El Dorado Western Railroad volunteers Bruce Cunha, Ken Asmus and Edward Cunha, from left, measure their fence post placement as a new fence is constructed in an effort to keep vandals out of the railyard.

Vandalism drives railroad volunteers to fence up Eric Jaramishian Staff writer An uptick in vandalism at the El Dorado Western Railroad depot on Oriental Street in El Dorado has prompted volunteers to increase security, including adding a chain link fence to protect the historical gang cars and engine.

Vice president of the nonprofit El Dorado Western Railway Foundation and 30-year volunteer railroad Edward Cunha, 66, said vandals have smashed nearly 20 windows on railroad equipment in the past 12 months. The cost for those repairs totaled nearly $4,000, according to Cunha.

“Our mission is to build a railroad for people to

With no knowledge of who could be vandalizing the equipment, a group of railroad volunteers are in the process of constructing

a fence to try to deter the consistent vandalism.

The fence could take several more weeks to build, said 74-year-old El Dorado County Historical Museum Commissioner and 30-year railroad volunteer Keith Berry, who added that their

“This is what we have chosen to do for the community but it’s just kind of hard when you work hard to make something look nice and to be fun, and someone comes out and smashes the windows.”

Suder takes assistant DA position Eric Jaramishian Staff writer As the first woman to be named El Dorado County’s assistant district attorney, Lisette Suder possesses more than 27 years of experience in the criminal justice field.

Previously a deputy district attorney overseeing the Special Victims Unit for the District Attorney’s Office, she and her team have been instrumental in prosecuting some of the county’s most heinous crimes.

Suder’s more well-known cases include the killing of El Dorado Hills resident Joanne Witt at the hands of her 14-yearold daughter and her daughter’s adult boyfriend, the trial of former Air Force pilot Todd Winkler who murdered his wife in their Cameron Park home and the prosecution of Anthony Gumina for the strangling of his wife while devising an elaborate plan to bury her body.

Suder in 2019 helped convict Michael Swope of murdering his wife’s 6-weekold son, a product of an affair.

Some of the 52-year-old’s more famous cases have even appeared on TV news magazines such as “Dateline,” “48 Hours” and “20/20.”

Suder’s career began with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in 1994, working for 14 years as the leading prosecutor in both the Hard Core Gang Unit and Sex Crimes Unit, taking on more than 100 felony cases, including many murder and serious sex

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.

Narcotics detectives arrest duo in South Lake Tahoe Mountain Democrat staff Detectives with the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office arrested two South Lake Tahoe residents Feb. 3 in connection with an ongoing narcotics investigation.

After serving a search warrant at a South Lake Tahoe apartment complex on Bonanza Avenue 19-year-old Daniel Barnhart and 18-year-old Michelle Kennedy were taken into custody.

Detectives say their primary suspect was contacted in the complex’s public area and was detained. The suspect was reportedly found is possession of a loaded 9 mm handgun with a 30-round magazine in his waistband. This firearm was determined to be a “ghost gun,” meaning it was not serialized and untraceable, according to sheriff ’s officials.

Inside the apartment detectives reported locating a fully loaded 9 mm Uzi, readily accessible on the couch of the living room. The firearm had a

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

MIND THE GAP: WHAT IS A DIASTEMA? A gap between teeth is called a diastema. While it poses no dental or medical threat, a diastema is sometimes a concern for patients for cosmetic reasons. Most often appearing in young children, a diastema usually closes when permanent adult teeth come in.

Spaces that are wider than 0.5 millimeters are considered to be a diastema. Generally caused by the difference between the size of teeth relative to the jaw, the condition is often genetic. A smaller tooth means more space between the teeth, most commonly, the upper lateral incisors, which creates a gap between the front teeth. Gum disease can also be responsible for tooth migration as inflammation damages the bone

supporting the teeth.

And while it is true that brushing and flossing may take the lead in the fight against food and plaque build-up, the main causes of decay and gum disease, it is equally important to perform these oral hygiene routines correctly for maximum results. Your family dentist can show you the most effective way to brush and floss your teeth. Remember, a sure investment in your future is a visit to your dentist today.

P. S. In many parts of the world, a gap between the front teeth is considered a sign of beauty and attractiveness, and some people choose to widen their gaps to enhance their appearance.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

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

Tahoe Regional Planning Agency LAKE TAHOE — The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board in late January approved a project to test innovative methods to address the largest infestation of invasive weeds in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

An infestation of aquatic invasive weeds in the Tahoe Keys lagoons in South Lake Tahoe is accelerating and poses a threat to Lake Tahoe if not controlled, according to a news release from TRPA. The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association proposed the test project in targeted areas of the 170 acres of waterways. The area is approximately seven times greater than all other Lake Tahoe marinas combined.

The unanimous board vote clears the path for a combination of weed treatments — ultraviolet light,

a one-time application of EPA-certified aquatic herbicides and a process to aerate the lagoon bottom with small bubbles to reduce plant growth.

The association worked with scientists, community members, environmental agencies and nonprofit organizations in a multi-year, collaborative process that was thorough, scientifically rigorous and inclusive, the agency said.

“If left unchecked, aquatic invasive weeds in any part of Lake Tahoe threaten our entire ecosystem,” TRPA Executive Director Joanne S. Marchetta said. “With climate change increasing water temperatures we have an urgent need to deploy science-based solutions to combat these emergent threats.”

Aquatic weeds cover more than 90% of the Tahoe n

File taxes with United Way free program News release SACRAMENTO — El Dorado County residents are eligible to file their taxes online for free through United Way California Capital Region’s Free Tax Prep program through April 18.

Households across the region that earned less than $65,000 in 2021 can file for free and receive up to $8,000 cash back from state and federal credits, including the federal and state earned income tax credits. The local United Way’s Free Tax Prep program saves qualifying residents an average of $200 in preparer fees. When needed, the program provides free tax help virtually and in person in multiple languages.

Two virtual tax workshops will be held Feb. 26 and March 12, where certified volunteers will help participants prepare their own returns and answer

questions before filing. To learn more about United Way’s Free Tax Prep program or begin filing visit YourFreeTaxPrep.org.

“Many families in our region have earned these tax credits but often do not know they are eligible,” said Dr. Dawnté Early, president and CEO of United Way California Capital Region.

“These are important funds that local families can use to meet immediate needs and increase their household’s financial stability. Our Free Tax Prep program is a key piece of United Way’s work to help every family succeed so their community can too. That is square one for ending poverty in our region.”

Households may be eligible for state earned income tax credits if the taxpayer is at least 18 years old and the household earned less than $30,000 in 2021. Many eligible households are not legally required to file taxes due to low

income, but, if they file, they can claim state and federal credits.

Families that received advance payments of the Child Tax Credit must file a tax return and could be eligible for additional Child Tax Credit payments. United Way’s Free Tax Prep program can help non-U.S. residents apply for their ITIN, as ITIN holders are eligible for some tax credits. Experts recommend everyone files early, noting that many people do not realize unemployment income is taxable.

Even if people owe money, it is not due until April 18 no matter how early they file.

In 2021 more than 4,000 households across the Sacramento region filed their taxes through United Way’s Free Tax Prep program, claiming a total of more than $7.5 million in credits and saving a total of $885,000 in tax preparation fees.

California Matters

Newsom in the middle of the solar panel battle

H

igh-octane battles over major policy issues are nothing new in the state Legislature. Every legislative session has at least one such clash that draws intense public and media interest.

Although the 2022 legislative session has Dan Walters just begun, it already has high-profile battles under way over whether public school students should be required to have COVID-19 vaccinations and whether the state should embrace single-payer medical care.

We sometimes forget that there are dozens of other, less public, venues where conflicts over important policy issues play out — like state regulatory agencies. With all of them directly or indirectly controlled by the governor or other political figures, they make decisions that can have multi-billiondollar consequences and affect the lives of millions of Californians.

The California Public Utilities Commission, whose members are appointed by the governor, is arguably the state’s most influential regulatory agency. Originally created more than a century ago to regulate Gov. Gavin Newsom railroad freight rates, is the man in the PUC’s portfolio expanded to include the middle of an utilities supplying intense battle electric power, natural over payments to gas and water.

With that broad rooftop solar panel franchise, PUC owners for their decrees affect the excess power. finances of virtually every household and business in the state. It now faces one of the most heated conflicts in its history — a utility-backed proposal to reduce the financial incentives for installing rooftop solar panels, primarily the right to sell excess solar energy back to utilities, dubbed Net Energy Metering or NEM. In December the PUC released a 204-page proposal to reduce the payments to solar panel owners, largely embracing what the utilities and their unions had been seeking, but angering advocates of rooftop generation. The factions have been waging a fierce battle, mostly in the media, ever since.

The utilities contend that NEM amounts to a subsidy for Californians affluent enough to afford

Letters to the Editor An American hero EDITOR: f someone had asked me a couple years ago where I would rank Mike Pence in the pantheon of heroes, I probably would have said somewhere between Benedict Arnold and Jefferson Davis. His pathetic cow-towing of Donald Trump was almost nauseating.

How wrong I was.

I now realize that if he hadn’t had the guts to carry out his role in accordance with the Constitution we would now be faced with a crisis of unprecedented proportions. As former President Trump has said, “He has the opportunity to overturn the election.” Imagine where we might be if Pence had decided to “overturn” the results of the election. Imagine also what would become of our democracy if a reelected President Trump were to be in a position to pardon the perpetrators of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

No, don’t imagine it. It’s beyond the worst possible thing that could happen to our beautiful country.

ROB PURDIE Cameron Park

I

Jan. 6 violence EDITOR: would like to respond to Mr. Alger’s letter in the Mountain Democrat Jan. 19. Mr. Alger tried to equate the recent demonstrations and riots because of the deaths of African American men with the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

I agree with Mr. Alger that violence is violence and I want to be clear that I condemn violence no matter who commits it. However, the causes of the violence could not be more different. The demonstrations and riots in the summer of 2021 were due to the deaths of African American men at the hands of police and white vigilantes. This comes with a background of more than 400 years of injustice, oppression and prejudice. I can certainly understand their anger at the continuing injustice that people of color face.

Jan. 6, on the other hand, was gratefully the unsuccessful coup attempt of a man with dictatorial

I

ambitions. It has become increasingly clear that former President Trump knew that he had lost the election but could not accept that defeat. He undertook a serious attempt to stop the certification of the election and ensure that he remain president by any means possible. An important part of that strategy was manipulating and convincing his base to believe that there was election fraud and that he should remain president.

I must say that former President Trump is a gifted liar and manipulator and was able to convince a sizable number of his base that those lies were true and fomented a huge amount of anger that culminated on Jan. 6.

Again, let me be clear, I condemn violence be it at the hands of Antifa, BLM, Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers. However, anger at continuing injustice cannot be compared to the threat to our democracy with the attack on our Capital by a mob of people who unfortunately were gullible to the rantings of an autocratic egomaniac.

SCOTT TAYLOR Placerville

Term confusion EDITOR: n her letter “Confounding contradictions,” Donna Skelton covers two areas; the first is vaccines. The problem here is what is referred to as a COVID vaccine is not a vaccine at all. It does not prevent you from getting COVID. What it does, when it works as designed, is mitigate the symptoms to a hopefully milder intensity that does not require hospitalization and thereby relieves pressure on hospitals and their workers. It does not prevent the disease. If it did that we’d be past this by now.

I’m not against the COVID shots; I have them myself. But comparing them to actual vaccines like polio just creates distrust and opposition.

“Vaccinated” people can still catch COVID and pass it on just like the non-vaccinated. Nonvaccinated people may be putting a strain on the hospitals, but they’re not putting you in more danger as some seem to suggest when laying guilt trips on the non-vaccinated.

… the track record of liberals toward minority Americans who are not liberal is not pretty. through which Thomas’ nomination had to pass was our current president, Joe Biden.

The then-Sen. Biden presided over a confirmation hearing that he allowed to be transformed into a carnival of pornography, allowing Anita Hill to make shameful public accusations about Thomas that had no place in a Senate hearing and that defamed Thomas such that one wonders if full recovery in the court of public opinion is ever possible.

In a recent documentary, Thomas spoke about what happened and how, under Joe Biden’s chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, liberals sought to destroy him because he is a conservative: “People should just tell the truth: This is the wrong Black guy.

He has to be destroyed. Just say it.

Then now we will be honest with each other.”

In fact, the track record of liberals toward minority Americans who are not liberal is not pretty.

Janice Rogers Brown, a conservative/libertarian African American woman who served as a justice on the Supreme Court

of California, was nominated by President George W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Senate Democrats blocked her nomination for two years until she was finally confirmed in 2005.

Miguel Estrada is a distinguished Honduran American attorney who arrived as an immigrant without being able to speak English and wound up graduating, magna cum laude, with a juris doctor degree from Harvard Law School. Democrats blocked Bush’s nomination of Estrada to the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals because he is a conservative.

The point is our country has a complex history and cultural reality in addition to its ideals.

Among our ideals should be mutual human respect and decency.

There can be justification to Biden’s commitment to nominating an African American woman to the court.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). As for your ambition, you would broadcast it on a gigantic billboard if you could. In contrast, you are resistant to even whisper the question of your heart. It will be answered in unshared silence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If your feelings were a weather pattern, they would be a surprisingly predictable one this season. If moved to keep track of the data, you’ll see it plain -- or just feel the rhythm and settle into the dance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A smooth leader makes everyone feel calm and comfortable. A wrench in the timing, there will be an unsettling moment followed by a speedy recovery and restructuring.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If your mind were a room, today it would be crammed full of furniture and visitors, bumping into one another in the tight quarters. Do a clearing process. You need mental space.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t obsess over what others think about you. It’s best to assume they don’t -- not true today, but it will allow you to relax into the moment and act naturally with confidence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People value what they pay attention to, and they pay attention to what they value. You’ll be tuned into where the attention flows, and your eyes will be opened. Today features an “aha” moment, then a plan.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You make the world better by following your bliss. An exciting new interest will captivate your imagination. Let the excitement spill over. There’s no area of life that can’t be helped by this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you’re with people who support one another, you’ll feel energized -- a beautiful state of being. Think about what you like in the other person and this flow will be organic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your day-to-day contributions are so steady they could easily be taken for granted. You can pull attention to your contribution by holding it back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). More love equals more happiness. This starts with the love you put out into the world. Tuned into your own behavior, just noticing will change your life for the better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your default mode is to make everyone around you comfortable. Focus on yourself for a change. The others will be at ease when you are at ease.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll gravitate to the creatively endowed. Self-sufficient people who don’t rely on others for entertainment or happiness will be a joy to interact with, and life will improve when you can make this happen more often.

offense cases involving both adult and child victims.

“It’s so tragic what happens to innocent people that your heart really bleeds for these families,” Suder said.

The hardest part about gang-related cases was getting victims to testify, Suder added.

“It’s a very delicate balance but it’s also very challenging trying to find ways to get people to cooperate with law enforcement and to help with the prosecution because nobody wants to talk. They’re all afraid of the gang members.”

Shifting from a fast-paced caseload in Los Angeles to more personal and heinous crimes in El Dorado County, Suder moved to the West Slope to be closer to family. She began to work for the county District Attorney’s Office in 2008.

As one of a handful of prosecutors in the county, Suder has dealt with a wide range of crimes, providing a wellrounded and informed application of the criminal justice system. Her work goes well beyond the courtroom, assisting law enforcement with countless homicide investigations, personally appearing at crime scenes, witness and suspect interviews, consulting on strategy throughout investigations and reopening cold cases.

“I think the most important aspect is to gain the trust of the witnesses the best you can,” Suder said. “I would go out to their homes and workplaces and try to spend that time so they would understand the importance of why we needed them to testify or what we were trying to achieve.”

All of this while trying to give peace to victims of crime. Suder said she is always encouraged when she later runs into victims to see them in a better place in life.

“That is more powerful to me than being on television,” Suder said. “When you’ve had a bad day in the office or you’re thinking ‘why am I doing this,’

I remember those moments. I can’t change what happened to them but I feel I help them find that closure and move on. That’s all you can ask for in a career.”

Even growing up, Suder was no stranger to justice. She was an Air Force brat, living in places like California, Georgia, Ohio and Alabama and her aunt worked for the Riverside County Probation Department.

Suder said her aunt urged her to do volunteer work in law enforcement while earning her business degree from the University of California, Riverside, solidifying a future in law.

Suder is the founder of a women’s pre-law society for undergrads at UC Riverside, which supports women interested in going into law.

She went to law school at Southwestern Law School on a fullride scholarship with the goal to be a district attorney.

As an active community member, Suder volunteers for the National Charity League in El Dorado Hills, a nonprofit encouraging community service and volunteer work for women and their middle-to high-school-aged daughters, she said.

Suder also is a volunteer judge for mock trial at various high schools in the county and is a member the Child Abuse Prevention Council for El Dorado County.

As assistant district attorney, Suder will take on more management roles at the District Attorney’s Office under District Attorney Vern Pierson’s leadership. She filled the position Jan. 3, which has been vacant since 2019.

“I’m excited about the future and working with this team about policies and helping everybody find better ways to continue to make the office grow,” Suder said.

In her free time Suder said she enjoys playing board and card games with her family, spending time with her dogs and going on walks with friends.

Weeds

Keys lagoons and provide sources of continuing infestations around the lake, including popular recreation areas like Emerald Bay. Treating the Tahoe Keys lagoons is the No. 1 priority for the multi-agency Lake Tahoe Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinating Committee.

Following decades of failed attempts to control the weeds with conventional methods, in 2017 the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association applied to water quality agencies for a permit to explore what tools might “knock back” the infestation to a controllable level so

it can be maintained by non-herbicidal methods. The environmental analysis determined that Lake Tahoe is not at risk from this test of mixed methods.

“The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association has been actively managing this weed infestation for over 40 years and has invested millions while the infestation has only gotten worse,” association President David Peterson said. “One method alone is not going to work. For the sake of the entire Lake Tahoe ecosystem we need to test all tools to address the scale of the invasive species problems in the Tahoe Keys.”

University of California, Davis, professor emeritus Dr. Charles Goldman was among the scientists to speak in support of the project. “Aquatic herbicides have come a long way and this is the appropriate measure at this time,” he said. Goldman famously sounded the alarm of Lake Tahoe’s declining clarity in the 1960s and his work prompted the states to create the bi-state TRPA to stop harmful development practices.

“Collaboration over the course of many years brought us to this important vote,” TRPA’s Marchetta said.

“It’s yet another example that if we trust each other and rely on science, we can collectively make the best decisions to protect Lake Tahoe for future generations.”

Earlier this month, California’s Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board voted unanimously to certify the environmental analysis and issue a special permit for the project.

Following the approval, testing and monitoring could begin in cordoned areas of the Tahoe Keys lagoons this spring. Learn more about the project at tahoekeysweeds.org.

El Dorado Western Railroad volunteers, left photo, construct a fence around the historical railroad cars. One window is boarded and another smashed on the 1952 Plymouth engine, right photo.

Continued from A1 their resources to fix the windows on the carts at no cost, according to El Dorado County Historical Museum administrator Mary Cory.

This time around Cory said funds to replace the windows came from the El Dorado Western Railway Foundation.

The recent increase in railroad vandalism started around 2017, Berry said.

Three 15-year-old boys were charged that year for smashing nearly two dozen windows and vandalizing the caboose near the cars with an estimated cost of $6,000 to $7,000 to repair, according to Cunha.

“It’s like any other volunteer organization. This is what we have chosen to do for the community but it’s just kind of hard when you work hard to make something look nice and to be fun, and someone comes out and smashes the windows,”

Cunha said.

Sanders said there are plans to construct a small playground near the El Dorado Depot on Oriental Street, which has received $50,000 through Proposition 68 funding and more than $12,000 through the county’s General Fund. Sanders said she hopes that will help solve some of the vandalism issues.

“With the new fence and possibly a playground, and by getting the community involved with reporting suspicious activity, I believe we can do it,” Sanders said.

Volunteers also said the implementation of cameras is also a possibility.

“I can’t say enough good things about (the railroad volunteers’) willingness to deal with these things,” Cory said. “They come up with plans and ways to deal with it and then move on, all with this idea of being able to have a historical railroad in El Dorado County that we can share with the public.”

removed. It’s unfortunate, because it damages the appearance of the entire community.”

Volunteers have received help building the fence from the county. County Parks Manager Vickie Sanders said the fencing components came from an area off Missouri Flat and Depot roads, where the county Parks and Recreation Department is developing a bicycle park.

“Those volunteers for the railroad are so committed to their program and they put in so many hours,” Sanders said. “It is heartbreaking when they have issues like this.”

The El Dorado Western Railway Foundation supports the railroad, which uses 1960s gang cars, also known as speeder cars, to provide an experience on riding the rails, with a round trip that takes nearly an hour on an 8-mile track.

EDHCSD shares celebration with

special resident Sel Richard Staff writer

L

ongtime resident Erma Schmer turned 90 last month, sharing a special milestone with the El Dorado Hills Community Services District. Erma moved to El Dorado Hills the very year the EDHCSD was established, prompting EDHCSD General Manager Kevin Loewen and former GM Wayne Lowery to pay Erma a birthday visit.

“When we heard that she was a resident from 1962, it just made sense to go and say happy birthday to an El Dorado Hills resident who has been here for the full 60 years of the community services district,” explained Loewen. The CSD turns 60 on May 21.

Erma still lives in her original house, which happens to be the fifth house built in Park Village, the very first El Dorado Hills village. Her oldest daughter Terry remembers growing up in the neighborhood, spending summers at the Bertelsen Park pool, when there was a pool.

“This is a special place to live,” Terry

I would get up in the morning, go to the pool, come home for dinner and then go back. I always had green hair.”

Erma wasn’t up for a chat during the special house call but her family and friends were happy to share their stories.

Erma’s neighbor of 26 years, Kim Schultz, has witnessed myriad changes through the years. She told the Mountain Democrat Erma has been constant in her love of the neighborhood children. “She has this basket, it used to be toys but now it’s candy.

All the neighborhood kids would stop in to see Erma and get some candy,” Schultz recounted. “And she still does this. The kids come by and she loves visiting with the kids as they frolic on the lawn.”

Erma also still takes daily walk up and down the street. “She’s

the sweetest, kindest, gentlest woman you would ever want to know,” said Schultz. A regular at Bella Bru, Erma stops in every morning for a cup of coffee. “Erma’s not a fussy type and she doesn’t like fanfare.” n

Student essay writers impress DAR judges News release

F

our students from El Dorado Hills and Carmichael were awarded bronze medals for their winning essays marking the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The contest was sponsored locally by the Charlotte Parkhurst Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Folsom. One essay at each grade level was selected as the chapter winner in the ceremony held Jan. 24 at the Folsom Veterans Hall.

Winning essays were submitted by Samantha Vieira, fifth grade, Lakeview Elementary School, El Dorado Hills; Lyzee Claire Voight, sixth grade, Victory Christian School in Carmichael; Janae Drummond, seventh grade; John Adams Academy, El Dorado Hills; and Peyton Oxford, eighth grade, John Adams Academy, El Dorado Hills.

Students were asked to imagine losing a brother on the battlefields of France during World War I and then attending the Nov. 11, 1921, dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C. They were asked to describe what this meant to them and their family, and why it is important to remember those who gave their lives to serve the nation.

Students in fifth through eighth grade in public, private and parochial schools or those who are homeschoolers were eligible to enter the contest. More than 20 students from the region participated in the contest. The four winning essays recently selected as chapter winners will be forwarded to the California State American history chair for state competition. After reading each of their winning essays aloud at the ceremony, the students were awarded a certificate and a bronze medal. n

Youth to tackle hunger Super Bowl Sunday News release While millions of Americans are gearing up for Super Bowl LVI watch parties, some local youth are prepping for Super Bowl Sunday in a different way.

Faith Episcopal Church’s youth group will celebrate Youth Sunday Feb. 13 by battling hunger in El Dorado County.

The youth group will hold its annual food drive for the Food Bank of El Dorado County and encourages everyone to drop off non-perishable food donations prior to the big game.

According to the National Retail Federation, which has been conducting its annual Super Bowl spending survey

since 2005, Americans were expected to spend $14.1 billion on the Super Bowl last year. The majority of the spending is on food and beverages. Conversely, many residents in El Dorado County experience hunger or food insecurity.

The FEC youth group food drive is one of the largest single-day donation drives supporting the food bank. Last year, with community support, youth collected 1.66 tons (or 3,320 pounds) of food. This year, the youth group wants to break that record and collect even more food for the hungry in the community, with everyone’s help. Additionally, $1,800 in cash donations was collected, all of which went to the Food Bank of El Dorado County.

The group invites community members to donate food and attend youth-led worship services at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 13. Parishioners and community members can drop off food in the parking lot of the church. Youth will accept canned and non-perishable food donations from 8 a.m. to noon. The food bank needs boxed cereals and pastas, canned soups, fruits, vegetables and meats.

Join Faith Episcopal Church youth in helping beat hunger in El Dorado County this Super Bowl Sunday. The church is located at 2200 Country Club Drive in Cameron Park. For more information email faithec@faithec.org.

Technology in health care is evolving on a daily, if not minute to minute basis. It’s hard to imagine the wide range of electronic devices and computer systems hospitals and medical clinics depend on.

“IT (information technology) is crucial to patient care,” explained Jamie Johnson, executive director of Marshall Foundation for Community Health. “Without computers and internet service, as an example, it would be close to impossible to run a hospital. Now think about all of the other systems like electronic medical records, communications, cybersecurity — the list goes on. Every employee, provider and department in a medical system has their own unique technological needs. In short, health care is dependent on good technology and IT department employees.

Martin Daly, Marshall Medical Center’s VP of IT, reported that his department fielded more than 30,000 help desk requests last year, as well as managed 50 special projects.

“That doesn’t include the thousands of electronic devices, equipment and system programs we manage,” he added. “I have 33 employees and we are constantly working to maintain and improve Marshall’s tech, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I have an amazing team.”

Keeping up with the ever-changing needs of Marshall Hospital and its clinics means constant pivoting and innovation on the part of the IT department. When COVID-19 reared its head in late 2019, Marshall had to find ways to quickly adjust. Telehealth was no longer considered a luxury; it was imperative for patient care.

“Telehealth capabilities were always

something we wanted to offer, but other needs kept taking priority so we weren’t there yet. Then COVID hit, and all of a sudden we had to figure it out, without a budget for it,” explained Daly. “So I reached out to Marshall Foundation for Community Health.

We needed iPads for our providers so that they could see patients virtually.”

Within days, the foundation had come through.

“We were able to purchase 90 iPads for Marshall, enough for providers, as well as some for ICU patients and their families,” Johnson shared. “At the time, visitation was completely out of the question and there were patients and families who needed to be able to see each other. Sadly, sometimes for the last time. At least with the iPads, families could see their loved ones virtually and tell them they love them.”

In 2021 Daly applied for another grant. “Jamie and his team made the grant process so easy that I decided to reach out to them again last year for laptops for my field team,” he said. “Marshall has clinics and offices in El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville and Georgetown. The team needed their own computers that they could take with them in order to support the employees and devices. Otherwise, they would have to interrupt other employees so that they could borrow their computers.”

Marshall Foundation for Community Health’s Grant Committee approved his request for $6,000 for the mobile workstations.

Daly’s staff was grateful. “It is super efficient during standby to have this laptop, especially if there is a power outage and we aren’t able to remote to our own work computer. In addition to being able to check the queue for any ■

new help requests while I am out and about, it comes in really handy.

“The laptops are very helpful while working in the field,” Daly continued.

“Having them on hand allows us to update the service tickets we are working on in a timely fashion. It helps that we don’t have to look for an available computer in a clinic, where there is limited computer availability.

It also helps to have a backup for my home computer while we are on call or need to work from home.“ “Marshall Foundation for Community Health has been supporting Marshall Medical Center and the health of El Dorado County’s

west slope residents since 1974,” Johnson shared. “We understand that a healthy community is a strong community. The healthier our neighbors are, the healthier our local economy is, for example. If folks can’t go to work, businesses suffer. A handful of laptops may not sound like much, but the impact they have made for Marshall’s staff and the efficiency of the workflow created makes a difference.”

The Schmer family has touched many parts of El Dorado Hills’s evolution, one of which involved her son, Doug, who claims to be the first to spray paint the iconic rock on El Dorado Hills Boulevard, before there were two and before it was moved from the west side of the street.

“They were building the Copper Hill apartments, recounted Schultz. “It was just the one rock on the other side.” Doug was a Ponderosa High School

student and painted “Pondo High School” on the rock in hopes of infuriating incoming Oak Ridge freshmen before their school opened for the first time.

Over the years, Erma has regularly contributed to the community, whether through her former job as an instructional aide in the elementary schools or with staying current on neighborhood concerns.

During the 20 years he served as general manager,

Wayne Lowery recalled fielding many a phone call from Erma. “She only called when she had issue,” he said. “The last time she asked, ‘Why don’t we have a cemetery in El Dorado Hills? I don’t want to live anywhere else after I pass.’”

“She was always very friendly, very outgoing,” insisted friend and former Brooks Elementary School teacher Cynthia Lowery. “Everybody just loves her. She’s a special lady.”

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) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case VAD.077-214. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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) 683-2468, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case VAD.077-214 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.
