Bradley Popejoy sits in El Dorado County Superior Court March 17. The defendant is accused of brandishing a firearm in a threatening manner at three teenage girls in front of his Placerville home.
Self-defense or threatening?
Placerville man on trial accused of brandishing Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A Placerville man is on trial, charged with brandishing a semi-automatic shotgun at three teenage girls in front of his home, an incident that occurred in August 2020. The El Dorado County District Attorney’s office filed charges against Bradley Popejoy, claiming he violated Penal Code 417, which states that brandishing a firearm in a “rude, threatening or angry manner” is punishable by a maximum of a year in county jail, a $1,000 fine or a combination of both, unless in self-defense. Leading the prosecution in his trial that started March 16 in El Dorado County Superior Court Department 2 was Deputy District Attorney Jay Linden. During opening statements Linden argued Popejoy’s actions were not in self-defense. “He got angry and took it too far,” Linden said. “There are three elements to this offense — that the defendant exhibited a firearm, when he did so it was rude, angry or threatening and that he was not acting in self-defense.”
The three teenagers who were referred to as A.J., N.T. and V.R., drove to Boa Vista Orchard in Camino at 5 p.m. Aug. 29 for a picnic, according to Linden. The prosecutor said the three chose to avoid the freeway due to Apple Hill traffic, ending up on Mosquito Road for traveling. The driver, A.J., had a Black Lives Matter sign put up in the back of her silver Audi A4 in support of the movement. While traveling home, they passed Popejoy’s home on Mosquito Road, which had American and Trump flags up along its fence. Annette Popejoy, Bradley’s wife, was outside when obscene gestures were exchanged between one of the girls and herself, said the defendant’s attorney Dale Gomes. The teens were recording video at the time. During her testimony A.J., identified as Abegale Jones, revealed her friend V.R. flipped off Annette first in reaction to the flags. Jones said she originally thought Annette initiated the exchange. Jones was 17 during the time of the incident. No verbal or physical threats were made, according to n

DUI arrests have shown a concerning trend, relayed California Highway Patrol Officer Andrew Brown at this month’s El Dorado Hills Community Council meeting. “For District 1, or the general El Dorado Hills area, we conducted 18 arrests in the month of February, 10 of which were DUI and five of those were DUI crashes,” he reported. “To give some perspective, over 40% of all our arrests happened in that area.” The remaining arrests were spread over El Dorado County’s West Slope from Twin Bridges west to the Sacramento county line, north to Placer County and south to Amador County. Additionally, more than 40% of all DUI crashes happened in El Dorado Hills. However, Brown noted, the 23 crash investigations in El Dorado Hills comprise only approximately 25% of all crashes in the area, a disproportionate number. “We can only arrest so many people; we can only take so many people to jail,” Brown declared, going on to point out the financial burden DUI accidents create for police agencies, hospitals and county staff. “It’s not a victimless crime. People die daily from it. Every 2 minutes somebody is injured from a DUI crash in the United States … We’re talking about 11,000 people dying in this country every year from DUI.” Brown assured that the highway patrol is taking steps toward enhanced enforcement and arrests. “We just want to encourage everyone to please drive sober,” he urged, noting that the county was awarded a special grant to help curb DUI crashes. In addition, he cited that many of the DUI crashes have involved extremely high blood alcohol levels, upward of .20%. “That is years if not decades of practice, building up that sort of tolerance to be able to think, even consider getting behind the wheel with those blood alcohol levels,” Brown continued, warning against drug use as well. “It is not worth the risk. It’s not just alcohol. Drugs, if they impair you, you will be pulled over; you will be put in jail.”

Herb “Stoney Meadows” Stone
June 24, 1938 – Feb. 7, 2022
Herb Stone was born and died in Roseville, Calif. He is survived by his wife, Gail; his sons, Herbert Jr., Jeff and Drew and his daughters Robin, Stephanie and Megan. Resident of El Dorado County for 34 years, he served the El Dorado County Search and rescue mounted for many years as well as the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Posse. He was a man of many accomplishments. He was a 10-time World Champion Cowboy. His titles were won shooting from the back of a running horse. He trained many people who went on to win their own champion titles whether from the local level to the world level, men and women. He trained the Cal Expo Mounted Police. His job profile started at 8 years old delivering newspapers. He trained to work at a Standard gas station when they still had attendants to “fill her up.” He was also a resident deputy for Sacramento Sheriff ’s Office. However, becoming a Local 340 electrician turned out to pay better so that became his life’s work whether it was working as an electrician, traveling electrician, business manager or eventually director for the Electrical Contracts Association. His abilities to settle disputes earned him three write ups in 18 months in the Sacramento Bee. His hobbies were varied, hunting, fishing, family camping and hiking. He had a passion for flying and co-owned a flying school. He built cars, scuba diving, trained police dogs and became trainer for the Sacramento German Shepherd Dogs. He owned a pool hall and managed boxers. He sailed boats in the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. Horses, though, were another great passion. He rode in the mountains with pack horses, hunted from horseback, trail rode the Western States and competed in his cowboy dream the sport of mounted shooting. He was proud that he drove every fence post on the ranch and built most of the buildings there as well. He thanked God for what he had and had a generous heart. His daily goal was to make me laugh. You were and always will be my cowboy and I miss you greatly. I would say rest in peace Sweetheart but knowing you, you’ve found your favorite horse and are riding the hills and valleys of Heaven. Wait for me with my horse and we will ride together again.

Bernard C. Carlson
Feb. 14, 1929 – March 9, 2022
Bernard C. Carlson passed away on March 9 at the age of 93. Bernard was born and raised on a Kansas farm. In 1952 Bernard graduated college, married Christine Weilert, was inducted into the U.S. Air Force as a 2nd Lieutenant and moved to Alaska to operate and maintain air search radar systems. If that weren’t enough for one year, Bernard and Christine welcomed their first child into the world, Bernard III. He would be followed over the next few years by daughter Laura and son Dennis. By 1954, Hughes Aircraft called, offering to double Bernard’s salary to move to California and work on radar systems. He then started a remarkable career at Hughes which had him working on systems for some of the most famous aircraft in the world: F-102, F-106, SR-71, YF-12, F-14 and F-15. His career also had him working on laser targeting systems as well as the Abrams Tank gunsight. He played a key role in the development of crucial technologies in radar and lasers. Retiring from Hughes in 1984, Bernard and Christine moved to El Dorado County, becoming active in the community and local politics while restoring houses. He joined the Taxpayers of El Dorado County in 1990 serving as its secretary for 26 years. He was an active member of the Republican Central Committee, working hard to identify and promote the best candidates for local elected offices. He was also an active member of our local Kiwanis chapter, supporting all of their fundraising activities benefitting children. He got his start singing the Barbershop style in the ‘50s, even performed for John Wayne and Jane Russell. He put singing on hold for a few decades but eventually joined Placerville’s Gold Rush Barbershop Chorus. He sang with the chorus and three quartets over the next 30 years even singing in the “Music Man” with Imagination Theater. Bernie created an organization, Friends of the American River, which played a critical role in cleaning up trash and stopping sewage discharge into the American River. That organization pivoted to cover general county issues. The most recent culminated in the redistribution of improperly collected fees just this last year. Most of all Bernard loved people. He was not afraid of death, he knows Jesus Christ as his Savior, and a few days ago he had expressed his excitement of spending time with the love of his life Christine in Heaven. He was preceded in death by his wife Christine on March 28, 1999, and grandson Justin Carlson on Oct. 30, 2021. He is survived by Bernie Carlson III of Cuenca, Ecuador, his wife Linda of Port Hueneme, Calif., and their three children. Dennis and Phebe Carlson of Fruitland, N.M., Laura Berdeen and husband Jerry of Cottage Grove, Ore., and their two children. He was particularly grateful to his longtime friends Ed and Kathy White, Bob and Mary Beth Stucky, Todd White, Henry and Terri Batsel, Ellen Day, and Dave and Shirley Smythe for their friendship, love and care during his health struggles later in his life. Services will be held on April 9, 1 p.m., at the Park Community Church, 3901 Wild Chaparral Drive, Shingle Springs.

The driver of this truck hit an SUV on Lake Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe Saturday night.
Driver in South Lake Tahoe crash suspected of DUI Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A traffic collision late Saturday night resulted in one person going to the hospital with serious injuries and another being sent to jail on suspicion of driving under the influence. South Lake Tahoe police and firefighters responded at about 11:30 p.m. to multiple 911 reports of a traffic collision at Lake Tahoe and Sierra boulevards. After arriving on scene officers found the driver of a white SUV had sustained serious injuries. He was transported to Barton Memorial Hospital where he is in stable condition, according to a South Lake Tahoe Police Department Facebook post. The driver in a truck, Benjamin Garcia Reyes Jr., 23, of Freedom, was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing injury and booked into the El Dorado County jail. South Lake Tahoe police said on Sunday that the victim was driving east on Lake Tahoe Boulevard toward Stateline, Nev., when the SUV was clipped from behind by the pickup that sent it spinning out of control. Reyes remained in custody Tuesday with bail set at $60,000. South Lake Tahoe Police have made 40 DUI arrests so far this year and five this last weekend, the department states on Facebook.

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies filled the Ray Lawyer Drive Park-and-Ride in Placerville Monday afternoon while on a coroner’s case, sheriff’s officials confirmed. Officers at the scene could not give more details due to the ongoing investigation. Placerville resident Mikeah Owens, 41, who was at the scene, told the Mountain Democrat the name of the decedent was “Peter” and he had previously lived in his gold Geo Prizm in the parking lot of the library in Placerville. He had recently been staying at the park-and-

this time.” The death does not appear to be suspicious, according to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Eric Palmberg. The Geo Prizm was towed Monday afternoon.

Linden. The teenagers said they were attempting to get directions on one of their phones through Google Maps, pulling over about four houses down. Jones recalled that her internet connection was lagging and so she pulled over to make sure they were going the right direction. Gomes shared a different perspective, arguing the three girls passed by the Popejoy residence three times before the exchange occurred and that the girls stopped just past the Popejoy residence. He told the courtroom that is what triggered Annette’s fear. “She wasn’t scared when the car passed by the first time. She wasn’t scared when the car went by the second or even the third time and she threw up her middle finger; she just thought that somebody was being rude,” Gomes said. “But when those brake lights went on and that car stopped, the unknown presented itself and Annette Popejoy will tell you she was scared.” Feeling threatened, Annette made a call to 911 and contacted a neighbor along with husband Bradley, said Gomes. On-duty mailman Michael Murphy also reportedly got involved after talking with Annette. The defense said Murphy confronted the teens about harassing the homeowner. “He’ll tell you they initiated a confrontation with him and they were angry,” Gomes said. “He told them to knock it off and was about to move on when Mr. Popejoy pulled up.” Bradley arrived at the scene staring down the girls with “clenched fists,” prompting the teenagers to drive half a mile down Mosquito Road, the prosecution said. “He pulled up in a black truck in the middle of the road and left his car unattended and started charging us,” Jones said. “I really thought he was going to attack us.” Bradley’s truck started to roll so the teenagers drove off. Upset by the interaction with the mailman, Jones explained that she and her friends decided to drive back and confront Murphy to report him to his superiors, passing the Popejoy residence again. The group confronted Murphy then left for home, unsatisfied with the result and passing by the Popejoy residence again, said the prosecution. It was at this moment the group saw Bradley outside on his property holding a semi-automatic shotgun “in an angry, threatening manner, pointing the gun at the girls as they were driving by and saying ‘tell your friends to come over,’” according to Linden. “The evidence will show that he was not defending against what was going to happen there,” Linden said. “In his mind he’s sending a message to someone else and in an angry manner as he displays this firearm. He did not believe that he was in danger from these girls at that time.” Jones told the court she saw the gun raised at them. “I took that as a direct threat to my life,” Jones said tearfully. “I felt like I might die at that moment.” Gomes, who referred to a short video taken by the teenagers as they drove away from Bradley, said the gun did not look pointed at the girls and was pointed down the whole time.
Jones asserted the clip only captured a small part of that incident. “The video is very short and there were a lot of other threats that were originally stated that are not included in that video,” Jones said. “That video was taken quickly because we were all scared for our safety.” Jones said they drove about 3-5 minutes away from the house before making a call to 911. Deputies arrived on the scene and interviewed parties involved. Gomes made the case for the Popejoys that in the summer of 2020 protests connected to the Black Lives Matter movement were occurring around the nation with many businesses having to board their windows in fear that they would get vandalized. He showed the courtroom that downtown Placerville and El Dorado Hills Town Center had businesses boarded up at the height of the unrest. “Annette will tell you it was not necessarily the fear of who was in the car she felt but it was the fear of the unknown,” Gomes said. The Popejoys have moved from their Mosquito Road home in fear of staying at that location, according to Gomes. “How can a man show people who appear to intend his family harm that he is armed and that he is willing to defend his family if necessary?” Gomes asked the courtroom. “I don’t think a middle finger warrants a gun being pointed at you,” Jones said. Bradley Popejoy as of press time had not yet testified as trial proceedings continued Tuesday morning.

BRUSH UP ON YOUR TONGUE Tongue brushing, a trending topic in oral health, is an easy, quick step to add to daily brushing and flossing routines. Lightly scraping or brushing the tongue aids in removing plaque and bacteria, thus minimizing risks of gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. Tongue brushing or scraping helps improve taste, freshens breath, and eliminates harmful bacteria to the gums, thereby preventing cavities. A light scraping of the tongue after regular brushing and flossing involves applying light pressure to the scraper across the surface of the tongue several times, from back to front. Signs of an unhealthy tongue, such as pain, discoloration, or tenderness for an extended period of time indicate
the need for an appointment to visit the dentist. While oral bacteria can be your teeth’s worst enemy, routine tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, and professional dental checkups can be your body’s best friends. Has it been so long since your last dental visit that you can’t remember when it was? Then why not take charge of your dental health and call us for an appointment. You’ll find that nothing is more economical than regular professional attention to your oral hygiene. We are committed to delivering the most current state-of-the-art care in a relaxed, friendly environment. P. S. Eighteenth-century Romans first recorded the practice of tongue scraping.

California Matters
UC legislation exposed the Capitol’s bad habits
G
ov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators loosed a torrent of self-congratulations last week for acting quickly to protect the University of California from having to limit enrollment at its flagship Berkeley DAN WALTERS campus. Instead, they should have apologized because what they did encapsulated several of the Capitol’s most worrisome tendencies. The problem that the March 14 legislation purported to solve was that courts, including the state Supreme Court, had accepted the outlandish legal notion that increasing enrollment at UC Berkeley was a “project” that fell under the purview of the California Environmental Quality Act. A local group, Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods, sued to block the enrollment increase, contending that it would affect the city’s environmental ambience and therefore was subject to CEQA’s stringent mitigation procedures. When the state Supreme Court upheld that position, the university quickly sought intervention in the Capitol. With support from Newsom, Gov. Gavin legislation to invalidate Newsom and the court decision, state legislators Senate Bill 118, was quickly drafted and moved quickly to whisked through overturn a court the Legislature for decision affecting Newsom’s signature. So what’s wrong with enrollment at that? Almost everything. the University of The local backlash California, but in against the enrollment increase succeeded doing so exposed in the courts because several bad the Legislature and tendencies. successive governors had failed for years to overhaul CEQA, which had morphed from a benign instrument for protecting the natural environment into a political weapon. The weaponization of CEQA is a big factor in California’s failure to close its huge shortage of housing, misused by local opponents of housing projects and by labor unions to compel developers to use unionized labor. Former Gov. Jerry Brown once described CEQA reform as “the lord’s work” but never was willing to confront the interests that use the law for purposes having nothing to do with protecting the environment. Instead of doing the hard work of CEQA reform,

Letters to the Editor Drop the name EDITOR:
W
e are students at Edwin Markham Middle School. Our teacher recently assigned us a project based on the novel “Pay It Forward” by Catherine Ryan Hyde. “Pay it forward” is the idea that instead of paying a kind act back, you pay a kind act forward. For example, if someone returned to you a lost dog, you would give something to someone in need. Our teacher told us to pay it forward by doing something good for the community. We decided to focus on a long-debated topic in Placerville. As you may recall, the noose was removed from the city logo in 2021. It seemed as a compromise, however, as the nickname “Hangtown” remained. In many people’s opinion, and moreover, experiences, they are one in the same. The racism behind the history of lynchings primarily in the South is apparent, but residents of Placerville might feel alienated when it was brought up in regards to the Old West style of justice. Lynching is, by definition, “(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.” The men accused of robbery were lynched without a trial and this goes against our country’s principles. The Seventh Amendment says everyone has the right to a trial and our legal system is based on the presumption of innocence. Why are we so proud of disregarded principles? We both hope that this argument will not make the audience feel estranged and hopefully more people will consider removing the nickname. We are asking you to bring light to this wish that we have.

We need a leader EDITOR: ear Rob Purdie, if Vice President Pence had overturned the election we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now.

think masking and vaxxing is the only way to live. Turn off CNN and start watching other stations like News Max or OAN. You will hear the other side beside your left side. Joe Biden can’t carry on a news conference without blabbering and stuttering. How embarrassing it is to watch him on TV. We the people depend on a strong leader, which he is not. Our allies are laughing at us and our enemies are starting to do what they want without any fear of the United States. When President Trump was in office we were in charge of our own energy, we had the borders closed and we were working. With Biden sending free money to everyone, people don’t want to work. Small and large businesses are not able to find workers. People would rather wait for that unemployment check. We now face inflation at stores and gas pumps everywhere. Illegals are coming in, or should I say have been invited by Mr. Biden, by the droves — for everything free. Why would it be OK for taxpayers to take care of these people while our own, legal residents are not being taken care of? We have so much homelessness and leaders just look the other way. Politicians have let us down. How can they be trusted? They have defunded the police and now it’s hard to recruit law enforcement because the job has become so dangerous. People are killing them for stopping them for a ticket. And, no, taking guns from us is not the answer. The criminals will always have their guns. When a criminal is arrested they are out before the officer can finish the paperwork. How maddening that must be for law enforcement. Their hands have been tied by our politicians. What happened to if you broke the law you go to jail? Now people walk in a store and walk out without paying. No police will go to that call — why should they? We need law and order. Biden and Harris are the worst so-called leaders we’ve ever had. So, going back, the election should have been overturned by Pence.

rekindled and renewed — the lessons of living for today, loving sacrificially and giving of ourselves without prejudice. James would be that compassionate soul who would remind me of what’s essential in life. Now, James would not be the one our society would typically see as having all the characteristics for future success in life. But, if you look closely and see beyond the outward appearances and into the soul, maybe, just maybe, you would see a different kind of success. James would be considered handicapped. Handicapped is defined as someone being physically or mentally challenged. But, if you look closer, see with your soul and listen with your heart, you will see that James lives with an understanding, freedom, serenity and simplicity. This simplicity of life breaks the chains of materialism, anxiety, depression and worry, setting us free to live life to the fullest, loving our neighbor without prejudice and giving of ourselves without expectations in return. As Steven Covey said, “The greatest desire of all humanity is to live, love, learn and leave a legacy.”
This simplicity of life forgets yesterday’s troubles, lets go of tomorrow’s worries and passionately, joyfully lives and loves for today. What a society and community would we have if we lived these simplistic principles James lived that day and every day. It’s been said, “The moral test of a society is how that society treats the children in the dawn of life, the elderly in the twilight of life and those in the shadows of life — the sick, homeless, needy and the so-called handicapped.” Thank you, James, for brightening my day and welcoming me to enter your world and get a glimpse of what Heaven must be. Maybe God has given us these beautiful souls to remind us of what we often forget. And when we start to forget, and we will, I will remember the day I met my friend James. I saw much clearer from the day I met James. I drove home with a forgotten awareness of life that would stay with me. I am honored to be one of his friends. Maybe, just maybe, we are the ones

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). The loud voices of the world may request your attention -- or demand it, steal it, hoard it — and yet you do have a choice. Location is everything. Let your feet take you to realms you can control. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If it feels like you’ve made more than your share of mistakes, then pat yourself on the back. It means you try harder, attempt more and ultimately are stronger and better for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You gravitate to positivity, and people follow your example. Give hope to someone who needs it. Tonight shows you negotiating. It’s when you’re willing to lose that you’re in the best place to strike a deal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Right now, it may not look like you’ll win. Perhaps it doesn’t seem like this is even the right place for you. But don’t take yourself out of the game. There’s something for you and it’s just around the bend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re in a straightforward mood. You’ll be prone to sharing unfiltered thoughts and stating your intentions outright, regardless of anticipated approval. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Anyone who is moving forward is going to falter; that’s part of the growth process. Forgive yourself and keep going. The right kind of failure is as impressive as success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do everything you can to prepare yourself for an upcoming presentation. Take twice the time you think you’ll need. Preparation is the most important element and will determine to a great extent the outcome. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Motivating yourself is more a matter of planning than discipline. If you have a plan that’s easy to follow, you’ll follow it. If you don’t, you won’t. Simplify as you go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe life is no more lively “over there” than it is where you are, but it doesn’t hurt to find out. Follow your curious mind. Whether it’s another country or two doors down, investigate, engage and enjoy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re not in the mood to do just a good job; you want the results to be nothing short of greatness. The trick is to give yourself enough time to bring your project to the realm of excellence. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are impressionable. Fill your eyes and mind with the loveliest of visions. Gazing at beauty makes you even more beautiful than you already are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Gauge how hard the job is. What will it take to make it easy on yourself? Bursts of effort will progress you quickly, but ultimately, you’ll need to settle into an effort that’s sustainable. There’s an art to shifting gears..

got first place.” Stowe went to state as a freshman during the 2019-20 season, where he finished 19th in giant slalom and now as a junior, the snowboarder took second in slalom and third in grand slalom. Each event has two runs and in Stowe’s first giant slalom run he said the state-championshiplevel competition was nerve-wracking, which led him to be a little bit conservative on his way to fifth in that race. “Then in the second run I ended up placing first,” Stowe said. “I was a lot more aggressive.” Henderson was in a similar position before the final races of her career. The senior snowboarder said she was more nervous for these races than any in her entire career, including her two previous trips competing at the state level. She said she played it really safe in her first grand slalom race and sat in 12th heading into her second and final run. “Then my coach told me I needed to let it loose for my second run,” Henderson said. “He told me, ‘You’re not going to fall; you know how to do this.’ So I just went for it.” She left her caution at the gate as she carved her way down the mountain for one of the best times in the competition, jumping her up five spots to finish seventh in the state in giant slalom. “I found myself to be really focused on all of the gates,” said Henderson, who also finished 10th in slalom. “I had a lot of course awareness, which I had a hard time with this season.” Right behind her was teammate Ashlynn Hayman, who took eighth. “She’s a really good snowboarder and she’s humble,” Henderson said. “She’s such a light on our team.” Olivia Holtrichter of El Dorado had a tough go in the first run and didn’t finish. But in her second run she had the third fastest time out of more than 60 of the state’s best. The South 1 Division of the CaliforniaNevada Interscholastic Ski and Snowboard Federation consists of a handful of schools, including El Dorado, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa and Union Mine, and it is essentially one big team. They practice on the same days, compete against each other in every race and genuinely become great friends. Snowboarder Skylar Gray of Oak Ridge, who took second in giant slalom and sixth in slalom said the entire South 1 Division was cheering for one another. “Everyone was just there for each other, cheering each other on at the bottom of the race course … and we would dog pile the last person who was racing,” Gray said. “We just made sure everyone felt good after their race whether they did good or bad.” Just like the actual competition, the South 1 Division dominated the state in Top Dawg Sportsmanship Award voting. The Trojans of Oak Ridge won that award while El Dorado tallied the third-most votes

El Dorado snowboarder Myles Stowe stands on the podium after finishing third in the grand slalom event. In the slalom event, Stowe took second in the state.
Skylar Gray of Oak Ridge and Kindall Henderson of El Dorado celebrate their combined snowboarding success after receiving medals at the podium. and Union Mine the fourth most. “We kind of look past our racing bibs and just treat each other as friends,” said senior David Hettinger of Oak Ridge. “We all cheer each other on even though we’re literally racing against each other. To win the Sportsmanship Award, it’s pretty special.” Hettinger took home a fifth place finish in slalom and eighth place in the grand slalom in the snowboarding competitions and was joined in the top 10 by teammates Caden Lowder and Charles Beckerley. He said he was very excited to race but he knew the state courses were notoriously difficult and it was a very windy day. As Hettinger was waiting at the top to go for his final race, he said he could hear over the radio that an injured snowboarder was being diagnosed below. Hettinger thought the course would chew him up too but he made it down the mountain untouched and he did it in blazing speed to finish eighth in the state in grand slalom. “It was genuinely so relieving to get down … and also finish my racing career on such a high note,” Hettinger said. Gray saw much success on her snowboard runs. She took sixth overall in slalom and started off giant slalom with a run that had her seated in third. She attacked the course aggressively and had almost the exact same time on her runs to finish third.
“She just brings a level of energy to the team,” Hettinger said. A few hours later the Trojans were eating dinner as a team when the news broke that the person who took first place got disqualified for missing a gate, meaning Gray moved up from third to second. “We all just got really excited at the dinner table,” Gray said. In the women’s ski competitions, the final chapter in the season long rivalry between Carlie Chandler of El Dorado and Zoe Robinson of Ponderosa unfolded. It was a matchup that went back and forth all season and the state championships were no different. Chandler narrowly edged out Robinson for sixth in the grand slalom. Then in the slalom, Chandler recorded a 47.55 in her first run while Robinson locked in a 46.42. They were all business stepping in for their final run. Chandler took nearly 2 seconds off her original run to finish eighth while Robinson dialed in a 45.54 to finish sixth. Robinson — who made her third state appearance — said slalom is her favorite event. She told herself before the race to just have fun in the final race of her career but to stay on her feet on the technical course. “State is just such a fun experience,” Robinson said. “Being able to go up with your team and take a week off school and just do what we love for a week is super fun. We just (made) a lot of good memories.”

The biggest season thus far for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour gets under way this Saturday with a visit to the always action-packed Placerville Speedway for Spring Fever Frenzy. This weekend’s event launches the tour’s 16-race campaign. It also marks the first of its two appearances at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds venue. This Saturday’s 35-lap feature will see a solid field of winged 360 sprint cars converge upon the red clay to open the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s fifth season of competition. Last season the tour was as competitive as it gets with 10 different drivers finding victory lane in the 13 events held. Fremont’s Shane Golobic led the way with a trio of triumphs, including the final race of the year in Stockton. Foresthill’s Ryan Robinson and Weiher Racing put together an extremely consistent season, earning top-10 finishes in all but one race. The combination also earned eight top fives, including a first career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory Oct. 16 at Petaluma Speedway. Robinson ended up bringing home the $10,000 championship over Roseville’s Colby Copeland, Clarksburg’s Justyn Cox, Roseville’s Sean Becker and Auburn’s Andy Forsberg. Last year’s Spring Fever Frenzy at the Placerville bullring saw Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick earn his first career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory. The other appearance during the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial was pocketed by Cox. For fans who can’t make it to the track, FloRacing is the official livestreaming partner of the Sprint Car

Sharon Evans proudly holds her Wild West Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. The Placerville resident has spent 50 years working in the animal training industry, helping animals make their marks on the big and small screen.
Sharon Evans and her animals just ‘click’ Hilary Holt Mountain Democrat correspondent
S
haron Evans won her first animal-training award in 1973: a PATSY, or Picture Animal Top Star of the Year. Sharon’s photos of the event show a gracious Betty White and Betty’s husband Allen Ludden as presenters. A typed program — a memento of Sharon’s — lists nominees for the TV Series category: Billy (goat), Farouk (dog), Felene (fawn), Midnight (cat), Moe (chimp) and Ott (horse). Her photo of the awards stage displays animals with their trainers, although Bobby (bull) is onstage rather than a horse, there for a commercial. And the winner was ... Midnight and his trainer Sharon Lewis (later to become Sharon Evans) for an opener to a mystery series. Sharon’s career is full of nostalgia-inducing memories of TV shows, commercials, stars and spunky acting animals. Each reminiscence about an animal she worked with leads to more fond recollections. In the early 1970s, at the time of the PATSY Award, Sharon worked for Frank Inn, a top animal trainer. “His place was like a zoo, with a seal, a raccoon, Arnold, foxes, cats, dogs,” she recalled. Arnold? Yes, Arnold Ziffel, the clever and amusing pig of the sitcom “Green Acres.” Sharon began working for Frank in 1968 after graduating from high school in the San Fernando Valley. “That’s all I did was kennel work, the first year,” including taking care of the pigs that played Arnold. Frank and his trainers also supplied animals for two other Southern-themed sitcoms, “Petticoat Junction” and “Beverly Hillbillies.” “Animals were always a hit on the set,” Sharon said, with the actors and crew seeing what animals they brought. Frank had also available for hire cats that appeared in commercials, exceptionally well-trained dogs for star turns in TV and movie roles and other critters of all kinds. Sharon observed the trainers, closely bonded with some animals and began learning how to elicit behaviors. Cat work became one of Sharon’s specialties. There were, she noted, “at least two trainers on a cat job, one to release the cat and one to call the cat.” For cats, raccoons and wilder animals, she used clicker training. When the animal performs an activity on cue — perhaps an activity it has been performing on its own — the animal hears the

Once the animal figures that out, it might perform the action for the camera. The drawback of clicker training is that the animals tend to stare at the trainer, waiting for the cue to perform an action so that it can get a treat. In other words, clicker training can lead to bad animal acting. Perhaps cats and raccoons can be forgiven their less-nuanced acting because of their reserved natures and because most don’t seem to be onscreen as long as dog actors. A raccoon raised and trained by Sharon was Teco, that appeared in a 1970s Chiffon commercial. (The commercial can be found online by doing a search in YouTube for “70s Mother Nature Chiffon Margarine Commercial.”) Sharon trained Teco to cover his eyes with his paws, a brief activity perfect for when Mother Nature proclaims, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” Food was key in training rats as well. For the 1971 movie “Willard,” Sharon helped train the rats to eat treats off Ernest Borgnine, whom she describes as “a good sport.” The animal trainers provided “body rats” that walked or stood on actors and “plank rats” that walked a plank, with their shadows filmed to make them look larger. After working for Frank for seven years, Sharon went out on her own as a freelance trainer. A big break for her was a request by Michael
Landon for a woman dog trainer for the 1977 season of “Little House on the Prairie.” Sharon got the job training frowsy mutt Jack and she became a behind-the-scenes regular for outdoor ranch scenes and interior studio soundstage scenes. Her own dog Cobbler appeared in a guest dog role. Later, the show had Jack pass away — although the actor dog that played Jack was still alive — to be replaced on the show by an impish border collie named Bandit. Bandit “was already trained for animal acts, with food” so Sharon said she worked with Bandit to learn to “act more natural.” In 1980, during a Hollywood lull, Sharon moved to Northern California and fulfilled an aspiration to train guide dogs, working as an apprentice instructor for two years. Then it was back to “picture work,” finding trained dogs that lived in homes and were available for movie work.
Around that time she met her husband, Ron Evans, square dancing. Working in the Bay Area, Sharon eventually crossed paths with Star Wars creator George Lucas. In the mid’80s Lucas was continuing the “Return of the Jedi” storyline of Ewoks with the 1985 TV show “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.” The movie called for a stallion to be ridden by a character named Charal, a glamorous space witch. Sharon looked similar to the actress playing Charal, Siân Phillips. So Sharon was given the task of finding and training a stallion, then later of getting in costume and makeup, riding the stallion rearing on his hind legs and galloping. Difficulties arose. A perfect-looking stallion could perform “liberty rearing” without saddle or rider, but not “rearing under saddle.” A stallion chosen for the role n

J
oin Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion at Ponderosa High School’s spring show, “The Wizard of Oz.” Based on the children’s book written by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy, played by Alyssa Seeley, finds out there really is “no place like home” after she’s swooped away by a tornado to the land of Oz with her faithful companion Toto. While in Oz, Dorothy meets a Cowardly Lion, a Scarecrow and a Tin Man. Together they decide to find the wonderful Wizard of Oz and ask him to gift them what they desire the most. Dorothy misses her home in Kansas and her beloved Auntie Em; Cowardly Lion would love a little courage; Scarecrow decides he could use a brain and
Tin Man desires a heart. During the journey they are faced with a wicked witch who tries to stop
them with antics and flying monkeys. Will Dorothy and her gang make it in time to

meet the Wizard before it’s too late? “I’m very excited to play Dorothy,” Seeley said. “I have been in this show two previous times and have played a poppy and a Winkey.” Taking the lead role is bittersweet for the high school senior, who shared, “I’m very sad to leave the program this year and I’ll miss everyone so much. But I’m excited to begin
this next chapter and continue musical theater in college.” Another senior bidding farewell to the high school stage this year is Lennon Nickels, who plays Scarecrow. Coincidentally, “The Wizard of Oz” was the very first show in which he performed seven years ago, also with Alyssa. “I am so excited to be performing in ‘The
Wizard of Oz,’” Nickels said. “I am so grateful to be playing the Scarecrow. I’ve ended up finding a lot of myself through this role.” Nickels described his character having “a huge character arc,” making the role more challenging. “Since it is my senior year, it is unfortunately my last show for a while,” he added. “Performing has been such a huge part of my life and it is sad that it is coming toward an end. I am so thankful for all the experiences I’ve had.” Ponderosa Stage Productions show “The Wizard of Oz,” directed by drama teacher Renee Fritz, opens March 24. Showtimes are 7 p.m. March 24-26, March 31 and April 1 & 2 with a 2 p.m. matinée on April 2 at the school theater, 3661 Ponderosa Road in Shingle Springs.

mong the tens of thousands of high school students who auditioned across the state, only the most accomplished musicians are selected to perform in the California All-State Honor Band. Two of Oak Ridge High School’s own, Ellie Chen and Jiajin Huang, were among the elite few. “I started playing flute in fourth grade because band was an option as an elective,” recounted Huang, a junior at Oak Ridge who didn’t start lessons until the end of her sixth-grade year. Huang moved to El Dorado Hills in first grade from Taiwan. “I find it funny because the only reason I chose flute was that my friends decided to do flute.” Chen, in her senior year at Oak Ridge, grew up in El Dorado Hills and remembers her mom prompting her to choose an instrument in fourth grade. “I remember thinking that the flute players in Chinese dramas looked really cool,” she said. “So I decided on the flute.” Huang participated in the Wind Symphony ensemble while Chen played in the Concert Band. After rehearsing for 14 hours over three days directed by nationally recognized conductors, the ensembles performed at the annual California All-State Music Education Conference this past February at Fresno’s Saroyan Hall.

Chen’s concert group performed “Smetana Fanfare” by Karel Husa, the first movement from “Three Latin American Dances” (La Moto) by Giovanni Santos, “Aurora Awakes” by John Mackey and “A Mother of A Revolution!” by Omar Thomas. “It was fascinating meeting some of the composers of the pieces we were playing and getting to hear their perspectives on the music they create,” Chen
said. “I got to meet a lot of really amazing people and made new friends.” Chen was also accepted into last year’s all-state honor band, a virtual performance. Several years ago Huang was accepted into the all-state honor band in eighth grade and said she still keeps in touch with friends she made that year. This time around, Huang noticed the pressure with her largest crowd ever and the excellence of her fellow musicians. “It feels like since everybody is at such a high level, you have to hold yourself up to that standard as well,” she shared.

Black Violin blends genres, shares messages of hope News release

Hear Black Violin perform pieces from the duo’s new album in Grass Valley Thursday night.
Know
he members of Black Violin — Wil Baptiste and Kev Marcus — met in Ft. Lauderdale and played together in the orchestra at the Dillard High School of the Performing Arts. Classically trained by day, they faithfully put on their headphones and listened to the hottest rap records each night. Hear the phenomenal result at a Music in the Mountains’ concert at The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley Thursday, March 24. Baptiste and Marcus went to different colleges — Marcus attended Florida International University and Baptiste went to Florida State — but the two reconvened, moved into an apartment together and started trying to produce other musicians. They developed an act covering hip-hop songs on their violins, which became popular in local clubs. Two years after sending a tape to “Showtime at the Apollo,” they were invited to appear on the show — which they won and kept winning. “We had a wall that we wrote stuff on,” said Baptiste, describing the process that led to Black Violin’s new album, “Take the Stairs.” “We had all the ideas about what story we were going to convey. And it kept coming back to the idea of hope — songs that spoke about going against the grain, carrying through struggle, being optimistic. We wanted to say, ‘It’s tough now, but hang in there.’” Much like the ways their instruments interact on stage, Baptiste’s creative collaborator Marcus echoes this theme and then expands it. “Hope is the thread that keeps this thing together; it’s the heartbeat of this album,” he said. “But then a lot of tentacles went different ways. The song ‘Impossible is Possible’ is about challenging people. So it went different directions from just being hopeful; we took it a little further.” The classica crossover concert begins at 8 p.m. at The Center for the Arts, 314 Main St., Grass Valley.

Exhibit highlights women’s roles in the railroad industry Traci Rockefeller Cusack California State Railroad Museum
T
he California State Railroad Museum & Foundation are proud to reintroduce an exhibit, Crossing Lines: Women of the American Railroad, originally ready for its public debut at the start of the pandemic. As part of the reintroduction, the museum and foundation are partnering with female-owned or operated wineries for a celebratory wine tasting and “girlfriend raising” evening event, 6-8 p.m. Friday evening, March 25. During the celebratory event in the museum’s roundhouse, ticket holders will be able to explore the exhibit and museum after hours, sample from tasting stations set up to highlight local women-centric wineries, plus meet and network with amazing women. A selection of small bites catered by chef Jill Zenti will accompany wines donated by Teneral Cellars, d’Art Wines and Truckee River Winery. With a reintroduction timed to coincide with Women’s History Month, the local exhibit was written, designed and curated entirely by women who shared a common goal to tell stories about the lives and roles of women associated with the railroad industry. And, as part of an ongoing effort by the museum to nurture the next generation of museum professionals and scholars, the exhibit was the result of a graduate student internship and master’s thesis of California State University, Sacramento student Nicole Allison.
While women in railroading today are responsible for the same jobs as men, women in the railroad industry’s early days were more likely to be restaurant keepers, telegraph operators, station agents or Harvey Girls ... The exhibit is designed for museum visitors to gain a heightened appreciation for the role of women railroad workers and to experience a sense of empowerment and inspiration based on the considerable contributions women made to the railroad industry and society. Dating back to 1838 when women first started working in the railroad industry, some of the trailblazing women who challenged the system and who are showcased in the new Crossing Lines exhibit include Modesta Avila, Shirley Burman, Jennie Curtis, Olive Wetzel Dennis, Anna Judah, Leah Rosenfeld, Rosina Tucker and the Railroadettes of World War II. Museum visitors will discover the roles of women in railroading have changed over time. While women in railroading today are responsible for the same jobs as men, women in the railroad industry’s early days were more likely to be restaurant keepers, telegraph operators, station agents or Harvey Girls — gracious servers of “good character” that made travel more enjoyable, a popular role created by visionary entrepreneur Fred Harvey.

Crossing Lines: Women of the American Railroad showcases women’s evolving roles in the railroad industry. The California Railroad Museum plans to keep this as a permanent display. Rather than a traditional exhibit set in a contained space, the Crossing Lines exhibit is displayed and incorporated into various locations throughout the museum to allow for greater interpretation about the various impacts of women in the workforce. The important exhibit will remain on display permanently. Tickets to the Crossing Wines evening event are $30 per person (ages 21 and older) and available in advance via Eventbrite. Viewing and experiencing the exhibit during normal museum hours is included with admission.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287165 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction 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 (916)939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287165 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.
