Revised Central EDH plan is more of the same ire as it hinges on a county General Plan amendment to allow zoning to be changed from recreational facilitieshigh intensity to medium and high density residential for the now defunct executive golf course at the El Dorado Hills Boulevard and Serrano Parkway intersection. In 2015 more than 91% of El Dorado Hills voters advised against the zoning change. In January 2020 almost 500 residents turned out to protest the project at a public hearing held at District Church. The Planning Commission’s final recommendation was then delayed due to

The El Dorado County Planning Commission on April 28 will hear Parker Development’s proposal for 1,000 homes along El Dorado Hills Boulevard. The Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan has been in the works for nearly a decade, sparking much community

coronavirus-induced shelterin-place orders as well as consideration of an updated traffic evaluation metric, VMT or Vehicle Miles Traveled. Only Planning Commission Chair Jon Vegna was present for the four previous hearings. As the remaining commissioners are new to the project, the April hearing will be conducted as an informational orientation. The commission currently plans to hold deliberations on May 12 during which a final recommendation is anticipated to be forwarded to the county board of supervisors. The public is

welcome to attend both meetings, in-person or virtually. Parker intends to build over two areas, Pedregal and Serrano Westside, on which lies the old golf course — 237 residential units are specified for the Pedregal area, while Serrano Westside would house 763 units. Density ranges between less than one to more than 20 units per acre, with the highest density slated for the golf course parcel. Eleven acres are set aside for civiclimited commercial use and a 15-acre village park would sit alongside Highway 50. The

plan also calls for a total of 190 acres of open space/parks and 1.5 miles of a Class I bike and pedestrian trail. The latest proposal’s only shift from previous iterations lies in the connection of El Dorado Hills Boulevard to Silva Valley Parkway via Country Club Drive. “We have changed the Country Club Drive alignment to start at Serrano Parkway as opposed to running through the shopping center and connecting that way to El Dorado Hills Boulevard,” revealed Parker n

2 women plead guilty in animal cruelty case Margaret Williams El Dorado County Health and Human Services Jennifer Cowles, 48, and her mother Adele Painter, 71, both of El Dorado, have pled guilty to animal cruelty charges in a case where multiple animals were exposed to inhumane Jennifer Cowles conditions and severe neglect. The guilty pleas came April 19 in El Dorado County Superior Court. The animals involved in the case — including multiple dogs whose mouths were duct taped shut to keep them quiet, forcing them to go extended periods of time Adele Painter without water, and at least one horse that was severely malnourished — were removed by El Dorado County Animal Services staff and given shelter and needed medical care. “What these animals endured was horrific,” said Henry Brzezinski, chief of El Dorado County Animal Services. “Thankfully we were able to intervene, provide assistance to them and bring resolution to this case.” Cowles pled guilty to one felony count of animal cruelty and Painter to a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge, according to Brzezinski.

Alfred (Fast Freddy) Wren

DUI suspected in wreck that killed motorcycle rider Mountain Democrat staff

May 30, 1955 – April 9, 2022

My love, Fred was born in Nuremberg, Germany on May 30, 1955, to Alfred and Johanna Wren, while Al was in the Army. After Germany, they moved to Fullerton, Calif., to be near family. Fred married his first wife, Carol, in 1973 and had three amazing children, Jason, Valerie and Michelle. He relocated his family to Oklahoma to work with his uncles at WrenCo for several years. Fred then moved his family to Norco until he decided that southern California was not where he wanted to raise his children, so they moved to Pollock Pines where he worked at the local Ace Hardware until it was closed. Fred found his dream job in 1991 working at Hangtown Ace Hardware as the store manager where he thrived with his great sense of humor, personality and well-rounded knowledge. The Mountain Democrat ran a contest where its readers selected their favorite merchants. Fred received the Friendliest Merchant Award in 1999. Fred married his second wife, Lorna, in 1999. After living in Nevada they settled back in the Placerville area to pursue Fred’s passion of owning his own business. He found it in 2014 with El Dorado Lube Express and changed the name to Fast Freddy’s Lube Express, a dream come true for Fred and Lorna. Fred has earned the Mountain Democrat’s Reader’s Choice Award for Best Oil Change in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Fred will forever be remembered in the community for his shining personality and great wit. He was always the funniest guy in the room. No one will ever forget that! Fred lost his battle with cancer surrounded by his loving wife, children and grandchildren on April 9. His loving family includes his mother Johanna Wren; brothers, John (Jane) Wren, Steve (Sue) Wren; children Jason (Jessica) Wren, Valerie (Zach) Berry and Michelle Mendenhall (Mike), stepchildren Brie Fugate (Dave) and Andy Hardie and 14 grandchildren. Remembrances can be made to Snowline Hospice. There will be a Celebration of Fred’s Life on May 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Diamond Springs Firefighters Memorial Hall (behind the fire station) on 3734 China Garden Road.

District 5 candidates participate in first forum snowstorm pushed the event onto Zoom. Candidate Kenny Curtzwiler participated in the meeting from his phone in front of the recreation center so he could let people who didn’t get the memo know about the venue change. The Zoom meeting maxed out at 100 participants and those in the virtual waiting room were admitted as some left the meeting. Many of the questions focused on Tahoe-specific issues such as vacation home rentals in Meyers and over-tourism, while others focused on countywide issues like housing and fire safety. The four candidates — Curtzwiler,

• Second candidate forum planned tomorrow night Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — After a last-minute venue change due to weather the four candidates for supervisor of El Dorado County’s District 5 gathered remotely Thursday for the first forum of the election. The forum, which was hosted by the El Dorado League of Women Voters, was originally to be held at the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Center but the late-season

Brooke Laine, Jeffrey Spencer and Tamara Wallace — were all cordial with each other and respectful of forum rules, such as the two-minute time limit for answers. When asked about Tahoe becoming the playground for the wealthy and the needs of tourists being more important than the residents, both Laine and Wallace said there needs to be a way to balance between needs of both tourists and residents. Laine, a small business owner born and raised in South Lake, said she’s felt those concerns herself. “There needs to be a strict balance between the tourist experience versus the quality of life of the

residents,” Laine said. Wallace echoed Laine’s sentiments, adding, “It’s a double-edged sword; many residents rely on tourists to survive.” Wallace is also a small business owner. Spencer, a transportation planner who has been outspoken on traffic congestion in Meyers, said this issue was one of his main reasons for running. Residents will often sequester themselves at home during the tourist season and if they are stuck at home, they aren’t able to contribute to the local economy. Curtzwiler, a contractor in the Tahoe area, said over-tourism was n

Auditor bows out of development negotiations News release El Dorado County Auditor-Controller Joe Harn informed the Board of Supervisors last week he will decline the invitation to participate in closed-door development agreement negotiations regarding the General Plan amendment proposed by Parker Development Company for the Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. “Back in 2017 and 2018 I did participate in (development agreement) negotiations for this drastic change to our voter approved General Plan, but I did so based on the condition that the El Dorado Hills Community Services District have a seat at the table,” Harn states in a news release.

EDH plan

“The meeting invitations that I have received in 2022 exclude the CSD.” Harn also maintains in his statement that he and the Board of Supervisors are “not on the same page … regarding large west county housing projects.” “In 2019 I appealed the county’s approval of a Serrano Associates’ subdivision on Bass Lake Road because road improvements were, and are still, needed and because a 30-year-old (development agreement) park construction requirement was not being enforced,” he notes. “The board ignored my appeal. Now, it is 2022, and a park that was promised to the public in 1989 has still not been built. I am not opposed to residential development but I differ from the board in that I believe

that developers need to pay for all the needed infrastructure up front.” The “final straw,” as the auditor calls it in his news release, was when Harn said he emailed the CAO stating that the infrastructure requirements in the draft development agreement are too loose and don’t assure that required developer infrastructure would actually be constructed. “Shortly after I sent the email Supervisor John Hidahl called me stating that stricter infrastructure requirements were not necessary and he attempted to lobby me for the Parker Development preferred language,” Harn shares. “At that point I reached the conclusion I would be negotiating against both the developer and Supervisor Hidahl.”

Continued from A1

Development representative Kirk Bone. “That was a request that came in response to comments from the public three years ago. After looking at those we concluded that moving that alignment off to Serrano Parkway might make more sense.” The connection now travels directly through the proposed residential area, avoiding the Saratoga Way/Park Drive intersection, and requires a new signalized intersection at Serrano Parkway and the proposed Country Club Drive extension. According to language in the revised final environmental impact report, this requires an adjustment of the northbound right turn lane onto Serrano Parkway from El Dorado Hills Boulevard. “The existing large radius yield right-turn movement on the northbound approach to the EDH Blvd./Serrano Pkwy/Lassen Lane intersection was assumed to be relocated to the intersection to increase the intersection spacing between El Dorado Hills Boulevard and Country Club Lane on Serrano Parkway. With this modification, the intersections would be spaced about 600 feet apart,” states the report. In addition, traffic analysis for the El Dorado Hills Boulevard/ Serrano Parkway/Lassen Lane intersection shows exacerbated level of service from level of service B to D/F for near term conditions. “There are no (other) changes to the proposed project,” affirmed Bone. He referred to the two alternatives presented last year — one for land use pursuant to existing zoning and the other for a 1,200-unit senior living facility on the unused executive golf course — as “no-project alternatives.”

As of press time, Bone reported that the development agreement is still under negotiation. “I don’t know whether it will be ready or not by the April 28 hearing,” he said. “Clearly it will be available well in advance of the second Planning Commission hearing.” Parker Development has assured the project will be fiscally neutral, costing the county nothing while generating various fees such as a Community Benefit Fee that could potentially add up to approximately $4.5 million, as well as property transfer fees and $20 million in traffic impact fees. But community sentiments have been overwhelmingly against the project, prevailing arguments centering around the project’s rezone requirement of the golf course. Residents raised issues such as traffic, inconsistency with the General Plan, water, environment, geology, impacted schools, property rights, land use technicalities, affordable housing and preservation of cultural artifacts. Some pointed out that the two parcels should be considered separate projects. Many expressed feelings that the property is iconic to El Dorado Hills and they would loathe to see it covered in rooftops. Although negotiation attempts by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District to secure the golf course have as yet come to naught, district staff continues to explore possibilities for the land, such as golf short courses, gamified golf and even a surf park. Planning Commission meetings are held at 8:30 a.m, 2850 Fairlane Court in Placerville. To listen call (530) 621-7603 or (530) 621-7610. To livestream visit edcgov-us.zoom. us/j/87285670946.

Parker intends to build over two areas, Pedregal and Serrano Westside, on which lies the old golf course — 237 residential units are specified for the Pedregal area, while Serrano Westside would house 763 units. Density ranges between less than one to more than 20 units per acre, with the highest density slated for the golf course parcel.

California Matters

Californians turn negative on high tax burdens

alifornia taxpayers faced a trifecta of taxes this month as they filed federal and state income tax returns and paid their semi-annual property tax bills. Their payments underscored California’s well-deserved DAN WALTERS reputation of being a high-tax state. Measured by either a percentage of personal income or a share of economic output, California’s state and local taxes are the fifth highest of any state, according to the Tax Foundation. Personal and corporate income taxes, state and local sales taxes and local property taxes, plus dozens of lesser levies, such as gasoline and utility taxes, generate something north of $400 billion a year for officials to spend. Californians also pay another half-trillion dollars or so into the federal treasury each year ($472 billion in 2019). On average, Californians are coughing up more than $20,000 each. So, to paraphrase “Goldilocks and the Californians bear Three Bears,” are one of the nation’s Californians’ taxes too highest tax burdens high, too low or just about right? and two new polls California’s indicate they are preeminent polling resenting it. organizations, UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies and the Public Policy Institute of California, tested that question in recent surveys and found Californians are somewhat resentful about the taxes they pay. The Berkeley-IGA poll found, “About two in three voters (64%) consider the federal and state income taxes that they and their family have to pay are too high. This represents a 10 percentage-point increase in the proportion of voters who said this six years ago, the last time a comparable question about income taxes was included in a statewide voter poll.” One factor in the perception that taxes are too high is that an increasing number of those surveyed said their personal financial situations had declined in the past year. “The findings indicate that many Californians are feeling pinched in today’s economy,” G. Cristina Mora, IGS co-director, said. A slightly earlier PPIC poll found similar sentiments.

Letters to the Editor Fly our flag EDITOR: his letter is in regard to our American flag not flying over our courthouse here in Placerville. It has been a year-and-a-half, maybe, that our American flag has not been flown over our courthouse. I have questioned the sheriff several times regarding this situation. Below are the reasons I have been given: • The rope on the flag pole was broken. • The flag was too small. • We can’t fly the American flag unless we fly the California flag and we don’t have a California flag. On Valentine’s Day of this year, the American flag was flying without the California flag. Then no flag was flying for two to three weeks. Then again, the American flag was being put up by the sheriff ’s deputy without the California flag. This went on for several weeks. After that, no flag was being flown. I asked the deputy at the front door why there was no flag. His response: “It is raining outside?” I’m not sure what he meant as the sun was shining. I have offered several times to buy a flag but have been refused. My friend has contacted several city offices to try to ascertain who is directly responsible. She also contacted Tom McClintock, who gave her the number to the administration of the county court system. I called them but have received no response. I love this country and am very proud to be an American citizen It means a great deal to me to see our flag flying over our courthouse. JANET RODGERS Placerville

April is National Poetry Month EDITOR: o celebrate National Poetry Month poems were placed in hiding along Main Street, Placerville. The idea was to find poems encased in plastic eggs. Directions on each poem advised the finder to bring it to Toogood Cellars April 16 during Third Saturday Art Walk, Poetry Night. The returned poem(s) to be read at the open mic with eligibility for a raffle. However, this did not go according to plan. All the hidden poems were found early on and not returned to Toogood. Later in the day, with no eggs to be found, empty handed poetry attendees expressed disappointment. It should be noted that the poems placed on Main Street were through the efforts of those celebrating Poetry Month with featured poems by some of our local poets. Those in the community who found the poems should know that poetry can inform us of ourselves and the lives we live. It is hoped that the poems are being read and the words considered. There is a lot of language out there that divides people and poetry can be a kind of human communication that can heal divisions and promote the bringing of people together. Poetry can describe human stories without propaganda, or politics, and we can see the world in a wider view. It is hoped that those who found the poems will be inspired to join our growing poetry community in El Dorado County and are invited to bring a poem to Poetry Night at Toogood Cellars, the Third Saturday of every month. Let us gather to tell our stories, the stories of the neighborhood, and beyond the neighborhood. See you there. LARA GULARTE Poet Laureate of El Dorado County, 2021-23

Some organizations have long sought to use the government’s march-in authority as a mechanism to impose price controls, especially on pharmaceuticals. taxpayer-funded insights languished. Not a single new drug was developed from federally funded R&D. The Bayh-Dole Act broke that gridlock by allowing university research labs to retain their patents and license them to private firms in exchange for royalties. The result opened a floodgate of American innovation. The law has helped grow the U.S. economy by up to $1.7 trillion. Over the past 25 years U.S. universities and research institutions have been granted more than 80,000 patents and some 70% of university innovations have been licensed to small companies. The Bayh-Dole Act contains a “march-in” clause, which allows the government to require the patent owner to license additional companies if efforts are not being made to develop the technology. Some organizations have long sought to use the government’s march-in authority as a mechanism to impose price controls, especially on pharmaceuticals. Administrations

since have rejected all such petitions. The Obama-Biden administration dismissed more of these off-base petitions than any other. This petition grossly distorts the Bayh-Dole Act. If it were adopted, innovators would know that anyone could ask the government to “march in” to allow copiers to undercut them in the marketplace. No one would make investments under such conditions. Once again, taxpayer-funded discoveries — like the one that led to the prostate cancer drug the petition concerns — would languish in labs. Protecting innovation isn’t a partisan issue. The Biden administration can prevent a catastrophic drop in privatesector research and development investment by rejecting this latest march-in petition. Niels Reimers is the founder and former executive director of Stanford University’s Office of Technology Licensing. This piece originally ran in the San Jose Mercury News.

Pondo 6-0 with win over rival Oakmont Thomas Frey Staff writer Ponderosa softball is in the driver’s seat in the Foothill Valley League after Ana Niles threw a complete game and the offense scored three hard-earned runs in the Bruins’ 3-1 win over Oakmont Monday. The Bruins are looking for their first league championship since 2012 and hold a two-game lead over Oakmont with six games remaining. “It’s a big win but we’ve got a lot of work left to do. League’s not over yet,” said coach Jim O’Rourke. It’s the first time since 2016 the Bruins have swept the season series against Oakmont — a perennial power in the league. “The preparation that went into it

was huge,” Niles said. “Coming out we knew it was going to be a team win.” Niles came into the game with an earned run average of 1.02 and after striking out nine batters and allowing zero earned runs, that number dipped even lower to 0.90. She also pitched a complete game Saturday in a win over Oak Ridge and said her spin pitches and spots were working with Ream behind the plate Monday. “Ana is literally amazing,” said junior center fielder Payton Oas. “She’s super dependable, always great on the mound and we are just really blessed to have her on this team.” n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). “Sell the sizzle, not the steak” may be the con artist’s creed — then again, not every meal needs the steak. A good sizzle can be applied to myriad options. You’ll bring your unique seasoning to the table today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The day’s success comes from a simple effort to show up and try to do the right thing. Simple isn’t always easy, though. For instance, today, the right thing may seem to take a herculean effort. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Ancient history and old acquaintances will play a role. You can remember the less than ideal scenario from the past and still keep your mood and energy flowing bright. It’s all how you decide to see it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The deadline just ahead doesn’t scare you in the least; in fact, it seems to be pulling you forward. You’ll work faster than ever and with great clarity of thought. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone has their own definition of the good life, and it changes with different ages and stages. What do you really want these days? Your appetites and curiosities will point the way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re growing in efficiency and your efforts will bring plentiful results. The point of diminishing returns will come someday, but it’s not something you have to worry about now. Ride the big wave and enjoy yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll find comfort in the predictable behavior of others. Because you’ve seen someone show up consistently in a certain way, you’ll be ready to make the most of the interaction. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you are looking for will be found within. It’s a hard place to look for things. You need the flashlight of objectivity to help you see the way. A trusted friend will hold it up for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind keeps wandering, a sign that maybe what you’re doing isn’t all that interesting to you right now. Consider changing things up to accommodate your novel cravings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fear will try to take over the bus you’re driving. Don’t let it! Take its ticket to ride but don’t give it the wheel. At best, fear belongs in the back seat, where it can inform you without interfering too much. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You strive to bring out the best in people. Hold this intention and you’re halfway there. Expectations find a way to fulfill themselves. Capricorn and fellow Aquarians figure into the plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Times have changed. New rules are not only necessary but they will be essential to an orderly existence. You’re in a position to influence the new order.

Animal cruelty

Continued from A1

In addition to both being ordered by the court to not possess any animals for 10 years, Cowles will be on two years formal probation and Painter on one year summary probation. Both are subject to search and seizure and restitution to Animal Services. They are also required to notify Animal Services within 48 hours of any change in their address. The case originally began as a commercial kennel investigation in October 2020, when the women, suspected of running a puppy mill, were issued multiple county citations for operating without a commercial kennel license, allowing their horses to run loose and neglecting to provide water for multiple animals, including livestock. Follow-up checks were conducted by Animal Services staff and in June 2021 with the execution of a search warrant evidence of cruelty and severe neglect was found, including dogs with duct tape around their mouths; all the dogs had new wounds and past scarring on their muzzles from continuously being taped over and over again. Evidence of malnourished animals and a horse that was starving, 300 pounds underweight and in need of immediate veterinary treatment to prevent death. Other inhumane conditions were also found, along with records of illegal sales of puppies. Animal Services staff removed the animals from the property — a total of 17 animals (eight dogs, five goats, one sheep and three horses). In October 2021 after Cowles and Painter had been arraigned a follow-up search was conducted to determine if Cowles and Painter were complying with their court ordered conditions of

release. It was determined that they were concealing seven dogs on their property on Goldorado Trail. Two adult dogs were stashed in trash cans and two litters of puppies were dumped in the woods behind the house in an attempt to hide the dogs from Animal Services staff. These animals were seized. “Thankfully, these individuals will no longer have animals in their possession,” said Brzezinski. “We’d like to express our gratitude to our agency partners who helped us bring resolution to the case. Many thanks to El Dorado County deputy district attorney Ryan Whyte and the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office, specifically District Attorney Vern Pierson for his continued support of animal crimes prosecution; Det. Chris Macres and the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office; Crossroads and Loomis veterinary hospitals; and Animal Services officer Jessica Rorick and all of the El Dorado County Animal Services officers and shelter staff who provided assistance and care of these neglected animals.” Brzezinski also thanked volunteer Marianne Cann, who gave special care to the starving horse to bring her back to good health. All the animals initially removed from the property have since recovered and been placed with new homes and/or animal welfare partners, according to Brzezinski. The dogs and puppies removed in October 2021 will be placed up for adoption once they have been cleared by the Animal Services veterinarian and are ready for adoption. Pictures and information regarding the animals, when ready for adoption, will be posted to El Dorado County Animal Services’ website at tinyurl.com/mpzyp6v.

Oakmont jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third on an unearned run, and when Oas stepped into the batter’s box to lead off the bottom of the third, she got on base with a single. With sophomore shortstop Brynn Escobar coming to the plate, Oas wanted to get into scoring position. While the pitch was being thrown to Escobar, Oas took off to second. “I knew I had to go and I knew I would be the one that kind of tied us up and got us back in the game,” Oas said. She swiped second base and then advanced to third when Escobar — who hits .500 — successfully moved her over on a ground out. Junior Whitney Montoya got her first of two hits before sophomore Chase Mueller recorded her team-leading 23rd RBI of the season with a sacrifice fly that Oas scored on while Montoya took second on the throw to the plate. Emilee Monell was pitching for Oakmont and she came into the game with a 5-1 record and a 2.29 ERA. She didn’t allow many deep hits and the Bruins beat her in the infield with

by Victor Antonio, Leslie Griffith, Karon Wilson-Lee and Rev. Betsy Vanderpool, who all spoke about ways child abuse can be prevented and how it truly takes an entire community. After their speeches Air Force personnel walked to the flag pole to fly the Child Abuse Prevention Flag high above the fire station on Pleasant Valley Road while Rob Shanko played “America The Beautiful” on his trumpet. “Our children, they cannot articulate as we do,” said Antonio, Child Abuse Prevention Council commissioner and executive director of New Morning Youth and Family Services. “They’re in a place in their life journey in which they are not able to protect themselves so they need people like you and I to be able to advocate and be their voice. I’m asking you to do this for our children what they cannot do for themselves.” He recalled when he first started his more-than-three-decadelong career, he thought he would eventually see a decrease in child abuse and neglect cases. “That has not happened,” Antonio said. “Actually the opposite has happened. Children continue to be traumatized and experience tragedy over and over and over again. I’m on a mission to eliminate child abuse. I’ve heard (people say) I shouldn’t say that because that’s not realistic. But that’s a standard that I’ve placed for myself.” Wilson-Lee, a child abuse prevention advocate, gave a speech she titled “Suspect Abuse, Tell Someone.” She gave examples of what to look for in physical, emotional and verbal abuse, like unexplained bruises and welts in various stages of healing, name calling and put downs. “My challenge to you today is if you see something, say something,” Wilson-Lee stated. “All of us can advocate for children.” In 2021 there were 226 cases of abuse/or neglect reported to county

strong base running. With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Ponderosa freshman Brooklynn Nordquist worked a long at-bat. On the ninth pitch she drew a walk. Just like Oas two innings earlier, Nordquist took off and stole second. Oas came up and hit a grounder that advanced Nordquist to third before Escobar knocked in a bunt single to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead. An inning later Niles got on base with an infield single. Molly McFarland pinch ran and advanced to third on a single by junior Gabby Camina. Senior catcher Samantha Ream came up and bunted in McFarland, who barely beat the throw to the plate for a 3-1 lead that sent the Bruins bench to its feet. “It’s always great when we execute and then score the runs like we are supposed to do,” Niles said. “Our base running was really good today.” Niles walked to the circle for the final frame and calmly retired all three Oakmont batters to win the game. “It really just feels amazing,” Oas said. “This team has so much potential.”

Child Protective Services that were investigated and found to be substantiated, according to Child Welfare Services data. Griffith, an assistant director with the county Health and Human Services Agency, cleared up a common misconception about Child Protective Services. “Many people in the community are fearful of what happens with CPS and if they call and they report that we’re going to take their children,” Griffith said. “That really is not what we are about and that is not what we try to do. We will do it if we have to and if we have no other option to keep children safe, but that is not our mission. We are here to help families.” Last year there were more than 2,500 referrals from community members, doctors, teachers and family members, according to Griffith. “We look at those with a very close eye to determine what our response is going to be,” Griffith said. All month the Child Abuse Prevention Council has been spreading the word about what each person can do to prevent child abuse. Businesses in the community have pinwheels displayed and many in law enforcement as well as community leaders have been wearing the child abuse prevention pin throughout the month, including District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas. “It is so important for us all to understand that CPS is first and foremost primarily there to support our communities and families and it is incumbent on all of us to take care of the kids in our community,” Thomas said. “We do that by being aware and being willing to say something if we even suspect that a child is having difficulties at home and is facing challenges that a child should never have to face.” To report suspected child abuse call the Child Protective Services 24-hour hotline at (844) 756-3699.

something “we did to ourselves,” adding that Tahoe overbuilt neighborhoods and put a strain on resources. Another question asked the candidates was if they would support the city of South Lake Tahoe in annexing Meyers. While all the candidates said they would support the will of the voters, Curtzwiler, as the only candidate who lives in Meyers, noted he knows that no Meyers residents would want that. Laine on the other hand said she’s talked to a few residents who would be interested in that and she felt she could lead the way to making that happen if that’s what voters wanted. While Meyers was a large focus of the night’s conversation, Pollock Pines, Strawberry and Tahoma residents went to the meeting’s chat function to say they were feeling ignored. One asked what the candidates saw as the biggest countywide issue. Spencer said he felt it was growth pressure, adding there aren’t enough resources and there aren’t enough jobs. Laine mentioned the critical need for housing throughout the whole county. “The county is 4,000 units short in affordable housing, low income housing and elderly housing,” Laine said. Wallace agreed that housing was

a large issue but said leaders need to focus on putting housing in areas with the infrastructure to support growth or to focus on building more infrastructure. Piggybacking off that thought, Curtzwiler said he would force developers to put in the infrastructure before they were allowed to break ground on housing developments. Another question was asked about workforce housing, which led Curtzwiler to call out companies like Vail. He said the ski resort management company isn’t doing enough to help solve the problem. Spencer said while lack of housing was an issue, low wages were also a huge part of the problem. He also pointed out that workers needing to commute into the Tahoe Basin have a negative impact on the environment, which is in direct conflict with the basin’s environmental goals. The forum went past the 8 p.m. end time because of the number of questions submitted, including questions about VHRs, homeless issues and uses of the county’s Transient Occupancy Tax. To watch the full forum visit tinyurl. com/aydeb6xv. A second candidate forum will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, hosted by the Tahoe Chamber of Commerce and streamed over Zoom.

tudents, parents and educators packed the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors’ chambers April 19 in anticipation of the 28th annual Surveyors, Architects, Geologists and Engineers of El Dorado County Map Contest awards ceremony. While the supervisors announced the winners, students strode pridefully to their creations to show off their artistic savvy and creative prowess to an impressed and cheering audience before receiving their well-earned awards. County Surveyor Brain Frazier kicked off the event by thanking all volunteers who made the contest possible, including those from the El Dorado & Georgetown Divide Resource Conservation District and AmeriCorps. Nicole Young gave a brief history of SAGE before student winners were announced. The organization has been around for nearly 50 years with members providing and sharing technical expertise to El Dorado County’s communities. Each year it sponsors the popular map contest. “In this regard, SAGE has donated an excess of $7,000 in the past 27 years in awards and prizes to the top student artists to participate in the annual map contest,” Young said. The maps could be seen all around the board dais depicting different aspects of the county, state and country. Winner of the open category, Kayna Patel, a fourth-grader from Louisiana Schnell Elementary School, made a map using clay to depict drought levels throughout the state. Most of it was either red or orange. “Recently, there has been a lot of

Camino Poly Tech student Kayleigh Stanton won first place in the eighthgrade category with her map depicting what each state is known for. “I learned quite a lot about what each state is best known for after taking a trip out of state,” Stanton said. “For example, South Dakota is best known for Mount

Recipients of the El Dorado Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution Recognition and Achievement Awards smile after receiving their certificates.

El Dorado Chapter of DAR welcomes new members, hands out recognitions Special to the Mountain Democrat

he El Dorado Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution had a busy April meeting, welcoming spring with the formal swearing in of two new members to the chapter, Kathryn Hernandez and Carol Bly. The informative program this month included an emphasis on genealogical research. As the national organization describes, DAR members have a common connection in that their ancestors helped in some way to contribute to securing the independence of the United States of America during the period of the Revolutionary War. Special guest Corky Peterson, director of District 5, California State Society DAR, gave a presentation in which she detailed resources often overlooked in proving direct lineages to patriots of the Revolutionary War. In addition, Chapter Regent Ann Chambers took time to present the following members with Chapter Achievement and Recognition Awards: Bonnie Battaglia, Carol Bly, Betty Crockford, Ginger DeGregory, Louise Gibbs, Dr. Sandra

Hand, Colleen Harrison, Linda Sue Jobe, Sally Long Johns, Ruth Swan Johnson, Carole Katzmann, Margi Klein, Robin Lee, Janet Levi, Judy Muetz, Ellen Osborn, Sherry Phillipsen, Janice Pringle and Terri Sanne. In support of the community, the chapter also discussed ways of engaging in the Earth Day Celebration in Pollock Pines as well as supporting the annual Wagon Train event. The El Dorado Chapter of DAR is proud to be a part of both events that are such an important part of the region. The Daughters of the American Revolution is an organization with a deeply rich history while also being truly relevant in today’s world. More than 1,000,000 women have joined the organization since it was founded 125-plus years ago. They became members to honor their heritage as well as make a difference in their communities across the country and the world. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR visit DAR.org and for more information about the El Dorado Chapter or if you wish to learn about your Revolutionary War ancestors, email Chambers at chambers.ann@gmail.com.

Kim and Valerie Jorgensen, 50 years

im and Valerie (Nichols) Jorgensen celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary April 8. Both Placerville natives were married at the First Baptist Church of Placerville on Bee Street in 1972. The wedding was attended by 150 family and friends with a reception in the church basement. The couple met in algebra class while attending El Dorado High School and dated for three years before becoming engaged. Following graduation, Kim attended American River College before joining the U.S. Air Force. After completing basic training and tech school, Kim returned home to marry Valerie. She had been working for two years with Beverly, Riley, Hamilton and Peterson, Attorneys at Law. As Kim had to report to Fairchild AFB in Spokane, Wash., within a week of the wedding, the couple drove up the coast for a brief honeymoon on their way to Spokane. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary they are planning a trip in August with their son Josh and his

family to Rome, Italy, plus a sevenday Western Mediterranean cruise with stops in Italy, France and Spain aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines. Small luncheons held during the anniversary week were hosted and attended by relatives and friends: the groom’s cousin, Karen (Jorgensen) and Milo Schauer, Auburn; the groom’s aunt and uncle Marilyn (Jorgensen) and Robert Castle, Placerville; the bride’s mother Delores Nichols and bride’s sister Debbie (Nichols) Howard, Placerville and several friends in Carmichael. The couple attributes the longevity of their marriage to knowing each other well before marriage, having dated for four years, and having married each other’s best friend. An another factor was being stationed in the military far from home, which led them to rely solely on each other. They have two sons. Oldest son, Erik Jorgensen and wife Elizabeth (Fedler), reside in Carmichael with daughters Hannah, 18, and Eva, 14. Younger son, Josh Jorgensen and wife Serena (Black), live in Eugene, Ore., with daughters Bella, 12 and Zuri, 9. Both sons were born at Fairchild AFB ■

Rotarians bringing shade to Christa McAuliffe Park Marlyn Pino-Jones Cameron Park Rotary Club Just in time to recognize Arbor Day, Cameron Park Rotarians Joe Ryan, Jim Buckley and Mike Grassle with the Cameron Park Community Service District have put together a “home run” community service project that will qualify for a $2,500 Rotary District 5190 matching grant. For the McAuliffe Park Arbor Day Tree Planting Project, 18 red bud maple trees will be planted along the soccer playing field Thursday afternoon, April 28. Currently, there is no shade by the field; the 18 fastgrowing maples will provide that shade. The trees will be installed with drip lines and ground cover bark. Rotary is enlisting the help of the Conservation Corp members from the camp in Georgetown to help dig the holes and Rotary will stake the trees and spread and rake the bark. It should be noted that in 1984 the Cameron Park Rotary Club helped build this park, which commemorates the death of Christa McAuliffe, the teacher/astronaut who perished in the Challenger disaster. In 2000 the club helped build permanent bathrooms and installed a large plaque on top of a stone support. Today, the park is used for picnics, the skateboard facility next door is used constantly by hundreds of local residents and the soccer field attracts huge numbers of players and families. Cameron Park Rotary has continuously been involved the community parks. The club recently installed signs at the fishing pond to encourage people to property dispose of trash. Long time Rotarian Ryan has been working with CSD Parks Superintendent Grassle. The CSD is planning $1.5 million worth of improvement projects in which Cameron Park Rotary also hopes to participate. Strategic planning for those projects has already begun and Cameron Park Rotary President Mike Dugan said meetings will occur soon to collaborate on projects.

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 1-866-539-4173 or visit this Internet Web site https://www. servicelinkauction.com using the file number assigned to this case 21002408-1 CA. 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 1-866-539-4173 or visit this Internet Web site https://www. servicelinkauction.com using the file number assigned to this case 21002408-1 CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (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.

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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE is hereby given that PLACER FORECLOSURE, INC., as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by: JODAR VINEYARDS & WINERY INC Recorded 07/30/2021 as Instrument No. 2021-0049422 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 1/20/2022 in Book , Page , as Instrument No. 20220003538 of said Official Records, WILL SELL on 05/18/2022 At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 at 10:00AM AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2400 GRAVEL ROAD, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $333,435.77 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221670. 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 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 www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221670 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.
