El Dorado County leaders are hope to make a biomass cogeneration facility happen. Supervisors at their April 12 board meeting approved the formation of an ad hoc committee with goals of formulating plans on locating and establishing such a facility. The ad hoc committee would consist of former county Environmental Management Director Greg Stanton leading the effort, District 4 Supervisor/Chair Lori Parlin and District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo. Turnboo is a long-time advocate for implementing a biomass facility in the county. “A biomass facility in our county would be a great thing,” Turnboo said. “Especially when you are talking about all the debris that is in our forests’ floors that we can take out and produce power and electricity, which would be awesome.” Biomass cogeneration is the process of simultaneously producing electricity and heat using plant-based materials, including waste wood, wood residue and forest debris. Stanton, who retired from the county in May 2021, was asked by Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton to return the same year as an annuitant employee to assist with the research of the proposed facility. The biomass project was added to the county’s strategic plan update in 2021. “We are at the point where it is time to have a serious conversation about site locations as well as the scope and size of the facility,” Ashton told supervisors. “We feel an ad hoc committee with a couple of (supervisors) to participate in those

Caldor can’t stop Sierra-at-Tahoe celebration Mountain Democrat staff TWIN BRIDGES — Sierra-at-Tahoe opened its doors and spun its chairs this past

PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

Saturday and Sunday to welcome back skiers and snowboarders for the first time since the Caldor Fire. This season would have been the ski resort’s 75th year of operation but the 220,000-acre-plus blaze caused too much damage to Sierra’s infrastructure. Sierra-atTahoe management was however able to muster a two-day anniversary celebration and open areas of the mountain that weren’t as devastated by Caldor’s flames. The blaze destroyed a maintenance shop, damaged chairlifts and killed countless trees at the ski resort that operates on a special use permit in the Eldorado National Forest.

With spring weather and plenty of sunshine, it was the first time many attendees saw the Caldor Fire’s impact on their home ski resort. The tenor of the crowd started out somber but quickly changed as old ski pals reunited and new friends reveled in remembrance of what was and the potential of what lies ahead for their winter haven. “This weekend is about reconnecting with our Sierra family, to share in the joy of what makes this place so unique and special and to allow our loyal guests the chance to process what happened, so we can all move forward with rebuilding it, together,” said Sierra-atTahoe General Manager John Rice.

E OAKS SENIOR CARE VILLAG

Rice described the anniversary as a needed “big group hug.” “The way the world is we all just kinda needed to come together and show our resilience and that we are going to take this place to the next level,” he continued. “It’s going to be different but it’s going to be great.” Long-time passholder Erin McEvoy said she has been riding at Sierra for almost half her life. “(Sierra-at-Tahoe) is where I met my husband and now we are teaching our son on the very slopes we skied together on,” she noted. “This will always be our home.” McEvoy was one of the many guests starting the

Sheriff warns of Gain skills in crypto scams prescribed fire Mountain Democrat staff The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has seen an increase in fraud involving cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, officials reported this week. Financial crimes detectives said these schemes typically start with the victim receiving a call from a party claiming to be a member of the Sheriff ’s Office, Drug Enforcement Agency, Franchise Tax Board or other similar official entity. Sheriff ’s officials warn that victims may be led to believe they have debts to settle or pending legal actions against them and will be encouraged to settle immediately by purchasing and sending cryptocurrency through a cryptocurrency kiosk, found in many convenience stores.

Unlike normal financial transactions, cryptocurrency transactions are often anonymous and may be difficult or impossible to trace. This makes them an appealing method for criminals to defraud victims and increases the risk that a victim will not be able to recover their lost assets. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and most other official agencies and utilities do not accept any form of cryptocurrency as a valid form of payment. Residents contacted by anyone demanding payment in cryptocurrency are advised to gather as much information about the caller as possible, consider terminating the call and calling the entity in question back directly from a known official telephone number.

EID bond sale due after Easter Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent El Dorado Irrigation District is due to sell its bonds in the week after Easter, said Finance Director Mark Price during a special board meeting April 11. The district was due to receive its bond rating April 14. The bonds, up to $80 million, are to pay down the unfunded actuarial liability from the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). The unfunded liability totaled $70.8 million as of the week prior to the Monday afternoon special session. CalPERS charges 7.5% on the unfunded liability. The taxable bonds are expected to sell for 4.06%. That will produce an annual cash flow savings of $460,000 – $1.2 million, adding up to approximately a total cash flow savings of $20.1 million, according to Price. The net present value savings would be $13.8 million. Though the selling price and percentage will be set at the time of the sale in the week after Easter, the bonds will officially close in May. April 11 the EID board approved the preliminary official statement. The

general manager will conclude the bond sale when the final details are nailed down. About 10% of the bond proceeds will be held in a special reserve account to protect against any future unfunded liability charge from CalPERS. The district’s senior obligations total $334.59 million. The district total revenue from water, wastewater and recycled water sales forecast for 2022 are $629,105,520. Additionally, the district normally would receive up to $3.5 million-$5 million in hydroelectric revenue and last year received $14.5 million in property tax allocations. Hookup charges are additional and are usually used to fund sewer lift stations, pipelines and flume replacements. Revenues also fund district operations and bond payments, with excess funds available for capital projects. The district has 42,957 water hookups, 24,397 sewer hookups and 5,557 recycled water hookups as of Dec. 31, 2021. The district delivered 37,774 acre-feet of raw water from a firm yield of 63,500 acre-feet of water.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

But equally revealing is the arrogance and bias the reporting on Hunter’s laptop revealed among wide swaths of media and big tech gatekeepers. Even today, most will not admit they were wrong.

Letters to the Editor Creating your defensible space this spring EDITOR:

y heart warms when I witness the beauty of spring burst into a panoply of color. To know that this miracle unfolds every year without fail inspires enormous hope. To know that soon a new generation of wildlife — from tiny quail to newborn opossums — will see this beautiful place for the first time also gives me a sense of responsibility to protect these precious creatures. This past March has been strange. While wildflowers have begun to bloom, the green native grasses are dying. These stark visuals coincide with multiple days of record high temperatures and very little rain. My neighbor — a retired forest service servant — has measured rainfall for decades. Even with fluctuations of drought and rainfall, there’s a clear trend downward for rainfall and upward for temperatures. According to his measurements, average rainfall had been 35 inches for many years. Two years ago it was 25 inches and last year it was 16.5 inches. Last summer you could look at a blade of grass and it would combust into flames. And combust it did. Those who realize summer fires are becoming the norm also conceive that this problem is complex. When we view the problem through a simple lens — that clearing every inch of our land of brush, shrubs, grasses and many trees is the only action to keep us safe — we don’t take into account the essential role these plants play in a balanced ecosystem and that biodiversity also contributes to our safety. Native grasses are a miracle source of food for bees. Perhaps you’ve witnessed our rapidly declining bee population. This is also true for many bird and mammal species. Since 1970 three billion birds have vanished from our planet. In the past four decades we have lost 45% of our insect species. Our biodiversity is in an exponential freefall — happening on our watch. The primary culprits are habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change. If you acknowledge we are not just stewards of human survival but also the survival of other

species, consider these two simple things when you clear your land for fire safety: 1) Beyond your 100-foot defensible space, consider leaving strategically located and flourishing native bushes behind. With all sources of shelter removed from one end of your property to the other, there’s nowhere for small animals to hide. Leaving a bush or two behind won’t make the difference between a fire reaching your home or not, but will make a difference in the lives of the wildlife you share your property with. Doing this will also spare a few extra leaves to combat climate change. 2) Wait until the cusp of spring/summer to mow native grasses. Not simply because bees need the flowers, but also tiny creatures give birth in grasses during the spring. Also consider just mowing as opposed to removing every inch of topsoil. I am not advocating for not protecting our families and neighbors, I am simply hoping we expand our idea of who our family and neighbors are. BONNIE DOYLE Placerville

Online sports betting EDITOR:

e are being bombarded with a flood of ads on network TV sponsored by Native American tribes in California opposing the possible expansion of online sports betting in our state. The claim is made that the public should oppose this because it will lead to an increase in gambling addiction, financial ruin and homelessness. It seems hypocritical — don’t the casinos operated by these tribes contribute to the same? One can only assume that they want to maintain their monopoly in this niche arena.

The Not So Weekly Daley

Explaining Maundy Thursday and related esoterica

nlikely, I know, but just in case you forgot, yesterday was Maundy Thursday. I always remember because my first younger sister was born on Maundy Thursday 1950. Mike and I only knew because our father was an CHRIS Episcopal priest and we had to know all those Christian feast days. We thought we were pretty special, knowing all that mysterious and “behind the scenes“ lingo and stuff that most people didn’t know. We were guaranteed to get a reaction whenever we’d say, “Our sister Bonnie was born on Maundy Thursday.” “So, what’s that?” Many would say. Later, in junior high, some Catholic wag, like one of the Hogan boys, would pipe up out of nowhere, “Hey, Daley, tell us about that Monday Thursday whadaya call it. Ha, ha, ha. Jaysus.” About that time, it seemed like we

were just a couple of dorks spouting dorky stuff nobody cared about. Fortunately we were always on Easter vacation that week, so all my classes didn’t have to hear it for the umpteenth time. Maundy Thursday happens to be one DALEY of the highest holy days of the Christian calendar. It’s known in church-speak as the “Triduum,” meaning three days, loosely. Led by the Last Supper, it precedes Good Friday, Day of Crucifixion (wherein lies another sad and complicated tale presaging Easter — the Day of Resurrection). What I knew then and what I know now are worlds apart. What I knew then was equivalent to knowing two words of Martian. After just looking up a few things in the encyclopedia and online, I’d say I now know about 18 words of Martian. Maundy is based on the Latin word “mondatum” for “mandatory” and was Jesus’ exhortation to his

In Britain the queen or her designee distributes the “Royal or Queen’s Maundy money” in a special red purse to a handful of pensioners every year. They are typically selected by their clergy or a church committee for being the most worthy or Godly throughout the year. Traditionally, it was a special commemorative coin or even actual money in 1 penny, two, three or 4 pence denominations. Even less known is the British term “Shere Thursday,” signifying men cutting their hair and beards for the Holy season. As a young altar boy or acolyte, I also learned how to determine Easter every year. As long as you can remember the formula or equation for it, you can’t miss, I’m fairly sure. And I’ll tell you before I leave. White is the color for priests’

vestments for any celebration of “feasts of the Lord … including feasts of confessors and virgins.” As near as I can tell, most different variations of Christianity have a slightly unique word or translation of one or more of these words. Some are very similar, some not so much. They’re kind of fun to explore. And it’s been a very long time since I even thought about these things. So happy Good Friday! Chew on that one awhile and throw in Shrove Tuesday and Mothering Sunday — and have a happy Easter. “C’mon Daley, tell us the secret Easter formula and make it shorter than the ‘Monday Thursday’ thing, which is a little spooky.” “Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.” Put that in your Easter egg basket and enjoy. Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

censorship. Did Facebook say, “Sorry? We shouldn’t censor such important discussion?” No. Did we see apologetic commentaries on CNN and MSNBC? I must have missed them. Maybe none of this is a big deal to you, but it’s a big deal to me. I make my living posting videos on digital platforms. I made two videos that suggested fears about climate change are overblown. I didn’t say climate change isn’t real. I didn’t say it won’t cause problems. In fact, I said it’s already caused problems. But because I said the fear might be overblown, Facebook’s climate-activist “fact-checkers” make sure fewer people see my work. I once got millions of views on Facebook. Not anymore. Nothing I’d said in my climate videos was wrong. In one case, Facebook’s own fact-checker admitted that I didn’t get any facts wrong. Still, Facebook continues to smear my work as “partly false.”

They even quote me saying something I never said! Yet even after I point that out, Facebook will not make a correction. Facebook, Twitter, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, Poynter Institute “fact-checkers” and most of the elite media are now part information-sharers, part leftist interest groups. I’m neither Democrat nor Republican. I don’t obsess over whether Hunter Biden got paid to do sleazy things and whisper in his father’s ear. If he did, I doubt that he had much influence anyway. I feel far more threatened when America’s big media don’t report facts, don’t speak up when censors are wrong and don’t remove mistakes when they’re caught making them. Apologizing for mistakes is something we teach little kids to do. Is that too much to ask of our media and social media giants?

Alphie JoAnn Liming (Holst) April 6, 1939 – Dec. 1, 2020

Happy Birthday in Heaven to our beloved Mother and Grandmother.We treasure every moment we shared with you and find peace knowing we will one day see you again. This is my mother, Alphie JoAnn Liming, in the June 11, 1975 edition of the Mountain Democrat as she ran for “fictitious sheriff ” during Wagon Train Days. She was such an amazing woman! At this time she was in a group called “The Apple Hill Gang". They did fake shoot outs during wagon train days. It was so awesome having a mom that wasn’t afraid to do what other woman may shy away from. She also opened her own real estate office in the 80’s, served on the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce, and was active in the tour industry for many years, traveling to many parts of the world, before finally retiring, eventually moving back to her hometown of Montana. She was the best mother, and greatest grandmother ever…so full of love. We love you and miss you so much momma. ❤ Kim My grandma was so sweet and beautiful. I think of her every day. Love you gramma, I know you see me from heaven and I hope you are proud of me! I wish you could have been at my wedding. I know you were there, but I wish I could have hugged you and you could have met Alex. You’d love him. Love you & miss you. ❤ Katrina My grandma is one of the only people that I knew who was able to answer any question I had, about anything, without any hesitation. I always admired how smart she was and I’ve never met another person like her… She was truly was one of a kind! I’ve made strides to grow and be a better person knowing she is watching over me and I hope I’ve made her proud. Love your smile & love and miss you more than ever. ❤ Ciera.

UM head coach, athletic director stepping down Thomas Frey Staff writer After one year as head football coach and two years as athletic director at Union Mine Matt Ray is resigning due to personal reasons, according to Principal Paul Neville. Ray will remain a teacher and a member of the football program’s staff. Defensive coordinator Kirk Anderson has been named head football coach while Scott Gilliland is now the school’s athletic director. Ray arrived at Union Mine in 2020 after more than a decade coaching at Antelope and East Nicolaus high schools where he won multiple section championships and more than 100 games. At Antelope he was the first football coach in school history and helped build the football program into a regional power on the field and in the weight room. More than a dozen of his players went on to play Division I college football. Ray cared about every student at Union Mine. He became the school’s athletic director during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and his first mission was to help the students become active again after being away from campus for months. He had each team on campus incorporate a weight room routine and several teams won league championships during his tenure as athletic director. Under his leadership, the cross country team hosted the first post COVID-19 CIF sanctioned event in Northern California and crafted a course from scratch on campus in January 2021. As the student-athletes prepared to get ready to compete again after more than a year away, Ray worked behind the scenes with cross country head coach

As athletic director, Matt Ray got Union Mine athletes back on track amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Kyle Fujitsubo to make the meet happen. Ray and Fujitsubo talked on a daily basis to clarify policies and regulations that were changing by the hour. “Matt Ray was instrumental in helping navigate the series of obstacles to host the first CIF-sanctioned event in the SacJoaquin Section since the pandemic began,” Fujitsubo said in the days following Ray’s resignation. “Without his support, we would not have executed the cross country meet.” Ray helped the track and field program get a new track, hurdles and pole vault standards. “He never wavered on his promise to look out for the Union Mine athletic program as a whole and hold everyone to the same standards of excellence,” Fujitsubo said. “He is responsive, supportive, loyal and competitive. You want him on your team.” As Ray walked across the new track and on to the football field for his first football practice as head coach

before the 2021 season, his dedication was felt immediately. He got parents heavily involved in the program and Friday night football games at Union Mine were the place to be in El Dorado County. The pageantry had the feel of a big time college football game and the Diamondbacks fans filled up the stands every home game. Even on the road, the D’backs had more fans than their opponents several times. On the field Union Mine won 89% of its regular season games and senior quarterback Calvin Owens was named the Sierra Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Owens simply didn’t make mistakes with Ray — a former Division 1 quarterback himself. He completed passes at a 68% clip and threw for three times as many touchdowns than interceptions. When there wasn’t an open passing lane Owens didn’t make a risky throw, instead he kept n

Subaru Winterfest greeted folks with winter giveaways, breakfast bro-ritos and free preferred parking, followed by a day full of fun with live music from Pixie and the Partygrass Boys and local favorite Boot Juice. Trail signs damaged in the fire and in need of replacement before the resort opens next season were raffled by the Sierra Education Foundation, raising almost $15,000 to support its programs. Olympic gold medalist Jamie Anderson came out to support her home resort by signing autographs and taking photographs with her fans. She also discussed potentially having a new trail named after her, as part of the proposal that has been submitted for new trails to be added in the

future. The action continued Sunday with legendary snowboarder Pat Moore and the Vans Methodology banked slalom competition that gave riders the opportunity to test their speed and style. The competition raised $34,000 with all proceeds going directly to support Sierra-at-Tahoe employees affected by the fire. Steve Van Doren, son of Vans co-founder Paul Van Doren, came out to support competitors and serve up his specialty waffles on a stick. “If you were there, you already know,” said seven-year Sierra employee Ryan Parker. “The stoke level was truly at an all-time high and the vibe of the Sierra family coming together to support each other and this mountain is something you can’t find anywhere else. It’s home. It is our family.”

helminthoeca, which is transmitted by the parasitic flatworm (or “fluke”) Nanophyetes salmincola. Nanophyetes salmincola occurs naturally in waters of Northern California and most of the north state can be considered the native range for the fluke. Dog owners are advised to be cautious and to keep their dogs away from salmon, steelhead, trout and other freshwater fish carcasses. The parasite cannot survive in cooked fish, is not harmful to humans and does not affect pets other than dogs. If your dog has eaten or is suspected of eating raw fish, watch for signs of the disease. Symptoms are similar to distemper and may include some or all of the following: a rise in body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness and/ or rapid weight loss. If signs of the disease appear, promptly take

your dog to a veterinarian. Salmon poisoning disease is treatable if caught in time. If untreated, death usually occurs within two weeks of eating the infected fish. Without treatment 90% of dogs showing symptoms die. While all fish caught or originating from streams in Northern California could potentially be infected, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife cautions that trout stocked in some waters in CDFW’s North Central Region, which includes El Dorado County, are more likely to be infected with the flukes that cause salmon poisoning disease. Folsom Lake was stocked in March and early April and Lumbsden Pond will be stocked this weekend, according to weekly fish stocking information available through CDFW’s Fish Planting Schedule web page at nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FishPlants.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fun is contagious, but it’s also subjective. Your success will depend on your ability to read the room. If you’re not in the room, as in an email or text situation, humor is a risk. The level of risk is commensurate with the payoff. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your fantasy life is going strong. As for these castles in the air — maybe you can’t live in them, but some of the ideas are practical enough to apply once you touch back down to earth. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mood: ambitious. You’ll push yourself. Because going after the larger experiences of life takes a great deal of focus and energy, it will require you to cut out distractions and bring your lower appetites into control. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Unless you are a DJ or a children’s party character, it’s probably not your job to make the people around you happy. So why not go where (SET ITAL) you’re (END ITAL) the happiest? Only you know the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life gets messy. The unexpected bumps, spills and overlaps are clues that we are, indeed, alive. Your mettle will be tested, and you’ll get the opportunity to tidy up, compartmentalize and prove just how cool you can be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New projects gather steam. The work is really just beginning, but encouraging early results are a glimpse of what you’ll get if you keep this up for the long haul.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The stage is set for rivalries to play out. Emotions run hot, alliances have been formed and the stakes are high. Even so, it’s not too late for mediation, negotiation and peaceful deal-making. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Shared creativity is a bond. Writing can unite people. Art can flirt with your eyeballs. A song can pierce you straight through and connect you with invisible thread to the others who hear and love it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As for the burdens laid on you by society, there’s always a way around it. If you can’t see it from where you stand, seek a perspective shift. Reading, travel and interviewing others are all valid ways to get there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If no one asks a question, nothing gets done. And if people keep asking questions, nothing gets done. Progress is asking the right question at the right time and getting answers before you move on to the next question. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know what it’s like to be the one who loves more, sacrifices greater and maximizes small returns. But don’t worry; this will not be your destiny forever. Prepare for huge love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will somehow be able to see things as your loved one does and though you may not entirely agree, your understanding of the other point of view will lift the relationship to a new level of ease.

discussions would be beneficial.” Since October 2021 Stanton has led a biomass facility working group, conducting research on smallerscale facility opportunities. “The challenge with a larger facility is that it takes much

longer,” Stanton said. “It is not as straightforward between siting, permitting and the emissions …” Stanton told the Board of Supervisors the working group is not gaining traction in its efforts. “I think the board will have

more success through an ad hoc committee and getting those serious discussions to be had,” he explained, adding he has plans to invite major stakeholders in biomass to future meetings to help the ad hoc committee formulate plans on an agreeable site for the county’s biomass facility. “This will benefit everyone involved,” Stanton said. Out of all the major stakeholders he said he and his biomass team have reached out to, including PG&E and Pioneer Energy, Sacramento-based electric utility company SMUD would be best to partner with. Biomass utilization is part of SMUD’s 2030 Zero Carbon Plan. “They have a clock ticking and want to get something done,” Stanton added. Ashton agreed that getting the two supervisors on board would be beneficial in the ad hoc committee’s biomass facility implementation efforts. “Do I see the board leading this effort? Not with Greg here leading but I think at times it will be helpful to pull people together when we demonstrate with political support,” Ashton said. Parlin, who noted she has worked with Stanton in introducing biomass stakeholders, expressed interest in helping the ad hoc committee in its efforts. “The politics are starting to

become important and I see the need for this now,” Parlin said. “Greg has done a great job but we need a little more ‘umph.’” District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl asked if Stanton considered linking with a biomass site Pioneer Energy is pursuing in Placer County. “The economies of scale say operating a larger facility is more economical from a standpoint of subsidies required to keep it operating,” Hidahl said. Stanton elaborated that part of the cost for biomass is transportation of the materials. “Hauling from Camino or from further up the (Highway) 50 corridor all the way to Placer County would not be economically viable,” Stanton added. The county has a list of locations for consideration of a biomass cogeneration facility, including in Camino at the old sawmill off Carson Road, the site where the county piloted a biomass program in 2019, according to the county’s Communications and Outreach Director Carla Hass. The Mountain Democrat asked Hass if other locations had been identified for a possible biomass facility but had not received a response as of press time. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to create the ad hoc committee and for Parlin and Turnboo to sit in on the committee.

Imperfect and beautiful

old Country Artists Gallery, an awardwinning artists’ cooperative in Placerville, features the work of Carol Clark, Jack Nissen and Barbie Smith in April. Meet the artists during Main Street’s Third Saturday Art Walk, 5-8 p.m. April 16.

Photos with soul “Development” has always played a strong role in Clark’s life and it motivated her to seek different ways to express herself artistically, initially through stained glass and pottery and then finding pure joy in creating fused glass art. But photography became an ideal way for her to share her lifelong appreciation of the beauty in the world around her. Clark snapped photos since childhood, from her first Brownie camera, a simple device made to appeal to children for the price of a dollar. She carefully framed the image in the viewfinder, held her breath and snapped the shutter, then sent the film away for processing and impatiently waited. How exciting for her to finally see her own snapshots. That enthusiasm certainly translates to her present work. Now Clark’s camera is a Canon, with various lenses and she has full control over the developmental process. Using her skill to reproduce what she sees in a way that moves the image beyond a simple twodimensional representation, she infuses the colors and textures of a scene with story and soul. Clark’s careful use of light and shadow creates a story

Wood art by Jack Nissen in her portrait of “Rodney.” A weathered, old ’49er dressed in clothing from a bygone era inspires an evocative response from the viewer, perhaps a wistful longing for simpler times or a touch of sorrow for the loss of a beloved grandfather. The backlighting of his beard and the highlights on his grizzled hands reveal his agedness as he directs his wizened gaze across the pitchfork he grasps. Clark’s sense of humor infuses her animal portraits, like the young black bear she caught rolling in a pile of wood chips, its paw raised in a gesture of “Hiiiii…!” But especially amusing is a young bear with its head buried in the pile, rump in the air, seeming

to search for something, “I Know it’s in Here Somewhere!” Clark admits she had trouble taking the picture because she was laughing so hard. While it may be difficult to choose a favorite landscape scene from her portfolio, her breathtaking image “Pyramid Peak Moon” stands out as a favorite. Clark put her photography skills to the test to develop this image. Located in the Sierra Nevada range near Lake Tahoe, the peaks arise stark and in sharp focus against a starless night sky, bathed in the light of a rising full moon to create an exciting, breath-taking moment. It is the spirit of excitement the young Clark had with her first Brownie camera snapshots that

Nissen is a self-taught wood turner and he proclaims that he has the scars and hospital ER receipts to prove it. If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then Nissen learned enough to know that wood turning is a skill that involves at least a little danger, but that the creation of beautiful wood art is worth the price. Nissen became a wood turner in an unconventional way when he wanted a humidor for his cigars, but didn’t want to pay $500 for one. “So I made my own $1,200 version,” he quipped ironically. It was worth it, as Nissen went on to hone his skills as a wood turner, creating more humidors, beautiful wood art and sumptuous bowls in a variety of shapes, weight, depth and detail. Nissen sets no limits to the types of wood he can turn into exquisite pieces, including a wide variety of salvaged wood, giving new life to what would otherwise become firewood or landfill. Apple, pear, cherry and sycamore woods find their way to Nissen’s lathe, as well as Chinese tallow, black limba and fishtail oak. Nissen adds interest to a unique ambrosia maple bowl with a curved beveling of the rim, while keeping an elegant simplicity in its shape. Sometimes, he adds small embellishments to his pieces like an inlay of mother-ofpearl, brass, copper or even aluminum. Nissen also uses an ebonizing process for some of his pieces like his ebonized oak bowl. He explained that many

Lake Tahoe artist entertains during dark times Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Local artist Mel Smothers entertained drivers with his fiddle as they waited in bumper-to-bumper traffic during the Caldor Fire evacuations. Smothers went viral when drivers recorded him playing his fiddle on the side of the road surrounded by smoke as residents left their homes and belongings, not knowing if they’d see them again. It was like he was playing violin on the Titanic. Most of the feedback was positive; although there were some less than kind comments. Smothers, who has studied Andy Warhol, said he knew this was his 15-minutes of fame and got the most out of his moment in the spotlight. News agencies around the country picked up the video of him playing but soon the publicity died out. “I thought, ‘OK, back to normal,’ and I knew I had to start talking to my friends again,” Smothers joked.

Spiritual place Smothers first came to Lake Tahoe from Sacramento on a backpacking trip with his older brother when he was 14. “For some reason, it clicked with me. I just loved it,” Smothers said. “Tahoe became like a spiritual place.” Every summer he came to Tahoe to work odd jobs. Then he’d go back to Sacramento for school in the fall.

Mel Smothers is seen playing the violin while residents evacuated during the Caldor Fire. His luck turned when he got a job as a park ranger, allowing him to buy a cabin near Echo Lake that he would later flip. Mel and his wife Liz continued to flip homes and in 1999, since money was coming in a little easier, Mel, then in his 50s, decided to go back to college. He received his master’s degree in fine art from University of Idaho and became an art professor. He taught at University of California, Davis for three years before landing a teaching job in New York City. Just like when he was a teenager, he and his wife would come back to Tahoe. “It’s been the same lifestyle ever since then,” Mel said. Even when they’ve been away, they’ve always considered

Tahoe their home.

Art and music Art is a huge part of Mel’s life. When you walk through the front door of their Tahoe Keys condo, you immediately enter his studio. A door to the left leads upstairs to the main living area but the lower floor is for Mel and the couple’s golden retriever, Peak. His watercolors cover the walls and a table; he’s using wood burned in the Caldor Fire to make sculptures. Book shelves are lined with art texts while fiddles and violins line one wall. He always had a love for visual art but Mel said his love for music didn’t come until he was in his mid-20s.

Smothers has been playing violin/fiddle for six years. “Me and my friends were part of the hippie generation,” he added. After hearing one of his friends entertain him with a banjo, Mel used winnings from a Bingo game at a Stateline casino to purchase a banjo and music book. He never quite learned the banjo but he said it ignited a love of bluegrass. So he turned to violin, which he also wasn’t great at. At this point, Mel was a middle-aged adult but he signed up for a music class in Carson City filled with little kids. When Mel and Liz moved

to New York, he auditioned and was accepted for a semester at Juilliard, where he honed his talent. “So, I’ve been dedicated. I spend half my time — originally I didn’t know I was going to spend half my time — but it’s now taken up at least half of my art time,” Mel said. He has regularly played violin for the last six years, taking Zoom classes and practicing at least three hours every day. In August 2021 the Caldor Fire raged toward South Lake n

the nominees for the 43rd annual Blues Music Awards. Wonderland received two nominations for Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year and Song of the Year: “Fragile Peace And Certain War.” The awards ceremony will be held in Memphis, Tenn., on May 5. “Tempting Fate” is the next chapter in Wonderland’s remarkable career, one already overflowing with countless, colorful, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. She spent the last three years as lead guitarist in blues legend John Mayall’s Blues Breakers and has joined the Alligator Records family as the first female guitar hero in the label’s storied 50-year history. But that’s not all. Her spinechilling, soul-deep singing matches her guitar prowess note for note. And she has a knack for writing songs that sound like instant classics. “Tempting Fate” finds Wonderland delivering 10 riveting songs, including five originals and one co-write. Her vocals range from raw and fierce to subtle and gentle. Her guitar work, on both six-string and lap steel, is often explosive and always melodic. “Carolyn is unique,

woods contain tannins, which react to a steel wool and vinegar solution to darken the wood, creating unusual and interesting effects. Some of Nissen’s pieces are as unconventional as the artist himself, allowing the wood to retain its “imperfections.” For example, the hole in a burl of wood is incorporated as part of the overall design of a bowl or plate, honoring the natural form of the wood. For most of his pieces, he brings out the complexity of the grain and texture of the wood with sanding and a light finish of Mahoney’s oil to enhance the wood’s silky sheen. Nissen invites you to touch his work, to hold it and feel its balance in your hands; the intriguing patterns, the smell of the wood and the silken finish make for a sensory experience that he loves to share. “California Gold” by Barbie Smith

Expressive brushwork Smith’s journey has always been along an artistic path, from her childhood pencil sketches to being an art student at San Jose State where she honed her skills, exploring painting with acrylics on small canvases and larger mural work. A deep sense of purpose and satisfaction resulted that she found in no other activity. A beginning oil painting class taught

by a friend became a life-changing encounter for Smith. She credits the many fine artists since, whose workshops and mentoring helped her to embrace the strokes made by brush and blade and inspired her fluency in the language of expressive brushwork. Her favored techniques include “alla prima,” a wet-on-wet style of applying the paint quickly without allowing it to dry between layers. A variety

of brushstrokes, strong patterns of light and shadow and the textures and colors found in nature provide balance and harmony to her work, especially in the California landscapes she paints close to her home. For example, her “California Gold” piece takes us to the top of a rolling hill blanketed with golden wildflowers. A cool, gentle stream moving away into the distance creates a feeling of serenity with muted colors and simple shapes.

History

Smith captures a peaceful and clear moment for us to appreciate the form and function of a living land surrounded by a “Mustard Glow.” She invites us to walk down a modest road to a field of mustard flowers and a glimpse of a rustic barn — a midday stroll in the countryside with a clear, light blue sky overhead and cool shadows beneath the trees. Her true inspiration comes from her wonder at God’s creation. “I try to reflect that beauty in my paintings,” she said. She loves the landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe, capturing the purity of the crystalline waters bounded by rough boulders, stately firs and magnificent mountains in her painting “Tahoe Shoreline.” Her deft brushwork implies the play of light through transparent waters of turquoise, cerulean and sky blue to the lakebed below — a scene that reflects her devotion to capturing the essence of beauty in nature and elevates her work to a higher plane. Gold Country Artists Gallery, 379 Main St. in Placerville, features the work of many award-winning, 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. The gallery is open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call (530) 642-2944 or visit goldcountryartistsgallery.com.

life and tales of the devastation, perseverance and determination that led to California’s only successful street-raising project. Knowledgeable tour guides provide entertaining experiences with various perspectives that may differ on each tour. Just in time for the 2022 season, new underground tour guides include the likes of Madame Fanny Lanos, Benjamin Franklin Hastings, Francis “Frankie” Bass, Dr. John F. Morse and Lorinda Washburn, just to name a few. Tour schedules may fluctuate with the seasons. Boom or bust … launching from the newly relocated Sacramento Visitors Center, 1000 2nd St., guests to the Old Sacramento Waterfront can experience what it was like to catch gold fever in the River City while getting actively involved in the intriguing Gold Fever! Game and tour. Participants take on personas of characters in history — or “real-life rascals” — who scratched and clawed their way to make this area the center of the Gold Rush. Never the same experience twice, Gold Fever! Game relives Sacramento’s early days when gold fever ruled amid horrible disasters that threatened fates and fortunes. To spice things up even more, elements of chance are introduced that could change the fate of tour guests. Through the course of the lively tours

that meander through the historic district, visitors discover if they successfully escaped the many floods, if they managed to keep their gold dust (or lost it all at the gambling tables) and if they survived the fires, disease and occasional steamboat explosion. Tour schedules may fluctuate with the seasons. All Time Travel Tour tickets include complimentary admission to the Sacramento History Museum. Guests who book an Old Sacramento Underground Tour and Gold Fever! Game at the same time (even if the tours take place on different days) receive special combo pricing. For more information or to purchase advance tickets for Gold Fever! Games and Old Sacramento Underground Tours visit sachistorymuseum.org. 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!, anytime tours and living history programs and works collaboratively with the city of Sacramento to support the Center for Sacramento History.

Public Notices  revision to the previously approved Creekside Plaza (proposed project) located in unincorporated El Dorado County (County). This Notice of Preparation (NOP) initiates the environmental scoping process in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 15082). The purpose of an NOP is to provide sufficient information about the proposed project and its potential environmental effects to allow public agencies, organizations, tribes and interested members of the public the opportunity to provide a meaningful response related to the scope and content of the SEIR, including feasible mitigation measures and project alternatives that should be considered in the SEIR (CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR 15082[b]). The proposed project and location are briefly described below. PROVIDING COMMENTS: El Dorado County is soliciting written comments from public agencies, organizations, and individuals regarding the scope and content of the environmental document. Because of time limits mandated by State law, comments should be provided no later than 5:00 PM on Monday, May 16, 2022. Please send all comments to: Evan Mattes, Senior Planner, County of El Dorado Planning Division, 2850 Fairlane Court, Placerville, CA 95667 Email: creeksideplazaarco@edcgov. us Agencies that will need to use the SEIR when considering permits or other approvals for the proposed project should provide the name of a contact person, phone number, and email address in their comment. Comments provided by email should include “Creekside Plaza NOP Comment” in the subject line, and the name and physical address of the commenter in the body of the email. PROJECT LOCATION: The Creekside Plaza Project site consists of three parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 327-211-014, 327-211016 and 327-211-025), totaling 4.39 acres, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Forni Road and Missouri Flat Road in the Diamond Springs area outside the incorporated city of Placerville, in El Dorado County. The project site is located within the El Dorado— Diamond Springs Community Region. The project site is located within the Placerville Quadrangle, Section 24, Township 10 North, Range 10 East on the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map. Surrounding land uses are existing single-family residential development to the north and northwest, while commercial uses are located to the west, south, and east. The property has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Commercial (C) and was rezoned from one-acre residential (R1A) to Community Commercial with a Planned Development combining zone (CC-PD) as part of the original Creekside Plaza project (Z10-0009/ PD10-0005/P10-0012) that the Board of Supervisors approved on December 17, 2019. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of replacing some of the previously approved uses including a convenience store, carwash and fueling island, which will replace the retail building at the southern tip of the property at the intersection and the Quick Serve restaurant/retail building with drive through. The mixed-use office use will remain the same, and no changes are proposed to the parcel intended for a conservation easement. The proposed project is requesting an amendment to a previously approved project (PD10-0005) and involves the following two related actions: 1) Planned Development Plan Amendment for a proposed convenience store, carwash, and fueling island, which will replace the retail building at the southern tip of the property at the intersection and the Quick Serve restaurant/ retail building with drive through. 2) Conditional Use Permit for a proposed carwash associated with a convenience store and fueling station. The proposed ARCO development would specifically consist of new convenience store of 3,489 square feet, a carwash of 2,100 square feet, a fuel canopy of 4,872 square feet with eight fuel dispensers, two underground storage tanks, and related site improvements and landscaping. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR 15063, the County is preparing an SEIR to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The purpose of the SEIR is to provide the public with information on environmental effects that would result from project construction and operation. The County anticipates that the SEIR will address the following topic areas: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Public Services, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources. Based on a preliminary analysis, the County has determined that impacts to the following topics would not be significant. Therefore, these topics will not be analyzed further in the SEIR: Agricultural Resources and Forestry Resources, Biological Resources, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing, Recreation, Utilities and Service Systems, Wildfire. Full documentation of the factual basis for this determination will provided in the SEIR. Unless specific comments are received during the NOP public comment period that indicates a potential for the project to result in significant impacts, these topics will not be analyzed further in the SEIR. SCOPING MEETING: El Dorado County will hold a scoping meeting to receive verbal comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental document and answer general questions regarding the environmental process. The meeting will be on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Station 49 which is located at 501 Pleasant Valley Road in Diamond Springs, CA. The County of El Dorado is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities are provided the resources to participate in its public meetings.

and residents were evacuated on fairly short notice. Cars backed up through the city, sitting in stop-and-go traffic. While stuck in the car, Mel decided it would be the perfect time to get in his three hours of practice. Several people started filming him and, before he knew it, people around the world had heard of Mel Smothers. “I’m not a great violinist but it’s just fun that this happened,” he said. Mel, who has white hair that shoots up all around his head and has small round glasses joked that it probably

looked like the ghost of Albert Einstein playing a tune. And that’s what makes him so enjoyable to be around. He doesn’t take himself too seriously; he just wants to have fun and make art. “If you love something, that’s sort of the key. It’s nice to have the talent and the love but I think you can make it with just the love,” said Mel. His visual art can be seen at melsmothers.com and his music can be heard on facebook.com/ melsmothersart.
