Friends of Julianna Abballo, the 14-year-old victim of a fatal hit-and-run along Carson Road in Camino, embrace each other in mourning for their lost friend at a vigil at Camino School Thursday evening.
Community mourns loss of Julianna’s joyful spirit

t was an evening of remembrance and grieving for Camino community members who came together at a candlelight vigil for Julianna Abballo, the 14-year-old who was tragically killed in a hit-and-run last week. Held at Camino Elementary School on Snows Road Thursday, family, friends and classmates who knew Julianna came out to support the Abballo family. “We are going through every parent’s nightmare with this,” said Christian Abballo, father of Julianna, speaking to the crowd of supporters. Julianna’s life was taken Feb. 8 as

she walked along Carson Road past Barkley Road in Camino. A Pollock Pines man, 23-year-old Anthony Smith, faces manslaughter and DUI charges related to the hit-and-run. Those at the vigil embraced as tears fell, mourning the tragic loss. “Let’s remember her for what she was. She wouldn’t want anyone to be sad,” Christian said. “The best thing for us to do to remember our daughter is to do the things she would want you to do — the first thing she would do is smile.” One of many of Julianna’s friends who also spoke at the vigil said she always thought of Julianna as “having a great big smile on her face.” “She was always so positive and loving,” she said. “Everyone always
“Let’s remember her for what she was. She wouldn’t want anyone to be sad.” — Christian Abballo, father of Julianna enjoyed her company and made everyone laugh.” Christian told mourners Julianna was a happy person, remembering her “goofy” laugh and how she “lit up the room” wherever she went. Her friends, longtime and new, described her as “full of joy,” fun-going and one of the sweetest individuals they ever met. n

El Dorado County will work on COVID-19 community recovery with a Texas-based health consulting company headed by Colleen Bridger, former San Antonio city manager and San Antonio Metropolitan Health District director. The consulting services will last through May 31, 2023. The county agreed to pay $248,864 from county coronavirus response and relief funds, which needs to be spent by May 2023. Bridger will work to understand the toll of the pandemic on county communities and develop a five-year recovery plan, with an emphasis on high-risk and underserved community populations. At Tuesday’s El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting, county program manager and epidemiologist Olivia ByronCooper said uncertainty in differences in how county subpopulations, varied by age and zip code, fare with any illness is a driving factor in contracting with Bridger. Byron-Cooper listed communities such as Georgetown, Somerset and South Lake Tahoe as areas of particular concern with health discrepancies. “We can use this funding to help us figure out why those differences exist and what we might be able to do about them,” Byron-Cooper told supervisors. Byron-Cooper said that Bridger’s work with rural counties and particular expertise in root/ cause analysis are the reasons Health and Human Services staff recommends her firm. “I would really like this consultant to lead us through a process involving all of our partners, the board and the public in figuring out what we can do as n

Volunteers needed for point-in-time count Mountain Democrat staff Volunteers are needed for a point-intime count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in El Dorado County. An effort led by El Dorado County Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care, the count is planned for Feb. 23 on the West Slope and Feb. 24 in South Lake Tahoe. Point-in-time counts are taken from 5-7 a.m. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires each Continuum of Care nationwide to conduct the count to help determine future available state and federal funding to help support homeless people. In 2019 the count identified 613 homeless persons in El Dorado County, according to HUD

data. The count includes people who on the night of the count are: Sheltered (living in emergency shelters or transitional housing) or Unsheltered (staying outdoors or places not designed for habitation including vehicles, streets, parks and abandoned buildings) According to the El Dorado County Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care point-in-time count informational website at sites.google.com/edcgov.us/2022-pitcount/home, the data gathered from the census shows not only how many people are homeless in El Dorado County but who is homeless and why. “The (point-in-time count) presents a great opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges our homeless citizens face, hear personal experiences from

Volunteers will conduct surveys of people experiencing homelessness either on paper or via an app on their mobile devices. Prior to the count volunteers will select a preferred region and sign up as a group or individual participant. Completion of online point-in-time count training is required for volunteers. The training includes information on how to engage vulnerable populations, basic information about the point-in-time count and homelessness in El Dorado County and how to complete surveys via a mobile app. A link to this training will be made available to all registered volunteers.

Debra (Debbie) Lynn Morris (née Davidson) July 13, 1953 – Feb. 8, 2022
Le Roy F. Wallin Jr.
Sept. 29, 1933 – Feb. 3, 2022
Le Roy F. Wallin Jr., 88, passed away Feb. 3 in El Dorado Hills. Le was born Sept. 29, 1933 to his parents Le Roy F. Wallin Sr. and Thyra (Hagberg) Wallin in Chicago, Ill. Le and Elaine met when they were 15 at Westminster Presbyterian Lodge in Saugatuck, Mich., where he was a lifeguard. On New Year’s Eve they drove through a snowstorm to Indiana to get married and then flew to Los Angeles. The trip took days and the small plane was sputtering and leaking oil. They finally made it and landed in sunny California. While in L.A., they had two daughters, Sherry and Ann. Le loved the outdoors and in 1960 he took his family to El Dorado Hills. There they had a son, Le Roy. Le was a mechanical engineer working for Aerojet and then Douglas Aircraft. He worked on the Apollo Space program. In the 1970s, he started his own business, “Wallin Machine Company,” where he engaged with aerospace companies as well as new technology for medical devices. Le and Elaine have many long lasting friendships — they boated, square danced, camped and traveled with their friends. Le was president of TBSA motorcycle club and wrote humorous articles for the club’s newsletter. Le and Elaine are charter members of St. Stephens Lutheran Church. He served on the church council, was the Sunday School Superintendent, taught Sunday School and volunteered at Vacation Bible School. Le is survived by his loving wife of 70 years, Elaine; daughters Sherry Spencer (Bob) and Ann Tanger (Jon) and son Le Roy F. Wallin III (Cindy). He has five grandchildren; David Spencer (Kim), Matthew Spencer (Vivien), Bonnie Kassebaum (Dan), Trevor Wallin (Aubrie) and Christopher Tanger (Jessica). He has nine great-grandchildren and two more great-grandchildren are due soon. A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday Feb. 19 at St. Stephens Lutheran Church in El Dorado Hills at 1001 Olson Lane.

Debra (Debbie) Lynn Morris (née Davidson), aged 68, went to Heaven to be with her Lord Feb. 8, after her “old foe cancer” returned in September of last year. She was the youngest child of Samuel (Bow) and Elva Davidson, born in Lodi on July 13, 1953. She grew up in Galt; performing acrobatics with her brother Ronnie and graduated from Galt High in 1971 where she was a majorette and ran track. She married her love of a lifetime Edward Morris, on May 1, 1972. She and Ed resided in Rescue for over 45 years and prior to that they lived in Represa and Folsom. Debra was a homemaker and endearing wife and mother for almost 50 years and proud of it! Along with enjoying time with family, she was a master of crochet, loved dancing at weddings, gardening, camping, playing the slot machines, Scattergories, puzzles, investigation shows and her AM radio stations. She loved her travels to Tahoe, Alaska, Canada, Oklahoma, Missouri and the East Coast (amongst others) but her favorite place was at her beautiful home in Rescue, where she proudly chose to raise her family. She is preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Elva; brothers Darrell, Samuel and Michael; and extended family members Cheryl Morris, Lenard and Eunice Morris, Fonda and John Wallace, Linda Tucker and Brian Lincoln.

Debra touched many lives in her 68 years she shared with us on Earth and her memory will always warm our hearts and bring a smile to our faces. She never met anyone who didn’t like her. She was a devout Christian and strongly believed in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and read the Bible every morning. Her unfaltering faith will continue to be an inspiration to those who knew her. Thank you for sharing her with us, Lord. Enjoy the party up in Heaven, Ma. “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart,” Proverbs 3:5 Services will be held Feb. 15, Noon, at Green Valley Mortuary in Rescue

State to drop indoor mask mandate for vaccinated Tahoe Daily Tribune Last week Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state’s indoor mask mandate for vaccinated people will be dropped once the requirement expires Feb. 15. Masks will still be the rule for schoolchildren and the indoor requirement will still be in place for people unvaccinated. The governor announced via Twitter the state’s case rate decreased 65% since the peak of Omicron and that hospitalizations have stabilized across the state. State officials also announced that highrisk areas, such as public transit or nursing homes, will still require a mask — vaccinated or not — and that large indoor events with more than 1,000 people must require proof of vaccination or a negative test. Outdoor events with more than 10,000 people will have no vaccination requirement, but masks are recommended. California counties will have the right to continue their policies, should they feel the need to retain stricter efforts. The city of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County are expected to fall in line with the state’s expiration recommendation.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

a county to improve health outcomes of all our residents,” Byron-Cooper said. “This is an opportunity for us to do something we have never done before.” Chair/District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin questioned why more staff could not be hired to do the work or why a consulting firm in California could not be found. “We have a lot of folks in our county who have been reaching out to people in remote areas and I think there are a lot of people who have been in touch with rural residents,” Parlin said. “I’m concerned about bringing in someone not here locally.” Byron-Cooper did not recommend hiring more staff to do the work, calling that action “unsustainable,” and discouraged current Public Health Division staff to take on the additional responsibilities due to a lack of “capacity and expertise.” Parlin also said Bridger came with “baggage” from her original position in San Antonio, which District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel rebutted, stating there were alarming leadership changes at the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District. Nonprofit journalism outfit San Antonio Report reported on some of these changes and that Bridger meant to leave her posts with the city to start her consulting firm. Residents who wrote in for and spoke during public comment shared Parlin’s sentiments regarding filling the position more locally. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl, who mentioned Barton Health supports the collaboration with the consulting firm, questioned if the county had the resources to make improvements in public health after the one-time funding runs out.
“A lot of times you get one-time funding and then you find out there is nothing to back it up,” Hidahl said. “It’s always a choice of how many staff are you going to put in and what is going to go away because of sustainable funding.” Byron-Cooper responded that training current staff to do root/cause analysis work is key for this action. District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said after some convincing she approved of working with Bridger despite concerns about cost and the consulting firm not being California based. “There is value in digging in and understanding our local data and our local needs,” Thomas said. “So many times these larger studies do not relate to rural El Dorado County. It’s important to have the data locally so we can make the best decisions going forward.” After the board’s discussion, Novasel made a motion to approve of the agreement, seconded by Thomas. Hidahl then made a second motion to approve the contract with the consulting firm, with an added feature to include Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton to review changes to the scope of services and agreements and to go to the Board of Supervisors with any contract changes, recommended by county Auditor and Controller Joe Harn. The original wording of the recommendation would have allowed Health and Human Services Agency Director Don Semon to make amendments to the contract without coming back to the Board of Supervisors for review. The second motion was approved in a 3-2 vote, with Novasel and Parlin casting ‘no’ votes.

California Commentary
California is the mad scientist of bad policy
I
f these United States are 50 laboratories of democracy, then California is the mad scientist of farleft policies. That was recently evident as some of the session’s most controversial bills tried to clear the Assembly and continue through JON COUPAL the legislative process. From a bill to impose “sector-wide minimum standards” for wages, hours and working conditions at fast-food chains (that unfortunately passed the Assembly and now heads to the Senate) to forcing owners of rent-controlled apartment buildings to stay in that business for at least five years — even if they were losing money (that fortunately failed to garner enough support), the Legislature’s radicalism was on full display. But those measure were small potatoes compared to Assembly Bill 1400, which would have required the state to provide healthcare coverage for residents, after abolishing all private The recent health insurance and Medicare. debacles at the Fortunately, AB state’s Employment 1400 also failed to get enough support Development in the Assembly to Department and move on, but we’re likely to see it again. our DMV system The state’s Democratic are enough to Party has added singlepayer health care to prove that the state its platform and the government has Progressive Caucus no business trying of the California Democratic Party has to run everyone’s vowed not to endorse health care. any candidate who opposes single-payer health care. That’s why it’s important to make clear why such a proposal should never be considered again. First, the taxes necessary to implement such a program would be astronomical. The author of AB 1400 proposed raising taxes by $163 billion a year, but the actual cost could be upward of $391 billion per year, according to the staff report from the Assembly Appropriations Committee. For reference, the total amount of healthcare spending in California, from all sources, was an estimated $330.7 billion in 2021 and the governor’s 2022-23 proposed budget is only $286.4 billion ■

Letters to the Editor Report loose dogs EDITOR: n Sunday, Jan. 16, Jackson, our 16-monthold Jack Russell terrier, was brutally attacked and killed in our front yard (near Starkes Grade and Grizzly Run) by two loose dogs. Jackson was a bundle of energy. He loved to play with the grandkids, hike, play fetch and accompany us on trail rides with our horses. In his short life he summited three local peaks — Ralston, Pyramid and Thunder Mountain. He was our constant companion who accompanied us for every family gathering and social events. He brought joy to both stranger and friend alike and was loved by all who knew him. Our loss is crushing. We’d like to make sure that an incident like this never happens to your pet or child. Please report all loose dogs to Animal Service. Email animal. services@edcgov.us or call: (530) 621-7634. Photos or videos that help identify the loose dog(s) helps. JULIA ABELA Pollock Pines

Libraries are for more than reading EDITOR: ’m writing a new year appreciation for all the fine work done by our El Dorado County public library system, especially their outstanding Caldor Fire response. Looking online and talking with Angela Bernoudy, Georgetown Library’s superb branch manager, I learned our libraries are at this moment doing even more emergency community service. The Georgetown Library, even without power through the year due to PSPS shutoffs, has been open and serving the community as a cooling and charging center on top of its usual services. During our record-breaking winter storm, the Placerville library opened extra hours and served as a warming and charging center and Georgetown ramped up its work as a community lifeline. Georgetown staff and volunteers distributed emergency supplies, including meal kits, drinking water, baby supplies, fresh produce, pet food and even snow shovels and winter clothing.
I
Even more “above and beyond,” library employee Naomie Harris delivered supplies to residents of the Chiquita Trailer park who were completely locked in by the storm. I want to express my gratitude for our public library system that serves everyone in quiet times and in crises. It will always be a place to enjoy books and newspapers, magazines and manga, movies and reference materials, both in-person and online. The library is also one of the only places where we can access the internet at no charge, for all our business, social and educational needs. The library system connects us with free online classes to gain skills. Libraries support literacy and health in fun ways — last December all the branches distributed free COVID-19 tests, Cameron Park library had a free drive-thru book giveaway and El Dorado Hills Library gave away books with a cup of cocoa. The library is a free place for children to hear stories, adults to discuss books and teens to enjoy programs like 3D print labs and getting volunteer experience. There are many informational talks at all the county’s libraries by a wide variety of organizations. The library provides space for studying, tutoring, knitting, game playing and, at Georgetown, outdoor movie nights. With the addition of Community Hubs, the library now works with agencies to become a place where we can get medical care and help with other needs. The Placerville library hosted school for kids and helped adults cast their votes when displaced in the Caldor Fire. Librarians helped everyone access vaccination services and during the shutdown were sometimes the only friendly voices home-bound seniors would hear through the “friendly chat” service. I offer my heartfelt thanks to all the library workers, volunteers and fundraising friends who go above and beyond supporting the whole community. SARA SCHWARTZ & C.R. KENDALL Library patron and D. 4 library commissioner

Battle of Iwo Jima and the most famous WWII photo
T
he Battle of Iwo Jima began Feb. 19, 1945, concluding on March 26. The Japanese were dug in with a tunnel system in the extinct volcano. They had an artillery battery on Mount Surabachi MICHAEL that would fire on the beach and damaged some ships. Some ships were sunk. The artillery battery would withdraw behind closed iron doors. There were 21,000 Japanese troops and only 216 surrendered. The U.S. had 26,000 casualties and 6,800 dead in the 36-day assault. There were two flag raising on Mount Surabachi in Iwo Jima. A general claimed the first one. A larger flag and taller pole were used for the second flag raising, made famous by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, who won the Pulitzer Prize for the photo. More than that, he achieved lasting fame as did those who raised that flag. A large bronze statue in Alexandria,
Va., memorializes Rosenthal’s flag raising photo. Questions have been raised about the strategic value of Iwo Jima. The Japanese continued radar monitoring of U.S. bombers from another island that was not invaded. The 6,000-foot RAFFETY landing strip has 5,550 feet of pavement. It served as an emergency landing strip for the B-29 Superfortress. A total of 2,200 bombers landed there and saved 24,000 lives. Capturing Iwo Jima kept the Japanese from using it to attack the B-29s. Iwo Jima was turned over to the Japanese government in 1968. It is now occupied by 335 Japanese Air Force and Navy personnel as well as 25 from the U.S. Coast Guard. Although the Japanese are still searching for their war dead on Iwo Jima, some of the tunnels have collapsed. Coming up with column subjects has been a challenge. What inspired me to write monthly reminders of

Iwo Jima was turned over to the Japanese government in 1968 .... Although the Japanese are still searching for their war dead on Iwo Jima, some of the tunnels have collapsed. what happened in each month of the year in World War II was visiting the USS Arizona Memorial. We also visited the Battleship Missouri, on which the Imperial Japanese Army signed the surrender documents in Tokyo Harbor Sept. 2, 1945. As part of the ticket to take the boat to the USS Arizona we received a brochure titled “World War II Valor in the Pacific.” On one side was maps and information about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. On the other side was a map of the Pacific with some dates about key battles. ••• Writing editorials when I was working full time was a different challenge. I started out with a subject and a general idea of what I wanted to say, but as I began writing ideas just came to me that I didn’t expect. The best explanation for such a creative process comes from Paul’s letter to the (1) Corinthians (12:1-
11): “Now there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but the same God who activates them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each individually just as the Spirit chooses.” Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

Despite trailing 1-0 early in the first round of the Division III Sac Joaquin Section playoffs Thursday, the No. 8 seeded Ponderosa Bruins struck back and defeated No. 9 Pacheco High School 3-2. “It was very nerve wracking but we closed them out, shut them down and we are moving on to Patterson next,” said junior goalkeeper Preston Parsons. The Bruins came out of the gates firing with strong attacks yet Pacheco took the early 1-0 lead in the ninth minute. “As a staff we reminded our guys we’ve been on the attack for the last 10 minutes, we made a simple mistake, (let’s) get right back into the attack,” said Ponderosa head coach Brad Silverbush. One minute later junior Reese Fletcher got his chance, receiving a header from junior Dylan Richardson and putting it into the back of the net for his third goal of the season. The Bruins kept on the attack and in the 20th minute on a corner kick, junior Hunter Edwards was shoved and went down in front of the goal, earning his team a penalty kick. “I’m a believer that the guy that got fouled, if he wants it, he can have it,” Silverbush said. “And he buried it.” Edwards lined up, looked to his right and shot the ball to the left, right into the back of the net for his sixth goal of the year to give his team a 2-1 lead.
“I needed to keep my composure,” Edwards said. “I needed to put it away for the team, for the win.” The game remained 2-1 until the 52nd minute when senior Yahir Ruiz scored his fourth goal of the season. “The way Yahir scored that goal was gorgeous,” Silverbush said. “They possessed the ball and he set the kid up. He thought the kid was gonna go by with his feet and Yahir just picked his pocket, turned around and put it in the far post.” The Bruins led 3-1 and with each goal came a bigger celebration on the field as teammates ran over to congratulate playmakers. “Our fight with this team never ends and that’s what kept us going,” said junior Jacob Berg. Pacheco made it a game by scoring in the 71st minute but the Bruins ran out the remaining nine minutes to complete the 3-2 win. The Bruins relied on several sophomores — Aaron Streeter, Alex Zimmerman and Eoin Wright to play big roles and they came up big, according to Silverbush. In goal, Parsons came into the game allowing just .464 goals per game and got the job done, recording seven saves. “Preston was very good,” Berg said. “It’s always comforting knowing he’s back there and you can trust him at any point of the game.” Up next the Bruins will travel about 100 miles Tuesday to take on the undefeated No. 1 seed Patterson. “We’re going into it as underdogs and we’re ready for it,” Berg said. “We want to go all the way.”

Realizing the implications, you are not sure if you want to jump at the opportunity for more power. Authority implies responsibility for others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Socially, you have many options today. Don’t be discouraged by those who seem to relish creating doubt. To surround yourself with positive people is to live in sunshine. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This isn’t a fairytale but a love story, full of magic stitched into the details with golden thread. Tend to the little things and the big picture shimmers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Affection comes in many forms. It can feel like butterflies that accompany high hopes of connection, the pangs of longing or something similar to what you feel when you see food coming at a restaurant. It’s all good! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love is a verb. Today you are likely to work love, play love, dance love and speak love today. Just don’t buy love because if it’s for sale, it’s probably not love.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a skilled sculptor, shaping relationships and turning them into works of art. The choices you make will define your love, and the actions you take will confirm it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Despite knowing that the person who cares the least in the relationship has the most control, you would rather care more and submit to the wide array of feelings attachment can produce. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be attracted to the person who challenges you. You’ll sing the song, play the game, meet the challenge ... and then you’ll do it all over again at the next level and then the next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While you are inspired and impressed by people with noble qualities, it is also important to be around people who make you feel like you belong and are accepted. You’ll get the best of both worlds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). True happiness is impossible to achieve in isolation; it is dependent upon the contentment of others. You’ll have evidence of their contentment today, fortifying your sunshine agenda. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Like every other human, you occasionally experience moments of self-doubt. Yet you show up, a beacon of competence, ready to take on the challenge. The power of your presence attracts love.

There are a lot of candies on Valentine’s Day. And, to protect your teeth and health, we suggest using some of them for science experiments!
Here’s some heart-healthy work outs to try this month! Can you do at least one of these each day for one week?
STUFF YOU’LL NEED:
STUFF YOU’LL NEED:
water
pencil
clear cup
lollipop
WHAT TO DO:
1. Place a Valentine’s Day lollipop in a clear cup. Draw a picture of the lollipop in the cup here:
water
clear cups
Valentine candies
WHAT TO DO:
1. Get three or four different kinds of Valentine’s Day candy and one cup for each kind. 2. Fill each cup halfway with water. 3. Drop a different kind of candy in each cup. 4. Check the candy every 15 minutes to observe how it has changed. Describe with words or pictures how the candies change each 15 minutes. 15 MINUTES: 30 MINUTES: 45 MINUTES: 60 MINUTES:
Run in place for 60 seconds. Rest for 60 seconds. Then run in place for three minutes. Stand very still and place your hand on your chest and feel your heart pumping!
2. Add water to fill the cup halfway. Draw a picture of the lollipop in the cup with water here:
WHAT YOU ARE OBSERVING IS SOLUBILITY (There’s a great science word!)
Play your favorite song three times in a row and dance, dance, dance!
When something dissolves in water, it is called soluble. Different things dissolve at different times. And some things don’t dissolve at all.
What is different between the two pictures? Scientists are good observers. Test your powers of observation with this game for three or more players.
1. Pick a picture or drawing in the newspaper. 2. Players take turns telling a fact or detail about it. 3. When a player can’t add a new fact, he or she is out. Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow written directions.
STUFF YOU’LL NEED: Why do you think the lollipop looks different in the cup with water?
clear cup
candy hearts
club soda Hold this paragraph up to a mirror to discover the science behind this experiment!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Fill the cup with club soda (any clear carbonated soda will work). 2. Drop a few candy hearts into the cup. 3. Do some hearts flip or float? Keep observing.
WHAT’S HAPPENING?
The carbon dioxide soda creates bubbles that form on the hearts. If enough bubbles form, the candy is lifted towards the surface. But as bubbles pop, the candy sinks again until more bubbles form.

Diamondbacks 2nd in league, hungry for playoffs Thomas Frey Staff writer DIAMOND SPRINGS — The roar of the crowd’s applause was close to deafening inside the Snake Pit at Union Mine High School Tuesday night as the boys basketball team honored its six seniors — Sam McVeigh, Nate DeVille, Nick Donlan, Donovan Duran, John Murphy and Austin Sweeney prior to the regular season finale against Liberty Ranch with a league championship on the line. “I love those guys,” said Union Mine head coach Ryan Williams. “They work their butts off and are all great kids. I’m so proud of them.” The seniors were going for their fourth straight league title across all levels but finished second in the Sierra Valley Conference after narrowly losing to a very good Liberty Ranch team 64-59. “We understand it is a tough loss,” McVeigh said. “We know we’ve got to keep our heads up for playoffs and the ultimate goal is to get to Golden 1 for the section championship.” A section crown has been the goal for the team since the season tipped off. The seniors have done nothing but win in their time as Diamondbacks. They won a Sierra Valley Conference title on the freshman team in 2018-19. Then on junior varsity in 2019-20 they went undefeated in league again to win a SVC title.

Union Mine seniors John Murphy, Nick Donlan, Donovan Duran, Sam McVeigh, Nate DeVille and Austin Sweeney, from left, top right photo, were honored at the last home league game of the regular season. Union Mine head coach Ryan Williams, right bottom photo, hugs senior Nate DeVille pregame during senior night ceremonies. The Diamondbacks lost narrowly to Liberty Ranch and will now prepare for section playoffs. They got the call up to varsity as juniors, where they again won a league title. As seniors, the team sits with a 21-7 record heading into the playoffs. The 21 wins are tied for the most at the school since the 26-win team in 200607. In the four years on campus across all levels, this senior class has a 71-21 overall record including a 31-4 record in league play and an 8-1 record against rival El Dorado. “Brotherhood is a good word that sums it up,” said DeVille, who
knocked down three 3-pointers Tuesday. “We’re a resilient group and I think we’re going to show that in the next few weeks.” Union Mine played Liberty Ranch on the road earlier this season and was down by 20 before falling 63-48. The Diamondbacks almost matched that total before halftime with 41 at the break Tuesday. “I think that shows them the kind of guys they are in terms of responding to the last game,” Williams said. The Hawks held a 52-51 lead heading
into the fourth quarter, where every possession felt important. Junior guards Mason Mottashed and Kendrick Burks were dealing. Mottashed finished with 29 points and four 3-pointers while Burks had 12 points and three 3-point baskets. On the other end of the floor Liberty Ranch kept trying to get the ball to its 6-foot-7 big man Cody Smith. He came into the evening averaging 15.4 points per game and the Diamondbacks gave Smith their best shot. Sweeney, Donlan
and Murphy took turns putting a body on Smith. They held Smith below his season average while keeping him from getting offensive rebounds. “We worked on being a little more physical with him,” Williams said. “They are highly capable of going against that guy.” The game was knotted up at 58 with three minutes to play before Liberty Ranch pulled away for the 64-59 win and the league crown. As the clock neared triple zeros, agony was written on the face of each member of the
Union Mine basketball team. When they left the locker room postgame that agony had turned into a hunger to get back to work for the playoffs, which begin Feb. 18. “I think they understand the team that wins the section championship is a team that gets better over the next 10 days,” said Union Mine head coach Ryan Williams. “We have a long break so the next 10 days are huge in terms of improvement.” Playoff brackets were expected to be released over the weekend.

Attendees of Thursday night’s candlelight vigil for Julianna Abballo fill the quad at Camino School.
Vigil
Continued from A1
“It’s only been 24 hours since the death and it’s one of the worst pains I have ever felt,” one said tearfully. “I’m so sorry this happened to you. You don’t deserve it one bit.” Bouquets of flowers, candles and photos of Julianna decorated the quad area of the school. Some made cards giving their condolences to the Abballo family. Hervé Leconte, the Camino resident who lives next to where the hit-andrun occurred, recalled the events of
that tragic afternoon for mourners. “My wife Julie sat with her so she wouldn’t be alone,” Leconte said to the crowd. “I can see you are not alone either. We keep on going, knowing she was never alone.” Christian thanked everyone for the outpouring of support and requested one thing after speaking: “Please, in her honor, do something positive for someone so you can make their day,” Christian said. “Do that for my daughter.”

community.” Court Appointed Special Advocates are trained by CASA El Dorado staff and typically take on one case at a time, getting to know the child for whom they will advocate. They research living situations and gather facts to report back to the El Dorado County Superior Court Judge who can then make a better informed determination about services and support needed to better serve that child. “Advocates are information gatherers,” said South Lake Tahoe Senior Program Manager Mario Guerrero. “They visit the child the most often and are extremely important to the kids.” The advocates are trauma informed and willing to provide unconditional support to those at risk regardless of how the children behave toward them, according to Guerrero. “A child might be angry or lash out,” he said. In most cases these episodes are trauma responses or the kids testing advocates but these volunteers remain steady in their support for the children. “Sometimes it can be a challenge.” Senior Program Manager Michelle Vien has been with CASA El Dorado for 17 years. “I love what I do,” she said. “I’ve stayed

It’s been a pleasure.” Foster children served by CASA are less likely to remain, long term, in
the foster care system and those who exit the system are more likely to remain out of the system, according to information shared on CASA’s website. Those served by advocates tend to receive more services to appropriately help them recover from the abuse or neglect they have endured.
“There is story after story about kids in the system — stories of delinquency and other challenges — who are now going to college,” said CASA grant writer Dave Jarrell. Potential volunteer advocates must be older than 21 years of n

After two months off, The Divide Women’s Club will resume its monthly meetings at the Georgetown Community Center, 6329 Lower Main St., Georgetown. The next meeting will be at 10 a.m. Feb. 17. Since it has been decided to not have the annual spring fashion show this year, the agenda this month will include discussion about other suggested fund raising ideas and plans. All ideas and opinions are needed in order for the club to raise scholarship funds. Also on the agenda will be discussion about reprinting Lillian Lafaille’s book, “A Country Woman Remembers.” All women of the Divide are welcome to attend
and membership is open to all. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, September through May, and always open to the public. There is never a charge to attend a meeting. The mission of the Divide Women’s Club is to provide scholarships to Golden Sierra High School graduating seniors and other local services. Last year the club awarded scholarships to three very deserving students. One of the awards is in honor of Lillian Lafaille, who was raised in the Bayley Mansion, raising her family and spending her life on the Divide. For more information contact Ali Wenger at (510) 579-7960 or Carol Davis at (530) 320-0822. For those who are not vaccinated, masks are encouraged.

PG&E to customers
Stay safe and secure Valentine’s Day balloons In order to significantly reduce the number of balloon-caused outages and to help ensure that everyone can safely enjoy Valentine’s Day, PG&E reminds customers to follow these important safety tips for metallic balloons: • “Look Up and Live!” Use caution and avoid celebrating with metallic balloons near overhead electric lines. • Make sure helium-filled metallic balloons are securely tied to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away. Never remove the weight. • When possible, keep metallic balloons indoors. Never permit metallic balloons to be released outside, for everyone’s safety. • Do not bundle metallic balloons together. • Never attempt to retrieve any type of balloon, kite, drone or toy that becomes caught in a power line. Trying to retrieve it yourself is extremely dangerous. Leave it alone and immediately call PG&E at 1-800-7435000 to report the problem. Learn more safety tips at safetyactioncenter.pge.com.
News release With Valentine’s Day festivities taking place, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) reminds customers that nothing puts a damper on a romantic evening faster than a widespread power outage. If your holiday celebration includes metallic balloons, make sure they are securely tied with a weight to keep them from floating away. Metallic balloons that contact overhead power lines can disrupt electric service to an entire neighborhood, cause significant property damage and potentially result in serious injuries. In 2021 metallic balloons that drifted into PG&E power lines caused more than 600 outages, a 27% increase from the previous year and the highest number of balloonrelated outages that PG&E has seen in a decade. In 2021 in PG&E’s Sierra Division, balloons hitting overhead power lines caused 14 outages, disrupting power to more than 9,000 customers. “Balloons are a fun way to liven up holiday celebrations,

Foil balloons make a great Valentine’s Day gift but be sure they stay secure so they don’t float away and into power lines. but if they aren’t tied down with a weight it’s easy for them to float into overhead power lines and disrupt service to entire communities. Keep your holidays safe by ensuring metallic balloons are
secured by a weight,” said Jeff Deal, vice president, Electric Distribution, PG&E. The top six cities in PG&E’s coverage area that reported balloon-related outages in 2021 are San Jose, Fresno,
Bakersfield, Oakland, Richmond and Stockton. Sometimes these outages interrupt electric service to important facilities such as hospitals, schools and traffic lights.

for Community Health is a catalyst for a healthy El Dorado County and I want to support its philanthropic efforts. As the saying goes, ‘If you have your health, you have everything,’” Campbell shared. “If we have our physical, mental and emotional health as a community, we are a stronger county. “Marshall Foundation for Community Health has supported Marshall Medical Center and other
CASA
B5
community nonprofits since 1977,” she continued. “Our residents need Marshall Hospital and its clinics and Marshall Hospital needs us. For over 60 years, Marshall has provided quality care for our residents. Where would we be without the assurance that if we are ill we can depend on Marshall and its staff?” Last year the foundation provided more than $630,000 to health-related needs for the Western Slope of our
county, including almost $600,000 to Marshall. That wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated volunteer board and philanthropic-minded residents and businesses. Campbell is a volunteer powerhouse and local leader, serving other nonprofits in the area, including Mother Lode Rehabilitation Enterprises Inc., El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, El Dorado County Farm Trails Association, Apple
Hill Growers Association, Camino Community Action Committee, California Retired Teachers Association Division 73, El Dorado Ag in the Classroom, Images of Hope El Dorado, Pollock Pines-Camino Rotary Club and Hands4Hope Placerville Center.

age and pass a background check before entering the required 30 hours of training. Once volunteers complete training they are sworn in as officers of the court and assigned their first case. There are three types of CASA appointments — each with a different focus and time commitment. CASAs advocating for abused or neglected foster youth commit to approximately 20 hours a month for 18-24 months. Those advocating for at-risk teens in juvenile court will act as a mentor to a teen through their case that can last eight to 12 months. Family law appointments are 75-day commitments when advocates ensure parents take actions in the best interest of the child. Judges request the CASA look into specific issues and report back to the court, according to Program Director Rose Breitwieser. “We want to thank all of the staff, board members, advocates, friends of CASA and youth who have been with us for the past 30 years,” said Aguilar.
“As we go into the new year, we hope we can only grow our community and continue to advocate for abused, neglected and at risk youth.”
CASA history
The idea of court appointed advocates for at-risk youth came from a judge concerned about making determinations for the welfare of children without more information about the their situations. Seattle juvenile court judge David W. Soukup, while deliberating a case of an abused child, realized he didn’t have enough information to make a potentially life-changing decision for that child. “It terrified me to make decisions about kids when I didn’t have anybody there,” he said, explaining his idea was to provide trained volunteers who would speak up in the courtroom for the children’s best interests. He started the program in Seattle in 1977 and by
1982 the National CASA Association was formed. Just five years later more than 40,000 children had been served in 44 states. In 1991 CASA was authorized in the Victims of Child Abuse Act. Today the National CASA Association has an office in Washington, D.C., and celebrates more than 2 million children served by programs in every state.
Upcoming training Feb. 15-16 & Feb. 22-23, 2-4 p.m. March: 21-24, 5:30-8 p.m. April: 11-14, 5:30-8 p.m. May 23-25, 5:30-8 p.m. June 13-16, 2-4:30 p.m. For more information about CASA El Dorado or to donate or volunteer visit casaeldorado.org or call (530) 622-9882.
