police chief retires after 28 years

● Chief Sean Washington to step down on August 9

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

After 28 years with the Fremont Police Department, Chief Sean Washington has announced plans to retire on August 9, 2025.

Washington, who became Fremont’s first African American police chief in 2021, described his time with the department as “an extraordinary honor and privilege.” In a statement, he said the decision came after careful reflection on personal and professional considerations, and emphasized his commitment to supporting a smooth transition in leadership.

Washington joined the department in 1997 and rose through the ranks over nearly three decades, serving in roles including detective, SWAT member, field training officer and school resource officer. He was promoted to sergeant in 2007, lieutenant in 2011 and captain in 2015 before being appointed chief in 2021.

Under his leadership, Fremont Police Department launched several progressive

Local Patients Benefit From PET Scans

Washington Health Makes Advanced Testing Convenient and Comfortable

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is just one of the advanced tests that Washington Health uses to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer. Most significantly, it can determine whether a tumor has grown or spread, and if radiation and chemotherapy are effective. It provides more information than other types of tests to help doctors develop treatment plans for oncological, cardiac and neurological conditions.

A PET scan creates images of high metabolic activity in the body, rather than pictures of anatomy only, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT scan). Cancer in the body will show up on the PET scan as hyperactive tissue, showing metabolic changes, according to Dusty Finn, the lead certified nuclear medicine technologist at Washington Health. From a PET image, doctors can determine how advanced a tumor is, and how to treat it.

Doctors can also see if treatment is shrinking a tumor, or if the cancer has metastasized or spread. A radiologist will interpret the imaging, and provide a report to the oncologist, who shares it with the patient and develops a treatment plan.

Washington Health has the most advanced type of PET scanner, shortening the time of a scan to about 10 minutes, said Finn. After an IV injection of a radioactive tracer (most

45 minutes before being scanned. If they’re wearing clothing with no metal, the scan can be taken in street clothes without changing into a gown.

“We try to make it as easy, convenient and comfortable for a patient as we can,” Finn noted. The images are done in a separate facility across the street from the main hospital.

Promising for Prostate PET is especially good at detecting prostate cancer, thanks to a radioactive imaging agent that binds to prostate cancer cells and helps doctors identify them. It’s mostly used when prostate cancer returns, or has spread, Finn explained.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is observed in September, and a good reminder for men to get their annual prostate screening. Men should talk to their primary care provider about in-office screening.

Cardiac PET to Debut

This fall, Washington Health will offer PET imaging that looks inside the heart to diagnose and help treat some cardiac conditions.

and cameras to see inside the heart. PET imaging may also be done before catheterization in some cases.

This new imaging will also benefit people with stents, giving cardiologists insight into their viability and whether blood is flowing well. “Having the Cardiac PET/CT Imaging Program right in Fremont will avoid patients from having to leave the area to go to other health centers for this test.” Finn added.

“We can see myocardial blood flow to check for blockages in persons with chest pain or shortness of breath,” he said. In the past, the only way to see this was through a catheterization, which is a minimally invasive procedure that sometimes requires anesthesia.

Having these images will help diagnose new cases of heart disease, and allow cardiologists to adjust patients’ medications or treatment plans. The new cardiac imaging will employ the same PET/CT scanner used for cancer patients. The only difference will be the IV radiotracer agent, noted Finn.

Finn and his team are expected to undergo cardiac PET imaging training this summer.

High-Tech Testing and High-Touch Care at Washington Health

PET/CT Scan Technologists

Provide Patient-Centered Care

A cancer patient was so relieved that her cancer hadn’t spread that she created an AI song to thank the technologist whose test revealed the good news.

“It brought tears to my eyes,” recalls Dusty Finn, Washington Health’s lead certified nuclear medicine technologist. The song, created on an AI app, included funny and poignant features about his southern upbringing that the patient had learned about Finn over the years. “It makes me tear up now, even thinking about it. Just the fact that someone would do that for me.”

The laid-back Finn had worked with this woman throughout her cancer journey, doing her scans on the health system’s positron emission tomography (PET) scanner every few months. PET scans show whether cancer has spread, or if radiation and chemotherapy are effective. Cancer patients often routinely get scans, and wait with bated breath for results.

It’s stories like these that make working with cancer patients rewarding, shares Finn. Patients often develop strong bonds with their technologists, who are supportive, compassionate, and caring through the cancer journey. They appreciate that Finn and certified technologist Ramiro Martinez make the journey a little better with their calmness and professionalism.

“We treat all patients as if they’re family,” Finn explains. “It’s easy to

develop bonds after sharing patients’ tears of joy, fear, and sadness,” Martinez adds.

Finn and Martinez have almost 50 years of combined experience in operating the PET/CT scanner. PET creates images of high metabolic activity in the body, rather than anatomy only, like an MRI or CT scan. Cancer in the body will show up on the PET scan as hyperactive tissue. From that, doctors can determine how advanced a tumor is, and how to treat it.

Sometimes a scan will show that a cancer has progressed, and doctors will tell a patient to get their affairs in order, according to Martinez. Others will learn that cancer is in remission.

”Everyone’s physiology is different,” says the father of three. “In many instances, after a patient has received bad news, I’m still doing their scans five years later. I let people know that there’s always hope. I’ve seen my share of miracles.”

Providing hope and compassionate care, in addition to state-of-the-art testing, is the mission of Washington Health’s Digital PET/CT Imaging Department. Seeing dozens of patients with cancer every day, some of whom are very sick and frail, can be emotionally overwhelming. But Finn and Martinez manage it well because they love their jobs.

Respect for All People

“We focus on the good things, rather than the bad,” emphasizes Finn. “In health care, you should like, respect, and help people.”

Martinez has his share of emotional recollections, too, remembering one patient whose rare sinus cancer was cured. “The doctor didn’t give him a good prognosis,” says Martinez. “I told him that because it was so rare, no one really knew the prognosis since there weren’t many patients to base it on. I told him to stay positive, and rely on his faith. After one round of chemotherapy, the sinus cancer was gone. He came back twice to thank me.”

The technologists see their role as helping in the process of cancer diagnosis and treatment by providing doctors with detailed information about a cancer. A PET scan will also show if a treatment was effective. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient who has received good news after a treatment, the technologists say.

But that’s not always the case. “People have cried here,” Martinez shares. “As a technologist, all we can do is reaffirm that we’re doing everything we can to make sure they fight the cancer.”

High-Tech, High-Touch Care

In addition to the high-tech PET, the two technologists also provide

high-touch comfort care. When a patient prepares for the scan, they must wait 30 minutes after an IV injection. The room has to be cold to accommodate the equipment, so the team will make sure a patient is comfortable and has enough blankets. The two have also been known to hold the hand of someone who is scared and struggling.

“People come in here very anxious,” notes Martinez, “especially if it’s their first scan and they don’t know what to expect.” The technologists will give a step-by-step explanation of the test, which is done lying on a table for approximately 10 minutes. Because Washington Health has the most advanced digital PET scanner, which also has CT scan capabilities, the test is quicker than older machines. “When patients know what to expect, they can relax,” says Finn.

“We try to create a calm place,” he adds with a smile. With a skylight over the imaging table, and nature murals on the walls, patients can visualize the outdoors during the test.

Patients may arrive nervous, sad, or angry about the circumstances that brought them to Washington Health, but the professional and compassionate care they receive from Dusty Finn and Ramiro Martinez helps make the experience a little better.

OPINION

The heart of the Tri-Cities

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

As the daughter of Zimbabwean immigrants, I feel a deep empathy for those who are being impacted by the recent ICE operations. The anxiety stirred by these raids and harsh immigration policies resonates with me because I understand what it means to build a life in a new country, to navigate unfamiliar systems, and to worry about your place in it.

In the TriCity area of Fremont, Newark and Union City, immigrants are not outsiders. They are the heartbeat of the communi -

ty. From the Afghan bakeries in Centerville to the Filipino churches in Union City and the

thriving Latino neighborhoods in south Fremont, this region is a vibrant patchwork of cultures, languages and traditions. Nearly half of Fremont’s population is foreign-born. This isn’t just a statistic. It’s a strength.

Yet, despite the richness of our diversity, many still face barriers to belonging. Immigrants worry about accessing healthcare, navigating the school system, or even reporting crimes to the police. The national rhet-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Federal funding cuts to science threaten Bay Area communities

I have made it halfway through a PhD at Cornell to work on science that will support our community, but my friends and I are losing the chance to do this work because of the recent federal funding cuts. SOS!

My home is between Coyote Hills and Quarry Lakes and my love for these grasslands and marshes is why I have dedicated my career to the scientific research that can protect them. Because of my career choice, I have experienced the joy of being a part of a community of scientific researchers who work on what they believe in.

With wide-ranging interests, they protect against disease and boost the California economy by preventing fires and mitigating pollution. With the 2025 federal funding cuts to science, many of my friends have lost the chance to do this important work. Not to mention that now my own career and dreams are at great risk.

Every day in the lab is a blast for me because my research combines what I believe in with technical puzzles that allow me to play

detective. I work on engineering agricultural plants to try and make our farms more efficient at using fertilizers. This can provide better food security and could boost California’s massive agricultural economy, but most importantly to me: It supports our native ecosystems!

In farming, roughly half of all fertilizers leach into aquatic ecosystems. They are the cause of toxic algal blooms that kill fish and marsh birds, and choke the plants which structure these ecosystems. In the last decade, the East Bay has started to see these blooms for the first time, and they are only projected to get worse.

I would like to dedicate my career towards improving fertilizer uptake by plants and fighting this problem at its source. But I’m nervous, because in 2026 almost twothirds of the federal funding to the National Science Foundation (NSF) will be cut. This is the organization that funds the vast majority of my focus of research in the U.S.

Next year, much of our agri-

cultural and medical research will be cut, and many of the hundreds of thousands of scientists working under federal grants will likely face unemployment. I believe that public awareness and engagement in this bipartisan issue will encourage our political representatives to roll back some of these changes, or at the very least can prevent even more dire funding cuts.

One of my best friends from the Bay Area, and one of the most politically-engaged scientists I know, has recently lost her job due to funding cuts. She graduated with a PhD in engineering from Stanford earlier this year and had a job lined up through the federal government to work on protecting local marshlands.

The marshlands are a natural barrier against ocean swells and shield coastal communities in and beyond the East Bay against sea rise. With her dream quashed, she had to move across the country to find work, and the Bay lost a valuable resource.

Another often overlooked component of the cut is the recent cap on “indirect costs”

oric may shift with each election cycle, but the daily lives of immigrants remain marked by resilience and quiet courage. We need to do more than just tolerate diversity—we need to protect it. That means demanding compassionate immigration policies, expanding local protections and telling the stories that humanize our neighbors. In the Tri-Cities, diversity isn’t a challenge to overcome. It’s the reason we thrive.

for grant funding to researchers. Indirect costs keep the lights on, pay the janitorial staff, etc. Their cap has moved from around 50% of grant funding to 15%!

This is a huge problem for research institutions and universities. It’s kind of like saying that waiters are only allowed to use their tips to pay their bills! This will also lead to less research and lab training opportunities for young adults pursuing a STEM education.

So why mention any of these problems? Because there is so much a single person can do to help fight these cuts to our community! Of course, start by calling or writing to your governors, congressional representatives and senators. At the end of every day they are provided with a summary of what issues their voters contacted them about and hey, they only stay employed if they keep their voters happy!

I believe the best thing we can do in this tumultuous time is to cross the aisle as much as possible. I have always found that when I ask, the people who have different political beliefs than me also believe they are doing the right thing. Usually we are trying to accomplish the same goals in different ways. And most importantly: VOTE in the 2026 midterm elections! Lena Cuevas Fremont

GROWING ONIONS

By Madhvika Singh

They only bring tears of joy

Onions are staple crops in my home garden. The taste, high yield, versatility and options for long-term storage make them highly desirable. Another draw for this crop is that it allows me to utilize the not-so-accessible areas of the garden as it does not require much ongoing maintenance and upkeep.

Onions are classified based on taste: strong flavored (also called American), and mild or sweet (European). Generally, American onions have smaller bulbs with denser texture, stronger flavor and better keeping quality than European. Milder ones are generally preferred for fresh consumption while stronger ones are used for cooking.

Another classification is by color. Both American and European onions can be yellow, white and red. Our household likes to eat raw red onions as a side with ethnic meals, white and yellow in sandwiches, and pearl onions for pickling and cocktails. For curries, pastes and tempering we use a mix.

The most important factor for growing onions is the length of available daylight. There are three varieties—short, intermediate, and long day. Long-day onions need 14 or more hours of sunlight before they initiate bulb formation, intermediate onions require about 13-14 hours and short-day onions require about 12 hours.

Onions can be grown from seeds, transplants or sets. Seeds provide the most flexibility, and transplants convenience. Onion sets are grown from seeds in the spring, set so close together that their growth is limited. When planted the following season, they will mature sooner than ones grown from seeds. I prefer not to use onion sets as they have a tendency to flower instead of developing bulbs—also called bolting.

For the Bay Area, intermediate day onions are best. One can plant from September to November, or transplant from January through March for a late sum-

mer or fall harvest. I plant onions when I receive a shipment for my area from my vendor, which simplifies timing. If I want to try a new variety, I follow instructions on the seed packet label.

To plant onions, pick a space in your yard that gets full sun. Onions need loose, rich soil that drains well and has been amended with compost or well-rotted manure. Plant onion transplants at four- to eight-inch intervals depending on size, and in rows that are 18 inches apart. Being a home gardener with space limitations, I tend to plant them closer. Since I pick some early to use as green onions, that creates space later in the growing season when bulbs need room to expand.

Onion transplants should be planted about one inch deep with the top of the bulb at or just below the soil surface. Since onions have shallow roots, they need to be watered frequently during the growing season to ensure the soil stays moist. A combination of drip irrigation and hand watering as needed has worked well for me.

Stop watering once leaves start turning yellow and bulbs start rising above the soil. If the soil is rich, a light and infrequent application of fertilizer is sufficient as leaves are growing. Once bulbs begin forming, stop adding fertilizer to prevent bulbs from splitting.

When the top half of onion plants have bent over, stop watering and bend the remainder of the stalk using the back of a rake, making sure the neck does not break. As soon as the bent tops begin to yellow and dry, gently dig, keeping the drying leaves attached and intact.

At this point, the onions can be used fresh, or they can be cured for long term storage. To cure onions, dry them on a wire rack, perforated basket or slotted crate that allows for air flow. Wait until the leaves have completely dried up. Cut the tops, leaving about an inch, and store bulbs in a cool, dry and dark place with good ventilation.

Our family uses onions in many different ways. They can be added

to soups, stews, salads, sandwiches, and can be fried, sautéed or caramelized for enhancing the flavor of many dishes.

Onion flatbread or pyaaz paranthi

Whole wheat flour - Two cups, plus one additional cup for dusting

Water - About one cup

Finely diced onions - One cup

Chopped herbs like mint, cilantro, green onions - Half cup

Spices - Red chili flakes, chopped green Thai chili, a pinch of turmeric powder and salt to taste

Oil, butter or ghee - About two tablespoons to cook per flatbread

Oil, or ghee to be mixed in the dough -

Two tablespoons

Equipment - Heavy bottom sauce pan or a griddle, rolling pin

Makes six to seven flatbreads

Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make a soft dough using water and let it rest for half an hour. When ready to make the bread, heat the griddle up.

Lightly oil your palms and piece out a small lump of dough about the size of a

golf ball and roll it into a ball. Sprinkle dry flour on a flat, smooth work surface and flatten dough with a rolling pin. This amount of dough will make a flatbread of about seven inches.

Heat the griddle to medium high, and transfer the rolled-out dough to the griddle. Flip over with a flat spatula after 30 seconds. Cook bread with the fat of your choice for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. The amount of fat in the recipe can be increased, decreased or skipped as desired. Serve with yogurt raita, mint chutney, or mango pickle. My personal favorite is to enjoy it with maple yogurt.

No Kings in America

● Fremont joins national action on June 14

Submitted by Toni Shellen

The people of Fremont showed up on June 14 to say, “No Kings in America!” Approximately 3,000 people stood together in solidarity along Paseo Padre Parkway from Walnut Avenue to Mowry Boulevard in strong opposition to Trump’s authoritarian tactics.

The protest began with comments from several local and state leaders, encouraging an already high spirited crowd. Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan reminded us that, “We didn’t fight off a king 250 years ago just to be ruled by one now.” Assembly Member Alex Lee proclaimed, “Democracy belongs to the people, not to kings, not to dictators, and certainly not to a fascist!”

Former California State Senator Bob Wieckowski declared, “Our voices are strong we’re going to use the rule of law and our courts to show Trump, Steve Miller, and the whole crowd in Washington that there are no kings in America; there are no kings in California; and there are no kings in Fremont!” The crowd cheered in agreement with each of them.

Participants reflected the diversity of the city. People of many ethnicities and ages came together—teens, young families with babies and children, seniors including people using walkers and wheel chairs. All gathered to send a clear message that we value our democracy and reject the oppressive actions of the Trump administration.

Support from passing cars honking, cheering and even holding up their own signs bolstered the spirits of the crowd, joining the community’s message.

This was the third large rally in Fremont in recent months. Previous protests were the “Hands Off” protest on April 5 and a “May Day Strong” protest on May 1. At the end of each, people ask the organizers, “When is the next one?”

It’s evident that Fremont will continue to join these national actions until the voice of the people is heard and the totalitarian tactics end. This is clearly not a time to be silent. As anti-apartheid and human rights activist, Desmond Tutu wisely said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”’

Fremont’s State of the City Address

● Council approves mixed-use project at Hub while downtown sees surge in entertainment

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

Fremont is accelerating. On Wednesday, June 18, Mayor Raj Salwan delivered the annual State of the City Address with a clear message: the city is stepping into its future with confidence, backed by measurable progress and bold economic ambition.

“Fremont is a place of opportunity," Salwan said, emphasizing the city’s continued investment in workforce development.

Over the past year, Fremont’s Human Resources department took part in several job fairs aimed at preparing the next generation of workers, including events hosted by Ohlone College, the State of California and Fremont Unified School District.

Salwan also recapped his appearance earlier this year at the Silicon Valley Business Journal Economic and Mayor’s Forecast, where he shared his vision for

Fremont to stand alongside San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose as one of the Bay Area’s leading cities.

“It’s an ambitious vision, but if you look around, you’ll see that we’re already on our way,” he said.

Nowhere is that progress more visible than downtown, where over $1 billion has been invested in new development projects. Among them is The Tolman, a new apartment complex that brings 240 residential units and 5,700 square feet of commercial space to the heart of the city. Retailers like Paradox and Pints of Joy have also joined the growing district, with Palmetto Superfoods and Pour Decisions coming soon.

The city council also approved a mixed-use project at the Fremont Hub, dubbed “Future Restaurant Row,” which is set to break ground next year.

Downtown also saw a surge in entertainment, hosting 325 events that drew over 50,000 attendees. Highlights included the city’s inaugural Holidays at the Plaza tree-lighting ceremony, attended by 4,000 people, and the largest Restaurant Week in Fremont’s history, which attracted more than 10,000 guests and boosted business for 95% of

participating restaurants. Salwan visited several of them, reporting consistent feedback that business owners want Restaurant Week to return next year.

‘It’s an ambitious vision, but if you look around, you’ll see that we’re already on our way’ -

Raj Salwan on his vision for Fremont to stand alongside San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose as one of the Bay Area’s leading cities.

With more events and projects on the horizon, Salwan closed with a promise that Fremont residents can look forward to more exciting things to come soon.

initiatives, including one of the nation’s first Electric Patrol Vehicle Pilot Programs, a Drone as First Responder system, and the development of a Real-Time Information Center. He also expanded both the Police Chief’s Community Advisory Board and Youth Advisory Board, and championed partnerships with organizations such as the Special Olympics of Northern California and Joshua’s Gift Autism Registry.

“I appreciate all the relationships and friendships built over many decades within our community,” Washington said.

A nationwide search for Washington’s successor will begin soon, according to city officials.

New Fremont center aims to improve policing

● City council approves agreement to install a Real Time Information Center

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

At its June 17 meeting, the Fremont City Council approved an agreement of up to $874,151 with Constant Technologies, Inc. to design and install a Real Time Information Center (RTIC) at the Fremont Police Department. The new 24/7 facility is intended to boost the city’s ability to respond to crime and public safety incidents through centralized technology and real-time data analysis.

Funded by a $2.45 million state grant aimed at curbing organized retail theft, the RTIC will serve as a modern command hub, staffed by trained analysts and equipped with live video feeds, automated license plate readers, and integrated access to law enforcement databases. City officials say the center will enhance officer safety, improve response times, and support investigations through advanced technology and coordinated operations.

The contract with Constant Technologies includes layout design, engineering, installation of technical equipment, software, training, and ongoing maintenance. The company was selected after a competitive bidding process, with Fremont staff citing its experience building command centers for law enforcement agencies and major clients including Meta.

Two new analyst positions will be dedicated to the RTIC, providing realtime support to officers in the field and monitoring issues such as traffic collisions and missing persons in addition to criminal activity.

City staff noted the project will be built within existing space at police headquarters and is exempt from environmental review under California law. The RTIC is expected to be fully operational by the end of the state grant period in December 2026.

THINKING ABOUT HEALTH AND WEALTH

IN PRIDE MONTH

Vulnerable communities face added challenges

By Stephanie Uchida

Pride Month is a time for parades, rainbows, education and celebration. But in June and the rest of the year, people in the LGBTQ+ community deal with the boring but necessary life admin of scheduling doctor’s appointments and making sure there’s money in the bank.

Natalie Le, a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual, and Dr. Suselina Acosta-Goldstein, a psychiatrist at Washington Health, shared how people in the LBGTQ+ community often deal with added stress around these already anxiety-provoking areas.

“Financial anxiety right now is at a high—for everyone across the nation,” says Le. She shared a Northwestern Mutual’s 2025 Planning and Progress Study stating nearly 7 in 10 Americans say financial uncertainty has made them depressed and anxious.

Fears around a recession, rising prices due to tariffs—there’s a lot to worry Americans. Le says, “It’s my job as well as an advisor to be up to date with what’s happening in the world with any legislation changes so I can best navigate those conversations with my clients.”

Some issues are straightforward. Both women brought up family planning as an area that’s more complicated for the LGBTQ+, whether it’s getting health insurance to cover fertility treatments, or navigating a system that still defaults to straight couples.

However, an individual’s situation is often more nuanced. Le says that her clients are often facing a mix of “legal factors, cultural factors, family dynamics.” Fracturing of family or community ties, past trauma or abuse, less higher educa-

tion, poverty, lower wages—these can all affect any group. However, LGBTQ+ people face added discrimination. Everyone’s story is different, and there’s no single culprit to point to, only that belonging to a vulnerable population can complicate many different areas of life.

Whether with a health care provider or a financial advisor, a positive dynamic is vital. Le says, “Conversations around money are as difficult as they are already, we always want to make sure we’re creating a safe space so we’re not having to feel worried or judged.”

Acosta-Goldstein expands by noting that it’s counterproductive to “come in being protective of yourself in a space where you’re supposed to be safe.” People can hold back from sharing key parts of their lives, like discussing their relationship without disclosing they’re polyamorous. Or they simply opt to not come to the doctor’s office at all.

While discussing safety, it’s important not to dismiss concerns as merely “anxiety” as if the problem is that ‘othered’ populations are delicate flowers. While many providers feel neutral to the ‘other’ or resolve to put their feelings aside in a professional setting, prejudice is real and strong enough to defy the workplace rulebook. It’s reasonable for people to be aware that they may face discrimination.

Even when providers have good intentions, they may lack training that goes beyond the straight / cisgender norm. In this case, says Acosta-Goldstein, “Now their patients have the burden of educating those physicians. And those are the physicians that are willing to listen or at least take the time, who aren’t just doing 10-minute visits.”

Both Le and Acosta-Goldstein are women in relationships with other women, which gives them a chance to establish an open dynamic. Le says, “If I’m open about my own life and my fiancée— she’s a woman—and I know that as long as I can share those parts of myself that allow people to say, ‘OK well she’s going to share this about her…’ if they align with that great.”

However, that’s just a starting point. Acosta-Goldstein points out, “Just because we’re all under the same LGBTQ+ umbrella, I’m not an expert on anyone else. I’m going to ask that person, if they come into my office, their experience. Use their terms. Use their language. And go in thinking this person knows more about themself than me. That’s an absolute truth! They know more about themself than you ever will.”

Both women emphasized an attitude of openness—something anyone can cultivate across communities. “We’re all learning,” said Le. “Having an awareness is huge.” Acosta-Goldstein says,

“For providers my advice is always, be curious and be humble.”

By contrast, corporate training in sensitivity can often have a “For Group A, do B; for Group C, remember D” format, which can unintentionally turn communities into monoliths and reinforce stereotypes.

Says Acosta-Goldstein, “There are thoughts and opinions and ideas that are the norm that are kind of automatic in all of us. No matter if we’re straight or LGBTQ+ or trans or cis or whatever, we’re all socialized together and there’s these biases that we have that most people don’t challenge or check. When you’re an ‘other,’ you do.”

No matter what field of work or community someone belongs to, asking for help or giving help comes with vulnerability. There’s no secret code to create perfect safety and flawless understanding. There’s only willingness to approach with empathy. Acosta-Goldstein says, “This patient, you’re not going to be able to Google them and figure them out. You’ve got to ask them.”

ALL INCLUDED People of all communities need professionals who approach them with openness and without judgment.

SNACK ATTACK In Bay Area-filmed ‘Lumpia with a Vengeance’ a superhero teams up with a teen to protect her from the mob and save her parents’ wedding.

‘Lumpia’ team promotes film at Ohlone

pia, which was filmed in the ’90s with a camcorder. Lumpia is a Filipino fried egg roll filled with variations of meat, shrimp and veggies.

During a warm, sunny morning, director Patricio Ginelsa stood in front of their booth under a canopy tent to express his feelings about the film being streamed on platforms like Tubi. “Being on Tubi is validation that movies like this deserve that kind of audience, that kind of representation. Especially coming from the Bay Area,” Ginelsa said, who was raised in Daly City.

Their booth had a couple of tables set up for a meet and greet between the fans and Kid Heroes Productions, the creative team behind the movie. Merchandise included action figures, pins, hats, DVD copies of the film and their comic book line.

Shot in Daly City, Lumpia with a Vengeance is about a high school student who gets entangled in a local crime ring. The lumpia-throwing hero works together with the student to save her parents’ wedding. The film explores themes of family, sacrifice and Filipino cultur-

Volunteers help clean up Hayward street

● Adopt-a-Block

drive collects trash

by Shraddha Pakhar, DSNDP Volunteer

On June 14, volunteers from Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Prashthan (DSNDP), participated in an Adopt-A-Block cleanup drive in collaboration with the City of Hayward Maintenance Services Department. Seven volunteers collected four big bags or around 100 pounds of trash.

Ginelsa, founder of Kid Heroes Productions, began his filmmaking journey with Lumpia in 1997. “It’s also a love letter to my hometown of Daly City and my upbringing, and we just mask it as a cheesy action comedy you know,” he said with a laugh.

but like a Filipino American film actually shot in Daly City in the Bay Area? It’s unique in itself already.”

Kid Heroes Productions also has a comic book line that caught the attention of the San Diego Comic Con. They are participating in this year’s convention for the fifth consecutive year.

Jury duty pay cut

Recently, I came across the news from the Governor's press office that Newsom has abruptly cut pay for jurors from $100 to $15. I feel insulted. His action means jurors will go back to receiving $15 a day for their service. It is shameful, disheartening and cruel.

The governor must realize that jurors are an essential part of our judicial system

Holding up a DVD copy of Lumpia Ginelsa said, “We shot it with a camcorder. Just shot it with my friends in Daly City, the original movie was a lot of superheroes that fought crime with lumpia and protected the FOBs from the thugs.” FOBS is an acronym for “Fresh Off the Boat”—describing immigrants who have just arrived from another country.

Fifteen dollars is not enough to cover parking

From there, his first movie caught the attention of Variety, an entertainment industry news magazine. That moment sparked Ginelsa’s career, and he went on to direct a couple of Black Eyed Peas Music videos, including “Bebot.”

Ginelsa encouraged people to stream the movie. “Because it’s different. I mean how often do you see not only an actual comedy about a guy that throws lumpia,

Compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kid Heroes Productions took the reverse route. “It usually goes from comic book to movies,” said Ginelsa. “We started with a movie, and now we’re a comic book line!” Their 15 issues of comic books were all supported and funded by fans. They follow the story after the movie Lumpia with a Vengeance

Ginelsa said their fanbase is broader than just the Asian American community. “Once we premiered there in San Diego Comic Con, we realized that our core audience wasn’t necessarily Filipino, Asian American,” Ginelsa said. “It was nerds—it was like the most open-minded folks really are the anime, the comic con, community. And that was a validation that this movie wasn’t just for Filipinos. That’s really what pushed us to get distribution.”

The governor must realize that jurors are an essential part of our judicial system, and the cut in pay would become a burden on their wallets.

Fifteen dollars is not enough to cover parking (Oakland), a sandwich, a cup of coffee, and a bag of chips, especially when the prices of everything have gone up in Alameda County.

What I learned from most Californians is they are surely reluctant to serve as jurors, especially because their time and high gasoline prices are much greater than the $15 compensation. It is sadly disappointing.

I ask the Governor to rescind his action in light of the above facts.

Amateur radio enthusiasts test their skills

● Annual emergency preparedness exercise shows importance of radio communications

Submitted by William Artelt

On June 28 and 29, Amateur Radio ("ham") operators across the country will leave the comfort of their home-based radio "shacks" for a weekend of emergency preparedness activities called "Field Day." The event is designed to test operators' skills in setting up and operating radio communication equipment in situations where electrical power is limited or unavailable.

The idea is to simulate the conditions that can occur during natural disasters, hurricane, earthquake, flood, and man-

Fresh faces, bold flavors and summer celebrations

● Downtown Hayward will be the place to visit this summer

By Nick Yoo, Assistant District Manager of the Downtown Hayward Improvement Association

Downtown Hayward is stepping into summer with fresh energy, bold new flavors and community celebrations that bring everyone together.

New businesses on the block Tram Cream Coffee is bringing the bold flavors of traditional Vietnamese coffee to Downtown Hayward with a modern twist. This cozy café sources the finest Vietnamese coffee beans. Unique brewing techniques, combined with modern touches, provide an unforgettable sen-

made. The event is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL)— the national association for Amateur Radio. The first Field Day took place in 1933.

During Field Day, operators set up radio transmitting and receiving equipment in local parks, at shopping malls or even in backyards, and get on the air

sory journey for coffee lovers. They had their soft opening on June 3 so the community is invited to stop by.

Plus, the owners of Rummi Mart, a beloved local market known for its selection of authentic foods, including Afghani bread and Halal meats, are expanding their footprint in Downtown Hayward with a new venture: Rummi Bakery. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Upcoming events and celebrations

This summer, the neighborhood will come alive with the Downtown Hayward Street Parties, a lively event series hosted by the Hayward Chamber of Commerce. Taking place every third Thursday of the month (mostly) from June through August, these summer celebrations will draw visitors from across the Bay Area.

With upcoming events scheduled for July 17 and August 21 from 5 to 9pm, the street parties promise vibrant evenings filled with live music, food and drinks, local vendors and more. Between B Street and Main Street in Downtown Hayward, the parties will host family-friendly activities in the expanded Kids Zone, made possible by the Hayward Area Recreation District. Plus, the July celebration will even feature a Kids Biz Marketplace.

using generators, battery or solar power to run their equipment.

This type of exercise, along with the operators’ dedication to public service, allows them to step in and help emergency officials and relief organizations when disaster strikes. Cell phones, the internet and other communications technologies have yet to replace what Amateur

Radio operators can do. They have a long track record of getting the message through when all other systems fail.

This year, SBARA, the South Bay Radio Association, will be holding its preparedness exercise at Central Park in Fremont, on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29. There are 758,000 Licensed Amateur Radio operators in the United States—recorded as of May 25, 2025—including 1,295 Licensed Amateurs in Fremont.

There are more than three million Licensed Amateur Radio Operators world-wide. Through the ARRL, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for the Department of Homeland Security, HS Citizens' Corps such as CERT, FEMA, Salvation Army, and hundreds of state and local agencies, all free of any charges.

The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams to see what modern Amateur Radio can do.

NBA champ visits basketball camp

since, I believe, 2002. So it's been a long time running.”

By April Ramos

It’s not a secret that the East Bay has great professional sports teams all around it. From the San Jose Earthquakes to the San Francisco Giants, these teams bring pride to the Bay Area. However, sometimes pride comes from behind the championship rings and winning titles.

The Golden State Sports Academy (GSSA) is one of those organizations that brings the community together through the power of sports. After 25 years, the organization, formerly known as the Warriors Basketball Academy, has teamed up with the Golden State Valkyries to continue to give youth around the Bay Area an opportunity to learn and bond over basketball.

From June 16 to 20, the basketball camp was held at the Silliman Recreation Center in Newark. “This was our third-ever location,” shared Jeff Addiego, vice president of GSSA. “We’ve been coming to this facility

For their summer schedule, the camp has up to 40 sessions with three to five camps going on in different locations, and even overnight camps available. With 25 years of change, the program has also been able to capitalize on the popularity of the Warriors, but before the team was as popular as they are now, the program still had to deliver.

“The success of our program is really based on those lean years when our [Warriors] team wasn’t really good, but our program had to be strong, and parents had to feel good about sending their kids to camp,” said Addiego. “When [the Warriors] drafted Steph Curry and the team really took off, we were ready to really ride that momentum and make even a larger impact.”

Now, the program is riding another wave of momentum: the Valkyries. With the excitement of the Bay Area’s first WNBA team, GSSA has shifted to make sure the team is included in the camps.

“We wanted to be equally representative of the Warriors and Valkyries,” said Addiego on the program’s name change. The representation can also be seen on the kids as they run on the court, half of them in Warriors jerseys, the other with Valkyries jerseys.

Another great treat that makes GSSA camp special is the opportunity for the kids to meet NBA alumni. “For them to just see those types of folks walk through the door and really understand how big someone 6 '11 is, and hear their story [...] I think is really inspiring,” said Addiego. That 6 '11 basketball pro is former Warriors player, NBA champion and NBC sports analyst, Festus Ezeli.

Ezeli spoke to the 80 campers about his journey with basketball, from moving to the United States from Nigeria to the challenges of learning basketball for the first time at 14 years old. He noted the first shot he ever made was in his own team’s hoop, and the embarrassment he felt when he made that mistake.

“I told the kids about my embarrassing moment because I wanted them to understand that failure will happen as a part of sports,” said Ezeli. “So if that failure is imminent, knowing that you can bounce back from that is also an important skill.”

Ezeli also spoke on the advantages of the camp’s connection with not only the NBA but the Warriors. “I’ve watched this camp continue to grow and grow with the popularity of the team,” said Ezeli. “Capitalizing on the fact that an NBA team has [the kids’] attention, that’s part of the excitement.

The success of the camp can be seen as it has produced NBA players such as Will Cherry and Tyler Johnson. The most recent camper turned NBA player is Juan Toscano-Anderson, who played on the Castro Valley High School basketball team and has become the first camper who has gone on to play for the Warriors and also win an NBA championship.

As the camp continues to grow, Addiego notes that the program’s biggest focus for the future is increasing girls’ participation. “We would love to see girls playing beyond elementary school and middle school, and into high school and even beyond.” In August, GSSA will be back at the Silliman Center holding all-girl camps for the first time in Newark.

When it comes to the advice that Ezeli wants young kids to remember, he reflected on the words his college coach used to say: “‘When opportunity knocks, some people are in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers.’ Instead of waiting to get lucky, I think you just prepare for that opportunity when it comes.”

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

BY GEORGIA NICOLS www.georgianicols.com.

All Signs: Mercury represents daily communications and routines. It has domain over anything that moves from point A to point B: words, ideas, packages, cars, trucks, trains, courier services and the mail. Normally, Mercury is in one sign for about two weeks. This week, Mercury moves into dramatic Leo to stay for two months because it will be retrograde from July 18 to August 11. (When Mercury is retrograde, avoid buying anything that Mercury “rules”: computers, cell phones, printers, cars.) We don’t have to clutch our pearls, because Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to finish old business, especially writing projects.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

Get ready to bump into old flames this summer in person, through social media or through a friend. Or you might find yourself thinking about them. They might even appear in your dreams. Naturally, some will rekindle a romance. Meanwhile, this week is a fabulous time to entertain because you feel rich and generous. You might want to show something off. Nevertheless, you’ll work hard in the next two months because your ruler fiery Mars is travelling through your House of Employment.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

Expect family reunions and visits from relatives this summer because Mercury retrograde will attract family members back into your world. It will also trigger memories from your past that are related to home and family. Family discussions about old business might finally be resolved. You might also tackle home repairs you’ve been meaning to do. Meanwhile, this week is upbeat and optimistic! You might meet new people and see new places because you want new kinds of experiences. Caution about promising more than you can deliver.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

You’ll feel this Mercury retrograde for two reasons: for starters, Mercury is your ruler. Secondly, this particular Mercury retrograde occurs in your Third House of Communications, which is the “home” of Mercury. Expect transportation delays: flat tires, engine problems, missed buses and confusion with appointments.

Meanwhile, conflict at home (especially related to parents) might take place. Your home scene might be stressed due to residential moves, guests or renovations. The good news is you can get richer! Trust your moneymaking ideas. Purchase important items before July 4.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

This week holds the possibility of confusion and deceit. Don’t be naïve. If you feel something fishy might be going on—it is. (Especially dealing with authority figures.) Having said that, this is actually a fantastic, upbeat, happy week! You feel big-hearted and magnanimous. You’re looking forward to your future because you’ve got big ideas about expanding your world. Furthermore, your ability to communicate these ideas will shine! You will say what you mean and mean what you say and everyone will love you.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

Get ready for delays, goofy mistakes and misplaced items this summer because Mercury will be retrograde in your sign. You’ll encounter people from your past. However, the good news is that this will be an excellent time to reflect on the past. You’ll be efficient when it comes to finishing things you’ve been meaning to get to for ages. Meanwhile, you’ll have a strong focus on money, earnings and possessions this summer. Avoid disputes with someone about something you own.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

With fiery Mars in your sign until early August, you have lots of energy to get things done. It means you’ll find it easy to work hard to further your own interests and assert yourself. Mars will boost your physical energy! Meanwhile, this week is a popular time. People will be happy to see your face. You might play a leadership role because Mars will give you the energy to run things. This summer, your ruler Mercury will help you do research and dig into the past or study history.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

You make a fabulous impression on others this week because both the Sun and lucky Jupiter are lined up at the top of your chart. This is a rare occurrence. Make the most of this. It’s an excellent time to go after what you want. However, this week is subject to deception and confusion. Make sure you know what you’re agreeing to, especially when dealing with authority figures. This summer, Mercury retrograde will attract people from your past. Make sure you look great when you go out—you never know who you’ll meet.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

Indulge your desire to travel because you want adventure. If you can’t travel, be a tourist in your own town. Be careful not to fall for propaganda or some kind of snake-oil pitch because this week confusion and deception are likely, especially in

social media, legal matters and medicine. Meanwhile, Mercury will be retrograde at the top of your chart this summer, which will attract encounters with old bosses, or parents you haven’t seen for a while. You might decide to take up an old study that can boost your career.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

You’re ambitious right now because fiery Mars is at the top of your chart. Take advantage of this because it happens only once every two years, and you have it until August. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers are mutually beneficial. This is an excellent week to ask for a budget increase. Likewise, it’s an excellent time to ask for a loan or a mortgage. However, read the fine print. This week in particular, be vigilant to avoid regrets that arise from confusion or deceit. Mercury retrograde will help you finish writing projects this summer.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Remember that you need more sleep. Meanwhile, Venus is creating lovely social opportunities! Venus will also encourage creative opportunities to express your talents. Mars ignites your desire to travel and do creative intellectual work. This summer Mercury retrograde will be in one of your Money Houses giving you chances to wrap up loose details with estate planning, inheritances, debt, shared property and shared responsibilities. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde will also encourage errors in these same areas. Keep your eyes open!

Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18):

Mercury is opposite your sign this summer, encouraging encounters with ex-partners and old friends. If these encounters don’t happen in person, they might be through social media, or your dreams. For some of you, this could bring opportunities for closure. Meanwhile this is a productive week because you have the energy and motivation to work hard to accomplish what you want. Jupiter is lined up with the Sun this week, which encourages work-related travel and success in working with others. Activities will be upbeat and friendly!

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):

The gods favor you this summer. In fact, they favor you for the next 12 months because you’ll have opportunities to slip away on a vacation, be involved with sporting events and be grateful for joy from children. You’ll have the courage to be who you are and express yourself to others without fear or apology. Romance will blossom! Even this week, you’ll notice the beauty of your daily surroundings. Your communications with everyday contacts, siblings and relatives will be mutually pleasant. Of course, nothing is perfect. Mercury retrograde will create delays and goofy mistakes in your work. Double check everything.

Artist designs at the thread level

● Ally Kraus demos techniques in weaving and dyeing

Submitted by Lina Melkonian

Fremont Art Association is pleased to feature Ally Kraus, at its virtual General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, July 2.

Kraus is a visual artist, craftsperson, maker and educator whose primary medium is fiber. She weaves on hand looms, pieces and sews cloth, dyes fabric and yarn and grows her own dye plants. Kraus’ aesthetically stimulating body of work, characterized by exquisite patterns, textures and colors, reflects her adventurous and experimental nature. In her demo, “Designing at the Thread Level: Techniques in Weaving and Dyeing,” Kraus will showcase the process of handweaving on a multi-shaft loom and how she uses dyeing techniques, both before and after weaving, to make woven compositions. These include ikat (precision tie-dying of yarn) and painting on woven cloth, then unweaving and reweaving it to form new images.

Today, Kraus continues to develop and share her knowledge as the founder of the Micro Fiber School in San Jose. She also hosts events at pop-up locations around the Bay Area. She is the vice president of the Black Sheep Handweavers Guild, administrative editor of the Complex Weavers Journal and member of Northern California Women’s Caucus for Art (NCWCA).

Kraus’ work can be found at: allykraus.com and @allykraustextiles on Instagram.

What Is a Collage?

A collage is art that’s made by pasting different things together to create a picture. Artists use paper, fabric, buttons, photos or even leaves. They paste these things onto a piece of paper or cardboard. No two collages are ever the same!

Photo Collage

A photo collage is made using pictures, often from newspapers or old photo

How many di erences can you nd between these two collages?

Paper Collage

A paper collage is made with torn or cut pieces of colorful paper, newspapers, or magazines. Some paper collages look like a real scene, such as a beach or a tree. Other collages are just interesting shapes, patterns and colors all mixed up. (That’s called abstract art.)

Nature Collage

A nature collage is made from things you find outside, like leaves, flowers, small twigs or seeds.

You can use things found on a hike to make a picture of a tree, an animal or just a pretty pattern. Just make sure to only take things that have already fallen on the ground!

Mixed-Media Collage

This kind of collage uses all sorts of materials. Paper, fabric, string, paint, and buttons are just some of the countless things you can use! You might glue on sand to make a beach or use cotton balls to make big, fluffy clouds. Mixed-media collages are all about using your imagination and trying new textures.

Draw the leaf that should come next in each row to complete the pattern.

BACK After retiring as a judge in 2020, O’Connor decided to try her hand at writing a memoir.

SOBER LIVING O’Connor’s memoir ‘From Junkie to Judge’ tells how she recovered from addiction and sought a career in law.

Author speaks on capturing life in memoir

● Mary Beth O’Connor shares her addiction recovery journey

Submitted by Tish Davidson

Millbrae resident Mary Beth O’Connor, author of the award-winning book, From Junkie to Judge, will address common issues with memoir writing in a free Zoom talk sponsored by Fremont Area Writers on June 24.

After being abused as a child, O’Connor progressed from alcohol use at age 12 to methamphetamines at 16. She remained addicted to meth for 15 years and has been sober since 1994. Six years into her drug recovery, she attended law school at UC Berkeley and after passing the bar worked at a large Silicon Valley law firm.

In 2014, she was appointed a federal administrative law judge. After retiring in 2020, she had time to reflect on her journey from abuse to addiction to recovery, law school, and a judgeship and to consider how she could help others with trauma and addiction backgrounds.

The result was the memoir From Junkie to Judge, which O’Connor hopes will call attention to and reduce the stigma of addiction, trauma and its resulting anxiety, as well as encourage those who have experienced trauma and substance abuse to begin recovery.

LIFE CORNERSTONES

Fremont Chapel of the Roses

The idea of writing a memoir sounds simple, but O’Connor had to come to grips with reliving and sharing the unsavory and distressing parts of her life as well as her ultimate success. At her talk, she will share how she learned to shape her experiences into an immersive memoir, and what she has learned about the business of writing a memoir.

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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On July 15, 2025 at 12:00 PM, at the Fallon Street emergency exit to the Alameda County Courthouse, 1225 Fallon St., Oakland, CA 94612, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the

duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on November 15, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006425162, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Alameda County, California, executed by PETER T DAGUMAN AND RACHEL K DAGUMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N A as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3629 STEVENSON BOULEVARD 107, FREMONT, CA 94538 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 without covenant or warranty, express 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. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $376,836.65 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting.com or call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000098-25-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000098-25-1 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Website at www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case 23-01867A. 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 (916) 9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-01867A 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.
