Protestors take message of peace to Courthouse steps Kevin Christensen Staff writer

Demonstrators line the sidewalk in front of the El Dorado County Courthouse in downtown Placerville Wednesday night. Protests have been taking place nationwide since the May 25 death of George Floyd involving Minneapolis police officers.
Before the protest wrapped up, participants, joined by law enforcement officers, marched down to the Bell Tower and through Main Street.
After a smaller demonstration on the corner of Main Street and Cedar Ravine Road in downtown Placerville Tuesday, peaceful protestors turned out Wednesday night just down the street on the steps of the El Dorado County Courthouse — this time in greater numbers. The demonstration was spurred by the police-officer-involved death of Minneapolis man George Floyd. Video was captured of officer Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, as he kept his knee on the side of Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd, an African-American “I definitely man, was handcuffed did not expect and lying face down.

Stage 3 coming once state guidelines released Dylan Svoboda Staff writer El Dorado County will move into Stage 3 of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reopening plan — once guidelines come down from the state. The governor announced May 29 that all Stage 3 industries could resume operations in certain counties once guidelines from the California Department of Public Health are released and the county’s health officer approves. That day, the governor said the state would provide the “how” and county health officers would be in charge of “when” counties should move into Stage 3.
