City takes reins on Main Street events Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer The city of Placerville’s Community Services Department will take the lead on seven events approved for Main Street in a change to how downtown events are managed and sponsored. “The main goal with the city as a sponsor is to have authority over the manner and participation of each event,” said Director of Community Services Terry Zeller at the March 22 City Council meeting. “And also ensure that events have continuity from year to year whether or not a co-sponsor is able to continue to

co-sponsor.” With the city of Placerville sponsoring each Main Street event the logistics will be the responsibility of city staff — providing liability insurance, labor to secure road closures, on-duty police officers and any other necessary labor to close and then re-open the thoroughfare before and after the event, according to Zeller. Co-sponsors will be expected to handle advertising of events, which would be reviewed by city staff. Set up, tear down, booking vendors, hiring operational staff and designation of operational staff would be the responsibility of the

co-sponsor as well. In February 2020 the City Council approved seven events that would necessitate Main Street closures. Staff was directed to bring back a draft agreement that would establish terms for co-sponsoring street closure events on Main Street. Councilwoman Patty Borelli asked for clarification on whether the approved list would be set in stone. City Manager Cleve Morris noted the approved list was not part of the vote before council members. “What we’re approving tonight is the agreement,” he said. He added that the El Dorado Winery Association’s Winederlust event was

County forms new Wildfire Resiliency Office Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County has created a Wildfire Resiliency Office, which will implement a countywide wildfire protection strategy. A wildfire resiliency and vegetation management working group, which was established in September 2021 to determine lessons learned from the Caldor Fire and to recommend fire-defense strategies, brought the concept to the county Board of Supervisors March 22 as a solution to help the county formulate a singular effort to perform fire-resiliency efforts. “Although there are many efforts going on in the county that are valuable, we really don’t have a single process for establishing priorities and coordinating those projects across all disciplines,” said El Dorado County Fire Safe Council Chair Ken PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

“The public is being informed with all of these messages but they’re not understanding how it all relates together into one fire-safe county.” — Ken Pimlott, El Dorado County Fire Safe Council Chair Grant Program. The goal of the office is to prioritize and coordinate countywide protection strategies. Other responsibilities of the office would include coordinating wildfire and vegetation management projects, keeping updated with building code changes, facilitating program priorities for the county vegetation management ordinance and managing funds that come from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. The county hopes to receive more than $10 million from the grant program, which would help offset costs for home fire mitigation n

El Dorado Irrigation District’s Jenkinson Lake, pictured March 17 from the Stonebraker boat launch, is looking pretty full lately as it is holding about 80% of its capacity.

Water supplies ‘sufficient’ n Flumes burned by

Caldor Fire expected to be repaired mid-April

Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent “We have sufficient supplies this year,” Operations Director Dan Corcoran told the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors March 28. Though dry conditions have prevailed the last three months, “The residual effects of December precipitation have continued to benefit runoff and base flows in watershed streams,” Corcoran wrote in a report to the board on 2022 water supplies. Caples Lake is at 82% of capacity as of March 22 and Silver Lake is 46% but will top off by the time all the alpine snow melts. Echo Lake is 6%. It also will rise later. Lake Aloha is 70% and Jenkinson Lake was 81% full as of March 22 but had since added at least another 1,000 acre-feet. Folsom Reservoir is 55% full and the U.S. Bureau of

Reclamation has shifted out of flood control and is keeping more behind the dam. EID will use its local resources, including a 100% full Weber Reservoir, whose water is released and captured by EID and its new $42 million submersible pumps in stainless steel tubes in Folsom Lake. EID also has 17,000 acre-feet of water rights in Folsom Lake that flow through the 22-mile-long canal and flume system, then runs through the powerhouse and is captured later in Folsom Lake. That flume and canal system also will provide 3,000-5,000 acre-feet of water that can be diverted into Sly Park’s Jenkinson Lake later in the season. With the unseasonably warm weather, February water demand from EID customers increased 21% over February 2021. March demand is expected to increase about 19%. However, Project 184 carryover storage remains above average, especially since the new concrete construction of three canals burned by the Caldor Fire is not expected to be complete until mid-April. The time frame

for the project was set back by the huge snowfall in December that followed an 11- to 12-inch October rainfall. The Stage 1 Water Alert will remain in effect for 2022, Corcoran wrote. In answer to a question about water quality being affected by runoff from the burn area, Corcoran noted the alpine reservoirs produce improved water quality in the canal system. Director Alan Day said a 30% reduction in water consumption has already been “baked in.” Day requested a one-page summary of declining water consumption over the last decade. This would be used in case the state should come up with a statewide conservation requirement regardless of an agency’s and would help the district request exemption. General Manager Jim Abercrombie said the district may get information from the state and will keep the board abreast of any developments. Meanwhile he would work on this one-page summary.

Marion Frances Davis Nov. 28, 1924 - March 25, 2022

Marion Frances Davis, age 97, peacefully passed away March 25. Born in Martinez, Calif., as the oldest of four children to Waldo C. and Clara M. (Jensen) Davis. Marion grew up in Martinez, briefly moving to Borneo with her family and then moving back to Martinez for the remainder of her childhood. She went on and graduated from Alhambra Union High School in 1942. She then obtained her B.A. in history at San Francisco State College in 1948. She worked as a secretary and bookkeeper most of her life, living and working in the Los Angeles area from 1954-87. In 1988 she moved closer to family in the Placerville area where we all got to enjoy her love for God, family, friends and life. She then volunteered for Marshall Medical Center and El Dorado County Library, both in Placerville. Marion enjoyed a good hamburger and had a large group of close friends. She regularly attended First Lutheran Church in Placerville and belonged to a bible study group. Marion enjoyed traveling and even in retirement enjoyed any trip out of town she could participate in. She is predeceased by her parents and sisters Shirley Davis and Lorraine (Davis) Emry. She will be missed by her brother, Dick (Dotty) Davis of Groveland, Calif., and many (great) nieces, nephews and numerous friends. All are invited to attend a gathering to honor and celebrate her life on Saturday, April 23, at 11:30 a.m. at First Lutheran Church in Placerville followed by light refreshments in the Fireside room after the service. Interment will be privately held for family at The Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland where she will rest with other family members. Flowers are appreciated and donations in her memory may be made to First Lutheran Church, 1200 Pinecrest Ct., Placerville.

Leah Jeanne Renn Hoffman

Oct. 6, 1930 – March 19, 2022

Jeanne Hoffman, 91, passed away peacefully in American Canyon, Calif. Jeanne was the daughter of Roy and Leah Barden of Placerville. She was born in Illinois. She was married to her high school sweetheart, Henry William (Bill) Renn in 1950, until his death from lymphoma in 2002. She remarried in 2005 to Melvin Hoffman (a close family friend) until his death in 2013. Jeanne is survived by her daughter, Lynda and husband Carlo Cosenza. She moved in with them in 2017. She is also survived by her two sister-in-laws, Juanita Erickson and Meridel Barden and many nieces and nephews. Jeanne was a special person with a beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many. She was always quick to lend a helping hand to those in need. She loved children and was like a surrogate mother and grandmother to many friends and their kids. Jeanne and Bill enjoyed traveling and spending time with family and friends. In her later years, Jeanne enjoyed reading and game nights with Mel and friends and spent every afternoon at the senior center for lunch until she moved out of Placerville in 2017. Interment will be at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Colma, Calif., alongside her husband of over 52 years and her parents.

“This does not preclude (Placerville Downtown Association) from having events; this is just for Main Street closures,” said Taylor. Thomas then asked his fellow council members to consider how profit sharing might affect event sponsors. “When it comes to the sharing of the profit at 30%, I think that should be a range and not a set amount,” he said. Thomas noted some nonprofits may not participate in the workload as much as others and asked if the co-sponsors would have the leeway to negotiate revenue sharing. Zeller clarified that the current agreement did not set forth a percentage of revenue sharing with the nonprofit partner. Morris added that a revenue sharing agreement between a nonprofit and a vendor sponsoring an event would need to be approved by city staff. Taylor noted that in prior meetings regarding public events the City Council had expressed a desire to hold a public forum in order to establish expectations for event participants, staff and volunteers. The downtown event city sponsorship resolution spells out that the director of Community Services would “negotiate agreements with co-sponsors to assign rights and responsibilities of each party in the execution of these seven special events …” City Attorney Mona Ebrahimi offered clarification on what an agreement entails. “The nature of what the council is approving is, in fact, a limited public forum because we are limiting the type of activities and what is expected,” she explained. “For example, during Trick or Treat it is centered around youth and trick or treating and the holiday so we would be able to prohibit activities that don’t align with that without running afoul of any First Amendment issues.” She suggested a draft policy could be drawn up and reviewed in advance so the public, sponsorship applicants and participants would be aware of what is expected for any particular event. Council members agreed policies for each event should be in place and would be under the purview of city staff to create and negotiate. Before a vote was called an amendment relegating authority to staff to create policies and procedures for each limited public forum was added. Individual contracts will not come back to the council for approval unless a new event, not on the original approved list, was added to the lineup. At the end of the discussion councilmembers unanimously approved city sponsorship of Main Street events.

take that slot. John Zachary, event manager working with Kilt and Cork for the proposed Blues, Brews and Barbecues event, announced the event would be renamed to Motherlode Beer and Music Fest. Vice Mayor Michael Saragosa asked Zachary if the organization had looked at other locations in Placerville, as Kilt and Cork has traditionally sponsored the revenue-generating Oktoberfest in downtown Placerville. “Yes, we have looked at other places,” said Zachary. “Where can you have it in El Dorado County that can bring people in? … for these events, as far as we’re concerned, these are the right spots for them. Main Street is a great draw …” Borelli urged consideration of other locations to bring folks to those parts of the city. “We are so appreciative of our wonderful little downtown but we also want to draw attention to the other two areas, which are Broadway and Placerville Drive,” said Borelli. Mayor Kara Taylor directed the discussion toward possibly creating a nonprofit 501(c)3 beneficiary. “The point of community events is to benefit our community,” she said. “Charitable organizations, they’re the backbone of our community and they provide a real benefit, not only to downtown but all areas of Placerville and El Dorado County and the community at large.” She then asked if it was too restrictive to make the co-sponsor be a nonprofit or should the co-sponsor have to partner with a nonprofit organization. “One of the biggest challenges we have is maintaining some neutrality and having good city events,” said Councilman Dennis Thomas. “When you start bringing in politically active nonprofits, then all of a sudden it turns it into more than what I want to see our events do.” Thomas suggested working with the numerous nonprofits that are not politically active but “really focus only on taking care of the citizens in this community.” The consensus was to limit co-sponsorships to businesses that are either a nonprofit or are working directly with a nonprofit that would directly benefit from an event.

Alternative ID — Population By Division Census Population

With three more tweaks to the Alternative 1A that the El Dorado Irrigation District board seemed to favor the last time redistricting maps were presented, the directors chose Alternative 1D. Alternative 1A had Division 3 extending down the east side of North Shingle Road and then following on the north side of Highway 50 east until it reached Weber Creek and followed that until the dividing line swooped up to include a triangle of Camino Heights. Divisions 2 and 1 split the town of El Dorado and Division 2 split Cameron Park with Division 4. Alternative 1B moved Division 3 out of North Shingle Road, giving it back to Division 2. It also gave all of the town of El Dorado to Division 2. The final tweak of Alternative 1D saw Division 3 move down both sides of Green Valley Road as far as Highway 50 and then continue down the east side of Green Valley Road until arriving at Dry Creek and following that to Mother Lode Drive. It then connects with Missouri Flat Road north into Placerville until hitting Weber Creek. All alternatives shifted Lake Hills Estates and Salmon Falls Road from Division 3 to Division 5, which has most of El Dorado Hills. Division 4 retains the bulk of Cameron Park

and a small portion of eastern El Dorado Hills, plus all of Latrobe Road and about 150 acres that is district land on the other side of the county line, in Folsom. EID is a multi-county district, a fact that provides some protection against the state expropriating some of its property tax revenue. Divison 1 has Diamond Springs, Camino, most of Apple Hill, Pleasant Valley and Pollock Pines. Many of the adjustments followed detailed suggestions from former Director Greg Prada. His successor on the board, Director Pat Dwyer, thanked Prada for his comments for Alternative 1D. Dwyer also praised the outstanding work by

District Counsel Brian Poulsen and the GIS staff that worked with him. “It was a tremendous effort. I think the board came together for the whole district,” Dwyer said. “I thank everybody who put this together. It mostly affects directors for Division 2 and 3, said Division 5 Director Alan Day. Alternative 1D was unanimously chosen by the board. There was no comment by the public, although the board clerk noted Prada was listening to the board meeting. He had already provided detailed suggestions to the staff working on the redistricting maps. His details showed up in the final choice of the board.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “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.

Let them in

illions flee Ukraine. Where will they

go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. John Stossel “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my new video. For example, America has a nursing shortage but immigration authorities turn away foreign nurses. A Mexican teenager who wants to help build houses might be admitted, but he’d have to wait 100 years. No wonder people sneak across the border. This month President Joe Biden announced the United States would take in 100,000 refugees from Ukraine. “He could snap his fingers and make it 250,000 if he chose,” says Welch, and he should because “we’re a refugee country and the people who come here tend to be the best.” “But they could be the worst,” I point out. Even the supposed “worst of the worst,” Welch replies, made America better. That’s a reference to 1980, when Fidel Castro let 100,000 people out of jail and Reagan, campaigning encouraged them to go to America. for the presidency, Some were his said immigrants make political opponents, but most were, as a us better. “They share Miami TV anchor the same values, the put it, “bums off the streets of Havana — same dream.” murderers, thieves, perverts, prostitutes.” Castro assumed they’d cause problems in America. But “that was wrong,” says Welch. Despite their past problems, “they enriched Miami. They added to the economy and didn’t detract from the people who lived there.” A study showed that the Cuban exodus raised wages of low-skilled Miamians. Immigrants improved America even when we took in people who’d tried to kill us and who we had tried to kill. Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter eagerly took in refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia. Reagan, campaigning for the presidency, said immigrants make us better. “They share the same values, the same dream.” “He was bragging on this as a conservative and American value,” says Welch. “It is no longer a conservative value.” Today, conservatives are more likely to argue against letting in refugees, saying, as Ann Coulter put it, “Things can turn overnight when you’re bringing in these masses of people from very, very different cultures.” Then she joked, “And make it a hate crime to ask them to assimilate.” It wasn’t entirely a joke. Some leftists call asking Latinos to assimilate “racist repression.” More reasonably, many Americans fear that crime will rise if we let in more immigrants. But that’s unlikely. “They commit far less crime than native-born Americans,” Welch points out. He’s right. Nativeborn Americans were 11.6 times more likely to be jailed than Afghan immigrants. “It’s hard for us to process that fact,” says Welch. n

Letters to the Editor Above the law? EDITOR: moved to the Serrano community in El Dorado Hills in 2013. I was told dogs must be on leashes when you are out walking with your dogs. I recently walked into the office of HOA to take care of some paperwork. A small black dog was by the door and barked at me and acted aggressive. I immediately asked the front desk lady, who sat there training another lady, “Isn’t the dog supposed to be on the leash?” She looked at me like I was a problem and told me that dogs in the building are not required to be on a leash. When I tried to find the bathroom, that dog was following me around the office area and making me very uncomfortable. I was bit by a dog when I was 6 years old. I was given shots under the belly area and that sick feeling makes me stay away from dogs. I cannot believe the HOA allows dogs running in the office area like in a dog park. The HOA enforces the policy not allowing dogs not on leashes in the Serrano community but it allows dogs to run free in the office building, which is still a public area? Is this a double standard? How can the HOA live above the law? PEGGY BIRU KONG El Dorado Hills

Gender and language EDITOR: he inability of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to give a definition of “woman” at the Senate hearings reflects the absurdity of the present political moment. Why does a smart, highly accomplished woman give such an inane answer that even she looked embarrassed by? What everyone accepted as fact a few years ago is suddenly so controversial that to give the wrong answer is punishable by de-platforming, loss of livelihood, harassment by the mob and even death threats. J.K. Rowling, for the sin of believing there are only two sexes, has received so many death threats “she could paper her walls with them.” She has had angry mobs show up at her house and was reportedly uninvited to the HBO 20th anniversary celebration of the first Harry Potter film, even though she’s the author. Girls on the Penn State swim team are so afraid of retribution for voicing their hurt at the unfairness of competing with a transwoman swimmer, they publish letters anonymously.

The American Medical Association now lobbies for keeping male or female gender designation off birth certificates because “designating babies as either ‘male’ or ‘female’ at birth fails to recognize the medical spectrum of gender identity.” Official guidelines issued by the British Medical Association says mothers-to-be should be referred to as “pregnant people.” And that “chestfeeding” should replace “breastfeeding.” The language police at medical schools across this country are coercing professors into abject apologies for using terms like “mother,” “breastfeeding,” “pregnant woman,” “male and female” and even “father and son.” Some of the recorded “confessions” are so cringeworthy they sound like something out of the Chinese Cultural Revolution — “I said ‘when a woman is pregnant,’” a professor tells his class, “which implies that only women can get pregnant and I most sincerely apologize to all of you.” Lisa Littman, a former professor at Brown University, lost her job for publishing an article questioning the gender transitioning of young girls. Even satire is not exempt. When Admiral Rachel Levine, a transwoman who is assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, was named USA Today’s “Woman of the Year,” The Babylon Bee, an online satire site, jokingly awarded her “Man of the Year” and was promptly suspended from Twitter for “hate speech.” Trans people are entitled to live their lives with dignity and without discrimination or harassment, but it is not transphobic to object to the subversion of reality or to be coerced into saying things one doesn’t believe. John McWhorter, a regular columnist at the NY Times and professor of linguistics at Columbia University wrote a book, “Woke Racism,” which, among other concerns, analyzes the damage done by these distortions of language and meaning. That McWhorter is both black and a liberal testifies that the fight against Orwellian “Newspeak” should not be a partisan concern. CARRIE BRAVERMAN El Dorado Hills

David stops Goliath ... and correspondents report it live

ou gotta love a good David and Goliath yarn. The tiny underdog whacks the giant bully against all odds and comes out ahead ... at least for a time. Whether it lasts forever is always a future unknown. We know these and Chris a million other related pieces about the Russian invasion of Ukraine because of the courage of countless male and female war correspondents. Two of them paid the ultimate price for their profession and dedication. Fox News photographer Pierre Zakrzewski had covered many war zones and was very familiar with that beat. Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova had been at sites covering the worst of the fighting in her homeland. This information and more like it is available online. I Googled it.

When I was 17 or 18, I could think of nothing more interesting or exciting than being a foreign correspondent. All the ones I saw or heard at that time were on radio and television. They were more urgent, way more engaging than slogging through magazines Daley and newspapers, easily accessible, didn’t cost anything and had newsreels and color photography. To many of my generation, reading newspapers and magazine accounts was “so last Tuesday” as we might describe it today. And it could be tedious and boring. I had an uncle who had a good friend who anchored one of the better known San Francisco TV networks for a few years early in the 1960s. My uncle said I should try to get in touch to see if the fellow could help me in some way or other. I tried a few times

He might have been exceedingly unimpressed with my experience and qualifications, of which I had neither. I was a high school graduate with barely average grades, no extracurricular activities, no journalistic experience writing or working on the school newspaper. I had one semester of community college English and history, including my first encounter with Russian history. I had a fairly good facility for foreign languages, including two years of Latin, two years of Spanish and almost a full semester of French. And the news anchor wasn’t interested? Eventually I lost that passion and never pursued it further, but there’s always been a small flicker of whatmight-have-been, certainly interest

and great respect for those who go into harm’s way with only a pencil, notepad, recording device and a camera or two. Of course, the foreign travel always sounded terribly exotic, daring and romantic too. Many network and cable news reporters and even anchors are turning up in Kyiv, Lviv and other regions — all earning some foreign and war correspondence chops if they haven’t already got them. Part of me has always wished I had followed that 17 year-old’s dream. Today, a bigger part of me still sees the travel, the excitement and the romance. The risk? Not not so much. I think about them and worry about them, appreciate and admire those men and women and I wish for them long life and a safe haven somewhere.

Immigrants, overall, collect less welfare than nativeborn Americans. Still, people feel threatened when large numbers of foreigners arrive.

“He started playing two to three years ago with me and since then he’s gotten really good, almost as good as me,” Romig said with a chuckle. “It’s a good competition for sure. My goal is always to beat him.” Under the perfectly clear skies at Cameron Park County Club March 24, Romig didn’t beat Paulson, but the pair tied for the best score in the Cougars’ win over Union Mine, 242-286. From top to bottom, El Dorado was consistently dominant. The top five scores were all within three shots of each other. Romig and Paulson led the way by each scoring 47, while Henry Soetaert and Nick Turner-Miller shot 49, and they were followed narrowly into the clubhouse by Carter Moore, who finished with a 50. Romig and Paulsen were up against senior Clayton Minnick and junior Hayden McGowan, who are the Diamondbacks’ leading golfers. The four walked the Diamondbacks’

As a freshman he was the No. 2 golfer for El Dorado but Jason Romig was already looking forward to this season. In middle school he started playing with another talented young golfer and this year that player, Cedar Paulson, who is a year younger than Romig, joins him on the varsity greens. “When he was in eighth grade and I was a freshman, I was thinking ‘Next year is gonna be so fun,’” Romig said. “And it really is. It’s really fun.” Romig is now the team’s No. 1 as a sophomore while Paulson, a freshman, is the Cougars’ No. 2 golfer, meaning they are paired together in matches. “He’s super light-hearted and he picks me up a little bit,” Paulson said. “He’s super good and I like playing with him.” Paulson said the two know each other’s tendencies after playing together almost every day during the summer and on weekends.

Thomas Frey Staff writer Former Union Mine basketball star Carley Zaragoza helped lead Western Washington University to the finals of the Division II NCAA basketball championship last week. Zaragoza also was part of the D’back team that enjoyed a playoff run for the ages and now she’s at it again with Western Washington. The Vikings began the 64-team NCAA Tournament as a No. 3 seed and took down Alaska Anchorage, Central Washington, California State University East Bay and Valdosta State to earn a trip to the Final Four. The Vikings defeated topseeded North Georgia before falling to Glenville State 85-72 in the finals March 25.

Liam Case, Kadin Cooper and Zane Harrison rounded out the top five. “I would have liked to hit a little better and kind of take what I was doing on the driving range and implement it out on the course,” McGowan said. “Overall, I think it was just a fun day and every round is just an opportunity to become a better player.” McGowan and Minnick have seen their play evolve over the years and are able to motivate each other when needed. “I really look up to Clayton,” McGowan said. “He’s always been a good mentor of mine and if you are having a bad round or a bad hit he’s always able to bring you back up.

Nugget rivalry between the two schools. “We’ve had a really strong rivalry with them,” said Minnick, who has played all four years. “They’re really a strong team and they have a great program. It’s great to have a tough opponent. It really motivates you and pushes your limits. (Jason and Cedar) are great guys to play with.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your power won’t grow from shunning the parts of you that you don’t like, but from integrating all parts of you and accepting the polarities: good and bad, strong and weak, yin and yang. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). From the outside it may seem that everyone on the inside gets along famously, but groups are more typically held together by tension than by harmony. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You might think that people who are a little like you will follow the same lines of thought, but they won’t. Your mind is more unique than you know. No one is you; don’t forget it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not that you have some burning piece of information to share, it’s just that sharing anything is so important right now. Satisfy your craving to connect. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Attractions aren’t always mutual, and even when they are it’s not always so easy to make the connection. When it happens, it’s something to celebrate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You see the opportunity in a situation but you’re not an opportunist because what you notice is the opportunity to give, to help and to take an action that will raise everyone up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People appreciate what you do for them, and it feels good to be around

people who don’t take you for granted. Just know that you are also loved, not for what you do, but just for being you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re sensitive to the energetic reality around you. You feel the shadows and either do something to lighten them or avoid them altogether. Be spiritually generous, but also know your limits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Negativity can be literally cleared away as you clean the environment. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel when everything is in its place and the surfaces are cleaned. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just as the wind moves stagnant energy outside, new influences move the stagnant energy of the mind. Reading, conversation and intellectual experiences are key to optimal health. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone is thinking of you and in just the way you would most prefer. This is no accident; rather, you’ve shown people how you like to be treated and they’ve done as you wanted. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve wanted something for a long time. The way to get it is to stop trying. Change the focus for a while. Do other things that delight you. Take yourself out of the normal setting so there’s no choice but to deal with elements unknown.

One love — reggae

The crowd welcomes roots reggae legends Cecil Spence and Lascelle Bulgin of Israel Vibration out of Kingston, Jamaica.

A fan waves a Rastafarian flag, above left, as festivalgoers dance at the Placerville Reggae Campout March 25-26 at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. The event served as a springtime replacement for the Dry Diggings Festival, which would have been in its sixth year of playing Placerville in September but had to be relocated to Grass Valley as the Caldor Fire base camp required use of the fairgrounds instead. Anthony B, above right photo, brought his high-energy performance style and message of peace to the stage Saturday night.

Young reggae star Kailash, left photo, left, joined his uncle and famed Jamaican reggae singer and composer Don Carlos, center, for his set. Reggae music lovers spread out on the fairgrounds lawn, right photo, as 13 world-stage acts performed at the two-day Placerville Reggae Campout.

Welcoming poker players to the hoedown were, right photo, from left, Michelle Helweh, Emily Echevarria, Jeanne Harper, Joan Scheppelmann and Karina Echevarria. Scheppelmann designed the logo for the playground project, as well as the backdrops for the Old West themed event.

The board approved of a $3 million match for the grant. The fire resiliency working group also determined areas in which the county could improve its firedefense efforts. Pimlott told supervisors that public outreach has been conducted by each fire agency, which members of the working group hope can be used to create a singular countywide message in the future. “The public is being informed with all of these messages but they’re not understanding how it all relates together into one fire safe county,” Pimlott said. Another project the wildfire resiliency working group is looking into is establishing a data hub and collection point into a standardized tracking method. This would include a map display to help pinpoint

Identifying areas that are most at risk of wildfire is another objective of the working group. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel recommended having conversations with the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit to be inclusive of the entire county. “I recommend that (this group) work from the beginning as one …” Novasel said. “You’re talking about a countywide program and it needs to be countywide. It’s not countywide if you’re not inclusive with the entire county, which does include the Tahoe Basin.” The Board of Supervisors unanimously praised the working group for its findings and recommendations, approving of the new Wildfire Resiliency Office and the match funding for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.

Roberta Long Mountain Democrat correspondent

n a summer evening in 1973 I found myself relaxing on the steps of a small home, enjoying the cool Delta breeze and chatting with artists and people who had come to the opening of a new exhibit at The Candy Store Gallery in Folsom. I was with my husband, David, who had joined the Philosophy Department at California State University, Sacramento and made friends with members of the Art Department, whose works were shown in the gallery. Inside, owner Adeliza McHugh was engaged in encouraging prospective customers to experience the art. I had no idea how important she was, how important her artists were and how important this little gallery away from any art center was. When Adeliza drove down Sutter Street in 1962 looking for a place where she could sell almond nougat, a candy made from her mother’s recipe, Folsom’s glory days as a railroad hub were long past. Its transformation into a hightech city was decades in the future. Folsom’s population was around 4,000. It was the market center for surrounding ranches and farms. Adeliza bought a small building that had served as a library at 605 Sutter St., and began to execute her business plan. But that

What would a 40-yearold woman who just moved to a small town way out in the country do? She would open an art gallery. Before economic development or tourism bureaus, Adeliza would put her art gallery in Folsom on the international map. Adeliza had no training in art. What she had was the ■

ack Russell Farm Brewery kicks off its 2022 music season with The Barely Only Deadheads Show, starting at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 2. Guests will enjoy live music with upgrades — a new stage, a new sound system and a new lighting system transplanted from the now defunct Boardwalk Club in Orangevale. The lineup features Achilles Wheel, L-daWg Allstars and Nipper Nipper Brothers. Bring your dancing shoes.

Achilles Wheel is a California band that blurs the lines between genres with a mix of infectious high-energy dance beats and stark lyrical ballads as well as roots rock storytelling combined with dance hall psychedelia. Much like life itself, the band’s music breathes in and out with joy and pain, hurtling forward like a wheel, intent on hope and love. The musicians play hard as a way to break down walls and celebrate life. Their idealism is not diminished by the harsh light of the modern world as people struggle to live free and

have a good time. Achilles Wheel fearlessly sings out to these times, the here and now. L-daWg Allstars was born out of a mutual love of fusion reggae and high-vibe rhythms in early 2021. Members include Ken Masuda (vocals/guitar), an award-winning West Coast songwriter and cofounder of the ‘80s San Francisco band the Reggae-nomics; David Ladd of Video Jazz (sax, keys, flute and vocals), a career veteran who has toured extensively in Europe, n

Texas native Rodney Crowell is a two-time Grammy Award winner who has penned numerous No. 1 hits. He performs at the Center for the Arts next week.

Songwriter Rodney Crowell brings hits to Grass Valley News release

he Center for the Arts presents An Evening With Rodney Crowell, Tuesday, April 5, in Grass Valley. With more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt, Texas native Rodney Crowell is a two-time Grammy Award winner who has written 15 No.1 hits with five No. 1 hits of his own and a legacy of songwriting excellence which has made him an icon among giants. With strong roots in country music, Crowell has written chart-topping hits for the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Urban and more. But owing to the distinctly universal, literary quality of his writing has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger, Etta James, the Grateful Dead, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett and countless others. A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir “Chinaberry Sidewalks” and

teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for “Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell” in 2012, with Karr saying of her collaborator, “Like Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda, he writes and croons with a poet’s economy and a well digger’s deep heart.” Crowell was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award in 2017 and that same year released the album “Close Ties,” which spawned another Grammy nomination for “It Ain’t Over Yet” with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. In 2018 he opened his own record label, RC1 Records, and released “Acoustic Classics” in 2018 and “TEXAS” in 2019. Crowell’s upcoming album, “Triage,” will be released July 23 on RC1 Records/Thirty Tigers. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. at the Center for the Arts, 314 W.

Sacramento area celebrates Photography Month Traci Rockefeller Cusack News release

ed by Viewpoint Photographic Art Center — a non-profit organization located in Midtown Sacramento — and in collaboration with many involved partners such as the city of Sacramento, Photography Month Sacramento takes place throughout the month of April. Photography Month Sacramento creates a shared platform for galleries, museums, educational institutions, libraries, retail establishments, photographers and patrons to celebrate and elevate the art of photography. Interested participants are encouraged to create or highlight their own exhibits, displays, lectures, receptions, workshops, demonstrations, temporary public art displays, art walks, photo shoot meet-ups, and other special events to help showcase the art of photography. First launched in 2018, the grassroots collaborative visual arts celebration has expanded to include Sacramento, Placer, Nevada and Yolo counties. A diverse and eclectic variety of activations are planned throughout the region, including: • CASA de ESPAÑOL Presentation & Coffee Tasting (10:30 a.m. to noon, April 2): The award-winning Spanish language school and cultural center will be showing compelling images from a recent trip to Pachamama’s

cooperative coffee growers in Veracruz, México. The opening on April 2 at Sacramento at CASA de ESPAÑOL (1101 R St. in Sacramento) is open to the public and highlighted by a presentation and coffee tasting. The images will be on display throughout the month of April for viewing. • Nature Day at The HIVE (11 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 2): The community is invited to enjoy a memorable outdoor experience at The HIVE in Woodland that is offering immersive, daylong workshops and hands-on activities centered around sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. As a highlight, guests will explore the fascinating world of bees and pollinators in a pop-up art gallery that will showcase awardwinning pollinator photographer Kathy Keatley Garvey. • Viewpoint Photographic Art Center Exhibition & Receptions (exhibit, April 6 through May 7; Second Saturday reception, April 9; artists’ reception, April 17): Viewpoint Photographic Art Center will present two juried open call exhibits at the J Street gallery in Midtown Sacramento. In the Main Gallery, Art from Art features 50 photographic works of visual arts such as murals, museum images, public art and much more.

Continued from B1

clear-eyed view of changing circumstances and her resources that came from growing up on a ranch in St. George, Utah. She also had a firm conviction in her taste in art. What she didn’t like was what was popular, especially the abstract expressionism that was centered in New York. She had lived in New York City with her then husband, Vincent McHugh, where she was able to view the art scene firsthand. Fortunately artists more to her liking were gathering to work and teach at University of California, Davis and Sac State. Their style came to be called Funk. Funk Art is difficult to define. It is centered on freedom to experiment, freedom of expression and freedom to change. Being so far away from New York or even San Francisco art critics gave the artists free range to explore. If there was a rule, it was “There are no rules.” They didn’t expect to make money from their art. They preferred their freedom to following the money. Most became art teachers. Whatever the medium – clay, wood, paints, glazes – Funk artists experimented with creating their own materials, often incorporating found objects. The results could be playful or serious, humorous or satirical, crass or shocking, profound or meaningless, large or small, bright or pale. “Funky,” used as slang, means “an unpredictable style or attitude.” Adeliza called it “art with a kick.” She spotted Irving Marcus’ winning painting in the 1962 Crocker-Kingsley exhibition and approached him to exhibit his work in her gallery. He became chair of the Sacramento State Art Department in 1966. During the three years there, he doubled the size of the faculty and introduced students and artist friends to The Candy Store. He recruited three Chicago painters – Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt and Karl Wirsum – from a group called Hairy Who to his department and to exhibit at The Candy Store. Robert Arneson joined the faculty at UC Davis in 1962 and stayed until 1991. He earned the title Father of Funk when he experimented with ceramics, creating sculptures and taking the medium from craft to an art form. He was an early exhibitor at The Candy Store. Students David Gilhooly, Maija Peeples-Bright, Sandra Shannonhouse, Peter VandenBerge and colleague Roy deForest showed their works regularly with Adeliza. She became friends with the artists and understood their art. She offered her gallery as a place they could socialize and where she could promote them and sell their creations. Adeliza believed strongly that art should not be confined to museums and galleries, but belongs in people’s homes where they can live with it. She would let people take a piece home on trial or take advantage of time payments with no interest. Once customers purchased a piece from Adeliza, they often came back for more. In the 30 years that Adeliza owned The Candy Store, word spread. She hosted more artists and received art collectors from near and far. It was an adventure to fly or drive to Sacramento, then drive out to Folsom, where they could visit the gallery and enjoy shopping and dining on Sutter Street. The building a 605 Sutter St. holds many tales. A current exhibit at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento tells those tales magnificently. With pieces from the Crocker’s collection, and some on loan from collectors and exhibiting artists, the art is a wonderland of creative energy posed against walls and columns in red and aqua. The Candy Store: Funk, Nut, and Other Art with a Kick runs through May 1. One of the sponsors of the exhibit is Elizabeth Ketelle, who was an English teacher and librarian at Golden Sierra High School in Garden Valley (current enrollment, 317) for 31 years.

On May 3, 2022 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 13, 2006 as Instrument No. 20060009520-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by DARLYS EDWARDS, A SINGLE WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for TFW, INC. DBA BANKERS FIRST FINANCIAL as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 6201 STATE HIGHWAY 193, GEORGETOWN, CA 95634 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs,

expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $358,550.18 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 ServiceLink Auction | Hudson and Marshall at (866) 539-4173 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address https://www.servicelinkauction. com/ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000375-20-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 539-4173, or visit this internet website https://www. servicelinkauction.com/, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000375-20-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2850 MOSQUITO ROAD, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured 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: $167,816.88 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 beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 091311-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 TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 091311-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

forces with Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan to form the acclaimed Grammy-winning folk trio I’m With Her. Following up her most recent Grammy-winning album, “World On The Ground,” Jarosz has announced the release of “Blue Heron Suite,” a much-anticipated song cycle which she composed after being the recipient of the FreshGrass Composition Commission. Jarosz premiered the piece at the 2017 FreshGrass Festival at Mass MoCa in North Adams, Mass. The commission proved to be an exciting musical challenge for Jarosz and she ended up with a song cycle inspired by the frequent trips she and her parents made to Port Aransas, a small town on the Gulf Coast of Texas, a few hours from her hometown of Wimberley. 2017 had proven to be an emotional year for Jarosz — her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer and the town of Port Aransas was severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Those two events caused Jarosz to think back to the early morning walks she and her mom would take along Mustang Island beach and the great blue herons they observed along the shore. The birds came to be a symbol of hope for her family during a difficult time and they continue to remind her of family and home. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Center for the Arts, 314 W. Main St. in Grass Valley. For tickets and more information visit thecenterforthearts.org.
