CEDAC action plan

Education, career creation are essential drivers Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A new year means new focus for the Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee looking to target topics to enhance economic development in El Dorado County. CEDAC’s action plan, its roadmap for addressing different areas of economic development, highlights career creation, education, hemp and housing, among others. The committee brought the plan to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Jan. 11 — its goal to drive emphasis on keeping and attracting young, educated people in the county as they complete their education or trade apprenticeships, while also supporting start-up businesses for all demographics. CEDAC chair Glenn Krakow commented that the committee’s efforts were delayed last year but gave the suggestion to open more communication from the county’s secondary schools and community colleges so the public can realize its options when pursuing education. “When I was with the city of Placerville we had problems finding qualified people for waste management plants,” District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said. “It is helpful to make some headway and make sure the community college programs align with the needs of the county.” Karkow suggested CEDAC gather information on all programs offered at county high schools and community colleges to present to the board so it can analyze what programs are needed relating to job creation. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo brought up changes in the automotive industry such as the shift from gas to electric vehicles, to which District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel noted that South Tahoe High School’s auto shop program has 10 new automotive bays, one of them exclusively for electric cars. “There are a lot of things going on in coming years that we have to get up to speed on,” said Turnboo. “I think that is a great program for the kids.” CEDAC will also continue to support the need for n

March on Main Street n MLK Day events honor Dr. King, focus on voting rights Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was celebrated Monday night in downtown Placerville. A day that marks what would have been the famous Civil Rights activist’s 93rd birthday brought local residents together to talk about voting rights, reflect on King’s message and march from Town Hall down to the Belltower and back, candles in hand. King’s actual birthday is Jan. 15 but the federal holiday is observed the third Monday in January. King’s family also marched Monday in Washington D.C., honoring his life work by demanding action on federal voting rights legislation held up in the U.S. Senate.

improvement strategic plan. Working to find housing solutions with an emphasis on workforce housing, affordable senior housing and low-to moderate-income housing, is another objective in CEDAC’s action plan. Hemp was also part of the action plan. CEDAC members say they will continue to work with the county Agriculture Department to identify potential economic benefits of hemp farming in the county and its potential negative impacts. The county recently put a temporary moratorium on hemp to see if concerns raised, specifically

the county sheriff ’s concerns with security, could be addressed to end the moratorium or to ban it if those concerns could not be addressed. Since the county has taken more responsibility on alternative uses for wood products and energy cogeneration and biomass, CEDAC will take a more monitoring roll in those areas. CEDAC each year develops a countywide economic development plan, preparing economic development activity reports and working with county government for consistency and cost-effectiveness on business regulations.

Placerville kitchen fire takes to attic Eric Jaramishian Staff writer

Fire crews responded to a fire at a home on Forni Road in Placerville the evening of Jan. 15, where flames burned the attic and roof. The fire started as a kitchen fire and spread to the upper level of the home, according to El Dorado County Fire Protection District Division Chief Paul Lohan. Firefighters with El Dorado County Fire Protection District, Cal Fire, Cameron Park Fire Department and Diamond Springs Fire Protection District got the call around 10:30 p.m. No injuries were reported and the resident elected to stay in the first floor of the home despite being offered Red Cross services, according to Lohan. Repairs for the damages are estimated to cost around $100,000, according to Lohan. Fire officials shared footage of

firefight captured with helmet cameras as firefighters worked to put out the blaze. The video depicts fire crews and their interior attack inside the home, tearing through the ceiling, where the flames could be seen burning above the crew and charred debris coming down. While not required, county firefighters sometimes utilize the helmet cameras to capture the interior of a structure fire, El Dorado County Chief Tim Cordero said. The fire district has been utilizing the helmets since 2020 but mostly for training exercises, according to Cordero. “It is very useful to go back and review the footage during training and talk about the lessons learned, what strategies were tried and the results of those efforts,” Cordero said. Watch the helmet cam video captured by an El Dorado County firefighter at tinyurl.com/c2e8txhs.

FTB warns of scams News release SACRAMENTO — With a new tax season underway, the Franchise Tax Board reminds taxpayers to take steps to protect themselves from scam artists seeking to steal refunds and identities. “As a new tax year begins, it is important that taxpayers stay vigilant and be aware of the latest tactics scammers use, so they can avoid falling victim to fraud or identity theft,” said State Controller Betty T. Yee, who chairs the FTB. Scammers often prey on taxpayers by impersonating Internal Revenue Service or FTB employees. The most common fraudrelated complaints FTB sees tend to involve a taxpayer receiving a phone call, letter or email asking for their personal information to either release their refund or process their tax return. While some of these complaints turn out to be based on legitimate requests or calls from the IRS or FTB, taxpayers are encouraged to remain on high alert whenever they receive a request for personal information. If FTB or IRS needs to reach a taxpayer to verify a return or discuss a bill, both agencies begin by sending a letter via postal mail. If the taxpayer does not respond, the FTB or IRS may reach out by phone, with courteous agents clearly identifying themselves. Further, neither agency will threaten a taxpayer nor demand immediate tax payment over the phone. Taxpayers should be suspicious of the following: • Any phone call or email requesting passwords or information about credit cards or bank accounts. FTB and IRS agents never ask for these details. • Threats to contact

local police or other law enforcement if a tax debt is not paid. • Demands for payment via third-party or pre-paid debit cards. • Claims they can settle tax debt for pennies on the dollar. There are legitimate tax professionals that can help you make a valid offer or settlement request. • Ghost preparers: A ghost preparer does not sign a tax return they prepare. They

will print the return and tell the taxpayer to sign and mail it to the IRS or FTB. For e-filed returns, the ghost will prepare but refuse to digitally sign as the paid preparer, which should raise suspicions. Anyone who receives a threatening or fishy phone call is urged to simply hang up. Anyone who receives a letter purporting to be from FTB or the n

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. “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.

Kevin W. Brown, member of the El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees, recently resigned. At a recent Special Board Meeting, the EDUHSD Board of Trustees determined that they would fill this Board vacancy through a provisional appointment. All eligible residents are welcome to apply. To be eligible for this public service position a person must live in the high school district area, be 18 years of age or older, be registered to vote and be willing to meet the substantial time commitment necessary to be a Board Member, a minimum of 30 hours monthly.

California Matters

Should the state provide health care to everyone?

n paper, having one state agency as the exclusive purveyor of health care for 40 million Californians would seem to make sense, replacing dozens of federal, state and private systems and their often bewildering Dan Walters financial and managerial peculiarities. Centralized health care seems to work fairly well in other developed countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, with per capita costs somewhat lower than those in the United States. The notion has been kicking around in California political circles for years and, at one point, the state Senate passed a single-payer bill; it stalled in the Assembly for lack of a financing mechanism. The idea recently resurfaced with the introduction of two measures: One to create the framework for such a system in California and the other to ask voters to levy tens of billions of dollars in new taxes, mostly on affluent The notion of taxpayers and businesses, to pay for it. creating a single“There are countless payer, statestudies that tell us a managed health single-payer healthcare system is the fiscally sound care system thing to do, the smarter for 40 million healthcare policy to follow Californians is and a moral imperative if we care about human life,” on the political said the proposal’s chief agenda again. author, Assemblyman Ash Kalra. “What we’re trying to do is get rid of these dozens of buckets of funding — whether it’s private insurance, whether it’s employer, whether it’s Medi-Cal — put it into one bucket,” the San Jose Democrat added. Kalra has obtained support from a fairly large group of his legislative colleagues and apparently has conceptual backing from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who pledged to work for a single-payer system during his 2018 campaign. “Doing nothing is not inaction,” Kalra said of promises not kept. “It is, in fact, the cruelest of actions while millions suffer under our watch.” The constitutional amendment needing voter support would impose a new excise tax on businesses equal to 2.3% of any annual gross receipts in excess of $2 million, plus a payroll tax of 1.25% of total annual wages on employers with 50 or more workers, another payroll tax on employers tied to workers earning more than $49,900 a year and graduated increases in personal income taxes on affluent taxpayers. Estimates of revenues from the new taxes vary but would, it’s assumed, top $150 billion a year. Sponsors say the taxes would be offset by

Summary

See Walters, page A5

Letters to the Editor Overturn Citizens United EDITOR: leven years ago on Jan. 21, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Citizens United vs. FEC decision, ruled that corporations and other groups had a right to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. This gave the wealthy, corporations and other entities even more influence on our government. The court built on years of precedent. stating that political donations were protected speech and that corporations had constitutional rights by combining the two concepts to allow corporate donations in any amount as long as there was no direct coordination with political campaigns. The court stated that absent coordination and because disclosure laws allow the public to see who is donating, the risk of corruption was minimal. The reality was that this ruling greatly expanded the influence of the wealthy while allowing them to avoid disclosure by donating to nonprofits not required to disclose their donors. It even potentially allowed for influence from foreign countries to be hidden from American voters and enforcement agencies. Fortunately, even absent a Supreme Court willing to overturn itself, there are still ways to address this problem. The most permanent way to overturn this decision is to amend the U.S. Constitution to clearly state that political contributions are not protected speech and the corporations do not have constitutional rights. Not an easy task, to be sure. This would require a two-thirds vote in Congress followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states (or for two-thirds of the state legislatures to propose an amendment followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states). This is a longterm, uphill battle since it requires the support of legislators who have become dependent on their donors to get elected. Shorter-term measures can help even things out while a constitutional amendment is being pushed through. Publicly funded elections would help increase the influence of small donors, especially if we can match their donations with public funds. Disclosure laws that don’t allow secret donations would help voters know who is supporting candidates and ballot measures. Reforming the FEC to allow stronger enforcement of the existing laws would also help. A majority of Americans of all political persuasions support reforms that would rein

in corruption. How can you help? Contact your member of Congress to express support for reform legislation such as House Joint Resolution 48, We the People Act or S.443, The Disclose Act. Make your voice heard. DAWN WOFLSON Cameron Park

Back-up generator tips EDITOR: fter the recent snowstorm and PG&E’s public safety power shutoff disruptions, many in the area may be new owners of back-up generators. With my 32 years of living in Placerville, which included two snowstorms (in 1989 and 2009) similar to what we just experienced, I have suffered extended power outages where I used a back-up generator. Below are some tips based upon my experiences. Although one may run extension cords from the generator into the home, it is best to have a transfer switch installed. In this case, the only power cord needed is the one between the generator and the transfer switch. Additionally, a transfer switch eliminates the chance for your generator to back feed electricity into the local grid. This enhances the safety of line workers. A manual transfer switch is the least expensive option. An alternative, albeit much more expensive option, is to have a permanent installation with an automatic transfer switch. Adding a battery back-up system with an automatic transfer switch totally eliminates power disruptions. Gasoline decomposes over time, generating contaminates. If you have a gasoline-powered generator there are some important steps to avoid having old gasoline foul the fuel lines and carburetor in the generator. When you fill your fuel cans include a fuel preservative in the cans and mark the date the can was filled. Don’t trust it to preserve the fuel for over six months. After this time, pour the gasoline into your car’s fuel tank and refill the fuel cans with new gasoline and a preservative and mark the date filled. If the generator will not be used for a few months, drain the generator fuel tank and carburetor per manufacturer instructions. It is best to then put a pint or so of engineered fuel into the generator fuel tank and run the generator for several minutes. This flushes contaminates from the fuel lines and carburetor. Then drain the remaining engineered

Thinking about more interesting predictions for 2022

onestly, any good new year probably deserves more than just one collection of New Year‘s predictions. Maybe not every month, but one in January and another in six months that can be a recap as well as another look Chris forward. I’ll admit that doing two in a row before the year is even a month old could border on the obsessive — nevertheless here we are. Asteroids seem to be getting a lot more popular. Not just in the movies, but also in the neighborhood. We’re told that the current manifestation is about twice the size of the Empire State Building, which is kind of puny by Earth-killing asteroid standards, I would think. They say it won’t be back for another two centuries. Thus I predict it won’t end life as we know

it in 2022. However, I also just read or heard somewhere that a 5-by-5 kilometer wide fellow is hurtling around out there. I’ll consider that in June. Fair enough? While on the subject of ours and other heavenly bodies, Daley I am more than 51% convinced that researchers will once again proclaim that Earth is flat, flatter than before Columbus. Flatter even than it was before the Greeks and Persians ever gave it a thought. These researchers are tireless in their quest to uncover and quell the damage to humankind and our planet wrought by the Age of Enlightenment and other similar periods. That is, when science looked forward instead of backward like many of our current researchers

It may not be as cataclysmic or as fast as getting hit by a monster asteroid, but rebounding and getting back to normal could take awhile. The newspaper and related print industries should bump along on lifesupport throughout the coming year. After that, all bets are off. “Real Housewives of Lotus” will replace “Real Housewives of Cedar Grove” as the regional favorite at least through the Nielsen Ratings. On the other hand, the “Sweet Sixteen” or Winter Olympics could kick it to the curb earlier than expected. I predict that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Boris Johnson will collaborate on a new start-up venture as “Consultants to the Politically Connected but Shockingly Naive.”

Super Bowl the LVI or whatever — I think it’s time to think about losing the Roman numeral designation for Super Bowls, although a lot of those guys were Flat Earthers too. President Joe Biden will reconsider trying to unite the country and just phone it in from Delaware and ask VP Harris to take a whack at it. Someone or a group of someones may be charged with mayhem and arson for setting fire to a purported witch. That was alleged to have been attempted by a mob in Malawi. Closer to home, I predict that a similar mob will attempt a revival of Salem’s history with “Witches on the Potomac.” Once again, Happy New Year!

SHINGLE SPRINGS — Senior Nick Von Zboray couldn’t miss a shot Tuesday night in the Ponderosa gym as the Bruins improved to 19-0 with a 87-57 win over 13-3 Lincoln. Von Zboray led the way with 40 points and was 10-14 from the 3-point line. “He had ice in his veins,” said 6-foot-9 senior center Aaron Bliss. The 40 points and 10-made 3-pointers were both career highs for Von Zboray but the numbers were hardly an outlier. The senior has made at least five 3-point baskets in eight games this year and is shooting 46% on the season from long distance. The Ponderosa student section — filled to capacity — was hyped as Von Zboray’s shots kept hitting nothing but net.

In the second half Von Zboray received a pass on the 3-point line near the corner with his student section literally right behind him. Swish. Less than 20 seconds later the Bruins forced a turnover and once again found Von Zboray in the exact same spot where he pulled the trigger. Before the ball was even in the net fans cheered deliriously for their senior, who just couldn’t miss a shot. “(We just) kept feeding him and it was really fun to watch,” said senior point guard Casen Chaney. “I can’t imagine what it’s like for the crowd.” Chaney, Von Zboray, Bliss and company, were down 7-0 to start the game but took a 22-16 lead as Chaney scored a basket at the first quarter buzzer. n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). A social courtesy or deadline is causing you a measure of distress. Breathe and get to work. The task isn’t as difficult or as time consuming as it seems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The balancing act is between openness and vigilance. As it is with tightrope walkers, special tools, like the right shoes and a flexible horizontal rod, can help you maintain the equilibrium. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Creativity trumps pricey dining/entertainment every time. You have excellent ideas about how to whip up some inexpensive fun. Now all you need is the courage to follow through. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Take notice of what you feel. It may help to realize that the feeling is physical and lives somewhere in your body. Paying attention to emotions enhances health and puts you in contact with deeper intuition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Quiet is precious. Enough of it pooled in one place becomes an ecosystem to attract things such as tranquility, inner peace and wisdom. Build barriers to ward off intrusions and protect the sanctity of this reserve. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Consider that your selfimposed limits might be far more stringent than any laid out in the rules of the game or by society at large. Does your strictness help matters or are you making things unnecessarily difficult on yourself?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No denying it: It’s easier to have fun around certain people, and those are the ones who usually have people around them. So, in some subtle way you’ll have competition, which keeps things interesting. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll connect with friends. Loved ones will do the same. Since you have different friends, there’s a certain amount of trust extended here, and it’s faith well-invested. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re throwing a form of tantrum right now — a silent, internal and complex rebellion against something you’ve requested of yourself. It’s a chance to work on the parent-child dynamic within. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Think about your desired outcome, write about it and envision it. It’s too early to ask for it now, but in time you will see the path to getting what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Money isn’t all-important, but it will be pretty hard to do the things on your list without it. Avoid judgments and attitudes that distance you from wealth. Be happy for the success of others, knowing yours is coming. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Conforming is appropriate at some stage of the game, but you’re far past it. All that time spent trying to fit in and it turns out you’re magnificent precisely because of the ways you are different from the others.

“That play was kind of what helped our momentum,” said Ponderosa head coach Clark Woods. The Bruins led 34-28 at halftime. “(Coach Woods) told us to focus mainly on our defense and our defense will lead into our offense,” Von Zboray said. The Bruins were practically in defensive stances coming out of the locker room and allowed Lincoln to score just five thirdquarter points. Five steals by Chaney and six blocks by Bliss jump-started the offense, where the Bruins quickly overwhelmed the Fighting Zebras. Von Zboray’s shooting helped open up the Bruins offense too. “When you have a knockdown shooter like Nick it makes it hard for the defense to take away one

thing from us,” Woods said. “You have to guard him tight and then that opens up the lane for Casen to be able to penetrate and it opens up the ability to hit our big man in stride and finish plays.” Chaney drove hard to the basket all night and either found a teammate for one of his 10 assists or kept it himself where he shot eight-of-10 for 18 points. The experienced ball handler didn’t turn over the ball once. Whenever a Lincoln play went into the paint Bliss was there and his long frame forced the Fighting Zebras into bad shots that were either blocked or rebounded by the Bruins center. He finished with 11 rebounds, three of which were offensive and he showed his prowess by throwing down three slam dunks.

Abandoned boat pulled just in time Miranda Jacobson Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — California State Parks and Marine Taxonomic Services have removed an abandoned sailboat and the thousands of pounds of trash on it from Emerald Bay. California State Parks representative Dan Shaw said the boat was reported abandoned in early November and after the owners refused to accept responsibility for it, he knew action would have to come fast. “We had storms coming,” said Shaw. “There was a lot of junk in that boat but we were really concerned it was going to end up getting smashed up to bits and all end up in the lake. Fortunately, we’ve been working with a private contractor, Marine Taxonomic Services … and they really started doing work before the storms in December to remove trash, the fuel tank, and there was paint and other chemicals on the boat.” MTS reportedly removed more than 3,000 pounds of trash from the boat in preparation for December storms. “It takes all of us to protect the lake if we want to enjoy the freedom of recreating on the lake with our boats and also enjoy Lake Tahoe and everything this spectacular lake has to offer us,” said Shaw. “It really just takes all of us to be responsible for our

MTS is a nonprofit that is able to come and remove the boats, whether or not the owners can pay. “It’s a jurisdiction problem and people point fingers at whose responsibility it is to pull these boats,” said Jones. “Tahoe is so pristine. It’s a tragedy every time something like this happens (or) where the boats spew all their oil …” Jones and his crew focus on keeping the lake clean through helping those who may not be able to afford removal. Jones said watercraft owners having issues are encouraged to reach out to MTS. “If somebody can’t (afford the removal) or doesn’t have the means to, we want to fill that niche,” said Jones.

private property and how we recreate on the lake.” Shaw said in most situations people whose boats have perished in the lake will pay to have them removed but sometimes parks staff has to go after those who leave their property behind. They rarely have the time to chase people down but encourage those with boats to be responsible and work out problems rather than abandoning the vehicle. Shaw has worked with MTS’s CEO Seth Jones for more than a decade now.

A pristine mission Jones said while the problem of abandoned boats isn’t as pressing in Lake Tahoe as other places with watercraft, there are still plenty of

mall in scale but visually compelling, the Handweavers Guild of America Inc.’s Small Expressions exhibit features work that speaks to the intricacy of expression, intimacy of design, thoughtful communication and visual excitement. The Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom hosts the West Coast premiere of the nationally traveling 2022 exhibit, Jan. 28 through April 7. This annual, juried exhibition showcases contemporary small-scale works using fiber techniques in any media. The artists in this exhibit create a big impact through small pieces. Works juried into Small Expressions do not exceed 15 inches (38 centimeters) in any direction and are of exhibition quality, completed within the last two years and not previously published. The artists whose works are exhibited skillfully use a variety of textile techniques, incorporating both traditional and nontraditional materials while paying special attention to the limitations involved in creating small-scale works. Artworks consist of diverse fiber techniques such as weaving, interlacing, basket making, bead weaving, embroidery, felting and mixed media. Founded in 1969, the Handweavers Guild of America Inc. is a nonprofit association of fiber artists with the mission to educate, support and inspire the fiber art community. This exhibition was produced by the HGA and all works are courtesy of the artists. This exhibition is made possible with support from the Fiber Trust. The Gallery at 48’s adjacent community gallery will feature the annual exhibit from the Folsom Arts Association titled It’s a Small World. Either small in format or depicting another part of the world, the art in this display will include a variety of media. Both displays will be celebrated at the opening reception, 6-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28. Entrance is free and open to the public with live music and beverages.

Countertenor Terry Barber has performed all over the world. He brings his talents to Georgetown this Sunday.

Terry Barber returns to IOOF Hall News release

usic on the Divide presents the extraordinarily talented vocalist Terry Barber, 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23, at the Georgetown IOOF Hall. Those in the region who may have missed his brilliant concert in 2017 have another opportunity to enjoy the unique vocal range and theatrical artistry of Barber. Barber, one of only perhaps 50 trained, performing countertenors in the world, is known for his extraordinary range both vocally and stylistically. He will tell you that countertenors are men who can sing soprano and mezzo soprano. His reviews portray an artist far more gifted. After performing with the Grammy-winning group Chanticleer, Barber has been a soloist for the best venues around the world over the past 20 years, from the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall to Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall. He has soloed on recordings for every major record label with a variety of artists from Madonna to the London Philharmonic. His programs include selections from musical theater, classical and popular genres and he

performs in more than a dozen different languages. Barber is founder of Artists for a Cause, a nonprofit that since 2009 has supported hundreds of artists as they use their talent for community improvement. As he did during his 2017 visit, Barber will give a performance lecture to Golden Sierra Junior-Senior High School music students Jan. 21 to demonstrate possibilities of the human voice, dialogue about careers in music and inspire. Doors to the hall, 6240 Main St. in Georgetown, will open at 2 p.m. for members of MOTD and the public will be admitted starting at 2:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door: $20/adults, $5/ students and children 5 and younger are free. But, to ensure a seat, people are encouraged to purchase tickets online at Eventbrite.com. In light of current public health protocols, MOTD asks that attendees plan to wear a mask for this indoor event.

5 Reasons to Eat More Tart Cherries

FAMILY FEATURES

f you want to add superfoods to your diet in the new year, Montmorency tart cherries may be perfect for you. Montmorency is the variety of tart cherries grown in America, primarily on small family farms. Compared to sweet cherries that are typically eaten fresh during the summer season, tart cherries are available year-round as dried, frozen, canned, juice and juice concentrate. Decades of scientific research has shown Montmorency tart cherries are deserving of their superfood reputation. Here are five reasons to enjoy them more often: n n n

n n

Sleep: Tart cherries are one of the few food sources of melatonin and have been the focus of multiple sleep studies. Exercise recovery: Tart cherry juice has become a popular exercise recovery drink for athletes. Arthritis and gout: Studies have explored the impact of Montmorency tart cherry juice consumption on gout attacks and arthritis symptoms. Heart health: Montmorency tart cherry research has examined blood pressure and blood lipids. Versatility: Although they remain perfect for pie, tart cherries can easily transition from sweet to savory, adding complex flavors to oatmeal, smoothies, salads, granola bars, trail mix and grain bowls.

Look for dried U.S.-grown tart cherries at the store and online for enjoyment at the start of your day and at night in recipes like Tart Cherry Overnight Oats and Tart Cherry Bedtime Bites. Find more recipes and scientific research at ChooseCherries.com.

A Dark, Colorful Clue The deep red color is your clue to the science-based benefits of Montmorency tart cherries. The vibrant hue is due to the concentration of anthocyanins, a type of polyphenol in the flavonoids family that has been widely studied.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/06/2005 as Document No.: 2005-0054747-00, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by: CHRIS G. BOOCKS, AN UNMARRIED MAN, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 02/02/2022 at 10:00 AM Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3972 ROOSEVELT AVENUE (Unincorporated Area) , CAMINO, CA 95709 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 in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $39,936.18 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or

a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-7453. 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 website. 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 www. nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 94627453, 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287113 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 Website. 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 if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287113 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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. 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.

of the 1990s — the precursor to Americana. The show begins at 7 p.m. at Harlow’s, 2708 J. St. in Sacramento. For tickets visit showclix. com/event/son-volt22.
