Mosquito Bridge replacement nears construction could start by June but potential nesting birds at the project site could push the groundbreaking another month. County staff will evaluate if this is the case but the project will start as soon as possible, according to Martinez. “I am extremely happy for the community of Swansboro to finally get the bridge they’ve wanted for so long and that we as the Department of Transportation were able to come through for them,” Martinez said. The county awarded

$93 million project biggest in county history

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The long-anticipated Mosquito Bridge replacement project is close to breaking ground. El Dorado County Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez told the Mountain Democrat construction is nearly set to begin this summer. Martinez said he hoped

the Mosquito Bridge replacement project to Shimmick Construction Company May 17, the nation’s 14th largest bridge contractor. Shimmick previously worked on improving Forebay Dam for the El Dorado Irrigation District in 2017. With an expected cost of more than $93 million and about a three-year construction timeline, Martinez told the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors at a Tuesday meeting the project would be the largest capital improvement project ■

Replacement of the Mt. Murphy Road Bridge in Coloma could begin in 2024.

Plans for new Mt. Murphy Bridge move forward Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Construction of a new Mt. Murphy Road Bridge could begin as soon as 2024. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors approved the project's final environmental impact review May 17. Built in 1915 the bridge links Highway 49 and Mt. Murphy Road over the South Fork of the American River in Coloma. Jon Balzer with the El Dorado County Department of Transportation told the board Tuesday that the Mt. Murphy Road Bridge is one of the lowest-rated bridges PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

for safety of all countymaintained bridges. After doing an analysis on the bridge in 2014 it was determined that the bridge has functional and structural deficiencies. All structural components of the bridge would need replacing, essentially replacing the entire bridge, explained Balzer. Balzer gave details of the project and answered questions from supervisors regarding pedestrian safety. The proposed project would utilize truss tower portals with cables, have similar wood texturing and color tones and imitate the piers of the old bridge for a "historical" yet modern look for the bridge, Balzer said. The project will include a wooden walkway on the bridge and upgraded pedestrian crosswalk leading to the bridge for safety. When District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo asked what led the department to choose the design of the bridge, Department of Transportation ■

Laura Belle Brewer

Aug. 25, 1976 - Feb. 17, 2022

Laura Belle Brewer, 45, of Placerville passed away suddenly Feb. 17 after a scuba diving accident in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Laura was born Aug. 25, 1976 to her beloved mother and father Michele (Gasboro) Brewer and John Brewer in Santa Cruz, Calif. Laura, her brother Hickory Brewer and their parents moved to Grizzly Flat when Laura was a small child. The family loved the laid back lifestyle and soon became best friends to many in the small community. Laura was a shy little girl often seen peeking up at you while clinging to her mother’s leg. She soon grew out of her shyness and became an accomplished BMX bike rider as well as a water sports enthusiast. She attended Pioneer School in Somerset and Herbert Green Middle School when the family moved to Placerville. Laura was raised in a blended family and lived part time with her mother Michele; stepfather Mark Barnes; brother Hickory and stepsister Nicole Barnes. She and her brother also spent part time with their father John Brewer; stepmother Deanne (Pasquale) Brewer and stepbrother Jason Jacobs. Laura attended Ponderosa High School for a short time then moved to Hawaii with her brother and disabled father. She graduated from high school in Hawaii and remained there, helping care for her father who passed away in 1993. Laura moved back to Placerville but her love for Hawaii took her back and forth several times through the years. She married Josh Lewis in South Lake Tahoe and gave birth to two sons; Keoni, 24, and Aidan 21. Through the years Laura grew especially close to her stepdad Mark and stepsister Nicole. In 2011 Nicole passed away suddenly leaving behind Laura’s only nephew Dameon Barnes, now 24. She also leaves behind her uncle Marshall Brewer; his wife Linda Brewer; several cousins and numerous close friends. After graduating from Carrington College Laura became a dental hygienist. At the time of her death she was working with Dr. Davidson at Above the Gate Dentistry. As well as excelling at her career Laura enjoyed many hobbies. She was a gourmet cook, an avid gardener and she loved the outdoors. Even though she cherished her time with family and friends she often spent time alone, camping, hiking and traveling. Her truck, her tent and her dog was all she needed for a good time. We all miss you Laura, your kindness, your tremendous generosity and your beautiful smile. Rest in peace Laura Belle, you are so loved and in our hearts forever. Laura left us with this final post, “Life is about the journey, not the destination. Roll down the windows, turn up the music, and enjoy the ride.” And she did ... Laura’s family thanks you for respecting their privacy at this very difficult time. A special thank you to Laura’s stepbrother Jason for his relentless support and love for his sister. Services will be June 2 at 1 p.m. at Green Valley Church at 3500 Missouri Flat Road in Placerville.

Milton Carl Kammerer was born in Sacramento, Calif., Nov. 6, 1934 and was raised on a farm on the outskirts of Elk Grove, Calif., along with his two older brothers and a younger sister. After graduating from Elk Grove High School, he attended the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (BIOLA) where he studied missionary medicine and received a degree as a licensed vocational nurse. He also met the love of his life, Malinda June Stolfus from Kansas at BIOLA, whom he married in 1957. Following graduation Milton and Malinda thought the Lord was calling them to be in foreign missions. A BIOLA classmate had an opportunity for them to serve in a small church in Calpella, Calif. So Milton and Malinda accepted the call to serve the Lord as minister for the Calpella Community Church because it was a very small church, Milton was blessed to work at the state hospital that was close by in Ukiah, Calif. Having the weekend off was perfect, allowing him to serve the Lord and be with his family. Milton, Malinda and their four children moved to River Pines, Calif., in 1971, where the family has resided since then. Milton was the minister of River Pines Bible Church for many years and briefly at Pioneer Bible Church. While he was Pastor of River Pines Bible Church and briefly at Pioneer Bible Church, he worked at the state hospital in Stockton, Calif. He worked nights so he could spend time with his family and be able to minister to the congregations in the two churches as well as the community. After retirement from pastoring at River Pines Bible Church, he made Pioneer Bible Church his home church serving as an elder, teacher, AWANA leader and many other roles one of which was a church greeter for many years. Milton was a wonderful father to four children; Kathleen, Dorothy, Steven and Charles; a special and loving grandfather to three girls Malinda, Brianna and Christy and a special and loving greatgrandfather to five great-grandchildren Matthew, Leiabelle, Janylle, Karpenter and Ariel. Milton passed suddenly and unexpectedly from this world to life eternal to be with his Lord and Savior in Heaven and be with his beloved wife Malinda, May 14 at 87 years of age — just seven months after the passing of his wife Malinda of 64 years. He was seen by people the same week greeting and interacting as usual at the senior lunch (Isaiah 40 monthly potluck) and AWANA Awards Night dinner just one and two days before. Milton was vibrant and very active in his church and community until his unexpected passing. Milton is remembered for his wonderful smile, his love of God and service to God and the community, his hard work, love for his family and his kindness, warmth and generosity. Milton lived a full and happy life serving the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but will be missed by all who were blessed to have met or known him.

Three arraigned in insurance fraud case News release Three people associated with Archer Building Company based in El Dorado Hills — Troy Williams, 49, of Angels Camp, Nanci Morman, 68, of Somerset and John Allison, 63, of Rocklin — were arraigned Monday on multiple felony counts of insurance fraud. A joint investigation with the California Department of Insurance and the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office revealed the defendants allegedly conspired together to illegally lower their company’s workers’ compensation insurance premiums and defraud the State Compensation Insurance Fund of more than $125,000, according to a news release from the California Department of Insurance. Williams has owned and operated a framing business called Archer Building Company since 2001, which reported carpentry payroll between 2013-16; however, in 2016 the company’s work-related claims costs increased, which would increase its worker’s compensation insurance rates, states the news release.

The joint investigation found that Archer Building Company employee Allison created another business, Allison Development. Between 201620, investigators say Archer Building Company diverted its carpentry payroll to Allison Development in order to avoid paying accurate workers’ compensation insurance premiums. In 2020 Allison Development’s workers’ compensation policy was canceled and the employees transferred back to Archer Building Company. The investigation found Archer Building Company and Allison Development attempted to defraud the state fund of $127,795 by not paying the correct amount of premium, according to the news release. It was also revealed that Morman was the bookkeeper and point of contact for insurance audits for both companies. On March 10 Williams and Morman self-surrendered at the El Dorado County Jail. Allison self-surrendered March 14. They are scheduled to return to court on May 26. The El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting this case.

Help plant tree seedlings News release Want to help the forest heal from the Caldor Fire’s destruction?

Pumping up prices

he price of gas keeps rising. “The reason for that is because of Putin’s war,” said President Joe Biden. But that’s impossible. Most of the price rise came before Putin attacked Ukraine. So some politicians simply blame “corporate JOHN STOSSEL greed.” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse accuses the oil industry of collecting “excess profit.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren even introduced a bill to ban “price gouging.” This is just economic ignorance, as my new video explains. “If big oil could raise prices anytime they wanted and get away with it, then why were they so cheap in 2020, 2019, 2018?” asks the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Ben Lieberman in the video. Lieberman points out that companies are Stopping pipelines always greedy.

That leads Prices change because of to more oil spills. supply and demand. During the COVID19 pandemic, fewer people drove and demand for gasoline dropped. So did its price. Oil drillers then did less drilling. Now demand is up because people are driving again. But it takes time for producers to adjust. “It takes months, not days, for a company to increase production,” Biden has said. I’m relieved that the president understands that, but he ignores how his own policies reduce production and raise the price of gas. He didn’t mention that when he canceled a long-planned sale of offshore oil rights last week. Activists want Biden to also kill a pipeline that would bring oil from Canada to Wisconsin. They’ve already delayed it five years. They delayed the Keystone Pipeline for 16 years, until Biden killed it altogether. This is so dumb. Stopping pipelines doesn’t even help the environment. Oil still gets shipped, but by truck, train and barge. That leads to more oil spills. At least one congressman is as foolish as the activists. Last fall, at a congressional hearing titled Exposing Big Oil’s Disinformation Campaign to Prevent Climate Action, grandstanding California Rep. Ro Khanna scolded oil executives for producing too much oil. “Are you embarrassed as an American company that your production is going up?” Khanna said to Chevron CEO Michael Wirth. “Demand for energy is going up in the world,” ■

Letters to the Editor Angry white men EDITOR: eople want to portray conservatives as being a bunch of angry white guys who hate everyone else in this country. We are the target of the political left to be demonized as racist and bigots. It’s hard to defend a negative like when did you stop beating your wife scenario. So, instead, explain to me if conservatives hate gay people so much why are there so many gay conservative talk show hosts? As far as being racist goes, why are there so many Black conservatives on the radio and a plethora of female conservatives, in fact quite a few Black female talk show hosts? These people are paid a lot of money for their shows. So I have to ask why conservatives support these people if they don’t love and respect them? It also explains why there are so few progressive talk show hosts — perhaps because they actually don’t like each or what they have to say to each other all that much. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

EID rate-setting discrepancies EDITOR: n April 11 directors of the El Dorado Irrigation District approved $80 million in new debt to pay down unfunded pension liabilities for current and past employees. EID’s management trumpeted the new debt as a “cost savings” to the district’s rate payers. And, as usual, the EID board accepted management’s summary representation and submissively voted unanimously to approve the new debt. But in the bond documents required to secure the new debt, senior management was required to produce actual and projected financial information for the 10 years, 2016-2025. That 10-year financial information revealed millions of dollars of discrepancies in costs and revenues used to set the district’s 2021-25 rates. Buried in management’s April 11 financial projections is proof that the district’s potable water and sewer rates are millions of dollars higher than cost justified. In contrast, the district’s recycled water rates, which average 60% lower than EID’s potable water rates, are millions of dollars less than costs.

Rather than correct their rate-setting overcharges and undercharges to actual costs, EID management again intends to implement across-the-board rate increases on Jan. 1, 2023. If the EID board wishes to represent the district’s 43,000 ratepayers fairly and equitably, they should immediately direct management to prepare a corrected cost of services analysis and adjust rates down and up accordingly. Absent corrective board direction to management, EID ratepayers in two EID political divisions alternatively will have a chance to weigh in this November as Directors Lori Anzini and Pat Dwyer are up for reelection.

Homeless camps EDITOR: have lived in El Dorado County for over 40 years. I am active and involved in the local community and I love this truly beautiful place we get to call home. I am appalled by the growing homeless population that has afflicted our county, particularly in the city of Placerville. Our county Board of Supervisors has consistently stood against damaging policies coming out of Sacramento. Unfortunately, our elected Board of Supervisors by a 4-1 vote (District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo voting against) voted to declare a “homeless shelter crisis” in our county under the provisions of AB 2553. This legislation allows county staff and our elected board to circumvent the voter-approved El Dorado County General Plan and land use policies. If left unchecked, homeless camps will be allowed to pop up all over the county under the “housing first” movement. This means that the homeless population will be housed using taxpayers dollars, while still being able to use drugs and alcohol. This will all be supported by your tax dollars, with onerous strings attached through state and federal grants. To add insult to injury, a local organization started in 2019, Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition, has been delivering free needles, pipes, razor blades, condoms, etc., to homeless camps throughout our county. This is paid for using your tax dollars. This

over those of consumers and employees. Yet the evidence suggests that both workers and consumers get better results in arbitration than in court. Take a recent analysis conducted by ndp | analytics of employment disputes between 2014 and 2021. In cases where arbitrators decided on the merits, employees prevailed nearly 38% of the time. By comparison, they won just 11% of the time when their cases were heard in a courtroom. What’s more, the average award for employees in arbitration during that period was around $444,000 — compared to an average award of about $408,000 in court. A similar pattern exists for disputes involving consumers. Between 2014 and 2021, consumers prevailed in almost 42% of arbitration cases they initiated. For court cases, that figure was about 29%. Arbitration proceedings also tend to be less complicated than litigation. Often, individuals in arbitration don’t need to pay a lawyer to state their

case persuasively and accurately. And when a lawyer is necessary, the fees involved tend to be much lower. Supporters of the FAIR Act insist that it’s not a ban on arbitration, just on agreements that commit parties to this form of alternate dispute resolution in advance of a dispute. But that’s a distinction without a difference. Once a dispute arises, the prospects for arbitration shrink to near-zero. Prohibiting pre-dispute agreements would effectively end arbitration altogether. The idea that Americans need protection from arbitration agreements couldn’t be farther from the truth. If employees and consumers need protection, it’s from lawmakers and lawyers looking to dismantle this institution through bills like the erroneously named FAIR Act. That’s what’s unfair. Harold Kim is the chief legal officer and executive vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and president of its Institute for Legal Reform. This piece originally ran in RealClearPolicy.

Sparks off the bats lead to playoff win Thomas Frey Staff writer With Ponderosa’s ace in the circle and a lineup chock full of hitters with high averages, the Bruins overcame an early 4-0 deficit to win their first-round game 12-4 over Del Campo in the Division III Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. The Bruins were at home Tuesday with junior Ana Niles pitching. Niles was coming off a spectacular regular season where she went 14-1 with a 0.84 earned run average while striking out 1.19 batters per inning. But in the first two innings Del Campo got consecutive hits and had four runners cross the plate.

“I was like 4-0? That’s nothing. We can get that easy,” said Ponderosa senior shortstop Emilia Miehe. “I had no doubts. I was so confident.” The Bruins trailed 4-0 when Miehe and her .386 batting average led off the second inning. In her last game May 11 she went 3-for-3 with 5 RBIs and a home run in a win over Placer. As the pitch sped toward the plate, Miehe put a big swing on the ball, making contact and started to sprint the bases. The ball just kept going and going as the Del Campo center fielder ran into the wall, Miehe’s hit sailing over her head for a home run. Ponderosa’s dugout ■

John Padjen, who passed away in December. It was Padjen’s idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at both Placerville Speedway and Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway. “(He) always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues,” said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. “It’s a perfect event to remember my dad at.” In the early 1980s John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program

to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans. Tackling the high-banked quartermile this Saturday will be the winged 360 sprint cars, limited late models, pure stocks and dwarf cars. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg, Diamond Springs’ Dan Jinkerson and Oakley’s Nick Baldwin sit atop the sprint car, late model and pure stock standings, respectively, going into the final point race until June 25. John Padjen Kids Bike Night marks the second appearance of the season for the colorful coupes of the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. Colfax driver Ben Wiesz captured win on the first visit April 30. The pit gate will open at noon, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, qualifying and racing will follow.

Conditions prompt Cal Fire to suspend burning

comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly

News release The increasing fire danger due to continued drought and hotter, drier conditions in the region has prompted Cal Fire to suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within Alpine, Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, officials announced Thursday morning. The suspension takes effect at midnight Monday, May 23, and bans all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as

branches and leaves. “We are experiencing drought conditions and extreme fire weather much earlier than usual for this time of year,” said Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit Chief Mike Blankenheim. “Although debris burning is useful to reduce flammable vegetation, the conditions in the Amador-El Dorado Unit have reached the point where debris burning poses an unacceptable risk of starting a wildfire.” Tips to prepare homes and property:

• Clear all dead and or dying vegetation 100 feet from around all structures. • Landscape with fireresistant plants and nonflammable ground cover. • Find alternative ways to dispose of landscape debris like chipping or hauling it to a biomass energy or green waste facility. For more information on how to create defensible space, how to be prepared for wildfires, as well as tips to prevent wildfires, visitReadyForWildfire. org.

Junior Whitney Montoya battled through a long third inning at-bat before getting a leadoff single. She scored her 21st run of the season when the next better, Ana Niles, belted a home run over the center field wall. “I don’t think we would have came back in that inning if Whitney hadn’t gotten on base first,” Niles said.

and cheering section erupted. “That brought a lot of energy back into the dugout,” Niles said. “We were a little bit down and kind of stressed out. As soon as Emilia hit that ball, we could just feel all the stress and everything leave our shoulders.” Niles and her teammates mobbed Miehe at the plate as yells of pride came from the Bruins. The Bruins would get one more run that inning. Senior catcher Samantha Ream came up to the plate and got her first hit of the afternoon. The Bruins used a substitution and for the first time this season junior Tatum Silva ran to first. Silva — full of her trademark energy — was the team’s leading hitter as a sophomore last year but she has missed her entire junior year to injury. She can’t hit yet, but she can run the base paths. Silva immediately flashed her speed and stole second in a cloud of dust. Two batters later freshman Brooklynn Nordquist knocked her in to cut the deficit in half. Silva finished the game scoring three runs as a pinchrunner. Niles was nearly perfect in the circle the remaining five innings. She didn’t allow another run, struck out her 100th batter of the season and finished with 10 Ks to earn her 15th win of the season. “(Niles) did so great,” Ream said. “She pulled it together like she always does.” Trailing 4-2 in the third, junior left fielder Whitney Montoya stepped up to the plate with Niles on deck. The .441 hitter fought through a long at-bat before getting on base with a single. With Montoya on and zero outs, Niles came up. “As soon as I saw it come out of her hand I just kind of knew,” Niles said. She took a swing, and just like in Miehe’s home run, the center fielder ran into the wall while the ball soared over the fence to tie the game up.

Montoya scored her 20th run of the season before joining her teammates who were already standing at home waiting to celebrate. “I don’t think we would have come back in that inning if Whitney wouldn’t have gotten on base first,” Niles said. Sophomore second baseman Brynn Escobar said getting hits is contagious in the Ponderosa lineup. “It’s just a domino effect from one hitter to another,” Escobar said. With the game tied the Bruins kept their feet on the gas and Miehe, junior Gabby Camina and Ream loaded up the bases. Nordquist and Payton Oas each drove in a run to make it 6-4 before Escobar came up to the plate. The sophomore came into the game hitting .486 with 19 RBIs and waited patiently for the right pitch. She made solid contact with the ball and drove in two Bruins’ baserunners to take an 8-4 lead and cap off a 6-run inning. “That inning was so much fun,” said Ream, who got on base three times in the game. “The energy was so great in the dugout, we were all hyped.” Not only was Ream getting on base with ease, but her signal calling behind the plate was superb. “Sam has been on fire all season. It’s been insane,” Miehe said of her fellow senior. “She’s caught almost every single inning and she’s never let us down.” Ream and Camina each drove in a run in the fourth before Nordquist hit a 2-RBI double in the sixth to score the final runs in the 12-4 win. “They were incredible,” said Ponderosa head coach Dwayne Brekke. “We’ve been on quite a roll and the girls are just playing with confidence. Even being down early they were in the dugout saying ‘We still have this. This is ours.’” The Bruins were scheduled to play their second-round game Thursday afternoon against Vista del Lago.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis

June 4

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is said that what belongs to you will find you. But what of the magnetization of strange things? If they find you, does it mean they belong to you? It’s a question that only you can answer today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). After you resolve a problem, you’ll get the idea that maybe this is an opportunity. The real gift here is your creative approach to the new rules to prevent future mishaps. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What happened back there wasn’t right. In many ways you’ve moved on, but there’s still a reckoning you long for. Does it ease your mind slightly to know that eventually you will have it? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t let a lack of preparation stop you from jumping in and doing your best with whatever you have. It’s plenty -- much more than is necessary to get this job done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some say “superficial” and others say “aesthetically driven.” Caring how things look and altering them according to taste is an age-old practice that’s been leveraged as influence even before the beginning of civilization. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may not realize how you’re training the world to treat you. Your system is so familiar to you that you can’t see it. A friend will provide contrast and new insight to help you understand your situation better.

Continued from A6

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The far-out ideas are worth entertaining today, as things have gotten too stuck for the small nudges of innovation to make a difference. A forceful kick to the imagination will shift the paradigm. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The people around you will have lively opinions, many worth hearing, but not all and not all now. Find some space of your own so you can tune into your own wisdom. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love makes the world seem more exciting, dramatic, colorful and entertaining. You may not be in love with one particular person but the playful mood that prevails makes you feel in love with life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Money, responsibility and children are the things couples argue about the most. With just a little bit of love and luck you will leap over cosmic communication barriers and come to a comprehensive understanding. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not ready to take on the problem yet, except in the realm of thought. These are the crucial stages! Your strategic brainstorms will be nothing short of brilliant. These are inspired days. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). How should you approach the task? If you overthink, you’ll be paralyzed with options, and if you underthink you will take action that has little chance of working. Success comes somewhere in the middle.

Mt. Murphy Bridge

Continued from A1

Director Rafael Martinez explained that the on-alignment alternative design chosen out of nine had the least amount of impact when eminent domain and cultural aspects were considered. On-alignment basically means in the same footprint as the current bridge. The Department of Transportation announced Jan. 10 the start of a 45-day public review of a draft environmental impact report for the Mt. Murphy Road Bridge. Air quality, noise, wildfire, water and biological resources, and hazardous materials, were among impacts considered during the environmental impact review. Public comments on the EIR expressed a need for road improvements in the area and concerns regarding neighboring activities. Addressing some of the public's concerns, Board Chair and District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin recognized the need for a safe bridge but acknowledged that closing the bridge impacts residents. In fall 2021 the bridge was shut down for repairs after a driver suspected of DUI crashed into its truss. Repairs took about two weeks, sending residents on the east side of the bridge on alternate routes to get to Placerville and extending their commute by nearly triple the time. Large RVs departing from Coloma Resort also on the east side of the bridge had to navigate the narrow rural roads used as an alternate route. Parlin shared reservations on a sidewalk proposed for the south side of the bridge, citing the popularity of the bridge for photoshoots. "People go down there for photos specifically," Parlin said. "I hope we

Windows and Patio Doors! BUY ONE, GET ONE

took that into account, not creating another safety hazard. Cars will be going faster with two lanes." District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl also had concerns about vehicles speeding down the bridge, potentially endangering pedestrians. "Common sense says when you come to a bridge you slow down but a lot of these people are going to be visitors and tourists," Hidahl said. Balzer said the department is looking into features that will help slow down cars to ensure pedestrian safety, including extra signage. "I'm not so concerned about the speeding. I'm more concerned about the distracted driver," Martinez said. "Fortunately enough we have a raised pedestrian median so pedestrians have a safe zone from any distracted driver that might hit that curb then bounce back." Other comments from public review considered how Coloma Resort would be effected, which Parlin admitted could be a problem. "If we are improving the bridge but yet they still have issues with their gate and people waiting to get in and backing up onto our bridge, how are we going to address that?" Parlin questioned. Balzer said the conditions of the new bridge will better the resort's situation and added that resort management is looking into solutions as well. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve of the project's EIR, paving the way for the project's final design and acquiring right-of-way. The new Mt. Murphy Road Bridge will be fully funded by the Federal Highway Bridge Program. A 2019 rough estimate of construction costs on the project was $15 million.

“The worst situation you can get into is having construction pause while money is accumulating.” Martinez responded that regarding any capital improvement projects and risk for change orders, especially in civil engineering, there are unknowns when a project starts vegetation removal and gets into the foundation. He said the Department of Transportation is still “hoping for the best but planning for the worst.” 275119 “We are fortunate that we have a very good contracting company that has worked in these types of projects and they know exactly what to expect,” Martinez said. “We already started speaking to the consultant and other construction management teams who are working with us on the project to try and weed out any potential foreseeable conflicts or changes from our perspective.” Supervisors were excited to hear the news that the project will start soon with the approved construction bid. “This has been a long time coming and it will be great for the community out there with easier access across the bridge,” said District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo. “I’ve driven that road many times and there’s hardly any room to even fit my dually.” Martinez confirmed to the board that broadband conduits will be implemented in the project. Board Chair and District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin suggested daily updates to the surrounding communities on roads affected by closures and heavy equipment transportation. “This is going to be great when it is done but the next three years are going to be so difficult with this construction, the traffic and the closures in addition to the closures that occur already,” Parlin said. Martinez said any closures will be announced through the county’s Department of Transportation Mosquito Bridge website at edcgov.us/ mosquitobridge.

in county history. “This is a culmination of almost a decade worth of work coming here today to provide the community and this county a wonderful project that will last in perpetuity,” Martinez told the board. Mosquito Bridge has connected the Placerville and Mosquito communities since 1867 and was rebuilt in 1939. The new ridgetop-to-ridgetop bridge will cross over the historical bridge above the South Fork of the American River. When the new bridge is in place the historical bridge will remain for pedestrian and cyclist use. The Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve of the bid to Shimmick after Department of Transportation staff determined the construction company to be the “lowest responsive and responsible bidder”. While the county will initially have to front the bill, the money spent will be reimbursed fully through the Highway Bridge Program, a federal public highway replacement program. Martinez told the board his department will be working to obtain larger Highway Bridge Program reimbursement allocations so the amount of reserves the county will have to put up ahead of time will not jeopardize other county operations. The maximum reimbursement payments the program awards is $20 million per year but increasing costs of construction could exceed what the county gets back, according to Martinez. Martinez said annual or bi-annual updates will be provided to the board on the project’s construction. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl cautioned about change orders and delays in construction. “It is a huge project and I’ve seen projects with 10% to 20% overruns, which means they have to be extremely well managed from the front end and you need to have a good starting design,” Hidhal said.

Green Room Social Club founder/owner Jennifer Teie enjoys a respite on the entryway throne shortly after opening her downtown Placerville business last year.

The Green Room Social Club amps up Placerville’s music scene

Special to the Mountain Democrat

lacerville’s start-up The Green Room Social Club club, open to the public, celebrates its first year of filling the hills with music from some of the best local and national acts on tour. The social club on historical downtown Main Street offers small plates, craft beers and local wines paired with live shows Thursday through Monday, including dinner and late-night performances. In addition to the live scene, the music continues via livestream and archived shows on the virtual venue clubgreenroom. com and The Green Room Social Club YouTube channel. A free subscription to the channel and a $5 a month membership gives access to previous and upcoming shows. An additional small charge connects to live-streamed shows. The social club is the vision of Jennifer Teie, who opened her business in May 2021. With a background in real estate, construction and financial services, in addition to producing music festivals, she said she believed Placerville was ready for a scene combining the simple pleasures of small-town life, innovative food and sophisticated musical offerings. When the opportunity to purchase the building in downtown Placerville in 2020 became available, the plan fell into place. “Most would say the timing is bad; however, I believe there’s great learning and growth when investing in markets that are shaken to the core. There’s an opportunity to rebuild, redesign and reimagine industries and create what actually works instead of following the old way of doing,” she said. “I dreamed of creating a stage like this in my town for many years and The Green Room Social Club is a culmination of my vision, tenacity, along with many lessons and hands to help along the way.” Teie grew up in the area and knows what foothill locals know— people often drive hours to Lake Tahoe or the San Francisco Bay Area for a quality live music

experience. “It’s been a long time coming to have our own home for live music in our downtown Main Street district. El Dorado County has also become a growing destination location as our wineries, farms and rural living have become more popular over the past few decades.,” she said. Just about every style of music takes the Green Room stage. “I enjoy almost every type of music genre, especially if it’s being performed live,” Teie said. “When I was a teen, I would listen to Mozart and Beethoven. As my musical tastes developed, my now husband introduced me to the live recordings of the Grateful Dead and the festival scene, which resulted in a passion for the live music experience, community and culture of live music events. At GRSC we honor and book all genres that are conducive to our intimate and welcoming vibe.” Musicians include Joe Craven, Jackie Greene, Peter Wilson, Red’s Blues, Mick Martin, Lantz Lazwell and the Vibe Tribe

and others. Teie said she wanted to create “an inclusive and welcoming experience for guests, performers and our community. We hope the community will support the Social Club and live entertainment programs so that we become a sustainable long-term fixture on Main Street.” The Green Room Social Club opens at 4 p.m. Thursday through Monday.

I can remember it Gun: Maverick” is by director Joseph as clear as day even if it would work Kosinski (“Oblivion,” “Tron: Legacy”). best as a video game story from a This movie has no business being 20-year-old Sony Playstation game. this good and yet, like Tom Cruise It may not be the deepest story, but it defying age, it accomplished that exact absolutely justifies Maverick’s position mission. when the movie starts and where he The original “Top Gun” (1986) — the goes throughout the film. film that took a young Tom Cruise One thing important to remember from an up-and-coming actor in is that for all the traction Tom Cruise films like “The Outsiders” and “Risky got from the original film, it was still Business” to a bonafide superstar — an ensemble piece with the fellow pilot was a big hit and a fun guilty pleasure and instructors at the Top Gun school. for those of us that grew up in the ’80s “Top Gun: Maverick” does a great job and ’90s. As far as the plot goes, what in the casting department, filling its was there was pretty thin but let’s be positions with young, up-and-coming honest ... screw the plot! The movie (as well as a couple of established) was about fighter jets, hotshot pilots actors to represent the new era in and meeting that special someone who fighter pilots. Notable additions “takes your breath away.” Story didn’t include Monica Barbaro (callsign:

“Phoenix”), Glen Powell (callsign: “Hangman”) and, of course, what I consider the co-lead of the film, Miles Teller as Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, son of Maverick’s deceased best friend “Goose” from the original. The inclusion of the latter was what originally concerned me the most. A lot of films do legacy sequels with family members of the original’s characters with watered down results, but the story thread of “Rooster” and his relationship to Maverick is really the driving force for this story and is really the reason for its existence. Follow that up with casting a really good actor in Mr. Teller and you are starting to cook something fun. On the aerial footage front, I can’t stress enough for you to not wait for this to come to video or streaming. You have to see this in the biggest, loudest theater possible. It still blows my mind that Cruise and his fellow actors were actually in the fighter jets pulling 7-8 Gs (that’s 1,600 pounds of force). When you watch the film your brain knows when something like that is real versus something filmed on a green screen and layered with special FX. When we see the force pushing Cruise and company’s body against the chair of their cockpit it’s unmistakable the risk they are taking for their craft. It’s incredible. It also doesn’t hurt that

some of those aerial scenes were shot in Lake Tahoe. See if you can spot them. If I have one criticism of the film it’s not the nods to the original film and characters, but more of a couple moments that were so “on the nose” that it’s eye rolling. Example: A character sits down at a piano at a bar and starts belting out “Great Balls of Fire.” Yes, we get it, they did that in the first film. The film usually toes the line carefully between nostalgia and creating its own take on the material but moments like this are unnecessary and would have benefited from being left on the cutting room floor. “Top Gun: Maverick” was a sequel I never thought would be made, nor was it needed, but it was absolutely one of the best times I have had at the theater in a long time. It pushes the right nostalgia buttons while also taking the original formula and perfecting it. I was smiling from the opening logos. It’s the perfect way to start the summer movie season. Joshua B.

Suzy Bogguss to perform at The Center for the Arts News release

he Center for the Arts welcomes Grammy awardwinning and platinum selling artist Suzy Bogguss to its Marisa Funk Theater May 25. Bogguss is one to chase the muse wherever it may lead, as she has covered country, swing, jazz, folk, Americana and roots music with style and grace. During the creative explosion of the ’90s golden days of country music, Bogguss scored a string of Top 10 singles with country radio staples like “Outbound Plane,” “Drive South,” “Hey Cinderella,” “Letting Go” and “Aces” and her 1991 album of that name was certified platinum. In addition, she scored a trio of gold albums and notched more than 3 million sales. In the fall of 2016 she released “Aces Redux,” a re-recording of her platinum selling album to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original release and with fresh arrangements and her signature sparkling vocals that highlights who she is as an artist today. Bogguss’ 2015 album “Lucky” is a heartfelt homage to the songwriting

Country legend Suzy Bogguss pays tribute to Merle Haggard and offers her original music. See her live May 25 in Grass Valley. of Merle Haggard who is “a hell of a storyteller,” she said. “When I hear his songs, I feel like I’m listening in on someone’s life.” On “Lucky,” Bogguss does more than just listen — the CMA, ACM and Grammy Award-winning singer makes the country rebel’s compositions her own, reinterpreting classics like “The Bottle Let Me Down,” “Silver Wings” and “Today

I Started Loving You Again” from a female point of view. Some may recall she kicked off her career with the release of the Illinois native’s 1989 major label debut, “Somewhere Between,” named after one of Haggard’s early songs. With “Lucky,” Bogguss dove deeper into Haggard’s catalog, taking care to hold on to that original vision of finding songs that resonated with

her, not just pulling out and recycling the hits. “Merle is one of the most masculine songwriters I’ve ever heard and I’ve been watching boys cover his music for years. I just thought, ‘Why couldn’t a girl do this?’” Bogguss explained. Turns out, a woman can — especially if that woman is Bogguss, one of country music’s most pristine and evocative vocalists. Her live performance, which includes her hits and choice material from her critically acclaimed albums, has been lauded by fans and critics as “a show not to miss.” Bogguss’ appeal has never wavered and her fan base continues to grow with constant touring around the globe. She truly is an artist that knows no boundaries and one who always leaves everyone wondering what she’ll do next. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Center for the Arts’ Marisa Funk Theater, 314 West Main St. in Grass Valley.

The audience will have a chance to meet the winners and ask them questions about the plays and their writing processes. In 2021 all three playwrights were thrilled to attend the show. Susan Boulanger’s “Out, Damn COVID Audition” won for its light-hearted look at friendship after the pandemic. “Big Top Love” written by Nicole DeSalle won its insightful look at the motivations behind our dreams.

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.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: August 17, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: CLARA YANG Law Office of Clara Yang 2810 Coloma St., Ste.
