Over and out?

Placement of a plaque honoring Navy Capt. Paul Jacobs at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville has been halted for the time being.

Workers take down the outdoor dining structure outside of Cascada in downtown Placerville Thursday morning after the City Council did not take action to extend outdoor dining permits in the city past June 18, mostly due to safety concerns. With the state granting such activity through the end of the year, but ultimately leaving the decision up to municipalities, a petition has been circulating this week in Placerville to keep the outdoor structures, which went up last summer to help restaurants restricted from operating indoors amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The placement of a memorial placard for Navy Capt. Paul Jacobs on the El Dorado County Veterans Monument’s Honor Wall has been stalled.

Jacobs, who died at his son’s Grizzly Flat home in December, has been credited with a humanitarian mission that rescued nearly 32,000 Vietnamese refugees in the Vietnam War. Challenging its placement is Rich Buchanan, a decorated Marine veteran, founder of the monument and past director for the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance.

Buchanan contacted county Veterans Service Officer Richard Todd, stating that he opposes the placement of the plaque at the Veterans Monument as governed by the Criteria for Military Honorarium and Civilian Recognition Ordinance addendum that was approved by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors in 2008.

A memo from Buchanan states, “While Capt.

Jacobs’ actions were commendable, they do not fulfill the approved criteria for this recognition as sought by the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance.”

The criteria as to who might be honored: Any person or unit who displays an action of extraordinary heroism where the U.S. is not a belligerent party and the act must have been committed in the presence of great danger at great personal risk.

“A lot has changed in our society since (the criteria was approved in 2008), including, I feel, the definition of what and who is a hero,”

Jaycee Lee Dugard abducted 30 years ago El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office News release SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Thirty years ago this past week in South Lake Tahoe a reallife horror story began when 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped while walking to the bus stop.

On June 10, 1991, sexual predator Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido abducted Dugard and imprisoned her in the backyard of their Antioch home. With

the help of community members, law enforcement sprang to action, conducting a massive search for Dugard. Her mother, Terry Probyn, never gave up hope but as the days and years went by there was no sign of her freckle-faced little girl.

Dugard endured 18 years of imprisonment by her kidnappers and raised two daughters while being held hostage in a ramshackle backyard compound.

Her unspeakable torment came to light in August 2009

after two astute U.C. Berkeley campus officers noticed something suspicious that led to the arrest of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, and the end of Dugard’s nightmare.

In her first public comment after the event, Dugard said her abductors stole her life.

The El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office has since prosecuted the couple and they are now serving long prison terms.

Phillip Raymond Mosbacher

Dec. 5, 1959 - June 10, 2021

Phillip Raymond Mosbacher, of Placerville passed away unexpectedly June 10 at the age of 61.

Phil was the tenth of 15 children born to Howard and Lucille Mosbacher; the first of their children born in Placerville. He attended El Dorado High School, played football and soccer and raised animals for 4-H. He was active in the Saint Patrick Catholic Church Youth Group. An avid outdoorsman from an early age, Phil hunted and roamed the woods near his home with his brothers and friends.

Phil attended American River College then graduated from California State University, Humboldt with a BS in forestry. Phil was on the crew team, either in the front stroke position or in the middle “engine room” position because he was so strong. He loved to talk about the time their club team went up against Stanford University in a race and won.

Realizing he wouldn’t meet many girls working in the forest, Phil switched to land surveying and moved to Redding, Calif. He became a professional land surveyor in both California and Nevada and later a certified arborist. He worked for Whitson Engineering in Redding and Gene Thorne and Associates in Cameron Park. As a land surveyor, Phil spent much of his time outdoors, chasing off angry dogs and hacking through thick brush.

He joined the El Dorado County Department of Transportation as an associate land surveyor in 2009 and was fortunate to be on a two-person team surveying part of the Rubicon Trail, carrying survey equipment and camping gear deep into Desolation Wilderness. He became the deputy county surveyor, then was elected County Surveyor in 2018, serving in that capacity from 2019 to present.

While in Redding, Phil married Karen Challe and had a son, Daniel. They were married for 12 years.

Phil’s outdoor adventures continued in Redding and Placerville as he competed in white water racing, climbed Mount Shasta multiple times and camped a lot. He was a three-time winner of the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Race, placing second and third multiple times.

In 2002 Phil married Susan Frost Lund and became an instant father to step-daughter Teresa Lund. He told Sue his job as her husband was to make her happy. (He succeeded.) As a devoted father, Phil joined the Boy Scouts of America with Daniel. He built rabbit hutches and sheep pens for Teresa’s 4-H projects. The family went on many camping trips in their old Volkswagen camper van.

Phil was the Cub Master for Pack 86 and later the Scout Master for Troop 88. (88 first rate!) In addition to teaching scouts to hike, backpack and camp, he also taught them navigation skills. He took them hiking at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, scuba diving at Sea Base in Florida and exploring at a National Jamboree in West Virginia. Through all of these activities, Phil’s purpose was to guide and lead the boys by example to live the Scout Law to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent. Phil lived the Scout Law and was a wonderful role model for the boys. He mentored nine Scouts to reach the rank of Eagle, including Daniel.

Later Phil became the chapter advisor for the Scout’s Honor Society of the Order of the Arrow for many years, even after Daniel aged out of the program.

Phil earned multiple scouting awards, including the Silver Beaver Award for exceptional character and distinguished service. He completed Wood Badge, an advanced national leadership program and used those skills in all aspects of his personal and professional life. He received the St. George Emblem for significant and outstanding contributions to the spiritual development of Catholic Youth through Scouting.

In 2000 Phil became involved with Adventure Racing which combined into one event his favorite sports: mountain bike riding, kayaking, hiking, rappelling and orienteering. He competed in multiple Cal Eco Adventure Race series, the first Primal Quest 10-day race in Telluride in 2002 and the 2003 Primal Quest Race in Lake Tahoe. His team, Adventure El Dorado, won the Perseverance Award in the Telluride race.

Living in Gold Country, it was inevitable Phil would develop an interest in gold panning and metal detecting. He participated in the 2016 World Gold Panning Festival.

Phil was a licensed Ham Radio Operator and board member of the El Dorado Amateur Radio Club. He participated in Summits On The Air which combined mountaineering and radio operation to make contacts with other HAMs and log points based on the height of the peak. He earned a fun award called a GOAT for reaching 1,000 points.

Phil’s latest adventure was Nugget, a yellow lab puppy. Phil was training her to be a hunting dog. It was a wonderful pairing, since Phil described himself as a Labrador retriever because he didn’t stay mad long, then it was back to “throw me the ball.”

Phil is survived by his wife of 19 years, Sue; son Daniel and step-daughter Teresa; siblings Nancy, Frank, Mary, Mike, Ken, Loretta, John, Don, Peggy, Eileen, Judy, Dave and Greg; plus 38 nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours at Chapel of the Pines, 2855 Cold Springs Road, Placerville, will be on Monday, June 21, from 4-6 p.m. followed immediately by a vigil and time for sharing memories until 8 p.m. Funeral services will be at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 3109 Sacramento St., Placerville, on Tuesday, June 22, starting with a rosary at 11:30 a.m., Mass at noon, followed by a reception in the church hall. Those who so desire may make a memorial donation in memory of Phil to the Mother Teresa Maternity Home.

David Wayne Waldon Jan. 31, 1952 - June 13, 2021

David Wayne Waldon, beloved father and grandfather, passed away June 13, surrounded by family in Sacramento, Calif. He was 69 years old.

An outdoorsman and Texan at heart, Dave was born in 1952 in Texarkana, Ark., to parents Lowell and Lucy Waldon. As a boy he loved fishing and hunting and working outside with his dad, a veteran that he highly admired. He fondly remembers his first job as a grocer and built his strong work ethic from then on.

Moving from Texas to California as an adult, Dave never lost his charming southern drawl or his love for the Dallas Cowboys. With his sense of humor and empathy for others, he made friends everywhere he went and served his community in many capacities.

As a car salesman and eventually dealership general manager, Dave was always interested in the automotive industry, but his passions spread far and wide. From traveling around the world to hunting down good, spicy foods at restaurants around town — Dave believed in living life to its fullest and lived as such. He was a history buff and avid reader, always looking to learn from those who came before us.

His greatest joys were his two children; Bart and Lindsey and granddaughter Rosemary. He loved his siblings, Gary, Keith, Vicki and Kaye and often bragged about their various achievements as well as those of their children.

He will be dearly missed by all and deeply loved forever. A service will be held Tuesday, June 22 at Westwood Hills Memorial Park located at 2720 Cold Springs Road, Placerville.

Funeral notice Gary F. Littlejohn

Celebration of Life for Gary F. Littlejohn will be held June 26 at 11 a.m. at our home. Please call (530) 644-3396.

Cristopher Paul “Casey” Farrell

Sept. 28, 1954 - April 13, 2021

Cris passed away peacefully at the age of 66 after a short battle with lung cancer. Cris was born in Eugene, Oregon, birth name Garnett Paul “Casey” Jones. His mom married Milton Farrell in 1958, changing his name to Cristopher Paul Farrell.

Cris had many interesting jobs and hobbies. His most gratifying career achievement was being hired

by Rockwell International in the aerospace program building space shuttles as an air frame structures and systems integration specialist until 1989.

After moving to El Dorado County, his passion would become gold prospecting, mining and panning. He won numerous medals gold panning in the State, National and World Championships to include Men’s State Gold Panning Champion, as well as state and national champions with his team “Goldschlaggers.” He also shared a successful engraving business with his partner in life Maureen Flores.

In 2016, Cris found his birth father’s family and came to know and love all his new-found siblings and family members.

Cris is survived by his sisters Colleen (Lalo), Kathleen (Mike); nephew Cody; stepmom Lia; Uncle Art (Faye); step-siblings Ted (Angie), Dagmar (Rod), Pam and Spike, as well as numerous cousins and friends; life partner and best friend Maureen and her family Robert and Marcella, Christina, Nick, Raymond, Anthony, Alyssa, Derek, Deja and Jaxon. He was preceded in death by his mom Carol; stepdad Milt Farrell; birth dad Donald Jones; sister Inola Jones; cousin Steve Jones and his beloved dog Panner.

Internment will be June 22, at 10 a.m. East Lawn Mortuary, 5757 Greenback Lane, Sacramento.

A celebration of life will be held at Green Valley Community Church, 3500 Missouri Flat Road, Green Valley, Placerville June 22 at noon. Food and drinks will be served. Please share memories and/ or photos that we can share together. In lieu of flowers we ask that a donation be made to the Lung Foundation of America.

Lennar will appeal denial Fire crews douse 10-acre fire for more senior living Sel Richard Staff writer A new El Dorado Hills senior community, Heritage at Carson Creek Village 11, is now in the hands of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors.

Lennar Homes’ proposal for an age-restricted residential village just south of its Heritage El Dorado Hills development was recently denied by the El Dorado County Planning Commission based on incompatible zoning uses, undesirable promotion of certain housing development types, lack of right-of-ways for a connective road to the Sacramento County area and insufficient driveway lengths.

Lennar representatives will now take the project directly to the Board of Supervisors to appeal.

The project requires an amendment to the Carson Creek Specific Plan, which Lennar presented to the commission last week, concurrently seeking approval for a tentative subdivision map and development agreement.

The 132-acre project site will house 409 age-restricted units with a 3.1acre private clubhouse site; 1.7 acres are set aside for local convenience commercial, 13.5 acres for open space and 30 acres for parkland.

The specific plan amendment seeks to convert land use categories from industrial and research and development to residential, as well as increase the specific plan unit cap from 1,700 to 1,925 units. A slight increase in open space results from the conversion.

Chad Roberts, representative for Lennar Homes, pointed out that despite the similar names, this project is separate from the Carson Creek Village Specific Plan. It is located east of that site and not within the El Dorado Hills Business Park. Village 11 sits southwest of Blackstone and will be an extension of Lennar’s Heritage at El Dorado Hills community.

He maintained that benefits provided to the county include the fulfillment of needs to house an aging population, the generation of more than $2 million in community benefit and development agreement fees

and the extension of the public trail system.

Roberts said the project also dramatically reduces traffic impact.

Based on the county’s travel demand model land use assumptions, he cited proposed Average Daily Trips at just 10% of approved ADT and proposed afternoon peak hour trips down to a mere 6% of approved trips. He then touted a $50 per unit supplemental ambulance services tax to provide enhanced public safety services.

He assured that adequate water supply is available to serve the project.

Commissioner Amanda Ross expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed land use category placement. “The areas that you’re trying to rezone don’t provide a buffer between the existing industrial zones that are going to abut this new development,” she said, referring to the Broadridge and DST Output facilities. “I would not want to live next to a 22-foot wall and have trucks driving 24/7.”

Lennar has invested in noise attenuation on that building, Roberts responded. “We don’t view this as a conflict in any way and don’t think that noise is an issue,” he said, indicating a 30-foot buffer in the plans.

Harm to endangered species in the area was mentioned during public comment. In addition, El Dorado Hills Community Services District Parks and Planning Director Tauni Fessler requested that the CSD be added to the development agreement.

Other issues discussed included 18-foot driveways as being too short and insufficient effort put into conforming to approved uses.

Roberts countered that the area has an oversupply of those land use categories. “The demand simply doesn’t exist right now for industrial and R&D uses,” he said.

County Auditor-Controller Joe Harn chimed in, saying, “We’re getting more dollars and cents out of this development agreement than any other development agreement that’s ever been executed in El Dorado County.” n

A 10-acre vegetation fire sparked Wednesday, initially posing a threat to homes in the area of Equestrian Trail and Square Nail Trail, south of Pilot Hill. Firefighters from Cal Fire’s Amador-El Dorado Unit and the El Dorado County Fire Protection District worked all afternoon to stop the blaze, bringing it to 100% containment by 5:20 p.m. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

California Matters

Newsom owes apology for EDD’s failings

W

ere Gov. Gavin Newsom as humble as he often proclaims to be, he would interrupt his “California Comeback” campaign long enough to issue a personal apology to hundreds of thousands of Californians who DAN WALTERS remain mired in the managerial meltdown at the Employment Development Department.

Yes, as Newsom constantly reminds us, the threat from COVID-19 has diminished and the state’s battered economy is slowly recovering.

Nevertheless, California has the nation’s second highest unemployment rate and well over a million California workers are still jobless, many of whom qualify for unemployment insurance benefits — if they can ever get their applications resolved.

Journalists who write about economic issues, including yours truly, receive steady streams of emails from frustrated claimants who can’t get their calls answered and/or have their benefits frozen for reasons that are never explained.

A lengthy message from “Lindsay” typifies the sad syndrome. She worked for a travel agency before being laid Gov. Gavin off last year and has been dealing with the Newsom owes EDD bureaucracy, or an apology trying to deal, ever since, to those who even after returning to part-time work. have suffered One passage: “It distress from the wasn’t until April 22 state’s inability that I got my back pay for the previous 6 1/2 to process weeks I went without a unemployment dime. Mind you during insurance claims. this time I had lost my car insurance (twice), missed being able to celebrate Christmas or buy gifts, couldn’t pay rent or really eat. I barely take home $600 twice a month from work too.

“After the last back pay I received it wasn’t even a full week before realizing I had not received any money from EDD. I guess because I had this $1,500 in back pay that was deposited. I hadn’t really calculated the fact that I was missing two of my weeks that I just certified for and logged in to my (unemployment insurance) account to see that EDD had randomly disqualified me for two weeks of pay without any reasoning, no information sent to me or emailed, and this occurred without notifying my employer.

The problems with EDD first surfaced 14 months ago, when the economy was shutting down due to Newsom’s emergency orders, and

Letters to the Editor The wrong decision for seniors EDITOR: o more meals at the Lions Hall — what’s next for seniors in El Dorado County?

The Lions Hall could only lower the rental amount by $300, citing the cost of cleaning needed for the hall. Why can’t the county use its own janitorial services to help the Lions Hall negotiate a lower rental amount?

I attended the State of the County luncheon where District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl noted that county revenue had gone up more than expected. Why then is so much being cut from senior services? Seniors are the backbone of this county, making up about 39% of the population.

County officials claim that those seniors displaced (those who used the Lions Hall for lunch) can go to the senior center instead. These seniors have bonded with others at the Lions Hall and to expect them to just move to another facility, where they might have no friends, is cruel. It might also be a longer commute for seniors.

(Lunch at the Lions Hall) offers a chance for seniors to connect. It may be their only social connection.

Your votes count, seniors. Become an informed voter. Know what your (local representatives) stand for and how they vote on seniors issues.

Taking back our country EDITOR:

W

e need to take back our institutions of “lower learning.” This is where the socialist beliefs have festered in our youth. They once were taught the blessings of liberty, our history, national pride and morals as a part of our society. Our youth planned for their future instead of thinking they were entitled to anything they wanted.

The believers in socialism knew our youth would be vulnerable to their ideas in the absence of guidance from home, their teachers and religion. So they put their teachers in place to

spew their beliefs, failed as they are, on our youth. We must put back in our schools the learning that made this country like no other in world history. This country has nothing to apologize for except the actions of the few who have run it in their own best interest.

This country was founded on the idea of freedom of the individual. If someone is offended, they have the freedom to go somewhere that they will not be offended. The same for political correctness. Unless you are forced to be offended, forced to hear something that is not politically correct, you have the freedom to go elsewhere.

You cannot legislate morality, dignity, common sense, respect, care and compassion. They must be learned and passed on from one generation to the next. Hate has to be taught. This is where we are failing miserably. We are not watching what is being taught again.

Next, we secure our right to vote against all intrusion. This past election has shown how vulnerable an election is to outside intervention.

Following freedom this is our next sacred right.

Without it, we are not free.

When it comes to the propaganda and tactics of the socialists, ask of yourself: “Why should I live by their rules; they do not want to live by mine?” This is a free country — at least it used to be. They can go somewhere else to live, even leave this country if they want. Why should I be submissive to their demands?

Would not the world be a happier place if everyone would leave each other alone? Everyone would be concerned about their own lives, that of their families and the welfare of their country.

Using the race card or the “poor me” issues to get their demands would be past history.

Life is not a bed of rose petals. There are some thorns in life also. How we deal with those thorns make us who we are as a person and country.

Newsom promised to fix them. “We have to meet the moment,” he told reporters then. “We have to provide more support.”

In fact, however, the glitches continued and became steadily worse. The most recent EDD bulletin says it has a backlog of nearly 230,000 unresolved claims, a number that has been growing lately, not shrinking.

When Newsom launched his California Comeback campaign with a lavishly choreographed State of the State speech in March, he obviously meant it to blunt a recall campaign aimed at short-circuiting his political career.

He touted progress on dampening the pandemic and rebuilding the economy and closed with “Our hopeful vision of our brighter future is the basis for the decisions we make today. We place faith over fear — optimism over pessimism. The power is in our hands.”

Newsom did not, however, even mention the never-resolved crisis at EDD that he had promised to repair nearly a year earlier. The revised state budget he unveiled in May does mention it, saying blandly, “The pandemic has exposed many of EDD’s antiquated processes and outdated infrastructure, resulting in a delay or inability

for many Californians to access (unemployment) benefits.”

Duh. Everybody, including Newsom, knew that more than a year ago. Subsequently, EDD managed to hand out billions of dollars to fraudsters while jobless workers like Lindsay have suffered economic stress because he didn’t make good on his promise, which is why he owes them a humble apology.

The media also say, “The middle class is in decline.”

It’s true, Mitchell pointed out. “It’s shrinking because more people move into upper-income quintiles. The rich get richer in a capitalist society.

But guess what? The rest of us get richer as well.”

Cox earns first SCCT win Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway Justyn Cox had been knocking on the door of a Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory several times over the last few years and on Saturday night that call was finally answered at Placerville Speedway. The Clarksburg racer battled up front all race long and crossed the checkered flag to pick up $4,000 at the 30th Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial.

Cox spent the early stages of the race battling Kalib Henry, who earlier captured the High Sierra Industries Dash. Hanford’s Michael Faccinto was also right there in the mix and eventually took over second before coming after Cox for the lead.

The pair proceeded to battle tooth and nail for the top spot until things got a little too close for comfort in turn three. It resulted in Faccinto getting into a spin and being contacted by Justin Sanders, who had nowhere to go.

After that slowdown Cox hit his marks lap after lap and fended off a late challenge from Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick to claim his initial Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph. By way of winning the main event Cox also became the brand new SCCT point leader heading into next Saturday’s event at Petaluma Speedway.

Carrick came home in second,

Justyn Cox, in the No. 7c machine, right, speeds around Ryan Robinson’s No. 17. followed by Hard Charger Award winner Ryan Robinson, who carved his way from 17th to third, taking home a prize valued at $500.

Placerville’s Andy Gregg at one point charged from 23rd to fourth before getting caught in a spin.

Rounding out the top five in the 35-lapper were Auburn’s Andy Forsberg and Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery. Completing the top 10 were Kalib Henry, Shane Hopkins, Zane Blanchard, Shane Golobic and Justin Bradway.

The evening’s B-main went to Isaiah Vasquez, while heat races were captured by Tanner Carrick, Justyn Cox, Kaleb Montgomery and Michael Faccinto. Justin Sanders earned the $500 overall fast time award by clocking an 11.090 around the quarter-mile.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Bathing in the golden light of the sun charges up your fire sign batteries and fuels the day’s peak activities. Of course, there’s a point of diminishing returns, which is when shade and sunscreen are your best friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Oddly enough, in the matter of other people’s perceptions, strategic timing can get you there faster than strategic effort. You’ll work smart to position yourself. You’ll go from underestimated to the undisputed champion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The older people want to be younger, the younger people want to be older. How unusual to be a person who sees what’s here to seize, in this day, at this age. This is rare, and therefore also beautiful.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is art in the concept, but the concept is not the art until it is constructed and able to be experienced with the senses by someone in the world at large, not in the world of the artist’s imagination.

In short, bring it to life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like a juggler, you will launch your props into flight constantly and repeatedly. For you and the juggler, things get impressive not after you’ve successfully executed them once, but after you’ve done so for a length of time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The move to cover up vulnerability with a distraction is valid enough, though you become wiser by resisting such a dodge -- acknowledging your fear and respecting the potential for pain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When a dream becomes reality, the experience of it is inevitably going to be different.

Otherwise, what would be the point of working to make things real? Expect the difference and get ready to welcome however that shows up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As you resolve yourself to a meaningful goal, your ego, nervous and threatened by the newness of it all, will chatter away, harassing your life.

Just ignore. Neglected egos have a way of settling down on their own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you repeat an attempt that didn’t work a dozen times, success will depend only on luck, which is not helpful to you. Analyze, hypothesize and experiment. Your scientific approach will eventually get a favorable result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a carefree feeling in the air, which you’ll breathe into your lungs and let oxygenate the blood that energizes your mind to generate the whimsy that your body will impulsively dance to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The tools of a masterful practitioner eventually become extensions of the self; body, mind and tool become one entity in the creation process.

You’re almost there.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll inhabit two different worlds and an auspicious cross-pollination will occur. The thoughts from one world will empower the physicality of the other, or an idea will take a new form in the other environment.

like that,” Whitlock said.

Whitlock was honored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness El Dorado County at a Board of Supervisors meeting last month for his leadership, compassion and understanding of the intersection between law enforcement and mental illness.

“I just can’t say enough about deputy Whitlock,” said NAMI El Dorado County President Karis

Holman. “If there’s someone that we’re hearing from, the family or from the person, and they are slipping through the cracks and not getting help, it’s key having deputy Whitlock and right away he can plug in the right person to help our family members and loved ones in our community that really need our help.”

Even on his days off if a crisis occurs, Whitlock will always go out of his way to do what he can.

“Deputy Whitlock, God bless you for all your work and all (that) you’ve done for our county,” said District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo at the board meeting.

Whitlock said he knew since his days at Casa Roble High School that one day he wanted to be in law enforcement.

“I kind of took a different route,” Whitlock said.

He went to Sierra College for a little bit and ended up getting a job for the U.S. Forest Service as a firefighter, where he worked for two seasons.

Then he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and spent four years doing different jobs, including nuclear security.

When he got out he began working for Southwest Airlines, eventually moving up to supervisor.

As the days ticked on he missed the camaraderie of being in the military and reenlisted with the Army National Guard, where he was a flight engineer on a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.

He made his way up to crew chief in the National Guard and served in Afghanistan in 2008 and 2009.

Returning to a commute from his home in Somerset to Oakland International Airport to work for Southwest Whitlock said he wanted to find employment closer to home. He applied for a correctional officer position with the Sheriff ’s Office and began working at the jail in Placerville as an inmate services officer.

In the four years he worked there he

Premier Business Directory

communicated with inmates and if they need something, they requested it through Whitlock. He also took a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team class.

He applied for a deputy position and got it, serving two years on patrol in Tahoe and Placerville before his current opening arose in 2019.

“It interests me and I seem to have the right personality, the demeanor to build a rapport with some of these folks who we’ve come in contact with, which is really helpful when it comes to trying to determine the best course of action or the route that they’re going to take,” Whitlock said.

On top of being with PERT and CIT, he is also one of two first aid and CPR instructors for the Sheriff ’s Office and rotates as a search and rescue coordinator.

But his main role is with PERT and the CIT where he is constantly looking at his caseload to monitor mental health in El Dorado County.

“I’m there strictly to make sure people are safe and that they’re going to stay safe. And if they need help, to get them the help that they need,” Whitlock said.

Commission Chair Jon Vegna, who has repeatedly advocated for a long-range approach to connectivity through the business park to Sacramento County, said he was disappointed with the lack of options for the possibility of future right-of-ways. “We’ve lost another opportunity to look at what’s a good way to move traffic through here and get to that Empire Ranch interchange,” he said, admitting that it is not a formal requirement.

Commissioners John Clerici, James Williams and Ross voted for denial with Vegna and Cheryl BlyChester voting against the denial.

A bronze plaque depicts Navy Capt. Paul Jacobs in his officers dress shoes, shoving a helicopter off the deck of his ship alongside crew members to make room for 12 South Vietnamese aircraft carrying refugees to land on his ship.

Buchanan said. “To be clear, never have we said that Capt. Jacobs should not be honored; we did ask the hard question; we did offer a more fitting site at the Monument Plaza, which we believe will please the family but fell on deaf ears.”

John Poimiroo, El Dorado County Veterans Affairs commissioner and secretary-treasurer of the Veterans Alliance, said the criteria does not make mention of the Honor Wall. There are 31 bronze plaques at the monument site, with 16 on the Honor Wall.

The ordinance addendum also states that any plaque being placed on the monument requires a vote of a representative from each of the eight chartered veterans organizations in the county, something Veterans Alliance President Gary Campbell said has never happened since his involvement with the organization — dating back to 2011; the $1 million monument was first dedicated in 2006.

Poimiroo said the criteria was never followed while Buchanan was on the board of directors for the Veterans Alliance and that Buchanan put up plaques that did not meet the criteria, noting that members of the organization

Optimist

were surprised by the objection to the placard’s placement.

“We knew nothing about this and so it comes right out of the blue,” Poimiroo said.

“Does that mean all the rest of those bronze plaques need to be removed? And all the people they honor ignored? What about those on the Honor Wall who don’t meet this criteria? There are several that don’t.

Do they need to be removed?” Poimiroo questioned.

There is talk of a public hearing to be held Monday, June 21, at 9 a.m. via Zoom, although no confirming information has been released yet. The Veterans Alliance has written a request to hold the hearing in person.

“Obviously the criteria is flawed. It was never used. (Buchanan) was asked about it at the time he left the board and he never mentioned it,” Poimiroo said.

“For one person to block honoring such a heroic deed, such a humanitarian thing, and for the U.S. Navy to say it is the single most significant humanitarian accomplishment in their history — come on, that doesn’t deserve a place on our wall of honor?”

Campbell said.

If the hearing takes place, the process of

approving placement of the plaque on the Honor Wall could go on for weeks more, Poimiroo said.

Capt. Jacobs’ service was honored at Memorial Day ceremony at the monument this year. Dedicated but not placed was a bronze plaque depicting him in his officers dress shoes, shoving a helicopter off the deck of his ship alongside crew members to make room for 12 South Vietnamese aircraft carrying refugees to land on his ship.

The plaque was presented to Tyler Jacobs, Capt. Jacobs’ son.

“They should not have questioned my father or should not have questioned what he has done,” Tyler Jacobs said.

old Country Artists Gallery, an awardwinning artists’ cooperative located in Placerville, features the work of Thelma White, Randy Honerlah and Valerie Bye in June.

Layer by layer White has always been involved in creating art in one form or another. Clandestine drawings on closet walls by age 4 and papier mâché dinosaurs by age 8 were the earliest entries in her extensive and diverse portfolio, which has come to include watercolor, acrylic and oil painting, ceramics, clay sculpting and wood carving. After trying the Japanese art of origami, White became fascinated by the complex art of paper cutting and folding.

At Gold Country Artists Gallery White displays three-dimensional, collage-style works of wall art in which she constructs fantastical scenes incorporating a wide variety of media. The completed work is sealed into a shadowboxtype frame, which accommodates each artwork’s approximate 2-inch depth.

White’s assemblages are created by pasting photographs onto heavy paper, cutting out sections of the photographs and then applying the sections in layers onto a painted background, gradually building up the layers using “stanchions” made of cardboard until she reaches the desired three-dimensional effect. She enhances her paper cuttings with polymer clay sculpting, embroidery, artificial flowers, fabric, ribbon and lace and embellishes them with small trinkets, charms, rhinestones, beads and buttons.

The subjects White depicts in her unique artwork reflect her fascination with magical creatures and beings. For example, White has a passion for the beauty and incredible n

hil Lachapelle is an artist at Gold Country Artists Gallery in Placerville who depicts his love for the foothills of the Sierra Nevada by creating beautiful oil paintings featuring rolling hills, lakes and mountains.

At least, that’s his day job.

But Lachapelle has a secret side to him quite different from the serene landscape artist that visitors to the gallery have come to know.

Lachapelle is an automobile designer at heart, whose creative designs were influenced by the Alfa Romeo Montreal, the Aston Martin Zagato, the Lamborghini Espada, the Ferrari Portofino and the Scarab Reventlow, among others. Lachapelle may not have fulfilled his lifelong dream of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world, but he is the envy of many as he has traveled in the rarified and glamorous world of designer sports cars.

next generation of talented, local artists Carolyn S. Dyle Placerville Arts Association

T

he Placerville Arts Association Community Outreach Program originated in 1965 when members wanted to cultivate the arts among youth in the community. Called the Scholarship Fund at its inception, PAA presented a $1,500 college scholarship annually to a graduating senior from one of the local high schools.

“We used to go to the high schools and do a presentation in the art classes,” recalled local artists and PAA members Valerie Bye and Cathy Keil (vice president). “One of the stipulations, as I remember, was that the student intended to pursue a career in something art related. That could be visual, performing or music.”

PAA raised money to support the annual grants from community members, sale of donated artworks and the sale of raffle tickets at the annual Mother Lode Art Exhibition. The annual grants were appreciated by the schools and recipients alike. Since the program’s inception, PAA has donated to all the schools in the area.

Although the Scholarship Fund successfully supported arts education for many individuals through the years, with one recipient earning a teaching degree and a career in art education, PAA members’ desire to expand support from one individual annually to a wider group was a catalyst for the evolution of the fund to the current PAA

outreach. PAA aims to provide at least a $500 grant to a local school district annually to help schools with art supplies so more students will benefit each year. Fortunately, the generosity of community members and member artists have continued to support the success of the outreach program through monetary donations, donations of workshop honorariums and donations of artworks which exhibited on PAA’s website and are auctioned annually to raise money for the grants.

This year PAA was able to provide a $500 grant to the Mother Lode Union School District to provide art supplies for Indian Creek Elementary School and Herbert Green Middle School. In addition, a $120 grant in the form of a Blick Art Supply gift certificate was given to Clara Fennell, a local student and artist.

Clara is PAA’s youngest member and the association’s members hope other young aspiring artists in the community will feel welcome to join us as well. Clara is a talented teen who has experimented with many art mediums, including watercolor, charcoal, pastels, acrylics and sculpting.

However, graphite pencils and oil painting are her favorite and she creates some impressive images. Clara said art is her calming portal to escape the world around us by letting her focus on constructing colorful, expressive images.

Lavender’s soothing scent has been linked to health benefits like managing migraines, soothing anxiety and improving sleep.

In doing so Sutter Street Theatre celebrates the regions heritage.

Once a staple of entertainment for the foothills and Folsom, the melodrama is a disappearing art form.

With the Gaslight Theatre Melodrama missing for more than 20 years, theater leaders said they felt it was time to bring melodrama back to Sutter Street.

The melodrama is entertainment in its purest form with minimal glitz, just pure fun for all ages.

Gold Rush Sal. The audience can “boo” the villain and cheer the hero. There will be plenty of cowboys, outlaws, dance hall girls and even a barbershop quartet. The evening is capped off with a classic oleo — a variety show, the predecessor to vaudeville and burlesque. It includes fast-paced musical

numbers interspersed with comedy skits and sing-alongs.

With everything that has gone on this year, it is great to step out of the rush and pressure of modern-day life to a simpler time when people went to the theater for pure fun and entertainment. Sutter Street Theatre’s goal is not to change the world,

just entertain it and ”Way Out West” fits this goal perfectly.

Showtimes are 7 p.m.

June 18, 19, 25 & 26 and July 2 and 4 p.m. June 20 & 27 plus a 2 p.m. special performance on July 3 to give people time to get to the rodeo.

Sutter Street Theatre is located at 710 Sutter St., Folsom. For reservations call (916) 353-1001.

buttered and salty ‘Luca’ HHH PG, 1 hour, 35 minutes Animation Now streaming on Disney+

S

ometimes simple is better.

Joshua B. Porter For several years Democrat correspondent now Pixar Studios in Emeryville has cornered the film market with extremely high-quality stories and animation.

Often, with films like “Up,” “Inside Out,” “Coco” and “Soul,” some of these films could be considered “high brow” with their themes and story, at least when it comes to family animated fare. Pixar’s team members would probably respond with a jovial “Guilty as charged!” They pride themselves on challenging the audience with heartwarming stories and layered themes. This is why they literally appeal to people of all ages.

With Enrico Casarosa’s feature film debut “Luca,” Pixar and the creative talent behind the film have made a straightforward story to remind us about simpler times. The story takes place on the Italian Riviera (the director is Italian) and revolves around a friendship that develops between two boys whose shared goal is to win a race and buy themselves a vespa. There is more, of course, but that’s the general plot. Two young men whose dream is to get the money to purchase the Italian brand of scooter. The scooter represents freedom for these young men.

Some have been critical that “Luca”doesn’t “feel

like Pixar,” but I think these critics are completely missing the point. When you look at the complete filmography of Pixar films — features as well as short films — there is an impressive diversity to the look, tone and themes of all of them. “Luca” feels a little different. It has a softer look with a more pastel color pallet, perfect for the Italian Riviera. I’ve read interviews where some have compared the look and style to Hideo Miyazaki’ “Ponyo.” That film looks great and Miyazaki is a genius, so the “Luca” team should take that as a huge compliment.

Regardless, I loved the softer, more relaxed look of “Luca” compared to the crisper aesthetic of some of the studio’s earlier fare as the animators were honing their craft with computer generated animation. “Luca” has its own feel, comparatively, and it’s a breath of fresh air.

Even when a film is considered one of their “misses,” Pixar Animation still carries themselves as the premier storytelling apparatus in Hollywood. I don’t consider this a miss, however, and feel like the change in tone and style sets this film apart. It is a wonderful way for families to start the summer movie season (if you have Disney+, that is) and “Luca,” in the timehonored tradition of other Pixar movies, completely sticks the emotional landing of the ending. It may not be its best but it is a charming, heartwarming tale of friendship and discovery.

Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/ producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@ mtdemocrat.net.

Years ago Lachapelle was a young car aficionado headed to the sunshine, fast cars and movie-star allure of Southern California. He was newly accepted into the Art Center College of Design, one of only 11 students allowed into this prestigious and extremely demanding program.

“I entered the land of freeways and was completely in awe of the terrain, lifestyle and architecture of Los Angeles. The Art Center was located in a beautiful residential neighborhood bordering Third Street in West L.A.,” Lachapelle recalled.

“The building looked more like a wealthy person’s mansion than a school, with its expansive front lawn and long circular driveway.”

Lachapelle said he remembers the joy of working outdoors on the school’s front lawn, sketching significant cars such as Duesenberg, Ferrari, Mercedes, Packard, Maserati, Ford, Jaguar and others. These classes were a welcome relief from

“Field visits to various car dealers and product design projects were also quite enjoyable,” Lachapelle said.

James Garner take delivery of a gorgeous, Rosa Rubino colored Ferrari 400 California Spyder. To us, running our hands along the smooth subtle creases and undulations of an exotic car body was like being in a car design student’s paradise.”

These sports cars were often described as having attributes that one might use to describe a beautiful woman. Lachapelle’s acrylic painting “Ferrari Concept” looks like an automobile version of a 1960s Vargas pin-up girl with its sculpted flanks caressing the rear wheels, a fastbackstyle rear window and the lustrous gloss of a rich royal blue. It looks braced to leap forward at a touch.

Lachapelle has captured the allure of being in control of a machine like this — fast, powerful and fun.

Lachapelle’s “Aston Martin Concept,” circa 1967, shows the iconic car from two views. Once again, the curves and lines are enticing and provocative. In Lachapelle’s pencil and ink rendering, we can even see into the car, to the steering wheel and dashboard details.

Lachapelle also did renderings of American cars, as seen in his

“Oldsmobile Tornado Concept” in cool greens or his “Cadillac Concept” with bold yellows wrapping around a wide grille. Lachapelle’s “Chevrolet Nomad Concept” is a pencil and ink drawing showing a car with nearly 360-degree windows, giving it a feeling of being wide open to the future with nothing to hide; the artist’s use of wild magenta colors hints at the psychedelic nature of the times.

Just in time for Father’s Day, Lachapelle’s renderings of his beloved cars show true appreciation for the form. The idea that under the hood could be track-proven hardware is simply implied and for those who don’t understand the attraction, only an aficionado would say, “You’ve got to drive it to understand …” But for anyone who can only imagine, having one of Lachapelle’s rendered gems comes in at a close second.
