VOLUME 47 • ISSUE 13 Local Entrepreneurs Launch Princess Prom Rentals RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Over 88 miles of creek run through Rancho Cordova. Waste that is dumped into creeks can destroy plants, pollute water, and endanger wildlife. So Rancho Cordova is mobilizing to clean up its creeks on Saturday, April 18th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. This year, volunteers are especially needed at creeks near Horn Road off of Folsom Boulevard, Dawes Street near Dolecetto Drive, and Zinfandel Village Bike Trail. Sign up to volunteer before April 10th or until all spots are filled by visiting www.creekweek.net/vrancho. “Rancho Cordova is joining the movement to clean our creeks during Creek Week,” said Mayor Robert J. McGarvey. “By keeping our creeks clean, we protect the environment and maintain our outdoor adventure areas for future generations.” Rancho Cordova’s clean-up event is part of Creek Week, an annual event that is organized by the Sacramento Area Creeks Council. The clean-up on April 18th will be followed by a free lunch, entertainment, and fun activities from noon to 2 p.m. at Carmichael Park, 5750 Grant Avenue.

The signal will be located in front of the Neil Orchard Senior Activities Center and adjacent to the Lincoln Village Park and Lincoln Village Pool. The project aims to make crossing Routier Road safer and easier for seniors frequenting the activities center as well as people enjoying the nearby park and public pool. “The City of Rancho Cordova’s new pedestrian traffic signal project increases safety for children, families, and seniors using the activities center, park, and pool,” said Mayor Robert J. McGarvey. “With a bus stop across the street from these amenities, the signal will also create a safe crossing for citizens using public transit.” The project will include a raised crosswalk and shade structures on each side of the street at the signal. The traffic light will remain green except when someone needs to cross the street. The activities center is managed by the Cordova Recreation and Park District and hosts around 200 of Rancho Cordova’s senior citizens on a daily basis. It offers a wide variety of daily activities for community members who are 50 years or older, ranging from a monthly movie event to pottery classes to Zumba. “Safe access to our programs and facilities is a high priority for Cordova Recreation and Park District,” said District Administrator James M. Rodems. “During the busy summer months, parking can be limited along this busy corridor.

Founded the same year as Gatorade and Medicare, girls softball in Rancho Cordova has proved to be equally enduring. Each year, as many as 300 girls in Rancho Cordova pick up a bat and a glove and take the opportunity to grow into self-confident women by supporting each other on the fields of Cordova Girls Softball. In the last 50 years, approximately 10,000 families have shared the experience. Longtime league president Rod Borba said the league is about girls sports—and building a great hometown. “I am proud of our continued role in the community,” said Borba. “Our goal this year is to highlight our history, build to our future, and remind parents to savor these moments with their children.” Honored a week earlier by the Cordova Community Council as the “Distinguished Community Service Organization,” the 50th anniversary was an opportunity to recognize amazing changes that have marked sports for girls over the past half-century. Cordova Girls Fastpitch Softball was founded in 1965 as the first girls sport league in Rancho Cordova, taking hold years before the adoption of Title 9, which made equal access to sports for girls the law of the land in 1972. Today, girls aged 4-18 head out to Mills Middle School fields for what has become an annual rite of spring. Frank Puhr, the man who Cordova Girls Fastpitch Softball was founded in 1965 as the first girls sport league in Rancho Cordova. Hundreds of girls and their parents celebrated the 50th anniversary on Saturday, March 21st. Each year, as many as 300 girls in Rancho Cordova pick up a bat and a glove and take the opportunity to grow into self-confident women. In the last 50 years, approximately 10,000 families have shared the experience. Photo by Rae Lynn Flippo served as the league’s first president, was on hand to celebrate the organization he helped found a half-century ago. “I still think of each of these girls as one of my kids,” said Puhr. “I loved every minute of it.” Puhr was all smiles when handed a neon-yellow softball to toss the first pitch and accepted a proclamation from the City of Rancho Cordova presented by Council Member Linda Budge. Other ceremonial pitches came from Mayor Bob McGarvey; 10-year players Amber Chapman, Caitlyn Teau, Cassie Rucker, and Myleeah Chapman; and top candy-fundraising campaign seller Kayla Sattelberg. The passage of time was also marked by the introduction of a new Cordova Girls Softball icon: a modern-looking female athlete, designed by Rancho Cordova artist Rick Sloan. She replaces the outdated symbol designed by Marty Garrity in 1970, which served as the face of girls softball here for 45 years. With 25 teams parading on a picture-perfect morning, the league used retro names from years past in recognition of the organization’s history. Always the case on opening day, the tiniest players dressed up in ballet tutus and angel wings to reflect their team names and demonstrate their team spirit as cameras clicked away at the spectacle. The Cordova High School Drumline pounded out cadences to get the party started, and a United States Marine Corps Color Guard from Maintenance Service Company CLB 23 Sacramento helped set the scene. With the formalities concluded, it was all about girls and softball, with the crack of bats and giggles combining with the delicious aroma of Rod’s Famous Tri-Tip wafting from the snack bar. Borba, who has been president of the league for 18 years, predicted the snack bar would serve up its 10,000th tritip sandwich this year. Girls frolicked from field to a giant slide, parents cheered, and an alumni game topped off a special day. Funded completely by player fees, support from local business, and countless hours of volunteer labor by dedicated adults, Cordova Girls Softball has also given exemplary teams and players opportunities to travel and measure themselves against other teams from around the country while representing their hometown of Rancho Cordova. The league is both a talent pipeline and training ground for Cordova High School athletics. Before anyone could yell “play ball,” a photographer was hoisted far above the field for what amounts to a family portrait spanning 50 years. They smiled, they waved, and then it was on to the game. This year the league will codify its history in a full color yearbook. Families and former players are urged to send photos to the league or share photos on the league’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ CordovaFastPitch).

His presentation at the Rancho Cordova Luncheon at City Hall coincided with Major League Soccer ’s choice of Minneapolis to fill the franchise that the Sacramento club had hoped would be theirs. Smith, however, was optimistic. “They told us privately, ‘We’re going to expand,’” Smith said. “And they said, ‘If we expanded today, you would get a franchise.’” Sacramento Republic now is hoping to be announced as the 25th franchise in August. The club is presently part of USL Pro. “We’ve performed pretty well in this league; we’re even with Portland, Seattle, Montreal, Vancouver, we’re outperforming way ahead of what they were able to do,” Smith said. “We finished first in every single category, from ticket sales to merchandise to sponsorship. To have won the championship this year, in our first year, just really was the icing on the cake for us.” Smith said that he had a love-hate relationship with soccer when he was younger. As a sophomore in high school, a girlfriend convinced him to give up American football for soccer. “This little kid flies into my leg a minute into the first game of the season and breaks it,” Smith said. “I went back to American football.” Smith said that while American football is the number one sport in this country, only eight-million people worldwide actually play that sport. Worldwide, 300 million people play soccer, 30 million in the United States alone. In the Sacramento “draw” area, meaning a 30-mile radius around the city, 133,000 people play soccer, giving this region the number two participation level in the country on a per capita basis. “What’s really happened over the last 30 or 40 years is that our children have grown up with the sport,” Smith said. Sacramento Republic FC has applied for academy status, which Smith said is “a sanctioned United States Soccer Federation team, where these players are paid by us to play.” “And so we grow in partnership with the curriculum and philosophies that they’re trying to institute to win the world cup,” Smith said. “That flows from our first team all the way down to the academy program.” In the meantime, Smith said the club is very much involved in the youth soccer community in local school districts and has a great relationship with San Juan Unified School District, which has the only Designated Academy here in the region. A large and faithful following of the club is already growing in Sacramento, with the Tower Bridge Battalion as the official support group. “It’s a group of enthusiastic fans that support the club wherever they go,” said Brian Danzl, women’s varsity soccer coach at Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova. “Thick or thin, we’re there to support our team because they are our team.” The club not only has a following but will have great economic impact on the Sacramento area. Though a feasibility study was not required here, the impact is estimated to be similar to Orlando, Florida, since it is demographically similar and has only one major league sports team. The study done in Orlando showed a $1.5 billion economic impact over a 30-year period. The team crest was developed Warren Smith (right), president and co-founder of Sacramento Republic Football Club, spoke at Rancho Cordova’s March Luncheon. Smith and Brian Danzl (left), coach of Cordova High School women’s varsity soccer, sport the scarf of the Tower Bridge Battalion, the team’s local support group. around research that revealed that people loved Sacramento not so much because it was the state capital but because the spirit of California was headquartered and invented here. Therefore, the club built their crest based on the California State Flag: a star, which represents the capital on a map; a bear; and the name “republic.” Investigation determined that “urbs indomita,” which means “indomitable city,” used to be on the city seal. That is now trademarked as part of the club’s brand: “URBS INDOMITA— I N D O M I TA B L E C I T Y. INDOMITABLE CLUB.” To learn more about the Sacramento Republic Football Club, including the schedule of games, please visit www.sacrepublicfc.com.

Bank of America announces Soil Born Farms as Sacramento’s Neighborhood Builder Award recipient. Soil Born Farms is a nonprofit being recognized for its work in addressing hunger, healthy living, and sustainability in the Sacramento community through urban farming. Photo courtesy of Weber Shandwick RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - The Bank of America Charitable Foundation named Soil Born Farms as Sacramento’s Neighborhood Builder recipient. The nonprofit is being recognized for its work in addressing hunger, healthy living, and sustainability in the Sacramento community through urban farming. Neighborhood Builders is a strategic investment in communities that combines $200,000 in flexible funding with leadership training for high-performing nonprofits and their executives. Soil Born Farms’ mission is to create an urban agriculture and education project that empowers youth and adults to discover and participate in a local food system that encourages healthy living, nurtures the environment, and grows a sustainable community. Today, the American River Ranch, a 55-acre historic ranch located within the American River Parkway at 2140 Chase Drive in Rancho Cordova, is now the permanent home of Soil Born Farms, which educates schoolchildren about how to grow and prepare healthy food and provides fruits and vegetables for underserved communities that might otherwise not have access to healthy food. “Over the last decade, we’ve heard from past recipients that the combination of unrestricted funding and leadership training has fundamentally changed their organizations and helped them stay competitive in an ever-changing funding environment,” said Kathie Sowa, Sacramento Market President, Bank of America. “Soil Born Farms has already done so much for families in Sacramento. This investment will empower them to build leadership capacity and expand to meet the evolving needs in our community.” “Bank of America is amazing at not only recognizing which organizations to invest in, but also when to invest in them. For Soil Born Farms, the Neighborhood Builder’s Award brings an injection of training and financial resources at a point when they will have the biggest impact for our organization and the Sacramento Community. As we speak, these ‘tipping point’ resources are already being applied into infrastructure, leadership initiatives, and healthy food programs that will help Soil Born Farms and its partners improve the long-term physical, economic, and environmental health of our Sacramento Community.” Neighborhood Builders is currently marking its 10th year as the largest investment in nonprofit leadership development and organizational longevity. Through Neighborhood Builders, Bank of America has invested $160 million in 800 nonprofit organizations and provided training to 1,600 nonprofit leaders. In Sacramento, Bank of America has awarded 19 nonprofit organizations as Neighborhood Builders, investing over $3.8 million into the community. Organizations selected as Neighborhood Builders are recognized for their significant impact in addressing needs related to community development, basic human services or workforce development, and education. The flexible funding allows nonprofits to build capacity. At the same time, leaders of the organizations learn about issues essential to nonprofit sustainability through the Neighborhood Builders leadership training.

My friend Elsie, from the Cordova Senior Center and a member of the group, invited me to join them at a recent Saturday meeting. It was not too long after that I found this group had much more to offer to the military community than I ever knew, and their efforts are worth sharing. The Society of Military Widows (SMW), Camellia Chapter 5, Sacramento, CA, was chartered on February 6th, 1974, and currently has a membership of 62 women whose husbands have served in the military (www.militarywidows. org). I had the honor to interview both Elsie and Catherine. Catherine is the current historian and an original charter member, and this is their story: The original SMW was founded in 1968 “to serve the interest of women whose husbands died on active duty military service or during retirement from the armed forces.” The SMW is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to “educate the American public concerning the problems and needs of military widows in today’s society.” The SMW is affiliated with the National Association for Uniformed Services (NAUS), which provides for a legislative voice in Washington D.C. and assists with membership recruitment. When I asked for the main reasons someone would choose to belong to this organization, I was told by these two ladies, “It is important to keep up to date with our benefit information.” In addition, the group provides a social outlet for these women and a source to seek advice on a variety of topics of interest to them. Elsie stated, “We are not a sad group; the camaraderie and looking forward to the next meeting is important to us.” I can tell you from personal experience that this is a lively group of women from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities who do enjoy their time together. To be a member, a widow must be in possession of a valid military dependent identification card. The local chapter is quite active. As an organization, they donate to the Fisher House (one of the houses is located at Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, CA), which is a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving medical treatment. These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room, and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee (www.fisherhouse.org). Further evidence of the chapter’s generosity includes paying for a service dog for a disabled veteran, donating cans of coffee and magazines to be used at Veteran Clinics’ waiting rooms in the Sacramento area, and contributing to the Retiree Activity Office at McClellan Park, among other things. If you’d like to attend a meeting, they are held the first Saturday of each month (except January and July) at 11:30 a.m. for a no-host lunch and short business meeting. It is worth attending for the information available to military widows, but equally important, go for the friendship. H From the Mayor’s Corner Government Officials Take Questions from the Public Bob McGarvey Our town hall meeting team has been doing a wonderful job of listening and writing down the suggestions and needs given to them by the people who have been attending the meetings. The number of residents in attendance has varied from 15 to 60 at the school meetings, and they have been very lively with many suggestions. The business meeting that was held in partnership with the Rancho Cordova Chamber at the Casa Ramos Mexican Restaurant was very well attended. The business representatives offered ideas that would help support the needs of the businesses and help keep and add to the many jobs in the City of Rancho Cordova. That totals 10 meetings at the public schools and one business meeting. There are three meetings scheduled next week: Monday and Tuesday at Sunrise Elementary School and our final business meeting on Wednesday at Rancho Cordova City Hall. All of the meetings begin at 6 p.m. I hope you will be able to attend one of them next week. In addition to the regular city council meetings that are part of our schedules, the town hall public meetings, and representing our city on different boards, I was fortunate to be part of a different town hall meeting last Saturday with Congressman Ami Bera and Assemblyman Ken Cooley. I think it was rather unique in that at the meeting your elected officials from the federal government, the state government, and your municipal government were all there to answer questions. Some of the questions were for Congressman Bera: For example, what about the upcoming congressional vote about Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) guidelines to the President on trade policy and negotiating objectives? Among other things, the TPA supports U.S. job growth and helps export more “Made in America” products abroad. Another question asked was, “What is Congress doing to help veterans?” Some questions were for Assemblyman Cooley: What is the state doing to protect seniors from fraud or scams; to help the homeless; or to help small businesses? One question for the state was, “How can people get more involved with the state budget process?” And a repeat question, “What is the state doing to help veterans?” And most of the questions for your local municipality were either directly or indirectly connected to the state or the federal government. Repairing the street in front of your house is definitely local, but federal, state, and local revenues are involved. What is the city doing to help the homeless, seniors, parks, and schools? And the city was also asked what the city is doing to help veterans. The audience of 62 people was a very good turn out for a meeting on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The questions were written on cards that the audience turned in, and there were 24 cards given to staff for the three of us to answer. Some of the questions were similar, but there were 10 different questions in the end. Some questions needed more of a one-on-one type answer, and they were taken care of after the meeting ended. I hope there will be more town hall meetings like that in the nottoo-distant future. Almost all of the questions asked at the meeting involved taxes of some sort. Whether it was trade, jobs, small businesses, state budget process, helping seniors, or questions about veterans, all unfortunately came with taxes and how it was spent by the government (or was not spent). We all want our taxes to be spent where they will help the highest number of people, but we need to pay attention. Mark Twain said, “The only difference between tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.” Our town hall meetings are being held so we can decide where the Measure H sales tax money goes (and leave the skin). From Mayor Bob McGarvey, God bless, and see you next time. H Foster Care The need is great for loving, safe homes for foster children ages 0-18 & pregnant/parenting teens.

As a child, I heard the call to repent burst from the lips of many a revival preacher. With the evangelist’s bulging carotids, burning eyes, and angry finger pointing, I could feel the fires of hell licking at my heels. With “turn or burn, get right or get left,” as a vital piece of my spirituality, I repented every chance I got (whether I needed it or not). But for most, this kind of intensity is reserved for the sandwich-board-prophets of our time; those walking the streets with the declaration that “The End Is Near.” Or sometimes you find a wild-eyed television evangelist furiously condemning immorality. Many proponents of organized religion are very angry, and sometimes ruthlessly so, taking real pleasure in pounding the pulpit, and they can hardly wait for God’s consuming wrath to fall on the ungodly. Repentance is thrown out there as a lifeline, but secretly, I don’t know if they really want anyone to actually escape. How could some religionists be happy for all eternity if they knew that all the sinners, heretics, and reprobates weren’t actually burning in hell somewhere? Still, we should not let the fuming fundamentalists of the world rob us of a good word: Repent. Yes, we must repent. But what does that mean? It means we must change our minds or turn around. It means the direction we are heading is a dead end, so we start over. It means the thoughts we are constructing are destructive. It means we recognize that the way we are living is not life at all. Sure, we preachers like to use the word in the context of lying, cheating, stealing, and such, but I don’t think it is that simplistic. True repentance is to completely forsake one way of life and take up another. Repentance means our hardness of heart is replaced by compassion; vengeance is replaced by forgiveness; those we despised because of their race or color or gender are now accepted; and where there was greed, now is found generosity. A couple of years ago a friend of mine decided he wanted to do more camping, to get out and experience the great outdoors. He went out and bought this huge, grotesque recreational vehicle that was a rolling luxury home. Satellite television; queen-sized bed; stainless steel appliances; Berber carpet; surround sound. This vehicle was a technological masterpiece, and I was scandalized. If you’re going to go camping, go camping. Strap on a backpack. Hike a few hills and feel the burn in your thighs and in your lungs. Eat out of a can. Sit around a camp fire. Sleep in a tent with a stream lulling you to sleep. Swat bugs. Count the blisters on your feet every night. That’s camping. RVs are great, but don’t roll around the countryside in such a limousine and call it “camping.” So I said to my friend, “Russ, you can go to the woods and never leave home!” He answered, “That’s the idea.” We live our lives the same way. Yes, we need to change some things–our attitudes, our priorities, our biases–we need to repent. Instead, we often just rearrange the furniture, change our surroundings a bit, or adjust the landscape. But our way of life remains the same. Do you have relationship troubles? Well, just change partners. Is your career in the toilet? Change jobs. Have you grown tired of the troubles at home? Change houses. You can do all of these things and succeed in only taking your dysfunction down the road with you, never experiencing anything that resembles transformation. Repentance is not about saying a prayer or complying with the wishes of some wild-eyed preacher. It is about conversion. It is about a fundamental change in who you are, not just a change of scenery. Ultimately, it is about becoming who you were always made to be. Ronnie McBrayer is a syndicated columnist, blogger, pastor, and author of multiple books.

Years ago I wrote about being mindful of the interrupting thoughts that come up when you’re doing boring housecleaning jobs like folding laundry or vacuuming and dusting. Using “make the bed” as an example of a boring job, I set my stopwatch and began making it, ready to catch that first mental interruption. Six seconds in, the thought came, ‘there’s pie in the refrigerator.’ In the course of the four-minute job, my mind came up with 17 suggestions of other things to do! Here’s a similar result from Debra Biddle Linn, one of my readers: I did the experiment of starting a boring job and seeing how quickly my mind was interrupted by wanting to do something else. I was folding laundry, the whites. I suddenly wanted to go online and find some T-shirts and order them for my husband to replace some of the old holy ones he has. I made myself stop those thoughts and keep going. Then I thought of a trip some friends went on recently, and wanted to go look online and find information about a tour for ourselves. (Stopped that one too). I think it will really help to start becoming aware of how my mind acts when doing routine housework. Next I started thinking of a Why. Why I want to change. My reason this past year is that I want to get my house in order for when I have grandkids. Hopefully that won’t be long from now. I want my daughter to feel good about my grandkids coming over and hopefully even spending the night. I don’t want them to think of Grandma’s house as one that is always a mess. Debra Biddle Linn I’ve found the best trick to staying on task comes from good ol’ Tony Robbins. Choose a disgusting horn noise to make, and make the noise every time you catch yourself with a thought that would pull you away from the job at hand. I found that air horn sound you hear at basketball games works well for me. It’s offensive to my ears and it hurts my throat to do it. That’s all it takes to shut that part of my mind off and it leaves me in peace to finish anything I start. Knowing, now, how powerful your mind is in sidetracking your focus from within, can you see how clutter plays a role in sidetracking you in the same way? Let’s say you set out with a certain intention, like fix dinner and as you head to the kitchen you see the blouse you left in the chair because it needs a button. It wouldn’t take much for you to end up in the car on your way to the mall to buy a Kevin Kitrell Ross Coach to America’s Rising Stars For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view. H A positive path for spiritual living Senior Minister/CEO Unity of Sacramento Host, Design Your Life on UnityOnlineRadio.org new one, forgetting about making dinner. That’s why clutter keeps you from finding peace. Much of the clutter is depressing. In The Joy of Being Disorganized I wrote that clutter has a voice. The stack of old magazines cries from under the end table, “Read me.” The unfolded laundry on the couch says, “Fold me and put me away.” The dirty dishes whine to be put in the dishwasher, and the pile of papers beg to be filed. Before you know it, the contents of your whole house are screaming at you to do something! Getting rid of clutter both inside and outside of your head leads to finding peace within. Just five minutes a day decluttering is enough to keep your home streamlined and peaceful. If you haven’t been doing that daily, of course you’ll have to spend more than five minutes a day getting rid of what you no longer like. A clutter-free home is heaven. Just think, there are no storage units in heaven, so why do we need them here?

Source: Meals on Wheels by ACC H Patricia and Kristen are on a mission to save girls money without sacrificing style. With that mission in mind, they have launched a new business, Princess Prom Rentals. Patricia, a Rancho Cordova native and Cordova High School graduate, met Kristen while studying abroad in Brussels, Belgium. The pair stayed in touch after returning to opposite coasts. While participating in a Miss America pageant, Kristen had trouble affording the dresses needed to compete for the scholarship. She felt it was a waste of money to spend hundreds of dollars for a dress that is only worn for a few hours. After sharing her experience with Patricia, they both agreed that they wanted to offer girls a way to have the dress of their dreams without spending a fortune, and the idea of Princess Prom Rentals was born! By renting dresses online, girls are able to afford designer dresses that usually cost more than $500 for as little at $80 to wear to special events like prom, pageants, or homecoming.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 99862111. 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Where the CFD is uninhabited (as is the case here) the qualified electors are, pursuant to law, the owners of property within the CFD. This is the notice of the public hearing. At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or potential special taxpayers for or against the proposal will be heard. If written protests against the proposal are delivered to the City Clerk at or before the time set for the hearing by owners of property within the CFD, they will be counted toward a possible majority protest. Such protests by a majority of the registered voters residing within the CFD or by the owners of a majority of the land area within CFD which is or will be subject to the special tax, if not withdrawn prior to the close of the hearing so as to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, will require the proposal to be eliminated from immediate consideration, and prevent its being included in a subsequent proceedings for at least one year. If this Council, after the public hearing, determines that a majority protest under Section 53337 of the Government Code was not made at the hearing, the Council may conduct an election by mailed ballot regarding the proposal The City of Rancho Cordova encourages interested parties to attend public meetings and comment on the issues being discussed.

Slim Randles’ HOME COUNTRY “Now you tell me … when you blow something up, does it get bigger or smaller?” Instead of the philosophy counter, we were at the righteous round table yesterday, because Herb got there first and he picked. It’s a good venue at the Mule Barn truck stop when you’re expecting more than three or four members of the world dilemma think tank. But we weren’t expecting Windy. Here he came, Alphonse “Windy” Wilson, feed store philosopher extraordinaire, and parlayer of his own peculiar palaver. “Hi guys,” Windy said, “what a treat to discover you all here in togetherness this fine morning.” “We’re here every morning, Windy, drag up a chair,” said Doc. “You fellas ever study much about this here Big Bang theory? Well, I reconnoitered it just a while ago and it is seriously obfusticated,” Windy said. He flipped his cup to the upright and fillable position just as Loretta arrived with the pot. “Don’t make no sense to me a-tall,” he said. “Yessir, they says that about 13 billion years ago there wasn’t anything here. Nothing. Well, ‘cept this little atomic thingie ‘bout smaller than a grain of sand. Can you imagine? So they tells us now that this little grain of sand one day just decided to blow up.” He doctored his coffee and continued. “Now, I’m not kidding on this. They then says that when this tiny thing blew up, it scattered pieces all over the universe and that those pieces got big and made Earth and Arcturelius and Geminizer and all the stars. Yessir. One little granulation of explosive sand! Now you tell me … when you blow something up, does it get bigger or smaller?” No one ventured to answer that. Finally, Doc said, “Actually, Windy, recent thinking tends to disallow the Big Bang theory. Says it didn’t happen that way.” Windy grinned. “I knew it all along,” he said. “Yessir!” Brought to you by the Home Country podcast at http://www. doublewidenetwork.com/index. php/MusicStarWorldwide/detail/ home_country H GOT LOCAL NEWS?

But the Lancers were dealt back-to-back losses. The most recent was on March 20th when they fell to Christian Brothers 10-0 in a non-conference game in Sacramento. Cordova (0-4 in the Sierra Valley Conference, 1-9 overall) trailed 3-0 in the fourth inning. That’s when the host Falcons flew to seven runs to secure the win. The Lancers had four hits in the game: Riley Robson, Jeremy Buck, Jarrett Harris, and Zachery Guerrero had a hit each. All hits were singles. Remain Perfect in SVC Action “We played tough ball against them for three innings,” said Cordova head coach Guy Anderson. Liberty Ranch 8, Cordova 5 In an SVC home game on March 19th, the Lancers and Hawks combined for 21 hits; Cordova had nine and Liberty Ranch finished with a dozen. “A real good ball game,” said Anderson of this contest. “We played six good innings, but we always have one [inning] that gets us in a hole. That one was a tough one to swallow. The kids did pretty good.” Cordova led 4-2 entering the top of the fourth inning. That’s when Liberty Ranch scored a run to cut the Lancers’ lead to 4-3. But in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Lancers added another run that would By Mike Bush RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Cordova pitcher Riley Robson (No. 11) goes into his windup in the Lancers’ home conference game against Liberty Ranch last week. Photo by Rae Lynn Flippo ultimately be their last. After a scoreless sixth frame, Liberty Ranch erupted for five runs in the seventh inning for the win. Jacob Jaquez had a great day at the plate for the Lancers. He went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. One of the hits was a double. Cordova batters who had two hits were Robson, Guerrero, Buck, and Harris—who had a double in the game. Earlier this week, Cordova continued SVC action with games against Union Mine and El Dorado. On Friday, March 27th, the Lancers will host Brookside Christian in a non-conference game. First pitch is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Cordova Easter Tournament Awaiting the pitch is Cordova’s Michael Brown (No. 28). Photo by Rae Lynn Flippo On Monday, March 30th, the annual Cordova Easter Tournament gets underway at the CHS diamond. In pool play action, the Lancers play Bear River at noon and Mesa Verde at 3:30 p.m. Pool play continues for Cordova on Tuesday, March 31st, but with one game against Las Lomas at 3:30 p.m. How the Lancers do in pool play will determine who they play next Wednesday, April 1st. The remaining 10 teams playing are Atwater, Monterey Trail of Elk Grove, Center, Jerry Manual Foundation Academy, Rosemont, and Sacramento. H In the March 20th game on the Lancers’ diamond, Cordova scored two times in the second, on against the Wildcats and appeared to have the momentum working toward a second upset. But Arizona, 33-3, methodically took over the game and pulled away to win, 73-58, and may be a worthy challenger to Kentucky’s dominance. Tried to stay up alone again to watch a second game, but quickly passed out on the couch. Kentucky, now 36-0 after two easy victories, is trying to run the table and become the first Division I team to complete an undefeated season since Bobby Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers went 32-0 in 1976. But KU’s Wildcats have been something to see because of how good they are, yet hard to stay with for the duration of a game because of how few close games they have had. Haven’t even had the time, or made the time, to watch any of Gonzaga, Michigan State or Wisconsin, three programs deemed fun to follow. What has happened to college basketball? Why can’t the games hold interest? Why don’t people talk about it as much as they used to, if at all? Why are there all of those empty seats at the Regionals? Around here in Northern California the answers are easy — because none of our teams are in the tournament mix. Stanford was too inconsistent; Cal had one good stretch, but overall was not very good; Saint Mary’s had a weak supporting cast around star big man Brad Waldow; USF and Santa Clara were USF and Santa Clara. Surprising UC Davis and Sacramento State created a stir by both challenging to reach the tournament for the first time, but both teams faded in the final weeks and missed the ride to The Dance. In the big picture though, there are a number of factors that are producing an overall sense that interest is waning. The “one-and-done” phenomenon (a specialty of coach John Calipari and Kentucky) and the early departure of the premier players to chase after their professional dreams has had an undeniable effect on the college game. Fans attain such limited familiarity with the players; they are gone before you come to appreciate their “game,” and there is not a lot of continuity on team rosters from year to year. That also has an effect on the quality of play. There is plenty of poor shooting and sloppy play, an a lot of uninspiring, low-scoring games. END of the BENCH by Gerry Scholl The Games and Life Go On and On Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Busy dealing with fastmoving, real life lately, there hasn’t been much time to stop and look around — at the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament that is. Didn’t even get around to the annual tradition of filling out a bracket. Looking at it and catching up after some of the results have come in, and filling in the teams that would have been our actual picks, of course, we are doing really good. With the weekend booked up with real-life events and necessities, we were together enough to plan ahead and DVR most of the NCAA schedule of games. Looking at it now — OMG!! The list of games goes on and on… There are 21 games recorded (plus two NIT games; “Why?” you ask). What’s a basketball fan to do? There will never be enough time to watch them all, certainly not before the next round is upon us. The option must be to pick and choose. From the radio and television reports and highlights, and the results in the newspapers, we can target particular games that would be worth the while to check out, and skip through them commercial-free and eventually delete the rest to make room for more. But all of that really defuses the vibe. Much of the excitement of the tournament comes from the anticipation of the In its last three Sierra Valley Conference (SVC) games, the Cordova High School softball team has been on a roll. The Lady Lancers have outscored their opponents by a 26-1 margin, which includes 13 hits in each game. That included Monday’s 8-0 win over Liberty Ranch at the Galt Softball Complex. Cordova (4-0 in the SVC, 8-1 overall) led 3-0 as it entered the top of the seventh inning with two outs. Then Tiana Brown clubbed a home run, and teammates Joycelyn Brown and Leila Cooper smacked a double and triple, respectively, for the Lancers. Adding base hits in the inning were Nikki Jones, Mason Pittaro, and Vanessa Cain. Jones finished the game at the plate by going 3-for-5; winning pitcher Megan Stacy went 2-for-3 and Cain went 2-for-4. On the mound, Stacy walked the first Liberty Ranch batter she faced. Then she retired the next 21 batters. Stacy finished the game with 15 strikeouts. “We are getting outstanding pitching and playing good defense,” said Cordova head coach Lindy Willeford. “The bats have been lively with lots of power. Hopefully we can keep it up.” win-or-go-home format and watching it unfold before your eyes. Jumping around from game to game destroys the feel. Knowing the end results kills it. Did get a chance to watch most of one game alone late at night — Wichita State (our dark-horse pick) d. Indiana, 81-76. That was a good one, and taking a look at the Shockers’ following 78-65 upset of Kansas is a must. WS senior point guard Fred VanVleet looks like a player at the next level.

Call 773-1111 Add in a wide-ranging variety of misconduct, misdeeds and violations over many years on the parts of coaches, players, teams — the pressure to win is so great, it can make people do some terrible things. We’ve had NCAA rulesbreaking galore, point-shaving, recruiting violations, payments to players, ineligible players, physical abuses, academic fraud, sex scandals, and even the murder of a teammate (at Baylor). The cumulative effect of it all over the years has been that the fans may never again believe the game is genuine, that things operate on the up-and-up. Many top programs have been tainted through the decades, such as Boston College, Arizona State, Georgia, Tennessee, Memphis, Michigan, Tulane, Cal (remember coach Bozeman?), Louisville, Indiana, UConn, Cincinnati, North Carolina, and most recently Syracuse, which has been hit with a loss of scholarships, vacated wins and a post-season ban over an array of issues (coach Boheim, don’t wait the three years to retire, you should have done it long ago because we never liked you anyway). That list would make for quite an interesting bracket.H LEGAL ADS FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY? We Can Do That!

In the round of 32, Cincinnati gave the Wildcats some difficulty early on, but Kentucky’s depth and length were too much to handle. The Bearcats tried to get under Kentucky’s skin with a physical game, to no avail. If anything was an issue, Kentucky’s guards had an off game against Cincinnati. Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis combined to shoot 12-of-34 from the field overall and 4-of-15 from 3. Underdog — Wichita State A disclaimer: The underdog label is not appropriate for Wichita State. In the last three years, this program has gone to the Final Four, started a season 35–0 and conquered Kansas in the Round of 32. The Shockers have accomplished more in recent years than their Sweet 16 opponent, Notre Dame. But No. 7 Wichita State is the lowest-seeded team remaining in the region. After the buildup to the anticipated matchup with the Jayhawks, the Shockers’ energy levels will be a storyline to watch. Kentucky vs. West Virginia again Kentucky and West Virginia have met in the NCAA Tournament three times since John Calipari and Bob Huggins have been at their current posts. The most recent was a 71–63 Kentucky win in the Round of 32 in 2011. The most memorable was in the 2010 Elite Eight when fourth-seeded West Virginia upset a top-seeded Kentucky team led by John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. This year’s meeting will be just as compelling when undefeated Kentucky faces West Virginia’s relentless pressure. The Quote “I’d talk to her during the season and very rarely did I get ‘Hey, Mike, how you doing?’ It’s like, ‘Have you got them ready? Are they ready? I think we can beat Duke, Mike.’ It’s unbelievable. She was intense.” — Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, who revealed Saturday his mother, Betty Brey, died the morning of Notre Dame’s 67–64 overtime win over Butler. Top Dog — Wisconsin The Badgers are making their fourth Sweet 16 appearance in the last five seasons, but the goals are far more grand than they once were for the Wisconsin program. To reach the Final Four for the second consecutive season, the Badgers have to get through North Carolina. The Tar Heels are generally regarded as a dynamic offensive team because of their up-and-down style, but Wisconsin ranks first in the nation in offensive efficiency. The battle for tempo will be the most interesting matchup of this intriguing Sweet 16 showdown. Underdog — Xavier Xavier is no stranger to this stage. The Musketeers are in the Sweet 16 for the fifth time in the last eight years. But they’re also a No. 6 seed among giants Wisconsin, Arizona and North Carolina. With freshman Trevon Bluiett and sophomore Jalen Reynolds emerging as key players, this Xavier team is peaking at the right time. A run to the Final Four is not out of the question. Familiar faces for Sean Miller The selection committee made sure Sean Miller’s path to his first Final Four was an emotional one. To get to the Sweet 16, the Arizona coach had to go head to head with Ohio State coach Thad Matta, his predecessor and former boss at Xavier. Miller’s Sweet 16 matchup will be against Xavier, a team he coached for five seasons. On the Xavier bench is Chris Mack, who spent all five of those seasons on Miller’s staff before succeeding him with the Musketeers. If Miller is to advance to the Final Four for the first time in his career, he will have to beat two of his best friends in the business. The Quote “It’s been a hard year, it really has. I probably acted sillier in the locker room after this game than I have in quite a while. I’m going to try to enjoy the dickens out of this one for a while.” — North Carolina coach Roy Williams after the 87–78 win over Arkansas, referring to the passing of mentor and UNC legend Dean Smith earlier this year. Top Dog — Oklahoma For the first time since 2004, a regional will begin with the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds eliminated in the first weekend. That leaves No. 3 Oklahoma as the top-seeded team in the East region. The Sooners held off Dayton in the Round of 32 thanks to some late heroics by Buddy Hield. He’s usually a big-time shotmaker, but it was his block that helped seal the win over the Flyers. Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger is taking his fourth team to the Sweet 16, but he hasn’t taken a team beyond that since the 1994 Final Four at Florida. Underdog — NC State NC State was one of the most frustrating teams during the regular season, a team with the talent to be at the top in the ACC, but also a team capable of losing to Clemson, Boston College and Wake Forest. LSU collapsed down the stretch in the round of 64, and Villanova’s offense went cold for an entire game as NC State advanced to the Sweet 16. Cat Barber, Trevor Lacey and Abdul-Malik Abu are a talented trio, and the Wolfpack can’t be dismissed simply because they are a No. 8 seed in the Sweet 16. An All-ACC Sweet 16 game With memberships ballooning in the major conferences, the selection committee is having a tougher and tougher time of making sure that conference teams don’t play each other until the Elite Eight. The ACC sent six of its 15 members to the field and two of them — Louisville and NC State — will meet in the Sweet 16. On an ACC court in the Carrier Dome, no less. The Louisville-NC State meeting in the regional semifinal was permissible since the two teams played only once during the regular season. NC State won 74–65 on Feb. 14. The Quote “(Former Michigan State All-American) Draymond Green actually this morning said, ‘Don’t let this be your last game,’ and I texted him back and said, ‘I won’t.’ But that was our mindset coming in. We knew they were a great team, we had to jump out on them early.” — Michigan State guard Travis Trice on his hot start against Virginia Top Dog — Duke Even before the Tournament, Duke looked like the easy favorite in the South region. The first two games made the pick look even easier. The Blue Devils made easy work of Robert Morris and then had no trouble with the length of San Diego State in the Round of 32. The Blue Devils averaged 1.11 points per possession against San Diego State, the third-highest average by an opponent against the Aztecs this season. Jahlil Okafor was 12-of-16 from the field for 26 points, but the most impressive player may have been Justise Winslow. The freshman had 13 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in a highlight-reel day. Underdog — UCLA Go ahead and debate if UCLA should be in the field in the first place, but it’s no question the Bruins have taken advantage of the selection committee’s vote of confidence. A goaltending call late in the Round of 64 gave UCLA a leg up on SMU, and the Bruins thrashed No. 11 seed UAB in 92–75 to go to the Sweet 16. UCLA isn’t a deep team, but the Bruins can score. UCLA’s starting five scored 88 points against the Blazers, and Bryce Alford, the coach’s son, is one of the most lethal 3-point shooters left in the tournament. Gonzaga’s redemption The Bulldogs have been snakebitten in the NCAA Tournament, reaching the Sweet 16 only once since 2006. The program hasn’t won in the Sweet 16 since 1999, the year before Mark Few became the head coach. This is one of Few’s best teams in 16 seasons in Spokane, but Gonzaga will need to conquer one demon to reach the regional final. The Sweet 16 matchup with UCLA is a rematch of the 2006 regional semifinal that ended with National Player of the Year Adam Morrison in tears after a 73–71 Bruins win. The Quote “Now we look around and it’s like, ‘Pinch me. Here we are.’ It’s been a fun run with a lot of these guys that have been a part of it.” — Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak, whose first team at Utah in 2011-12 went 6–25. The Utes are in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005. www.RanchoCordovaIndependent.com 16 • The Independent March 27, 2015 Tickets Available for One-Time Showing of “Oh Mr. Sousa!” Living Trust Senior Special with this ad RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - “Oh If you have a house, you need a Trust.
