OPINION Editor’s Note

Quantum leap U

nrivaled.

That’s my vision for the future of the VCReporter.

As of July 31, ownership of the VCReporter went to Times Media Group, a corporate media company based out of Arizona, Southland Publishing and David Comden our employer no more.

Replacing the publisher is uncertain.

Unrivaled perfection.

In our cover story, in Art and Culture, there was a rare discovery on Da Vinci’s floor that changed the way we set a standard for art and perfection.

Apparently “legend” has it that Da Vinci did not relinquish the art piece to the client because it wasn’t perfect. But what would you say to the person paying you that you indeed loved it and didn’t want to let it go?

Legends come and go and there is a moving bar for a standard in journalism that goes from “Journalism 101: don’t make it personal” to editors stalking reporters online to ensure no apparent conflict of interest, to the indifference and even fear reporters have of each other, lest they get scooped or otherwise.

That bar needs to be re-examined, closely.

This journalism gamut spans wide but I will tell you this, I’ve been sitting in this position in this office in a historic church at 700 E. Main St. in Ventura for 11 years, among colleagues and staff who span over two decades to some weeks working at the VCReporter, and I can confidently report, when I was told to stay the course and that the purchase was an investment in community news, I believe it.

And it’s exciting. For the time being, very exciting.

In my roughly 14 years working in journalism, it is apparent that there is always direction, even if subtle, about editorial content. It may be good or bad or a grand plot, but I can tell you this, this is Michael Sullivan, managing editor of the VCReporter, and I am excited about the possibilities of shaping the paper into one more reflective of the residents and readers but also that demands engagement and cooperation.

In my tenure at the VCReporter thus far, the stories I have been privy to, most of which have been published, are amazing, surprising, startling. They come from editorial staff contacts, readers and local residents but too often PR firms

that work with nonprofits and agencies that work with people to better lives. But then there is much more to the story that neither I nor our readers get to learn.

Context matters.

Now, aside from the disheartening things in our society, I am hoping we can distinctly connect with you, our readers, that you read for inspiration, not simply information. Despite so-called rules of journalism, our bylines do not simply represent reporters and columnists; they are people with names, lives and their own stories. Our ad reps and production team, people with names, lives and stories too. And there is no way to keep it purely balanced always; all of us are aware of how the society we live in has shaped our lives. That fact is taken into account in our reporting and all that we do here.

It seems as though now more than ever is the time to connect and reconnect with our community. We need to speak up as individuals, through our own self-awareness, not just through alleged representatives of our apparent best interests. And we want to serve as that platform for you to connect you to your community at large. Please help share the message with people who don’t read the paper or this note that the VCReporter wants to connect and to help resolve issues through awareness and get moving forward, accountability and enjoying our lives the ultimate goals.

It has been said the system as designed is the best the world has to offer, but many have endured serious injustice and they are the most despised as well.

Perhaps you could write to us your ideas of the kind of people who fit that stereotype and let’s see what we come up with so maybe we can understand, how come injustice? What is fair?

So for today, for this issue at least, I’m excited for what the future holds and read the current issue to see how the trial unfolds and learn about the genius of Da Vinci, plus much more.

Today is a good day.

To connect, email editorial@vcreporter.com.

To all, thank you for supporting the VCReporter, our readers who pick us up and read our content and then support our advertisers who believe in what we do and offer. forced to grow their populations by 20 to 30 percent each, over the next 10 years, by idiots in Sacramento (including Governor “Gruesom”), we need to find out how to get enough water for those many hundreds of thousands of residents, who will be moving into “affordable” housing.

Never mind that the only “affordable” housing are tents or trailers.

The state, by forcing this problem upon us, should damned well pay for the cost of building the desalination plants and desalters.

Around the world, there are more than 30 THOUSAND desalination plants and desalters in operation. Saudi Arabia and 11 other nations get 100 percent of their fresh water from desalination of ocean and ground water.

How many desalination plants does California have? As far as I can tell, California has five in operation and six more in the planning stage.

What about ground water desalters? I believe there are somewhere around 25 in operation, including two in Oxnard. We need a MINIMIMUM of 30 more desalination plants and 100 more desalters.

JOHN JAY Voice of Truth Oxnard

Can’t we just be friends?

In the opinion of the present reader, the heterosexual male and the homosexual female should be natural allies, in that both profess the same interested in eligible women. Yet, in spite of this beneficent common sense, we find that homosexual women everywhere wary of her natural ally, as if she expected him, even without cause, of some desire to change her persuasion by force, contrarily to her nature and his own interests. It is to be hoped, then, to rectify public discourse, that these two persuasions become reconciled to each other, and be enemies no more.

Feeling squiddish Local squid fisheries impacted by warm blob in Pacific

After reviewing the most recent days’ data, Anderson said that there appears to be “anomalously warm water off the Central Coast.” She emphasized the data set covered “the climatology period 2007 to the present.”

he squid landing docks at the Port of Hueneme are quiet. In recent years the summer months were busy with dozens of boats coming and going, offloading millions of pounds of California Market Squid into tanks for export to Asia for processing and then returning to be served up for fried calamari or other dishes.

The local squid fishery declined from 2014-16 in response to a warm water mass called “the blob.”

The name was coined by Nicholas Bond, Alaskabased research scientist with the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the University of Washington. Blob, as FUN FACT: California Market Squid regenerate their population every year. expected, is a reference to the amorphous monster It does show a red blob-shaped area about 250 kilometers from the 1958 horror classic film. off the Central Coast that is four degrees higher than Typically ocean temperatures 50 miles off the Souththe normal range of temperatures. ern California coast are “very much in step” with In 2010, well before the blob arrived, squid season in the ocean temperatures at the equator, said Clarissa the Ventura area brought in 126 million pounds of squid Anderson, executive director of the Southern Califorvalued at $33.7 million.

In Brief NURSES RALLY FOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS

On Wednesday, July 31, about 150 nurses rallied outside of St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard to demand more nurses and better security. They say patient safety is jeopardized because not enough nurses are on duty and the hospital needs to improve security procedures.

“I was kicked in the head while trying to restrain a violent patient,” said Don Hadland, a veteran ER Nurse at St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital in Camarillo The hospital is one of two Dignity Health-owned locations in Ventura County. The Camarillo location is also being targeted by the nurses who are organized as Union Nurses of Dignity Health and are represented by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 121RN. “The health care workers participating in the informational picket are valued and respected members of our team. We will continue to negotiate in good faith in the hopes of reaching a fair and equitable agreement,” said Megan Maloney, senior director of marketing and communications for Dignity Health, Central Coast. “We remain dedicated to serving our patients with high quality and excellent care.”

When asked about the specific issues raised by the nurses regarding needing more nurses and improved security, Maloney responded, “We believe negotiations belong at the bargaining table and not in the media, therefore I cannot comment further.”

LAWSUIT FILED TO STOP LOGGING IN LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST

On July 29, four organizations filed action against the U.S. Forest Service, claiming that a logging plan being proposed to reduce fire hazard will actually lead to more and larger wild fires. The logging plan is for areas of national forest near Mount Pinos, along the Ventura and Los Angeles county lines.

“If this commercial logging proposal is implemented, it would make wildland fires burn hotter and faster and put local communities at greater risk,” said Dr. Chad Hanson, forest and fire ecologist with the John Muir Project, a claimant in the suit. “We need to get the U.S. Forest Service out of the commercial logging business.”

The claim argues that the federal government did not use the correct level of environmental review when approving the project in 2018. The claimants state that the government used a “loophole” allowing the impact review to exclude logging because it is aimed at protecting homes from wild fires. Claimants argue that this is false, because half of the 1,200 acres slated for logging are part of a commercial timber harvest.

The John Muir Project is joined in the lawsuit by Los Padres ForestWatch, Mountain Communities for Fire Safety and Natural Resources Law.

OSD FAILED TO ADDRESS SPECIAL ED NEEDS

As of July 30, a federal court has confirmed that Oxnard Unified School District failed to properly identify students in need of special education instruction, thereby denying access to a proper education. The court declared this failure was “systemic,” and has, in some cases, led to students reaching the 7th and 8th grade without being able to read and write. The first motion on this matter was filed on Nov. 22, 2017.

Since July 1, the former superintendent of CESAR MORALES Oxnard Unified School District, Cesar Morales, has been serving in his new position as Associate Superintendent of the Ventura County Office of Education. Part of his duties will be to oversee special education programs. He had been at Oxnard Unified since 2013.

HANDIWORK COMPETITIONS AT FAIR CELEBRATE HOMEMAKER ARTS

The Ventura County Fair includes exhibits featuring Home Arts, or the handiwork of homemakers. Think sewn and knitted pot holders, cooking, table décor and place setting design. Five Star Culinary Connection is sponsoring seven cooking competitions as part of the Home Arts events, with first place winners being part of a drawing for a Platinum Professional Cooking System worth $3,000.

Valerie Ulmer manages the Home Arts program at the fair and has been involved in some way with it since 1976. “I live to cook and try new recipes.

I love working in the exhibits department. We carry on an old tradition from our grandparents and theirs: a county fair for all to come and participate in if they choose to.”

Events this week include a table setting competition called “Secret Garden” on Thursday, Aug. 8. “Best Pizza” is an onstage cooking contest on Saturday, Aug. 10.

t the end of the work day on Wednesday, July 31, staff of the Ventura County Reporter were notified that the paper, along with most of the assets of parent company Southland Publishing, had been sold to Times Media Group (TMG), a Tempe, Arizona-based company.

The announcement came as a surprise to the team of 11 employees, some of whom have been with the paper for over two decades and were now told, effective immediately, that they had a new employer.

“It was definitely a surprise, but I felt reassured when I was told that this was an invest- STEVE STRICKBINE ment in community news and when the new owner referred to Southland publications as ‘special journalism,’ ” said Michael Sullivan, managing editor of the VC Reporter for the past 11 years.

“Unlimited potential, that’s all I can envision.”

So far the only announced staffing change at the Reporter is the departure of David Comden, vice president of Southland Publishing. Comden had been with the company for more than two decades. TMG representatives said it was too soon to comment on plans about replacing him.

“Local news weeklies and magazines continue to be a vital part of each community they serve,” said Comden.

TMG representatives said this was the first purchase outside of Arizona for the company.

TMG owns 15 Arizona-based publications and digital brands. “The Southland publications have always been special in their connection with the communities they serve.

We can’t wait to further solidify that connection and do even more to demonstrate our commitment to our readers, our advertisers and our neighbors,” said Steve Strickbine, owner of Times Media Group.

Southland Publishing, founded in 1997, has five offices located in Downtown Los Angeles, Downtown Ventura, Santa Monica, Pasadena and San Diego. The TMG purchase includes all five newsweeklies: the LA Downtown News, the Pasadena Weekly, The Argonaut, the VC Reporter and the San Diego City Beat. Additionally, TMG has purchased Southland’s three monthly magazines: Arroyo Monthly, Playa Vista Direct and Ventana Monthly. Southland’s associated digital properties are also included in the transaction.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Southland Publishing and I have been very proud of these publications, and our employees who have made them such important parts of the communities they serve, and we are confident that Steve Strickbine and his company will be wonderful stewards of these publications and that the readers and advertisers that continue to support them are in good hands,” said Bruce Bolkin Southland Publishing President.

“For years, I’ve heard the conventional wisdom about local news being dead — and I couldn’t disagree more,” said Strickbine. “We have always bet against that idea as a company we’ve been very successful doing it. Is it easy to do? Of course not. We need to work harder and be smarter than the big metro newspapers, to show aspects of the communities we cover that matter to readers and too often get ignored.

We also need to offer better, more engaging advertising opportunities to our advertisers. If we do that, we have every opportunity to succeed. And the communities we serve will be the better for it.”

riting from Downtown Ventura, Monday, Aug. 5, I just received the call from your wife, partner, comrade, about your passing.

What can I say … … …

So I was thinking about you and your presence in the Ventura civic scene. I remember your white shirts and red? suspenders and bright white hair. I remember your towering presence. I remember thinking of how you were navigating being on both sides of the political spectrum.

I think of our last conversation by your hospital bed when you divulged why you changed from Democrat to Republican, saying you couldn’t get support when you tried to run for office so long ago.

You were reluctant to share this confession of yours. I understand, dear friend.

The past is the past, as every- Neal Andrews, March 23, 2018, at the one always says. But you were a Vagabond. fierce opponent to cultural norms, by being engaging, considerate, reasonable while maintaining your opinions. Too bad you never were a team player. You were just Neal Andrews, a man of faith and Ventura City Councilman for nearly 20 years, mayor for one, during the Thomas fire that nearly killed you with double pneumonia.

You were a voice for the homeless when others wanted them moved along, out of sight. You understood responsible fiscal policy, and the weight of taxation, and you understood that few things in life are fair.

You are not gone, simply moved on.

Adventure Time PAR 45 | GOLF N’ STUFF CELEBRATES MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY

by Kateri Wozny

riving Highway 101 near Victoria Avenue, all eyes dart to the huge white castle and sign at Golf N’ Stuff. The park opened on Aug. 10, 1974, and after 45 years of providing family fun, it keeps on buzzing with laughs, smiles and cheers.

One afternoon I indulged in a round of miniature golf ($11) and go-karts ($9). The last time I played miniature golf at the park was in 2012.

Ahead of me, I met Steve Chopp of Thousand Oaks, who has been coming to Golf N’ Stuff since 1980. He brought his sons Garrett and Matt along for a fun outing.

As I watched the trio, they killed it as they got the ball through a windmill and into the hole with about three strokes. My game? I need more practice. Fore!

“I like coming here because this is a good spot to golf,” Garrett said.

Go-karts are my favorite activity at the park. I have a love for driving in general, I feel so free — maybe it’s a control thing? When I go-kart race, I always try to outrace the person next to me. After about six laps around the course, I came out a winner.

General Manager David Blaser estimated

more than 200,000 people come to the park each year. The company also has locations in Norwalk, California, and Tucson, Arizona.

“We provide wholesome family fun in a safe and friendly environment while creating an exciting and enjoyable work place that keeps people coming back time and time again,” said Blaser, who has been the general manager for 25 years. He even has “Employee of the Month/Year” plaques hanging on the wall going back to 1995 to recognize their impact.

According to Blaser, Golf N’ Stuff is owned

by George Brimhall, who developed a passion for building miniature golf courses at a young age while working with his cousins in Utah.

Brimhall helped develop the first bumper cars, bumper boats, concession go-karts with bodies and other family entertainment centers/fun parks across the western U.S. “We like to believe and hope we are a staple in the community, both as a business and an employer,” Blaser said.

Golf N’ Stuff offers miniature golf with two courses (18 holes each), go-karts, bumper boats, bumper cars, a laser tag arena and an arcade filled with games, including Halo Fireteam Raven, Guardians of the Galaxy pinball, Maze Escape, DC Super Heroes, Luigi’s Mansion and

Angry Birds.

Blaser said Golf N’ Stuff is always expanding with new activities.

“We take our time and make precise decisions on what needs to happen when, so it works for everyone,” Blaser said. He said that a new virtual reality game called Finger Coaster, where customers can draw their own thrill

roller coaster ride, would be launching soon.

As for me, I’ll be back to work on parring F three and under in miniature golf.

Golf N’ Stuff is located at 5555 Walker St. in Ventura. For more information, visit www.golfnstuff.com/ventura/info.html.

Trial begins THE TWISTED BACKSTORY OF THE VENTURA STORAGE FREEZER MURDER

H

BY GRACEE ARTHUR

ow does a “Cat Motel” thrust a gal into a Dateline-style tale of murder? This is a question I ask myself often these days after I found myself being targeted by a woman

indicted as an accessory to murder after the fact. More importantly, how does such an indicted person continue to be out on bail eight years after the crime was committed and six years after the body was discovered?

In May of 2018 I needed a temporary place to stay. A friend of mine suggested a motel in Ventura County which would allow my two rescue cats. The motel environment was the “Bates Motel” meets a Fellini film.

JEFFREY KORBER

8—

— August 8, 2019

The “cat motel” where Gracee Arthur resided and met Mary Francesca Hannan, mother of Michael Bresnak.

A FAILURE OF JUSTICE

The older male owner had a ritual of lying down in the parking lot wearing only Speedos. His sister/co-owner liked to yell at guests and employees over a megaphone.

There also was an older heavyset blonde woman who was always attached at the hip to the female owner.

Drama was almost a daily occurrence at this place, with police and ambulances WHO IS MARY often appearing at all hours. I had the FRANCESCA HANNAN? room next to the female owner; her door Attempts to obtain Hannan’s was often open and the heavyset blonde booking photo, Marta Bugarin for the was her constant visitor.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Department The eccentric female owner of the responded: motel liked to chat with me. The heavyset “Unfortunately I am not able to blonde woman would walk by me and release Mary Hannan’s booking scowl. I did not know who that woman photo. Ms. Hannan has been out of was, but she seemed to be in control of the our custody for over three years and owner and all that went on at the motel. her booking photo is no longer public On Nov. 9, 2018, I discovered my nemesis’ information.” name and a story that sent chills through Attempts to obtain any images my spine. regarding this case from the Ventura The Malibu fire was just one of many Police, Karen Moore, records in California in November of 2018. There manager responded: were both planned and unplanned power “The police records requested outages in many impacted areas. On Nov. are exempt from disclosure pursuant 9, 2018, Malibu was burning. The same to Government Code §6254(f) day, unrelated, the electricity at the motel and Government Code §6255(a).

This matter is subject to ongoing went out due to a small fire on a pole on prosecution and the interest served the back road. by not disclosing these records The owner’s brother was working clearly outweighs the public interest the front desk when I inquired about the served in disclosing them.” power outage. He informed me of the flash fire on the street behind us and that Edison shut down the electric. The prognosis for restoration of power was a couple of hours.

Time passed and it was beginning to get dark. Two hours had long expired. I woke up from a nap (not much else to do with no Internet, etc.) and asked the owner if he had an update. There was none. Hours later there still was no electricity. I went outside again and here began the saga of the mysterious heavyset blonde woman.

Outside, in their usual spot, hip-to-hip, were the female motel owner and the blonde woman. I walked up to them and spoke only to the owner.

“Perhaps the breakers need to be switched on?” The voice that answered was not the owner’s but the woman at her side. Loudly and sarcastically, I was told to shut up and as I walked away the blonde woman continued to yell at me. I told her to “get a life” and the next thing you know she is in my face. A “bit” of an overreaction. Then inches from my face, “You will pay for this!”

I walked upstairs to my room. Moments later the female motel owner came up as well. “You cannot get mad at Mary. May I tell her you are sorry?”

I did not care about Mary. I told the owner she was welcome to apologize for me. I did not anticipate ever again needing to speak to Mary.

Later, I asked an employee at the motel Mary’s last name. What I would soon learn about Mary was quite unexpected and truly horrific.

MARY, MARY QUITE CONTRARY

My search into who Mary Francesca Hannan is began. I learned that Hannan is a disbarred attorney who, after some time under suspension, was formally disbarred in

September of 2018. Multiple charges were referenced in her disbarment. But this did not prepare me for the story I would soon discover!

THE VENTURA FREEZER MURDER!

The first thought I had was horror. The second was that this reads like an episode of Dateline. Michael Bresnak was found guilty in 2018 of killing his mother’s boyfriend, Jeffrey Korber, and storing his body in a freezer at a Ventura storage unit. Hannan turns out to be the mother of Michael Bresnak, who is now serving 18 years to life in prison for the murder of attorney Jeffrey Korber in 2011.

Hannan pleaded not guilty in 2018 to the following charges: Conspiracy to commit a crime, accessory to a crime after the fact, and conspiracy to commit a crime injurious to the public.

Well, this was a lot more than I ever expected to find on the Internet that day. I never read about this story in 2011 when Korber “disappeared.”

MICHAEL BRESNAK Two years went by while his family, to no avail, searched for him. Korber’s ex-wife, children, brothers — all impacted by their loss and unable to discover the whereabouts of their “mildmannered” brother.

Who would ever suspect Korber’s body was wrapped in duct tape, stuffed in a garbage bag and residing in a freezer? A freezer in the storage unit rented by Hannan.

Then on June 2013 the police received an anonymous tip, which led them to the storage unit and the resting place of Korber.

ISN’T IT IRONIC

Hannan’s indictment and the murder of her boyfriend, Korber, at the hands of her son, Michael Bresnak, was all over the Internet and the news. She had become a well-known person. I knew nothing of her except for the documents I read, such as her disbarment and indictments. The VC Star is one of many outlets that carried the gruesome story.

Meanwhile, Hannan kept harassing me. One day she overheard me talking with an acquaintance at the motel about the articles I had discovered. A few days later the owner of the motel served me with a legal document on behalf of “Mary Francesca Hannan.” I was being sued for ruining Hannan’s reputation. Actually, I thought she did a pretty good job of doing that on her own! In the legal document, Hannan declares of herself, “I am well respected in both my professional and personal life.” Am I the only one who sees the irony here?

The original charges against Hannan were decided by a grand jury on Feb. 8, 2016.

Somehow she has been able to drag her trial out for over three years. Hannan is scheduled for trial again after postponing her trial date of May 10, 2019. On that day she was busy involving herself in an unemployment case that had nothing to do with her. I was a witness. The female owner of the “cat motel” lost her case. Judgment was in favor of the former employee. The judge wrote a very harsh judgment against Hannan and the motel owner she represented.

Hannan’s trial date is now scheduled for Monday morning, 9:30 a.m., Aug. 12, at the Ventura County courthouse at 800 S. Victoria Ave. The DA’s office earlier this week confirmed the trial date. I plan to be in the courtroom and follow the case closely because Hannan needs to be brought to justice. Korber’s family deserves closure. The failure of the court system to try this woman in a timely fashion is hard to understand or accept.

Michael Bresnak sits in a prison cell found guilty of murdering his mother’s boyfriend while his mother, Hannan, remains free on $20,000 bail enjoying her life many years after the murder. We may never know the full story of why Korber was murdered, but it is time for a jury to finally decide the fate of Mary Francesca Hannan. ✦

Renaissance man The genius of Leonardo da Vinci on display at the Ronald Reagan Library

by Emily Dodi

A

little corner of Simi Valley has been transformed into The World of da Vinci.

On display, through Sept. 8 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum are working models of some of Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest inventions, as well as digitalized restorations of some of his most famous paintings.

Melissa Giller of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute explains that the foundation routinely surveys guests to find out what exhibits they would most like to see. Da Vinci stood out by “leaps and bounds.”

The foundation reached out to the Leonardo3 Museum in Milan, whose The World of da Vinci traveling exhibit arrived here in time to honor the quincentenary of the legendary artist and inventor’s death.

“They took Leonardo da Vinci’s original drawings and illustrations and built them exactly,” says Giller, referring to Leonardo3’s painstaking work in bringing da Vinci’s most incredible imaginings to life. The references were da Vinci’s codexes, or folios, that are filled with mechanical designs and scientific studies. The task of recreating was made all the more difficult by the fact that da Vinci, being left-handed, wrote backwards so as not to smear ink across the page.

The result is three dozen models that constitute an aweinspiring display of da Vinci’s genius. They include everything from his flying machines and mechanical animals to weaponry, boats, musical instruments, a submarine and even a time machine and “magic cube.” Accompanying each model is a copy of da Vinci’s original drawings and a detailed explanation of how each creation was built and how it functions. “It’s a great way for families to spend the day,” Giller says. She recommends that visitors arrive early so that they have plenty of time to explore. “It’s absolutely worth it.” The World of da Vinci is an engineering buff’s dream, but you don’t have to be a student of aerodynamics or physics to appreciate da Vinci’s intellect and artistry — or his incredible foresight.

As Giller points out, da Vinci’s inventions were centuries ahead of their time. His flying machines imagined how a human could take flight, hundreds of years before the Wright Brothers flew into the history books. Giller also notes that da Vinci’s flying machines were powered by

mechanisms resembling bicycles, and yet the first bicycle did not roll into existence until the late 1800s — more than 300 years after da Vinci passed away. So many examples of da Vinci’s prescient imagination are on display, from his rapid-fire crossbow to his mechanical soldier, which looks like a direct ancestor of the modern robot.

“How might he have changed the world if he had published his works?” Giller wonders, after explaining that da Vinci kept his folios to himself and they were not discovered until long after he died in 1519. All we can begin to know is the impact he continues to have on us today.

“His work is still in our culture and society,” says Giller.

The exhibit explores his legacy, from the influence he had on artists such as Andy Warhol to da Vinci “moments” on television and in the movies. At the end of the exhibit are several artifacts connected to the Reagan presidency, including the copy of one of the da Vinci codexes that was presented to the Reagans, as well as several works of art in the Reagan collection that were inspired by the Renaissance master.

Da Vinci’s own works shine in another part of the exhibit, where digital reproductions of “The Last Supper,” “The Mona Lisa,” “Vitruvian Man” and “Lady with an Ermine” are put into social and historical context with the help of engaging interactive elements.

Giller tells the story of the time da Vinci was hired by a man to paint a portrait of his wife. Legend has it that da Vinci was unsatisfied with the portrait, so he never gave it to his client; it was later found in da Vinci’s studio after his death. That painting was “The Mona Lisa” — one of the most beloved and valuable works of art in the world.

The World of da Vinci celebrates this side of da Vinci, too — the human side that coexisted with the mechanical and artistic genius. The exhibit offers a glimpse at his humble beginnings, his self-doubt and perfectionism, as well as his endless thirst for discovery. “His passion was inventing,” says Giller. Visit The World of da Vinci and you ✦ can experience that passion for yourself.

Christopher Yanez and Lizett Evangelista of Astreyas

Traveling without moving Oxnard electro-rock group Astreyas reaches for the stars

by Chris O’Neal

I

n an empty room formerly occupied by patients of the Camarillo State Hospital in Camarillo, Christopher Yanez and Lizett Evangelista gaze through closed windows, pace and twirl around the empty floor, and fade in and out of existence.

The pair make up Astreyas, an electronic-infused rock outfit from Oxnard, and this is the video for their debut single, “Anomaly.”

LONG LIVE ANALOG Yanez and Evangelista created Astreyas in 2018 when the pair’s interests crossed paths. Yanez, who had previously appeared in various shoegaze-tinged bands ala My Bloody Valentine, met Evangelista when she approached him about helping her find a unique sound to go along with the ideas she had floating in her head.

Yanez immediately rejected the idea of using computers to create the amalgamation that would become Astreyas’ sound.

“What if we brought back this more analog sound with actual hardware?” said Yanez, at the onset, pulling from his collection of vintage analog equipment.

To that end, Yanez brought with him a Clavia Nord Lead 2X Virtual Analog Synthesizer and Eastwood DEVO Bob1 Signature Whip It Guitar, just to name a few. All instruments are hand-played and synced electronically, with acoustic tracks synced with drums and so on.

“It gives it a more lively feel which ended up being a trademark of our sound, because it has more of an organic feeling because of those live drums,” said Yanez.

ADVENTURES IN SONGWRITING Both natives of Oxnard, the pair make a unique duo themselves. Yanez grew up playing music, locking himself in his room with tabs from The Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness until he perfected the sound. Evangelista’s family was involved in her church’s choir. As Astreyas’ vocalist, she brings with her a love for singing, though she never partook in

— August 8, 2019

church activities and instead found her voice on the karaoke stage.

Evangelista also serves as primary lyricist for the band, describing her songwriting as an artistic endeavor.

“When I do music it’s more like a painting,” said Evangelista.

“It’s a feeling that I go off on an adventure with.”

Working backwards once Yanez has developed the sound, Evanglista says she draws from it the mood and writes lyrics based on where the song leads her.

“Once I hear the song, in my head, I start building the story and feeling,” said Evangelista. The pair meetup and discuss their feelings regarding the track and then “meet in the middle.”

REACHING FOR THE STARS Both members of Astreyas hold day jobs on opposite schedules, Yanez’s work taking him into the early morning hours. Most of his songwriting takes place between the hours of 2 a.m. And 4 a.m., said Yanez, alluding to the album Muzik for Insomniaks by Devo’s Mark Allen Mothersbaugh. Yanez also points to Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode as early influences.

“Astreyas” in Spanish is “star,” chosen specifically to allude to the band’s lofty goals of making music for space travelers. The debut single, “Anomaly,” kicks off with strings and rockets toward a late ’90s techno-rock hybrid with raging guitars accompanied by upbeat dance chords, Evangelista’s Shirley Manson-esque vocals as haunting as the location chosen for the video.

For Astreyas’ next album, Evangelista is aiming for a heavier, darker sound.

“I was surprised the EP didn’t come out as heavy,” said Evangelista, hoping to add more grinding guitar. “For my taste it came out F a little too poppy.”

Astreyas’ debut self-titled album can be found on Spotify, Apple Music and other digital streaming services, as well as in limited physical formats available at Salzer’s Records and Amoeba Hollywood. For more information on the band, visit www.facebook.com/astreyasmusic

he Commanders Jazz Ensemble of the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West will perform a free concert this weekend in Port Hueneme. The only active-dutyAir Force band west of the Rockies, it will offer local audiences a showcase featuring jazz, swing, Broadway favorites, patriotic music and more at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 11, at the Oceanview Pavilion Performing Arts Theatre by the Beach.

“The Band of the Golden West is proud to represent the excellence of Air Mobility Command and the 680,000 airmen in over 130 career fields serving around the world, protecting our freedoms and delivering hope to those in need,” said Sharon Kloeris, vice president of the Oceanview Pavilion.

This group of highly-trained professional musicians is formed from 18 active airmen under the direction of Master Sergeant Ricky Sweum. The goal of the performance is to bring communities together, as well as celebrate and pay tribute to veterans, military families and the thousands of men and women serving our country today.

Additional event highlights include guest speaker Jeremiah Pauley from the Wounded Warrior Project, a charity and veterans service organization that offers programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following 9/11.

“He’s proud to have served his country for 11 years in the United States Army,” said Kloeris, noting that Pauley’s journey in the airborne infantry ultimately took him to Tal Afar, Iraq, where he was injured by a road side bomb. Due to his wounds, he was medically retired from the Army in 2007 as a staff sergeant. His awards include the Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge.

“Jeremiah’s story is one of turning negative events in to positive actions that serve others,” Kloeris said.

“And he will no doubt tell you about the biggest inspirations in his life . . . to educate the American public on the struggles our nation’s service members overcome through the extraordinary and inspiring stories shared by wounded warriors and caregivers.”

CHECK LIST: p phone number is correct

PLEASE NOTE: Client: Players Casino

Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood Directed by Quentin Tarantino Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino Rated R for language, some strong, graphic violence, drug use and sexual references 2 hr. 41 min.

T

o pen a fable is to tell a fictitious tale, usually with a moral. It’s a term associated more with the likes of Aesop than with Quentin Tarantino.

Yet, Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood is a fable and more. It’s a love letter, an ode to a time and place, an era that is no more: Hollywood, California, at the end of the 1960s. I defy anyone, who was any age of cognizance, who remembers anything about pop culture and Southern California in 1969, not to be over the moon about what might well be Tarantino’s most passionate work since Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. And I challenge younger moviegoers not to be impressed with the recreation of a world that was like stumbling into a big-screen museum, with a lot of stories and larger-than-life characters, real and imagined.

The writer-director-auteur brings the wealth of his repertoire to this film, with the exceptions of a certain ethnic slur and the expansive presence of Samuel L. Jackson. The requisite Tarantino ultra-violence is quarantined to one act, the concurrent stories are many, the Hollywood landmarks are plentiful, and the soundtrack is vibrant — 1969 comes alive not just with music, but with the actual on-air work of the KHJ Boss disc jockeys.

The voices of Robert W. Morgan, The Real Don Steele and Humble Harve Miller pour from car radios, as they did 50 years ago, when a music station on the AM band could still have omnipresent power. Even the old KHJ

my recent adventures in dining took me to a world where all the animals grow old and grey.

Hip Vegan began its lifecycle on the East End of Ojai as a quaint option for the burgeoning plant-based diet demographic. While the fare has always been first rate, the thorn in its side was the distance from downtown.

While the East End has recently experienced a renaissance of sorts, Hip’s decision to move into the heart of town has proven to be advantageous. Losing none of the boho chic vibe, the new space is more open and flowing than the previous incarnation, while still boasting a friendly, sprawling patio for dining al fresco.

My “partner in dine” just so happened to be a professional vegan chef, trained by none other than organic/ locavore superhero Alice Waters. I was able to ride shotgun while she took the wheel and devised our bounty.

This was a worthy plan, considering that the options were so vastly tempting.

Addressing the liquid situation first, we refreshed ourselves with a crisp apple/lemon kombucha, the ideal accent to mid-summer afternoon heat swells in the Ojai Valley. This libation also paired well with the first dish we received, the gunpowder fries. These crunchy characters were tossed in a uniquely spiced “coating” before jumping in an oil Jacuzzi, providing a depth of p spelling is correct

texture and taste. The turmeric, paprika and citrus tones offered enough zing that the accompanying dipping sauces weren’t necessary, but recommended.

The ensuing plate brought spring rolls, an all-time favorite on my personal light-fare menu. Garden-fresh and healthy too, Hip bases its version round a hearty slab of baked tofu marinated in a spicy, pseudo-teriyaki sauce. Julienned carrots, cucumbers, zucchini and heaps of vibrant mixed greens insulate the tofu before the shrinkwrapesque rice paper exterior is applied. As well, the sheer size of these behemoths transformed a typical appetizer dish into an entree.

Next in our cavalcade of cuisine was the Old Fashioned Burger and Wagamama Bowl. The former, an updated nod to the Rockwellian portrait of America’s Golden Age, looked and played the part marvelously, minus the side of guilty-conscious. Rich and nutty, the patty effortlessly provided the stage for all the other classic ingredients.

I have always held to the belief that a truly fantastic burger begins and ends with the freshness of the produce, because no matter how delicious the patty may be, wilted lettuce, pithy tomatoes and soggy pickles are kryptonite. The structural integrity of the patty also held together nicely, an issue I have come across during several veggie burger encounters. The Wagamama Bowl — quite possibly my favorite dish title to say — however, was the highlight of the experience. A simple yet cohesively dynamic collection of superfoods, the Wagamama is the kind of meal that makes you want to run a halfmarathon.

If food were fuel (which I guess it technically is) the Wagamama would be super-unleaded 91 grade. chock full of brown rice, Koya tofu, spinach, avocado, Japanese sweet potato, pickled cucumber, micro greens and insanely fresh sea greens. This dish was so lively that I could basically feel the iodine from the sea greens cleansing my body of both heavy metals and bad mojo, which is something all of us need these days.

There are several other ethnic-tinged options available at Hip, ranging from Indian to Asian to Southwestern. No matter which cuisine coordinates you choose to follow, the journey will no doubt lead to the same delectable destination. ♦

ADVICE GODDESS

The Feud Pyramid

T

wo weeks ago, I finally dumped my totally abusive jerk of a boyfriend. I do miss him, but I know I made the right decision. I came to see that he was cruel, manipulative, sociopathic, and toxic.

However, I stupidly went on Facebook and saw that he already has a new girlfriend! I’m so pissed that I was replaced so quickly. I do not want him back, but I do want to make him suffer, basically to get revenge for all he put me through. My friend keeps telling me revenge is unhealthy and toxic and forgiveness is good for you and I need to forgive him. Is she right?

— Burned

by amy alkon Revenge looks so Clint Eastwoodcool in the movies — less so when you get arrested for keying “micropenis!!!” into your ex’s car, right under a street cam.

The desire for revenge is basically the urge to punish people who’ve harmed us or those close to us. It’s widely believed to be a poisonous and maladaptive feeling that leads to poisonous and maladaptive behavior — like forays into the dark web to seek out a highly recommended but affordably priced assassin.

In fact, evolutionary psychologist Michael McCullough explains in Beyond Revenge that the revenge motive seems to be “a built-in feature of human nature,” a sort of psychological police force guarding our interests. It was likely vital to the evolution of human cooperation, which in turn led to essential human innovations such as flush toilets, open-heart surgery, and the Dorito.

Research that McCullough cites suggests the revenge motive has three functions: Deterring aspiring aggressors, deterring repeat aggressors, and punishing (and reforming) freeloading moochbags.

The thing is, revenge has a companion motivation, forgiveness, which McCullough describes as “an internal process of getting over your

ill will for an offender.” Interestingly, whether we forgive appears to be context-sensitive, meaning it usually isn’t the particular crime so much as the particular criminal that matters.

McCullough notes that the forgiveness motivation seems to switch on when there’s a valuable relationship at stake — a continuing relationship between the harmer and harm-ee.

In your situation, however, there’s no ongoing relationship to motivate you to forgive the guy. And though forgiveness is correlated with mental

sequences.” On the other hand, he notes that “people who feel coerced to ‘forgive and forget’ may find their post-offence distress exacerbated.”

To decide what’s best for you, consider the reason you give for wanting revenge: because your ex was on to the next woman pronto after you dumped him. Also consider that you now identify him as a pretty terrible person and partner. Of course, the reality is, we all want to be wanted, sometimes even by people we really don’t have any business wanting. But ask yourself something: In light of the sort of person you now see him to be, is it surprising in the least that he immediately latched onto his next victim?

Next, look at your life and calculate how much time and energy you’re investing in thinking dark and nasty thoughts about him. Is keeping the hate fires burning for him benefiting you? Does it feel energizing (that is, rewarding), or does it feel a bit poisonous, psychologically and maybe even physically?

Sure, it’s understandable that you’d long to do something— take some action, even the score — in

Interestingly, whether we forgive appears to be context-sensitive, meaning it usually isn’t the particular crime so much as the particular criminal that matters. health and even physical well-being, the assumption that forgiveness is always the best course of action is a little under-nuanced.

For example, McCullough writes that people with strong social support networks that encourage hostile responses to offenders can end up feeling “justified, comforted, and satisfied (by) their unforgiving stance” and “may not experience any negative emotional or physical con-

response to feeling angry. However, if the reason for your anger is ultimately that you didn’t look too closely at whom you were getting together with, maybe what’s most productive for you now is deciding to let go of the past and working on being better at boyfriend vetting in the future.

This starts with reviewing your last relationship from start to finish. Be intensely honest with yourself about all you overlooked about the guy and how you got used to his escalating levels of abuse as your continual “new normal.”

By focusing on your part in this and how selective you need to be, you can shift into a sense of satisfaction that things will be different for you in the future. You should find this a welcome replacement for the head versus heart loop you’ve probably been stuck in: Your head says, “Move on.” Your heart says, “Sure thing — behind the wheel of heavy machinery when he has nowhere to go but el squasho!” ♦ (c)2019, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

When it came time to write your horoscope, I was feeling unusually lazy. I could barely summon enough energy to draw up the planetary charts.

I said a weak prayer to the astrological muses, pleading, “Please don’t make me work too hard to discover the message that Aries people need to hear; just make the message appear in my mind.”

As if in response, a voice in my head said, “Try bibliomancy.” So I strolled to my bookcase, shut my eyes, pulled out the first book I felt, and went to a random page. Here’s what I saw when I opened my eyes: “The Taoist concept of wu-wei is the notion that our creative active forces are dependent on and nourished by inactivity; and that doing absolutely nothing may be a good way to get something done.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

There’s an old Rosicrucian vow you might have fun trying out: “I pledge to interpret every experience that comes my way as a communication of God with my soul.” If you carry out this intention with relaxed playfulness, every bird song you hear is an emblem of Divine thought; every eavesdropped conversation provides hints of the Creator’s current mood; the shape that spilled milk takes on your tabletop is an intimation of eternity breaking into our timegripped realm. In my years of offering you advice, I have never before suggested you try this exercise because I didn’t think you were receptive. But I do now. (If you’re an atheist, you can replace “God,” “Divine,” and “Creator” with “Life.”)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Below are unheralded gifts possessed by many Geminis but not commonly identified by traditional astrologers: 1. a skill for deprogramming yourself: for unlearning defunct teachings that might otherwise

interfere with your ability to develop your highest potentials; 2. a sixth sense about recognizing artificial motivations, then shedding them; 3. a tendency to attract epiphanies that show you why and how to break taboos that may once have been necessary but aren’t any longer; 4. an ability to avoid becoming overwhelmed and controlled by situations you manage or supervise.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

In 1993, I began writing a book titled The Televisionary Oracle. By 1995, I had generated over 2,000 pages of material that I didn’t like. Although I was driven by a yearning to express insights that had been welling up in me for a long time, nothing about the work felt right. I was stuck. But finally I discovered an approach that broke me free: I started to articulate difficult truths about aspects of my life about which I was embarrassed, puzzled, and ashamed. Then everything fell into place. The process that had been agonizing and fruitless became fluidic and joyful. I recommend that you try this strategy to dissolve any mental blocks you may be suffering from: dive into and explore what makes you feel ashamed, puzzling, or embarrassed. I bet it will lead to triumph and fulfillment, as happened for me.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

I am overjoyed that you’re not competing for easy rewards or comparing yourself to the mediocre crowd. Some people in your sphere may not be overjoyed, though. To those whose sense of self isn’t strong, you may be like an itchy allergen; they may accuse you of showing off or acting puffed up. But freaks like me appreciate creative egotists like you when you treat your personality as a work of art.

In my view, you’re a stirring example of how to be true to one’s smartest passions. Keep up the good work! Continue to have too much fun! I’m guessing

that for now you can get away with doing just about anything you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Let’s enjoy a moment of poignant silence in honor of your expired illusions. They were soulful mirages: full of misplaced idealism and sweet ignorance and innocent misunderstandings. Generous in ways you may not yet realize, they exuded an agitated beauty that aroused both courage and resourcefulness.

Now, as those illusions dissolve, they will begin to serve you anew, turning into fertile compost for your next big production.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

During the next three weeks, I advise you to load up on copious amounts of caffeine from Monday at 8 a.m. until Friday at 6 p.m. Then drastically cut back on the coffee and consume large amounts of alcohol and/or marijuana from 6:01 p.m. on Friday through 6 p.m. on Sunday. This is the ideal recipe for success. JUST KIDDING! I lied. Here’s the truth, Sagittarius: Astrological indicators suggest you would benefit from making the coming weeks be the most undrugged, alcohol-free time ever. Your potential for achieving natural highs will be extraordinary, as will your potential to generate crucial breakthroughs while enjoying those natural highs. Take advantage!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Old rules and traditions about how best to conduct intimate relationship are breaking down. New rules are still incubating. Right now, the details about how people express their needs to give and receive love seem to be riddles for which there are no correct answers. So what do you do? How do you proceed with the necessary blend of confidence and receptivity? Can you figure out flexible strategies for being true both to your need for independence and your need for interdependence? I bring these ruminations to your attention, Libra, just in time for the “Transforming Togetherness” phase of your cycle.

I don’t presume you should or will gleefully embrace the assignment I’ll propose. The task may indeed be too daunting for you to manage right now. If that’s the case, don’t worry. You’ll get another chance in a few months. But if you are indeed ready for a breathtaking challenge, here it is: Be a benevolent force of wild nature; be a tender dispenser of creative destruction; be a bold servant of your soulful dreams—as you demolish outmoded beliefs and structures that have been keeping a crucial part of your vitality shackled and latent.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

It’s time for your once-a-year shout-out to your most audacious possibilities. Ready? Go ahead and say, “Hallelujah! Hosanna! Happiness! Hooray for my brilliant future!” Next, go ahead and say, “I have more than enough power to create my world in the image of my wisest dreams.” Now do a dance of triumph and whisper to yourself, “I’m going to make very sure I always know exactly what my wisest dreams are.”

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

I have cast a feisty love spell that will be triggered in anyone who reads the first line of this horoscope.

And since you have done that, you are now becoming even smarter than you already were about getting the most out of your intimate alliances. You’re primed to experiment with the delights of feeling with your head and thinking with your heart. Soon you’ll be visited by revelations about any unconscious glitches that might be subtly undermining

your togetherness, and you’ll get good ideas about how to correct those glitches. Astrological rhythms will be flowing in your relationships’ favor for the next seven weeks!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

I estimate that about 25 percent of your fear results from your hesitation to love as deeply and openly and bravely as you could. Another 13 percent originates in an inclination to mistake some of your teachers for adversaries, and 21 percent from your reluctance to negotiate with the misunderstood monsters in your closet. But I suspect that fully 37 percent of your fear comes from the free-floating angst that you telepathically absorb from the other 7.69 billion humans on our planet. So what about the remaining four percent? Is that based on real risks and worth paying attention to? Yes! And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make progress in diminishing its hold on you.

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.

Purportedly known as: 2 WEST ELFIN GREEN, PORT HUENEME, CALIFORNIA, 93041 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE GOVERNMENT CENTER HALL OF JUSTICE, 800 SOUTH VICTORIA AVENUE VENTURA, CA 93003 Per the Secretary, the estimated opening bid will be $383,845.91.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier’s

check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $38,884.59. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $38,884.59 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.

All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must otherwise be cured, if applicable. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY

THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS AND THE PROPERTY IS NOT THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE OF AT LEAST ONE SURVIVING BORROWER. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
