EDC Fire gets ‘good’ PPC rating Eric Jaramishian Staff writer

Just in time for Memorial Day, county facilities worker Justin Sarns places new memorial bricks to be mortared in at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument May 26.

A ‘shocking’ answer

El Dorado County Fire Protection District’s public protection classification service rating from the Insurance Services Office will shift to Class 3 from Class 4, effective Aug. 1. Chief Tim Cordero shared the achievement with the El Dorado County Fire Protection District Board of Directors May 19 during its meeting at Placerville Town Hall. Cordero broke down how the district is rated in emergency communications, water supply, community risk reduction and the fire department itself. The lower the number, the better. A Class 3 rating is an achievement only 16% of other fire districts in the U.S. can claim, according to El Dorado County Fire officials. “This is a proud moment for the agency,” Cordero n

Cemetery tax sent to the grave Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A ballot measure that, if approved, would have implemented a $9 per parcel tax for El Dorado County cemetery maintenance, improvements and preservation will not make its way into the November 2022 election. Emphasis on other ballot measures and potential struggles to find support motivated the county Board of Supervisors to scrap the idea May 24. A stacked 2020 ballot prompted the county to push the measure to 2022.

“I too really value our cemeteries and their historical value, but I am also aware our El Dorado County voters and residents just don’t have an appetite for taxes and fees,” said District 4 Supervisor and Chair Lori Parlin during Tuesday’s board meeting. County leaders determined a coalition would need to be formed to garner support for the proposed ballot measure. Cemetery Advisory Committee Chair Michael Roberts told the board he is positive the parcel tax would be “resisted with great enthusiasm” not only by the Taxpayers Association of El Dorado

County but also the community at large. Supervisors agreed to focus on other ballot measures such as the one that would increase the Transient Occupancy Tax by 2% in the West Slope and 4% in the Lake Tahoe area. The money that comes from the Transient Occupancy Tax, paid by tourists staying in the county in any lodging facility, is in part used for road maintenance and improvements. “There will never be a good time to do this.

The MOST kind hearted person in the world. A hard working person that wasn’t happy unless he was fixing or doing handyman work and volunteering. He probably made the most money of any on his long time paper route. He scaled radio towers hundreds of feet above the ground. Then he worked and retired from the Buckeye Union School District. He loved karate and swimming as well as camping and fishing. He loved his neighborhood as he enjoyed decorating his home for Christmas and now it’s a must see street during the holidays.

Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent With April showers and the first half of May being mild, Operations Manager Dan Corcoran told the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors May 23 the “overall water supply conditions improved.” He added that the district was “well positioned to meet 2022 customers’ demands,” but was preparing for continued dry conditions during 2023 “if necessary.” One of the major improvements was Folsom Lake at 86% full. As of May 16 it held 837,000 acre-feet out of a maximum of 977,000. Because Shasta Lake is lower than normal, the expectation is that Folsom Lake will draw down more rapidly this summer. The district bought a backup $190,000 submersible water pump for its older access to Folsom Lake. The new access bult by Granite Construction has more reliable pumps. Alpine reservoirs that feed into Forebay Reservoir include Caples Lake at 97% full May 16, Silver Lake at 100%, Lake Aloha at 91%, Echo Lake 100% and Jenkinson Lake in the Sly Park Recreation Area at 81% full. Weber Reservoir is 100% full. Weber will be held back in case it is needed for release to Folsom Lake for the pumps to pick up that water right for delivery to El Dorado Hills in the summer. Currently the district has about 7,500 acre-feet of water from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in addition to 17,000 acre-feet of the district’s own water rights. “Local runoff into Jenkinson Lake continues to meet Reservoir A Water Treatment Plant demand,” Corcoran writes in his report. Other than the Reservoir A and Reservoir 1 water treatment plants, all canal water is being used to run the 22-watt powerhouse, which returns water to the South Fork of the American River. Despite full reservoirs and the ability to meet customer demand for 2022, the district remans in Stage 1 conservation alert, which means the district is asking for voluntary 15% water reductions. The message from Director Alan Day was to be sure that trees get water; don’t let the trees die. Corcoran’s report emphasized the importance of tree preservation as well. The State Water Resources Control Board has called for water savings between 10% and 20%. The board May 23 unanimously approved providing agricultural rate water to spray on a log deck of burned but salvageable timber at the old Camino mill site. A large portion of the water will be recycled back from a pond near the log deck. The log deck will stay about six months. It is holding overflow logs as the Sierra Pacific lumber mill in Lincoln is at capacity. Watering the logs preserves n

Mark Price retired from El Dorado Irrigation District after 18 years managing the water agency’s finances.

EID head of finances Mark Price retires Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent El Dorado Irrigation District Finance Director Mark Price retired May 6 after 18 years of budgets, handling bond sales and working with auditors and rating agencies. When interviewed May 2 he stopped to take one more call about his last bond measure, financing $71.5 million of unfunded pension liability. The rate was under 5%, saving the 7.5% that the California Public Employees Retirement System was charging for the liability. By buying insurance for this bond issue the district was able to get an AA rating. The final closing and sale was May 17, with details due at the May 23 board meeting. Price, a certified public accountant, has overseen $1.3 billion in bonds. The $1.3 billion bond figure includes the three utility districts he has worked for. Price began his career working for Price Waterhouse in Sacramento.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California Matters

Gov. Newsom’s electric car nirvana collides with reality

ov. Gavin Newsom and the California Air Resources Board publicly boasted about making great strides toward eliminating fossil fuels and their greenhouse gases. The board recently released “a draft plan Dan Walters that, when final, will guide the state’s transition to a clean energy economy, drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels, achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 or sooner, and significantly clean the state’s air especially in disadvantaged communities disproportionately burdened by persistent pollution.” Much of the plan is concentrated on transportation — particularly cars and trucks — which is the largest single emitter of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. “That means rapidly moving to zero-emission transportation, electrifying the cars, buses, trains, and trucks that now constitute California’s single largest source of planet-warming pollution,” ARB states. Newsom, meanwhile, crowed that with new state subsidies, sales of battery-powered zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) have exceeded 16% of all new vehicle sales so far this year, more than double the proportion in 2020. He also noted Californians make half of nationwide Gov. Gavin Newsom purchases of electric and the Air vehicles. Resources Board “Our state is on the frontlines of extreme are boasting about weather and we’re California’s shift taking aggressive steps to zero-emission to protect Californians from the costs of vehicles but the climate change — reality of making it transitioning away from happen is daunting. the big polluters fueling this crisis and towards clean energy,” Newsom said. “These incentives make it easier and cheaper to make that transition.” This year’s increase in electric car sales was, no doubt, spurred in part by a steep hike in gasoline prices, as well as subsidies — which poses an interesting dichotomy. Newsom has decried those fuel price spikes and wants the state to offset them with payments to motorists, which would reduce some of their motivation to buy electric cars. Moreover, were California to eventually ban sales of gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles and go 100% ZEVs, as Newsom also advocates, charging their batteries would impose immense new burdens on an electric power grid that’s already strained to meet demand. By happenstance, as Newsom and the air board were issuing their upbeat messages about the shift, a financial data website, Forbes Advisor, was revealing that California has one of the nation’s worst records on providing recharging sites for ZEV owners. Its study, drawn from U.S. Department of Energy data and numbers from all 50 states, found North Dakota is the nation’s most ZEV-friendly state with one charging station for every 3.18 electric vehicles. Wyoming, Rhode Island, Maine and West Virginia

Summary

See Walters, page A5

Letters to the Editor Left’s support of crime EDITOR: evin Kiley’s column pointed out what we already knew, that zero bail policies, sanctuary city and state policies and George Soros backed DAs who supported criminals at the expense of the honest promoted crime. But there is more that the mainstream media and the Democrats that control this state have successfully kept from the public. I will outline a couple of things that you might not have been aware of. First there were the initiatives that the-Gov. Jerry Brown backed to reduce prison populations. You were told that you were voting to release nonviolent felons from prison. What you weren’t told and what might have changed the vote was that the nonviolent determination was just based on the inmate’s last conviction. An inmate could have dozens of violent felony convictions but as long as the last conviction was nonviolent that’s how they were classified for release and released to prey on the public. What even fewer are aware of is the parole scandal. Most parolees were transferred from California Department of Corrections supervision to Probation under Post Release Community Supervision. Under PRCS it was common for a parolee to be arrested for being in possession of guns and ammunition, both felonies, and not get more time for the fresh felonies, not be sent back to prison to at least finish his sentence, but instead released back to prey on the public after a 10-day timeout in jail called a “flash incarceration.” With the left wing policies we have, a crime wave can hardly be a surprise to anyone. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Homeless crisis ... for how long? EDITOR: n April 19 the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors, led by Chair Lori Parlin, voted to declare a “homeless shelter crisis” in our beautiful county. By doing so, under the provisions of Assembly Bill 2553, Supervisors Parlin, Hidahl, Thomas and Novasel voted to disregard the voter approved General Plan, eliminate a public bidding process and create a double standard for enforcement of local land use regulations. Unlike the average El Dorado County resident who has to abide by all rules and regulations, homeless shelters will no longer be held to the same standards. District 2 County Supervisor George Turnboo is the only elected official to vote in opposition to this approach. Supervisor Parlin stated the Board of Supervisors would manage, with full transparency, the navigation center project. Yet it appeared the city of

Placerville was surprised at the locations selected and was not in favor of navigation centers close to schools, shopping and private residences. This is concerning and does not instill a vote of confidence that the supervisors are really partnering with the city of Placerville, Placerville Police Department or the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office. It is also disheartening that Supervisor Parlin would suggest a homeless individual would not respond when approached by a deputy from the sheriff ’s Homeless Outreach Team. The phrase “protect and serve” is the reason so many choose law enforcement. I don’t believe a sympathetic volunteer or social worker should be rated by Supervisor Parlin as more capable than one of our deputies from the Sheriff ’s Homeless Outreach Team, who have been positively addressing the struggles of the homeless for many years with care and professionalism. Supervisor Hidahl said, “We have to do something.” My hope is the word “crisis” will demand the urgency the word implies and the Board of Supervisors act in the best interest of the entire community. My fear is the supervisors will get the grant money they want and we will still be talking about this next year as we watch the tents on Broadway and along the highway increase and wonder where the money went and if there is still a crisis. CINDA WALTON Cameron Park

No more true words have ever been spoken EDITOR: n June 2, 1787, only days after the Constitutional Convention was convened, Benjamin Franklin offered his opinion about the question of paying legislators and executive officers of the federal government. He opposed the idea. However, his speech is relevant respecting the effect of power on public officials. It is a prescient and compelling warning about human behavior. (The Liberty Amendments, Mark R. Levin – 2013) “Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice, the love of power and the love of money. Separately each of these has a great force in prompting men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects. “Place before the eyes of such men, a post of honor that shall be at the same time a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it.

round out the top five. And California? It has the fourth highest ratio, just one station for every 31.2 ZEVs. New Jersey is the least accommodating to ZEV owners, with one station for every 46.16 electric vehicles. OK, so California is lacking when it comes to infrastructure needed to support the ZEV nirvana that Newsom and the ARB envision, both in terms of electrical power supply and sites to connect that power to electric cars. However, the situation may actually be worse. Again by happenstance, earlier this month brought us evidence that not only is California failing to provide enough ZEV charging stations, but those it does have often don’t work.

David Rempel, a retired professor of bioengineering from UC Berkeley, and a team of volunteers tested 181 public Bay Area charging stations with 657 plug-in kiosks and found 73% in working order but 23% had inoperable screens, payment failures or broken connector cables and in 5% cables were too short to reach vehicles recharging inlets. California’s much-vaunted shift to electric cars may turn out to be one of the state government’s many high-concept programs that become managerial disasters, another Department of Motor Vehicles or Employment Development Department.

Chief Tim Cordero presents a new public protection classification rating of the El Dorado County Fire Protection District at the fire agency’s Board of Directors meeting at Placerville Town Hall May 19.

told the board. “We’ve gone to that next tier of level of service.” There is potential for insurance premiums on structures within 5 miles of the district’s stations to be cut by 1%-2%, but El Dorado County Fire officials said they expect that since many other risk factors are evaluated when an individual premium is underwritten, this may not result in savings for everyone. “Our fire district is continually striving to improve and enhance the level of service provided to our communities and citizens,” states Cordero in a press release. “The operational changes and partnerships we have enacted have increased our abilities to ensure our firefighters’ safety. We are committed to continuing to pursue avenues that enhance our service delivery to the communities and citizens we are sworn to protect. “As the fire chief I am extremely proud of our fire district and the work of all our members, which has contributed to this reclassification and benefit to our citizens,” Cordero continues. The Insurance Services Office, a division of private insurance rating bureau Verisk, uses public protection classification ratings to review fire and water districts. The information is used to provide insurance companies information on property and casualty risk.

The district’s new rating is a result of improvements in emergency communications, engine staffing, training and community risk reduction. The district also saw a boost in its scoring for public fire safety education since its last review in 2015. El Dorado County Fire Protection District Board Chair Chris Swarbrick suggested communicating with other fire districts with a public protection classification of 1, such as the city of Los Angeles and Stockton fire departments, to get ideas on how to lower the district’s public protection classification rating even more. Cordero said dropping to a 2 rating is possible but the district will need to grab another seven and a half points to reach that goal. The district scored a total of 72.49 out of a possible 105.5 points for its Class 3 rating. “That is going to be a tall order,” Cordero explained to the board. “What really hurts us is our deployment analysis. If we could open four or five more stations, Class 2 might be in our reach but what really matters is our staffing and the number of firehouses.” The El Dorado County Fire Protection District provides fire and emergency services in Placerville, Shingle Springs, Pollock Pines, Camino, Pleasant Valley, Cool, Coloma, Lotus, Pilot Hill, Pleasant Valley, Strawberry and Kyburz communities.

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ambition and drive are cosmic gifts that sometimes can feel like a curse. You’ll do what it takes to make your plans happen as close to your imaginings as possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re well aware of the risks involved in a venture, which is why you prefer to be around the optimistic people who don’t mention danger at every turn. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If the needle of time were to go back to the beginning of the record it would still play the same song. There’s no point to longing, regret or wishing things were any other way than they are right now. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t always have the luxury of choosing what style you’ll receive your life in. Some things only come one way. The rarer a thing is, the fewer your options. All the more reason to appreciate this unique package. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not get the reaction you were going for because this isn’t a movie, and no one is following your script. Even so, roll with the improvisational moment and brilliance ensues. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While accidentally ignoring things is a recipe for disaster, ignoring a thing on purpose will be an effective tactic for the win. Neglect is an especially useful state when applied to unwanted things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A deadline looms. A decision must be made. Here are your choices: Do it well, do it on time or do it within your budget. Pick two. Only two are possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Friends point to your strengths, critics point to your faults and loved ones accept you for both. Unconditional love is real. You know this because you give and receive it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t stick to the recipe when you don’t have all the ingredients. Lack leads to invention. You’ll change it up and create something better for the challenge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You take on the issues of society like they were your own. It’s almost as though your connection to humanity carries a great weight of responsibility... yep. Now, why don’t the others seem to know this? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to have the necessary experience before you start. You’ll pick it up as you go, just as you always have. Each relationship teaches you something different. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Liking a person is one thing; the day-to-day of a committed relationship is quite another. No need to think too far into things, though. Relationship success is creating fun in one moment at a time.

Memorial bricks and stones may be ordered by veterans, family members or friends for any honorably discharged veteran (living or dead) at eldoradocountyveterans.org/memorials. Proceeds benefit the scholarship fund. Following Memorial Day ceremonies, all veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, and who had not previously been so recognized, will be invited to come forward to receive the nation’s official Vietnam War Veteran pin. In the pinning ceremony, the United States of America officially thanks pinned veterans for their service and sacrifices during the Vietnam War. A veteran need not have served “in” Vietnam, but only to have served “during” the war. Organizing Memorial Day ceremonies is the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance, a nonprofit charitable organization comprised of volunteer veterans and their families from El Dorado Hills to South Lake Tahoe who oversee the county Veterans Monument and raise funds to help veterans and their families. More about the Veterans Alliance is found at eldoradocountyveterans.org.

Presenting Memorial Day proclamations will be Theresa Gunn, deputy secretary of CalVet and representing California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin, representing El Dorado County. Since 2016, more than $50,000 in scholarships have been presented to the children of veterans from a fund generated through the sale of memorial bricks at the Veterans Monument and community donations. Presenting this year’s El Dorado County Veterans Monument Scholarships from the El Dorado County Veterans Coalition will be Meghan Buchanan. Emma Lopez, the daughter of a U.S. Army veteran, will receive a $2,500 scholarship. She plans to attend Folsom Lake College and California State University, Sacramento to major in nursing. The daughter of a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Danielle Jastrab, plans to attend San Diego Christian University to study biology; she will receive $2,000. Trevor Parson, whose father was a U.S. Navy aviator, was awarded $1,500 to study general business at Cuesta Community College and Kentucky University. The Veterans Coalition has also awarded its Sky Mote Scholar Athlete Scholarship to Ponderosa High School senior Natalie Wieland. She will receive $2,500 to apply toward her enrollment at University of California, Davis to major in biological systems engineering. Recipients of the Sky Mote Scholarship must have competed in cross country, in addition to meeting other criteria. The scholarship commemorates Staff Sgt. Sky Mote, USMC, a graduate of Union Mine High School who was deployed in 2012 as an explosive ordnance disposal non-commissioned officer with Marine Special Operations Command when he was killed after courageously using his body to shield teammates from the attack of a uniformed Afghan police officer who had opened fire on the Marine Raiders’ team tactical operations center. For that heroic act, Mote was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, second only to

decontamination. For example, if coming from Lake Mead or Havasu, a free inspection and decontamination would help alleviate the risk of introducing quagga or zebra mussels into regional waters. For pristine waters that have no invasive species, such as Echo Lakes, Angora and Fallen Leaf lakes, even Lake Tahoe is considered a threat from the Eurasian watermilfoil, curlyleaf pondweed and Asian clams currently found there. Decontaminations prior to using non-motorized watercraft in pristine waters help keep them pristine, and, as always are prioritized and free at watercraft inspection stations. If watercraft is large enough it 275119 needs to be on a trailer, then it will need to be inspected. This does not apply to basic utility trailers. After the inspection, watercraft will get a free non-motorized Tahoe In & Out sticker. Efoil or electric surfboards with an electric or gas-powered motor need to go to an inspection station.

LAKE TAHOE — As summer in the Tahoe Basin begins to ramp up, boating does as well. Most boaters know their vessel needs to be inspected at a watercraft inspection station prior to launching. The “clean, drain and dry” protocol is universally seen and understood throughout the region. The process ensures no new aquatic invasive species are introduced to the lake — and none have since inspections began in 2008. Non-trailered, non-motorized watercraft are not required to have an inspection but “may be subject to inspection prior to entering the waters of the Lake Tahoe region if determined necessary” (TRPA Code 63.4.2) depending on the posed risk. If coming from a water body that is deemed high-risk for the spread of invasive species, boaters will be directed to an inspection station to get a free inspection and possible

Placerville office. “Our goal is focused on keeping our residents and folks traveling through El Dorado County as safe as possible.” To help keep everyone on the road safe the CHP Placerville office will participate in the CHP’s statewide maximum enforcement period. The enforcement period begins Friday, May 27, at 6 p.m. and ends Monday, May 30, at 11:59 p.m. More officers will be out than normal and they will focus on aggressive driving, driving under the influence and the proper use of seatbelts. “There’s still folks out there not buckling up,” Hatfield said.

During the 2020 Memorial Day weekend approximately 78% of people killed in a crash within CHP jurisdiction were not wearing a seatbelt, according to the commander. Throughout the state there was on average one DUI arrest every five minutes and 18 fatalities. The CHP Placerville office reported nine arrests on the West Slope in 2021 with five of them being for DUI. In total there were 17 crashes. Hatfield said travelers should plan ahead, make safety a priority, be patient, designate a driver and include emergency supplies like water and food if necessary.

time given the economy and given our TOT measure that has come first,” District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said during discussion. “If there are too many ‘asks,’ people will be inclined just to say no and we have to address our roads.” County staff agreed now was not the time to try to pass such a measure, leaving the question on how the county could better handle its 17-county owned cemeteries. Taxpayers Association of El Dorado County President Andy Nevis spoke during public comment and recommended the idea of having community volunteer days for cemetery clean up. “Not only would you be able to get some people to clean the cemeteries and get them in respectful conditions again, but if you show people where the cemeteries are and have them involved with taking care of them, they are going to be more likely to support a solution in the future,” Nevis told the board. Parlin also suggested having volunteer days where county staff can get involved.

Weeds are overgrown at county-owned Placerville Union Cemetery on Bee Street.

Thomas, referencing Placerville’s own voluntary cemetery cleanup day, said while voluntary cleanup days work to a degree, she would rather see guaranteed funding for staff to properly maintain cemeteries. “We also need some flexibility in our cemeteries,” Thomas said. “If you think about it, it is seasonal work. There’s probably a lot of effort in the spring that is needed but not as much the rest of the year. We need to figure out what that looks like in order to maintain our cemeteries appropriately and effectively.” District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo said the Frenchtown Cemetery, a Gold-Rush era cemetery, has an association that cleans the cemetery a few times each year and recommended reaching out to other volunteer groups to help. “Maybe they can help clean our cemeteries without the burden of cost to all these people,” Turnboo said. The vote to strike the proposed ballot measure was unanimous, with the understanding that the conversation needs to continue regarding cemetery maintenance.

create Gold Country artists’ masterpieces D. Lee Reyes Gold Country Artists Gallery

old Country Artists Gallery, an awardwinning artists’ cooperative in Placerville, features the work of Lorrene Baum-Davis, Beverly Austin and Chris Knopp in May.

Wearable art Baum-Davis always loved being an artist and she found jewelry making a deeply satisfying expression of that love. Her mother opened the way to the ceramic arts for her and her father taught her how to work with metals, welding and working a lathe. She subsequently attended the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, where she classically trained as a goldsmith. In the mid-1990s Baum-Davis learned about polymers and metal clays. The malleability and permanence of these materials appealed to her. Sharing her passion, she taught classes and was named master instructor for several art clay organizations. In addition, she authored an instruction manual titled “Setting Gemstones in Metal Clay.” Baum-Davis creates her uniquely beautiful earrings and pendants by folding art clays and polymers into intriguing patterns. She next melds them with metal and fused glass to produce fascinating, organic and geometric patterns, textures and colors. Baum-Davis used polymer clay to replicate nature for her necklace “Faux Labradorite Beads,” a chain of marble-sized blue, gray and brown orbs that mimic the mineral with its complicated cleavage and inner iridescence. Each bead is unique, giving the necklace an illusion of weight, but it is

“The Plains at Sunset by Beverly Austin amazingly light — a rare and striking piece of wearable art. She names her one-of-akind sets to reflect the essence of what she creates. Her “Brilliant Suite” is unique with wild patterns and primary colors simulating the palette of an abstract artist. “Ocean Waves” swirls with frothy whitecaps and her nearly translucent “Bluegreen Leaves” sparkle with the cool colors of teal and ultramarine. Her jewelry inspires the imagination, where one person sees fairy wings, another sees a waterfall. Some almost look like the contours of a continent and another reminds one of an artist’s palette. Some pieces seem inspired by geology, with crystalline structures like those found within the earth, and some of her jewelry appears to be taken directly from a deep space nebula bursting with stars and color, all within the

tiny space of an earring or a pendant. The uniqueness and the excellent quality of each piece elevates Baum-Davis’ awardwinning jewelry to the level of fine art.

Past, present and future Austin believes we are all connected to the universe through nature and light and her use of oils and acrylics describe the wonder of scenic and astral landscapes, the physical and spiritual realms and the ethereal sensations of the world as she perceives it. She reasons that the timelessness of nature reflects the past, present and future. Austin lives at the center of that timelessness in one of the most beautiful wooded areas of the Sierra Nevada, surrounded by astounding natural beauty. However, it’s a traditional scene that Austin portrays in her painting “Old Barn,” executed with tints of gray, an ancient tree beside it offering a sense of enduring strength and connection to the land. Another barn is set in the midst of “Dancing Shadows” — its roof glowing beneath clouds alight with the goldenreds of the setting sun — flirts on the edge of something dreamlike. In yet another scene, Austin presents the “Plains at Sunset,” featuring a barn standing witness to nature’s grandeur, dwarfed by a sweeping sky filled with epic clouds and a glowing landscape of molten gold. Austin’s personal connection to mountains is beautifully illustrated in her

interpretation of the Yosemite Valley in the fall, with its iconic views of El Capitan and Half Dome. Those majestic peaks frame the river, her skilled brush conveying its deep, transparent fullness broken by reflections of imposing stones glimmering on the calm surface. Austin’s interpretation of a “Yosemite Valley Sunrise” feels like waking to a morning of heavenly light as the sun gently kisses mountain, stone and water. Austin brings an ethereal quality to her otherworldly imagery and she delights in setting scenes against skies that vibrate with vivid colors, glorious cloud formations and mysterious hollows hidden in misty shadows. She takes the viewer into her wondrous imagination within her paintings “Paradise on Earth” and “Sacred Secret.” Gazing into these images, the viewer feels transported to a place of peace and tranquility, a more empyreal plane. Austin is inspired by the reaction she receives from viewers’ reactions to her art. “I’d love for people to look at my work and be inspired to share their own sense of wonder with others,” she said. This is her subtle genius.

I would that she did. Every night, upon every pond, ocean, lake, and puddle the bleached, arid, and denatured moon paints in watercolors. She is an impressionist, she draws, mixes, stippling together Misty, atmospheric blues Smokey flame yellows, and all the Blood reds.

DRAWING WATER

Drawing, What the thirsty moon does to water,

Friday, May 27, 2022

On every liquid, rippling canvas of earth she draws and paints. Does she draw me? Would she weep to draw me to her if she could. Would she rain an ocean of tears from her dry, deserted eyes and paint the earth with her weeping if she could?

Fair

Continued from B2

four-day event, working in security (must have valid guard card), guest services, parking and maintenance. The maintenance positions begin June 1; the rest of the positions are for the four days of fair. It’s a great way to get out, see friends, make new ones and make a little money in the process. Many folks in the community had their first job at the fair; if a youngster can obtain a work permit, they can work at the fair. Applicants can download an employment application from the fair’s website or pick one up at the fair office.

Enter the fair The entry guide is on available online or in the fair office. There are so many options for entering the fair — painting rocks, photography, preserving food, home-spun wool, quilting, flowers, succulents ... the possibilities are almost endless (all entries must be family friendly). It is always fun to come to the fair, check your entry and possibly see a blue ribbon attached to it. Enter one of the contests. From funnel cake eating to rock climbing, there are many fun contests. Two of the biggest contests occur in the grandstands. On Saturday contestants line up in their appropriate age categories and compete against each other, pushing a wooden wheelbarrow

filled with sand over obstacles, through a water pit, up over hills and compete for a cash prize. Contestants can sign up at eventbrite. com/e/2022-studebaker-wheelbarrow-racestickets-259536830647 or stop by the Fair office. On Sunday off-road enthusiasts can try their skill on “The Rubicon Challenge.” The obstacle course is designed by Jeepers Jamboree to simulate real obstacles one would encounter on the Rubicon Trail, including a Challenge Hill. There are safety requirements, such as fire extinguishers on board, helmets, roll over protection and working brakes. To register for this competition email rubicontrail@edcgov.us or fair@ eldoradocountyfair.org. There are many other fun contests at the fair — the Father-Child-Look-Alike contest, Not So Newlywed Game, Best Friends Challenge, Father Knows Best, etc. Check the fair schedule for times and locations. The best part of the fair is attending — viewing amazing exhibits; shopping; noshing on fair food; listening to four stages of music; checking out livestock; watching a unicycle riding fire juggler; and, of course, the exciting carnival rides. The fairgrounds are located at 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville. For more information about the 2022 El Dorado County Fair call (530) 6215860, email fair@eldoradocountyfair.org or check out the website at eldoradocountyfair.org.

experience. He explained the challenge of freeing himself from “the boring constraints of staying between the lines.” Knopp admitted that while watercolors can be a tricky medium to control, “The randomness of the medium forces a painter to work with the surprises that occur, the outcomes not entirely predetermined and the learning never stops.” Knopp loves the fluid style of watercolorists, which inspired him to learn how to paint with that medium. He has painted continuously since retiring from his career as a hydrologist, mastering the sparkling colors and flowing quality that distinguishes his work. He favors the loose, drippy look of watercolors and the emotions he can portray with them. “The looseness seems to embody my style and definition of art,” he explained. Knopp is a master of telling stories with the scenes he paints, often capturing quiet moments like the stillness in the eye of a storm. In “Dog Day Afternoon,” a dog, seeming to want to get home before the next downpour, makes its way across a deserted alley between houses, beneath leaden clouds. With a subdued palette, Knopp implies a weather-beaten, rather shabby but lived-in neighborhood — a place where that dog calls home. In a rather unusual choice of subject matter, Knopp presents “Sea Foam.” Beyond just

“Dog Day Afternoon” by Chris Knopp a wave rolling onto a sandy shore, he focuses on a phenomenon that results from particles and agitation in seawater. He captures the foamy nature of the substance with skillful use of light and texture, his masterful placement of shadows implying bulk and the wildness of the weather and the sea creating the backdrop in which Knopp again contains a momentary calm between storms. In his portrait of “Camp 18,” Knopp captures his fascination of interesting machinery in the details of old logging equipment, a tractor left to its rusty glory in front of a ramshackle hut. Keeping with the theme of water in one of its many forms, Knopp painted “Steam Power,” focusing on the patterns of the mechanisms within a steam engine, suggesting rust and age with color and texture, thereby sharing his appreciation of the engine itself. Knopp said he enjoys painting people. “It’s easier to elicit the emotion of a scene if there’s a person in it,” he explained, hopeful

that his pictures will encourage feelings and memories with viewers similar to what he feels when he creates a painting. In a fascinating scene titled “Dominoes,” Knopp presents a group of comrades sitting around a table on a sunny day, playing the game. The table set in the center of the street suggests the feeling of a smaller world, a neighborhood of old friends and Knopp’s loose brushwork and palette of sepia tones create the impression of life in a simpler time, a nostalgic one a viewer might also enjoy being a part of.

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.

The report is intended to supplement information previously provided to the public in the 2019, 2020, and 2021 Annual Water Quality reports, which are available on EID’s website at www.eid.org.
