‘WORKING TOGETHER FOR SUCCESS’ Time to CAMERON MEADOWS
EDC Chamber of Commerce hits 99 years
Eric Jaramishian Staff writer
Sierra Pacific Industries executive Mark Luster, above, speaks on being a leader with vision and being a risk taker as he took the podium as 2024 president of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce during the Feb. 1 chamber installation at Cameron Park Country Club.

In his speech at the 99th annual El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce awards and installation dinner Feb. 1, Mark Luster drew inspiration from risk takers like Wilbur and Orville Wright, who in 1903 took flight in the first successfully controlled aircraft. “Greatness happens when people are willing to take some risks, and for those who step out,” Luster told event attendees. “We can do that in this county. We can make El Dorado County a better place to live, to work and play. Whether it is jumping off a peak in Kitty Hawk or the first gas-powered flight, we need visionaries and leaders in our community.” Outgoing Chamber of Commerce President Leonard Grado passed the gavel of leadership to Luster, community relations manager for Sierra Pacific Industries; Luster previously served as president in 2014. “I work in 12 counties and this is the most active and successful chamber I work with because of the leadership we have in this community,” Luster added. Luster called upon chamber members to

Study finds forests healthier when burned — or thinned Kara Manke UC Berkeley News
PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
A 20-year experiment in the Sierra Nevada confirms that different
forest management techniques, prescribed burning, restoration thinning or a combination of both, are effective at reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire in California. These treatments also improve forest health, making trees more resilient to stressors like drought and bark beetles, and they do not negatively impact plant or wildlife biodiversity within individual tree stands, the research found. The findings of the experiment, called the Fire Surrogate Study, are published online in the journal “Ecological Applications.” “The research is pretty darn clear that these
treatments are effective — very effective,” said study lead author Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science at the University of California, Berkeley. “I hope this lets people know that there is great hope in doing these treatments at scale, without any negative consequences.” Last year, California announced a strategic plan for expanding the use of prescribed fire to 400,000 acres annually by 2025. However, the use of beneficial fire continues to be hindered by multiple factors, including the lack of a trained workforce, the need for specific weather conditions for burning and fears about potential risks.

The University of California, Berkeley, Blodgett Forest Research Station east of Georgetown is the home of an ongoing, 20-year study investigating the impacts of prescribed fire and restoration thinning on forest healthy and wildfire risk in the Sierra Nevada. This study shows restoration thinning is also a viable option for forest management and can be used in tandem with beneficial fire without harming forest
health or biodiversity. “Our findings show that there’s not just one solution — there are multiple things that you can do to impact the risk of

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
HOW TOBACCO USE AFFECTS TEETH Smoking and using smokeless tobacco products can cause several oral health issues including tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss, and mouth cancer. The nicotine and tar in tobacco can stain teeth in a short amount of time. People who smoke have higher levels of bacterial plaque, which causes gum disease, and smokers over 65 are twice as likely to have gum disease. Smoking decreases oxygen in the bloodstream so that infected gums don’t heal as well. In addition to lung and throat cancer, smoking also causes mouth cancer. If you use tobacco products, you should visit your dentist every three to six months, more often
than non-smokers, so your hygienist can keep an eye on your gum and mouth health. It’s one of life’s simple truths—no one gets more than one set of permanent teeth. Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but you have to work at it; you have to want to keep them badly enough to do what needs to be done. And if that means protecting them by adopting healthy habits, eating and drinking healthy foods and beverages, brushing and flossing regularly, and having regular professional visits, then we hope you will call us for an appointment. P.S. Forty-three percent of smokers over 65 have lost all their teeth.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

According to the county’s Feb. 2 notice of preparation of a draft EIR, residential lots would range from .14-.38 acres on which homes of 2,600-3,587 square feet would sit. The accessory dwelling units would be attached, deed restricted at a rate affordable to low income households and range from 697-772 square feet. The developer, The True Life Companies, plans for about 63 of the 104 acres to be left as open
space, preserving Rasmussen Pond, Native American grinding rocks and oak woodlands where locals have carved walking and biking trails over decades. While the land was privately owned, the owner allowed public access. In 2021 when “for sale” signs on the property began to appear, those who wanted to see Rasmussen Pond and its surrounding landscape untouched formed the Rescue Rasmussen Pond Alliance, which continues to rally the community to oppose construction of Cameron Meadows and attend the scoping meetings.
“Large numbers attending these meetings will demonstrate the strength of community opposition,” reads a statement posted to rescuerasmussenpond. com. “Please make every effort to attend one if not both of these meetings — ‘butts on seats count.’” The county anticipates the EIR will address potential impacts to archaeological and historical resources, biological resources, hydrology and water quality, transportation and more. The NOP of the draft EIR, including project maps and plans, is available at bit.ly/ CameronMeadowsNOP.

California Matters
Catalog of dysfunctional programs has a couple of new entries
S
ince the turn of the century, California has amassed a catalog of dysfunctional state projects that have failed to accomplish what they were supposed to do or ran up costs beyond rational expectations. A few come to mind, in no particular order. DAN WALTERS When voters passed a $9.95 billion bond issue in 2008 to finance a bullet train to connect the northern and southern regions of California, the total cost was pegged at $33 billion. Sixteen years later, construction is still under way on an initial segment in the San Joaquin Valley running from Merced to Bakersfield that will cost at least as much as the whole project was supposed to cost. The California High-Speed Rail Authority has not figured out how to raise another $100 billion to build the entire project. When more than 3 million Californians lost their jobs four years ago after state officials California has ordered shutdowns amassed a catalog to combat COVIDof programs and 19, the Employment Development projects that Department suffered fail to deliver as a meltdown while promised. The list trying to handle a deluge of claims of dysfunctional for unemployment efforts has a couple insurance. of new entries. While legitimate claims were stalled, EDD handed out billions of dollars to fraudsters. The state now is trying to correct what went wrong but the acid test will be how EDD performs when the next recession strikes. California has made multiple attempts to streamline governmental operations by employing information technology, but the projects have often been very expensive and failed to meet expectations. The poster child is the Financial Information System for California, or FI$Cal, which has been in the works for nearly two decades and still suffers from bugs that have rendered it unusable for many purposes, costing many millions of dollars. The state has spent billions of dollars to reduce its ever-growing numbers of homeless people.

Letters to the Editor Lexi Boeger for supervisor EDITOR: exi Boeger has my full support for District 3 supervisor. She will ensure that you retain the unique and exceptional quality of life which you cherish while making sure this county is vibrant and economically sustainable for your children and grandchildren. Lexi is one of us. Her family was among the original pioneers that began El Dorado County’s commercial wine industry. Lexi loves our small towns, our family farms, our mom-and-pop businesses and the rural lifestyle we cherish. She understands, firsthand, that in order to sustain this way of life we must support and foster a rural economy that protects open space and supports the working landscape. She will be a fierce protector of our ag industry. She is also committed to creating a local government that gets out of the way and is a collaborative partner so you can build your dreams in this beautiful place we call home. The job of county supervisor is not what it used to be. The pandemic, social media and increased state demands have altered local government; life and the political landscape have forever changed. We must move forward in a fresh and relevant way. We cannot afford to go backward with “business as usual” or the “way it’s always been.” Lexi Boeger understands this. She values our deep roots, yet she will bring a fresh perspective with new ideas to move us forward in a balanced way. As an Independent, Lexi will be a supervisor who serves everyone and she is not beholden to the extreme of any political party. She has represented District 3 on the Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee and she currently represents D3 on the El Dorado County Planning Commission. She is realistic about our challenges and is committed to doing the hard work to address them. Lexi Boeger will give this position her all and she has my full support. WENDY THOMAS District 3 Supervisor

Trump Delusional Syndrome EDITOR: here was a time when George Alger penned cogent, well-thought, informative letters to the editor. But since he has gone full MAGA
T
he toes the Trump line as he, in a near apoplectic fit, rails about liberals. Now I’m sure Mr. Alger has stopped reading as he forms his response to say I have Trump Derangement Syndrome ... and he’s right. It drives me crazy that those I once felt had intelligence, principles and integrity could fall for an amoral conman like Trump, which show another type of TDS, Trump Delusional Syndrome. The economy is outpacing Trump’s. The stock market has surpassed the record high of Trump’s term, a factor Mr. Alger said was an indicator of good governance and now he refuses to even give any credit to the current president’s policies. He then says inflation is high when it is now only one point higher than under Trump. Unemployment is lower than under Trump and the Fed is about to lower interest rates. Then Mr. Alger says prices are high. I will give him that — even though gas and groceries are coming down everywhere but California. That’s a topic for another time, something I would agree with Mr. Alger about. But since corporations are making record profits, their interest rates are at pre-pandemic levels and yet they are not reducing prices. Do you believe the government should tell businesses what they can and can’t charge? How does that square with the “free market” of which you’re so enamored. You blame Biden for the immigration “crisis” while Republicans have fought any proposal put to Congress, even ones they proposed in rare bipartisanship with Democrats only to back out when Trump threatens their power. Last but not least Mr. Alger despairs about Biden’s “dementia” when 1) The Republican hero Ronald Reagan had it and you think he did so well (I disagree), and 2) Have you even listened to the derailed thought train of Donald Trump? Republicans say Trump says what they want to say. Am I to conclude you believe all those at the border are “rapists, drug dealers, murderers” though some, you suppose, are good people? A little over a hundred years ago so-called “real Americans” were saying the same things about the Irish and Italians. Finally, Mr. Alger, do you believe liberals are “vermin” and do you plan to go hunting when your messiah calls you to arms? JOHN POPE Placerville

Three U.S. Army reserve soldiers were killed in Jordan by a drone attributed to an Iran-backed militia in Iraq. As the daughter of an Air Force retiree, I find this particularly emotionally painful. Ships are being attacked in the Gulf of Aden area by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. And there was the horrible, savage attack on Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 by Iran-supported Hamas. A backdrop to all of this is the conflict raging in Ukraine, the result of aggression by Russia. The headline is that we have enemies and these enemies are energized when they perceive the United States as weak and confused. There is a lot of rhetoric now about so-called “globalization” and “endless wars.”

Some call for a retreat inward by our nation and want to label international engagement as not “conservative.” But it is just the opposite. A conservative worldview recognizes there is truth and that for every right we claim there is a corresponding responsibility. The universal rights the founders of our nation claimed in our Declaration of Independence have corresponding universal responsibilities. We must remember the quote attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville, “America is great because America is good. If America ever stops being good, it will stop being great.” This does not mean that our nation should take on the impossible task of being the world’s policeman. But as we saw, and too soon have forgotten, on the horrible day on Sept. ■ See PARKER, page A5

However, state and local officials have squabbled incessantly over which programs are effective, how money should be divvied up and who should be accountable for results. Meanwhile, the homeless population is 40% higher than it was when Gov. Gavin Newsom took office five years ago. Two more candidates for the catalog of chronic dysfunction have popped up recently. California received $800 million from a settlement with German carmaker Volkswagen over its cheating on pollution emission testing and has spent $600 million to install a network of chargers for electric vehicles, but studies have found that many of them are unusable. Members of the California Air Resources Board recently took turns expressing frustration with the high failure rate of Electrify America’s network, lamenting that it would discourage people from buying zero-emission vehicles. Nevertheless, the board voted unanimously to give the company the remaining $200 million. As for the other candidate, California has been reducing the number of inmates in its prisons for the past decade, responding both to federal Email your letter to editor to editor@ court decrees about overcrowding and changing mtdemocrat.net political attitudes.

11, 2001, there are evil people in this world hostile to us who celebrate death to advance their own power. Israelis saw it in the vicious Hamas attack last Oct. 7. When those who love to kill to advance their own power see Americans retreat, when they see demonstrations at America’s leading universities celebrating terrorism, who condemn those in our country and abroad who live free and responsible lives, so we encourage and empower evil. As good retreats, evil advances. It is a natural truth. Let’s not forget what is written at the memorial to the Korean War in Washington, D.C. — “Freedom is not free.” Star Parker is president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education and host of the weekly television show “Cure America with Star Parker.” Her recent book, “What Is the CURE for America?” is available now.

It now costs taxpayers $132,860 a year for every person still behind bars, according to calculations by CalMatters. That’s 50% higher than the cost for someone to attend Stanford University. One might think that the Legislature would do its duty by delving into these dysfunctions and holding administrators, including the governor, accountable. But California is a one-party state and Democratic legislators are reluctant to embarrass a Democratic governor, so they pay only passing attention to managerial failings.

Continued from A1 the award. “They are an integral part of what makes this community a quality one and a great place to live our lives.” Chairwoman Stephanie Cuellar accepted the honor on behalf of the health center and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. “The Health and Wellness Center takes pride in providing compassionate care to both native and non-native alike,” Cuellar said. “By doing so, we are not just providing health services. We are weaving a tapestry of interconnectedness, strengthening and the very fabric of our community.” County Film Commissioner Kathleen Dodge had the pleasure of presenting the Golden Slate Award to Dana LeBlanc, owner of the Sourdough and Co. on Main Street in Placerville. The award is given to individuals, a business or agency going above and beyond “to make motion picture filming happen in El Dorado County.” LeBlanc was recognized for helping to provide a location for the filming of Food Network TV show “Best Bite in Town,” featuring celebrity chef Guy Fieri. The Food Network star visited Placerville for his show in which he appoints his friends (who are also chefs) to visit different cities each
be problem solvers, to voice their opinions and to make the first move to move society in a positive direction. He quoted a speech from motivational speaker Ralph Marston: “When there’s something that must be said, be the one to speak up and get it out in the open. If everyone waits for someone else to make the first move, nothing ever gets done. Be the one to step forward. Get all those around you moving in a positive direction. The world needs those who are willing to get things going, and life richly rewards those who do it. Take the initiative and be a leader. Someone has to do it, and that one can be you.” The chamber’s theme for 2024 is “working together for success.” Recipients of the night’s chamber awards represented this year’s theme. For “commitment to their own community as well as the greater El Dorado County community,” the Shingle Springs Health and Wellness Center was named the Community Service Organization of the Year. “This year’s recipient isn’t just overwhelmingly worthy but it’s also a critical part of our community that steps up to support citizens throughout our county amongst the many other worthy partnerships they support,” Grado said while presenting
President Gordon Crowder and and NPEA President Pam Dixon-Simmons were present to receive the recognition. “I want to thank not only the California Division, but the other seven states that are involved in this,” Crowder said. “Six-hundred riders travel that 2,000 miles 24/7 to re-ride the original 10-day ride and we are glad to do it.” President of the Divide Chamber of Commerce Paula Seaberg gave the Business of the Year Award to Cool Feed and Ranch Supply, which was started by Jodi and Mike Gray in 2005. “They created the Taste of the Divide, which brought many small businesses the opportunity to put their goods and services out in front of everybody,” Seaberg said. “They do an animal shot clinic that (provides) the community with free annual pet vaccinations. They collect a lot of raffle prizes and silent auction items for various fundraisers in our area and they never say no. They always donate to everything. Their business is all about community.” Carolynne Angleton, manager of the store, received the award on Jodi’s behalf. The night also saw the installation of the 2024 El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, officiated by Sheriff Jeff Leikauf.
week in a competition to find the best “bite” in town. The show is expected to air in April, according to Dodge, and was staged in front of Sourdough and Co. The Achievement in Tourism Award went to the American River Conservancy for preserving Wakamatsu Farm, the site of the first Japanese colony in the U.S. It is also the site where the first Japanese American was born and the grave site of the first Japanese immigrant buried in the nation. The chamber’s Director of Tourism Jody Franklin, presenting the award, also praised ARC’s overall efforts to preserve history and public lands. “We have reaped the benefits of their efforts to protect and restore open spaces, connect people with the outdoors and develop partnerships in the community since 1989,” Franklin said. The chamber honored the National Pony Express Association with the Historical Preservation Award. The association dedicates itself to preserving the Pony Express National Historic Trail, which stretches from Missouri to California.

different combinations of treatments that might fit their needs, and we can show them how those treatments might impact things like wildfire behavior, tree growth and carbon holding in their forests.” Over the past two decades, Stephens and other researchers at Berkeley Forests have used prescribed burning, restoration thinning or a combination of both to treat plots of land at Blodgett Forest Research Station, the 4,000-acre experimental forest located east of Georgetown on unceded lands of the Nisenan peoples. The Fire Surrogate Study was one of 13 studies across the U.S. first launched in 1999 with funding from the U.S. Joint Fire Science Program. Its aim was to study whether the two treatments could mimic the beneficial impacts of lightning fires and Indigenous burning practices on California’s forests, which have become dense and overgrown after a century of logging and fire suppression. “Prescribed fire and restoration thinning are both surrogates for wildfire, a key process that happened frequently in California before European colonization,” Stephens said. “The impetus of this study was: If you’re going to implement these treatments at a large scale, is there anything that’s going to be lost?” The study created nine experimental plots and three control plots at Blodgett. Three of the experimental plots were managed only using prescribed burns; three burns occurred over the course of 20 years. Three other experimental plots were first thinned and then burned, and the final three were treated only with restoration thinning. The control plots were left to grow without human interference except continued fire suppression. At the end of the 20-year period, researchers surveyed vegetation in each plot and used computational modeling to estimate how many trees were likely to survive wildfire. They found that all three types of experimental plots were significantly more resilient to wildfire than the control plots, showing an 80% likelihood that at least 80% of trees would survive. They also calculated the “index of competition,” a measure of how strongly trees must compete for resources like sunlight, water and soil nutrients. By removing excess trees and vegetation, thinning and burning both limited the amount of competition between trees, making them less vulnerable to stressors, like drought and bark beetles. However, the plots that were treated

with a combination of thinning and fire had the best index of competition, suggesting that they would be the most resilient to the impacts of climate change. “When you combine thinning with fire, you’re able to modify all different levels of the forest structure, and it speeds up the timeline for achieving a more resilient structure,” Roughton said. Restoration thinning can also provide financial benefits: Often, larger trees can be sold to sawmills, and the proceeds can be used to help offset the cost of forest management. Over the course of 20 years, the treatments at Blodgett were entirely paid for by revenue from timber. “When I go to Sacramento and talk about (forest management) with legislators, the first question they always ask is about cost,” Stephens said. “People in the state government are telling us that they can’t be the sole source support for this work. That’s why the economics are so important.” In September 2022, the forests at Blodgett were subjected to a reallife test: On the morning of Sept. 9, 2022, the Mosquito Fire breached the north side of the property, burning approximately 300 acres before it was contained two days later. One of the study’s control plots was located directly in the path of the blaze, and more than 60%of the trees in this plot were completely scorched. However, neighboring experimental plots that had been treated with prescribed burns served as “fuel breaks,” burning less hot than the control and acting as staging areas for firefighters. “We think that, overall, our management actions, coupled with the weather, did have a pretty big impact on the behavior of the fire,” Roughton said. The researchers have received a four-year grant from the Joint Fire Science Program to continue the Fire Surrogate Project. With the help of the grant, they have established a new control plot to replace the one that burned and plan to apply a fourth fire to the experimental burn-only plots. They are also collaborating with the United Auburn Indian Community to reestablish Indigenous cultural burning at Blodgett. “We want to be part of the solution, and that’s part of our mission at Blodgett,” Roughton said. “We hope that by doing these studies and bringing folks here to see the effects of the different treatments, they will take that back and apply it to the land that they’re going to be managing.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Others have learned the hard way so you don’t have to. Tap on one of the many resources around you. Read, study and observe so that when you make mistakes, they won’t have been avoidable or redundant. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What if your own fulfillment was top priority? Aims that were near and dear to you have been shuffled to the back burner where you cannot properly tend to them. Move things around so you can focus on what matters to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today, you’ll be tempted to hand over the result someone needs, but the bigger gift will be if you can offer someone an opportunity to create, build and solve things on their own. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t take it personally when you get a delayed response, or no response. All it means is that the other person doesn’t know what the appropriate response should be, or, for whatever reason, is unable to deliver it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You could face the problem headon, though perhaps a strategic sidestep is in order. This is not a move of weakness but a decision to conserve your strength for a worthier purpose. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s no use arguing with what is. Wondering if it’s right or ideal is as silly as wishing it were another way. Reality is supreme. Your strongest position is one of commitment. Say “yes” to what’s happening and use it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel suspended between worlds, unable to fully inhabit either. You are not the only one. “Feet on the earth, head in the clouds” is an apt description of the human condition. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in a teaching role. Too much instruction limits learning. There’s no need to point out mistakes early in the process. Hang back ready to guide, knowing it’s ultimately best for people to come into knowledge their own way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s easier for you to make good choices when you realize how many others will be affected. When kind to yourself, you are kind to the ones who love you, too. And if you cause yourself harm, you also harm those you love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are sometimes your own worst enemy, but it’s only because you’re human and thus complex. One must be cunning indeed to outsmart their own self-sabotaging behaviors. You’ll pull it off today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People around you will thrive because you are oxygen, reviving and enlivening wherever you go. You’ll give a light touch to your purposes, finding the humor and fun while still getting things done quickly and correctly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What is stronger and more enduring than the volatile forces? The gentle ones. Tornadoes dissipate. Fires burn out. Volcanoes go extinct. What remains, for millions of years, is the placid lake.

Oak Ridge High School triumphs at El Dorado County Academic Decathlon Dina Gentry

S
aturday, Jan. 27, was the culmination of the El Dorado County Academic Decathlon, showcasing the talent of local high school students in a variety of disciplines. Oak Ridge High School emerged as the victor, securing a spot in the upcoming state competition scheduled for March. The regional competition featured intense showdowns between El Dorado, Ponderosa, Union Mine and Oak Ridge high schools. The day was not only a test of academic excellence but also marked a significant paradigm shift for the event. To include all students who wanted to compete, the distinction of “alternate” decathletes was eliminated this year, allowing every student to participate in all 10 events and be eligible for individual medals. This change was made possible by a substantial increase in volunteers who dedicated their time to make the event a success. The following organizations helped to recruit volunteers; the Rotary Club of Placerville, Hands4Hope, El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees, El Dorado County Office of Education, Ag in the Classroom, Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil’s Office and the California Retired Teachers Association. “We are privileged to reside in a community dedicated to the well-being, potential and success of our students,” said El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala. “Numerous individuals have generously volunteered their time and effort to facilitate this endeavor. I extend my appreciation to the EDCOE and EDUHSD team members, as well as the coaches and volunteers involved.” Amid the heated competition, Oak Ridge High School’s team, led by coach Jeff Hassian, claimed victory not only in the overall school standing but also in the Super Quiz Relay. “Our students’ dedication and hard work have truly paid off. This win isn’t just about medals; it’s a testament to their commitment to excellence and the spirit of teamwork. I’m incredibly proud of each one of them,” shared Hassian. The theme of this year’s Academic Decathlon, Technology & Humanity, has been a focal point of study for decathletes since the summer. Coaches, including David Conrad for El Dorado, Joseph Beatty for Ponderosa,
During the event students tackle a variety of educational challenges such as the Objectives Test and the Super Quiz. Stephanie Luther for Union Mine, and Hassian for Oak Ridge, navigated the challenge of preparing students alongside their regular teaching duties. On the competition day, the community came together, with many volunteers, presenters and school leaders in attendance. This competition is administered annually by EDCOE and promotes academic excellence and social-emotional benefits to team members. The Kiwanis Club of Placerville provided a hearty hamburger lunch, and all attendees were left impressed by the dedication and knowledge displayed by the decathletes.

PROSPECTING PRESERVE IT! Sunshine in a jar
W
hat do Paddington Bear, Queen Victoria (of England), Sir Edmund Hillary (who ascended Mt. Everest in 1953) and the well-known fictional character James Bond have in common? Marmalade! Paddington Bear kept a jar under his hat, Queen Victoria was smitten by it thereby making it a popular staple, Sir Edmund Hillary carried it as part of his provisions and James Bond had it as part of his daily breakfast habit. A classic orange marmalade is made with the rather bitter Seville orange, which, despite the blockade in World War II, was allowed to continue to be transported to England because Winston Churchill considered marmalade necessary for the morale of the English people. British recipes of this “sunshine in a jar” date back as far as 1587 in “A Book of Cookrye.” While Seville oranges are the classic citrus fruit to make marmalade, there are many safe, tested recipes using various citrus fruits. This is an invitation to make a batch (or two) of marmalade with three different citruses: grapefruit, orange and lemon. Citrus has natural pectin in the peel, thus creating a soft fruit jelly with small pieces of fruit and peel suspended in that jelly. There are a couple Master Food Preservers who are known for their marmalades. With the El Dorado County Fair only four months away, let’s give them some keen competition by making a marmalade and entering your efforts in May. This recipe comes

Marmalade is a wonderful treat for those who love citrus flavors. from “So Easy to Preserve,” 2020.
Citrus marmalade Makes 3 or 4 half-pint jars 3/4 cup grapefruit peel (from 1/2 grapefruit) 3/4 cup orange peel (1 orange) 1/3 cup lemon peel (1 lemon) 1 quart cold water Pulp of 1 grapefruit Pulp of 4 medium-sized oranges 2 cups boiling water 3 cups sugar To prepare fruit: Wash and peel fruit. When peeling citrus fruits for
marmalades, be sure to include some of the white, spongy membrane (albedo) found just under the skin. This is where the most pectin is located. Cut peel in thin strips; put into a saucepan. Add cold water and simmer, covered, until tender (about 30 minutes). Drain. Remove seeds and membrane from peeled fruit. Called “supreming,” this technique removes the membrane from citrus fruit so it can be served in sections. The result is no rind, no pith, just sections (carpels) of fruit. Cut fruit into small pieces. To make marmalade: Prepare
canner, jars and lids. Sterilize jars for 10 minutes and keep hot. Combine peel and fruit in a saucepan, add boiling water and sugar. Boil rapidly to 8 degrees F above the boiling point of water (212 degrees F at sea level), stirring frequently. Remove from heat; skim. Ladle hot marmalade into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip tight. Place jars in boiling water canner, ensuring they are completely covered with one inch of water. Bring to a boil and process 5 minutes*. Remove the canner lid. Wait for 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool 12 to 24 hours, label and store. *The processing times given for processing jellied fruit products are for processing at altitudes of less than 1,000 feet. Add 1 minute to the processing time for each 1,000-feet of additional altitude.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. 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. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. The following statements; NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS and NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER are statutory notices for all one to four single family residences and a courtesy notice for all other types of properties. 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 (844)477-7869 or visit this Internet Website www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 207-019569. 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: 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 (844)4777869, or visit this internet website www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 207019569 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.

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 (702) 8230577 or visit this Internet Website http://www.mblservicing.com on the home page and click sale list to get the most updated sale information, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-20713. 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: 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 (702) 823-0577, or visit this internet website http:// www.mblservicing.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-20713 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 work shall not include new construction, design, or contract drawings. The bid documents include a Construction Task Catalog® containing construction tasks with preset unit prices. All unit prices are based on local labor, material, and equipment prices and are for the direct cost of construction. The Contractor will bid FOUR (4) sets of adjustment factors to be applied to the unit prices. One set of Adjustment Factors for West Slope general facilities/property, one set of Adjustment Factors for West Slope secured facilities/property, one set of Adjustment Factors for nonsecured facilities/property located in the Tahoe Basin and one set of Adjustment Factors for secured facilities/property located in the Tahoe Basin. Each set of Adjustment
Factors will include an Adjustment Factor for performing work during Normal Working Hours (6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday) and an Adjustment Factor for performing work during Other Than Normal Working Hours (6:00 pm to 6:00 am Monday through Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and Holidays). All Adjustment Factors apply to every task in the Construction Task Catalog®. All Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog® are priced at a net value of 1.0000. The Adjustment Factors shall be an increase or decrease to all the Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog®.

If the Proposal is found to be reasonable, a Job Order may be issued. A Job Order will reference the Detailed Scope of Work and set forth the Job Order Completion Time, and the Job Order Price. The Job Order Price is determined by multiplying the preset unit prices by the appropriate quantities and by the appropriate Adjustment Factor. The Job Order Price shall be a lump sum, fixed price for the completion of the Detailed Scope of Work. A separate Job Order will be issued for each project. Extra work, credits, and deletions will be contained in additional Job Orders. The County selected The Gordian Group’s (Gordian) Job Order Contracting (JOC) Solution for their JOC program.

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 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www.Auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300289362 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: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after
January 1, 2021, 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 855-976-3916, or visit this internet website https://www. auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300289362 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

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 PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded May 29, 2020 as Document No.: 2020-002462600 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by: Trenton Taylor an unmarried man, and Wanda Taylor an unmarried woman, joint tenants with rights of survivorship, as Trustor, will be sold AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER for cash (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said deed of trust in the property situated in said county and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced deed of trust. Sale Date: March 20, 2024 Sale Time: 10:00 AM Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 File No.:23-06583CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3071 Twelve Oaks Lane, Placerville, CA 95667. 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 in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $323,002.75 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, (800) 758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.xome. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 23-06583CA. 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: 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 (800) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-06583CA 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. File No.:23-06583CA 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.

The following Supplemental Project Information will be provided in pdf format as part of the Contract
Documents on Quest’s website to all planholders who acquire the Contract Documents digitally through Quest: Foundation Report, Revised Standard Plans Bidders must be properly licensed to perform the Work pursuant to the Contractors’ State License Law (Business and Professions Code Section 7000 et seq.) and must possess a CLASS A license or equivalent combination of Classes required by the categories and type of Work included in the Contract Documents and Plans at the time the Contract is awarded, and must maintain a valid license through completion and acceptance of the Work, including the guarantee and acceptance period. 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. Reference the Contract Documents package, which includes the Notice to Bidders, Plans, Specifications, Draft Agreement and Proposal for contractual requirements not listed in this “Notice to Contractors” newspaper advertisement. 2/7, 2/9, 2/12, 2/14, 2/16, 2/21 12799 NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF ELMER RAY HAMLETT CASE NO. 24PR0023 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ELMER RAY HAMLETT A PETITION for Probate has been filed by JERAMIAH HAMLETT in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado.
