‘shocking’ and ‘lowest possible’ sentence Thomas Frey Staff writer More than two years since El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputy Brian Ishmael was murdered, Juan Carlos Vazquez-Orozco and Christopher Ross received their sentences Friday. Vazquez-Orozco — the man who pulled the trigger — was ordered to serve 15 years to life plus an additional five years. Ross was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months for his role after he called 911 to falsely report a theft of marijuana on his Sand Ridge Road property in south county. Ross had entered into an agreement allowing other people to grow marijuana on his property in exchange for money and a used Jeep. Vazquez-Orozco was tending to that marijuana grow.

Thomas Frey Staff writer During court proceedings Monday in Placerville Lindsay Piper pleaded no contest to second degree murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson Roman Lopez, according to the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. Roman was reported missing in January 2020, then found deceased in the Coloma Street rental house his father Jordan Piper, stepmother Lindsay and seven other children were staying in. Lindsay is scheduled to be sentenced July 8. Her not guilty pleas to child abuse and torture charges remain. The Pipers have been in custody facing murder charges since February 2021 as suspects in the January 2020 death of Lopez, who was found dead in the basement of the family’s Placerville home. For more than a year no information was released by police as they conducted their investigation. That all changed Feb. 4, 2021, when Placerville Police Chief Joseph Wren announced Jordan and Lindsay were arrested in Calaveras County on suspicion of child abuse and torture. Wren said the case involved the analysis n

has been certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. C.J. Freeland, Housing Community and Economic Development department analyst, shared the news May 10 at an El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission joint affordable housing workshop to kick off the afternoon discussion. The discussion was geared toward creating policy and brainstorming ideas that would help accelerate affordable housing for low- and moderateincome earning households, as well as workforce and senior housing. County leaders considered utilizing

tiny homes as an affordable housing option, an inclusionary zoning policy and implementing affordable housing in new or existing mobile home parks. During the meeting Board Chair and District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin asked about incentives for locals to stay in the county. “There’s houses being built and folks are getting out of the big cities, coming here and out-pricing our kids who want to stay in our communities,” Parlin said. District 4 Planning Commissioner Andy Nevis shared similar concerns for people who grew up in the county having trouble affording houses here. “One of the things that

makes that (housing) happen is if the folks who are currently living in these homes are able to move up and purchase a larger home,” Nevis said. District 3 Planning Commissioner John Clerici commentated that because of the county’s more elderly demographic, residents are more likely to downsize their home, a perspective no one contested. “When we sell a home to someone who lives in the county, that then creates more housing opportunity as opposed to selling someone outside of the county,” Nevis added. In response Freeland said while it would be discriminatory to block outside homebuyers, there is a tradeoff.

because it is out there, it is viable and working in different counties,” District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel said. Berkeley-based real estate business BAE Urban Economics, which helped county staff prepare a housing study for the workshop, came up with the idea of including an inclusionary zoning policy and mandating developers to provide affordable units, which they determined could generate 581 singlefamily affordable units by 2041. “If we are serious about building affordable housing, we’re going to have to get serious about pre-investments to incentivize that,” District n

“In a specific program, if you offer an incentive, there is an exchange,” Freeland said. “(For example) if we were to give someone a deferral on, let’s say a down payment, either deed or workforce restriction, you can do that if you have enough skin in the game.” Different revenue streams would need to be considered if the county goes that route. Placer County was referenced often in the conversation for its workforce housing. Placer and Nevada counties were also referenced for the use of tiny homes, which county leaders seemed to be on board with. “(Tiny homes) are an important conversation to have regarding our Housing Element,

ATM theft goes sideways at Town Center Mountain Democrat staff A would-be thief (or possibly thieves) gave a whole new meaning to drivethru banking when the suspect(s) tried to steal an entire Chase Bank ATM at a standalone kiosk in El Dorado Hills Town Center. Sheriff ’s officials reported that at 4:47 a.m. Friday, May 13, a resident called authorities after witnessing the ATM being ripped from its framework while connected to a pickup. “The witness provided a suspect vehicle description as the vehicle left the area,” sheriff ’s officials note in a Facebook post. “EDSO patrol arrived on scene at 4:48 a.m. and could not locate the suspect vehicle in the immediate area. The ATM … was left behind in the parking lot.”‘ No money was taken from the ATM. The vehicle used in the botched theft was found shortly after the incident, dumped on nearby Valley View Parkway. Officials confirmed the pickup involved was stolen. As of press time, investigators had no suspects known or in custody. The investigation is ongoing.

TOOTH ENAMEL EROSION Did you know that tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the body? Enamel is the thin, outer coating on your teeth, which helps protect them from daily use, bacteria, and chemicals. However, as tough as enamel is, it can still erode, chip, and crack. Enamel is not made from living cells, so it cannot regenerate itself once it’s damaged. Enamel erosion occurs when a person consumes too many acidic foods and drinks or eats starchy foods that convert to acids after consumption. The best ways to protect enamel is to limit acidic drinks, foods, and starches; rinse your mouth with plain water after eating or drinking acidic or starchy foods; and receive regular cleanings from a

dental professional. Has tooth enamel erosion taken a toll on your teeth, causing them to be yellowed and overly sensitive? If you’re not happy with your smile, we hope you won’t be shy about examining the many options now available for turning it into one you’ll be proud to show. Our interest in you extends beyond just fixing your teeth—we want you to feel totally unselfconscious about your mouth so that you will have every reason to break into a smile. Call us for an appointment to discuss your particular dental needs. P.S. Saliva helps protect enamel by coating teeth in a healthy layer of calcium and minerals.

Conditions right to start aquatic weeds control in Tahoe Keys News release SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Environmental factors are favorable for the scheduled start of a control methods test in the Tahoe Keys lagoons, project leaders confirmed last week. Boating, fishing and other water activity restrictions in the test areas began May 9 with herbicide application beginning May 23. The test will allow scientists to gather new data points and information this spring and summer in the long-waged battle against aquatic invasive weeds in Lake Tahoe. The results will help determine long-term solutions for the lagoons and Lake Tahoe. Turbidity curtains to isolate the test areas in the Lake Tallac control area were installed early May as were curtains in West Lagoon. Environmental factors that need to be met for the start of the test include sufficient lake level, water temperatures for plant growth and inflow into the lagoons from the lake. Current projections based on existing snowpack, historical runoff records and the weather outlook suggest water should be flowing into the lagoons through May 2022. Current snowpack data indicates a high probability of “inflow” into the Tahoe Keys from Lake Tahoe at the beginning of the May 23 test window. The test areas will be clearly defined in the waterways with prominent signage and turbidity curtains. The control methods test, which was unanimously passed by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Board, will use stand-alone and combined use of various control method approaches including targeted herbicides and UV-C light to reduce and “knock down” the abundant growth of invasive and nuisance aquatic weeds in the Tahoe Keys west lagoon and Lake Tallac areas.

The fight to control non-native pondweed and Eurasian milfoil threatening the marsh ecosystem at Tahoe Keys continues. The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association Board of Director’s emergency rule restricting boat and water activities in the treatment areas will be in effect through as late as mid-July 2022. These restrictions include no outside visitor access nor water activities of any kind including swimmers, pets, boats, sailboats, personal watercraft or stand-up paddleboards. The herbicide concentrations to treat the weeds will be at levels safe to humans, pets and fish and wildlife, but avoidance is necessary to protect the validity of the test. To help homeowners in the treatment areas during the test

period the TKPOA board made several accommodations. Boats and other watercraft already docked in the treatment areas prior to May 9 may remain moored but can’t operate during the test period. Water access for homeowner kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and similar watercraft will be allowed at the TKPOA ramps in non-restricted areas on Christie Drive, Wedeln Court, Traverse Court and Slalom Court. TKPOA also waived regulations against street and driveway parking for boat and trailer storage during the test n

Kiley’s Corner

Failed policies fuel California crime wave

arlier this year a UC Berkeley poll found that 78% of voters believe crime has risen statewide and 65% say it has gone up in their local community. In the Sacramento region, we have felt this increase as much as anywhere. Our community has been KEVIN KILEY shaken by two horrific mass killings in the past few months. Sacramento politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom were quick to respond to these tragedies with partisan talking points before the facts were known. On Feb. 28, after a man murdered his three daughters at a local church, Gov. Newsom released a statement calling it “another senseless act of gun violence in America.” Then on April 3 after a gang shooting left six people dead just a block from the State Capitol, Newsom held the “scourge of gun violence” responsible. Both incidents were immediately used to advocate for more gun-control measures in a state that is already home to the strictest gun laws in the country. Once more details came to light, however, the facts painted a different picture: failed public safety policies were a direct cause of both tragic events. The church shooter was in the country illegally and was arrested just the week before for assaulting a peace officer. Thanks to California’s nonsensical Sanctuary State law that prohibits communication between local law enforcement and immigration authorities, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was never told of his release, even though the agency had expressly asked to be notified. One of the gang members involved in the April 3 shooting was a career criminal who only served four years of a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault charges. Under California’s lax sentencing laws, he was released early despite the warnings of Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert that he was likely to offend again. It is time to restore accountability to our criminal justice system and reverse course on years of failed policies. Democrats and Republicans in the State Legislature have proposed solutions to do just that. I authored bills to repeal the Sanctuary State and Prop. 47. Some of my colleagues across the aisle proposed legislation to strengthen penalties on fentanyl dealers and make possession of a stolen firearm a felony. These common sense changes were rejected by the Assembly “Public Safety” Committee. Until we get serious about the real causes of rising crime in California, our communities will continue to suffer the consequences.

She was “pro-life,” whereas I was “pro-quality of life.” Years ago I worked as a group supervisor in the Butte County Juvenile Hall. I saw the effects of poor parenting on developing youths. I saw the consequences of child abuse and child neglect. Many of our residents were runaways because it wasn’t safe for them at home. They were truant from school because they were on the run from parents who hurt them or neglected their basic needs. A few were spoiled by parents who lacked healthy boundaries, so the children, in turn, could not function within acceptable social norms. These children were not in juvenile hall to be punished. Most were there to be protected from the trauma inflicted them by unfit parents. Many became wards of the court and went to group homes. Later the law changed, so runaways and truants were no longer housed in juvenile hall. Unfortunately, adoption has not been an adequate solution. In a typical year, less than half the foster children eligible for adoption find permanent homes. Per the Adoption Network, “Many will languish for years in foster homes or institutions.” A significant number of them are never adopted. Some “pro-lifers” talk about how precious life is without considering the quality of life that awaits a fetus beyond the womb. I am adamant in my defense of the rights of the child. I believe that every child deserves to be born to loving, nurturing parents — caregivers able to meet the child’s basic needs, build the child’s self-esteem, support the child’s education, help him or her to develop a moral code and a sense of social responsibility. Isn’t that what every responsible parent wants for his or her child? If someone says, “I am not able to do that at this time,” we should listen. A prospective mother knows better than you or I what she is capable of. No one has the right to impose child-rearing on a parent who is unprepared for it. No child should grow up feeling unwanted or be forced to endure the

hardships of inadequate or abusive parenting. If you care about children, protect their quality of life. DONNA SKELTON Cameron Park

If wishes were horses, then the sheriff will ride EDITOR: eople ask me why I write about the Sheriff of Nottingham. I did not start until after attending a wedding reception years ago. A gentleman introduced himself, saying he was a deputy in the Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Office. He said he heard I lived in Diamond Springs and had a question for me: “What... does the sheriff of El Dorado County have on the Board of Supervisors? He gets everything he wants from them and we cannot get anything in our county.” I really had no answer for him. In the days since, I have been watching everything in press releases or his list of wants on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda. What I have read, in my opinion, has been unnecessary spending on items we really did not need. The New Public Safety Facility, which I named the “Crystal Citadel,” cost easily around $28,000,000 after construction, land purchase, etc. Here is a spicy little tidbit; the county paid the other two bid contractors $40,000 each essentially to be able to use some of their ideas in construction — a nice payday just for submitting a bid and showing up. The sheriff wanted a twin-engine, 24-foot-long speed boat, black no markings to cruise 54 square miles of lake and 23 miles of the South Fork of the American River for $178,000 with a trailer from Rogue River Boats in Oregon. I know this request was downscaled to $118,000 after I put this information out to the public. This wasted money could have been used to fix our failing roads that everyone risks their life and families on when driving. I had a very close friend of 52 years who I would trust with my life, if necessary. He retired from our Sheriff ’s Office after running for sheriff a few years

... the greatest charitable act is to help another individual take control of their own life. Teaching personal responsibility is the most valuable gift that one can provide another. provide another. Our American compassion, our moral compass, has gone awry. A child growing up in America today finds himself or herself in a nation where debt is larger than the entire economy and still growing. But just as inflation shows that the costs of fiscal irresponsibility cannot be hidden, so the costs of teaching our youth that personal responsibility is irrelevant cannot be hidden. It manifests in the destructive behavior we see now. The Wall Street Journal reported that one student loan adviser told them, “I’m seeing them say, ‘I’m going to take out more loans now and go buy GameStop stock with it because it’s going to get forgiven anyway.’” A new Gallup survey reports, “32% of currently enrolled students pursuing a bachelor’s degree report they have considered withdrawing from their program for a semester or more in the past six months.” Thirty-six percent attribute this to financial reasons. But 76% attribute to

“emotional stress.” Of course, the universities love this. What business wouldn’t think the government subsidizing purchase of its product is a great idea? Per the American Enterprise Institute, from January 2000 to December 2021 college tuition costs increased 175% and college textbook costs increased 150%. Over the same period, the consumer price index for all items increased 65.5%; prices of cars, household furnishings and clothing remained relatively unchanged; and cellphone services were down 40%, computer software down 71% and TV sets down 97%. Per Education Data Initiative, highest default rate — 26.33% — is among arts and humanities majors attending nonselective schools. Can anyone really think such loans make sense? We need to help our youth who want education to get it. But it must be done prudently.

ago and told me he intended running for sheriff again. When I ran for supervisor, he helped me with my campaign. I asked him why he wanted to run for sheriff? He told me he couldn’t stand to watch the legacy of the Sheriff of Nottingham continue to grow and hurt the county he loved and the people in it. He told me stories that are hearsay now because he is deceased. I told him what I had been asked by the deputy from Sacramento. His response was that if the walls of the Sheriff ’s Office and the cells in the jail could talk, what stories they could tell us. BRIAN DeBERRY Placerville

Without reservation, she has shown her support in innumerable ways for community projects and programs all while being a steady, successful leader.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Does it all seem to be happening all at once? Maybe so, and it’s all the more reason to narrow your focus to one manageable section of the scene. You got this! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While nothing in life is free, sometimes (in the moments before you realize what currency you’re paying in) life feels free, which can be its own kind of youthful thrill. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may have a playful approach to life, but your good taste is indisputable. You know what you like and you keep learning about it. Study can be a kind of worship. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As luck would have it, some days you benefit from holding out an expectation, and other times, not. Today is a “not” day — better to let go of expectancy and let life surprise and delight you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The choices you make today reflect your original and creative mind. Simple things like the color you wear or the words you use will attract favorable attention. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do you believe in the supportive magic of invisible forces? The forces are indifferent to your belief and will render aid as needed, as you may notice with today’s unexplainable phenomenon. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel successful as you live by your values. You may notice that, in

the natural course of your evolving interests, your values have changed. Something that used to be fulfilling isn’t — an invitation to inquiry and selfknowledge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The winner of today’s game won’t get a trophy but will instead receive a feeling — a swelling of joy through the heart and soul. The score that matters is kindness given and love shared. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Here or there? This one or that? No small choice will drastically alter the outcome, so you can decide with a light heart and know all roads converge in a smile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you are with someone you love, you have this ability to make them feel that whatever the two of you are doing together, it is better than anything the rest of the world could possibly be doing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re aware of the ledger of your life. You know who you owe and why. You know who owes you. Stay alert to con artists who will use a sense of guilt and obligation to make you feel indebted when, in fact, you are not. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may feel as though you are toning down something about yourself to avoid challenging, upsetting or offending people around you. When you’re around the right people, you won’t have to do this.

3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said. “As we move forward, I would be open to figuring what kind of deferral program we can offer developers on entire developments if it were to include inclusionary zoning.” Parlin brought the idea of implementing affordable housing units in mobile home parks as another consideration. Currently, the county requires issuing a conditional use permit to build a new mobile home park. “I think this is something we should consider given the requests for senior housing and the mobile parks are currently very popular among seniors,” Parlin said. Thomas provided another idea to designate the Missouri Flat corridor as a “Green Zone” to be awarded grants from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments to fund housing projects. “It doesn’t tie a project or property to anything. It’s a funding opportunity,” Thomas said. “If a property owner were to have a housing project, they could apply for grant funding that would pay for infrastructure upgrades. If the developer could get that grant funding, it might make the housing project full.” To be nominated as a SACOG Green Zone, Missouri Flat will need to promote infill, reduce regulatory and economic barriers to infill and support new transportation options, according to the SACOG website. Green Zones need to be places where significant new growth is planned so efforts to accelerate infill, travel choice and vehicle electrification all have potential to be complementary strategies. To supplement the workshop BAE Urban Economics staff Matt Kowta and Bilal Ali prepared a housing study

on the county. Households on the West Slope total 57,542 units and 4,273 in the Tahoe Basin, both increasing by 8% in an 11-year timespan from 2010 to 2021. The median age countywide ranges from 37-47. BAE determined the median household income was calculated at $92,754 on the West Slope and $61,215 in the Tahoe Basin. It was determined that 32% of households on the West Slope and 40% in the Tahoe Basin were “costburdened.” Households that spent more than 30% of their income on housing are determined to be cost-burdened and households spending more than 50% are considered “severely costburdened.” Throughout unincorporated El Dorado County, there are more than 20,000 households that pay 30% of their income on housing costs. In 2021 the median sale price for homes was $630,000 on the West Slope and $680,000 in the Tahoe Basin. BAE did another study in 2019 for the county that predicted 10,284 housing units will be added countywide by 2041. After the workshop the Board of Supervisors directed staff to perform a list of duties, including reexamining surplus parcels for possible affordable housing options and tiny homes and researching inclusionary zoning policy with a fee deferral program. Staff is also to look into new residential zoning overlays for mixed-use on commercial lands to encourage affordable housing, zoning options for affordable housing in new or existing mobile home parks, designation of the Missouri Flat corridor as a possible Green Zone and a housing trust fund.

Sentence

Continued from A1

Attorney’s Office released a statement describing Lueras’ decision as “shocking.” “It no longer matters whether you use a gun or how many people you harm or how many prior violent felonies you have committed,” states District Attorney Vern Pierson, who cites the discretion provided by Senate Bill 620, approved by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2017. “The Legislature has cleared the path for judges to individually assess defendants and disregard any enhancement, resulting in wildly inconsistent sentences that fail to hold violent criminals accountable.” Prosecutors asked the court to impose 40 years to life and an additional six years for assault on Josh Tasabia and two other responding officers. Tissue boxes were all around the Placerville courtroom as Ishmael’s colleagues, friends and family members were there to hear the sentences, including Brian’s wife Katie Ishmael, his sister Brenda Brown and his parents Kim and Don Ishmael, who all delivered statements about how the murder changed their lives forever. “The day Brian was murdered I lost my soulmate, best friend, husband and father to our three children,” Katie said. “I had to sit in front of my then 5, 8 and 10-year-old babies and tell them that their father had been shot and killed and that he was not coming home and that he was never coming home.” The moment Katie called Brian’s parents that morning is a moment Brian’s father Don said is still scarred in his memory. “Kim answered the phone. I can still hear (Kim) screaming — ‘Brian’s dead! No!’” Don recalled. “At that moment the world of having two wonderful adult kids and seven fabulous grandkids was shattered. I could literally hear my heart break. The pain was so intense that I couldn’t catch my breath.” Don said he felt paralyzed and he couldn’t cry and he wanted to scream. “Kim was so scared she went and called 911 as she thought I was having a heart attack,” Don said. “This single incident shattered and turned our lives upside down,” Brian’s mother Kim said. “Brian had so much to live for. He was only 37 years old and he was the kind of guy that would light up the room.” Don told a story of Brian — who stood at 6-foot, 3-inches — “going the extra mile,” when he went to speak to a kindergarten class. Instead of sitting in a chair, he sat down on the floor with the kids so he would be at their height. Katie said she and her children have moved to a new school district for a fresh start and they are all in counseling to cope. “My little daughter is learning to control her anxiety and fear of something bad happening to me because she says I’m the only one left,” Katie said. “My son who is now 8 asked me if his memories of his daddy are real or a dream. My oldest felt she needed to grow up overnight.” Katie said when she first broke the news to her

That little girl didn’t just lose her daddy but her absolute hero.” She said her son has since learned to ride a quad and her oldest daughter began playing basketball. Brian wasn’t there to share in the excitement. She talked about all the big life events her husband won’t be at. “Our children won’t get to look at their father beaming with pride,” Katie said. Brian’s sister Brenda wrote a statement and it was read by her husband C.J. Brown in the courtroom. Brenda said she was about three when her younger brother was born and that they were inseparable.

“Growing up I had a built-in best friend with Brian and he followed me everywhere,” read Brenda’s statement. “Juan Carlos and Christopher Ross handed everyone of us a life sentence that morning. The memories I have of him now are all I will ever have. There will be no new memories.” After the family spoke Lueras asked VazquezOrozco’s attorney Lori London and Ross’ attorney Adam Weiner if their clients wished to make a statement of their own. Vazquez-Orozco declined while Ross elected to speak. “If I could go back in time to change some things I did that night to make sure these guys made it home safe I surely would,” said Ross, who then glanced toward the audience. “But on that note I would just like to say I’m sorry to the Ishmael family.”

Arts and Culture El Dorado honors El Dorado Community Foundation leader Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer

l Dorado Community Foundation Executive Director Bill Roby will accept the next Normadene Carpenter Award presented by Arts and Culture El Dorado, which recognizes people for their extraordinary commitment to culture and creativity in El Dorado County. The celebratory event takes place Thursday, June 2 at 6 p.m. at David Girard Vineyards in Placerville. The El Dorado Community Foundation, established in 1994, encourages private giving for the public good with a mission of “strengthening our community both now and for future generations.” Two years shy of its 30th anniversary, the foundation continues to serve community needs in myriad of ways. With nearly 100 funds operating under the foundation, the funds collectively serve animal welfare, community and culture, the environment, physical and mental health, poverty and housing, scholarships, seniors, veterans, and youth and education funds. Celebrating just more than 15 years with the organization, Roby’s passion for community service grew as his engagement with the foundation took hold in that first year on the job. “My passion moved forward along with my determination of wanting and feeling that I could assist,” he said. Working with the foundation provides Roby with a platform to put his ideas into action. “It never dawned on me that I could make a difference,” he said, remembering taking the executive director position at the foundation just over a year after starting his work there. “I remember distinctly being at home and walking around the property,” he said. “I said to myself, ‘Am I crazy? What am I doing? I’ve never done something like this. I’ve never led an effort like this, I’m an analyst.’ “It really comes down to believing in yourself and the convictions that you have,” Roby continued. “And those came from my mom and dad.

A lover of arts and community service, Bill Roby has given more than 15 years of his efforts to improving people’s lives in El Dorado County. The El Dorado Community Foundation executive director is the latest recipient of the Normadene Carpenter Award. Which is that we’re put on this Earth to do good.” Witnessing his mother, Jo, and father, Bud, serve their community throughout his life made doing good a part of his DNA. “They were my example.” An early memory from his childhood is his mother and aunts putting together a Christmas care package for neighbors experiencing hard times. “We each donated a present to that box,” Bill recalled, referring to himself and his three siblings. “My parents taught us all, ‘It’s not what we take from the banquet of life, but what we bring to the table,’” he said. Bud Roby decided early to alter the trajectory of Bill and his siblings’ lives. Being a second-generation coal miner, Bud wanted more opportunities for his children. “My parents came from abject poverty,” Bill said. The family relocated to Richmond, leaving behind their entire family that had been there for generations. Bill was

just 2 years old. “Our lives changed forever,” he shared. Living in the Bay Area, the family would often visit Golden Gate Park. “My parents would park themselves at the bandshell and listen to the music,” he said. “And I would go to de Young and that’s where I fell in love with the arts.” After college Bill went to work with Benetton Sports Group in the 1980s and later for the John Hancock Agricultural Investment Group as a financial analyst. His work with Hancock afforded him an opportunity to return to California. Then Bill’s father experienced some significant health issues. While Bill was certainly closer to home than on the East Coast he was not right next door. When it became clear his father would be recovering at home for an extended period Bill left his position with John Hancock and moved in with his parents to help his mother. “My dad started to improve, which was great,” he said. “And

I started becoming anxious to do something.” An opportunity to work with a nonprofit in the East Bay presented itself. Bill was hired at New Connections, a drug and alcohol services organization, as the operations manager. “I thought I’d be there maybe a year and I was there for seven.” He worked with the nonprofit through significant growth. “It was enjoyable to be there for seven years and watch the organization elevate,” he said. Around this time, Bill met his future husband Jim — a nurse working for Kaiser Permanente, coincidentally at the same facility where Bill’s father had been treated years prior. They married the following year in 2004 when then San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom began allowing the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses at City Hall. “We stood for eight hours in line,” Bill recalled. The couple later married n

Day hiker Stagecoach Trail

he Stagecoach Trail in the Auburn State Recreation Area is three trails in one. Park in the confluence area near the kiosk. Keep in mind there is a $10 day use fee. Behind the State Parks kiosk there is a trail that leads under the Foresthill Bridge. You will be headed upriver left. This is not to be confused with the popular Clementine Trail on the other side of the North Fork of the American River. The moderate, uphill climb has a couple left turns options. If you take the first sharp left onto Lower Stagecoach at the sign you enjoy the view of the Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge and the American River that flows beneath. You may choose to continue to the bench for a view of the confluence area or onto Russell Road. The out-and-back hike is approximately 2 miles. Or, stay on the main trail to the second left turn to Upper Stagecoach for canyon views and a trail that isn’t as heavily traveled

Mary West Outdoor columnist as Lower Stagecoach. Keep your eye out for the heart tree stump. It is a tree that has been covered with heart shaped rocks placed in the nooks and crannies of the tree bark. State Parks staff cut it down before it fell, potentially taking half the trail with it. Both trails are home to wildflowers in the spring. Or, the third option is to stay on the uphill trail to the foundation of the Foresthill Bridge. Park rangers have warned me not to linger under the bridge as objects have been dropped and could be a danger to hikers or mountain bikers traveling under the bridge. It isn’t a very long trail, maybe 2 miles round trip, but at the end of the trail there is a great picnic spot. An

Oak Ridge Dance Team takes Hip Hop trophy Jana Rossi Staff writer

roud mom Nicole Hughes called the Oak Ridge Dance Team “remarkable.” “Not only was it an honor for our Oak Ridge Dance Team to compete at the USA Dance Nationals in Anaheim ... this year, but to win the National Title in the Small Group Hip Hop category and make Oak Ridge High School history is truly remarkable,” Hughes said. Her daughter Taylor Hughes has been dancing and competing in hip hop since she was 8. Taylor’s older cousin Ashley Christensen competed for Oak Ridge in years prior and now Taylor follows in her footsteps. This is her first year competing as a freshman for the Oak Ridge team. “The opportunity to compete at USA Dance Nationals in Anaheim was the ultimate honor. Many don’t realize the years of commitment and sacrifice each dancer makes to reach this level of competition,” Taylor told the Mountain Democrat. “The reality of winning a national championship and also making school history is an experience I’ll never forget. Going to Disneyland the next day was magical.”

This is Coach Erin Vasconcellos’ 12th year coaching the team and the 10th year Oak Ridge has competed at the USA Dance Nationals. “I am proud of their perseverance and taking first place for the first time,” Vasconcellos said of her dancers. This year’s dance team is made up of 11 girls, freshmen to seniors. The number varies, depending on what talent Vasconcellos is looking for at the time. The experience the girls bring to the squad varies as well, she explained, with some dancing for a year and others most of their young lives. The team performs a wide variety of different styles of dance — hip hop, jazz, lyrical, interpretational — with dancers most often entertaining the crowds during Oak Ridge football and basketball halftime shows. “Winning first place in Hip Hop was definitely a night to remember,” shared junior Grace Reimer. “I wouldn’t want to have done it without these amazing people on this team. It was so rewarding from all of our hard work and resilience we put in this season. We feel honored to be given this award and make Oak Ridge Dance Team history.”

That’s great, Fritter! When jobs aren’t easy to find, sometimes you have to think like an entrepreneur!

For example, lots of kids have learned that thirsty people on hot days will pay for a cold glass of lemonade.

Write out a business idea for each of the problems below.

Your neighbors are going on a two week vacation. They have two cats and a large fish tank.

An entrepreneur (pro-nounced on-treh-preh-noor) is a person who sees a way to earn some money by solving a problem.

An elderly neighbor has a hard time getting to the store. She also has lots of leaves and weeds in her yard.

You hear neighbors complaining about how much they dislike washing their windows and other weekend chores.

Talk to your family members about ways that you can earn a little money doing special chores or by gathering items for a yard sale. Do they have other ideas?

Draw a line to match each puzzle piece.

One way to make money is to get a job. But that is not possible for everyone. Oftentimes, kids can’t get jobs because they are too young to work.

Look through the newspaper and make a list of all the businesses mentioned. Group these businesses into categories such as restaurants, stores and manufacturers.

But that hasn’t stopped kids around the world from finding clever ways of earning some cash by becoming entrepreneurs. It takes some creativity and patience, but you can be an entrepreneur, too!

Roby

Continued from B1

again in 2008 when same-sex marriage was briefly legalized statewide before being overturned by Proposition 8 just five months later. Prop. 8 was ruled unconstitutional by a trial court in 2010 and affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013, validating Bill and Jim’s marriage. Bill’s grandparents on his mother’s side lived in Placerville so he spent a lot of his youth in the area. While working for New Connections he started considering a move to El Dorado County. “I decided to come up here for the weekend,” he said, admitting that he had always wanted to own a property where he could have horses — a passion since childhood. “I mentioned to Jim, ‘Why don’t’ we go up to the Mother Lode for the weekend,’” While driving up Highway 50, Jim told Bill to “take the next exit,” informing him they were going to an open house. “We did and we ended up putting a bid on that house,” Bill said. “He was already in before I even knew that this was a possibility to move to El Dorado County.” The couple didn’t get that house but did purchase a property in Shingle Springs in 2005. Bill continued to commute to Concord daily for more than a year but the commute was taking its toll. Bill gave notice at

New Connections and began looking for work closer to home. “I went on a website that was posting new job openings and there was one for the El Dorado Community Foundation for a grants officer,” he said. He applied that evening and had an interview the following day. “That was on a Thursday and on Friday I was hired and on Monday morning I started,” he said. Just over a year later Roby was named the interim director when executive director Steve Healy stepped down to continue his work with New Morning Youth and Family Services. Shortly after that, the board confirmed his position, and Bill has remained at his post since. Since his revelatory experiences at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Bill has always been an art lover. “Our experience is much more than our day-to-day experience,” he explained. “It’s allowing ourselves to be transported. “To see a painting that an individual has put on the canvas just by the sheer talent of their hand and their mind,” Bill continued. “Those enrich us. “What’s interesting about the arts scene in El Dorado County is very indicative of all rural communities,” he

added, noting that in metropolitan cities the majority of philanthropic giving goes to the arts and cultural events. “You get the opposite in a rural community, where you are much more focused on the human need and community need as a whole,” he said. Shifting philanthropic funding toward the arts is a heavy lift, according to Bill. “We have to be advocates for it,” he said. “We have to keep reminding people that our lives are enriched by the arts. “We can go and experience a play and be submerged into an experience that otherwise we would never have and it challenges us and it changes us,” he shared. “We can encourage our donors to give to these very worthy projects. We need to continue to be a megaphone to support those efforts. “Life is more than going to work and coming home, doing the day-to-day,” Bill added. “Those are the reasons they are important,” he concluded. “And receiving the Normadene Carpenter Award does provide that platform for me to articulate that. That’s important.” For more ore information about the award event and to attend visit artsandcultureeldorado.org/ benefit-2022.

Grow for it! Lavender

magine sitting in a Mediterranean garden — the sun on your face and the scent of lavender filling the air. You only have to inhale the perfume fragrance and appreciate its drought tolerance Kathy Pearson and its ability to grow in sunny, rocky habitats UCCE Master Gardener of and poor soils to agree El Dorado County that lavender makes a wonderful addition to El Dorado County gardens. Plus, it attracts bees, beneficial insects, birds and butterflies. No gardener could miss the beauty of lavender; however, most are unaware of the diversity of colors, shapes and sizes the genus Lavendula produces. Faced with an array of more than 40 named varieties, it’s no wonder it’s difficult to decide which to choose. When purchasing lavender plants, chose those plants where the botanical name is identified. There are three hardy lavender varieties to showcase in El Dorado County gardens: English lavender, Lavandula augustifolia; Hedge lavender, Lavandula intermedi; and Spanish lavender, Lavandula stoechas. • Augustifolia is the hardiest of all the lavenders, has the broadest color range of all species, has mostly grey-green, narrow leaves and a fruity,

Lavender is a lovely, fragrant addition to gardens. The plants will attract pollinators, birds and butterflies. spicy, delicate scent. Preferred for its aroma and for culinary uses, L. augustifolia tends to be a shorter, more compact plant and blooms from early to mid-summer. Popular augustifolia varieties include the deep purple blooms of Hidcote, the pastel pink Melissa and the pale lilac Jean Davis. • Intermedia is a cross between L. augustifolia and L. latifolia. It has long-stemmed flowers with thick flower spikes and two secondary flower clusters below the primary one. Some common L. intermedias are Fred Boutin, Grosso, Provence and White Spikes.

• Stoechas is very showy with compressed barrelshaped flowers, topped by colorful butterfly winglike bracts. Stoechas will make your garden hum, blooming profusely in early spring and attracting pollinators to your fruit and nut trees. When finished blooming, give it a good pruning. Favorite stoechas include the purple Otto Quast, the redviolet flowers with pale pink bracts of Kew Red and the pink bract-dark plum flowers of Tickled Pink. Lavenders need full sun, at least six hours a day, and sandy, well-drained soil to thrive. Optimum exposure to heat and sun will result in more fragrant blooms. During their first two years, lavenders need regular water, especially during summer heat and fall drought. Lavenders become drought resistant after they become mature and are well established. Lavenders cannot tolerate wet feet. Providing good air circulation between plants is a must. Pinch, prune and harvest lavenders to keep plants well-shaped and to encourage new growth. Annual pruning can also avoid woody centers. Prune no more than one-third of the plant. Harvesting lavender is one of the most enjoyable activities a gardener can experience. Harvest flower stems in the morning after any dew evaporates. To keep the entire flower spike intact, cut when the first two flowers have opened. Hang tied bunches of lavender in a dry, dark place with good ventilation or individual stems across drying

screen. For those who don’t have large planting areas, lavender can thrive in pots. Lavender prefers a tight living space — a container that can accommodate the root ball with several inches to spare. Too large of a container can encourage excessive dampness.

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 1.866.684.2727 or visit this Internet Website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-00002-2FNT. 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 1.866.684.2727, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-00002-2FNT to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The real Property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real Property described above is purported to be: 6759 Oak Lane, Placerville, CA The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining unpaid balance of the obligations secured by and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust (together with any modifications thereto). The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the Property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $25,872.80 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The Property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the Property receiver, if applicable.

Assembly Bill 481, codified at Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 (“AB 481”), requires all law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from the applicable governing body prior to taking any action related to funding, acquisition, collaboration, or other use of “military equipment,” as that term is defined by Section 7070(c). The list of items considered “military equipment” by AB 481 are employed by many law enforcement agencies across the country as best practices to enhance citizen and officer safety.

To comply with this mandate, the governing body must consider and adopt a “military equipment use policy,” as defined in Section 7070(d). The policy must further delineate the authorized military equipment and its purpose and use, associated fiscal impact, legal and procedural rules, and requisite training. The policy must list the mechanisms to ensure compliance with its terms and methods for members of the public to lodge complaints. The ordinance would take effect 30 days following approval from the City Council, which is scheduled for action at the regular meeting of May 24, 2022, 5:00 p.m. at Town Hall, 549 Main Street, Placerville. A complete copy of the proposed ordinance may be viewed at the Placerville City Clerk’s office, 3101 Center Street, Placerville. You may also request a copy be mailed or faxed to you at no charge by calling the City Clerk’s office at 530-6425531.

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. BARRETT DAFFIN FRAPPIER TREDER and WEISS, LLP, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 04/19/2017 as Instrument No. 2017-0015561-00 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of EL DORADO County, State of CALIFORNIA.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES. BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000009377961. 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 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW. SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000009377961 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.
