What will the 2020-21 school year look like? District administrators are also giving students an online, independent study option in the new school year. Stage 2 allows schools to open in a modified manner after July 1, while Stage 3, still off in the future, allows for greater numbers of students to gather and congregate on campuses. Because of all the uncertainty, El Dorado Union High School District Superintendent Ron Carruth on May 26 sent an update to students and parents. In it he notes that the district still has plans to open school Aug. 10 and “to return this fall as close to normal as we possibly can and be safe at the same time. Unfortunately the state

Dawn Hodson Staff writer Last week parents of students attending El Dorado Union High School District schools were notified that while the district is working on a plan to reopen schools Aug. 10, the extent to which they open would depend on what is allowed under whatever stage the county is in under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan for reopening the state.

and (Centers for Disease Control) have not yet articulated practical guidance for opening schools. For example, how do students social distance 6 feet in a classroom? How can we hire more teachers in an economic collapse? Can we create student cohorts and alternate days to lessen exposure or bring students to school for less time each day? Does everyone need to wear a mask? Students? Staff? Optional or mandatory? How much local discretion do we have to decide? Again, we have not been provided with clear guidance from the California Department of Education or the state, but we will keep you informed as time progresses.”

The district currently has a team of teachers, classified staff, administrators and parents helping to develop a plan for how schools will operate in Stage 3, which combines students attending class on campus with some work done via distance learning. Updates will be provided to parents well in advance of the Aug. 10 start date. While traditional graduation ceremonies for seniors have been replaced with drive-by graduations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nonetheless the district is still hoping to hold more traditional graduations in July. n

Old Town Grill’s father-daughter team Genevieve Millward and John Sanders are prepping for another Friday night feast on Main Street, Placerville. The grill that gave now needs a little love back and that will be the mission this Friday in the ongoing Curbside for a Cause community fundraising effort.

Old Town Grill

ack in midMarch when all were ordered by California’s governor to shelter in place, to take their kids out of school, to close all businesses except those deemed essential — most people went home, locked their doors and hunkered down in worry. The immediate threat of the coronavirus pandemic appears waning but if you’re still worrying about what you should do, here’s some solid advice: Go see what John Sanders is doing and do that, as soon as you can. Sanders, owner and chief chef at Placerville’s Old Town Grill, on the very first day the stayat-home order became effective, stood with his daughter and co-chef Genevieve Millward in the wide-open doorway of their Main Street restaurant with smiles as bright as their scrubbedwhite aprons. Passersby were offered shouts of encouragement from the pair, “We’ll get through this together!” … “Don’t worry, our Lord will guide the way!” … even as not a single customer

That didn’t stop John and Genevieve, not for a moment.

Teaming up with the community

They put their heads together and, with the spiritual guidance that John makes clear is what anchors his life, they decided to not only keep their business going through these strange and scary times — they were going to try to help others do the same. Thus, the Friday “Curbside for a Cause” dinners that have benefitted groups like the MORE workshop,

The Ponderosa foundation’s Cindy Akin recalls how John and Genevieve jumped right into the fray. “With things beginning to close down, we brainstormed with John how we could still pull our fundraiser off … even if no one came,” said Akin. “The transformation to a n

Dylan Svoboda Staff writer El Dorado County’s coronavirus case count continues to tick up this week. County officials reported one new COVID-19 case Wednesday, bringing the total confirmed cases to 81. With two new recoveries the number of known, active cases is now 22. The county reported four new cases Monday and two new cases Tuesday. County health officials on Tuesday also reported one COVID-19 patient was hospitalized, requiring intensive care, but that patient has since recovered. The Lake Tahoe area outpaces the rest of the county with 28 residents testing positive for the virus. El Dorado Hills sits behind with 19 confirmed cases. The county reported 193 additional tests since Tuesday afternoon. About 5,865 tests have been conducted on county residents to date, according to data provided by the county. No residents are known to have died from the coronavirus in El Dorado County.

The Friday events have proved so popular that it’s difficult to negotiate Main Street from about 4:30 to 7 p.m. on those evenings, with solid lines of vehicles lining up and parking to partake of the week’s special offering — often served with contributions like specialty beers and wines from other local vendors.

“Our weekly parade down Main Street gives us a sense of connection, for which John and his crew can take credit — although I know they won’t; that’s not their style.”

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — El Dorado County lifted its nonessential travel ban Wednesday night, but officials stress the state’s order is still in place and visitors should still not travel into the Lake Tahoe Basin. “Because the state ban on nonessential travel supersedes the county’s, there is no material change in what people should do in regards to visiting Lake Tahoe,” said Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams. “I cannot emphasize this enough: people should not come to Lake Tahoe unless they have an essential purpose for doing so.” County officials cite sufficient testing and contact tracing capacity along with the ability to monitor COVID-19 indicators by a team of public health and hospital officials, said a press release. “The governor’s ‘stay-at-home’ order is still in place and clearly requires that residents refrain from travel for nonessential purposes,” Williams said. “I regret having to discourage visitors but traveling outside of one’s home community is still proving to be a major factor in the spread of COVID-19. A visit to one of our county’s and state’s most popular destinations for the purpose of a vacation, hiking, boating, enjoying a meal at your favorite Tahoe restaurant or change of scenery is still prohibited, whether or not there is a county-specific restriction in place.” The local order was issued April 3 primarily due

to concern about insufficient critical healthcare infrastructure and resources if a surge of COVID-19 cases were to occur. The basin is served by only one general acute care hospital, Barton Memorial Hospital, which historically has relied on other facilities for any necessary backup. Due to the pandemic, such backup could not be assured, said the release. The local order was extended April 29 and was to be reviewed every two weeks “El Dorado County residents have taken actions that continue to show a low number of confirmed cases,” Williams said. “Barton has done an excellent job preparing for a surge should it occur, the state’s order on nonessential travel remains in place, and continual consultation with Barton and other leaders from Lake Tahoe indicating support for rescinding the local order have led me to this decision.” The local order rescission also eliminates the urgency ordinance that the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved April 17, allowing for a $1,000 administrative fine tied to violating the order, with the exception of travel by homeowners to their second home. “Now more than ever, as the state begins to provide guidelines for additional industries and businesses to open, it’s critical that people take personal responsibility for their health,” Williams said. “The best advice remains current: stay home when ill for any reason, keep a minimum of six feet between you and others outside your household, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and frequently sanitize commonly-touched surfaces.”

CHP officers seeing traffic safety benefits as Californians stay home California Highway Patrol Press release SACRAMENTO — While Californians observe the stayat-home order during the coronavirus pandemic, the state’s roadways and those who use them are seeing the impact. With traffic volume down, the number of incidents on California’s roadways, including collisions and arrests for driving under the influence continue to decline. “People are adhering to the order, eliminating non-essential travel and as a result there has been a significant reduction in the number of commuters on highways,” said California Highway Patrol (CHP) Commissioner Warren Stanley. According to preliminary data from the CHP’s Statewide

Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there was a 75% decrease in the number of crashes in California this year from March 19 to April 30, as compared to the same period in 2019. The same SWITRS data indicated an 88% reduction in the number of people killed and a 62% decrease in the number of people injured in crashes. The total number of truckinvolved collisions also saw a 60% drop, with fatal truckinvolved crashes down 88%. California’s crash reduction rate is not the only positive to come from quieter roadways. The number of DUI arrests made by CHP officers has decreased during March and April from 7,224 in 2019 to 4,223 in 2020 — nearly 42%. Not all of the state’s drivers have been on their best behavior

during the pandemic. The open roads have led to a few brazen motorists testing the speed limit and eventually meeting up with a CHP officer for a citation. Between March 19 and April 30, CHP officers issued 2,738 citations for speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour — an increase of 46% from last year. “Resist the temptation to speed. Drivers are easier to spot when they are on a nearly empty roadway,” added Stanley. “Remember, taking care of one another goes beyond wearing a face covering and physical distancing. As communities in California move into the next phases of reopening, continue to slow down, pay attention to the road, drive sober and keep yourself and those around you from becoming a grim statistic.”

Leaders of El Dorado County nonprofits and members of the El Dorado Community Foundation stand united wearing “El Dorado Strong” T-shirts and hats that are being sold to benefit organizations that serve essential community needs.

‘El Dorado strong’ fashion to benefit local nonprofits Kevin Christensen Staff writer Nonprofits in El Dorado County continue to provide essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic despite fundraiser cancellations and other losses of funding. But one way the community can help is by sporting “El Dorado strong” shirts and baseball caps that are offered for a donation. For $20, get a stylish shirt or for $25, a ball cap, each with a “strong” message. 100% of all donations will assist the nonprofit the purchaser chooses. “The pandemic has taken a toll on a lot of local nonprofits that provide essential services to all kinds of people in the county,” said Susie Davies, chief executive officer of Mother Lode Rehabilitation Enterprises, a Placerville-based

nonprofit that works to empower individuals with disabilities. “Many of our major fundraising events have been canceled because of COVID-19 and they are our major sources of income, along with donations.” Bill Roby, executive director of the El Dorado Community Foundation, said the foundation has given about $300,000 so far to county nonprofits and he hopes the shirts and hats are something the entire community will rally behind to help vital nonprofits that serve so many. “This is really about helping these essential organizations survive this pandemic and we hope the ‘El Dorado Strong’ shirts and hats can help make up for so many fundraisers being called off,” Roby said. To order El Dorado Strong hats and T-shirts and donate to the El Dorado County Foundation nonprofit of your choice visit ssl.charityweb. net/eldoradocf/NPSF.htm.

Coronavirus antibody tests are now available Kevin Christensen Staff writer Testing is now available for people wanting to know if they have had COVID-19. To participate in the test, individuals must obtain a lab order from a doctor. Testing is offered at two Marshall Medical laboratories at 681 Main St. in Placerville or 3581 Palmer Drive in Cameron Park. A patient’s insurance carrier will be billed for the test.

In order to avoid a false negative people should wait at least four weeks after the onset of symptoms before getting blood drawn in order to give the immune system time to produce antibodies, according to Brittany Garcia, marketing communications specialist at Marshall Medical Center. The test will not reveal an active COVID-19 infection; presence of the IgG antibody indicates past

California Matters

Bill would close an intolerable loophole for schools

arly in his second governorship, Jerry Brown championed a major overhaul of school finance that, he pledged, would close the stubborn “achievement gap” that separated poor and English-learner students from children Dan Walters of more privileged circumstances. Restrictions were lifted on some forms of state school aid, dubbed “categoricals,” thus giving local school districts more flexibility in spending, and they also were given extra money specifically to help underachieving children catch up. However, the Local Control Funding Formula, as it was officially called, had some odd provisions, particularly what Brown called “subsidiarity,” which he derived from an obscure snippet of theological dogma. As Brown explained it, he would trust local educators to spend the money effectively on its purposes, without tight oversight from Sacramento — a principle he did not apply to other state-local programs, by the way. In practice, subsidiarity had two effects. It allowed school districts to loosely interpret whether the additional state aid met its intended purposes and absolved Brown of any political accountability for outcomes. The latter was expressed in his response to one of the lawsuits that ensued. Having given local authorities money to attack inequity in schools, he said, the state was not legally responsible for whether at-risk children fared better. In the absence of state oversight and accountability, civil rights and education reform groups, loosely gathered in an “equity coalition,” challenged the implementation of LCFF districtby-district, often via lawsuits, in attempts to ensure that the money was being used wisely. Little by little the patterns of neglect emerged in journalistic examinations of how the billions of extra dollars were spent, in academic studies and in a few official reviews. Late last year state Auditor Elaine Howle released a highly critical report on how school districts were spending LCFF funds based on detailed examinations of three representative districts. It decried the lack of accountability and was especially critical of one provision of the law allowing districts to convert LCFF funds unspent in one year into general revenues that could be spent for any purpose. Obviously, that’s a perverse incentive for districts to drag their feet on helping the at-risk students. “Until the state ensures that districts spend all supplemental and concentration funds to benefit the intended student groups and that they provide clear, accessible information regarding that spending … the intended student groups may not receive the services necessary to close the state’s persistent achievement gaps,” Howle told the Legislature. The report provided an opening for n

Letters to the Editor World Reef Day EDITOR: n June 1 every year is National Coral Reef Day. On this day businesses, the general public and some organizations take the time to admire the precious ecosystem that is the coral reefs. This day is coming up and it is not going to be the same for the communities around because of our world’s current state of emergency caused by COVID-19. The natural coral reefs are all dying off very quickly. States like Hawaii have taken action on this with new laws and organizations making a stand and doing something about it. The state of Hawaii put a ban on all sunscreen that is not reef safe and many organizations work to clean the ocean and replant the coral on the ocean bed. Normal for the day would entail food, communities being together, swimming and surfing together. This type of celebration is big on Oahu, Hawaii. The group that puts on the big party in Hawaii does what it does for fun but more importantly for awareness to save the dying coral. The group is called Raw Elements and its No. 1 goal is to save coral. By hosting this event for the whole community they are growing as a group and can do more. Everyone, when we go in the ocean we need to be respectful of the living creatures that live there and not kill their habitats by being unaware. Coral is one of the more beautiful and powerful things and we should fight to keep it that way. ETHAN JACOBSTEIN El Dorado Hills

Healers, not crooks EDITOR: t is usually easy to dismiss the innuendo and anger that characterize Larry Weitzman’s column. Not so when he maligns the nation’s caregivers and hospitals diagnosing and treating COVID-19 patients, particularly those patients on Medicare. Recently, Weitzman used the power of suggestion to try to convince readers that there is widespread fraud related to treating COVID-19 patients. He promoted the unsubstantiated rhetoric of a senator, Scott Jensen, who is preoccupied with the notion

that because there is a premium associated with COVID-19 treatment claims will therefore be, as Weitzman put it, “grossly exaggerated.” Given the aging demographic of our community, Weitzman no doubt thought that this notion would gain traction with readers as he tried to further politicize the COVID-19 issue. Has anyone demonstrated widespread fraud related to COVID19 treatment claims? Cynical conjecture is easy to generate. Evidence? Weitzman offered none. As we all know, there are always those who seek to enhance their fortunes through fraud, scams, tax evasion and the like. Honest citizens must always be vigilant and we must require strict oversight and auditing even during a pandemic that is certain to claim the lives of well over 100,000 Americans and many, many more lives worldwide. I support our medical professionals who are dedicated to battling this pandemic and who are putting themselves at great risk. I give them my heartfelt thanks. While gaming the system to make a few extra dollars will appeal to some, our caregivers deserve the benefit of doubt that their evaluations and claims of COVID-19 cases are as truthful and accurate as possible.

Washington needs to bail out California EDITOR: ov. Newsom said that with a stroke of a pen, the federal government could fix California’s budget shortfall. Everybody knows that the federal government has a pot of gold, constantly refilled by magic. And I have a lovely bridge for sale. So where does the federal government get its money? It can sell more of America to China, which is exactly what happens when it borrows money, and you don’t want to know how much of America’s debt is owned by China. Our grandchildren will still be paying it off. Otherwise, one way or another, the money comes out of our pockets. Because of California’s high cost of living and resultant high salaries, California pays a disproportionate share of federal taxes. When the

Prez. golfing for ‘We the People’ and brilliant ideas

olf was front and center in the news coming out of the holiday weekend. President Trump took exception to anyone who suggested that in less than four years he has already played golf more than President Obama played in the Chris course of his eight-year tenure. “Barack played golf all the time,” he stated last week. “Au contraire, Mr. President,” say the folks who do fact-checking. They score Obama with 98 games at this point in his first term. They score the current president at 248 (days or parts of days spent at a golf club). These figures were published last Monday. The numbers don’t tell the whole story, not even close. Whereas Mr. Obama went golfing and played golf, Mr. Trump fashions the widespread “belief ” that he goes golfing just to play golf. The fact-checkers need to

check their facts a little more often. In fact, the president does much of his best work at a golf club. If you think he came up with that “China ban” in the Oval Office, think again. Likewise, the decision to prevent most Europeans from entering the USA Daley wasn’t cooked up in the White House either. How to manufacture a legitimate pardon for Mike Flynn didn’t come to him in his bedroom in the middle of the night during his second round of cheeseburgers and fries. The China ban was born somewhere in the rough between the second and third hole at the Trump Doral Club near Miami. The Europe “wall” went up on the 16th tee (that is, he initiated it) at his Bedminster club in New Jersey. The Flynn gig occurred to him while waiting for a thousand-yard 3-wood shot to land on the seventh green at the Sterling,

Virginia, course. The president burnished his budding love affair with Kim Jong Un while driving a golf cart at one of his clubs in Scotland. It was almost lunch time and for some reason that made him think of North Korea’s Dear Leader, according to sources familiar with that tumultuous romance. The notion to create a university in his own image, as it were, arrived in his consciousness quite suddenly near the water trap at Doral. Now known familiarly as Fleece U, the notion interrupted his 9-iron chip to the green on the eighth. Regardless, he still recorded a 20-under-par round. President Trump invented the “Periodic Table of the Elements” long before he became president. It was during a rain delay at one of his resorts, he explained to the press at the time. He devised Scotch tape at the aforementioned club in Scotland, hence the name. The president celebrated after he drove the last snake out of Ireland at one of the better clubs on the

Emerald Isle. Some legends suggest that he actually brought the little guy from his Doral resort — South Florida being universally known for its awesome production of the serpent classes. No way! It really was the last actual native Irish snake, affectionally known as Liam. Sir Francis Bacon wrote most of the works erroneously ascribed to William Shakespeare. Not really. Donald Trump tweeted almost all of them from one of the many bathrooms at his Mar-a-Lago Golf Resort. At only a few characters at a time, it took quite a while to do all the longer historical plays but, heck, he doesn’t really have much else to do. Mr. Trump explained why he went golfing last weekend instead of staying home and completing work on his long-awaited COVID19 vaccine. “I haven’t been golfing since March 8,” he said, which should make everyone breathe a little easier, especially those without a mask.

Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat from San Diego who has been one of the state’s most persistent critics of LCFF’s shortcomings. Weber, an educator herself, sees it — correctly — as a fundamental issue of civil rights. In January Weber introduced Assembly Bill 1835, which would simply require LCFF funds to be used solely for the education of students they are supposed to help and not be diverted into general purposes, thus closing a yawning loophole that should never have been there in the first place. It’s one of the relatively few bills that legislative leaders are allowing to proceed in this pandemic-tainted year. “The poor always pay more,” Weber recently told the Assembly

Straight Line Construction announced the two winners of its home improvement giveaway May 15 at Wayside Lumber in Rancho Cordova. El Dorado County sheriff’s Sgt. Stephen Wunschel was the lucky recipient of a new deck worth $30,000 and El Dorado County sheriff’s deputy Tyler Pearson won a new garage door valued at $1,000 from California Overhead Door in Diamond Springs. Straight Line Construction owner Jack Borba and his team created the Nominate a Hero or Someone in Need giveaway opportunity, offering up to $125,000 in home improvement services for medical professionals, first responders, small business owners or someone in need of help during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Shingle Springs business owner launched

Education Committee. “Even in this pandemic they are suffering the most.” Indeed they are. Low-income workers are heavily impacted by the pandemic-induced recession and they and their children are the least able to participate in the computerized home schooling that was hastily implemented after schools were closed. The circumstances are likely widening the achievement gap, making educating poor children even more urgent and neglecting their schooling even less tolerable.

the giveaway at a $50,000 value and received interest from other local businesses and vendors, allowing the program to quickly grow to $125,000 in donated services in just less than 48 hours. “We quickly realized that this is a very challenging time for so many in our community and looked for ways our team could help give back and protect what matters — home and shelter,” Borba said. “Our company mission is to improve lives and we’ve always maintained strong partnerships with manufacturers, distributors and local partners, so we’re absolutely thrilled to bring this long list of partners together to help give back to the community.” Both Wunschel and Pearson worked with El Dorado County sheriff’s deputy Brian Ishmael, who was gunned down last fall when suspects opened fire at an n

The federal government lops off $30 for overhead costs and another $20 to subsidize other states and returns $50 to California. Sounds like a great deal to me. Don’t you think? COLTON MEYER Somerset

The tactics of smear EDITOR:

henever Mr. Garon writes a letter that has any reference at all to Republicans or the GOP you can just about take it to the bank the word fascist or a derivative thereof will be in it somewhere. To him the words Republican, GOP, conservative and fascist are basically synonyms, words that have the same meaning. Mr. Garon’s letter about McClintock, along with Mr. Garon’s spotty references to American history, is no exception.

The left is very adept at calling other people names that more accurately reflect their own behavior. Their favorite name to call opponents, fascist, is a great example. Just look at the violent demonstrations on college campuses that block conservatives from speaking. Look at the blackclad Antifas mobs, Antifas that supposedly stands for anti-fascist, vandalizing and violently attacking anyone who disagrees with them. A while back that group of “tolerant” people attacked a polite, young, conservative, gay reporter covering their demonstration and sent him to the hospital with a brain bleed. So much for tolerance. Just look at the reaction to attempts to offer a different viewpoint on college campuses and the videos of the Antifas hooligans rioting in the streets; compare them with the videos of Nazi Germany in the ‘30s and it will be easy to see who the real fascists are.

he Eldorado National Forest began reopening of some of its recreational sites mid-May. The U.S. Forest Service is increasing access to the Eldorado National Forest by “providing additional developed day use recreational opportunities Charlie with limited services,” state forest officials in their announcement of reopening. That’s a very important bit of the press release. Opening up the forest after winter closures is a complicated effort in normal times. These days it’s gone way past any sense of normal. While specified day use areas will be open, that doesn’t mean restroom facilities will be open or trash service in place yet. This also doesn’t mean that it’s time for a forest free-for-all. It takes time for facilities on the forest to get cleaned up, made safe and staffed-up. Depending upon whether the site is staffed by the Forest Service or Royal Elk, the concessionaire, cleaning, water, trash and safety issues still have to be addressed. Staffing is critical to these efforts. Eldorado National Forest officials

You do not go places just to be able to say you went, nor do you do things so you can tick them off your list. You bring every ounce of your attention to the current experience, inviting it to change you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be extremely content as you untangle a messy situation. This was caused by someone who is not as practical and detail-oriented as you. You could place blame, but you’ll give thanks instead. CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Not everyone will get it, only those who matter! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just as asking for money means you’re in need of it, when you try to conjure up a state of mind, it affirms the opposite state of mind from whence the request comes. Instead of asking, act as though it’s already granted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone has faults. Confidence is not ignorance of those faults; rather, it’s the acceptance of them and the assurance that no matter what happens, you have your own back.

As some students are immunocompromised or live with family members susceptible to COVID19, a distance learning survey is being sent out to students. Those students interested in an online independent study option will be able to indicate their interest in doing so although the school emphasized it is not asking for a decision at this time. The model to be used for distance learning is also being evaluated as to what works best for students and their families. The district intends to offer athletic, music, theater and all other extracurricular programs to the degree possible as approved by public health officials. Audience sizes

Plan well and be prepared with your own food, fuel and hygiene supplies. Practice social distancing. Stay safe. You’ll also have to practice ferris the Leave No Trace ethic. That’s more than a catchy phrase. It’s actually a national organization dedicated to educating the public about how to make minimal impact on forest lands. They are also known as the Center for Outdoor Ethics ( https://lnt.org ). Simply put, if you take it into the forest, take it out with you; know how to clean up after yourself and your pets.

may be limited but the district still plans to live broadcast, as much as possible, sporting events and performing arts events to the community. Students who opt in for distance learning/ independent study will still be eligible to participate in athletics at their school of enrollment. The high school district anticipates it will be facing “profound” financial reductions due to the COVID-19related restrictions that will impact its ability to transport students to and from school and events. Parents will hear more about these reductions in June once the State passes its budget. Earlier this month the El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees voted to lay off nearly two dozen classified employees in the coming months due

to an expected loss of approximately $7 million in state funding. Chris Morris, assistant superintendent of educational Services for El Dorado Union High School District, said because the situation is so fluid, they are planning for multiple scenarios on to how the schools will operate this fall. At the same time they are committed to ensuring the best educational experience for all their children. According to Morris, during the week of June 1 it’s expected the state will release guidelines on how schools are expected to operate this fall although that could change if the COVID-19 situation changes again. Additional details on how the district plans to deal with all these changes will be revealed in coming months.

illegal marijuana grow in the rural Somerset area, and each has been an essential first responder and hero during this COVID-19 pandemic. Nominees in four different counties (El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Sacramento) qualified to win weekly drawings through Straight Line Construction and Borba said the “stars aligned” that two El Dorado County peace officers were selected. “I really believe a higher power was in play,” Borba said. “With over a thousand entries for the drawing and for the two chosen to be peace officers in El Dorado County was incredible.” Another coincidence with respect to Wunschel and Pearson winning the awards was the week it happened — National Police Week. In 1962 President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

“Yeah, that just topped it off for us here. It was so random,” Borba added. “We could not believe it turned out that way, but these two men obviously deserve this and we are proud to give back to them. A lot of times peace officers get recognized only when something goes bad instead of honored for what they do good everyday for us.” Wunschel, a front line worker not just today with the COVID-19 pandemic but with everything from serving his country as a Marine in Iraq to working faithfully as an EDSO sergeant for 13 years to being a team leader with a local volunteer fire department, is a real hero, according to Borba. “Overwhelming is the first thing that comes to mind,” Wunschel shared. “I am so grateful to work for this county and the support they give the EDC Sheriff ’s Department.” Wunschel said his wife surprised him by telling him that that they were going to Wayside Lumber for a sale by appointment due to the pandemic. “My wife (Stephanie) suckered me,” he said. “We got there and I got this amazing gift by Straight Line

Construction and literally could not believe it. I mean I was shocked.” Deputy Pearson puts his life on the line every day for the county and is a foster dad to a 6-month-old baby. Along with his wife Jennifer, Pearson said he feels blessed and lucky to have won the garage door. “This community is so helpful and we feel grateful to be a part of it,” Pearson shared. “It’s really amazing and we are thankful to Straight Line Construction for this gift.” The surprise came at the exact right time. “Our garage happens to be broken and leaking right now, so the timing is perfect,” Pearson said. “It’s probably one of those things we would have put off forever.” Today marks the conclusion of the Nominate a Hero or Someone in Need giveaway. Straight Line Construction will announce the rest of the recipients at 3 p.m. at its headquarters in Shingle Springs. Remaining awards include a full roof, complete HVAC replacement, complete solar system and more.

Barbershops open requirements provided in the state guidelines for this industry.” Those guidelines were released May 26. Opening right on schedule in downtown Placerville was Bowtie Barber Shop — one of the hippest places in town to get a haircut and a place that’s a feast for the eyes. On Wednesday owner Bowtie was there as was fellow barber Slim Lewis who was busy cutting the hair of young boys long overdue for a trim. “We’re changing the world one haircut at a time,” joked Bowtie, who seemed very happy to be back at work Across the street at Elements Hair Salon, owner Gabe Harris prettied up a customer while she relaxed comfortably in a chair. Taking the usual precautions, both wore face masks. The salon also employs a sanitizing station and requires appointments to ensure social distancing.

Grill

Continued from A1

‘take-out’ fundraiser was tossed around — John caught the ball — and what a success.” Akin recalls how John Sanders worked with the Placerville Police Department to accommodate the steady stream of vehicles containing hungry, lonely, homedwelling customers intent on somehow getting out and enjoying a sliver of social interaction. That premier Ponderosa High fundraiser led the next week to “Friday Night Date Night,” as it was dubbed early on, and Akin said she has thoroughly enjoyed subsequent “Curbside for a Cause” outings. “My husband and I have not missed a Friday night,” said Akin. “We are both retired and since we are in ‘isolation,’ we don’t visit the usual way with friends and family. “Friday evening is the high point of the week for us. We know we will have an exceptional meal and that we are benefiting a local cause to boot. “Our weekly parade down Main Street gives us a sense of connection, for which John and his crew can take credit — although I know they won’t; that’s not their style.”

The cause

True to form, John Sanders said he is simply grateful that he was in a position to help others, with his food-service business one of those allowed to remain open. And while others have had to lay off workers regardless of operating under that “essential” umbrella, John said not one of Old Town Grill’s six employees have had to add their name to unemployment rolls.

“You know, we lost nine catering jobs that had been booked when this all happened,” reflected John, standing inside his restaurant Wednesday as daughter Genevieve prepped nearby just before opening that morning. “But we were lucky in that ‘to-go’ orders were already a good part of our business. “But it’s so much bigger than us, our being able to do this and help others — it’s listening to the good Lord’s prompting and knowing that together, we’re better.” He explained that the very next day after the stay-at-home order was issued, Placerville Vie Mayor Dennis Thomas was walking along Main Street, getting people together for a meeting to kick around ideas about how merchants could survive the pandemic’s thrubbing of the economy. “There were people from the county (government) there, too, all trying to find new ways of conducting business,” recalled John, whose arm then swept in a half-circle as he explained that where once the stools and chairs studding the warm, wood-paneled dining area up front seated a dozen customers — it now seats only four. “Back there, you can see the chairs stacked up,” he added, indicating the brightly painted dining room in the middle of the restaurant. “We’re seating most people out on the patio now; they seem to be more comfortable out of doors,” he said, referring to customers coming in as a result of the loosening just last week of some of the public safety dictates so that on-premises dining may occur. “But we won’t be seating customers

at the counter anymore,” said John, his trademark smile turning down slightly at the corners. “There’s not 6 feet of space from where we cook to the counter.” That hurts — chatting with the friendly, likable chefs as they worked their magic over your mushroom burger with jack cheese was as much a draw as the meal.

The grill’s turn

But things change, and John and Genevieve are still smiling — even though John readily concedes that their largesse in helping others has cost them a bit. As a result, this Friday’s curbside dinner will benefit what many see as a cause as worthy as any other — Old Town Grill will unabashedly be keeping the profits. “While we are grateful that we were able to stay open, with the continued support and loyalty of the community, it has not been ‘business as usual,’” John explained. He said some product costs in the last nine weeks have gone up by 34%, something obviously not planned upon, and that costs for necessary additional to-go containers have spiked 200%. “The good Lord chose the path for me, and we were able to stay open but this Friday we need to have it be for the grill,” smiled John. Lori and Doug Veerkamp will be there Friday, as they have been for the other Fridays since the virus tried to destroy the town. “I told John from the beginning that he will make it through this time because he thinks outside the box,” said Lori Veerkamp, who with husband

Doug make it a point of supporting the community they love. “The curbside dinners have been a huge boost to our community during such uncertain times, not to mention keeping his employees and suppliers going.” Placerville City Councilwoman Patty Borelli thinks so much of Old Town Grill’s efforts during the pandemic that she made a point of saying so just this week during the panel’s regular meeting. She later expounded on her enthusiasm, telling the Mountain Democrat, “I think John Sanders is the epitome of one terrific man. Yes, he has figured out a way to keep going during these trying times — but he is also helping to contribute to so many groups that have had their fundraisers canceled.” By making a swing by Old Town Grill on Fridays, Borelli said she is doubly satiated. “I feel like I’m helping the various causes as well as supporting John and his staff — and the best part of all, getting a great meal in return.”

Friday’s menu

This Friday’s great meal will be a choice of herb-crusted pork loin with a mushroom demi glace; or cabernet chicken stuffed with braised spinach, bacon and parmesan; or crab cakes with a red pepper aioli; or eggplant parmesan. All entrées include scrumptious sides and cost is $35 per person. Old Town Grill is at 444 Main St. John Sanders offered one more thought, addressed to the local community: “My heartfelt thanks … for your continued support … and especially your prayers.”

Emmy nominated Union Mine grad earns multiple nods for documentaries Kevin Christensen Staff writer

love for film has earned 2009 Union Mine High School graduate Spencer Bruttig some special recognition recently. The National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has issued three Emmy nominations to Bruttig. Winners will be announced at the formal awards ceremony in Bethesda, Md., on Aug. 8. The National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is a non profit, professional organization serving the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., television community. The academy’s goals are to foster creative leadership in the television industry, while encouraging artistic, educational and cultural excellence, along with technical progress. His Emmy Award is recognized as the industry’s benchmark for the recognition of television excellence in the region. “I feel deeply honored and proud of the Emmy nominations,” Bruttig said. “But, I am just a single person on a production team and without my colleagues these nominations would not have happened.”

Nominations

Bruttig was nominated for for three separate pieces producing and cinematography for “An Imperfect Union” a co-production between Facebook Watch and Tegna Media, as well as producing and cinematography for two short documentaries for the “HeartThreads” series “From the Streets of El Salvador to a classroom in D.C., this teacher is passing on worldly lessons through dance” and “Tattoo artist provides breast cancer survivors with nipples post mastectomy.” The Emmy nominee’s parents (Burke and Monette) moved the family from the Bay Area to El Dorado in 2002 for a slower pace of life and to be raised around nature.

Inspirations

“My parents are great storytellers themselves and they introduced me to films and history at an early age,” explained Bruttig. “I was making home movies with my sisters often building models and setting them on fire for different special effects starting around the age of 8.” Bruttig, also inspired by teachers at Herbert Green Middle School and Union Mine High School, said these formative years helped him to pursue his love of media and telling stories through film — taking video production classes at both schools. “One of my first public productions was in high school for my own candidacy in school government,” he shared. “I took an introduction to video production class at Herbert Green and later was involved with Diamondbacks Television at Union Mine High School. Both classes were awesome and definitely helped inspire me to pursue a career in film-making. All of my teachers and mentors were all creative, passionate, kind and pushed me to be better–pure class all of them.” After graduating from Union Mine, Bruttig was accepted to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he studied film and history. “There are a lot of occupations and hobbies that people can do in their life.

Giant shoulders retire from Sacramento Youth Symphony of Music for violin performance — where he also earned his master’s degree in orchestral conducting.

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” — Sir Isaac Newton

t is easy to take greatness for granted when you live with it in the hereand-now. It is only when those talented individuals retire that we suddenly realize what giant steps they took for their art. Case in point: The Sacramento Youth Symphony, founded in 1956, is one of the regional blessings for our young people. It cultivates musical talent, promotes love for music, advances a sense of unity and increases a student’s capacity for lifetime success. Our kids can explore what it is like to go from recitals hosted by their teachers to playing their instruments in a larger setting with a larger audience. And a real conductor. For the last 40 years, the nationally applauded Sacramento Youth Symphony was under the baton of Maestro Michael Neumann. It was a labor of love and personal sacrifice for a classically trained violinist with a sterling talent. He could have spent those decades in New York, London, Berlin or any number of international venues. Instead, he chose to remain in the Sacramento

Professional life Susan Laird The Arts area and to devote himself to grow the love of the performing arts in our area’s young people.

The early years Neumann was born in South Africa in 1948 to Jewish parents who fled the Nazi Holocaust from Berlin. They took young Michael and his brother to classical music concerts in South Africa where he discovered his love of music — especially Beethoven. His early violin instructor was Maria Neuss, the great-great granddaughter of the famous Czech composer Antonín Dvorák (18411904). The family immigrated to America in the early 1960s, eventually settling in San Francisco. Neumann continued to pursue his interest in violin at Lowell High School. A music scholarship to San Francisco State College (today’s SFSU) followed, then a full-ride music scholarship to the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory

After graduating, Neumann spent the next five years performing in the first violin section of the Birmingham Symphony in Alabama. He also conducted the Birmingham Youth Symphony. The move to Sacramento came in 1978 when he accepted the job of assistant conductor and violinist for the Sacramento Symphony. He took up the baton for the small Sacramento Youth Symphony a year later. By this time, a wife and children were a part of his life. Sacramento was their home. He could uproot them to advance his career or choose to take a different path.

Road less traveled Realizing that he could legitimately use the SYS as a stepping stone to advance his own career, Neumann chose a different career goal. He decided to grow the small youth orchestra into a regional powerhouse. That was his gift back to the arts. During Neumann’s tenure the SYS grew ■

best move ever for me,” he said. “The school was a God send for a creative misfit like me, it was a small campus in beautiful high country surroundings.” The peaceful, natural setting of the campus at its 7,000 foot elevation reminded him of Lake Tahoe where his family had vacationed frequently when he was young. “After rigorous daily studies, I had lots of time to play in the woods with other misfits. Plus it was a co-ed school, so my musical and love lives both blossomed at that time,” Woodward shared with a wry smile.

By the time he graduated from high school, he had little appetite for college, but a firm idea of where he wanted to focus his energies. “I was interested in playing music, studying religion and wandering around the country rather than getting a college degree,” he said. “After graduation, I (regrettably) sold my VW bus and headed for the redwoods, along with the Maharishi and lots of other hippies,” Woodward shared. “I tried my hand studying at a small college, but after a year, the vagabond troubadour in me had an itch to keep moving.” He embraced his traveling tendencies, making treks to Canada, Colorado, Florida, New York and the beaches, deserts, and mountains of Southern and Northern California. “The early ‘70s is kind of a blur to me. I was hitchhiking, traveling with friends and driving old cars that I often lived in,” Woodward added. “But I always had a guitar!” During those long days on the highway, he absorbed the songs of artists like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, the Eagles, America and Gordon Lightfoot and played them wherever he could get a gig.

J Woody plays with Southfork in the 1980s. “I was a vagabond on the move, so my tastes drifted back to the acoustic guitar to suit a traveling light lifestyle,” he said. “Playing those songs for an audience kept me in beer and gas money back in those days.”

Finding Pollock Pines

In 1974, Woodward found his way to Pollock Pines, where his mom lived and worked as a checker at the Safeway market. “I asked her, ‘Where the hell is Pollock Pines?’ She told me it reminded her of Lake Tahoe and Big Bear, and that the people were real friendly, so that was good enough for me.” Woodward soon became a mainstay on the local music scene, playing with the Rita Harris Band and the Dan Woody Clan. “When a new job left me no time for rockin’ out with my friends we brought in our friend Val Pease to replace me,” he said. They renamed the band The Lenzmen and they became very popular in the region. “They were a great band, Val, Danny Faria and the rest of them. We

remained good friends, and it was a blast to sit in with them on occasion,” he added. In the early ‘80s, Woodward and his long-time friend and bass player, Dennis Parrish, formed a new band called Southfork and developed their own notoriety, playing various local music venues and the El Dorado County Fair. In 2016, Woodward was invited to perform in the “Legends of El Dorado County” music concert at the county fair. “It was a great honor to be included and to play with all of those legendary local musicians who are also my friends,” he said. “But the coolest part was that it was Father’s Day, and my son Vance was there to cheer me on.”

Sharing a passion

In 2017, Woodward contributed an original track, “High Country,” to the “Songs of the Gold Country” community music project, which was re-recorded for his new album. He’s excited to release the new record, “A Long Way to Heaven,” to his current fan base, with hopes that it will attract interest from new fans as well. “I hope they like the rock beats, the country heart, the folk simplicity and getting to know the creative side of me,” he explained. “I tend to be a reserved person, but I love to share my passion for music with an audience and to draw them in with a song that touches your mind, heart or soul.” The tracks on the new record reflect experiences from Woodward’s life journey, as well as his musical influences. You can hear traces of Tom Petty, Neil Young and, yes, even Elvis detected in the songs, “Put Her Hand in Mine,” “Keep it Soft,” and “Really Wanna See You”

from just 55 members to more than 400 members from throughout the Sacramento Valley region. Thousands of young people benefited from his time, training and wisdom. Some have gone on to have professional music careers of their own. It is a tremendous legacy — and on Neumann’s retirement, a daunting one.

Taking up the baton Maestro Ryan Murray is an SYS alum and an award-winning conductor in his own right. He takes up the baton for the SYS Premier Orchestra for the next season. Murray is excited to follow in the footsteps of his beloved mentor. “I am thrilled and honored to be joining the SYS team,” Murray said. “As a young musician growing up in Sacramento, I was one of the many players to be inspired by my time in SYS. I am really excited to join the team and continue the fantastic work that

has been done by Maestro Neumann. I look forward to getting to know all of the SYS community and to all of the great music we will make together.” Maestro Neumann is a friend to many in our community. He is a frequent member of the audience at the Folsom Lake Symphony and I am sure he plans to continue his support of the SYS during his retirement. So, from the heart and on behalf of the arts community: Thank you, Maestro. Thank you for those years of practices and performances. For holding a high standard, yet always being willing to work with the young learner. For writing recommendations for students. For growing their talents. For showing them the way forward. For always being a friend. Happy retirement, Maestro Neumann. We look forward to seeing you with the rest of us in the audience for many, many more years.

respectively. “It was Elvis who lit me up as a young lad and the creative influences of America, James Taylor and Bob Dylan can be heard on this record as well,” he said. “The rockin’ tunes with a full band behind me may come as a surprise to those who have mainly heard me in acoustic mode.” The new record also reveals Woodward’s country and folk music influences on songs like “Find Another Woman,” “I’m a Cowboy” and the ballad “April.” Woodward gave kudos to the local musicians who played on various songs, including Fred and Cheryll Kent, Lisa Bond, Dave Wren, Danny Partain, Steve Schultz, Dennis Parrish and Larry Park. “I’m eternally grateful for the creative contributions of all the guest artists on this record,” he said. “And I’d like to give a shout out to Jamie Faw and Mike

Jones at Ravenwood Studios here in Placerville for all their efforts in the recording process.” He also lauded the musicians and supporters of El Dorado County who have been an integral part of his life and musical journey. “This community is so dear to me. We are a family of creative brothers and sisters and there is amazing musical talent in this area; I am fortunate to call many of them my friends,” he exclaimed. “And the venues and patrons who hire us to play, it is so important to support your tribe and they go above and beyond the call of duty.” When asked about writing all the songs for this record, Woodward said “songwriting is all about expression, our attempt to capture a feeling or an experience. Some folks inherent it in their DNA, but creativity can also emerge in the offspring of not-so-

All proposal forms, securities, and any other required documents shall be submitted electronically. NOTE: This is a condensed version of the Notice to Bidders. The complete Notice to Bidders can be found within the contract documents. LOCATION/DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK: The project is located at Historic City Hall at 487 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667. Project consists of constructing an interior shoring system to transfer the load of the building from its unreinforced masonry exterior west wall to the shoring, and constructing an exterior bracing system that prevents the wall from lateral movement. The bracing is intended to remain in place through a renovation process until the exterior west wall can be redesigned to handle the building’s loads and forces per code. There is an active tenant in the adjoining building (489 Main Street) that uses the first floor of 487 Main Street for art gallery space. The tenant will be moved out and not be using the space through the project schedule. The building at 487 Main Street was constructed in 1860 to serve as the City’s first Fire Station. It was in continual public use until 2005, and was leased in 2016 to Arts & Culture El Dorado as an art gallery space on the first floor only. The first floor of the adjoining building at 489 Main Street is currently occupied by their offices. The expectation is that once the shoring is in place, renovations to the building can commence.

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’s 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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-10081. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

located on the Belize- “We as good Guatemala border. citizens should, We literally hacked our way through of course, all be the jungle (and vigilant, curious and mosquito clouds) for 10 days. We stumbled somewhat skeptical across looted tombs, of information. illegal loggers But we also need cutting 200-yearold mahogany trees to remember that down and more Maya houses and structures there are real, passionate, caring than you would expect. Hundreds professionals behind of raised mounds the newspapers, reclaimed by the forest with untold radio, television relics of history in broadcasts and them,” he explained. social media videos “I also got the opportunity to spend we all consume.” eight days in Ghana, — Spencer Bruttig telling the story of a non profit soccer academy that takes the best and brightest kids, (that often come from true poverty) and provides them with an excellent education, room and board and elite level soccer training. Many of these kids go onto play in colleges around the world and several of them have become professional players.”

Still does homework

Bruttig explained he is professionally inspired by many different people and before any major project he watches a lot of what has come before to gain inspiration for the particular piece he is working on. A particular camera movement here, a musical cue or the way they lit someone over there. Arthur Edeson (cinematographer on “Casablanca”) is fantastic. His use of shadows to show space, soft and heroic lighting and just that opening camera movement through “Ricks Cafe”– just beautiful,” he added. “Peter Jackson (director) Andrew Lesnie (cinematographer) and Fran Walsh (producer) as the team that created “The Lord of The Rings” is perfect. Their casting, their lighting, their storytelling and the set they run–it seemed like a true creative team. I haven’t even remotely worked on a set of that size, but I try to be better by learning from from the masters–and their effort on “Lord of The Rings” is masterful.” In 2018, Bruttig moved to Washington, D.C., to accept a position at Tegna News Corporation, an organization that also owns Sacramento ABC News 10. He explained being involved in documentaries that often involve telling the stories of people who aren’t usually represented widely in media is extremely inspiring. “It maybe following a story of someone who went directly from foster-care to homelessness, only to get their degree and eventually adopt foster kids themselves. It maybe about a group of people on opposite sides of the political spectrum having a civil debate over reparation payments for the descendants of enslaved people. It maybe about a veteran who sponsors other returning vets’ journeys on the Appalachian Trail. These people are really impressive, overcoming hurdles and doing things that most of us would have trouble imagining.” Bruttig currently splits time between documentary production, short news pieces and podcasts at Tegna News Corporation. Listeners can hear his voice on their weekly true crime podcast called “True Crime Chronicles” which the Emmy nominee co-produces, writes and edits.

An adventure

“It has definitely been an adventure out here in the land of politics, but I wouldn’t give up the lessons I have learned or the professional experience I have gained for anything, except maybe a job on “Star Wars”...” Bruttig added he sees a disturbing trend in the world of journalism, news and media that he hopes changes. “I see a lot of vile and poison on social media decrying good journalism of my colleagues and even things I have produced as ‘fake news’ or propaganda. We as good citizens should, of course, all be vigilant, curious and somewhat skeptical of information. But we also need to remember that there are real, passionate, caring professionals behind the newspapers, radio, television broadcasts and social media videos we all consume. The vast majority of those people want to inform you with truth and knowledge and they are trying to do their best. Let’s be understanding, nice and care for our fellow persons, even if they have differing opinions and that includes in the online space,” he shared. The former Diamondback shared he feels “really fortunate” to work in the film production field and really tries to not take it for granted. “I try and get a little better with every project I am apart of and I always listen to the people on set that have more experience than I do,” Bruttig said. While Bruttig is grateful for the Emmy nominations and the current success he has achieved the former El Dorado County resident has his dreams set on larger horizons. “My short term goal is to direct and shoot my first two short narrative films from scripts I have written within the next two-three years. The Capital Region Emmy’s I have been nominated for this year are fantastic, but I want to shoot for a National Emmy and maybe if I am really lucky, snag an Oscar someday,” he said. The humble Bruttig’s priorities remain rooted in his upbringing in EDC when he said he appreciates the recognition and loves the process of film making but his favorite part of his career is the people. “I get to meet really interesting folks from all walks of life that give up their time to tell me about themselves and show me what they are all about,” he said. “You can often feel their passion and love for what they do and or believe in and that inspires me to be a better filmmaker and person.”
