n Saturday, October 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

San Bernardino School District Police Department, San Bernardino Parents in Action, MHS Central Valley Prevention Program and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring your pills for disposal to Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School at 1250 Medical Center Dr, San Bernardino, CA 92411.

(Sites cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last fall Americans turned in nearly 469 tons (more than 937,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at nearly 6,300 sites operated by the DEA and almost 5,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 17 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in more than 11.8 million pounds—

approximately 5,900 tons—of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines— flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

“My passion to help the commu-

nity began after taking the FLI (Family Leadership Institute) course. In 2018 we began to work with MHS Central Valley Prevention Program. We talked about what worries us about the environment that surrounds our children, and unfortunately, there are drugs, alcohol and bullying that affect our youth. We started the project of collecting prescription medication with the support of the Administration of the school, the school police department and the DEA. We have collected over 98 lbs. since the beginning of this project and thus we prevented the misuse of these drugs in our community. We are a group of more than 30 volunteers, and we hope that more groups get involved and interested in our community of San Bernardino California” shares Analit Mitre, a parent leader in San Bernardino.

T

he San Bernardino Public Library will be presenting “The History of Blues in America”, a history of American blues music through song and story, on Tuesday, October 29 at 1:45 pm and again at 6 pm. This free program will take place in the Bing Wong Auditorium at the Feldheym Central Library, 555 W. 6th Street.

Ferrer Gary offers ballet folklórico classes at his studio in San Bernardino to youth 15 and under twice a week at 5 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays for $30 month, or $4 per class. He also offers Zumba classes to adults and provides free child care for $20 per month for unlimited classes, Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Literacy everyone has books has always been a mission of mine as a teacher and administrator,” Jacquez revealed.

Funding for the vending machine was supported through ASB and the site’s Parent Teacher Organization; an allowance and a

Through the folklórico classes Gary teaches youth more than choreography and culture, but respect, discipline, courtesy and the importance of volunteerism and giving back to their community.

A promising photographer and fitness instructor, Gary lost his eyesight to meningitis in 2016 that nearly claimed his life. Following portion of Book Fair proceeds will be directed to replenishing the inventory.

Students will earn tokens by completing 10 Accelerated Reader (AR) tests, or for going above and beyond school expectations for proper behavior.

an arduous battle with depression, Gary emerged with a newfound passion in dance, one that keeps his spirits and perspective uplifted.

The history of American blues comes to life in this performance by music historian and acclaimed guitarist Joey Leone and his band.

Featuring songs, historical facts, and personal stories from Joey from his days playing and touring with blues legends like Etta James, Otis Rush, Wilson Pickett, Chubby Checker, The Coasters, and even Bruce Willis! Leone

combines his years of experience as a touring musician with his love of the blues in this one-of-a-kind show.

Joey Leone was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and migrated to Vermont over 20 years ago. During this time, Joey has created a name and reputation in the music industry that is based on his insane work ethic and guitar mastery. In a typical year, he plays in front of well over one million people. Joey has performed in 22 countries and 49 states.

This free performance is sponsored by the Friends of the San Bernardino Public Library. For more information call 909.381.8235 or visit www.sbpl.org or www.facebook.com/SBPLfriends/

Gary’s dance studio is located at 214 E. Highland Ave., San Bernardino (inside Baskin Robbins parking lot).

In addition, parents/guardians will also be given tokens during parent meetings as a means to further generate excitement within the household.

Affordable Housing: California’s State of Emergency

Guest Op-Ed

Ray Tse and Rebekah Hong Grad students

A state of emergency. Four daunting words that should catch the attention of our state. On Wednesday, September 25, 2019, the Los Angeles City Council proposed a state of emergency on homelessness. Los Angeles declared a state of emergency four years ago on the same issue – there were 25,000 homeless then. Today, an estimated number of 130,000 people are homeless in California with 36,000 of the population in Los Angeles. That is an increase of 11,000 homeless people in Los Angeles the past four years. It is now an issue for Governor Gavin Newsom to follow through on this recent proposal making sure that California and Los Angeles receive the federal support needed in a state of emergency.

We see them on the streets, living in their vehicles, on the sidewalks, and under freeway ramps. So listen up California. Policy makers. Residents. We have solutions on how to alleviate this emergency. Subsidized housing and building affordable housing are all proven remedies needed now. It’s your choice whether to listen, but more importantly, to act.

Let’s talk about this and the stigma behind affordable housing. Let’s break this stigma and focus on the positive aspects of affordable housing. What if I told you that affordable housing could benefit you? Or that affordable housing benefits whole communities?

Studies have shown that affordable housing leads to an increase in health, education, and neighborhood quality. First, we can focus on the issue of education. Studies suggest that students who experience homelessness or hypermobility are far more likely to drop out of school and suffer from learning disabilities and behavior problems. From the standpoint our children, we can see that this results in an ongoing cycle of poor academic achievement and poverty.

From a healthy community standpoint, increasing affordable housing options would help relieve the constant stress for families working fulltime but still cannot afford the rent. Think about what safe and affordable housing means to you. Many individuals in our community face the fear of losing their home every month. Whether you are rich or poor, we all need housing. By creating more affordable housing, people are able to focus on raising healthy families.

Homeowners will benefit from local income and increased property values. We all want to create an environment that will benefit our futures. Therefore, how about if we start off with not rejecting the idea of affordable housing? It is time to take a look at a resolution that will work for you and your community.

We must address the stigma surrounding affordable housing.

For example this summer in California’s own state capitol of Sacramento where residents opposed building affordable housing. Neighbors “fear the apartments will continue a trend of concentrating low-income and homeless individuals....”

Ending Homeless is one of our Grand Challenges. As opposition continues, the struggle increases, and this crisis will not get solved. Wake up California, we have an actual state of emergency, an epidemic occurring and as long as we fear change, things will only continue to worsen. It is time to say no to fear and yes to courage. It is time to move on from No In My Backyard (NIMBY) to Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY). It is time to speak up at city council meetings and say yes to building affordable housing. We know that affordable housing will not hurt our society, but will benefit it. Let’s step out with courage and embrace change. Let’s change California.

Ray and Rebekah are graduate students at USC in the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work program. This is an important issue to them as future social workers and concerned residents of Southern California.

They hope that from this op-ed piece it will be a wake-up call for action to the government and residents.

Important to be informed

Once again it’s a beautiful day in California today as I write. It’s sad it’s not the true state of this once Golden State. I was having my hair done and as I spoke again about my disappointment of our state many people in my conversation said they too have had enough and are looking to move out of California.

They had recently read there is corruption in the Cucamonga Water District they’ve manipulated voting in their favor using voters as pawns to keep their positions. To extend their terms. I had read this too. We have an election on November in RANCHO to vote for new Water Board Representatives. I contacted Mark Gibboney a candidate by e- mail he shared the corruption in our community Water board. Now I know why when I am billed every month and my average bill is $200.00 a month - unbelievable. I don’t even water my front yard the lawn died after I put in the city device that was supposed to save water by monitoring humidity in the ground. I am angry I supported this stupid plan now.

I will be voting for him on No-

vember 5th. As we talked to one another someone said that her friend’s husband is a parole officer and spends hours writing reports to get a felon back into jail because they shouldn’t be back in society. He’s told they’re sentenced to a year again only to find out they’re out in less then a month doing their crimes all over again.

She said her husband feels like he’s beating his head against a wall. This governor Newsom has tied our Law Enforcement hands, has taken our rights as parents away through sex education distortion teaching them pornography. He signs bills taking our right to bear arms away while not doing anything about the increase in crime, homelessness, drug & alcohol abuse, epidemic of typhoid fever and bubonic plague in our inner cities.

Have you noticed the rat traps all over our community - it’s because of homelessness. Wherever there is filth there will be an infestation of rats and diseases they bring. In Northern California people have homeless living in their front yard, defecating and urinating on their lawn. When they complain to city officials their homes smell like

sewers they’re told nothing can be done they have rights too.

Our state is worse then third world countries currently. We have 16% poverty - citizens here are not encouraged to work but instead told to sign up for welfare. Soon we’ll be a country like Venezuela.

They are still diving into dumpsters for their food.

The recent manipulation of our electricity is another tactic of socialism which is what California leaders have led us too in this season. We must stand up and fight not just sit in groups and talk about it or gossip about it but move forward in action by calling, e-mailing and even going in protest to our liberal leaders’ offices and demand they serve us & enforce our laws, work to clean up our streets and bring order in chaos. If they don’t respond then we vote them out of office or soon we’ll not have a pot to call our own. Just speaking truth.

Check out those in your district that are running for Congress, State, U.S. or other community positions you probably have corruption in your community too.

However because you kept your eyes closed didn’t become informed you too will suffer in your community like inner city LA, San Francisco, San Diego and San Bernardino.

Be informed as our founding fathers before us told us to be, John Adams stated, “ LIBERTY CANNOT BE PRESERVED WITHOUT A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE PEOPLE.” Also stated by Thomas Jefferson, “IF WE ARE TO GUARD AGAINST IGNORANCE AND REMAIN FREE, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY AMERICAN TO BE INFORMED.” Get involved don’t just talk check out those running for office contact them personally as I do. BE INFORMED! I’ll leave with this Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.16 I pray that out of HIS glorious riches HE may strengthen you with power through HIS SPIRIT in your inner being. With prayer all things are possible so pray with me as I pray everyday our LORDS will be done, as in in HIS word Heb 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from GOD’S sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before HIM to whom we are held to account. This will bring the corruption forward so those responsible for chaos of our state will be held accountable once and for all but not if you remain silent and are not informed.

Blessings a concerned citizen, Susie Rancho Cucamonga

Upcoming ‘Califor nia Classic’ at Crafton Hills College to showcase future Paralympians student.

“It is an honor to continue the tradition of hosting the California Classic Para Swimming Open for 2019,” said Kevin Horan, President of Crafton Hills College.

“This year is extra special as one of our own Roadrunner athletes is participating. To have top paraathletes from all over the country competing on our campus is humbling. We invite the entire Inland Empire community to come out for the event. You will see great competitors and have an opportunity to experience the beauty of Crafton Hills College.”

The Classic is a two-day event where para-athletes compete against one another in hopes of beating records, improving times, and working to secure a spot in the upcoming Paralympics in Tokyo next year.

T

he California Classic is back at Crafton Hills College the weekend of October 25, and the public is welcome to watch potential Paralympians in action.

The annual sporting event found a home in the Yucaipa-based college’s Aquatics Center a few years ago and has since become a favorite of CHC staff, students and faculty.

Words to T hink About: One man’s weight loss jour ney It is relatively easy to imagine the trauma that he experienced in those years. Being black, grossly overweight, limited social life and above all, suffering a body that was falling apart. He told me he had to take medicine for his knees, his low back and other parts of his body.

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

Ken Ford is one of the most interesting men I’ve met. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, his family moved to San Bernardino when he was five years old. He currently lives in Redlands.

Unfortunately, Ken’s father died when he was 6 years old. He was raised by his mother. Psychologists know that under normal circumstances, a child will cling to a pacifier of one kind or another.

Food (a nipple, a bottle, baby food,) becomes the child’s normal choice. Unruly behavior, rebellion will often follow. Personally, as a child I began to stutter.

Ken used food, more and more.

By the time he graduated from Pacific High School, he weighed 230 pounds. He was eating constantly.

As Ken grew older, his body became larger. His 6 feet 1 inch body became fatter and fatter. From about age 20 until age 50 he worked at menial jobs, working at YMCA and city schools from time to time. His weight became heaver until he weighed 620 pounds.

He describes his eating as a total fast food. He devoured a dozen donuts at any time; not one Big Mac but 2 or 3 at a time; french fries by the bucket. Food became the substitute for friendship, extended family and a few friends his age.

There is a trait that Ken has that reflects a very real spirit. He’s a happy guy. From every comment he’s made and the number of pictures he has shown me, in the midst of his 620 pounds he was always in a happy mood. Similar to what exudes currently.

With his father gone, his mother was his only family. My own childhood was so severe that I had problems. My mother gave me up when I was 2-1/2 years old. For years it contributed to my rebellion and stuttering. Emotional attributes.

As a therapist I saw scores of patients who acted out their hurt spirits with over eating.

Dates were out of the question.

Long term friendships were a fantasy. They couldn’t have been happy. Their weight isolated them.

COURTESY PHOTOS

At his heaviest, Ken Ford weighed 620 pounds; today he is 230 pounds, nearly 400 pounds lighter.

Back to Ken. His weight caused him all kinds of physical problems. He had to take several prescriptions: for his knees, his low back, his kidneys, his liver, his lungs; beside his stomach and digestive system.

In spite of his weight, Ken worked diligently between age 20 and 50. He taught water aerobics, swimming classes, and taught basketball to kids.

Then about ten years ago he began to think about “gastric bypass surgery.” The medical word is, “BARIATRIC SURGERY.” He was informed that as with all major procedures there are significant health risks and side effects.

He was about 45 years old.

Two major items were necessary.

Ken had to lose 50 pounds and have extensive counselling with a Psychiatrist. I’ve known three people that had the Bariatric Surgery, and all three lost a lot of

weight, however, they began to eat “junk” food and gained back all their weight.

Ken has vowed NEVER to gain his 387 pounds back. He currently weighs 230 pounds.

Today, in spite of a number of traumatic events, Ken is a vibrant, happy man. His mother died last July and he misses her tremendously, but with his water aerobics job and his 1988 baby blue Cadillac and many friends, he is a survivor.

Ken is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of food. He examines every can and box and reads every label. He also swims ten laps a day at the swimming pools where he is an instructor in water aerobics. Eight classes a day.

Ken has two important goals. He wants to weigh 220 pounds. That would be exactly 400 pounds from his high of 620 pounds. The other is to finish the excess skin removal

from his lower body.

THE FOLLOWING THREE COMMENTS REFLECT WHAT MANY HAVE FOR KEN. Kayla is a co-worker: “Ken is vibrant and fun. Every time he walks through the YMCA doors, he has a huge smile on his face. He makes all of our YMCA members feel like they are a part of our community here. He is a huge asset to the YMCA and is constantly bringing joy and inspiration to all those around him.

He is humble and always takes the time to smile, say hello and greet everyone he comes across.”

Gabriel’s letter to Ken: “I made it. I am going to USMC bootcamp this Monday! I got the career I wanted, which is aviation mechanic. I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring and pushing me to lose the weight and to always strive to become a better person. I lost 50 pounds. Thank you for everything and best of luck on all your future endeavors.”

Lindsey, the Executive Director of the Highland Y.M.C.A, gladly says: “Ken Ford comes to the Highland Family Y.M.C.A. every couple of days. He is an instructor of water aerobics. He always shows up with a smile on his face, ready to give everyone a great workout. It’s hard to find a fun loving, hardworking aquatic instructor and we are grateful to have Ken. One final thought. If you need a program, Ken is an excellent speaker. His phone number is 909977-8783.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

Caden Center The Wor ld Series: Underdog vs. the Beast

T

he baseball seasons is wrapping up, and this postseason has been wild.

We saw the Dodgers go out early, the Nationals make an unprecedented run, and the Astros claw their way back to the World Series.

Astros vs Nationals, who will win? Let’s break it down.

The Astros are as strong as ever.

We all know about Jose Altuve, who hit the two run bomb to get them here in Game 6. There are also other stars on the ‘Stros guys like Carlos Correa and Alex Bergman. Not to mention their ace Justin Verlander. This team is strong, shows great chemistry, and is hungry to take back baseball’s crown.

We head over the Nats. This season for them was all about defying the odds. After losing Bryce Harper, no one expected them to be here, especially after their rough start, but here they are. Led by their ridiculous pitching staff led by Max Scherzer and Stephen

Strausburg, they’ll make Houston’s life hard. But I don’t see them fully stacking up, at least on paper, to the Astros.

My prediction: Game 1: Nats Game 2: Astros Game 3: Astros Game 4: Nats Game 5: Astros Game 6: Astros. I see the Astros being too much for the Nationals, as they bring the World Series trophy back to Houston. What a season it’s been! This MLB season brought untimely injuries, unfortunate deaths, and underdog stories, and all of baseball is excited to see how it ends.

County adopts resolution of suppor t for deser t protection

T

he San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has adopted a resolution acknowledging the value of conservation, tourism, and recreation in “California’s rich desert landscape.”

The resolution adopted October 8th, 2019 is a show of support for the last 25 years of desert conservation, which were catalyzed by the 1994 California Desert Protection Act (CDPA). October 31st marks the 25th anniversary of the Act which established Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks, Mojave National Preserve, and 3.5 million acres of wilderness.

According to the resolution, the Act “catalyzed efforts to protect natural areas and military installations through subsequent legislative and administrative efforts.” It also “safeguards precious groundwater” which supports the “fragile desert ecosystem”, and provides recreational resources, solitude, and “undisturbed vistas and clear night skies.”

The resolution was presented by Supervisor Dawn Rowe during a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Act at the Mojave Desert Land Trust headquarters on October 8th. The event is one of a number of festivities happening across the Desert to celebrate the last 25 years.

This anniversary marks an important moment to appreciate the public lands we enjoy in the California Desert. The California desert landscape is one of the most biologically rich places in the state. The California Desert Protection Act was a landmark accomplishment for the California desert ecosystem and the start of one of the most sweeping conservation endeavors in the lower 48 states.

It led to the creation of three National Parks, four National Monuments, and millions of acres of public lands to be used specifically for recreation, protection of cultural, historical and biological treasures, and streamlined renewable energy development through the 2016 Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan and the John D. Dingell, Jr, Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 2019.

These protected lands draw millions of visitors from all over the world each year, bolstering local economies and creating jobs.

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is designed to protect employees from workplace harassment, discrimination, and retaliation based on protected characteristics such as sex and gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age, religion, disability, and more. Often, harassment based on gender, race, religious preferences or other protected characteristics leads to, or is connected with, sexual harassment.

“Victims of workplace harassment and other forms of discrimination often fail to come forward within one year because they are unaware of their rights or that the treatment they endured was illegal.

This is especially true in low-wage industries that have higher rates of harassment. We commend Governor Newsom for signing this vital legislation.” – Jessica Stender, Senior Counsel for Workplace Justice & Public Policy, Equal Rights Advocates.

“We’re grateful to Governor Newsom for seeing the wisdom in this legislation,” said Consumer Attorneys of California president Mike Arias. “It will give victims a better chance to hold sexual predators accountable and in the process reduce the number of repeat offenders. Along with other #MeToo legislation, it will help create a better workplace for all Californians.”

“We applaud Governor Newsom for signing this critically important #MeToo bill into law,” said Mariko Yoshihara, Policy Director for the California Employment Lawyers Association. “As we’ve seen with the #MeToo movement, often it takes time before a person feels safe and comfortable enough to report on their own experience of harassment. AB 9 reflects this important reality and will ensure that more workers are not timedbarred from seeking justice.”

NOTICE OF AMENDED PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MARIA S. CONTRERAS aka MARIA SALLY CONTRERAS aka MARIA A. CONTRERAS

Case No. PROPS1900800 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MARIA S. CONTRERAS aka MARIA SALLY CONTRERAS aka MARIA A. CONTRERAS AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Emily Martinez in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO. THE AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Emily Martinez be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE AMENDED PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE AMENDED PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the amended petition will be held on Nov. 12, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. S36 located at 247 W. Third St., San Bernardino, CA 92415.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is availa-ble from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-861394-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street

address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a

trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-866-539-4173 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkauction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-57528. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
