Forum maps arts landscape ● Community outreach embraces youth, lifelong learners Staff Report More than 55 educators, artists, parents, students, nonprofit leaders and city representatives gathered a couple of Sundays ago at The 222 for the first Healdsburg Community Arts Education Forum, titled “Inspiring Creative Futures.”

The event brought together a cross-section of the community, including a strong group of youth voices, who all shared the goal of strengthening arts

education as a cornerstone of student success, community wellbeing and Healdsburg’s long-term cultural vitality.

Organized by the City’s Arts and Culture Commission in partnership with Healdsburg Unified School District and hosted

by The 222, the forum reflected a belief that creativity is not an “extra,” but an essential part of a thriving community.

VISIONARIES? Devon Zuegel, left, and Michael Yarne of the Esmeralda Land Company field questions from locals at the Feb. 5 open house in Cloverdale’s Veterans Memorial Building. They are planning a 266-acre housing development in the southeast corner of town.

Esmeralda — Continued from page 1

is less about the planned housing development itself as it is about the context Zuegle has been making for the project for three years, and her connection to nontraditional followers of such social trends as the “Nation States” movement, artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Those objections, while outside of a city planning department’s purview, have become part of the conversation largely due to Zuegel’s own efforts to pre-market the concept through the annual Edge Esmeralda conference in Healdsburg.

“In parallel to planning the permanent physical development, we’ve been testing the concept through Edge Esmeralda, a month-long "pop-up village" that draws

1,000+ attendees each summer,” Zuegel told the Tribune. “It functions kind of like a college campus, where participants self-organize workshops and activities in addition to the primary planned events.”

But the connection with the Edge global series of “pop-up villages” (edgecity.live) split the crowd along predictable lines: rural vs. urban, old vs. young, traditional vs. innovative. Hence, smart talk about “high-agency people” and “society incubators” did little to sway anyone already pre-conditioned to disagree.

Still, the purpose of the meeting—to further inform the residents of Cloverdale about the scope and viability of the Esmeralda development—was largely met. Following their introduction by Mayor Brian Wheeler, the pair traded microphone and digital clicker to advance through their presentation for almost an hour. Zuegel has been making the rounds in Cloverdale’s government and business

LINING UP Locals queue up to ask questions about the Esmeralda development being planned for southern Cloverdale. The residents had many questions, many pertaining to the cultural impact of the housing project on their largely rural town.

circles for three years to develop a community on the available 266 acres inside the city’s southeast quadrant.

The property, once the site of a sawmill, Masonite facility, gravel mine and truck repair shop, was approved by the City of Cloverdale for the Alexander Valley Resort over 20 years ago, but that project, complete with a private 18-hole golf course, never went into development.

Though Zuegel and Yarne did expand on the possible contamination of the site from its previous uses, they quoted the State Water Board’s recent judgment that, “The site has been fully assessed and remediated to the extent practicable, and current site conditions pose little risk to human health or the environment.”

But they had to acknowledge a not-insignificant parallelogram near the hotel area, roughly 9% of the overall acreage, that could not be developed, pending further testing and soil remediation.

Visioning Zuegel’s vision for the property is a new housing development of up to 600 residences—single-family dwellings, multigenerational homes and even ADUs (accessory dwelling units). No golf course. There would also be room for a large hotel, some retail and office space, an outdoor amphitheater and possibly a school, depending on the city’s direction. All of which were presented in terms of their positive impact on the City of Cloverdale, including everything from tax revenue to utility support and pedestrian advantages.

The pair also took the attendees on a visual “tour” of the speculative development with a series of projections and maps, including what they called a “Necklace Trail” that would eventually — More on page 9

Leaks in boys’ version of school lab ● News curated from the Healdsburg Tribune of 125, 75 and 50 years ago 125 years ago – February 21, 1901

No Exaggeration in High School Boys’ Article on Condition of Building As an illustration of the veracity of the remarks about the High School building, which appeared in the Boys’ edition of the Tribune last week, a little description might be given of the condition of the laboratory during the last rain. The window casing did not prove efficient in keeping out the water, so two copper beakers and a glass dish were placed upon the sill to catch the frequent streams. From the ceiling, in about the center of the room, a quantity of water fell. A pan was placed upon a chair to catch the drops, while two pails and a pan upon the floor served the same purpose. Four smaller leaks nearby were not thus provided for. As nothing had been done to catch the water until quite late in the day, the floor was damp, but fortunately this was not under

the pupils’ feet. The patched and waterstained plaster showed that this was not the first occurrence of the kind. So long as the building remains the same and Nature sends our annual rain storms, it will not be the last time that our laboratory apparatus will serve as receptacles for leakage.

During the greater part of the day, five days in the week, the school building is open for inspection by those who wish to see and believe. —A. F. A., Class of ’02.

Garrett Hardware Gets Approval for New Store After nearly 40-minutes of argument Tuesday night over where a driveway ought to go, the Planning Commission decided to set that matter aside for two weeks and let the owners of Garrett Hardware begin construction of a new store. The new 14,000 square foot building will be located at March and Healdsburg Avenues. It will have 50 parking spaces, a 640 square foot shop area, fencing for security, and landscaping.

Owners Clinton DeWitt and Mark Klein expect construction to begin immediately and to be completed by late spring.

Planners approved a lot split at the site, but ran into a snag of whether to approve a common driveway off Healdsburg Avenue to serve the hardware store and whoever may use a lot next door. Klein and DeWitt intend to purchase the second lot. Both lots are nearly an acre.

The lot split, a negative environmental impact statement, and the design review were approved.

Four effective ways to lower your home insurance rates

● Rates are rising, but you aren’t powerless

By Janis Mara

A Photo by Aldo Billingslea

PREPPING Isaac Addai (as Thami Mbikwana) complains about the debate coach Mr. M (played by Ansley Valentine, not shown) as Emma Lenza (played by Isabel Dyson) takes note. The Athol Fugard play ‘My Children, My Africa’ continues at The 222 through Feb. 22.

Racial debate on stage ● Fugard’s ‘My Children! My Africa!’ at The 222

By Beulah F. Vega In his director’s notes, Robert Parsons says of My Children! My Africa!, now playing at The 222 in Healdsburg through Feb. 22, that “this play does not lecture.” Which is an interesting statement considering the L.A. Times quoted the play’s author, Athol Fugard, as saying of this play, “Youth in any country, especially the U.S., can’t just sit back and expect things to change. You all have to become political animals.”

The play follows Mr. M (Ansley Valentine), an idealistic Black high school teacher in Apartheid South Africa, who proposes a hopeful idea to unite youth.

He creates an integrated debate team consisting of his star pupil, Thami (Isaac Addai), and the star debater from a white school, Isabel (Emma Lenza). However, revolution is in the air.

The script could be poetry in its exactness of word choice and intensity of emotion. Addai gives a controlled, believable performance. His Thami is a quiet, reflective young adult on the cusp of painful lessons, both personal and political.

Lenza has a difficult role. Isabel calls for an acute situational awareness at all times without falling into suspicion. Lenza’s Isabel doesn’t quite reach the tauntness she deserves, but she also never gives in to any lesser motives, giving a

compassionate performance throughout.

Valentine is a powerhouse of an actor with an amazing voice, who has found all of Mr. M’s passion. However, there is no respite from the passion in his portrayal, and being hit with it from every word is exhausting as an audience member.

The play works well on The 222’s stripped stage. Ansley Valentine’s precise set design, Robin DeLuca’s stark lighting, Maris Whitmore’s cohesive sound design and simple costumes by Adriana Gutierrez create a perfect minimalism that allows the play’s big ideas, rather than theatrical trappings, to fill the space.

Fair warning that this is the sort of play to which audience members will want to bring tissues. It is not a fluffy play by any means, forcing its audience to listen carefully and think deeply about difficult topics. Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with the conclusions, it’s an important play to experience. There is a reason that Athol Fugard is considered one of the most important playwrights of the 20th century after all.

Yes, this play lectures. But lecturing isn’t a negative.

‘My Children! My Africa!’ runs through Feb. 22 at The 222, 222 Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. $45-$105. Students free with ID. 707.473.9152. the222.org

s the impact of the wildfires that ravaged Southern California continues, home insure r s a re r a i si n g r at e s — but t h e re a re ways homeow ners c a n keep the increases down.

An estimated 21 percent increase was predicted for California home insurance in 2025, at an average of $2,930 annually. And policyholders could see jumps up to 16 percent over the next two years, according to insurance comparison platform Insurify.

Amy Bach of San Francisco-based Policyholders United, a 36-year-old consumer advocacy group, said her organization is lobbying for a new national law that would oblige insurance companies to share the information that leads an insurer either to decide not to insure a home or charge a higher rate.

In the meantime, Bach shared details of that information.

“The most important thing you can do is to raise your deductible,” Bach said. “We advise homeowners to carry a high deductible of $5,000 or $10,000.”

Insurers are looking at a given homeowner’s risk profile, she said. “You want to have a good risk profile. One way is by having a clean record. Save your insurance for the really big things.”

This advice actually has been relevant for some time. For decades, the wisest approach has been to cover the cost of repairs yourself unless it’s something truly major, because making a claim can result in premiums going up, or even in a policy not being renewed.

The second most important move is to reduce or eliminate coverage you don’t need, Bach said.

“When you insure your home, even if you don’t have a garage or a pool or a shed or a barn, insurers will automatically include coverage for what is called ‘other structures,’” the attorney said.

“So if you don’t have other structures, you can ask for that to be taken off the policy.”

Bundling coverage—insuring your car and home on the same policy—is another measure that can bring costs down, Bach said. Often, you can save 5 to 25 percent on total insurance costs by doing so, though discounts vary by insurer.

Another tip: “Find that proactive insurance broker I jokingly say isn’t drowning their sorrows in the nearest tavern but is out there beating the bushes to find the best deal for their clients.”

To find a good broker, ask friends for a referral or visit the Policyholders United website at https://uphelp.org/ There’s one exception to Bach’s money-saving advice. She cautions against reducing insurance on the dwelling— the house itself. While it does cost, it’s important not to be underinsured.

“In LA, we are finding that 80 percent of the dwellers didn’t have enough insurance on their dwelling,” she said.

RECENT SALES AND PRICES In Healdsburg, the median home is about $1.072 million, according to the Zillow Home Value Index.

Homes are selling more slowly in Sonoma County, according to Redfin. On average, homes in Sonoma County sell after 71 days on the market compared to 58 days last year. In January 2026, Sonoma County home prices were up 0.7 percent compared to last year, selling for a median price of $772,000. There were 201 homes sold in January this year, down from 220 last year.

LIFE LESSONS Helen Ann Haun listens to her coach, the late Neil Cronin, before a vault at the Meet of Champions in 2013.

She joins the Healdsburg High Athletic Hall of Fame as Helen Ann Haun-Smith on Feb. 22.

Hall of Fame welcomes 7 new Greyhounds

● New members date from 1974 to 2013 Staff Report On Sunday, Feb. 22, Healdsburg High’s Athletic Hall of Fame will hold an “induction” celebration, sponsored by the high school, HHS Boosters, American Legion Post 111, the Healdsburg Kiwanis Club and the Key Club, to welcome new members to the prestigious list, founded in 1992.

Six former Greyhound student-athletes will be named to the school’s Hall of Fame (HOF), and one “honorary” member in Sue Hardaway, who was a successful Healdsburg High girls basketball coach (and avid local golfer).

This year’s inductees represent HHS athletics from as far back as the class of

1974 (Brian Herman) into the previous decade (Cassidy Jourdan, Class of 2012) and Helen Ann Haun-Smith (2013). In between are Chalmers “Bebber” Fitzpatrick (Class of ’88), Hector Delgado (Class of ’88) and Jordan Bugarske (Class of ’96).

This year a new feature will be introduced—the awards ceremony will be accompanied by a Legends Ball, billed as the “1st Annual,” to help give the significance of the event the status it deserves.

The seven inductees, including the honorary member, Sue Hardaway, will be recognized on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 22, with drinks, a catered dinner, entry into the ceremony and access to the auctions.

Cost of admission is $106 (including fees), which grants one a seat at the table as history is made.

“HHS needed to hold a fundraiser to offset constant rising costs to operate

sports,” said the school’s athletic director, Brian Osborn. “Hopefully this year will be a success and something the community can look forward to for years to come.”

Richard Bugarkse will again emcee the ceremony, having produced a slideshow to introduce the new members.

He notes that his son Jordan joins older brother Aaron as a member of the HOF, but they are not the only siblings represented. “Chal Bebber Fitzpatrick will be joining her sister, Lainie Bebber Walling.

Helen Ann Haun-Smith will be joining her dad, Graham Haun,” he said.

“I have always felt that athletics, broadly defined, should be part of growing up for all young folks,” said the senior Bugarske, a former Windsor and Healdsburg teacher and administrator who has announced Greyhound athletic games and events since 1989.

PASSING IT FORWARD Cassidy Jourdan, kneeling in red, outlines play action for the 2025 Healdsburg High girls JV basketball team. Former assistant JV basketball coach Amanda Beeler stands to her right. Jourdan, Class of 2012, joins the Healdsburg Athletic Hall of Fame on Feb. 22.

“It can build self-confidence, self-discipline and help build community when athletes and families share a common experience,” he added. “We celebrate academic, communit y and athletic excellence in many ways, and our Healdsburg High Athletic Hall of Fame is a part of those celebrations.”

The HOF currently has 61 members including four honorary members; this year’s class will bring the total to 68. Oldest on the list is Ralph Rose, a multiple Olympic medal winner in shot put, discus and hammer throws from the Class of 1904. The first shot putter to break 50 feet, his 1909 record of 51 feet lasted for 16 years.

Doors open at 1pm for check-in; the ceremony itself lasts from about 2-4pm, during which the former student athletes will be introduced by their sponsors. An hour-long silent auction and “mingle” follows, with the catered dinner by Agave Restaurant starting at 5pm.

Silent auction results will be announced starting at 6:30pm, with 100% of the proceeds going towards HHS athletics.

DR. VINCENT PAUL MESSINA June 9, 1926 – February 6, 2026

D

r. Vincent Paul Messina, age 99, passed away peacefully at home in Healdsburg on February 6, 2026.

Vincent was born in Queens, New York, and raised in Yonkers with his four brothers and two sisters.

As a young man, he moved west to attend Stanford University for his undergraduate studies and medical school. California became his home, and he never left.

He proudly served in the United States Navy during World War II before dedicating his life to the care of others. Vincent was a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco for many years, where he was known not only for his clinical excellence but

for his gentle manner with children.

Beyond medicine, Vincent was a builder in every sense of the word. He planted a vineyard and built the family home in Dry Creek Valley, creating a place for family to gather over the years. He carried a lifelong love of learning and culture—he was a devoted history buff, an avid reader, and a lover of classical music and opera. He played the piano, sang in the Stanford choir, found quiet joy in gazing at the moon and stars, and delighted in hosting Italian dinner parties filled with food and laughter. He was also almost always behind the camera, recording family moments, and would make multiple copies to share so that everyone could have a piece of the memory.

Above all else, Vincent valued family. He was deeply devoted to his wife, Cynthia, and took immense pride in his children: Jimmy, Kathryn, Christopher, and Cynthia. He was known for his humor, warmth, and gentle wit. Those who knew him would describe him as a true gentleman—gracious, kind, and deeply respectful of others.

MERCEDES M. SOTO September 24, 1925 – February 7, 2026

M

ercedes born September 24, 1925 in Santa Rosa, CA, the 3rd child of Manuel and Cristina Martinez, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2026 in her home with family by her side.

She attended Healdsburg Schools including some one room school houses. She graduated Class of 1945.

From a young age, she and her siblings worked picking crops throughout Sonoma County including prunes, grapes and other fruits; this went on for 17 years.

Her Martinez Family settled at 204 Center Street in Healdsburg and this home became the gathering place for many family members. One evening in 1950, her mother asked if she was going with the family to a party in town. Mercedes did not feel like going but her mother insisted. It was at this party that she saw a young man, Vincent P. Soto. This was it for both of them and thus began an almost 50 year marriage.

In the late 60’s Vincent asked a realtor to look for some land and Vincent and Mercedes were shown 5 acres in the Dry Creek Valley which included one of the last orchards of Gravenstein apples and Italian prune trees. In the early 70’s, they moved onto the property with their two daughters Sylvia and Cindy. While both of them worked day jobs, they began to harvest the beautiful soil with onions, corn, garlic, tomatoes, corn, peppers and much more. In 1978, they became one of about eight original produce vendors at the Healdsburg Farmer’s Market. This was located at an old prune dryer at the end of East St. Ironically, right around the corner from 204 Center St. where their lives began together. They continued attending various markets in Sonoma County. Vincent passed in 2001 and this ended their journey trekking produce to the market.

Mercedes also worked at Shoffeit’s Spice Plant in Healdsburg and very much loved all the Shoffeitt Family. After this she worked throughout the Healdsburg Schools as a Bilingual Teacher’s Aid and still saw some of her students in town, always a visit filled with a smile and a hug. Her grandson, Derek “DJ” was born in 1990 and he became her pride and joy. He attended St. John’s Catholic School to which she quickly signed up to volunteer in all his classes. She became a familiar face to all the students. She truly loved helping out and spending her days with DJ. One of her most special days was seeing DJ graduate from Sonoma State. There were a few more milestones that Mercedes treasured, such as DJ’s marriage to Stephanie and welcoming two great grandsons, Greyson and Weston. She felt God kept her alive for these reasons.

Mercedes was a regular at Bingo at the Healdsburg Senior Center, she made rubber stamped greeting cards and sold over 800, she was a faithful 49er fan and absolutely loved the SF Giants. She would not miss a game and looked forward to the next.

Last September her 100th Birthday was celebrated with over 65 family and friends. She was completely overjoyed to achieve this age and thanked all who attended. The party went well into the evening and Mercedes didn’t miss a minute.

Mercedes was preceded in death by her husband, Vincent; parents, Manuel and Cristina Martinez; siblings, Ruth Orosco (Manuel), Juanita Vasquez (Salvador), Manuel Martinez (Blanche), Jesse Martinez. She is survived by Sylvia, Cindy, Mitch, Derek “DJ”, Stephanie; great grandsons, Greyson and Weston. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Kathleen Martinez as well as many nephews and nieces who she loved dearly.

Special thank you to her caregivers, Maggie and Lai as well as Joe Martinez, Mercedes’ godson who visited her daily during the last few months of her life.

She referred to him as, “The Cook,” with a smile on her face. She was happiest when family and friends visited.

Mercedes lived life with her beautiful smile and positive outlook on life. She was a strong Catholic whose faith carried her in all her days.

Services will be held at St. John’s Catholic Church, Healdsburg on February 20, 2026 with a viewing from 10-11AM and a mass at 11AM. Burial at Oak Mound Cemetery following.

link Esmeralda with the main city, and the trail-to-rail Great Redwood Trail that would pierce the 266 acres.

SMART would be routed through the property too, to end its eventual northerly run at the long-vacant Cloverdale depot, a long overdue linkage of the city to the rest of the Bay Area.

Yarne seemed to relish listing the many steps in the development process before any construction begins: a Master Grading Permit, Phased Development Review and Building Permit Review, each including opportunities for public input and city approval. This lengthy list led him to vow, “No earth will be moved, period,” for at least 18 months.

The pair readily acknowledged that the first part of the project will be the 125 to 200 hotel “keys” (rooms or suites) on the site, as it would help provide revenue for the rest of the village development.

The hotel would not be a single edifice, but a series of small buildings that spread out around a central public area where retail could also appear.

Chautauqua Zuegel often referred to the inspiration she drew from the Chautauqua community of western New York, where her grandmother lived and she visited as a child.

The town today only has 4,000 permanent residents, but the Chautauqua Institute can draw over 7,000 visitors a day in the summer season, 100,000 a year. Illustrious social, artists and literary figures often appear at the Institute to this day.

During the Covid pandemic, Zuegel retreated to Chautauqua to wait out the shutdown, according to Business Insider.

That renewed her interest in alternative communities, leading to the development of the Esmeralda concept, which includes an amphitheater designed for public lectures and other events, leasable to whomever wishes to hold an event, concert or conversation. Yarne and Zeugel pointed to it as a potential source of revenue for the Esmeralda village itself, during their Thursday evening presentation.

Still, Zuegel’s repeated references to it during the presentation prompted one of the locals to explode, “Where the hell is Chatonka? New York? You are not in New York, you’re in Cloverdale, California!”

Overall, many in the hall seemed to feel that the city and business community was behind it already, and that opposition would be of little use. More than one referred, knowingly or otherwise, to the prediction in the baseball film Field of Dreams, where a mysterious voice tells Kevin Costner, “If you build it, they will come.”

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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. “Please be advised that the trustee may require entity or trust bidders at this trustee’s sale to provide Information, documentation and/or certification of the vesting instructions and the data required to be reported pursuant to FinCEN regulations effective for transfers of residential real property to covered transferees on or after March 1, 2026. The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfer. Additional information regarding these regulations and the required transferee Information and certifications can be found at https://www. federalreglster.gov/ documents/2024/08/29/2024-19198/antimoney-launderingregulations-for-residential-realestate-transfers and https://www.fincen.gov/ rre-faqs#d 5” NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www. stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 88515. 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.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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.

Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; 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.

The trustee does not determine, verify, or opine on the accuracy of this valuation and makes no representation regarding the market value of the property subject to foreclosures (the “Property”). The trustee’s compliance or non-compliance with CA civil code 2924f(f) shall not be construed as an opinion, warranty, or representation regarding (i) the priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, (ii) the condition of title to the Property, or (iii) any other matters affecting the Property, Including the value of the Property. The trustee relies solely on the

trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information.

The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c)

were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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 2924¢g 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 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www. ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 25-02166-LC-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 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 a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to 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 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-02166-LC-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

If you think you may qualify as a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
