Pipers back in court Thomas Frey Staff writer

Lindsay Piper’s attorney Matthew Johnson said they are “working on a resolution” in her case during a prepreliminary hearing Monday in El Dorado County Superior Court.

Lindsay, along with her husband Jordan Piper, pleaded not guilty in November to murder charges in the death of Jordan’s son, 11-year-old Roman Lopez.

Jordan’s attorney Tasha Chalfant made no mention of a resolution for her client.

Roman was living with his father Jordan, stepmother Lindsay and seven other juveniles in a rented house on Coloma Street in Placerville when he went missing in January 2020.

After a search through Placerville, Roman was found dead in the Pipers’ basement.

Roman’s death was investigated for more than a year before the Pipers’ arrest came Feb. 3, 2021, at Arnold Meadowmont Lodge in Arnold. They were arrested on suspicion of child abuse and torture.

Lindsay faces an additional count of poisoning and Jordan an additional charge of failing to provide for a child.

Nine months later murder charges were added after investigators interviewed the other children who lived in the Piper household at the time of Roman’s death.

In the December court appearance where the Pipers gave not-guilty pleas, El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney Jay Linden said the other children were interviewed for the first time since being out of the Pipers’ custody, revealing new information that called for the murder charges.

The Pipers will appear in court again Feb. 28 to continue the pre-preliminary hearing.

Workers lay the new pipe underground along Blair Road.

Underground piping of the El Dorado Irrigation District’s Main Ditch — 12,725 feet of 52-inch pipeline — is expected to be completed by early February, according to a summary provided to the EID Board of Directors Jan. 24.

The pipeline brings water from Forebay Reservoir to Treatment Plant 1 in Pollock Pines, bypassing a dirt ditch contaminated with septic system leach fields.

Forebay Reservoir is the terminal point for the 22-mile system of canals and flumes that brings water diverted from the South Fork of the American River near Kyburz.

The diverted water comes from four alpine reservoirs in three different counties.

Two actions relative to the Main Ditch piping project were approved Jan. 24.

One was declaring an average of 1,800 acre-feet of water saved by the project, enabling a later sale of this saved water.

The second action was to approve a change order replacing 260 feet of 6-inch water line that wasn’t buried deep enough and was broken by the weight of the n

Bill Olsen

June 24, 1939 – Jan. 7, 2022

A true son of Placerville has passed.

On Jan. 7, Bill Olsen passed away in his sleep here in Placerville. Bill lived in Placerville for most of his life.

Born in Santa Rosa on June 24, 1939, he and his family moved to Placerville when Bill was 5 years old. Later in life circumstances forced him to live elsewhere for a bit but Bill was never truly happy unless he was home in Placerville.

Bill was special in a lot of ways. He had a number of health challenges including diabetes. He had a childhood heart condition that was not corrected immediately, he had autism. Whether these conditions caused it or not, Bill did not do well in school and had mental challenges. He was unable to hold a fulltime job. He never married. In spite of these challenges, Bill did not let them hold him down.

For most of his life Bill lived in the same house a short walk from downtown Placerville. He enjoyed so many activities in Placerville. The annual Wagon Train event was always on his agenda. Every Christmas, he rode the stagecoach downtown.

He enjoyed the regular musical events at Powell’s Steamer restaurant. He loved to swim in the City Park Pool every summer. Bill was a regular church goer and went to the Federated Church on Thompson Drive.

Bill was like a walking history lesson of Placerville. He could tell you the history of downtown buildings including which building was on which site decades ago. He pointed out where his grammar school was located, what the teacher taught, and how she ruled with an iron hand. He could recount enjoyable afternoons at the local movie theater.

Births, deaths and important events of family and friends were recounted with accurate dates.

Bill was a musician. He played the organ. He would recount how his mother took him to the Crocker Museum in Sacramento and he was allowed to play the piano on display there. He enjoyed playing the organ daily from songs he had memorized. “Lola” was a favorite of his.

Bill practiced Karate well into his 70s. Up until just a few years ago he could be seen at classes at Newman’s karate. Even up until the week he died he went to The Lord’s Gym to use the treadmill and shoot baskets.

Bill’s consistent message on my phone was that he “just wanted to say Hi, Hello and How are you?” Oh the stories. He loved his animals, his cat of many years, his dear dogs, the latest one Frankie.

My enduring remembrance of Bill is that he was a good friend. He helped out his fellows in need.

He treated people with respect. And though he had many trials in life, he always kept moving forward, getting back up and remaining steadfast and hopeful. He will be missed.

He is survived by his sister, Karen Olsen Bruhns of Berkeley.

Marilyn Haven

Aug. 10, 1933 – Jan. 7, 2022

Marilyn “Lynn” Joyce Haven, longtime area resident, died Jan. 7, in Rancho Cordova, surrounded by loving family. She was 88.

Born Aug. 10, 1933 in Deadwood, S.D., Lynn was the youngest of four children of Edith and Hugh James. During World War II, the family came west to California to own a car sales business in Pasadena, and later founded James’ Motors in North Sacramento where they had the first Volkswagen dealership in California. Lynn’s mother Edith was one of the first women to work in the Mare Island Shipyard as one of the famous “Rosie the Riveter” female laborers of World War II. Lynn graduated from San Juan High School in 1951 and attended two years of college, majoring in parks and recreation management. She met her future husband, Delden “Del” Haven, while still in high school and was best friends with Del’s sister, Faye.

They wed on Sept. 19, 1953 in Sacramento and were married for 69 years.

The young couple lived in San Pedro and Carmichael but found a lifetime home when they moved to El Dorado Hills in 1964, where they had purchased the 76 Union gas station. The Havens would be active in community life for the next half century.

While Del immersed himself in business activities, Lynn found her calling as a homemaker, mother, church leader, counselor and world traveler. She was active in the PTA and other community organizations which served her growing children. She led and participated in multiple women’s Bible studies throughout her long life. Lynn served for many years as the Dean of Students for Trinity School of the Bible (now Epic College), co-founded Alabaster Box Ministries through which she continued to lead Bible studies and provide counseling, attained a Stephen Ministry credential, attended Oral Roberts University and even led a Bible study at the California State Capitol for workers there.

She and her husband embarked on a trio of mission trips and other world travel which took them to the United Kingdom, on African safari in Kenya and a stroll on the Great Wall of China. One memorable trip was a family excursion through Israel, Italy and England which resulted in seeding a curiosity of travel to their children. On a mission trip with Light of the Hills Church in Cameron Park, the Havens traveled to Russia to teach English to high school students and two more mission trips to the small village of Kabimoi, Kenya followed. Their wanderlust extended to adventures across the United States, exploring the back roads of New England, the bright lights of New York City and the tranquility of Mammoth Lake. Together, the Havens discovered a small town in northern Florida called “Lynn Haven” among other travel quests.

Family members recalled Lynn’s love of Scottish Terriers (she had one growing up, and she and Del had four beloved Scotties during their marriage) her little red sports car with manual transmission which she drove until she was 85, her excitement to always be “on the go” and her love of a trip to Starbucks with family or friends.

At the center of it all was her family and she happily welcomed the growing number of grand- and greatgrandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, who died April 16, 2021.

Lynn is survived by two sons Curt Haven (Marjorie) of Gold River and Brad Haven (Teri) of Merced; daughter Mickey Haven-Porter (Paul Porter) of Bodega Bay; nine grandchildren Alicia Evangelista, Andrea Haven, Matthew Haven, Robyn Kopp, Derek Kopp, BJ Haven, Jed Haven, Sunshine Haven and Abraham Haven; and eight great-grandchildren, Kaleb Evangelista, Elias Arthur, Joslynn Arthur, Davis Haven, Romy Haven, Winston Haven, Roman Haven, Callen Haven and Charlie Haven.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12 at Light of the Hills Lutheran Church, 2100 Rodeo Road, Cameron Park.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League/LWML, Light of the Hills Lutheran Church, 2100 Rodeo Road., Cameron Park.

Denise Hope McLemore

Sept. 12, 1947 – Jan. 19, 2022

Denise Hope McLemore, age 74, passed away at home in El Dorado, Calif., on Jan. 19, after a hard fought five-year battle with cancer.

Denise was born in Bakersfield, Calif., in September 1947 to parents Leah and Alex Castro, with an older brother Dennis. Denise graduated from Bakersfield High School in 1965 and married sweetheart John McLemore of Bakersfield in 1969. Tragically, John died in Vietnam in 1971 leaving Denise widowed at a young age.

The ever-resolute Denise entered California State University, Fresno and received her bachelor of arts degree, fostering an interest in archeology. She was hired by the U.S. Forest Service, beginning a long career as an archeologist, first with the Sierra National Forest as a seasonal archeologist then the ShastaTrinity National Forest while also attending graduate classes in anthropology at California State University, Chico. Recognizing her intelligence and administrative capabilities, in 1980 she was offered a position as Forest Service managing archeologist on the Eldorado National Forest, headquartered in Placerville. Denise was the first female to serve in such a position in California, paving the way for many more women National Forest archeologists. She served on the forest in that position for 26 years and became a prominent archeological administrator who was sought by state and even nationwide Forest Service managers for her counsel based on her innovative and aggressive defense of cultural resources in the face of damaging land uses.

While working full-time with the Forest Service, Denise attended night school at McGeorge School of law passing the California bar exam on the first attempt. Eventually she came to serve as the Forest Archeologist for not only the Eldorado National Forest but also the Tahoe National Forest during the final several years of her career. Denise retired from the Forest Service in 2006. Her leadership and contributions to both forests and to California Region 5 during her illustrious career were significant particularly within the Heritage and Tribal Program areas, as well as helping to facilitate important vegetation/fuels reduction and preservation planning programs. Her leadership set the groundwork for much of what the Forest Service continues to do today.

During her retirement Denise developed a keen interest in regional California wines, working at Oakstone Winery in El Dorado County and in the last few years she conducted volunteer work with the Sierra Foothills Assistance League of California, an all-volunteer organization that transforms the lives of children and adults in El Dorado County through its community programs.

She loved to travel and she visited far flung places such as Mexico, China, France, Italy, Turkey, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

Denise was a master at decorating for the holidays (all holidays) and her flower garden and deck plants were a wonder to behold. She dearly loved her big old Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain dogs (Jean Luc, Homer and Jethro, who far outweighed her). She hosted magnificent parties (back when we could do those safely). She lived life to the fullest with consummate elegance and rarely matched style, grace and humor. She was a beloved friend to many.

While her immediate family has passed away, she is survived by Robert Jackson and her life partner of 25 years; her close cousin Suzanne Murray; nephews John and Brian Castro and many cousins and their families.

She will be sorely missed by all she touched.

A memorial and celebration of life gathering will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, she would appreciate a donation to one of the following charities: St. Jude’s Research Hospital (stjude.org/donate).

Sierra Foothills Assistance League (assistanceleague. org/sierra-foothills/donate).

Southern Poverty Law Center (donate.splcenter.org/).

Phyllis Anita Neidigh (Wardlaw) Sept. 28, 1932 – Dec. 9, 2021

Phyllis Anita Neidigh (Wardlaw) 89, one of the world’s BEST mother’s and grandmothers passed away with her family by her side at Marshall Hospital in Placerville Dec. 9, 2021.

Phyllis was born on Sept. 28, 1932 in Alexander, Kan., to Chester and Edith Wardlaw. She is survived by her son Dan Sherman of Georgetown, Calif., three step-children, eight grandchildren, five stepgrandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and four step great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her second husband Warren Neidigh, her daughter Susan Williams and granddaughter Kristen Rodriguez (Williams). She was deeply loved by her family and immensely cherished by her grandchildren. She taught us the importance of family and unconditional love not only by her words but her actions as well.

We know the heavens are rejoicing in her return but those of us who loved her on Earth are devastated and our world will never remain the same. Rest in peace, Grandma. We will always love you!

FAIR Plan to cover farms

Lenehan honored

The Silva Valley Road overpass in El Dorado Hills, above, is lined with first responders and others who came out to show their support as the procession for Elk Grove police officer Tyler Lenehan, bottom left, traveled up Highway 50 Tuesday morning on its way to Green Valley Mortuary and Cemetery in Rescue, bottom right. The procession began in Elk Grove, where Lenehan worked as a motor officer and ended in El Dorado County, where he and his wife Jessica and children Austin and Sydney lived. Lenehan, an Air Force veteran who previously worked for the Citrus Heights and Galt police departments, was killed Friday by a wrong-way driver on Highway 99 while riding his motorcycle to work.

Body found in Tahoe meadow Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — South Lake Tahoe police responded to the report of a body found in a meadow behind U.S. Bank Jan. 22 around 9:27 a.m. A wildlife photographer who was in the meadow taking photos reportedly discovered the remains and contacted police.

Upon arrival officers located a human body in the snow. Detectives say the body appeared to have been buried in the late December snowstorms and

The identity, age and sex of the decedent is unknown, according to police, who noted that foul play is not suspected at this time. A forensic autopsy will be conducted to determine the identity and cause of death.

Anyone with information that could aid in the investigation is asked to contact Det. Allen Molesworth with the South Lake Tahoe Police Department at (530) 542-6138.

SACRAMENTO — To address the growing need for a competitive insurance market for farm owners, wineries, ranchers and other outdoor agricultural businesses, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara last week approved the FAIR Plan to offer new commercial coverage for farm structure risks starting Feb. 1.

The FAIR Plan is an association made up of all admitted insurance companies to be the state’s property “insurer of last resort.”

Senate Bill 11 helps lawmakers address challenges in getting insurance coverage, according to Lara.

“The Department of Insurance is changing how the FAIR Plan operates as part of a broader solution to help protect these businesses, especially those vulnerable to climate-intensified wildfires,” Lara said.

Following the signing of SB 11, the State Legislature and the California Department of Insurance have urged the FAIR Plan to act as promptly as possible. Not wanting to add to the FAIR Plan’s delays, the department in its approval letter noted additional commercial coverage issues overall that the FAIR Plan must resolve at a later date as the FAIR Plan’s entire commercial property insurance program is reviewed in the months ahead to ensure it truly “takes all comers.”

California’s farmers, ranchers, and vintners, among other agricultural businesses, live and work in more rural, outlying areas that may be especially vulnerable to wildfires. This makes having more and better options for insurance coverage critical to these businesses’ ability to operate and thrive in their communities.

Department of Insurance data shows some agricultural businesses have been left without coverage by insurance companies.

“This approval means California’s FAIR Plan can do its job and add much-needed protection for those farmers and ranchers that have found their insurance policies canceled or non-renewed. Given the current wildfire challenges facing California, our agricultural community is fearful of what may happen this year without this additional coverage,” said Jamie Johansson, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation.

Equalization, as well as an associate accounting degree from American River College.

Before joining the Assessor’s Office Yandow served in the private sector in accounting and business administration roles. She is also a former real estate licensee.

Yandow said she thinks it is this combination of experience and education that allows her to not only provide knowledgeable public service and accurate assessments but also lead the department in a fiscally responsible and efficient manner in the face of current and future challenges.

Yandow is a proponent of Proposition 13’s landmark protections for taxpayers. She also points out that property tax laws are complex and constantly changing.

“My experience allows me to offer comprehensive information so property owners can make informed decisions and maximize their property tax benefits,” Yandow said. “I will also ensure accurate property tax administration so schools, fire departments, cities and other

agencies that rely on property taxes to provide services to residents in El Dorado County will benefit.”

Yandow has the support and endorsement of retiring Assessor Karl Weiland.

“The assessor’s first priority is to serve the public,” said Weiland. “It was for assessors before me and still is today. I know it will also be for Danielle and that is why she is the best choice to be the next El Dorado County assessor. Please join me in electing her.”

Former Assessor Tim Holcomb has also endorsed Yandow, according to a news release.

Danielle married her husband Russ Yandow in 2004 and they moved to Pollock Pines in 2005.

In her spare time she enjoys beading, gardening, traveling and camping.

For more information on Danielle’s election campaign visit yandowforassessor.com.

Danielle is challenged by Rescue resident and El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office Chief Fiscal Officer Jon DeVille. Voters will decide June 7 in the primary election.

Total change orders for the $11 million project are now $284,990, about 2.6% of the contract price. The contingency fund was $2 million.

Paving of Blair Road will take place in the spring.

The area over the pipeline will be repaved and the rest of Blair Road will receive an overlay.

“We should get the county to say, thank you,” said Director Pat Dwyer.

General Manager Jim Abercrombie complimented the work of the project engineer, Kailee Delongchamp.

“Kailee did a great job managing the project,” Abercrombie said.

The remaining things to complete are three air release valves, two blow-offs, inlet vault piping and structure, cathodic protection test stations, raw water service lines, programming, pipe testing and final paving.

The construction contract was approved by the board Aug. 24, 2020. Construction began in June 2021.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

DENTAL IMPLANTS: A SOLUTION FOR MISSING TEETH Missing teeth affect speech, chewing, and the integrity of the jaw. They also cause slow shifting of teeth into the empty spaces.

Restoration with dental implants is today’s most common solution, whether for one or multiple teeth.

Implant replacements are reliable and look and feel like real teeth.

When properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime. The somewhat lengthy implant process begins with replacement of the tooth’s root with metal screws that act as anchors for the artificial teeth to come. Once the screws are placed and the implant is given time to heal, the implant becomes securely fused to the jawbone. When completely healed, a dental crown is

placed on top of the implant and secured.

Our philosophy is not only to treat dental needs, but more importantly, to educate our patients on all aspects of their oral health and care. To this end, our mission is to provide open and free communication and the highest standard of care in an environment of health, mutual understanding, and respect. We offer complete general dental care for the healthiest, sunniest smiles possible. Call us for an appointment.

P.S. The earliest versions of dental implants were carved bamboo pegs used in ancient Chinese civilization circa 2000 BC.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

California Matters

California politicos now talking tough on crime

I

t is amusing — and a little pathetic — to see California’s liberal politicians slide to the right in response to an upsurge in crime.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is leading the unsubtle rhetorical shift from criminal justice reform —i.e. reducing Dan Walters punishment for those who transgress — to demanding crackdowns on criminals.

A week before Christmas, with retail stores seeing a wave of smash-and-grab robberies and cities reeling from record levels of homicide, Newsom unveiled what he called a “Real Public Safety Plan” that “focuses on new investments that will bolster local law enforcement response, ensure prosecutors hold perpetrators accountable and get guns and drugs off our streets.”

“Through robust new investments and ongoing coordination with local agencies, this plan will bolster our prevention, deterrence and enforcement efforts to aggressively curb crime, hold bad actors to account and protect Californians from the devastating gun violence epidemic,” Newsom, said.

Newsom sounded California’s more like one of those Republican lock-’em-up liberal politicians governors of the past, such are talking tough as George Deukmejian on criminals as or Pete Wilson, than a governor who has the state sees blocked executions of an upsurge murderers, closed prisons in robberies, and otherwise backed the criminal justice reform homicides and agenda. other crimes.

Newsom is not the only born-again crimefighter, however.

A few days before his announcement, San Francisco Mayor London Breed did a two-step of her own.

Clearly worried that the wave of store invasion robberies would discourage tourists and Christmas shoppers, Breed pledged to end “the reign of criminals who are destroying our city” by becoming “less tolerant” of what she called “bullsh*t.” Breed also declared a state of emergency in the city’s Tenderloin district due to surging street crime.

A similar change of attitude about crime is evident across San Francisco Bay in Oakland, which had embraced the “defund police” movement in response to the 2020 death of George Floyd with a Minneapolis policeman’s knee on his neck.

Letters to the Editor Great job, Mountain Democrat EDITOR: o the staff, I hope you realize what a contribution you’re making to the community. If not for articles like the one Jan. 5, some of us would wonder why the fuel company would not take or even record calls from customers needing fuel. We did not have a problem with banks of snow and some of our neighbors were able to drive on the first day (very carefully).

As for electricity, we have a relative with dementia in one of those hospital beds that requires electricity but we were only without it for a day and managed fine.

Our hearts break for those who went without power for days and days.

The article on the Caldor Fire that you did with Davis was outstanding.

So, thank you for the excellence of your work.

Nobody does it better.

CONNIE ROSEN Pollock Pines Editor’s note: A part of the 530 area code is among nine California area codes recently requiring that phone calls be dialed with all 10 digits. The change will make way for a quick way to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline with just three digits — 988.

What is happening?

EDITOR:

W

e are now living in a country that is fast becoming a socialist dictatorship. Let me explain.

I am not vaccinated and have had COVID and tested positive for it last year in April 2021. I was barely sick for four days, with a slight runny nose

and some body aches and without any of the other symptoms (fever, coughing, loss of taste or smell).

My husband (we live in the same house) did not even catch it from me. His test showed no prior exposure to COVID. This last week I had the blood antigen test done and it showed that I do indeed have my own antibodies for this virus, almost nine months after the infection.

That sounds better than the touted vaccine, which needs booster shots after six months. This tells me that I am actually safer to be around than vaccinated people, having my own immunity and not spreading it to others.

Now all this may sound like misinformation to some; however, let me remind everyone about all the false guidance and promises that we had been receiving from our so called “scientist” bureaucrats.

How much of this is science and how much of this is to keep us fearful and under control so we obey?

My grandparents, who have long passed away, lived through two communist revolutions. My grandmother was (a refugee) from Soviet Russia in 1921 and again from communist China in 1950. She lived in these countries during the collapses of both governments.

Who is actually running our country right now?

Does anyone know? This beloved country of ours, that we love and cherish, is being transformed into a “socialist dictatorship” before our very eyes. Please, wake up, America, before it’s too late. Don’t let this happen.

What if?

EDITOR: ’m amazed at the frailty of the fabric of our nation and how if the American people had voted a different way we’d be a completely different society.

For instance, what if McClellan had beaten Lincoln?

Would we have had a Civil War? And, if so, what if the Democrats had won that war? Would we still have slavery in our society?

The bottom line is a country with a future is a country that values and respects the sanctity of life. the contrary, regarding our core social institutions, everything is uniformly worse.

The American family is in far worse shape today than in 1973.

According to the Census Bureau, in 1968, 85.4% of American children lived with two parents. By 2020, this was down to 70.4%.

Fewer and fewer of our young people are interested in marriage and children.

In 1970, per the Census Bureau, the median age at first marriage for men was almost 24 and for women a little older than 20. By 2021, for men this reached almost 31 and for women almost 29.

Fertility rates have dropped dramatically. The fertility rate — the average number of children that a woman brings during her productive years — must be 2.1 to keep a population from shrinking. In 1970 our fertility rate was 2.54. By 2020 it was down to 1.78.

The overall implications are an aging society. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, in 1970, 10.1% of Americans were older than

65. Today, almost 17% are 65-plus.

An increasing burden of caring for the elderly falls each year on a shrinking number of working Americans. Per the Kaiser Family Foundation, those older than 65, now 17% of the population, account for more than 35% of our healthcare expenditures.

How can anyone not see all this as flashing danger signs to our national future?

The bottom line is a country with a future is a country that values and respects the sanctity of life.

With all the supposed concerns of woke culture, the truth is that respect between people — whether between races and ethnicities or between men and women — begins with respect for the sanctity of life.

Let us all pray, as we begin a new year, that this will be the last year that pro-lifers need to march in Washington to protest the Roe v.

Wade regime.

Libby Schaaf, voted to hire more police officers as the city tallied 134 homicides in 2021, the most in nearly two decades. Perennially, Oakland has one of the nation’s highest homicide rates Schaaf applauded the vote, saying that residents “spoke up for a comprehensive approach to public safety — one that includes prevention, intervention and addressing crime’s root causes, as well as an adequately staffed police department.”

The mayor of San Jose joined the anti-crime chorus after a local judge allowed two people charged with homicide to go free while awaiting trial — citing more lenient bail reform rules.

“I appreciate the purpose of bail reform,” Mayor Sam Liccardo said, “but releasing a homicide suspect without bail is outrageous. The pendulum has swung too far and it’s our neighborhoods that endure the most crime that suffer as a result.”

The tough-on-crime rhetoric from these and other prominent politicians clearly reflects their concerns not only about the surge in crime but a surge of

public anger about it and the possibility of a political backlash.

Although Newsom’s re-election this year is not likely to be affected, there will be tests for other politicians, including Attorney General Rob Bonta, who was appointed by Newsom and will be seeking a full term.

Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, who gained fame for prosecuting serial killer Joseph James DeAngelo, is challenging Bonta by tying him to criminal justice reforms she says have gone too far.

Bonta is allied politically and ideologically with the district attorneys of Los Angeles and San Francisco, George Gascón and Chesa Boudin, both of whom face potential recalls for adopting more lenient policies on prosecuting criminals.

Crime could be the sleeper issue of the year.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you understand intellectually that it’s wrong to base your selfworth on someone else’s opinion, you’ll still find yourself working for a certain person’s approval and being elated when you get it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While it may be impossible to will yourself to take pleasure in an experience, it is very possible to direct your thought process toward being open to any pleasure that is there for you to experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Time is a most precious resource not to be wasted in ill-matched scenarios. You’ll move cautiously in relationship matters.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel animated, vibrant, ready to take up space and share all the friendly energy bottled up inside you. Interesting developments are in store for your social life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Enjoy the haze of fuzzy knowledge while it lasts because you’re about to know a lot more. New information will either inspire you to like a thing a lot more or not at all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Perfection doesn’t need perfecting, mostly because it doesn’t exist. Things that are pretty darned good don’t need perfecting either, as you’re better off taking the win and moving forward to the next thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Does someone think about you as often and with as much affection as you think about them? The balance of even the most reciprocal love is always changing as the pendulum of attention swings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Successful conversations will be the start of your good luck. The right subject is key. Focus on topics people like to talk about and can relate to for all the good feelings they kindle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love isn’t in some distant galaxy; it’s right in your own swirl, waiting to be embraced. You have everything you need to unlock the next level of a relationship if it’s what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The routine gets old.

Common things become so familiar they blend into the fabric of the day, losing their power to ignite the senses. A change-up is in order. Don’t wait for it to happen; make it happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You handle things. If it needs doing, you do it. But if you do too much for others, you could accidentally reward laziness and promote further inaction. Whatever you take on now, you’ll have to keep taking on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you finish early, keep working. Later, when the unexpected happens, instead of being stressed you’ll feel you have options and opportunities. You’ll be glad you got ahead of things when you had the chance.

warm months caching (hiding) food throughout the landscape. When insects and seeds become scarce in the winter, they rely on consuming their pre-frost stashes to maintain their energy to stay active and withstand the cold.

Similar to the birds, if an American beaver had one piece of advice on how to survive winter, it might be that preparation is key. Busy beavers, as one might say, spend their spring, summer and fall building their lodges and dams, felling trees for food and structure and creating entrance paths to their homes to protect themselves from predators.

These preparations allow beavers to stay active year-round, retreating to their dens for safety, food and a cozy place to wait out the winter chill. Beavers have a multitude of adaptations for their aquatic lifestyle, such as webbed feet and a third clear eyelid that acts like goggles underwater, and putting on a very thick and waterproof pelt in the chilly months.

Beavers have coarse, waterproof hairs that bond together like a zipper to keep water from chilling their skin. Additionally, they produce oil from castor glands, which they rub throughout their pelt as a waterproofing agent to keep them dry, warm and productive all year.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that rely on their pelts to survive. Five Tahoe animals not only rely on the warmth and insulation of their feathers and fur, but also their ever-changing appearance. The long-tailed weasel, short-tailed weasel, snowshoe hare, white-tailed jackrabbit, and the white-tailed ptarmigan (a glorified snow chicken) are the fabulous five that transition from earth tone colors in the non-snowy months to white in the winter.

This transformation is triggered by photoperiod

As humans we have the luxury to heat our homes, put on a warm hat or blow our driveways to combat the relentless, frigid winters. Other animals, however, do not.

This begs the question, how do they survive such brutal temperatures and conditions? Some animals, like the Belding’s ground squirrel may avoid the frost entirely by hibernating up to nine months of the year.

On the other hand, other fauna aren’t strictly “true Tahoe locals” and instead migrate to other locations that provide easier living through the winter months.

These aforementioned strategies are no easy task and require preparation and specialized adaptations, yet, not all critters avoid or sleep through harsh temps. There is a select group that takes the winter head-on, utilizing their individualized methods of toleration to stay active and survive frosty alpine conditions.

Tahoe hosts more than 320 recorded bird species that either live in, travel to or pass through the region, but only about 20% of those will stay yearround.

Some permanent residents include woodpeckers, nuthatches, ravens, Steller’s jays and Tahoe’s favorite, the mountain chickadee. Like other birds that stick around, the mountain chickadee is able to do so because they have the ability to find food in the freezing months.

These small birds can be found feeding in the icy trees, searching for frozen insects in bark and pine needles. Additionally, chickadees and other birds like Steller’s jays and Clark’s nutcracker spend the

— the number of sunlight hours in a day.

As sunlight hours become fewer, the shorter photoperiod prompts hormonal changes that cause these animals to molt their fur and feathers.

These new coats of fur and feathers grow in white as a result of the slowed production of melanin (pigment), creating a perfect camouflage in the snow.

Temperature fluctuation or even snowfall has little effect on this process, so in years when Tahoe does not receive the normal snowpack anticipated on our mountaintops, these animals will change color anyways and can stick out like a sore thumb.

Lastly, one Tahoe species that has proven to be incredibly adaptable to both winter environments and a wide range of habitats are coyotes. These canines spend the months of winter scarcity searching for prey in the subnivean zone; a hollow area between soil and snow that remains a steady 32 degrees fahrenheit, serving as a protective refuge for active small mammals.

Their excellent canine sense of hearing allows them to listen for movement from voles, mice, weasels and other prey scurrying underfoot.

Without ever sighting the object of their hunt, coyotes dive headfirst into the snow to catch their food, allowing them to consume calories yearround. Although coyotes don’t have many predators to hide from, their thick fur helps them stay warm, just like the beaver, weasels and hares.

To learn more about Tahoe’s natural history, join the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science for one of its many nature tours. All tours are free and open to nature enthusiasts of all experience levels. To learn more visit tinsweb.org.

Out of the Ashes pairs wine, food and philanthropy News release

T

he West Slope Foundation, along with wineries from Fair Play, and Creekside Cork and Brew host the Out of the Ashes Wine and Appetizer Pairing Fundraiser in Somerset Saturday, Feb. 5.

This event will have more than 15 local wineries pouring wines paired with appetizers and small bites prepared by Frank and Casey of Creekside Cork and Brew. This fundraising event will also feature live music, silent auction, live auction and more — with funds assisting Caldor Fire victims.

“For people who want an authentic wine and food experience where proceeds serve the West Slope Caldor Fire victims’ immediate and long-term needs, you

won’t want to miss this fantastic event,” said Scot Telfer, executive director of the West Slope Foundation.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is still a concern, Telfer added, “It’s time to get back to our lives and enjoy each other’s company. Of course, according to local and state guidelines, masks are recommended for this event.”

Out of the Ashes takes place 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5, in the barrel room at Skinner Vineyards and Winery, 8054 Fairplay Road in Somerset. Order tickets for this fundraiser on West Slope Foundation’s Facebook page or email westslopefoundation. events@gmail.com. Tickets will not be available at the door.

Although promised by President Joe Biden, Caldor Fire victims have been denied FEMA Individual Funding.

“We, along with many other organizations and agencies, are

currently trying to fill the void that FEMA did not come through with. Unfortunately, because of FEMA’s dismissals, West Slope Foundation, along with other organizations throughout El Dorado County, are trying to make up for that deficit ... we were counting on,” said Jennifer McKim-Hibbard, outreach director of the West Slope Foundation. “All fundraisers at this point are here to serve the community and their needs during the rebuild process. We understand that the Caldor Fire victims are frustrated, which is we need everyone’s help to provide the needed assistance to the fire victims.”

The West Slope Foundation is an entity of the Fairplay Aukum Community Hall Association and was formed to meet current and long-term needs of Caldor Fire victims of Grizzly Flat and surrounding communities.

prospecting El Dorado Hills CSD hosts event for jobseekers Sel Richard staff writer Looking to land your first job? Savvy seekers can get a leg up by attending a Job Skills Workshop hosted by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District, 6-8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31.

The free event, geared toward teens and young adults, offers information on how to make contacts, prepare for an interview and increase your chances of getting hired.

“We’re really hoping to bring out high school and college youth for possibly their first job or one of their first jobs as they’re looking to get in the workforce,” said CSD Recreation Superintendent Sandra Montgomery. “Giving them skills that they can take to any workplace, whether they decide to work for us or anywhere else.”

The workshop doubles as an opportunity for the CSD to recruit for its own multiple job openings. Each booth will be manned by recreation staff ready to instruct on the specific program areas, available jobs and skill and training requirements.

“A lot of teens don’t know that we hire as young as 15 years old,” noted Montgomery. “We hire for our summer jobs starting in January.”

Volunteer positions are available for participants

El Dorado Hills Community Services District staff members get to work a variety of programs and events. younger than 15 or those looking to add to their résumé and contribute to community programs.

One valuable feature of the workshop includes the application corner where CSD human resources staff will walk jobseekers through filling out applications as

well as impart helpful tips.

“Sometimes applications [we get] are completely blank because individuals don’t think that they have experience when they do,” explained Montgomery.

“HR staff will remind them about leadership experience in school, babysitting jobs,

mowed lawns, leadership in sports, working with kids or leading peers.”

In addition, participants can opt to sign up for a mock interview with CSD supervisors, answer sample questions, gain post-interview feedback and receive coaching with

both one-on-one and group interviewing techniques on standing out. “If they go into a real interview for a position, they’ll have a step up against everyone else applying,” said Montgomery, warning that nabbing a spot on the CSD staff can get competitive. “We get more applications than we have positions. It’s a fun job. You’re outside working with kids. You get paid to play.”

Jobs available through the CSD include lifeguards, swim instructors, sports programs, parks maintenance aides as well as Adventure Zone staff, Teen Center staff, Senior Center recreation leaders — positions that offer employee development and promotion opportunities. “No matter what they decide to do, these are the stepping stones for any career,” Montgomery assured.

Though diminished CSD staff from pandemic shutdowns prompted this year’s workshop, Montgomery said she hopes to hold the event annually. Parents are also invited to participate and learn how to help their child succeed.

The Job Skills Workshop will be held in the Norm Rowett Pavilion and CSD gymnasium, located at 1021 Harvard Way in El Dorado Hills. CSD job applications will be accepted in-person at the event as well as online at edhcsd.org.

There are many options for winter interest in the garden.

Some may have heard the term “bones of a garden.” Bones are permanent plantings and structural objects that make our gardens look interesting and inviting. Trees and shrubs, whose bones create winter interest as well as other seasonal beauty, are the backbone of a garden.

Paths, fountains, trellises, ponds and benches are also considered bones, whose presence give structure to a garden, even when there aren’t any plants in bloom.

symphony of acrobatics, sound and light, Humans 2.0 is next level circus by Circa.

Don't miss the show at the Mondavi Center's Jackson Hall Friday, Jan. 28.

Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble, 10 bodies appear in a flash of light. They move in harmony for a fleeting moment and then descend into a sinuous trance.

Towers grow and decay, bodies leap and are caught, as physical limits are pushed to their extreme. Can we ever find a perfect balance or is adapting to constant change the only way forward?

This next chapter of Circa’s internationally acclaimed Humans is a tightly woven choreography of bodies, pulsing with music by

composer Ori Lichtik and revealed in Paul Jackson’s dramatic lighting.

Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, Humans 2.0 is intimate, primal and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human.

Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the world’s leading performance companies. Since 2004, from its base in Brisbane, Australia, performers have toured the world — performing in 40 countries to more than 1.5 million people. Its works have been greeted with standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out houses across six continents.

Humans 2.0 is commissioned by the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, 523 Mrak Hall Drive on the campus of University of California, Davis. For tickets and more information visit tickets. mondaviarts.org/7373.

This recipe is reprinted with permission from “Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook, 2nd Edition.” Copyright 2018 by the American Heart Association. Published by Harmony Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, LLC. Servings: 4 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, visible fat discarded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed 2 cups fat-free, no-salt-added chicken broth 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) no-salt-added, diced tomatoes, undrained 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon ancho powder 2 medium garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 corn tortillas (6 inches each), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips 1 corn tortilla (6 inches), torn into pieces 2-4 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro 1/4 cup finely chopped avocado

Reduce saturated fat – Select lean cuts of meat or opt for plant protein, limit processed meats, broil or bake rather than pan-fry meats and remove skin from poultry before cooking.

Eat more fish – Fish can be fatty or lean, but it’s still low in saturated fat. Choose oily fish like salmon or trout, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Use liquid oils in place of solid fats – For roasting, sauteing and more, use non-tropical liquid vegetable oils like canola, safflower, soybean or olive instead of butter, lard or shortening.

Lower dairy fats – Low-fat, fat-free or nondairy milk can be used in many recipes instead of whole milk or half-and-half.

Increase fiber and whole grains – Add highfiber vegetables to meals, serve fruit instead of juice and try brown rice instead of white.

1/4 medium red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips

In slow cooker, stir chicken, corn, broth, tomatoes, onion, sugar, ancho powder, garlic and salt. Cook, covered, on low, 6-8 hours, or on high, 3-4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 F. On baking sheet, arrange tortilla strips in single layer. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer baking sheet to cooling rack. Let strips stand 15 minutes, or until cool. Transfer to airtight container and set aside.

When soup is ready, transfer 1 cup to food processor or blender. Stir in tortilla pieces. Let mixture stand 1 minute. Process until smooth.

Stir mixture into soup. Stir in cilantro.

Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with avocado, bell pepper and reserved tortilla strips.

Barton Skilled Nursing honored SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Barton Skilled Nursing Facility has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2021-22 by U.S. News & World Report. The facility earned Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of “High-Performing,” the highest possible rating, for both shortterm rehabilitation and long-term care. Barton is proud to add this achievement to a list of growing accolades pointing to high-quality care, consistently performing above average among hospitals nationwide.

“Throughout the pandemic, and with COVID19 posing a significant risk to seniors, resident safety continues to be of utmost importance,” said Julie Clayton, RN, and chief nursing officer at Barton Health. “The Barton Skilled Nursing Facility prides itself on taking excellent care of its residents by our professional and compassionate staff, and this accolade is a direct reflection of our steadfast commitment to ensure high-quality care and positive outcomes across the entire Barton healthcare network.”

The data used to evaluate facilities comes from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services and includes metrics of nurse staffing, COVID-19 staff vaccination rates, patient outcomes, facility complaints, patient safety and rehabilitation therapy. The U.S. News rating takes that data and measures the relationship between structure, process and outcomes to determine a measure of quality of care.

As nursing homes and facilities across the country continue to grapple with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. News remains at the forefront of providing data-driven information and guidance to help residents, families and caregivers understand their long- and short-term care options, as well as a facility’s overall care.

Given the quality of care provided at more than 15,000 nursing homes in the U.S. varies widely, this rating helps families research and find a nursing home that excels in the type of care they need.

More information about Barton Health’s quality and patient safety recognition is available at BartonHealth.org/Quality.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The sale will be made, 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 the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

Trustor: FoREST T CLARK, AN UNMARRIED MAN Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust recorded 6/7/2017, as Instrument No. 20170022906-00, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Date of Sale: 2/15/2022 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $471,595.01 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 5310 GILMoRE RD PoLLoCK PINES, CA 95726 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust.

A.P.N #.: 101-060-018-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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.

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 (800) 683-2438 or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome. com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-60568. 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 (800) 683-2438, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-60568 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.
