Semon resigns, gets $165k severance pay Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Don Semon stepped down as El Dorado County’s Health and Human Services Agency director April 19 and received nine months severance pay — about $165,000 — on the way out. Semon will also receive an additional $90,000 for leave balances, resulting in a final paycheck totaling $255,000. Semon did not respond to the Mountain Democrat
on reasons for his departure but the paper did receive a statement from Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton through the county’s Communications and Outreach Director Carla Hass by email, which states, “Mr. Semon has submitted his voluntary resignation and will explore other opportunities outside the county.” According to the statement, the county agreed to pay out Semon the nine months severance pay, plus any

both parties to move forward,” the email continues. Auditor-Controller Joe Harn told the Mountain Democrat the last executive-level severance agreement his payroll staff can recall took place in 2014. Former Chief Administrative Officer Terri Daly received
Don Semon a severance package worth about $187,000, when she resigned in 2014. Daly also received nine month’s severance pay.
The Board of Supervisors at the time agreed to accept Daly’s resignation. Daly at the time said it was a mutual decision for her to resign. Treasurer-Tax Collector Karen Coleman confirmed with the Mountain Democrat that the Health and Human Services director’s compensation was about $220,000, which would put Semon’s severance payout at more than $165,000. n

Spring’s beauty in a patch of poppies surrounds the “The Ish Trail” monument on the El Dorado Trail, where a segment of the trail is dedicated in memory of El Dorado County sheriff’s deputy Brian Ishmael, who was killed in the line of duty Oct. 23, 2019.
Memorial Day 2022
Veterans who passed away to be honored John Poimiroo El Dorado County Veterans Alliance The names of veterans who passed away in the preceding year will be read at ceremonies held on Memorial Day at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville. “We have added this tribute to recently departed veterans to Memorial Day ceremonies,” said Gary Campbell, president of the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance that oversees ceremonies and memorials at the monument.
The reading of departed veterans will occur prior to placement of a wreath commemorating the service and sacrifice of fallen warriors. “Ceremonial aspects of programs held each Memorial Day and Veterans Day at the Veterans Monument are quite moving and include fly overs by World War II warbirds, a missing man formation, a parade of flags carried by representatives of veterans and youth organizations, patriotic music, speeches, presentations of scholarships to the children of veterans, the playing of taps by a bugler and
presentation of colors,” Campbell said. “This year, we will follow the ceremony with presentation of lapel pins to Vietnam War era veterans who served between 1955 and 1975 and who have not previously received one of these pins thanking them for their service,” he said. “Memorial Day is a day of reflection and remembrance,” Campbell continued. “At this moment when the costs of war are so vividly being shown, Memorial Day has special emotional context when we think of our fallen heroes and what they paid and lost to serve the cause of freedom.”

Harry Norris
July 11, 1944 – April, 7, 2022
Harry Norris, a loved and respected resident and business man in El Dorado County, passed away peacefully at Marshall Hospital April 7. Harry was born in Denver, Colo., July 11, 1944, together with his twin sister Gerri. Harry attended high school in Denver, then graduated from Colorado State University in 1967. Not long after graduation, he enlisted in the Army just as he was about to be drafted. He enrolled in officers candidate school and after six months training joined the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and subsequently went to the 101st Airborne Division. He served as airborne infantry platoon leader in Vietnam for 12 months, achieving the rank of 1st Lt. His medals included Bronze Star with v-device, oak leaf cluster and combat air medal, among others. Harry was proud of his service, but was not one to linger on the past. His goal was to build a future with his wife Jan and young son, Brian. Harry’s early career was as territory manager for Amoco Oil in California, Utah and Iowa, where he would interface between company and independent service station managers, using his business acumen to help the dealers run successful businesses that strived for the highest levels of integrity and customer service. Harry and Jan wanted to return to California and Harry, having a strong entrepreneurial spirit, had always thought of having his own station. Just when he was going to be transferred even further east, fortune smiled on him when, in 1984, the El Dorado Hills 76 staton was put up for sale. Harry worked the numbers and felt this would be a great opportunity and moved his family to El Dorado Hills. He and Jan worked hard, made a great success of the business and as they say, the rest is history. For 25 years that station was a landmark. He had many customers who became great friends. Sadly, in 2007, his wife Jan passed away, leaving great sadness for Harry, his family and friends. He persevered, worked hard, involving himself in the community and county he loved. He was a member of the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club and proudly served 10 years on the El Dorado County Office of Education and was elected for two terms on the El Dorado Irrigation District. Harry sold his station in 2009 but continued to devote himself to county service — 10 years with the Marshall Medical Center Board, nine years on the Snowline Hospice Board of Directors and 13 years on the El Dorado Taxpayers Association. Harry had many dear friends in El Dorado Hills and one of them was, in her estimation, a consumate “matchmaker.” She knew Joy had lost her husband nine years prior and that Harry was an unattached fellow, so she knew, better than they, that these two were perfect for each other, so in 2008, that was “When Harry Met Joy.” They hit it off almost immediately. Joy was happy to be back in El Dorado County where she had lived and her girls had gone to school. Joy and Harry married in 2010 and had a wonderful life together, sailing, taking road trips, swing dancing, having fun with their grandchildren and just enjoying each other for almost 14 years. The one thing Joy wasn’t thrilled about was Harry taking off on his dirt bike, seeking off-road adventure all over the county. However, when he’d come home with a big grin on his face, she figured it was worth a little worry. Harry will be missed and long loved by those left behind; sisters Gerri, Melanie and Valerie; his wife Joy; his son Brian, his wife Rachel and their four grandchildren Zachary, Nicholas, Andrew and Angela, whom he adored. He treated Joy’s grandchildren Chloe and Frankie and her daughter Tracey, as his very own and loved them dearly. As one of his dear friends said when learning of his passing, “Harry is the personification of a ‘good man.’” That he was. A celebration of his life is in the planning and will be announced in the near future. Please email rememberharrynorris@gmail.com.

El Dorado Hills man indicted for fraud News release A 10-count indictment was unsealed Monday against Suneet Singal, 43, of El Dorado Hills, charging him with wire fraud and mail fraud, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced. Between March 2017 and July 2017, Singal engaged in a scheme to make false representations in order to induce financing companies to provide funds to certain companies in the form of merchant cash advances, according to court documents. Merchant cash advances are advances of money in exchange for promises to repay greater amounts of money from future receivables. To obtain the cash advances Singal claimed he was the owner of a company that operated a chain of fast-food franchises, but he did not actually own that company. This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Miriam R. Hinman and Nicholas M. Fogg are prosecuting the case. If convicted, Singal faces a maximum statutory penalty for each count of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or gross loss, whichever is greater. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

2 suspected of DUI in 3-vehicle crash Mountain Democrat staff
A three-car crash on Pleasant Valley Road east of Newtown Road in the Pleasant Valley area sent one driver to Sutter Roseville Medical Center by air ambulance Wednesday. Two of the drivers involved were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. Pollock Pines resident Tracey Kinney, 55, who was driving a 2015 Fiat sedan, reportedly sustained major injuries and was one of the two drivers charged with DUI. Michael Carrigan, 51, of Pollock Pines and stated as Kinney’s boyfriend in the
report, is also suspected of DUI. He was following Kinney in a 1997 Toyota 4Runner but was not injured when their vehicles collided with a 2021 Freightliner truck equipped with log loading machinery driven by Juan Padron of Santa Rosa. Padron was not injured. CHP investigators found all drivers were wearing seatbelts. Kinney was driving eastbound on Pleasant Valley Road at about 1:15 p.m., approaching the Newtown Road intersection at about 45-50 mph, the CHP report states. Carrigan was following closely behind when “due to (Kinney’s) n

So, she created Heroes of Liberty, a company that will publish books on conservatives like Barrett, Ronald Reagan and Thomas Sowell. “You’re indoctrinating kids just like the left does,” I tell her. “That’s a very fair question,” she responds. “My answer is, read the books!” Her top seller is her biography of Sowell, who overcame adversity to Although conservatives become a famous economist. make up about half When Sowell’s the country, book family moved to New York, his publishers rarely try to new teachers put appeal to them. him in a lower grade because they assumed that he couldn’t compete.

Letters to the Editor No flow EDITOR: he Jenkinson Lake streamflow information page on the El Dorado Irrigation District website shows that the Camp Creek Tunnel and Hazel Creek Tunnel have been turned off. Of course, the lake will not fill to capacity if the tunnels designed to fill it are closed. Is this a ploy by the water district to continue to raise our water rates by keeping the water level of the lake around 80% of capacity as it is now? I’m a weather nerd and we have received close to an average yearly amount of rainfall this year at my Placerville residence. With this amount of rainfall, the lake would normally overflow around May. This certainly won’t happen if the inflow of the tunnels is kept off. What is going on? ROBERT TOWNSEND Placerville

Masking EDITOR: ntelligent people make decisions in life ... sometimes we’re right, sometimes we’re wrong. Here are some major decisions most of us might have made or are pondering: 1) Have children, 2) Buy a home or not, 3) Marry or not, 4) Have a relationship or not, 5) Go to college or not, 6) Have chemo or not, 7) and, last but not least, 8) wear a mask or not? Decisions should be your own. Most of us are smart enough to make our own decisions. The government doesn’t need to tell us what to decide. If you don’t agree with no masks, wear one. If getting on a plane with unmasked passengers, wear a mask or don’t fly. It’s simple— make your own decisions. That’s why we are fortunate to live in America. Just sayin’.

Bike trail troubles EDITOR: our recent article regarding bikers taking county land and private land for paths is interesting. One very important element that you failed to bring attention to is naturally occurring asbestos prevalent along New York Creek path from Oak Ridge High School to Jackson Elementary School. One of the highest concentrations of NOA is between Jackson
Y
Elementary School and Governors Village, where the creek goes under the street — about 100 yards from an adult senior living and day care center and about 200 yards from Jackson School. The EDH Community Services District and El Dorado County have a duty to notify and maintain the path used by pedestrians and bikes. This once tranquil 1.5 mile trail was originally only used by pedestrians. It is now being used by motorized bikes and is a training course for the ORHS mountain bike team and mountain bike clubs. When bikes began to use the trail in numbers it disturbed the serpentine, grinding rocks down to a fine dust, which clings to shoes tracked into homes, stores, roads — everywhere a bike goes and a pedestrian walks. In the summer, when the trail dries up and the wind picks up, it moves the dust-borne NOA into homes and the air. It was found in 2004 and 2005 that there was a high level of NOA on the trail — enough to create regulations or trail maintenance use. Samplings were taken and results published before the increased use of the trail by electric bikes, bike clubs and speed trial runs, which has ground away dirt exposing NOA rocks unlike never before. Bikes have eroded the path that was once easy to walk and use by seniors; now it is dangerous to use. Our property backs up to New York Creek Trail. I watch the use of the trail. I witness the destruction of the trail and I am now personally exposed to the NOA. In the last two years my next door neighbor died from cancer, my wife has cancer, a lady across the street died from cancer, a man down the street died from cancer, two men died from cancer several houses up from us. A young man across the creek is dying from cancer and I have been told two children who attend Jackson have cancer. I have had three dogs die from cancer. You have to ask: Is this normal? I have brought up this information to the county health department, CSD, Board of Supervisors. They should at least investigate and, at the least, give the trail back to pedestrians and cover it with decomposed granite. JOHN CORDOVA El Dorado Hills

Too often the mind carries what cannot be physically buried, good or bad. We are frequently impacted by what we keep stored. we have stored up in our minds can often serve us well. Wisdom is gained the hard way. The school of hard knocks is educational and expensive. We pay dearly throughout life to learn the hard way.Thus, what we have stored up can be very valuable to us as we face additional life challenges and opportunities. Your past decisions, work, interests, achievements, failures and mistakes all play a part in where you are today. This could be very good. Or, it could be very bad. If you learned from your mistakes and moved forward then you may be further ahead than you ever imagined. If you didn’t learn from your mistakes and you continue to make them then frustration and sadness is haunting you.
Today is a new day. You can’t change the past. You do not know the future. Live your best life now. Dispose of as much baggage as you can. Do away with old resentments and regrets. Forgive people. Forgive yourself. Don’t live in the cemetery but live with hope of seeing your loved one in a better place. Paul, the author of Philippians said it this way, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 13 books and a columnist published in al 50 states.

books, those are bought in bulk by libraries,” says Mandel. Libraries buy many more books than moms and dads. “(So book publishers) have this incentive built in to churn out progressive ideological books.” That surprised me. I thought of librarians as apolitical. But no, today they are part of the progressive mob; 90% of librarians’ political donations go to Democrats. “It’s our tax dollars buying 1,000 copies of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and zero about Amy Coney Barrett,” Mandel points out. Mandel is frustrated that “girls” children’s literature rarely focuses on motherhood. The books suggest, “You can be a NASA scientist, an entomologist, (but) girls are not taught that you can have all these career ambitions and also be a mother.” Barrett has seven kids. Mandel’s book says: “For Amy, being a mother is no less important than being a judge.” Mandel’s books are mostly about conservatives. She recently released one about John Wayne.
I’m libertarian, not conservative, but I am still glad she’s producing alternatives to what today’s publishers pick. Other authors are fighting back, too. The Tuttle Twins’ books feature libertarians like Frederic Bastiat. Julie Borowski’s books teach kids about the free market. All had to self-publish because traditional publishers were hostile to people like them. Even illustrators turned down Mandel’s books for fear of being “canceled.” “We have a hard time paying people many thousands of dollars to illustrate books! We’re never going to get a book printed about Amy Coney Barrett with a Scholastic (or) Penguin Random House!” Fortunately, a free market can’t be held back forever.

Gas leak prompts evacuation at Ponte Palmero Mountain Democrat staff Twenty-eight Ponte Palmero residents were evacuated Tuesday morning after a propane leak was detected at the Cameron Park retirement community. Dispatched just before 10 a.m., firefighters were able to identify the “minor” leak coming from a malfunctioning underground tank near apartment building B, according to Cal Fire officials. Workers with AmeriGas
reportedly arrived at about 10:40 a.m. to stop the leak in the 1,000-gallon propane tank. Residents who had been evacuated to Ponte Palmero’s clubhouse were able to return to their apartments after 4 p.m. Personnel from the Cameron Park Fire Department, Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit and the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the Ponte Morino Drive incident.

pandemic the department shifted to an online-only instruction model. While in-person classes are being offered again, the online-only course will remain an option. CDFW administers the Hunter Education Program along with managing nearly 1,000 volunteer hunter education instructors, who conduct the actual instruction. The in-person portion of the instruction involves hands-on training, including safe handling of firearms, loading
of the (criminal justice) system as long as they comply with their court orders and treatment mandates,” O’Connell said. Other plans for Stepping Up include an expansion of mobile crisis units through state funding, building out data infrastructure and implementing a data exchange planning project that would facilitate the exchange of information between involved agencies. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl, who has been involved with Stepping Up since its beginnings, questioned why jail booking data from 2019 hasn’t been updated. “The inference from previous discussions was to get data that was meaningful to look at trends and understand if we are doing better or not,” Hidahl said. “We have a baseline in 2019 but we don’t have the data beyond that to share.” O’Connell said COVID-19-related restrictions caused a reduction in jail bookings. “That doesn’t mean people are better off,” O’Connel said. “COVID kind of created a puzzle for what comes next, which is why we thought it would be better to wait to report out once we better know how is the justice system adapted, how did COVID force it to adapt and how did behavioral health systems continue to evolve with that.” According to the Stepping Up website, 37 California counties have implemented the program, including San Joaquin, Calaveras, Nevada and Sacramento. El Dorado County data shows 29% of 5,724 jail bookings in 2019 had mental health needs. Out of that 29% the county calculated an average jail stay of 16 days. These individuals were also rebooked on average seven times since 2017.

Sheep munch away at Cronan Ranch vegetation in Pilot Hill.
Sheep grazing invasive plants and fire fuels Bureau of Land Management PILOT HILL — A flock of nearly 900 sheep have arrived at the Bureau of Land Management’s Cronan Ranch to start their summer of reducing wildfire threat by grazing on troublesome yellow starthistle and medusahead plants. A sheep herder will manage the flock, moving them across 1,000 acres with assistance from herding dogs and a livestock protection dog. The sheep will be removed at the end of August. “This is the seventh year that we have used sheep to control yellow starthistle and medusahead, both invasive weeds, that crowd out native plants and reduce the diversity of vegetation,” said Elizabeth MeyerShields, manager of the BLM Mother Lode Field Office. “Our monitoring has shown that carefully managed sheep grazing has dramatically reduced weed thatch and yellow starthistle.” The sheep help the Bureau of Land Management accomplish two important goals: ensure the health and safety of public lands through hazardous fuels reduction; and improve rangeland health by removing or preventing the spread of invasive plants species. After six years of grazing vegetation monitoring has shown a marked

There are now three formats available for earning a hunter education certificate: Traditional: The traditional hunter education course is the same as it was pre-pandemic, consisting of a minimum of 10 hours of classroom instruction, homework and field instruction. The traditional course allows for individual interaction with an instructor and is most often preferred by and recommended for first-time hunters. Traditional courses are offered in multiple languages throughout the state. Hybrid: This option, which was offered prior to the pandemic, allows the student to complete the majority of the academic based learning online. Once this is complete, the student attends a four-hour follow-up class which includes instructor lead review and hands-on training. Online-only: The online only certification course was implemented

decrease in yellow starthistle and a notable decrease in medusahead. These invasive weeds leave behind dense patches of thatch, or dead vegetation, which can contribute to wildfire spread. Grazing has also dramatically decreased the thatch, reducing fuel loading and the risk of wildfire. In addition, native species diversity has increased, and wildflowers are blooming across the recreation area this spring, including some that have not been seen on the ranch before. The Cronan Ranch Trailhead provides access to 12 miles of trails for non-motorized uses including hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, bird watching and other recreation. BLM officials encourage the public to recreate responsibly on public lands and take precautions by adhering to posted grazing signs. Specifically, when sheep are present, folks recreating are advised to avoid conflict with sheep and livestock dog(s) by stopping and dismounting if mountain biking, put your bike between you and the sheep and/ or dog(s), walk your bike until you are well past the sheep, keep your distance from the flock, keep your dog(s) leashed at all times, watch for the protection dog(s) and the herder and remain calm and quiet if dog(s) or sheep approach.

as a result of COVID-19 and will remain an option to earn hunter education certification. Prospective hunters may go to wildlife.ca.gov/ Hunter-Education for more information on how to sign up for a course. To raise safety and conservation awareness, California’s first hunter education law was enacted in 1954. California requires hunter education training for those who have never held a California hunting license, who do not have a hunter education certificate or who do not have a hunting license from another state or province issued within the past two years. In-person instructor-led courses are offered throughout the state by hunter education instructors with an extensive track record of dedication to educating new hunters about firearm safety and handling, sportsmanship and ethics, wildlife management and conservation, archery, black powder firearms, wildlife identification, game care, first aid and survival.

“When I heard this announcement about the severance pay for the director of Health and Human Services reported out of closed session yesterday, I was surprised,” Coleman states in an email to the Mountain Democrat. “This payout goes beyond what is in the agreement by about $55,000. This decision is not good for the county’s taxpayers or for the morale of the dedicated employees of our county.” According to the county salary and benefits resolution for unrepresented employees, adopted Feb. 4, 2020, if the county terminates any department heads, they are entitled to six months’ base salary if employed for at least one year. Semon became the Health and Human Services director in 2019. The resolution also states that department heads are not entitled to severance pay if they resign but that any appointed department head will
release all claims against the county as a condition for severance pay. If the county had gone with the six-month agreement, the payout would have amounted to more than $110,000, according to Coleman. “The board’s action was a mistake. This huge payout will be very bad for morale and is unfair to the taxpayers,” Harn said. “The county has a number of very hardworking employees and they won’t understand this board action.” At the Board of Supervisor’s meeting April 19, County Counsel David Livingston announced an agreement had been executed on a 3-2 vote in a closed session item, with District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo and District 4/Chair of the Board Lori Parlin dissenting. On April 25 supervisors will vote to approve Daniel Del Monte as interim director of Health and Human Services via consent calendar.

LAKE TAHOE — In March the Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team received a 2022 National Wildfire Mitigation Award for innovation and leadership in wildfire mitigation. The award recognizes outstanding service at the federal, state, local and tribal levels of government and at the community level. It is the highest national honor an organization can receive for exceptional work and significant program impact in wildfire preparedness and mitigation. The National Association of State Foresters, National Fire Protection Association, USDA Forest Service and the International Association of Fire Chiefs established the award in 2014 to recognize effective wildfire mitigation projects and programs throughout the United States. “We’re honored that the committee selected our team for this award,” said Scott Lindgren, fire chief of Tahoe-Douglas Fire Protection District. “It reflects the important work that our community members, land managers and fire agencies do every day to prepare for the next
wildfire.” The Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team is Lake Tahoe’s partnership of 21 federal, tribal, state and local organizations dedicated to managing Tahoe’s forests and preparing communities for wildfire. The team focuses on multiple aspects of fire prevention, landscape resilience and community wildfire preparedness, including home hardening, defensible space, fuel reduction, prescribed fire, data hub management and unified public information and community outreach. Since 2008 the partner agencies of the team have treated 65,000 acres in Tahoe’s wildland-urban interface across all land ownerships. The team also works directly with residents on wildfire preparation. In the last five years team members conducted over 25,000 defensible space inspections, responded to over 6,000 curbside chipping requests and reached thousands of people through over 200 community events and workshops.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). One thing you’ll be extremely good at is forming friendships and weaving them into larger networks. This opens many resources for this weekend’s projects. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being generous feels wonderful but don’t cheat yourself, or feelings turn to shades of loss, sadness, anger and pain. When in doubt, do nothing until you’re sure about what you can afford, emotionally and otherwise. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be deals presented to you. Beware of situations where the money is more important than the work. Tonight will be like a fast car: safety first, then have a blast. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Group goals should technically be easier to reach because the work is divided. Keep in mind that if the work isn’t more or less equally divided, there will be resentments when it’s time to divvy up the prize. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll achieve what only mature people are able to: You’ll be an objective witness to your own behavior. Feelings are not puppeteers. You will acknowledge your emotions without letting them drag you around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Peer pressure is a fact of humanity. Wherever people are, there’s a pressure to conform to their opinions and behaviors. It’s a good reason to spend as little time as possible with people who undervalue you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stories get exaggerated, pictures get altered, facts get tampered with. You’ll get a better sense of things you witness firsthand, but even then, there are obstacles to perfect perception. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The logic you followed before suddenly seems less reliable. You’ll navigate with something different. An innate knowing rises up to move you past other kinds of processing. It’s like the decision is making itself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to be perfect to be loved, liked or included. You don’t have to be perfect to be persuasive, effective or accomplished. You don’t have to be perfect, period. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s as though you can feel someone thinking about you and sense the subsequent reach out before it happens. It’s because you are connected at a deep level, working through a joint karma. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep pushing through the challenge. Things may not come to fruition as quickly as you’d like, but you can trust that eventually you will know the deep satisfaction of having accomplished what you set out to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You bring warmth to interactions. People feel safe with you and there’s a sense that you’re all on the same side. Where mysteries and manipulation once existed, someone will let down their guard and tell you how it really is.

Tahoe wildfire awareness campaign established Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — El Dorado County supervisors unanimously approved a proclamation Tuesday for a wildfire awareness campaign that will last through summer and into fall. The Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to support the Lake Tahoe Wildfire Awareness Campaign, which will run May through October. May has historically been known as Wildfire Awareness Month, but with the increase in severity and duration of fire season, and the economic and social impact, the board signed off on running an education campaign for the duration of fire season. “This is about education,” said District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel, who recommended the campaign to
the board. The theme for this year is “Tahoe Wildfire Ready.” Supervisors also approved sending a letter to Congressman Tom McClintock that supports his legislation (House of Representatives Bill 6903) that would require the U.S. Forest Service to attempt to suppress wildfires within 24 hours. Congressman Doug LaMalfa also sponsored the legislation. Supervisors added in the letter that more be done relative to overall forest management and fire suppression activities and to have some flexibility with the 24-hour requirement. “Upon listening to our local fire professionals and constituents, we feel a more holistic approach should be taken relative to overall forest n

Sutter Roseville Medical Center officials told the Mountain Democrat Thursday morning that Kinney remained in serious condition. Carrigan was booked into the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville and later released. Jail inmate data shows misdemeanor DUI charges against him.

7- Elementz offers wellness Jana Rossi Staff writer Paul Frampton has followed his passion for more than 34 years, practicing and teaching martial arts to adults and children throughout El Dorado and Placer counties. Today, he continues to share his craft with students at his brand-new 7-Elementz Wellness Studio, located at 5005 Windplay Drive in El Dorado Hills. He told the Mountain Democrat he named the studio after seven principles: health awareness, physical proficiency, mental proficiency, weapons proficiency, disarmament proficiency, grappling proficiency and striking proficiency. Frampton’s new endeavor is something he said he has been considering for quite some time. “It is something that I have always wanted to do,” he shared. “Something that nobody else does.” To Frampton, his teachings are more than just martial art movements. While he offers everything from Jujitsu, to boxing to self-defense and karate, his primary goal is to not just teach techniques but to help improve his clients’ health and mindset. Each private session is tailored toward the participant. He takes great pride in his teaching of Adaptive, Therapeutic Karate, endorsed by the Alta Regional Center, a private, nonprofit corporation that provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities. Through his program, Frampton works with individuals who have varying disabilities and challenges, such as cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, among others. A full child assessment is given in order to

PAUL FRAMPTON create the best wellness plan. He will even work with school IPPs and IEPs. The intent of ATK Intervention is to address each individual’s need. Frampton has programs geared toward women (offering protective thinking and situational awareness) and law enforcement (having previous experience working with FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, county agencies and correctional officers). He said he is excited to give back to the community and will work around his members’ schedules and their budgets, not forcing them to commit to unreasonable monthly dues and offering pay as you go or numbers of sessions as options. Frampton said he hopes his studio will be a place for members to utilize the space in a way that works for them. Whether it be a private karate session, a group of friends learning self-defense, kids’ birthday parties or team building sessions, Frampton said he will curtail the program to fit the environment.

management and fire suppression activities,” the letter stated. “Examples include legislative and policy changes relative to overall forest management, forest thinning projects on both public and private land, investing in longterm agreements for timber that foster investments in new and sustainable lumber and biomass facilities, increasing work on defensible space and community resiliency projects and utilizing both prescribed and natural fire where safe and appropriate. “Lastly, we want to ensure that any proposed legislation allows our
firefighting professionals the ability to use all tools available to them and the flexibility to make the most prudent decisions as possible depending on the nature and risks of each fire, while holding them accountable for doing it safely,” the letter continued. “Due to the high fuel loads and extreme weather conditions, our firefighter professionals must have the flexibility to adjust to the specific circumstances of each fire, recognizing there may be circumstances when it is not in the best interest to extinguish a fire within 24 hours.”

l Dorado Musical Theatre brings a classic musical, including all 76 trombones, to colorful life at Oak Ridge High School’s theater, April 22-30. Written by Meredith Willson, “The Music Man” has been regaling audiences since 1957, garnering six Tony Awards. When traveling huckster Harold Hill hits River City, Iowa, to play his grift of selling band instruments and uniforms to local youth with the promise of teaching them “overnight” how to play ... things go awry. He meets pragmatic and beautiful Marian Paroo, who proves to be his foil and intellectual equal. Of course, Hill falls in love. As the grift plays out Hill’s nemesis, another traveling salesman, is bent on exposing Hill for the con man he is. Hill is set to escape town, just in the nick of time, but stays for his love of Paroo. In the end Hill is vindicated when the town’s boys play a terrible rendition of “Minuet in G” and the townsfolk embrace them (and Hill), providing the

Professor Harold Hill (Zach Wilson) and cast rehearse “76 Trombones” in El Dorado Musical Theatre’s production of “The Music Man,: running April 22 through May 1. show’s major theme of faith. Hill had woken up a sleepy town, infusing energy and a sense of fun that was a welcome change. The townsfolk have changed because of his arrival — and that is good enough for them. Directed by EDMT Artistic Director Debbie Wilson, “The Music Man” features a cast of more than 40 actors, ranging 10 to 22 years old.
“‘The Music Man’ is a perfectly written musical,” said Wilson. “I love this script. It shows a slice of America in 1912 complete with the slang and opinions of the time.” Wilson said the script is witty, very funny, and heartwarming, as are the characters. The music is rich, fun and one of the most memorable scores ever written.
“Chances are good that you will be humming one of the songs after the performance,” she added. Choreographer Anjie Rose Wilson, noted the beloved songs that make “ The Music Man” so memorable — “76 Trombones,” “Trouble” and “Shipoopi.” “These classic pieces insist on traditional and technical dancing that our cast
has approached with professionalism and refinement,” she shared. “The orchestration in this show makes you want to get up and dance yourself.” The show runs April 22-30 with Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening shows and Saturday and Sunday matinees.

This exhibit features ceramic sculptures by Karen Calden Fulk and digital paintings by Michael Tofanelli. It is open to the public April 22 through June 30. Also during this time, works from El Dorado Hills Arts Association members will be on display in the Community Gallery. Fulk combines caricature and fine art, with the challenge always being the likeness. “The human face and body language are an endless fascination,” explained Fulk. In this series, using expression and gesture, she tries to capture a classic moment of each of her famous subjects. Some sculptures also have a favorite quote stamped on the back and

She also studied with famed artists from that school at the time — Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, David Gilhooley, Stephen Kaltenbach and later Tony Natsoulas. Tofanelli has been a freelance illustrator and party caricaturist for more than 30 years, since graduating from San Francisco’s Academy of Art University. “My artistic voice was born early in my childhood as cartoons on TV and Mad Magazine fueled my picture making ambitions. A visual sense of humor and taste for satire evolved over the years, along with a keen interest in what I felt was the most challenging subject an artist can tackle — the human face,” said the artist. “A good caricature is a shortcut to the truth of a ■

By joining forces with these arts organizations, ARC is leveraging their audiences’ motivation and excitement around Earth Day. The artists are integrating climate data from as early as 1850 to the present day, along with live data from trees, to develop visual and musical works that will be performed and
projected together at the event. “We are using real world data as a way to creatively express change in the environment and connection to place,” said video artist Ameera Godwin, co-founder of Myrtle Tree Arts and artistic director of the event. “Paul Godwin, Elena DeLacy and I got together with Zack Dowell at the Innovation Center,

buttered and salty ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ HH 1/2 PG, 2 hours 2 minutes Animation, Action, Adventure Now playing in theaters
Joshua B. Porter
O
ne of the last Democrat correspondent box office hits before the world shut down due to COVID was “Sonic the Hedgehog” (HHH), a surprise to Paramount Pictures due to not only the difficult production (audiences loathed the look of the little blue mammal in the first trailer so the studio went back and re-did the FX) as well as the normally abysmal box office video game adaptations usually garner. Once they had a domestic and international hit on their hands a sequel was inevitable. The first film was charming due to the “fish out of water” aspect of Sonic trying to find his place in the world while hiding from humanity. He befriends a local sheriff (James Marsden) and together they go on an almost buddy cop-type adventure to defeat

the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). The film was endearing for families and had a few laughs. Most importantly, they didn’t deviate too far from source material (the Sega game series), which will usually lead to fans rewarding you. When the first one came out in early 2020 my son wasn’t old enough to sit in a theater and watch the film without talking non-stop or attempting to run around like the titular character himself. He loved the original when it was released on disc and I figured, after a successful trip to see “The Iron Giant” at the Crest Theater last year, it was time to try a movie theater trip with a new film. So what was the verdict from the little man? The 5-year-old (5-and-a-half if you ask him) liked it. When I asked which part, he said, “All of it,” though I did notice he didn’t talk about specific moments days later like he did with the original film. This might be due to it being so loud and manic that it doesn’t slow down and allow the charm of the first one to take hold. There’s really nothing new here, other than two new characters (Tails and Knuckles) that fans of the video game series will know. An extended middle section of the film diverts to a secondary character going full Bridezilla is so tedious and unnecessary I wondered what studio executive thought this would be a funny divergence that adults would love. Both myself and the 5-yearold’s eyes glazed over that 15-minute story thread. For those wondering: He was very good the whole runtime of the movie. Side note: He loves popcorn. All in all, if you are a fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise or the first film you will find plenty to enjoy. There will no doubt be a “part 3” considering the box office numbers this one is bringing in. Unfortunately we have already entered the realm of diminishing returns.

After almost two full seasons in the books for “Star Trek: Picard” I have to finally ask: has the showrunner or team of writers seen more than two or three episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation?” I ask this question because the social themes of both the original series (1966-69) with William Shatner and company as well as “The Next Generation” (1987-94) that Patrick Stewart starred in were things like hope for mankind’s future and their ability to do great things, not interfering with the natural course of events in other cultures (the “Prime Directive”), problems being solved peacefully and only with force when all other options have been exhausted, characters being (and acting) like brilliant experts in their respective fields, exploration and countless other examples that seem to be completely lacking in this dour and drab modern versions of “Trek” currently being produced. I understand the need to update a franchise that is 56 years old with some fresh eyes and make it accessible to modern audiences. The 2009 film “Star Trek” did a fairly successful job of that, introducing us to a whole new slew of actors playing Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew and sending them off on what would be assumed would be years of adventures. A decade after that Paramount decided to return the franchise to the small screen with several television series streaming on Paramount+. These shows look great and a lot of money has been spent, but they haven’t seemed to spend much of their capital on story. What we get instead is a gritty, depressing future that follows the worst instincts of modern science fiction. Not only is there little optimism, but there is little quality writing. The plot is played loosely, as is the continuity of the “Star Trek” franchise used only when it serves the vapid story. The franchise’s dialog, once interesting, inspiring and built around both science and a type of chain of command of the starship, if you will, is now clunky and bogged down in its attempt to be “hip” and “plucky” by 2022 standards. This doesn’t work for a show that takes place almost 400 years in the future. I’ve really tried to like “Star Trek: Picard.” While there are some good performances by Mr. Stewart as well as John de Lancie (returning as “Q”), the morose story and design of the show makes it a pretty unpleasurable experience. The show runners have already teased that the full “The Next Generation” cast is fully returning for the third (and presumably last) season of “Picard” next year. They would be wise to bring the writers of that show along with them. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the feature film “No Evidence OF Man,” is now being submitted to festivals. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@ mtdemocrat.net.

Issuance of addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be in accordance with the Project Administration section of the Notice to Bidders. In the case of Federally funded projects, where Federal and State prevailing wage requirements apply, compliance with both is required. This Project is funded in whole or part by Federal funds. Comply with Exhibit D of the Draft Agreement and the Copeland Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 29 CFR Part 3), the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3147 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701 and 29 CFR Part 5). AwARD OF CONTRACT: Bids will be considered for award by the Board of Supervisors. The County of El Dorado reserves the right after opening bids to reject any or all bids, to waive any irregularity in a bid, or to make award to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder and reject all other bids, as it may best serve the interests of the County. As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit payment and performance bonds along with evidence of insurance prior to execution of the Agreement by the County. Failure to meet this requirement constitutes abandonment of the Bid by the Bidder and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. Award will then be made to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder. RETAINAGE FROM PAYMENTS: The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the Contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the County, by depositing securities of equivalent value with the County in accordance with the provisions of Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.
