Orange tier on horizon for El Dorado County Thomas Frey Staff writer El Dorado County could soon move into the orange tier. Giving county officials an update on local impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, county Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting said she expects the seven-day daily average of coronavirus cases to drop to about three per 100,000, which would eventually qualify the county for the moderate orange tier in the state’s
Blueprint for a Safer Economy. “Having orange and yellow tier values doesn’t do anything for us now but it would mean that if we can maintain values at least low enough to qualify for the orange tier next week, we would be assigned to the orange tier,” Williams said. If that occurs, she said the county could be moved to the orange tier as early as March 31. “Unless things start turning upward, I think we have a pretty good chance,” Williams added. When asked if El Dorado County
could have another COVID-19 breakout, Williams said the county is less likely to have another surge if it continues to get ahead in vaccinations. So far 70,838 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in the county, according to Kristine Guth, Public Health program manager for the county. Guth said 53.7% of doses have been administered to residents 65 and older.
In-person meetings to return?
Board of Supervisors, said staff is looking into ways to hold meetings in-person again at the board chambers on Fair Lane. She said one of the major hurdles has been wearing masks in the chambers. Dawson said she tested the sound quality in the chamber by wearing her mask while speaking and said it was hard for others to comprehend her. She said once audio tests are completed “hopefully by mid-April”

hen COVID19 shut down all the organized race walking events Norman Stoldt was signed up for, he was about 50 races short of his decades-long goal of competing in 500 competitive runs or walks before his 80th birthday. The 79-year-old Placerville resident began competing in races during the Marshall Mash Bash in the spring of 1991 as a runner. Due to knee problems, in 1996 Stoldt began race walking. “I discovered that I was a much better race walker than I ever was a runner,” Stoldt said. “In my 60s and now in my 70s I found that I was competitive with the runners in my age group.” The Air Force veteran said race walking, which requires competitors to keep at least one foot on the ground at all times, is the ideal sport for seniors with knee problems because “it reduces the stress on joints by a factor of 10 compared to running or jogging.” Stoldt said he loves being a dedicated race walker. “My thrill of the sport is not just about physical fitness or winning trophies and medals,” Stoldt said. “It’s also a way for me to support a variety of good causes in youth programs, medical research and the environment.” Shortly after races were shut down due to

Placerville’s go-getter Norman “Stormin’ Norman” Stoldt hit his mark of finishing 500 run/walk events before his 80th birthday — even though the last 54 had to be participated in virtually. Stoldt is hoping in-person running events return as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes and in the meantime he’s breaking out his bicycle. COVID-19, organizers began hosting events virtually. For months Stoldt supported important causes by signing up for races where he completed the race in his own time and place of his choosing before receiving a T-shirt and medal in the mail. Retired police dogs injured in the line of duty were one races’ beneficiaries. While competing virtually, Stoldt alternated completing
races at El Dorado and Ponderosa high schools’ tracks, along with Happy Valley Road in Somerset. He hit his goal of race No. 500 participating in the Run to Feed the Hungry event, which has been run every Thanksgiving morning in Sacramento since 1994. This year Stoldt completed one of the largest Thanksgiving runs in the nation near his home on the track at El Dorado. On the road to 500
Stoldt had family at his side. His daughter Melanie trained and competed with him when he started his journey until an injury forced her to drop out. Oldest daughter Elizabeth joined him for a time. “We often trained on the bike path off Missouri Flat Road,” Stoldt said. “My most fulfilling race was doing a three-person relay with Elizabeth and my granddaughter n
In a 3-2 vote Tuesday evening the Placerville City Council decided to host an educational forum on the topic of the noose on the city seal and the town’s Old Hangtown epithet but to limit the City Council’s decision following the forum to whether to remove the noose from the city seal. Decisions on the logo’s design or the Old Hangtown nickname will be postponed to a later date. A subcommittee of Vice Mayor “This for-or-against Kara Taylor and Councilwoman situation we’ve been Patty Borelli, in for a year is not working with productive for the City Manager Cleve Morris, was community.” directed at the — Kara Taylor, March 9 meeting vice mayor of Placerville to create an outline for a public forum to educate the City Council and residents on the history of the noose and nickname. The subcommittee came back with a process for the meeting and further items to be considered. The proposed topics of the forum and the presenters include: • History of Native Americans in the Placerville area presented by Erin Young of the Wopumnes Nisenan-Mewuk Tribe. • Early settlement, Gold Rush, Hangtown and Dry Diggings incorporation/un-incorporation presented by a historian from California State University, Sacramento. • Name change to Placerville, Pony Express, John Studebaker, the volunteer fire department

John Joseph Pearson Jr.
CRIME LOG
June 19, 1930 – March 10, 2021
John Joseph Pearson Jr. age 90, left those of us that knew and loved him, passing peacefully on the morning of March 10. John was born in Providence, R.I., the second of four children of John J. Pearson Sr. and Florence Pearson (nee Saint Jacques). He attended the La Salle Academy Preparatory School while in Providence. When John was 15, the family moved to Fairfield, Calif., where he quickly became a star player for his local high school teams. John dreamed of a career in sports and did receive a full football scholarship for college. While attending St. Mary’s College, a knee injury sidelined his goals. John served in the National Guard and was known as a true patriot to friends and family. He loved the USA and was very involved politically throughout his life. In his early career, John was hired as a junior engineer for the Aerojet Corporation graduating to full fledge engineer during his tenure with the company. Highlights of his time with Aerojet would be his involvement in the Titan I and Titan II initial rocket program and for fun, the company bowling league. John’s next venture took him into the world of entrepreneurship with Mr. Chlorine, a pool cleaning system that revolutionized the industry. From there, John set his sights on real estate, with a focus on Cameron Park. John saw the potential this fledgling community held and was very instrumental in the development of the area. During this time John met the love of his life, Barbara Cook. Together, under the leadership of John, they built one of the largest real estate companies in California. Cook and Cook Realtors excelled in the industry and rose to the No. 1 brokerage in El Dorado County as well as enjoying a large market share in Sacramento. Longtime memberships, presidencies and other leadership positions within state and national realtor organizations created many opportunities for John. A voracious reader, always studying and improving his skills, John was a marketing expert and excellent sales trainer, helping many new agents to achieve their highest potential. John loved people, loved helping others and was a natural leader. His passions were golf, his San Francisco Giants, attending the 49ers games and traveling the world with his beloved Barbara and friends. John was a family man with many children. John is survived by seven children; Margaret Skondin, Cecilia Nelson, Maura Eastwood, John Pearson III, Colleen Gibbs, Bridget West and Mollie Pearson. He also had five step-children, two “adopted” stepchildren, 19 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. Our father lived an incredible life and as the song goes, he did it “my way” he sure did. John was very much loved and will be dearly missed, by all of us. A memorial service will be held at the Green Valley Mortuary at 3004 Alexandrite Drive, Rescue. Friday April 2, 2021 at 11 a.m. A celebration of life will immediately follow at the Cameron Park Country Club from 12:30-3:30 p.m. where family and friends may share their fondest memories of John Pearson.

An ordinance to help restaurants and retailers stay open despite the COVID-19-related lockdown by allowing outdoor operations was renewed by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Tuesday. It was due to expire April 1. The ordinance was extended to Dec. 31 or until rescinded by the Board of Supervisors, whichever occurs first. Last July the board approved an urgency ordinance and amendments to the zoning ordinance temporarily easing restrictions on outdoor dining and outdoor retail sales. The changes, along with the county’s Temporary Outdoor Dining and Retail Sales Program, were established to ensure restaurants and retailers were able to operate successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants and retail establishments with access to sidewalks or parking spots are allowed to use the outdoor space for dining activities in accordance with guidelines published by the California

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced upcoming funding opportunities for a variety of cannabis-related projects statewide through the Cannabis Restoration Grant Program. CDFW has released a draft proposal solicitation notice for public review and comment. The draft solicitation includes funding opportunities in two priority categories statewide: • Cleanup and remediation of public lands impacted by illegal cannabis cultivation • Watershed and/or community enhancements where either legal or illegal cannabis cultivation occurs. CDFW is also developing a new grant opportunity with a focus on assisting qualified cannabis growers. More details on this opportunity will be announced later this year. “We are excited to engage with organizations of all sizes about their ideas and cannabis-related projects

Department of Public Health. The Temporary Outdoor Dining and Retail Sales Program includes social-distancing requirements and other site design standards and it temporarily eases provisions of a zoning ordinance pertaining to restrictions for off-street parking and temporary signage. The urgency ordinance does not change the required off-street parking calculation for retail and/or restaurant uses but it does allow for up to 50% of required parking spaces to be converted to outdoor dining space or retail space. The 50% reduction in parking spaces was intended to offset the reduction of patrons allowed inside due to ongoing social distancing requirements. The urgency ordinance also does not change the number, size or type of allowed temporary signs but it does allow for temporary signs to be used during the duration of the ordinance and is not subject to the time limits in the zoning ordinance of 90 cumulative days in a calendar year.

Mountain Democrat celebrates 170 years
N
ow beginning its 170th year of publication, the Mountain Democrat is the lone survivor of the Gold Rush era that once had 19 other publications available before 1858. News, whiskey and women were sought after by RICHARD ESPOSITO miners although their ultimate quest was the lure of gold. Thomas Springer launched the El Dorado News in Coloma in 1851 and then renamed the publication the El Dorado Republican later that same year, moving it to Placerville. Springer sold the subscription list and press of the El Dorado Republican to Dan W. Gelwicks and William January in 1854. With that sale the El Dorado Republican became the Mountain Democrat with the first edition under the new title printed Feb. 25, 1854. This year marks 170 years of continuous publication of the oldest newspaper in California, a very special milestone. Much has changed over the past 17 decades. Advanced technology has altered how the newspaper is composed, printed and delivered. News consumption has also evolved over time and with the introduction of the internet the print edition is giving sway to the electronic version. When once it was common to subscribe to multiple publications serving the same city, today it’s rare to find more than one. True to those news people who preceded us, we continue to cover and record events relevant to the lives of our residents and readers. As mentioned in the 75th Anniversary Souvenir Edition published in 1928, the editorial policy of the Mountain Democrat was noted from its earliest beginnings: “During the trying times leading up to and during the Civil War, it stood unswervingly, for the Union and at all times while it has been partizan under some editors, it has been just and was never extremely radical. It has always stood for the better things in life, for the advancement of mankind, the up-building of manhood and womanhood, for better business and for the highest social, political and economic ideals. “Withal it has progressed with the times. In common with others of the best papers, it no longer deals in personalities; it is in itself an individual — an entity — higher than and uncontrolled by party, or person, in its purposes and policies.” The Mountain Democrat has its place in El Dorado County history. In the 95 years since these words were written the newspaper has chronicled international, statewide, regional and local events. Today our mission centers on reporting primarily local news. As the oldest business in El Dorado County we continue to adjust our strategies to meet the everchanging news and information trends so important to our readers and advertisers. Our online edition carries the most traffic of any website in the county and we now offer advertisers ■

Letters to the Editor Hangtown’s logo EDITOR: t is my fervent believe that the vast majority of Placervillians respect the history of our great city and believe that we should not allow a few, very vocal agitators, part of the cancel culture, to eliminate the name “Hangtown” or remove the noose from our incredible city emblem. At first they say, “Oh, we will only want to take off the name ‘Hangtown’ and that is all.” Like the frog in increasingly hot water, eventually he gets used to it and eventually dies because it is too late. That could be those who do nothing to stop these radicals. Sure, the logo was just designed in the 1970s but it reflected the desires of most of the residents then and I believe it still does today. Why not take this to a vote of all Placervillians to let them decide what they should keep in this logo, not let a small but very vocal group tell us what we need to do. Yes we are different, we are unique and we celebrate that. We celebrate that we stand for justice and law. We were a lawful place in the wild west; this was a pro not a con. Placerville still stands for that today. STEVEN PUTHUFF El Dorado Hills
I
End wars now EDITOR: think something that all sides of the political spectrum can agree on is the very fact that we have to get out of wars that are plaguing countries around the world. Whatever the intention was, we have done way more harm than good fighting various wars in the name of promoting human rights and/or democracy. Our presence in conflict zones around the world present several issues: it is a security threat for our troops, it is a national security threat in general for our mainland and the humanitarian toll has reached catastrophic levels. What we have seen in decades long wars — whether Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan — is that the enemies we are fighting don’t want us meddling in their affairs ( just like we don’t like it when others meddle in ours) and the cycle of violence continues and millions suffer. Worst of all, our presence in other countries have created a national security threat for us and our allies, just look at 9/11 or the November 2015 Paris attacks. Lastly what I find to be the most important reason as to why need to get out of these wars is the humanitarian catastrophes it is creating.
I
Obviously, I don’t want to see an ISIS Caliphate, but our ongoing war efforts have only exacerbated poverty, starvation and destruction of cities and cultures like we’ve never seen. Look at Yemen right now. Our weapons are funding a campaign that has created the largest humanitarian crisis in an already impoverished country. People are dying, bombs are dropping and people are left to either flee or suffer where they are. We cannot support this any longer. What should we being doing instead, you may ask? If we spent half of what we spend on our military capabilities and weaponry, we could make a huge difference in eradicating some of these very issues. For example, if we spent money on funding schools in a war-torn country, then groups such as ISIS won’t have the ability to indoctrinate young men into joining its cause, which benefits us and the people living under that threat. If we fund programs that ensure stronger healthcare infrastructure or that provide food to the needy, then we are not only not getting involved in the strife that affects that particular region, but we are doing all we can to help people rather than contribute to the problems they face. The United States has so much potential to make drastic changes for millions of people and pulling us out of endless wars is the first place to start. ADAM BERNSTEIN Camino
Republican Party and memory loss EDITOR: t is ironic that the mascot for the Republican Party is the elephant, because elements of the Grand Old Party seem to have no memories of Donald Trump’s actual presidency. Talk about cancel culture. How can Trump loyalists have so quickly forgotten Trump’s most recent failures: “stolen election” fantasies, Capitol riot instigation, COVID-19 pandemic failures, pardons to friends, disdain from foreign allies, paying only $750 in federal income tax, bloated national debt — not to mention his constant lies and unpresidential tweets? It is baffling how many Americans can support a man of such low-grade character and job performance. Amazingly, Trump and his family members are still being touted as candidates for future political office, despite his legacy. Though they may not agree with President Biden, mainstream Republicans are seeing his

Restoring power to California’s local communities
O
ver the last year Californians have had to navigate a complex and evolving set of colors, tiers and rules delivered by a top-down, statewide framework. In the process, our state lost touch with a basic premise of democracy: KEVIN trusting local communities and the people to make their own decisions. To restore this trust to its proper place in state government, Assemblyman James Gallagher and I have introduced Assembly Concurrent Resolution 46 to terminate the governor’s emergency powers and end state-level COVID-19 restrictions in California. It is well past time to
dispense with onesize-fits and mandates and return decisionmaking power to Californians and their representatives at the local level. A growing number of geographically and politically diverse states are already doing this. California, by contrast, KILEY is last in the nation in opening its schools as well as its businesses. And we are no better for it by any measure. The Associated Press recently reported, “California and Florida have experienced almost identical outcomes in COVID-19 case rates” despite their differing approaches, and, “States with greater governmentimposed restrictions have not always

California ... is last in the nation in opening its schools as well as its businesses. fared better than those without them.” As of today, California has the nation’s second highest unemployment, lowest percent of kids at school and seventh worst COVID-era excess mortality. Florida’s unemployment is half California’s, all its kids can go to school compared to a small fraction of ours and its health outcomes are better. In the past year, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed 63 executive orders, remaking much of life in our state without any input from the people of California or their elected representatives. In April Assemblyman Gallagher and I will be back in court challenging this overreach, as the appeals court will
decide whether to uphold our victory at trial last November. In the meantime, the Legislature should immediately move to approve ACR 46. In a free society the burden is on the government to provide a compelling justification for any restrictions on the liberty of citizens. There can be no such justification, not for another day, when California’s worst-in-the-nation lockdowns have produced the nation’s worst COVIDera outcomes. Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6th Assembly District, which includes parts of El Dorado, Placer and Sacramento counties. Follow him on Twitter @ KevinKileyCA.

skew reality: “If you really believe that these are your views and not the views of right-wing media personalities then I would say, prove it: Take the challenge. And the challenge is: Do what I did. Walk away from all of it.” Objectivity is a powerful agent for change. If the Republican Party does not adjust to reality, mainstream Republicans will. When that happens, it will spell disaster for the Republican Party as we have known it. DAVID KENELLER El Dorado Hills

vigorous coronavirus leadership and how a real president is supposed to govern — and they are taking note. They are also seeing the likes of Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley speaking for their party (not exactly a who’s who of men with admirable character). Five traditional Republican senators have already announced they will not run for reelection in 2022, deepening the ideological divide between traditional GOP lawmakers and Trump loyalists, thus creating opportunities for Democrats. The Republican Party needs to give itself an intervention, exhibit some intestinal fortitude and move beyond destructive Trumpism. With such a reset, the GOP can begin the process of identifying and rallying around new leaders and candidates that mainstream Republicans, Independents and even some moderate Democrats can support. Sooner or later mainstream Republicans will see through the Hannity/Carlson drumbeat of falsity. They may heed former right-wing Republican Rusty Manseau’s advice for those still hooked on angry, right-wing media outlets that

In a year when high school sports have been restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic El Dorado High School’s athletics program has found something to celebrate — its 2020 Wall of Fame athletes and Athletic Cornerstone and Outstanding Team awardees. Athletes, coaches and teams are recognized about every five years. A panel comprised of individuals with knowledge of El Dorado’s athletic history was established to research and create a list of El Dorado’s most accomplished athletes. Once that list was established current coaches voted on the athletes that best represented the history of Cougar athletics — individuals whose overall contribution was substantial. Wall of Fame inductees will be honored at tonight’s home football game against Liberty Ranch High School.

A solid field of winged 360 sprint cars is expected to converge upon the red clay and help the Sprint Car Challenge Tour open its fourth season of action.
Sprint Car Challenge Tour to launch at Placerville Speedway Gary Thomas Special to the Democrat After not racing last season the Sprint Car Challenge Tour is ready to get the show on the road for 2021 and it all starts Saturday at Placerville Speedway. Spring Fever Frenzy launches what is slated to be a 14-race campaign for the tour and marks the first of two appearances at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. A solid field of winged 360 sprint cars is expected to converge upon the red clay and help the Sprint Car Challenge Tour open its fourth season of action. Also on the card this Saturday is the Bay Cities Racing Association’s Lightning Sprints. A limited number of fans have been approved to sit in the grandstands for the show and those tickets have all sold out but pit passes are available to watch from the hill and can be purchased via the Pit Pay Mobile Pit Pass app. The COVID-19 form is also built into Pit Pay, saving the need to print it out. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will also be streamed thanks to a partnership with FloRacing. Can’t make it to the track? FloRacing.com will have live flag-to-flag coverage of each and every SCCT event. “Entering what will now be our fourth season we believe the SCCT schedule is the best one yet with tracks like Chico, Ocean and Marysville joining the mix,” said SCCT President Scott Russell. “I want to thank all the n

Meiko.” The largest event Stoldt said he has participated in was the 79,000-strong Bay to Breakers run/walk and the smallest was a 20-person run/walk in Elk Grove. The weather hasn’t always been friendly in these races and Stoldt said the wettest was the 2012 Sacramento Marathon. “While water on the route was only puddle deep, our relay vehicle between dropoffs had to drive through water at times a foot deep,” Stoldt said of the marathon that he nicknamed Sacramento’s Monstrous Monsoon Marathon. Stoldt, who over a 12-year period successfully completed the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, Tahoe Rim and Continental Divide trails, doesn’t plan to stop moving anytime soon. In 2014 he began tackling a coast-to-coast ride on bicycle (in stages). “I’m hoping this spring the virus is no longer a threat and I can ship my bike to Virginia and cycle over the Appalachian Mountains to Lexington, Ky., thereby finishing my coast-to-coast ride,” Stoldt said.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Different people inspire you to connect to different parts of your nature. Who has you seeking your better angels? Those are the folks to fill your mind, heart and time with now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t worry. You didn’t meet the right person at the wrong time because that’s not even a thing. There’s only meeting people when you do and making it mean something to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Around people who don’t yet know you, your options are wide open. You can be anyone you want or dare to be. And though it’s more work, the same principle actually applies to people who know you well. CANCER (June 22-July 22). While it’s natural to find conflict off-putting, avoiding it altogether would be harmful. Resign yourself to the idea that difficult discussions are often necessary to reach a satisfying compromise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re drawn to people with a pleasant resting face and an all-around excellent default personality. Usually, you only see those things when the chips are down and so are defenses, but you have a sixth sense about it now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To be in a mix where people want what you have is to know the power of leverage. You have had it before and will get it again, once you see and present one of your many gifts in a new light.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You lavish demonstrations of respect, attention and love on those in your circle but sometimes forget that you are part of that circle, too, and arguably the most important part. You put the “you” in “your circle.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s true that there are many with less than you have, but it’s not a cause for you to feel guilty. Instead, move your stewardship to a higher level of doing the most good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though digital clutter doesn’t really take up much of your living space, it can rent a disproportionate amount of space in your psyche and to deleterious effect. Good email organization will revitalize. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Leave draining environments. You know who influences you in an exciting direction and should settle for no less. You can never have enough positive influences, so keep up the quest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). That thing you wished for again and again was not a childish impulse of the past but a calling inside of a chrysalis. It’s still growing and will take a new form. What can you do to feed the process? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it possible to revere someone without a pedestal? To prop your admired one up too far is to set them up for a fall. Stay on equal footing. There is just as much to admire in the parallel view.

not the greatest look.” “This for-or-against situation we’ve been in for a year is not productive for the community,” said Taylor “Before coming around to this (new) process, in talking with the facilitator, I had in my mind that we would have a council meeting where we would vote yes or no to remove the noose, then that would trigger a process where if the noose would be removed we would go through this exploratory phase to figure out what would be next,” Taylor said. She explained that the council did not have to have the highly contentious yes or no vote first, but go through a community process instead to hopefully establish some community consensus. After further discussion Neau made a motion to retain the educational presentations as outlined in the proposal for the April 7 public forum and then bring the decision back to City Council at the following meeting for a yes or no vote regarding the noose on the city seal. The motion passed with Taylor and Mayor Dennis Thomas voting against. “I will support the city in moving forward with this and move to help facilitate that,” said Thomas. “I wouldn’t throw away the nuanced approach yet because that still may be a valid process we can continue once we follow this motion,”

the decision and the right to remove the symbol of the noose.” Greater Placerville resident Gail Hesselgesser suggested the council “take into consideration not only popular opinion but also responsibilities as leaders.” Discussion by City Council members followed. “These presentations, we are going to insist that they are unbiased, that they are just the facts,” said Councilwoman Borelli. She then reiterated the city does not have control over the hanging dummy on private property on Main Street. “Right now it’s either ‘no way, they’re not going to change it’ or ‘yes, I want it changed,’” said Borelli. “This might give people a little more food for thought in making their decision.” Referring to the proposed educational process. Councilwoman Jackie Neau questioned a process that would include removing the name of Old Hangtown since the original conversation with the council last July started with removing the noose from the logo. “I really just understood, just before this meeting, that we were no longer talking about taking Old Hangtown off the welcome sign and the police cars and the patches,” said Neau, “and if I’m confused I’m guessing other people are too.” She added that the conversation about Old Hangtown is a much bigger discussion. Council member Michael Saragosa compared the process to Sisyphus rolling a boulder uphill and that having a process that includes the community being involved in the redesign of the logo presumes that the logo was going to be changed and, “If that’s the case, we might as well go back to the original format of (erasing) the noose off the logo.” Saragosa then admitted that at one time he didn’t realize the city seal had a noose on it but once he knew about it he thought, “Yeah that’s probably

Other items on the proposal included a call to residents for images that demonstrate Placerville today and using those images to create an artist contest to design a new logo. Polling of residents’ opinion would also occur in this proposed outline. During public comment several callers agreed that the educational aspect of the process was important. Many applauded the subcommittee’s efforts. “I think education is super important but I don’t agree with whole changing the noose logo,” said a caller only identified as Kristin. She also asked how businesses with the Hangtown name would be affected. “This question has nothing to do with history,” said Brian Chapman, Diamond Springs resident. “The symbol, the illustration that we’re discussing is an internationally recognized symbol of hate and violence.” Placerville resident Micheal Drobish said he would like to see what it would take to put this issue to a public vote. He told the council it should “separate (itself ) from the controversy and then defend the decision of the electorate.” Placerville resident and Community Pride founder Kathi Lishman said it was a “great time and opportunity for an update,” and that she thought City Council has the right to make

ary Ann Broddrick has been painting for years and has tried her hand at several mediums throughout her journey as an artist. She came to El Dorado County 62 years ago while in high school. She started in the arts as a porcelain artist, painting on ceramic vases, etc. Learning how to make porcelain, bisque fire and glaze the works as well as painting she quickly realized her real focus was painting the designs on the porcelain. From this, she went on to explore watercolors. There are similarities to the two art forms in which artists work from light colors to darks, she explained, saying she enjoyed each medium equally. Later, however, she was attracted to the soft pastels she currently practices, working from dark to light colors while softly layering and blending through the process. Broddrick said she considers herself an impressionist who leans more toward realism. However, not always remaining in a single category, an abstract piece of hers won an award at the Motherlode International Show and another abstract piece
Mary Ann Broddrick adds some color to a work in progress in her home studio in Placerville. titled “Climate Change” has been selected in juried shows. The longtime artist has been painting prolifically for years and, until the lockdown began, she entered shows, showed at galleries and worked with co-op galleries, painting groups and meetups. She hasn’t stopped creating during the pandemic so her catalog of art continues to grow. She actually can’t stop creating, she admitted, and when posing for a picture of her work she couldn’t resist picking up a pastel to add a touch of color to a work in progress. What to do with
all these beautiful pieces? Enter Jonathan Broddrick, Mary Ann’s grandson, who was born and raised in Placerville. He said he considers himself an art enthusiast and has had his hand in art projects in the past, not the least of which was building an art car exhibited at the annual Burning Man event in 2019. Jonathan realized his grandmother had a large catalog of pastel works in storage, hanging on walls or in shows displayed in local galleries. The two decided it was time they found the pieces new homes. “Grandma has like
over 300 pieces of pastel artwork,” Jonathan said, “Some are framed, some are not and most of them are not being seen by anyone.” “Jonathan’s enthusiasm came up when he said, ‘Let’s get this show on the road, Grandma’ and so the process of creating an inventory and photographing the body of work began,” Mary Ann explained. “I’ve been to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and seen works by artists like Van Gogh and Rembrandt up close,” said Jonathan. “I might be a little biased but I think that my grandma’s work
competes with them.” Wanting his grandmother’s art to be appreciated by more than just him, he said he thought it was time to build a brand around Mary Ann and her work. Mary Ann was clear about her goal to keep the process professional, conscientious and safe, explaining, “There’s too much fraud out there and I’d like to make sure that everyone is safe when purchasing my art.” Jonathan has started the work creating an online presence for Mary Ann, including an e-commerce website and social media profiles. They expect to launch the suite of online offerings in the fall — just in time for holiday shopping. Another future plan for the duo is using Mary Ann’s art to help raise funds for worthy causes in the county. Being intimately involved in the community, she said she already has several ideas of which nonprofit organizations to assist. The duo clearly has their work cut out for themselves creating the online catalogue of Mary Ann’s work but they said they both feel up to the challenge ... as long as Jonathan can keep up with Mary Ann’s productivity.

eaders might be misled by the size of Sandy Powell’s book, “Cowboy Culture,” and her photograph on the cover, into thinking that it is a coffee table book about ranching life. The book is 13 inches wide and 9-1/2 inches high. Several of her inside photographs spread across the 26 inches of double pages. But the book is so much more. In almost 200 pages, Powell creates a visual documentary that brings to life the spirit of the Old West. It is a paean to the extraordinary people who keep the traditions alive. She refers to herself as the messenger for their stories. Her photographs evoke experiences on days-long trail rides and other events. The landscape is the Sierra Nevada mountain range, both eastern and western sides. She augmented her personal photographs with historical scenes, people and maps. The stories Powell conveys were shared by the individuals who are continuing the western
Roberta Long Democrat correspondent traditions: The ranchers, descendants of families who traveled by wagon beginning in the 1840s to settle in California and who learned how to raise cattle in dry country from the Mexican vaqueros. The rodeo cowboys, who demonstrate the skills developed working with horses and cattle in competition. Packers, whose artistry and skills at balancing loads carried by horses and mules protects the animals’ health and even lives. Basque sheep ranchers, who came from the Pyrenees mountains during the Gold Rush seeking their fortunes, but most found their hereditary occupation herding sheep more profitable. Pony Express re-riders, who annually recreate the mail delivery service by horse
from St. Joseph, Mo. to California, and reverse, that lasted from April 1860 to October 1861. Gunslingers and vigilantes, not always the cream of the social crop, but representative of the lack of formal government and laws. Re-enactors who pick one or more historical persons to research and portray the fascinating background and lives of each character. Re-enactors are available individually and in groups to entertain and inform. Powell also acknowledges the contributions made by the working animals: Horses, the animal most identified with western life. Horses were used to pull the wagon trains over the Rockies, across the desert and into California. They were trained to round up cattle and drive them up the mountains in the spring and down in fall. Teams of draft horses carried heavy loads and farmers used draft horses before mechanical equipment was available. Mules, offspring of a female horse and a male donkey. In the late 1880s they cost more than a horse. Mules got an undeserved bad reputation in the
mid-20th century when they were seen in Western movies as stupid and stubborn foils for comedy. But the combined parentage results in an animal that is more sure-footed, hardier, with 180-degree eyesight and works more for less feed. Since 2013 mules have been reintroduced into forest management. When fighting wildfires, mules are an alternative to deliver supplies when helicopters are grounded due to smoke and darkness. Sheep, once prized solely for their wool and meat, are now an important tool in reducing wildfire hazards as well. They eat a wide variety of plants, including highly flammable invasive species. They are sure-footed and can be guided into steep terrains by dogs to graze in targeted areas. Powell’s book contains a welcoming invitation to experience the Old West, either as participant or spectator. From meeting a Pony Express re-rider to participating in a trail ride or on a wagon train, or joining aficionados at Bishop Mule Days or the Draft Horse Classic in Nevada County, there is something for every level and age.

buttered and salty ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ HHHH R, 4 hours 2 minutes - Action, Adventure, Fantasy Now available on HBO Max
Joshua B. Porter
F
our years ago Warner Bros. unleashed an uninspired, sloppy mess of a film called “Justice League” and I gave it two stars. The film came out in November of that year and I must have been feeling the forthcoming holiday spirit, because in retrospect two stars was way too generous of a review movie. The behind-the-scenes drama that stemmed from this long-indevelopment adaption of the DC Comic is enough to fill a feature-length documentary. Long story short; After the successful but maligned “Man of Steel” (2013) and its quasi-sequel “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” (2016), Director Zack Snyder
Democrat correspondent embarked on finishing his comic book trilogy with “Justice League,” a teaming up of comic book heroes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and others who fans have been clamoring to see years before Marvel reached critical mass with its “Avengers” team-ups. Director Snyder had to leave the project just as filming was wrapping up due to an awful family tragedy, so Warner Bros. brought on Joss Whedon (“The Avengers”) to shoot new material and re-edit what Snyder had shot. The released film (we’ll call it the “Theatrical Cut”) was a disappointment both commercially and creatively. Four years later and with the birth of
streaming service HBO Max, as well as thousands of fans clamoring for the studio to “Release the Snyder Cut,” Zack Snyder has finally been given the green light to finish his comic book opus. Color me shocked, it’s really damn good. Clocking in at a trim four hours and two minutes, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is a big, classy, ambitious, sometimes pretentious but quite intriguing watch. Truth be told, after growing up as a DC comics kid (favorites being Batman and Superman) I had been waiting for years to see a big budget “Justice League” movie and boy was I frustrated in 2017. So much so that when the improbable happened and Snyder actually got WB to pony up another $70 million last year to finish effects and complete the edit on this longer directors cut, I yawned. Why would I want to subject myself to more torture? Once was enough when the theatrical cut was released a few years back.

Then something surprising happened; the opening scene of this new version was completely different (and a lot better), setting up how the big, bad and the “Mother Boxes” (the “McGuffins” of the film) are awoken. The theatrical cut from four years ago opened with a badly CGI’d-out mustache on Superman (Google it) talking to an iPhone camera. This version shows the Man of Steel getting killed at the end of the last film (“Batman v Superman”), with his death yell reverberating across the planet, sending shock waves in all corners of the Earth, waking up the evil “Mother Boxes” and alerting the villain Steppenwolf (the bad guy, not the band) of their presence. It may sound a tad confusing to read, but trust me when I say it was a much more visually effective and classy way to start this film. I can’t understand why on Earth this was edited out in Joss Whedon’s cut. It gets worse. There are literally dozens of examples where I was left scratching my head, wondering why so many great moments and scenes got exorcised for the awful jokey dialog and badly lit scenes Whedon and company reshot after Snyder left. There is a wonderfully emotional and heart-wrenching scene in the middle of the new cut between Ma Kent and Lois Lane. It looks fantastic, is superbly acted and, dare I say, emotional. Whedon and Warner Brothers cut it out and replaced it by a flat looking scene between the two characters in the Daily Planet break room, complete with absurd jokey dialog from co-workers and ineffective emotional beats. A lot of people blame Whedon for the mess of the 2017 theatrical cut and rightfully so. He did agree to come on board, cut a film that was intended as threeplus hours down to two, rewrite scenes to add random humor and jokes (Batman gets the worst of this) and completely
cut out character arcs of certain heroes (the largest omission being Ray Fisher’s “Cyborg,” whose character and story is redeemed here), but he was not alone in that mess. There’s plenty you can blame Whedon for both on and off the set (another Google assignment), but Warner Bros. is completely culpable here. The studio saw an opening to change the tone and vision of Snyder’s flick after he left the project and put what I can only assume where dozens of studio executives’ hands on it. It feels like a film by committee. This new version — Zack Snyder’s version — is a complete, consistent vision. Characters are given full introductions and character arcs, the stakes seem higher, Batman doesn’t give ridiculous one-liners, the villain has a backstory (and looks better) and there’s an emotional core. We actually care about these characters again. We are living in an interesting time when it comes to motion pictures. This director’s cut wouldn’t exist without the new streaming service HBOMax and the enthusiasm of fans clamoring for it. Other services will see its success and feel more
comfortable taking a risk with filmmakers who have a vision that wouldn’t normally fit in the confines of traditional theatrical windows. Synder’s style and character decisions may not be everybody’s cup of tea. I personally have struggled to like his DC films, but there’s no denying that this is a movie made by a visionary. It’s epic, eloquent and incredibly re-watchable, even if the filmmakers could have easily cut 30 minutes out of the third act to make it manageable in theaters. This is not a perfect film (it’s not particularly for kids either, being rated “R”), but it’s a really good film — a living, breathing graphic novel with history’s most famous comic book heroes. It is a completely different viewing experience than the boring theatrical cut and miles better. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” will grow a strong cult following in the coming years. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@ mtdemocrat.net.

Art contest seeks young invasive species detectives California Department Of Fish And Wildlife
T
he California Department of Fish and Wildlife announces the eighth annual California Invasive Species Youth Art Contest. This year’s theme, “Be An Invasive Species Detective,” encourages students to think about how paying attention to their surroundings can protect against the spread of invasive species. “Detectives look for clues and use observation to solve crimes,” said Elizabeth Brusati, an environmental scientist with CDFW’s Invasive Species Program. “We want young people to look for ways to stop the spread of invasive species. Helpful actions could include choosing native plants for landscaping, not releasing unwanted pets into the wild, reporting invasive species sightings and taking precautions to clean, drain and dry gear after visiting waterbodies.” The contest is offered by CDFW’s Invasive Species Program as part of California Invasive Species Action Week, June 5-13. There are three age divisions for youths in second through fourth grade, fifth through eighth grade and ninth through 12th grade. All types of media are welcome and encouraged, including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, animations, comic strips, videos and public service announcements. Entries should reflect the 2021 theme: “Be An Invasive Species Detective.” The top three winners in each division will receive awards and have their entries announced on CDFW’s Facebook page.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by CHERIE S. JACKSON in the Superior Court of California, County of EL DORADO. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that CHERIE S. JACKSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the 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: 05/05/21 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. 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner COLIN T. SMITH - SBN 249402, LAW OFFICE OF COLIN T.

5139, amending Urgency Ordinance 5126 to extend the term to be effective until rescinded by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors or December 31, 2021, whichever occurs first. Urgency Ordinance 5126 adopted amendments to the County’s Zoning Ordinance to temporarily ease restrictions on outdoor dining and outdoor retails areas, and implemented a County of El Dorado Temporary Outdoor Dining and Retail Sales Program. This Urgency Ordinance extends the Temporary Outdoor Dining and Retail Sales Program adopted in Ordinance 5126, but does not make changes to it. In an effort to lessen the adverse economic impacts as a result of COVID-19, this extension of the Zoning Ordinance amendments allows County businesses to continue to operate in a safe manner while preserving the health and safety of County residents. The Urgency Ordinance took effect immediately pursuant to Government Code sections 25123(d) and 25131. A full and complete copy of the full text of this Urgency Ordinance 5139 is available for viewing in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at 330 Fair Lane, Placerville, California. 3/26 8816 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS #03-2021 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES - TO THE GEORGETOWN DIVIDE RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT CLOSING DATE: Proposals must be received by April 9, 2021 by 4:00 p.m. PROJECT TITLE: “Georgetown Fuel Reduction Project L20AC00468” CONTACT PERSON: Mark Egbert District Manager Georgetown Divide Resource Conservation District 100 Forni Road, Suite A Placerville, CA 95667 Mark.Egbert@ca.usda.gov (p) 530-295-0120 (Direct) 530-303-5328 (cell) 530-957-3472 The Georgetown Divide Resource Conservation District (RCD) is soliciting proposals from qualified Environmental Consulting Firms to provide services described in the Request for Proposal (RFP) which can be accessed at www. georgetowndividercd.org.

Hikers can roam the multitude of trails that sit alongside the American River Canyon near Colfax, which are ideal for bloom-seeking. Stevens Trail offers breathtaking views of waterfalls and wildflowers, which are sure to catch the gaze of travelers with their vibrant colors, from peaches and oranges and deep blues and reds. This remote trail, which is one of the most popular hiking and biking trails in the entire county, extends over 4 miles worth of wildflowers and ends at the rushing North Fork of the American River. If in desire of a challenge, The Windy Point Trail weaves through hills covered in blue, yellow, purple and gold flowers that stand out amidst the blue skies. Known for its access to the stunning California Poppies, which is the official state flower of California, this 2-mile trail boasts more than 100 species of wildflowers and low crowds for optimal, socially-distanced enjoyment. For those looking for a gentle family-friendly outing in the fresh air, head to the Canyon View Preserve in Auburn, managed by Placer Land Trust. This 1.5 mile loop offers beautiful views from the rim of the American River Canyon and an impressive collection of wildflowers in the spring. Interpretive signs feature highlights along the way and benches and picnic tables make for a great picnic. Hidden Falls Regional Park, located in the beautiful oak woodlands near Auburn, offers 30 miles of multiple-use trails for hiking, running, biking and equestrian riding with two observation decks to view the waterfalls. Advance parking reservations are required on weekends and holidays, so plan ahead during peak times.
An out-of-the-box adventurist’s paradise In Placer County, no adventure is off limits. Whether preferring traversing through enchanting local wine and beer experiences or a more extreme level of sport, the county welcomes adventurists of any interest to enjoy what the region has to offer. For people looking for authentic imbibing experiences, look no further than to Placer County. The county has what may be the most vibrant and local county road in the country, known as the Wise Road in Lincoln. Wise Road is the spine of the Placer Wine and Ale Trail. Here, visitors will taste some of the region’s finest wines and sample amazing ales at family-owned farm breweries, all while enjoying amazing vistas and incredible
landscapes along Wise Road. Keep venturing along the Placer Wine and Ale Trail – visitors can pick a wine or beer experience, or both — and taste craft drinks from up to 20 refreshing hyper-local wineries, 12 award-winning breweries and dozens of tap rooms and wine bars. Extreme sports are an attractive draw to many adventure travelers and Placer County is the ideal location to partake in such intense sporting pursuits. The county is home to some of the most diverse and accessible rock-climbing terrain in the entire state. Seasoned climbers flock to Donner Summit, which features all three major climbing disciplines (trad, sport and bouldering) with routes for all experience levels. With easy freeway access and Lake Tahoe (another climbing mecca) a short drive away, Donner Summit and its breathtaking vistas and mountain scenery is the ultimate destination spot for entry-level climbing families or seasoned veterans. Quarry Park Adventures in Rocklin, located within a 160-year-old former rock quarry, offers exhilarating adventure from zip line to climbing walls, adventure course, a via ferrata and more. This family-friendly park offers an introduction to rock climbing and other adventures for all ages. Water sports enthusiasts can upgrade their favorite river and lake activities by taking them to Placer County’s rapid whitewaters. Three forks of the American River offer diverse white water rafting for various experience levels and a variety of river terrain, from the South Fork to the more advanced North Fork of the American River, offering exhilarating challenges for the mild to the extreme rafter. Many rafting outfitters in the region, such as All Outdoors Whitewater Rafting and Whitewater Excitement, can guide visitors through a half-day mild float to a multi-day extreme river adventure. Visit Placer, the destination marketing arm of Placer County, urges all visitors to observe the following safety protocols: Wear face coverings in public spaces at all times. Maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet from other individuals. Wash and sanitize your hands frequently. An interactive map on the website has been provided to learn more about enjoying “Life at its Peak.” Visit Placer invites travelers to visit, discover and savor the county responsibly.
