Heroes honored in Memorial Day ceremony John Poimiroo Special to the Mountain Democrat El Dorado County honored those who fell in combat in a virtual ceremony broadcast Monday on Comcast Cable Channel 2 and streamed across Facebook.

The ceremony marked the third successive time a ceremony at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument was pre-recorded instead of live due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

In Monday’s remarks El Dorado County Veterans Alliance President Gary Campbell noted the day as being “set aside for all to honor and recognize those who fell serving our great country. Extraordinary bravery under dire circumstances is also deserving of recognition on this day of remembrance … to be remembered for generations to come.”

They did it!

Redistricting website has launched News release El Dorado County has launched a new website to educate the public and solicit input about the process that occurs once every 10 years following the census count to redraw electoral boundaries more evenly.

The website, found at edcgov.us/ Government/Elections/Pages/County-of-ElDorado-Redistricting.aspx, includes a timeline, an FAQ, a list of public meeting dates and locations, a tool for the public to be able to draw their own maps and ways to get involved.

“Since these district maps “… input about determine which what those areas will be grouped together boundaries look for the purposes like from the of electing a people who will be member of the Board of impacted by them Supervisors, the is critical.” input about what those boundaries — John Hidahl, chair of the look like from the Board of Supervisors people who will be impacted by them is critical,” said Board Chair John Hidahl.

“We’ve built a public engagement process that will allow people to participate in a variety of different ways in a short period of time.”

The Board of Supervisors must adopt final maps no later than Dec. 15.

“This website is one way for county staff to engage the public about the importance of redistricting, how to get involved, information about community meetings and other information to help complete the redistricting requirements and adopt new boundaries on time,” said Hidahl.

Public workshops about redistricting, the process, mapping tools and other information will take place through the rest of the year.

The first public meeting is scheduled at 9 a.m. Friday, June 4, via Zoom. Links to the meeting will be posted on the new website under the “public meeting” tab.

“This is a great opportunity for the public to be meaningfully involved in a once-in-adecade effort that will shape the way they’re represented,” said Hidahl. “We urge everyone to participate and have their voice heard.”

Daniel Morrill

Dan’s gentle soul peacefully left us Dec. 8. Dr. Morrill was a graduate of Colorado State University, Fort Collins and the University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry.

At one time he owned Folsom Optometry Center and Precision Eyecare in Placerville.

He was very thankful to all who helped him in his vision to transform the old gas station on Main Street in Placerville into his Precision Eyecare office. Patients will remember Dan and Ellen’s beloved golden retrievers who were often greeters at the office. Dan was so honored by all the patients who chose him to be their eye doctor over the years.

Mid career Dan spent 11 years providing eyecare to Alaskan villages, traveling via float plane, snow machine and even dog sled. Those years defined Dan’s caring spirit, willing to help and have an adventure.

Music was in Dan’s soul. He was a trumpet player from early on, enlisting his back alley neighbor Mr. Romeo (a member of the Denver Symphony) to give him lessons. In college Dan was a member of the elite brass section of the Colorado State marching band. His love of classical organ was the first connection he had with Ellen, they married while attending UC Berkeley. Dan will always be a part of those he loved; his wife and soulmate Ellen; sisterin-law Jane; parents Ed and Lorraine, parents-inlaw Kingston and Louise; brother Ken and sisterin-law Susan; sister Lori and brother-in-law David; brothers Mike, Rick and Ed; niece Kasey; nephews Ryan, Drew and Michael and Soul brother Brett Perkins.

to 700 gallons of water with a capability of pumping 2,000 gallons per minute. In addition, it comes equipped with an auxiliary pump, used for pump and roll operations. “A great tactic on wildland fires,” added Gaines.

“It has a full set of hydraulic extrication equipment, air bags, water rescue gear, rope rescue gear for both, high and low angle rescues.”

Engine 88 will be staffed with paramedics 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The 2006 Smeal Spartan will be used as a reserve fire engine at the Cameron Park Fire Department.

Cameron Park Community Services District has a cooperative agreement with Cal Fire to provide fire protection within the district.

Cameron Park Fire Station 88, located at 2961 Alhambra Drive added a sparkling new Engine to its fleet. Engine 88, a new 2020 Smeal Spartan type 1 fire truck replaced the old 2006 Smeal Spartan.

Cal Fire Battalion Chief Jed Gaines explained that the new Smeal is specifically designed for structure firefighting and wildland firefighting in the urban interface, perfect for fighting fires in the Sierra Foothills.

“It’s shorter wheelbase and steeper approach angels that allows us to get into tighter areas within El Dorado County,” Gaines shared.

Army veteran Leonard McAdam, left photo, leads the flag procession representing all branches of the U.S. military, the local Military Order of the Purple Heart chapter and the Civil Air Patrol at the pre-recorded Memorial Day ceremonies at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville. President of the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance and Air Force veteran Gary Campbell, at left in right photo, introduces Tyler Jacobs, center, and retired U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Lucero, right. Tyler is the son of the late Paul Jacobs, retired Navy captain and commanding officer of the USS Kirk. Traveling from Las Vegas for the ceremony, Lucero served as an enlisted E-6 sonar technician under the command of Jacobs during rescue missions in Vietnam.

Heroes

Continued from A1

In one of the six combat tours he served during the Vietnam War Jacobs was awarded a Bronze Star for heroism while commanding a destroyer. During that incident he steamed toward an enemy battery that was firing at his ship in order to place accurate fire on the target and minimize collateral damage. The enemy battery was destroyed.

Though, it was his last action during the Vietnam War as commanding officer of USS Kirk that enshrines him as leading one of the most significant humanitarian missions in U.S. Military history and marks his place as one of El Dorado County’s greatest heroes.

During Operation Frequent Wind, which extracted U.S. military forces and civilian personnel from South Vietnam in the war’s closing days, Jacobs, on his own initiative, encouraged fleeing South Vietnamese Air Force helicopters loaded with refugees to land on his tiny ship, thereby rescuing those aboard 12 helicopters.

Adm. Donald Whitmire (U.S. 7th Fleet) then told Jacobs, “We’re going to have to send you back to rescue the Vietnamese Navy.

We forgot ’em. And, if you don’t get them or any part of them, they’re all probably going to get killed.”

In what followed Jacobs and the USS Kirk headed south to Con Son Island where they found 32 antiquated and defenseless ships crowded to their mast tops with more than 30,000 refugees. Jacobs sent his officers and petty officers to the ships to assess their material readiness before attempting a harrowing escape from Vietnam across the South China Sea to the Philippines. He oversaw the transfer of refugees from sinking ships to stable ones and got the fleet ready to sail.

Unexpectedly,

Commodore Donald “Pete” Roane of Destroyer Squadron 23 ordered the USS Kirk to leave the Vietnamese Navy and break away to be refueled. With Admiral Whitmire’s words still ringing in his ears, Jacobs ignored the order, claiming the USS Kirk was in the middle of an evolution that prevented the ship from refueling. Historians, the Navy biographer who wrote “The Lucky Few” about the incident and numerous documentaries describe Jacobs’ actions as “heroic.”

Tears of pride and loss streamed down the face of Tyler Jacobs, son of the Navy captain, as a bronze plaque honoring the brave acts was dedicated during the Memorial Day ceremony. While dedicating the plaque in honor of Capt. Paul Jacobs and the crew of USS Kirk, Campbell entreated, “To all those present, bear witness that what they did will forever be remembered and memorialized here as one of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments in U.S. military history.”

The ceremony used

aboard Navy ships when dignitaries depart followed. A Navy captain commanded, “Pass the word! Lay to the quarterdeck the side boys!” Then Capt.

Paul Jacobs’ plaque was carried by Navy and Marine Corps veterans as if the war hero was leaving his ship one last time. They passed through a phalanx of sideboys formed from local U.S. Air Force, Space Force, Army and Coast Guard veterans, with all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces honoring the legendary naval officer.

As the plaque passed through the sideboys all saluted and Lt. Cmdr. Dan Lucero (who served on the USS Kirk with Jacobs) rung a ship’s bell that had been on the rescued Vietnamese warship HQ6 while reporting “Kirk departing.”

Veteran U.S. Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Rich Todd then blew the traditional naval call “Over the Side” on a boatswain’s pipe as the Navy captain symbolically passed over the side one last time.

Closing the ceremony Tyler Jacobs joined Sgt. Joe Coca, an El Dorado

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

IS THE AIR AFFECTING YOUR MOUTH? We can do a lot to maintain healthy, strong teeth and gums, such as keeping them clean by brushing and flossing twice a day and keeping our dental check-up appointments every six months.

Once we step out of the house, however, we are vulnerable to the effects of our environment, and so are our mouths. A recent study has shown that people who are exposed to poor air quality are more likely to develop mouth cancer in spite of good dental hygiene. This is because higher levels of particulate matter are breathed in through the mouth. Particulate matter can contain heavy metals (especially in areas with petrochemical plants), which are known to cause cancer.

Our many years of experience have taught us that prevention is a key factor in maintaining good oral health as well as overall health. If you are new to the Placerville area and are looking for a family dentist, we would like to extend a welcome and an invitation to visit our office. We know how difficult it can be to find qualified professionals without reliable references.

However, we feel that with our approach and our commitment to excellence, we have something unique to offer. Please call for an appointment.

P.S. Oral cancer is one of the few known cancers whose numbers continue to rise, growing by more than a third in the last decade.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

56% of employers say COVID benefits are discouraging people from accepting work United Chamber Advocacy Network employer survey finds 80% of local businesses are hiring but are having difficulty filling open positions

An informal survey of 162 local employers conducted by UCAN – the United Chamber Advocacy Network,

found that as the economy surges back to life, employers have plenty of jobs available but are having extreme difficulty filling them, with over half saying that prospective employees are choosing to accept state and federal COVID relief rather than accept a job.

“At a recent job fair, we heard from our members that they were having a tough time filling open positions,” said Marni Sanders, CEO of the Yuba Sutter Chamber of Commerce. “So, working with our partner chambers through UCAN, we decided to dig deeper and broader and find out why.”

“What we found in the survey echoes what we were hearing from our members…..in effect, the state and federal governments are competing with local businesses for people.”

“Reopening California’s economy and rebuilding small businesses is the top priority for the UCAN chambers in 2021,” said Dave Butler, the coalition’s policy advocate, ”and the inability to fill open positions is a huge barrier to local business owners’ ability to build back.”

The results of the UCAN Employer Workforce Survey can be found at www.amgroup.us/ucan. A few toplines from the survey are featured below: • 50% said they reduced their workforce since COVID began • 78% said they were hiring to expand their business or to fill old jobs • Of those, 78% said they were having difficulty hiring employees • And of that group, 56% said

prospective employees were satisfied with current public COVID benefits “The results of the UCAN Employer Workforce Survey closely mirrored much of what I’ve heard throughout the North State,” responded James Gallagher (R-Nicholaus), whose 3rd Assembly District includes Yuba City.

“Many businesses have been simply unable to compete with government benefits.” Gallagher continued, “We’re already seeing the impact these staffing shortages are having on local businesses as more and more have had to close their doors permanently despite COVID levels being at their lowest. The longer this concerning trend continues, the more damaging the economic fallout will be long term.”

Frank Maita, a member of the Elk Grove Chamber Board of Directors said, “It’s bad enough that this situation is harming business growth now, but what really concerns me is the long-term harm this might have on young people if they don’t value hard work and individual responsibility. That’s really the scary part.”

Said one respondent, a business owner from Cameron Park, “It breaks my heart that people would rather be paid by unemployment over getting out and making a difference and challenging themselves.”

California Matters

Why it’s not easy to build affordable housing in California

W

hile running for governor three years ago, Gavin Newsom foolishly promised that if elected California would solve its housing crisis by building 3.5 million units by 2025.

Newsom later Dan Walters downgraded the pledge by calling it an “aspirational goal.” Nevertheless, he continued to flog the issue, devoting virtually all of his 2020 State of the State to the housing shortage and homelessness and pledging anew to attack them forthrightly and effectively.

Punctuating that approach, the state Department of Housing and Community Development, armed with new regulatory authority, ramped up its pressure on local governments to zone enough land to meet its much-higher housing quotas.

Newsom’s dramatic emphasis on housing in 2020 was almost immediately set aside when the COVID19 pandemic erupted, but his latest and muchrevised state budget returns to the issue, declaring — accurately While Gov. Gavin — that the “pandemic further exacerbated Newsom renews the statewide housing his pledge to shortage and impacted attack California’s housing affordability.”

The budget proposes housing crisis, to spend $9.3 billion a bureaucratic in state and federal mess and labor funds on “additional and expanded rental union demands assistance, foreclosure are impediments prevention and down to construction. payment assistance investments.”

“Moreover,” the budget continues, “to continue the momentum on housing production, the administration also proposes innovative ways to further plan, produce, preserve and enhance the state’s supply of long-term affordable housing.”

It sounds like a timely assault, but there’s flipside: the state itself is a major impediment to acting effectively and pending legislation could make construction of affordable housing even more difficult and expensive.

Last November state Auditor Elaine Howle issued a blistering report on the state’s uncoordinated housing programs.

ith respect to the accurate information about the county’s Spring Street facility, this item was on the March 23 El Dorado County Board of Supervisors agenda where staff were directed to develop a conceptual plan(s) for future use. There have been no decisions made by the Board of Supervisors to move our senior services from our Spring Street location. Staff is now gathering information in order to evaluate viable options for this facility and our programs.

Wildfire evacuations and county policy EDITOR: n response to the May 19 letter to the editor from Joan Pellegrini regarding an evacuation plan needed, I would like to concur with her perspectives and her requests for an evacuation plan and describe what some Garden Valley residents have been experiencing over the past few years.

El Dorado County’s slope brush eradication process requires that roadways are to be cleared (by them) of any brush or trees on slopes that are in contact with the roads or that would create an extremely hazardous evacuation situation during a wildfire.

On Traverse Creek Road we have brush on slopes that are in contact with the roadway, as well as overgrown tree canopies that actually form a “tunnel effect” over the entire roadway. It would be deadly to attempt to evacuate during a wildfire if you had to drive through a tunnel of overhanging, burning roadside brush and trees.

This condition alone would severely hamper homeowners from evacuating this area, as well as hamper firefighting personnel from entering during a wildfire.

In addition, we have two one-lane bridges along Traverse Creek Road that further exacerbate ingress and egress traffic conditions.

This extremely important slope brush, if left untended, could create wind-swept fire burning directly alongside vehicles in traffic — the likes of

I

which we all had witnessed during the attempts of the Paradise community trying to evacuate their wildfires.

I beseech the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and the county department in charge of slope brush eradication to act swiftly and proactively to create fire-safe ingress, egress and regress roadway conditions along Traverse Creek Road and other similarly affected county roads, as was described by Joan Pellegrini in Cameron Park along Orinda Circle, Santos Circle and Cambridge Road.

ALLEN ROBERT CARROZZA Garden Valley

Just observation EDITOR: watch the news on station “A” and then I will watch the news on station “B.” Station “A” puts out a commentary regarding politics or something like the president shutting down a U.S. pipeline while lifting sanctions against Russia so that they can complete a pipeline to Germany. Station “B” then tells me that what station “A” put out was not accurate and near deceptive. Station “B” then says the opposite or near opposite and station “A” states that this information is not accurate and near deceptive.

I’m left trying to find out from any other sources what the truth may be. Reporters are supposed to report the facts without bias. It appears that some stations have a lot of commentators rather than reporters.

Then I find that our social media has barred some people from the use of what I thought was public discourse. I can understand being barred for vile language or language or statements that may not be legal. But it appears to me that free speech and thoughts are not free anymore.

I don’t care which side says what. I may not like it, but I respect their right to express their thoughts and concerns. I am concerned, as it appears to me, that free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution is being ignored or regulated by some people and or organizations who violate our First Amendment rights or it may appear that they are determining what I can say.

And now that evidence it took just 25% of that ($1 trillion), has become quite obvious. we could send 100,000,000 people The April jobs report offered (about a third of our population) disappointing results.

don’t work. If you are receiving $750 to $800 a week, why would anyone work when you make as much money (in some cases more money) not to work? Food subsidies and rent subsidies for the unemployed further add to the incentive not to work. And you wonder why only about 3% of 8 million jobs were; in fact there are even more jobs going waning as the economy comes back, mostly due to Operation Warp Speed and the vaccine.

Employers are offering cash incentive if prospective employees just show up for an interview, never mind bonuses for actually going back to work. The restaurant businesses nationwide can’t reopen because their job vacancies remain high. One sixrestaurant chain on the East Coast hired only seven employees out of 100 available jobs because of a lack of applicants. They still can’t open. That company attributes this to the huge unemployment benefits. They were as much as told this during the interview process.

It has been a crazy time the last year or so with the pandemics. We have

learned a lot (?) and now proven many postulates that many people didn’t think possible.

Government subsidies are used all the time to affect or control human behavior. Just like EV subsidies essentially helped rich people buy EVs. During the Tesla $7,500 federal tax credit subsidy (state credits added another $2,500) the average annual income of a Tesla buyer was $322,000. One of my physicians bought one using the subsidy. And to use the subsidy you had to owe federal taxes as it was nonrefundable. Most people with incomes below $30,000 don’t pay federal income tax or very little if they do. Effectively it was a middle-class tax subsidy for the rich.

And unemployment is a tax subsidy paid for by the middle class to other members of the middle class who chose not to work because of the benefits paid by government.

This should be a learning experiment that tells us UBI is a disincentive to work. It’s a bad deal for a productive, free-market society.

Powerhouse penstock due for reinforcement Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent Out of two geotechnical engineering firms, MGE Engineering came in at a low bid of $260,611 for design and construction support of the El Dorado Powerhouse penstock project.

The project includes improving drainage, erosion control and stabilizing the 3-milelong penstock.

Also approved on a 5-0 vote May 24 was the addition of $40,000 for the staff to conduct environmental surveys.

The penstock begins at 60 inches diameter, eventually shrinking to 42 inches, ending in 1,920 feet of highpressure line at 830 pounds per square inch after the penstock bifurcates into two lines.

The two high-pressure lines end inside the powerhouse in nozzles that spray against rotating Pelton water wheels that run two generators, putting out

The first phase of the El Dorado Powerhouse penstock project includes improving drainage, erosion control and protecting the penstock, left photo, against falling rocks. In 2024 interior sections of the powerhouse’s surge tank, right photo, will be relined and by 2025 EID engineers hope to have the surge tank fortified against seismic events.

a total of 21 watts of power.

Access to the penstock’s steeper section begins with rough rock stairs and a steel rail that will need to be replaced with an all-weather steel staircase and improved railing to help bring equipment down the stairs.

The even steeper sections have a tram

track that will be evaluated for restoration as part of phase 5.

The first phase includes improving drainage, erosion control and protecting the penstock against falling rocks.

Phase 2 includes restoring electrical ground connections in the low-pressure penstock sections. Those sections are connected

by rubber joints so they need to have an electrical conductor connecting each in case an overhead PG&E line should fall on the penstock. The solution is to connect the sections underneath with stainless steel. Copper wire would wind up being stolen.

The stair replacement would be done by EID construction staff,

according to project engineer John Kessler.

The first two phases will be done in 2021-22.

Phase 3, projected for 2024, will reline interior sections of the penstock and surge tank. By 2025 Kessler hopes to have the surge tank fortified against seismic events.

The final phase is restoring the tramway.

Kessler plans to look at other penstock

tramways before redesigning and upgrading the current tramway alongside the penstock.

“That will be an E-ticket ride,” commented Board President Pat Dwyer.

Director George Osborne was particularly concerned about the safety of the stair section in wet weather.

On target — Junior Olympian shines

■ SHOE by Jeff MacNelly

Sel Richard Staff writer Standing 34 feet from a target less than 2 inches wide, 17-year-old Aaron Hoversten focuses his Anschütz single shot air rifle sights on a dot with a diameter of the lead in a 0.5 mm pencil. Without aid of a magnifying scope, he squeezes his trigger and the 4.5 mm pellet punctures a neat hole through the paper as he prepares for 59 more shots during the next 75 minutes.

In a field where margins of error come down to half a millimeter, the Oak Ridge High School senior competed at the 2021 Junior Olympics and shot his personal best, 605.1 out of 600 (any shots over 10 are scored with a decimal, maxing out at 10.9). Hoversten placed 29 out of 114, a stellar showing among Olympians, USA National team members, college teams and other club teams from across the nation.

He also shot the smallbore 22-caliber rifle at 50 meters, with no scope magnification, and placed 28 out of 69 competitors.

The crack shot competes as a member of the Lincoln Rifle Club Junior Advanced Team with kids from Folsom, Lincoln and Foresthill. The club has garnered national attention, often placing alongside top college teams in the country, and regularly fields competitors for the Junior Olympics. He trains there three times a week, heading to soccer practice afterward as well as juggling multiple AP classes and contributing on the yearbook staff.

Hoversten, who only began shooting at the end of his sophomore year, was looking for another sport, as if playing varsity soccer wasn’t enough. Dad Chris suggested the Lincoln Rifle Club, where he started shooting as a kid in 1975. Within six weeks, Hoversten was promoted to the advanced team and has since continued to shine.

“Of my four kids, looking back, he’s the only one with the personality to do the sport,” Chris said, himself a 2001 state champion and 1986 junior state champion shooter.

Although he admits that practices and matches can get long, Aaron said shooting comes somewhat naturally to him. “I do love it,” he reflected.

“As kind of a wallflower kid, being able to focus for a long time is just something that I like to do. Being the youngest in the family I was always the quieter kid, letting my older siblings battle it out.”

Aaron is excited to

The competative shooter is a senior at Oak Ridge High School and also plays soccer.

■ SPEED BUMP by Dave Coverly Aaron Hoversten works with his training equipment in the family garage. have earned his place this year, just eking in. At the air rifle qualifiers this April, he knew he was doing well but hadn’t kept track of his score. “I took my last shot and I hit a 10,” he recounted of the bullseye hit. “I only realized afterward that I had to hit a 10 to go to the Junior Olympics.

I had no idea.”

He had scored the minimum 580 to qualify.

In the small-bore rifle division, Aaron needed a 575 to qualify and thought he missed his chance when his final score came in at 574. However, placing first in the 2021 state championship secured him a slot despite his score. He placed second in air rifle.

“Where most sports you rely on adrenaline and getting your heart rate up to do better, shooting is one of those sports where you’re trying to suppress that constantly to keep yourself still and calm,” Aaron explained. A knee injury has also presented challenges to maintaining concentration during extended periods of standing.

Aaron is quick to credit his dad for inspiring him to begin the sport. But it is Lincoln Rifle Club head coach Steve Katsuyama who has impacted Aaron’s success the most. “He really pushed me to get better,” he said. “Being

positive is a big aspect and he definitely made me think in the right way and gave me the correct perspective on how to shoot.”

“He’s a dedicated athlete, really a great all-around athlete, which is beneficial to him because he knows how to work hard,” said Katsuyama. “He’s seeing the fruits of his hard work.”

As Aaron winds up his senior year, he cautiously eyes Olympic dreams.

“I don’t know if I’m good enough just yet,” he shrugged. “Maybe in the future if I get better, who knows.”

In the fall he will travel to Europe in a program through which he hopes to transfer to USC and possibly major in chemical engineering. He plans to continue training at the Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver, a facility where his dad trained in the past.

Meanwhile, Aaron said he tries his best to spend weekends partaking in a highly coveted activity. “I do like to sleep,” he said, admitting that sometimes his parents have to wake him up for dinner. And when he’s not catching z’s, you might find him exploring Salmon Falls with friends, playing Destiny 2 or even noshing on pasta.

“Chicken Alfredo is pretty good at Olive Garden,” he said with a grin.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re ready to like things and will find much worthy of your admiration. In fact, dozens of delights are in store for you, many of them sneaky, emerging from unassuming packages or surprising you from low-key moments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a vibe that comes across when someone is trying to sell you on a product, idea or course of action. It’s uncomfortable. You prefer the attractiveness of the offer to do all the selling. Irresistible dynamics are also effortless.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Trials are often seen as punishments or burdens, though confusingly so when you consider how you emerge from them as the best version of yourself.

Your current trial should earn a “teacher of the year” award.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Reporting for duty is more than a matter of attendance; it’s also an act of obedience and an attitude of surrender. The successful move will be to follow protocol, observe hierarchy and respect power structures.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t always expect a happy ending to the story, but you expect some kind of ending. Your mind doesn’t like an open loop. In fact, it finds irresolution so stressful that it will make something up just to close the circle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are people you easily fall into a groove with and others you must cross a minefield of misunderstandings to get anywhere near.

Make your life easy. Work strictly with the former category.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your productivity will depend on the extent to which you can focus on what you want. This has changed a little, and you need to refresh your vision. Add some details that will help you stay locked on the vision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who would spend time parsing your words and deconstructing your meaning is actually just finding a very annoying way of signaling a need for acceptance. Provide the love and the nitpicking will stop.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever comes automatically to you has been developed over time to survive and thrive in your circumstances. Your circumstances have changed, and updates to the survival kit are in order, none of which will come automatically.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While it is possible for you to dance with intellectual enthusiasms without organizing your life around them, it’s more fun to succumb to the reorganization. Curiosities have the potential to become obsessions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What people can’t keep up with, they will ignore. You will need to get and keep someone’s attention today, which is largely an exercise in reading the feedback and sticking close to the favorable responses.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The realizations come one after another. You’re figuring out where you goals align with the interests of others and where they rub uncomfortably, cross, tangle or come up against opposition.

t was a chance meeting with a frog that prompted Gloriah Jackson and her husband Freddie to purchase their home four years ago. Now impish frogs peek high and low, from beneath lines of rose bushes to succulent arrangements garnishing their haven.

The gardens in this year’s Assistance League Sierra Foothills Gardens of the Hills Tour are as delightful as they are varied. From Shingle Springs to Granite Bay, visitors will find anything from Buddhas, horses and pagodas to waterfalls, Japanese gardens and a Peruvian Pepper tree.

Two of the tour’s gardens are in El Dorado Hills, one being the Jacksons’ gem

“A kind word is like a spring day.” o says an old Russian proverb.

As we transition from spring to summer this month, many — possibly most — of us will be phasing our lives back into society at large.

And what a large world it is! Filled with adaptations intended to allow the public to resume “life as usual.”

This is certainly true in the world of arts and entertainment, not to mention pubs, bars and restaurants.

S

Unmasking compassion As California follows the rest of the nation in relaxing mask mandates (on June 15, as of this printing), there will be some confusion. There are those who will fling off their fabric masks with abandon. And there will be those who will want to keep their masks on — and who will wish everyone else would, too.

How should we handle these awkward situations as they arise?

Interestingly, one answer is found in the poetic arts.

In 1895, poet Mary T. Lathrop wrote: Pray, don’t find fault with the man that limps,

Susan Laird The Arts Or stumbles along the road.

Unless you have worn the moccasins he wears, Or stumbled beneath the same load.

There may be tears in his soles that hurt Though hidden away from view.

The burden he bears placed on your back May cause you to stumble and fall, too.

Don’t sneer at the man who is down today Unless you have felt the same blow That caused his fall or felt the shame That only the fallen know.

You may be strong, but still the blows That were his, unknown to you in the same way, May cause you to stagger and fall, too.

Don’t be too harsh with the man that sins.

Or pelt him with

Public domain image

Abraham Lincoln believed that kindness was the best way to start binding up the wounds of the hurting. Speaking to the Washington Temperance Society in 1842, he said, “It is an old and a true maxim, that a ‘drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.’ So with men.” words, or stone, or disdain.

Unless you are sure you have no sins of your own, And it’s only wisdom and love that your heart contains.

For you know if the tempter’s voice Should whisper as soft to you, As it did to him when he went astray, It might cause you to

falter, too.

Just walk a mile in his moccasins Before you abuse, criticize and accuse.

If just for one hour, you could find a way To see through his eyes, instead of your own muse.

I believe you’d be surprised to see That you’ve been blind ■

Excellence in Education honors teachers and related service providers.

This handbook was not only disseminated across El Dorado County for school districts to customize and use the template, but was disseminated across the state through the Special Education County Office Administrators Committees, as this template was of exceptional quality and the most comprehensive at the beginning of the pandemic.

“As a leader, Becca stands out due to her uncompromising focus on developing quality programs for our students,” said Tamara Clay, executive director of Special Services. “She is diligent, compassionate, creative and solutionsoriented. She serves as a model team member by prioritizing relationships while still striving for excellence.

I feel fortunate to work with such an exceptional educator.”

When Kaldunski is not working she enjoys spending quality time with her husband and two children. The family is also well known in the community for their passion for performing arts and servant leadership.

“I am humbled and inspired each and every day. Together, we truly can make a difference, no matter what challenges are set before us.”

El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala presented the award, noting “Becca embodies the essence of the Excellence in Education Award and is unmatched with her fierce passion for supporting all students.”

She then served as an educational specialist and assistant principal for the El Dorado Union High School District.

She is currently the director for Special Services for EDCOE and she cares deeply about each student and team member’s success.

When she served as the principal overseeing programs for students

with emotional disturbances, she took time to analyze the strengths and needs of these programs and determine how to build upon them for improvement. After studying, observing and working with staff, she introduced changes that included articulated behavior systems, curricula and ongoing collaboration through professional

of the Differentiated Assistance support team for EDCOE. At the beginning of the pandemic, Kaldunski worked tirelessly with her team to quickly create a guidelines for distance learning for classroom teachers who serve students with moderate to severe disabilities, as well as itinerant

uring the El Dorado County Office of Education’s annual Team Member Recognition event, the entire Extended Day Team was recognized for tireless efforts this past year.

Lori Scalaro, program manager for the EDCOE Charter Extended Day Program, accepted the award on behalf of the team. “I have the privilege to have worked for this program for 19 years and I am honored to work alongside all of our team members,” she said.

“It is humbling to accept this acknowledgement on the team’s behalf. We are the dream team. You made mission impossible — possible!”

El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala presented the award, explaining, “The Extended Day team continues to deliver excellence for their programs and students. Their services are invaluable to our schools and families and I thank them for their dedication.”

The Extended Day program provides enriched childcare services on 23 school campuses throughout the county. These services include before- and after-school sessions and throughout the day during summer.

The programs offer homework quiet time, enrichment activities

that include a focus on STEAM and STEM and outdoor recess to promote healthy choices. Team members include high school and college students who serve as mentors to Extended Day participants and encourage teamwork.

In regards to the team opening programs during the pandemic shutdowns last year, Lori noted, “What seemed like an insurmountable obstacle was made possible because our team members refused to give up for our schools and students. It is amazing to see our team in action.

We successfully opened sites on June 15, 2020, and produced a fantastic summer program. When school districts resumed in-person classes beginning in August, we tailored each program to their partnering district at the 23 sites. Four additional locations facilitated temporary daycare for staff who work at the El Dorado Union High School District.”

“We were thrilled to partner with the Extended Day Team to provide support for our staff so that we could open our schools,” said Dr. Ron Carruth, superintendent of the El Dorado Union High School District.

“Together we solved unprecedented challenges and the Extended Day team helped us take care of our employees so we could take care of our students. Together we found a way to support our community and are grateful for the partnership.”

of a property. It could be dubbed a garden of unexpected delights, as Gloriah claims to be a novice green thumb. “I’m a girl who used to kill cactus,” she insisted ... as she’s surrounded by explosions of flora.

Even before entering the gate to the main yard, to the left is an area Gloriah admits happened somewhat by accident. Peonies, oriental lilies and violas thrive in this shaded oasis where a bench beckons those who need quiet and respite. Then enter and meander over a bridge past vibrant cockscombs toward boxwoodedged secret gardens where tomatoes and strawberries await plucking.

Amid foxgloves, carnations, petunias and sweet alyssums, mischievous creatures hide, delighted with Gloriah’s refusal to be daunted by the unknown. “Don’t be afraid; don’t be timid,” was advice she took to heart during her first forays into gardening. “I find things I like and I try them.”

In Granite Bay niche gardens have a personal significance to Juliet Voightlander, owner of El Dorado Nursery. With gardens named after her three children, each pays tender homage to the quirks and temperaments of her most cherished.

Lion’s mane adorns Emily’s garden, along with camellias and a red dwarf Japanese maple. “She lives in San Francisco, in an area with a lot of Asian influence,” Juliet explained of her oldest daughter. For her dragonloving daughter Claire, fire-breathers hide among lamb’s ear, golden lantanas, evergreen clematis and burning bush. And Dallas red lantana abound in her son Dallas’ garden, among petit series crepe myrtles, amber wave roses and lavender. A butterfly and hummingbird garden nestles between.

Juliet moved to her property in 1994 and took it upon herself to transform it. “There was not one plant in the yard— just rocks,” she shared. Now 25 years later, redwood trees grant serene shade, 85 rose bushes burst with color and 30 crepe

myrtle varieties flourish.

Take in the vegetable garden with flowering onions, tomatoes and peppers planted in garden boxes made from repurposed redwood from her front porch. Admire the potted orchard of semi-dwarf peach, nectarine, pluot, cherry and 20 citrus trees that seem to defy the dwarf part of their description. And because Juliet often trials plants from her nursery to assess their viability, unusual species can be found dotting the landscape, like the Cersis merlot or the green and gold dogwood.

Throughout the tour, visitors will be treated to a selection of pop-up boutiques with items from local artisans. The Arden Park Garden Club, Betty Lynn’s BeadsNThings and Designs by Sweetsue are just a few offering treasures. Enjoy wine tasting

and narrow minded, even unkind.

There are people on reservations and in the ghettos Who have so little hope, and too much worry on their minds.

Brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I. Just for a moment, slip into his mind and traditions And see the world through his spirit and eyes Before you cast a stone or falsely judge his conditions.

Remember to walk a mile in his moccasins And remember the lessons of humanity taught to you by your elders.

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave In other people’s lives, our kindnesses and generosity.

Take the time to walk a mile in his moccasins.

This poem, titled “Judge Softly,” was written during the last decades of the American Indian Wars as a plea for peace and understanding among people who were passionately fighting for their freedoms. It was embraced by “cowboys and Indians” alike.

Those earlier generations realized that compassion is the starting place for healing a great nation.

Be charitable

If you see someone wearing a mask at an event, consider the possibility that person might have an underlying condition that requires it. Or perhaps that person has a reason for not being vaccinated and they did a rapid test to verify they are virusfree. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Walk in their moccasins. Be kind.

If you see someone barefaced in public, consider the possibility that person is vaccinated, can’t

spread the virus and is simply happy. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Walk in their moccasins. Be kind.

Be constructive As event coordinators struggle with new guidance from the CDC, give them the benefit of the doubt.

At the same time, don’t be afraid to speak up and offer to help. It is OK to provide constructive guidance to boards. The goal is to bring people together again, not to divide them into various castes. No one should be made to feel inferior because of a virus that nobody wanted in the first place.

The Golden Rule Treating others as we wish to be treated is a cardinal virtue we Americans cherish. Flawed humans may not always achieve it, but it is always worth striving for.

So, as rodeos resume and small festivals begin, let’s move forward together. We learned a lot of good habits this last year (hand washing, etc.).

Everyone suffered a loss in one way or another. Why wound one another further? We can get through this together. It’s in our DNA. After all, we got through 2020.

“Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out,” said Abraham Lincoln, America’s 16th president. “It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.”

So, let’s heal the hurts and encourage one another.

Welcome summer!

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: July 21, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Copies of the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done are also on file at the Department of Transportation’s principal office, and are available upon request, and in case of projects involving Federal funds, Federal wage requirements as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor have been included in the Contract Documents.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: July 28, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
