DISTRICT 1 RACE
John Hidahl ready for second term Sel Richard Staff writer Incumbent John Hidahl, El Dorado County District 1 supervisor, hopes to hold onto his seat in what could be a contentious election this March. Born and raised in California’s Central Valley, 68-year-old JOHN HIDAHL Hidahl grew up working on his family’s peach farm and driving trucks before getting his mechanical engineering degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. From there, he spent 31 years at Aerojet as a rocket scientist and 10 years at Northrop Grumman as a chief systems engineer, retiring in 2014. A grandfather to 10, Hidahl and his wife Eileen have been El Dorado Hills residents for 41 years, seeing all five of their daughters through Oak Ridge High School. Elected to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors in 2016, Hidahl said he’s proud of achieving his previous campaign goals of structurally balanced budgets for three successive years, preserving open space and providing multiple senior housing facilities in El Dorado Hills, adding that he hopes to complete the work he started in the last three years. Hidahl acknowledged the help of staff and department heads who brought about the culture change he has seen within the county in his efforts “to improve and lean out county government.” Describing himself as a financial conservative n

Nutting nabs opponent’s campaign literature Dylan Svoboda Staff writer With the March primary election just weeks away an El Dorado County supervisor candidate has been caught on camera apparently sabotaging one of his opponent’s campaigns. Ray Nutting, a former District 2 El Dorado County supervisor once again running for that board seat, admitted Wednesday to taking a fellow candidate’s political literature from the front door of a Cameron Park home and replacing it with his own. The campaign brochure belongs to Ken Pimlott, former Cal Fire chief who’s also running for the District 2 seat. Like many wrongdoings these days, Nutting was caught by home security footage. After a video of the incident surfaced Tuesday evening, Jan. 13, Nutting confessed to the Mountain Democrat that he made “a silly Security footage captured at a Cameron Park home shows El Dorado County mistake.” District 2 Supervisor candidate Ray Nutting taking a flier off the residence’s “I’ve been walking hundreds and hundreds front door. of homes,” he said. “It was the first campaign
literature I saw and I was curious. I had not seen any before. It was very wrong of me to take the brochure that was meant for the property owner. I personally apologize to the homeowner … My curiosity got the best of me.” The video that surfaced on social media captured Nutting taking a piece of paper from what appears to be a crack in the front door, placing it in his pocket and putting another paper in the same spot. The timestamp on the video indicates that the incident took place Wednesday, Jan. 8, just before 6 p.m. He added that he realized the brochure was “political in nature” at the time but didn’t know for what candidate or cause. Pimlott spoke lowly of Nutting’s actions, describing them as anti-democratic. “It’s disheartening,” Pimlott said. “We’re all just trying to do the right thing and give the voters all the information so they can decide for themselves what choices they want to make. For another candidate to do that, to willfully take information away from a voter and put his n

ELIJAH LEE RICHTER Nunez Avila of Pollock Pines. Through the nowdefunct dark website Silk Road, Richter used bitcoin currency to purchase doses of 25I‑NBOMe, a
hallucinogenic stimulant similar to LSD, from overseas. He then distributed some to Jesse Roberts, also of Camino, who then distributed some to Avila. The boy took four doses and died of an overdose at Marshall Medical in Placerville after taking the drugs at his Pollock Pines home on the morning of Sept. 9, 2012. An investigation led to the arrests of Richter and Roberts on involuntary manslaughter just days later. Roberts was convicted of involuntary manslaughter by the El Dorado County
A man suspected of a drug related murder in Georgetown was arrested Dec. 23 in Pinal County, Ariz., and has subsequently been booked into the El Dorado County Jail. A group of masked, armed assailants allegedly robbed an outdoor marijuana grow in the Georgetown area Aug. 21, 2018, according to El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney Joe Alexander.
A number of victims were tied up and Miguel Cazares Robles, one of the people tending the grow operation, tried to hide in a locked room inside a building on the property. The assailants reportedly shot Robles through the locked door and then completed the robbery before fleeing. Other victims were able to loosen their ties and escape, giving aid to Robles and driving him into downtown Georgetown where he was taken by ambulance to an area hospital.
CRIME LOG
Robles died several days later from the gunshot wound. An investigation conducted by El Dorado County sheriff ’s detectives and the District Attorney’s office identified Saul Corrales Contrerras, 37, as one of the suspected robbers. Alexander said authorities were unable to immediately arrest Contrerras because they thought he fled into Mexico. He was eventually arrested in Arizona while trying to reenter the United
SAUL CONTRERRAS States from Mexico illegally.Transferred from federal custody, Contrerras was booked into the county jail Jan. 13.

Community riled up over plans for central EDH Sel Richard Staff writer Faced with opposition from El Dorado Hills residents regarding the proposed development of the old executive golf course property in El Dorado Hills, Kirk Bone, director of government relations for Parker Development Company, said the company would consider selling the land at Monday night’s special meeting of the El Dorado County Planning Commission on the Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. The air charged with dissension, it was standing room only at District Church where a special meeting was scheduled to accommodate residents unable to attend regular Planning Commission meetings held during working hours. With the sole agenda item being the Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan, county staff and Parker Development’s representatives kicked off the meeting with an hour-long, high-level overview of the project to benefit firsttime attendees. Their efforts were met with impatience and irritation from a public itching to voice opinions. County staff consultant Pat Angell determined that the project does meet certain General Plan policy requirements but admitted, “The project would conflict with the landuse designations in the area,” referring to the General Plan amendment to change the old executive golf course parcel’s designation from open space/ recreational to residential. Bone voiced concern for the housing crisis with difficulties statewide in getting new development projects approved and reiterated Parker’s futile efforts to keep the golf course open, calling it financially unfeasible. But the surprise of the evening came when Bone disclosed Parker Development Company would be amenable to a possible sale of the golf course. As he was about to sit down at the conclusion of his presentation, he hopped back up to the podium to a protesting crowd to add, “We are open to evaluating alternatives to what’s in front of you this evening, including acquisition of the land. If you can set up meetings with the CSD or the county, we are open to those negotiations.” The first to kick off public comment,

Hundreds of residents fill the District Church auditorium in El Dorado Hills Monday night for the El Dorado County Planning Commission’s special meeting on the Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. El Dorado Hills Community Services District General Manager Kevin Loewen was quick to respond. “If there’s a willing, reasonable seller, we’re going to engage,” Loewen said. All members of the CSD board spoke in support of the community’s desire to keep the golf course land as currently zoned. Public comment ensued for almost three hours, with residents raising issues such as traffic, environment, geology, impacted schools, property rights, land use technicalities, affordable housing and preservation of cultural artifacts. Not a single remark made was in favor of the project. Prevailing arguments centered around the project’s rezone requirement of the golf course. One resident pointed out several inconsistencies in the project with General Plan objectives. “Land use should contribute to the quality of life and economic health and community pride of county residents,” he quoted from the General Plan. “Parker Development has not met with the community to find out
what’s important to it. What we’ve gotten is a presentation to APAC and the Planning Commission that says basically this is a take-it-or-leave-it proposition, which I say, leave it. We don’t want it,” he concluded as his comments were met with applause. The Area Planning Advisory Committee voted unanimously to recommend against the project last Wednesday, submitting a 37-page report supporting its decision. Former District 4 Supervisor Ron Briggs referred to the golf course as the gateway to El Dorado County, advocating for its preservation. “(Parker Development) bought the land when it was open space. He knew what he was doing when he bought it,” Briggs said. District 2 Planning Commissioner Gary Miller said this was the first special meeting held after hours in a location proximate to the project in question and its affected community in his six years of tenure on the commission. It marks a change in policy as the commission is planning two more special meetings to involve homeowners in upcoming projects.
El Dorado County District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl was present and appeared to be the sole supervisor in attendance. “I was overwhelmed by the attendance at the meeting of approximately 450 residents,” he said. “The community of EDH has clearly spoken and been heard.” Hidahl said he was encouraged by Bone’s offer to consider other options for the golf course site, specifically selling the property at a fair price, as well as the CSD’s willingness to meet. “I will do everything possible within my authority to facilitate this opportunity.” The commission will make its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors Feb. 13. Residents are welcome to attend but there will be no public comment. Written comments will be accepted by the commission up to that date. District 2 Supervisor Shiva Frentzen has requested an additional meeting in El Dorado Hills during evening hours for the board to hear public comments prior to making the final decision on the project. This meeting is as yet unscheduled.
“I am so grateful that my father lives at Eskaton. The staff are very friendly and caring; always aware of the needs and feelings of the residents. The food is great and the community is beautiful. It certainly deserves 5 stars.” - G R AT E F U L FA M I LY M E M B E R

These issues need attention
A
s the state Legislature reconvenes for the second half of the biennial session, we will see a flurry of activity as Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers his second State of the State address and proposes a 202021 budget, based on DAN WALTERS an assumption that the state’s record-long economic expansion will continue for at least another year. The early flurry will also include the every-otheryear ritual of legislators trying to resuscitate their bills that didn’t make it in 2019. There’s a brief window for legislative revival before lawmakers turn their attention to new bills. While hundreds of new measures will be dropped into the legislative mill, there are a few issues that should top the Capitol’s agenda, to wit: Housing — The state’s acute shortage of housing continues to worsen because we’re building about half of what we need. Last year, those in the Capitol took only baby steps toward encouraging more investment in housing and one big step — rent control — that, if anything, discourages that investment. We must make it easier for housing developers to navigate regulatory red tape and overcome local governments’ resistance if the state is to attract the tens of billions of dollars in housing investments it needs. Homelessness — Our chronic shortage of housing is a major factor in California’s having at least 150,000 homeless residents, a quarter of the national homeless population. Many of those living on the streets are there because of mental or substance abuse problems, or are former prison inmates, and we’ve done a poor job of dealing with them. The state is beginning to experiment with compelling the mentally ill to enter care and treatment programs, and that could be a step in the right direction, but much more is needed to deal with what polls find to be Californians’ No. 1 concern. Pacific Gas and Electric — The nation’s largest investor-owned utility is in bankruptcy because of huge claims from wildfire victims and figuring how — and if — it should be reconfigured is work that cannot be postponed. Newsom says he wants big structural changes, but has not specified what. Meanwhile, competing Wall Street factions are fighting over control of the company, fire victims want compensation, and some political figures want PG&E to cease being privately owned. California must also address other wildfire-related issues, such as restricting development in fire-prone areas and perhaps creating some form of master insurance for fire losses rather than fighting over liability after the fact. Water — Former Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration worked on so-called “voluntary agreements” to resolve decades of political infighting over how much agricultural water could be drawn out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Trump interjected himself by promising more water for farmers, and then Newsom reacted by promising to block Trump in court. ■

Letters to the Editor Thanking the community EDITOR: n behalf of myself and the homeless community living along Upper Broadway, we’d like to thank the residents of our community who took the time to stop and provide food and needed supplies during the holiday season. Numerous people, including families, couples and teens, stopped to visit and drop off food, holiday treats and gifts (hygiene supplies, socks, hand warmers) and it was very appreciated. Thank you for thinking of us during the holidays. CHUCK BOYER Placerville
O
Alternative tax ideas EDITOR: s tax season approaches I thought I would share some ideas about automatic taxation without keeping extensive records. One alternative tax method is a tiny transactional tax on trading stocks, bonds and currencies. Such a vast number of financial transactions occur daily that a small-percentage tax on each purchase and sale would generate ample taxes. Another unusual tax source occurs each time banking computations occur. Almost always a fraction of a cent is left over. These fractions are called mils because they are a thousandth of a dollar. Nobody would notice if each mil in every banking transaction were rounded up to a full penny and sent electronically to the IRS. Most people have heard of this third method of gathering taxes without keeping extensive records: a 17 percent flat tax on all cash register transactions except on food and health. This also ignores barter and gifts not through a cash register. Online purchases are deemed cash register events. The fourth method of generating taxes reduces the need for taxation by supplementing every citizen’s income. This method requires each citizen to have a photo ID that functions as a debit card. Every citizen over 18 years old receives $1,000 added to their debit card every 10 days. But this scrip is self-depreciating. It depreciates 1 percent every day so that after 100 days all funds have disappeared. This self-depreciation feature permits transactional scrip to be issued without creating debt. All businesses will increase their cost by at least
A
1 percent to remain solvent. Depreciation occurs at midnight daily so businesses may close early to permit them to transfer payments to suppliers before midnight. Suppliers will adjust their prices accordingly. At first self-depreciating scrip appears to be a nuisance, but it may be useful as we transition away from debt-based fiat currency into a modern-assetbased blockchain currency. It will also cushion the blow to workers who are replaced by robots. Hopefully these alternative methods of taxation will rid us of the annual hassle of assembling numerous papers recording our income every tax season. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville
Not proud of the president EDITOR: was incredulous as I read Nancy Hendrick’s letter to the editor “Proud of our President” (Mountain Democrat, Jan. 10). On the other hand, I felt the following letter from Scott Taylor to be right on point. I personally see this as a particularly bleak period for any in the GOP. Trump is no Ronald Reagan, that’s for sure. To quote veteran Republican strategist Rob Stutzman, “He (Trump) has no comprehension of the founder’s central principles of liberty and freedom, he’s constitutionally illiterate, revives hateful ideologies that have taken centuries to suppress, is an isolationist protectionist and admires the world’s dictators more than fellow Americans tortured by our enemies.” It’s a shame so many elected Republicans are held hostage to Trump. It’s hard to imagine how they can stomach his lying and apparent impeachable behavior. If they cannot stand up to Trump — like McClintock. who is firmly attached you-knowwhere — then they should (along with Trump) be voted out of office. I think this is imperative if we are to move this country and our democracy back in the right direction. BILL COLLINS Camino

Little by little, and sometimes in great big chunks, dementia ripped holes in the fabric of her being, allowing the essence of who she was to slip away, leaving a familiarWENDY looking stranger. Every goodbye was a real goodbye because the things Mom could do changed, the way she reacted changed, the food she liked changed and the parts of her that seemed essentially her changed. Each time you leave a loved one with dementia you’re saying goodbye to the person you knew, the things they could do and the things and people they remember. The next time you see them, even if it’s the next day, they will be different. We learned to change with Mom’s changes, to love whoever she was. But I still miss my mom, my best friend, my biggest fan. Dementia took away the loving
mother who was interested in what I was doing and who shared with me the new trails she and my step-dad discovered, the new recipe she’d tried, the fun she was having learning to do rock polishing. It took away her conversation, the ability to ask questions SCHULTZ and to make decisions. It took away her words, leaving her with one phrase — ”I love you”— and the word “no.” These were her survival words —the one that told people what she didn’t want and the phrase that told people she was still there. At the end, those words left her as well. Dementia took almost everything — everything except her delight in flowers, trees and oceans, her joy in music and her love of chocolate. When she refused a Hershey’s kiss, I knew it was the end. Dementia didn’t just take Mom; it also took the family stories she knew and her memories of my grandparents

and great aunts and uncles. It took her world-famous red potato salad. The executive secretary who had worked all her life for powerful people like William Harrah, raised two children on her own and learned to ski at 40 disappeared through one of dementia’s holes. The mother who laughed until she cried with me when my pet rat climbed into a visiting salesman’s suitcoat pocket during his spiel was gone. In her place was a woman with whom I did the same puzzles I did with my 3-yearold granddaughter and then I had to say goodbye to that woman too. The woman who never went outside without full makeup, loved well-fitting clothing and got her hair done every week started wearing her jammies all day long. She forgot how to apply makeup and brush her teeth. The vegetarian who spent two years in a commune doing yoga and meditation at age 50 began eating roast beef, sleeping all day and roaming the halls of the memory care facility at night. Mom was sensitive about her age and once when her wallet was stolen, she used her baptismal certificate to
get a new driver’s license, making herself five years younger. She was unrepentant when her deception was exposed. If dementia hadn’t stolen her numbers I know she would never, ever have admitted to being 87. The last time I saw my mother was the first time she didn’t remember my name. She’d lost the names of other loved ones through the years, including her husband of 40 years, but she remembered my name. The bond between mother and child is a primal thing, however, and although Mom didn’t know my name anymore she still knew who I was. When I told her, that last visit, that I loved her she could no longer talk. Instead, every time I said “I love you” she hummed and I could hear her love coming through the phone. My grandparents waited nine years for their beloved only child to come along. When she did she also became the beloved only child for her aunt and uncle who had no children of their own. She was loved by my father, by my brother, our step-father, my

The new Vintage Grace building in El Dorado Hills is expected to be completed this summer.
Vintage Grace’s 26,000-squarefoot church going up in EDH Sel Richard Staff writer “A chance to serve the community of El Dorado Hills” is the inspiration for the new building quickly taking shape on the corner of El Dorado Hills Boulevard and Serrano Parkway/Lassen Lane, said Drew Sodestrom, lead pastor at Vintage Grace Church. Sodestrom and his wife Jen, Vintage Grace kids’ pastor, moved to El Dorado Hills six years ago with their three children and have since built a congregation that has their current digs bursting at the seams. Starting out at Marina Village Middle School, they were approached by Cornerstone Church to join forces and take over the building, a fortuitous development that led to a thriving ministry and the decision to erect a new structure to not only accommodate a burgeoning flock, but also provide a community resource. After three years at this location, the Sodestroms decided it was time to expand. “We exist to serve our city and we’re limited in the ways that we can do that,” explained Drew as to the impetus for building the new sanctuary now. “We’re also limited in how well we can serve on Sundays because of space, so this was a way
Walters
to address both of those issues at the same time.” Vintage Grace Church has also built a small park behind it that is open to the public. The new, two-story building sports a footprint of 26,000 square feet and reaches 51 feet at its tallest point. The upper floor houses a spacious sanctuary where the Sodestroms plan to hold worship services plus a nursery or “cry” room for babies, a classroom, a foyer that opens out onto an outdoor covered patio as well as rooms for storage, an electrical equipment room, an audio/visual room, a green/prep room and restrooms. The ground floor will offer two open spaces, one for a ministry support room for large gatherings and the other for offices, which Sodestrom dubbed the “bullpen.” Two more classrooms, a supply closet and more restrooms round out the lower level. Vintage Grace offers four Sunday services, but the new structure will allow the Sodestroms to streamline their current service schedule down to two. If the congregation continues to grow, they will gladly add another service back into the lineup. The building is on track to be completed by this summer with a grand opening scheduled for the fall. “We haven’t had a lot of
delays, thankfully,” said Drew. “Our hope is not only to have space for the church to use it on Sundays, but to use it midweek to serve the city.” Already the church hosts Little League teams and recovery groups, but would like to expand and serve additional sports leagues, schools and other groups throughout El Dorado Hills. Groups will be able to sign up through the Vintage Grace Church website to use the spaces. “We like to be very generous,” Jen said of their decision to balance the cost of the expansion with their service objectives. “How do we keep being generous but still make enough space?” The Soderstroms have made financially conservative decisions, making sure they can continue to contribute to causes for which they feel strongly. The church is involved in ventures such as Child Headed Households in Africa that helps kids who have lost their parents in the South Sudan civil war and has also partnered with local foster care systems. “We are currently giving 15 percent of whatever money comes in to projects and ministries that are not Vintage Grace and our goal is to give 50 percent someday,” Drew said.

The exchange of political salvoes threatens to derail the negotiations on a master Delta deal and they need to get back on track. Assembly Bill 5 — This union-sponsored legislation, implementing a state Supreme Court decision, seeks to convert hundreds of thousands of contract workers into payroll employees, but has spawned economic, political and legal chaos, including federal lawsuits and a proposed ballot measure seeking to undermine the law. While deliberate, exploitive misclassification of workers is wrong, so is a law that coerces those genuinely preferring freelance or independent employment. The situation cries out for some workable compromise that protects the interests of
both categories. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

County rivals meet on the hardwood Lady Cougars win thriller Kevin Christensen Staff writer It took extra time to settle the contest between the Lady Cougars of El Dorado High School and the Union Mine High School Lady Diamondbacks Wednesday. The Lady Cougars were victorious, winning 43-39 in overtime in front of packed gym at home. Both teams gave everything in the extra period in the hotly contested Sierra Valley Conference game.
“That was hard-fought and grindit-out type of game,” said El Dorado’s head coach Larry Gray. “I was really happy with the girls composure in overtime to get this win.” The victory puts El Dorado at 13-6 on the season and 2-0 in league play. The tough loss leaves the Diamondbacks at 6-10 and 1-1 in league play. The Lady Cougars were led by junior guard Haley Kline with 20 points and senior power forward Kim Quicksall who added 14 points. Union Mine senior small forward Kyla Denault scored 10 points and senior
forward Ali McDonald returned from injury to grab 19 rebounds. “This group really has heart and battles in practice,” added Gray. “We really wanted this win tonight in front of our home crowd.” Gray said the team is counting on senior point guard Mekenzie Byers to lead ball handling duties for the Cougars as the team learned they will be without starting point guard Daily Applegarth due to a torn ACL.
“We are really proud of Mekenzie’s effort and composure stepping up,” Gray said. “She’s a smart and good player.” The teams will meet again Jan. 31 at Union Mine in what promises to be another close game. “Both teams will make adjustments I am sure,” explained Gray. “It will come down to defense and who wants it more.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll consider carefully the expenditure of investments in all currencies, the least significant being money. Money can be made, whereas once you spend time, you can never get it back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The new deal you come up with will be totally free of old baggage and will have the best chance of blossoming into results that satisfy all parties and promote goodness in the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To give someone what they weren’t expecting and didn’t ask for is a chance to blow someone’s mind -- or annoy them. Either way, it’s a risk that you might just be daring (or bored) enough to find worthwhile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Honor the instinct to conserve your energy. Probably, you sense that this drama swirl just isn’t worthy of your engagement. Also, there’s something exciting on the horizon that you’ll want to be ready for. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Communication will be complicated. It’s not so easy to express the emotions that come up -- yet you’ll feel compelled to. This could be the perfect storm from which comes great art. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re an expert, and this is just the beginning of what you’ll become. Here comes a scenario you’re overqualified to deal with, and yet solutions elude you. It’s an opportunity to cast your net wider.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you talk off of the top of your head and it doesn’t come out the way you want it to. But most people hear your intentions and your heart. Either that or they hear what they want to hear, which you can’t control anyway. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Why bother integrating your mind and body? Because any division that exists here cuts you off from your joy. Happiness requires both your body’s vital presence and your mind’s consciousness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To go for the shortterm gain will be a mistake in the long run. The mature choice seems less appealing, but the immature one will be embarrassing in retrospect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is an island within you where you can take refuge, where peace, love and freedom exist in perpetuity. You don’t have to wait until things get difficult to go there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). We each carry indelible marks of lineage, especially our spiritual lineage. There’s no need to worry about what happened in a past life. This one has been full of lessons. You’ll apply one in particular today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your powers of concentration will be exceptional today. Wield this well to digest weighty and complex matters. You really could come up with the world’s most unique answer.

place on East Road off Lindbergh Avenue. Despite numerous false sightings and leads that dead-ended, despite friends and neighbors pitching in for days and weeks to help search outbuildings and other likely locales a curious cat might seek after making a break, Leo hadn’t come home as the new year began. All the comments they had heard about coyotes known to roam the area, anecdotes about mountain lions cruising through, left the family’s positive thoughts edged in black, and as phone calls and tips slowly subsided, so too did their hopes. Until the doorbell rang Friday morning, Jan. 11, and Doug wondered who would be calling at 11 in the morning. “I looked out and saw the top of a child’s head — at first I didn’t realize he was with a woman — and that woman was carrying a bundle, like a blanket — and that inside that bundle was a cat.” “Is this Leo, the cat with the bowtie?” queried Nicole, a nearby resident who heads the Lindbergh Avenue area neighborhood watch. Sure enough, the collar with the snazzy bow-tie accessory still was secure around the same orange neck that was no more than a blur when Leo flew out the front door as Doug helped wife Liz retrieve groceries, so long ago. The collar was noticeably dirtier, the cat’s neck definitely scrawny — but by golly, 47 days later, it was Leo. (Incidentally, the newspaper managed to glean a few thoughts from the feline when the others weren’t looking, during a party at the Shelstad house Wednesday evening to welcome him home. He had a couple things to say about the bow-tie collar, along with some observations about the costumes he modeled during the party. More later.) “I told Nicole yes, it’s Leo and after that, the rest is just kind of scattered because I was so surprised and excited,” recalled Doug. “I couldn’t believe it. “Nicole said she had seen him around a barn on her property but when she tried to approach him, he ran into the barn. Her 4-year-old son thought of getting dog food to coax him out — and it worked.” As a matter of fact, said Doug, Leo has been eating constantly since coming home. No exaggeration, confirmed Hayley and Jordyn, the cat has been hungry. Leo scowled, then imparted to the newspaper: “Big surprise, I was hungry. Do you have any clue what’s out there for dinner? Trust me, kitty kibble doesn’t grow on trees. If I’d known meals would be missed, I might have rethought my plan to sneak out and see the world.” Getting back to Friday, Doug said he immediately began checking out the skinny, prodigal cat and it sank in that the normally talkative Leo hadn’t uttered a single meow. He also noticed that the fluffy orange tail that Leo loves to wave about, loves to thump on the floor, was standing stiffly at attention. A call to Slate Creek Animal Hospital convinced him a trip to the vet was crucial. “I couldn’t find our cat carrier, of course, so I put him in an ice chest and had to use tape to keep the lid closed.” Getting Leo to the vet was a great idea, as X-rays confirmed there were bones of small creatures, mice and other voles presumably, that showed up in his intestinal organs. He was having trouble moving the mass through his system, and his tail signaled his discomfiture. “What was I supposed to do, already? Ever bite down on a furry bone? I’d like to see one of them figure out how to outwit a mole — they might be blind but they’re canny. And faster than you might think.” He might have been speechless when he first came home, but that too has changed. Once back from the vet, Doug said Leo seemed relieved and wanted to tell the world how much better he felt. “He talked a lot,” said Doug, smiling
at the tabby who just about that time appeared to be trying to sidle from the front room and exit behind a wall as Jordyn and Hayley laughed as they placed a cat costume on the carpet. “Oh, no, they surely aren’t doing what I think they’re doing. I just came home after 47 days and yeah, the vet said I was in pretty good shape and will make a full recovery — but honestly — not the Gingerbread Man.” Leo managed to slip around the corner into another room where another Shelstad house cat, Lexi, joined him. But the tactic ultimately failed as Jordyn scooped him into her arms and headed back to the party. Moments later the adorable orange tabby with the soulful, golden eyes took on the persona of the Gingerbread Man, prompting smiles and laughter from all the humans in the room as he glared at the lens of a camera marking the moment. (Sorry, Leo). In addition to the nearly non-stop eating (“He even started chewing on the end of my sandwich, while I was eating it!” said Jordyn), Leo has made it clear he never wants to leave his family again. “He started purring the minute he saw me and he didn’t stop purring for two days,” said the 12-year-old, who has grown up with Leo in her life since she was 2. The cat she picked out at an animal shelter and calls her brother has helped mold her childhood, being a constant, comforting presence that blessed her days. Mom Hayley also credits Leo with powers of love and healing, providing positive energy as she deals with a devastating, life-altering illness that kicked the former crosstraining competitor into a tailspin. Doug, who said Leo lately has been joining him whenever he sits in his recliner, “molding himself to my body,” doubts that the orange fellow who dropped a few pounds during his rebellious run ever will want to streak past his legs again and out the front door. “His personality has changed,” said Doug. “He seems to have matured, he’s more thoughtful. And any time we open the front door, he goes somewhere else — he doesn’t seem at all interested in escaping again.” Those familiar with the awardwinning film of 1966, “Born Free,” by now likely are seeing parallels in Leo’s story and the true account of the African lioness raised as a cub by a couple who would try to return the big girl back to the jungle and grass plains of Kenya. They were forced to choose between a zoo and returning to the wild, after authorities decided they no longer could keep the full-grown lion as a pet, due to unfortunate circumstances. The Shelstads said they aren’t familiar with the film, which features the lovable, placid lion named Elsa nearly dying after several attempts to turn her into a wild lion. But after fighting another female lion within a pride of beasts — and winning — the couple declares she is returned to freedom. Spoiler alert: The couple a year later find their beloved Elsa in her wild habitat; she has cubs of her own and her personality has changed into that of a proud, wild creature. “OK, all I did was catch a few mice and find random cat food left out on the porch by some folks — but look, that African lion chick didn’t have to wear a bow-tie around her neck while she was out there. You should have heard the coyotes snickering — why do you think I headed for that barn? And do you think she would have had a shot, showing up where all the other lions were, if she was wearing Gingerbread Man gear?” Leo has a point. However he survived for 47 days that included angry storms, plummeting temperatures and wandering predators, chances are the fashion “faux-paw” he mentioned regarding the African lion would have resulted in consequences that would have been severe on the savannah. You survived, Leo, and that’s every bit as impressive as “Born Free.” But let’s keep your story titled “Born to Stay Home,” OK?

out there, it’s disingenuous.” While serving as supervisor of District 2 in May 2013, Nutting was arrested on suspicion of felony charges of failing to disclose income, filing false documents, perjury and failing to recuse himself from votes in which he had a financial interest, among other offenses. After a year in limbo, Nutting was acquitted of most felony charges but subsequently found guilty on misdemeanor charges of accepting loans from county employees or contractors in May 2014. Felony charges of filing false documents ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury. In June 2014 Judge Timothy Buckley ruled that Nutting’s seat would be vacated due to his misdemeanor charges and the former supervisor would serve three years probation. A special election was held for his vacated seat in September 2014. The winner of that election, Shiva Frentzen, who also won in 2016, is termed-out. The primary election will be held March 3, 2020.

who cares about helping others less fortunate, Hidahl cites his 41 years in the private sector and 33 years as an El Dorado Hills Fire Board director as reasons he stands apart from other candidates. He relies on 20 years of program management experience in controlling costs, meeting schedules and applying leading-edge technology. During his current term, Hidahl voted against Dixon Ranch and Saratoga retail developments, two proposals he said he thinks would have compromised the existing residents’ “quality of life.” He supported El Dorado Hills Town Center Apartments and Saratoga Estates, a project that establishes the road connection to Folsom through Saratoga Way/Wilson Way to Iron Point Road, calling them “responsible growth” projects. If re-elected, Hidahl pledges to maintain the commitments of his first term to a balanced budget, preservation of open space and senior housing. He also hopes to restore the Green Valley Road and Bass Lake Road expansion and safety projects removed from county transportation plans in 2016 “to improve Green Valley Road and Bass Lake Road as originally promised to the community.” In addition Hidahl said he plans to support a solid Traffic Impact Mitigation fee program to ensure planned road improvements will be funded as well as obtain commitments for the prompt construction of the community park adjacent to Sellwood Park in Serrano.
Hidahl also envisions creating a vocational training facility in El Dorado Hills to help youth to obtain well-paying jobs while continuing to bring jobs to El Dorado County via effective economic development policies. Hidahl revealed that one topic that has him concerned involves land use and development issues. “The county General Plan defines the need for more housing to meet state requirements. El Dorado County is non-compliant in meeting these allocations and the state is applying more pressure with threats of punitive action,” he explained. Other top concerns for Hidahl include homelessness and people on fixed incomes, non-renewal of fire insurance policies in rural areas, the recent trend in declining property tax revenues and the resultant need to cut county jobs and services and the lack of new revenue sources to fill the property tax revenue gap. As an Eagle Scout, Hidahl actively supports local Scout organizations, the Placerville Nomadic Shelter group and the Lighted Candle, which serves the county’s homeless population. He enjoys spending time with his family, traveling and being outdoors. “My personal motto is ‘service before self,’” said Hidahl. Former District 4 Supervisor Ron Briggs, El Dorado Hills attorney Wayne Haug and EDH Community Services District Board President Benjamin Paulsen are also running for the District 1 seat. The primary election will be held March 3.

ird lovers are invited to the 21st annual Snow Goose Festival of the Pacific Flyway, Jan. 22-26 in Chico. This action-packed, five-day event celebrates the millions of waterfowl and thousands of raptors that migrate along the Pacific Flyway and call the northern Sacramento Valley their home during the winter months. This is one of the least explored and most amazingly diverse areas of California, with habitats that include rivers and wetlands, sweeping plains and grasslands, rolling foothills, sheltered canyons and mountain peaks. Guests can choose to take a guided tour of a nature preserve, visit a local vineyard, hike the scenic Sutter Buttes in search of lofty views and resident wildlife or watch a demonstration of
live raptors. The event also features a wildlife art exhibit with art by numerous artists whose subjects include birds, other wildlife and habitat along the Pacific Flyway. This impressive art exhibit at the Museum of Northern California Art will feature a variety of media, including sculpture, clay, oils, fiber arts, watercolor, acrylics, mixed media, glass and photography. The biggest event of the Snow Goose Festival is the Gathering of Wings Banquet. This treasured evening provides a mix of great food, great company and great entertainment as well as a presentation — “The Gift of Watching Birds” by keynote speaker Karen Amstutz, a professional naturalist and environmental educator — and a silent auction.

Musicians have family ties with strings attached News release

nConcert Sierra presents a worldclass family affair with the Escher String Quartet and guest cellist David Speltz at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19. The Escher String Quartet is one of the fastest rising stars of North American string quartets. The ensemble features violinists Brendan Speltz and Adam Barnett-Hart, cellist Brook Speltz and violist Pierre Lapointe. The name Speltz may sound familiar to Nevada County audiences since David Speltz, father of quartet members Brook and Brendan, has performed locally for years as the principal cellist for the InConcert Sierra Orchestra. The quartet is named after graphic artist M.C. Escher who is noted for his “impossible constructions.” The quartet is also known for impossible constructions due to their simultaneous showcasing of each instrument’s part while melding them into one, for a remarkable sound. As The Guardian noted, the ensemble’s members display “fabulous unanimity, tonal warmth and care over detail.”

The Escher String Quartet brings its talents to Grass Valley Sunday. The quartet will perform Webern’s haunting “Six Bagatelles, Op. 9,” Kreisler’s dramatic and playfully beautiful “Quartet in A Minor” and David Speltz will join the ensemble for Schubert’s remarkable “Quintet for Strings in C Major, D. 956.” Quintets are usually scored for standard string quartet with an extra viola instead of a cello. Many consider Schubert’s String
Quintet one of the pinnacle masterpieces in the entire chamber repertoire. The Escher String Quartet is a former BBC New Generation Artist, performing as a regular guest at London’s Wigmore Hall. In its home town of New York, the ensemble serves as Season Artists of the prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. David Speltz was a
member of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra under Sir Neville Marriner and served as principal cellist of the California Chamber Orchestra under Henri Temianka. He has also, in the course of 44-plus years, played in Hollywood studio orchestras for more than 1,000 movies. “I can’t think of anything more fulfilling and emotionally satisfying than performing
great music with my sons and on such a high level to boot,” said Speltz. “What’s great about this occasion is joining my boys in a community so dear to my heart,” Speltz continued. “My wife Connie and I were introduced to Nevada County 18 years ago performing for Indian Springs Vineyard fundraising events. n

raft winery Feist in Sutter Creek will host music Friday and Saturday night of the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. This hip, understated tasting room is at the forefront of a town that is increasingly becoming steeped in quality music. Friday, Jan. 17, Danny Morris & the California Stars takes the stage. “They play country music the way it used to be — stripped down, honest, blue collar and raw with influences like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and
Willie Nelson,” said Aaron Carnes of Sacramento News & Review. The band performs in a harddriving, hard-drinking, hardliving style. Not to be mistaken for neo-traditionalists, these musicians bring a healthy dose of rock and roll to the party. The result is a mix of classic country songs and rocking originals with a focus on the country music triumvirate — drinking, heartache and murder. Saturday night Los Angeles band The Deltaz performs with a unique blend of blues and country. The set list encompasses a wide range of music from psychedelic rock to classic
country and folk. Band member Ted Siegel has grown into one of the sharpest guitarists among the independent scene in Los Angeles while commanding drummer John Siegel has expanded his role in the group over the years to include impressive harmonica work and vocal harmonies that leave audiences overwhelmed at his coordination. The two work with each other, feeding off of each other’s talents to bring everclimactic performances. General admission tickets are available at the door. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. at Feist Wines, 15 Eureka St., Sutter Creek.

BUTTERED AND SALTY ‘The Lighthouse’ ★★★ 1/2 R, 1 hour, 49 minutes - Drama, Fantasy, Horror Now available on DVD/ Blu-Ray and streaming services
Joshua B. Porter
S
ome movies just Democrat correspondent feel like cinema. The look. The dialog. The feel of the environment. They have a tangible quality that seeps out of their pores. “The Lighthouse” is one of those films. Robert Eggers’ film is about two lighthouse keepers trying to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. To say Mr. Eggers can set a mood would be an understatement. The entire movie excels in the realm of atmosphere. Shot on 35mm black and white film with vintage Baltar lenses from as early as 1918 to as late as 1938, this makes the movie’s aspect ratio approximately 1.19:1 (practically square), so don’t think there is anything wrong with your modern high-definition widescreen television. Jarin Blaschke’s cinematography conveys a sense of dread and claustrophobia. It’s no surprise he was nominated for “Best Cinematography” at this year’s Oscars. What is a surprise is the lack of any additional nominations for this film, particularly Willem Dafoe (“The Last Temptation of Christ”), who continues to cement his reputation as one of our greatest living actors. How he didn’t get a nomination for “Best Supporting Actor” is anyone’s guess. I can only assume that since the role isn’t flashy and the movie is smaller (by Hollywood standards) it was brushed aside for other, more high-profile performances. Personally, I would move either Tom Hanks (“A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood”) or Brad Pitt

(“Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood”) out of the way to make room for Dafoe, who gets completely lost in the role of Thomas Howard. Kudos to Robert Pattinson as well. While he may not have made the nominated list either, he gives a very strong performance. I am completely confident in his ability to play Bruce Wayne/ Batman in next year’s “The Batman” after seeing him here. He’s been doing good work for a few years now, post “Twilight.” The story, co-written by Director Robert Eggers and his brother Max, is quiet with sparse dialog. When the characters speak it means something. When Dafoe delivers one of his monologues, it’s a powerhouse moment. The Blu-Ray version of the film includes the solid, three-part featurette “The Lighthouse: A Dark & Stormy Tale,” a fascinating director’s

This marks the largest Rolling World Premiere in NNPN’s history with 11 productions being produced in the 2019-20 season nationwide. In her Capital Stage debut, Kristin Clippard will direct this 2018 David Calicchio Emerging American Playwright Prize winner. The cast will feature Stephanie Altholz, Janet Motenko and new to Capital Stage: Amy Kelly and Susan Maris.
The play “Alabaster” is an all-female, darkly comic southern drama about women on the verge, art and the power of human connection. After a tornado barrels through a north Alabama town leaving nothing but death and destruction, only June and her wisecracking pet goat Weezy live to tell the tale. When Alice, a prominent photographer, arrives to take pictures of June’s scars, every living soul on the farm is tipped to the breaking point in this epic tale of life after death.
Cefaly is a recipient of grants from the Boomerang Fund for Artists as well as the Alabama and Maryland state arts councils.
The director Clippard has worked as a theater artist (director, actor, teacher, administrator, dramaturg, producer) across the U.S. for many years. She holds a BFA in acting from Wright State University and an MFA in directing from the University of Iowa. She has trained with Shakespeare & Company in Massachusetts, the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre in Florida, the National Conservatory Theatre in Colorado, foolsFury and the SITI Company in California. Clippard has toured her original one-person show, developed new plays on both coasts, trained dozens of teaching artists and created theater with at-risk populations. She has taught theater to all ages, assisted numerous directors and directed many staged readings of new work. She has served on selection committees for new play competitions and as the producer in residence for Orlando Shakespeare Theatre.

commentary where Eggers tries to explain this madness and two completely unnecessary, deleted scenes. It was nice to see a little effort put into the supplemental material, especially as physical media (and with it disc supplements) is becoming an afterthought for studios. There is also a digital version included with the packaging. “The Lighthouse” isn’t for everyone (some will flat out despise it), but for those that love their mise en scène slow burning, moody and demanding of the viewers patience and imagination, “The Lighthouse” is a winner in what was already a great year for film in 2019. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. He is currently putting the finishing touches on the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State for a 2020 release. He can be reached at @ joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.
Cefaly is a southern writer and Alabama native based in the Washington, D.C., region. She is published by Samuel French, Smith & Kraus (two volumes of Best American Short Plays) and Applause Books.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $167,578.34 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 085364CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Failure of the successful Bidder to meet this Contract requirement will result in the forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION: No contractor or subcontractor may bid on any public works project, be listed in a bid proposal for any public works project, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1. D I S A D VA N TA G E D BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PARTICIPATION: Bidder will take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority firms, women’s business enterprises and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. PREVAIlING WAGE REQUIREMENTS: Contractor’s attention is directed to the requirements of Division 2 Part 7, Chapter 1 of the California Labor Code, including but not limited to Sections 1773, 1773.1, 1773.2, 1773.6, and 1773.7. The general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done has been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 703-4708 or by referring to the website at http:// www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/PWD. The rates at the time of the bid advertisement date of a project will remain in effect for the life of the project in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, as modified and effective January 27, 1997. Copies of the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done are also on file at the Department of Transportation’s principal office, and are available upon request, and in case of projects involving federal funds, federal wage requirements as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor have been included in the Contract Documents. In the case of federally funded projects, where federal and state prevailing wage requirements apply, compliance with both is required. This Project is funded in whole or part by federal funds. Comply with Exhibit D of the Draft Agreement and the Copeland Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 29 CFR Part 3), the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330 and 29 CFR Part 5). If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department of Transportation will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by Contractor and subcontractors, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. AWARD OF CONTRACT: As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit payment and performance bonds along with evidence of insurance prior to execution of the Agreement by the County. Failure to meet this requirement constitutes abandonment of the Bid by the Bidder and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. Award will then be made to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder. RETAINAGE FROM PAYMENTS: The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the Contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the County, by depositing securities of equivalent value with the County in accordance with the provisions of Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code. Securities eligible for deposit hereunder are be limited to those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit.

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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-57183. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
