Grizzly Flat water district dry of funds, residents Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A major decrease in revenue has forced the Grizzly Flat Community Services District to reinstate a monthly charge to its water customers who lost their homes in the Caldor Fire. The community services district had only billed customers with surviving homes or those using the service since the fire, operating at significant financial loss monthly, according to district officials. The district released a statement revealing its reserve funds are nearly depleted. District leadership estimates they will have a revenue gap of more than $333,000 this year. The Grizzly Flat Community
Services District sent out a letter to all current and former residents, dated March 23, stating its intention to begin charging all property owners again, including those who lost everything and are no longer residing in the area. The fee is a flat rate of $68.97 monthly for water service. Grizzly Flat Community Services District General Manager Jodi Lauther said the district had no choice but to charge the fee, adding that it lost 400 service connections out of 622 it was operating before the Caldor Fire. Customers were displeased with the news. The Grizzly Flat Community Services District Board of Directors n

Proposed changes to central EDH plan to go public Sel Richard Staff writer Parker Development’s Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan project will be discussed at two upcoming planning commission meetings, announced District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl at this month’s El Dorado Hills Community Council meeting. “There’s been a lot of proposed changes to that and our county staff has been working with the developer to define what those new modifications are,” Hidahl revealed, regarding what he referred to as the project’s draft development agreement. The new agreement will be made public on April 14, when formal comments can be submitted. Parker Development’s project of 1,000 units along El Dorado Hills Boulevard is PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
scheduled to be heard at the April 28 Planning Commission meeting. This initial hearing will be conducted as an informational orientation as Commission Chair Jon Vegna is the only commissioner who was serving when the project was last presented several years ago. The commission will then hold deliberations on May 12, during which a final recommendation is anticipated to be forwarded to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors. The public is welcome to attend both meetings. The project has had a contentious history in the area as it hinges on a county General Plan amendment to allow the zoning for the defunct golf course along El Dorado Hills Boulevard to be changed from recreational facilities-high intensity to residential. In 2015 more than 91% of El Dorado Hills voters advised against the zoning change. In January 2020 almost 500 residents turned out to protest the project at a public hearing held at District Church. The Planning Commission’s final recommendation to the board was then delayed due to coronavirusinduced shelter-inplace orders as well as consideration of a new traffic evaluation metric, vehicle miles traveled.

Freeda Gorman, 85, and Janis Kawamura, 89, both Placerville residents, seem to be having the time of their lives and they hadn’t even left the ground yet at Saturday’s Heritage Flyers Foundation Fly Day 2022 event at Placerville Airport. Heritage Flyers is a nonprofit that encourages local veterans and seniors with an interest in aviation to get in the air again, taking about 130 folks up for roughly 15-minute flights over the Placerville area.
Heritage Flyers founders Gabriel and Gia Tyler, above, were glad to bring joy to passengers Saturday but it’s also a treat for them. “People think that this is a gift we’re giving these older folks and it’s really not — it’s a gift they’re giving to us. They get to go up and we get to see them become little kids again. The years just fall away and we get to see things from their perspective. When you see how they respond, how much fun they have, it just fills you up. They’re doing us the favor by coming out here (to Placerville airport). We (the pilots) come away from this on Cloud 9,” Gabriel said. Luanna Hamm, 87, right, of Placerville waves to her admirers as she prepares to board the U.S. Marine Corps Beechcraft Model 18 piloted by Andy Bibber. Nine pilots volunteered for the event.

Fatal crash ends in pond; driver suspected of DUI Thomas Frey Staff writer A 17-year-old Somerset girl was killed in a car crash Tuesday night that ended with the 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis she was riding in coming to rest upside down in a pond near Omo Ranch Road in south county. The Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol reported the driver, also a 17-year-old Somerset girl, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence. The two were traveling at a high rate of speed on Omo Ranch Road east of Mt. Aukum Road a little after 5 p.m. when the driver lost control of the
vehicle, striking several trees before reaching the pond, according to CHP investigators. The CHP’s collision report states the driver lost control of the vehicle “due to her impairment.” The driver was able to free herself from the Grand Marquis but was unable to assist her passenger. Passersby stopped and assisted in getting the passenger out of the car. The driver was wearing a seatbelt but the passenger was not, CHP investigators found. The driver was transported to Marshall Hospital for medical treatment and the passenger taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.

Fire Protection District Division Chief Paul McVay. McVay said the house, which was abandoned, was a total loss. A bystander was injured in the blaze and taken to Marshall Hospital for treatment. The bystander’s condition is unknown. McVay said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
The four-bedroom home sits on 85 acres, according to Zillow. The online real estate marketplace states the property was scheduled to be sold at a foreclosure auction. Crews from the El Dorado County, Diamond Springs and El Dorado Hills fire departments were called out to the fire, along with Cal Fire.

The other mapped out a 1,200-unit senior living facility on the unused executive golf course. Parker representatives made it clear neither alternative was meant as a change to the project in any way, offered merely as a response to commission requests.

influenced the path of the Caldor Fire. Little will describe the timber harvest plan and show photos to illustrate how active forest management may have prevented more acreage in the area from burning. Some of the areas discussed will be visited on the Forest Forum’s annual Field Tour and Picnic on May 7. The meeting will be in the banquet room at Teresa’s Place, 1235 Jackson Gate Road in Jackson. Social hour begins at 6 p.m., dinner will be served

held a community meeting March 29, where directors decided to keep billing all property owners with a connection to the water system. Lauther said many customers had negative reception of the fees at the meeting. “Some people say, ‘We totally understand. Here’s my check; happy to contribute.’ Then we have the people who are angry and think it’s a horrible thing we are doing, not understanding why we have to charge this,” Lauther said. Jared McVey lost his home to the Caldor Fire last year and he said he is not planning to return to Grizzly Flat. “In my opinion it is heartless for the board to consider the recommended action of imposing water service charges to people who quite literally lost everything in the Caldor Fire and are known to no longer reside in the area,” McVey told directors during public comment of the March 29 meeting. “Putting the moral side of things aside, this fee for a service that will not be used would seemingly never end because the outlook of selling our properties with the high number of listings competing for the low demand in what is now an undesirable place to move to is bleak at best.” Traci Barsuglia, who is currently living in an RV with her husband and battling cancer, said while she understands why the district is reimplementing the fees, she does not think those who are not using the services should be charged. “There are not enough people to keep their business going,” Barsuglia said. “They are not viable anymore. There is not enough houses to support them and I don’t want to support a water company I’m not using.” Barsuglia added that she and her husband will not rebuild their home. Lauther told the Mountain Democrat she does not know currently if the reimplementation of the

The district’s monthly revenue dropped from $48,000 to about $15,000. flat fee, which she also pays even though her own Grizzly Flat house burned down, will be enough to offset the district’s financial deficits. “It is a scary situation to be in,” Lauther said. “You have to keep your water district running. What would Grizzly Flat look like without water? I wish I had the answer to that.” Lauther noted that before the Caldor Fire the district was collecting $48,000 monthly from customers. Now remaining households send in about $15,000, which Lauther said is not sufficient to operate. “It’s very dire,” Lauther added. “What does the community do without a water district? It’s important to us that we’re here for the community. But right now we need the community’s help more than ever to just be able to survive through this.”
Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
TELEDENTISTRY Necessity is often called “the mother of invention,” and during the recent challenges in providing routine healthcare, groundbreaking innovations have aided the practice of dentistry. Teledentistry is a recent innovation involving a dental health professional providing visual examinations or a professional consultation via technology and digital tools such as video, to better serve their patients. Recent studies proved that teledentistry eliminated the unnecessary stress of getting to the dentist for many patients, especially those without reliable means of transportation or not living in close proximity to quality dental care. Teledentistry features also help determine if there is a dental emergency requiring an immediate office visit or if a patient’s condition can wait until his or her
next routine dental checkup. As part of their healthcare team we encourage our patients to make the commitment to do what it takes to keep their teeth and gums in the best of shape. Problems with your oral health? Turn to our dental team for comprehensive dental care, from an assessment of your existing oral condition, to restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and suggestions for at home dental-care regimens. Whatever dental care you need, you’ll find it at our office, where all dental problems are dealt with efficiently, effectively, and compassionately. P.S. In July of 1994, teledentistry got its first true opportunity when pictures of 15 patients’ mouths were transmitted from Fort McPherson, Georgia, to Fort Gordon, roughly 120 miles away.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Lauther said the district’s directors at their meeting April 14 will consider creating policy for customers who do not want to be connected to their system. The district currently does not have a policy that would allow customers to remove water meters. Credit will continue to be applied to customers’ monthly water charges until the credit has been depleted for those who applied credit to their accounts. No refunds will be issued unless the property is sold, according to the county. The district faces another problem. Replacement or repair of the water system’s supply lines and other infrastructure, including two pump stations, hydrogen pneumatic tanks and two storage tanks — all damaged by the Caldor Fire — could cost around $15 million, Lauther said. The district is currently looking to get government reimbursement for these repairs from the California State Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Lauther said 90% of reimbursement for the district’s infrastructure directly damaged by the wildfire could be paid through the FEMA Public Assistance Program, while Cal OSHA would front more than 8% of that bill. That means the district would only have to front less than 2% of the rebuild cost. In the meantime, Lauther said the district will continue looking into potential funding sources to help with system operations, but is having trouble. “We’ve looked into every grant you can imagine and none provide assistance for operating costs,” Lauther said. Lauther said they are currently inspecting all water connections. The Grizzly Flat Community Services District has provided water services to Grizzly Flat customers since 1987.

State’s gun restrictions are a failure
I
nevitably, the recent horrendous fusillade of bullets on a downtown Sacramento street that left six people dead and at least a dozen wounded generated demands for new gun controls in state that already has the nation’s most restrictive firearms DAN WALTERS laws. However, if anything, what happened just two blocks from the state Capitol underscores the folly of believing that “gun violence” can be meaningfully reduced by trying to choke off the supply of firearms — any more than the prohibition of liquor or the war on drugs succeeded. The state’s gun laws have hassled law-abiding hunters and gun hobbyists and some are in danger of being declared unconstitutional. However, Californians already own more than 20 million rifles, shotguns and handguns and are buying hundreds of thousands more each year. Nor have these laws prevented the lawless from obtaining weapons via theft, smuggling from other states or the illicit manufacture of untraceable “ghost guns.” California has Indeed, state restrictions the nation’s most have made the black restrictive gun market even more lucrative, mirroring the laws but they side effects of Prohibition have failed to and the decades-long stem the increase drug war. Initial evidence in gun ownership, indicates that those the availability who fired more than of illegal guns by 100 rounds in a street crowded with bar and criminals or gun nightclub patrons violence. probably were violating one or more gun laws. The two brothers that police arrested and are suspected of involvement in the mass shooting were charged with illegal possession of weapons — one for possession of an illegal, fully automatic firearm. So why, if California’s much-vaunted gun control laws have failed to choke off the supply of legal and illegal weapons, do politicians continue to claim that enacting even more will have an effect? Some may believe it, the evidence notwithstanding, while others want to appear to be doing something about a problem because they don’t have any other answers. And those who propose and enact new gun laws are often woefully ignorant about guns or even existing laws. In the aftermath of the shooting Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg lamented to a radio interviewer about California’s difficulty in reducing

Letters to the Editor Random act of kindness EDITOR: had the greatest experience at Sweetie Pies in Placerville this morning. My wife and I were approaching the front entrance and I made eye contact with a young man sitting near the front door and we exchanged smiles as I said good morning to him. He responded with a good morning and said, “Enjoy your breakfast.” I responded, “And a cinnamon roll as well.” He smiled back, agreeing that was a good choice. While sitting at our table we saw him at the counter paying his bill. A moment later he came over to us with two cinnamon rolls with a message to please enjoy them with his compliments. I had never seen this gentleman before, but his act of kindness was inspiring. I will be “paying this forward” soon. Thank you, young man, for your random act of kindness. It absolutely made my day.

Some pro-abortionists list Down Syndrome as a justifiable reason for abortion through eugenics, as if Down Syndrome people are sub-human and do not deserve to live. I don’t believe pro-abortion activists have evolved to this point of view, considering the founder of family planning, Margaret Sanger, gave many speeches stating proudly that through abortion we can use eugenics to reduce undesirables, including (her words) “the mongrel population.” Considering that all family planning clinics (abortion factories) are strategically located in urban areas with a high population of non-whites, it is safe to say that eugenics is alive and well through abortions.

Future generations EDITOR: can’t help but wonder, seeing the crowd (opposed to new development), how many children and grandchildren they represented and if they had any thoughts of where the future generations will live? I guess if you’re grumpy enough, the kids will just move away. MATT VAUGHN Cameron Park

Truck scale on Jacquier Road EDITOR: travel Jacquier Road a lot. While I don’t mind the temporary or permanent truck scale, it is in an odd spot. But, hey, if it works ... What I do mind is our tax dollars paying for the men/women holding the sign saying stop/slow. I’m all about safety. I make sure I wave to the men/ women to let them know I see them. However, do they think we cannot see a large truck entering and exiting? I’m sure Caltrans has a better use of those men/women and our tax dollars. BONNIE KELLEY Placerville

A Legislature that facilitates heroin use and lets mentally ill homeless terrorize innocents on the streets seems a little selective in the dangers it wants to police. to deny livelihoods and education and shut down debate surrounding COVID treatment and policy. Here’s hoping they don’t try to cut off banking and travel to the unvaccinated. Still, this collection of bills shows an unlimited appetite for punishing people into compliance. I’m sure the bills’ authors would scream “I follow the science!” The problem is, science isn’t policy. It is an input to policy. Policies are an expression of values, not equations. I’m sure science would show that high-speed impacts are deadlier than low-speed impacts, but that doesn’t tell us the speed limit. Like COVID, car accidents are “transmissible” to other people. But, even with “the science” and the risk to others, we don’t have turtle crawls on our highways. Why? Because all policies involve tradeoffs and there are competing values in the world. Freedom and choice, to name just two, are often ignored in Sacramento but they should be balanced against
other needs and desires in crafting laws and regulations. This is a point lost on legislators who want to cut off the world to those who don’t line up for the vaccine, even if they have natural immunity to COVID from prior infection. The 100% safety COVID puritans who imagine zero-COVID fueled by unquestioning obedience forget the experiences of the past two years. They forget the millions of closed businesses, the lonely elderly who died without the comfort of their families or the masked and isolated children whose educations and mental health were sacrificed to zero COVID. A Legislature that facilitates heroin use and lets mentally ill homeless terrorize innocents on the streets seems a little selective in the dangers it wants to police. COVID has been granted its own risk category, superior to all others. It makes no sense. California is turning into the least

the number of guns, saying, “You just have to go to a gun show in Reno to buy an assault weapon without a background check and come right back to California.” Advocates of more laws often cite a “gun show loophole” but it’s a myth. Under federal law, one must be a resident of Nevada and undergo a federal background check to legally buy a gun in Reno. Moreover, while California professes to have banned “assault weapons,” the state’s definition of them involves cosmetic features rather than their lethality. Perfectly legal semi-automatic rifles that lack those features are available for sale everywhere in the state. The newest effort at gun control in California, backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, would authorize personal lawsuits against the manufacturers and sellers of illegal assault rifles or ghost guns, mirroring a new Texas law allowing suits against
those who perform abortions. The legislation, Senate Bill 1327, is just a stunt — one of Newsom’s periodic jabs at a rival state. Those who could be sued under the bill are already committing criminal acts in California and a federal law prohibits suits against manufacturers of legal firearms, including the “assault weapons” that California and a few other states purport — but fail — to outlaw. The bottom line is this: Actor Alec Baldwin’s claims notwithstanding, guns don’t fire on their own. Someone must accidentally or purposely pull the trigger and that should be the focus of efforts to reduce violence — such as more vigorous enforcement of laws banning gun possession by felons and those under court order. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

For now, just notice. Determine what’s under your control and focus there. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can only do so much by yourself. Share ideas with a group. Seek those with different but complementary skills. You’ll find you can help one another accomplish goals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Before something exists, it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, it’s often unimaginable. Maybe right now you can’t quite find a hopeful image to wrap your head around, but can you have faith in the unimaginable future? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Add joy to your day proactively and you’ll avoid unwanted overindulgences. Trying new things counts, too, as it’s possible that you have yet to meet the activity or interest that will bring you much continued pleasure. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When territorial instincts are triggered, all bets are off. Such issues hit at a primal and irrational level of being and will not be settled through logic — but you’ll find other ways to harmonize the situation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The important things will take longer than you expect because they are more involved than they seem on the surface. This pace is perfect, though; it gives you time to develop skills to meet the complexity of the situation.

Last minute tax tips
What you need to know before filing News release SACRAMENTO — The Franchise Tax Board this week offered key tips for California taxpayers before the April 18 filing deadline. “This year everyone has three extra days to file and pay their taxes, thanks to the observance of Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C., an IRS-recognized holiday that falls on April 15,” said State Controller and FTB Chair Betty T. Yee. “With tax day just a week away I want to be sure Californians are aware of free filing services and valuable cash-back credits available to them.”
Boost your refund
Millions of low-income, working Californians might qualify for hundreds or even thousands of dollars by claiming California Earned Income Tax Credit and Young Child Tax Credit on their tax returns. Taxpayers with earned income of $30,000 or less
might be eligible for CalEITC, which can provide as much as $3,160 for a family with three or more children. Filers qualifying for CalEITC may also be eligible for up to $1,000 in YCTC if they have one child younger than 6 at the end of the tax year. Combined, CalEITC, YCTC and the federal EITC can have a significant financial impact on many low-income individuals and families. To learn more about these valuable credits visit ftb.ca.gov/caleitc.
for a list of VITA locations statewide.
Free tax help

Free in-person tax preparation is also available for low-to-moderate-income taxpayers through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Visit ftb.ca.gov and search for free tax help

Check your refund online
Those who have already filed and expect a refund can use the Check Your Refund Status tool at ftb.ca.gov. FTB also provides this service in Spanish. In addition the MyFTB account service allows taxpayers to view their tax documents, check balances due, access tax calculators, send secure messages to FTB staff and more. California taxpayers get an automatic extension to file until Oct. 17 this year. However, any taxes owed must be deposited or postmarked by April 18. Taxpayers who are unsure of whether they will owe money can refer to FTB’s tax calculator.
Pay online
Taxpayers can also pay with web pay directly from their bank accounts.
Payments are also accepted by MasterCard, VISA, American Express or Discover for a service fee of 2.3%.
Apply for a payment plan FTB recommends taxpayers file returns on time and pay to avoid penalties and interest. Payment plans are available for taxpayers who face financial challenges. Those who owe $25,000 or less and can repay the balance due within five years generally qualify.

“W
e truly believe that if we can make our kids healthy and whole and reach their fullest potential they’re going to eventually build even better communities,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra Chief Executive Officer Brenda Frachiseur. With that in mind, the organization has launched its Building Brighter Futures and Better Communities campaign. In 2019 Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Dorado County, established in 1977, merged with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada County, established in 1979.
This move streamlined staffing and established a far-reaching Northern Sierra territory spanning from El Dorado Hills to North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, Nev., into Nevada City and Grass Valley and to Auburn and across the Divide, according to Frachiseur. Combining the organizations resulted in an expanded reach while contracting staff and liabilities has enabled the organization to commit more resources to programs and services. Frachiseur has been in the nonprofit world for a very long time. Before she began working with BBBS in 2013 she was the assistant state director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and prior to that served as the program and development director for United Cerebral Palsy in Sacramento. Another change that will aid in the organization’s overall productivity, according to Frachiseur, is a recent move
to new headquarters. In late February the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting for the new 1,500-square-foot space on Main Street in Placerville — a big change from BBBSNS’s previous 3,500-square-foot office in Cameron Park. “We learned during COVID that you can do a lot of things a lot differently,” said Frachiseur. With staff working from home during the lockdowns they quickly realized less space was needed to accomplish the work done by administrative and program staff. “Most of our work is done out in the community anyway,” she added. “We don’t all need a private office.” The staff chiefly works at a large, shared table in the middle of the main room when working in the new office. Case managers tend to share ideas and resources on any n

Rolling Hills middle-schoolers learn something new Sel Richard Staff writer

olling Hills Middle School students were recently treated to classes in balloon animal making, firefighting, bugs and everything in between. “It exposes them to different activities,” said Principal Debbie Bowers, who launched her first Learn Something New Day in 2018. COVID shutdowns imposed a two-year hiatus, but Bowers is delighted to be back running an event that has her students eager to be at school again. “Kids were so excited to sign up for their class; we recorded only four tardies on enrollment day,” she shared with a grin. Teachers were asked to either teach something themselves or recruit a community member to lead a class. Volunteer Allan LaRock imparted some poker tactics and Priscilla Bilyeu showed kids how to create wire gem jewelry while Kali Martin taught sign language. Bowers also invited community organizations to participate. Body Combat, West Coast Martial Arts, Clark Pest Control, My Clever Canine, Snug Spot Comics, DJ Roberts and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department all ran sessions. The student council paid for the day’s supplies. Bowers said the idea was sparked by a desire to encourage kids to enjoy the act of learning, “It’s trying to bring back that passion for kids,” she said. “School is supposed

You’re supposed to enjoy coming here.” And Bowers cites additional benefits such as students finding other classmates with similar interests as well as creating a connection between students and adults on campus. Seventh-grader Alena Mack said she looked forward to making flowers in volunteer parent Rachel Hubbard’s dessert art class, one of the most popular options. “I like art and it seemed fun to incorporate art with doing dessert,” she said as she prepared to fold flowers. For another favorite section,
life fitness teachers Eric Nowag and Matt Heglie spent a weekend building obstacles for the mountain bike obstacle course. Nowag, who started a mountain biking club at the school this year, thought the course would be a way to sustain interest for the club. Lucas Vanvelzer was thrilled, especially since he was unable to get into the club. “I’m good at mountain biking,” the sixthgrader replied as to why he picked the obstacle course, quickly pointing out the teeter totter as his favorite obstacle. Groundskeeper Michael Lee demonstrated how to use all
the parts of a chicken, which budding chefs and gourmands alike enjoyed. “I wanted to see how to cook a chicken,” declared sixth-grader Adi Henry as he watched Lee chop up chicken parts. And even though eighthgrader Gwendolyn Fu doesn’t have a dog, she was curious about the dog training session. “I just thought it would be really interesting to see how other people train dogs and to see the work and dedication they put into it,” she shared. Bowers said her students’ most frequent complaint is n

Brothers Rob, left, and Ken Burkey have opened a church centered around service and the community. Live58 Church is located in the EDH Business Park.
Live58 Church has a service-focused mission
S
mall and intimate, El Dorado Hills’ Live58 Church is a humble but heartfelt affair. Brothers Ken and Rob Burkey are the founders. The new church nestled in the El Dorado Hills Business Park has a pared down, minimalist vibe, which suits the Burkeys just fine. “It’s based on a chapter in the bible, Isaiah 58,” teaching pastor Ken explained about the church’s name. “People are asking God why he isn’t answering their prayers and why isn’t he impressed by all of their religious activities. God answers them in the chapter and says it’s because you’re ignoring justice; you’re not feeding people who are hungry; you’re not sheltering people; you’re ignoring people.” “Safe, Simple, Servant Focused” are the words which grace the foyer of Live58 Church and those principles guide the Burkeys. In particular, they strive to serve communities through
established partnerships, an attempt at efficiency and what they call “not re-inventing the wheel.” Formerly with Green Valley Community Church in Placerville, both Ken and Rob left to pursue other avenues within their faith. While Rob, Live58’s executive pastor, spent a decade serving at a church in Pittsburgh, Pa., Ken traveled internationally, working with Live58.org, a nonprofit organization that produced a movie based on churches around the world that serve communities in the way Isaiah 58 advocates. In teaching the concept of Live58 to churches, Ken recounted trying to help connect nonprofits to churches and vice versa. “Neither one had a plan,” he said. “The churches were reinventing stuff that nonprofits were already doing a great job at.

he 12th annual Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference Toiletries Drive benefited those who lost their homes in the Caldor Fire as well as those in the community struggling to make ends meet. Seven local elementary schools collected more than 6,900 items during the two-week drive held mid-February. Hands4Hope community engagement interns from Folsom, El Dorado Hills and Placerville contacted elementary schools in their geographic areas of focus to encourage them to host toiletries drives. Each school advertised their drive through posters and flyers that included information about the items to collect such as dental supplies, body wash, sunscreen, tissues and lotion. In addition, Datwyler Orthodontics in El Dorado Hills hosted a collection. All the donated toiletries were picked up from participating schools, sorted and counted by Hands4Hope youth volunteers at afterschool events. The toiletries will be donated to various agencies throughout El Dorado and Sacramento counties, including Loaves & Fishes and Green Valley Community Church, as well as distributed to people directly

Additionally, the toiletries have been well received by families benefiting from the Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference Emergency Food Pantry in Placerville. Traveling Trophies are given to the schools that collect the most toiletries in each geographical area. The 2022 winners of the Traveling Trophy are Jackson Elementary, Gold Ridge Elementary and California Montessori Project. Hands4Hope also sends out a huge thank you to Natoma Station Elementary, Oak Meadow Elementary, Country

“Through the food bank we have a lot of connections with seniors,” 275119 he said. “Then we find this place, which is around all these retirement areas, and it’s been really fun to see people walking to church and just connecting. We’re just at the beginning of seeing what the needs are of this community.” The Burkeys strive to keep services no more than an hour long, advocating that members expend effort among their families and neighbors. “It’s a practical message that challenges us and then we all leave here and we go out and just live it out in our communities and love people,” Rob said. “It’s more about going out than it is coming here.” The church boasts classrooms and a play area for kids as well as a sanctuary that holds only 150 people, affording a familiarity with their members of which the Burkeys are protective. “Coming from a big church, maybe a few thousand people, I was just going in a lot of different directions,” said Ken. “I love the pace of here. I’m enjoying preparing and really thinking what are the needs walking through these doors — what are people living. It seems more like family. It’s a good thing.” “We’re starting from scratch and we’re doing something that I think makes a difference in people’s lives,” said Rob. “To be able to be a part of something like that and see it grow and see people begin to catch that vision is really cool.” For more information visit Live58. church or live58church on Facebook and Instagram.

nonprofits were so busying doing, they were forgetting the huge resources over here in the church world.” “That kind of inspired us to do this,” Ken continued, admitting though it was often suggested, he never considered starting a Live58 church. After a while the idea stuck and, before they knew it, the Burkey brothers were starting their own church, the first of its kind. The fledgling ministry has already established several partnerships, including the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank, which collects and distributes groceries to the needy. Growing Past Today brings food and clothing to unhoused families. World Vision’s Water for Life strives to bring clean water to people worldwide. Live58’s reach extends as far as Tijuana, Mexico’s La Misión, which feeds and educates children. And the church will soon adopt a family through World Relief to help Afghan refugees establish themselves in the Sacramento area. And the Burkeys continue to look for more ways to help. Although Live58 just opened September 2021, it offered an online presence for several months prior, which Rob credits for the church’s regional reach — the congregation hailing from Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Roseville as well as El Dorado Hills. The YouTube channel is a permanent option for those unable to make services in person. With their location being proximate to several senior communities, Ken said he’s pleasantly surprised to serve a population he has long honored.

Country/bluegrass legend Marty Stuart to take The Center stage News release Legendary country-bluegrass artist Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives will perform in the Center for the Arts’ Marisa Funk Theater April 14. The multi-instrumentalist best known for his mastery of the mandolin is including Grass Valley on his band’s most current tour in support of its 2021 release, “Songs I Sing In The Dark.” Stuart began playing the mandolin as a child and excelled in doing so, prompting him to join a gospel band at the age of 12. By 1980 he was performing alongside Johnny Cash, whose band he had joined, and had taken on guitar as well. Throughout his decades-long career he has collaborated with such renowned artists as Travis Tritt, Connie Smith, Cash and others. Stuart was prominently featured in the PBS’ 2019 documentary “Country Music,” directed by

that they can only sign up for a single class. To accommodate this, she plans to run the event twice yearly going forward. “We haven’t felt a positive energy like this in years. The kids are excited and the teachers are excited,” Bowers said, mentioning a Magic the Gathering class in which students learned strategies for the collectable card game. “I walked into the room and there were all of these kids who have similar interests but never would have found each other before. We talk about social emotional learning and there are so many things we can do for that but this kind of stuff is really what does it.”
filmmaker Ken Burns. In addition to winning multiple Grammy awards, Stuart was inducted into the infamous Grand Ole Opry in 1992, the highest of honors to be bestowed upon a country performer. “They invited me to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry,” Stuart said. “If you are going to be a country musician, it’s an essential. It’s a milestone and a badge of honor.” Stuart will be backed by his band, The Fabulous Superlatives — musicians who hold their own on bass, drums and additional guitar. A legend in the country-western and bluegrass worlds, Stuart performs with passion he has his entire career. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Center for the Arts’ Marisa Funk Theater, 314 West Main St. in Grass Valley.

given day, according to Frachiseur, so an open, shared workspace lends itself to the type of work done when onsite. With rotating schedules and considerable in-community work, the staff has ample space and the support they need to carry out their work. The Northern Sierra office serves about 200 kids a year said Frachiseur. Bringing on more kids means bringing on more program managers and match specialists. The bottom line for Frachiseur is more resources are needed to serve more children. “When I started our needs were a lot less,” said Frachiseur. “The needs of the community were a lot less.” She said she could list the various traumas and situations that necessitate strong mentorships for so many youths, but sufficed to say the need continues to grow. “They don’t seem to go away,” she said. Like so many nonprofit organizations, BBBS continued to pay rent during lockdowns while offices were shut down and employees were working from home. This further highlighted the enormous amount of resources wasted on office space no longer needed.
The building on Main Street comes at a significantly lower monthly cost while serving the needs of the organization. The visibility in the new location is a definite bonus as the previous headquarters was tucked away in a cul-de-sac in Cameron Park, where no one came down the street unless they were looking for BBBS, according to Frachiseur. “We’re right here on Main Street so we can show that we are a resource for our community,” she said. “It’s nice to be seen; people know that we’re here.” Sue Vandelinder, who has served on the board for more than 10 years and continues to operate as co-treasurer said the financial considerations alone made the move a natural step toward better efficiency. “It makes a whole lot of sense when you can be independent,” she said. “The lease we had, a triple-net lease, meant we were responsible for everything that goes wrong.” In the new building, maintenance costs are a factor as well but BBBS of Northern Sierra will own the building. Once it is paid off, money can be put aside for a rainy day or maintenance fund to cover those
needs, Vandelinder explained. “Besides the visibility, this gives us a smaller footprint from which we need to make repairs and we have ownership of it,” she said. The capital campaign is aimed at paying off the new building. “$280,000 is what we owe,” said Frachiseur. Key relationships have helped to kick off the fundraising effort. Vandelinder, who is the divisional vice president for Waste Connections — El Dorado Disposal, said a fundamental tenet of the Waste Connections culture is philanthropy. So she felt confident approaching CEO Worthing Jackman to help fund the capital campaign. “He said, ‘Of course, we can,’” she said. “So El Dorado Disposal contributed $30,000.” The $30,000 was above and beyond the annual donation BBBS receives from Waste Connections’ annual Golf Classic for Kids. The popular charity event raised more than $1 million last year and roughly $100,000 of that went directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra, according to Vandelinder. Once the building is paid off the
significant decrease in overhead will mean more resources to devote to programming, according to Frachiseur. “It costs us about $2,000 a year for each child,” she explained. “So every $2,000 a month we spend on this building costs us a year with a child.” There are more than 50 kids on a waitlist to be matched with “Bigs,” the CEO noted. “If we had $500 for each kid we serve over the next two years, we could pay this building off,” she added. “If everyone gave a little, we’d be there,” said Vandelinder. “Bigs” are asked for at least a one-year commitment when volunteering as a Big Brother or Big Sister. However, many mentorship relationships last several years, Frachiseur said. Some go well beyond childhood, she shared, reminiscing on several relationships that carried well into adulthood, with some “Bigs” driving their “Littles” to college campus visits while others have been Best Man at a “Little’s” wedding. For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters if Northern Sierra, to become a “Big” or to give to the capital campaign visit bbbsns.org.

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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holder’s rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 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 (855) 882-1314 or visit this Internet Web site www.Hubzu.com, using the file number assigned to this case 21-25725. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 882-1314, or visit this internet website www.Hubzu.com, using the file number assigned to this case 21-25725 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc. com, using the file number assigned to this case 211227257. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website site www.tlssales. info, using the file number assigned to this case 211227257 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

the will or estate, or both, of JORGE A. HURTADO A PETITION for Probate has been filed by LISA AYLESWORTH in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that LISA AYLESWORTH be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: May 11, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

What did one raindrop say to its friends? Two’s company. Three’s a cloud. When is weather worst for mice? When it is raining
Why does it rain?
There is water all around us—on the land and in the sea. This water evaporates and rises into the sky as vapor. The vapor in the sky turns to water droplets and makes clouds. The water drops fall from the sky as rain. The rain goes into the ground and into the sea. Then, some of the water from the rain evaporates back to the sky and makes clouds again.

boiling water
ice cubes
aerosol hairspray
AN ADULT SHOULD DO THIS PART:
1. Fill your jar half full of boiling water and swirl the water around the jar. 2. Spray hairspray into the jar and quickly seal with the lid.
KIDS CAN SAFELY DO THIS PART:
3. Place as many ice cubes as you can on top of the lid. 4. Observe the cloud forming inside the jar. 5. When you can see the cloud, take off the lid and watch the cloud escape.
What does the ocean do when it is leaving? It waves.

Warm water created warm air inside the jar. Some of the water evaporated into the air. When this warm vapor rose, it reached the cold air below the ice-covered lid. This vapor then condensed onto the particles of hairspray forming the cloud. Your cloud should swirl around as the warm air rises and the cold air sinks.
