Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the advisory Wednesday night, stating that large assemblies of 250 people or more and smaller gatherings in intimate or crowded settings should be canceled or postponed. “Changing our actions for a short period of time will save the life of one or more people you know,” Newsom said in a statement. “That’s the choice before us.

Thomas Frey Staff writer With confirmed coronavirus cases on the rise in California, many local sports events have been canceled.

Stanton Berneil Georgeson
Feb. 14, 1935-Feb. 29, 2020
Stanton Berneil (Bernie) Georgeson, 85, died Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020 at Sutter Roseville Hospital the day after a falling accident near his home in Pollock Pines. He was born Valentine’s Day 1935 in Esmond, N.D., at a very young age (his joke) to Earnest and Alma (Okland) Georgeson. When he was a teenager his family moved to Los Angeles. He had an early aptitude for mechanical things and helped his father build out a sand and gravel plant north of Los Angeles. He completed his undergraduate degree at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa where he met his wife Phyllis Jean (Jeanie) Frost. He completed a graduate degree at Chico State and became a junior high and high school industrial arts teacher in the Sacramento area. For 30 years Bernie and Jean lived in the same house in South Sacramento and raised five children. Bernie believed industrial arts should be a higher priority in our school systems. With his skills he built lots of creative things at home and at school. Many of his students won awards at the California Exposition and State Fair with projects including motor scooters, furniture and a 6-foot robot. His students competed in design competitions and achieved a world record with a bicycle for the greatest number of riders. At home his biggest project was a converted WWII amphibious vehicle, “the duck,” that he built for family vacations to Alaska. Besides his family, his duck was his pride and joy. He especially enjoyed sharing details of the design to the press or to curious on-lookers during family outings. Bernie retired in Pollock Pines where he enjoyed his trees, building a large shop and having extra space for his projects. He was known as a creative builder who was helpful in a pinch and always quick with a pun or two. In recent years he drove his duck in the local Fourth of July parade. He was survived by three great-grandchildren, 17 grandchildren, five children including Bonnie, Gary, Jon, Carol and Jim; sister Dorene; brother Lynn; and Nelda, his girlfriend of 30 years. Bernie was a man of faith and he will be greatly missed. We look forward to being reunited with him someday soon. A celebration of his life is planned for later in the year.

assistant city manager. “After a thorough review, I decided to cancel the youth basketball finals that were supposed to be held Saturday and Sunday. “We considered rescheduling the basketball games for a date after March 31. However, due to the logistical challenges of rescheduling the various gymnasiums and scorekeepers after March 31, while competing sports leagues are occurring simultaneously, proved to be next to impossible in the coming months. Terry and I prepared an email that was distributed to all coaches and parents explaining this situation.” Warren added that he and Zeller also are contemplating postponing certain special interest classes that

Sacramento State, UC Davis and the California Community College Athletic Association have suspended all sports indefinitely while the Roseville, Rocklin, Western Placer and Folsom Cordova school districts, have suspended all sports through at least April 12. These cancelations follow the NBA, NHL and MLB suspending its seasons, while the NCAA has canceled all of its postseason tournaments including the men’s basketball tournament, which had selected Golden 1 Center as one of its host venues.

announced the advisory Wednesday night, stating that large assemblies of 250 people or more and smaller gatherings in intimate or crowded settings should be canceled or postponed through March. El Dorado County is taking extra precautions in protecting high-risk individuals. The Public Health division “provided additional guidance to local facilities such as long-term care and skilled nursing facilities that have elderly and frail older adult residents” earlier this week. Officials are encouraging sites to “establish procedures including limiting and screening visitors to prevent those who are sick from entering, daily monitoring of all residents and consulting with Public Health if issues arise,” according to a press release from county public information officer Carla Hass. County officials are still advising schools to stay open. Following state guidelines, Public Heath is not recommending the closure of local school districts, “except for postponing or cancelling nonessential, large gatherings,” the release stated.
The state’s guidance “does not apply to activities such as regular school classes, work or essential services.” The Los Rios Community College District suspended all

Is failure of the 2020 Prop. 13 sign of a new tax revolt?
T
he good Proposition 13 — the one from 1978, not the $15 billion school bond — was the beginning of the modern tax revolt movement. That movement spread across the United States and even into Europe in addition Jon Coupal to spawning several additional initiatives here in California. But it’s the bad Prop. 13 on the March 3 ballot that is currently generating a statewide buzz because it appears to be headed for failure. Could this be the beginning of Tax Revolt 2.0? The 2020 version of Prop. 13 was a massive $15 billion school facility bond measure, the largest such bond in state history. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association led the opposition with a guerrilla-style campaign relying on a relatively modest $250,000 statewide radio buy, social media and nearly a hundred interviews with television, radio and print media. This was in comparison to the more than $20 million spent by Gov. Gavin Newsom and his allies. Because there are millions of absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted, it is possible that Prop. 13’s losing margin will shrink. But no matter the outcome, politicians have been put on notice that voters are growing increasingly weary of hundreds of bond and tax measures confronting them at the state and local level in every election cycle. Here’s what taxpayers can take away from the March primary election: The first is what we’ll call the “Proposition 13 blame game.” Casting about for a reason to explain why Prop. 13 is failing, the author of the bond measure, Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, is blaming voter confusion. That is why we look forward to supporting O’Donnell’s proposal to take Prop. 13 out of the ballot number rotation. At HJTA, we have seen Prop. 13 used as a scapegoat for more than four decades. But if the bond measure fails, the blame will belong to Gov. Newsom, both for failing to properly gauge the California electorate and for cobbling together a strange mix of special interests to ride along on the bond’s assumed passage. The measure included language that waived local developer fees and increased local bond debt caps. Bond proponents reportedly begged him for a smaller bond that did not include funding for UC and CSU colleges, advice that was disregarded. Prop. 13 was constructed in a haphazard manner with late changes and add-ons, finally coming together just days before the legislative session ended. The governor became the face of the campaign. Voters were unimpressed. Another trend to monitor is the widespread defeat of numerous local bond and parcel taxes. According to data from the California Taxpayers Association, voters have rejected nearly half the 236 local tax and bond measures on the March ballot and another 56 remain too close to call. This is a n

Letters to the Editor Becoming a national park EDITOR: he effort to “establish” a Gold Rush national park comprising parts of Placerville (“National Park proposal gets a reality check,” Mountain Democrat, March 9) exhibited extraordinary naiveté and perhaps duplicity. I state this from having served as president/CEO of the National Parks Promotion Council, California State Tourism director and having worked closely with national parks and park concessions for the better part of the past 30 years. The National Park Service oversees many land areas and programs, not just national parks. They include national parks, monuments, battlefields, military parks, battlefield parks, historic sites, historical parks, international historic parks, lake shores, memorials, parkways, reserves, preserves, recreation areas, rivers, wild and scenic rivers, trails, seashores and national historic districts. In Placerville’s case, the most appropriate potential designation would be for the town’s most historically accurate areas to be designated as within a national historic district. Similar national historic districts include portions of Breckenridge, Colo., and Charleston, S.C. This requires, however, extraordinary commitment by property owners, civic leaders and the community to historic preservation and architectural authenticity. The National Trust for Historic Preservation lists — on savingplaces.org — 10 steps to establish a national historic district, none of which appeared to have been addressed seriously in the idea floated before the Placerville City Council. That list should be addressed and settled by local proponents, property owners and civic leaders before further discussion proceeds. For the idea to become reality there would need to be broad governmental and public support, foundational research, a well-conceived plan and professional and competent leadership. Such efforts usually cost at least $250,000 to put in place. From what’s been described, the current proposers lack the ability to facilitate such an amount and there is insufficient community support for it to be considered a serious proposal. A “California Gold Rush National Historic District” would necessarily not be Placerville’s alone. California’s Gold Rush occurred not just in the Mother Lode, but also in the Northern Sierra (Plumas County), Sacramento Valley (Old Sacramento, Locke, Lodi, Stockton), Southern
T
Sierra (Kern River), Eastern Sierra (Bodie SHP), Shasta Cascade (Shasta, Weaverville), San Francisco Bay Area (Almaden) and numerous other areas across a wide swath of California. To facilitate the involvement of such widely dispersed sites would require a far-reaching effort. The single destination now most prepared for national historic district designation is Columbia State Historic Park, but it has struggled to bring together competing interests surrounding it and to get funding necessary to make it a financially viable destination. Placerville would not be easier, it would be far more difficult. JOHN POIMIROO El Dorado Hills
Letter to EID Board of Directors EDITOR: s recently as the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan that staff presented to you on Oct. 15, 2019 — just four months ago — El Dorado Irrigation District staff portrayed the Folsom Lake Intake Project as a $23.4 million project. And those not looking closely were led to believe it was a $17.7 million project. Previously, in 2017, this project was portrayed as a $9.9 million project in the Capital Improvement Plan. But with no further warning, on Feb. 24 staff asked you to vote to approve a $43 million project. And you all voted unanimously to accept the $20 million of extra cost without sending it back for alternatives or even asking from where the extra money would come to pay that extra $20 million. Further note that fully one-third of the project ($14 million) is for excess capacity that current ratepayers are being required to finance. By itself, debt service cost on that extra $14 million adds 3% to water rates. Your EID senior management team persistently dupes you. The same thing happened on the Forebay Dam, which started as a $9 million project and became a $26 million project. The same thing happened on the Main Ditch project, which started as a $3.4 million project and now is a $13 million project. Now management has presented you with a cost of services analysis and Prop. 218 notice reflecting 15-17% commodity rate increases for some (residential potable water and recreational turf customers) and 37% rate decreases for others

Election centers replace precinct voting in the county
T
he Mother Lode Lions Club worked an election center for four days, including Election Day, March 3. As club president I scheduled everyone and tried to avoid scheduling anyone two days in a row, except on Election Day, which I Michael broke up into two shifts. I worked a full day on Election Day to make the schedule work for the rest of our volunteers. The earnings would be in one check to the club that would go toward the cost of our new, three-door refrigerator. I and one other center volunteer were signed up for a district bowling tournament on Saturday, the first day of the election center. I missed the tournament since my dermatologist scheduled me right after check-in
time. That Saturday at the election center at the El Dorado Transit offices on Commerce Way was reasonably busy, but Sunday, my first day, was very quiet. We passed the time chit-chatting and listening to our inspector’s sea stories from the 1980s when Raffety he was a crewman on a naval helicopter. That led one of our club members to talk about the time he was in the Army in Germany and three different vehicles got stuck in the snow on a slope until a vehicle with monster tires pulled all three out. The election center was a very efficient set-up. Three of us operated laptops that were connected by an array of cellphone antennas to the main Election Department servers. So instead of a printed-out list of

registered voters by precinct we could look up anyone, usually by using the first three letters of their first and last names. With this system any voter can go to any election center and vote. Once a person has voted or turned in a mail-in ballot that has been opened and counted it shows up on the computer. I even had someone registered at an address in South Lake Tahoe show up at our center to vote. I thought that was pretty cool. With each of us operating a laptop, once we found a registered voter and authorized that person to vote we would print out a peel-and-stick-on label with their name, address and party registration. That was passed on to a fourth person who actually printed a ballot for them after they signed the stick-on label. As an alternative the ballot maker could also code up a card for that person to take to a booth with a touch screen that would appear after they inserted the card. After completing

the screen ballot they would press print and a printer in each booth would print out that person’s ballot. The voter would return the key and insert their printed ballot into the ballot “box,” which was referred to as a ballot bag. Everyone who used the screens enjoyed the experience. We had a simple form for people to fill out if they wanted to change their party registration or change their address. Once they filled out the form we could make the indicated change. Most of the people who wanted to change their party were No Party folks. And they didn’t all want to be Democrats. A surprising number switched from no party to Republican. Only one Republican switched to Democrat to vote in this primary. A number of people showed up with filled-out, mail-in ballots and said they wanted to get a fresh ballot. n

(curiously including filling of Parker Development’s pond). How can you not challenge the wide rate disparity and, without prudent scrutiny, authorize staff to issue its Prop. 218 notice? Integrity matters and you directors do nothing to hold management accountable. Instead you give them big raises. Ratepayers do not want a “rubber stamp” board. But that is exactly what you are and ratepayers deserve far better from their elected officials. I send the foregoing assessment to you with deep regret. GREG PRADA Cameron Park
In 2016 you had the evil of the corrupt Obama/ Clinton machine buying phony documents from the Russians and using them to get the awesome power of U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on a rival political campaign. You had deep-staters like Page and Stzrok with their “insurance policies” in case the people made the wrong choice on Election Day. The fix was so in that Hillary had already bought the fireworks for her victory celebration. But in this case, Mr. Longhofer, the people did stand up and do something and we have the lowest unemployment in a half century, the lowest minority unemployment for African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians ever recorded, manufacturing jobs coming back instead of leaving and an economy that Obama said at the end of his term would take a “magic wand” to create. Mr. Longhofer asks Americans to think if they are doing their duty. Well, Mr. Longhofer, enough of them did and we are the better for it. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

We voided their mail-in ballot and issued them a new ballot. These were Democrats who wanted to change their votes because several Democrat candidates had just dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden. Our laptops froze a couple times on Election Day, the first time being the longest. It was all those people who were voting at the El Dorado Hills fire station. We got one voter at our center because the Placerville Town Hall center had frozen up. By the time she got to us we were back up. Our system worked very well overall. Our inspector was able to solve problems by calling the computer guy at the Elections Office. Our ballot printer laptop totally went kaput and the Election Office had a replacement within less than half an hour. A March 7 editorial in the Wall Street Journal noted that “15 counties experienced problems trying to connect to online voter databases. After waiting in line four hours, many voters had to cast provisional ballots.” That wasn’t our county. Los Angeles experienced a lot of breakdowns and hours-long lines, according to the Wall Street Journal. “… one voter compared it to being stuck in traffic on L.A.’s 405 freeway.” L.A.’s real problem was the county complained that mailing ballots to every voter was too expensive, so they got an exemption. El Dorado County mailed ballots to everyone and that reduced the pressure on the vote centers. A lot of our center’s “customers” were actually dropping off the mail ballots in our ballot box. Wall Street Journal critiqued L.A.’s bidding: “Only two companies bid for LA’s new voting system. “Because the one condition was that it be publicly owned – i.e., socialized. One was U.K. based company Smartmatic, which got its start developing a new system for Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela in 2004. The other had developed ObamaCare’s Healthcare. gov website, which famously crashed on its launch date. Smartmatic won. Voters lost.” I’m not sure who was the vendor for El Dorado County, but it was tweaking it up until the vote centers opened. It was a seamless operation overall. Perhaps another server would have avoided the short freeze-ups. We lost only one voter due to a freeze-up because he had to get back to work. PURCHASE • REFINANCE

NorCalUltras News release
Dear members and friends, In light of all the recent restrictions in El Dorado County, we are very sorry to report that we too have decided to postpone our Business Showcase/I Love Film Mixer event on March 20th. While we may simply be giving in to the media hype, we could not in good conscience ask you to attend even if the risk is low. The health and safety of you and your family are very important to us. We do expect to reschedule the event this year, and while we don’t have a crystal ball, we are hoping that by May things will have cleared and El Dorado County will have lifted all public gathering bans. We have asked our event location to let us know their availability for several dates in May. We will let you know the new date as soon as possible so you can coordinate a plan to participate or attend. We greatly appreciate your trust and support. Please feel free to reach out to us with questions or concerns. Respectfully

Lewis Ranch million from the Wildlife Conservation Board and $1 million from the Natural Resources Agency Green Infrastructure Grant Program. Other funding includes $10,000 from the California Wildlife Foundation and $20,000 in-kind from ARC. Elena DeLacy, executive director of the ARC, said the $53,000 difference in the cost of the project will go towards appraisal costs, escrow and title fees, an environmental site assessment, appraisal reviews and staff costs. Applications for the additional grant funding have been submitted and SRC expects all acquisition funding to be secured by the end of July, with escrow closing by Sept. 30. DeLacy didn't want to give a specific date for when the acquisition would be complete since it's subject to the grant applications being voted on and approved by the respective agencies. At the same time DeLacy said she was pleased at the announcement by SRC, saying the million-dollar grant is the first major funding commitment toward the purchase of the land. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Region 2, was the agency that originally notified ARC about the property and its significance as a wildlife corridor and assisted ARC in developing their funding requests. This was after the landowner contacted the CDFW regarding its interest in acquiring the land. "After going out to the site and seeing where it was and looking at it on maps, we felt it was a strategic opportunity to do conservation work in the South Fork American watershed," said DeLacy. "And the fact that it protects 3 miles of Greenwood Creek and other riparian areas is really important to us because it helps to preserve water quality in that creek, which is

The Lewis Ranch property lies between the communities of Coloma, Georgetown and Auburn and encompasses a lush topography of oaks and various tree species along with other flora scattered over rolling hills. a tributary to the South Fork of the American River. "This area has also been identified in the county's general plan as important oak woodland habitat and priority conservation area in the oak woodland management plan and also parts of it are identified as an important biological corridor in El Dorado County's General Plan." DeLacy said large holdings like this are increasingly rare. "We are trying to prevent housing from going into an area that is extremely prone to wildfire and already stressed to the max ... with fire stations being closed in the area and water service stressed because of the drought," she said. If the project goes through as planned, it will prevent the subdivision and development of the area. Current zoning would allow for up to 50 development sites on the land if ARC does not acquire it. SNC and DeLacy described multiple reasons for acquiring the land including helping to protect Greenhorn Creek, which is a significant tributary to the South Fork American River. That in turn will help protect the water supply to Folsom Lake. Cal Fire makes regular use of the land for training, which aids in protecting local homes and the community from catastrophic wildfires. Other agencies supporting this project include the Cal Fire El Dorado-Amador Unit,
the California Native Plant Society and Point Blue Conservation Science, according to SNC. The American River Conservancy has plans to manage the property permanently as a wildlife preserve and working ranch to be called the Greenwood Creek Conservation Area. A portion of the land will continue to be leased for cattle grazing. Public use of the land will be expanded and include docent-guided hikes, tours and managed hunting and fishing opportunities. The $1 million grant is just part of $13,555,224 in funding awarded to 27 different projects as part of the Sierra Nevada Watershed Improvement Program. Funding for these projects comes from Proposition 1 and 68. ARC continues to be active in acquiring land to conserve and protect the watershed and habitat areas for wildlife over the last 30 years. Areas that also serve as additional sources of recreation and education for the public. In 2012, ARC completed purchase of the Gold Hill Ranch and Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony Site with a $1 million SNC grant. ARC still manages this property as a working and historical landscape. SNC also recently closed a $500,000 grant to ARC for their American Headwaters forest restoration project, which is associated with the current French Meadows partnership.

with industry trends serves Justice well. A working crystal ball would be appreciated. It’s not just food and beverage that Justice is concerned with. He manages a staff of six supervisors. They lead 110 front-line staff. Justice is responsible for all of them. Asked about the number of guests served each day, he said it’s hard to pin down an exact number. On average, perhaps a thousand per day. Planning for the amount of food needed for the season is a big part of making it all work. A careful study of the previous season’s food needs is crucial. It’s critical that the right amount and variety of food and beverages is on hand, always. During the snow season that can be a challenge. When the storms blow in and shut Highway 50, the delivery system comes to a halt. Planning for that is all part of the process. Justice said hiring front-line staff is another big part of his job. Recruiting the best seasonal staff, and training them, is an ongoing process. For anyone looking to break into the food service business, this is a pretty good place to start. Justice is constantly on the go while at Sierra. Checking with guests, solving a kitchen issue or cleaning up during the lunch rush keeps him pretty busy.

Oak Ridge High School drama students are presenting “The Odd Couple” opening March 19 starring, left to right, Ryan San Martin as Olive, Liv Craine as Vera, Olivia Gregor as Mickey, Sophie Yoder as Florence, Lyla Vinciguerra as Sylvie, Paula Rabell as Renée.

Sel Richard Staff writer
O
ak Ridge High School is bringing back funny. In the upcoming production of “The Odd Couple,” Visual and Performing Arts Director Kate Rolls offers two casts performing this Neil Simon favorite. Based on the popular play, the 1968 movie of the same name starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau as two divorced men who decide to live together. Unfortunately, Felix is a neurotic neatfreak and Oscar is a funloving slob. Personalities clash and hijinks ensue. Less well known is Simon’s female version of the play featuring Florence and Olive as the main characters. This worked well for Rolls as the script was not only less expensive to procure, but also fit with the mostly female performers who participate in the Oak Ridge drama department. Coming off a heady success with six out of eight fall season musical shows selling out, Rolls acknowledges that plays are traditionally less of
a crowd draw, but hopes to pull in an audience ready to laugh. After putting on two classic British plays, Rolls said it was time for some good-old American comedy. “And what’s more American than Neil Simon,” she said, grinning. Her decision to choose two troupes was due to the small number of roles in the play. “I really want to showcase all the great talent we have here,” she said. However, it meant each group was afforded less rehearsal time and with the fast-paced, comedic line delivery from the script, the actors had their work cut out for them. Fifteen-year-old sophomores Eliana Eipper and Ryan San Martin head up the opening weekend of performances and are enjoying their first starring roles in an Oak Ridge production. Eipper said she can connect to some of Florence’s desire for order in her life but not to other parts of her character. “She’s more tense than me,” Eipper said. “And I’m not really used to playing someone so over the top.”
Eipper said her favorite part of the play is when the conflict between Florence and Olive comes to a head. “She chases me around the house and that’s really fun.” Eipper enjoys reading, knitting and writing poetry in her spare time, as well as noshing on macaroni and cheese. San Martin said she is stepping outside of her comfort zone with the role of Olive. “Her cocky, confident attitude is hard to portray, specifically for me because that’s not the type of person I am,” San Martin said. San Martin confessed she is used to being in the ensemble or playing a smaller character. “Olive’s very out there — she’s a big personality,” San Martin said. San Martin loves to sing, play guitar and piano and hang out with her friends while enjoying her favorite treat, a Taco Bell Crunchwrap.
Odd Couple’
Veterans 16-year-old junior Sophie Yoder and 18-year-old senior Kristina Doran return to the stage in the
second weekend of performances. They have become fast friends and enjoy sharing the limelight in their second production as co-stars. Yoder, who plays Florence, said she doesn’t relate to her character’s neat freak personality. “I’m super unorganized,” she said, laughing. “You should see my room.” Despite some difficulties getting into the role, she relished diving into the intricacies of Florence’s personality. “This is probably one of the most fun characters I’ve ever played. She’s so crazy and out of the ordinary,” Yoder said. “She has a lot of depth to her character so that’s been interesting to work with.” Doran plays Olive and identifies with her character’s laidback personality. “She just goes with the flow,” she said. “I really love Olive’s character, she’s just so funny. I’m used to playing a mean role and I’m enjoying playing someone who is more like my personality.” This is Doran’s first play, as she comes from
prosciutto di Parma, shredded by hand Freshly grated pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Directions If using fresh egg pasta sheets, start at one of the sheet’s narrow ends and loosely roll the sheet like a jelly roll, leaving a 1-inch tail. With a sharp chef ’s knife, cut ribbons about 5/8-inch wide. Grab the noodles by the exposed ends, lift them up and they will unfurl. Repeat with the remaining sheets. If using fresh baby artichokes: Fill a large bowl with water and add the juice of the lemon. To trim the artichokes, peel back the outer leaves until they break off at the base. Keep removing leaves until you reach the pale green heart. Cut across the top of the heart to remove the pointed leaf tips. If the stem is still attached, cut it down to ½ inch then trim the stem and base to remove any dark green or brown parts. Cut each heart in half and cut each half into 2
to 3 wedges, depending on size. Immediately place in the lemon water to prevent browning. If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw, cut each heart in half, then cut each half into 2 to 3 wedges, depending on size. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and hot pepper flakes and sauté until the onion is soft and sweet, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat if needed to keep the onion from browning. Add artichokes to the skillet (drained first, if fresh) along with the mint sprig, 1 cup water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the artichokes are almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. There should still be several spoonsful of flavorful juices in the skillet. Remove the mint sprig. Cook fresh or frozen

a musical and choir background. The lack of songs has been a challenge for her. “The memorization has been tough. Songs are easier to memorize,” she admitted. Having spent months in rehearsal together over the past year, Yoder and Doran can’t get enough of each other, enjoying down time at Chick-fil-A and Dutch Bros getting their favorite treats. Rolls’ technical theater background shines in the set. A New York brick apartment with a mural painted by Kate Horita gives a substantial feel to the show. n

FOOTHILL DINING Spring dining and wining Wine Institute he recipe Pappardelle with Artichokes, Peas and Prosciutto is perfectly wine friendly thanks to an assist from pasta, sweet peas and meaty prosciutto. Chill a bottle of sauvignon blanc and prove it to yourself. If you can’t find fresh baby artichokes, substitute frozen artichoke hearts rather than marinated hearts. California sauvignon blanc has lively acidity and bright citrus flavors, just the match for pasta topped with fresh, grassy spring vegetables. Maybe you’ve been told that wine doesn’t like artichokes? Well, it’s high time to give that myth the boot. California chardonnay can also pair with this recipe.

Pappardelle with Artichokes, Peas and Prosciutto
Courtesy of the Wine Institute
Serves four Ingredients ¾ pound fresh pappardelle or fresh egg pasta sheets or ½ pound dried pappardelle 14 to 16 fresh baby artichokes, about 1-1/2 ounces each or 1 package (9 ounces) frozen artichoke hearts 1 lemon 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, minced Pinch hot red pepper flakes 1 sprig fresh mint Kosher or sea salt 1 cup shelled English peas or frozen petite peas, thawed enough to separate 2 ounces thinly sliced
peas in the boiling water until tender, then lift them out with a sieve and add them to the artichokes along with the prosciutto. (Do not discard the boiling water; you will need it to cook the pasta.) The sauce should be juicy; if it seems too dry, add a splash of boiling water from the pot. Taste for salt and keep warm. Add the pasta to the boiling water and boil until al dente. Fresh pasta will take only 1 to 2 minutes, depending on freshness. For dried pasta, consult cooking time on the package. Just before draining, set aside 1 cup of the hot pasta water. Drain the pasta and return it to the warm pot. Add the contents of the skillet and toss gently with tongs, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems dry. Add 1/3 cup of grated cheese, toss gently and immediately divide the pasta among four bowls. Pass additional cheese at the table for those who want it.

ou’ve made the commitment and adopted a dog. What an exciting day. Now it’s time to embrace some simple guidelines to ease the transition and set your dog and family up for success. The first few days after the adoption a new pet are the most critical. However, it can actually take several weeks and months before you and your new pet completely adjust to your new lives together. Having realistic expectations, an understanding of dog behavior, the key milestones following adoption and some basic tips can make all the difference. According to Ann King, local canine behavioral
Eileen Jassowski El Dorado County Animal Services Volunteer consultant and trainer, the first three days, three weeks and three months with a newly adopted pet are important milestones. “These are common milestones when we often see changes in behavior of the dog as he or she settles in,” said King. “Emerging behaviors may be old habits resurfacing or new behaviors brought on by the new environment.” It takes time for a dog to not only adjust to a new environment, but everyone in it. Dogs learn about their environment and the people in it from
3 Days: Decompress
DO: • Join a training class for manners or fun. • Introduce your dog to a friend’s dog if both are friendly. • Have your dog assessed at a professional dog daycare facility for socialization if you’re unsure how they are with other dogs. • Find a way to consistently exercise your dog through walks, fetch, etc. There are many ways for you to enjoy time together.
DON’T: • Introduce your dog to a bunch of new people/non-family members in the first few days. • Leave high value toys or food around that the resident dog might fight over. • Don’t bother newly adopted dog while eating, give the dog time to acclimate to its new home and trust you.
DON’T: • Push your dog to do things they are uncomfortable with – build trust first.
DON’T: • Introduce any other new pets into the family until everything is nailed down with your dog.

3 Weeks: Building Trust
Keep in mind that your new best friend may behave differently with you than what you experienced at the shelter, which is totally normal. However, setting your dog up for success and helping him make a smooth transition to his new life with you can be rewarding. Your dog wants to share a lifetime of companionship and fun with you. If you have any questions about animals available for adoption at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter or how to successfully transition your new pet to your home feel free to reach out one of the staff at Animal Services or one of our volunteers. For more information call the shelter at (530) 621-5795. The three days/three weeks/three months chart below lays out the most important do’s and don’ts after adopting a new dog.
DO: • Allow your new dog to decompress. Minimum three days, which allows stress hormone levels in blood to go down. • Use baby gates and/or crate to create safe, calm area for new dog to eat, drink and rest. • Have your dog drag a light leash attached to the collar; you can gently guide him where he should be going rather than grabbing his collar. Very helpful if dog gets startled or scared and a must for shy/fearful dogs.

their first interactions and they immediately start forming opinions. Humans can relate to this concept, said King. For example, you’re introduced to a new person who’s a hugger. You’re not a hugger, but you rationalize that the person isn’t going to hurt you and our human social norms call for compliance so no one’s embarrassed. So you tolerate the hug and move on. However, the next time you see this person, you’re likely to think, “Ugh, here comes the hugger. Oh well, let’s get through it.” Some dogs (typically not huggers) get stuck in the “ugh” part of the emotional response and can’t rationalize their way through the encounter. They likely try to avoid the person. They can be scared and have a hard time snapping out it. Now, you can see why it’s so important to be conscientious about what you do or don’t do after adoption to put your best foot forward.

2020 is New Morning Youth & Family Services 50th year anniversary. Throughout the year there will be 50 years’ worth of stories about the New Morning Shelter. Readers will see stories from staff and board of directors as well as stories about the children who the agency has served through the eyes of the staff and some stories directly from the clients.
Story 10:
J
ason was being raised by his aunt due to his mother abandoning him at a young age and his birth father being in and out of jail due to drug-related infractions. His birth parents have a history of alcohol and meth abuse. Jason was made aware of his risk of becoming an addict due to his parental ties. After getting caught smoking at school, he was told to seek help with a counselor to help support his journey to sobriety. Stress is only one key factor in his connection to smoking, as the peers he surrounds himself with also smoke for social reasons. He relapsed on his birthday after being sober for three months prior. Jason had prided himself in his hard work with staying sober but after he had relapsed he continued to go back to old habits
and started getting into more trouble, not just with substance abuse but fights, verbal harassment, running away from school and having frequent outbursts both at home and at school. He doesn’t want to give up his friends who pressure him into socializing with them by doing drugs. That is the majority of their connection to each other and he finds that to be more valuable than his sobriety. During his time at New Morning, he began to start his journey to sobriety once more and learned to create boundaries for himself. His hard work gave him a sense of pride and helped with a lot of self-esteem issues he hadn’t even been aware of before therapy. His outbursts became non-existent by the time counseling was over and he was focused on goals he had set out for himself which gave him a sense of responsibility and liability to stay sober to achieve his idea of success. Though he originally had prioritized his friends over his health, he said by the end of his treatment that he realized that his own goals were worth sacrificing for, even if it meant he had to spend less time with his friends
Master Gardener classes canceled UCCE Master Gardners In response to coronavirus (COVID-19) and recent California Department of Public Health and El Dorado County Health & Human Services guidelines, UCCE Central Sierra will cancel all El Dorado and Amador county Master Gardener public events and classes.

Learn how to use Find A Grave website at meeting News release The March meeting of the Roots and Gold Dust Genealogical Society offers tips for making the most of the free Find A Grave website for seeking ancestors. Speaker Marian Kile’s presentation, “Finding A Grave for Searching and Creating Memorial Pages,” will discuss the online database of cemeteries and graves from around the world and how to search its records.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SAlE TS NO. CA-19-868599-JB ORDER NO.: 1147939 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/26/2017. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, 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 the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): ALLESSANDRA M. AUSTINCLARK, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN. Recorded: 6/30/2017 as Instrument No. 2017-0026676-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California; Date of Sale: 4/2/2020 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: At the Main Entrance of the El Dorado County Superior Courthouse - Placerville Main Street Branch, located at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $457,734.34 The purported property address is: 1313 DOWNIEVILLE DR, EL DORADO HILLS, CA 95762 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 125-61114-100 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 800280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-868599-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-873341-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

EID plans to transfer up to 8,000 acre-feet (AF) of water to state and/or federal water contractors (Buyers) to be used by the Buyers in their service areas south of the Delta in 2020. EID proposes to transfer water to the Buyers during summer and fall 2020. EID would make the water available through re-operations of three EID reservoirs to release water otherwise planned to be consumed by EID customers and/or stored within the EID network of reservoirs. The involved reservoirs and rivers/creeks would all operate consistent with their historic flow and release schedules, and would meet all applicable rules and requirements, including but not limited to lake level and minimum streamflow requirements. The proposed 8,000-AF transfer quantity would consist of releases from Weber Reservoir (up to 850 AF) that would otherwise remain in Weber Reservoir and releases from Caples/Silver lakes (up to 8,000 AF) that would otherwise be added to storage in Jenkinson Lake or used directly to meet summer/fall 2020 demands that would instead be met with water previously stored in Jenkinson Lake. Because the total potential quantity available from the three reservoirs exceeds 8,000 AF, EID would have flexibility to adjust operations at any of the reservoirs as conditions or operations may warrant during the transfer period to fulfill the proposed 8,000-AF transfer quantity. EID has directed the preparation of an Initial Study (IS) on the proposed project in accordance with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and EID’s guidelines for CEQA compliance. The IS describes the proposed project and assesses the proposed project’s potential to result in significant adverse impacts on the physical environment. It concludes that the proposed project would not have any potentially significant or significant adverse effects on the environment and, therefore, no mitigation is required or proposed and as such a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared. DOCUMENT REVIEW & AVAIlABIlITY: The 30-day public review period begins on March 16, 2020 and ends on April 15, 2020. A copy of the IS/ND is available for public review at 2890 Mosquito Road, Placerville, CA 95667, or online at http:// www.eid.org/regulatory/environmentaldocs-ceqa-nepa-. CONTACT: Please send written comments to: Brian Deason, EID, 2890 Mosquito Road, Placerville, CA 95667; Email: 2020WaterTransfer@eid.org by no later than 5:00 pm on April 15, 2020. PUBlIC HEARING: The EID Board of Directors intends to consider adoption of the ND at its regularly scheduled board meeting on April 27, 2020, or at a subsequent board meeting, after 9:00 a.m. at EID’s main headquarters building located at 2890 Mosquito Road in Placerville, CA. Board meeting schedule and agenda will be available at https:// www.eid.org/about-us/board-of-directors/ meetings-agendas-and-minutes.
