Jana Rossi Staff writer The Nextdoor website can be used for a variety of useful purposes — recommendations on who to call for home repairs, finding a lost dog, posting interesting pictures taken by amateur photographers. At its best, Nextdoor has become a place where the good in people can be brought together to help their community. El Dorado Hills resident and retired attorney William Barry saw Nextdoor as such a place and has used it to connect with other likeminded individuals — those looking to help families who face financial hardship in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea to get involved began to form after his wife’s consulting job shut down in January and the Barrys received an unexpected unemployment check. Not realizing an independent contractor was entitled to this benefit, they decided they would like to help other families who were hit hard during the pandemic and subsequent shutdowns. After posting on Nextdoor their plans, they were immediately inundated with neighbors who wanted to join their efforts. Discussions on where to find families in need led the group to seek out pastors, school principals and counselors — those directly involved with families that would fit the group’s two critical n

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A man suspected of a stabbing Sunday morning in South Lake Tahoe was arrested after he also reportedly smashed the window of a police cruiser and resisted arrest. South Lake Tahoe police officers responded to the 7-Eleven on Pioneer Trail at about 10:20 a.m. and discovered a victim who had been stabbed in the back, states a press release. The man said he was standing at the Redbox out front of the convenience store when another man jumped on his back and stabbed him with a metal drywall saw — a long knife with a serrated blade. The victim said he got the man off his back and the suspect took off running. An officer spotted the suspect on the 1000 block of Moss Road, on the other side of Pioneer Trail. Before the officer

$10.4 million software upgrade dominates discussion at EID Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado Irrigation District will be getting a multimillion dollar software upgrade. The $10.4 million upgrade approved by the EID Board of Directors at its Monday meeting is to the district’s core software that, according to staff had reached “the end of its useful life.” The district currently uses Hansen 7 software — a suite of highly-integrated software products developed specifically for public agencies. Hansen 7 software modules are currently utilized by EID in its metering, utility billing, cashiering and customer
service functions. The software helps EID manage more than 70,000 water and wastewater connections and service billings and collection in excess of $60 million annually. It also helps support the preventive maintenance and corrective work orders performed on more than 250,000 district infrastructure assets across the drinking water, wastewater/ recycled water, hydro/watershed management and fleet divisions. It supports the daily management of new connection requests and developer projects, including additional pipes, valves, lift and pump stations and other new assets added into the district’s service delivery systems. During
the period of 2015-19 new connections managed with the software accounted for more than 4,600 equivalent dwelling units sold and $73 million in facility capacity charges. Staff warned continued use of Hansen 7 software poses several significant risks to the district, risks that could potentially disrupt cash flow, customer service, operational efficiency and/or service reliability. The existing software also lacks key functional features now common to modern software. As a replacement staff recommended upgrading Hansen 7 to Infor Public Sector which is Infor’s successor product to n

About 1,000 get vaccine in Tahoe Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — About 1,000 people were vaccinated over two days at a South Lake Tahoe clinic. The city of South Lake Tahoe, in partnership with El Dorado County and several supporting agencies, held the free drive-thru clinic on Sunday and Monday, March 21-22, at the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Complex. South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue was one of the supporting agencies and reported no traffic or medical issues. “Overall (a) successful event and an honor to do our part,” department officials stated in a social media post. The city closed Rufus Allen Boulevard to through traffic from Pickett Avenue to Lyons Avenue to make room for cars to line up.

Empire Ranch funding. “Two significant events caused a hold on the project,” explained Folsom Engineering Operations Manager Mark Rackovan at a recent virtual public meeting on the project. He cited the closing of Folsom Dam Road and subsequent construction of Folsom Lake Crossing along with the 2008 recession as major causes for delay. The project connects the existing Empire Ranch Road and Iron Point intersection to a future southern extension of Empire Ranch Road connecting to White Rock Road or the future Capital SouthEast Connector just west of the county line. Completion of the extension is anticipated within five years. The interchange will include a four-lane overpass with roundabout ramp connections to both westbound and eastbound Highway 50, forcing drivers to enter at lower speeds without a traffic light, according to Kimley-Horn Vice President Matt Weir. “The entry speed of roundabouts would have the effect of slowing the approaching traffic down to the 25-30 mile-an-hour range,” he said. Six-foot sidewalks with 8-foot shoulders for bicycle and pedestrian access are proposed on each side of the ramp across the bridge, although a separated class one option is being considered. The 6-foot sound wall behind homes between Hayloft Drive and Iron Point Road will be reconstructed to stand at 12 feet. An auxiliary lane will be installed between the interchanges on both sides of Highway 50, allowing vehicles to travel locally between intersections on Highway 50 without entering through lanes of traffic. Auxiliary lanes are ultimately planned to continue along Highway 50 from Latrobe to Hazel interchanges. At an estimated total cost of $60 million, the project will be financed by

Continued from A1 federal funds, developer impact fees, local sales taxes and gas taxes.“Our most optimistic forecast at this time is that we would be ready to break ground in 2025 but a lot of variables will have to break our way to make that happen,” stated Rackovan. Sara Holm of Dokken Engineering affirmed that CEQA and NEPA environmental documents, certified in 2006, have been revised. “As of fall 2020, all environmental technical studies have been approved and all information has been combined into an updated supplemental environmental report and is currently being reviewed by Caltrans,” she said. Holm covered key environmental issues including the alleviation of traffic congestion via auxiliary lanes, visual impacts of the new overpass and aesthetic landscaping and concrete color treatment. Mitigation measures for affected trees, wetlands and bird species are planned. Greenhouse gas emissions will drop,
Holm pointed out. “Vehicle Miles Traveled with this construction would be reduced which leads to reduction of pollution,” she said, adding that rubberized asphalt will lower noise and particulate matter decreases with the project, improving overall air quality. Regarding the need for the project, Weir noted that the existing Empire Ranch Road north of Iron Point Road is a six-lane arterial. “It is a big road that’s designed to carry a lot of traffic,” he said, indicating that traffic studies were analyzed for years 2025, 2036 and 2045. He cited projections for average daily traffic volume in 2036 at 23,000 vehicles while in 2018, ADT was measured at only 5,000-6,000 vehicles. “There is a lot of growth that will come with the interchange being built, but it’s important to recognize that the roadway network that’s in place was designed to accommodate it.” Traffic speeds will be reassessed after project completion to determine the need for adjustments to posted speed limits.
Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
CHEW, CHEW, CHEW, IT’S THE SMART THING TO DO A lot of thought goes into what we eat, whether it concerns improving our health, creating delicious new recipes, or recreating an old favorite. However, we rarely think about how we eat, especially not how we chew. Chewing has a tremendous impact on our oral and intestinal health. Its breaks down our food to make it easier to swallow and digest, and it increases the amount of saliva in our mouths. Saliva helps replace the minerals on our teeth and restore and maintain the mouth’s pH balance. It also helps rinse food particles from our teeth, preventing the buildup of bacteria that causes tooth decay. Slowing down and chewing longer creates more beneficial saliva.
Healthy habits create healthy smiles that can change a life forever. Looking for a full service dental office providing compassionate, knowledgeable care in a welcoming, safe environment?

Economic pain may drive the Newsom recall
W
hile boasting about how California — and he — have handled the COVID-19 pandemic in his State of the State address this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom virtually ignored its severe economic impacts, offering only this tepid DAN WALTERS statement: “California has the most innovation, venture capital and small-business investment in this country. We will keep fostering every small entrepreneur — the drivers of our GDP.” From a purely political standpoint, Newsom’s omission made perfect sense. The speech was obviously aimed at countering a pending recall campaign and one of the recall’s chief drivers is economic pain. To counter COVID-19, Newsom ordered widespread shutdowns of businesses, particularly small service businesses such as restaurants, thus forcing layoffs of employees — as many as 2 million at one point. There’s been some recovery as restrictions were lifted or modified but California’s employment picture remains relatively grim. A few days after Newsom’s speech, the state Employment Development Department underscored that fact in a report about what employment conditions were like in January, to wit: • The state’s unemployment rate was 9%, twice as high as it had been a year earlier. It’s also the nation’s second highest rate behind Hawaii’s 10.2% and nearly 50% higher than the national rate of 6.2%. • Over that year, employment dropped more than 10% from 17.6 million jobs to 15.9 million. • Roughly half of the Californians who lost those 1.7 million jobs are on the unemployment rolls and collecting state and federal unemployment insurance benefits. The others stopped looking for work and left the labor force. • The employment disparities within the state remained immense, with jobless rates ranging from 5.4% in Marin County to 16.5% in Imperial. Los Angeles County, which contains a quarter of the state’s population, had the second highest rate at 12.7%. “As it turns out, the labor market fallout in 2020 was significantly worse in California than originally estimated,” said Taner Osman, research manager at Beacon Economics. “And it hasn’t made the reading any prettier.” California’s very high unemployment rate vis-à-vis those of the nation as a whole and other comparable states will certainly be an issue in the recall campaign. Newsom likely will argue that the business shutdowns were necessary to lower infection rates, but his critics will say that states that imposed fewer restrictions didn’t see markedly higher rates. The Associated Press compared California and its tight restrictions to Florida, which imposed relatively few mandates under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and concluded: “Despite their differing approaches, California and Florida have experienced almost identical outcomes in COVID-19 case rates.” Florida’s unemployment rate in January was 4.8%, ■

Letters to the Editor Advice EDITOR: onnie Chapman had “advice” for Republicans mainly concentrating on voter fraud. Was there voter fraud? I don’t know. But if fraud is not their motive, why do Democrats oppose voter ID, checking signatures and not allowing those that don’t match, etc.? Makes no sense. Now here’s some advice for Democrats. Quit promoting open borders for political gain. Quit promoting lockdowns that are killing the economy in the name of virus safety while promoting hoards of illegal and possibly infected people to cross the southern border. Quit killing projects like the Keystone Pipeline and domestic energy production putting thousands upon thousands out of work that Trump worked so hard to get employed. Quit having people like our wonderful vice president telling the coal miners that she wants to put in the unemployment line to go work on land mines. The Democrats’ energy policy or lack thereof will kill a third of New Mexico’s economy. There are lots of people struggling to put food on the table that wish the cancel culture Democrats would take some of the above advice. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Don’t feed them EDITOR: phesians 6:12 says that we battle not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Mahatma Gandhi recognized this. He advocated peaceful resistance to tyranny because if we use force to overcome evil, we merely substitute a new gang for the old gang. Every battle is a spiritual battle because we each must decide in our hearts what we will do. Evil wants us to do nothing because the only thing good people must do for evil to prevail is nothing. Native Americans realized that we each had two wolves dwelling inside us, an evil wolf and a kind wolf. Which would prevail? The one we fed the most. So, how do we feed the good wolf? By forgiving sin and blessing others. We forgive sin because evil has no legal right to exist if there is no sin. Sin opens the door to demonic influence. Lee Hansen, former leader of the Full Gospel
E
Businessmen in El Dorado County, taught that we were not to oppose evil confrontationally, but that we were to forgive the sins that permitted evil to exist in a specific situation. Hansen viewed evil as demonically caused. Starve the demons. Do not feed them. Reject all negative thoughts within. Scripture says to take every thought captive and present it as acceptable to Christ. Fear not because fear is negative. Instead rejoice. We are so fortunate to live during this present earthly age. We will witness a miraculous societal change as we learn to pray for those who curse us, to bless and not curse, to overcome evil with good. Starve the demons. Don’t feed them. Instead, send waves of love to your enemies. Bless them. Overcome evil with good. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville
McClintock lacks a solution EDITOR: ongressman Tom McClintock voted against the COVID Relief Bill and said he was against it because “Lockdowns are killing us.” I’m not sure how the one equates the other, but let’s look and see if we can connect the dots. Would more access to vaccines help? No, Tom voted against that. Would ‘bridging funds’ to help our small businesses (like in those here in town) help? No, Tom voted against that. Would extending unemployment insurances for those who can’t go back to work because jobs are scarce, and kids can’t go back to school yet? No, Tom voted against that. Would providing funds for schools (since our local school boards are strapped for cash) that way they could meet CDC compliance, protect our teachers and get students back in the classrooms and then parents can go back to work? No, Tom voted against that too. I listened to McClintock’s speech on the House floor and read his response in the major papers. He only talked about what was wrong with lockdowns and not a word about what to do about it. How does he believe we’ll get out of lockdowns and get the community back on track besides being a naysayer? What is Tom’s solution? PAT SNELLING Garden Valley

... or a hobbit, wending your way through the Shire. We encountered a few fellow travelers along the way. On narrow paths, we stood aside to let equestrians or cyclists pass, per trail etiquette. Some fellow hikers brought their dogs, most on leashes. We met our first Labradoodle (or was it a Goldendoodle?) and marveled over the feel of its silky coat. Tired but happy, we arrived back at the parking lot around 1 p.m. and piled into our car, wishing we’d packed a lunch. Since then we’ve returned to Magnolia Ranch once, plus hiked twice at nearby Cronan Ranch and once at Sly Park in Pollock Pines. Our goal, once the weather cooperates, is to go out twice a week. We prefer weekdays but wouldn’t hesitate to go again on a weekend if need be. At Cronan Ranch we loved the wide, open spaces and the distant views of the American River. On one trail we came across a structure built in 2003 as part of a set for the movie “Love Comes Softly” (starring Katherine Heigl and Dale Midkiff ). At Sly Park we hiked past a party of mule riders enjoying their lunch. We snapped a photo of their long-eared
mounts to add to our collection of curiosities seen along the way. We’ve made a game of learning the different native trees we encounter — live oak or blue oak? Gray pine or Ponderosa? We also keep an eye out for wildlife — is that circler high overhead a raven or a redtail? As you’ve guessed, I’ve become a dayhiking zealot. I can’t believe I had to reach my 60s to discover how accessible this delightful form of recreation is — not to mention how beneficial for mind, body and spirit. If you’re also an enthusiast, I’d love to hear about your favorite El Dorado County hikes. If you’ve never been hiking but would like to try, here are a few pointers. • Study up. Mary West’s Day Hiker series is available online at mtdemocrat. com by searching her name or clicking on her byline. We also bought her excellent book, “Day Hiker: Gold Country Trail Guide.” • Plan wisely. Discern the length, elevation and difficulty of a trail in advance to be sure it’s right for you. Check the weather. And don’t overdo it, especially your first time out.

scarcely half of California’s. While recent polls show declines in Newsom’s popularity, he still is widely favored to beat the recall if, as expected, it qualifies for the ballot. However, his fate will hinge on Californians’ mood when the recall election occurs and that mood, in turn, may hinge on whether the state’s economy has improved markedly. UCLA’s Anderson Forecast sees a strong recovery, saying, “A waning pandemic combined with fiscal relief means a strong year of growth in 2021 — one of the strongest years of growth in the last 60 years — followed by sustained higher growth rates in 2022 and

2023.” Newsom’s own economic staff is more cautious. H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for Newsom’s Department of Finance, said, “It is going to take us at least two years, if not longer, for us to get back to pre-pandemic employment levels.” For his own sake, Newsom had better hope that Anderson’s forecast more closely matches the ensuing reality. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Union Mine junior quarterback Calvin Owens, pictured keeping his calm in the pocket during the March 12 match with Truckee, tossed a touchdown and scampered for another in the Diamondbacks’ 22-21 victory over Liberty Ranch Friday night.
Local teams victorious Thomas Frey Staff writer In week two of six in a football season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic varsity teams from Union Mine, El Dorado, Oak Ridge and Ponderosa high schools came away with wins over the weekend. Union Mine 22, Liberty Ranch 21 Union Mine (1-1) trailed Liberty Ranch 21-9 at the half before Calvin Owens took over. The junior quarterback tossed a touchdown to junior Mason Matlack and rushed for another in a come-from-behind victory on the road. Owens finished with 118 passing yards and 127 rushing yards. Junior Evan Beck not only added a rushing touchdown but also had 12 tackles. Senior Daniel Groves had eight tackles and an interception. Union Mine hosts Bradshaw Christian Saturday at 5 p.m. El Dorado 3, Laguna Creek 0 El Dorado (1-0) won its opening game 3-0 against Laguna Creek Saturday. El Dorado has had a rocky start to the season. The Cougars first game was canceled after Galt couldn’t play due to COVID-19 protocols. El Dorado’s next game scheduled for March 19 at Rosemont was also canceled due to the same protocols. At the last moment the Cougars were able to schedule a home game with Laguna Creek.

Input sought in county fire’s strategic planning El Dorado County Fire Protection District News release CAMINO — The El Dorado County Fire Protection District is seeking community stakeholders to participate in a five-year strategic planning process. Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the district, share their perceptions of its strengths and weaknesses and to discuss critical issues affecting, or likely to affect, the district in the future. This process is crucial in development of a plan that will ensure the fire district meets the needs of the community in an effective and efficient manner. Included in the process will be a review of the current five-year strategic plan, identification of ongoing needs and achievable goals
Upgrade
and creating a vision of the district’s future. The district will initiate virtual strategic planning sessions March 25 at 1 p.m. A critical component to the strategic planning process is recognizing the ongoing fiscal challenges faced by the fire district and local government in general. To maintain sustainable fire-based services within local communities, diligent financial planning is imperative. Public input is encouraged as the district goes through this planning process. An agenda with virtual access links for the meeting is posted on the district website at eldoradocountyfire. com. To comply with state COVID19 guidelines participants are encouraged to attend virtually. For further information contact the district administration at (530) 6449630.

Hansen 7. The upgrade is expected to take three years to complete. During the discussion board President Pat Dwyer expressed concern that initially the cost of the software integration and implementation services was expected to be $4 million rather than $6 million. Tim Ranstrom, EID’s information technology director, explained the change in cost was the result, in large part, of a failure to account for the additional time needed to migrate all the data in the system to the new system. The board then unanimously approved a $6,044,550 contract with Quantum Resolve for software integration and implementation services as well as a $343,007 contract with Infor Public Sector, Inc. for software licenses and support. The board also approved a $765,000 contract amendment with Westin Technology Solutions for consulting services and authorized additional funding of $3,240,000 for capitalized labor and contingency for a total funding request of $10,392,557. The board also approved an extension of a software maintenance agreement with Infor Public Sector, Inc. through Sept. 30, 2026 for $745,000.
Online billing In another upgrade to the district, but one that won’t cost EID anything, staff described online bill pay enhancements. At present 63% of EID customers pay online with the percentage growing annually. With these new enhancements customers will be able to: • Pay bills without creating or logging into an online profile • Choose language
preferences in English or Spanish • Creates an online profile multiple accounts can be linked to • Save multiple credit/debit card numbers using My Wallet for easy access when paying bills • Control email reminder notifications The online billing enhancements went into effect Monday evening.
Water action in the legislature The board also heard a presentation by EID’s state legislative advocate Bob Reeb of Reeb Government Relations. Reeb noted that the Senate and Assembly combined introduced 2,400 new bills plus 127 resolutions and constitutional amendments in the current legislative session. Of those, 25 could affect the district. The bills cover a wide range of subject matter, including planned power outages, bond funding, wildfire prevention, local government meetings, water quality, urban water use objectives and other relevant subjects. Assembly Bill 1434 would establish, beginning Jan. 1, 2023, through Jan. 1, 2025, the standard for indoor residential water use as 48 gallons per capita daily. Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, the standard would be 44 gallons per capita daily and beginning Jan. 1, 2030, 40 gallons per capita daily, which EID agreed would put pressure on water rates. Senate Bill 222, the Water Affordability Assistance Program, would help provide water affordability assistance for both drinking water and wastewater services to low-income ratepayers and ratepayers experiencing economic

hardship in the state. The cost of the program is estimated at $600 million with no source of funding identified. The board suggested further discussion of SB 222 at a later date.
GM’s report General Manager Jim Abercrombie gave a report on the water agency’s 2020 accomplishments, including financial performance, customer satisfaction ratings and progress in meeting its 2020-25 goals. Abercrombie said there were warning signs in the area of service reliability leading to the need to continue replacing aging assets in order to maintain utility infrastructure reliability. Abercrombie pointed out that generally customer service ratings are high (90-96%) except in the area of satisfaction with water and wastewater rates. Completed or planned capital improvement projects include completion of the Forebay Dam project, continuing work on the Folsom Lake intake project, piping the Main Ditch and work on the Sly Park intertie. Abercrombie also recognized staff for their life-saving efforts on the afternoon of March 9 when a resident’s boat capsized on Jenkinson Lake. Staff called 911 and then launched a ranger boat to rescue the man. He was taken to the hospital because he was suffering from hypothermia. Abercrombie thanked staff members Jaramia Bond, Thomas Canitia, Carl Certiberi, Greg Hawkins, Christine Thompson and Susan Thompson for helping to save the man’s life. The rescued man also returned to Sly Park to thank the staff personally.

requirements in order to receive help: the need must be temporary and the cause for the hardship has to be COVID related. The goal of the group is to bring debt relief to a family for approximately two months, helping them get back on their feet, according to Barry. Thus far, single moms unable to work while schools were shut down have benefited the most from the charitable group’s actions, which also include beneficiaries receiving temporary maintenance assistance and finding gainful employment. Today about 80 donors are involved with offering everything from direct financial relief to assisting with food, clothing and job resources. After

starting with eight families, the group currently has three open cases, which means the other five were able to move on with the assistance. This is not Barry’s only altruistic endeavor. A few days a week he utilizes his passion for cooking to help out at the Upper Room Dining Hall in Placerville. How does his benevolent ventures compare to his previous career as an attorney? “I use to get paid to help large corporations get out of having to pay people money and now I am helping people get money for free,” he said. “It’s 1,000 times more rewarding.” If you would like to become a donor email nobogeys1870@yahoo. com.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Orphans and strays will be attracted to you because wherever you go, whatever you do, you carry with you a strong sense of grounding. Being around you feels like home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Clicking around the internet, it’s easy to find 10 people doing the same thing as you. However, you don’t let that in any way discourage you. You can be sure that no one will bring it together in quite the manner as you will. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will take people to new places, either physically or figuratively, just by being the bold version of yourself who is curious, playful and magnetically drawn to novel territory. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Comfort actually undermines your work because you need people to be alert and on their toes, curious about what you’ll do next. Challenge people’s comfort to energize the scene. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Investigate before you try to fix a thing. Has it ever been fixed? Is a solution within the realm of possibility given the time frame? If it doesn’t have a solution, then it’s not a problem, just a state of things to accept and get used to. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You take pride in your ability to protect and reassure others, providing them with a sense of security that’s a rare and precious gift in this big, wild world. Whether they know and appreciate this is a story for another time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to know how everything works individually, and then how it works together, and how it works in perpetuity. But first, take the quick, concrete action to get it working, period. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make exceptional findings but it is not currently necessary to tell anyone or even to marvel at the specialness. These are early stages, and this part of the unfolding is meant just for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve overcome obstacles, so give yourself credit for that. Going forward is easier when you remember who you are, recognize what you’ve done and believe in your ability to repeat success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You really don’t have to be certain of your outcome to be confident. The confidence doesn’t come from knowing you’ll succeed; it comes from knowing you’ll prevail either way and, likely, eventually, figure it out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know when to strategically give your message in a whisper because people making an effort to lean in are more receptive listeners than people blown back by intensity and volume. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you’re doing is for a very specific and small audience -- maybe that audience is just you for now -- and that’s how you know it matters. Because if it raises you up, then it does the whole world a favor.

ocal Realtor Danielle Dutton calls her hobby “a dying art.” Growing up in the Bay Area, Dutton was enchanted by the beautiful stained-glass windows that adorn the community’s old churches and Victorian style homes. Six years ago she decided to delve deeper into her attraction for ornamental stained glass and looked to artist Philip Teefy, owner of the Rainbow Glass shop. Teefy has been in the stained-glass business for more than 45 years and is regularly called upon for help with restoring antique glasses and vintage church windows. His artwork can be purchased at his store in Sacramento. Teefy said he was happy to help a newcomer into the business and educated Dutton on the art behind real stained glass work. “We love newcomers,” Teefy told the Mountain Democrat. “Otherwise the whole thing would die out.” To be considered true stained-glass work, colored glass panels are used, not painted ones that many people mistake for stained glass. Lead-came is the material placed between each panel and for smaller, lighter projects, such as sun catchers, copper foil is used. Dutton took in every ounce of information Teefy offered and said she began tackling her projects on an old, foldout table in her backyard. Recently, Dutton created

Danielle Dutton works on a stained-glass flower in her workshop. Last year she created several pieces for her new studio built by her husband. stained-glass windows for her very own workshop her husband built. “Only one more to go,” she said when the Democrat checked in. She finished the piece — a beautiful butterfly — shortly after. So far Dutton has kept her lovely stained-glass work as a hobby, gifting her pieces to family, friends and clients, explaining, “Each piece comes from love.” True stained-glass art uses colored glass panels, not glass that has been painted.

t age 26, Nick Rogness, local youth leader, published his first novel, “The Last American,” in 2020, the author saying it is a novel for a divided America. Rogness described his story to the Mountain Democrat as a “threepart cautionary tale with a silver lining.” The novel is categorized as both dystopian fiction and political fiction. It also has elements of time travel and science fiction. Dystopian fiction imagines a society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives. “What happens if we don’t figure out how to get along with each other, how to glue together the cracks in our fractured country?” He asked. Rogness said he believes that to change the future, first you have to imagine it. In “The Last American,” Josik, a citizen of a totalitarian regime in a distant future, travels on a journey to planet Earth that will transform him and challenge him to find an answer. The lead-up to Rogness’ fictional exploration for a remedy to America’s political ills began in childhood. He was raised in El Dorado Hills, the second child in a family of eight. His parents resolved on a Catholic homeschool program that would teach their children academically and spiritually. His mother wanted to provide a quality education that
Roberta Long Democrat correspondent would prepare them for college and success in life, he explained. His father led discussions of current events and other issues at the dinner table, often playing devil’s advocate. These regular discourses stoked Rogness’ early interest in politics. The Rogness kids created their own republic when Nick was 9 or 10 years old. Originally named Kidtopia, it became the country of Rogness, he shared. Nick wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. His older sister was elected president. His father was the judicial branch, with veto power similar to the U.S. Supreme Court. Rogness also became involved in scouting when he was 7, first as a Cub Scout, then Boy Scout and at 16 he became an Eagle Scout. While a teenager, he volunteered to be a camp counselor. From then on, he worked for Boy Scouts of America while he continued his education. Rogness graduated from University of California, Davis, in 2016 with a double major in economics and political science: public service. The following year he was hired full time as district executive for Boy Scouts of America, running

El Dorado Hills resident Nick Rogness’ novel explores the “what-ifs” in a dystopian society. youth programs with volunteers in El Dorado and Amador counties and the city of Folsom. He became senior district executive in March 2020. Rogness shared he had two experiences in 2016 that drove him to write his novel. His final months at UC Davis coincided with the 2016 presidential election primary. He became frustrated with the political environment on campus, the politically correct language and the unquestioning enthusiasm for candidate Bernie Sanders by a great number of students and faculty. He wanted — actually expected — some discussion, some critique, of voters’ choices. But it didn’t happen and he said he felt alienated. That summer Rogness visited several major cities in Europe. He was standing in
the Roman Forum — a plaza surrounded by the ruins of ancient government buildings, temples and monuments at the center of the city of Rome — when he said he had a transformative experience. Staring at the remains of a once great civilization, he began to imagine the life of a young man in Rome nearly two millennia ago when it was a prominent city. His novel draws on his life experiences and education and he dedicated the story “To my dad Robin, who showed me how to be a proud and happy American.” The book is independently published under Publius Publishing. It is available in print and as an e-book at online and retail bookstores. To contact Rogness, email author@ thelastamerican.us, or call (916) 500-9555.

Shoe drive to to raise money for band, choir News release Oak Ridge High School Music Boosters (oakridgemusic.org) hosts a drive-thru shoe drive fundraiser Saturday, March 27, and Saturday, April 3. Both events run from noon to 4 p.m. and will raise funds for the music programs at ORHS. ORHS Music Boosters will earn funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes collected, as Funds2Orgs will issue a check for the collected shoes. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes (all sizes and types, excluding shoes with holes, tears or worn-through soles) at the west parking lot near the pickleball courts at the high school, 1120 Harvard Way in El Dorado Hills. No need to even
get out of the car; volunteers will be masked and take the shoes from the car trunk. All donated shoes will be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise (small business) partners. Funds2Orgs works with micro-entrepreneurs in helping them create, maintain and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are limited. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school. For more information visit Funds2Orgs.com. “We are excited about our shoe drive,” said Kendra Thompson, ORHS Music Boosters fundraising chairperson. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they
would like to donate to us. By doing so, we raise money for our local high school band and choir programs and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It’s a win-win for everyone.” By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to the ORHS Music Boosters, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives around the world.
About ORHS Music Boosters The ORHS Music Boosters is a volunteer, nonprofit organization that provides organizational and financial support to the Oak Ridge High School Music Department and supports the program priorities as established by the music department directors.

dula angustifolia) has an instantly recognizable floral aroma. The lemony flavor combines well with baked goods and teas. Be sure to remove the bitter green or brown bits of the stem. • Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is often referred to as poor man’s saffron, since its coloring potential resembles that of saffron. It adds a subtle, tangy flavor and a delicate yellow hue to rice and grains. Fresh petals are good in salads and soups. • Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) has a distinctly peppery tang that goes nicely in salads. • Pansy (Viola wittrockiana), with its color and velvety texture, can add visual charm to a dish. These qualities and its slightly sweet, lettuce-like flavor make pansies great as a garnish in salads or cocktails or for candying. • Rose (Rosa spp*) petals range in flavor from sweet to bitter, depending on their color. Red petals have a mineral flavor, while lighter colors are more delicate in taste. Roses are good in jams, syrups and teas. Increasingly, people look at the eating of flowers in a totally different light today from in the past, realizing that flowers can be admired not only for their beauty and their scent, but for their taste as well. The range of flavors, textures, shapes and colors of edible flowers can add a special something to recipes both savory and sweet. Have fun experimenting and bon appetit! (For

magine the first hint of spring: The winter air has lost its bite and you may catch the call of a returning red-winged blackbird or glimpse a pansy, its delicate petals unfurling like banners to welcome the change in the seasons. It inspires a buoyant, hopeful feeling — one enhanced by the knowledge that gardens soon will be growing and flowers will be abundant, including edible ones. The eating of flowers is not new. Humans have consumed them since the Stone Age, for both medicinal and culinary purposes. Flower buds and petals have been used by many cultures in teas, soups, salads, stir-fry and liqueurs. Today flowers are used in savory foods and baked goods, ground into sugar for flavoring, made into syrups, preserved in jams, jellies and honey and crystallized and used as decoration. Lilacs, roses, violets, squash blossoms and many others can be part of the decorative, edible larder. Edible flowers come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes and are found among annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs. The flowers of herb plants are edible and can be used as garnishes; many have the same flavors as their leaves. To learn more visit content.ces. ncsu.edu/choosingand-using-edibleflowers-ag-790. Not all flowers are edible, of course. Never eat any flower that you do not know for a fact to be non-toxic. When identifying flowers as edible, be sure the reference contains a photo or a good description, which should include which portions of the plant are edible as well as the scientific name (genus and species). Common names can be misleading; for example, the violet (Viola odorata) and the African violet (Saintpaulia spp*) are both called “violet,” but the first one is edible and the other not. And, of course, as when trying any new food be alert to any signs of allergies. Only eat flowers that have been grown without the use of pesticides. Before using, wash and remove the interior parts, such as the stamens, which contain pollen, and the pistils. These may cause allergic reactions and distract from the flavor. The following are a few flower varieties that are easy to find and use: • Lavender (Laven-

Make your pandemic pup a fantastic family member Best Friends Animal Society News release
T
hey’re fluffy, floppy and adorable. Their tiny toes are tender, pink and perfect. Even their breath smells magical. Seriously, what’s not to love about puppies? As irresistible as they are, puppies do grow up quickly and they need our help growing into equally lovable adult dogs. Since March 23 was National Puppy Day, what better time to talk about the importance of training and socializing all those pandemic pups? We know that more than a million pets have been adopted from shelters and rescue groups in the year since the start of the pandemic. Additionally, an untold number of puppies have been purchased since last March, which could spell trouble for first-time pup parents. According to the American Pet Products Association’s COVID-19 pulse surveys, as of the end of 2020 10% of respondents indicated they had gotten a new pet as a result of the pandemic, representing more than 12 million households. While the data is not separated by species, even after subtracting the adult dogs, cats and kittens, there is inevitably a huge number of new puppies in homes in the last year. Many shelter pets tend to be past the puppy stage and generally come with some support from the shelter, informally in the form of advice or formally by way of obedience classes. Puppies purchased from pet stores or online retailers, and even some breeders, are often only weeks old, most barely weaned and usually do not come with any follow up support, leaving pet parents on their own in terms of training. So now that months have passed, those sweet little fuzzy fellows are turning into dog-sized critters with adolescent behaviors. Dogs need training and socialization to learn how to be healthy and happy members of the family and that responsibility falls on owners. Without an investment in training, dogs can grow up to be wild, unruly pets with no manners and families often feel exasperated by them at this stage because training a full-grown puppy who jumps on everyone, scratches and is mouthy may feel like too much trouble. To help keep dogs who were once small and adorable, but are now larger and less manageable out of shelters, new pet owners should take advantage of this time to find creative ways to ensure their pups get the training and socialization they need, even amid the pandemic. Dog training may look different during COVID, but there are still

Puppies are adorable ... but they are also work. Putting in the effort to train your pup will pay off in the long run. plenty of options out there. Puppy parents can register their pets in private or socially-distanced group obedience classes, or find trainers offering courses on Zoom. Best Friends Animal Society has a variety of dog training videos online, from clicker and crate training to puppy socialization, basic obedience and working through leash-reactivity. Getting dogs and puppies out to socialize — to facilitate exposure to other dogs and to safely meet new people — can be accomplished with a long leash on walks or at dog parks. Marissa Sunny, CPDT-KA and senior dog lifesaving specialist at Best Friends Animal Society offers some advice to new pup parents: “Whether you purchased a puppy from a breeder or adopted a puppy from your local shelter or rescue group it is incredibly important to start training right away. While some behaviors may seem cute when the puppy is small, like jumping up to greet you or mouthing on your fingers, these behaviors can quickly become unmanageable in an adult dog. Dogs are extremely smart — smarter than we give them credit for most of the time — because of this they will likely train you faster than you can train them, so it’s best to get started right away.” As Sunny pointed out, dogs have no internal moral compass; they actually don’t know when they did something wrong unless you teach them otherwise. “Dogs view things in two categories — safe or dangerous, not good or bad,” she explained. “When

your puppy becomes a teenager and then an adult, they will continue the same ‘cute’ behaviors they started in puppyhood, but it is very different when it is an 80-pound dog jumping on your elderly mother or mouthing your kids’ fingers.” Sunny offered an example what happens when a dog grows up without training by way of a dog named Treat, who recently came to the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Los Angeles. “Treat is an absolute sweetheart, but he had no idea how big he was,” she said. “He would incessantly jump up on staff members and volunteers as well as hard mouth on anyone or anything that gave him a chance. We don’t know exactly how or why he ended up at the city shelter, but I suspect this behavior had something to do with it.
“He was a young adult shepherd mix with a lot of energy to burn and nowhere productive to channel it,” Sunny continued. “After working on relaxation protocol, basic training and letting him work off his energy in the yard and playing with other dogs he found his forever family with a young family and another juvenile shepherd as a brother.” Most people are still home more than usual and it’s important to spend time working with pets now, while also preparing them for more alone time as people eventually go back to work, school and traveling. An investment now in training and socialization will pay off in the form of improved communication and expectations between pets and people and a better-behaved, well-mannered pet who is a happier, healthier member of the family.
Give back by donating on Red Cross Giving Day News release SACRAMENTO — One year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, people have stepped up to address the emotional needs of families reeling from the coronavirus and 2020’s recordbreaking disasters. Throughout our region and across the country, trained American Red Cross disaster mental health and spiritual care volunteers have had more than 53,000 conversations to provide emotional support to people in 2020 — which had the greatest number of billiondollar disasters in a single year. In addition, trained volunteers have provided free crisis counseling through the Red Cross Virtual Family Assistance Center for grieving families during COVID-19. “The past year has been overwhelming for many in our community, and yet through it all,
people are caring for one another,” said Regional Chief Executive Gary Strong. “When help can’t wait, they provide families with the support they need during emergencies. During Red Cross Month in March, we honor this humanitarian spirit and ask you to join us by donating, giving blood, volunteering or taking a class to learn lifesaving skills.” For nearly 80 years, U.S. presidents have proclaimed March as Red Cross Month to recognize people giving back through its lifesaving mission — which is powered by more than 90% volunteers. A 2020 study on a rise in volunteer experiences added to LinkedIn profiles shows that more people want to help others during this unprecedented time. Last year, more than 70,000 people across the country became new Red Cross volunteers largely to support urgent disaster and

decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: April 21, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
