A crash involving two large vehicles that overturned on Highway 50 Monday killed a Sacramento man and sparked a grass fire that sent flames racing up the hillside on Bass Lake Grade.

The Expedition and a 1990 Mallard Sprinter Motorhome collided with both vehicles then rolling over. The driver of the motorhome, Clifton Hiler, 54, also a resident of Sacramento, suffered minor injuries as did a passenger of the Ford, Anthony West, 30,

CHP officers continue to investigate what led to the vehicles coming into contact in Highway 50’s westbound lanes just east of the Silva Valley Parkway exit in El Dorado Hills at about 5:37 p.m.

CHP’s collision report notes it is unknown if alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in the crash.

Jumping on the grass fire, firefighters held the blaze to less than 3 acres with boots on the ground as well as aerial resources, according to information from Cal Fire. Containment lines were quickly established and reports that forward

David Neilsen

February 27, 1942 - September 13, 2023

David Neilsen was born in Placerville, CA and he lived and worked in El Dorado County most of his life. He was the middle child of Robert Neilsen and Clara Neilsen who were both descendants of early California pioneer families who settled in the area.

After attending high school, college, and serving in the U.S. Army, he took the opportunity to become involved in working with his father who had a logging operation and eventually a saw mill.

One of their major challenges came when it became illegal for a sawmill to burn its wood waste.

They came up with a plan to turn that waste into a fertilized mulch and all the mills nearby paid them to take away their waste. Then they trucked the mulch to all the nurseries in the area and got paid again. When his father retired, David became the owner and operator of the company.

David, like his father, could run any piece of heavy equipment as well as repair it. When David retired, he so enjoyed running equipment he would offer to come and help friends and neighbors with his little caterpillar just for the joy of it. No, fee was required (well maybe a piece of homemade pie)!

David Neilsen was a past exalted Ruler Elks Lodge 1712 just like his father.

He is survived by his daughter Natalie, grandson Xavior, and younger brother Steve.

A memorial service will be held at Elks Lodge 1712, 3821 Quest Ct, Shingle Springs, October 29 at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Sugar Loaf Foundation or your favorite charity.

Georgetown man on bike hit, altercation reportedly ensues

Jean Ann Furbush

November 26, 1935 - September 15, 2023

Jean Ann Furbush, 87, died peacefully at her home in Placerville, California, on September 15, 2023.

Born November 26, 1935, in Honolulu, the Territory of Hawaii to James and Bertha Durant Huey. Jean spent her childhood and teen years in Kahala on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. She graduated from Punahou High School, Class of 1954. The young graduate then crossed the Pacific to attend Hunter College in San Mateo, California, before returning to the islands for the holidays.

While attending a dance for the Marine Corps stationed on Oahu, she met the love of her life, George F. Furbush Jr. After a whirlwind romance, the two became engaged and were married in May 1956. Jean and George quickly raised their family of four children, Gail Ann (Huston), Mary Lee (Kenyon), Paul James Furbush, Carol Jean (Runner). Over the years the family continued to blossom including 11 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.

In 1990 Jean and George retired to Placerville, California, where they enjoyed many years of volunteer work and memberships in several community-based organizations.

She was preceded in death by George who passed in 2004. Not a day went by that she didn’t miss him and wanted to be with him. On September 15, in her sleep, she peacefully took his hand and left us, just as she always prayed for. Mom was a devoted Wife, Mother, Grandmother and will be missed everyday by her family and friends. A private gathering will be held at a later date.

HOW LONG DO DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST? Considered by many to be the best option for replacing lost or damaged teeth, dental implants can replace one or more teeth, or they can be used as the anchor for a bridge or dentures. Their biggest advantages are durability and longevity, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years; for many people, dental implants will last the rest of their lives.

Their design as an artificial tooth and root system is what makes them last. Each tooth consists of an implant root, an abutment, and a crown.

The titanium implant root is surgically placed in the jaw where it fuses with the bone.

The bonding process takes a few months, but afterward the

implant root can last a lifetime.

Dental implants have been in use since the 1970s, and today these substitutes for missing natural teeth have never been more effective, comfortable, and natural-looking. However, you still need to take care of them as well as your oral hygiene with regular professional checkups and scrupulous home care. Complete dental care for all members of your family is available here at our office, where we utilize only the latest in dental technology for your care and comfort.

P.S. Dental implant crowns are typically made from durable porcelain, which can last for ten to fifteen years.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

California Matters

Did Newsom dig a new hole by appointing Laphonza Butler to the Senate?

D

id Gavin Newsom dig himself out of a political hole Oct. 1 when he announced that he had named veteran labor leader and political operative Laphonza Butler to succeed the late Dianne Feinstein in DAN WALTERS the U.S. Senate?

Or did he dig himself into a new hole by not extracting a promise from Butler that she would not seek a full six-year Senate term next year?

Were she to run for a full term, it would completely change the dynamics of what has been a three-way duel for the Senate seat.

Will Gov. Gavin Congressional Newsom’s selection members Katie Porter, Adam of Laphonza Butler Schiff and Barbara to fill the Senate Lee have been vacancy left by skirmishing for months, following the death of Feinstein’s Dianne Feinstein announcement that be the “interim she would not be seeking another appointment” he term in 2024. promised, or will Two-plus years Butler seek a full ago, after Newsom appointed Alex Senate term?

Padilla, then secretary of state, to fill out the remainder of Kamala Harris’ Senate term after her election as vice president, Newsom came under fire for not appointing another Black woman.

Pressed in a national television interview about whether he would appoint a Black woman to a future Senate vacancy, Newsom replied, “I have multiple names in mind. We have multiple names in mind — and the answer is yes.”

As Feinstein’s health deteriorated, the issue arose again and in early September, appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Newsom said he would honor his pledge but only as an “interim appointment.”

“Yes. Interim appointment,” Newsom told interviewer Chuck Todd. “I don’t want to get involved in the primary. It would be completely

SUMMARY

■ See WALTERS, page A5

Letters to the Editor First Amendment considerations EDITOR: he Board of Supervisors of El Dorado County created the Proclamation of American Christian Heritage Month, ignoring the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...”

It was only due to public outcry and the possibility of litigation that this proclamation was rescinded. No one religion should be singled out to represent all citizens as this only creates divisions.

In consideration of the separation of church and state, should a government body be involved in the religion of their constituents?

The rescinding of the proclamation brought Nazis and their vitriolic hate to the open forum of the Board of Supervisors meeting. The article in the Mountain Democrat, “Supervisors burdened by hate speech,” describes 30 minutes of antisemitic hate. According to this article by Eric Jaramishian, “Supervisor Thomas asked the board if they wanted to direct county counsel to look into creating a board policy on hate speech.”

Supervisor Parlin’s response was, “We usually get through these things ...”

Supervisor Hidahl offered, “I mean, the message is fine, but the derogatory language is hard to take.”

Our board of supervisors should stand up and speak out loudly against hate groups that perpetuate racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and white supremacy.

Although First Amendment Rights should be upheld, and many incidents don’t meet the criteria of a hate crime, attention needs to be paid to responding to and preventing such incidents. A reporting system of hate threats and crimes would allow victims to better report a hate incident.

People would feel safer. Many people who are targets of hate incidents don’t come forward as they feel threatened with reprisal or deportation.

Creating a policy and a prevention plan is in order. It is better to prevent hate in the first place by denouncing acts of hate and holding perpetrators accountable. Anti-bias education, law enforcement training to prevent, respond to and investigate hate crimes and partnerships with communitybased organizations and religious groups to build trust and work together are ideas that should be considered.

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors was quick to disband the Human Rights Commission

T

that served as a symbol and reminder of maintaining values of tolerance and equality, and consideration of the rights of others. Included in the Declaration of Universal Human Rights Article 2 relates to no discrimination. Article 18 cites freedom of thought and religion. Perhaps the supervisors need to rethink rescinding the Human Rights Commission. Perhaps it’s time to bring it back.

Who supports this?

EDITOR: or some time, those of us who served in various branches of the military, both in war and peace, have suffered insulting or even threatening remarks by our former commander in chief. There was the time at Normandy when he said the people buried there were “suckers.” There was the time he referred to John McCain as a loser, not a hero, because he had been captured and he didn’t like people who were captured.

I always chalked these remarks up to someone who felt the weight of guilt for having cowardly ducked wartime service by feigning a “debilitating foot injury.” He certainly was not the only person to have ever lied to evade service during wartime.

However, just when the nation appeared to be able to put this disturbing era in the rearview mirror we are again reminded of the former president’s disdain for our nation’s military people as he asks us to join him in calling for the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs to be sentenced to death. Why? Because he valued loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to his megalomaniac president.

If there is a single past, present or future soldier, sailor, airman or marine who still supports this man for another term as president, I ask him or her to think long and hard about it.

unfair to the Democrats that have worked their tail off. That primary is just a matter of months away. I don’t want to tip the balance of that.”

That statement appeared to declare that his appointee would not run for a full term, and Lee, a Black woman, called it “insulting.”

“I am troubled by the governor’s remarks,” Lee said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “The idea that a Black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless Black women across this country who have carried the Democratic Party to victory election after election.”

The hypothetical became real when Feinstein died 18 days later, and three days after her death Newsom announced his selection of Butler.

Newsom said he chose Butler with “no constraints, no expectations” about her running for a full-term in the 2024 election.”

Were she to run, it would insert a completely new — and powerful — player into the contest, and thus violate Newsom’s assertion just weeks ago that he didn’t want to “tip the balance” of the Senate contest.

win political office, and everything hinges on her intentions.

Even if Butler intends only to serve the remaining 15 months of Feinstein’s term, she must win voter approval next year. In fact, that’s how Feinstein first gained her Senate seat in 1992, defeating Republican John Seymour, whom Gov. Pete Wilson had chosen as his successor in the Senate.

Were Butler to seek a full term, the other Senate hopefuls might be forced to also run against her for the rest of Feinstein’s term, which could be extremely confusing for voters.

California’ top-two system would add even more complexity to a head-spinning scenario. As it stands, it’s likely that two of the three Democrats running for the Senate would finish 1-2 in the March primary and face each other in November.

Were Butler to run, four Democrats would be seeking voter approval and splitting the Democratic vote four ways might allow a Republican to sneak into the November runoff.

Let the fun begin.

of a physical altercation, Council said.

Georgetown business owner Pat McGinnis of McGinnis Lock and Key said he arrived at the scene after the collision and saw a man with his foot on the chest of Aitkens, shouting racial slurs and making violent threats when other pedestrian witnesses verbally commanded the man to step away. “(He) was beating (Aitkens), kept saying the ‘n’ word, saying ‘you screwed my car’ and threatening violence before others intervened,” McGinnis said.

Council noted Aitkens has not told law enforcement officials if a physical altercation occurred.

Law enforcement including El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies and CHP officers subsequently arrived on the scene to investigate the incident, which has sparked outrage on social media in the Divide community.

No arrests were made and the collision is not suspected to be a result of DUI, Council said.

Union Mine running back Julio Hernandez takes the ball into the end zone for his first touchdown of the night Friday versus Galt. Hernandez ran for a touchdown, caught a touchdown as well as converted a 2-point conversion in the Diamondbacks’ 57-0 win over the Warriors.

UM shuts down Galt Isaac Streeter Staff writer A weekend of homecomings and milestones set the tone for football in the foothills, as the five high schools of El Dorado County went a collective 4-1.

The Union Mine Diamondbacks renewed their ownership of the Galt Warriors with a 57-0 homecoming drubbing in the Snake Pit. Three Diamondbacks — Brock Buak III, Jayden Tinker and Julio Hernandez — accounted for two touchdowns apiece en route to the win.

With the victory the Diamondbacks make it 13 straight wins over the Warriors with their last fair loss coming in 2009. Galt did pick up a win in 2016 but was forfeited due to use of an ineligible player that season. Union Mine’s varsity squad hasn’t allowed their Galt counterparts to score a point since 2019, outscoring them 100-0 since.

The Diamondbacks, now 1-1 in Sierra Valley Conference play and 5-2 overall, head back out on the road and turn their sights on the Rosemont Wolverines.

The Wolverines sit at 4-3 overall and 1-1 in the SVC. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Pooley

In their second game of Sierra Foothill League play, the Oak Ridge Trojans took down the Golden Eagles of Del Oro 42-35 on the road. The win was Oak Ridge head coach Casey Taylor’s 200th as a high school football head coach.

The milestone came against his former Del Oro team, which he won six section titles and a state championship with during a 15-year tenure.

Now in his third year at the helm of the Oak Ridge varsity squad, Taylor’s quest for his first title with Oak Ridge rolls on as they improve to 6-1 overall and 1-1 in the SFL. The Trojans’ — ranked third overall in the Sac Joaquin Section by MaxPreps — next game will be their homecoming, as they’ll host the 5-2 (1-1) Granite Bay Grizzlies with kickoff slated for 7 p.m.

The Ponderosa Bruins capped off a three-game home stand with a victorious homecoming, defeating the Oakmont Vikings 21-8. The win ends a two-game skid for the Bruins and was their first win at home this season.

Bruins quarterback Austin Sanchez cemented the win with two rushing touchdowns in the second half.

Ponderosa’s varsity squad now sits at 3-4

on the year and 1-1 in Foothill Valley league play. They’ll head back out on the road for the first time in nearly a month for a date with the 6-1 (2-0) West Park Panthers. The Panthers, who are undefeated in league play, are ranked 21st in the Sac Joaquin Section. Kickoff is slated for 7:15 p.m. Friday.

The Golden Sierra Grizzlies got back in the win column to improve to 2-4 on the year with a 25-0 win over Vacaville Christian.

The lone stat available from the contest was a three-interception performance from Grizzlies linebacker Bruce Rayford.

The Grizzlies stand at 1-1 in the Sierra Delta League and now travel down the hill for a matchup with the 3-4 (2-0) Highlands Scots.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Cougars from El Dorado faltered in another contest to drop them to 1-6 on the year, this time by a score of 53-7 at the hands of 5-2 (2-0) Bradshaw Christian. The Cougars were once again without starting quarterback Sage Pittman as well as running back Tyler Villa, missing his first game of the season.

The lone score of the night for the Cougars came on a kick return n See ROUND UP, page A7

Dozens of the anitsemitic flyers were brought by a resident to the Mountain Democrat office in Placerville.

Placerville streets hit with antisemitic flyers Odin Rasco Staff writer Multiple Placerville neighborhoods saw a sudden flood of flyers with antisemitic messages appear along their roads this week.

Tim Durbin was driving home after an evening in Sacramento Oct. 4 when he discovered the Country Club Drive/Airport Road area was littered with sealed sandwich bags. The bags were weighed down by synthetic mulch and containing flyers bearing various messages of anti-Jewish sentiment. The next morning Durbin rushed to collect as many of the bags as he could find, telling the Mountain Democrat he hoped to remove what he could “before neighborhood kids went to school.”

A number of the bags Durbin collected were turned over to the Mountain Democrat, bearing a range of claims that “every single aspect” of abortion, the LGBTQ+ movement, the Federal Reserve, the Ukraine-Russia war, slave trade, the media, mass immigration and feminism “is Jewish.” Other flyers claimed the Holocaust was propaganda and implied Jewish people were “responsible for the COVID vaccination.” Most of the flyers included bible passages, QR codes, links to a website and a disclaimer that reads “these flyers were distributed randomly without malicious intent.”

The back of the flyers state, “We disavow violence. This is not intimidation. This is a PSA about a JEWISH MAFIA that has hijacked our country!”

The website link printed on the flyers leads to a site called GTV Flyers, which contains printable pdfs for the same flyers that had been picked up by Durbin. The site contains a page including instructions for distributing the flyers — recommending placing the pages in a clear bag and weighing them down to protect them from rain and

wind. Also on the website is a page called “Red Pills” — a reference to the “Matrix” films that has gained common use by fringe radical groups online — that included links to videos including “Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told!”

The GTV Flyers page is an offshoot for a video hosting site called GoyimTV. Goy is a modern Hebrew and Yiddish word meaning a nonJewish person. According to the site’s “about” page, “GoyimTV is about naming the JEW, ‘Goy Power’ and empowering Jew namers ...”

The Placerville Police Department received reports of similar flyers appearing in several Placerville neighborhoods recently, according to PPD Cmdr. Dan Maciel. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has also taken reports of the antisemitic flyers. The flyers do not meet the standard for a hate crime established in California penal code 422.6, PPD Chief Joseph Wren told the Mountain Democrat. The person responsible for the flyers is known to the PPD and is not from the county, Wren stated.

The appearance of the flyers comes just nine days after commenters made antisemitic remarks during the Sept. 26 meeting of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors.

Announcing the board would rescind its proclamation recognizing July as American Christian Heritage Month, multiple callers on Zoom expressed disapproval while making antisemitic statements during public comment.

Board Chair Wendy Thomas commented that the statements made were “just not acceptable.”

The American Christian Heritage Month announcement was met with notable backlash both in and out of the county. The decision made by county supervisors was not the only cause for backlash in 2023. They also received criticism for disbanding the county’s Human Rights Commission and removing the requirement for many board appointees to take implicit bias training.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To avoid being fooled, remember: The image is not always the essence, and the essence may defy the image. To understand the nature of a thing, you must see it in different environments and from a variety of angles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll handle errands, chase down money, hear the needs of others and fulfill them, too, all in the name of duty. Don’t let this be your whole day! There will be time to do what you want if you do it first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Moving forward will be easier than staying where you are. And though you’re a stranger in this realm, headed somewhere new, it is nonetheless a familiar tug that guides you there.

Rushing ahead feels like coming home.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some people actually enjoy public speaking, while others panic over the very idea of it. Today, you’ll enjoy something that others fear, and there’s an opportunity here to relieve someone’s pain, perhaps for a fee.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s such confidence in your approach today that others can’t help but follow your lead. Even so, this is just the beginning for you. Further training will be necessary, and much will depend on the internal fortitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The situation may be stressful, but you’re as cool as James Bond hanging from a helicopter. And if you sense that the situation is beyond your cool threshold, just leave. If you can’t be cordial and reasonable, then be scarce.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Winning can’t happen if you don’t begin, but neither can losing. You’ve a decision to make. Is this idea you’ve been mulling more downside or upside? If you knew you couldn’t win, would the experience of trying still be worthwhile?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re the most important person in someone’s life, and actually, more than a few people hold you in the position. It can feel like a bit of pressure sometimes, but today you’ll deliver your role with ease.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your interest puts you in a club. It’s unofficial and loosely tied, but it’s still a club. Share information and resources. Only the ones in your league appreciate all that goes into being at this level.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve a clear sense of what you need to do, but doing it is another story.

Don’t agonize or personalize your lack of motivation; just move without it. This can all be built from one small habit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you had endless means, you might drop certain duties. But there are things in your life you would do even if you had all the time, money and energy in the world. You’ll now recognize and cherish those activities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can love something and work to improve it at the same time. Arguably, the improvements are part of your love style. Seeing the potential in a thing and dedicating yourself to the discovery process of realizing it is an act of love.

Hands-on fun at Hands and Hoofs Odin Rasco Staff writer

N

ervously at first, a young Girl Scout grips a rope and begins to lead a horse twice her height through a small obstacle course, cheered on by parents, other Girl Scouts and the many volunteers at Hands and Hoofs.

Quinn appears to gain confidence in her stride with every step, gently steering the horse between barrels, a couple 90-degree turns and over some steps before reaching the end of the course set up inside the small circular arena.

Sitting near her mom Brittany Huffman afterward, Quinn is all smiles as she holds up the shiny horseshoe she earned from completing the course.

By the afternoon of the Sept.

9 event, many other kids are holding their own horseshoes, talking about how excited they were and how much they enjoyed the chance to pet and brush the animals in addition to leading them around the arena. The scene is a familiar one that never gets old for Mary Georgis and Julie Schultz, who brought the Hands and Hoofs nonprofit to life three years ago.

Nestled at the end of a steep back road in Pollock Pines, Schultz and Georgis’ 5-acre Painted Sky Serenity Ranch serves as a small escape into nature and home to the nonprofit outdoor day camp that provides kids, usually ages 6-13, a range of activities intended to spark a connection between one another and with nature. Creativity, leadership and respect for the land are core pillars of the Hands and Hoofs experience, emphasized in the range of activities participants will encounter during their day on the ranch.

“Mary and I work at this

“The herd is older, but I didn’t just want to put them out to pasture,” Schultz explained. “They had more to give and this has truly raised their quality of life. I think they’re like Mary and I in that way; we love being of purpose. It has been great to see the ripple effect of community support here.”

The nonprofit currently holds six camp days a year — three in spring and three in fall — all free of charge for participants.

The nonprofit has gained a majority of its attention from word of mouth and the camps see consistently full groups, with participants coming What: Hoofstock from El Dorado County Who: Hands and Hoofs and multiple nearby counties and the Central Where: Davies Family Valley. Schultz and Inn at Shadowridge Georgis hope to expand Ranch, 3700 Fort Jim Road, Placerville in the future, with a plan of covering the When: Sunday, Oct. 15 arena so the kids, horses and donkey all might be Tickets: Buy online at able to do the obstacle handsandhoofs.com course during hotter summer months.

The camps take place over a day, with two groups splitting off to different activities and swapping spots after a lunch break. The day begins with a trip into a large tepee in the backyard; before heading in, the kids participate in a ceremonial cleansing as a Hands and Hoofs volunteer wafts smoke of burning sage around kids and parents.

After a discussion about the day to come, the kids head off into their groups — one will start the day in the arena with the horses and Abbey the donkey and the other will start with a nature walk. The experiences encourage kids to take the lead and explore — both creatively and literally.

“Parents see their kids in another light that they rarely experience,” Schultz explained. “Even though the experience is built around the kids, everyone gains from it.”

The kids at the arena start with time just getting to know the animals, guided by volunteers to help brush and comb their bodies and manes. For some of the youngsters participating, it is their first encounter with an animal other than a dog or cat.

Georgis shared that she often sees kids overcome initial fear of the horses and grow attached to them in the course of the day.

Traipsing along a trail the winds through the trees next to the main house on the ranch, the other group is led to a large fallen tree that has been given new life as a bridge above a seasonal stream. Many of the kids were fearless, hopping onto the log and balancing their way across without holding onto the railing, their parents cautiously walking below.

The nature trail group, led by volunteers Terry Mach and Kamryn Cyras, are given time to enjoy a shaded clearing in the woods near the stream.

Each participant finds a rock to decorate and add to a labyrinth slowly growing with each Hands and Hoofs camp day, contributing their unique artistic expression to a lasting landmark for years to come.

Georgis and Schultz hope to grow the program soon and recently the nonprofit was selected by the Latrobe Foundation for six-month fundraisingmatching of up to $15,000. Looking to maximize the impact of the donation, Hands and Hoofs will host the Hoofstock music festival. Multiple bands will play, food will be provided by the Mikey’s Kilted Kitchen food truck and arts and crafts activities will also be on offer. See info box above for event details.

You may see both cyclamen and pansies now at your local nursery; planting them now, you’ll get the full benefit of their growing season. February brings blooms on the lenten rose, Hellebores spp. This flower comes in a wide variety of colors from deep burgundy, pale pink, white to green. In late February into early March evergreen clematis, Clematis armandii, starts to bud out in lovely pale pink and white profusion, like an apple blossom. This is so welcome in the dead of winter. Blooms must be protected if there’s a hard frost at this time. Primroses, another perennial available in a wide range of colors, are also blooming at this same time.

February wouldn’t be February without the darling purple and white violets popping up, reminding us of love. Do be careful where you place them though as they can be aggressive spreaders.

Sweet smelling daphne will also start blooming in early spring. If you purchase an ever-blooming daphne, it will continue to bloom throughout the summer. However, all parts of daphnes are poisonous, especially the berries.

As spring continues to warm up, forsythia’s bright yellow flowers can be next in the succession of perennial garden blooms. Its sunny appearance can brighten the gloomiest gray day. Spanish lavender, Lavandula stoechas, and beardtongue, Penstemon spp., are early spring bloomers that attract bees to the garden, and we definitely want to encourage bees!

In April and May trees like Western redbud, Cercis occidentalis, and Pacific dogwood, Cornus nuttallii, bloom in pinky purple and white. Summer peonies, Paeonia spp., usher in the lovely month

of June with yet another color palette choice from Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon. Master palest pink to deepest red.

Gardeners will offer tours, answer questions or Gloriosa daisy, Rudbeckia hirta, is the star of the guests can just enjoy the garden. Check the website July garden. Geraniums, Pelargonium spp., also for further information about the Sherwood love the heat and are prolific in June and July.

Relive the thrill of the Gold Rush and learn about pioneer living during Coloma Gold Rush Live! The event takes place Oct. 13-15 at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park.

arshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma announces the return of Coloma Gold Rush Live! The public is invited to experience California’s rich Gold Rush history at this event Oct. 13-15.

Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park is the site of Sutter’s Mill, where, in 1848, James W. Marshall found shining flecks of gold in the tailrace of the mill. This discovery changed the course of California’s and the nation’s history and led to the greatest voluntary mass migration of people in the western hemisphere.

During this three-day event, park staff and volunteers transform the park into an 1850s tent town populated by more than 100 volunteers in period attire portraying characters from the Gold Rush. As visitors wander through town they get a

taste of what life was like in Coloma in 1850.

For those just arriving from the states, a visit to the general store may be in order to stock up on provisions. Before heading out to the mines, check with the general delivery for correspondence from loved ones or to post a letter home announcing your safe arrival in the gold fields. If you’re looking for a place to stay, the boarding house has clean accommodations.

Be sure to visit the mining camp by the river for tips on the latest mining techniques. For those who have been prospecting the hills and ravines, stop by the claims office to register a claim or talk with the assayer to determine the worth of a recent gold strike.

Visit the laundry for a clean shirt and the tonsorial for a shave and a bath before heading over to the saloon for a little liquid refreshment. But, keep your gold dust close as wily gamblers have been known to frequent the saloon.

There are plenty of hands-on activities to keep the kids, young and young at heart, entertained including gold panning, tin punching and a plethora of other games. The Gold Rush BBQ will provide sustenance for those who work up an appetite.

Coloma Gold Rush Live! is made possible thanks to a partnership with the Gold Discovery Park Association, the cooperating association at Marshall Gold Discovery SHP. Proceeds from the event will help fund future educational programs at the park.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 13 & 14, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15.

Admission to the event is $15 per vehicle. Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park is located in Coloma on Highway 49 between Placerville and Auburn. For more information about Coloma Gold Rush Live! call (530) 622-3470 or visit parks. ca.gov/marshallgold. This is a dog-free event except for service dogs.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 112018-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.

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 1-800-280-2832 or visit this internet website, www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 9462-6082. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 855-976-3916, or visit this internet website https:// tracker.auction.com/sb1079/, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 9462-6082 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. 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.

MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on July 29, 2020 as Instrument No. 2020-003810300, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by TIMOTHY C BENETTI, AN UNMARRIED MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for FREEDOM MORTGAGE CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 648 MONTRIDGE WAY, EL DORADO HILLS, CA 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 made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $178,052.98 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000700-23-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website www.Auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000700-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

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.
