City Council holds meeting … with no public in sight Pat Lakey Staff writer In what portends a glimpse of the future — Tuesday evening Town Hall was barren of chairs where the public normally sits during Placerville City Council meetings and one of the council member’s disembodied voices was “piped in” as Patty Borelli participated in the proceedings, speaking from her home because she is older than 65.

Absent, too, was City “How long Attorney John Driscoll but he does the virus was available stay (viable) in by phone to effluent? We have address any legal concerns concerns …” that might — Placerville City Manager crop up as Cleve Morris talking about the council city sewer plant workers essentially addressed what the coronavirus pandemic has done to the town. Driscoll is also an age that puts him at more risk than other, younger people, health officials have warned. Many employers in both the public and private sectors have told their older employees to either work from home or take some time off as COVID-19 exacts its toll.

Three El Dorado County residents have contracted the virus and one of them actually was in this county when stricken, according to health officials. The other two were not; both reportedly suffered mild cases and have since fully recovered.

The third and most recently reported case, contracted locally, resulted from an as yet unknown source, health officials said. No word on the degree of severity of that case has been reported.

Placerville City Manager Cleve Morris last week declared a citywide state of emergency and just a few short hours later that Thursday, El Dorado County officials announced they were mandating the formerly cautionary order for residents to stay at home for all but “essential” purposes.

Enforcement of that order has been nebulous, however, and that matter was addressed during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. No arrests nor citations have been issued for being outside and county Sheriff John D’Agostini has said that likely won’t occur, that he feels residents are reacting responsibly already to the health n

A lesson on flushables

Wipes, paper towels causing sewer backups Dawn Hodson Staff writer The California State Water Resource Control Board is urging the public to not flush disinfecting wipes or paper towels down the toilet.

“Flushing wipes, paper towels and similar products down the toilets will clog sewers and cause backups and overflows at wastewater treatments facilities, creating an additional public health risk in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic,” according to a press release from the board.

South Lake Tahoe Public Utilities

Department has experienced issues with a clogged valve at Upper Truckee Sewer.

“We are seeing an increase in the number of disposable wipes in our wastewater system,” said Chris Stanley, manager of field operations.

“These wipes clog up our system and are the main cause of sewer spills.

During this pandemic, we need our crews’ focused on providing safe, clean drinking water and reliable wastewater services, instead of responding to an easily preventable sewer spill.”

El Dorado Irrigation District is also reminding customers not to

flush anything down the toilet except bodily waste and toilet paper.

“If it’s not toilet paper, don’t flush it,” said EID Director of Operations Dan Corcoran. “Paper towels, tissues, cloths, rags, wash cloths, diapers and especially wipes advertised as ‘flushable’ are anything but and do significant harm to the sanitary sewer system. While they may flush, they do not break down and will inevitably clog the sewer system.

Please designate a separate sanitary container for any of these products and place them where they belong — n

South Lake Tahoe to crack down on vacation rentals n Police to enforce order with the

help of tips from the public Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — South Lake Tahoe City Council wants to crack down harder on vacation homeowners and renters during the coronavirus crisis but stopped short of passing a ban on vacation home/short-term rentals Wednesday during an emergency meeting.

Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order stopping non-essential travel, people were still vacationing in Lake Tahoe this past weekend.

With residents around Lake Tahoe concerned about the drain on resources and the possibility of

spreading the virus the city of South Lake Tahoe sent vacation homeowners letters asking them to adhere to the governor’s order but not all respected the request.

The city received clarification on El Dorado County’s stay-at-home mandate that states shortterm rentals should only be used for housing homeless, essential workers, COVID-19 mitigation or long-term housing.

Instead of passing its own ban, the city passed an order allowing it to more strictly enforce the county’s directive. It can give fines up to $1,000 (the largest fine allowed by city code) and can use these fines as strikes against homeowners to be considered when their permits expire.

Interim Police Chief Shannon Laney said officers are regularly patrolling the rental properties and are relying on tips from the public to crack down.

If you care, we care!

The city will also track rental websites and make sure homeowners are not accepting reservations until after April, when the lockdown may be lifted.

While the city can’t crack down on people who are sheltering in their second homes, Councilmember Devin Middlebrook would like to highly discourage people from doing so as it is a drain on city resources.

The council also discussed a moratorium on commercial evictions. City Attorney Heather Stroud said Gov. Newsom is expected to put a statewide moratorium in place this week. The council decided to hold off on placing its own until the governor makes a decision.

Council has agreed to meet weekly, so if by next week, the Governor has not taken action, they will re-address the issue. In the meantime, n

Barbara earned her master’s degree in English literature at Sacramento State and went on to teach advanced English classes in Placerville with her dear friend Barbara McKinstry. Her most notable accomplishments however were in the artistic career she developed after studying with James Estey and Heidi Wilson among other local artists.

She was actively involved in the art community before losing her eyesight and relocating to Elk Grove in 2004.

After moving to Elk Grove she was cared for by her daughter Dana and a large group of loving family and friends who brought joy to her life in a variety of ways.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.

In the meantime, if you are inspired to do so, please donate to Snowline Hospice (SnowlineHospice. org) in her memory. The team at Snowline provided invaluable support to Barbara and Dana in the past six months.

Blessed is the woman whose story is long and filled with love. Sara was preceded in death by husband, Clark Oliver, who together had built a family business which was the foundation they raised their family on. She loved her eight children and spouses; 23 grandchildren and spouses; 30 great-grandchildren plus one on the way, and one great-great-grandchild. Sara especially enjoyed annual trips to her Michigan roots, attending Johannesburg High School class reunions, and spending time with her brothers, sisters, family and friends, which was pure joy for her. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Ludwig Carl Kraushar

July 15, 1927-March 15, 2020

Ludwig “Louie” Carl Kraushar, born to Amalia Litzenberger and Jacob Carl Kraushar in Waubun, Minn., passed away peacefully in his Cameron Park home Sunday evening, surrounded by loving family.

He was a dear and devoted husband and best friend to his wife, Katherine Leona (Brady), for over 71 happy years; a dedicated, caring father to his son, Ronald “Ronnie” Carl and wife Carol (Longmeier); and daughter, Constance “Connie” Marie Rightmer; an outstanding grandpa to Nash Lynn Rightmer, Travis Carl Kraushar, Jordan Benedict Kraushar and Daniel Joseph Ziolkowski.

He is survived by his sister, Margaret “Muggie” La Roche of Roseville, many much loved nieces and nephews, and seven predeceased siblings; Katherine Boyers, Betty Pollock, Elsie Howard, Jean Heslep, Frederick, John and James Kraushar. Louie’s life was full of adventure and travel both on the road and in the air as a private pilot. With his precious partner Kathy by his side, (using their ever-lasting “Loukat” moniker), they traveled in their many RV rigs, enjoying the landscape of this beautiful country for which he was so proud and loyal, and his sister country Canada, visiting relatives and developing many special long-lasting friendships.

He loved his Lord, his church, their communities and served many years in their service. He served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Alabama.

He worked many years at Crystal Creamery, then became a successful Farmers Insurance Agent. He collected classic cars, built and remodeled many homes, spent hours flying the club-owned Cessna, enjoyed building model planes and ships, and adored spending quality time and inspiring his admiring grandsons who loved him immensely and learned so much from. He was a kind and generous man, a professional hugger, a true character, indelible to those who knew him. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. Services will be delayed due to the current serious health crisis. The family wishes to thank Snowline Hospice for their tender care during Louie’s final days. Donations can be made in Louie’s memory to Snowline Hospice, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, CA 95619, the American Legion, Light of the Hills Lutheran Church in Cameron Park, or the charity of your choice.

El Dorado Transit administrators have been monitoring COVID-19 since the initial outbreak weeks ago and is in communication with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California Department of Public Health and El Dorado County Health and Human Services.

James said they have seen a 50% decrease in ridership on local bus routes that run through Placerville, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills and all the way to Folsom. He added that transit ridership slumped by 75% on commuter routes that travel into Sacramento. “It’s dropped off a lot on our commuter routes because a majority of the riders are state workers and currently mandated to work from home,� James said.

El Dorado Transit officials’ said their goal is to continue to regularly operate local scheduled service (except for special program services that have been suspended due to closures) as many customers depend on El Dorado Transit for medical appointments and essential travel in the area.

Placerville resident and El Dorado Transit bus driver Cheryl Netherda said she and other drivers are taking the COVID-19 threat seriously and prioritizing cleaning protocol. “Everyone is wiping the high contact areas regularly because the health crisis is something we want to see end as soon as possible,� Netherda said. “We want to do our part.�

hroughout California, local government and school officials have been stunned by voters’ reluctance this month to approve new taxes and bonds.

The California Taxpayers Association has reported that more Dan Walters than half of the local measures appeared to fail on March 3, although some may squeak through when all votes are tallied.

One of the casualties appears to be San Diego’s Measure C, backed by Mayor Kevin Faulconer and local business and labor interests, which would have boosted hotel taxes for expansion of the city’s convention center, curbing homelessness and street repairs.

As of last week, Measure C had about 65% of San Diegans’ votes, a clear majority but shy of the twothirds margin California law and San Diego’s city attorney say are required, thus folding it into a legal conflict that’s been simmering for the past three years.

State law says “special purpose” taxes, which Measure C clearly is, must have two-thirds approval by voters. But three years ago the state Supreme Court cast doubt on that principle in upholding the basic right of voters to impose taxes via the initiative process.

Writing the 5-2 majority opinion, Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar declared, “Multiple provisions of the state Constitution explicitly constrain the power of local governments to raise taxes. But we will not lightly apply such restrictions on local governments to voter initiatives.”

He thus implied that special purpose taxes placed on the ballot by voters via initiative may not be affected by the two-thirds vote requirement, but was not explicit, touching off a running legal battle.

Since then, some special tax measures failing to receive two-thirds votes have been validated by local judges, citing Cuéllar’s opinion, but most have not.

An early test arose in two San Francisco tax measures, both placed on the ballot in 2018 via initiatives personally sponsored by members of the city’s Board of Supervisors, one for early childhood education and the other to battle homelessness.

Both received less than two-thirds votes, but a local judge, Ethan Schulman, validated them anyway.

However, Fresno Superior Court Judge Kimberly Gaab went the other way on a sales tax measure to improve city parks. The tax hike received just 52.2% of the votes and when its sponsors sued to have it declared a winner, Gaab wrote, “The two-thirds vote requirement applies to all special tax proposals, regardless of the proponent of the proposal.”

Her interpretation was echoed by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Ronni MacLaren as she declared a 2018 Oakland parcel tax for education a failure with 62% of the votes.

“Allowing Measure AA to be enacted with less than two-thirds of the votes would constitute a n

Letters to the Editor Break every chain EDITOR: ast week I learned of a healing technique I had never heard of before. A friend told me to watch a short video by Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of “The Emotion Code.”

His thesis is that we humans are mainly energetic beings rather than just physical beings. He further states that events that affect our emotions strongly leave lasting emotions trapped within us that continually cause us to react in ways that are harmful. This propensity to over-react affects our physical health as well as our relationships.

Dr. Nelson’s thesis ties in with the thoughts of another doctor I follow on the internet, Dr. Leonard Coldwell. When Dr. Coldwell sees a new cancer patient he first asks them, “Why do you have cancer?” His new patients always answer, “I don’t know.” Dr. Coldwell replies, “Yes you do.”

After self-investigating a few minutes, the new patient recalls an event that caused a strong negative emotion such as a severe injury, a divorce, loss of a job.

Dr. Coldwell explains that these persistent thoughts of anguish can lead a person to conclude subconsciously, “I don’t want to continue living this way.” This type of thought leads to all kinds of illnesses and sometimes cancer.

Another author with insight into trapped emotions is Dr. Rebecca Brown. Her fourth book, “Unbroken Curses,” explains how sometimes we can inherit trapped emotions from the past.

All three of these investigators realize the power of the subconscious mind to affect our conscious behavior. We often sabotage ourselves by yielding to hidden negative emotions.

See internet videos by Dr. Bradley Nelson to discover how to break every chain of harmful negative emotions.

The big con EDITOR: am astounded to see young people wearing Che Guevara T-shirts. In the words of Daniel Mitchell, “These kids are either overtly evil or utterly oblivious.”

Is it because they were taught history with the book by Howard Zinn — history completely distorted with lies about capitalism and deceptive aggrandizement of socialism/communism?

Che Guevara was not a “liberator of the common folk.” He was a murderous thug.

Democratic-socialism is an oxymoron. First of all, the only time socialism will be democratic is when the people vote it in. From then on democracy is dead. Socialism, contrary to its sound, is an autocratic political dictatorship. Dictators gain power by promising the masses everything for nothing.

In common parlance that’s called a “con game.”

And poverty of the masses becomes the “default position.”

Poverty is the lack of wealth and productive capacity of individuals. Countries have devolved into poverty (e.g. Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina) because the government decided that they could do a better job spending other people’s money. If we really want to see poor nations prosper we need to find a way to eliminate corrupt dictators and socialist parasites. (Does anyone on the political horizon come to mind?)

Those nations with generalized prosperity are those which embrace some form of capitalism — thriving markets based on voluntary commerce.

People, listen with both ears to the ridiculous promises of Biden, Sanders, Warren, AOC and the rest of the “cons.” Remember the Bill Green Rule — “If it sounds too good to be true, it’s too good to be true.”

Crying for our country EDITOR: was going to edit this to update it, but feel it is best left the way it was written nearly three years ago. Things have changed for the worse since I wrote this: This morning I was taken to feeling a sadness that came from tearing each other apart. Our problem is more than just a Donald Trump or any others in political office. It is just plain ignorance — from all sides.

I am a self-admitted policy wonk and former political junkie. I had been at one time very involved in politics but was cured back in the mid-’70s by what I could see was that freight train coming down the tracks, looking to run over those in the center as well as that which was good in politics and leaving nothing behind but crushed hopes.

Left behind were entrenched political vultures on either side of that track.

That train also took away trust and civility. It fed ideology and killed hope and compromise. It began

W

e booked a cruise last April.

We paid for it and all the excursions, as well as hotel and show reservations in New York City at the tail end of the cruise. And then it was canceled.

We had already planned to cancel after Wendy watching ship after ship become floating petri dishes and happy cruisers become unhappy quarantine victims. I wasn’t worried about getting the coronavirus; I just didn’t want to be holed up in a hotel room at Travis for two weeks like a witness hiding from a mob hit.

The other two couples we were going with decided they would not cancel, scoffing at media hype.

The news reported that those who had died from the virus were “elderly” and “had under-lying health conditions.” How old was elderly, anyway? What kind of health conditions? There are lots of health conditions. After many days I saw

it, right there on the 60-inch screen in front of me: Elderly finally had an age attached to it and it wasn’t the 80 or 90 I’d assumed. It was 60+. Holy cats, Bob and I were … elderly. We’d gotten used to being “seniors,” which we pretended was sort of like upper-classmen, but schultz “elderly?”

Our friends canceled after realizing that they were also elderly and that they had no choice.

Then they decided they would go to New York and Washington, D.C., to see the sights. Broadway went dark, tourist attractions closed, the National Basketball Association suspended the rest of the season. Forrest Gump was in quarantine. Disneyland closed — Disneyland! Our friends canceled everything.

I watched as our president started out describing the virus situations in political rallies as a hoax dreamed up by the Democrats and the media; watched as he told the American

It was the first time I saw him act presidential, although, in the first press conference he did say that U.S. citizens had gotten the virus from the European Union who had not done an adequate job of containing it.

He didn’t say anything about China during that press conference although he did tweet later about the “Chinese flu.”

scare.

No mandate from the Placerville Police Department has been made publicly known but city leaders are concerned, on more than one level.

“The police officers dealing with the public — we are working on some protocols there, for police … the last thing we want is to have officers infected,” said City Manager Morris, who prefaced his comments by saying “how proud” he is of all city staff so far during the crisis.

Morris pointed out that workers at the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant may be more vulnerable to coronavirus infection, due to their environment.

“How long does the virus stay (viable) in effluent?” he asked rhetorically. “We have concerns and have been working them in split shifts” so a minimal number of employees would be present there, at the same time, he explained.

“We’re looking at some employees working from home,” the city manager continued, “where it makes sense (to do so). There are a few issues, like computers, that we need to work out.”

Morris added that the city’s budgetary process, which had just begun a couple of weeks ago when the coronavirus seemingly exploded into worldwide consciousness, also is impacted by the situation.

Because the resultant reaction has been one causing local businesses to close doors and many employees to lose paychecks, sales tax revenues on which any city heavily relies obviously will not be as high as what had been predicted, said Morris.

Telling the four council members present at Town Hall, and telling an audience including the fifth member of the panel viewing by live-stream at home, Morris said a budget hearing originally set for mid-April, along with an attendant goal-setting workshop, “have been set aside for now.”

“But staff is looking at what can be done with revenue down,” he said, adding that the city’s consulting firm HdL also has been tasked with massaging the original numbers in light of the reduction of funds.

Morris said he has told staff they likely will be asked to “expedite” the normal budget process, which involves each department putting forth its needs and hopes for the upcoming budget year and working with management and the City Council to reach agreement.

The city manager said having such meetings “remotely,” using technology to accomplish the task, is being examined but that “it makes it difficult to have the deep discussions we need for the budget.”

With the economic horizon filling with black clouds as the pandemic continues to virtually halt business dealings, Councilman Dennis Thomas said the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce “is gearing up to assist” with Small Business Administration loans and other mechanisms, adding that chamber CEO Laurel Brent-Bumb and her staff are working hard to help.

Thomas said he has reason to believe, too, that the state of California is going “to aid employees who are out of work.”

One of the newly unemployed, due to the coronavirus situation, is Councilwoman Kara Taylor, she told her colleagues Tuesday evening.

Councilmember Cody Bass wants the city to encourage landlords to be lenient on tenants.

The city also discussed leasing the recreation center to the Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless.

Members of the public spoke out against the idea, suggesting the homeless be housed in motels.

Mayor Jason Collin, who has been working with the coalition, said TCH is pursuing motel options but it might take a few weeks and they are in immediate need of additional space.

The council unanimously passed a motion for the city to continue negotiations with the coalition but recommended regular contract check-ins.

It doesn’t matter where COVID-19 started; what matters is that we are all in this together and our cooperation, flexibility and consideration for each other is what will get us through it.

fraud on the voters,” Judge MacLaren wrote, noting that “the ballot measures prepared by the city unambiguously advised voters that Measure AA would require two-thirds of the votes to pass.”

San Diego voters were told the same thing, but backers of Measure C may take its validity to court should it fall short in the final count.

“What’s very clear is that a large majority of San Diegans support priorities in Measure C,” Rachel Laing, a spokeswoman for the support coalition said in a statement. “In the coming days the coalition

“I soon will become unemployed and become a full-time home-school teacher,” said Taylor, who works at The Farm Table restaurant on Main Street in Placerville.

Taylor added that she hopes the public will stop “panic-buying” groceries and other goods, having spoken with local supermarket officials who have assured her “there is no shortage” of food except that caused by worried shoppers.

There was a bit of good news for one segment of the community during the ghost-town setting at Town Hall as the meeting wrapped up in less than two hours: Councilman Thomas said he has been meeting with advocates for the homeless and with Marshall Hospital and others about what to do should the coronavirus manifest in a transient individual, whose lifestyle is that of wandering and thus could spread the malady far and wide.

Because of the potential danger, Thomas said, the county’s Continuum of Care umbrella group just received a $230,000 grant to deal with the issue of homelessness and temporarily put the homeless up in local hotel rooms.

It is hoped, said Thomas, that such action will “limit the impact on our local medical system.”

Further details of how that effort would work, how the homeless will be located and given a paid-for room — and for how long — were not mentioned during the meeting.

No comments came from the public whatsoever, despite the fact that two breaks of five minutes each were taken to allow anyone to email City Clerk Regina O’Connell with questions and concerns.

No one took advantage of that format, O’Connell reported both times.

Mayor Michael Saragosa and City Manager Morris queried the council regarding how to conduct the next council meeting, set for April 14. It was decided that the entire meeting may be held remotely, with council members participating by computer only or “you could meet like this,” said Morris, referring to Tuesday’s setup.

By consensus it appeared that the same or similar format will be followed at the next meeting, with some thought given in the meantime to making public comment more user-friendly. And, said the mayor, the council members should remain flexible.

“In two weeks it (could) be a completely different situation.”

with the “new left,” which taught the far right how to organize and destroy those who dare disagree with you.

The far right was far more effective than the new left in using these tactics. At one point as they kept getting farther and farther toward the far-right side of the flat earth. I began to think of them as the “Flat Earth Right.”

They became “ditto heads,” lemmings who suspended all intelligent discourse or intelligent conversation and thought. No longer was it polite to just agree to disagree and then try to work together ... now it was war. Winning was everything and cost was no object.

That train had already run over those who were in the middle, center/left or center/right, those who were willing to work over their differences and compromise.

Anything that would try to grow in that middle was to be vilified, beaten down — not by logic or reason, but with constant abuse, dismissing them as weak-kneed compromisers. We have been educated to read and

write, but not to think and reason.

So, what is wrong with the U.S.? We have lost our way in understanding we are a diverse population that differs on many things. We have forgotten how to appreciate what we have. It is not that we are the richest country monetarily. We have forgotten how to appreciate those differences, to enjoy the richness that brings to our culture, one of the richest in diversity in the history of the world.

We shout at each other over those tracks with all the skeletons of the past littered in the middle. These were at one time our heroes — people who made this country great and believed “politics was the art of compromise.” You rarely got all of what you wanted, but you got what you needed.

I freely borrow from a book title that I read the year I graduated from high school, this morning “I Cry for Our Beloved Country.”

l Dorado County wineries made an excellent showing at the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, one of the most prestigious in the nation. The more than 175 medals included Gold, Double Gold and six Best of Class honors.

There were more than 65 judges, representing various North American wine regions, evaluating nearly 6,700 wines from more than 1,000 wineries for the 2020 competition. It is the largest competition of North American Wines.

“The response from the wineries of North America at our 2020 competition was outstanding.

Sweepstakes awards hail from Ohio, New Mexico and California,” Bob Fraser, SFCWC executive director said.

The El Dorado American Viticulture Area’s mountain vineyards range in elevation from 1,200 to more than 3,000 feet. Cool Sierra foothill breezes, along with volcanic and granitic soils, allow winemakers to craft an amazing collection of wines from more than 70 varietals. The medal count showcases the region’s diversity, with top honors going to a range of varietals, from marsanne, zinfandel, petit verdot, cinsault and pinot noir to sparkling wine.

1,000 wineries.

“We are, once again, thrilled by the results from this year’s competition.

This is yet another example the industry acknowledging the highquality wines being produced here in Amador Wine Country. We are truly California’s not-so-hidden gem of wine destinations,” said Jack Gorman, executive director of the Amador Vintners Association.

About the Amador wine region The historical Amador wine region traces its roots back to the Gold Rush of the 1850s as settlers came looking for gold in the California foothills. Many of the prospectors were immigrants from Europe and brought with them their love of wine. Vineyards were planted and wineries opened up to supply the thirst of the miners.

Some plantings from the Gold Rush continue to thrive in Amador County today.

The region is home to more than 50 wineries and over 3,700 acres of vineyards planted in rolling hillsides.

Long a home of amazing zinfandels that growers have planted and winemakers are now making wines through a diverse array of grapes including barbera, sangiovese and syrah in the reds and sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio and viognier in the whites, just to name a few.

The region has garnered acclaim for

full bodies, rich fruit flavors in its wines with balance and harmony that pair well with numerous foods and cuisines.

Award-winning restauranteurs and sommeliers are seeking wines from the Amador region to complement their menus and enhance their wine lists.

About Amador Vintners The Amador Vintners Association is a voluntary membership-based organization working with more than 40 extraordinary member wineries and tasting rooms in Amador County to showcase the region’s award-winning zinfandels, barberas and Rhone varietals.

Rich in wine history and heritage, Amador holds a special distinction to be one of the only wine-producing regions to be home to all family-owned wineries. The vintners host events and tastings throughout the year to invite guests to explore the region and learn more about Amador’s wine community and its history. To learn more visit amadorwine.com.

Elizabeth Ramin tackled the topic of healthcare in her award-winning essay.

ak Ridge High School junior Elizabeth Ramin finished third in the 15th annual Fred Winn Democratic Party Essay Contest for her essay “The Healthcare Divide.”

Elizabeth, who is also in the National Honor Society and a volunteer for Paws for a Cause, originally wrote this essay for extra credit. Out of the 56 entrants who wrote an essay about the most important issue to them in this election, Elizabeth said she was amazed she finished third to win $500. The students who were awarded first and second place each wrote about climate change, while Elizabeth tackled healthcare.

“I was shocked,” Elizabeth said. “I

didn’t think I would even get to place at all but I put a lot of work, effort and time into it. It’s an issue that is really personal to me.”

Both of her parents are in the healthcare industry — her dad is an emergency room doctor and her mother is a home health nurse.

Elizabeth broke her collarbone on Christmas Day when she was 10 and when she turned 15 she injured her foot. She said her parents took control of everything, making to make sure she saw a doctor and got X-rays, crutches and a medical boot. That stood as a great teaching moment, Elizabeth told the Mountain Democrat. When she had a lot of downtime in the hospital her father sat next to her in the lobby and n

comics

buttered and salty ‘Marc Maron: End Times Fun’ HH 1/2 R, 1 hour, 11 minutes Documentary, Comedy Stand-Up Now straming on Netflix arc Maron is a very funny writer/ comedian. He is also the luckiest man in the world when it comes to naming comedy specials, branding his “Marc Maron: End Times Fun” Netflix special well before our current COVID19 predicament.

Unfortunately that serendipity didn’t fully translate to the quality of the material.

Let’s be honest, the world is an upsidedown place these days.

One of the things that has brought me a bit of sanity in these troubling few weeks is that so many people have brought their best sense of humor to the proceedings. Facebook and Twitter, usually the cesspool of political anger and cultural outrage, has had some pretty clever and wonderfully inventive material posted on their platforms during this mass multi-continent quarantine. Of course there’s still plenty of bad apples on there, but the good outweighs the bad for the first time in what seems like forever.

Maybe the fact that we are all logged on at the same time helps.

We can see your bad behavior.

So comedy is the thing that is going to keep the heart sweet, to paraphrase Mark Twain.

To get the funny going, I decided to start with the most recent Netflix comedy special by Marc Maron that began streaming last week.

Maron has a fascinating story.

Breaking into the

M

Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent standup scene in 1987 with the help of friend and associate Sam Kinison, he adopted the lifestyle of the former comedy rock star of drugs and alcohol making him, for lack of a colorful metaphor that Maron would normally use to describe his conduct back then, not a very nice guy.

His journey to sobriety and the selfrevealing nature of his popular podcast is where Marc Maron is at his best and there isn’t much of either in “End Times Fun.” Granted, he waxes philosophical at the bizarre current state of events (preCOVID), but there is plenty of that out there in popular culture to digest. His piece on his relationship with his

B3

elderly mother is good, but it passes quickly.

If you agree with his politics (as Maron says, “If you are a Trump supporter, this isn’t your night”) you will find a lot to cling on to, but whether we like the current president or not there is also plenty of that type of material to find out in the ether.

While funny in parts, Maron’s brand of cultural observation and self-deprecating humor doesn’t pull the laughs a comedy special like this should. Perhaps he’s not self-revealing enough, which is when he’s at his best. Maron is likable and a pleasure to listen to in “End Times Fun” but there isn’t enough laugh-out-loud material to fill a whole hour plus.

It’s good, just not his best stuff.

Joshua B. Porter is a Writer/Director/ Producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube.

I

n lieu of WinterWonderGrass Tahoe — which was set to take place this weekend and has since been postponed to April 2021 with the original lineup in tact — the producers of WinterWonderGrass are excited to announce WWG TV, set to launch at 5 p.m. March 27. Viewers can tune into the livestream via the festival’s official Facebook page.

“We believe the strength of our community will shine through during this uncharted journey,” remarks festival founder Scotty Stoughton.

“Through the launch of WWG TV we want to promote social interaction amongst physical distancing within our community and beyond. Grab the people you’re quarantined with, pour yourself a beverage and enjoy this WWG community we’ve built from the comfort of your couch.”

WWG TV will livestream three, hourlong episodes over three consecutive

Fridays: March 27, April 3 and April 10. The first episode, which will release on the original kick-off date of WWG Tahoe 2020, is a tribute to the WWG Tahoe community dubbed “Tahoe — Come Together” and comprised of recent and archival footage by artists on original Tahoe 2020. The first episode will feature live performance footage from Billy Strings and Della Mae shot during their recent WWG Steamboat 2020 sets, plus archival footage from past WWG Tahoe stops with performances by The Infamous Stringdusters featuring special guest Sam Bush, the original Tram Jam from 2015 and a gorgeous, cinematic performance by Fruition at the summit of Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows.

A special “after-party” Q&A with Lindsay Lou will take place directly after the livestream via the festival’s official Facebook page.

Stay tuned for more information on the coming episodes via facebook.com/ winterwondergrassfestival.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). When was the last time you heard no one you had to answer to, saw no issue that needed solving, felt no pressure at all? It’s been a while.

Go where you can create the illusion of tranquility.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Social awkwardness can be blamed for 90% of today’s stress. Whatever you do to make interactions easy will improve the day for anyone within a 10-yard radius of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The exceptional work you do may be awarded in the future, but it’s the daily stuff that really deserves mention and yet may not get it for a while. Know your value.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The usual work you do may, unfortunately, go unmentioned. You know the quantity and scope of what you’ve done, and that gives you a private feeling of accomplishment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In sports and in life, people tend to root for the underdog. In business, not so much. When it comes to money, many need to have a confident feeling they’ll be getting theirs back. Use this concept to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be something to cut out, many things to organize and several things to align. All the magic comes from focusing in a particular direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Making other people change is hard and, ultimately, unsatisfying. Changing yourself

though -- that usually feels like soul sunshine. Start with small things. You’ll be surprised how they add up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The sun burns the sky, not because it’s angry but because things naturally combine in this way. Make a point to be around the people who won’t be offended by what you do naturally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you know something is better than the thing that other people are accepting, you feel it’s your duty to speak up, and you will speak up today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is a privilege that you can’t feel past a few years inside it. It’s not our fault that our brains get used to the status quo, although we might be able to feel better about things by simply repeating this: Life is a privilege.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What is truth? You’ll grapple with this today, as there are many ways to account for what happened and some of those ways include feeling your way through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve anticipated this moment. It’s probably nothing like what you thought it would be. But here you are, at this age in this time, and it’s the most interesting thing to witness.

The El Dorado County Fairgrounds closed for normal operations March 21.

Plans for this year’s El Dorado County County Fair — scheduled June 18-21 — are still in place. If the shelter-in-place directive or the governor’s stay-athome order are still in place mid-May, fair officials said they might postpone the fair to July 9-12.

Fair organizers are keeping informed with the ever-changing COVID-19 outbreak situation and are in touch with local authorities and the health department. According to fair officials, much of the data indicates the worst may pass by May. “4-H/FFA exhibitors are advised not to adjust their animal feeding schedules at this time. This is not a firm postponement, just an alternative for us all to keep in mind if things remain the same or worsen,” said fair officials in an email update sent out March 20.

‘The Healthcare Divide’

W

hen I was 10 years old, I broke my collarbone on Christmas Day. I still remember how vulnerable I felt, and how relieving it was that my parents seemed to be able to get everything I needed to help me recover. They took me to the hospital and I had X-Rays, got a sling, and took medication to help with the pain. All the while, I had the comfort of knowing that my mother is a nurse and my father is a doctor and that both of them would be able to help me through the process. However, at that age, I did not understand that their jobs were what was giving me healthcare, and just how that healthcare gave us the resources to deal with my injury.

When I was 15 years old, I injured my foot, and I was a mess. I was in great pain, and the only thing consoling me was how in control my parents seemed to be. Once again, my mom and dad helped me get through it, this time getting me a doctor, x-rays, crutches and a medical boot.

Everything I needed materialized.

With this second injury happening when I was older, my father took the opportunity to teach me about the healthcare system. With an injured foot and downtime in a hospital lobby, I was a captive audience. I began to understand that my needs were met at least in part because of health care insurance and access to medical care that my parents made sure we had through my father’s job.

Ramin

Being uninsured is not the only issue: there are still millions more who are underinsured and face grave financial hardships because of health care costs.

During a lengthy discussion about my treatment, I was shocked to find out that it costs our family $22,000 for just one year of medical insurance.

Since my mother and father both work in the healthcare industry, the politics of healthcare are often a subject of conversation at my house.

The conversations can get intense, and emotions run high. My father talks about how being an emergency medicine doctor is like being on the front line of the healthcare crisis. My mother talks about the difficult and often sad cases she sees as a home health nurse. She often cares for the elderly and she tells us of the difficult circumstances their families face paying for their healthcare needs.

Most of them find health care costs are rapidly depleting their life savings when they are old, retired and no longer able to earn income. Along with hearing about her patients, I hear how my grandparents face the same issue--a lack of funds to deal with the health problems they are having. It is difficult to hear how people I love are struggling with finances in their retirement years, and the greatest threats to their personal situation are the out of control expenses and unknowns of health care needs. These personal

experiences, as well as learning about the growing number of people uninsured and unable to manage their finances in the face of injury or illness, lead me to feel that healthcare is the most important issue to me in the 2020 election.

In 2018, 8.5% of Americans (27.5 million people) did not have health insurance at any point in the year.

In 2017, 25.6 million people did not have health insurance (US Census Bureau). This means that the number of uninsured people in the U.S. is growing. Being uninsured is not the only issue: there are still millions more who are underinsured and face grave financial hardships because of health care costs. Even with insurance, those people are unable to see doctors and receive treatments when needed, simply because they don’t have enough money to afford substantial healthcare or to pay for the treatments themselves.

How can we accept that? Former Vice President Hubert Humphrey once said that, “The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped”

(Humphrey). Considering how much we have grown as a country and all of the resources we have access to, it is immoral to not have a better system in place to provide medical care to those in greatest need of help. As a country, we have a duty to help those who cannot help themselves, and a better healthcare system is crucial in ensuring that we are fulfilling that duty.

In all of my research, one fundamental truth stands out: healthcare is not a privilege but a human right. Many politicians use similar words when they discuss access to healthcare, and at times, this statement sounds like a simplified catchy slogan. But as the 2020 election nears and I learn more about the issue, I have come to the conclusion that this statement is much more powerful and meaningful than any cliché. Nobody should feel hindered in getting the medical care they need. Nobody should fear that if they become ill or injured that they will have to fear being bankrupt as well. Nobody should have to decide between their health and other essential needs like housing and food.

The issue is complex, and there is much to consider and debate as the 2020 election approaches. However, one thing is clear: change needs to occur, so that all Americans, no matter their income, have access to the care they need without worrying about overwhelming healthcare costs.

Continued from B2

explained that not everybody has the privilege of healthcare. She said she couldn’t believe how much her family paid for healthcare.

It made her realize everyone should have healthcare.

Her research uncovered unsettling figures: in 2017 25.6 million people didn’t have health insurance in the United States. The next year that number rose to 27.5 million people.

Elizabeth said millions more people are turned away because they are underinsured or don’t have enough money to afford the healthcare they need.

In her essay Elizabeth quotes former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey (1965-69) during his 1976 speech at Madison Square Garden in New York City during the Democratic National Convention. He said the moral test of government is how government treats the children, the elderly

and the sick, needy and handicapped.

Elizabeth follows that quote by writing that since the United States has grown so much as a country in terms of resources, is “immoral to not have a better system in place to provide medical care to those in greatest need of hope.”

The Trojans junior doesn’t know where she wants to attend college, but said she knows she is interested in studying pre-law and political science.

She also knows she wants every American to have access to the healthcare they need without worrying about costs.

“Nobody should have to decide between their health and other essential needs like housing and food,” Elizabeth said. “Nobody should fear that if they become ill or injured that they will have to fear being bankrupt as well.”

Elizabeth said she has read about each presidential candidate’s beliefs and thoughts of healthcare and to see their different perspectives leading up to the November election.

She hears first-hand from her dad how working in the emergency room is like working on the front line of the healthcare crisis and she hears first-hand from her mom, who often works for the elderly, how difficult and sad it can be with healthcare costs eating away at them financially.

“Along with hearing about her patients,” Elizabeth said. “I hear how my grandparents face the same issue — a lack of funds to deal with the health problems they are having. It is difficult to hear how people I love are struggling with finances in their retirement years and the greatest threats to their personal situation are the out-of-control expenses and the unknowns of healthcare needs.”

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. 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. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Contract goal is 17%.

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. 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: 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.

Reference the Contract Documents package, which includes the Notice to Bidders, Plans, Specifications, Draft Agreement and Proposal for contractual requirements not listed in this “Notice to Contractors” newspaper advertisement.
