I found another new place to eat! However, you’ll have to wait about three weeks, but it will be worth the wait. The motto for the new place is: “A deli-cious place to pig out.” It’s in Alta next to the railroad and across from the firehouse on Alta Bonnynook; it’s called EMILY’S NOSH. Owners Mark and Julie Kincheloe of Dutch Flat will be serving “healthy affordable meals that you can feel good about” from Tuesday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., plus Friday-night dinners. I’ve been there and so far, the renovations inside look really inviting. I’ll have more details next column, but in the meantime you can check out their website, www.emilysnosh.com.

A new Colfax-based business, ALLIED PROPERTY SERVICES, under the ownership of Ernie Faisst, is now operating. Ernie explained that in addition to being bonded and a licensed realtor, his own business Allied Property Services works primarily with banks and other real estate agents in real estate foreclosure situations. His company gets hired to clean up the property inside and outside, handle issues involving safety, do repairs that can be small or heavy duty like flooring or stripped out appliances and plumbing. Along with the hands-on work, he provides drive-by inspections and if needed a more detailed inspection of the property in order to maintain the value of the property. In those situations, he provides photographs to substantiate his findings. If you are an owner in foreclosure or an entity in charge of the legalities, you can contact Ernie at 613-4406. He and his family live here in Colfax, but the area for his business is the whole region of Placer and El Dorado counties from Colfax down into the Sacramento Valley.
