EDH Fire bows out of Rescue annexation Noel Stack Managing editor The El Dorado Hills and Rescue fire departments have called it quits. Monday the EDH Fire Board, based on the recommendation of EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson, voted to terminate the two fire districts’ shared services agreement (effective in 30 days) and rescind the letter of intent regarding annexation sent last November to the El Dorado

Local Agency Formation Commission. The board directed Chief Johnson to work with the Rescue Fire Protection District Board of Directors on a transition plan. Since 2013 the two fire departments have had a shared services agreement in place, combining a fire chief and administrative staff as well as having firefighters train together — all at a cost of $75,000/year to Rescue. In late-summer 2019 the agencies’ fire boards voted

to explore annexation, a process that has now come to an abrupt halt. Public signs of a fracture became evident when the RFPD board held a special meeting March 30 to discuss the shared services agreement and the agenda noted a closed session item announcing a “public employee appointment discussion concerning (the) fire chief position.” Nothing was reported out of that closed session. “They want to focus on

“They want to focus on their identity and we’re ready to focus on El Dorado Hills.” — Maurice Johnson, El Dorado Hills fire chief their identity and we’re ready to focus on El Dorado Hills,” Johnson told the Mountain Democrat, insisting the sudden split is amicable. “There’s no rock throwing … no hard feelings. We want to help them find their happiness and move forward.” The RFPD Board of Directors’ next scheduled

meeting is April 13, when that board is expected to also terminate the shared services agreement. Over the next month Chief Johnson said he will meet with Rescue Fire Board Chair Matt Koht to work out details of the separation. The Mountain Democrat n

Fire chiefs: Shared services a win-win Krysten Kellum Editor When El Dorado County’s firefighting leaders took a closer look at two fire stations just over a mile from each other they saw an opportunity to better use resources. It’s been more than a year since the six firefighters from El Dorado County Fire Protection District’s Station 21 in Camino were reassigned to stations in Pleasant Valley and Pollock Pines, bringing engine staffing up to a minimum of three fire personnel and aligning with the model already in place in Placerville and Shingle Springs. Just down the road from Station 21 is Cal Fire’s Station 20 at Mt. Danaher, where one Cal Fire engine crew is stationed year-round and two during peak fire station. Cal Fire Assistant Chief Erich Schwab and El Dorado County Fire Protection District Chief Tim Cordero said a three-year agreement, which involved county fire funds going toward keeping seasonal staff at Cal Fire Station 43 in El Dorado all year, has meant more coverage and shorter response times — all at less cost to taxpayers. Because the Cal Fire engine crew stationed at Mt. Danaher is already under a state contract, county fire agreed the additional engine and staff would be stationed in El Dorado. The “closest resource” agreement all fire agencies on the West Slope operate under means no matter the jurisdiction, resources are dispatched to medical aids, vehicle collisions, fires and other emergencies within Camino and beyond to ensure maximum n

Piles of burned trees, mostly pines and firs, are marked for timber sales along Silver Fork Road in the Eldorado National Forest.

Caldor Fire timber sales part of restoration effort Krysten Kellum Editor Countless trees burned across the 220,000-plus-acre Caldor Fire have been cut down and stacked high in the Eldorado National Forest.

Daniel Smith, part of the team leading the Caldor Fire recovery effort for the Eldorado National Forest, said the first focus is to sell the timber to sawmills. Approximately 170,000 tons of timber from the Caldor Fire burn area have been sold so far, Smith

said. Sales to sawmills provide the greatest value, which in turn brings more funding for restoration work, but there is an oversupply of logs due to the increased number and n

Eminent domain negotiations continue Eric Jaramishian Staff writer

The county is in negotiation with 3551 Garden Rose Road property owner James Teter to acquire the land for construction of the proposed Diamond Springs Parkway, a four-lane connector between Highway 49 and Missouri Flat Road.

James Rose Ramos April 5, 1936 – Oct. 21, 2021

James Rose Ramos, a beacon of El Dorado County and California, went to be with the Lord Oct. 21 peacefully with his wife and son by his side. He was born in Dinuba, Calif., April 5, 1936. He graduated from West Point and married Connie Murray in 1960. He is survived by four children and eight grandchildren. James had two tours in Vietnam, receiving the Bronze Star. He spent 20 years in the Army and was stationed in Turkey under NATO during the 70s. He received two masters degrees and worked in the aerospace industry in concert with the space shuttle programs in Silicon Valley. He had two successful businesses and established the Sacramento Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Network. James went on to author veteran legislation, was an advocate for veteran rights and benefits and became the secretary of Veterans Affairs for the state of California. He founded Oro Vista Vineyard near Coloma and made award-winning wines. Read about his winemaking venture at tinyurl.com/ bdzxr8n8. Jim and Connie opened their home to an annual Christmas Open House every year to more than 100 local guests, much in the tradition and spirit of the nearby historical Bayley House. In that tradition Connie wanted to open a more in-depth invitation to his life story of a servant’s heart at tinyurl.com/mubnutk4. A video of James’ memorial service can be viewed at youtu.be/ yakroxKZP6g. Until we reunite with Jim, may God grant you salvation, grace and peace. Amen!

Shared services coverage. “If it’s not mutually beneficial, we don’t do them,” explained Schwab. “This one is the best one I’ve seen.” The shared services come as a remedy with the size and frequency of wildfires growing each year and fire agencies struggling to meet budget. “Work with what you have,” is the message Cordero said he got from voters in 2019 when they rejected Measure B, a tax initiative that would have given the district a needed boost. The agreement also brought the two agencies closer together, including in training opportunities, the fire chiefs shared. Camino residents have expressed concerns to the Mountain Democrat that Station 20 engines go out on project work, leaving them without a neighborhood fire station since Station 21 personnel was

Detailers buff a fire engine at Station 17 in Pollock Pines.

It was a spa day for two of El Dorado County’s hard-working fire trucks thanks to expert detailers with the Detail Mafia, from left, Samantha Sweeden, Kelly Mankin and Adam Garvin.

Retired Cal Fire engineer and paramedic Samantha Sweeden of Bella Vita Mobile Detailing led a team of half a dozen automotive detailers to Pollock Pines over the weekend to clean and revitalize two fire trucks for the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. Sweeden grew up in El Dorado County and spent 23 years in local fire service and emergency management industries before injury led her to a different line of work — running Scott’s Valley-based Bella Vita. She said this pro bono project is an opportunity for her to give back to the community. “I can’t give back to the community as a firefighter anymore but I can with detailing,” Sweeden told the Mountain Democrat. She enlisted the skills of the Detail Mafia, a group of some 230 detailers across the U.S. and other countries that loves to give back. Six members of the mafia signed up to spiff up Engine 17, which is based at Station 17 in Pollock Pines, as well Engine 328 out of Shingle Springs. Among ■

Politicians eager to send Californians cash for gas

alifornians face stubborn shortages of necessities — housing, water and perhaps electrical power — but in this election year, politicians are offering numerous plans to give them billions of dollars to offset a sharp increase in gas prices. DAN WALTERS Why, with so many other issues needing political attention, are Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators focused on gas prices, which have spiked due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine? It’s because to the voting public, having to spend more to fill their tanks is a frequent reminder of how living costs have spiraled upward. A new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California recently found, “Thirty-five percent of Californians say that recent price increases have caused serious financial hardship for themselves or others California politicians in their households. are falling all over Forty-seven percent of lower-income residents themselves to send say that they are cash to car owners experiencing serious and/or taxpayers financial hardship due to recent price to offset a sharp increases.” increase in gasoline Inflation is the now prices but it might the squeakiest wheel and in an election year take months for — particularly one in a final plan to be which legislative and adopted. congressional districts have been altered due to population shifts — and politicians are rushing to apply grease in the form of cash payments. “We’re taking immediate action to get money directly into the pockets of Californians who are facing higher gas prices as a direct result of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” Newsom said as he offered his $11 billion version. Newsom’s is the most expensive of at least four plans kicking around the Capitol, including a Republican proposal — dead on arrival — to suspend the state’s gasoline tax. He wants to give all Californians $400 debit cards for each of their cars, capped at two vehicles, plus grants to allow transit systems to provide free rides for three months to about 3 million riders each day and postponement of a scheduled increase in fuel taxes. His plan is somewhat similar to one put forth by a group of Democratic legislators, calling for $400 payments to every Californian who has filed an

Letters to the Editor Cal Fire: Cameron Park’s bestie

Actions not words

EDITOR: very person in Cameron Park should call up our fire stations and say, “Thank you, Cal Fire.” We get Rolls Royce service for a Kia price. The firefighters who serve us show up in a medical emergency, transport us to the hospital if needed and run into burning buildings that others are running out of. You’d expect this from dedicated firefighters. What sets Cal Fire apart in Cameron Park is the administration of the contract. Not only do officials work to keep their expenses under budget, they earn money by renting our equipment during extreme fire events while keeping us safe and they return the funds earned to Cameron Park. Last year Cal Fire came in $628,070.31 under the “do not exceed” contract with the Cameron Park Community Services District and they returned an additional $231,303.55 from renting out equipment. And in fiscal year 2019-20 they returned $346,000 in rental fees. These savings and returned rental funds have kept Cameron Park from going broke. If not for Cal Fire we would be so far in the red we would not have many of the programs we enjoy. Without this financial situation we would not be able to maintain the level of maintenance on our facilities. This brings us to unfortunate treatment of Cal Fire by our former general manager. It has been alleged that she was routinely rude and dismissive to Cal Fire representatives during meetings and never showed them the respect and gratitude they have earned. If members of the CPCSD Board of Directors knew of the abusive rude treatment, and I understand several did, shame on them for allowing it to take place. If board members didn’t know then shame on them for not being sufficiently involved and being so lazy they don’t know what is going on between an employee they are charged with oversight of and a valuable partner like Cal Fire. Alas, I am afraid that we can only expect more mental and intellectual incontinence from this board. Let’s hope the new GM André Pichly can build and maintain a better relationship with our valued emergency services partner. GERALD LILLPOP Cameron Park

EDITOR: onna Skelton criticizes Donald Trump for not saying bad things about Putin and Xi. In real life, actions speak much louder than words. First, it has now been shown that it was Hillary’s campaign that colluded with the Russians to smear the Trump campaign, making Watergate look like an amateurish joke by comparison. Now let’s look at actions. Trump sent weapons to Ukraine when Obama didn’t and Biden only did in the last few days. Trump placed large tariffs on China while the Chinese were investing with Hunter Biden, a deal he arranged on Air Force Two. It’s been said, “Follow the money.” Let’s do. In the Biden’s coffers we have $1.5 billion Chinese dollars invested with Hunter’s start-up company, millions of Ukrainian dollars in the Bidens’ pockets with Biden publicly threatening to cancel a $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if officials didn’t fire the prosecutor looking into their corruption. Not to mention the $3.5 million sent to Hunter Biden from the wife of the mayor of Moscow and the $145 million Russian dollars to Hillary’s so called foundation — really a slush fund — after she signed off on the sale of all that uranium to Russia. Ms. Skelton finishes up bemoaning the failure of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. That act would invalidate laws like in Georgia that the Democrats hate so much. Let’s look a bit at that Georgia law and see what’s so bad it needs to end. The Georgia law expanded the time for early voting. The Georgia law mandated that dates and times for early voting be published ahead of time. The Georgia law made scanned ballot images subject to public disclosure. It states that absentee ballots may be requested as far as 11 weeks from the election. It mandates voter ID and signature verification when needed. It banned unsolicited ballots and ballot harvesting. Unless you have ulterior motives, what in that law is so bad? So, Ms. Skelton, Trump was much harder on China and Russia than Obama/Hillary and wanted voting and ballot security with no more ID, etc., than what is required to fly on an airplane or sign up for Social Security. Where’s the assault on democracy? GEORGE ALGER Placerville

While the numbers are significant, it is important to remember that each has personal needs that must be addressed. If we want to see the cycle of homelessness and poverty change, we must provide the services and care to do so. The Upper Room provides personal, caring and compassionate support. The magnitude of the problem cannot overshadow the needs of the individual. Unfortunately, not every homeless person takes The Upper Room up on its offer to help. Some are not capable of making sound decisions about their circumstances or future. We are not the guardian of all who wanders the streets of El Dorado County; nor do we have (or desire) police powers. El Dorado County residents agree that nobody wants anyone to live on the streets. We have zero tolerance for that situation and will do all that we can to eliminate it. We applaud the dialogue on how to best use public and private resources to decrease the number of homeless in, and impact on,

our communities. Because we are divided on many policies for addressing homelessness, some believe services to the homeless at The Upper Room are a magnet: “If you feed them, they will come.” I take it as a compliment that anybody believes the services at here are so fantastic that the homeless are relocating to take advantage of what we provide. But my experience and our records tell me the homeless all over California are not discussing a shelter in El Dorado County and plotting a move here. El Dorado County has a high number of homeless, or a more significant number of “visible” homeless, stimulating the crises and concern. There are many reasons for this, but among these are the mild climate and even our geography — the nearby forest allows individuals to move between the services in the city and a bed in the wilderness with relative ease. There is also the lack of services for the mentally ill or affordable housing for those living from paycheck to paycheck. Not providing a navigation center or shelter might cause some to move on, but it will

income tax return. However by basing payments on cars rather than tax returns, Newsom’s plan would benefit those, such as the elderly living on Social Security pensions, who don’t file tax returns. The bigger contrast is between Newsom’s plan and one offered jointly by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, which would give $200 payments to taxpayers and their dependents, excluding households making more than $250,000 a year. No matter which methodology is used for the rebates, the stickiest issue will be whether every Californian who files a tax return and/or owns a car should benefit, regardless of income, or if relief should be concentrated on those in lower income strata most affected by inflation. “I appreciate Gov.r Newsom’s work on developing another option to bring relief to Californians experiencing the rising cost of fuel and consumer

goods,” Atkins notes in a statement. “The Senate is focused on ensuring that state money is targeted to those who actually need relief.” Newsom will contend that providing money to transit systems for three months of free ridership would benefit the working poor who depend on buses and trolleys to get to their jobs. His version does appear to be the most comprehensive. A compromise will be worked out but that’s likely to take several months. Newsom’s plan assumes that the rebates will be distributed sometime after the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1. Republicans are already complaining that only their proposal, a suspension of the state gas tax that would reduce gas prices by about 50 cents a gallon, would offer immediate relief.

Sweeden is hoping to make the 2022 Air Force One Detailing Team. The project was sponsored by the Bay Area’s P&S Detail Sales, which provided the ceramic coating free of charge.

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). People wonder what you’re really thinking, though you’re not quite ready yet to let down your guard. Let them stew in the mystery of you for a while. Everyone enjoys the touch of drama you bring now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember that sooner or later what you own ends up owning you, as possessions require attention and maintenance. The time to think about this, of course, is before you buy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The call of the wild speaks to something deep in you because it’s in your first language. You don’t have to relearn it. You only have to let go. You’ll be carried back to where you came from. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know what’s universally liked? Nothing and no one. It will be enough for today to delight yourself. If your plans please you, they will likely have a positive effect on someone else as well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The wind is only considered “angry” when it’s blowing houses over. But when it’s blowing a windmill, it’s a power source. You’ll apply your feelings to the circumstances to which they can be most useful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll get the feeling that someone is watching over you. The one who has your back may be currently invisible or anonymous, but you can count on their protection. Go fearlessly forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve made something. Whether you love what you made or not, it now has the virtue of existing, which makes it more useful than things that don’t exist, because existing things can be observed, built upon and revised. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While puzzles and mysteries seem fun, troubles and inconveniences don’t. Yet both could be seen from the standpoint of gaming. A lot depends on how you name the problem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The road to becoming is paved in repetition. Be mindful of what you do time and again. For better or worse, what gets replayed will one day be a part of you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you look back, mixed feelings come up. Regret is an option, but there are prettier ones. The past is a big picture with a million framing options. Why not choose the ones that are more fun to look at? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The move you most need to make next is a challenging one. Instead of shying away from emotional discomfort, move through it. Discomfort will soon give way to something beautiful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Every seed already knows how to grow itself. The planter’s job is to create the proper conditions and get out of the way. Trust in the process of life.

Road and east of Missouri Flat Road at 3551 Garden Valley Road. “I don’t have much disagreement with the proposed road but I have a lot of problems with how the county has handled negotiations,” Teter said. The county initiated negotiations with Teter in October 2018, but no agreement was reached between the two parties. In July 2020 the county had an appraisal performed by BenderRosenthal Inc., which valued the land at $213,600. That amount was offered by the county in August 2020. Teter then had his own appraisal prepared by Evans Appraisal Service, which valued the parcels at $224,000 in March 2021. A counteroffer was made by Teter, who also requested temporary construction easements be removed. The county responded that removing the easements would reduce total compensation. “At this point my idea was just to throw in the towel and get on with my life,” Teter said. The county then offered $224,000 and removed the easements, valuing the property at $173,681. The counteroffer also included $50,000 to fix drainage issues. “The negotiation was never fair,” Teter said. The agreement was signed but too late. An escrow closing agreement ended Sept. 1, 2021, and had not been modified. County officials asked Teter on Dec. 28, 2021, to extend the escrow agreement but Teter declined to sign the extension. Teter said he still wants to come to an agreement with the county. “I’m just trying to come to a reasonable offer that is more applicable to what the land is actually worth,” Teter said. El Dorado County Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez said mediation is possible if a resolution cannot be found between the two parties, to which Teter responded that he would prefer the matter not go to court. “I don’t know why we couldn’t have an arbitrator because my experience with how this has gone so far has not been good,” Teter said. “I’m trying to avoid going to court. That’s not what I want for any of us.” Martinez noted another appraisal

of the property will be conducted and the county expects to receive that in approximately two months. “Fortunately we missed that (escrow) deadline and I say fortunately because the original appraisal was over two years ago and property values have changed drastically since then,” Martinez said. “I feel like it is going to be in everyone’s best interest to have an honest conversation between the county and Mr. Teter so we can offer him something that is equitable and fair.” District 4 Supervisor and Board Chair Lori Parlin asked if it was possible to deny the resolution to acquire the property while all parties negotiate. Martinez said it would be better for the project’s schedules and deadlines if the Board of Supervisors approved use of eminent domain during the hearing. “If we don’t come up with an agreement on a price for the property, then at some point we are going to have to set that deadline, which will push the project out,” Martinez said. “That could jeopardize any further potential for the project moving forward.” District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel agreed with Martinez’s comments on acquiring the parcels at a fair price. “This project needs to be moved forward but at the same time we need to make sure we are fair to our property owner,” Novasel said. “This has been dragged out a long time.” District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said moving forward with the resolution will put the county’s “feet to the fire” to complete the project, which will secure timely funding needed for the parkway. “We blew it in September and this keeps the pressure on us to get this done,” Thomas said. “I think all of us have a willing desire to come together on this and that it is critical we move forward while continuing the strict negotiations in an equitable manner so we don’t lose that funding.” Parlin, who cast the only no vote on the resolution, said she is opposed to any eminent domain action. “I’ve been very consistently against it, which is why I’m having heartburn over this,” Parlin said. The board voted 4-1 on the resolution, hitting the required number of yes votes to move forward with eminent domain.

size of forest fires, according to Smith. Other options for the burned material include: • Sell timber to a shavings plant, particle board plant, pellet plant, power generation plant or chip exporter. The value of the material in these cases will not cover the cost of removal/haul so supplemental funding is needed. • Piling burned logs for later disposal, most likely burning. • Allowing the public to remove burned trees as fuel wood. • Leaving burned timber in place to benefit wildlife. Smith noted that some burned trees will be left in place because funding is not available for removal.

reached out to Koht for comment but did not hear back as of press time. Fire officials and county officials had up until recently been at the table discussing EDH Fire’s annexation of Rescue — a process it successfully completed with Latrobe in 2014. During this recent effort, Johnson said the EDH Fire Board directors and administration had concerns about the ongoing costs associated, estimated at $800,000 to $900,000 annually. “The cost involved is greater than

EDH Fire was ready to delve into,” Chief Johnson admitted, adding that negotiations for county assistance were going well. “We would not support anything that would be detrimental to El Dorado Hills.” Termination of the agreement doesn’t entirely end the fire districts’ relationship. Depending on what is worked out between the two agencies, EDH Fire could still provide services to its neighbor. “We want to be a good partner with Rescue,” Johnson insisted.

ost can remember the exact notes they first squeaked out of a horn or the first chords their fingers were able to master on the guitar as a child. Pioneer Union School District has a strong music program offered at all of its three schools — Walt Tyler Elementary, Pioneer Elementary and Mountain Creek Middle School. Preschool through eighth-grade students are given music opportunities in voice, instrumental, guitar and performance programs. Students currently are hard at work preparing for the spring musical, “Twelve Dancing Princesses.”

“‘Twelve Dancing Princesses’ (is) a pop rock musical adaptation of the Grimm Brothers fairytale,” explained Beau Phillips, PUSD music teacher. “The production features 55 second- through eighth-graders playing the roles of the Princesses, Princes, Lady Sniffles, Lady Steno, the enchantress Hope Diamond and other delightful characters and we even have a chorus of singing cows, which will be sung and danced by an ensemble of kindergartners.” As with preparations for this musical and beyond, music education has been shown to improve language capabilities, memory, hand-eye coordination, study habits, teamwork and problem-solving in children. PUSD prides itself on the ability to not only offer music opportunities to all grades, but to n

Oak Ridge art contest opens educational doors Jana Rossi Staff writer

n honor of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, Matt Hodgin’s 11th grade U.S. history class at Oak Ridge High School worked in groups of up to four students to decorate 10 doors on the El Dorado Hills campus. Each door art was meant to articulate how the group’s person of choice, either a Black American and/ or woman, had contributed to society. The judging panel was made up of Principal Aaron Palm, Rotarian/Realtor Axel Hanneman, school board member and Oak Ridge Foundation President Brooke VanKomen and El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Ed Manansala. Palm said the judges selected winning groups based on the amount of accessible information the door banner provided, creativity and artistic nature. In the spirit of ensuring fairness in judging, names were not listed on the facing side of the artwork.

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — What started as a father writing a book to help his daughter overcome her fear of water has grown into a whimsical series featuring Lake Tahoe’s favorite cryptid, Tahoe Tessie, and her friends. The story started when Juliet was 4. She and her dad, Donny Beken, were on a boat with some friends. As Juliet tells it, she and the another girl were running around the boat and misbehaving. “My dad was afraid I would fall off the boat so he told me if I didn’t start behaving Tahoe Tessie would get me,” the 8-year-old explained. The harmless fib to get his daughter to behave soon spiraled into Juliet’s full-blown water phobia. Donny said she became not only afraid of Tahoe but also pools, bathtubs and even the toilet. Dad knew he had to fix it. He had already written a book for her called “Sleep Little Star,” a bedtime story, so he decided the best way to tackle the problem would be to write a book painting Tessie as a lovable creature and not a terrifying monster. In August 2020 the book was released. “Tahoe Tessie the Lonely Lake Monster (Creature)” tells a story similar to Donny and Juliet’s story. Tessie overhears a dad tell his daughter that Tessie will come and get her, making Tessie sad because she’s just a misunderstood creature that wants friends. Romeo the Black Bear attempts to befriend Tessie and she soon has a group of woodland creatures as friends. Romeo is a nod to his daughter’s name, Juliet — a fact Juliet is proud to share. Juliet said the book helped and she’s been to the

lake several times since the book was finished. The Tessie and friends universe continues to grow. The second in the series, “Tahoe Tessie & Friends – The Rocky Rescue,” was released in February 2021 and follows the tale of a little fox that slips down Cave Rock into the water and has to be rescued by Tessie. The third book is slated to be released this summer. Titled “Tahoe Tessie & Friends – Firefighting Friends,” the book tells of the friends putting out an unattended campfire before it rages out of control. Donny is already working on a fourth book about trash on the beach. “I’m always thinking of other ideas. I want to increase awareness of Tahoe and its problems,” he said, adding that he hopes to instill safety and stewardship in children’s minds and hopefully the parents pick something up along the way too. The art in all of the books is been done by a South African artist Camilia Prinsloo. They’ve never met in person but Donny said he loves her illustrations and hopes to one day see her face to face. Juliet isn’t just the inspiration for the books, she is also instrumental in making them. Donny is always bouncing ideas off of Juliet and she’s given him plenty of advice along the way. She even joined him at a book reading where she signed autographs. “I want to take over writing Tahoe Tessie books one day,” Juliet shared. As for Donny, he said right now this is just a hobby but he hopes one day the books are successful enough to send Juliet to college. The books can be found in Learning Express and Biggest Little Baby in Reno and also on Amazon.

orty-three years ago “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” landed in theaters after several attempts by Paramount Pictures and Gene Roddenberry to reboot (a term that wasn’t used in the Hollywood parlance back then) the 1960’s sci-fi show canceled after just three seasons. What almost became another series with “Star Trek: Phase II” morphed into a feature film with the entire original cast returning. You can thank a little film by the name of “Star Wars” for forcing the hand of the studio and putting the movie on a warp-speed for a hellor-highwater Christmas 1979 release.

Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent The film ultimately released cost a lot of money. A look at the special FX (or the inordinate amount of beautiful shots of the Starship Enterprise) will show you where the money was spent. The film also made a lot of money. “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” doesn’t get enough credit for launching the “Trek” movie series and saving a franchise that could have easily died a quick death in the late ’70s instead of spawning 12 more feature films, 10 televisions series (and counting) and thousands of books, comics, toys and fan conventions. When I was growing up the film was always considered “the slow one.” The old joke was to always call it “Star Trek:

The Motion-less Picture.” Personally, I always felt the film got a bad rap. It may not pack the punch of the magnificent “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” or the highly entertaining (and funny) “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” but “The Motion Picture” is the closest version the film series came to the tone and story elements of the source material. In this case, the source material is the original series

(1966-69). What always bogged down “The Motion Picture” was that to make that Christmas release date in ‘79, corners had to be cut during the hectic post-production schedule. Director Robert Wise (“The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “West Side Story,” “The Sound of Music”) always considered the theatrical version released to be ■

a rushed “rough cut” of the picture with FX mostly complete, but never where he wanted them to be. It was a sore subject for the legendary filmmaker for 20 years after the film’s initial release. In 2001 Wise had the opportunity to revisit the film to refine the edit and enhance the visual effects. It was a longer version with scenes that never made the original version, but the film played much better tonally, looked fantastic and worked on a deeper emotional level. Yes, for those who want their sci-fi caffeinated with action set pieces it is still a slow-burn, but it’s a darned good science fiction film. It’s more akin to “2001: A Space Odyssey” than “The Empire Strikes Back.” Wise’s updated vision in 2001 was released on DVD in standard definition and embraced by fans but has never been available in higher definition until now. Meticulously assembled and restored by producer David C. Fein with preservationist Mike Matessino, both of whom originally collaborated with Mr. Wise, the film has been prepared for presentation in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR) and

breakfast is only $7 for adults and still $3 for kids. All proceeds stay in El Dorado County to assist needy local veterans and their families.

Walk-ins will be accommodated if space allows.

a new powerful and immersive Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Fein and Matessino assembled a team of special effects experts, led by returning visual effects supervisor Daren Dochterman (for “Star Trek” fans, Mr. Dochterman appears on the excellent “Inglorious Treksperts” podcast), and utilized the extensive resources in the Paramount Archives to recreate the effects not just in HD, but in Ultra HD. After more than six months of painstaking work, the updated movie looks and sounds better than ever while staying true to Wise’s original intention. In my opinion, this is the second major restoration Paramount pictures has knocked out of the park this month after the stunning “The Godfather” restoration. If only all classic films got this much love. In addition to this beautiful version streaming on Paramount+, fans will have the opportunity to see the restored version of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition” on the big screen for the first time when Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures bring it to theaters for an exclusive, two-day event May 22 and May 25. Tickets go on sale today at

FathomEvents.com. Personally, for the gorgeous special FX alone this one needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Growing up I was always partial to the original crew of the Enterprise with Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the rest of the gang. Shows like “The Next Generation” (19871994) and the films that followed with that next crew are good (the series was brilliant), but something about the cavalier nature of Kirk and his friends always appealed to me. “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” was a product of the success of “Star Wars” but also its greatest burden, as fans wanting to see an action packed “Trek” movie with the Enterprise deep in battle would have to wait a few years longer. This director’s edition is a treat for fans of the franchise and cinema fans in general. I recommend giving it another try. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/ producer. His most recent project, the feature film “No Evidence OF Man,” is now being submitted to festivals. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.

if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $358,550.18 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call ServiceLink Auction | Hudson and Marshall at (866) 539-4173 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address https://www.servicelinkauction. com/ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000375-20-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
