Donohoe found guilty of 2013 Tahoe murder Mountain Democrat staff SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A jury has found Sean Donohoe guilty of the 2013 murder of a South Lake Tahoe man. The jury’s verdict came Tuesday in a SEAN DONOHOE South Lake Tahoe courtroom before Judge Suzanne Kingsbury. While working at the US Gasoline Station on Lake Tahoe Boulevard, Manpreet Singh, 27, was shot and killed Aug. 6, 2013. Donohoe, dressed in all black, including a black mask later recovered close to the scene, walked inside the gas station that evening minutes after Singh had refused to sell alcohol to his drunk friend, according to a news release from the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. Once inside Donohoe shot Singh one time with a .45-caliber firearm, the bullet penetrating Singh’s lungs and heart. Prosecutors say Donohoe left the gas station before Singh’s body hit the ground and then calmly fled the scene. The case went cold and was finally broken in 2020 when the DA’s Office received a tip from someone who had seen a video about the murder investigation. Shortly thereafter DNA located on the mask confirmed that Donohoe was the killer, according to the DA’s Office. A cold case task force, which was a collaboration between the DA’s Office, Sheriff ’s Office, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, Department of Justice, Bureau of Forensic Science and Federal Bureau of Investigation, traveled to Las Vegas to interview involved parties. On May 12, 2020, with the help of the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Donohoe was arrested. “Justice has been served in this senseless murder,” states District Attorney Vern Pierson in the news release, which was issued following Tuesday’s verdict.

Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — If given the opportunity, Leo Bokarius would strangle Russian President Vladimir Putin with his own hands. The 77-year-old Ukrainian born South Lake Tahoe resident can’t stress enough the hatred he has for the “crazy Russian dictator” who led his country to invade Ukraine about one week ago. “I’m not just angry; my hatred

is incredible,” said Bokarius, who speaks with a strong Ukrainian accent. “I don’t know how many generations it will take for Ukrainians to get over the hatred.” Bokarius was part of a planned protest on Monday at the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 89 in South Lake Tahoe. The protests, organized by South Lake Tahoe business owner Jana Menard, will be happening from 11 a.m. to noon every day, she said. A group of about a half dozen on Monday waved Ukrainian flags and

held signs that read, “Russia out of Ukraine” and “Support Ukraine: Save Democracy in the World.” Bokarius said he got very emotional with hundreds of cars honking and showing support for their cause. “Everyone was supportive,” Bokarius said. “The honking and waving, they greeted and supported us. Some cars were carrying Ukraine flags.” “He was practically in tears when ■

and February that were among the driest documented in state history, the Department of Water Resources manual survey March 1 recorded 35 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 16 inches, which is 68% of average for the Phillips Station survey site for March. The snow water equivalent measures the amount of water contained in the snowpack and is a key component of DWR’s water supply forecast. Statewide the snowpack is 63% of average for this date. “With only one month left in California’s wet

season and no major storms in the forecast, Califor-nians should plan for a third year of drought con-ditions,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. “A significantly belowaverage snowpack combined with already low reservoir levels make it critical that all Californians step up and conserve water every day to help the state meet the challenges of severe drought.” Although early season storms helped alleviate some drought impacts, a lack of storms in January and February heightens the need for conservation.

Verne Odlin

Cathy was born to Gus and Mary Frediani in San Francisco, Calif. Cathy grew up in South San Francisco and graduated from South San Francisco High School in 1965. She attended college at California State University, San Francisco, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and completed her teaching credential. Cathy was living and thriving despite three bouts with breast cancer over the course of 29 years. On Sunday, Feb. 27 Cathy passed away at home with family by her side. Cathy started her teaching career in the San Francisco Bay Area working as a substitute teacher. When she and her family moved to Cameron Park, Calif., in 1977 she began volunteering in her oldest son Eric’s class room, and was soon hired for a fulltime teaching position. Cathy spent the majority of her career teaching for Buckeye Union School District for over 33 years. She taught everything from kindergarten to sixth grade, but kindergarten and first grade were the grade levels she loved the most. After retiring in 2011, Cathy returned to substitute teach for Buckeye Union until the birth of her grandson Nico in 2015. Cathy recalled since childhood wanting to be a teacher and she was to so many, not only in the professional realm, but also in the personal. With her big welcoming heart, she taught her family, as well as her students, the value of compassion for all people. She simply loved engaging with people, evident early on by her “Personality Plus” title bestowed upon her in high school. She was a dedicated teacher who truly loved the art of being an educator and the science of education. Her love of teaching was evident in her notable accomplishments throughout her career, such as having been a K-3 Trainer, teaching reading instruction to other teachers in El Dorado County from 1996–1998, and she was awarded membership into The Early Childhood Hall of Fame by the Western Slope Association for the Education of Young Children in 1993. Cathy married Dave McCahon on Sept. 2, 1967 and they had three children Eric, Kristi and Scott. Cathy and Dave enjoyed time with family, from water skiing summers at Folsom Lake, attending their kids’ school and sporting events, to Cathy’s favorite, a trip to Hawaii. Cathy was a “doer” and always had a project she was working on for either family, a friend, or for school. After retirement, Cathy and Dave enjoyed traveling with their travel trailer to some adventurous destinations, but their favorite one was Sea Cliff in Aptos, camping right on the beach. Cathy loved being by the water, especially a warm beach. Her love for living life, despite cancer, gave her heroic will power and a determination to make one more trip to Maui with Dave. Cathy never let the cancer take away her heroic determination or her strong will. These were remarkably evident in her making that last trip to Maui this past October. Where she was able to enjoy snorkeling and even parasailing over Maui’s waters; once again she beat the odds and persevered. Cathy is survived by her husband Dave; their children Eric and wife Melody, Kristi, Scott and wife Stefanie; grandchildren Angelina and Nico and with great anticipation, a great-granddaughter on the way, Mya Nora. A memorial service is being held at Green Valley Mortuary and Cemetery Saturday, March 5, at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Snowline Hospice, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, (530) 621-7820 or (916) 8172338 snowlinehospice.org/help/donate.

Hugh Verne Odlin Jr. was born on May 31, 1927, in Placerville, to Dillie and Hugh Odlin Sr. He died peacefully in his sleep on Jan. 31, at Marshall Hospital in Placerville. As a child, he walked to Coon Hollow School the oneroom school that his mother attended. In May 1945 Verne received a draft notice while he was a senior at El Dorado High School. He graduated and chose to serve in the United States Navy. After the war, a Navy friend talked him into attending University of California, Berkeley on the GI Bill. He met Joyce Long on a blind date, and they were inseparable from then on. They were married in the Berkeley Congregational Church on June 18, 1950. After Verne graduated in 1952, Joyce’s father invited him to join him in his business, Long Filmslide Service. Eventually he and Joyce took over the business. They raised four children, Debbie, Sharon, Ken and Tricia, in their home in the hills of El Cerrito, Calif. They were members of the building committee for the El Cerrito United Methodist Church, where Verne served in many ways, including as Sunday School Superintendent. Verne learned public speaking in Toastmasters and joined the Rotary Club where he was president and was awarded their highest honor twice. He was the official photographer for the El Cerrito Rotary Club, the El Cerrito Historical Society, the El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce and their United Methodist Church Conference. An Eagle Scout, he loved to camp and fish, and became Scout Master of Troop 104 when his son, Ken, was old enough to join. While their children attended El Cerrito High School, Verne and Joyce volunteered with the Rotary and American Field Service student exchange programs and hosted students from the Philippines, Australia and South Africa. Verne and Joyce were hosted by El Cerrito’s sister city, Chelsea, located in Australia, and then reciprocated by hosting them, gaining close friends. In the 1980s, they became active members of Arlington Community Church and faithfully served meals at the Richmond Rescue Mission. Verne and Joyce took trips to Death Valley and New England with his SIR (Sons in Retirement) club. They held National Night Out gatherings and started a neighborhood adopt-the-park program at the park next door, Huber Park. Before they left El Cerrito, they were honored by their neighborhood and the Chamber of Commerce for their service to the community. After retiring, Verne and Joyce built a home on his family’s land in Placerville. They joined Verne’s childhood church, El Dorado County Federated Church and the Fleet Reserve Association. Verne served as photographer and docent for the Placerville Historical Society. When he was no longer able to travel, Verne was content to stay home, enjoying the views and the wildlife. All who knew Verne described him as a kind, sweet person. His motto was “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.” He always encouraged others to look at the bright side. Verne is survived by his beloved wife of 71 years, Joyce; their four children Debbie Mallis (Bob), Sharon Gould (Mark), Ken Odlin (Melissa) and Tricia Robertson Walz (Jon); 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Preceding him in death were his parents, Hugh and Dillie Odlin; brothers David “Buster” Odlin and Richard Odlin and sonin-law Scott Robertson. He will be greatly missed, but his loving legacy lives on. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.

NEUROPATHY IS A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION! DRUG FREE TREATMENT AVAILABLE. ACT NOW We are one of 280 clinics nationwide that specialize in the treatment of neuropathy

What Causes It?

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

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

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Flume repair, drought resilience and transparency

n a recent visit to the flume reconstruction site, I stood along fire-ravaged hillsides and saw the progress the teams are making rebuilding sections of the El Dorado Irrigation District’s flume system destroyed by the Caldor Fire. JIM ABERCROMBIE The flumes are part of EID’s 22-mile-long flume and canal system — vital water conveyance infrastructure that transports a third of the water supply our customers rely upon. I am proud to say those construction teams are making excellent progress every day. While the much-needed snow presented some challenges to our ongoing efforts to reconstruct the flumes, we are on track to have that portion of our water system up and running again in April. As this column goes to press, after nearly a month and a half with no significant precipitation some additional, much-welcomed winter snow has fallen in the Sierra Nevada. We are thankful that The snowpack is this precipitation not where it needs is helping bolster California’s largest to be to break the reservoir — the Sierra drought we are snowpack. The snowpack is not in, but the snow where it needs to be to we have received break the drought we are in, but the snow so far will ensure we have received so we have adequate far will ensure we have carryover storage ... adequate carryover storage in our primary reservoir at Jenkinson Lake and the high Sierra reservoirs of Project 184 — Caples Lake, Silver Lake, Lake Aloha and Echo Lake. Combined, these reservoirs meet two-thirds of our customers’ needs on an annual basis. Given the current weather trends the district remains under a Stage 1 Water Alert and we continue to ask that our customers voluntarily reduce water usage by 15%. Following one of the driest springs on record (2021), the EID Board of Directors unanimously declared the water alert on June 28. Since that time, EID’s customers have been making excellent strides to reduce water use. Head over to EID’s website at eid.org/drought to get tips about how you can reduce water usage both inside and outside your home. As the weather begins to heat up, some simple ways to achieve water savings include applying irrigation water during evening and early morning hours —roughly 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. Other important actions include making sure to repair irrigation system leaks promptly and adjusting sprinkler run times to avoid runoff. Many customers are taking these actions and ■

Another issue alerted readers to a count of homeless people in the county. They were looking for volunteers. It was the coldest night of the year. Easily. We gathered at the Safeway parking lot in Placerville before 5 a.m. Our team of two was sent to El Dorado Hills to something known as the “painted rocks” and to the Safeway there to look in the dark for people sleeping outdoors or in vehicles and interview them. We had gift cards from McDonald’s and bags of other useful gifts. A sanitary product in the bags brought home to me the plight of any woman in the unhoused population. Of course, it was dark. I don’t see well enough to drive in the dark any more and was not very helpful to my companion who was driving and navigating at the same time. He had to spot the painted rocks, well off the road, without my help. And we know and love the Safeway in Pollock, Placerville and Cameron Park but El Dorado Hills was, you know, the outback. Reader, we couldn’t find any homeless. My companion searched the beautiful green belts between Safeway and the painted rocks as well as those two designated areas and the only humans we came upon were some people with compound bows who tried to help. If you’re looking for homeless people, El Dorado Hills would make you think any misery like that had been outlawed. The teams sent elsewhere told a different story. ELIZABETH CAFFREY Placerville

Housing first disaster EDITOR: n Feb. 22 the county Board of Supervisors received a presentation from county staff and El Dorado Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care regarding housing first options that could be available if federal and state funding is received by their consortium of government and nonprofit entities. Taxpayers in the very near future will have the opportunity to comment on what they think about providing housing to the

homeless in their respective communities. The hard-working people of our county need to understand exactly how the entrenched bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento define the concept of housing first. Housing first is terminology that has been used by government and nonprofit organizations since at least the 1970s. Its intent is to provide homeless people with permanent housing, regardless of their ability and willingness to get off drugs/alcohol and gain meaningful employment. The way that the perpetuators of housing first are going to make their goal come true locally is by using government funds to purchase motels in Cameron Park and Placerville. The government and various nonprofit organizations would provide wraparound services for supposed drug and alcohol sobriety, employment, etc. What is found when diving deeper into the housing first concept on a national scale is that many organizations have received millions of taxpayers and clients’ dollars in the pursuit of trying to end homelessness. This money has been received with little actual data to support that housing first implementation is actually reducing homeless in communities across our nation. This is all researched and reviewed in the Manhattan Institute’s white paper “Housing First and Homelessness: The Rhetoric and the Reality.” Many coalitions promoting housing first often use vulnerable groups such as homeless veterans and the mentally ill to publicly promote their projects — largely because the vast majority of the public has a heart for helping these populations. In reality, housing first coalitions are often attracted to these populations because they are already receiving disability benefits. This can be seen taking place in the home key program in South Lake Tahoe, through the Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless. The bottom line: Do you want to live next to a group of homeless people who have no accountability of not doing drugs or gaining meaningful employment? Do you want these large populations next to your child’s school or your mother’s senior care facility? If your answer to these questions is “no,” call your county supervisor and let him/her know that you do not want a group of unelected do-gooders spending your hard-earned tax dollars on an initiative that will make your communities less safe.

The Not So Weekly Daley

The real reason Russia went to war ... who knew?

f you’ve been confused and worried lately about face masks, the Super Bowl, Ash Wednesday, the price of gas, delta and omicron or the ongoing drought, you can be forgiven for not realizing that President Joe Biden is single-handedly CHRIS responsible for the war in Ukraine. I kid you not. Our former president and any number of high profile Republican legislators and bigwigs have amplified Biden’s guilt, blamed NATO and the European Union and the arrogance and hubris of the Ukrainian people for bringing disaster upon their longsuffering and wickedly democratic homeland. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a gathering of concerned citizens in Iowa last week that Putin is “very savvy … very shrewd” and “an

elegantly sophisticated counterpart” (to Biden, it’s assumed). Later he said Putin is “smart and cunning and capable … also evil and should be crushed.” That last part was probably said long after his audience had departed for happy hour. This report comes from the Topeka, Kan., DALEY Capital-Journal Feb. 26. In 201, Kevin McCarthy was recorded telling GOP leaders that he “believed Putin had two Republicans on his payroll: Dana Rohrabacher a notorious Kremlin apologist (and California congressman at the time) and thencandidate Donald Trump.” “Swear to God,” he added. See Josh Gohlke’s column in last Sunday’s Sacramento Bee. Is it any wonder that the “recent unpleasantness” in Ukraine was/is 99.9% Biden’s fault? I’m taking bets that Biden will not

confess his unmistakable role in this “snafu” of epic proportions. His savvy and shrewdness and capabilities don’t hold a candle to the “very, very smart genius of Vladimir Putin.” The bet only involves potato chips or maybe peanuts, so don’t worry if you lose. I’m also taking bets that the president will or will not lay the Ukraine mess directly at the feet of Barack Obama, who should have been way tougher on Putin as everyone with even a scintilla of savvy knows. BTW, did you notice that during Trump’s very genius tenure as president, Russia did not invade Ukraine? Well that pretty much says it all. Am I right? Remember Putin had nothing to do with alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election and would hardly have wanted to invade Ukraine, provoking the well established wrath and fury of Donald Trump toward him. Trump made it abundantly clear a couple years later after private discussions with Putin that Russia “wouldn’t do that. He’s too scared of

me. Bigly scared,” Trump is reported to have said after the Helsinki summit. He rightly threw the U.S intelligence community under the bus that day. Remember Mitt Romney? That chuckle head had the gall to tell CNN’s Dana Bash on a Sunday broadcast, “There are morons on my team,” and, “They may be treasonous as well.” The so-called “morons” are Putin fans and white supremacists, which tells you that they are pretty dim on Biden — not unreasonably, I would add. If you pay really close attention you will be heartened to see hundreds of thousands of displaced persons from all over the world pushing and shoving in massive lines and overwhelmed trains, scrambling to get into Ukraine these days. They want to have a leader who is very savvy, cunning and capable, a genius. Not weak and sissy and senile. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

50-mile Way Too Cool endurance run returns

comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly

News release

On Saturday more than 600 athletes from around the world will race in NorCalUltras’ 32 Way Too Cool 50K Endurance Run in Cool. The prestigious race is renowned for its challenging trails, hills and spectacular scenery. Ultra-runners and athletes travel from far and wide for the opportunity to compete in one of the most popular ultra-running endurance events in the United States. “As Way Too Cool returns again in 2022, endurance athletes are notably becoming more and more eager to register and participate each year and the group of runners is continuing to grow,” said NorCalUltras’ Race Director Julie Fingar. “The training required to cross the finish line of an ultra like WTC50K is incomparable. It’s an intensive training schedule but these are some of the best athletes in the world that are up to the test. We look forward to welcoming back many returning runners and meeting new ones in 2022.” This year, 273 women and 415 men will start their 50K journey at 8 a.m. at the Cool Fire Station and runners are expected to cross the finish line between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Participants are chosen in a lottery.

Protest

Colton Standbridge, 14, is the youngest runner and Shirley Fee and Abdel Fustok are the oldest at 81. From the Cool Fire Station the race begins downhill on paved roads. Runners complete an 8-mile loop and return to the fire station finish area via the Altra Fan Zone. From mile eight to 13, runners will pass by Pointed Rocks Meadow and head north on the Western States Trail. From mile 20.5 to mile 26, participants will run from Auburn Lake Trails to Goat Hill. The final challenge takes place within mile 26 and mile 31.1 where athletes will follow Wendell T. Robie Trail and return back to the finish at the Cool Fire Station. “As runners traverse the trails, the breathtaking scenery and views from the Secret Trail are a great distraction from the physical and mental challenges the athletes will be enduring,” Fingar said. The Way Too Cool 50K Endurance Run course is 98% single-track trails with no two-way traffic. The course includes improved spectator access at the start line, mile 8 and at the finish line. This year’s race beneficiary is the California Conservation of Trails.

I showed up (for the protest),” Menard said. Bokarius said he woke up Tuesday morning and saw that Russia started bombing places where he played as a kid in Kharkiv, the secondlargest city in Ukraine. “It’s my native city; I spent the first quartercentury of my life there in the best city in the world,” Bokarius said. “I was born a Kharkivite and I will die as a Kharkivite. “I am in contact with some old schoolmates and I was telling them we’ve never had such a bad situation in our lives,” Bokarius continued. “We used to be one people; there was no difference. But after the Russians captured Crimea (in 2014), people in my city started hating them.” Part-time South Lake Tahoe resident Peter Redko, a firstgeneration Americanborn Ukrainian, was also part of the protest Monday and said he will

again stand with them on Friday and the weekend when he returns from the Bay Area. Redko said his sister has been living in the Ukraine capital city of Kyiv since 1999. He said she recently fled, fearing for her life as Russian missiles blast the city. “It’s a terrible situation,” Redko said. “I have other friends who live there and unfortunately they’ve had to leave their homes and lives. “As an American of Ukraine ancestry, it’s very upsetting that the world has turned a blind eye for many years,” Redko added. “Putin doesn’t care about his own country. We’ve seen videos where their own people are arrested after protesting. He’s launching missiles into kindergartens. It’s just horrific. He sees Democracy flourishing and it’s very dangerous to him as a dictator. That type of person has no

place on our planet.” Redko said the protest was well received Monday and he thinks the protests will continue to gain momentum thanks to Menard’s efforts. Menard said she was surprised not to see any protests during the first few days Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. Menard said she has an undergraduate degree in Russian civilization and culture and spent a couple of months in the capital of Moscow studying. “When I saw nothing, I feel like it’s a tragic situation that needs to be recognized,” said Menard, who owns the Fragrance Vault in Heavenly Village and uses part of the profits to run a dog rescue. “The least we can do is stand up for them. We’re hoping this isn’t the start of a nuclear war but it definitely feels like we are back in Cold War politics.”

Justice also contributed to solving the cold case. Pierson praised criminologist Deanna Hayden and the El Dorado County victim witness advocate Shannon Simmons for their efforts in the investigation. Donohoe faces 50 years to life for his crimes. Kingsbury is scheduled to sentence Donohoe April 13.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). “Location, location, location,” they say. They’re not wrong. The number of lucky happenings and significant events occurring today will be entirely dependent on where you go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You appreciate boldness and don’t mind when things get wild. The weekend turns your social life on its ear. It’s not who you know, it’s how well you know them. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a three-step secret to a magical weekend: Narrow your focus to one measurable goal; attach a timeline to your efforts; gather your crew and get to it. The world is your oyster. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If life is a song, your favorite part today will be a singalong group chorus. It’s great the first time and then it comes around again and again. You’ll be accompanied by friends, and all will join in revelry. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When up against unwieldy forces or currents too strong to fight, the only grace available is the act of surrender. You’ll give yourself over, but not completely. When the time is right, a dormant kernel will reactivate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In spite of your desire not to draw attention to yourself, your goals cannot be achieved unless certain people take notice. So how will you make your pitch? Chances are it will be subtle and bundled into a service you’ll offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life is not random; rather, it’s an intricate orchestration of mixed events, some random, others curated, some haphazardly tossed in, others painstakingly crafted according to your preference. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you show up with good intentions, things might not go to plan, but they’ll go how they are supposed to. For instance, today your attitude and gifts will meet the needs of the moment in a way you couldn’t have predicted. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have emotional immunity to some moods. For instance, if people around you are tense and cranky you won’t catch the contagion. Even so, you can’t cure it. You’ll have a better time if you keep your distance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being productive is different from being busy. You’ll prove the point with well-considered efforts, specifically aimed to yield a result you’ll achieve without breaking a sweat, running around or rushing anything at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t be shy. The task at hand is too big for one person to handle alone. No one will know you need help until you ask for it. And when you do, you’ll find out that people really love to help you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships that reflect give-and-take are now more attractive to you than they used to be. As you follow the path of reciprocity, you will acquire the resources you need to overcome obstacles that previously held you back.

State wrestling championships

Nutting 7th best Thomas Frey Staff writer Nine El Dorado County wrestlers qualified for the CIF State Wrestling Championships at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield Feb. 24-26. Chase Nutting of El Dorado made it the farthest of anyone in the county and finished on the podium as the seventhbest wrestler in the 285-pound division. Nutting won his first match by pinning his opponent in the first round. In his second match, he lost to TJ Takafua from Fremont High School, who finished fourth in the state. Takafua had a 3-2 lead with less than 15 seconds left. Nutting tried a desperation throw, ended up on his back and was pinned with 2 seconds left. Nutting won his next three matches before narrowly falling to Chrisitan Smith of Clovis High School in the quarterfinals. Smith finished third in the state while Nutting topped Andrew Prado from Mayfair High School to finish seventh. His El Dorado teammate Nathan Long joined him in Bakersfield and fell in the second round of the 182-pound division. Ponderosa had Julian Sanchez, Christian Pebley, Cameron Gott and Gabriel Johnson in the boys division and Sabrina Cunha representing the girls. Cunha won her first match by pinning her opponent in 26 seconds.

In the second round she lost to Isabella Ngo from Dixon High School, who finished as the third-best wrestler in 116-pound girls bracket. Cunha made it to the third round before she was eliminated. Pebley, Gott and Johnson all lost in the second round. Pebley and Johnson had very tough opponents. In the first round Pebley went against Palm Desert High School’s Beau Mantanona in the 138-pound division. Mantanona went on to finish second in the state and he will continue wrestling in college at the University of Michigan — the third-best collegiate team in the country. Johnson had to face one of Nutting’s opponents — third-place finisher Christian Smith — in the first round. Oak Ridge had Shaiden Carr competing in the 145-pound division and Jake Hall in the 220-pound division. Carr lost to Koa Ruiz of Calvary Chapel High School in the first round but didn’t get pinned. Ruiz finished fifth in the state. Hall had three intense battles on his plate. The junior led Oak Ridge football in tackles and fumbles forced last season and used that intensity to earn his way to the state championships. In the first round he went up against Ryan Arrington of San Marino High School, who went on to finish fourth in the state. Hall then battled with

The Senior Nutrition Program’s drive through take-out meal service is discontinued. However, take-out meals will be available for indoor pick-up at the congregate sites between 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Advance reservations are also required for the take-out meal service.

Will ‘The Best Man’ please come forward? Allen Schmeltz Sutter Street Theatre

Photo by Allen Schmeltz

Stephen Kauffman, Alison Loeprich and Tom Loeprich, seated left to right, star with Lisa Schwenk and Mark Ludwig in “The Best Man,” opening March 4 in Folsom.

utter Street Theatre presents “The Best Man” by Gore Vidal, March 4-20. In this award-winning play William Russell, the ex-secretary of state, is a wit and scholar with high liberal principles, beloved of the eggheads and suspected by practical politicians. Joseph Cantwell is a ruthless and hard-driving young man, a dirty fighter who will let no scruples stand in the way of his ambitions. And Arthur Hockstader is an ex-president, who loves politics for their own sake, admires a rough-andtumble battle more than a chivalrous one and is determined to have the final say in the selection of his party’s candidate. Cantwell has got hold of papers indicating that his rival once suffered from a mental crackup, which he is all set to use. Then his scrupulous antagonist comes across some incriminating evidence about Cantwell, which he is loath to produce. The scruples don’t appeal to Hockstader, who enjoys seeing the boys fight. All of this provides the framework for some vivid and intense scenes in which Vidal contrasts the minds, emotions and fighting spirits of the two candidates. Will the “best man” become the next president of the United States? “The Best Man” is as topical today as when it was released in 1960. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m. Sundays at Sutter Street Theatre, 717 Sutter St. in Folsom. For tickets and more information call (916) 353-1001 or visit SutterStreetTheatre.com.

Have a meal and help Animal Services Margaret Williams EDC Health & Human Services With finances being tight for many families these days, El Dorado County Animal Services officials recently announced that a local business has stepped up to conduct a fundraiser event for the Animal Services’ Spay and Neuter Fund. This fund helps families in need in El Dorado County offset the cost of spay or neutering their pets. The fundraiser event will be held 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 6, at Buttercup Pantry, 222 Main St. in Placerville. During the event, Buttercup Pantry has committed to donate 5% of the day’s profit to the fund. “We greatly appreciate the generosity of this local business and we want to thank them, as well as any residents who will be participating in this event,” said El Dorado County Animal Services Chief Henry Brzezinski. “We appreciate the community’s support for this worthy cause.” Animal Services volunteers and staff will be on site during the event, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with several adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes Brzezinski added. These volunteers will also be available to greet residents during that time and answer questions about the various programs offered by Animal Services.

BUTTERED AND SALTY ‘The Batman’

appropriate for a horror film. It works and is an excellent piece of music if you search out the album. John Campea, who has a successful movie show on YouTube, beat me to the punch yesterday by stating that the film “may not be the perfect movie, but it is the perfect ‘Batman’ movie.” If you are a fan of the character you are going to find a lot to love here, including finally showcasing the hero’s Sherlock Holmes-like detective capabilities. If you are not into a long, dark tale this may not be your cup of tea. One could make the argument that the filmmakers could have shaved off 20 minutes. That may be true, but I was completely enthralled. “The Batman” is not what I would exactly call a “fun” movie (it’s not a kids movie either). It is a modern film noir. If you want a fun, pulpy, colorful comic book movie “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is still in theaters and will be on home video April 12. If you want an impressive, noirish, characterdriven, action/crime thriller layered enough to stay with you for days afterward, go see “The Batman.” Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the feature film “No Evidence OF Man,” is now being submitted to festivals and he would like to remind everyone that Batman doesn’t kill. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.

★★★1/2 PG-13, 2 hours 55 minutes – Action, Crime, Drama, Now in theaters

riting this review of “The Joshua B. Porter Batman,’’ I’m engulfed Democrat correspondent in the darkness of a quiet house at about 2 a.m. That is exactly the type of noirish feel that Matt Reeves’ macabre crime drama would feel right at home with. When we think of “Batman” movies we think of fun, entertaining action films. Even the grittier, more grounded Christopher Nolan films like “Batman Begins” (2005) and “The Dark Knight” (2008) had a pulpy quality that kept up the momentum. Here, Reeves’ has made an extremely dark (in both photography and tone), noirish crime drama that includes some good action set pieces, but it takes its time, is a slow burn and doesn’t let you out of the dangerous, grimy streets of Gotham city for three hours. This movie is completely engrossing in its nightmarish version of the fictional city. This starts with the titular character himself. When we first see Batman patrolling Gotham early in the film he’s narrating what he’s seen in the first two years of service as the masked vigilante. This is a break from the norm in Batman movies. For 83 years Batman has had an inner-monologue in the comics, but it has never been translated to film. Here we get it. It’s a welcome addition and one I wish they would have employed a bit more throughout. Robert Pattinson as Batman is a force to be reckoned with. Anyone complaining that the kid from the “Twilight” movies was bad casting is going to eat their words. He is dark, he is brooding and he’s an incredible menacing presence as the Caped Crusader. Other versions of Batman would walk at a brisk pace when going somewhere. Here, every step is slow, deliberate and terrifying to those he comes in contact with. He’s more like “The Terminator” in this. A slight turn of his head to look at somebody and they know they are seconds away from a trip to the hospital. The rest of the casting is excellent as well. Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman is the best version of this character since Michelle Pfeiffer’s in “Batman Returns” (1992). Kravitz’s “The Cat,” along with underused Andy Serkis as loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth, are the only remaining connections between The Dark Knight and his humanity. For years I have waited for a true Riddler story to be brought to film. I love Jim Carrey, but his version of the character in 1995’s “Batman Forever” was jokey and absurd. The Riddler is a cunning, brilliant and terrifying villain when done correctly. The exquisitely cast Paul Dano (“There Will Be Blood”) checks all these boxes, You’re only as good as your villain and “The Batman” works to a large degree because of this antagonist, who is so committed to his twisted world view. Other notable performances are Jeffrey Wright as Lt. James Gordon, who has already developed a trust and partnership with Batman when the film begins, and Colin Farrell as “The Penguin”

(good luck recognizing him). Both characters are extremely well executed. Batman films have had iconic musical scores over the years. From Danny Elfman’s memorable hero march in “Batman” (1989) to Hans Zimmer’s more experimental cues in the Nolan films, but Michael Giacchino blazes his own trail here with a moody score always just a few degrees away from being

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 097497-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 097497-CA 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.

PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE § 2923.3(a), THE SUMMARY OF INFORMATION REFERRED TO BELOW IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE RECORDED COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT ONLY TO THE COPIES PROVIDED TO THE TRUSTOR. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 08/08/2003. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 09/03/2003 as Document No.: 2003-009041200, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by: FORTUNATO LOPEZ, A MARRIED MAN, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the attached legal description. Sale Date & Time: 03/30/2022 at 10:00 AM Sale Location: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1737 ROCKWOOD ROAD (Unincorporated Area), PLACERVILLE, CA 95667 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common

designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $196,476.07 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-5831. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case, 9948-5831, 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA12000007-20-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website https://tracker. auction.com/sb1079/, using the file number assigned to this case CA12000007-20-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
