Jury’s verdict: Popejoy not guilty Eric Jaramishian Staff writer
Mountain Democrat photo by Eric Jaramishian
Bradley Popejoy testifies in El Dorado County Superior Court March 23.
Petition pleads for FEMA individual assistance Thomas Frey Staff writer More than 700 people have signed a petition that will be sent to President Joe Biden, pleading him to grant Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance money to the people of Grizzly Flat who lost their homes in the Caldor Fire last year. On social media El Dorado County officials shared a link to its iPetitions online campaign Monday, asking residents to join the effort. “Nearly 40% of these families did not have homeowners insurance or were underinsured for a catastrophic event like the Caldor Fire due to the exorbitant cost of fire insurance in our region,” reads the petition, which can be found at tinyurl.com/ yc4p8rca. The Caldor Fire PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
forced more than 50,000 people to evacuate their homes and destroyed more than 1,000 structures, most of which were homes. Many families with children and senior citizens are now homeless, notes the petition. “I know first hand how desperate the neighbors in Grizzly Flat are,” states El Dorado County Supervisor Wendy Thomas in a comment on the iPetition webpage. “The entire community was destroyed … They have nothing to rebuild their lives and we need you to overturn FEMA’s decision and provide individual assistance.” On Sept. 2 Biden authorized FEMA funds to California to supplement response efforts due to the emergency conditions. Less than two weeks later Biden visited the area and met with El Dorado County Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton, where he told him people affected by the fire would receive FEMA individual assistance, according to the petition. But in October El Dorado County officials found out they were denied that individual assistance. The denial letter sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom explained that while damage to infrastructure was “significant,” FEMA n

“I had real fear for my family”
A jury returned a not guilty verdict Thursday in a trial of a man accused of brandishing a firearm “in an angry or threatening manner” at three teenage girls who made obscene gestures as they drove by his Placerville home. Prosecutors with the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office claimed Bradley Popejoy’s action was out of anger and not self-defense. The defense argued the three 17-year-olds were harassing the Popejoys in front of their home Aug. 29, 2020. In courtroom testimony Tuesday, Annette Popejoy said her family moved out of their Placerville home of 18 years following the incident. Both Annette and Bradley testified this week with Annette telling the jury why they had to move from their Mosquito Road address. “After that incident happened I didn’t feel safe any longer,” Annette said. “It just started affecting me more and more.”
— Bradley Popejoy, Placerville resident Annette revealed to court she was talking to her brother on the phone outside of her house that evening while the Popejoys’ three children were playing inside. She recalled taking notice of a silver Audi with Black Lives Matter signs on the back passing by their home multiple times before middle fingers were exchanged between one of the three teenagers in the car and herself. Annette said it is not in her character to be rude to anyone like that. “It was just so in my face I didn’t know how to react,” Annette said. In trial proceedings last week, Abegale Jones, who was driving the car, testified that one of her passengers was first to flip off Annette in reaction to Trump flags hanging on the Popejoys’ fence. Jones said she originally thought Annette initiated the exchange. n

Man gets life sentence for rape, domestic violence SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A South Lake Tahoe man was recently given a life sentence for several violent charges, including rape and domestic violence. Edgar Bringas-Zavala, who was 45 at the time of his arrest in June 2020, was sentenced to 50 years to life Feb. 18 by Judge Suzanne Kingsbury in a South Lake Tahoe courtroom. Bringas-Zavala was convicted of his crimes by a jury Jan. 19. At sentencing one of Bringas-Zavala’s victims provided a powerful and emotional impact statement and several of his domestic violence victims were also present, according to a news release from the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. Bringas-Zavalas had been released from his 10-year prison sentence less than a year before raping a victim. Kingsbury said

she had never seen a victim so frightened during testimony that she literally shook the judge’s bench, states the DA’s news release. “Although no time can ever make up for the life-long trauma that Bringas-Zavala has inflicted on his victims, the people are hopeful that they will sleep a little easier knowing that Bringas-Zavala is in prison, where he belongs,” notes the news release. The case was prosecuted by deputy district attorney Kassie Cardullo and investigated by the South Lake Tahoe Police Department and DA’s Office.

Busy burning

U.S. Forest Service personnel completed 25 acres of pile burning in the Pacific Ranger District of the Eldorado National Forest last week in an effort to reduce fire fuels. The burning took place along Peavine Ridge in an area scorched by the 2014 King Fire with work continuing this week, weather permitting.
$1 million in grants to fund Tahoe projects News release SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The California Tahoe Conservancy on March 17 announced $1,005,800 in grants to local government agencies. The grants will support projects to expand public access to Lake Tahoe, improve water quality and increase resilience to climate change. “We’re excited to support these projects, which will improve water quality, restore natural places in our communities and make it easier for everyone to access and enjoy Lake Tahoe,” said California Tahoe Conservancy Board Chair and El Dorado County Supervisor Sue Novasel. As approved by the California Tahoe Conservancy Board of Directors, the grants include: • $550,000 to the city of South
Lake Tahoe to implement the Tahoe Valley Greenbelt and Stormwater Improvement Project. The city will improve and expand shared-use trails between a commercial area and adjacent neighborhoods. The city will also remove fill, restore wetlands and build basins and other structures to reduce pollution from storm water runoff. Using California Tahoe Conservancy and other publicly owned lands, the project will make the South Tahoe “Y” area more walkable and bikeable and will improve water quality draining into the Upper Truckee River and Lake Tahoe. • $300,000 to Placer County for public outreach, preliminary design and environmental review for the Flick Point II Water Quality and n

California Matters
California Democratic leaders take heat from two directions
A
major factor in California’s startling evolution from a state with two evenly matched political parties to one utterly dominated by Democrats has been a backscratching partnership with labor unions. Democratic politicians Dan Walters have delivered on the unions’ bread-andbutter priorities, from pension benefits to legislation making it easier to make public and private employees union members. In return, unions have become the largest source of campaign funds and other resources that help California Democrats win offices from the governorship to local city council members. There are other factors in the state’s political transition over the last quarter-century, including demographic trends and self-destructive moves by Republicans, but the Democrats’ partnership with unions looms large. That said, when any political party becomes dominant in California’s dominant a city, a county or a state, it also tends to Democratic Party fragment into factions is taking heat from defined by ideology, both progressives ethnicity, personality or even geography. In and more the absence of twoconservative unions. party competition, these intra-party factions vie with one another for internal influence. The Democrats’ internal conflicts were on display during the recent state party convention, most obviously the unhappiness among left-wing activists with their inability to win support for their highest priorities, such as single-payer health care and a shutdown of the state’s petroleum industry. “The party uses every advantage it has under the bylaws to ensure there is no democracy in the Democratic Party,” Amar Shergill, the progressive caucus chairperson, told CalMatters’ Alexei Koseff. The convention also revealed some friction between party leaders and the labor unions that have for so long been central to the party’s political success. Andrew Meredith, president of the State Building and Construction Trades Council, accused the party of forgetting its “blue-collar roots” by embracing environmental and regulatory policies that could adversely affect employment. “We must refrain from being the mouthpiece for unrealistic policy goals that hurt the working class

Letters to the Editor BLM violence can’t be ignored EDITOR: n response to Sylvia Medley, whose letter, “Blatant Ignorance,” continues to receive response, I would say, in Sylvia’s case, blatant ignorance is in the eye of the beholder. I want to make it clear that most people, including myself, did not approve of what occurred Jan. 6, 2021. When you look at the number on the Capitol grounds that day, it was a small percentage who actually entered the Capitol. Regardless, all should have remained outside. One can ascertain from Ms. Medley’s letter that setting fire to businesses, post offices, police stations and even a homeless person, etc., are not acts of violence. Remember the CNN reporter standing on a street in Minneapolis, with fires raging behind him, who described the whole ordeal as “mostly peaceful protests?” Space does not allow me to list all the verified reports of what I and others define as violence nor the heartbreak I felt for so many innocent Black, Asian and white American business owners and individuals violated, injured and who experienced great losses during those protests/riots. Think of 30-year-old Oscar Steward, a regular at a Minneapolis pawn shop. The shop was burning when bystanders noticed someone inside unable to get out. Months later they found his remains. Terriel Lee was found guilty, but only charged with setting the fire, not Stewart’s death. They were both Black men. I watched on TV a Black elderly woman standing in what was once her drug store. She cried because she didn’t know how she was going to get her prescriptions. The same night, a Black firefighter and his wife, who had saved for years, lost their dream business, which was about a month away from opening. Protesters first destroyed all the work they had done inside and then set the building on fire. The worst damage occurred in at least a dozen cities at a cost of $2 billion nationwide. Also, 400 law enforcement officers were injured and a retired police officer and a federal protection officer were shot. In the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area, 500 businesses had been vandalized, looted or their windows and doors smashed. At least 67 businesses were completely destroyed, according to the Star Tribune. The U.S. Post Office, Wells Fargo Bank and police station were set on fire. There was $315
I
million in property damage in Minneapolis. How many people relied on these businesses for their jobs and the goods/services they provided? Others were also killed — two men shot and killed by looters in Cicero, Ill., and Calvin Horton, 43, shot and killed outside a pawn shop in Minneapolis. Do you know who is really angry at BLM? All those Black business people and individuals whose cities were destroyed; they have not received one dime from BLM for their losses. Read the headlines: “BLM’s Millions Unaccounted For After Leaders Quietly Jumped Ship,” Jan. 27, 2022. Even California is holding BLM accountable for missing financial records.

Hypocrisy or common sense? EDITOR: cott Taylor hammers many conservative Republicans as hypocrites for opposing the infrastructure bill and then wanting the benefits it provides. Conservatives know that we are in a downward spiral. Interest on the everaccumulating debt will one day overwhelm even the defense budget. At some point a monetary collapse will ensue, which may not be a big deal in places like Venezuela, but the last time such a collapse happened in an industrialized country it spawned Napoleon and Hitler. So now back to what Scott Taylor calls hypocrisy and I call common sense. Is the bill another nail in the economic coffin of today’s grandchildren? Sure it is. But since it’s been passed you might as well use the money for the most infrastructure you can get. It’s sort of like causing a death. Is that good? No. But once it’s done you might as well harvest the organs and do what good you can. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

People need energy when it’s cloudy, too. They also need it when the wind doesn’t blow. “When the sun goes down ... offshore winds get cranked up,” said Neumann. No, they don’t! “The wind doesn’t always come up when the sun goes down,” I pointed out. “Renewables are clearly better,” Neumann replied. She said we’ll solve renewable energy’s inconsistency by doing things like storing energy in batteries. Well, yes, a battery that holds energy for weeks would make renewables work. But it doesn’t exist. “This is just a total fantasy, which is why nobody has done it anywhere, ever,” said Alex Epstein, author of “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.” Fossil fuels are moral, Epstein correctly pointed out, because human flourishing depends on them. Abundant fossil fuels are especially important for poor people. “Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator. Are we going to allow them to have a modern life? Because that’s going to depend on fossil fuels.”
Even if climate change becomes a serious problem, fossil fuels reduce its harm by making us prosperous enough to afford protection against the climate. “We have a 98% decline in climaterelated disaster deaths over the last 100 years,” Epstein pointed out. A 98% drop in deaths — this is the amazing untold story of fossil fuels and their benefits. Because oil and natural gas so efficiently provide power, heat homes when it’s freezing, pump water during droughts, etc., millions thrive, despite problems like climate change. Thanks to fossil fuels, “We have this amazing productive ability,” said Epstein. “That’s the only reason we experience the planet as livable.” Global warming is a threat. Limiting fossil fuels now, without a capable alternative, will make it even harder to deal with the effects. Unless someone invents a miracle battery or something else that makes sun and wind power practical, we need fossil fuels, desperately.

It was a close competition in the Youth Angler League Future Pro Tour championship March 6 between the best youth in Northern California fishing Lake Berryessa for not only a cash prize but also a brand new Tracker Classic XL boat. Anglers got their boats in the water and their bait ready to drop as the eight-hour competition kicked off early in the morning. The fishermen had to battle not only the fish, but consistently changing weather conditions. “It was a pretty rough day out there because there was a lot of weather changes that week,” said 14-year-old Cayden Cross of Cool, who won the event. Cross had caught one fish through the first five hours of competition before his day changed in a flash. “I was in midconversation with my dad and started working the bait back to the boat and then it just started pulling the hook,” Cross said. The bass weighed in at 3.99 pounds and it was his heaviest catch of the day. “It felt pretty good knowing that I had a really good possibility of winning after that n

Saturday’s rain readied the Caldor Fire burn scar to be planted with hundreds of seedlings in a volunteer-driven effort organized by the Sugar Pine Foundation. The young ponderosa pines — some 900 of them — went in along Mormon Emigrant Trail east of Pollock Pines, where burned trees were removed as part of fire suppression repairs. Helping with the planting were the Scouts of America, California Conservation Corps, community members and REI and Eldorado National Forest employees.

fish,” Cross said. “I was feeling a little anxious but also excited.” Within five minutes Cross got more action and reeled in his third and final catch of the day. Cross said he thought he had a good chance of winning with three catches amid unfavorable weather conditions. “You could have three big fish but there could be someone out there who has four bigger fish,” Cross explained. When the last boat was out of the water and the results tallied up, Cross had caught 7.87 pounds of bass for the win while fellow competitor Ian Ludwig caught 6.32 pounds for second place. “I was really excited just knowing

that I actually won,” Cross said. “I got a big trophy and the boat, which I’m probably going to sell and that will be good money to save up for a car in college.” Cross has been competing for about two years but began fishing at a young age. While he loves competing, he said he has a true love and respect for going out on the water and fishing for fun. “If you go to a good place, it’s very relaxing and for the most part quiet,” Cross said. “I think it’s something more people should be doing, just going out there and enjoying God’s creation and just have fun putting the line in the water.”

officials determined impacts on residents and households were “not of such severity and magnitude to warrant the designation of individual assistance.” FEMA decisions have been overturned in the past. The petition notes that FEMA also denied assistance to the victims of the 2018 Camp Fire before that decision was overturned by then President Donald Trump. “We believe El Dorado County deserves no less than the assistance provided to other areas that so desperately needed help,” states the petition. Owners of cabins built on U.S. Forest Service land are also being denied funds needed for post-fire
cleanup. Fire cleanups on Forest Service lands have previously been paid for using federal funds but owners of cabins burned by the Caldor Fire “will be paying more than $50,000 to clean up a site that has no guarantee of being allowed to re-build, regardless of their insurance coverage,” the petition continues. The petition closes by pointing out that individual assistance was granted to the people affected by hurricanes in Kentucky and the fires in Colorado and that El Dorado County humbly asks for the same assistance. “You are our last hope — the only person who can help relieve the pain of the survivors of this terrible and tragic event,” the petition concludes.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). The other person’s account of the events in a relationship may differ substantially from your own. Be receptive to the other person’s point of view. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a lucky day to gather and acquire resources. You’ll accurately estimate what you need, find the right price and get a lot of use from today’s purchases. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A curious, experimental mood takes hold. You won’t have to pursue it for long before you find yourself in a magical place. Perception alters the lighting scheme of the world. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Certain people require more of your patience. Or you can just ignore their thoughtlessness instead, and that’s an act of compassion. Why take offense when no harm was intended? You have better things to think about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve fantasized about getting someone else to do the mundane work while you follow your creative whimsy. However, it’s the mundane tasks that move your imagination. Being hands-on brings out your genius. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Normally you wouldn’t gamble with what’s precious to you, but there’s a calculated risk that seems like it might be worth taking. Make sure you have good communication and a backup plan.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not like you to accept whatever life throws your way as though it’s meant for you. You say what’s meant for you. You think ahead; you take control. What you give will strongly influence what you get. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You could use some faith. While a naive abandon of thought process isn’t your style, you could surrender your skepticism for a more practical reason. It’s heavy. Traveling light is faster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s much to do and you’ll be a leader, overseeing the action. You already know one way to get the job done. To foster teamwork and innovation, encourage others to come up with solutions too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Colleagues and friends can provide some of your most meaningful competition, as their close vicinity is intensely motivating. Don’t be afraid to share information but keep some for yourself too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is a sharing kind of day. What we share is inconsequential; it’s the effort that matters. It’s enough to appreciate being connected and let the particulars be what they are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Minefields just look like fields until something blows up. It’s a good day to respect hidden history, read all the signs, follow all the rules and heed all the warnings.

That is when Annette said she saw the silver Audi stop near her house, invoking her fear of what the girls might do. “That’s when my stomach dropped,” Annette said. “I didn’t know what they were thinking or what their intent was but they just stopped and they were sitting there.” Not wanting to be alone, Annette said she contacted her neighbor Jay Taylor but he was fishing at the time. She stopped postal worker Michael Murphy, who was delivering mail on his route, and asked him for help. Murphy was called as a witness Tuesday. “I start to deliver the mail then she comes running at me crying, visibly distraught, saying, ‘Please don’t leave, my life is in danger,’” Murphy testified. Spotting the car close by, Murphy said he went to talk to the girls to get them to stop harassing the Popejoy family. He told the court he did not block the girls’ car, allowing them to leave if they wanted. Meanwhile Annette called Bradley, who was on his way home. “I don’t remember specifics but I remember the fear in her voice,” Bradley recalled as he took the stand Wednesday. “I remember hearing BLM, car and house, which is all I could really recount because it was alarming that it had come to our house. “It will be 20 years this July we have been together and I’ve never heard her sound like that.” When Bradley got home he said he saw the Audi parked in a neighbor’s driveway and Murphy but when he went to approach them he realized he forgot to put his truck into park so he ran back to his truck. “I stepped back out of my truck and the only thing I said to them was to stay away from my family,” Bradley testified. Assuming they had left for good, Bradley went inside his home. Fear of the unknown and worried they were scouting his house, Bradley said he grabbed his shotgun and put it by his front door. “I just wanted it to be closer in case something happened later that night and I could get to it a little bit faster than having to run to the back of the house,” Bradley noted. Bradley said it was just a little bit later that he heard Annette scream,
“Oh my God, they are back.” Bradley recounted then stepping outside with his gun while Annette stayed inside with their children. “There wasn’t a threat until they came back again,” Bradley said. “There was their initial threat until they left the first time but then there was the threat when they came back because they obviously had a motive and I was unsure what the motive (was).” The teenagers drove back past the house after confronting Murphy again, looking to get information about him so they could get him fired, Murphy explained. Murphy also told the court the girls blocked his path while dropping off mail to a neighbor. Bradley asserted his gun was pointed down while they were driving by. In Jones’ testimony last week she told the court she saw the gun raised and that she “took that as a direct threat” to her life. In video evidence filmed by the teenagers the gun does not appear to be pointed at the girls but Jones claims the clip only captured a small part of the incident. “I had real fear for my family,” Bradley said. “I was thinking, ‘What the heck’s going on?’ I didn’t know and with everything you see on the TV, you just don’t know.” The video evidence also shows Bradley yelling at the girls — “Go ahead, tell your friends to come.” Bradley said his fear eased up when law enforcement arrived at the scene. Both Annette or Bradley testified that they did not know the girls were teenagers. Bradley told the responding officer he wasn’t particularly afraid of the teenagers but what might follow. “After (the officer) told me (who) was in the car, that they were just teenage girls, I was worried about video (being) released and (that) some crazy people might start showing up to my house and attacking my family,” Bradley said. This incident occurred during a time of national unrest with BLM and antifa-related protests occurring. “It has been kind of scary,” Bradley said. “The world was experiencing civil unrest and we had to see it while nothing was being done about it. “There was disruption of towns, people being killed, a lot of law enforcement being killed. It was kind of worrisome and I felt really unsafe.”

fter two years of postponement, Scotty Stoughton’s and Bonfire Entertainment’s fifth annual WinterWonderGrass festival in California comes to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) April 1-3. The event, which started in a parking lot in Edwards, Colo., in 2013, is now hosted in three areas of the United States — Steamboat Springs, Colo., North Lake Tahoe and Stratton, Vt. (postponed for one more year). “We just had the most amazing WinterWonderGrass in Colorado (Feb. 25-27) and, boy, are people ready,” said Stoughton in a recent phone interview. “It truly reconfirmed my faith in humanity — their support, kindness, personal responsibility.” Bluegrass and string music fans are blessed with the skill and ability of Stoughton and his team to gather an eclectic group of artists from across the nation. Stoughton refers to his festivals as the “traveling

circus.” Being in the music scene for the past-plus years has helped him line up stellar acts. “Twelve years ago I got more into bluegrass with its authentic sound and that’s what I want to promote,” Stoughton explained. “The big bands are easy (to book), but I have friends who play in bands and they’ll let me know of groups that may have opened for them or I’ll discover bands at pop-up events.” With past headliners such as Railroad Earth, Greensky Bluegrass, Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band and The California Honeydrops — and four stages to keep the nights buzzing with music — this year’s lineup looks to be nothing less than exciting. Previous headliner Peter Rowan returns this year to the Main Stage. The bluegrass musician and composer since the mid-1950s was hired as a songwriter, rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist for Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys, playing with the band until 1967. He composed “Panama Red,” “Midnight Moonlight” and

Pixie and the Partygrass Boys combines classical training with jazz, Broadway and pop-punk. “Lonesome L.A. Cowboy,” to name a few, and has also worked with David Grisman, Richard Greene, Bill Keith, Clarence White, Jerry Garcia, Tony Rice and John Kahn. In 1997 Rowan received a Grammy Award for contributions to the compilation “True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe,” which won Best Bluegrass Album that year. In 2012 Rowan was awarded the Bluegrass Star by the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation of Dallas, Texas. The award recognizes those artists who advance traditional bluegrass music bringing it to new audiences and preserve its character and heritage. Rowan’s album “Carter Stanley’s Eyes” was released in 2018. Rowan, a practicing Buddhist, will celebrate his 80th birthday this year. On the younger side, bluegrass phenomenon Billy Strings, 29, will also perform on the Main Stage. Born in Lansing, Mich., William Apostol, as he
was named, was given his moniker by his aunt. He has a natural ability on a variety of traditional bluegrass instruments influenced by his stepfather, Terry Barber, who picked in the Michigan bluegrass scene and introduced Billy to the music of Doc Watson, Del McCoury, David Grisman, Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Earl Scruggs and John Hartford, as well as rock and metal music of Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter and Black Sabbath. Strings first played with Traverse City, Mich., mandolin player Don Julian in 2012, a partnership that lasted until 2016. The International Bluegrass Music Association gave Strings the 2016 Momentum Award for Instrumentalist of the year; that same year Bluegrass Situation named him a “scene tastemaker.” In 2017 he was named one of the Top 10 New Country Artists to Know by Rolling Stone as well as one of the six new rising stars of bluegrass by Acoustic Guitar.

WEARING HER EYESHADOW My friend’s husband Brian said he had something for me, then handed over a bag of Ilyse’s makeup. Eye shadow had broken open, pinkish-purple dust coating the contents. He said, “I should’ve been more careful with it. I hope there’s something you can use.” It took Brian three years after she died to part with this. He doesn’t know makeup expires, or that people shouldn’t wear each other’s. Later, my husband said, “Throw that away.” I did, but the next day, while alone, I fished the bag from the garbage. Her eyeliner is my shade. I’m wearing it now. — In memory of Ilyse Kusnetz

aul Emery’s Nevada City LIVE! presents Slaid Cleaves March 29 in Nevada City. Cleaves’ music is rooted in country and traditional folk songs, but it is special enough to have held interest in a sea of singer/songwriters across the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. While he released a handful of recordings during the early ‘90s, he gained significant notice with “No Angel Knows,” released in 1997. Joined by former Lucinda Williams guitarist Gurf Morlix, Cleaves combined his passion for folk songs, blues and traditional country music into an amalgamation of styles. Not surprisingly, the album rode high into the charts at Americana radio stations around the U.S. and Canada. The release set the tone for the rest of his career. Described as “terse, clear and heartfelt” (NPR Fresh Air), his songs speak to timeless truths. “I’m not an innovator. I’m more of a keeper of the flame,” Cleaves said. “Songs are so accessible. You don’t need an education to fully appreciate them; you don’t need a lot of leisure time to spend on them; you don’t need to learn the language of song. We seem to be born with it,” he continued. “With no preparation at all, they can bring you to tears in a matter of seconds. I remember being 3 or 4 and getting a lump in my throat

Bluegrass Music Association, named one of the top trending bands of the year. The Infamous Stringdusters has been nominated several times for a Grammy, finally winning for Best Bluegrass Album in 2018. Original Infamous Stringdusters — Chris Landolfi on banjo, Andy Hall on dobro and guitarist Chris Eldridge — formed the band in Boston, Mass. All three were students at Berklee College of Music. Moving to Nashville, Tenn., they met Jesse Cobb (mandolin) and Jeremy Garrett (fiddle). They found their bassist, Travis Book, in 2005 when they held auditions for the post. Originator Eldridge left the band in 2007 to join Chris Thile’s Punch Brothers band and guitarist Andy Falco replaced him. Cobb left the band in 2011. Current members include Hall, Falco, Pandolfi, Garrett and Book. The Brothers Comatose also return to this year’s Palisades Tahoe stage. The five-piece band is based out of San Francisco and consists of brothers Ben Morrison (guitar) and Alex Morrison (banjo), Gio Benedetti (bass), Philip Brezina (violin) and Ryan Avellone (mandolin). The brothers, born in Petaluma, grew up around music and hosted their own music parties in the vein of the bluegrass tradition. Both parents were musicians and the brothers have been mostly influenced by their mother, who was in a folk band, harmonizing with other singers in their living room — something they recreate in the string band. They tend to redefine bluegrass music as a blend of
contemporary rock and traditional bluegrass. Since the mid-2000s, The Brothers Comatose has released three records — “Songs From the Stoop” (2010), “Respect the Van” (2012) and “City Painted Gold” (2016) — and either played or headlined many bluegrass festivals. The group has also toured extensively with Yonder Mountain String Band, Lake Street Dive and The Devil Makes Three. The California Honeydrops features band leader and frontman Lech Wierzynski, born in Warsaw, Poland. As a teenager he started playing blues and jazz at after-hours jam sessions in Washington, D.C. He studied trumpet with Marcus Belgrave then launched his own career in Oakland. He has accompanied artists such as Maria Muldaur, Dan Hicks and Jackie Payne and grown equally adept as a trumpeter, singer and guitarist. The band formed in 2007, playing in subway stations in Oakland. Easily migrating its sound from roots and blues to rhythm and blues and soul, The Devil Makes Three ties it all together through its New Orleans style. Instrumentation includes homemade gutbucket bass, jug and washboard connected with their vocal harmonies. Rhythms are punctuated by bluesy vocals, trumpet and piano. The rhythm section of the band is made up of Oakland piano veteran Chris Burns and Nansamba Ssensalo and Ben Malament, who rotate between tub bass, jug, washboard and drums. The California Honeydrops set off for its first European tour in October 2008 to play the Rawa Blues Festival in
Katowice, Poland, as well as shows in Germany and The Netherlands. The band’s first album with all original songs, “Soul Tub!,” was release in November 2008. “Spreadin’ Honey” was released in 2010, two years before the group played a United States and Spain tour. In 2013 the band released “Like You Mean It,” later embarking on its eighth European tour, a West Coast tour and a performance at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. In 2015 The Devil Makes Three sold out two nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco and then embarked on a U.S. tour, also touring Australia for the first time. In 2016 the band opened for Bonnie Raitt during both the spring and fall legs of her U.S. tour and again in Hawaii and Australia in 2017. Newcomers to the stage is the duo The War and Treaty featuring Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount Trotter. “Healing Tide” is their debut studio album released on Aug. 10, 2018. Michael sang in church before serving two tours of duty in Iraq. He held the sacred duty of singing for fallen soldiers. Tanya first came to prominence with the 1993 film and soundtrack “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit,” where she sang with Lauryn Hill on “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” Her debut album “Natural Thing” was released in 1994. In 1995 she is featured on “Freedom,” the title song for the film “Panther.” The same year, Tanya received a nomination for Best

Festival
Poets
Continued from B4
New Artist at the Soul Train Awards. The couple met at a music festival where they were both performing. They are inspired by their relationship as well as the voices of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Johnny Cash. Their music tends toward a roots-based soul and they have played at festivals and events such as Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Pickathon and AmericanaFest. This will be their first appearance at WWG Palisades Tahoe. Pixie and the Partygrass Boys makes its return to this year’s WWG. These young musicians from Park City, Utah, enjoy singing about their lives in the canyon land state. Katia “Pixie” Racine hits the stage with her voice, ukulele and tambourine. She’s joined by Ben Weiss on mandolin; Andrew Nelson, guitar and vocals; Amanda B. Grapes, fiddle, violin and vocals; and Zach Downes on bass and vocals. With music that falls somewhere in-between bluegrass, new grass, pop, punk and rock and roll, the band draws much of its influence from bluegrass roots of Appalachia and they transport it to their western edge of the Rocky Mountains. Pixie and the Partygrass Boys’ sound is uniquely American, combining classical training with jazz, Broadway and poppunk.
Additional artists scheduled to appear are the Kitchen Dwellers, Della Mae, Lindsay Lou, Larry Keel Experience, Town Mountain, Trout Steak Revival, Midnight North, Cris Jacobs, Old Salt Union, Rapidgrass, TK & The Holy Know Nothings, Twisted Pine and Pickin’ on the Dead. The event kicks off with free music 2-5 p.m. Thursday, March 31, in the village. A separate, for-purchase ticket for the Tram to Table Dinner, 5-9 p.m., is available, featuring music by Keller Williams and a 10-minute ride in a tram car to High Camp. WinterWonderGrass festivals include local beer, cider, seltzer, kombucha and wine tasting. This year’s California wine partner is Castoro Cellars, a biodynamic farm from Central California. In 2019 Stoughton implemented a shuttle for a nominal fee that would take fans to outlying venues. Outlying motels and hotels will be easily accessed with this addition. Grass After Dark events are held throughout the weekend at an additional cost. Also available through separate purchases are Palisades Tahoe life tickets. COVID-19 protocols for the festival will comply with all county and state recommendations. More information is available via winterwondergrass.com, where readers can find additional information on artists’ performing dates and times.

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: 05/04/22 at 8:30AM in Dept. 8 located 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.

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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner LESLIE E.

On May 3, 2022 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 13, 2006 as Instrument No. 20060009520-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by DARLYS EDWARDS, A SINGLE WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for TFW, INC.

provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $358,550.18 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 ServiceLink Auction | Hudson and Marshall at (866) 539-4173 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address https://www.servicelinkauction. com/ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000375-20-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 539-4173, or visit this internet website https://www. servicelinkauction.com/, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000375-20-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 091311-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 TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 091311-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 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.

Performers with the Portland Cello Project will impress the audience with their unique works.
Cellists to play in Grass Valley News release
T
he Portland Cello Project, a nationally recognized performing, recording and educational group with a revolving cast of cellists, takes the stage Sunday in Grass Valley. In the fall of 2006 nine cellists got on stage at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge to perform western classical music in an informal setting. Many of the cellists that night thought it would only happen once. Portland Cello Project (or PCP as their fans affectionately call them) were quickly appearing anywhere and everywhere
in North America, from punk rock clubs to symphony halls. The group developed a three-part philosophy that has mostly remained unchanged over the years: to bring the cello places you wouldn’t normally see it, to perform music on the cello you wouldn’t normally associate with the instrument and to build bridges between different musical communities through education, outreach and collaboration. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Center for the Arts, 314 Main St. in Grass Valley. For tickets and more information visit thecenterforthearts. org/event/portland-cello-project.

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing in “Godspell,” opening March 25 at Sutter Street Theatre, 717 Sutter St. in Folsom. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage, dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life in this production directed by Karl Johnson with musical direction by David Williams and choreography by Trace Landrum. Performances are scheduled at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays (no performance on April 2) and 4:30 p.m. For tickets and more information call (916) 353-1001 or visit SutterStreetTheatre.com.
