Dylan Svoboda Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors gave the go-ahead Feb. 25 to a hotly contested housing project in north El Dorado Hills. Dubbed the Vineyards at El Dorado Hills, the project proposes 42, 1-acre residential lots to the 114-acre site north of Malcolm Dixon Road and east of Salmon Falls Road. The developer has an existing entitlement on the property called Diamante Estates, approved in 2009, that called for a gated community of 19, 5-acre-plus lots in the area. The new application requested a density bonus and a rezone to add a planned development overlay zone to the underlying RE-5 zoning. After discussion the rezone was approved, 3-2. More than half the project, 65 acres, consists of open space. The developer plans on maintaining the oak woodlands, schoolhouse and pond currently on the property. The site would also feature 25 acres of vineyards. Citing gridlock on neighboring Green Valley Road and dangerous conditions on adjacent side streets, many area residents firmly opposed the project. n

Robert “Bob” O’Hara

Oct. 31, 1930-Feb. 14, 2020

Bob passed away Friday, Feb. 14, after a short battle with cancer; he was 89 years old. Bob joined the Army Air Corps at age 16 near the end of WWII, serving as gunner on an A26 bomber in the Korean War. Post-war he was instrumental in building one of the largest Civil Air Patrol squadrons in California, flying 4,500 hours in an AT-6 on search and rescue missions, and later worked for the Air National Guard. A lifelong pilot, people often saw Bob flying over Georgetown and Placerville in his little yellow Taylorcraft. A talented artist, Bob’s career included animating the original Pink Panther movie, backdrops, scenery and props for several films, writing episodes of Outer Limits and Twilight Zone, and being in a few movies including Never So Few and Tora! Tora! Tora! He wrote for and edited Plane & Pilot and Air Classics magazines, and illustrated numerous books and articles including the Mountain Democrat “Behind the Wheel” series after moving to Camino in 1971 with his first wife Dottie. Bob and his second wife, Anne, built a home in Georgetown in the late ‘70s. He quickly became one of the “gang” at the Corner Kitchen. He had a quick wit and could tell a funny tale or joke to please the crowd. Bob never met a stranger and rarely had an unkind word about anyone. He truly loved his life. Bob was a founding member and early president of Chapter 512 of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Placerville, and helped build their hangar and grounds. Bob’s favorite activity was flying kids in the EAA Young Eagles program, which he did for more than 25 years. Preceded in death by his wife Anne, Bob recently moved to live with his daughter Colleen in Idaho. She was at his side when he passed away. Bob is survived by his two children, Colleen O’Hara and Randy O’Hara. There will be a celebration of Bob’s life at Placerville Airport, EAA hangar, at 1 p.m. on June 13. At the request of his family, in lieu of flowers or cards, contributions to EAA Chapter 512 in support of Young Eagles may be sent to: EAA Chapter 512 3483 Airport Road Placerville, CA 95667 For those who knew Bob, please feel free to add photos, stories or remembrances at this link: wilksfuneralhome.com/m/obituaries/Robert-OHara-2/Memories Adios amigo, and fly high.

Dozens attended last Tuesday’s meeting, including Michael Stettner, a neighboring resident who said his street is already overburdened with speeding drivers. “I respect all these plans and studies that have been done but I live on the corner of Malcolm Dixon,” Stettner said. “I’m that crazy guy yelling at everyone to slow down. I’m afraid that’s going to become even more of an issue as more homes come in at the top of the hill.” Frequent animal crossings, narrow bridges and sharp curves — most notably the “S curve” just south of the proposed development — on Malcolm Dixon Road concern Sarah Broadbent, whose grandchildren live in the

neighborhood. “When there’s a bicyclist in front of you, you have to follow that bicycle for a very long time,” she said. “People get impatient. It’s a very dangerous road.” Omni Financial spokesman Craig Sandberg said the project could improve traffic circulation in the area thanks to a connector to Malcolm Dixon Road. El Dorado County Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez indicated that while the project’s “level of service” traffic parameters are in line with regulations set by the state of California, that may not be adequate for rural El Dorado County residents used to little to no congestion. “When I moved here from Southern California,

my (view) of the roads here in El Dorado County was amazing,” he said. “Now, after living here for six years, I get held up at the signal for more than 10 seconds and I’m like ‘ugh, I’ve got traffic.’ I can understand that perspective. “... Unfortunately, as a municipality and a staff, we can’t negate a project if the thresholds are set by the highway capacity manual or the state of California aren’t passed.” Some community members told the board they think they have fallen victim to a bait-and-switch after supporting the lessdense Diamante Estates only for the previous developer to sell the property to another developer that has a different plan for the site. That issue and traffic concerns irked District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin as well. “This project, in the big picture of the county, is a tiny project,” Supervisor Parlin said. “But it’s huge with all the issues around it and the way that we got here. “The community had to work really hard to get Diamante [Estates] and that’s a project the community is really happy with. It fits; it has traffic circulation that makes sense. And that was a hard-fought battle,” she continued. “Then you get happy with that, thinking it’s coming sometime, and then a new developer shows up and we’re in battle mode again … Where will it stop?” While sympathetic to neighborhood traffic

concerns, District 3 Supervisor Brian Veerkamp said he wouldn’t oppose a project that’s in line with the county General Plan. The project would be a benefit to the county’s funding and housing woes, he added. “This county is under an extreme housing crunch,” Supervisor Veerkamp said. “We’re a property-tax generating county that requires at least a minimal amount of growth to keep things going.” Some community members questioned the necessity of the project’s vineyards and trail. The vineyards would require maintenance, attention and possibly a vineyard manager, according to county Agricultural Commissioner Charlene Carveth, who added that as proposed the vineyards would be too broken up to produce many grapes. The board moved to leave the trail’s future in the hands of the development’s homeowners association. Sandberg indicated that both the vineyards and trail were part of an effort to make the project more aesthetically and recreationally attractive, but are not a dealbreaker. After a motion from Supervisor Parlin to deny the project failed, Supervisor Veerkamp moved to approve it. The project, with minor additional conditions, passed 3-2, with Supervisors Veerkamp, Sue Novasel and John Hidahl supporting it and Supervisors Parlin and Shiva Frentzen opposed.

Close loss keeps Ponderosa from title Kevin Christensen Staff writer

blue banner slipped through the grasp of the talented Ponderosa High School girls soccer team in Rocklin Saturday. The No. 2-ranked Lady Bruins dropped to the No. 1-ranked St. Francis High School Lady Troubadors by a score of 3-2 in the Division II Sac-Joaquin Section championship at Whitney High School. “It was an amazing game and so close,” said Ponderosa head coach Greg Spangler. “Both teams gave everything and played their hearts out.” Both teams came into the showdown with high credentials. St. Francis was ranked 5th in California (24th nationally) and the Lady Bruins sat at 18th in the Golden State (55th nationally). Ponderosa finished its season unscathed with a 10-0 record in the Foothill Valley League and 20-1-1 overall. The Troubadors grinded out a 9-1-2 mark in the Delta League, going 22-2-3 on the season. The stage was set for a soccer classic and neither team disappointed fans. The powerhouse teams delivered as closely a contested match as the records and rankings suggested. The Bruins lit up the scoreboard first in the

SMASHMOUTH SPORTS

“Smashmouth” is a slang term used describe a rough, aggressive style of athletic play. This casual talk is well and good, but when it comes to action, athletes had better wear mouth guards to help prevent contact-related dental injuries. Unfortunately, some athletes are reluctant to do so. According to one study, many college athletes said that they disliked mouth guards, because of poor retention and breathing and speech impairment. However, these problems were largely traced to the use of “boil-and-bite” mouth guards. These inexpensive over-thecounter mouth guards are first boiled and, then, while warm and soft, placed in the mouth to mold to the bite. The custom mouth guards available from dentists are far more comfort-

able and functional. One of our basic philosophies is that our patients must recognize the need to take charge of their dental health and do what is necessary to prevent, arrest, or control their own dental conditions. We’ll work together as a team with you to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. From sound advice about mouth guards to routine well visits to major dental reconstructions, we’ve got your dental needs covered. P.S. Wearing a protective mouth guard significantly reduces the incidence of a concussion by a blow to the jaw, because the condyle (the protrusion of bone at the jaw joint) is separated from the base of the skull, with the mandible placed in a forward position.

Ponderosa High School junior forward Ally Tomasetti takes on St. Francis defenders on the end line before assisting on a goal for the Lady Bruins on Saturday in the Division II Sac-Joaquin Section championship at Whitney Field in Rocklin. 11th minute when senior striker Shane Steiner found the back of the net on a follow-up for the first of what would be two scores on the day for the forward. St. Francis answered the bell when in the 25th-minute star senior defender Marli Berry stepped into an open space and cracked a shot into the low left corner from 25-yards out. Both teams regrouped at halftime tied 1-1 for what would be a physical second half. The Troubadours wasted no time in taking the lead when Berry dribbled the ball deep into the teeth of the Bruins defense, drawing defenders before finding senior forward Lindsey

Paitanesi, who slipped a shot past Ponderosa senior goalie Alizabeth Sanne from the penalty mark area. Not long after the “never-say-die” Bruins countered when junior Ally Tomasetti put on a dribbling exhibition, tiptoeing along the sidelines past Troubadour defenders before sliding a pass to Steiner for her second goal. Tied 2-2 the match seemed destined for overtime but in the 78th-minute St. Francis junior forward Jackie Stanco chipped a shot no keeper could have saved into the right upper corner of the net — from 20-yards out. As remaining time ticked off the clock the

goal would prove to be the game winner for the Troubadours, leaving the Bruins runner-ups. An early injury was a factor in the game. Junior center defender Kendal Buckley could not continue after a severe ankle injury seven minutes into the game. “Losing Kendal so early really left us scrambling to get our defense straight,” Spangler explained. “She’s very important to what we do as the center back.” Ponderosa’s season isn’t over. They have qualified for the CIF Northern California Regional girls soccer championships and were expected to play Tuesday, hosting Cardinal Newman High School from Santa Rosa. Oak Ridge High School senior guard Lauren Helwig makes a drive with St. Mary’s on her heels in the Trojans’ loss to St. Mary’s of Stockton at Golden 1 Center Friday.

Valiant Oak Ridge drops to basketball dynasty Kevin Christensen Staff writer

resilient Oak Ridge High School girls basketball team showed grit on the court Friday night in the capital city, but in the end could not topple a dynasty from Stockton. The No. 3-ranked Lady Trojans lost to the No. 1-ranked St. Mary’s Lady Rams 56-45 in the Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship game at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. Coming into the anticipated contest Oak Ridge was ranked No. 17 in California (59th in the nation). St. Mary’s entered the title game with a gaudy No. 2 ranking in the Golden State (8th in the nation). The win gives the Rams their 13th consecutive championship in Division I, II and III as part of the Sac-Joaquin Section. Tied 12-12 after the first period and trailing by 10 points at half, the Trojans were well within striking distance the entire game. In the end overcoming a second period drought that saw the Rams outscore Oak Ridge 16-6 and the championship pedigree of St. Mary’s proved to be too much for the Trojans on this night. “We kept the game within reach and were just not able to get the run and punch we needed,” Trojans head coach Steve White said. “They play tough defense and contest shots.” The Rams shot 49 percent from the field to the Trojans 34 percent and hit 4-of-11 (36%) from beyond the arc while Oak Ridge went just 2-of16 (13%) from the three point mark. The Trojans turned the ball over 19 times to 15 for the Rams. St. Mary’s bothered Trojan shots all night recording six blocked shots. Trojans sophomore guard Teagan Brown led Oak Ridge with a double-double recording 18 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore forward Kamryn Mangels added 10 points for the Trojans.

Standout center Amaya Oliver patrolled the paint and went 8-of-11 from the charity strike, totaling 18 points for the Lady Rams. Nia Anderson controlled the tempo at point guard, giving St. Mary’s 10 points. White said a key injury was a factor and foul trouble plagued the Trojans in the title game. Oak Ridge had multiple players with four fouls entering the fourth quarter and senior forward Erica Ingram was playing through a serious ankle sprain. “Erica was on crutches all week and we did not know if she could go tonight,” White commented. “She really gutted it out tonight.” The underdog Trojans finished the regular season 24-5, winning the Sierra Valley League with a 9-1 record entering Friday night’s game. St. Mary’s came into the evening as favorites going 22-4 overall with an unblemished 10-0 record in the Tri-City Athletic League. Led by seniors McConnell, Lauren Helwig (guard) and Erika Ingram (forward) all year, the Trojans lost this battle, but the war is not over. Oak Ridge will continue its season at the California Interscholastic Federation State Basketball Championships in the upcoming week in the Northern California region. “I am proud of how the team came together this season,” White added. “Megan (McConnell) all season was the epitome of how we want to play and never gives up. Lauren (Helwig) was a leader for us all year.” Oak Ridge, who lost to St. Mary’s in the Division I title game in 2014, will have to wait another year to take down the St. Mary’s dynasty — unless they meet again in the state championships. St. Mary’s now has 21 blue banners, the most in Sac-Joaquin Section history. The Lady Trojans have one more shot at a title. They were to host Menlo School in the first round of the CIF Northern California Regional girls basketball championships Tuesday.

California Matters

Climate change and the state’s water supply

alifornia, as everyone knows, receives virtually all of its precipitation during a few fall and winter months. In 2019 some early rain and snow storms promised a bountiful water year. This year Mother Nature kept that DAN WALTERS promise in Southern California, where precipitation is running at or above the normal, but Northern California — far more important from a water supply standpoint — has been a different story. The north has seen almost no precipitation since Christmas, the all-important Sierra snowpack is less than half its average depth and the region’s balmy, springlike weather shows no signs of ending. A stubborn high-pressure area off the coast has been blocking Arctic Ocean storms from dipping into California, leaving water managers hoping for a “March miracle” like the one that rescued the state from an even worse winter dry spell in 1991. Whatever happens this year, the abrupt end to what appeared initially to be a wet season is another reminder that California can never take its water supply for granted, especially given the forecasts of what climate change might wrought. The official expectation is that while overall precipitation may remain roughly the same, we would see less in the form of snow and more as rain. Were it to occur, mountain snowpacks, which are natural reservoirs that release their water slowly, would diminish, requiring more manmade storage to capture winter rains. A newly released “Water Resilience Portfolio,” drafted by a coalition of state agencies in response to an executive order from Gov. Gavin Newsom last year, warns, “California confronts more extreme droughts and floods, rising temperatures, depleted groundwater basins, aging infrastructure and other challenges magnified by climate change.” It calls for a “a broad, diversified approach” that includes not only more storage, but diversifying supply sources, improving natural systems where possible and building infrastructure to more easily move water from where it is to where it’s needed. The report embraces two big projects — the proposed Sites reservoir on the west side of the Sacramento Valley and a long-envisioned, ultracontroversial tunnel to carry Sacramento River water beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Sites, in Colusa and Glenn counties, has been on the drawing boards for decades. It wouldn’t dam any major streams, but rather store diversions from the Sacramento River during high flows, up to 1.2 million acre-feet, for release when needed to meet downstream demands, particularly during dry periods. It’s somewhat similar to the state/federal San Juan Reservoir on the Pacheco Pass west of Merced. The single tunnel beneath the Delta is Newsom’s smaller, renamed version of the twin tunnels that ■

Sprucing up our town EDITOR: o the Placerville City Council: Winter appears to be waning and spring is nigh. Time for ya’ll to look around and see what’s missing or needing some attention, if you will. Wasn’t that many moons ago that we all swelled up with pride as a fleet of surveyors, workers, scrapers, backhoes, concrete trucks and paving machines converged on downtown Placerville and created a magnificent new Main Street roadway. We are grateful for and more than pleased with the new crosswalks, planters, curbs, light poles and all the other what-not necessary to put more pizzazz in our unique little town. Then you got to the ugly duckling Broadway and stopped. How come? Surely it wasn’t unreasonable to keep going for another couple miles once you had all the road construction people and machines in place. For a long while we have watched with fingers crossed as lines were spray painted across Broadway in their traditional Day-Glocolors. Could this be the sign that grinders and hot tar trucks were close behind? Alas, all that ever came of it was nothing more than a new trench or two and more potholes. Broadway from Mosquito Road to Texerna Court is a mess. Severely worn and cracking asphalt, potholes and sunken pavement patches abound. Vehicles actually rock and sway even when traveling just 5 mph at the necessarily slow and short distance eastbound between Wiltse and Schnell

School roads. Elsewhere it’s pick-and-choose from left to right to select the best portion of the roadway to drive on. It’s rumored that work will soon begin along upper Broadway to install sidewalks. If that is so, perhaps it would be a good time to kill two birds with one stone and repair and repave Broadway too. Doing that would go a long way toward reducing tire and front end alignment damage to our vehicles and would make driving on Broadway a pleasant and smooth experience again. Thank you very much in advance. HAL PETRIE Placerville

California Legislature changes needed EDITOR: aving a super-majority in the California Legislature, Democrats in recent years have passed about 1,000 new laws annually that impact us all. Having an opposition party of nearly even strength would create discussion to soften some of these harsh laws. I’m especially displeased with AB5, which prevents Californians from working as independent contractors in such occupations as writing, acting, driving trucks and many others. I don’t understand why Democrats have prevented so many artists, writers, actors and musicians from working in California. Perhaps residents who have been denied the right to work on their own terms will vote in future elections for candidates who favor individual liberty more than governmental control. One other aspect of California politics not often mentioned is the idea of representation that improves local control. One rumor I heard is that large organizations such as the teachers’ union exert enormous influence in the Legislature. Because state Assembly members represent 500,000 Californians each there is no time to consult with individuals. Assembly members mainly speak with lobbyists and representatives of large businesses. If you wish to find a way to make your voice heard go to ARR4all.org. There you will find a plan to improve your representation. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville

aware of that and watching for it. Isn’t mindful awareness what we humans crave as well? When you’re having a conversation, what thrills you is when the person you’re speaking to really gets what you’re saying and understands the emotional content of the message. It’s more than simply being a “good listener”— as in paying attention and not interrupting. It’s perceiving at a deeper level that truly connects you to the other person. In Warwick’s horsemanship clinics many participants are women. “I ask them, Have you ever gotten a haircut and come home and you’re talking to your husband and waiting for him to notice? Then you ask him to do something — maybe take out the garbage — and he does it cheerfully, but you’re left feeling deflated? “And you think, He did what I asked but he never even noticed my haircut!” Warwick said people in this situation are disheartened because their partners aren’t “right there” with them, connected in that deep way that would’ve given them the clues needed to be able to notice the hair — and a whole lot more. “So, with the horse, when you

release the pressure when his ear simply flicks toward you it’s almost like letting him know you’ve ‘noticed his haircut.’ You’re tuned in to him. You prove to him that you’re aware, you’re connected.” And if you’re not connected in this way? “It makes a huge difference. The horses won’t give you their whole selves; they sort of hold stuff in reserve. It’s hard to explain, but they don’t feel totally trusting, so they don’t completely open up to you. “It’s like the woman and her husband,” he continued, circling back to his analogy. “When she realizes he’s not really connected to her at that level, there start to be little subtle things that indicate she’s not truly opening up to him in return.” This was a lightbulb moment I could relate to. To be truly connected you must do more than just being there, listening. You must actively try to gauge how your partner is feeling in the moment, then making him or her aware that you know how they feel by how you respond. That’s when connection clicks in.

Golden Sierra falls at Golden 1 Thomas Frey Staff writer

espite falling to Colfax 66-23 Friday, Golden Sierra High School made it to the Division V Sac-Joaquin Section Championship for the second time in school history and did so with just one senior starter. Now Golden Sierra heads to the Northern California basketball playoffs. The Grizzlies played a difficult non-league schedule to start the season before going on to win the Sierra Delta League with a 9-1 record. Meghan Wright took over the head coaching job at Golden Sierra before the 2016 season and immediately turned the program around. In the four years prior to Wright taking over, the Grizzlies won just 27.2 percent of their games. “The program had seen varsity coach turnover every year,” Wright said. “I started these girls back when they were in second and third grade and just stayed with them.” In her first year, she took a team that had gone 9-17 in 2015-16 to the playoffs. The next season, Golden Sierra went 18-11, lost in the second round of the section playoffs and qualified for the NorCal playoffs with a team full of juniors and seniors. With a young team the following season, Golden Sierra returned to the playoffs in 2018-19. This season’s team, featuring junior Sarah Kuhl, sophomore

Rebecca Reed and freshman Raychel Reed, earned the No. 2 seed in the section playoffs and defeated Rio Vista and Le Grand to reach section finals. Golden Sierra left Garden Valley at 7 a.m. for its 10 a.m. tip-off at Golden 1 Center. The last time the Grizzlies reached the section finals, they were in Division III and they played Colfax, who won that day 60-32. And 36 years later, Colfax won again without any issues. The Falcons also won a section championship in 2018 and are led by Grace Bliss, who is going to Cal Poly on a track scholarship. She stole the show scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds without playing during the fourth quarter. Bliss and the rest of the Falcons jumped out to an 18-2 lead

before Golden Sierra cut the lead to 22-11. But Colfax regained its composure and led 42-16 at halftime. The Grizzlies were led by Kuhl, who scored 8 points, pulled down 6 rebounds and guarded Bliss. “I do think that Sarah (Kuhl), made (Bliss) work very hard today, didn’t give her anything easy,” Wright said. “This is kind of the beginning,” Wright said. “They’ve grown a lot together and have a lot of work to do. We’ve developed kind of later in the season. Winning league for the first time in several years, I know they will be back again.” Golden Sierra was to play University Prep in Redding Tuesday night in the first round of the CIF Northern California Regional girls basketball championships.

to the Department of Public Health. The other 19 confirmed cases include 10 that are travel related, two due to person-toperson exposure from family contact, three due to person-toperson exposure in a health care facility and four from unknown sources. On Monday a case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Placer County. The individual, a NorthBay VacaValley Hospital health care worker, had close contact with a person in Solano County confirmed to have the infection. No further details have been released by Placer County Public Health about the affected individual other than to say the person shows only mild symptoms so far. COVID-19 is a virus that can cause symptoms similar to a seasonal flu including cough, fever and shortness of breath. COVID-19 has a high transmission rate and low mortality rate — estimated at 1 to 2%, according to the Department of Public Health.

Some people may have COVID-19 and not even know it. Department of Public Health officials said that based on the international data they have, 80% of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 don’t have any symptoms that would require hospitalization and many people infected with the coronavirus circulating in the U.S. recover on their own. Those with underlying health problems, such as the elderly or those with severe symptoms, may require more intensive medical care. Coronaviruses are part of a large family of viruses, some of which commonly circulate in humans. These viruses cause mild to moderate respiratory illness. COVID-19 is closely related to two other animal coronaviruses that have caused outbreaks in people — the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) coronavirus and the MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) coronavirus. This year’s flu season has already sickened at least 19

million across the U.S. and led to 10,000 deaths and 180,000 hospitalizations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People with symptoms of COVID-19 or who have reason to believe they may have been exposed are advised to call their health care provider or local health department before seeking care. Contacting medical professionals in advance ensures patients get the care they need without putting others at risk. As with any virus, especially during flu season, county officials remind residents there are steps that can be taken to protect their health and the health of others: • Wash your hands with soap and water. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.

his predecessor, Jerry Brown, championed and a direct descendant of a “peripheral canal” that Brown had backed during his first governorship four decades ago, only to see it rejected in a statewide referendum in 1982. In theory the tunnel, now dubbed “Delta Conveyance,” could deliver more water to the head of the California Aqueduct near Tracy and relieve pressure on the Delta — assuming that there was more water to deliver from upstream reservoirs such as Shasta, Trinity, Oroville and Sites. However, critics say the tunnel could reduce flows the Delta needs to stop its environmental degradation.

If nothing else, Newsom and the state’s water management agencies should be commended for taking a serious look at California’s vulnerabilities and reinforcing the sometimes forgotten fact that despite the state’s constant political warfare over water, ultimately we will all feel the impacts, good or bad, of how it’s managed in the years ahead. Meanwhile, we should all be hoping this month will bring another miracle.

began four years ago when he tried and failed to reform an athletic show horse whose prior training and competition schedule had left him shut down mentally. Confident in his training chops, Warwick tried his usual approaches and was astounded to find, “I couldn’t do anything with that horse!” As a result, the trainer began changing the way he looked at things. Ultimately, he realized he himself was the problem. “Men from my generation are taught that men don’t cry. But —and I learned this from author Brené Brown — you cannot selectively repress emotions. If you repress one emotion, you wind up repressing all of them to some extent. “I thought, am I repressed?” Turns out he was, but ongoing talk therapy helped him learn how to open up. He recalls one of his group-therapy homework assignments in particular — count his judgmental thoughts. “We had to move a pebble from one pocket to another every time we had a judgmental thought. I figured I had about three negative thoughts a day so I put three pebbles in my pocket. “Then I had 21 negative thoughts before breakfast! And the thing is, once you start counting them you become acutely aware of how many you

have — about everyone and everything, including yourself. It was the most profound thing!” Now, I myself am no stranger to negative thoughts. I think of myself as an essentially positive person but I have perfectionist tendencies and that means a highly honed critical faculty — for better and often for worse. Warwick nailed for me exactly how that can be a problem. “People can pick up on when you’re being judgmental in your head and when you’re not, even if they don’t consciously realize it,” he explained. “It affects how they feel about you and how they respond to you. And with horses … even more so.” Once he began letting go of the nonstop, inner critiquing he found all his relationships improving. And these days when someone hands him the lead rope of a “bad” horse that’s been acting up and it lowers its head and heaves a sigh and walks right up to him, that tells him something. “Since the therapy and the changes I’ve made, that kind of thing just happens,” he said. “It does require some personal growth, and to look at things differently. And that’s hard for all of us.” True enough. But the results are very much worth the effort. My husband and I both agree on that. Jennifer Forsberg Meyer is a columnist with the Mountain Democrat.

it,” Cummings said. “I just felt like we deserved to win that game by a mile. From there, we just had to hold it and make sure they didn’t score.” The Cougars defense held tall and when the referee blew the final whistle they ran over to celebrate with goalkeeper Gabriel Aguilar and head coach Steve Beck. “To get a red card at the end of regulation and play a player down and win in overtime, that’s the grace of God,” Beck said. “That is the holy spirit working in these boys’ lives. It doesn’t get more clear to me that the grace of God is in their lives, because their hearts are good.” El Dorado fell behind early when Natomas scored in the seventh minute. In the 24th minute, Cummings got his team on the board by slipping the ball past the goalie’s right side. In the 29th minute El Dorado was called for a foul in the box and

Natomas lined up for a penalty kick, aiming to regain the lead. But goaltender Gabriel Aguilar read the attacker’s body language and blocked the shot. “It doesn’t get any better,” Beck said. The game remained deadlocked until the 61st minute when Cummings scored his second goal of the game to give the Cougars a 2-1 lead. “He is a magic player. He is just a gifted player,” Beck said. “I mean he scored two goals in the finals. I told him that is testimony to how good he is. He is a legend. He’s got a legacy behind him in high school.” Three minutes later, Natomas tied up the score 2-2. Natomas nearly took the lead in the 72nd minute but Aguilar blocked the shot. El Dorado was slated to host Saint Mary’s of Albany in the first round of the CIF Northern California Regional boys soccer championships Tuesday.

came out on top. The team knows each other. Many players from both schools suit up for the Folsom Lake Earthquakes club team. The head coach for the Earthquakes is also Oak Ridge head coach Rino Chimienti. The Trojans relied heavily on sophomores Emily Lieber and Grace Goins and junior Jessica Polson to get the offense going and each had several opportunities during the first 80 minutes but were unable to get a score past the goalkeeper. “We had numerous opportunities in both the first and second half, we just couldn’t put them away,” Chimienti said. “The ball just deflected or it would go straight to the keeper.” The Folsom keeper, junior Emma Hoffman, who has committed to Chico State, fended off the Trojans’ attack. In the 64th minute, Hoffman made a great save on a shot by Lieber. On the ensuing Folsom possession, the Bulldogs nearly scored but missed to the right of the goal. In the 76th minute Oak Ridge goalkeeper Kate Plachy, a freshman, made a slide save to keep the score even and four minutes later the game went to overtime. “(Plachy) is such a stud,” Lieber said. “As a freshman she is by far the best goalie in the league, maybe even the state. She comes through when we need her most and she is definitely our No. 1 on the field every day.” In the eighth minute of overtime Lieber, who came into the game with

21 goals, had a breakaway down the field and after drawing defenders, passed the ball about 5 yards to Goins, who broke the scoreless tie to send the Trojans into pandemonium. Oak Ridge was 12 minutes away from a section championship. “It was all heart,” Lieber said. “We could tell that both teams really wanted it but in the end we came through and we just played with so much heart. In the end we loved winning more than we hated to lose and that’s what came through at the end.” For the remainder of the game the Trojans kept the ball away from their net and away from the Bulldogs. In in the 15th minute of the 20-minute overtime session Goins found Lieber, who buried her 22nd goal of the season to make the score 2-0. “Once we got one, we felt like two or three would come because we were controlling the game, I thought,” Chimienti said. “Folsom works hard. I know a lot of their players; they battled, they worked very hard. I just think that it came down to our team getting better and better every week. Every challenge that comes up we step up and we find a way to prevail. We have seven freshman, six sophomores and only three juniors and two seniors. This is going to be a team to deal with for years to come.” Oak Ridge was scheduled to host St. Francis in the CIF Northern California Regional girls soccer championship Tuesday.

Solutions to puzzles in Classified section of newspaper.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). “There ain’t no way to find out why a snorer can’t hear himself snore,” suggested Mark Twain in “Tom Sawyer Abroad.” Indeed, today will be an exercise in tolerating a puzzling sort of unawareness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Go on and indulge yourself. It will be lucky to splurge on something frivolous. You’ll make dozens of good decisions today, and spoiling yourself will be one of them. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can zoom in and out endlessly on life and it will be different at every range, though somehow, oddly, still the same. Just go to the scale that makes you feel the most comfortable and deem that good enough. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When interruptions happen, it’s as though life is telling you that there’s a different order of priorities than the one you had in mind. You’ll get to decide if you agree with life or not. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are gentle and patient aspects to your personality, and then there’s the part of it that gets fearsome to make things happen. These will integrate beautifully today as you switch modes to suit each situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your attention is an emotional sunlamp, an incubator for the baby chicks whose feathers are still just fuzz, a hot drink on a cold day. The comfort you give works from the inside out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). An old emotional wound still

has an impact on the way you process life. Bit by bit, you can free yourself from this limit. When you finally get free, a more spontaneous and playful version of yourself will be waiting on the other side. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The maze of your inner world will feature hidden pathways to treasure as well as booby traps, and sometimes you can’t tell the difference. Count yourself ahead of the game just because you’re willing to explore. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have been known to take the smallest hint as a sign from the universe. Then again, when you really want something, even the big hints won’t dissuade you. You’ll get a taste of both scenarios today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be the recipient of good fortune and sweet surprises. Though, in a way, you buy these circumstances with either your work, the goodwill you invest or with actual dollars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It isn’t selfish to focus on learning about yourself. You’re a wondrously complex creature and as worthy of investigation as any on the planet. Who better to study you than the one who is already in such close vicinity? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your comfortable state of mind makes you at home wherever you go. Take advantage of this by daring into the unknown. This is will be your most confident moment of the week.

DAY HIKER Table Mountain

lan to hike Table Mountain Preserve this spring. The only way to believe this place is for real is to see it. Easter weekend is a popular time. But as long as the flowers bloom it is worth the drive to Oroville in Butte County. In 2017 I was concerned about the Table Mountain Fire the previous fall and its effect on the landscape. My fears were quickly put to rest when setting out on this 5-mile, out-andback hike. If anything, the flowers grew in greater profusion than in previous years. The waterfall flowed from recent rains and the scent in the air was pure perfume. 2018’s Camp Fire once again threatened but didn’t burn the preserve. The hike is much longer for me as I see yet another wide swath of flowers and I just have to take a picture of each. Every stream and hill are blanketed in poppies, lupines, paintbrush and a dozen other flowers. The green grass is a perfect contrast to the quilt of colors spreading for

Mary West Outdoor columnist acres in all directions. Then there are the waterfalls. The brittle basalt that forms the mesa that is Table Mountain has eroded to provide spectacular waterfalls to amaze you still more. On the stroll back enjoy the vernal pools in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve as you take your time walking back to your car. A pass is required to enter the preserve, according to the Fish and Wildlife website. Get it before you go. Cell reception is spotty once there. “A CDFW Lands Pass must be carried by each visitor who is 16 years of age or older; however, visitors who are carrying a valid California hunting or fishing license in their name are exempt

Grow for it! Safe and sane gardening until you’re 90 Jan Keahy UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County

o you love to garden? Do you want to garden for many years to come? If so, you’re like many other people in the country. People garden for the enjoyment of creating beauty, for raising one’s own food and for the physical fitness it offers. People are gardening into their late 90s, albeit it on a smaller scale, but still enjoying the joys of gardening. The trick is not to injure yourself so you don’t have to take time off from a pastime you enjoy. There are many ways you can protect yourself. For instance, try to avoid prolonged repetitive motion by taking a break every 15 minutes or so. You’ll also want to protect your body in various ways, depending on the task at hand. Impactresistant goggles should be worn when needed to protect your eyes. When using loud equipment, hearing protection should be worn. Look for devices such as ear plugs with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 25 or greater. The NRR will be indicated on the package. Masks should be worn when working with anything that could pose a

threat to the lungs. Disposable masks are available at all hardware stores. Look for masks with an N95 rating. Think about your attire also. Do you need a sun hat today or maybe a hard hat to protect your head from falling objects? If you’ll be working with chemicals or equipment, long-sleeve shirts, long pants and closed-toe shoes should be worn. And in any area with uneven terrain, wearing supportive shoes is a good idea to protect your feet and ankles. Don’t forget a good pair of gardening gloves. When using tools, choose the right tool for the task and make sure it is in good operating order and sharp. Check to make sure cords on electric tools are in good condition and, if using an extension cord, ensure that it’s the right gauge for the tool. If you have any doubt about your ability to handle a powerful tool, call a professional. If you’re planning on using chemicals be sure to follow the directions on the label. Wear goggles and gloves that are impervious to chemicals, such as ones coated in Nitrile, a synthetic-rubber compound. Always store your chemicals in the original container and keep them out of the reach of children. And don’t overuse chemicals. If it was safe to use more than indicated on the label the chemical companies would recommend so since they want to sell more of the product. We’re very lucky to be gardening at this point

in merchandising history because there are so many props and ergonomic tools available to help senior gardeners. Spend some time checking them out at your favorite garden center or in a favorite gardening catalogue. For more information on these topics, join the Master Gardeners for a free class So You Want to Garden Until You’re 90 — Safe and Sane Gardening, 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday, March 11, at the Cameron Park Community Center, 2502 Country Club Drive in Cameron Park. Saturday, March 7, is a First Saturday Public Tour and Solar Viewing at the Sherwood Demonstration Garden. An experienced Master Gardener conducts a free garden group tour at 9 a.m. for individuals, family and friends. There are 16 separate demonstration gardens ranging from the Shade Garden to the Rock Garden and everything in between. From 10 a.m. to noon observe the sun safely through two types of solar telescopes. The Community Observatory, which is adjacent to the garden, will set up their Hydrogen-Alpha telescopes that allow us to safely view sun spots, solar flares, filaments and solar prominences. All events at the Sherwood Demonstration Garden and the Community Observatory are free. In the demonstration garden you can join the 9 a.m. tour or just stroll through the open gardens on your own. There us a $2 parking fee.

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 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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-58534. 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 Web site.

D I S A D VA N TA G E D BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PARTICIPATION: 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 14%. PREVAIlING WAGE REQUIREMENTS: Contractor’s attention is directed to the requirements of Division 2 Part 7, Chapter 1 of the California Labor Code, 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) 703-4708 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. 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. 276a to 276a-7 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330 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. AWARD OF CONTRACT: 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. As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit payment and performance bonds along with evidence of insurance prior to execution of the Agreement by the County. Failure to meet this requirement constitutes abandonment of the Bid by the Bidder and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. Award will then be made to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder. RETAINAGE FROM PAYMENTS: 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.

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.
