DAs challenge increased inmate early release Mountain Democrat staff In order to comply with the governor’s budget summary released in May 2020 and temporary emergency regulations that went into effect April 30, California’s prison officials have increased the amount of good-conduct credits some 76,000 inmates can earn toward their release. El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson, joined by 40 other elected DAs across the
Buffers to alleviate density of VHRs
state, sent a petition Thursday to Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Kathleen Allison, requesting the repeal of the temporary emergency regulations. “The new CDCR regulations could shorten the sentences for the most dangerous criminals as much as 50%,” Pierson said in a statement issued Thursday. As an example Pierson’s office cited the case of James Michael Watson who while already on parole for multiple prior felony
convictions went on a crime spree in November and December 2019, stealing firearms, pointing a loaded assault rifle at a victim and leading law enforcement officers on a highspeed pursuit where he drove into oncoming traffic. Watson pled to multiple felony charges and was sentenced to nearly 20 years in state prison. “ Under CDCR’s new regulation this dangerous criminal could be released after only serving 1⁄2 of his sentence,” Pierson said.
An administrative law petition is often the first step in seeking a formal court order declaring the emergency regulations unlawful. By invoking an emergency, the traditional regulatory scheme and transparent public comment period was bypassed. If the emergency regulations are nullified by a court, CDCR would be forced to pass the regulations in the traditional manner, requiring the State Office of Administrative Law to provide greater transparency and public input.

Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday directed staff to pursue 500-foot buffers around vacation home rentals at Lake Tahoe. The county has been creating and tweaking the VHR ordinance for about four years. In February 2021 supervisors directed county staff to compile data on the possibility of including buffers in the ordinance. While there is a cap on the number of VHR permits allowed in the Tahoe region, the buffer will force rentals to be more spread out and not clustered within neighborhoods. The buffers aim to prevent commercialization of neighborhoods and cut back on noise issues. There are about 850 VHR permits in the Tahoe region. With a 500-foot buffer in place each VHR would remove permit availability from an average of 10 surrounding homes or lots, leaving about 974 lots that could be VHRs. Supervisors in November 2020 placed a cap on the available number of VHR permits at 900. Staff also recommended a 1,000-foot buffer around large VHRs but the board told staff to stick with the 500-foot buffer for now. Existing VHRs will not be impacted by the buffers. As long as they pay their taxes, renewal and business license fees and don’t violate the ordinance, they can keep their permits. The board was also in favor of extending the buffers to VHRs throughout the entire county. With tourism in other areas of the county such as the West Slope growing in popularity, supervisors want to get ahead of any potential issues like the ones seen in Tahoe. Supervisors voted unanimously to add the buffers to the ordinance and asked staff to bring back to the board a first reading with those changes within 90 days.

Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park docent Doug Picard points out a gold flake to Owen Maher, 10, of Novato. Owen and his father, Dan, were the first competitors May 8 in the Gold Discovery Park Association’s Gold Panning Challenge fundraiser. Panners are timed as they sift sediment in search of gold flakes and those with the fastest time in the nine-week contest will be awarded a gold nugget July 3. Second and third-place prizes will also be awarded. Competitors must pull anywhere from four to eight flakes from the panning trough. Proceeds from the Gold Panning Challenge will aid educational programs at the park. The contest will run from noon to 3 p.m. each Saturday through July 3 behind Bekeart’s Gunshop. Also pictured are Owen’s mother, Deidre, left, and volunteer Dianne Thompson.

James (Jim) Russell Myers
Sept. 1, 1936 – April 27, 2021
James R. Myers was born to Elbert and Katherine Myers on Sept. 1, 1936 in Los Angeles, Calif. He was raised in the East Bay Area. Jim’s earliest memories were riding the bus with his older brother and his Mother to downtown Oakland to go shopping. As a teenager he became a lover of fast cars and hot rods. He was proud of his lowered Black ‘50 Mercury with a built V8 and pipes! His lifelong passion was music. He was a talented musician with a booming bass voice, he could play almost any instrument. He became a devoted fan of the San Francisco Giants when the team moved to the California in 1958. Jim and his family joined a small church in Walnut Creek, Calif., where he met a young lady, Janice Faye Hauth. Their families soon became dear friends and in August 1957 he married his Jannie. Nine months later they welcomed Jeffrey into their young family and then 15 months later identical twins, Stanley and Stephen. Laurel was born 21 months afterward and then on his 29th birthday his family was completed when Jennifer was born. In 1962 the family moved from Citrus Heights to Camino. Jim and Janice raised their family there and lived in the same home for 50 years. He took ownership of Al Myers Sheetrock Co. that was started in Placerville in 1958 by his father. The business is still in operation today as Myers & Sons Drywall Inc. Jim and his family began attending Pollock Pines Community Church in 1965. He was involved in the music ministry for more than 40 years. He served as worship leader, choir director, soloist and sang bass in a gospel quartet for most of those years. Jim loved people and was known for his 6 foot 4 inch large, gregarious personality, his warm smile, his humor and quick wit! He will be long remembered for being a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. He was wholeheartedly committed to his faith and to his family. His grandchildren adored him and he purposefully poured himself into their lives. A legacy that will live on. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, his wife of 62 years Janice Myers and his daughter Laurel Sue. Jim is survived by his brother Dale Myers of Santa Barbara; his sons Jeffrey (Kathy) Myers of Placerville, Stanley (Mindy) Myers of Silverton, Ore., Stephen (Kathy) Myers of Newburg, Ore., and Jennifer (Joe) Cox of Folsom, Calif. James had 12 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held June 26 at Pollock Pines Community Church at 1 p.m. This service will be a tribute to him and his music. His family and dear friends will celebrate his life and legacy.

The pilot turn restriction program will be in place through October and aims to keep drivers on U.S. Highway 50 and off of neighborhood streets.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The success of El Dorado County’s new turn restriction pilot program hinges on the cooperation of wayfinding apps. The pilot program will prohibit right-hand turns between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sundays and on holidays in two locations — from North Upper Truckee Road to westbound Highway 50 and from Sawmill Road to westbound Highway 50. The program aims to relieve traffic congestion within neighborhoods caused largely by growing tourism. “The big goal is for the wayfinding apps to not direct people to go through residential communities,” said Rafael Martinez, director of the El Dorado County Department of Transportation. The county sent letters to wayfinding companies, informing them of the changes. The California Highway Patrol is backing the county’s decision, which provides more incentive for the apps to change routes. “Knowing all the issues the locals are dealing with and how impacted they are, we support the counties’ plan,” said CHP’s South Lake Tahoe area commander Lt. Ken Nelson. South Lake Tahoe residents living in communities off Highway 50 have dealt with people littering and relieving themselves in yards and have had issues leaving and returning to their homes during busy times. If residents provide positive

feedback on the turn restriction program, Nelson will see the program as a success. In addition to the apps cooperating, Martinez said he also hopes to change habits of drivers accustomed to using side streets. “We want to re-train people that the routes they are using are not legal,” Martinez said. He said even a 20-30% reduction in traffic will be seen as a success for the county. After giving residents and visitors a grace period to become informed of the turn restrictions Nelson said he will direct his officers to begin handing out citations. Another barometer for success is how many citations they do give out. Nelson said if people aren’t getting the message or the risk of the citation isn’t enough to deter them, he doesn’t think the program will be successful. If implemented, the full program will include 21 turn restrictions. Martinez said he chose these two specific locations for the pilot because they are the most “outrageous.” The county

wanted to run the pilot in the summer because traffic is heavy but there is visibility and ability to make quick decisions, which isn’t the case during winter. However, if the summer pilot is successful, Martinez said they will extend the pilot into winter. After winter they will determine if its worth implementing the full program. For Nelson he said the safety of locals is one of the main reasons he’s supporting the program. Not only big emergencies like collisions or fires but also day-today activities like being able to get medications, go to the doctor or get groceries. “We’re making sure the people can live back there safely and happily,” Nelson said. And while, if successful, these restrictions will add more traffic to Highway 50, Nelson said the highway is designed to handle it and the side streets are not. Even if the program is not successful, Nelson wants to commend the county for making an effort to address the problem.

El Dorado Hills Fire Deputy Chief Mike Lilienthal, center, is honored as Firefighter of the Year during a presentation at a Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills meeting. Standing with Lilienthal are EDH Rotary Club President Aaron Palm, left, and EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson.
Deputy Chief Lilienthal is EDH Firefighter of the Year Noel Stack Managing editor Calling EDH Fire Deputy Chief Michael Lilienthal his “right-hand man,” EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson presented Lilienthal the Firefighter of the Year award at the May 5 Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills meeting. “I can’t tell you how much this man means to the organization,” Chief Johnson shared. “As a fire chief you have to have that right-hand man, that first person you talk to when things get really, really bad or when things are really, really good, that person you talk to for advice,” he continued, explaining that Lilienthal is his go-to. “I get the opportunity to be the visionary; Mike is the detail guy.” Noting that the fire department and the community gets “110%” whenever Lilienthal commits to a project, program or event, Johnson commended his deputy chief for his unwavering commitment, adding, “Truly a pillar of this community, he’s a rock for the fire department.” Lilienthal has been in the fire service since 1996, beginning his career in Stockton and moving to El Dorado Hills in 2012 after accepting the position of battalion chief/fire
marshal. He is currently the deputy chief of administration. Earlier this year it was Lilienthal’s coordination efforts that brought successful drivethru COVID-19 vaccination clinics to El Dorado Hills, with hundreds of people receiving their shots. He also worked in the county’s Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate public agencies’ response to the pandemic. With his wife and two daughters in attendance at the May 5 Rotary meeting, Lilienthal thanked his family and fire family for all their support. He called the award “humbling,” noting that many people have not been as lucky as he has during the pandemic. He commended all the first responders who have put others first during the health crisis, pushing aside their own worries and safety to help people. Lilienthal gave credit to everyone who helped him during this last year. “It wasn’t something I did. It was something we all did,” he said, giving kudos to public health officials, school leaders, community groups, law enforcement and others working behind the scenes. “I was honored to be put in the position just to be part of the solution,” Lilienthal said. “That felt good.”

GDPUD moves forward on loan for water meter upgrade Thomas Frey Staff writer Georgetown Divide Public Utility District Interim General Manager Jeff Nelson was authorized at Tuesday’s Board of Directors meeting to sign documents on a State Revolving Fund loan to replace automated water meters in the district. The loan will be up to $1,726,040 and will be used to replace about 3,800 aged mechanical water meters with digital water meters that will communicate via short range radio and will be read using a mobile antenna attached to a meter-reading truck. “It will make reading the meters
much faster,” Nelson said. “It will require less staff time and it will be 100% accurate.” He said the change needs to come because “the older water meters are not as accurate and they’ve lost accuracy over time so a lot of the water meters are likely underreporting water usage.” Water Resources Manager Adam Brown, who worked for more than two years to get the meter upgrade, said new meters could be installed as early as 2022. The loan will carry an interest rate of 1.2% per annum to be paid over 20 years. “I think this will be a real game changer for the district,” Nelson said.

The Balancing Act
Taxes are accelerating on middle class
M
y last column considered the subject of President Biden’s increase in the capital gain tax. The effect on working people would be mostly felt in the reduction of value in their retirements, their 401Ks, IRAs and pension plans as stock values tumble while LARRY WEITZMAN taxes increase on the profits from capital gains. Biden recently announced a new tax increase on everyone who passes on with appreciated property. And it hits nearly everyone, including the middle class where homeownership is now at 66%. Currently, when a person dies with appreciated assets, the assets receive what is called “a step up in basis.” This is used to value the estate of the deceased for estate tax purposes. Yes, there is an estate tax on estates of $11.6 million or more ($23.2 million for marrieds) — a flat 35%. This high exemption is to prevent the liquidation of small businesses and farms to pay estate taxes. Yet those with estates of higher values still pay a heavy estate tax. With Biden’s proposed the removal of the step up in basis of appreciated assets, small estates could be hit with huge capital gain taxes, especially in today’s heavily appreciated real estate market. Say your parents pass leaving a $1 million estate consisting of home they lived in for 20 years, which they bought for $100,000 and is now worth the bulk of the estate at $800,000. Under the current law there would be no estate taxes on the value of the estate as it is below the $11.6 million in value; with the elimination of the step up in basis there would now be a significant capital gain on the heirs of $700,000, resulting is a tax under the new Biden plan of about $200,000. More importantly, under the current law (which has been in effect for decades), the decedent’s property would receive a step up in basis to its new value and if sold six months later by the heirs there would be little, if any, capital gains tax as there would be little if any capital gain because the property would have received a new cost basis of $800,000. This tax benefit to small estates occurs hundreds of thousands of times every year. Exacerbating the situation would be if the home was recently financed at today’s super-low interest rates for 80% of its value of $640,000, meaning the equity (cash value) in the home ($140,000) would be less than the capital gains taxes due on the home’s sale. This situation ■

Letters to the Editor News on noose EDITOR: r. Zelinsky's letter complaining of the noose brings up some points. Let's examine them. He says that the noose, which is an integral part of all hangings, is vigilante or mob justice without due process. First, hanging was legal capital punishment in the United States from the founding of our nation to 1972. In his letter he also makes the good point, "Mob lynchings are what you get when there is no law and order." The lynchings to which Mr. Zelinsky refers were in 1848. There was no sheriff in this county until 1850 when Sheriff Rogers became our first sheriff. So you see, Mr. Zelinsky, there was no law and order at the time of the famous hangings here in Hangtown. So what was the alternative in 1848 Mr. Zelinsky? Let people kill whoever they want and just bury the bodies in the morning? The only problem the noose has is running into the perpetually offended and those with an incomplete grasp of history. Also in his letter he says to be proud of our state. You mean that state that was taken from Mexico by force of arms and bloodshed?

You see, once you start pulling that thread of looking for things to be offended by, before you know it your whole shirt will unravel. GEORGE ALGER Placerville
Every vote should count EDITOR: The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bill would make every person’s vote equal throughout the U.S. It would ensure that every vote, in every state, will matter in every presidential election. ERIC TEMPLE Placerville
Mental Health Month EDITOR: May is Mental Health Month. By urging my public officials to prioritize suicide prevention, mental health and crisis care, I am hoping to influence collective change to support #MentalHealth4All. Right now, individuals in crisis are able to call 1-800273-8255 to reach the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress and those who care for them. Soon, it will be much easier to remember how to reach the Lifeline as the number will be changing to “988” nationwide by July 2022. Knowing this, it is critically important that states pass legislation now to reliably fund 988 and their state’s crisis response system, just as we fund 911 and emergency services — through small fees on our phone bills. Reliable funding will help to ensure all 988 callers can reach a counselor in their own state who is familiar with and can connect them with local resources. Culturally competent support and local connections can better help all callers through their crisis and in their recovery. My family and I have been personally impacted by the death of my youngest brother Raymond, who died by suicide at the young age of 24. Join me this month in urging your public officials to fund 988. We all play a role in changing the culture around mental health. Together, we can ensure #MentalHealth4All. MARGIE GARCIA Placerville

and Venezuelan voters in Florida was probably predictable. As refugees from socialism and communism, these voters loath to support any candidate endorsing such destructive policies. In addition, the damage caused by the COVID lockdowns to small business owners — as many Cuban-Americans are — only intensified their support for an “open the country back up" message as conveyed by Trump and Florida Gov. Ron De Santis. The immigration issue also worked for Trump and against the Democrats among many Latinos. Polls currently show Latinos split down the middle on Biden's chaotic and cruel open border policies. Latinos who are second and thirdgeneration are no more likely to support a massive influx of illegal immigrants into America than any other demographic. They correctly see these migrants as competing for blue-collar and unskilled jobs, driving down wages and imposing costly burdens on already overcrowded schools, hospitals and other infrastructure. Legal immigrants — such as myself — are especially incensed at the thought of individuals breaking into this country and being showered with taxpayer largesse while we waited for years to obtain a Visa and had to work to sustain ourselves. Additionally, the Democrat Party’s off-the-rails extremism on cultural issues, from abortion at the moment of birth (or infanticide after birth) to insane transgender
nonsense only repels Latino voters who are overwhelmingly Catholic or evangelical Christian. The growing move of Latinos into culturally and politically conservative evangelical and fundamentalist churches does not bode well for the party. Finally, the despicable campaign of the Democrat Party’s house militias in BLM and Antifa in burning down American cities in the summer 2020 did not resonate well with many Latino voters who belong to the military, police, Border Patrol or other law enforcement agencies. Anyone who watches the news regularly recognizes the large number of Border Patrol agents who are Hispanic. They do not see BidenHarris as an ally as those two work to abolish our border and make Border Patrol's work almost impossible. Obviously, we cannot know precisely the political philosophy of the latest hordes of migrants crashing the border. If they are indeed fleeing poverty and/or danger and think Biden’s America will provide relief, they will soon be sadly mistaken. Biden’s left-wing economic agenda is almost guaranteed to result in a hyper-inflationary depression within a few years. Widespread poverty will naturally result. And, with more poverty and despair, crime will rise exponentially. BLM and Antifa will hardly be satisfied either as Biden’s efforts to appease the radical left will only result in more unreasonable demands until the nation’s cities

out any significant benefit of an estate bequest or passing on money to your children and grandchildren. Here is another rub on the Biden plan. Large estates rarely sell property on death. Properties are held in trusts and the family homes and property are passed on to heirs. This proposed elimination of the current step up in basis would have little effect on the wealthy heirs (they don’t feel the need to liquidate property to raise cash as they already have plenty) but
would impact the working class when these heirs and families liquidate the property of a decedent. This is a new “tax” would hit mainly those people earning less than $200,000 a year ($400K if married, filing jointly). Yes, Biden’s tax will hit a few “rich,” but it will also have a huge impact on at least twothirds of the country’s regular folk. And those folks are the ones who can least afford it.

Ray named D’back head coach Thomas Frey Staff writer Union Mine High School has tabbed Matt Ray as its next head football coach. The Diamondbacks are coming off a spring football season where they went 2-2 with Taylor Duncan at the helm. Ray is Union Mine’s athletic director and has a past chock-full of football history. As a player he broke several Northern California records slinging the ball as a quarterback at Quincy High School in Quincy where his dad and grandfather also played. He played collegiately at Butte College, Troy State and University of Nevada, Las Vegas, before embarking on a coaching odyssey that saw him win big at East Nicolaus High School before he started the football program from scratch at Antelope High School in 2008. He totaled more than 100 wins as coach with a record of 5-0 against Ponderosa. “After a year of serving as athletic director, building relationships with our community and motivating students in the classroom, we’re very excited that Matt Ray is going to be the next football coach at Union Mine,” said Union Mine Principal Paul Neville. “He is a proven winner, a man of character and I know he will be an excellent role model for our students, staff and community.” Ray is the Diamondbacks fourth coach in as many years following Chic Bist (2018), Jake Bist (2019) and Taylor Duncan (2020). Union Mine is set to return several starters, including quarterback Calvin Owens, linemen Jaxon King, Alijah Smith and John Murphy, receivers Joe Repass, Mason Matlack and Nicholas Conant and defenders Evan Beck and Colton Springer.

The Georgetown Divide Public Utility District has added Andy Fisher and Marilyn Boehnke to its finance committee. The committee was reestablished to participate in the 2021-22 budget review process and is composed of a combination of members of the public and district directors. While Fisher and Boehnke don’t have backgrounds in water, they have worked in their respective professions for more than a decade. Boehnke is an associate governmental program analyst for the state of California where she works on budgets, grants and contracts. “I prepared projections on budgets for the Agricultural Council as well as doing the actual budget work like accounts payable, accounts receivable and what I do now relates more to
actually preparing grants and contracts,” Boehnke said. “I have a good understanding of government codes and how those work.” Fisher works for the Placer County Department of Public Works as a park administrator where he oversees a $7 million-a-year operation. He said that while he hasn’t worked in water, his knowledge is likely to transfer over from one government entity to another. The primary role of the finance committee is to assist GDPUD’s Board of Directors in the review of financial information and make recommendations to the board related to district finances and budgeting. The committee meets quarterly and more often if needed or as requested. Fisher and Boehnke join Steve Miller and Don Waltz as public members of the committee and GDPUD directors Mitch MacDonald and Mike Thornbrough.

offers a unique look at Lake Tahoe

hile Lake Tahoe is undoubtedly beautiful from the shore or mountains, nothing beats looking at the water right under your feet. Clearly Tahoe is back and bigger than ever to offer just that kind of unique experience. The company offers guided tours along Tahoe’s shorelines in clear kayaks so guests can see not only the beauty of the shore but also the unique rock formations and nature under the water. “It’s an incredible way to experience the crystal clear waters and the serenity of the lake without getting wet,” said Clearly Tahoe Owner Kelsey Weist. Every year, the tour routes are changed based on water levels, but this year, Clearly Tahoe plans to offer more routes than ever before. In addition to the check-in location at the Tahoe Keys, it has now expanded to Round Hill Pines. Clearly Tahoe has rented a kiosk in the shopping center’s parking lot and will soon be decorated with plants and have picnic tables and games. Guests can check in at the kiosk then head to the beach where everything will be waiting for them. This May, the business will also be opening a location in Incline Village, allowing an expansion of tour options to the northeast side of the lake. Finally, if those locations don’t work for you, Clearly Tahoe offers private tours and will bring the kayaks to you. “The tours include everything the guest is going to need on the water,” said Weist, including a cooler, snacks, sunscreen, blankets for the spring and fall, Coast
This summer Clearly Tahoe, photo above, will be expanding the tour route options. The eco tours go through the Truckee Marshland as pictured in right photo. Guard approved life-vests and lifeguard certified tour guides. Not only does Clearly Tahoe offer the daytime shoreline tours, it also offers LED stargazing tours at night and eco tours. The eco tours, which Weist said are the guides’ favorites, take guests along the Truckee Marshland where they can see local plants and wildlife. Weist said these tours are great for everyone aged 5 years old and up and a lot of fun for locals and tourists alike. “It’s an experience the whole family can do together,” Weist said. If all of that isn’t enough, this summer, Clearly Tahoe will be adding clear paddleboards to its fleet, giving people another new way to experience the lake. Tours can be booked online at clearlytahoe.com.

Deanna A long-time resident of El Dorado County, Santana has devoted her professional and personal life to serving others and her community. She joined the staff at Child Advocates in 2019 as the program director. She has spent the last few years building relationships with staff, board members, volunteers and community partners while building capacity to serve more youth in the community. Before joining Child Advocates, she worked for seven years in the Donate Life Community, managing hundreds of volunteers and motivating millions of Californians to join the organ and tissue donor registry. Santana holds a bachelor’s degree in human and family development from Arizona State University and a master’s degree in strategic communications from Washington State University. “I am honored to serve our community and work with the staff and volunteers (Court Appointed Special Advocates and family coaches) to advocate and speak up for abused and neglected children. I am also looking forward to building other community programs to break

the cycle of abuse and neglect in our community,” Santana said. The previous director, Kathryn Mathews, left to pursue a position with California CASA in March. The board immediately appointed Santana as the interim executive director and began an extensive search for the right leader for this vital community nonprofit. “We are thrilled to Santana announce Deanna as our new permanent executive director. We know she will not only maintain but will expand our programs and successes. Every time we meet with her, we are convinced we made the right choice,” said Claudia Kane, hiring committee. Without missing a beat, Santana transitioned into the role of executive director and looks forward to continuing the life-changing legacy of Child Advocates of El Dorado County.
About CASA of El Dorado County

horoscope by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). Try not to get too caught up in how important a job is. Commit to the work, whatever it may be, as though the harmony of the universe depends on it. It just might. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The right mindset helps you cruise unimpeded by the worries or doubts of underconfidence and overthinking. It takes time and experimentation, but it’s well worth it to learn how to conjure that mindset on command. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Lately, your feelings are often suspended as you wait to see what goes well and what blows up spectacularly. Every outcome is a sign that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing at this stage: testing it all out. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As you find yourself actually enjoying the same process that others meet with dread, you prove a point about the power of interpretation. Cultivate this and you have the world in the palm of your hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is no reasoning with what was born outside of reason’s realm. Much falls into the category, including every animal and infant, and every fear or impulse that comes from the animal and infantile parts of the brain. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While the newbies may be wise to aim for incremental, reachable goals, the pros, who long ago separated their self-worth from the task at hand, will set the bar impossibly high and expect to fail gloriously and often.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The untapped resources around you are so plentiful there’s no time to tap them all. Where to start? You can afford to be a little selfish about it right now. Your preferences and interests are as worthy of serving as anyone’s. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You keep finding new ways to be useful. You’ll figure out how you can create convenience, relieve pain and solve the problem. Your efforts are only successful when they give you ease, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though the only way to really know if something will work for you is to try it, there are many things that are not worth the risk. Today, your educated guess will steer you very accurately. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t need all good examples around you as the inspiration for living right. In fact, it is the bad examples that can be the most motivating of all. You’ll be shown an array of models, both aspirational and cautionary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Should you dive in or dip a toe in? Much depends on the number of people in the pool. Your strategy will be determined by what others are doing and how many are doing it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whether you sit in the sun or the shade is a personal choice, though it’s dictated by things beyond your control. Metaphorically, your skin is sensitive and protection is required to avoid getting burned.

Barton Foundation to award grants (CASA): Helping recruit and train advocates for at-risk youth • El Dorado County Office of Education: For learning programs supporting children in need • Tahoe Senior Plaza: Increasing access to health resources for lowincome seniors • Live Violence Free: To provide bilingual mental health services for victims of abuse • Mountain High Recovery Center: For telehealth services treating substance use disorders • SOS Outreach: Offering youth mentorship programs for emotional skill development • South Tahoe Drug Free Coalition: For drug abuse awareness and prevention education • Suicide Prevention Network: Supporting suicide awareness and prevention programs • Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless: Increasing safety resources for at-risk populations • Tahoe Magic: To provide food, shelter and relief for local families impacted by the coronavirus “Throughout the pandemic, isolation and lack of social interaction, especially among the adolescent and senior populations, have contributed to depression as well as other mental health issues,” said Chris Kiser, executive director of the Barton Foundation. “Providing support to our community is critical. Improving the health of our community
Barton Health SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Guided by the results of the Community Health Needs Assessment, Barton Health partners with local nonprofit organizations to support programs and initiatives that are aimed at addressing unmet health needs. Mental health, substance use and access to care rank highest among a long list of concerns in the Lake Tahoe region. The Barton Foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations that provide support for members of the community who face these issues. Once again this year, $100,000 will be awarded through the Barton Foundation Community Health Grant. The application window is open and applications will be accepted through May 28. Local organizations including nonprofits, schools and social service groups are encouraged to apply. In 2020, the Community Health Grant program supported 13 local nonprofit organizations: • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra: For youth mentorship and support programs • Bread & Broth: To address food insecurities faced by children and adults • Boys and Girls Club: For health and safety upgrades in group environments • Child Advocates of El Dorado
has always been the mission of the Barton Foundation — with the support of our donors, we are grateful to be able to fund programs that address these needs head-on.” To address the evolving health needs during the pandemic, the Community Health Grant funding was doubled in 2020 to $100,000. All grant applications are reviewed by the Community Health Advisory Committee, a group of community health leaders, clinicians and private and nonprofit stakeholders. They act as an advisory committee to Barton Health’s Board of Directors regarding pertinent community health issues facing the community, including the prioritization of the local Community Health Needs Assessment. Funding priority will be given to those organizations addressing the region’s top three needs, as determined in the Community Health Needs Assessment: access to health care, substance use, and mental health. Qualifying organizations may receive funding up to $10,000 each. Local nonprofit organizations that share Barton Health’s and Barton Foundation’s commitment to improving community health and well-being are encouraged to apply online at bartonhealth. org/foundation. Applications are accepted through May 28.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PARTICIPATION: For Federalaid projects, DBE requirements of Title 49 Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 26) apply. Bidders are advised that, as required by Federal law, the County of El Dorado has implemented Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). Comply with Section 2-1.12 and Section 5-1.13. In accordance with 49 CFR 26, Bidder will take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority firms, women’s business enterprises and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Contract goal is 8%. P R E VA I L I N G WAGE REQUIREMENTS: In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1770 et seq., including but not limited to Sections 1773, 1773.1, 1773.2, 1773.6, and
1773.7, the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done has been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 703-4708 or by referring to the website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/ OPRL/PWD. The rates at the time of the bid advertisement date of a project will remain in effect for the life of the project in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, as modified and effective January 27, 1997. Copies of the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done are also on file at the Department of Transportation’s principal office, and are available upon request, and in case of projects involving Federal funds, Federal wage requirements as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor have been included in the Contract Documents. 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). If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department of Transportation will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by Contractor and subcontractors, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. AWARD OF CONTRACT: As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit bonds and 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. Securities eligible for deposit hereunder are be limited to those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit.

Tahoe Summer Camps teach kids about the great outdoors News release
T
he Tahoe Institute for Natural Science announces it will resume its popular Summer Camp program in 2021. Last year traditional camps were canceled out of concerns over the transmission of COVID-19, instead offering single-pod programs. For the 2021 season TINS is thrilled to return to larger camps to serve both more families and a more inclusive segment
of the community. “Science has shown again and again the health and developmental benefits of spending time immersed in nature,” said TINS co-founder and Executive Director Will Richardson “and last year many kids were deprived of that. They were also deprived of socializing with other kids their age. These camps not only help kids reconnect with nature but also each other and are a great way to make friends in a fun setting.”
The four- and five-day programs are offered throughout the Tahoe region for kids aged 6-12. This year TINS is adding a three-day mini Bug Camp in Truckee. There are also threeday backpacking camps offered in partnership with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association for kids aged 12-16. Each day is filled with character and team building experiences that teach both science and wilderness skills. For more information on all of the summer camp programs visit tinsweb.
org/nature-camps TINS is also honored to offer a camp scholarship fund, started in 2012 with the help of a member. The organization has used that fund to bring these amazing experiences to more of our community, including families that may not have the same access to Tahoe’s natural wonder. For more information on camps contact TINS Education Manager Kendal Scott at kendal@tinsweb.org or (775) 298-0064.
