Smith gets 16-plus years in state prison
Express delivery
Mountain Democrat staff Anthony B. Smith has been sentenced to 16 years and six months in state prison for killing 14-year-old Camino resident Julianna Abballo in a Feb. 8 DUI hit-and-run. The sentence came June 14 following a plea agreement by El Anthony B. Smith Dorado County Superior Court Judge Jamie Pesce, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Smith, 23, pleaded guilty in May to charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, hit-and-run resulting in death and driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. Prosecutors said Smith also admitted to special allegations that he fled the scene of the collision, was previously arrested for driving while impaired and that he had a blood alcohol level over .15%.

federal revenue to address homelessness, nearly $4 million to fund the sheriff ’s helicopter with an additional $800,000 in ongoing operation costs, $76,500 for Placerville city pool maintenance and $2.2 million in support of Caldor Fire recovery costs. The Board of Supervisors also approved to offset maintenance costs for the Placerville Aquatic Center for fiscal years 2020-21 and 2021-22. The county is adding $6 million to capital projects designations, totaling an ending balance of nearly $27 million, and adding $450,000 to the General Reserve, which is expected to end the 2022-23 fiscal year with nearly $10.8 million.

The second source is 1,800 acre-feet of saved water resulting from replacing ditch water with a pipeline from Forebay. This saved water is pre1914 water and its sale only requires approval from the USBR. This saved water goes through the powerhouse and then is released into the South Fork of the American River to Folsom Lake.

GDPUD issues water conservation measures Gloria Omania Georgetown Divide Public Utility District In response to new drought regulations now in effect in California the Board of Directors of the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District issued a Level 2 water warning, which implemented emergency water conservation measures on June 14 to reduce water demand within the boundaries of the district that includes the communities of Cool, Garden Valley, Georgetown, Greenwood, Kelsey and Pilot Hill. On May 24 the State Water Resources Control Board adopted an emergency water conservation regulation in response to the governor’s Executive Order N-7-22 on drought conditions, dated March 28. The GDPUD Board of Directors authorized the
district to join a statewide coalition of urban water suppliers to offer comments on the emergency regulation. The coalition requested that the state water board amend the regulation to allow water suppliers discretion to implement their own water shortage contingency plan actions based on results of each agency’s annual water supply and demand assessment. While the coalition’s attempt to amend the regulation was unsuccessful, the coalition was able to have some language in the regulation modified that could offer some flexibility. Beginning June 10 the district was required to implement Level 2 water conservation measures outlined in the district’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan. Level 2 water conservation measures target up to a 20% reduction in overall water use.
To achieve this demand reduction, the district’s water shortage contingency plan includes: • Administering the water waste ordinance that prohibits wasteful practices such as runoff from landscape irrigation, requires automatic hose shutoffs, requires customers to repair leaks, breaks and malfunctions in a timely fashion and limits landscape irrigation to specific times • Shortening the irrigation season by 20% • Decreasing line flushing • Offering water surveys and providing largest water users with best practices • Improving customer billing by including usage by gallons per day • Administering restrictions on commercial establishments (i.e., serving water only upon request, lodging establishments must offer opt out of linen service).
GDPUD Operations Manager Adam Brown stated these water conservation methods will be monitored closely with monthly reports to the board during the emergency regulation period, expected to be one year. The district will launch a water conservation public information campaign to educate the public about drought conditions, the emergency water conservation measures and best practices for water conservation. The GDPUD website (gd-pud.org) will dedicate a section to water conservation and detail information associated with the implementation of the Level 2 emergency water conservation measures. The board discussed public outreach efforts to provide drought and emergency water conservation updates. Directors and staff will host an information booth at the Garden Valley Fourth of July
event to talk directly with customers and distribute water conservation kits. The district continues to promote the WaterSmart customer portal to help customers track water use and spending with an easy-to-use web and mobile portal. Customers can register by logging on to gd-pud.org/watersmartcustomer-portal or by calling the district office at (530) 333-4356 for information. The 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, which includes water shortage contingencies, can be found on the district’s website at gd-pud.org/2020-urbanwater-management-plan. Drought updates from GDPUD will be posted at gd-pud.org/2022-droughtinformation. For additional information contact GDPUD General Manager Adam Coyan at gm@gd-pud.org or call (530) 333-4356

Julianna was walking along Carson Road the afternoon of Feb. 8 when she was struck by Smith’s SUV. Smith, a Pollock Pines resident, drove off after the collision. It was Smith’s second DUI in four days. DA’s officials note the incident was investigated by the California
Highway Patrol, El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and Placerville Police Department and prosecuted by the county DA’s Office under a vertical prosecution grant funded from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
What Causes It?
Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

ictor Davis Hanson is a resident scholar at the Hoover Institute and lifelong Californian from the Central Valley. He recently spoke at a conference of Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association members. For the naïve who Jon Coupal want an optimistic presentation about how great California is, VDH is not your guy. He gives an accurate, if depressing, view of the current state of the state. In both his writings and speeches, he assesses just how far California has deteriorated — from homelessness, poverty, cost of living, crime, taxes, business climate, etc., ad nauseam. The decline of California has, as most know, led to an unprecedented exodus out of the state. So much so that for the first time in its history, California has lost representation in Congress. In addition to the 2 million people who have already left California, far more are seriously considering it. Facebook now has a group called “Life after California” with rapidly growing membership.

He warned us about his incompetence, reportedly saying, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f *** things up.” According to journalists Jonathan Allen and Arnie Parnes, Obama “worried that his former vice president would embarrass himself on the campaign trail and that the people around him would not be able to prevent a belly flop.” Other warning signs were reported in March 2019. Business Insider warned, “Joe Biden’s long history in public life could come back to haunt him if he decides to run for president.” This was followed by numerous media reports of incidents of plagiarism in Joe’s campaign speeches and his time in law school. This came to light during his 1988 presidential campaign, that he soon after suspended. Recently The Federalist revealed “139 lies” told by Biden during his 2020 presidential campaign and since being elected. The liberal Washington Post awarded Biden 11 “Pinocchios” over his claims during the coronavirus crisis. Some in the former Obama administration have been critical of Biden’s policies, such as Obama’s Economic Adviser Larry Summers, who in March 2021 described “Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan as the least responsible economic policy in 40 years.” With inflation at a 40-year high, skyrocketing energy prices, plus rise of threats from U.S. adversaries, most Americans find it nonsensical when Biden and the Progressive wing of his party push climate change and environmental justice as our nation’s top priority, while at the same time draining our emergency oil reserves and sending that oil to Europe. Tapping the reserves did not lower prices. The U.S. was energy independent in January 2020 with a 4% surplus in terms of oil product. Today, we have more than a 4% deficit. In November, Biden begged OPEC to produce more oil but they declined his calls. Saudi Arabia and the UEA did accept calls from Putin and Zelensky. Here is where the insanity comes into play — at the same time Biden put sanctions on
P
Russia, Biden’s team had Russia acting as our negotiator for the deal with Iran. And if they reach a deal, Putin/Russia will make billions of dollars for the nuclear work. The insanity did not stop there. In March Biden removed an Iranian-sponsored terrorist group known for attacking oil facilities from the Terrorist Organization List. Days later, the Houthi militia group blew up multiple Arabian oil facilities. So as the Biden war against cleaner U.S. oil and gas goes on, Joe not only wants to buy the dirtiest oil on the planet from Socialist Venezuela and our adversary, Iran, in April he lifted the EPA’s nationwide ban on E-15 (ethanol), which creates an increase of ozone pollution in the summer. And we haven’t even talked about the border and baby formula “crises.” TERRY GHERARDI Cameron Park
Guns and shooting in the forest EDITOR: am German, an immigrant and holder of an American passport. I have lived in California for 40 years. My observation as a European — I stay currently in Mexico because, frankly, I feel safer there from guns. Americans are in love with guns. America is obsessed with guns. Americans love shooting at anything. In the area in the Sierra foothills where I lived, every morning I woke up to the rapid fire of guns from gun nuts practicing their glorious art across the lake. At night I would hear them sometimes much closer by the lake where people camp, which is illegal. When I called the police they were evasive, denied any illegality, likely for the simple reason that many of them are part of that gun culture too. When I drove on the beautiful Mormon Emigrant Trail towards Kirkwood or Silver Lake for a hike, I passed many road signs, each single one shot up like sieve. When I stopped by the road to walk my dog in any of the small side roads into the forest, I see cartridges, junk food trash, beer cans everywhere.

This month in World War II was a big one
J
une was a decisive month for the battle in the Pacific during World War II. June 4-7, 1942, was the Battle of Midway. Cryptographers having broken the Japanese code and the U.S. Navy knew the Japanese were going to attack Midway Michael Island, 1,300 miles north of Oahu. American dive-bombers found and sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers and one heavy cruiser. That resulted in the destruction of 228 Japanese aircraft, which were being refueled and reloaded with bombs. The Japanese lost 3,000 men, including pilots and trained aircraft mechanics. The U.S. lost the Yorktown aircraft carrier. It had been evacuated of its men and was being towed when it eventually sank. Also lost was a U.S. destroyer. Later, June 19-20, 1944, in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the U.S. sank three Japanese carriers and destroyed 600 Japanese aircraft in what became known as the “Marianas
Turkey Shoot.” The Battle of Okinawa, which began April 1, concluded on June 21, 1945. The Marines still maintain an airbase on Okinawa to this day. World War II In Europe saw the Allies enter Rome on June 5, 1944. The next day, Raffety June 6, 1944, was the massive D-Day invasion of Normandy. By June 27 the Allies had liberated Cherbourg, France, a port on the northern coast of France. By nightfall June 6, about 175,000 Allied troops and 50,000 vehicles were ashore with nearly a million more men on the way that summer. It was the largest amphibious assault ever. *** A couple of notes on previous columns: Recycled pipes are purple, not blue, and Richard Buchanan received the Navy Cross. I mistakenly called it the Silver Star. *** In 2020 New York City lost 837,400 residents. In 2021 the percentages

were 63.1% left compared to 36.9% moved in. Judicial Watch has sued the New York City Election Board for failure to purge its voter rolls of inactive voters, such as thousands who have moved to Florida and changed driver’s licenses and license plates. Manhattan, with 1.7 million voters removed two voters as ineligible. Brooklyn, with 1.87 million voters removed no voters. Ditto for Queens with 1.3 million voters. Same for Staten Island with 344,000 voters. The Bronx, with 867,000 voters removed one ineligible voter. Complicating this is the addition to the local ballot of 800,000 noncitizens. The non-citizens can’t vote in federal elections. There is actually a question whether they can vote at all. Leaving the names of ineligible voters on the rolls is an invitation to fraud. Judicial Watch got LA County in California to clean up its voter rolls. Prior to that it had a million more voters than eligible-age adults in Los Angeles. El Dorado County is very diligent about purging inactive and ineligible
voters. It follows death notices from the Health Department, changes in address from DMV, returned jury notices or failure to respond to a jury notice. It sends out postcard notices. If a person skips a whole lot of elections one can be considered inactive. If you sell your house and the next resident gets one of the postcard notices for you and returns it to Elections, you could be purged. When our Lions Club worked an election center June 4-7, we had one guy who was in the system but had failed to respond to a jury notice. We gave him a provisional ballot and the inspector had him fill out a voter registration card. Another instance was a couple who said they were still getting a mail ballot for the husband’s mother, who had lived with them but had died. They couldn’t get the registration deactivated. Well, it turned out the mother moved back to Arkansas and died there. Our inspector checked with Election HQ and they removed her name from the rolls. The husband and wife were reliable witnesses on that issue. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

penalties, including incarceration. The similarly Soros-backed district attorney of Los Angeles, George Gascón, wasn’t on the ballot, but it appears he is in deep trouble as he tries to deflect a recall of his own. Also, L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, previously a Republican and now registered in the Democratic party, is headed to a runoff against progressive Democrat Karen Bass, currently in Congress and previously an Assembly leader. As in San Francisco, crime and homelessness are top issues. Throughout California, even within Democraton-Democrat races, the more moderate candidates seemed to be outperforming their more progressive counterparts, although many races remain too close to call. Whether California’s election results represent a meaningful shift away from radical progressivism or merely a blip in the relentless leftward movement in California is the subject of a national debate. Even the New York Times wrote that the recall of Boudin was “a stark warning to the Democratic Party.” It is way too early to predict a significant return to sanity in California and November’s election results will be more telling. But for now, even a slight movement toward responsible politics is a
welcome change. As the Chinese proverb reminds us: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

It was tiresome, sickening. There were areas, especially created for hikers with dogs and parking, where the gunshots rang so close it felt unsafe and dangerous. My very first encounter with American gun violence: I was in my early 20s, just got out of my service in the Navy. I was in a pub well known for American Jazz and Black music in Munich, Germany. I sat with my young girlfriend at a table when we witnessed one American GI shoot another, point blank in the chest, right next to us. Calling the newspaper in Munich to report that we witnessed the crime, I was asked to make an official statement to the German courts. Asking another American GI musician friend for his advice, he recommended no action because my own life would not be safe. That was around 1975. HELMUT SCHILLINGER Pollock Pines

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are things that happened years ago that you still cringe to think of, and this is a lucky day for letting go. You’re not defined by the past. You’re entitled to making as many iterations of yourself as you please. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Animals are never on their phones -- one of the many things you appreciate about them. Your connection to creatures will bring joy, grounding and the sense of living totally in the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Often the best way to say things is not the first one that pops to mind. A friendly, diplomatic approach takes practice, and you’ll get plenty in the weeks to come. Today’s power question: What if we did it this way instead? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your solo strength is remarkable, but sociability has definite advantages. For instance, exercising with friends gives you an endorphin boost, and the accountability factor makes it easier to establish the habit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People who are tired have cranky opinions and complaints and are not fun to be around. You don’t want to be that person, so you believe what your body tells you and make rest and relaxation a priority. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An exclusive group intrigues you. Are you familiar enough with its culture to join? Find out more. As you gain a measure of expertise, doors swing open. As usual, you’ll remain modest and focused on others all the way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some degree of worry is to be expected and will serve you well, helping you anticipate and avoid future problems. You’ll take stress in stride, handle it with grace and attract good fortune. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll welcome contradictions. Without contrast we couldn’t see or understand anything at all. Comprehension of light relies on the outlines of darkness. Detail is shading. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While the success of others may not pose a threat to your own, you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t occasionally find it annoying. You’ll wisely avoid the futility of competing when it’s not a competition. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll turn down your inner heat to keep the emotional weather around you mild. It works. You’ll stop the wind. It’s easy to go faster than the wind when there is no wind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Every behavior has a payoff. To change a behavior, understand its payoff. Figuring out your own motives will require objectivity, honesty and compassionate nonjudgment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Thinking back on your journey, those times of uncertainty and awkwardness were an essential part of the deal. It takes feeling lost to appreciate the relief of being found, even (and especially) in regard to finding yourself.
Ponderosa High School student Paloma Daubert has been playing soccer for more than 10 years. She started with the American River Futbol Club before moving to the San Juan Soccer Club, where she joined the Player Development Program — a decision that has resulted in the 16-year-old, who also played for PHS this past season, being chosen as one of 18 girls who will represent California and compete in the Gothia Cup, considered the World Cup for youth soccer. The tournament will be held in Sweden, July 17-23. Before she heads across the Atlantic, Paloma will spend summertime training for the big event with girls from all over the state. “It is definitely something to look forward to,” she shared. “It’s next level going to Europe since soccer is big in Europe.” Each year, around 1,700 teams from 80 nations take part in the Gothia Cup and they play 4,500 matches on 110 pitches, according to the competition’s official website. In addition to being a Pondo soccer star — awarded the Foothill Valley League MVP for the 2021-22 season — Paloma is an honor student. “Our family is so proud of Paloma,” dad Patrick Daubert told the

To see an opportunity like this for her is truly wonderful.” San Juan coach Katie Blough called Paloma “a very special player.” Blough has been coaching her for more than two years. “The trip to Sweden this summer is a huge honor for her, as there were many top players from all over Northern California who were competing for a spot on that roster,” Blough said. What sets Paloma apart and makes her so successful, according to Blough, is the young player’s extreme versatility. “She can play any position on the field and is also the kid who will step up to help out any team in her club who is shorthanded.” Blough said the entire San Juan Soccer Club will cheer Paloma on when she hits the field. “For a player of her caliber to always be willing to step up and put her club first is very admirable,” she said. “We are beyond proud of Paloma and are excited to see what her future holds. I know I can speak on behalf of our entire coaching staff at San Juan when I say we all feel confident that Paloma has a very bright future ahead in soccer and in all other parts of her life. She is hardworking and humble and we know she will continue to do great things.”

Additionally, the canal has a potential diversion point where Jenkinson Lake can take on additional water through the Hazel Creek Tunnel. Folsom Lake was at 88% of capacity as of June 16 and Jenkinson Lake was at 81% of capacity, according to SMUD and EID data. Two of EID’s satellite water services may face higher restrictions as the summer progresses. Those two are Outingdale and
Strawberry. Outingdale is served by a rebuilt diversion dam on the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River. The potential $2 million of the water sale proceeds will be non-rate revenue that will come back to the EID Board of Directors for a decision on how to use the proceeds.

shock. “Materially we’re not making a difference in water our customers are not using,” said Director Alan Day. Director Lori Anzini said, “Water must be shared.” General Manager Jim Abercrombie noted that Placer County Water Agency is also selling surplus water. “If we don’t sell it, it will just go down the river,” he said. Director George Osborne said he had just attended a forum in Pollock Pines, where he planned to speak for 10 minutes and wound up fielding questions for 45 minutes. He also noted his constituents living near Jenkinson Lake didn’t want to sell any water. The state Water Resources Control Board in May required districts to be in Stage 1 water conservation. “It’s publicly difficult to tell people to conserve water and sell water. It’s a conundrum,” Osborne said. Osborne was the sole no vote about giving a preliminary approval to sell the 2,250 acre-feet of water.

Free American Century tickets for the military American Century Championship Tahoe STATELINE, Nev. — Active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members, military retirees and veterans can receive complimentary tickets, Wednesday or Thursday, July 6 or 7 during the 33rd annual American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Nev. The tournament will honor active and retired service people during practice rounds with one complimentary ticket plus one guest for either day of choice. A limited supply of tickets is available online only with all qualifying individuals urged to register immediately at bit.ly/ AmCentury. A ticket voucher and a Department of Defense issued ID or photo ID is required when redeeming passes at the tournament. Handicap parking is based on availability and is located at the rear parking lot of the Hard Rock Casino Lake Tahoe for a fee. The tournament will also be welcoming a United States Army war hero as a celebrity participant to the competition. Captain Adam Napier of Louisville, Miss., will join the field by virtue of his victory in the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s Warrior Open presented by AT&T this past Veteran’s Day Nov. 11, 2021. A decorated veteran who did tours of duty in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Napier has served as an infantry officer as a member of a military transition team, a company commander and a battalion operations officer. During his deployments, Napier survived two hits by an improvised explosive device. The first occurred on Christmas Day, 2006, while conducting a dismounted patrol near Taji, Iraq. The explosion killed his U.S. civilian interpreter and injured Napier and four other soldiers in his
platoon. Napier suffered a traumatic brain injury, including secondary shrapnel wounds to his hands, face and shoulder. Throughout his military career and beyond retirement in 2016, Napier has used the game of golf as mental and emotional therapy. In addition to this true American hero, the 33rd annual tournament July 6-10 will feature one of the top fields in its history with superstars and entertainment personalities including Justin Timberlake, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Charles Barkley, Annika Sorenstam and newcomers Colin Jost of Saturday Night Live and WWE Superstar The Miz, with additional major names to be announced soon. The public can expect five days of celebrity sightings, golf and spectacular scenery at Edgewood Tahoe. As the South Shore’s largest special event, the golf tournament’s officials, sponsors and celebrities are anticipating record crowds following two years of COVID-19-related attendance limitations. General admission tickets for the public are available online and only in advance. Tickets are $30 each daily for the practice round Wednesday and the Celebrity-Am Thursday, and $40 for each round of the 54-hole tournament Friday, Saturday and Sunday. An adult purchasing a ticket can bring in one child, age 10 and under, free. The tournament offers a purse of $600,000, with $125,000 to the winner. The 54-hole competition will test the golf skills of more than 80 stars from sports and entertainment and has donated more than $6 million to charity. It will be televised live from Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, nationally Friday, 7:30-9:30 p.m. ET on GOLF Channel; Saturday and Sunday, 2:30-6 p.m. ET on NBC.

analyst Emma Owens said it will be hard to determine what impacts inflation will have to each county department, including those with contracts for services and supplies. “You make an estimate on a budget on what those costs will be next year. But if those figures go up, we can have an appropriations issue when we look at the budget midyear,” Owens said. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl acknowledged inflation forecasters predict inflation will grow to 10% in the near future. He suggested putting consumer price index inflators in service and supply contracts to help offset unexpected cost increases. “It is a natural correction,” Hidahl said. “In the past couple of years we’ve been able to impose those, which is legal, to try to make sure we don’t fall way behind then recognize we got a big change and have to start providing additional funding because (the contract) hasn’t been adjusted for inflation.” Owens told the board due to a change in CalPERs risk mitigation policy, the county’s discount rate went down .2%. “That doesn’t seem like a lot but it actually is when you take that over our 20-year projection of our unfunded accrued liabilities,” she said. Regarding facility needs, highcost projects — the new Placerville
juvenile hall, the South Lake Tahoe El Dorado Center, a new Shakori Drive storage facility in South Lake Tahoe and renovation of county facilities on Spring Street in Placerville will cost about $95.5 million. These projects have an overall funding gap of $47.1 million, according to county staff. “This is a large budget challenge. We will need to find the funding for that gap at some point,” Owens said. The Spring Street renovation makes up more than half of that revenue gap at a cost estimate of $25 million. County staff said the county is better prepared for a coming recession compared to 2008, when the county had to cut 333 employee positions due to a dip in county property tax roll values, which is a record of all assessable property discovered and valued in the county. Staff showed that the county hired more county staff when property tax revenues were going up from 1998 to 2008, before the latter year’s recession. “We have stabilized over these last 10 years, which tells me we are about where we should be as an organization in size relative to our revenues,” said deputy CAO Sue Hennike. “At the same time the property tax has rebounded and continued to grow.” All recommended changes were board approved with no changes.

When a basketball is held above the ground, it has a lot of potential energy and no kinetic energy. As it falls, it starts losing its potential energy and gets kinetic energy.
If you answered “b” you are right! When a ball is dropped to the ground, it comes back up almost to the point it was dropped from, but not quite.
When the ball hits the ground, it has lots of kinetic energy. The friction against the ground slows the ball down, but it also slightly heats the ball. This is thermal energy. The ball bounces back up but to a lower height than where it started. The original potential energy was transformed into thermal energy and kinetic energy. And that’s just the way the ball bounces.
The energy of motion. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, and the faster it is moving, the more kinetic energy.
An object high above the ground has potential energy because of the work it took to get it there and the work it will do when it falls.
Thermal energy is the name for energy that comes from the temperature of an object.
Imagine dropping a basketball from the top of these famous structures. If the ball bounces 80% of the way back up toward the top, how many feet/meters high would the ball travel for each? (Multiply each structure’s height by .8 to discover the answers. The first one is done for you.)

To improve your basketball skills and get some great exercise, work on these drills with some friends or family members.
Shoot 10 times from three different places—first the baseline, next from the elbow of the free-throw line and the following 10 from inside the lane. Repeat on the opposite side.
Shoot two free throws while one player rebounds and the other player sprints around the half court. Then the shooter takes the rebounds, the player shooting rebounds takes the sprints and the sprinter shoots two free throws.
One player shoots from a threepoint distance and his partner lets the ball bounce twice and then shoots from that spot.
Place markers at different points on the court and set a number for how many attempts it should take before scoring from that spot. Start from the marker and continue shooting from wherever the ball lands until the shot is made. Keep track of attempts. The player with the lowest score wins.

PROSPECTING PREGNANCY COUNSELING SERVICES pulls through the pandemic with expanded services Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
“No matter what their choices are, we’re here for them.” — PCS Executive Director Dee Bell
P
regnancy Counseling Services, established in Placerville in 1993, recently moved to a new location on Cedar Ravine with more space, limited diagnostic ultrasounds, a medical staff and a new executive director. Dee Bell moved to El Dorado County in 2019 to retire. Instead she took over at Pregnancy Counseling Services as its new leader. She had worked at a sister facility, Valley Pregnancy Center, in the East Bay prior to retiring and came to the area wanting to pursue a quiet life. “I came up here to retire and get some animals,” said Bell. “I contacted PCS to find out if they needed any help with volunteers.” Bell quickly learned that previous executive director, TaNelle Forgy, had a planned move out of state. “The door opened and I kind of walked through it.”
Expanding services In June 2020 Bell was announced as the new executive director. Her experience with a similar organization involved more medical services. The board of directors had interest in expanding its services in El Dorado County to include medical diagnostics so Bell was a great fit. She offered to move PCS in that direction. “I said, yeah. I’ll walk us through our license and we’ll get there,” she recalled The organization relocated in August 2021 from Main Street Placerville to a facility on Cedar Ravine better equipped to provide diagnostic services as well as the other services PCS offers. The medical diagnostic services required a medical staff, which includes a medical director and

What retirement? Pregnancy Counseling Services Executive Director Dee Bell took on a new role when she moved to El Dorado County, leading the organization dedicated to educating and providing services for those who are pregnant and need assistance and information. registered nurses who perform the diagnostic ultrasounds that identifies gestational age and cardiac activity and help ascertain if a fetus is viable. “One of the things that we do is talk to them about what their intentions are,” said Bell. “Do they want to parent? Are they looking for an adoption plan? Or do they want to have an abortion?” “We are a faith-based organization, so we do hope
that they pick one of the (first) two,” she added. The ethos of PCS is that everyone has options. The key, she said, is that those seeking out their services make an educated choice. To that end PCS offers counseling for potential parents, those considering adoption and individuals seeking to end a pregnancy. “No matter what their choices are, we’re here for them,” Bell assured.
Education is the cornerstone of what PCS does, according to Bell. Another service offered is a course called Parenting 101. The course provides information and facts about pregnancy and birth, co-parenting, relationships, pornography, drug abuse and myriad of other topics. For each course a potential parent completes they receive what Bell calls Baby Bucks, which can be redeemed for
basics such as cloths, toys and other provisions for raising a child. PCS is a privately funded nonprofit and all its services are free and confidential. The organization receives no federal or state funding. For more information or to schedule an appointment visit pregnancycounselingservices. org. PCS also operated a help hotline at (800) 712-HELP (4357).

How to vacation like a celebrity in the Lake Tahoe area Special to the Tahoe Daily Tribune
S
OUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — South Lake Tahoe has been the backdrop for an array of blockbuster movies, sitcoms and reality TV series that showcase Tahoe’s famous turquoise water, snowcapped mountains and towering pines. The newest addition to the list is the recently released “Top Gun 2: Maverick” adding to Hollywood classics like “The Godfather Part II,” “City of Angels” and “The Bodyguard” as well as “Smokin’ Aces.” In recent years, TV shows include “Keeping up with the Kardashians” series finale, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 11, ABC’s “Modern Family” season 9, “The Bachelor” season 22, Nat Geo’s “Breaking Bobby Bones” Season 1, “The Hills: New Beginnings” Season 2, HBO Max’s “12 Dates of Christmas” and Gwyneth Paltrow’s “The Goop Lab” season 1 on Netflix. “We live in a magnificent place that translates well to the big screen and we look forward to sharing it with the world,” said Carol Chaplin, president and CEO of the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority. “News of the celebrity stays has inspired visitors to spend time here living vicariously like a star.” Living like a star begins with palatial accommodations. The Sherman Estate is a sprawling 15-acre property providing stunning lake views, hot tub, indoor pool, movie theater, game room, fireplace, expansive kitchen, multiple outdoor lounge spaces, and wet bar with 17 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms that can host up to 40 guests.
Celebrity cribs It’s no wonder that casts of Real Housewives and Kardashians stayed there as well as filming locations the rose ceremony of the ABC’s “The Bachelor.” The property is in high demand and now requires a minimum stay of 30 nights with rates starting at $9,000 per night. In addition, Bliss Experiences/Lake Tahoe Yoga offered private yoga sessions for casts staying there. ABC’s “The Bachelor” season 22 with Arie Luyendyk Jr. featured his accommodations at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe, and the women were nearby in Stateline at a Buckingham Luxury Vacation Rentals. In season 10, Dr. Andy Baldwin, a navy lieutenant, used the Black Bear Lodge (at the time Black Bear Inn) on Ski Run Boulevard for a romantic date. Bally’s Lake Tahoe, Edgewood Tahoe, Hard Rock Hotel, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel and The Landing Resort & Spa have housed numerous cast/crews during shoots. As the official host hotels for the American Century Championship during the annual celebrity golf tournament, Harrah’s and Harveys have welcomed hundreds of sports and entertainment stars. The possibilities are endless to create a memorable, romantic getaway like casts/crews did in Lake Tahoe.
Where to play and dine Aerial Adrenaline: Catch a glimpse of the snowcapped peaks with scenes from “Top Gun 2: Maverick” via helicopter tours, which take flight year-round from South Lake Tahoe Airport.

Another iconic date included Arie and his suitor with a horseback ride through Camp Richardson Corral to Fallen Leaf Lake. Spoiler alert there’s not a hot tub along the trail but many accommodations do offer hot tubs for guests. Dinner at Hard Rock’s Park Prime followed by a concert inside the hotel was another special evening. Casey Webb, Travel Channel series, “Man v.

rystal clear water, endless blue skies and majestic mountains are some of the ways in which to describe the beauty of Lake Tahoe. And the best way to see the 360 degree views is to be on the lake. There are many ways to get on the lake including renting boats, paddle boards or kayaks. Another way is take advantage of the commercial boats at Tahoe and let everyone do the work for you while you take in the sights. Locals will tell you that wooden boats are a classic piece of Lake Tahoe’s history. The Golden Rose is one of those beautiful boats of yesteryear. Originally named “In the Mood,” it was built in 1953 as a Chris Craft Double FlyBridge Cruiser. When a blizzard struck the Pacific Northwest in 1996, the craft was pummeled when snow collapsed the roofs of Puget Sound Marinas. “In the Mood” sank,

way to Vikingsholm Castle. Part of the allure of this cruise is that there is wine tasting aboard, along with imported and domestic cheese platters from On Board. Guests will sample eight wines from various wine regions in Northern California. If you have fond memories of the Tahoe Queen, then the M.S. Dixie II Paddlewheeler is a must on your to-do list. The M.S. Dixie II Paddlewheeler is the largest cruising vessel in South Lake Tahoe. Maggie Garcia-Nook, district manager of Zephyr Cove Resort & Marina, gave a brief history of the M.S. Dixie II Paddlewheeler, “The M.S. Dixie II was constructed in Wisconsin, transported in pieces across the country by truck and assembled on the beach at Zephyr Cove. It was built specifically for Lake Tahoe and launched in the spring of 1994, but its lineage goes back to the original M.S. Dixie, which
was brought to the lake in 1949. From 1972 to 1993, the Dixie made daily trips across the lake. The M.S. Dixie II is one of Lake Tahoe’s three paddlewheelers. The wheel in the back spans the width of the boat and churns its way through the water, pushing the boat forward.” Holding 500 passengers, the M.S. Dixie II has two separate cruises to choose from. Adults pay $99/person and children pay $55/person. The cruise departs from Zephyr Cove Marina and you can either choose the two hour M.S. Dixie II Emerald Bay Sightseeing Cruise, which offers photo opportunities to Emerald Bay. Or you may be interested in the Captain’s Dinner Dance Cruise, in which guests get to enjoy a four course meal, and afterward, dance the night away with music featuring hits from all eras by Safari. If you really want to see the sights of Lake Tahoe in style, then you
want to consider booking passage on the Safari Rose, the largest and most luxurious yacht on the lake, measuring 80 feet long and 20 feet wide. The yacht was built in 1959, and boasts six bathrooms, a dining room, a heated salon, a full bar, a sun deck and a cozy fireplace for those cold nights. Having cruised the world, from the eastern seaboard, to Canada and the Caribbean, the Safari Rose has even graced the waters of the Panama Canal, all the way to Puget Sound and Alaska. Now being used as a commercial tour boat, the Safari Rose offers three different tours. The Emerald Bay Day Cruise offers a 2 hour cruise through Emerald Bay for views of Vikingsholm Castles, Eagle Falls and the Tea House atop Fannette Island. Here, along with the magnificent views, you can enjoy a full cocktail bar and food. The South Shore Sightseeing Cruise

is an hour and a half, and heads to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, where the scenery includes pristine beaches, eye dropping million dollar lakefront mansions. The cruise also goes past Cave Rock, a Washoe Indian sacred site. The Emerald Bay Sunset Cruise makes sure you have a chance to take in one of Lake Tahoe’s breathtaking sunsets over the mountains. The tour is two hours and first cruises through Emerald Bay and its usual sites before heading back out into open water.
