El Dorado High School student Annabel Maguire takes the podium with her speech on gun violence in front of a packed house at Placerville Town Hall Monday. The community gathered for a celebration, vigil and march to honor Martin Luther King Jr.
His message is alive vigil honors Martin Luther King Jr.
Dylan Svoboda Staff writer The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. was on full display during a celebration honoring the fallen civil rights hero Monday evening at Placerville’s Town Hall. Dozens packed the Main Street hall as they enjoyed uplifting folk songs from the New Freedom Choir, poems from local authors, Martin Luther King Jr. quotes read by young students and powerful speeches from area high school activists. Throughout the evening, one
message stood above all else: the youth’s role in maintaining and furthering the morals passed down by Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired by the harrowing Parkland shooting on Valentine’s Day 2018, El Dorado High School student Annabel Maguire has become a vocal advocate for gun control efforts. During the ceremony, she spoke of the difficulties of being a student in an era full of gun violence. “Gun violence has wreaked havoc on our country for many years and it’s time we stand against it,” she said. “... The fight against gun violence will
not be easy and the NRA will not fall quietly.” King Jr. was assassinated a year before the Stonewall riots and subsequent emergence of the gay rights movement but his words and efforts can be seen as partial inspiration. Taylor Clark, an Oak Ridge High School student, provided some valuable lessons she’s learned through participation in LGBTQ student groups and discovering herself as a queer individual. “I spent a very long time, from n

It was clear to almost everyone in town that the Placerville Downtown Association and city officials weren’t exactly getting along — still, it came as a surprise of sorts last week when the PDA publicly declared the relationship over, telling the City Council it can keep the thousands of dollars it normally gives the promotional organization each year. “They broke up with “We have you before fallen apart. you could break up We don’t even with them,” have (elected) quipped Placerville officers.

Due to recent upheavals in the PDA’s leadership, city officials were concerned, according to the text of the agenda. Clerici, a former City Council member, said the PDA’s announcement that not only would the holiday festival be in danger due to the PDA no longer wishing to accept the city’s contribution and concomitant partnership — that other amenities like the flower baskets along Main Street also could be in jeopardy — but he didn’t appear too concerned. “My gut tells me there will be plenty of money to do the Festival of Lights,” n

Dead boy’s father ID’d by police; still no word on cause of death Pat Lakey Staff writer Placerville police have released the name of the father of an 11-yearold boy whose recent death officials termed “suspicious,” although there still is no word on why the case drew law enforcement attention. No presumed cause of death has been explained by police, leaving the public to speculate on what possibly could have happened to Roman Anthony Lopez, who came to the public’s attention when he was reported missing from a home not far from downtown Placerville Saturday, Jan. 11. The child became the focus of searches by officials and citizen volunteers throughout that day and night, with the community in the vicinity of Coloma and Bee streets breathing a collective sigh of relief when it was reported the next day
that Roman had been “located”; the Police Department thanked those who helped search for the boy in the text of that missive. Later that day, however, police, now having organized a press conference, once again would issue more information: Yes, Roman was found — but he was dead, and his passing apparently is suspicious. Crime scene investigators including personnel from the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s and District Attorney’s offices worked several hours Sunday at 2892 Coloma St., gathering evidence for what potentially could be termed a crime. Without more information from the police, the public has been speculating regarding the boy’s death, with comments on social media showing puzzlement and frustration — and n

It was tow truck operator Jeremiah Duncan with Extreme Towing to the rescue Thursday when he came across a Bay Area family of six whose car careened off an icy Highway 50 near Riverton and plunged down toward the South Fork of the American River. The driver of the car, Charanjit Bhele of San Francisco, said he was heading west on Highway 50 just after 5 p.m. when he lost control of his 2019 Toyota Highlander and slid backward over the embankment. It was snowing in the canyon at the time. His vehicle came to a rest on rocks at the edge of the river. None of the vehicle’s occupants suffered injury. Around the same time a second vehicle spin-out was reported about 1 mile west near Whitehall. California Highway Patrol officer Brent McElmurry also assisted the stranded travelers with traffic stopped in both eastbound and westbound lanes of Highway 50 while Duncan winched the SUV back onto the roadway.

Carmen Riley passed away peacefully on Jan. 13, 2020, in her home, among her family. We are very grateful to Snowline Hospice and the wonderful caring women with Elder Options. Carmen was born to Thomas and Carmen Chapman on Nov. 19, 1933, growing up in San Francisco and graduating from ICA-Cristo Rey Academy then continuing her education at the Academy of Art College. She is preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Paul R. Riley. Paul and Carmen moved their four children to Placerville in 1966, which was a different world for this city girl, but she flourished. Carmen loved animals and cared for many stray and abandoned cats. When Carmen retired after 32 years in the lumber business she became active again in the art world. She was an award winning artist. Carmen was also very devoted to her St. Patrick Lay-Carmelite Community. Carmen loved her family and is survived by her brother Arthur Chapman (Marina), four children, Tim Riley (Cherilyn), Elena Riley-MunozPlaza, Elisa Riley-Weeks(Eric) and Tom Riley (Laurie), eight grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. You always put others’ needs before your own and were kind to everyone. We love you, Mom, Grandma and will miss you. Services will be held Jan. 24, 2020 at St. Patrick Church, 3109 Sacramento St., Placerville, Calif. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode, 6101 Enterprise Dr., Diamond Springs, Calif. 95619.

Bader preliminary hearing continued Dawn Hodson Staff writer
Democrat file photo by Kevin Christensen
A hearing in El Dorado County Superior Court for Shingle Springs veterinarian Dr. Dean Bader, who has been charged with failure to report animal abuse, was pushed to Feb. 26.
A Jan. 16 preliminary hearing on charges against Dr. Dean Bader was continued to February after Deputy District Attorney Lydia Stuart asked for a continuance. Bader, a long time Shingle Springs veterinarian, has been charged with animal cruelty and failure to report animal abuse after 300 animals were removed from property rented by Alma and Charel Winston in Shingle Springs. Bader had been treating many of the animals on the property although his attorney, Dain Weiner, maintains Bader was last on the property two years prior to a search warrant being served on the two women. Stuart, on the other hand, maintains that Bader was the veterinarian of record for the Winstons and a search of their home in 2019 found prescriptions for different animals that were being treated by Bader.
The Winstons recently accepted a plea agreement where they admitted to five counts of felony animal cruelty and were given five years of probation and required to pay restitution for the treatment, care and feeding of the animals impounded by El Dorado County Animal Services last May. In response to Stuart’s request for a continuance, Superior Court Judge Mark Ralphs initially appeared reluctant; he said he needed good cause. Stuart argued a continuance would allow the prosecution to collect more evidence after questions were raised by Judge Ralphs at the previous hearing Jan. 3. The request for a continuance was met with disappointment by many of his supporters in the courtroom as well as from Weiner who told the judge several times he was ready to proceed. Judge Ralphs granted the continuance with the next preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 26.
Tax for up-keep of Kelsey Cemetery on March ballot Kelsey Cemetery District News release Measure C — the Kelsey Cemetery District special tax — is coming up on the March ballot. The Board of Trustees of the Kelsey Cemetery District is asking district residents to approve an $8 per parcel special tax for 10 years to address these issues to protect the history and future of the cemetery. Only voters residing in the district will vote on this measure. A two-thirds majority of votes cast will be necessary to pass this tax. District residents would not be voting on, nor paying the similar tax that had been proposed the county to create a Zone of Benefit funding all cemeteries that are under the management of the county. That vote has been postponed. It would have excluded residents of the Kelsey Cemetery District, as well as the Georgetown Cemetery Zone of Benefit, where residents already pay a special tax of approximately $10 per parcel. It has been tabled indefinitely. The Kelsey Cemetery was deeded to El Dorado County in 1892. A special district was created in 1938 to ensure it would be well taken care of. Since then various teams of five trustees appointed by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors have
been entrusted with the care and maintenance of the cemetery as well as selling burial plots and overseeing burials. The district stretches from the American River north through Kelsey, lower Garden Valley (including the southern two-thirds of Garden Park) and Spanish Flat. Financial support from Proposition 13, passed in 1968, has come from the county General Fund. This amounts to about $1.80 per year for each of the approximately 1,000 parcels in the district. After paying an insurance premium of $1,300, this leaves only about $500 for other expenses. Burial rights sales, endowment fund interest and donations usually allow the current board of trustees to keep up a minimal amount of maintenance. These revenue sources are variable and insufficient to keep up the grounds as they should be. The nearly 60-year-old fence is in disrepair as is the storage and pump house shed. Trees need arborist care, sinking and tilting headstones need to be stabilized and the ongoing battle against weeds and fallen tree limbs needs to be intensified. James Marshall, who discovered gold in Coloma in 1848, spent most of the last 17 years of his life in and around
Residents within the Kelsey Cemetery District will have the choice this March to approve a special tax that would appropriate funding for up-keep at Kelsey Cemetery.

Kelsey and Garden Valley. He died in Kelsey in 1885 in the Union Hotel, which he owned at the time. It served as his residence near the blacksmith shop and several mining properties he owned. Local lore has it that he was first buried at the Kelsey Cemetery and was moved five years later to his current resting place in Coloma. While research shows that this was not the case, he was buried in Coloma a few days after his passing. The Kelsey Pioneer Cemetery does include in its list of denizens many of Marshall’s friends, ■

Tree removal work to start in advance of U.S. Highway 50 Project Caltrans News release Caltrans is alerting the public that tree removal work will be taking place over the next few weeks in areas within the upcoming Highway 50 Camino Safety Project. Approximately 100-120 trees need to be removed to avoid disturbing birds during the spring nesting season. Work is expected to start the week of Jan. 20 and intermittent lane closures will be required to haul off trees. Construction of the $55.4 million safety project is scheduled to start in April or May after the contract is awarded. The purpose of the project is to improve safety on Highway 50 along the Camino corridor by constructing a concrete median barrier between
Still Meadow Road and upper Carson Road. The first stage of the project also includes replacing deteriorated culverts in the Placerville area and constructing a wildlife undercrossing between Placerville and Camino. An opening in the new median barrier will be maintained at Camino Heights Drive until an undercrossing is built in the second stage of the project, which is scheduled to start later this year. Local roadway improvements will be constructed in conjunction with the undercrossing. All work on the project is expected to be completed by December 2022. Project partners include the El Dorado County Department of Transportation, which is providing $7.3 million in funding, and the El Dorado County Transportation Commission.
BOS decides against raising appeal fee Dylan Svoboda Staff Writer Despite a plea from the county’s department of planning and building, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors decided against raising fees on land-use appeals. The board chose to keep the land-use appeal fee in the county at $239. Planning and building recommended raising the fee to $943 plus “time and materials” costs to cover staffing expenses associated with appeals. The board stayed open to the possibility of increasing appeal fees in the future but chose to stick with the current rate after considering a fee in the $500 to $750 range. The board vowed to wait for improvements from the county planning and building department, who have seen an outsized number of appeals in
recent years, before making it more expensive to challenge a project. “It seems like we’re punishing [the public] for an appeal,” Hidahl said. “I’m hopeful that we are going to reduce the number of appeals going forward … We’re seeing a disproportionately higher number of appeals and maybe as we improve our processes and get out new board protocol in place, we’ll have less appeals going forward.” The county’s appeal is much lower than some neighboring counties. Placer County’s appeal fee is set at $602 and Yolo County’s is $941, according to District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl. But El Dorado has far exceeded those counties’ appeal numbers in recent years. Hidahl added that there are about five appeals per year in El Dorado
County, compared to two and 1.3 in Placer and Yolo counties, respectively. The loss in public trust and backlash isn’t worth the minuscule amount of revenue the county would generate from the increase, according to county auditor-controller Joe Harn. “I think this is the wrong time to raise the fees for these appeals,” he said. “... There are some cases, in my opinion, of appeals that come before your board that are totally appropriate ... “… The public relations damage of what raising this fee is going to be isn’t worth the amount of revenue you’re going to collect over the next fiscal year. The public wants to believe, and should believe, that they can get a fair hearing before your board if they have a legitimate concern about a land-use action.”

BAD BREATH AND GUM DISEASE
At the first sign of bad breath (halitosis), most people brush their teeth and reach for the mouthwash. While these measures may treat bad breath caused by odorous foods, they are not enough to cure bad breath that is caused by gum disease. Along with bleeding and swollen gums, persistent bad breath (and/or a “bad taste in the mouth”) is an early sign of periodontal (gum) disease caused by accumulated plaque on tooth surfaces. When the bacteria in plaque remain on teeth and produce toxins that irritate gum tissue, the stage is set for potentially serious problems associated with advanced
gum disease (periodontitis). Bad breath may signal the need for a check-up. Once the signs of gum disease have become so noticeable that they can no longer be ignored, it’s still not too late to take control of your oral health. Calling us is the first step you’ll need to take to discover what you’ll need to do in order to turn your oral health in a positive direction. Our dental team is committed to making our patients smile and then keeping them smiling. We’d like to do that for you, too. P.S. Other dental causes of bad breath include poorly fitting dental appliances, yeast infections of the mouth, and dental caries (cavities).

California Matters
Legal mandate to house the homeless?
N
umerically, 151,000 people in a state of 40 million are scarcely onethird of 1 percent. However, 151,000 is the latest official estimate of California’s homeless population, not only the most of any state but a quarter of the Dan Walters nation’s homeless. And their makeshift camps on sidewalks and in parks and other public places throughout the state spark both compassion and revulsion in the larger population. A recent Public Policy Institute of California poll found that homelessness is one of Californians’ most vexing concerns, with more than 80 percent seeing it as a problem and little variation of concern either geographically or ideologically. As mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom tried, but failed, to stem the explosive growth of the city’s homeless street dwellers and while running for governor he promised to appoint a “czar” to fix it. While introducing his new state budget and boasting about its $1 billion commitment to homelessness, the governor was peppered with questions about his czar promise and he replied testily, “You want to know who’s the homeless czar? I’m the homeless czar in the state of California.” Thereupon, he embarked on a week-long tour to highlight homelessness efforts in local communities. And as he was doing his thing in Nevada County a commission he appointed to study homelessness delivered its preliminary report, recommending that local governments be required by a new provision in the state constitution to provide enough shelters to house everyone. “The state must establish in law that it is not morally or legally acceptable to deny housing for people on the streets and create the legal mandates and funding mechanisms necessary to dramatically improve this unacceptable condition,” the commission states in a letter to Newsom. “We propose that both state and local governments be held legally accountable to achieve the aims of dramatically reducing homelessness and creating avenues to rapid resolution,” it continues. “A legally enforceable, results-based, accountability mandate will require state and local governments to provide resources for, and reduce barriers to, the creation of both interim and permanent housing that is high quality, low barrier and complies with fair housing rules.” The housing mandate would, the commission said, be analogous to those for free public education and other public services. And to enforce it, the report proposed, it should have “a public right of action that requires state and local governments to create the capacity to bring unsheltered homeless people under a roof …” In other words, governments could be compelled to act by lawsuits filed on behalf of homeless people. Newsom, asked about the mandate recommendation, seemed to endorse it, at least in principle. “We do it in almost every other respect,” Newsom said. “On this issue, we don’t and I think that’s missing. The question is how do you do it. … This is not black and white. This is tough stuff.” n

Letters to the Editor Seen it all EDITOR: s I approach what I hope is three-fourths of the way through my life, pushing 80 to be a little more exact, I keep thinking I have seen it all. Each time I think that something happens that makes me realize there is apparently no end to the ability of some humans to come up with a new thing to teach me. This stunt by Ray Nutting rates is one of those new things. Having lived in the county for 45 years, I’ve observed Ray for some time. I used to think he was just a loud-mouthed buffoon but he has changed my opinion now. As we used to say in the South, “I don’t think the Good Lord tightened all his screws down.” While he thinks he made “a silly mistake” someone needs to help him understand the difference between “silly mistakes” and breaking the law. He’s already tried that excuse before and apparently didn’t learn a thing. Ray, please go pull your campaign signs down and don’t insult the good, intelligent people of this county any longer.

Why Wendy Thomas? EDITOR: ecause we don’t need to choose between cookie-cutter development and fear-based entrenchment. If you are tired of the fever-pitched narrative in this county of big development versus “rural” or “historic” annihilation so am I. It’s not reality. The reality is there are very viable avenues to preserve and grow the historic, rural, natural and agricultural aspects of our county while simultaneously nourishing our culture, community, businesses and economy without denying our residents housing and an opportunity to live, work and prosper. Wendy Thomas has lots of ideas ... just ask her. Because there are solutions to every challenge. Not only will she not bring a complaint without a solution, she’s not even going to waste energy on bemoaning — too much “get in there and get it done” attitude for that. Because she’s willing to be wrong. Are you? Being able to see when you’re wrong,
B
accept it and then seek to understand how you got there is hands-down one of the hardest things to do for anyone and it’s the most important skill you want in a leader. To then take that understanding and use it to get back in the ring and on the right course takes great humility and wisdom. Optimism — ‘nuff said. Because Kenny Rogers. “Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em.” Wendy is not blindly driven by ideology or beliefs. In my experience she checks her decisions or endeavors against one basic core value: Is this going to make things better? If so, she’ll hold ‘em. Moreover, she’ll fight for them. If not, she’ll fold ‘em before .. .well, you know the song. Because she’s full of energy, because she has a great and devoted love for our county and community, because she’s from here and gets us, because she makes good decisions, because she’s smart as heck and because she will do her absolute best as supervisor of District 3. LEXI BOEGER Placerville
Whose decline? EDITOR: cott Taylor writes of the decline of the GOP. Really? Let’s look at just where decline is, starting with California, which has been in Democrat control since the governorship of Goodwin Knight. Most of the state is blessed with a third-world public education system that prepares many for a minimum wage career path. This results in the everwidening wealth gap in this state. California leads in homelessness and with around 10 percent of the nation’s population has around a third of its welfare recipients. What used to be world-class cities like San Francisco now are more like Bangladesh with feces and used needles everywhere you go and the sidewalks filled with homeless. You could make the case that the decline in California mirrors the decline in California’s GOP. Now to more of Mr. Taylor’s points. He talks of separating families — the infrastructure for which was built under Obama. Take a look at your local county jail. Arrestees are never allowed to attend jail on the family plan. Every inmate in the county jail or prison is separated from his or her family.

The year ahead for local newspapers and PG&E
I
have to start with the Mountain Democrat. It’s looking so much better as 2019 came to a close. I predict it will get even better in 2020. It’s been a great relief since Krysten Kellum has taken over editing the paper. I enjoy finding actual news inside, not Michael just on the front page. There are new writers who are doing a good job. And Noel Stack is totally professional about the columnists. The veteran writer is Dawn Hodson, who sometimes writes all but one story on the front page. Everybody likes to be interviewed or covered by Dawn because she is fair, accurate and comprehensive. And Pat Lakey always gives a thorough account of Placerville City Hall. The best thing about the Mountain Democrat is you know you will get factual information without a slant. Even better, the delivery is a sure thing. I never miss a delivery. I buy the Sunday Bee. I used
to subscribe to the weekend Bee, which included a third day. They could never deliver the Sunday Bee on time. I would go out on Saturday and Sunday to run around the track at Bennet Park/El Dorado High School. I would leave at 5:30 a.m. and come back from jogging Raffety 2 miles and still no Bee, so I would turn around and buy one at Safeway only to find one in my Bee box at maybe noon and maybe not at all. The Bee is such an advertising prostitute, covering half the front page and half the local section with halfwrap-around ads. It’s just disgusting and it covers up some boring liberal story that goes on for three or four jump pages. Now the front page is printed in two sections as if there is some shortcoming with their printing press and they can’t afford to fix it. I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal but the delivery person is the same inconsistent delivery person as

the Bee so the Journal finally gave up and converted me to mail delivery. Furthermore, the Bee’s cartoons are boring except for Dilbert. They have no discrimination. When the Sacramento Union went out of business the Bee sucked up all the Union’s cartoons. That was just profligate. No one else would compete against the Bee in Sacramento. They could have used the opportunity to upgrade and slough off some cartoon duds. The Mountain Democrat circulation has stabilized. The Democrat has a carefully selected combination of single-panel and three-panel cartoons that are amusing and clever. It also has specialty publications that give it a positive financial outlook. I predict for 2020 the Sacramento Bee will continue to lose subscribers. The McClatchy Corp. froze its executive pensions ($124 million) and is turning them over to the federal government. Faced with $4.5 billion in debt from the acquisition of Knight Ridder newspapers in 2006, McClatchy has engaged the services of a bankruptcy
administration firm. The best thing for the McClatchy and its 30 newspapers is to shave off publication days, starting with Saturday. If you subscribe to the Bee you get one kind of Saturday paper. If you buy it in the store it looks like the Sunday paper without the Forum section. That’s different than the San Francisco Chronicle. When I lived in San Francisco you got to buy the Sunday Chronicle on Saturday and they didn’t skimp on anything. You got the same news, the Sporting Green, Herb Caen, Count Marco, the Question Man (actually a woman), Arthur Hoppe, Stephanie Salter — the whole shebang. The news didn’t change from Saturday to Sunday. They either gave most of the staff the day off or they spent it at a nearby bar called The Mint ... on Mint Street, naturally. Speaking of bankruptcy, what a horror story that is turning out to be for PG&E. The utility struck a deal with lawyers for insurance companies

Court upholds GDPUD water rates Georgetown Divide Public Utility District News release The Superior Court of El Dorado County denied the lawsuit filed by Steven Proe and Michele Turney on behalf of the Georgetown Divide Taxpayers Association against the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District. Issued Jan. 9, the court concluded that the district’s new water rates are supported by substantial evidence and the district complied with Proposition 218. In its ruling the court determined, “After independently reviewing the evidence, the court concludes
Walters
that the district’s new water rates are supported by substantial evidence, and the district met its burden of showing compliance with Prop. 218’s procedural and substantive requirements. The petition for writ of mandate is denied.“ The plaintiffs filed their suit against the district in May 2018, asserting several arguments in an attempt to invalidate the district’s water rates adopted in late 2017. The court rejected all arguments against the rate study, including the assertion that the Capital Replacement Program developed in part for setting rates was artificially inflated, exaggerated the number of components in the system and relied upon inaccurate and
flawed information. In rejecting this claim the court stated, “Accordingly, the court finds that the information relied on for the CRP and rate study is reasonably dependable and adequate…” This decision will allow the district to maintain the new rate structure and continue the work necessary to begin replacing and rehabilitating aging infrastructure that has not been addressed for many years. The complete statement of decision is located on the district website at gd-pud.org/studiesand-reports. For more information contact GDPUD General Manager Steven Palmer at (530) 3334356.

Having appointed himself as homelessness czar, Newsom now owns the problem, adding another to his portfolio of unresolved issues, such as the fate of bankrupt Pacific Gas & Electric. However, a “czar” implies unfettered power that Newsom doesn’t have. If he adopts the commission’s recommendation, he would have to persuade the Legislature to also endorse it with a two-thirds vote for a constitutional amendment and then voters to ratify it.
Letters
Local governments would resist having such a mandate thrust upon them unless Newsom, et al, would also provide a lot of money to finance it. Shifting local funds from police patrols, fire protection and other popular services would be a nonstarter.

He then talks of taking away health care, which I suppose refers to Obamacare ... an abysmal failure. At the time of the last election a third of counties were reduced to just one provider. It was in a death spiral, which is not surprising when you consider that it was passed without the people passing it even knowing or understanding what was in it. Remember Pelosi’s famous remark that you had to pass it to see what was in it. I hope you don’t sign contracts with that same lack of scrutiny, Mr. Taylor, or you may be in big trouble.
Raffety
Then he talks of environmental regulations being eroded. Let’s look at that. If these regulations are really important and not just political posturing, how come the state waives them for every big and important project it wants to do? If those regulations are so vital then those big state projects are the last thing that you would want to exempt from them. Hmm. Mr. Taylor then goes on to talk about morals. I find it comical that anyone of the party that in Virginia wanted to allow abortions at birth wants to bring up morals. Really?
He then goes on to criticize Trump as a friend of Putin. This is especially nonsensical when you realize that it was Obama caught on open mic sending a message to Putin that he could be more cooperative after the election and that while Obama sent the Ukraine blankets, Trump sent them Javelin antitank missiles that could repel a Russian armored advance. One has to wonder, Mr. Taylor, are you that uninformed or is it that you hope the reader is? GEORGE ALGER Placerville

representing fire victims and now Gov. Gavin Newsom is saying $13.5 billion is not good enough. He wants to change the board that was just changed and has hinted he wants California government members on the utility company’s board or the state might even take it over. California is partly responsible for the bankruptcy by its insistence through the Public Utilities Commission and the Legislature that PG&E buy increasingly higher percentages of solar and wind power. The PUC ignored capital improvements as a requirement for the utilities it regulates. That’s only going to get worse now that the Energy Commission is forcing all new home construction to include solar. PG&E has a huge backlog of deferred maintenance. We’ll all be facing blackouts again next fall and the fall after that until it gets some mini weather stations in El Dorado County so those at the switch know there is no wind here even if there is wind in Alameda, Marin and Napa counties. PG&E’s contractors have been clearing trees six days a week from power lines all along Green Valley Road. The company has a weather station at the local headquarters on Enterprise Drive. The Mountain
Democrat used to get its weather from PG&E for a hundred years until some officious woman took over management of that office in the late 2010s and told the office crew to quit recording the weather and told me not to call again. I called PG&E’s PR guy in Sacramento and he couldn’t budge her. PG&E weather stats used to be published on the front page of the Mountain Democrat when it was a weekly. Efficiency doesn’t look so wonderful now that PG&E needs lots of weather stations, whether they be automatic or manual. If the government takes it over, expect 20 years of blackouts. Don’t forget when Gov. Gray Davis and the Legislature reformed the way utilities bought power; Enron and some other clever brokers ran the cost of power up and left us with rolling blackouts and PG&E’s first bankruptcy. We’re still paying high rates as a result of that fiasco. Don’t believe that California’s government is here to help us. The state can’t even complete a financial computer system for a billion dollars. Think how it could screw up the electric grid and power stations. Expect more blackouts.

EID pushes for more representation on EDCWA
comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
Dawn Hodson Staff writer A review of the recently completed 2019 Water Resources Development and Management Plan by the El Dorado County Water Agency came with its share of controversy as it was presented to the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors at its Jan. 13 meeting. Presented in great detail by EDCWA General Manager Ken Payne and Dr. Yung-Hsin Sun, the Stantec consultant who worked with EDCWA to develop the plan, EID board Chairman George Osborne and Directors Lori Anzini and Alan Day all questioned if EID had a voice in creating the document. Board members discussed the possibility of advocating for legislation that would expand EDCWA’s board to seven members in order to include more EID representatives. EID is the largest water purveyor in the county. At present the EDCWA Board of Directors consists of three members of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors, one member from the South Tahoe Public Utility District and one member from either the Georgetown Divide Public Water Agency or EID for a four-year term of office. A year in the making, the updated plan is designed to align with the El Dorado County General Plan in ensuring continued economic development, environmental protection and quality of life. Five policies that outline how the plan will be implemented were previously adopted by the EDCWA Board of Directors last October.
n TUNDRA by Chad Carpenter
n RUBES by Leigh Rubin
Currently Anzini is filling the EID spot but her term is almost over and up for a vote was a resolution in support of someone from GDPUD to fill the spot for the 2020-24 term. That resolution passed 4-1 with Director Mike Raffety the only one voting no. That vote, combined with the presentation of the water management plan, appeared to bring the issue of representation to a head of what happened a year ago when the El Dorado Water and Power Authority was summarily dissolved. Formed in 2004 as the county’s negotiating arm during the relicensing of the Sacramento Metropolitan Utility District hydroelectric operation on the upper American River, EDWPA was originally composed of El Dorado County, EID, the El Dorado County Water Agency and Georgetown Divide Public Utility District. GDPUD withdrew after deciding it had no feasible access or immediate use for the water. The SMUD agreement allowed for the use of SMUD’s reservoirs for storage of up to 30,000 acre-feet of water through year 2025 and up to 40,000 acre-feet a year after that. The agreement was only for storage rights. It remained up to the county to secure the rights to that water either by agreement with the city of Sacramento or from the State Water Resources Control Board. At a meeting last year the EDWPA board discussed different governance options because the agreement that established EDWPA had n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are times to push yourself, give yourself tough-love talks and do the heavy lifting it takes to be an emotional powerlifter. Not today. You’ll go much further with gentle compassion and encouragement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today’s life path is like a 17th-century stagecoach route, and you’re being jostled accordingly. Try and relax into the bumpy rhythm knowing that this mode is what’s available now; it’s as good as any; and you’ll arrive soon enough. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It sounds like a platitude, a mediocre Pinterest infographic that gets shared in moments of halfhearted solidarity. But what if it also happens to be just plain true? You really do deserve more. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People don’t automatically deserve to get all of you. There are parts of your personality that you put on hold when you’re around people who don’t react well to them. This is self-protection and completely within your right. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The burning question: Whatever gave you the idea that your life should be anything other than how it is? The faster you can stamp “WRONG” on that, the more empowered, creative and capable of change you will be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Too bad what you really want to say is not appropriate and will not go over well. The good thing is you have self-control on your side, and
some equivalent to a diary that locks, so put it all there. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships are like any other endeavor. If you work them the same way too many times, the routines get dull. The good news is any change, however small, will inject freshness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pick yourself up from that midday shake-up and get right back to the plan. If you don’t have a plan, get back to the dreaming, thinking and believing, and then come up with a plan. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is said that suspicion haunts the guilty mind. But it also haunts the mind that’s really good at critical thinking and compelled to understand the truth of the situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s this friction going on between thinking and feeling. Seems simpler to give the reins over to one school or the other. Alas, it won’t work. The mind and heart must each hold a strap or this thing won’t gallop. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Plan A probably won’t work, but the alphabet has 25 more letters, give or take, depending on your preferred language. If there’s anything to get better at now, it’s switching to the next plan without much fuss. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have no intention of talking about things that other people don’t understand, and yet it will happen unless you keep checking in to be sure that the last thing computed.

also reflecting fear. Police at one point on the department’s Facebook page assured that there is no cause to think Roman’s death stems from a situation that could translate into danger for other youth in the area, or for anyone for that matter. In fact, by Thursday the department had issued information that Roman’s father, Jordan Piper, and his (ostensible) wife Lindsey recently moved from Michigan to California with eight children in tow, including Roman. Jordan said a job offer prompted the migration, according to police. Police state that Lindsey is not the deceased boy’s biological mother, who reportedly lives back East and was tracked down and interviewed by a TV station earlier this week. The biological mother reportedly told the broadcast reporter that she hadn’t had contact with Roman “for years.” The Mountain Democrat learned Thursday that the biological mom may be on her way to Placerville, set to arrive later that day or Friday. Placerville police say there are valid reasons for not revealing more about the case, including how the boy died, who found the body and under what circumstances. The public speculation has spread like wildfire, and after word got out that an autopsy was completed Jan. 14, the resulting clamor to know the results once again spread the flames. Police explained in the most recent update that the autopsy results won’t be available for quite some time. “We do not have the pathologist’s report and will not be providing any further information in reference to the autopsy,” states the release. “We do not anticipate that report for four to six weeks.” In addition to aid from the Sheriff ’s and DA’s offices, police mentioned their gratitude for Search and Rescue and for support from Sierra Law Enforcement Chaplaincy.

neighbors and mining partners, along with many other folks who came to the area following the Gold Rush. From Thomas Allen, who operated the saloon across the street where Marshall often “whet his whistle,” to Henry Waldeck of Spanish Flat, whose hotel and eatery was often visited by Marshall, the history of the area from southern Garden Valley and Spanish Flat south to the American River is represented in this cemetery. Margaret Kelley, a five-decade local teacher who grew up next door to Marshall and purchased much of his estate to include in a museum at the site of his blacksmith shop, is buried here. Many current Divide residents have family buried here as well. The
earliest recorded burial was in 1852. For those district residents who are interested in purchasing a burial plot, the Kelsey Pioneer Cemetery has over 200 plots still available. Because it is a special district, only residents and their close relatives may be interred here. A plot may be used for burial of up to four cremated remains.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A beloved South Lake Tahoe Olympic champion has announced her retirement from competitive skiing, ending one of the most decorated careers in the sport. Maddie Bowman, the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal in halfpipe skiing, said Monday that she will no longer be competing. “I have decided to step away from halfpipe skiing for a simple reason,” Bowman said in a statement released by U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “I have given everything I have to progress the sport and now I know the women after me will do an amazing job.” While she won’t be competing anymore, Bowman said in the release she will continue skiing, including a trip later this year to Chamonix, France, where she will “explore the backcountry and the big mountain side of things.” A south shore native, Bowman got her start on skis at age 2 and clinched her spot in Olympic history when she won the halfpipe gold medal in 2014 at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia where the event made its debut. Bowman, at 20 years old, set the high mark on the first run of the final, landing two 900s and two 720s. She outdid herself on the second run to claim the top two scores of the competition. “I can’t believe it just happened,” she said afterward. “I felt every emotion

Bowman stayed among the sport’s elite, winning her ninth X Games medal (and fifth gold) in 2018, as well as earning a repeat trip to the Olympic Winter Games that year. Her experience in PyeongChang wasn’t as ■

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley warms up for a game earlier this season against the Cleveland Browns. Dwelley was primarily the backup tight end this season and will be appearing with the 49ers Feb. 2 in Super Bowl LIV.
Oak Ridge alum Dwelley headed to Super Bowl LIV Thomas Frey Staff writer Ross Dwelley isn’t flashy, he just puts his head down and does his job. By run blocking and playing all four aspects of special teams, the Oak Ridge High School alumnus helped the San Francisco 49ers defeat the Green Bay Packers 37-20 to reach Super Bowl LIV that will take place Feb. 2 in Miami, Fla. Despite being the backup to All-Pro tight end George Kittle, he still found a way onto the field this season to play a key role after coming to San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in 2018.
Dwelley started the season playing primarily on special teams. As the backup tight end his job was primarily to block. But opportunities opened up in week five against the Cleveland Browns when Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk went down with an injury and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan inserted Dwelley into the lineup as starting fullback. Dwelley would start the next six games and in week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks, Dwelley played a career-high 76 offensive snaps and had three receptions. The next week against the Arizona Cardinals
Dwelley caught his first career touchdown and got into the end zone a second time later in the game. Dwelley’s production on offense dwindled when Juszczyk returned but he still found his way onto the field. On Sunday, with the 49ers holding a 10-0 second quarter lead with a trip to Super Bowl LIV on the line, Dwelley lined up on offense with the ball at the Packers 9-yard line. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo handed the ball off to running back Raheem Mostert, Dwelley made a block and Mostert got into the end zone to extend the lead to 17-0.

memorable, though, as she was unable to complete any of her three runs in the final. “I just decided to go for it, and I wasn’t going to hold back,” she told reporters. “And I’m happy with how I skied. I’m really proud of these ladies out here today. I didn’t want to put down a safety run, so I went
for it.” One year later Bowman finished sixth at the world championships in Utah and she followed that with one more world cup event in March. In addition to the Olympics and X Games Bowman has thrived on other skiing circuits and developed a reputation for her technical ability,
which led to her landing back-toback 900s and the switch 900 in competition. Bowman, who turned 26 earlier this month, initially planned to compete this season and was named to the 2019-20 U.S. Freeski Team in November. In addition to pursuing more

Merchants group he said. “And the fact that they won’t be asking for road closures isn’t going to keep anyone up at night.” Clerici was referring to PDA-sanctioned special events such as an annual craft faire, car shows and the like that have closed off Main Street, resulting in even more than usual Highway 50 traffic diverting to side streets, clogging neighborhoods on special-event weekends to the point where it’s not safe. Not only do residents try to stay home and avoid the mess, it is a dangerous situation should anyone need to get to the hospital, for example, with the nearly non-stop flow of vehicles jumping off the highway onto surface streets to try to find a detour around the downtown area, for hours at a time. The City Council, as a matter of fact, had expressed its intent to look at the issue of closing Main Street, to see whether such closures are occurring too often and unnecessarily. Now, pointed out Clerici, they won’t need to tackle that particular problem. As did others in the Tuesday night crowd at Town Hall, Clerici suggested the El Dorado County Fairgrounds might be a better venue

late middle school to early high school, in the process of figuring out how I want to identify and present myself to the world,” she said. “That pressure I experienced and that others experienced, especially as queer teenagers growing up, can be extremely damaging.” In the 1950s and ‘60s, the environmental movement was just getting started and climate change was decades away from becoming an everyday utterance in the political sphere, but on Monday there was little doubt King Jr. would have been at the forefront of the fight against global warming today. Melanie Arechiga, a Union Mine High School student, took to the podium to address the climate crisis facing today’s youth. “[Climate change] is not a political problem at all,” Arechiga said. “It’s a problem for all of humanity. It scares me to think that my generation and future generations could potentially be living in a world where trees no longer grow and the ocean is simply a dead wasteland.” In his first step into community activism, Oak Ridge student Amrit

Bajwa gave an eloquent speech on immigration in America and against what’s happening at the country’s borders. “This is no longer an issue of politics or economics,” he said. “This is a human tragedy. Each individual that comes into the states brings with them a great heritage and culture … they have a backstory and a legacy. But when someone is thrown back at our borders and their child is taken from them, their family is being brutally crushed.” After each of the four speeches from students yet to graduate from high school, the crowd clapped and cheered, surely proud of the next generation of El Dorado County leaders. Following the ceremony, most in attendance took a candlelight walk down Main Street to the Bell Tower and back in a show of solidarity with the lessons King Jr. championed more than a half-century ago. The event was sponsored by the New Freedom Choir, El Dorado Peace Community and El Dorado Progressives.

for car shows and such, with an apparent consensus growing for closing Main Street for only the Festival of Lights, the Hangtown Christmas Parade, the arrival of the Highway 50 Association Wagon Train and for the Halloween Parade. Telling the City Council that he, personally, would be willing to contribute money to an effort to keep the Festival of Lights an annual, highly anticipated event, Clerici urged the panel to do exactly what the PDA asked. “Don’t give them the money, because they don’t want it, apparently.” Not only is the PDA saying it no longer will be accepting city funds, but earlier in the meeting, the president of the merchants association that recently experienced “mass resignation” of its members targeted one member of the City Council, a businessman and PDA past-president, to castigate in public. Like a high school girl throwing her boyfriend’s class ring to his feet as they stood in the middle of the gym during a pep rally, Bryan Chase, who identified himself as current president of the PDA, said Councilman Dennis Thomas
“misused his position as a council member to intimidate, bully and threaten the PDA.” Chase is also co-owner of the Kollektive that set up shop on Main Street in
Taylor. “In 2019 the work of the PDA under Tim Taylor’s presidency was to bring the organization into compliance with the (non-profit corporations)
“... the only reasonable recourse for the PDA is to not accept funding from the city until reasonable assurances are made that members of the City Council will not, as individuals or collectively, meddle in the private affairs of the PDA.” — Bryan Chase, president of Placerville Downtown Association and co-owner of the Kollektive November 2018. “These activities have been more than disruptive and harmful to the PDA,” stated Chase, reading from a prepared statement that was made available to every council member. With the full council in attendance at the first meeting of the new year, and with a crowd filling Town Hall, Councilman Thomas sat quietly, his expression not reflecting whether he knew this tirade was coming. Continuing his citing of reasons the PDA was cutting ties with the city and blaming Thomas for the “disruption and manipulation of this nature,” Chase then revealed what many suspected: there is someone else — he had nothing but praise for PDA past president Tim
code and the bylaws of the organization. He also tried to create a sustainable model for the PDA to be most effective in its advocacy and promotion of the downtown, with its limited resources. “Under Tim’s presidency, no official actions or comments were made by the PDA without the board’s approval,” Chase continued.” Tim’s immediate predecessor, Dennis Thomas, however, sent a PDA employee into the political arena to advocate before the county Board of Supervisors on two occasions, in the PDA’s name. At neither time did Dennis Thomas inform the PDA board or seek ... approval to do so.”

actually expired in 2015. Those options included reformulating the existing joint powers authority, establishing a new joint powers authority, renewing the expiring agreement, allowing the county water agency to continue pursuing additional water rights on its own or abandoning that effort altogether. EID’s General Manager Jim Abercrombie said he was very surprised when he learned that the Board of Supervisors voted to withdraw from EDWPA Jan. 8, 2018 and the water agency voted to withdraw the following day even though the item was not on the agenda and had to be added. At that point EID was already heavily invested in the water rights application process, having contributed at least $2.5 million along with the county and EDCWA who had invested another $3.4 million. With the county and EDCWA dissolving EDWPA, EID was no longer equally represented and nothing was done to include EID in the decisionmaking process even though EID was expected to contribute to the continuing cost of pursuing the water rights application. “One of the reasons we liked EDWPA is that it included five members of our board and five members of the Board of Supervisors so we had some say-so,” Abercrombie noted at the time. “Now we have little to no control over the process. I understand wanting to cut out a layer of government but normally you have a transition plan in place. Instead it was withdraw and there’s been no attempt to set up a meeting to set up a new agreement.” Trying to head-off concerns about the decision to dissolve EDWPA, El Dorado County District 2 Supervisor Brian Veerkamp and Payne wrote an editorial in the Feb. 27, 2019 edition of the Mountain Democrat explaining the reasons EDWPA was eliminated. “The time we spent on EDWPA issues could just as easily be handled by the water agency,” Veerkamp said in an interview. “The water agency is making
Chase concludes his letter by saying the PDA is “more than happy” to continue to work with the city, but that if continuing to receiving city money “requires
progress and this just puts the water agency in the place they should be. “The county has the ultimate responsibility for public safety and water is part of that. We don’t have agreements with other purveyors. The county should have been more engaged and not turned those assets over to EID. The ultimate responsibility comes down to the county, the city of Placerville and the city of South Lake Tahoe.” Since then little has been done to resolve the issue of EID’s representation on the EDCWA board. During the presentation by Ken Payne and Dr. Yung-Hsin Sun on the updated Water Resources Development and Management Plan, the two of them repeatedly stressed the amount of collaboration and cooperation it took to produce the document. EID Director Pat Dwyer expressed concern about the level of collaboration shown and the apparent lack of representation by EID in preparing the document, adding that he didn’t see how it would work without EID participating. Dwyer also brought up the cost of some of the projects in the plan and asked how that cost would be spread around. Payne responded that the plan addresses some basic policy principles other than just water and that now was a good time to look at the question of representation. Abercrombie questioned using the terms collaboration and cooperation, “The words are a little cheap,” he said, noting that what happened last January was not very collaborative or cooperative. He encouraged Payne and the EDCWA board to focus on more productive collaboration and communication between EID and EDCWA. He further questioned how some of the projects in the plan would be paid for, how the water would get to different places and who does the water belong to. As an ancillary item the board decided it was time to get SMUD discussions back on track and asked that Payne be contacted about setting up an ah hoc committee to take on that task.
that the PDA tolerate” Thomas’ behavior “the only reasonable recourse for the PDA is to not accept funding from the city until reasonable assurances are made that members of the City Council will not, as individuals or collectively, meddle in the private affairs of the PDA.” Chase’s comments occurred at least an hour prior to the agenda item being discussed by the council, and when that matter came up, Councilman Thomas recused himself from the discussion. Former councilman Clerici said he is knowledgeable about the genesis of the city funding for the promotion of downtown, saying a benefactor donated an initial sum for the express purpose of “doing something nice around the holidays,” getting the ball rolling. Clerici added that, with the city kicking in thousands to the PDA for that purpose, the money appears to have been well spent over the years. “It wasn’t like they took the money ... to buy gargoyles and stick them on some building somewhere — they actually took the money and used it for what it was supposed to be used for.” Clerici was part of an effort this past season to make sure the city enjoyed its Festival of Lights in the wake of the retirement of Dave and Cindy Brazelton, whose Western Sign Co. for decades volunteered their crews and donated the cost of decorating the town Christmas tree. He said city staff went beyond the call of duty to pitch in, prompting Clerici to observe: “I discovered you can actually get things done on Main Street if you get the right people in place.” Mary Meader, owner of Placerville News Co. and member of the PDA “not since the beginning but darn near,” told
the council as a past officer of the downtown merchants association, “I don’t want to lose (the city money) but I don’t think we deserve it.” “We have fallen apart. We don’t even have (elected) officers. We have self-appointed officers. “We’re a very divided group — but I want to thank you for all your support over the years.” Meader said the PDA may ask for the money to be reinstated in the future, once problems with the PDA are worked out. Her son Jeff Meader, co-owner of the iconic Placerville News Co. that has been in his family since 1912, said in his estimation the PDA “has gone from being very great and grand,” representative of all the merchants, to being “just focused on a very few” currently. Jeff Meader, later asked by the council to expound on what he thinks caused the polarization, mentioned that members of the PDA including Taylor, Chase and PDA employee Heidi Mayerhofer became embroiled in issues including whether Sourdough & Co. should be allowed on Main Street and what potential uses should be approved for the “ketchup and mustard” historical buildings. “It divided the (PDA) board a bit,” said Jeff Meader. “There was so much fighting back and forth last year.” Those controversies, along with Tim Taylor deciding in order to be “IRS compliant” all PDA members had to submit “a positive affirmation of their membership,” according to Meader, led to more dissolution. That action resulted in a dwindling of PDA membership from over 100 to just over 20 at one point; the number of current members was not readily available. Council members said they had “heard about the mass resignations” by PDA members, with all expressing chagrin at the current state of affairs. The council ultimately voted 4-0 to authorize staff to delay the release of this year’s funds to the PDA and come back with ideas on how that money could be used. City Manager Cleve Morris said he intends to “sit down with the PDA and talk about projects that aren’t going to happen,” including the flower baskets, then report back to the City Council.

option Cancer sends shudders up the spines of the strongest of us. In the fight against cancer one thing is certain: You can’t go around it to beat it – you must go through it.

Cancer survivor Susan Kennedy
“You just get through it and become a survivor and fighter.” — Susan Kennedy
S
usan Kennedy, 65, was born in Los Angeles and studied at University of Southern California while becoming a dental hygienist. She met her husband Steve in 1983 in Manhattan Beach and after three years of marriage they decide to relocate north to Camino. She is the original owner of Lofty Lou’s Yarn Shop on Main Street in Placerville and still works there on occasion. Susan retired from dentistry after Elise (her first daughter) was born and two years later her family was “blessed” with another daughter, Blaire. “I decided to stay home and home school both of my daughters. Six years later our son Andrew was born,” she added. When Andrew was just 2 1/2 in January 1999, Kennedy heard the word everyone dreads — cancer. Her doctor diagnosed her with breast cancer for the first time. She said it was really
“concerning” dealing with cancer and three children younger than 11. “I underwent a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation,” she explained. “It took most of the year to go through.” In 2002 the cancer returned in the same breast. She had a mastectomy and went through seven months of chemotherapy. “You have to have faith and God gave me the strength and courage to do keep going,” Susan said. “Looking forward to reconstructive surgery helped me deal with the surgery.” “My surgery turned out wonderful and really was the silver lining of the whole ordeal. I have been cancer free since beating it in 2002,” she shared. Planning for the reconstructive surgery at the end of chemotherapy inspired Susan to joined Curves in Placerville, n

atherine Pearson, 57, was born in the Bay Area and later moved to Tennessee. A Placerville resident for four years, she moved back to California to be with family and her ailing father. Pearson was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2018. “It’s not something anyone wants to hear,” Pearson said. “I was hysterical for a period of time and angry. I was not very friendly to anyone.” Pearson shared that heart disease runs in her family and she was pretty “shocked” when she got her cancer diagnosis. “My grandmother passed away from cancer when I was 2 and that is the only member of my family who had it,” Pearson added. “My siblings and I were all of aware of the history of heart conditions in our family but I never thought I would have cancer.” Pearson said doctors “moved” on the cancer fast and she believes it’s a big reason why she has had success fighting the illness. “In October 2018 I had four lymph nodes removed and after being examined I discovered that a fifth one needed to have radiation,” she continued. “I also have had a double mastectomy with both breasts removed as a result of the cancer.” While Pearson is still dealing with the emotions of being diagnosed with cancer she said she has moved to a “much better place” as a result of exercise and getting active. Her last chemotherapy was on Valentine’s Day 2019 and she currently is cancer free. Exercising and getting active has been an aspect that Pearson credits for combating her cancer, but also her outlook on life. “I have completed 300 days of fitness routines and it’s really been a life saver,” Pearson shared. “It helped with the depression I was suffering from along with cancer.” Nobody can fight cancer alone, she added, noting how thankful she is for those who helped her get to this point. “My son Andrew lived with me when I was diagnosed and was very supportive. I can’t thank the people at Marshall and Sutter enough. Those people were like family and so generous,” said Pearson. “My sister Denise and mother Patricia, who live in Galt, sent me cards everyday. My brother Rick and his wife Pam came to the hospital when I was diagnosed. It all matters so much.” Pearson is now taking life one day at a time and trying to focus on the positive. She’s eating healthy and said fruits and vegetables are a major part of her diet these days. “I am just making every day the best I can for me,” she said. “Tomorrow is not promised to anyone in this world.”

Holocaust survivor Irving Roth, seen here speaking to a group in Fairfield last year, comes to Folsom Jan. 23.
Holocaust survivor speaks n Irving
Roth to share his first-hand, harrowing story as a Nazi death camp survivor
News release
F
OLSOM — As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, local residents have a rare opportunity to hear the firsthand account of Irving Roth, 90, who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Presented by the Chabad Jewish Community Center in Folsom, Roth will share his story of survival and grit on Jan. 23 at the Folsom Community Center. “Irving Roth is a true survivor,” said Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum of the Chabad Jewish Community Center. “Not only did he physically survive the terrors of World War II, but he lived on with his heart and hope intact. Roth’s presentation is sure to be moving, inspiring and educational for all who attend.” Roth was just 10 years old when Nazi Germany invaded his native country of Czechoslovakia. He suffered through the horrific conditions of Auschwitz and Buchenwald and miraculously
survived, emigrating to the United States in 1947. During the first time he returned to Auschwitz in 1998, Roth realized the importance of sharing his story with today’s generation. He has since devoted his efforts to educating young and old about the perils of anti-Semitism and prejudice. Roth is the director of the Holocaust Resource Center — Temple Judea of Manhasset and is an adjunct professor at the University of Maine. He is a recognized speaker on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust and is a frequent lecturer at colleges and universities across the United States, Canada and Europe. Roth received the Spirit of Anne Frank Outstanding Citizen Award from the Anne Frank Center USA for promoting human rights and social justice,and for conceiving, developing and initiating the Adopt-a-Survivor program. This program has been instituted nationally and internationally in public and parochial high schools and colleges. Together with his son, Edward, Roth authored “Bondi’s Brother: A Story of Love,
Loss, Betrayal and Liberation,” his memoirs of life before, during and after WWII and the Holocaust. The evening will be hosted by Cristina Mendonsa of News 93.1 KFBK and will include a question and answer session following the main presentation. “It is an honor for us to host Mr. Roth and we are so fortunate that he has agreed to come to Folsom to share his riveting story,” said Grossbaum. “I encourage everyone who can — young and old — to come hear this remarkable person tell his incredible story of courage, faith and survival.” The event begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Folsom Community Center, 52 Natoma St. in Folsom. Due to limited space, advance ticket purchase is highly recommended. Visit jewishfolsom.org/survivor. Tickets fees are $15 for regular seating, discounted tickets are available for students carrying a valid student ID. A VIP option is available for $180 per couple and includes a reception with Roth, an autographed book and premium seating. Roth will have signed copies of his book on sale.
Folsom Lake Symphony concert will sweep you away
“C
haracter cannot be developed in ease and quiet,” wrote Helen Keller. “Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.” Every person struggles in the quest to achieve their best. Whether that is through public or The Arts private recognition is up to the individual. There is no avoiding challenges. On Feb. 15 the Folsom Lake Symphony will perform an evening concert featuring recognizable works by four ambitious composers that swept them to public recognition and fame. Each man faced his own struggles for recognition on his journey. The resulting melodies at this “Swept Away” concert are sure to enchant and inspire.

‘Pavane’
Susan Laird
‘The Moldau’ Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) was born in Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. But when he was growing up it was heavily overshadowed by German culture and politics. By the 1870s Smetana wanted to focus his efforts on national music that celebrated his Bohemian heritage. Success came in a strange way, however. It came at a time of personal suffering. Smetana lost his hearing in 1874. He struggled to move forward with his life and work. Three weeks after losing the ability to hear he went outdoors … and found renewed hope.

Pianist Jon Nakamatsu will perform with the Folsom Lake Symphony Feb. 15. “Today I took an excursion to the St. John Rapids where I sailed in a boat through huge waves,” he wrote. “The view of the landscape was both beautiful and grand.” Smetana’s excursion on Bohemia’s Moldau River inspired a romantic, symphonic tone poem that embraced the patriotism and love of the Czech people. So much so, that the Nazis banned all
Composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) struggled to make progress at the famous Paris Conservatory. Several times he flunked out. The conservatory had a reputation for being stodgy and Ravel was a talented young man with new ideas. For five years he attempted to win musical prizes (required by the school in order to progress), to no avail. The press discovered, however, that the juries for those competitions were rigged. The ensuing “Ravel Scandal” resulted in reforms at the Paris Conservatory. One way for a student to get ahead was to compose music for major influencers of the day. The Princess de Polignac held a regular musical salon in her home. Born in America, the former Winnaretta Singer was an heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune. She was a significant patron of the arts in Paris. Her mansion in the Avenue Henri Martin contained a 1,500-squarefoot room mirrored à la Versailles in which 250 spectators could be seated for exclusive, invitationonly events. Numerous composers wrote music dedicated to her that was privately performed there. While there is no record that Ravel’s “Pavane pour une infante défunte” was performed there, the likelihood is high. Reception of this work at its public debut was so positive Ravel further orchestrated it in 1910. His success in the public eye was secure.
‘An American in Paris’ American George Gershwin (1898-1937) was already a success in the worlds of Tin Pan Alley and American jazz. But he longed to prove to the world n

GROW FOR IT! Your superproductive, secret greenhouse
D
o you want an early start on next year’s garden? What is the secret? Set up Mary Tran a greenhouse inside your UCCE Master Gardener of house. The key to success with El Dorado County an indoor greenhouse is to set plant heating mats under the seedling trays and to hang grow lights about 1 foot above the trays. Pick a place for your greenhouse that can tolerate the occasional spill, like a bathroom, since you will be watering. I have mine set up in the basement. Also, you need access to electricity. It’s convenient to plug the heating mats into a power strip. Add a garden timer to the power strip for your lighting. Plug all the lights into the timer. This allows you to provide light on a more or less natural schedule. If space is at a premium, you can set up a small vertical framework with a small purchased greenhouse kit or wire storage shelves. Shelves should each measure 1.5 feet deep and 2 feet wide. You should add hooks to suspend a grow light about 1 foot above each shelf. Alternatively, you can build your own frame box using PVC pipe lengths plus the push-on elbow connectors available at the hardware store. Seed starting kits are available at garden centers. They should include a flat tray large enough to seat planting cups and often a transparent cover to retain moisture around new seedlings. You can create your own seedling trays using open “clamshells” (the plastic boxes used for selling croissants and muffins). How about the clear tops of bakery cake containers? Leftover pony packs (the 6- or 8-cup containers you bought your marigolds in last summer) can be used for seedling cups. Mango clamshells are nice because they are large and have holes in the bottom of each cup. I convert smallish plastic water bottles into planting cups by making holes in the bottoms and cutting off the tops at the “shoulder.” The top can be pushed back into the cup to retain moisture. When ready for planting, fill each cup about three-quarters deep with potting soil. Check the seed package for outdoor transplanting dates

relative to the last frost so that you can estimate when you can successfully move your seedlings to garden beds. Seed packages also will differentiate between plant seeds that are best sown outdoors and plants that can be successful started indoors. Don’t start your seeds too early. Place two to four seeds of one kind in each cup. Sprinkle a tiny amount of extra soil on each and mist to settle soil and seeds. How many plants? Let’s say, for instance, that you want a vegetable garden with six zucchini plants, five cherry tomatoes and four large tomatoes, two watermelons, four cucumbers, three butternut squash, one pumpkin, three (either bell or spicy) peppers, three eggplants and five culinary herbs. You will want a total of 36 successful individual seedlings. With a possible loss rate of 50 percent, you need to start 72 seedlings. This plan requires at least 72 planting cups and enough trays to seat them all. Check your seedlings daily. Use a sprayer, watering can or bottle to keep the soil moist. Excess smiling at newly wakened seedlings can make them shy, so be careful. Seedlings are ready to be transplanted to garden beds when they have four or more adult leaves. Saturday, Jan. 25, join Master Gardeners for a free class: Spring and Summer Vegetables with Master Gardener Zack Dowell. It’s time to prepare the garden for warm season vegetables. Dowell will discuss garden plant selection, planting times, site selection, soil preparation, proper seed planting techniques and pest management. Don’t miss this popular class, 9 a.m. to noon in the Bethel-Delfino Agriculture Building on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, 311 Fair Lane, Placerville. Space is limited to 40 participants.

Olympia Theatre in 1965. It is based on a true story from 1959 about a dispute between Moss Moore, a bachelor farmer living in Reamore, County Kerry, and his neighbor Dan Foley. “The Field” was adapted and directed as a film by Jim Sheridan in 1990, starring Richard Harris, John Hurt and Sean Bean.

“The Field” is set in the small country village of Carraigthomond in the southwest of Ireland in 1965. “If a poor man does something wrong he gets a guard’s baton on the poll and he’s lugged up the barracks. But, if ’tis a doctor or the schoolmaster or the lawman, they say, ’tis tough on them but there’s a way out and the law is law no more.” Bull McCabe and his son Tadhg have held the grazing rights to a field and have spent the past five years guarding and nurturing the land. When the field comes up for auction the McCabes believe that it should rightfully come to them. Feeling that the system is rigged against them so that they can never get ahead, they decide to take matters into their own hands and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that there are no competing bidders Courtesy photo when the day of the auction arrives.

John Brendan Keane (1928-2002) was an Irish playwright, novelist and essayist. He is best known for his plays “Sharon’s Grave” (1960) and “The Field” (1965). He was educated at Listowel National School in County Kerry and St. Michael’s College, Listowel. As a young man he worked as a chemist’s assistant, a street cleaner and a barman. He moved to England in 1951, returning to his native Listowel in 1955 where he married and became a publican. Many of his characters were inspired by the customers in his pub, which is still in operation.

2020 is New Morning Youth & Family Services 50th year anniversary. Throughout the year there will be 50 years’ worth of stories about the New Morning Shelter. Readers will see stories from staff and board of directors as well as stories about the children who the agency has served through the eyes of the staff and some stories directly from the clients.
Story 3: Mending bonds When Sarah was 5, her parents got divorced. Now Sarah is in middle school and feels caught in between the constant battle between her mom and dad. Her stress can be traced to how she behaves at school — defying authority, poor grades and disrupting class. Sarah feels alone and anxious and only wishes her parents could figure out how to get along. Sarah’s dad works two jobs to makes ends meet and is rarely available. Her mother struggles with anger issues and the severity of the outbursts scare the kids and make it hard for effective communication to be upheld. The abuse had started to carry over to physical abuse. The family came to New Morning, seeking counseling, hoping to fix the broken parental relationship and establish a safe and encouraging environment where the family can communicate and work together to solve issues. It was a long process that started out with blame, anger and defensiveness from both parents. However, they both agreed on wanting to be the best parents they can for Sarah and wanted to meet the goal of being able to recognize issues and express themselves in a way that encourages communication and growth. New Morning counseling helped her mother build the skills needed for coping with her anger and being able to talk about things in a positive and constructive manner without being physical. During some of their sessions they were able to talk about past grievances, in which Sarah’s mother apologized and explained what she could have done better in those situations. This helped mend some of the resentment that lingered and brought both mother and daughter closer through understanding and compromise. New Morning provides a safety net of services to youth and their families in El Dorado County, including the only 24-hour emergency youth shelter in the county for homeless, runaway and in-crisis youth. The nonprofit provides professional counseling services to children age birth to 18 and supports children and youth who are victims of abuse, struggling with alcohol and drug issues, experiencing trauma and facing school failure. Other services include parent education, assist youth aging out of foster care and Latino outreach.

step in its performance career. The new single, “Fastest Gun in Town,” made its live debut during round six of the rodeo. Keeping to his cowboy roots, Williams was eager to release the single and its official music video during the “Superbowl of Rodeo.” Fans can watch the new video, an authentic piece showcasing the true rodeo lifestyle online at youtube.com. The band’s third single, “Tonight We’re Drinkin’,” debuted at No. 6 on iTunes New Country Chart and made its live debut at the sold-out 98th annual Greeley Stampede, prior to Cody Johnson’s performance.

that jazz was a valid musical art form. At the time it was considered “lowbrow” music of the “common people.” His 1928 work, “An American in Paris,” caused an uproar. Snobby critics scoffed that the music “was very fine for 1928, but what will happen when ‘whoopie’ goes out of style in a few years?” Others took note of the melodies and energy in the music. Audiences embraced it. Gershwin was hailed by the public as a new classical music genius. This work has never left the repertoire. Nearly a century later it is still going strong.
captures the way I feel about the American West and the high character of the people here,” said Williams. Williams renews the traditional roots of country for young fans and old spirits who covet authenticity in this honest ode to the Old West. He was recently featured in a campaign for Visit The USA, where he discusses more on Wyoming and how his cowboy lifestyle helps shape his music and unique sound.

‘Piano Concerto No. 1’ Pianist Jon Nakamatsu returns to perform the highlight of the evening: “Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat, Op. 23” by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). Tchaikovsky was tremendously insecure and prone to periods of mania and severe depression. Seeking approval for his first concerto, his feelings were dashed by the person to which he originally intended to dedicate the work. Pianist (and friend!) Nicholas Rubenstein told him the work was “clumsy and unplayable” when it wasn’t “vulgar and chaotic.” Crushed (yet refusing to make recommended changes), Tchaikovsky dedicated his first piano concerto to friend and conductor Hans von Bülow instead. The first public performance in 1875 was received with much fanfare and subsequent performances in America received equal applause. Even Rubenstein was forced to concede that the “Piano Concerto No. 1” was a success. The music world recognized that Tchaikovsky was peerless for his melodies, rhythms and use of tension and release that bordered on the erotic. The concerto swept Tchaikovsky up into one of his most successful periods as a composer. During the next year he would compose “Swan Lake,” the “Third Symphony,” the “Rococo Variations” and “Francesca da Rimini.”

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 130937-5. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet 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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-869810-BF. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy.
