Stepmom sentenced in Roman Lopez death Thomas Frey Staff writer Just before Lindsay Piper was sentenced to 15 years to life for the 2020 murder of her stepson Roman Lopez, the 11-year-old’s family passionately spoke about the boy and Piper as a provider.

Roman was reported missing in January 2020, then found dead in a Coloma Street rental house in Placerville where his father Jordan Piper, Lindsay and seven other children were staying.

Lindsay and Jordan were arrested and charged in 2021 and on May 16 of this year, Lindsay changed her plea to no contest for second-degree murder.

Other charges against Lindsay were dropped as part of the plea.

El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Vicki Ashworth noted that from March 1, 2018, to Jan. 11, 2020, Roman was subjected to being ziptied to a bed by his fingers; zip-tied in a closet with one arm extended above

his head and one arm extending in the opposite direction below his waist; being forced to sleep in a closet; and not being provided with sufficient nutrition and hydration.

“At the time of his death this poor boy weighed a mere 42 pounds — the same weight he was when he was 5 years old,” Ashworth said. “You didn’t deserve to be his stepmother, quite frankly. The court can think of no more evil person.”

Carson and Brock Garvin — Lindsay’s sons and two of the seven children living in Placerville at the time of the murder — spoke out in court Friday.

Carson said the children were trained to lie to authorities about how they were being raised, and even to lie about Jordan Piper.

“Even when Roman died her biggest concern was to call us together and tell us how to lie and blame Jordan for everything before the police started n

NCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Lake Tahoe clarity has not improved, nor has it gotten worse in the last 20 years, officials announced last week.

The UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center last week released findings from its annual Lake Tahoe Clarity Report, which showed average clarity of 61 feet for 2021. Clarity is measured by how deep a 10-inch white plate, called a Secchi disk, can be lowered into Lake Tahoe before it becomes invisible from the surface.

The cobalt blue waters of Lake Tahoe were about as clear in 2021 as they were in 2020 but a broader look at clarity measurements shows there is

— Geoffrey Schladow, director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center no pattern of consistent clarity improvement over the past 20 years, UC Davis officials said.

UC Davis has measured clarity and other health indicators at Lake Tahoe since 1968, helping to inform policymakers and stakeholders on strategies to protect the lake and stabilize the decline in clarity that dates back to the region’s development boom in the 1960s.

Recent years have presented

evolving and new threats to Lake Tahoe as climate warming, floods, droughts and wildfires impact the lake in ways that are not fully understood, according to the UC Davis report.

“The lake itself is changing internally and the external inputs that impact clarity and lake health are changing at the same time,” said Geoffrey Schladow, director of the UC Davis n

David Pava

Feb. 23, 1949 – July 7, 2022

David Lauren Pava, 73, of Shingle Springs, Calif., passed away July 7 after a battle with cancer.

David was born Feb. 23, 1949 to Jacob Pava and Esther Shub Pava in San Francisco. After graduating from Westmoor High School in 1967, David went on to serve in the U.S. Coast Guard where he worked in aviation maintenance, graduated from California State University, San Francisco in 1973 and received an MBA in marketing from Saint Mary’s College.

David was a true “Renaissance man” — a winemaker, antique car restorer, airplane pilot, train aficionado, celebrated cook, gardener, college instructor and successful entrepreneur. Equally fascinated by the high-tech sector and vintage machinery, his career spanned from the burgeoning personal computer industry in the Bay Area, to pursuing his passion of opening an antique car touring company in Napa’s wine country — and everything in-between. Career highlights included being named President of Byte Computers (Apple’s first retail seller), co-founding the company that created picture-in-picture television, 20 years as VP of Sales and Marketing for MarCole Interactive Systems and teaching business courses at St. Mary’s College and Chabot College.

In his later years, David and his wife Pat moved to Shingle Springs, planted an orchard and vineyard on their 5-acre property and he taught himself winemaking. His wines have won dozens of accolades, including numerous golds, Best of Show and Best of Class awards.

David belonged to many organizations, including serving as President of the Horseless Carriage Club (Bay Area and Northern California regional groups), and director of the NorCal Packards. He was a member of the Hangtown A’s, Pacific Packard Classics and past President of the El Dorado Home Winemakers Club.

Raised Jewish in an orthodox household, David chose to re-identify as a Humanist — one who believes there can be “good without God.” He believed strongly in the core Humanist values of civil rights, woman’s rights, LGBTQ equality, environment and population dynamics, church and state separation, promoting peace, death with dignity and responsible scientific freedom.

David is survived by his wife of 26 years Patricia (Pat) Pava; his three children Aaron Pava, Adam Pava, and Michelle Honchariw and his beloved dog Bogey who was always by his side. He was the proud grandfather of nine grandchildren; Ben, Matt, Lauson, Jaidyn, Astrid, Bodhi, Alvy, Pax and Daisy.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

Karen Rae Skaggs

Aug. 1, 1947 – April 28, 2022

Karen Rae Skaggs passed peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of April 28 in Sherwood, Ore., at the age of 74.

Karen was born on Aug. 1, 1947, in Santa Rosa, Calif., to David and Karmona Schieck.

She attended high school at Napa High and went on to be a wife and a mother. Although she had jobs here and there she was best known for being the keeper of the family. She was always the one to reach out and communicate with the family near and far, through good and bad times. In her younger years she liked to do canvas painting and eventually found a love for making quilts for her family and grandchildren and painting tea towels for everyone. Karen enjoyed watching her favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants and she was a devoted NASCAR fan.

Karen is survived by her husband of 48 years Jonathan Skaggs. She is dearly remembered by her four children; Heide Gemmill, Holly Kellison, Brandie Withrow and Jonathan Skaggs and their spouses Bryce Gemmill, Chad Withrow; Kaitlin Skaggs and nine grandchildren. She is also survived by her twin sister Sharon McCune, her husband Carl McCune and older sister Sheryl Allgood.

As our family grieves from this unexpected passing, we also celebrate her life with a reminder to embrace each other with love, kindness and joy as tomorrow is never promised.

Karen’s final resting place will be by her mother at Tulocay Cemetery, Napa, Calif., on July 15.

LeRoy Lawrence Peters

July 16, 1932 – June 16, 2022

LeRoy Lawrence Peters, age 89, passed away Thursday, June 16 and will be laid to rest at Westwood Hills Memorial Park in Placerville, Calif.

A celebration of life service and reception will be held at 2 p.m., July 17 at El Dorado Federated Church, 1031 Thompson Way, Placerville.

LeRoy was born in the country near the small Minnesota town of Jeffers. His life was extraordinary for all the ways he embraced the ordinary. With hard work, faith and adventure, he built a family, business and strong sense of community. His Dutch German parents, Gerhard and Hattie Peters, raised LeRoy, the oldest of 32 first cousins and his younger sister Deloris, on farms surrounded by caring aunts and uncles.

Attending a one room schoolhouse through eighth grade, and graduating from Jeffers High School, LeRoy, at 17, met the love of his life, Arlene Marie Roberts.

LeRoy enlisted in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict and married Arlene in 1953 while stationed at Travis Air Force Base where their first child, Douglas, was born in 1954. After the service, LeRoy’s studies took them from Berkeley to Modesto and then Fresno where he completed a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and their daughter, Susan, was born in 1958.

The Peters family moved to Stockton, Reno and Livermore as LeRoy began his career before settling in Sacramento’s Arden Park in 1964. In 1969 LeRoy launched Peters Engineering which continues to this day. As empty-nesters, LeRoy and Arlene began their next adventure in 1978 on 163 rolling acres they called Deerhaven Ranch.

Federated Church became a cornerstone where they left their mark while traveling extensively across the globe as well as the U.S. often with close friends.

In 1992 LeRoy and Arlene moved to a 10-acre estate in nearby Camino. Whether Deerhaven or the “Camino House,” their home was a gathering place. From Thanksgivings with bonfires to tractor rides for the grandkids, life was good even with Arlene’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s four years later. LeRoy cared for her himself for many years before moving to a historical house in town and Arlene’s passing in 2006, led to even more community service and devotion to family and friends. He was known for his larger-thanlife presence, cruising down Main Street in his electric car, an ice-chest trunk and his faithful dog, Loafer, at his side.

In 2015 LeRoy enjoyed his final chapter in a Placerville retirement community with his characteristic contagious and caring spirit. In 2019 he developed multiple myeloma, successfully achieving remission just last fall, until exactly one month before his 90th birthday LeRoy died of COVID-19 pneumonia. He is survived by his son Douglas Peters and wife Holly; daughter Susan Wendleton and husband Dave; sister Deloris Mann and husband Gerry; nieces, nephews, cousins, nine grandchildren, and 11 greatgrandchildren with a 12th on the way!

LeRoy was but one man in the world, but he was everything to us. He filled a room, filled our hearts and was a living example of what it means to extend yourself for another. Life is good, he’d say, when we are willing to see the good, because it is always there.

Claude L. Dunn

Jan. 29, 1938 – June 28, 2022

Claude Lawrence Dunn died peacefully with loved ones by his side, on June 28. He was 84.

Claude was born Jan. 29, 1938 in Cary, Ill., though treasured most his years in Wisconsin, especially on Goose Lake where he learned to love fishing and family, poems and puns. He served in the U.S. Navy, specializing in electronics and serving as First Radio Man on a P5M Seaplane, based in Japan, patrolling the Pacific Ocean. From the Navy he moved to Alaska’s Cape Newenham as communications field engineer, then on to California to marry, start a family and found his business — NDT-West. But Japan wasn’t quite finished with him, so he went back, this time as a consultant with General Electric doing nuclear reactor inspections.

After moving to Diamond Springs and then El Dorado (and opening Books ‘N Bears), he was increasingly called upon for his lay preaching, eventually becoming the ordained pastor at El Dorado Community Church (Congregational), where he served for 21 years. He stood by his conviction that reading scripture aloud, sticking to the Word of God in his sermons and loving his neighbors would fill the pews. He sang in the choir and played Santa Claus each year in community Christmas celebrations.

While building his business and then the Church, he also took time to play — with one of his favorite ways to relax being on a houseboat at Lake Shasta with good friends and family members. He passed on his love of lakes to each of his children, teaching them to fish, swim, love music and cherish each other.

Upon retiring, Claude married Joyce Amlick and they spent time boating on Lake Shasta and Clear Lake, as well as in Gilbert and White Mountain Lake, Ariz. Always up for a challenge, Claude and Joy moved to Arroyo Grande, Calif., in the middle of the pandemic.

Claude is survived by his wife Joyce; children Kathleen Dunn of Redding, Deborah Dunn (and son-in-law Keith Yeager) of Santa Barbara, Matthew Dunn of Sacramento and sister Judy Freyder of Fresno. He was preceded by his son Michael. Claude will be remembered by friends and family as a strong man of faith, an eloquent preacher and a loving father and husband.

A memorial service will be held at the El Dorado Community Church, 4701 Church St., El Dorado, Saturday, July 16 at 10:30 a.m.

John (JB) Ray Berry Jr. May 9, 1970 – June 15, 2022

JB has left this life as we know it to be with our father in the heaven above. He is in our Father’s arms now and is truly missed; for we will be together again very soon.

He is survived by his wife Sarah; daughter Mya; mother Linda; dad John Sr.; brother Tim and lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and so many friends.

A celebration of life will be Saturday, July 16 by the Beer Tree at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds at 11 a.m.

CHOOSING AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH Many electric toothbrush models provide a deeper clean than manual ones. Choosing an electric toothbrush is, in some ways, much like choosing a manual toothbrush: the head size should be small enough to reach your back teeth, the bristles should be soft and contoured instead of hard and straight, and the handle should provide a firm grip. But when it comes to head and bristle vibration, an oscillating motion is best. Bristles that simply vibrate provide no benefit over a manual toothbrush. Another feature to look for is a range of settings, such as different cleaning modes, a pressure censor, and a self-timer.

Without these personalized settings, electric toothbrush oscilla-

California Matters

Will more school money improve academic outcomes?

C

alifornia’s K-12 schools and their nearly 6 million students received a multi-billion-dollar additional infusion of cash in the budget that Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators enacted last month, raising per-pupil spending to a recordDan Walters high level.

In all, the budget will provide schools with an average of about $24,000 a year for each student, doubling what it was just a few years ago, with a formula that provides extra allocations to school districts with high numbers of poor and English-learner students.

Those extra funds are being distributed via the Local Control Funding Formula, a plan adopted a decade ago to close what is called the “achievement gap” between those children — roughly 60% of the state’s K-12 students — and the more privileged 40%.

Spending $24,000 per student appears to California schools propel California into are getting a the upper ranks of the states, although making big infusion of such comparisons financing, but it’s is tricky. Different uncertain whether organizations use different numbers, some more money will adjust numbers for the translate into cost of living and the better academic data are always a few years out of date. outcomes.

The main problem with such comparisons, however, is they assume that spending money equates to educational outcomes when, in fact, it doesn’t. If one takes any list of what states spend on schools and compares it to results of the federal government’s academic testing program, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, there is absolutely no correlation between spending and achievement.

Some states that spend heavily, such as New Jersey, also excel in NAEP’s measures of reading and mathematics competence but others, such as neighboring New York, are mediocre at best.

Likewise, states that are below average or even at the bottom of spending lists are often in the academic upper tier, such as Iowa, Utah and Colorado. But some low-spending states also rank poorly in testing, such as Mississippi.

Washington, D.C., schools have the highest perpupil spending in the nation but are dead last in academics.

Letters to the Editor Bribery?

EDITOR:

M

r. Longhofer thinks that corporations that allow people to band together to support or oppose laws and political positions is bribery. Just about everybody who supports or opposed anything is incorporated. This includes the likes of BLM, Sierra Club, League of Women Voters, NAACP and on and on. Surprising that a liberal like Mr. Longhofer wants to silence these people.

GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Racism EDITOR: ’ve been accused of being racist because of my political point of view. That might explain how some people don’t seem to have a problem accusing a Black police officer or a female Hispanic Republican Congresswoman of being racist.

I want someone to explain why Spanish people are considered white in their country but not in the U.S., but I digress.

What has happened is the woke culture no longer cares about what race you are; to them, their political point of view determines if you are racist or not.

The hatred of the “Karens” was illustrated when the first female Mexican immigrant Mayra Flores won the 34th Congressional District seat in Texas — the first time a Republican has held that seat since 1870. She epitomizes the American dream.

She immigrated here legally and is a healthcare professional. She’s married to a Border Patrol agent.

And now she is being labeled a racist only because of her political points of view and because her husband is a cop.

I want to say thank you, Mayra, for you being you.

Your family is the American Dream. As far as the hatred and abuse that is directed at you go ... well, they can’t help themselves. It’s all they got left.

Rate increases EDITOR: he California Public Utilities Commission is responsible to protect the citizens and ratepayers of California from egregious actions of utility companies operating in California.

Given the history of Pacific Gas and Electric

T

Company, it is evident that the PUC needs to improve its oversight. It appears that each and every rate increase request from PG&E is granted by the PUC without adequate analysis of the justification for these increases by PG&E. While utility companies should receive enough income to exceed expenses, the profits for PG&E far exceed a fair return on their expenses.

PG&E has neglected its equipment for at least 30 years and taken the income that should have been used for maintenance and given it out as bonuses to high-level management and dividends to shareholders. Ratepayers should not be penalized for PG&E neglect. Now PG&E officials say they need to upgrade their equipment to cope with climate change and wildfire risk — and ratepayers should bear these costs.

PG&E has been starting wildfires since at least 2004, when it was found liable for the Power Fire started by faulty equipment. PG&E continued neglecting equipment and thus starting wildfires ever since. PG&E richly deserves the ongoing public and legal scrutiny over its role in igniting deadly wildfires. The PUC needs to be front and center, holding PG&E accountable, requiring PG&E to maintain its equipment and be responsible for the damage and loss of life irresponsible management is causing.

The PUC needs to uphold its responsibility to protect California ratepayers and curtail abuse

by PG&E. The PUC needs to require PG&E to document maintenance of existing equipment, not just push TV advertising for under-grounding power lines. While under-grounding 10,000 mile of electric lines is a worthwhile goal, even PG&E admits it will take at least 10 years to accomplish.

In the meantime, PG&E needs to maintain existing power lines, replace worn-out equipment and protect the public with adequate maintenance instead of turning off electrical service at the least breeze and calling it “public safety power shutoffs.” PG&E statements that “trees fell on the power lines” and that caused wildfires (allows the company to) avoid taking responsibility for its neglect in keeping those lines cleared as is required by law.

The PUC is liable for PG&E’s neglect because the PUC has failed to keep PG&E in compliance with the law and its responsibility to customers. The PUC needs to put an end to the abuse of California ratepayers by PG&E. SUE RODMAN Placerville

In Kennedy v. Bremerton, the court ruled that Bremerton School District violated free exercise of religion and free speech protections of the First Amendment when Bremerton High School fired its football coach for praying at the 50-yard line at the conclusion of football games.

In New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, the court found a New York State law requiring “proper cause,” that is, a special reason to carry a handgun, in violation of the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to bear arms.

As Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked in the hearing of the case, “Why isn’t it good enough to say I live in a violent area and I want to defend myself?”

For Black Americans, who live in some of the most dangerous communities in the nation, the court’s

decision guaranteeing them the right to defend themselves is important and good news.

For Black and Hispanic Americans, whose children are disproportionately trapped in failing public schools, the court’s clarifying protections and guarantees that strengthen the ability for parents to choose where to send the children to school is very good news.

The court’s decisions firming up religious freedom protections of the First Amendment and disabusing the faulty notion that the U.S. Constitution is indifferent to sanctity of life and provides for abortion rights will move Blacks and Hispanics to the political right.

California, until recently, was mediocre in spending and mediocre in NAEP tests. The state’s big increases in spending could bring better academic results, but only if the money is laserfocused on uplifting children who have been left behind rather than subtly diverted into other purposes, as various independent studies have indicated, including a scathing 2019 report from the state auditor’s office.

After delving into the finances of three representative school districts, auditors castigated the state Department of Education for sloppy oversight of LCFF funds. They also criticized school districts for issuing indecipherable and inaccurate reports on how funds were being spent and county offices of education for not fulfilling their designated roles as LCFF monitors.

“We are particularly concerned that the state does not explicitly require districts to spend their supplemental and concentration (LCFF) funds on the intended student groups or to track their spending of those funds,” the report declares.

“Without a means of tracking how districts use funds, state and local policymakers and other local stakeholders lack adequate information to assess the impact of those funds on the outcomes of intended student groups.”

Moreover, a CalMatters investigation into how the state’s schools spent $33.5 billion in one-time state and federal funds to help their students cope with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that much of it was diverted into programs, equipment and other purposes that had little or nothing to do with countering the devastating impacts of at-home schooling.

So will the extra money that Newsom and the Legislature are pumping into the schools really make an academic difference? The record to date is not encouraging.

families and communities.

The recent election of Mayra Flores as a Republican and the first Mexican-born member of Congress is case in point. She garnered 51% of the vote in a district in Texas that has never before elected a Republican. She ran as a candidate raised with “strong conservative values that focused on faith, family and hard work.”

Her campaign poster branded “God, Family, Country” in both English and Spanish.

I truly believe the recent Supreme Court session will sit well in America’s Black and Hispanic communities and gives good reason to expect strong implications for change in the nation’s political landscape.

Winged sprint car driver Michael Faccinto from Hanford went home with his first win in the division Saturday night at Placerville Speedway.

Michael Faccinto has proven to be one of the more versatile drivers in the Golden State and on Saturday night he checked another box off his resume by putting together a dominating run for his initial winged sprint car victory.

Fellow winners on Red Hawk Casino Night at Placerville Speedway were Nick Baldwin with the pure stocks, Thomas Jensen with the mini trucks and Josef Ferolito with the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints.

Faccinto had captured a U.S. Auto Club Western States midget triumph on the red clay in early May, prior to jumping aboard the X1 sprint car later that month. The 25-lap winged sprint car feature had a particularly tough time getting under way, taking four attempts to get one lap scored. Once that happened however, things went green to checkered in no time.

Faccinto pulled away from the rest of the pack and worked traffic to perfection. The 32-year-old was never seriously threatened and controlled the main event with ease on the way to his first career winged sprint car victory. It was a terrific rebound for Faccinto and the X1 team, who failed to qualify for the feature just two races back.

The final laps saw an excellent race between Michael Pombo, Andy Forsberg and Willie Croft. The trio fought it out tooth and nail, with Pombo claiming the runner up spot, which marked a best ever Placerville result for the Easton driver. Pombo has been impressive in limited starts at the track, also earning a podium this past Monday.

Forsberg, Croft and Landon Brooks completed the top five. The remainder of the top 10 was filled out by Colby Johnson, Chase Johnson, Jodie

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a difference between having character and being a character.

You manage to do both in the best sense of it, finding humor in your circumstances and people to laugh with, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a Promethean fire delivering light to your situation today. You’ll think you know and then, suddenly, you’ll see how things really are with stark clarity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Magical transformations happen in increments. It seems like your progress is very slow now, but to someone who hasn’t seen you in a while, it’s like you’ve changed overnight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Communicating well will be an exercise in listening. You’ll observe more than talk, read between the lines and open your heart to subtle information. You’ll intuit what is about to happen and act on your hunches.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be really glad for the experiences you’ve had, the mistakes you’ve made and all you’ve had to overcome. Because you know so much of life, you have stories to tell and ways to help people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t like having to rely on others, but it’s actually a good thing.

You love how it feels to help others. When you let them help you, you’re giving them the chance to feel that way, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You aim to, at the

very least, please the crowd. But what you really want is to entertain them. That’s why you deliver what’s expected, plus a little more, or with some kind of twist. It’s so fun to see their surprised smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a spark of excitement. You’re not sure where it’s coming from, but your subconscious is ahead of the game, picking up on something good in your near future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You never know who is hurting and can be saved by a little kindness. You admire those who treat others with tenderness, as you do. You deserve to have people around you who share your bigheartedness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Roller coasters can be fun, but you’d rather ride one in a park than in your relationships. Someone with a “no drama” policy will be attracted to your stable, grounded nature.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll find new and interesting things to do. This leads to a fun mood, which leads to making new friends.

Also, you accept everyone and take measures to include people so no one feels left out. Your popularity is on the rise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may discover that what you want is really symbolic for something else. How do you expect to feel once you get it? What else can you do to capture that feeling?

Robinson, 17th starter Kalib Henry and Justin Henry. A total of 34 sprint cars competed Saturday.

The pure stocks once again provided an entertaining 20-lap main event.

Oakley’s Nick Baldwin was involved in a collision at Placerville Speedway Monday and suffered a torn-up race car but he found redemption Saturday. The defending track champion and current point leader set the pace up front but it never came easy over the course on the contest.

Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson sat on the rear bumper of the No. 17 machine for much of the main event and kept Baldwin honest up front.

The top-two finishers in the pure stock standings last season were glued together but at the checkered flag it was Baldwin coming out on top over Jinkerson, Ryan Peter, Russ Murphy and Jason Poppert. Rounding out the top 10 were Mike Lightfoot, Jason Armstrong, Jonny Walsh, Michael Murphy and Ryan Murphy.

The triumph marked Baldwin’s 17th career Placerville Speedway victory.

The 20-lap mini truck finale started out with rookie driver Brycen Bragg and Paizlee Miller racing up front.

Part time security guard Thomas Jensen would soon find himself out front however, after Austin Struthers found issues, as the feature was back and forth with several movers and shakers.

Miller did not make things easy on Jensen though — the pair stayed locked onto each other right down to the finish. Jensen ended up claiming the checkered flag for his third career mini truck victory in Old Hangtown.

Paizlee Miller, Bragg, Page Miller and Wyatt Lakin rounded out the top five.

interviewing,” Carson said.

Carson said Roman was often kept locked in a closet without means to go to the bathroom.

“I witnessed with my own eyes her use a phone charger to whip him repeatedly,” said Carson, now a freshman in high school.

He noted the children were recruited by her to join in “different ways.”

“I was afraid at the time that if I didn’t do what she told me to do, it would be me locked in that box,” Carson added tearfully.

“It wasn’t just Roman,” Brock said toward his mother as she sat in court in an orange jumpsuit with her legs crossed. “It was seven of us. Seven kids that you abused, neglected, brainwashed.”

When Roman was in third grade, Lindsay took all the children out of school.

“She told people we were homeschooled but we weren’t,” Carson said. “It was to protect herself from school counselors and staff. I believe that if we had gone to school that someone would have had a feeling that something was off and that she would have been reported.”

Marcus Garvin — Carson and Brock’s father and Lindsay’s ex-husband — said he barely survived when they were married.

“You have been destroying lives for almost as long as I’ve known you,” Marcus told Lindsay. “Roman’s wasn’t

the first life to be destroyed but it will be the last. Roman is a hero in that respect. He beat you.”

Roman’s grandmother Jackie Farah recalled how she and Roman were very close and he was funny, goofy and loved to dance.

Once Roman moved in with Jordan and Lindsay, Farah said her grandson became distant toward her and that she thought it was because he was “trying to fit into this blended family and that he loved Lindsay and that he wanted her to be his mom.

“She fooled us all, she made us believe that she cared for Roman,” Farah added before her emotions took over and she yelled — “I didn’t know I was handing him over to the devil and I swear I did not know how evil she was. I would have done anything for that child. To hear he was treated like a dog makes me physically ill.”

After Lindsay serves 15 years in federal prison, she will be eligible for parole.

Charges originally filed by the DA in 2021 include torture and child abuse “under circumstances or conditions likely to produce great bodily injury or death.” Jordan was also accused of failure to provide for a child and Lindsay the crime of poisoning.

Jordan Piper’s next appearance in El Dorado Superior Court will come July 29. The filing last month of a U.S. District Court for Eastern California criminal complaint revealed Jordan is also now facing child porn allegations.

Lake Tahoe

Continued from A1

Tahoe Environmental Research Center. “We are working with other researchers at Lake Tahoe and with agency partners to not only keep track of clarity but to adapt management approaches for improving clarity in future years.”

The League to Save Lake Tahoe in a press release said after decades of steady water clarity loss in the latter half of the 20th century, organized conservation efforts by the league and others helped stop the decline and stabilize Lake Tahoe’s world-famous clarity. Since 2000 multi-year average clarity measurements, which are more telling of lake health than annual averages, have not declined, nor have they improved.

“Each year, we learn more about Lake Tahoe, including if conservation actions are helping preserve and restore water clarity,” said League to Save Lake Tahoe CEO Dr. Darcie Goodman Collins. “On the bright side the 2021 Clarity Report shows that coordinated efforts to prevent pollution from entering Lake Tahoe, especially the smallest particles, are effective protections for lake clarity and must continue. But research also shows those protections are not enough to bring back water clarity that was lost between 1968 and 2000.

Clearly there’s more we must learn and do to keep — and bring back — Tahoe’s blue.”

A perplexing pattern Lake Tahoe’s average annual clarity in 2021 was 61 feet compared to 63 feet in 2020. Summer measurements were 54.8 feet, while winter averages were 71.9 feet.

While clarity in winter months is invariably better than during summer, the trend from the past two decades indicates that neither summer nor winter clarity levels are improving over time.

A broader look at Lake Tahoe clarity measurements shows there is no pattern of consistent clarity improvement over the past 20 years. The lake also has not fully recovered from a spike of fine particles that flowed into its waters after the extremely wet year of 2017. historic clarity. TMDL science identified fine particles and tiny algae as playing a large role in determining lake clarity.

Currently, these are responsible for up to 70% of clarity loss.

Public and private investments in water quality improvements over the past 25 years have significantly reduced fine particles and algaefeeding nutrients entering Lake Tahoe, and TMDL pollutant load reduction targets are being met.

However, fine particles have remained elevated since 2017, when unprecedented winter storms contributed to the worst clarity on record at Tahoe. Fine particles in Tahoe’s streams increased by four-fold that year and have remained above the historic mean since that time. Fine particles in the lake have similarly increased and have yet to return to their earlier concentrations.

Schladow notes some lake particle readings were likely influenced by smoke deposition from the past several years of wildfires that have blanketed the basin. The precise role of wildfires on lake clarity and overall lake health is the subject of an ongoing Tahoe Science Advisory Council and multi-institutional

study, the results of which are expected later this year.

“Extreme weather events and changing lake dynamics are making our investments in water quality even more important,” Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Interim Executive Director John Hester said. “With strong partnerships in the Tahoe science community, we will continue to increase our understanding of how climate-driven changes could be impacting the plan to restore lake clarity.”

A clear history In 2021, UC Davis scientists took 22 individual readings at Lake Tahoe’s long-term index station. View the historic clarity readings from 1968-2021 at tahoe. ucdavis.edu.

Using a range of technologies beyond the Secchi disk, researchers continue to refine their understanding of the interactions of lake physics and ecology to determine the evolving causes of clarity change.

In 2021 underwater autonomous gliders were added to the instruments now focusing on clarity changes in the lake.

Great wines rise from the ashes Mimi Escabar Special Sections Editor

W

hen multiple passions come together good things happen.

RaeLynn Brister, Ph.D., has a passion for helping and that enthusiasm came into focus during last year’s Caldor Fire.

The owner and operator of Highcrest Farms immediately volunteered to help with animal evacuation when flames spread across El Dorado County’s southern region.

Some of those rescues took place at wineries and Brister discovered something else could be rescued.

“As I was gathering up the animals I talked to winery owners and found out there was a concern about the quality of grapes after the smoke damage,” she said. “They were going to throw them out.”

She decided to take the smoke-damaged grapes and make a wine to honor the first responders, the community and animals affected by the fire. She

connected with the vintners and collected the grapes, putting them in 55 gallon food barrels.

The fact that she does not drink wine and had never really thought about making wine didn’t deter her from her mission to create this special vintage.

“I looked up winemaking on the internet and got a lot of support and help from the real winemakers,” she said. “I used oak wine barrels I purchased as part of the wine making process.”

Her first foray into winemaking not only ended up honoring first responders, it also received special recognition at the El Dorado County Fair in the Homemade Wine Competition presented by the El Dorado Home Wine Makers Association.

Under the Highcrest Farms label, her 2021 Merlot won a Double Gold and Best in Show, her 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon won a Gold and her 2021 Chardonnay won a silver. The captivating labels designed

by Brister also won the label n

Dating back to 1854, the State Fair Commercial Wine Competition is America’s oldest wine judging event. Only wines made with fruit grown and produced in the 11 growing regions across the state may be judged in the competition.

This year a panel of 44 official judges led

ave you waited anxiously for weeks to harvest tomatoes from your garden, only to discover a dark, sunken spot on the bottom of a ripe Kate Halvorson tomato? Yes, it looks ugly but don’t despair!

UCCE Master Gardener of This condition is called El Dorado County blossom end rot. It’s not uncommon; it’s not caused by a pest, nor does it mean your whole crop is ruined. Here’s a quick look at causes and cures of blossom end rot.

Blossom end rot is a dark spot on the end of a tomato and is usually caused by inconsistent watering when the fruit is forming. Think of our spring dry spells and intermittent rains — or perhaps you applied too much and then too little water a few times. When this occurs, the first few tomatoes may show blossom end rot, but the condition often disappears later with more consistent watering during summer.

Calcium deficiency affects blossom end rot.

However, most of the soils in California have enough calcium. Don’t fall for garden myths or quick fixes for blossom end rot. Adding eggshells to the soil or calcium foliar sprays won’t help. Plants can’t absorb calcium through their leaves or fruit, only through the soil.

Soil testing before the planting season could confirm low calcium levels, in which case gypsum or lime amendment can be added. But keep in mind calcium breaks down very slowly and the plants

Fruit with blossom end rot is still edible. Just cut off the spots. won’t absorb it fast enough to help this season’s blossom end rot.

Regular and careful watering is the best way to prevent blossom end rot. Established tomato plants should be watered when the soil is dry and at a depth of 2 to 3 inches to reach the entire root zone.

Watering frequency depends on the type of garden soil and water absorption rate. Try deep watering three times a week and adjust if necessary. Choose a watering method that doesn’t wet leaves or the above-ground plant. The goal is to maintain slow and uniform soil moisture at the roots, which is best done with drip irrigation or soaker hoses. To improve water retention, amend soil with organic matter or compost and add mulch around the planting area.

Some tomato varieties seem less susceptible to blossom end rot. These varieties include Celebrity, Early Girl and cherry-type tomatoes. Long-shaped tomatoes like Roma or San Marzano may be more susceptible. There’s a huge and ever-expanding world of tomato varieties, so try experimenting ■

The proposed appropriation limits are $1,336,864.11. At said hearing the Garden Valley Fire Protection District will consider all comments by interested persons.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 05/10/2018. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. MORTGAGE LENDER SERVICES, INC. as the duly appointed Trustee WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States, by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state) all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, described as follows: Trustor(s): CHRIS GRISMER AND THOMAS WICKS Deed of Trust: recorded on 05/15/2018 as Document No. 2018-0018701-00 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California, Date of Trustee’s Sale: 08/03/2022 at 10:00AM Trustee’s Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 The property situated in said County, California describing the land therein: 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: 6003 QUERCUS ROAD, PILOT HILL, CA 95664.

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, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $333,482.99 (Estimated).

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. 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 caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.

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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 131782-5. 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.

IF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONTAINS FROM ONE TO FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES, THE FOLLOWING WILL APPLY: NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 131782-5 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.
