Luxury horse barn New Fairfield Farm brings East Coast style to Santa Ynez

Space history being made today Blue Origin flight means several firsts By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The time has finally come for Wally Funk, a woman who dreamed of going into outer space and proved way back in 1961 she had the right stuff. Ms. Funk, 82, who was part of an unofficial female astronaut program during NASA’s infancy and did well in tests, will go up into space today with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos and 18year-old Oliver Daemon of The Netherlands. Today, Ms. Funk will become the oldest astronaut in history; Mr. Daemon, the youngest. The flight comes a little over a week after Virgin Galactic’s Sir Richard Branson beat Jeff Bezos with one not-so-small step in making space history as the first space company billionaire to soar into space. Today Blue Origin crew will

The new Fairfield Farm in Santa Ynez includes a two-story barn with 30 stalls.

A new equestrian facility is set to open next month in Santa Ynez, bringing an East Coaststyle luxury club to equestrians on the Central Coast. The new Fairfield Farm sits on about 20 acres and includes a two-story barn with 30 stalls, an Olympic-regulation size dressage ring

and a large grass field. The property is also surrounded by a wire mesh barrier to protect horses and riders from gophers. ClaudeLee “Elee” Johnson, a Santa Ynez Valley resident, has worked on renovating the property for two years. During the renovation process, Ms. Johnson flattened every stall, installed new plumbing and electricity, and rubber-matted the entire

take off in their New Shepard spacecraft on top of a rocket from Van Horn, Texas. The flight is scheduled for 6 this morning Pacific time, although weather or technical checks could delay it. The rocket won’t soar at warp speed, but it will still be very fast — more than three times the speed of sound. They’ll go up to the edge of space, make some history in microgravity and come back down, not unlike what Alan Shepard did during his suborbital flight when he became the first American astronaut in space on May 5, 1961. The surroundings are better, though. The one-man Mercury capsules were a tight fit and had a small window, which it wouldn’t have had if the astronauts hadn’t insisted.

Growing up on the East Coast, Ms. Johnson learned to ride and show horses at some of the country’s top riding clubs, including the Ox Ridge Hunt Club in Connecticut and Old Salem Farm in New York.

1972. While he intended to work with poor children in Oakland, he ultimately decided to move to Santa Barbara and work with the CEC. As he stood on Stearns Wharf during a 2019 interview, Mr. Conklin told the News-Press that the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill changed his life. He was visiting Santa Barbara at the time to see a cousin, and it was just a few days after the spill. “I would never had thought about doing any of those (environmental) things if not for the day I walked down here and saw that,” he said, looking at East Beach and remembering the oilsoaked birds he saw in 1969.

Montecito listing named HGTV finalist

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has reported the death of an inmate at the county Main Jail. Raquel Zick, the public information officer, said that at approximately 2:20 p.m. Saturday, the custody staff, while conducting a routine security check, found Kean Ardie San Juan Pinon, 35, of Santa Maria unresponsive in his housing unit. Ms. Zick said Mr. Pinon was alone and hanging from a bedsheet fashioned as a ligature in an apparent suicide attempt. In a news release, Ms. Zick said custody staff immediately provided aid and called for jail medical staff and paramedics to respond. Mr. Pinon was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where he died approximately an hour later. Mr. Pinon’s next of kin have been notified. “Although this appears to be an apparent suicide, the Sheriff’s Office is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident,” Ms. Zick said in the news release. “The Sheriff/Coroner’s Office will conduct further investigation to determine the cause and manner of his death.” Mr. Pinon was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on July 12, 2021, at 10:56 a.m. for an on-view arrest by the Santa Maria Police Department on a charge of residential burglary, a Santa Barbara County warrant issued for a probation violation on charges of possession of controlled substances in a jail, a Santa Barbara County warrant issued for a probation violation on charges of grand theft, and a court remand for possession/purchase of narcotics for sales. — Dave Mason

Home For the Brave Act reintroduced U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, and U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pennsylvania, reintroduced the Home For The Brave Act of 2021 on Monday. The bill would exempt veterans’ VA disability benefits from counting toward total income when determining their eligibility for housing assistance programs through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The bipartisan bill earned the endorsement of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans, Military Officers Association of America, and the National Coalition for the Homeless, according to Rep. Carbajal’s office. “It is wrong to deny veterans access to housing assistance programs due to disability benefits they receive for service-related injury or illness,” Rep. Carbajal said in a news release. “I am glad to work across the aisle on this legislation to assist our veterans experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity on the Central Coast and across the country. They stepped up to defend our nation, and now Congress must step up for them by ending this egregious housing discrimination against our disabled veterans.” “Our veterans have put their lives at great risk to keep all of us safe back home. To return home and be priced out of housing assistance simply because they receive service-related disability benefits is just plain wrong,” said Rep. Smucker. “Our district has made great strides to eliminate veteran homelessness, and I am proud to stand with my constituents in this noble effort. I want to thank Rep. Carbajal for his work on behalf of our nation’s veterans and their families and look forward to working together to get this legislation passed.” — Dave Mason

Woman to become oldest person ever in space

DUNCAN, McKinley Lee “Nick”

McKinley Lee “Nick” Duncan passed away peacefully July 1st, 2021 at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. Nick was a longtime resident of both Lompoc and City of Santa Barbara. He retired from The University of California, Santa Barbara after serving for 19 years. Nick is survived by his wife of 34 years, Dorothy Duncan; 2 children, Janet and Nicky Duncan; 4 grandchildren, Shekinah Henderson (Michael), Van’Nessa Allen, Nikki and Quincy Duncan , 13 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, greatnieces and great-nephews. Nick will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held, Friday July 23, 2021 at Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapel, 15 E. Sola St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101 at 11:00 AM.

SPACE

Continued from Page A1 reportedly has the largest windows of any space capsule in history and can comfortably sit six astronauts. And unlike Mr. Shepard, today’s astronauts won’t be wearing helmets and spacesuits. The cabin is fully pressurized, and Mr. Bezos told CBS News that the crew will simply be wearing flight suits. Unlike Mr. Shepard’s historic flight, today’s launch won’t be attracting a nearby crowd. There are no public viewing areas. And unlike the old Mercury missions, Blue Origin’s rocket booster is reusable. (So is the capsule.) The booster is designed to make a slow, soft landing. To think, all of this flying up into space and back began with a chimpanzee. The first hominid in space was a chimpanzee named Ham, who represented America when he flew on the Mercury-Redstone mission on Jan. 31, 1961. You can see his capsule at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, along with one of the two-men Gemini capsules. The U.S. lost the race to put the first human in space. That honor went to Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who completed one orbit of the Earth on April 12, 1961. But around this time, Ms. Funk of today’s Blue Origin crew was reaching for the stars — or at least the Earth’s orbit. The Las Vegas native and professional aviator — in fact, she was the first female flight instructor at a U.S. military base (the Army’s Fort Sill) — became part of the “Mercury 13” when she volunteered in February 1961 for the Women in Space program. At age 21, she was the youngest of the 13 in the program run by William Randolph Lovelace. (It wasn’t officially sanctioned by the government, but the women hoped to be considered to be astronauts.) Like the other women, Ms. Funk was put through rigorous training and tests such as being placed in a sensory deprivation tank. She did well in the tank, staying there for a whopping 10 hours and 35 minutes. Her score was the third best in the program, which was canceled before the women underwent their last test. In the late 1970s, NASA started accepting women — after considerable recruitment efforts by “Star Trek” star Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), who brought women and minorities into the astronaut program. Ms. Funk applied three times, but was turned down not for having a background as a test pilot or an engineering degree. But Ms. Funk kept making history anyway, as the first female Federal Aviation Administration flight inspector and the first female National Transportation Safety Board air safety investigator. She also logged more than 19,000 flight hours. Today, Ms. Funk breaks the record of being the oldest astronaut, which John Glenn set at age 77 when he rode on the space shuttle in 1998. (The late Sen. Glenn, of course, is forever known as the first American to complete an orbit of the Earth. To be accurate, he went around the planet three times.) That’s a lot of history riding in today’s flight. When Blue Origin returns to Earth, it will be in a free fall before it makes use of a set of parachutes. Instead of making a splashdown, the capsule will land softly, with the help of a brief burst of its thrusters to slow its descent, onto the desert. That’s similar to what the Soyuz capsules have done since the start of the U.S.-Soviet space race. If all goes as expected, today’s astronauts will show they have the right stuff (to borrow “The Right Stuff” author Tom Wolfe’s term) — and the stuff of science fiction. Novelists such as Robert Heinlein accurately predicted the rise of private, commercial space flights, and Mr. Branson, Mr. Bezos and Elon Musk are working to launch space tourism. Like Mr. Branson, Mr. Bezos and his fellow astronauts will float a bit in a weightless environment as they make some history. Mr. Musk’s SpaceX will be part of that history when it launches the first fully private-crewed mission in September. And Mr. Musk already has bought a ticket to go up on one of Mr. Branson’s Virgin Galactic flights. That’s a lot of history in the making, and who knows? Maybe warp speed isn’t that far behind.

Owner hopes to breed high-end horses at facility BARN

Continued from Page A1 class of an East Coast barn to the region. After purchasing a property in the Santa Ynez Valley in 2019, that dream is becoming a reality with the opening of the Fairfield Farm on Aug. 1. With the opening of the new barn, Ms. Johnson told the News-Press that she’s hoping to create a community where riders can come and enjoy a nice community of equestrians and horses, just like she experienced in other clubs on the East Coast. “What I would like is a barn with some borders that share the same viewpoint, that enjoy the sport,” Ms. Johnson said. “Either they want to learn how to ride and improve and enjoy their time here. And just have fun.” In addition to creating a community of riders in Santa Ynez, Ms. Johnson also hopes to breed

high-end horses at the new farm. She said many locals who own horses tend to purchase from European countries, like Germany, England and Czechoslovakia, so she wants to be a local outlet for individuals to purchase horses stateside. “I want to breed and train my own horses so that people who are looking into those better bred horses, well-bred horses come to me instead of going online or to Europe,” Ms. Johnson said. “I mean, I think that you have to ride a horse when you go to buy it. You have to see it (in person). I think you have to spend time with it.” Membership at the barn starts at $1,500 for boarders and increases depending on whether boarders desire full care and training. Ms. Johnson will also be offering private lessons on site for both children and adult riders. For more information on membership and the new barn, visit fairfield.farm/index.html.

T U E S DAY, J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 21

t takes just a quarter of a mile to hike to the top of the world. At least, it feels like the top of the world at Lizard’s Mouth Rock in Las Padres National Forest, just above Goleta. After hiking a short trail, you get a spectacular view that stretches all the way to the Pacific Ocean. News-Press photographer Kenneth Song recently made the hike and found people enjoying the rocky environment, the dramatic sunlight and again, that view. Lizard’s Mouth Rock lies on the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains and is accessible from West Camino Cielo Road. For more information, go to websites such as santabarbarahikes.com/hikes/ caminocielo/lizardsmouth or www.hikespeak.com/trails/ lizards-mouth-santa-barbara. — Dave Mason

A couple enjoys a peaceful moment as sunlight accentuates the rocks.

LIZARD’S MOUTH

Continued from Page B1

How to deal with crooks, con artists and liars

have been lied to by so many contractors, I would be surprised if there weren’t an internet course on how to swindle your customers. Arguments, yelling, threats and just plain meanness over a few bucks makes me sick. Luckily, there’s more than one way to take your power back. Of course, Yelp and Google reviews offer a way to let others know about any trouble you’ve had. If you do write a negative review, keep it honest and unemotional. Just share the facts, because it’s the one star that really says it all. This is a venting process that is actually healthy and safe (although you may get some hate mail). Alternatively, you can make a report to the contractors licensing board in your area. You can also sue in small claims court, but is that really worth your time? Sending a letter/email to the person who burned you can also be a form of release. If you do this, avoid threatening or name-calling, so as not to escalate the negativity. Simply state your case and the reasons you see for returning your money or any other reparations you require. You may get an argument, but at least you have a

clear record of what happened if you need it later. But here’s the best suggestion I can offer. Pay the cheater’s bill and forget it. The arguing is just going to steal your time away from you, and time is your most valuable commodity. Why give yourself a few bad days when a little bit of money can buy your peace of mind back? Honestly, when people are unwilling to own up to their mistakes, there’s no point in trying to get them to see it your way. I would just pay the bill and find someone else to fix or finish the work I need done. Any time I spend feeling sorry for myself, because someone’s taken advantage of me, is a waste as well. I like the idea that for a few bucks I can buy my freedom back from a crazy person, and that’s another reason to pay them. If they aren’t reasonable and you can’t have a conversation about the issue, this is not a person you can negotiate with. Period. If you’re not sure you’ve been dealing with a crook, consider how they’ve responded to your requests. If you told them something wasn’t right or to your liking, and they got defensive and vile, that’s a pretty good sign you

are dealing with a bully and a con artist. Honest people listen; they don’t name-call or get defensive. They tell you they understand and usually offer to correct the problem. Not being able to listen or respond properly is a personality flaw in many untrustworthy people. You will probably come across one or two if you haven’t already in this life. What I’m sharing is a psychological method for protecting yourself and your peace of mind: No one likes to be cheated, but sometimes it’s better to just take the loss and keep your sanity. You can call the cops, call your lawyer, write letters to boards that take forever to do anything, or you can let it go and move on with your life. If you dislike conflict, or if you hold on to these negative interactions, talk to your therapist. I truly believe that letting it go is a lot easier on the soul than fighting about it. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer. He is a columnist, blogger and the author of seven books, including “Visualization For Success — 75 Psychological Empowerment Exercises To Get You What You Want In Life.” Reach him at barton@bartongoldsmith. com.

ARIES — A good tip to remember is to be careful about what you say about other people, Aries. If you’re speaking about someone who isn’t present, act like he or she is. What’s your motivation for saying the things you say? Is it necessary to speak in such a way? A negative comment about someone is going to resonate through the cosmos. People could lose trust in you. TAURUS — You may need some time alone today to bring yourself back to center, Taurus. Independence is the key idea to keep in your back pocket. Make sure you’re not becoming a victim to a commitment you made long ago. As the landscape changes, you must also change. Stubborn actions will be detrimental on a day like this. Be honest and grateful for the things you have. GEMINI — Don’t automatically think that beauty has to be defined by old-fashioned standards, Gemini. It’s time to change the definition. There is no need to squeeze yourself into a socially constructed mold that doesn’t resonate with who you truly are. Your job isn’t to try and make sure everyone loves you. There’s only one person you need to satisfy and that is you. CANCER — Issues may get a little heavier than you’d like today, Cancer. Your job is to infuse some levity and humor into the situation. Your adaptability will be put to the test as other people remain steadfast in their opinions. Be conscious of how you use your words. Other people, especially superiors or elders, may be offended by careless, offhand remarks. LEO — If the doorknob doesn’t turn today, Leo, don’t force it. You will only break it. Perhaps you need to try another door. If things don’t flow smoothly into place, then they probably weren’t meant to be. Life shouldn’t always be a struggle. Your job is to enjoy it. Remember that the next time you’re in a long line. View the situation as a period of rest. VIRGO — Your new approach to things might get some flack from superiors today, Virgo, but don’t let that stop you. Realize that your independent and somewhat rebellious nature helps to keep the world in balance. Don’t give up the fight when authorities insist that their way of doing things is best when in fact it’s November simply old. Use Monday, 16, your 2015will and determination to combat the

forces from above. LIBRA — You might be called upon to choose between two ways of handling a situation, Libra. The old way suddenly conflicts with the new. Which way are you going to proceed? Don’t be thrown off course by fast talk and neon lights just because they grab attention. On the other hand, don’t assume that the way that has worked forever is still the best. Use your intuition to choose the best route for you. SCORPIO — Unexpected events could shuffle the cards when you least expect it, Scorpio. If you haven’t kept a close eye on the deck, you might get thrown for a loop. Don’t be discouraged. Everyone else is playing under the same rules as you. If the dealer seems crooked, go to another table. Don’t fall victim to the same trick twice. SAGITTARIUS — Your sense of self may be challenged today, Sagittarius, and you might have trouble keeping your seat during the joust. Keep in mind that the way others see you isn’t necessarily the way you are. Don’t feel like you have to change direction to please anyone. Your only responsibility is to you. Bizarre events may occur, urging you to change your thinking. CAPRICORN — As you follow the path toward acquiring the latest, greatest, fastest, and best, you may have left behind some fundamental values, Capricorn. Don’t lose sight of the principles that make up your foundation. You could be shaken today when your ego goes on trial for pig-headed behavior. Stay in check and be conscious of the way you project yourself to others. AQUARIUS — Key in to your sensual, beautiful nature, Aquarius. Take time each day to tend to your soul and make sure it gets the nourishment it needs to radiate into the world. Unexpected people are likely to appear out of nowhere, so don’t be surprised when a former lover comes knocking on the door. Events from the past may travel to the present in order to teach you a valuable life lesson. PISCES — You may feel a nervous restlessness today that’s urging you to get moving, Pisces. A journey to one place may send you off to another, which may take you on an adventure to some completely different place. It may seem like you’re on a crazy scavenger hunt. The energy of the day could leave you feeling ragged, but don’t give up. Your persistence will pay off in the end.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.

“Space Jam: A New Legacy” topped last weekend’s box office.

‘Space Jam’ beats ‘Black Widow’ Bugs Bunny and his friends remain a hit after all these decades — with some help from current NBA star LeBron James. “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” which teams up Mr. James with the Looney Tunes characters, topped the box office last weekend. The movie earned $31.7 million at the box office, and “Black Widow” fell to second place at $26.2 million, according to the

Hollywood Reporter. “Space Jam” did better than expected, and “Black Widow” fell short of expectations. The latter experienced a 67 percent decline, the worst among the Marvel movies released by Disney. According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Space Jam” had the biggest opening during the pandemic for a family-friendly film. The first “Space Jam,” which teamed up Michael Jordan with the Looney Tunes, was released in theaters in 1996. — Dave Mason

The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is presenting a virtual talk about the Ghent Altarpiece.

Zoom talk to cover surprise related to Ghent Altarpiece The Santa Barbara Museum of Art will present a virtual Art Matters lecture on the Ghent Altarpiece — and a surprising discovery related to it — at 3 p.m. Aug. 5. The Zoom program will feature Bart J.C. Devolder, chief conservator at the Princeton University Museum of Art. “The Ghent Altarpiece (1432) by Jan and Hubert van Eyck is one of the most iconic works of Western art as it embodies the birth of new skills and vision,” according

to a news release. “The artwork in itself is often claimed to be the most stolen painting in history, and in spite of its many voyages, it is a miracle that until this day only one panel is missing.” The Ghent Altarpiece or Mystic Lamb is still housed at St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, where it was created. It has undergone conservation and restoration treatment by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage since 2012. The restoration led to the discovery that the real Van Eyck piece had been hidden beneath overpaint for centuries. The program is free. For tickets, go to tickets.sbma.net. — Dave Mason

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED May 2, 2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On August 4, 2021 at 01:00 PM, at the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, 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 May 11, 2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0035308, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by DANNON M STORY, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for GREENPOINT MORTGAGE FUNDING, INC. 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: 84 CARDINAL AVENUE, GOLETA, CA 93117 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 $300,419.01 (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 Website www.insourcelogic.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000075-21-1. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000075-21-1 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.
