1 dead, 1 in critical condition in SLT shooting Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Residents of a quiet neighborhood in South Lake Tahoe were awoken in the early hours Wednesday morning by gunshots. South Lake Tahoe Police responded to numerous 911 calls of shots fired at about 1 a.m. in the Tahoe Sierra neighborhood. Upon arrival, officers discovered a man with numerous gunshot wounds, states a press release. The man was transported from the scene and later pronounced dead, officials said. A second male with a gunshot wound was also transported from the scene and is in stable, but
critical, condition. Sierra Boulevard was closed between Kubal and Rose avenues to through traffic. Authorities at about 9:15 a.m. were removing crime tape from the scene that covered about two blocks. A witness who lives across the street, Narciso Dui, told the Tribune he and his wife were watching television when he heard yelling followed by what sounded like firecrackers. “I told my wife to hit the floor,” Dui said. “We stayed there for about 15 minutes. My phone wasn’t with me, she said grab the phone, but I told her I didn’t want to get up because maybe the shooter was still n

EDC goes to orange tier Thomas Frey Staff writer El Dorado County moved into the orange, less restrictive tier of the state’s countyby-county COVID-19 monitoring system Wednesday. The move will allow businesses to increase their indoor capacity by about double. “I know there will be a lot of businesses that will be very pleased obviously with that accomplishment,” said District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl. Amador, Placer and Sacramento counties — which border El Dorado County — remain in the more restrictive, red tier. Movie theaters, restaurants, places of worship, museums, zoos and aquariums can go from 25% to 50% capacity. Gyms and fitness center capacity may increase from 10% to 25% and family n

The 54th Camellia Cup regatta takes place on Saturday at Folsom Lake.
Camellia Cup to sail again John Poimiroo Special to the Mountain Democrat Until 2020, Camellia Cup — the Sacramento region’s oldest and largest sailboat regatta — had been held annually since 1966 on Folsom Lake. COVID-19 ended that run when last year’s regatta was canceled. This year the Folsom Lake Yacht Club waited to the last minute to announce that it would finally hold the 54th Camellia Cup regatta on Saturday, April 10. This time, it n

“The county’s process has denied residents of the city a seat at the table in determining how these buildings, in the heart of their city, will be used and that’s the real concern.” — Kara Taylor, vice mayor of Placerville
Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer With the sale of the old U.S. Post Office and adjacent annex building in downtown Placerville to a new nonprofit, El Dorado Gold 1848, needing just a final OK from county supervisors, city of Placerville leaders — who also have interest in the properties — piped up. Now the city will have a chance to own at least one of the buildings. Placerville Mayor Dennis Thomas, Vice Mayor Kara Taylor and City Council member Patty Borelli called a special meeting March 31 to discuss what they said they perceived as a lack of transparency concerning the El Dorado County Board
of Supervisors’ possible sale of the old U.S. Post Office, formerly the District Attorney’s Office, at 515 Main St. and an annex building at 525 Main St. Thomas opened the meeting expressing his concern over an apparent lack of communication concerning the sale of the buildings. The newly formed nonprofit El Dorado Gold 1848 had been in closed session negotiations with the county to purchase them. Council members Michael Saragosa and Jackie Neau recused themselves from the meeting due to conflicts of interest. Saragosa’s wife, Brenda Quintana, serves on the Arts and Culture El Dorado Board of Directors and Neau administers
“The county followed a process. I think it’s time to execute what’s before us.” — Lori Parlin, El Dorado County District 4 supervisor the organization’s Arts Incubator program. The buildings in question figure into Arts and Culture El Dorado’s overall cultural district plan.

Oct. 24, 1941 – April 2, 2021
On Friday, April 2, David Joe Dean, a loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away at home with his family by his side.

As a child, he moved with his family to Hayward, Calif., where he graduated from Hayward High School in 1959. Upon graduating, he began his career as a general contractor and continued with his profession for 52 years. He married Anna Sue Dean, his high school sweetheart and eternal companion on May 14, 1960. They raised two sons, Dave and Don and one daughter Amy. In 1975, David and his wife relocated with their family from the Bay Area to Cameron Park. David was an excellent golfer. He loved working with his hands and was detail oriented in everything that he did. He was most known for his ability to make people smile. He had a quick wit and a kind heart. He touched the lives of the many people he came in contact with and was known to be a loyal friend. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in many capacities. He especially enjoyed his time serving as a temple worker in the Oakland California Temple. His greatest love was his family. He often wrote letters and messages to his loved ones expressing his love and gratitude for them. David was preceded in death by his father Preston and his mother Irene. He is survived by his wife Anna, his three children, Dave (Denise) Dean, Don (Kala) Dean and Amy (Brian) Andersen, his 11 grandchildren and his two great grandchildren.

LaVonne Fay Strohm Oct. 2, 1926 – April 2, 2021
LaVonne Fay (Holm) Strohm died of natural causes on April 2 in Eureka, Calif., at the age of 94. She was born to Amelia and Rudolph Holm in Argo Fay, Ill., on their farm. She attended Lyons High School in Clinton, Iowa, and the University of Iowa in Iowa City. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1948. LaVonne married her high school sweetheart, Bernard R. Strohm, shortly after World War II on Oct. 24, 1947. Their home was always a gathering spot for Sunday dinners, wedding receptions and countless visits from friends and relatives. The family lived in Iowa City, Iowa; Columbus, Ohio and Los Angeles, Calif. In retirement Barney and LaVonne moved to Grizzly Flats, Calif., in the Gold Rush Country where they thrived on their rural historical property. Her final years were spent in Eureka, Calif., near her two oldest daughters. LaVonne was active in the school PTA, L.A. city school integration efforts, the Unitarian Church in Santa Monica and the Willow School Restoration Project in Grizzly Flat. She was an excellent seamstress, writer and copy editor. She treasured both education and family and rarely missed a graduation of a child, grandchild or greatgrandchild. She often used her journalism degree doing interviews, writing newsletter articles and editing theses and dissertations. She went to work at a local print shop when the youngest of her seven children reached teenage years. She authored a book, “Tales from Grizzly Flat,” which was published in 2016 when she was 90 years old. Mom was an adventurous person. She dragged Pop along on a trans-Siberian railway trip, a stay in a yurt in Mongolia, a photo-safari to Africa, a journey to the mountains of Peru, extended stays in India and a farm tour in New Zealand. In her 70s she flew in a glider piloted by her son-in-law high up over Lake Tahoe! She instigated road trips where there really were no roads, ate fried scorpions which really are not food and made money stretch when it really wasn’t enough. She is survived by her seven children; Laura (Haven), Nancy (Peter), Dan (Catherine), Carolyn, Jill (Mark), David, and Janet; 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. A niece LuAnne Phillips and nephew Tom Hodina (Eliza) also survive her, along with many great-nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death, only four months earlier, by her husband of 73 years, Barney. Also preceding her in death were her sisters, Marjory Peters (Fred), and Evelyn Hodina (Sam) and her niece Donna Van Buer (Duane). Mom lived a long and wonderful life. If desired, thoughts of remembrance may be sent to lstrohm@ sbcglobal.net, to be shared with the family. A joint celebration of her and Barney’s lives will be held when the pandemic allows. Any donations in her memory may go to the scholarship fund of the University of Iowa, School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

DUI suspected in Cold Springs crash The driver of this 2011 Mazda was life-flighted with major injuries after hitting a metal fence on Cold Springs Road the morning of April 1.
Mountain Democrat staff A 71-year-old Placerville man who was reportedly driving while intoxicated and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt suffered major injuries April 1 when he lost control of his vehicle, striking a metal pipe fence on Cold Springs Road. Wesley Engle was travelling northbound on Cold Springs near Gold Hill Road in a 2011 Mazda 6 just before 7 a.m. when, according to California Highway Patrol investigators, the vehicle drifted off the east edge of the roadway. In an attempt to correct Engle reportedly swerved back onto the roadway only to lose control and drive off the west edge where a fence stopped the vehicle’s momentum. Engle was transported to a nearby school campus where a CALSTAR air ambulance picked him up and flew him to Sutter Roseville Hospital. A call to hospital staff on Engle’s condition was not returned by press time.

California Matters
CA attorney general’s selection was pre-ordained
G
iven California’s current political climate, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s selection of Assemblyman Rob Bonta to be attorney general was virtually preordained. Newsom ardently embraces the identity politics that dominate DAN WALTERS his Democratic Party and therefore feels compelled to pay homage to its major ethnic, gender and cultural components via appointments. Thus, when Newsom made his first state Supreme Court appointment last year, he proudly declared that retired appellate court justice Martin Jenkins “would be the first openly gay California Supreme Court justice and only the third African American man ever to serve on the state’s highest court.” Just a month later California Sen. Kamala Harris, who identifies both as Black and Asian-American, was elected vice president, giving Newsom another shot at a high-level appointment. Newsom was under pressure to appoint a successor who represented at least one of her three identities, but chose, instead, a male Latino, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, while simultaneously naming a Black woman, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, as Padilla’s successor. Newsom hailed them as “California’s first Latino U.S. Senator (and) the first-ever African American California Gov. secretary of state.” With Weber, Gavin Newsom’s Newsom was clearly selection of compensating for not Assemblyman naming a Black woman to succeed Harris, but Rob Bonta as he was giving her an attorney general office several notches was an inevitable below a seat in the U.S. Senate. Therefore, as result of identity the campaign to recall politics. him heated up, Newsom sought to fend off any residual disappointment among Black leaders by publicly promising to choose a Black woman to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein should she retire before her term expires three years hence. All of those appointments — and the promise vis-à-vis Feinstein’s seat — left one major group, Asian-Americans, still waiting for its due in the complicated machinations of identity politics. When, therefore, Attorney General Xavier Becerra was tapped by President Joe Biden to become health and welfare secretary, Newsom was virtually compelled to name an Asian-American successor — even more so in response to the recent spate of anti-Asian violence. By choosing Bonta, who was born in the Philippines and as a child came to California with his parents, Newsom closed the circle of identity

Letters to the Editor Your kindness is appreciated EDITOR: would like to publicly thank the kind woman who graciously paid for my groceries while on a recent shopping trip. I am 94 years old and was in Placerville Grocery Outlet and without realizing it, attempted to pay my $36 bill with the only debit/ credit card I had which had expired. I was frantic and did not know what to do and a lovely young woman piped up behind me and said to the cashier, “Put her groceries on my tab.” I was shocked to say the least. I wanted to get her name and send her the money somehow, but she said, “Take your groceries and go home” — a lovely gesture to say the least, one of which I will not forget for a very long time.

Offshore wind EDITOR: oastal winds are a powerful form of energy being successfully utilized by other countries through offshore wind turbines, yet the U.S. is capturing only a fraction of offshore wind’s potential. According to the Environment America Research & Policy Center, the U.S. coastal regions have the potential to produce twice the consumption of energy in 2019 with offshore wind alone. California needs to harness this resource to reach 100% renewable electricity, which will improve air quality and fight climate change. We need a plan to mobilize action and to ensure we meet our goals on time. The Biden administration recently announced plans to reach 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 and with over 800 miles of coastline, California can and must contribute. AB 525 (Chiu) would set a planning target of 3 GW of offshore wind energy development by 2030 and 10 GW by 2040. Citizens should urge their legislators to support this bill to ensure the first offshore wind turbines of the West Coast will be in California. KYLIE WRIGHT Cameron Park

Want to make a difference? EDITOR: lot of letters I see either argue for or against certain policy positions, which in turn opens up huge and often angry debates. I am writing to offer a simple solution to that, but before
A
I do, I want to emphasize that I am not writing this with the purpose to tell people to channel their beliefs elsewhere. This is just a suggestion and everyone has a right to free speech any way they want to use it. As a former congressional intern, I wanted to share that every call, email or letter we receive about an opinion toward various bills or policies is logged and documented. At the end of the week the congressman or congresswoman will see the log and see the issues that are being discussed. For example, if 50 people called in a span of a week about an infrastructure bill, the congressperson will see it. I am saying this because a lot of the time people (myself included prior to my time in the office) think the local individual has no say on policy or platform positions on the federal level, but rather dark money and lobbyists control the agenda. While they can play a role (and I’m not going to address that in this letter), your voice matters too and will be seen. So if you are really passionate about something and want that voice to be heard and recognized: call, write, or email your congressman. No, you do not need to be an expert on various bills or the existing laws. It can be as simple as “Hi, my name is_____, I live in_____ and I want the congressman/women to support/oppose ______.” Your comments will be recorded and the legislator will see it. This is a very simple way to make your voices heard and make any type of difference. Ultimately, doing this doesn’t stop me from sharing my opinions on platforms such as this; it just ensures that I am doing all I can to be represented and heard fully. Unfortunately, this isn’t common knowledge and I wanted to share it with the community. ADAM BERNSTEIN Camino
Attacks on Asian Americans EDITOR: ld Asian Americans are being attacked. What is going on here? Mr. Ford, in his recent letter, claims it is not Mr. Trump saying China virus and Kung Flu virus at his rallies, but instead Democratic mayors in numerous blue cities. He concludes that it is probable the mayors are responsible, so it couldn’t be Trump. Perhaps Mr. Ford used Occam’s Razor indicating the simplest explanation is usually the right one. Or not. Think about it. JAMES LONGHOFER Placerville

Capitol Hill was tragically and fatally surprised April 2. They were surprised on Jan. 6 as Capitol police never imagined they would face such a menacing mob. The woman walking down the street or someone in a grocery store seldom suspects a lunatic is on the prowl. We let our guards down. We want to believe we are safe ... but we aren’t. Because of so much violence in our society people are unnerved by a stranger knocking on the door. Someone walking too close to us in the store or riding our rear bumper on the highway causes concern. Unfortunately, violence typically happens when we are least suspecting. While our leaders will be strengthening the fence around the nation’s Capitol, I hope they will strengthen our security on the southern border. About 5,000 people a day are entering our nation. Many
are paying Mexican gangsters up to $8,000 each for help in reaching our border. Are they going to come here and be law-abiding people? Since President Biden doesn’t want to return to the detention policies of Donald Trump, thousands of asylum applicants are being released into the country. These people are not going to remain on the border. They are coming to your town in Iowa, Utah, Ohio and Vermont and all the rest of the country. The fence around the Capitol will become a monument to the future of our nation. Many third-world houses in Brazil, South Africa and many places in Mexico are surrounded by walls or fences. If we don’t do better with our security on the border look for most houses and subdivisions in America to follow this same course. And, don’t be surprised.

Beyond identity politics, Bonta’s ideological DON’T MISS positioning is the most important aspect of his selection, because it gives a big boost to those seeking to overhaul California’s criminal justice system to make it less punitive and more restorative. Bonta has championed the cause in the Legislature, including landmark legislation to abolish cash bail that was overturned by voters last year. “Too many Californians have faced unfairness in the many broken parts of our criminal justice system,” Bonta said, “and they deserve more compassion, more humanity and a second chance.” Bonta will be aligned with a small cadre of reform-minded prosecutors, led by George Gascón, who had been district attorney of San Francisco before defeating Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey last year.

Sanders claims opener n Al Hinds

comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
tribute up next Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway Aromas driver Justin Sanders has been on a tear to start the season in California and continued his hot pace April 3 at Placerville Speedway, racing to victory in the 25-lap winged 360 sprint cars feature. For Sanders it gave him a sweep of the weekend in the Golden State after also winning at Ocean Speedway the previous night. In total the 28-year-old has now captured five victories in the early California season to go along with a triumph in Arizona. It also marked his third win in four starts aboard the potent No. 4SA machine. Sharing victory lane with Sanders at the Easter Eggstravaganza were Jake Morgan with the wingless sprints, Kevin Jinkerson with the pure stocks and Wyatt Lakin in the mini trucks. Sanders started from the outside of the front row but things got off to a rough start when pole sitter John Clark looped it in front of the field. The incident also collected Michael Faccinto and Justyn Cox. When things finally got under way Sanders set the pace and was dogged by Placerville’s own Andy Gregg over much of the early distance. A lap 17 restart was one filled with some drama as officials deemed Sanders to have started prior to the fireoff, which penalized him one position. It moved Lincoln’s Blake Carrick up to the lead for the double-file restart, with Sanders and the 16-yearold upstart battling back and forth up front. Sanders came out on top and took the checkered flag for his 14th career winged 360 triumph at the track. Blake Carrick crossed the stripe in second with Redding’s Chase Majdic having another impressive run to finish third for the second straight week. Fremont’s Shane Golobic carved his way from 14th to fourth, while Andy Gregg rounded out the top five. The remainder of the top-10 was comprised of Tanner Carrick, Joey Ancona, Chase Johnson, Ryan Robinson and Andy Forsberg. Ancona won the nights B-main, with the C-main going to Michael Ing. Heat race wins went to Justin Sanders, Jake Morgan, John Clark and Tanner Carrick. Michael Faccinto began the night by pacing the healthy 37-car field in qualifying with a lap time of 10.905 to earn the Fast Time Award. When it comes to wingless spec sprint

No. 4SA driver Justin Sanders took the main feature win home to Aromas Saturday. racing at Placerville Speedway Fair Oaks’ Jake Morgan has certainly asserted himself as the man to beat. After riding the high-side to the front the 2019 series champion proceeded to dominate the 25-lap contest to earn another victory in the wingless sprint cars. With Morgan out front the action behind him was hot and heavy however, as Braidon Moniz fended off an extremely fast Bradley Terrell to earn a runner-up finish. Terrell ran third with fellow Sebastopol wheel-man Geoff Ensign charging from 13th to fourth and Placerville’s Shane Hopkins carving his way from 20th to fifth. Sixth through 10th in the feature went to Tim Sherman Jr., Jarrett Soares, Matt Streeter, Brent Steck and Shawn Arriaga. In the 20-lap pure stock division Diamond Springs racer Kevin Jinkerson held command for much of the contest but had to fend off the relentless challenges from multi-time Placerville champion Nick Baldwin. The pair ran nose-totail for several laps as Baldwin tried everything to get by Jinkerson’s No. 30. In the final lap Baldwin got a big run off the last corner but came up just shy as he climbed the front stretch fence in wild fashion. Jinkerson claimed the win over Baldwin, Ryan Peter, Jonathan Walsh and Jason Palmer. Ken Bernstein, Ryan Murphy, Michael Murphy, Oroville Owens and Russ Murphy completed the top 10. The mini truck division was all about Wyatt Lakin, who earned a clean sweep of the night by winning his heat race and then 20-lap main event. Lakin was never seriously challenged during the feature and picked up his first career Placerville Speedway triumph win over Howard Miller, Mike Miller, Thomas Jenson and Tim Stanwood.
Tribute to Al Hinds The El Dorado County Fairgrounds-based Placerville Speedway is locked and loaded to
host one of its longest running events at the quarter-mile bullring, with the 18th annual Tribute to Al Hinds set to take place this April 10. Al Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. Hinds took over operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field. The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport. “From the day he set foot on the red clay at Placerville Speedway to the very last race he attended, Hinds continued to display his true love for auto racing and the community in which he brought it to,” said former track announcer and publicist Bill Sullivan. “Even in his final years he continued to help young drivers, entertain fans and most importantly he spent a great deal of time talking to and mentoring those who helped in speedway operations. When Hinds spoke, anyone who cared remotely about the future of the sport would sit down and listen.” In action to help honor Hinds will be winged 360 sprint cars, limited late models, pure stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The pit gate will open at noon with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. Drivers meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m., with cars on track for wheel packing at 5.

wasn’t too much illness but too little water that delayed the decision. “When lake level is lower than an elevation of 400 feet, the lake’s surface is so close to the bottom in places that a sailboat’s keel, which extends several feet below the hull, could touch,” said FLYC Commodore Kerry Johnston. “So we prefer to sail when the lake is above the 400-foot elevation. What’s frustrated us and delayed our announcement is that the lake level has stayed near 397 feet.” Principal Race Officer Mark Werder determined that racing can occur safely, despite the low level, on several of the lake’s race courses, including in the South Fork of the American River. Nevertheless, skippers will be advised
to avoid light-colored or cloudy water, which indicate shallows. To conduct a regatta during the pandemic FLYC has determined that no skippers’ meeting nor post-race awards ceremony will be held on race day (an online skippers’ meeting and mailed trophies replace meeting in person), crews not living in the same household must wear masks and all five races will be held on Saturday (normally, they’re held over two days). Racing begins Saturday at 11 a.m. on Folsom Lake. Sailboats without motors will be towed to the South Fork should conditions be better there. A smaller turnout than normal (50 boats) is expected.

Climber rescued after falling 100 ft Mountain Democrat staff A rock climber was reportedly severely injured Tuesday when he fell about 100 feet down sharp rocks in a remote area off Silver Fork Road near Kyburz. The man was accompanied by another climber who called 911 but, according to California Highway Patrol Valley Division Air Operations, due to accessibility challenges rescue crews requested the assistance of a helicopter. CHP personnel aboard the helicopter dropped a line and hoisted the climber out of the steep, rocky terrain to rendezvous with El Dorado County Fire Protection District medics for treatment.

four years. In 2016 Arts and Culture El Dorado began a study to prepare a cultural master plan for the county, which suggested developing a cultural district in the city of Placerville. A feasibility study was conducted by Arts and Culture El Dorado and five buildings in Placerville were identified for that purpose. At the time the Courthouse was in question as plans to move El Dorado County Superior Court activities were in the works. The other buildings were the two that make up Old City Hall and those now in question at 515 and 525 Main St. A request for proposal process was initiated in November 2018 for the reuse of the Old City Hall buildings and two proposals were received from Arts and Culture El Dorado and the Wopumnes Nisenan-Mewuk Nation. Presentations were made to a council-appointed committee, which recommended the council award the buildings to Arts and Culture El Dorado. After a re-issue of the request for proposal due to an error in the requirements Arts and Culture El Dorado was again awarded the proposal and took up residence in Old City Hall in 2019. Early in 2020 the city began discussions with the county to obtain 515 and 525 Main St. City leaders said they thought the county had planned to give the buildings to the city but were later asked to make an offer. The city made an offer of $100,000 for both. In November 2020 the county asked that the city Planning Commission determine if conveyance of the properties to the El Dorado County Historical Society conformed to the city’s General Plan. The commission in a unanimous vote found that they did. By February the city was informed that the disposition of the buildings was still being considered. The city was once again asked to submit a proposal for the buildings’ purchase. The city’s proposal was resubmitted March 19 to be considered March 23 but on that date the city was informed that the buildings had been awarded to El Dorado Gold 1848. Morris went on to detail the guiding principles adopted jointly by the city and the county to develop a plan for reuse of the buildings at 515 and 525 Main St. These include historic preservation, community use, an open and dynamic process for reuse of the buildings and that the buildings ultimately serve to enhance downtown Placerville while attracting visitors to El Dorado County. Thomas expressed concern the county would sell the buildings to a nonprofit entity that had no track record and had only recently been formed. “Stability is an important concern of mine when it comes to what I would consider a public asset,” said Thomas. “My core concern is accountability.” Taylor said she had no issue against the proposal of the other applicant and that she sincerely hoped its mission benefits the community at large and is successful. “We can’t compare the merits of the two projects because we literally do not know what the other project is,” Taylor said. “Residents elect council members to represent their best interest,” she continued. “The county’s process has denied residents of the city a seat at the table in determining how these buildings, in the heart of their city, will be used and that’s the real concern.” Council member Borelli said the city being awarded the buildings would have been a win-win for the residents and visitors of Placerville and El Dorado County through the partnership with Arts and Culture El Dorado’s plan for a cultural district in downtown Placerville. “To go from the county indicating that they were going to give us the building and then to have them ask us for proposals … it was such a disappointment,” said Borelli. Kris Payne, representing El Dorado Gold 1848, called in to educate council and attendees on the nature of the organization and the process it had undergone. He explained the mission of the organization — creating a museum “to display heritage and enhance future endeavors through education and preservation of historical buildings and historical artifacts.” Payne said the organization, which had been determined a 501(c)(3) nonprofit by the IRS in March 2021, had assumed the El Dorado Historical Society’s refined proposal and primary responsibility for the purchase and maintenance of said buildings. Payne listed the key players for El Dorado Gold 1848 — Fred Ott, president; Kris Payne, vice president; Sue Taylor, secretary; Rich Mason, treasurer; Jill Kearney, board member;
and Julie Bauer, board member. “El Dorado Gold 1848 is ready to go — not talking about what the future may hold, not talking about a plan, but talking about actual practical realities,” Payne said. After a public comment session that ran from frustration for the perceived lack of transparency in the county’s process to support for the newly formed El Dorado Gold 1848 and its mission, the council discussed next steps. Discussion about collaboration and utilization of public assets for the betterment of the residents and visitors of Placerville and the county, in general, took place before a direction was agreed upon. Thomas admitted a lot of new information had been brought forth as a result of this meeting and a path forward was not entirely clear. Taylor moved to direct staff to prepare a letter to be delivered to the Board of Supervisors prior to its April 6 meeting, outlining the council’s concern over the lack of transparency regarding the sale of these public assets. Borelli seconded the motion and after further discussion the motion passed 3-0. At the April 6 Board of Supervisors’ meeting Supervisor Wendy Thomas, whose district includes Placerville, pulled the item, approval of the sale of 515 and 525 Main St., from the consent calendar for further discussion. She went on to explain that she and her husband, Placerville Mayor Dennis Thomas, have worked with their respective councils and curtailed conversation on City Council and Board of Supervisors business to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest on this and other matters. County Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton offered a brief report detailing the process to date. In 2016 the buildings at 515 and 525 Main St., built in 1939 and 1936, respectively, were declared surplus and no longer fit for public use. The board at that time directed staff to explore options for use of the buildings. Staff received inquiries from at least two organizations — the then Arts Council and the El Dorado County Historical Society. Ashton said from staff ’s perspective it was a simple sale of the property since the buildings were not fit for public use. On Oct. 20 supervisors directed staff to prepare an agreement to sell the property to the historical society. That did not happen by the end of the year and in March El Dorado Gold 1848 asked the price be lowered to $100,000. The offer was agendized and staff was directed to go back to both parties (El Dorado Gold 1848 and the city of Placerville) for a “last and best” offer. El Dorado Gold 1848 was selected and the county proceeded with a purchase agreement. During public comment at Tuesday’s meeting Morris spoke about a possible sharing of the assets between the city and El Dorado Gold 1848. He clarified that the city would retain ownership of the buildings and that a historical mural inside would be preserved. Morris detailed meetings with El Dorado Gold 1848, during which he said board president Ott seemed amenable to the idea that would allow the city to be awarded the 2,000-square-foot annex building and his nonprofit the old U.S. Post Office. Public comment, much like that at the city council meeting, was split. The matter went back to the board for further discussion. “The county did follow procedure; we had offers and then some of the offers changed,” said Supervisor Sue Novasel. “I was taken aback by some of the comments that we had an agreement and we had somehow reneged on the agreement.” But she said she did have concerns regarding selling the buildings to a newly formed nonprofit organization. “I have long been an advocate for collaboration and I ultimately feel that’s in the best interest of city of Placerville residents and county residents,” said Supervisor John Hidahl, adding that he thought collaboration would strengthen the two groups and create a balance. “I struggle with why collaboration isn’t an alternative.” Supervisor Thomas offered a path forward that would include collaboration between the two groups in question. “These buildings are symptomatic of the deep divide in our community. We divide ourselves into camps and it did not used to be this way,” she said. “We need to recognize each other’s heart in this process. Both entities feel deeply about these buildings and in both of their proposals there is a deep intention and commitment to show up with love,” she continued. “A community is intended to hold space for differing passions and purposes.”
The District 3 supervisor suggested the two groups could complement each other and the buildings could be a symbol of coming together. She asked fellow supervisors to join her in a proposal that includes both entities, making a motion to reject the approval of the sale agreement to El Dorado Gold 1848 and direct staff to return to the April 20 board meeting with two separate purchase agreements. One agreement for the sale of 515 Main St. to El Dorado Gold 1848 for $100,000 and a second agreement for the sale of 525 Main St. to the city of Placerville for $25,000. Novasel seconded the motion. “The county followed a process. I think it’s time to execute what’s before us,” said Supervisor Lori Parlin, adding that there will always be opportunities for collaboration in the future. “Some of the divisiveness has come from the city itself and I think this is a good time for the city to reflect on how it does things and how it interacts with the community and the county,” said Parlin. Parlin then made a motion to approve the sale to El Dorado Gold 1848 as recommended by staff. Supervisor George Turnboo talked about the history involved with the buildings and seconded Parlin’s
motion to approve the sale. “They already have the $130,000; it’s already been in escrow,” said Turnboo. “The purchase agreement is already signed so we need to follow the procedure we set forth.” He added that El Dorado Gold 1848 had acted in good faith and the county should approve the sale, also in good faith. Ashton clarified that the agreement had been signed by El Dorado Gold 1848 and awaits board approval and the board chair’s signature. He further clarified that this was the first public discussion to make that decision. County Counsel David Livingston weighed in, saying sale of the property to a private entity would require a simple majority vote while a sale of the property to another municipality would require a four-fifths vote. The board voted first on the second motion made by Parlin, which failed 2-3. A vote for Supervisor Thomas’ first motion to split the properties and create two purchase agreements passed with Thomas, Hidahl and Novasel voting for and Turnboo and Parlin voting against. The matter will return to the Board of Supervisors April 20 with two sale agreements to consider.

DeRubeis opens new South Tahoe art studio Tahoe Daily Tribune
S
OUTH LAKE TAHOE — The DeRubeis Fine Art of Metal Gallery is open in South Lake Tahoe at the Chateau at the Village. There will be a grand opening with Chris DeRubeis making a live appearance at the gallery at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 10. The South Lake Tahoe location is added to the other DeRubeis locations in Key West, Fla.; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Las Vegas, Nev.; and two in Hawaii. “DeRubeis’ paintings bring to you the world of celestial abstraction that captures colored soaked light which appears to spring from De Rubeis’ art. With his soft lines, he weaves together forms of metal sculpture and paint to make his composition flow in harmony,” states the artist’s website. “Each work is a unique original as DeRubeis uses structures and waves of light to build weightless, diaphanous forms. Colors flow seamlessly from one hue to the next, while the transparency of his layers of paint creates the illusion of incredible depth.” Call the gallery at (530) 600-2838 to reserve a meet and greet spot. The gallery is located at 4125 Lake Tahoe Blvd., Unit B next to McP’s Pub in South Lake Tahoe. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.

Placerville where I worked. How things change. The rise, fall and eventually quick death of Blockbuster Video is detailed in the new documentary “The Last Blockbuster,” which is an on-the-nose named look at the final Blockbuster store on the planet Earth still operating today. Incidentally, the last location is a quick, eight-hour drive to Bend, Ore., if you fancy a visit. Director Taylor Morden gives a fun and informative birds-eye view on the past and present of this old cathedral of home cinema. Did you know that the reason we had video stores in the first place was a decision by the Supreme Court to allow independent retailers to purchase videos and rent them out to the public? Me neither. Apparently, studios saw that it was affecting their bottom line to allow people to rent movies instead of purchasing VHS tapes (ask your parents, kids) directly from the studio for the ridiculous price of $100 per videocassette in the early 1980s. The small video stores won that ruling and the birth of the local video store was born, only to be killed off by Blockbuster Video, which was owned by a studio (Paramount/Viacom) in the 1990s. It’s this kind of information when the movie is at its best. That, and the addition of entertainment “talking heads” by the likes of filmmaker Kevin Smith (“Clerks,” “Chasing Amy”), comedian Brian Posehn and former Blockbuster executives and franchise owners keep the film fun and informative. After the history of the mega-chain and the rental
industry (though curiously missing is any mention of Blockbuster’s largest competitor: Hollywood Video) is out of the way, though, the film feels like it runs a bit too long. This documentary could have easily been cut down to about an hour. Still, the cast keeps it lively and it’s an entertaining trip down memory lane for those of us who were alive to see it. I’m split on the demise of Blockbuster Video. On one hand, as a movie lover it was always fun to walk down the long isles of the store and discover stories and films I wasn’t aware of. The connections and friendships I developed along the way (specifically at the second store I worked at) I value to this day. On the other hand, the fate of thousands of good Mom and Pop video stores by the hands of this chain was heartbreaking. I personally loved going to The Video Movie House in Diamond Springs when I was a kid. The moment Blockbuster opened a few miles away, that store was gone, along with years of the owner’s hard work and savings. That’s the nature of the beast, but it’s still frustrating. Ironically, bad business decisions by what was once perceived as an unstoppable force contributed to the near demise of the Viacom-owned retail chain if it weren’t for the stubborn refusal of this last Blockbuster to expire.

Museum hits impressive TikTok milestone Traci Rockefeller Cusack Sacramento History Alliance SACRAMENTO — Even amid a pandemic when the museum was closed for nearly a year and only recently reopened indoors, the Sacramento History Museum at the Old Sacramento Waterfront reached a remarkable social media milestone: one million followers on TikTok. Already leading the way as the number one museum on the social media platform (measured by number of followers), the History Museum hit the huge milestone on Monday evening, March 29. The Sacramento History Museum began engaging on TikTok on Dec. 23 and posted what turned out to be a wildly popular video of 82-year-old volunteer docent (and Land Park resident) Howard Hatch working away in the museum’s print shop. That single video has had more than 17

Stop the presses — TikTok users love the Sacramento History Museum thanks to a video featuring docent Howard Hatch. million views to date and the number of views continues to increase
rapidly. “During the pandemic our dedicated staff
focused on finding fun and innovative ways to keep our museum top-of-mind,” said Delta Pick Mello, Executive Director of the Sacramento History Museum & Sacramento History Alliance. “Of
course, becoming a TikTok sensation was entirely unexpected, but we are enjoying the newfound fame — especially being featured nationally on NPR’s ‘All Things Considered’ — and are absolutely
thrilled to introduce the museum to a worldwide audience in an exciting new way.” With doors now open to welcome visitors inside at 25% capacity along with plenty of virtual activations available on an ongoing basis, the community is encouraged to follow the Sacramento History Museum on TikTok (@ SacHistoryMuseum) and engage on other social media platforms as well. The Sacramento History Museum is supported by the Sacramento History Alliance, a nonprofit organization that also manages the Sacramento Visitors Center, Old Sacramento Underground Tours, Gold Fever! Games, Anytime Tours and Living History Programs and also works collaboratively with the city of Sacramento to support the Center for Sacramento History.

In March Music in the Mountains and Rotary Clubs of Western Nevada County held their first joint Young Musicians Competition. Hear the results of that effort Friday night on YouTube. The organizations have nearly 50 years of experience in youth contests between them and had planned to combine their experience for this competition in 2020; however, due to the pandemic, the first joint competition was postponed. For the 2021 competition talented young musicians submitted their performances via video and professional musicians scored the performances and selected the winners. Winners will be announced during the April 9 virtual concert premiering at 7 p.m. on the Music in the Mountains’ YouTube channel, which will feature the top competition videos. “We are so fortunate to live in a community where partnerships like the one we have with Rotary can happen,” said MIM Executive Director Jenny Darlington-Person. “Thanks to the effort both groups put into creating a new path forward, students were able to continue improving their skills even during the pandemic.” During the virtual showcase the overall winner will be granted the MIM Paul Perry Award in honor and memory of MIM’s founding artistic director. This prize was open to all competitors. The showcase will feature 14 of this year’s competitors including the first, second and third prize winners in the junior and high school divisions, the Rotary Prize winner and several honorable mentions. The Rotary Prize winner is the top entry from a Western Nevada County high school. The Rotary
winner will advance to the Rotary District Competition. The showcase will premiere at YouTube.com/musicinthemountains. com at 7 p.m. Friday, April 9, and will be available through the weekend to view.
MIM Youth Orchestra Concert When the pandemic started in March 2020 the MIM Youth Orchestra quickly adapted to learning and making music via online conferencing software. Conductor Richard Altenbach has fearlessly led the group through a year of online and hybrid music learning, culminating in the fourth and final virtual youth concert at 7 p.m. Friday, April 23, at YouTube.com/ musicinthemountains. The program will include classical ensemble favorites from Bach, Beethoven and Bizet, as well as solos by several students and a faculty solo with Assistant Conductor Shannon Devir. The multimedia extravaganza will also include student artwork inspired by the music. Perhaps most exciting, an orchestra piece by young composer James Thomas-Rose will also be debuted. Rehearsing online for nearly a year was a challenge, but worth the effort. “I wish you could have seen the smiles on the kid’s faces as they arrived on their first day back,” Devir said. “They were so excited to be there, to see each other and to make music together.” In addition to the concerts, Music in the Mountains hosts Mondays with the Maestros. At 7 p.m. April 19 Artistic Director Ryan Murray will livestream on Zoom a program dedicated to Joseph Haydn, the father of the symphony.

and mastery of technique, as well as her ability to share her inspired vision with the viewer and to express her appreciation for this lovely floral gift. Anderson also paints landscapes. Looking at Anderson’s painting “Mendocino Morning,” the viewer is instantly transported to a time of an older California, an era when stone water towers dotted the land. The eye moves along a path to one of those towers. Anderson has captured the rustic feeling of the old stonework in fine detail, right down to a tiny window set into the tower. Not far beyond it is a white house set near the edge of the land, above a calm bay with the morning blue sky reflected in the cool blue waters of the Pacific Ocean behind it. Of the scene, Anderson explained that while exploring the area on an early morning walk, the soft light and the soft shadows inspired her to capture this scene, to give new life to what she saw and to share what she felt when she viewed it.
Repurposed As an award-winning jewelry maker and artisan, Morgan uses her resourcefulness and creativity to gather treasures that she turns into wearable art. As a retired elementary school teacher, Morgan had three decades of experience working with tight budgets, which taught her to make the most of the materials around her. Morgan’s creative vision gives her the ability to see the potential in practical objects, especially those that may have outlived their usefulness. While we might see a tarnished old tray in a second-hand shop as a pretty but mundane object, Morgan sees beyond the surface to the intricate patterns etched into the ware and her imagination plays off the patterns she discovers. One tray, tarnished black with age and neglect, caught Morgan’s eye. A thorough cleaning revealed the intricate patterns that Morgan likes to focus on. She cut various patterned shapes to “repurpose” the pieces she then assembled to make her unique jewelry. By cutting various shapes from this early 1900s tray, Morgan transformed it into one of her stunning silver plate necklaces, an airy assemblage of dome-shaped, coin-sized discs with elegant sworls, curlicues and delicate dragonfly wing designs. Morgan has dedicated herself to mastering metalwork, including forging and “fold forming” copper. Morgan said she especially enjoys the rich, warm color that copper lends to the jewelry she creates. For a copper embossed cuff, the artist used a thin sheet of copper pounded robustly to create this sculpted band that seems almost organic, inspired by nature. For Morgan, living in Northern California means she is never at a loss for inspiration. Gold Country Artists Gallery, 379 Main St. in Placerville, features the work of many awardwinning regional artists working in fields as diverse as fine jewelry, photography, fused glass, wood turning, pastels, colored pencil, scratch board and watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.

Artists invited to join Sac Open Studios tour News release SACRAMENTO — Verge Center for the Arts announces a call for local artists to participate in the 16th annual Sac Open Studios, the region’s oldest, largest and most prestigious artist studio tour program that celebrates artists and makers across the Sacramento region. In compliance with all state, city and county guidelines, the highly anticipated artist studio tour will take place in a hybrid format with a virtual artist interview series during July and August and an in-person artist studio tour during two weekends in September — scheduled for Sept. 11-12 and 18-19. As always, Sac Open Studios is free and open to the public. Registration is open through May 23 (cost savings for all artists who register on or by May 16). To accommodate all artists interested in participating, there are a limited number of scholarships available for those with demonstrated financial need and a committed studio to practice. To apply for a scholarship, interested artists are encouraged to fill out an application available via sacopenstudios.com (deadline is April 11).

Organizers are actively working to present the most diverse and inclusive self-guided tour possible by retaining existing artists and attracting new participating artists as well. The artist studio tour is designed to showcase emerging and established artists and studios in Sacramento
Know
