Today is last day to vote in recall election By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gov. Gavin Newsom

Today is the final day for registered Californians to vote in the recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom. Millions of California voters received their mail-in ballots in the middle of last month. The ballot asks voters to answer two questions: Should Gov. Gavin Newsom be recalled (answer yes or no)? And who should succeed the governor if he is recalled? In order for Gov. Newsom to be recalled, more than 50% of voters must vote “yes” on the ballot. If this occurs, the successor with the highest number of votes on the ballot’s second question will replace the governor.

The ballot contains a list of 46 candidates vying for the governorship, a few of whom made stops in Santa Barbara County on the campaign trail. Larry Elder, the leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, spoke to a crowd of hundreds of recall supporters at the County Courthouse’s Sunken Gardens last week ahead of election day. And in the earlier weeks of the recall effort, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and businessman John Cox stopped to campaign in various parts of the county as well. According to Joseph Holland, the county’s registrar of voters, more than 100,000 ballots were submitted via mail or in one of the county’s ballot drop boxes as of Monday. The county’s Department of Elections sent

out about 238,000 recall ballots in August to registered voters, Mr. Holland told the NewsPress. Voters who have not yet cast a ballot have the option to vote in person today at one of the county’s 54 polling locations. To find a polling location near you, visit countyofsb.org/care/ elections/voting/upcoming/september-14-2021. sbc. Voters can still mail in their ballot, but it must be postmarked by today in order to be counted. In-person voters are encouraged to bring their mail-in ballot with them to the polling location. Mr. Holland said elections officials will trade the mail-in ballot for a live ballot. If voters show up without their mail-in ballot, they will likely need to vote with a provisional Please see RECALL on A3

poles with steel columns to improve the building’s structural integrity. Then, when rebuilding the interior walls, workers will increase the wall height from six feet to 14 feet. Officials say the height increase will help shield audience members from the cool breeze in the evening and create better acoustics. Contractors will also be upgrading the outdoor theater’s electrical, lighting and sound technology, as well as improving accessibility outside the theater with new approach ramps to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The new upgrades are expected to be completed by July 2022. Officials say each of these upgrades is meant to create a more enjoyable theater experience and preserve the legacy of the beloved venue, which has been a center for entertainment in the Santa Ynez Valley for more than four Please see THEATER on A4

Officials broke ground on a renovation project at the Solvang Festival Theater on Monday morning, beginning a rebuilding effort that officials say will preserve the entertainment venue for many years to come. Dozens of city officials, local donors and members of the Theaterfest Board of Directors gathered while part of Second Street was shut down for the project’s official groundbreaking. Attendees took turns taking whacks at one of the theater walls with sledgehammers, which began a $4.7 million renovation project that will make various upgrades to the 47-year-old establishment. Over the next 10 months, contractors from Specialty Construction will replace the theater’s original utility

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Ventura office alleges the Santa Maria Public Airport District destroyed the habitat of the endangered California tiger salamander. The Service sent the airport a letter dated Aug. 13 hoping to meet and resolve the issue “without proceeding to civil or criminal prosecution.” The letter accuses the airport of damaging a pond that has been the site of California tiger salamander breeding for nearly 20 years and gutting approximately 110 acres of upland habitat. The Service learned about the alleged destruction during the airport’s incidental take permit process for the construction of the Santa Maria Airport Commercial Center Project. An incidental take permit allows entities to proceed with activities, such as construction, that may harm an endangered or threatened species. But applicants must also submit a habitat conservation plan to mitigate the damage. The Santa Maria Public Airport District submitted a habitat conservation plan as part of an incidental take permit on Jan. 6. The plan acknowledged the presence of the breeding pond and surrounding habitat. The Jan. 6 application showed the pond, known as SAMA-10, and habitat were intact at the time of submission. The Service reviewed the incidental take application on May 3 and accessed aerial imagery that showed the destruction of the pond and land. Please see SALAMANDER on A4

NEWS-PRESS ENDORSEMENTS

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.

A Ground-based Interceptor missile was launched at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The missile is part of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense System.

Robert Long, the Space Launch Delta 30 commander, was the launch decision authority. “Today was another milestone in the

longstanding partnership between Space Launch Delta 30 and the Missile Defense Agency,” Col. Long said in a news release. “Once again, the combined team displayed their hallmark professionalism and ‘can-do’ attitude in making this a successful test.” — Dave Mason

Preliminary results expected Seen in the right light to be released around 8 p.m. RECALL

Continued from Page A1 ballot, which will be counted the same, Mr. Holland said. Preliminary election results are expected to be released around 8 p.m. tonight on both the state and local levels. The state, however, has 29 days to certify the election results, meaning it could be weeks before the official results are announced. Throughout the recall effort, recall proponents and opponents have canvassed across the county, encouraging voters to get out and vote in the recall election. In the weeks leading up to election day, members of the county’s Democratic Party have encouraged voters to vote “no” on the recall and keep Gov. Newsom in his position of power. Numerous county Democrats have said the recall effort is a Republican-led power grab and would roll back the progress the governor has made on environmental policy, worker’s rights and COVID-19 recovery. “Voting ‘no’ on the recall is the only way to prevent a Trump-supporting Republican from becoming governor,” Spencer Brandt, the organizing director for the county’s Democratic Party, told the NewsPress Saturday. “A Republican governor of California would restrict access to women’s reproductive healthcare, attack immigrants’ rights and erode protections for our environment.” A number of county Republicans, however, see the election as a chance for a new future for California. Throughout the pandemic, many

recall proponents have pointed to Gov. Newsom’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, his attendance at a French Laundry party during the winter lockdowns and his shutdown of schools as prominent reasons to support the recall. Goleta resident Jim Worthen, who favors the recall, questioned the validity of a Los Angeles Times/UC Berkeley poll released last week showing 60% support for keeping Gov. Newsom in office. He said the numbers should have focused on people likely to vote in the recall election, rather than registered voters in general. “What I hear from the campaigns is that it’s going to be a toss-up, 50/50. The voter turnout is going to be the big thing,” Mr. Worthen told the

News-Press. “It’s such a phony poll.” He said he’s concerned the poll will discourage people from casting ballots. Mr. Worthen also criticized Gov. Newsom for high gasoline prices. “It’s $1 a gallon more than anywhere in the country. It’s almost $2 more a gallon over some places.” And like previous critics, Mr. Worthen said he feels Gov. Newsom has been a hypocrite. He cited the well-known French Laundry restaurant incident. “His kids were in private school without masks while your kids couldn’t go to school,” Mr. Worthen said. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Resident catches thief through surveillance system SANTA BARBARA — A resident who was out of town caught a trespasser Sunday night by viewing live home surveillance footage. The Santa Barbara Police received a report from the resident at around 7:30 p.m., and the resident provided updates while watching the subject on the camera feed. The suspect broke into the home, located in the 1200 block of Shoreline Drive, through a rear window. Numerous officers arrived and set a perimeter around the home. Officers took note of a white Dodge sedan in the driveway not registered to the homeowner. The sedan was reported stolen Saturday. Neighbors received a notification advising them to shelter in place, and others were advised to avoid the area. Law enforcement called for backup from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers watched the suspect pace around the home and change into the homeowner’s uniform. They commanded the suspect to surrender and exit the house. The suspect, Trey Von Duus, 21, of Buellton, allegedly refused commands and appeared to barricade himself inside a bedroom. Law enforcement entered the home through the garage and asked him to surrender. When he refused again, officers searched the home. An officer and his canine partner Murdoch were deployed. Officers report they had to restrain the suspect to arrest him. Mr. Duus suffered minor injuries and received medical treatment at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital before being transported to Santa Barbara County Jail. He faces charges of burglary (felony), vandalism (felony) and resisting arrest (misdemeanor). Bail is $50,000. — Annelise Hanshaw

The new renovations are made possible by dozens of community members and local organizations who donated to the Solvang theater’s fundraising effort over the last three years. Thus far, the Theaterfest board has raised about 80% of the $4.7 million needed for the rebuilding project. During Monday’s event, representatives from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians presented the Theaterfest board with a $100,000 check, leaving the fundraising effort with just $995,000 to go. “This theater means so much to this community,” Veronica Sandoval, the chief tribal operations and communications officer for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, told the crowd on Monday. “When the Chumash Foundation learned of the renovation project that would improve infrastructure, enhance accessibility and upgrade technical capacity for the theater, we pledged $100,000 to help raise funds for the project.” She praised the Theaterfest Board of Directors for persevering

Dozens of donors who contributed to the renovation project were present at Monday’s groundbreaking event, including Ken and Jane Heinly. The pair are part-time Solvang residents who are longtime lovers of the theater and donated to the renovation to ensure that

“Solvang stays Solvang” for years to come. “(Renovating the theater) means a lot because what we have enjoyed we certainly want the next generation to get to enjoy,” Ms. Heinly told the News-Press. “The outdoor theater festivities are just wonderful to experience, and I think everyone should get that chance.” Santa Barbara County Supervisor Joan Hartmann was also in attendance at Monday’s event, coming out to show support for the theater project and fundraising effort. She told the

News-Press that the renovations will draw “even finer acts” to the theater in the future. “(The theater) is really our community center, the heart and soul,” Ms. Hartmann said. “It’s where children come and perform. It’s where you can have reunions and events in the garden. And have the best performances. PCPA is just as good as Broadway in my view. “I hope that (the renovations) will continue to draw top entertainment — even more of it.”

The letter says the airport manager (who is not identified by name) told the Service that the airport had “approved expansion of agricultural operations in the area in summer of 2020, and the habitat conversion occurred in early 2020.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement is investigating whether the airport violated the Endangered Species Act. The Service halted the processing of the incidental take permit. “Take of a listed species is a violation of the Endangered Species Act and could result in an applicant’s disqualification to receive or exercise the privileges of an incidental take

investigation is open. California tiger salamanders in Santa Barbara County were categorized as endangered in 2000 under the Endangered Species Act. The majority of documented California tiger salamanders in Santa Barbara County live on private land in the northern part of the county. These amphibians have round wide-set eyes and a broad, rounded snout. They appear to have a soft smile. Their backs are black with yellowish dots. Their size can range from six to 10.5 inches in length. The California tiger salamander’s biggest threat is the loss of habitat from urban development and farming. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Ensemble Theatre Company returns to the New Vic with in-person plays By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Ensemble Theatre Company is preparing to present its first inperson plays at the New Vic since the pandemic started. Single-play tickets are now on sale as the longtime Santa Barbara troupe welcomes audiences back into its theater at 33 E. Victoria St. Those attending the plays must be fully vaccinated. And the ETC cast and crew are fully vaccinated, according to a news release. If you purchase a ticket but later decide you’re not comfortable attending an in-person production, you can watch a livestreamed version instead or get a full refund. (See the FYI box.) ETC’s five-play season will start in October with “Tenderly,” a musical about movie star Rosemary Clooney. Linda Purl returns to ETC as Ms. Clooney, known for movies such as “White Christmas” (1954). David Engel will play a variety of people in the life of the late Ms. Clooney, the aunt of movie star George Clooney. “Tenderly” will feature an on-

stage band and songs such as “Hey There (You with the Stars in Your Eyes),” “Tenderly” and “Come OnA My House.” “Tenderly” will run Oct. 7-24. For the holidays, Jane Austen meets “Downton Abbey” in ETC’s production of “The Wickhams,” the second installment of the “Christmas at Pemberley” trilogy. The play will run Dec. 2-19. Darcy, Lizzie and Lydia, three characters from “Pride and Prejudice,” will appear in a story about the servants’ goings-on below. From Feb. 3-20, ETC will perform “Carmen Jones,” Oscar Hammerstein’s jazz/musical adaptation of Bizet’s “Carmen.” The production will be followed by ETC’s long-delayed performance of “American Son,” a play about the intersection of racism and the police. ETC had to cancel the production last year because of the pandemic. “American Son” will take the stage April 7-24. The season will end with “Sleuth,” a comic thriller starring Santa Barbara favorite John Tufts. It will run June 9-26. email: dmason@newspress.com

Most of us are touch-starved

T

he pandemic brought the term “touchstarved” to the forefront of our lives. It was very sad to see news clips of families standing outside hospital windows just to get a glimpse of their loved ones. Many people died holding the hand of a medical caregiver instead of the person they have spent their entire adult life next to. It was and still is heartbreaking. To live a life in which you are touch-starved can be very painful. I say “can be” because a few people don’t like touch, but that is a different issue. For most of us, the touch of a loving hand is one of the most powerful things this life has to offer. Research says that we touch very little in America, only twice a day and that includes sex! In the Philippines the average is 181 times a day. Neither my wife nor I are from that part of the world, but we try our best to always touch when we are within arm’s reach. Every time we pass each other in the house, we reach out and touch hands or walk a little closer to each other and hug and/or kiss, just for a few seconds. I believe that this helps to keep our relationship and our bodies healthy. People who are touch-starved have a harder time with life, physically as well as mentally, because they are missing one of their most important needs. The emotional pain becomes physical as well over time. Connecting with another human being on this level has become even more important during COVID. Those whom I can hug (the fully vaccinated) get good hugs, and the same goes for a handshake. My first few hugs with friends after months of separation, I felt deeply. It showed me how important that part of our life is, yet we usually take it for granted. Now many of us are touching again, and I know some never stopped — which at this time in our world may not have been the best choice. The problem is that touch is a deeply rooted physical

need — and one of the reasons there are so many people on this earth. We were not meant to be alone. So now that we can hug and touch those we love without fear of infecting them, I’m seeing more of it going around. The cuddle factor in my home has increased by about 25 percent (even more on chilly nights), and I didn’t think our touching could get any better. We both have noticed it, and now cuddling more will be a permanent part of our lives (except on hot summer nights). Make sure you get and give that 10-second hug when someone you love leaves or enters the house, and take in every ounce of that energy. When you pass by your partner, reach out for each other for that moment of physical connection. It means more and is worth more than you can imagine.

For most of us, the touch of a loving hand is one of the most powerful things this life has to offer.

The Solvang Library has launched its new virtual Book Club for Kids. The club is open to youths ages 9-12 in the Santa Ynez and Goleta valleys. The first meeting will take place virtually at 4 p.m. Wednesday, followed by a second one at 4 p.m. Sept. 29. The club will continue to meet at 4 p.m. on two Wednesdays each month, according to a news

release. The first book for the Book Club for Kids will be “Prairie Lotus” by Linda Sue Park. The club also will discuss related titles. Reading “Prairie Lotus” before the meeting is optional. Dr. Anne Jansen, a longtime local library enthusiast, is the club’s book moderator. Dr. Jansen, whose doctorate is in English, has taught multiethnic literature at the university level. “Connection is so important, and we are in such a disconnected moment right now,” Dr. Jansen said in the news release. “Getting young readers to talk about books is a way to foster connection and create space for community during a challenging time. “Also, I love to geek out over books!” she continued. “Being able to talk with others about the things we love — in this case, books — is such an amazing thing. “I would have loved the opportunity to be part of a group like this as a kid, and I hope to help young readers share or grow their love of reading with their peers.” Dr. Jansen said many of the book club’s titles will be multicultural. “We live in a world where people are finally starting to realize the importance of diversity. Studies have shown that

reading increases empathy, so to read stories about characters from different backgrounds can have a very meaningful impact on young readers. Perhaps some of our readers will even see people like them in these stories, and that can be a powerful thing! “I remember the first time I realized literature could be about people like me,” Dr. Jansen said.

“It literally changed the course of my life. The Book Club for Kids is supported by the Friends of the Library of Santa Ynez Valley. The Solvang Library is part of the Goleta Valley library system. For more information, go to www. goletavalleylibrary.org. email: dmason@newspress.com

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

%\ 'DYH *UHHQ

By Horoscope.com Tuesday, September 14, 2021 Aries: An unexpected development could throw you into a tailspin, Aries. This could involve a new person in your life or the reappearance of someone from the past. This presence could incite either personal or professional changes. These could seem like a lot to handle, but could be positive over the long term. Stay calm, deal with issues one at a time, and keep your sense of humor. Taurus : Group activities could escalate almost to a frenzy. New shortterm goals could necessitate a lot of work, Taurus. You might get caught in a rush of phone calls and errands. This should prove very positive for the group’s goals in the long term, but for now it could drive everyone crazy. Try to stay focused and just do what you have to do. Gemini: You could receive a phone call from a friend or relative you haven’t seen in a long time, Gemini. This person might announce a pending visit, and very soon! You and your household might go crazy trying to make the place presentable. You’ll probably enjoy the visit, but the announcement will cause some temporary chaos. Cancer: News about changes in your neighborhood could throw your community for a loop, Cancer. This may involve new businesses, laws, or ordinances that don’t sit well with everyone. You can expect a lot of phone calls, impromptu meetings, and other community contact that could turn into heated quarrels. Be prepared, and stay focused. Leo: Technology could set a personal or job-related project back for you today, Leo. Computers, telephones, or other important equipment could malfunction and necessitate calling in a repairperson. Too many people could vie for your attention and make demands on you, causing you to feel distracted. The temptation to lose your temper and walk out could be strong. Don’t do it. Virgo: Large social gatherings, perhaps group events or festivals, could put you in the middle of an agitated crowd, Virgo. At first it could seem exhilarating, but after a while you could feel stifled. Still, you won’t want to miss anything, so you’ll be in a quandary. It’s OK to leave for a while and come back. The crowd should dissipate somewhat by the time you return. Libra: Too many demands upon you could have you feeling a bit on edge today. If possible, this is a good day to get away by yourself for a while, Libra, as you might feel a strong need to get your head together. It’s a great day to go for a workout or get out in the open if weather permits. Take a book with you and gather your thoughts. Scorpio: A speech or lecture you hear or read could cause your way of thinking to be suddenly and drastically altered, Scorpio. Some radical information could overturn concepts you’ve embraced for years, and this might shock you. Consider it objectively and you’ll realize that it isn’t all that drastic a change. In the larger scope of things, all ideas stem from the same source. Sagitarrius: Some rather shocking information could affect your current living situation and cause some upset in your household today, Sagittarius. This might cause a lot of worry, although the situation probably isn’t as dire as it seems. Calm everyone down and view the situation objectively. It’s better to find solutions than to become angry. Capricorn: A phone call from another state or country could bring some astounding information your way today, Capricorn, awakening you to events and ideas you’ve never considered before. You might be in a daze for a while. You may want to run this by friends to see what they think. Some interesting discussions could result. By day’s end, you won’t be thinking the same way! Aquarius: If you’re trying to get your finances together, today might not be the best day for it, Aquarius. Put it aside for now. Indulge in the lighter side of life. Get family or close friends together and head outside. You can enjoy a day at the park or zoo. Share some laughs and grow closer. Those more serious matters will still be waiting for you tomorrow. Pisces: A surprising phone call might come today from a close friend or business or romantic partner, Pisces. This person might have encountered an unexpected upset and need to concentrate on getting it together again. An offer to help might meet with scant enthusiasm, as this person may prefer to take care of things alone. The trick is to be supportive and not take on the troubles as your own.

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.

T.S. No. 090989-CA APN: 065-062-008 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 3/27/2003. 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 PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 9/29/2021 at 1:00 PM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 4/2/2003 as Instrument No. 2003-0040500 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: ELVIRA AVINA MARTINEZ, A MARRIED WOMAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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 FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; AT THE NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE FULLY DESCRIBED ON SAID DEED OF TRUST The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5218 MONO DRIVE, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93111 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $504,940.13 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 090989-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 090989-CA 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. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP 4375 Jutland Drive San Diego, California 92117 SEP 7, 14, 21 / 2021 -- 57527
