Oak Ridge listening to concerns about racism Noel Stack Managing editor
Mountain Democrat photos by Thomas Frey
The third- and fourth-grade class at El Dorado Adventist School taught by Nancy Schoonover, all pictured wearing the tie-dye shirts made with the colors of Ukraine’s flag, wanted to help the people of Ukraine so they hosted a pancake breakfast fundraiser last week.
In our prayers
The Oak Ridge High School staff is working to ensure an incident such as the racist taunt that occurred March 5 never happens again, ORHS Principal Aaron Palm shared with the Mountain Democrat. In the Division 1 CIF NorCal girls soccer championship between Oak Ridge and Buchanan High School an Oak Ridge student made a monkey/ape noise when Black soccer player Ciara Wilson ran toward the ball during her penalty kick. Palm said staff ’s and student leaders’ focuses have been on listening and then acting. “Whether it was students talking directly to us, anonymous emails, parent phone calls, etc., we heard about people’s experiences,” Palm said. “Hearing people’s stories was powerful. It is now time for us to put listening into action. We have put a lot of time into respecting each other’s n

hat started as a prayer at El Dorado Adventist School one week later turned into a pancake breakfast and quilt fundraiser raising $8,003 for Ukraine. Nancy Schoonover was getting ready to close out the school day with a prayer in her third- and fourth-grade classroom when a student raised his hand and asked to pray for people of Ukraine. Ukraine was invaded by Russia Feb. 24 and hundreds of civilians have since been killed. More than 2 million refugees are estimated to have fled the country. “We started a discussion about it and we talked about the suffering of the people of Ukraine,” Schoonover said. “The students said, ‘Well, what can we do? How can we help?’” “We’re doing a pancake breakfast,” fourth-grader Carter Gatling said. “We want to raise money for Ukraine.” The students also had a special quilt to auction.

The Caldor Fire can’t stop Sierra-at-Tahoe from marking its 75th anniversary April 9-10.
Fourth-graders Carter Gatling and Mackenzie Jones, along with third-grader Elle Norton and staff member Catherine Reeb, staff the welcoming table at El Dorado Adventist School’s Ukraine fundraiser Friday. Fundraiser organizers say donations will be sent to the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, which is doing extensive work to help in Ukraine.

Sierra-at-Tahoe to open for one weekend Thomas Frey Staff writer Sierra-at-Tahoe will open for one weekend only April 9-10 with live music, competitions and giveaways. The entire season the ski resort has been closed as management works to repair damage from the Caldor Fire. Trail repair continues throughout the resort but three lifts will be open — Rock Garden, Easy Rider Express and Slider Carpet as well as the Broadway Park terrain park. The weekend will celebrate Sierra-atTahoe’s 75th anniversary. “We are setting our sights on a full opening next winter, as skiing and riding will be very limited throughout the weekend, but smiles, high-fives and good vibes will be in abundance and that is truly what this anniversary event is all about,” reads a statement posted to the event website at sierraattahoe. com/75-years-of-sierra-anniversaryweekend-celebration. Lift tickets will go on sale today at 8 a.m. and more tickets will go on sale day-of based on how much parking is available. Each ticket will cost $60 while children and super seniors can get n

history will be shared with the thousands of school children and visitors who annually tour the national historical landmark site in Sacramento. Sutter’s Fort SHP has long served as an iconic memorial site principally dedicated to telling the story of Swiss immigrant John Augustus Sutter’s ambitious achievements in the early half of 19th
century. Interpretation programs have presented mostly positive narratives of Sutter’s role in supporting American settlement leading up to gold discovery in 1848, through the very beginnings of the development of Sacramento, and California’s rapid ascension into American ■

Engineering consultants have determined long-term planning for these projects will help secure Federal Aviation Administration grants that will assist in managing deep pavement distress, according to assistant director for the Planning and Building Department Chris Perry. “By doing this plan it is going to give us an upwards of a 20-year life cycle for the pavement project as opposed to five or 15 years,” Perry said. At South Lake Tahoe, the Apache Avenue Pedestrian Safety and Connectivity Project, consisting of roadway improvements on lower Apache Avenue from Highway 50 to East San Bernardino Avenue, has been pushed out due to delays and impacts from the Caldor Fire, according to the 2022 CIP project change table. Martinez said if the state does not impose its automatic gas rate increases due to recent increases in petroleum, it could potentially affect the county’s revenue stream for road maintenance projects. DOT staff will take the CIP to the planning commission for review, then will return to the board for final approval in June.

Additions and changes to El Dorado County’s 2022 Capital Improvement Program include countywide road improvements and airport pavement maintenance and management plans. One new road project on the West Slope is an ADA ramp connection to the El Dorado Trail off Missouri Flat Road in Placerville. Funding will come from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program in the amount of $356,000 and Transportation Development Act funds totaling $37,000. A second road project is the construction of a new rightturn pocket from southbound El Dorado Hills Boulevard to westbound Saratoga Way in El Dorado Hills and lengthening the existing left-turn pocket from northbound El Dorado Hills Boulevard to westbound Saratoga Way. The northbound left turn is a particular concern with traffic backing up since Saratoga Way extension into Folsom has opened up.
The following was taken from El Dorado County Sheriff’s logs:

“More people are utilizing that to get into Folsom and El Dorado Hills and because of that usage, more people are using that leftturn lane,” said Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez, presenting the proposed changes to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors March 8. The cost is estimated at $3 million. Funding will come from from Traffic Impact Fees. The restriping of Pleasant Valley Road from two to four lanes, which would provide two rightturn lanes off Pleasant Valley Road from Highway 49 to Toyan Drive, will be added as part of the Diamond Springs Parkway Project for economy of scale. “When you group projects in a larger pot you get better prices because it’s more conducive for the contractor in terms of mobility and mobilization to get their equipment out there,” Martinez said. Pavement maintenance and management plans for the Placerville and Georgetown airports have been added to the 2022 CIP for future application. Placerville’s airport maintenance plan is expected to cost $107,000 and Georgetown’s $92,000.

Teamwork tackles hazardous fire fuels at Pioneer School Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council News release “Absolutely amazing — the teamwork on this project was beyond anything I expected,” said Pioneer Union School District Maintenance Operations Coordinator Nicholas Torgerson as work on the Pioneer School Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project wrapped up this weekend. “There were so many volunteers and they really put in the time and effort,” Torgerson added. “The result of all their hard work is that this area at the entrance to the school is now less of a fire hazard and has been beautified.” The school district partnered with the Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council to organize the
event. Volunteers assembled at the school at 10 a.m. March 12 and 13, armed with gloves, pruners, chain saws, pole saws and enthusiasm. Among the volunteers were Sheila Triebull and Pat Baireuther from Omo Ranch Fire Safe Council, who came down the hill to help out. “Many hands make light work,” observed Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council member Mary Elliott-Klemm. By the end of the afternoon on Saturday the group had cleared out a large section of blackberries and brush along the creek and trimmed back trees. The job was completed Sunday. “The school district was so supportive and great to work with,” commented Greg LaDeaux,
Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council member and organizer of the event. District administrators sent out fliers before the clean-up to recruit volunteers who were rewarded with not only a sense of commmunity pride but pizza provided for the group on Saturday by maintenance coordinators Torgerson and Curtis Cladini. “We wish to especially thank Foothill Arborists for their time and chipper and the Tree Guys for volunteering their tree climbing skills and expertise,” said Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council Chairperson Janet Barenston. “These two businesses really made a difference and got so much work done. We would never have accomplished so much without them.” Volunteer Janet Carr chops away at blackberry bushes at Pioneer School in Somerset as part of a hazardous fire fuels cleanup project organized by the Aukum Fairplay Fire Safe Council and Pioneer Union School District.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
ROOT CANALS ARE NO JOKE Root canals have often been used as a punchline in jokes to illustrate something unpleasant and painful. Although that may have been the case decades ago, with today’s advancements in technology and anesthetics, root canal treatment is a routine, straightforward procedure that relieves dental pain while saving a tooth from extraction. Root canals becomes necessary when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. During the procedure, the pulp inside the tooth is removed, the root canal is cleaned and disinfected, and a filling is placed to seal the spaces. Saving a natural tooth is always preferable to extraction, making root canals a safe and suitable option since root canal-treated teeth can last a lifetime.
The Tree Guys Kevin Mills and George Staddan volunteered their tree climbing skills and expertise.
Although root canal therapy once had the reputation of being painful, almost anyone who has experienced this procedure recently can affirm that today’s techniques make root canal a virtually painless, effective treatment. If you are experiencing oral pain or have unusual symptoms, call your dentist. Be aware of threats to your health, and take steps to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. If you don’t have a family dentist at this time, we invite your call. P. S.. The first recorded effort of treatment with a root canal dates back to 1776 when English dentist Robert Woofendale developed a method of treating diseased teeth by cauterizing infected pulp to close off the tooth from infection.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

However, they were not involved and, in fact, were complimented by many at Buchanan.” Buchanan head coach Jasara Gillette-Myles posted on Twitter that the incident “completely affected the outcome as my players were physically and emotionally distraught at the monkey noises and gestures and the lack of action.” After the game, which Oak Ridge won, the Trojans athletes went up to Wilson to give her hugs, words of support
and apologies — an act appreciated by GilletteMyles. “This does not reflect the players on the Oak Ridge team because we feel they displayed good sportsmanship,” her tweet continues. “However, the officials who saw and heard blatant racism decided to not take a stand against it.” The game stopped for three minutes after the incident. Hispanic player Daisy Torres also endured abuse when a spectator barked like a dog just before she missed the shot over the goalpost. School officials announced that the student, who has not been publicly named but was privately identified March 7, would be

Gov. Newsom paints rosy picture, ignores big issues
C
alifornia is a shining example of economic and social progress, a beacon to the rest of the nation and the rest of the world. Doubt it? It must be true because Gov. Gavin Newsom said it last week in his fourth State Dan Walters of the State address, declaring, “Now, in the midst of so much turmoil with stacking stresses and dramatic social and economic change, California is doing what we have done for generations, lighting out the territory ahead of the rest, expanding the horizon of what’s possible.” He called it “The California Way” and said it “means rejecting old binaries and finding new solutions to big problems … ” However, Newsom ignored many “big problems” as he portrayed a state on the cutting edge of virtually everything positive. By any measure, the state has an immense shortage of housing that has driven costs through the roof and given California the nation’s highest poverty rate. But neither the housing crisis nor the poverty rate crossed his lips. He also sidestepped another crisis — a drought that threatens to devastate California’s agricultural industry Gov.

In December alone, 25% of America’s jobs were created right here in California. More new business starts during the worst of the pandemic than Texas and Florida combined.” Sounds great, right? But Newsom avoided the fact that California has the nation’s highest unemployment rate at 6.5%, nearly three percentage points higher than the national rate and three times as high as some states. How about education? “I’m talking about a real transformation of our public education system, like we’re doing right here in California,” Newsom claimed. “By creating choices — real choices — for parents and unprecedented

Letters to the Editor Homeless-Industrial Complex EDITOR: n the March 4 edition of the Mountain Democrat there appeared a letter from Ms. Terry Gherardi titled “Housing first disaster.” Ms. Gherardi and I are old enough to remember listening to President Eisenhower give his farewell address in January 1961. An important part of that speech is the reference to a problem our country was entering into that had not been previously named — the Military-Industrial Complex. Now the Homeless-Industrial Complex has been growing for quite some time and it’s growth is beginning to accelerate dramatically. For the most part, the players in this complex are here for one reason. The old saying “follow the money” pretty much covers it. No matter where your feelings are about the subject, if you dig deep enough you will find that this complex is big business and most players have no intention of “fixing” the problem; they only want to manage it. The bigger the problem, the more people we need to manage it and the more they all need to be paid to manage it. How many organizations are working the problem and how much is being spent and how much is potentially going to be spent? You can start at our county auditor’s website and look at the highest paid positions in the county. Many of those in the top 100 are in one way or another involved in the problem. Start with the Mental Health medical director at $461,539 total compensation. We are talking about buying motels and converting them to housing for the homeless. Getting into the landlord business means a whole new department to manage it and a bunch of those employees will make the highest paid positions list in the future, not to mention all the contract and consulting people involved. Future generations need to look at this situation closely. It has been here forever and isn’t going away. It’s your tax money. Follow the money. TRAVIS KEAHY Cameron Park

the MSM. There is no point attempting to have an intelligent conversation with the Donna Skeltons of the world because left leaning liberals cannot accept any opposing view points no matter how much factual proof is provided to them and that is when they start the insults and name calling. The comments about President Trump and “his lawless lemmings” condoning the Jan. 6 so called “savage assault” on the Capitol is not only nasty but categorically wrong. The only assault that occurred was the death of unarmed Ashley Babbitt who posed no threat to the Capitol police officer who shot and killed her. And I might add that this “officer” has a dubious past and was never investigated or held responsible for his action — wrong on so many levels. As to all the other Trump comments in her letter, they are typical of an individual who suffers from an acute case of TDS. Donna needs some serious intervention because she won’t survive the 2024 election. JAY BELL Diamond Springs
Cambridge Road traffic trouble EDITOR: pparently I’m not the only person who is unhappy about the speed of the traffic on Cambridge Road. I’ve chatted with neighbors who feel the same way. I even found an article from 2010 talking about this same issue. A fatal accident occurred on Cambridge less than five years ago just up the street from me. Since then, I have observed several very dangerous accidents that happened when drivers were turning left out of Cameron Park Lake. My neighbors fence was totaled by a drunk driver last October and it is just downright scary backing out of my driveway as it is just past a curve. According to the county, people do an average of 40 mph on Cambridge, which is why the speed limit is set at 35. I don’t have an issue with that, but is there some way we can at least get people to slow down at the stop signs? In my conversations with the county, I have been told that we are a “no speed bump” county (due to long ago litigation) and that the best solution is to call the sheriff, who will send the California

Will independent medical practice become extinct?
F
acing declining revenue prospects, physicians are shuttering their private, independent practices to join up with larger hospitals that have near-monopolies on care in the regions they serve. This trend is Sally depressing news for Americans. Further concentration of market power in these health systems ultimately results in less personalized care for patients — and higher overall costs. Over the past 20 years Medicare physician pay has increased 11%. The overhead costs of operating an independent medical practice, on the other hand, has jumped nearly 40%. Factoring in inflation, Medicare physician pay has dropped roughly 20% in the past two decades. Clearly, those who remain in the sector aren’t in it for the money. For many independent physicians, not even a miracle could make this business model sustainable.
Perhaps that’s why 2020 marked the first year independent physicians accounted for fewer than half of all practicing doctors in the U.S., according to a survey from the American Medical Association. Physicians closing up shop short of retirement Pipes typically go to work at larger hospital systems, many of which enjoy a monopoly on healthcare services in their catchment area. According to the AMA report, the number of physicians employed at hospitals increased roughly 50% between 2012 and 2020. In addition to poaching physicians, hospital systems are acquiring private practices outright. AMA data show that between 2012 and 2020, the share of doctors working at a private practice that was at least partially owned by a larger hospital system grew nearly 40%. And as the AMA survey notes, the majority of doctors employed by hospitals are younger than 40. That

AMA data show that between 2012 and 2020, the share of doctors working at a private practice that was at least partially owned by a larger hospital system grew nearly 40%. suggests this trend “will continue over the long term.” Many younger doctors prefer the more regular hours that hospitals offer, as well as a fixed salary. Private practice may be less predictable — in terms of both workload and pay. Nevertheless, the shift away from private, independent care toward corporate mega-providers should alarm patients and policymakers. For starters, care will become more expensive as hospitals expand their regional monopolies. As health systems grow, they gain undue leverage with insurance providers to propose service-price hikes. One study in the Journal of Health Economics found that prices for physician services rose nearly 15% at practices acquired by hospitals between 2007 and 2013. Without competition from independent practices, hospitals have little need to keep a lid on prices.
They can charge patients and their insurers effectively whatever they want. Diminishing quality of care is another concern. Physician pay within a hospital system is determined in part by how many patients each doctor can treat, assembly-line style. So much for patient-centered care. We’re witnessing a historic shift in the practice of medicine in the United States. And it isn’t an edifying spectacle, especially if you’re a patient in need of medical care that is humane, attentive and not delivered on a conveyor belt. Sally C.

support for their kids.” What about the devastation that COVID-19 visited upon the state’s nearly six million public school students, and the widening “achievement gap” between poor students and their more advantaged classmates? What about California’s chronically poor performance on nationwide academic tests? Not a word. Newsom bragged about the state’s leading role in reducing greenhouse gases and reducing the dominance of hydrocarbons in transportation and utilities. “At a time when we’ve been heating up and burning up, one thing we cannot do is repeat the mistakes of the past,” Newsom said. “Embracing polluters. Drilling even more oil, which only leads to even more extreme weather, more extreme drought, more wildfire.” However, he said nothing about California’s looming shortage of electrical power, already evident
on hot summer days. Nor has he spelled out how the economic impacts of the conversion to an all-electric society will be alleviated. Newsom did mention crime, at least in passing, but offered faint solace to victims of the state’s rising crime rates, particularly the wave of homicide in the major cities. “Our approach is to be neither indifferent to the realities of the present day, nor revert to heavyhanded policies that have marked the failures of the past,” Newsom said, citing more money for both law enforcement and “new programs to tackle the root causes of crime, doubling down on proven violence prevention programs.” Bottom line: As a State of State speech, it was shockingly deficient. It sounded more like a kickoff to his re-election campaign.

Placerville Speedway launches championship season Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway Placerville Speedway is ready to embark on its 57th season of competition, as Russell Motorsports Inc. showcases the opening championship point race this Saturday. The Thunder in the Foothills championship season launches with the winged 360 sprint cars, limited late models, pure stocks and mini trucks all getting their bid at a season-long title under way this weekend. Last year saw Auburn’s Andy Forsberg earn an unprecedented eighth winged 360 sprint car championship on the red clay. In the offseason however, the 45-year-old veteran shifted gears back to the familiar No. 92 sprint car, while Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery takes over the seat of the F&F Racing X1 mount. A host of other teams will be vying for victory on opening night this Saturday, which kicksoff the first of 15 point races for the winged
warriors. Diamond Springs competitor Dan Jinkerson locked down his first career limited late model title last season. On the strength of two wins, he was able to top teammate Tyler Lightfoot by 24 points at season’s end. The ground pounders are set to contest a total of 10 point races this year. Last season saw Oakley’s Nick Baldwin put together a magical campaign with the pure stocks. The talented driver accumulated six wins and finished among the top five at every show, en route to his third career track championship over Kevin Jinkerson. The pure stocks will see 15 total nights of racing in 2022. Rancho Cordova’s Mike Miller was “Mr. Consistency” with the mini trucks last year, as he earned top-five finishes at each event, including one victory. Miller won the title by a slim 14-markers over Thomas Jensen. Placerville Speedway will welcome the grassroots racing
division on seven occasions this season. This Saturday will also be a nice lead-in to next week’s Sprint Car Challenge Tour opener. Competing alongside SCCT on March 26 will be the U.S. Auto Club Western States Midgets and Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning n

control and statehood two years later. However, California Native American oral histories and contemporary scholars make clear there is a more complex story to John Sutter that has yet to be fully acknowledged. Sutter’s role in coercing labor, enslaving, assaulting and murdering indigenous people is well documented and the traumatic experiences are remembered by the surviving descendants to this day. “While Sutter’s Fort SHP focused on John Sutter’s role as Sacramento’s founder and a pioneer of the California dream, the park missed talking about the real impact of Sutter and on the Native American people,” said John Fraser, Capital District superintendent. “State Parks is committed to telling a more accurate and inclusive story so that everyone will feel comfortable visiting this historic park and reflect on its complex past.” California State Parks has spent this past year consulting with tribal nations that are sharing perspectives about what the site means to them and helping develop interpretation content for previously untold stories. The public can explore these ideas and plans at InterpretingSuttersFort. org. In collaboration with State Parks the National Park Service has approved California State University, Sacramento, to update the original 1961 national historical landmark nomination for the site. This work will provide a broader context for better understanding the diverse cultures and complex history of Sutter’s Fort, including the late 19th century efforts by the Native Sons of the Golden West and the state of California to restore and preserve the site. State Parks is hosting two workshops to seek public input on proposed language for the interpretation mission, vision, goals and themes being developed for the park’s interpretation master plan. The first virtual workshop will be March 23, 6-8 p.m. State Parks will host an additional virtual workshop April 14, 6-8 p.m. To review State Parks proposals and register for the public workshops visit InterpretingSuttersFort.org. The Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park Interpretation Master Plan is part of a larger effort within State Parks’ Reexamining Our Past Initiative. Among its goals, the initiative seeks to address interpretive programs and exhibits in California’s State Park System that fall short of fully contextualizing the state’s history. The initiative was started in 2020 when State Parks joined with other California state agencies to redress discriminatory names within the state park and transportation systems. This followed the national conversation about racist public memorials in 2019, as well as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s formal apology to Native Americans and the creation of the California Truth and Healing Council that same year.

displaced people amassing on the border. ADRA workers will be among those to help distribute provisions, according to a news release from ADRA. “The Ukraine people needed to leave their home so we want to raise money to help them,” said fourthgrader Mackenzie Jones. Everyone from the third- and fourth-grade class helped at the breakfast Friday morning. As soon as someone walked onto the Placerville school’s campus, a student handed them a laminated “Pray for Ukraine” bookmark designed by sixth-grader Peyton Bassett. Other students staffed a welcoming table or helped faculty and parents serve food to the hungry fundraiser supporters, who filled up all of the school’s lunch tables. “It was the students who were the ones who wanted to help,” Schoonover said. “The fact they want to help people in need is what makes me proud.” Schoonover said when she ran the idea by the parents, 100% of them volunteered to help.
Phil and Sachi Hiroshima, who have a grandchild at the school, helped complete the breakfast offerings by making about 80 pounds of potatoes seasoned with 30 pounds of onions and spices. The day before Sachi said they spent about 10-12 hours baking, cutting and getting things ready. The next morning they both were at the school at 5 a.m. — Phil got to work on final touches on the potatoes while Sachi readied to dish out the eats on patrons’ plates. Each plate consisted of pancakes, potatoes and fresh fruit with orange juice to drink. The auctioned quilt that was finished by now fifth- and sixthgraders just before COVID-19 shut everything down in 2020 went for $500. When Schoonover took the quilt out of the box it’s been stored in over the past two years, she said couldn’t believe her eyes. “I opened it up and saw it was yellow and blue, the colors of the Ukraine flag,” Schoonover said. “It was meant to be.”

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are less reactive to the goings-on around you. This is by design. You see certain interactions as the means to an end. You keep your eye on the prize and avoid getting snagged into dramas of the ego. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a giver and are very likely to feel more obligated than is appropriate today. Though you find it easy to serve others, it shouldn’t be an automatic default for you to do so. Consider other roles as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A lot of life can be effectively processed with critical thinking, yet it is also possible for an overactive mind to ruin things. To examine every angle is tiring and unnecessary, so just choose one to appreciate. CANCER (June 22-July 22). One definition of confidence is self-trust. It doesn’t mean you trust yourself to be perfect. It means you know who you are and what you can do so you can relax into fully embodying those purposes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People talk -- that will be a good thing for you. You’ve been doing good things, and your reputation will get even better. The respect you earn will pave the way for smooth interactions in the future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Compassion cannot be wielded in one direction like a laser. It’s a kind of love that radiates spherically. You cannot have compassion with one person over the next or be loving with someone else but not with yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is said that the truth doesn’t blush. So perhaps it is the discrepancy between what we’d like people to think and the stark reality of the situation that is to blame for today’s pink cheeks. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While it will be frustrating to tackle a puzzle alone, you’ll be amazed at what you can solve together. Shared goals will be quickly reached. It’s lucky to celebrate before you move on to the next challenge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll steer a relationship so gently your influence will be undetected. It’s as though the fates are carrying the responsibility. You think about what you want a relationship to be like and drift toward that reality. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether or not you win the battle is beside the point. To play with valiant intentions and handle the struggle with grace is the real triumph. In the end, it’s the fight that you’ll remember. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Isaac Newton noted that objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. You’ll tune into the nature of all the “objects” in your environment and adjust your expectations accordingly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you fear losing something, there’s a temptation to hold it too tight. Instead, build bonds by weaving together shared interests and good feelings, then let those ties work for you.

‘Heathers’ highlights high school’s dark side Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
B
ased on the 1988 cult classic film by the same name, “Heathers” explores many of the same themes any high school/coming of age story covers — teen angst, bullying, outcast turned anti-hero and the pitfalls of popularity. However, bleaker tropes such as teen suicide, murder, rape and homophobia inhabit this darkly comedic story, which pivoted “Heathers” from its contemporary teen films that embraced more optimistic outlooks and, more often than not, ended happily. “It is a play about staying true to who you are,” said Heather Brooks-Freer, Union Mine drama teacher and director. “It’s about having hope and remembering what friendship is really about and going back to that.” Theater at the Mine presents “Heathers,” opening Thursday, March 17. Written by by Laurence O’Keefe and Andy Fickman, the musical showcases the story of clever outcast Veronica, who desperately wants to be part of the in crowd. Unfortunately, at Westerberg High, that means the Heathers, a cruel clique of

Heather Duke (Shannon Ward), Heather McNamara (Emma Beckham) and Heather Chandler (Kelsi Havercroft) strike a pose with Veronica Sawyer (Khloe Rivera) watching in the back in Theatre at the Mine’s production of “Heathers” opening March 17. superficial girls who rule with an iron fist. When she finagles her way into the facile coterie she begins to lose her own way. She meets the dark and dangerous J.D. and things start to get homicidal. Will Veronica find her way back or continue on a destructive road paved by her sociopathic new boyfriend? Audience members will see characters change themselves to please people or fit in
and see some eventually reject those changes and return to their true selves. It’s a serious message — with a splash of dark comedy — that has resonated with students, according to Freer. “Looking at your life with that bit of dark humor gives them the ability to laugh at it,” she said. ”But also, that darkness is, ‘Yeah, this is how we feel; this is how heavy it is.’ And that laughter is how they get
past it.” Brooks-Freer admitted that when selecting her second production at the helm of the Union Mine theater program “Heathers” was a popular choice among students; when word got out, it was a tsunami. But, perhaps just as important, was the talent to pull off the demanding script there within the student body. She inquired with band and choir teacher Matt Lane and dance
teacher Caitlin Rubini, who both came on board. “I asked if we had the dancers and singers to make this happen, and they said, ‘Yeah we do,’” she said. One of those talents is senior Khloe Rivera, who plays the anti-hero Veronica Sawyer. “I’ve been singing since I was a little kid and her songs are very fun and challenging,” n

Oak Ridge Drama brings back funny with
‘The Odd Couple’
Sel Richard Staff writer
G
et ready to laugh at Oak Ridge High School’s upcoming production of “The Odd Couple” as Director Kate Rolls takes on double duty, directing 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 neat-freak and Oscar is a fun-loving 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. “I keep telling everyone that this is the world’s longest rehearsed show,” joked Rolls, referring to the production’s original run, canceled one week before opening night due to COVID-19 shutdowns two years ago. It’s also the very show Rolls cut her teeth on working technical crew as an ORHS sophomore. Cast during omicron surges, Rolls said she worried about losing cast members and decided for the first time to cast swings, those who learn two or three roles and can fill in at any moment.

Olive (Ryan San Martin), Mickey (Olivia Gregor), Vera (Liv Craine), Renee (Sienna Aloot) and Sylvie (Sophie Aguaristi) have some laughs during a friendly game. See all the comedy at the ORHS Theater March 17-19 (female version) and March 24-26 (male version). “I don’t think I could have gotten through without knowing they are there to step in,” she insisted. The swings for the female version are Mahee Haswani, Kendall Russell and Francesca Mastrengeli. The male version swings include Sam Carter, Chantilly Lamson and Brooke Smith. Seniors Eliana Eipper and Ryan San Martin head up the opening weekend of performances. Both
were cast two years ago and are thrilled to finally perform their starring roles. “It’s exciting but it’s definitely weird after waiting for so long to perform it,” mused Eipper, who plays Florence. “I wasn’t sure if we were going to do it again.” Eipper said she doesn’t relate to Florence much, finding her uptight and overly meticulous. “One of the hardest parts about this
role is that you have to put all of your energy into it; otherwise a lot of her scenes fall flat.” “The Odd Couple” is Eipper’s fourth Oak Ridge production and she relishes the camaraderie among her peers. “It’s really great when you have a good group of friends that you get to hang out and do shows with,” she said. Playing Olive is San Martin, who is savoring her second chance and said she has now come
to relate to Olive more. “I think when I was a sophomore I judged her for being a slob but now that I’m older and I don’t have time to organize or clean up, I get it.” Although San Martin said she finds Olive as a departure from her own personality, she is embracing the differences. “She’s this cocky, upfront person and I don’t really think n

H
ome gardens and yards come in all sizes and shapes, many with grass, trees, shrubs and flowers. But do you see the all-important bees and butterflies in your yard? Perhaps a hummingbird or two among the other birds? Garden and landscape ideas evolve over time, whether due to climate change, new ideas or new learning. Using native

A sterile, wellmanicured yard may be pleasing to the eye, but it does not necessarily create a biodiverse environment. An important goal should be to create a healthy, balanced, diverse landscape that can keep pests in check without using chemicals. There are many insects good for the yard; bees and butterflies excel in this capacity. Bees and butterflies are important to the environment because they serve as pollinators. Pollination is the process of bringing pollen from the male part of a plant to the female part and it is essential to the survival of all plants. Pollination is also critical to people’s ability to get fruit and vegetables. Our gardens need plants that attract pollinators and also provide them food, shelter and a safe habitat. Some plants we grow are considered aliens, not native to our climate. Despite their pleasing appearance, they do not contribute to a healthy environment. Instead, there needs to be a diverse and complex collection of plants, animals and insect predators feeding off the plants. Native insects will not survive on alien plants. You may wonder: Is that bad — do we want insects in our gardens? Absolutely we do. Insects are predators naturally keeping the garden healthy and in balance.
Photo by Audrey Brandt
Bees help keep gardens healthy so consider planting native plants that will attract good bugs.
Time to plant What should be planted to attract pollinators? Goldenrod, solidago, coneflowers, flowering dogwoods, sunflowers, asters, black-eyed susan and, most importantly, milkweed. Milkweed (Asclepias spp.) is a primary butterfly attractor. And three different species of milkweed can be planted together, which will provide a continuous display of flowering color in your garden, June through September, and attract a variety of beautiful butterflies. Many of us have planted things as attractors for butterflies; however, the insects
also need some place to reproduce. The plants are not always one and the same. One example is the butterfly bush Buddleja. It sounds like the perfect plant and while butterflies do like to feed in them, no species in North America exist that a butterfly can reproduce on. This was not always the case; but as native plants were eliminated by planting aliens, so went the proper habitat. Bees also need proper habitat for reproduction; leaves on the ground or an old bird nest will provide a lovely home. We are in a drought and we live in a Mediterranean climate. It’s not the best time to replant your entire yard,
but a good time to add drought-tolerant natives here and there. Create an area that will attract the bees and butterflies so critical to a healthy landscape. Master Gardener classes are offered monthly throughout the county.

ooking to enjoy some wide-open spaces away from the crowds? Let me share with you the sweetest lollipop trail my friend Jason introduced me to on a recent 5K fun run he organized. It is worth the short 7-mile drive past the crowded North and Middle Forks of the American River Confluence area in Auburn to the rolling hills of Cool. I have been hesitant to share much about the trails in this area because many are unmarked and I have gotten myself lost wandering around chasing butterflies and daisies. Several new signs have popped up in the area thanks to an Auburn State Recreation Area volunteer group known as the Canyon Keepers (canyonkeepers. org). Volunteers in cooperation with California State Parks placed signs to help sort out the maze known to many simply as Olmsted or Knickerbocker. ASRA Supervising Ranger Scott Liske built the forms and placed the signs. Park in the vehicle lot next to the Cool Fire Station off Highway 49. This is a $10 State Park fee area. Your California Poppy Pass will work. From the parking area, you can see the grass-covered hills
that canopy the trail a short distance as you make your way to the first signed intersection of Ranch Road Trail and Olmstead Loop. Stay straight on Ranch Road. Soon you pass a small pond and a variety of wildflowers around old foundations from abandoned homesteads. Every few yards the vista changes and may make you believe the sky is simply bigger out there. Stay on the trail as it bends to the south. Have a seat under a tree on a random rock and take in the green grasses, butterflies, wildflowers and the peace and quiet. If you have time,

Place your bets and help build a playground n Tournament to raise funds for
very special Pollock Pines project
News release
T
he Wild West Poker Tournament and Hoedown at the American Legion Hall March 26 from 3 to 9 p.m. brings old west fun to the foothills for a good cause. Presented by the Community Economic Development Association of Pollock Pines, the fundraiser will support the planning and construction of an all abilities playground in the community. El Dorado County does not have a public playground for disabled children and CEDAPP, now in its 15th year, hopes to meet those needs with an 1850s-themed park featuring two play parks and two bike parks (one each for smaller and bigger children) set in the natural hillside across from Forebay Lake. All the elements will be accessible to mobility challenged youngsters and kids of every challenge. In addition to
Day Hiker
stagecoaches, gold panning, horsy riding and more thematic fun play equipment in a color tone to match the great outdoors, there will be an 1850s western town and a Native village. Because of the need for wheelchair, pushers and other mobility equipment needed by many disabled folks, the driveways and parking lots of the entire park area will be repaved for safe and respectful attention to the needs of the families. In addition to the play areas for the younger set, there will also be a walking path for the older “kids” complete with a workout circuit designed with the older set in mind. The park will also include picnic tables, barbecues, a mini library, educational signage and more. The required California Environmental Quality Act report should be completed this summer. Fundraising continues to ensure the project’s timely completion. The Wild West Poker Tournament and Hoedown offers different options to join in the fun. Option 1 ($100) is for the serious poker
players with four cash prizes. Dinner is included along with two free drinks and two free raffle tickets. Option 2 ($50) is for folks who want the dinner and all the fun, except for the serious poker tournament. It includes one free drink and one free raffle ticket. Option 3 ($25) is for the folks who just want to come and party. No dinner included, just fun and games. Cash Prophets, DJ Phunkenstein and Interactive Entertainment will provide the live entertainment — perfect for line dancing and the two-step. Besides the official poker tournament, there will be non-gambling games such as blackjack, craps, poker, faro, Jenga, cornhole and horseshoes. Reservations are required. For more information call Jeanne Harper at (530) 6131332. Those who would like to reserve a spot at the poker table or for either of the other two options, send a check to CEDAPP, PO Box 424, Pollock Pines, 95726. Make sure to note the preferred option on the check. Drink and raffle tickets will be handed out at the door.
Olmstead Loop. Turn right to return to the parking area. Take plenty of water. Much of this trail is exposed to the sun. A hat and sunscreen will make the hike more comfortable. This short hike is only one of a dozen trails in the area. These are multi-use trails so if you do wander there is usually a friendly equestrian or mountain biker to get you pointed in the right direction. Mary West is author of the book series “Day Hiker
– Gold Country Trail Guide I, II and III” (available on Amazon), a collection of the Day Hiker columns where West shares her longtime love of the outdoors, favorite hikes in Northern California’s Gold Country and beyond. West is the recipient of the 2017 and 2019 CRAFT Award for Best Outdoor Column and the 2020 Craft Award for her second book “Day Hiker – Gold Country Trail Guide” series by the Outdoor Writers of California.

of myself as that but it’s nice because I get to step out of my comfort zone and play her,” she said. Taking on the role of Manolo is senior Tyler Abers, who is getting a kick out of being the comic relief playing opposite Eipper and San Martin. In his fifth year doing theater, Abers said he keeps coming back for the people in the program. “I’ve met some of my best friends in theater.” Playing his first lead as Oscar is junior Khyle Smith. “He’s the very opposite of who I am,” Smith laughed. “I’m more of a Felix than an Oscar. It’s strange that I got this part.” Smith, who had never heard of “The Odd Couple,” said he watched a few episodes to get a feel for the part. Though he likes his funny side, he finds Oscar a bit mean. “I would
keep some of the things in my mind instead of saying it out loud,” he surmised. Smith began theater in his freshman year when he moved to El Dorado Hills and has performed in every production since. “A play is a lot of lines,” he declared, admitting that he finds musicals much easier. “There’s no breaking out into song here … It was a challenge.” And for junior William Frago, “ ‘The Odd Couple’ is his first play,” having forayed into theater somewhat by accident. “One of my classes got cut last year and I got put in drama instead and I like it,” he said. Frago was secretly hoping to land the role of Felix. “I get told I kind of have the same mannerisms and I have some of the personality

I’m very loyal to my friends and I love them a lot.” Kelsi Havercroft, who plays Heather Chandler, heads off to college in the fall — although she hasn’t made her college choice as of yet — said performing in the spring musical during her last year at Union Mine is a seminal moment. “‘Heathers’ on the exterior is just about these psycho kids who do psycho things,” she shares. “But, to me, this show is about fighting off the

negativity.” Havercroft plays a character who, after death, follows Veronica around and pushes her toward negativity. “It’s never really a positive outlook she has until the very end,” she said. “For me, there’s a lot of that in real life too.” The teen actress said she sees hope in the overall story and that it mirrors a lot in the everyday world, summarizing, “I think that this show is very much about acceptance and pushing through the negativity and the darkness because there is always light at the end of the tunnel.” “Heathers” opens at Theatre at the Mine at Union Mine High School on Thursday, March 17, playing for two weekends.

OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 07/24/2007. 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. Trustor: Shawn Kernes, Christianne Bijasa Kernes, husband and wife as joint tenants Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, llC Deed of Trust Recorded 07/26/2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0049158-00 in book ---, page--- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Date of Sale: 04/28/2022 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE 495 MAIN STREET, PlACERVIllE, CA 95667 Estimated amount of unpaid balance, reasonably estimated costs and other charges: $ 427,206.52 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SAlE THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 737 ZUNI STREET, SOUTH lAKE TAHOE, CA 96150 A.P.N.: 033-351-012-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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 thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 427,206.52. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. 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. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SAlE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https:// www.altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2019-01793-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SAlE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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 (866)-960-8299, or visit this internet website https://www. altisource.com/loginpage.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-01793-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.
