El Dorado County Fair canceled n Livestock auction still in the
works — with safety precautions Dylan Svoboda Staff writer The coronavirus pandemic scrapped yet another local event. This time, one of El Dorado County's biggest. For the first time since World War II the El Dorado County Fair has been canceled. “We are very frustrated that we were unable to host the fair this year,” El Dorado County Fairgrounds deputy manager Kathy Dunkak said.
“We had hoped that by July we would have been in Phase 4 of the COVID-19 recovery, but that is not the case. After postponing the fair once already, we didn't feel that another postponement to August would be successful. There is a year's worth of work that goes into planning and preparing for the fair, so the board and staff did not make this decision lightly.” El Dorado County is entering Stage 3 of California's economic reopening plan Friday, but the timeline for Stage 4 of the plan, which includes large-scale events like sporting events, concerts and fairs, is still unknown. “Without our county in Phase 4 we would be
unable to obtain licenses and permits for food and alcohol, nor would the carnival rides be able to be inspected by the state,” Dunkak added. “Additionally, while we have a commitment to our community to host the fair, we also need to be mindful of the safety aspect.” Several other counties across California, such as San Joaquin and Orange, have also called off their events for 2020. The annual fair is the out-and-out breadwinner for the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. Each year the fair brings in about $650,000, which is roughly half of the fairgrounds' n

Family mourns SMUD to Placerville on city’s young man who drowned trying request to switch from PG&E: ‘No’ to save others n Fire risk liability among factors dissuading Sacramento utility company Dylan Svoboda Staff writer

Last month a 24-year-old Sacramento man dove into the turbulent waters of the Cosumnes River in Evan Ishima Somerset in a heroic attempt to “Evan died a save a couple hero and then of struggling some with no swimmers. But the hesitation or fast-moving current proved second thoughts to jump in and too strong, sweeping Evan rescue these two Ishima away along with the strangers ...” — Anjelica Ishima, two strangers. sister of Evan Ishima The tragic event took place Thursday, May 28, around 4 p.m., when Ishima plunged into the North Fork of the river near Happy Valley Cutoff Road to rescue two 20-year-old Sacramento men from drowning. Evan had been trying to create a human chain with his friend to save the other two men from the water when he lost his grip and fell into the river below. According to a Facebook post from his sister, Anjelica Ishima, the three
It’s not that Placerville city leaders didn’t try — they did — but SMUD doesn’t wish to annex Placerville or any other part of El Dorado County into its service area. In fact, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District likely won’t seek to annex any area, anywhere in the greater Sacramento region, into its service area, despite a recent clamor of municipalities and other entities wishing to be served by that utility instead of staying with PG&E. That’s the bottom line heard by the Placerville City Council this week as its city manager, mayor and a councilman involved in presenting the city’s request to SMUD recapped a letter that summarizes the chances of that happening. The request for SMUD as a power provider came in the wake of last year’s highly unwelcomed public safety power shutoff events by PG&E “They said no,” City Manager Cleve Morris said bluntly during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “It (annexing into SMUD’s

Veerkamp purchased some 40 acres of the property and reportedly intends to complete phases 4 and 6 of the Cottonwood apartments sometime in the future — for now he is being a good neighbor by clearing the land of incendiary fuels in anticipation of hotter days to come as fire season heats up. to SMUD.

Russell Motorsports will launch its 55th season of competition at Placerville Speedway Saturday — but the stands will have no fans. Like many tracks across the country, the first race will be held without attendees but fans can catch the action exclusively on live pay-per-view via Speed Shift TV. Winged 360 sprint cars, pure stocks and limited late models will all be competing for full, weekly paying purses. “The COVID-19 situation has certainly made everyone stir-crazy, so we are very thankful and excited to take the next step in the re-opening process,” said track promoter
Scott Russell. “We are going to take this race by race and see how everything works out but I know all the race teams are looking forward to finally hitting the track.” Rounding out the night will be the Bay Cities Racing Association midget lite division. The grandstands will be closed to the public and no tickets will be sold for the event. The June 13 showcase was originally scheduled to be Kids Bike Night, which will not be part of the program due to the restrictions still in place.

EID minimizing impact of PG&E power shutoffs Dawn Hodson Staff writer Power shutoffs and an analysis of the cost of relocating the Bass Lake wastewater facility were among the items taken up by the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors at its Monday meeting. EID staff is making preparations to minimize impacts to its system in the event of more PG&E public safety power shutoffs this year. EID has 168 electrical service connections with PG&E. In 2019 the largest power shutoff event affected 125 of those connections. The outages compromised EID’s ability to pump water and wastewater, provide fire protection, generate hydroelectric power and operate the Sly Park Recreation Area. To plan for the upcoming fire season the district has taken a number of steps including investing in the permanent installation of generators. The district has 187 generators, 11 of which are mobile and can be moved around as needed. EID is also is pursuing contracts with vendors to rent additional generators as needed and has applied for a FEMA grant to help fund the purchase of additional generators. To minimize the number of sites affected, district staff have met with
representatives from PG&E. The power company is planning to make supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) improvements and add equipment in the El Dorado Hills area to reduce the number of sites that could be affected by a future power shutdown. And while the California Public Utilities Commission, Cal Fire and the California Office of Emergency Services have advised PG&E to minimize the impact of shutoff events on residents and businesses, EID staff said they don’t expect PG&E to change their approach in carrying them out.
Bass Lake facility relocation Previously the board approved the relocation of a wastewater collection system from Bass Lake to the El Dorado Hills Wastewater Treatment Facility where a new facility is being designed and built. But questions were raised regarding whether it would have been cheaper to just renovate the existing facility. Staff responded with an analysis, putting the cost of relocating the Bass Lake facilities at $3.1 million. A cost that included the $925,000 the district received in selling the property to the El Dorado Hills Community Service District. The cost of renovating ■

Recession freezes an ambitious agenda
I
f one can muster sympathy for politicians, the Democrats who dominate California’s Capitol might be worthy recipients. As the year began the political and economic stars seemed to be in perfect alignment for them and their Dan Walters sycophantic allies, such as unions and advocates of health insurance for undocumented immigrants, expanding early childhood care and pre-school education, reducing homelessness, more generous social welfare benefits and lower-cost college education. The state’s economy was booming, generating many extra billions of dollars in tax revenues and Jerry Brown, who had been something of a skinflint as governor, had been succeeded by Gavin Newsom, who had ambitious plans to expand state-financed benefits. Brown had ended his two-part, 16-year governorship with a semi-serious warning about California facing “darkness, decline, uncertainty and recession” in the years ahead. But Newsom, with an obvious yen for national political standing, assumed that California’s economic boom would continue indefinitely. He proposed a 2020-21 budget that was a cornucopia of new and expanded programs to confront poverty, homelessness and other social ills. “California is stronger than ever today and the budget found in the pages ahead reflects our fortitude,” Newsom wrote as he unveiled the $222 billion budget. “Our state has provided the rocket fuel for the nation’s economic expansion. We are the world’s capital of innovation. We have more people with access to health care and higher education than any other state. California is showing the nation and the world what big-hearted, effective governance looks like.” Within two months, however, as California began to feel the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Newsom had declared an emergency, ordered a shutdown of much of the state’s $3.1 trillion economy and tossed his proposed budget in the wastebasket, seeing a $54 billion deficit over three years. He’s now slashed billions of dollars in spending in a much-revised budget — including nearly all of the enhancements he had proposed — and he is begging Congress and President Donald Trump for relief. Those adversely affected by the revised budget are pleading with their friends in the Legislature to modify the spending cuts, resulting in hours of criticism during a recent extraordinary “committee of the whole” session of the state Assembly. However, as they express sympathy, lawmakers have little choice unless they can muster two-thirds votes for massive new taxes of some kind. The most important aspect of the situation, n

Letters to the Editor Proud of Placerville EDITOR: was so proud of my hometown to see our Placerville police not only standing with peaceful demonstrators on the Courthouse steps, but leading the march to the bell tower. It brought to mind a slogan from several years ago displayed in store windows and bumper stickers: “El Dorado County is too great for hate.” It still applies and was clearly shown on Wednesday night, June 3.

Thanks, guys EDITOR: ntifa terrorists threatened to invade city of Placerville June 5. Update June 6: Hell’s Angels give notice they accept Antifa terrorists’ invitation to meet up in Placerville; Antifa terrorists cancels visitation. LOL!

Our community’s generosity EDITOR: he El Dorado Community Foundation, in partnership with the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce, city of South Lake Tahoe, and with the support of many generous local donors, successfully met the challenge of supporting our El Dorado County small business community through a competitive grant process earlier this month. A total of 87 small businesses seeking financial relief applied from all parts of the county and we are very happy to report that each applicant that met the qualifications will be funded. The success of this campaign to support local small business is due to a community of donors both large and small who stepped up in a big way to ensure not only that our downtowns, town centers and villages would survive but also that businesses off the beaten path would find some financial relief as well. These businesses are owned by our neighbors, our friends and our families and when they asked for help from their community, the community’s answer was resounding. Special thanks to the city of South Lake Tahoe, the Latrobe Foundation Fund, U.S. Bank, River City Bank and the countless anonymous donors
T
who made this possible through their generosity. The donations made by these organizations and individuals show the strength and resiliency of our community and prove that we will fight, masked, gloved and 6 feet apart, if need be, to protect what we hold dear. EL DORADO COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Facts about COVID-19 EDITOR: find it appalling and unconscionable that the Mountain Democrat continues to include op-ed pieces from Dr. Pease, Rep. McClintock, et al who continue spread misinformation and to downplay and politicize a pandemic that in the span of three months has killed more than 100,000 Americans. The latest was a piece by Dr. Pease. Firstly, readers should know that Dr. Pease is not a medical doctor but has a Ph.D. His downplaying the seriousness of this pandemic is not based on science but are based on his opinions and beliefs. We cannot and must not minimize in any way the seriousness of this virus and even more importantly we cannot and must not politicize it or thousands of more lives will be lost. Mr. Pease cites several things that are simply not correct. Firstly, he seems to believe that this virus is no more dangerous than an aggressive flu. Wrong. COVID-19 in three months has killed twice the number of people that die in an entire flu season. The flu season typically ends by the end of April. It is now June and the number of cases is still rising in 20 states. We now know that this virus is much more contagious, not less as Dr. Pease contends, and the death rates are significantly higher than any typical flu. Nor does the typical flu virus cause strokes in 30-year-olds, kidney failure, amputation of limbs and permanent lung damage. Secondly, Mr. Pease believes that we are overestimating the number of deaths by as much as 25%. Not true. The number of deaths is based on the number of people who have died with a positive coronavirus test. It is not some arbitrary number. An article that just ran in The Wall Street Journal states that medical experts believe that we are under-counting, perhaps significantly, the number of deaths from the virus because anyone who dies from complications of COVID-19 who does not have a positive test is not included in the official count. In New York City, subtracting the number of COVID-19 deaths from the number of total deaths, the numbers of deaths for the months of March and April were still much higher than normal and can

f “my brother the conservative” hadn’t died almost five years ago, events of the last couple of weeks probably would have killed him just as dead as the cancer did back then. It’s not the ongoing civil rights-related Chris unrest. Heck, he wasn’t opposed to seeing longhaired, freaky people get whacked upside the head a time or six while engaged in civil protests. I don’t think he ever whacked anyone himself, but he was a staunch law-and-order guy — the Hannity and Limbaugh brand of law and order. No, it is the realization that people he deeply respected, just short of idolized, in fact, turned out to be so, so very unworthy. He could have lived, though some-
what uncomfortably, with the notion that we were now expected to “love” Kim Jong Un, highly regard and trust Vladimir Putin and call Xi Jinping a great and true friend — top commies all. It would have sent him for another bottle of Jack, but he’d have sucked DAley it up and taken one for the team. After all, could they be worse than Bill and Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? And he’d get over it because the people who really matter were still in charge, still setting larger-than-life examples of honor, duty and courage, still leading as they had always done, ready and willing to sacrifice everything for our country — the likes of Gens. Colin Powell, Jim Mattis and John Kelly, John Allen and Mike Hayden, Adms. William McRaven,

Mike Mullen and James Stavridis along with several former secretaries of defense. Men who walked softly and carried a big stick, as Teddy Roosevelt might have described them. The kind of heroes portrayed in film by men like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart and Gary Cooper. To learn that Gen. James Mattis isn’t a “Mad Dog” at all but merely a very “overrated“ Marine Corps general, that Colin Powell is nothing more than a “real stiff ” and also “highly overrated” and that John Kelly “just wasn’t up to the job” as the president’s chief of sStaff would have shocked “my brother the conservative” to his core. Much like Donald Trump, Mike was “sent off ” to military academy, Shattuck (now Shattuck-Saint Mary’s School) in Minnesota, as a high school freshman. Although I’ve never heard a clear explanation for that exile, I’m pretty sure it was not unlike
the decision made by President Trump’s beleaguered parents. “My brother the conservative” did like him some guns and marching and discipline in those days — probably the guns more than the discipline. He spent two full years and one summer at Shattuck before something made him want to come home to finish high school. Maybe it was too much discipline and not enough guns that soured him on that experience. Regardless, he maintained a lifelong respect and admiration for high-ranking and revered military men like John McCain, James Mattis and Colin Powell. If candidate Trump’s savagery toward John McCain hadn’t hurried him along back in 2015, last week’s dishonor of such heroes surely would have put him down for all eternity. RIP, if you can, Mike.

Cal Fire suspends all burn permits in El Dorado County Diana Swart Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit CAMINO — 2020 started out with the driest February since the 1850s in California. Coupled with warming temperatures and recent winds, this year’s grass crop is quickly drying out. The fire danger posed by dead grass and hotter, drier conditions in the region has prompted Cal Fire to suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within state responsibility areas in Alpine, Amador, El Dorado and Sacramento counties. This suspension takes effect at 12 a.m., Monday, June 15, and bans all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves. “The last few years saw devastating reminders that the public cannot let its guard down,” said Chief Thom Porter, Cal Fire director. “Together we must continue to adapt and evolve to be able to withstand the intensity of these fires, keeping in mind, that the only way to mitigate the damage they cause is through prevention and preparation. The potential is

great for the dry, hot weather that fueled the massive fires over the last few years to return again this year, so it is up to the public to be ready.” “We are already above average for fire ignitions for this time of year,” said Cal Fire Unit Chief Scott Lindgren. “Be prepared for wildfire. Please take time to make a wildfire action plan.” For more information visit readyforwildfire.org/prepare-forwildfire/get- set/wildfire-actionplan. Since Jan. 1 firefighters across the state have responded to more than 2,338 wildfires compared to 1,340 wildfires this time last year. While outdoor burning of landscape debris by homeowners is no longer allowed, Cal Fire is asking residents to take that extra time to ensure they are prepared for wildfires by maintaining a minimum of 100 feet of defensible space around every home and building on their property — and be prepared to evacuate if the time comes. Here are some tips to help prepare homes and property: Clear all dead or dying vegetation 100 feet around all

however, is that the severe recession, which has erased several million jobs, is likely to continue beyond 2020-21. In fact, Newsom’s revised budget sees the impact lasting at least through his first term. “Personal income is not expected to return to 2019 levels until 2023,” the budget states. “In comparison, personal income fell by 3.3% during the Great Recession and recovered to 2007 levels by 2011. The forecast projects the impacts of the pandemic on personal income and its components to be larger in magnitude and in percentages compared to the Great Recession.” State revenue will follow the same lackluster pattern, Newsom projects. “Total general fund

By 202324, it will only have grown to $128 billion,” his budget states. With budget deficits projected for years to come, the expansive agenda Newsom and legislators desire will likely be stymied at least until mid-decade. They must tell their friends “no” now and for the foreseeable future — a very different scenario than what they had envisioned just weeks ago.

only be explained by additional deaths from the virus. Finally, Mr. Pease seems to be under the impression that the pandemic is ending. Unfortunately, I have not heard one medical expert say that he or she believes this will end soon. In fact, it is just the opposite, most believe this is just the beginning. The road ahead is clear: We can follow the science and do everything we can to suppress the spread of the virus and save lives and have a quicker economic recovery or we can say it is all a hoax, deny its existence and spout conspiracy theories and watch the number of sick, disabled and dead climb and the economy continue to collapse.

structures. Landscape with fire-resistant plants and nonflammable ground cover. Find alternative ways to dispose of landscape debris like chipping or hauling it to a biomass energy or a green waste facility. Cal Fire may issue restricted, temporary burning permits if there is an essential reason due to public health and safety. Agriculture, land management, fire training and other industrialtype burning may proceed if a Cal Fire official inspects the burn site and issues a special permit. The suspension of burn permits for residential landscape debris does not apply to campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property. Campfires may be permitted if the campfire is maintained in such a manner as to prevent its spread to the wildland. A campfire permit can be obtained at local fire stations or online at PreventWildfireCA. org.

e Christians agree that God is love. But we rarely think of the anguish our father went through when he realized that he had to provide his son as a sacrificial lamb to pay the price for our sins. Then to have us turn away again and again after receiving this
wonderful gift ... must cause him anguish over and over. Before Jesus ascended he realized that we could not be left alone. He told his followers to tarry in Jerusalem until the comforter came to them. The comforter would bring them knowledge and truth. We call the comforter the Holy Spirit. But we modern Christians are no better than ancient Israelites who drifted away from God. Isaiah 63:10: “Yet they rebelled and grieved the Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.” Have we modern Christians also drifted away from God? Have we taken his blessings for granted? Do we cause the father anguish by breaking faith with each other? If so, let us pray to be shaken, for all things will be shaken until only that which cannot be shaken remains. Shaking begins in the church. Let us pray to have our imperfections shaken off us until only the purity of our intention remains. Perhaps our humility will bring an end to God’s anguish and put a smile on God’s face. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville

young men “were sucked underwater one at a time and never resurfaced.” The Ishima family’s concerns were confirmed days later when a family of one of the victims searched the area underwater with a GoPro Hero 8 and found all three bodies lying together. Evan was found underneath the other two victims, according to the diver, in what the family assumes was an attempt to push the two men to the surface. “Evan died a hero and then some with no hesitation or second thoughts to jump in and rescue these two strangers and even in his final moments underwater he still attempted to save them,” Anjelica said. “Words will never fully paint an image of the feelings we have all felt and carry on our shoulders.” After nearly two weeks without closure, one of Evan’s family members decided to take matters into his own hands and recover Evan on his own. On Wednesday, Evan’s uncle, Chris Mullins, recovered his body from the brisk Cosumnes River.
Evan’s aunt, Jessica Winn Stratton, told the Mountain Democrat that moving on without proper closure was “causing [the family] stress and anxiousness.” Now, Evan’s friends and family can begin the grieving process. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has recovered the body of one of the men. The third body remains in the water. The sheriff ’s office has said that dangerous river conditions had delayed rescue crew's efforts to recover the bodies. As of press time the Sheriff 's Office has not identified either of the other two drowning victims. A GoFundMe memorial fund has been put together for Evan’s funeral expenses. The family described Evan as a fun-loving, caring son, sibling and friend. “This is by far the most difficult thing [my family is] going through in unity,” Anjelica told the Mountain Democrat. “His life was far too short but he appears to have made the most of the time he had. I really wished I had spent more time with him.”

Thousands of trout have been planted by SMUD in Crystal Basin Recreation Area reservoirs.
SMUD stocking reservoirs with thousands of trout Sacramento Municipal Utilities District News release The Sacramento Municipal Utilities District is stocking three Sierra reservoirs with rainbow trout. This is the sixth summer of their fish planting in the Crystal Basin Recreational Area. The fish planting starts in June and runs into August. SMUD will stock 25,000 pounds of fish at Union Valley, Loon Lake and Ice House reservoirs in El Dorado County. On average, the fish weigh almost two pounds, including some trophy fish. SMUD has scheduled six separate trout plantings. The largest of the three reservoirs, Union Valley, will get 9,400 pounds; Loon Lake, 8,100 pounds; and Ice House, 7,500 pounds.SMUD proactively works to improve the quality of life in El Dorado County, where the electric utility owns and operates the Upper American River Project, a system of hydroelectric generation facilities. “Many SMUD employees work and live in El Dorado County and support the local businesses and the tax base,” said SMUD Chief Energy Delivery Officer Frankie McDermott. “Though El Dorado County is outside our service territory, we consider it a very important part of the SMUD community.” Fishing licenses issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are available for purchase from more than 1,400 license agents throughout the state and can also be obtained online atwildlife.ca.gov/licensing.

Fair canceled
Continued from A1
annual budget, El Dorado County Fairgrounds CEO Jodi Gray told the Mountain Democrat in May. The El Dorado County Fairgrounds, along with dozens of other local fairgrounds across California, are facing insolvency as the coronavirus-forced shutdowns take away much-needed revenue streams, Fairgrounds officials warned last month. “Your local fairgrounds are the go-to place during disasters in your community — such as wildfires, floods, pandemics ... ” a May press release from the El Dorado County Fair Association states. “They are the hub of the community … All of this could change due to the consequences of COVID-19.” Fair organizers had announced in early May that they were moving the 2020 fair to July 9-12, barring further complications. That date became less and less plausible as the virus lingered into June. Despite the main event's cancellation, the fair still plans on holding the annual junior livestock auction with several safety precautions. The fairgrounds' financial difficulties stretch beyond the cancellation of its main event. If the fairgrounds are closed for events through the year it will lose about $1,266,000 in revenues and savings, Gray said. Large-scale gatherings set for the fall like the Hangtown Music and Dry Diggins Festivals are at-risk if the county doesn't move into the final stage. As of last month, the fairgrounds had lost about $200,000 and counting in interim rental revenue. “It will be difficult to keep the gates open,” admits fair spokeswoman Suzanne Wright in the press release. The shutdowns have exacerbated financial difficulties that were already nearly a decade in the making. In May 2011, during the Great Recession, the state cut all $32 million in funding for California’s fairs. The EDC Fairgrounds, according to the press release, lost 25% of its funding due to the cuts. Now, what’s kept the fair afloat since then is gone. “El Dorado County Fairgrounds
cut spending (in 2011), created new methods of generating revenue, streamlined interim rentals, ran a bar during the fair and 4th of July and created other events, such as the popular Crab and Chowder Gala,” according to the association. All that has been put on hold thanks to the pandemic. Since the shutdowns began the fair has brought in virtually no money — relative to its regular budget, Gray said. “We have sold about $1,000 worth of compost, we have had $175 in donations, about $200 in horse ride passes and that is about it,” she said. Right now the EDC fair is digging into its savings account just to stay alive. “We never expected to have to use all of our savings for one loss,” Gray told the Mountain Democrat last month. “We were very fortunate until now. We have always been very frugal and proud of how we managed our finances. Thank goodness, otherwise, we really would be in worse trouble.” And that will run out without financial relief or a recuperated income stream. Gray said the fair will “limp along” — if not close — if the status quo remains until 2021. The El Dorado County Fair has roots that reach back to the Gold Rush days. The county’s first recorded fair was in 1859 in Coloma, according to the fair’s website. Until 1939 the fair was held at various locations including Coloma, Diamond Springs and downtown Placerville. That year it moved to its current location on Placerville Drive. If this is the death knell, El Dorado County will be losing much more than the site itself. Gray counts the fairgrounds as a vital community resource. The fairgrounds serve as a home for self-improvement classes, nonprofit fundraisers, evacuation and cooling centers, dog and car shows, weddings, funerals and countless other events and get-togethers. “All fairs in California are in trouble,” Gray said. “Fairs should not be forgotten in the (COVID-19) bailout … Our fairgrounds are too important to be forgotten.”

existing facilities at Bass Lake was put at $3.8 million. A major factor underlying the decision was how much development has occurred around the Bass Lake site. When the facility was first built it was largely surrounded by vacant land. Now subdivisions are closing in around the facility, making future conflicts inevitable. Director Alan Day suggested that such an analysis should have been done upfront rather than afterward, as he requested the staff to include such analyses on future projects.
reported a ‘clean’ or “unqualified” finding for the agency. EID’s Finance Director Mark Price said the district has never had a qualified audit. Operating revenue for last year increased $4 million to $68.2 million from 2018 due primarily to hydroelectric sales. Property tax revenue increased $.4 million to $13.1 million. Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $727.9 million, an increase of $13.2 million from 2018. Charges for new hookups were $12.9 million, a $7.1 million decrease from 2018, due to a slowdown in development. Operating expenses, not including depreciation, increased $3.6 million to $56.8 million. Net long term debt and loans were $315.6 million, a decrease of $32.9 million.

Staff said they expect to bring a contract to carry out the work to the July 13 board meeting with the work carried out over two years. A contract for $530,730 was approved with Express Sewer & Drain, Inc., to rehabilitate 5,400 feet of wastewater pipes in El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park. An additional

SMUD
A11
Friday, June 12, 2020
Continued from A1
“Accordingly, we expect that even if the SMUD board authorized SMUD staff to pursue annexation, it may take at least a decade for the process … to be completed.”
Risks In addition, the SMUD letter cites that the PG&E owned infrastructure that delivers electricity to El Dorado County that would become SMUD’s if the requested annexation were to come to fruition would prove a liability for the Sacramento-based utility company. From the letter: “The threat of distribution and transmission facilities sparking wildfires will remain regardless of whether PG&E owns the assets. As a result, we believe the (insurance coverage) rating agencies would consider any proposed annexation a risky transaction … ” With June already bringing swift gusts of wind to Placerville in the past few days, and with temperatures steadily climbing, members of the City Council already know what they soon will be hearing from constituents. “This is going to be the big question … when the winds start blowing and when it gets hot — everybody is going to ask us about SMUD,” predicted Councilman Acuna, who along with Morris, county Chief Operating Officer Don Ashton and county Supervisor Brian Veerkamp
presented the city’s case to SMUD in January. Pointing out that the local leaders met with the “chief person from SMUD and his top legal people,” Acuna said the answer from SMUD is clear. And as for the city becoming its own purveyor of electricity and thus able to control the frequency of public safety power shutoffs that have proved a plague for local residents, forced to live without electricity for days at a time in a seemingly willy-nilly pattern of PG&E’s pulling the plug — well, that’s not a great option either, apparently. “The city would have to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy out PG&E and we would be fighting to acquire a system that SMUD doesn't want to touch because it's already in such a state of (disrepair),” said Acuna, referring to PG&E's admitted lack of maintenance of transmission lines and other equipment that has led to its potential to spark wildfires even in moderate winds. Lawsuits filed over that reported lack of upkeep, stemming from fires that have caused death and destruction throughout California, have left PG&E striving to survive bankruptcy. But it will survive that legal battle, opined members of the council, and Placerville and the rest of the county's residents will have to deal for years to come with PG&E's
decisions regarding when to shut down power in the event of windy conditions.
Power outages Toward that end, Acuna, Mayor Michael Saragosa and other leaders have been communicating with local PG&E representatives and with the company's brass in San Francisco regarding how to better predict and decide when such power outages are really necessary in Placerville and surrounding areas. It appeared toward the middle and end of last fall, when fire season traditionally hits a peak, that such talks were going fairly well — but Councilman Acuna told

Sue Novasel - El Dorado County Supervisor
VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE
With the county beginning to open, there is increasing resentment in the City of South Lake Tahoe over how Sue Novasel, South Lake Tahoe’s County Board of Supervisors Representative, has handled re-opening the city to visitors and local businesses. Critics say she has been slow to respond or non-responsive, has failed to lead and has not taken a strong stance during county meetings with regards to opening the basin to guests and allowing local businesses to re-open. Additionally, in a recent public meeting, Novasel asked, “When the statewide non-essential travel ban is lifted, could the county keep the non-essential travel ban to Tahoe in place?” Frustration was evident at Tuesday’s Board of County Supervisors meeting, with several callers voicing displeasure at Novasel’s handling of South Lake Tahoe’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With summer beginning, Novasel was still pushing “to open slowly”, at a time when several businesses said they were “hanging on by the tips of their fingers”. Novasel went on, at length, to recommend the requirement of wearing face masks rather than working on South Lake Tahoe’s economy and opening safely into Phase 3. Many upset callers mentioned how their businesses and sectors were ready to open utilizing proper California State requirements and protocols as directed by the Governor of California. During public comment, local business owner, Dreu Murin called out Novasel for her failure in representing her constituents and protecting the local economy. Murin weighed in during the meeting that Supervisor Novasel is completely “out of touch” with her constituents in the Lake Tahoe basin. Murin has assisted in funding over 150 local businesses with PPP loans valued at over 19 million dollars through Greater Commercial Lending. He stated that ZERO of these businesses were contacted or had a returned phone call from Novasel. Furthermore, businesses on the Nevada side and the Stateline Casinos, just feet away, are opening this week, and most Nevada lodging properties have been open for 2 weeks. Considering that the Nevada side is wide open, how does it make sense to keep the California side of South Lake Tahoe closed if Phase 3 has been approved by the Governor? With the direction of the Governor, the County’s have been given the ability to provide immediate approval to open into Phase 3 in conjunction with the Health Officer. Novasel claims she has been in contact with the business community and the Chambers of Commerce in South Lake Tahoe. The fact is Sue failed to return my calls and furthermore has NOT reached out to the South Tahoe Chamber as she claimed to discuss these serious economic issues in our community. Novasel has not reached out to consult with the commercial retail business community regarding the issues they are dealing with, and is obviously out of touch with our businesses and the community. Sue Novasel’s failure to lead and not represent our businesses and community is hurting South Lake Tahoe, and she has been absent in her performance also referred to as “out of touch” by Murin during the meeting. Novasel should be vigorously fighting to get South Lake Tahoe open safely and operating into Phase 3 as the Governor approved before we lose more businesses and jobs in our community. Novasel needs to lead or get out of the way. South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County needs strong leadership to bring our community out of this economic crisis caused by COVID 19. Our community, businesses and employees deserve better leadership. Gary Casteel, Jr. Vice President and General Manager Trans-Sierra Investments, Inc.

Art On the Divide artists freshened up their gallery with new paint and an updated logo.
he artists of Art On the Divide Cooperative Gallery are excited to announce the (provisional) re-opening. The gallery will follow state guidelines for this reopening and will take safety very seriously. The crew will take great care to keep the gallery clean and sanitized. Hand sanitizer will be available and disposable gloves will be available if any art is handled. In addition to creating new art AODC artists spent a little downtime creating a new logo. Also, fresh paint on the front door and sealed floors further enhance the gallery experience. June is the anniversary month for AODC Gallery — a Decade on the Divide. AODC has always celebrated with a garden party but this year will be an exception. As socialdistancing guidelines ease, events that were postponed will possibly be rescheduled or combined with another event in the future.
Recession coming? Would you like to own a part of a historical placer gold mine in the 49’er gold country 1 1/2 hours from El Dorado Hills as a hedge against a recession?
Call Terry 916.941.7786
While AODC is unable to host a party, the garden is open to take a stroll through; enjoy the historical rose garden now in bloom. The garden is open year-round directly behind the gallery. Submit your artwork for Sierra Inspirations, the seventh invitational art show scheduled to be held in September. It should be easy to create a Sierra subject that has provided inspiration. Complete details and the entry form is available at artonthedivide.com. AODC loves its community and appreciates all the support given in the last 10 years. Now, more than ever, you can help the gallery with a membership/donation. AODC plans to continue its annual art scholarships and funding for this through the DFAHS Membership. The gallery is also accepting donations of any kind to assist with operations. Follow the donate button on artonthedivide.com. AODC has modified hours of business, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Timed tickets will be available for specific dates to ensure that appropriate visitor capacities and physical distancing are maintained throughout the day. • Zoo members must reserve tickets in advance online as well. Ticket price included in membership. • Timed tickets will be available for reservation beginning on Wednesday, June 10 at noon.

We look forward to sharing these and other amazing animals with our community beginning June 15.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whether you climb your way up or start off in a higher position, sooner or later everything under you must be learned. That’s your favorite part! You’ll gladly take on the challenge. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Shame, blame, complaining -- these all get in the way of a good plan and a positive mindset. You will resist the temptation of such things and be guided to solutions to whatever ails you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Thinking is harder than it looks, which is why many get tired or lazy and want others to think for them. There are those who would take advantage of this. Give loved ones the benefit of your intellect and your protection. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Action is education today when the best way to learn, and perhaps the (SET ITAL) only (END ITAL) way, is by doing. Until you apply yourself, you won’t know what you know. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some relationships you seek. Others you earn. And then there are the ones you pick up by accident. Those are dealt to you by the hand of fate and will be your most profound teachers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not out to impress anyone, but you do have something to say. You wouldn’t mind if people were to come away from a conversation with you having more understanding than they started with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re halfway up the moun-
tain with the requisite vistas and views. It still feels like you’ve a long way to go to get to the top, but you’re worlds away from those who never embarked at all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). True, some are not pulling their weight, but you’re currently unconcerned with the division of labor. You’ll focus on your own contribution to the team and leave pettiness to others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes being a good leader, friend or partner means keeping your thoughts to yourself. Anyway, you don’t care if those around you think you’re smart or right. You care about spreading compassion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re more influential than you know, and there’s reason to be mindful of how others are experiencing you. There is intrinsic power in what you say, how you behave and even in your casual statements. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). States of being are tricky. You know when you’re in the zone, but you’re not entirely sure how to get there. It’s worth figuring out, as your production triples when you’re in that frame of mind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t reach for a flashlight in the noonday sun, but that’s precisely the best time to find one and get it ready for the evening hour of necessity.

Celebrating an exceptional octogenarian
Courtesy photos
Older Adult Services staff from multiple programs took a few minutes out of their day last week to share joy with a member of The Club, El Dorado County’s Older Adult Day program. Mitzi Pryor had been looking forward to a visit from her sisters in Minnesota for months to celebrate her 80th birthday and was very disappointed when they couldn’t come due to the public health crisis. Instead, she was treated to a drive-by celebration at The Club. Everyone stood along the sidewalk with a balloon and a birthday wish as Pryor and her daughter slowly drove by. Although The Club is currently closed, staff keeps all members engaged with weekly phone calls, activity boxes available for pick-up once a week and a YouTube channel, “The Club Placerville” with videos.

Reneé Hargrove Quilt Trail Project
T
he EDC-Farm Trails/Quilt Trail Project welcomes Boeger Winery as a recent and wonderful addition to its regionwide art project. Boeger Winery sits on a Gold Rush era homestead and is one of the most historical and enchanting wineries in the Sierra foothills. Greg Boeger, winner of the Wine Lifetime Achievement Award from the California State Fair (2018) and a Congressional Commendation for his contribution to California agriculture, founded Boeger Winery in 1972 and was the pioneer of the modern commercial wine industry of El Dorado County. Boeger became a pioneer in his own right by experimenting with lesserknown varietals such as barbera, carignane, refosco, charbono and aglianico, just to name a few of the over 30 varietals that the winery grows. Barbera emerged as the winery’s golden child early on and has garnered hundreds of awards over its lifetime under the Boeger label. The quilt block, named “Shine” for the effect it gives of light beaming outward, takes its colors and shapes
from the winery’s emblem of an arrowhead (Boeger means bowman, or archer, in Old German). But the feeling it elicits is one of expansion, movement and creative energy, representing the creativity and pioneering spirit of both the frontier ancestors and of Greg and Sue Boeger’s vision. The quilt hangs on the oldest structure still standing on the estate, a distillery built in 1860. The barn is now used as an art and yarn making studio by daughter Lexi Boeger. The barn quilt block was expertly painted by local artist Jane Harris. Boeger Winery is located at 1709 Carson Road, Placerville, and provides year-round wine tasting and exceptional hospitality 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Plan a picnic and find a perfect spot at a table or on the grass among the colorful grounds just outside the tasting room. Find them at boegerwinery.com or on Facebook facebook.com/ boegerwinery .

Rocklin’s Quarry Park Adventures reopens Quarry Park Adventures News release Quarry Park Adventures, the Sacramento Region’s one-of-a-kind outdoor aerial adventure experience, is thrilled to announce it will reopen for the 2020 season today under strict public health recommended physical-distancing and safety guidelines in response to COVID-19 and reflecting Gov. Newsom’s Phase 3 guidelines for outdoor recreation and family entertainment centers with guidance from the city of Rocklin. Due to its location within a quarry, Quarry Park Adventures is unique in the U.S.; a growing local attraction for guests across Northern California since the city of Rocklin brought in a new operator last season, Adventure Operations LLC. Its reopening will represent a great first step in offering families some options for outdoor recreation after weeks of being quarantined at home. Quarry Park Adventures, located in the 160-yearold Quarry District in downtown Rocklin, is a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience with adventure activities that are fun for the whole family. Featuring eight-adventure zones from zip lines and free-fall jumps to tranquil paddle boat rides, a truly incredible kids adventure area and more, Quarry Park Adventures is an unforgettable destination for people seeking a fun, easily accessible adventure in Northern California. Although there is nothing like Quarry Park Adventures in the western United States, what makes it a one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-duplicated experience is the site on which the park is located. The adventure park is built into and around what was one of the largest working granite quarries in California, the Big Gun Quarry. The park utilizes the huge quarry’s sheer walls, the quarry’s floor, the quarry rim, the 2-acre lake and even the 60-foothigh waterfall. All attractions will be open, with advanced reservations highly recommended and operated at limited capacity. “We are thrilled to be able to reopen, with strict safety guidelines for our staff family and guests, as the weather begins to warm up,” explained Dylan Burt, owner and managing partner of Adventure Operations LLC. “Families have been at home for months so this will give them a great local option to get outside and enjoy some fun, family entertainment together.” “Quarry Park Adventures is a treasure for Rocklin and the greater South Placer community. We are thrilled to be able to reopen this facility to serve families in the region as they are allowed to venture out and enjoy entertainment together again,” added Phil Lewis, Parks and Recreation director for the city of Rocklin. In addition to the usual safety measures, added COVID-19 mitigation measures will be of the utmost importance and Quarry Park Adventures has developed a tiered system of safety measures which will lessen as COVID-19 regulations ease according to public health authorities. These levels are outlined on its website very clearly, by color level — red, orange and yellow. Currently, COVID-19 safety levels are at a red/high level which includes:
For facilities and staff • Enhanced cleaning — All staff and guest areas are regularly and extensively cleaned, including check in areas, tables, restroom facilities and adventure park elements. Staff and guest safety equipment (harnesses, helmets, etc.) is cleaned between uses. • Staff training — Staff have received training on COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. • Staff screening — Staff are asked not to report to work if they or anyone they have come into contact with, are exhibiting signs of illness. Staff temperatures are screened upon arrival to work. • Staff personal protective equipment — All staff are equipped with proper protective equipment including gloves, masks and (where necessary for brief close encounters with guests) protective face shields.
For guests (while in red level/high safety precaution COVID prevention) • Limited capacity — The park is operated at limited capacity with advanced reservations highly recommended. • Household reservations only — Reservations are limited to not more than 10 guests per adventure start time. We ask that you book and adventure only with the members of your household. • Social distancing — Please maintain a 6-foot distance from others outside of your household group. Appropriate spacing is clearly marked where lines may queue and staff will ensure social distancing is maintained during the gear up process. • Hand washing and sanitizing — Bathrooms are available for regular hand washing and hand sanitizer is available within the park. • Qualifying questions — At registration, you will be asked to attest to a set of simple, health-related questions to best ensure the safety of guests and park staff. • Temperature check — At check-in, a no-touch thermometer will be used to check temperature prior to entering the gear up area. • Gloves — A new pair of adventure gloves will be provided for each booked guest in the quarry and is included in the price of your ticket. • Masks — Guests are asked to wear masks in all common areas of the park (gear up areas, ticketing, bathrooms) and if maintaining social distance is not possible for brief moments. Masks may be lowered when actively on the adventure courses provided social distancing is maintained. You may bring your own mask or purchase as an add on with your reservation or upon arrival at the park. For ticket reservations and more information visit QuarryPark.com.

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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 703-4708 or by referring to the website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/ OPRL/PWD. The rates at the time of the bid advertisement date of a project will remain in effect for the life of the project in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, as modified and effective January 27, 1997.

In the case of Federally funded projects, where Federal and State prevailing wage requirements apply, compliance with both is required. This Project is funded in whole or part by Federal funds. Comply with Exhibit D of the Draft Agreement and the Copeland Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 29 CFR Part 3), the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330 and 29 CFR Part 5). If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department of Transportation will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by Contractor and subcontractors, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. AWARD OF CONTRACT: As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit payment and performance bonds along with evidence of insurance prior to execution of the Agreement by the County. Failure to meet this requirement constitutes abandonment of the Bid by the Bidder and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. Award will then be made to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder. RETAINAGE FROM PAYMENTS: The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the Contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the County, by depositing securities of equivalent value with the County in accordance with the provisions of Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.

Harris Center to temporarily cease all operations Harris Center for the Arts News release
L
ike so many other live performance venues across the country, this year has proven to be anything but typical for Folsom Lake College’s Harris Center for the Arts. At this time, there continues to be great uncertainty on when indoor public events can safely resume in the aftermath of the COVID-19 health crisis. Based upon guidance from federal, state and local government officials and health experts, the Harris Center for the Arts will temporarily cease operations as of July 1. There is currently no timetable for the length of the temporary closure, but it is expected to last at least a year. The goal is to resume operations as soon as possible. The safety of patrons, artists, volunteers and staff remains the Harris Center’s highest concern. The venue is smaller than others in the region and the budgetary impacts of this crisis have been severe, making it challenging to sustain operations and implement
