The 2004 Gateway Hotel project on Smith Flat and Jacquier roads in Placerville was abandoned. Grading and foundation work went in before the development became financially insolvent.

Abandoned Placerville hotel site may see construction Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Barring a few concerns over parking and noise pollution, community members overwhelmingly supported a proposed 106-room hotel development at the Jan. 4 Placerville Planning Commission meeting. The Mackinaw Hotel would be built at 3001 Jacquier Road, at the corner of Smith Flat and Jacquier roads in Placerville — a site where concrete foundations still sit after they were poured for a previously proposed hotel some 18 years ago. Planning commissioners considered a site plan review and variance requests from applicant Apple Hill Hospitality LLC and Eat.Drink.Sleep developer Brett Miller. PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

The 106-room Makinaw Hotel proposed for Placerville would go in as soon as 2023. Variance requests include building height that would exceed by 6 feet 7 inches the allowed 40 feet and an increase of allowed compact parking spaces. Development Services Director Pierre Rivas gave a little history

lesson on the site. Various proposed developments have been approved in the past, including in 1986 a 100-room hotel and restaurant; in 1988 a gas station, mini mart, 104-room hotel and Pea Soup Andersen’s; in 1997 a North Point

Travel Center, gas station and car wash; in 2004 the 102-room Gateway Hotel or Holiday Inn Express; and in 2017 the 102room Hampton Inn and Suites. The Gateway Hotel n

When the state approached Marshall Hospital leadership about becoming a COVID-19 surge facility, CEO Siri Nelson said she felt it was the hospital’s obligation to help support the county, region and state anyway it can. The state will provide the resources for the 111bed hospital to add approximately 45 beds to house regional COVID-19 patients overflowing from other area hospitals. “El Dorado County is our service area but we think it’s important to support health care as much as we can throughout the state,” Nelson said. “When the state comes and says ‘Can you help?’ — we do everything we can to do that.” The state will provide about 60 traveling nurses, who have worked throughout the pandemic to cover those 45 beds, according to Marshall Chief Nursing Officer Cindy Rice. “It could start at any time,” Rice said. “We’re anticipating probably in the next couple of weeks we would be seeing patients.” Finding rooms for the beds is something Nelson, Rice and Executive Director of Facilities and Support Services Takamori Saito have been diligently working on. “We had some natural areas that would lend themself to surging space,” Saito said. “Our goal is making sure the space is safe for patient care.” The hospital won’t fill the 45 beds immediately; instead Marshall staff said they expect to work up to that number over time. Nelson, Rice, Saito and other Marshall officials came up with a plan to add more beds if needed when the pandemic began in 2020. “When the state approached us we basically just took those old plans and said, ‘Is it still relevant and how can we use all the planning work we’ve already done?’” Nelson said. Nelson added that additional staff will provide much needed relief to the Marshall healthcare workers, who have worked tirelessly since the pandemic began. “Our staff is tired,” Nelson said. “We’ve been very busy and we’ve had staff out on either COVID precautions because they’ve been exposed or they’ve tested positive so they need to stay home.”

El Dorado Irrigation District has been awarded a $10 million grant from the California Department of Water Resources to replace an important water conduit called the Sly Park intertie. Authorized by the Budget Act of 2021, the Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Program is one of two DWR drought relief grant programs that offers financial assistance to address drought impacts through implementation of projects with multiple benefits. EID submitted an application for the Sly Park intertie replacement project under Phase 1 of the program in November 2021. Phase 1 selections were released Dec. 23. The Sly Park intertie project was awarded $10 million to help fund the cost of construction. The existing Sly Park intertie consists of threeand-a-half miles of 22-inch and 30-inch steel water line that connects the district’s two largest supply sources and their respective treatment facilities — Project 184 Forebay (supplied from the South Fork American River) and Sly Park Reservoir (Jenkinson Lake). The Sly Park intertie was built under emergency drought conditions in 1978, just after the 1976-77 drought, to alleviate water shortages in Jenkinson Lake, EID’s primary drinking water reservoir. Since its emergency construction in 1978, the unlined pipeline has corroded significantly, resulting in multiple leaks throughout the pipeline that forced the district to take it out of service in 2013. “In the past, the pipeline has played a key role in ensuring water supply delivery to thousands of people when either supply has been partially or completely unavailable as a result of extended droughts, landslides or wildfire,” said EID Director of Engineering Brian Mueller.

Grant to help water supply forecasting El Dorado Water Agency News release The El Dorado Water Agency has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Drought Response Program: Drought Resiliency Projects. EDWA’s proposed project is for an intelligent hydroclimatic information system for water and power management in the American River Basin and was one of 18 projects selected in the western United States. This project will provide critical real-time data and support water supply forecasting needed to help the region better prepare for, identify and respond to drought. The project will upgrade two of 12 sensor clusters with new technology in the existing American River Basin hydrologic observatory wireless sensor network, install a dedicated system to gather and process realtime hydrologic data transmitted from the sensors via satellite and develop an online, publicly accessible water-supply conditions dashboard to display the spatially representative data collected from the sensors. The agency estimates the improved data reporting will increase the forecast reliability and availability of up to 18,000 acre-feet of runoff in a typical water year from the American River Basin. “Reduced snowpack during the recent drought dramatically impacts the availability of downstream water and results in a significant reduction in reservoir storage throughout

What Causes It?

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. What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

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

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

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.

John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

His owner lives in Riverside County and was in Tahoe for work when Russ got scared and ran off from their vehicle. The owner reported Russ missing to El Dorado County Animal Services before searching for his four-legged pal himself. He looked high and low until he was evacuated along with all of South Lake Tahoe as the Caldor Fire grew to more than 200,000 acres. Then on Dec. 16 Tahoe PAWS & TLC 4 Furry Friends Director Wendy Jones saw a Facebook post that a dog was located near Twin Peaks in the snow and unable to move. Twin Peaks is south of Alpine Meadows on Tahoe’s west shore. Skiers had come across Russ growling and El Dorado County Animal Services officer Kyle Shumaker was notified. He tried to get to Russ but couldn’t due to 5 feet of snow and steep terrain. Jones called upon Tahoe PAWS & TLC 4 Furry Friends skilled animal rescue volunteers, who got on their snowshoes and gathered dog rescue equipment and a sled. They trekked up the mountain and finally located Russ under a tree, not moving. Tahoe PAWS & TLC 4 Furry Friends volunteers said they were elated when he opened his eyes. They placed Russ on the sled on top of a

As part of its ongoing commitment to support and collaborate with other organizations for water resource-related planning, EDWA will conduct this project in partnership with the University of California (UC Agriculture and Natural Resources and UC Merced’s Sierra Nevada Research Institute), as well as an active working group of stakeholders, to include the California Department of Water Resources, El Dorado Irrigation District, El Dorado Resource Conservation District, Georgetown Divide Public Utility District, Mountain Counties Water Resources Association, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, CA-NV River Forecasting Center, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Sierra Nevada Conservancy, State Water Resources Control Board and Tahoe National Forest. “This project lays the groundwork needed for our region to better prepare for, evaluate the severity of and respond to future droughts,” said Dr. Roger Bales, distinguished professor of engineering at UC Merced and adjunct professor at UC Berkeley. “The next-generation data provided by the network will be a vital upgrade in predicting runoff and thus water supply, which is of increasing importance to support decision making as water demand increases while temperatures warm and the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada decreases.”

The district was also awarded $750,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding distributed through the county to help fund the cost of design and environmental permitting for the project.

California Commentary

Rewarding failure in the K-12 system

alifornia spends a lot on education. Ever since the passage of Proposition 98 in 1988, which guarantees to education a minimum of 40% of the general fund, perpupil spending on K-12 has risen faster than any other category of Jon Coupal state appropriations. And yet, for all that new money, the state’s education monopoly continues its history of failure to deliver a quality product. Just last month, this column cited the federal government’s National Center for Education Statistics showing that in 2017-2018, the most recent year for which statistics are available, perpupil spending for the state’s K-12 public schools was $13,129 in inflation-adjusted 2019-20 dollars, the highest ever. Measured in the same constant dollars, per-pupil spending was $9,594 in 19992000. California is quickly rising in the ranks in spending according to multiple metrics and we are now at least 17th highest in the United States. And many of these statistics are pre-pandemic, before the state plowed even more money into the system. Where it excels in spending money, California lags in educational outcomes due to a clear hostility to meaningful education reforms. For decades, reformers have unsuccessfully advocated for more school choice, merit pay for teachers, advancement based on merit rather than seniority and the ability to fire bad teachers including some credibly accused of crimes against children. The “reforms” coming out of the uniondominated Legislature will only make matters worse. The latest iteration of this is Senate Bill 830 by Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-La Cañada Flintridge, that would change the way schools are funded. Under current law, schools get financial support based on a formula that includes average daily attendance. This bill would eliminate daily attendance from the formula and with it the financial incentive for school personnel to attempt to get students in the building. This, mind you, comes after the state already froze funding to pre-pandemic levels to paper over historic declines in enrollment across the state these last two years. But according to supporters of SB 830, the current system is unfair because it punishes low-income districts that have higher rates of absenteeism and truancy. It would seem to a rational person that, if a school is having a problem with absenteeism and truancy, it would be better to address those problems directly as opposed to hiding the problems and rewarding those schools with more money for fewer students. As evidenced by the teachers’ unions’ hesitancy to return to the classroom, especially in the Los Angeles Unified School District, it is not a good idea to give teachers’ unions a financial incentive n

Letters to the Editor Reinstate 58 EDITOR: roposition 19 had a little-noticed provision in it that will cause families to have to sell homes and small businesses that parents had hoped to pass on to their children. Prop. 19 repealed Proposition 58, which was placed on the ballot in 1986 by a unanimous vote of the Legislature, then passed with the approval of over 75% of state voters. Prop. 58 protected family properties from reassessment when transferred between parents and children. Without it, property will be reassessed to market value when it is passed to children and the property taxes will be sharply higher. This will force many families to sell properties, including small family businesses, after parents worked so hard for so many years to pay for them. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has filed an initiative to repeal the changes that Prop. 19 made to the intergenerational transfer and restore the law back to the way it was before. To further protect families, the measure adds an adjustment for inflation to the exclusion from reassessment for a limited amount of other property in addition to the primary residence. To get this initiative on the ballot, HJTA needs our help. Find out how at: HJTA.org/ RepealTheDeathTax or contact the Farm Bureau office at (530) 622-7773 to sign or to obtain copies of the petition. BARBARA KILDOW EDC Farm Bureau

What ever happened to empathy? EDITOR: grew up very poor and many times all the food we had was boxed and given to us nine children monthly. I thought what a great country that takes care of its poor. And in the second grade I was taken Christmas shopping by a group of adults who I didn’t know, I assumed it was by the same people who gave us the food but it wasn’t. It was by the business community in Eugene, Ore., that simply wanted to help underprivileged children enjoy Christmas. Over the decades people in our country have

grown accustomed to government handouts. The boxes of food have been replaced with EBT cards and I’m still amazed at just how great this country is. I believe that the 330,000,000 Americans who live here are the luckiest in the world. People on the left say tax the evil 1%-ers and make them pay their fair share. In the world only 1% of the world earns more than $32,000 a year so in all actuality almost everyone in the U.S. is a worldwide 1%-er. I wonder if those who are angry and want to replace our freedom loving free market system with socialism know this fact. I believe in the American Dream an I’m living proof our system is the greatest in the world and anyone can become successful here. It’s not true in China, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and many more places in the world. I wish those who want to destroy our economic system would have some empathy for those who can’t even dream about living here in these United States — the greatest country in the world.

Using surrogates to spread hoaxes EDITOR: awn Irish’s letter represents a new low in the Mountain Democrat’s willingness to push the legal and ethical envelope of dissemination of dangerous lies. The letter, saying that hydroxychloroquine phosphate and Ivermectin are acceptable treatments for COVID, goes over the legal line into “negligent misrepresentation,” a criminal offense. Ms. Irish’s letter is based on a misreading of a report, written by Nebraska’s lieutenant governor, the attorney general and the assistant AG — three professional politicians with no medical expertise — eager to satisfy the governor’s need to pander. The report does not contain validation of Ms. Irish claims. The report relies on vague “papers,” but cites no peer-reviewed studies essential to validate any drug’s effectiveness. On May 19, 2020, two FOX News medical experts called “irresponsible” Trump’s suggestion that those

onterey is one of the favorite places we like to go, especially when it is hot in the summer. Monterey is cooled by an ocean breeze when it is sunny or it is overcast with a coastal fog bank. According to the book Michael of “1000 California Place Names,” the town and county, but particularly the bay, was named in 1602 in honor of the Count of Monterey, then viceroy of New Spain. In 1770 Portola established the presidio in Monterey and the town grew around it. The county was created in 1850. El Dorado County was also established in 1850. Amador County was split off from it in 1854. It also took some of Calaveras County. In 1864 part of Amador County was taken to create Alpine County. Amador County was named after a soldier named Jose Maria Amador from the San Francisco Presidio

who in 1826 settled in Amador Valley (Alameda County). In 1848 he succeeded in mining gold from the creek that bears his name in the vicinity of what in 1851 became Amador City. Jose Amador established a mining camp with the help of some Native Raffety Americans on the creek named after him. As the first person to mine placer gold there the town was named after the soldier who was born in the San Francisco Presidio in 1794 and lived until 1883. He is buried in Gilroy. I used to cover the Amador City Council for a newspaper I worked for in Ione. Amador City is the smallest incorporated city in the state. The City Council really hated having a reporter at its meeting, so I never missed a meeting. They got over it eventually. Gilroy, famous for its Garlic Festival, is named after a Scotch seaman named John Gilroy, who emigrated to California in

Amador City is the smallest incorporated city in the state. The City Council really hated having a reporter at its meeting, so I never missed a meeting. 1819, learned Spanish, became a naturalized Mexican citizen, took up Catholicism and renamed himself Juan Bautista Gilroy. His daughter and son-in-law inherited the largest portion of Rancho San Ysidro that also included the village of San Ysidro. When the village was incorporated in 1868 it was named after John Gilroy. When leaving Monterey, we like to stop in San Juan Bautista (San Benito County). It was named in 1797 for St. John the Baptist. The 1958 movie “Vertigo,” starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, among other, includes a key scene in the belltower of the Mission San Juan Bautista. The current church began construction in 1803 and was completed in 1812. It had suffered from an earthquake in 1800 and again in 1906. The church was rebuilt in 1884 and 1949. To the east the dirt path that is the El Camino

Real is part of the ’06 earthquake escarpment. The 1906 earthquake was centered off the coast of San Francisco and at San Juan Bautista. The steeple was burned in a fire. Alfred Hitchcock photographed around the Mission but constructed a scale model of the steeple in the studio and built the stairs in the studio. In 2009 the priest at the mission salvaged two bells from the original chime destroyed in the earthquake and installed them in a campanario (bell wall). The other big location for the 1906 earthquake is Pt. Reyes. You can see in the park where the ground shifted up 15 feet. I wrote down some of my favorite plants from the garden of Mission San Juan Bautista. One, a snowball flower bush, I was able to plant here

to reduce their workload by rewarding districts with high truancy rates. This is just the latest example of California lawmakers applying a counterproductive solution to a problem, and their reflexive tendency to throw good money after bad. We hope that those educators in well-performing schools where teachers and administrators work with students and parents to incentivize attendance push back against this proposal. Schools should reward success, not failure. Our educational dollars should be funding students, not systems. And, if our public school system can’t fulfill its core mission, educating the next generation of Californians, maybe our education dollars should follow our students to a school that

will — like a charter school or a private school. Keep that in mind as two school-choice initiatives gather signatures in the coming months. Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Confusing communication is an opportunity to sleuth your way to the truth, or something close to it. The story is an argument, and the argument is a story. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are duty-bound, though this is a loyalty of your own making. You decided what was required, and you will fulfill it. An independent mission such as this is the stuff of vitality. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your choices are clear. You can either fall back asleep to dream another dream, or you can get out the pen and paper and start hashing out the original dream. Start with a to-do list. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In a good relationship, there is no such thing as a winner and a loser. If one person is losing, you both are. You have to be on the same team or it won’t work. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not everyone is bound to a civic calendar. You’ll have to work out scheduling, and the ins and outs of school and business will be considered. You’ll find a way to fit in what’s important to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Persistence often wins out. Though tenacity is the hallmark of many successful people, most successful people also know when to back off and let the other person come forward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know how to make yourself useful, but if you make this your default, you’ll

only get, well... used! You’re a person, too. You deserve pleasure as much as anyone. Your No. 1 responsibility is to enjoy yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve been considering a move, and you’ll make it very soon. Get ready. There’s an element of self-discipline involved in the ramp-up. You have it in you. Get in motion and you’ll find it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Decisiveness is attractive. Vacillation makes people nervous. Sometimes you want people to be nervous, but not now. You’ll decide one way or the other and take action; this carries you into a happy mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a passion for understanding. This will not be shared by 90% of the people you know, yet you won’t be lonely in it. Your curiosity is mighty fine company. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe it’s better not to ask people what they meant by something after the fact. So much life goes by every hour. Memory fails. Instead, be very present in the moment of discernment, which is to say now, always now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can pretend to be someone you’d like to be, but who you really are is lovelier to the right crowd. The right crowd should include yourself. Self-acceptance is the supporter of all change.

project brought grading, foundation and road inprovements to the location but was challenged by area residents, leading to a settlement, according to Rivas. The project then became financially insolvent and was abandoned. A development has yet to succeed at the site, which today contains behind a chain-link fence underground utilities, two concrete pads and a temporary detention basin. Vice President of Eat.Drink.Sleep Steve Smith, who presented the project to commissioners, was joined by the hospitality and development company’s president, Brett Miller. Eat.Drink.Sleep is based in San Diego and is looking to expand into Placerville. “It needs to be something that’s great for the community, great for longevity and financial viability,” said Smith. Renderings Smith shared revealed the proposed name of the hotel. “You kind of threw us up here with the name Mackinaw,” said Commissioner John List. “Can you give us the background of that choice?” “Snowshoe Thompson wore a mackinaw wool jacket,” said Miller. “Back in the 1920s and ‘30s mackinaw wool was the nicest, warmest wool jacket you could have.” They plan to have mackinaw blankets at the foot of each bed. Commissioner Michael Frenn asked, “What is your plan for the use of local labor?” “As much as possible,” responded Smith. “We hire local people and train them to be our leaders on the property.” Commissioners raised concern over the parking allowance, increasing compact parking stalls from 20% to 44%. Smith assured commissioners they were willing to do whatever was needed to allow ample room for both full-sized and compact vehicles. Miller spoke to those concerns, reminding commissioners the parking allowance was approved for one of the previous developments. “I have been waiting for this day for almost 22 years,” said Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Laurel Brent-Bumb, citing her tenure at the

chamber. “We hope you support the applicant and the applicant’s requests for variance.” County resident and a developer himself, Leonard Grado extolled the virtues of boutique hotels in the area. Local improvement was on his mind as well. “Upper Broadway needs development of this nature,” he said. “It is literally on the precipice of falling into greater disrepair, if you will.” Placerville resident John Clerici offered clarification on the pronunciation of Jacquier Road ( jake-way) before listing the potential benefits to approving the project. “The project has a potential to reimagine a stay in the foothills,” he said. “Turn what is, by and large, drive-through tourism into a destination.” John Conforti, owner of Smith Flat House and several properties in the area, offered his support to the project. “I really like the consideration these guys have put into this,” he said. Vice Chair Nicole Gotberg clarified that the requested height variance of an additional 6 feet 7 inches remains lower than the adjacent freeway. A motion was worked out to require the developers to bring back a revised site plan as directed by the commission, including the parking lot plan. Commissioner Kristine Kiehne made the motion with Commissioner List making the second. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Amy Lepper reminded the public of the 10-day calendar appeal period. Appeals to the commission’s decision can be made through the Placerville city clerk. The 106-room Mackinaw Hotel, expected to open in late 2023, boasts a rooftop gathering area, 830 square feet of dedicated restaurant space, 3,000 square feet of meeting and event space and an additional 3,000 square feet of multi-use outdoor space. The hotel design is coined mountain modern and will reflect the region’s alpine setting with traditional stone and timber materials that will preserve a sense of place, according to a statement from Miller. “We look forward to creating a welcoming gathering place for both visitors to El Dorado County and locals,” Miller stated.

Quiz a friend or family member with the following statements. If they don’t know the answers, you can use today’s Kid Scoop to be the teacher! All the answers can be found on today’s Kid Scoop page.

4. 1.

The words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to change the world. His words still inspire people today. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. His father was the minister of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, as was his father before him. Because Martin and his father had the same name, the family called him M.L.

When M.L. was young, he played with all the children who lived in his Atlanta neighborhood. But when they reached school age, the white children went to a school for white children only, and M.L. was sent to a school for black children. After the first day of school, M.L. and his white friends were never allowed to play together again. Standards Link: History: Students identify the people honored in commemorative holidays.

=A =D =E =G N

1. Where was Martin Luther King born?

2. From which college did Dr. King receive his Ph.D.?

M.L. was very sad when his friends would no longer play with him. He asked his mother why they couldn’t. She talked about why the family didn’t ride streetcars, why there was a WHITES ONLY sign on the elevator at City Hall, why there were restaurants that refused to serve black people, and theaters that allowed blacks to sit only in the balcony. She said that it was simply because some white people didn’t understand that we all deserve equal treatment.

3. In 1964 Dr. King was awarded an important prize. What was it called?

4. In what year was the Civil Rights Act passed?

1964

M.L. decided right then and there that someday he would try to change the world. He wanted to make it a place where white children and black children could play together and enjoy the same rights.

=O =R =S =U Y

1968

1970

5. What was the name of the famous speech Dr. King gave in Washington D.C.?

Standards Link: History: Students understand the importance of individual action.

As M.L. grew up, he saw more and more examples of segregation. He also saw his father and others speak out against hatred and segregation. These people taught M.L. about the power of words. He learned that words could heal or hurt. “When the history books are written, someone will say there lived black people who had the courage to stand up for their rights.”

ANSWER: 301 Standards Link: Mathematical Reasoning: Students use strategies, skills and concepts in finding solutions.

– Dr. Martin Luther King

6. Give at least one example, recounted in today’s Kid Scoop page, of Martin Luther King’s courage.

7. In what year was Dr. King shot and killed?

1964

Standards Link: Sentence Structure: Students are able to write complete sentences.

Standards Link: Character Education: Students identify character traits in others.

For more than 20 years, Martin Luther King spoke out against _______ and segregation. During these years, he was arrested, had his ______ bombed, and was accused of being “un-American.” In 1963, Dr. King gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C. “I have a dream that one day in Alabama little black boys and black girls will _____ hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and __________.” In 1964, the ______ Rights Act was passed, granting equal rights to black Americans and Dr. King received the Nobel Peace _______. Sadly, just four _______ later, Dr. King was shot and killed in Memphis, Tenn. But his words live on.

prospecting Angel of Tahoe building open soon Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe hosts ribbon cutting

Tahoe Daily Tribune

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — The Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe recently hosted a ribbon cutting for The Angel of Tahoe building, which will be the new home and first permanent location of the club. Major donors, board members, contractors and supporters were invited to share in the momentous event 30 years in the making. Lisa Maloff, The Angel of Tahoe, was unable to attend, but Ricky Reich, who has become known as The Angel of Tahoe’s guardian, was present to represent her and to do the honors in cutting the ribbon. The Jan. 7 event was scaled back in recognition of the recent COVID-19 spike and attendees were asked to remain masked; but it did not take away from the magnitude of the occasion. Speaking first, club President Terri Arnold spoke of Maloff ’s impact on the community, not only donating to the Boys and Girls Club but countless other projects and funds across the community, and how proud the club is to name the building The

Angel of Tahoe building in her honor. Jeff Tillman, who has served for 30 years on the board, thanked the club’s founders Debbie and Kirk Ledbetter, early donors Park Cattle/Edgewood and Lake Tahoe Unified School District for providing the land for the building. So many great people and organizations have come together to make this project happen that it is truly a “community” success, he said. Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe Executive Director Jude Wood thanked Steve Morales and Tom Haen, both of whom led the planning and construction of the building and gave their time and expertise entirely for free. She also remarked on the impact the club will have on the children who use it — raising their selfesteem and self-worth by showing how much the community cares about them. The new building will have a dedicated art room, STEM room, collaborative spaces and activity rooms. There is a dedicated room for 4- to 7-year-olds and a teen center for middle school and high school members.

Women’s Fund scholarship applications available now Amy Pooley Women’s Fund El Dorado Applications are now available for Women’s Fund El Dorado’s Wickline Scholarship. The Wickline Scholarship Fund was established to assist women older than 22 who reside on the Western Slope of El Dorado County and are furthering their careers by pursuing a post-secondary education. Since 2012, WFED has awarded $43,500 Wickline Scholarship dollars, making a difference in the lives of 29 women. The scholarship was established from a legacy gift of the late Marian Wickline, who moved from the Bay Area to Placerville in 1988, where she was an active and engaged participant in the community. Wickline, who graduated from Mills College in 1934, was one of very few women at the time to earn a degree in chemistry. Despite obstacles faced by the women of her time she went on to enjoy a successful career supervising the chemical information department at Dow Chemical in Walnut Creek. Upon her death in 2009 a legacy gift to the El Dorado Community Foundation formed the basis for the scholarship in her name. A challenge grant and additional funding from the foundation resulted in a combined $50,000, enabling WFED to offer the scholarship on an annual basis for generations to come. WFED is honored to celebrate Wickline’s tenacity and strong spirit through her scholarship fund.

Icon of Nevada history returns to home track News release VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. — The most historical, existing icon of Nevada’s past, the 150-year-old Virginia & Truckee Railroad steam locomotive Reno has made its final run full circle, returning home to Virginia City, where it originally ran 1872-1938. The famous engine featured in more than 100 Hollywood films and productions and reputed to be the most photographed locomotive in American history has taken residence on the same tracks where it transported passengers, prospectors and their dreams of riches to the silver strikes of the Comstock Lode. Tom Gray, owner of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, responding to echoes from the Old West and family tradition, secured the famed No. 11 engine for Nevada posterity as the last V&T engine in private hands. He purchased it Aug. 13, 2021, from Old Tucson Studios with plans for a full restoration, then a highly anticipated return to film use along with three historical coaches originally used in the movie classic “Gone With The Wind.” “It’s home again as a premier Nevada historical object — it has outlived everybody and deserves to be recognized,” Gray noted. “It’s as much Nevada as anything we have today.” The engine’s original journey began when it was ordered by the V&T as No. 11 and rolled off the assembly line at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1872, bound for Carson City, Nev. Ulysses S. Grant had

The V&T ordered the ornate American style 4-4-0 engine (wheel arrangement classification) to pull its highly varnished passenger trains between Reno and Virginia City. Upon arrival, she was christened by the V&T as Reno. Proud of their new addition, the crews attentively kept her bright metal work — the brass handrails and domes, polished and the engine spotlessly clean, earning her the nickname “Brass Betsy.” In 1875 she began leading the daily San Francisco-bound Lightning Express train and she plied the line between Reno and Virginia City until 1924 as the centerpiece of the V&T. During that time, Reno was thought to have transported four

periods. In 1945 Reno was sold to MGM Studios, then in 1970 to Old Tucson Studios. A fire there in 1995 ended its useful life as a movie star. The rusting hulk was cosmetically restored for use as a prop, imagined to never run again under its own power — until now. Tom Gray followed his father’s journey along the tracks and shared the same dream to bring the V&T back to life. In 1972, following a successful business career, Robert C. Gray assumed abandoned V&T property in Virginia City. It seems Reno captured his imagination as a young man — it certainly captured his heart as he was a passenger on its final trip to Virginia City in 1938. He ran his first popular steam tourist train on July 2, 1976, and improved the V&TRR the next 50 years, active as president until he was 95, two years before his passing in 2019. Tom acquired Reno the day his father would have turned 100. Led by the Gray’s efforts, along with the Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the V&T Railway, the original 16-mile right-of-way between Carson City and Virginia City was rebuilt and reopened in 2009 for summer weekend rides. Thanks to the movie industry, Reno retains many of its original parts and all the brass. For more information call (775) 8470380 or visit virginiatruckee.com.

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 916-9390772 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-21-893494-NJ. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-21-893494-NJ to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. 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 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the mortgagor, the mortgagee, or the mortgagee’s attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 095266-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 095266-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Our Town" tells the story of a small town at the turn of the century, Grover’s Corners, NH. Narrated by the “Stage Manager,” we follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of Grover’s Corners, through 12 years of life changes — from the mundane in Act I, “Daily Life,” to the romantic in Act II, “Love and Marriage,” to the bittersweet in Act III, //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// “Death and Eternity.” The play was revolutionary when it was �rst produced in 1938, challenging the conventions of realism and theatrical storytelling – this 2022 production will breathe fresh life and fresh revolution into this old Immersive Van Gogh (Off classic, reworking the staging and storytelling to challenge the theatrical conventions of today.
