County ends Pollock Pines hotel negotiations Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Project Homekey will have to find a new home now that El Dorado County leaders scrapped their pursuit to purchase the Best Western Stagecoach Inn in Pollock Pines. County officials were in the process of procuring the Pony Express Trail hotel to convert into a homeless shelter as part of Project Homekey, which would use state funding to purchase the hotel.
The property is currently being rented by the county as part of Project Roomkey to temporarily shelter homeless individuals using COVID-19related funding. After discussions with county staff, District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel called to end negotiations between the property owner and the county at the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors’ Jan. 4 meeting. Novasel said even though she is a supporter of Homekey, she would rather
New CPCSD leader on the job Jana Rossi Staff writer New Cameron Park Community Services General Manager André Pichly has worked in the parks and recreation field for nearly 32 years. His illustrious career includes 20 years as West Sacramento’s recreation superintendent before he headed to Tracy, where he served as the Parks and Community Services director. But it was Sacramento that Pichly called home even as his other employment stints took him farther away, including Auburn and St. Helena. “I loved St. Helena,” Pichly shared, but added he missed being home after spending three days a week in the Napa Valley. Fate intervened when the Southern California-based company that his wife Alene worked remotely for offered

Late last year Pichly got the job and the couple decided to make the leap, moving up the hill to Placerville. They are now able to carpool to work since his wife works just a mile away from the CPCSD office. Pichly said he is excited to help develop his new staff ’s roles within the community and enjoys keeping the enthusiasm up. I am impressed with the passion they have in their jobs,” he said. “We can play a positive role in helping people feel a sense of normalcy and keep them safe. I like having a positive impact on the people we serve by bringing quality services to the residents.” The Pichlys have deep roots within the California State University, Sacramento, community, having met while attending college there and where Pichly currently teaches in the n

see county staff pursue and potentially convert blighted property into a homeless housing shelter. “In every community, there is blight,” Novasel said. “There has got to be opportunities out there where you can use community revitalization from the dollars we are receiving from the federal government and use that money to redevelop and revitalize those areas.” Novasel said she is concerned about taking an economically viable property

Lights back for most Thomas Frey Staff writer Some 1,173 PG&E customers in El Dorado County remained without electricity Thursday in what for them has become an 11-day outage. The latest date those customers would have their power restored is Jan. 11, according to PG&E spokesperson Megan McFarland. That would add up to 16 days in the dark. “Many customers will be restored in the coming days and we can commit to an estimated time of restoration of Tuesday, Jan. 11,” McFarland said. “To be clear, many customers will be restored earlier.” A Dec. 27 winter storm brought heavy snowfall that downed trees and power lines, initially affecting transmission of electricity for 27,000 customers in El Dorado County. On Thursday 973 PG&E customers in Georgetown were without power and nine in Pollock Pines. In Pollock Pines propane became a hot commodity. “We are selling more than three times the amount of propane than we normally do,” said Dan Blanchard, who works at the Pollock Pines Shell station, which is also a Ferrelgas propane vendor. On Tuesday Blanchard told the Mountain Democrat the fuel station had been getting a propane delivery every other day and that he himself

Dirt roads closed for winter USDA Forest Service Dirt roads in the Eldorado National Forest were ordered closed Jan. 1 to protect roadbeds and watersheds from damage and to protect water quality. These roads will remain closed until at least April 1. The annual closure of a minimum of three months from Jan. 1 through March 30 was designated for the core part of the winter in the Eldorado National Forest Travel Management Plan. To maintain flexibility, the timing of the dirt road closure is determined based on current conditions each year which may cause the closure to go into effect early or be extended. Regardless of when the closure is in effect, visitors should use good judgement about whether motor vehicle use will cause resource damage and they can be held responsible if damage occurs. The seasonal closure does not affect routes in the Rock Creek Area of the Eldorado National Forest near Georgetown, which has its own route closure process. Roads subject to seasonal closure are identified on a motor vehicle use map that can be found on the forest website at fs.usda.gov/eldorado.

Driver suspected of DUI rams into Mel’s Mountain Democrat staff An Oakland man was booked into the El Dorado County Jail Jan. 1 on suspicion of driving under the influence after he drove into the side of the Original Mel’s Diner in Placerville. Craig Detwiler, 71, reportedly rammed the brick and tile exterior of the Main Street eatery with his gray Honda Passport, causing damage
to the restrooms. No injuries were reported in the 7:30 p.m. incident, according to responding medics with the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. Placerville police Cmdr. Dan Maciel said a DUI investigation was conducted and it was determined Detwiler had been operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit.
Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

First-responding Pioneer Fire Protection District crews arrived to this well-involved garage fire on Yearling Court in Somerset Jan. 3.
Fifth-wheel and garage destroyed in pair blazes Mountain Democrat staff Firefighters saw back-to-back destruction in south county Jan. 2 and 3. A fifth wheel outside a home on Dorado Canyon Road in Somerset was destroyed by flames Jan. 2. The fire was reported around 9:40 p.m. and crews arrived on scene to find a travel trailer engulfed, according to a news release from the Pioneer Fire Protection District. Firefighters made an exterior attack but the fifth wheel and its contents were lost, according to fire officials. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
Pichly Continued from A1 Recreation, Parks and Tourism Department. His three children — Andy, Alexa and Alyse — also attended Sac State, two of them having followed in their father’s footsteps and work in the same field. When Pichly isn’t working or teaching, you can find him walking his dogs Addison and A.J. and toiling away on an old Volkswagen bus. Moving to Placerville also took him a little closer to the ski slopes he enjoys visiting.
Just hours later another fire broke out in a garage on Yearling Road, which is off Sand Ridge Road. Reported at 2:16 a.m., firefighters “made an aggressive exterior attack but were hampered by downed, charged power lines and limited water supply,” states a news release. The garage, which fire crews described as a large shop, was severely damaged and its contents destroyed, according to fire officials. The cause of the fire is under investigation and anyone with information that might help investigators is asked to contact the Pioneer Fire Protection District at (530) 620-4445.

On the negative side, California is once Dan Walters again dealing with a surge of COVID-19, this one caused by a particularly virulent variant called Omicron, that creates thorny issues, such as whether public schools serving 6 million kids can remain open. Californians’ angst over the pandemic’s impacts is magnified by rising public fears over crime, particularly homicides and other violent crime.

Conversely, however, those occupying the ladder’s higher rungs have been prospering. Federal economic policies, especially low interest rates, have inflated values of their income-producing assets, such as stocks, and the state has seen tens of billions of dollars in additional income tax revenues. These conflicting trends set the stage for a momentous debate over how the cornucopia of tax money will be spent. Should California now take giant steps toward the creation of a Western European-style array of income subsidies and social services, much favored by those on the left wing of the dominant Democratic Party?

Letters to the Editor Did USFS officials choose to let the Caldor Fire burn out of control? EDITOR: ather than following the cardinal rule of fighting wildfires, which is to immediately and aggressively fight the fire, U.S. Forest Service officials consciously chose to let the Caldor Fire burn and just monitor it. That means they sat and watched this wildfire grow while doing little to contain it. Unbelievably, USFS officials chose to let the Caldor Fire burn even though conditions in the forest were extremely hazardous — a tinder box ready to ignite and a power keg ready to explode with a Red Flag Warning in place. Regrettably, USFS officials dismissed four different firefighting entities from the scene at the fire’s start. All were ready and willing to fight the fire. USFS officials dismissed them because these officials wanted to let the fire burn; they wanted to let nature run its course. While USFS officials were watching the Caldor Fire grow and taking a minimal approach to fighting the fire, this wildfire grew larger and larger and hotter and hotter. On the third day of the Caldor Fire, it got so big and so hot that it exploded into a firestorm creating its own winds and producing an explosive fire that torched of trees and crowned. The crowning took flying embers up to a mile ahead of the fire, starting spot fires that rapidly and greatly expanded the size of the fire. Then this explosive wildfire raged and raced 4 miles toward Grizzly Flat. Only then did the USFS officials take a full and aggressive approach to try to contain the Caldor Fire. It was too late. In spite of their efforts at that time, the fire virtually destroyed Grizzly Flat. The fire had become uncontrollable and caused disastrous damage to people, wild animals, properties and the forest in its path. Then the Caldor Fire raged and raced 60 miles to the Lake Tahoe Basin, wreaking terrible havoc and destruction all the way. To me, what USFS officials did constitutes criminal negligence. What they did caused over $340 million in financial losses, injured 16 firefighters (some seriously), injured two civilians (both seriously and who had to be life-flighted to hospitals), injured and killed wild animals, virtually

destroyed Grizzly Flat, destroyed over 700 homes, destroyed over 200,000 acres of prime forest and will result in the permanent loss in the clarity of the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe. The USFS officials ignored the huge risk of letting the Caldor Fire burn in a forest with extremely hazardous fire conditions. And they disregarded the lives and safety of persons in the path of this horrendous wildfire. The USFS officials’ actions are unbelievable. What they did is outrageous.

Overreach EDITOR: have no idea if the world has survived the pandemic or not but it seems like those in charge have a grasp on it and we seem to be trying to reach some form of normalcy. At least my grandkids are in school and we spent the holidays together. We as a society have just survived something horrific that has lasted years and I’m starting to wonder when does the celebration start? And why are we not because everything is pointing to the fact that we should all be able to resume our lives as we deem fit. Except for one little thing. The government is telling us as business owners that we have to turn away customers who can not prove they’ve been vaccinated. Really? After surviving personally and in business the shutdowns and the mandates that seem to change weekly, the government is now telling us that we must be the police and demand ID from people who want to give us the very money we need to stay in business and pay the government their fair share of our revenue in taxes. And this government has hired enforcement to go to our businesses and entrap us and give $1,000 fines for not demanding ID and forcefully kicking our clients out of our establishments? This being the same government who doesn’t mandate their customers (voters) to have any ID at all. I think this government has overreached its authority and has no way to enforce these laws but we’ll see.

The Not So Weekly Daley
Predictions for 2022 (assuming I keep my teeth)
I
predict that a solid 16 things will get better in 2022 than they were in 2021. However a full 12 or 13 things will get worse. Four or maybe five things will stay the same. Unfortunately, at this time I am not able to give details on a Chris number of these things, in fact it’s a fairly significant number — more on this later — think mid-April to early June at the earliest. Close to home, I predict that I won’t lose another tooth between now and the last day of December. Admittedly, I’m swimming upstream and against the wind on this one and the odds are about 22 to 78 that I’ll be right. That’s a lot of negative odds for sure, so come early June I reserve the right to revise this particular prediction. I predict that the next Daylight Savings event will occur on or about 2 a.m. the first Sunday in March. I’d say you could take that one
to the bank barring unforeseen glitches like jumbo comets or asteroids such as the one in the “Don’t Look Up” movie on Netflix. (If one or more of the immediately above happens, all bets are off.) Reports earlier this week announced that Daley subpoenas for the Creature from MarA-Lago’s spawn have been sent by New York’s attorney general. My prediction is for a boodle of “sound and fury signifying nothing.” Not much new there, I predict. The 49ers have a slim to no chance of getting to the Super Bowl and I predict their game against the Rams this week could be disappointing to the faithful. I’ll see if Manuel, one of my oldest and best buddies from teacher school at UC Davis and a diehard LA fan, wants to meet me in El Dorado Hills and bet 25 cents on the game — over a brew or two of course. I predict that the Rams “will come to play” and the Niners will show up.

And while I’m at it, I predict that my Giants will have a really good and fun season, and that’s all I’ll say about that ... for now. I predict that Russia will continue to harass and threaten Ukraine in the coming months. (Have you ever wondered why Ukraine used to always be called “the Ukraine?”) I have. Not sure when it lost the “the” or why. I predict that Dr. Fauci will be nominated for sainthood, but it will be a steep climb and I don’t predict a final decision much before 2078. And you can probably take that one to the bank as well. However, if some crazies have their way, he might get there a lot sooner. That’s how martyrdom works. Speaking of those crazies, I predict that many of them will run for their local school boards and town councils over the next few years. If they lose fair and square, they will take every case to the very steps of the Supreme Court where they will stumble and bumble around for awhile. If they win fair and square they will blame it on Antifa and PTAs and go burn something down.
COVID-19 will fade by May as the Centers for Disease Control stops making recommendations. The turning point comes when science acknowledges that after years of bad publicity, eating super sugary cereals may actually be better for you than certain things such as Ivermectin and Drano. And they’re much tastier than dry bagels. Toronto-based Spin Master sees its stock price soar into the stratosphere mid-year. Republican state legislatures are buying up all the company’s Etch A Sketch devices to replace their ballot counting machines thus leaving no paper trail for future elections. Poll workers will use “burner” phones to call in their Etch A Sketch results. Tell me that ain’t genius! I predict that Joe Biden will postpone changing his name to Brandon until early in his 2024 presidential campaign. BTW: When I suggest “you can take it to the bank,” I don’t have a particular bank in mind. Happy New Year! Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

one-time purposes, such as paying down debt or public works projects? Gov. Gavin Newsom anticipates what he called an “historic” surplus as revenues continue to flood the state treasury, so far an additional $10 billion halfway through the 2021-22 fiscal year. The state budget has already topped a quarter-trillion dollars and the Legislature’s budget advisor, Gabe Petek, estimates that the state will have another $31 billion surplus for the 2022-23 budget. Newsom will unveil his proposed budget next week and has already dropped some hints about his priorities, such as more money to combat crime and clean up homeless encampments. Legislative leaders want to prioritize aid to low-income Californians suffering the most from the pandemic, both medically and financially. “It’s interesting the economy continues to do well (but) people don’t feel it,” Assembly Budget Committee chairman Phil Ting said. “And so I think we have to get a sense of exactly where the pain points are, and what (are) the best ways to help them out.” Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins has proposed to spend the windfall on “those who need it most — the middle class and families struggling to get by.” Specifics would include affordable housing and payments to essential workers.
The Gann Limit, a measure adopted by voters in 1979, restricts how unanticipated revenues can be spent, such as education, public works and rebates to taxpayers. The latter could be met by reprising last year’s cash payments to those under certain income thresholds. Legislators are already being deluged with suggestions and demands on how to spend the budget windfall and it’s impossible to meet them all. The politics of plenty can be just as difficult as the politics of poverty.

I recommend that if this government wants to remain in power it throws a parade celebrating the heroics of the first responders and the ingenuity of these politicians’ own brilliance. I plead with them to do this because we are the same people who overthrew a tyrannical government for imposing a 3% tax on tea. And we all see what they are doing and it’s stupid.

In a way, Kevin Placek had been preparing for the call to become a high school football head coach for more than half his life and when the call came from El Dorado High School, offering him the open position, it was one he, his wife and their two boys couldn’t pass up. He replaces Christian Mahaffey, who went 10-12 in three years as head coach. Placek’s ties to the high school and El Dorado County are deep. His wife, her mom and her grandparents all went to El Dorado while Placek played at Ponderosa as an all-league center. He then embarked on a coaching journey with stops at Pondo, Vista del Lago, Folsom and Oak Ridge — at the last two stops he was the co-defensive coordinator. “I hope the kids and community understand how excited I am to be here,” Placek said. “There’s good things coming to this place. There is just a lot of hard work that’s got to take place between now and then.” He played under famed coaches Travis Hatcher and James Campen and learned from legends Chris Jones, Darren Jonutz, Paul Doherty, Casey Taylor and Eric Cavaliere as an assistant coach moving up the coaching ladder. “Kevin just brings a different level of passion and he has very good football knowledge,” Cavaliere said. “I’d expect Kevin to show up with a plan and really be able to put El Dorado in a good place pretty quickly.” El Dorado players are known to
work hard on the practice field and in the weight room to give the game everything they have and so is Placek. He has seen that winning on Friday is much more than showing up for the game. Game week begins on Saturday with getting film breakdowns, scouting reports, practice plans and play scripts ready for Monday’s practice. “When we hit Monday meetings you have to have a real legitimate plan,” Placek said. “That way you walk into that room and the kids can see the confidence. Kids these days, they’ve got great BS meters and they’re going to know right off the bat whether or not you’re prepared.” Joey Whiting, an all-league senior defensive lineman at Oak Ridge last season, said he noticed how committed Placek is to his craft. “His coaching style and dedication to the game motivated me to strive to be the best football player I could be,” Whiting said. “He always gives feedback in a constructive manner and is never negative, which gives me confidence where I would do anything he asked me to do on the field.” Placek is a defensive coach who has watched and studied high-powered offenses for years. At Oak Ridge his defenses went up against current New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book and San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley every day in practice when the duo played for the Trojans. “The ironic thing about spending that much of your career working on the defensive side of the football is you spend all your time studying n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You take pride in doing
a fine job with the maintenance of your life. This sends a signal to the universe that you’re happy for what you have. You’ll soon find yourself with even more of it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The uncomfortable rub between you and another person is an external manifestation of an argument inside your mind. Sort out your thoughts and the problem goes away. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When learning to communicate, children go from using one style in every situation to developing different modes -- formal, professional, informal, intimate, etc. You’ve a knack for using just the right tone for the time to great success. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You solved a problem in the way you could at the time. Now you’re wondering if it was really the best way. You now have the luxury of giving it another look and experimenting with different solutions and approaches. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Modern life often gives the sensation of flying above human physicality, but the reality is that you are an animal, physically expressed, alive in motion. Your mind works best when you tend to the needs of the body. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While it’s easy to tell when you’re progressing inside of a game or even at work, social advancement is a trickier equation. Much relies on your ability to correctly read subtle cues. You’ll be brilliant at this now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll find the intersection of what you want to give and what they want to pay for. Success depends on doing what people care about, talking about what people are interested in and generally thinking of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Moods come and go. You prefer to make decisions based on your overall vision of your life, not the moment-to-moment minutiae of feelings. You refuse to give a mood too much sway over your schedule. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Children can spot a phony from a mile away. You’ll be gifted with similar instincts about people. The less you know about a person, the more spot-on your initial impressions will be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You signed up for something a long time ago and now that the moment has arrived, you simply aren’t that into it. However, it will be very fortunate indeed to honor your original commitments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re no stranger to compromise -- you do it almost every day. That’s why today is so special. No need to serve the pleasure of others. The most responsible thing you can do is whatever you please. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Familiarity comes with its own kind of blindness. It’s better to know a little about people than to know too much. The more you learn about your heroes, the less heroic they may seem.
Whether it was pass blocking or run blocking, Union Mine senior Jaxon King’s work in the 2021 season led to the 6-foot-8, 300-pound left tackle being named to the Maxpreps All SacJoaquin Section first team. The senior with a high grade point average, used his size, strength and mental skills to help lead the Diamondbacks to an 8-2 record and a first round bye in the playoffs. Nearly 70% of his team’s passes were completed with King protecting his quarterback’s blindside. King also led Union Mine’s offensive line — known as the Pancake Mafia — in the run game. Whether it was quarterback Calvin Owens keeping the ball, or tailbacks Scott Smith or Parker Mallot running the ball, the Diamondbacks ran an average of 6.2 yards per carry and almost 205 rushing yards per game.

Union Mine senior Jaxon King was named to the 2021 Maxpreps All Sac-Joaquin Section Football first team. Conner Dasmann was named to the Maxpreps All Sac-Joaquin section second team. Dasmann had 74 tackles and paced the Trojans with 9.5 sacks, including some against Granite Bay, Cosumnes Oaks and Del Oro. Dasmann was also nominated for the Cal-Hi Sports All-State football team along with
senior teammate Reese Catchings. As a senior Catchings recorded more than 1,000 yards, 761 as a running back. Three times this season Catchings had more than 100 rushing yards in a game. Cal-Hi Sports will name its All-State football team at a later date.

The emergency tree removal contract will allow Caltrans crews to focus on continued snow removal operations and highway maintenance activities. El Dorado County Department of Transportation staff in the Road Maintenance Division report that snowblowers are working their way through roadways from South Lake Tahoe to the West Slope. Five rotary blowers were on the job Thursday. One of the county’s snowblowers has “major damage” after someone reportedly placed a crank shaft in a snow berm, according to a post to the El Dorado County Roads

DOT crews are also clearing trees, repairing potholes and a drainage culvert needed replacement on North Canyon Road in Camino. While electricity might be back online, snow is still piled up in some communites as it slowly melts away with high temperatures in the
upper 40s and low 50s. At Sierra Nevada Tire & Wheel in Pollock Pines, manager Travis Beckett on Tuesday climbed a staircase of snow out the business’ back door to show the Mountain Democrat the 3 feet of snow he and his team of mechanics had to dig out to access their heater.

offenses,” Cavaliere said. “That kind of plays into a good situation for Kevin as a head coach. He’s gonna really know offense and he’s gonna know what’s difficult to defend.” Placek will have to replace many of El Dorado’s top players like Sierra Valley Conference Lineman of the Year Jakob Bell and All-League honorees Giovanni Pifferini, River Hurst and Evan Ward. He said he wants to find guys who will show up, practice hard and be good teammates. “If you can get guys that are going to buy in, are willing to show up to practice and weights every day and that are going to be supportive of each other, you can accomplish a lot,” Placek said. Three of El Dorado’s top offensive players were juniors last year in wide receivers Ryan Wilson and Devon Hurst and Anthony Mahaffey, the signal caller. He passed for 758 yards and six touchdowns in the team’s first
seven games. More than 500 of those yards were to Wilson and Hurst. “You watch these kids on film last season and they played hard. There’s a lot of heart in this group,” Placek said. Placek just spent the past decade locking horns with large school powers like Rocklin, Granite Bay and Folsom and now he will lead teams out to battle SVC squads like Union Mine, Bradshaw Christian and Rosemont — smaller schools packing a punch. “There’s no easy wins in this league,” Placek said. “There’s a lot of good football being played.” Placek was a part of the 1999 Bruins team that beat El Dorado to win the rivalry Gold Pan trophy. Now, he will be on the Cougars sideline going against Union Mine where the Gold Nugget trophy and a year’s worth of bragging rights will be on the line. “I’m excited about having a rivalry game with a trophy in week 10,” Placek said. “That’s gonna be awesome.”

a commitment to try to continue to follow and support the homeless problems we are dealing with. “They would like to be part of the solution and I don’t think there is any other place in the county that we have identified that is a suitable site, that does not take a lot of repairs and that we have a willing seller.” Hidahl added that it would cost too much money to renovate a property to operate properly. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo brought up the potential use of pallet homes to shelter the homeless, an idea Turnboo has promoted since mid-November. “A lot of cities and counties are adopting this plan now,” Turnboo said. “I just think this whole thing with the hotel is a waste of money and it is not in the right place. Pollock Pines gets a lot of snow at times, around 4-6 feet, and I don’t think that is feasible.” Thousands in Pollock Pines recently went without electricity for more than a week due to heavy snowfall. District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said 70% of 183 homeless served in the Roomkey program have exited homelessness since the start of the project. “You don’t often get to test drive a solution before you pull the trigger on it, so I’m struggling to (discontinue) this.” Novasel said that while the
application for a new funding source for Homekey is due by April, there is a possibility a third round of funding will be made available and time constraints should not be a factor in making homeless solutions. “I’d hate for us to be put under this pressure of having to do something just because there is a hard-set timeline for funding,” Novasel explained. “We are going after funding and not going after what is best for our community.” Thomas noted that county staff will have to further explore other options if they decided to strike negotiations. “This board is often really good at exploring theoretical solutions but when it comes time to pull the trigger, we often lack the political will to do that and we send our staff on wild goose chases,” Thomas said. Pollock Pines residents and business owners previously expressed concern about a homeless shelter in their community due to a lack of nearby resources to serve the homeless. Complaints about potential crime, trespassing and drugs were also driving factors. Much like the board, public opinion on the county discontinuing the negotiations from both spoken and written comment were divided. The final vote was 3-2 with Hidahl and Thomas casting no votes.

beginning of time, a world few have truly seen until now. “The Bat Woman and the Bat Man of India” — Bhargavi and Chelmala Srinivasulu’s chiropteran-infused love has guided their passion for studying and protecting bat species around India. And it’s what launched them on a journey to find a bat that had not been seen in nearly three decades: the Kolar leaf-nosed bat. “The Beast of Our Time” — This inquiry into the relationship between climate change and grizzly bears, narrated by Jeff Bridges, features top scientists, advocates, authors, filmmakers and poets who investigate and find the fates of both grizzly bears and humans to be more interlinked than we ever suspected. “Big Medicine” — This film showcases the activities of a small nonprofit that provides education and resources for people using the Black Rock High Rock area of Northern Nevada. “The Bird Nerds of Mono Lake” — Wildlife biologist Ashli Lewis and ecologist Peter Bloom climb strange rock formations to band raptor chicks. “Black Ice” — A crew of aspiring ice climbers from the Memphis Rox gym travels to the frozen wilds of Montana, where mentors Manoah Ainuu, Conrad Anker and Fred Campbell share their love of winter adventure in the mountains. “Blood Scales” — The head of investigations at the Last Great Ape Organization hunts a ring of wildlife traffickers in possession of 550 pounds of pangolin scales.

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — The Tahoe Adventure Film Festival returns to Bally’s Resort and Casino in South Lake Tahoe for a legendary night, Friday, Jan. 8. “It’s a collection of action, adventure and sports films and profiles of characters in sports,” said Todd Offenbacher, Tahoe TV host and event organizer. The doors to Bally’s showroom will open at 7 p.m., with a photo gallery and entertainment ready for guests looking for their seats. “Our festival is really unique,” said Offenbacher. “When the doors open, there’s photography from Grant Gunderson and there’s dancers and entertainment in there. There’s music and tons of giveaways. “It’s just really a fun event for our community,” he continued. “It started out being more about the action-adventure sports, but it’s morphed into something more of now being more about that connection to friends, family, community and this very unique mountain lifestyle that we all experienced living here or visiting here.” Offenbacher is even more excited to connect to his community through the the world

The Tahoe Adventure Film Festival will begin with entertainment, music and fun giveaways. premiere of “Crux,” a film about his past in climbing. In this film that follows his family over the course of two years, viewers will get to experience not only the history of Offenbacher’s solo experience climbing, but how the passion translates over to his family, specifically his daughter. “Sharing climbing and mountain sports with my daughter, it’s a really cool kind of daddydaughter connection,” said Offenbacher. “We see this through risk tolerance and mountain lessons and all that sort of stuff. It’s very interesting.” The longest film of the night comes in at 28 minutes, with many of the films offering a short but impactful look into the adventure-sports world.
Tickets for the event are still available on Bally’s website, but Offenbacher suggests going to the venue ahead of time to pick up tickets at the box office to avoid long lines the day of the event. Offenbacher said the 20th anniversary event is important for the community after a year of tragedy among the South Lake community. “Having been through the last year,” said Offenbacher, “with the evacuation, the Caldor Fire, we’re going to have the Lake Valley [Fire Protection District]. They have an antique fire truck that’s going to be on stage. “We want to definitely recognize all of the first responders who protected our community while also recognizing the

illiam Wiley was a longtime University of California, Davis, art professor, renowned artist, punster and champion of “The Slant Step,” a touchstone of Funk art. His work from the mid-1960s, some made with his student Bruce Nauman, gets a close look in “William T. Wiley and the Slant Step: All on the Line” at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art on campus. The exhibition, running through May 7, gathers for the first time many slant step objects made by both artists and others. Wiley died in early 2021 and the exhibition also serves as a reminder of his influence as a professor at UC Davis, 1963-93. The original “step” is an oddly-shaped stool Wiley purchased in 1965 at a thrift store. He gave it to Nauman (master’s degree, art, ’66), who became one of the most widely respected and influential artists of the last 50 years. Wiley and Nauman, along with many other artists in Northern California and beyond, created art inspired by the step. Wiley’s artistic expression poured out in paintings, found object constructions, sculpture, printmaking, music, performance, theater and film. His art was in the Whitney Biennial and the Venice

installations. Drawn from the renowned Kramlich Collection, the exhibition spans 30 years of new media work, bringing together an international, intergenerational group of contemporary artists — Shiva Ahmadi (UC Davis professor of art), Dara Birnbaum, Kota Ezawa, Theaster Gates, Nalini Malani and Mikhael Subotzky — and exploring ideas of resistance, the role of media in shaping our understanding of events and the power and politics of viewing. Being shown for the first time, Ahmadi’s “Marooned” shows figures hauling large rocks to build a causeway to an abandoned oil tanker with their task hampered by creatures attacking them. The work, which required 5,172 individual paintings, was commissioned by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The soundtrack was composed by Aida Shirazi, who received her doctorate in music composition and theory from UC Davis in 2021.

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.

On February 16, 2022 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on April 23, 2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0026420-00, and that said Deed of Trust was modified by Modification Agreement and recorded July 20, 2011 as Instrument Number 2011-0032966-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by LINDA L. CAMPBELL, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for ASCENT HOME LOANS, INC. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1353 CEDAR OAK ROAD, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $431,222.80 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000002-21-1.
