Marshall working through omicron outbreak Thomas Frey Staff writer El Dorado County has seen its COVID-19 cases jump from about 17,000 to more than 20,000 since Dec. 20, 2021, due to the omicron variant. With that Marshall Hospital has seen a rise in hospitalizations and ICU intakes, according to Marshall officials. That’s more COVID cases in three weeks than there were between Oct. 7 and Dec. 19. The good news is that people aren’t getting quite as sick, according to Marshall
Foundation Medical Director Dr. Pete Barba “The issue is that you have three, four or five times as many people getting it,” Barba said. “Even though (patients) are getting less sick, it’s still severely straining the healthcare system. We are seeing a huge, huge strain on our staff.” Barba said Marshall employees didn’t let the Caldor Fire or the winter storm that knocked out power for more than 27,000 PG&E customers in El Dorado County stop them from coming to work.
“Even though (patients) are getting less sick, it’s still severely straining the healthcare system.” — Dr. Pete Barba, Marshall Foundation Medical Director What’s keeping them out of work is that a lot of them are getting COVID-19, according to Barba. “Even our staff who are vaccinated, doing everything possible to not get COVID, they’re still getting COVID themselves. The staffing shortage is the worst we’ve ever seen,” he said. Through it all, “I think our staff has been incredibly resilient,” Barba added. “Our hospital has quite a
large number of beds. When you don’t have enough staff to support those beds, it limits our capacity to care for our community.” Marshall CEO Siri Nelson shared similar sentiments. “The fact we have amazingly dedicated staff that wants to do the right thing every day, that shows up to take care of patients and help support each other, makes me super proud to be a part of this amazing
organization,” Nelson said. The CEO said she thinks COVID-19 is here for good. “It’s not going to go away, the genie’s already out of the bottle,” Nelson said. “I think we need to work on how we’re going to live with it. There’s probably going to be new variants. One of the blessings in the last year has been the vaccine and how that’s n

Hotel going in at Town Center Sel Richard Staff writer Touted as a hip, lively hotel for the nextgeneration traveler, construction for the new Aloft by Marriott in Town Center is imminent. “We’re ready to break ground this month,” said Sam Devdhara, partner of the hotel’s management company Core Hotels, LLC. “The rain has been a cause of delay.” Building and grading permits were issued by the county in October 2021. Located between the Mercedes-Benz dealership and Regal El Dorado Hills Cinemas, the modern, tech-savvy hotel offers voice-activated rooms and urban inspired design in a 68,000-squarefoot building. Guests will enjoy innovative programming such as the ability to use their smart phones as room keys. The $26 million, four-story project houses 115 units, an exercise room, meeting space, an outdoor pool and a lobby lounge boasting a full bar with light bar food. “It’s a very happening brand throughout the U.S.,” described Devdhara. There are currently 176 Aloft hotels in more than 25 countries and n

New laws take Complex sports complications effect in 2022 Eric Jaramishian Staff writer
Mountain Democrat staff Among new laws that took effect Jan. 1 are protections for workers and measures to increase the state’s supply of affordable housing and expand voter access. Here are some of the new California laws of 2022: Senate Bill 3 takes the minimum wage
up to $15 an hour for businesses with more than 25 employees. Smaller businesses must pay no less than $14. Assembly Bill 37 makes permanent the measure implemented last year to send a voteby-mail ballot to every active registered voter. Senate Bill 389 allows restaurants, bars, breweries and wineries that sell food to continue offering to-go alcoholic beverages with food orders. Assembly Bill 286 prohibits food-delivery apps such as DoorDash and Uber Eats from taking a portion of a tip intended for restaurant workers. The legislation also requires companies to itemize customers’ receipts and disclose all added fees. Senate Bill 1383 requires Californians to toss excess food waste into green waste bins rather than the trash. The state aims n

Questions remain to be answered regarding environmental impact and funding opportunities for a proposed sports complex for the Diamond Springs/El Dorado area in El Dorado County. The county received a gift of approximately 29.8 acres of land at 3447 Clemenger Drive off Highway 49 and adjacent to Charles F. Brown Elementary School and Union Mine High School. The property donation came from healthcare nonprofit Marshall Foundation for Community Health. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted to accept the donation, 4-1, during its meeting Jan. 4, but not without deliberation on risks and complexities the project currently faces. After District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas introduced the agenda item, District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl kicked off the discussion, voicing concern over funding sources. The county applied for round 4 of Proposition 68 grants in early 2021, which create funding for state and local parks. In November 2021 supervisors gave direction to staff to submit
another application for Prop. 68, due Jan. 20, in case the state denied the county’s initial application. The county was notified in December 2021 that it failed to grab the round 4 Prop 68 grants. “We always have to be cautious because plan B of how you would fund this, if Prop. 68 funds do not come in, is still
“When an opportunity comes before you, you do not often have all the details flushed out.” — Wendy Thomas, District 3 supervisor a big question mark to me,” Hidahl said. “I don’t know how we would ever find money in the General Fund to pull for this kind of project; albeit it’s worthwhile and needs to be done, but given all our other priorities, I don’t know how we would fund it short of Prop. 68.” County Parks Manager Vickie Sanders said there are other funding opportunities she could pursue and, if needed, the park will be built incrementally
“one ball field at a time” as the county has done in the past with Henningsen Lotus Park in Coloma and Pioneer Park in Somerset. Once the property is acquired, the county will be in a better position to acquire Prop. 68 grants, Thomas said. Hidahl asked if it is possible to seek a bond measure through the county so local residents would be participants in developing the park, which would require voter approval. Another hiccup to the plan involves a lack of a California Environmental Quality Act report to determine possible environmental effects of the complex, leading to concerns from supervisors about water drainage issues in downtown El Dorado, vegetation concerns on the property and potential vandalism and loitering of homeless people. Even some who spoke during the meeting’s public comment noted that the county was “putting the cart before the horse” by not analyzing the property fully first. The county would hire an environmental consultant to identify any problems with the property that might change n

the design of the project, said Sanders. The water drainage issue in El Dorado, which some say started with the construction of Union Mine, was one of District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo’s biggest concerns. “I remember 2 feet of water going though there. We still have a problem there. I remember water got in my fuel tanks and that was a pain to deal with,” Turnboo said. “If we do not address this problem with the drainage, it’s going to just create more of a problem in El Dorado, especially as it concerns the people there.” Former District 3 Supervisor Brain Veerkamp, who served his tenure during the sport complex’s early planning stages, stated during the meeting that a worn out water culvert in downtown El Dorado is the reason for the runoff troubles. He said the culvert is seeping and not able to drain water correctly but the sports complex’s project site is upstream of Union Mine and the proposed turf fields would absorb water. Veerkamp also stated that while it has been some time, the county was examining the property by hiring contractors and determining site potential. The nearly 30-acre property comes with overgrown vegetation. “My understanding is that we already have complaints on this piece of property about the vegetation management and if the county takes ownership of
it then we are going to have to find funding, which we do not have allocated,” Board Chair/ District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin said. Despite this, Sanders said she has not heard of any vegetation issues and recommended a volunteer project where community members could get involved should the need arise to remove vegetation. While no specifics were discussed, oak trees on the property could potentially hinder development, according to the project’s June 24, 2021, draft fiscal analysis. Removal of these oaks is estimated to cost $662,800. Addressing concerns about the homeless, Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton said county Facilities Management staff has had issues with the homeless at an old rail park near the property. “If it is public property and homeless come there, we cannot remove them and that’s a risk you need to consider,” Ashton said. Despite risks and concerns, Thomas voiced her opinions with optimism. “When an opportunity comes before you, you do not often have all the details flushed out,” she began. “There aren’t guarantees but we have to weigh if the opportunities outweigh the risks and I think in this case they clearly do.” Thomas said in addition to Marshall Foundation’s donation, the Boys and Girls Club of El Dorado County Western Slope is donating a significant amount
of money to build a gymnasium on the site and will run future programs at the sports complex. The county is also looking into using another 9.72-acres of land for the complex, which lies just north of the 29.87-acre portion. That portion is owned by the Mother Lode Union School District, which is collaborating with the county on the project, Thomas said. “These community partners have a proven track record of getting things done, so I am not over concerned about that,” Thomas said. “This is not going to be a vacant piece of land forever.” Parlin was the sole no vote. “I’m just worried about taking the property so early and perhaps creating some problems for the county,” Parlin said. According to the draft fiscal analysis, the cost to build the sports complex is approximately $6.8 million, which includes construction management, permitting, site preparation, utilities and all facility installations. The analysis also estimates annual operating cost for the complex at $480,740. Preliminary plans for the site include four ball fields, four soccer fields, an ecological area, a Frisbee golf course, a picnic area, a snack shack, restrooms, a playground and parking areas. Should the county fail to construct a park within five years the property will be transferred back to the Marshall Foundation. There are currently no parks in the Diamond Springs area.

CRT stands for critical race theory, which argues that every American institution John Stossel upholds white supremacy. Before Youngkin’s surprise victory, the media mocked him for complaining about CRT. NBC’s Nicolle Wallace said it isn’t even taught in public schools. “That is like us banning the ghosts!” she laughed. She is wrong.

That’s “propaganda that’s claiming our children.” “Claiming the children?” I push back. “That’s exaggeration.” She pulled out some of the children’s books that are now part of the curriculum at some schools. “Woke Baby” teaches kids to be “a good revolutionary.” “A Is for Activist” reads like a union recruiting manual. “M is for ‘Megaphones Marching.’ ...

Letters to the Editor Kicking the can down the road EDITOR: he El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has kicked the can down the road again. On a 3-2 vote, the board opted not to pursue the purchase of the Best Western in Pollock Pines, which would have given us our first Project Homekey site. Community opposition from people in Pollock Pines and Cameron Park seems to be the reason behind the board’s change of heart. This project would have provided the first permanent site for transitional/interim housing on the Western Slope (there are sites in South Lake Tahoe), would have brought in funding from the state and already had Volunteers of America lined up to run the facility. While I agree that Pollock Pines was not the perfect location, other locations had already been looked at and rejected. This could have been the first step in creating programs to help alleviate homelessness in our county. Another winter will have passed and it’s back to the drawing board. Shame on us. As for the “Concerned Citizens of Cameron Park” who submitted a large number of obviously copy/pasted letters without a shred of originality behind any of them, I suggest that you work on an issue that actually impacts Cameron Park, such as the large number of traffic incidents that occur due to excess speed on Cameron Park Drive and Cambridge Road.

Diamond Springs could become history lost EDITOR: rom Office of Historic Preservation of the State of California: NO. 486 El Dorado (originally Mud Springs) — El Dorado, “The Gilded One,” was first known as Mud Springs from the boggy quagmire the cattle and horses made of a nearby watering place. Originally an important camp on the old Carson Emigrant Trail, by 1849-50 it had become the center of a mining district and the crossroads for freight and stage lines. At the height of the rush

its large gold production supported a population of several thousand. Location: N side of intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Church Street, El Dorado NO. 487 Diamond Springs — This town, settled in 1848, derived its name from its crystal-clear springs. Among the richest spots in this vicinity, its diggings produced a 25-pound nugget, one of the largest ever found in El Dorado County. Its most thriving period was in 1851 and, through its lumber, lime production and agriculture, Diamond Springs has retained some of its early importance. Location: NW corner of Highway 49 at China Garden Road, Diamond Springs So, where are these crystal-clear springs of county history? Were they the water problem under the new section of the “Yellow Brick Road” aka the Diamond Springs Parkway Phase 1A. If they were there, then why were they not protected as Historical Landmark No. 487? That’s right, to hell with history when there’s money to be made. According to the reference shown above — Location: NW corner of Highway 49 at China Garden Road, Diamond Springs. Why is this important? Because the approval of the Dorado Oaks subdivision will destroy what is left of them. They may have already been affected by the Diamond Springs Fire Department building next to the graveyard that will also come under the blade of a dozer to construct a roundabout at the intersection of China Garden Road and Highway 49. This roundabout will also affect the two-story, red-brick Carpenter House by its removal. What this roundabout saves is money — about $2.2 million for the developer by not installing a signal. The Diamond Springs El Dorado Advisory Committee’s purpose is to review projects for design, safety and, I would presume, preserve the history of communities. I have not heard anything from this committee on this subdivision or the other two under construction. Now the question is up to us and other communities as to where we draw the line.

Dusting off Dr. King’s great, inspiring message
W
e celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the third Monday of January — this year, Jan. 17. On Aug. 28, 1963, King delivered one of the great speeches in American history, Star popularly known as the “I Have a Dream” speech. It is a speech that must be dusted off and studied anew today, because it contains the very message that our nation sorely needs to hear and digest now. A message that has been tragically lost and buried and replaced with great and destructive distortions. Two things jump out when reading through that speech. One is how this Black preacher captured in his words that day the heart and soul of America. Second, how King’s great message that day stands in total contrast to the rhetoric peddled by today’s progressives as the remedy to our racial strife. The indictment of the woke movement is that America is the
problem. King offered up America as the solution. He talked about the “magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.” “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its Parker creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” The problem, as King explained, is not America or the eternal truths that were brought to bear in its founding. The problem was the failure of the nation to live up to the challenges of its great founding principles. This was the heart of King’s message that day. He appealed to the nation to realize the dream of its founding fathers. Not to crush it and bury it, as we hear today. The problem is not white people. “The marvelous new militancy ... must not lead us to a distrust of all white people,” he said. And, of course, the most memorable and oft-quoted line of the speech, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation

The problem, as King explained, is not America or the eternal truths that were brought to bear in its founding. The problem was the failure of the nation to live up to the challenges of its great founding principles. where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” What has happened instead? Where has this great message of King gotten lost? In the name of racial justice, our race campaigns today are defined by selection and placement based on race, based on the color of skin, and not based on the content of character, as King implored the nation to do. King’s speech is divided into three parts. Part one is an appeal to the nation to live up to its great founding principles. Part two is an appeal to Black Americans to rise up and act accordingly in the noble cause of the pursuit of liberty and justice. Let’s not drink “from the cup of bitterness.” Part three is an appeal to the ideals of the Christian soul of the nation. He quoted the prophet Isaiah, “the crooked places will be made straight ... and the glory of the Lord shall
be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.” Biblical truths and ideals have been sadly lost to wokeism, which has for all practical purposes become a religion in itself. Let’s honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. now, as we come out of COVID19 and enter 2022, by revisiting and taking to heart the great truths he spoke on that summer day in Washington, D.C., 1963. Great truths that have very sadly been cast to the side and replaced with the religion of politics and power. Let us honor King by seeing America as he presented it then, as embodying the ideals of a free nation under God. And then we can join hands and sing, as King appealed, “the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.” Star Parker is president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education and host of the weekly television show “Cure America with Star Parker.”

to get a book that said ‘blackness is a bad deal?’ ... Shame is used as a lever of control over people. It should not be done with children.” “America has a history of racism,” I say. “We have to confront it,” she says. “But America does not have a monopoly on racism. I come from a nation of people of ‘color’ and they are racist.” India, her home country, had a nasty caste system for thousands of years. Slavery began in the Middle East. It thrived in Africa long before slaves were brought to America. Americans (along with Brits, the French and Mexicans) actually helped end the practice. But today American students think America invented slavery. This is “state-sponsored indoctrination,” says Nomani. “It is a bigotry that they are teaching. ... It’s just so immoral. I am a brown Muslim woman, an immigrant in America. I know more freedoms in this country than I could in any Muslim country in the world.” “But they’re not in a Muslim country,” I point out. “They’re in America and there is still racism here.” “But to suggest that this is all of America is as racist and bigoted ... as being racist and bigoted against people of color,” she responds. People need to care about this, says Nomani, “because it’s the taxpayers that are funding this.”
Some conservatives want to ban the teaching of CRT. That’s not a good idea. Government shouldn’t be banning ideas or taking choices away from teachers. Bans shield students from important topics. A better solution is legalizing school choice. Let parents take our tax money to a school we choose.

Protect what is left of our unique history. Allow slow, sensible growth that conforms to “good common sense.” We live in a beautiful and unique place slowly being trashed. There is plenty of room down the hill for this endeavor. BRIAN DeBERRY Placerville

Gelong Dorjee Tsering, left, and Gelong Tanzin Tharpa, right, of Gaden Shartse Norling Monastery, above, use colored sand to create a mandala representing the Tibetan deity Dukar whose umbrella shields negative energies and emotions and offers healing from natural catastrophes. Dukar was selected as a special offering and prayer for the community in response to the devastation suffered from the Caldor Fire. On Sunday visitors were able to watch Gelong Dorjee Tsering, right photo, work on the intricate sand mandala. He is one of five monks sharing their art and culture with the community this month. To symbolize impermanence and nonattachments, the monks will ritually bless the mandala and then sweep it away in a special ceremony Jan. 14 at 5:30 p.m. at 7533 Green Valley Road in Placerville. That will conclude the monks’ two-week Sacred Arts Tour of Placerville. Photos by Laurie Edwards

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you want to know what someone says about you when you’re not in the room, just listen to what they say about others. They’ll speak of you in the same manner. You take this principle to heart and speak kindness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You wish that you could see what another person sees during the day and feel how this person feels. Your curiosity and empathy allow you to get a glimpse and feel a tinge of what it must be like. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being too rigid in your rules for living will only set the stage for failure. You can keep your high standards and still leave margins for error, impulse, desire and the unknown. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In the early stages of a goal, it will help to have a coach or accountability partner. After a few wins, you will no longer need the outside help. Self-discipline isn’t so hard, really. You tell yourself what to do and then you do it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People aren’t telling the whole story. There’s more you should know. If you ask directly, you’re unlikely to get the truth. Press gently and observe or wait for unguarded moments to reveal more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is lucky to know where temptation lives. Don’t even go down that street or you’ll find yourself knocking on the door. Once you’re in temptation’s living room, it will seem
impolite to turn down the offerings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Can you believe in faeries without believing in ogres? Once you open the door to a world, all of it rushes forward to greet you, the good, the bad and the ugly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Invite others to help you. One good friend can make all the difference to your productivity. Companionship will turn a daunting task into some fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It will feel good to lose self-consciousness and join the group mind for a moment. You’ll help others do this too. You have a way of relaxing people and making them feel safe. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your affection for someone grows and grows. It’s only obvious to the keenest of observers, and most people are too busy with their own scene to fall into that category. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Spiritual generosity comes very easily to you and there’s more power in your kindness than you might expect. A smile, a compliment or a little time with your positivity lifts hearts and improves days. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The fish who keeps his mouth shut doesn’t get caught. Right now, dear Pisces, it’s better not to share too much, as it will make you unnecessarily vulnerable.

actually made a difference for people’s longevity and their overall health.” Barba noted about 90% of people admitted to the ICU and 80% of patients hospitalized are unvaccinated. “Very few patients who are vaccinated end up in the ICU or end up dying from COVID,” Barba said. He added that it’s important to get the booster shot for an added layer of protection but that “the initial two shots are very important and helpful.” Barba said he has seen omicron greatly impact younger people in their 40s and 50s, who think they are immune to the virus. “We find parents of young kids in the hospital with a severe illness on the ventilator, which is obviously affecting both those families and the ER staff as well,” Barba said. He said for the near future people should be extra cautious. “This is going to be going through our community relatively quickly and probably will be calming down in the next month or two as we’ve seen in South Africa,” Barba said. He advised people to wear masks and avoid large indoor gatherings whenever possible. “Everything people can do for the next month or two to kind of go back to being more careful will help the hospital care for those who do get COVID,” Barba said.

It’s easy to paint ponds or lakes with ripples, but when it’s still or partially moving in one section and hitting the rocks, there’s almost three distinct layers that you have to capture,” explained Courier. “You have the bottom of the water, which sometimes you can see very clearly, then you have the reflection of the sky and then this section where the water is moving against the rocks and you almost have the reflection of the rocks.” Courier has spent her summers in Lake Tahoe since she was 12 years old. Her father, also a painter, would drive the family from Michigan to Kings Beach. These days, Courier continues the annual tradition, loading up her trusted van, Bessie, and following a new route to the Jewel of

& Time: 02/02/2022 at 10:00 AM Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3972 ROOSEVELT AVENUE (Unincorporated Area) , CAMINO, CA 95709 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 in an “AS IS” condition, 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: $39,936.18 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-7453. 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 94627453, 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.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1353 CEDAR OAK ROAD, 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 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 $431,222.80 (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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000002-21-1. 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000002-21-1 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.

the Sierra from her home in Denver, Colo. After starting her career as a fashion illustrator and portraitist, Courier ultimately turned her brush to the landscapes she’d been inspired by since she was a child. One painting of Sand Harbor 15 years ago spawned an insatiable desire to continue capturing the beauty of the Sierra Nevada. “I think it’s just the color of the water. I’ve never seen anything like it. The greens and the blues. Every day it’s a different lake. Every season it’s a different lake. It’s completely different in March than it is in July. It’s always changing,” said Courier, who takes off in her kayak with a camera in hand to capture different parts of the lake. Back in her

studio, Courier translates the pictures into brightly colored large scale paintings that take anywhere from 25 to 100 hours to complete. Those intimately familiar with the backcountry of the Sierra will recognize other bodies of water — Eagle Lake, Lake Winnemucca and Lily Lake — in Courier’s work. “The Sierra feel like mother to me and Colorado feels like father,” explained Courier. “There’s a different feeling to me. I paint both of them equally, but I feel like Tahoe and the Sierra with the granite and the soft pine paths really make me feel very safe out there.” Since starting to paint Tahoe, her career has taken off, she noted. Courier now has work available for sale at Emanate Gallery and Framing in South Lake Tahoe and Art Obsessions Gallery in Reno, as well as her own gallery, Westward Gallery, in Denver. “Michelle’s style contains subtle realism and impressionism,” explained Angela Cabrera, co-owner of Emanate Gallery and Framing. “While Michelle paints water and landscapes, what allures many to love her art is her ability to recreate beloved images of iconic and obscure locations.” Cabrera describes Courier’s ability to capture water as “bold and invigorating” with a color palette that “inspires us to reflect on the magnificent freshwater bodies and stunning landmarks in the Sierras.” For Courier, Lake Tahoe and its surrounding environment are a constant source of inspiration — and a challenge she can’t imagine ever turning away from. “I just feel like each painting is a lesson, and I get a little stronger in knowledge of how to translate paint into looking like transparent water,” she shared. “I never get tired of the lake. I never get tired of looking at the water. It’s a subject I’ll probably never stop doing.”

Artist Michelle Courier said the clarity of Lake Tahoe’s waters offers a unique challenge for those trying to capture what is happening both below and above the water.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

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 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 21-00300-FS-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.

E
njoy electrifying roots music by Tom Rigney & Flambeau at Sutter Creek Theatre Saturday, Jan. 15. Rigney is one of the premier roots music fiddle players on the planet. His band specializes in blazing Cajun twosteps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, boogie woogie piano and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes. Much of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they mix in a few classics from the Cajun/New Orleans songbook. Along the way, audience members may pick up a trace of Rigney’s Irish roots or echoes of Eastern Europe — it just makes the musical gumbo that much tastier. Flambeau showcases Rigney’s fiery virtuoso fiddling, his charismatic stage presence and his range and originality as a composer. He and Flambeau have forged a unique sound that blends American roots styles into something original and hot, mixing irresistible grooves with deep musicality and spectacular soloing. Rigney’s high-energy showmanship pulls the audience members into his performances and makes them feel they are a part of the show.
