Local officials recently toured the 14 Forward compound in Marysville, an organized village of sheds placed on land in Yuba County where the homeless are housed as they seek positive change.

Dylan Svoboda Staff writer With more than 97 percent of ballots counted, El Dorado County elections results are all but final. In November, voters will decide two supervisor races while a third is nearly over already. The results below are current as of press time Tuesday.

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors District 1

‘Tiny houses’

Incumbent John Hidahl and former supervisor Ron Briggs will go headto-head in a runoff in the November general election. Hidahl has taken home 43.2% of the vote, falling short of the 50%-plus-one threshold needed to win the election outright. Briggs has come away with 24.71%, beating out El Dorado Hills Community Services District Board of Directors President Ben Paulsen, who is sitting at 21.65%. District 1 encompasses most of El Dorado Hills.

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors District 2

Pat Lakey Staff writer

Business owner George Turnboo and former Cal Fire director Ken Pimlott are heading to a runoff election in November. Turnboo led the way with 26.1% of the vote to Pimlott’s 22.62%, a difference of more than 500 votes. Cameron Park Community Services District board member Felicity Carlson and former supervisor Ray Nutting were hot on the tail of Pimlott at 21.19% and 20.44% of the vote, respectively. The District 2 race was the most competitive of this election season with seven candidates. No other candidate has received more than 6% of the vote. The candidates were running to replace current supervisor Shiva Frentzen, who is termed out. District 2 encompasses south county, much of Cameron Park and portions of Shingle Springs and El Dorado Hills.

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors District 3

Former Placerville mayor Wendy Thomas had a big night March 3. Thomas is set to win the district seat outright, avoiding a run-off election in November. She leads opponent Brian DeBerry 60.32% to 39.68%. District 3 encompasses Placerville, n

EDC residents aboard coronavirus cruiseliner test negative Dawn Hodson Staff writer Thirteen El Dorado County residents were aboard the Mexico-bound Grand Princess ship where 21 confirmed cases of coronavirus were reported, according to El Dorado County officials. All were screened/assessed and either finished their 14-day selfquarantine without symptoms or were tested for COVID-19 and those tests were negative. Officials expect to hear within the next 48 hours if any of the passengers on a different ship that docked in Oakland on Monday are from

El Dorado County. Indications are that at least one Shingle Springs couple may have been on that ship. As of March 9 the El Dorado County Public Health Department continues to reassure residents that there are no confirmed cases of the disease in El Dorado County. The California Department of Public Health reported that as of March 8 there were a total of 114 positive cases statewide and one death in California; 24 cases are from repatriation flights. The other 90 confirmed cases include 37 that are travel related, 23 due to person-to-person contact, 14

Health officials believe the patient was exposed to the virus while on the Grand Princess cruise ship that left San Francisco Feb. 11 for a round-trip to Mexico, returning Feb. 21. The man tested positive on March3 and was subsequently isolated at Kaiser Roseville in “critically ill” condition. He died early the following morning, March 4. Out of concern of catching

the disease, a few schools in neighboring counties have shut down for a few days or longer or have gone through special disinfection regimens. Officials at two Sacramento City Unified School District schools announced Friday that someone connected with the schools was potentially exposed to the virus and is in self-quarantine, but both schools remain open after being deep-cleaned this past weekend. In Placer County, some of the county’s school districts also increased their cleaning protocol, including cleaning desks, keyboards, doorknobs and even school buses.

The Elk Grove Unified School District announced March 6 that it was closing its schools and called off any student-related activities from March 7 through March 13, even though no student or any of its staff have yet tested positive for COVID-19. The district, which serves approximately 64,000 students, won’t lose any school days because it is moving spring break up to this week instead of when it was originally scheduled in April.

Saratoga Way to connect El Dorado Hills and Folsom n Area residents raise

safety concerns Sel Richard Staff writer

Drivers looking for alternate ways into Folsom will soon have a new option.

Updated vote count in on ballot measures Dawn Hodson Staff writer El Dorado County voters faced a long list of local taxes, bond measures and one statewide bond measure in the March 3 primary election, with all but one going down to defeat and another sliding toward voter rejection as well. Garnering enough votes to pass was Measure J that will impact Pollock Pines residents living in the Gilmore Vista Road Zone of Benefit. Funds generated from the special tax will go toward snow removal, road improvements and maintenance. With millions of ballots left to count statewide, Measure E’s fate is not yet set in stone. The measure would raise about $52 million annually for the Los Rios Community College District. With campuses across five counties, the ballot counts in those areas show 148,734 voters saying yes to the bond measure and 192,211 saying no. These are the numbers as of Friday, March 6: Measure A failed, receiving only 21,894 (38.5%) yes votes and 35,013 (61.5%) no votes. The measure required 55% voter approval to pass and would have authorized $120 million in bonds for improvements to El Dorado Union High School District schools. It would have added approximately $16 per $100,000 to residents’ home’s assessed value. Measure B needed two-thirds of the vote to pass but only gathered 2,103 (61.4%) yes votes and 1,325 (38.7%) no votes. The measure would have implemented an annual $52 special parcel tax to benefit the Lake Valley Fire Protection District with the money going toward improving fire protection and suppression and emergency medical services. Measure C was shot down with 332 (48.1%) votes for and 359 (52%) votes against it — a two-thirds vote was needed to pass. The measure would have levied a special tax no higher than $8 per parcel annually with the revenues used to improve the Kelsey Pioneer Cemetery. Measure E needs 55% voter approval to pass with voters in five counties deciding on the $650 million bond measure that proposes raising an average of $52 million annually for the Los Rios Community College District. Revenues would be

used for repairs, improvements, job training and programs at the American River, Cosumnes River, El Dorado, Folsom Lake and Sacramento City college campuses. The measure would cost property owners less than 2 cents per $100 of their home’s assessed value. In El Dorado County the measure was voted down by 39,711 (66.6%) of voters and approved by 19,912 (33.4%) of voters. It was also failing in all five associated counties with 148,734 voters saying yes to the bond measure and 192,211 saying no, as of March 6. Measure G also went down to defeat with only 5,515 (39.6%) yes votes and 8,407 (60.4%) no votes on a measure that needed 55% to pass. The $75 million proposed bond would have cost property owners about 3 cents per $100 of their home’s assessed value and would have gone toward health and safety improvements to the Rescue Union School District. Measure H, a $29.9 million bond measure that would have upgraded school facilities in the Black Oak Mine Unified School District, attracted 2,381 (42.7%) yes votes and 3,190 (57.3%) no votes in a contest that required 55% voter approval to pass. The measure would have cost property owners about 4.9 cents per $100 of their home’s assessed value. Measure J passed, garnering the two-thirds vote needed to qualify. Yes votes were 32 (71.1%) and no votes were 13 (28.9%). The measure will implement an annual $270 special tax on each improved parcel and $120 on each unimproved parcel of land within the Gilmore Vista Road Zone of Benefit to replace the existing assessments of $170 and $70. Measure K failed; it would have implemented an annual $450 special parcel tax within the Fernwood Cothrin Ranch Road Zone of Benefit. Designed to replace an existing $150 tax and needing passage by two-thirds of voters in the zone, yes votes were 191 (57.5%) and no votes were 141 (42.5%). Revenue from the measure would have been used toward road improvements and maintenance services. Measure L, the Lynx Trail Measure, came short of two-thirds of the vote with 31 (48.4%) voting no n

HEALTHIER GUMS, LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE Recent research links poor oral health to conditions such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. The research concerning the association between gum disease and overall health should be of interest to anyone with high blood pressure. According to analysis of data from the annual U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, between 2009 and 2014, people with high blood pressure and gum disease found it more difficult to manage hypertension with medication than those hypertensive patients without gum disease. The more severe the gum disease, the higher the patients’ average systolic blood pressure was found to be. Overall, people with hypertension and periodontal disease were 20% more likely than those without gum disease to have their

hypertension controlled with medication. Acknowledging the inherent connection between oral health and a patient’s overall health, we’ll use many techniques to diagnose, treat, restore, and promote total patient well-being. We offer this column in the hopes of educating the general public about the benefits of oral health. If we can help, either by answering questions or by providing comprehensive dental care, please call us. State-of-the-art dentistry and a dedicated professional dental team make our office the ideal place to achieve optimum oral health. P.S.

California Matters

Newsom’s high-stakes Medi-Cal overhaul

he old adage about tiny acorns growing into mighty oak trees is not confined to dendrology. It applies as well to governmental programs and there’s no better example than Medi-Cal, California’s program of health care for the poor. DAN WALTERS An addendum to the landmark federal legislation creating Medicare coverage for the elderly 55 years ago offered federal subsidies to states for caring for the poor — dubbed Medicaid in most states but Medi-Cal in California. At the time Medi-Cal was seen as providing modest stipends for county hospitals and other providers of charity treatment but immediately began a never-ending expansion of benefits and recipients. The Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, paid for a huge surge of eligibility and today Medi-Cal provides coverage to 13 million Californians, more than a third of the state’s population, at a cost of well over $100 billion per year or about $8,000 for each recipient. Beginning with Pat Brown, every California governor has struggled to manage the ever-growing program, particularly how services would be delivered. At one point or another each governor attempted to streamline Medi-Cal’s ponderous procedural apparatus — that’s partly state and partly county — while dealing with demands for more financial support from medical care providers and managerial intermediaries, such as managed care organizations. Now it’s Gavin Newsom’s turn. And with characteristic can-do bravado, he’s proposing a major overhaul dubbed “California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal” or CalAIM. It embraces “whole person care,” including non-medical services such as housing, and would “move Medi-Cal to a more consistent and seamless system by reducing complexity and increasing flexibility” with “delivery system transformation.” “Today some Medi-Cal enrollees may need to access six or more separate delivery systems,” Newsom’s proposed 2020-21 budget declares as he seeks to merge them into seamless packages of individualized services that “will have significant impacts on an individual’s health” and “ultimately reduce the per-capita cost over time.” A major focus of the proposal is more intensive management of care for the relatively few recipients with “complex needs” who account for huge portions of Medi-Cal expenditures. Implicitly there’s more at stake in what Newsom proposes than just another in a long string of gubernatorial attempts at managerial improvement. Not only would it take Medi-Cal in an entirely new direction, such as housing, but with Newsom’s other proposal to extend coverage to more undocumented immigrants, it would lay the structural groundwork for his declared goal of “guaranteed health care for all Californians” via a state-managed single-payer system. The first analytical take on Newsom’s Medi-Cal ■

Letters to the Editor Affordable housing and the unhoused EDITOR: keep hearing not my problem, not in my back yard (NIMBY). How can we pay for it? Who will pay for it? With a 1.5% Social Security increase in 2020 many Californians are trying to figure out where they will go when they can no longer afford the home they are living in and to whom will they turn for help. The statistics are glaring and, make no mistake, the lack of affordable housing in California has reached a fever pitch. Every day we do nothing we are forcing more and more residents to make life-altering choices and many will end up on the streets. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, it costs taxpayers an average of $35,578 per year per homeless resident. If we do not address the un-housed and affordable housing crisis in our county and state we will be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. It is going to take more than a village; it’s going to take homeowners willing to build a granny flat or accessory dwelling unit on their property to accommodate a senior, low-income or work force tenant, keeping rents reasonable and fair. It will take responsible builders willing to work with incentive programs and maybe take a little less profit for the greater good. Finally, it will take Placerville City Council members, the Board of Supervisors and Legislature working together to remove cumbersome fees and legislation and to promote and spend wisely new incentivized programs and money put forth by the state to help solve the housing crisis. The efforts being made by El Dorado County leaders, nonprofits and residents is inspiring; they are knowledgeable and driven by a real desire to see positive changes in our county but there is more work to be done.

Wendy Schultz has TDS EDITOR: n response to “Teach your children what you really want to see” (Mountain Democrat, Feb. 28): Poor Wendy Schultz. She has a really bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). She still can’t get over the election of President Trump in 2016. In her “Teach your children” column she accuses President Trump of being a bully and a liar. In her article she compares President Trump to Henry VIII, Joseph Stalin and Hitler too.

Really, Wendy? Name-calling? I also found your column very amusing with 17 “we” words. You really mean the “you” word. You’re right that “you” are wasting your time. Plus “you” are right that “you” are “doomed to Failure.” I voted for President Trump in 2016 and he won. Your TDS started election night in 2016. I will also vote again for President Trump in 2020. Is your next article going to be even more crazy with TDS? What if President Trump wins again? Are you going to cry like the rest of “our media?” Your emotional name-calling and fake narratives are the very definition of Trump Derangement Syndrome. PATRICK WILLIAMS Pollock Pines

The problem with wanting to please people

ernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and all the candidates want to please enough of the American people to win. When it comes time for Americans to vote, a candidate wants to please the majority of the people, but most GLENN especially a majority of the electoral college. A ballplayer wants to please his coach. The player knows if the coach is displeased then he will see limited playing time. The student wants to please the teacher because the teacher will assign the grade. All of us have some people in our lives who we care about pleasing. The boss is the one who writes the paycheck. There is the pressure to

perform and succeed in order to get ahead in life. Some people do everything that is right such as work performance and extra hours and performing above expectations in order to get ahead. Sadly, some will stoop too far. We’ve heard a lot MOLLETTE about Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Out of all the many accusations there certainly has to be some truth that Weinstein was very wrong on multiple occasions. How many occasions though have persons done whatever it took to please Weinstein in order to get a movie part and a big paycheck? How many times a day does this still go on in Hollywood, politics, the corporate

world and on and on? Do you live to please people? I bet you do some of the time. There is somebody in your life you want to be happy with you. If your answer is “yes all the time” then I suspect that most of the time you are a very unhappy person. If you live to please people there will always be someone displeased with you. You can’t please everyone all the time and you can’t even please one person all the time. If you try to please all people then most of the people will always be displeased with you because everyone has different opinions about life and how you should live your life. An old minister said once, “If you please God it doesn’t matter who you please and if you displease God then it doesn’t matter who you please.” Keep in mind that you can please God and others may still be displeased.

People have opinions about how you should vote and how much of your money you should turn over to the government in taxes. People have opinions about how much of your money you should be allowed to keep. You’ll never make everybody happy, nor will Trump or Bernie Sanders. Sometimes people let you know how disappointed they are in you. It’s common for us to be disappointed in people especially if we are counting on them to make us happy. If your happiness today hinges on others you are already bound to face a disappointing day. If your goal is to make everybody happy today then you are already having a frustrating day. Just do and be the best you can. That’s all you can do. Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 12 books. Contact him atGMollette@ aol.com.

The Snowline Hospice Thrift Store at 455 Placerville Drive will close its doors for good April 30.

Snowline’s Placerville Drive thrift shop closing next month Dylan Svoboda Staff writer A Placerville thrift store is shutting its doors late next month. Come April 30, Snowline Hospice, a local health care non-profit, will close its Placerville Drive thrift shop. Financial woes and a challenging location caused the organization’s board of directors to decide against renewing its lease at 455 Placerville Drive, according to a press release from Snowline. The non-profit’s board president Craig Kuehn said the store’s proximity to its other Hangtown shop at 3961 El Dorado Road had partly to do with the closure. “Having two Placerville area thrift stores was going to be risky and challenging,” said board president Craig Kuehn. “This closing is a result of the current thrift store market, both locally and internationally.

warning that more school closures are likely around the state as the virus spreads. In El Dorado County there are no plans to close any of the area schools according to Dina Gentry, communications director for the El Dorado County Office of Education, because there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county as of March 9. As for county facilities, no special precautions are being taken other than providing information about how residents can protect themselves from coronavirus (and seasonal flu) via the county’s website. “We are not sanitizing equipment, parks or buildings,” said Carla Hass, the county’s director of communications and

stores have been a vital part of Snowline Hospice, helping with programs for our patients and families.” The Placerville Drive location’s employees will be offered transfers to other Snowline stores, the company stated. Kuehn said the company’s other three stores aren’t expected to be going anywhere anytime soon. The non-profit owns and operates two additional stores in the area, one located in Cameron Park at 3300 Coach Lane and another in Folsom at 616 East Bidwell. The store’s shuttering comes just over three years after the closure of Snowline’s Camino location, which closed its doors in December 2017. Snowline Hospice provides hospice and supportive care to the Western Slope of El Dorado County and the greater Sacramento region. The company celebrated 40 years in operation in April 2019.

outreach. “Employees may be taking it upon themselves to do so, but the public health officer has not directed nor suggested such specific steps in relation to county property.” Cleve Morris, the city manager for the City of Placerville, said city staff aren’t taking any special precautions other than wiping down common areas such as the front counters and behind the counters — areas used frequently by the public and employees. Staff at Red Hawk said they have implemented a number of preventative measures including using EPA approved, hospital grade disinfectants, adding additional hand sanitizing stations throughout the casino, increasing the frequency

of cleaning and sanitizing commonly touched surfaces throughout the casino, retraining food and beverage staff on proper hand washing and sanitizing procedures, encouraging staff to stay home when sick and communicating to their guests and staff all the preventative measures they are taking. Steps the public can take to reduce the chance of contracting the virus include cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces using regular household cleaning spray or wipes. Frequent hand washing, not touching one’s hands to one’s face and avoiding those who are sick is also advised by the county health department.

overhaul was issued late last month by Gabriel Petek, the Legislature’s budget analyst, and it was lukewarm, declaring, “The conceptual approach is promising and the reforms could bring benefits. At the same time the proposal raises many questions and presents risks to the state.” Petek’s analysts are particularly concerned about Newsom’s very tight schedule for implementation with many details as yet unknown. They also mention the creation of new entitlements, such as housing subsidies, that might be difficult to maintain.

It should also be noted that Newsom’s ability to recast Medi-Cal as a “whole person” system must pass muster with the federal government, which supplies most of its money. The outcome of this year’s presidential election will have something to do with that. Finally the fate of Obamacare is now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court and should it be invalidated everything reverts to zero.

reached the podium, “which is a good thing for me because I was pretty tired.” The volunteer explained she had been busy that day with Nomadic Shelter duties, and Dion-Perry added that Peg, in light of coronavirus, had undertaken “infection control measures this past weekend” at churches in the program. Peg told the crowd that along with food and shelter, “The best gift you can give the homeless is to stop and say hello. “You’re not going to get sucked into some scam … it’s an amazing thing to be among those in a community. Please do that — and other things.” Those other things were front and center as elected officials including Placerville City Councilman Dennis Thomas and his wife, Wendy Thomas, just elected to the county Board of Supervisors, sat in the audience and listened as possible solutions to the vexatious problem were explored. Perhaps one of the most intriguing would be the placing of garden sheds at the old Armory site, which has stood empty since the Boys and Girls Club moved into their brand-new facility off Mallard Lane, not far as the crow flies but a world away if amenities for youth are the measure. The big, gray Armory building has sat empty for a couple years now, and many have wondered why it couldn’t serve as a homeless shelter. Until recently, the answer was because it belongs to the state of California — but that changed Jan. 8 when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed over that building and several other armories statewide. The governor essentially dedicated their use to the logical cities, counties or other entities in January, ordering a digitized inventory of excess state lands that can be used on a short-term basis to shelter the homeless — with one provision: that such usage does not delay affordable housing development, according to the governor’s executive order. The city of Placerville has been eyeing the Armory site for its potentiality to accommodate affordable housing, but City Manager Cleve Morris this week told the Mountain Democrat that process is in very early stages. He added that City Hall is not in possession of anything from the state indicating Placerville now owns the Armory. “If it was signed over, we have nothing official saying that,” Morris said. “It has been noted that the Armory site could be used for homeless facilities, but as far as what that facility would be, that has not been determined. “We have been working with the county to look at (the old Armory site) as an affordable housing site but may consider it for some sort of transitional housing. “Nothing has been decided yet.” The Town Hall crowd also learned that a site on Perks Court, just off Missouri Flat Road, is being looked at regarding its potential for accommodating a homeless shelter but that its proximity to residential areas likely would make that process more onerous than pursuing the Armory site. And the old county Juvenile Hall on Fair Lane in Placerville, which also has been subject to examining for housing the homeless, is on a back burner after a letter was received from the state Judicial Council reminding local officials of a “compatibility use clause” regarding an adjacent state Superior Court. Dept. 8, located just below the hall, that handles juvenile matters and other court dealings, such as probate and estate matters. Sunday’s event featured a video that showed what could be the future of the Armory site (should it be determined the old building isn’t capable of

restoration as a shelter and that the site should accommodate the homeless), an organized village of sheds placed on land in Yuba County where the homeless are housed as they seek positive change. El Dorado County Supervisor John Hidahl, who with other local officials recently toured the 14 Forward compound in Marysville, spoke to the crowd about that experimental program, where, he said, “in two months time” 307 homeless camps became a community of hope. “They (Yuba County officials) picked a location, built partnerships and suddenly everybody ‘got it,’” Hidahl told the Town Hall audience. “They brought all the available services forward to help the homeless, many of whom were lifelong residents of the county, people they had gone to school with.” Hidahl said he was impressed with 14 Forward, with the job training and skills offered, the chance to deal with substance abuse problems, “the chance to get back their lives.” He said Yuba County reported the program thus far has resulted in 53 of the 213 homeless served there being able to attain permanent housing and employment. The El Dorado County supervisor said the village of storage sheds also gave the homeless residents “a sense of community,” something that he indicated is lacking without such programs in place. One man at Sunday’s event expressed doubt, however, pointing out that the sheds are not served by electrical power and that a sense of community springs up whenever and wherever the homeless are allowed to pitch their tents. With accessibility to food, clothing and services including job training and substance abuse intervention, the tents are preferable, in his opinion, he said. “I fail to see how the Tuff Sheds with no power are any better than an encampment,” said the man, who left Town Hall shortly after speaking. “They probably have fewer creature comforts than if they were in a tent. It would be better to simply furnish the amenities. And a society will spring up, anywhere you have an encampment enclosed.” The speaker could have been referring to Hangtown Haven, an organized campground that with city sanction operated along Broadway from 2012 to 2014 before being shut down. It was considered a great success, but concerns from neighbors and others that it actually was attracting out-of-town homeless to the area instead of serving only the local needy led to the city not renewing its approval. Hidahl stressed his enthusiasm for the organized effort in Yuba County, saying the assessing of needs and services offered by 14 Forward is superior. He added that Marysville officials at first put a 30-day cap on the amount of time the homeless could stay in the sheds but changed that to six months. He also urged the crowd to stay abreast of what El Dorado County is doing regarding the homeless, suggesting going to edokcoc.org (El Dorado County Opportunity Knocks continuum of care) to learn the latest. He said a mid-April meeting is planned to discuss the “two key sites” for a homeless shelter, the Armory and Perks Court. Another county official, Health and Human Services Director Don Semon, told the Town Hall group that he realizes there is a need for a thorough, public accounting of the grants and other funding that has been forthcoming to El Dorado County recently to aid in dealing with problems presented by the homeless. The money, totaling in the millions of dollars, will be broken down as to what has been, and will be, spent and on what specific items, Semon assured the crowd.

Continued from A3

and 33 (51.6%) voting yes. The measure would have implemented an annual $500 special tax on each parcel of real property within the zone, an increase from the current $300 tax. The additional funds would have gone toward road and maintenance services. Measure M did not pass with a total of 1,668 (48.9%) votes for the measure and 1,741 (51%) against. The measure would have implemented a special $80 tax on improved parcels and replace

the existing $20 parcel tax in the South Shore Snow Removal Zone of Benefit. Revenue from the measure was planned to be used toward acquiring snow removal equipment.

Statewide measure There was one statewide measure on the ballot. Called California Proposition 13, the School and College Facilities Bond, the measure would have authorized $15 billion in general obligation bonds

for school and college facilities, including $9 billion for preschool and K-12 schools, $4 billion for universities and $2 billion for community colleges. That measure failed both locally and statewide. In El Dorado County the measure was voted down by 50,322 (70.9%) voters and approved by 20,652 (29.1%) voters. Statewide, as of March 10, it is losing by a slimmer margin with 3.8 million (54%) voting no and 3.2 million (46%) voting yes.

Lunch Time CASA Kids Box Lunch set to satisfy April 2

• Orders due by March 17 Pat Lakey Staff writer

hen you bite into that delectable sandwich wrap this year, courtesy of the Court Appointed Special Advocates Kids Box Lunch fundraiser, you might find yourself thinking of the sea. CASA volunteers don’t merely sit alongside frightened, intimidated children thrust by circumstances into local courtrooms and provide a sense of protection and safety as matters are handled by the attorneys and judge. They do that, certainly — but CASA volunteers also have been known to take a kid for their first glimpse of the ocean — ever — to help youth living in troubled homes do simple tasks like making sure homework is done, to be a shoulder to lean on whenever life throws its darts of despair toward a youngster. That’s what the organizers of this year’s 24th annual CASA Box Lunch fundraising

Democrat file photo by Pat Dollins

Delicious wraps are on the CASA menu again this year. Above, volunteer Krissie Heym helps on the lunch assembly line during a previous lunch packing event. effort hope you’ll remember: Yes, the trained volunteers are crucial to help children get through legal matters when family life disintegrates — but they are also a friendly face providing a little hope that the world just might work out OK. “I feel that ‘being a child’s voice’ in the courtroom doesn’t really go to the core of what we do, because it’s so much more than that,” said Amber McDermott, a CASA volunteer who for four years has

worked on the box lunch program, one of CASA’s main fundraising efforts. This year’s CASA Kids Box Lunch is dedicated to the late Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Riley, whose vision and unstoppable driving force resulted in Court Appointed Special Advocates organizing in El Dorado County in the 1990s. The judge, inspired after attending a conference where CASA’s goals and successes were featured, died late last year at the age of 89.

The words of a former foster child who was helped by the local CASA are included on the flier for the 24th annual box lunch event, with “Sarah” saying the following about her particular advocate: “She was always at court, she always made sure I was OK in school. It was her constant support and check-ins that made me feel like I had someone on my side. “It’s hard to describe, but you don’t get that when you are a foster

kid. There are too many of us.” McDermott, who recounted the “firstglimpse-of-the-ocean” anecdote, expanded on what she wishes the public to understand about CASA volunteers. “We are somedays a sounding board, others a nice distraction to their reality and some days, we help with reunification (of the family). Yes, we do give a child a voice in the courtroom process but the bonds, trust and relationship tools (to be used) into adulthood I feel are so much more important.” What’s important, too, is just what you will be purchasing when you pay your $13.50 for this year’s box lunch, which comes in a reusable, insulated bag. Choose from one of three wraps: turkey, veggie or ham, with each selection crammed with a garden of ingredients, along with cream cheese or Swiss or cheddar, and seasoned with just the right touch of dressing. Chips, a cookie and apple juice complete the hearty meal, which should make your heart n

Cajun music takes over the Harris Center Friday Carrera Productions News release

wo of the finest roots music fiddle players on the planet — Michael Doucet and Tom Rigney — join forces once again for another incredible night of music March 13 in Folsom. Backed by Rigney’s hot band, Flambeau, the show will feature material from their critically acclaimed CD “Cajun Fandango.” The disc received a Best of Beat nomination as Best Cajun Album of 2016 and was named one of the 50 best Louisiana albums by Offbeat Magazine. Doucet has been the premier cajun fiddle player of the past several decades. Originally from Lafayette, La., he has led his band, Beausoleil, for more than 40 years (winning two Grammys along the way) and has taken cajun music out of Louisiana and put it on

the stages of the world. He has preserved the music of his culture and expanded its horizons. Rigney has, over the past several decades, become one of the premier blues and roots music violinists in the world. After 15 years at the helm of the Swamp Rock band The Sundogs, he put together his current band in 2000 — Tom Rigney and Flambeau — and has toured and recorded extensively ever since. High-energy, virtuosic playing and his commanding stage presence are hallmarks of Rigney’s performing style. This is the third installment of Cajun Night at Harris Center for the Arts.

I always look forward to February. The holidays have come and gone and there are a few precious weeks before spring is in full swing. That leaves me time to research some topics that I didn’t have time for the year prior. One of the requests by my family, especially my son-in-law, is to make beef jerky. To be truthful I was a bit intimidated to try and preserve a meat product at home, but it turns out making beef jerky at home is quite easy. It is also much less expensive than buying it in the store at $7.99 a package. And with the number of people doing Keto diets this would be a great snack item. Some of the best cuts to try are London Broil and top or bottom round. You can ask the butcher to slice your meat ¼-inch thick which will save you time. If you need to slice it at home just put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior. This will help you to get the thinnest slices possible. Uniform slices will dehydrate more evenly and prevent case hardening, which can lead to some spots that are hard on the outside but still raw on the inside. Case hardening can also occur if you try to dehydrate at a higher temperature than recommended. Once you have your meat you can marinate before processing or dip meat in a boiling marinate mixture or not marinade it at all. The most important thing to remember is that the meat must be brought to 160 degrees either before dehydrating or afterwards in order to kill any pathogens in the meat. Since we are dealing with meat here are a few cleanliness tips and safety precautions. Bacteria can spread through a work area and contaminate equipment and work surfaces. To reduce your risk of foodborne illness: • Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before beginning to work, after changing tasks, and after doing anything that could contaminate your hands, such as sneezing or using the bathroom.

• Start with clean equipment and clean it thoroughly after using it. Be sure all surfaces that come into contact with meat and other jerky ingredients are clean. • Sanitize surfaces with a solution of 1 tablespoon of chlorine bleach per gallon of water. Allow to air dry. • If using frozen meat, thaw it on a tray in a refrigerator (at 40 degrees F or below) on the lowest shelf to prevent juices from dripping on ready-toeat foods. Never thaw meat on the kitchen counter. • Use refrigerated ground meat within two days or whole red meats within three to five days. • Keep raw meat separate from other foods. • Marinate raw meat in the refrigerator. In this recipe you will heat your meat to 160 degrees F in a boiling marinade and then place your strips of meat in the dehydrator. If you choose to heat your jerky after it has been dehydrated you will need to put it in an oven preheated to 275 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Marinated jerky 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of lean meat such as beef, pork or venison 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon hickory smoke-flavored salt Partially freeze meat to be made into jerky so it will be easier to slice. 1. Cut partially frozen meat into long slices no more than ¼-inch thick. For tender jerky, cut the meat at right angles to the long muscles of the meat (across the grain). Remove as much visible fat as possible to help prevent off flavors. 2. Prepare 2 to 3 cups of marinade of your choice in a large sauce pan. 3. Bring the marinade to a full rolling boil over n

Thelma White’s carousel horses are beautifully detailed. See then up close at the Gallery at 48 Natoma.

n SPEED BUMP by Dave Coverly

Continued from B1

Savage began making carousels and invented the mechanism that makes carousel horses go up and down like they are galloping. There is something about carousels that captures the imagination. When astride your fantasy animal, you become part of an incredible adventure. You are the princess of the realm. You are the knight upon a fiery steed, out to rescue the world. You are a member of the Swiss Family Robinson, high atop a racing ostrich. You are riding a hare into a fantasy world of your own imagination. And if you caught one of the brass rings that dangled tantalizingly near as you rode, the next ride was free.

Gallery at 48 Natoma Folsom’s public art gallery on Natoma Street brings those memories to life once more as it opens a new exhibit March 20, simply titled Carousel. In the spirit of those who rode the merry-go-rounds of yore, the gallery grabs the brass ring for visitors because admission to this remarkable regional gallery is always free. This exhibit features spectacular photography of carousels from all over the world by Jim Berger and fantastic carousel horse sculptures by Thelma White, who resides in our own Gold Country.

Jim Berger Berger uses his artistic gifts in the realm of photo editing and special effects. His body of work captures everything from the texture of a wild mustang’s mane to the sense of history in a forgotten memory, whether in a pioneer town or a busy urban market. The results are magical. This is his first exhibit of carousel work. Beyond capturing the details of an intricately carved carousel creature, he manages to capture the magical emotion of the moment. A worldwide traveler, Berger sought out unusual and historical examples of carousels for this project. One of these is the oldest carousel in the U.S., The Flying Horses. Built in 1876, this carousel is housed in a nondescript building on Martha’s Vineyard. The horses on this rare seaside carousel are not attached to the floor but are suspended from above. When the platform turned the horses (and their passengers) swung out. An actual horse powered the carousel since this

ride predates electrically powered systems.

Thelma White Taking the time to pursue what you love is an apt way to regard the remarkable art of local artist White. A lifetime lover of carousels, she studied and took photos of working rides for many years. After retiring from a traditional career in the Bay Area in the early 2000s, she moved to the Sierra foothills where she could pursue her passion in earnest. Not many retirees choose to take classes from a master woodcarver so they can learn the art of carving carousel animals. In this exhibit White’s ephemeral works are featured. Each uses a complicated process that involves building up layers of carefully cut card stock to create each carousel horse. Embellishments with found objects (beads, buttons, small trinkets) add to the magical effect. The completed animal is sealed in a shadow box frame that accommodates the artwork’s nearly 2-inch depth. The detail and spirit of the genuine article are there, in a much more manageable size for display in traditional homes. It is a satisfying result for White, who spends at least 50 hours creating each work. In addition to the works of Berger and White, an interesting collection of merry-go-round memorabilia will be on display. The young and the young at heart will enjoy this exhibit. Consider that. It’s why our grandparents rode the seated swan benches on the merry-goround when we were little. A carousel brings out the spirit of the imagination for everyone.

Artist reception The public is invited to a free opening reception on Friday, March 20 from 6-8 p.m. Stroll through the exhibit as you enjoy refreshments, wine and live jazz saxophone music by Jerry Fairlee. The Carousel exhibit opens March 20 and runs through April 30. The Gallery at 48 Natoma is in the Folsom Civic Center on Natoma Street, between City Hall and the Folsom Police Station.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis n TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). One thing you often provide without even thinking about it is reassurance. It’s in the way you calmly respond -- a head nod, an encouraging word -- as though you believe in the other person’s ultimate capability. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The sort of plans you’ll be making today will only work out if they have a date attached to them. Sixty days is a magic number. Figure out what you might be able to do in that amount of time, and declare that as the aim. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you prepare to present your work, don’t forget to prepare a defense of it, too. It’s an exercise that will strengthen your position. When you’re ready to fight for your cause, you probably won’t have to. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The muses will speak to you -- a gift from the mystic beyond. Of course this is not quite enough to make things happen in your world. It’s the start of something, a zephyr for your sail, and now you must steer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re a creator. You make things -deals, scenes of life, expressions of your stance and of your feelings, and other things. Hold yourself to a high standard of originality, and then give yourself credit for that. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People around you are making decisions against their best interest. Since it is not technically your job to advise or educate them, if you are to assert yourself into the scenario, you must go diplomatically. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are a few different aspects of the work you’ll be doing today. Success comes from

focusing on the most mundane side of it: the craft, not the art, the cleanup and organization. This will keep you grounded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Smooth stones, storm clouds, the softness of an animal’s fur, the smell of damp earth... these are the sorts of observances that will involve you, lift you and send you far from the workaday world. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are different things you need to do to get situated at different points in your life. You’re not where you used to be. You have yet to give conscious awareness to some of your requirements. It’s time to make the new list. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone has flaws, and all have the option of focusing there. To attract more opportunity and create possibility for achievement, focus instead on your strengths and talents. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How can you possibly feel heard if you’re not in feeling range? Receptivity requires your message to land close to the ear, or the heart, as the case may be. Find out what the barriers are so you can bring them down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People’s attachments to things keep them from being completely honest. If you want the truth, ask someone who has nothing to gain and nothing to lose.

“Elvin Bishop has always been big fun and is the ringmaster in his own blues circus. With Willy Jordan and Bob Welsh, Bishop whomps out tough, muscular and rollicking boogieinfused blues.” — No Depression Bishop formed The Big Fun Trio in late 2015 with his friends Bob Welsh and Willy Jordan. After playing just a handful of live dates, the group’s instantly crowd-pleasing music and undeniable chemistry took the blues world by storm. With the release of their self-titled CD in 2017, media and fan response was immediate and overwhelming. DownBeat celebrated Bishop’s “verbal hijinks, outstanding guitar work and country boy friendliness.” OffBeat reported The Big Fun Trio was “intricate, funky and uplifting,” declaring them, “consistently great.” With its top-shelf musicianship and frontporch vibe, the album earned a Grammy nomination and won Blues Music Awards for Album of the Year and Song of the Year (for the title track) from The Blues Foundation. The Big Fun Trio quickly discovered the more they played live, the more fun they had making music together. So a follow-up recording was an easy decision. The new album, "Something Smells Funky 'Round Here," finds the group fearlessly laying it all on the line. “With a trio there’s no place to hide — you’ve got to be pourin’ everything you got right out front," Bishop said. "You need to be totally into it all the time. It’s really cool to see how people react to the goin’-

Lunch

for-it feel of the music.” With "Something Smells Funky 'Round Here" Bishop’s Big Fun Trio is clearly having a very good time. Having spent almost three years performing, these three tremendously talented musicians continue to inspire each other to new heights. As Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio takes its music back on the road, fans will once again have a chance to experience the big fun first hand.

Castro rocks “Castro’s aggressive, inspired attack on vocals and guitar is phenomenal.” — Washington Post Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Castro has released 15 albums ranging from hornfueled soul and R&B to piping hot blues to fiery rock ‘n’ roll. He’s performed all over the world, earning countless fans with his legendary, sweatdrenched, exhilarating live shows. The Painkillers — bassist Randy McDonald, drummer Bowen Brown and keyboardist Michael Emerson — have now been playing together over four years. After hundreds of live shows, they have coalesced into one of the telepathically tightest units Castro has ever assembled, making them one of the most in-demand live roots music acts performing today. With the group firing on all cylinders, Castro knew the time was right to answer his fans’ demands for a live album. "Killin’ It Live" captures the band at the peak of their creative and improvisational powers and features one unforgettable, unpredictable performance after another. n

medium heat. Add a few meat strips, making sure they are covered by the marinade. Reheat to full boil. 4. Remove pan from range. Using tongs, remove strips from hot marinade (work quickly to prevent overcooking) and place in single, non-overlapping layers on drying racks. (Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the meat has been precooked.) Add more marinade if needed. 5. Dry at 140 to 150 degrees F in dehydrator, oven or smoker. Test for doneness by letting a piece cool. When cool, it should crack but not break when bent. The meat should not have any moist or underdone spots. 6. Refrigerate the jerky overnight in plastic freezer bags, then check again for doneness. If necessary, dry further. Soaking the strips in marinade before precooking is not advised because the marinade could become a source of bacteria. Putting unmarinated strips directly into the boiling marinade minimizes a cooked flavor and maintains the safety of the marinade. Yield: Dried meat will weigh less than half of the original weight. For example, five pounds of fresh meat should weigh approximately 2 pounds after drying or smoking.

“This is the best band we’ve ever had,” said Castro. "We really got something going on beyond just being good musicians. Every song we play live now has that right feel — all the dynamics. It allows us to jam out more on stage. 'Killin’ It Live' is what you hear when you see us live.” Featuring songs from throughout Castro’s career, "Killin’ It Live" was produced by Castro and engineer/songwriter Ron Alan Cohen and recorded at venues in Texas, New York, Michigan and California during 2018. The album includes eight Castro originals spanning his entire career and two Castro-ized covers, each showing a slightly different side of his multifaceted musical personality. Live on stage Tommy Castro & The Painkillers' road-hardened musicianship brings an unmatched passion to Castro's blue-eyed California soul and hard-rocking, good-time songs. Crest Theatre is located at 1013 K St. in Sacramento. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For tickets and more information call (916) 476-3356 or visit crestsacramento.com.

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 Association, 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 Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM for information, using the file number assigned to this case: 16-11831. 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.

Failure of the successful Bidder to meet this Contract requirement will result in the forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION: 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. 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.

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 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.
