Beware of Grant Deed Scams
Norwalk~Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean Logan joined Assemblymember Ted Lieu, L.A. County Assessor Robert Quon and Riverside County Assessor-Clerk Larry Ward at a press conference this week to remind Los Angeles County residents that property documents such as Grant Deeds are readily available to them through the RR/CC for a small fee. The press conference warned the public of recent mailings sent to homeowners by third party private companies soliciting a fee for copies of their Grant Deed.
Logan said, "In these economically difficult times, when homeowners are challenged and people are trying to make ends meet, it is important that our residents are adequately informed about the services available to them in order to protect them from unnecessary or deceptive solicitations like these."

East is Beast as 605 Game Goes Down to the Wire
Norwalk~The 43rd annual 605 All-Star Football Classic started off slow as neither team could find its niche, but the West eventually did, and won the game, 25-19, at Cerritos College.
On its first possession, East QB Chris Leachman (LB POLY) threw a duck; and it was picked off by the West squad's Phillip Wilson (LB WILSON). Then, on a crucial 4th and 6, West QB Alden Darby (LB MILLIKAN), rolled right only to find East squad Defensive End Adrian Cortez (NORWALK), there to stop him.
Midway through the second quarter, a break down in coverage allowed for the West squad to score.
While The Guru was in the bathroom the West scored again!
Then as the first half was winding down, East squad RB Davion Edwards(NORWALK), plunged in from two yards out. That would take us to the half, with the score 12-6, in favor of the West.
