City farmers markets may lose a day Thomas Frey Staff writer Change appears to be coming to Placerville farmers markets in 2022. A proposal would shrink the three farmers markets that happen each week on city property down to two. It would move the Wednesday farmers market at the Bell Tower to the Fox Lot at the intersection of Main Street and Sacramento Street and eliminate the market held Sundays at the Tetrault Lot. “While each of these markets has managed to stay afloat with their small size and limited items, the community would be better served by consolidating vendors and offering farmers markets restricted to two locations and two days a week,” said Placerville Director of Community Services Terry Zeller. Zeller said they would like to move the market to the Fox Lot because “the Bell Tower does not allow for the number of vendors to operate safely or allow for expansion.” When the topic was first mentioned at the Feb. 9 Placerville City Council meeting, council members and Zeller were considering making the changes this year. After Zeller read the proposal, the topic opened up to the public and the council quickly learned how much of a financial strain it would be on farmers if the changes were implemented this year. Greg Rockney, owner and operator of Rockney Farms in Camino, talked about how losing or moving a farmers market on short notice has hurt his farm in the past. “We saw our profits cut in half,” Rockney said. “That was detrimental to us as farmers because we had grown crops for a previous year’s market and then we were also throwing away a lot of that crop because we do only sell at small markets. It’s scary because it is my sole income for my farm and it’s scary to me to think that I’m gonna have my profits cut in half again.” Rockney also said that each time n

n emblem of the area, the El Dorado Hills monument sign displayed to the south of Highway 50 is getting a makeover. In early February eight volunteers sanded and repainted the monument letters and cleaned up the surroundings with personally donated materials — what they hope is only the beginning of a full renovation. Initially alerted to the structure’s disrepair by a Nextdoor post, resident Wade Klinetobe decided to form a group last December to engage the community in an effort to restore the monument. It sits on land owned by the Rolling Hills Community Services District, enclosed by a chain link fence that is routinely ignored. “The sign has been vandalized with paint in the last few years — but more recently the rocks in the wall have been

pulled down or destroyed by people climbing on it,” said resident and volunteer John Davey, describing the area as littered with trash beneath mutilated no trespassing signs. In just the few days before, the monument fell victim to two separate instances of defacement. Klinetobe said he hopes to do much more than the painting his group accomplished this month. “If done right, we believe this work could carry the sign forward for the next 50 years or more,” he said, adding that they are seeking quotes for the restoration project. While he offered several ideas to prevent future damage, such as security cameras or permanent security fencing, Klinetobe admitted that harm will be nearly impossible to extinguish. “You cannot prevent all vandalism so we would like to see some community buy in,” he said, proposing n

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Efforts by local agencies are under way to not only clean up homeless camps in South Lake Tahoe but to get help for the people living in them. Clean Tahoe is a South Lake Tahoe nonprofit that works on litter and trash management and public outreach. It was started in 1988 to address illegal dumping issues that became more prevalent. Since then Clean Tahoe has morphed and one of the things it’s had to do more of is cleaning up homeless encampments. Clean Tahoe is contracted with the city of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County so it coordinates with

whatever agency’s jurisdiction the camp is in. But before Clean Tahoe can go into the camp to clean it up the residents of the camp must be given two weeks to evacuate. That’s where STACS comes in. The South Tahoe Alternative Collaborative Services is a collaboration between the city’s public health and safety groups, including the South Lake Tahoe police and fire departments, Barton Hospital and the Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless. South Lake Tahoe Police Chief Dave Stevenson said he will coordinate with the homeless coalition before giving the eviction notice so the coalition is able to reach out and get those people connected with services.

Homeless hangout closed off Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has closed off an old, abandoned mine shaft near the El Dorado Trail after learning that a homeless person was living in it. Located in the Placerville area, EDSO’s Homeless Outreach Team became aware of a person living in the shaft in December 2020 after someone reported seeing several homeless individuals coming out of the mine and smelling smoke, according to a Sheriff ’s Office news release. Another individual reported seeing homeless people cutting brush and piling it in the mine shaft area. EDSO officials also said the Homeless Outreach Team received a different report of a homeless individual snapping a whip and behaving in a strange manner on the El Dorado Trail. The person making the report said they felt threatened and worried about others who might be using the trail. Deputies assigned to the Homeless Outreach Team said the homeless individual who had been living in the mine shaft told them he had been using the shaft as shelter for several years. Photos taken inside the shaft show cooking and sleeping areas. Reportedly contacted on multiple occasions by the Homeless Outreach Team, who offered assistance in the form of room and board, each time the individual refused help. The person was advised he was trespassing and moved out. The Homeless Outreach Team and El Dorado County Facilities on Monday sealed off the entrance to the mine shaft with boulders to prevent anyone else from entering it, according to EDSO Sgt. Eric Courtesy photo Palmberg. A mine shaft along the El Dorado Trail in Placerville was sealed off Palmberg said the location of the mine shaft is also Monday after the El Dorado County sheriff’s Homeless Outreach being kept secret. Team became aware a homeless man was living inside.

Tahoe ski resort facing lawsuit over fatal avalanche last season Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune A North Lake Tahoe ski resort is being sued over an inbounds avalanche that killed one and seriously injured another last season. The lawsuit against Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, owned by Alterra Mountain Company, is seeking damages for negligence, gross negligence and breach of contract. The suit was filed Feb. 2 by Ellis Law Group, LLP, which is representing Kaley Bloom in Placer County Superior Court. The lawsuit alleges Alpine Meadows personnel failed to mitigate avalanche danger and that the run where the fatal
event happened should not have been opened after being closed the previous day due to heavy snowfall. About 25 inches of fresh snow was reported on the upper mountain from a storm the day before. The avalanche happened at about 10 a.m. on Jan. 17, 2020, and claimed the life of 34-yearold Cole Comstock, of Blairsden and seriously injured Bloom, the Tahoe Daily Tribune previously reported. The plaintiff and Comstock were skiing on an inbounds run between Scott Chute and Promised Land near Scott Chair when the snowslide occurred. The lawsuit alleges the run had been closed the day before and “had been unsuccessfully
bombed earlier that morning in an attempt to mitigate” avalanche danger. The plaintiff states he saw Comstock get caught up in the avalanche a moment before he was overtaken. The plaintiff alleges the resort was in a rush to open ski runs because it was a holiday weekend and the unsuccessful mitigation efforts led to Bloom suffering severe and permanent lower body injuries. A case management conference has been scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 1, at the Justice Center in Roseville. The suit does not specify damages sought other than that it exceeds $25,000.

community service hours for teens to help police the area and help with repairs. But he said he suspects that current times contribute to the area’s nefarious activity. “Hopefully some of that boredom dies down when we get back to some sort of ‘normal’ but the community could invest in programs that give safe and healthy alternatives to mischief,” he suggested. “Boredom is a major driver of vandalism for younger folks; address the boredom and you address much of the tomfoolery.” Klinetobe’s group is not the first. Multiple repair attempts have been made, according to Rolling Hills Community Services District General Manager Chaney Hicks. Stolen letters were replaced as an Eagle Scout project in 2005 and five years ago JWA reinstalled fallen rocks onto the sign as a public service. “Potential construction of a no climb fence has been talked about, but funding such an endeavor would not be within the district’s budget, which is the crux of the matter,” said Hicks, who explained that maintenance costs have escalated in recent years. “The district only receives $200 annually
from 399 parcels. Limited funds prevent a lot of potential solutions from materializing.” Klinetobe seeks financial assistance from local community members and organizations for restoration, but concedes that long-term funding for continued maintenance will have to be addressed in other ways. “We believe that the signs are iconic pieces of El Dorado Hills and El Dorado County history and deserve protection and preservation,” Davey said. “Other than the old executive golf course, the monument signs are one of the remaining pieces of the community’s original El Dorado Hills history.” Davey also mentioned considering other area historical elements to protect. The parcel is listed with the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Department for enforcement and trespassers will be cited. Construction fencing will remain while the CSD mulls future resolutions. The monument sign on the north side of Highway 50 is owned by Parker Development. For more information visit the “Save our Sign” group on Nextdoor.
A root canal is often thought of as a last stage effort to prevent a complete tooth removal leaving you with a crown. However, if a root canal does not work and you start to experience pain in that tooth again, there may be one more option available before pulling the tooth. An “apicoectomy,” or root end surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes the very tip of the problem tooth’s root as well as any infected tissue. The tip is then sealed off with a small filling, similar to a cavity. Unlike a root canal or tooth extraction, this procedure usually requires a few small stitches to close the gum and avoid possible infection. Root canal therapy may
have had a bad reputation in the past as being painful, however, as most anyone who has experienced this procedure can attest, today’s techniques make root canal a virtually painless, effective treatment. If you are experiencing pain or have unusual symptoms (before or after a root canal), call your dentist. Be aware of threats to your health, and take steps to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. If you don’t have a family dentist at this time, we invite your call. New patients are always welcome. P.S. An apicoectomy can be accompanied by bone grafting to help the bone grow back if too large a void is left after the procedure.

trailer is prominently marked with Back Forty’s logo and phone number and has a side door as well as drop-down back door. The trailer is loaded with catering equipment Back Forty staff regularly used before COVID-19 hit, according to Cobb. That includes warming units, steam tables, chafing dishes, a generator, tables and table coverings and everything else needed for full-service catering. Cobb estimated the cost of the
loss, for just the trailer, generator and food containers alone, is at least $12,000. Surrounding businesses were all closed at the time of the theft but Back Forty owners hope a surveillance camera in the area may have captured the suspects in action. Cobb said in the past they parked the trailer at their home in Cameron Park but had to move it because it violated the neighborhood’s CC&Rs. Cobb said investigators with the
El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and California Highway Patrol have been out to inspect the crime scene. The license plate of the trailer is CA1FU1360 but Cobb said CHP officers think the license plate may have already been removed by whoever stole the trailer. The generator is a Honda 6500, model No. EB6500SXA, serial No. 1004040 if anyone tries to sell it.

Lockdowns are killing us
W
e are now nearly a year into the most self-destructive social experiment in the recorded history of human civilization. On Feb. 5 a year ago we enjoyed the greatest economic expansion in our lifetimes. The Tom McClintock poverty rate was the lowest in 60 years. The unemployment rate was the lowest in 50 years. Wage growth was the strongest in 40 years. The wage gap was narrowing, with blue collar wages growing the fastest. Unemployment rates for minority groups and women was the lowest ever recorded. And then, over a course of just a few catastrophic weeks, our government took a wrecking ball to it all. In the second quarter GDP plunged by a third — the worst decline in productivity ever recorded. Unemployment exploded to its highest levels since the great depression. Tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs. Trillions of dollars of the nation’s wealth were squandered. In the months since our children have been robbed of a year of their educations. Millions of Americans have been forbidden from earning a living by their own government. Shopkeepers have seen their life’s work destroyed and when in desperation they try to hold on they are led away in handcuffs. Our most cherished rights to worship freely, to peaceably assemble and not to be deprived of our lives, liberty or property without due process of law have been destroyed. COVID-19 didn’t cause this damage. Public officials did. They promised us it was for our own good — that it would save lives. But mounting evidence in multiple scientific studies is putting the lie to these sophistries. It is becoming increasingly, tragically and bitterly clear that the lockdowns have not only failed to save lives — but are costing lives. Last month the University of Denmark released the results of a study comparing Danish municipalities that locked down and those that did not. Their conclusion: the lockdowns “had limited and statistically insignificant effects.” Their conclusion mirrored a similar study out of Stanford University that compared eight lockdown nations and two non-lockdown nations. They concluded: “We fail to find an additional benefit of stay-at-home orders or business closures.” These are studies based not on assumptions and predictions, but on actual real-life hard-core data. This is what the science is telling us and it’s telling us the same thing from multiple studies: the lockdowns have not saved lives — certainly not to any statistically significant level. But it gets worse — much worse. We are now seeing mounting evidence that lockdowns are costing lives on a staggering scale. Last month the National Bureau of Economic Research warned that increases in poverty caused by the lockdowns will cost more than 800,000 American lives over the next 15 years due to higher poverty levels — with the deaths disproportionally n

Letters to the Editor Support the people EDITOR: am a deeply concerned constituent in Representative Tom McClintock’s District 4 and I hereby want to let him know that I expect him to act “for the good of the many,” and, therefore, to do everything within his power to see that the For the People Act gets passed. Every provision that it includes is arguably necessary in order to truly address the will of the majority or to correct the myriad attacks on democratic principles that have only been increasing in more-recent decades. Out with partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression. In with ethics reforms and improved voting rights. The integrity of these “United States” is depending on this. You must not let the country down. PETER LAMBERT Cameron Park
I
Angry protesters EDITOR:
“C
ongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”. Nowhere are the words protest or protester used in the First Amendment. The corporate mainstream media, however, refers to burning private property, stealing private property (looting) and assault as protesting or angry protesting. In actuality these activities are all violations of the law. Somehow the mainstream media refuse to say or print the words criminal behavior, for what it actually is — a crime — seems to me to be a perfect example of yellow dog journalism. The language used by the corporate media has sometimes historically been referred to as “Yellow Dog Journalism” or “Yellow Journalism.” Here is one definition provided by Study.com: Yellow journalism is an exaggerated, exploitative, sensational style of newspaper reporting. It emerged at the end of the 19th century when rival newspaper publishers competed for sales in the coverage of events leading up to and during the
Spanish-American War in 1898. I would add, without “context,” which seems to be the favored method of sensationalizing the news by the media. The purpose, I believe, is to manipulate the people’s opinions regarding what is happening. The huge corporate media system using the word protest, protesters or angry protesters instead of criminal acts, violations of the law or criminal behavior is, in my opinion, a big part of the problem. I hope that some future generation of Americans will demand honest and competent news reporting based on facts and correct use of the language. There is nothing peaceful about destroying property, stealing or assault. JOEL WILLIS Somerset
Is John Doolittle making a comeback? EDITOR: ormer Sen. John Danforth (R-Missouri), called the Jan. 6 insurrection “a grotesque caricature of what the GOP stands for. ... They’re a cancer on society and Democracy.” Danforth also called his early support of Sen. Jeff Hawley (R-Missouri) “the worst mistake I’ve ever made.” Diogenes can stop looking: we have found an honest Republican. From the steps of the Capitol, Sen. Haley encouraged the Jan. 6 mob by raising his right hand in a fist. Had he kept his fingers extended, instead of a fist, he would have been more ideologically and historically correct. The raised fist was used during the Spanish revolution by anti-Fascist forces fighting Franco. The Mountain Democrat published John Doolittle as a guest columnist. Doolittle left Congress in disgrace after he was discovered to be deeply involved in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. As a congressman, Doolittle was steadfast in his support of oil, gas and banking interests and against any action that might protect the environment. His successor, Tom McClintock, just picked up where Doolittle left off. Both men also have something in common: neither one did, or is doing, anything much for his own district. Doolittle’s Feb. 3 column ends with his

usan Laird’s “The Arts” column that appears periodically, usually in the Wednesday B section of the Mountain Democrat, is often interesting. It has factual information and insightful viewpoints. Her Feb. 3 column Michael was about the El Dorado County Library providing curbside service during the pandemic and Friends of the Library raising funds for new book purchases. The portion of her column dedicated to the library reminded me of its origins as the El Dorado County Free Library. That was started in the Purity Building (now Placerville Town Hall). The person who started that library was Robert Ramsey, a longtime columnist for the Mountain Democrat. His column was Outdoors. His subject that I most remember was his campaign to allow hunting does. He considered that an efficient way to manage the deer herd and prevent overpopulation. He never
was able to convince the state Department of Fish & Game to change its policy. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said in his April 16, 1951, address to a Joint Session of Congress, “… I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that Raffety day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see his duty.” I mention those final lines of MacArthur’s address because it reminded me that as a columnist Robert Ramsey didn’t die; he just faded away. In fact, we never received an obituary on him. Rumor was he moved to a senior care facility in Sacramento. I don’t keep up with the obituaries in the Sacramento Bee. Unfortunately, whoever handled his obituary didn’t know about his longtime column writing and library

formation history in Placerville. Also, on the subject of MacArthur, the following quotes from his 1951 speech to Congress include the following strategic quotes that still hold true today: “The holding of this defense line in the western Pacific is entirely dependent upon holding all segments thereof, for any breach of that line by any unfriendly power would render vulnerable to attack of every other major segment. This is a military estimate as to which I have yet to find a military leader who will take exception. “For that reason, I have strongly recommended in the past as a matter of military urgency, that under no circumstances must Formosa (Taiwan) fall under Communist control. Such eventuality would at once threaten the freedom of the Philippines and the loss of Japan and might well force our western frontier back to the coast of California, Oregon and Washington.” Of course, at that time Hawaii was a territory not a state. I don’t see us giving up the Hawaiian Islands and certainly not Guam and Midway. A lot of Midway is now a bird sanctuary, but there is still a landing
strip and operations center on one of the two islands that comprise the U.S. Territory of Midway. ••• Weather report: January rainfall was 7.05 inches, just short of the 147-year average of 7.4 inches. Temperatures were within the range at 57.8 degrees daytime compared to the 21-year average of 57.3. Overnight low was 40.5 degrees compared to the 21-year average of 37.6. A bit warmer overnight, usually a result of warm days in the beginning of the month and overcast nights. February daytime temperatures are all over the place but average out to less than 60 degrees over 20 years. The 147-year rainfall chart calls for 6.43 inches of rain as a February average and a cumulative average of 27.55 through February. The most rainfall to happen in February was 19.31 inches in 1936. Only one time was there no precipitation February, in 2020. So far February has seen 0.55 inch of rain, with more on the way.

hile this year’s snowpack is not as robust as we’d like, it’s been OK. It’s also been somewhat active and avalanche prone. Since Feb. 12, there have been 26 reported avalanches in our part CHARLIE of the Sierra, according to the Sierra Avalanche Center. The avalanches stretch from the Mt. Rose area to Carson Pass, Luther Pass, Echo Summit, Mt. Tallac and up into Donner Summit. A couple avalanche reports were sent into the Sierra Avalanche Center by backcountry skiers and boarders who triggered them and were taken for an avalanche ride as a result. One was reported Feb. 12 in an area of North Lake Tahoe called Tamarack and the other Feb. 14 near Echo Summit. They survived. This winter, however, February avalanches have claimed 22 lives across the western U.S. Downhill ski resorts do all they can to mitigate avalanche dangers within their boundaries. They can still happen. It is always important to stay inbounds at resorts. Pay attention to their warnings and guidance. In the backcountry there is no avalanche mitigation. The Sierra Avalanche Center is the best place to get up-to-date information regarding snow, avalanche conditions and threats for our area. It isn’t necessary to cross-country ski or snowshoe up to the top of a ridge or a peak to be in harm’s way. The bottom of the mountain can just as easily trigger an avalanche. Any slope that is 30 degrees or more is worthy of a great deal of respect, even if you’re at the bottom of it. Avalanches aren’t predictable.
While there are known avalanche chutes and conditions that can trigger them, knowing when they will cut loose is impossible. There is no such thing as a “controlled” avalanche. Once they start, either intentionally, naturally FERRIS or by a skier, boarder or snowmobiler, they take off unabated and there’s nothing to stop them. They just run ‘til they stop. Simple, but true. This columnist has written about avalanches for many winters now, and more than once during each season. That’s how important this is and how important it is, especially now, for everyone to pay attention and learn about them. With crowd restrictions at the downhill resorts there’s been speculation that more people will take to cross-country skis or snowshoes to get out on the snow this season. That probably means more inexperienced people out in the wintery forest. For anyone headed to the backcountry, either on cross-country skis, split boards, snowboards, snowshoes or snowmobiles, an avalanche class, or at the very least a very good avalanche presentation, is extremely important. There is a list of providers and classes on the Sierra Avalanche Center website. Especially for anyone who has zero experience in the backcountry this should be the first step. The term backcountry covers a lot of territory. It ranges from anywhere from being just out of sight of where your car is parked to trekking deep into the forest. More experienced backcountry ■

Tarps, sleeping bags and other items are scattered about at a homeless camp off Winnemucca Avenue in South Lake Tahoe.
Homeless camps
Continued from A1
Purrington works to get people in the camps into permanent living situations. Through Project Homekey, the coalition has purchased motels to move homeless people into. Despite not having the Warm Room this year, Purrington said they saw a 30% increase in people getting access to shelter. After camp occupants have been given proper notice, Clean Tahoe goes in with bags and gloves and starts cleaning. Kathleen Sheehan, executive director of Clean Tahoe, said this is the depressing part of the job. “For a long time I’ve struggled with it because you want to place blame because you’re seeing these beautiful areas be trashed and, for me, it made me really think about my own consumption,” Sheehan said. Sheehan said because they’ve been given notice, camp residents take their important personal items with them so what’s left is all trash. For example, because they don’t have access to washing machines, a lot of times once clothes get too dirty they are just tossed aside. The first thing Clean Tahoe does is gather all the clothing up into one pile. Sheehan has seen some interesting items in the piles left after the clothes are gone, including Nancy Drew books and a box of records. Sheehan said they see a lot of food trash, empty propane tanks and batteries. There are also human feces and used needles. The staff cleaning up the camps all
wear personal protective equipment and all the items they collect are marked as biohazardous and disposed of accordingly. Oftentimes when one camp is cleaned up, the residents move their belongings to a different area to set up camp. In the 2019-20 fiscal year Clean Tahoe cleaned up about 36 homeless encampments but many of those were in repeat areas, such as the meadow behind the South Lake Tahoe Grocery Outlet. “Cleaning them up only addressed the camp, not the people living in the camps,” Purrington said. She also said she’d prefer the camp doesn’t get moved, especially during the pandemic, because the risk of COVID-19 spread is increased. There is also the environmental impact of the camps on Tahoe’s wildlife and fragile ecosystem. Purrington said the environmental aspect can’t be solved until the human aspect is. “We are involved in a very dirty part of it but my heart goes out to anyone that’s mentally ill or addicted to anything,” Sheehan said. “I think it’s just a real cry for a need for services for people struggling with mental illness and addiction.” Both Stevenson and Purrington are seeing positive impact from the coordinated effort. Stevenson said South Lake Tahoe police are seeing less mental health and drug-related calls and Purrington said Barton has been receiving less repeat offenders at the hospital.

Homewood to offer free skiing, breakfast to healthcare workers Tahoe Daily Tribune LAKE TAHOE — Homewood Mountain Resort will honor healthcare workers later this month with free lift tickets, access to the mountain an hour before everybody else and breakfast. “Over the past year, healthcare workers have made an indelible impact on communities around the country,” said a press release. The event is Sunday, Feb. 28. “We can never repay the hard work and sacrifices our healthcare workers have made — especially over the past year,” said Kevin Mitchell, Homewood general manager. “As a small token of our

travelers routinely check conditions prior to heading out. That doesn’t mean they never get into dicey situations. It does mean that they have the knowledge, hopefully, to avoid areas completely ridiculous to venture into. For the rest of this season, which includes spring, remember to check conditions before heading out — every time. Along with the gear you take with you — food, water, first aid, proper layers of clothing, functioning gear and a partner —take into account how much daylight is available and what the conditions are at your destination. The idea is to have a great time, more than once. At the top of the list, always, is common sense. Know when to stop, stay within your skills and enjoy many other days out there, safely. Get outside!

The Main Street Farmers Market, which takes place at the Bell Tower in Placerville Wednesday evenings, may be moved to the Fox Lot in 2022 as city officials say the space doesn’t allow for the number of vendors to operate safely or allow for expansion.
Farmers markets
Continued from A1
a market moves, it takes a while for that new location to build up a customer base and sales suffer. The SOL Community Farmers Market, which operates on Sundays, was at the Fox Lot in 2016 before being relocated to the Tetrault Lot in 2017 and then in 2020 found its current home at a private lot, the parking lot of the Wilkinson Hupcey Building at 681 Main St. Once SOL, which stands for Sustainable, Organic, Local, moved out of the Tetrault Lot, a new Sunday market was added there by the city of Placerville. SOL organizers left the Tetrault Lot, which is adjacent to the Placerville Post Office, because they said the location didn’t have enough visibility and the move from the Fox Lot had affected vendors’ sales, the Mountain Democrat reported in 2017. Other El Dorado County farmers
calling in to the City Council meeting echoed Rockney’s sentiments: they didn’t want to move from three farmers markets to two this year because they have already begun growing enough crops to serve three markets per week. Many also said they rely on these markets as their main source of income. After public comment the City Council game-planned with Zeller before deciding to table the discussion and push possible changes for farmers markets to 2022. Farmers market locations will stay the same this year with the El Dorado County Certified Famers Market on Saturday mornings along the El Dorado Trail north of the Ivy House Lot, the Hangotown Certified Farmers Market on Sunday mornings in the Tetrault Lot and the Main Street Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons at the Bell Tower.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s scary to want and scarier still to desire. Remember this, because you have the keys to what other people want. Over the course of your dealings, their feelings may be heightened and illogical. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People around you will take off their sweaters because you create such warmth. Other effects of your personal weather system will include the privilege of hearing what’s really on their hearts and minds. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In this human family, usefulness helps ensure a decent position. You’re always looking for ways to make yourself more useful and, today, you’ll land on one that will be fun to learn. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today’s atypical and nonsensical journey will amuse you. Why you go one direction instead of another is a mystery. Even more mysterious is how you still manage to get there. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You gravitate toward the people who see you as you would like to be seen and also the ones who see things in you that you cannot yet see in yourself. Both types are essential in your development. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You cannot be enticed today, neither by advertiser nor friends with (what they think are) good ideas. It’s so obvious to you what the next right move is that you can’t help but laugh in the face of persuasion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get people to switch to your side because you do it better. Knowing which metrics matter most to people will be key here. Hint: Everyone wants to have more fun and ease. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have high expectations for loved ones but you also afford them wide margins for error. Those two factors go together toward optimal performance and, at the same time, sanity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You cannot have diamonds without paying the price. Even those who come by their diamonds via gifting pay the diamond rate in one way or another. It’s something to consider before purchase or reception. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When your mind goes to that negative situation, go exercise, listen to happy music or do anything that brings you vitality. You’re making a habit of getting your emotional payoffs from seeking joy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not interested in what you should do today, as societal expectation has nothing to do with your own journey of selfdiscovery, which cannot be fulfilled under the umbrella of “should.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though you’d love to fill your time with meaningful pursuits, it’s even better to discover the purpose behind the pursuits you already engage in and frame it all with your own meaning.

Empty Bowls organizers hope to repeat the success of their October 2020 drive-thru dinner. The next event, which raises funds to end hunger locally and internationally, will be held Saturday, March 6, at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville
Empty Bowls hopes to overflow Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
T
he 21-year tradition of Empty Bowls in El Dorado County is known to many in the region. Every fall this benevolent organization seeks support from the community in its mission to reduce hunger and malnutrition both locally and internationally. This year while the mission remains the same things have changed due to the restrictive nature of the pandemic. Normally the well-attended annual event is held on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. Although last October’s drivethru event was successful, the organization still has a healthy goal to reach. The Empty Bowls planning committee continues to reimagine ways for the community to participate in its mission fulfillment. Teaming up once again with local restaurant owner and humanitarian John Sanders of Old Town Grill to achieve the ultimate fundraising goal of $30,000 Empty Bowls is planning an event for early spring. The Empty Bowls Supper for Two is planned from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, March 6. For
Olajane Gow of Placerville tries to decide what bowl(s) she will select during last fall’s Empty Bowls event. the price of $35, the menu will include a choice of either beef barley soup, minestrone soup or white clam chowder with rolls and dessert for two. Participants will also take home a commemorative student bowl made for the event. Add $20 for a bottle of wine from a local winery and dinner plans are set for a cozy Saturday night. Proceeds from the event
will benefit both local and international entities. The locally run Upper Room Dining Hall in Placerville, which serves up to 300 meals per day to food-insecure individuals and families in El Dorado County, will be the local beneficiary. The international donation will go to Earth’s Angels Farm in Winneba, Ghana, West Africa, which is continuing with the
first phase of building a fish farm that not only seeks to help feed the community but will create jobs and learning opportunities to locals. Empty Bowls still welcomes help with this event.

The trail has grown over the years, with new additions now stretching from Camino to the El Dorado/Sacramento county line. Much of it is paved. Several access points or trailheads mean you Mary West can experience different parts of the trail depending on your schedule. Outdoor columnist I have accessed the trail from three different trailheads. The first was my favorite. I call this WUI hiking. WUI stands for Wildland
Urban Interface. This isn’t exactly urban hiking but it isn’t the wild and rugged trails we know and love in the wilderness. This is a paved, 3.1-mile walk just outside of town off Missouri Flat Road. It took me some time to find the trailhead. Let me save you the trouble. Go to Sierra Door and Supply. Drive right to the business as if you were a customer. At the end of the parking lot look for another parking lot with what looks like a split rail fence. You will see the signs for the trailhead.

or Holy Trinity School students community service is no stranger, but February is special. This month the El Dorado Hills school’s Student Tribunal decided on a project that would have three beneficiaries: memory care facilities, the MakeA-Wish Foundation and also their school’s teachers and staff. “The kids are really charged about it,” said Principal Denise Remick. “Especially when there’s so much that we cannot do right now. That was the motivation behind it; what can we do to bring a smile to someone’s face and make a difference to somebody else in these times when there’s so many things that we can’t do?” The students solicited donations, a portion of which went toward purchasing flowering plants for memory care facility residents at Ponté Palmero, Eskaton, The Pavilion, Oakmont, New West Haven and El Dorado Senior Care

Along with the plants, 200 crafts and cards made by Holy Trinity students and parishioners were delivered in time for Valentine’s Day. The parish’s Faith Formation confirmation candidates also donated more than 50 bags and cards. Remaining funds were donated to the Spirit of Benny, a Make-A-Wish fundraiser benefitting kids and families of El
Dorado County. And finally, Holy Trinity teachers and staff were presented with flower bouquets for Teacher Appreciation Week. Monthly service projects are a mainstay of the school’s curriculum, with past projects such as collecting socks and canned goods for outreach programs like Upper Room, toiletries for the needy or baby
wipes for Mother Teresa Maternity Home. “We think it’s really important to do community service with and for our community,” said Holy Trinity eighthgrader Katie Newman. “What I thought was special was that everyone was in on it — the parish, the students and confirmation students all just trying to help and really come together.”

n 1916 Michael Sorensen, a Danish immigrant and sheepherder, pulled together enough money to buy 169 acres of land in Hope Valley. Amid stands of aspens cut through by the West Fork of the Carson River, Sorensen built cabins over the next decade that he would rent out for 75 cents a night when he opened his namesake resort in 1926. Nearly a century later, Sorensen’s has undergone many changes and owners over the years, but the soul of the property and the undeveloped landscape that surrounds it has not. It’s what attracted the newest proprietor, founder and CEO of Wylder Hotels John Flannigan, to breathe new life into the mountain retreat. Now called Wylder Hotel Hope Valley, Flannigan has begun renovating the 30 log cabins — ranging from two to eight person accommodations — with pine-paneled walls, mountain modern furniture, and updated kitchens and bathrooms. New hammocks, swings, bridges and fire pits now dot the property. The neighboring campside was purchased and seven yurts and a vintage Spartan trailer were added alongside the tent and RV sites and connected to the main property via a wooded trail. The yurts truly encompass the concept of “glamping,” with large footprints housing comfy beds, couches, a gas fireplace, dining nook and even a soaking tub. And while much has changed since Wylder Hotel Hope Valley took over, one important thing has not: There is not a stitch of cell service and no WiFi.
Sip on a hot toddy or classic old fashioned before diving into a heaping portion of comforting bread pudding. At the revamped General Store, browse Sierra Nevada nature guides, trendy Pendleton gear and Stanley thermoses then grab an Americano at the coffee bar or a sausage breakfast sandwich slicked with spicy aioli. The same woman who has made the muchloved baked goods at Sorensen’s for years is still cranking out delicious scones (try the coconut mango) and full pies (the peach strawberry is the ultimate souvenir to bring home).
Outdoor adventures For Flannigan, who also has a Wylder Hotel on a 9-acre waterfront property on Maryland’s Tilghman Island, the
draw to Hope Valley was simple — the land. “You have the West Fork of the Carson River meandering through and all of these great peaks, like Pickett Peak and Indian Head. Just this natural space that’s untouched,” said Flannigan. “The fly fishing, the hiking, the mountain biking, the kayaking. All of these great lakes like Silver Lake, Scotts Lake, the Blue Lakes and Caples Lake are all really nearby. You really have the changes of the seasons and all of the different elements that you can enjoy, whether it’s wildflower walks, the aspens changing in fall or the snow falling. It feels pretty magical here.” During the winter months, guests can rent snowshoes to take in the miles of trails traversing Hope Valley and Carson Pass or take the kids to the property’s sledding hill. The newly
restored wood-fired sauna is a wintertime favorite, with the brave popping out to make a quick snow angel before heading back into the warmth. Hope Valley is also a great destination for cross country skiing, and Kirkwood Mountain Resort is just 20 minutes down the road. “We tried to tap into that magical, nostalgic history that was already here,” said Flannigan. “And we’re excited for people to experience everything Hope Valley has to offer.”
A wood-lined vintage Spartan trailer is one of the unique accommodations at the campground.

With an impressive wine list and cocktail menu, there’s a lot to get excited about at Sorensen’s Café, which evolves with the seasons and uses fresh, wholesome ingredients like in this butternut squash, kale and burrata salad, below.
Eat and be merry Another nod to the resort’s history is Sorensen’s Café, which serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner to guests on its new deck or cozy dining room. The menu retained the longtime favorite, beef burgundy stew, but added in new flair with dishes like the shaved prime rib carne asada served with homemade flour tortillas and a grilled pork chop with apple-leek cream sauce.

to make it a good one-stop shop,” said Freiburg. “When we have a big beef event, the quilting show or other events that draw multiple participants, they usually stay here instead of going to get a room somewhere in town. The fair vendors and carnival workers always park somewhere on the grounds; now they have an easy and convenient location to rest for the night.” Roger Moreland traveled here from Idaho to take advantage of the newly minted park. He and his wife are here to tend to family business and enjoy the region. “I used to camp here for the Demolition Derby back when our kids were just 4 or 5 years old,” said
Moreland. “When we couldn’t find a suitable RV park for this trip I gave the fairgrounds a call.” He said the booking process was easy and the site is very nice for a brand new location. The firsttime fairgrounds camper told the Mountain Democrat he would be back the next time he visits. The grounds boast 18 RV pads, a new driveway, a key-coded private entry gate, a new pavilion, newly planted trees, available Wifi, motionsensing lighting, a dog park, laundry facility, bathrooms with showers and a dump station. Those interested in booking a spot can do so online at eldoradocountyfair.org.

Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE--ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE H E A LT H INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca. com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING--IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is
held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17 8579 FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT FILE NO.

THE PETITION for probate requests that TAMMIE BROWNING & TRISHA FEHRT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: March 24, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
