The Easter bunny kept kids busy in El Dorado County this past weekend, leaving eggs filled with goodies all over. Above, dozens of kids 12 and younger flocked to the upper field at Indian Creek Elementary School Sunday afternoon to participate in the Mother Lode Lions Club’s annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. The field was strewn with hundreds of colorful plastic eggs full of prizes for the children to collect in their baskets, bags and buckets.

“Look For My Column On Page 3 Today!”

California Highway Patrol officer Trevor Gossett worked the night shift March 26. Less than two hours after he clocked out, the Placerville-based officer was as bright-eyed as he could be to receive the Officer of the Year award at the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills’ breakfast meeting.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” Gossett said.

Nominated by his peers, Gossett was commended for his professional demeanor and intelligent leadership as well as his kind and caring personality by Commander Rick Hatfield of the Placerville CHP Office.

“We’re very fortunate to have him,” Hatfield said.

Gossett is a 2018 CHP Academy graduate and for the last year and a half he has worked out of the Placerville office, which covers El Dorado County’s western slope. He’s one of 36 patrol officers on the team who ensures drivers are following the rules of the road and also serves on the CHP Honor Guard.

In addition to praising his officer, Hatfield thanked the Rotary Club and county residents for their continued support of local law enforcement.

“We are very fortunate to be working in El Dorado County,” the CHP commander said. “This is one of the most supportive communities I’ve worked in.”

Highway 50 accident leads to tricky extraction Odin Rasco Staff writer

An incident on Highway 50 near Placerville had a Folsom man trapped in a vehicle for close to 30 minuted as fire crews worked to access and open the car Saturday morning.

Crews from Cal Fire and the El Dorado County and Diamond Springs fire protection districts received a call at 7:17 a.m. Saturday reporting a vehicle had left the roadway on westbound Highway 50 and collided with a tree, according to EDCFPD Captain Jacob Poganski. The driver of the vehicle, Malachi Jamieson, 21, was stuck inside the Ford Fusion as it had rolled onto its side and lodged against a tree after it slid down the embankment near the Forni Road overcrossing near Weber Creek.

Fire crews navigated the steep embankment and worked for around 30 minutes safely removing Jamieson from the vehicle. Jamieson was treated for minor injuries by fire crews before being transported to Marshall Hospital for further evaluation; a California Highway Patrol incident report indicates no further injuries were reported.

CDFW introduces license application for mobile devices California Department of Fish and Wildlife News release

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced the launch of the CDFW License App for mobile devices.

The new application allows residents and nonresidents to display California sport fishing licenses and validations on their mobile phones and other mobile devices in lieu of a physical license.

Users may also download and view various CDFW online resources, including hunting and fishing regulations booklets, the Fish Planting Schedule and access the Online License Sales and Services website.

Users can download the application on their mobile devices through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or by accessing the direct download links from CDFW’s License App web page.

Following the successful rollout of

Gretchen Troop Photography

The CDFW Licensing App will allow California anglers to easily obtain, access and display their sport fishing licenses on their mobile devices. the CDFW License App, hunting licenses and related hunting validations will be added to the mobile display options as early as mid2024.

“We sometimes think progress moves too slowly, but the Department of Fish and Wildlife has moved full-speed ahead in making fishing licenses valid for 365 days and has modernized the

licensing process by going digital,” said Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg), author of the original legislation, Assembly Bill (AB) 817, responsible for the change to a 365-day license and mobile licensing display. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner in implementing this new process. I look forward to CDFW’s goal of growing its

digital footprint in other licensing areas.”

Wood’s AB 817, introduced in 2021, was widely embraced throughout the fishing community by national and statewide Recruit, Retain, Reactivate (R3) advocates, conservation organizations and CDFW. The Coastal Conservation Association of California, which works to protect the

interests of recreational saltwater anglers and healthy marine habitats, also supported the legislation.

“The CDFW License App represents the culmination of efforts that will benefit license holders for many years,” said Wayne Kotow, executive director of CCA CAL. Nathaniel Arnold, acting chief of CDFW’s Law Enforcement

Division, said, “Wildlife officers expect the app will provide additional opportunities for the angling public to have their licenses conveniently in possession when checked.”

The rollout of the CDFW Licensing App aligns with the goals of CDFW’s R3 initiative to transform hunting and fishing barriers into opportunities.

This app will allow California anglers to easily obtain, access and display their sport fishing licenses on their mobile devices, provide a convenient and paperless solution that promotes responsible fishing practices, ensure compliance with regulations and enhance overall fishing experiences for individuals in both urban and remote areas.

More information about the app and Frequently Asked Questions can be found on the CDFW’s License App web page, which includes video tutorials covering the app’s various functionalities.

Women are found to have better knowledge about oral health and more positive feelings about visiting the dentist. Men, on the other hand, have fewer dental visits, lower opinions about their dental health, poorer flossing habits, and more resulting tooth decay. Women are more likely to receive preventative treatments, while men require more emergency dental visits.

Because men receive dental care less often, dental professionals have fewer opportunities to connect with them about oral health, compounding the problem. One theory explaining why men are less likely to seek care suggests that needing to ask for help or care lowers some men’s positive

perceptions of themselves.

As part of their healthcare team, we encourage all of our patients to make the commitment to do what it takes to keep their teeth and gums in the best of shape. Problems with your oral health? Turn to our dental professionals for comprehensive dental care, from an assessment of your existing oral condition, to restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and suggestions for at home dental-care regimens. Whatever dental care you need, you’ll find it here, where all dental problems are dealt with efficiently, effectively, and compassionately.

P.S. Studies show that men are less likely to seek all kinds of medical care than women, not just dental care.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

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

California Matters

State’s drivers pay high gas prices, high gas taxes yet still drive on bad highways

T

o state the obvious, California motorists are experiencing one of the state’s periodic spikes in gasoline prices.

California’s average price for regular grade gas has again topped $5 a gallon, according to the most recent American Automobile DAN WALTERS Association report. It’s more than $6 in some areas. The average is up about 20 cents from a year ago and is about $1.50 higher than the national figure.

I can attest to the differential, having spent part of March driving some California’s gas 3,000 miles through four western states, mostly to prices are spiking visit national parks, and again. The state’s buying about 200 gallons motorists are of fuel along the way. All of my fill-ups were under not only paying $3.50 a gallon, with the high prices but lowest price being $2.99 in high fuel taxes Wyoming.

The difference between and not getting California prices and those much in return. in other states raises, for the umpteenth time, is the question of why it exists.

A couple of years ago Gov. Gavin Newsom spent months vilifying oil companies as pricegouging enemies of the people and demanded that the Legislature punish them with taxes on excess profits. He couldn’t win approval for the tax proposal, switched to seeking civil penalties and ultimately had to settle for relatively toothless legislation directing the state Energy Commission to gather data, establish a reasonable profit level and assess penalties for exceeding it.

“Finally, we’re in a position to look our constituents in the eye and say we now have a better understanding of why you’re being taken advantage of,” Newsom said a year ago as he signed the bill.

Letters to the Editor Bureaucratic bull

Bring him back

EDITOR: he state sues El Dorado County? Really?

The state bureaucrats are using our hardearned tax dollars to force the county to keep their harmful needle exchange program. This program doesn’t help the drug addicted or save their lives.

These bureaucrats in Sacramento seem to encourage the use of drugs unimpeded, giving the users the tools to continue. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’ Office and the District Attorney’s Office have more experience dealing with this issue than anyone else and unfortunately drug abusers seem to make up a large portion of the homeless.

I am just so tired of Sacramento politicians and bureaucrats telling us how to live our lives and how they need our tax dollars to misspend as they wish.

BRUCE BILA Placerville

T

Rush to judge EDITOR: n a recent letter to the Mountain Democrat, I made a comment regarding Trump’s conviction for fraudulent business practices in New York. Based on that comment, a reader can only draw two conclusion about my political position regarding Donald Trump. First, that as a conservative I was concerned that said conviction could cost Trump valuable votes in November.

Second, that as a conservative, I was encouraging fellow conservative voters to vote against Trump in November.

In Mr. Alger’s letter of March 22, George clearly selected option two and labeled me a “Trump Hater” encouraging conservatives to vote against Trump. Wow! I can’t believe the criticism that followed and George and I have never met. His rush to judgement is likely an example of how uninformed he may have been in many of his other writings. Clearly George needs to find another hobby.

r. Taylor, the animals Trump was talking about at his last Rally are the ones who are raping and using women and children for sex trafficking and the ones who are bringing the drugs to our country.

If you noticed the last rushing of the border patrol officers, those rushing were all young men — perfect for their own little army. They are also the criminals other countries do not want.

Countries have been clearing out their prisons for gods sake. They won’t take them back if we deport them.

What is your problem?

Oh, and, yes, Trump’s family members have come to our country as immigrants ... but they came here legally. Get off your high horse and look around; there are too many people who are thinking the same way as I do. That’s why Trump is leading in polls. And, yes, we do want Trump back in office.

Why would you want another four years with Biden?

TERRI ELDERD Placerville

Surely I cannot be the only one EDITOR: urely I cannot be the only one. Surely some of you have also arrived at the age of 70-plus years and now have to withdraw required minimum distribution funds from your IRA savings.

Some of you also love the Sierra Nevada and are dedicated to enjoying our mountains, which are relatively unprotected due to less population density and thus less voting power than other areas of our state, while also having fewer high wealth residents to help protect the Sierra.

As some of you know, the RMD mandatorily withdrawn from your IRA at 70-plus years is at full taxes, so you will lose 30%/whatever your tax bracket is on each dollar.

The explanations she ticks off are a generation coming of age during the COVID pandemic, an explosion of the worst inflation in years and, she adds, the impact of the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade, which she calls “the loss of a right that our parents had — the right to an abortion nationwide.” She cites Gallup showing that 89% of those 18-29 years old support legal abortion under any or certain circumstances.

We’re talking here about our nation’s future and this dismal picture should trouble us all.

“After having too many bones broken, he decided to switch careers,” Hatfield said. It was no joke as Gossett told the crowd he had broken both legs at different times.

Now, instead of running from a raging bull, Gossett enjoys his time behind the wheel of a patrol cruiser. “I love to drive,” he confessed. “We have cool cars and get to drive fast … chase down bad guys.”

The Officer of the Year said he loves the freedom and variety that comes with his job. One day he’s helping change a flat tire and the next he’s helping search for a lost hiker. Meeting new people and interacting with the public are also job highlights, he shared.

taxes on fuel that are three times the national average, California’s motorists are driving on highways that are subpar vis-à-vis those in other states.

Driving back into California from other states can be a jarring experience and data from the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics back up that observation. As of 2020, California had the fourthworst roadway conditions of any state with just 67% of its 26,406 miles of pavement in “acceptable” condition.

The national average was 81%, and all four states I visited had much higher scores than California: Wyoming 94.3%, Nevada 85.7%, Utah 80% and Colorado 78.1%.

We are paying the most in gas taxes and getting almost the least in roadway quality.

Have something to say??

“There’s a new sheriff in town in California, where we brought Big Oil to their knees. And I’m proud of this state.”

We have heard virtually nothing from officialdom about gas prices since and Newsom apparently didn’t bring Big Oil to its knees.

The vast majority of the differential in gas prices between California and other states can be attributed to differing policies.

Severin Borenstein, a UC Berkeley economist regarded as the state’s leading expert on the issue, parsed the differential in a 2023 paper, pointing out that California’s direct and indirect taxes on fuel amount to nearly $1 per gallon — 70 cents higher than the national average in such taxes — and the state’s unique fuel blend to battle smog adds another dime.

That left what he calls the “mystery gasoline surcharge,” or MGS, of about 43 cents a gallon that cannot be directly attributed to oil prices or California’s taxes and other official factors. It may be a mystery, but at least some of it can be logically attributed to the relatively high costs of doing any kind of business in California — rents, electricity and other utilities, wages and regulatory overhead, Email your letter to editor to editor@ for example.

Even if the MGS could be eliminated from the mtdemocrat.net equation, California’s gas prices would still be at We do not publish anonymous letters so don’t least $1 higher than those in other states.

Last month’s sojourn through other western forget to include your first and last name and states underscored another aspect of the gas-price where in El Dorado County you live.

ver wondered what is the Weimar Institute just off Interstate 80 at the West Paoli exit?

I can tell you there are public trails and more if you want to take a peek inside.

The Weimar Institute is a private college highlighting traditional Seventh-day Adventist principles of health and education. Exercise being one of the core principles, the grounds have a maze of trails open to the public.

The Meadow Vista Trails Association offers a map of the trails you can find online. It all begins by getting there.

From Auburn head east on Interstate 80 to West Paoli Lane. Go over the freeway and take the first right. You will find a couple of parking lots outside the institute. If you drive inside, stay to the left and you will find additional parking closer to the trailhead.

I parked outside so I could walk through the grounds. I found a library, an inn and

Walking to the right or the left on the institute grounds, you find trail signs. I took the Valley View Trail and extended it to the Coyote Creek Trail.

Much of the trail was covered, providing some shade on hot summer days. The trails that wandered through the manzanita groves were impressive. In the wet season I could imagine them deep red. Some recent clearing has left wide swaths of dead manzanita, like old bones, on the hillsides.

For this hike I had a particular destination

He said there were dozens, if not hundreds, of gravestones from World Wars I and II. I found the cemetery. As described there was hill after hill covered with markers. Some markers were little more than rotten fence boards with no lettering at all.

Others had numbered tags, while still others had marble headstones. n See DAY HIKER, page B4

Placerville Preschoolers hosts a party News release Placerville Preschoolers celebrates its 65-year milestone, inviting the community to an afternoon of reconnecting, reminiscing and looking forward, noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7, at the school, 6556 Commerce Way in the Park West Business Center.

Placerville Preschoolers was formed in 1959 by a group of parents in search of positive play experiences for their children. The Placerville Preschoolers Learning Center was developed in 1985 to meet the needs of families who required a longer period of care during the day and continued to grow. Kids’ Kampus was added to support the needs of children before and after school as well as during the summer and school breaks. Those former students are

now bringing their own children and working as team members to further care for the children of the community.

Long-term staff members take pride in providing a program that delights children each day with activities designed to stimulate their enthusiasm for learning. As a nonprofit, Placerville Preschoolers channels all funds received through tuition and fundraising events directly to programs benefiting the families served.

The annual Family Pizza Night fundraiser will be held May 1. Raffle prize donations for the event are appreciated. Proceeds from the Pizza Night raffle will be used for new equipment for the students.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis n TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you are a highenergy person, you can pull off a slow burn with the best of them. The trick is in finding contentment in the present moment. People will be magnetized by your serene warmth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve hit your limit of clutter, and you’ll not only clear, clean and organize. You’ll also make new policies going forward to avoid unnecessary purchases and consumerism-driven habits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Take your time in deciding who belongs in your support circle. Observe potential candidates, especially how they communicate with you and others, whether they listen to other perspectives without judgment and how they handle differences of opinion.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You love a topic enough to devote yourself to learning its deeper layers. Teaching will enforce your love. Instead of telling people what to do or explaining things, you’ll demonstrate and thus inspire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have aspirations for your personal life and you’re willing to grow into the person who can handle these things. You expect things to feel a little weird. Being slightly uncomfortable just means you’re stretching.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you’ve never had the kind of relationship where a partner listens to your wild ideas without batting an eye and cheers you on like a hype squad at a pep rally for your dreams. But if you’re open to it, it’s coming your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Simplify your daily routines and habits to reduce complexity. Attention is a precious commodity. If it weren’t, people wouldn’t be working so hard to get yours. Eliminate the unnecessary. Focus on essentials.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be as effective as your support system, so use discernment to choose well. Seek people who are more concerned with seeing the big picture come together than they are with getting ego needs met.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your relationship should be a dance where kindness takes the lead, and disagreements are just spicy breakaway moves that keep things interesting before you rejoin and get in step. All spice and no dish is not sustainable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You live by your own rules, cultivate habits aligned with your goals and exercise qualities you value, resulting in a surge of inner strength.

Compassion, humility and integrity sing in harmony — the soundtrack of your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The paradox of effort and ease is very much alive in your day; you’ll be reminded how striving often leads to frustration and suffering, while surrendering and letting go brings ease and fulfillment.

Balance between doing and being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you consider the complexities and nuances of a situation, you wonder if it’s worth it to get involved at all. But that’s the problem with thinking. It never accurately represents actual experience.

And so you will boldly go and see for yourself.

The cemetery is sadly lacking for care. Our veterans are left in a wasteland out on the edge of the property.

I know our area has a few private cemeteries in less than ideal conditions. The Chinese Cemetery on Highway 49 is one that comes to mind. I guess seeing so many unmarked graves of our veterans so close to home was disappointing at the very least. I have shared several of the markers on my Facebook page. You may want to check them out. Who knows, they could belong to your family.

0080771-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California; Date of Sale: 4/10/2024 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse located at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $171,740.88 The purported property address is: 800 FISKE ST, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667-5519 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 003-182-021-000 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 http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-971125-BF. 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 http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-971125-BF 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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNEROCCUPANT: Any prospective owneroccupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: May 13, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 9 at 3321 Cameron Park Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

THE PETITION for probate requests that MICHAEL EGBERT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: May 20, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 9 at 3321 Cameron Park Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

EXCEPTING THEREFROM ALL OIL, GAS, MINERALS, AND OTHER HYDROCARBON SUBSTANCES LYING BELOW THE SURFACE OF SAID LAND, BUT WITH NO RIGHT OF SURFACE ENTRY. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the Property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the Property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the Property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this Property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the Property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this Property, you may call 1.866.684.2727 or visit this Internet Website www.servicelinkasap.com. using the file number assigned to this case 23-00389-2FNT. 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 1.866.684.2727, or visit this internet website www.servicellnkasap.com. using the file number assigned to this case 23-00389-2FNT 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.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real Property described above is purported to be: 3310 Bird Haven Loop, Cool, CA 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 unpaid balance of the obligations secured by and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust (together with any modifications thereto).

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.

Trustor: HazelKay Yurong And Floro Casiquin Ritarita, Married To Each Other Duly Appointed Trustee: Prestige Default Services, LLC Recorded 11/15/2021 as Instrument No. 2021-0070698 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Date of Sale: 4/25/2024 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: Main entrance El Dorado County Superior Courthouse - Placerville Main Street Branch, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $146,084.34 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 152 Keystone Court El Dorado Hills California 95762 A.P.N.: 118-370054-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 793-6107 or visit this Internet Website www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-10108. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 793-6107, or visit this internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-10108 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.
