Pollock Pines bear found with neurological disorder Democrat staff Young bears around the state are showing symptoms of brain inflammation causing the wild animals to display “dog-like” behavior. California Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists say they identified one such bear in Pollock Pines last month. Pollock Pines residents reported to CDFW the bear showed up at a utility workspace and was ignoring attempts to shoo it away. Soon after the bear moved into a residential backyard showing no fear of people. Residents began feeding the

“The more we investigate, the more confounding it becomes.” — Peter Tira, California Department of Fish and Wildlife bear and admitted they had become attached. The bear also reportedly jumped into a housekeeper’s open car trunk and, contrary to CDFW guidance, people said they approached and petted the bear. When a CDFW wildlife biologist and warden went to investigate, they found a bear too young to be “out on its own, dog-like in its behavior, completely comfortable
around people and picking up an apple to eat in front of them on the backyard patio,” states a post to CDFW’s Bear Naked Truth blog. Physically and mentally biologists said the bear just didn’t seem quite right, walking oddly, dull and not responsive. The bear was taken to CDFW’s Wildlife Investigations Laboratory in n

Key Club sprouts plan for community garden Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
G
eorge F. Duffey Park in Placerville will be the home of a new community garden aimed at offering apartment residents a chance to cultivate their own fruits and vegetables. At the March 23 Placerville City Council meeting Director of Community Services Terry Zeller brought forth a recommendation to approve the construction of a garden at the south edge of Duffey Park. The garden would be funded by the Key Club of El Dorado High School and city staff would assist in the preparation of the site and alteration of irrigation systems. Tenants of nearby Cottonwood Park Apartments and the Cottonwood Senior Apartments will be offered space in the garden. Being next to apartment buildings worked out perfectly for the Key Club goal to create a viable opportunity for those who do not have yards to cultivate their own healthy foods. “We were looking for a project to reach out to the community and we realized that there weren’t really any Mountain Democrat photo by Andrew Vonderschmitt community gardens in Placerville,” said Placerville Director of Community Services Terry Zeller, Community Garden Committee Chair Aubrey Bonham, Key Club President Jayce Kaldunski Aubrey Bonham, 14, a freshman at El and Kiwanis Key Club advisor Sophie Cabrera, from left, are ready to get to work building a community garden at Duffey Park in Placerville. n See Garden, page A7
New facility to keep recycling, green waste services local Jana Rossi Staff writer Cameron Park residents will soon have a new, more secure place to drop off their recyclables. El Dorado Disposal, a Waste Connections company, is moving its Palmer Drive buy-back center to a new site on Saratoga Lane in Shingle Springs. The new location will offer California redemption value for aluminum cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles as well as self-serve bins for electronics, cardboard and paper drop off. As an added perk, residents will also be able to drop off green waste at the site instead of having to haul it down the hill. The new center will open as soon as permits from the state are received. “I am really excited to offer our residents a larger, more secure facility for their buy back and recycling needs,” said Cameron Park Community Services
District Director Monique Scobey. “I am thrilled this facility will include green waste and that residents do not have to go to El Dorado Hills and can stay local.” That sentiment was echoed by Cameron Park resident and county Environmental Management Director Greg Stanton. “It’s a great opportunity for our residents to not have to go to El Dorado Hills.” CSD Director Ellie Wooten called the new location “a great improvement,” referencing challenges at the Palmer Drive facility, where people have been know to illegally dump items and scavenge the site. The new buy-back center is located at 3371 Saratoga Lane (behind Big-O Tires) and will be secured. Service hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Green Waste drop-off may require residency identification. For more information about services visit eldoradodisposal.com.

A helicopter crew with California Highway Patrol’s Valley Division hoists an injured man out of a remote area of the American River Canyon Monday morning.
Man plucked out of river canyon Thomas Frey Staff writer A man was hoisted by helicopter out of a remote canyon on the South Fork of the American River near Peavine Ridge east of Pollock Pines Monday after he was reportedly swept down stream. It was a challenging location for rescuers to get to, said Tim Cordero, fire chief for the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. “Crews had to hike in to get to the patient,” Cordero said. “There’s no road access where we could drive fire engines or ambulances down.” The man reportedly suffered major medical complications. Crews hiked in with medical rescue gear and located the man lying along the bank of the river. Three rescue swimmers then swam across the river to make contact. “From there they determined the best way to get the patient out was to utilize a hoist with a California Highway Patrol helicopter,” Cordero said. Once safely inside the helicopter the man was transported to meet up with a CALSTAR 3 air ambulance that flew him to a Sacramento area hospital. “There’s spots all over the river that are dangerous,” Cordero said. “People always need to be aware of changing conditions.”

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — South Lake Tahoe authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect who robbed a bank Thursday afternoon. Police responded at 2:30 p.m. Thursday to a robbery at the Wells Fargo on Emerald Bay Road at the “Y” in South Lake Tahoe. A press release states the suspect approached the teller and said he had a gun. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male about 5-feet-11 with short brown hair. He was wearing a dark-colored, zip-up hooded jacket or sweatshirt, a two-toned trucker hat and a dark green gaiter mask. The suspect fled from the scene on a BMX style bike, traveling southeast through the Raley’s parking lot. Anyone with information connected to the incident is asked to call the South Lake Tahoe Police Department at (530) 542-6100 and reference case No. 2103-0047.

A young black bear displaying neurological abnormalities, including a prominent head tilt, undergoes a CT scan at UC Davis in 2019. The bear became something of a social media sensation for approaching people at the Northstar California Resort before being treated by California Department of Fish and Wildlife and placed with a wildlife facility in San Diego, where the bear has required ongoing veterinary care.
Most parents know to avoid giving their children drinks like soda because of their extremely high sugar content, but even sugar-free sodas contain enough acid to eat away at the enamel on their teeth and cause cavities. Replacing powdered and other artificial juices with 100 percent real fruit juice seems like a good idea, but even those have copious amounts of sugar and natural sugar is also bad for oral health. In most cases, the best drink you can give your child is simple tap water because it usually contains fluoride. Milk is also a tooth-healthy drink because it helps strengthen enamel. Black and green teas come in a wide
variety of flavors and also fight bacteria in the mouth. We believe you and your family deserve the highest quality dental services available today, and we are committed to providing just that. From sound advice on dietary habits to all-encompassing, high-tech dental care from a rigorously trained compassionate staff, you’ll know you’re in the right place the moment you walk through our doors. P.S. Getting children to switch to tooth-friendly beverages can be difficult, so weening them off the sugar with drinks like chocolate milk and flavored seltzers may help ease the process.

Rancho Cordova for observation and evaluation by veterinarians. Covered in ticks, the yearling female was undersized and underweight for its age at a mere 21 pounds. A similarly aged bear should weigh closer to 80 pounds. In captivity biologists reported they observed the bear displaying intermittent head tremors and a subtle head tilt — troubling signs of neurological abnormalities. A week of observation and testing confirmed neurologic and behavioral deficits and the bear was euthanized. A postmortem examination is under way. Preliminary findings have confirmed encephalitis or inflammation of the brain, which would make it the third bear with neurological disorders due to encephalitis to pass through CDFW’s Wildlife Investigations Laboratory within the past 12 months. A fourth bear showing signs of neurological abnormalities, this one from Humboldt County, has since been euthanized and encephalitis confirmed in that case as well. Encephalitis can only be accurately determined with a necropsy after the bear has been euthanized. “Any time a wild animal comes into our care, the best-possible outcome is a release back to the wild,” explained CDFW wildlife veterinarian Brandon Munk. “That’s just not possible for these

neurologically impaired bears. At this point, we don’t know what causes the encephalitis so we don’t know what, if any, health risks these bears might pose to other animals.” In 2019 a young bear at Northstar California Resort in Truckee was found fearlessly approaching visitors and even stepped on a snowboard and curiously sniffed the snowboarder who was filming it on social media. The bear, who had a prominent head tilt, was very friendly toward people and after being picked up by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, was sent in for CT scans for neurological abnormalities. The bear, named Benji, now resides and is being treated at the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Campus. Ann Bryant of the Bear League, which is based in Homewood, said about five years ago she found a few bears with similar abnormal characteristics to Benji. She remembers one bear that walked right up to a construction site and was approaching workers being curiously friendly, like a dog would, and was strangely almost afraid of food. This bear also had a prominent head tilt and vacant stare and was just not all there, said Bryant. Wildlife biologists in California and Nevada first encountered this phenomenon in 2014 and alerted wildlife colleagues.
“What brought this current condition to light is a pattern,” said Jamie Sherman, a veterinarian at UC Davis’ One Health Institute who has studied black bear diseases. This pattern is prompting the next steps of research and Sherman said encephalitis is causing the neurological abnormalities but the root cause is still unknown. “The more we investigate, the more confounding it becomes,” said CDFW public information officer Peter Tira. “This presents multiple challenges; we are very concerned.” During CDFW’s early research biologists found five unidentified viruses but don’t know if there is a relationship to the encephalitis. This time of year yearlings are coming out of hibernation. These yearlings are also very friendly and approach people as they cope with separating from their mothers. “That behavior is normal for yearlings and dispersing juveniles,” Bryant said. Bryant said those with a trained eye can know the difference from a friendly yearling and a bear with encephalitis. She said over the last 25 years the Bear League has been getting calls about normal, healthy yearlings who are naturally friendly. While research is still being conducted Bryant theorizes the disease could be from ticks.

California Matters
Is California driving away business?
I
s California killing the golden goose with taxes and regulations that drive businesses and their jobs to more hospitable states? That question has been debated for years without a definitive answer, flaring up whenever there’s a highDAN WALTERS profile move out of the state. With the recent relocation of several well-known firms to Texas, along with one famous billionaire, Tesla’s Elon Musk, the question once again reverberates in political circles. Musk first threatened to shift locales last year after his manufacturing facility in the Bay Area was hit with a pandemic shutdown order. “Frankly, this is the final straw,” he tweeted last May. “Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately.” “F*ck Elon Musk,” Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, tweeted in response. Gonzalez, a San Diego Democrat and the Legislature’s most outspoken proponent of unionization, later added, “California has highly subsidized a company that has always disregarded worker safety and well-being, has engaged in union busting and bullies public servants. I probably could’ve expressed my frustration in a less aggressive way. Of course, no one would’ve cared if I tweeted that.” In December Musk announced his personal move to Texas and his plans to expand activities in that state. The Center for Jobs and the Economy, an arm of the California Business Roundtable, recently offered new grist for the debate by launching “CaliFormers,” a running list of companies that have relocated from California or expanded operations elsewhere. “California policies have created the highest in the nation cost-of-living and strictest in the nation regulatory costs which have caused jobs in key sectors such as manufacturing to start-up, scale or relocate in other lower-cost states, sometimes just across the border from California,” the CaliFormers announcement declares. “As we look to the future of our post-pandemic economy,” it adds, “the shift of the tech industry and the movement of its executives and investors will significantly impact the stability and solvency of our general fund since the state’s progressive tax structure relies heavily on taxes paid by California’s highest earners.” CaliFormers arrives on the scene not only as the perpetual debate heats up again but as the Legislature considers a new spate of bills that would impose additional costs on business and/or levy new taxes on business or wealthy individuals such as Musk. CaliFormers gives the perpetual debate a factual underpinning, but it also falls short of a muchneeded comprehensive analysis of the issue. Jerry ■

Letters to the Editor Standing by our name EDITOR: s background, the Hangtown Marshals is a historical reenactment group dedicated to the preservation of the Old West and to gun safety. In 1989 the marshals began making regular appearances on Main Street, Placerville in order to interact with the community and visitors to the area. I’m addressing the word “Hangtown” in Placerville’s logo and signage. Prior to its statehood, California was wild, lawless and dangerous. Then, in 1848, bandits were stealing gold from miners in the Placerville area but it came to pass that law and order finally prevailed. The culprits were caught and hanged. The city was named Hangtown as a badge of honor, an indication that the town, and coincidentally the state, was becoming somewhat tamed, partially due to the swift justice in dealing with criminals. Please don’t delete the word Hangtown from this proud city’s history. The Hangtown Marshals and our name will continue to proudly stand as representatives of the brave lawmen who brought peace, justice, law and statehood to California.

PG&E shutoffs and risks EDITOR: udge Alsup’s reasoning for doubling the number of PSPS power outages centers on his opinion that he is forced to make a “Hobson’s choice,” according to court records. But by that reasoning, he is committing the same error Jerry Brown’s administration and Gavin Newsom’s administration have done — framing the situation, in the words of Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, as an “existential threat.” Framing risks as “existential threats” allows decision-makers to avoid addressing the fundamentals of risk management. Instead, they leap to the ultimate conclusion in their logic and make binary decisions to “turn on and turn off ” California’s economy and infrastructure. (Incidentally, the same reasoning was used to manage COVID-19 risks — an interesting parallel). Indeed, Alsup is a federal judge, and our
J
leadership is at a state level, but these selfreinforcing decisions eliminate obvious risk management analysis and other threat vectors. Ignoring the other threat vectors to public safety and our local economy can, in fact, have paradoxical effects. Consider the risks and hazards of hundreds of homes operating portable or home generators and potential fire hazards or electrical hazards. Consider the economic threats of communities, like Placerville, attempting to recover from COVID shutdowns and then coping with even more PSPS outages and the impact to restaurants and stores. And, of course, senior citizens and residents with a lack of mobility or funding to purchase a generator (or the ability to operate one safely) are a risk. It would seem, even on casual inspection, that increased PSPS outages would multiply these other risks and potentially outweigh the concept Judge Alsup is considering and promoting. In terms of public leadership decision making, these binary decisions based on “existential threats” are taking California residents down a dangerous path. The dangerous path centers on our public leader’s desire to ensure safety at all cost by trying to eliminate all risks. It would be hard to imagine achieving any great 20th century accomplishment — like landing on the moon — by hyper-focusing on existential safety controls. MATT SILVEIRA Placerville
Take a bow, Joe EDITOR: oe, at your March press conference you said you’d “like to think all these immigrants are coming because they think you’re a nice guy.” Don’t get me wrong, I support legal immigration. I do wonder, however, when our progeny have to deal with the results of this onslaught/invasion if you’d still be gloating with pride? My second thought: Have you no shame? It’s not legal to treat wayward animals in a pound like you are piling these humans in stadiums and barracks, to sleep on mats with aluminum trauma blankets. So much for token humanitarianism, but it does suit your real mission. EILEEN DEAN Placerville

Then church attendance was banned or limited because of COVID-19 and I did not speak out — because I was not a Christian. Actually I did not speak out either when it was the beaches that were closed or limited. I just believed my Democrat Party leadership and my Democrat Party controlled news outlets when they told me to wear two masks and that it was good for me to lock myself up in my home for more than a year ... and I was so naïve. Then the 2020 presidential elections happened with hundreds of whistleblowers willing to perjure themselves testifying under oath that they witnessed massive cheating by the Democrat Party. Moreover, military intelligence documented that China had electronically switched millions of Trump votes to Biden giving him the presidency and I did not speak out — because it was only the Republicans who said this and my media always told me the Republicans, especially the nearly 75 million who voted for Trump, were all liars, racists and white supremacists and I believed them.
Then they censored a president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. and I did not speak out — because my media and party told me that he was a racist, sexist, xenophobic and a white supremacist and I still believed them. Then they censored everything negative against Joe Biden and I said nothing — because I believed my party and their media that we needed to stop disinformation. If only one side can express itself then there is only disinformation. Then they attacked the Constitution that would have prevented all the above from happening had we just followed it as written and I still said nothing — because my party and news sources said that it was a racist document founded by racist, white men to protect racism and I believed them. Now it is nearly destroyed and so is freedom and I am a slave to the state. All who did not submit are now in reeducation camps or have been removed for spreading disinformation.

Nickelsburg, who runs the Anderson Forecast, an economic research organization at UCLA, quickly criticized it for lacking context. “The list does not sort by year or normalize by u-rate or employment,” Nickelsburg tweeted. “It does not track moves to CA. (e.g if a company adds 200 jobs in CA and moves 100 to TX it appears on the table as a move of jobs to TX). So, a nice graphic, but not very useful as an analysis.” Nickelsburg makes a valid point. Obviously the issue is an important one. California depends on a vigorous private sector to provide jobs and indirectly provide revenues for the services that Gonzalez and
Pease
other politicians want to expand. In fact, those onepercenters at the very top of the income ladder, such as Musk, are paying half of the state’s income taxes. It’s so important that it deserves far more serious analysis. Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature have immense research capabilities at their command and should order up a comprehensive and independent examination of whether California is becoming toxic to vital business activity. It’s time to settle the argument once and for all.

Oak Ridge locks down Del Oro Thomas Frey Staff writer Whenever the Oak Ridge High School Trojans needed a big play on defense they didn’t just stop the Del Oro High School Golden Eagles, they sacked them for a huge loss. When the offense needed a big chunk of yardage the Trojans didn’t get just enough for the first down, they exceeded the down marker by several yards and had five plays in the game that were longer than 20 yards. “We just started to get our minds right and really thought about the goals we made and kind of just accomplished those as a team — and the more plays we made, the better we felt about ourselves and it just kept going,” said senior defensive end Elijah Hansen, who had three sacks and an interception at the goal line in Oak Ridge’s 34-14 victory over Del Oro Friday night in Loomis. The win improves the Trojans to 2-2 with two games to play — home games April 9 against Granite Bay and April 16 against Folsom. Coming off a 38-13 loss to Rocklin a week ago, the Trojan s scored quickly when junior running back Reese Catchings ran the ball into the end zone to give the Trojans a lead with 9:09 to play in the opening quarter. The Trojans scored again on their next drive when sophomore quarterback Drew Cowart hit junior Sean Dwyer in the end zone from 37 yards out, building the lead to 14-0 with 7:15 to play in the first. The Golden Eagles fought back and got on the board to cut the lead in half with 5:45 to play in the first half.

Oak Ridge High School senior wide receiver Brandon Barthel, right, fights for extra yards before being brought down by a Del Oro High School defender Friday night on Trojan turf. On the ensuing Trojans possession, Cowart faced a third down and 19 and he cooly passed the ball to junior Luke Armstrong, who picked up 32 yards to get to the 22-yard line. On the next play Catchings dashed to the right and sprinted down the sideline before getting taken out of bounds at the 1-yard line. “I took it slow in the beginning, let the offensive line get their guys and do their job and they just set it up perfectly for me,” Catchings said, “and the receivers, they just cracked the corner, brought him way inside and just made a giant lane on the sidelines for me. They really worked together and made it nice.” Catchings next capitalized and followed his line into the end zone for the second time in the evening giving the Trojans a 20-7 lead. “Reese is explosive; he’s a big play guy for
us,” said Oak Ridge head coach Eric Cavaliere. “When sees an opening, he’s going to accelerate and he had a couple big runs for touchdowns.” Del Oro had one final drive before halftime to try and put some more points up and Hansen recorded his first sack of the evening with one minute to play in the first half to keep the clock rolling. With one second left, the Golden Eagles had no choice but to attempt a field goal. Senior Brandon Barthel flew in like a blur after the ball was snapped and blocked the kick to send the Trojans into the locker room with a 13-point lead. After Del Oro got nothing on the opening drive of the third quarter, Catchings got into the end zone for a third time when he carried the ball 36 yards for the touchdown to put an exclamation point on the game. The defense played stout the entire game and the sack masters came out in the second
half. Senior Peyton Vota brought down the quarterback twice, one of which he also forced a fumble recovered by senior lineman Cole Fleming. Hansen recorded two more sacks, bringing his total to three for the day. He also had an interception at the goal line in the first half. “It’s just so nice to have Elijah back,” Cavaliere said. “He’s had this shoulder issue that’s kept him off the field. It’s just nice to have an athlete of his caliber back on the field. We thought he could have a big night tonight … and he did.” The Trojans capped off their scoring when Barthel caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Cowart, making it 34-14. “We’ve had a rough couple weeks,” Cavaliere said. “It was a week that really started off rough in practice and just to be able to generate some excitement and make some big plays, this team really needed this.”

The community garden is proposed for an area on the southeast edge of Placerville’s George F. Duffey Park.
Garden
Continued from A1
Dorado High School and chair of the Community Garden committee. “We thought it would be a good idea to have one here.” Key Club President Jayce Kaldunski, 15, a sophomore at El Dorado High School, was on hand to make a short introduction and answer council questions about the proposal. “The first place that came to mind was Duffey Park because our club has a connection to the park,” said Kaldunski about the location. He went on to explain that the club had installed the existing bike rack and that Kiwanis, the Key Club’s sponsor, actually built the play structures in the park back in 2013. Public comment was largely in favor of the concept. Concerns regarding insurance and irrigation costs were brought up by some residents. Finance Director Dave Warren said it is unclear what the cost of irrigation would be and compared it to the costs of the irrigation of the existing shrubbery. Zeller reiterated that expected costs would be absorbed into the existing Duffey Park maintenance budget. City Manager Cleve Morris said a hold harmless agreement will be in place and that working with the city attorney, staff would be able to address liability concerns. Regarding questions about not charging use fees Kaldunski mentioned that the Key Club did not want “any financial reasoning to stop someone from taking advantage of this garden and growing nutritious
foods.” “The El Dorado High School Key Club will be maintaining a garden bed for people who may be food insecure and in need of produce,” said Kaldunski in response to a question of possible theft and vandalism. “Instead of going in and stealing from someone’s bed they (will) have access to produce and can take from there.” Regulations for using the garden beds will include keeping garden plots neat and tidy, weeding, not adversely affecting neighboring plots and making use of the plot(s). If a plot is not utilized in a timely fashion it might be awarded to another applicant. The next steps include creating agreements for those who will make use of the gardens and starting the fundraising process. Fundraisers with local businesses and grant proposals are among the efforts in the works. Zeller said he is working closely with Key Club members to create a concept of the garden, which will include fencing, a tool shed with tools, benches, a potting area and up to 10 raised garden beds. Once the concept is complete Key Club members will be able to create a fundraising budget. A motion was proposed by council member Patty Borelli to approve the recommendation, adding a one-year report back to the council from the time that the garden is first in use. The motion passed 5-0.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You already know what you want. Now the focus is on figuring out what other people want. In many situations, it’s implied. But when it’s not, you discover just the thing and include it in your deal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Self-doubt isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, it can be quite useful and is often the mature stance to take. Some actions warrant doubt. A good question to apply: “Who else is this helping?” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a type of trust given out of gullibility, inexperience and weakness. Then there’s the trust that comes with clear, wide-open eyes. To know the risks and still invest in another person is trust born of strength. CANCER (June 22-July 22). So many systems and group cultures downgrade the relevance of integrity. You reject the notion and seek others who are on a moral pursuit, the likes of which will never be outdated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Memory is imperfect. Perception even more so. This is why even though you know where you came from, parts of your personal history still seem mysterious to you. Today, a blank will get filled in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You set out to show someone how to accomplish a certain aim but what occurs instead is an unfolding of discovery that you embark on together, teacher and student learning just as much as the other.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you keep your feelings undercover, it’s for a variety of reasons, like to avoid giving away your position or inspiring jealousy. When you show your feelings today, it’s for one reason -- you can’t help it! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What do competition, pressure, wealth, anger, power, passion and desperation all have in common? They are all states that teach a person what they are capable of. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the people you love are happy, so are you. Their quests and concerns are your own. The lines get blurry and in some spots are nonexistent. There’s no shame in drawing them anew though. Sometimes, it’s necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Avoiding problems is the name of the game in dodgeball. But in life, it works better when you go on the offensive, meeting the problems with all you’ve got, essentially catching the balls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mercy is a better approach than hard justice, not because it’s the moral thing to do but because rehabilitation and improved action is more likely to follow. The soft song of better angels is easy for everyone to sing along to. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You make way for a positive day. At first, it takes no effort at all. Nothing to clear, just start doing you. Then people, media and circumstances challenge you. Employ the fine art of ignoring that which doesn’t fit your positive premise.

Cody Curtis with Flying V Farm grafts El Dorado pear scionwood to rootstock.
Pear-fect pairing Flying V Farm connects with the past through the rare El Dorado pear Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
T
he El Dorado pear, which was discovered in 1931 by Robert Patterson on a fencerow between orchards of Bartlett/Williams and Winter Nelis pears (“Book of Pears,” Joan Morgan), is being reintroduced to the El Dorado County agricultural community. El Dorado County was once a leading pear-producing region until pear blight changed everything. A combination of Pear Decline Disease and fire blight decimated the pear industry and after 1958 fewer pears were produced in the county. (University of California Small Farms case study, El Dorado) A chance seedling, which apparently occurred when a Bartlett pear tree was pollinated by the same bee that pollinated a Winter Nelis pear tree, grew between two orchards. It turned out to be not only delicious but also blight resistant. The tree continued to be grown by backyard enthusiasts until J.A. Winklman of Medford, Ore., began to propagate it in 1948 (“Book of Pears”). It was planted commercially in 1963 and expectations were that it would become widely grown. It ultimately failed partly due to the relative popularity of the Bartlett pear and partly due to the El Dorado pear’s delicate nature that makes it hard to ship.

Cody Curtis and Lucy O’Dea examine the graft line on an apple tree about to be planted in the freshly excavated orchard at Flying V Farm. Joining apple trees will be the historical El Dorado pear. Below, O’Dead holds the line as Curtis measures out the distance between orchard rows. Since it was not commercially grown with much success this pear continues to be very rare. Cody Curtis of the cooperative Flying V Farm said only a handful of area farmers grow the pear but the El Dorado pear scionwood is available through the United States Department of Agriculture’s germplasm repository. Scionwood is a cutting from a mature tree that can be grafted to a plant stem
with a well-developed root system, known as a rootstock, in order to plant the variety in question. When Curtis learned about the pear he wanted to reintroduce it to the 60-acre Flying V farm in Placerville. “We’re really interested in the El Dorado pear because it’s fire blight resistant so you can grow it without spraying and, of course, it’s very delicious.” said n

Pioneer Trail offers an easy to moderate hike for those who want to spend a few hours or a whole day immersed in nature.
Day hiker Pioneer Trail
P
rimarily a mountain bike single track, Pioneer Trail above Nevada City in Nevada County is more than 10 miles of multi-use trail. After a recent snow storm I parked just below Harmony Ridge Market on Highway Mary West 20, five miles north of Outdoor columnist Nevada City, and headed out on the trail. Regular thinning of the trees has made for nice open terrain. With fewer trees and very little underbrush, the sunlight streams through the canopy. A few thickets of blackberry mixed in small fir trees provide shelter for birds. The variety of bird songs was enough to give me pause to enjoy the chorus before continuing. The trail runs mostly parallel to Highway 20. Mild elevation changes make this an easy to moderate path. This trail is a nice change of pace anytime of year. In winter deep puddles mean wet feet or wide walk-arounds. Beyond the 10-mile point of the signed trail is Upper Pioneer Trail. You could follow this out to Skillman Campground or even Washington Ridge, Rock Creek Nature Trail and 23 miles up to Bowman Lake Road. The full, 23-mile length of the trail may not be your idea of a day hike so consider enjoying different entry points off Highway 20. You don’t have to venture far to find the plaque dedicated to the trail near the bridge. Start at the Bowman Lake exit of Highway 20. We did this section of the hike in spring and the open meadow with wildflowers were truly high points of the hike. The access is right off the roadside.
Pioneer Trail in Nevada County also offers stunning river views as well as wide open meadows, below. Mary West is author of the book series “Day Hiker – Gold Country Trail Guide I, II and III” (Available on Amazon). The books are a collection of the Day Hiker columns, in which West shares her longtime love of the outdoors, favorite hikes in Northern California’s

3Strands is on a mission to expand its message Jana Rossi Staff writer
“A
world free from human trafficking” is the vision of 3Strands Global Foundation. The foundation reported that California had a reported 1,500 cases of human trafficking in 2019; nationally, there were more than 118,000 victims. 3Strands began its journey of education 11 years ago in El Dorado, Sacramento and San Francisco counties after a trafficking incident that began with the kidnapping of an El Dorado Hills teen. Now the organization’s leaders push to put their message on the national stage — thus far educating people in
Texas, Utah, Ohio, Michigan and Georgia. Funding and parent involvement determines what areas they are able to reach. Anyone can be a trafficker and anyone can be a victim in this $150 billion industry, according to 3Strands President and CEO Ashlie Bryant. “Trafficking hides in plain sight,” Bryant said. 3Strands Global Foundation works with schools through its PROTECT program. California was the first state to mandate human trafficking education through Assembly Bill 1227. Prevention education is taught to teachers who in turn teach the curriculum to their students. Topics include how to spot human traffickers and identifying signs of what to look for to protect at-risk youth from exploitation. (Are they tense, fearful? Is there a presence of or reference to an older boyfriend or girlfriend? Are they suddenly
in possession of expensive material items? Do they have an unusual new tattoo, a second cell phone?) Anyone who thinks someone might be a humantrafficking victim is cautioned not to step in if any of these signs are recognized, Bryant said, but to call the authorities. Who is at risk? The majority of times a victim deemed more vulnerable has a higher risk of being approached. A person who doesn’t have enough food to eat or a place to call home; one who doesn’t feel accepted, safe or loved are all opportunities traffickers use to gain that person’s trust, according to information provided by 3Strands. In another effort to bring awareness to this global problem, this March Apex Site Solutions and n

Grow for it! Those pesky aphids
A
phids are common pests in California. These small, soft, pearshaped insects have long legs and antennae and can be almost any color, depending on their particular species and the plants they eat. Most aphids have a pair of long, tubelike cornicles projecting from the end of their bodies, which distinguishes them from all other insects. Aphids feed by using their long, thin mouthparts to pierce the tender parts of plants and suck out the fluids. Most aphids are wingless, but most species also have winged forms so aphids can relocate when their populations become too large or their food source is threatened. Our mild climate allows many aphid species to reproduce throughout the year. In most species, adult females give birth to “nymphs,” which develop into reproducing adults in about a week. Adult aphids can produce up to 80 nymphs in a few days, so aphid populations quickly increase. Some aphid species can even survive the cold by laying eggs on perennials that retain their leaves through the winter. Large aphid populations can cause a lot of harm: Leaves turn yellow, shoots become stunted and the aphids exude a sticky “honeydew,” which encourages the growth of sooty mold fungus. Aphids transmit viruses from one plant to another. Some aphid species inject a toxin into plants, causing leaf curl and plant distortion; other species cause abnormal growths on leaves and branches. Most damage usually occurs in late spring, when temperatures are between 65°and 80°F. Check your plants for aphids at least twice a week; once an aphid infestation occurs it is difficult to remove. Examine the undersides of leaves, a location that aphids prefer. Hose the aphids off in the morning so plants have time to dry and be less susceptible to fungal disease. Prune out and dispose of aphid-ridden branches immediately. Check for natural enemies that control aphids such as lady beetles or lacewings. If these are present, there may be little need for additional treatment. Aphid populations often decrease as temperatures rise and most plants can tolerate some aphids without experiencing permanent damage.
Laurel Rady UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County Commercially available lady beetles may offer temporary assistance, though most fly away within a few days. Keep them refrigerated for a few hours after purchasing, mist them with water just before letting them go, place them at the base of infested plants and release them at dusk. Repeated applications and a large number of lady beetles are often required to achieve best results. Ants feed on aphid honeydew, tend the aphids and protect them from their natural enemies; a large ant presence is often an indicator of aphid infestation. You will need to control the ants if you want to eliminate the aphids. To prevent ants from reaching the aphids, wrap branches or trunks with sticky material like Tanglefoot and remove all other arrival routes by pruning branches that touch the ground, buildings and other plants. Many chemical insecticides are available ... and unnecessary in treating aphids. In addition, use of these products should be avoided because they kill the natural enemies of aphids as well as bees, they create environmental problems and aphids may develop a resistance to these chemicals if they are repeatedly applied. In most situations, the
best choice is a strong stream-spray of water from your hose, which knocks the insects off plants. There are insecticidal soaps and oils (such as neem oil) that are also safer to use in the vicinity of children and pets. Apply in the morning and saturate both the undersides and the tops of all leaves. Insecticidal soaps and oils leave no toxic residue; hence they kill only the aphids that are present at the time of spraying so multiple applications may be needed. As always, be sure to read all product labels carefully and follow instructions for proper operation, storage and disposal. What you use in your landscape affects the rivers and oceans. Non-chemical methods and less-toxic pesticide products are always best, whenever possible. What’s happening with Master Gardeners this weekend?

Tahoe’s Live Violence Free nonprofit supports arts while raising awareness Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Live Violence Free has launched two campaigns that not only raise awareness but also support local art. The local nonprofit aims to promote a nonviolent community, through education and advocacy to address domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and basic needs. Last year, LVF launched their #OneConversation campaign which gives people tools to help someone who might be in danger or is being abused. “The thought behind it is that one conversation can change a life,” said Stacey Ellison, community relations and outreach coordinator. The #OneConversation tab on the website has a series of quizzes about what to do in different scenarios so that a person can help in a more nuanced way. To raise awareness of the campaign and to support local students, LVF has launched the #OneConversation Scholarship Challenge. Students can submit a piece of

Part of the application process involves taking and passing all of the quizzes and become a #OneConversation champion. The

application and guidelines will be available on their website. For every $500 scholarship awarded, an additional $500 will be awarded to a qualified survivor or survivor’s child. “For the students, not only are they getting the scholarship but they are also giving back to the community,” Ellison said.
Plant Food
The first scholarship has been fully funded and the application will launch soon. Each time LVF reaches $1,000, they will launch another round of applications. The nonprofit is also holding a photographic calendar contest. Photographers can submit a photo that will be voted on by the general public. The top 18 photos will be included in an 18-month calendar. In addition to the photos, each month will feature an awareness blurb that corresponds with that month such as October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The calendar will be sold locally, as well as on Amazon. Voting and submissions for the contest will be live through April. Ellison said this will be an annual fundraiser and while this one is a 18-month calendar, they will be 12-month calendars in the future. Tahoe Beach Retreat is the primary sponsor of this year’s calendar but LVF is still looking for sponsors, as well as looking for scholarship donations.

LACER COUNTY — Spring has arrived in Placer County, an expansive and diverse 1,400-square-mile destination along Interstate 80 in Northern California. The county has been anticipating a safe return to tourism throughout the region and welcomes regional travelers in accordance with the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In an effort to promote responsible and safe travel amidst pandemic restrictions, outdoor and leisure activities are a focus. Springtime in Placer County means plentiful freshly-grown produce, especially stone fruit, which is abundant in the region; acres upon acres of wildflowers in bloom; and a myriad of unique spring activities, from wine walks to rock climbing treks.

Warm spring days and cool rainy nights make for an ideal climate for many agricultural crops to grow. As such, the springtime stone fruit bounty means an abundance of farmers’ markets full of locallygrown goods.

Legacy Telecommunications joined 3Strands Global Foundation to establish the Telecommunications Against Trafficking and Exploitation initiative to end human trafficking. The purpose is to educate individuals in the telecommunications industry so they can recognize the signs of human trafficking.
A way back Employ and Empower is 3Strands initiative that helps bring economic freedom to individuals transitioning into new lives, thereby lessening the likelihood that these human trafficking victims will fall back into the hands of predators or get back into bad habits. “Economic insecurity is one of the main vulnerabilities exploited by traffickers and is a primary reason survivors of human trafficking return to a life of victimization,” the 3Strands website states. 3Strands works with 55 agencies that help with employing these individuals. Locally, 46 at-risk and human-trafficking survivors have benefited from the E + E program. A local sponsor, the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills has assisted 21 survivors by funding reintegration services for these trafficked and at-risk individuals. More than 300 and counting have been assisted in the greater Sacramento region.
How to help This year the Break Free Run, 3Strands’ largest yearly event, will be held Friday, April 9, through Sunday April 11. Aptly named “FlexRun,” this event is open to everyone. Runners, walkers, bikers, swimmers, dancers and even couch potatoes will have three days to participate. Every dime from registration will be donated to 3SGF and benefits prevention education and reintegration programs. For more information about 3Strands Global Foundation and to register for the FlexRun visit 3strandsglobalfoundation.org To report someone being trafficked or someone suspected of trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.

Curtis. “We’re excited to grow this variety and to reconnect with our past.” It takes about one year from grafting to planting and another five years until the tree produces fruit, he explained. “The people of Placerville will be able to enjoy fruit from these trees in around six years.” Flying V is a cooperative effort and plans to gift several grafted trees to other local organic farms, retaining 10 to 20 trees to plant in their orchard. Lucy O’Dea, partner at Flying V, took a moment from planting new apple trees to point out the
100-year-old original planting Bartlett pear trees that remain in the orchard from the earlier owners of the land. They will stand sentinel in the orchard flanked by new apple trees, pear trees and, yes, the El Dorado pear that will be ripening at Flying V Farm in 2027. Reconnecting to the past with this rare variety overseen by these century-old trees is a fitting way to move ahead for these new-generation farmers. Flying V sells to local food coops and farms so keep on the lookout for El Dorado pears coming to shelve in the not-to-distant future.

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 enjoyment. For those looking for a gentle familyfriendly outing in the fresh air, head to the Canyon View Preserve in Auburn, managed by Placer Land Trust. This 1.5mile 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.

An out-of-the-box adventurist’s paradise In Placer County, no adventure is off limits. Whether you prefer traversing through 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 — indisputably the most robust trail of its kind in Northern California. 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 awardwinning 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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

Trustor: Denise A Ford, Glen Michael Ford Duly Appointed Trustee: National Default Servicing Corporation Recorded 03/31/2008 as Instrument No. 2008-0014699-00 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of El Dorado County, CA. Date of Sale: 04/29/2021 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Main Street Entrance to the County Courthouse, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA. 95667 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $86,307.75 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 451 Sunlight Dr Diamond Springs, CA 95619 A.P.N.: 331-463-002-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 20-20095-SP-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.

back. Daffodils and crocuses are putting on their annual show in the Sierra foothills. Any day, the California poppies will begin their show that will last through the summer. With nearly a third of California’s population now vaccinated (at the time of this writing) and with the hope of society attaining herd immunity, art galleries and museums are cautiously opening once again to the public.
