The El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office has convicted nine people out of 20 charged with fraud relating to stolen Employment Development Department unemployment benefits, securing $36,395 as a result. Two of the convicted, Matthew Henson and John Ryan, both from Sacramento, were convicted on charges out of the same case, according to deputy district attorney Jodie Jensen. Henson and Ryan were inmates at El Dorado County Jail when they conspired with Ryan Taylor, also of Sacramento, and Rosalie Bradley of Wilton — Henson and Ryan’s “outside” co-conspirators. They falsely filed paperwork for the unemployment benefits to defraud the system by stating that the inmates at the time were seeking employment or able to accept work, despite being in jail. Two other inmates, Calvin Shaefer of Garden Valley and Marisa Moreno of Placerville, were also allegedly involved in the same case, but their charges are still pending, according to Jensen. EDD issued a total of $90,684 in unemployment insurance benefits between the four inmates due to a lack of quality control checks on the inmates’ applications. Henson was ordered to serve one year in county jail and Ryan two years and eight months in a state prison, in addition to his 16-month sentence relating to two separate cases. Taylor will do two years of state prison and Bradley will serve 60 days in county jail, according to Jensen. The other five convicted of EDD fraud include Sarah Youmans, who got 18 days of county jail; Melissa Clark, 60 days in county jail; Timothy Clark, three years in state prison; Kimi Carrick, 60 days in county jail; and Patrick Carrick, eight months in state prison, according to Jensen. The other 12 cases, including those of Moreno and Shaefer, are still pending. The county is seeking another $64,553 to be repaid by the court. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has allocated $1,250,000 from its Mission Task Funding to the NorCal Region Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Unemployment Insurance Fraud Task Force. The county will receive $187,177 from this money, according to the District Attorney’s Office. EDD officials previously reported that more than $31 billion were stolen in EDD funds.
Kiley running for congressional seat Thomas Frey Staff writer Assemblymember Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) wants to represent the new 3rd Congressional District. The district stretches from Warner Valley in Plumas County to the north, through Nevada and Placer counties and much of eastern El Dorado County, including the Tahoe Basin, and down to Inyo County on its southernmost edge. Kiley already represents 67% of District 3 — areas that are part of his Assembly District 6.
“I’ve been representing our area now for five years … I think they can see that I’m fighting for the values of our region and those are the values that I’ll fight for in Congress,” Kiley said. Kiley, 36, grew up in the region and was valedictorian at Granite Bay High School. He has an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and a law degree from Yale University. He worked as a lawyer before deciding to run for a California State n

Solo rollover injures 4 A Saturday evening rollover on Highway 50 in Cameron Park sent four Redwood City residents to the hospital, with a 19-yearold woman and 2-year-old boy suffering major injuries. The crash, involving only the 2005 Toyota Tacoma driven by 28-year-old Jairon Ixcoygomez, took place just after 6 p.m. on westbound Highway 50 east of Cameron Park Drive, according to the collision report from the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. The driver, also of Redwood
One of those was Paul Bouscal, 62, on his way home to Brisbane after visiting family in Shingle Springs. He said he saw the Tacoma roll over right in front of him and used his truck to block traffic as a cloud of dust and debris obscured visibility for oncoming motorists. With nightfall setting in, Bouscal said it was hard to see but he heard a woman crying and that’s when he found two ejected crash victims. CHP investigators say alcohol is being investigated as a factor in the rollover and the investigation is ongoing.

CRIME LOG The following was taken from El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office logs:
Davy J. Davidson
His laughter will no longer be heard. Davy Jones Davidson passed away Jan. 6, at the age of 84. He was born in 1937 in Los Angeles. Active in several sports at El Dorado High School, Davy lettered in football, played baseball and was on a bowling team. He spent 27 years working for Pacific Telephone & Telegraph. In 1982, Davy married Barbara Gifford (nee Kleinschmidt) following a romance that bloomed during their 25th high school reunion. The couple traveled to work together across several states. As a young man, Davy was active in the 20-30 Club. He and Barbara worked with Habitat for Humanity and Davy served on the El Dorado County High School Alumni board. Davy is survived by his two children Stacey Davidson and Greg Davidson and his granddaughter Sara Slate as well as three stepchildren; Michele Gifford, Jeffrey WilliamsGifford and Annette Nylander. Davy’s brother Jack Davidson and sister Patsy Buhlert also survive as well as many nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death were two sisters LaMarr Rupley and Barbara (Bobbie) Bunch.

CHP officers say 19-year-old Monica Guzman and 2-year-old Jacob Ixcoygomez were severely injured while Felicitas Guzman, 22, and Leyla Guzman, 1, suffered minor injuries. All were taken for treatment at UC Davis Medical Center, with one adult female patient requiring an air ambulance. The Tacoma came to a rest in the highway’s center divide, where several bystanders pulled over to help.

Newsom backs away from single-payer health care

hen he unveiled a new state budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom crowed about California becoming the nation’s first state to embrace universal healthcare coverage. His budget would accomplish that goal DAN WALTERS by extending state Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented immigrants of all ages, beginning in 2024. “I campaigned on universal health care,” Newsom said a day later. “We’re delivering that.” Not quite. While running for governor in 2018, Newsom pledged to create a single-payer system for California, making the state the sole supplier of coverage. “I’m tired of politicians saying they support single-payer but that it’s too soon, too expensive or someone else’s problem,” Newsom said during the campaign. That pledge won Newsom the support of singlepayer advocates. The California Nurses Association decked out a bus that toured the state with a picture of California Gov. Newsom’s face and the Gavin Newsom words: “Nurses Trust once promised to Newsom. He shares our values and fights for our bring single-payer patients.” health coverage However, once elected, Newsom did to the state but virtually nothing to is now content implement the promise. to settle for Instead, as the state’s finances allowed, he something less. extended Medi-Cal coverage incrementally to undocumented immigrants and others lacking private or public coverage. Along with mandates and subsidies from Obamacare, state actions eventually raised health coverage to 94% of Californians and Newsom’s latest extension to undocumented adults would make it, at least on paper, 100%. Newsom gets a bit testy when reporters ask him about his 2018 pledge. As he was introducing his budget this month, the state Assembly was beginning to move a single-payer bill for what’s called CalCare. When asked about it, Newsom replied, “I have not had the opportunity to review that plan and no one has presented it to me. “I think that the ideal system is a single-payer system,” Newsom said. “I’ve been consistent with that for well over a decade. … The difference here is when you are in a position of responsibility,

Letters to the Editor Confounding contradictions EDITOR: am truly baffled by inherent contradictions in a particular set of beliefs. The first contradiction pertains to sovereignty over one’s own body. It claims “My body, my choice” in objection to COVID-19 vaccinations while, at the same time, denying a woman’s right to choose how to deal with her own pregnancy. In this mindset, the government does not have the right to mandate vaccinations or other safety precautions against a deadly virus that has already killed 847,664 Americans and currently causes over 770,007 new infections daily in the United States. On the other hand, the government does have the right to prohibit an abortion that ends a pregnancy. This belief set grants an anti-vax person the right to choose what happens to his or her body, but denies a pregnant woman the right to decide what happens to hers. Furthermore, it denies bodily protection to persons who are exposed to the COVID virus through unvaccinated carriers. How does one reconcile this bewildering combination of beliefs? The second contradiction pertains to the meaning of “pro-life.” This belief set advocates the “right to life” of an embryo from the moment of conception or of a fetus prior to viability (before it can survive outside the uterus); however, it objects to the expanded child tax credit (introduced in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021) which enhances the quality of life for existing children. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports, “Without the enhanced credit, nearly 10 million children are at risk of falling back below the poverty line or slipping even deeper into poverty.” A study from the Urban Institute shows that retaining the tax credit would reduce child poverty by about 40% Nevertheless, some “pro-lifers” object to continuing this tax credit in the Build Back Better plan. This set of beliefs shows concern for the potential child (still in the womb) but not for children who actually exist in the world. Whether the living are fed and housed, educated and provided opportunities to thrive are not valid

concerns. In summary, the government should protect the unborn, but it should not protect living persons from the ravages of childhood poverty or from a lethal virus. How does this make sense to any rational person? If you ascribe to this combination of beliefs, please explain how you reconcile these contradictions. DONNA SKELTON Cameron Park
Impressions can mean anything EDITOR:
W
hy is El Dorado County giving the impression of favoritism to certain developers? By favoritism, I mean granting special treatment and assistance of county time and public funds to further the developer’s project. For instance, the county recently gave a traffic impact fee break to a developer at a cost of about $1 million, plus or minus. Why? This fee is collected by the county to fix and maintain roads in the immediate area around the development from the increase in traffic created by the development. Another case, the effort by another developer and apparently backed by the county is the roundabout being placed in Diamond Springs with the approval and creation of Dorado Oaks. This roundabout will permanently change the appearance and character of Diamond Springs. Historical sites will be removed regardless of the fact that the entire townsite is declared California Historical Site No. 487. Who cares about history when there’s money to be made? At first look, it seems to be a minor infraction. However, it is a money savings to the contractor and our loss. Why? The roundabout is cheaper to construct than paying the price of a traffic signal ($2 million to $4 million). We already have one temporary signal on Missouri Flat Road that will be replaced with a permanent signal. Another one will be constructed about 200 yards farther down Missouri Flat Road because of the impact to this area by the “Crystal ■

That look — how the author’s pup won over her adoptive “parents.” to acquire another dog, my husband and I had discovered day hiking. That meant we wanted a dog a bit larger and more athletic to join us on our outings. I’d always admired the intelligence and sprightliness of border collies and got to thinking … maybe something like a smallish border collie would be just about right? Also cute, female and ideally under a year old?
Waiting for a dog with all those specifications to turn up at our local shelter or a nearby rescue would’ve taken who knows how long. That’s where the network of PetHarbor proved invaluable. I specified how far we were willing to travel (I put 100 miles) and the site sent me daily updates of any comparable dogs in any shelter or rescue within that distance. To our amazement, it took just eight days to find the pup that became our Gia. She was at Pets & Pals Animal Shelter in Lathrop, just 65 miles away. I will say the application process with Pets & Pals was rigorous. We had to explain why we wanted to adopt and what our prior pet experiences were. Also, where did we live? Did we own or rent? Did we have a fenced yard? How many people lived in our home — and what were their ages? What current pets did we have and who was their veterinarian? Would the new pet have to stay home alone and, if so, for how long at a time? Honestly, I’ve filled out mortgage applications less exacting. But I fully understand why shelters and rescues are so fussy. They know only too well

Value reductions on properties damaged by Caldor nearly complete News release The El Dorado County Assessor’s Office has completed approximately 96% of the reductions to assessed values of improved properties damaged in the Caldor Fire. The remaining improved properties are being reviewed and will be completed soon. More than 600 properties were included in the first round of refunds, according to county Assessor Karl Weiland. “We set a goal of getting these refunds out before the Dec. 10 deadline to pay the first installment and we met that goal,” Weiland stated in a news release. The first batch of refund checks were mailed Dec. 1 and since that time the Assessor’s Office has processed more than 200 additional value reductions. In the case of destroyed residential property, the assessed land values were reduced by half and the improvement values were reduced by 95%, leaving a 5% residual improvement value to capture the underlying value of credits for impact and other permit fees. Properties that sustained damage but were not destroyed were processed based on a comprehensive review of the actual damage sustained. Assistant Assessor Danielle Yandow explained that reductions in assessed value that were completed after the Dec. 10 first installment property tax due date came in the form of a refund or a corrected tax bill, depending on the circumstances and status of each parcel.
“Of the reductions completed so far, 60% are in the Grizzly Flat region, with the other 40% mostly located along Highway 50. The total assessed value reduction to date is $106 million, which is just over $1 million in property taxes,” stated Yandow. As soon as the improved property reductions are completed the Assessor’s Office will review properties that sustained damage to land only and smoke damage claims. Yandow urged property owners who have not yet received a notice of reduced assessed value or who have not yet applied for reassessment for Caldor Fire damage to do so immediately. Due to the large perimeter and varied terrain within the area of the fire, the office has discovered the destruction of a group of residences through filed applications. However, no damage was indicated by the prior physical damage assessments. Applications must be submitted within one year of the date of the calamity in order to qualify for retroactive relief. The Assessor’s Office is only allowed to grant tax relief on applications received after the one-year deadline on the tax roll being prepared at that point in time. “In future years all reduced values will be carried forward until the property owners begin to rebuild their residence or the property is sold. As well, any further reductions in value that may occur in the heavily damaged neighborhoods n

you’ve gotta apply, you’ve gotta manifest, the ideal. This is hard work. It’s one thing to say, it’s another to do. And with respect, there are many different pathways to achieve the goal.” The nurses’ union and other single-payer advocates aren’t satisfied. The San Francisco Chronicle reported union organizer Alyssa Kang told single-payer advocates on a conference call, “So we want to be absolutely clear: This is a flip-flop from a governor who said … ‘I’m tired of politicians saying they support single payer but that it’s too soon, too expensive or someone else’s problem.’ This is absolutely unacceptable, and he cannot be allowed to have it both ways.” The differences between universal coverage and single-payer are more than semantic. The former includes a wide variety of public and private health insurance plans, many of which have coverage limits and patient co-pays, while the latter would provide unlimited benefits free of out-of-pocket costs, much like Great Britain’s National Health Service. Providing universal coverage, as Newsom defines it, is doable by spending a few additional billion dollars in the state budget. Single-payer, on the other hand, would require the federal government to give the state the $200-plus billion is now spends on Californians’ health care and the state to raise taxes more than $150 billion a year. The legislation now pending in the Assembly
Forsberg Meyer
would create a framework but the taxes are contained in a companion constitutional amendment that would require two-thirds votes in the Legislature and voter approval. With massive opposition from employers and much of the medical industry, chances for complete approval of the package are iffy at best and it doesn’t appear that Newsom will lift a finger to help it. He’s clearly content to settle for universal coverage.

SHINGLE SPRINGS — Over and over Ponderosa freshman guard Brooklynn Nordquist sprinted past an Oakmont defender on her way to the basket for a layup in the Bruins’ 59-30 win Tuesday. Each time the Vikings took the ball up the floor, Nordquist and junior guard AJ Slojkowski met the Oakmont ball handlers on the perimeter, where they were forced into bad shots or passes that led to turnovers. Nordquist and Slojkowski each had six steals and when they got the ball in their hands, it was a race to the basket. “AJ’s effort defensively on that shooter was amazing,” said Ponderosa head coach Noel O’Donnell. “That really kind of spurred things for us. And then of course you had Brooklynn doing her thing.” The head coach said Nordquist does
everything for the Bruins. “She steals the ball, she shoots and she is a great rebounder and defender.” Nordquist outscored Oakmont by herself, finishing with a career-high 38 points while adding nine rebounds. “Rebound,” Nordquist said. “That’s our one goal.” O’Donnell said the team did great rebounding after struggling to grab boards in some games. It’s the Bruins 10th win of the season and they sit at 5-2 in the Foothill Valley League. Slojkowski and senior Cheyenne Gillion had eight rebounds apiece and many of them were on the offensive end, leading to second-chance points. “Cheyenne was great rebounding for us tonight,” O’Donnell said. “It really made a huge difference.” When Oakmont got into the paint shooting a layup, Gillion’s presence was felt fast and she blocked four shots. n

Outside with Charlie
Photo by J. Ferris
Whether at a resort or in the backcountry, there is much fun to be had on cross-country skis.
Find variety on a pair of cross-country skis C ross-country skiing at a crosscountry resort is very different from crosscountry skiing outside of one. Kirkwood Cross Country Center is the closest crosscountry resort around here. They have snowcat groomed trails. Snowcats Charlie are spectacular machines that create a wide trail, with two parallel tracks to each side of the trail. The tracks are for traditional kickand-glide skinny skis. The corduroy lane in the middle is for skate-style skiing, as well as kick-and-glide or snowshoes. For beginners this type of groomed trail is best when learning the ups and downs of free-heel skiing. Outside of cross-country resorts nothing is groomed. It’s just the snowy floors of the meadows and the forest. It’s backcountry, which is anywhere away from your car, and it’s all different. In the Crystal Basin Recreation Area a handful of marked trails guide skiers along Look Lake. Skiers reported last week the snow is good there as are areas off Highway 88. The expansive floor of Hope Valley is perfect for traditional, kick-andglide cross-country skiing. Plus, you can rent snowshoe or cross-country gear at Wylders Cross Country Ski Shop at the Hope Valley Cafe or sign up for a lesson or tour. According to Roland Huntford, author of “Two Planks and a Passion: A Dramatic History of Skiing,” cave drawings in Central Asia suggest man used skis during the last Ice Age. Fortunately the gear has come a long way since those primitive planks first aided travel over snow. Cross-country bindings clamp only the toe of the boot to the ski, which is known as free-heel skiing. Some
specialized cross-country bindings are able to clamp the heel down for steep descents. Cross-country boots cover a wide variety of types, from ankle-high to pretty rigid units that resemble downhill boots. This is where the different ferris types of cross-country skiing come in — resortstyle or backcountry. The skinny skis that are in use at resorts work out in the backcountry, too. Kick-and-glide is the technique that’s most common. Skate-type crosscountry skiing is possible on a firmly packed field of snow. In most of the backcountry the conditions probably don’t favor that. Traditional cross-country skis are called skinny skis, because they are. They aren’t the only version though. While traditional xc skis will get you out into the deeper reaches of a snowy forest, and ours have, there are cross-country skis that are wider, offering a more stable platform in the backcountry, which we enjoy as well. Besides the width of the ski there are the bindings. You’ll have either a cross-country boot with a flange on the toe that has three small holes in it, used with a three-pin binding, which has three pins that align with the three holes to keep your boot attached to the ski, or New Nordic Norm bindings. NNN boots have a short, metal rod across the toe that clips into the NNN binding on the ski. Like the three pins, this is what keeps your boot attached to the ski, at the toe. Randonée boots and bindings fit into the alpine touring category. The toe of the boot locks to the ski, leaving the heel free for climbing or kicking and gliding on the flats. The heel can n

Just what is a ‘resilient’ forest? Kat Kerlin U.C. Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center
n TUNDRA by Chad Carpenter
What does a “resilient” forest look like in California’s Sierra Nevada? A lot fewer trees than we’re used to, according to a study of frequent-fire forests from the University of California, Davis. More than a century ago, Sierra Nevada forests faced almost no competition from neighboring trees for resources. The tree densities of the late 1900s would astonish most Californians today. Because of fire suppression, trees in current forests live alongside six to seven times as many trees as their ancestors did — competing for less

choice. “We just want medical choice for the parents and the kids,” said Mike Boswell, a parent of two Buckeye students. While participating in one of the protests, he added, “Wear a mask if you want and if you don’t, don’t wear one. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, honestly.” Some drivers passing by honked in approval while others shouted at the protestors in disapproval. Sheriff ’s deputies could be seen keeping watch, with patrol vehicles passing by every now and then. While the public is permitted to peacefully protest on public property, including in front of schools, not all were compliant with requests to remain off school property, according to Buckeye Union School District officials, who said they called upon the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office to provide assistance. Buckeye Union Elementary School District Assistant Superintendent Jackie McHaney delivered paperwork to both Mike and his wife Jill Boswell one morning while they were protesting. Those forms served to notify that the school is implementing a “health exclusion” from public instruction for their children Leo and Kassidy due to an unwillingness to comply with the California Department of Public Health mask mandate. The Boswells said they have been getting these notifications since Jan. 4. Their situation has been snowballing since mid-November, when both Boswell children refused, by their own will, to wear masks while at school, explained Jill. Leo, a 10-year-old fifth-grader, and Kassidy, a 7-year-old secondgrader, were sent home and have not returned to school since. The children’s exclusions became a call for a group of disgruntled parents to protest. “They have chosen this course of action to communicate their disagreement with the California Department of Public Health state mask mandate that we are required to follow,” McHaney said. “The Buckeye Union School District does follow the guidance and the laws that are provided to us by the state of California, which at this time does require all students in a K-12 facility to mask up when in classrooms unless they have a medical exemption.” Jill said other parents’ children have been denied in-person instruction for similar reasons. When the Mountain Democrat reached out to some of those parents, they declined to comment. Other parents have concerns regarding student COVID-19 testing at school. Joellene Vakulich, mother of 5-year-old kindergardener Cody Vakulich, said when her child was allowed to return to school after being exposed to someone with COVID-19, the school was going to test her child for COVID, an action she said did not give permission to occur on that particular day.
“… I hope other parents know what is going on because this is out of line,” Joellene said. Joellene said she took Cody home immediately, leaving her to consider putting him into another school district or home school, a viewpoint other parents are sharing. The outcry extended to the El Dorado Hills home of Buckeye School Principal Kevin Cadden, where a group of parents and their children, including the Boswells, protested Jan. 11. Principal Cadden declined to comment to the Mountain Democrat but Buckeye Union Superintendent David Roth did respond to the incident on the district website Jan. 14. Roth states that he got a call from Cadden the evening of Jan. 11 as the protestors gathered in front of his home. “It would be an understatement for me to express the sense of shock that we who work everyday with Mr. Cadden felt about this intrusion on his home life,” states Roth. “I want to ensure the community that the district is providing its resources to support the Caddens. “Quite clearly what occurred to Mr. Cadden’s family falls well outside the spirit with which I believe our community wants to support its educators,” Roth continues. Mike said they were not getting the results they wanted so a group of five adults and two children took to the the sidewalk in front of Cadden’s home to protest. “We were keeping it protected, purely peaceful and just letting them know ‘Hey, what you guys are doing is wrong.’ What we did was not against the law,” Mike said. Many frowned upon their actions, Mike admitted. Paperwork shown to the Mountain Democrat confirms that the Caddens are in the process of filing restraining orders against Mike and Jill Boswell. The Boswells, along with other frustrated Buckeye parents, went to a planned hybrid Buckeye Union School District Board of Trustees meeting Jan. 19, where the board elected to follow state mask mandates and require everyone physically present to wear a mask. The public refused, the building was cleared out and the meeting went fully virtual. “We’re going to keep protesting until everybody’s got the choice and option because it’s against the law and it is child abuse,” Mike said. The Boswells said they are looking into legal options. Meanwhile, the Boswells have work packets lined up so their children can continue their education. “I feel kind of bad though because I don’t get to learn anything at school. I don’t get to see my friends,” Leo said. Kassidy said one of her friends rolled her eyes at her for her families’ actions. “I still feel good about what we’re doing because I can’t quite breathe in these masks,” Kassidy said.

Resilient forest does “resilience” even mean? Increasingly appearing in management plans, the term has been vague and difficult to quantify. The authors developed this working definition: “Resilience is a measure of the forest’s adaptability to a range of stresses and reflects the functional integrity of the ecosystem.” They also found that a common forestry tool — the Stand Density Index, or SDI — is effective for assessing a forest’s resilience. “Resilient forests respond to a range of stressors, not just one,” said lead author Malcolm North, an affiliate professor of forest ecology with the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences and a research ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station. “‘Resistance’ is about surviving a particular stress, like fire — but there’s a lot more going on in these forests, particularly with the strain of climate change.”

Competitive nature For fire-adapted forests in the Sierra, managing for resilience requires drastically reducing densities — as much as 80% of trees, in some cases. “Treatments for restoring resilience in today’s forests will need to be much more intensive than the current focus on fuels reduction,” said Scott Stephens of UC Berkeley, a co-author on the paper. The study compared large-scale historical and contemporary datasets and forest conditions in the southern and central Sierra Nevada, from Sequoia National Forest to the Stanislaus National Forest. It found that between 1911 and 2011, tree densities increased six- to seven-fold while average tree size was reduced by half. A century ago, both stand densities and competition were low. More than threequarters of forest stands had low or no competition to slow a tree’s growth and

lock down in the binding for the downhill part of your day, acting more like downhill boots and skis. The boots look and act more like downhill gear, while being flexible enough to move with the heel free. Then there is telemark. Boots and bindings in this group have, like everything else in skiing, evolved over the years. The toe is attached to the ski; the heel is free. Watching a skier telemarking downhill is a thing of pure beauty. That can be done with traditional, three-pin or NNN boots and bindings, or with telemark boots and cable bindings at the heel. It takes a lot of practice to master this type of control and turn. Despite a massive number of face plants, I never quite got it. I did provide a lot of comedy for my family though.

Assembly seat in 2016. Last year Kiley supported the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom and entered the race himself before finishing sixth. “I know how to fight and I know how to get results even in the face of long odds,” Kiley said. “I think that’s exactly the sort of mentality we need in our next congressman because the battles we have right now are so important.” He said he wants to get the country back to its founding principles of limited government and government by the people. Kiley — also a former teacher at Manual Arts High School in inner-city Los Angeles — said one of the major forces that’s going to lead to change in the political landscape is parents speaking up and demanding their voices be heard when it comes to their child’s education, especially with mask and vaccine mandates in schools. “I’ve been a strong advocate for reversing Gavin Newsom’s student vaccine mandate,” Kiley said. “We need to put power and choice back in the hands of parents. That’s the way it’s supposed to work and parents have had those choices taken away from them.” Kiley is running against Navy combat veteran and physician Kermit Jones, a Democrat, and Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones, a Republican. The primary is June 7. For more information on Kiley’s campaign visit electkevinkiley.com.

In contrast, nearly all — 82%-95% — of modern frequent-fire forests are considered in “full competition.” The study indicates that forests with very low tree densities can be more resilient to compounded threats of fire, drought and other climate stressors while maintaining healthy water quality, wildlife habitat and other natural benefits. Forests burned by high-severity fires or killed by drought lose such ecosystem services.

elebrating the community that put the whimsical, funky and irreverent aesthetic of California’s Sacramento region on the art-historical map, the Crocker Art Museum announces The Candy Store: Funk, Nut, and Other Art with a Kick, opening Feb. 2. Held on what would be the 60th anniversary of the gallery’s founding, this is the largest exhibition on The Candy Store Gallery to date with more than 100 multimedia works. In 1962 Adeliza McHugh opened the Candy Store Gallery in a modest house in Folsom. McHugh started her business as a candy store, but when the health department shut that down she converted the space into an art gallery. There were just two rooms for the ceramic sculptures, paintings and other art she displayed, but these small spaces featured art by makers who would become nationally and even internationally significant. For 30 years the Candy Store Gallery delighted visitors and was a muchbeloved destination for art shopping, as well as socializing and interacting with artists. McHugh cultivated a closeknit stable of artists that came to be known as “The Candy Store Bunch.” Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest, David Gilhooly, Maija Peeples-Bright and Peter VandenBerge were core members of this group. The Candy Store was among the first galleries to display and sell the avantgarde artistic style that came to be known as “Funk,” along with a related but lesserknown corollary that some practitioners called “Nut.”

“Jelly Bean Bear in Ark” by David Gilhooly (American, 1943–2013), 1981, glazed earthenware. Crocker Art Museum, gift of Joanne and William Rees. “Adeliza and her Candy Store bunch helped make the Sacramento region an art center of great importance” said Scott A. Shields, Ph.D., associate director and chief curator of the Crocker Art Museum. “Their work was a counterpoint to the aesthetic production coming out of the eastern United States at the time.” As the gallery’s popularity grew, McHugh exhibited the art of members of the Hairy Who — Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt and Karl Wirsum — three Chicagoans whose work seemed both to relate to and complement that of the
Californians. Although beloved by many, the Candy Store aesthetic was not always widely appreciated. Many more conservative critics and collectors were offended by the unrefined and frequently ribald art that the gallery featured, much of which was not intended to be easy to like, even by big-city standards. McHugh believed that good art should make people uncomfortable. In her own words, “If I’m going to drink, I want wine; and if I’m going to look at art, it’s got to have a kick.” “The Crocker is incredibly proud of our role in elevating and showcasing the art of California and we feel it is particularly important that we champion the work of artists so central to our regional art history,” noted Lial A. Jones, Mort and Marcy Friedman director and CEO. “Many of the Candy Store artists were also teachers at local institutions. They and their work helped shape the trajectory of a generation of artists from the Sacramento area.” As such, this exhibition celebrates not just a gallery, a trailblazing gallerist and an esteemed group of artists, but a community — one that shaped the course of art history in Northern California and beyond. A catalogue for The Candy Store: Funk, Nut & Other Art with a Kick is available for purchase in the Crocker Museum Store. The text is the first major scholarship on the gallery in more than a decade. The Candy Store presentation at the Crocker is held in conjunction with a related show at the University Library Gallery at California State University, Sacramento.

Nine family-friendly, 10-minute winning scripts will be selected for production over this spring followed by a red-carpet world premiere movie showing at 7 p.m. Oct. 7, in the historical Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento. The A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival showcases original stories that demonstrate our region’s diversity and rich culture. This festival does more than award great writing. It is the only festival that makes filmmaking accessible by offering mentorship, low-cost workshops, a gear lending library and other resources to help scriptwriters turn their scripts into high-quality HD movies with little cost to the filmmaker. During the 21-year festival history, 204 original films have been crafted and premiered as part of this unique all-local festival. Access Sacramento provides four specialty low-cost workshops to help build skills in the filmmaking community as they prepare for the A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival. All of the details are available at Access Sacramento.org. Neither previous experience nor Access Sac membership are required for these trainings.

Her students in the last two years have had considerable success in having their films chosen for this film competition. Her first biographical screenplay won The Alfred P. Sloan Science Screenwriting award. This led to additional biographical screenplay assignments plus other original materials with life-time rights for production. Spinella is an adjunct professor of screenwriting at University of the Pacific and holds an MFA from UCLA. She has taught other workshops for the California Film Foundation. The $50 class-fee must be paid for in advance. Call Access Sacramento to reserve your place in the workshop at (916) 456-8600 ext. 0.

Winners will be announced after three rounds of blind judging at the annual Cast & Crew Call at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 4, at the Coloma Community Center Park, 4623 T St., Sacramento.

Talented trio to take the Nevada Theatre stage News release
C
hristine and Rob Bonner will be joined by their friend and world renown multiinstrumentalist Joe Craven on violin, mandolin and percussion during Paul Emery’s Nevada City LIVE! presents concert at the Nevada Theatre Jan. 29. Folk harpist Christine Bonner is a stunning harpist who has performed for many years in concerts and special engagements throughout the West Coast. Many of Christine’s compositions are inspired by her early California ancestors, the Berryessa family. Her love of music is equaled only by her love of art. Her musical style includes a bold and rare blend of Latin, Celtic, classical and jazz. Christine’s music delves into her own family history for inspiration and traces the ancestral journey of the Berryessa family from their native Spain to the ranchos of California. The result is “a unique and alluring mixture of acoustic string instruments and percussion that

Christine and Rob Bonner will groove with Joe Craven, left to right, at a Saturday concert in Nevada City. persuades the listener back into a time of palatial homes built amid gentle rolling hills and wind swept trees.” Rob Bonner is a selftaught guitarist with extended talents in bass guitar and violin. His moving compositions are heavily mused of experiences and memories of his tour to Vietnam. After safely returning to the United States in 1972, Rob formed the South Loomis Quickstep Band with
fellow super-pickers Joe Craven and Mark O’Connor. The group boasted a unique style of solid bluegrass, along with firmly rooted traditional music of southern Appalachia. South Loomis Quickstep Band performed with many noted and talented artists including Buck Owens, Hoyt Axton, Elvin Bishop, Cheech & Chong, John Hartford, Asleep at the Wheel, Emmylou Harris, Doc Watson, Tom T. Hall,
Rick Nelson, The Kingston Trio and The Sacramento Symphony. The band also performed for Present Carter and President Ford. Rob and the band were also featured in a performance with the Auburn Civic Symphony during the symphony’s annual Day on the Green concert. The group toured throughout the U.S. and Europe until they disbanded in 1985. Craven is not just an entertaining musician
with a penchant for the mischievous, he is a teacher and student all at once. He’s known for reimagining existing music with reviews such as, “This is either sacrilege or the second coming.” Whether with corporate heads in Contra Costa, young men in a juvenile detention center, homeless shelter families, a university lecture in wherever, jamming with Gnawa musicians in Morocco, on stage at Carnegie
Hall with Stephane Grappelli, on stage with an angel food cake pan in front of thousands of school kids in Scotland … no matter who and what Craven’s connected with, he’s at home and loving every minute. Craven and John Girton toured and recorded extensively in the 1990s. The concert begins at 8 p.m. at the Nevada Theatre, 401 Broad St. in Nevada City.

Singer KT Tunstall performing her hits at The Sofia News release
S
BL entertainment presents singer-songwriter KT Tunstall Jan. 29 at The Sofia in Sacramento. Since scoring a worldwide smash with her debut album “Eye To The Telescope” in 2004, which went on to sell more than 5 million copies, Tunstall has remained at the forefront of UK talent. Over the next decade, three further critically acclaimed albums followed: “Drastic Fantastic,” “Tiger Suit” and “Invisible Empire/Crescent Moon” in 2007, 2010 and 2013 respectively, keeping the platinum sales rolling and cementing the Scottish singersongwriter’s reputation as a major recording talent, as well as a mesmerizing live artist. The last few years have seen something of a creative rebirth for Tunstall. Upon relocating to the West Coast, she was accepted as one of six annual fellows for the Sundance Film Institute’s Composers Lab (hosted by George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch in Northern California) and has since scored music for short and feature films. She has also been awarded the Inspirational Artist Gong at the Women In Music Awards and was chosen as the first female grand marshal (following the likes of Sir Sean Connery) to lead April 2018’s annual New York Tartan Week parade. In May 2018 she and Mike McCready, of legendary multi-million selling Pearl Jam, released a cover of Tom Petty’s huge hit single “I Won’t Back Down” with proceeds

Stephen De Staebler (1933–2011) was an internationally celebrated sculptor and a pivotal figure in the Bay Area Figurative and California clay movements. Over the course of a career that spanned five decades, the artist created powerful, deeply symbolic sculptures in clay and bronze that merged ancient and modern vocabularies while capturing the physical and spiritual struggles inherent to the human condition. His personal experiences and education profoundly shaped his interest in the human form, which he presented as fragmented and deconstructed, whittled down and built back up through creative exploration and perseverance. A series of clay masks, begun in the mid-1960s, suggest mummification and mortality as well as a raw ruggedness. By exploring the slippages between body and earth, these elegiac forms underscore their inextricable and cyclical relationship. Later in his career, De Staebler started casting figurative sculptures in bronze, a material strong enough to allow him to augment scale while preserving the geological aesthetic central to his art. These monumental sculptures include a mix of winged and totemic figure columns (elements of which were rescued from the clay “boneyard” behind his studio) that are at once otherworldly and startlingly familiar in their ascending and descending qualities.
HANDS AND EARTH: CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE CERAMICS Featuring an in-depth selection of important works by master Japanese ceramic artists of the last 80 years, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see significant examples of avantgarde approaches to clay. Showcasing a range of shapes, glazes and surface treatments, these ceramics blend ingenuity with a deep respect for tradition. The exhibition is drawn from the collection of Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz, who have amassed encyclopedic holdings of Japanese modern and contemporary ceramics. With more than 1,000 examples, it is the largest collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics outside of Japan. Most of the works in the show are by masters who are living and practicing today. Their ceramics are considered some of the most aesthetically and technically innovative in the world, though they also often incorporate artistic traditions that began thousands of years ago.

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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $455,861.53 (Estimated).

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0700058921-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this inter net website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000589-21-1 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.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4937 CREEKSIDE DRIVE, GRIZZLY FLATS, CA 95636 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA12000019-19-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website https://tracker. auction.com/sb1079/, using the file number assigned to this case CA12000019-19-1 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.
