Vacancy tax petition signatures to be verified Tahoe Daily Tribune staff

A courier will deliver the petitions to the county Elections Department today. The Elections Department has 30 business days to certify the petition as sufficient or insufficient.

Two weeks ago Locals for Affordable Housing, the nonprofit facilitating the petition, announced it had gathered 2,000 signatures, but still needed 350 more valid signatures to get the initiative on the ballot.

The proposed vacancy tax would tax homeowners $3,000 the first year and $6,000 the second year, if their home remains vacant for a majority of a year.

Organizers of an initiative to put a residential vacancy tax for South Lake Tahoe on the November ballot filed their petition Monday, according to city of South Lake Tahoe clerk Susan Blankenship.

“The petition secured 2,471 signatures. The minimum number of signatures needed was 10% or 1,159 to forward to the El Dorado County Elections Department for certification,” said Blankenship.

The signatures must be verified as those of South Lake Tahoe residents registered to vote.

Club’s 57th Camellia Cup Regatta Saturday.

Winning the cup was San Francisco’s Elliot Drake, who sailed in the nine-boat Laser Class. It was the second occasion in the venerable cup’s history a Laser skipper was declared regatta

champion.

A member of the Crissy Field Yacht Club, Drake posted two firsts in moderate to light breezes, then finished third in the final race before winds died.

Despite sailing in conditions that varied from

10 knots to nothing, the Laser fleet was true to its reputation of being full of skilled sailors.

They battled aggressively across the lake in a Laser light show of masterful sailing.

‘Rise & Shine’ for community cleanup Odin Rasco Staff writer

With winter’s chill in the rearview, the city of Placerville is ready for a bit of spring cleaning and city leaders are asking for the help of residents and neighbors as they prepare to hold the annual Rise & Shine Community Day of Service this Saturday.

The city’s local parks and trails are ready for some care and attention and every year the event sees hundreds of Placerville residents raking, shoveling, painting, mowing and more.

Volunteers aren’t required to have any special skills, though tools from home may come in handy. This year, the main focus will be Lions Park and Hangtown Creek.

At Lions Park, volunteer crews will spread playground bark, cut back vegetation, paint benches and bridges and generally tidy the place up. Paint and brushes will be supplied by the city.

The cleanup is set to kick off at 8 a.m. at the work sites and go until about noon. After the cleanup volunteers are invited to meet at the Gold Bug Park pavilion for a free picnic lunch.

Some volunteers will be needed to help with lunches, if someone wants to help out but isn’t as interested in tending lawns or painting.

Community members interested in getting involved are encouraged to sign up early so project leaders can plan ahead. Potential volunteers can sign up at bit.ly/PvilleRiseandShine2024.

Taylen Robert Claude Brooks

Thomas Mercer

July 5, 1957 – Sept. 7, 2023

March 3, 2003 – March 23, 2024

Taylen Robert Claude Brooks gave his life defending his brother Wyatt and himself from a mountain lion attack near Georgetown, California, on March 23, 2024.

The natural bond between the two was made stronger by the time they spent together in the great outdoors, hunting deer and turkey in season, casting for bass and trout all summer long. They lived that rarest of things in the modern era, what Teddy Roosevelt called The Strenuous Life. They ate what they bagged, and at times, bagged entirely what they ate. Right down to roasted pigeons and squirrel fricassee.

Their wonder at nature didn’t end there—at the time of the incident that took Taylen’s life, the brothers were on a National Forest Service road searching for fallen deer antlers, another pastime they shared together every spring. Taylen in particular was a master at spotting the truly difficult finds, the nubs and spikes way down deep in the grass and duff. He had an eye for the subtle, for the signs of the creatures that weren’t yet spectacular, but one day would be.

He also had an ear, for music. When he wasn’t immersed in the outdoors, Taylen was immersed in the guitar. Self-taught from a ridiculously young age, he had an intuitive understanding of how to play almost instantly what he’d just heard, no matter how technical it might be to a seasoned pro, or how impossible to the rest of us. He had speed, he had timing, he had dexterity. Like it was nothing. Van Halen and Pink Floyd, Nirvana and Pearl Jam—if he heard it, he learned it, incredibly quickly, and he could play it right back… like it was nothing. If he’d eventually wound up at Madison Square Garden, or the Royal Albert Hall, nobody would have been surprised.

Taylen grew up in the mountain foothills and vineyard country of southern El Dorado County.

He attended Pioneer Elementary School and Mountain Creek Middle School in Somerset, California, and graduated from Union Mine High School in El Dorado, California, in 2022. In addition to his guitar chops, he was noted among his classmates for being caring, compassionate, and kind.

He worked with his dad, Aaron, painting houses and cutting firewood. He also planned to pursue a license to operate heavy equipment—although he might well have become a bona fide guitar hero first.

Taylen is survived by his mother, Amanda Welsh; his father and stepmother, Aaron and Stacy (Merrill) Brooks; sister Sydney and brothers Wyatt and D.J.; grandparents Curtis and Marie Brooks of Granbury, Texas; Jeff and LaVon Stewart of Sacramento, California; Charlie and Laura Callahan of Savannah, Tennessee; Gordon and June Merrill of Mount Aukum, California; and a passel of aunts, uncles, cousins and close family friends who continue to love Taylen, and will always cherish him.

Taylen went to Heaven far too soon, but his immense bravery remains a legacy for eternity.

He’s a hero to all who had the pleasure to know him, and he’s a legend to the entire world.

A support fund has been established through the El Dorado County Community Foundation— donations can be made at https://bit.ly/ BrooksBrothersSupportFund.

Taylen’s Celebration of Life will be held at 1 p.m. on April 24, 2024, at Green Valley Community Church, 3500 Missouri Flat Road, Placerville, California.

Rhonda was born in San Jose, CA where she lived until 1941 when her family moved to Placerville. Except for a small amount of time she lived the rest of her life there. She attended Smith Flat School and El Dorado High School. She loved living in El Dorado County and had made many lifelong friends throughout the years. She will be very missed.

In loving memory of Tom Mercer, who passed away on September 7th, 2023, at home, surrounded by his family. Tom was a dedicated history and economics teacher, as well as a football, baseball, and track coach at Union Mine High School in Placerville, California, for 18 years.

Prior to that, he taught social studies and coached football at Coquille High School for 5 years in Coquille, Oregon, where he met the love of his life, Patti, and became stepfather to Megan and Amy, a role he embraced with open arms and a kind heart, enriching our lives with his love, guidance, and unwavering support.

Tom’s passion for teaching was evident in his interactions with his students, whom he cared for deeply, even if his tough exterior suggested otherwise. Beyond his professional life, Tom was a loving husband to Patti, and a kind, fun, and wonderful brother to Jim and niece and nephew Sophie and Miles. He was a beloved and cherished stepfather to Megan Gonsalves and Amy Rose, and a steadfast and supportive father-in-law to Brett Gonsalves and Milo Rose. He found his greatest joy in being Papa to Jesse, Braidan, and Ryland Gonsalves, with whom he treasured every moment.

Tom was known for his loyalty, not only to his family but also to his friends and colleagues throughout his life. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In memory of Tom Mercer, a man so dear, Whose presence brought joy, year after year.

A teacher of history, economics with grace, And a coach who led with passion, in every race.

At Union Mine High, for eighteen years he taught, Guiding students’ minds, with lessons sought.

In Coquille High prior, for five years he led, In football, inspiring, where victories spread.

Tom’s love for teaching, a flame brightly burned, In every student’s heart, a lesson learned.

He cared deeply, though his manner was tough, His dedication to education, more than enough.

A loving husband to Patti, his heart’s delight, A brother to Jim, their bond ever bright.

A beloved father figure to Megan and Amy, And a father-in-law, cherished and adored, so calmly.

But his greatest joy, in life’s rich tapestry, Was being Papa to Jesse, Braidan, and Ryland, so free.

A loyal friend and colleague, his presence a gift, In our memories forever, his spirit shall lift.

Though Tom has left us, his legacy lives on, In the lives he touched, in the lessons drawn.

For in every student, he leaves a spark, A reminder of his love, in each heart’s park.

Rest in peace, dear Tom, in heaven’s embrace, Your legacy of love, time cannot erase.

Forever remembered, in stories and in song, In our hearts, you’ll forever belong.

James A Gunn

Born in Arkansas in 1935, he migrated at a young age with his family to California, where they settled near Placerville. Jim, as he was called by those who knew him, attended El Dorado High School, where he distinguished himself in athletics, excelling in football and track and field.

Following his graduation, Jim dedicated two years of service to his country in the United States Marine Corps, stationed in Korea near the demilitarized zone. After his honorable discharge in 1956, he pursued higher education at Sacramento State University, earning master’s degrees in science and anthropology.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

CAUSES OF STAINED TEETH AND TOOTH DISCOLORATION Stained or discolored teeth can result from food and beverage choices, poor oral hygiene, tooth trauma, certain medical conditions or treatments, and more. Sometimes tooth discoloration is unavoidable, but for many people it can be controlled with good lifestyle choices. The color of stained teeth depends on the cause.

Yellow teeth result from poor oral hygiene and consuming dark foods and beverages.

Brown teeth indicate tobacco use. Red wine drinkers may have purple-tinted teeth. Grey discoloration means the tooth’s nerve has died. Black spots usually indicate areas of severe decay. Discoloration can occur on the tooth’s surface (enamel) or in the tooth’s interior (dentin).

Options for fixing stained teeth depend on the location and cause of the discoloration.

Teeth not looking their whitest? Smile not shining its brightest? Take care of your problem with a visit to our office. State-of-the-art dentistry and a dedicated professional dental team make us the ideal place to achieve optimum oral health. Let us be your gateway to a smile you will be glad to show. Comprehensive family dental care is avalable at our office, and a healthy, beautiful smile starts with a call for an appointment.

P.S. White flecks on the teeth come from dental fluorosis, a condition caused by consuming high levels of fluoride during childhood.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

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

5 injured in 3-car crash ■ Driver suspected of DUI Katelyn Welsh Tahoe Daily Tribune

The California Highway Patrol arrested 37-year-old Zachary Monroe Leconte Saturday on a felony DUI charge after a major injury, three-vehicle collision on Highway 50 west of Sierra-AtTahoe Road.

The Pollock Pines man was traveling west on Highway 50 in a 2012 Dodge van around 1 p.m. when he made an unsafe turning movement to the left on a curved portion of the road, according to a collision report from the

California Highway Patrol.

Investigating CHP officers suspect Leconte lost control of the vehicle before traveling into oncoming eastbound traffic.

That’s when he collided with a 2015 Toyota RAV4, causing it to roll over and come to a rest on the south shoulder. The driver and passenger of the Toyota, Alviso residents, sustained moderate injuries.

Following the collision with the Toyota, the Dodge continued in the eastbound lane, hitting a 2013 Honda CR-V head on.

The driver and passenger of the Honda, both 19 and San Jose residents, were seriously injured and

transported to Barton Memorial Hospital along with Leconte, who sustained minor injuries, according to information from CHP. The collision report states Leconte exhibited symptoms of alcohol intoxication. He was placed under arrest at Barton Hospital. El Dorado County Jail inmate information shows Leconte faces one felony count of drunk driving and two felony counts of inflicting great bodily injury; his bail is set at $145,000.

Information on the condition of the two 19 year olds who suffered major injuries was not available as of press time.

Teen hit on Pleasant Valley A photo shared with the Mountain Democrat shows a golf cart on Pleasant Valley Road in El Dorado where a teenage pedestrian was hit by a truck the morning of April 16.

Mountain Democrat staff A Pollock Pines teen was life-flighted to an area hospital April 16 after he was hit by a truck on Pleasant Valley Road near El Dorado.

Officials with the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol said a 17-year-old boy was struck by a Dodge Ram truck at approximately 11:30 a.m. just east of Oak Dell Road. Taking place during school hours, the location of the collision was about onehalf mile from Union Mine High School and one-quarter mile from Charles Brown Learning Academy.

The driver of the truck was also a 17-year-old.

First responders suspected the pedestrian suffered major injuries, calling an air ambulance to transport him to a regional trauma center for treatment.

The crash and possible causes remain under investigation, according to CHP officer Andrew Brown. As of press time Tuesday no further information regarding the investigation had been shared with the Mountain Democrat.

A photo shared with the newspaper shows a school campus monitor’s golf cart at the scene.

Asked why a campus monitor’s golf cart was present, El Dorado Union High School District deputy superintendent Tony DeVille shared a statement with the Mountain Democrat: “The El Dorado Union High School District’s priority is student safety. The district has a legal obligation to maintain student supervision. A situation occurred on Tuesday, April 16, during which district staff attempted to contact students to fulfill the district’s obligations to maintain student safety with proper supervision. The district will continue to fulfill its obligations to properly and safely supervise students.”

California Matters

Californians worried about crime, set the stage for a ballot measure showdown

D

emocrats completely dominate California’s state government and one aspect of that hegemony is their ability to act without compunction.

When doing whatever they want to do, Democratic officeholders don’t have to worry DAN WALTERS about competition from the state’s shriveled-up Republican Party nor, for the most part, criticism from equally shrunken political media.

Thus, the Capitol has become an echo chamber rather than a forum for forthright debate about issues.

The syndrome explains why leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, ignored indications that as California emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, law-abiding residents were becoming increasingly worried Californians about crime. The concerns arose even though once supported voters had approved two criminal justice ballot measures in the reforms to lighten previous decade to lower penalties and in 2020 penalties for crime rejected a measure to get but attitudes tougher on some crimes.

Democrats were have changed. A committed to “criminal November ballot justice reform,” which meant decreasing penalmeasure could be ties for crime, reducing a test for just how the numbers of offendmuch. ers behind bars and implicitly viewing them more as victims of an unjust society rather than victimizers.

Post-pandemic worries about crime were fueled by videos depicting brazen carjackings, home robberies and smash-and-grab assaults on stores. Just before the 2022 elections, the Public Policy Institute of California released a poll that confirmed the shift.

“Californians’ perception of crime spiked during the pandemic — as did certain types of crime,” PPIC found, adding, “Nearly 2 in 3 Californians call

SUMMARY

■ See WALTERS, page A5

Letters to the Editor Same tired arguments EDITOR: cott Taylor’s recent letter, despite being long, basically boiled down to just two main points: Biden is great; it’s too bad he’s not 15 years younger and Trump is racist.

First, Biden was never the sharpest tool in the shed. He plagiarized his way through school and even Obama said to never underestimate Joe’s ability to screw things up. Biden’s corruption is not a recent phenomenon. It goes clear back the the MBNA credit card scandal.

But worse than that is his support of the biggest cross-border invasion of illegals, drug traffickers, spies, terrorists and human traffickers in our history. And why did he do that? Just part of an effort to give the Democrats total political control of the country for years to come.

Mr. Taylor seems, as do others, to believe his left wing policies are so important that if selling out the country is necessary to achieve them, then so be it.

Next, Mr. Taylor plays the tried-and-true race card. Trump is a racist because he opposed the drug dealers, terrorists, human traffickers, murderers, gang members and hoards carrying diseases like tuberculosis, which has moved as far as Chicago where illegals have brought an outbreak of that disease. What is it, Mr. Taylor, do you have quotas as to how many murders, rapes, drug deaths and gang atrocities each race should be allowed before they can be called out on it?

GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Get this country back on track EDITOR:

M

r. Taylor, I wanted a clear definition of democracy and it says all the things Trump is fighting for. You say if Trump gets back in office democracy will be in danger. I’d say it has been in danger these past three years.

How can you say Trump wants to be a dictator?

When Biden speaks to us he is constantly yelling.

We all know he isn’t running our country. Why is it that unless you have millions of dollars you can’t run in an election? Doesn’t seem fair. Who do you really want to run our country? Do you really think Biden is a leader? He has followed and lied

his way up the political ladder for almost 50 years.

Some of his stories he likes to tell are mainly untrue.

And why hasn’t Hunter’s laptop been figured out yet? Why haven’t they brought up the money he brought to the Biden family?

Do you not think Biden is not taking that power grab you mention? Trump hasn’t been held accountable for Jan 6th because they are finding there was lots of information withheld in regards to the “insurrection.” To overthrow a government, you’d think there would have been weapons brought and a better plan. That was a protest.

What about all the protests with BLM, Antifa and others? You forget they took over and burnt down a police station, police cars, personal properties.

I do know if Biden was a true Catholic he wouldn’t be campaigning for abortions. How do he and the Pope sleep at night? Why does Biden get a pass on that?

We all see Joe is having a hard time getting around and is directed on what to say. Oh, and if he says too much he will get in trouble. His words, not mine.

Our allies and enemies are laughing at us.

Four years ago I’d say we were in pretty good hands, also going along pretty smoothly and then COVID. That was the plan all along. Can we really trust Fauci? He made a lot of money from the pandemic.

Whatever Trump can do to fix our country will be a hell of a lot more than what Biden has done in the past three years. I can remember when Democrats were the working party. What happened? Everyone now has their hands out, and who is paying out the money? Do you really think we can withstand any longer what has been happening for the past three years? Our country is turning into a third world country. Is that what you want?

Why is the border not closed? Why do we keep sending money overseas when our country can’t take care of its own people?

Trump would have these other countries paying their share; that’s for sure. I guess we’ll just have to wait until November and see how many smart people there really are.

The lesson from the Trump regime teaches that the best policy for stability is strength, engagement and clarity about right and wrong — exactly the opposite of we are getting from Biden.

In August 2018, the Trump administration announced cut off of $200 million in aid to the Palestinians, citing as one reason activities and influence of the terrorist group Hamas.

In September 2018, Trump ordered the closing of the office in Washington, D.C., of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

And then, in January 2020, Trump directed the assassination of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, deemed responsible for attacks resulting in the death of an American contractor.

In September 2020, Trump presided over the signing of the historic Abraham Accords, which I also had the privilege to attend, achieving peace between Israel and three Arab nations — United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.

Reports are that cooperation with these Arab states provided vital intelligence that helped defer the massive Iranian attack on Israel.

In less than four years, Trump changed the face of the Middle East — the most challenging diplomatic terrain in the world — for the better.

All without violence or aggression.

In 2021, Joe Biden took over the presidency.

Soon, the $200 million in Palestinian aid was restored. Then Biden allowed waivers on the sanctions on Iran, releasing multibillions in cashflow to them.

And here we are now, amid of new flood of instability and violence, wondering how far this dangerous situation will deteriorate.

It seems clear Trump is totally justified in his claim we would not have today’s turmoil if he still held office.

opposite of we are getting from Biden.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson is now trying to advance a package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The version passed in Senate totals $95 billion.

Let’s note that the price of oil is up $30 per barrel since Biden took office. This costs U.S. consumers annually some $200 billion.

What’s the price of peace? Is it worth $95 billion?

Johnson should provide the same leadership as Trump provided over his four years by guiding through this aid package. The world is small and evil forces are clearly aggressive. The lesson of the Biden administration is that there is no escape from passivity in the face of evil.

The city of South Lake Tahoe was awarded California’s Prohousing Designation for efforts to encourage development of housing at all income levels. The announcement was made Friday, April 19,

by Gov. Gavin Newsom that this designation has been granted for the city’s commitment to proactively minimize obstacles, accelerate housing, increase availability of affordable housing and combat homelessness.

The Prohousing Designation also recognizes local governments actively working to implement state housing laws, follow best practices and go above and beyond those minimum requirements.

Furthermore, they reward jurisdictions that are working to cut the

red tape, reduce development costs and create housing policies that foster housing choice and opportunity while scaling up innovative efforts.

By earning the Prohousing Designation, the city will receive exclusive access to Prohousing grants and additional points in the scoring of competitive housing, community development and infrastructure funding programs administered by the state Department of Housing and Community Development. This includes the Prohousing Incentive Program, a grant program designed to accelerate affordable housing production and support preservation efforts.

The dedication of the South Lake Tahoe City Council and commitment to priorities

outlined in its five-year strategic plan has played a key role in the delivery of affordable housing.

A robust set of housing programs are underway to address the spectrum of housing needs within the city. Additionally, by adopting a compliant Housing Element, the City Council has adopted numerous policies that seek to advance the development of affordable housing. The City Council has also taken additional actions that streamline zoning and land use planning, accelerate production, reduce costs and provide financial subsidies for housing projects.

“We are excited to receive the Prohousing Designation and recognition from the state of California for the efforts the city is making to address the housing crisis,” said Mayor Cody Bass.

Biomass

COMICS

Continued from A1

known. While no official plans are set in stone, a March 14 informational meeting revealed to residents more ideas for the project. According to residents who attended the meeting, county staff and Turnboo have been making plans to place such a facility on 17 acres of U.S. Forest Service land on String Canyon Road, which is adjacent to the site of Walt Tyler Elementary School and the proposed community center.

Also discussed for that area was a portable sawmill and a nursery.

Residents expressed concern over the county’s lack of transparency regarding the biomass facility. Mark Almer, a Grizzly Flat resident and founding member of the Grizzly Flat Fire Safe Council, said only a few people were invited to the March 14 meeting.

“The only informational meeting (that occurred) we found out by mistake,” Almer said. “That was it. The community was never included in this.”

A petition objecting to the biomass project was signed by nearly 100 Grizzly Flat area residents. One of the biggest concerns is that the biomass facility would go in next to homes.

“The county’s proposed location for this biomass facility is in the heart of a residential neighborhood, adjacent to small residential lots and is not appropriate for our community,” Almer said. “This facility should be located in an area that is already

zoned for industrial use and away from residential neighborhoods.

The negative aspects far outweigh any potential benefits.”

Residents also think project impacts will include potential health hazards, pollution, noise and truck traffic.

“Right now if you look up we have a clear day, the sky is so blue that it’s almost scary. Last night when I went to bed I was in a room that was close to the street Not only was it completely dark, but it was so quiet. That is why I moved up there in the first place and now you want to take that away,” said Eileen Strangfeld, a Grizzly Flat resident who lives off String Canyon Road.

“I don’t like the idea that there’s going to be particulates in the air.

Part of the reason we moved to Grizzly Flat in the first place was for the clean air and the clean water. That would be taken away if the biomass plant goes in.”

Waste-to-energy company Gold Seal Industries is set to construct a portable anhydrous pyrolysis facility that will convert excess biomass into liquid biofuel on Eldorado National Forest land near Grizzly Flat; it is expected to begin operation as soon as August.

A handful of Grizzly Flat residents spoke during the public forum portion of an April 2 Board of Supervisors meeting, expressing their opposition.

Turnboo responded,

Mountain Democrat Wednesday, April 24, 2024 A7

stating the facility would produce zero emissions like the one built in Plumas County after the 2021 Dixie Fire.

“The California Air Resources Board approved these biomass facilities because they have to inspect all those emissions that come out of it anyway,” Turnboo said. “There’s zero emissions and zero noise and I put a lot of this (information) out there, but you didn’t do the research.”

Turnboo explained it was a “vision” he had. No official plans have been presented to county leaders yet and nothing has been approved.

“The thing is, you guys think it was all said and done,” Turnboo said. “It was a vision I had … a vision to help your community.

“The problem is in two years you will not be able to burn out there in Grizzly Flat, so what are you going to do with your green waste and what are you going to do with all that waste from the fire?” Turnboo asked residents.

Almer and other residents said they were unaware that burning would be cut off in the next two years and have not received any notice in print from either the state or the county.

Inquiries regarding if Turnboo plans to pursue the project further, or why burning in Grizzly Flat would be suspended, were not responded to as of press time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t overthink it -- finding fun is really quite simple. Bring back the enjoyment by remembering the last thing that gave it to you. Seed whatever that was with more attention, investment and playfulness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re unique, and your approach to life cannot be replicated. It doesn’t mean you have to take on the biggest goals and most remarkable endeavors. Think: small things, big heart. Life will be sweeter taken one bite at a time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your very presence seems to awaken the emotional intelligence in others. They’ll show you their brightest insights and moods, and yours improves with every interaction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your self-talk is a habit of mind that influences your behavior, mood and energy levels more than you might realize. Today, you make it fun inside the playground that is your mind, and you even have private jokes between you and you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Hyperbole can hurt or help things. Nothing “always” happens or “never” happens, and these might be unhelpful phrases. But it’s very nice to know that someone loves you “to the moon and back” or that you’re the “absolute best.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you’re not sure if an endeavor aligns with your values, it will be pretty evident by the way you feel. Does the job tire you? Does the relationship take more energy than you’d like? You embody

your values effortlessly, paving the path for success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s an influx of fresh excitement to energize your work. It may be slightly stressful, especially because you’ll be working with people who have a different style from yours, but don’t worry -- with awareness, you’ll learn one another.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take on more than you think you can handle because you’ll grow into whatever you choose. Do make sure you like the way it looks on the model first because that’s how you’ll wear it, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What seems common to you is not at all to others, and its rarity can attract attention, admiration or envy. To avoid stirring up unwanted drama, keep your treasures hidden until the time is right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a feeling things will go right, and the best part is, you’re able to hold, at the very same time, a sense of gratitude, knowing that everything you count on in life is a gift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Share your appreciation in words and in the gestures that matter to others. It may mean taking the survey. So often the satisfied customers go silently on their way and only the unhappy ones speak up. Your sharing will make a difference.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The paradox of love is, even though love lasts, its moments also rush by.

Holding onto it is like grasping at water. The essence and beauty of water is flow. .

Camellia Cup skippers were challenged by winds that varied from 10 knots to nothing.

Camellia Cup

Mountain Democrat Wednesday, April 24, 2024 A9

Continued from A1

At the starting line in the first race, the Laser fleet forced Santa Rosa sailor Courtney Clamp of the Richmond Yacht Club over early, but she recovered and came back to take third.

Hanging tight with Drake throughout the regatta was San Jose’s Toshinari Takayanagi of RYC, who was second in the first two races and nipped Drake for first in the final of three races sailed by the Lasers.

Takayanagi’s heroics were too little and too late to prevent Drake from getting his name engraved on the Centerboard Perpetual Trophy and Camellia Cup. The Keelboat champion was FLYC’s Gary Preston of Sacramento, whose Hunter 270 crew noticed a late change of course shortly before the start of the second race and sailed a reaching course in a fresh breeze to the southwest, while then-Keelboat leader FLYC’s Phil Hodgson from Rescue, on a Wavelength 24, missed the course change and

charged in brisk breezes toward the wrong mark.

By the time Hodgson noticed his error it was too late, as the shifting winds had weakened and he was too far the wrong way to get back and overtake Preston.

The Multihull champion was Granite Bay’s Jon Kim, sailing his Corsair F24 with no competition.

Winner of the fourboat, Open Keel blue fleet was Gold Country Yacht Club’s Don Hare on a Catalina 22 from Roseville.

The Open Centerboard Class winner was Granite Bay’s Douglas McWilliams, sailing a Flying Dutchman and representing the Lake Washington Sailing Club.

Finishing atop the five-boat Banshee Class was El Dorado Hills’ Kerry Johnson of FLYC, who traded races with Folsom’s Jeff Nelson of FLYC who was leading in the third race and only 30 yards from the finish line when the race’s two-hour time

limit expired.

Soon after the start of the third race “the wind shut off like a switch,” said FLYC race officer Mark Werder.

He held the other fleets were “hoping for wind that never came,” then watched the Banshees struggle back toward the finish line in a drifter where winds “never returned.”

Twenty-six sailboats competed in six classes in the 57th Camellia Cup, the longest-running sailboat regatta in the Sacramento Valley.

A smaller version of Camellia Cup is run by the Sacramento Model Yacht Club, competing with 8.5-foot-long replicas of America’s Cup J-Class yachts of the 1930s.

This year’s Model Yacht CamCup was moved to Bridgeway Lakes in West Sacramento due to high water on Folsom Lake.

Winning the fifth running of the model yacht version of the CamCup, during 10 races held in fresh breezes, was Paul Brown of Elk Grove.

Major league pitchers throw a baseball nearly 100 miles per hour, giving a batter a fraction of a second to swing at the pitch.

But pitchers use the science of aerodynamics to make the ball even harder to hit.

Gravity is always pulling a baseball downward once it’s thrown. Pitchers grip the ball in different ways to create spin. Air traveling above the ball is forced downward by the spin, and the air below it creates lift.

Distance from pitcher’s mound to home plate: 60 feet, 6 inches During the last 15 feet of the ball’s journey, it begins to curve downward or sometimes to the left or right, depending on the type of pitch. The batter must begin swinging before the ball begins to curve. It’s not easy to be a big league hitter!

he second annual Golden Road Gathering of musicians and family activities will hit the El Dorado County Fair and Event Center May 17-19.

The three-day event will feature music

by Railroad Revue with Lindsay Lou, Little Hurricane, Ryder Thieves, Red Dirt Ruckus and more.

Established last year through the efforts of Adam Northway, Ryan Kronnenberg and Justin Boyd, the event this year will add fun family features such as gold panning, along with arts, crafts and education about gold country history.

These efforts will be provided through a partnership with the Gold Discovery Park Association.

“All of this is definitely part of The Golden Road experience,” said partner Boyd, owner of Marco’s Cafe. “This year we are bringing in a kids musical showcase to highlight some of the local kids’ talent.

This will be hosted by local music teacher Lisa ‘Doublebow’ Bond of Red Dirt Ruckus, and presented by The Green Room Social Club.”

An original producer of Hangtown Halloween Festival along with partner Northway, Kronenberg explained that Hangtown and Dry Diggins moved to Grass Valley two years ago after being purchased by High Sierra Music.

Focusing on the music is Kronenberg’s avocation and vocation. He owns Bluebird Tahoe LLC and Soultime Sound, for which he is the audio engineer. He has worked with Scotty Sloughton promoting and producing WinterWonderGrass, as well as a founder and partner of BackCountry Festival and Bluegrass and Beyond.

“I would say The Golden Road Gathering is definitely a replacement for Hangtown, but with a fresh spring twist and less bluegrass,” said Boyd, last year of the first Golden Road Gathing. “I have talked to so many people in this area who felt abandoned by Hangtown leaving and Dry Diggins, that there was this space that needed to be filled.”

The Kid’s Expo will have fun activites for the little ones and great information for parents and guardians.

Boyd

atalyst Community, formerly known as Choices for Children, the local Child Care Resource and Referral agency serving El Dorado County since 1976, presents the 39th annual Kid’s Expo on April 27 at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.

This popular event was started in 1984 as a celebration of the Month of the Young Child and has grown to be El Dorado County’s largest collaborative children’s event. Parents who once attended the event as children are now bringing their own children to share in this amazing community event. Whether it be to sit behind the wheel of a fire truck, spin prize wheels or get their face painted, families and children can participate in a wide variety of creative activities while learning about community services, educational programs, businesses and extra-curricular activities.

Kid’s Expo would not be possible without the generous support of the community. Local agencies and organizations provide sponsorships or purchase booth spaces that each offer a children’s hands-on activity which makes this event one of a kind. It’s the perfect opportunity for family-oriented agencies and businesses to share information about their offerings and resources all while spending a fun day interacting with families in the community.

Admission is free. The expo takes place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville.

feature over 20 performers, as well as vendors, wellness workshops and special musical events for kids. Visit GoldenRoadGathering.com for more details.

Golden Road Gathering, with its dual focus on Gold Country, the namesake for the festival, and vibrant, communal experiences of music, is of a piece with Justin’s life and work. Born and raised in El Dorado County, Justin began spending his summers on the American River while attending El Dorado High School and in the following years he performed river rescues and worked as a kayak instructor and whitewater photographer.

“I’ve always had a deep connection with the river,” he explained.

When he had the opportunity to purchase Marcos Café, an institution in the Coloma-Lotus community, he saw it as a chance to serve the community he loves. “Coloma-Lotus is a special place. It’s the junction between all these little towns around here, where there aren’t always the same opportunities that you have in cities. I think that makes it even more important to have a community space where people are free to express themselves.”

Gathering

Over the years Justin steadily increased the number of musical acts at Marcos until the café was hosting performers nearly every night. The performances were free and the artists were often local acts looking to get their start. “People treasure Marcos,” Justin said. “I know that music heals people. It’s something that’s good for everyone.”

In 2023 Justin and his wife, Veronica, were forced to close the old Marcos location, but instead of scaling back their activities, they expanded them.

Serving their signature pizza out of a food truck complete with a wood-fired oven, Marcos took its shows on the road.

Among many other events at wineries like Hart 2 Hart and David Girard Vineyards and at venues like the Coloma Grange, Justin organized a concert series, Concerts for a Cause, at Wakamatsu Farm.

Proceeds from the concert benefited the American River Conservancy’s Resilience Fund. With the smell of pizza, strains of music and the happy chatter of concertgoers mingling in the summer air, Concerts for a Cause recalled the atmosphere of an evening at Marcos Café.

Avid gardeners and organic food aficionados, Justin and Veronica also helped organize the

Coloma Community Market with the Gold Discovery Park Association. The year-round farmers market is held the second and fourth Saturdays and features live music, especially “local acts that don’t mind playing with no stage, outdoors in the dirt,” Justin explained. “There’s a lot of momentum. It’s been a wild, exciting ride going from being a seasonal business for 15 years to having all of these new things happening.”

Marcos will continue to use the mobile pizza kitchen for events in the area, but the proprietors are also reestablishing a brick-and-mortar — or, in this case, wood-and-white paint — location: Marcos Café at the Lotus Store, walking distance from Lotus Park. From the Lotus Store, Marcos will sell pizza, ice cream, drinks and grab-and-go offerings, taking advantage of its close proximity to the park and the river. It also gives Justin a chance to work in a bigger kitchen, where he can fine tune the food that fuels the music.

“There’s an art to pizza. I would say I’ve been almost obsessed with dough-making,” Justin said with a laugh.

The full schedule of Marcos Mobile Events can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

and Julie Stanley handles social media.

In keeping with a diverse group of musicians, this year’s festival will provide entertainment from internationally known groups as well as local favorites.

Fruition headlines Friday’s opening along with Dirtwire.

Fruition’s popularity has grown over the past few years and it is considered “the top alternative in the 2024 music scene.” The name refers to “the state of bearing fruit,” “enjoyment” and “realization.” The band has been featured in a variety of previous festivals, including WinterWonderGrass.

Dirtwire is an American band based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The group began as a duo in 2012 with Evan Fraser and David Satori, adding Mark Reveley in 2016. They met at the California Institute of Arts.

All three musicians are said to play uncommon musical instruments from around the world, even incorporating a toy megaphone into their genre. Instruments such as the Siberian ghost catcher mouth bow and Zimbabwean thumb piano give the band its self-described “swamptronica” sound.

Moontricks also plays Friday, as well as the Late Night lineup. Out of the Kootenay Mountains of Western Canada, Nathan Gurley and Sean Rodman are said to draw their inspiration for their music from the ongoing cycles of the natural world.

They mix folk, roots rock and oldtime blues with modern electronic elements. Their debut single, “Home,” released in 2013, reached more than 5 million streaming plays. The duo released a debut album, “Currents,” in 2022, as an honor to the cycles of nature which carry the world forward despite surrounding and internal chaos.

Lotus, playing Saturday, is an instrumental electronic jam band formed in Indiana in 1998 and is now based in Philadelphia, Penn., and Denver, Colo. The band is known for concerts with complex light setups and themes.

The musicians of Lotus performed shows highlighting artists in the “27 conspiracy,” with each of the five members dressing up as a rock star who died at the age of 27, including Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones), Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (The Grateful

Golden Road has a stage for kids Announcing the first Kids Music Showcase at the Golden Road Gathering Music Festival at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.

This unique performance opportunity is for children ages 7-18.

“Supporting our future talent is a great addition to The Golden Road Gathering,” said Justin Boyd, El Dorado County local and one of the original founders of the festival. “Encouraging youth and building confidence is a positive way to give back to the community.”

The project is the idea of local music teacher and member of Red Dirt Ruckus, Lisa Bond. “I was extremely shy growing up and had terrible stage fright,” Bond said. “I started performing at a very young age and with so many amazing opportunities and growth, you can’t get me off the stage now.“ Courtesy photo

Ryder Thieves will get the crowd moving at next month’s Golden Road Gathering.

Top three winners in each age category will have an opportunity to perform at the festival.

Age groups: 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, 16-18.

Dead) and Jim Morrison (The Doors).

The show featured covers by each of the respective bands.

They have also performed shows with robot themed covers, David Bowie characters (including Ziggy Stardust, Thin White Duke and Jareth), a Black Sabbath themed show, as well as paid tribute to video game music. In April 2021, at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colo., Lotus’ performance marked the first major show at Red Rocks following the COVID-19 shutdown. The band leans heavily on the sounds of funk, rock and jazz with improvisational styles similar to Phish, The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead.

The Nipper Brothers, a Grateful Dead cover band, is one local favorite sure to draw quite a crowd. See the group on stage Saturday. Brothers Joe and Scott have been playing music together and separately for the past 50 years. They are Sacramento-based and create beautiful harmonies, providing the feel of being at a Dead show.

The Polyrhythmics also will hit this year’s Golden Road Gathering stage on Saturday. The band’s sound originated in the underground funk scene of Seattle combining tight grooves with bold brass and incredible

percussions that showcase elements of progressive jazz, Afrobeat and R&B. The band is now in its 13th year as a recording project and touring ensemble, producing six full-length albums, several EPs and live releases.

Band members are Ben Bloom on guitars; Grant Schroff on drums, Nathan Spicer, keys; Jason Gray, bass; Scott Morning, trumpet; Elijah Clark, trombone; and Art Brown, saxophone and flute. With that much brass, there’s bound to be some psychfunk filling the air with an impending mood of uncertainty and sonic palette.

Railroad Revue with Lindsay Lou headlines The Golden Road Gathering on Sunday, ending the festival on a high note while Railroad Earth member Todd Sheaffer attends to a health issue. Combining elements of folk, rock, country, Celtic, jazz and progressive bluegrass, Railroad Earth is recognized as “carrying on the tradition of improvisational, genrespanning music laid forth by the Grateful Dead.”

Red Dirt Ruckus and Little Hurricane are fast becoming El Dorado County local favorites. The music of Red Dirt Ruckus sports additional brass for the day and Grateful Dead covers. Listen for new versions of songs such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” a Little Hurricane

rewrite sure to please.

Ryder Thieves, KNUF, and Lantz Lazwell also fill out some local musical color for the festival. Each of those bands play Saturday.

Partnering with Visit El Dorado and Tributary Rafting, the event will showcase more of El Dorado County to visitors, including an option to extend the three-day event on a rafting trip on one of the nearby American River forks.

The music begins on Friday, May 17, and continues through Sunday, May 19. The three-day event will feature three days of music, multiple stages, camping, heath and wellness workshops, kids’ zone, crafts vendors, food vendors, craft beer, craft cocktails and fun in the Sierra foothills.

Bluegrass quintet to perform intimate concert Paul Emery Presents News release

N

Courtesy photo

Pillars of the West Coast music scene, Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms perform songs that help listeners let life’s worries get carried away.

EVADA CITY — Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms of the Foghorn String Band bring their new bluegrass quintet to the Besemer Concert Hall on April 26.

Klauder and Willms both originally hail from Washington State: Caleb from the coastal San Juan Islands and Reeb from the high desert plateau of Douglas County. The two have come together in music and are hailed as some of the most compelling musicians making country and bluegrass roots music in America today. Their music lets listeners immerse themselves in the melody and story of a song until all other cares of life fade away.

These two have long been at the heart of the Pacific Northwest music scene, with an eye toward good times and an ear toward the deepest songs and tunes, quietly pursuing a music vision without much care for what’s expected or in vogue at the time.

There’s a lot to admire in this singular perseverance and honesty.

For the last few years they have been building a venerable bluegrass band to take on the road. The band is a cast of

West Coast all-stars made up of: Zach Sharpe on upright bass (The Bowties), Jack Kinney on banjo (The Bowties, Central Valley Boys) and Brandon Godman on fiddle (Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands), all deeply a part of the strong fabric of the California bluegrass scene.

Klauder and Willms work intuitively, bringing the spirit of legendary country duos to the stage.

The blend of true harmonies, sharplywritten songs, and the un-showy authenticity strike a rich vein that embodies the soulfulness of harddriving early bluegrass while standing firmly in the present day. Pillars of the West Coast music scene, they carry the torch of their music around the world, and can be found touring as a duo, as well as with the Foghorn String Band, and the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band. When these two sing together, their honest incantations leave listeners spellbound and smiling.

For more information visit calebklauder.com.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, April 26, Besemer Concert Hall, 11417 Red Dog Road in Nevada City. For tickets and more details visit paulemerymusic.com.

RASS VALLEY — The Center for the Arts presents Brett Dennen in the Marisa Funk Theater on April 25.

Dennen first garnered attention in 2004 after his single “Desert Sunrise” earned significant airplay on Santa Monica-based public radio station KCRW. Dennen’s selftitled debut followed in 2005, subsequently earning the singer/ songwriter a record deal with Dualtone Music Group. His sophomore effort, “So Much More,” was released in 2006.

Two years later Dennen released “Hope For The Hopeless,” cracking the Top 50 on the Billboard 200.

Dennen is more than a world-renowned singer/songwriter; he is an outdoorsman, and environmentalist who has nurtured the seed of creativity since childhood. His parents encouraged expression through creativity as well as the idea of supporting his community through volunteer work. He has since used his music as a connector to inspire those who want to do good and create change in the world. He has toured extensively across the U.S. with his band (including drummer Randy Schwartz), supporting musicians such as John Mayer, guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, Dave Matthews Band, Pete Murray and

ALSO ON THE NEW SONGS FEST STAGE April 26: Rufus Wainwright with Royal Wood opening Praised by the New York Times for “genuine originality,” Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation. The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released 10 studio albums to date, three DVDs and three live albums. He has written two operas, numerous songs for movies and TV, and is currently working on his first musical for the West End and a requiem.

April 27: Ayla Nereo with HoneyWild opening Nereo is a singer, composer, producer, dancer and visual-poetry creator raised among the Northern California forests and rivers. Called a “bridger of sound,” Nereo dances between timeless and modern, with a particular joy for cross-pollinating musical styles. Her songs seem a genre unto their own, as she moves between vocal looping, produced beats, live drumming, orchestral string arrangements, Celtic melodies, disco rhythms, electronic soundscapes, and even dashes of hip-hop wordplay. Having an uncanny ability to crack open the heart, Nereo’s music is an ode to the wonder of being human, inviting us deeper into the exquisite and innately psychedelic dream of this moment.

April 28: New Songs Stage Time with Rita Hosking In a wavy world where we often struggle to swim, singer-songwriter Hosking paddles up and canoes us through black holes, sinks of dirty dishes, demo-derbies, and wildfires until we’re safe at shore. She’s got the spirit, and she knows how to reach ours through her grace, heart, chops, and spunk. With award-winning music spanning nine albums and 20 years of touring, this country-folk troubadour is a heavy hitter in the Northern California songwriting scene.

Michael Franti.

As a young man in Northern California, Dennen’s passion for environmental conservation and his outrage at injustice led him to work as a camp counselor for at-risk youth. There, he used music as a teaching tool. Through song he could pull different demographics of kids together and he could communicate differently with those who had trouble finding their own words.

Dennen’s performance is part of the second annual songwriting festival, New Songs Fest, April 25-28.

On April 25, New Songs Fest attendees will enjoy a live Q&A session with Dennen in the Off Center Stage.

This very special Q&A from Brett, along with tickets to the weekend’s concerts (Ayla Nereo, Dennen and Rufus Wainwright) is all included in the New Songs Fest weekend pass.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at The Center for the Arts, 314 West Main St. in Grass Valley. For tickets and more information visit thecenterforthearts.org or call (530) 274-8384.

Singer-songwriter brings show to Miners Foundry Eileen Mello

Miners Foundry Cultural Center

N

EVADA CITY — The Miners Foundry Cultural Center presents Eilen Jewell on April 25. The Nevada City show follows the release of Jewell’s ninth studio album, “Get Behind the Wheel.” and a busy world tour in 2023.

With her sultry vocals, emotionally intense compositions and beats, Jewell has consistently asserted a contemporary flair while borrowing from and reconfiguring traditional templates. Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Jewell plays a mix of Americana, blues, country, folk, gospel and honky tonk. She counts among her influences Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Lucinda Williams, Hank Williams, Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith.

“I’ve always been obsessed with music from a very early age,” said Jewell, who started playing piano at age 7. She recalled the first time she heard Bob Dylan’s “Bootleg Series.”

She was 15 and on a road trip with her family to Yellowstone. Her dad played the newly released cassette for days on end. While her brother felt tortured, Jewell was hooked for life.

“I was in heaven, and I just thought it was fascinating,” she said, recalling how she wanted to learn more about Woody Guthrie.

Eilen Jewell brings her latest tour to Northern California, performing this Thursday in Nevada City.

“That launched me on this whole adventure that I’m still on. I love learning about the crossroads of different styles of music,” she shared.

One thing led to another and soon Jewell went from playing with friends to performing at farmers markets and open mic nights to forming a full-fledged band. She could not believe her good fortune when she had the chance to open up for one of her music idols, Loretta Lynn, at the historical Calvin Theatre

in Western Massachusetts.

“It was surreal,” said Jewell.

In 2010 Jewell released a tribute album of Loretta Lynn cover songs called “Butcher Holler” and this year will re-release the album with new material and special bonus tracks in memory of the country music legend who died in 2022. “Butcher Hollow,” commonly pronounced “Butcher Holler,” was the birthplace of Lynn.

Hailed as “one of America’s most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic

Premier Business Directory

voices” by American Songwriter, Jewell has built her career the old fashioned way, touring relentlessly with the kind of undeniable live show that converts the uninitiated into instant acolytes.

Over the course of nearly two decades on the road, the Idaho native has crisscrossed the U.S., Europe and Australia countless times, playing an endless series of headline and festival dates in addition to sharing bills with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Mavis Staples, Wanda Jackson, George Jones, Emmylou Harris and The Blind Boys of Alabama.

Rolling Stone lauded Jewell’s “clever writing,” while NPR declared that she has a “sweet and clear voice with a killer instinct lurking beneath the shiny surface.”

Touring since 2006, Jewell is eager to get out in front of live audiences again, starting with the Nevada City show.

“It’s a big part of my everything. It’s a great way to get out in the world and get our music into the hands of new people. We have friends all over the world, and we’re so excited to see them again,” said Jewell.

The door and bar opens at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, at Miners Foundry Cultural Center, 325 Spring St. in Nevada City. For tickets and more information visit minersfoundry.org.

he Mountain Democrat’s Newspapers in Education program (NIE) was established in 2002 to provide and educational service arm for the newspaper.

NIE’s goal is to assist schools, teachers and parents in developing future readers who can use the newspaper to enrich their own lives and participate responsibly in their community, state and nation.

Not only does the Mountain Democrat provide valuable information on a wide range of topics daily, it also can be used as a resource for teaching numerous skills to various age groups and in many different disciplines. It helps students connect classroom lessons to the real world around them and develop a positive and

relevant lifetime reading habit. A study released by the Newspaper Association of America Foundation shows data indicating students in NIE programs do 10 percent better on standardized tests and that significant increases in student performances occur, especially in middle schools.

Donations from our sponsors allow our educators to order the newspaper for their classrooms free of charge. These sponsorships contribute to literacy and allow thousands of teachers and students in El Dorado County to learn from a living textbook, the Mountain Democrat, and develop a life-long reading habit that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Please show these sponsors your support for the program by patronizing their businesses.

THE PETITION for probate requests that ANNETTE HENKE 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 6, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 9 at 3321 Cameron Park Dr., 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.

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, (877) 518-5700 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.realtybid. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 23-06583CA. 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 (877) 518-5700, or visit this internet website www.realtybid.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-06583CA 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.

File No.:23-06583CA 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 total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 274,497.81.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https:// www.altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2023-01533-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.

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.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.
