OPINION Editorial

Understanding thoughts and threats

ot a day goes by, it seems, without hearing about someone opening fire at some event or institution. Whether we are talking about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of Parkland, Florida, which left 17 dead in February; Maryland Capital Gazette with five dead in June; or last Sunday’s Madden video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, on Aug. 26, that left three dead; it seems that American culture is robust with random outbursts of lethal gun violence. To worsen the tension, in cases such as the Isla Vista killings and even the Madden video game tournament, there were warnings of mental health issues and vocalizing of violent thoughts that clearly didn’t warrant enough caution for police or mental health experts to intervene in any significant way. On the other end of that spectrum, vocalizing thoughts of violence, including mass shootings, is not all that rare. According to Educator’s School Safety Network, which started compiling threats of school violence in American schools because of Parkland, “There were at least 3,380 threats nationwide recorded in the 2017-2018 school year, a 62 percent increase from 2,085 threats in the 2016-2017 school year. The most common threats recorded in the 2017-2018 school year were shooting threats (38.8 percent of all threats), followed by generalized or unspecified threats of violence (35.8 percent) and bomb threats (22.5 percent).” For the last school year, approximately 1,318 threats were made about school shootings. “While the method of delivery of threats was not always reported, when it was reported, social media was the most common source of threats, accounting for 39.2 percent of all threats in the 2017-2018 school year. This is relatively unchanged from 40 percent in the 2016-2017 school year. In 2017-2018, written threats were discovered within the school 20 percent of time, most commonly in the restroom. Verbal comments were the source of threats 12.7 percent of the time,” the network found. From speaking with local law enforcement officials, it appears that people who talk about thoughts of school shootings are not that uncommon. In fact, sometimes such a revelation about a school shooting may be considered to be a way to vent anger or frustration and deemed nothing more than that. Sometimes confessions of such thoughts may gain more traction due to other factors, leading to a 5150 or 5585, police code for a 72-hour involuntary mental health hold for adults or juveniles, respectively. At that point, firearms may be removed from residences. It is common practice for police to circu-

late within only their departments the information about the hold. The person is then evaluated again at the end of the hold as to whether the threat is deemed credible or not; and if not, the person is released, typically with a plan to follow up. During the third week of August, the Santa Paula Police Department went beyond protocol and released identifying information on an individual who went through the standard process of dealing with violent thoughts, confiding in a therapist, being placed on a mental health hold and then being cleared by a mental health professional to be released to the public. The police flier that revealed the individual’s information went viral online, causing outrage among parents of Ventura Unified in particular who believed he was a credible threat despite an approved release. The details about the threat of a school shooting were vague, at best, leaving plenty of room for parents to conjure the worst of scenarios. There was even a call to allow for concealed-weapon permits. The flier was also posted at the local gun show. Fear sells guns, no doubt. The reaction was visceral, which included demands that parents always be notified if a person reports having thoughts about a school shooting, particularly if that person is put on a mental health hold. What the scared parents failed to account for, however, is how common these thoughts and even threats are. And then there are a plethora of variables, from the officer who considers the thoughts to be actually a threat to the psych evaluator who may or may not agree. And not every professional involved in the mix agrees all the time. The unfortunate consequence of the public shaming of this particular individual is, who will now be honest about thoughts of violence if this is how it may play out? And who is to say what is the fundamental catalyst of violence? Again, the variables in predicting who is actually a threat remain widereaching. In the end, we need to face the facts of serious pressure and stress in the classroom and how children and young adults handle that stress and how professionals and parents alike react to vocalized thoughts of violence. What we need is more communication and different ways to cope with our thoughts and stress rather than simply labeling a threat and making it someone else’s problem to deal with. How can we be a civil society and resist caring about those who are seeking help and instead condemn them for their honesty? Doesn’t it take a village to raise a child, after all?

Hispanic families

am a Ventura-born, Oxnard-reared volunteer Korean War veteran Hispanic who has devoted most of his life in local community advocacy efforts, most of which to absolutely no avail. Oxnard city leadership is not willing to address the obvious problems of family dysfunction faced by many Hispanic residents who have come to Oxnard for a better life. It is a futile endeavor when it comes to educating their children. The parents have little or no education and less parenting skills. They send their kids to an English-language education system. The students have no educational support at home. Their learning experience ends the moment the afternoon school bell rings. In this atmosphere it is impossible for students to learn the skills to function in society to say nothing of preparing a career. Mayor Tim Flynn’s answer has been two gang injunctions, now temporarily suspended, to resolve the lack of education. Mayor Flynn has the ability to make up the difference, to establish programs to nurture the educational needs of these children, but Flynn ignores my suggestions, my pleas made over the years. He just doesn’t care, nor does the City Council. Flynn is content to regard these children as criminals and rid himself of any responsibility, however, these families contribute to the city for no return. They pay taxes, participate in local business and provide the mass of minimum-wage labor used in the city of Oxnard. I consider Flynn’s attitude to be similar to President Donald Trump’s separation of children from their mothers at the border. Flynn cares as much about his Mexican residents as Trump does about refugees fleeing hostile environments in Latin America. Miguel Espinosa Oxnard

Public nuisance challenged Judge rules pet owner’s rights violated in seizure of dogs without hearing by Chris O’Neal chris@vcreporter.com

hat happens when the family pet gets into trouble? According to law, it can be two strikes and you’re potentially out. One Ventura case, however, has struck a nerve, after two dogs with prior histories were seized, leading to a court case with the judge siding with the owner. Lady Sif and Thor, two pit bull breed dogs living in Ventura with Christy Topper and her family, came to the attention of Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) in June of 2015. The duo escaped from their own backyard and into the neighboring property, where they attacked and killed several chickens. The owners were served a citation under the city of Ventura’s nuisance abatement ordinance 2004-20, section 8.050.610, and in December, a hearing was held during which the Toppers were told that in order to get Lady Sif and Thor back, they would need to fortify their backyard and construct an inescapable dog run, and keep the pair on leads at all times when on a walk. The Toppers complied and Lady Sif and Thor returned home. In 2017, the Toppers found themselves dealing with VCAS once again, after the pair of pit bulls escaped from the family LADY AND THOR home, allegedly biting a postman on duty. Every suspected bite is reported to VCAS, and when the address of the alleged perpetrator of the postman’s bite came up in the system as being the home of both Lady Sif and Thor, Animal Control seized the dogs and notified the Toppers that if they wished to have a hearing, they could request one. This is where Ventura County Superior Court Judge Matthew Guasco found fault. Guasco, in his ruling issued on July 2, directed the VCAS to give Topper a hearing and an opportunity to be heard at said hearing, though denying a request to immediately return the dogs. A hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 31. Meanwhile, Lady Sif and Thor wait at home with the Toppers for their fate to be decided. “How many people in the county have animals?” asked attorney Gannon Elizabeth Johnson Esq., who represents the Toppers. “A lot of people have animals accused of being a nuisance who don’t know that they have all these rights, so they’re not told they can bring an attorney to the hearing, they’re not told how to ask if they can get subpoenas for certain people to attend the hearing. It’s a big problem.” Gannon says that for the families in a situation similar to the Toppers’, these issues go “under the radar,” and that others have had their due process violated as well, due to the practice of “amending” nuisance orders rather than issuing separate orders for different events. “The city and county took the position that the hearing in 2015 sufficiently protected the Toppers’ due process rights and the judge said no,” said Gannon, alluding to another pit bull by the name of Tango. In 2015, Tango, a male pit bull, was declared a public nuisance by VCAS after residents of a Simi Valley neighborhood claimed that he attacked several individuals and animals. In 2016, Tango attacked another neighboring dog, biting the owner as well. Tango was impounded and officials determined that he would

— August 30, 2018

no longer be able to live in Ventura County, giving his owner 10 days to find him a home or Tango would become property of VCAS. Tango was eventually euthanized, unable to find relocation outside of the county. A similar event occurred with Shadow, a pit bull owned by a Ventura homeless man and who was impounded after biting a police officer attempting to arrest his owner. Shadow was shot, and a campaign was launched to fund his recovery. Shadow was later adopted by Gannon. Bryan Bray, supervising animal control officer, says that seizure of an animal is “exceedingly rare.” “Three or four,” said Bray, as the number of times he can recall an animal taken from a family on a second nuisance complaint. Bray has been with the VCAS since 2005. “If we have an animal we know is a nuisance and is a threat to the public safety, we have to take action at that point.” The numbers coincide with Bray’s assessment. From January 2015 to Aug. 17, 2018, VCAS received 3,029 barking complaints and 4,316 aggression complaints. Of those, eight barking complaints warranted further investigation (four total in 2018 thus far), and 61 aggression complaints warranted further investigation, with 15 of those occurring in 2018. In total, five nuisance complaints have been amended since 2015, meaning further requirements were written into the order for the family and their pet to become compliant with the law. Only two resulted in seizure of the animal. Bray says that in 2015, one animal seized due to an amended barking complaint resulted in the dog being placed up for adoption; and in 2017, one amended nuisance complaint resulted in more than one animal being seized due to aggression and being subsequently ordered out of the county. Bray says that he cannot comment on the Topper case, as litigation is ongoing, but that instances such as that of Tango or Shadow are “worst-case scenarios.” In Tango’s case, former neighbor Ken Vergini told the VCStar in July 2016 that “virtually everyone on the street wrote a letter on my behalf to animal control following the 2014 attack, and several letters also indicated that this pit bull was aggressive and dangerous,” adding that the neighborhood had filed six complaints with VCAS before the attack that ultimately sealed Tango’s fate. Gannon says that a nuisance complaint wasn’t filed in the case of the attack on the postman, however, and says that she believes VCAS acted outside of its authority by confiscating the pets on a bite report. “They receive hundreds of bite reports a year but they don’t take action on all of them; that didn’t happen in the Topper case,” said Gannon. “Then, when the dogs were seized and held, they weren’t given a hearing.” Bray says that the VCAS is currently looking at the ordinance to mirror what the court has ordered, which Gannon says doesn’t mean that the status quo will change. “While it is good they are working on amending the ordinance, that doesn’t mean it will happen any time soon (if at all) and it doesn’t mean the county or city aren’t acting under the ordinance as written until that amendment is adopted,” said Gannon. “As proof of this, the city and the county are scheduled to hold an administrative hearing against the Toppers on Aug. 31st under the same ordinance that was just declared unconstitutional.” ✦

In Brief SANTA CRUZ ISLAND PIER FINAL CONCEPT APPROVED

The pier at east Santa Cruz Island’s Scorpion Rock is one step closer to being replaced after the National Park Service announced that an environmental impact report has been completed. The original pier fell into disrepair after high tides damaged the structure, leaving the NPS with three options: Do nothing, replace the existing pier or build a new pier 300 feet to the south of the existing location. The service chose to build a wider and longer pier to the south of the current location, and expects construction to begin in 2019. “This is a great day for visitors to Channel Islands National Park, as this significant step in the planning process makes way for a major improvement to critical park infrastructure,” said Channel Islands National Park Acting Superintendent Ethan McKinley. “The new pier at Scorpion Anchorage will be the access point for most visitors to the park for years to come.”

OPPORTUNITIES FOR RETIREES IN MOORPARK

Retired people who may find themselves yearning for a gig have a new program to turn to in Moorpark with the launch of Unretire Yourself, a national effort to give retirees the tools they need to reenter the workforce. “A lot of people retire and realize retirement is not the answer for them, they might want to work for more money, fulfillment, those type of things,” said Laurie Reid, owner of Home Instead Senior Care. “The program is there to get the word out that there is work available.” Reid says that retirees can take a career assessment online to decide if they should return to work. One option, for instance, is to become a senior caregiver. “We love older workers to take on the role of caregivers,” said Reid. For more information and to take a career assessment, learn of local opportunities and more, visit www.unretireyourself.com.

VENTURA COUNTY TRANSIT GIVES FREE LIFT TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

Students: Ditch the hiking boots and hop on a bus for free, care of Ventura County Transit operators who are joining together for the endeavor. Students of California Lutheran University; California State University, Channel Islands; Moorpark College; Oxnard College and Ventura College need only show an ID to hop aboard any Ventura County Transportation Commission bus and ride anywhere in the county. “The College Ride Pilot Program will help introduce transit to college students who may not otherwise have used it before,” said Darren Kettle, Executive Director of the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC). “This program has the potential to create new, lifelong transit users and help boost transit ridership in Ventura County.” A grant from the state of California’s Low Carbon Transit Operations Program gave the VCTC funding for the project. “Free bus passes will help many college students have an easier time accessing higher education and even work and other services across the county,” said Ventura County Community College District Chancellor Dr. Greg Gillespie.

Talking about education Ventura Unified Superintendent David Creswell goes on record one year into his tenure

and wonder if kids are more resilient; and some are really rattled, same with adults. So that’s clearly a focus. Our third goal, the general term, is positive school culture. We all know what we need to do, focusing on how we do that. Are we bringing people along and communicating and winning them over? Or are we just doing mandates, get on board or else? Those are kind of our specific goals.

avid Creswell , superintendent of Ventura Unified School District, has just begun his second year working for the district. In his first year, within a few months, the Thomas Fire ravaged the status quo, both for the community and for the school district. But the fire was just one particular issue facing children, and teachers and parents as well. Public education spans a gamut of services that go beyond just academics, a point that Creswell emphasized. That includes school safety, leadership, college versus career preparation, counseling and much more. The district this year has also started a rebranding effort, approved unanimously by the Ventura Unified School District board of trustees at $138,000. “It was time for the district to re-examine who we are, what our mission is and who our customers were. Public education is not the only education option for parents today. We want to be the preferred option, not by default but by choice. Branding is part of getting that message out,” said John Walker, president of the board. Creswell, who prefers to go by Dave, sat down with the VCReporter before the school year began to discuss education, goals and balancing objectives.

What do you see that is a strong attribute of Ventura Unified? First of all, there is tremendous pride in this city and this district. Through long-term, people graduate, they stay, their kids go here, their grandkids go here, a tremendous amount of pride and that’s great. Through the Thomas Fire, I saw a tremendous amount of people willing to give and support and remedy, and so that’s part of that pride. I think the second for the school district, there is choice here. School choice and programs, where you go to school. That’s incredibly uncommon. Most districts, you live within a school boundary, you go to that school. You have this program and not that program, that’s what you get. But here you have school of choice and ability to shop for programs or pathways or schools.

What are some of the pathways kids are choosing as of late?

VCReporter: Why did you first get into education? Creswell: My interest was in the sciences and I graduated high school and went to university as a botany major. I found in a short period of time — I love botany and field botany — that was not what I thought it was. I have been a hiker, backpacker, and I just appreciated plants and botany and the study and the science behind it. The university I went to was very interested in botany as far as forestry, lumber harvest, bugs that eat trees that we want to use for wood, and it was just like, this is not what I thought. So I came back, kinda grew up in the Long Beach area and I went to a community college, and I was trying to figure out what I needed to be interested in. I joined a friend of mine in a furniture-building class that he was taking and got into woodworking and just loved it. I was taken in by a professor as an intern, and one day it dawned on me that I loved woodworking and I could make a living by teaching it. But I had parents and relatives that were teachers and had always loved that. That was the turning point with [the furniture-building class]; I am going to Long Beach University and get a teaching credential.

It’s clear that teachers and administration, people in general, may not agree on certain decisions or methods. How do you handle conflicts? I think that’s life. There are times when things, people are going together in the same direction, working through that. That is the good stuff. That’s not a problem; that’s what’s

challenging. There are all kinds of frustrations in public education. Doing things that are really important but they are unfunded, knowing that you need to spend more time on planning and training and staff, and the hours aren’t there. There’s always perennial things. Education too, like many things, is on a huge pendulum; so on one hand we are just totally focused on vocations and getting kids career-ready and then the next decade, every kid is going to college; forget trades and hands-on, let’s focus on college. It goes back and forth.

We are at a crux right now. It seems like we have been very focused on college. And vocation needs to come back in. There needs to be a … Balance

Tell us about that path of vocational training. It seems that some people are falling through the cracks on college-ready. They are just not collegeready or -bound and it seems like there isn’t a lot of vocational training. I guess I wouldn’t say falling through the cracks. Students have choice and opportunity that we aren’t automatically saying you are going to college or none of you are going to college, that they have the ability to make that choice and have those opportunities. There are always people that are plugged in and able to

work the system, and people that are marginalized that are not a part of that. Providing equal opportunities for kids, that is what is critical. I totally support kids that want to go to college and students that say, plumbing fascinates me, or building homes, or writing code or technology. I think there is a place for all of that.

What are your priorities for this coming school year, programs or courses, or a new way of directing things? Let me start with the big picture. Schools nowadays do everything; 40 years ago, academics only. Parents did not want us talking about citizenship, social morals, ethics; it was just academics. We do everything: counsel, social, emotional. We do personal, we do academics, transportation, nutrition, counseling services, and so to say, what are the goals? The first goal, to keep all those things going, which is a tough task. And then, within that, we have specific goals for each year. For 2018-19, a focus on math achievement, finding kids’ potentiality, maybe we are not offering classes we should. With regard to remediation or advancement, or kids bailing or dropping out, math is a goal of ours. School safety, a huge goal, what’s going on nationally, with school shootings and violence.

How is that setting the tone emotionally for kids? It’s tough. Man, it’s something we deal with every time we hear of it in surrounding areas

Pathways in medical professions, in industrial applications, in STEM, technology. We have one school where the focus is leadership (ATLAS), which is phenomenal. We have schools in the arts or multiple languages, a lot of variety and generic great standard schools. I think the other thing I have found that is very unique to Ventura Unified, a ton of amazing things going on that nobody knows about.

Such as? A group of eighth- and ninth-graders at DATA call themselves STEMBassadors. They actually staff development for teachers, teachers that are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with technology. There are very few programs like that. The leadership academy at ATLAS School in Saticoy, you walk on and a third-grader will walk up and shake your hand and look you in the eye and say, “I can give you a tour, do you have any questions?” It’s just phenomenal; those things are going on all over in music and arts and lots of different programs.

How are the students after the Thomas Fire? We anticipated any and all challenges, coming back from the fire, so we had teams of school psychologists who wanted to be nimble and be able to react, so we planned for the worst and expected the best. The kids really surprised us how well they came back, how resilient they were. Not that we didn’t have issues; they exceeded all of our expectations and getting back on track and moving forward. The teachers handled it well. A lot of teachers lost their homes, lost everything they had. Again, district and community coming together, in my opinion, to have more support, remedies and answers than the need; that was pretty cool to see. ✦ August 30, 2018 —

SKILLED students seek opportunities in vocational careers

F 10 —

BY JIM MEDINA

ounded by a union activist in 1882, Labor Day was created to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers — such as machinists, ironworkers, welders, plumbers and woodworkers. But such jobs have been downgraded to second-tier status in recent decades because of the push for young people to pursue college degrees. The public perception — and many students’ expectation — is that a college degree paves the path to success, even if it comes with a bucket of school loan debt. Spending a career behind an office desk, though, is not for everyone. Thanks partly to popular TV shows like Monster Garage and Counting Cars, more and more students have found handson skills very “cool.” So much so that there are waiting lists to get into welding, automotive and health-care SHANE BOSTON KIM HOFFMANS programs at Ventura College, which touts an array of career education courses — a rebranding of sorts from what used to be called vocational training. Last year, California kicked off an aggressive $6 million campaign to promote career and technical education in the community college system — 114 campuses. The realization is that there is high demand for skilled laborers who can obtain good-paying jobs after two years or less of training. “It’s a good time to be in welding because students are getting employed,” said Michael Clark, lead instructor of the welding program at Ventura College. “There’s job opportunities out there. And the whole mindset of vocational education has changed over time that they (students) realize that people can make a living wage doing this.” Clark noted that a student who earns an AWS (American Welding Society) certification — one of three offerings in the program — is immediately employable. “They don’t leave

with any loans, really,” he said. “There’s not a whole lot you have to invest in to learn this skill — basic hand tools, some clothing and miscellaneous gear. And then you just practice the skill and knowledge. … But there’s also the basic work skills you have to have — be on time and work hard.” Back in the day when people thought of welding, they likely envisioned a man in overalls sitting atop a steel beam torching together metal. It may have been a common sight during construction of high-rise buildings in the 1880s when machinist Matthew Maguire, secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York, proposed creating Labor Day. The first holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, in 1882 in New York City. It became an official federal holiday — regarded as a “workingmen’s holiday” — in 1894, according to the U.S. Labor Department. MIGUEL DELGADO HELLESETER W h e n skilled trades began to be regarded as second-tier occupations is uncertain, according to Miguel Delgado Helleseter, assistant professor of economics at CSU, Channel Islands. “This stigma is unfortunate because people should be satisfied if they are doing a good job,” he said. “So it shouldn’t be seen as a lesser job with this connotation of blue collar. … There’s a lot of jobs out there under this discipline of blue collar that actually pay really, really well.” Helleseter hopes that the separation between blue-collar and white-collar jobs is “vanishing a little bit” because of the complex technical skills now required in various fields, such as the automotive industry. “I think people sometimes have this idea that blue collar means unskilled,” he said. “That is not the case.” Ultimately, individuals must make their career choice based on what they are good at or what their interests are, Helleseter said, adding that fluctuations in the economy

might also be a consideration. For example, an individual with a college degree likely has more that are skills transferrable to a different job than someone with a certain and specific expertise. “The other thing is, we’re getting to the point where a bachelor’s degree is not enough,” said Helleseter, who also is director of the CSUCI Institute for Global Economic Research. “The bachelor’s degree is becoming the high school diploma of 20 or 30 years ago. … It means, if I want to differentiate myself in the job market I need a higher degree — maybe I need a master’s degree. … That means more debt. It also means a longer delay into entering the labor force.” Consequently, trade schools might start looking even more attractive to young students, the economist added. At Ventura College, labor market research on local, state and national labor trends is used to develop curriculum to prepare students for the best work possibilities, said Kim Hoffmans, vice president of Academic Affairs and Student Learning. “Most of our career education programs are set up where they have certificates that build on each other,” Hoffmans said, noting that a student who earns a certificate after com-

pleting 18 units can obtain a job while continuing to pursue an associate’s degree. “If we only focus on our traditional general education, kind of our liberal arts degrees, supporting our transfer students, and don’t also have the complement of career education, we won’t be able to serve our community — because our community needs workers at all skill levels,” she added. In addition to community colleges, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 484, in Ventura has seen a growing interest in trade skills, said Shane Boston, business manager and financial secretary. “We’ve got people coming in almost every day” seeking applications for the apprentice program, he said. With a wait list of sometimes more than a year, a union apprentice with no experience makes $21.10 per hour under an earn-as-you-learn program, which includes free classroom training, according to Boston. A union journeyman — a classification obtained after five years of work — can earn as much as $51 an hour, roughly $106,000 a year. “People are realizing they can make a pretty good living doing what we do,” Boston said, “and not have that college ✦ tuition to pay off.”

The heat is on

Ventura local competes on Top Chef Junior

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer nancy@vcreporter.com

op Chef Junior, the cooking competition that spun off from the immensely popular Top Chef last year, will return to the airwaves in September. Among the 12 contestants, ages 11 to 14, who competed for top honors during filming last spring was Ventura local Carson Peterson. A 13-year-old student at Cabrillo Middle School who just started eighth grade last week, Peterson will be shown baking, braising and broiling against 11 other talented young chefs during the show’s second season, which starts on Sept. 8 on Universal Kids. He took time out of his busy schedule to talk to the VCReporter about his love of cooking, favorite foods, greatest influences and more.

VCR: When did you start cooking?

Carson Peterson: I started cooking around 4 or 5. I’d stand at the counter and watch my mom [Kristine Peterson] and Nonna [Andrea]. I definitely remember my nonna making her pasta from scratch, her raviolis. I remember the feel of the dough, and the flour being everywhere.

When did you start being able to contribute in the kitchen?

At 8 I was in there helping and actually being kind of a sous chef. For instance, if she was making the pie dough, I’d help her with the filling.

What are some dishes your grandmother made that you enjoyed?

Definitely her sauce. She won’t share that with anyone but family. The pasta takes a whole day to make. She gave me the recipe. The thing I really liked about it is that it’s been passed down — it was her mother’s mother’s cooking. I saw that cooking brought tradition with it, and that really pushed me to become a chef.

What sorts of foods do you like to cook?

I really enjoy making classic French food. I made a coq au vin, which is chicken braised in wine. And I’ve made duck a l’orange. I was probably around 10. One of my dishes is fish en papillote (fish cooked in parchment paper). I started leaning more towards classic French as I got older, that really interests me. I like the flavors. But I still cook Italian.

At what point did your parents realize that you were really talented in the kitchen? Was there a particular meal or dish that surprised them?

I think I started realizing it in myself, maybe a year and a half ago. I was taking more time to cook than doing other things, like going outside. I think my parents noticed long before.

Were there any dishes you made that really surprised your family?

I made a confit byaldi, from [the film] Ratatouille. . . .The confit byaldi was made by Thomas Keller. Eggplant, tomato and zucchini are sliced on a mandolin and slow-roasted for about two hours with a sauce on top. And then they’re plated in a ring mold — it’s a really beautiful dish.

— August 30, 2018

What does it take to get on Top Chef Junior?

I think the most important thing is determination and confidence. During the audition process, you’re waiting and waiting for a call. You have to maintain a certain amount of confidence in order to carry on. You also really need to be good — you need to know what you’re doing, have proper knife skills, understand technique.

What was the process like?

The first audition was an open casting call. We went to a hotel in Los Angeles. It was a bunch of kids in the L.A. area. We went into a room where they asked us a lot of questions. We had to demonstrate knife skills and we had a written test as well. I got the call back, and then I had to do some demos. They gave me a mystery bag [of ingredients to cook with].

What did you do to prepare for the competition?

I started really brushing up on my techniques and knowledge of food. I was confident in my flavors, that’s something I’d already been good at. So it was reading up on the classic cookbooks and doing research.

What sources did you rely on?

I used a lot of Julia Child’s cookbooks. Jacques Pépin. I have two sets of Thomas Keller cookbooks, with a lot of French-inspired dishes, that I really look to. I asked my dad [Calvin] to time me because I had to learn time management.

after this interview. One of my cravings is pho, Vietnamese noodle soup. It’s so comforting, I just love eating it. Moqueca, or Brazilian seafood stew. I love Asian cuisine as well. I love all cuisines, really. Bouillabaisse and cioppino. I like ramen — there’s a great restaurant in Ventura, Kao Ramen by Mama. And homemade rigatoni — we have that every year at Christmas. That’s kind of a Nonna thing — she still likes to make it.

Anything else you’d like to share with us?

I’m actually going to intern at Slate [Bistro in Camarillo] with Executive Chef Abdu Romero. He was the private chef for Will Smith for two years. I also have been looking to get an internship at Café Ficelle — I love that place! The atmosphere is great, and you can just go up to the counter to talk to the baker. I love that. ✦ Top Chef Junior, Season 2, airs on Saturday, Sept. 8, at 6 p.m. on Universal Kids. For more information, visit www.universalkids. com/shows/top-chef-junior. Follow Carson Peterson on Instagram at @topchefcarson.

What do you think distinguishes someone who likes to cook from someone who can succeed on a cooking competition?

I’d say that the No. 1 thing is that you don’t just want to cook or like to cook — you have to cook. It almost becomes an addiction. You have to make something at least every few days. It’s a lot of drive and determination. If you have that and you put that all into cooking, I think that makes a difference.

Are there cooking shows and competitions that inspire you?

That’s really the only thing that ever comes on our TV, except for movies for my little sister [4-year-old Cara]. I watch a lot of Iron Chef America — that’s one of my favorite shows. Top Chef, Master Chef, Meet Bobby Flay.

Which chefs do you admire, and why?

I really admire Alton Brown. He’s just so knowledgeable — any question you can ask him, he has the answer. Curtis Stone — I’ve always wanted to go to Maude, which he recently opened [in Beverly Hills in 2014]. And of course Julia Child. Jacques Pépin, a really classic chef. I also really like Tiffany Derry — she has a really intriguing cooking style. [Ed. Note: Tiffany Derry is one of the judges on Top Chef Junior]

Tell us about some of your favorite foods.

I don’t have one particular favorite food. I really like macarons. I’m actually going to make some

The Marías, from left: Jesse Perlman (guitar), Carter Lee (bass), María (vocals), Edward James (keyboards) and Josh Conway (drums).

Psychedelic soul The Marías to perform at the Ventura Theater

n a music world overrun with autotuned vocals and booty-call lyrics, The Marías have fast become a refreshing change of pace with their lush and dreamy sound and the ethereal vocals of lead singer María. It’s a sound that makes viewers drift away on tropical grooves rooted in jazz, lounge, funk and psychedelia, all in a mellow mode that recalls vintage Everything but the Girl. That tasty and unique combination has helped The Marías rise quickly in the music world, as they are currently the opening act for the long-popular Café Tacvba despite having formed in Los Angeles less than two years ago. As she looked forward to tonight’s (Aug. 30) show at the Ventura Theater, María explained the magic behind her partnership with coleader and boyfriend Josh Conway, who plays drums and produces while lead guitarist Jesse Perlman, bassist Carter Lee and keyboardist Edward James round out the group. “When I moved out from Atlanta three years ago, I just played as many shows as I could to meet people and find venues,” recalls María, who alternates singing in English and Spanish. “It was just me and a guitar at that point, and then I met Josh at the Kibitz Room [club] after a show when he filled in as sound engineer for the night. From then on, we combined both of our sounds and influences. “He grew up in L.A. and I grew up literally

across the country, so we had two very distinct upbringings and musical influences. But when we got together to write it was a big balance of both and that makes it special.” María (who opts to keep her surname private) grew up listening to artists such as D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill and Norah Jones, but found that both her family home and hometown offered a metlting pot of many Latin countries and cultural influences. Her mother’s family came from Puerto Rico while her father’s family hailed from Spain, but she also harbored a big devotion to pure pop groups

The Marías open for Café Tacvba at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Majestic Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. For tickets and more information, call 805-653-0118 or visit venturatheater.net.

After an opening set by Sensi Trails, the living legend had the crowd up on their feet from the moment he took the stage, playing favorites such as “Tudo De Bom,” “Don’t Sniff Coke” and (naturally) “Go Pato.” The audience enjoyed an extra-special treat when Pato offered up a moving tribute to the late Bob Marley with a fantastic rendition of “Stir It Up.

such as the Backstreet Boys and feels that all of those elements have influenced the sound of her five-piece band. The tour with Café Tacvba is only the band’s second ever, and it’s a big step up from The Marías’ initial tour, which the vocalist recounts as “just me and six guys.” She’s bringing aboard a close female friend and musician on this tour to “even things out a little” and notes that the band hopes to incorporate the hardwon lessons from its first road jaunt: “After being together for six weeks, we all learned to move quickly and take it day by day with getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, taking enough vitamins and drinking enough water.” The Marías bring a strong visual presence to their videos and live shows as well, a factor

rooted in María’s lifelong love of Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s colorful films. Her love for the auteur is rooted in her father introducing her to as many elements of his native Spanish culture as possible. “My dad really related to and grew up watching them, and I grew a newfound appreciation of him the last couple of years,” says María. “For a kid it seems kind of weird, even though they’re all beautiful films. I rewatched them a couple years ago and noticed that they all revolve around strong female characters, who are shot colorfully and look amazing. His brother produces all his films, so they create magic together, and their attention to detail gets to me.” For the video for the Spanish-language track “Dejate Llevar,” off the debut EP Superclean Vol. 1, The Marías shot in super 8 as they offered up a lush retro poolside vibe in which the band plays poker and sips martinis before hopping into a classic Mercedes-Benz for a sunny spin through Los Angeles. In another video, for the English-language tune “I Don’t Know You,” María jumped at the chance to use a red velvet couch that was dumped on a curb — a decision that led to her gaining access to the colorfully glam array of dresses (particularly a leopard coat and red velvet beret) left behind by the couch owner’s late wife. Ultimately, María finds that while assembling an ever-bigger band — which occasionally has a sixth member she hopes to make permanent while continuing to grow even larger and who offers some good outside perspectives to the songs — it’s her partnership with Conway that will always be the true foundation for the group. “We started dating before we started the band together, and for us it completely works,” she explains. “We’ve found other couples might not be able to relate, but with us it’s because we have a deep level of understanding. It helps writing songs together and we can read each other’s minds sometimes because we’re so close.” “The other guys have been friends since childhood and have become part of my extended family, and we all get along great,” she continues. “Being on tour with Josh is great because we’re with each other all the time but at the same time he has friends he can hang out with every day because the band members are such close friends.” F

Sancho Loco's special breakfast burrito, extraordinary.

An adventure in Mexican American fusion cuisine

Client: Nature’s Grill

by Michael Sullivan michael@vcreporter.com

El Sancho Loco Taqueria 2271 Michael Drive • Newbury Park 805-376-8226 $1.99-27.99

iving in East County has proven to offer a bountiful supply of adventures. Upon recommendation, my companion and I met Michael of Michael’s Bicycles on Michael Drive in Newbury Park to fix up my companion’s bike. On feeling confident that Michael could complete the bike work needed, we headed across the parking lot to El Sancho Loco Taqueria. After my partner relayed to me the urban dictionary definition of “sancho,” it was especially amusing to see a wall of pictures of “Sancho’s Kids.” The cashier, Evelyn, was especially friendly and only had one bit of disappointing news: El Sancho does not serve coffee, so no iced coffee and homemade horchata for me. El Sancho has all the expected items that we have become accustomed to at a Mexican restaurant: sopes, chimichangas, burritos, taquitos, tamales, tacos, enchiladas, tortas, etc. It features carne asada, carnitas, chili verde, chorizo, grilled chicken, pork al pastor, etc. Some of the more unusual offerings not seen at the average Mexican joint included tripas (intestines), lengua (tongue), cobb salad, Sancho bacon-wrapped hot dog, funnel cake, root beer float and Sancho cheeseburger with sour cream, guacamole and serrano chile. I decided to follow a completely nontraditional route and chose the fried breakfast burrito wrapped in bacon and topped with a syrup-saturated Eggo. My partner chose the El Sancho grande burrito with carnitas.

Alpha

A boy, a wolf and a really expensive camera

by Tim Pompey

tjpompey@gmail.com Alpha Directed by Albert Hughes Starring: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Chuck the wolf-dog Rated PG-13 for some intense peril 1 hr. 36 mins.

lpha is what you might expect from a film about a young man’s adventure with a wolf. Its story is very straightforward without too many surprises, save for a bit of a twist in the end. Except. A lot of time and money have been spent on things in this film other than just the story, and it’s those extras that set Alpha apart. Whether those extras are enough to draw you in, well, let me explain and then you decide. The setting is 20,000 years ago in upper prehistoric Europe. A small tribe must decide which young person will join a hunt for buffalo. The test: making a decent arrowhead tip for a spear. Some fail. Some pass, including the chief’s son, Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Chief Tau (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) and his wife, Rho (Natassia Malthe), discuss the dangers of the trip. She is worried, but he reassures her, and the hunting party sets out. During the trip, Tau tries to teach his son about survival and leadership. One of those lessons is how to find his way home based on a map burned into Keda’s hand. The map matches a constellation in the sky. As Tau tests his son, the jury is out as to whether or not he’s up to the task, especially when he refuses to kill a boar that will serve as food for the hunting party. Finally, during the hunt, Keda freezes in fear when he’s charged by a buffalo. Hooked on a horn, they both fall over a sheer cliff. By luck, Keda lands several hundred feet down on a ledge. Appearing from a distance to be dead and too far down to retrieve, the hunting party and his father reluctantly leave him.

Keda, however, is not dead. He does manage to get off the cliff and discovers that he’s been left behind. Now he must find his way back using the map on his hand. When he’s attacked by a pack of wolves, he injures one with a knife before escaping up a tree. The friendship begins as they heal together and learn to help each other. Yes, I know. It sounds Disneyish. It is. The whole movie is subtitled using an actual proto language created by Dr. Christine Schreyer from the University of British Columbia. Schreyer also created the language Eltarian in last year’s Power Rangers. Second, filmed in IMAX 3-D, one of the unspoken characters in this fil m is the photography. Shot primarily in British Columbia and Alberta, Alpha exhibits wide expanses and dramatic ice-age scenery. It’s a deliberate contrast to the small band of hunters, and to Keda and the wolf. Finally, the director is Albert Hughes, one of the Hughes brothers who produced and directed Menace II Society and The Book of Eli. From urban ghettoes to the prehistoric wilderness, Hughes has successfully transferred his talents to Alpha. The film’s direction and photography are tight. There’s little wasted time as the story moves along. Alpha is not elaborate. It’s built on drama, nature and the friendship that results between Keda and the wolf. That friendship is a process and Hughes carefully pieces the story together. By the time the bond is established, you’re hooked. Who will this film appeal to? I imagine, if you can work with subtitles, it might be enjoyed by any child who loves animals, especially dog lovers and fans of dog films. While it may seem predictable, its drama is still worthwhile, and once it gets rolling, the adventure is nonstop. So, does the uniqueness of this film outweigh its predictability? You’ll have to judge for yourself. And if you actually get a chance to see it in IMAX, then consider yourself fortunate. Get off the couch, grab a kid or a dog ♦ lover, and take the journey.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine encounters a talking caterpillar as he smokes a hookah on top of a tall mushroom. “Who are you?” he asks her. Alice is honest: “I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” She says this with uneasiness. In the last few hours, she has twice been shrunken down to a tiny size and twice grown as big as a giant. All these transformations have unnerved her. In contrast to Alice, I’m hoping you’ll have a positive attitude about your upcoming shifts and mutations, Aries. From what I can tell, your journey through the Season of Metamorphosis should be mostly fun and educational.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Juan Villarino has hitchhiked over 2,350 times in 90 countries. His free rides have carried him over 100,000 miles. He has kept detailed records, so he’s able to say with confidence that Iraq is the best place to catch a lift. Average wait time there is seven minutes. Jordan and Romania are good, too, with nine- and 12-minute waits, respectively. In telling you about his success, I don’t mean to suggest that now is a favorable time to hitchhike. But I do want you to know that the coming weeks will be prime time to solicit favors, garner gifts, and make yourself available for metaphorical equivalents of free rides. You’re extra-magnetic and -attractive. How could anyone resist providing you with the blessings you need and deserve?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

One of the big stories of 2018 concerns your effort to escape from a star-crossed trick of fate — to fix a long-running tweak that has subtly undermined your lust for life. How successful will you be in this heroic quest? That will hinge in part on your faith in the new

by rob brezsny

power you’ve been developing. Another factor that will determine the outcome is your ability to identify and gain access to a resource that is virtually magical even though it appears nondescript. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that a key plot twist in this story will soon unfold.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Potential new allies are seeking entrance to your domain. Existing allies aspire to be closer to you. I’m worried that you may be a bit overwhelmed; that you might not exercise sufficient discrimination. I therefore urge you to ask yourself these questions about each candidate. 1. Does this person understand what it means to respect your boundaries? 2. What are his or her motivations for wanting contact with you? 3. Do you truly value and need the gifts each person has to give you? 4. Everyone in the world has a dark side. Can you intuit the nature of each person’s dark side? Is it tolerable? Is it interesting?

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

While a young man, the future Roman leader Julius Caesar was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates. They proposed a ransom of 620 kilograms of silver. Caesar was incensed at the small size of the ransom — he believed he was worth more — and demanded that his captors raise the sum to 1,550 kilograms. I’d love to see you unleash that kind of bravado in the coming weeks, Leo — preferably without getting yourself kidnapped. In my opinion, it’s crucial that you know how valuable you are, and make sure everyone else knows, as well.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran loved the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Without Bach,

God would be a complete second-rate figure,” he testified, adding, “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.” I invite you to emulate Cioran’s passionate clarity, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to identify people and things that consistently invigorate your excitement about your destiny. Maybe you have just one shining exemplar, like Cioran, or maybe you have more. Home in on the phenomena that in your mind embody the glory of creation.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

I foresee the withering of a hope or the disappearance of a prop or the loss of leverage. This ending may initially make you feel melancholy, but I bet it will ultimately prove beneficent — and maybe lead you to resources that were previously unavailable. Here are rituals you could perform that may help you catalyze the specific kind of relief and release you need: 1. Wander around a graveyard and sing songs you love. 2. Tie one end of a string around your ankle and the other end around an object that symbolizes an influence you want to banish from your life. Then cut the string and bury the object. 3. Say this 10 times: “The end makes the beginning possible.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart,” wrote Oscar Wilde. I’ll translate that into a more complete version: “If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart.” This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to treat your life artistically. You’ll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you’re feeling empathy and seeking

intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“My tastes are simple,” testified Sagittarian politician Winston Churchill. “I am easily satisfied with the best.” I propose that we make that your motto for now. While it may not be a sound idea to demand only the finest of everything all the time, I think it will be wise for you to do so during the next three weeks. You will have a mandate to resist trifles and insist on excellence. Luckily, this should motivate you to raise your own standards and expect the very best from yourself.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Russian playwright Anton Chekhov articulated a principle he felt was essential to telling a good story: If you say early in your tale that there’s a rifle hanging on the wall, that rifle must eventually be used. “If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there,” declared Chekhov. We might wish that real life unfolded with such clear dramatic purpose. To have our future so well-foreshadowed would make it easier to plan our actions. But that’s not often the case. Many elements pop up in our personal stories that ultimately serve no purpose. Except now, that is, for you Capricorns. I suspect that in the next six weeks, plot twists will be telegraphed in advance.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Would it be fun to roast marshmallows on long sticks over scorching volcanic vents? I suppose. Would it be safe? No! Aside from the possibility that you could get burned, the sulfuric acid in the vapors

would make the cooked marshmallows taste terrible, and might cause them to explode. So I advise you to refrain from adventures like that. On the other hand, I will love it if you cultivate a playful spirit as you contemplate serious decisions. I’m in favor of you keeping a blithe attitude as you navigate your way through tricky maneuvers. I hope you’ll be jaunty in the midst of rumbling commotions.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

People will be thinking about you more than usual, and with greater intensity. Allies and acquaintances will be revising their opinions and understandings about you, mostly in favorable ways, although not always. Loved ones and not-so-loved ones will also be reworking their images of you, coming to altered conclusions about what you mean to them and what your purpose is. Given these developments, I suggest that you be proactive about expressing your best intentions and displaying your finest attributes. Homework: What pose would it be a relief for you to drop? How are you faking, and what could you do to stop? Freewillastrology.com.

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 $190,843.27 (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.

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.

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 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9987-7204. 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. 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.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum due under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment, with interest thereon, as provided in said notice, advances, if any, estimated fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee, to-wit: $4,648.76 Estimated. Accrued Interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The claimant, RiverPark Community Homeowners Association under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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 Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2016-00128. 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.
