“I think this could be a great thing for our community if we get behind it,” Turnboo said as supervisors heard the matter at Tuesday’s board meeting. “We need to look at different kinds of funding, anything to solve this problem.” Impacted residents urged county leaders to follow through with exploration of temporary housing. “Winter is upon us and we are going to be shoveling snow off the top of our trailers and tanks when there is 3 feet of snow on them,” said Candace Tyler. “We really appreciate this proposal. Anything you can do to help get this, even if it is temporary housing, because my family is going to live in our trailer for the next three years while we rebuild our home.”LouLucas, a fourth-generation Grizzly Flat resident currently living in Shingle Springs, asked Mountain Democrat photo by Eric Jaramishian El Dorado County residents pack the Board of Supervisors’ chamber Aug. 23 to express their opinions on the proposed homeless shelter/navigation center.
“Our original board direction was to explore Pierroz. I think that could be a long-term location,” Parlin said. “We only have so many dollars and I want to have the county do its due diligence, which is what we are supposed to do as a county, but the board voted this morning not to do“Ithat.will not be able to support these agenda items today on an emergency ordinance …” Parlin recommended continuing the discussion to a future meeting, to which other supervisors tookDistrictissue.3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas argued a short-term navigation center allows the county to test the model to see if it will work.

Staff writer El Dorado County will look into options on providing temporary housing to the devastated Grizzly Flat community per Board of Supervisors’ direction.Supervisor George Turnboo, whose district includes Grizzly Flat, presented the idea of having the chief administrative officer explore purchasing pallet homes, or “tiny” homes, for uninsured residents who lost everything to the Caldor Fire. Turnboo’s idea is to obtain $1.5 million for purchasing these homes through grant funding or nonprofit donations.
Homeless shelter short of supervisor support
Eric Jaramishian Staff writer It appears El Dorado County’s proposed homeless shelter/navigation center on Perks Court in Placerville will not break ground this fall. A motion to award a construction contract to build the facility and make the necessary budget transfer to pay for the project failed to get the four-fifths vote needed to move forward at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting. District 4 Supervisor and Board Chair Lori Parlin, who had previously supported the emergency shelter, put in a no vote this time around. She noted that the board had earlier in Tuesday’s meeting, during closed session, voted 3-2 to discontinue negotiations on a property at 471 Pierroz Road — a site for a long-term navigation center.

Cinda Leah Tobin aug. 1, 1948 – aug. 19, 2022 Cinda Leah Tobin, age 74, passed quietly among family members after a long struggle with health challenges. She leaves behind her husband of 45 years, Rick in San Antonio, and her son, Ryan from Calif. She precedes her brother Tim in Austin, her brother James in Wisconson, and her sister Melissa in Tennessee.Cindawas born in Denver, Colo., but her childhood family moved from there to Albuquerque, N.M., and then Kerrville, Texas., finally moving to Austin, Texas. where she attended high school and graduated with a psychology degree from the University of Texas, where she was devoted to working with autistic children. Cinda met her husband Rick in Houston, Texas, and later moved with him to Tucson, Ariz., and years later the Bay Area of California. From there they settled for decades in El Dorado, Calif., until moving back to the San Antonio, Texas area in 2005. Cinda made many steadfast friends all along the trails she wandered throughout the U.S. She was devoted to helping others, especially those caught in trauma or mistreatment, including rescuing animals of all kinds — the “littles” as she called them in her booklet of sassy sayings and witticisms,” Granny Gristlebone’s Guide for the Clueless.” She and Rick were adventurous partners throughout their marriage, including studies of religion, philosophy, science, herbology, healing and every form of the arts including television program production. They amassed a large library and were quick to bring a sense of wonder to children everywhere, as she and Rick were both, at times, professional teachers of many subjects. She was especially engaged in horsemanship while living in California while continuing her love for anything with glitter and fairies. Rick often said the only thing that had more sparkles than Cinda was a fresh rainbow. There are no formal ceremonies planned for Cinda. Her request is that her ashes be spread among her beloved Texas bluebonnets in the spring. Those who wish to honor her memory may donate money, and time or become adoptive partners for local animal shelters of all kinds so “the littles” find love at last.

Dian was born in 1931 in Fort Wayne, Ind. and lived in several eastern cities, graduating from New Rochelle High School, New York, class of 1950. She went on to attend Green Mountain Junior College in Vt., graduating in 1951, and later attended Columbia University. Her training was in biology/chemistry as a research assistant. She worked for Hazelton Laboratories in Va., where she organized the evaluation of chemicals as possible cancer treatment compounds, and worked for Burroughs/Wellcome Laboratories in Washington, D.C. doing radiology and biochemical research involving the evaluation of emerging drugs for cancer treatment. While in Washington, D.C., she met and married her first husband, Howard Wessbecher. Together, they had three daughters: Jill Woodard (Davis, Calif.), Linda Pflughaupt (Park City, Utah), and Jody Gallimore (Peoria, Ariz.). Dian has five grandsons: Aaron and Austin Gallimore, James and Eric Pflughaupt, and Jacob Woodard. The surprise of Dian’s life, shortly after she and her first husband were married, was that they were going to travel across the country to work for the U.S. Forest Service in Parkdale, Ore., which to Dian seemed like the end of the earth for an eastern girl living in Washington, D.C. After her three daughters were born in Parkdale, they moved to a U.S Forest Service ranger station in Blue River, Ore., where she taught school, was a Girl Scout leader and enjoyed living next to the McKenzie River. Eventually, her husband was transferred to a larger U.S. Forest facility in Corvallis, Ore. They eventually divorced and she went on to meet the love of her life for the last 45 years, Sig Hansen. Dian and Sig eloped to Las Vegas 1977. They elected to begin their new life together in Cameron Park where Sig joined several previous associates in a new engineering firm, Culp/Wesner/Culp. Dian, having worked about 10 years for the U.S Forest Service Sciences Research Laboratory in Corvallis, looked for a similar position in the Cameron Park area, but there were none to be found. In 1978 the Cameron Park real estate market began to rebound and she identified the home and land sales as an attractive job opportunity to pursue. She obtained her real estate license and worked in various offices for about 20 years. Selling property in the Cameron Park area was her forte, and she received the top 10 Golden Circle sales agent of the year award during 1991 with her with her last employer Coker-Ewing Associates. She loved to travel and did so often with her husband, friends and family members. She took sea cruises to Mexico, the Caribbean, Russia, the Baltic Sea and Alaska. Land trips included the British Isles, France/Europe, Hawaii, South America (Peru and Colombia), the Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu and NewDianZealand.tiredof real estate and in 1991 joined her husband in their newly created engineering firm in Cameron Park as typist, bookkeeper and financial manager. Adept at managing investments, she also expanded her efforts in this position during the 19 years she and her husband maintained their firm, retiring in 2005-06. During their spare time in retirement, they designed and constructed a lakeside home on the shore of Lake Almanor in Northern California.Dianenjoyed many athletic and sporting activities throughout her life. She was a high school cheerleader and thoroughly enjoyed football games. She took up skiing while at college in Vermont and continued the sport into her late 70s. Many family outings were ski trips with her daughters and husband. She also loved to swim. Bridge was a game she played regularly with a circle of women friends in the Cameron Park/Placerville area. Dian was deeply interested in the stock market and teaching a group of women investors occupied a considerable amount of her time. She was a talented person with a lot of ambition. Dian was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in her mid 80s. She remained with her husband in their home until January 2022, when she moved into a memory care facility where she lived until she passed away July 2022. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her and loved her; her family, friends and devoted husband of 45 years. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory can be made to Alzheimer’s Disease Research, 22512 Gateway Center Drive, Clarksburg, MD 20871. A memorial service will be held on Monday, Aug. 29, 11 a.m. at Green Valley Mortuary and Cemetery in Cameron Park followed by a reception.

The Placerville Police Department will hold a DUI/ driver’s license checkpoint Aug. 27 at an undisclosed location within Placerville city limits. Checkpoint locations are chosen based on a history of DUI crashes and arrests, according to a news release from the department. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired. During the checkpoint officers will look for signs drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. “The safety of our community is and always will be our mission,” said Sgt. Aaron Pratt. “We are looking for impaired drivers because driving under the influence is dangerous and puts others on the road at risk. Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.”

Placerville police to set up DUI checkpoint in city
The Placerville Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or overthe-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or “operating heavy machinery,” which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal. People who plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact their ability to drive safely should plan on staying at home or using a designated driver. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Setting the record straight TEDITOR:his is in reference to “Enough with the rhetoric and misinformation,” a letter written by Tamara Janies and published Aug. 10. The letter I wrote to our business community and others advised them of the county’s declaration of a homeless crisis and direction given to sta regarding a homeless navigation center to be located on Perks Court, in the heart of the Missouri Flat Road business district and near Herbert Green Middle School. This homeless camp will operate under Housing First guidelines, allowing people to use drugs and receive free drug paraphernalia from Sierra Harm CommentersReduction.tookissue with this information coming from the El Dorado County Republican Central Committee (Party). They claimed we were fundraising to cover printing and mailing expenses. This is not true. Two longtime county business owners/residents funded this e ort. Our committee was approached by community members, parents and business owners who asked us to join them in support of the sheri ’s homeless plan, which doesn’t need the city’s money, nor grants, and is far less costly. It would be located far from business districts, does not allow drug/alcohol use and will act as the go-to place, o ering needed resources to assist those with addiction and mental healthInsteadissues.ofaddressing this project, Janies and others went into the weeds, talking about the county being short 4,000 housing units and low on rental properties. This is comparing oranges to apples and, yes, bless you, Ms. Janies, for your volunteer work with the homeless. The navigation center is a 60- to 70-bed facility best described as a large, enclosed tent with one big room where troubled individuals will live together. What could go wrong?
The number of Americans not in the labor force, those who neither have a job nor are Americans2022tofromahittingmarkpastemployment,seekingclimbedthe100millionagaininJuly,100,051,000,239,000increaseJune.FromMayJune,thepreviousreportingperiod,detached from the labor force increased 510,000. The July report showed that labor participation was 62.1%. A Congressional Budget O ce analysis found that a lower labor force participation rate is associated with lower gross domestic product and lower tax revenues, with larger federal outlays because people who are not in the labor force are more likely to enroll in certain federal benefit programs.Adeeper dig into the July statistics found that leisure and hospitality led the way in job gains with 96,000, although the industry is still 1.2 million workers shy of its prepandemic level. Professional and business services were second with 89,000. Health care added 70,000 positions, and government payrolls grew 57,000. Goods-producing industries also posted solid gains, with construction up 32,000, and manufacturing adding 30,000. Despite repeated alarm bells sounded by Walmart, Target and other big box stores that consumer demand is weak, retail jobs increased by 22,000. Superficially, the job growth looks encouraging. But the wages that those jobs pay can’t support a household of four or, perhaps, not even the individual worker. Leisure and hospitality workers, which BLS classifies as cooks, bartenders, waiters, hotel housekeepers and food preparation supervisors, earn an average of about $30,000. Professional and business services earn $40/hour; health care, $29,000; goods producing industries, $30,000, and retail workers, $29,000. In order for blue-collar workers to advance into the middle-class lifestyle, they need the labor market to get tighter, a challenge since the border is open; temporary guest worker programs are expanding and legal immigrants receive lifetime valid employment authorization. During the Biden administration, nearly 2.5 million border crossers have entered the U.S. Biden’s intention is to give most if not all parole status that includes work permission. Over the

A .05% increase, however, keeps consumers getting poorer as inflation last month proceeded at an 8.5% rate. But no federal government report merits more skepticism than the monthly BLS. If the jobs market was truly booming, then the labor participation rate should be climbing. Instead, the participation rate is falling.

Lack of parking control AEDITOR:sa long time resident of Placerville, Woodridge Court, we have an ongoing issue of illegal parking and lack of city police support. I and several other neighbors have repeatedly called the police to report parking violations that could potentially cause a catastrophe in an emergency situation. Not only are abandoned cars often reported, with very little responses from PPD, there is illegal parking as well. I reported wrongful parking on Aug. 20 and was called back by an o cer with the following message: “Hello it’s the Placerville Police Department. I went and checked on the cars that you were concerned about and unfortunately they are not in a fire zone or, you know, breaking any other ordinance or vehicle code so there’s not much we can do. OK, right, have a good day …” I have plenty of photos that do not match with this statement.

One respondent took issue with a Republican volunteer handing out flyers about this project at the county fair. She asked, “Have you ever talked to a homeless person?” The volunteer responded, “No,” leading the individual to sarcastically question the volunteer’s intelligence. Let me quote what some homeless have said. In a newspaper article James said he came from Texas to San Francisco for the drugs, the non-enforcement of anti-camping laws and $820 a month in welfare and food Mothersstamps.Against Drug Deaths cofounder Jacqui Berlinn talked about her son on a news report. Corey, 32, a homeless addict, told his mother that for the most part addicts no longer use cocaine. They use fentanyl because it’s cheaper and gives a greater high. In 2021 Gov. Gavin Newsom spoke to homeless people across the nation, inviting them to come to California to seek a “new beginning.” Newsom said “his” state has a responsibility to accommodate incoming homeless people. So much for “our” state — we the people who pay your salary. Perhaps if we didn’t have the highest taxes in the nation and high building and permit fees, not to mention costly regulations, this state and county might see more construction of a ordable housing.

“Trustmedia.sayscience,”thethe Polls show that fewer Americans do. There’s good reason for that. “They don’t trust science because science is trusts“TheFolletscienceuntrustworthy,”increasinglysayswriterAndrewinmynewvideo.onlygroupthatsciencerightnow is Democrats.” Sixty-four percent of Democrats have “a great deal” of confidence in the scientific community, compared to 34% of Republicans. Of course, true science — using the scientific method — is important. But that’s not what much of “science” is these days. Instead, today government science is misused by progressive politicians. Example 1: Environmental activists want to limit commercial fishing. They want Congress to pass what they call the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act. It claims climate change is the “greatest threat to America’s national security” and o ers a dubious solution: close more of the ocean to commercial fishing. The retracted.seemcatchescanmoreconcludesscientifiCongressLubchenco,ofdeputyadministration’sdirectorClimate,Janetoldthatacpaperthatclosingoftheoceanactuallyincreaseoffish.Really?Thatdoesn’tlogical.Itisn’t.ThepaperwasOnescientistcalled its logic “biologically impossible.”Also,Lubchenco’s didn’t tell Congress that the paper was written by her brother-in-law. And edited byDidher.the White House punish Lubchenco for her ethics violations? No. In fact, after her testimony, she was appointed co-head of President Joe Biden’s Scientific Integrity Task Force. The National Academy of Sciences recently banned her for five years. Yet she’s still on the White House’s Scientific Integrity Task Force. Sadly, much of what’s called science today is simply left-wing advocacy. “New fields like fat studies, African studies, Latinx studies, queer studies,” says Follet, “are essentially entirely fake.” Fake? Well, they must be. “Experts” in those fields keep being fooled by people who submit gibberish.

In science, the way to promote yourself is to get papers published. That often gets you more funding. Government agencies like the National Science Foundation provide most of that funding. “Nobody wants to publish something that goes against the paymaster,” says Follett. “You don’t get published unless the NSF likes your results.”
On Aug. 12, 2020, the El Dorado Irrigation District board authorized a $395,90 contract with Zanjero Inc. as a consultant on transferring 17,000 acre-feet of water rights from Folsom Lake to possible upstream locations, with the Kyburz diversion dam as one of the ultimate transfer locations.EIDSenior Deputy General Counsel Elizabeth Leeper on Monday updated the board on the work so far. By 2021 the Upper American River Project of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and EID’s facilities had an updated hydrologic model. That included the areas feeding into Lake Aloha in Desolation Wilderness, Echo Lake, Silver Lake and Caples Lake. In addition to EID’s hydrologic model, also included was the longer study period of 1975-2019. A separate “modeling suite” will be used to evaluate the Folsom Lake cold pool, water temperature and flow management on the lower American and Sacramento River. The EID board unanimously approved a $174,100 change order for Zinjero. This followed a Feb. 28 change order of $124,840 for hydrologic modeling.
Guzzardi Continued from A4 Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent
last 15 years, the State Department has issued millions of guest worker visas to foreign citizens who perform blue- and white-collar jobs. In fiscal 2022 the U.S. will accept 2.1 million lifetime work-authorized legal immigrants, a record number, that will swell the labor pool. To help U.S. workers, the labor market should be tight. Fewer immigrants would push wages higher and move Americans up the economic ladder. People would become more productive and less welfare dependent. When Congress returns after Labor Day, campaigning for the mid-term elections will begin in earnest. Most of the politicians will promise to elevate the electorate’s lifestyles. But few will mention the important role that reduced immigration would play in boosting wages.

Example 3: The NSF gave nearly $500,000 to a team that wrote a paper questioning glacier science because it “stems from knowledge created by men.” Absurdities are pushed by the right, too. Some people still claim that man plays no part in climate change or that the climate isn’t warming at all. Some say vaccines don’t work. But the right’s junk science doesn’t get backed by government funds. I’m angry that my tax dollars go to support leftist nonsense.Unfortunately, most Americans don’t care. That’s probably because they don’t know that government throws so much money at ridiculous progressive advocacy.“We’llall start caring when the bridges start falling down and the planes start crashing,” says Follet. “That’s the inevitable end result of this.”

The conference then invited the paper’s author, “Sea Matheson,” to speak. Attendees gave Matheson’s speech rave reviews, praising the paper’s description of Donald Trump’s “fatphobia” and inviting Matheson to review other work submitted to their “scientific” journal, Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society. But Matheson is no scientist. “She” is actually comedian Steven Crowder, who disguised himself as an overweight woman to expose “ivory tower quackery.”Crowder is just the latest person to fool today’s so-called science journals. James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose submitted nonsense papers to “grievance studies” journals like Fat Studies, Sexuality & Culture and Sex Roles. Seven accepted ridiculous papers. One that took a section of “Mein Kampf” but replaced references to “National Socialism” with “feminism” was accepted by Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work. Gender, Place and Culture accepted a paper that claimed there is rape culture at dog parks. Follett blames this perversion of science on government. Its science agencies, like much of America, have been taken over by leftists hungry to promote themselves and their agenda.

Auburn’s Andy Forsberg eyes a ninth title with the winged sprint cars on Saturday. “Mr. Excitement” captured the win on Legends Night last season and would love nothing more than to add another to cap off a title. Forsberg brings a 32-point lead over Roseville’s Jodie Robinson. Shane Hopkins, Bubba Decaires and Michael Ing will also look to lock down topfive point finishes this weekend. Oakley’s Nick Baldwin will wrap up his fourth career pure stock title on Legends Night. Baldwin has accumulated five victories this season but as of press time it was uncertain if he’d be able to run the final point race due to a blown engine last time out. Completing the top five in the standings going into the championship finale are Kevin Jinkerson, Michael Murphy, Ryan Murphy and Jason Poppert. A solid field of Lightning Sprints is expected to take part in the event as BCRA and CLS contest a “Civil War” battle on the red clay bullring. It will be the final time they compete at Placerville Speedway this year with wings atop the car, as they shed the lids for the November running of the Hangtown 100. The pit gate will open at noon on Saturday, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on track at 5:15.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Vail Resorts has announced opening dates targeted for its Lake Tahoe ski areas.Heavenly Mountain Resort and Northstar California plan to open Friday, Nov. 18, with Kirkwood Mountain Resort aiming for Friday, Dec.This2.upcoming winter is the 50th anniversary of operations at Northstar and Kirkwood. Heavenly and Northstar will be debuting upgraded chairlifts. Heavenly is upgrading its North Bowl lift to a high-speed four-person chair, a previously fixed grip three-person lift. This upgrade will increase uphill capacity by more than 40%, reduce the combined ride time of the Boulder and North Bowl lifts and is expected to reduce wait times at the Stagecoach and Olympic lifts, as well.Northstar is upgrading its Comstock Express lift from a four-person chair to a high-speed six-person lift, which is designed to reduce wait times at one of the mountain’s most popular lifts and will increase uphill capacity by nearly 50%. These upgrades are under way and on schedule to open for the upcoming winter season. “Our teams can’t wait to welcome guests back to our mountains for the upcoming winter season,” said Tom Fortune, vice president and chief operating officer for Heavenly and the Tahoe Region. “We wait with great anticipation every year for the start of ski + ride season and I know this will be another amazing winter for all of our resorts across the Tahoe region. Most importantly our Heavenly, Kirkwood and Northstar teams are working incredibly hard in preparation and their amazing dedication and focus will no doubt allow us to deliver another excellent season for our guests.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve decided it’s wise to stay a little on guard but can’t say what you want to say while trying to mitigate the risk of getting hurt. If you knew it was impossible to protect yourself from truth and pain, then how would you go about it?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be surrounded by strong personalities who want to tell you what to do, but you’re the one most qualified to call the shots right now. Make decisions for yourself. Your purposefulness will attract trust, love and money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to know more about a particular subject, and teachers show up to light the way. They will give you the key to treasures that would remain inaccessible to the incurious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll get the overwhelming feeling that things are happening in the best way possible to serve your interests. Your senses are tuned to find the path of least resistance, so you don’t have to think about it; like water you’ll flow to it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are a lot of things you could do to help out, but it will be most satisfying to do something you’re great at. Your highest point of contribution will involve your uniqueness and be enjoyable for you to give.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are things about your life you can’t change right now. You’ll be able to do something about them later. While you wait for the opportunity to take back control, think about the other things you’re currently empowered to affect. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s an emotional link between something happening today and something that happened long ago. The connection occurs deep in your being, yet it will shape your behavior in subtle and obvious ways.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many reasons you’ll feel the need to get moving, the least of which is to burn calories. You’ll think better when you’re in motion. Exercise can be anything you want it to be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re feeling less ambitious, but oddly you’ll be happier because of this. While big wins and lofty goals are amazing to hit, the day-to-day stress has a way of wearing on you. One small goal at a time will feel really good right now.

Tahoe ski resorts target opening dates
Heavenly and Northstar, depending on the weather, plans to close at the end of day Sunday, April 16, and Kirkwood plans to stay open through Sunday, April 30. There are currently no requirements for face coverings, vaccines or dining/lift reservations this coming season. Vail Resorts will continue to monitor the changing dynamics of the pandemic. Employees will continue to complete daily health screenings and resorts will still apply enhanced cleaning practices.Guestsplanning to visit this winter are encouraged to purchase lift access in advance — whether it is a lift ticket, Epic Day Pass or season pass. Lift tickets will be limited every day, across every resort, during the 2022-23 season in order to preserve the guest experience. The availability of lift tickets will be visible on resort websites in the coming weeks. If tickets are sold out online, guests will not be able to purchase them at ticket windows. Passes, including Epic Day Passes and Pass Holder benefit tickets will not be limited. There is also no impact to guests who enroll in ski and ride school lessons that include lift access or to employee and dependent pass access.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The boundaries around the rela tionship are what make it a home. Hopefully the boundaries inside the relationship allow each their own space. In love and other shelters, the walls are as important as the foundation.
Skiers and riders have until Labor Day (Sept. 5) to lock in the best price on their Epic Pass.

Prewar population was approximately 300,000 and now its streets are empty and citizens have fled in an attempt to save their lives and the lives of their families. Those wanting to leave Kherson must pass a series of Russian military checkpoints, according to the Associated Press. Soldiers search belongings, identity papers and mobile phones, with anyone suspected of supporting the resistance facing interrogation at so-called “filtration camps.” Many Ukrainians are seeking refuge through a program called U for U. Uniting for Ukraine is a U.S based program allowing a temporary two-year probationary period for those fleeing the Russian invasion. According to its website, “The first step in the Uniting for Ukraine process is for the U.S.based supporter to file a Form I-134, Declaration of Financial Support with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The U.S. government will then vet the supporter to ensure that they are able to financially support the individual whom they agree to support.”SouthTahoe residents Cari and Brian Beetham are hosting the Falko family.“Weknew we wanted to help a family so we signed up on the website,” Cari said. “We had to pledge to take care of the family.”
Instead of returning home as they had planned on Feb. 25, the Falkos traded their tickets to Kherson for flights to Bulgaria. From Bulgaria they went to Germany, continuing the process to register and find a sponsor. Their destination prior to coming stateside was England, where they stayed until the family arrived safely at Lake Tahoe late at night.While the Beethams pledged to financially care for the family, the Falkos have relied on their financial reserves to travel and to care for themselves thus far. In Kherson they have apartments, cars and boats, a whole life they’ve established, none of which is accessible. It is unclear when the war will cease or what will remain once it has. For now the south shore of Lake Tahoe has become a haven for this displaced family of three. While their hometown is war torn, learning English and finding work to sustain themselves has become their focus. “They won’t even say his (Putin’s) name. They stay positive and I don’t know how,” Cari said. Amid the uncertainty, the Folko’s son, nicknamed Sasha, has been accepted into a local preschool. The family is also looking into online English classes and waiting for news on their work visas. Olexandr said, “I want to express my gratitude for the U.S. government and the U.S. people for their support. Please do not be afraid to take responsibility and to take on the sponsorship roles.”

The Board of Supervisors’ chamber was packed and the discussion got rowdy as county residents showed up Tuesday morning to weigh in on what’s been a hot topic in the community.EdwardRuiz, a 17-year homeowner who lives near Perks Court, expressed his opposition to a shelter in his neighborhood. Area businesses, including Walmart and CVS Pharmacy, would be “perfect environments” for homeless activity like loitering, pan handling and drug use, he maintained. Ruiz also said the Perks Court location would only encourage illegal camping in the nearby Weber Creek canyon.“Ithink Perks Court is the best location for the worst outcome for not only the public out there who shop in those areas, but also for those of us who live there,” Ruiz said. Housing El Dorado Director Don Vanderkar was in favor of the navigation center, calling it an “answer to the plight of homelessness.”“Weallagree that homelessness is a huge, far-reaching problem,” Vanderkar said. “Right now in the county people are suffering and dying because they have limited opportunities.”EmmaRobinson, previously homeless, said no homeless individuals would want to participate in the sheriff’s managed camp. “Though it might not be personal, I feel like it would be a personal stab against homeless people if you put them next to where they don’t want to be,” Robinson said. “They feel scared, unsafe and drugs could be just the way they cope. “This problem needs to be dealt with by people who care and not by people who just want the homeless out of their hair.” In an email to the Mountain Democrat after the board’s vote, Auditor-Controller Joe Harn stated that money saved by the county for mental health services could be spent to help homeless individuals who are mentally ill. “We should be discussing the fact that, as of today, the county has $15 million of Mental Health Services Act funds in the bank,” Harn stated. “I hope the board and the community get very interested in how effectively we are using our mental health funds. It is my opinion that we should do a better job of helping the mentally ill with the significant amount of money available that is not being utilized.”

Zinjaro has developed a special model to analyze Zinjerohydrology.Besideshydrology,andstaffhave met with SMUD to ensure the accuracy of the modeling for SMUD hydro facilities. Also included are meetings with a whole array of stakeholders: American Whitewater, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, Friends of the River, Planning and Conservation League and private citizens interested in whitewater recreation on the South Fork of the American River.Other agencies staff members have met with include the State Water Resources Control Board, the Department of Fish & Wildlife, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and representatives for the Water Forum and the El Dorado County Water Agency. The change order approved Aug. 22 was to recalculate the Folsom Lake cold pool hydrology after Zinjaro discovered a software error and worked with the Department of Water Resources to correct that. Those recalculations, along with additional hydrologic modeling requested by SMUD updated EID’s hydrology for 2020-21. Modeling hydrology during a dry period is expected to be of interest to stakeholders, Leeper wrote. In Oct. 26, 2020, the board had awarded a $364,275 contract to AECOM for an environmental impact report on moving the water rights.
District 5 Supervisor Novasel stated the county needs to move forward with the proposed Perks Court project.“Thesooner the better,” Novasel said. “We have the ability to do that right now and I say we need to move forward.”District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo, maintaining his opposition to the project, also did not vote in favor of the Perks Court shelter. He was instead in support of Sheriff John D’Agostini’s tabled HOSTESS managed homeless encampment plan that would put a camp on a lot next to the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville.Thesheriff brought the plan, now called HOME, back to supervisors. “All of the stakeholders in the county would need to come together to make it successful,” D’Agostini told the board, adding that the project would need clear direction from county leaders.

He shared findings on utilization of the units.Research done by the Community Organization Active in Disaster group Better Together shows tiny homes work best for survivors who before the fire lived in a home smaller than 600 square feet, lived alone and those who want to live offgrid as a short-term solution while looking into rebuilding options.Thetiny homes would not be recommended for disabled or handicapped individuals as they are non-compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act due to not having conventional stairways.“Wehave been provided with information from contractors who would not sign off on these tiny homes because of the liability that may come from the layout and feasibility of the floor plans,” Telfer said. Telfer also shared that those who stayed in these homes longer-term showed mental instabilities, including depression.Healsonoted the total cost of a tiny home would be $50,000-$75,000. Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton confirmed his own findings that a tiny home would cost $60,000-$80,000.

The El Dorado Amador Prescribed Burn Association is a newly formed group made up of local residents helping private landowners to conduct prescribed burns on their own properties. The goal of the Prescribed Burn Association is to provide the community with training, equipment and support to empower landowners to conduct intentional burns on theirThelands.ElDorado Amador PBA was formed in late 2021 and has hosted several workshops and training days and two small burns thus far. The PBA also recently received grant funds from the Department of Conservation to hire a coordinator and continue expanding training efforts. Much of the Sierra Nevada is a fireadapted ecosystem that historically burned frequently at low intensity but decades of fire suppression have not allowed fire to play its needed role in this ecosystem. Prescribed fire is a tool for managing working rangelands and forests in the Sierra Nevada. Other PBAs throughout the state have demonstrated over several years of burning that utilizing prescribed fire on private lands can be a costeffective and accessible tool for landowners to reduce wildfire hazard and meet a variety of ecological objectives.

News release SACRAMENTO — The Crocker Art Museum presents Another World: The Transcendental Painting Group. This landmark museum exhibition — the first exhibition of this important group of American modernists to be shown beyond New Mexico’s borders and the first to be accompanied by a major scholarly publication — is devoted to an often overlooked group of 20th century abstract artists who pursued enlightenment and spiritual illumination. Organized by independent curator Michael Duncan and the Crocker, this survey of 85 works made by the 11 visionary abstractionists is drawn from a variety of private and public collections including the Crocker’s. It aims to provide a broad perspective on the group’s work and reposition it within the history of modern painting and 20th century American art. The groundbreaking show is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication by Duncan and other scholars, including the Crocker Art Museum’s Associate Director and Chief Curator Scott A. Shields, who assert the group’s artists as crucial contributors to an alternative through line in modern art history, one with renewed relevance today. The traveling exhibition is on view at the Crocker Aug. 28 through Nov. 20.

Another World Another World is accompanied by a lavishly illustrated exhibition catalogue (Delmonico Books, 2021). Revelatory, in-depth essays by Duncan; Shields; art historian, author and independent curator Malin Wilson Powell; Catherine Whitney, a curator with a specialization in the regional Taos and Santa Fe painters; and Ilene Susan Fort, curator emerita at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, comprise the most significant contribution to the study and understanding of the group to date. The handsome, colorful volume features stand-alone essays on each member, an illustrated chronology of the group with archival photography and ephemera and an extended excerpt from Rudhyar’s polemical unpublished 1938 treatise positioning transcendental art as a redemptive 20th century movement. In the opening essay, “Another World: The Transcendental Painting Group,” Duncan asserts the group as contributors to an alternative approach to abstraction and places their art within the history of modern painting and 20th century American art. While Shields, in his “The Transcendental Painting Group and Significant Abstraction,” argues that while their art very often shares formal resemblances to that of modernist pioneers like Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe, “It was not the lack of an objective stimulus that set their work apart from that of their predecessors but a difference in motivation.”

THE EL DORADO CONGREGATIONALCOMMUNITYCHURCH and nourish the soul, just as they did in the era the paintings were made,” said Lial A. Jones, the museum’s Mort and Marcy Friedman director and CEO. “These motivated individuals transformed the dramatic natural surroundings of the Southwest into luminous reflections of the human spirit,” said Shields, a leading specialist in the art of California and the American West. “This sets their work apart from abstraction made in Europe at the same time — that and the otherworldly beauty and quality of the artwork itself. Well connected, well read, but isolated geographically, the artists sought to connect and communicate with viewers through potently charged symbols and dynamic relationships of color and form.”“Despite the quality of their works, this group of Southwest artists have been neglected in most surveys of American art, their paintings rarely exhibited outside of New Mexico,” said Duncan, who originally planned the exhibition nearly a decade ago. A corresponding editor for Art in America whose writings have focused on maverick artists of the 20th century and West Coast modernism, he added, “As we settle into the 21st century, the ‘spiritual’ seems no longer a complete taboo and art history is undergoing a vast sea change.”

Collective unconscious The Transcendental Painting Group achieved its modernity through potently charged shapes, patterns and archetypes that they believed dwelled in the “collective unconscious.” The artists looked to a wide variety of literary, religious and philosophical forces, including Zen Buddhism, Theosophy, Agni Yoga, Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche, and were greatly impacted by the Russian-born artist and theoretician Wassily Kandinsky. Convinced that an art capable of being intuitively understood would have equal validity to representational painting in an era of uncertainty, political divide and fear, they attempted to promote abstraction that pursued enlightenment and spiritual illumination. Their manifesto stated their purpose: “To carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic andThespiritual.”groupwas co-founded by New Mexico painters Raymond Jonson (1891-1982), today a vastly underrated figure in the development of abstraction in the United States who generally pursued a rigorous clarity in his art and was the stalwart backbone of the group, and Emil Bisttram (1895-1976), a key Southwest modernist whose work evidenced a calculated precision that demonstrated his interest in the theory of Dynamic Symmetry and geometry’s potential for occult symbolism.Allofthe artists in the TPG sought to imbue their art with unforgettable, affecting metaphors, symbols and visions, employing the freewheeling imagery of Surrealism to depict a transfigured, spiritually alive America. Agnes Pelton (1881-1961), increasingly appreciated today for her shimmering, celestial forms, was the honorary president of the group and its educational arm, the American Foundation for Transcendental Painting. Lawren Harris (1885-1970) of Canada was the group’s only non-American member and known primarily for his light-filled, sharply delineated mountain landscapes. Florence Miller Pierce (1918-2007), the youngest member, created stunning paintings and drawings using geometric and biomorphic forms. Horace Pierce (1916-1958), who created graph-like and spiraling geometries in space, was also an experimental filmmaker.

Robert Gribbroek (1906-1971) was a fine artist, commercial art director and layout artist for Hollywood animation studios; William Lumpkins (1909-2000), the only New Mexico native of the group, produced expressive watercolors that were the most unrefined and expressionistic, his style manifesting his interest in Zen Buddhism and Eastern thought; Stuart Walker’s (1904-1940) layered, swooping pastel forms embody transformative movement, growth and enlightenment; and Ed Garman (1914-2004) was an idealist who took an improvisatory but analytical approach to his abstract compositions. Also included in the survey are paintings by Dane Rudhyar (18951985), a philosopher, composer, artist, poet, novelist and astrologer. Though not an official TPG member, his writings were critical in the group’s formation and cohesion. The show includes striking, sublime works such as “Oversoul” (circa 1941), a warm, lyrical oil by Bisttram; Pelton’s stylized, shimmering “Birthday” (1943) that depicts the hallucinatory aura of the desert sky and landscape; and an ethereal, sensuous 1938 canvas by Walker invoking an idealized landscape of hills and clouds. The exhibition is the sum of an astonishing array of loans and includes works drawn from the Crocker’s permanent collection, including “Winter” (1933), a radiant, vibrant painting by Pelton, who sometimes representationalincorporatedelementsthat she felt could assist on the path to inner awareness and whose masterful and delicate abstractions have since the 1990s been rediscovered. The Crocker has also contributed two paintings by Jonson, a critical figure in expanding Southwest art beyond landscape painting and regional depictions to incorporate the light, color and spirit of New Mexico in rich, metaphorical abstraction. These works, both from the early 1940s, demonstrate his interest in mechanical forms. Jonson, Duncan points out, himself became a strong advocate of Pelton’s work, praising her work for its luminosity.
