PPD: Man confesses to setting woman’s tent on fire Dawn Hodson Staff writer Placerville police on Monday arrested a man who reportedly confessed to using a flammable liquid to set fire to a tent a woman was sleeping in at a homeless encampment on Placerville Drive. Jacob Vargas, 25, has been charged with attempted murder and other counts. Police say they were called to the Marshall Hospital emergency room at 4:17

a.m. Jan. 1 regarding a woman who had arrived with severe burns on her body. The female reportedly told officers she was sleeping in a tent under the Placerville Drive extension bridge when she heard a loud explosion and the tent she was in was engulfed by flames. The woman was able to exit the tent and police say she extinguished the fire with assistance from an occupant of a neighboring camp. The woman then

realized she had suffered significant burn injuries and went to Marshall Hospital. A Placerville Police Department press release states the woman suffered second-and third-degree burns over 20% of her body and was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center burn unit. She was released after treatment. An investigation into the incident was initiated by Placerville police and the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. After

following up on several leads, investigators say Vargas became a person of interest. Vargas is reportedly a transient living in the Placerville area. Police did not release a possible motive. In the process of transporting Vargas to the El Dorado County jail he attempted to escape but after a brief chase he was taken back into custody. Vargas is being held with no bail. Charges include attempted murder, mayhem,

Jacob Vargas arson causing great bodily injury and attempted escape from custody.

Two farmers markets that in years past have operated in downtown Placerville will relocate to the Regal Cinemas parking lot on Placerville Drive.

The overflow parking lot at the Regal Cinemas in Placerville will become the new home for the Placerville El Dorado County Certified Farmers Market beginning Saturday, May 1, and the Hangtown Certified Farmers Market beginning Sundays in mid-June. In recent years the Saturday farmers market that used to occupy the Ivy Lot on Main Street was moved along the El Dorado Trail directly behind the lot and along Hangtown Creek. The move that was applauded by some residents for the relative calm of the trail coupled with the shade opportunities for vendors did not seem to work in the market’s favor. Jim Coalwell, manager of the El Dorado County Certified Farmers Market, said, “Key farmers’ sales have dropped since moving from the Ivy Lot.” He further explained the orientation of the parking lot and trail made the market nearly invisible from the street. Coalwell said visitors would have to park at one end or the other of the trail to access the market and walk the entire distance in order to see everything the market had to offer. Then they would have to turn around and walk that distance again to return to their car. He said the layout did not give visitors the opportunity to loop the entire market and therefore, depending on where they parked, they might miss several vendors and artists. According to Dan Hareland, manager of the Sunday Hangtown Certified Farmers Market, the move to Placerville Drive will enable him to welcome more vendors and more foot traffic. The market has been at the Tetrault Lot near the Placerville Post Office for the last five years and Hareland said when new customers did find the n

Sean de Guzman, chief of Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Section for the California Department of Water Resources, speaks to the media after the third snow survey of the 2021 season at Phillips Station near Echo Summit Tuesday.

Snowpack below average Dawn Hodson Staff writer Department of Water Resources staff conducted the third manual snow survey of the season Tuesday at Phillips Station near Echo Summit, recording 56 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 21 inches — 86% of average for the location. 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 snow survey measurements continue to reflect the overall dry conditions. Measurements from DWR’s electronic snow survey stations indicate that statewide the snowpack’s snow water equivalent is 15 inches, or 61% of the March 2 average, and 54% of the April 1 average. April 1 is typically when California’s snowpack is the deepest and has the highest snow water equivalent. “As California closes out the fifth consecutive dry month of our water year, absent a series of strong storms in March or April we are going to end with a critically dry year on the heels of last year’s dry conditions,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. “With back-to-back dry years, water efficiency and drought preparedness are more important than ever for communities, agriculture and the environment.” n

Jan always said she was so very blessed to have them all. Jan loved to work in her flower beds and garden, she had a green thumb. Jan also loved to cook, she is the best cook I’ve ever known. Jan and I helped build our home and she was always their to help. Hardest working woman I’ve ever known. Love you Hon. Jan loved to watch the granddaughters ride their horses at rodeos and doing piano lessons and swimming lessons. She also loved doing her puzzles, most of all she loved spending time with family and friends, she just loved helping people. My wife Jan’s passing so suddenly is so very devastating to us all. She is truly missed by family and friends. Jan is my true love and I’m so in love with her. It hurts so much. She is an amazing woman and so beautiful inside and out. Jan is with me now and we will always be together. I was blessed to spend 21 years of my life with Jan. God please take care of her, I cannot put into words over how much I miss her. Love her forever, Your Hubby Clarence

Homeowner Bill Miller shows surprise as he’s told he’s one of 50 recipients of Envoy Mortgage’s Gift of Home program.

Lucky resident recipient of Gift of Home payment Dawn Hodson Staff writer

ill Miller of Placerville got a welcomed surprise Feb. 24 when he learned he had been selected as a Gift of Home recipient — his February mortgage payment and taxes on the gift would be paid by Envoy Mortgage. A new program launched by the independently owned national mortgage lender, in January Envoy announced plans to gift 50 customers across the U.S. up to $150,000 in mortgage payments and tax assistance (up to $3,000 per household). Lucky recipients of Gift of Home payments are people randomly selected from current Envoy Mortgage Department of Veterans Affairs or Federal Housing Administration loan borrowers, especially those who have been giving back to their communities as military veterans, first responders, nurses, educators and small business owners and employees. Envoy management said it’s part of a program the company is running to show gratitude during a financially challenging time for its customers nationwide. “To say the pandemic has made life difficult for many people across the country is an understatement. We had to do something to help lift people up. It’s just part of the Envoy DNA,” said Ron Millard, chief executive officer of Envoy Mortgage. “We understand the important role and positive impact a home plays in a person’s life — it’s truly a gift. We feel blessed to be able to offer this gift to our customers and I can’t wait for us to deliver more surprise moments in the markets we serve across the country.” Miller was eligible because he had recently arranged for a mortgage with the company. Miller said he was surprised when representatives from Envoy showed up at his door and presented him with a check. Previously he was contacted by an Envoy representative and interviewed over the phone but

he had no idea he would be one of the lucky ones selected until Envoy representatives showed up to his house that Wednesday morning. An Air Force veteran and retired Sacramento County deputy sheriff, Miller is the proud father of a son who works for a police department in Sacramento County and of a daughter and son-in-law who are deputy sheriffs for Sacramento County. He’s also a devoted grandfather who watches his grandchildren once a week. A man who admits to being lucky, nonetheless Miller is someone who grew up under tough circumstances. One of seven children of a single mother who often worked two jobs to support the family, he said for many years the family lived in two-bedroom, one-bath residences where he shared one room with his three brothers while his three sisters shared a room with their mother. Growing up like he did, “poor in the hood,” he said he and his brothers had a lot of contact with the police. “I ran the dangers of the street and was lucky to make it out of there alive. A lot of others I knew didn’t. My brothers were constantly in and out of juvenile hall and I even went once,” he said, noting, “My mother was no friend of the police because her kids were constantly being arrested and it was costing her money.” However things improved immeasurably for the family in 1970 when they received $4,900 from the federal government because their family has some Native American heritage. He said that’s because his father is one-quarter Wailaki, a Northern California tribe. Then his sister got hit by a car and the family got more money for that. His sister recovered but between those two lump sums of money his mother was able to buy a home and move the family to a safer neighborhood in Sacramento. Once out of school Miller joined the n

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

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

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.

In addition to visibility the market is in need of a larger space. “After five years at that location we have reached our peak,” said Hareland, “and if we want to continue to grow, a new location is important.” The new space affords the market the option to add many more vendors, he continued. Hareland said increased traffic may help “turn newer generations onto agriculture.” He has worked side by side at farmers markets with his daughter since she was 8 years old and went on to praise the benefits of younger generations learning work ethics and the benefits of agriculture.

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

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.

California Matters

Some sober advice on homelessness

year ago, before COVID-19 changed everything, Gov. Gavin Newsom dedicated almost all of his State of the State address to one issue: homelessness. “As Californians, we pride ourselves on our unwavering sense Dan Walters of compassion and justice for humankind,” Newsom told legislators, “but there’s nothing compassionate about allowing fellow Californians to live on the streets, huddled in cars or makeshift encampments. And there’s nothing just about sidewalks and street corners that aren’t safe and clean for everybody. “The problem has persisted for decades — caused by massive failures in our mental health system and disinvestment in our social safety net — exacerbated by widening income inequality and California’s housing shortage. The hard truth is we ignored the problem.” Newsom pledged to attack the issue with money and “replace California’s scattershot approach with a coordinated, crisis-level response.” “We will be laserfocused on getting the mentally ill out of tents and into treatment,” Gov. Gavin Newsom Newsom promised. has pledged to do “We will provide stable funding to get something about sustainable results. homelessness in We will tackle the California, but two underproduction of affordable housing new watchdog in California. And reports are skeptical we will do all of and critical. this with real accountability and consequences.” A few weeks later Newsom declared an emergency as COVID-19 attacked the state but with federal relief funds he launched two programs, RoomKey to move a relative handful of street dwellers into hotel rooms and HomeKey to provide some with more permanent housing. He often made personal appearances to tout their virtues. With the state’s revenue picture much brighter than previously feared, Newsom’s 2021-22 budget proposes to expand services and facilities for the homeless. However, the state’s two watchdogs, state Auditor Elaine Howle and Legislative Analyst Gabe Petek, have issued recent reports full of criticism and skepticism. Taking a look at the past, Howle’s report declares: “With more than 151,000 Californians who experienced homelessness in 2019, the state has the largest homeless population in the nation, but its approach to addressing homelessness is disjointed. At least nine state agencies administer and oversee 41 different programs that provide funding to mitigate homelessness, yet no single entity oversees the state’s efforts or is responsible for developing a statewide strategic plan. “As a result,” she adds, “the state continues to lack a comprehensive understanding of its spending to address homelessness, the specific

You accused him of being like a person who released the brakes from his disagreeable neighbor’s truck. Why not blame the manufacturer of the truck or a neighborhood gang for the truck rolling down the hill? What are the facts? The FBI has learned that the riots were planned and rioters came prepared. What part of Trump’s “peacefully and patriotically make your voice heard” is provoking and illegal? Have you read his speech? Who is responsible for the violence that happened all across the USA last year? Being responsible is a mandate for each of us that we cannot place on someone else. My actions are my responsibility. JANE VOMSTEEG Diamond Springs

Doing just fine EDITOR:

s. Bonnie Chapman took it upon herself to give advice to Republicans on how to think. Sounds like an employee of the George Orwell government. Apparently, she is the ultimate knows-better person, understands the only truth and has a responsibility to let the poor Republicans know they are deficient in their ability to recognize the direction they should be taking. She does not understand there were 75 million Americans who took another way, acknowledging another truth — one that comes with actual examples they have experienced over the past four years with President Donald Trump, i.e. lowest unemployment rate, tax relief, multiple appointments of Constitution-believing judges, protection of our southern border, reshaped the Middle East, unmasked China, rebuilt our economy, honored our troops, rolled back regulations, supported the Second Amendment, free speech, kept Iran at bay, etc. During his term, he accomplished more than most of our previous presidents, but that is a truth that she will deny. The truth she has comes mostly from a bigoted media. Early on, President Trump announced that a COVID-19 vaccine would be available by the end of 2020. Others mocked him for being unrealistic but he developed Operation Warp Speed, which removed regulatory obstacles and his prediction became a reality. Did she hear this from the media? Of course not.

Please don’t worry about us Republicans, Ms. Chapman. We’re doing just fine. We did good in the down ballots of 2020; you wait and see how the next elections go. DELORES NICHOLS Placerville

Two masks EDITOR: he powers-that-be in America now claim that we need two masks to “protect us from the virus.” We’ve moved from Dr. Fauci’s early 2020 “no need for masks” claim to “masks are mandatory.” The mandatory-mask phase resulted in 85% mask compliance, yet we experienced an alleged spike in cases of the virus. They claim virus cases have dropped 77% from the date of their placement in power. So why would one need to double up on masks ... if the initial 85% mask compliance were so effective? Americans are so cowed; they never question corrupt abuses such as the mask policy and its effectiveness. Just as America accepted the lies of 9/11, people really believe that a piece of porous material will ward off the virus. That is intellectually depressing. As though an airborne virus two microns (or smaller) across is going to be stopped by such flimsy materials? The mask must suit the purpose — be professional grade and it must sit tightly on an unshaven face. Otherwise, the mask is a fashion or political statement. Even if you wear the most professional mask available, without proper protection you can still get the virus through the eyes. Why doesn’t anyone in the scientific community admit that ... or that plexiglass is not stopping a virus that rides on air currents? The most harmful aspect of the corrupt leadership regarding the virus and masks is that masks are a huge factor in cross-contamination of the allegedly ever-present virus. Count how many times that cashier, your wife, the waiter or anyone touches their mask during an encounter. People are constantly adjusting their contaminated masks or taking them off and folding them into a pocket for re-use. Without sanitizing after each touch of the mask, everything they touch is now cross-contaminated with whatever was on the mask. So if the masks are stopping the virus, how is the virus not being transferred all over the place through this crosscontamination behavior? Two masks will make no difference in the management of the virus, but it will display how cowed the U.S. population has become. RJ O’GUILLORY Greenwood

The Not So Weekly Daley

This is a good time for a potpourri (not death threats)

peaking of ... death threats. I’ve never gotten one, not counting those from my brother. He threatened me any number of times with mayhem or death if I: Told on him for swiping dad’s Pall Malls or ratted him out for Chris stealing beer from the New Family Market down the street. Piece of cake. Just shove the can down the front of your jeans and pull your jacket down over the bulge. I did all of that later, but since he was two years older I could justify my innocence at the time and get him in trouble too. Oh, sure, some older brother might suggest that I deserved whatever my brother dished out but let’s save that issue for another time.

Now, I’m talking about real death threats or what I would consider real threats. Does the average “death threater” really have the will, the capability, the wherewithal and the opportunity to actually carry out his or her death threat? My guess is that Daley many, if not most, do not. A guy living on disability or Social Security in Seattle can email a death threat to Dr. Fauci pretty easily. He could do it a hundred times a day for nothing. Fly round trip to D.C. or drive four or five days to and fro? Not so much. Not impossible but not likely. And does he really hate Dr. Fauci that much? Same with those election officials in Georgia. Who would risk jail or

worse to go kill the Georgia secretary of state or his wife or his dogs, just because his candidate didn’t win? I don’t know much about real killers, but I’ll bet they don’t generally inform their intended victim ahead of time. Nevertheless, my timbers would certainly shiver if I ever got a death threat. I plan to do a little research on this topic in future; stay tuned. Speaking of research, people who wear glasses are less likely to get the COVID, according to a Capital Public Radio report this week. It’s easier to see it coming if you have four eyes instead of just two. Seriously, it’s because we tend to touch our face less often than those without glasses, per the research. Wish I’d known that when I was in third grade. Halfway through the school year my parents asked Mrs. Mosher if the glasses had improved my performance in class.

“Chris doesn’t wear glasses,” she said accurately. Busted. I’d take them off on the way to school and put them back on just before I got home. Not surprisingly, my brother the tormentor teased “four eyes” me mercilessly. I guess I did better in school after that though. Mrs. Mosher was our teacher in third, fifth and seventh grades. I’m pretty sure they don’t do that any more but apparently it was based on sound research in the early ’50s. If those in the know were right, Donald J. Trump became the president again yesterday. If not yesterday, then another day soon they say. It’s about history. Or you can look it up where you find Waco, Hale-Bopp, Jonestown, the Rapture, hydroxychloroquine vs. the plague and such. Have a nice day. Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

Union Mine High School senior Grace Salvestrin tees off in practice Tuesday afternoon at Cameron Park Country Club. The Diamondbacks are readying to compete for their third consecutive league title Monday.

nion Mine High Schools girls golf is a program steeped in winning tradition. The Diamondbacks have won the last two Sierra Valley Conference titles, five of the last six, and 10 of the last 12. Monday the team will close its season in the league tournament with a chance at a three-peat. “We’re in good shape but more than anything we just have to keep taking it day by day,” said Chad McGowan, who has been Union Mine’s head coach since 2002. Senior Grace Salvestrin has been on the varsity team since her freshman year in 2017. The team was coming off winning three league titles in a row and lost the league championship by one stroke that year.

“I think that was a really good season to start out seeing the older players and how they coped with the loss,” Salvestrin said. She took what she learned that year, and along with the trio of Maddie Sorber, Kyla Denault and Emily

Wheeler, won backto-back league titles in 2018 and 2019 while also being named SVC First Team all league. Of the four, Salvestrin was the only one who didn’t graduate following the 2019 season. She is the league’s top golfer this

season. “We had a lot of seniors leave last year,” Salvestrin said, “but we’ve had so many young players step up that there wasn’t as much of a barrier as I thought there might be. ■

They’ve all been doing so great.” McGowan said he normally likes to schedule a lot of non-league matches prior to the start of the league season but this year he couldn’t because of COVID-19. Some golfers had previous experience like sophomore Allison Owens who said her experience playing last year helped her this season. “It helped me feel better prepared for the matches,” Owens said. “The first time I didn’t know what to expect and now I know what to expect.” With so many newcomers to the sport McGowan said he relied on Salvestrin to help him lead the team. “She’s been great at bringing the team together,” said freshman Monica Potkay. Potkay moved to El Dorado County from the Bay Area and immediately stepped in and became a top-three golfer in the league. “My goal is to have the team be able to win and be able to keep getting better at golf,” Potkay said. For most of the team members their first time playing golf was when they joined the high school team at Union Mine. “That’s kind of been the recipe for us,” McGowan said. “It’s just bringing a bunch of young girls in and getting them to enjoy the game first. And if they enjoy it, they’re going to put the time in and then they’re going to be ready by the time they’re sophomores and juniors and be able to play in a lot of the matches.” McGowan has been experimenting with lineups all season and wants to give as many girls the opportunity to play as possible. Along with Salvestrin,

Potkay and Owens, McGowan has depended on senior Melanie Arechiga, juniors Gracie Wentworth and Courtney Wagnon, sophomores Skylar Whitaker and Kailani Curry and freshman Amelia Kovach. Kovach first played golf about six weeks ago and McGowan said she felt like she was ready to step into the lineup and see what she could do. “She beat five girls and it was her first match,” McGowan said. “She stepped up and she did great. She’s come a long way.” The league championship Monday at Cold Springs Country Club will be the final match of the season for the Diamondbacks. While the season was shortened and the postseason canceled due to COVID-19, team members said they are just thankful to have a season at all. “What’s been hardest for me and as a team is taking that long of a break from competition,” Salvestrin said. “Practice rounds and practicing is so completely different than actually being in a tournament or match.” It’s been challenging for the girls to even practice due to COVID-19 shutdowns and a lack of access to their home course, Cameron Park Country Club. “There was a big chunk of time when we weren’t able to meet or anything,” McGowan said. He said aside from aiming to win a third straight league championship, he is happy with how cohesive the team has become. “The fact that they get to see their teammates every day and have that opportunity to see friends and compete and play sports again — it’s nice,” McGowan said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re a treasure. If you want to be pursued, then go where the treasure hunters are. Like a tattoo in invisible ink, it takes a special light to see the art, and it really only happens when a person knows it’s there in the first place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). We can only be trapped by what we want. We are held by our own white knuckles clinging to what we don’t want to let go of. Fear of loss is the turn of the key that locks us in chains. If you agree to lose, then you will be free. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have more stories than you think. The things you’ve done are so familiar to you that you cannot imagine how impressive they would be to another person, but if you share, you’ll find out. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best and brightest version of future-you hinges on the ability of today-you to pay close attention. To stay engaged, figure out what’s in it for you, even when the scene seems to revolve completely around the other person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes, you have faith and you act on it. Today, your faith isn’t as strong, but you still benefit from action. Keep shooting for the goal regardless of whether you think you can make it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Messes occur. It’s not your job to clean them up, though you’ll probably do it anyway, or at least be involved, because leaving things better than you found them is in your creed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some pressures exist only because of a thought. The thought doesn’t have to be true to make the pressure very real. A thought is causing you stress unnecessarily. Identify and release it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you ask the others, they’ll tell you what they see and you won’t be able to help being influenced. To find that truly original take on the situation, wait before you ask. Look at it a long time by yourself first. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Trying to accomplish everything on the list will be too stressful and counterproductive. Decide on what you’re not going to do today and, suddenly, everything lightens up. Plus, you move quicker. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a risk inherent in every interaction, only it doesn’t feel as risky with those whom you can predict. Fresh blood will energize you and bring about your most daring self. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). With so many unwritten rules governing today’s interactions, you may just decide to go rogue and put an end to the easy compliance that has been the dysfunctional norm of the situation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No one knows how you do it, but somehow you’re able to draw vitality from lackluster scenes, badly illuminated in fluorescent light. Your imagination knocks out walls to install its own sun-streamed windows.

Second doses given at Red Hawk each week Democrat staff El Dorado County Public Health Department staff is administering drive-up COVID-19 vaccine second doses at Red Hawk Casino on

Thursdays. Almost 1,000 vaccines are available each week. Only the second dose is being given at Red Hawk. Eligible individuals need to first get the initial shot and must do so by

appointment. To make an appointment go to edcgov.us/Government/ hhsa/Pages/ EDCCOVID-19-clinics. aspx for details. Recently, Susie Davies, chief executive officer at Mother

Lode Rehabilitation Enterprises and board director for the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, received

her vaccine. Davies said, “I am so happy to get my second vaccine and this drive-up clinic at Red Hawk is really efficient

and fast.” Tribal Police are assisting with the safety and coordination of the drive-up clinic.

military where he served for eight years, part of the time as a security police investigator on base. Using that experience, when he left the military he became a deputy with the Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Department where he worked for 25 years before retiring. Specializing in tracking down fugitives, when he retired he received a special award for arresting 200 homicide suspects. He also said he’s proud that he changed the way they went after suspects, a change that he said led to much greater success in tracking down fugitives. After retiring Miller didn’t exactly rest. Instead, in 2011 he did a stint in Afghanistan for seven months

working for a contractor. His job was to train the Afghanis as police officers. “It was very dangerous over there,” he admitted, “but being a cop is dangerous too.” He remembers the base he was on was attacked a couple of times and a number of men he worked with were killed later on. Since 2011 Miller has lived in El Dorado County, first in El Dorado Hills and now in Placerville. Describing the check from Envoy as something of a shocker, he noted how nice it was of Envoy to select him as one of the Gift of Home recipients. “I feel really honored,” he said, adding, “One thing about me is I have always been very lucky.”

aisy Caire, a 16-year-old guitar virtuoso, songwriter and fiddler, has released her debut album, “Chasin’ After the Wind.” Caire’s bluegrass roots mix

with groovy old-time, intricate originals and a touch of Latin and Swedish music to create a “beautiful, soulful and mature debut,” according to Scott Nygaard, former Acoustic Guitar Magazine Editor,

Grammy nominated musician. “Chasin’ After the Wind” is available to purchase at daisycaire. com, the Bookery in Placerville and on all listening platforms. Based in Northern California, Caire has

been making splashes in the bluegrass community since she was 6 years old. Caire sang and picked her first songs with her family as the El Dorado Family Band and then joined the popular youth bands Rambling Minors and North Country Blue. “‘Chasin’ After the Wind’ is a tribute to my journey with music over the last 10 years,” Caire said. “Collaborating with other musicians and performing made me passionate about music at a young age and I am grateful for the opportunity to follow this path. I hope you enjoy the music I have created and join me as I go where the music takes me next.” The 13 tracks on the album represent a wide variety of styles for an artist of any age. Her bluegrass roots are evident from a traditional take on Waylon Jennings’ “You Asked Me To” to the ripping original tune “Remy’s Breakdown” that showcases Caire’s abilities on guitar. She treats listeners to the solo fiddle and voice in “Wedding Dress,” a Swedish tune “Bridal Waltz” and a tribute to her time spent in Guatemala with “La Múcura.” Caire’s insightful lyrics on songs such as title track “Chasin’ After the Wind,” “Hello Granny” and “Away From the Shore” show a maturity well beyond her years. “Daisy’s music has feeling,” said David Grier, three time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year. “I feel it and you will too. She takes the risk of showing a bit of herself, and we reap the rewards. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and rich musical journey.” Bluegrass Today called Caire “… the next big thing from the fertile ground of Northern California.” Caire’s collaborators include Brandon ■

Talented, young musicians return to the virtual stage News release

nConcert Sierra’s “Bach to the Future” Education and Outreach Program presents the final of three Spring Student Showcases at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 7. The musical showcases have provided the students a virtual opportunity to present the fruition of their hard work to the community.

These days, with in-person concerts prohibited, teachers have found the online recitals to be highly beneficial to their students’ learning process. Taking part in recitals while studying music is an essential part of a student’s growth. There are few things more motivating to music students than receiving heartfelt praise from their friends, family and community after a presentation. During normal times, pre-COVID, their friends and family would join together to hear their performance. Students practice for hours to learn a piece of music. They relish in receiving accolades that give them a well-deserved sense of pride and accomplishment for all those hours of hard work. This Sunday the students performing range from ages 9 to 17; participants are Eva Floyd on trumpet, and Elsa Gray, Leander Giuliani, Ariana Toor, Jacob Crenshaw, Baraka Anderson and Malachi Ludlum on piano. “Another benefit of the recitals is the opportunity to practice public speaking. The comments from the students are priceless,” said ICS Executive Director Julie Hardin. “I enjoy watching the showcases to hear what the kids are going to say, as much as their music and cheer them on. It’s a delightful way to spend a half-hour.” The Student Showcase recitals may be viewed online at inconcertsierra.org, or the InConcert Sierra YouTube channel. All three recitals will remain available on YouTube.

Father’s Day Festival and recorded an EP length CD. As a part of North Country Blue, Caire played the Strawberry Music Festival and CBA’s Father’s Day Festival, was featured on Insight with Beth Ruyack in 2019, played Viva Las VeGrass and recorded a full-length album. Two of Caire’s originals, “The Counting Song” and “Ruby High,” were featured on the album. Caire has represented the California Bluegrass Association’s Youth Program at the International Bluegrass Music Association’s World of Bluegrass four times. She was featured on the Ted talk “The Seeds of Music” by singer/songwriter Phoebe Hunt. Her original tune “Remy’s Breakdown,” won second place in the Mike Auldridge Instrumental Composition Contest. “Daisy’s guitar playing is beautifully self-confident,” said Brittany Haas, who performs with Live From Here house band and Dave Rawlings Machine. “With the sureness one earns from diligent study of tradition and technique, she applies her rich tone and expressive phrasing to originals and standards alike. ‘Chasin’ After the Wind’ provides Daisy an opportunity to explore her harmonically progressive sensibilities and a wide variety of string band sounds with an impressive list of collaborators. She demonstrates a willingness to open her heart in her songwriting and performance, and it is a joy to hear her play.” For more information visit the website daisycaire.com or follow Caire on Facebook and Instagram, @daisycaire.

Godman on fiddle, Patrick Sauber on banjo, Rainy Miatke on mandolin, Kathy Barwick on guitar and dobro and Laurie Lewis on bass and vocals. “In ‘Chasin’ After the Wind’ Daisy Caire has produced a beautiful, soulful and mature debut that not only features her powerful singing, songwriting and rhythm guitar playing but also establishes her as one of the most exciting of today’s young virtuoso bluegrass guitarists, with a full, rich sound and a thoughtful, fluid style devoid of clichés and licks but full of melody and invention,” said Nygaard. “Daisy Caire is an extraordinary musician,” added Jody Stecher, Grammy finalist and Indy Award winner. “She’s got power and poise, a focused mind that pays attention to detail, a fine clear voice, a fluid, able touch on the guitar and a sense of form in her song craft that is mature well beyond her years.” Caire has performed at venues such as the Strawberry Music Festival, Largo at the Cornet in Los Angeles as a guest on “Watkin’s Family Hour,” The Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley, CBA’s Father’s Day Festival and IBMA’s World of Bluegrass. She has performed alongside Sean Watkins, Molly Tuttle, Jody Stecher, Brittany Haas, Paul Kowert, Laurie Lewis and Nina Gerber and has opened for several of these artists as well as Micheal Cleveland and David Grier. As a part of Rambling Minors, Caire was featured on radio stations KVMR, KPFA and KQED’s California Report. The band opened for Micheal Cleveland, played at CBA’s

your garden. Il Gioiello & Morse Wines — Il Gioiello Winery celebrates an all-Italian wine lineup including sangiovese, barbera, vermentino, montepulciano, aglianico and the super Tuscans, with wood fired gourmet pizzas throughout the weekend. The 2000-plus foot elevation and rocky soils express the best of Italian varietals while being a few minutes above the valley. Friday evening will celebrate Saint Joseph’s Day, Italy’s Father’s Day with evening bonfires and Italian specialties. Drytown Cellars — Taste a four vintage vertical selection of syrah — futures in the barrel from 2019 and 2020 vintages, along with bottled 2017 and 2018 syrah, all from the estate vineyard. Talk about the wines with the winemaking team and practice wine evaluation skills using a helpful tasting framework that guests can take with them. Enjoy a selection of specially-selected paired cheeses, beef tri-tip and spring accompaniments that will enhance the experience. Distant Cellars — Distant Cellars may be a bit off the beaten path, but it is worth the five-minute drive off Shenandoah Road. Distant Cellars will offer a flight of five to six wines. This includes award-winning white, red blends, zinfandels, syrah, petite sirah and barbera. These delicious wines will be paired with a scrumptious Cajun boil, cornbread, salad and sweet treat — a taste of New Orleans in Fiddletown. Distant Cellars offers deck seating, a tree garden and a welcoming staff. Feist Wines — Enjoy a flight of six wines and a barrel sample of the 2020 Barbera paired with seven artisan cheeses and dessert by Ingrid Fraser. Combine wine and live music as the University of California, Davis’, 20-point scale is used to evaluate how music influences the perception of acidity, sweetness, fruitiness, astringency and complexity in wine. Convergence Vineyards — Convergence will offer a skip-vertical wine experience. Taste two varietals over a five-year time horizon. Compare primitivo and syrah aged in the bottle for three years verses one year, next to a barrel sample with

only six months in oak. Learn what to look for as colors change over time. Uncover the mysteries of the evolution of wine’s chemistry through aging. The wine will be paired with smoked Alaskan halibut and bacon chowder. Wilderotter Vineyards — Wilderotter’s knowledgeable tasting room staff will take visitors through a six varietal wine sampler, selected from the extensive portfolio, perfectly paired with Cowgirl Creamery artisan cheeses, charcuterie and gourmet chocolates. Rombauer Vineyards — Relax on the spacious and open patio while tasting through a flight of classic varietals and a hand-selected barrel sample from the winemaking team. The wines will be thoughtfully paired with delicious bites from Taste, which guests can enjoy while virtually learning about pruning and getting the vines prepared for the next harvest. Borjón Winery — Come to Borjon Winery to sample its classic wines: sangiovese, barbera, zinfandel, primitivo and enjoy a barrel sample of Barbera Selección. Sample food from Nora’s Kitchen perfectly paired with the specially selected wine flight. Dillian Wines — Dillian Wines will serve a tasting menu of six reds and one white wine, along with a Behind the Cellar Door special barrel tasting. Warm up with a cup of minestrone soup and crackers from Vinceguerra Ravioli Company. Bray Vineyards — Make the day at Bray and taste the estate bottled and award-winning petite sirah, barbera, verdelho and albarino. The wines will be complemented with Tuscan soup, specialty cheeses and estate olive oil. Plus barrel tastings and some fun facts about wine and the magic that is the Sierra foothills. Di Stasio Vineyards — Di Stasio Vineyards will serve a house-made penne pasta with a choice of sauce accompanied by an arugula salad with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. There will be barrel tasting of a yet-to-be released vintage with a tasting discussion. Paul J. Wines — Paul J. Wines will offer a full
