Frighteningly Fun Halloween Ideas Scare up some good times
Halloween is right around the corner, so it is time to carve out a spooky plan for your celebration. As little ghosts, goblins, princesses, and pirates around the country get ready for trick-or-treating, here are a few ghoulishly good ideas that will make your next Halloween fright night a scream. Spooky candy treats. Add a few spook-tacular accents to your loot for trick-or-treaters: fake rubbery spiders, jiggly eyes, glow-in-the-dark rings, and other tricks that make Halloween special. Make everyone jump for joy by giving them bags of the Wonka Haunted Mix. This assortment of Howlin’ Laffy Taffy and SweeTARTS Spooky Gummies is sweet, sour and in fun Halloween shapes. Cast a spell over your home. Welcome trickor-treaters or partygoers young and old with decorating ideas that will make your house the best on the block. Hang glow-in-the-dark cats, skeletons and spiders from ceilings and trees. Write scary Halloween messages on your front walkway using colored chalk or washable fluorescent paint. Tie small glow sticks with string to helium balloons and let them float over your house like mysterious lights in the sky. Not just the trick-or-treaters are looking for candy on Halloween, so be sure to have plenty of fun-size candy like Butterfinger and Nestlé Crunch around the house for easy snacking. Start booing. Start a new neighborhood trend – Halloween Booing. Booing is a new Halloween
tradition, but its roots can be traced back to the 1980s. Booing is mysteriously dropping a special treat at the home of a friend. Kids of all ages will love leaving secret “Boo!” bags filled with goodies like fun-size boxes of cool candy like Wonka Nerds on their neighbors’ doorsteps. Then watch as eventually the whole neighborhood gets into the Halloween spirit. Celebrate with sweets and treats. The candy aisle is not your only option for serving up decadent delights this holiday. Whip up this ghoulish graveyard goody for the kids (or the kids at heart) in your house. Spooky Graveyard Pie Makes 8 servings 3 cups (about 32 cookies) finely ground choco late sandwich cookie crumbs, divided 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 can (12 fl. oz.) Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Milk 2 large egg yolks 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) Nestlé Toll House Milk Chocolate Morsels 8 chocolate filled vanilla wafer cookies Black and purple decorator writing gels Wonka SweeTARTS Spooky Gummies Candy*, Wonka SweeTARTS Skulls & Bones, or other assorted spooky Halloween candies Nestlé Butterfinger and Nestlé Crunch candy bars, crumbled COMBINE 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs and butter in 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Press crumb mixture
onto bottom and upsides of pie plate. Set aside remaining 1 1/2 cups crumbs for dirt topping. WHISK together evaporated milk, egg yolks and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot and thickens slightly; do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in morsels until completely melted and mixture is smooth. POUR into crust. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs. Press crumbs down gently. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. DECORATE cookie tombstones as desired with writing gels. Sprinkle crumbled candy bar topping over the top of the pie. Insert tombstones around edge of pie. With spoon, mound cookie crumbs to form “fresh graves.” Decorate graves with gummies and Skulls & Bones to make the pie as spooky as you want it to be!

Halloween: History, Lore, and Legend Historical Documents Align with the Reality of Many Halloween-related Creatures Among the World By Jessica Mousseau It’s about that time to dust off that old broomstick and get ready for new haunting flights this Halloween season. The spooky fun times of haunts and ghouls are approaching quickly. Halloween, a near 2,000-year-old holiday continues to gain popularity. According to the 2005 National Retail Federation survey, nearly $3.29 billion was spent on Halloween-related merchandise, a rise of 5.4% from 2004. “With more young adults getting in the spirit by throwing parties and having elaborate pumpkin carving contests, Halloween is no longer considered a children’s holiday,” said Phil Rist, Vice President of Strategy for BIGresearch. “Halloween gives both kids and the young-at-heart an excuse to put on their scariest costume and indulge in their favorite treats.”
ORIGINS OF THE HOLIDAY
Halloween traditions began in modern United Kingdom, northern France and Ireland. These countries celebrated their new calendar year on November 1, a day that concluded the summer harvest period and began the dark wintertime that was directly associated with death. The Celts believed that on the night before the New Year, known as Samhain or the “Lord of Death,” that the separation between the living world and the dead one wasn’t apparent to the ghosts of the dead. Throughout Samhain, these ghosts would return to the Earth. They would cause trouble and damage the harvest crops of the past season if food was not provided to them. With their presence, the Celtic priests could effectively make prophecies that were vital to the townspeople’s comfort toward the dark winter ahead. Generally, the tradition of costume wearing began at this time when many people feared the return of these ghosts. They then wore costumes, usually of animal heads or skins, or dressed in others disguises and masks to attempt to look like the dead themselves. This would help put them out of harm’s way.
MODERN TRADITIONS
After the Romans’ conquered the area, they combined their own traditions of Feralia, a late October day that commemorated the passing of the dead with the Celts’ existing tradition of Samhain. Another Roman tradition was Pomona, the Roman goddess of the trees and fruit. The Page 4
symbol for Pomona was an apple, thus the tradition of bobbing for apples began with the Romans. As the spread of Christianity enveloped the land, November 1 was named All Saints’ Day, a day to honor saints and martyrs, by the Catholic Church. Many believe that the Catholic pope was attempting to replace the evil within this holiday. Later, the church created All Souls’ Day on November 2, in which the dead were honored. The trick or treating tradition began with the All Souls’ Day parades in England where beggars would ask for food and they would receive soul cakes for a promise to pray for that family’s dead relatives. At the beginning of the 20th century, Halloween festivities began with communities urging parents to take the fright out of the celebrations. Because of this, Halloween lost much of its nostalgia. The tradition continued as an affordable way to celebrate the holiday among a community. It was believed that if people offered treats, they could avoid any Halloween-related tricks on their property. In the 1950’s, communities began to make the holiday a more youth-oriented experience.
The inscription held true with many unfortunate occurrences happening because of this finding. Carter’s financial backer, Lord Carnarvon, died suddenly a few months later from an insect bite. When he died, all the lights in Cairo went out. At the same time, Carter’s dog in England howled and dropped dead shortly after. Tut’s body was unwrapped in 1925 and a wound on his face was directly aligned with the one that Carnarvon had because of his insect bite. By 1929, nearly 11 people connected with the discovery of this tomb had died early of unnatural causes. It was later discovered in 1999 by a German microbiologist that deadly mold spores grew on mummies and could be lethal enough to kill a person. Thus, archaeologists could easily die SPOOKS, MONSTERS, GHOULS as a result of a mummy.

cliché descriptions alerted many practicing Wiccans and the growing rise of Paganism or Wicca rose over the last dozen years within the U.S. The religion remains the fastest growing in recent years. The question “do witches exist?” remains unanswered. However, the reality of the practice is that most do not worship Satan and do not wish to claim evil. However, it is up to you to decide on the motives of these pointy hat spell casters.
VAMPIRES
The persona of a modern day bloodsucking creature of the night or a vampire comes primarily from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula or the Romanian word for devil. The story describes the real life of a Transylvanian prince, Vlad Dracula, in Romania. The prince was not a vampire however; he was used to illustrate this character because of his style of dealing with those who oppose him. Vlad Dracula would terrorize his enemies and stories of these experiences circulated throughout Europe. He was assassinated in the late 1470’s. However, the legend of the vampire creature began far before Bram Stoker’s story. Stories of vampire-like beings throughout Prussia and Hungary in the 1700s created a chain of disease and ignorance among the people. The continual use of the vampire throughout the media has continued with movies such as Blade and the popular novels of Anne Rice. The reality of the situation isn’t known. With every story, there are believers and non-believers. However, with the various stories surrounding the topic, it’s hard not to believe that at least one vampire has existed in the world.

Create Halloween Memories That Will Last a Lifetime Vampires, werewolves and monsters - oh my! No, it’s not the latest Hollywood blockbuster. It’s Halloween. As little ghouls and goblins prepare to emerge into the night to claim their bounty of treats, it’s important to think about ways to help kids enjoy this special evening and create memories that will last for years to come. And, though candy is certainly the treat du jour during Halloween, why not share a spooky and sweet treat with the special kids in your life that will last a lifetime - and won’t rot their little teeth? This Halloween, parents, grandparents and their little ghosts and goblins can participate in a new Halloween activity that can be re-lived every day of the year - reading and recording their voices in Hallmark’s new Recordable Storybook “We’re Not Scared of Anything.” “Research has shown that adults are looking for more ways to spend quality time with the kids in their lives” said Jonathan Bowyer, retail product manager for Hallmark. “Holidays, such as Halloween, are perfect opportunities for families to get together, and Hallmark Recordable Storybooks can help create holiday memories that last forever.” Hallmark Recordable Storybooks feature an exclusive voice capture technology that records the reader’s voice, which is then captured within the pages of book. When a page is turned, the Recordable Storyboo k automatically plays the text on that page in the reader’s voice. The recording lasts for the life of the Recordable Storybook, and children who “read” the books can listen to their mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend read to them - anytime and anywhere. Most titles in the Recordable
Storybook line make great gifts to kids from grown-ups who cannot be present for story time (due to distance or other circumstances). But “We’re Not Scared of Anything,” one of Hallmark’s newest Recordable Storybooks, is intended for two readers - one adult and one child - to read and record together. Though Halloween’s thrills and chills are all in good fun, kids may still be a little scared of things that go bump in the night once the costumes are put away and the candy is all gone. “We’re Not Scared of Anything” is designed to help address and calm these fears by putting the child in the shoes of a pint-sized monster. In the story, Little Monster, whose part is recorded by a child, finds plenty to be scared of as bedtime approaches. A “monster” under the bed and spooky things that creep make Little Monster too scared to sleep. Luckily, Big Monster, whose part is recorded by an adult, is there to reassure Little Monster that the scary things really aren’t so scary after all. Try recording this story together for a unique bonding experience that
will encourage a special child in your life and ease his or her nighttime fears in a fun and playful way. This unique reading experience, perfect for Halloween, can leave kids with a safety blanket of your voice. “We’re Not Scared of Anything” also makes a great Halloween gift alternative for health-conscious parents who want to avoid a trick-or-treating sugar overload, but still give their children something to enjoy. In addition to this spooky delight, eleven other Hallmark Recordable Storybook titles currently are available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide. The collection features classics nursery rhymes, such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star;” heartwarming original stories, like “All The Ways I Love You;” and, holiday titles, including “Frosty the Snowman” and “The Night Before Christmas.” For more information about Hallmark’s “We’re Not Scared of Anything” Recordable Storybook and other titles in the collection, visit http://www.hallmark.com/recordablestorybooks/

local Dentist Dr. micHael tessier offers comPlimentary seconD oPinion on Dental Diagnoses Two ladies came in last week. Their stories were similar. Both were new to the area, each went to a new dentist, each was told that she needed a Dr. Michael Tessier relatively large amount of dental work (one of the ladies said the estimate was $10,000), even though they each had been going to their dentist regularly for years. So, totally independently, they came in to see me to get their teeth cleaned and for a thorough comprehensive examination and second opinion. We did a full set of x-rays on each, checked gum health, took photographs, and checked for cancer. They were both in great shape, dentally, and just needed a maintenance visit. It does happen that patients come in needing a very expensive treatment plan to get their mouths back to a healthy state. Maybe times were tough and money was scarce, or they couldn’t get time off from work, or they didn’t have dental insurance (more on that in a moment), or they didn’t have a dentist they could trust. I did have a lady bring her children in once who’d taken them to see the dentist within the six months before moving here. Each of the children had pretty significant decay- eight and twelve
cavities each , several of which I could see without even putting a mirror in their mouth. Mom was understandably upset with what I told her and took the children to another dentist, who confirmed my diagnosis. She brought them back, and we got everything squared away to mom’s satisfaction. The point is, if something doesn’t sound right, or you don’t understand it, please get a second opinion. We see patients with questions all the time, those consultations are complimentary, and we’re glad to help out. Now, a word on dental insurance. Not all dental insurance coverage is good, coverage isn’t all the same, some companies aren’t easy to work with, and some people just don’t need dental insurance. They might end up paying more in “co-pay” and premium than they would if they just got done what needed to be done when needed. And, we offer “Care Credit”, which is effectively a credit card for dental work (doesn’t work at Nordstrom’s) that allows you to pay off a charge for dental work over twelve months without interest. So, if you or someone you know has a question about their dental needs, or would benefit from a complimentary consultation appointment, please don’t hesitate to call my office. The number is 949-459-7212, and the office is located at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways, down the walk from Starbucks and the car wash at 28562 Oso Parkway.

Halloween Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips Kids look forward to Halloween for many reasons. They like the dressing up in costumes but the mostly they like it for the candy and treats! Who wouldn’t? Even some adults still like to go our trick or treating. It makes them feel young and happy again. While this section sticks mainly to guidelines for kids, they are just as useful for adults. Some parents like to take first dibs on some of the candy that the kids have picked up during the night. It’s their reward for taking them around from house to house! We suggest that you watch the candy intake when you all get home, too much at one time can lead to stomach aches and indigestion. That includes mom and dad as well! Make your child’s Halloween a memorable holiday and they’ll have good memories that last a lifetime! If you are taking your kids out for the night, dress up as well. Mom and dad should get into Halloween as much as the kids do! Trick or Treating should be one of the great adventures of Halloween for kids! They can get dressed in scary costumes and go door to door, begging “Tricks or Treats!” from neighbors or at the local mall. Lots
of small towns have a Halloween Safe Night at the community center or school so kids can Trickor-Treat safely but going door to door is the stuff of childhood memories! It should be a fun time, without trouble and pain, so following some easy tips can keep your child safe every Halloween. Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things. Plan a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves. Make sure that they have a cell phone. Let your children know not to cut through back alleys and fields if they are out alone. Make sure they know to stay in populated areas and not to go off the beaten track. Let them
know to stay in well lighted areas with lots of people around. Explain to them why it can be dangerous for kids not to do this. If they are going out alone, they are old enough to know what can happen to them in a bad situation and how to stop it from happening. Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. This way you can check for any problem candy and get the pick of the best stuff!
Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Explain why this is not a god idea and what to do if someone approaches them and tries to talk to them. Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. Let them know that they should stay together as a group if going out to Trick or Treat without an adult.

SEACOUNTRY H OMES IS PAINTING T H E COW P IN K FOR B REAST CANCER RESEARC H AN D RECO V ERY SeaCountry Homes launched a unique promotion, “Paint the Cow Pink” to raise awareness and much needed funds for breast cancer research and recovery on October 10, 2014. The campaign is social media driven in that visitors touring the new model homes located in Rancho Mission Viejo’s newest village of Sendero take a “selfie” photo with SeaCountry’s iconic Sammy, a horned female cow in patriotic regalia that proudly greets her visitors with the “Star Spangled Banner” upon their arrival. For every “selfie” or “like” that SeaCountry receives on their Facebook or Instagram page, SeaCountry will donate $1.00 toward breast cancer research and recovery. The inspiration behind using social media to raise money for breast cancer came from Crosby Bennett, SeaCountry Home’s operations manager and son of owner, Buck Bennett. Life for Crosby and the Bennett family took a detoured path when Kay Bennett, the matriarch of the family was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It was a time when the family united in prayer and support for mom, and we all witnessed the grace, strength and courage she embodied physically, mentally and spiritually,” said Crosby as he reflected on his mother’s challenging journey that brought her to remission earlier this year. He continued, “It just made sense to adorn Sammy in pink flowers to capture people’s attention and encourage them to show their support in finding a cure with a simple act of taking a photo. So far, she is
Page 8
doing a great job!” While many are not able to visit Sammy in person, she is gaining social recognition with over 1,000 “likes” on SeaCountry’s Facebook page in the first ten days of the promotion’s launch. “We’re thrilled to have this kind of response and we are looking forward to making the donation on behalf of every participating friend through SeaCountry’s social media!” commented Crosby when asked if there’s a limit on how much will be donated after the October social media campaign. While “Painting the Cow Pink” may not sell houses, it certainly champions their mission to bring families and friends together and be stronger once united. After all, that’s what building community is all about, and SeaCountry Homes prides itself on doing it well. SeaCountry at Sendero is a neighborhood within the first village of Sendero in Rancho Mission Viejo, a master-planned community that offers an abundance of recreational opportunities and a naturally active lifestyle in an old Southern California setting. Located at the crossroads of the historical Ortega Highway Route 74 and the modern Antonio Parkway, the Model Home Tour and SeaCountry Sales Office are open daily 10am to 5pm and are located at 10 Rollizo, Rancho Mission Viejo. You can learn more on our website at www.SeaCountryRMV.com or speaking with a sales counselor at 949-274-8632.

Be Great Gala & Auction for BGCSA Raises over $200k Photos by: Fotograafe Photo Celebrating 60 years of making great futures, approximately 320 Orange County philanthropists joined the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana (BGCSA) for its 21st Annual Be Great Gala at the Newport Beach Marriott. The event raised more than $200,000 to benefit BGCSA’s academic, physical fitness and life skills programs for at-risk youth in Santa Ana. Funds raised included $35,000 specifically for the nonprofit’s Sponsor a Youth program during a live auction. Complete with a cocktail lounge and ice martini bar that featured a monogrammed ice sculpture, gala guests enjoyed the fun-filled, elegant evening while being captivated by Orange County School of the Arts’ smooth jazz and Spanish guitar performances. During the gala, the MacPherson family received the DreamMaker Award, which is given to those who have made a positive difference in the Club’s community. The family honors their late father’s philanthropy, Joe MacPherson and the Million Dollar Drive, including by initially kick starting the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana’s Expansion Campaign launch, through successfully giving (and raising) $1M. They were integral in the renovation and re-opening of the Main Club, the new Joe MacPherson Center for Opportunity, and opening of the new Garage Teen Center, among other giving, support and time dedicated to the Club over many years. Corona del Mar and Santa Ana resident James MacPherson and Tustin resident Anne MacPherson West accepted the DreamMaker Award on the family’s behalf. “We are deeply grateful to the community for supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana over the last 60 years, and are thrilled to celebrate this milestone by raising over $200,000 at our 21st Be Great Gala,” said Robert Santana, BGCSA CEO. “We are especially excited to have honored and thanked the MacPherson family for their outstanding contributions in helping the Club to promote positive and healthy development in a safe environment that builds skills, civility and self-confidence for at-risk youth. Their DreamMaker Award is beyond well deserved.” Among the supporters for the evening’s event were board members Richard Porras, Shannon Tucker, Marla Noel and Wayne Pinnell, as well as community supporters John Hurlbut, Sarah Middleton, Dennis Kuhl and members of the Santa Ana City Council. Live and silent auctions were held, with prizes to include a six-day ‘Safari Package’ for two at the Zulu Nyala Game reserve in Africa (a $4,950 value), a ‘Hawaiian Family Vacation’ including a seven-night stay on Maui at an ocean view condo at the Aston Kaanapali Shores Resort, four field MVP-level tickets to ten Angels’ regular season games (a $3,100 value), and more. The Be Great Gala was made possible by generous sponsors, including; (diamond sponsors) the MacPherson Family, Haskell & White, LLP, Opus Bank, and Taco Bell; (gold sponsors) Waste Management, Santa Ana Auto Mall, and Guaranty Chevrolet; and (silver sponsors) PIMCO, Mike and Charlene Immell, Dave and Judy Threshie, Travis and Candice Whitten, Shannon and Frank Tucker, McLean Motors Co., Corrinne Moloo, CHOC, Snell & Wilmer, AT&T, SAUSD, Fairhaven Memorial, City of Santa Ana, Angels Baseball, Voit and SA Recycling. BGCSA has served over 70,000 Santa Ana youth, ages 6-18, for 60 years. Its mission is to promote the positive and healthy development of youth, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, by providing services that build the skills, civility and self-confidence necessary to succeed in a competitive world.

25 Great Halloween Decorating Ideas for Ghoulish Fun Spook Your Guests and Get in the Halloween Spirit
Halloween is a time to get creative. It is a time to have fun and make people smile and laugh with spooky and silly decorations remembered for years to come. Here are 25 ideas to get in the Halloween spirit and have a Spooktacular time. 1. Serve spiced cider in a big plastic pumpkin using a ladle and serving into big orange plastic cups. 2. Make carrot juice for a healthy Halloween treat showing your orange colors. Use black licorice as swizzle sticks. 3. Set up flower vases with no flowers, but just dead twigs and branches you have spray painted black or painted in glow in the dark colors. 4. Hang gummy worms from your ceiling. 5. Buy a can of spider web spray from your local party store and create an elaborate spooky web on your ceiling or in one corner of your house where trick or treaters can view it when you open your door. 6. Build a life size stuffed scarecrow by stuffing jeans and a flannel shirt. Use pantyhose stuffed with polyfill (used to stuff pillows), so the head looks life like and poke in jewelry and safety pins that resemble scary body piercings. Decorate the face with paint.
7. Decorate those unwanted CD’s, or buy a cheap spindle of CD roms and glue candy corn to them and attach to fishing line or black ribbon and hang as porch decorations. 8. Paint your nails black with nail polish and make costume jewelry out of glow sticks or black licorice. 9. Make some MP3’s of scary sounds and screams and evil laughter and play the soundtrack to people you know can handle a joke. 10. Make a Halloween wreath by pinning black and orange candy into a Styrofoam wreath form. Hang it on your door entrance. 11. Find the silliest Halloween jokes on the Internet and print them up and read a random kid’s jokes to trick or treaters before giving them their candy. That will really spoon them when they think they are getting a trick instead of a treat. 12. Fill candy jars with black licorice or black jelly beans and attach plastic glow in the dark spiders, snakes and insects to the lids. 13. Make a Ghoulish Garland or Banner by using black ribbon to tie a long string of plastic spiders or bugs and hang them around the room or around your door entrance. 14. Wear medical gloves and a surgical mask and scrubs decorated

EXCEPT THEREFROM ALL OIL, GAS, MINERALS AND OTHER HYDROCARBON SUBSTANCES, LYING BELOW A DEPTH OF 500 FEET, WITHOUT THE RIGHT OF SURFACE ENTRY, AS RESERVED BY LADERA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.L.C., A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, IN DEED RECORDED DECEMBER 10, 1996 AS INSTRUMENT NO. 19960624029 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS. ALSO EXCEPTING THEREFROM ALL WATER, WATER RIGHTS, GEOTHERMAL STEAM AND STEAM POWER, WITHIN OR UNDERLYING SAID PROPERTY, TOGETHER WITH THE PERPETUAL RIGHT OF DEVELOPMENT THEREOF, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE RIGHTS HEREIN RESERVED AND EXCEPTED DO NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO ENTER UPON THE SURFACE AND THE TOP 500 FEET OF THE SUBSURFACE OF SAID LAND, AS RESERVED BY LADERA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.L.C., A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, IN DEED RECORDED DECEMBER 10, 1996 AS INSTRUMENT NO. 19960624029 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 15 WHIDBEY DRIVE, LADERA RANCH AREA, CA 92694 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances
if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $1,188,610.30 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08003729-14-1. 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.
