Volunteers gather signatures to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom on Placerville Drive in Placerville Feb. 11.
Newsom recall effort hits 1.9 million signatures Dawn Hodson Staff writer It looks like a ballot measure to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting closer to going to voters based on the number of signatures already verified. Aaron Bate, who is coordinator for the recall effort in El Dorado County, said in a virtual meeting with other recall organizers from around the state this week that 1.927 million signatures have been collected as of March 3. Needed are 1.5 million verified signatures to get the measure on the ballot. Bate said 1.512 million signatures were turned into the California Secretary of State’s Office, which will verify the signatures. Out of roughly 1.1 million processed signatures, 668,202 (83.7%) have been validated, according to the latest data released by the Secretary of State’s Office Feb. 5. Volunteers continue to collect an additional 100,000 signatures a week and Bate said he expects the recall effort will break two million signatures by the March 17 deadline to turn them into the state. Recall organizers said they are also using the accounting firm GOCO to verify signatures. Bate said 1.668 million signatures have been validated with thousands more in the pipeline. Calling the response in El Dorado County “amazing,” Bate said the goal was to collect 10,732 signatures. Instead, 21,844 have been collected so far. An effort that is attracting people from across the political spectrum, Bate said Democrats, Independents as well as Republicans are signing the petition. He said reasons expressed for signing include higher taxes, Newsom not following his own rules (i.e. gathering for a party at the French Laundry restaurant), his ordering shutdowns amid the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping some schools in the state closed while his own children reportedly attended private schools.

Ponderosa High School junior quarterback Ryan Hardt works with head coach Davy Johnson on his footwork and mechanics. The Bruins will open their season Friday at Oakmont High School.
Football kicks-off Thomas Frey Staff writer Football is back and El Dorado, Golden Sierra, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa and Union Mine high schools are returning to action this week after more than a year without a sanctioned game. On Friday El Dorado will host Galt, Golden Sierra will welcome San Juan, Ponderosa will head to Oakmont and Union Mine will play at home against Truckee. On Saturday Oak Ridge will travel to Folsom in a clash between the two past Division 1 Sac-Joaquin Section champions. All five schools will have newcomers at quarterback when the season opens. The teams will play anywhere from a fourto-six-game season and there will be no playoffs. It’s still up in the air exactly what restrictions will be imposed for spectators or if they will even be allowed at all but area head coaches say they expect parents and/or gaurdians will be able to attend. Friday’s games will start between 7 and 7:30 p.m. and Saturday’s match at 6 p.m. Don’t miss Wednesday’s edition of the Mountain Democrat as we look at the talent the Union Mine, El Dorado and Golden Sierra football teams have in their lineup this pandemic-abbreviated season.
Bruins packing a punch Thomas Frey Staff writer
The Ponderosa High School Bruins will be led by quarterback Ryan Hardt when they hit the turf at Oakmont High School in Roseville Friday night. Hardt, a 6-foot, 3-inch junior played junior varsity last season and will be taking over for Stanford University baseball commit Ty Uber, who is focused on the diamond this season. Since taking over the offense, Hardt has been working with the team’s receivers, including senior Cody Pomi. “He’s improved a lot in the last couple years,” Pomi said. “He’s gotten a lot better. I can see him becoming a leader.” Joining Pomi as offensive weapons at wide receiver will be seniors Gagan Singh, Josh Callaway and Trace Nordquist, who will also be the backup quarterback. Seniors Henry Seymour, Joey Mendenhall and Garrett Elzinga will be three of the starters on the offensive line who will block for a n

Oak Ridge all business as season approaches Thomas Frey Staff writer
he was thinking ‘this year I get to learn from one of the best quarterbacks ever to come through here’ and the next year would be his time. Since getting the official word, he’s been taking the lion’s share of the snaps and taking a leadership role in our offense.”
The last time Drew Cowart threw a pass in a game was during the 2019 football season for the Oak Ridge High School freshman team. The next time he lines up behind center, it will be March 13 against one of the most storied programs in the region, the Folsom High School Bulldogs.
Cowart said his goal was to start at quarterback from the moment he got called up to varsity. At the time, he was behind Lamson on the depth chart but he became a sponge. For eight months before Lamson left to Syracuse, Cowart worked tirelessly with the star quarterback to learn everything he could.
Fall 2020 was supposed to be Justin Lamson’s senior season but with the uncertainty of whether a season would occur, Lamson graduated high school early and enrolled at Syracuse University at the end of January.

this team and I was just happy that my coaches trusted me enough to lead this team as a sophomore.” Wide receiver Brandon Barthel pushed himself to the limit this offseason and was out on the field working on routes a countless amount of times with Lamson and Cowart. He said he has noticed Cowart’s arm strength has improved and his reads as well during the offseason. A season ago Barthel was one of Lamson’s top receiving weapons and caught 48 passes for 714 yards and five touchdowns. “It’s nice having a threat like Brandon,” Cowart said. “He can beat anyone with speed or physicality or even the mental part of the game. He’s a pretty smart guy.”

This year Barthel will also play defensive back. He said playing receiver has given him insight to the defensive side of the ball. “It helps a lot playing receiver because you kind of get a feeling for what route they’re going to run,” Barthel said. Trojans linebacker Hunter Nabers, who is committed to California State University, Fresno, said Barthel is learning defense quickly and knows how to police and lead the outside. Nabers and fellow senior linebacker Ryan Enney have become a well-oiled machine. In their careers they have combined for 333 tackles. Last season as juniors the duo combined for 210 tackles. “I feel like we’re the dynamic duo,” Nabors said. “I feel like we work together really well side by side. We both know each position really well so I can play his position or he can play mine.” Each were named to the All Metro team last season and Cavaliere and the coaching staff said they are ecstatic to have them returning. “I can’t tell you how excited Coach Jonutz (defensive coordinator) is,” Cavaliere said. “It’s the best tandem he’s had in his history at Oak Ridge for sure and I’d be willing to bet probably the best in his coaching career.” The duo will also play tight end this year along with defensive end Elijah Hansen. After missing the beginning of last season due to a concussion, Hansen exploded at the end of the season and had four sacks in the Trojans’ opening round playoff win against Turlock Nov. 15, 2019. “Elijah stepped into that role,” Cavaliere said. “We just couldn’t believe how quickly he adapted and became a player.” Cowart said he feels comfortable throwing to a number of guys including Barthel, juniors Aden Clark, Sean Dwyer, Luke Armstrong, Nick Ecaterinis and especially sophomore Sebastian Sutton, who he said he has played with since seventh grade on the Junior Trojans. “We have a super good chemistry and our timing is far better than I have with any other receiver,” said Cowart. The time for Saturday’s game at Folsom High School is 6 p.m. The Trojans are scheduled to also play Whitney, Rocklin, Del Oro and Granite Bay high schools this season.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Uncertainties and risks are inevitable parts of life. You’re not one to tempt fate, nor would you run and hide instead of seizing the chance at an experience of the sort of wholesome pleasures that make your heart so vibrantly alive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Memory is subjective and unreliable. Even people raised in the same house can have vastly different memories of what happened within those walls. Today will bring up the need to account for variances of recollection. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Support can come in many forms. Today, the kind that’s called for is hands-off. You believe in someone and show it by stepping back to allow them to handle things in their own way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Many of the challenges you deal with are the same ones we all deal with. Then there’s the one that’s so unique to you that you sometimes feel you’re the only one with it. That’s not necessarily true, as you’ll discover today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find it hard to get in the swing. Maybe because you feel torn between said swing and the slide, teeter-totter or merry-go-round. Well, you know that it has to be the swing. The sooner you get into it, the higher you’ll go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone has their personal mythology and many are reluctant to revise, even when it is not particularly flattering, useful or empowering. Flexible and forward-thinking, you see the benefit of story adapta-
tions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In a typical day, dozens of problems and hundreds of ideas vie for your attention. This doesn’t always stress you because you’re choosey with your focus. Be even choosier. Today’s peace relies on it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mind keeps returning to a certain event, not because there is something to untangle there, but because you’re now habituated to the thought process. A deliberate pattern-interrupt is the beginning of the fix. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day brings a storm of possibilities and potentials. You’ll know when an idea is good enough to act on because a waiting list will quickly assemble behind it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It doesn’t take a fancy vocabulary or deft phrasing to communicate skillfully. You’ve the tools to say what’s on your mind in a dozen different ways, but you choose to act it out instead -- brilliant! You’ll earn trust. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You tune in to other people’s preferences because you find the differences in people fascinating. This natural proclivity also just happens to be an excellent strategy for increasing your influence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being accountable to certain authorities, your life got easier and better when you learned to see things the way they did. Today you’ll gain insights as you alternate lenses between theirs and your own.

Everyone is essential
P
oliticians have too much power over our lives. Many used the pandemic as another excuse to take more. Early on, politicians declared they would decide who was “essential.” Everyone else was told to stay home. John Stossel Much of the economy stopped. Millions were laid off. Then politicians relaxed the rules for industries that they deemed “essential.” “You can’t just call somebody essential without implicitly suggesting that half the workforce is not essential,” points out Mike Rowe, host of the surprise hit TV series “Dirty Jobs.” That’s a big problem, said Rowe, because people find purpose in work. Now the Biden administration is eager to give money to people not working, pushing a new stimulus package that would pay the unemployed an additional $400 each week. Since states like mine tack on as much as $500 per week in unemployment benefits, many people learn that the $900 per week leaves them with more money if they don’t go back to work. So, many don’t. But staying home imposes costs, too. Calls to suicide hotlines are up. Domestic violence is up. “It’s happening because people simply don’t feel valued,” said Rowe. Politicians claim they save lives when they order businesses to close. When Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a lockdown, he said, “If everything we do saves just one life, I’ll be happy.” Rowe mocks that in my new video last week. “Let’s knock the speed limit down to 10 miles an hour ... make cars out of rubber ... make everybody wear a helmet,” he said. “Cars are a lot safer in the driveway ... ships a lot safer when they don’t leave harbor and people are safer when they sit quietly in their basements, but that’s not why cars, ships and people are on the planet.” Rowe pointed out that working and accomplishing things are big parts of what makes life worth living. He runs a foundation that gives scholarships to people to help them learn trades like construction. Of course, construction is dangerous. Some people get killed. Cuomo, should we stop building things? Rowe likes the phrase “Safety third!” as a response to people who constantly preach, “Safety first!” “The ones who really get it done — they’re not out there talking about safety first. They know that other things come first ... Every single time I’ve hurt myself, it’s always been in that fraction of a moment where I take my eye off the ball and I start to think that maybe somebody somewhere cares more about my well-being than me,” he said. Rowe said COVID-19 challenges us “to figure out how to live in a dangerous world. But guess what? That’s always been the case.” He cites C.S. Lewis’ essay, “On Living in an Atomic Age,” in which Lewis asks: “How are we supposed to live in a world with atomic weapons when everything could be over like that? ... (Lewis answered,) the same way we lived in a world when the Vikings n

Letters to the Editor Heartfelt thanks
Democracy reform
EDITOR: o my colleagues at Marshall Medical Center, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done over the past few months. We’ve had medical assistants, doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners at the Drive-Through Respiratory Clinic in Cameron Park, despite heavy rain and even snow; providers who gave up their New Year’s Day to round on nursing home patients; nurses and practice directors gave out COVID-19 vaccines at 8:30 p.m. on a Friday in senior living facilities. While I can keep singing your praises, the truest expression of gratitude comes from our patients who have tears of joy when they know they are getting vaccinated, from families who know their loved ones are being cared for when they themselves can’t see them and the lives you’ve saved through your efforts. To put it another way, Marshall’s COVID Advice Line has fielded almost 3,000 COVID-related calls, of which about a quarter were from highrisk or severely sick patients. The team at the Drive Through Respiratory Clinic has served more than 1,000 patients, giving them appropriate care and keeping those patients out of our offices and emergency department. The senior living strike team rounded and tested more than 500 patients for COVID on New Year’s Day and saved the hospital from being overwhelmed with COVID patients. The senior living team vaccinated more than 400 seniors living in congregate living situations, likely saving more than 50 lives had COVID swept through these communities. Finally, the drive-through vaccine team gave 2,360 vaccine doses, primarily to extremely high-risk seniors in their cars even in the pouring rain. When the COVID surge we had all been waiting for hit around New Year’s Eve, you were asked to rise up and you did. I couldn’t be prouder of all that you’ve done to save lives and protect our hospital from the wrath of COVID. Now as COVID is cooling off (but not gone), we are transitioning back to our “new normal.” At the same time, we have processes in place to vaccinate additional high-risk individuals in the community when we receive more vaccines. The smiles and joy on our seniors’ faces make it very worthwhile to give your time for this worthy cause. PETE BARBA, MD President, Marshall Medical Foundation
EDITOR: he 2020 presidential election revealed the many cruel and unnecessary barriers that far too many Americans still face in order to vote. From confusing voter registration instructions to long lines outside of too few polling places, there are still so many hurdles to participating in our democracy. It doesn’t have to be this way — not if Congress can pass the For the People Act. The For the People Act is an expansive bill that would greatly strengthen our democracy and level the playing field for all Americans in the political process. The act is so comprehensive that it would take on the numerous barriers to voting and representation, like stopping partisan gerrymandering, overturning racist voter ID laws and ending felony disenfranchisement. It would also register millions of new voters. Many of these barriers are Jim Crow relics that continue to disproportionately impact Black and Brown Americans across the country. Prioritizing this bold democracy reform would send the strong signal that our new Congress and administration are serious about ending America’s racist voter suppression laws, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the For the People Act.

Tom Vilsack does not belong EDITOR: om Vilsack’s as Secretary of Agriculture does not belong within Joe Biden’s progressive agenda. Vilsack has served as governor of Iowa, Secretary of Agriculture under President Obama and chief lobbyist for the dairy industry. He is opposed by a vast coalition of small and minority farmers, as well as consumer, labor and environmental advocates. Here’s why: • He presided over consolidation of big ag to take unfair advantage of small farmers; • He failed to protect minority farmers and farm workers from exploitation by big ag; • He supported location of highly polluting factory farms in minority communities; • He promoted approval of numerous genetically

Rush acknowledged the importance of Oshkosh (AirVenture) and general aviation. Rush owned a Gulfstream business jet and loved aviation. I was told of the reading of the fax by a Mountain Democrat employee, Jon Meyer, who heard it live. Rush was the best radio broadcaster and personality ever. As most everyone in the world knows by now, Rush is gone forever. No one will ever take his place. One of the things I found most interesting about Rush was his high intellect and broad general knowledge. Yet Rush was a college dropout, completing only a semester or two. Rush was a prime example of hard work breeds success. He was fired from many jobs in radio but he kept attacking until he finally created a new style of radio, talk radio where he was the only talker. But he was a fabulous and talented comic with perfect timing. Most people forget
Rush was an entertainer first and a political commentator second. He could impersonate many political players like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, just like Rich Little. The left felt threatened by Rush in the community of intellectual thought. He was an entrepreneur and believed in the American way and entrepreneurism. Rush failed in radio many times, but he didn’t lie down saying he can’t do it or someone is preventing him from success. That is what the left thinks, that the reason one doesn’t succeed is because they are a victim. Someone is holding them down. Rush said you hold yourself down. Nothing succeeds or makes good luck like hard work. Take weight loss. People want success at weight loss without working. It’s why so many people buy weight loss products and don’t lose weight. But this product will work. I will lose weight without any effort. Just eat this, take that pill, drink this juice, ride this exercise bike and magically the weight loss happens.

And then we’d be better advised to go about the business of living the only life we have.” John Stossel is author of “Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media.”

show, Rush demonstrated that nothing else succeeds like hard work and that brought him “luck.” He didn’t get any handouts. He didn’t need special favors. Rush will be missed by tens of millions of Americans and others from around the world. And that’s why people like Rachel Maddow so hated Rush; he succeeded without government help.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else tells you, and I mean anyone; there is no magic to losing weight. You simply must consume less calories than you burn. But as with most leftists, there must be an easy way or you are a victim. Weight loss commercials often portray overweight people as victims. Weight loss takes work, a bit of denial and willpower. Just like succeeding at anything else. In the end or even in the beginning of his radio

At running back will be bruiser Dylan Humbird, who rumbled for 5.4 yards per carry last season.
“Our goal this year is to give our seniors experience, make sure they have something to finish their high school career on a positive note,” said head coach Davy Johnson. “Those seniors have bought into the program for three or three-and a-half years and a lot of them played Pop Warner for us before that. So it’s nice that they get to at least have something this year.”
“He’s big, he’s full of energy and he gets the team going,” Hardt said of the senior tailback. Humbird will also be playing inside linebacker and Pomi will join him defensively. In the 2019 season Pomi had 31 tackles and a 90-yard fumble return touchdown in the Bruins 35-21 win over Lincoln.

South 1 holds championships on the slopes Mountain Democrat staff Some of the fastest skiers and boarders in El Dorado County hit the slopes March 1-2 in the South 1 Alpine Race Championships at Sierra-at-Tahoe. Earning a first-place spot on the podium in slalom was Oak Ridge High School skier Caden Lowder, Oak Ridge boarders Skylar Gray and Jake Steward and Ponderosa High School skier Zoe Robinson. First place in giant slalom went to Oak Ridge skier Karson Romer, Ponderosa skier Ally Jolly and Oak Ridge boarders Jake Stewart and Skylar Gray. Due to various county and state rules, as well as health protocols, the CaliforniaNevada Interscholastic Ski and Snowboard Federation state championships in Mammoth were canceled this year. But CNISSF South 1 Division Coordinator and El Dorado High School Coach Joe Volek, along with the head coaches of
the five area high school teams competing, had a better idea — to hold their own championship. Overall Oak Ridge’s men’s board and women’s ski came out on top as well as El Dorado’s men’s ski and women’s board. Oak Ridge won the overall titles for ski, snowboard and combined while El Dorado finished second and Ponderosa finished in third. Skiers and boarders from Amador, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa, Union Mine and El Dorado high schools have met to race six times on Sierra-at-Tahoe’s giant slalom course since the South 1 season began Feb. 1.
