Strands of holiday lights strung up for the first time between Cedar Ravine Road and Bedford Avenue in downtown Placerville lead up to the town’s towering redwood Christmas tree.

On Dec. 22 California Acting Public Health Officer Erica S. Pan extended the state’s limited stay-at-home order and declared it would only expire after the regional stay-at-home order has terminated in all regions in the state. The Greater Sacramento (includes El Dorado County), Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley and Southern California regions are all locked down at this time. Only the Northern California region has maintained ICU bed availability above the state’s threshold of 15%. Restrictions include all restaurants to close except for take-out/delivery. All barbershops, hair salons and nail salons to shut down. Retail outlets are required to limit customers to 20% capacity and residents have been asked to remain at home except to go to essential jobs or to do basic chores. Public gatherings are prohibited.

SMUD inspects lines from above Kevin Christensen Staff writer SMUD crews used a helicopter to conduct inspections and maintenance on power lines and electrical equipment near Lotus Road and Highway 49 Monday. The purpose of the inspection was to look for potential defects, ensure safety and reliability of the lines, according to SMUD officials. During Monday’s inspection a specially-trained line worker in a chair was suspended from a helicopter with state-of-the-art photographic equipment that can take live X-ray photos of power lines. A separate team on the ground analyzed the photos live to see if there were any problems and determine what work must be done to fix the deficiencies. “SMUD has been doing this for a few

years now,” said Chris Capra, a SMUD news media services representative. “It’s an extra step to ensure our highervoltage transmission lines that bring power from our hydroelectric plants in El Dorado County are safe and reliable.” Capra said winter provides SMUD the best time of the year to perform these inspections because the hydro power the company generates at its plants is important to meet summer demands, especially the air conditioning load the utility company sees. “There’s not a lot of power generated up there in the fall and winter months so now is a good time to do the inspections and any associated maintenance,” he explained. In November SMUD inspected large sections of lines from Folsom through Courtesy photo n

Susan M. May

Dec. 1

Sept. 11, 1930 - Dec. 13, 2020

On Sunday Dec. 13, God welcomed home a daughter; a new angel. That angel is Susan M. May. Born Susan Maxfield Sept. 11, 1930 to Jack and Janie Maxfield of Piedmont, Calif., Mom lived for an amazing 90 years. She was a retired school teacher, she taught for 25 years at Buckeye Elementary in Shingle Springs and Camerado Springs Middle School in Cameron Park, Calif. Mom was amazing. She was a world traveler in love with life. After graduating from the University of Oregon in her early 20s, she got a teaching job in Japan on an army base, while there she even went to and explored Cambodia. Mom had one older brother, Robert C. Maxfield of Calistoga, Calif., who sadly passed away 14 years earlier. Mom passed peacefully in her sleep at home, thankfully not from COVID-19. The batteries that powered our beautiful Mom simply ran out. She will be warmly remembered, but painfully missed. Mom is survived by her sons; William Jeffrey May, Stephen Richard May and her daughter Julie Elise May. She also leaves behind her grandson Jeffery S. May, and granddaughter Tashawna S. May. And she was able to hold and love her first greatgranddaughter, Aliyah M. May. The entire May family resides in and around Placerville. The family will hold a small, private gathering and a wake will be held at a later time. Mom loved our veterans, and one of Mom’s favorite causes was Paws for Purple Hearts. God bless you, Mom, rest in peace.

Somber ceremony

Wreaths Across America honors the fallen Kevin Christensen Staff writer

ational Wreaths Across America Day was honored with a virtual ceremony at the Old City and Uppertown cemeteries in Placerville Saturday. Despite COVID-19 limiting many events this holiday season, U.S. Marine veterans and Placerville residents Eric Nelson, Victor Mansfield and Bob Prestwich (all members of the Marine Corps League, SSgt. Sky Mote Detachment No. 697) performed the annual ceremony by laying wreaths at the headstones of fallen veterans and playing “Taps” to remember those who defended the country. Nelson led the Dec. 19 ceremony by reading short military biographies of the fallen heroes on his phone while people who could not attend because of the pandemic watched online. Prestwich placed the wreaths and Mansfield performed “Taps.” Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day the tradition to remember, honor and teach is carried out by coordinating wreathlaying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,100 additional locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad. Wreaths Across America’s mission touches the lives of thousands of school, scout, civic and religious groups across the country through fundraising for wreath sponsorships. These groups help to ensure that members reach their goal to place a wreath on each hero’s grave. In return, the groups receive fundraising dollars that assist in furthering their own goals and projects.

Louis Mansour is proposing a small R&D facility off Latrobe Road in El Dorado Hills.

Mansour proposes EDH complex Sel Richard Staff writer Looking for a small space to house a business? Mansour Company’s Louis Mansour has just submitted a design review application for a new warehouse complex along Latrobe Road in El Dorado Hills.

Christmas message

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus By Francis P. Church, first published in the New York Sun in 1897. We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of the Sun: ear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you see it in the Sun, it’s so. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Francis P. Church’s editorial, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” was an immediate sensation, and went on to became one of the most famous editorials ever written. It first appeared in the New York Sun in 1897, 117 years ago, and was reprinted annually until 1949 when the paper went out of business. Thirty-six years after her letter was printed, Virginia O’Hanlon recalled the events that prompted her letter: Quite naturally I believed in Santa Claus, for he had never disappointed me. But when less fortunate little boys and girls said there wasn’t any Santa Claus, I was filled with doubts. I asked my father, and he was a little evasive on the subject. It was a habit in our family that whenever any doubts came up as to how to pronounce a word or some question

Letters to the Editor Senior Santa success EDITOR: 020 is unlike past years in so many ways. With the constantly and rapidly changing landscape, Friends of Seniors had to cancel two of its annual fundraisers. However, with great determination we decided to hold the ninth annual Senior Santa with a new look and a new plan. Since we could not take seniors out of their homes in the usual way, we decided to bring Christmas to them. After many nominations and a careful selection process, 49 seniors were chosen to participate in Senior Santa 2020. Each senior carefully created a Christmas wish list within his or her budget of $110. Gifts could be for family, friends or much-needed items for themselves. Our 33 volunteer elves shopped, wrapped presents and delivered them to the senior’s home, along with other handmade gifts from Friends of Seniors volunteers. The smiles just never stopped coming when the gifts were delivered. This year in particular we have heard one story after another of the amazing generosity shown by our community throughout 2020 and during this holiday season. Friends of Seniors sends a sincere thank you to our generous donors, our caring volunteers and to everyone who made Senior Santa 2020 a big success. May you and your loved ones find peace this holiday season and may 2021 bring you hope, renewed faith and good health. NORMA ECHABARNE & KATHI LISHMAN Senior Santa co-chairs, Placerville

Mask up so we can open up EDITOR: fter reading so many letters and comments from those reluctant to follow the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendation to wear masks, some common complaints emerge: discomfort, lack of self expression and unclean masks. I have designed a comfortable mask pattern that my partner has been wearing to work eight-plus hours a day, five days a week for the last seven months. This mask is comfortable and stays in place on your face without adjustments, continuously covering your nose, even during the most heated arguments. The pattern is easy enough that any truly self-reliant individual with a sewing machine can follow along to make a mask that truly expresses their personal message to our community. Make a bunch at a time and you will always have a fresh, clean mask ready at hand between washings or to give away. This pattern is free for all to download, share, print, and use.

The Grinch EDITOR:

For you don’t have a soul. Maybe this Christmas you could bring me a 39 1/2-foot pole. JIM ALLEN Placerville

ell, Governor Grinch, you’ve stolen Christmas too, just like you stole all of 2020. I hope you weren’t expecting milk and cookies by the fireplace when you make your rounds this year; that would be eating indoors and it’s against the law, your law. In fact, I hope you don’t come around at all, to my house anyway. I didn’t have a larger tax bill and more absurd mandates on my Christmas list, because that’s all you’ll probably bring — maybe more unemployment or closed businesses and longer stay-at-home orders too. How do you gift wrap that? Instead of leaving presents under the tree you’ll probably take what little we have this year and send me a bill to boot. You’re a mean one, Mister Grinch, and your constituents won’t forget, They watch you laugh and play While they stay home and pay You’d be better off in a hole

hy are our elected officials in Washington allowed to receive the vaccine ahead of healthcare workers and aged citizens? Specifically, Pelosi, McCarthy, Pence and his wife. When Congress can’t agree on a stimulus package for the millions affected by this pandemic, these bottom feeders jump to the head of the line. I’m waiting for our elitist governor to get vaccinated before other folks. WELZA DEAN PANNELL Somerset

The Not So Weekly Daley

A Christmas wish after an unsettling dream

had a dream last night, Christmas Eve. I was visited by some frightening dreampeople who told me the future ... or at least some parts of it. They arrived in a large, black machine that could have been a sleigh or maybe a “Hell-made” battle Chris wagon. The thing was pulled by a ragtag mob of barely recognizable characters. The driver was the most malevolent creature imaginable. He sang a kind of encouraging ditty to those toiling in the trenches. It went something like this: “McConnell, McCarthy, McClintock and Barr, Kayleigh and Conway — They know

who you are. MikePom and MikePen and Eric and Don, They won’t rest til they think we are finally gone ... “I won, LANDSLIDE, rum pum-pum-pum ...” Each wore a ball cap that read “Malicious Minion” with their Daley name embroidered on the back. Another war sleigh appeared with a crazed troll at the reins. Dark colors poured from his face and his “everywhere,” and like the other driver, this one chanted a familiar aire: “On Sydney and Johnson and Jordan and Gaetz, On Kushner and Marco, on Cruz

and your mates, On Meadows and Atlas; please take all the plates. Come Bannon and Flynn and sad Manafort, On Miller, Ivanka. I’ll see you in court ...” The second sleigh contained a number of imps and fiends who whooped and hollered in Eastern European tongues. They howled in Russian, Ukrainian, Moldovan, a little Greek maybe and a dash of Slovenian. They took turns laughing and jabbing at the driver whose name was Dudy or Julie — something like that. I awoke in a terrible sweat, I can tell you. I tried to make sense of the dreadful images and characters represented in this nightmare. But I couldn’t quite pin it down. Obviously there was considerable violence at play, intimidation, dark and vengeful

themes of repression and punishment, sadism, ignorance and incompetence. Scrooge in the graveyard came to mind. “Spirit are these shadows of things that ‘will’ be or are they shadows of things that ‘may’ be only?” The spirit kind of assured Scrooge that his future was a “may” be and not a “will” be. His future, and perhaps ours, depended on things that yet may be. Maybe the malevolent creature will actually vanish with his Malicious Minions and never again plague us with his violence, intimidation, dark and vengeful themes of repression and punishment, sadism, ignorance and incompetence. It’s the best Christmas wish ever. A Merry Christmas to all and the happiest New Year ever! Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

“It is R&D; it’s been zoned R&D,” said Mansour at December’s Area Planning Advisory Committee meeting, noting that the land had a special use permit for self-storage. “With what’s going on today, I don’t need to say it. There’s no need for any more storage in El Dorado Hills or probably El Dorado County on the whole.” Mansour said his vision for the development is warehouse-type flex buildings, divisible from 1,000-1,500 square feet. “Right now a lot of people are looking for those small spaces,” he said. “They have internet businesses where they just need a little warehouse to process merchandise.” He also cited “last-mile” industry as a possibility whereby companies like

Amazon can send a single semi-truck to a central warehouse from which smaller vehicles will deliver goods. One special tenant is slated for occupancy. “The only use that I’ve got going there is that we’re intending to move my wife’s party rental business into a bigger facility. That’s about it,” Mansour shared. “I’m building on spec to see what happens.” Hoping to complete the project by fall 2021, Mansour said he’s excited to try new façade materials. “I’ve got some really unique things that we’re working with and some materials and products that I’ve been researching,” he revealed, saying he is keeping the aesthetic concept in line with the storage building. “It might not be stucco; it might not be stone … but it’s going to look like it.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Merriness will have to do with observing, connecting and accepting reality while letting go of anything that doesn’t fit or serve it. The comfort and the joy come from saying “yes” to what is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve a gift for holding a moment with exactly the right amount of strength. You don’t squeeze, nor do you lend a floppy grip. You cup with care, and the graceful minutes breathe like perched birds in your steady hand. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The peace in your heart is not from circumstances settling, people agreeing or things suddenly going your way; rather, it comes on the wings of a realization that reality has its own kind of perfection. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your sweet connections, offset by equally lovely spaces, form lovely patterns over this day, a day that promises to give you joyful memories for years to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The creative spirit vibrates through even the most mundane tasks, and it elevates the more inventive moments to the realm of events worthy of an angel choir soundtrack. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You give something tender to the moment and teach others, through your example, a style of engagement that nurtures and fortifies the childlike spirit inside us all. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your drive to contribute to

the group is a wonder. It’s not just your immediate circle you care for either, as you see the whole of humanity as partially your responsibility. Your best work will be aimed at fulfilling a deadline. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This doesn’t unfold in the expected way, and yet, your preparation pays off. What happens is much more playful, humorous, quirky and delicious than you imagined it would be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be fulfilled by aspects of the day you could not have anticipated would bring you that intake of breath and rush of emotion to remind you of your shared humanity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your faith in life’s process will be fortified. You’ll be presented with comforting news and gestures that wrap you in the warmth of belonging. Still, it’s what you give that fulfills you the most. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If, at the end of this day, you were asked to sing out the highlights, it would be a rollicking opera indeed, merry, jubilant and worthy of “bravo” cries from a standing audience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Mirth will come easily to you. It’s a matter of cutting the rope and throwing the sandbags over the edge. The mood sails up and up, giving you the most glorious view of your current landscape.

El Dorado County families grow healthy with WIC El Dorado County Health and Human Services News release Finding nutritious food on a limited budget can be a challenge. The Women, Infants and Children Program is a federally funded nutrition program that serves pregnant women, women who have recently been pregnant, infants, and children up to their fifth birthday. WIC provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, benefits for a variety of nutritious foods, and referrals to medical providers and community services. “WIC helps eligible families lead a healthy and active lifestyle,” said Ellen Deutsche, supervisor of the WIC Program in El Dorado County. “Food benefits are now on the California WIC Card, an EBT card that makes shopping easier — no more paper checks.” WIC services are provided at no cost to recipients. Individuals or families may qualify for WIC if they: • Are pregnant, breastfeeding a baby up to 1 year old or had a baby in the past six months; or • Are the primary caretakers of a child younger than the age of 5; and

• Have a low to medium income and/or receive Medi-Cal, CalWORKs (TANF) or CalFresh (Food Stamps) beneﬁts; and • Live in California Newly pregnant women, migrant workers and working families are encouraged to apply. Pregnant women may apply as soon as they know they’re pregnant. Moms, dads, grandparents, foster parents, other caregivers and guardians may apply on behalf of the children they’re raising. Many working families and families with private health insurance are surprised to learn they qualify for WIC. To determine if they meet WIC income guidelines, individuals may visit wicworks.ca.gov or the California WIC Mobile Website at m.wic.ca.gov The WIC Program serves residents throughout El Dorado County. “WIC staff are providing remote appointments for families while physically distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beneﬁts can be added remotely to the WIC Card,” said Deutsche. “We encourage anyone interested in the WIC Program to call us today to see if they qualify.” To reach WIC staff, call (530) 621-6176 on the West Slope of El Dorado County or (530) 573-3491

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO

PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 02/08/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Trustor: MICHAEL J COZAKAS AND KAREN COZAKAS Husband and wife as Joint Tenants Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC Deed of Trust Recorded 02/14/2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0010739-00 in book ---, page--- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Date of Sale: 01/21/2021 at 01:00 PM Place of Sale: Main Entrance El Dorado County Superior Courthouse - Placerville Main Street Branch, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Estimated amount of unpaid balance, reasonably estimated costs and other charges: $ 896,445.90 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE THE TRUSTEE 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, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1241 ARROWBEE DR, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667-9396 A.P.N.: 105-170-001-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the 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: $ 896,445.90. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. 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 of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2019-02187-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.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section

1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NO.: 9462-6710 TSG ORDER NO.: 200309915-CA-VOI A.P.N.: 319-320-002-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 09/28/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 10/24/2007 as Document No.: 2007-006639400, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by: DIANE M STEVENSON, DUANE R STEVENSON, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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). 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, and as more fully described in the attached legal description. Sale Date & Time: 01/13/2021 at 10:00 AM Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5253 DEERWOOD DR (Unincorporated Area) , SHINGLE SPRINGS, CA 95682 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $142,214.50 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-6710. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 833-290- 7452, or visit this internet website http://www. affiniadefault.com/purchasers, using the file number assigned to this case, 9462-6710, 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. 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. Affinia Default Services, LLC 301 E.
