Almonds Add Flavor and Crunch to Winter Dishes Winter foods typically mean one thing – comfort. Regardless of climate or geographic location, we crave the root vegetables and braised meats that complement the season and keep us full and warm. Luckily, almonds in all their forms guarantee these dishes taste as indulgent and delicious as the very foods we crave.

Chef Anthony Rose of the Drake Hotel in Toronto, is a pro at using seasonal foods and almonds to create comforting, delicious and unexpected dishes. Rose’s wintry creations take the best of what the season has to offer and adds the distinct crunch and flavor of almonds.

“I love the rich, buttery flavor and crunch of toasted almonds. They make the perfect addition to any dish, whether a starter, main course or even in desserts and cocktails,” Rose says. “Braised dishes and winter salads always benefit from the unrivaled crunch almonds can provide.”

Chef Rose’s winter recipes, such as roasted beets in a tangy mustardalmond vinaigrette and braised pork shoulder with an apple-almond compote, create an entire menu that balances seasonal ingredients

with zesty flavors and the crunch of almonds. But it’s his Almond-Crusted Pumpkin Fritters that lend a colorful, festive and crunchy start to any cozy gathering.

Almond Crusted Pumpkin Fritters 1 pound cooked Kabocha squash (1 small raw) 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon crushed chili flakes 1/2 pound cooked russet potato (1 large raw) 1 cup salt 3 tablespoons chopped sage 1 ounce grated parmesan 1 ounce grated cheddar 1 egg yolk Zest of half a lemon 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups toasted crushed almonds Salt and pepper, to taste 1 bag micro greens Preheat oven to 350°F. Split squash width wise; scrape out seeds. Drizzle each half with olive oil. Sprinkle with chili flakes, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Let sit for 20 minutes.

Stab each potato four times around with fork. Line sheet pan with salt; place potatoes on top. Place squash

face-down on another parchmentlined sheet pan. Bake squash and potatoes in oven for 1 hour or until soft. Remove from oven. Carefully split open potatoes lengthwise to steam; allow all to cool completely.

Discard salt.

When cool, scoop out squash and potato into bowl. Add sage, parmesan, cheddar, egg and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine thoroughly; a chunky texture is fine.

Set up three bowls and one parchment-lined sheet tray. In one bowl, whisk together eggs; place almonds and flour separately in two

remaining bowls.

With large spoon or scoop, take about 2 tablespoons of squash mixture and form an oval; dredge in flour, dip in egg and roll in almonds before placing onto sheet pan. Repeat with remaining squash. Refrigerate until ready to fry.

In deep, heavy bottomed pan, heat oil to 300°F. Carefully pan fry fritters until golden brown, approximately 2-1/2 minutes each side. Remove from oil. Drain on paper towel; sprinkle with pinch of salt. Serve hot on small bed of microgreens with or without sauce.

Steps to Kick Off a Year of Good Health A fresh beginning with a new year is the perfect time for a health assessment to ensure you are ready to take on a full and active year ahead. Even if you’re feeling great, it’s a smart practice to take time to identify potential problems before they become more serious health concerns.

Early detection of ailments, such as cardiovascular disease, can significantly impact an individual’s ability to cope with the disease, allowing you to make adjustments such as changes in diet and lifestyle, or when necessary, drug therapies and other medical treatments.

Delaying detection of this serious disease until its more advanced stages can have dire consequences.

With these three steps, you can get a better picture of your cardiovascular health and identify silent, hidden risk factors (like plaque in your arteries) that you may not even know are there.

1. Get your blood pressure checked. Blood pressure measures how much force a person’s blood is putting on the artery walls as the heart pumps. High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when your heart has to work extra hard to pump blood throughout the body. High blood pressure often happens when arteries lose their elasticity through Page 4

hardening caused by cholesterol, plaque or scarring. Many people do not experience symptoms of high blood pressure, so it’s important to have your blood pressure checked periodically. Screening for high blood pressure involves placing a pressure cuff around your upper arm to monitor both diastolic and systolic blood pressure. A normal systolic reading is between 90 and 119, and a normal diastolic reading is 60-79.

2. Get your cholesterol checked.

A simple finger-stick screening measures total cholesterol as well as three different kinds of lipids in your blood (HDL, LDL and triglycerides), which are important in determining your heart health. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as the “bad” cholesterol and can build up in the walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Along with other substances, it can form plaque – a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol because it carries LDL away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it’s passed from the body. A high HDL level helps prevent heart disease, while a low HDL level increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Triglycerides are the most common type of fat. Like cholesterol, they

The Newport News

circulate in blood but are stored in the body for extra energy. A high triglyceride level combined with a low HDL or high LDL can speed up the process of plaque formation in the arteries.

3. Learn about other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Many people in the early stages of cardiovascular disease are asymptomatic, meaning they have no symptoms to indicate their health is at risk. Some common risk factors include age (55 and older), family history, tobacco use and high bloodpressure, other factors, such as high cholesterol, aren’t as easily observed.

Preventive health screenings, such as those provided by Life Line Screening, can give you a fuller picture of how risk factors may be stacking up.

The screenings are designed by doctors and administered by trained professionals to help detect hidden health issues. Within a couple of weeks, you can receive easy-tounderstand test results to share with your doctor so you can work together to prevent serious problems before they start.

To starting the year off right with a preventive health screening, visit lifelinescreening.com.

Volunteers Needed to Count Bald Eagles Volunteers are needed to help count bald eagles in the annual winter bald eagle counts in and near the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains. Participants in December’s count observed a total of seven bald eagles. With more winter storms in the forecast, we expect more migrant bald eagles to be moving into the area over the next few weeks. Our highest numbers of bald eagles are usually in January and February.

Concurrent Bald Eagle counts are held at Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead, Lake Silverwood, Lake Perris, and Lake Hemet. Some of these sites have held winter counts since 1978! Volunteers are stationed at vantage points around the lakes, where they watch for bald eagles during a 1-hour period on the count mornings. Volunteers record their observations on maps and data sheets. This is a wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of our breath-taking national symbol. Brief orientations are conducted prior to the count so volunteers know where to go and what to do.

“Through this method, the agencies and land managers have learned a lot about which areas are important to eagles and how the populations are doing. But we can’t do it without a lot of volunteers – we need people to put on their eagle eyes to help us search. The more eyes and ears we have helping, the more likely it is that we won’t miss any eagles” said Forest Service biologist Robin Eliason.

We are carefully watching the predicted winter storms for this week. Please check with the count organizers listed below on Friday to see if the count will continue as planned.

The bald eagle counts for this winter are scheduled for the following Saturday mornings: January 9th, February 13th, and March 12th. No experience needed. Signing up ahead of time is unnecessary – just show up at the designated time

and location, dress warmly, bring binoculars and a watch.

• Big Bear Lake area volunteers will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Forest Service’s Big Bear Discovery Center on North Shore Drive for orientation.

Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@ fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-3822832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled. Contact the Discovery Center (909-382-2790) for information about Eagle Celebrations.

There will also be a free slideshow about bald eagles at 11:00 after the counts.

• Lake Arrowhead/Lake Gregory volunteers will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Skyforest Ranger Station for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled.

• Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area volunteers should plan to meet at the Visitor Center at 8:00 a.m. for orientation. Contact Kathy Williams or Mark Wright for more information about volunteering or taking an eagle tour (760-389-2303 between 8:00 and 4:00; or email: khwilliams@parks. ca.gov).

• Lake Hemet volunteers should plan on meeting at the Lake Hemet Grocery Store at 8:30 a.m. for orientation. Contact Ann Bowers (annbowers@fs.fed.us or 909-3822935) for more information.

• Lake Perris State Recreation Area volunteers should plan to meet at the Lake Perris Regional Indian Museum at 8:00 for orientation. Contact the office for more information at 951940-5600.

The bald eagle nest at Big Bear Lake now has a live-stream nest camera installed. The nesting pair,

Lucy and Ricky, is expected to start working on the nest in late December.

They typically lay eggs in early or mid-January. Be sure to check it out: http://friendsofbigbearvalley.org/ eagle-cam.html See websites for additional information about the San Bernardino National Forest (http://www.fs.fed.us/ r5/sanbernardino/) and the California State Recreation Areas (www.parks. ca.gov).

That’s why you regularly see stories about the Newport News Chamber of Commerce, and prominent Newport News residents in the Newport News. So when you advertise In the Newport News you get the most popular weekly for Newport Beach readers.

4.U S Post office plus selected delivery makes this newspaper special!

While everyone knows that the Newport News is delivered to nearly every single family residence in Newport Coast by the United States Post office, the Newport News is also hand-delivered each week to local Newport News area businesses, professional offices, library, and several centrally located news racks other popular gathering spots where Newport News residents can easily pick up a copy.

She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly. Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features major charity events where the beautiful people

of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes.

casa Fashion Show and Luncheon Raise $320,000 Photos by Xuong Do Friends of CASA, a fundraising auxiliary of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), hosted its 2015 Holiday Luncheon, at The St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point.

The Luncheon and Fashion Show smashed all previous records and budget expectations, netting more than $302,000 that will go directly to supporting CASA’s mission of recruiting, training, and supervising community volunteers who mentor and advocate for children in the foster care system.

The elegant event was co-chaired by Tiffanie Foster and Colleen Masterson, who were assisted by a team of over 60 members of the Friends of CASA auxiliary, which is led by President Jaynine Warner.

The Luncheon had a beautiful and well-dressed crowd of over 600 guests fill the halls outside of the ballroom to bid on 185 auction packages during the champagne reception.

This year’s Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet fashion show was presented

by Saks Fifth Avenue. The jaw dropping runway show was a presentation of their Spring 2016 collection set in the scene of an urban inspired desert and signified the long awaited return of day time dress-up which incorporated bold colors, unique prints, and eclectic details that pulled together the vibrant and dynamic pieces.

The guest speaker for the event was former foster youth, and current Colorado CASA State Coordinator, Lauren Mueller, who shared an emotional and personal story of abuse and neglect and the struggle to overcome being personally violated. Ms. Mueller ended her heartfelt speech by sharing “I know that it is hard to imagine that children right here in Orange County are being abused. But I am telling you that these children are here; they are not just locked in basements. You see these children when you walk through the grocery store; when you drop your own children off at school; when you go to the park. We are all here so their voices can be heard”.

An opportunity drawing donated by Lugano Diamonds for 5 bangles each with .46 carats Round Brilliant Collection VS Diamonds set in Titanium and valued at a total of $19,500 was won by Amita Singh.

In one of the most memorable moments of the Luncheon, Ms. Singh, graciously gifted the bangles to guest speaker, Lauren Mueller.

Friends of CASA are committed to raising funds for CASA of Orange County’s mentor-advocate program for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. Through the annual Holiday Luncheon, the Friends of CASA raise awareness of the CASA program, recruiting volunteers and long-term donors to CASA. Over the years, this dedicated group of women has been responsible for raising well over 1.75 million dollars that has gone directly to addressing the needs of some of our community’s most vulnerable children.

This year’s Executive Committee of the Holiday Luncheon consisted of Elizabeth Carpino, Stacie Capobianco, Judy Chang, Kimberly Matties, Stephanie Finn, Marisa Gallegos, Sara Guggenheim Jarrett, Lori Jackson, Shawni Jackson, Patty Juarez, Debra Klein, Sandi Marino, Janine Wald, Jaynine Warner, and Tracy Wiegand.

Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County is a privatelyfunded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training and continued support of volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings. Founded in 1985, with major support from the Junior League of Orange County, they serve annually approximately 1,000 of the children who move through the court system as a direct cause of abuse and neglect.

Fresh for the season: Top budget-friendly wardrobe trends

As the weather outside evolves to a fresh season, wardrobes are evolving too. Whether you’re shopping with your kids or you want a few new pieces for you and your spouse, incorporating some of the season’s top trends into your look is an easy way to stay stylish. The good news: this season is full of trends that are not only comfortable, but affordable too.

Here are six trends for this season that will keep you looking great without breaking the bank: Innovative fabrics Being fashionable doesn’t mean being uncomfortable. That’s where

modern innovative fabrics take center stage. Many designers are now using fabrics that breath, stretch or wick perspiration.

Colorful hats Beanies, fedoras, baseball caps, oh my! When it comes to fashion meeting function, there’s no better option than a great hat. Having a few in your collection means you can mix and match depending on your mood.

Remember, accessories can be a good way to experiment with color, so a hat in rusty orange or vibrant teal might be the perfect way to integrate unique hues into your wardrobe.

Classic patterns

Checkers, houndstooth and pinstripes are classic patterns that never go out of style. Plaid is also -on-trend this season, popping up on runways around the world. Luckily, these patterns are available relatively cheap at many stores. Alternatively, hit vintage boutiques for affordable options that feature patterns that stand the test of time.

Slimming features From tanks that tuck and jeans that smooth, designs that slim are hot.

Pants are a great way to incorporate this trend into your look.

Lovely layers Layering is a fashionable way to stay warm when temperatures dip.

Stay on trend by mixing textures and prints for a one-of-a-kind look. The trick to layering is to start with light fabrics and then build thickness with each layer. For example, start with a cotton tank or T-shirt, layer with a light cardigan or sweater, and finish with a thicker jean jacket or military-style blazer.

Chunky knits From oversized sweaters to wool scarves, chunky knits are perfect to snuggle into on cool days. Cableknit sweaters are a great example, providing a preppy yet comfy look for both men and women. Keep in mind jewel tones are some of the hottest colors; select a chunky knit in emerald

green, royal purple or ruby red and you’ll have a ravishing, versatile addition to your wardrobe.

These affordable trends will have you looking great no matter which way your personal style leans. From modern fabrics to classic patterns, your wardrobe will stand out this seasons and beyond.

Stay Fresh Throughout Your Day

When walking into a meeting, after lunch, before a presentation, or making a new acquaintance, the last thing you want to worry about is not looking your best. In a society based on a go-go-go lifestyle, quick mirror checks can give you that extra boost of confidence before important moments in life. Here are some tips to help you look your best throughout the day.

Mid-day Mirror Check For many people, breaking for lunch often means running to a nearby restaurant for a quick bite before returning to the office. Take a moment to freshen-up prior to heading back to work, because you never know when you’ll need to be at your very best. * Touch-up that makeup. Often in the course of the morning, makeup can rub off or smear. Do a check in the mirror to reapply concealer or mascara. Using a pre- and postmakeup primer will also help keep your makeup from smearing. * Post-lunch check. Before you reapply any lip product, freshen up your mouth. On-the-go products such as the Colgate(r) Wisp(r) mini-brushes are perfect for a quick brushing that will keep your mouth clean and fresh, with no rinsing required. Plus they are

small enough to pack in a purse or keep in your desk drawer. Check out the full line at www.ColgateWisp.com. * Apply fragrance. Perfume, cologne and body spray will often fade over the course of the morning.

Take an opportunity to re-apply in the afternoon. Remember to be mindful of those with whom you share office space. Opt for light scents and don’t over-apply. * Style your ‘do. Combing or brushing your locks can help re-set your hairstyle. Products such as hairspray and dry shampoo can give your style additional body and boost. * Drink your H20. The benefits of drinking water show in your mood and in your skin. Staying hydrated will help prevent you from running low on energy and will keep your skin looking fresh. Make sure you have a water bottle at your desk and drink up!

Before the Big Pitch When preparing for an important meeting, use mirror time to run through your talking points while prepping your look. * Straighten that tie. Make sure to check your attire. It doesn’t hurt to have a backup suit or outfit in the office in the event of a coffee collision.

Having another option will keep you stress-free in those moments

following a spill. * Stash those products. Keep a supply of travel-sized personal care products in a drawer at the office. Store a comb, deodorant with antiperspirant, cologne, contact lens solution or eye drops, a lint roller and pocket mirror. These items are great to have on hand for last-minute meetings or to freshen up after a midday walk or trip to the gym.

* Keep those pearly whites fresh. A clean mouth is important for making a good impression. Post-coffee or following lunch, consider using a Colgate(r) Wisp(r) for a convenient brush to refresh your mouth.

These tips will help you feel confident and focus on what’s important, whether you’re presenting during a meeting or heading to a date straight from the office.

Power Up Throughout the Day with Protein As the building blocks of life, your body requires protein to function properly. But protein is also an important nutrient for those who wish to stay satisfied and full throughout their busy days.

Why protein is essential A vital part of every diet, proteins are made up of a chain of amino acids which work to repair damaged cells and create new ones. According to the National Institutes of Health, the right amount of protein can be found in a well-balanced, complete diet.

While sources of protein are often found in meats, eggs and fish, they can also be found in a variety of plant-based foods, such as soy, nuts and certain grains. As the average American’s schedule grows busier by the minute, it’s important to know the many convenient sources of protein available.

Fuel the day A successful day at work requires the focus and energy from a complete, balanced diet, including the addition of protein sources when possible. Try these tips and meal ideas for filling your morning and afternoon meals with smarter, more powerful food picks: • Breakfast. Check one item – having a wholesome morning meal – off your list of things to do each and every day. Perfect for those rushed, on-the-go mornings, opt for a protein-packed smoothie. Available in many flavorful varieties, they’re easy to throw in your bag and enjoy as you commute.

• Snack. A satisfying snack is one that will keep energy levels up and carry you over to your next meal. Some smart and satisfying options include Premier Protein 30g Bars and Fiber Bars. They are gluten-free and a good source of fiber, available

in a variety of flavors and offer up to 30 grams of protein per bar. Keep them on hand in your desk or computer bag so you’re always able to snack whenever hunger hits. For more satisfying snacks, visit www.premierprotein.com.

• Lunch. Amp up the protein on your turkey sandwich by replacing mayo and mustard with hummus, and use high-protein bread instead of regular whole wheat. For salads, add sliced hard boiled eggs and chickpeas. For a sweet powerpacked side, try cottage cheese topped with sliced peaches or Greek yogurt topped with fresh blueberries.

• Post-workout fuel. Whether you exercise in the morning or after a long day at the office, give your body the fuel it needs to recover. A rich and creamy Premier Protein Shake, available in chocolate, vanilla and strawberries & cream, offers up 30 grams of protein and contains only 160 calories and 1 gram of sugar.

Make balanced meals and snack options a part of every day with the various protein-packed sources available. No matter what your social or work life demands, there are always simple ways to help you stay balanced, fueled and healthy.

The 6 smartest money moves Millennials can make in 2016 Money worries know no age limit, and financial health is important for everyone - which could explain why financial pledges are among the most common New Year’s resolutions. Still, Millennials are a bit more likely than any other age group to be tempted into spending too much, according to research by the Barna Group.

Forty-one percent of Millennials said they are often or sometimes tempted to spend more than they have or can afford, according to the Barna survey. Interestingly, 66 percent also said they are tempted to procrastinate, which could add up to plenty of broken resolutions for Generation Y in 2015.

If you’ve promised yourself you’ll do better at money management in the New Year, here are the six smartest moves you can make to help you keep that resolution going until 2016 - and beyond.

1. Use what you know (technology) to help you manage what you want to understand better (finances).

Millennials are the generation most comfortable with technology.

The majority own and use multiple digital devices for personal and professional applications throughout their everyday lives. But surprisingly, they are also the generation most likely to struggle with financial literacy, studies show. In fact, in a survey by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), just 24 percent of Millennials were able to correctly answer four questions on a fivequestion financial literacy quiz.

Technology can help you get a

better handle on your finances.

Personal finance tools like Mint.com provide easy money-management.

When you create a free account, Mint pulls all your financial information - recurring bills, account balances, etc. - into one location so you see your complete financial picture. The site also helps you create a budget, track your progress and stick to it. A free downloadable app allows you to easily access your information onthe-go via your iPhone, Android, or Windows smartphone.

2. Scrutinize your current spending.

It’s impossible to save money - or achieve any other financial goal - until you have a handle on your spending.

Was yours out of control in 2014?

Gather together all recurring monthly bills, such as utilities and rent, your mobile service provider, groceries, entertainment, etc. Calculate how much you spend in a month. Is it almost as much as you earn? Is it more? Look for areas where you can reduce spending and categorize them as needs versus wants. Cutting unnecessary spending is a good start, but don’t overlook possibilities for trimming necessary expenses as well. For example, it might be a good time to talk to your cable provider about a cheaper plan.

3. Build a budget.

In 2014, 61 percent of American adults don’t have a budget and don’t keep close track of their spending, according to a Harris Poll commissioned by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Not having a budget is like attempting to

quarterback a football game without a game plan. Budgeting not only helps you stay in control of your spending and saving, it can make you feel more in control, confident and empowered in other areas, too.

Your budget should provide for necessary recurring expenses (like food, utilities, rent, transportation), retirement and regular savings, as well as some money for fun. You can find plenty of budget templates through online resources.

4. Establish an emergency fund.

More than a third of Americans 18 and older say they have no savings (excluding retirement savings), according to the 2014 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey. Rainyday savings can help you pay for emergencies - like an unexpected car repair or dental work - without forcing you into debt. What’s more, putting money into an emergency fund with every paycheck helps you form a savings habit, and can ease the emotional stress of worrying about financial emergencies.

5. Set financial goals.

Look back at 2014 and assess which goals you achieved and which need to be refreshed for 2015.

Consider what you did that helped you succeed in certain areas or where you might need to adjust. Evaluate where you most need to focus your attention. Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to do everything at once.

Instead, focus on one or two key financial goals.

6. Keep an eye on your credit.

Sixty percent of American adults

haven’t reviewed their credit score within the past 12 months, and 65 percent haven’t looked at their credit report, according to the Harris survey.

Credit is a vital element of overall financial health. Begin regularly reviewing your credit report and score - doing so does not negatively impact your score. Mint provides users with a free credit score and summary through its website and app. Knowing your credit status can help you better understand what you need to do to improve it.

Good credit not only affects your ability to secure future credit - such as credit cards or a mortgage - your credit score can influence what you pay for some forms of insurance, whether utilities might require you to provide a security deposit when opening a new account, and even your ability to get a good job if you apply with an employer who requires a credit check.

Good financial habits can make a lifetime of impact, so this New Year, no matter who you are, make the promise to yourself to be good with your money. Keeping these six money moves in mind, 2015 will be your best financial year yet.

On January 19, 2016 at 09:00 AM, on the front steps to the entrance of the Orange Civic Center, 300 E. Chapman, Orange, CA 92866, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on July 27, 2005, as Instrument No. 2005000582223, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, executed by SABRINA DAGOSTINO, A SINGLE WOMAN AND JOHN DAGOSTINO, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, AS TENANTS IN COMMON, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for BARRINGTON CAPITAL CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST 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: 216 21ST STREET, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92663 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 $1,734,670.18 (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, CA08001384-15-1. 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.
