Residents continue to denounce golf course plan Sel Richard Staff writer El Dorado Hills residents persist in attempts to persuade county officials to reject Parker Development’s Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan that proposes building 1,000 homes on the old golf course along El Dorado Hills Boulevard. At a special El Dorado Hills Community Services District meeting last Thursday, more than 110 attendees had the pavilion overflowing
while almost 80 more viewed the proceedings virtually. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl was in attendance. As board member Noelle Mattock explained, “This is just us trying to gain information from the community as to what they really desire to share with the county.” Mattock opened the meeting with a brief history of the project that requires a county General Plan amendment to allow zoning to be changed from recreational
facilities-high intensity to medium- and highdensity residential for the now defunct executive golf course at the El Dorado Hills Boulevard and Serrano Parkway intersection. As Mattock outlined the project’s 10-year trajectory, she touched on the CSD’s attempt at acquiring the golf course parcel, labeling Parker Development as an unwilling seller. “It was never a true negotiation,” she declared, “just another bait and switch on this community.”
“$32 million,” revealed board member Sean Hansen. “That is the price tag if the rezoning passes for highest and best use.” Hansen proclaimed his hope for a denial of the rezone and the CSD’s subsequent return to acquisition negotiations. “We have enough rooftops,” opined board member Ben Paulsen. “We already have traffic issues. But we don’t have any industry. We need to appeal to community needs and not the developer’s wants.”
“During this entire process, there has been no change to the project that is substantive, nothing that recognizes community concerns. We’re struggling to find a benefit.” — John Davey, Area Planning Advisory Committee chair David Tyra, CSD legal counsel, outlined possible actions in the event an ordinance to adopt the development agreement is eventually approved, including challenging the ordinance via a referendum process. A petition protesting
its adoption could be submitted by the public within 30 days of final passage. Any litigation must commence within 90 days after approval of the ordinance. Area Planning Advisory Committee ■

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Chair Lori Parlin delivers the State of the County address to members of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce Wednesday, May 18, at the Cameron Park Country Club.
STATE OF THE COUNTY
Supervisor Parlin talks county crises, biomass site plans Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The topic of county emergencies took the lion’s share of El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Chair Lori Parlin’s State of the County address May 18 at Cameron Park Country Club. Parlin identified four recent crises the
county experienced and continues to deal with — the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, the declaration of a countywide homeless crisis allowing the county to take action on a temporary emergency shelter, the “Snowmageddon” storm that caused thousands to live for days without power in December 2021 and the ongoing impacts of the Caldor Fire. “All of these emergencies cause a strain on our county resources, yet we come together as a community and support one another and persevere,” Parlin said. Parlin commended county staff for assisting those impacted by the local emergencies while still performing their regular duties. “We have the hardest working staff I have ever seen in our county,” Parlin said.
“Government at all levels has realized we need to improve our forest management and a piece of that puzzle is having somewhere for the biomass to go.” — Lori Parlin, El Dorado County District 4 supervisor The county is suffering from staff shortages and vacancies just like the rest of the nation, Parlin stated during her speech. To help counter that Parlin announced the county is looking to increase wages to prevent people from looking for work elsewhere. “We’ve almost accomplished that goal, which we’ve been working on for several years, and we recently decided we need to get going faster on that. We are almost there,” Parlin said. Parlin reiterated some of the county’s actions taken to address wildfire threats, including the

creation of a wildfire resiliency working group, the Wildfire Resiliency Office, which has already applied for a $10 million grant to help residents with home hardening and defensible space. The group was formed in March by the Board of Supervisors. “There is hope that this effort will soon make insurance companies find our county a desirable place to write policies again,” Parlin explained. Parlin talked about the Caldor Fire devastation Grizzly Flat residents had to experience, many ■
Destroyed by the Caldor Fire, replacement of El Dorado Irrigation District’s Flumes 4, 5 and 6 came in under budget. Repairs to Flume 30 required a change order, increasing the cost slightly. Flume 30 and reclaiming 3.5 miles of road plus building 1,900 feet of new road was originally a two-year project bid at $8 million. To build it all in one year to replace a burned-out Flume 30 the project was redesigned from a trapezoidal concrete flume to a U-shaped canal with cellular concrete filling the uphill side of the canal. The U-shaped canal meant it could be placed closer to the hillside and void the expense of building a mechanically stabilized earth wall. Removal of hazardous waste from Flume 30 was included in Siblon Reid’s contract at a cost of $446,985. That included transporting it to a hazardous waste site in Nevada. Total cost of materials and labor for adding the lightweight foaming concrete was $165,000, but the district negotiated a $100,000 deduction for eliminating the mechanically stabilized wall. The original contract was $8,782,400. Change order additions and deductions brought the total bill for Flume 30 and associated roads to $9.055 million. That left $794,000 in contingency. The total contract change orders only increased 3%. Flume 30, which receives its water from the Mill-to-Bull Creek Tunnel, took 37,736 hours of work to flow water. Construction crews on site varied from five to 32 with 130 pieces of equipment. Flume 30 was watered up April 30. It took 170 days to reach that point. Along the way the construction crew dealt with a monsoon-like rainstorm in October and 3-4 feet of snow in December, with 7 inches of snow in April. To access Flume 30 Syblon Reid widened and graveled 3.5 miles of road and constructed 1,900 feet of new road. The El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors approved the change orders 4-0 May 23, with Director Pat Dwyer absent. Flume 4 proved to be the most challenging. After finding an old slide and some buried materials left over from PG&E, Syblon Reid crews were forced to dig down 30 feet below the 147-foot wooden flume the EID crew rebuilt. Total hours worked on Flumes 4, 5 and 6 were 45,554. There were 50 workers on site and 75 pieces of equipment. It took 194 days to water up. Additionally, Syblon Reid reclaimed 6 miles of roads. The expenditures to date are $12,859,774

of them uninsured. The chair encouraged everyone in the room to share a video created by the county to appeal to President Joe Biden to overturn the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s decision to deny Caldor Fire victims individual assistance, which is meant to greatly help victims of a major crisis. “He is the only person that can overturn that decision,” Parlin explained to the crowd. Gearing the speech to forest management, Parlin said the county recently hired a consultant to help guide the county in its biomass effort. Parlin announced a potential new project at Golden Sierra High School in Garden Valley, where biomass operations would take place on site. “It’s got all the right pieces coming together for a project that should be well received by the community and environmentalists,” Parlin said. “Honestly, it’s not a huge project. It’s the right size for the school district.” The biomass site would provide energy to the high school. Parlin said she expects there to be an official
announcement by summertime. She added that the county is looking into potential sites for a bigger project, which could take up to 10 years to get going. “We all know that forest management hasn’t been done too well,” Parlin said. “The pendulum has swung the other way. Government at all levels has realized we need to improve our forest management and a piece of that puzzle is having somewhere for the biomass to go. If you don’t have anywhere for it to go, what do you do with all of this stuff ?” Parlin told the audience about her supervisory boundary line getting larger during the county’s redistricting process due to increased growth on the West Slope, also noting that El Dorado Hills’ population increase and the Tahoe Basin’s population decrease created lopsided statistics on where most of the population resides. One suggestion that stemmed from community concerns was creating seven supervisorial districts so folks from Pollock Pines to the Tahoe Basin can feel better represented. Parlin shared a joke from District 5
Supervisor Sue Novasel, whose district oversees the Tahoe Basin, that Novasel’s district is so big she requires a helicopter. The board chair recommended the public get involved with the county Charter Review Committee to get engaged with the supervisorial redistricting process. Referencing the April 25 county budget meeting, Parlin explained to the crowd they may see a ballot measure in November 2022 to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax countywide. Parlin justified the increase, citing tourism impacts to county roads that extra funds collected from tourists would mitigate. “It will be up to the voters to decide on the TOT increase, so keep an eye on that,” Parlin said. “We are trying to get more money for road maintenance.” The Board of Supervisors will also have a budget hearing June 7, which Parlin told the audience to get involved in. She said budget information will be provided a week before the hearing. Parlin mentioned the start of the new

Mosquito Bridge project, which she said is 30 years in the making. The $93 million project will be fully funded through the federal Highway Bridge Program and is the biggest project in county history. Parlin also announced the county’s approval of a new design for the Mt. Murphy Road Bridge, a project also fully funded by the Highway Bridge Program, to be completed by 2024. “I hope that Mt. Murphy Bridge stays up long enough for that because it is really getting rickety and scary out there,” Parlin said. Parlin opened her speech by sharing her story of moving out of slow-paced El Dorado County in her 20s to a faster one in the Sacramento area before starting a family and returning. “Your perspective and experiences shape who you are and how you see things,” Parlin said before offering her perspective — everyone needs different places to live in different times of their lives. Parlin emphasized the importance of the character of the county and she said it is the will of the people to maintain its identity.

Fire safe council leadership sought in Pollock Pines Mountain Democrat staff Pollock Pines needs someone to head up a new fire safe council in the area. With the formation of the Camino Fire Safe Council, the Pollock Pines-Camino Fire Safe Council will dissolve after June 30, leaving Pollock Pines with a need for its own group. Previous leadership for Pollock Pines is also stepping away after being involved for eight years. “We all need to learn how to live compatibly with nature in our fireprone environment,” said Heather Campbell, chairperson for the
PPCFSC. “Forming a new Pollock Pines Fire Safe Council is essential to bringing the work of wildfire preparedness directly to the Pollock Pines community.” Community-based fire safe councils can apply for fuel reduction grants that mitigate the intensity of a wildfire when it burns through an area. The PPCFSC obtained nearly $1 million in Cal Fire grant funding to complete projects, guide homeowners in creating defensible space and host fire-wise public meetings. There are 27 fire safe councils throughout El Dorado County,
two of which are in communities within Pollock Pines. The Sierra Springs Regional Fire Safe Council, formed about six years ago, has been “hugely successful,” according to Campbell. The SSRFSC worked with the property owners association to find funding and reduce roadside and greenbelt vegetation. The fuels reduction project along with the property owners association’s communitywide defensible space enforcement aim to keep a fire on the ground without causing the extensive damage seen in Grizzly Flat.
In the two years since it formed, the Gold Ridge Forest Fire Safe Council has partnered with its property owners association to obtain federal grants. Working together they have secured funding through the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Forest Service Steven’s Grant to start masticating all greenbelts and create road clearance. For other areas of Pollock Pines, Campbell said someone needs to “step up” to form a new fire safe council “to continue to prepare residents well in advance of the next wildfire.”
Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts in EDH see fee adjustments Sel Richard Staff writer Preliminary engineers’ reports on the annual assessments for El Dorado Hills Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts were approved at this month’s EDH Community Services District Board of Directors meeting, bringing changes to yearly fees for some residents. Calculated by DTA Assessment Engineers, the assessments were distributed from the district’s operating budget. The staff report indicates that for fiscal year 2023, 10 LLADs are at maximum, nine are assessed lower than last year and six have modest increases. Four LLADs in particular were assessed significant increases — Francisco Oaks LLAD, Highland Hills 3 LLAD, North Commercial Boulevard LLAD and Carson Creek LLAD. The Francisco Oaks increase from $184 to $471 was due to muchneeded repairs to the asphalt trail along Francisco Drive. “The roots have lifted the asphalt so it just looks like a bunch of rumble strips,” clarified CSD Parks Superintendent Ryan Kukkola, referring
to them as tripping hazards. “Those areas are marked right now, but that doesn’t protect us from any type of liability issues.” The staff report deems this as a one-time increase with the fiscal year 2024 assessment anticipated to drop back down to fiscal year 2022 range. A bump from $771 to $1,142 is proposed for Highland Hills 3 LLAD to replenish deferred maintenance reserves needed to repair and replace a failing fence. Board member Heidi Hannaman floated the idea of giving the fence back to Highland Hills residents to which Loewen noted that a similar concept was previously suggested but rejected by Green Valley Hills residents. The North Commercial Boulevard LLAD assessment rose from $835 to $1,424 for unexpected repairs to an irrigation leak under El Dorado Hills Boulevard. In addition, the existing 19 street light poles lining El Dorado Hills Boulevard between the Highway 50 intersection and Serrano Parkway will be upgraded to LED lighting. This is expected to be a onetime increase as well. Carson Creek LLAD has a proposed increase
from $16 to $153 to re-align the assessment as full operation of Heritage Park commences. CSD General Manager Kevin Loewen also pointed out that corrections are forthcoming regarding an error in the number of streetlights in Bass Lake A and consistency of square footage in Bass Lake B brought to light by public comment submitted prior to the meeting. However, Hannaman took issue with one LLAD not highlighted. Personally invested in Windsor Point Park, she expressed concern with its assessment increase from $41.54 to $72.42. “Those residents were basically promised something around $50. That’s over $50,” she said. “These are major adjustments for families to have to make.” Loewen confirmed that the Windsor Point Park assessment is proposed at its maximum, citing the expense of planter beds. In addition, Kukkola explained that ongoing maintenance refurbishment and bark replacement has proven expensive. “The bottom line is 300 yards of bark is quite expensive over time,” he said, adding that its proximity to a
school causes it to suffer bouts of vandalism. “Yes, it’s a small park but it’s a highly used park.” The proposed assessments were approved in a 4-1 vote with Hannaman dissenting. A public hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. June 9 in the Norm Rowett Pavilion, 1021 Harvard Way in El Dorado Hills. Interested parties will have an opportunity to protest the report either in writing or orally. If the board subsequently determines that a majority protest does not exist and no modifications to the engineer’s report are necessary, the board may adopt the resolution and file the assessment roll with the El Dorado County Auditor-Controller’s Office. Fiscal year 2022-23 annual assessments are proposed in the following LLADs: Stonegate, Oak Tree, Oakridge, Green Valley Hills, La Cresta, Crescent Ridge, Lake Forest, Francisco Oaks, Marina Hills, Highland Hills Unit 3, Wild Oaks, Silva Valley, Bass Lake A & B, Creekside Greens, Roadway LLAD, Highland Hills Units ■

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS Most teeth whitening techniques use either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten teeth. While there are several at-home, over-the-counter teeth whitening options, these generally contain a lower percentage of peroxide, can take significantly longer than clinical treatments, and don’t produce as effective or long-lasting results as a professional treatment. Treatments supervised by a dental professional offer at-home options as well, in addition to in-clinic treatments. Custom-made whitening trays are fitted to your teeth, filled with peroxide-based gel, and can be applied at the clinic or in the comfort of your home. Other in-office options include peroxide gel application and power bleaching with a perox-
ide solution, both of which can be enhanced with LED light application. Teeth not looking their whitest? Smile not shining its brightest? Take care of your problem with a visit to our office. State-of-the-art dentistry and a dedicated professional dental team make us the ideal place to achieve optimum oral health. Let us be your gateway to a smile you will be glad to show.

California Matters
Will California voters approve sports betting?
E
arlier this year it seemed possible that California voters would face the bewildering civic task of choosing which of four competing measures to legalize sports wagering would prevail — if any. Now, however, it’s down to two and it DAN WALTERS could be just one by the time votes are cast in the November election — or maybe even none. About 30 states have some form of legal wagering on sports events, thanks to a 2018 Supreme Court decision overturning a federal ban on such bets. California, the biggest potential market, has lagged because of protracted wrangling over who could operate sports books. Indian tribes, which have a monopoly on casino gambling in California, longed to expand into sports wagering, but horse racing tracks and local cardrooms also wanted the action and so did the big online wagering corporations such as Fan Duel and Draft Kings. The issue knocked around the Legislature, without resolution, for several years as the competing interests jousted for position. Finally, a group of casino-owning tribes, led by Pechanga, qualified a ballot measure Four ballot that would require sports measures to bets to be placed personally inside casinos and at horse legalize sports tracks. wagering in The measure also took California were a shot at the tribes’ old enemies, the cardrooms, proposed, but by exposing them to some now it’s down lawsuits. to two and only In response, a coalition of cardrooms, aided by one might face local government officials, voters this year. floated a competing measure that would give them a piece of the action, but it failed to garner enough signatures. The Fan Duel/Draft Kings faction then weighed in with a measure allowing online betting and that, in turn, sparked a second coalition of three tribes, called Californians for Tribal Sovereignty and Safe Gaming, to offer their own online wagering measure. Its sponsors feared that if voters were given only a choice between Pechanga’s in-casino betting measure and the online wagers offered by Fan Duel, Draft Kings, et al., they’d opt for the latter, preferring to use their computers and smart phones rather than drive to one of the tribal casinos, which

Letters to the Editor The betrayal of justice for deputy Ishmael EDITOR:
W
hile the El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson is correct in his analysis of why the sentencing did not fit the crime, it is important to understand how structurally defective California’s system of justice is, how long it has been broken and who the actors are who put this failed system into motion and ensured its longevity. The principal actor, Jerry Brown, in his first term as governor, appointed California Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird in 1977. Her tenure was notable in that she set in motion the dismantling of capital punishment and struck down the “use a gun, go to jail” law. In 1986 she was removed from the court in a recall. But Jerry Brown also appointed William Newsom to the Court of Appeals where Judge Newsom ensured that the appellate court enforced his ideals of rehabilitative justice. Of course, one of Judge Newsom’s more notable decisions was to allow the Chowchilla bus kidnapers (that buried a bus load of children alive) to have parole from prison. Then there is the California Judges Association, founded in the mid 1960s, that serves as a bargaining unit (i.e. union) for California’s lower court judges (e.g. Superior Court). One of their primary missions is to defend against “unfair criticism” of judges. Last, but not least, is the 1976 California Determinate Sentencing Act, which acts as a rule book for judges to simply select an option mandated by the law — which is intended to provide “fairness” by some magical thinking that each criminal act has the same exact, cookie-cutter punishment. Determinate sentencing has become such a farce that criminals know exactly how much prison time (if any) they will serve before committing the crime. Combining these actors and the corresponding laws over the past 40 years that have been quietly put into place is how Judge Lueras can issue a
sentence that is neither just or comprehensible to law-abiding voters. MATT SILVEIRA Placerville
Think of your constituents EDITOR: recently read the article about declining population in California by Dan Walters. He skillfully avoided the two main reasons for the decline. 1. The high cost of living in California. We have the highest taxes in the nation — property taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, utility taxes, vehicle registration, etc. The list of what is taxed (mostly hidden) is endless. I was recently in Idaho and gas was $1 a gallon cheaper. Everyday food stuff was cheaper; milk $1 a gallon cheaper. Is this due to the cost of complying with California regulations? 2. Over-regulation. Building a house? The cost is over $100,000 before you put a shovel in the ground due to regulations. More companies are moving out of California than moving in. California has to pay companies to move here, using taxpayers’ money. I am of the opinion that our representatives in Sacramento only care about their constituents on election years. Their goal is to fund pet projects. They spend most of their time trying to find new things to tax or raise taxes. Prime example: constant attacks on Proposition 13. At 77 and a Vietnam veteran, Prop. 13 is the only thing that keeps me from being homeless. The other concern of those who govern us? Increasing regulations. Regulations, by their nature, increase the cost of doing business and living in a state. Regulations also cut down personal freedoms and make decisions for us. I only wish representatives would factor in the people when they make decisions. (I believe in fairytales too.) JOHN KIMBROUGH Placerville

widely and rapidly shared that their influence becomes so toxic. As whistleblower Frances Haugen’s testimony to the Senate earlier this year revealed, platforms like Facebook purposefully promote the most outrageous posts because outrage drives user engagement, engagement drives time spent on the platform and time on the platform translates into more advertising revenue. When the untruths and divisive content of the most outrageous posts are subsequently pushed out to millions, they find their way into public discourse. But don’t more moderate views soften the impact of extreme ones? Often not. Moderates have become afraid to speak out against the louder and angrier voices at both ends of the spectrum because, if they do, they themselves might come under attack. For example, if you’re not comfortable with the idea that every negative aspect in a Black American’s life must be caused by racism, you may be called a racist — by the far left. And if you don’t at least suspect that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, you may be called a traitor — by the far right. Plus, who even wants to engage in the nastiness the “public square” of online discussion has become?
The original goal of online platforms was about connecting people. Now, says Haidt, it’s about performing and the most rageinducing “performances” are the ones that “win”— and push people apart in the process. These platforms encourage us to exaggerate and even lie and to see the absolute worst in the people we disagree with. On Bari Weiss’ “Honestly” podcast, Haidt said he believes the mechanisms of social media “make us unfit for democracy.” How? Online platforms make discourse nearly instantaneous, whereas the Framers of the Constitution knew democracy depends on the collective judgment of the people — a judgment that works best in a thoughtful, deliberate, slow-moving system. Democracy can actually be crippled by what the Founders called “unruly passions,” or what Haidt calls “the twitchy and explosive spread of anger” that social media encourages and rewards. Online, people are guided “not just by their true preferences,” he writes in his article, “but by their past experiences of reward and punishment, and their prediction of how others [will] react to each new action.” Thus “dishonesty and mob

Sharing victory lane with Henry during the night were Dan Jinkerson in the limited late models, Jason Poppert with the pure stocks and Ben Wiesz with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. A total of 73 cars filled the pits to help honor the late great Promoter John Padjen. The 25-lap winged 360 sprint car finale began with Placerville’s Shane Hopkins putting his No. 21 out front. Hopkins held the point until getting tripped up on the cushion in turn two, which allowed the No. 01 of Kalib Henry to pounce and snag the lead heading down the back stretch. Henry spent the rest of the distance having his way with things out front before crossing the checkered for his sixth career winged 360 victory at Placerville Speedway. With the triumph Henry tied his father Mike, along with Mason Moore and Bryan Bullard for 24thon the all-time win list. Hopkins continued his ultra-consistent year by finishing in the runner-up spot, marking his third podium in five winged 360 sprint car events. Roseville’s Jodie Robinson also had a fine run in the feature to cross the stripe in third after getting by both Andy Forsberg and Tanner Carrick during the final half of the feature. Carrick ended up fourth with Forsberg in fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Tony Gomes, Blake Carrick, Bubba Decaires, Colby Wiesz and 19thstarter CJ Humphreys. Andy Forsberg began the

Defending limited late model champ Dan Jinkerson made it three for three on the season after taking home another win on Saturday. The late model portion of John Padjen Kids Bike Night was sanctioned by the Xtreme Limited Late Model Series and showcased some entertaining action in the 20-lapper. Early on it was Jinkerson who blasted out to the lead over Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. The top duo had their way with things out front but the racing behind them was hot and heavy with Jay Norton, Tyler Lightfoot, Rod Oliver, Matt Michelli and others dicing it up. When all was said and done Jinkerson took the checkered flag over Brown, Norton, Michelli and Anthony Slaney. It marked Jinkerson’s seventh career triumph in the division. The pure stock feature started out with Scott Grunert and current point leader Nick Baldwin battling it out up front. The excellent race then saw a four-car

battle for the top spot with Kevin Jinkerson fighting his way to the lead and bringing Jason Poppert along as well. Just as Jinkerson took command however, he would loop it in turn four to draw a caution. On the restart Poppert, Grunert and Baldwin went three wide for the lead, but the party would come to a halt when the yellow flag waved for a stalled car. After going back green Poppert charged to the lead and Baldwin moved into second not long after. The remaining laps saw Poppert remain calm, cool and collected to record his first career pure stock win at Placerville Speedway. Baldwin, Grunert, Tommy Sturgeon and Jason Palmer completed the top-five. The traveling Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association also showcased an enjoyable 20-lap main event on Saturday.

are often in rural areas. However, a few days ago, tribal sponsors of the alternative online measure decided to forego the 2022 ballot, aim for 2024 and go all-out to defeat the Fan Duel/Draft Kings version. Online and television spots depicting the measure as a money grab by out-of-state interests are already running. So, it would seem, the stage is set for an all-out battle over the Fan Duel/ Draft Kings online measure — but it’s not quite that simple. The Pechanga measure requiring in-person betting has enough signatures to make the ballot so its tribal backers must decide whether to proceed or drop it and join the other tribal group’s battle against the online corporate proposal. If the Pechanga measure remains on the ballot, it will also face a stiff opposition campaign by the cardrooms because of its gratuitous lawsuit provision. Finally, there is a chance —
although probably not a very good one — that rather than spend several hundred million dollars fighting each other, the factions would do what they had been unable to do for years: compromise and withdraw everything from the ballot. For many years, once a measure qualified for the ballot, it would remain even if its sponsors changed their minds. But a recent change in state law allows qualified measures to be withdrawn, thus providing leverage to force legislative action. The provision has already been implemented once this year. A measure changing California’s limit on medical malpractice damages is being taken off the ballot because of a compromise that’s been given fasttrack approval in the Legislature.

Oak Ridge senior Alison Sahaida won the pole vault event at the 2022 Masters meet with a vault of 13 feet, 2 inches. Sahaida’s performance means she will join fellow Trojans Quinn Walker, Luke Stewart and Tyler Burns, along with Hannah Crone of El Dorado, in the 2022 CIF State Track and Field Championships this weekend in Clovis.

If El Dorado’s Hannah Crone and Oak Ridge’s Alison Sahaida, Kyle Burns, Luke Stewart and Quinn Walker find themselves at Davis High School again, they will overlook the track and athletic field with fondness. At the jump pit Crone will be able to say, “That’s where I qualified for state.” The eyes of Sahaida and Burns will drift to midfield, where the pole vault was set up and remember that fateful weekend in May 2022. Stewart and Walker will surely be

When El Dorado County’s best track and field athletes convened with the best of the best from the Sac-Joaquin Section Friday and Saturday in the Masters Championship at Davis High, the goal was clear — state. For those five local athletes, that dream became a reality after years of hard work. “It’s my first time ever going to state so it’s very exciting to be able to qualify in an event that I truly love,” said Crone, a senior who will be

The five will head to the 102nd CIF State Track and Field Championships Friday and Saturday, May 27-28, at Veterans Memorial Stadium on the Buchanan High campus in Clovis. “It feels really good,” Sahaida, also a senior, added. Sahaida is one of the top female pole vaulters in not only the section but the nation. The University of California, Berkeley, signee made her jumps Saturday look effortless.

Championships the event by 17 inches. “She worked hard and is very coachable,” said Oak Ridge pole vault coach John Hardwick, who noted Sahaida was clearing 12 feet, 6 inches as a sophomore. Fellow senior Kyle Burns qualified for state in the boys pole vault. Burns — who is signed to Cal along with Sahaida — jumped 14 feet, 11 inches to finish third. The finals for his event were on Friday and the wind was not forgiving. Of 25 competitors, 36% weren’t able to get a qualifying vault in. Oak Ridge head coach Amber Heinlein said she was impressed with Burns’ results. The wind also challenged runners. Stewart and Walker had to qualify for Saturday finals with strong times Friday. Walker, a junior, ran her Friday 800 meters in a time of 2:22.07 and Stewart, a senior, ran his 400 meters in 50.77 seconds. When they ran Saturday, each lowered their Friday time by more than 3%. Walker’s time dropped to 2:17.92 and she is going to state — by a margin of 0.28 seconds. “I was super excited and honestly shocked,” she said of qualifying for state. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s gonna be a great experience.” Walker was part of Oak Ridge’s cross country team last year that won the section title and finished third at the state meet in Fresno. “I understand bigger pressure situations and I’ve kind of been through it already,” Walker said. “It’s obviously a different circumstance because it’s a different sport but it’s

still a big race.” 2019 was the last season a state track and field meet held. It was Stewart’s freshman year and he wasn’t even on the track and field team yet. He had been on the baseball team where his speed shined. Then when COVID-19 hit, he went out for track. “I felt like the community around track, the coaches and teammates, are a really healthy environment,” Stewart said. “It just lifts you up. It’s great to see people being able to improve themselves every single week.” Stewart improved throughout his career in the 400 meters and on Saturday, as he got into the final straightaway, he said he could see in his peripherals that he was in a good spot but he also knew he had to give it everything he had with runners on his heels. “The last thing you want to have happen is to get leaned at the line,” said Stewart, who has not committed to compete in college. He pushed through and was the second runner to cross the finish line. Crone was one of the first athletes on the day to qualify for state. The senior has been a part of two El Dorado cross country teams that made it to state and now she will be competing in a second sport. She lined up for her long jump, sprinted to the jump line and flew. Crone said she sometimes has trouble “staying tall” in the air, but not at Davis High School, about a mile down the road from where she will compete
collegiately at University of California, Davis. “Today I stayed up really tall so I was able to go farther,” Crone said. By the time she landed she had soared 18 feet, 6 inches through the air and it was immediately announced she would be heading to state. She described the moments that followed as exhilarating. She immediately found her mom to celebrate. As a freshman she had competed at Masters in multiple events and was four spots away from making state in the 4x400. Then for two years she had to wait with no Masters or state meets due to COVID-19. By the time her senior year rolled around she was all business. She broke school records, then just kept breaking them. Crone rode into the Masters meet after helping the El Dorado girls track and field team win the divisional meet a week ago over 19 Division IV Sac-Joaquin Section teams. “We haven’t won a divisional since my freshman year so it was super exciting to be able to do that my senior year,” Crone said. The El Dorado boys team also won its divisional title last week and had several competitors in the Masters meet. The Ponderosa girls team won the Division III title last week for a second time in school history, topping 25 other teams. “As a team that was truly incredible,” said Ponderosa senior Natalie Wieland. “It just means so much to have so many

The senior — who will be joining Crone at UC Davis in the fall — also competed in the state cross country meet in December. With the top three going to state in the 8-lap, 2-mile race Saturday, Wieland and Whitney junior Katie Kopec battled for third throughout much of the race. With the first and second place runners pulling away, and the fifth and sixth racers falling far back, Wieland and Kopec were in a race of their own with the winner going to state. “With two laps left to

Central EDH members were on hand to discuss their recommendations. “Our focus is not to advocate for or against any project,” APAC Chair John Davey insisted. “During this entire process, there has been no change to the project that is substantive, nothing that recognizes community concerns. We’re struggling to find a benefit. We don’t see it.” The APAC document, which will be submitted to the county Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, spans 44 pages and continues to grow. Issues cover General Plan consistency, traffic, deficiencies in the environmental impact report, wetland concerns and negative fiscal impacts. APAC sub-committee chair John Richard pointed out that only General Plan policies were analyzed in the staff report, not General Plan goals. “The idea is that policies help you implement goals. We have found a dozen clear inconsistencies with goals in the General Plan, everything from maintaining the character of the community to preserving open space and recreation possibilities.” Richard went on to highlight the reduction of the community benefit fee from the project’s previous iteration, despite recent increases in home prices. “Development is 60-70% more profitable than it was two years ago,” he speculated, noting that the fee is reduced for multi-family units and does not apply at all to workforce housing units. He also confirmed the
after that it was no worries in sight, as he took the checkered flag for his second Placerville win of the season. Mike “Spanky” Grenert won out in a thrilling duel for second over Reeder. Dylan Shrum and Corey Eaton rounded out the top five.
Continued from A1 by-right development unit total for the area is approximately 750 homes for Village D1 and Pedregal. “The idea of this project is basically to transfer those units, that density, down to the golf course,” Richard maintained. “I can tell you from a developer’s perspective there is no way Parker can get the density that’s allowed by zoning up above where the multi-family unit is. It’s just too steep, too difficult, too expensive. That’s the primary reason that this is not two separate plan areas. Once you combine it into one, you get to move densities around.” To gauge public interest, five options were polled at the meeting. The low-use option of open space and trails garnered a similar high number of votes as the short golf course concept. The moderateuse concept involving sports courts and fields, a community building and amphitheater came in at a distant third while the high-use concept with an aquatic center only saw minimal support. The fifth option, Parker Development’s proposal, was universally shunned. Residents spoke to denounce the project, citing environmental concerns, as well as traffic, water and asbestos issues. Resident Rayona Sharpnack urged county officials to listen to their constituents. “Watching this community come together and fight for something that’s so important to us and being disillusioned about if our voice matters — it’s going to be really hard to explain to my grandkids
who are in schools here learning about democracy,” she said. Longtime resident Kelley Nalewaja found it ironic that her friend was fined by the Serrano HOA. “She was told, ‘When you bought your house, you knew the rules,’” she recounted. “Parker, you knew what you bought and you knew the rules.” The project’s legality was brought into question by resident Dean Getz, who asserted that the development plan is in violation of Serrano CC&Rs. “It’s illegal as presented,” he stated. “I think this all boils down to something very simple. This community is repeatedly being bullied.” An online CSD survey to collect more community feedback was suggested to offer further evidence for the district’s letter to county commissions and supervisors. Other project details include 11 acres set aside for civic-limited commercial use, a 15-acre village park alongside Highway 50, 190 total acres of open space/parks and 1.5 miles of a class one bike and pedestrian trail. The project spans two areas, Pedregal and Serrano Westside, the parcel that contains the golf course. The Planning Commission will hear public comment on the project and deliberate at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, June 9, at 2850 Fairlane Court in Placerville. To listen, call (530) 6217603 or (530) 621-7610.

At every turn, a vividly colored tree, bush or plant greet visitors as they cross wood garden bridges over meandering creek beds that flow from large rock waterfalls, mimicking nature’s very own. The Cantos garden is one of five gardens hosting guests during the Assistance League Sierra Foothills’ 12th annual Garden of the Hills Tour. Those lucky enough to make the trip will marvel at the weeping blue atlas trees that adorn various areas throughout the garden, where visitors will also find a large pink European beech tree encompassing a sunny spot and nearby a Staghorn sumac, vivid in its green coloring but a subtly different shade from other greenery nearby. A giant pink China rose adds another pop of color amongst various maples and ferns while a burgundy Smoketree adorns the fence line. When asked about a favorite place to sit and take in the beauty, Jon said it is hard to choose just one. They have several benches from which to

Other garden features include a rock fountain area, pool, outdoor fireplace, lawn area and play area. Beautiful open space at the back of the property offers lovely scenery — rolling hills, oaks and a creek. The 2022 Garden of the Hills Tour is a fundraiser for ALSF, which sponsors several
philanthropic programs that benefit El Dorado County residents. Two signature programs, Operation School Bell and Sports Locker, help homeless and disadvantaged children with new school clothes and the opportunity to play organized youth sports. Other programs aid youth with reading skills, seniors with social interactions, young
adults with college tuition scholarships and children relocated because of abuse or neglect with duffel bags in which to carry their belongings. The tour takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 4, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 5. For tickets and more information visit assistanceleague.org/sierrafoothills.

prospecting Youth Commissioners speak to supervisors Dina Gentry EDC Office of Education El Dorado County Youth Commissioners recently presented on their efforts over the last school year that revolved around benefitting youth mental health and wellness. Commissioners took turns presenting to the Board of Supervisors, articulating how they worked to raise awareness, provide valuable resources like survey data regarding mental heath and partner with community organizations — such as Boys and Girls Club, Western Slope — to expand their efforts. Each school year students are appointed to the Youth Commission by the board to help develop and express the opinions, ideas and vision of El Dorado County youth by working with local government and community decision-makers. Through the program, students gain leadership skills and work toward common goals as they partner with other youth organizations, assist with local community service activities and discover ways to better communicate with youth about various opportunities available in El Dorado County. This is made

Wayfinder finds ways to give youth a chance to thrive, find

NIE’s goal is to assist schools, teachers and parents in developing future readers who can use the newspaper to enrich their own lives and participate responsibly in their community, state and nation. Not only does the Mountain Democrat provide valuable information on a wide range of topics daily, it also can be used as a resource for teaching numerous skills to various age groups and in many different disciplines. It helps students connect classroom lessons to the real world around them and develop a positive and
relevant lifetime reading habit. A study released by the Newspaper Association of America Foundation shows data indicating students in NIE programs do 10 percent better on standardized tests and that significant increases in student performances occur, especially in middle schools. Donations from our sponsors allow our educators to order the newspaper for their classrooms free of charge. These sponsorships contribute to literacy and allow thousands of teachers and students in El Dorado County to learn from a living textbook, the Mountain Democrat, and develop a life-long reading habit that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Please show these sponsors your support for the program by patronizing their businesses.

Recharge and charge up at Sierra Vista Vineyards Thomas Frey Staff writer Sierra Vista Vineyards and Winery has installed electric vehicle charging stations. Whether you are going up to the beautiful vineyard for wine tasting or for one of the many events like live music performances, customers can pull up to one of four spaces — two being ADA accessible — and plug in for free so your car can charge while you sip, celebrate and relax. Sierra Vista joins other wineries that have a charging station. “We’re committed to being as green as possible and we’re really excited about it for sure,” said Sierra Vista owner Jim Czachorowski. “With the amount of EVs that we see coming in, we know it’s going that way fast.” Sierra Vista’s commitment to going green stretches beyond the charging stations. Last year the vineyard updated its solar panels, which had been state of the art in the 1980s. “We updated to all the brand new efficient panels and tripled the size,” Czachorowski said. “We are trying to cut down costs on energy and we are able to sustain power and give power back to the grid. We actually feed power back to the grid during the prime time of day from about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.” For more information and a list of events go to sierravistawinery.com.

sponsoring a gift card drive that encouraged students to donate Target and Walmart gift cards. All cash donations were used to purchase more gift cards. The club presented Karen Russell, a Wayfinder Family Specialist, with 17 gift cards totaling $425. The gift cards will be used by youth in foster care to buy school clothes and supplies as well as personal items needed to help them settle into their new homes. The Markham Hands4Hope club chose Lilliput’s Kinship Program because its members believe all youth should have access to school supplies, new clothing, healthy foods and loving homes. Of the partnership with Hands4Hope, Russell said, “The Kinship program here in El Dorado
County is only able to continue because of the generous support from the community. The youth from Hands4Hope continue to support our mission through their generous support. Myself and our clients truly appreciate their ongoing support.” Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference is a nonprofit, youthdriven organization with the mission to inspire and empower youth in leadership and service. The nonprofit offers hands-on education and community engagement opportunities to youth from kindergarten through 12th grades through school-based and after-school programs in Sacramento and El Dorado counties.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property
is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES. BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000009377961. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder”, you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW. SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000009377961 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

T.S. NO. 22-0006-11 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SAlE A.P.N.: 085-391-002-000 You Are In Default Under A Deed Of Trust Dated 7/15/2020. Unless You Take Action To Protect Your Property, It May Be Sold At A Public Sale. If You Need An Explanation Of The Nature Of The Proceeding Against You, You Should Contact A Lawyer. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Victor R Lopez, A Single Man Duly Appointed Trustee: The Wolf Firm, A Law Corporation Recorded 7/20/2020 as Instrument No. 20200035953-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Street Address or other common designation of real property: 7248 Maidu Dr Placerville, CA 95667 A.P.N.: 085-391-002-000 Date of Sale: 6/15/2022 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: main entrance to County Courthouse, 495 Main St., Placerville, CA Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $285,006.05, estimated The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Website www.mkconsultantsinc. com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-0006-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website www. mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-0006-11 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The Notice to Tenant pertains to sales occurring after January 1, 2021.
