Campaign aims to challenge FEMA decision Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County continues its mission to override the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s decision to deny individual assistance for residents impacted by the Caldor Fire. Bringing the topic to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting Feb. 8, District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo led the discussion to determine what more the county can do to unify county communities and state government to make a “strong” effort to obtain FEMA individual assistance. Turnboo brought to the table the idea of starting a public media campaign to raise awareness for El Dorado County’s need for individual assistance benefits. “The people who were in Grizzly Flat and others who were impacted by this fire feel like we got that support,” Turnboo said. “I think it needs to get out there in the public so everyone knows what is going on.” FEMA denied the county’s individual assistance request Oct. 8, 2021. The denial letter sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom states that while damage to infrastructure was “significant,” FEMA officials determined the impacts on residents and households “was not of such severity and magnitude to warrant the designation of individual assistance.” Caldor scorched more than 220,000 acres, destroyed more than 1,000 structures and leveled hundreds of Grizzly Flat homes. Cal OES sought to appeal FEMA’s decision later that month, and the county was yet again denied. President Joe Biden reportedly promised FEMA support to county Chief Administration Officer Don Ashton when he visited California Sept. 13, 2021, to view the damage caused by the Caldor Fire. County supervisors wrote a letter to the White House Sept. 30 to remind Biden of his promise but have received no response. Turnboo said other adjacent counties got FEMA support and even Colorado got $43.6 million in assistance from FEMA for the Marshall Fire. “I just don’t understand why we didn’t get that support,” Turnboo said. n

Anthony B. Smith is led into a Placerville courtroom Monday, Feb. 14, where he pleaded not guilty to charges in the death of 14-year-old Julianna Abballo.
Smith pleads not guilty in hitand-run that killed Camino girl n Anthony Smith was arrested
days before on DUI charges Thomas Frey Staff writer
Prosecutors say Anthony B. Smith was still intoxicated when he turned himself in Feb. 8, four hours after the SUV he was driving allegedly fatally struck Camino teenager Julianna Abballo as she walked along Carson Road. Smith, a 23-year-old Pollock Pines resident, entered a plea of not guilty at his arraignment in El Dorado County Superior Court Monday afternoon. Mike Pizzuti, representing the people, said when Smith turned himself in his blood alcohol level was 0.14. The legal limit is .08.
“Four hours later and still a 0.14?” Judge Mark Ralphs confirmed. “Yes,” Pizzuti replied. Pizzuti said four days before Julianna’s death Smith was arrested on suspicion of DUI. “That DUI event should have been fresh in his mind and acted as a deterrent,” Ralphs said before announcing that Smith’s bail would be set at $300,000. Pizzuti asked that higher bail be set but it was to no avail. “We believe the fact that he drank and put the public at risk on both occasions makes him a flight risk,” Pizzuti said. “Knowing that he was going to be going into custody, he did go spend some time with his kids,” n

Organic waste collection enforcement on the horizon Sel Richard Staff writer “Senate Bill 1383 is the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in California in the PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
last 30 years,” said El Dorado County Director of Environmental Management Jeff Warren at last week’s El Dorado Hills Community Council Meeting. The bill requires the state to reduce organic waste disposal by 75%, more than 20 million tons annually, by 2025. In addition, 20% of current disposed edible food must be recovered for human consumption. Organic waste includes green waste, wood waste, food waste and fibers such as paper and cardboard. Warren revealed that organic waste comprises more than half of the waste stream and explained that organic waste in landfills leads to anaerobic breakdown of that material, creating
methane. “Landfills are responsible for about 21% of the state’s methane emissions,” Warren said, noting that landfills are the third largest producer of methane in the state. “Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year horizon. Landfill and organic waste is a significant source of local air quality pollutants.” Reducing global warming gases is the impetus for SB 1383, touted by supporters as a fast-track to fighting climate change. By reducing this gas through actions like organic waste recycling, state leaders claim it will significantly reduce emissions and the impacts of climate

change in a lifetime. Regulations took effect Jan. 1 of this year. However, in 2021, Senate Bill 619 gave relief to jurisdictions from being in violation as the pandemic slowed the process of implementation. In 2024 jurisdictions will be required to take enforcement action on non-compliant entities. Programs to be implemented include mandatory organic waste curbside collection services to all residents and businesses, education and outreach efforts, procurement of a certain level of compost, renewable gas produced from organic waste, purchase of recycled content paper products and an edible food recovery program for all

Thomas Orlando Krauss
USDA Forest Service
Dec. 21, 1963 – Jan. 29, 2022
Tom was called to his heavenly home at the age of 58. Born Dec. 21, 1963 in San Jose, Calif., Tom was the oldest of three children born to Helmut and Undine Krauss. Tom graduated from Independence High School in 1982. He owned a landscaping business The Lawn Ranger, was a real estate agent, a groundskeeper for a Baptist Church in San Jose, worked for a large property management company in Sacramento and since May 2020 as pro sales specialist at Lowe’s in Folsom, Calif. Tom loved his family and family celebrations. He enjoyed cooking and barbecuing. He was a most loyal friend and always concerned with how he could help. Most of all, Tom loved and was totally dedicated to his son Michael. They barbecued, baked, rode bikes, frequented Apple Hill and most of the festivals, planted fruits and vegetables, went to baseball games and air shows, train rides, rock climbing and so much more. We are so blessed to have had Tom in our lives. We miss him so very much. Tom is survived by his father Helmut Krauss; mother Undine Krauss; sister Claudette Russell (Tom); brother Eric Krauss; son Michael Krauss; niece Sara Russell; nephew Connor Russell; nephew Patrick Krauss and ex-wife Tami Romero. Services were held Feb. 10 at Green Valley Mortuary. Pastor Alan Sommer and Associate Pastor Kyle Weeks from Light of the Hills Lutheran Church, Cameron Park, officiated.

Monitoring and education begin this year with enforcement actions starting Jan. 1, 2024. The county plans to adopt an ordinance by April 1.

90-day extension. For violations due to barriers outside the jurisdiction’s control, a corrective action plan will allow 24 months for compliance. Failure to effectively implement SB 1383 could result in penalties of up to $10,000 per day. Cal Recycle will work with El Dorado Disposal on implementation options for those who compost at home. “This is probably one of the most unpopular laws to have gone into effect,” admitted Warren. “The hard part is going to be compliance.” He went on to mention the possibility of having staff members survey routes and opening up trash cans to check for contamination. Ross speculated that perhaps the bill attacks the problem from the wrong angle. “I think we can all say that getting rid of environmental contamination
such as methane gas is a good thing but … I see a lot of immediate headaches that are going to undermine the good intentions of this program,” he said. “Once again, we have governance by sounding good but not governance by practicality.” “This is yet another unfunded mandate from the state of California handed down to the counties and cities and we all know it’s going to cost the individual resident monies to implement,” said District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl, also expressing dismay with the bill’s restriction of the use of gasoline or propane-powered generators beyond 2028. “(It) doesn’t at all address the emergency situation that happens in highaltitude, rural locations, let alone flooding and public safety power shutoffs. That is absolutely unconscionable.”

Eldorado National Forest officials are requesting public input for the California 2022 State OffHighway Motor Vehicle Recreation Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program application cycle. The grants program is an annual program that provides for off-highway vehicle recreation in the state by providing financial assistance to eligible agencies and organizations that develop, maintain, operate, expand, support or contribute to wellmanaged, high-quality OHV recreation areas, roads and trails. Also as important, the grants program seeks to responsibly maintain the wildlife, soils and habitat of project areas in a manner that will sustain long-term OHV recreation. Forest officials will host a virtual open house Feb. 23 from 4-6 p.m. using Microsoft Teams. The public may join the meeting by going to tinyurl. com/yckn6jyy. A call-in option is also available by calling +1 323-886-7051 and using phone conference ID 647 007 738#. Application proposals need to reflect current needs and will be informed by prior year
monitoring and accomplishments, upcoming projects being planned and disaster relief efforts following the Caldor Fire. Members of the public are encouraged to come with suggestions to assist Eldorado National Forest project development for the upcoming grant application cycle. Past grants awarded to the Eldorado National Forest have helped address trail repair and clearing of downed trees on more than 300 miles of OHV routes and law enforcement patrol on an additional 900 miles of native surface roads on the forest, provided for the printing of free motor vehicle use maps, OHV campground and trailhead maintenance, as well as other planning, development and restoration activities. Once completed preliminary grant applications will be available on the OHMVR website March 8 through May 2 for review and comment.

Community volunteers teamed up with Placerville city staff Saturday morning to clean up a homeless camp area along Hangtown Creek near lower Main Street. Waste left on hillsides was bagged up and hauled over to an area that could be accessed by Public Works staff, who on Monday used a backhoe to load it all into dump trucks to be disposed. Part of an effort dubbed Second Saturday of Service, future community clean-up days are being planned and once a date is set, information will be posted to the city website, cityofplacerville.org. City Manager Cleve Morris noted he was very impressed by the volunteer effort.
FEMA
Continued from A1
Congressman Tom McClintock and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla have also tried to help the get county individual assistance by sending letters to FEMA. Turnboo said 32% of residents in Grizzly Flat had no insurance because they could not afford it. “I want to help these people as much as I can, as well as the people in Tahoe who were also affected, and also help the businesses that lost thousands of dollars in income,” Turnboo said. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel, in full support of Turnboo’s awareness campaign, said she agreed with everything as long as the county is not “pointing fingers” and placing blame on the federal government for El Dorado County not receiving the bipartisan support. “I hope this can lead to something,” Novasel said. “As long as we keep it relatively positive and remind them of their promise. I think we are at that point after trying the letter writing and still not getting anywhere.” District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl said it comes down to the president’s involvement. “The only viable path that I don’t know if we tried is to try to get someone from the president’s office to present the case and show the fact that he did make a commitment to our community and to ask him to please honor that,” Hidahl said. Ashton said federal lobbyist David Church would be the best chance at reaching the president’s office and that Church utilized all contacts to try to get that support with no success. Hidahl said having Feinstein and Padilla back their

effort should be influential enough to get ahold of someone from the president’s office. Chair/District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin supported Turnboo on his idea of a media campaign to get a detailed perspective of how affected residents are. “George is right. People do not realize that we got left behind,” Parlin said. “You hear about all these other counties and areas that were affected by fires that got help to recover from them and somehow we got left out.” Kimberly Pruett, a representative for Congressman McClintock, addressed the board via zoom to show her support for Turnboo’s plan of action. She noted McClintock’s office has been getting hundreds of calls
from cabin owners and residents looking for federal aid. She said she has tried to implement strategies to reach the president’s office quicker in a bipartisan manner. “We are working with the U.S. Forest Service to implement some policies to try to solve some of the problems but unfortunately without that individual assistance we have that missing piece,” Pruett said. While many details have not yet been worked out, the plan is for Novasel to collaborate with Turnboo on the awareness campaign, while the Board of Supervisors continues to push to get in contact with the president’s office. The board voted 5-0, showing supervisors aren’t giving up on FEMA individual assistance.

WHY FLOSS? Daily flossing is essential to proper dental hygiene. Forgoing flossing can promote plaque between teeth and along the gumline. Over time, increased plaque on tooth enamel increases the risk of developing cavities. Regular flossing removes small food particles and plaque build-up and aids in preventing gingivitis and gum diseases. It also reduces halitosis (bad breath), the result of decaying food trapped between teeth and gums. Proper oral hygiene not only benefits teeth and gums, it may also benefit heart health, too. A 2019 study showed that participants who practiced high oral hygiene standards also had decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Professional dental cleanings every six
months are highly recommended to monitor and maintain overall dental health. One of our basic philosophies is that our patients must recognize the need to take charge of their dental health and do what is necessary to prevent, arrest, or control their own dental conditions. We’ll work together as a team with you to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. From sound advice about sealants to routine well visits to major dental reconstructions, we’ve got your dental needs covered. We treat both children and adults. P. S. Flossing stimulates blood flow to the gums, which helps fight bacteria growth in and under the gums.

California Matters
Legislative dynasties are becoming more common
I
t’s common for authoritarian regimes to evolve into oligarchies with those in command bequeathing their positions to family members. The extreme example is the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, otherwise known DAN WALTERS as North Korea, which is anything but democratic. Three generations of one family have ruled the nation for more than seven decades, ever since the Korean peninsula was divided into two nations in 1948 after many decades of Japanese control. Kim Il-sung was the nation’s dictator until his death in 1994 and the scepter then passed to his son, Kim Jong-il, and later to his grandson, Kim Jong-un. One of the most important outcomes of the American revolt against the British Empire was to abolish the notion of hereditary power. George Washington, in fact, rejected suggestions that he become king of the new nation. This historical summary is offered because of an increasing tendency in the California Legislature for seats to be passed on to close relatives, essentially effectively denying voters the opportunity to choose their representatives. Kate Karpilow, former director of the California Center for Research on Women and Families, did the research on the phenomenon and wrote about it for CalMatters, focusing on what’s happening in a state Senate district in the San Fernando Valley. Bob Hertzberg, a former speaker of the state Assembly who returned to the Legislature eight years ago after a stint in private business, is being forced out of the Senate by term limits and hopes to extend his political career this year by becoming a Los Angeles County supervisor. Hertzberg wants his son, Daniel, who works for a hotel as a business travel manager, to succeed him in the Senate and is tapping his network of powerful supporters to make that happen. “There’s no board or commission service or local elected tenure,” Karpilow wrote of the younger Hertzberg. “No expertise building or managing a business, leading a local nonprofit or championing a neighborhood issue. “Lacking relevant experience, Young Hertzberg’s campaign markets his enthusiasm and commitment ‘to fight day and night on behalf of working families.’ His campaign website and Twitter and Instagram accounts feature a pile-up of legislative and labor endorsements, secured in many instances, my sources tell me, by his father. “How else could an untested, first-time candidate raise more than $500,000?” How indeed? As Karpilow notes, having an influential politician as a father gives Daniel ■

Letters to the Editor Schools need an offramp for masks EDITOR: or the past two years the families and employees of the Buckeye Union School District have navigated the ever-changing challenges presented by COVID-19. Unfortunately, at too many turns, ambiguously communicated/ reasoned guidance from state agencies has hindered our ability to safely and efficiently move forward toward delivering a school experience that diminishes the impacts of COVID-19’s effects on the social, emotional, behavioral and academic development of students. Currently, we have come to a moment where virus rates are declining rapidly and vaccinations have been administered to many in the community. The time is quickly approaching for schools to move forward with providing an educational experience that is less restricted by public health mandates. On Feb. 7 Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the mandate for the vaccinated public to mask indoors will soon be lifted. However, the governor’s staff explained they were “looking at our school masking policy and continuing to work with education stakeholders.” Who are these education stakeholders? The education stakeholders, who I know, are ready for the governor’s team to stop looking and quickly come forward with a medically informed and achievable plan. Increasing numbers of mainstream medical experts are advocating for classroom mask mandates to be reversed and many families and employees have grown impatient with continuing the requirement of children and employees to mask in classrooms. Unfortunately, the frustration of too many communities is leading to unproductive social unrest that has become the growing focus of educators rather than the education of the children we are all committed to serving. It is time for the governor’s team to communicate where we are heading with masks. The California Department of Public Health has had plenty of time to formulate a well-reasoned and informed masking offramp for school settings. It should not be the case that children are lumped in with prisoners as among the last groups in our population to be permitted to unmask. The delay gives the appearance that there
F
are political, rather than medically informed risk assessments at play. If officials at the state level can’t figure it out, then it’s time that local control is given to county public health officers to refine COVID-19 prevention mandates. We should not continue to be held hostage by the social or epidemiological conditions of communities beyond our own. It is time for our governor’s team to serve a broader range of educational stakeholders and support those communities that are ready to move forward. The governor’s leadership on this front would be greatly welcomed by many families, employees and communities across California. DAVID ROTH, Ph.D. Buckeye Union School District superintendent
EID rates fleece sewer customers EDITOR: he El Dorado Irrigation District charges its 24,000 residential sewer customers an average of $804 annually while residential sewer customers in neighboring Folsom pay just $690 annually, 14% less. If EID’s sewer costs in fact were higher it could cost-justify its higher than Folsom sewer rates. But the district’s most-recent, official financial documents prove otherwise. EID’s 2020-25 cost of services study includes $6.9 million annually of sewer debt service costs but the district’s board-approved December 2021 update to its 2022-26 financial plan demonstrates that EID’s annual sewer debt costs are just $3.5 million, almost 50% less than the amount used in setting EID sewer rates. Under Proposition 218 sewer rates must be no greater than the cost to provide sewer services. We shall see if the EID board moves to lower the district’s sewer rates in compliance with Proposition 218 and the December 2021 update to the district’s 2022-26 financial plan. Directors Lori Anzini and Pat Dwyer are up for reelection this coming November and together have more than 20,000 constituent ratepayers in El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park. GREG PRADA Cameron Park

COVID-19 response — the narrative is falling apart
T
he COVID-19 narrative is falling apart at the seams. Governing bodies left and right are abolishing all diktats, from masks wearing in schools to COVID-19 passports, COVID-19 QR codes and the like. Nothing galvanized THOMAS regular citizens around the world more quickly than Canada’s prime minister responding to truckers demonstrating in Ottawa: “Unacceptable views from a fringe minority.” He will chew on those words for the rest of his life. What we have witnessed and lived through here the past two years is a public health debacle of historic proportions, global in scope and with repercussions on numerous levels. All of that is for another day. I want to list 17 questions, briefly, as a memory aid to make sure such nonsense will never happen again in free societies. The questions are aimed at four groups: • Federal and international public health bureaucracies that purport to supervise and protect our public health.
Of particular interest is the World Health Organization — infested as it is with conflicts of interest especially in the realm of Big Pharma and vaccines; • Members of the political class — especially those in Western societies who have warmed to insular, SCHINKEL elitist ideas concocted in trans-national organizations like the World Economic Forum while displaying pathological disdain for very the citizens on whom they depend for their votes; •The mainstream media that have shown a bizarre and prolonged lack of curiosity informing their inability or unwillingness to raise questions about public health policy mandates that never made sense. Further destructive was and still is their readiness to vilify anyone who had a different opinion, even those with the highest credentials in their respective fields; • Mainstream academia, which should have maintained at least a modicum of distance from politicians and bureaucrats by casting light on what is science and what is propaganda.

The following questions are meant to examine the legitimacy of the COVID19 narrative as it unfolded since February 2020: 1. Why the total disregard for early intervention and for the potential of repurposing existing medications? 2. Why sideline the regular, primarycare-provider, causing a run on hospitals — thereby exacerbating individual cases of infection? 3. Why mandate face masks, knowing full well that the World Health Organization itself questioned the effectiveness of such measures? 4. Why the tardy, unenthusiastic recognition that ventilation is key to diminishing viral loads, especially in settings like nursing homes? 5. Why the total absence of emphasis on prevention, like Vitamin D? 6. Why the lockdowns, knowing full well that the World Health Organization itself recommended against it? 7. Why the forced wait for novel vaccines and why the exclusive emphasis on vaccines at the exclusion of everything else? 8. Why the absence of randomized serology tests across the country to scope out the dimensions of natural immunity early on, for example in April of 2020 — a huge opportunity for
learning lost? 9. Why was COVID-19 placed on the A-list of most dangerous viruses, even though early on it was clear such a decision was completely unjustified? 10. Why did Dr. Fauci authorize higher reimbursement to hospitals for COVID-19 patients compared to other treatments? 11. Why was there a total disregard for the difference between deaths “because of COVID-19” versus deaths “with COVID-19” — common sense attention to this issue would have resulted in a completely different strategy? 12. Why didn’t the CDC dispel the distorted myths that circulated about (the lack of) natural immunity? 13. Why the aggressive promotion of the PCR test knowing full well the limits of that test? 14. Why the murky origin of the story — why the less than forthcoming attitude of Dr. Fauci on gain-offunction research — it provides ongoing fuel for the suspicion that the arsonist is dressed up as the fire marshal? 15. Why the complete and total disregard for the concept of “total cost of lockdowns” instead of the narrow

Hertzberg a leg up in competing with his fellow Democrat, Caroline Menjivar, for the seat. The embryonic Hertzberg dynasty is not an isolated example, as Karpilow points out. “The Arambulas, Burkes, Calderons, Canellas, Lowenthals, Mullins and Ridley-Thomases have also passed the political baton to a family member. “Last year, Assemblymember Mia Bonta won the seat previously held by her husband, Attorney General Rob Bonta; Assemblymember Akilah Weber prevailed in a special election after Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed her mother, Shirley Weber, secretary of state.” There have been isolated instances of such political inheritances in years past, involving members of both parties. However, the practice has expanded in recent years, coincident with the Democrats’
Schinkel
achieving supermajorities in both legislative houses and competition between parties for legislative seats becoming virtually extinct. It’s not a healthy condition. It severely limits the ability of voters to have legislators of their choosing because the anointed heirs have access to resources, particularly financing, that other candidates cannot muster. Fundamentally, it’s a form of gerrymandering, the equally noxious practice of drawing legislative districts to favor a particular party, political faction or particular politician. Unfortunately, it’s not illegal like gerrymandering, but it should be. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Less than a minute after No. 3 seed Ponderosa’s postseason began, sophomore Paloma Daubert put the ball into the back of the net to give the Bruins their first of six goals in a shutout win Friday over No. 14 seed Del Campo in the first round of the Division III Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. Next up for the Bruins on their home turf is No. 6 seed Manteca Wednesday with a trip to the section semifinals on the line. “Our goals this postseason are to make it to the finals of playoffs and just connect better as a team and play for each other,” said senior co-captain Taryn Thalhamer. The opening goal by Daubert was the first time this season the Bruins have scored in the first minute of the game. “We are usually fairly slow starters,” said Ponderosa coach Joe
Humphrey. “The last three games we’ve really been working on trying to get that quick start to set the tone early so we’re not trying to play from behind.” The Bruins tacked on two more goals by sophomores Caitlyn Price and Kyla Daniels before halftime. Senior captain Carly Smith said the communication, chemistry and energy have been the team’s brightest spots this year, which helped the Bruins jump out to a 14-3 regular season record, including winning their fourth consecutive Foothill Valley League title with a 10-1 record. Ponderosa has scored an average of four goals per game while only allowing 0.5 goals per game this season and Bruins junior Brooklyn Hayes started off the second half scoring twice in the 45th and 47th minutes to take a 5-0 lead. “We’re a very offensive team,” n

Ponderosa sophomore Kyla Daniels’ footwork gets her past a Del Campo defender in the first round of the Division III Sac Joaquin Section playoffs Friday. Daniels scored one of the team’s six goals.

Humphrey said. “We attack. That’s the best part of our team.” The Bruins defense that Humphrey said is “amazing” suffocated Del Campo, rarely allowing the ball to cross over the midfield line. “The defense played outstanding,” Thalhamer said. “They really stepped it up and really played together as a team and talked a lot.” Before the game the team called

up several junior varsity players and every one of them got to play in the playoff game. The Bruins will host a 20-win team in Manteca Wednesday that scores 4.4 goals per game while — just like Ponderosa — only allows an average of 0.5 goals per game. Humphrey said the team will need to take advantage of every opportunity given to them for the rest of the postseason.

said Smith’s attorney Dain Weiner. Smith has a mortgage, a fiancée and two children ages 1 and 3, according to Weiner. At the time of the incident he was employed with Mountain Enterprises as a foreman and Weiner added that Smith is the sole provider for the family. Smith was reportedly driving along Carson Road east of Barkley Road Feb. 8 at about 4:15 p.m. when he veered off the roadway and onto the
north shoulder, where his 2018 Honda CR-V hit and killed 14-year-old Julianna, according to the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. Smith then allegedly fled the scene. Smith is charged with felony voluntary manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol and causing bodily injury. He will have a pre-preliminary hearing March 1 at 8 a.m. in the court’s Department 7.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). AThe ambitious will need to hold on tight through twists and turns. As for the striving-averse, don’t worry. Life gives the best fun to those who were simply trying to solve the problem of the day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like most growing things, it feels right to you to follow the sun. Being highly mobile, you’ve also learned to seek shelter to avoid overexposure. You’ll shine when it feels healthy and duck out before things get too intense. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve a sensor for what’s good for you. You know what you want before other people even know it’s an option. Acting on this will take a mix of boldness and charm. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are roads going where you need to go. You don’t have to pave your own; you just have to get on track. Look around for people who’ve been here longer and can teach you this terrain. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Laughter and applause are the soundtrack of your life. Your natural inclinations will make internal editing and self-control fundamental to appropriate socializing. But you’ll love most those who can handle your rawness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A creative vibe takes hold, and it’s impressive what your imagination can come up with. In fact, these fantasies aren’t that far from reality when the right effort is made.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Although you may feel neglected, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it may relieve a lot of pressure. Recent demands on your attention might make solitude seem like a luxury. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Something will make you feel like dressing up before you go out. This is intuition nudging you into your future. The greeting of an attractive stranger is the first step to something wonderful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being told what to do doesn’t sit well with you. Even so, as soon as you remove your resistance, you’ll realize the instructions are a gift. Following them simplifies your life significantly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may be embarrassing, but team-building games and icebreakers build bonds. Playing for an hour can reveal more about a person than a hundred meetings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Either a game will be won or a joint effort will be successful. In the end, it will not be about the prize but about the relationships that grow from the experience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t be afraid to share your expectations and your wishes with others. You can do that with charm and without seeming demanding. It’s a skill you’re constantly developing.

Big Sister of the Year Dina Gentry always has a great time with her 15-year-old Little, Bella. The two were matched four years ago.
Two mentors make a
BIG difference Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
B
ig Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra recently named Dina Gentry and Brian Mathews Bigs of the Year. The honorific is bestowed on individuals who have forged impactful relationships with their Littles and strive to make a difference, not only in the life of their charge but in the community in general through positive action and advocacy. Dina Gentry of Cool, 2021 Big Sister of the Year, is communications director for the El Dorado County Office of Education and utilizes her position to strengthen ties with the school system and BBBS. “We are fortunate for the ability to support our schools in this fashion, made possible by our strong partnership with BBBS,” she said. “This organization is a pillar in our community and we should support their benevolent efforts.” Her community service does not stop there. She is a board member with Placerville’s Kiwanis Club, where she serves on the Wheelbarrow Race Committee, Communications Committee and the Key and Builder’s Clubs committees. She is also a board member at Sierra Community Access Channel 2, board member of California School Public Relations Association and a board member with the CSUS Alumni Association, which mentors students and provides scholarships. After all that work in and for the community somehow Gentry found the time to further offer herself, her time, her patience and her talents to improving the community at large. She began her journey as a Big Sister in November 2018 and has fulfilled that role with care and dedication from the very beginning, according to Brenda Frachiseur, executive director at Big Brothers Big Sisters Northern Sierra, who added that
she strongly believes in the positive impact of the BBBS programs in the community. “Youth empowerment is a catalyst for positive change in our communities and around the world,” said Frachiseur. “Our Bigs serve as this catalyst for change by setting our Littles on a path toward a brighter future, one that may not be possible without the selfless mentorship they provide.” Gentry and her 15-year-old Little, Bella, have grown close over the past four years. Gentry has seen Bella go from an introverted and reserved youth to a selfconfident and communicative high school student with aims for higher education. Gentry has been a strong, positive female role model in Bella’s life and the two are often found together in the community engaging in various activities. Gentry is always up for whatever kind of fun comes their way and is known for kicking off her heels and hiking up the skirt of her smart business attire to join in on an impromptu soccer game whenever the situation calls. She utilizes her many community connections to advance the mission of BBBS and the important programs they maintain. She has encouraged colleagues to join the Bigs’ ranks and continually advocates for the organization. She has also been instrumental in starting the Beyond School Walls program at EDCOE. Moreover, she is consistently present at BBBS events and on occasion has been known to literally jump off buildings to raise funds for their programs. “This acknowledgement was such an unexpected honor,” said Gentry in a statement. “Every day I feel grateful for BBBS matching Bella and I, as we have a beautiful relationship and she inspires me to be a better person.” Gentry is planning to be matched with another Little soon. “I look forward to interacting with my additional Little and EDCOE team

members at our Beyond School Walls program,” she added.
Family matters Brian Mathews of Sutter Creek, the 2021 Big Brother of the Year, has been matched with his Little, 12-year-old Alex, for two years. When Mathews became a Big the first thing he said was that he wanted to meet a kid who would benefit from being part of a family environment. Being married with three children of his own he wanted to be able to make the Little part of that family dynamic. Rather than taking himself away from his family Mathews and his family wanted to bring the Little into the fold, engaging in fun family activities such as dirt biking, nerf gun games, swimming and other outdoor recreation. n

of the basin to keep it from sitting in water. Set the irrigation in place. Newly planted roses should bloom in eight to 12 weeks. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch to protect root sand and fertilize after the first bloom to avoid damaging new roots. The ideal time to plant roses is after the last frost in your area. Bare roots can also be potted in a 5-gallon plastic pot of organic soil and planted after first bloom when climate conditions allow. Here’s to a long season of rose beauty in your garden. Master Gardener classes are offered monthly throughout the county. Find the class schedule at mgeldorado.ucanr.edu/Public_Education_ Classes/?calendar=yes&g=56698, and recorded classes on many gardening topics at mgeldorado. ucanr.edu/Public_Education/Classes/.

cyclists, but many families were on foot when I visited Folsom during the recent holidays. The city ordinance has approved electric vehicles on the trail. Dogs are welcome on leash. Wear comfortable shoes. Walking on a paved surface for miles is hard on the feet, knees and back. There are no bathrooms along the trail but benches are available. You are walking on roads in some areas so watch for traffic. I liked the idea of the trail as a dedication to the Man in Black and his popular song “Folsom Prison Blues.” One of the big drawbacks for me was the lack of artwork promised years ago. I have been waiting to celebrate this trail since 2014. The bridge over the American River, the Robbers Bridge and the pedestrian bridge over the highway are all highlights but the empty spaces promising art that has never shown up is a bummer.

The trail is located in the historical town of Folsom. I took Auburn Folsom Road to Greenback Lane. Turn left on Greenback to Scott Street. Look for free parking across the street or you can pay to park in the Folsom Powerhouse State Park’s lot. The trailhead starts at Scott Street. Start by checking out the pedestrian bridge over the American River.

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.

Public Notices 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 800-2802832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882535-AB.

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 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882535-AB 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney.
