CPCSD budget is approved n
COVID-19 impacts unknown
Jana Rossi Staff writer The Cameron Park Community Services District Board of Directors approved a $6.7 million preliminary 2020-21 budget at its June 17 meeting. The budget calls for $6,700,460 in expenditures with $6,697,417 in anticipated revenue. Cost-cutting measures implemented in the current fiscal year — closure of the swimming lagoon at Cameron Park Lake, using alternative funding and expenditure reductions in the Weed Abatement Ordinance Program and changes to the recreation program’s fee structure — will continue to keep district expenses down. The board last year had also called for changes to make the annual Summer Spectacular event cost neutral. Last year staff nearly achieved that goal; 2019 event revenues totaled $57,413 and expenditures totaled $58,249.76, resulting in a net cost to the district of just $836.76, according to a staff report presented last fall. This year’s spectacular was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Salary and benefit expenses are expected to go up next fiscal year in part due to a 3.5% wage/salary increase due to compaction related to minimum wage increases (which was not addressed in the past two years) as well as a negotiated 4% salary increase in the newest labor agreement. In 2019-20 the CSD is expected to end the fiscal year with cost savings in salaries/benefits of more that $47,500, according to the staff report. CPCSD General Manager Jill Ritzman said the 2019-20 savings are in part due to furloughs and layoffs related to the pandemic. In the coming fiscal year the district will eliminate part-time hours and reduce overtime to save money on salaries/benefits, the report states. Other COVID-19 related budget hits are “unknown at this time,” Ritzman said. “We will be discussing that,” she said. The preliminary budget lists the impact of COVID-19 as: loss of revenues from service and program fees and increased costs to respond such as purchasing personal protective equipment, increased cleaning and sanitation and IT costs associated with employees working from home and the district hosting virtual public meetings. “District staff is responding to the potential loss of revenues by reducing payroll expenses, reducing costs to essential supplies only and registering

Donald George Morley
Aug. 12, 1931-July 3, 2020 Don was born Aug. 12, 1931, at Sioux City, Iowa to Lewis and Marguerite (Beedle) Morley. He attended schools in Sioux City and graduated from East High School. Immediately after graduation he joined the United States Navy and was stationed on the LST, which he loved. After his tour of duty he attended Iowa State University. After that, he went to work in Sioux City for an HVAC company. He then apprenticed with the local sheet metal workers’ union and became a journeyman sheet metal worker. After moving to Southern California, he was with the Union in Orange County where he was elected president of Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 420 and went on to be elected business representative. He was a proud union member for a great many years. When he retired, he and his wife moved to property in Camino, Calif., where they built the first all metal framed home in the county. They lived there for 19 wonderful years, eventually downsizing and moving into Placerville, Calif. Don was a member of St. Patrick Parish where he served as a president of the Parish Council, was an eucharistic minister, and belonged to the Knights of Columbus 3rd Degree Council No. 6322. He was also a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus Golden Sierra Assembly No. 3345. He was also a proud member of the Knights Color Guard. Don is survived by a brother, Edwin Richard; wife, Doris; son, Craig Michael; daughter, Jodi Ann; step-son, Stephen (Chris) Christopher Katko; step-daughter, Kara Ellen Katko; grandson, Scott Andrew Morley; granddaughter, Vanessa Lee Morley; great-granddaughters, Kylie, Schyler and Michaela; and many nieces and nephews. Don was a much loved man full of life and laughter and it is with heavy hearts we give him back to God. Arrangements have been entrusted to Chapel of the Pines.
David Lee Viekko
Oct. 29, 1945-June 18, 2020 Certified ladies’ man, Harley guy, musician, comedian, intellect, single father and someone you didn’t want to mess with. You passed on to us some great things like a love of nature, a good sense of humor and a love of music. Some great memories we have were spending summer days at Twin Bridges river swimming, while Dad drank beers, smoked weed and picked up ladies. He had a few staple jokes that are forever burned in our brains, 2:30, goat head and you can tune a guitar, but you can’t tuna fish. Women were his ultimate weakness and obsession. He would see a pretty woman walking down the street, stop in the middle of the road and yell, “Are you looking for me?� or if the waitress was cute, at the end of the meal she would ask, “Do you need anything else?� he’d reply, “Your home phone number if you’re single.� We also have good memories of him playing guitar at the local bars, and we would back him up with maracas and tambourine. When he was happy he was a force to be reckoned with, a beam of light that everyone wanted to be around. There was also a dark side; he was dealt a terrible hand in the parent department, which left severe emotional pain that was suffered until the day he died. This trauma created in him addiction, alcoholism, rage, depression and abusive behaviors. Imagine trying to be a parent or spouse with all this pain and live with the consequences of that pain; it strained all his relationships. In the end he gave up on everything he loved, pushed everyone he knew away and ultimately died alone. Now he is free of pain. Our message to you is to nurture the good in you, if you are in pain please get help, don’t give up on your life and NO you don’t have time, the time is today. I am always wondering who my father could have been if he faced his pain because he was incredible. Survived by daughters Rachel Viekko and Kerri Viekko as well as two children he never met, Robin Lee and Robert Viekko; grandchildren Zabrina Roscoe, Ashley Viekko and Tori Castaneda and great-grandchild Raylan Roscoe whom Dad fondly referred to as Mosca.
Small plane crash in Meyers claims life, another victim airlifted to aid Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A small plane crash Tuesday afternoon in Meyers resulted in one death and another victim being airlifted to an area hospital in unknown condition. A Cessna Skyhawk II was a heap of bent metal as it lay upside down on the ground next to granite boulders and trees. The crash was off Rainbow Road, off State Route 89, near several homes and there were several curious onlookers. There was no fire associated with the crash that happened around 3:30 p.m. The identity of those on board will not be released until family has been notified.

Enough with subsidies for electric vehicles
A
mericans are naturally wary of electric vehicles (EVs). Salespeople may pitch battery-powered cars as the future, but most drivers see them as an expensive, chancy alternative to petroleum-fueled automobiles. This has Robert BRadley Jr. been true for more than a century. Electric cars once stood on their own. “In the late 1890s, at the dawn of the automobile era, steam, gasoline and electric cars all competed to become the dominant automotive technology,” wrote David Kirsch in “The Electric Vehicle and the Burden of History.” “By the early 1900s, the battle was over and internal combustion was poised to become the prime mover of the 20th century.” In 1896, in fact, when a young Henry Ford asked Thomas Edison about electricity for his horseless carriage, Edison banged the table with a “no,” citing reduced driving range from a heavy battery and inconvenient recharging. Today government policies have put EVs back into the market — for the elite. There are federal write-offs of $7,500 per vehicle and 30 percent for EV refueling stations. Car dealers use EV credits to average down regular SUVs to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards too. Still, range is poor and recharging timeconsuming for EVs, not to mention searching for scarce refueling stations. And far from emissionfree, EVs are “elsewhere emission” vehicles since nearly two-thirds of U.S. electricity is generated from natural gas and coal. Throwing good money after bad, states are handing out subsidies to EV buyers. New Jersey recently instituted rebates of up to $5,000 per car. California offers up to $7,000 in electric vehicle rebates, while Oregon provides $2,500. Will this change true ways of driving? New Jersey officials believe their plan will increase electric vehicles to 330,000 in just five years. By 2040 lawmakers hope that electric motors will power 85 percent of light vehicles sold or leased in the Garden State. That’s fantasy. Electric vehicles only accounted for 2 percent of new vehicle sales nationwide in 2019 even with a host of tax bribes. In fact, EV sales have stagnated; California, which provides the strongest incentives for purchasing electric vehicles, saw sales decline in 2019. It should be no mystery. While gas-powered cars can travel up to 500 miles on a single tank, electric vehicles get a mere 100 to 300 miles per battery charge. Winter heating and summer cooling drain batteries, leading to “range anxiety” wherein drivers fear the engine might die before reaching its destination. Future battery costs are unsettling to buyers. The Nissan Leaf, for example, requires a new battery n

Letters to the Editor Appreciation for Chief Wren and PPD EDITOR: would like to thank interim Placerville Police Chief Joe Wren for demonstrating the kind of community policing Placerville deserves. I was among a group of El Dorado County residents seeking a place to voice condemnation for the unjustified police killing of a fellow American, George Floyd. We were looking to exercise our First Amendment right to be heard in a county that had made such expression difficult. Chief Wren listened to us and brainstormed places and ways our demonstration could be possible. He and his officers worked hard to keep us safe as we peaceably assembled and made public our grievances regarding police brutality. Some observers showed disapproval with hand gestures, verbal attacks, revving engines and stealing art and signs from the public display. These same people should know that they too can exercise their First Amendment right to petition the government. They can count on Chief Wren and the Placerville Police Department to listen to their needs and defend their constitutional right to do so. This is the kind of policing I, and my group, believe best serves El Dorado County. SUSAN SIMPKIN Placerville

Signed, Ms. Turns on a Dime Dear Ms. Turns on a Dime, First of all, let me congratulate you on still remembering your ballet lessons. It must be wondrous to see your pirouette. So, to solve your conundrum, as you approach the end of the trail start with some marching steps. March! March! At the end, think about making a tight semicircle, turning clockwise. Lead with your

right shoulder. Right! Right! When you complete your semicircle, you should be facing the new direction and on the left side. I hope. Signed, Mr. Q&A Dear Mr. Q&A, I see that the government screwed up again. Half of the new walk signs are upside down. Half are backward. Half are on the right side. I say, if that is the best government can do, why should I obey their signs? I am sticking to the right. Signed, Mr. In Your Heart, You know I’m Right Dear Mr. Right, Everything you said in your letter is, of course, right. Put on your best John Denver and take a spin with me. Country roads. No sidewalk. Gotta face the traffic or that rolling stock will squish you. They are on the right, so to see them coming, you walk on the left. Same thing with the trail. Wild folks are coming for you. Bicycles. Motorbikes. Skateboards. They are on the right. If you stay left, you have a chance to see them before they get you. Stay safe. Signed, Mr. Q&A Uh-oh. More incoming. Better call it a night. DAVID ZELINSKY Placerville
Mask wars on Main Street EDITOR: n the Mountain Democrat, “State mandates facial coverings,” June 22, staff writer Dylan Svoboda reports “Both the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and Placerville Police Department said they have no plans to enforce the mask requirement.” I have been told by a few merchants on Main Street, Placerville, that customers have bullied their employees when they were asked to wear a mask.

Coronavirus adventures — who you gonna call?
C
oronaCyrus and the Kovid Kid are two new flu fighters who sprang fully formed after watching Vice President Mike Pence’s pandemic task force a couple months ago. Known familiarly as CC and KK, both are Chris mid-20-somethings. CC is a ruggedly handsome guy. KK is a real knockout gal. The dashing duo emerged shortly after the president got bored with putting on his dog-and-pony show and spouting nonsense every day on the White House virus briefing stage. *** “Three college kids are horsing around in the Taco Bell, unmasked and non-distanced. Who you gonna call?” CoronaCyrus and the Kovid Kid, of course. They will rush to the “Bell” and subdue the bratty trio, civilly and peaceably if possible, and sign them up for the weeklong webinar, “Let’s
Vanquish the Virus.” *** “An elderly man is coughing and sneezing uncontrollably in the crowded subway. Who you gonna call?” CC and KK, naturally, who will leap over the turnstile in a single bound, cling perilously to the outside of the car Daley till the next stop, then administer emergency CovidCare to the old fellow. Earning the gratitude of more than 58 other passengers. The heroes then handed out complimentary masks and nitrile gloves to all who needed them before jumping over to an oncoming train to give their very popular slide show on hand washing. *** “Big, burley biker dudes, sloshed, yelling at each other mere inches between their noses outside the Tippler Tavern, punching likely very soon. Who you gonna call?” (I’d call the Pandemic Pardners, aka CC & KK.)

CC and KK answer the call, arriving moments later on matching Segways. They slide a large sheet of clear plexiglass between the would-be combatants. “Hola, amigos, let’s keep proper social distance.

Your CDC, FDA and surgeon general have all warned you about that behavior. Please take this 16-page summary of their pandemic guidelines and review it before bed tonight. C U L8er. Elbow bumps all around.” “OMG, KK. That was a close call. He coulda sent us to Guantanamo or worse if we’d done it wrong. Good
thing we didn’t bring masks and gloves.” *** “Young woman walking on Main Street. She’s wearing the recommended face covering but it’s the Confederate battle flag, the stars and bars. Who you gonna call?” “Whadda ya think, Kid, glass halffull or half-empty?” “Yeah.” *** “Holy moly. Jared Kushner is trying to put Dr. Fauci in a chokehold and wrestle him to the floor. Who you gonna call?” “Nobody. Fauci will bitch slap that little wuss and take his lunch money. Let’s get outta here.” “Oh, man, how ’bout that Tippler joint.

shop windows announcing non-compliance. There are merchants who wish to protect their health, and the health of their employees from a highly contagious virus there is no cure for, with 122,000 deaths and rising. Many businesses are owned by people who are older than 60 and may have underlying medical problems. I read the opinions of deniers in this newspaper. Some think the pandemic is fake and a way the government can control them. Some feel wearing a mask is unconstitutional. Perhaps those who claim “virus fakery” feel if they haven’t suffered from the virus themselves, it doesn’t exist. Perhaps

they haven’t lost a loved one to COVID-19. I am vulnerable to the virus due to a respiratory problem and, for this reason, I do not patronize businesses where people don’t wear masks. Scientific evidence that masks slow the spread of a serious virus is why I wear one. I wonder why it isn’t enough to respect people’s lives and preserve the health and welfare of the whole community. Whatever the view and whether we like it or not the country we live in is united by this pandemic. LARA GULARTE Placerville

every 10 years at a cost of as much as $8,500. This is one reason why the average new EV loses more than half of its value in just three years, with some losing almost 70 percent. By comparison, the average three-year depreciation for all vehicles is just 38 percent. Inexpensive gasoline and diesel have made traditional cars even more desirable. Advances in drilling and other technologies were behind gasoline’s drop to below $3 a gallon. Today, regular unleaded averages below $2 per gallon nationally.
Post-pandemic, when oil demand returns to normal levels, gasoline will remain far below $4 a gallon price in the summer of 2008, thanks to the shale-oil revolution. Car emissions, too, have significantly declined since the 1970s. Environmentally conscious regulators and prudent lawmakers can let Americans buy regular cars. Taxpayers will be thankful too.

with FEMA for reimbursement of COVID-19 expenses,” the report states. The directors will adopt the final 2020-21 budget in August and at that time, Ritzman explained, the district will have a clearer picture of exactly how much COVID-19 negatively impacted the 2019-20 budget and staff will provide options for addressing those deficiencies. New to CPCSD budget process is having the board of directors approve budgets for each of the district’s 30 special funds, including the LLADs and CC&Rs. “Staff is seeking additional funding sources for the newly formed Capital Asset Reserves,” the budget report states. “Fire department staff is applying for grants to fund monitors and allocating the apparatus rental revenue to offset engine payments. For Facilities and Parks Reserve, staff is developing a
plan to dedicate a portion of rental fees. The district needs to develop an overall funding strategy that identifies funding sources for future capital investments. Allocated to the district’s Strategic Plan process is $10,000. Goals of the plan include: • Positioning an agency to be proactive instead of reactive • Establishing a sense of direction and sets priorities • Serving as a guide for policy decisions • Creating operational efficiencies Staff concludes it report with acknowledgement that the budget process will continue to evolve as more information about the pandemic’s impact becomes available and concedes that “more work is needed to reduce the operations budget further to adequately fund future necessary capital improvements.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because you are determined to work for hours at a thing even without a clue of where you’re going or where you’ll end up, you are bound to turn out something entirely creative today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are likely to persuade others with your example, so be careful to keep it in the realm of what, if exponentially multiplied, would benefit the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Avoid staying busy for the sake of looking busy. It is not lazy or idle to stop and take stock of the situation. In fact, pausing for perspective is the smartest thing you can do right now. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t discount what you know. You’ll find strength in your roots. Accept and love where you came from. Cancer energy teaches that home is home for a reason; embrace it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A romantic connection ignites your creativity or a creative connection ignites your spirit of romance. Ultimately, love is a creative discourse, and the shape of a love affair is a work of art. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The right attitude makes life about living and not about judging. You’ll be sure to stock your life with enough interesting endeavors to keep you focused on your own business. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Anything you call out today, the universe will answer.

ion may be, all you have to do is type it into a search engine to discover that there’s someone who feels the same way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Doing everything at once isn’t advised, although sometimes it can’t be helped. And the more you try to do, the more capable you become. None can control the natural force that is the flow of life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Little by little, you’re letting go of a past pain. Soon, you’ll be totally free of it. This you do somewhat consciously, though your subconscious is working overtime on the project, too.

she added. “By Sunday, July 5, there had been so many new cases in the South Lake Tahoe region the rate had risen to 169 per 100,000, far exceeding one of the governor’s criteria for requiring the roll back of some allowances we’ve worked hard to attain.” Newsom announced last month three categories of criteria are now being applied to determining whether or when a county be required to reinstate closures and restrictions. The criteria includes recent case rates and percentages of tests performed that are positive, hospitalizations and ICU bed and ventilator availability. El Dorado County as a whole has remained well below that criteria. “However, if we were to treat the South Lake Tahoe region (which includes incorporated and unincorporated South Lake Tahoe, Tahoma, Meyers, and several tiny nearby communities) as if it were a county, it would now be added to the state’s monitoring list and asked to curtail certain activities,” Williams states. To stay below the threshold, the region can only get about two cases per day on average. However, on Monday, there were 18 new cases reported for the region for the weekend and two more Tuesday. Officials with the city of South Lake Tahoe have been actively telling people to wear masks and socially
distance and, although this was not the busiest Fourth of July the city has seen, many people did not follow guidelines. “During the course of this we have asked people to follow city, county and state guidelines, we’ve started a rigorous marketing campaign, our city council went as far as asking people not to come here, which is an unprecedented move,” said Chris Fiore, communications manager for the city. “This spike is unfortunate but we do everything in our power to keep

our residents safe.” “Unfortunately, countywide numbers are trending upward quickly, too, and we may find ourselves being directed by the state to roll back activities throughout the county,” Williams states. County supervisors were holding a special meeting Thursday to receive a COVID-19 update and provide directions to staff regarding enforcement against businesses and individuals who fail to comply with state and local health requirements.

models, John Ewing with the pure stocks and Mike Miller in the Mini Truck division. The winged 360 sprint car feature came to the line with Hanford’s Mitchell Faccinto and Fair Oaks’ Justin Bradway sharing the front row. At the waving of the green flag Faccinto pulled out to the lead with Fremont’s Shane Golobic battling Bradway for the runner-up position. A caution on lap six slowed things down but when going back green the action clicked off non-stop till the checkered flag. The limited late model main event saw Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. race to his 12th career victory in the division at Placerville Speedway. In the 20-lap feature for the pure stocks it was the “ATM Guy” John Ewing who parked it in victory lane for the second straight season at the Fourth of July Spectacular. The mini trucks provided some thrills and spills during their 20-lap main event — but it all happened behind Mike Miller, who dominated the contest to bring home the victory. The next event at Placerville Speedway will occur on Saturday, July 18, when the 15th annual Mark Forni Classic converges at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds bullring.

Former El Dorado Hills Community Services District Director Billy Vandegrift received a special honor last month. Windsor Point Park was dedicated to the El Dorado Hills resident and community advocate. “As long time residents of this community, Sue, Kim and I are beyond grateful to leaders like Billy Vandegrift, who work to make El Dorado Hills such a special place to raise our children. We are appreciative to the CSD directors for approving this special recognition of him,” said El Dorado Hills resident Heidi Hannaman. Hannaman, along with Sue Parker and Kim White, championed the park’s dedication to Vandegrift, who worked to make the recreation site a reality. A plaque was installed June 18. Left to right are Hannaman, Vandegrift, Parker and White.

In 2022 Cameron Park Rotary Club continued its annual tradition of awarding scholarships to students from Ponderosa High School. Through the club’s foundation, the Darol Rasmussen Endowment fund awarded four vocational grants to individuals on the western slope. This year, through the efforts of Cameron Park Rotarians, a total of 11 students in three categories were awarded scholarships or grants, for a total of $21,700. Scholarships are based on student academic achievement, school and community activities, course work consistent with educational goals and financial need. Special consideration will be given to applications that reveal a match between studies, community activities, career goals and values consistent with those promoted by Rotary. The six Academic Scholarships for 2020 of $2,000 each were awarded to the following PHS seniors in April: Dominic Benedetti, Kaira Bernaldez, Bailey Day, Maia Salter, Isabella Stone and Miles Tresser. The Rotary Club of Cameron Park recognizes a graduating senior from the AVID program annually with a scholarship. The scholarship is meant to honor the work accomplished by the students in this program designed to prepare them for their post-high school education. Students from
families that do not have a history of college attendance are given extra consideration for the AVID Scholarship. Sierra Lopez of PHS received the 2020 AVID Scholarship in the amount of $2,000. The Cameron Park Rotary Community Foundation has established funding for graduating seniors and adults from all western slope high schools or returning students who will be living and working in the western slope area of El Dorado County who have demonstrated outstanding vocational aptitude and interest, commendable academic performance, participation in community or school service activities and have demonstrated financial need. Four Darol Rasmussen Vocational Grants for a total of $7,700 were awarded to Western Slope graduating seniors in April. Three were applicants from Ponderosa High School and a fourth was from El Dorado High School. The students were Erica Johnson, Ethan Logue, and Faith Thomas (all PHS) and Jade Butts (EDHS). Rotary International is a service club organization with a motto of "Service Above Self." It is active in almost all of the countries of the world and Rotary's guiding principles include a Four Way Test for use in personal and professional relationships which focuses on truth, fairness, building good will and better friendships, and being beneficial to all concerned.

The friends meet Dahlia, a dragonfly that introduces them to many new friends while teaching everyone bright and shiny lessons that will stay with them forever. Inspiration for the books originated on a sleepless night at the end of 2017, prompting her to her begin writing in 2018. “I had a weird dream. I wrote it down down and sat on it for a couple weeks,” said Sweeney. “Then I thought for fun I’ll write one book. I found a publisher and I now have 18 and the rest is history.” A boys’ series Sweeney is releasing, “The Adventures of the Boys and the Brass Coin,” also contains six adventures and is a spinoff of two boys with a connection to the main characters in “The Lollipop Brigade.” In the second phase of Sweeney’s stories Emily’s little brother Topher ventures off on his own with his best friend Braydon.

back with knowledge to share with everyone. Soon they start sharing their stories with Emily and Ally, who also tell the boys about what they found and the new friends they met. Toward the end they all discover they can go on adventures together. The Oak Ridge graduate and mother of three young adult children (Jennifer Brooke, Alex Sweeney and Maxwell Sweeney) said her kids played a part in the creation of the books. Characters
featured in her stories are named for and partially based on her children and their experiences together. “In looking back I believe that I’ve always tried to instill all the life lessons that are in my children’s books in my children and every other child and adult,” Sweeney shared. “We have the power to create our own beautiful, amazing life and we can only be the perfect us.” In the third installment “The Lollipop Brigade —
Prequels,” with six additional stories, reader’s discover how Jen and Courtney, the girls who signed the letter and hid the box away for Emily and Ally to discover, went on their own adventures. Lessons shared by characters in the 18 books cover how to be beautiful, smart, courageous, daring and strong. “Children and adults also learn how to forgive people and have friendships that last forever in these stories,” added Sweeney, “friendships that become like family.”

In an ironic twist correlating to her soonto-be-released books it was a friendship that helped Sweeney on her new journey. “I was recently blessed with one of my regulars (from the restaurant) reading the manuscript and they loved it, so they helped me pay the balance I had left on the contract with the publisher,” Sweeney explained. “I have great support in the community with all business owners and residents because I have worked in the public for 22 years. I am truly grateful to the friends and community helping to make this possible.” While Sweeney has no formal education in writing, she said she thinks her natural, creative instincts and her “can-do” attitude resulted in a positive outcome for her new book venture. “If it’s creative I can do it and love it. I have always been able to write creatively and I’ve always been positive beyond belief. I think for children’s books, the combination of the two go really well together.” After accomplishing a portion of her own dreams in publishing a children’s book series, Sweeney is shifting her focus on a new series. “I am now working on a new series where it’s all about children following their dreams and I will have child illustrators doing the illustrations,” she shared. “Therefore they also are following their dreams by having their art in a book.”

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.

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.
