Vow to keep your home in shape too

Many of us set ourselves up each year with resolutions. Work out more, eat less...you know the drill. Why not resolve to keep your home healthier this year too, with this seasonal checklist:

Spring time-Clean your gutters. Backed-up gutters can wreak havoc on siding and cause flooding. Scoop out leaves and debris with a trowel or hire a professional to do it. Check your roof. Wintery weather may have damaged the surface, and the first big rainstorm, left unchecked, could cause significant problems. Replace shingles as needed. If your fireplace got a workout during the winter months, give it a clean sweep. Best to call in the experts to inspect and clean creosote buildup.

Summer-Walk around your house to check for unsealed spots where squirrels or mice could sneak in. Look carefully for termites or ants too. Inside check your attic and make sure egess points are sealed tightly. Get ready for the warm season by giving any outdoor equipment (pools, swing sets, etc.) a thorough, top to bottom cleaning.

Fall-Ensure your furnace is in prime shape for he cold months ahead, and change all he air filters in your home. Make sure your home is adequately sealed. Apply weather stripping (such as tape, felt, foam, or vinyl tubing) around doors and windows. Trim branches near your home or roof to prevent damage when wintery weather hits.

Winter-Drain and insulate outdoor pipes to prevent freezing. Check for damaged sidewalk, driveway or stairs, and repair them before the first snow to avoid damaged mishaps.

This is all-so important, to avoid costly repairs from not keeping things "tuned up"-trust me, I've learned my lesson-hence, I share some of these points-to keep you from the expense I incurred this year-from "letting things go"-if I left something off this list, don't be shy-let me know!

Fireworks are coming back to Cameron Park-It's the Summer Spectacular! (edit/delete)

Don't miss out! The most popular event in Cameron Park...this is the 11th Annual Summer spectular event, coming to Cameron Park Lake off Cambridge Road, this July 3rd. The Community Services District is the provider of the firework show-which always has been, just as the name says..."Spectacular!" Be sure to get there early, it is a day full of activity that you truly do not want to miss. parking can be interesting- because of the Residents' right to their street parking areas, so often these areas are blocked off by the CSD. Last year there were more than 8 thousand people that took part in, and enjoyed the food, crafts, musical entertainment, and more. Some even got to meet many of the neighborhood Fireman-and were also able to take a free CPR class! This is a ticketed event-you can get them at the Food for Less in Cameron Park, beginning July 1st...you will want to do this, to avoid the lines at the gate. $3.00 in advance, or $5.00 at the gate. Children 10 years and younger, are FREE! This year they have 3 bands-that are favorites of the El Dorado County folk-Steelin' Dan, Late for Dinner and the Gun shy band! That alone is worth the ticket price! The festivities begin at 3P.M.-don't forget-get there early!

Cameron Park needs Craig!

Yes-that's what I said ,Craig Therkildson for Sheriff! Be sure to cast your vote this June 8th. Endorsed by previous County Sheriff Jeff Neves, myself-your Resident Realtor, and Neighborhood specialist-as well as the majority of our County ( I assume! that is, if they know what is good for them!) I have been to several town hall meetings the past few months, and have met Craig and his wife Polly, both at his fundraiser dinner at Papa Giani's here in town, as well as at Oak Ridge high school-just last night. I have weighed the differences and, in some cases- the similarities of all the men running for the position. I have heard them all speek many times-and have talked to others in the Department that have worked with Craig and whom know the other candidates, as well. I know what I am saying, when I tell you that your vote is safe with Craig. As your neighborhood representative-and someone who not only sells homes in our community-but whom sells "our Community", and on a regular basis-

I know what it means to have the right person running our County Department. Be sure to check out his personal website at: http://www.craig4sheriff.com/ and, don't forget to cast your vote this June 8th! For anything you may wish to know about Cameron Park, or any other town in our fine County-call your neighborhood representative-
