SB breweries honored in national beer competition By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara is known for its stellar wines that are harvested from the Santa Ynez Valley above, but the coastal city also has hops — you know, for brewing beer. Santa Barbara-based breweries Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. and Third Window Brewing Co. placed in the 2021 Great American Beer Festival competition this weekend. The competition, presented by the Brewers Association, targets the best beers in 97 categories. Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. won gold in the American brown lager category for the “Davy Brown Ale” and took home a second gold medal for its amber ale “Meat Sweats.” Figueroa Mountain won silver for its Danish red lager and German dark lager “Schwarz is the new Black.” The company has claimed 29 medals over 11 years of competition. “Winning this year was extra special,” founder Jaime Dietenhofer said in a news release. “Not only was this the Please see BREWERIES on A4

Milpas Street may be getting its first large apartment complex, a virtual high rise by Santa Barbara standards, as the Santa Barbara City Council hears changes to a project proposed on the corner of Milpas and Ortega streets. The City Council will hold a public hearing during its 2 p.m. meeting Tuesday before it decides if it will approve a development agreement between the city and 711 N. Milpas Partners L.P. The city approved a mixed-use proposal of 711 N. Milpas in 2019, but the new property owners have a different vision for a 82-unit building. The original design had modern architecture, but current plans embrace the Spanish Mediterranean facade of the neighborhood. The owners also hope to raise the building’s height. Some portions will measure a maximum of 52 feet. The City has a maximum height limitation of 45 feet, but projects deemed to have a community benefit may extend up to 60 feet with approval. The original proposal had 76 rental housing units, and the new developers increased plans to 82 one- and two-bedroom units. Of those, 16 units are designated as affordable to moderate-income households. The Planning Commission reviewed the project, and added the definition of moderated income as “generally households with incomes between 80% and 120% of area median income.” It also required that the number of affordable oneand two-bedroom units is proportional to the total number. The owners have voluntarily agreed to “use reasonable and good faith efforts” to give preference to teachers, health care workers and first responders. There is a proposed 1,365 square feet of commercial space, down from an original 2,737 square feet. The project needs special approval for parking, including setback modifications to allot for 13 parking spots along the Ortega Street setback. Plans include six commercial parking spots, as required, and 54 units will receive one parking spot. Parking lifts will provide two spots for 22 units. The remaining six units, the number of one-bedroom affordable units (coincidence or not), will only have dedicated parking during nights and weekends. During weekday hours, it will be designated as 90-minute commercial parking. The City and the Planning Commission recommends the approval of the development agreement. Should that happen, there are more steps for the developer. The Planning Commission will look at the proposed height, setback modifications for parking and parking modification and grant or deny exceptions. The Architectural Board of Review issues a design approval and final approval. The Planning Commission and ABR’s decisions may be appealed. Tuesday’s meeting also includes an update on the temporary safe shelter pilot program. The meeting will be broadcast live on City TV Channel 18 and online at santabarbaraca.gov/citytv. Attendees may participate in the meeting virtually by going to attendee.gotowebinar.com/ register/5144703284247928080.

News-Press supports recall, endorses Larry Elder Vote YES on the recall of Gavin Newsom — possibly the WORST governor the state has ever had. We need an adult leader who doesn’t have two sets of rules — “one for me and one for thee.” We need a leader who will bring this state back from the depths of disaster. Vote for LARRY ELDER. His brilliance and commonsense solutions will save California from the terrible state we are now in — from the “homelessness” problems to the education system and everything in between that has been ruined by prior governors.

Warriors, fueled by packed house, Defeat Lions in Four Sets By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

No. 15 Westmont (8-5, 2-0) fed off the energy of a packed Murchison Gym Saturday night and defeated Vanguard (4-1, 1-1) in four sets. The Warriors bested the Lions in four by a score 25-17, 21-25, 25-21 and 25-19 in the Montecito match. “The fans definitely earned us some points,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “They were excited tonight, and their excitement allowed us to have some of our own. It was so nice to have such a big turnout.” In the first set, Westmont gave the packed house something to cheer about immediately, as the club opened with a 4-0 run highlighted by a pair of kills by Phoebe Minch. The Lions were quick to quiet the roar of the crowd, going on a 6-2 run to tie things at six apiece. Clinging on to an 11-10 lead, Westmont had a three-point rally featuring kills by Sara Krueger, Jessie Terlizzi and Taylor Distelberg to take a four-point lead going into a Vanguard timeout. The next time the Lions took a timeout, they were trailing Westmont 20-15, thanks to NAIA All-American Lexi Malone’s first kill of the season. Moments later, Westmont took set one 25-17. Minch collected five kills during the set while Terlizzi added four. “One of the things I kept telling the setters was ‘you have to feed the middles’,” said McGolpin. “Both Sara and Lexi caught fire as the night went on and that was awesome. Their play opened things up for Audrey, Phoebe, and Jessie later on.” The two sides traded the first 18 points of

the second set, with neither getting breathing room before they hit double-digits. The stalemate continued as the score was tied 1414 before Vanguard scored twice to take a 1614 lead. Following a service ace that made the score 18-15 in favor of Vanguard, McGolpin called a timeout. Down 23-18, Westmont went on a three-point run thanks in large part to excellent serving by Minch, causing the Lions to call a timeout. Out of the timeout, Westmont gave a point back to the Lions on a free-ball that fell between a pair of Warriors, and one serve later, Vanguard took the second set, 25-21. Westmont opened up the third set on a 4-0 run thanks to a pair of kills by Audrey Brown and another by Malone. Vanguard pulled with one when the score was 11-10, before a 5-1 run by the Warriors built the lead back to 16-11. Vanguard pulled within two at 21-19, but Westmont ultimately rode one last rally to a 2521 set win and a 2-1 advantage. Malone led the Warriors with five kills during the set. In set four, Westmont opened things up with a 5-0 run, but saw its lead disappear when Vanguard got hot and tied things at seven soon after. After finding themselves down 8-7, McGolpin called the first timeout of the set. Out of the timeout, Westmont responded with a 6-2 run to take back the lead going into a Lions timeout. Up 13-10, Westmont kept its foot on the gas and eventually built the lead to 20-15 after another kill by Brown. Up 24-19, the crowd rose to its feet and erupted when Minch’s 13th kill of the match ended the night, and gave Westmont a 3-1 win. “We are stoked to get out of this week 3-0, and 2-0 in conference play,” said McGolpin. “It has been a hard-fought week, and tonight it

was really nice to get a few of our key players back.” Terlizzi tallied 13 kills, along with Malone who added 10 of her own. Five Warriors collected at least eight kills during the match. “It is important to spread the offense,” said McGolpin. “We had four middles playing with Lexi, Sara, Taylor and Audrey, so we had to adjust our lineup quite a bit. Specifically, I thought Audrey Brown stepped up big and got us some huge kills.” Keelyn Kistner and Sydny Dunn each had 21 assists, while libero Lilian Reininga led the club with 22 digs in what McGolpin called Reininga’s best game so far at Westmont. “The 6-2 offense is our bread and butter here at Westmont, so having both of our setters back tonight was a big lift,” McGolpin said. “Having that 6-2 offense is a staple of our game, and tonight it allowed us to spread the wealth offensively.” The club will now spend the rest of the month on the road, playing four-consecutive GSAC matches away from Murchison Gym before returning home Oct. 1. First up on the agenda is a trip to Arizona next weekend, where the club will take on Arizona Christian and OUAZ on back-to-back nights. “We have to continue to push ourselves and work hard,” said McGolpin, “because the season never gets any easier. Being on the road the entire rest of the month will be a test, and we’ll do our best to be ready for it.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP San Marcos places third SAN LUIS OBISPO — The San Marcos girls volleyball team finished third at the San Luis Obispo invitational Saturday. The Royals beat teams from Clovis North, Oaks Christian and Arroyo Grande before falling in the semifinals to Clovis North 16-14 in what Coach Dwayne Hauschild called “an absolute battle.” Coach Hauschild praised several of the Royals for fantastic performances: Eloise McGibben, Riley Green and Lily Blankenhorn. “But extra credit goes to Ava Cole, who was unfortunately lost to injury in the semifinal game but was solid all weekend and was awarded All Tournament honors for her terrific efforts in leading the Royals to this fantastic finish.” — Dave Mason

UCSB defeats Northwestern LARAMIE, Wyo..— UCSB volleyball player Tallulah Froley has reason to smile. She enjoyed her third straight 15-plus kill match Saturday when the Gauchos defeated Northwestern in Laramie, Wyo. Froley led all players with a whopping 16 kills. Not bad at all, and it sets a positive stage for the UCSB women’s volleyball team as it gears up for next weekend’s Thunderdome Classic.

On Saturday, UCSB defeated Northwestern with the Gauchos winning 27-25, 25-19 and 25-16. Northwestern won only one set, 25-20. Gauchos athletes Michelle Ohwobete and Abrielle Bross each had 10 kills, according to a UCSB news release. Ohwobete collected nine digs, and Bross hit a perfect 10-0-20 clip. Rowan Ennis picked up another eight blocks, giving her a total of 22 for the weekend. Ohwobete, Macall Peed and Grace McInosh sent down two aces. At the Thunderdome Classic, UCSB will host a trio of matches with Washington State and VCU. — Dave Mason

SBCC water polo players succeed in SLO SAN LUIS OBISPO — The women’s water polo team from Santa Barbara City College made a big splash at Cuesta Invitational with a 3-1 record. The Vaqueros’ string of victories continued with a 16-2 defeat of Fresno on Friday and a 15-4 win over Diablo Valley on Saturday. The single loss came when West Valley defeated City College 12-5 in the Vaqueros’ final game for the weekend. Next weekend, City College will play several games at the RCC Tournament hosted by Citrus College. — Dave Mason

Carpinteria places third at water polo tournament MALIBU — The Carpinteria boys water polo team finished in third place at the 20th Annual Varsity Water Polo Tournament, which took place Thursday through Saturday at Malibu High School. “The Warriors took a tough loss at the hands of Northern California powerhouse Los Gatos Wildcats in the second period of sudden death overtime with a score 7-8,” Coach Jon Otsuki said in an email to the News-Press. “It was the first loss of the season for the Warriors as they struggled to find a rhythm offensively, and the Wildcats took advantage of forced passes and misplaced shots from the perimeter. “The Warriors and Wildcats had similar game strategy, which contributed to the close score throughout the contest,” he said. Asher Smith and Mateo Handall accounted for all 7 of the Warriors’ goals, Smith with 4 and Handall scoring 3. “Goalie Jacob Taff had an amazing 18 blocks,” Coach Otsuki said. The Warriors won their final battle for third place in their match with the Agoura High School Chargers, during which Carpinteria was ahead 7-2 by the end of the half. Despite some trouble during the third quarter, the Warriors remained ahead 12-6 with key contributions from the bench, Coach Otsuki said. The final score was Carpinteria, 12; Agoura, 9.

Lead scorer again for the Warriors was Asher Smith with 4, followed by Justin Main and Reyn Clayton with 2 apiece and Ian Thomas, Augie Sheaffer and Gavin Lohuis, each with one. The Warriors will face off against the Foothill Tech Dragons on Tuesday in Carpinteria. — Dave Mason

most competitive GABF ever, it was coming off a challenging year for the entire brewing industry and the world. We are so grateful to have our beers recognized at this level and are excited about bringing recognition to beer and breweries on the Central Coast.” Head Brewer Kevin Ashford expressed a similar sentiment. “This never gets old, but it gets tougher every year. It’s great to see the Central Coast represented. Hopefully more attention is brought to the great breweries right here in

our backyard,” he said. Third Window Brewing Co. won gold in the international dark lager category for “The Dark.” It is the company’s second consecutive medal. “It is extremely tough to win anything at this competition and to win a medal for the second year in a row is very gratifying and humbling,” said founder Kris Parker. Judging spanned 17 days, and 170 judges evaluated the 9,680 entries from 2,192 breweries. Entries from across the United States were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals at the Bellco Theatre in Denver Friday evening during the Craft Brewers Conference. The

ceremony was broadcast on the Brewing Network. “Despite being forced to cancel the festival portion of GABF, our brewing community rallied together to make this year’s GABF competition one for the books — our largest competition judged to date,” said Chris Swersey, competition director, Great American Beer Festival. “Judges continue to be impressed with the quality and innovation of all entries they evaluated.

Avengers, assemble! Fans meet their heroes in new Disney California Adventure land By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Spider-Man stands ready to swing into action. And Thor walks by with the hammer that he alone (at least in theory) can lift. Nearby, a sign on a building says, “Stark Industries,” and there’s a Shawarma Palace food stand that Iron-Man loves. Welcome to Avengers Campus. Fans enter the newest part of Disney California Adventure by walking on — no offense, Tony Stark — a giant version of IronMan’s heart. A giant arc reactor, much bigger than the one that saved Tony’s life and powered his Iron-Man suit, is embedded into the concrete. That sets the stage for a Marvel Comics land that is carefully themed, as the News-Press learned during a recent visit. Now, yes, it’s true SpiderBots have threatened the area. Fortunately, Spider-Man has protected everyone by webbing the nasty robots to walls of buildings. But listen carefully: The Spider-Bots are trying to escape! There’s only one thing to do. You can go on the WEB Slinger ride and stop the Spider-Bots before they wreck havoc. The News-Press talked with one young man, who compares the interactive attraction to Toy Story Mania. When the News-Press visited, there was no line outside the WEB Slinger attraction, but there actually is a wait. Fans get on the ride by clicking onto the Disney app on their smartphone and “standing” in a virtual queue. You “jump” into the line by clicking onto the app at 7 a.m. or noon. Off in the distance on Avengers Campus, you’ll see Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!, the re-themed version of Tower of Terror. Fans fall to great lengths to enjoy this ride! And while it was built long before Avengers Campus, its proximity made it easy to include it in Disney California Adventure’s newest land. Formerly, it was on the edge of Hollywoodland. There’s a precedent for “moving” large attractions. Over in Disneyland, the Matterhorn was originally in Tomorrowland before Disney decided it was a better fit for Fantasyland. (In 1959,

one guide listed Matterhorn in Tomorrowland, and another said it was in Fantasyland.) The Guardians of the Galaxy tower leaves fans screaming with delight as they experience sudden drops. And now through

Halloween, it’s re-themed at night with monsters. For something more down to Earth, there’s Pym Test Kitchen, where food takes all kinds of sizes in the spirit of the original AntMan, Hank Pym. Once you enter

the restaurant, you’ll see Disney is taking this seriously. A tunnel similar to the one Hank Pym uses to reach the quantum universe is suspended above people. You order your food from

scientists in lab coats. And there’s experimentation with sizes. Some fans bought giant pretzels. The New-Press recommends the Not So Little Chicken Sandwich, which is similar to a Parmesan chicken. The fried chicken breast is much bigger than the brioche buns on which it rests, which makes sense in the Ant-Man

universe. The dish includes teriyaki and red chili sauces and a pickled cabbage slaw (with cilantro). Other menu items vary from a PB3 Super Sandwich (essentially a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with banana and candied bacon), Impossible Spoonful (pastas with the Impossible plant-based Please see AVENGERS on B2

meatballs), and Caesar Salad and Colossal Croutons. Avengers Campus boils down to one restaurant, one food stand, gift shops and two rides. That’s pretty much the Disney model for its new lands, and the theming is outstanding. There’s a jet sitting on top of Avengers headquarters, where fans can run into everyone from the Black Panther to Captain Marvel and Black Widow. Don’t be surprised to see the heroes go into action on top of the building. And if you want to encounter Doctor Strange, you can enter the

Ancient Sanctum and learn about the mystic arts. Avengers Campus opened in June and has remained a big hit. But Disney made one modification because of the pandemic. SpiderMan and other costumed heroes are willing to greet fans and have their photos taken with them, but the heroes stand more than 6 feet away, often behind a low fence or barrier. This is the Disney practice for its characters throughout its two Anaheim parks. And you’ll notice something missing from Avengers Campus or any other of DCA or Disneyland. There are no more fast passes at any of the attractions. But wait times are short on

Aries

into action.

Feeling a little feisty, Aries? Mars, your ruling planet, charges into Libra and your sector of partnership this Tuesday. Watch out for irritation and strife in one-on-one interactions starting this week and for the next six or so. While you may thrive off of conflict, your relationships may not.

Libra

Taurus

Scorpio

It’s time to clean house— literally. Mars rolls into Libra and your area of habits on Tuesday. Are you happy with your present schedule? Keeping up with your chores or the gym? If not, no worries! These next few weeks of Libra Mars are giving you the opportunity to overhaul your lifestyle completely.

This week may find you rolling in the deep, Scorpio. On Tuesday, Mars creeps into Libra and your sector of secrets and the unconscious. Some inner turmoil may be in the forecast for the next few weeks. But fear not! We all experience a little rain before the sunshine, and Thursday, things brighten up for a bit.

Gemini

Sagittarius

Let the games begin, Gemini. On Tuesday, Mars slides into Libra and your zone of fun and creativity. If you’ve been experiencing any kind of creative block, Mars is here to plow through it! Starting this week until the planet goes into Scorpio in a month-and-a-half, you’re being guided to center your joy.

You’ve been putting in that work, Sagittarius. With the sun’s trine to Pluto in Capricorn on Thursday, your boss and coworkers will be recognizing the massive efforts that you’ve been making. Been feeling a little lacking in support? Have no fear! With Mars’ entrance into Libra and your social sector, your network will begin to grow over the next few weeks.

This week’s focus is right in your neck of the woods, Cancer. The planet of action is settling into Libra and your sector of home, so your family is definitely on your mind.

Leo You’re just full of ideas this week, Leo. With Mars in Libra crossing into your sector of communication and thought processes, there’s not a problem that you can’t solve. Remember to pass the mic, though!

Virgo As Mars marches into Libra, this week sprinkles your musings with a dash of luxury, Virgo. But that’s okay! The last few weeks have seen you intensely focused on your presentation—who you are and how you feel about yourself. With the planet of action shifting into Libra, you can begin to put some of your conclusions

Capricorn Let’s face it, work has always been life for you, Capricorn, but as Mars rolls into Libra and your zone of career on Tuesday, you may be completely immersing yourself in your work.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Occupied Japan period produced whimsical collectibles

hat is this little wooden bird that stands about 7 inches tall? His head comes off, and there’s a deep scoopedout area and a hole in its hindquarters. This is a tobacco pipe holder, and it was made for export in Occupied Japan. Which brings me to a fascinating era of cross fertilization, during the winter of 1947 to the spring of 1952, when American forces occupied the defeated Japanese country and economy. The period is called Occupied Japan. You will see the following objects from that period, and they are characterized by a kitschy kind of whimsical look made for the American servicemen, at first. Then the products were exported to the American dime store industry as the Japanese economy and industry grew. The period produced thousands of reproductions of Hummel figurines and thousands of toothpick holders in all shapes. And many of these toothpick holders would be considered politically incorrect today. The Japanese industry produced figurines that looked a little like Meissen (German 18thcentury, porcelain lady figures, and their courtiers), tea sets, demitasse sets, vases, planters, Toby Mugs in the manner of Royal Doulton, cheap ceramic headed dolls, metal lighters, metal toys in thin cardboard boxes, ashtrays, black Americana in ceramic figurines (I said politically incorrect, didn’t I?), kitschy lamps and dinner services with European style flower patterns. In essence, it was a mass of what we used to call Five and Dime material. What happened to Japan, once the world leader in the porcelain industry, was that the economy after the war was horrific. The American forces were charged with helping rebuild the Japanese economy, and the American Occupying Force General Headquarters, the administrative

arm of the force, specified that American interests would help rebuild the ceramics industry in Japan. Because of this, half of all items produced would be exported to the U.S., with the stamp “Made in Occupied Japan.” Sometimes these wares were stamped (always under the glaze) simply this: “Occupied Japan.” If you have an export from Japan and it is ceramic or porcelain that is earlier than 1945, it might say “Nippon,” and if it is later than 1952, you will see a foil paper label that says “Japan.” One of the most fascinating lines of objects to come out of Occupied Japan were objects made to capture the interest and pocketbooks of the GI’s stationed there. This is an area that is collected by those who do collect Occupied Japan material, and it features tobacco-related trinkets, because GI’s tended to smoke. So we find lighters made of tin with erotic images, and little wooden birds made to hold pipes. Ash trays with all kinds of scenes were also popular, and for a few bucks a GI could collect souvenirs to take home. And boy, did they take these things home — in droves. This era was fascinating because of the cultural overlay between the ancient artistry of porcelain and ceramic art in Japan through the ages, and what the American administration thought would be purchased by Americans. Thus, porcelain — a treasure of Japan — was, during the Occupied Japan period, debased to form toothpick holders and ash trays,

Classiﬁed

often with images and scenes that would appeal to the American market. Thus, after the first wave of souvenir material made for the GI’s, Japanese ceramic factories made objects that flooded Woolworth, Kresge’s and similar dime stores back home. It’s a little before my time, but I do remember my older cousins collecting little Dutch Girl figurines from the Woolworth’s in Deerfield, Ill. They were marked “Made in Occupied Japan.” So inexpensive were these little trinkets that the term “Made in Japan” tended to mean that something was cheaply made. Not anymore. And that is a great thing. Today, the top designs, the top brands of porcelain and the finest of the fine in ceramics (not to mention technology and automotive design) are from Japan. But the previous period of Occupied Japan, with its many forms of objects made for American consumption, tells the story of an occupation that was fraught with sad images and forms of a once wonderful art form. That period was sad, but shortlived. Collectors would pay $150 for the little pipe holder. And the era for collecting this material, because of the political incorrectness of many of the images and forms, is in the past. The 1980s was the heyday for collecting. Today materials marked “Occupied Japan” bring half of what they did in the 1980s. Thankfully! Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over present-day constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

On 09/29/2021 at 01:00PM At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, Old Republic Title Company, a California corporation, as the duly appointed Trustee under the Deed of Trust recorded on 12/28/1990, as Instrument No. 90083301, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SANTA BARBARA County, California, executed by: CYPRESS TREE APARTMENTS, INC., A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION, as Trustor, State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, as Lender/Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States by cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in the state) all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County, California, describing the land therein: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1200 PUNTA GORDA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 0125002110. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 0125002110 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. This property which is subject to this Notice of Sale does not fall within the purview of California Civil Code Section 2923.5.
