Richard Ocanes receives the pink slip to his donated Nissan Sentra from Gilmore Hero Foundation Executive Director Chris Whitaker. the Gilmore Hero Foundation helped fill a gap in their day-to-day activities — a means of transportation, along with a special gift of bicycles for the children. “This is such an amazing thing that can happen for veterans. We really needed a vehicle to get around, to get to doctors’
appointments and stuff like that,” Ocanes said. “This is going to make things so much easier. It’s unbelievable what they (the Gilmore Hero Foundation) do for veterans.” The mission of the Gilmore Hero Foundation, a nonprofit founded by local Air Force veteran Darrin Gilmore in 2019, is
to financially assist veterans such as Ocanes, as well as active military and first responders in El Dorado County and all across Northern California by donating vehicles or assisting with repairs to existing vehicles. “Being able to n See gilmore, page A9
Residents from across the county are poised to gather Saturday, Nov. 11, at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument at 360 Fair Lane in Placerville to honor those who have served their country both abroad and back home. The ceremony will begin at the symbolically important time of 11 a.m. — the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month being the official beginning of the armistice that marked the close of World War I in 1918. The ceremony will be led by master of ceremonies U.S. Coast Guard Reserve Lt. Commander Peter Wolfe and feature flyovers of restored World War II
airplanes led by local pilot Chuck Wahl and a parade of flags carried by local Scout and veterans groups. “Since the monument first opened, the parade has always been what I’m most proud to see — when the scouts and veterans carry all of those flags,” said Gary Campbell, president of the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance. “The perception is that Veterans Day is only for the older people, but when the young people are involved they get to understand a part of what the veteran culture is all about.” Proclamations in recognition of Veterans Day are be delivered by Placerville Mayor n See Ceremonies, page A11

Gladys “Fay” Buel
Nov. 30, 1941 – Sept. 10, 2023
Gladys “Fay” Buel , 81, a longtime resident of El Dorado County passed away peacefully on September 10, 2023 surrounded by her family. Fay is proceeded in death by her parents, Elmer and Dorothy Turner, and her son Samuel Joseph Turner (1988). Fay is survived by her loving husband, David Buel of 56 years, her daughters Julie Buel (Eric Soetaert) and Wendy Gibson, her grandsons Sam and Max Gibson, her siblings Joe (Bobbie) Turner, Kay Porath and several nieces and nephews. Fay was born in Red Bluff, CA on November 30, 1941 to Elmer “Swede” and Dorothy Turner. She spent most of her childhood growing up in Spring Gap and Tuolumne, CA. Upon graduating from Summerville High School, “Baby” known to family and friends went on to become a cosmetologist followed by a long distant phone operator for Pacific Bell which led her to South Lake Tahoe. Fay married David Buel on November 27, 1966 at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in South Lake Tahoe where they enjoyed the outdoors such as snowmobiling, off-roading and cutting firewood. In 1969 Dave and Fay moved to the western slope of El Dorado County (Fresh Pond, Pacific House). Pollock Pines became their forever home in 1971 where they raised their family. Fay worked for the Pollock Pines School District for 25 years where most of the students knew her as “Misses Cook”. Some folks still remember the famous cinnamon rolls and her kind nature of making sure no child went without a meal. Fay went on to work as an administrative support clerk for the next 20 years for the El Dorado National Forest where she retired in June of 2022. Fay enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Her grandsons were her top priority and she always attended Sam and Max’s sporting events and school functions. She was known for cooking, reading Danielle Steele books, crafting, sewing, attending the Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee, and drinking cold beer. Fay was truly a great woman whose impact will forever be felt by her family that loves her dearly. She was the most loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a selfless woman whose passing has left a hole in the hearts of her family. Her ability to sacrifice, provide, support, forgive and love will forever be ingrained in everyone she knew. No services are scheduled at this time.

Rogene Lousie Prange Nov. 16, 1935 – Oct. 8, 2023
Rogene Louise Prange (Mom / G-MA) sadly passed away peacefully in her home in El Dorado Hills on October 8, 2023. Rogene and her late husband Harry Prange were partners in the Prange’s Fabrics, Crafts, Variety and Shoe stores of Placerville, Cameron Park, North Highlands, Reno, and Fallon Nevada. Rogene was the hands-on owner that managed and taught sewing and crafts in the Placerville and Cameron Park stores and was the backbone of the Prange’s store success. Mom was born in Omaha Nebraska on November 16th, 1935. She moved to Southern California with her parents (Harold and Marion Embury) and two brothers (Rodger and Harold) in the 1940’s. She grew up and went to school in Van Nuys, CA. It was here she met the love of her life Harry Prange. In 1955 they got married and moved to Sacramento, CA. Soon after moving to Sacramento, they decided to become entrepreneurs and make the bold decision to open their first store on 16th street in downtown Sacramento. In late 1957 they had their first son Craig and then moved to Town & Country area of Sacramento where they had two more children Stephen and Laura. In 1967 they bought property and built a beautiful home in Hidden Valley (Granite Bay) where they raised their children and met so many wonderful friends. “We were truly blessed to be raised by such an amazing Mom and Dad in Hidden Valley. The memories and friends we made in Hidden Valley are still with all of us today. Mom was talking about those wonderful days just a few days before she passed.” Rogene and Harry moved from Hidden Valley to Camino, CA in the mid 1980’s. They loved being in the beautiful big pine trees in the Apple Hill area. Mom loved being so close to her store in Placerville. They sold their stores in the late 1980’s and retired. They enjoyed their retirement years together by traveling and using their new RV with friends and family. During her retirement, Mom enjoyed giving her extra time volunteering at Snowline Hospice and helping them with their retail stores. They lived in Camino until 1999. In 1999 Rogene and Harry moved to a beautiful home in El Dorado Hills. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and passed away only 1 year later, April 1, 2000. Rogene met many new friends, continued volunteering her time for Snowline Hospice, and loved being with her family and so close to her grandchildren. She enjoyed her wine club, bunko friends, neighbors, new boyfriends and so much more. Rogene loved to have fun and we all enjoyed having fun with Rogene. To all Friends and Family of Rogene: “We are so grateful for the love and friendship you have provided to our Mom / G-MA. Mom’s loving and fun spirit will be with us forever. Rogene truly loved all of you”. Rogene is survived by her children Stephen (Laura) Prange and Laura (Patrick O’Brien) Willms, her (G-Ma) five grandchildren Airica, Alexander, Brendan, Carson and Alyssa, and her brother Rodger. A memorial wall for comments and pictures is available at https://greenvalleymortuary.com/ obituaries/rogene-louise-prange We ask that in lieu of flowers that you donate generously to Snowline Hospice for Rogene Prange.

Shine Green
County’s veteran business owners may get a break Noel Stack Managing editor
Mountain Democrat photo by Odin Rasco
Lights at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument are shining green this week as part of Operation Green Light, a nationwide initiative to let veterans know they are seen, appreciated and supported. Organized by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, residents and businesses are invited to change one entryway light bulb to a green bulb in a show of support.
The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors made a small but important gesture to the veteran community Tuesday, conceptually approving an ordinance amendment that would waive business licensing fees for veterans when they are a business’ sole proprietor. “This is another way to say thank you to our veterans by giving them that fee waiver,” District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl said. “We need to encourage those businesses.” El Dorado County’s current Business License Ordinance reads: “The following persons are required to obtain the licenses and permits required by this title but are exempt from the payment of any fees therefor: “A. Every veteran of the armed forces of the United States who presents a discharge or release from the service under honorable conditions for the following businesses only: hawking, peddling n See Licensing, page A9

Defending speech for the worst of us protects it for the rest of us
T
he vile ideology of antisemitism and hatred has grown on the political left to the point it has now permeated the House of Representatives. The congressional apologists for Tom McClintock Hamas and its aim to obliterate Israel would destroy all of western civilization if allowed to have their way. Anyone who doubts that need only look at the atrocities and horror Hamas unleashed on the peaceful neighborhoods of Israel on Oct. 7. There are no words strong enough to adequately express contempt and disgust for this ideology and its adherents in the House. It should be denounced and marginalized within Congress and its advocates should be removed from office by the constituencies who sent them here. But punishing members of Congress for their political views — even the most extreme and objectionable views — is a slippery slope we must avoid for our own sakes. There are only two ways to resolve disputes and differences among human beings. There is reason and there is force. The American founders built an empire of reason enshrined in the First Amendment. Freedom of speech, of the press, of religion and of peaceful assembly are the very tools that Americans have used for two-and-a-half centuries to resolve our differences and chart a path to a better future. Speech can be ugly, disgusting, hateful, prejudiced and alarming. But it can never be dangerous to a free society as long as men and women of goodwill have the freedom of speech to dispute it, challenge it and reject it. Suppressing speech — even the most hatefilled speech — doesn’t diminish its influence. It strengthens it. The weakest course a society can take is to forbid the expression of unpopular ideas. The strongest thing we can do is to confront them and defeat them on the merits. If we allow our society to become a society where men and women may not speak their minds, we will have lost the very quality that gives our country its strength. In the 1960s and ’70s the American Civil
Letters to the Editor Standing up EDITOR: cott Taylor’s letter to the editor regarding the antisemitic phone-in callers and the tearing down of Jewish fliers infers that this wouldn’t have happened if the county’s Human Rghts Commission still existed. Let’s look at the facts: the only identifiable caller lived in Fairfield. None of the eight callers are from El Dorado County. The county legal counsel was sitting there and told the supervisors that these callers have not broken any laws and could not be silenced. Does anyone believe that the Human Rights Commission has the authority to go after people outside our county and/or supersede the authority
S
of the county’s legal department? Our country has Democrat congressmen coming out being antisemite and pro-Hamas. Black Lives Matter has come out in support of Hamas, celebrating Hamas’s attack on Israeli civilians. Our colleges and universities are protesting for Hamas and the destruction of Israel. What role would a human rights commission play in this turmoil today? The short answer is we don’t need another government-sponsored taxpayerfunded bureaucracy to put a band aid on a gaping wound so that someone might feel better. This is one of those times where we all need to stand up for what is right and not demand our government do it for us. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

Announcements
Continued from A4
Liberties Union was not the partisan organization it has become today. In those days it was a principled defender of the civil rights of every American. And, in those days, it vigorously defended the right of neo-Nazis who expressed much the same ideology we hear from the apologists for Hamas in our streets and in Congress. The ACLU’s leadership included many prominent Jews and the Holocaust was a fresh and vivid memory. Yet they defended the right of self-proclaimed Nazis to express their abhorrent and hateful ideology. They did so for a simple reason: as long as the rights of the worst among us are protected, the same right is safe for the rest of us. Indeed, it is that very right that protects US from THEM. The United States Capitol, which stands as a symbol of the highest aspirations of mankind, was built for one reason and one reason only. Its sole purpose is to provide a place where we can talk out and resolve our differences by reasoning together. Freedom of speech is the only way that we can sort out truth from falsehood or wisdom from folly. Our democracy depends on it. It doesn’t work perfectly. But it works. It will cease to work the moment we begin punishing speech — and especially what has come to be known as “hate speech.” It is a
very short step from banning “hate speech” to banning speech we hate. It is a course that would ultimately change the nature of Congress as an institution and forfeit the legacy of freedom for which our generation is now the steward. In Robert Bolt’s “A Man for All Seasons,” William Roper vows to “cut down every law in England” to get at the Devil. Sir Thomas More replies, “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ‘round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!” Both parties have a lunatic fringe we must control. But we cannot control it by force, only by reason. We can control it by denouncing it in the strongest possible terms, appealing to the better angels of our nature and isolating and marginalizing it so all people of good will can recognize it for the evil it is and defeat it both at the ballot box and in the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens. Congressman Tom McClintock represents California’s 3rd Congressional District.

transport yourself, get off the streets, get a job, get to doctor appointments. We feel that has the biggest impact on these people’s lives. Everything starts with a vehicle,” Whitaker said. “Our main focus now is acquiring vehicles through private donations and wherever else we can get them.” Whitaker is the executive director of Gilmore Hero Foundation and the recipient of the 2022 El Dorado County Veterans Alliance Service and Support Award. The organization is helping such individuals get the necessary work done to ensure vehicles passes smog, make sure vehicle registrations are complete and provide first-year payments on insurance. So far, the organization has donated a dozen vehicles to veterans after starting the program in 2021. “I want to do a vehicle a month or more,” Whitaker said. “I’d like to have 10 vehicles on hand at any time. There is no lack of veterans in need but what we’re lacking in is the vehicles to give to them.” The vehicles obtained through private donations are made roadready before they are delivered to their new owners, according to Whitaker. The nonprofit has partnered with local auto-related businesses to help realize the goal, including Absolute Auto Glass, High Sierra
Industries, Neimann’s Auto Touch, Vehicle Registration Services Today and Spidell Elite Auto Repair that donate their services pro bono or at a discounted rate. “We’ve had vehicles that needed a small amount of work done and I’ve worked with a lot of local businesses in this area that donate a lot of their free time to help get them registered, get new windshields and get fixed up, anything the car needs,” Whitaker said. Foundation leadership has aspirations to grow their vehicles for veterans program into the biggest one of its kind in California and plans to work with local dealerships to realize the goal. The nonprofit accepts monetary donations through its website at gilmorehero.us and will take donations of auto vehicles, trailers and RVs that only need minor repairs and are “street worthy.” “We are hoping to get the word out to the community to let them know we exist and that there are a lot of veterans out there that are in need,” Whitaker said. The foundation has provided other services for veterans such as home repairs and paying bills and for groceries. “If I have the ability to help someone in the county who I know, then I’ll get it done with all my knowledge,” Whitaker said.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though your morning mood isn’t the best, you’re so excellent at making adjustments that you’ll soon be on the path to winning the day with an attitude trending toward the positive and fixated on squeezing the joy out of moments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ideas are invisible, so their existence is debatable until they are acted on. Once a thing has been built, the idea behind it can be seen. You have theories that deserve to be created, applied and tested. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you said you were caught in a cycle, you wouldn’t be wrong about it. But since seeing yourself as ensnared is not particularly helpful, you’ll instead notice the many advantages of your position, as well as the outs. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You no longer have to be afraid of being more generous than is good for you because you only give what you want to, what you can afford to lose and what feels so right to you that the giving is its own reward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you are openminded, you’ll stick close to your moral center even when those around you veer off. It’s better to make someone mad by doing what’s right than to make them happy by doing what’s wrong. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When it seems like it should be easy to release negative feelings, but it’s not, consider that there may be a course of action to take to reverse or account for the wrong that’s been
done to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re friends with the past, so you welcome its visits. Sometimes it arrives as a memory. Today it comes on legs, in texts, through the mail or other -- a disruption, a delight or a chance to set things right. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pressures take the form of people who want you to do things you don’t feel like doing. The activities may be in your best interest, but at first, compliance still takes effort. Once you dive in, the effort will be its own reward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you give your all to relationships, they change you. Exactly how won’t be obvious until the transformation is complete and you can look back and see the before and after. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You usually make the most of less-than-optimal circumstances, but you also want to make the most of things that are already very good. You’ll do so by maximizing your enjoyment. Sink into the circumstance; take it in like a sponge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Schooling concerns the acceptance of a series of established disciplines. Learning is organic and born of an inner spark of curiosity. You’ll learn what you want and need to, no schooling necessary. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Challenges will happen on their own; you don’t have to seek them. Make things easy on yourself. If you know where you thrive, go there. If you haven’t found it yet, you’re absolutely about to.

Ceremonies
Continued from A1
Michael Saragosa, El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Chair Wendy Thomas and a representative from the state government. Other elements of the ceremony will include a traditional 21-gun salute, the laying of a wreath and a performance by the Ponderosa High School Chamber Choir. “The choir does a really great job. Their demeanor is beyond their years,” Campbell said. “They sing a medley of armed service anthems and we ask veterans from each branch to stand as their song is sung; it’s really quite moving to witness.” United States Navy Lt. James “Jim” Goodspeed, a Coloma resident, will be honored as the 2024 Veteran of the Year in recognition of his career of service to his country and his fellow veterans. Goodspeed began to serve in the military as soon as he could, joining the Navy just months after graduating from Kent Meridian High School as class valedictorian in 1957. Initially stationed aboard a ship at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Goodspeed proved immediately suited for the work, rising quickly through the enlisted ranks as an electronics technician. He was selected to participate in the Navy Scientific Education Program in August 1959 and graduated from Stanford University in 1963 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. In November 1963 Goodspeed was commissioned as an ensign and assigned as repair officer for technical conversion of the USS Basilone in Philadelphia. Over his career, Goodspeed saw a number of deployments, including the Cuban blockade in March 1964, and Vietnam in 1965 and 1968. In 1967 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the Civil Engineer Corps and deployed as officer in charge of construction in Saigon. While deployed, Goodspeed was appointed as resident officer of ports and harbors for Southeast Asia Command, where he commanded 12 harbors and construction sites. By the time he left the Navy in 1969, he had been awarded a Bronze Star with Combat “V,” a Navy Commendation Medal, a Vietnam Commendation Medal, an Engineering “E” ribbon and several citations. Impressive as his career in the Navy was, Goodspeed’s selection as Veteran of the Year also recognizes the work he has done since leaving the armed forces. “The criteria we have for selecting a Veteran of the Year is not just their military service; at least 50% of what we look for is things they have done in
the community,” Campbell explained. “You could be a private first class and still be selected. It’s about underlining that word — service — and how many of our veterans continue to serve after leaving the service.” Moving to El Dorado County in 1981, Goodspeed became a lynchpin member of the veterans community as he took on a long list of responsibilities, including commander and veterans service officer for Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10165. Goodspeed coordinated the annual VFW budget to focus on the core mission of the VFW, providing assistance for disabled and at-need veterans, counseling veterans through the VA claims process, assisting widows and dependents of veterans and more. “El Dorado County has 13,535 veterans; every 12th person you pass on the street is potentially a veteran,” Goodspeed said. “Helping veterans and their families, this kind of thing gets me out of bed and makes my days worthwhile.” Goodspeed’s work for the VFW often comes in the form of providing aid when waiting for VA claims isn’t an option. “When you file a notice of intent, and then a claim, that is a process that can take three to six months to get a decision; there are times when circumstances cannot wait that long, and I go in and I solve it,” Goodspeed explained. “When a veteran’s wife had a tree fall onto her home, she didn’t have the time to wai. I found people who could make a bid for the job, sent them out and had that tree cleared for $1,300. The VFW spends close to $65,000 a year taking care of immediate needs like that. We can do that because this county is absolutely generous; it’s that generosity that is winning this award, not me.” The guest speaker at Saturday’s event will be Dr. Melinda Keenan, the founder and executive director of the Center for Post Traumatic Growth, a nonprofit located in Gold River dedicated to treating veterans, first responders and their families for post traumatic stress and moral injury. Keenan has worked as a licensed psychologist with veterans and first responders since 2001, and with her colleagues has developed a treatment program to address post traumatic stress in combat veterans. The program developed over time, growing from what veterans and their families communicated to Keenan about what they needed to help heal.

At 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. Heather Ann Lomax and her four-piece band arrive in the small town. Lomax has spent the greater part of the past decade putting her own spin on the Americana, country, rock and blues genres. Originally hailing from Kansas City, the now L.A. based artist has opened for Wynonna and The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie and Blood Sweat & Tears. Lomax conjures raw emotion and invokes catharsis. “A friend from Los Angeles called me about this band,” shared club owner Susan Feist. “He’s a professional session bass player and knows his music. ‘These players are good’ was the message.” Saturday, Nov. 11, Lucas Lawson, a singer/ songwriter from Santa Cruz, brings his original music. At a young age, Lucas began attending bluegrass barn dances on the farm, where he first learned to play guitar. With the intention of inspiring positive change, Lawson pays his respects to the land

Plan ahead for East Sac holiday home tour, German yule fest “Christmas, Christmas time is near Time for toys and time for cheer We’ve been good, but we can’t last Hurry Christmas, hurry fast.” K, OK, chipmunks. I know we need to have Thanksgiving first. But truth be told ... I think everyone wishes for that holy season of The Arts “Peace on Earth, and Peace to people of good will.” Traditions bring those hopes into our homes and hearts. For families throughout the region, the first weekend in December always means the start of holiday traditions in the Fabulous Forties neighborhood of East Sacramento. It comes early this year.

excited to support Hands4Hope. They are an amazing nonprofit and Thanksgiving week is a great time to play in California,” said Mackay, a California native and classic rock/country songwriter. “I’m also super stoked to be performing with Jeff; he’s my mentor and one of the most talented artists I’ve ever known,” he continued. “By the way, there is no set list for this event and we don’t script any of the banter — we just go with it!” This fundraiser will support the Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference Education Program at four Folsom schools, including Folsom Middle, Sutter Middle, Folsom High and Vista del Lago High, in addition to its Community Engagement Program serving Mercy Creekview, Folsom’s Hope, Twin Lakes Food Bank and Powerhouse Ministries Inc. The proceeds from this event will be used to help those most vulnerable in the community while teaching youth invaluable life skills of leadership and service. “As we celebrate our 15th year as an organization, we are proud of the impact that youth have made across many areas of need within our community,” said Jennifer Bassett, Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference’s founder and executive director. “As needs in the community have increased, our youthled service learning programs have responded by delivering more donations and supplies to those struggling. This exciting fundraiser event will allow us to deepen our work in Folsom while providing a unique and memorable family entertainment experience.” The show will also feature spotlights on local youth, including students from the Vista Del Lago High School guitar program performing a montage of country music throughout the ages. Additionally, a silent auction available to both attendees and anyone online will offer guitars signed by celebrity musical artists, with all proceeds benefiting Hands4Hope.

Arts program aims to beautify parks throughout state News release SACRAMENTO — California State Parks has announced the launch of a new program, Arts in California Parks, to help make California’s parks more inclusive and welcoming. Through this new program, artists, culture bearers and California Native American tribes will be eligible to receive funding to create artwork throughout state and local parks. The public is invited to chime in on the development of the program through a survey at ArtsinCaliforniaParks.org and to participate as visitors or collaborators. “The Arts in California Parks program will help cultivate curiosity and awe for park visitors through thought-provoking and emotional experiences,” said California State Parks Director Armando Quintero. “The program will lift up and support artists and create connections to culture, the community and the world we live in.” The program represents an exciting collaboration between State Parks, the California Arts Council and Parks California — one of the many efforts under way as part of State Parks’ Reexamining Our Past Initiative. Initiated by a one-time $25 million general fund allocation that extends through 2027, the program will fund projects in both state and local parks that offer perspective on California’s past and present and help promote community connections. “We are proud to launch the Arts in California Parks program with Director Quintero and California

Arts in California Parks projects are under way and more are planned through this new initiative. State Parks,” said California Arts Council Executive Director Jonathan Moscone. “Thanks to the leadership and vision of Gov. Newsom and our state Legislature, California’s arts and creative workforce will have paid opportunities to help transform our state parks and connect the arts and nature.” Artists, culture bearers and California Native American tribes interested in creating public art in California state and/or local parks are encouraged to join the new Arts in California Parks artist directory, a tool designed to help facilitate
the co-creation of project proposals between park entities and creative partners. The directory is a resource that will support relationship building and collaboration by allowing park staff to connect with artists and/or organizations based on location, art medium and more. “We are thrilled to collaborate with California State Parks and the California Arts Council to design and manage this new program. Art brings tremendous cultural and social value to public parks by adding meaning to our spaces and uniqueness to our communities,” said
Kindley Walsh Lawlor, president and CEO of Parks California. “Art in nature has the power to inspire people to feel more connected to place. Through community engagement and supporting local artists and art organizations, this new program is an exciting opportunity for everyone to create lasting memories in parks.” Opportunities for creatives and communities to collaborate with park entities on funded projects will be announced in 2024, under two distinct sub-programs. The Local Park Grant Program, which will fund projects in local parks through a competitive grant program, will launch in 2024 and is anticipated to include three funding cycles. The State Parks sub-program-initiated pilot projects in 2023 and will fund additional projects in State Parks in summer 2024 and summer 2025. More than 20 pilot projects are under way within state parks, including performances, events, and installations. More information on pilot projects is available at ArtsinCaliforniaParks.org. An advisory committee offering diverse geographic, multicultural, interdisciplinary and organizational perspectives is being formed to guide the development and implementation of the program. With guidance from the advisory committee as well as community and artist participation, this program will increase the capacity of California’s parks to nourish, educate and inspire individuals and communities. More information on the program and related opportunities is available online at ArtsinCaliforniaParks.org.

Vacant Land: Directions may be obtained pursuant to a written request submitted to our office within ten days from the first publication of this notice. Please contact: CRAIG S. COCKERELL, TRUSTEE, c/o Mortgage Lender Services, Inc., 7844 Madison Ave., Ste. 145, Fair Oaks, CA 95628 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: VACANT LAND, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667. 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, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $129,609.94 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. 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 caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 132162-11. 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. IF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONTAINS FROM ONE TO FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES, THE FOLLOWING WILL APPLY: NOTICE TO TENANT OR ELIGIBLE BIDDER: 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 (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 132162-11 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Attorney for Petitioner: ANNA JANG, 177 POST STREET, SUITE 600, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94108, Telephone: 415-496-9273 11/10, 11/13, 11/20/23 CNS-3755325# THE MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT 11/10, 11/13, 11/20 12458 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CIRCULATE PETITION Notice is hereby given by persons whose names appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within the El Dorado Hills Community Services District (“EDHCSD”) Promontory Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District #22, El Dorado County, California, to (1) repeal the Special Assessment and (2) refund all levied assessments. The preparation of a ballot title and summary by the County Counsel is hereby requested. A statement of the reasons for the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: REPEAL OF EDHCSD LLAD #22 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND REFUND LEVIED TAXES. EDHCSD has not provided objective, qualitative or compelling evidence that “special benefit over and above” general benefit was conveyed on LLAD #22 property owners. THE PEOPLE OF EDHCSD LLAD #22 DO ORDAIN THE FOLLOWING: Repeal EDHCSD LLAD #22 Special Assessment and Refund levied taxes. IMPLEMENTATION: (a) This measure applies to only property owners subject to Special Assessment LLAD #22 tax; (b) Provisions of this measure shall take effect upon the certification of the election results; (c) no subsequent assessments shall be rendered without approval by vote as prescribed by statute of property owners subject to LLAD #22 Special Assessment; and (d) If any provision of this measure is for any reason held to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. We the undersigned declare under penalty of perjury to be a citizen of El Dorado County, State of California and hereby submit the Notice of Intention to Circulate Petitions to Repeal of EDHCSD LLAD #22 Special Assessment and Refund Levied Assessment Taxes: Robin Valicenti, Richard Valicenti, Steve Gutierrez, Ralph Torres, Larry Young and Concetta Gutierrez (Addresses and signatures are on file with the El Dorado Elections Office Registrar of Voters) OFFICIAL EL DORADO COUNTY TITLE AND SUMMARY AN INITIATIVE MEASURE TO REPEAL AND REFUND THE PROMONTORY LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT #22 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT The Promontory Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District #22 (the “Assessment District”) was formed by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District (“EDHCSD”) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways Code, § 22500 et seq.). Districts such as the Assessment District are authorized to levy assessments subject to compliance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and California Constitution Article XIIID (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). An assessment differs from a tax in that a tax may be imposed without reference to peculiar benefits to particular individuals or property or without regard to whether the person or property subject to the tax received any particular benefit from the tax. An assessment, however, can be imposed only for a “special benefit” conferred on the real property assessed, and
must be in proportion to, and not greater than, the special benefit conferred on the property assessed. Additionally, California Constitution Article XIIIC, Section 3, states, “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, including, but not limited to, Sections 8 and 9 of Article II, the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge.” The EDHCSD levies an annual assessment within the Assessment District for the purpose of providing funding for the installation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements located within the Assessment District. This initiative measure seeks to repeal that assessment and order a refund of any monies collected pursuant to that assessment. It further seeks to require that the EDHCSD obtain approval by vote “as prescribed by law” before levying any subsequent assessments within the Assessment District. 11/10 12463 LIEN SALE AUCTION ADVERTISEMENT Notice is hereby given that Pursuant to the California SelfService Storage Facility Act, (B&P Code 21700 et. seq.), the undersigned will sell at public auction; personal property including but not limited to furniture, clothing, tools, and/or other misc. items Auction to be held at 11:00am On November 24, 2023, at www.selfstorageauction.com.
