Ohlone faculty and board reach an agreement

● Teacher demands include COLA, health benefits

By Stephanie Uchida

For the past few months, the United Faculty of Ohlone (UFO) and the Ohlone Board of Directors have been in gridlock, with the teachers protesting inadequate compensation and the board protesting that they lack funds for the requested Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and healthcare benefits.

Wearing matching red “Cola” shirts and waving signs declaring “Band-aids don’t fi x broken benefits,” UFO members and Ohlone students gathered in the courtyard and shared their perspectives during the board meeting’s open comment section on May 14.

UFO underlined three points of contention:

1. The need for a 1.72% COLA to be distributed over the next two to five years, for which state funding is available.

2. Healthcare benefits for part-time faculty (for which

After a hiatus in 2024, Fremont’s Burger and Brew Festival returns the last Saturday in May, 2025. California is the state with the most breweries, so sampling the works of Bay Area brewers is a fitting start to summer. A fleet of eight burger trucks

keep the food options on theme while offering bites across flavor profiles—adding chicken and veggie burgers to the traditional beef patties. Food and nonalcoholic beverages are available for individual purchase, while alcohol requires a drink ticket. A beer-only tasting ticket is $47, and $57 covers both beer and spirits. (Prices go up on the

day, so ordering ahead of time is recommended.)

Breweries include Anderson Valley Brewing Co. and Jack’s Brewing Co., with 10th Street Distillery. Mission Peak Wines will be on hand with four local wine options for those who love burgers but are only lukewarm on beer.

An art crawl of artisan vendors along Capitol Avenue will add shopping opportunities, and live music from The Dead-

Extraordinary Athlete Battles Back After Hip Replacement

Local woman happy to find the right surgeon, the right team, and the right place.

The story of Jayne Peterlin’s new hip is not a typical joint replacement story, but then again, Jayne is not an ordinary person. She is a 58-year-old competitive multisport amateur athlete who faced serious adversity before fighting her way back to competing and winning! She also happens to be a valuable team member at one of California’s top institutes for joint replacement. Jayne is sharing her story about how relentless rehabilitation enabled her to declare victory over a debilitating condition.

Jayne’s ordeal began in April 2021 when she was experiencing pain in her hip. While this may be a nuisance to anyone else, it is a big deal for an ultramarathon runner who is well in tune with her body (Jayne completed the 100-mile Western States Endurance Run in one day in 2019!). An X-ray didn’t show any problem, but Jayne followed up by getting a cortisone shot in her hip joint. Instead of alleviating the pain, she could barely move the next day. An MRI showed Jayne had a gluteus muscle tear. She had surgery at a Contra Costa County hospital to fix the tear, but again, it did not go as planned. Once inside, the surgeon found Jayne had a serious infection which kept her in the hospital on IV antibiotics for eight days, followed by 12 weeks of IV antibiotics at home.

Upon beginning her recovery from the infection and osteomyelitis (bone infection), Jayne did what world-class amateur athletes do—she researched and found the best strength trainer she could to help get her back in shape. While her early workouts focused on core strengthening, she ultimately got back to running. But despite her hard work and perseverance, something was still very wrong.

Right Place. Right Time. Right Doctor. Jayne has worked at Washington Health for 22 years and is now the senior coordinator for orthopedics. In this role, she is responsible for procuring all equipment, instrumentation, and implants used by the orthopedic surgeons at Washington Health and its Institute for Joint Restoration and Research (IJRR). What an appropriate career for someone whose pastimes and passions revolve around reaching their top physical performance for fun, fitness and competition.

In April 2023, Jayne had a CT with contrast to investigate the cause of her worsening hip pain. Within 30 minutes of arriving home from the imaging session, she received an urgent call from orthopedic surgeon, John Dearborn, MD, founder and medical co-director of the IJRR. Dr. Dearborn alerted Jayne that she had avascular necrosis (AVN) of her

femoral head. The ball-shaped end of her thigh bone within the hip joint was dying due to lack of blood supply! Jayne had to immediately stop bearing weight on that leg for fear of fracture and was scheduled for an emergency total hip replacement days later.

By now you may realize Jayne is not your average joint replacement patient. Keeping her body functioning well is central to her ultra-active lifestyle. While the IJRR provides comprehensive information about joint replacement and rehabilitation, Jayne did further online research on additional treatments to enhance her recovery.

See Jayne Run

After two years fighting crippling pain and serious infections in her hip, Jayne’s hip replacement and recovery were a major success. Dr. Dearborn was able to finally repair her torn gluteus muscle with a dermal graft and replace her diseased, damaged hip with a state-ofthe-art prosthesis (just like the ones she orders for all Washington Health and IJRR patients).

Three weeks after surgery she was off the pain medications she had relied on. “I literally have no pain now and there is nothing I can’t do!” said Jayne. “Dr. Dearborn really dialed me in and supported my nontraditional therapies which turned out to really work for me.”

“I literally have no pain now and there is nothing I can’t do!”

Jayne Peterlin

Jayne is back to winning. Her recent events included a Spartan obstacle course race and a mountain bike race where she took first place in both, and a sprint triathlon where she came in second. In fact, Jayne is back to her intense workouts with her trainer, practicing Bikram yoga, snowboarding, and even spending a week slaloming at a Florida water skiing camp with former women champions of the sport! While Jayne and her story are clearly extraordinary, the vast number of patients seen by Dr. Dearborn are not nearly as dramatic. Hopefully, the lessons Jayne learned about perseverance can bring inspiration and insights to other joint replacement candidates. When imaging did not uncover the serious issues with her hip, Jayne worked closely with her physicians to undergo further tests. She was wholly committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that resulted in her complete recovery. Jayne is a testament that when tapping your personal strengths, fighting external barriers, and having the right surgeon and clinical support staff, you can overcome anything.

A Fond Farewell: Washington Health Foundation Hosts 38th Annual Golf Tournament

On Monday, May 12, the Washington Health Foundation welcomed golfers and bocce players to the 38th Annual Golf and Bocce Tournament at The Club at Castlewood in Pleasanton. The tournament brought together friends and community members to help fund state-of-the-art surgical equipment and technology for Washington Health’s operating rooms and Trauma Center.

For 38 years, the golf tournament has raised awareness and valuable funding in support of Washington Health. The Foundation is excited to announce it was another successful year, with gross proceeds totaling over $125,000.

It was a full day, including an 18-hole golf tournament, bocce ball competition, putting contest, barbecue lunch, gaming holes, raffle, cocktail reception, and award ceremony. The tournament was held on the prestigious Hill Course with 122 golfers enjoying a spectacular day, while seven bocce teams battled it out on the courts for the championship.

Each year, the awards presentation is the most anticipated part of the day. The first place men’s winners were Jonathan Brand, Garrett Dickson, Travis Sams and Kyle Dickson of Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi. First place women’s winners were

Naomi Wallace, Linda Gonsalves, Sonja Hyman and Stephanie Harrison. First place mixed foursome, were Tim Hogan, Cindy Fujiwara, Todd Fischer and Benn Harrison. Bocce team champions, the Bocce Ballers, included Laura Anning, Gisela Hernandez, Becky Hudson and Tammi Tyson. Congratulations to all!

For decades, the Washington Health Foundation Golf and Bocce Tournament has brought our community together, creating lasting memories while making a meaningful impact on Washington Health patients. The Foundation Executive Committee made the difficult decision to conclude this long-standing tradition, to shift focus to meet the hospital’s most critical needs in the years ahead. This tournament was a fond farewell.

A special thank you to all of our generous sponsors, especially our Platinum Sponsors: Fremont Bank and Gonsalves & Kozachenko. We would also like to thank all of our golfers, bocce players, and volunteers who have generously supported the tournament and the Foundation for decades.

OPINION

Graduates deserve better than this job market

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

As a child of immigrants, I grew up hearing that America was the land of opportunity. My parents reminded me often how lucky I was to be born on U.S. soil.

And while I am deeply grateful to have grown up in this country, the phrase “land of opportunity” has started to feel less true in recent years. I just graduated with my master’s degree and accepted a full-time role as a staff reporter at Weeklys—an opportunity I’m incredibly thankful for. But I also recognize how rare

it’s becoming to step into a job right after college.

According to a 2024 report from Handshake, a student career services platform, only 30% of college graduates secured a job before turning the tassel. This year, job postings on the platform are down 15%, while applications per role are up 30%—a shift Handshake attributed to waves of federal funding

cuts and the uncertainty surrounding the new presidential administration.

These national trends are echoing in the Bay Area. Several companies in the Tri-Cities have announced largescale layoffs, including Tesla, which has cut over 1,400 jobs at its Fremont facility in the past year, and Fremont-based Confluent Medical Technologies, which plans to lay off 102 employees this June.

And so this is what I’m seeing: starry-eyed youth chasing dreams, heading off to college with hopes of changing the world—only to find little

waiting for them on the other side. I have peers who are returning to their childhood bedrooms, discouraged after months of unsuccessful job hunting. There are so many brilliant, capable and driven young adults who can’t catch a break in this job market.

My fear is that this will break their spirit. That the spark that led them to dream big in college will burn out. And if that happens, it’s not just graduates who will pay the price—society will, too.

America must do better by its college graduates. We deserve better.

Grant to aid at-risk teens in Tri-Cities

● Fremont City Council secures funding in partnership with Union City and county probation department to expand programs

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

At last Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Fremont officials approved a two-year, $726,095 grant agreement with the Alameda County Probation Department to expand Positive Youth Development (PYD) programs for at-risk youth and their families in the Tri-City area.

The funding, secured in

partnership with the City of Union City, will support a range of services targeting young people on formal probation, those being diverted from the juvenile justice system, and their parents. The new initiative builds on Fremont’s long-standing work with the county to support “at-promise” youth through counseling, case management and intervention services.

The grant covers programming from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. Of the total award, $437,190 will go to Union City, which will offer anger management and gender-responsive programming through its Community and Recreation Services Department. Fremont’s Human Services Department will oversee life skills training, including financial coaching, and parenting classes through its Family

Resource Center and Youth and Family Services divisions.

The programs are designed to help youth meet probation requirements, reduce behavioral issues, build life skills and improve family and peer relationships. According to city staff, many participants in the PYD program have experienced trauma, contributing to emotional and educational instability.

In their preliminary report, city staff emphasized that the new grant continues services previously funded by the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA), which is set to sunset at the end of this fiscal year. The new funding allows both cities to maintain continuity in youth support services without impacting the General Fund.

“There’s no requirement for the city to continue the program beyond the grant period,” said Annie Bailey, the city’s

Youth and Family Services administrator, adding that current staffing levels are sufficient to manage the program.

The council unanimously authorized the city manager to execute both the main agreement with the county and the subcontract with Union City.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR GROWING CORN IN THE HOME GARDEN

When it comes to planting corn I’m all ears

By Madhvika Singh

Freshly-grilled corn on the cob, sprinkled with seasoning, a hint of lime juice and a garnish of butter on a lazy afternoon is my definition of unwinding. When that corn comes right from our backyard garden, it’s rewarding as well. With multiple varieties, easy-to-germinate seeds, and the option of succession planting in one season, corn is a winner for my garden. Choose a sunny spot for planting, as corn needs at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. Because corn is wind pollinated, planting it in a block instead of just in a row improves chances of pollination. Corn prefers well-draining, fertile soil that has been amended with lots of organic material. As corn is a heavy feeder, a couple of mid-season fertilizer additions keep the plants going. It also needs ample watering. I prefer drip irrigation; when I hand-water corn, water settles between the leaves and stalk, inviting pests and diseases. Although seedlings are available in local nurseries and garden centers, I enjoy planting corn from seeds. The seeds are big enough to handle easily, and they germinate quickly. I am also able to try newer varieties for which seedlings aren’t available in nurseries. So far, I’ve grown: glass gem, blue corn, true gold, and honey and cream.

I soak corn seeds overnight and plant each seed about an inch deep and six inches apart. There are different recommendations on spacing between rows, ranging from two to three feet, but being a home gardener with limited space, I have kept spacing to about a foot, and it hasn’t been a problem. If I observe crowding, I thin out a few seedlings as needed.

I try to plant four to five rows in a fiveby-five foot area. The summers I haven’t been able to plant in a designated area of a desirable size, I ended up planting in clustered containers, and they did well there too. When planting in containers, make sure corn has plenty of nutrient-rich soil and containers are sturdy enough to support the plant as it grows. I used food-grade buckets and drilled holes for drainage.

While many plants rely on bees, birds and butterflies to help with pollination, corn is pollinated by wind. The tassels on the top of the plant travel by air to pollinate the silks that make the kernels. Hence planting in a block or keeping the containers in close proximity. Insufficient pollination is responsible for the common issue of unfilled or partially filled ears. Because different varieties of corn can cross pollinate through wind, it’s recommended not to plant corn varieties close together in order to keep them to be true to their variety.

Another exciting aspect about planting corn is that it can be planted in succession to get a continuous supply of produce (although two harvests are enough for our household in a season).

Corn is ready to be picked when the silks turn dry. The other sign to look for is that the ears feel full and filled out inside of the husks. At that point, gently pull the ear towards yourself to detach it. I like to harvest corn right before I am ready to prepare it. If I need to store it for a day or two, I leave a few layers of husk that are close to the kernels, after inspecting for any pests, and store in a zip-top in the crisper section of the refrigerator.

Some ways we like to enjoy the harvest:

Grilling:

Cook on the grill, rotating consistently for even charring. If using an oven, preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, wrap de-husked corn ears individually in foil and cook for about 30 minutes, rotating midway. If you prefer the charred look, unwrap the ears when they are cool enough to be handled and leave them under a broil setting for a minute or so, making sure they don’t burn.

Taste and texture will depend on the variety, cooking time and method. Some corn varieties become chewy sooner than others after harvesting. Grilled ears can be enjoyed sprinkled with flavoring agents, or the scraped kernels can be added to salads. To make a salad with grilled corn kernels as the star attraction, add black beans, onions and avocado slices, over a bed of greens sprinkled with lime or lemon juice. Spice it up with tomato salsa, jalapenos and hot sauce.

Corn kernels can also be dried, made into flour, and rolled out as a flatbread. A dear recipe popular in Indian ethnic cuisine is corn flatbread (“makki di roti”) served with cooked mustard greens tempered with a medley of spices and aromatics (“saryon da saag”).

Preserving:

I like to blanch the ears for about three minutes and then cool them in several changes of cold water. Scrape the kernels off with a knife and freeze them in a freezer-safe container, leaving about an inch of space. Make sure to label the contents and date before storing. For recipes where corn is cooked as part of the prep, I freeze uncooked kernels. Scrape the ears using a knife. Put them in a zip-top bag, label the contents and date before storing in the freezer. When I harvest corn, I ponder the beauty of the ear: silk on the top, and layers of husk covering intricately arranged kernels. As I unwrap the ears, I hear the memories of family gatherings and traditional recipes.

League of Women Voters launches protest movement

● Unite and Rise 8.5 embodies a proactive vision of America

Submitted by Sharon Turney

On May 1, the League of Women Voters of the United States, a century-old nonpartisan organization, launched a powerful new initiative. Unite and Rise 8.5 aims to engage and mobilize 8.5 million voters through advocacy, civic education and community engagement.

On April 17, 2025, Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters, and Dianna Wynn, president of the League of Women Voters, took the serious step of labeling our current moment a constitutional crisis, and concurrently announced the Unite and Rise 8.5 initiative.

The League defines a Constitutional Crisis as:

When the executive, the legislative or judiciary branches cannot or will not adequately protect the US Constitution, when there are explicit attempts

to dismantle a functional democracy within any of the three branches, or when any level of federal government takes action to destroy democratic institutions in a manner that intentionally or purposefully jeopardizes the US Constitution.

When these events occur, the Constitution is deemed at the highest serious risk and warrants full-scale action to preserve and protect democratic institutions and civil society.

“In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, as our Constitution and rule of law have been assailed, the democracy movement has been on the defensive,” said Stewart. “Today, that changes. Unite and Rise 8.5 embodies a proactive, positive vision of what America can be—something that anyone who cares about democracy, no matter their party affiliation, can participate in.

“More than 105 years ago, women of all political leanings fought together for the freedom to vote, and the unprecedented political moment we find ourselves in today demands we take action to lead a movement again,” added Stewart.

Over the next year and a half, Unite and Rise 8.5, which expands the League’s existing power-building work, will

The subject turned and swung a knife at the victim, then fled on foot. Officers located the subject nearby and placed him under arrest.

encourage Americans to reinvigorate our civic life through education and engagement, public mobilization, partnership-building and policy.

One might ask what is the significance of 8.5? Statistics show that sustained nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts. And those active protests with a 3.5% threshold of the population can lead to political change. Approximately 245 million Americans were eligible to vote in the 2024 general election; 3.5% of these eligible voters is roughly 8.5 million voters.

The League’s initiative will test the theory that it takes 3.5% of a population to protect democracies. It is up to all Americans, no matter their political leaning, to engage, mobilize and push back against anti-democratic threats.

Officers responded to a fast-food restaurant on the 43900 block of Osgood Rd. regarding a naked subject laying in the drive-thru lane. The subject threw rocks at vehicles, then fled on foot when officers arrived. The subject eventually surrendered, laying down on a patch of grass. He began chewing the grass and making nonsensical statements. The subject was placed on a mental health hold. Officers responded to shots fired at a residence on San Pedro Dr. A resident and his neighbor were involved in an argument that became a physical altercation. Nearby witnesses heard the subject say he was going to get a gun, then heard two to three gunshots. The subject is also under a court order requiring him not to possess any firearms or ammunition. Officers searched the residence and located a firearm and a box of ammunition. The subject was placed under arrest.

Ohlone teachers’ union pickets over COLA

— Continued from page 1

state funding can also be used), and a request for $125 per month increase in district contributions to full-time faculty healthcare (unfortunately already rejected).

3. Equitable compensation for laboratory instruction hours. These hours are compensated at lower rates across the board, but science labs require more work from teachers and are an integral part of instruction. Students of all ages came to show support for their teachers. A young man who joined Ohlone in 2022 shared how the teachers supported him after his mom passed away, and through a period of housing insecurity. He said he knew the feeling of “not being able to focus on what you truly care about because you don’t have a roof over your head.”

A student who began taking classes at Ohlone after a career in the private sector was surprised at the level of conflict around COLA in education. “You kind of get what you pay for,” she observed, questioning how Ohlone can retain talent without adequate compensation. “The private sector is so different from working in education. I didn’t realize that the things we take for granted as being standard [aren’t available to teachers.]”

Ohlone college provided data from Transparent California on salaries of admin, faculty and staff from 2023 (some may have changed since then).

President Sasaki’s salary was listed at ~$193,000, ~$204,000 with benefits included. One of the highest-paid positions, vice president of academic affairs Anthony Disalvo earned ~$336,000 in salary, with benefits and other pay bringing the total to ~$378,000.

A fulltime faculty member, Michael Curran earned close to $200,000 in pay, with benefits and overtime/other pay to ~$254,000. Curran’s base salary is on the higher end of the scale, with some listed faculty earning closer to $125,000; however, overtime/other pay and benefits boosted many listed faculty earnings near or over $200,000. The earnings for hourly lecturers were lower and varied a great deal.

In their statements, Ohlone College voiced commitment both to supporting faculty and to fiscal responsibility.

In a May 16 media release, the Ohlone College Leadership Team remained cautious about the possibility of getting state funding for healthcare benefits for parttime faculty, sharing, “reimbursements [for part-time faculty health benefits] are not guaranteed and may fall short if statewide demand exceeds available resources.”

There was an overall feeling among UFO that Ohlone had fallen away from its previous commitment to supporting faculty. UFO member Heather McCarty noted, “Since 2020, this current Board of Trustees first hired Dr. Bishop and then president Sasaki and enabled them to undermine the culture that has made Ohlone College such a special place.”

She continued, “Our previous Board of Trustees had total compensation studies done, and pegged compensation for faculty, staff and administration at the same level. Our previous Board of Trustees did everything in their power to always pass along COLA. And when we didn’t have the financial means to do so, we made a plan to implement that COLA later, as they did during the recession.”

Now, many longtime teachers are struggling. One English professor shared how he struggled to find funds to take his toddler to the emergency room. Baseball coach Mike Curran shared how he’s spent 12 years at Ohlone, making the two hour-plus commute from Mountain House near Tracy. Now his family can no longer afford to live in the area. He plans to continue coaching at the college while his family moves to Fresno.

Heather McCarty shared in her comment, “We successfully piloted a program providing part-time faculty access to state-provided healthcare funds. The staff overseeing this confirmed the workload was manageable. Yet this board instructed their negotiations team to make it permanent only if fulltime faculty agreed to cover the cost if the State didn’t reimburse promptly, effectively asking one underpaid group to subsidise another.”

On the matter of COLA, Ohlone stated in the same release: “While the State of California has proposed a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2025–2026, Ohlone College will not benefit from this increase due to the current Student Centered Funding Formula (SCFF) calculations. Our state funding will remain flat.” However, at least there is a guaranteed funding floor for the next one to three years, providing some stability to the college’s finances.

After a tense evening, it seemed that UFO and the District had reached an impasse and would jointly file with the Public Employee Relations Board. However, the week of May 19, representatives from both the college and the teachers’ union reached out to the paper with news that a tentative agreement had been reached, granting the teachers the three points they were picketing for. Hopefully, this step will be part of continued thriving for the college, teachers and students.

Union City switches to direct garbage billing

● Republic Services provides landfill, recycle and compost collection

Submitted by Maria Mendoza

Union City residential landfill, recycle and compost collection services provided by Republic Services and Tri-CED are currently billed through property taxes, but will be switching to direct billing by Republic Services in June 2025 for services commencing July 1.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How am I currently billed for landfill, recycle and compost collection?

All Union City residential accounts currently pay for weekly landfill, recycle and compost collection through the annual property tax assessment. Landfill and compost collection charges appear as “REFUSE/YARD WASTE” and the recycle collection charge appears as “RECYCLING.”

2. Why is the billing method changing?

Very few cities include landfill, recycle and compost collection service costs

with property taxes. Customers usually receive bills directly from their service providers. This change only requires payment quarterly instead of the full annual cost through property taxes.

3. How much is my bill?

The current full annual cost in property taxes for July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, for the standard service level is $790.20. Landfill, recycle and compost collection service rates are subject to an annual increase starting July 1.

4. How will I be billed after the change is made?

In June 2025, Union City customers will begin receiving a quarterly bill in the mail from Republic Services for landfill, recycle and compost collection service, starting July 1.

5. What will happen if I don’t pay my bill?

State regulations and Union City Municipal Code § 7.04.040 require weekly collection service. Sign up for Online Bill Pay with Republic Services

to receive bill notifications and to avoid late charges and potential fines.

6. What services will be included in my quarterly bill?

The new quarterly bill pays for weekly landfill, recycle and compost collection services and on-call bulky item collection services. Union City residents can schedule up to two bulky item collections per year.

Note: The “REFUSE /YARD WASTE” charge that currently appears on residents’ property tax statements includes an annual Stormwater Compliance Program fee of $80.31. This Stormwater fee will continue to be included in your property tax assessments and your landfill, recycle and compost bill will be reduced by this amount.

TRASH TALK Under the new system, Union City residents will pay for garbage services directly via Republic Services rather than through property taxes.

Not Loud Concerts presents Bluegrass Night

● Low-key live music hits just the right note

By David R. Newman

On May 30, All Saints Episcopal Church in San Leandro will host the world-traveling bluegrass band Dirty Cello, along with guest fiddler Michael Lu. The evening promises to be a fun, foot-stomping good time. And while this is not a religious event, it could certainly become a holy experience, depending on the intensity of the musicians and the acoustics of this redwood sanctuary.

It’s just the latest production in a fresh new concert series put on by Not Loud Concerts, a collective of local musicians whose mission is to showcase unique and fun spaces for people to enjoy music that’s “not too loud, not too long and not too expensive.” Says founding member Jason Eckl, “We want to create a concert experience that is enjoyable and inti-

mate, without all of the bad parts of traditional arena concerts like blaring volume, uncomfortable seats and never-ending encores.”

At a Not Loud Concerts event, you can expect the sound system to be “light and pleasant,” with an average duration of approximately one hour, in a venue that is “comfortable and safe” with plenty of parking. Says Eckl, “Seeing the Beastie Boys at the Oakland Coliseum is definitely fun when you’re young, but as you get older you want a different experience.”

Eckl and friends have been informally hosting these concerts for the past five years, playing at churches, museums, clothing stores and in lobbies. They look for venues that can seat 50 to 150 people. Each performance has a theme, with stories and trivia, to help engage the audience. And, as a special treat, each ticket holder receives an email link to a

high-quality recording of the show two weeks after the event. “It’s a snapshot of the concert and a nice way to share the experience with people who can’t attend,” says Eckl.

Not Loud Concerts is primarily a labor of love. All proceeds from ticket sales are split with the partnering venue. In the case of All Saint Episcopal Church, the money will go towards their food pantry program. The remainder will go to the musicians and the “tech crew”—student volunteers from Cal State East Bay who help with setup and running the sound system. Says Eckl, “It’s an opportunity for those looking to work in the music industry to gain valuable work experience.”

Not Loud Concerts aims to produce one show per month for most of the year, with each event taking place in a unique space. “They’re all different little gems,” says Eckl. “I love watching how the audience reacts when they enter these beautiful spaces. We’ve had shows in the Unitarian Universal-

ist Church of Berkeley, where there are trees in the lobby. And All Saints Episcopal Church doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you walk in you’re transported into this beautiful redwood box.”

Serra Center students complete art program

● Art guild sponsors drawing and painting lessons for disabled adults

Submitted by Judy Anglin, Olive Hyde Art Guild

In 2025, Serra Center marked 14 years of its art instruction program for developmentally disabled individuals, sponsored and funded by Olive Hyde Art Guild.

Twenty artists participated in the 10-week program, held Wednesday evenings at the Olive Hyde Mission Room in Fremont. With the help of City of Fremont art instructor Edie Christensen, who taught the class, and instructor aide Joshilyn Holmes, each of the 20 artists freely created their own paintings and drawings.

“I truly enjoy teaching the artists from the Serra Center. They are creative, attentive and love to paint with color,” says Christensen. “It was a pleasure to see what they would create with their different drawings and paintings. The program also provides a great social

Student artist entrepreneurs sell their work

● James Logan High School hosts art and craft fair

By Monika Lee

Combining artistic creativity and business savvy is the goal of the Jr. ARTrepreneurs Program started in 2018 by Heroes of Color (HOC). “The program’s initial objectives were to inspire students to explore different career pathways by learning about business and entrepreneurship,” said David Heredia, founder of HOC. “The mission has stayed the same, but…we are more intentional about making students tap into their gifts, their skills and helping them discover themselves.”

HOC inspires students to create and sell custom art while building confidence, critical thinking skills and financial literacy. Art supplies and business training are provided by HOC. The four-

experience for the artists to visit and paint together.”

For a special project, Christensen divided a 4x4 ft. canvas into sections for each artist to paint. The Guild funded framing expenses of one artwork for each student.

This year’s participating artists were Roger Anglin, Stephen Arruda, Cary Bell, George Cotts, Donald Dimenco, Joanne Elizarrey, Donald Fields, Maurice Kaasa, Stevenson Jones, Jennifer Lee, Michelle Nachmias, Jen Mellow, Roseann Pinto, Lori Santos, Andrea Stahl, Jennifer Sullivan, Patrick Tracey, Ryan Vevoda, Holly Zeman and Tillie Zelman.

The workshop is made possible through the collaboration of the City of Fremont Recreation Services, Serra Center and Olive Hyde Art Guild. The Guild provides funds for the art instructor and assistant, Mission Room rental, purchase of art supplies and framing expenses.

Serra Center, located in Fremont, provides compassionate care for individuals with developmental disabilities, serving over 80 adults in community-based Residential Care Homes, Independent Living Services and Supported Living Services.

week program culminates in an art show where students sell their own work. On Friday, May 16, middle and high school students from Union City presented their art for sale at the Jr. ARTrepreneurs Art Exhibition at Logan High School.

“Anyone can pick a career and work for someone else, but not everybody

can carve their own pathway and create opportunities for themselves,” said Heredia. “Usually, it starts with something as simple as believing that you could do that. Nobody has told [students] enough times that they can create their own businesses. We are grateful to the New Haven School District for

An auction of the artists’ framed works and their mural will be held later in the year at a special Serra Center 50th Anniversary event. Proceeds from sales will go directly to the artists. their partnership because together we are giving birth to a new generation of entrepreneurs in Union City.”

At the exhibition, the excited artists sat behind their imaginative creations— quite a few of which were already happily marked as sold. There was a variety of custom art for sale, such as decorated baseball caps, paintings, jewelry and jean patches. Many tables offered free candy to tempt customers.

“It opened a lot of doors to be able to create whatever. They [HOC] provide you with canvases and constantly ask, ‘Do you want more?’” said Logan High School student Mack McAvoy about the HOC program. “It’s cool because everyone has their own style so everyone’s doing their own thing and creating in the same room.”

HOC gives the student artists tips on how to sell their art and interact with customers. “We do skits about what if this person says this and what if this happens,” said Cesar Chavez Middle School student Addison Sierra.

HOC also offers student workshops on a variety of subjects like hand puppetry, animation and eco-engineering, to name a few. More information

Are ChatGPT resumes any good?

● Ways AI help or hurt your chances at getting an interview

By Anne Chan, PhD, MFT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been taking over practically every facet of our lives. Many people are now turning to AI to create their resumes and cover letters. I’m all for technology that can ease our burdens, but how good is a resume created by AI?

I decided to give ChatGPT a go, putting myself in the shoes of an imaginary high school student, Tobias Newby, who wants to break into the tech industry. Tobias has a common problem for new graduates: he has little work experience beyond being a babysitter and working at Taco Bell. Let’s see what ChatGPT can do for him. I started with this prompt: Help me create a resume for an entry-level job.

A cheery response came back instantaneously:

ChatGPT: I'd be happy to help! To get started, could you tell me a bit more about your background? Specifically: Name and contact information; Job or industry you're targeting; Education history; Any work, volunteer or internship experience; Skills (technical, language or soft skills); Certifications, awards or extracurricular activities. Once I have that, I can generate a professional, clean resume tailored to your goals.

I typed in “Name: Tobias Newby” but hit enter too quickly and forgot to put his contact information. I also typed in “Targeting entry-level jobs in high tech.” I added Tobias’s school (but forgot to add his graduation date). I stated that he worked at Taco Bell and as a babysitter. Lastly, I threw in his familiarity with Google Docs.

ChatGPT spit out a resume that, on the surface, looked pretty good.

What I Like/Dislike About the ChatGPT Resume:

• I loved the speed—if you need a resume in five seconds, ChatGPT is the way to go.

• I was relieved to see that it prompted my contact information in the resume, as I had forgotten it.

• I liked that it came up with an objective that wasn’t run of the mill. However, the objective wasn’t targeted to the tech industry; I can’t see a recruiter being wowed by it.

• I liked the Taco Bell bullets that it came up with but would have preferred to see more impactful bullets. I also hope that these bullets are truthful for Tobias.

• I would have liked the bullets to show more personalization and provide the employer with the results of his work. I was troubled that ChatGPT adds details that may not be accurate. For instance, I forgot to input Tobias’s grad-

uation date, but ChatGPT assumed that he would graduate in May 2025. ChatGPT also stated in the resume that Tobias has skills in Google Slides—not a detail that I included in my prompt.

I can see the limitations of relying solely on AI: ChatGPT does NOT prompt you to add details that would be helpful to include in your resume. For instance, you might not think that playing Fortnite is helpful in a resume, but it can actually be a great detail to add when applying to certain industries, e.g. gaming. You will have to do the work of thinking about which aspects of your life might be helpful to include.

AI used the phrase “willingness to learn” which I dislike for two reasons: 1) it’s overused and 2) few employers want to hire someone to learn. I would ask Tobias to showcase experiences where he has learned quickly instead.

It’s tough to come up with a resume when one does not have much relevant job experience. In this regard, I think ChatGPT can be a useful tool in getting started. ChatGPT provides a draft you can use to leapfrog into a much stronger version.

However, this is NOT a resume that would land you a dream job in the tech industry. In order for you to accomplish this, you would need to:

• Customize your resume to the job ad (ChatGPT may be helpful).

• Provide specifics and impactful results (you will have to do the legwork on this one and reflect on your accomplishments).

• Think deeply about experiences and skills that may not be obvious, but are relevant to the job.

Check each line of the resume to make sure it’s accurate. ChatGPT makes things up, so it’s your responsibility to make sure that your resume is an accurate representation of yourself.

Get feedback from trusted mentors to help polish and strengthen your resume. ChatGPT can’t take their places.

Overall, the ChatGPT resume is presentable, but not outstanding. It doesn’t give a sense of Tobias and his fit for the job. It doesn’t tell me his special qualities. It certainly does not get me excited enough about Tobias to want to interview him, let alone offer him a job. It’s a first pass, but you will still need to use your brain to finish the task.

Fremont City Council Approves Fremont’s Active Transportation Plan

On May 6, 2025, at the regularly scheduled Council meeting, the Fremont City Council approved Fremont’s Active Transportation Plan. The ATP consolidates the previous Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans and provides a framework where people of all ages and abilities are inspired each day to walk, bike, and roll comfortably without barriers. The Active Transportation Plan provides a 5-year work plan centered around three primary recommendations:

• Implementation of major roadway corridor projects that form the backbone of the citywide active transportation network.

• Continue or expand priority education, outreach, maintenance, and other supporting programs to promote and encourage walking and biking.

• Implement pedestrian and bicycle improvements serving Fremont’s designated low income and disadvantaged communities. The City encourages residents to walk, bike, and roll for fun and exercise or to school, work, or other local destinations.

FREMONT REMONT FAIR AIR

SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 2025

BY GEORGIA NICOLS www.georgianicols.com.

All Signs: Saturn takes about 30 years to go through all 12 signs, which means it stays in each sign for about 2 ½ years. Saturn has domain over the reality of your everyday world—the government, your identity, the bricks and mortar of your existence. However, Saturn is a great teacher! Between the ages of 28 and 31, Saturn returns to the same sign it was in when you were born. This is why people who are over 30 are different from people who are under 30.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

It’s eventful that Saturn is now in your sign! (The last time this happened was from 1996 until early 1999.) When Saturn is in your sign, it means you’re setting off on a new journey. Although it’s a journey of about 30 years, in the first seven, you will reinvent yourself, which means that by 2032, you will look back and be amazed at the difference! Saturn’s entry into your sign also means you have completed a three-year window during which you gave up people, places and possessions that were no longer relevant in your life.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

At this time in your life, some things are ending. You’re going through closets and garages to get rid of what you no longer need. Some of you will even give up partnerships, friendships or jobs. Some will even give up a country in the next few years. Do not think of this as a time of loss. Instead, you’re streamlining your life of what you no longer need. The challenge is that you’re ending one cycle but not yet ready to begin a new one.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

Soon lucky Jupiter will boost your assets and make you richer! Meanwhile, in the next two years, Saturn will help you to strengthen certain areas of your life so that you can withstand adversity. Recognition (particularly authority figures) will come to you. Be patient and persevering. Pay attention to what others require from you, and what commitments you have made. Your true test is learning how to work with the demands of others, while at the same time, maintaining your own integrity.

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

All your work from the last two decades is now ripening. For the next few years, you’re in your time of harvest. Where you prepared, results will be excellent. Of course, there will be failures. Don’t dwell on these. Despite the fact that this will be a time of increased respect and status—do not lose sight of what is happening in your personal world. Family and friends are important, especially to someone like you who is a sensitive nester. Failure is hard, but success can be more dangerous. Know what is important to you.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

Good news! Saturn is now in your fellow Fire sign giving you strong support. It will bring opportunities for achievement; as well as chances to strengthen areas of your life to withstand future challenges. Saturn will help you develop increased patience and perseverance; and your health will improve. Three years from now, you will enter your time of harvest, which means now is your time of preparation. Take courses and enjoy new experiences. Do what you can to get ready three years from now when Saturn reaches the top of your chart.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

In the next few years, you’ll have to come to terms with other people’s values. Nevertheless, somehow you have to learn to incorporate them constructively into your world, without destroying your own integrity. This is also a time when you will be thrown back on your own resources, because the resources of others might be reduced. For example, if you have left a long-term relationship, the practical and financial support might be gone. Fear not, lucky Jupiter will bring you favor, friendships and great PR.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

Saturn was opposite your sign from 1996 to early 1999. It’s here again, to challenge your closest relationships. Others might make demands you cannot handle. Even a good marriage will have to confront its flaws. Coworkers will make demands on you. If you look back, you’ll see that from 2010-18 you reinvented yourself in the eyes of others. More specifically, from 2015-18, job changes and residential moves might have occurred. Now it’s time to focus on your external goals.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

Some of you can harken back to 1996-1998, which was a time of heavy responsibility and hard work. This window of effort has returned to test your effectiveness as a human being. Take care of yourself. Conserve your energy for what must be done. You will

be exposed to a broader world, and your views on life will change. Travel, possibly to foreign countries, as well as opportunities in medicine, the law and higher education will be exciting.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

Like Leo, Saturn in your fellow Fire sign will support you for the next two and half years. It will bring you opportunities. It will help you strengthen areas of your life so that you can withstand adversity later. People in authority will help. Your health will improve along with your patience and perseverance. However, children might become an increased responsibility. You will also find that you will have the discipline to get the results you want. Meanwhile, partnerships and relationships will receive the warmest blessings possible in over a decade.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Home and family mean everything to you. In the last two years, life was unsettling in terms of jobs and residential moves. In the next two years, it’s important that you secure your home base. Saturn is travelling across the bottom of your chart, which is the foundation of your world. You need to solidify your home so you have the security to go forth into the world. Things you’ve been putting up with will now demand your attention. Fortunately, in a timely fashion, you will be able to improve your job or get a better job.

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

Since 2020, your life has taken a new direction. Even if you don’t think so, in the next 2 ½ years, you will change residences, jobs, or both. This is because since 2020, you have been reinventing yourself. The “New You” will be completed in about three years. However, in order to put the last “finishing touches” on your new self, you need to see the world with fresh eyes. This is why the milieu of your daily world will change. Meanwhile, in the year ahead, your health will improve along with your job.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):

In the last few years, you’ve been learning who you are on your own terms. In the next two years, you will learn what is really important. Not just material things, but psychological and spiritual. Ironically, this could be one reason why control over your physical possessions seems more tenuous. Be economical. Organize your finances because Jupiter will bring you opportunities for vacations and fun social outings Meanwhile, your creative vibes will be off the charts!

Capturing the light in soft pastel

● Artist demo shows how light enlivens any landscape

Submitted by Lina Melkonian

Fremont Art Association will feature prolific painter, Debbie Wardrope, at its virtual General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, June 4.

Painting has been a lifelong passion for Wardrope. While soft pastel is her medium of choice, she also paints with oils and acrylics. Wardrope paints the familiar and brings into focus some of what is missed in the pace of daily life. Her creations are marked by a strong sense of place and time and characterized by her masterful use of light and color.

In her demo, “Capturing Light in Soft Pastel,” Wardrope will illustrate the versatility of the medium in painting light to enliven the vitality of any landscape, seascape or cityscape on paper. She will demystify how soft pastel’s vibrant pigments and velvety textures can catch the golden glow of a vineyard on a late afternoon. As she puts it: “As pastel layers build up on the surface, they catch and reflect the light, creating a luminous, almost magical effect.”

Wardrope has a BFA in illustration from California College of the Arts. A recipient of numerous awards, she has exhibited in many group and solo shows, such as Art Expo in New York, and has shown her paintings in galleries from Yountville to Carmel.

Her body of work can be found at: debbiewardropeart.com.

The free demo will be held via Zoom. Participants must register in advance to receive the Zoom link via email.

Bay Area Book Festival changes the narrative

● Over 250 authors and 11 stages celebrate all things book

Submitted by Bay Area Book Festival

The Bay Area Book Festival (BABF), now in its 11th year, will take place in Downtown Berkeley on Saturday, May 31–June 1. Over two extraordinary days, 250+ authors from around the world will gather to ignite conversations and showcase the transformative power of literature. This year’s festival, centered around the theme of “Changing the Narrative,” invites attendees to explore how storytelling can bridge divides, foster collective healing, and rethink how people interact with each other, and the world.

The festival is proud to introduce J. K. Fowler, its new executive director, under whose leadership the festival continues to champion the power of books as a tool for collective joy, healing and activism, reminding all that the act of reading and sharing stories can change the world. “We all have gifts,” says Fowler. “Remember what yours are. If you don't know them yet, discover them. Find ways to share them. Even the smallest acts mean something in this time.”

New to the festival, the Bookworm Block Party on Sunday will offer an expanded outdoor experience with three outdoor stages and six indoor stages. As in previous years, all programming will be free, except the headliner events, featuring Judith Butler, Roxane Gay, Alicia Garza, Prentis Hemphill, micha cárdenas, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Tara Dorabji, and Greg Sarris.

In 1980, a search began for an artist to design a special monument to honor the members of the military who died fighting in the Vietnam War. A contest was announced, and artists from coast to coast sent in designs.

SPORTS

Gladiators shine at state meet

By Matt Schwab

Chabot College sophomore Robert Stitts won state championships in the men’s 100 meters and 200 on Saturday, May 17, in the 3C2A Track and Field State Championships. He was selected as Men’s Track Athlete of the Meet. His blockbuster effort highlighted Chabot’s five state titles overall in the two-day meet, including four on Saturday, at College of San Mateo.

First-year Chabot head coach Dooney Jones was thrilled with how

his men’s and women’s teams finished the season. “The energy and momentum are undeniable,” Jones said. “With a solid and motivated coaching staff, Chabot is building a championship culture focused on developing athletes who are hungry, focused and ready to elevate the program.”

The Chabot women placed sixth as a team with 46 points, and the men were eighth with 41.

Chabot freshman Jeremy Craft, a Logan High graduate, started things rolling on Saturday by prevailing in the men’s long jump with a mark of 23 feet, 2 inches. Jones described Craft’s first state title and All-American achievement as a “storybook finish to a season marked by perseverance and growth.”

The Chabot women’s 4x100 relay followed by taking first place in a time of 46.98. The relay consisted of Rymiyah Pringle-Hamilton, Nyarah Anderson-Brown, Maleah Taylor and Niah Alomar.

Chabot’s Shae Wright set the tone overall by winning the women’s pole vault title on Friday with a mark of 11-7.75, after placing second in the NorCal meet.

Wright has the Chabot school record of 12-1.5.

Anderson-Brown, a freshman, had a couple of near-misses, taking second in the 100 and 200 state finals, dropping a photo finish to Shayla Roy Williams of Modesto in the 200, 24.01 to 24.02. Jones raved of Anderson-Brown’s efforts that earned All-American honors and “set the tone for an even bigger impact next season,” he said.

The Chabot men’s 4x100 relay placed third. Stitts, an El Cerrito High graduate being recruited by Division I programs such as UCLA, South Florida and Cal State Fullerton, earned his first two state titles. He took the 100 in 10.34 seconds, just ahead of Jeffrey Missouri of Modesto (10.39). Stitts won the 200 title in a time of 21.37. Chabot freshman Jamal Perry was sixth with a PR of 10.59. “He lit up the track in unforgettable fashion,” Jones said of Stitts. “His dominance set the tone for a powerful weekend.”

Chabot’s Amartya Poovaiah was seventh in the men’s 800. Alomar was ninth in the women’s 100. Medha Gowda was seventh in the women’s 5000 (18:31.51).

Thirty Under 30 Award

● Ohlone volleyball coach receives recognition

By April Ramos

Ohlone College women’s volleyball head coach Courtney Owyang-Paras earned the Thirty Under 30 Award, bestowed by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).

The award recognizes up-and-coming coaches, assistant coaches and volunteers across club, high school and collegiate levels. Youngest among her peers, Owyang-Paras said the award validated commitment and passion.

As the only community college recipient, Owyang-Paras noted, “I’m proud to represent this level of collegiate athletics, which often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves. There’s a persistent stigma around community colleges, but the caliber of play and the opportunities we provide our athletes are exceptional.”

Owyang-Paras began her Ohlone coaching career in 2019 as an assistant and became a head coach in 2022. In the past three seasons the women’s volleyball team has shown great improvement, going from an overall record of 9-20 in 2022 to an impressive 23-8 in their latest season.

“Right now, I’m focused on continuing to elevate Ohlone College and solidifying our reputation as a highly competitive and respected program,” she said.

Out of status in the U.S.

●

What are the options to stay legally?

By Barbara Wong-Wilson, Mission Law & Advocacy, P.C. and SW Law Group P.C.

If you are a foreign national in the U.S. who entered legally—on a student, tourist or work visa—but have since fallen “out of status,” you may be feeling anxiety about your future. Falling out of status means that while you were originally admitted legally, you have now violated visa terms—by overstaying or failing to comply with visa requirements.

Accruing 180 days of unlawful presence can have serious consequences on future attempts to enter the U.S. However, there may still be options available to help you regain lawful status or at least avoid deportation.

Understand Your Situation

First, determine when and how you fell out of status. Did you overstay your authorized period (as noted on your I-94)? Did you stop attending school while on an F-1 visa? Did you violate the terms of your visa by working without authorization? Your specific situation affects the available remedies.

Option 1: File for Reinstatement

If you were on a nonimmigrant visa such as F-1(student) or J-1 (exchange visitor) and fell out of status through no fault of your own or due to exceptional circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for reinstatement. You usually must apply within five months of falling out of status. For F-1 students, this involves submitting Form I-539 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), explaining the reasons you fell out of status, showing that you are pursuing or intend to pursue a full course of study and proving you did not work without authorization. Reinstatement, while not guaranteed, puts you back into lawful status.

Option 2: Change of Status

In some cases, you may be able to apply for a change of status to another nonimmigrant category. For example, you can change from B-2 visitor to F-1 student, or from one work visa to another. However, USCIS generally requires that you be in lawful status when you file. In rare cases, you may obtain a discretionary approval, but you should consult an immigration attorney.

Option 3: Adjustment of Status (Green Card)

If you are eligible for a green card through family or employment, you may be able

to apply for adjustment of status, which lets you become a lawful permanent resident without leaving the U.S.

Barbara Wong-Wilson

Certain family categories offer a major benefit: If you are the immediate relative (spouse, parent or unmarried child under 21) of a U.S. citizen, you can generally adjust status even if you are out of status. This does not apply to family-sponsored preference categories or employment-based green cards, where being out of status may require you to leave the U.S. and apply from abroad.

Option 4: Asylum, U Visa, or Other Humanitarian Relief

If you fear returning to your home country due to persecution or harm, you may be eligible to apply for asylum, but you must apply within one year of arriving in the U.S., unless you qualify for an exception. If you have been a victim of certain crimes or trafficking, you may qualify for a U or T visa, which offers legal status and a path to permanent residence. You would need to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation.

Important Steps You Should Take

Consult an experienced immigration attorney. Immigration law is complex, and the wrong step can harm your future options. An attorney can assess your eligibility and recommend a strategy.

Gather documentation. Collect records of your lawful entry (passport, visa, I-94), evidence of your activities in the U.S., and documents showing why you fell out of status.

Avoid further violations. Do not work without authorization or engage in other activities that could hurt your case.

Act quickly. Time matters—some remedies have deadlines or are harder to obtain the longer you wait.

Conclusion

Falling out of status is serious but not necessarily the end of your U.S. journey. You may have options to regain or adjust lawful status or qualify for humanitarian protections. The key is to act promptly, seek professional assistance and carefully explore available legal pathways.

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. 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.

assigned to this case T.S.# 87976. 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. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 4777869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING. com, using the file number assigned to this case 87976 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; 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. Disclosure In compliance with CA civil code 2924f(F), the opening bid for the foreclosure sale is based on a valuation provided t the trustee by the lender of the lender’s representative. 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. All bidders are solely responsible for conducting their own Independent due diligence regarding the loan, the Property, its value, the lien priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, and the condition of the title to the Property. The trustee assumes no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by third parties, including the lender. The valuation used to determine the minimum opening bid applies only to the Initially scheduled sale date. Any postponement or continuation of the sale does not obligate the trustee to obtain or rely upon a new valuation, nor does It alter the trustee’s limited role in the process.

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 (855) 313-3319 or visit this Internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 131956-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 131956-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 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.
