DANCE TO EARTH A community celebration of Earth Day April 20

in Hollister featured dancing, songs and crafts.

Celebrate the Earth! Youngsters and families joined with dancers from Calpuli Itzpapalotl Danza Azteca at Veterans Memorial Park in Hollister on April 20, as the city celebrated Earth Day with San Benito County Integrated Waste Management and more than 15 community, school and business partners providing education and interactive Earth Day games and activities for all ages. The all-day event featured an “upcycled” art workshop, free yoga classes, free bike safety checks—even free secure on-site shredding and e-waste collection.

San Juan Bautista residents were surprised this past week when they turned on the faucets and saw their bath water running brown. Several residents took to social media, posting photos of bathtubs and glasses filled with brown water or writing posts concerned about the water’s safety on San Juan Bautista’s community Facebook page. The comments prompted a response from the San Juan Bautista city government, which said the water was not dangerous, and the situation was being addressed by installing an iron manganese treatment plant near one of the city’s existing wells. The city’s problems with drinking water quality are not recent. A moratorium was put in place in 2016 by the State Water Resource Control Board, Division of Drinking Water because the city’s well water had levels of nitrite that exceeded acceptable levels. According to a letter from the resource control board to the city, at the time the moratorium was put in place, the city was using three wells, two of which were found to have higher than acceptable nitrite levels. The moratorium was lifted in December 2018,

Hollister cannabis debate drags on COUNCIL WANTS ANOTHER PUBLIC FORUM BEFORE VOTING Jaqueline McCool Reporter

Two cannabis dispensaries are preparing to open in Hollister, but the City Council is still reluctant to approve the sale of recreational cannabis. No council member made a motion on the issue at an

April 22 meeting, preferring instead to schedule another public forum on the topic. The outcome of more than a year of wrangling may be a foregone conclusion, as council members voiced support for allowing cannabis sales to all adults in the city—but they continue to balk at taking a vote. Mayor Ignacio Velazquez said repeatedly during the April 22

meeting that he wanted to ensure the ordinance was “done right” before he would support a vote. A public input session on cannabis in Hollister was held March 14 at the Veteran’s Memorial building, but Velazquez and councilmember Rolan Resendiz didn’t attend. They said they had not been aware of the meeting. The pair, new allies on most issues, asked for

another public meeting ahead of any vote on the matter. City staff presented proposed changes to the city’s existing cannabis ordinance meeting. The biggest proposed change was the removal of the word “medical” from the ordinance. The staff ’s position is that there is no longer an explicit difference between medical and recreational use, following

the state law that allows the production, sale and use of recreational cannabis, with individual municipalities given authority to allow sales. Earlier this year, council members directed staff to come up with more specific proposed changes and to gauge public support. Despite an information session and a more ➝ Cannabis, 4

should also be able to see the request for proposal before it is sent out. “I always think it’s important for the entire council to be involved in that decision,” Velazquez told the Free Lance. The council agreed on getting the request to proposal sent to them along with the Ad Hoc committee before it was sent to the recruiting firms. If the council had not decided to outsource the candidate recruitment process, they could have delegated the task to the city staff. Council members agreed the job should be given to a professional executive recruiting firm. The ad hoc committee was created April 15 and is made up of two council members which Velazquez appoints. He said it was standard practice to pick himself and the vice mayor, whoever that may be. After the recruiting firm is selected the process of finding a candidate for city manager is expected to speed up.

Volunteers spruce up downtown

Robert Robert Eliason Eliason

Following City Manager Bill Avera’s retirement one year into his three-year contract, the City of Hollister has begun the process of selecting a new city manager. Avera has said he will officially leave his position in November, which is how long he believes it will take to find a successor. Avera’s retirement was announced in February, although Avera said he had discussed stepping down in a closed city council session a month earlier. In March, the council decided to outsource the recruiting process to a professional headhunting firm. Avera was expected to present a request for a proposal that would be sent to the firms at the April 22 meeting, but he did not have a letter to present the council. He said he hoped to send the request to the firms by the end of the week. Mayor Ignacio Velazquez and Vice Mayor Marty Richman were both selected to serve on the ad hoc committee to find the next city manager. Avera said he would send a copy of the request for proposal to the committee before he sent it out to firms. Velazquez told Avera at the meeting that he believed the council

Students go on‘virtual’ trips

Cannabis license holders await OK

PILOT PROGRAM USES TABLETS FOR VR VISITS

➝ Cannabis, 1

Scott Forstner Reporter

Special to the Free Lance

Hollister teachers can now take their students just about anywhere in the world without leaving their classrooms. That’s because of a new “virtual field trip pilot” program, facilitated through the Hollister School District’s technology department. “With a teacher guiding an expedition, students can be placed right in the middle of a museum or any number of other landmarks,” said J.R. Rayas, who heads up the district’s Technology and Innovation Department. “I love seeing students use their tablet as a window to explore, think and wonder.” With about an $8,500 investment in Google Chrome tablets, the tech team started with a fifth-grade class at Calaveras Elementary School. Enhancing a lesson on the solar system, teachers Danielle Canez and Jaime Garcia led students on a tour that included visuals of the Milky Way Galaxy and stops at each planet in the solar system. Each student worked with a partner to explore, discuss and question the details of the solar system, according to staff. “This new and exciting technology allows a teacher to lead an expedition of their choosing while all of their students follow along with their own tablet,” Rayas explained. The pilot program is led by the district’s Path to Progress group, a cadre of mentors “who have been working

NEW AGE EXPLORERS Hollister elementary school students use tablets to take a virtual field trip thanks to a new district-wide pilot program. to incorporate effective and innovative technology practices in their classrooms.” “It is exciting to watch our teacher leaders incorporate the tablets so successfully into their curriculum,” said Ed Tech’s Tiffany Bianchi. “The level of student engagement as they explore and make connections to prior learning was amazing.” Second-grade students at Calaveras and Cerra Vista Elementary Schools have already taken virtual field trips to six museums around the world. One trip corresponded with a language arts lesson in which the students had read about Sue Hendrickson’s discovery of Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Teachers Janet Raper, Kristen Damm and Catalina Johnson led their classes through exhibits at the various museums, noting the

adaptations of the multitudes of dinosaurs. The crowning point of the tour was the uproar of the class as they were able to stand right in front of Sue the T. Rex at the Chicago Field Museum, according to Rayas. “Watching the videos of our students engaged in these virtual field trips has been amazing,” said district Superintendent Diego Ochoa. “I’ve seen high levels of excitement met with real emotional responses from our students.” Rayas hopes to expand the pilot program to other district schools. “It’s definitely something we want as many kids to experience as possible,” said Rayas, whose tech staff brings the set of tablets directly to the classroom for the lead teacher to use on any particular day.

Then, they pack up the traveling set and bring them to the next classroom. “Each teacher who has been part of our committee takes the lead in piloting the virtual field trips in their classroom and also showcases it for other teachers at their school,” Rayas said. “It’s been amazing. ...Teachers are taking it to the next level.” There are hundreds of expeditions available, with some created and published by other users, according to Rayas. “It’s an ongoing process. If it goes further, we definitely want to expand to have a set of tablets for each school site,” Rayas said. “We will take all the feedback we can about the user experiences to see if there were any tech issues and look for new innovations and applications.”

in-depth presentation, there was still no vote on the proposal. In a motion brought forward by the mayor at this week’s meeting, council decided to host a town hall on May 13 at 6pm at the council chambers, which will be open to all Hollister residents. Hollister has allowed medical sales since 2018, but storefronts have yet to open. California’s Adult Use Marijuana Act went into effect January 2018. Council members Marty Richman and Resendiz said they would like to see the dispensaries open and operating before deciding whether or not to permit recreational sales. Council member, Honor Spencer felt more discussion on the topic was unnecessary. She said at the council meeting that one public session was enough and that the city should start moving forward on plans to allow recreational use. “I would just like to point out that this did go to a vote and 68 percent of this town voted to have recreational cannabis,” said Spencer. Velazquez disagreed. He said the city should take its time in making a decision and hear from all residents. Velazquez has continually said that decisions surrounding cannabis should be made specific to the city of Hollister and not by comparison to how other municipalities have handled the issue. “We shouldn’t be here competing with other communities,” said Velazquez. “This is what we’re comfortable with, what anyone else is doing that’s pretty much their business.” Cannabis Affairs Director for the city, Maria Mendez, presented the report to the council. She said Hollister has received 73 applications for cannabis businesses since the first cannabis ordinance was approved. City Manager, Bill Avera, warned the council that when the two dispensaries open the revenue jump may not be as high because recreational sales were not allowed. He told the council that the city was currently “breaking even” when it came to cannabis in the city.

Working to close ‘achievement gap’

GUEST OPINION THE BAY AREA COUNCIL

Homeless crisis needs a regional solution

he Bay Area’s homeless crisis ranks among the most severe in the United States. More than 28,000 people—a population as large or larger than 50 of the region’s 101 cities—across the nine-county Bay Area suffer from homelessness, making the region’s homeless population the third largest in the country, behind only New York and Los Angeles. The Bay Area also has among the highest level of unsheltered homeless in the country, with 67 percent living on the streets, in tents or cars, among other places. The total homeless figure, which is drawn from local point-in-time count data, is likely much higher and also does not include people who might be sleeping on a friend’s couch or similar situation. The Bay Area’s homeless crisis is a regional humanitarian crisis that does not abide traditional local boundaries. One city, one county alone cannot solve homelessness, but that’s largely how we’ve been approaching it. Here are our recommendations: • Consolidate existing state programs into a new California Homeless Services Agency • Require regional homeless management plans that would be updated every two years • Launch two regional joint task forces to better understand and direct funding streams and leverage technology to better manage provision and access of services • Create a new state tax credit program dedicated to construction of housing for extremely low-income households that are at most risk of falling into homelessness • Dramatically expand the supply of permanent support housing, emergency and longer-term shelters and other spaces based on current and projected needs across the region

• Expand and better tailor homeless prevention and diversion programs to serve specific populations and needs • Simplify and strengthen local approval process for creating all types of homelessserving housing, including emergency shelters, permanent supportive housing and more • Develop regional models to attract greater private and philanthropic investment Some cities and counties carry a disproportionate share of responsibility for providing housing, services and programs to a homeless population that is highly mobile. The disconnections create a system that cannot optimize resources or plan for a solution at scale. The Bay Area has the brains, the brawn, the heart and the resources to end the scourge of homelessness. But it will take all of us working together at a regional level to do it. We’re finding cures for cancer and HIV and other deadly diseases, we’re developing incredible technologies that are changing the world and improving lives across the globe. We can also end homelessness. The larger regional housing crisis is a driving cause of homelessness, but there is also a dearth of various types of housing—emergency shelters, permanent supportive housing, extremely lowincome housing (for people earning 30 percent or less of average median income)—needed to address the problem directly. The problem is urgent and requires meaningful commitments across sectors. We hope the findings of this study can serve as an important catalyst for regional collaboration to end homelessness.

California has poured tens of billions of additional dollars into its public schools this decade on the assumption—or hope—that this would close the state’s stubborn academic “achievement gap.” Former Gov. Jerry Brown championed the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) that gives school districts with large numbers of poor and/or “Englishlearner” students extra funds to improve their educational outcomes. Brown, however, was unwilling for the state to closely monitor how those billions of dollars were spent, or whether they had at least begun to close the gap. He said he trusted local school boards and educators to spend the money responsibly and effectively. There’s almost no evidence that the statewide gap has narrowed, but we may finally get some real data on how the LCFF money has been spent and whether it’s accomplishing its stated purpose. The Legislature has given State Auditor Elaine Howle the task of delving into how LCFF is working in “three large, geographically dispersed districts” with substantial numbers of at-risk students, determining how the districts are spending the extra money and how they are measuring their progress. Meanwhile, Brown’s successor, Gavin Newsom, wants to create a system of collecting “longitudinal education data” that will “provide a clear picture of how students advance from early childhood education programs through K-12 schools to postsecondary education and into the workforce.” Sen. Steve Glazer, an Orinda Democrat, is carrying legislation to create the data system Newsom supports and it has cleared its first committee hearing. “It would include reforms to be monitored, gaps in the education system to be identified and specific changes to be made,” Glazer told the Senate Education Committee. “In addition, these systems would enable decision-makers to develop an early detection system that would trigger interventions when needed and a placement system that would better assign students into appropriate courses in high school and college.” The state audit and a new data system could shed light on the most frustrating aspect of California’s achievement gap—why it’s so wide in some local school systems but much narrower or even nonexistent in others with equally daunting socioeconomic profiles. A recent report highlighted the remarkable achievement in the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District, which serves two small San Joaquin Valley farm towns. The district has the third-highest rate of poverty of any unified school district in California, a factor repeatedly linked to low test scores, high dropout rates and more. The district’s students come mostly from farmworker families, many of them with undocumented immigrant parents. However, in spite of these factors, the district’s high school produces graduates who are ready for college at rates comparable to schools with half as many students living in poverty. District Superintendent Yolanda Valdez said, “We want to be the place where people come and see what poor kids can do when given opportunity. Poverty is not an excuse.” One key factor is that with 97 percent of students living in poverty, the district received nearly $13 million in extra funds under LCFF, about $3,250 per student, “which was spent on counselors for lowincome youth, parent education programs and more.” Cutler-Orosi isn’t alone. Other poverty-stricken districts, especially those in rural farm towns, have had similarly remarkable records of academic achievement. They prove that poor kids can learn. Perhaps the new accountability systems will point the way to replicating their success in districts, especially big urban districts, that have shown abysmal results to date.

Police find alligator in Hollister home OWNER WASN’T HOME AT TIME OF RAID Staff report

Plain or Marinated

The market will be open from 3pm to 7:30pm.

Hollister Police and state authorities seized a 5-foot alligator from a local home last week after executing a search warrant. The Hollister Police Department posted on its Facebook page April 18 that the warrant was

acquired on suspicion of possession of a restricted species at the residence. The search was conducted with the assistance of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United Narcotics Enforcement Team. During the search, authorities found the alligator, a ferret and a small indoor marijuana growing operation, according to the Facebook post. “The

animals were seized to be taken to a properly permitted facility and (marijuana) plants (were) taken as evidence,” the post reads. The suspect, who is not named in the Facebook post, was not at home at the time of the search, police said. The social media post does not say on which street the home is located. Hollister police did not return a phone call requesting more details.

meals were spoiled. Tewes responded to community complaints with a post on the city’s website. “The color in the water is from sources which we are addressing. First, Well 5, although compliant with nitrate standards, does have measurable amounts of iron and manganese in the water. Second, when the new wells have to be used, their higher pressure tends to dislodge iron from inside the very old pipes,” wrote Tewes. “The city is installing a special iron/manganese treatment

plant on the Well 6 location in order to remove iron from the source of supply. All the city's wells will be routed through the new treatment plant. We anticipate that the installation of the treatment plant and the completion of the Well 6 upgrades will be completed by the end of May 2019.” The construction on Well 6 can be seen from Old San Juan Road, That well was purchased from a local farmer and sits on agricultural land.

after the city added two wells, Nos. 5 and 6, with acceptable nitrite levels, giving the city a total of three active wells. Interim City Manager Edward Tewes said in an interview that the discolored water is coming from Well 5, which has higher than average iron manganese levels. Tewes told the Free Lance that the levels are not dangerous, and that the city only activates Well 5 when there is an uptick

in water use. In the third week of March temperatures rose and San Juan Bautista residents used more water, which started coming from Well 5. Tewes said another reason for the brackish color was because Well 5 is rarely used, so residual dirt was pushed from the pipes. Chatter on social media continued through Easter weekend, as residents posted photos of their water to the community page, some complaining their family holiday

Bill could require Gavilan to allow overnight parking LEGISLATURE FACES ISSUE OF HOMELESS STUDENTS Scott Forstner Reporter

File Photo

College students may soon be allowed to sleep in their vehicles overnight on campuses across the state, if a new bill being reviewed by the State Assembly becomes a law. The parking proposal measure—proposed by a Palo Alto assembly member to help address a component of the larger homelessness epidemic—would kick in July 1, 2020. The State Assembly’s higher education committee reviewed the bill at a recent session. “We are aware of this bill. It has not yet been passed into law, but If it does, it will apply to all California community colleges, including Gavilan,” said Gavilan spokesperson Jan Bernstein-Chargin. Overnight parking is not currently allowed on the Gavilan campus, Bernstein-Chargin noted. According to multiple news reports, a survey conducted by the Hope Center concluded that nearly 20 percent of California community college students surveyed reported experiencing homelessness within the past year. “Existing law requires a community college campus that has shower facilities for student use to grant access, as specified, to those facilities to any homeless student who is enrolled in coursework, has paid enrollment

fees and is in good standing with the community college district, and requires the community college to determine a plan of action to implement this requirement,” according to the legislative digest for AB302. The new bill would apply to the same group of students “for the purpose of sleeping in the student’s vehicle overnight.” Each college’s governing boards would “determine a plan of action to implement this requirement, as specified” and “impose a statemandated local program.” Other parameters of the bill would call for participants to submit an overnight parking form and liability waiver in order to access the overnight parking facilities. “It is an issue for the students involved; they have a difficult time getting a good night’s rest, and face the possibility of being ticketed or awakened during the night if they don’t have a designated place to park,” said Bernstein-Chargin, also a homeless advocate for the Compassion Center in Gilroy. “The issue for the college is in supporting these students and helping them succeed.” The Hope Center surveyed nearly 40,000 students at 57 community colleges, and found more than half felt insecure about their housing situations the previous year, according to one news report. The bill is sponsored by State Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto).

IT’S TIME TO GOLF Ethan Fowles, Brian Plemmons and Austin Wilson are three of the top players on a San Benito High boys golf team that has seen its numbers rise this season with 24 players in the program, combining the varsity and junior varsity squads.

BOYS GOLF

Growth on the links IN REBUILDING YEAR, BALERS SEE PLENTY OF POTENTIAL AS THEY SEEK IMPROVEMENT emanuel lee Sports Editor

Home sweet home

“We’re fortunate to have San Juan Oaks as our home course,” Synegal said. “Manny Freitas and those guys are so accommodating and makes sure everyone is taken care of. They make sure we have everything we need to do well. It’s a huge benefit to be able to go out every afternoon to San Juan Oaks and have a place to work on our game.” In addition, Synegal said Freitas and the club help the team get a discount on uniform and bags so “we can go out there, look good and feel good as a public school and do what we do.” Plemmons is an up-andcomer who hopes to make some serious noise by next season. He was the team’s No. 4 golfer a year

Robert Eliason

Reggie Synegal has been the San Benito High boys golf coach since 2008, so he knows the program goes through certain cycles. Synegal knew this year would be a rebuilding one to get numbers up and instill in the players a passion to continually improve. By those measures, the Haybalers are well on their way toward accomplishing their goals. “It’s a growing year where we’re trying to get everyone committed as always,” Synegal said. “We’ve got 24 kids in the program (compared to 18 or 19 last year), and we see a lot of potential in the future. We knew sooner or later we’d have a lot of young players who are new to the game, and this is one of those years where you have to start developing.” The roster includes Brian Plemmons, Austin Wilson, Ethan Fowles, Christian Puccinelli, Ryan Perry, Chris Jurevich, Garret Minkel, Ryan Amaya and Josh Zapien. Plemmons is the team’s No. 1 golfer and has come a long way in just his third season of competitive golf. He’s shot a low round of 36 and aims to be competitive in the upcoming league championships. “Brian’s short game is really dynamite,” Synegal said. “He can get up and down and his putting has been really fantastic.” Synegal has high hopes for several of his players, including the sophomore Fowles, whose

positive attitude and tireless work ethic has rubbed off on his teammates and competitors. “Ethan is putting in the work it takes to be successful at this game for a long time,” Synegal said. “He is one of those guys who represent the future of our program.” On a typical Saturday, Synegal could be going about his business when he receives a text from Fowles that the sophomore is out on the range or course. “It’s always a pleasure to know some of these guys are putting in the extra effort to play on the weekends,” Synegal said. They’re out there working on their game.” Wilson, a junior, also plays with a positive attitude and is mentor for some of the freshmen and sophomores in the program. Amaya, Minkel, Zapien, Perry, Jurevich and Puccinelli have solidified the back end of the lineup and are now looking to shoot lower scores. Synegal expressed tremendous gratitude and thankfulness toward San Juan Oaks Golf Club and General Manager Manny Freitas.

GOT THAT SWING Balers junior Brian Plemmons has become the team’s No. 1 golfer and has made steady

improvement in just his third season of playing competitive golf after playing baseball most of his life. ago and has gained confidence after overcoming a rough patch in the season. “I’ve been making a lot of adjustments throughout the season and putting in a lot of hard work with all of my teammates,” he said. “Now I’m confident my game is where I want it to be.”

Plemmons grew up playing baseball but decided to focus on golf full time starting in his freshman year. The transition was a rather smooth one, as it didn’t take long for Plemmons to nail down a basic swing and continually improve. As the team’s top returning player, Plemmons hopes to set

a good example by working hard so his teammates will develop a love and passion for the game as well. “I want to help the team finish off this year well,” he said. “And through hard by next year we’ll be one of the top teams (in the league) and hopefully making it to CCS.”

GAME FACE University of Hawaii catcher/first baseman Callee Heen is the team’s top hitter and two-time conference player of the week.

Cassidy Heen

hen the University of Hawaii played a three-game set against Cal Poly on April 5-6, the Mustangs intentionally walked Callee Heen a couple of times. Truth be told, Heen would’ve rather had the opportunity to take the bat off her shoulder and swing away; however, the junior catcher/first baseman couldn’t help but feel good since an intentional walk is the ultimate show of respect toward a batter. Whether she’s getting intentionally walked, hitting home runs or enduring a rare slump, Heen never dwells on any one game. As cliché as it may sound, Heen’s pitch by pitch, inning by inning, game by game approach has helped her focus on the task at hand, leading to a terrific season for the Rainbow Wahine, which is in contention to earn a NCAA Tournament berth for the first time in a long time. “We talked at the beginning of the season that this team has talent and we have something special on this team that can get us very far,” said Heen, a former San Benito High standout. “And hopefully we can get to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a while.” For the third straight season,

to continually hone her game and improve. “He’s pushed me my whole life to be the best I can be and the best teammate I can be,” she said. “He’s my coach for everything, from having a strong mindset to leadership skills. He’s always talking or texting me after a series letting me know what I did wrong and what I need to improve on. He’ll give me some compliments every now and then. Maybe on home runs he’ll say, ‘Oh, that was a nice shot, but I guess you could’ve hit it a little further.’ It’s great, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Last season, Heen excelled on and off the field, as she earned Big West Academic AllConference honors and Hawaii Scholar-Athlete honors. Heen is roommates with another former Baler standout, Brittnee Rossi, who has started in all 37 games this season as well. “She’s adjusting really well, and it’s nice to see a familiar face on the team,” Heen said. Heen, who bats cleanup, and No. 2 hitter Nicole Lopez have built a close friendship over the last couple of years, which has energized Heen’s play. “I try to feed off of my teammates, especially Nicole,” Heen said. “If I’m down, Nicole is up, and if she’s down, I’m up. We try to pick each other up.” Even though Heen has put up some big numbers, she’s not inclined to focus on them. That type of reflection can come after the season is over. During the season, Heen knows the path to sustained success starts with a steely-eye focus in each at-bat

Cassidy Heen

W Sports Editor

Heen has been an absolute force. The 5-foot-8 junior has already earned Big West Conference Player of the Week honors twice this season. Before entering a three-game set at Cal State Fullerton last Friday—Hawaii was 27-10 overall and 8-1 in conference—Heen had started all 37 games and had team-best marks in average (.392), home runs (12), RBIs (39), slugging percentage (.794), walks (23), and on-base percentage (.512). Heen has also excelled defensively at catcher and first base, recording 289 putouts. Heen couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable college experience. “It’s been great,” she said. “We’re in a great environment, the Aloha as you call it playing at home, and all of the fans have been super. We’re in a great atmosphere with fans who are welcoming and who love the game. It’s been good with good vibes all around.” Out of all the statistics Heen has compiled—she is one of only two starters who have more walks than strikeouts—perhaps the most impressive one is this: In three seasons at Hawaii, she has yet to miss a single game. “I try to put in extra work whenever I can,” she said. “In the off-season, it’s all about a lot of reps, working out and keeping the body healthy.” Heen spends her summer in Hollister, working out at Blackjacks and at Rich Aldrete’s facility in Salinas. Under the watchful eye of her dad, Curtis—who just happens to be a terrific coach—Heen works diligently

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www. servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015001559. 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.
