Taking climate action one step at a time
● Move over Earth Day, here comes Sun Day
By Christian Kallen
The 24-inch-by-20-inch blue signs have popped up at a number of streetside locations around town: in front yards and shop driveways, at Rec Park and Bell’s Ambulance, even at the
Big John’s intersection. They’re anti-idling signs, encouraging drivers to “Turn Your Key, Be Idle Free!” Although a small, three-person group has done most of the work on this, the
environmental dangers of idling have begun to break through to the local public’s attention.
The signs are the latest iteration of the Anti-Idling Committee’s ongoing efforts, derived from the energy of the hundred or so active participants in Climate Action Healdsburg. This particular subgroup—Richard
Cochran, Stephanie Callimanis Turk and Charlene Luks—has worked on its own for well over a year, meeting with Police Chief Matt Jenkins, city planners and managers. And it has results to show for it.

Windsor
‘Quiet Zone’ now in effect
● Train horns to be quelled at in-town intersections
By Christian Kallen
Residents of the Town of Windsor should be able to sleep in a bit longer this week. Town Manager Jon Davis said that the town would have a final inspection from the Federal Rail Administration on Monday, Aug. 4, following which “Quiet Zone” signage along the railroad track would be unveiled that would forbid SMART trains from using their horns within city limits. Right on schedule, SMART issued a press release at 1pm on Monday: “The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has approved the establishment of a Quiet Zone in Windsor. With the Windsor Quiet Zone now approved, routine use of the train horn at designated crossings in Windsor will be discontinued beginning Tuesday, August 5, 2025.”
So the good news is that the morning trains should be a lot quieter crossing intersections

What does the Planning Commission
By Vesna Breznikar
I served my first four-year term as Planning Commissioner and stepped down after two years into my second term. I felt frustrated by all the luxury applications to the Planning Department and the inclusion of hotels with every project that was presented to us. On the other hand, we were able to procure a large amount of low-income housing for our town because of the requirements set by the city on large developments.
The Planning Commission works in a collaborative way with the Planning Department and the City Council. Commissioners are selected by the council and advise the city on the merit of upcoming projects. We keep in mind the wishes of the residents and protect the environment and our tree inventory. The city’s Master Plan sets the ultimate building regulations. The city Design Guidelines pinpoint requirements for proposed developments.
However, these guidelines are not enforceable rules, so there are always compromises in this process. “You can’t always get what you want …” and we did not find a formula for the “missing mid-

Parks and Rec

ONGOING
Free Wine Tastings

dle” housing needs. The commissioners study many architectural proposals, and the hours of study can be long. It is a very gratifying experience to have a voice that determines the look of our town, weighing progress against our smalltown charm.
I have mixed feelings about the growth of so many high-end developments and feel that we need to diversify our economy and not rely solely on tourism and resorts. Creative industries and educational institutions could bring much more value to our residents and add to a more stable economy. The new commissioner will have a lot of input on the development of the old Syar property. This is an opportunity for middle-income housing and new creative industry rather than another resort.
The city has recently created an Arts and Culture Commission to promote creative ideas and support them both financially and with new regulations. We envision a long overdue 1% fee for art on large projects. This was a lost opportunity on the large developments we are currently building in town. The fee would beautify our city with memorable public art that will add to our current richness
of visual art, music and theater venues. Art and culture enrich residents’ and visitors’ experience but have been an overlooked revenue stream for our city.
These are all issues that the Planning Commission will consider on future projects.
Applications for the Planning Commission are available from rallen@healdsburg.gov, and are due at City Hall by 5:30pm, Aug. 14.

Golden season for apricots
● County Fair a time to cook and play
By Liza Gershman
Even now, in early August, the morning air carries a chill more familiar to spring than high summer heat. Tomato vines hesitated. Peaches took their time. Only this week did the real warmth arrive— sunlight pressing into the ground, drawing out ripeness at last.
The apricots came on schedule. Faithful, golden, just in time to turn into jam.
In my family, this is jam season.
We peel apricots with the backs of our thumbs, the skins slipping free like old lace. There’s lemon, a heap of sugar and the slow alchemy of time and heat. My mother and I stand at the stove together, stirring with restless attention. We measure by scent, by color, by feel. No timer needed. The bubbling pot tells us when it’s ready.
This year, our jars rest next to more than just jam. We’ve both entered the Sonoma County Fair’s table decorating contest—two imagined tables set for guests we dreamed up. We’ll know the results by the time this is printed, but the ribbon isn’t really the point. We enjoyed the process. Choosing linens, arranging flowers, finding small objects that felt like they belonged.
Fairs have always been about that kind of offering. A pie, a bouquet, a perfect tomato. A quiet kind of pride in what’s been locally grown or made.
I’ve entered before. As a teenager, I submitted photographs to the Youth building. Before that, I stitched a dress for the sewing competition. One summer, my mother painted a mural backdrop for the Hall of Flowers while I helped lay down the yellow brick road. I still remember the scent of tempera paint and glue, the shimmer of gold foil under overhead lights.
The first American agricultural fair was held in 1765 in what’s now Pennsylvania—11 years before the country was founded. It was just a two-day agricultural market then. By 1811, New England farmer Elkanah Watson had formalized the concept with livestock judging in Massachusetts. From there, the idea of community ag fairs spread across the country like wind-scattered seed.
The Sonoma County Fair began in 1936 with a modest collection of exhibits, horse races and a floral display. Even then, people arrived with pies, jams, dahlias, quilts—each entry a small act of celebration and skill.
COUNTY FAIR A visiting farmer checks out the rides at the Sonoma County Fair, at the fairgrounds until Aug. 10.
The fair brings in visitors to the region, fills motel rooms for the staff and concessions, keeps local vendors busy. People don’t always think about the setup crews, the electricians, the kids who save their prize money for college. But it all adds up quietly, year after year, and it has an important economic boost.
Inside the Home Arts building, the jars line up behind glass. There are pies, pickles, cakes and jams. Quilts. Crocheted baby blankets. Everything labeled and displayed. These aren’t just entries. They’re glimpses into how someone spent their summer. Their kitchen. Their time.
Apricot jam is often among the first preserves to be entered. A bright, tart echo of early summer, it shows up just as the season begins to deepen. Some years it’s perfectly smooth, others it’s more rustic. Either way, it arrives with a sense of pride. A good jam takes time— often five hours or more from fruit to jar. There’s peeling, pitting, slow cooking, skimming, sterilizing, sealing. It’s not a quick thing.
Even as agricultural entries have declined in some areas, home arts contests have grown—bread, preserves, pies—filling that same space of tradition and community.
Tawny Tesconi, longtime manager of
the Sonoma County Fair over the years and a lifelong advocate for agricultural traditions, once told me her love of it all began with a single 4-H entry. She and her brother never stopped showing up. “The fair gives people a place to be part of something lasting,” she said. “It’s where tradition and community meet.”
This week, the jars are lined up under the lights. Our tables are there, too—side by side in the Floriculture building. The days are finally warm. The apricots won’t last much longer.
But their sweetness lingers.
What’s in Season
Healdsburg Farmers’ Market stalls are overflowing with tomatoes, stone fruit, squash blossoms, corn, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, basil, berries, figs and melons. Look for heirloom varieties, sunflowers and early grapes arriving at the Tuesday and Saturday markets.

Shakespeare in the Piazza, with pizza
● Bacchus Landing hosts Raven Players’ ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’
By Harry Duke
For years, Healdsburg’s Raven Players has presented a summer Shakespeare production “under the stars” at the perfectly serviceable but rather bland West Plaza Park. They’ve upgraded a bit this year by relocating to Bacchus Landing for their production of Two Gentlemen of Verona. The Wine & Event Center is hosting the production through Aug. 16.
There’s a small elevated stage in the Center’s piazza with a wall over which the Players have draped a backdrop to provide a sense of location. Rows of padded chairs face the stage with a few tables and cushier chairs in the front available to those willing to shell out a few more bucks. Wine and wood-fired oven pizza are available for purchase to make the evening more of an outing.
The show itself is one of Shakepeare’s earlier works. I’ve always thought it was one of the Bard’s easier plays to follow, written before he got all “Shakespeare-y.” It’s the tale of besties Valentine (Matt Farrell) and Proteus (Paul MacKinnon) whose friendship is tested by, of course, a woman. Valentine leaves Verona for Milan where he falls in love with Sylvia (Kate Edery). Proteus stays back in Verona as he can’t bear to leave his love Julia (Alyssa Rempel), but soon finds himself sent to Verona anyway. He becomes smitten with Sylvia himself
and, as all best friends do, plots to have Valentine removed from the picture. Word gets back to Julia what Proteus is up to, so she disguises herself as a man and heads for Milan to see what’s up. Comedy ensues.
Co-directors Steven David Martin and Jenna Vera Dolcini have made this a “concept” production with the concept being Shakespeare set in 1950s Italy. That means leather jackets and bad pompadour wigs for the boys, poodle skirts and saddle shoes for the girls, and really bad Italian accents for everyone. Adjusting one’s ear to the language of Shakespeare is a bit more challenging with the wildly over-the-top and often inconsistent accents.
Also challenging is the occasional low-flying jet from nearby Sonoma County Airport, the constant beeping of pizza pagers, and the inflow and outflow from the audience of those pizza-seeking patrons.
The Raven’s summer Shakespeare productions have always been sort of light-hearted larks, as is this one. Patron’s enjoyment of it may be in direct proportion to the amount of wine they ingest beforehand.
The Raven Players present ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ through Aug. 16 at Bacchus Landing, 14210 Bacchus Landing Way, Healdsburg. Thu–Sat, 7:30pm. $5-$25. 707.433.6335. raventheater.org
ISOBEL MARIA DRAGOS
February 27, 1947 – July 10, 2025
She always buzzed with energy, with a sparkle in her eye and a kind presence that made others feel welcome. She loved walking and hiking with her dogs, cooking big meals for the Kiwanis Club, and hosting gatherings that brought people together over good food and laughter.
Champagne in hand, she had a way of making every occasion feel relaxed and celebratory, and she remained a steady, integral part of many people’s lives over the years.
Isobel was the beloved mother of Rachel Sweet-Davies and the stepmother of Amanda Carr and Bram Dragos. She leaves behind a circle of family and friends who adored her and who will carry her memory with deep affection.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 2-5pm at Geyserville Grange, Geyserville.
NITA M. GREN
March 31, 1943 – July 20, 2025
Devoted wife, mother, and nonni, Nita (née Ferraris) Gren, age 82, passed away peacefully in her home on July 20, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved only child of Fidele and Margaret (Barella) Ferraris. She cherished her large extended family and had countless fond memories of growing up with her cousins. Her family meant the world to her.
It was in Healdsburg where she met the love of her life, Spencer Gren. Their love story spanned more than 60 years, a testament to enduring devotion and partnership. Nita loved spending time near the ocean and in Lake Tahoe. She will be remembered for the light she brought into every room and into people’s hearts. She was a trusted friend and confidant.
Nita is survived by her husband, Spencer, her son Mark (Chris), her daughter Tina, and her grandchildren, Coleson, Grayson and Ella.
A Mass in honor of Nita will be held at St. John’s in Healdsburg on August 9, 2025 at 11 a.m.
A celebration of life immediately to follow at the St. John’s hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Nita’s memory to Sutter Care at Home (Hospice) at: www.suttercareathome.org/giving
To My Beautiful Wife, Alyssa Hambly,
F rom the day I first set eyes on you, you are the most beautiful woman that God has created. Your spark of joy and genuine smile fill my heart with gladness. Your mastery in violin is soothing to my soul. Just thinking of you always brings comfort and an intense desire to be by your side. I am so delighted that God brought you to me. I care and love you deeply, from here to the moon, to the distant stars, and for eternity to come.
Happy Anniversary.
Your Loving Husband, Allan

Lowrider culture shows its colors at Latino-owned winery
● ‘Wine & Shine’ at Bacchus Landing
By Tenay Macmillan
My affection for lowriders started when I was old enough to stumble out of our front door, still diaper-clad, to chase after the ice cream truck’s sirens. Painted in dynamically vibrant colors that shimmered in the sun, or under the street lights that called me home for curfew, lowriders would roll slowly through our neighborhood in Los Angeles (“818 before the split”), bumpin’ and bouncin.’
So when I heard about the Wine & Shine: Inaugural Lowrider and Classic Car Show at Bacchus Lading on July 27, it called out to me.
Lowriders were born out of Mexican-Americans’ desire to be visible and to own their heritage and culture in an unapologetic way. Lowriders were a response to their pressured repatriation of the 1930s and ’40s and invisible service in World War II, and a visual protest to hot rodders’ lifted cars. Art as resistance: Mesmerizing metallics and geometric patterns demanded every passerby’s
attention. They were museum pieces on four wheels, often passed down within the family through generations.
Originally, lowriders used weights, bricks and even cement blocks in their trunks to achieve that signature dip.
Then, in 1958, California passed CVC section 24008, to restrict how low cars could be in relation to the bottom of their wheel rim. It was seen as a targeted attack against the community.
Ever clever and rebellious, Lowriders began installing hydraulics in their low-and-slows, so at the flick of a switch, “Nothing to see here, Officer.”
During the Chicano Rights movements of the ’70s, Lowriders and their car clubs assumed more direct political and human rights roles such as fundraising for Labor Unions, health protections and community outreach programs. Community outreach became integral to Lowrider identity.
My family was a jigsaw of Latin countries, including Mexico, but Peruvian traditions had the strongest hold on us,
so we appreciated lowriders from the periphery and through the ever present Lowrider Magazine. Its eye-catching covers boasted intimidatingly perfect Latinas, somehow standing fiercely in six-inch stilettos, against the gleaming metal backdrop of lowriders.
It was an exception to see Latinos in a publication, so I always looked for it, even if my mom rarely let me bring one home. My mom was a shutterbug, and gave me my first 35mm film camera when I was 6 years old. She could appreciate the artistry of the car images, but she had also been a model for a short while and that experience led her to restrict most bikini-clad images from entering our home—superheroes being the exception.
In 1988, California responded by passing a measure that banned lowriding and cruising.
A year after the ban, we were transplanted to a homogenous suburb in Silicon Valley. Far away from most of my extended Latino family and any lowrider cruising boulevard, seeing Lowrider Magazine at my local 7-Eleven felt like a portal to home. It made me feel seen.
The show
Bacchus Landing’s Mediterranean architecture and masonry created lovely backdrops for the cars, but I had no idea that Lowrider royalty sat at the helm of this show. Monica Lopez, proprietor of Aldina Vineyards and Bacchus Landing, was the daughter of Alberto Lopez, part of the trio who had re-birthed Lowrider Magazine from a defunct publication and catapulted it to cult status. He was inducted into the Lowrider Hall of Fame in 2010 with the Visionary Award. Having had this knowledge beforehand, I would have scheduled my day differently.
The exterior parking lot was filled with gorgeous lowriders and classics, with several food trucks off to the far side. When I walked into the interior courtyard, I found a “lowrider museum.” Many of these cars had been in actual museums and exhibits, and featured in numerous publications ranging from the car-centric to the Smithsonian.
Chris Roark’s Final Score, a 1958 Chevy Impala which had been featured on the cover of MotorTrend Magazine after earning its third Lowrider of the Year title, stood as a centerpiece in the courtyard. Its rainbow geometry on glimmering gold drew me to it like a magnet. Roark has a long history of creating title-winning lowriders under his business of C&C Customs, earning him Builder of the Year from National Roadster Shows in 2024.
Krypto9, a 1959 Impala owned by Angel Gomez, was appropriately angled
‘KRYPTO 9’ This 1959 Chevy Impala, one of the American cars most favored for lowriders, earned ‘Impala Magazine’s’ Car of the Year Award in 2023. The owner, Angel Gomez, displayed it at the Wine & Shine show at Bacchus Landing last month.
next to Final Score. This emerald-green dream machine earned Impala Magazine’s Car of the Year Award in 2023. I knew I did not have enough time to capture even these two immaculate pieces of art, let alone the dozen other beauties in the courtyard, but I tried. One of the others that I barely captured was Bill Llamas’ Pocos Locos, a 1940 Chevrolet Business Coupe that served as a centerpiece of Sonoma County Museum’s “Cruisin’” exhibit last year.
“Creating the Wine & Shine Lowrider and Classics car show was very much an intentional way to celebrate and elevate Mexican-American heritage and culture within the wine industry,” Monica Lopez told me later.
“The wine industry has long benefited from the contributions of Latinos at every level, yet that cultural presence isn’t always reflected in the public-facing side of the business,” she added. “This event is one way to bridge that gap—by
Climate Action
— Continued from page 1 sent a letter to 10 wine tour companies informing them of Healdsburg’s City Ordinance 10.28.160, which requires that “vehicles which emit exhaust fumes into the air shall be turned off while the vehicle is stopped or standing or parked on a public street or public parking area.”
The group also focused on elementary school parent drop-off and pick-up lanes, such as Fitch Street at Matheson near St. John’s School and on First Street at HES. The members installed red signs at the parking areas reminding parents that students are breathing in the area (“Estudiantes Respirando!”).
Their current effort to place the bilingual blue signs around town, and distribute 4-inch-by-6-inch cards with a “stop idling” message in both Spanish and English, comes with the City of Healdsburg’s endorsement.
creating space for cultural expression that’s authentic to us.”
Though this year’s inaugural Wine & Shine was put together in a matter of months, Lopez thinks the time is right to do it again. “Given the incredible response to the inaugural Wine & Shine, we’d love to make this an annual event,” she said. “The energy, creativity and community support behind this show has been inspiring—it’s definitely something we want to grow.”
Police Chief Matt Jenkins said the “City drafted and printed the cards that Cochran and the committee are using in this initiative,” part of the standard emphasis on education over enforcement. But since idling is a violation of a city ordinance, Jenkins indicated the department was prepared to go further: Each cited violation carries a $40 parking fine.
Climate Action Healdsburg
The anti-idling group derives its energy from Climate Action Healdsburg, an informal group formed just three years ago to help build the city’s Climate Mobilization Strategy. It’s made up of people who want to participate in solutions instead of just writing letters. Tyra Benoit is the voice of the organization, though she balks at a title. A retired college history teacher and dean at Santa Rosa Junior College, she and her husband found themselves relocated to Healdsburg in 2020 after their house in Larkfield was destroyed by fire.
Three subgroups were formed to work on general issues—a Political Action Team chaired by Hank Skewis, Community Campaigns chaired by Judy Fujita and a Community Events team with Erica Gutierrez. Benoit believes that empowering these subgroups is what makes the whole thing work.
“What we want is for people if they have something that they’re passionate about, let them do it,” she said. “Like anti-idling. That became a passion for Stephanie and for Dick. For Gail Jonas and Linus Lancaster, it’s beaver restoration on the Russian River.”
Another community campaign visible over the past three years is Move! Healdsburg, which promotes bike travel and walking with regular group rides in the Healdsburg area. Judy Fujita currently leads the group’s efforts, which have turned more to advocacy instead of just bike rides.

Climate Action
— Continued from page 7
With bicyclists’ safety one factor among others, several members of the group showed up at the City Council meeting on Aug. 4 to encourage another look at the lane widths planned for March Avenue in the upcoming street renovation. Judy Fujita, Mark McMullen, Doug Lyle and two others all made the case for a 10-foot lane width, as opposed
to the planned 11-foot width.
While five speakers was thought to be enough to convince a councilmember to move to put the issue on the agenda at the end of the meeting, that did not happen. But the Climate contingent is planning its next move, if there is one–a direct meeting with Public Works Director Larry Zimmer.
Here Comes the Sun Day
While several committees of Climate Action Healdsburg have been in the trenches, the annual Earth Day event in the Plaza this year did not happen due to divided obligations. But Tyra Benoit and Erica Gutierrez of the Events team have set their sights on a worthwhile alternate: Sun Day, set for Sept. 21 (a Sunday of course), the autumnal equinox.
The ad hoc holiday is the work of grassroots organizations, clean energy experts, solar industry and worker organizations, schools and other partners. Their goal is to recognize the ready availability of solar power and its inevitable future as a primary global source for electrical energy.
A Healdsburg Sun Day, Benoit said, would be a positive thing to do in an admittedly difficult time. “We want to make it joyful. We want to make it fun for
kids and families, and just give people hope. I think that’s what we’re all hungry for right now, is we need to know that we have a future,” she said.
She cites a recent article in The New Yorker by Bill McKibben. “4.6 billion years on, the sun is having a moment,” he says, arguing that despite its former perception as an unrealistic fantasy, “renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world.” He backs it up with statistics and 5,300 words.
Benoit and Gutierrez applied for a city events permit to hold a Sun Day fair in the Plaza, but were turned down. The Plaza events calendar is usually confirmed and permitted a year in advance. The West Plaza Park, previously the site of Shakespeare productions, remains a possibility, as does the City Hall parking lot where the Vamos al Tianguis markets are held.
Among their many plans: a mini film festival featuring the award-winning film Idle Threat: Man on Emission. About, of course, the environmental dangers of letting one’s car idle instead of just turning it off.

departures, at least until the requested QZ was approved.
SMART agreed after brief consideration and stopped running the early trains. However, it promised to return to the early morning schedule once the QZ was approved. Julia Gonzalez, SMART’s communications manager, assured quick reaction to the FRA decision when it comes.
“The same day that it becomes effective is when we will resume the full train schedule,” she said. “We’re able to provide that service from one day to the next because that’s already our train schedule.”
SMART’s Aug. 4 press release also stated, “SMART engineers will continue to sound the train horn in emergency or safety-critical situations—such as when people, vehicles, or construction crews are on or near the tracks—or when required by SMART’s operating rules.”
Engineers can still use the horn in emergency situations or where the FRA has determined that it’s needed at an unsafe crossing, as allowed by federal law.
‘Quiet Zone’
— Continued from page 1
inside town limits, not only in the early morning hours but throughout the train’s daily schedule. The other side of that is that the trains will still run—and they are not entirely silent on their own. The implementation of a Quiet Zone (QZ) in Windsor became crucial to resi-
dents as soon as the first early morning train left Windsor Station at 4:35am on Monday, June 2. That and two other trains before 6am were scheduled to head south to the airport and beyond every weekday, per the full schedule that SMART follows for its north-to-south route.
A chorus of complaints from town residents over the pre-dawn sounding of a 110-decible train horn, however, forced Davis to request the transportation agency cease the three earliest weekday
When service resumes, 21 southbound trains will depart Windsor Station daily between 4:35am and 7:05pm, with eight departures on holidays and weekends between 7:12am and 6:06pm. A like number of northbound trains would arrive as late as 10:10pm on weekdays and 9:07pm on weekends. That adds up to 42 train passages through Windsor on a weekday, 16 on weekend days.
Train horns
The sounding of a train horn is not an automated action, it is performed by the engineer. In rural areas, trains make
a lot of noise: Locomotive engineers are generally required to sound train horns at least 15 seconds and no more than 20 seconds before reaching a public highway-rail grade crossing.
But local government agencies can apply to restrict the usage of train horns at railroad crossings which meet specified criteria. These crossings are then considered QZs and on approach to such crossings train locomotives are required to not sound their horns.
The request for and implementation of a QZ is by no means unique to Windsor. Most cities in Sonoma and Marin counties now have them.
But the history of QZs along SMART’s rail line has not been smooth sailing, or railing. In 2017, the relatively new SMART services got as far as Petaluma before residents were able to do something about the horn noise the trains made as they approached intersections. Petaluma installed Quiet Zone signage, but SMART drivers ignored them, not accepting their legal validity.
SMART’s general manager at the time, Farhad Mansourian, initially considered litigation against Petaluma for prohibiting horns at eight in-city locations. But he found that the Federal Rail Administration endorsed Petaluma’s QZ applications and, facing a fine for willfully sounding horns in violation of QZs, SMART backed off.

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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. 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 (949) 776-4697 or visit this Internet Website https://prestigepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 24-13177. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 (949) 776-4697, or visit this internet website https://prestigepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 24-13177 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.
