Petition denied

Canal project OK, judge says Dawn Hodson Staff writer A stoned-faced audience listened intently Friday as lawyers for and against piping the El Dorado Canal responded to Superior Court Judge Dylan Sullivan’s tentative ruling in which she denied the petition of the Save the Canal group.

In rejecting Save the Canal’s petition, Judge Sullivan noted, “There was “... There was sufficient relevant substantial information evidence and reasonable inferences from supporting the information the EID that support finding of no the (El Dorado Irrigation significant District Board impact.” of Directors’) conclusion — Dylan Sullivan, that there was Superior Court judge no significant indirect impact caused by the project where the portions of the ditch that will become unused revert back to the landowners ... In other words, there was substantial evidence supporting the EID finding of no significant impact. The petition is denied.”

Behind the dispute are EID’s plans to convert the historic Upper Main Ditch in Pollock Pines from an open canal that conveys water from Forebay Reservoir to the Reservoir One Water Treatment Plant into a piped system.

EID maintains the project is necessary to reduce water loss from seepage and evapotranspiration, to protect the quality of drinking water and reduce operating costs from increased treatment and pumping costs.

Storm knocks out power for thousands

Pat Lakey Staff writer

Dawn Hodson Staff writer Recent storms have resulted in power outages throughout El Dorado County.

This is a particular hardship on residents right now as many are confined to their homes due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

Wednesday afternoon 8,066 PG&E customers in El Dorado County were affected, according to Brandi Merlo, PG&E’s marketing and communication contact for El Dorado County.

By Thursday morning 6,053 customers in the county were still affected.

While power outages were reported almost everywhere in the county, as of press time on Thursday, 2,575 customers in Pollock Pines remained with out power, 887 in Placerville, 817 in Camino, 427 in Georgetown, 448 in Kyburz and 226 in Somerset.

Merlo said the power outages were due to the recent three-day storm that damaged PG&E equipment with snow bringing down trees and limiting crew access to facilities.

Aside from El Dorado County, other areas and customers affected were 1,426 in Nevada County, 1,262 in Placer County, 766 in Sierra County, 458 in Amador County, 2,163 in Calaveras County and 470 in Tuolumne County.

While Merlo declined to say when power would be restored, she said 150 crews were working in the six-county area and “were working as quickly and safely as possible.”

A request filed by the Wopumnes tribe that once applied for permission to operate a firehouse museum and other “Their historical preservation amenities in the two structures that comprise Old City Hall (known as the ketchup and mustard buildings) — but lost that bid to Arts and Culture El Dorado — already has cost the city of Placerville $5,000 and promises to send the tab even higher.

County calls on dine-in restaurants, bars to close Dylan Svoboda Staff writer El Dorado County has joined California in urging restaurants and bars to close until further notice amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The closure recommendation, coming from the county Environmental Management Department, is the first to come at the local government level.

“We’re at a critical point in addressing the spread of COVID-19 in El Dorado County, and as a result, I strongly recommend retail food, beverage and other related services in El Dorado County close to the public for in-person dining

“Taking these actions, while challenging for business and inconvenient for the public, should contribute to the overall positive health impact on all of our residents and visitors.”

The county advised food service restaurants to limit themselves to take-out and delivery services only.

Breweries, bars, wineries and pubs should to stay open only for the sale of bottled and canned goods and consumed off-premises, county officials stated.

Pamela Jo Fleitman

June 17, 1942 – March 4, 2020

Pamela Jo Fleitman (Pam) passed away bravely and peacefully at home in Placerville after a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Born in Minneapolis, Minn., she migrated to Southern California in her early 20s, eventually moving north to Coloma and later to Placerville.

Pam was a true woman of the 1960s in that she was independent, creative, caring and assertive.

She is survived by her daughter Robyn, her brother Richard and her half-sister Sandy. Pam was preceded in death by her sister Sara Lee. In 1980 Pam began her work with the El Dorado Superior Court, first as jury commissioner and later as a judicial assistant to the Hon. Charles Fogarty.

Throughout her career Pam was a well-known figure in our legal community and was widely appreciated by our judges, attorneys and her many colleagues. She possessed talent, personality and an unfailing sense of humor. Pam stayed with the courts for 30 years, retiring in 2009.

Pam had a wide tapestry of interests. A private person by nature, she loved music, the arts, her animals and most importantly, her friends. She was always available as a source of support and assurance, protecting her friends with the same fierce loyalty they returned to her. Pam was also a very spiritual person. While staying close to her Jewish roots, Pam was open to all beliefs, convinced that love was a power greater than death.

At her end of life Pam was shown wonderful care.

The family would like to extend special appreciation to Hospice, Susan and Charles, Gail, Sherry, Nancy, Jody, Carol, Mary and Rosalie.

For those who loved her, Pam will forever be in our hearts. – GFH

Jeff Suss stands next to his home where a large oak tree lays on top of his roof above his bedroom after a storm knocked down a tree at 1 a.m. March 16.

Downed tree comes dangerously close Thomas Frey Staff writer When Placerville residents Ann and Jeff Suss went to sleep Sunday they had no idea their world would be rocked.

Early Monday morning around 1 a.m., with trees swirling in the wind and snow falling steadily, an oak tree the height of a three-story building came down in three different directions over their house.

One part of the tree crashed and moved a gazebo with branches screeching to a halt about a foot away from the Suss’s kitchen window, the other crashed into a bed of snow, while the third awoke Ann and Jeff immediately when a crash hit the top of the roof above their master

A large oak tree sitting on top of the roof above the bedroom of Jeff and Ann Suss. bedroom, directly above their head. But the roof held strong and didn’t let the massive tree that Ann estimated to be at least 100-years-old through.

If the tree had broken through the roof, Ann feared the worst, “We’d probably be dead. I believe in my heart that it’s a miracle. I know

God was protecting us.”

Ann joked that their home, which sits on Chrome Ridge Road, now has a perfect view of Camino that before was blocked by that oak.

But it’s a tree that Ann loved.

On a more serious note, she said she has a new, profound thankfulness for life.

PG&E won’t cut service during COVID-19 threat Dawn Hodson Staff writer

PG&E is voluntarily implementing a moratorium on service disconnections for non-payment, effective immediately, to ease financial pressure customers may be experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This suspension applies to both residential and commercial customers and will remain in effect until further notice, according to a March 12 press release from the utility.

To further support customers who may be impacted by the pandemic, PG&E will offer its most flexible pay plans to customers who indicate either an impact or hardship. PG&E will continue to monitor current events and identify opportunities to support our customers and communities.

In addition to the moratorium on service shut-offs, PG&E is instructing employees who have direct customer contact to take social distancing precautionary measures, such as avoiding handshakes and wearing disposable nitrile gloves while in customers’ homes.

Customers who visit local offices to

pay bills and are sick or experiencing symptoms are being asked to use other payment options such as paying online or by phone at (877) 704-8470.

“We recognize this is a rapidly changing situation and an uncertain time for many of our customers,” said Chief Customer Officer and Senior Vice President Laurie Giammona in the press release.

“Our most important responsibility is the health and safety of our customers and employees. We also want to provide some relief from the stress and financial challenges many are facing during this worldwide, public health crisis. We understand that many of our customers may experience a personal financial strain due to the slowdown in the economy related to the pandemic.”

Internally, the company is taking advanced cleaning measures, communicating best practices frequently with employees and is asking its leaders to let employees work remotely if their job allows, while avoiding critical business disruption.

PG&E does not expect any disruption in gas or electric service due to the public health crisis.

California State Parks campgrounds and indoor facilities close temporarily Kevin Christensen Staff writer California State Parks has announced the temporary closure of its campgrounds as of Wednesday, March 18, in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The news comes on the heels of State Parks also shutting down high public-use indoor facilities such as visitor centers, museums and cafes as of March 13.

As a result popular El Dorado County visitor destinations like the Gold Discovery Museum at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park is closed.

Non-campground outdoor areas of

Camping reservation holders will be contacted via email for refunds.

In a post to their Facebook page Wednesday, State Parks officials remind people that “time in the outdoors can lead to a number of overall health and wellness benefits like lessening anxiety, boosting creativity and getting vitamin D.” For more information visit parks. ca.gov.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California Matters

Vice President Kamala Harris?

T

he high point — or low point — of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris’ campaign for president occurred last June during a multicandidate debate when she lashed out at former Vice President Joe Biden on racial justice.

“I do not believe Dan Walters you are a racist, and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground,” Harris told Biden. “But I also believe … it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”

Biden immediately defended himself: “It’s a mischaracterization of my position across the board.

I did not praise racists. That is not true, No. 1. No. 2, if we want to have this campaign litigated on who supports civil rights and whether I did or not, I’m happy to do that.”

The exchanges continued in that vein for some minutes. At the time, Harris was considered to be in the top tier of Democratic presidential candidates while Biden was struggling a bit. Eight months later Harris is out of the running and Biden is now the frontrunner for the nomination.

A few days after the California primary Harris endorsed Biden via Twitter, saying, “Joe Biden has served our country with dignity and we need him now more than ever. I will do everything in my power to help elect him the next president of the United States.”

Harris’ late-blooming endorsement was widely seen as an application to become Biden’s running mate, the conventional political wisdom being that he would want either a woman or someone of color on his ticket. Biden quickly listed her as a vice presidential possibility, along with others, and the two campaigned together in Michigan.

Let’s assume, just for grins, that Harris is not only tapped to become Biden’s running mate, but that they win next November, creating a U.S. Senate vacancy that Gov. Gavin Newsom is empowered to fill.

Would Newsom want to fill it himself? A Biden victory, even without Harris, would block Newsom from running for the White House himself in 2024, midway through his second gubernatorial term. If Harris becomes vice president, Newsom could keep his future presidential hopes alive by resigning and being appointed to the Senate by Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis as she became governor.

Should Newsom forego that opportunity, he still would have a much-coveted Senate seat to fill and there would be no shortage of potential appointees.

Kounalakis is one possibility and Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Secretary of State Alex Padilla and Congressman Adam Schiff, who managed the impeachment of Donald Trump, are among the others.

Another factor plays into what could be a game of political musical chairs — Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s intentions. n

Letters to the Editor Our beloved leader EDITOR: he coronavirus — first, it was a Democratic and media hoax and Fox news backed up our beloved leader ... a hoax to take down Trump. So simple, as explained by Trump and the Trumpsters.

But, wait, what now?

Now Trump is telling us that he always knew it was a pandemic. So strange, didn’t I see and hear him and Fox news talk hoax, hoax, hoax. So it has gone from hoax to a lot of us are not going to survive — the current message from our beloved leader. Suddenly Trump voters have serious skin in the game. Welcome to this real-life game.

Think about it.

Helping the homeless should be a priority EDITOR: n reading your article titled “Homeless rousted along Broadway” (Mountain Democrat, Jan. 31), it is easy to get tangled up in opposing solutions to help our homeless citizens.

Those who are advocates for helping citizens who are without homes often quote Christ’s words, “What you do for the least of mine you do for me,” when criticizing the police for their tactics or wringing their hands over the plight of those without homes in our community. But all these arguments miss the main point of what’s going on in our city and county for the homeless men and women who live in our streets and in our mountains.

We need to step back and ask ourselves, “Do the city and county officials really want to help our neighbors who have no decent place to live?”

As you may remember, Hangtown Haven Inc., together with the Placerville City Council, designed, built and operated a very successful homeless shelter on Upper Broadway that gave an average of 45 otherwise homeless men and women a safe and clean place to live. The residents had water,

I

electricity, toilets, a safe fire, a communal gathering place and a TV to watch as well as tents in which to sleep and store their goods. However, in December 2013 the City Council voted unanimously to close down Hangtown Haven and forced the residents into the wilderness, the results of which we now see every day.

Community Haven Inc. has given both the county and city a standing offer to build and operate a homeless shelter to transitional housing facility at no cost to the taxpayer. All we ask is for a government body to lease us one of their unused properties and give us a special use permit that allows us to operate on the property.

No one has taken us up on that offer yet. When Don Vanderkar or I have made presentations to the City Council all we saw were icy stares and stonecold silence.

We are a republic and our representatives on the boards and councils of our cities and counties should reflect our views and priorities.

It’s important to attend those meetings and voice our concerns and then vote for people who will do something courageous to help our neighbors without homes.

An excellent example of this is El Dorado County Supervisor John Hidahl, who has worked hard to help us create affordable housing in Diamond Springs and is working to define and implement approaches to help the homeless find purpose in life. He demonstrates what people can do to help the less fortunate in our community. If we had more like him, we would probably not be seeing the headlines in the paper about the homeless being rousted.

ART EDWARDS Placerville

Adding to the homeless problem EDITOR: hose of us living in the hinterland are welcoming to new neighbors, usually city folks. Locals, having lived here their entire lives, have carved out an independent lifestyle.

The Not So Weekly Daley

Sheltering in place and likely getting some refunds

S

heltering in place sounds a lot friendlier than selfquarantine or the even worse sounding “isolation.”

As of Tuesday we are in the third day of the governor-imposed SIP for senior citizens and other at-risk folk — not Chris bad so far. I’ve stocked up on food and drink and we ordered three days of meals from Blue Apron (which we do once or twice a month anyway).

Not seeing the need, I didn’t load up on toilet paper. In fact, I traded a package of toilet paper with a guy for two bottles of wine at a local grocery store. (Full disclosure: I didn’t really, but the cashier got a good laugh when I told her that’s why I had the wine but no toilet paper.)

I don’t have hobbies per se, although we did buy a jigsaw puzzle of the world a couple weeks ago. It’s still in the box. So I’m kind of at loose

ends as to how to spend my time in confinement.

Usually I go to the gym six or even seven days a week. I drove by on Monday and saw that it looked completely deserted — no lights on as far as I could tell.

There’s enough news on TV to satisfy even a hard-core newshound Daley like me. Sometimes it’s even too much for me though — such as when I hear something for the 16th time that really didn’t warrant any more than two reprises.

The cable channels are champions of that particular art. You can pretty much count on hearing the president say he would “give himself a 10 for his handling of the coronavirus crisis so far” at least four times an hour on the big cable stations.

You can also count on hearing at least three reporters ask Dr. Fauci, “How long will this last?” or “Is it better to be in a crowd of 10 than in a

crowd of 50?” I’m assuming that you now know who Dr. Anthony Fauci is.

He’s getting the reputation as the guy who speaks truth to power during White House press conferences.

I get that reporters need to have something to report. But asking for an answer to “When will this end?” is pretty nonsensical. Dr. Fauci should start answering, “It will end Thursday at noon.” They’d get the hint after a time or two.

Fortunately, I got my instructions for completing the census in the mail Monday afternoon. It asks us to do it online, so I’ll look forward to working on that over the next few days. I haven’t ventured to the census website yet. I’m delaying that gratification until after my nap.

Another thing to look forward to is rescheduling our appointment at the Senior Legal Services office. The county had to cancel last Monday’s visit due to snow. It’s just to sign a couple of documents related to putting the new house into the family trust. But it seems like a significant reason to have a small-scale escape.

We booked a Rick Steves “Best of Rome” week-long tour in early May. First time we’ve ever planned an organized tour and now it’s looking pretty unlikely to happen. Although we had to make a hefty deposit five or six weeks ago, we delayed paying the full balance on the trip.

We’re waiting for updates on whether the company cancels and refunds our $800 soon. They’ve canceled all European tours scheduled to start on or before April 30 so an early May trip is almost out of the question now, I’m sure.

Likewise for our one-way, fairly cheap tickets from San Francisco to Rome on Norwegian Airlines. We have to wait for them to cancel before we get our money back, as I understand the fine print.

I have two dozen or more books I bought from the Friends of the Library shelf waiting to be opened.

Maybe I’ll get to one while I’m SIPping later tonight. Imagine a smiley face here.

Pioneer fire dept. honors locals with awards for public service and bravery Dawn Hodson Staff writer Three exemplary residents were honored by directors of the Pioneer Fire Protection District at its board of directors meeting March 10.

Phill Dayton was given the Pioneer Fire Protection District Service Award for his 13 years of public service to the Pioneer Fire Protection District. Dayton’s public service includes being a volunteer firefighter as well as a former member of the Pioneer Fire Protection District Board of Directors.

Also receiving awards were Stephanie and Hazel Beck, who received the Pioneer Fire Protection District Civilian Award for Bravery.

The award dates back to an incident that took place Dec. 1, 2019, when Stephanie and Hazel came upon a motor vehicle accident in which a vehicle caught fire.

The two women removed the driver from the vehicle and provided first aid until emergency personnel arrived. By that time the vehicle was fully engulfed in fire.

Stephanie and Hazel’s selfless act of bravery resulted in the driver being saved.

EID staff on the job to ensure safe water service Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado Irrigation District is taking measures to keep staff healthy and in the meantime, water treatment protocol there would eradicate any such virus anyway.

But a healthy staff is essential to operations.

“Given the critical public health and safety role we serve in the community, EID has instituted workplace management actions to help protect the women and men who work hard to ensure our water and wastewater services remain safe and reliable during these challenging times,” said EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie.

Those actions include keeping meetings to a minimum, employing social distancing to lessen people’s chance of exposure, reinforcing internally the health precautions recommended by the county health department such as frequent hand washing, providing more sanitizers in

system that instantly kills all viruses. Chlorine levels are monitored throughout the system to ensure that the water stays safe on its way to people’s homes.

EID water quality personnel continuously monitor water supplies and treated water, conducting approximately 2,600 bacteriological laboratory tests each year from more than 25 sampling locations.

View a summary of the most recent tests results in EID’s annual water quality report at eid.org/our-services/water/waterquality-report.

Recycled water used for irrigation is also disinfected with methods to deactivate pathogens, including coronavirus. Following pretreatment, primary and secondary treatment, cleaned wastewater is disinfected with ultraviolet light. Disinfection kills or inactivates any pathogens that might remain in the water following secondary treatment.

Following disinfection, chlorine is added to recycled water to ensure it remains pathogen-free until its use for irrigation.

The agency still plans to hold its regularly scheduled board meeting March 23 but has canceled the public workshop scheduled for that evening and may instead conduct the meeting online.

In a press release issued Wednesday, EID officials emphasized its drinking water meets or exceeds stringent state and federal drinking water requirements and its water treatment facilities are designed to eliminate pathogens, including viruses and bacteria.

In particular, the Environmental Protection Agency has noted that the “COVID-19 is a type of virus that is particularly susceptible to disinfection and standard treatment and disinfectant processes are expected to be effective.”

There is an ongoing culture clash with some new neighbors and pot growers. With change comes scrutiny by Code Enforcement. Rules for the Hardship Code have been encumbered with new regulations. The Hardship Code is in dire need of clarification and simplification. The county is systematically creating a new wave of homeless people who can’t meet the requirements.

In light of the current homeless crisis the county should reform and accommodate varied forms of housing, i.e., tiny houses, park model vehicles, etc.

Although clearly reluctant to do so, Feinstein ran for and won another six-year Senate term in 2018.

It’s highly likely that she will retire rather than run again in 2024 and if Newsom isn’t already in the Senate by then as Harris’ successor, he might be tempted to seek Feinstein’s seat, especially if Biden or another Democrat is sitting in the White House.

This is all pure speculation, of course. But it pays to look ahead.

to extend the closure of all public El Dorado County schools through the district’s upcoming spring break, which is scheduled to end April 17,” reads Wednesday’s notice issued by EDCOE. The notice asks that students and families “follow the county public health officer’s directive to stay home and minimize social contact to the extent possible.”

While observing health guidelines, cafeteria staff are still serving a community need, offering meals every weekday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Receiving a meal is simple, just drive into the bus loop at El Dorado High School and pull up to pop-up tents.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doing nothing is one of the hardest things for your active sign, especially this time of year. But if you can manage it, 20 minutes of nothingness will set you up for hours of productivity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll learn what you want to know and you then, because you’re responsible and smart, you’ll also learn what you didn’t want to know.

This is the knowledge you’ll need to delegate like a boss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). “Forgive many things in others, nothing in yourself,” suggested the poet Ausonius.

The ancient world was harsh! These days, you’ll do better to extend the same kindness inward and outward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Confidence is gained by taking risks. It’s the only route really. Pretending to be confident will usually lead to taking the actual risk necessary to achieve confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be a thought leader today, whether you want to be or not. The responsibility is something to consider before you make a move. “What if everybody did the same thing?” is a relevant question.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It doesn’t matter if it takes a week or a year to read a book, involving yourself in the world between book covers is one of the best things you could possibly do for your inner experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What if you believed that the well was never dry? In some ways, this is true. There’s a time to budget and a time not to worry so much about

it. A scarcity mentality won’t serve you today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). New ventures, new chaos.

Excitement and disorder are inextricably linked. And if you want another way to think about it, maybe it’s not “disorder” so much as an “extra order” we just don’t understand yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The endeavor that appeals to you will be the one in which you are able to radiate your personal style. If you cannot add who you are to what you do, it will not seem worth doing at all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your experience will be ever-enhanced by sharing. It’s a way to live in the past and the present simultaneously. You’ll forward what you love and enjoy the enthusiasm that ripples back to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As for those negative thoughts that serve no one, the first step is to be aware you’re having them. Many people tune out the din as one would tune out the traffic noises from a freeway next to home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The way a dog sees it, your hands are absolutely magical. They can open doors and manage packaging and are basically the conduits to another world. To feel wonder, take another point of view.

Sierra-at-Tahoe suspends mountain operations Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Sierra-atTahoe has indefinitely suspended operations for the season to try and help control the spread of coronavirus.

Sierra-at-Tahoe originally suspended operations for 72 hours but made the announcement to possibly shut down for the year Tuesday afternoon.

The company will consider reopening Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado, Heavenly Mountain Resort and Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia in late April or early May, depending on the situation with COVID-19 as well as the weather.

Closings

community, EID’s environmental impact report on the project came with several alternatives. In April of last year the water district’s board of directors approved what was called the Blair Road Alternative in which a 3-mile section of the canal would be piped.

Members of Save the Canal were challenging approval of the project and certification of the project’s EIR by the El Dorado Irrigation District’s (EID) board of directors.

Rejecting EID’s argument in court, Marsha Burch, Save the Canal’s attorney, challenged the project on a number of grounds including that the need for the project is misstated. The EIR for the project was faulted for inadequately responding to comments from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and omitting crucial facts such as the extent of environmental impacts.

Those impacts allegedly

would affect biological resources in the area. A brief also claimed the EIR failed to analyze how removing water from the ditch might increase risk of wildfire or affect drainage in the area and that the historic value of the ditch had not been adequately assessed.

In response, EID’s attorney Kelley Taber maintained that Burch’s argument that there was no need for the project was inadequate because it was “not supported by citations to legal authority ... and failed to discuss the evidence favorable to EID.” Taber argued that Burch failed to provide other evidence favorable to EID regarding the biological and drainage impacts as well as aesthetic, recreation and historical/cultural impacts of the project.

As far as wildfire impacts, Taber claimed that Burch “failed to fully and fairly lay out the evidence favorable to EID related to the wildfire impact findings by arguing the draft

EIR dismisses the issue without a real analysis ... and therefore, the court should consider petitioner’s (Burch’s) arguments related to the fire impact analysis waived.”

In the discussion between the two lawyers, Taber and Burch debated the finer points of the reliability of studies done by and for EID, the part the 150-year-old ditch has played in the history of the area, jurisdictional issues between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Army Corps of Engineers, how thorough was the EIR in assessing the impact of the project to the area’s riparian areas and the question of who would be responsible for maintaining the open area of the ditch once other areas were piped.

Burch said there was no reason to assume that homeowners would maintain the ditch in order to avoid it becoming so clogged with debris that it

would no longer serve its current function of conveying stormwater away from homes adjacent to the canal. In that case, Burch argued EID could be liable for flood damage.

As she listened to the arguments, Judge Sullivan noted that she has staff members who remember swimming in the canal as kids and she understood it was an important issue and a task she didn’t take lightly. At the same time she said she recognized the need for change.

Asked by Burch to reread all the staff reports, Sullivan promised a final decision would be issued in two weeks.

and food trucks are permitted to remain open, but only with stringent health and hygiene practices.

On Sunday, Newsom called for the closure of all bars, breweries, wineries and pubs. The next day, he added dine-in restaurants to the list of recommendations.

Nearby counties have taken the fight against COIVD-19 a step further. Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties have each implemented a full “shelter in place” mandate, which limits travel and activities to essential needs with varying exemptions for health, food, work and

exercise.

Williams doubled down on her forecast of future cases in El Dorado County in her plea for compliance.

“We don’t have a confirmed case of the virus yet, and I stress the word ‘yet,’ but I join other state and regional public health experts in the belief that taking these steps, along with the social distancing actions prescribed by federal and state officials, will be important steps to take to slow the rate of transmission,” she said.

“I strongly encourage business owners and the public at large to take these actions immediately.”

it was not an easy one to make as we deeply considered the extended impact it will have on our guests, employees and communities,” said Rob Katz, chairman and chief executive officer of Vail Resorts in the release. “While it is incredibly disappointing for our company to mark the end of the season so early, we know it is the most responsible

path forward.”

According to the release, guests can process refunds and credits on pre-purchased lift tickets, lodging, ski and ride school, equipment rentals and more, subject to applicable terms and conditions, using an online form that will be available later today on the company’s resort websites.

SLT native meritoriously advanced aboard oldest commissioned warship AO2 Jennifer Jordan USS Constitution Public Affairs BOSTON — South Lake Tahoe native, Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Joshua Samoluk, was meritoriously advanced to the rank of second class petty officer aboard USS Constitution, March 12.

The Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) allows U.S. Navy commands to promote their highest performing Sailors immediately in recognition of their superior performance.

“This was such a surprise and I am enthused that all my hard work has been noticed and is paying off,” said Samoluk.

Samoluk is a 2011 graduate of South Lake Tahoe High School.

He has served in the Navy for five years, and his previous command was the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6).

Duty aboard USS Constitution is

one of the Navy’s special programs, and all prospective crewmembers must meet a high standard of sustained excellence and interview to be selected for the assignment.

The active-duty Sailors stationed aboard USS Constitution provide free tours and offer public visitation to more than 600,000 people each year as they support the ship’s mission of promoting the Navy’s history, maritime heritage, and raising awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence.

USS Constitution, is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, and played a crucial role in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, actively defending sea lanes from 1797 to 1855.

USS Constitution was undefeated in battle and captured 33 opponents.

The ship earned the nickname of Old Ironsides during the war of 1812 after British cannonballs were seen bouncing off the ship’s wooden hull.

Local students make the list — names on KU honor roll News release LAWRENCE, Kan. — More than 6,100 undergraduate students at the University of Kansas earned honor roll distinction for the fall 2019 semester.

The students, from KU’s Lawrence and Edwards campuses and the schools of Health Professions and Nursing in Kansas City, Kansas, represent 84 of 105 Kansas counties, 46 other states and territories and 43 other countries.

The honor roll comprises undergraduates who meet requirements in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and in the schools of Architecture &

Harris Center

Design; Business; Education; Engineering; Health Professions; Journalism; Music; Nursing; Pharmacy; and Social Welfare. Honor roll criteria vary among the university’s academic units. Some schools honor the top 10 percent of students enrolled, some establish a minimum grade-point average and others raise the minimum GPA for each year students are in school. Students must complete a minimum number of credit hours to be considered for the honor roll.

El Dorado County students making the honor roll are Chris Hubbard, El Dorado Hills, school of business; and Jody Smith, Shingle Springs, school of social welfare.

For Director Dave Pier more information patrons should visit harriscenter.net/events/cancelled-events, which includes a list of affected events and an indication of the status of refunds updated daily. A second webpage, harriscenter.net/visit/coronavirus, has more information about the center’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Many have asked about how they can support the Harris Center through this trying time; donations are always welcome at harriscenter.net/donate.

The Harris Center is larger than the building itself.

“The Harris Center works closely with national and international artists and touring companies to bring their artistry to the capital region,” said Pier, “The financial hardships resulting from this pandemic could well be devastating to them.

Likewise, our many regional community partners like El Dorado Musical Theatre, Folsom Lake Symphony, Folsom Concert Association, Carrera Productions, SBL Entertainment — the list is too long to mention in its entirety — are all going to feel the disruptive impact of the pandemic and I encourage you to support each of them however you can.

“We all share this labor of love, of bringing people together under one roof to experience the power of performance on a given evening upon a given stage,” Pier continued. “The arts cannot shelter in place; normally we are actively engaged in doing the exact opposite of that. But shelter in place is what we all must do now and I’m counting the hours until that time when we can swing open our doors again and do what we do best. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.”

The Harris Center was not alone in canceling performances early in the pandemic. Performing arts programs at University of California, Berkeley’s Cal Performances, University of California, Los Angeles’ Center for the Art of Performance, Pepperdine University, Scripps College, University of California, San Diego, University of California, Santa Barbara, the Mondavi Center at University of California, Davis have similarly canceled performances in response to COVID-19.

“As many of our artists are currently on national or international tours, their travel plans are tied to appearances at venues across the country and around the world. A change in one leg of a tour often disrupts the entire tour. Given this, we are in regular communication with their representatives.

We expect to have more information on a show-by-show basis that may result in further postponements or cancelations in this season,” said Pier. “Where possible, we are working with artists to reschedule their appearances in future seasons.”

Stewart reprise his most famous role in “Star Trek: Picard.” Still, a lot of people like the shows and if you are a fan of the franchise or sci-fi this is a great deal to stream all episodes and cancel when you are done.

For the cinephile in the household the Criterion Channel launched last year and it’s one of my favorite streaming services. Just like the DVD/Blu-Ray Criterion Collection that’s been lovingly remastering and releasing films for the last several years, the Criterion Channel offers classics and discoveries from around the world, programmed with special features and unique weekly filmmaker spotlights. I highly recommend it for $10.99 a month. Heck, a physical copy of just one Criterion Blu-ray would set you back $29.99 alone, so this service is an excellent deal.

Free Let’s start with a little bit of culture and turn on some theater and opera.

The Metropolitan Opera will host “Nightly Met Opera Streams” on its official website in an attempt to continue providing opera to its audience members. Every night the Met will offer a different, complete operatic gem from its collection of HD presentations from the past 14 years. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. EST and will be available to stream for 20 hours. This weekend’s schedule will feature timeless classics such as Donizetti’s “La Fille du Régiment,” Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” and Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin.”

In the art world, Paris Musées, a collection of 14 museums in Paris, have recently made high-res digital copies of 100,000 artworks

Semi-free Some of these will be contingent on whether you have a Netflix or Disney+ account, which it looks like most have one or the other (or both). If you don’t already subscribe to these streaming services Netflix offers a 30 day (!) free trial while Disney+ offers a 7-day trial to get your feet wet.

Besides the thousands of movies and full seasons of quality television Netflix offers, a free Google Chrome extension called “Netflix party” allows users to remotely watch Netflix together. The extension synchronizes the video playback and has a sidebar for group chats that allows you to simultaneously stream Netflix with friends. It has a play/pauses for everyone in the group so you stay synced. Maybe a few of us should get a “Buttered and Salty” Netflix Party

Universal Studios has decided to release its latest “Trolls” movie straight to video on demand since most theaters are now closed. group set up.

Disney+ is bringing its heavy hitters to the COVID-19 crisis by now streaming “Frozen II” on the service.

The film is still in select theaters and wasn’t due for Disney+ release until summer so you can run around the house singing your favorite Idina Menzel tune if it isn’t already superglued to your brain.

CBS All Access is a good option for streaming some of your favorite shows at a cost of about $5.99 a month.

Though after all the television shows Netflix and Hulu supply you with the only real draw for me are the new “Star Trek” shows — “Discovery” and “Picard” — running on the service.

While both have things to like about them I think the tone of both shows is a bit dark and cynical, even with the added bonus of seeing Sir Patrick

Not free Based on the last couple of weeks of movie delays and from what I am hearing, all theatrical releases for the next five to six months will be delayed until fall or 2021. That’s a bummer, but the studios are already stepping up to make some of these movies available at home immediately.

Universal is breaking the theatrical window and releasing the excellent “The Invisible Man” (* * * ½) to video on demand weeks after it opened in theaters as well as “Trolls World Tour,” which was due April 10. The films will be available for a 48-hour rental period at a suggested retail price of $19.99 Warner Bros. will make “Birds of Prey,” a spinoff of 2017’s “Suicide Squad,” available for digital purchase as well March 24, earlier than its anticipated VOD release.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758 - 8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 012366CA. 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.

by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $117,450.09 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 086469-CA. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit the Internet Web site, using the file number assigned to this case 19-006696. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. www.homesearch.com 800758-8052 Or Aztec Foreclosure Corporation (877) 257-0717 www.aztectrustee.com DATE: 2/28/2020 AZTEC FORECLOSURE CORPORATION Amy Connolly Assistant Secretary / Assistant Vice President Aztec Foreclosure Corporation 3636 N.

DISADVANTAGED 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).

In accordance with 49 CFR 26, 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.

PREVAIlING WAGE REQUIREMENTS: In accordance with the provisions of California labor Code Sections 1770 et seq., including but not limited to Sections 1773, 1773.1, 1773.2, 1773.6, and 1773.7, the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done has been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations.

Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 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.

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: 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.

Buttered

Continued from B4

Expect many more mid-level Hollywood movies to follow suit in the coming weeks, as Hollywood grapples with the effects of the crisis on its industry.

I expect the big event films (the new James Bond, “Top Gun: Maverick”) to continue to postpone but the rest will probably hit a VOD window like the films mentioned above. If these quick video-on-demand release windows for new films work well, I expect a very different world of theatrical distribution once we get out of this. It’s going to hit movie theaters hard.

I don’t mean to be overly dramatic, but I get the sense that things are going to look pretty different for a lot of us on the other side of this, for better and

for worse. My hope is that we all stay as safe and as healthy as possible and be a little kinder and more patient with each other — in the real world and the social media one.

Be prudent, use common sense and appreciate each other as we go through this. See you at the (home) theater.
