The California Department of Public Health announced Friday that the student vaccine mandate (that included a personal belief exemption) will be delayed until no sooner than July 1, 2023. The mandate was set to go into effect this summer. This announcement comes as the FDA has not yet fully approved the COVID-19 vaccine for individuals of all ages within the seventh- through 12-grade span. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration was waiting for the FDA approval before engaging members of the public in the rule-making process for adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required vaccines for public school students. The full announcement delaying the mandatory start of the COVID-19 vaccine can be found at bit.ly/3OeHf9j. Also on April 15 it was announced that Senate Bill 871 will not proceed. This bill applied specifically to updating the requirement for children to attend public child-care or school by adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of immunizations required for enrollment, potentially prior to full FDA approval. This bill would have also removed the personal belief exemption for COVID19 and any future vaccines added to the list by the Legislature or the California Department of Public Health, including removal of the personal belief exemption currently included in the governor’s Oct. 1 plan. Read Sen. Richard Pan’s full statement at bit.ly/3JM8jJx. On Nov. 9, 2021, Dr. Ed Manansala, county superintendent of schools, and all superintendents of the 15 El Dorado County school districts, wrote a letter to Gov. Newsom. The letter emphasized El Dorado County’s belief in local control and the importance of safe, in-person instruction for students and educators. Specifically, the superintendents highlighted that the vaccine mandate would have the consequence of families leaving for other alternatives to classroom-based instruction. “As we maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students and educators, we are grateful that the proposed vaccine mandate will no longer be a challenge for our education system,” Manansala said after the recent announcement. “As we move forward into 2022-23, we will protect the conditions for our students to learn and thrive.”

Helpful Harry Norris served the community Community advocate and businessman remembered

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer If Harry Norris wasn’t described as the former owner of an iconic El Dorado Hills gas station, community servant would also be accurate. He has a legacy of giving back to El Dorado County. Norris provided his expertise over the 40 years he lived in the county before his death April 7 at age 87. “Harry loved the county and gave himself in every way that he could to to enhance and improve things as much as he could,” said Joy Norris, Harry’s wife of 12 years. Harry came to the county in 1984, settling in El Dorado Hills with his son Brian and thenwife Jan. He bought

Harry Norris the El Dorado Hills 76 gas station, which he held onto for 25 years. The gas station, first opened in 1964, was one of El Dorado Hills’ first businesses. Norris served as an esteemed director of the El Dorado Irrigation District from 2003 to 2011. n

Ceedola Louise Daubner Feb. 12, 1933 – April 1, 2022

Ceedola Louise Daubner passed away April 1 at her home in Oakland, Calif. She was the eldest daughter of Clinton and Narcissa Veerkamp born Feb. 12, 1933, at the Placerville Sanitarium in Placerville. She grew up on her parent’s fruit and livestock ranch in Gold Hill. She went to the Gold Hill Grammar School a year early in order to have enough students to keep the school open. After graduating from El Dorado High School in June 1950, she earned a bachelor of science degree and teaching credentials at the University of California, Berkeley. Her first year of teaching was at a women’s college in Japan teaching English and followed with 34 years of teaching in the elementary schools in Oakland. She remained in Oakland after retirement. Ceedola enjoyed traveling and had many trips seeing the United States, Canada, Europe and the Galapagos Islands often with her late husband Herbert Daubner. She was a talented piano and violin player practicing many hours to get it “just right.” Ceedola had an active interest in permaculture and a fondness for the California redwoods. Her wishes to have her ashes scattered among the redwoods are being carried out. Ceedola is survived by her sisters, Narcissa Marie Schubin of Alexandria, Va. and Martha Frances de Haas of Placerville and many nieces and nephews. She will be long remembered and greatly missed by family and friends.

Celebration of Life George Charles Visman

December 1929 – March 2022

eorge’s Family invite all who knew and loved George to join us at High Hill Ranch, on April 23, 2022, at 2:00 PM to celebrate the life of George Charles Visman, founder of High Hill Ranch and beloved father of Jerry and David Visman. We will be serving all his favorite foods, recounting stories from his life, remembering his son Steve, daughter Joan and spending time appreciating the legacy he left for us all. After a brief illness, George passed peacefully on March 29, 2022. Born in Placerville in 1929, George grew up farming the area with his father, right down the road from what is now, High Hill Ranch. For over 100 years, his family helped shape the community and the area that would eventually become, Apple Hill. After graduating from El Dorado High School in 1948, he proudly went on to serve our country in the Air Force, during the Korean War as an Air Force Hydraulic Specialist. While stationed in Arizona he was allowed to race flat track motorcycles, and he usually won, creating quite a name and reputation on base. Serving his beloved country left a lasting impression on his heart. Anyone who spent time with George would be graced with stories of his time in the service. After the service, he came back to his father’s ranch in Placerville. It was during this time, he met his first wife, Claire Turnidge, in the early 1950’s. Married soon after and had three sons: Jerry, David and Steven and his only daughter, Joan. In 1960, he walked up the road from his Fathers Farm and for $500 put a down payment on the Gatlin Ranch turning it into today’s High Hill Ranch. George was a key figure in the forming of the Apple Hill Growers and the very first member. Through it all, family was paramount. He grew up close knit with his parents and siblings, working on the family farm with his father, learning how to work and survive off the land. As his own children were born, he did the same thing for his three boys and only daughter, building upon the knowledge passed down to him. His children always came first. High Hill has grown to over 165 acres with multiple orchards throughout the area. But it all came from very humble beginnings and a small orchard of pear trees. After pear blight swept through the area he took a trip to Oak Glenn in Southern California, the inspiring vacation was all he needed reimagine something entirely new for his land. Thus, sparking the idea of High Hill Ranch becoming a tourist destination. His ranch continued to grow every year, offering more activities, foods and hosting more and more people as the word got out. Eventually, George needed a second in command. In 1997, he called upon his son, Jerry. He was asked to come home from Hawaii and help his father run the ranch. His dutiful son returned and worked by his dad’s side ever since. Just as George did with his father. George retired from running the ranch full-time, a few years ago. Yet you could still find him every day on his golf cart, chatting with customers, checking the orchards and his most favorite duty, quality control of the pies and food that started it all. Nine years ago, George turned the ranch over to his son Jerry and daughter-in-law Michelle to continue the family traditions. Together they run the ranch with their daughter Alexa. Even though he will be sorely missed, he created a generational legacy for his family that will live on to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. George leaves behind his sons Jerry Visman and David Visman, Wife Janice, Daughter-in-law Michelle Visman, Granddaughters Alexa, Great Grandchildren Ava Jade, Chase, Caden and Chloe, Sister-in-Law Micky Visman, Nephews Mike Visman, Ronnie Jones, Mark Visman, Brad Visman and Bill Jones and Niece Sue Jones.

California Matters

California’s shrinking population has big impacts

lthough California’s population growth began to slow in the 1990s after exploding in the previous decade by 6 million people, both official and independent demographers continued to see relatively strong growth for decades. Dan Walters In 2007 then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s in-house demographers projected that California would have 39.9 million residents by 2011. It didn’t happen. Five years later then-Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2012-13 budget projected that the state’s population would be “over 39.6 million” by 2016. That didn’t happen either. In 2016, with the state’s population estimated at 38.7 million, the Public Policy Institute of California declared, “California will continue to gain millions of new residents in each of the next two decades, increasing demand in all areas of infrastructure and public services — including education, transportation, housing, water, health and welfare.” “By 2030,” PPIC said, “California’s population is projected to reach 44.1 million.” Expansive projections That’s not going to of California’s happen either. population growth The 2020 census pegged the state’s have been proven population at 39.5 wrong and if million and a recent anything, the report from the Census Bureau says state is now losing California had a net population with loss of more than serious social and a quarter-million residents between economic impacts. July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021. “California appears to be on the verge of a new demographic era, one in which population declines characterize the state,” PPIC demographer Hans Johnson writes in a new analysis. “Lower levels of international migration, declining birth rates and increases in deaths all play a role. But the primary driver of the state’s population loss over the past couple years has been the result of California residents moving to other states.” Since 2010, Johnson continued, “about 7.5 million people moved from California to other states, while only 5.8 million people moved to California from other parts of the country. According to Department of Finance estimates, the state has lost residents to

Letters to the Editor Thank you EDITOR:

any thanks to the kind lady who paid for my groceries at Raley’s. I was almost checked out when I realized I’d left my wallet at home. The checker agreed to hold on to my cart until I could return with the money. The woman behind me insisted on paying. At first I declined her offer, but she was adamant. So I gratefully accepted. I am looking forward to paying it forward as the bagging clerk suggested. Good to know there can still be such generous spirit around despite all the recent challenges. ALDA LEAHY Placerville

The day that stood still EDITOR: live in Cameron Park across the cul-de-sac from the people whose home caught fire April 13. I was teaching a class online when I heard the first explosion. It felt like a car had crashed into our home. My husband ran out of the bedroom and said to me “Mr. S’s house just exploded.” I could not fully comprehend what he had just said. Looking out the window, I thought for sure no one could have survived. It appeared as if the entire house was engulfed in flames. As I called 911, I actually had to tell myself this was not a dream. First responders arrived before my call was answered. I ran outside having no idea what I intended to do. There were at least two more explosions. My next-door neighbor, who has known the residents for over 40 years, was standing outside. Helpless and in tears, we expressed our worst fears. Moments later we were informed everyone was ok. We were so relieved and marveled at the outstanding work of the firefighters and paramedics. We rejoiced that there were no injuries and that the fire did not spread to the trees or any other properties thanks to their outstanding response. We spoke to the home’s residents and shared our relief as well as our sorrow. This was the second house fire I have seen.

One of the most painful aspects is witnessing the residents watch their home and objects disappear before their eyes. It feels like witnessing a very private tragedy. Even though thankfully there was no loss of life, something about it still felt like a death had occurred. The horror remains with me days later. Even though the worst did not happen, the fact that I briefly believed it did has left a stain on my heart. The trauma of those few moments of not knowing if everyone survived feels like an oppressive weight on my chest. During the first couple of days after the fire, at least 100 cars drove through the cul-de-sac. There were also curious passersby on foot. It reminded me of Christmas time when people drive around to look at decorations. But instead of rows of sparkling lights, there remains only the grim spectacle of destruction and displacement. The home is now boarded up with a fence around it — a moment frozen in time. I have been trying to make sense of people’s desire to see the home. I can only speculate that perhaps this desire comes from our own fears of the same thing happening to us. It’s as if our hope is that seeing the damage and knowing what to expect can provide us with some sense of mastery over such a powerless situation. In reality, nothing can prepare us for such devastation. The only thing that provides me with any comfort is knowing that if we find ourselves in the same situation, we will be in the competent hands of our first responders. POLLY JONES Cameron Park

Irony of it all EDITOR: woke up on a recent morning, turned on the news and witnessed a commercial in opposition to sports gambling. Its essence was gambling is evil and ruins lives and we need to say no to allowing sports gambling on our cell phones. The ad was paid for by all the Indian casinos in the state.

The agency, originally the brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, was conceived with her view, shared by Democrats on the far left, that disparities in financial results between different communities must be due to racism and discrimination. risks and discriminatory outcomes, including documentation of customer demographics and the impact of products and fees on different demographic groups.” We might summarize this as financial markets gone woke. Can a government bureaucrat really determine why a banker did or did not make a loan and should the heavy hand of government be involved here? Can it be the same thing when government intervenes in how financial institutions do their business as when government intervenes regarding who sits at a lunch counter? We can learn something about this from the financial crisis of 2008. According to the work of American Enterprise Institute’s Peter Wallison, the crisis was not the result of insufficient regulation of business but of government excess. It all started, according to Wallison, with government mandated affordable housing goals in 1992. These mandated that the two giant

government-backed mortgage companies — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — set a quota of 30% of all mortgages they acquired from mortgage originators to be targeted to low- and moderate-income borrowers. By 2008 this was up to 56%. In order to meet these quotas, lending practices were dramatically relaxed. Down payment requirements dropped from 10% to 3%; credit score requirements were relaxed, as were debt-to-income requirements. By 2008, according to Wallison, just before everything collapsed, “More than a majority of all mortgages in the U.S. financial system was sub-prime, required low or no down payment or were otherwise risky.” With the collapse of lending standards, housing demand and prices went through the roof and then the bubble exploded. Who suffered the most in the ensuing recession? Per Pew Research,

As an EID director he was influential in keeping costs down for EID ratepayers through operating efficiencies while working to improve water quality. Former EID Director of Communications and Customer Services Mary Lynn Carlton, who worked at the water agency at the same time Harry served, said he always balanced the needs of ratepayers with the safety and reliability of EID’s operations. “That’s kind of how he was; he would really dig into the details of EID’s business and business sectors,” Carlton said. “Harry would do his homework before board meetings. All agenda items that staff would present would be very technical and Harry would really ask a lot of questions. “He was a great asset for both the staff and the customers.” Former Cal Fire chief and fellow EID board member George Osborne introduced himself to Harry at the 76 gas station in 2003. Harry was running for EID director and Osborne was the EID board president at the time. “It was about 10:30 a.m. I went and started talking to him and I thought, ‘Man, this guy is a keeper,’” Osborne said. “Next thing I know, it was three minutes to noon and he goes, “Oh my god, I have to order gas or I won’t have anymore.’” Osborne said that conversation solidified his confidence in him as an EID board member. “I was really impressed with the guy right off the bat because he’s very intelligent, a very personable guy and a good businessman, which is good for the board,” Osborne said. “We remained long, long friends ever since …” Harry helped EID take on a number of responsibilities, including recycled water, implementation of a solar field in El Dorado Hills and ongoing issues with Weber Dam. Harry would eventually sell his gas station in 2009 and lost his EID district seat to Alan Day in 2011. However, Harry was involved with a lot more in the county, both before and after his time at EID. The list includes his time as an El Dorado County Board of Education trustee. He also served on the Marshall Medical Center Board of Directors and has been active with the El Dorado Hills Lions Club, the Local Agency Formation Commission, the El Dorado County

Taxpayers Association for 13 years and the Snowline Hospice Board of Directors for nine years. “He was always a numbers guy, so a lot of the boards really liked to have him on as a member,” Joy said. He was also a founding member of the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce. “I think the community will remember him as an honest man, an honest businessman and probably one of the best friends you could probably have,” his widow shared. “He was always looking to do fun things that involve the community. If it was like a fundraiser or something, he was there.” One Fourth of July, Harry got on stilts and dressed himself up like Uncle Sam while walking around and doing promotions for the Lions Club, Joy recalled. Harry received the Citizen of the Year Award and the Small Business of the Year Award from the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce and earned the Spirit of Boardsmanship and the Leader in Boardsmanship awards as a Marshall Medical Center board member. Before moving to the county he lived in Utah, Iowa and other parts of California, working as a territory manager for Amoco Oil. Harry was born and raised in Colorado, where he went to college at Colorado State University. He also went to the University of South Dakota for graduate studies before signing up for military service. He was assigned to the Army’s 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, 1967-70, becoming an infantry platoon leader and earning two Bronze Stars for his combat service. “He just loved life. He lived it to the fullest. He was serious when he was serious but then when he was having fun, he loved to laugh,” Joy said. Harry loved to ride the back roads of the county on his dirt bike, often concerning Joy. His most passionate hobby was sailing, taking him to waters in the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe and Santa Monica. Joy and Harry married in 2010 after Jan’s passing in 2007. He and Jan were married more than 30 years. Harry leaves behind four grandchildren, two by marriage, and a stepdaughter. He treated all as his own, Joy said. “He was basically the personification of a good man,” she added. “He just wanted to do what he could do.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being around people who don’t understand you is lonely. It is far better to go solo and be completely free to focus on what brings you joy than be in proximity of others whom you cannot relate to. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may find that something you used to enjoy doing now feels like work. The energy has simply run its course. Pressing on may do more harm than good. Take a break to avoid total burnout. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Anyone can be cheerful under blue skies and in happy circumstances. To be just as pleasant among bad moods and weather is for the superhuman. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts to rise above the circumstances. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just because you obsess over a project doesn’t mean it will turn out better. The opposite could happen. If a task feels like it’s taking too long, it probably is. Change your mindset and pick up the pace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s futile if not dangerous to try to control massive entities with many moving parts. State what you want then get out of the way and let things worth themselves out. Have faith things will naturally settle at the best outcome. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There have been times you communicated with pristine clarity because you knew just what you wanted to say and you said exactly that. But today you won’t know what you want to express until

sentences fall from your lips. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The agitation you feel is lucky. It’s telling you that you’re ready for a change of scenery. You’ve wrung all the sweetness you’re going to get from the current situation. New challenges are around the bend. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are riding the wave that happens when creativity and inspired action come together. Surfing in the flow of life, you’ll enjoy a particularly focused form of concentration. You’ll make smart moves without thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People who can give you what you need won’t require convincing. You’ll just notice that what you need is there, and you’ll make a deal -- simple. If you find yourself having to persuade, something is off. Keep moving. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Aim your delusions at a new calendar. What’s real now would have been unfathomable 100 years ago. Inventing a better tomorrow requires some degree of unrealistic thinking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Needing to know everything about how things work could slow the progress. Trust people to do their jobs today. Let the experts handle what they are experts at handling. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). For some reason, accepting compliments can feel a little embarrassing to you, but you’ll eventually get used to being around people who can really see and appreciate you.

Saturday races a tribute to local speedway legend Gary Thomas Staff writer

lacerville Speedway is geared up to honor one of its all-time biggest legends in the 57-year history of the facility, with the annual Tilford Tribute this Saturday. Divisions attacking the quartermile during the Tilford Tribute this weekend — the traveling Tri-State Pro Stock Series, limited late models, pure stocks and mini trucks. The event honors the late Donnie Tilford, one the most beloved stock car drivers in the history of Placerville Speedway. During his final years Tilford mentored, sponsored and wrenched for various drivers well past his retirement from driving in 1991. A former Placerville Super Stock champion, Tilford succumbed to heart complications and passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 58 in 2014. “This weekend’s event will be a perfect way to honor one of Placerville Speedway’s greatest legends,” said track promoter Scott Russell. “We look forward to hosting the show while showcasing our limited late models, pure stocks and mini truck divisions, along with welcoming in the Tri-State Pro Stock Series for the only time this season. We hope everyone can make it out for what should be great night of racing at the Donnie Tilford Tribute.” Tilford was known for his longtime residency in Folsom and for helping businesses transform from mere dirt into establishments in the area by means of his business, Tilford Excavating and Engineering. Racing his way to countless victories through the decades from tracks close to home like Placerville Speedway and as far away as Australia, Tilford put the city of Folsom on the auto racing map in his days behind the wheel. Tilford’s love was racing Stock Cars on the dirt. He began racing in 1971 at the age of 17 at Placerville Speedway and was a highly successful driver, winning numerous open shows, main events and championships. He continues to be the all-time leader in stock car victories at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds quarter-mile, having claimed 71 checkered flags in the division.

Defending track champion Dan Jinkerson captured opening night with the limited late models on April 9. The Diamond Springs competitor picked up the win over Jay Norton, Dan Brown Jr., Tyler Lightfoot and Kiely Ricardo. Three-time and defending pure stock champion Nick Baldwin sits at the top of the standings going into No. 3 three Saturday. The Oakley wheelman captured victory on opening night and finished a close second to Rio Linda’s Ryan Peter last time out. Tommy Sturgeon, Chris McGinnis, Michael Murphy and Ryan Murphy complete the top-five after two events. Also expected to tackle the bullring will be Jonathan Walsh, Russ Murphy, Mel Byers, Kevin Jinkerson and more. Placerville’s Austin Struthers was a multi-time winner last season with the mini trucks and returned on opening night recently to snag yet another victory over Mike Miller, Howard Miller, Paizlee Miller and Thomas Jensen. The pit gate will open at noon with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, qualifying and racing will follow.

Section B

brings drama to Burke Junction stage Thomas Frey Staff writer

“A

ll My Sons,” a post World War II show written by Arthur Miller and directed by Andrew Vonderschmitt, comes to The Stage at Burke Junction, opening April 22. Joe Keller, played by Allen Pontes, is the head of the family wanting to hold on to the financial security and legacy he spent years building. He’s ready to hand it down to his son Chris Keller, played by Chris Smith. Joe’s wife, Kate Keller, played by Julie Anchor, is still waiting for their son Larry to return from the war. Even though he has been missing for three years, Kate is determined he’s alive and will come back to marry Ann Deever, played by Ronnie Fowler, a veteran of shows like “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “The Laramie Project.” To complicate things, Ann and Chris are in love and want to get married. For more than two hours the superb cast will take the audience through a story dealing with obligation, established familial norms, the quest for wealth, consequences of action or inaction and the crushing weight of guilt. Pontes and Anchor have done more than a dozen shows together since 1999, including “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and while they are the patriarchs of the Keller family, they are also looked up to by the cast. “I was drawn to them as soon as I sat down to read with them at the table,” Fowler said. “They’re very professional. Their demeanor just makes you feel comfortable. They are perfect for their roles.” For Pontes, the role means a lot to him, who also performed ion “All My Sons” in the 1980s, playing Dr. Jim Bayless. His father, who was from the same era in which the show takes place, attended that performance and Pontes said the time period and the people really hit home with his dad. “I always said I would like to honor my dad and be able to play the role of Joe,” Pontes said. “A lot of the mannerisms and things that I carry into this character are actually an ode to

This is definitely a drama that I can sink my teeth into,” she shared, adding that one of her favorite parts is watching the relationships develop. The cast clicked from the beginning and Fowler said the crew had the script down faster than most shows she has done. One of the performers is 10-year-old Dean Elder, who plays Bert, a young neighbor of the Kellers. “I’m pretty excited because it’s fun and cool and everyone here is pretty funny,” said Dean, who is part of drama club at his school and said he wants to participate in more shows after this one concludes. “Dean is just great,” Fowler said. “He is probably one of the most professional actors I’ve ever worked with and he stays focused.” Actor Smith is also the artistic director at The Stage at Burke Junction. He has performed in shows like “Macbeth” and “Burn This,” In “All My Sons” he tackles a complex character. “To me, he’s the one who

Jim Last plays Dr. Jim Bayless, Deborah Bromley plays Sue Bayless, Micah Smith plays Frank Lubey and Eileen Hoang plays Frank’s wife Lydia Lubey. The Stage at Burke Junction is located at 3300 Coach Lane, Suite E1, Cameron Park. Performances are scheduled at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays with Sunday shows beginning at 2 p.m., April 22 through May 15. For tickets and more information visit stageatburke.com.

Day hiker South Yuba Trail (Edwards Crossing to Purdon Crossing)

he bridges of the South Yuba River State Park are historical, beautiful and, of course, cross the Yuba River in various locations, making any of them a great day hike. One of my favorites is Edwards Crossing. The drive down the last mile or so might make you think you are driving down a rabbit hole into a wonderland and maybe you are, as the trailhead is at the bottom where the green pedestrian archtruss bridge marks the start of this adventure. Installed in 1904 the bridge is a 114-foot stretch across the river. Starting from Edwards Crossing it’s a gradual downhill walk for a 5 mile hike to Purdon Crossing, another bridge on the Yuba. As this is an out-

Mary West Outdoor columnist and-back trail, you can stop anywhere along the way as your halfway point. The boulders here are orange and pink, making it unique compared to the brilliant white granite in other areas on the Yuba. Sediment in the soil and mining have left their marks. There are scenic trails beginning on both sides of the bridge and reasonable but limited parking at the bridge for hikers. The South Yuba River Trail downstream from the bridge is on the south side of the river. Nice views will keep you company as far as you

want to hike. Purdon Crossing will find you at the 5-mile mark, making for a 10-mile round trip. Take Interstate 80 east to Highway 49 toward Grass Valley. Take the left turn toward Downieville to stay on Highway 49. Take a right on Coyote Street. Turn Right on North Bloomfield Road/ Bloomfield-Graniteville Road. You will enter the park and continue to Edwards Crossing on North Bloomfield at the river. Mary West is author of the book series “Day Hiker – Gold Country Trail Guide I, II and III” (available on Amazon), a collection of the Day Hiker columns where West shares her longtime love of the outdoors, favorite hikes in Northern California’s Gold Country and beyond. West is the recipient of the 2017 and 2019 CRAFT Award for Best Outdoor Column and the 2020 Craft Award for her second book “Day Hiker – Gold Country

he Placerville Shakespeare Club, established on May 2, 1897, began when 20 women met in the parlor of Mollie Schueler’s home to form a society of women who would gather to read and study the works of William Shakespeare. They had annual 50-cent membership dues and met in Schueler’s private residence until 1920. It was a refuge where women could encourage one another in their artistic and literary pursuits. By the turn of the century, the club had developed into a more civic-minded organization that established clean-up efforts in Placerville and lobbied the Legislature to preserve lands along the Lincoln Highway. Members were also instrumental in the construction of two schools and the founding of a public library. By 1930 the club broke ground on its clubhouse built on Union Street, behind the courthouse. In 1950 the building was relocated to its current location on Bedford Avenue to make way for the construction of Highway 50. In 1983 the building was designated a historical landmark by the Placerville City Council. To this day the mission to promote sociability, friendship, recreation and the study of eminent authors continues. The public is invited to join in this mission at the upcoming Authors Day event, showcasing local, regional and nationally recognized authors and their works. The event allows for talks with the authors, Q&A sessions and book signings and also includes light refreshments, door prizes, drawings and plenty of socialization. This year, after a two-year hiatus, the Placerville Shakespeare Club comes back strong with a lineup of four local authors from various genres who will present their works to a literature-hungry crowd. Santa Rosa author Nancy Econome has been writing all her life. However, her debut novel, “The Classic Grill – A Tale of Greek Gods and Immigrant Heroes,” just hit the stands and she said she looks forward to her very first Authors Day and the chance to share her motivations behind writing the fictional family saga. “I will speak about my Greek heritage and other ethnic influences that inspired me,” she shared. “I hope to meet new literary friends and learn from the other authors at this respected literary event.” Award-winning Cameron Park mystery and thriller

GROW FOR IT! A new approach to digging

ate March proved to be bittersweet as it foretold the spring to come. Home gardeners loved the warmer weather and its promise of the joys of trees, shrubs and flowers Merry Campbell blooming. The bitter UCCE Master Gardener of part of the anticipation El Dorado County of spring comes in the not-so-fun part of preparing your soil for planting. A lot of manual effort is expended through the practice of tilling or the even more extreme disruption of soil called rototilling. Is there a way to get the garden ready for planting aside from tilling? Yes, there certainly are other ways to prepare your garden soil, as scientific studies around the world have proven. The approach is referred to as “no-till gardening” or alternatively as “no-dig gardening,” Is failure to till prior to planting, gardening sacrilege? Not at all. No-till gardening facilitates good soil management. As we have learned in other articles by the UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado County, healthy soil is beneficial to healthy plants. See “Turning Dirt into Soil: The Benefits of Healthy Soil” by Kit Veerkamp, 347015.pdf (ucanr.edu). As Veerkamp pointed out in her article, the benefits of healthy soil include: • High populations of microorganisms. • Soil in good physical condition holds and provides nutrients and allows air into plant roots. • Good soil texture allows it to warm quickly in spring. • Good texture holds moisture for longer periods of time. • Well-draining soil does not usually need any added chemical fertilization, which is a critical point to organic gardening.

• Healthy soil discourages pests and diseases. If all these benefits haven’t convinced you to improve your soil by not tilling, let’s look at what the no-dig gardening approach also provides: • Earthworms. No-till gardening promotes the presence of earthworms and other soil dwellers that in turn help the soil flourish. • Less pests. No-till gardening provides a healthy microbial ecosystem which discourages pests. • Less water usage. Again, because no-till gardening and heavy mulching go together, less water is needed because the mulch helps to shade the soil which, in turn, means less evaporation. As illustrated above, the benefits of no-till gardening and the use of organic mulches assist in loosening and improving the soil, especially clay soils, and is environmentally sound in the practice of water conservation and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. Mulch is key to no-till gardens. Barb Fick, a horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension, was quoted in an Extension Service publication on the topic of mulching in no-till gardens, stating, “Whatever you use, don’t skimp on mulch. A heavy layer not only keeps weeds from growing, it also keeps the underlying soil moist, greatly reducing the amount of water you need in summer.” The mulch you choose will determine the depth that you place on a garden bed. Grass clippings or leaves could be as deep as 8 to 10 inches. If you use cardboard or newspaper, much less depth is needed but you would also want to add some organic matter on top of cardboard or newspaper. When you’re ready to plant, simply push aside the mulch layer where you want to put your seeds or plants. Just think of how much more enjoyable our spring gardening will be without having to do the dreaded tilling and endure the resultant aches and pains.

Big Magical Moment dinner to celebrate volunteers News release Big Brothers Big Sisters Northern Sierra will host a special dinner Friday, April 22, to highlight community volunteers, Bigs and sponsors in honor of Volunteer Appreciation Month.

Awards will be presented to the Bigs of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Sponsor of the Year.

Last year a similar event — the first-ever virtual fundraiser for BBBSNS — raised more than $50,000 for local mentorship programs serving the Northern Sierra communities including El Dorado and Nevada counties, South and North Lake Tahoe areas and surrounding communities of Truckee, Kings Beach and the Tahoe City region. “We are looking forward to a magical night celebrating our defenders of potential whose generous contributions of time and money have helped change the lives of hundreds of children,”

said BBBSNS CEO Brenda Frachiseur. “Every child deserves a champion — someone who believes in them and will defend their potential. That is what this event is about, honoring those who have stepped up to be those champions.” This year’s hybrid event will include a live and silent auction. To participate visit bbbsns2021. ggo.bid.

as this are a wonderful way for readers to discover new authors, explore different genres and widen their reading choices.” L’Etoile will share from his published works and possibly tease his upcoming release, “Dead Drop.” A member of several crime, thriller and mystery associations, E’toile often teaches the craft at fiction conferences and writing groups. He said he enjoys learning more about other authors and their processes. “I always find it interesting to hear how each writer approaches their work and where they draw inspiration,” he shared. A gothic romance writer out of Applegate, Wendy ColesLittelpage said she “sort of fell into writing gothic romance and found it so much fun it never felt like work.” Coles-Littlepage has written three books in her series and is hard at work on a new book not connected to that series. Before retirement, she worked at the

Placer County Superior Court where all her writing was on legal matters, which left little room for creativity. “As soon as I retired, an idea came for a book and I started writing, at home, at my kitchen table” she said. This will be Coles-Littelpage’s first Authors Day and she said she looks forward to connecting with other literature lovers. Also a first-timer is Camino memoirist Cynthia Flaherty, who published her first book under the pen name Analie Shepherd four years ago because, she shared, “I had a story I felt compelled to tell.” Writing the memoir was a lifechanging event for Flaherty. “I am humbled and honored by the many readers who have reached out to communicate to me that my story gave a voice to their own experience and helped them in their own journey of selfdiscovery,” she said. “The opportunity for authors

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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.

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.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website www.Auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA12000026-19-1 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.

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 (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287020 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may

not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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 (916)939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100287020 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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. 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.

not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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 www. mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-1070-11 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 Notice to Tenant pertains to sales occurring after January 1, 2021.

The Horse Resource

A 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization

The Sanctuary: HartSong’s mission is to provide a landscape of quiet and tranquility for the 60+ animals (many with special needs, all trauma survivors) – a place where they can enjoy nature, peace of mind, and suffer no more.

Blind Ciara and little blind Deli

Ziggy

We pull senior dogs (15+ years) scheduled for euthanasia from high kill shelters. They are immediately placed into loving, warm “fospice” homes (foster + hospice) until they take their last breath. Our mission Charlie is to make the last days/years of a senior pup’s life the best they have ever known. HartSong covers all expenses. Please consider becoming a fospice care provider.

HartSong pulls from high-kill shelters – those that are never allowed on adoption room floors due to failed temperament evaluations. They are immediately placed into loving foster homes, allowed time to decompress and then once ready, placed up for adoption.

Donate: HartSong Ranch is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. 100% of donations go to the best possible care of the sanctuary animals, the pups of the UnderDOG Railroad and the senior dogs of Ethel’s Mission, and future rescue efforts. This is made possible only through the generous support and financial donations of our caring donors. Please consider donating today to help HartSong continue its mission. • Become a volunteer • Become a canine foster

• Become a “fospice” care provider
