County’s sales tax revenue could take a major hit Mountain Democrat staff El Dorado County could lose millions in sales tax revenue if a major online retailer gets its way, county Auditor-Controller Joe Harn warned the Board of Supervisors this week. One of the world’s largest online retailers (Harn is prohibited from naming the retailer or reporting more precise revenue estimates per California Revenue and Taxation Code 7056) “has changed the way it reports sales tax transactions to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.” “If this sales tax reporting change is accepted and validated by CDTFA, El Dorado County will lose millions of dollars in general fund revenues

Auburn shuttle Sammon to U.S. team trials aims to ease congestion
Jana Rossi Staff writer
Oak Ridge High School senior Patrick Sammon jumped into the pool around age 3 after his parents enrolled him in water safety classes. When he was 6 he joined the Tasmanian Devils Swim Team, but it wasn’t until he turned 12 that he said he realized his passion for the water could be more than just a hobby. He began swimming year-round for AquaSol in Cameron Park. In early May his years of pre-dawn practices, day-long swim meets and breathless minutes standing on blocks waiting for the start of the race signal —
Patrick Sammon trained and competed with AquaSol, a club team based in Cameron Park. Spring Cup in Irvine, he qualified for the Olympic Trials in three swim events; the 50-meter, 100-meter

Sammon will dive into this difficult competition in Omaha, Neb., in early June when the top two swimmers in each event will have the opportunity to qualify for the Tokyo summer Olympics this July and to make the Junior National Swim team. In addition, he hopes to represent the United States in the Junior World Championship to be held in Kazan, Russia in late August. At 17 years old Sammon has an impressive record, ranking third in the n

Mountain Democrat staff In an effort to provide traffic congestion relief for those visiting the Confluence, Auburn Transit will shuttle visitors in and out of the area. Auburn Transit will offer round-trip shuttles to five key stops around Auburn as well as the Confluence of the North and Middle forks of the American River — a plan approved by the Auburn City Council.

Shuttles will wait 10 minutes before making the return trip. The shuttles accommodate up to 16 people and have racks for up to six bicycles. Carry-ons of all kinds must fit in the space between the passenger and the seat in front of them. Masks are required to ride the shuttles. The cost of a ticket is $3.50 per passenger round trip.

Rising mobile home park rents mulled at town hall Thomas Frey Staff writer
A Community Elevation town hall May 10 sought solutions for El Dorado County’s mobile home park residents struggling to afford rent increases. A slew of expert panelists with backgrounds in mobile home housing took the Union Mine High School stage as the audience packed the rows of seats. “What happens over time is obvious — people can’t afford the rent anymore,” said John Bertaut, a board member of the Golden State

Manufactured Home League, which advocates for mobile homeowners. The county has 56 mobile home communities that have at least six units. Residents own their mobile home but the owner of the mobile home community owns the land and controls the rent. It’s an affordable housing option for many, including seniors who are retired and living on a fixed income. “It is a business model that sees rapidly rising rents,” said Tamara Janies, chair of the El Dorado Mobilehome Owners Coalition.

Hazel Margaret Reed/Masciovecchio May 26, 1935 - May 2, 2021
Hazel Margaret Reed/ Masciovecchio passed away May 2, at the age of 85. Born in London, England May 26, 1935. She came to the United States in the early ‘50s and eventually became a citizen Sept. 5, 1989 as she made her home in California. Hazel had a very eventful life, living through the Blitz in London, enduring World War II and the aftereffects, then moving around the world as a military wife, living in Germany, Texas, New York and Nevada. She was a strong person and survivor in many ways. Hazel had two husbands, Don Reed who she met in postwar England and was father of her children and Al Masciovecchio who she met after Don’s passing. Both of whom she outlived. Hazel was an extremely caring person, feeling deeply about the troubles of others. She always said, “Be kind to others as you do not know what they may have been through in their lives.” Hazel was the loving mother of three, Linda, Don and Kate and grandmother to Robyn, Roselynn and Joe. She also had a special bond with her daughterin-law Shaunna. Hazel’s sisters and their families moved to Australia and she did manage to visit them twice. She was also thrilled to meet her new in-laws from India on their visit to granddaughter Robyn and husband Ankit. Hazel was vivacious, energetic, laughed a lot, even at herself and would have danced every day of her life if she could have. Hazel loved animals, especially dogs. She often said if she were rich, she would own a big piece of property where any animal that needed a home could come and be cared for. Hazel eventually became a vegetarian. Hazel loved her family, books, politics and history, was a free thinker and felt strongly about the need to help others. Once she helped nurse a mother of a young family from her church who was dying of cancer so the father could work to support them and give him some respite. Her last wishes included a desire to sponsor two children for corrective surgery through “Operation Smile.” Hazel was a remarkable person and complained very little during her last years when she was unwell. She considered herself lucky to have people she loved around her. Hazel will be very much missed by her family and those she came in contact with throughout her life. She was definitely one of a kind. There will be a memorial mass for her on June 2, at noon at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Placerville.

County leaders ask residents to direct coronavirus concerns to state The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors is urging residents to direct COVID-19 “complaints, concerns and requests” to the California Department of Public Health and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office. Board Chairman John Hidahl said there has been a lot of confusion about the role of El Dorado County Public Health, which has led to “misdirected criticism at best and verbal and physical hostility at worst toward county employees who are simply acting at the direction of the state to help ensure the health and safety of our residents.” Individual counties do not have the discretion to make guidelines less restrictive; however, they can make them more restrictive. “It’s important for the general public and specifically those demanding Public Health make masks optional in schools and other settings to

Dr. Little’s Dental News A wildland fire burned 2.5 acres on Peacock Way in Pilot Hills Friday afternoon. The blaze started when metal grinding work on a fence ignited nearby dry vegetation, according to Cal Fire officials. Ground and air resources kept the fire from spreading to nearby homes amid windy conditions. Cal Fire officials remind those who might be grinding or welding in wildland areas that 10-feet of clearance is required and such activity should not take place during windy or dry conditions.

understand we simply do not have the discretion to make those decisions,” Hidahl said. The Centers for Disease Control, a federal agency, announced May 13 that vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in most settings. However, California Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said May 17 the state won’t adopt the new guidelines until June 15 when Newsom plans to fully open the economy. The state aims to give people more time to become fully vaccinated and businesses more time to prepare for the change. “If you want a change in the guidelines, contact the state with your request. Contact your state elected officials to lobby the governor’s administration to make the changes you want to see,” Hidahl said. “Please direct your efforts to where the decisions are being made, which have been and continue to be at the state level, rather than at the county, which has no authority to do less than the state.”

LINK BETWEEN ORAL HEALTH AND STROKES Strokes are one of the biggest killers in the world, and knowing all the signs is the best way to avoid one, including the signals that may be coming from your mouth. Gum disease, which affects more than 64 million people in the United States alone, is an inflammation of the gums caused by an overabundance of bacteria in the mouth. In some cases, the bacteria generating the problem can travel from your mouth into your bloodstream creating more inflammation and making your blood more likely to clot. Once formed, a blood clot can prevent oxygen from getting to your brain, causing a stroke. This is even more likely to occur in people who have already suffered a stroke.
There is no magic to avoiding gum disease and achieving optimal dental hygiene success. Almost anyone can do it with a modest amount of time invested daily. Keeping up with home dental care as well as scheduling periodic cleanings and wellness exams are two important steps toward accomplishing the goal of a healthy mouth and a healthy body. For full-service dental care for all members of your family, please call us for an appointment. P.S. The inflammation that results from gum disease has been linked to strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and certain types of cancer.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Lights to stay in at EDH’s Heritage Park Sel Richard Staff writer Future Heritage Park’s court lighting, although unwelcome to some in nearby senior communities, will stay in and maybe off … or maybe not. At the May 13 El Dorado Hills Community Service District’s Board of Directors meeting, members recommended against removal of the lights due to both the expense and potential damage to the tennis and pickle ball courts on which 50-foot stadium lights have already been installed. Costs to remove the lights are estimated at $30,000. Located off Carson Crossing Drive in the midst of the over-55 active adult communities Heritage and Four Seasons, initial plans for the park included lighted tennis, pickle ball and bocce ball courts. After 160 residents submitted a petition to modify park hours and eliminate the need for lighting, the district designated park hours from dawn to dusk with no evening lighted courts. Board member Allan Priest pointed out that the original intent of the park was to meet multigenerational needs for the community, though early public outcry against team play on soccer fields prompted the elimination of ball fields. “We went through a very rigorous process on the design of

this park,” he insisted, adding that there were no comments at the time regarding court lighting. Parks Superintendent Dan Williams maintained that LED lighting technology advances comes at the expense of their height. “If you kept them lower, you would get a lot more illumination, a lot more foot-candles over a wide swath of area and you’d get a lot of reflected light,” he said, reiterating the Parks and Planning committee’s suggestion of an independent analysis of light impacts once the park nears completion. The lights were initially planned to service competitive play on the courts, a stated goal in the district’s master plan, yet a number of commenters balked at the concept. “We’re the community,” resident Corde Wagner said. “People from all over want to have this but what about those of us that are right here? You really need to consider the residents that are most affected by the park.” Dan Williams clarified that the term competitive doesn’t necessarily mean team sports from other areas. “It just means that people want to be able to play a high-level competitive game,” he said, referring to the quality of the courts. He assured that if the lights are used, they would be programmed and ■

Because online retailers have been reporting sales tax to CDFTA based on the location of deliveries, the county’s sales tax revenues have increased during the state’s shelter in place order.

transactions back to Oct. 1, 2020, to the local jurisdiction of its shipping warehouses,” according to the auditor. “If this tax apportionment decision is final, it is a significant setback to El Dorado County’s financial wellbeing and will result in a lower level of services,” Harn wrote. “This large online retailer has delivery vans constantly crisscrossing our county and wearing out our roads. It is only fair and reasonable that our community receive some tax revenue to compensate us.”
The cities of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe will also be adversely affected. The Auditor’s Office has requested CDTFA provide a written description and summary of the situation and Harn said he has also contacted California Assemblyman Kevin Kiley to advocate for El Dorado County. The Auditor’s Office and Chief Administrative Office are working together to gather additional information and take additional action if/when needed.

Inflated job numbers prop up bullet train
W
henever politicians spend large sums of taxpayer money on pet projects, they invariably overstate their supposed economic benefits, particularly creating oodles of “goodpaying jobs.” They all do it, using a Dan Walters deceptive assumption that if one worker works one day on the project it’s counted as a “job.” Ralph Vartabedian, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times who — thank goodness — specializes in telling us what’s really happening, or not, in the state’s woebegone high-speed rail project, punctures its job creation myth in a recent article. Vartabedian cites a banner on a bullet train viaduct in Fresno claiming “5,000 jobs and counting” but reveals that while consuming many billions of dollars, the project has employed only about 1,000 construction workers at any one time. “The boast of 5,000 jobs refers to the number of workers dispatched from union halls,” he wrote. “Each time a worker is sent to a job site, whether for one day or hundreds of days, it counts as a job for the purpose of the banners. “Rail authority Chief Executive Brian Kelly defended the worker count as a valid measure of progress, saying the authority has been doing it for years.” In other words, since inflated job Inflated job creation numbers have been numbers help keep used for years Kelly would have us believe California’s bullet it’s a valid practice. train project alive In fact as despite lack of Vartabedian discovered from justification. analyzing bullet train data, “hourly workers have received about $265 million of the $6.1 billion that has been spent on construction, representing just 4%. Of the total $8.1 billion spent on the project, the labor portion is even smaller, 3%. The $265 million is less than what the rail authority spends every three months.” The much-inflated job creation claims are important because construction union support has been one of the most important factors in keeping the project alive despite lacking a rational justification. The original vision, backed by voters, was for a statewide north-south system of high-speed travel but no one ever came up with a plan for financing such a system, which would cost upward of $100 billion. The Fresno structures, dubbed “Stonehenge” by local critics, are part of a very limited stretch in the San Joaquin Valley, financed by some state bonds, a federal grant and a share of proceeds from the state’s auctions of greenhouse gas emission permits.

Letters to the Editor Erasing history EDITOR: read some people believe in erasing our history to make them feel better. Hangtown is a part of Placerville history. If you read the history it was because three horse thieves rode into Placerville with their guns loaded and shooting. My greatgreat-great grandfather discovered gold in Coloma and the history is part of our heritage. There was a suggestion to vote on this. I think a small minority wants the change because they are victims of this world. I can’t believe this is an issue when there are so many more important ones on the agenda. I would vote to keep our heritage and our history that says we care about people and our community does not allow outlaws to break our laws in it. DEBBIE JEFFREY Rescue

Losing the noose EDITOR:
W
hen entering Placerville you are greeted by a sign that says welcome to “Old Hangtown.” The noose does not stand for racism; it is a part of Placerville’s history. I am saddened that the City Council voted so easily to remove it from our city signs and stationary at an estimated cost of $5,000. Couldn’t that money be better spent to help the homeless living by the freeway in tents? What’s next, the gold panning miner symbol because the environmentalists think he is polluting the streams? You may be able to remove the symbols, but you cannot change history. Let us go forward remembering the past and making America’s future a better place. ANN SALCH Placerville
Save the senior center EDITOR: t was recently brought to my attention that the city was thinking of moving or even closing the senior center. I decided it was important for me to contact my county representative and was told that this was only in the planning stage.
I
I understand that the city is behind this even though this is not a city issue. This is a county facility on county land. This facility has a large kitchen that is being used to prepare food for seven other centers as well as home-delivered meals. This is only one of the many services and classes that this facility houses. Public Health is already being moved. This puts needed services for seniors at multiple sites and makes it harder for seniors to access services. it is estimated that 77% of El Dorado County is comprised of people 60-plus. The code violations are not the facility’s fault but the city/county’s fault as they would not make needed repairs. They would only do cheap, temporary patch work. It has also been pointed out that this is an historical building (county hospital 45 years ago). All the city/county care about is the money that prime piece of real estate is worth. The COVID crisis has made it hard to publicize the city meetings and so citizens are unable to be part of the conversation. I want to bring community awareness to this issue so we have a say-so in the decision process. Voters who choose who will hold positions in our city/county, we need to do something about this. We need people to go to the historical society (as well as pressure our elected officials) to declare this an historical building officially. They can get the money needed to make the repairs to get this building up to code. We need our center and all the programs it offers. Consider: Money for real estate or the public good? MARIA MATHEWS Placerville
Stop the madness EDITOR: ear Congress, We don’t need to launch more “stuff ” and/or people into space. It has no tangible value. We don’t need more planes, bombs, missiles, etc. We have enough now to blow up the world. We don’t need to build more roads, mosques or schools in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, et al. Stop sending our money (foreign aid) to 160 countries

Now, some don’t want “Dirty Jobs” host Mike to pay it back. Rowe points out that President Joe Biden students’ demand for says they shouldn’t have loan forgiveness is “kind to.

Poor students! “For some reason,” continues Rowe, But wait: Shouldn’t they have given “we think a tool that looks like a some thought to debt payments diploma is somehow more important when they signed up for overpriced than that big piece of metal in the colleges?

knows how to build the corner office?” Lots of good jobs in skilled trades don’t require a college degree, he points out. “The push for college came at the expense of every other form of education. Shop class was taken out of high school. We have denied millions of kids an opportunity to see what half the workforce looks like.” It’s a reason America now has a shortage of skilled trade workers. Yet, plumbers, elevator mechanics construction managers, etc., make $100,000 a year. MikeroweWORKS Foundation gives young people scholarships to schools where they learn such trades. He seeks to make skilled labor “cool” again. One Rowe scholarship recipient, Chloe Hudson, considered college but was shocked at what it cost. “I was like, ‘I can’t afford this!’ I don’t want to be saddled with student debt the rest of my life!” Instead, thanks to her Rowe scholarship, she learned how to weld, and now she has no trouble finding work. “I’ve been under nuclear plants ... been in water systems,” Hudson recounts. “Those jobs make me
appreciate what I have now so much more.” “What do you make?” I ask Hudson. $3,000 a week,” she responds. She’s appalled by today’s college student’s demand for loan forgiveness. “There is not a single loan I have ever taken out where I didn’t have an expectation put on myself that I was going to repay it,” says Hudson. “That’s getting up at four o’clock in the morning and making sure I’m at work on time. That’s staying late. That’s working weekends.” But now she will have to help pay for all those college students who won’t pay their debts. “I am taxed heavily,” complains Hudson. “It’s not a good feeling to know that the government thinks that they can spend my dollars better than I can.” Right. Government doesn’t spend our dollars better than we do. “Forgive student loans” really means workers must pay for privileged students who don’t.

At the moment, it would run from a few miles north of Fresno to a few miles north of Bakersfield. Gov. Gavin Newsom came close to killing the project after taking office in 2019, only to backtrack under pressure from construction unions. Newsom then declared that he wants to expand the current project northward a few miles to Merced and southward a few miles to Bakersfield, assuming that someday it could be connected to the Bay Area and Los Angeles. But that also added billions of dollars to the projected costs. Newsom’s latest budget proposal would appropriate $4.2 billion from remaining voterapproved bonds to advance his version of the project and mentions “potential federal funds” to fill the remaining financial hole — a reference to President Joe Biden’s ambitious infrastructure program. However, Newsom’s plan doesn’t sit well with some legislative leaders who would prefer improving commuter transit. Some bullet train money has already been shifted to electrifying the Caltrain commuter service on the San Francisco

Seniors Maxx Swanson and Joseph Schneider have shared more than just the basketball spotlight at El Dorado High School. The lifelong friends finished their high school careers while playing the best basketball of their lives.
Eldo’s got talent Mark Devaughn Mountain Democrat correspondent Seniors Maxx Swanson and Joseph Schneider have shared more than just the basketball spotlight at El Dorado High School. The lifelong friends finished their high school careers while playing the best basketball of their lives. A year that altered lives and tested limits saw El Dorado’s top boys basketball players push their own boundaries. Lifelong friends Joseph Schneider and Maxx Swanson thrived together in a senior year defined and disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of finishing their high school careers while playing the best basketball of their lives was memorable — and not ideal. The campaign lacked everything from offseason conditioning to pregame meals. The Cougars crammed 15 games into six weeks. They never practiced with a full roster. But the 6-foot-4 Schneider blossomed and led the Sierra Valley Conference with 20.9 points per game. The relentless competitor won basketball games and did long jump at El Dorado track meets — sometimes on the same day. “That was hard on my knees,” Schneider said. “Quarantining gave me the free time to work out. I got better but it was hard to get used to a normal
class schedule again.” El Dorado (10-5, 5-2) joined Union Mine as the SVC’s top teams. Schneider capped his third varsity season with team MVP honors. Swanson — who dabbles in computer programming and hopes for a real estate career — emerged as the Cougars’ biggest revelation. The affable leader added 20 pounds and grew nearly 4 inches since junior year. He averaged 15.9 points per game in the mold of his best friend: playing all five positions and using his 6-foot-4 frame to full advantage. “I’d call the season a blessing in disguise,” he said. “Playing three or four games per week was hard but I’m glad for the experience. I pushed my limits more than I expected. Now I feel stronger and faster.” The two have played organized basketball since first grade — at times, too well. “At recess in school, they always wanted to split us up because we were the best players,” Schneider remembered. “We’ve always had that chemistry. We’re the dynamic duo.” The formula took shape before birth. Jamie and Sara Schneider wed in 1998 before joining a Cameron Park church. There, they became fast friends with another married couple.

we feel the community needs,” he explained. “It’s not that we’re working against you.” In the end, board members agreed that the lights should remain and lighting policy would be evaluated at a future date. “I do believe we made a commitment to the residents on the dawn to dusk,” board President Noelle Mattock said, but mentioned the need to test the lights as the park nears completion. “I’m willing to revisit potentially utilizing the lights at a future date should the community request and demand it.”
El Dorado County mobile home residents. Between 1990 and 2010, 528 units were lost. From 2010 to now Johnson said, “It looks like we’ve gone down at least another 500.” He recommended mobile home park owners add spaces if they can. “You already have the infrastructure, then the roads, sewers and water is there,” Johnson said. “You just have to expand it a little.” Bill Roby of the El Dorado Community Foundation was the moderator while El Dorado County Supervisors Wendy Thomas and John Hidahl co-hosted the event.

Amy Swanson went from mentoring the two newcomers to regularly sharing life moments with them. The families, which include seven children between them, once lived on separate floors in the same house. “We visited each other in the hospital when our kids were born,” Sara said. “The boys were born six months apart. Life is a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs. Our lives have gone on, but in different ways.” In Maxx’s sophomore year, shocking news interrupted a sleepover at a cousin’s house: His mom was divorcing her husband of 20 years. She later moved to Redding. Maxx’s dad remained in Placerville to manage the household. Along with his older twin sisters (former El Dorado soccer stars Drew and Samm Swanson), Maxx faced some grownup lessons. “As a Christian family we were taught — my mom taught me — that divorce was wrong,” he said. “Having her be the

But I’ve put my differences with my mom aside. I’d say my relationship with her is distant but healthy.” The 2021 season gave Cougar head basketball coach Tom Spencer a double-edged sense of wonder. The honor of boasting two high scorers came with loaded questions: What if not for the pandemic? With a
supporting cast of seniors like Kyle Campbell, Robby Pifferini and Zander Presgrave, how far could El Dorado have gone in a normal season? “With COVID it’s been a tough, bizarre year. It’s affected every team,” Spencer said. “Joseph and Maxx were amazing. Their success speaks to their dedication to the sport and their qualities as people. They’re just good people.”

United States for 18 and younger in the 100-meter freestyle swim. Parents Kim and Will Sammon said, “We are very proud of Patrick and his dedication to his training. Making Olympic Trial time cuts has been a long-term goal of his and we are so excited to see him accomplish this at such a young age.” “I am so happy to see him excited to be racing in the pool again; it makes my heart smile,” Kim added. In addition to his competitive swim schedule, Sammon was on the Oak Ridge swim team for three of his four years and is committed to Arizona State University, where he will train under Michael Phelps’ former coach, Bob Bowman.

Sammon credits his coach, Darren Mai, owner of SwimLabs in El Dorado Hills, as being instrumental in his success and offered this tip to hopeful athletes: “Listen to your coach. They know what they’re doing and they will guide you. “With the right discipline and effort, anything is possible,” Sammon added. And Patrick isn’t the only Sammon to make giant strides in the water. Younger brother Quinn, an eighthgrader at Rolling Hills Middle School, also has his eye on making the Olympic Trial time cuts in his event — the breast stroke. There may be more than one Sammon to watch for down the pike.

• Smog Inspection
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Inspiration comes in many forms, the current one being among your favorites. It’s inside of a person, telling a story, the details of which you will eat up — fuel for your next adventure. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While it’s only human to care what your friends, colleagues and the community at large think of you, it is time to go beyond — to act honorably and correctly without a worry as to the popularity of your choices. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Guilt is a tactic employed to keep people under control. It requires the buy-in from a guilty party, the agreement that one person’s failing gives the other person the upper hand. You’ll learn as you observe the dynamic today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who don’t know any better will get the sense that these good things are dropping into your life by way of fortune’s favor. Maybe, but you’ve certainly put in an extraordinary amount of effort to endear yourself to the fates. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Decisions are far easier to make than you think. The bottom line is not a promise of profit or the knowledge that you’re improving a thing but something much simpler. What if the bottom line is just “Do you feel like it or not?” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The person who gives you the most winning advice will also give you a few duds. You listen up, try things out and bring enough scientific judgment to the thing to decide which advice is actionable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your confidence shows up in how you care for yourself and prepare yourself to face the day. You don’t have to psych yourself up with pep talks, because your natural inclination of self-directed kindness is all the lift you need. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The internet meme says a friend helps you move and a good friend helps you move the body. You’ll find that the truest tests of friendship are not in dire circumstances; rather, they are in times of success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Thinking there are better days ahead may relieve the stress you’re going through now, though this is only one way of doing it. You could also welcome and love the stress, because these really are the good old days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Meeting the demands of the day with grace will require you to pace yourself. All you have to do is flex a bit to notice that you’re the one who’s really in control of things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your protective instinct kicks in before you realize why. Take that as a sign that your instincts are keen. You are aware of what you have PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Stay on the lookout for those who represent the qualities you want to absorb. Your circle of influence will soon welcome new faces, some you choose and others who choose you.

Dance students thrive at high-caliber Cameron Park studio Jana Rossi Staff writer
T
ucked away in a little business area off Greenwood Lane in Cameron Park sits a small, unassuming dance studio. Inside, this studio holds years of experience and opportunities that would most likely only be found in a city such as San Francisco or New York ... and that’s how owner Killian Stephens likes it. Her own experience of training in a little dance studio in the small town of Sonora, starting when she was just 5 years old, prompted her desire to offer better opportunities to young dancers. “It became evident by age 12 that I would have to leave the area and head to the Bay Area or other urban areas to pursue the high caliber of ballet training required for a professional career. I loved the California foothills and was sad to leave the area,” Stephens told the
Mountain Democrat. “I am so happy to be able to return to my home state in El Dorado County to offer families the level of high-caliber training that will take dancers all the way through to career or college — without having to leave home.” A renowned ballerina in her own right, Stephens has a lengthy résumé. Her early training began with Suzanne Stalley-Katsarsky, former soloist of the San Francisco Ballet. When she was 15 her family moved from California to Utah, where she joined the University of Utah Department of Ballet. There she performed with the Utah Ballet, where she said she would train for nine hours each day. Upon turning 18, she accepted a contract with Ballet Arizona and her experience continued to grow as Stephens attended many distinguished ballet and dance schools — Boston Ballet School, San Francisco Ballet School and ■

ongevity is all about love, fun and work for this couple celebrating 75 years of marriage. George and Elsie Bingen met at a Thanksgiving dance in November 1945 and were married in May 1946. A sixmonth courtship might not seem like enough time to decide to marry, but for these two it worked out just fine. Fastforward 75 years and they are still as much in love as they were when they said their vows. They were farm kids, living 9 miles apart, who met at a dance one night and knew, even then, they were meant to be together. “We just worked, took care of each other, tried to get along and raised our four kids,” said Elsie, musing on the past 75 years and the family they built together. In 1959 they made the move to California after George worked for several ranchers and farmers in South Dakota. He started work with SMUD in Orangevale and stayed with the company for 32 years. “Lovin’ each other, working and having fun,” said Elsie of their secret of success and longevity, adding that you should never go to bed angry. “If you do, you don’t sleep anyway.” ■

Apple Hill growers award scholarships to grads News release CAMINO — The Apple Hill Growers Association recently announced the recipients of the 2021 Norma Brubaker Scholarships, created to support students who participate in agriculture-related activities in high school and intend to pursue a career in an agriculture-related field after graduation. El Dorado High School seniors Tessa Bush and Rebecca Winslow were each awarded $1,500 in a ceremony at the school on May 5. The scholarship is named for Norma Brubaker, a passionate volunteer who was the first employee of the Apple Hill Growers Association. Since 1984, the growers have awarded the annual Norma Brubaker Scholarships in partnership with the Brubaker Family. Bush has received many academic awards and honors, including the Hope for America Award from Placerville Kiwanis and Human Highlights Recognition from EDHS. In addition to scholastic excellence, she is a member of the EDHS swim and water polo teams, has had a leading role in the school’s drama productions and has volunteered to build homes for families in need in Mexico with Federated Church. Bush will be attending Washington State University, pursing a degree in hospitality business management. Winslow maintains a 4.05 GPA and as a member of the Natural
Resources Club has participated in the Forestry Challenge and Generation Green Club. She has worked at the East Campus Orchard, coordinating fundraising events and working to bring sustainability practices to the campus. During her senior year, she designed a scientific inquiry on the influence of cover crops on soil chemistry and crop health. Winslow will be attending National Arizona University, pursuing a major in environmental studies with a minor in biology or communications. “We are proud of Tessa and Rebecca and their passion for agriculture and the environment — core values of the Apple Hill Growers Association,” said Chris Delfino of Delfino Farms and president of the Apple Hill Growers Association. “The farming and agriculture industries need more young people to get involved and our organization is proud to support future leaders in the field.”
About Apple Hill Growers Founded in 1964, the Apple Hill Growers Association is dedicated to supporting agriculture in El Dorado County. The organization began with 16 apple ranches and has grown to include unique fruit and veggie farms, wineries, B&Bs, flower gardens, Christmas tree farms and a day spa. The more than 50 farms of Apple Hill produce a variety of crops including apples, berries, stone fruit, vegetables, wine grapes and flowers.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the sums due under the Lien. The estimated total unpaid balance at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is $7,866.69.

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 Association, 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 (844) 477-7869, or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM for information, using the file number assigned to this case: 20-10293. 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 (844) 477-7869, or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COMfor information, using the file number assigned to this case: 20-10293 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.
