Aug/Sept 2017 Message from SCA President Steve Moore, PE, CASp

SCA President Steve Moore, PE, CASp Barrish Pelham & Associates, Inc.

“For a second you were flying Like you always wanted to Now you’ll fly forever In skies of azure blue We’ll see your smile in every ray Of sunshine after rain And hear the echo of your laughter Over all the pain…”

Victoria Bruce There has been a little less sunshine in the SCA skies the last several weeks due to the loss of Cathrin Nevin. Last Friday, during a wonderful Celebration of Life, we said some goodbyes and tried to start the healing process. There were many fantastic and uplifting memories shared about Cathrin, all of which brought a smile to my face and laugh out loud body shakes. Cathrin was a very important part of our association and will be missed so very much. Things are still happening with Cathrin’s family and the SCA is trying to stay updated. Please visit our website for information on how to help. And so, in quiet retrospect the SCA continues “walking on…”

The annual SCA River Cats game was once again a big success for our association! We had more than 50 people show up for an All-American barbeque, baseball game, and post game fireworks.

Although our River Cats lost, the game was still exciting to watch and the group made the best of it. The highlight of my night was when a foul ball was hit up into our section. The fact that it was the closest I had ever been to a foul ball at a professional game was not the good part, the ball was just too far away for me to catch. The best part was definitely Tyler McCurley’s (the son of our esteemed Treasurer Jim McCurley) agility and gymnastic prowess in avoiding the high speed projectile thus exposing his loved ones to potential harm. No one was harmed by the speeding bullet, and yes, Tyler did get some grief from the surrounding crowd. Tyler, looking forward to seeing you next year with a glove!

The Claims Conference of Northern California (CCNC) is the next super huge extravaganza for the SCA and all other claims associations! The three day event is scheduled for September 13 – 15, 2017, at the McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento. For more continued page 4

In Memoriam

Cathrin Nevin

February 7, 1978 - August 6, 2017

It is with tremendous sadness we must report that the SCA has lost one of our dearest and most valued members. Cathrin Nevin (39), a beautiful spirit who brought life to every room into which she stepped, was killed suddenly early Sunday morning, August 6, 2017 in a tragic motorcycle accident. Riding as a passenger on the bike with her friend, Bobby Potts, both perished at the scene shortly after 2:00 a.m.

First and foremost, Cathrin was the loving mother of two daughters. She is survived by Cara (22) and Haylee (17). Funeral services for Ms. Nevin were held Friday, August 11, 2017. A GoFundMe drive, set up by Jeff Cassetta, friend to Cathrin and husband of Cat's BFF, Danell Cassetta, on behalf of her daughters, reached it's target almost immediately. Her girls are, no doubt, in need of emotional support at this time, as well.

The outpouring of the initial shock at the tragic news, and heartfelt love for this beloved woman has lit up social media. Cathrin was well known and deeply loved and appreciated by a broad spectrum of people in her life. Her memory will live on through all our days.

SCA Family Night at The River Cats baseball game July 28, 2017 at Raley Field

A crowd of about 50 from the Sacramento Claims Association gathered loosely at Raley Field for the annual SCA Family Night at The River Cats baseball game. SCA President Steve Moore, and Treasurer, Jim McCurley, stood by will-call with tickets for the group. The event oversold expectations, at 54 total.

The River Cats organization graciously made extra tickets available for the group within the same general seating area.

In all, SCA attendees covered the better part of three sections down the right field line. Board Member and Social Committee Chair, Jason Kettlehut, was pleased with the turnout, which included a bar-be-que buffet before the game, and an extravagant fireworks show afterward.

While the River Cats fell to the Round Rock Express, 7-2, fans were treated to both the return of Giants Pablo Sandoval and Jerrett Parker. It was a fun evening, made evening better with the fireworks display.

Commissioner Jones orders investigation of allegations Wells Fargo and National General Insurance unlawfully signed up consumers for auto insurance SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Commissioner Dave Jones today ordered the California Department of Insurance to open an investigation into recent allegations that Wells Fargo and National General Insurance improperly charged consumers for “force-placed” or “lender-placed” auto insurance for consumers who had auto loans with Wells Fargo.

In a July 27 news release, Wells Fargo admitted the company failed to properly manage the program and announced the company was taking steps to refund and compensate consumers affected by the improperly placed insurance and assisting with correcting those consumers’ credit reports, which were negatively impacted by the force or lender-placed insurance.

“These most recent revelations by Wells Fargo are particularly troubling,” said Commissioner Jones. “The department will investigate fully to determine the extent to which California consumers were affected by improper

placement of force or lender-placed auto insurance and seek corrective action and penalties in the event that California’s consumer protection laws were violated.”

Force-placed or lender-placed insurance refers to insurance a lender requires a borrower to purchase by signing up the borrower for the insurance to cover the vehicle in case the borrower fails to get their own insurance or allows their auto insurance to lapse.

Pursuant to an earlier order from Commissioner Jones, the California Department of Insurance has an investigation underway regarding allegations that Wells Fargo signed consumers up for life insurance without their consent.

Commissioner Jones also directed the department to work with other state insurance regulators who might be opening investigations of Wells Fargo and National General Insurance.

The industry was shaken with news of the sudden death of Cathrin Nevin, a long time adjuster and board member for the Sacramento Claims Association. Killed in a motorcycle accident in the wee-hours of Sunday, August 6th, funeral services were held Friday, Cathrin Nevin August 11th. For more, go to: www.SacramentoClaims.org In happier news, the East Bay Claims Association, on the heals of the success of their 16th annual Golf Tournament in July, decided to forego the normal August luncheon and, instead, held a special Thursday evening Paint Night event August 10, 2017. More than 30 turned out for the 6-9pm event, and walked away with their own original piece of artwork. See page 6, as well as a full gallery, at: www.EastBayClaims.org.

The Sacramento Claims Association hosted their annual SCA Family Night at the River Cats Baseball game at Raley Field July 28th. A strong showing of 50+ turned out to see Panda and the River Cats get shut down by the Round Rock Express, our of Texas.

The evening included a nice BBQ dinner, and a great fireworks display after the game.

The only SCA event in August was a board meeting. The board encourages all members to attend the Claims Conference of N. California Sept 13-15, 2017. For more on the SCA, go to: www.SacramentoClaims.org.

Mid-Valley Claims Association had a tremendous turnout to hear Mr. Don Perkins, founder of Fire Cause Analysis (and specialty wine vintner), as their featured luncheon guest speaker July 28, 2017. Don, along with attorney Ken Turner, shared a wealth of experience in dealing with large loss fire claims.

Beth Ossino, Claims Manager for Golden Bear Insuarnce, and past MVCA President, gave an informative and topical presentation addressing an emerging risk in Marijuana & Insurance at the August 18th luncheon. More at: www.MidValleyClaims.org.

On behalf of everyone here at Association News Network, I want to extend our deepest condolences to everyone who knew Cat Nevin, but especially to her two daughters, Cara and Halee. The world has lost one of our best examples of what it is to be human. Cathrin gave her all to every cause in which she believed, and left the world around her a better place having touched it. She will be missed through all our days. May her passing serve to remind us all to embrace those important to us at every opportunity, and to live this life to the fullest.
