Suspects in deputy’s slaying seek venue change Thomas Frey Staff writer

Juan Carlos Vazquez-Orozco

Christopher Ross

Two men charged in the death of El Dorado County sheriff’s deputy Brian Ishmael will have their request for a change of venue heard Sept. 21-23. Christopher Ross and Juan Carlos Vazquez-Orozco and their legal representation appeared in El Dorado County Superior Court Wednesday morning to discuss the request. Lawyers privately conferred with Superior Court Judge Kenneth Melikian for about an hour before the judge continued the matter and vacated the previously set trial start date of

Aug. 17. Ross and Vazquez-Orozco are now scheduled for a five-week trial beginning Oct. 19, just a few days shy of the second anniversary of Ishmael’s death. On Oct. 23, 2019, Ishmael and another deputy entered the Somerset property owned by Ross after receiving a call from the owner alleging an attempted robbery. Ross reportedly neglected to inform dispatchers that one of the men on his property possessed a firearm and that the men had been living there while illegally growing marijuana. Vazquez-Orozco is accused of firing the shot that killed Ishmael

Living together New learning center connects residents with animal neighbors

Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care recently celebrated the opening of its Outdoor Learning Center, the first public component of the organization’s new $6 million campus. LTWC has been rescuing, rehabbing and releasing orphaned and injured wild birds and animals since 1978. In 2015 leaders purchased a 27-acre property, allowing them to quadruple the space available to care for animals. While LTWC is extremely proud of the facilities, because of health and safety concerns of the animals the general public is not allowed inside. However, a good portion n

on scene and another shot that struck the deputy’s ride-along partner, who was treated and released from the hospital. Federal court documents provide a step-by-step glimpse of the events leading up to the shooting, stating that in early July 2019 Ross entered a business relationship with someone he knew as “Jaime” that permitted Jaime and his associates to cultivate marijuana on Ross’ Somerset property in exchange for $13,000. At the time of the shooting, Jaime had paid Ross $10,000 through cash and a Jeep Cherokee, with the remaining n

Leaders hash out housing issues Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The El Dorado County’s Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission met this week to discuss the county’s housing needs for the next eight years. Topping the needs list is more middle-class housing and a plan to address homelessness. El Dorado County’s Housing Element, part of the General Plan, provides information on current “… we need to and future housing needs and step up and get outlines programs, policies and strategies needed to fulfill these that affordable needs. The plan is updated every housing eight years. Public comment during incentivized and Monday’s meeting, during which encouraged to no action was taken as this was be built …” just a chance to review the draft Housing Element update, speakers — Supervisor addressed issues such as affordable John Hidahl housing, requiring smoke-free units and the county homelessness issue. The county’s 2013 Housing Element included a 10-year plan to house the county’s homeless, but, as some pointed out, had little success. Findings included in the Housing Element update state at least 613 EDC residents are experiencing homelessness. “That is a great example of a plan gone awry,” said Maureen Dion-Perry, a Camino resident. “You would think you would have a little bit of progress.” Seven new housing implementation measures are included in the 2021 Housing Element update, including HO-36, which promotes middle-income housing — something county leaders and speakers acknowledged is lacking. “I know of a lot of friends my age and my sister’s age who grew up in this county who can’t afford to live here,” said District 5 Planning Commissioner Amanda Ross. “They are professionals, they have middle- to upper-income paying jobs and they cannot afford to live here. “The discussion of middle housing needs to be in this element update,” she added. “This is eight years.

Cool Dollar General reviews, reports approved Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to uphold the approval of the Cool Dollar General’s design review permit and environmental impact report, paving the way for construction of the 9,100-square-foot commercial building at 1020 Northside Drive, complete with a driveway, parking lot, landscaping improvements and proper signage. Two appeals, one made by Woodcrest Real Estate Ventures and another by the Divide Preservation Society and the Cool Pilot Hill Advisory Committee, were reviewed at the June 29 meeting and ultimately denied,

both in a 3-2 vote by the supervisors. The appeal from Woodcrest came from conditions that certain requirements such as a 4-foot-wide asphalt pedestrian path along Highway 49 to the project’s driveway and a Class I bike path must be constructed, which the business claimed was financially and technologically unfeasible. The other appeal contended that the EIR report violates the California Environmental Quality Act and the El Dorado County General Plan, citing that air quality, aesthetics and pedestrian and cyclist safety were an issue. Beyond the two appeals, the introduction of the Dollar General has not been well-

received by some Cool residents, who have voiced concerns ranging from how the store would impact the community to how big rigs would impact traffic on narrow roads and how the chain store would impact other local businesses. Developer SimonCRE Abbie tried getting a Dollar General implemented in Georgetown, but was ultimately shutdown in March 2019 following lawsuits, even though the El Dorado County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors approved of the project. The lawsuit for that project also cited the violation of CEQA. District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin and District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo were the two “no” votes during this round.

George Elliott Stephenson II passed away with his family by his side on June 11. George was born April 2, 1952 in Dearborn, Mich., and was the son of George Sr. and Lillian Stephenson also of El Dorado Hills. George lived in Dearborn before moving to California at the age of 4. George graduated from Bloomfield Hills High School and later attended Wayne State University where he played football on the same field and ironically had the same coach as his father. George emerged into the group health and life insurance industry and successfully held titles of president, vice president and director of several insurance companies that spanned his 45 year career. George was an avid motor cross racer, competed in many states as well as Northern California where he won the Hangtown competition. George was a talented musician, singer and songwriter. George is survived by his loving wife Leslie Perez; parents George Stephenson Sr. and Lillian Stephenson of El Dorado Hills; son George III, (Melody); daughter Trinity, (Michael); step-children Sydney and Grant Perez; sister Valerie Ashker; niece Lanie Ashker; grandsons Ezra, Alister, Oliver, Hayes and Luke and many living aunts, uncles and cousins. George will be remembered for his wit, charm and constant humor but most of all, his love for his wife Leslie, his family and friends which he so adored. He especially loved spending time with his father watching football together and going to the movies. George meant so much to so many people and will be truly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. A celebration of life will be held Aug. 1. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to STE, Save The Elephants, in memory of George.

Marjorie Ann “Margie” Klein Feb. 20, 1930 – July 6, 2021

Longtime resident of El Dorado Hills, Calif., Marjorie Ann “Margie” Klein (née Spangenberg), aged 91, passed away peacefully July 6.

News release Probation Services Week takes place July 18-24 in honor of probation professionals who work to keep communities safe and support the rehabilitative process for their clients. El Dorado County Chief Probation Officer Brian Richart shared a presentation with the Board of Supervisors highlighting the good works of the county Probation Department on July 20. “During Probation Services Week we recognize our well-trained and compassionate professionals for their dedication to our entire community, including victims, families and clients,” said Chief Richart. For more than 100 years probation in California has led, collaborated and defended effective practices within the justice system. Probation is focused on helping justice-involved individuals transition out of the system permanently through transformative and evidence-based rehabilitation. Probation departments are a connector in the justice system — interlacing and maximizing the resources available within the courts, local governments, law enforcement, social services, schools, nonprofits and the community to reduce recidivism by carefully balancing direct human services and research-based deterrents and interventions. Together, this approach provides the help and accountability needed to create hope and restore trust. In addition to activities planned throughout the week in honor of the teams, the department hosted the first Sacramento Region Battle of the Badges blood drive. The Battle of the Badges is a friendly competition between law enforcement, fire and emergency personnel raising awareness of the ongoing need for blood donation throughout the communities. There is currently a severe blood shortage throughout the United States. For more information about the El Dorado County Probation Department visit edcgov.us/ Government/Probation.

What Causes It?

Drivers on Highway 50 near Camino should expect more delays as the roadway will be reduced to one lane in each direction from Point View Drive to Camino Heights Drive beginning 8 p.m. Sunday, July 25, for up to 20 consecutive days. All lanes will be open on holidays and weekends, including Apple Hill season. Caltrans, in collaboration with El Dorado County and El Dorado County Transportation Commission, is undertaking various improvements to Highway 50 in the Camino area. The project includes installing a continuous concrete median barrier from Still Meadow Road to Carson

Road that will eliminate left-hand turns onto the highway from surface streets. A new undercrossing is being built to provide access north and south of the highway. The project also includes drainage improvements and a wildlife undercrossing. The entire project runs along Highway 50 from the Mosquito Road undercrossing to the Schnell School Road undercrossing and from 0.2 miles west of Still Meadow Road to 0.2 miles east of Carson Road. Collision rates along this segment of Highway 50 are higher than the statewide average creating the need for improvements, according to Caltrans officials. The $55.4 million project is expected to be completed by December 2022.

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

Molester faces more than a century behind bars

What is the underlying cause?

Ballots for four Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts were counted at a special El Dorado Hills Community Services District meeting last week and voters returned a resounding no to all measures save one. Bass Lake A, Green Valley Hills, La Cresta and Oakridge are the only existing active LLADs out of El Dorado Hills’ 26 that were formed with no mechanism to account for inflation. EDHCSD Parks and Planning Director Tauni Fessler said these districts have long been underfunded and are now unable to sustain assets. Homeowners were each mailed two ballot measures: an assessment increase and the inclusion of an inflationary factor consistent with the CPI-U (San Francisco) plus 1%. “The SF region and its CPI are the closest to El Dorado,” explained Fessler. “The Sacramento region does not maintain an active CPI calculation.” Residents of Bass Lake A LLAD, also known as Hills of El Dorado, voted to increase their yearly assessment from $99 to $226 but turned down the implementation of an inflationary factor. Out of 278 parcels, 84 ballots were received with 63% voting for the increase, which includes the addition of an open space area that many of the homes abut; 57% voted against the inflationary factor. Out of 222 Green Valley Hills LLAD parcels, 84 ballots were received with 75% voting against an increase from $76.90 to $349.14 and 73% voted

against the inflationary factor. Out of 103 La Cresta LLAD parcels, 39 ballots were received with 64% voting against an increase from $158.30 to $553.50 and 69% voted against the inflationary factor. Out of 57 Oakridge LLAD parcels, 19 ballots were received with 84% voting against an increase from $289.44 to $767.78 and 84% voted against the inflationary factor. “It’s always a great day when our residents can take part in a democratic process such as a vote,” declared CSD General Manager Kevin Loewen. “In these votes results, we are pleased to be given a clear majority instruction to match maintenance and replacement of those LLAD assets to the available funding. For all four LLADs this will mean that prioritizing assets that could present safety or hazard issues will come first.” He went on to outline certain hardscape elements requiring immediate attention, deeming landscaping and shrubbery nonessential. “Overall, we would’ve been satisfied with any outcome of the votes and we are delighted to get this long standing 275119 matter resolved and to receive a clear directive from the LLADs,” said Loewen. “Thank you to all that took the time to participate in the process.” Formed between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, LLADs were created to assist the El Dorado Hills Community Services District in funding improvements, operations and maintenance of assets throughout El Dorado Hills, including irrigation and landscape areas, street lights, fencing, entry monuments and other park and open space facilities.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

California Matters

Will bullet train survive budget wrangle?

sing a singular noun “budget” no longer describes the tortuous process by which the governor and state legislators decide how to spend the state’s money. We now have “budgets” almost too numerous to Dan Walters list — a budget proposed by the governor in January, a “May revise” that’s virtually an entirely new proposal and a bare-bones budget that the Legislature passes by June 15 to meet a constitutional deadline, followed by numerous “budget bill juniors” and “trailer bills.” Even after all of those overlapping and confusing actions are taken, it’s not uncommon for further revisions to be enacted for many months thereafter, some even retroactively changing budgets from previous years. Earlier this month Gov. Gavin Newsom signed what he described as “legislation that reflects the majority of the 2021-22 state budget agreement.” “Majority” means that it, like all other pieces of the budget package, is neither comprehensive nor complete. Mostly, it’s an opportunity for Newsom, who faces a recall election in September, to once again brag about the wonderful things he’s doing for California and trumpet his campaign slogan that the state is “roaring back.” “Harnessing the largest surplus in state history, we’re making transformative investments across the board that will help bring all our communities roaring back from the pandemic — and pay dividends California’s budgetary for generations to package is slowly come,” Newsom said. “Through this dribbling out of the comprehensive plan, Capitol but one big the state is taking issue, the fate of the on the inequities laid bare by the state’s bullet train pandemic, expanding project, is still up in our support for the air. Californians facing the greatest hardships, increasing opportunity for every child, confronting homelessness head-on and doubling down on our work to build resilience against the climate change impacts that threaten California’s future.” A single paragraph at the bottom of the lengthy list of provisions not only reveals that there’s more budget work to be done, but that one of the most contentious issues is still unresolved: “In addition, the administration continues work with the Legislature to advance investments to build a modernized and sustainable transportation system, including funding for the state’s public transportation system and high-speed rail.” In other words, the fate of California’s muchtroubled bullet train project is still unsettled. Newsom, who’s blown hot and cold on the bullet train, wants the Legislature to tap $4.2 billion in state bond funds approved by voters in 2008 to continue work on an initial segment in the San Joaquin Valley. Newsom says that completing service from Merced to

Letters to the Editor Steal property and get a citation? EDITOR: hope everyone read the front page article in the Friday, July 16 edition: “Suspect dashes and splashes.” The article told of Lee Duckett and Jessica Nichols being recorded stealing packages from a porch. They were tracked down and caught; they had the packages in their possession; they also had a set of somebody’s golf clubs. The article then informs the reader, “... due to recent bail reform neither Duckett and Nichols had a set bail and were cited and released by jail staff.” If you, like me, don’t want these joke laws; if you, like me, are tired of these selfish thieves disrupting civility with no consequences ... then you, like me, when voting, will put no “X” next to a name that has “incumbent” behind it. You have your first chance to voice your dissatisfaction on Sept. 14. This is one of the insane laws that Gov. Newsom supports and endorses. BILL HUBARTT Shingle Springs

Regular guy EDITOR: s a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person — but I was born white into a two-parent household, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist and responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself. I went to high school, served in the military and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged.” I am heterosexual, which, according to some folks, makes me a homophobe. I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel. I am older than 68, making me a “useless eater” who doesn’t understand Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. I think and I reason and I doubt much of what the mainstream media tells me, which makes me a right-wing conspiracy nut. I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture. Apparently that makes me a xenophobe. I believe in hard work, fair play and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort — not freedom of outcome or subsidies — which must make me a borderline sociopath. I believe in the defense and protection of America for and by all citizens — and that now makes me a militant. I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to assure my freedom, so I stand during our National Anthem so I must be a racist. Please help me come to terms with the new me because I’m just not sure who I am anymore. Funny, this all took place in just the last few years. If all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with, now I don’t even know which restroom to use … and these days I gotta go much more frequently. HAL PETRIE Placerville

Trump again? EDITOR: rump is making noises about running again, This requires reexamining him personally and consideration of consequences for our democracy, our nation and international relations. We need to start with basic issues of his personal qualifications: 1. Before his election in 2016 he had no experience with government or political management 2. He has been psychologically diagnosed as a pathological liar and a malignant narcissist. He shoots his mouth off before he engages his brain. 3. He fits the description of a swindler. A swindler needs people who are gullible or those who know what’s going on and profit from taking the ride. 4. He refuses to reveal his personal and business financial information. He is clearly hiding information. Now, I think these flaws should be obvious to everyone. Trump cannot be trusted to provide necessary, intelligent leadership that our country and the world requires. So why does he have so much support from the American public? What happened to our moral/ethical standards? The basic problem is not Trump, but those citizens who voted for him. The promise of our bright future requires a whole new mindset that is open to all humanity. Where is the GOP? I don’t understand the rationale at play here. NELSON ENOS Placerville

The Not So Weekly Daley

Killing time just for fun ... and learning a thing or two

anging out during the COVID, as any number of swell travel and vacation plans failed to materialize, I read a lot of books. I read a fair amount even when I’m not house-bound, but the amount has been considerably greater over Chris the past 17 months or so. After a boatload of Lee Child, David Baldacchi, Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, Robert B. Parker and more of that “ink,” I switched up to the half-dozen recent political exposés and tell-alls. After that latter bunch, just to cleanse the palate, I decided to move into self-help and similar genres. “The Ultimate Book of Useless Information” was right up my alley. Subtitled “A Few Thousand More Things You Might Need to Know (But Probably Don’t),” it’s put out by The Useless Information

Society whose members “lurk mostly around London.” Former senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole has a couple of credits in the book from the “Words of Wisdom” chapter. “The Internet is a great way to get on the ’net,” he said. “Life is very Daley important to Americans” is another Dole-ism. (Important disclosure): I have not cross-checked nor sought verification of any of these bits of information. I may or I may not; it depends on the future of pandemics. “China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese,” said French president Charles de Gaulle. You gotta get up pretty early to get one over on Chuck d. Humorist Art Buchwald gets the last word on politicians, “I worship the quicksand he walks in.” Feel free to substitute “she or it” for “he.”

“The world’s termites outweigh the world’s humans by 10 to one,” while “there are more beetles than any other creature in the world.” I feel a little punier knowing those facts. “An estimated 80% of animals on earth have six legs,” but “a bumblebee beats its wings 160 times per second.” Meanwhile, “termites eat through wood twice as fast when listening to rock music.” These aren’t meant as comparisons or to suggest that beetles are better than bumblebees ... and don’t you wonder who studies termites to that degree? “Twelve or more cows are known as a flink,” and “the brachiosaurus had a heart the size of a pickup truck.” (I just had to look up “flink” and, sure enough, it’s right, but there’s doubt as to whether or not it applies to more than 12 cows.) Legendary news guy Dan Rather said, “And now the sequence of events in no particular order,” according to my book. On the same page, The Columbus Dispatch advises, “Lack of

brains hinders research.” “How to perform a tracheotomy,” isn’t found in the useless information book. Instead, it’s from “The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook,” which it is chock full of extremely useful information. I’ll skip most of the details in the book and rely on the subject titles. If you are truly interested, you should probably pick up your own copy. “How to jump from a moving car” is a maneuver found in most of the books written by most of the authors noted above. Jack Reacher, Gabriel Allon, John Wells and Spenser surely have had to do it at least once in their long and hairy careers. “How to win a sword fight” would generally begin with actually having a sword, one would suppose. And just in case you don’t have your sword handy, there’s “How to wrestle free from an alligator” in the event that you went swimming or wading “in areas

Bakersfield would set the stage for future extensions north and south. However, Southern California legislators, led by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, contend that the money would be better spent on improving commuter transit. Some bullet train bond money has already been diverted into improving Caltrain commuter transit on the San Francisco peninsula and the SoCal bloc wants another share for its region. Rendon’s argument is bolstered in a poll commissioned by Assembly Democrats and leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle. “A slight plurality of voters surveyed, 42%, said the state should stop building the high-speed rail system

and use the money elsewhere while 41% of voters said construction should continue,” the Chronicle reported. Support for the project is highest in the San Francisco Bay Area but very weak in Southern California and the Central Valley, the site of current construction. Any significant diversion of the bond funds could be a death sentence for the bullet train, which is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over cost projections with no end in sight. It would be a merciful death. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Grizzly Bassmasters take on nationals Mountain Democrat staff The Golden Sierra Grizzly Bassmasters have returned from the High School Fishing National Championship on Lake Hartwell, S.C. The last weigh-in was July 2. “Our final placements were disappointing but also rather good considering none of us ever heard o f the lake,” said coach Ed Hawkins. Luke Gerondakis and Jon Loya finish in 61st place out of 397, which put them in the top 15% of the field. This was their second national championship and it was a great improvement over their bad luck last year on the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. Their boat captain, Matt Vella, is a super guy and really good stick. The guys overcame alternator problems on the second practice day and kept going. Riley Maloney and Sam Houston came in at 182, better than 215 other teams. A dead fish on day one knocked the team back too far to recover. They had to overcome dead batteries in the boat, a flat truck tire, long hours beginning with the 4 a.m. wake-up and the South Carolina heat and humidity. The teams also had to live together in a twobedroom house for a

I think the guys learned something about themselves in the process.” The Grizzly Bassmasters thank the community for support, including primary local sponsors Buckeye, All Cycles, Patti Smith Real Estate, Keene Concrete, Jeep Jamboree, Terry’s Pizza, Waste

Connections and Bonney Plumbing. In addition, families came up with about half of needed funds and 36 individual donors kicked in the rest. Coach Ed Larson, Hawkins and Vella agree. “(We) are amazed at our little community and how far our ‘little bass fishing team that could’ went this year.” The 2021-22 season starts on the Delta on Aug. 6. Anyone interested in joining the team can contact Ed Larson at Golden Sierra.

More than $60,000 was raised to support local health programs. “Bob West started this fundraiser 38 years ago. He recognized the importance that Marshall Medical Center plays in our county — from

the health of our neighbors to how much our local economy depends on it,” said Bob Gillett, Marshall Foundation for Community Health trustee emeritus and committee chair. “As our nonprofit, community healthcare system, Marshall doesn’t have the kind of financial cushion that its competitors have down the hill. We need Marshall and Marshall needs us. Over the years the event has raised more than $1 million to support the patients, employees and the needs of the hospital. If Bob were still with us, he’d be extremely proud.”

Next year’s is event is scheduled June 24. For more information about the Marshall Foundation for Community Health visit marshallfound.org.

Expansion hockey team coming to South Tahoe

comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly

Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The U.S. Premier Hockey League is expanding into South Lake Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe Lakers, owned by Ryan Cruthers, Jocelyn Langlois and Saul Salama, will begin play this coming 2021-22 season at South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena. The Lakers will be heavily involved in the community. Team owners and players are pledging to work with youth hockey, volunteer every week for the rink and in the community and participate in many charity events throughout the year. Founded in 2012, the U.S. Premier Hockey League is comprised of more than 550 teams, fielding more than 11,000 players in more than 100 organizations. Teams are geographically diverse. The goal of the USPHL is to prepare and develop players for college hockey (and beyond) through a tiered development program. The USPHL has sent more than 2,000 players to college hockey in its eight years of existence. “The USPHL has done an excellent job promoting and advancing its players to college hockey and we are proud to be members of this great league,” states

the ownership group in a press release. “We believe our track record with player advancement, college placement and competitive success — and now coupled with the location of Lake Tahoe — makes it an ideal location for a junior hockey player looking to advance.” The ownership group owns two other teams in the league, the Charlotte Rush and Charleston Colonials. “We are extremely excited to bring our culture and development model to Lake Tahoe,” the group notes. “We believe Lake Tahoe Academy and their leadership will be a great partner for a development model for kids through the Lake Tahoe region and beyond.” The Lake Tahoe Lakers are looking for families willing to house players for this upcoming season. Billet families are responsible for providing a bedroom and feeding the players. Families do not have to transport players and players are expected to help out with chores around the house. Billet families will be given VIP season passes, as well as $400 per month. To become a billet family, or to learn more, contact Julie Cruthers at jcruthers@laketahoelakers.com or (412) 613-2391.

You’ll experience rich benefits from keeping your energy and focus concentrated on three things that matter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Much will depend on your ability to accurately sum up a situation. Objectivity is key. Being able to take your own agenda out of the equation helps you see things with clarity, lending you a definite advantage. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The best part is your unselfconscious generosity of spirit. You hold nothing back. Unless it’s for your parking stub, you don’t need validation. What you share will multiply your good fortune and the good fortune CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be reminded that creation is for the brave. Once you execute the action, you relinquish control. People’s reactions and the way they use or build on what you do is not up to you. Making things happen is always a risk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People don’t like to be contradicted. The bigger the ego, the more contradiction is seen as a threat. Those who prize intelligence understand how little they actually know and are willing to reduce their egos in the name of learning. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful which time frames you slot your hopes and plans into. If you expect things to happen very quickly, you might be setting yourself up for frustration. Build in wide margins, and then work toward

Retain the sacred autonomy of certain aspects of your life — areas that run on your terms, are nonnegotiable and can occur exactly as you wish without anyone else’s input. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Since what happens daily impacts you more than the exciting out-of-the-blue occurrences, you’ll turn your attention to creating routines that support you in the person you’d like to become. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How you get out of a thing speaks to your character more than how you got into it. You’ll take care to leave things on a sweet note. You’re a big tipper in more ways than service transactions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t have to make people feel important because they simply are important to you. You regard them as such, and they sense it. The celebrities in your world are the ones who are part of your daily rhythm. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Discovering your opinions, passions and voice requires effort, which you’ll gladly put in. You want to know your impact. You’ll do the work it takes to be engaged with the needs of your community and the world at large. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no secret formula, only what works for you. With your work ethic and a willingness to keep going until you get the results you’re after, you’ll have reason to celebrate sooner rather than later.

go in now, it really won’t be implemented until we look at it again in eight years.” Single-family homes in unincorporated El Dorado County make up of 89% of the housing units, according to the update. There was discussion on including more multi-family units in the plan and SB 35 — a statute streamlining housing construction in California counties and cities that fail to build enough housing to meet state-mandated housing requirements. BOS Chair John Hidahl acknowledged that the county has not been successful in getting multi-family units built. “If we want to bring back discretionary authority and review, we need to step up and get that affordable housing incentivized and encouraged to be built so we fall into the category where we can have discretionary review rather than administrative approval for projects like SB 35,” Hidahl said. The District 1 supervisor said waiting to build these units is prompting state legislators to make more rules/regulations regarding housing, “which is taking more control away from local decision makers.” “I don’t want to see that happen anymore,” Hidahl said. “We need to try to reverse that.” Multi-family homes make up about 6% of housing units in unincorporated El Dorado County. Housing needs are divided into four categories in the Housing Element — very-low income, low income, moderate income and above moderate income. The county is responsible for finding

the necessary land to accommodate the housing needed, while addressing concerns like water supply, fire safety, traffic and cost of housing. The state determined that 153,512 housing units were needed for the areas the Sacramento Area Council of Governments oversees, which consists of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties. El Dorado County (West Slope and Tahoe Basin) is responsible for 3.27% of that allocation, around 5,000 units — 1,350 of which are designated for people in the very-low income category. The Housing Element update notes the above-moderate income category has the the highest allocation at 1,991 housing units. Adoption of an affordable housing ordinance was discussed at the meeting. County staff is working with SACOG on a memorandum of understanding to get funding. The 2021 Housing Element draft was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for review. The update and more information is available online at edcgov.us/Government/ longrangeplanning/LandUse/Pages/ General-Plan-Housing-Element—2021. aspx. The Planning Commission will hold a 2021 Housing Element update public hearing on Aug. 26 and the Board of Supervisors will follow with its hearing Aug. 31. The due date for final adoption is Sept. 10. The HCD has 90 days to review and certify the update.

New guidelines provide tips to anglers that will help minimize stress on fish during the drought.

CDFW rolls out guidance for fishing during the drought California Department of Fish and Wildlife News release The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is asking recreational anglers to voluntarily change how, when and where they fish to minimize stress and mortality among fish populations suffering from drought conditions. CDFW is advising anglers not to fish past noon on certain inland waters as even catch-and-release angling during the hottest parts of the day can greatly increase fish stress and mortality.

“Many of our inland fisheries that rely on cold water habitat will likely be significantly impacted in the short and long term,” said CDFW Inland Fisheries Manager Roger Bloom. “California’s drought cycles have required us to learn to manage fisheries with extreme variations in water flows. The last drought resulted in significant effects to fisheries that took years to recover from. We hope the self-imposed Hoot Owl restrictions by anglers will help mitigate those effects.” Coldwater species such as trout, n

of staff and volunteers’ time is taken up each day fielding calls from the public and teaching them about living with wild animals. The new Outdoor Learning Center will allow the public to interact with LTWC while keeping the animals inside, safe and comfortable. “Almost all the animals we get is because some person screwed up … but all of these animals deserve a chance to live in the wild,” said Bruce Richards, capital project manager for LTWC. “A key thing we need to do, that we haven’t been able to do until today, is to educate the public in how to handle wildlife.” LTWC has several animals that can never be released — a Kestral whose wing was badly broken so he can’t fly long distances, another Kestral who was cared for by humans from a young age so she doesn’t have survival skills and a bald eagle, Em, who had one of his wings partially amputated.

LTWC has been rescuing, rehabbing and releasing orphaned and injured wild birds and animals since 1978. The wildlife rescue also has a recent addition, a porcupine who came to them at a very young age and also has no natural instincts. In fact, he spends a lot of his day following staff around like a cat.

Those animals and their handlers will be used for presentations at the learning center, allowing the public to get a closer look at the impact humans can have on wildlife. “People are more

inclined to protect what they understand, so we are happy that visitors will have the unique opportunity to learn about and connect with local wildlife,” states Cory Ritchie, Tahoe Fund vice chair in a

press release. “The work the team at LTWC does to rescue, rehabilitate and release animals back into the wild is well aligned with the Tahoe Fund’s mission.” The Outdoor Learning Center consists of a

stage with a television and PA system, bleachers and a paved path from the parking lot. It was funded through a $30,000 contribution from Tahoe Fund donors, including $15,000 from the Mathman family and a matching donation from Tahoe Blue Vodka. “It took 10 years of blood, sweat and tears and everything to make this beautiful facility happen and today we’re celebrating this very small piece of it,” said Amy Berry, CEO, Tahoe Fund at a grand opening earlier this month. “At the Tahoe Fund, we’re just so happy to be a piece of a project like this. Our mission is to use the power of philanthropy to improve the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy and when we think about ‘all to enjoy,’ we think about for the humans to enjoy but obviously we need to take care of our wildlife that we’re so lucky to get to live with.”

salmon and steelhead have the greatest likelihood of being affected by the drought this year but low water levels and high-water temperatures can potentially affect all inland aquatic species. CDFW has introduced a series of voluntary angling recommendations — so-called “Hoot Owl” Restrictions — that directs anglers to focus their fishing during the cooler “hoot owl” periods of the day when water temperatures are lowest. A watchlist of specific waters anglers should avoid fishing past noon is included and will be updated as conditions change. Sustained afternoon water temperatures exceeding 67 degrees F for trout fisheries could trigger addition to the list. Currently, the list of waters include: • Lower Owens River (Pleasant Valley Dam downstream to Five Bridges) in Mono County • Hot Creek in Mono County • Mill Creek (Walker Basin) in Mono County • Lower Rush Creek (Grant Lake to Mono Lake) in Mono County

• Bridgeport Reservoir in Mono County • Deep Creek (San Bernardino County) • Crowley Lake (Mono County) • Truckee River (Lake Tahoe to the Nevada state line) in Nevada, Placer and Sierra counties As conditions change, CDFW will post the updated list on the “Hoot Owl” Restrictions page. Elevated water temperatures, lower oxygen levels, disease, low flows and low water levels are among the drought-related effects impacting many of California’s coastal waters and inland fisheries. CDFW offers a number of other angling tips to reduce fish stress during the drought: • Minimize the time you spend “fighting” the fish and any hands-on handling. • Use rubber or coated nylon nets to protect a fish’s slime layer and fins. • Quickly remove the hook with forceps or needlenosed pliers. • Minimize the amount of time the fish is exposed to air, especially when the weather is warm.

• Keep your hands wet when handling the fish. • If the fish is deeply hooked, do not pull on the line. Instead, cut the line as close as possible to where it is hooked and leave the hook so it can dissolve. • Allow the fish to recover in the net before you release it. • If the fish does not stay upright when you release it, gently move it back and forth. • Avoid fighting fish from deeper, cooler waters and bringing them into warmer waters at the surface if your intention is to release them. • Target fisheries that have stable water levels and species that are more resilient to elevated temperatures. While theses best practices may not all apply to anglers interested in harvesting their fish to eat, mortality may result from non-targeted species caught and released or fish outside of legal size limits that must be returned to the water.

Film brings awareness about sex trafficking News release The nonprofit organization Artists For Change Inc. announced it will have a virtual screening of “Angie: Lost Girls” on July 30 at 5:30 p.m. for the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons event. The film was directed by social impact filmmaker Julia Verdin with efforts of bringing awareness to the realities of sex trafficking. This special day of focus is globally promoted and founded by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Distributed by FreeStyle Digital Media, this award-winning feature film produced by some Hollywood heavyweights including Jason Piette, Sean Acosta, Morris S. Levy, Greg Clark, Victoria Hill and John Jacobs depicts true events in the life of 17-year-old Angie who was trafficked for financial gain by criminals. Veteran movie director/writer/producer Verdin, owner of RoughDiamondProductions.net, known for successful films such as “The Merchant Of Venice,” “Stander” and “2 Jacks” studded with Academy Award-winning actors as well as producing a host of other great films, directed “Angie: Lost Girls.” After volunteering at a runaway children’s shelter and meeting many teenage survivors of trafficking, Verdin became emotionally connected to the cause of fighting for justice for the helpless girls and boys trapped in this endless cycle of crime. This drove her passion to produce, direct and write the film in hopes of making a difference. “Those of us who work in the film and TV industries carry an incredible responsibility in

Education leads to prevention.” To register to watch the free virtual screening

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is inviting artists to submit environmental artwork for possible inclusion at the 20th annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival in January 2022.

2022 Art Exhibition calls for entries Wild And Scenic Film Festival News release

he Wild & Scenic Film Festival, in collaboration with Nevada County Arts Council, is once again inviting local and regional artists to submit their environmental artwork for possible inclusion at the 20th annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival, taking place Jan. 13-17, 2022. Wild & Scenic uses environmental and adventure films to inspire activism and the organization is seeking art submissions that do the same. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that address a broad interpretation of the theme of “environment.” The featured artwork enhances the immersive nature of the festival experience. “We are thrilled about bringing the art exhibition back to Nevada City and Grass Valley for an in person festival experience,” said festival director Jess Swigonski. “I look forward to seeing what creations our vibrant community of artists and makers have in store for our 2022 Call for Art.” Throughout the festival, juried art will be displayed at venues in both Grass Valley and Nevada City. Attendees can view the art and meet the artists during the Art Strolls in the twin cities. Western Nevada County is home to more than 100 arts-related organizations producing upward of a thousand events a year, scores of annual festivals, street fairs, art walks and studio tours and a generous base of artists and makers. All this and much more is happening in the Grass Valley-Nevada City Cultural District, designated by California Arts Council as one of 14 cultural districts for the thriving cultural diversity and unique artistic identities within California. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that will inspire environmental activism through art and highlight the beauty of the natural world. “We are thrilled to provide an opportunity for artists who are

passionate about the environment to showcase their best and share a meaningful message conveyed through their unique artistic visions,” said Swigonski. Submissions will be accepted in three categories this year: 3-dimensional, 2-dimensional and photography. Artists can submit up to three pieces per entry in a single category. While all artwork will be considered, selection committee is especially interested in pieces that interpret the theme this year, “Currents of Hope.” The theme speaks to momentum toward a brighter future. In aligning ourselves with this theme, we envision a hopefulness that is grounded in real and measurable action, constantly moving us forward like the mighty rivers that are the lifeblood of this planet. “Currents of Hope” celebrates a vision of a healthy, thriving planet regenerated by the unstoppable flow of compassionate communities who share in this dream. Selected artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their work in person at the 20th annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival in front of an audience of 8,000 environmental filmmakers, celebrities, social activists and thousands of attendees. Selected artists will be eligible for the following awards: • Top submission in each category; 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional and photography • Best of Theme: “Currents of Hope” • Judges’ awards

Submission deadlines:

Sept. 15 — Early Bird registration deadline, $20; Oct. 25 — Regular registration deadline, $30; Nov. 8 — Extended deadline, $45; Dec. 15 — Jury notiﬁcations sent; Jan. 13, 2022 — Art Exhibition/Film Festival begins. For more information email info@ wildandscenicfilmfestival.org.

pace Jam: A New Legacy” is one of the most disappointing films since COVID began. It is full of boring story beats, corporate cynicism, dour lead characters and lacks any type of storytelling invention. In this sequel to 1996’s much more entertaining Michael Jordan vehicle, “Space Jam,” a rogue artificial intelligence kidnaps the son of famed basketball player LeBron James, who then has to work with Bugs Bunny and gang to win a basketball game. Mr. James is one of the biggest sports stars on the planet but he’s always been followed by the Jordan vs. James debate. Personally, I think Michael Jordan

Democrat correspondent is the best basketball player (perhaps the best athlete) I’ve seen in my lifetime, but that is irrelevant for the sake of this review. What is relevant, however, is that I find it strange that while James is trying to blaze his own path and career as one of the greatest of all time, his first big splash into Hollywood is a direct sequel to a Michael Jordan film? Maybe do something a tad different to not have those comparisons follow you around? This is just opinions and window dressing on James’ career, though. What is really important is if the film is any good; it's not.

“A New Legacy” is not only a vanity project for James (understandable) but also the studio itself, which is where my comment about corporate cynicism

come into play. Case in point: when our basketball hero enters the world of artificial intelligence (named the “WB3000” because, you know, studio branding) and morphs into an animated character he flies through space and crashes into a cartoon planet. The crater he makes upon impact is a Nike swoosh symbol. That must have been some nice advertising money! The entire film is a shameless cash grab and an opportunity for Warner Bros. to push its brand and wares, which I guess is their right to do. It is their property and investment, but this whole movie is a soulless advertisement of every single character, IP and brand in the WB’s archive. The now defunct Warner Bros. Studio Store lives again in two long and excruciating hours of propaganda. It reads like a bunch of WB executives and publicists got drunk and vomited out this story outline. The original “Space Jam,” for any faults it

had, had a runtime of 1 hour, 22 minutes and knew when to close the curtain and get out of its own way. This new film takes over an hour to even get to the tip-off of the basketball game. I can’t honestly believe there was an extra hour of film left for the game itself and the film's climax that should have lasted about 20 minutes. By the end my brain was numb from the onslaught of CGI and video game action. As far as the real actors we have Lebron James, carrying the entire film on his shoulders and he’s not up to the task. I don’t blame Mr. James. I am certainly not one who thinks athletes need to stick to sports. Lebron has many outside interests both personally and professionally and is a strong role model for kids and his community, but an actor he is not. Neither is Michael Jordan, but Jordan had a natural charisma that transcended the sport and became a worldwide phenomenon. Jordan was also a much more likable character on screen. The only fun aspect of the last hour was looking around the sidelines of the game and seeing all the “easter eggs” in the stands. These are characters or people that you would recognize hidden in plain sight. DC Comic (owned by WB) characters, action heroes from Warner Bros. films and anything else the studio can throw at the wall. If they are a WB character, chances are you will see them. Pennywise the Clown from “It” and the Droogs gang from “A Clockwork Orange?” Got them. Because what says “family friendly” like those characters? I think I saw Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman from “Casablanca” show up. You want

Continued from B1

355-8586 or go to powerhousepub. com. Born in San Jose in 1955, Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of Eric Clapton, Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal, Mike Bloomfield and other blues-rockers. Almost every major rock and soul act, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to Elvin Bishop to Taj Mahal, toured through the area and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker, Albert King and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the same local blues bar JJ’s, where he often jammed, dreaming of one day busting out. Mixing the blues-rock he loved and the soul music he heard blasting out from his Mexican friends’ lowriders, Castro started to create his own personal sound and style. He honed his guitar skills and intense vocals, learning how to capture an audience as he performed on San Jose’s highly competitive bar scene. As his reputation spread Castro played in a variety of Bay Area blues

and soul bands, soon making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. He joined Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones in the late 1980s, gigging all over the country. After forming the first Tommy Castro Band in 1991, Castro released a series of critically acclaimed CDs for Blind Pig, Telarc and 33rd Street Records, as well as one on his own Heart And Soul label. He signed with Alligator Records in 2009, releasing “Hard Believer” to massive acclaim. Castro formed the first incarnation of The Painkillers in 2012 and released “The Devil You Know.” By 2014 (with Brown and Emerson taking over drums and keys respectively) they had become a lean, mean four-piece lineup. The current band released “Method To My Madness” in 2015 and “Stompin’ Ground” in 2017, with critics shouting praise and admirers cheering the group’s every move. Blues Revue said simply, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.”

Batman? There’s a couple, along with Robin from the 1966 show, two Catwomen, two Penguins (both the Burgess Meredith and Danny DeVito versions) and a background actor dressed as Mr. Freeze that overacts the entire time. I saw The Iron Giant too. He was in a much better film that Warner Bros. didn’t believe in and it died a quick death at the box office because of their awful marketing of that film. “Space Jam: A New Legacy” gets the full marketing support of the studio. Take that as what you will. The Iron Giant deserves better than to be in this movie. The most surprising aspect of this entire project is that the anemic and badly written script took six writers to come up with. Six! It reads like a list of studio notes and executive intervention. It’s a film the same way a Nascar uniform has advertisements splattered all over it. I’m surprised Warner’s did not strike a deal with the racing league as well. There’s good money there. No, I did not like this movie. If you are thinking “It’s for kids!” you are doing a disservice to the intelligence of children and the movies they are capable of liking and understanding as well as the filmmakers that spend years making high quality content for families. “Space Jam: A New Legacy” is an unnecessary and shameless sequel that is a generic copycat of its predecessor.

Originally established in 2006 by the Center of Contemporary Art Sacramento (that later merged with Verge Center for the Arts in 2014), Sac Open Studios allows tour goers the opportunity to engage directly with artists while enjoying and experiencing a self-guided, art-focused exploration of the greater Sacramento region. A unique collaboration between Verge Center for the Arts, local artists, arts organizations, schools and colleges, and local businesses, Sac Open Studios is generously sponsored by the Mondavi Center and Warehouse Artist Lofts. Additional support is provided by the city of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture and the county of Sacramento Board of Supervisors.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE is hereby given that PLACER FORECLOSURE, INC., as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by: ROBERT VAN DER VIJVER AND MELISSA VAN DER VIJVER, HUSBAND AND WIFE AND MATTHEW A LOPAS AND DEANNA L BOGDAN Recorded 04/08/2015 as Instrument No. 20150014078-00 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 4/7/2021 in Book, Page, as Instrument No. 20210024160-00 of said Official Records, WILL SELL on 08/11/2021 At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 at 10:00AM AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 505 PLEASANT VALLEY RD, DIAMOND SPRINGS, CA 95619 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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: $309,583.08 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-211567. 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.
