As the Grizzly Flat Post Office got back to business Wednesday morning, Postmaster Alicia Leech, right, was setting up Grizzly Flat residents with their new P.O. boxes. Resident Don Bishop, left, said, “Where does everyone go? They go to the post office, because you see people at the post office.”
YOU’VE GOT MAIL Staff writer
It has been said many times in various ways by the Grizzly Flat community. “The post office was a place for us to meet our neighbors.” “This was a place to run into people you knew and have a conversation.” Those sentiments have been heard for the past two years, since the Caldor Fire ravaged the small El Dorado County community in 2021. Among the hundreds of structures destroyed, the post office was one of the most talked about for Grizzly Flat folk. Surrounded by the charred aftermath of the devastation that occurred is a new sign of life at 4991 Sciaroni Road. The Grizzly Flat Post Office officially opened for business Wednesday.
Krysten Kellum Editor
Inside the small building U.S. Postal Service employees were seen giving residents keys to their new mailboxes, and giving and receiving mail. Such transactions often stopped as residents saw familiar faces, striking up conversation with each other, painting the image of what has been described. “This is what happens,” said Grizzly Flat resident Don Bishop. “You show up here, you see your
Looking for answers as to how a snowboarder was left inside a gondola the night of Jan. 25, Heavenly Mountain Resort management found a “breakdown in protocols.” Monica Laso, a Chilean woman on vacation with a group of friends, spent the day snowboarding at the South Lake Tahoe ski resort. She reportedly became exhausted and took a gondola bound for Heavenly Village, where she thought she would meet back up with her friends. Laso reportedly boarded the gondola between 3:50 and 4:10 p.m., around the time lifts stop spinning for the day. Heavenly Chief Operating Officer Tom Fortune on Tuesday shared some information as to what led to the snowboarder being left overnight dangling above the ski resort’s slopes as temperatures dipped to 23 degrees. Ultimately, Fortune takes the blame. “I am responsible for all aspects of mountain operations, including the safety of our guests,” reads a statement from Fortune. “We have rigorous protocols to ensure our gondola and chairlifts are fully unloaded each day. I have reviewed our investigation, and it is clear there was a breakdown in those protocols that day. I take full responsibility as well as ownership to ensure it is addressed so that it never happens again. I recognize the gravity of this guest’s experience and we all are grateful she

“When I heard what happened to Grizzly Flat, I expected to meet people who were downtrodden, having lost everything. That is not what I found at all.” — Alicia Leech, Grizzly Flat postmaster
Survey shows modest improvement for snowpack Mountain Democrat staff
PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
The Department of Water Resources on Tuesday conducted the second snow survey of the season at Phillips Station near Sierraat-Tahoe. The manual
survey recorded 29 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 10 inches, which is 58% of average for this location. The snow water equivalent measures the amount of water contained in the snowpack and is a key component of DWR’s water supply forecast. These results reflect a modest increase in the snowpack since Jan. 1, but overall conditions are still far below normal. DWR’s electronic readings from 130 stations placed throughout the state indicate the statewide snowpack’s snow water equivalent is 8.4 inches, or 52% of average for this date, an improvement from just 28% of average on Jan. 1. On Feb. 1, 2023, the snowpack statewide was 214% of average.

“This year’s El Niño has delivered below average precipitation and an even smaller snowpack,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. “Californians must prepare for all possible conditions during the remaining months of the rainy season.”
Despite additional precipitation in January, many storms so far this year have been warmer than average, producing rain rather than snow at higher elevations. Overall statewide precipitation is 82% of average for this date. Last year’s
snowpack was aided by both above average precipitation and below average temperatures that created a historic snowpack and improved reservoir storage statewide, which is still above average. Lake Oroville, the State Water Project’s largest
reservoir, is currently 76% of average. “Despite strong El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean, a highpressure system and several other climate factors have led to below average conditions so far ■ See SNOW SURVEY, page A7

Jon Barton
Dec. 11, 1950 – Dec. 29, 2023
In loving memory of Jon R. Barton, who bravely battled cancer until December 29th, 2023. Jon, a larger-than-life character, graced the lives of many with his vibrant spirit and infectious sense of humor. Whether reminiscing about his days at EDHS, where he served as the In-House Supervisor, or as the proud owner of Cuppa Joe coffee shop, Jon had an uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His heart was as big as his personality, and his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. Jon’s presence was a source of joy, and his wonderful sense of play and humor could light up even the darkest room. He was not just a provocateur; he was a maestro of laughter, leaving a trail of smiles wherever he went. Jon leaves behind a legacy of love, survived by his wife, “the lovely Wendy,” whom he met while stationed abroad during his service in the Army, his daughter Cassie (husband, Howard), son Shane (wife, Crystal), and his adored grandchildren, Hailey, Christian, Finley, and Olivia. To anyone who met him, it was evident that they were the light of his life. He considered himself fortunate and cherished every moment with his family and friends, whom he loved with unparalleled depth. The void left by Jon’s passing is immeasurable, but the memories of his laughter, warmth, and love will forever linger in our hearts. A celebration of Jon’s remarkable life will be announced at a later date, giving friends and family an opportunity to come together and honor the man who brought so much joy to our lives. May his spirit continue to shine in the memories we hold dear.

Newsom’s budgets have a lousy track record
A
review of recent state budgets and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s newly released 2024-25 budget proposal reveals truly monumental errors in revenue estimates by his fiscal advisors, particularly personal income taxes. The stark differences DAN WALTERS between estimates and reality, if continued, will affect the state budget’s solvency for at least the remaining years of Newsom’s governorship. Newsom’s latest budget acknowledges that income taxes, which are mostly paid by those in upper income brackets, are $44 billion less than previously projected for the three-year “budget window” from 2022-23 through 2024-25. But the shortfall is actually billions of dollars more. When Newsom and the Legislature enacted a 2022-23 budget in June 2022, it assumed that income taxes would bring in $129 billion. Later, that projection dropped to $122.8 billion and Newsom’s latest budget set it even lower at $101.8 billion, as state officials close the books on that fiscal year. The revenue The 2023-24 budget estimates in Gov. adopted last year projected $118.2 billion Gavin Newsom’s in income tax revenues, recent budgets but it’s since been have been off by as revised to $113.8 billion. And Newsom’s newest much as $17 billion, budget assumes that fueling skepticism income taxes will bring about his outlook in $114.7 billion for the fiscal year 2024-25, a $4 on the state’s billion drop from last financial reality. year’s assumption. Over the three-year period, Newsom pegs the revenue shortfall at $44 billion, but it’s more likely $51 billion if one begins with the original numbers from 2022-23 — when Newsom famously bragged about the state’s having a $98 billion surplus. “No other state in American history has ever experienced a surplus as large as this,” Newsom said as he unveiled a $300-plus billion budget that the Legislature eagerly adopted with a few tweaks. Newsom’s budget for 2024-25 assumes that the freefall in income tax receipts will end and revenues will actually pick up a bit next year. However, the Legislature’s budget analyst, Gabe Petek, sees continued revenue weakness and pegs the three-year shortfall at $58 billion. Their differing
SUMMARY

Letters to the Editor Unhappy conservatives EDITOR: believe that a very large problem for those who are conservative is allowing us to be categorized as left or right, because those who make the linear chart show fascism on the right and communism on the left. I don’t know a single conservative who longs for a fascist utopia, while I know many left wingers who want our country to be communist. If on a linear line, fascism and communism are both forms of totalitarianism, meaning they should be on the same side of the scale as Marx believed. With some honest self-introspection, I’d say the farther to the right one goes, the less impact one needs from society to the end destination being anarchy. On my scale anarchy would be on one side and communism on the other. I’ve inspired my whole life to be more of an Emerson, self-reliant, stream-of-thought, build-abetter-mousetrap type of person. I have no desire to have our government force people to do what they don’t want to. I do believe government plays a role but should not replace the role of what the local community has in place. Our government has replaced the roles of churches, community service organizations and local community organizations like the Elks and Lions clubs with government funded NGOs. These NGOs are for profit by those who run them — many times, members of a politician’s family. To be clear, I believe it’s already too late and we all live under a totalitarian state. By definition, we currently live under fascism and I don’t think any of my right-wing friends are happy about it. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

The U.S. Department of Energy forecasts that grid-scale battery storage cost will drop by 30% to 70% by 2050. Have you ever seen a government forecast of falling costs to be true? Costs will increase without a major technological breakthrough because of increasing demand for critical battery materials like lithium and cobalt. Higher demand drives prices up unless there is

economy of scale like electronics; unfortunately, you have to mine more ore to get more materials. The champions talk about improved efficiency of solar panels and windmills. Solar panels and windmills are already operating at close to maximum efficiency. According to Mark Mills of the Manhattan Institute, the “new energy economy” rests on the belief, that is a centerpiece of the Green New Deal both here and in Europe, that wind, solar power and battery storage technologies will experience the same cost reductions that computing and communications have. This analogy glosses over profound differences, based on physics, between systems that produce energy and those that produce information. According to Mills, “The era of 10-fold gains is over.” The physics boundary for silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells, the Shockley-Queisser Limit, is a maximum conversion of 34% of photons into electrons; the best commercial PV technology today exceeds 26%. Wind power technology has also improved greatly, but here, too, no 10-fold gains are left. The physics boundary for a wind turbine, the Betz Limit, is a maximum capture of 60% of kinetic energy in moving air; commercial turbines today exceed 40%. The annual output of Tesla’s Gigafactory, the world’s largest battery factory, could store three minutes’ worth of annual U.S. electricity demand. It would require 1,000 years of production to make enough batteries for two days’ worth of U.S. electricity demand. Meanwhile, 50-100 pounds of materials are mined, moved and processed for every pound of battery produced. The materials costs for renewable energy systems have increased 15-20% over the last two years and are likely to surge in the future as demand increases. The International Energy Agency estimates that over 384 new mines will be needed to meet EV materials demand in 2035. A new mine can cost from $500 million to over $1 billion and take 10-15 years from concept to production. Furthermore, most of the mining for “new energy” materials is done in countries that are not friendly to the west such as China, Russia, the Congo, etc. Green Energy is going to get more expensive not cheaper. It has already happened in Germany, which is opening dirty, coal-fired power ■ See LETTERS, page A5

“Bidenistas?” I guess that passes the smell test for them. The real MAGA folks say they’ll vote for Donald Trump even if he’s convicted and in prison, because, you know it’s all a nefarious plot to take America down the commie, pinko, Antifa and “woke” sewer. That’s the sewer already jam packed with rapists, child trafficking, fentanylpeddling illegal, “long-haired freaky people” and especially nonChristians. A downside of American justice, some consider, is the agonizingly tedious pace of the appeals processes. I honestly wonder how many of us interested observers will still be around, if and when this drama is ever resolved. Frankly, I’m afraid I can’t hold my breath that long.

projections are the main reason their estimates of the overall budget deficit are $30 billion apart. Although Newsom’s budget was unveiled just weeks ago, income taxes — the largest single source of state revenue — are already falling behind. So far in January they are running $3 billion behind the new budget’s assumption. This is no small matter. Newsom will revise his budget in May and he and the Legislature will enact a budget in June that will be based on a revenue figure of some kind. Legislators will be tempted to adopt a rosy figure from Newsom rather than Petek’s lower number to minimize how much spending must be reduced to close the gap. It will particularly affect state support for K-12 schools, the state’s largest single budget obligation, which is largely determined by a revenue-based formula. However, if the Legislature does go for a higher revenue number, as it has it years past, and it proves to be as off the mark as other recent estimates have been, the effect will be traumatic for programs that depend on state financing. Newsom blames the seven-month delay in the deadline for filing 2022 income tax returns, from April 2023 to November, for masking the sharp drop in revenue, and that contributed to the huge disparity. However, he and the Legislature could — and should — have been much more conservative in their guesswork. The record of errors implies that either the administration’s methodology for projecting revenues is faulty or it has been consciously adopting rosy numbers to make the state’s fiscal situation seem better than it really is. Newsom’s much-trumpeted but bogus surplus proclamation in 2022 invites skepticism about what he is telling Californians now.

Snow survey and most storm impacts have been focused along the coastal regions,” said Dr. Michael Anderson, state climatologist with DWR. “Many of these storms have also been warmer than average and produced more rain and less snow, a far cry from last year’s near-record snowpack and once again demonstrating how California can swing from one extreme to another.” Even though this winter has provided below average precipitation overall, it can only take one storm to produce severe flooding in the right circumstances. Communities in San Diego, the Bay Area and along the North Coast have already experienced flooding impacts this winter, highlighting the need to always be prepared for flood risk. DWR and the Joint State-Federal Flood Operations Center have been working with communities and emergency response agencies to coordinate flood response and provide training to prepare for flooding. All Californians should follow three basic steps to plan for possible floods: Be aware of risk — know whether your home is downslope of a burn area or in a floodplain; pay attention to weather forecasts; listen to local authorities. Be prepared — always have an emergency

Take action — subscribe to your local emergency providers to get updated information. If local authorities issue an evacuation order, do not delay, follow local guidelines for evacuation and never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway. On average, the Sierra snowpack supplies about 30% of California’s water needs. Its natural ability to store water is why the Sierra snowpack is often referred to as California’s “frozen reservoir.” Data from these snow surveys and forecasts produced by DWR’s Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Unit are
important factors in determining how DWR manages the state’s water resources. DWR conducts five media-oriented snow surveys at Phillips Station each winter near the first of each month, January through April and, if necessary, May. The next survey is tentatively scheduled for March 1.

work through intake forms and our SCLAR processes, and how we interact with county Animal Services.” SCLAR has 25 volunteers ready when needed to evacuate, care and shelter large animals, including horses, cows, sheep, llamas and more. Under the direction of El Dorado County Animal Services and OES, these volunteers know how to get animals to safety and care for them during a crisis. The nonprofit steps in when alerted by the county to help evacuate rural residents’ large animals. SCLAR volunteers helped care for about 500 large animals during the 2021 Caldor Fire and about 100 during the 2022 Mosquito Fire. “Typically under something like a Mosquito or Caldor (fire) we’ll have a staging area set up and the evacuation teams will go and meet up with Animal Services, print out the the requests for assistance, and (SCLAR is) deployed that way,” Page said. “If the county is setting up a large animal shelter, then they will contact us and they will direct us to one of the county shelter sites.” SCLAR volunteers also learned how OES and Cal Fire plays a part in evacuations and how Animal Services

SCLAR staffs such shelter locations 24/7 and it is common for volunteers to be assigned long hours to ensure coverage. SCLAR volunteers manage the intake of animals, ensure each animal is properly identified, observe each animal’s health and contact owners and veterinarians if a concern rises, in addition to feeding, watering and cage or pen cleaning. Some volunteers don’t handle animals. Some operate HAM radios as a means of communication to team members for maximum coordination in remote areas where cell service is not available. To become a volunteer visit SCLAR.org for more information. Volunteers are sworn in as registered disaster
service workers through the county’s OES. Do not call SCLAR directly for services during emergency situations, Page urged. SCLAR does not selfdeploy and must be directed by Animal Services. “There are many counties within California that have what they loosely call community ‘animal response teams,’ and some of them are just your run-of-the-mill people who want to do good and want to help out, but many of them are organized under their county, so if somebody needs assistance during an evacuation, they have to call animal services,” Page said. EDC Animal Services can be reached at (530) 621-5795 on the West Slope or (530) 573-7925 in the south Tahoe area. SCLAR will be deployed if deemed necessary.

Don’t waste energy holding up walls that already stand on their own. Make it count by giving a lift where it’s really needed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reaching your potential is a function of challenging yourself constantly, but not relentlessly. Just like all living things, you need to take breaks. Avoid burnout by honoring the restorative part of the cycle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be mindful of what kind of energy you are giving a situation. Keep it light and bright. It’s easier to be positive when you really do see what’s good. Keep moving around until you see it -- closer, farther away... upside down? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success is not about finding a problem-free route; rather, it’s choosing your favorite problem and setting out to solve it. Resilient and experimental, you’ll eventually unlock the mystery. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A certain amount of anticipation makes the process sweeter. It’s exciting to wait for a package to arrive, a cake to bake or flowers to bloom. It’s less fun when the situation requires straight-up patience. You’ll rise to the occasion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes caring for others is the best self-care. It gives you pride and purpose to know you can be there for the needs of your people and your self-esteem thrives in estimable acts of generosity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You thrive in the very same
atmosphere others fear, and for this you could be paid very well. You’ll see merit and opportunity in overlooked work and circumstances, and you’ll hatch brilliant ideas in this regard. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A bare-minimum requirement of friendship is that you take interest in one another’s hopes and dreams. You celebrate those who can connect with your high hopes, and you’ll pride yourself on meeting your friends’ aspirations with support. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Silence is sacred, powerful and best used to enhance interactions. To use silence as a way of getting someone’s attention or punishing them is a waste of silence. Better to say what you need to say and get thoughts in the open. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The I Ching suggests that fire on the mountain is catastrophic for the man, but no big deal for the mountain, who has, over the millions of years, seen it all. You’re the mountain: nonreactive, constant and living time differently than the others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll make your plans in good faith. You fully realize that the universe, as an independent entity without qualms and with zero compunction, feels little obligation to obey your schedule. You embrace the precariousness and adventure this poses. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To you, an opportunity means matching your skill with another person’s need and vice-versa. But some are only looking for opportunities to take. Avoid those people.

The Grizzly Flat Post Office and adjacent community bulletin board on Sciaroni Road, left photo, serve as a place where residents can have conversations with their neighbors. Sherry McKillop, Don Bishop, District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo, Charlene Ank and Postmaster Alicia Leech, from left, mingle in the lobby of the newly opened Grizzly Flat Post Office.

neighbors and have conversations.” The community wasted no time utilizing the new post office. Since the Caldor Fire, residents have had to drive to Diamond Springs to grab their mail, nearly 40 minutes away. “Even before the fire, there were no commercial (businesses) here,” Bishop said while waiting to receive his new mailbox keys. “We had a two-room school, a volunteer fire department and the post office. Where does everyone go? They go to the post office, because you see people at the post office.” Charlene Ank, 69,
said it was one of the few places where it was common to meet people. “For so long you couldn’t say that because there was no post office, but I am ecstatic about not having to drive all that way just to pay bills anymore,” Ark said. “I love the fact that the post office is open.” The post office will be staffed 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but the lobby will remain open 24/7 for all to access P.O. boxes as needed. Postmaster Alicia Leech said the majority of Grizzly Flat residents will be given a free PO box. “We offer limited
delivery for our highway contract route and anyone who is not on the highway contract route that lives in Grizzly Flat gets what is called an E-box, because the post office is required to offer at least one free form of delivery to every resident,” Leech said. “So they are either offered delivery on the street or they’re offered a free P.O. box.” An official grand opening celebration was originally planned for that day, but weather concerns pushed the event back to Feb. 23.

postmaster position in December 2021. The Citrus Heights resident could be seen Wednesday morning busy at work helping customers with their mailing needs. Leech’s U.S. Postal Service career began in Tennessee in 1998 after a five-year stint in the Army as an E-4 specialist, an Arabic linguist. She has held many positions in various locations since. Leech moved back to California and took a job as a carrier in Folsom, working her way up before eventually getting promoted to supervisor positions in Carmichael and Citrus Heights. Leech then became a safety specialist for the postal service district that encompasses Redding down to Fresno. She became a safety manager for the same district in 2016 before becoming the postal manager for El Dorado Hills in 2018. Leech said she expressed interest in the postmaster position in Grizzly Flat after meeting the community. “When I heard what happened to Grizzly Flat, I expected to meet people who were downtrodden, having lost everything.

The only thing that is going to stop me is if I cannot make it through the roads to get here.” Leech assures her four-wheel-drive Jeep will make sure that does not happen.
What is next? Much still needs to be done to rebuild Grizzly Flat after it lost many homes, a church, fire station and an elementary school. The county is close to approving an ordinance that will allow small dwelling units or tiny homes to be built on Caldor Fire victims’ properties. Additionally, the county is looking to purchase a piece of property in Grizzly Flat from the U.S. Forest Service in an effort to build a community center.

When Laso’s friends could not reach her by phone or locate her at the gondola base, Heavenly security and the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office was called in to search. Staying warm through the night by rubbing her hands and feet together, Laso wouldn’t turn up until the next morning as the gondola began operating again.

et tangled up in a delightful dramatization of an original Grimm fairytale when “Rapunzel” comes to Imagination Theater’s stage. This story, adapted by Sidney Berger and directed by Kate Barba and Marc Bonham, features a comedic witch who demonstrates how to properly raise a daughter. Rapunzel is locked away with only her best friend, a dragon, to keep her company but happily ever after is just around the corner when a hapless prince tries to rescue the long-haired maiden. Audiences will love the theater magic and humor — and may learn a valuable lesson or two. “It’s about happiness and how you find happiness,” Barba shared. “Are you happy with what you have? Can you find happiness with what you have?” This fairytale is appropriate for all ages, she added, with everything from special effects (look for the dancing vegetables) and a scary witch to a beautiful love story and over-the-top characters. When the show is over, Bonham said audience members will be smiling and “thinking about their relationships and how their choices affect those relationships.” This is Bonham’s 12th year working with Imagination Theater, taking on many roles on and off the stage but primarily focusing on the tech side. One of his greatest joys is teaching the next generation of theater techs, he said. And among those bringing joy

PROSPECTING Art on the Divide offers a heartfelt experience News release

The “Love Pairs” series is part of the new AODC exhibit.
rt on the Divide Gallery celebrates February and Valentine’s Day with Heartland: The Things I Love. AODC invites the community to visit the gallery during this month to admire featured art that creates a unique and heartfelt experience. The pieces ask questions to ponder: What do you love? What do you keep in your heart such as the face of your beloved or the setting sun? How about the smell of the woods after the rain or the sound of a blues guitar?
Everyone has favorite things. AODC artists ask those questions and many more through their art. Perhaps a piece of art will have an emotional connection and stir up memories of joy and love that can be shared with someone special this Valentine’s Day. Heartland: The Things I Love will be on display throughout the month of February. AODC Gallery is located in one of Georgetown’s historical buildings at 6295 Main St. It is currently open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Monday. For more information visit artonthedivide.com.

OLSOM — Harris Center for the Arts presents a musical journey of romantic piano melodies and engaging wit when Jim Brickman performs Hits Live! In Concert on Feb. 6. Brickman will wow the crowd with his uplifting, Hits Live! In Concert. The Grammy-nominated songwriter gets up close and personal in this intimate setting with sweet sounds and stories, including his hit songs “Love of My Life,” “Angel Eyes” and, of course, “Valentine.” Hailed by the Boston Herald as “a crowd-pleaser,” Brickman will take the audience on a musical journey with his romantic piano melodies and engaging wit, making this concert a must-seeevent. Four of his albums have been certified Gold — sales of more than 500,000 copies — by the Recording Industry Association of America: 1995’s “By Heart,” 1997’s “Picture This” and “The Gift” and 1999’s “Destiny.” Overall, he’s sold more than 7 million albums. Brickman has amassed 27 Top 40 singles on the adult contemporary charts, including 14 Top 10 smashes. His collaboration with soaring country songstress Martina McBride, the beautiful paean to love titled “Valentine,” scored at mainstream country radio in 1998, peaking at No. 9. Other Brickman staples include “Simple Things” with Rebecca Lynn Howard, “Peace” and “The Gift,” both
with Collin Raye and Susan Ashton, “Never Alone” with Lady A and “Love of My Life” with Michael W. Smith. In 2013 Brickman’s “The Magic of Christmas,” featuring the 2003 remake of “Sending You A Little Christmas” with Johnny Mathis, landed at No. 1 on Billboard New Age and took the No. 58 spot on Billboard Top 200. Brickman said he thinks music helps to shape its listeners and their lifestyles. He wants his fans to use his music as part of everyday life, which is why he’s recorded inspirational albums, lullabies, romantic records and Christmas albums. Music for soothing the aches of daily life and music for hanging the mistletoe — that’s the Jim Brickman way. The highest compliment you can pay this 62-year-old pop pianist is to tell him that his compositions became the soundtrack while delivering a baby, taking a bubble bath, enduring chemotherapy, lulling your little one to sleep, dancing with daddy at the wedding and falling in love again. “This is more than just ‘I love that hit song’,” Brickman said. “It’s the experience. I am more about the experimental way that people use the music more so than ever. I want the music to be a constant part of their lives.” Brickman performs Hits Live! In Concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6, at Harris Center for the Arts, 10 College Parkway in Folsom. For tickets and more information call (916) 608-6888 or visit HarrisCenter.net.

her tower. This is a love story, after all. Playing the titular character is Roxy Grace Eickhof, who joins Imagination Theater for the first time. “She’s my favorite character,” Eickhof said of the trapped young maiden with flowing, golden hair and an angelic voice. The actress said the audience can relate to Rapunzel, whom she described as funny and adventurous, and she really enjoys playing a character who inspires curiosity. Plus, Eickhof added, it’s fun being a blonde for a while. “Rapunzel” takes the stage at Imagination Theater on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville, Feb. 9 through March 3 with performances Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Musician Jackie Greene returns to his California roots Leila Srouji
The Center for the Arts
G
RASS VALLEY — The Center for the Arts presents Jackie Greene in the Marisa Funk Theater on Feb. 7. Americana and roots singersongwriter Greene is a jack of all trades and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013). Greene has a staggering musician’s résumé. He was a member of the popular American rock band Trigger Hippy. In early 2012 Greene, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead and Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes embarked on an acoustic tour; they called themselves the Weir, Robinson, Greene trio, or WRG for short. In the spring 2013, Greene joined The Black Crowes as lead guitarist, replacing Luther Dickinson, for the band’s Lay Down With Number 13 world tour. More recently, Greene was featured in “World Gone Mad,” the new album from the Weight Band, on a Jerry Garcia cover. In 2019 he embarked upon his 100% Greene Tour starting with a two-night engagement at Ophelia’s in Denver, Colo., followed by stops at various locations of City Winery. In 2023 Greene toured with Gov’t Mule for its Dark Side of the Mule’ tour. Greene has been chasing a sense
of authentic human connection through art ever since his teenage years when he began self-recording and releasing his own music in central California. After a critically acclaimed independent debut, he signed his first record deal and embarked on a lifetime of recording and touring that would see him supporting the likes of BB King, Mark Knopfler, Susan Tedeschi and Taj Mahal, in addition to gracing festival stages from Bonnaroo to Outside Lands. The New York Times hailed his “spiritual balladry,” Bob Weir anointed him the “cowboy poet” of Americana and blues and the San Francisco Chronicle raved that he has “a natural and intuitive connection with … just about any musical instrument.” Support for Greene is provided by The Coffis Brothers. Jamie and Kellen Coffis were raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California. With their newest record, “Turn My Radio Up,” The Coffis Brothers salute the glory days of the FM dial while planting their flag firmly in the present. Produced by Bay Area legend (and longtime Mother Hips frontman) Tim Bluhm, the album makes equal room for heartland rock & roll anthems, front-porch folk songs and campfire-worthy Americana ballads. “It’s all-American music,” said Kellen, who shares frontman duties with Jamie. “There’s rock, blues,

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED November 7, 2006. 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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On February 28, 2024 at 10:00 AM, at the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on November 9, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0076593-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by ROBERT A HAFFNER, A WIDOWER, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES, L.P. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is
purported to be: 1961 E GREEN SPRINGS ROAD, RESCUE, CA 95672 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $688,508.23 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000573-23-1. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000573-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Failure of the successful Bidder to obtain proper
adequate licensing will constitute a failure to execute the Contract and will result in the forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. No contractor or subcontractor may bid on any public works project, be listed in a bid proposal for any public works project, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1. Contractor must comply with emission reduction regulations mandated by the California Air Resources Board, sign the certification of knowledge in the Agreement, and provide County a Certificate of Reported Compliance when road legal diesel vehicles with a gross vehicle weight over 14,000 pounds are included in their fleet. Contractor must require all subcontractors to comply with such regulations and provide County a Certificate of Reported Compliance for each sub-contractor with road legal diesel vehicles over 14,000 pound gross vehicle weight. For federal-aid projects, DBE requirements of Title 49 Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 26) apply. Bidders are advised that, as required by federal law, the County of El Dorado has implemented Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). Comply with Section 2-1.12 and Section 5-1.13. Bidder will take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority firms, women’s business enterprises and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Contract goal is 21%. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1770 et seq., including but not limited to Sections 1773, 1773.1, 1773.2, 1773.6, and 1773.7, the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done has been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 7034708 or by referring to the website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/ PWD. The rates at the time of the bid advertisement date of a project will remain in effect for the life of the project in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, as modified and effective January 27, 1997. Copies of the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done are also on file at the Department of Transportation’s principal office, and are available upon request, and in case of projects involving Federal funds, Federal wage requirements as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor have been included in the Contract Documents. Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued as described in the Project Administration section of this Notice to Bidders. In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code 1810, eight (8) hours of labor constitutes a legal day’s work upon all work done hereunder, and Contractor and any subcontractor employed under this Contract must conform to and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1810 through 1815. This Project is subject to the requirements of Title 8, Chapter 8, Subchapter 4.5 of the California Code of Regulations including the obligation to furnish certified payroll records directly to the Compliance Monitoring Unit under the Labor Commissioner within the Department of Industrial Relations Division of Labor Standards Enforcement in accordance with Section 16461. In the case of Federally funded projects, where Federal and State prevailing wage requirements apply, compliance with both is required. This Project is funded in whole or part by Federal funds. Comply with Exhibit D of the Draft Agreement and the Copeland Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 29 CFR Part 3), the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3147 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701 and 29 CFR Part 5). If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department of Transportation will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by Contractor and subcontractors, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. Bids will be considered for award by the Board of Supervisors. The County of El Dorado reserves the right after opening bids to reject any or all bids, to waive any irregularity in a bid, or to make award to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder and reject all other bids, as it may best serve the interests of the County. The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the Contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the County, by depositing securities of equivalent value with the County in accordance with the provisions of Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code. Securities eligible for deposit hereunder are be limited to those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit.

On March 20, 2024 at 10:00 AM, at the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on July 7, 2021 as Instrument No. 20210044400, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by VALERIE LEE STEVENS, TRUSTEE OF THE VALERIE LEE STEVENS LIVING TRUST DATED FEBRUARY 13, 2013, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for LONGBRIDGE FINANCIAL, LLC as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1776 CHEROKEE COURT, COOL, CA 95614 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $267,265.06 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07001222-23-1. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07001222-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The NOP initiates the environmental scoping process in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21080.4) and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 15082). The purpose of an NOP is to provide sufficient information about the Project and its potential physical environmental effects to allow public agencies, organizations, tribes, and interested members of the public the opportunity to provide a meaningful response related to the scope and content of the EIR, including feasible mitigation measures and Project alternatives that should be considered in the EIR (CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR Section 15082(b)). The proposed Project and location are briefly described below. PROVIDING COMMENTS: El Dorado County is soliciting written comments from public agencies, organizations, tribes, and individuals regarding the scope and content of the environmental document. Because of time limits mandated by State law, comments should be provided at the earliest possible date, but no later than 5:00p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Please send all comments to: Bianca Dinkler,County of El Dorado Planning Department,2850 Fairlane Court, Building C, Placerville, CA 95667, Email: cameronmeadows@ edcgov.us Agencies that are responsible agencies or trustee agencies may need to use the EIR when considering permits or other
approvals for the Project. Such agencies should provide the name of a contact person, phone number, and email address in their comment. Comments provided by email should include “Cameron Meadows NOP Comment” in the subject line and the name and physical address of the commenter in the body of the email. PROJECT LOCATION:The Project site is located in an unincorporated area of El Dorado County, in the Cameron Park Community area, approximately 2.7 miles from the Highway 50 Interchange at Cameron Park Drive. (Figure 1). As shown in Figure 2, the Project site is located east of the Cameron Park Airport between the Cameron Woods and Cameron Valley subdivisions. Existing land uses near the Project site include high density residential to the south and west, low-density residential to the north, County-owned mitigation lands to the southeast, and Bureau of Land Management mitigation lands and a community park to the southwest. Roadway access to the Project would be provided through connections to Carousel Lane and Almeria Drive. The Project site encompasses approximately 104 acres located entirely on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 070-011-051 and would develop approximately 46 acres of the 104-acre parcel. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The El Dorado County General Plan land use designation for the site is High Density Residential (HDR 1- 5 DU/AC) and it is zoned One-Acre Residential (R1A). The General Plan designation allows one to five dwelling units per acre. The Project proposes to subdivide the 104.04acre site into a 161-residential lot subdivision (see Figure 3). As described below, the proposed Project qualifies for protection under the state Density Bonus Law (“DBL”) (Cal. Gov. Code secs. 65915 – 65918, as amended by AB 2334). Under the DBL, the Project is allowed limited waivers to development standards that would physically prevent the proposed Project from being built at the permitted density. The state Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) confirmed for the County that the proposed Project’s “base density” under the DBL is “five dwelling units per acre because that is the highest available density.” Therefore, re- zoning the Project site is neither proposed nor necessary for the proposed Project to achieve the proposed density of 1.55 units per acre. Proposed residential lot sizes would range from approximately 6,300 square feet to 16,686 square feet and the proposed single-family homes would range from approximately 2,600 square feet to 3,587 square feet. The Project would provide 16 attached accessory dwelling units that would be deed-restricted at a rate affordable to low-income households (based on El Dorado County median incomes set at the time of application), and range from approximately 697 to 772 square feet. The Project includes a Tentative Subdivision Map and contemplates use and recordation of phased final maps. Additional Project features would include residential streets and improved emergency access roads (10.06 acres), landscaped areas (proposed Lots A, B, and C consisting of 0.26 acres), and open space and public trails (62.64 acres) that would preserve oak woodland areas, Rasmussen Pond, and drainage ways. While private property, the public currently utilizes the property for trails and access to Rasmussen Pond. As part of the Project, the applicant would commit to providing public trails, and the trails and Rasmussen Pond would be held open for public access. Water and wastewater service would be provided by the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID)_through connections to existing water and wastewater pipelines within and adjacent to the site, which include pipelines located on Carousel Lane and Almeria Drive. Site access would be derived from Carousel Lane and Almeria Drive with an internal EVA allowing for complete circulation on site for the purposes of emergency egress. The Project is a “housing development project,” as defined in the Housing Accountability Act (Gov. Code§ 65589.5(h)(2)) and qualifies for the protections afforded under the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (“SB 330”) and the DBL. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR Section 15063(a), the County has determined that an EIR is required for the Project and has elected to not prepare an initial study. The County anticipates that the EIR will address the following topic areas: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Archaeological and Historic Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards, and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services and Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, Wildfire. Based on a preliminary analysis, the County has determined that impacts to the following topics would not be significant. Therefore, these topics will not be analyzed further in the EIR. Agricultural and Forestry Resources - no agricultural or forestry resources would be affected because these resources do not exist on the Project site. Mineral Resources - no mineral resources would be affected because these resources do not exist on the Project site. Full documentation of the factual basis for this determination will be provided in the EIR. Unless specific comments are received during the revised NOP public comment period that indicates a potential for the Project to result in significant impacts, these topics will not be analyzed further in the EIR. ALTERNATIVES: Pursuant to CEQA and section 15126.6 of the state CEQA Guidelines, the EIR will also analyze a reasonable range of alternatives that would reduce or avoid one or more significant environmental impacts identified in the EIR, and will include an analysis of the comparative environmental impacts of feasible alternatives to the proposed Project. Alternatives will include a no Project alternative, which will assume no change to the existing physical conditions on the Project site, and one or more alternatives to address other significant effects of the proposed Project that are identified in the EIR. FINDING: The proposed Project may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, an EIR is required. The purpose of the
EIR is to provide information about potentially significant physical environmental impacts of the proposed Project, identify possible ways to minimize the potentially significant impacts, and describe and analyze possible alternatives to the Project. Publication of a notice of preparation, initial study, or EIR does not indicate a decision by the County to approve or disapprove a proposed project. However, before making any such decision, the decision makers must review and consider the information contained in the EIR. SCOPING MEETING: Pursuant to CEQA section 21083.9 and CEQA Guidelines section 15206, El Dorado County will hold a public scoping meeting to receive verbal comments regarding the scope of the environmental document and answer general questions regarding the environmental process. The meeting will be on Tuesday, February 13, 2024 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for a virtual meeting. Here is the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom. us/j/89941385262. An in-person meeting will be on Thursday, February 15, 2024 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Cameron Park Community Services District, in the Assembly Hall, located at 2502 Country Club Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682. Written comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental document may also be submitted at the public scoping meeting or throughout the scoping period, which closes at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. If you work for a responsible or trustee agency, we need to know your agency’s views regarding the scope and content of the environmental information that is relevant to your agency’s statutory responsibilities in connection with the proposed Project; your agency may need to use the EIR when considering a permit or other approval for this Project. We will also need the name of the contact person for your agency. The County of El Dorado is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities are provided the resources to participate in its public meetings. If you require accommodation, please contact Planning Services at 530-621-5355 or via e-mail, planning@edcgov.us. 2/2 12777 EL DORADO IRRIGATION DISTRICT REQUEST FOR PRE-QUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT SLY PARK INTERTIE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NUMBER 21079.01 RFQ24-05 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed APPLICATIONS will be received no later than 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, local time, at the front desk of District’s Customer Service Building located at 2890 Mosquito Rd., Placerville, CA 95667 for the Sly Park Intertie Improvements project, Project No. 21079.01 (“Project”).

Puppet rock opera weaves a delightful tale Paul Emery Presents News release
N
EVADA CITY — Dalrymple MacAlpin returns to the stage at the historical Nevada Theatre Feb. 3 & 4 with his latest multi-media creation, “The Golden Thread Mystical Puppet Rock Opera,” featuring a seven-piece ensemble, puppetry, storytelling, film projections and jubilant delight for all ages. The music has been characterized neo-classical chamberfolk, avant-rock opera, jazz, funk and psychedelia with whimsical undertones. Dalrymple and the Wild Daimons is led by multi-instrumentalist/ puppeteer/storyteller/playwright MacAlpin who plays guitar, piano, synthesizer and gut-string medieval harp along with his idiosyncratic counter-tenor vocals. MacAlpin is supported by a cast of puppets, including Rumpelstilzchen, Dortchen Wild, DJ Tele-GrimmGram, Ceridwen and Taliesin; all contribute stories, songs, poetry and musical numbers with interactive audience participation. Human performers include Cory Van Kol on drums, gongs and percussive oddities; Michael Wronski on upright and electric bass, congas; and Jesse Krautkramer on tenor sax, vibraphone, theremin and percussion. Behind the scenes is Angela Holm, Benjamin Milner and Stephanie
Moellman providing textural sonic soundscapes, live video projections and lighting effects throughout each performance. “The Golden Thread” knits a song and weaves a dance. Its inspiration derives from the inspired pages of such thoughtful minds as, Plato, W.B. Yeats, Mr. Rogers, Carl Jung and the Welsh and Greek mythos. From folklore to flying saucers, from fairies to funk, from initiation to transformation, a spell, a spectacle, an experience, a variety show like no other. “’The Golden Thread’ is a mystical puppet rock opera with sorcerers of the psychic dreamscape and alterego comic book superheroes waging war against the soulless eradication of personal godhood for a singular purpose: To transform and align the stars of individual human consciousness with the primeval guardian spirits utilizing the divine electricity that courses through the cosmic fields of music, art, puppetry, theater, magic and the active imagination,” MacAlpin explained. The ensemble derives its name from the Greek word for provider/divider of destiny/fortune — the daimon. Performances of “The Golden Thread” take place 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4, at Nevada Theatre, 401 Broad St. in Nevada City.
