Third cannabis business misses city’s deadline Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Reserve House, one of three adult-use cannabis businesses approved to operate within Placerville city limits, was required to open by Jan. 15 as part of the terms of three permits issued in 2021 but that didn’t happen. An extension request from the owners, citing a loss of investors and supply chain difficulties as reasons for failing to meet the one-year deadline, was denied by the Placerville City Council at its Jan. 25 meeting. City Manager Cleve Morris detailed the progress and history of the proposed Placerville Drive business up to the first of the year. “For the most part we feel that they had the same opportunity that any of the other businesses had,” he said. The other two dispensaries granted licenses, Chuck’s Wellness Center on Broadway and Sacred Roots on upper Main Street, were able to work through challenges and open their facilities before the deadline, noted Morris. He did state that the fact that Reserve House had lost an investor might be considered in granting the extension. The initial investor in Reserve House pulled out, apparently due to a lawsuit challenging the city’s cannabis permit selection process. Further information about the lawsuit from city officials was not available as of press time. Councilwoman Patty Borelli asked if Morris had been aware of the delays. “I was curious to know, through this whole process, whether you had been in touch or they with you?” she questioned. Morris said he had been in contact with the applicants in August and had expressed his concern over the lack of progress. “It wasn’t until November that they realized, we both realized, there was no way they were going to meet that Jan. 15 deadline,” said Morris. At that time they asked for the extension and Morris told them to put it in writing to bring to City Council. “It doesn’t seem like they have done much but ‘prepare to commence to proceed,’” said Councilman Dennis Thomas. “But they haven’t n

Mountain Democrat staff The community is heartbroken after 14-year-old Julianna Abballo was killed in a hit-and-run Tuesday afternoon in Camino. Driving a 2018 Honda CR-V, suspect Anthony Baron Smith of Pollock Pines fled the scene but he and his vehicle were later located by authorities and arrested, according to the Placerville office
of the California Highway Patrol. Felony charges listed against Smith, 23, include voluntary manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury. The tragedy took place on Carson Road east of Barkley Road at about 4:15 p.m. The Camino teen and her best friend were walking along Carson Road to a nearby Chevron gas station to get snacks, Julianna’s mother Jolene told the Mountain Democrat Wednesday morning as she visited the site along Carson Road where her daughter took her n

tranquilized. That’s the situation California Department of Fish and Wildlife Lt. Bob Pera and four other wildlife officers found themselves in Saturday morning at the Missouri Flat Village shopping center in Placerville. Pera said he got the call at about 4:30 a.m. that a bear was treed near the TJ Maxx. The bear, a female estimated to be between 8 and 15 years old, is thought to have come through the Weber Creek drainage to the east of the shopping center where there is “a lot” of wildlife, according to Pera. The bear reportedly made her way through a homeless camp under the Highway
50 Weber Creek Bridge, disturbing a few individuals there before climbing out of the canyon and into the shopping center parking area. It was there the bear was frightened by someone yelling at her, sending the bear about 12 feet up an oak tree on the east side of the parking lot. The bear remained in the tree. To ensure public safety and get her out, she needed to be tranquilized. Once adequate CDFW staff was on scene and ready to mobilize the bear using a bear trap, the drugs were administered. Described as a “fat” n

last breaths. “She was always so happy,” Jolene said while laying a bouquet of flowers. “The neighbors here came out and stayed with her. By the time we got to her she was already gone.” The CHP incident report states Julianna was walking eastbound on the north shoulder of Carson Road when Smith’s SUV hit her. Smith was traveling west and for reasons the CHP continues to investigate, veered off the roadway, onto the shoulder, striking the pedestrian. There are no sidewalks along that stretch of Carson Road. Camino residents Hervé and Julie Leconte told TV reporters the incident took place right in front of their home and a loud bang and a scream drew them outside. Hervé said he stayed with the hit-andrun victim and she was never alone. Smith is held at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville on $250,000 bail, according to El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office inmate records. He is expected to be arraigned next week in an El Dorado County Superior Court courtroom. Julianna was an eighthgrader at Camino School, where a community candlelight vigil was planned for Thursday night. Camino Union School District Superintendent Matt Smith sent out a message to students’ parents stating, “Our hearts are broken and the grief we feel as a school community is beyond words. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and all of her classmates and teachers. Camino is a tightknit and very special community and we will work together to get
through this tragedy.” A GoFundMe page was set up to help support the Abballo family. The fundraising effort, which went live Wednesday, saw at least $21,000 of a $25,000 goal come in as of midday Thursday. Friend of the Abballo family Heidi Kimbrough is organizing the GoFundMe. Donations collected will go to offset funeral costs and provide counseling services and other needs of the family. The GoFundMe page states: “Our friends Christian and Jolene Abballo lost their 14-yearold daughter last night. She left behind six young siblings who are reeling from this tremendous and sudden loss. And our small, yet tight-knit community is devastated

We shouldn’t let abuses get lost in the Olympic spotlight
W
ith the Beijing Winter Olympics now under way, Americans must not allow the glowing coverage to divert their attention from China’s deplorable human rights record, repression of free speech, military adventurism in the South China Sea and its implicit offer to help Russia weather Western sanctions over Ukraine. Athletes are under strict rules to keep their mouths shut or risk expulsion or arrest. China deserves to be called out at every opportunity for defying the ideals that the Olympics stand for. NBC paid more than $7 billion for the rights to broadcast the games and its executives must be painfully aware of China’s ability to pull the plug for any infraction or perceived insult by its announcers. As television viewers tune in throughout the event, they should take note not just of the extraordinary athletic talent on display but also what’s not being said. President Xi Jinping’s government has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to crack down whenever it wants. It expelled U.S. As television journalists from The New York Times, The viewers tune in Wall Street Journal throughout the and The Washington Post in 2020. It event, they should recently arranged take note not just the disappearance of of the extraordinary tennis star Peng Shuai for publicly accusing athletic talent on a top official of having display but also sexually assaulted her. The list of oppressive what’s not being and abusive actions said. became so voluminous the United States and other Western countries could no longer justify a courteous silence ahead of the games. Instead, they are observing a diplomatic boycott. In an interview with NPR, China’s ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang, sidestepped any serious discussion or acknowledgment of everything the rest of the world sees his government doing. Qin denounced as “fabrications, lies and disinformation” the wellconfirmed murders and arrests of China’s Uyghur minority. Uyghurs who challenge China’s rule, he said, are “terrorists.” Those who espouse their ethnic identity are sent to “vocational camps” to learn how to assimilate to the Chinese way. Chinese journalists who reported facts about the spread of the coronavirus in the early days of the pandemic were arrested or threatened by government agents. Now, the only word coming from China is that the coronavirus has been n

Letters to the Editor A fine idea EDITOR:
W
e live in a rural county and I’ve been very appreciative of our El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office for the work they do. But it is clear that due to progressive government laws that have exacerbated lawlessness, it has become apparent our police force can’t be everywhere and that concerns me. I read this morning that progressives in San Jose have passed a law requiring gun owners to pay a new fee that city leaders call gun insurance. The money taken from law-abiding citizens will be given to the city to, in their words, fight gun violence. This new law brings me back to an idea I had promoting safety in our community — mandating every homeowner in El Dorado County own a firearm. I don’t know what message San Jose wants to give to society by punishing law-abiding citizens who practice their constitutional rights. Still, I understand what message my measure would give to criminals wishing to harm our county. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
CPUC delays NEM 3.0 EDITOR: he Net Energy Metering 3.0 proposal, which came under fire from industry leaders, environmentalists and working Californians, was called a rooftop solar-killing measure. NEM 3.0 would have killed 65,000 solar jobs in California and would lead to a 57% to 71% overall reduction in solar savings across the state. The “tax on the sun” charge would apply to all solar customers, regardless of whether they have grid-supporting technology like battery energy storage. In many cases payback periods were increased to as much as 20 years — a wait many viewed as unreasonable and too risky. The California Public Utilities Commission was scheduled to meet and vote Jan. 27. Then, it was reported that Gov. Newsom said there was still “work to be done” on the proposal and it was discovered that the proposed decision was not on the docket for the 27th, nor the Feb. 10
T
meeting. Now, it appears that the voices of all who opposed the measure have been heard, as the decision is postponed indefinitely. Solar NEM 2.0 customers are no longer in threat of losing their grandfathering of 20 years. As a owner of home solar and family business in solar, this is the best news we’ve had in two full years. We defeated AB 1139, Contractors State License Board restriction on solar contractors’ ability to install batteries and now hopefully the profit grab from PG&E. We’re in a very unique territory as thousands of homeowners are reliant on their power for heating, air, wells and medical devices. When we have fires and/or public shut off, our batteries keep homeowners’ lifestyles to as close as normal. NEM 3.0 would have devastated the industry and California’s progress toward a green future.

Needs of the many EDITOR: urrent pandemic events of late have left me thinking a lot about my late grandmother. Many years ago, when I was just a little squirt, she told me many stories from the World War II era: stories of war bonds, paper drives, metal collections and food supply rationing. Each of the tales seemed to revolve around individual sacrifice for the greater good of society as a whole. Even pennies were made from steel for a few years so the copper could be used for war efforts. Perhaps the story that made the biggest impression on me was when she described the blackout conditions. My grandmother lived in San Pedro, not too far from the coast in Southern California, where there was a real fear of enemy attack from the sea. When the sun went down all the local residents covered the inside of their windows with black paper or blankets ensuring that no light from inside the house could escape. Thus, entire neighborhoods appeared as nothing but darkness, frustrating an enemy’s ability to use landmarks to assist in targeting. Of course, this blackout condition was only effective if everyone participated. But at that time

Summary Would a new centrally managed healthcare program be any more effective than the Employment Development Department or the state’s other bungling bureaucracies? criticisms of EDD by the auditor, state legislators and other authorities over the years, to little avail. Recently, EDD froze 345,000 claims for disability insurance it suspected of being fraudulent and declared that 98% of the 27,000 medical providers named on the claims were bogus. The announcement more or less coincided with the departure of EDD director Rita Saenz and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s announcement that Nancy Farias, EDD’s chief deputy director of external affairs, legislation and policy since 2020, would replace her. “The EDD has tried so hard to downplay their most recent failure at preventing fraud within their disability programs,” said Assemblyman Jim Patterson, a Fresno Republican who has been one of the department’s sharpest critics.
“The governor needs to put someone in charge of the EDD with the guts to make the necessary changes.” To be fair, EDD’s managerial shortcomings did not begin with Newsom or the COVID-19 pandemic. They were evident during the previous recession more than a decade earlier, but Newsom’s predecessors did virtually nothing to correct them. Even though the CalCare bill recently stalled in the Assembly, the question remains: Why should we assume that a new state medical care bureaucracy would be any more efficient and reliable than EDD? Or the Department of Motor Vehicles? Or the woebegone bullet train project? Or the Bay Bridge project that took 25 years to complete and

was many billions of dollars over budget? Or any of the very expensive but faltering digital information projects that the state has undertaken on the promise of delivering services more responsively and efficiently? Their shortcomings are annoying to those they are supposed to serve, and in the case of EDD have needlessly caused financial hardship to employees whose jobs vanished due to economic shutdowns ordered to deal with COVID-19. On paper, one can make an argument for singlepayer health care as being more efficient and more equitable than the current system, which is bewilderingly complex and expensive. But paper isn’t the real world. EDD is.

virtually wiped out and the official daily death toll for a country of more than 1.4 billion is zero. The boundless miracles of communism never cease to amaze. Against that backdrop, American viewers should expect minimal if any real coverage from Beijing of any substantive issues beyond, perhaps, athletes’ favorite foods and their love of the dramatic vistas from their Olympic Village rooms. Politics and Olympic athletics have been
inextricably intertwined ever since Black athlete Jesse Owens stood on the gold medal dais in 1936, disproving the myth of Aryan superiority while surrounded by his German hosts offering Heil Hitler salutes. The International Olympic Committee has enabled and encouraged China’s egregious behavior by granting host status, once again, to a country whose actions belie everything the Olympics stand for.

actually started.” Vice Mayor Michael Saragosa asked to hear from the applicant before further discussion. Jeremy Dlabaj, Reserve House applicant, delivered a prepared statement to the councilmembers by phone. “We have had a few problems and hiccups but we have had a lot of progress,” he said. Dlabaj stated that Reserve House was working with a new investor and had completed updated architectural drawings and a new agreement to purchase the building where the cannabis microbusiness was planned to reside — 560 Placerville Drive. A cannabis microbusiness involves at least three activities taking place in one facility — cultivation, manufacturing, retail or distribution. He noted the loss of investors was a major factor in the lack of progress. “Nobody was really willing to put in $1.75 million-plus on a situation where we didn’t have the license in hand,” he said. “Until that verdict was done nobody really wanted to move forward.” He said since the court decision was finalized in June they were able to move forward with their plan, had obtained a new investor and were ready to start building immediately pending the extension being granted. Kevin Hamm, CEO and the main investor in the venture, also called into the meeting to speak on the extension request. “It is important to understand that legal challenge was a very big deal,” he said. “I can tell you there was nobody at that point ready to take that leap while this was in a legal challenge.” The legal challenge threatened the licenses that were awarded to all three applicants during the initial granting process. “Everything is ready to roll now,” he said. “To reset and go back to the beginning doesn’t seem to make sense to me.” Dlabaj explained that the Reserve House model as a cannabis microbusiness was confronted with more challenges than the other two approved retail stores. “A micro license, you’re building a laboratory,” he said. “It is much more costly. “For the other two applicants to be given the exact same timeline as a micro license (business) that is going to be doing seven state licenses

that include cultivation, retail, retail delivery, edibles, nursery, distribution,” Dlabaj continued. “That’s not even a comparison as far as build-out. “Let’s face it, we have gone through a lot to get to where we are today,” he concluded. “And to not get the extension and be told no at this point, I just don’t feel it’s fair.” “It sounds like a comedy of errors but I do think that they deserve the benefit of the doubt because they’re different than the other two businesses,” said Placerville resident Kathi Lishman. Mayor Kara Taylor served on the cannabis committee that recommended granting the permits. “The application process was incredibly rigorous,” she said. “The thought of pulling something away because they didn’t meet a deadline, I don’t take that lightly.” She added that it is hard for her to deviate from the written process that was set forth in the ordinance and resolution. Saragosa asked if litigation was prevalent in the cannabis industry. “I have seen that when litigation ensues over a project it can render it infeasible,” said City Attorney Mona Ebrahimi. “Because all of the financial resources that were initially intended to go toward operating and opening the business are diverted and used for defense of the lawsuit.” Councilwoman Jackie Neau asked the applicant why the request for an extension was not submitted at least 60 days prior to the deadline, as required by the resolution. Saragosa made a motion to deny the extension request and Neau seconded that motion. After further discussion Borelli expressed empathy for a small business trying to open and Taylor admitted to being torn on the issue. Borelli asked if Director of Development Pierre Rivas could chime in on the process. “I don’t’ really have anything to add that would provide the council further ability to make a decision,” he said. “I would rely more heavily on the ordinance and whether or not the applicant has provided the burden of proof meeting the deadlines as prescribed in our ordinance.” Saragosa restated the motion to deny the extension. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 3-2 with Taylor and Borelli voting against denying the extension.

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). A common thought today: “What is wrong with them?” There are hidden but logical causes and reasons for the undesirable behaviors of others. Try and find them because they are the basis for dealing with others in a healthy manner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re gaining skills and building up desirable traits. Even so, you should never have to be a different person to succeed. In each new version you’ll stay true to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have deep wells of creativity and will be drawn to those with similarly rich resources. Seek an atmosphere of support and encouragement where everyone is safe to express themselves. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As others run from responsibility, you run toward it. Work is an essential part of who you are and your need for it is more ample than your need for play or rest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Money is important, but not the most important, and certainly shouldn’t have the emphasis that certain people around you seem to give it. Chasing the dollar leads to hollow victory at best. Center your goals on helping. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When guests leave your home, you see them to the door, a gesture to soothe the transition and prevent emptiness from settling into the separation. You’ll metaphorically enact this
lovely gesture in other settings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You allow yourself to be unserious and people relax around you. The spirit of playfulness, laughter and creativity will be your constant companions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will receive a blessing of sorts. It won’t be from a religious official, and it won’t happen in a formal context. You will feel the energy of this blessing open something up in you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will have a strong need to categorize you, only because they’re trying to figure out where you fit into their lives. Just don’t let them define you. You define you, and that definition is ever evolving. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If love is a game, this will be a prize-winning round. Hand on the buzzer, you’re ready to come up with the right answer. Make your move. Don’t wait to be sure. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Artistic expression is stress relief. A regular creative practice will net you a calmer and more centered existence with the bonus of being masterful at your craft. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have your choice of a few different investments. It will be better to invest in a person than it will in an object or commodity. Tonight: Fortune favors you when you express your love in actions instead of words.

bear, Pera said it took about 15 minutes for the tranquilizer to take effect. With the help of a Cal Fire firefighter and two medics from Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District Station 49, CDFW officers then had to wrangle the bear from the oak’s branches. That was at about 11 a.m. “It took every bit of us to manipulate (the bear),” explained Pera, who’s worked for CDFW 24 years. “Trying to get 400 lbs out of a tree is a job.” Pera noted that the bear was given a health check by a CDFW biologist and found to be healthy. There was no sign of lactation so the bear is not thought to have young cubs. She was also tagged on her ear so CDFW officers have record if the bear

Imagination Theater revved up for
‘Grease’ Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
“G
rease” written by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs was first produced in 1971 in Chicago and made the move to New York the following year, quickly jumping to Broadway where it ignited a fascination with 1950s’ culture during a successful eight-year run and spawned the hugely popular film of the same name in 1978. The popularity of the play and subsequent film(s) is clear. With multiple Broadway and West End revivals throughout the years and countless regional, community theater and high school productions performed each season “Grease” is, undeniably, still the word. Next week Imagination Theater will mount its fourth production in the 20-plus years it has been in business. In fact, it was the first show produced. Imagination Theater founder and Artistic Director Peter Wolfe said the enduring appeal of the show made it a clear choice as the first show out of the gate for the fledgling company. “We can all relate to it,” he said. “Even if times have changed, some things never change. The high school experience is universal; we see title shreds of ourselves in this story.” “Grease” was the first show Wolfe saw on
Sandy Dumbrowski (Amaya Parker) reminisces with the Pink Ladies about her vacation romance in the much-loved musical number “Summer Nights.” a Broadway stage. “I saw Adrienne Barbeau play Rizzo, belting out ‘There are worse things I can do’ onstage,” he said. “That’s where I first realized the power of musical theater.” This iteration of the popular script is
directed and choreographed by Vanessa Lathrop who actually choreographed all earlier versions of the show at Imagination Theater.

old on to your seat and get ready for an evening of outrageous humor and song with Sourdough Slim & Robert Armstrong – Last of the Vaudeville Cowboys, performing Saturday, Feb. 12, and Sutter Creek Theatre. A marvel of musical ingenuity, yodeling cowboy songster Sourdough Slim and string instrument wizard Armstrong joyously rekindle the country blues, vintage jazz, cowboy classics and string band repertoire of pre-World War II America. Whether capturing the haunting refrain of a Jimmie Rodgers blue yodel or swinging out a hot novelty number, everyone gets caught up in the fun these two cut-ups have on stage. A fast-paced performance of music and comedy that showcases this duo’s seasoned gift for connecting with their audiences — all dished up with a hearty dose of vaudevillian stagecraft — makes for a delightfully entertaining experience. Longtime fans will remember Slim and Armstrong as founding members of two of California’s favorite acoustic combos, 8th Avenue String Band and R. Crumb’s Cheap Suit Serenaders. Between them they share a provocative array of period instruments, including flat-top guitar, national steel, baritone and soprano ukulele, musical saw, accordion, six-string banjo and harmonica. Well-traveled veterans of stages ranging from Carnegie Hall and The Lincoln Center to The National Cowboy Gathering, Strawberry Music Festival and Prairie Home Companion, these modern day vaudevillians capture a sound and moment in time that consistently delights funloving music fans everywhere they perform.

New entertainment venue opening in Sac Heather Atherton News release SACRAMENTO — Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain and Live Nation recently announce their partnership for Hard Rock Live, the property’s new state-of-theart indoor concert venue scheduled to open late spring in Sacramento. Hard Rock will own and operate the building, while Live Nation will exclusively book and promote all shows at the new premiere venue. Hard Rock Live will be located on the north side of the current property adjacent to the existing Kumi Events Center. The entire site will occupy 65,000 square feet and will feature up to 2,500 seats or 3,000 occupants for general admission. A state-of-the-art audio-visual entertainment venue, the Hard Rock Live is designed to be the region’s premier music, comedy and concert destination. It will also serve as a multi-purpose event center with the capability to host a multitude of programs including meetings and trades hows, boxing and MMA, marketing promotions,
live events in the growing Northern California market.” Hard Rock Live will additionally serve as a community resource in regional emergencies. The facility has been designed to serve as an emergency shelter for up to 1,000 people, if needed. This need arose after the Feather River Valley experienced a regional threat by the Oroville Dam in February 2017. That experience weighed in the design of the building by the tribal ownership, leaders of the Estom Yumeka Maidu Tribe of the Enterprise Rancheria. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain welcomes Randy Maddocks as its director of Entertainment. Maddocks previously oversaw all entertainment at the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park in Northeast Ohio and brings a wealth of entertainment and marketing experience to the new venue. In addition, Live Nation announced that Rose Kirkland, senior vice president of booking, will be responsible for talent initiatives at the new Hard Rock Live.

industry for guests to enjoy. “Entertainment is the foundation of the Hard Rock brand as experienced at our many locations around the world.

Grease
Know
Continued from B1
“My first job with Imagination Theater was with the first production of ‘Grease,’” she said. “I had done ‘Grease’ as a teenager in high school. It’s one of my favorite shows.” Working as both choreographer and director is a challenge, Lathrop admitted, sharing that she’s grateful for the great support system in her family and the crew of the show that makes the challenging process much easier to manage. Multiple setbacks due to COVID-19 shutdowns and the Caldor Fire have been part of the trials in mounting this production. “The crew and the cast have really rallied together and done great, working extra hard at rehearsals and coming in prepared,” she said. “It is wonderful having a group of people working to make the show the best it can be.” Amaya Parker, a graduating junior at Ponderosa High School who plays romantic lead Sandy Dumbrowski, said the process has been great. “This show is filled with so many amazing people and they’re all so talented,” she said. “This theater is filled with such a warmth and such an energy that I’ve never really experienced in a theater before.” This is Khyle Smith’s first Imagination Theater production. A junior at Oak Ridge High School, Smith has performed in a number of productions at school and elsewhere. “It’s been a great rehearsal process,” he said. “Everyone has been great here.” Gianna Kaldunski, an eighth-grader at Gold Trail School who plays a Doo Wop Girl, has been performing
at Imagination Theater for a number of years. “I really like it; it’s been chaotic, but it’s been fun,” she said. Jayce Kaldunski, a junior from E Dorado High School and Gianna’s brother, is pulling triple duty on “Grease.” While performing in the male ensemble he is fulfilling the duties of the prop master while also holding down his usual gig of house manager. Jayce admitted to enjoying the aesthetics of the 1950s. “It is a blast,” he said. “I volunteered to do props as well because I love doing period pieces like this. You get to do all the fun 1950s’ things, like all the magazines and other props.” Jayce is inching toward his 20th production with Imagination Theater, having begun his acting career there in a production of “Oliver.” Since then he has performed in multiple theaters throughout the region including numerous forays at Studio 81 at El Dorado High School. “Grease” deals with the tumultuous time between the repressed 1950s and the rebellious 1960s and touches on such issues as teen pregnancy, peer pressure and class conflict. In the end it is a story about love and friendship and the inevitable reality that humans need each other as whimsically highlighted in the closing number, “We Go Together.” “Grease” plays Feb. 18 through March 13 with 2 p.m. matineées and 7 p.m. evening performances at Imagination Theater on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville.

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.

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, CA12000019-19-1.
