State of the county
Pandemic leads to increased tax revenue, funding Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer At the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week District 1 Supervisor and Board Chair John Hidahl delivered the State of the County address, sharing that the county is in good shape and has a much brighter outlook for the future than expected. “I want to start by telling you how much joy it brings me to see this group of people here with big smiling faces and a little bit of laughter and some conversation,” said Hidahl, kicking off his speech at Cold Springs Country Club in Placerville during one of the first in-person chamber events in more than a year as gatherings were discouraged amid the COVID-19 Mountain Democrat photo by Andrew Vonderschmitt pandemic.

that the county had been able to put away reserve funds for capital improvements and other activities over the past year, including contributions to the Public Employee Retirement System and other unfunded liabilities. The county expected projected losses in terms of a normal revenue cycle with reductions in property tax, transient occupancy tax, sales tax and other areas. “I am pleased to say we were surprised,” Hidahl said, referring to increases in some of those sources of county revenue. Sales tax increased substantially mainly due to online sales during the pandemic that brought those sales tax dollars back to the address of purchase. Another surprise came in increased transient occupancy taxes, otherwise known as the hotel tax, due in large part to taxes generated by n

Main Street events are back — but with a caveat Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Seven traditional Main Street events have been approved to return to Placerville in 2021 but with added costs as event organizers are expected to pay up to $1,000 to help offset city costs associated with closing off the thoroughfare. Events that will go forward this year: June: Hangtown Days August: Classic car show August: Winederlust September: Oktoberfest October: Trick or Treat on Main Street November: The Festival of Lights December: Hangtown Christmas Parade

The El Dorado County Planning Commission last week reviewed design plans for a Dollar General proposed to go in on Northside Drive and Highway 49 in Cool, finding the project is consistent with the General Plan but asking developers to make a few tweaks. The developers — Southern Californiabased Woodcrest REV — must now plan for a Class I bike path along Highway 49, a 4-foot asphalt path along a widened Northside Drive and to limit its outdoor storage as conditions of approval. Traffic congestion and pedestrian safety concerns from both the public and commissioners prompted upgrading plans for a Class II bike path to a Class n

Delden “Del” Monroe Haven
Oct. 12, 1930 – April 16, 2021
Delden “Del” Monroe Haven, longtime El Dorado County business pioneer and civic leader turned world traveler, died April 16, surrounded by loving family. He was 90. Mr. Haven established deep roots in El Dorado County, owning the first gas station in El Dorado Hills, helping found the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce and serving on the El Dorado County Grand Jury. Born Oct. 12, 1930 to Oklahoma sharecroppers who made their way to California as part of the famed “Okie Migration,” Mr. Haven would serve his country during the post-Korean War period before settling in the foothills of northern California to raise a family, start a business and grow his community. With those tasks complete, he set off with his wife to see the world. An entrepreneur from his earliest days. Mr. Haven went from delivering the Sacramento Bee and raising rabbits for sale during World War II, to earning a bachelor’s degree in biology and economics from Valparaiso University. Cpl. Haven’s military service included a tour as company clerk for the 519th Military Police in Wonju, Korea. He married Lynn James Haven in 1953 and the couple was married for 68 years. Opportunity knocked in 1964 as the community of El Dorado Hills began to sprout along the two lanes which comprised Highway 50. Working at Union Oil Company at the time, Mr. Haven scraped together needed funds, quit his job with Union and leased the new service station in tiny El Dorado Hills. He would own and operate the 76 Station for the next 20 years, lighting and extinguishing the revolving “76 ball” for two decades, while participating in the remarkable evolution of the beautiful community. As El Dorado Hills grew, Mr. Haven joined fellow business owners to establish the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce, which counted among their earliest victories getting national map companies to add El Dorado Hills to their publications. As president of the chamber, he worked with El Dorado Hills developers, testifying in a legal victory which prevented large and unsightly electrical transmission lines from being located at the newly established entry to El Dorado Hills, preserving the beautiful experie nce of driving into the community that continues today. With retirement nearing, the Havens sold the 76 Station and moved to Cameron Park, retaining a deep commitment to El Dorado Hills. Mr. Haven proved he was not quite ready to fully retire and for the next 13 years worked as a real estate agent and assistant manager for Cook & Cook Realtors. At age 67, Mr. Haven retired for a second time and set off with his wife to explore the globe. Their travels took them to the United Kingdom, and on an African safari to Kenya. With a hip replacement, he walked the Great Wall of China. Joining a mission trip with Light of the Hills Church in Cameron Park, the Havens traveled to Russia to teach English to high school students and two more mission trips to the small village of Kabimoi, Kenya followed. Their wanderlust also took them to adventures across the United States, exploring the back roads of New England, the bright lights of New York City and the tranquility of Mammoth Lake. Together, the Havens discovered a small town in northern Florida called Lynn Haven among other travel quests. Mr. Haven is survived by his wife, Lynn Haven; two brothers, Jack Herbert Haven and William (Bill) Haven; sister Jane Garmen; brother-in-law Jim Gibson; two sons Curt Haven (Marjorie) of Gold River and Brad Haven (Teri) of Merced; daughter Mickey Haven-Porter (Paul Porter) of Bodega Bay; nine grandchildren, Alicia Evangelista, Andrea Haven, Matthew Haven, Robyn Kopp, Derek Kopp, BJ Haven, Jed Haven, Sunshine Haven and Abraham Haven and eight great-grandchildren, Kaleb Evangelista, Elias Arthur, Joslynn Arthur, Davis Haven, Romy Haven, Winston Haven, Roman Haven, Callen Haven and Charlie Haven. A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 22 at Light of the Hills Lutheran Church in Cameron Park. A memorial fund has been established at Light of the Hills Scholarship Fund, 3100 Rodeo Road, Cameron Park, 95682.

Faye Linda Shankle
March 1, 1937 – May 1, 2021
Faye Linda Shankle, 84, died in her sleep on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at her longtime residence in Hayden, Idaho. Faye was born on March 1, 1937, in Sacramento, Calif., to Floyd and Ann Self. The family moved to the Placerville area in 1946 where she graduated from El Dorado High School in 1954 and then attended Sacramento Junior College. Faye worked for the State of California when she met her future husband, Joe Shankle, who was a non-commissioned officer in the United States Air Force and stationed near Sacramento. In May 1959, Joe and Faye were married and later moved to Beale Air Force Base, where Joe was next stationed. While there, Faye worked for General Dynamics until just before their first son was born in 1963. They were then stationed at Loring Air Force Base, Maine where their second son was born in 1966. The Shankle family returned to California while Joe served in Thailand during the Vietnam War. Joe later returned to Mather Air Force Base and retired in 1970. The Shankles lived in Placerville until moving to a farm in Westmond, Idaho in 1975. Faye worked as a legal secretary and then for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare until she retired in the early 90s. By then, both of their sons were serving in the Air Force, so Joe and Faye sold the farm and moved to Hayden in 1993. Throughout their retirement years, Faye and Joe traveled extensively across the country to visit their many friends and relatives. They were RVers and snow-birded in Arizona for several years. Faye was a collector of antiques and decorative owls, an enthusiastic member of the Hayden Red-Hat Society, photographer and a skilled genealogy researcher. After Joe passed away in 2008, Faye continued to travel and visit friends and family; even traveling as far as Hawaii and Eastern Europe. She treasured spending time with her close local friends: Elena Infante, Sam and Maryann Taibi, Maryann Benson and Aaron and Roberta Davis. Faye’s family, friends and neighbors were the center of her life and she placed a high priority on staying in touch with everyone. Faye was preceded in death by her parents and husband. Her surviving family includes her sons and their wives: Brett and Marie Shankle of Ethel, Wash., Jeff and Elena Shankle of Krivoy Rog, Ukraine and cousin Bruce and JoAnn Mello of Placerville, Calif., as well as numerous cousins throughout California and Oregon. Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19, at Coeur d’Alene Memorial Gardens, 7315 Government Way, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815. Yates Funeral Home has been entrusted with the final arrangements. Please visit Faye’s online memorial and sign her guestbook at yatesfuneralhomes.com.

Bill was born July 30, 1933 in San Rafael, Calif. He passed away peacefully in his sleep March 23 after a lengthy illness. Bill proudly served two terms in the Army. When he was honorably discharged, Bill returned to his hometown of Vallejo. After a few years he moved to Placerville, Calif., where he spent his remaining days. It was in Placerville where he met Ruth and they were married shortly after. Bill and Ruth were together almost 57 years. Bill is survived by his wife Ruth Washabaugh; the Washabaugh children Rick (Carrie) Stacey and Deborah Kingsbury; grandchildren Jason Emery, Jared, Justin (Bree), Aaron Phillips, Adam and Lorri; great-grandchildren Evan, Emma and Karter. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers, two sisters, his son Michael Phillips and grandson Jeff Washabaugh. Bill’s smile lit up any room he was in and he had a great attitude throughout his life. Bill loved to have friends and family over for barbecues as well as helping friends with projects they were working on at their homes. He worked hard his entire life and took a lot of pride in supporting his family. His love for nature, working in the yard and cars were not taken lightly either. He could name any bird that flew into his yard or classic car that drove by. Before Bill suffered his stroke in 1992, Bill and Ruth loved to travel in their motorhome or their antique cars. When Bill was asked to coach baseball by two of his friends, Harley Weir and Johnny Escobar, Bill told them he didn’t know much about the game. “Not a problem, Bill we will teach you!” they ensured him and that they did. He was very proud that he was able to coach both of his boys Rick and Michael in baseball. He loved coaching and the boys he coached. Bill enjoyed seeing his daughter Stacey play softball and never missed a game. Most of all, Bill loved his family. He was a great father, husband and “Papa.” He will be greatly missed. At Bill’s request, there will be no services, however there will be a celebration of his life at a later date.

El Dorado junior perishes in crash
Dr. Little’s Dental News

DON’T LET STAINS RUIN YOUR SMILE
A drive along Pony Express Trail in Pollock Pines turned fatal 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning, according to a California Highway Patrol spokesman. Roman Brambila, 18, was driving a white 2005 Subaru Legacy reportedly at a high rate of speed with Alyssa Anton, 17, in the passenger seat. CHP investigators say the vehicle left the paved
Bell Woods map OK’d Chris Daley Mountain Democrat correspondent The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors gave the nod to the Bell Woods project in Cameron Park last week. The project would create 54 residential lots and four open lots; board approval includes two elements. First is the project’s final map followed by an authorization for Chairman John Hidahl to sign an “agreement
Dollar General
to make subdivision improvements.” The Bell Woods site is 34 acres along Knollwood Drive, approximately 200 feet east of the intersection with Hollow Oak Drive. While planning for Bell Woods began in the 1990s and the tentative map was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 24, 2005, the project stalled after the economic downturn of 2008. It was eventually acquired by Lennar Winncrest in 2017.

I. A Class II path is a bike lane along a roadway’s edge while a Class I is a path separated from vehicular traffic. A motion to approve the project’s environmental documents and design with the previously mentioned changes passed 4-1 with Commissioners John Vegna, James Williams, Amanda Ross and John Clerici voting yes and Cheryl Bly-Chester the sole no vote. If an appeal of the design is filed within 10 days of May 13’s approval the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors will have the final say. The 9,100-square-foot retail building would be constructed on the east side of Highway 49, south of the intersection with Northside Drive on a 1.7acre site. The Planning Commission originally approved the project May 28, 2020. An appeal of the project approval was filed by the Divide Preservation Society and the Cool-Pilot Hill Advisory Committee. The grounds for the independently filed appeals asserted that the county’s reliance on a mitigated negative declaration violates the California Environmental Quality Act and the project may have a significant impact to traffic and circulation, aesthetics, cultural resources, drainage, urban decay and cumulative impacts.
State of the County Airbnb stays. “We were able to collect more funds from Airbnb than we had in the past because of the diligence of our treasurer/ tax collector following up and pushing that issue,” he said. Hidahl talked briefly about CARES Act funding the county received, which totaled $19.5 million. “The board made a decision to put $5 million into small businesses and we ran the program through the El Dorado Community Foundation,” he said. “We also dedicated $5 million to schools.” He mentioned that the funding helped cover personal protection equipment and rapid testing in the return-toclassroom effort. He then talked about the American Rescue Plan that will pay $37 million to El Dorado County in two payments. The first payment of $18.5 million will come in by the end of this month with the remaining $18.5 within the next 12 months. “I know there are several asks that have already come in — all good causes — but the difficulty will be for the county staff and ultimately the board to look at all those things and try to determine the right mix of expenditures,” Hidahl said. Hidahl also discussed homelessness in the county and opportunities that came about during the pandemic. “We were able to get involved with Project Roomkey,” he said. State funds helped to house at-risk homeless individuals during the pandemic and initially proved the efficacy of the program. Hidahl said state-funded acquisitions of properties will keep similar
portion of the roadway east of Manzanita Street and collided with a tree, continued in a clockwise rotation and hit an additional tree. Anton, who was finishing her junior year at El Dorado High School, was pronounced deceased on scene while Brambila was airlifted to Renown Hospital in Reno, Nev., for his injuries. Alcohol is suspected to be a contributing factor to this crash, according to the CHP spokesman, who also said neither the driver nor the passenger were wearing a seatbelt.

When bright white teeth are your goal, it’s good to know the causes of dental stains so you can avoid them. There are many products and procedures for whitening your teeth available at local drug stores as well as your dentist’s office, but if you want to maintain whitened teeth, there are some foods to avoid and habits to change. If you smoke—stop now. Foods with bright colors are likely to leave their mark on your teeth, so if you can’t brush after enjoying berries, pasta sauce, or curry, try rinsing your mouth with water and/or chewing some sugar-free gum to loosen some of the staining particles. Do the same after drinking coffee, tea, or red wine.
In addition to the way other people see you, the many methods of cosmetic dentistry can greatly improve the way you see yourself. Thanks to procedures such as whitening, bonding, veneers, contouring, and implants, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted. We will use all our skills, artistry, and experience to design a treatment plan that exactly suits your needs and lifestyle. Please call for an appointment. P.S. Be careful when using tooth-whitening products since overuse can actually cause permanent discoloration of teeth.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Continued from A1 programs going with El Dorado Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care working collaboratively with the county and several nonprofit and private organizations to battle homelessness. Senate Bill 1 transportation funding was expected to yield more revenue for the county. “It turns out we are receiving about half of the expected funds of SB 1 funding,” he said. So the Board of Supervisors has elected to take roughly $1.3 million from the transient occupancy tax to mitigate impacts of tourism and add that to other funding ultimately designating roughly $3 million to maintain roadways throughout the county. He touched on the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office headquarters that opened on Industrial Drive in greater Placerville. In 2018 the county took out a 40-year loan to build the facility, which opened in 2019. “We are making our first real payment this year,” he said. The county will make a $2.5 million payment annually for a 40-year period to pay off the facility. “That is an additional obligation that we didn’t have before,” said Hidahl, reiterating the necessity of the expenditure. With the 2020 census the county is now required to redistrict. The county will retain five supervisorial districts but they will not remain the same geographically or even be similar to current districts. New geographical boundaries will be created based on mandates from the state of California. “What the state wants us to do is start with a clean sheet of paper — no minor adjustments
to what exists today — and take all the public input on why communities of similar identity should be grouped together to form a new district and build your proposals based on that public input,” Hidahl said. Hidahl recalled that he had been involved with 2010 redistricting, which was essentially a minor tweak to the existing district boundaries. This year, however, the state has established criteria of how the work is to be done and will be monitoring the process of each county’s efforts. “The real challenge here is the timing to get the data and make decisions,” he said, explaining that the data will not be readily available until around September. “We have an election coming up in 2022 so the date we currently have to get the redistricting completed is Dec. 15 of this year to go into next year’s election cycle,” he said. Hidahl mentioned there is talk at the state legislative level of possibly extending redistricting until 2022 due to the pandemic causing slow data delivery vital for the process. He assured that although redistricting will be a challenge the county will do the best it can to complete the work. The county Surveyor’s Office will take the lead in the effort with the help of a team made up of elected and appointed department heads. “We really can’t start holding public meetings until July,” he said. Hidahl added that only two public meetings can be held before data comes in and two more public meetings after receiving census data.

However, some effects of the pandemic will linger indefinitely and one is a worsening of California’s already severe shortage of housing, particularly for low- and moderate-income families. Many of those families lost their incomes during the public health crisis and fell behind on their rent and mortgage payments. Whether to extend a state moratorium on evictions beyond its current June 30 expiration date is one of the knottiest issues facing Newsom and legislators. “It remains to be seen if there’s appetite in Sacramento to extend the protections past June 30,” David Chiu, a San Francisco Democrat who wrote the original eviction moratorium legislation, told CalMatters. “But I don’t think any of my colleagues have an interest in seeing a wave of mass evictions.” The COVID-19 The moratorium may pandemic appears be extended for another brief period, but it can’t to be easing in go on forever because California, but landlords large and its effects will small have their own financial obligations and linger, including a can’t survive indefinitely worsening of the without rental revenue. state’s housing Underlying that thorny issue is another: crisis. even if their jobs had not been erased during the pandemic, many working families would be struggling to keep roofs over their heads because an overall shortage of housing had driven housing prices and rents to atmospheric levels. Chiu and other legislators have proposed a variety of measures aimed, they say, at relieving the underlying shortage that drives Californians’ housing costs ever-upward and is the primary reason why the state has the nation’s highest poverty rate. Housing bills generally fall into two categories: providing money to increase supply or lubricating the regulatory processes for housing developments. Both approaches, however, are severely limited. Doubling California’s anemic rate of housing production, now well less than 100,000 units a

Letters to the Editor Equity vs. equality
Heartfelt apology
EDITOR: really enjoyed the political cartoon of April 28 showing equality vs. equity. It was a good depiction of the differences and gave me pause to look up the meaning of the two words. As the cartoon, showed equity means fairness and justice. The smallest person could not see over the fence so, to be fair, no one gets to see over the fence (and critical race theory is digging a deeper hole). Equality means having the same rights and ability. Life is not fair. We are all different. Yet given equal opportunity, as depicted in the cartoon, we are all able to see over the fence. Thanks for sparking the debate. It’s worth talking about. CINDA WALTON Cameron Park
EDITOR: athy Smith, you have my deepest apology that my tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor regarding the tragic use of the word “stimulus” that touched off your pedantic, albeit tortured diatribe. I humbly consider myself totally schooled in the matter and apologize for my former total ignorance. I would, however, refer you to a recent hearing (that happened subsequent to my letter) when Darrel Isa questioned John Galvin regarding what is defined as a “green job.” In answer to Isa’s questions Galvin had to choke out agreement if jobs Isa listed qualified. To name just a few, they included emptying port-a-potties, a teen employed in a used record shop, a school bus driver, an employee in a bicycle shop and an antique dealer. I can clearly see how you arrived at your definition and, again, humbly apologize. EILEEN DEAN Placerville

Respecting trees EDITOR: he sidewalk across from where I live is a depository of used masks from the schoolchildren who walk under the abused and neglected trees of the neighborhood. Behind us a magnificent oak woodland is being turned into an aqua center by another school. Recently, a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia has shown that trees communicate better with their own and other species perhaps than we do with our one. The old ones contribute to the next generations, sharing information that is important to the health of the whole forest. They do this underground. Dr. Suzanne Simard observed a Douglas fir that had been injured by insects send chemical warning signals to a nearby ponderosa pine. She has shown that trees share nutrients at critical times to keep each other healthy. She has noted that trees growing from a clearcut do not have the successful regeneration of those growing up in the shelter of a “mother” tree,” like children growing up without the wisdom of elders. She has warned against salvage logging until the old trees have had a chance to pass on their energy (literally through their excess carbon and other nutrients) and other information to seedlings. She suggested their role in photosynthesis is crucial to the survival of all of us. Do our schools communicate this essential information, not to say, nutrient? ELIZABETH CAFFREY Placerville

Evacuation plan needed EDITOR: he more I see and hear about our fire danger the more concern I have, especially regarding having an evacuation plan in place. I remember the Berkeley Hills fire of 1991. A small fire got started. It grew and ripped thru the hills and neighborhoods over three days. Due to narrow streets and close quarters, there was difficulty with people trying to get out and equipment trying to get in to fight the blaze — 23,000 buildings were destroyed and 25 lives lost. We live in Cameron Park and have few options to get out of the way of fast-moving fire. My home is near the top of Santos Circle. We would have to navigate Orinda Circle, Sudbury and, the biggest obstacle, Cameron Park Drive. Those living on feeder roads to Cambridge have the same problem. Does fire.ca.gov have any ideas? I understand the Berkeley Hills area has “zones” that give different areas avenues for escape. We would need some kind of help trying to get people out as safe as possible. I don’t want to imagine what would happen if there was a free-forall with people trying to get out on two main roads and firefighters trying to get in. JOAN PELLEGRINI Cameron Park

Newsom transforms taxpayer protection into welfare

giving everyone a alifornia slice of the rebate in actually has a proportion to their tax government contributions, Newsom spending limit, is turning the program hard as that may be into a giant transfer to believe, and Gavin payment scheme. Newsom is making a Paul Gann, the mockery of it, just as his father of Prop. 13 predecessor did. and the namesake In 1979, a year of this taxpayer after signing off on protection plan, would the revolutionary TED GAINES be dumbfounded Proposition 13, voters by Newsom’s willful passed Proposition misunderstanding and shameless 4, implementing the “Gann Limit,” appropriation of his taxpayerwhich would peg California’s state spending to the 1978-79 level and only protection initiative. The wealthiest taxpayers in this let it grow adjusted for inflation and state, the top 5%, paid nearly 70% population. State revenues above the of California income taxes last year. voter-approved limit can be reckoned Those residents were also supposed with several different ways, including to get relief from the Gann Limit. refunding half of the excess revenues to taxpayers, with the other half going Instead, they get nothing. to schools. Newsom is sending rebates to Newsom is choosing the refund path the bottom two-thirds of tax filers for this year’s massive Gann Limit only. What about the top-third, who excess, which is currently estimated paid a whopping 97% of the total at $16 billion. But instead of sending income taxes in 2018, for example?

though it’s their payments providing the bulk of the excess. And before you shout “Tax the rich!” understand that in that same tax year, we are talking about people making $60,000 a year. It’s great that the governor wants to help taxpayers during the pandemic, even though it was state policy that caused so much of the damage to small businesses and killed so many jobs. If the governor and Legislature want to make more direct payments to taxpayers out of the general fund, after Gann Limit refunds have been fairly distributed, be my guest. In fact, I challenge Gov. Newsom and the Legislature to find ways to make the state more affordable and livable for all citizens, starting with lower taxes on personal income, on business income and on gasoline and by eliminating green energy mandates that have forced our electricity prices up nine times faster than the national average over the past decade. These steps would help every day of the year, not just on the day he announces his budget. Getting money back into the hands of job-creators — by lowering costs
and equitably rebating the Gann Limit dollars — would actually fuel a California rebound. But to repurpose a taxpayer protection act, approved by voters, into a new tax and welfare plan is bad-faith politics and speaks to why Newsom is facing a recall. Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2017 budget dodged the Gann Limit by magically reclassifying $22 billion in spending as neither state nor local, as required by the original proposition, making it disappear, along with the hopes of fiscal conservatives. Brown would not adhere to the mandates of the 1979 Gann Limit reform; he tricked his way past the law and shafted taxpayers along the way. Apparently, Gov. Newsom was watching and learning, waiting for his own opportunity to betray the intent of California’s voters. Mission accomplished. Newsom’s plan is ugly political alchemy, where he mutates a rebate program into a new tax on the homeowners, small business owners,

year net, would require spending tens of billions of dollars more each year and state and local governments are capable of generating only a tiny fraction of those funds. Obviously, therefore, the key element in meeting the state’s goal of 180,000 units a year is attracting private capital. That’s the declared aim of measures to ease restrictions on new developments and/or push local officials to resist anti-development pressures from their constituents. Chiu offers one of the latter approaches in Assembly Bill 215, which would put some teeth in the housing quotas that the state periodically issues for regions and their local governments. It would have the state closely monitor whether those governments are zoning enough land for housing and revising other local regulations that inhibit construction. The state could intervene when locals drag their feet and reward communities that are meeting their quotas. “At the end of the day, the only way to solve the housing crisis is to put more roofs over people’s heads,” Chiu argues, and that’s absolutely true. However, even if every city and county in California diligently met the state’s quotas, which have been increased sharply for the next eight-year planning cycle ending in 2030, that alone would not solve the problem. Attracting enough private capital to meet California’s housing needs involves many other
factors, such as the availability and cost of building materials, supplies of construction labor and the California Environmental Quality Act’s burdensome processes. Some factors are obviously beyond political control, but Newsom and legislators have been reluctant to deal with those they can affect, such as CEQA reform. We’ll know that politicians are serious about housing when they tackle CEQA, which Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, once called “the Lord’s work.” Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

El Dorado junior Hannah Crone leads her competition in the hurdles at the Thunder Invitational. Crone took first in the 100-meter and the 300-meter hurdles.
Track stars finish strong Thomas Frey Staff writer Teams from all over Northern California flocked to Rocklin High School for one final hoo-rah in the 2021 spring track season at the Thunder Invitational. While Oak Ridge, Ponderosa and El Dorado were competing, joining them were Pittsburg, East Union, Chico, South Tahoe and San Lorenzo high schools. Oak Ridge led El Dorado County teams with six first-place finishes, including wins in both the boys and girls pole vault. Junior Kyle Burns set a personal record
with a height of 14 feet, 6 inches while Ali Sahaida won it for the girls after soaring through the air at a height of 12 feet. Trojan senior Caroline Hansen placed second in both the 100-meter and 300-meter hurdles. In both races the only person to finish ahead of her was junior Hannah Crone of El Dorado. Crone picked up a career-high in the 100-meter hurdles. She also finished second in the long jump. She was joined in the winner’s column by teammate Dominic Raffetto, who set a personal best of 4:21.54 in the 1,600-meter run. El Dorado senior
Caelan Bonniksen nearly became the third Cougar to top an event but finished second in the 200-meter run while setting a personal record of 22.55. Ponderosa had three medalists, all of whom were seniors — Jacob Miehe, Karsyn Leikauf and Shae Steiner. Steiner set a seasonhigh time and won the 400-meter event. Overall Oak Ridge finished with six firstplace finishes, five runner-ups and two third-placers. El Dorado won three events, finished second in two and had four competitors take third. Ponderosa had one winner and two thirdplace finishes.

Lakeside Lacrosse 2025 teammates will compete against some of the best lacrosse teams in the country. The girls received an invitation to play in an elite tournament this summer.

Local lacrosse club to make national showing Sel Richard Staff writer Six years ago Toby Carpenter and Chad Ross had little notion that coaching their 7-year-old daughters would turn into an invitation to an elite national tournament. “Chad and I got lucky,” said Carpenter of their stellar roster. They mixed that luck with a lot of hard work and now Lakeside Lacrosse 2025 is headed to Frederica, Del., to compete in the 13U/14U/15U US Lacrosse Youth Nationals. Just two seasons old, the fledgling organization is making a name for itself as Sacramento’s premier lacrosse club. In 2019 Lakeside Lacrosse founders Paul Vota and his wife Amy weren’t sure they could even field a team with more established clubs competing for players. “A lot of the big clubs were Bay Area first and we were kind of a second thought,” Ross pointed out. “To grow the game in Sacramento has been a passion of mine since 2005,” shared Paul, adding that his goals were to build a regional club with a family atmosphere that gives girls exposure to high-end lacrosse. “There are athletes here in the foothills who have enough talent to pull together a strong competitive team.”
Paul has a long history with lacrosse, having played in high school and college at California State University, Chico. He is currently an Oak Ridge High School varsity men’s lacrosse coach. The original Lakeside teams consisted of 90% El Dorado Hills girls. “Now the EDH girls are the minority,” Paul said of his youngest team. Lakeside fields players from as far as Loomis and Chico. And though the club has grown rapidly, Paul said he anticipates capping the final team count at five, with three high school and two middle school teams. “I would rather keep us highly competitive and get more national notoriety than grow to 10 teams.” Delighted with his 2025s, Paul said many qualifying teams pull from multiple regions, sometimes across states, to field a lineup competitive enough to make it to the elite level. “It really helps put the Sacramento region on the national lacrosse map,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of them and the coaches and the families that support them.” Admittance into the U.S. Lacrosse Youth Nationals is normally awarded through a points-based system through qualifying tournaments played throughout the previous year. ■

Marina Village Middle School student Caitlin Beckman, who plays midfield and attack, agreed. “I love that my teammates and I are all close on and off the field because it makes us stronger in the games,” she said, excited to compete. “I am looking forward to playing against the best competition in the country.” Despite their winning record, the two El Dorado Hills dads know they have their work cut out for them. Neither have ever actually played the game and although both have coached many other sports, they concur lacrosse is special. “The best coaching experience I’ve had is in lacrosse. Part of it is the parents don’t know the rules so they can’t complain,” Ross joked. “I feel like it’s a great sport. Any body type can be successful. It’s a great team sport; it’s fun and fast-moving.” As to the prospect of facing off on the home turf of what is traditionally an east coast game, Carpenter admitted intimidation could be a factor. “Nationals will provide us with an opportunity to grow as a team, but also as individuals,” reflected defender Alex Remily, another Rolling Hills student. “We will walk away with not only a better understanding of the game and as better players, but as better people.” Maybe not so intimidated after all.

City of Placerville Director of Community Services Terry Zeller brought forward a resolution at the May 11 City Council meeting proposing an increased fee structure of up to $1,500 per hour or 30% of generated revenue to the city. In the past revenue-generating events such as Winedurlust and Oktoberfest paid a nominal application fee of $100 without revenue-sharing agreements in place. City Manager Cleve Morris said if the resolution was adopted, the added revenue could be used to promote Placerville. Public comment was largely in favor of the city recovering costs for events that close down Main Street but many agreed the proposed costs were too high for most event organizers to front. “We’re already well into producing these events,” said Russ Reyes of Kilt and Cork, the event production company that helped produce Octoberfest in 2019. Kara Sather, executive director of the El Dorado Winery Association, made the case that some events aren’t for profit. “EDWA is a nonprofit and all the money we raise gets put back into the community to raise awareness of the wine country,” she said. “Some of these fee structures that we see presented here would essentially make the event financially unviable.” Mayor Dennis Thomas listed additional expenses taken over by the city after the Placerville Downtown Association in January 2020 dropped out of supporting Main Street events, holiday lighting efforts and the flower basket program. The Mountain Democrat reported at the time that the Placerville Downtown Association removed itself from contention for the business license surcharge that had traditionally been turned over by the city to the association for promotion of the central business district. “That’s their choice as an organization,” said Thomas. “I don’t begrudge them that.” He added that he thought it was not in the city’s interest to funnel money to organizations that weren’t supporting the downtown organizations in a way that is meaningful for merchants downtown.

COVID-19 shutdowns forced officials to offer an application process instead for qualification. Although historically only 16 teams are invited, the event was canceled in 2020, expanding total teams invited this July to 24. “The thing that stood out is that on the West Coast, we’ve pretty much beat every team we played,” explained Ross. “Every top regional all-star team on the West Coast, we’ve beat them.” Carpenter and Ross have recruited players from all over the Sacramento area, including Granite Bay, Folsom and Roseville. They are especially proud of their full time goalie from Yuba City. “That’s what really put us over the top,” grinned Ross. “They’re just a bunch of really strong, dedicated, smart, intelligent, friendly, nice people who support each other,” Carpenter said of the girls. “There’s no selfish play out there. They work well together as a team and they give full effort.” Out of their 18 girls, 10 El Dorado Hills girls have been playing together since fourth grade. “I know my teammates have my back if I mess up and my coaches encourage me to just do my best,” said defender and midfielder Sofia Minoletti of her tight-knit crew. Sofia attends Rolling Hills Middle School. “It’s a special team because we all click and are positive with each other.”
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
“One of the things I would like us to consider is tossing this to PEAC, Placerville Economic Advisory Committee,” said Thomas. “They have the bandwidth to find a way to poll the merchants downtown.” Vice Mayor Kara Taylor confirmed that the increase in fees was not considered in the current budget. Morris pointed out the upcoming events were already in the planning stages and asked the council to be aware of that and be fair to the organizers of those events. Zeller explained that if the city were managing these events, they would continue to be produced regardless of sponsors, nonprofit organizations or organizers attached to those events. “The idea of the city managing the events is important,” said Zeller. “It is illustrated by the fact that we have had changing sponsors since 2019.” “The events are a very good example of what our community wants to put forward,” he continued, explaining that the intent was not to prevent events from prospering but to make sure they continue in a sustainable way. A question about Placerville Police Department’s expenses for each event was raised. “When we get the application and do the security evaluation that’s when we determine which police services will be utilized for that event,” said Police Chief Joseph Wren. “We enter into a contract with the sponsor or promoter of the event and they pay for the officers’ time.” A motion was introduced by Councilmember Michael Saragosa to approve the staff recommendation of making Community Services the direct manager of all events and to charge event sponsors up to $1,000 to cover city costs — vehicular barricades and street closure activities performed by public works staff. Additional costs could be incurred for electrical use and street sweeping if needed. Taylor seconded the motion and pushed for the proposal to go to PEAC for a more in depth analysis of the city’s costs. The motion passed unanimously and further findings will return to the council for consideration prior to the 2022 event season.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t imagine your way into new circumstances, but you also can’t make it happen without imagination. Dream, act, dream more, and then act more. The cycle feeds on itself. Before you know it, you’re somewhere else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re caring and have warmth for all around you. When you get tired, it’s easy to forget your No.1 purpose, which is to love and be loved, but some sweetness you’ve planted will grow to remind you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With communication as your abiding forte, you’re in tune with how much detail people want from a story or explanation -- far less than most people think. Your day will clip along, peppered with efficient interactions. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Every world has unique etiquette and a requisite learning curve. Rules get breeched. Take this as your cue to offer or seek the understanding to smooth it over. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are currently linked to your work in such a way that you couldn’t untie it from who you are, if, indeed, you even wanted to. The way you present yourself is part of the package. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The question of whether or not you should address something is the first consideration. Many problems can be solved by neither recognizing their problematic status nor claiming them as your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Should you show up in person? These days, matters of attendance are complicated. If you don’t want to go, then you have the perfect excuse not to. Figure out another way to show your support though. Opportunities hang in the balance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Lofty goals are good for morale. High stakes and a deadline help, too. People get along better when they are building something that requires cooperation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes, people are oblivious because they lack the courage it takes to notice what needs fixing and do something about it. You’re brave in this regard. Once you see what’s right, you have to act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before virtual reality and meditation apps existed, Carl Jung had the counterintuitive statement, “Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.” You’ll have a moment of living the statement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You generally have a stock of polite options on the ready for the usual situations. It’s when someone insists on your real opinion, as they will today, that you could be thrown for a loop. Levity and brevity are the magic pairing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Since you always feel more comfortable when you know the names and main details of the people you deal with, it’s worth briefing yourself before the interaction. The time you take to bone up on social niceties will be well-spent.

The Quarry Road Trail begins near where two rivers merge to become one.
DAY HIKER Quarry Road Trail
T
he Quarry Road Trail never struck me as being very romantic. Perhaps because I walk Mary West or run (more Outdoor columnist like jog) this trail for me it is about exercise, solitude, a time for thought and reflection. One day in the park I happened to meet a young man who proposed to his bride on the Quarry Road Trail. He told me why he chose this trail. He said there is something about the idea of two rivers beginning life’s journey on the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, finding their way from the thin needles of a pine tree or dripping from granite boulders to creeks and streams. And in Auburn those two rivers meet and continue together, forever to the ocean. I carry this idea with me as I appreciate the view of the Middle Fork of the American River leading to the confluence with the North Fork. My eyes take in the Foresthill Bridge, California’s tallest at 730 feet. The trail itself begins with this view. The pleasure is in the fact that you walk along the Middle Fork for more than a mile. There are picnic tables and chemical toilets along the way. You can see where the kids have scrambled down to get closer to the water or even in the refreshing flow when the summer heat takes its toll. The Middle Fork is significantly colder than the North Fork as the water for the middle comes from the bottom of the reservoir upstream; whereas the water for the North Fork has been exposed to the sunshine of Lake Clementine and over the dam. Quarry Road Trail is popular with all user groups and I find myself often

Field Number Fifteen is a 20-acre property in the Placerville area planted with approximately 11.5 acres of grapes. A variety of fruit trees, including apples, nectarines and figs, also grow on the grounds.
ield Number Fifteen, El Dorado County’s newest winery, has taken root at the former site of Chateau Rodin in Pleasant Valley and the doors are open for business. Having spent a lot of time in El Dorado County and Chateau Rodin, in particular, throughout the last 10 to 15 years, owner Kenyon Elliott has a long-standing a connection to the region and its wineries. Finding that the time was right, he and wife Liz took hold of their dream and christened the 20-acre vineyard and winery as their own. This year they bottled six wines to introduce to a thirsty public — a chardonnay from their own grapes and three rosé varieties, old vine zinfandel, a cabernet sauvignon and a barbera. Rounding out the line up with a traditional cabernet sauvignon and old vine zinfandel, the couple said the inaugural year is already off to a great start. The California Certified Organic Farmers certifies Field Number Fifteen’s grapes organic and they produce a number of their wines with those organic grapes. Kenyon said he has plans to produce fully organic wines in the future. Ready to try a glass or two? The tasting room is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Future plans for the winery are in the works. Kenyon will be clearing an acre of the land to plant hops and he said he hopes to start brewing beers as ■

Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference seeks youth interested in being a part of one (or more) project committees focused on improving the lives of those struggling in the community. Hands4Hope has year-long committees and seasonal committees — each targeting a specific area of need. Year-long committees meet evenings once or twice per month throughout the year to research, plan and carry out various projects within the committee’s designated area of need (homeless, children, etc.). Seasonal committees operate on a much more condensed timeline and have different goals, focusing on a specific event, such as the School Supply Drive. Currently all after-school committee meetings are held via Zoom, with some in-person sorting and planning. COVID-19 safety guidelines are always followed for in-person events. As restrictions ease, committee meetings will be held in-person with the option to join by Zoom.

Continued from B1
stopping to say hello to friends and neighbors along the way. At the 1.25-mile point of this wide, flat trail you come to a staging area where you can turn around. Several picnic tables and chemical toilets are located here along with some mining artifacts from days gone by. I prefer to walk up the small hill, past the ruins, past the switchbacks that lead to the climbing area and past the Hawver Mine entrance. Just past the split for the Western States Trail on the right, about 2 miles from the trailhead, look to your left for a small rock outcropping. If you look closely you will see the wear marks from climbing up these rocks that lead to an amazing view of
the Murders Bar Rapids. Be careful. There is a steep drop off on the other side. Early morning is my favorite time as I can watch the sun light the canyon. There is room for two at this unique spot — a great place to pop the question. You can continue the trail out to Maine Bar 5.5miles out. Many other trails take off from here. To get to the Quarry Road Trail take Highway 49 into the confluence and over the Highway 49 bridge, which crosses the American River just below the confluence. Just over the bridge on the left is the entrance to the parking area. There is a $10 State Park fee for day use. One of the great things
about this old mining road is that it is now ADA accessible. Mary West is author of the book series “Day Hiker – Gold Country Trail Guide I, II and III” (Available on Amazon). The books are a collection of the Day Hiker columns, in which West shares her longtime love of the outdoors, favorite hikes in Northern California’s gold country and beyond. West was the recipient of the 2017 and 2019 CRAFT Award for Best Outdoor Column and the 2020 Craft Award for her second book in the Day Hiker series by the Outdoor Writers of California.

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.

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.
