Motorists complied last year when patrol units were in place to enforce right-turn restrictions in South Lake Tahoe, according to Department of Transportation officials.

Tahoe’s no rightturn pilot program gets another go Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved sanctioning the right-turn restriction pilot program in Meyers cut short last year due to the Caldor Fire. The board on Tuesday voted 5-0 to reenact the program that restricts right-hand turns from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays and holidays from Sawmill Road and North Upper Truckee Road onto Highway 50. The program will run May through October. The program last year was stopped Aug. 20 and El Dorado County Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez said his staff couldn’t finish gathering crucial data during the Labor Day holiday weekend in September. During its short stint last year the program was successful in that navigation applications were not re-routing travelers through residential neighborhoods to bypass traffic on the highway. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel credited Jeff Spencer, a longtime transportation planner who was in attendance, for spearheading the plan and also thanked Martinez and his staff for trying to solve a problem that “was very bad,” she said. The purpose of the pilot program is to evaluate whether tourist traffic can be safely routed on Highway 50 during peak weekend and holiday traffic periods, whether or not emergency vehicle response time is improved and if there are any other unforeseen issues that would be made worse by the proposed turn restrictions. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl asked if the California Highway Patrol was again on board for enforcement. He said with enforcement he thinks the program can “be very favorable.” He also floated the idea of a traffic camera for enforcement. Martinez said CHP and the El Dorado County n

Oak Ridge High School sophomores Gillian Miller, Katherine Rodman, Reagan Manning, Lauren Lallana and Connor Carlson protest racism in front of the El Dorado Hills school Wednesday.

Oak Ridge students take a stand against racism n Demonstrators call for school’s administration to take more action Mountain Democrat staff Oak Ridge High School’s lesson plans cover far more than math and science these days as students protest the racist rant of a fellow student during the Division 1 CIF NorCal girls soccer championship earlier this month. School officials, reviewing video and conducting student interviews, have identified the offending student and are taking appropriate action, according to a message shared with the community by Oak Ridge Principal Aaron Palm. The student’s name has not been released. Per Education Code 49073: “The superintendent or designee may limit or deny the release of specific categories of directory information to any public or private nonprofit organization based on his/ her determination of the best interest of district students.” “Whether done on purpose or out of ignorance, a monkey/ape noise being made while an African American athlete is attempting a shot is unacceptable,” Palm’s message reads. “This individual does not represent the values at Oak Ridge, the district or our community. We are

“It’s still going on and it doesn’t even have to necessarily be for racist motivations.” — Reagan Manning, Oak Ridge sophomore committed to creating a school environment that respects everyone and celebrates differences. “In light of this incident, we are going to need to reface and decide how to move forward from this,” his message concludes. This week students spoke up as well, hoping their voices would drown out the noises that put Oak Ridge in the negative spotlight. Many gathered in front of the school Tuesday to share the message that one person’s actions don’t define the student body. When Mountain Democrat stopped by campus Wednesday, a handful of students stood with signs and talked about the incident and what changes they hope to see at their school. “I don’t understand why Oak Ridge has so many people (who) don’t know why what n

Kathryn (Katie) Land Oct. 4, 1928 – Feb. 14, 2022

Placerville resident Kathryn (Katie) Lorene Land passed away Feb. 14 at the age of 93 surrounded by loving family. Born Oct. 4, 1928 in Missouri, she moved to Placerville in 1937 with her family to escape the Dust Bowl and that sense of adventure continued throughout her life. A graduate of El Dorado High School, she married the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Land in 1947 after his return from the naval service in World War II and they enjoyed 56 years together, raising a family and operating a successful trucking business for 22 years. During this time she volunteered for many community organizations, including Children’s Home Society, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Little League, Little Theater of Placerville and blood drives for area blood banks. She loved to include family in camping, waterskiing and fishing, and she is greatly loved and respected in the bowling community, where she competed in many national tournaments. She continued this hobby until the age of 89, when it became too difficult to hold a bowling ball (though just a couple years before that she was wielding a chainsaw to cut fallen limbs, despite recently being considered a fall risk. None of those setbacks deterred her from claiming her fierce independence right up to the end of her life) During her retirement years, you would find her snow-birding to Yuma, Ariz., or fishing in the Crystal Basin lakes. Mischievous and spontaneous, she was known to pass out Rocky Mountain Oysters to unsuspecting family members and claim they were sausages while camping. And once, while driving with her grandson, she asked him if he had ever gone 100 miles per hour before stomping on the accelerator. Her family will miss her boldness, kindness and warm smile. She is survived by her three children and their spouses; Cindy Hauge (husband, Dave), Tim Land (wife, Barbara) and Carol Sanders (husband, Allan), as well as four grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Bob; sisters Patricia Wirth and Mary (Micky) Conley; brothers Dean Conley, Dennis Conley and Jerry Conley and granddaughter Erin Hauge. While no formal services will be held for the public at this time, she will continue to be memorialized with raised glasses of Golden Cadillacs or Bailey’s Irish Cream in a flavored tea.

Martha Lucille Flowers

Martha Lucille Flowers passed away Sunday, March 6 in Placerville, Calif. at the age of 98 years old. Marty was born in Finley, Okla., to Earnest James Hogan and Lucille Ross Thornton. She was the fifth born of 11 children and is of Native American Cherokee descent. She attended Chilocco Agricultural School and moved to Oklahoma City until World War II when she moved to Long Beach, Calif., and became a “Rosie Riveter” at McDonald Douglas Air Force Base. In 1946 after returning to Oklahoma, she married Ray Flowers and moved to Fiddletown, Calif., where Ray worked for Wetzel-Oviatt Lumber Co. Ray and Martha later moved to River Pines where Marty occasionally volunteered at the local post office, sat on the election board, and raised their three children; Jennifer, Kathy and Brian. In 1975 Ray and Marty moved to Shenandoah Valley, outside Plymouth where they built their home and created the ranch they had always wanted. They kept busy with horses, cattle and a walnut orchard. They joined the grange and Marty joined the Woman’s Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars. She held many offices in both organizations and volunteered wherever needed. In 1990 Ray died of complications from Parkinson’s disease. Marty lived on the ranch until 2000, when she moved to Placerville to begin the next stage of her life. After many years as a widow, Marty found love and companionship again with Mr. Lou Dudley. They shared many adventures and created many memories together. Marty is survived by her children Jennifer, Kathy and Brian; grandchildren Shannon, Elena, Seth and Brad; great-grandchildren Jade, Grace, Noah, Judah, Lola, Calla, Carolina, Brielle and Boaz and great-great-grandchildren Case and Chloe. Marty is also survived by her youngest (90-year-old) brother Conrad Hogan of Arizona. A celebration of life will be held for Marty at a later date. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 17 at Shenandoah Valley Cemetery in Plymouth, Calif. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Eskaton Village and Snowline Hospice of Placerville. Donations may be made in Marty’s name to Snowline Hospice at 1868 Broadway, Placerville. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting danerimortuary.com and signing the guest book.

Smoke rises out of a forest fire in the Volcanoville area Tuesday.

Forest fire contained near Volcanoville Thomas Frey Staff writer A fire broke out on the Eldorado National Forest Tuesday, burning 15.1 acres before firefighters were able to contain the blaze.

Editorial

Going after Putin as a war criminal

he evidence is mounting that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. That’s an accusation never to be made lightly in reference to a major world leader because even the United States has engaged in actions abroad that could constitute war crimes. But in Putin’s case, a strong case can be made that the decisions, tactics and strategies are coming straight from the top and it’s reasonable for the world to demand that he account for those decisions and atone for the mass death and destruction he has wrought on Ukraine. The attack by Russian forces on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, in southern Ukraine, was beyond reckless and irresponsible. The attack sparked a big fire that threatened the plant’s reactor. As Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted, there are 15 nuclear plants around his country under threat of Russian attack, dramatically escalating the chances of a Europewide nuclear disaster. Back in the days when Putin was a KGB agent and Russia was the seat of a vast communist empire, a Russianrun nuclear plant in He has targeted Chernobyl exploded, prompting the worst civilian areas on nuclear disaster in a mass scale — world history. Putin aims to restore the not just an errant Soviet motherland’s bomb strike here expansive majesty by or there but rather re-absorbing Ukraine and he seems intent on persistent attacks killing as many people on apartment and destroying as many civilian buildings as buildings, schools necessary to bring and hospitals. Ukrainians to their knees. U.S. officials have denounced the nuclear plant attack as a war crime. Examples of other crimes are multiplying to bolster the case against Putin. He has used cluster bombs, banned under international law, including one attack on a preschool. He has targeted civilian areas on a mass scale — not just an errant bomb strike here or there but rather persistent attacks on apartment buildings, schools and hospitals. Putin might argue that since Ukrainian civilians have joined their military counterparts, using Molotov cocktails against Russian soldiers, they can legitimately be considered combatants. But Putin’s strikes on sleeping children in apartment complexes, or on refugee shelters, belie any such justification. In its 2003 invasion of Iraq the United States used cluster bombs on a civilian suburb of Baghdad. The U.S. justification for invading Iraq — that it possessed weapons of mass destruction — was just as fictitious as Putin’s excuses for invading Ukraine. A Spanish judge actually brought a war crimes case against then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But at least in Iraq’s case, the war accomplished the capture of a far n

Letters to the Editor Confronting bigotry locally now EDITOR: n March 6 El Dorado County awoke to news of a disturbing incident of blatant bigotry and racism that had occurred at Oak Ridge High School the night before. Saturday evening, the Oak Ridge girls’ soccer team was seeking the Northern California regional championship in a match against Buchanan High School of Clovis. The regulation time ended with the game tied and a penalty shootout was required to determine the winner. Tension filled the air, as individuals from each team took turns in achieving a win. Two Buchanan players, one a Hispanic and the other African American, had their appearances met with racist taunts from the Oak Ridge cheering section. Oak Ridge won 4-2, but the victory is tainted. This isn’t the first time something like that had happened at Oak Ridge. On Feb. 25, 2016, a girls basketball playoff game was marred by similar behavior. In that case, Oak Ridge partisans directed racial slurs and body-shaming at Asian American players on Sacramento’s McClatchy High School’s team. A coincidence? Maybe. But much more likely the incidents reveal an underlying and dangerous anti-social virus within the Oak Ridge student body. It is almost certainly a small minority (we can only hope!) but that does not diminish the hatred exposed or the concern it should raise. After each incident, Oak Ridge officials said all the right things — apologizing and assuring that corrective steps would be taken. They should be commended for that and supported by the rest of us. But words are not enough. There must be consequences and they should be swift and sure. The school needs to address the causes behind the episode. Frank and open conversations are needed and they must involve students, parents and teachers. All must address the hatred but so, too, must they recognize the lack of empathy toward others who are not the same as “us.” I suggest three specific steps: • The soccer win from last Saturday should be forfeited; • Oak Ridge should schedule a day-long “stand

down” — a suspension of regular classes and activities so that several hours might be devoted to learning about bigotry, racism, misogyny, homophobia and other malignant forces eating away at our pluralistic, democratic society; • Contingents (the larger the better) of students, parents, faculty, and staff of Oak Ridge should travel to schools and communities that are different from their daily experience. Visit McClatchy and Buchanan, for sure, and maybe others. Stay in people’s homes, talk over the dinner table, attend their places of worship; in a phrase “walk in their shoes” for at least a few days. This is a difficult, even perilous, time in the world, and in our own country. We can’t “fix” everything, but we sure as hell can try to fix some things. Let’s get on with it and start locally.

Blood on our hands in Ukraine EDITOR: listened to the State of the Union Address hoping to hear that the USA would put strong sanctions on Russia to help the valiant Ukrainians in their fight for Liberty. To anyone who didn’t know the details, it sounded like we had. Yes, President Biden did say that the SWIFT international banking system would block their monetary transactions; however, this does not include the sale of their fossil fuels which accounted for 63% of Russian exports and 36% of Russia’s federal budget in 2017. President Biden also said we would take 30 million barrels of oil from the 600 million barrel Strategic Oil Reserve. This 30 million barrels is less than a two-day supply for our country and should be saved for a military emergency. We bought over 600,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia in 2021. With today’s price over $100 per barrel, that would equal over $60,000,000 per day we are paying to Russia to kill Ukrainians and destroy their country’s infrastructure. Under the previous administration we were energy independent and had oil and natural gas left over for export. We had driven the price down

In 2013 Zywicki reminds us, “Companies engaged in completely legal services found themselves losing access to bank accounts ... being forced to shut down.” It happened because the Obama administration launched Operation Choke Point, which encouraged banks to choke off accounts of pornographers, gambling businesses, payday loan operators, gun dealers and other businesses that they didn’t like. Gun dealer Kat O’Connor did everything the government demanded — filled out the paperwork, got federal and state licenses, paid hefty fees. But suddenly, online payment processors wouldn’t deal with her. She then tried companies like Stripe, PayPal and Square. “It always ended up with an email saying they were closing my accounts,” she told me. She assumes

the blacklisting was “a backdoor attempt at gun control.” It probably was. Choke Point continued until Donald Trump was elected. But O’Connor is still blacklisted. Once government labels you a problem, the bureaucrats may choke off your finances forever. That’s infuriating. But part of my job is taking the other side. So, I said to Zywicki, banks are private businesses, lending their own money. Why should they lend to people they don’t like? Private businesses can make whatever choices they choose. Zywicki had a good answer: Banks are not really private businesses. “There are barriers to entry. You have to get permission to start a new bank. ... The financial services industry is so intertwined with government.”

That government connection means bureaucrats who regulate banks can silence government’s critics by cutting off access to their money. In Canada, protesting truckers resisted pressure from police and politicians for weeks. But once Trudeau froze their money, that was the beginning of the end of their protest. When governments can de-bank you, you are not really free.

“We need to tolerate people saying things we don’t like and separate that from their ability to make a living,” says Zywicki. “We’ve merged those two things. That’s a very big threat to the free society.” John Stossel is creator of Stossel TV and author of “Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media.”

At the Ron Ruptier Invitational March 5 the varsity boys 1,600-meter race came down to the millisecond between Cougars senior Coleman Tobin, left, and Bruins sophomore Joshua Chu, right. Tobin and Chu both ran 4:34 for personal bests with Tobin edging the win for first place.

Talent showcased at Ron Ruptier Invitational Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The Ron Ruptier Track and Field Invitational March 5 was more than a kickstart to El Dorado County high school’s track and field season. It represented a return to form for the athletes after two years without a complete track and field season. Competition was fierce at the invitational against four county high schools — El Dorado, Union Mine, Golden Sierra and host Ponderosa — as well as other Northern California teams. The chilly and often sprinkling weather couldn’t put out the fiery competitiveness in county athletes, who won a total of 22 events between both the boys and girls teams among the four schools, many of them achieving personal records in their respective events.

Girls

Bruins junior Jules Sadang ran her first competitive 400-meter dash, placing first with a 1:05.88 time.

Sadang also competed on the Bruins’ winning 1,600-meter relay with seniors Elizabeth Ralph and Taryn Thalhamer and junior Addie Payne. Ralph hurdled to victory with a personal record of 51.55 seconds in the 300-meter hurdles race. Payne comfortably won the girl’s 800-meter race by nearly eight seconds. Before that Payne competed against Cougars senior Chloe Gautschi in the 1,600-meter race. Gautschi came out on top, matching last year’s personal best at 5 minutes, 26 seconds, and winning the race. Later, Gautschi won the 3,200-meter endurance race by more than a minute. For her first recorded competitive jump, Grizzlies junior Lola Wright leaped to victory in long jump, plotting to the sand at 15 feet, 3 inches. Bruins junior Janae Ocampo launched for gold and a personal record in shot put. Ocampo threw 33 feet, 6 inches, just under 3 feet from her personal best last year. n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). The one you love can hurt you with so much as a look. Knowing this, you recognize the similar power you hold and will wield that power with gentle compassion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Talent is everywhere and what you witness will get the wheels of your mind whirring. People are doing the unimaginable, though once you experience it, imagining certainly gets easier. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have many interests. Even if the people around you don’t share the same passions as you, they appreciate your wide range. For your sake and theirs, keep on exploring! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some people listen; others just wait for the chance to talk again. You’re an attentive listener who deserves the same. Today it’s better to just avoid the known offenders who can’t or won’t connect. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day has a confessional quality, including admissions you’d rather not hear. As for your own information, you like to keep it on a need-to-know basis. Later you’ll leverage all the mystery you’ve cultivated. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The potential for tedium is too high for your liking, so whatever you can do to keep things interesting is strongly favored. Elements of humor, mischief, creativity... even chaos... can help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Saying “sorry” doesn’t put things back the way they were before, but it can give the closure necessary to start again. Do they deserve your forgiveness? Debatable. Forgive anyway. You deserve the peace. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being around different styles will make you appreciate your own. It will also inspire you to change a few things. You’re the best kind of impressionable right now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The answer will involve putting people to work. This is more effective than any other way of starting a relationship. Through work, bonds are woven, loyalties forged. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People say it’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play them -- not entirely true. Good cards win. Bad cards can win too, but only if you bluff. Today’s game will be tricky; perform and prevail. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The secret to success is... there is no secret. It’s the same thing everyone knows. Work and try. Improv. Try again. When your offer is what they need and want -- success! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone has a selfimage and a public image. These two images will align in a curious way. Whatever you do, do it for you. Please yourself and don’t look for validation from any other.

He added that when the troopers were there last year motorists behaved very well but when they weren’t there it wasn’t as successful. “When the cat’s away, the mice will come out and play,” Martinez said. If the program is successful it may be enacted during the winter. Novasel said Caltrans asked that

the program not be instituted in the winter right away due to safety, the lack of traction and low visibility. “We didn’t want to overwhelm and have a big safety issue,” Novasel said. Spencer encouraged supervisors to approve the program during public comment and added that the program might be able to be used elsewhere in the county.

happened was so wrong,” said sophomore Gillian Miller, holding a “Silence is Violence” sign. “I’ve heard a lot of people scream the N-slur and other slurs on campus and I think it just needs to change. I think Aaron Palm should really start enforcing some more teaching to be taught. If someone catches someone being extremely racist then they should get a firm punishment.” Sophomore Reagan Manning said she still hears monkey noises and giggling on campus. “I think our administration has to do more to handle these types of situations,” she said. “It’s still going on and it doesn’t even have to necessarily be for racist motivations.” Reagan said she has encountered homophobia and transphobia at her school as well. “I’ve gotten barked at for the way I dress too,” she shared. “It’s not OK. I feel like our administration needs to address harassment more as a whole.” “We can’t keep enabling racist behavior and letting it fester like this because it’s not going to stop if we don’t do anything about it,” added sophomore Lauren Lallana. El Dorado Union High School District officials state in a public release, “The school will take the full disciplinary action as allowable by education code,” adding, “The Oak Ridge High School Administration is in communication with Buchanan High School as well as CIF regarding

the incident and formal apologies are being made.” The statement also notes Oak Ridge students will have discussions in the classroom this week and school-wide opportunities to reflect on what took place. A follow-up statement adds, “We fully intend that lessons to be learned as this type of behavior should never go unconfronted or ever be repeated. We will continue our ‘Respect for All’ messaging and lessons and take steps to do all we can to further prevent incidents like this from happening. We must never forget that we are all molding young minds and hearts and this is why our educational institutions exist. Our desire is that this never happens again and we will take the thoughtful steps necessary to ensure it’s not repeated.” Staff writer Sel Richard contributed to this article

n a first springtime event of its kind, Reggae Campout will hit the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville March 25-26. The festival appeals to reggae aficionados with headliners like Israel Vibration, Don Carlos, Steel Pulse, Big Mountain, Anthony B, Yellowman and Prezident Brown; the two-night extravaganza promises to be a can’t-miss event. “The Reggae Campout will be a smaller event (than Dry Diggings),” said spokesman Jeff Monser with California Roots Presents, which hosts both festivals. “We will only be allowing 2,500 attendees. This year’s Dry Diggings (the larger event) will be happening Sept. 1-4 at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley.” The Reggae Campout is expected to be a sellout event with ticket prices ranging from $75 per day to $900 for VIP glamping, which includes two VIP festival passes for the twoday show, VIP lounge, side stage viewing, front stage viewing, massage therapist, bar with discounted prices, hospitality spread and a VIP swag bag, along with one glamping tent set up with two air mattresses and bedding, one table, two chairs, electricity and lights. State guidelines on COVID-19 will be followed for the event. “We highly recommend testing before the event to make sure you’re negative,” said Monser. “We also highly recommend not coming if you’re feeling sick or showing any symptoms of any sickness. This will not be a mega-event and will be outdoors, so we will have plenty of room for people to feel comfortable.

Steel Pulse headlines the Reggae Campout’s Saturday lineup. More than a dozen artists will perform over the two-day event, March 25-26, in Placerville. “We are excited to have this event during some cooler weather,” he added. “We usually put on Dry Diggings in September and the heat is almost unbearable.” Ticket information is available at reggaecampout.com.

Talented musicians Israel Vibration is a band of extraordinary history and will be on stage Friday evening. The founders met at the Mona Rehabilitation Clinic in Kingston, Jamaica, when polio swept through the Caribbean island in the 1950s. Lascelle “Wiss” Bulgin, Cecil “Skelly” Spence and Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig (deceased) all suffered from the disease during childhood. Their friendship became a most harmonious roots reggae group. Skelly and Wiss were members of the first musical group from Mona, the SKA band Hot Lickers, which appeared on TV when Skelly was only 12 years old. Apple Gabriel attended Alpha Boys School, the musical birthplace of many legendary Jamaican artists, including

Yellowman, Leroy Smart, Johnny Osbourne and four founding members of the Skatalites. The three adopted the Rastafarian faith and started a musical group. After years of striving to get recorded, they auditioned in 1975 at the gate of Channel One Studios. Although their first song, “Bad Intention,” sung by Skelly, was not released, the Rastafari congregation Twelve Tribes of Israel gave them tremendous support through a grant after hearing them sing. The Twelve Tribes label recorded the group’s debut single, “Why Worry,” a highly charged song with spiritual messages. The release and distribution of the track in 1976-77 provided the impetus for the band’s eventual success. Leaving Jamaica for New York in 1982, the beginnings of the dancehall movement, the three split up and reunited in 1987. Apple Gabriel left the group in 1997 to begin a solo career. Sadly, he passed away in March 2020. (When performing live, a third microphone is set-up on stage for the missing singer.)

Protoje is a Reggae Campout headliner, performing March 25. Don Carlos, also scheduled to appear Friday, should be considered a “father of reggae.” He began singing as a member of Black Uhuru in 1973. He is from uptown Jamaica and in a much earlier interview he remembered Bob

Georgetown art exhibit is a ‘Grand Tour’ Art on the Divide News release

Courtesy art

Artist Karen Cogan has turned her Italian trips into beautiful paintings.

aren Cogan is the Art on the Divide Gallery guest artist this March. The community is invited to meet the artist, 1-4 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at the Georgetown gallery. Cogan is a fine artist who combines her love of travel with her passion for creating art. As a youth she took painting classes with her mother and traveled to Europe a few times in her teens and early 20s. After raising a family she resumed her two passions. She began oil painting, studying under artist Randy Blasquez, and resumed her travels to Europe with a special focus on Italy — specifically Venice, Rome, Portofino and Santa Margherita. “Traveling and looking at things

as an artist helps me see things in a different way,” Cogan said. Traveling to Europe several times, she packed up her painting gear and painted “en plein air” (the act of painting outdoors), often choosing the hotel or restaurant she frequented as her subjects and then gifting the painting to the owner — a gesture very much appreciated. Cogan’s show, The Grand Tour, highlights scenes from her travels to Italy and France. Cogan primarily paints with oil in a mixed style of impressionism and expressionism. She tries to capture memories of places she has visited and dreams of visiting. Art On the Divide Gallery, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, is located at 6295 Main St. in Georgetown. For more information visit artonthedivide.com.

Chris Cain to rock Auburn stage Saturday Hypha launches News release

Photo by Marilyn Stringer

See Chris Cain live in Auburn this Saturday.

Know

World-renowned blues guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Chris Cain will perform at the Auburn State Theatre. Cain’s latest release is his Alligator Records debut CD, “Raisin’ Cain.” With more than three decades of worldwide touring and 14 acclaimed previous albums, Cain has earned his reputation as both a dynamic live performer and a musician’s musician. His jazzinformed blues guitar playing is fiery, emotional and always unpredictable. His vocals — gruff, lived-in and powerful — add fuel to the fire. His indelible original songs keep one foot in the blues tradition and both eyes on the future. Both on stage and on record, the pure joy Cain brings to his playing and singing is palpable, and draws fans even closer in. “My songs are funky and danceable and my writing is now less personal diary than in the past,” Cain said. “I want my songs to tell universal stories.” Along with Cain is his road-tested band of bassist Steve Evans and keyboardist/organist Greg Rahn, with Cains’ touring drummer Sky Garcia and veteran D’Mar Martin sharing the skins. See Cain live beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at the Auburn State Theatre, 985 Lincoln Way in Auburn. For tickets and more information call (530) 885-0156 or visit auburnstatetheatre.org.

and Rebelution. As a member of Black Uhuru, Carlos sang alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Simpson, who led the trio. Born Euvin Spencer in 1952, he is well known in the African countries of Kenya and Zambia. Carlos has recorded more than 45 songs with a variety of artists including Groundation, Tribal Seeds and The Mighty Diamonds. The reggae roots band Steel Pulse headlines the event Saturday night. Members hail from Birmingham, England. Originally formed at Handsworth Wood Boys School, the band was comprised of David Hinds (lead vocals and guitar), Basil Gabbidon (lead guitar and vocals) and Ronald McQueen (bass). Colin, Basil’s brother (drums) and Michael Riley (vocals and percussion) also were integral to the early success of the band. The band got its impetus from listening to Bob Marley and The Wailers’ “Catch A Fire.” In 1975 Steel Pulse formed, releasing its debut single “Kibudu, Mansetta And Abuku” on the independent label Dip. Rastafarian beliefs initially inhibited the band’s reception at live events in Caribbean venues in Birmingham, but in the mid-1970s during the popularization of punk rock they began to play punk venues. Steel Pulse ultimately realized that a more natural place for the group was touring with reggae groups. The musicians found support time slots with Burning Spear, bringing them to the attention of Island Records. They also recorded on Elektra Records and MCA Records in the 1980s and 1990s. Holding on to somewhat “militant roots” from their punk days, Steel Pulse returned to those roots in 2004 with its 11th album, “African Holocaust.” The band has been nominated six times for a Grammy and won for the 1986 album “Babylon the Bandit.” Steel Pulse is noted as the first non-Jamaican act to win the Grammy for Best Reggae Album. Big Mountain, a San Diego reggae band, will be an opening act on Friday. The group started out as Rainbow Warriors in 1986 and went through several incarnations. As the band Shiloh, the musicians secured their first record deal and released one album, “California Reggae.” It was in 1991 that the band took the name Big Mountain after a Native American reservation in Arizona. The band first reached the music charts with the song “Touch My Light” in the spring 1993, taken from the debut album “Wake Up.” “Unity,” the second album, was recorded in 1994, the same year Big Mountain won Best Cover song with “Baby I love Your Way” for the MTV Europe Music Awards. In May 2016 Big Mountain released its first album in 14 years, “Perfect Summer.” Anthony B, born Keith Blair in 1976, will entertain the audience Saturday with his DJ style of “rap.” His favorite musicians during his youth were legends Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, who particularly influenced Anthony B’s music in his vocal delivery and revolutionary stance as a member of the Bobo Ashanti Rastafari movement. Blair grew up in the northwestern parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. He debuted as a DJ for the local sound system Shaggy HiPower while attending high school. In the late 1980s he became friends with other reggae artists, including Determine, Mega Banton, Terror Fabulous and Ricky General. During this time, slack songs with lyrics that degrade women were the popular style but Anthony B did not believe in degrading women so he chose politically slanted songs. He worked with Little Devon making his debut single, “The Living Is Hard,” on the Wizard label in 1993. In 2013 Anthony B released “Tribute to Legends,” which covers versions of songs by Bob Marley, The Maytals, John Lennon, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley. He has released some 20 studio albums with the latest, “King In My Castle.” coming out in 2020.

When speaking of his faith and music. Anthony B explained, “When we say burn fire we don’t mean take a match and light somebody; what we are saying is get rid of these things that are no good for humanity.” Yellowman, born Winston Foster in 1956, is regarded as the father of dancehall reggae — a musical precursor to American rap — and will hit the stage as King Yellowman Friday. In dancehall reggae songs, the DJ, also known as the “sing-jay,” combines song and rap to express sexual or “slack” themes. With a distinctive style, he helped popularize the dancehall craze in his native country of Jamaica and also set the stage for rap artists in this country. Born an albino, or dundus in Jamaican culture, Foster was abandoned as an infant. Raised in an institution, he experienced a difficult childhood. He was shunned from society, taunted by his peers and nicknamed Yellowman. As a performer, he highlighted his nickname and adopted the persona of Jamaica’s sexiest DJ. He began his career in the late1970s and was booed by the audience. Persevering, he won them over and, in 1979, he won Jamaica’s annual Tastee Talent contest with “Barnabus Killing.” By the next year, he headlined at the popular Aces Club in St. Thomas, Jamaica, and was receiving radio airplay. In his early career, Yellowman recorded the first live recording on a dancehall sound system, “Live at Aces.” The album helped catapult him and his wild Jamaican patois to acclaim. An English-based creole language with West African influences, Jamaican patois (patwa) is called Jamaican Creole by linguists. It is spoken primarily in Jamaica. Following the death of Bob Marley in 1981, Yellowman became the most popular recording artist in Jamaica, turning in his “finest hour” performance at Montego Bay’s Reggae Sunsplash a year later. In 1982 Yellowman hooked up with reggae producer Henry “Junjo” Lawes, who worked with artists like Eek-a-Mouse, Josey Wales and Charlie Chaplin. With Lawes as producer, Yellowman released a number of his best records between 1982 and 1985 on the United Kingdom Greensleeves label. After his popularity soared in Jamaica in 1981, Yellowman was the first dancehall artist signed to a major American label, Columbia Records. His first and only release on CBS Records in 1984, “King Yellowman,” earned him a Grammy nomination as Best Reggae Recording, but his first album release was in 1982 with “Mister Yellowman” followed by “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng” in 1983 on the Columbia label. In the 1980s Yellowman recorded more than 40 singles and up to five albums per year even after he was diagnosed with terminal skin cancer and wrongly given a short time to live. After the cancer spread to his throat, part of his jaw had to be removed, but by the mid-1990s he became Jamaica’s most popular DJ. His 1997 release, “Freedom of Speech,” was nominated for a Grammy as Best Reggae Album. Yellowman has remained a constant for more than 20 years. In 2018 the Jamaican government announced that Yellowman would be awarded the Order of Distinction (Officer Class). Another dancehall artist, Fitz Albert Cotterell, known on-stage as Prezident Brown, steps up to the mic Saturday. His reputation was built performing on local sound systems during the 1980s under various names. Producer and sound system operator Jack Ruby made him the resident DJ on Ruby’s Hi-Power sound system. Other artists booked for the upcoming festival are headliner Protoje (a Grammy-nominated songwriter, philosophical thinker and forefront figurehead in what has become known as “The Reggae Revival”), Jesse Royal and Mighty Mystic as well as Kabaka Pyramid, Keznamdi, Empress Sativa and the Mystic Roots Band.

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.

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.
