Deanne Fittro, holding son Graceson, gets a kiss from Danny Palmer as the couple recounts their experience living on the streets among El Dorado County’s homeless. Deanne and Danny sobered up to leave that life behind and are now living in an apartment in Cameron Park.
Homeless couple chooses
family over fear Pair tells Placerville officials of help and support from The Lighted Candle
Pat Lakey Staff writer
Danny got a job and they moved into a Cameron Park apartment. And that’s a great thing, because Deanne was afraid she was going to give birth to her son while living on a hillside above Broadway in Placerville. She and Danny, who occasionally had run into one another during their nomadic lifestyle, reconnected on Facebook and found the chemistry had grown stronger over the years. And what grew truly powerful was their will to change, to get off the drugs and alcohol and get off the tent-studded hill above Broadway. “I got my daughter back,” said Terri Fittro, visiting her daughter and sonin-law in the same complex where Terri had slammed the door half-a-dozen years ago. And Grandma also got a miracle named Graceson, a grandson born four

eanne Fittro met Danny Palmer at Magoon’s Saloon in Pollock Pines 14 years ago, both drinking and drugging and both destined to be homeless as each wore the mantle of “black sheep” in their families. Terri Fittro kicked her then 31-yearold daughter out the door of her Cameron Park apartment six years ago. Palmer’s folks booted him from their Pollock Pines house, telling the then-25year-old to hit the streets; he’s 40 today. That’s a long time to live homeless for both Deanne and Danny — but today they feel like their lives have begun anew, thanks to help from The Lighted Candle, a volunteer group that helped them get back on their feet. The Palmers married in August,
weeks early last October, but who now is a chubby, cheery little soul who loves to smile. Graceson (pronounced Grayson) was so named because, Deanne said, her child is proof of God’s grace, giving her another chance to live the life she craves. She became clean and sober during her pregnancy and despite the fact that she has an older son, Michael, who will be 11 in March, she has no doubt that her new baby is a gift that lit up the path she needed to take with Danny. “We’re going to court soon, to try to get custody of Michael,” smiled Deanne, handing off her newest boy to her mom. Danny, who is the nephew of late golfing great Arnold Palmer, now works for First Impressions Design and Landscape — a job he landed with the help of one of the volunteers from The n

Garden Valley fire punts — firefighters to be laid off n Board of Directors takes
no action in budget shortfall Dawn Hodson Staff writer After months of exploring different options in the wake of a failed assessment to fund fire services, the Garden Valley Fire Protection District Board of Directors held a special meeting Feb. 5 and decided against all of them. That decision means three Garden Valley Fire Protection District engineer/ paramedics will be laid off and the district will have to tighten its belt and rely more on volunteers for the foreseeable future. Currently Garden Valley has six full-time engineer/paramedics, one part-time fire chief and one part-time administrative secretary. Facilities include one main fire station in Garden Valley and two volunteer stations, one in Kelsey and the other in Greenwood.

Three Years Straight!
Down the road from the main station is a Cal Fire facility. The district’s financial problems come on the heel of the failure of last year’s ballot measure that would have put an additional fire suppression assessment of $182.58 on improved property and $71.38 on unimproved property with an annual increase of 2 percent. That meant the district’s current budget of between $1.4 million and $1.5 million, which includes revenue from property taxes, strike teams and incident management teams, would be reduced in the coming fiscal year to around $740,000, not including any strike team or incident management team revenue, which can vary from year to year depending on need.

In 1973, he established MadroĂąa Vineyards, one of the first vineyards and wineries in El Dorado County. Dick was an idea man, a loving and caring husband, father and grandfather. A longtime member of Federated Church, he was a constant fighter for agriculture and our care of creation, and a supporter of the arts, who believed in and engaged himself in the community throughout his life. He loved backpacking, traveling, and new experiences, including a two-year adventure in Zaire, Africa with his family, where he taught mathematics at The American School of Kinshasa. He was greatly loved by family and friends. His wife, Leslie Bush; brother Donald Bush; four children and spouses; David Bush (Sheila), Diane Bush (Michael Kushner), Carolyn Bush, Paul Bush (Maggie); grandchildren; Patrick Bush (Suzann), Daniel Bush (Tiffany Newton), Kelly Bush, Asa Scholz, Zoe Scholz, Hannaford Bush and Tessa Bush.

One dead, 2 suffer major injuries in crash Thursday Pat Lakey Staff writer A fatal collision Thursday evening near Fresh Pond east of Pollock Pines left one person dead and two with major injuries as California Highway Patrol officers try to determine why a vehicle driven by the driver who died left the eastbound lane of Highway 50 and traveled directly into the path of a westbound car.

The Toyota was driven by Silun Xie, 56, with 55-year-old passenger
Xuman Yang, both from Riverbank, who each sustained major injuries, according to the Placerville office of the CHP. Xie was taken by ambulance to UC Davis Medical Center, Yang was life-flighted to Sutter Roseville. No word on their condition was available at press time Monday morning. Macke was driving at an estimated 65 mph when she left the eastbound lane as she negotiated a “slight curve,� according to the CHP. She died at Marshall Hospital in Placerville, the CHP reported.

County prevails in Newtown Bridge suit n Area residents claim project would hinder evacuation in event of a wildfire
A3
Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
IF CAVEMEN DIDN’T BRUSH, WHY DO WE?
Dylan Svoboda Staff writer The El Dorado County Superior Court has ruled in favor of El Dorado County in a lawsuit that challenged the Newtown Road bridge replacement project. The Newtown Preservation Society filed suit in fall of last year against the county claiming the project required a full environmental impact report, violated the California Environmental Quality Act and that the county should have considered a “no project” alternative. Pleased with the ruling, county officials are ready to move forward with what they describe as an “important public safety project,” according to a press release from county spokeswoman Carla Hass. “After more than a year of legal wrangling that risked delaying the project, we’re happy to get on with the business of the county to replace the 90-year-old Newtown Road bridge to make it safer for the residents in the area and the general traveling public,” wrote Department of Transportation Deputy Director John Kahling in a press release. Led by founder Wanda Nagel, members of the Newtown Preservation Society aren’t pleased with the court’s ruling. Some area residents are concerned over whether construction would allow proper evacuation in the event of a wildfire, thus prompting the lawsuit. “If we get a west wind in this canyon, and that

Work to replace the South Fork Weber Creek Bridge on Newtown Road could begin as soon as April 2021 or April 2022. road is closed, nobody is going to get out of here,” Nagel said. “The county doesn’t seem to be as concerned with safety as they do getting a project done that I feel is nonessential. I challenge any independent fire
risks to the surrounding residents and, in the long term, will provide a safer evacuation route, since the existing bridge is likely to fail similar to the manner in which the large culvert failed at Fort Jim in 2017,”
“If we get a west wind in this canyon, and that road is closed, nobody is going to get out of here.” — Wanda Nagel, founder of Newtown Preservation Society personnel to come in here and say that closing off this road is safe.” While the bridge wouldn’t be passable for a “limited time” during construction, the county claims area residents will be safer from wildfire risks in the long run. “While risks of wildfire understandably remain a significant concern of residents in our county in light of recent catastrophes, our department ensured that this project will mitigate any temporary
Kahling said. But concerns for the approximately 70-member Newtown Preservation Society didn’t stop at wildfire risk. The potential loss of a nearby Native American cultural site and prospective icy conditions on the future bridge added to the distress felt by nearby residents. Nagel said the Newtown Preservation Society is currently “making progress on what their next legal step
is.” The new bridge would replace the existing one over the South Fork Weber Creek, about 2 miles south of Camino. A November 2017 environmental study from Caltrans found the bridge to be “functionally obsolete because the size of the bridge is not considered adequate for the amount of traffic” using it. The new bridge would have two, 12-footwide lanes and a 4-footwide shoulder on each side. The project was originally approved and funded in 2010. In January 2019 Kahling told the Mountain Democrat that the project would take “several months,” with road closures persisting for between 12 and 18 months in an “outright disaster.” The project is slated to begin either April 2021 or April 2022, depending on further litigation or additional issues, according to Hass.
If the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians were the first to brush their teeth, how did preceding generations manage to go without doing so? Well, to begin with, our oldest ancestors didn’t consume processed foods. Instead, they ate natural, nutrientrich, fibrous foods that helped keep their teeth clean, strong, and resistant to cavities and oral infections. By contrast, not only do many of us eat processed, sugary foods and drink highly acidic beverages, but some people also smoke, which has been linked to oral cancer. Modern men and women also tend to live about three times longer (or more) than our early counterparts. With all this in mind, we must do all we can to preserve our teeth.

California Matters
‘California for All’ vs. daunting reality
G
ov. Gavin Newsom’s website is topped by his official slogan, “California for All.” “The California Dream — the idea that every person can achieve a better life, regardless of where they start out — is central to who we Dan Walters are as Californians,” it declares. “Even in a time of economic growth and record employment, too many Californians are experiencing the squeeze of stagnant wages and the rising price of building-block necessities such as housing, health care, education and child care. We can and must reanimate the California Dream, building a California for All.” In polling, most Californians endorse that noble vision, but the reality is daunting. Last week Newsom referred to California as “the richest and poorest state,” and the gap is widening. We have, for instance, the nation’s highest rate of poverty, as defined by a Census Bureau formula that includes the cost of living, with 18.1 percent or more than 7 million Californians impoverished. That doubles to 14 million, the Public Policy Institute of California says, if Californians in “nearpoverty” are added — a number virtually identical to enrollment in Medi-Cal, our program of medical care for the poor. At the extreme edge of the underclass there are, according to the most recent official counts, 151,278 homeless Californians, a nearly 17 percent growth in one year. But the official count is probably far short of reality, which may be two or three times as high. By sheer coincidence, incidentally, our official homeless number is almost identical to the number of California households in the top 1 percent of income. The 1-percenters, who pay nearly half of the state’s income taxes, average $1.7 million in annual income. A new PPIC report frames the yawning income gap. “While California’s economy outperforms the nation’s,” it states, “its level of income inequality exceeds that of all but five states. Families at the top of the income distribution in California have 12.3 times the income of families at the bottom ($262,000 versus $21,000, for the 90th and 10th percentiles, respectively, in 2018), measured before taxes and safety net programs.” The gap, if anything, is widening. “Since 1980, incomes for families in the 90th percentile have increased by 60 percent, while incomes at the 50th percentile (median) and 10th percentile have grown much less (24 percent and 20 percent higher in 2018 than 1980),” PPIC states. The trends reflect fundamental changes in our n

Letters to the Editor Vote for John Hidahl EDITOR: ohn Hidahl has always been involved in community well-being. We served together in the ’90s with Norm Rowett on the El Dorado Hills Community Council under then District 1 Supervisor Sam Bradley. John felt that since the Board of Supervisors was the governing body of our community we should be informed on “what’s going on” that would concern us. He has always been at the forefront of our community spirit. We need to keep John Hidahl’s expertise working for us. Vote for John Hidahl for District 1 supervisor. BETTY JANUARY El Dorado Hills
J
Thank you for the informative forum EDITOR: hank you to the League of Women Voters of El Dorado County for hosting the Board of Supervisors District 1 candidate forum. It was an informative, well-organized and civil 90-minute opportunity to hear from all four candidates. It’s unfortunate fewer than 60 people took the time to hear directly from those running for office, especially considering the recent public outcry over the golf course rezone topic. I do not doubt Mr. Ben Paulsen’s sincerity in wanting to serve the community, but felt that he needed to display a better foundation of current and past issues of District 1. Mr. Ron Briggs certainly has experience, having served as a two-term supervisor in a different district; however, anyone who has accepted contributions from Parker Development in the past is someone we in District 1 cannot afford. Mr. Wayne Haug has been a longtime (one of the longest) resident of El Dorado Hills and should be commended for his tremendous contribution to our community over the years. His responses to questions, however, seemed to be so complimentary to the work and responses of John Hidahl it had me questioning why Mr. Haug would choose to run against Hidahl? Our district came together last time to elect a man of integrity who has volunteered on countless committees, councils and task forces over the past four decades to improve El Dorado Hills and help make it the incredible place it is today.

Vote no on tax increases and bonds EDITOR: ere we are again being asked by our county and state to pay more in taxes and higher tax rates. We were all just hit with the tripling or quadrupling of our home insurance premiums, the increasing gasoline taxes, etc. Homeowners in the Placerville area are paying for six existing bond debts — two for the Placerville Union School District (2002 for $5.3 million and 2015 for $3.2 million), two for the El Dorado Union High School District (1997 for $17 million and 2008 for $66.3 million) and two for the Los Rios Community College (2002 for $265 million, and 2008 for $475 million). They’re asking us to pay more on our property tax bills through two new bond measures (A and E) on the upcoming ballot. Measure A is the third bond for the EDUHSD (for $120 million) and Measure E is the third bond for LRCC (for a whopping $650 million). Per the flier we received in the mail, Measure E will add only 2 cents for every $100 in assessed value. Well, doing the math, that’s another $97 per year on our bill ... for 30 years. Measure A, they say, will add only another $58 to our property tax bill, but in reality it will add another $77 to our tax bill using our current assessed value. That instantly raises our property taxes, just for bonds, from $344 to $518. And, because it’s based on your assessed value it will increase each year and, oh yeah, they stay there for 30 years. If you add all the bonds together for each school district, we’ve given the Placerville district $8.5 million, the high school district $83.5 million and Los Rios $331.3 million ... and they want $770 million more? On top of the additional bonds, they want to increase the maximum amount of bonds

my life fretting about the past. As a result I have frittered through my life ignoring my lack of money. Even as a single parent, I always had a place to live — even if it was someone else’s house. I always had a car to get me where I needed to go — even if the tires were bald — and enough peanut butter in the cupboard. By some standards I was rich. The irony is that I am exponentially better off financially than I was in those days and yet suddenly my money is keeping me up at night. It’s raining in my bedroom. How will we afford a new roof? Are we saving enough for college? Will we ever be able to take another family vacation? Will we ever be able to retire ... really? What if one of us is injured, or worse, killed? The good news is that this is possibly the longest I’ve ever gone without being depressed. The bad news is that I seem to have exchanged my depression about the past for anxiety about the future.
My son is currently learning about positive and negative integers in school; you know, the number line that goes from negative infinity to positive infinity with a zero smackdab in the middle. I feel like I’m living on that line, balancing on the tiniest zero ever, except instead of numbers, each side is my mental health stretching into infinity and there’s nothing positive about it. Staying upright is exhausting. Maybe I worry about the future these days because there’s less of it, but because there’s less of it I don’t want to spend my time worrying about it. So when I feel that tightness in my chest and I hear that rude inner voice that tells me everything is falling apart I try to remember what is true. I close my eyes and remember that I’m safe. I’m warm. My belly is full. My family is healthy. Everything else will sort itself out — it always has. Patricia Caspers is an awardwinning writer who leads writing workshops.

Ponderosa Bruin senior shooting guard Aiden Falls drives hard to the basket in the team’s 59-42 victory over Nevada Union High School Friday. Falls led the Bruins in scoring with 24 points. Ponderosa took control of the game early outscoring the Miners 31-15 at half. The Miners bounced back in the third quarter outscoring the Bruins 21-13 to cut the deficit to only eight points entering the fourth quarter. In the final period the Bruins used lockdown defense, holding Nevada Union to only six points in securing the win in

they are allowed to issue (currently capped at 1.25 percent of district property value to 2 percent or 4 percent), which could significantly increase future bond amounts and thereby increase the property taxes more. The state wants us to approve an increase in our sales tax of 1 percent (they always say a penny, which is a lie), which will raise ours from 7.25 percent to 8.25 percent. How long before El Dorado County supervisors raise our rate on top of that? They’ve already discussed it. The biggest lie on the ballot is the state is hiding the fact it wants to whittle away our Proposition 13 property tax protections by placing a misleading measure that will repeal the property tax limitations on businesses. It states “Requires Certain Commercial and Industrial Real Property to be Taxed Based on Fair-Market Value. Dedicates

Just because your property increases in value does not mean your sales and profits rise. Beware and vote no on all tax increases and bonds. We pay enough in taxes — more than enough.

state’s nearly 6 million K-12 students, with poor and English-learner students — Latino and black children, particularly — perpetually falling behind more affluent white and Asian kids. In the main Newsom and other political leaders, Democrats all, have addressed these gaps by throwing taxpayers’ money at them but those efforts are puny stopgaps at best. In the longer run, making California more attractive to job-creating investment, improving educational outcomes and lowering barriers to housing construction are the only approaches that might truly close the gaps.

Senior shooting guard Aiden Falls led all scorers pouring in 24 points with 12 coming on 4-of-11 shooting from three-point land. Senior small forward Parker Wright added 18 points while also connecting deep on 5-of-12 from beyond the arc. “We are a guard-heavy team. Aiden and Parker have the green light to shoot,” explained firstyear varsity Bruin head coach Clark Woods. “They make us go.” Sophomore center Aaron Bliss controlled the paint for the Bruins with 11 boards (3 blocks) and junior point guard Cole Ford dished out five assists. “We call Aaron ‘Stretch’ and he has matured so much over the season and taken his game more seriously,” added Woods.

The Oakmont Vikings and Lincoln Fighting Zebras also sit at 5-3 in league play with all three teams having two more league games in the regular season. The victory gives the Bruins – currently 10th in Sac-Joaquin Division II rankings – a great shot at the playoffs (the top 15 teams qualify under the Sac-Joaquin playoff system). “Our goals included repeating as league champions and getting to play at Golden 1 Center this year,” Woods said. “We are one step closer.” Up next for the Bruins is another league matchup tonight at Placer High School at 7 p.m. They finish the regular season at home on senior night — in what could be a game with huge playoff implications – against Oakmont Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.

taking his position, he would resign to save one of the engineer/paramedic’s positions slated to be laid off. The special meeting called by the board last week was to give directors the opportunity to vote on different options to deal with the budget shortfall. Those options were previously reviewed in detail at the board’s regular meeting Jan. 28. In preparation for the special meeting both Savacool and Frank Edwards, the new president of the board, noted that they met with the staff and asked them to rank the different options. The staff ’s first choice was to do nothing, which meant laying off three engineer/paramedics. Their second choice was annexation by El Dorado County Service Area Seven, the entity responsible for running the county’s ambulance program. A third choice was a shared service arrangement with the El Dorado County Fire District or full annexation, although Edwards said opinions differed on that option. When it came to a vote by the board, none of the options was appealing. One proposal was to request Cal Fire to submit a Schedule A contract for services similar to how fire services are provided in Cameron Park. Under that arrangement Cal Fire would run the district and report to the Garden Valley board of directors. At the meeting to discuss that idea and answer questions was Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit Chief Scott Lindgren. Emphasizing his agency’s commitment to make sure such an arrangement was successful, he urged the board to explore all its options. When it came to a vote only Directors Frank Clark and Frank Edwards supported the idea. Directors Dave Souza, Ed Hawkins and Mark Spaugh voted no with one director advising against having anything to do with Cal Fire because they don’t
always live up to the terms of their contracts with small districts. A different option met a similar fate under which the district would be annexed by El Dorado County Service Area Seven. Cal Fire would operate the district under a Schedule A contract and report directly to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors. Savacool expressed doubt the Board of Supervisors would be interested in such an arrangement. It was also estimated to take eight to nine months to process such an annexation through LAFCO. The district was also warned against the proposal by Paul Gilchrest, a board member of the El Dorado County Fire District, who said that the agency should be careful in turning over its authority to the Board of Supervisors. The proposal died when none of the directors offered a motion for the board to vote on. Savacool said neither he nor staff favored the third resolution that proposed a shared service agreement with the El Dorado County Fire District. Garden Valley previously attempted to detach Lotus, Cool, Coloma and Pilot Hill from El Dorado County fire to form a new fire district to be called the American River Fire Protection District. While Hawkins said he thought the idea of shared services would eventually lead to annexation by El Dorado County fire, which he said he saw as a positive, he thought that was something that neither the staff nor the community would support. Up for a vote, the proposal was defeated with Director Souza the lone yes vote and Directors Hawkins, Edwards, Spaugh and Clark voting no. That left the one proposal not up for a vote — the one selected by default — to live within the budget constraints of the upcoming fiscal year and proceed with layoffs.

Homeless couple
Continued from A1
Lighted Candle. Both Deanne and Danny are so grateful for the help they’ve received from TLC and others that they recently attended a Placerville City Council meeting to proclaim their thanks during the open-forum public comment. Each spoke of what TLC had done for them, providing clean clothing to look presentable on job interviews and giving information about resources to help them get off the streets, to live a better, healthier life. Their comments were made following TLC organizer Pete Brown appealing to the council to help fund the all-volunteer effort, which recently has been conducting biweekly clean-ups of homeless-generated trash along Broadway. Brown showed “before and after” photos to the council members, saying the pilot project by volunteers who often dip into their own pockets to pay dump fees has been a remarkable success. When the huge piles of garbage are trucked to the dump every other week, it runs up a tab of $250 a month, he told the council. “If you are homeless, you probably can’t afford to buy trash bags,” Brown began, conceding that the public’s perception of the homeless is that they simply don’t care where they throw their garbage. “The whole point of this project is that we provide the bags and we provide motivation to get our new friends, the homeless campers, invested in the idea that there’s a better way. “That there’s a better way and we are willing to help them with some resources if they’e willing to change some habits,” said Brown. The Palmers were willing to change — and more than that, they are willing to pitch in and help other homeless people to share the chance they’ve been given. Deanne a couple of weekends ago threw an event in a parking lot near the Dollar Store on Broadway where homeless were given donated blankets, clothing and other needed items — along with information regarding resources that can help them toss the tent and get off the streets. She hopes to present more of such programs and in fact is organizing an effort to have her husband and their friend AJ begin a non-profit handyman company that will employ the homeless. “We would hire people who wanted it, to change their lifestyle,” said Deanne,
Candidates
voice excited at the new prospect. “I’m good with understanding how to get resources and we would tell the people we hire to save part of their checks, I could help with that, and that way they would save enough money for rent somewhere.” Deanne took a breath and revealed the planned name for the umbrella enterprise, D&D Hands of Hope, with the actual firm featuring the two handymen called House Doctors. Sadly, both the Palmers think most of the homeless, not only in the Placerville area but everywhere, don’t have a strong enough desire to give up their unhealthy addictions and seek the rewards of sobriety. “I’d say 65 percent of them won’t do it,” said Danny, as his wife nodded agreement. They should know. Despite the birth of her first boy, Deanne readily concedes that the spirit of willingness didn’t really suffuse her soul until learning she was pregnant with Graceson. “That was a terrifying thought, being homeless and pregnant,” she said. “I know this baby saved my life.” Graceson squiggled in his Grandma Terri’s embrace, reaching toward his mother’s arms. Deanne’s excitement over helping other homeless find a way out punctuated her words earlier — and there was no mistaking that same tone as she shared one more bit of news regarding the changes in the Palmers’ lives. “I’m pregnant,” she said, smiling widely. “We’re going to have a daughter.” That smile was mirrored by Terri, whose eyes misted as she recalled something her own mother, Evelyn Fittro, told her years ago, right after Terri, fed up with her daughter’s drug and alcohol abuse, ordered her out. “She said, ‘Don’t give up on your daughter,’” said Terri, not bothering to wipe her tears. Acknowledging that the public often doubts homeless people truly wish to change, and stung by comments on social media that are brutal and even obscene, Deanne shared one final thought as she opened the door to her own home for her guests to take their leave. “Even if most of the homeless aren’t willing to change, what about those who do want that?” she said. “Isn’t saving just one life worth it?”

Community Council, EDHCSD, EDH Incorporation Committee and EDH Action Committee. Small business owner Paulsen brought up his local government experience within the EDHCSD as a director and serving on the Parks and Planning Subcommittee as well as several ad hoc committees. An El Dorado Hills resident since 1967, Haug shared a simple message: SOS EDH (Save Open Space in El Dorado Hills). As a fiscal conservative his said goal is to assure the county stays on budget. He also promised to donate his supervisor’s salary to the EDH Promise Foundation for the preservation of open space. “I will not accept donations, but I will accept your vote,” he quipped. Although Briggs has been a county resident for 48 years, he moved to El Dorado Hills only five years ago. The only District 4 supervisor to be re-elected in the last 35 years, Briggs told the crowd he’s proud that he left the county debt free with $40 million in cash reserves and a four-year program to repair the roads.
Pressing issues All candidates were generally in favor of cityhood. However, Hidahl, Paulsen and Haug shared concerns about the financial viability of incorporation. Regarding campaign funding, specifically from developers, both Paulsen and Haug told the audience they are self-funded. Hidahl said he will not accept donations from developers but has accepted small donations from community residents. Briggs said he spent approximately $140,000 of his own money during his 2006 campaign and is self-funding this go-round. Regarding his re-election for the District 4 seat, he admitted, “I received $25,000 from Parker (Development). After I was out of office AKT & Associates contacted me and asked if they could help me reduce my debt and gave me $10,000. “By the way, I’m voting no on everything Parker has,” he added. Parker Development’s proposed Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan was a hot topic and prompted several questions. Paulsen, Haug and Briggs came out strongly opposed to any rezone of the old executive golf course whereas Hidahl acknowledged that he would consider the CSD’s fallback position of purchasing only 45 acres of the parcel as opposed to the entire 98
acres. “There may be a partial re-zone that might be a compromise that could be in the best interest of the community. But the current proposal that is before us, I cannot support,” he clarified. Hidahl called attention to the El Dorado County General Plan that specifies that 75 percent of growth should happen over community regions like Cameron Park, Shingle Springs and El Dorado Hills yet to date, El Dorado Hills alone has incurred 85 percent of the growth in the county. “We’re way out of balance with respect to our General Plan,” he said. When asked what changes they would like to see in the Planning Department, Haug replied, “If this thing (CEDHSP) does go through, I’m prepared to sue.” Mismanagement of road maintenance funds was also of interest. Hidahl explained that the county was told funding would be twice what was actually received and admitted that his subdivision was one of the limited areas where funds were used. “We need to find a way to acquire more funds to actually do road maintenance given the disrepair of our roads,” he said. “We all know that the state has a bait-andswitch type of process.” In closing, Briggs told the crowd, “I’m very effective as a supervisor. I get things done.” He also referred to $33 million owed to property owners for illegally collected fees through the Mitigation Fee Act and said he would initiate a refund program if elected. Hidahl maintained he achieved all his original campaign goals, including three successive years of a structurally balanced budget, preservation of all open space in El Dorado Hills and many new choices for senior housing in the community. He said he’s fighting to restore the capital improvement projects, removed in 2015 by other supervisors, to fund road improvements primarily on Green Valley Road and Bass Lake Road. Paulsen’s closing statements focused on augmenting the power of El Dorado Hills within the county. “If we don’t have the representation of a city or a CSD that can actually move in the areas that we need to, then our best move is to move to the county,” he said. Haug closed with his motto of SOS EDH and reminded the crowd of his vow to refuse any campaign donations. “You won’t see any of my signs littering the landscape of El Dorado Hills,” he assured.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are questions worth answering every day, and every day they will be answered in a new way, mostly with slight differences. Though you’re coming into a cycle in which differences will be more pronounced. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re going to have to wake yourself in the name of motivation. The truth provides just the nudge. It’s time to lead yourself away from the things you’re doing that run counter to your own best interests. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are different theories about forgiveness. Some shun the idea completely. Some insist it’s the answer. Either way, most would agree it’s a lighter way to go than carrying a grudge. CANCER (June 22-July 22). To find out what your love language is, look at the last time you were hurt in love and by what. Then look at how you expressed love to another person. These indicators point to the style you’d be most receptive to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Children go to school and, hopefully, learn how to learn. (SET ITAL)What(END ITAL) to learn — that’s a different story, and subject to much debate. You’re still convinced you don’t know the right things, but you’re equally convinced you know how to figure them out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you believe you don’t know what you’re doing and then get evidence that supports that belief, frustration sets in. This is the point when many would give up. Not you. All of this can be figured out, if only you don’t quit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are those you admire and doing so seems to feed you on some level, give you ideas, make you feel energized. Then there are others you give a kind of tense admiration that verges on upset. Don’t focus there. It helps nothing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not that you want to move faster, it’s just that you need to get more done and that seems like the obvious way. Then again, you could add more people to the mix. That would be the fun way! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be caught between wanting to give and realizing the cost, which even the smallest interaction will have. Most of the expense will be so worthwhile. Still, you can’t spend quality time with everyone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some topics go very obviously with you. Anyone getting to know you will be moved to ask about them. Your discussion on these topics will be important to your business and to the way you think about yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps there is a part of you who is afraid of another more aggressive part of you, and there’s been some you-on-you bullying. The good news is there’s also a mediator in there somewhere to work things out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes people get to the top and forget the thousands of small steps it took to get there, encouraging with unhelpful platitudes. You’ll provide more useful help by imparting smaller and more specific instruction.

Tibetan monks bring blessings to El Dorado County
Placerville Friends of Tibet News release
S
ince 1959 many Tibetans have been living in exile in India. The journey from Tibet to India is perilous, with many losing their lives while trekking through the Himalayas before finding their way to resettlement communities. Gaden Shartse Monastery, located in South India, was founded as a school to support Tibetan Buddhism. Each year Gaden Shartse sends monks to the United States to engage in cultural exchanges. Host cities help by raising funds used to house, clothe, feed and educate the approximately 1,500 monks living in the monastery. This year Placerville Friends of Tibet hosts the monks of Gaden Shartse Monastery for the 18th year on the first stop of their 2020 United States national tour. The monks began making their annual visits to the foothills in 1997 due to the efforts of Joseph Guida of Sierra Friends of Tibet in Grass Valley. Tour stops in Placerville and Auburn were later added, with Placerville starting in 2003 and Auburn added in 2015. This year will mark 23 years of visits from the monks. The monks will visit Feb. 14-22, primarily staying at 7533
Monks events schedule Feb. 14 Noon: Opening Ceremony: Green Tara Mandala. 7 p.m. Vajravidaran Healing Ritual. Feb. 15 10:30 a.m. Butter sculpture workshop.

Eighth-grade students Lily Zeff, Gino Skaggs, Josh Mulert and Rachel Potter, left to right, share stories about the Chinese mining community in California during the Gold Rush.
Fourth-graders get Gold Rush lessons Sel Richard Staff writer
R
olling Hills Middle School eighth-graders hosted their third annual Gold Rush Fair, teaching younger students about the many groups that migrated and settled in the West during the 1800s. “Fourth-graders are learning about Gold Rush history, which overlaps with the unit we are studying, so they make the perfect audience,” teacher Kara Randall said. American studies teachers Randall and Eric Perkins supervise the event. In the past fourth-grade students walked from their school site, but this year Rolling Hills Principal Debbie Bowers agreed to cover bus costs to transport kids. Feb. 7 fourth-graders from Oak Meadow, Silva Valley and Valley View elementary schools arrived to see presentations on 49ers, Mormons, missionaries, African-Americans, pioneer women, Chinese, explorers and Californios. Because of smaller class sizes and limited material available, the presentation on California Indians was cut. “It also represents the most difficult topic for our students to research. The atrocities the California natives faced during the Gold Rush have been compared to a genocide,” Perkins explained. “Groups in this situation, especially non-English speaking groups, are often under-represented in the historical record.” More than 300 eighth-graders prepared for the event by researching, building displays, donning costumes and some even brought treats for their young pupils. “The research is always the most challenging part for our students,” said Perkins. “In the age of Google, they expect the internet to give them
answers. To do our best to prevent that we introduced certain websites for them to use.” Perkins also credits librarian Lois Deathridge with hand-selecting books for the students to study. The final two days prior were spent in dress rehearsals, presenting to each other. In years past the students were required to present to their class. “The kids hated it,” revealed Randall, which led to the idea of presenting to smaller groups and ultimately bringing in the elementary schools. “They are so much different when they present to the fourth-graders,” she said, noting the uptick in interest and enthusiasm when faced with the task of teaching their younger cohorts. Young students rotated from station to station, rapt and taking notes as they listened to the culmination of the eighth-grade projects. “I think they like it. I think they’re learning a lot,” eighth-grader Rachel Potter said. Her fellow presenter Lily Zeff told the Democrat she enjoyed her teaching role. “They really like touching the objects at the end,” she noticed. Amelia Gao said she was concerned that perhaps they didn’t tailor enough to their young audience. “I don’t think they really understood some of the words.” But the fourth-graders were all smiles. “I liked the 49ers and the gold pans,” said Silva Valley student Alex Kreuzer. Ilyana Lampe was impressed by her young educators. “The Mormons group was nice to us and asked us questions about what we learned,” she said. “They showed us what they were like at the time and how they are today.” “We are always impressed by how our eighth-grade students rise to the responsibility of teaching fourth-grade students,” Perkins said.

other debris. Sometimes wasps build nests in the boxes so you will need to remove the abandoned wasp nests, too. Tools you will need are gloves to remove old nesting material and to protect your hands from bugs, a screwdriver to open the side panel and a wire brush to clean out spider webs, old wasp nests and other debris. You can use a hammer to gently bang the nails back into place. I use tie wraps (aka zip ties) to attach my box to the tree. Be sure to use commercial grade UV resistant ties. I like tie-wraps because they will break instead of girdling the tree like wire or rope might. I once noticed a small group of five or six Western Bluebirds entering a box in late fall, well after nesting season was over. It was odd that a group of them were going in and out. I did some reading and learned that small groups may overnight in bird boxes to keep warm in winter. I had a house wren nest in one box, too. In winter a Downy Woodpecker likes to spend the night in one of the boxes. It does not nest in the box, though. Once nesting season arrives a woodpecker will find or excavate the perfect spot in a real tree. Enjoy observing the bluebirds. You will find them endlessly entertaining.

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.

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 800-280-2832 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-19-871440-BF.

sand and stain. With the help of 25 students, troop members and adults, the project took nearly two days to complete at a cost of about $2,500. “The kids and parents from Ryan’s troop clearly had a great time,” said enrichment teacher Matt Swain. “They worked hard and I’m sure each of us learned a lot.” With the recent rain, Swain added, “Many people have praised the new, improved look of the garden and when I’m out there after a rain I’m grateful for the decomposed granite and flagstone surface around the raised beds.
I’m particularly grateful that we were able to use materials that will both endure and be easy to maintain in the long run. Ryan’s generosity and efficient planning will add to a beautiful, effective garden for years to come.” Even though the Eagle Project is the last project for a Scout to complete, Ryan said he isn’t ready to move on. Having been in the Boy Scouts since fifth grade, he said he enjoys the camaraderie and the environment and plans on sticking around for a while. “I want to help other troop members.” His one big take-away from his project: “I learned that it’s not easy leading a group of people but I am very thankful for all their help.”
