LOCAL CHARITY PUSHES BACK, HELPS MILITARY FAMILIES
By Bob Crittendon, SCMFO volunteer. For several thousand north Camp Pendleton residents dealing with service cuts proposed from Washington, it is not so much a case of prevention as it is of healing. And this one may take a lot more than bandages. Here are the facts: There are almost 1,000 households in San Onofre housing, with around 10% of the families below the U.S. poverty level. Families are surprisingly strong and most have learned to live with deployments, frequent separations and relocations, and with their children typically adapting to six to eight different schools during their K to 12 grade schooling. Now, however, there’s a new elephant in the room. With sequestration and Pentagon belt tightening, recent proposals add threats of reducing insurance coverage, cutting commissary savings, increasing family housing costs, and capping wages below private sector wage increases. Some effects have already been felt. The onbase San Onofre Community Center, a social hub for family services, was realigned a year ago for camp administrative and training duties, and commissaries closed their doors last summer on furlough days. And,
as if things weren’t stressful enough, some commercial businesses like Burger King are being forced off military bases because of federal regulations on minimum wage. All things considered, if most of these reductions take place it will add an annual financial burden of several thousand dollars for each family. Enter San Clemente Military Family Outreach (SCMFO), a nonprofit aid organization founded 11 years ago for the dual purposes of providing emergency assistance to families and boosting morale for those housed in the north end of the base. They have done both, 1) giving thousands of dollars annually in financial and material asistance, as well as providing clothing, diapers, formula, gas, school supplies, and car repair during difficult times, and 2) planning and producing seasonal events, socials, tea parties, baby showers,Thanksgiving turkey giveaways and Christmas family assistance. “We are focused on the north (San Onofre) end of the military base,” explained Maria Jones, a military wife and SCMFO board member, “and residents here tend to be somewhat isolated from the mainside services in Oceanside. “ In view of the new pressures on families, the Outreach is stepping

S.M.A.R.T. Back-to-School Shopping School supply lists seem to get longer each year, and when you have more than one child to shop for, it can really add up. So it’s no surprise that just about everyone is looking for ways to shop smarter. In the most recent Back-to-School Shopping Forecast survey from PriceGrabber, 95 percent of shoppers will be using moneysaving techniques to get school supplies this year. The survey also found that: * 69 percent will shop online or use comparison shopping websites. * 52 percent plan to spend as much as they did last year, while 35 percent say they’ll spend less. * 55 percent will spread the cost of purchases over a longer period of time. When you’re ready to stock up on backpacks, notebooks and an endless supply of pens, use these tips to help you be a smart back-to-school shopper: S - Streamline your shopping. * Instead of driving all over town to get what you need, get as much as you can at one-stop-shops such as Office Depot. Picking up school supplies and classroom supplies - such as tissues, disinfectant wipes, etc. - saves you time and hassle. And it keeps you out of frustrating traffic. * Check the store’s website before you go - make sure it will have the supplies you need so you don’t waste time looking for something that’s not there. If what you need isn’t in-store, consider ordering online. M - Make a list. * Work with your child to craft your shopping list before hitting the stores. * Many retailers work with local PTAs and school districts to secure back-to-school shopping lists, making it easy to find exactly what your child needs. * Take an extra pen with you and have your child check off supplies as you get them. A - Ads and alerts. * To help you save money, pay attention to the weekly ad inserts in your local newspaper. Combining sale
prices with coupons saves you even more. Keep an eye out for super savings, such as Office Depot’s Penny Savers, when you can find many core supplies on sale for just a penny. * You can also sign up for special deal alerts through retailers’ websites and Facebook pages, giving you the scoop on extra savings. * If you want to avoid overfilling your email inbox, set up a separate email account just for retail alerts. R - Rewards and rebates. * Many retailers have rewards programs that let you in on extra savings. * Some retailers also have programs that help you earn school supplies for your school. For example, during the back to school season, parents and teachers can give back to communities through Office Depot’s “5% Back to Schools” program, in which 5 percent of purchases goes, in the form of a credit, to a designated school to use towards supplies. * To take advantage
of rebates, check manufacturer websites as well as retailer websites for the latest ways to get money back. T - Technology tips. * Keep your computers up to date with the latest virus and malware protection. * If your child will be doing online research for homework, you can put some parental controls in place to protect your child - check out Google SafeSearch, AOLParent Controls orATT Smart Controls, or with your current Internet provider. * You can see user and professional reviews of parental control software at www.consumersearch.com. Taking a little time to do your homework now will help you save time and money on school supplies when you’re ready to start shopping. To get the latest in back-to-school savings, visit www.officedepot.com. Photo courtesy of Getty Images

Tricks to instantly refresh your home design for end of summer entertaining Summer is the ideal time to host events at home with family and friends. But is your home ready for summer soirees? The kitchen is the heart of the home and where people naturally congregate, so it’s important it showcases your signature style and reflects the relaxed feeling of the summer season. Nate Berkus, designer shares kitchen design and entertaining tips to create inspired spaces and host memorable events. Summer in the kitchen Summertime is a great season to begin hosting friends and families, but you don’t need to completely redecorate your home every time you have company. It’s good to have several ideas on hand for your home that convey theupcoming season, notes Berkus. “Simple party themes, like hosting a burger bar outdoors for guests, or inviting everyone to bring in their favorite burger recipe, can be a great way to spice up your party and align it with the laid back feeling of summer.” Berkus also recommends decanting condiments into glass jars with fun labels. He notes, “This is a simple task that can make it easier to serve from, especially at outdoor parties or when hosting large groups. When you’re done, just snap the lid back on for a quick and effortless cleanup.” Entertaining We all dream about hosting a house full of people, but the stresses that come with entertaining can be daunting at times. Prepping early, especially in the kitchen, can cut the pressure and allow you to have some fun while hosting a party this summer. “It’s not enough for your guests to show up and have fun - you have to, too!” says Berkus. “Have all items for your meal prepped in advance, so that you can take time to sit, let the meal linger and the Page 6
conversation flow. Tomorrow you can sleep in.” Berkus recommends stocking up on kitchen essentials in neutral colors, so they are appropriate for any occasion. Linen placemats can work for any party; just add brighter solid napkins and you’re ready for that summer barbecue. The well-appointed kitchen “More than any other room in the house, the kitchen works best when it’s in order,” notes Berkus. “It should be intuitive. Having a largecapacity refrigerator with easily-adjustable shelving, is a great way to keep track of everything you’ve got in there.” If it’s been a while since you’ve gone through your cabinets, take an afternoon to sort through your kitchen necessities while keeping flow in mind. Pots should be closest to the stove, cutting boards and knives in close vicinity to the sink, and baking ingredients all grouped in one pantry area. If you have counter space, use a tray or large board to keep the utensils you use every day at arms’ reach from the stove for easy access. To increase functionality and reduce clutter so your home is always party-ready, consider creating a kitchen work station. Berkus suggests taking advantage of a roll of butcher paper hung on the wall that can function as a place to write notes and reminders while still looking elegant. The kitchen often becomes the crossroads of the home, a space you pass through a hundred times,” says Berkus. “To keep the piles and stacking to a minimum, I like incorporating trays or baskets on top of a rolling cart, which functions as the command center of the kitchen. It becomes the perfect place for my keys and sunglasses to land at the end of the day, as well as a place to organize mail and accessories for each member of the family.”
The San Clemente News
Technology As our world continues to become more centered on technology, people are wondering whether or not it has a place in the kitchen. The kitchen of today not only needs to be seamlessly designed, but also needs to be wired to meet all your technology demands. Berkus recommends incorporating several places to plug in within your kitchen. “If you’ve got a family, then it can escalate to a full on war when there’s limited plugs or USB ports in the wall. Consider a plug that allows for more than one device, or a charge pad that you can toss your device on and it does the rest.” If appliances are outdated and lack the functions you need, an upgrade can help make everyday tasks easier. Adding a high-end aesthetics to any kitchen, with timeless design and technological innovations that become the centerpiece in creating your signature kitchen. A Door-in-Door Refrigerator allows easy access to the outer compartment without opening the entire refrigerator door, allowing less cool air to escape to help keep your food fresher.

Tips for college-bound students Transitioning from high school to college is a big deal. Beyond the overwhelming college application process, many students wrestle with questions about their major, career goals, moving away from home and financing college expenses. Many college officials worry that high school students are not prepared for college. They say the key to a successful college experience is preparation. “College is about finding out what you love,” says Sean Wagner, associate vice president of Phi Delta Theta, an international fraternity serving more than 11,000 students. “Instead of looking back from where you came, you need to imagine where you’ll be and set your mind toward achieving those goals. A huge part of this is networking - connecting with other students, professors and alumni who believe in you and can help you toward establishing your career.” Preparing college students for a successful college experience is the focus of a free guidebook called “A College-Bound Guide to Achieving Your Dreams,” available at www. thegreatestu.com. Here are some other practical tips for college-bound students: Begin early. Don’t wait until your senior year in high school to start thinking about college and what
you want to do for a career. Start researching colleges and seeking informational interviews with people who are working in the career field that you’re interested in pursuing. Map out your goals and dreams. Think about where you want to be at commencement and work backwards. In other words, do you see yourself in a great job? Do you see yourself heading to law or medical school? Going into the military? Seek help from your college career center and find a trusted mentor in your career field who can offer insight and advice on your plan. Think networking. In college, you need to start building your professional network. Build relationships with classmates, professors, alumni and others you meet who can help connect you with potential employers. Open a Linkedin account to start building your professional profile. If you have a Facebook account, take greater care in what you post. Future employers regularly look at the Facebook profiles of potential candidates. Make your summers count. The students who graduate with jobs usually have one thing in common - they had internships and professorled research projects in the career field of their choice. Don’t wait until your senior year in college - start
building your resume with careerrelated part-time jobs, internships and research projects in your freshman year. Build relationships with professors. Having strong working relationships with your professors is critical to the early stages of your career development. Professors can write letters of recommendation for scholarships, summer research programs and grad school.-They also can serve as references in a job search. To connect with professors, start by getting to know upper classmen, who can offer advice about meeting professors and tapping your school’s career resources. Join professional societies. Clubs and student-led professional societies offer opportunities for students to learn more about their career path and meet professionals. Get familiar with college life. The more you can familiarize yourself with the college you’re attending, the more confident you’ll feel. If you can, visit the college campus before school starts and take part in orientation sessions. Get your financial house in order. Work with your parents and the school’s financial aid department to make sure all of your finances are in order before you start school. Open a checking account before
college starts with a debit card to manage money you’ll need for dining out, tickets and shopping. Learn budgeting skills and develop a plan to graduate with as little debt as possible. Surround yourself with people who will support you. Find people who have goals and aspirations similar to yours. A great place to start is fraternities and sororities. Contrary to pop culture perceptions, many fraternities and sororities offer fellowship, active participation in college activities and generally, opportunities to build your study skills. Use the summer before you start college to reach out to fraternities and sororities on campus to learn what they have to offer. Get involved. College is a great place to learn what you’re passionate about. If you enjoyed an activity in high school like student council or Model UN or if you love to go downhill skiing, start researching clubs and teams that you can join.

Here are just a few of the benefits of this little blue dynamo: +A half-cup of blueberries packs plenty of fiber, vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants into only 40 sweet calories. +Blueberries contain more disease-fighting antioxidants than red wine or green tea. +Half a cup of blueberries a day may help improve brain function. +Some scientific evidence suggests that blueberries may be beneficial for the skin. New skin care treatments include blueberry extracts to help revitalize the skin and hasten healing. +Blueberries provide the same bacteria fighters as cranberries to help guard against urinary tract infections. +You can enjoy fresh blueberries all year thanks to blueberries from Chile, where it’s summer during our winter time.

Best Beaches in Orange County
Where to Find the Best Beaches Along the Shores of Orange County, California
Laguna Beach
By Jim Shawt Being raised in Southern California, it was almost mandatory to become a surfer. I had an immediate attraction to the ocean because of the calming feeling I got from the salt air and the sound of the waves. In addition, I have been to almost every break from the Oregon coast to Ensenada Mexico, but I think that Orange County beaches are the best, hands down! In the 60s and 70s, the best beaches for surfing and sunbathing were in Los Angeles. But today the crowd has shifted south to Orange County, most likely due to water pollution. If you are visiting Southern California and looking for the right beach to visit, many of the locals will guide you to a crowded and not so attractive spot. This is because there are only a few spots that are not yet discovered…… well until now. The first break when you head south from Los Angeles is in Seal Beach. Seal Beach is situated at the border of LA and Orange County. Most people go to the Seal Beach Pier but just south from there is a little known spot called surfside. To reach surfside, drive south on Warner Ave, all the way to the beach,
Newport Beach
turn right immediately after you pass Jack-In-The-Box. Head all the way down and park when the street ends. There are many good surf spots and plenty of sand to find a good place to sunbathe. Heading south on PCH will take you to beautiful Huntington Beach. There are two good breaks in Huntington Beach. The first spot is called ‘the cliffs’, this beach can be reached by driving south on Goldenwest, then take a left on PCH (parking is available on the street). This beach is great to spend a sunny afternoon with family or friends. The other break in Huntington Beach that is worth visiting, is the Huntington Beach Pier. The pier is famous for professional surfing events and a hot spot for tourism. However, to beat the crowds, drive about 300 yards north of the pier. Park near the Taco Bell, hence the name ‘Taco Bell Reef’. However, if you’re looking for a beach with a party atmosphere, then head south to Newport Beach. You’ve probably have heard of Newport Beach from the popular TV show ‘the OC’. The beach I always frequent is secretly located in an upscale neighborhood. In fact, celebrities such as
Kobe Bryant and Dennis Rodman live there. Just head south on PCH till the road splits into two directions. Take a slight right onto Balboa Blvd. Now, take a quick right, and drive around. The best spots are from 45th St to 54th St. I love this place because there is something going on every day. Also, the city takes good care of the sand and the water is clean. The next stop on our tour is Laguna Beach. In its infancy years, the city was regarded as an artist colony. Today Laguna Beach is famous for its eclectic beachfront stores and great restaurants. The main strip will lead you to the pier, which is very crowded in the summer, but still it’s a great beach to visit. Aliso Beach Park features sandy beaches, rocky promontories, and scenic coastal foothills. These geological features combine to form one of the most recreationally appealing areas along the entire California coast. The park consists of two sections, the beach itself and an inland area surrounded by native coastal chaparral. Aliso Creek winds its way down from the Laguna foothills and empties into the sea. A marine
life refuge borders to the north and south, rocky outcroppings clearly mark the park boundary. These features plus the congenial Southern California climate make Aliso Beach Park an ideal place to visit. Capistrano Beach Park. Enjoy volleyball, basketball and other beach activities. During the summer months, a concession building offers fishing gear rental and sales, food and beverages, and beach supplies. Salt Creek Park Provides South County residents access to 18 acres of public beaches. The park consists of landscaped parking facility, sandy beaches, rocky promontories, and sheer cliffs. The original ravine canyon locally known as Salt Creek, makes the northerly boundary of the beach. Grading and landscaping have been completed in such a manner as to blend with the natural features, leaving the beach and cliff area basically undisturbed. Since 1937 San Clemente has been one of the most popular beaches in California. A dramatic setting and invigorating air satisfy its many visitors, whatever their interest, energy level or state of mind. The mile long beach stretches between the curling ocean surf and the foot of a steep bluff. Midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, the park attracts water sports enthusiasts and those seeking respite from the inland heat or an escape from nearby metropolitan areas. Orange County has a beach for everyone, from partygoers to the typical family man. Most the spots have free parking, which can be found in residential neighborhoods near the shore, i.e. avoid beaches where you have to drive through a pay booth. Well, bring a lot of sun tan lotion and have a great time!

Zoofari’s “Monkey Magic” Celebrate Successful Fundraiser
The San Clemente News
Board members Rosanne and Richard Bye with Debbie and Tom Newmeyer
Photos by Ann Chatillon The Friends of Santa Ana Zoo (FOSAZ), a non-profit organization, hosted the 22nd annual Zoofari fundraising black-tie gala for over 300 guests with the theme “Monkey Magic.” Zoofari takes place at one of the most inspiring venues in Orange County, the Santa Ana Zoo. Guests began the night being greeted by various animals and their docent “handlers”. An armadillo, rooster, goat and a millipede were just some of the many animals that welcomed everyone as they entered the Santa Ana Zoo. Guests were also privy to a sneak peak of the Ocelot Exhibit and Education Center. Darning “spotted hard hats” guests were able to see the progress of this exhibit which should be completed March 2015. Everyone enjoyed a first-class dining experience catered by Parties by Panache and a hosted bar including a special “50 Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” cocktail. Decorations were provided by R.W.B. Party Rentals creating a whimsical magical theme throughout the grounds of the Zoo. President David Exline, FOSAZ Executive Director Cathi Decker, Orange County’s favorite host, former SoCal PBS Anchor Ed Arnold was the Santa Ana City Council member Vince Sarmiento emcee for the evening with Glen Fladeboe as auctioneer for the live auction, assisted by FOSAZ Board Member Debbie Newmeyer. Special honorees this year include Knowlwood owners Thanh Nguyen, PhD, Ginger Nguyen and Tana Everhart and Ginna Nguyen, along with the Zoo’s vet and renowned animal specialist Scott Weldy, DVM. In 2010 the Nguyen family implemented the Knowlwood Café at the Zoo, which aims to enhance Zoo visitors’ experience with tasty and healthy fresh food at reasonable prices for full enjoyment of a trip to the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park. Weldy has been volunteering at the Santa Zoo since the mid 1980’s eventually becoming the back-up veterinarian for the Santa Ana Zoo in 1998 and the Veterinarian of Record for the Zoo in 2002. The event netted over $80,000 and this year they raised over $34,000 just in the silent auction area alone which is an all-time record for the event. The live auction netted over $20,000 which also includes $10,000 raised for a special Digital X-ray Machine. Some of the live auction items up for grabs were a GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition with a Phantom 2 Quadcopter; a one Honorees: Thanh Nguyen, PhD, Honoree Scott Weldy, DVM and week stay at Villa del Palmar Cabo San Lucas Beach Resort & Spa with airfare Ginger Nguyen, Tana Everhart and his wife Marie provided by Alaska Airlines; a gorgeous Michael Kors tote stuffed with 100 Ginna Nguyen California Scratchers and over $800 in cash; and a Palm Desert get-away including VIP Private Behind-the-Scenes Tour for four at the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens with a giraffe encounter. After the program, guests danced until midnight to the dynamic tunes of the “Groove Factory”. Valet parking service was underwritten by Peggy Baldwin Butler of Tudor House Productions. Zoofari is chaired by Cathi Decker and sponsored by FOSAZ, a non-profit organization which has helped support and improve the Zoo for over 32 years. Established in 1952, the Santa Ana Zoo is Orange County’s only AZA accredited Zoo and is recognized as signifying excellence and commitment to animal care and conservation. It is also home to more than 150 animals, including 50 of the most interesting and engaging monkeys and several endangered species.

Feeding Wildlife Can Do More Harm than Good Question: Our neighbor feeds wildlife three-day-old bread on a regular basis. The wildlife consists of deer, turkey, birds and other mammals. Although this neighbor has been told this is not good for the animals, she continues. What can be done to stop this person from feeding people food to wildlife? (Steve S.) Answer: While feeding human food to wildlife makes those people doing so feel good, in the long run it is often to the detriment of the animal recipients. Although many animals will eat stale bread when offered, temporarily satisfying their hunger, in reality, many human foods – especially bread – lack the protein and nutritional components animals need for good health. Although your neighbor may be well-intentioned, she is actually being very selfish. She’s hurting the wildlife and her neighbors by encouraging wild animals to get too comfortable around humans. When animals concentrate around food they are more likely to spread diseases to each other and to domestic pets. When wild animals lose their natural fear of humans they can become very aggressive. Coyotes, in particular,
are well-known for eating small pets because they do not differentiate between the food you leave for them and other prey items, like dogs and cats. People often think they are just feeding cute, furry critters, like squirrels and raccoons. If they were to put a surveillance camera out, they would likely be surprised to find out what’s actually eating the food at night. They would probably
be appalled to discover animals fighting over the food, and that they’re actually keeping the neighborhood rats fat and happy. In addition, there may be a local ordinance that bans feeding of some wild animals. Los Angeles County, for example, has an ordinance that prohibits feeding non-domesticated mammalian predators, including but not limited to, coyotes, raccoons, foxes and opossums.
Regarding deer, there is a statewide ban on feeding big game, which includes deer, bear, elk, antelope and bighorn sheep (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 251.3). You may want to contact a local game warden to report your well-meaning but stubborn and misguided neighbor. Her actions may cause her to be guilty of a misdemeanor, which may carry fines or even jail time.
In Napa Valley, a Community Rallies
HAPPY GRAPES
By David White John Trinidad, a wine industry attorney who lives on Main Street in Napa, was cleaning up from a party when his home started shaking. “At first, I thought it was a little roller,” he explained. “But then, it got pretty violent, with full-on shaking. I had already braced myself, so just kind of rode it out -- but heard a lot of things crashing around me. After the shaking stopped, I looked around and yep, a lot had come out of the cupboard -- broken glass, broken plates, lots of things on the ground.” The 6.0 magnitude earthquake that struck southern Napa County on August 24 was the strongest California had experienced in 25 years. The media quickly turned its
attention to wine -- and the economic impact of the quake. Although Napa Valley accounts for less than 4 percent of America’s total wine production, it’s the country’s bestknown wine region. And it’s a big moneymaker. The region’s wine industry has an economic impact of $50 billion annually. At its heart, though, Napa Valley is a working-class, farming community. And in the wake of the earthquake, brand Napa Valley -- $300 “cult” Cabernets, Michelinstarred restaurants, and the like -- was overshadowed by kinship and kindness. Alexandra Evans moved to the region from Washington, D.C., just nine months ago. She was floored by the generosity she witnessed. “People up north -- Calistoga, St. Helena -- really weren’t affected. But they were offering to help in any way they could,” she said. “Coming from a big city, you don’t necessarily expect to know your neighbors. Here, people loaded up their cars with food and water to help neighbors they’d never even met. The presence of community was impressive.” Evans proceeded to talk about all the activity she saw on social media.
On Facebook, Back Room Wines, a wine shop in downtown Napa, urged locals to bring by “stained and slightly damaged bottles” to share. “Talk about your week if you want, or just listen,” the invite urged. Cadet Wine & Beer Bar, a popular hangout that lost more than $15,000 in wine, took to Facebook and Instagram to invite locals by for beer. “We lost some wine but the beer taps are untouched,” the owners urged. “Come by today for beer on us.” As vintners posted heartbreaking photos, locals responded with an allhands-on-deck mentality. “Wineries offered tank space, barrels, forklifts -- even just elbow grease -- to the wineries that were hit,” Evans continued. Area wine writers like Elaine Brown of Hawk Wakawaka Wine Reviews and Fred Swan of NorCal Wine brought attention to charities offering housing, food, and other crisis relief. Esteemed winemaker Steve Matthiasson tweeted devastating photos. The earthquake sent all his 2013 barrels tumbling to the ground and forced his family to move out of their 1905 farmhouse. Yet when the Matthiassons turned to their
customers for support, it was to raise money for the Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund through a limited-release wine. As wine writer John Brooks noted in an email to friends, “This strikes me as extraordinary. At a time when they’ve suffered significant damage to their home and their business (just look at the pictures), the Matthiassons have chosen to prioritize others ahead of themselves.” Stories like this abound. After touring Napa’s wreckage for much of the morning on August 24, John Trinidad rested on his front porch with friends. As stories were shared, Matt Naumann, assistant winemaker at Failla, walked by with his young daughter. “How’d you guys do?” Trinidad asked. “Last night, we wiggled!” replied Naumann’s daughter, dancing to animate the answer. For Trinidad, the response was deeply insightful. “To see a kid with that reaction was perfect,” he explained. “We’re all healthy. No one is hurt. Napa is an amazingly strong, resilient community. We’ll be okay.”

Two small museums, shopping galleries, and eating areas are sure to make this location a hot surfing spot in So-Cal. Seal Beach Pier: Seal Beach is among the top Long Beach Southern California Surf spots. It has pier breaks surrounded by sandbar reef. Its rivermouth wave comes from the right and the left to break in any type of conditions, especially when in a Page 16

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 277-4845 or visit this Internet Web Site www.usaforeclosure.com, using the file number, 14CA00206-1, assigned to this case.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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 and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.
