By Bryan Golden In less than 200 years, America grew from a handful of colonies to become the greatest nation in history. In a few hundred years, we surpassed nations that were many times older. What makes America great? The two main elements that make America great are our people and our freedoms. Our people have a can do, nothing is impossible, spirit. Starting with the American Revolution, we have always conquered adversity, often in the face of overwhelming odds. We have more rights and freedoms than anywhere else in the world. Our freedoms are considered inalienable rights, not privileges granted by government. Our freedoms are the envy of the world. Every item in the bill of rights is a precious jewel, designed to ensure the immortality of our liberty. Our founders came from societies where government controlled its citizens. They had a solid understanding of the consequences of unchecked power. Our constitution was crafted specifically to limit the scope of government to prevent its infringing on individual liberties. Our constitution is a brilliant document, filled with foresight and understanding, that has withstood the test of time. The principles embedded in

What Makes America Great
the constitution are the foundation of our greatness. In America, each citizen can control his or her destiny without fear of interference by government or others. Our government was formed to serve the people rather than vice versa. Our government was designed to play a minimal role in people’s lives. Our doors have always been open to people from anywhere in the world who want to come here legally to work hard, contribute, and assimilate into our society. America’s reputation as a melting pot is derived from the fact that people from every walk of life can work together to create an unstoppable force for good. In America anything is possible. America is great because it offers its people unlimited opportunity to succeed by bringing their dreams to reality. In America, success requires hard work, determination, and persistence, not permission. We are constitutionally protected to prevent government from confiscating the results of our labor. America is an engine for unprecedented productivity. Our economic system has been responsible for civilization transforming innovations and discoveries. No other country has even come close and many other
systems have failed miserably. America has a big heart. Whether in this country or elsewhere, we help those who can not help themselves. Americans are first on the scene in the wake of natural or civic disasters. We are there with food, supplies, medical aid, and money. Our brave soldiers travel the globe defending those who can’t defend themselves. In America there are no problems
that we can’t solve. Any obstacles we may face do not taint our greatness. It is our greatness that enables us to overcome adversity and become even stronger in the process. Everyday, be thankful that you live in America and benefit from its greatness. Don’t take for granted that which people in other countries can only dream about. Be proud to be an American.

Fact s A b o u t t h e Fo u r t h of Ju ly: Am e r i c a’ s I n dep en den ce Day By Jennifer Phillips The 4th of July marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the men who are responsible for the start of the United States of America. In 1776, on July 2nd, the Continental Congress met to discuss independence. There was much political unrest at the time, with the thirteen colonies chafing under the rule of a King who was an entire ocean away. There were feelings of resentment over the lack of representation in England, for the Colonies. In short, the citizens of the original Colonies were unhappy, and the Continental Congress felt it was time to take the next step forward, towards independence, and self-rule. Two days after this meeting, on July 4th, these men signed a document, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, declaring the intentions of the Colonies to be free from the rule of the kingdom of Great Britain. What followed was a long, bitter war lasting roughly eight years. It eventually involved not only England and the United States, but also France, Spain and the Dutch Republic. The war ended in 1783, and the United States were finally free to
govern themselves, but the date most celebrated is the date that began it all; the Fourth of July. While the 4th of July has only been an official paid holiday for federal employees since 1941, it has been celebrated thoroughly since the very start. Today the 4th of July is celebrated in the United States with parades, fireworks, picnics and extravagant displays of patriotism. It has been that way for a long time, too. The list below illustrates some of the ways that this holiday has been celebrated in the past. * 1777- Thirteen gunshots were fired (once in the morning, and again in the evening) on July 4th in Rhode Island. Philadelphia held an official dinner, complete with toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, songs, parades and, yes, fireworks. * 1778- George Washington's soldiers received a double ration of rum and an artillery salute. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, acting as ambassadors to France, held a celebration dinner for their fellow Americans. * 1779- July 4th fell on a holiday, and was celebrated on Monday instead.
* 1781- Massachusetts was the first state to recognize July 4th as an official state holiday. * 1791- The first use recorded use of the name "Independence Day" is found in this year. * 1941- The 4th of July is declared a paid holiday for federal employees. The traditions of the 4th of July celebrations run deep. It inspires in many American citizens feelings of patriotism, and pride in their country. It's also a holiday for fun and family. Some of the long-standing celebrations in the United States include: * Since 1785, Bristol, Rhode Island's Fourth of July Parade has occurred annually. This makes it the oldest continuous Independence day celebration in the United States. * Since 1916, Nathan's Hot Dog Contest has been held at Coney Island every 4th of July. The contest supposedly started as a way to settle an argument between four immigrants, over who was the most patriotic. * During the last week of June, since 1959, Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario hold a mutual celebration of both Independence Day and Canada Day. The celebration
ends with a large fireworks display over the Detroit River. Clearly, Americans hold a special place in their hearts for this holiday, even this many years later. Many wars have been fought, and many lives lost, in the name of freedom and independence. Even in times of political unrest and economic struggle, Americans can, on this day, look back at their long, rich history of freedom and independence, and feel a sense of gratitude to, and pride in, their forefathers, and the men who followed in their footsteps.
Named your car? Then treat it like a good friend with these tips When cousins Bo and Luke Duke from the television series The Dukes of Hazzard named their car “The General Lee,” they had the famous General Robert E. Lee in mind. Why? The show was set in the South, so perhaps it was to capture the Southern vibe of the Duke lifestyle. Maybe it symbolized rebellion against authority. Who knows? There are as many reasons for naming a car as there are drivers, and the Dukes were in good company when they named theirs. Thirty-five (35) percent of Americans have named their car in the past, proving that our cars can have a deeper emotional hold on us than just a way to get from point A to point B, according to Hankook Tire’s quarterly Spring Gauge Index. Gender influences choices. The Gauge showed that women are more likely to consider the car they drive a female, and men are more likely to consider their car male. On the other hand, approximately half of those surveyed stay gender-neutral when it comes to cars, considering their vehicle neither male nor female. Some of the most popular names were “Betsy,” “Bessie,” and “Baby.” On the other end were Page 4
the more unconventional, exotic titles including “The Accordion,” “Petunia” and “NellyBelly.” Whether or not you name your car, treat it like a friend and it will take better care of you. This season, treating your car right includes: Anticipating slick surfaces - Stopping on a wet road can take up to four times the normal distance on a dry road. During wet weather conditions, drive slowly and keep in mind that stopping
The Ladera Ranch News
distances will be longer. Tires like the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 have circumferential and Aqua Jet lateral grooves that promote efficient water evacuation from the center of the tire’s contact patch to enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. Learning to change a tire Whether it’s from a class, a friend, or dear ol’ dad, take a few pointers on changing a tire. And always make sure you pack a spare tire in
your trunk. You never know when you’ll find yourself in an unfortunate situation on the road. Rotating your tires - Tire rotation extends the life of your tires and ensures optimal performance. Many don’t do this routinely, but when done correctly, tire rotation promotes even wear and improved tread life giving you the maximum life out of your tires. A professional tire dealer can get the job done for you in a quick visit.

I c e d T e a : A N e w Ta k e o n a n Am e r i c a n T r a d i t i o n As temperatures rise this summer, Americans will turn to their favorite ways to stay cool: air conditioning, beach days and, of course, iced tea. Historians believe iced tea gained its place in American culture at the World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1904 where a tea plantation owner was attempting to serve his hot tea to fairgoers. When he saw that overheated fairgoers had no interest in the beverage, he cooled the tea using frozen lead pipes to offer an alternative option. The iced tea was a hit, and an American tradition was born. More than 100 years later, Americans are still enjoying iced tea. In 2010, Americans consumed more than 65 billion servings of tea, according to the Tea Council of the USA. Of that, approximately 85 percent of tea is iced. Today iced tea can be found bottled or fresh brewed in a variety of flavors – from pomegranate to watermelon and beyond. And sweetened or unsweetened isn’t the only way it’s served. Try it on the rocks. “Iced tea cocktails and mocktails, like Citrus Iced Tea Punch, offer a new take on tea,” said John Cheetham, a tea master for Lipton® who noted the brand recently launched a new 100% natural line of bottled iced tea. “We pride ourselves in tea innovation and we love to see our fans get creative with iced tea.” For a twist on traditional iced tea, Cheetham recommends mixing 100% Natural Lipton Iced Tea with fresh summertime ingredients like mint, coconut or orange juice. With a variety of flavors, such as favorites Green Tea with Citrus, Iced Tea with Lemon, or new flavors Iced Tea with Blueberry Pomegranate and Green Tea with Passionfruit Mango,
the possibilities are endless. Lipton Iced Tea also recently introduced Diet Green Teas in Watermelon and Citrus flavors. Getting thirsty? Try Lipton Iced Tea’s Citrus Iced Tea Punch recipe. For additional recipes, visit www. Facebook.com/LiptonIcedTea. Citrus Iced Tea Punch Prep Time: 10 minutes 6 servings 2 bottles 100% Natural Lipton
Iced Tea with Lemon 1 cup orange juice 1 lemon, sliced 1 lime, sliced Combine tea with orange juice in large pitcher; stir in sliced fruit. Serve in ice-filled glasses. Garnish, if desired, with fresh mint. Tip: To transform from mocktail to cocktail just add tequila or rum.
Always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” ~ A.A. Milne, Author Winnie the Pooh The Ladera Ranch News

Easy 4th of July BBQ Ribs By Mary McShane This is an easy and great tasting 4th of July BBQ ribs recipe for your gathering of family and friends. The unique combination of cranberry sauce, your favorite BBQ sauce and brown sugar will encourage you to use it with more pork recipes. 2 lbs Pork ribs Marinate 4-6 hours in a mixture of: - 3/4 can beer - 1/4 cup olive oil - 1/4 cup BBQ sauce Mix for basting/dipping sauce: - 3/4 cup BBQ sauce - 1/2 cup cranberry sauce - 2 tbls. chili sauce - 1/2 cup brown sugar - orange juice to your desired consistency Grill low (200-250) for 2-4 hours depending on thickness of the ribs and baste as needed. To reduce grilling time: parboil the ribs in marinate mixture with water added to cover the ribs until meat is gray or bake at 350, in marinade mixture until meat is lightly browned. Children like these ribs best when they are cut, after grilling, to the size of riblets. The riblets also make a great party food. For the 4th of July, place the ribs/riblets on a white platter and garnish with blueberries. Page 6

A u g u s t a Iw a s a k i i s P r i n c e s s o f t h e $5,000 Markel Pony Derby on Kingston
Augusta Iwasaki and Kingston with Brandon Seger of Markel Insurance, Melissa Brandes of Blenheim EquiSports and Karen Perlow presenting the Just a Minute Perpetual Trophy From Prix to Ponies, Markel Insurance Supports Great Sport. The competition continued after the Grand Prix with the $5,000 Pony Derby, also presented by Markel Insurance. A unique opportunity for this division, the classic and handy rounds were held on the grass. With an overall total of 175, Augusta Iwasaki rode Ava Peck’s large pony Kingston to a decisive win. In her classic round with Kingston, Iwasaki received an 87 and in her handy round, scored an 88. “I’ve been riding him since Thermal. He’s actually owned by Ava Peck and I’m very lucky to get to ride him,” Iwasaki says of her win. “I like the hunter derbies since they’re different. It’s something new and fun.” Second to Iwasaki was the large pony Party Favor with Brooke Morin in the irons. Iwasaki earned third place on her medium mount Small Suggestion to round out the top three. Karen Perlow, once a pony rider and now a professional, wanted to see this special event come to life. “The derby started last year for the
kids to have something to look up to,” she said. “It gives preparation for the future, for the nerves, and to think about something other than points.” Intended to go along with the Red, White, and Blue Classic, Perlow created the Just A Minute Perpetual Trophy. Just a Minute, aka “Minnie,” was purchased by Sam Perlow and Art Gottfried at the AHSA pony auction so Karen could start her pony career. “Minnie” led Karen to many championships in the Small Pony Hunter and equitation divisions. Karen and Just a Minute competed at the USEF Pony Finals in 1987 and 1989 with top calls in all classes. This award is presented in dedication to Just A Minute and to future wonderful ponies and their riders. Notably, “Minnie” was in foal at the time of purchase. In later years, that foal was Grand Green Small Pony at Pony Finals in Lexington, Kentucky. Still going strong as one of the pinnacles for pony riders, Iwasaki will be heading to Lexington in August to compete several mounts in the small,
medium and large divisions of the 2015 USEF Pony Finals. She will be one of hundreds who come from near and far to compete at this prestigious annual event. With the Markel Pony Hunter Derby win on Kingston, and her victory last week in the Zone 10 Pony Hunter
Challenge on Somekindawonderful, Iwasaki is well-prepared for the competitive Pony Finals. Blenheim EquiSports and all of the grand prix and pony riders thank Markel Horse Insurance for their continued support. Photos by McCool

PACI F IC SY M PHONY ’ S ANNUAL J ULY 4 TH CELEBRATION KICKS O F F ITS SU M M ER F ESTI V AL Pacific Symphony launches entrance with $20 tickets for family
Summer Festival 2015 with a rollicking, high-energy Fourth of July celebration featuring the everpopular tunes of Journey, brought to life by the tribute band, Faithfully. With a reputation for being a highly authentic Journey tribute band, Faithfully preserves the hits of one of the most beloved bands in America through performances of songs such as “Don’t Stop Believin,’” “Faithfully,” “Any Way you Want It,” “Open Arms” and “Wheel in the Sky.” Remaining one of the most popular rock bands in America to this day, Journey’s wide variety of musical genres including rock, jazz fusion, progressive rock, hard rock and pop rock have won them 25 gold and platinum albums and 19 top 40 singles. The Symphony’s Independence Day concert (always the most popular of the season!) begins early with picnicking on the grounds and culminates in a brilliant fireworks display set to music performed by the orchestra. The festivities also pay homage to America’s war heroes and veterans through a salute to the U.S. armed forces. Faithfully, enhanced by the musical force of the Symphony’s full orchestra, led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, rocks Journey’s hits on Saturday, July 4, at 8 p.m. at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre (formerly Verizon Wireless Amphitheater). Tickets for “Faithfully: A Symphonic Tribute to the Music of Journey” range from $25 (lawn seating) to $107 (orchestra seating); children under 14 are half price in most sections with the purchase of an adult ticket. Military personnel and veterans receive free

members. Guests are welcome to picnic on the grounds of the venue starting at 6 p.m. and listen to the Orange County Wind Ensemble. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “There’s nothing like joining several thousand people to celebrate America’s birthday,” enthuses Maestro Kaufman. “This year Pacific Symphony pulls out all the stops to give everyone the opportunity to honor America in a fun, exciting and memorable way! “It’s much more than just a concert!” he continues. “We will feature patriotic music to stir the hearts of our audience, and on the first half of the concert we present music from some of Hollywood’s most memorable and fun film fantasies. Then, of course, we enjoy the music of the iconic band, Journey, and end with fireworks! It’s a night for the entire family and people of all ages.” This first concert of Summer Festival 2015 begins with John Williams’ moving “Liberty Fanfare,” followed by good old-fashioned family fun, featuring music from popular movies and television shows, including “Harry and the Hendersons,” “Doctor Doolittle,” “Mary Poppins,” “Spiderman,” “Star Trek” and “The Flintstones Meet the Jetsons.” After intermission, Faithfully’s dynamic stage presence captures the sound and character of Journey as they sing the band’s top hits. The evening includes a formal salute to the U.S. armed forces, accompanied by patriotic classics such as “America the Beautiful” Sousa’s “Washington Post March,” “Semper Fidelis,” and
The Ladera Ranch News
“Stars and Stripes Forever” and ends with a breathtaking fireworks finale! Twists and turns and reinventions sum up the journey of Journey. The band began in San Francisco in 1973, when Neal Schon (guitarist) and Gregg Rolie (vocal and keyboard), members of the original Santana, experienced the breakup of the band and joined forces to create Journey. The addition of Steve Perry in 1977 took Journey in a more poprock direction, as well as to greater
commercial success, culminating in 1981 with the album “Escape.” Other key members included Ross Valory (bass), Jonathan Cain (keyboards), who replaced Rolie when he left, dissatisfied with the commercial direction of the band, Steve Smith (drums) and Perry. Additional upheaval led to Valory and Smith being fired in the mid‘80s. Randy Jackson, famous for his work on “American Idol,” came onboard as Journey continued its popularity for one more album, shortly before Journey disbanded. The band reunited in the mid-’90s, releasing an album, but never touring. While they did not recapture their earlier success, Journey has since continued with several new singers, discovering current lead singer, Arnel Pineda, from the Philippines, on YouTube. “Faithfully—A Symphonic Tribute to the Music of Journey” celebrates the music of Journey like never before. The Faithfully Band hails from Las Vegas and is comprised of members Joseph Finger (music director and drums), Christine La Fond (vocals), Michael Johnson (lead guitar), Keith Hubacher (bass), Tom Lipps (keyboards), and Jesse Bradman (vocals). In addition to performing the music of Journey, members of the band have each performed with headliners over the past several years in the Las Vegas area. The show is produced by Stephen Cook and TCG Entertainment.

Vocational Visions Nets $100,000 at Enchanted Evening Fundraiser Photos by: Ann Chatillon Over 300 guests helped Vocational Visions reach their fundraising goal of $100,000 at the organization’s 12th annual Enchanted Evening fundraiser. Chaired by community leader and Vocational Visions’ board member Hilary Hurt, the event was held at the Irvine Marriott Hotel with the theme, “An Enchanted Evening of Magic & Comedy.” ABM Industries was awarded with Vocational Visions’ Employer of the Year award during a special ceremony.

ABM is one of the largest facility management services providers in the U.S. with nearly 100,000 employees nationwide. The festive evening began with an expansive silent auction and cocktail reception. Volunteer magicians and Magic Castle members Randy Gastreich, Victor Globa and John Tonsick delighted guests with their strolling magic tricks during the initial reception. Dinner followed and included organic filed greens with point eyes blue cheese, walnuts, strawberries and champagne vinaigrette dressing, Rosarito chicken stuffed with corn, queso fresco and chili poblano with chipotle cream sauce. Desserts alternated between apple cranberry crumble and peanut butter with salted caramel cake. The opportunity drawing was generously donated by longtime supporter Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach which included a two night stay for two with dinner and two in-room breakfasts. And the lucky was Andrea Haro who has been involved with Vocational Visions since 2014.

The evening highlight was a special musical performance by Vocational Visions participants including Travis Cooper, Michael Di Mattio, Patricia Fritsche, Judy Hunt, Wayne Hunt, Holly Powers, Tracy Roberts, Jeff Simanson and Keith Smith. Sean Ikola was the “magician” and the heartwarming performance was choreographed by Vocational Visions’ Patti Porto.

Prepping for a party: make-ahead appetizers make summer entertaining easy Don’t let the first “ding-dong” of the doorbell catch you up to your elbows in dirty dishes and half-finished appetizers. For your next party, prepare your appetizers ahead of time with these simple tips and recipes: “Let’s not reinvent the wheel. Take items you already know how to make and turn them cool and trendy with some add-ons,” says Chef Richard Worthen, culinary instructor at The Art Institute of Seattle. You can dress up egg, tuna or chicken salad with a variety of flavors and spices. He recommends chopped cilantro instead of chopped parsley, adding chipotle to egg salad or adding almonds, walnuts or pistachio nuts for some crunch. For a gluten-free appetizer, try lettuce cups. “You could do a quick chop of a variety of three-to-four items and put it in a lettuce cup,” says Chef Brian Shulse of The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University. “It can also go traditional Asian - ground pork with some spices that can just be popped in the microwave to heat before serving.” “You could do a flat bread with seasonal vegetables on it,” Shulse says. “Make the bread in advance, roll it out, put olive oil on it, add seasonal vegetables, and bake.” Worthen recommends tomato toast, which is made by taking cut tomatoes and rubbing the juice and pulp into french
bread slices. This can serve as a base for any type of spread. Shulse says people tend to go to proteins, such as shrimp cocktail and cubes of steak, and not to the veggie tray. He says you can make all kinds of skewers with different meats, then add fresh chopped herbs and citrus to Greek yogurt for a quick and easy sauce. Another great make-ahead protein is tuna tartar, which can be made with a high-quality ahi tuna steak and served with store-bought kettle chips. Phyllo-wrapped asparagus, made with store-bought phyllo dough, is another easy recipe, along with water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. Simply wrap one third of a slice of bacon around each water chestnut, roll in brown sugar and bake at 425 degrees until brown and crisp. Try these easy make-ahead recipes courtesy of Shulse: Spicy Ahi Tartare Yield: 10 servings Ingredients: 2 pounds Yellow fin/Ahi tuna, diced in 1/8-inch pieces 1/2 cup cucumber, washed, dried, diced in 1/8-inch pieces(optionalpeel) 1-2 garlic cloves, crushed, peel removed and minced 1-2 serrano or jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced fine 1 shallot, finely minced (substitute 2 green onions) 1 orange, washed, dried, zested,
juiced 1 lime, juiced 1 teaspoon dry oregano (or 2 teaspoons fresh) 2 teaspoon ground cumin 2 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste) 1 teaspoon sugar 1 bag thick potato chips (like Kettle chips) or crackers Directions: Gently mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. This will hold for two to four hours (or up to overnight). To serve, gently mix and place in a serving bowl with a spoon, with the chips on the side. Lettuce Cups Yield: 15 bites Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 yellow onion, small dice 1 tablespoon garlic, smashed, peeled, minced 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled, grated fine (or use micro plane) 1/2 bunch green onions, minced, white and green kept separately 1 pound ground pork or turkey 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 cup water chestnuts, small dice 2 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoon Hoisin sauce 1-2 tablespoons Chinese hot mustard 1/2 cup peanuts, crushed or chopped 15 Iceberg lettuce cups, cut into
3-inch squares Directions: Over medium-low heat, preheat a medium size saute pan for 30 seconds. Add the sesame oil and swirl the pan until it is fully coated with oil. Add the onion, garlic, white part of the green onion and ginger. Sweat for several minutes until the mixture begins to look translucent. Turn up the heat to high and add the ground pork. Cook on high, stirring until the meat turns pale brown. Turn the heat back down to medium-low and add the salt, diced water chestnuts, soy sauce and Hoisin sauce. Cook until moisture evaporates. Turn the pan off and add the Chinese hot mustard to taste. After this has cooled down, cover and refrigerate. Can be made up to four days in advance. Reheat gently in a microwave or saute pan until just warmed through. Place in a serving bowl, top with peanuts, and serve with lettuce cups.
Have a Flag-Waving Fourth of July! I’m bringing a fantastic flag cake to this year’s party - it serves a lot of people and it’s easy to make. I’ll let you in on two little secrets that make this cake taste extra good: instant potato flakes keep the cake tender and moist, while mini chocolate chips give you little bursts of chocolate with every bite. The colorful fruit on top not only adds great flavor, but it turns this cake into a showstopper that has guests “oohing” and “ahhing” in delight! If you’re going to a potluck party this year, I have some tips for being a good guest: * Keep it safe: It’s tricky to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold, so make sure the food you’re bringing will be safe at room temperature. For example, on a hot summer day, vinegar-based salad dressings are a better choice than mayonnaise-based ones. * Keep it simple: Bring dishes that are ready to serve. Asking to pop something into the host’s oven for “just a few minutes” is inconvenient for the host and the guests waiting to eat. * Keep it practical: Label your dish so that guests know what they’re getting. It’s also a big help if you bring your own serving utensils - the host won’t be forced to hunt for something and the line won’t get held up waiting.
* Keep it yours: If you need to take your serving dish home, be sure to label it. A bit of masking tape with your name on it can be discreetly placed on the dish so it doesn’t get mixed up with someone else’s.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$886,863.37 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. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 025513-CA. 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. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 Publish: 6/26/2015, 7/3/2015, 7/10/2015
