Schools close for remainder of year n Food service still

available at most campuses

Dylan Svoboda Staff writer All 15 of the county’s school district superintendents signed a joint letter Wednesday that confirms schools will operate through distance learning as administrators do their part to attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The move follows statements this week from Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond declaring they expected schools wouldn’t reopen for in-person classes before summer.

The El Dorado County Office of

No new COVID19 cases in county reported Wednesday

Education followed those forecasts with a definitive closure of all its schools in an effort to maintain social-distancing protocols and avoid large gatherings.

“While we recognize this extension of school facility closures poses challenges and hardship to many families in El Dorado County, the most effective way to slow and disrupt the transmission of this pandemic is by continuing to implement social distancing practice,” a press release from the El Dorado County Office of Education states.

“We are grateful to community members throughout El Dorado County for their tremendous prevention efforts during this unique and challenging time.”

Students will continue the school n

directive extended through end of April Dylan Svoboda Staff writer While statewide COVID-19 cases rose by nearly 1,000 Wednesday, El Dorado County reported no new cases of the virus.

Total positive cases remained at 18 as of Wednesday evening with no reported deaths.

The county’s case count increased by three on both Monday and Tuesday.

The virus has been found on both the Western Slope and in South Lake Tahoe, though specific neighborhoods, ages and conditions of the victims, among other details, have not been released to the public.

Testing appears to have ramped up in recent days. The number of El Dorado County residents who received a coronavirus test jumped from a reported 565 on Monday to 764 by Wednesday evening. About 150 test results are pending.

County officials extended their shelter-in-place directive through April as local public health officials aim to curb the spread of COVID19.

Residents are to continue practicing “social distancing” and traveling only for essential activities and business.

The original order issued March 19 by county Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams was set through April 16. The statewide order handed down by Gov. Gavin Newsom has no set end date. n

Jeff Thoma, owner of The Independent Restaurant and Bar on Main Street in Placerville, adds lids on a takeout cocktail order last week.

California’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control eased regulations on eateries to allow them to serve to-go mixed drinks, beer and wine.

Restaurants mixing it up — cocktails now allowed with takeout Kevin Christensen Staff writer In an effort to ease the financial burden restaurants have endured due to COVID-19, a temporary state law eases restrictions on serving alcoholic beverages to patrons on takeout and delivery orders.

California’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the governing entity that oversees

licensing of alcohol for bars statewide, announced a measure March 19 to assist eateries trying to remain viable through the economic downturn.

ABC relaxed regulations around alcohol delivery, making it easier for restaurants to sell pre-mixed cocktails, beer and wine for pick-up or delivery throughout California.

After being one of the first restaurants in Placerville to close

all services due to the COVID-19 threat, the Independent Restaurant and Bar, located on Main Street, is one local eatery that has decided to reopen and serve to-go alcoholic beverages (along with food).

“It’s been tough because business is down 85% since this all started,” said Jeff Thoma, owner of The Independent. “We had to put 29 n

Serrano residents take board members to task Sel Richard Staff writer The Serrano El Dorado Owners’ Association Board of Directors faces a recall by its homeowners, the aftermath of a letter to county agencies regarding Parker Development’s Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan, which could be voted on by the El Dorado County Planning Commission as early as this spring. A portion of the CEDHSP hinges on an El Dorado County General Plan amendment to redesignate the old executive golf course from open space/recreational to residential zoning.

Sent on behalf of the Serrano board and signed

by Serrano Board President Donald Sacco, the letter was written “submitting its position on

the CEDHSP application before the Planning Commission and to eventually come before the Board of Supervisors.”

It outlines the desire for lower density and the approval of the open space designation within Village D1, but refers to the current undeveloped condition of the property as unattractive. The letter further states, “The association believes the applicant has a unique opportunity to ensure continuity with architectural design consistent with neighboring communities.”

Serrano homeowners said they were not consulted regarding this communication, many posting their ire on social media over the misrepresentation of their views.

Serrano resident Donn Neher, one in a group of

homeowners who spearheaded the recall petition efforts, said the letter served as a catalyst to bring to light a systematic lack of representation the Serrano board has shown for the community it serves.

“This was the frosting on the cake,” he said, pointing out that the letter was submitted on the day before the final public hearing without notice to homeowners.

Resident and recall petitioner Jeff Baker also takes umbrage with the board’s lack of objection to a transfer of lots belonging to the HOA to the CEDHSP. “This matter was under legal review by association counsel for compliance with CC&Rs,” he said. n

Annette Auraillia Angi (Knight) July 31, 1925-March 15, 2020

Annette Auraillia Angi (our mom) was born in Los Angeles but as a young girl migrated north with her family to Weaverville in Trinity County, Calif.

She was a country girl at heart yet moved to San Francisco in the early 1940s where she met her husband to be, John Anthony Angi Sr. (our father), a sargent in the U.S. Marine Corps. After a short engagement they were married and subsequently their first son John Anthony Angi Jr. was born while living in San Francisco. Following John’s discharge from the U.S.M.C. the trio moved to Boston, Mass.; incidentally this is where John Sr. was born and raised.

Christopher Raymond Angi and Karen Theresa Angi (Hatch), their second son and daughter, were born while living in Boston, Mass. Being homesick for her homeland, Annette’s family of five drove across country and settled in the California Bay Area during the early 1950s. Hence her third and fourth sons were born, Mathew Agrippino Angi and Luke Wesley Angi. Annette raised her family and accordingly, all were married and all with families of their own, they moved to the Placerville area in El Dorado County by the late 1970s. In the year 2000 her husband John Sr. passed. And sadly, in the year 2017 her eldest son John Jr. (Tony) passed.

Annette loved her flowers, hummingbirds and all of nature.

Annette Auraillia Angi is survived by four children, 10 grandchildren and 19 greatgrandchildren. She was 94 years old when she passed away peacefully with her family around her, into the arms of our Lord Jesus.

We want to thank both Snowline Hospice and her caregivers for their compassionate loving care.

Douglas A. Eichorn

Dec. 20, 1940-March 11, 2020

Douglas A. Eichorn (Dec. 20, 1940-March 11, 2020) died peacefully in his sleep at his home after a full day of gardening in his fruit orchard. An avid sportsman, Doug spent 49 years in education and athletics in Southern California, where he nurtured countless youth not only in public high schools, but in a Los Angeles probation camp, earning him multiple awards as “teacher of the year” and the cherished nickname “Daddy-O.” On retiring Doug and his wife Oranne found their dreams come true in Shingle Springs, pursuing his many hobbies and interests, a freezer constantly stocked with the vegetables he grew, fish he caught and game he hunted on his wilderness expeditions. He treasured each day, greeting the morning with exuberance and his renowned whistling. Doug is survived by his beloved widow, one son, three stepchildren, five step-grandchildren, an older brother, two nieces and a nephew. All who knew Doug were touched by his friendliness, energy and humor. We celebrate his life and will miss him greatly.

A memorial will be held at his home in late spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory to the Ventura County Rescue Mission at 234 E. 6th St., Oxnard, CA 93030 would be most meaningful to him.

George Arthur Eide

Feb. 22, 1926-March 6, 2020

George Arthur Eide entered his heavenly home due to complications from pneumonia at Kaiser Hospital in Riverside, Calif. He was 94 years old.

George was ready to be with Melda. They were 32-year residents of El Dorado Hills and members of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church.

George is survived by two sons; Ronald (Nancy) of Pollock Pines and Glenn (Carmen) of Menifee, Calif.

He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy during World War II. George was loved by many friends and family.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date. He will be laid to rest at Mt. Vernon in Fair Oaks, Calif.

Plan For Those You love Practice focusing on:

Jennifer Lee Teague

The following is from El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office logs:

“We are tied to the ocean.

And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch — we are going back from whence we came.” — John F. Kennedy Her light was radiant, and she lived a full life without regrets.

Jennifer Lee Teague (Jen) passed away peacefully on March 26, 2020. She was surrounded by those she loved and loved her. In an undeniably Jennifer fashion, she treated her family and friends to a celebration of her life prior to her passing.

Jennifer was born on July 2, 1956, in Southern California but spent her early years exploring the Sierra Nevada foothills. Her childhood was filled with long summer days exploring caves, rappelling into abandoned mine shafts, playing baseball and riding her banana bike with her ever-present little sister. As Jennifer started at El Dorado High School, her athletic ability became apparent with interests in tennis, track and skiing. She remained active her entire life. After high school Jennifer proudly served her country as a United States Marine. Upon discharge from the U.S. Marines, Jennifer spent 10 years as a heavy equipment operator in Antarctica.

She was proud to have been the only female heavy equipment operator.

Having always loved the outdoors, Jennifer found her true home in the serene beauty of the San Juan Islands, which are located in the most northern point of Washington State. For the past 30 years, Jennifer had made Orcas Island her home. As a master of adventure and lover of life, she never turned down a bike trip, hike or sailing with her father. Jennifer thrived in the Orcas community and the wide-open spaces of the Island. She became a talented and much sought-after house painter.

Jennifer became and always will be a part of island life. As a testament to her character, Jennifer remained friends with so many childhood friends.

Jennifer is survived by her father, Clyde Teague (Barbara) of Orcas Island, Wash.; mother Joanne Curtice of Sacramento; sister Diane Elizabeth Sheffield (Mark) of Sacramento; stepbrother Terry Miller of Kansas City, Mo.; and niece Kelly Sheffield of Davis. As a devout lover of animals, Jennifer made sure that her beloved cat, Chubby, would be cared for upon her passing. In addition to Jennifer’s family, she is survived by cousins, aunts, lovers and an abundance of friends in several continents who mourn her loss but are comforted that they were once in the shadow of her light.

The family is so grateful for Jennifer’s friends, Jean Lyle, Trish Wright, Jill Sherman, Susan Kooy, David Zoeller and David Shinstrom M.D. for their devotion to Jennifer.

A memorial will be held at a later date.

8:31 a.m. Vandalism was reported on North Shingle Road in Shingle Springs.

March not measuring up in precipitation Dawn Hodson Staff writer A fourth manual survey of the snowpack for the year was conducted at Phillips Station Wednesday with disappointing results.

The snow depth measured 43.5 inches with a snow water equivalent of 16.5 inches, which is 66% of the April average for the location.

The snow water equivalent measures the amount of water contained in the snowpack, which provides a more accurate forecast of spring runoff.

Measurements from the 130 electronic snow sensors scattered throughout the state indicate that the statewide snowpack’s water equivalent is 15.2 inches, or 53% of the April average.

In addition to the manual snow surveys and automated snow measuring sites, the Department of Water Resources augments the measurements with satellite and airborne remote-sensed data. These experimental data products provide additional detail to the spatial patterns of snow water accumulation in the watersheds that helps inform and guide forecast runoff quantities and timing.

“While today’s survey results show our snowpack is better off than it was just last month, they still underscore the need for widespread, wise use of our water supplies,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth.

California is experiencing increased extremes and variability in ■

Marshall Medical sets up COVID-19 hotline Kevin Christensen Staff writer

Marshall Medical Center has set up a new advice line for public inquiries about COVID-19.

Phones are staffed by registered nurses Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on weekends from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. That hotline is (530)-6262745.

“We created this new hotline because there is a need in our community to get questions answered and we’re committed to providing those answers,” said Marshall Medical Center CEO Siri Nelson. “This hotline will help members of the community shelter in place as opposed to visiting one of our clinics, thereby helping to reduce the spread of the virus.”

COVID-19 cases have now been found in both the Western Slope and South Lake Tahoe areas of El Dorado County.

SLT puts fines in place for shelter-in-place violators ■ Eviction protection for

businesses voted down Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — After a lengthy discussion, the South Lake Tahoe City Council voted to approve administrative citations and fines for violations of the shelter in place order.

Most of the conversation centered on vacation home rentals and second homeowners.

Interim Police Chief Shannon Laney said his officers have been checking in on the more than 1,400 VHRs. If they see that the home is occupied, they are calling the owners to see if they are occupying the property or not.

Last weekend, they checked on 151 VHRs, 83 were occupied and 39 of those were owner occupied.

There has been concern from the community that enforcement is difficult and Laney did admit it’s difficult to police all 1,400 VHRs on top of regular police duties.

“Some of the members of the community have taken it upon themselves to help with enforcement and it’s become a bit of a problem,” Laney said, reminding people that driving around looking for VHR violators is a violation of Gov. Newsom’s order.

The discussion also centered around

second homeowners. Councilmember Cody Bass encouraged the city to come down on second homeowners who are sheltering in place in Tahoe.

“In these unprecedented times, we need to stand up and make unprecedented moves,” Bass said, adding this would only be a temporary move to stop the spread of the virus.

Mayor Pro Tem Tamara Wallace fought back against that, stating the city couldn’t tell homeowners what to do with their own properties.

“It was bad judgement for them to come here but it’s their homes,” Wallace said.

Assistant City Attorney Beverly Roxas pointed out that the governor’s order states no nonessential travel so if anyone comes to their second home now, they’ve violated that order.

The police will continue to monitor the VHRs but it is nearly impossible to track second homes.

The council voted unanimously to approve the citations and fines.

The council again brought forward the idea of a moratorium on commercial evictions. Bass recused himself from the discussion because he owns commercial property.

The council needed a unanimous vote to pass it but Wallace voted no. She said property owners are struggling too and this would unfairly ■

California Matters

Virus crisis changes how we work As fate would have it, California’s coronavirus battle flag was hoisted just as CalMatters was vacating its temporary offices and moving into permanent new quarters near the Capitol.

Our physical trappings — files, equipment and so forth — made the move, but our managers Dan Walters decided, prudently, that we staffers should more or less isolate ourselves in our abodes. For more than a week, therefore, we writers have been working remotely while our new offices remain virtually and indefinitely empty.

We are fortunate because what we do does not depend on customers walking in the door. Business operations that require personal contact, such as retail stores and restaurants, are shutting down throughout the state and their employees are often being cast adrift.

Working life as Californians knew it has changed very radically and very quickly, leaving one wondering whether it’s just a temporary adjustment or the harbinger of a more permanent alteration.

By happenstance, too, when the virus crisis hit, Californians were already engaged in a debate of sorts about employment because the state Supreme Court and the Legislature had tightened up the legal test of who could continue working as nonemployee contractors and who must become payroll employees.

However, they upset the lives of thousands — no one really knows how many — of Californians who preferred to work independently, including freelance writers, musicians and artists. Before it adjourned indefinitely due to the crisis, the Legislature had begun the laborious process of revising last year’s sweeping decree.

Last week, the University of California published an on-line article that explored the underlying uncertainty about how workplace disruptions will play out in the longer run.

Edward Lempinen, a writer for UC-Berkeley’s media office, interviewed UC scholars about the issue and wrote: “The workplace is a defining focus for many Americans, a place where working people spend much of their lives earning an income, exercising creativity and connecting with colleagues and customers. This health emergency is sending shock waves across the working world, an impact with no precedent in modern times and no quick end in sight.”

Lempinen focused on “a jarring new perspective on the gap between the working poor and workers in more secure positions.”

Saru Jayaraman, director of Berkeley’s Food Labor Research Center, told Lempinen that millions of workers are “not making enough money to stay home, even if they got minimum wage for every hour that they’re off sick. It’s not enough to pay rent and bills.”

Clark Kellogg, a lecturer at the Haas School of Business, said, “For white-collar workers, orders to work from home will raise a host of questions about motivation, productivity and the impact of isolation.

But it may also inspire workplace innovation.”

“As it goes on longer and longer, there will be a n

Letters to the Editor Tiny houses EDITOR: ’m writing this letter as I read the March 11 issue of the Mountain Democrat, “Tiny houses for the homeless.”

I, for one, am very happy to hear of some help for the homeless. First of all, this would be temporary, not permanent.

It makes me so sad to see folks who are not as fortunate as us — sleeping on sidewalks and under bushes.

Tiny houses, sure, they’re garden sheds, but most important is the folks who are lucky enough to get to live in the tiny homes are safe and warm.

CONNIE ROSEN Pollock Pines

I

What’s your excuse, Mr. McClintock?

EDITOR: ’ll repeat what Rosalyn Flynn factually stated in her letter to the editor. “Tom McClintock voted against (a) coronavirus help bill for his reason about people going on welfare rather than working.”

I received a few days ago a personal telephone call from his opponent, Brynne Kennedy, asking me how I and my family were functioning under this pandemic. I have not heard one word from “your” congressman during this crisis. What’s his excuse?

I and my husband will be voting for Brynne Kennedy in November as our next congresswoman.

She will represent us as she is someone who truly cares about the people she will serve. I certainly hope you will join me.

DEB BASHAM Camino

I

Christians unite EDITOR: his letter is an appeal to Christians.

We who call ourselves Christians have an obligation to intercede for our nation, according to II Chronicles 7:14. “If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

God expects us to actively represent Him on Earth.

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall (of righteousness) and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” — Ezekiel 22:30 How does God feel when we do not intercede? “…

He was appalled that there was no one to intervene, so His own arm worked salvation for Him.” — Isaiah 59:16 God was appalled only twice in scripture; both

T

times it was due to our unwillingness to intervene for the nation.

Why are we alive in this place at this time? “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10 By what authority do we do God’s work? After Jesus was crucified, He appeared before His disciples. “Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father sent Me, I am sending you.’” — John 20:21 If we claim to be disciples of Christ, we must do the work Jesus wants us to accomplish at this time. “(Jesus) breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’” John 20:22 I believe we Christians are here now to pray over our land, to forgive sins (starting with our own) and to intercede to re-establish righteousness in America. This nation was established to permit Christians to freely worship God and study the Bible. We are to unite and rise up to return this country to covenant status as truly being one nation under God.

Pigmaylean EDITOR: s you all (should) know in 2007 we had a “crash” of the “economy.” Actually it was a banker’s panic. Some governmental idiots had “erased” all controls on mortgage loans and the bankers were stupid enough to give everybody that could “fog a mirror” a no-job, no-credit, no-moneydown loan. And some people were actually surprised when the “whole world” went into foreclosure. And the Dow-Jones tanked — from around 12,000 to 6,000. Not-to-worry. The “government” (i.e. you and me) bailed out the banks. (Of course the people lost their houses.)

Fast (or slow) forward to today. Since the 2007 “crash” the market has soared to as high as 28,000plus.

Let’s take a brief moment for sanity. In the “old days” an investor would judge the value of a company’s stock by its price-to-earnings ratio. I’m no financial guru, but I am brought to believe that at “rational” ratios the “market” was probably fairly “priced” at the 12,000 to 14,000 level. In the last few days it has fluctuated around 20,000 to 23,000.

There is an age-old axiom in stock market lore: “Bulls get rich. Bears get rich. Pigs go broke.” Caveat emptor.

P.S. Can you guess how this will affect the general economy?

The Not So Weekly Daley

Is it over yet? I luckily found one good mask

I

know it isn’t over yet but thought I’d try to hurry it along.

I dug around in a chest of drawers in the garage where I keep a lot of my tools, nails, screws, brads, tacks and protective eye wear that’s so old looking through it reminds me Chris of when I had cataracts 30-some years ago but the visibility is worse.

But to the point, I remembered that I might have a face mask left over from about the time I had cataracts.

Sure enough, there it was, way in the back of the bottom drawer, and it’s an N95. I had no idea. I got it for painting or chain sawing back when I used to do those kinds of useful activities.

It’s kind of dusty and grubby and

has a “Caution” printed on the front advising the user not to misuse it lest it cause discomfort or even death. That was sobering, especially noting that it doesn’t advise what specific “misuse” one might contemplate during the actual use thereof.

An hour later I had Daley occasion to try it out for the first time this century. I wore it to an appointment at the county’s Senior Legal Office at the Health Department building on Spring Street in Placerville.

Not just the mask either — I also gloved-up with a pair of vinyl (not latex) sterile gloves. With the mask on my face my glasses fogged up something awful so I pulled it down a little lower and closer to the tip of my nose. That was a lot better and I was

able to read the documents we’d gone there to sign. Signing with the glove on was trickier than I would have imagined, probably because they were sized for a smaller hand than mine.

The appointment was a make-up for the original appointment that was canceled a couple weeks ago when the county closed that building due to snow.

When our legal office representative, Kristen, came back to her desk after copying our original documents she also brought a large pair of sterile gloves for me. How nice was that!

And they’re a cerulean blue, my favorite color partly because the name sounds so cool and exotic.

On the way to the car I pulled the mask off and before starting the car, I pulled off the gloves. They were soaking wet inside, which made it harder to get them off. I threw them into the paper bag I use for trash and such when motoring. So far, the

Senior Legal experience has been the highlight of my week.

The second highlight was getting the Blue Apron box Tuesday afternoon and disinfecting all the tomatoes and spinach leaves and zucchini and everything else inside the box.

Just to clarify, making and eating the meal was the highlight rather than the cleaning of all the disparate ingredients.

Assuming I’m still upright, above ground and breathing two weeks from now maybe I’ll entertain you with copies of a couple of my favorite recipes. Till then, stay safe and help keep someone else safe.

One other highlight: The arrest and charging of a federal crime against that pastor in Louisiana for disobeying the laws against driving his parishioners to his church for services — for the second time.

Messages of inspiration appear in Placerville in the midst of worry over the coronavirus pandemic that has changed the way of life, not only in El Dorado County, but worldwide. Positivity is proliferated in notes written on flags posted along the fence at the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour on Coloma Street in Placerville, above, where services have been halted temporarily due to the health emergency ... but obviously there’s no stopping the sharing of hope. Similar thoughts are contained in the display windows at Robinson’s Pharmacy on Main Street in Placerville, left photo, that feature sweeping calligraphy by Wendy Thomas, whose husband Dennis owns the store. Wendy began sharing her faith and positive thoughts in this public venue the day the county made it mandatory for residents to shelter in place, to isolate in their own homes, in an effort to prevent the virus’ deadly spread.

rush to do workarounds,” Kellogg said. “When what we usually do doesn’t work anymore, we invent something new. And that innovation is usually done by line workers who just have to get the job done.

They get out the proverbial baling wire and duct tape and make something happen.”

A teacher can work from home, Jesse Rothstein, director of Berkeley’s Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, told Lempinen, “But you can’t tell the store cashier to work from home. You

can’t tell the food service worker to work from home. It’s disproportionately the lowest income people, and they can’t live for a couple months without income.”

Defining work legally is a matter for the courts and lawmakers. Now we also must, due to a medical crisis, define it existentially.

In less than three weeks the recall petition garnered more than 400 signatures.

Sacco maintains he neglected to read the letter before signing it and regrets the ambiguity of its contents.

“I have publicly apologized for the fact that it is the first letter in threeand-a-half years that I allowed to go out under my signature without first reading it,” Sacco said. “It did not reflect the precise intent of the board.”

Sacco asserts the letter was composed to express concerns only if the Board of Supervisors votes in favor of the CEDHSP, subsequently sending a follow up letter stating, “Our board neither opposes or supports the Serrano Associates CEDHSP application.”

Other issues Baker has with recent changes made by the board include the prohibition of video or audio recording of meetings other than by the official videographer. In addition, member discussion of an agenda topic after the public comment segment has concluded is now tightly controlled.

“If members wanted to speak on a topic, the board would vote to approve or deny it,” Baker said.

Baker explained the decision to recall the board as a whole was made not only due to the difficulty in singling out one or two board members, but also because of the lack of response after complaints were raised regarding the letter’s direct opposition to many homeowners’ attitudes toward the CEDHSP. “No one has stepped forward,” noted Baker. “No one has taken ownership.

And the follow-up letter does not communicate the concerns of the homeowners.”

Sacco is adamant that he and his fellow board members have been diligent in their commitment to do right by the Serrano community, including the correction of deficit

spending, distorted financial statements and operational deficiencies. “We fixed these issues,” he said. “We’ve been working on really positive things, such as ending the Mello-Roos and improving services in maintenance and security.”

Sacco claims the recall petition is being driven by a group determined to oppose anything done by the board, having been voted out of the board in a previous election. “It’s an opportunistic grab to regain control and driven by personal vendettas,” he said, assuring the recall would have a significant negative impact on the community should they succeed.

“We’re supposed to represent the best interest of the entire community, not a cabal of discontented people who have their own view of the world,” Sacco said of his duty to reflect neighborhood interests. “I don’t believe they represent the majority of homeowners.”

The recall comes at an awkward time as the Serrano board recently announced the kick off of its regular election cycle in which George Triano and Sacco himself are up for reelection. The board has no legal authority to change timeframes for either election and is therefore forced to conduct the regular election mere weeks prior to the recall ballots being released.

The recall ballot will be mailed April 28 in conjunction with a ballot for a new board in the event that the recall is approved. Residents will have 30 days to return their ballots.

The results will be announced at a board meeting held at 2 p.m. May 29 at the Norm Rowett Pavilion.

Recall notifications and candidate solicitation documents were­­­sent out last month.

“I want people who will listen to me,” Neher said of the Serrano board.

“I don’t think I’m getting that.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a group project in the works, and each person has different needs. Don’t let the conversation focus on egos involved. Instead, keep things on track by pointing all energies toward resolving the issues.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Dreams have been called postcards from another world, an interior landscape where a different language is spoken. The awake and reasonable part of you could crack some of this subconscious code today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It would be easy to blame circumstances for the things you don’t have time for today, but that goes against your sense of responsibility. Instead, you’ll make extra efforts to prioritize what matters to you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Unfamiliar people are much easier to read after you’ve dropped all assumptions and released the need to rush to an assessment. Ask questions instead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you may doubt your path, don’t turn back. Forward march. The scenery will get better up ahead. The time to change is when you’re certain. Give yourself the leeway to toy with ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can occupy the present without being there. Your internal reality is constantly reaching into the future, back to the past or to the realms where the opinions and stories exist. Bringing yourself to the present moment takes effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You appreciate easy, delightful hours but you don’t expect every moment to be a smooth adventure. This helps you take on challenges without the stress and drama that comes with thinking things should be different.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you had all the money you could possibly spend, then would you still be doing this work you’re doing today? If not, what work would you still be willing to do? A job you love won’t feel like a job at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What should you do with the thoughts and actions that run at crosspurposes with what you want? Drop them. Decide what to do and then tell yourself that it’s as good as done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The routines of your day are the basis for your happiness. Any steps to tweak them, even slightly, toward thinking and feeling better will, over time, make a huge difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll casually put your proposal on the table. You may consider letting people peek at the deal while telling them that it’s not available.

All people wants what they can’t have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s something in the way you communicate with your loved ones that cannot be duplicated. You’re special. Know this and expect your people to keep coming back for what only you can deliver.

Each to-go container must be transported in the trunk or in another unoccupied area of a vehicle. Establishments will be required to display that rule in some manner.

“We mix all of our cocktails fresh each morning and because of that our cocktail selection to-go is

limited,” Thoma said. “With minimal staff we can hopefully do some business and the word will get out.

We have loyal customers who like our specialty drinks.”

In addition to restaurants, restrictions have loosened on craft distilleries, which will be allowed to take delivery orders of up to 2.25

liters per person per day.

Alcohol sales can comprise approximately 30% of restaurant revenue according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

Some other local restaurants are offering to-go cocktails as well, so give them a ring.

Property tax deadline remains in place, delinquencies may be waived K.E. Coleman El Dorado County Treasurer-Tax Collector “We understand and share the public’s anxiety and concern about the impacts of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

County tax collectors cannot change the April 10 delinquent date for the second installment of property taxes because the date is established by state law,” said K. E. Coleman, treasurer-tax collector.

“However, I am committed to helping in every way allowable under the law.

Under very specific circumstances, we may waive penalties resulting from tax delinquency for those who can demonstrate that they have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus.”

Penalty cancellation request forms can be requested after April 10. The forms must be accompanied by documentation that proves the reason for the request (i.e. proof of hospitalization or loss of job).

Please note: As COVID-19 continues to evolve, circumstances will change.

That being said, the documentation requirements are still a work in progress.

Property owners who can pay their taxes on time are asked to make their

payments. Vital county services, such as emergency response, law enforcement, public health, schools and other local financial obligations are dependent on these scheduled revenues.

State and federal income tax deadlines have been moved, bringing relief to those directly impacted, as well as broader economic relief to the state and nation. The state and federal government have been able to provide this income tax relief because most income tax revenues have already been collected on a per-paycheck basis or through quarterly tax filings.

State and federal governments have far greater resources than local government, including the ability to print money and the ability to provide other forms of economic stability and relief through monetary policies and other tools.

With the April 10 date just around the corner, the following are some payment reminders: • Payments may be made online via the tax collector’s website at edcgov.us/ taxcollector. All major credit cards are accepted.

• The third-party online processing vendor charges a fee of 1.95% for credit

year through online and distance learning. District officials asked for “patience and understanding as (they) are all quickly transitioning into a new way of teaching and learning to meet the health and safety impacts of COVID–19.”

Food service is still available on-site at most campuses.

There were 18 cases of coronavirus in El Dorado County residents as of Thursday morning.

Signage for a detour will be posted on affected roadways. Motorists are encouraged to take alternate routes around the area that bypass the closures.

Changeable message signs will be placed on Greenstone Road by Monday, April 13, notifying motorists of the upcoming closure. The message signs will be used to update motorists of any changes to the length of the closure during construction.

The rest of the council strongly disagreed with Wallace, saying small business owners would be hurt more than property owners. In the end, Wallace stuck to her original opinion.

precipitation. In one year, California has gone from having the fifth best recorded snowpack to one of the 10 worst.

“Over the last decade California’s snowpack has been alternating between extremely wet and extremely dry,” said Sean de Guzman, chief of DWR’s Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecast Section. “In the past 10 years we’ve seen three of our smallest snowpacks on record but we’ve also seen three of our largest snowpacks on record.”

On average the snowpack supplies about 30% of California’s water needs as it melts in the spring and early summer.

The state’s six largest reservoirs currently hold between 82% (San Luis) and 125% (Melones) of their historical averages for this date. Lake Shasta, California’s largest surface reservoir, is 98% of its historical average and sits at 79% of capacity.

Williams said midday Wednesday that residents are for the most part following state and county directives, despite some reported abuse.

“I think the general impression is that our community members on average are doing a pretty good job,” she said during a conference call. “You just have to go to a commercial area and see that businesses are closed and there are rarely people walking on the streets.”

Williams added that it “could be a while” before county officials can conclude that social distancing efforts had slowed transmission of the virus.

While the county’s directive is tentatively set to subside at the beginning of May, local schools are set to close until the summer.

The El Dorado County Office of Education announced Wednesday evening the suspension of all in-person classes through the school year.

The announcement came in the wake of Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond declaring this week that The Newpublic York Times Syndication Sales Corporation California schools are unlikely to reopen this school year.

Gold fever struck many who ventured out to California in the mid-19th century.

Learn about their adventures by taking an Anytime Tour. Below, the Hamilton Square Garden at City Cemetery is a lovely place to virtually visit, especially if you have allergies.

S

ACRAMENTO — Originally launched in 2018, a free website and app for iOS and Android devices is available online that takes users on a journey through some of the more amazing moments in Sacramento’s history. “Anytime Tours” feature 50-minute digital walking tours through the historical City Cemetery and Old Sacramento highlighted by 10 stops at each location (that can be explored all at once or in part as time allows).

At their convenience and on their timetable (from the comfort of their homes), digital tour participants can explore and experience a new side of what life was like in 19th century Sacramento with gripping true stories that follow in the footsteps of murderers, ne’er-do-wells and common citizens alike.

“These fun and free digital tours are an entertaining way to rediscover a place you thought you knew,” said Delta Pick Mello, executive director of the Sacramento History Alliance. “Local actors take you back in time to discover how wild the 19th century really was in Sacramento.

It was certainly not for the faint of heart but a persevering spirit shines through then as it does even now.”

Presented by the Center for Sacramento History and Sacramento History Museum, the tour can be accessed at anytimetours.oncell.com or downloaded free of charge from the App Store or Google Play by searching Anytime Tours.

About the Sacramento History Alliance In partnership with the city and county of Sacramento, the Sacramento History Alliance operates the Sacramento History Museum, creates interpretive programs in Old Sacramento and supports programs, events and collections care at the Center for Sacramento History. With a vision to inspire and connect people through history, the Sacramento History Alliance encourages people to explore our shared history through exhibitions, educations and programs, while supporting collections, preservation and partnerships.

“McMillion$” can be watched on HBO Go, HBO Now and On-Demand.

Besides the unfortunate prop mistake, the material is very well crafted.

While effectively shot and edited, I can’t help but wonder if this story could have been told in half the time, making it one three-hour documentary film. If “The Act of Killing” (2012) and “The Central Park Five” (2012) can make it work in under three hours, so could have “McMillion$.”

It’s an interesting expose that straddles the line between corruption and empathy with ease, allowing those that broke

the law to be human beings who made mistakes and are looking for forgiveness. It deserves a viewing if you can handle the marathon to get through it but might have been better served as a six-part Serial-esq podcast.

Wineries celebrate sustainability in April Wine Institute News release April is California Wines Down to Earth Month, an annual tribute to the California winemaking community’s decades-long commitment to sustainable winegrowing. Created by Wine Institute, the association of 1,000 California wineries, the monthlong celebration highlights winery and business practices that ensure the health and vibrancy of the land, communities and the industry for generations to come.

While taking care of the environment is a key element of sustainability, promoting the well-being of employees and the community is equally important.

Following California Governor Newsom’s statewide order for Californians to stay at home to help curtail the spread of COVID19, California wineries have suspended all public tastings and events. While essential winery and vineyard production and business operations as well as purchase and pick-up of wine are permitted, this directive presents challenges for the state’s predominantly small, family owned operations.

However, vintners recognize that this is the right thing to do.

In previous years California wineries have celebrated Down to Earth Month by offering sustainability focused events across the state. This year many of California’s sustainable wineries offer special discounts on wine and shipping fees. Wine consumers can still enjoy their favorite California wines at home and support wineries during this challenging time by ordering from winery websites, purchasing and picking up at wineries or signing up for wine clubs.

April is California Wines Down to Earth Month, a yearly tribute to California winemakers’ sustainable winegrowing.

California is a global leader in sustainable winegrowing and home to one of the world’s most widely adopted sustainable winegrowing programs in terms of both winegrape acreage and case production. As of 2019, 149 wineries producing more than 85% of California’s total wine production are Certified California Sustainable.

In terms of vineyards, 44% of statewide wine acreage is certified by Certified California Sustainable and by other state sustainability programs, including Lodi Rules, Napa Green and Sustainability in Practice (SIP).

All of these programs play an important role in the California wine community’s efforts to produce high quality wine that is environmentally sound, socially equitable and economically feasible.

Established in 1934, Wine Institute is the public policy advocacy group of 1,000 California wineries and affiliated

businesses that initiates and advocates state, federal and international public policy to enhance the environment for the responsible production, consumption and enjoyment of wine. The organization works to enhance the economic and environmental health of the state through its leadership in sustainable winegrowing and a partnership with Visit California to showcase California’s wine and food offerings and the state as a top travel destination.

The California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance promotes the benefits of sustainable practices, enlists industry commitment, implements the Sustainable Winegrowing Program and administers Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing — a third-party certification program for California vineyards, wineries and wines that adheres to international sustainability standards.

NorCal COVID-19 Response Fund here to help Samantha Garcie Sierra Health Foundation SACRAMENTO — The Center at Sierra Health Foundation announces the launch of a rapid response fund to support individuals and families in Northern California most impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis. This includes older adults, low-wage workers and their families, communities of color including Tribal communities, people living in poverty and/or rural isolation, under- and uninsured, unemployed and non-English-proficient residents. The fund will provide direct financial support to nonprofit organizations that serve these populations.

The mission of the Northern California COVID19 Response Fund is to ensure vulnerable families and individuals receive assistance for essential supplies, food, rent, utilities and other basic needs, including access to health and human services, programs and protections available under local, state and federal law.

Sierra Health Foundation and The California Wellness Foundation launched the Northern California COVID-19 Response Fund with a combined investment of $150,000.

The Center will work with additional community organizations and private contributors, including businesses and private donors, to increase the fund and effectively and quickly deploy needed support to Northern California nonprofits working directly with vulnerable community members in a 23-county region. The region includes the counties of Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sutter, Tehama,

Know

Trinity, Tuolumne, Yolo and Yuba.

“Our community members and organizations need immediate relief; this fund allows us to tap into the existing networks and expertise of community organizations to provide needed support to those experiencing the immediate consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Chet P. Hewitt, president and CEO of Sierra Health Foundation and The Center, which has also launched response funds in Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley. “We are proud to spend our time, energy and dollars to build a bridge to necessary statewide and federal assistance for families, individuals and organizations in Northern California.”

Individuals and institutions can make donations through the Donate4NorCal website. Donors are able to direct their donations through the Donate4NorCal COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund to any of the listed priority areas: • Promote family economic stability • Support for vulnerable children and families • Support services for older adults • Services for those who are unhoused and those who live in over-crowded housing • Nonprofit flexible support “The Sierra Health Foundation is a trusted funding partner with whom we share a deep commitment to advancing health equity in our state,” said Judy Belk, president and CEO of The California Wellness Foundation. “This pandemic will disproportionally impact vulnerable communities in parts of California where the need is high and the resources are limited.

Addressing this crisis will require continued and collaborative efforts in both the nearterm and months to come as communities deal with the devastating impact of COVID-19. We

applaud Chet and his team in helping us ensure emergency funds reach all of California.”

The Center at Sierra Health Foundation will administer the funds, deploying directly to organizations working closely in neighborhoods and communities throughout Northern California.

About The Center at SHF The Center at Sierra Health Foundation works to promote health and racial equity in communities throughout California with local, state and national partners.

With offices in Sacramento and Fresno, The Center was developed by Sierra Health Foundation at a time when nonprofits and public agencies throughout California faced diminishing resources and rapidly increasing needs.

Operating as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Center brings people, ideas and infrastructure together to create a collective impact that reduces this trend. The Center helps communities access proven practices while tapping into their existing resources, knowledge and creativity to identify strategies for a healthier community.

Leveraging leadership, operational and funding support from Sierra Health Foundation and its partners, The Center establishes investment partnerships with public and private funders, community members, community organizations, national, state and local government agencies, nonprofits and businesses. Taken together, each partner’s unique insights, perspectives and resources make the work of The Center possible and clear the way for a healthier California.

aintaining a healthy lifestyle includes a variety of commitments, from exercising to eating right.

However, serving up healthy meals doesn’t have to be boring.

From earthy and nutty black ripe olives to rich and fruity kalamata olives, Lindsay adds a hearty and flavorful punch to just about any dish, including soups, salads and main courses.

Plus, these fruits are cholesterol-free, high in “good fats” and low in carbohydrates and calories, making them an ideal ingredient for keto, Mediterranean and paleo diets.

Whether they help elevate dishes like Taco-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash and Baked Eggs Puttanesca or are simply enjoyed as a snack, olives are a guilt-free food to ensure your healthy mealtime is anything but boring.

NOTICE OF PUBlIC HEARING The County of El Dorado Planning Commission will hold a public hearing in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room, 330 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 on April 23, 2020, at 8:30 a.m., to consider the first reading of the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance amendments submitted by EL DORADO COUNTY to add two Meyers Area Plan zoning districts to Chapter 130.41.300 - Retail Sale, Distribution, Indoor Cultivation, Laboratory Testing, and Manufacturing of Commercial Cannabis. The proposed amendments would allow for commercial cannabis Distribution Facilities, Retail Sale and Delivery Facilities and limited Manufacturing Facilities to the Meyers Community Center District (MAP-1) and would allow for commercial cannabis Indoor Cultivation, Distribution Facilities, Delivery Facilities, Testing Laboratories, and Manufacturing Facilities to the Meyers Industrial District (MAP-2), subject to specific regulations. The proposed amendments would also eliminate the 500 foot separation to a residential zoning district in Meyers, due to the mixed use nature of the parcel structure in Meyers where residences are in close proximity to commercial land uses. Finally, the proposed amendments would allow for one (1) additional Retail Storefront within the Meyers Area Plan boundary. (County Contact: Brendan Ferry, 530-573-7905) (Exemption pursuant to Section 26055(h) of the Business and Professions Code) Agenda, drafts of the proposed ordinance amendments and staff reports are available prior at https://eldorado.legistar. com/Calendar.aspx.
