Blood samples show children have elevated markers of inflammation, such as interleukin 6, if they were exposed to higher air pollution. Further, higher air pollution was linked to lower cardiac autonomic regulation in children, which impacts how fast the heart beats and how hard it pumps, according to the study. In the study, published Aug. 3 in the journal New Directions for Child and Adolescent Research, researchers looked at blood samples from more than 100 healthy children ages 9-11 in the Sacramento area, where pollutants near their homes were recorded by the Environmental Protection Agency. The study was authored by Anna M. Parenteau, a doctoral student, and Camelia E. Hostinar, associate professor, both from the UC Davis Department of Psychology. The work took place at UC Davis. These findings are important

Late spring conditions enabled the El Dorado Irrigation District to fill all its alpine reservoirs. As of Aug. 2, water supplies were still relatively robust. Above 7,000 feet in altitude Caples Lake was 88% full, Silver Lake 88%, Echo Lake 94% and Lake Aloha 63%, according to EID data. Lake Aloha is the shallowest of the alpine reservoirs.Jenkinson Lake at about 4,000 feet altitude is 73% full, holding 29,970 acrefeet of water out of a maximum of 41,033. Jenkinson Lake is still receiving 14 acrefeet daily inflow from Camp Creek, which is a pre-1914 water right. The continued flow is a result of the loss of ground cover from the Caldor Fire, said EID Operations Director Dan Corcoran Aug. 8. “The district remains well positioned to meet 2022 customer demands,” Corcoran reported. He added the district is “ready for continued dry conditions during 2023 if EIDnecessary.”customers have used 15% less water than in 2021 and 10% less than 2020.

Claude Edward Sipe Dec. 17, 1939 – Aug. 7, 2022 Claude Edward Sipe passed peacefully from this world on Aug. 7, with family by his side. Born December 17, 1939, in Stockton, Calif., he spent most of his life in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and graduated from Sonora High School with the class of 1957. Claude joined the U.S. Navy for a Kiddie Cruise at the age of 17 in 1957 where he attended electrician school and graduated near the top of his class. Afterward, he was stationed at Long Beach, Calif. on the USS Yorktown. After serving a successful tour of duty, he was discharged from the Navy on his 21st birthday on Dec. 17, married his first wife Joan on Dec. 18, and moved back to Northern Calif. on Dec. 19. Once in Sacramento, Claude landed a job as a janitor with the telephone company. He worked for Pacific Bell for 30 years, starting in Sacramento but quickly moving up in the company and working his way back to the foothills. He worked in Grass Valley, Auburn and finally Placerville, ending his career as the fleet manager responsible for all the Pacific Telephone Company vehicles in 16 California counties — a feat he was particularly proud of. During his time in Placerville, Claude met his soul mate Connie Rutherfurd (Cleveland) of Placerville. They were married on Sept. 28, 1985, and shared a life of adventure that included boating, fishing, camping, RVing, square dancing, traveling, restoring classic cars, driving their Model A and other assorted mischief. Claude is especially known for his square dance calling, which he started in 1973. He organized and founded several square dance clubs in the Grass Valley and Placerville areas, including the Apple Jacks and Jills Club of Camino. He was a nationally and internationally known caller, calling dances as far away as Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Missouri and Alberta, Canada. Claude was preceded in death by his youngest son Steve Sipe of Sacramento. He is survived by sister Claire Booker of Galveston, Texas; sister Dorothy Alleman of Medford, Ore.; son Jerry Sipe of Quincy, California; grandson Justin Sipe of Reno, Nev.; granddaughter Allison Sipe of Berkeley, Calif.; wife Connie Sipe; and numerous other children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren through his marriage to Connie. Services at the Veterans Cemetery in Dixon, Calif. will be private. A public celebration of life will be held on Aug. 21 from 2-5 p.m. at the Federated Church in Placerville at 1031 Thompson Way. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Snowline Hospice of Placerville or donating blood in Claude’s name.

Nevertheless, Corcoran wrote that there is “no material impact to district operations from theThecurtailments.”CampCreek tunnel feeding Jenkinson Lake and the Alpine reservoirs along with a 22-mile system of fl umes and canals are pre-1914 water rights and not subject to regulation by the state waterFolsomboard.Reservoir, which hit the 90% mark in early June, has declined and is forecast to be 55% capacity this month, as the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation releases water from Folsom for Delta outfl ow requirements. That means EID is planning for low reservoir elevations in the fall. EID is not using its Bureau of Reclamation allocation. It is only using its Permit 21112 water rights. It is holding onto the 4,000 acre-feet in Weber Reservoir to sell to Westland Water District along with calibrated water savings from replacing the Main Ditch with a pipeline. EID recently completed a $42 million stainless steel “straw” into Folsom Lake with submersible pumps that can be lowered or raised to preserve the cool water pool for fi sh releases. On Aug. 8 the EID board unanimously approved a six-year, $469,000 maintenance contract with Rockwell Automation. It is a preventative maintenance contract for the 4,160-volt variable frequency drive for the four submersible pumps. “The contract is needed due to increased safety concerns about the 4,160-volt equipment,” wrote Jess Leanos, EID electrical process control supervisor.Thedistrict has used Rockwell for three decades.Theannual cost is $78,000, of which $47,500 is maintenance and the balance is insurance, noted EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie. “We can’t lose a day,” he added. The insurance portion means Rockwell will be on call, such that if the system goes out on a Friday night the contractor will be there to make sure the pumps have power for Saturday.

Caltrans News release CAMINO — Caltrans District
destitute around the globe. This symbolism of taking in the world’s impoverished is embodied in a verse from Emma Lazarus’ poem, “The New Colossus,” which proclaims as though speaking through the statue itself, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” These often recited and famous words are a permanent fixture associated with the Statue of Liberty. After all, aren’t they inscribed on a bronze plaque below her feet? Yet, the bronze plaque wasn’t originally part of the statue; it was added 17 years after the dedication. And, what’s more, the poem’s words and ideas obscure the statue’s true meaning.AsRoy Beck, author of “Back of the Hiring Line,” points out, the statue was meant to “celebrate the fact that the U.S. had finally abolished slavery and accorded full liberty, at least in principle, to all its inhabitants.” What’s still ignored are the broken shackles on her feet, which signify the newfound liberty for formerly enslaved Black Americans. The Statue of Liberty was not intended as a symbol for those who have yet to come, but a tribute to the foundational group of people already here. The intent was “to portray a form of government that could be copied by people in their own countries, not by leaving their countries.” Appropriately, she was named Liberty Enlightening the World, not Liberty Receiving Enthusiastically the World. Immigration proponents’ understanding of the true meaning of the statue is entirely backward. They don’t talk about its history or intent as it goes against the heart of the open border advocates’ narrative. Much like the passage from “The New Colossus,” they focus on the poor coming from overseas and across our borders rather than the poor at home. The fact that there have been 1.6 million migrant encounters last fiscal year, and 1.6 million already, year to date is music to their ears. Yet, more than three million immigrants a year, both legal and illegal, arriving in the U.S. creates colossal problems for everyone, especially the poor. According to the Census Bureau, in 2020 the number of people officially in poverty was 37.2 million and the depth of poverty has gotten worse. Deep poverty has increased to 45.6%. Why do the poor continue to stay poor? One big reason is the oversupply of low-skilled immigrant workers, who depress wages of the native-born. Case in point, the bottom 20% of Americans’ income has remained largely the same and has only risen from around $15,000 to $16,100 between 1966 and 2014. As a result, these lower-income households saw a 20% decrease between 1970 and 2020 in their income share compared to the middle and upper class. Not surprisingly, descendants of American slaves have been hit especially hard by the endless waves of migration. The National Bureau of Economic Research found that since 1970, actual earnings for the median Black man have fallen from $30,800 to $21,000 in 2014, a 32% decline.Declining wages have slowed people’s ability to move up financially. This increasing economic inequality and the inability to get ahead is due, again, in large part to massLookimmigration.atthecontrast between the upward trajectory of children born before the 1965 Immigration Act and afterward. Whereas “92% of children born in 1940 earned higher incomes at the age of 30 than did their parents, this share dropped to 50% for children born in 1980.” We’ve gone from a country where almost everyone could financially exceed their parents’ income to the odds of achieving that now are worse than flipping a coin. Of the children born into the bottom fifth of the economic ladder, 43% will continue to be stuck there and for Americans born at the bottom, it’s clear the ability to move up is particularly low. With the recent influx of immigrants, Democrat mayors in blue states finally must confront the consequences of their policies. New York City’s mayor Eric Adams recently let out a few known truths on immigration, conceding the illegal immigrant influx was a “real A s the 2021-22 state budget was being finalized in June of last year, a $279.5 quietlyappropriationmillionwasinsertedinto the massive spending plan before it was sent to Gov. Gavin improvementsthein“FundsNewsom.appropriatedthisitemshallbeforPortofOaklandforthatfacilitate enhanced freight and passenger access and to promote the e cient and safe movement of goods and people,” the budget declared.Seemingly, the Legislature was responding to numerous pleas from the shipping industry for upgrades to maintain the port’s viability in the face of intense competition for international trade. However, when the port commission recently approved a list of specific projects the money would finance, its longsuspected true purpose became clear. The money would not be spent to improve cargo-handling, but rather to subsidize development of a new stadium for the Oakland A’s baseball team on a disused container site known as Howard Terminal near Jack London Square. The money would pay for facilities to make it easier for baseball fans to access the new stadium. They apparently would be the “passengers” the appropriation cited. The commission acted shortly after the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission o cially removed Howard Terminal’s designation as a cargo site. For years, A’s owners, citing inadequacies of the Oakland Coliseum, have yearned for a new stadium while threatening to move the team if its demands were not met. At one point, the team tried to move to San Jose, but that city was part of the San Francisco Giants’ designated territory and the Giants refused to relinquish it.

Letters to the Editor California Matters Guest Column Supporting our tired, our poor, our huddled masses
Sad but true AEDITOR:lexander Fraser Tytler said, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

KEN CameronSTEERSPark Brittney Griner FEDITOR:irst of all, I believe it is entirely possible Brittney Griner was framed by someone planting evidence and she was forced to plead guilty or face a more horrible fate than nine years.However, I am totally befuddled. Why would Ms. Griner be surprised by the Russian’s legal system? Maybe because she had lived in the United States where, although it is faulty at times, we have the best legal system in the world. She claims she was not advised of her rights. Does she mean: Like the right to leave the basketball court before a WNBA game to protest the national anthem? Or to be openly gay and married to a woman? Or to speak out in protest of our legal system? Or to travel freely to a communist country to earn money to play basketball? Or to demand release from Russian authorities because she is an American? Or to be a part of a trade swap for the Russian killer and arms dealer Viktor Bout dubbed “The Merchant of Death,” who is serving 25 years in a federal prison on wide ranging charges involving, weapons, conspiracy to kill Americans and aiding terrorist organizations? The Russians knew the possibilities of this swap. Paul Whelan has already been in custody and they knew Ms. Griner could seal the deal. Whether she was set up, or made poor choices, it is an irony Ms. Griner wants to hide behind the very flag that represents the freedoms she takes for granted in this country. This is indicative of the attitude of many in this country who want to be protected by this country but don’t want to protect the foundations of GARYit.ROSSPlacerville About liberty and freedom DEDITOR:ear Mr. PresidentRose,Trump isn’t being prosecuted for his part of encouraging the riot at the Capitol Jan. 6, 2021. My father served in the Marine Corps. in the Pacific during World War II. After the war he was in Japan for the occupation and then sent to Tsingtao, China, with the Flying Tigers crewing P40s for a year then finally return home October 1948. He was recalled to service in 1950 to Korea and was a survivor of the Chosin and served a total of three tours of Korea, the last as a jet engine mechanic.Myfather never reminded anyone of his military service; the Veterans Administration sent me his records. Mr. Rose, please know that your service is appreciated. America is far from total Socialism. The United Nations is not in control nor has Sharia Law been installed.

Walters Continued from A4 football team to Las Vegas and the Warriors basketball team to San Francisco, is desperate to keep the A’s in Oakland and a number of potential stadium sites have been explored. Finally, the city and A’s owner John Fisher, a scion of the family that owns clothier Gap, settled on the 55-acre Howard Terminal site, not only for a new baseball stadium but a $12 billion residential and commercial complex.Thedecision didn’t sit well with the shipping industry, which saw it as an intrusion on cargo-handling operations.AsFisher was negotiating with city o cials over the project last year, state Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat who represents Oakland and chairs the Senate Budget Committee, slipped the $279.5 million appropriation into the budget bill and it eventually was approved by the full Legislature and Newsom.It’sjust a tiny fraction of a 2021-22 state budget that approached $300 billion but would have been enough to build a ordable housing for more than 500 low- and moderate-income families.Moreover, it represents two common but unseemly practices in the state Capitol. The first is using the state budget, which is largely drafted in secret with little opportunity for the media and public to peruse its details, as a vehicle to deliver goodies to those with political pull. After the budget and its attendant “trailer bills” are enacted each year, we learn — too late — exactly who has received special attention, either in the form of money or some beneficial change of law. The second is the slavish attention that California politicians devote to the welfare of professional sports teams and their wealthy owners. Every major sports arena project in recent years has received some sort of help from the Capitol, mostly exemptions from the environmental red tape that other big projects must navigate. The $279.5 million may not technically be a gift of public funds to a private developer, but it certainly smells like one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Author Albert Pike suggested that “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for oth ers and the world remains and is immortal.” You’ll challenge the premise with legendary actions taken on your own behalf.
A boat with an injured man aboard is located by a California Highway Patrol helicopter team on Union Valley Reservoir.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Beware of entities that seem to fulfill an appetite while actually creating one instead. With some things, accumulating more only makes you feel like you need more. An Aquarius is your loyal cheerleader. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not on cloud nine, but you’re familiar with its elevation. You may be unconsciously limiting the amount of pleasure to fit in with the people around you — a sign to change up your company. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There may be safety in num bers but not necessarily power. The committee will somehow weaken the thrust of the group. Do you dare do it on your own? There’s strength in a singular vision right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Quiet confidence is attrac tive while arrogance is repellent. You’ll walk the line like a graceful tightrope artist. Tonight, what usually takes hours to accomplish will be done in but the few minutes you have to spend on it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is no time to insist on your way. There are three other paths before you that are just as good as anything you originally wanted. The efficient way is to choose one and make the most of it. In surrendering pride, you get joy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A sense of anticipation perme ates. There is a feeling of being in between moments, on the brink of a transformation that may or may not happen. While hopeful for change, you’re also aware it’s not entirely within your control.
n
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Part of having a strong will is hav ing a strong won’t. You’re clear on your personal policies, but others need to be briefed. Once they understand what you’re about, they will stop asking you for the wrong things.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t like to lean on people, but this is what will reveal the strength of the bond. To be so diligently self-sufficient that you rob someone of the chance to feel needed would be a mistake. Everyone needs to be needed.

Injured boater rescued Mountain Democrat staff
A 67-year-old Greenwood man who was injured when he fell off his boat at Union Valley Reservoir Tuesday required a helicopter rescue. The injured boater was located in a remote area of the lake where California Highway Patrol’s H-20 was not able to land so a firefighter and CHP medic were dropped in on one of the chopper’s skids to prepare the patient for transport, according to CHP Valley Division Air Operations officials. The firefighter was among the responding emergency personnel from the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. The victim was then, in his own boat, taken to a boat ramp where H-20 was able to set down. The patient was loaded up and flown to Sutter Roseville Medical Center for treatment.

When I moved with my young family to El Dorado County in 2004, it was a big change and a leap of faith to leave the San Fernando Valley where I was raised and all my extended family lived. But, as so many of you could attest, I found that El Dorado was a special place to live and raise my children.Wefell in love with the mountains and rivers, the charm of historic Main Street Placerville, and the amazing people who make up our community.Unfortunately, as the years have gone by, I watched my kids move away to cities across the country. Being a financial planner and the current President of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce has allowed me to notice that many of our community’s youth are leaving and are not coming back to give the next generation the opportunities El Dorado County has to offer.That is why I am proud to share that one of my children, Blake Anderson, has made his way back to El Dorado County to start his own family and be a part of all that makes our county great. Like so many of our great youth, Blake grew up attending the local Sutter's Mill Elementary School, went through Gold Trail Middle School, and graduated from El Dorado High School while achieving the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America along the However,way.unlike many of our youth, and my other kids, Blake always had an interest in the family business. Even as a youth he would read my financial books that were laying around the house. Once in eighth grade, he read my copy of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. Blake was also instrumental in the development of our brand name, WealthGuard Advisors. He decided to attend Brigham Young University for his higher education focusing on economics. He took a 2-year hiatus from his studies to do voluntary Church work in Seoul, South Korea, but after returning to college, Blake completed his degree in Economics with minors in Mathematics and Korean. During college, he also had the opportunity to intern at Ladenburg Thalman’s bond trading desk in Los Angeles. He was encouraged to have an experience at a bond firm since bonds are a major portion of most people's investment portfolios. Few people, including advisors, have a good understandingworkingofthe bond market. While completing his studies, Blake met his loving and supportive wife, Beth. Upon graduation, Blake decided to forgo other employment opportunities with large investment firms to work with me at WealthGuard Advisors, but first he needed to support Beth in her desire to attend chiropractic college in Portland, Oregon. Blake learned to work remotely while in Portland and used his extra time to earn the widely recognized Certified Financial Planner™ designation. With Beth completing her Doctor of Chiropractic program and now expecting their first child, they have finally returned to our county to provide service in their chosen professions. We look forward to being part of our wonderful El Dorado County.

Particulates Researchers looked at fine particulate matter data from the EPA (PM2.5) — or the fine particles that can penetrate lungs and pass into the bloodstream — finding the children’s blood contained markers of systemic inflammation. Additionally, PM2.5, which refers to particulate matter measuring 2.5 micrometers or smaller by the EPA, was linked to lower cardiac autonomic regulation assessed using an electrocardiogram. Specifically, researchers used data files maintained by the EPA that have daily air quality summary information from each outdoor monitor in the country. In total 27 of the children studied had inflammation markers in their blood recorded during significant fires when their neighborhoods recorded significant levels of PM2.5 in the air. These times when fires were burning included during the Mendocino Complex Fire in 2018, which was active about 100 miles from the lab where blood was drawn. The findings were similar to those found in an earlier study, in which the blood of young primates was collected by UC Davis researchers after significant wildfires.“Byexamining daily and monthly levels of particulate matter in relation to children’s inflammation and autonomic physiology, this study further demonstrates the immediate consequences of exposure to air pollution, which may increase risk of future disease,” Parenteau said, adding that “as climate change continues to impact children and families, it is paramount to understand the impact of environmental contaminants such as air pollution on children’s physiology.”Previousstudies with children have shown significant associations between ambient air pollution and allergic sensitization, respiratory symptoms, and ultra-structural and cellular changes to their lungs and airways, researchers said. Researchers have found children may be especially susceptible to the effects of air pollution, given that, compared to adults, they have a higher intake of contaminants and greater lung surface area relative to their body Continuedweight.developmental research on environmental contaminants can sound the alarm about the effects of air pollution and inform policy changes that could promote longterm population health, researchers concluded.Co-authors, all who had graduated and completed research at U.C. Davis during the study, include researchers from University of Trier, Germany; UC San Francisco; Whitman College; and University of Denver.

Film captures local stories of tragedy turned into triumph Goodwin Tahoe Daily Tribune S OUTH LAKE TAHOE — Locals Ryan Wallace and Chris Cocores have fought against the odds to live life to its fullest, even when death was staring them in the face. A recently debuted movie captures their struggles and successes as they continue to inspire the world around them. For Wallace and Cocores, life has not always been a walk in the park. Wallace, the wrestling coach at South Tahoe High School, chose to have his leg amputated after an arduous fight with cancer. Life over limb Prior to being diagnosed, Wallace was told the pains in his legs were growing pains or shin splints and he went without receiving any relief. Ultimately, he gave up mentioning it. The pain became part of everyday life that he grew to accept. Because of injuries sustained in high school doctors found rare tumors growing in the cortex, rather than the marrow, of his leg bone. “My leg broke because of the tumors, so I had to finish my senior year wrestling with a broken leg,” Wallace said. “This rare cancer had only been seen four times before Ryan was seen at the University of San Francisco,”
BARRY (A147394)
Ryan’s father Duane Wallace recalled. “Three of them died. Prayer is what we believe in. If there wasn’t a God, I don’t know what we would have done.”Multiple surgeries occurred in a two-year period, which caused other health problems from the age of 18 to 20. A failed bone graft led to Wallace asking a question no 20-year-old should have to ask, “When will this kill me?” The doctors were left with only one choice, life over limb. To save Ryan’s life he would become an amputee. After Wallace awoke from surgery, while no longer in pain for the first time since fifth grade, a new question came to mind. “What is my purpose? My life was wrapped up in athletics and physical achievements.”Theanswerhe hoped for came in the form of another question. Wallace was asked to coach wrestling. “I immediately started relearning how to wrestle and do everything with one leg,”

Time literally melts in this Dalí bronze sculpture.
Experience the surreal world of Salvador Dalí “Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being Salvador Dalí — and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things is this Salvador Dalí going to accomplish today?” — Salvador Dalí T he humble,definitiontraditionalofthisman was not. In many ways, he was a force of nature unto himself. A Spanish artist, Salvador Dalí is well known for his images of reality that melt before the eyes. As with many aspects of reality, however, there is more to this man and his art than meets the eye. A larger-than-life personality, he was born Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí I Domènech in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain in 1904. He died in that same town in 1989. But bracketed between those years was an incredible, unconventional life devoted to exploring the vastness of the human mind through art. Dalí and his wife, Gala, lived in Monterey 1940-48. He was there primarily to complete his autobiography, but it would also be correct to say that he was a whale in the fishbowl of the little arts community of Carmel-by-the-Sea during that time. That history – of the artist, his art and his interactions in the community – comes vividly to life at the Monterey History & Art Association Salvador Dalí Exhibition in the heart of old Monterey.Located in the historical Monterey Plaza right across from California Landmark No. 1 (the Custom House), this museum houses one of the largest private collections of Dalí paintings, sketches and sculptures in the world. Included in the collection are lithographs, etchings, photographs, tapestries — more than 550 works, plus stories of his life and time in the Golden State. This can be considered a “permanent” exhibit, where the collection is carefully rotated and curated to always be fresh. Somehow, this feels appropriate in the surreal times we live in. “I am not strange. I am just not normal,” Dalí said. Ah, but how dull this world would have been without him in it. His was a truly creative mind.Expect to spend at least an hour there, if not more. True to the artist, a lot of what you see is mind-blowing. Dalí takes conventional ideas and turns them upsidedown and sideways, giving the viewer an entirely new perspective. “I don’t do drugs,” Dalí is famous for saying. “I amAsdrugs.”Istrolled through the exhibit, I was fascinated by the number of works in bronze. Dalí was no fool. He created works people wanted to buy. The famous melted clock image from his famous 1931 painting “The Persistence of Memory” can be seen, created in three dimensions, in bronze.Each work is thought provoking. Looking into the blank mirrored face of a sculpture of Saint George, what do you see? The saint? Yourself? Or something else entirely? Throughout his lifetime, Dalí struggled with the Catholic faith of his childhood. Religious imagery appears in many of his works. Later in life, he returned to his faith, painting “Christ of Saint John of the Cross” in 1951. It is surreal in that Christ is suspended bloodlessly above the world — and He is held to the Cross without nails, only by … what? That famous painting resides in Glasgow, Scotland, but at the Monterey exhibition it is easy to see the evolution of this concept in his work.“Atrue artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others,” Dalí said. This exhibit is a true reflection of those words. It fascinates and surprises. And leaves us wanting to return to discover more about this remarkable artist. And maybe even ourselves.“Oneday it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams,” Dalí said. What better time to explore that concept than these topsy-turvy times? The Dalí exhibit is well worth a day trip or even a few days’ vacation in Monterey. The museum building is just a few blocks from the Monterey Marriott, is within 100 feet of Fisherman’s Wharf (clam chowder, anyone?) and just minutes by car from Pebble Beach and 17-Mile Drive. For hours and admission visit mhaadali. com.Atrip to the ocean is always good for the soul. As Dalí said, “There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.” May your summer adventures be lived to the full. Carpe diem!

Believing in miracles In December 2017, Cocores lost his girlfriend of over two years, Cecilia Casares, and his dog in a head-on collision.“Ispent five years building the life I had and it vanished in a matter of seconds,” he said. In the accident he suffered seat belt syndrome.“Iwasbasically cut in half on the inside,” Cocores explained. “I was lucky because I didn’t have any brain damage, but I was blind for two weeks. There wasn’t really a point that they thought I wasn’t for sure going toThedie.”impact of the seat belt during the 80 mph collision resulted in gruesome internal injuries — a broken back and internally severed intestines which resulted in extreme internal bleeding.Miraculously, a witness reported Cocores pulled himself out of the car and crawled to the side of the road. “I was fading in and out and had the most intense conversation with myself,” Cocores recalled. “I was talking myself back into it. I had a life-changing conversation.” Cocores said his determination was driven by the disappointment in what he had yet to achieve. In rough shape, Cocores was airlifted to Loma Linda Hospital where professionals worked swiftly to operate and stabilize. “The first call I made when I woke up was to Ryan,” Cocores said “He had been through serious stuff, he had been there for me and I knew I needed him there.” Like Wallace, Cocores believed in himself enough to make the impossible ... possible. Wallace became Cocores’ coach and corner man in 2016 when they met at Jason Welsch’s summer beach wrestling event. “He got beat up pretty good by some of my previous wrestlers but had amazing potential,” Wallace said. Wallace and Cocores both knew from the experience they needed to work with one another. “God was with us the whole way,” Cocores said. “Yes, I believe in God.” There were many moments before and after the accident that Cocores said he felt God’s presence. “Ten years before my accident a random guy rode by on a bike and told me that someone was watching over me,” Cocores said. The guy said, ‘I don’t know why I’m being urged to tell you this but does anyone in your life have a broken spine?’” Cocores said no, made polite introductions, and learned he shared first names with this stranger. “The guy said, ‘well, it’ll be healed,’” Cocores said.Cocores was given a

After a one-year checkup it was found that he had lost less than 1% mobility and the metal surgically placed needed to be removed before it caused damage. “People in the medical community were calling it a miracle,” Cocores said. “Momentum” is a documentary of the two local men captured by Small Pumpkin Productions and Lane Power Films. The collaborative effort between two South Lake Tahoe residents, Michele Aguilar and Lane Power, tells a 3 ½-year span of the intense recovery in the fight of Cocores’ life. Lane, a 20-year resident of South Lake Tahoe with 17 years in filmmaking, is the director of photography and co-director. “I strive to use my work to help people understand each other and believe that empathy is one of the most powerful tools available to us,” Lane shared Aguilar is co-director and producer as well as a high school colleague of Wallace. Aguilar moved back to her hometown of South Lake Tahoe after making films in Washington, D.C. “I wanted to do a local story, saw the feature in the Tahoe Daily Tribune and knew I had to cover his recovery,” Aguilar said. “I knew if I didn’t cover his comeback fight, I would regret it.”

In 2020 Cocores had one final surgery and was cleared to fight once recovered, after being told that would be a medical impossibility. At the end of the documentary, a blooper reel captures a conversation between Wallace and Cocores. Wallace mentions the ending of the fight being like a Disney Movie. “His comeback fight was a comeback figh; he was losing,” Aguilar said. Then he didn’t. After a painfully long fight Cocores turns it around in unbelievable fashion. “On the phone with Lane at the end of the fight he said ‘Dude you staged that.’” Cocores said. “I would not put myself through that just for a good ending.” The film had an in-person and virtual premiere, Aug. 6.
