County crews on duty in Electra firefight Thomas Frey Staff writer Multiple engine crews and a strike team leader from El Dorado County deployed Monday to help fight the 4,272-acre Electra Fire in Amador County. El Dorado County Fire Protection Chief Tim Cordero sent Engine 328 out of Shingle Springs to Amador shortly after the fire began July 4.

“Initially they had to pull about a 36-hour shift just because the incident was short on getting the resources that they need,” Cordero said.

The Garden Valley Fire Protection District sent Engine 351 and a

strike team trainee. The Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District sent Engine 246 and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department sent Engine 386, OES Support Unit 5264 and a strike team leader.

Each engine has three personnel.

Cordero said crews are typically on 14-day assignments that could turn into a 21-day assignment.

“It’s also dependent on the needs of the incident,” Cordero said. “So they could be down there for three or four days or they could do a full 21 days. It really depends on the needs.”

He said the normal shift is 24 hours on, then 24 hours off. n

Winter shelter housed more Mountain Democrat staff While Housing El Dorado’s nomadic winter lodging program was available last year from Jan. 1-March 31 for a total of 90 days, this year operations expanded due to a rainy and cold April as well as support from the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and the city of Placerville.

The winter shelter, part of the Pathways Project, housed 79 individuals for a total of 1,429 bed nights in 2022, almost double the number of bed nights in the previous winter’s program, according to Housing El Dorado’s board President Maureen Dion-Perry.

El Dorado County provided Housing El Dorado with a $120,000 grant to operate the shelters, monies DionPerry said were wellmanaged to allow the shelter to stay open through an exceptionally chilly April. City of Placerville leaders, who had already offered use of a vacant building at 525 Main St., agreed to let the shelter remain an extra PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

month at the downtown site.

Dion-Perry shared with the Mountain Democrat data on who the shelter served this season: • The average age was 48 years old; 71% of guests were male while 29% were female.

• Over 50% (40) of guests considered themselves disabled.

Veterans comprised 13% (10) of those who used the shelter while 11% (9) were victims of domestic violence and 43% (34) reported needing assistance with health care and prescriptions.

• Most guests (53%) identified Placerville as their primary place of residence. Another 28% identified elsewhere within the county and only 19% identified somewhere out-ofcounty as their primary residence.

• Referrals from law enforcement and the jail, discharges from Marshall Hospital and the county’s Psychiatric Health Facility, discharges from substance abuse treatment programs and youth aging out of foster care.

The 2020-21 winter shelter was housed exclusively at Green Valley Community Church. This was the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic and guest arrangements were according to Public Health Department requirements, noted Dion-Perry. The 2020-21 shelter served 49 clients and provided a total of 761 bed nights.

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Chairwoman Regina Cuellar speaks ahead of the June 28 hearing at the state Capitol on the Feather Act. Similar to Amber or Silver alerts, the Feather Act would take steps to keep indigenous people safe by sending out a statewide alert when they are missing or in danger.

New Feather Alert aims to help indigenous people Thomas Frey Staff writer SACRAMENTO — The California State Senate Public Safety Committee voted 5-0 in favor of Assembly Bill 1314 — the Feather Alert — following a June 28 hearing.

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Chairwoman Regina Cuellar was one of several supporters of the bill that would send an alert out for missing indigenous people similar to Amber and Silver alerts.

“Native Americans account for a disproportionate share of missing and murder cases in America,” Cuellar said at press conference before the hearing at the state Capitol. “It is a sad reality that native communities experience a disproportionate amount of loss but we won’t tolerate losing our people.

“It is a sad reality that native communities experience a disproportionate amount of loss but we won’t tolerate losing our people.”

— Regina Cuellar, Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians chairwoman Feather Alert system can be that voice calling for help when one of us is missing.”

The legislation now moves forward in the approval process.

The Feather Alert would create an advisory system that would send out a statewide alert when a Native American person goes missing or is endangered.

Only 9% of murders of indigenous women in California have ever been solved, according to a report by the Sovereign Bodies Institute.

Cuellar said there isn’t data on the total number of

indigenous people missing.

The bill was written by Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-Highland).

When an alert needs to go out the local tribal government would be able to call their local highway patrol to implement the system.

California has the greatest population of Native Americans in the nation and is among the states with the highest rates of reported cases of missing and murdered indigenous people, according to Ramos.

“My bill, AB 1314, would help us get the word out sooner n

Mary K. Brancheau

Dec. 12, 1942 – June 23, 2022 Mary K. Brancheau, age 79 of Placerville, completed her life journey peacefully on June 23. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert H. and Marion E. Baglin; her son Gary J. Finley and the father of her children James A. Finley Jr. She is survived by her husband John Brancheau of Placerville; sister Elizabeth Stefanich of Fresno, Calif.; daughter Teri Williams (Dean) of Boise, Idaho; granddaughter Sarah Winegeart (Karsten) of Austin, Texas; grandson Brian Williams of Boise, Idaho; nieces and nephews Beth, Tracy, Eric, Michelle and Anthony and numerous friends.

Mary Kay lived most of her life in Placerville.

The Baglin family moved to the area in 1954 to purchase The Quality Shop, a fabric store located on Main Street in downtown Placerville. Mary Kay graduated from El Dorado High School in 1960. She attended Fresno State College and after marrying and starting a family in southern California, the Finley family moved to Placerville in 1972 to assume ownership of The Quality Shop when Mary Kay’s parents retired.

On June 22, 1985 Mary Kay married John Brancheau. The couple recently celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. During their marriage they enjoyed spending time together, with family and with their pets, as well as gardening, pizza night, movies and entertaining.

Mary Kay loved Placerville and was a vibrant member of the community, earning an AA in gerontology from American River College, volunteering for worthy organizations and for teaching classes in modeling, finishing, makeup, color analysis, ballet, manners and senior fitness.

From 1979-81 Mary Kay served as the director for the Maid of El Dorado beauty pageant. Many years later she was honored to be named the 2010 El Dorado Rose, a recognition of women over 60 who are longtime Placerville residents that have dedicated their lives to giving back to the community. At the time she was quoted as saying “The great thing about being a candidate for El Dorado Rose is that it honors the person you have become, not what you aspire to be.” To her family, friends and acquaintances she was an inspirational, positive, loving and giving person who made us all better for having known her.

How truly grateful I am to have a Mother who makes saying goodbye so hard. Rest easy in God’s loving arms. I love you my sweet Mother. -Teri The family will announce a celebration of life at a later date.

Milton “Milt” Van Duyn July 1939 – May 2022

Milt passed away with his loved ones by his side at his home in Placerville. He was preceded in death by both of his parents and his older brother. He’s survived by his wife Barbara of 46 years, brother, son, daughter in law, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Milt was born and lived a short time in San Francisco before the family moved to San Mateo. At an early age he had a dream of being a restaurant owner. In preparation for this plan, he worked as a milk man in San Francisco and then a linesman with the Army for two years. At 26 he partnered up and opened The Red Rooster Restaurant in Walnut Creek. He loved business opportunities so during and after his restaurant experience, he flipped houses, built an apartment complex, built a country home, developed land and dabbled in other investments. He had a work ethic like no other and this was only exceeded by his love for and dedication to his family.

Milt never met a stranger. He knew how to strike up conversations with people and have them in tears laughing over his life experiences by the time he was done talking to them.

In younger years he was an avid bird hunter with his family and friends. After relocating from Pleasant Hill to Placerville in the 1970s he settled into fishing, camping and gardening as his main hobbies but always was tinkering with something.

Milt was the patriarch of the family and a lot of things to a lot of people over his 82-year love-filled life. As a child he was called “Brovy” because his younger brother couldn’t pronounce “brother.” This name stuck with him and was used through an entire generation of family members. That was his first one but other names followed — Mill “T”, Opa, Gramps and my personal favorite, Dad. He will forever live in the hearts of many and never be forgotten.

Claude L. Dunn

Jan. 29, 1938 – June 28, 2022

Claude Lawrence Dunn died peacefully with loved ones by his side, on June 28. He was 84.

Claude was born Jan. 29, 1938 in Cary, Ill., though treasured most his years in Wisconsin, especially on Goose Lake where he learned to love fishing and family, poems and puns. He served in the U.S. Navy, specializing in electronics and serving as First Radio Man on a P5M Seaplane, based in Japan, patrolling the Pacific Ocean. From the Navy he moved to Alaska’s Cape Newenham as communications field engineer, then on to California to marry, start a family and found his business — NDT-West. But Japan wasn’t quite finished with him, so he went back, this time as a consultant with General Electric doing nuclear reactor inspections.

After moving to Diamond Springs and then El Dorado (and opening Books ‘N Bears), he was increasingly called upon for his lay preaching, eventually becoming the ordained pastor at El Dorado Community Church (Congregational), where he served for 21 years. He stood by his conviction that reading scripture aloud, sticking to the Word of God in his sermons and loving his neighbors would fill the pews. He sang in the choir and played Santa Claus each year in community Christmas celebrations.

While building his business and then the Church, he also took time to play — with one of his favorite ways to relax being on a houseboat at Lake Shasta with good friends and family members. He passed on his love of lakes to each of his children, teaching them to fish, swim, love music and cherish each other.

Upon retiring, Claude married Joyce Amlick and they spent time boating on Lake Shasta and Clear Lake, as well as in Gilbert and White Mountain Lake, Ariz. Always up for a challenge, Claude and Joy moved to Arroyo Grande, Calif., in the middle of the pandemic.

Claude is survived by his wife Joyce; children Kathleen Dunn of Redding, Deborah Dunn (and son-in-law Keith Yeager) of Santa Barbara, Matthew Dunn of Sacramento and sister Judy Freyder of Fresno. He was preceded by his son Michael. Claude will be remembered by friends and family as a strong man of faith, an eloquent preacher and a loving father and husband.

A memorial service will be held at the El Dorado Community Church, 4701 Church St., El Dorado, Saturday, July 16 at 10:30 a.m.

Wally Richardson

Oct. 19, 1923 – May 21, 2022

Wally Richardson (98 years young) passed away peacefully Saturday, May 21, with his wife Jenny of 64 years by his side.

Together they raised four children Linda Gargiulo (Dave), Deborah Campbell (Brian), Stan Richardson (Sandy) and Susan Lehner (T.C.) Wally is also survived by his twin sister Virginia Dollarhyde and five grandchildren; Jennifer Gargiulo, Sean Campbell (Kylie), Carlee Kensiski (Trevor), Dani Campbell and Connor Lehner (Corie). Wally was able to meet and hold his new great-grandson, Keegan Campbell, shortly before his passing.

Wally had a passion for flying from an early age. At 17 years old, he convinced his mother to sign for him so he could join the Navy. He was part of the first convoy to Pearl Harbor after the bombing, working as a radio operator and used his free time to earn flight hours. During the Korean War, Wally was a Corsair pilot flying off the destroyer, the USS Boxer. When he passed Wally was one of the last two survivors of his squadron. After the war, Wally went on to fly with United Airlines for 30 years, a dream come true.

Along with flying, he worked in real estate and syndicated several partnerships, served in the Naval Reserves and retired as a Lt. Commander.

Another passion of Wally’s was the forming of the love and kindness movement with Jenny.

He loved sharing his thoughts and wisdom with the kids, encouraging them to “always be kind whenever possible ... and it’s always possible!”

Wally’s face would light up when he saw the students. As he and Jenny passed out pens and bookmarks, Wally would share his Wallyisms, hoping to send a ripple of kindness into the world.

Wally will be remembered for his infectious smile, love of jokes, great work ethic, perseverance of his dreams and his ability to never meet a stranger. His memory will be cherished by his family and community far and wide.

Celebration of life will be held at Hills Church, 800 White Rock Road, El Dorado Hills Saturday, July 16 at 10 a.m. All are welcome.

LeRoy Lawrence Peters

July 16, 1932 – June 16, 2022

LeRoy Lawrence Peters, age 89, passed away Thursday, June 16 and will be laid to rest at Westwood Hills Memorial Park in Placerville, Calif.

A celebration of life service and reception will be held at 2 p.m., July 17 at El Dorado Federated Church, 1031 Thompson Way, Placerville.

LeRoy was born in the country near the small Minnesota town of Jeffers. His life was extraordinary for all the ways he embraced the ordinary. With hard work, faith and adventure, he built a family, business and strong sense of community. His Dutch German parents, Gerhard and Hattie Peters, raised LeRoy, the oldest of 32 first cousins and his younger sister Deloris, on farms surrounded by caring aunts and uncles.

Attending a one room schoolhouse through eighth grade, and graduating from Jeffers High School, LeRoy, at 17, met the love of his life, Arlene Marie Roberts.

LeRoy enlisted in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict and married Arlene in 1953 while stationed at Travis Air Force Base where their first child, Douglas, was born in 1954. After the service, LeRoy’s studies took them from Berkeley to Modesto and then Fresno where he completed a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and their daughter, Susan, was born in 1958.

The Peters family moved to Stockton, Reno and Livermore as LeRoy began his career before settling in Sacramento’s Arden Park in 1964. In 1969 LeRoy launched Peters Engineering which continues to this day. As empty-nesters, LeRoy and Arlene began their next adventure in 1978 on 163 rolling acres they called Deerhaven Ranch. Federated Church became a cornerstone where they left their mark while traveling extensively across the globe as well as the U.S. often with close friends.

In 1992 LeRoy and Arlene moved to a 10-acre estate in nearby Camino. Whether Deerhaven or the “Camino House,” their home was a gathering place.

From Thanksgivings with bonfires to tractor rides for the grandkids, life was good even with Arlene’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s four years later. LeRoy cared for her himself for many years before moving to a historical house in town and Arlene’s passing in 2006, led to even more community service and devotion to family and friends. He was known for his larger-than-life presence, cruising down Main Street in his electric car, an ice-chest trunk and his faithful dog, Loafer, at his side.

In 2015 LeRoy enjoyed his final chapter in a Placerville retirement community with his characteristic contagious and caring spirit. In 2019 he developed multiple myeloma, successfully achieving remission just last fall, until exactly one month before his 90th birthday LeRoy died of COVID-19 pneumonia. He is survived by his son Douglas Peters and wife Holly; daughter Susan Wendleton and husband Dave; sister Deloris Mann and husband Gerry; nieces, nephews, cousins, nine grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren with a 12th on the way!

LeRoy was but one man in the world, but he was everything to us. He filled a room, filled our hearts and was a living example of what it means to extend yourself for another. Life is good, he’d say, when we are willing to see the good, because it is always there.

Nancy E. Dreves

Sept. 25, 1945 – June 22, 2022

Nancy Dreves, 76, went peacefully to be with our Lord June 22 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

She is preceded in death by her parents Carl and Doris Dreves.

She is survived by her brother Carl Dreves (Marty) and sister Ginny Cruz (Larry); nephews Jay Dreves (Yukiko), Brett Dreves (Olivia) and Darin Dreves (Junrong); numerous great nieces and nephews; and her teaching buddies and many friends.

Nancy was a teacher in the Buckeye Union School District and retired in 2008 after 20 years of teaching. She traveled all over the United States and the world, visiting England, France, Spain and Morocco. She had a very adventurous life and loved her ballet classes.

Nancy was a kind, happy and generous person and we loved her dearly. She is now in heaven with her relatives, friends and beloved cats. A gift in her name can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or any cat rescue or shelter of your choice. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.

Paine, assistant program manager. There were around 40 staff and volunteers. It operated at five locations — Green Valley Community Church, Foothills United Methodist Church, Faith Episcopal Church, Discovery Hills Church and the vacant city of Placerville building.

Partners included El Dorado County Health and Human Services, Food Bank of El Dorado County, Job’s Shelters of the Sierras, the El Dorado Interfaith Collaboration, Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless and Marshall Medical Center.

Specific COVID19 screening and immunization protocols were developed for both seasons with input from the county Public Health, according to Dion-Perry.

COVID-19 immunization was required for all guests and immunization clinics were offered at the Upper Room in conjunction with Public Health. Dion-Perry noted no cases of COVID-19 were reported during both seasons of the winter lodging program.

“Most people on Main Street were not aware that there was a nighttime homeless shelter operating in downtown Placerville,” Dion-Perry states in an email to the Mountain Democrat. “This shows that housing for homeless folks need not disrupt the neighborhood and cause problems.”

The Pathways Project shelter program was developed in fall of 2020 by a team of volunteers with experience in developing and operating winter housing programs. The program was designed to serve

homeless individuals with not only a roof over their heads but meals, case management and navigation services.

Since the shelter season ended Housing El Dorado has been

What Causes It?

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate.

Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs.

Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

1

Increase Blow flow

2

Stimulate small fiber nerves

3

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Message from EID

Celebrating hard work and long-term planning

I

want to focus a moment on gratitude and celebration — gratitude for the hard work that has seen emergency projects as well as large planned projects come online and gratitude for the safety of the workers who undertake these projects JIM ABERCROMBIE with determination and excellence.

I am thinking of efforts like the emergency reconstruction of four sections in the El Dorado Irrigation District’s canal and flume system. I am thinking also of the completion of the Folsom Lake intake project. Lastly, there is the piping of 3 miles of the unlined, earthen Upper Main Ditch from Forebay Reservoir in Pollock Pines to our water treatment plant there that serves virtually all our customers as water flows into Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills after serving communities to the east. These are large, impactful projects.

I also celebrate that each of these large projects came in under budget. This is no small feat and a testament to project managers and every worker who applied their expertise to get these jobs done.

Utilities like EID are extremely capital intensive and water flows down (and sometimes up!) the beautiful terrain we live in; there is more than a $1 billion worth of largely unseen pipelines, canals, treatment plants, pump stations, storage tanks and other facilities that enable our customers’ taps to turn on and flow the excellent water our community relies on. Bringing large projects to completion under budget and with an unceasing commitment to excellence is something I am deeply grateful for.

EID has been undergoing intensive reconstruction efforts to repair the flumes destroyed last August in the Caldor Fire. Those long workdays and weeks have paid off with water once again flowing through the El Dorado Canal as of early May. I cannot emphasize enough how important it was to repair those sections of flume. The flumes are part of a 22-mile-long canal and flume system that diverts water from the South Fork of the American River to be treated and delivered to customers’ taps.

Up to a third of EID’s entire water supply travels through that system. The flumes also deliver water through EID’s federally licensed hydroelectric system to generate electricity that EID sells to Pioneer Community Energy and which is used to power many homes and businesses.

The Folsom Lake intake, now online, replaced original components of that facility constructed over a half century ago and could no longer reliably meet the needs of the growing El Dorado Hills community.

The Folsom Lake intake supplies raw water from Folsom Lake to the El Dorado Hills Water Treatment ■

Letters to the Editor Boeger 50th anniversary EDITOR: ats off to the Boeger family celebrating their winery’s 50th anniversary. Greg and Sue Boeger came to El Dorado County 50 years ago looking for a place to grow grapes and open a winery. They brought their knowledge of wines from Napa County and the University of California, Davis to restart the El Dorado County wine industry at the old Nichilini Family Vineyard.

They are responsible for reviving the El Dorado County wine grape industry from 11 acres to what it is today — more than 60 wineries in the county.

Greg and Sue worked together as a team planting a vineyard, building a winery and marketing the wines. The Boeger Winery helped raise the recognition of El Dorado County and Sierra foothills wines and has received state and worldwide recognition.

Greg has been a member of the Agricultural Commission for more than 30 years, protecting our agricultural choice soils from development. He has also been generous with his knowledge, sharing it with other growers and helping them to develop their vineyards and wineries as well as having had Boeger’s wines poured at the White House twice.

Greg and Sue also planted a lovely family, Justin and Lexi, who are taking over the Boeger legacy, working in the business along with their parents.

El Dorado County’s agricultural industry, rural aspect and our quality of life would not be the same without the Boeger family.

Oh, they make a great glass of wine.

Emergency housing declaration EDITOR:

W

hat did it do? The declaration by the Board of Supervisors temporarily set aside the El Dorado County General Plan and any other laws that protect the people of El Dorado County regarding homeless property development. It provided $2.5 million of state funding for acquiring property for homeless occupation.

Because of Martin vs Boise, if the government is

closing homeless camps it must provide shelter for those it moves. Some laws seem to preclude forcing the homeless in the new housing to be clean and sober. Basically they can use everywhere but inside the housing. The “no harm” initiatives provide all the drug paraphernalia that a user needs so that we can make staying addicted “safe.”

The presentation made to the Board of Supervisors by the spokesperson of the Health and Human Services made a couple of statements that don’t ring true and I will paraphrase, “If the homeless were to have to move to housing next to the jail they would not be comfortable.” I just attended a Human Rights Commission meeting where four homeless people spoke and everyone of them wanted to feel safe.

Supervisor George Turnboo suggested small shelters be erected to protect the homeless appearing to support the sheriff ’s initiative to create a homeless village next to the county jail. It appears the supervisors overlooked how the homeless felt about having a safe place next to the jail to avoid being raped or molested or beat upon by criminals.

The HHS spokesperson also left out the fact that HHS presently has about $10 million in its mental health budget that may or may not be available to provide funding for this project and the county would not have had to give up its present rights under the law. This information should have been included in the HHS presentation so that the BOS could be aware that they would be bypassing this funding and giving up our rights.

A reason given for accepting the state’s offer was to protect the forest (Placerville) from fire caused by the homeless encampments along Broadway and a few other places. This was all suppose to happen before the “fire season.”

Folks, there has got to be a better way to deal with this problem and there is a book, “Hope Disappearing” by Sherman Haggerty, that gives a real plan to mitigate the homeless problem and at the same time help the homeless become clean and sober and get reintroduced to society as viable participants. Let’s stop the right-wing/left-wing slights and begin to solve this problem in El Dorado County.

The Not So Weekly Daley

A ‘what if’ story and an empire in the making

M

illions of Americans are fans of “alternative facts.” And that being the case, I thought I’d give a few of them a dabble of “alternative history.” I’m calling it “What if Trump had won Jan. 6?”

Let’s say Trump did CHRIS join the rioters and led them in to the Capitol building. The Capitol Police didn’t try to block him or prevent him and the mob because, well, he’s the president.

As the cop on that beat, do you mace the president or swipe your baton across his knees and force him back from the Capitol’s doors? Of course not.

You graciously and submissively step aside and let him pass along with all of his attendants who, meanwhile, have been whacking you and your fellow officers with flag poles, golf clubs, hockey sticks, fire extinguishers and a few shots of bear spray.

Once inside, the president heads for the chamber where Mike Pence was supposed to be doing the final ceremonial official tally of each state’s

electoral votes. His supporters are already in rampage mode and Trump joins them in a full-throated rendition of “Hang Mike Pence.”

“What the hell,” he snorts. “The f***ing little weasel has it coming. Now where’s Pelosi?”

Pence is caught trying DALEY to escape with Karen and the Pence daughters.

The rioters savor this unimaginable “get” and start knotting a few ropes.

Not one for Pelosi though. She’ll get extra special treatment in a wild “mob coddle” when they bag her.

Trump surveys the productive mayhem and orders his hench-folk to start the hunt for Schumer, Cheney, Kinzinger, AOC, Romney, McConnell and sundry other members of their anti-Trump subspecies. Now that he’s still going to be president indefinitely, he begins to savor the new reality of his life. And that starts with payback.

Oh yeah!

Show trials. Just the thing to bring the country together once again under his rightful authority. Ginny Thomas suggested early on that trials should

be held on prison boats offshore Guantanamo. Primetime TV can’t miss.

On the world stage, Trump exits NATO and signs a wide-ranging treaty with Vladimir Putin ensuring that Ukraine and Eastern Europe rightfully belong to Russia in perpetuity. In return, Trump gets to build hotels across the length and width of Eurasia, Central and Russian East Asia and becomes a 2% shareholder of all extractable natural resources on-ground and underground within the borders of the newly minted Soviet Union/Russian Empire.

China is next, but there are multiple domestic issues to be addressed. First, Joe Biden and family must be found.

Kamala Harris and family are reported to have fled to Portugal so there’s some jurisdictional and extradition matters to be resolved.

Rumors abound and Biden sightings range from Canada to Patagonia to Finland to South Africa to India and all parts in between.

The show trials can’t continue with only “spoon vittles,” as Mark Twain might have described the lower hanging fruit. They have to promise the biggest dangles will in fact take place eventually. Waiting on that

palette, “Crooked Hillary,” Bill Barr, Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey are currently out of pocket; that is, not yet “in the wind.”

Trump will never again trust his destiny to some weak-ass underling like Mike Pence — RIP. Succession and legacy will be directed by Trump himself. Don Jr. is likely to be next in line for the future presidency/crown.

Ivanka has some work to do on getting back in daddy’s good graces, but she could be competitive soon.

Having experienced actual governing his first time around, Trump will eschew that tedium in favor of golfing and hanging out with cheeseburgers and other billionaires. Plenty of toadies and lackeys and their ilk are always around populating federal agencies and keeping the US of A clanking along just like it has for the last 250 years. No worries.

And four years from now or eight years from now, there will be another ”peaceful transfer” of power from Donald to Junior or Ivanka or Barron, maybe Melania or someone we don’t even know about yet. Can you hardly wait?

when an individual is missing or endangered by asking the public for tips and leads as quickly as possible when quick action is critical,” Ramos told members of the Public Safety Committee.

During a May 4 hearing of the Select Committee on Native American Affairs legislators were urged by tribal leaders to take action to provide more immediate support when suspected acts of violence occur against California’s Native Americans.

Ramos — the first California Native American elected to the state Legislature — then authored the Feather Alert bill.

“Thank you to Assemblymember Ramos for answering that call and introducing this bill to finally take action,” Cuellar said. “It is well past time for our state to confront the invisible epidemic gripping indigenous peoples.”

Other tribal leaders who made the trip to the Capitol to support the Feather Alert legislation included Joe James of the Yurok Tribal Council out of the Klamath area, Lewis Whipple of the Round Valley Indian Tribes Tribal Council in Mendocino County and Janet K. Bill of the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians in Madera County.

Independence Day races electrify the speedway

n SPEED BUMP by Dave Coverly

A capacity crowd was treated to a solid night of racing and a spectacular fireworks display at Placerville Speedway on Independence Day. Justin Sanders of Aromas finished the night by racing to his fifth victory in as many winged 360 sprint car starts at the track.

Diamond Springs’ Dan Jinkerson pocketed an entertaining limited late model feature, while Foresthill’s Ryan Robinson captured a thrilling pure stock win. All three divisions presented the large crowd with an excellent evening of grassroots dirt track racing.

The 25-lap winged sprint car main event began with Easton driver Michael Pombo leading the opening lap before Justin Sanders was able to slip to his inside for the top spot shortly after. All eyes were glued to Chase Johnson however, who ran the ragged edge of the quarter-mile in exciting fashion. The Penngrove driver rocketed up to second and began to challenge the leader until he got over the edge in turn one to draw a caution.

As is the norm with Sanders up front it made things difficult for the rest of the field, although he did feel pressure on a few different restarts from both Pombo and Lincoln’s Blake Carrick. He did not let that shake him however and drove away to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his 21st career winged 360 triumph at the track. Carrick crossed the stripe in second to cap a strong weekend that also saw him win at Marysville on Friday.

Pombo earned his first career Placerville Speedway podium in third, Isaiah Vasquez matched his best-ever finish at the track in fourth and Gauge Garcia completed the top five to also bring home a careerbest on the red clay. Andy Forsberg, Ryan Robinson, Jodie Robinson, Jimmy Trulli and Shane Hopkins rounded out the top 10. A total of 28 winged sprint cars competed on Independence Day. The limited late models put on show during the Freedom Fireworks spectacular. A well-groomed racing surface allowed for two- and threewide action at times.

For now, enthusiasm is more important than getting things absolutely right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success can be scary. If you do well, you’ll be in unknown territory. Grapple with that realization by remembering how often you’ve faced the unknown and not only managed it, but eventually learned to own it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Momentum wins, so don’t let fine details hang you up. Neither should you worry about who is going to approve or how your work is measuring up. You don’t have to get it all perfect, just good enough to move forward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It feels good to solve people’s problems and to experience their relief. You’ll underpromise and overdeliver, a surefire success formula. Though you don’t expect your generosity to be repaid, it will be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll spend a lucky hour focusing exclusively on what needs to happen to reach your goal. A good plan saves time. More awareness allows you to do things with less effort. Caution: so-called free things can be costly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll take measures to counteract artificiality. You’ll resist those who would have you purchase what you don’t need. Revisit the rituals that remind you of your values and connect you to who you are and where you come from.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to shine in a certain someone’s eyes, though your success does not hinge on the opinion of one person. Even when you get the approval you want, keep building your core of fans; group support will be best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knowing a lot never made anyone wise. You’re very experienced in a certain realm so it’s harder for you to look at things with a beginner’s mind, and yet you do this to fantastic effect today, elevating your work to a new level.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While it’s natural to want to avoid

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being around people can give you energy or drain you of it, depending on your mood. Today’s small doses of mostly delightful social interaction represent the ideal scenario, as just a little fellowship can go a long way.

can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I heard you say “I love you mama”. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been gone, you will always be remembered. You are on my mind every minute of everyday. You showed me what unconditional love is. You loved me “no matter what” and stuck by me through the hardest times. You were wise beyond your years, an old soul. I couldn’t have asked for a better son. Kind, loving, sensitive, humble, a good listener. Thank you for choosing me to be your mom.

You are loved and missed by so many, you will never be forgotten. I speak your name every chance I get. I know you are still with me. I feel your presence.

I know this is what you’d say if you could: “And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling And I didn’t feel a thing, So don’t feel no pain Just smile back And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling And I didn’t feel a thing, So don’t feel no pain Just smile back…”. (Eminem) They say the greater the love, the deeper the grief.

Bobby, you are always on my mind and forever in my heart.

I love you past the moon Boo. Wishing you a Happy Heavenly Birthday from all of us.

Four divisions to race Saturday Gary Thomas Staff writer The Thunder in the Foothills championship season returns to Placerville Speedway this Saturday.

The El Dorado County Fairgrounds venue is fresh off a successful Fourth of July show and this Saturday is expected to bring another full pit area of race cars. Divisions converging on the red clay for Red Hawk Casino Night will be the winged sprint cars, the pure stocks, the mini trucks and the traveling Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints.

Going into this Saturday the million-dollar question everyone will be asking is certainly, “Can anybody stop the red-hot Justin Sanders?” The Aromas driver claimed his fifth Placerville Speedway winged 360 sprint car

consistency, having finished among the top five at each event so far. Young Michael Murphy, Ryan Murphy, Kevin Jinkerson and reigning Rookie of the Year Jonny Walsh complete the top five in the standings.

With three rounds complete Mike Miller leads the way in the mini trucks but is only eight points up on Austin Struthers and Thomas Jensen. Rounding out the card on Saturday will be the BCRA Lightning Sprints, which make their third appearance of 2022. The first two events have been picked off by San Diego’s AJ Bender and Waterford’s Dakota Albright, respectively.

The pit gate will open at noon, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, qualifying and racing will follow.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. It reportedly first sparked in the Vox Beach area of the North Fork of the Mokelumne River, where about 100 people were recreating and celebrating the Independence Day holiday. Those folks had to shelter in a nearby PG&E powerhouse before they were able to safely evacuate.

The Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit reported the fire at 75 acres around 4:40 p.m. July 4.

The fire grew to 300 acres by 6:40 p.m. and hit 959 acres less than an hour later as many were evacuated.

win of the year on Monday and returns this weekend looking for another. Thus far in 2022, Sanders is five for five when it comes to his winged 360 starts at the bullring.

Auburn’s Andy Forsberg continues to lead the winged sprint car standings and even added some additional points to it following the Fourth of July event. The 46-year-old goes into Saturday with an 18-digit advantage over Foresthill’s Jodie Robinson. The 19-year-old had an excellent rebound in the feature on Monday to charge her way from 17th to eighth. Bubba Decaires, Shane Hopkins and Michael Ing round out the top five in points.

Defending Placerville Speedway champion Nick Baldwin brings the pure stock point lead into Saturday. The Oakley racer continues to be a mark of

seemed to be gaining an edge on the blaze with 5% containment and a slowed spread of another 900 acres.

On Wednesday morning Cal Fire reported no additional growth and containment had doubled. As the day progressed some roads that had been closed opened up while certain evacuation orders were downgraded to evacuation warnings.

As of press time Thursday, the fire is 40% contained as firefighters continue strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots.

Full containment is expected July 18, according to the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit incident report.

front but it was not easy for the defending track champ. A bevy of drivers fought it out behind him with one of the best moves turned in by Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. Brown found the high, scary side to his liking and blasted around the thick cushion, all the while dealing with several challengers, including Ray Trimble, Matt Michelli, Jay Norton and others. He closed up and kept the leader honest but Jinkerson hit his marks and took home his fourth victory of the season in five races. Brown crossed the stripe in second, with Trimble third, Michelli fourth and Norton fifth. Eighteen limited late models signed into the pit area for what fell under the Xtreme Series sanction.

The pure stocks ended up contesting a 15-lap feature due to time but in that span they absolutely brought the house down with an outstanding main event. Like the late models, two and three wide racing was prevalent all race long with the pure stocks.

Early on it was Jason Armstrong who looked to snag his first victory of the season as he led the hungry pack of drivers.

Sprint car competitor Ryan Robinson made his second career pure stock start and thrilled the crowd, producing several bold passes after starting from the fifth row.

He eventually found himself up front but then had to deal with severe front-suspension damage over the closing circuits.

Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson tried everything to get by the wounded car of Robinson but the 21-year-old wheeled the machine for all it was worth.

Jinkerson gave it one final shot in the last corner but Robinson beat him out by less than half a car length for an exhilarating first

career pure stock win.

Wayne Trimble ended up finishing third, with Nick Baldwin battling back to run fourth and Clarence

Holbrook rounded out the top-five. Sixteen pure stocks competed during the Fourth of July extravaganza.

InflatIon Is Here, now wHat are we GoInG to Do about It? Is inflation out of control? Will the economy fall apart?

I hear many people are asking these questions.

The US inflation rate has been skyrocketing and currently is over 7%. (May CPI was 8.5 with core CPI 6) And that’s just what the government measures, real inflation is probably higher.

The last time the US had inflation rates this high was in the early 1980s. Many economists have demonstrated that a high inflation rate is a key indicator of an economic downturn.

This is because consumer consumption is the engine that drives our economy.

Inflation is when prices for everything go up. This means that people buy less stuff. *Consumer Price Index Annual Inflation Data Interest rates have been steadily declining since 1982 and inflation has followed suit. Few US investors are old enough to have experienced this.

Currently, the federal reserve bank plans to continue raising the overnight lending interest rate and has stopped the purchasing of bonds program. Their overall plan is to slow the economy without creating a recession.

Their record for having a “soft landing” after economic tightening is not good.

This is why the future of our economy is something to be concerned about.

A few reasons inflation is happening: • Covid-related supply chain slowdowns • Plain old market cyclicality • Oil production policies • Government spending • Russian aggression No matter the cause, the question remains…

Your WealthGuard Advisors Team L to R, Jamie, Blake, Angela, Adam, Jillian

What To Do About Inflation?

Inflation creates a real challenge. Keeping money in cash or cash-related investments just erodes purchasing power.

Keeping money in something that has the potential for appreciation is ideal, but investing in things other than cash-related investments carries additional risk.

Some investment options to defend ourselves from inflation: • Stocks • Corporate Bonds • Government Inflation Bonds • Cryptocurrencies • Precious Metals • Commodities • Real Estate The solution is likely a combination of many different things to help overcome the effects of inflation and to manage or spread out the related risk.

Investment Portfolios Designed To Reduce Risk & Combat Inflation WealthGuard Advisors have been working hard to help our clients mitigate the risks of inflation and continually assess

the above list of investments.

Here is one of our strategies: Our heritage portfolio is a combination of 10% S&P 500 Options, and 90% U.S. Treasury Bills. With a $100,000 minimum starting investment, this portfolio allows for potentially better than fixed income returns with a minimal amount of risk.

We manage our accounts in a fee-only brokerage account to avoid lock-up periods, surrender charges, and front-end sales loads. This allows for flexibility or liquidity if plans change.

Options contracts are inherently risky but can provide attractive returns. For the target of 90% in U.S. Treasury Bills, we select several maturity dates with our bills, and most of them are short-term to reduce the risk

of value reduction if interest rates continue to climb.

What Does It All Come Down To? The time to prepare for inflation is now, and WealthGuard Advisors has the experience to help you build a plan to position your investments for the future.

The Shingle Springs Community Center hosts an authentic rock ‘n’ roll experience Jamie Faw Shingle Springs Community Center

E

verybody is welcome to the Shingle Springs Community Center for a unique Second Saturday Summer Concert featuring Todd Morgan & the Emblems.

This BYOB-potluck event begins at 7 p.m.

Todd Morgan & the Emblems are, in a way, what the vast majority of popular bands once were — an authentic rock ‘n’ roll experience and an act that performs both original material as well as other artists’ songs.

With an emphasis on exciting, up tempo and danceable music, the songs range from the first decade and a half of rock ‘n’ roll — extremely well-known favorites like “Hound Dog,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “A Hard Day’s Night” or “Satisfaction” — to the slightly more obscure, but still highly influential numbers.

Whether seated in front of the bandstand or out on the dance floor, there’s always something in a Todd Morgan & the Emblems show for everyone who digs good music with a beat.

With multiple albums under his belt, Todd Morgan, the band’s leader, vocalist, guitarist and award-winning songwriter, is what many have described as “a natural born showman” with an exciting stage persona and performance style that’s engaging but never gets in the way of the music itself. His strongest influences, either as a vocalist, a guitarist, a writer, a performer or all the

See Todd Morgan & The Emblems rock the house at the Shingle Springs Community Center Saturday, July 9. above, include Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison, James Brown, T-Bone Walker, Cab Calloway, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Louis Armstrong, Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Sam Cooke, Chet Atkins, Little Richard, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Gene Krupa, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, B.B. King, The Golden Gate Jubilee Gospel Quartet and many others. Morgan covers these artists with classic style.

Chris Bell, the band’s bassist and backup vocalist, has a strong background in soul and funk music and brings to the

table a very energetic stage persona himself, along with a tasteful, authentic approach to his instrument’s role in the music. His influences include James Jamerson, Willie Dixon, Duck Dunn, Paul McCartney and Larry Graham.

Drummer Andrew Philip is about as pure and discerning as it gets when it comes to his approach to his instrument.

His influences include Joe Morello, Chick Webb, Buddy Rich, Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer.

If you’re looking for a an authentic rock ‘n’ roll experience, Todd Morgan &

The Emblems is an infectious one. People of all ages are drawn to this band’s energetic live performances. Join the fun at Saturday night’s concert.

Second Saturday Concerts are $10 at the door. All donations and proceeds go directly to the musicians first and then in support of the community center, 4440 S. Shingle Road, Shingle Springs.

Queen tribute promises to ‘rock’ the audience Kilt & Cork News release

P

lacerville Queen fans are in for a real treat as The Kings of Queen bring the most authentic tribute to Queen in the world to the Saureel Summer Night stage Saturday.

Freddie Mercury undoubtedly possessed one of the most powerful, versatile and emotionally connected voices in rock history. Since his passing, few vocalists have been able to parallel his multi-faceted strengths as a vocalist and a performer.

To celebrate the magical sound that Queen brought to the world, The Kings of Queen was formed by veteran vocalist and frontman Emo Alaeddin. His ability to command his voice and the crowd, along with the undeniable talent of his three bandmates — Matthew Garbacz, Ted Morton and Lance Turner, makes The Kings of Queen the perfect tribute for hardcore Queen fans.

Based in Orange County, the fierce foursome are fully equipped to bring such iconic Queen anthems to life such as “We Are the Champions,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “We Will Rock You,” “Radio Gaga,” “Somebody to Love,” “You’re My Best Friend” and “This Thing Called Love.”

But what truly sets The Kings of Queen apart from the other incredible Queen tribute bands in the market is that these musicians are the only ones who take on “Bohemian Rhapsody” with all the vocal parts performed live.

Photo by Jon C. Haverstick

Emo Alaeddin and his bandmates offer the ultimate Queen experience. See the band at Saureel Vineyards.

Opening for The Kings of Queen is the dynamic solo performer Dustin Heer, who hails from Lodi and brings an incredible vocal range allowing him to cover singers such as Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Don

Henley, Adele and Justin Timberlake. His energy is infectious and his music gets people on the dance floor.

The Sacramento Shakespeare Festival, which is produced by City Theatre at Sacramento City College, strives to provide top-quality Shakespeare performances and training to the Sacramento community, utilizing the resources, teachers and students of the SCC Theatre Department and utilizing the most experienced and professional artists in the Sacramento area. The festival does this by producing full-length plays, shorter versions of Shakespeare’s plays in various locations throughout the Sacramento area, traveling scenes and workshops to classes, community centers and an on-site high school internship program when appropriate.

The plays “Did my heart love till now?”

Two young people meet by chance and fall instantly in love. But their families are bitter enemies and in order to be together the two lovers must be prepared to risk everything. Set in a city torn apart by feuds, “Romeo and Juliet” is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred and tragedy.

This production is directed by Lori Ann DeLappe-Grondin.

“Another As You Like It Reunion” is an original work based on Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy, “As You Like It.” The cast of this play, still alive after 400 years, moves into an abandoned Shakespeare theater for an evening of takeout and debate. This production is presented in the style of “original practices” — a process incorporating Shakespeare’s original methods of rehearsal and performance, including direct address to the audience, minimal rehearsal and the use of scrolls for the actors. This process has become very popular as we experiment with ways to make Shakespeare more accessible to more people.

This production is directed by Christine Nicholson.

“Romeo and Juliet” opens Friday, July 8, and performs at 7:30 p.m. on July 8-9, 14-16, 21-23. “Another As You Like It Reunion” opens on July 10, and performs at 2 p.m. July 10, 17, 24 with an additional performance at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 13. All performances will be held in the auditorium of the Performing Arts Center on the campus of Sacramento City College at 3835 Freeport Blvd. Tickets may be purchased online or in person one hour before the performance begins. All details and tickets are available at sacramentoshakespeare.net.

A CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION RECORDED FEBRUARY 25, 2003 AS INSTRUMENT NO. 20030018767, OFFICIAL RECORDS. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5102 NAWAL DR, EL DORADO HILLS, CALIFORNIA 95762 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,131,253.36 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 074485-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 074485-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.

ENDOWMENT PROGRAM

Provides for your pet for the rest of their life, should anything happen to you. Make arrangements with Fat Kitty City to care for your cats after you are no longer able to do so.

LEGACY PROGRAM
