ldquoThe Sacramento Claims Association is always committed to maintaining a high degree of professional courtesy within our ranksrdquo The organization has been actively taking measures to continue to raise its standing within the community at large as well
contributing to local charitable causes at every turnThere seems to be a bit of a revival of carriers supporting their claims people joining and supporting their local as-sociations The SCA Board has opted to continue to offer annual FREE Memberships to insurance carrier adjusters Completion and submission of a simple membership application now allows all such claims people the benefits of membership Sign up or renew now at wwwSacra-

ROSEVILLE Calif ndash Magaly Morales 51 was sentenced March 25 2015 to three years and four months in state prison after pleading guilty to forgery identity theft and aggravated white collar crime enhancement for losses over $100000Morales was arrested in De-cember 2014 on multiple felony counts for submitting 299 fraud-ulent annuity applications and collecting more than $230000 in advanced commissionsldquoLicensed agents and brokers have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients and the companies they representrdquo said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones
ldquoWhen someone violates that trust as Morales did by steal-ing peoplesrsquo identities it erodes consumer confidencerdquo As a licensed insurance agent for Great American Life Insurance Company Morales gained ac-cess to policyholdersrsquo data from 2009 to 2011 Morales used her authority as an agent to steal information from school district employees in 13 counties across the state from Shasta to San Luis Obispo The largest number of victims was in San Joaquin County Using the stolen identi-ties of innocent victims Morales submitted annuity applications to Life Insurance Company of
the Southwest and received ad-vanced commissions on annuity policies for people who had no idea they owned such policies Due to Moralesrsquo illegal activity identity theft victims did not have to pay any premiums on the fraudulent policiesThis case was a joint effort be-tween the California Department of Insurance and the San Joaquin County District Attorneyrsquos Of-fice Magaly Morales is also known as Maglay EgasAs of January 15 2015 Magaly Morales is no longer licensed to transact insurance in California
Check a California Licensed agentrsquos status and see if they have any enforcement actions The victims worked at various school districts spread through-out the following 13 counties

Since many building materials contain asbestos remodel repair and demolition activity in commercial and residential structures required to remove asbestos-containing materials may cause the release of asbestos fibers into the air These airborn fibers are hazardous
National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994

ldquoWhen someone violates that trust as Morales did by steal-ing peoplesrsquo identities it erodes consumer confidencerdquo As a licensed insurance agent for Great American Life Insurance Company Morales gained ac-cess to policyholdersrsquo data from 2009 to 2011 Morales used her authority as an agent to steal information from school district employees in 13 counties across the state from Shasta to San Luis Obispo The largest number of victims was in San Joaquin County Using the stolen identi-ties of innocent victims Morales submitted annuity applications to Life Insurance Company of
the Southwest and received ad-vanced commissions on annuity policies for people who had no idea they owned such policies Due to Moralesrsquo illegal activity identity theft victims did not have to pay any premiums on the fraudulent policiesThis case was a joint effort be-tween the California Department of Insurance and the San Joaquin County District Attorneyrsquos Of-fice Magaly Morales is also known as Maglay EgasAs of January 15 2015 Magaly Morales is no longer licensed to transact insurance in California

National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994

ROSEVILLE Calif ndash Magaly Morales 51 was sentenced March 25 2015 to three years and four months in state prison after pleading guilty to forgery identity theft and aggravated white collar crime enhancement for losses over $100000Morales was arrested in De-cember 2014 on multiple felony counts for submitting 299 fraud-ulent annuity applications and collecting more than $230000 in advanced commissionsldquoLicensed agents and brokers have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients and the companies they representrdquo said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones
ldquoWhen someone violates that trust as Morales did by steal-ing peoplesrsquo identities it erodes consumer confidencerdquo As a licensed insurance agent for Great American Life Insurance Company Morales gained ac-cess to policyholdersrsquo data from 2009 to 2011 Morales used her authority as an agent to steal information from school district employees in 13 counties across the state from Shasta to San Luis Obispo The largest number of victims was in San Joaquin County Using the stolen identi-ties of innocent victims Morales submitted annuity applications to Life Insurance Company of
the Southwest and received ad-vanced commissions on annuity policies for people who had no idea they owned such policies Due to Moralesrsquo illegal activity identity theft victims did not have to pay any premiums on the fraudulent policiesThis case was a joint effort be-tween the California Department of Insurance and the San Joaquin County District Attorneyrsquos Of-fice Magaly Morales is also known as Maglay EgasAs of January 15 2015 Magaly Morales is no longer licensed to transact insurance in California

National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994

Former Roseville insurance agent convicted of stealing school district employeesrsquo identities
ROSEVILLE Calif ndash Magaly Morales 51 was sentenced March 25 2015 to three years and four months in state prison after pleading guilty to forgery identity theft and aggravated white collar crime enhancement for losses over $100000Morales was arrested in De-cember 2014 on multiple felony counts for submitting 299 fraud-ulent annuity applications and collecting more than $230000 in advanced commissionsldquoLicensed agents and brokers have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients and the companies they representrdquo said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones
ldquoWhen someone violates that trust as Morales did by steal-ing peoplesrsquo identities it erodes consumer confidencerdquo As a licensed insurance agent for Great American Life Insurance Company Morales gained ac-cess to policyholdersrsquo data from 2009 to 2011 Morales used her authority as an agent to steal information from school district employees in 13 counties across the state from Shasta to San Luis Obispo The largest number of victims was in San Joaquin County Using the stolen identi-ties of innocent victims Morales submitted annuity applications to Life Insurance Company of
the Southwest and received ad-vanced commissions on annuity policies for people who had no idea they owned such policies Due to Moralesrsquo illegal activity identity theft victims did not have to pay any premiums on the fraudulent policiesThis case was a joint effort be-tween the California Department of Insurance and the San Joaquin County District Attorneyrsquos Of-fice Magaly Morales is also known as Maglay EgasAs of January 15 2015 Magaly Morales is no longer licensed to transact insurance in California
Check a California Licensed agentrsquos status and see if they have any enforcement actions The victims worked at various school districts spread through-out the following 13 counties

Since many building materials contain asbestos remodel repair and demolition activity in commercial and residential structures required to remove asbestos-containing materials may cause the release of asbestos fibers into the air These airborn fibers are hazardous
National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994

ROSEVILLE Calif ndash Magaly Morales 51 was sentenced March 25 2015 to three years and four months in state prison after pleading guilty to forgery identity theft and aggravated white collar crime enhancement for losses over $100000Morales was arrested in De-cember 2014 on multiple felony counts for submitting 299 fraud-ulent annuity applications and collecting more than $230000 in advanced commissionsldquoLicensed agents and brokers have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients and the companies they representrdquo said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones
ldquoWhen someone violates that trust as Morales did by steal-ing peoplesrsquo identities it erodes consumer confidencerdquo As a licensed insurance agent for Great American Life Insurance Company Morales gained ac-cess to policyholdersrsquo data from 2009 to 2011 Morales used her authority as an agent to steal information from school district employees in 13 counties across the state from Shasta to San Luis Obispo The largest number of victims was in San Joaquin County Using the stolen identi-ties of innocent victims Morales submitted annuity applications to Life Insurance Company of
the Southwest and received ad-vanced commissions on annuity policies for people who had no idea they owned such policies Due to Moralesrsquo illegal activity identity theft victims did not have to pay any premiums on the fraudulent policiesThis case was a joint effort be-tween the California Department of Insurance and the San Joaquin County District Attorneyrsquos Of-fice Magaly Morales is also known as Maglay EgasAs of January 15 2015 Magaly Morales is no longer licensed to transact insurance in California

Since many building materials contain asbestos remodel repair and demolition activity in commercial and residential structures required to remove asbestos-containing materials may cause the release of asbestos fibers into the air These airborn fibers are hazardous
National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994

Since many building materials contain asbestos remodel repair and demolition activity in commercial and residential structures required to remove asbestos-containing materials may cause the release of asbestos fibers into the air These airborn fibers are hazardous
National Asbestos Awareness Week | April 2015
Asbestos Awareness Keeps Every Job Site SafeBy Haven Fry
Asbestos is still being mined imported and used in the United States despite being confirmed as a human carcinogen Asbestos fibers can be nearly 700 times smaller than human hairAsbestos fibers can be inhaled eas-ily and are difficult for the lungs to expel because each fiber has a tiny barb like a fish hookAsbestos fibers are indestructible odorless and tasteless and can remain suspended in the air for hoursAsbestos related diseases include Lung Cancer Mesothelioma and AsbestosisSpecialty contractors like JM Environmental Inc must be certified to perform the removal of asbestos specially trained to ensure Zero Exposure to or Cross Contamination from Asbestos Containing Building Materials on all job sites A certified provider will use required safety measures like polyethylene sheeting waste
disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems These safety measures reduce the risk of bystander ex-posure to the Hazardous Materials being removed In working with an asbestos abatement contractor be sure they abide by the strict compliance requirements of OSHA EPA and Air Quality Regulatory AgenciesJM Environmental Inc employ-ees for our part are trained to han-dle asbestos material Cal OSHA oversees the training programs for our Supervisorrsquos and Workers JM Environmental Inc Supervisors and Workers complete refresher Certification every year The Cali-fornia Certificates are accepted in Nevada as wellNot all contractors are permit-ted to also transport hazardous waste JM Environmental Inc is specially licensed to do so When we leave the job site so does the hazardous wasteIt is adviseable to have your
team conduct a Job Site Safety Meeting at the beginning of each shift for every job site every day Topics to discuss include Poten-tial Hazards First Aid Safety Responsibility Fire Prevention Personal Protective Equipment Housekeeping Vehicles amp Heavy Equipment Tools amp Materials Ladders amp Scaffolding Industrial Sanitation amp Hygiene Construc-tion amp Maintenance Photos and Site Specific Instructions Asbestos Awareness and Job Site Safety must always be kept as a top priority At JM it is what keeps our Team Safe our Job Sites Safe and our Clients SafeHaven Fry is the Business Develop-ment Manager for JM ENVIRON-MENTAL INC a registered contrac-tor licensed by the state of California and the state of Nevada to perform Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition specializing in Asbestos Abatement since 1994
