Trustees want to restore civility to board TWO RACES TOO CLOSE TO CALL; ROSSI TOPPLING BORGIOLI FOR COUNTY SEAT Scott Forstner Reporter
Robert Eliason
After a tumultuous stretch for Morgan Hill Unified School District’s governing body, five prospective new trustees—barring any shifts to the Nov. 6 election results with ballots still being counted—say they are eager to return civility to the dais. First-time candidates Vanessa Sutter, Wendy Sullivan, John Horner and Carol Gittens all remained frontrunners in their respective trustee area seats as of Nov. 13, while newcomer Heather Orosco ran unopposed in the fifth seat and did not appear on the ballot. “I think we need to reset the tone of the board and work collaboratively with (all the different groups of ) people in our community,” Sutter said. “We need to put kids first. I think that got lost.” The newest trustees will join Board President Mary Patterson and Vice President Teresa Murillo, who are both halfway through their first four-year terms. The current board’s last meeting

Constantine leads IN TIGHT RACE WITH SELLERS, CONSTANTINE BUILDS LEAD
➝ School Elections, 12 By Jaqueline McCool Reporter
Rich Constantine led early in the race for Morgan Hill mayor on Tuesday, and held on to a 539-vote margin in the election for Morgan Hill mayor more
than a week later, according to incomplete, unofficial returns from the Nov. 6 election. The two-term councilmember and San Jose firefighter would be Morgan Hill’s first elected African-American mayor. Constantine had chosen not to seek re-election to a new district seat and instead ran for mayor, where he appeared headed to victory over two
candidates—former councilmember Greg Sellers and community member Kirk Bertolet—as provisional ballots were counted on Friday, Nov. 9. Despite Sellers’ significant fundraising, Constantine received 6,372 votes, or 46.54 percent of the vote, with all precincts reporting on Tuesday. Provisional ballots had not been counted as of Wednesday morning,
according to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Office. Mayor Steve Tate told the Times in a statement that Constantine “understands the issues and challenges that face us,and he looks forward to providing the leadership necessary to address them. He has my full support and my best wishes for his journey to make Morgan Hill even better.”
Sellers received 5,820 votes, or 42.41 percent, and Bertolet received 1,500 votes, or 10.96 percent, as of the Nov. 9 count. Constantine met with his new constituents on Saturday, Nov. 10, joining outgoing Mayor Steve Tate in his final Coffee with the Mayor at BookSmart. Constantine had received significant endorsements ➝ New Mayor, 8
Two new council members elected DISTRICT D RACE IN RECOUNT TERRITORY By Jaqueline McCool Reporter
In the first election of City Council members from districts in Morgan Hill, with no incumbents running, two fresh faces will be seated on the city council. In District B, Yvonne Martínez-Béltran held a
major lead over two opponents one week after the Nov. 6 election. However, in District D, John McKay held on to an 17-vote lead over Julie Makrai Hutcheson as hundreds of provisional ballot were still uncounted early this week. District B’s neck-inneck tally could trigger an automatic recount. Hutcheson had held an 18-vote lead the day after the election, with 100 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Santa
Clara County Registrar of Voters Office. However, as provisional ballots were counted, McKay slipped ahead by 26 votes. “We are officially within automatic recount territory, but there are still 48 percent of the late mail-in and provisional votes left to be counted,” wrote McKay Nov. 7 on his Facebook page. “I went to sleep about 70 votes down and woke up to 18 down (I like that trend. I think I’ll take a
nap and see where the numbers end up).” Hutcheson was equally stoic, saying, “It’s not done until all votes are counted.” Former City Councilwoman Marilyn Librers trailed, with 1,143 votes as of Tuesday, Nov. 13, more than 400 votes below the other two. Only one of the three will be elected. According to the county registrar’s office, “The following criteria would trigger a taxpayer-funded
recount: (1) those local contests wholly within the county and where the margin of victory between the winning candidate and the next closest candidate was either 0.5 percent of the ballots cast and/or (2) where the margin of victory was 25 votes or less.” Regardless of the outcome, Hutcheson said campaigning and meeting constituents has been ➝ City Council, 11

Morgan Hill’s voters expressed their resounding preference for a hotel tax increase, a cannabis business tax program and an appointive city clerk in the Nov. 6 election. The three local measures are ahead by a landslide, with more than 13,000 total votes cast on each of the questions sponsored by the City of Morgan Hill. With the passage of Measure H, the city’s transient occupancy or hotel tax will increase from its current rate of 10 percent to 11 percent. More than 11,486 voters, or 79.28 percent, voted in favor of the hotel tax increase Nov. 6, according to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. Ballots against Measure H totaled 3,001, or about 20.72 percent. City officials are cautiously optimistic of the current results of Measure H, which won’t become official and certified by the county elections office until Dec. 12. Ten days after the results are certified and if ballot counting concludes with approval of Measure H, the city can then start collecting the bumped-up 11-percent total tax from hotels in the city limits, according to Morgan Hill Economic Development Director Edith Ramirez. The hotel tax is paid by patrons of local lodging facilities. The increase to 11 percent is expected to bring the city an additional $270,000 in annual revenue for the general fund, which pays for basic services like public safety and streets maintenance. The transient occupancy tax increase is just one new revenue source expected to be generated by hotel visits that city officials are excited about. The council has also approved a Tourism Based Improvement District, in which hotel owners will charge guests an additional 1.5 percent on room stays, Ramirez explained. That revenue will go to a

separate fund used solely for the hotels to pay for marketing and promotion of their facilities and Morgan Hill as a tourism destination. The council is expected to consider approving a resolution of intent to enact the TBID at the Nov. 28 meeting. After that will begin a 45-day public hearing and review process, Ramirez said. The program must also be approved by a majority of hotel owners in the city limits, which Ramirez thinks is likely. The TBID will generate about $410,000 per year for the promotion and marketing of Morgan Hill for tourism purposes. The combination of the likely hotel tax increase and TBID implementation represents a spirit of cooperation, Ramirez said. “This is a way the city has managed to move forward separate goals,” Ramirez said. “The (TOT) will bring additional revenue for city…and the TBID is supposed to generate marketing and promotion of the area, which also ultimately generates more revenue for the city. The silver lining is, there has been a lot of work between the hotels and city to find a collaborative path where you are advancing both goals.”
Cannabis tax nets nearly 80 percent approval
Morgan Hill voters in the Nov. 6 election also demonstrated their clear preference for a cannabis business tax in the city, should a future city council decide to allow such business here. About 11,295 voters cast ballots in favor of Measure I, which would establish a business tax for the commercial cannabis industry. Voting against the cannabis tax measure were 2,957 voters, or about 20.75 percent of the votes cast in the Nov. 6 election, according to the registrar’s unofficial results. The ballot measure language states that annual cannabis tax rates in Morgan Hill would be no more than $15 per canopy square foot for licensed cultivation operations and up to 10 percent of gross receipts for all other cannabis business in the city limits. The tax would generate between
$340,000 and $750,000 annually for the city’s general fund. Mayor Steve Tate—who will retire at the end of this year, making way for mayor-elect Rich Constantine—said it will be up to a future city council to decide if Morgan Hill should allow commercial cannabis business. “Our intent was to put a tax on the ballot to see if the population was willing to tax marijuana, and they overwhelmingly said yes they were,” Tate said. “Now the council will have to see if they want to implement anything that gets taxed.” Current council members have expressed a range of tolerance for potential marijuana business in Morgan Hill in previous public discussions. Tate has been one of the most vocal local officials against the permitting of marijuana business in Morgan Hill, but other council members have expressed more openness to the industry.
Council can appoint next city clerk
Morgan Hill voters also showed their support for an appointive city clerk, as Measure J has so far gained well over 60 percent support in the Nov. 6 ballot counting. As of Nov. 13, 8,359 or 62.04 percent of voters voted yes to Measure J. Voting no were 5,115 electors. The local city clerk position, currently occupied by Irma Torrez, has been elected since Morgan Hill’s founding. With the approval of Measure J, the position will be appointed by the city council. Torrez is currently about halfway through her sixth four-year term as city clerk. She has served in the position for 22 years. Torrez told the Times she plans to complete her current term. At the end of Torrez’ current term in 2020, the elected city council will have the option to appoint her replacement under the terms of Measure J. Tate said of the unofficial results of all three citysponsored local measures, “We appreciate everybody voting the way we asked them to. It was an affirmation that we’re kind of on the right track.”

Morgan Hill celebrates Diwali Nov. 17
Democracy takes a bow
T
here were cheers last week about the record or nearrecord turnout levels in the midterm elections in California, and across the U.S. While the numbers were relatively high—approaching 60 percent in some California counties— they were properly qualified by adjectives such as “midterm,” “off-year” and “non-presidential year.” Another qualifier included reports of the upsurge in numbers of registered voters in California because of “motor-voter” and same-day registration initiatives. More than 78 percent of eligible adults were registered to vote in California this year, the highest such percentage heading into a gubernatorial election in the past 64 years. Those who praised this year’s voter turnout as significant also pointed out the fact that the results of all of California’s statewide partisan races (this excludes the superintendent of instruction) had been hohum foregone conclusions. These qualifiers tended to inflate the importance of the 50-percent turnout levels— which were even lower if you look at a turnout percentage of all qualified/eligible voters, not just the citizens who were registered. There are unfortunate realities of voting in non-presidential years, both here and nationally: Turnout percentages approaching 80 percent in “presidential years” drop to to 50 percent, like this year. Despite early voting and vote-by-mail opportunities, fewer than half of eligible U.S. adults this fall again failed to take their responsibility as citizens seriously enough to vote. The World’s Greatest Democracy continues to stumble along with elected leaders at all levels—from water boards to Congress and everything in between—who are getting their dubious mandates from a minority of adult citizens. This rule by the minority makes the winners’ inflated sense of entitlement seem unfounded. That doesn’t mean our halfhearted system is without its leaders. Sometimes out of the pool of election victors, extraordinary, gifted and dedicated public servants bubble
up, against all odds. For that we are grateful. However, as long as a majority of adults chooses for whatever reason to opt out of the electoral process, we will all too often get the petty, parochial and myopic leaders we deserve. This year’s victors should be humbled by the fact that they were elected by a minority of the citizens they serve. Let’s hope that these upward trends in voter interest this year continue to grow in the years ahead. The are other trends in the California electorate that are dramatically changing the nature of political campaigns. It appears as if the so-called millenials— the under-30 crowd—are waking up, voting in greater numbers. Early voting, in person and by mail, meant nearly 80 percent of votes were cast before Election Day. The candidates and many of the winners are increasingly representing our diverse communities, with more women and more minorities seeking and winning public offices. For the first time, the number of California voters registered with no party preference has surpassed those registered with the Republican Party by wide margins in most counties. Voters registered with the Democratic Party remain the largest group. Voters will support some taxes and some bonds, if they fund popular projects. The campaign to repeal the state’s gas tax failed, and bonds were approved for housing and children’s hospitals. Locally, the Gavilan Community College bond, the Morgan Hill cannabis business tax and the San Benito transportation sales tax increase were winning heading into this week’s provisional ballot count. The move to elect local government representatives by district is gaining steam in the state, but in some instances the politicians and voters haven’t caught on. In Morgan Hill, for example, there was little discussion of neighborhood issues by candidates or among voters at forums; citywide issues topped everyone’s agendas. It remains to be seen whether this kind of representation really makes sense for smaller cities.

It’s that time of the year again—the Indian Association of South County’s annual Diwali mega event is here! IASC is a nonprofit organization and an initiative of the Indian community living in south Santa Clara County. The organization’s mission is to encourage, promote and strengthen community spirit, while at the same time celebrate, share and showcase India’s rich heritage, culture and traditions. Over the last several years, IASC has been organizing events celebrating some of the most popular annual Indian festivals (like Holi and Diwali) and landmark historical events (like the Indian and US Independence Days). This year’s event celebrating the festival of Diwali is scheduled to be held from 4:30pm to 10:30pm Nov. 17, at Oakwood School in Morgan Hill (105 John Wilson Way). About 500 attendees—including guests from across the Indian and many other communities in Santa Clara County as well as distinguished city officials from Morgan Hill and Gilroy—are expected to attend the event.
In all interpretations (of Diwali) one common thread rings true: the festival marks the victory of good over evil, and of inner light over spiritual darkness. It may be fair to say that Diwali, or “Deepawali,” is India's biggest festival. It gets its name from the row (“avali”) of clay lamps (“deep”) that Indians light outside their homes on this auspicious day, and hence is also known as the Festival of Lights. Diwali is celebrated by most Indians, regardless of their faith and/or religious inclination, though different regions of India interpret the reason for the celebration differently. However, in all interpretations one common thread rings true: the festival marks the victory of good over evil, and of inner light over spiritual darkness. IASC’s Diwali event includes dances and cultural performances showcasing the rich and diverse Indian culture and traditions, a sumptuous spread of Indian cuisine and open-to-all dancing to hit Bollywood music. The cultural show participants range from little children through adults and seniors. IASC encourages and welcomes everyone to join in and enjoy the celebration! Poonam Chabra and Manjeet Singh are members of the executive committee of the Indian Association of South County. To purchase tickets for the Diwali celebration in Morgan Hill, and for more information about IASC, visit iascinfo.com.

Morgan Hill recognizes Veterans Day Nov. 11 Crowds gathered for Veterans Day in downtown Morgan Hill on Sunday, Nov. 11 to pay tribute to American servicemen and servicewomen. The national holiday was observed with a public ceremony at the Veterans Memorial in the median of Monterey Road and First Street. The ceremony included a flag raising, the reading of names of locals who died in combat, the playing of Taps, and patriotic songs sung by local students.

Following the ceremony, the town held its fourth annual Morgan Hill Veterans Run 5K and 10K. Proceeds from the run went to local veterans organizations.
New mayor to be sworn in next month According to his campaign, Constantine’s 10-point plan for the city is to advocate for affordable housing, ensure sensible growth, improve traffic, preserve and creating city parks, address homelessness, fix city streets, improve local internet speed and access, promote a sustainable community, keep schools safe and fully funded and require government accountability and transparency. “The things I talked about during the campaign are definitely the things I’m going to be focusing on,” Constantine said of his plans as mayor.
Constantine has served as a Morgan Hill city council member for seven years. The city’s mayor serves a twoyear term. Constantine told The Times his main goal is mayor is to “make the citizens lives better, something I’ve always strived to do as a council member.” Constantine’s election marks the first time in a decade that the city has a new mayor. Tate announced before the 2018 campaign season that he would be retiring after this year, which |concludes his fifth consecutive term as Morgan Hill’s mayor.

Sellers had received endorsements from Tate and District D Councilwoman Caitlin Jachimowicz. When announcing his campaign for mayor, Constantine said he would retire as a firefighter with the San Jose Fire Department, a job he has held for 24 years. He said, “Today I turn my attention full-time toward the work ahead right here in Morgan Hill. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get down to it.”

PROTECTING NEIGHBORHOODS FROM THE THREAT OF WILDFIRES
With new wildfires threatening our local communities, PG&E is partnering with our customers in high fire-threat areas to accelerate and expand our vegetation management work. We will be examining and addressing critical vegetation across 7,100 miles of power lines.
In order to keep our neighborhoods safe, PG&E may need to trim or remove vegetation on or near properties in high firethreat areas. PG&E’s action plan includes the following steps: ■ Step 1: Our safety inspectors will be in your neighborhood to determine what vegetation may need to be trimmed or removed. ■ Step 2: If needed, we will mark trees that need to be addressed and contact you to discuss the results of the safety inspection. ■ Step 3: We will perform safety work shortly after the inspection. ■ Step 4: We will plan to begin wood debris removal within a few weeks after completion of the safety work (unless you would like to keep it).
KEEPING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE
You can help keep your family and neighbors safe by maintaining defensible space around your home and property. We recommend you regularly trim bushes and trees, remove any dry or dead vegetation and be sure to leave space between trees and plants.
Now, and in the years ahead, we must all work together to be better prepared for wildfires.
To learn if you live in a high fire-threat area and what you can do to keep your community safe, please visit pge.com/wildfiresafety.

The 2018 wildfire season is already one of the worst on record — with more than 1.5 million acres burned and more than 1,000 homes lost. And it’s not over yet. With the wildfire risk increasing at an alarming pace, the 2018 wildfire activity is on track to exceed the 2017 wildfire season, which was the most destructive on record.

FLEET FOOTED Kate Marcotullio looks to make the CIF State Championships for the second straight year on Saturday. The Oakwood sophomore initially tried out for the team as a freshman to keep in shape for her lifelong sport, soccer. She’s exceeded her expectations and then some.
CROSS COUNTRY
Oakwood on a good run HAWKS’ BOYS AND GIRLS TO RACE IN CCS FINALS ON SATURDAY emanuel lee Sports Editor
Submitted
Kate Marcotullio decided to run cross country last year as a freshman to stay in shape for soccer, the sport she has played since she was 5 or 6 years old. Her expectations were rather muted, as the Oakwood sophomore had never—and still doesn’t— think of herself as a pure runner. What transpired has been nothing short of a revelation for the sophomore standout. “When I won my first race last year, I was pretty shocked,” she said. “Then I won league and went to state. I didn’t think I could do that well.” Marcotullio enters Saturday’s Central Coast Section Cross Country Championships at the Crystal Springs Course in Belmont with a legitimate chance for a top 5 finish and advance to the CIF State Championships for the second year in a row. A two-time league champion, Marcotullio has led the Oakwood girls to a spot in the section finals. Senior Jeb Goldman has done likewise leading the boys to a spot in the CCS Championships. In the Pacific Coast League Santa Lucia Division Finals two weeks ago, Marcotullio won the race in a personal-record (PR) 20 minutes, 19 seconds, outkicking runner-up Nellie Rubio-Pintor of Ceiba by two seconds. Maryam Moghaddami was Oakwood’s No. 2 scoring
runner in 25:07, followed by Cassie King, Mara Roldan, Cerys Holter and Anna Prunicki. The boys runners that followed Goldman—who finished in sixth place in 18:21—included Peter Wen (19:03), Ellis Richardson (19:25), Andrew Cheng (19:30), A.J. Gastelum (20:44), Josh Lowe (21:37), and Robert Walker (22:11). Sammie Frazer has also ran well for the girls. Karen Arnold, who is in her seventh season as the Oakwood coach, had 28 kids in the entire program this year, the most she’s ever had. Arnold credits assistant coach Eli Drabman for being integral to the program. The girls team continues to grow and has accomplished a lot in just its third year fielding a squad. It’s no coincidence that the Hawks have soared this season, with Arnold pointing to Marcotullio and Goldman as being steady runners who lead by example. Arnold raved about Marcotullio’s ability, work ethic and intangibles. “Kate is an athlete, understands her body and is adept at doing athletic things,” Arnold said. “She has a natural ability and affinity for running, has a lovely gait and stride and is smart about racing. She’s dedicated to getting better and is extremely coachable, so she takes advice to heart and uses it to improve. She truly thinks about her racing and workouts to get to where she wants to be, and is a real asset to the team. in a positive way, she helps the rest of the girls and boys on the team to achieve at a high level.” Marcotullio said the rescheduling of the event—it originally was supposed to take place last Saturday but was postponed twice due to the Northern California wildfires—has given her added time to hone her race strategy.
PUSHING IT Oakwood senior Jeb Goldman, seen here running at Toro Park earlier in the season, finished sixth in
the PCAL Santa Lucia Division Championships. The Hawks also qualified for Saturday’s CCS Finals.
“With the team we did a little overview of the course and looked at where the hills are going to be and where I need to push it a little more,” she said. “The course finishes a bit on an uphill so I know I have to sprint that uphill. I’ve been able to think about how my race is going to go and think through a little more. Whereas before I was a little stressed out, now I feel more prepared.” Marcotullio has fond memories from last year’s CCS Championships, when she finished in 10th place in the Division V race to qualify for the state meet. Marcotullio has dropped
her times since then, and a top three finish in Saturday’s race isn’t out of the question. Marcotullio chalks up her improvement to training year-round, as last year was her first season of cross country. “With (club) soccer and running all summer, I’ve basically been training all year,” she said. The year-round training helped Marcotullio enter this season stronger than ever, and the results showed. At the PCAL Santa Lucia Division Finals, Marcotullio outkicked the secondplace finisher in the final 100 meters to take the championship. Marcotullio grew up with two
older brothers, Christopher and Matthew, the latter a senior at Oakwood. Marcotullio looked up to her brothers, who both did soccer and cross country. “I was always really competitive and always wanted to keep up with them and be just as good as they were,” she said. Marcotullio repeats a mantra whenever things get tough in training or in a race. Whenever Marcotullio scales a hill, she tells herself that it doesn’t hurt. “And then it doesn’t hurt as much,” she said. “I tell myself the sooner I finish, the sooner it will be over and I won’t hurt as bad. It encourages me to go faster.”

The Live Oak-SHC game was originally scheduled for last Friday before being rescheduled to Saturday and then Monday. Now it’s been rescheduled again, but there is no guarantee the game will be played due to the unpredictable nature of the fires. This is the third straight year in which fires have affected the high school football season. Two years ago, the Loma Fire in the Santa Cruz mountains forced Live Oak to eventually cancel its Homecoming Game and last year the Santa Rosa fires pushed the playoff schedule back a week. However, this year is an entirely different experience. The Acorns had just finished their pre-game walk-through and were inside the locker room when they were told the game had been rescheduled yet again. “We just have to stay ready and prepared,” standout running back Nick Lomanto said. “If

It was 4 p.m. Monday when Mike Gemo was cleaning up the field and locking up the gate to the football field. Instead of preparing to coach the Live Oak High football team to its opening-round game in the Central Coast Section Open Division III playoffs, Gemo was talking with a reporter about the rescheduling of a game for the third time in as many days. Due to poor air quality from the Northern California wildfires that began on Nov. 8, Central Coast Section officials postponed the Live Oak-Sacred Cathedral game for a third time and rescheduled it to be played on Friday at 7 p.m.
“It’s hard keeping the kids focused,” Gemo said. “They get fired up, then it gets cancelled. They get fired up, then it gets cancelled. But you know it’s not like we’re the only ones in this boat. It is what it is.” According to Gemo, the CCS goes by the air. gov index to determine whether an athletic contest will be played or not. According to the website, a reading higher than 150 states this: “Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.” As of 2:15 p.m. Monday, the game was set to go on as scheduled, with the air index number hovering in the high 120s, Gemo said. “But at 3:15, it was 153 and that’s when CCS made the call,” Gemo said. “I feel bad for Sacred Heart. They were probably a halfhour away from us and had to turn around and go back to San Francisco.”

anything, this gives us more time to prepare for this game. We’ve been putting in a lot of new plays and tricks, and now it’s just mentally preparing for this game and ignoring all the commotion.”
Said Gemo: “I’ve coached a lot of years and have never experienced anything like this before. But it’s understandable. CCS wants to make sure the kids are playing when the air quality

Pediatric hospitalists will also be on hand to provide onsite consultative services to attending medical staff and ER physicians and to help stabilize patients in emergency situations. Good Samaritan Hospital’s neonatology group has, for many years, been assisting HHMH with the stabilization and transport of high-risk newborns, and supported physicians with telephone consultations. “We have a long-standing relationship with Hazel Hawkins, built over the last 10 to 15 years, and this is the next step,” said Dr. Richard Powers, MEDNAX affiliated neonatologist and Chief of Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. HHMH pursued a partnership with Pediatrix due to the need for full-time pediatric support at the hospital. Currently most pediatricians in Hollister have established office-based practices and cannot staff the hospital. “Pediatrix has a history and national reputation for providing excellent care to newborns and children,” said Ken Underwood, HHMH CEO. “This partnership will bring experience and vital support to our top-tier Women’s Center and ER, and to children admitted to Hazel Hawkins Hospital”

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-18833215-BF. 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.

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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services.
