County government getting back to normal Chris Daley Mountain Democrat correspondent El Dorado County government will “open” once again for business Tuesday June 22. After more than a year supervisors will convene their first public, in-person board meeting beginning at 9 a.m. that day. The Mountain Democrat asked each supervisor, Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton and Clerk of the Board Kim Dawson to comment on some of the challenges they and their staffs have faced over the past year. Although District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo and District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas only began their official terms of office in January of this year, both have had some negative and some positive experiences on the job. “It will be really good to get back to normal,” Turnboo said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I’ve been positive and diligent reaching out to
constituents. I’m a hands-on guy and I really enjoy helping people.” He said he looks forward to meeting with people face to face and he expects a good public turnout at Tuesday’s meeting. Turnboo said he has met with Congressman Tom McClintock a couple times, including once at his District 2 office. “I think it’s the first time Tom has been to a supervisor’s office,” he added proudly. They are working together on forest management issues, revitalizing a robust logging industry and exploring the possibility of opening a co-generation plant in the county. Thomas wrote, “One of the more significant impacts has been the lack of ability to connect. People haven’t been in the office and we haven’t gathered with staff around a conference table to rumble with issues. Our (complete) board has never been together in a board meeting.” n

A group dedicated to preserving the El Dorado Hills sign on the south side of Highway 50 is asking for the public’s help.
Community effort may bring facelift for 60-year-old EDH sign Sel Richard Staff writer The beloved El Dorado Hills monument sign gracing the southern hillside along Highway 50 has garnered the attention of some intrepid souls who are now asking for community support.
Spearheaded by resident Wade Klinetobe, the EDH Save Our Sign Committee recently received approval from the Rolling Hills Community Services District Board of Directors to begin fundraising efforts toward a full renovation. The structure sits on land owned by that CSD. It is a welcome step toward the goals of eight volunteers who, earlier this year, sanded and repainted the monument letters and cleaned the surrounding area with personally donated materials. “The scope of most major repairs would either involve surrounding the existing sign with a rebar cage, encasing it in shotcrete/concrete and then either reapplying more stone veneer or stamping the shotcrete to have a similar stone
appearance,” explained volunteer John Davey. “These ended up being six-figure projects.” Other options considered include the deconstruction and subsequent rebuilding of the stone wall or the filling of interior void space and re-grouting the exterior stone veneer. Not only are these possibilities less expensive, but the sign would largely retain the same appearance. Davey indicated that surveyed community members expressed a preference for the sign to “look the same — no changes.” Local firm California Masonry Concepts, based in El Dorado Hills, has generously agreed to take on the project and is providing materials and labor at cost. The committee has now begun a campaign to raise $10,000. “This will cover the repair
costs and allow for a contingency budget in the event of additional costs,” said Davey, adding that this first phase will only bring the sign back to its original appearance, albeit better than its original condition. “The sign has been in place for almost 60 years so our hope is that these repairs should allow the sign to exist unchanged for another half century.” The committee hopes to start renovations this summer, contingent on fundraising results. Future phases will focus on vandalism resistant security measures. For more information or to make a donation visit edhsign.org or follow edhsign on Facebook and Instagram. Visits to the sign are prohibited without a signed waiver from the Rolling Hills CSD.
Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer El Dorado County Surveyor Phil Mosbacher died unexpectedly June 10. He was the first of his 15 siblings to be born in Placerville. His parents Howard and Lucille Mosbacher moved the family from Los Angeles to the foothills in 1959, packing up nine children and heading for a new home, sight unseen. Phil grew up with the wilderness at hand and loved the outdoors so much that later in life he graduated from California State University, Humboldt, with a degree in forestry. In his younger years he was known to be curious and fearless. And though the fearless spirit never abated, it was accompanied by careful thought and consideration in later years. Sister Eileen Cleland, two years his junior, recalled that Phil and his younger brothers were always to be found in the woodshed building “some kind of unsafe contraption.” “He was a genuine, beautiful soul,” she said. “If there was anyone who was a special person, it was Phil.” A graduate of El Dorado High School, Phil was a skilled high school athlete, playing both soccer and football. In 1977 he earned his place on the allleague football team. He also spent a large part of his youth in the 4-H program raising pigs. Sue Mosbacher, Phil’s wife of 19 years, reminisced about their first meeting on a church singles bike ride. “He would zip up and go off-trail and grab elderberries for us to snack on,” she said. “He basically was a big kid in a grown man’s body, just full of energy.” They became an “old married couple,” she said, explaining they knew early on they were going to be together. He became an immediate father for Theresa, Sue’s daughter, and she and Phil’s n

Fires banned on Tahoe forest land Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Due to dry conditions, enhanced fire restrictions on forest service land began this week and will last through the fall at Lake Tahoe. The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit on Tuesday said that wood and charcoal fires and other fire-related activities are prohibited on its lands in the Tahoe Basin, including developed campgrounds. “Illegal campfires cause over 90% of the wildfires at Lake Tahoe and increased fire danger due to severe drought conditions and warm weather is a big concern this summer,” states a press release. “Enhanced fire restrictions will help reduce the possibility of human-caused fires.” The following acts are prohibited within the LTBMU: • Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, including charcoal briquettes and wood, on National Forest System lands. • Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. • Operating an internal combustion engine off paved, gravel or dirt National Forest System roads and trails, except within the Sand Pit Off-Highway Vehicle Area and boats on a water surface. • Welding or operating an acetylene torch with open flames.

While the disconnection has impacted constituent services, “I think our staff has done an amazing job of working around those kinds of limitations,” she said. Thomas described one bit of “silver lining” resulting from the isolation and disruption. “I can’t tell you how much more efficient we are with our time.” Able to attend her 15 regional board and commission meetings via Zoom has significantly reduced the time and expense of travel to far-flung parts of the region and state. “It has saved taxpayer dollars and I have no doubt that as we emerge from these onerous restrictions, we’ll be able ‘to keep the best and leave the rest’ using Zoom when it makes sense and making the most of in-person meetings to connect with each other at a deeper level," she explained. "Let’s not ever take that for granted again.” Describing herself and others as “Zoom warriors,” Thomas decried being “insulated in our
personal bubbles and fueled by siloed rhetoric … The (broader) disconnection of this past year has destroyed dialog, reason and compromise, which are critical to working through community issues.” That said, Thomas added, “I am proud that in El Dorado County we were able to find the sweet spot … between ensuring the public good (while) … protecting our individual liberties, freedoms and opportunities.” She said she is “very much looking forward to Tuesday and future meetings in-person.” As currently scheduled, the public comment section of Tuesday’s meeting will begin at 3 p.m. following a memorial for county Surveyor Phil Mosbacher who passed away June 10. Public Information Officer Carla Hass further noted that after Tuesday, public comment will revert back to a 1 p.m. start. Board Clerk Dawson wrote in an email, “We are ready to open to the public. (Our office) did not have any significant impacts (this
year) and I do not foresee any (as we get back to normal).” District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl, who is also chair of the board, told the Mountain Democrat in an email Thursday, “For many staff working from home, poor internet service, kids at home with only remote learning or home schooling, combined with ever-changing work demands has taken a toll. For the BOS, COVID workplace constraints imposed by the state (mask wearing and vaccine distribution shortages) and seemingly endless strings of Zoom meetings have been challenging to keep up with. “The only positive impacts have been derived from the federal and state funding (i.e. project roomkey),” he said. “I look forward to the lifting of all mask wearing requirements, all of our local schools being back to normal when they re-open in the fall, our surviving small businesses prospering again and all BOS interaction with the public getting back to normal.”

EID reviews consumption ■ Directors to consider
drought declaration June 28 Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent By dividing the El Dorado Irrigation District into three climate zones, water consumption is identified for each zone and approximate populations are also sorted out, according to an Urban Water Management Plan presented June 14 to the district’s board of directors. The plan is updated and submitted at five-year intervals. The hottest location is El Dorado Hills, which is also the most populous. El Dorado Hills had 16,683 singlefamily connections with EID in 2020. Along with seven other classes of connections, total connections were 23,103. Total population of El Dorado Hills residents in the El Dorado Irrigation District was 75,349 in 2020. Each residence in El Dorado Hills uses 0.5 acre-foot annually. Those getting recycled water for landscaping only use 0.16 acre-foot annually. New residences in El Dorado Hills are even more efficient, consuming 0.44 acrefoot per year. Total water consumption was 11,078 acre-feet. The western area includes LotusColoma, Cameron Park and the Crystal Boulevard and Logtown area along Highway 49. Residents in this area consume 0.48 acre-foot annually per single-family customer. New EID customers consume 0.41 acre-foot annually. There are 6,628 service connections in the area. All seven customer classes total 7,911 connections. The population of this area of EID in 2020 was 25,503 and total water consumption in 2020 was 5,388 acre-feet. The eastern area, from Placerville to Pollock Pines, had 8,944 single-family connections that each used 0.29 acrefoot annually. All seven classes totaled 9,846 connections and used 5,246 acre-feet of water. New customers consume 0.25 acre-foot annually. Total district water consumption in 2019 was 26,283 acre-feet. EID has 81,494 acre-feet of water available, which includes a separate supply for Outingdale, which draws water from the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River.
In 2035 EID will add 7,500 acre-feet of Fazio water to its portfolio, bringing total supplies to 88,994. However, the average year planned availability of water in 2035 will be 78,594. In a single dry year that will drop to 67,429. If dry years persist for five years in a row, total supplies will shrink to 55,863. In 2035 total system demand for potable water, including system losses, is forecast to be 36,680. Water conservation requirements from a state law passed in 2015 require 241 gallons per person per day, which includes landscape irrigation or small farms. EID exceeded that goal, using 208 gallons per person per day. El Dorado Hills has 2.95 persons per household; ditto for the western region, while the eastern region has 2.58 persons per household. Total population in the eastern region of EID in 2020 was 28,205. Dry-year forecasts also involved the EID Drought Action Plan. In a single dry year EID could call for up to 15% of water conservation, though it will not likely do that this year. But Folsom Lake water use could get its own water conservation call as well as Outingdale. Currently EID receives permission from the State Water Resources Control Board to provide 1 cubic foot per second from Jenkinson Lake in Sly Park to the North Fork of the Cosumnes River and from there on to the Middle Fork, supplying Outingdale. A drought declaration will be considered at the June 28 meeting of the EID board. Also scheduled for that same date will be adoption of the Urban Water Management Plan. Stages of drought could call for 30% savings, then 50% and in stage 4, greater than 50%. Stage 1 would involve irrigating early in the morning or later in the evening and not refilling swimming pools. New pools already built will have to be filled “or they’ll pop out,” said Director Alan Day. He said replastering a pool will have to be put off. Director George Osborne asked that staff notify pool construction firms. “Last time (2012-16) people let mature trees die. They provide shade. It doesn’t save that much water to let mature trees die,” Day said. The board approved the revised drought action plan unanimously.

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.

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.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). No one likes to work with substandard tools, and to feel cornered into doing so under pressurized circumstances is even worse. Yet, this is exactly the recipe for today’s magic. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To practice peace is to feel a kinship with the people next to you even when they do not believe as you do. This requires getting to common ground, which takes creative thinking, one of your many talents. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s nice when everyone gets along, but nice circumstances seldom bring out the best in people. So when the energy is harmonious, enjoy it. And when it’s not, you’ll seize the chance to sharpen yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today’s work doesn’t have to be in your wheelhouse to be worthy of you. You can find fulfillment doing something very boring as long as you know how it’s helping. To mingle as you do with the spirit of generosity is to be lifted. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The very same ideology that once gave you a much-needed sense of structure and a helpful viewfinder for the world will one day seem outdated, limiting and perhaps even untrue. Ideologies age out; mystery is ageless. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). So much is possible for those who are willing to look stupid. Included among the spoils for the social and professional risk-takers is the possibility for friendship, love, profit and advancement.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may as well make yourself comfortable, because the space between wanting and getting could be quite long. Occupy yourself in some way to lessen the tension of anticipation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are endeavors you can steer and endeavors that will steer you. You’ll be led by things like ingredients, tools and materials that seem to dictate to you how they want to be used. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The theoretical physicist wants to know: Do we exist in time, or does time exist in us? You would pose the same question about love today, as you feel you are swimming in it even as it flows from you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be gathering intelligence, which is the first step on any large project and the step that tells you whether an endeavor is worth taking on in the first place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The weak will bring down the strong in the manner of babies and puppies who melt hearts with their cuteness, a defense that comes straight from heaven, and usually with a ticking clock. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re making mistakes, it’s because you’re making decisions. Give yourself credit for being in the flow, for it’s not for the faint of heart. And don’t worry; the fumbles are minor, and they come with the territory.

State auditor finds lots of illegal activity
I
t’s no secret that those who complain about taxes — and those who don’t — tend to focus on how much money is taken from our wallets and pocketbooks. In California, government takes a lot with highestin-the-nation tax rates Jon Coupal in most categories. But equally insulting is the poor level of service we get for our tax dollars. Regrettably, some behavior by government employees transcends “normal” government inefficiency and encroaches into actual illegality. California State Auditor Elaine Howle, pursuant to the California Whistleblower Protection Act, conducts an annual review of improper governmental activity. The latest report, released last month, reflects just a small percentage of cases brought to her office for investigation. The results are depressing to say the least. Here are some of the notable examples. The first involves overpayments by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to employees. The taxpayers should have been able to recover that money, but it’s not going to happen. As much as $1.5 million in overpayments of salary advances was forfeited by the agency because it failed to provide notice to the employees within a three-year time limit. According to the state auditor, “Inefficiency and incompetency in Caltrans’ division of human resources contributed significantly to its failure to notify recipients and collect on the outstanding salary advances.” Another problem involves public employees in California running side businesses out of their public office. The annual audit reports that an administrator in California’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration broke the law when he advertised his experience with the agency on the website of his private tax preparation and consultation business and when the administrator prepared private tax returns for clients who had CDTFA seller’s permits. The icing on the cake, according to the auditor, was that he was also “dishonest with CDTFA investigators when interviewed about his improper activities.” The third example strongly reeks of cronyism. An employee of the Department of State Hospitals lied on his job application, which fooled the agency into believing that the employee met the minimum qualifications for the position. More troubling, however, was that the hiring manager fudged the process to give the employee an unfair advantage. Taxpayers should be glad that at least someone in state government is trying to uncover and stop waste of public funds and resources. Public employees who become aware of illegal or inappropriate activity are protected under the n

National popular vote
EDITOR: see Mr. Scott asks if I’m comfortable with an ideology. Before we get to important things like a meritocracy, with Mr. Scott throwing labels around let’s look at the hero of the left — Joe Biden. We have corruption with the MBNA scandal, his brother getting all that government money in a contract to build houses in Iraq, something he had no experience in, his sister pocketing $2 million in campaign funds for her so-called consulting and his son with those famous China, Ukraine and Russia lucrative gifts. And then we have Biden, who didn’t want his children going to school in a “racial jungle” (his words). Not to mention his crime bill that put many minorities in prison ... and then the flowery eulogy at the funeral of Robert Byrd, a former grand kleagle of the KKK. Trump didn’t hold a person’s race or orientation for or against them. He wanted competence. Dr. Ben Carson was named secretary of Housing and Urban Development not because or in spite of being Black, but because his background make him a great candidate for the job. Unlike Biden, who put in Xavier Becerra as secretary of Health and Human services and filled a diversity spot even though Becerra has no background in health. Trump named Richard Grenell ambassador to Germany. Not because he was gay or in spite of it but because he was best for the job. For that same reason, Grenell was later named interim director of U.S. National Intelligence. Trump was into merit. He didn’t care one way or the other about race, orientation or anything else, just how good you could to the job. And if you didn’t do the job, he’d get someone else. Unlike the left, I want to see more minorities get the education necessary to earn good jobs and achieve. But the left’s opposition to school choice leaves many minorities trapped in failed, gang infested-schools that trap them in generational poverty and make them dependent on aid — just the way the left, like a drug-pusher, wants them.

EDITOR: am sharing the following information because not many people seem to be aware of it. On Aug. 8, 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law AB 459, joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which seeks to replace the current Electoral College with rules and would guarantee the election of the winner of the national popular vote. This California law was never put on a ballot. Under the legislation, California would award all 55 Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote. This will only happen if enough states join the NPVIC to represent a total of 270 electoral votes, the minimum needed to elect a president. States that join the NPVIC will continue to award their electoral votes based on the current system until there are enough states to represent this controlling majority of the Electoral College. NPVIC is based on Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution that gives each state legislature the right to decide how to appoint its own electors. The Electoral College protects small and rural states whose voters could be ignored if the country moves to a national popular vote, in which candidates target states with large populations and urban areas. All jurisdictions that have joined the NPVIC are “Blue States,” wanting to circumvent the Electoral College. NPVIC abandons the federalist structure of the Electoral College because the popular vote would determine the outcome rather than the votes of individual states. The NPVIC discounts the Electoral College, bypassing the intention of the Founding Fathers original Constitution and the framers of the 12th Amendment, which reformed the Electoral College in 1804. The Constitution clearly specifies that electoral votes will be cast by the states, as states, rather than by the states as a collective entity. “We the People” want a republic and will not accept a socialistic/communistic government agenda.

Two different hitchhiking stories are recounted “I’m packing up my bags, going to leave this old town right away Hitch hike, Hitch hike, Hitch hike.” — Marvin Gaye, 1962
E
arly this month David Zelinsky delivered the sermon at the 10:30 Michael a.m. service at the historical Church of Our Saviour on Coloma Street. For those who know Dave, there was not one mention of getting a veteran out of jail and into rehab. Rather, it was an interesting set of experiences from his youth and later as a young man interspersed by some biblical references. One of the personal stories that caught my attention was flying to Boise, Idaho, when he was 16 to go hiking to Elk Lake in the Sawtooth Mountains. From Boise he and a group hitchhiked from Boise to the trailhead. Due to swollen creeks, flooding and rain they had to cut their trip short. A group decided to hitchhike across the United States. When 16-year-old David called his

He and one friend hitchhiked through Idaho to the Columbia River on the Oregon side (I’m assuming that 55 years ago there was no freeway then along the Columbia River). They got to Astoria and then down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco, sleeping by the side of the road and living on one meal a day. One day a guy let out of the Redwood City jail shared his jail sandwich with them. My hitchhiking story is somewhat crazier. After graduating from high school in Fair Oaks I took a bus back to Great Falls, Mont., where I rented an apartment for a brief time. My friend from Great Falls — Dick Baker — had an electric guitar and amplifier and could play lead guitar. With little

or no practice together, he enlisted me to play rhythm guitar at a DeMolay dance. I can’t remember if I was playing an electric or acoustic guitar. All I know is I did not bring my guitar along on the trip to Montana. Our plan was to hitchhike to Kansas City, get some oil drums, strap them together under a wood platform and float down the Mississippi. The hitchhiking plan started off with a problem. My friend insisted on bringing his amplifier and electric guitar along. Amazingly we got picked up. I eventually convinced him to ship it back home. Then, while sitting in the back of a pickup he realized he was getting a sunburned head with his buzz cut so I loaned him my Elmer McCoy-shaped Montana Safe Hunter hat. That hat has never fit me since. I think he wore it in the rain and it shrank. I have since used it as a dust protector on my stack of 45-speed records. In Billings I met up with an old girlfriend, whose flame for me had rather dimmed, it turned out. She
was out on some ranch, owned by a woman name Pearl, about whom I wrote a poem, something about “Pearl could make the bar stools whirl.” That was an interlude of a few days where we earned our meals by bucking hay bales into a truck and washing dishes. We slept outside. On our way to Kansas City we camped by the side of the road and sometimes camped in campgrounds. I woke up to find a skunk investigating my friend while staying at one campground. He was deep in his sleeping bag and totally unaware. Fortunately, the skunk moved on. Part of our strategy at restaurants was to order coffee and fill it with lots of cream and sugar to gain some additional nourishment. We got to Kansas City on the west side of the river and camped in a park. We met a guy in that park who managed to bum my last cigarette off me and showed me how to make cigarettes out of corn silk. Yuk.

An “improper governmental activity” is defined under the act as “any action by a state agency or by a state employee performing official duties that breaks a state or federal law, is economically wasteful, involves gross misconduct, incompetence, or inefficiency; or does not otherwise comply with the State Administrative Manual, the State Contracting Manual, an executive order of the Governor, or a California Rule of Court.” The state auditor assures potential and actual

son Daniel became fast friends and loving siblings. “He was just a great dad,” she said. Phil started with the Boy Scouts through his devotion to his son Daniel. After Daniel aged out of the program, Phil continued to serve with the Scouts in many capacities. He was a
consummate Scout leader who lived by Scout Law throughout his life. Phil would help scouts learn, even if by their mistakes. His main concern was their health and safety but if they, for instance, forgot to bring a plate on a trip they would use a pancake for a plate and learn that

lesson for the future. One of his former scouts later in life lived to tell the tale of being lost in the woods and leading his party to safety, saying he could only have done it because of “Uncle Phil’s” training. Mike Chin, a friend and colleague in Boy Scouts of America, said Phil affected countless youth in the county. “He’s been a really good mentor, coach and a guy you can talk to,” he said. Phil went on to receive several honors for his service in Scouts, including the Silver Beaver Award and the Order of the Arrow. Phil competed in the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow races, placing multiple times and winning outright at least three times. He told brother Frank Mosbacher the winnings from these races, in addition to the logging competitions he competed in, were his college scholarship fund. Frank said Phil would

go from El Dorado County to Amador County to participate in logging contests where he was awarded the title “Bull of the Woods.” Continuing his love for the outdoors, Phil became a professional surveyor and later went to work for the county, becoming an associate surveyor. Soon his colleagues asked him to run for county Surveyor and Phil held that position since 2019. “He ran unopposed,” said Frank. “And he loved his job.” “Phil was a tireless public servant with deep roots in the community going back generations. (He) always approached whatever he did with a positive attitude,” said District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl in a statement. “He will be deeply missed by all the people fortunate enough to call him a coworker and friend.” After Phil was famously attacked by a buck while jogging on a trail in Cameron Park his younger brother Dave was the first person he called as the two shared a love for hunting and the outdoors. “I got the phone call,” Dave recalled. “He was giddy like a little kid and he goes, ‘You’ll never guess what just happened.’” An injured buck had apparently perceived Phil as a threat and
charged him. Phil fought him off, wrestling him in the mud. In an interview with the Mountain Democrat in 2008 Phil admitted he was glad he was the one who was attacked since a smaller person or child might not have been as lucky as he was fending off the buck. After sharing in the humor of the situation Dave called the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to dispatch the deer. Dave and Phil trained for the wheelbarrow races together and even went head-to-head one year after they had both won in their respective divisions. Dave attributes his work ethic to trying to be better than, or even as good as his older brother Phil and said he relishes the good times (and bad) they shared throughout the years. “He always had a plan; whether it was a good one or not, he had a plan,” he said. Dave said one of Phil’s favorite sayings was, “It only hurts for a minute.” Phil lived that motto throughout his life, never letting setbacks discourage him. “I always admired the fact that he was never mad; if he got upset it was only for a minute,” said Dave. “He always saw the good in everything, always had a calmness about him, a self-assurance,” he
continued. Phil got into adventure racing in the early 2000s and lifelong friend Paul Goyette joined in on the fun. A harrowing training weekend in preparation for an upcoming adventure race found them summiting Mount Shasta around 7 p.m., out of food. They made it back down the mountain to retrieve their bikes at the trailhead in the middle of the night, in the rain. They discovered exactly $3 in their packs and by 2:30 a.m. found a gas station where they bought prepackaged muffins, just for the calorie content to get them to their final destination. Sitting in the rain, eating their muffins, Goyette recalled Phil’s reaction. “This is a classic Phil,” said Goyette. “He looks over and said, ‘It just doesn’t get any better than this, does it?’” They both laughed and went on their way with a story to tell. “Phil was always a real positive, low drama, even-keel kind of guy,” he said. Family and friends say Phil described himself as a Labrador retriever because he never got mad and if he was upset it would only last a moment then he would go right back to, “Throw me the ball!”

lakeside Motorcycle rental company offers sunset tours at Tahoe
Miranda Jacobson Tahoe Daily Tribune
S
OUTH LAKE TAHOE — Lake Tahoe sunsets can be memorable. A South Tahoe motorcycle rental company is taking advantage of the glorious views by offering a new sunset tour to kick off the summer at Lake Tahoe. Rolling Freedom Motorcycles is offering an e-bike sunset tour from Kahle Trail to Beach Bums Bar and Grill, as well as a motorcycle sunset tour up from South Lake Tahoe to Incline Village. The shop is also offering extended sunset hours for its Polaris Slingshot. “Sunsets in Tahoe are absolutely gorgeous,” co-owner Sina Beaghley said. “We went and did that (a sunset ride) one evening and I thought, ‘Gosh, this would be a really neat thing for customers to be able to do and it would extend the riding hours.’”
Photos provided by Matthew Beaghley
Rolling Freedom Motorcycles’ e-bikes sunset tour is available for reservations on the website, as well as Airbnb Experiences. A Slingshot sunset tour is also available. After officially opening their business in May, Beaghley and her husband, Matthew, began to try to find fun ways to bring their favorite parts of riding to their business. On top of a great ride, patrons can look forward to an exclusive photo package.
“We actually have videography that’ll be included in that and photography that we can give as raw and edited footage to customers,” Beaghley said. “The ride is $125 a person. It includes the e-bike and equipment. Of course with e-bikes the helmets and all
that good stuff. And it includes one of our staff riding with them, doing the photography and videography. And then the ride back.” At Beach Bums, guests can purchase refreshments and enjoy a relaxing night on the lake. “It doesn’t include
refreshments at Beach Bums, that’s on them, but we will take them to Beach Bums for the refreshments and for them to be able to hangout,” Beaghley said. While the e-bike and Slingshot tours are already available to book for sunset rides, the motorcycle ride is still in the process of being added to the shop’s website. Anyone who wants to rent a bike should reserve ahead of time on their website, roltahoe.com, or call the shop at (775) 580-7054. “We have reservations for e-bikes ahead of time, and the motorcycle is the same thing,” Beaghley said. “We have to make sure we have people to do the videography.” Another way to book a unique experience with Rolling Freedom Motorcycles is through Airbnb Experiences. To ride a motorcycle with Rolling Freedom, patrons must have a motorcycle “M” endorsement on their license.

The Hands4Hope Youth Board is a group of determined Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference leaders from seven local high schools in El Dorado and Sacramento counties. When planning their spring fundraiser, challenged with limited time and opportunities due to the pandemic, the Hands4Hope Youth Board chose to organize Miles4Smiles, a virtual walk, run or hike event. The overall goal of this event was to bring awareness to domestic violence and raise funds to help those affected by it. The event raised $1,877 with Miles4Smiles. Proceeds benefited The Center for Violence-free Relationships
Second Generation Program, as well as the Hands4Hope Education Program. Planning an event like Miles4Smiles required a lot of planning, starting with the beneficiary. Board members created criteria for what was important to them and several speakers from different organizations made presentations. The board ultimately voted to support The Center for Violence-free Relationships, as well as the club’s own education program. The youth then had to determine how they could host an event with the ever-changing COVID-19 restrictions. After many brainstorming sessions n

Jenn Galinato sits on the Los Rios Board of Trustees, representing fellow students’ interests.
MINIMUM PURCHASE OF 4
Student trustee ready to serve on Los Rios board News release Sacramento City College student Jenn Galinato has been elected by her Los Rios Community College District peers to serve as the student trustee for the district’s board. Galinato was sworn in at the board’s June 9 meeting and her term of office will run to May 2022. Galinato was elected during online student elections April 20-21. She is a triple major in business administration and management, communications and marketing and pre-law at Sacramento City College. She is a passionate advocate for all of the students in the Los Rios Community College District. Prior to her new role, Galinato served in multiple positions within Sacramento City College’s Student Senate in addition to serving students on the statewide level through Region II in the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. In her work throughout these roles, she advocated for increasing ethnic studies resources and continuing diversity, equity and inclusion work. During her time as this year’s student trustee, Galinato said she hopes to emphasize the importance of student advocacy, especially with the slow return to normalcy following the pandemic. She is a strong advocate on a number of important student issues: basic needs and financial aid, mental health resources and sustainability amongst all four campuses for students. With students truly being at the forefront of change, she hopes
that she can continue empowering and encouraging students to take the lead to inspire the next generation of student leaders. Following her time with Los Rios upon graduating, Galinato plans on transferring to a four-year university to continue her studies. She then hopes to attend Stanford University for law school, where she wishes to continue serving the people of her community and beyond, either in the courtroom or in public service. To be eligible to run for student trustee, a student must be enrolled in at least five units at any Los Rios college. Student trustee elections are held during the spring semester every year. The student trustee represents the interests of the entire community and provides perspective to ensure that future students will be wellserved. In addition to serving on the board of trustees, the student trustee chairs the Los Rios Student Advisory Committee, which provides a forum for communication and exchange of ideas, information and concerns among students. The SAC is comprised of student leaders from each of the colleges’ student senates (typically the Student Senate president) and chaired by the student trustee. The SAC meets each month, before each regularly scheduled board of trustees meeting, to address issues that affect students. It provides a forum for communication/exchange of ideas, information, and concerns among ■

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements
be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 20-20508-SP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE OF PUBlIC HEARING El Dorado County Air Quality Management District Proposed amendments to Rule 523-1 Federal Non-Attainment New Source Review NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the El Dorado County (EDC) Air Quality Management District (AQMD) has scheduled a public hearing on Tuesday 7/27/21, during the EDC Board of Supervisor’s Public meeting, at 9 AM or thereafter. Public participation instructions are listed below and on the EDC Board of Supervisor’s agendas. AQMD staff is recommending the AQMD Board of Directors adopt proposed amendments to Rule 523-1 Federal Non-Attainment New Source Review. The amendments will correct minor deficiencies and remove the interpollutant trading provisions in accordance with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on 1/29/21, in the Sierra Club, ET, AL. against the EPA, Case No. 15-1465. The Sacramento Federal Ozone Non-Attainment Area (SFONA) has been classified as non-attainment for the 2008 and 2015 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The 2015 federal 8-hour ozone NAAQS is 70 parts per billion (ppb). In 2017, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found the SFONA attained the 2006 federal 24-hr PM2.5 (fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 microns) NAAQS. However, EPA has not yet designated the region attainment for PM2.5. The 2006 federal 24-hr PM2.5 NAAQS is 35 microns per cubic meter (ug/m3). The western populated portion of EDC (approximately Pollock Pines westward to the County line) lies within the SFONA. EPA requires the SFONA air districts (including EDC AQMD) to implement measures to control emissions of ozone precursors volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and the PM2.5 precursors NOx, sulfur oxides (SOx), VOC, ammonia and PM2.5 from major stationary sources. A major source is a stationary source which emits, or has the potential to emit, ≥ 25 tons per year (tpy) of VOC or NOx in areas classified as “severe” ozone nonattainment, or ≥ 50 tpy of VOC/ROC or NOx in areas classified as “serious” ozone nonattainment, or ≥ 70 tpy of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 microns) in PM2.5 nonattainment areas. Currently, there are no major sources in EDC nor are any foreseen in the near future. These revisions to 523-1 will not add new nor remove any current requirements for any existing sources in EDC as there are no major sources. Any new major source that applies for a district permit after the revisions to 523-1 are adopted will be subject to the revised rule. Revised 523-1 will satisfy the federal requirement to have an approved Federal ozone and PM2.5 nonattainment NSR permitting program. Without these revisions, the Sacramento region may be subject to federal sanctions, including the loss of transportation funding. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that if adopted, that if adopted, Rule 523-1 will be submitted through the California Air Resources Board to the EPA as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP).

END OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID. 6/21, 6/28 9176 NOTICE OF PUBlIC HEARING RESOlUTION DEClARING A STAGE 1 WATER AlERT AND AUTHORIZING THE GENERAl MANAGER TO DEClARE A STAGE 4 WATER EMERGENCY FOR THE OUTINGDAlE WATER SYSTEM WHEN NECESSARY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the El Dorado Irrigation District (District) will hold a public hearing at its regular Board meeting on Monday, June 28, 2021 to receive public comment and protest regarding a proposed resolution declaring a Stage 1 Water Alert for all District customers, and authorizing the General Manager to declare a Stage 4 Water Emergency for the Outingdale water system when necessary. Although the District’s water supply portfolio for the contiguous water system remains adequate, water levels at Folsom Lake and Jenkinson Lake later this year are becoming an increasing concern and the District must guard against worsening conditions and the possibility of another dry year. In the Outingdale community, the flow in the Middle Fork Cosumnes River, which serves as the community’s sole water source, is projected to dry up in the very near future. EID will likely need to truck water to Outingdale from the main system for health and safety use, similar to what occurred in 2014 and 2015. The proposed resolution would declare a Stage 1 Water Alert for all District customers, and authorize the General Manager to declare a Stage 4 Water Emergency for Outingdale when determined necessary, and in accordance with the District’s Drought Action Plan. The public hearing to consider approval of the resolution will be held on Monday, June 28, 2021 at 9:00 am. The agenda for the June 28, 2021 Board meeting will be available on the District website at www.eid.org. on or before June 24, 2021.

EDH Rotary honors educators Noel Stack Managing Editor The Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills recently teamed up with Oak Ridge High School, Rescue Union School District and Buckeye Union School District to celebrate Educators of the Year. “Educators are my heroes,” said Aaron Palm, president of EDH Rotary and principal of ORHS. Palm gave the ORHS Educator of the Year award to Hugh Corkery, a teacher who “starts with care.” Corkery, a veteran, coaches the ORHS Speech & Debate Team in addition to his classroom duties. Palm commended Corkery for his ability to connect with his students.
Rescue Union School District Superintendent Cheryl Olson honored the district’s nursing staff — Morgan Butler, Janie Carlson and Rena Jones. “They have been working so hard,” Olson said. “We’re so fortunate to work for Rescue,” Carlson said. “Everyone pulled together.” Buckeye Union School District Superintendent David Roth also highlighted school nurses, giving the Educators of the Year awards to Tristan Kleinknight and Sandy Chavez. “They were great to work with,” Roth said, adding that the team kept a level head and took their time to educate parents through the COVID19 crisis.
