Prevention Flag will be raised to remember children who have died due to abuse, violence and neglect. Each year more than 3 million cases of child abuse are reported in the U.S. and more than 1,700 children die as a result of abuse and neglect, according to county Child Abuse Prevention Council Commissioner Victor Antonio. He is also the executive director
of New Morning Youth and Family Services. In 2021 there were 226 cases of abuse/or neglect reported to county Child Protective Services that were investigated and found to be substantiated, according to Child Welfare Services data. “I’ve seen and read the tragedy n
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A man convicted of murdering a gas station attendant at Lake Tahoe in 2013 was sentenced this week to life in prison. Sean Thomas Donohue was handed the Sean Donohue 50-years-tolife sentence on Wednesday for the cold-blooded killing of Manpreet Singh by Judge Suzanne Kingsbury in a South Lake Tahoe courtroom. Singh’s family was not able to travel from India to face their son’s killer but they did provide a powerful impact statement, where they described that the murder of their son resulted in their lives being over, stated a news release from the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. Singh immigrated to Lake Tahoe for a better life for he and his family and, at 27, his life was taken for no reason at all. Kingsbury spoke about the overflowing effect of this homicide; how Singh’s family will never experience the joys of watching him grow up, have babies, have a career, and, for them, this horrific murder has forever changed their lives for the worse. District Attorney Vern Pierson and Deputy District Attorney Kassie Cardullo argued for the maximum sentence of 50 years to life. South Lake Tahoe police detectives and FBI agents filled the audience, as they worked alongside the District Attorney’s Office to

Harkin previously lived in Marin and Santa Rosa before making his way up the West Slope in 2006 with wife Michelle. They have three children. As a child he and his family would camp in El Dorado County and had a cabin near Strawberry.
Though he has not served on a commission or committee before, Harkin told the Mountain Democrat he is an involved Pollock Pines community member. “There are a few projects that take place here at Z Group that the agents take part in, like the Wagon Train and the Pollock Pines Cleanup Day,” Harkin said.

achieve justice for Singh. “There is no sentence that will bring Manpreet back or heal the wounds created by Mr. Donohoe when he decided to take Manpreet’s life,” stated DA officials. “But we are hopeful MANPREET SINGH that his conviction and life sentence will bring at least some peace to his family and the community.” Singh, while working at the US Gasoline Station on Lake Tahoe Boulevard was shot and killed on Aug. 6. Donohoe was wearing a mask and all-black at the time of the murder, and walked out of the gas station without being stopped, the Tahoe Daily Tribune previously reported. The case went cold until 2020 when a tip led police to Donohoe, who was in Las Vegas at the time. The Cold Case Task Force, which was a collaboration between the DA’s Office, Sheriff ’s Office, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, Department of Justice, Bureau of Forensic Science and Federal Bureau of Investigation, traveled to Vegas to interview involved parties. The DOJ and Bureau of Forensic Science matched DNA evidence found at the scene to Donohoe. On May 12, 2020, with the help of the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Donohoe was arrested. Donohoe was found guilty by a South Lake Tahoe jury for murder with use of a firearm.

Proposed law would align fire policies Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — New legislation recently introduced into the California State Senate would align fire policies of state parks and local fire districts. Senate Bill 1012, introduced by state Sens. Steve Glazer (D-Contra Costa) and Jim Nielsen (R-Red Bluff ), would require state parks to enforce rules on open fires that are at least as restrictive as limits adopted by the fire department or fire district within whose boundaries the park is located. As fires become more common and more destructive, this bill is more important than ever. Meeks Bay Fire Protection District leaders have been outspoken in their support of the bill. There are three state parks located within the
district — Emerald Bay State Park, Sugar Pine State Park and D.L. Bliss State Park — and even though they respond to fires in those parks, they can’t currently restrict campfires or flame grills in the campgrounds. “State Parks cannot comment on the proposed legislation. However, the department can tell you that campfires in state parks are regulated through the California Code of Regulations,” said Dan Canfield, California State Parks’ Sierra District superintendent. “CCR Section 4311 prohibits all fires in state parks except in camp stoves or fire rings provided and designated by state parks. When the department makes a finding of extreme fire hazard for a park unit, fire prohibition is expanded to all wood and charcoal n

and the trauma and it never stops,” said Antonio, who has more than 30 years experience in the field. “I really feel that as a community we have an opportunity to step up and actually eliminate this insidious type of epidemic. Presentations by child abuse prevention advocates and local leaders will be given. “Somebody said a long time ago that children are the most vulnerable of our population,” Antonio said. “And it’s true. It’s hard for them to advocate for themselves. It’s hard for them to say what’s wrong.” Blue pinwheels — the national symbol for child abuse prevention — are starting to spin throughout the community in an effort to raise awareness. Pinwheel pins are also popping up on the lapels of folks in the community, including El Dorado County Probation and Placerville police officers. The pinwheels are distributed by members of the Child Abuse Prevention Council and can be picked up at the El Dorado County Office of Education campus. People can also place pinwheels at the flag-raising event. Deanna Santana, coordinator for the Child Abuse Prevention Council, said there are ways to be proactive about child abuse. “When you know your neighbors are struggling, just reach out and be that kind voice.

to offer to help could make all the difference between a family making it and a family not making it,” Santana said. She noted five protective factors that contribute to creating strong families and help reduce risk factors that lead to child abuse and neglect — parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of stress and good social and emotional development. Libraries around the county have community hubs that focus on getting families support from the very beginning. “Because we know there’s generational child abuse, we know that families grow up and they think violence is normal,” Santana said. “Part of what those community hubs do is give parents resources from birth.” To report suspected child abuse call the Child Protective Services 24-hour hotline at (844) 756-3699. Attendees of the memorial flag-raising event will hear from speakers, including Antonio and Santana, as well as Leslie Griffith with the county Health and Human Services Agency and Karon WilsonLee, community member and child abuse prevention advocate.

day was March 31. “Amanda and I didn’t always agree on a lot of things but she was always very open-minded and very deliberate on her own and in decision-making. She will be missed,” Novasel said. Novasel sought to fill the position with the correct person and quickly determined that Harkin was fit for the role. “He seems very open-minded. He’s willing to work hard and be able to get up to speed on the responsibilities and roles that are expected of him,” Novasel said. Harkin explained that he values the community and wants to help shape it into the best it can be, so much so that he has been studying
the role of a planning commissioner for the past couple weeks. “I don’t know that (being a realtor and planning commissioner) are going to be transferring in together because my decisions have to be based on what is best for the county, whereas my real estate business is about what is best for the client,” Harkin said. According to his online realtor profile, Harkin is a member of the El Dorado County, California and national associations of realtors. When Harkin isn’t serving one of his real estate clients or studying up on planning protocol, he plays the drums and spends time with his family. Harkin’s term ends Jan. 1, 2023.

Democrats incoherent on Sacramento shooting
T
he recent mass shooting in Sacramento that took six lives occurred one block from the Capitol offices of Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The following morning, I speculated on social media that it was probably gang members Jon Coupal with criminal records. It didn’t take a Kreskin to make that sort of prediction, which, of course, turned out to be accurate. Nor does it take extraordinary clairvoyance to predict that progressives would, once again, blame “gun violence” rather than criminally inclined perpetrators. (I’ve often wondered why, when there is a murder committed with a knife progressives never talk about “knife violence.”) True to form, both Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg immediately blamed “gun violence” and called for more gun control laws notwithstanding the fact that California already The issue of gun has some of the strictest gun control laws in control aside, America and is currently the progressive considering more. The issue of gun control answer to any aside, the progressive one of California’s answer to any one of California’s many many problems problems is to advance is to advance “solutions” that are “solutions” that ineffective at best and counterproductive at are ineffective worst. Here, their answer at best and to civil unrest, increased crime and perceived counterproductive excessive incarceration at worst. is to “defund” the police and grant early release to violent felons. Even when, as the recent carnage reveals, these policies don’t work, the response is frequently doubling down with more of the same. The failure to hold criminals responsible for their behavior is just one example, but there are many more. Housing crisis? A real solution would be to remove impediments to housing construction. But this runs contrary to the DNA of California’s progressive urban planners who strictly control the kinds of housing being built, how it is to be built and where it is to be built. In addition, rent control laws and a new push to impose higher capital gains taxes on house flippers sends a stark message to all potential homebuyers as well as investors that California is not where you want to lay down your money. Climate change? Rather than transition to clean, carbon-neutral nuclear power, California has n

Letters to the Editor Support Tamara Wallace
EDITOR: s a past City Council person and past mayor of the city of South Lake Tahoe, I am aware of what qualities of service, character, commitment and temperament work best in a public servant. Public servant is the key word versus public ruler. So many of those elected seem to forget the people who elected them. In considering all those things I have concluded that the best person to represent District 5 as an El Dorado County supervisor is Tamara Wallace. In my opinion, Tamara has the best skills, temperament and proven track record to get the job done right. When she became mayor of South Lake Tahoe, I saw the calm, steady leadership qualities needed to make decisions about the pandemic, heavy smoke, the Caldor Fire evacuation and road closures. In addition to all this, Tamara kept focused on supporting our fire safety and police services, long-overdue road repairs and the start of hundreds of workforce housing homes. And, while I do not reside in District 5 any longer, I still own commercial property in the city of South Lake Tahoe and care for El Dorado County deeply. Because of all these qualities and the hard work, she has done, I am in full support of Tamara Wallace for supervisor. KATHAY LOVELL Formerly of South Lake Tahoe

What’s your fear? EDITOR: n Friday, March 25, the cover story of the Mountain Democrat was “Jury’s verdict: Popejoy not guilty,” by Eric Jaramishian. Mr. Popejoy was accused of brandishing a firearm “in an angry or threatening manner” at three teenage girls who made obscene gestures as they drove by his Placerville home. “I had real fear for my family,” Bradley Popejoy said. Referring to his wife, “I don’t remember specifics, but I remember the fear in her voice.” Abegale Jones, the young girl driving the car, told the court she saw the gun raised and that she “took
O
that as a direct threat to her life.” “Us and them” attitudes create fear and hate and not knowing one another can result in negative consequences. In this case, what started out as obscene gestures, graduated to a semi-automatic weapon brought to the scene by Bradley Popejoy — all because of a Trump sign vs. a Black Lives Matter sign. Manipulators out there use our fears as a tool to support ideologies and as a weapon against whoever we may consider not like us, those whom we define as the “other.” Fear is a way to manipulate people to actions that are not in their best interests or the interests of others. Bertrand Russell once said, “Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.” The only antidote against fear and hate of the other is empathy. We must find those same values we share universally, the same human issues we all struggle with. Through knowing one another with empathetic familiarity fear and hate can be erased so the “other” becomes ourselves. We are “the other.” LARA GULARTE Diamond Springs

Nearly everything costs more, even at Walmart where cottage cheese has gone up from $1.64 to $1.84. That’s a 12% increase in price. Other prices have similarly increased on most dairy products, canned goods and bread. At Costco, Jack’s Killer Bread has gone up about 15% in the last month or two. Arby’s has raised the price of its coupon deals. The price of two French dip and Swiss sandwiches has gone from $6 to $8. That’s a 33% increase. Major investment bankers now predict the Fed will raise interest rates another 2% by year end. It’s only going to get worse. Biden recently said there are going to be food shortages because of the Ukrainian war as Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe and Russia is a big producer of fertilizer. Biden can thank himself for that as his energy policies created money for Putin’s war. So let’s recap the Joe Biden presidency. First he attacked the petroleum industry, causing a doubling in gasoline and diesel prices. By taking two million barrels of production offline, Russia (Putin) got a windfall, according to the Wall Street Journal, of about $84 billion, certainly enough to finance his war as
$84 billion is more than his annual defense budget. Then Biden’s overspending of trillions of dollars started the inflation spiral. Here we are 14-plus months later with 8% to 10% overall inflation (have you bought a new or used car lately ... never mind another home?). And with food shortages, bread will cost another dollar or two a loaf and inflation will spiral even more out of control. You have already seen empty shelves. The Democrat solution under consideration is more “free” money to people to help with the impact of the inflation the politicians created. Gov. Gavin Newsom has floated the idea of $400 checks to car owners to help with gas prices — buying more votes. This same idea is floating around Congress. More “free stimulus” to keep the populace from rioting. Those checks mean more deficit government spending and more inflation. My previous column said Biden must hate America along with the communists/progressives running our government. What else can you conclude? Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.

already closed two of its power plants and is on the verge of closing the last one. And why don’t progressives count carbon-free hydroelectric power as a renewable energy source? Probably because that makes too much sense. Another example is transportation, where progressive policies designed to force commuters out of their cars have resulted in even more gridlock and more pollution. Mass transit is more unpopular than ever because of reliability and personal safety concerns while lane closures and so-called “traffic calming” designs leave drivers angry and using language you don’t hear in church. And for goodness’ sake, don’t get me started on high-speed rail — the most costly, environmentally destructive transportation project ever designed by humans. Homelessness is next on the list. How is it that
progressives continue to spend ever increasing amounts of money on this tragedy only to see the problem getting worse? Has it ever occurred to them that all their “solutions” are exacerbating the problem? Are they unfamiliar with the popular definition of insanity? This is just a short list of the very serious problems confronting California to which you could add a horrific business climate, crushing tax burden, massive waste in state government, water shortages, and the nation’s highest unemployment rate and highest effective poverty rate. What California desperately needs are serious candidates to advance real solutions to serious problems and a lot less superficial posturing.

and a handful of others who put together what’s on Biden’s teleprompter. In Poland he went off script and called for regime change in Russia, causing angst in Europe and panic among the White House staff who had to try and walk it back as it’s diametrically opposed to U.S. policy. It also played into the hands of Putin, whose propaganda has said all along that the
Ukraine invasion is justified as a response to efforts by the West to destabilize and cause the fall of the Russian Federation. Someone has to shut off Biden’s mic at the end of the teleprompter speeches before that corrupt moron starts World War III. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re engaged in a pursuit that will never stop being a lot of work for you. It’s like a stair stepper that keeps producing a new step in front of you, though your elevation hardly changes. Only you can say whether it’s worth it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Make backups, whether it’s a digital copy of your computer files or a plan B for today’s schedule. Thinking ahead to what might go wrong will make getting it right more likely. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s like you’re the on-call problem solver of your group. Don’t stress yourself out over what they need; it’s a lot. You don’t have to have all the answers. It’s OK to say, “I don’t know.” CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel a transition coming on, and you want to be graceful about it. This is where surrender comes in. Let go and trust that you will have a soft place to land. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Answer phone calls promptly. You will avoid confusion, miscommunication and awkward situations by following this one rule. Dealing with things in real time gives you power. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The sweet life is about loving what you have, especially your relationships. When you see opportunities to treat your cherished people, you don’t hesitate. It will make them feel special to know they are important to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You walk into a room and you set the tone. There’s no shortage of people who want to be around you. Just by liking the life you’re living and living the life you like, you influence people. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Persistence is your thing. You’re even persistent about being persistent. So long as you feel there is something else you can do that might help you achieve your goal, you’ll keep after it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Eliminate stressful triggers. It’s the daily habits — for instance, always putting your keys and your glasses back in the same place — that make life smooth and allow you to focus on highly valued relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re becoming aware of the ways you get off track. There’s an art to redirection, a way to lead yourself back to productivity. Sometimes it’s easier to change your environment first. Your thoughts will follow suit. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The weather has shifted yet again, and your priorities adjust right along with the change. You’ll be coming back to a part of yourself you haven’t seen in a while. This part has been waiting patiently for your return. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you started this work, you weren’t expecting anyone to saddle up and carry some of the load. And though you didn’t ask, the sweet moment comes when you realize it’s happening all by itself. Your team is emerging.

the healing process from this horrific event,” said El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson. “The guilty verdict does not bring deputy Ishmael back to his heartbroken family but it sends a message that those who bring dangerous drug activity to El Dorado County and endanger law enforcement and the public, will not go unpunished.” Vazquez-Orozco was 20 years old and had been living in a tent on Ross’
property about a month before the Oct. 23, 2019, fatal shooting. He was tending to about $250,000-$500,000 worth of marijuana plants. In the early morning of Oct. 23, 2019, Ross called authorities to report a robbery on his property. He failed to mention that Vazquez-Orozco and Ramiro Bravo Morales were living on the property, might have been armed and didn’t know English. Vazquez-Orozco said during his

testimony that he was told to protect the marijuana garden by firing warning shots if need be. Officers Ishmael, Tasabia, Shelton and Taroli arrived and a shootout ensued. During the roughly month-long trial Vazquez-Orozco’s attorney Lori London made the case her client was acting in self-defense because he couldn’t see in the darkness and he thought the officers were robbers. The jury found Vazquez-Orozco not guilty of murder in the first degree but guilty of murder in the second degree. A first-degree charge would mean he intentionally, willfully or deliberately killed someone. A second-degree charge involves murder without intent. As the trial concluded and all exited the courtroom, a juror who asked not to be identified, told the Mountain Democrat deliberations were “really, really hard.” “It was a lot of information, a lot of time spent and a lot of soulsearching,” she said. While on the stand during the trial Vazquez-Orozco testified he fired at the officers as he was running away. When Tasabia took the stand his testimony differed greatly from Vazquez-Orozco’s. He said the defendant was coming out from a brush pile, pointing a gun and pulling the trigger.

Vazquez-Orozco was promised pay of $200 a day — he had been making about $200 a month tending cattle in Mexico — but he wouldn’t be paid until after the crop was harvested. In his closing statements Alexander — who prosecuted the case with deputy district attorney Nora Hall — said the crop’s value was a “powerful motive.” “He is not in imminent danger. He’s not defending himself. He’s defending marijuana. His intent is to kill anyone who threatens the marijuana,” Alexander told the jury. Vazquez-Orozco killed 37-yearold Ishmael and wounded Tasabia before he himself was shot and then arrested. Morales was also arrested that morning and ultimately pleaded guilty in July 2021 to conspiracy to grow marijuana and accessory to murder charges. He was sentenced to three years in prison. Vazquez-Orozco possibly faces a life sentence, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Ishmael was Placerville born and raised and a Ponderosa High School graduate. He was a four-year veteran of the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and had also served two years as an officer for the Placerville Police Department. Ishmael left behind a wife and three children. Tasabia’s injury led to a disability that ended his career in law enforcement.

can have a fire. “The Sierra District is working to achieve greater consistency with local fire restrictions and strengthen coordination efforts with local fire districts regarding fire restrictions and messaging,” Canfield said. “When feasible, Sierra District staff will regularly participate in local fire district board meetings to discuss current and planned fire restrictions and the rationale behind them.” Canfield continued, “At state park campgrounds campfire restriction determinations are being made on a daily basis by public safety staff with first-hand knowledge of current conditions. Things like weather conditions, public safety staffing levels and campground occupancy levels are part of the factors used to determine if and when campfires can be allowed. Tahoe area parks have a long safety record on campfires and have never had a wildfire issue as a result of authorized campfires in designated campgrounds with campfire rings.” Even if Sierra District is aligned with fire districts, if other state parks have different policies, a fire could start there that could still pull resources away from Tahoe. “This common-sense legislation provides clarity to campers and residents alike by requiring the state to respect the local and regional firefighters who are on the front lines preventing wildfires,” Glazer stated in a press release. “These fires can kill people and animals, destroy property and consume thousands of acres of wildlands, and we should do all we can to prevent them.” The bill passed the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water with a bipartisan 8-0 vote. The bill has now been moved to the suspension file in the Senate Appropriations Committee, meaning it does not get a normal hearing with witnesses and debate. The vote on the bill will be announced May 20.

grandparents. Sadly, our generation was truly the last to keep memories through albums. Once the cell phone exploded, the albums became like collectables — a thing of the past. Their picture albums are in the digital format, i.e. the Cloud. In 2019 I was going through the process of downsizing. The intent was to slowly start discovering what we could and could not live without. I concentrated more on what my husband and I had accumulated and what we could “share” with others. I did not want our adult children to make decisions that we should have made. Even though we managed to make numerous trips to various nonprofit agencies, the family will still have a selection to sort through. They can decide if any of these items are worthwhile to keep and remain part of our family history. Nowadays if generations wish to find their “roots” they can go to websites such as Ancestry.com. However, that doesn’t give you a true sense of family history or the ability to possess a piece of your legacy. Perhaps, if we start to emphasize the importance of a handmade quilt, dolly, milk glass or even picture albums they will be seen as treasured pieces to pass on. Therefore, giving us all a piece of our family history that carries on. Deon Batchelder is a certified care manager and the clinical supervisor for Elder Options Inc.

to us about how her children did not really want these items and would just toss them when she passes. We promised her that would not happen, even though we could not give guarantees. Unfortunately, my aunt was right and a lot of her items were indeed thrown away after her passing. Recently, my 90-yearold father passed; his house is a temple of his life. It includes the curio cabinets with my grandmother’s collectables, the milk glass bowls, dollies, hutches and wood furniture made in America and also my father’s numerous collections of plastic model aircrafts, tanks and submarines that he built. His house has many family mementoes ... and nobody wants them. My cousin’s friend wanted some of the items to sell in her shop. My cousin and I will take some other items. After that no one wants anything and there is no monetary worth so the only option is to throw the rest away, just like my aunt’s family had to do. I realize that the trend of the younger generation is to not be burdened by the past. They do not want to be the “keepers,” nor be encumbered by the care of family heirlooms that once belonged to their ancestors. They do not have the space in their homes or may want the freedom to pick up and move at any moment. However, precious memories exist among heirlooms. For example, picture albums. When our grandchildren come to visit, they always go straight to the picture albums to reminisce, verify their past experiences and see their parents and

s an only child I grew up among an adult population. Now I am a member of the Baby Boomer generation. My grandfathers died before I was born, my paternal grandmother I did not know well and my maternal grandmother was loving during her short life. I was able to meet my maternal great-grandparents, but visits were rare due to distance. When visiting the grandparents, I loved to look at their “collections.” A hutch seemed to be in every home and filled with knick-knacks. It might be plates, Hummel figurines, milk glass, dollies and porcelain teacups. Of course, the hutches, rockers and handmade quilts — “all collectables” — were hand-me downs. My elders would indicate that someday I might inherit those items, as they told me the history or memories of each cherished belonging. Remember the saying “what is old is new again.” There was a time when that was in vogue. However, throughout the generations I have noticed the change. It has been a slow, gradual change throughout the decades. Collectables come and go, but the current trend seems to be letting go, with less and less family members holding onto heirlooms that have previously been passed from generation to generation.
