Committee to review county charter Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Supervisors appointed five members to the El Dorado County Charter Review Committee and gave direction on subjects of focus for the committee to consider June 15. Representing the five districts are Richard Ross, District 1; Cherie Raffety, District 2; Jim Mitrisin, District 3; Bill Carey, District 4; and Jeanne Harper, District 5. Mindy Jackson will act as Carey’s alternate and Rachel Michelin will act as Raffety’s alternate. While appointing these individuals, topics of interest were discussed for consideration by the committee: looking into adding a third term for supervisors, going from five to seven supervisors and staggering election cycles for elected county department heads and considering term limits for those department heads. Supervisors also considered looking into grand jury reports for topics, adding direction for Proposition 172 allocations and bringing Civil Service Commission rules into the charter. Board Chair Lori Parlin said the Charter Review Committee should consider the creation of seven supervisorial districts instead of five, an idea she heard consistently during the county’s redistricting n

County moves to new emergency alerts system News release The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office, which manages the county Office of Emergency Services, has announced a new system to push out alerts and warnings to residents. The new system provides a number of ways in which the county may contact the community in the event of an emergency such as evacuations due to wildfires, hazardous material spills or urgent law enforcement operations. The county Office of Emergency Services partnered with CalOES to bring the El Dorado County Emergency Alerts notification service to residents and businesses by app, telephone, cell phone, text message, email and social media when there is a threat to the health or safety of residents. Sign up at bit.ly/ PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

EDCAlerts. Residents who previously signed up for notifications through CodeRED (El Dorado County’s former alert system) do not need to sign up again to continue receiving notifications. The information from CodeRED will migrate over to the new system. Authorities do however encourage new registration as a better way to update notification options. Those signed up for both may receive notifications from El Dorado County Emergency Alerts and CodeRED during the transition period. To discontinue emergency alerts, log in at bit.ly/EDCAlerts, click “edit account settings” and select “remove account.” Residents are advised to save contact information for El Dorado County Emergency Alerts to avoid confusing it with a SPAM call or email. Telephone messaging will show a caller ID of (530) 621-7595, emails will come from edcgov@ getrave.com and text messages from a six-digit short code that may vary and cannot be saved. The county Office of Emergency Services encourages everyone who resides, works or controls property in El Dorado County to sign up. It is a free service and could provide early warning for emergency evacuations and other actions.

Jayla Somera of Southside Topnotch 4-H shows off her Reserve Supreme Champion Market Steer Saturday at the El Dorado County Junior Livestock Auction, part of the county fair. The 1,307-pound steer sold for $26,140.

Show ’em the money Thomas Frey Staff writer

ayla Somera stood in the ring in disbelief alongside her Reserve Supreme Champion Market Steer at the El Dorado County Junior Livestock Auction Saturday. Somera just graduated from El Dorado High School and she couldn’t believe her ears as the price for her steer, named Jimmy, skyrocketed all the way up to $17 per pound. The bid would set up Somera — who is in her ninth and final year with Southside Topnotch 4-H — with a possible payday of $22,219 for

the 1,307-pound animal. With the crowd cheering, the auctioneer asked the buyer — Western Sign Company — if the Diamond Springs-based business wanted to round up to $20 per pound. The capacity crowd went silent in anticipation before exploding in excitement as the buyer agreed. “I was crying in the ring because I’ve worked so hard,” Somera said of her $26,140 sale. “The results were awesome. Honestly it was just insane.” Somera was one of 207 entrants from local 4-H, Future Farmers of America and Grange programs who raised

steer, swine, goat, lamb, turkey, chicken or rabbits for the El Dorado County Fair and the Livestock Auction. Austin Ferry, 14, with Union Mine FFA and his 11-yearold brother Lucas of Pleasant Valley Grange each showed and auctioned a pig. Austin said each day they would wake up and feed their animals before going to school. In the afternoon they would finish off their homework before heading back to their animals where Austin would wash and feed his 263-pound Reserve n

With their eyes on the prize— in this case bags of candy — participants in the kids’ division of the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races show promise of becoming future champions in the El Dorado County Fair tradition.

Racers push to the limit Thomas Frey Staff writer

ompetitors from every age group grabbed a wheelbarrow, filled a bag of ore and took off through a challenging course in the 78th John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races produced by Placerville Kiwanis. Obstacles consisted of fallen trees and uneven logs before the final grueling stretch where racers must push their wheelbarrow up the hill climb, through a mud pit and over one final large log before crossing the finish line, hopefully with a qualifying weight in ore. Zachary Schnetz won the men’s race and said the

hill was the hardest part. “You’re just so tired by that point that it’s hard to want to keep going,” Schnetz said. “You also know you’re more than halfway through so you just look to the end and get that extra push. The men’s race was the final of eight races on the day and by the time Schnetz got to the 6-foot-deep mud pit called Deep Creek, it was extra slippery from all the competitors trudging through before him. Schnetz was the first one in the water and didn’t have to battle with anyone to get out — just his ore bag, which weighed more than 50 pounds. n

Dean was born in Bakersfield, Calif. He was the second of five children born to Paul and Evelyn Sneddon Madeira. He began working at age 9 delivering newspapers for the Bakersfield Californian and then for the Los Angeles Times at age 12. At age 15 he obtained a hardship family drivers license to be able to deliver the newspapers to the carriers, which was a better paying position. At age 17 he joined the U.S. Navy serving aboard the USS Salisbury Sound. After the service he held various salesman positions and donated time as a reserve for the Kern County Sheriff ’s Department. He married Ramona Brooks in 1949 and two daughters were born to this marriage, Karen in 1951 and Michele in 1952. He and Ramona divorced in 1961. Dean then married Sandra Pletcher, making their home in San Jose. There were three children born to this marriage; son Jeff in 1962, daughter Meritt in 1964 and daughter Kathy in 1969. In San Jose Dean was employed by the Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s Department fulfilling his dream of always wanting to be in law enforcement. He served in many divisions but patrol was always his favorite. He graduated from San Jose State with a BA in Criminal Justice Administration and also taught Administration of Justice classes, evening division, at San Jose City College. Dean led the formation of the Santa Clara County Peace Officer’s Association, which is still active. After serving 25 years he retired as Captain of the North County jail facility. Soon after retirement he helped form the Santa Clara County Department of Corrections. Upon his second retirement Dean and Sandy moved to Placerville in 1989 purchasing a home in the Pleasant Valley area where they lived for 31 years. He loved his home and with his many skills he added many beautifying additions. Many holidays and get-togethers with family were enjoyed here over the years. When they first arrived in Placerville he went to work part time for the El Dorado County Probation Department for two years doing pre-release recommendations, receiving letters of praise from two judges for his work. He then formed Madeira Group International doing pre-employment background investigations for 30 governmental agencies. He employed several investigators. After 10 years he sold the company to one of the investigators. Dean and Sandy traveled to Europe, the east coast and took several cruises. They were married for 61 years. Dean died with complications from Parkinson’s Disease on May 28 at home as he wished at 90. He was preceded in death by his brother Paul Madeira and his sisters Peggy Rocha and Jeanne Sandoval. His sister Grace Rockett is still living. He leaves behind his wife Sandy; son Jeff; daughter Karen and husband Mike Popplewell; daughter Michele and husband Carl Varney and their families of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; daughter Meritt and husband Steve McClure and granddaughters Katrina and Kelly McClure; daughter Kathy Madeira and grandson Derek Nuse; son-in-law Dave Nuse; sister-in-law Pat Wynn; brother-in-law Leonard Sandoval and many nieces and nephews. He loved us all and he will be missed. A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. Whenever Dean heard an emergency siren he would say “they’re playing my song.

Fire crews training up with control burns on Bacchi Ranch Cal Fire News release

Charter review

Dr. Little’s Dental News Firefighters from Pioneer Fire Protection District and the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit contained a nearly half-acre vegetation fire in the community of Mount Aukum Saturday.

AVOIDING AN ABSCESSED TOOTH A tooth abscess is a swollen pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection in the tooth’s root. An abscess can occur at the bottom of the root or in the gums to the side of the root. Bacteria enters the root through an untreated cavity, chip, or crack in the tooth, causing swelling and inflammation. An abscess requires treatment and won’t resolve on its own. A dentist will drain the abscess and treat the infection. A root canal or tooth extraction may also be required. The best way to avoid a tooth abscess is to prevent tooth decay through daily brushing and flossing, healthy eating habits that limit sugar and snacks, and regular cleanings by a dental professional.

One of our fundamental philosophies is teaching our patients the importance of taking charge of their dental health and doing what is necessary to control their own dental conditions, from prevention to maintenance. We work together as a team with our patients to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. From sound advice about healthy gums and periodontal care to routine well visits to major dental reconstructions, we’ve got your dental needs covered. P.S. If left undrained, the bacteria from a tooth abscess can spread to the head and neck and may even spread throughout the body as a life-threatening infection known as sepsis.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Live fire training leading up to peak fire season gives firefighters hands-on experience. The controlled burns also create a break in Coloma’s fire fuels. and the U.S. Forest Service to train together in a controlled fire in preparation of fire season. Cal Fire officials said that by working together in a training environment firefighters develop needed skills and form cooperative relationships to provide a more effective and efficient response to future fire emergencies. Cal Fire also conducted training burns June 15 and

June 21 on the Bacchi Ranch VMP. On June 15 firefighters had an opportunity to train with an aerial supervision module OV-10 aircraft. The ASM is used by Cal Fire as both an air tactical group supervisor and lead plane for air tankers. It emits smoke to indicate where an air tanker should drop retardant. The burns add nearly 300 acres to the fuel break within the Bacchi Ranch VMP,

reducing the chance of devastation from a catastrophic wildfire to nearby communities within the Georgetown Divide, according to Cal Fire officials. All Cal Fire controlled burns are evaluated the day of the burn utilizing a checklist that is based on weather and incident activity. If burning conditions become unfavorable for a safe, efficient burn, operations will be immediately stopped.

process, recognizing substantial increases in the West Slope population, especially in El Dorado Hills. “By the time the next census rolls around in 10 years, the numbers I’m anticipating will grow enough on the West Slope to allow for the Tahoe Basin to fit into one supervisorial district,” Parlin said. “El Dorado Hills is already bulging and doesn’t seem to fit into one district and would easily fill up at most two.” Parlin also recognized that Divide and south county communities would want to keep their respective districts. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel said the cost to implement seven districts and community input should be considered to further explore Parlin’s idea but agreed the Charter Review Committee should look into it. District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl said he did not see a need for that particular change yet, stating the county has a less than 1% growth rate and costs to expand the supervisor’s chambers and accompanying staff would be substantial, but he deferred to let the charter have the conversation. Overall supervisors agreed it was worth having the discussion. Hidahl suggested the committee focus on how the county utilizes Prop. 172 funds, which establishes a permanent statewide half-cent sales tax for support for local public safety functions, such as law enforcement and fire agencies in cities and counties. Hidahl noted those funds have historically gone to the county Sheriff ’s Office, public defender and the District Attorney’s Office and not fire agencies. He said the Charter Review Committee should consider utilizing those funds to assist county fire districts. “I think it’s time to reconsider what happened many years ago because other fire agencies in other counties did receive those Prop. 172 funds and in El Dorado County that did not happen, recognizing the situation with a lot of our fire agencies that are struggling to make ends meet,” Hidahl said. Parlin suggested bringing Prop. 172 conversations to the county ad hoc committee instead of the Charter Review Committee.

Other supervisors agreed Prop. 172 discussions can be better directed through board policy. “I think this is more of a budgetary conversation than a charter change,” Novasel said. “We control where our preferences are throughout the budgetary process and I think that is where it needs to stay.” District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas considered having the committee look into setting county supervisors’ term limits to three instead of two, emphasizing that the proposed rule would not extend to any current sitting supervisor. Supervisors’ terms are four years. A supervisor can serve two terms consecutively and may again run for office after a gap as little as one term. “This is such a complex job and El Dorado County is a complex organization and if you don’t have experience in local government coming into this job, it makes (the job) even harder,” Thomas said. Thomas noted department head elections are all on the same election cycles and contemplated if those elections should be staggered. “That could have strong ramifications for our county if everyone in those departments were brand new. That could be challenging,” Thomas said. Regarding the Civil Service Commission, which regulates the employment and working conditions of civil servants and promotes the values of public service, Thomas noted the charter calls for supervisors to nominate members for the Civil Service Commission. The appointments are then approved by supervisors. However, Thomas also noted the board follows a county ordinance where supervisors approve of a slate of nominees. She suggested that the ordinance practice be implemented into the charter. “There are unique qualifications to have an effective commission and I think it is better the way we are doing it now to have a slate of officers come forward rather than each of us make appointments,” Thomas said. The board voted unanimously to approve of the Charter Review Committee members and provided direction for the committee to consider each item of discussion except Prop. 172.

California Matters

Has California’s top-two primary system worked?

y happenstance, the recent “top two” primary election marked the 10th anniversary of the system that dramatically changed California’s political dynamics. Prior to 2012, California had a closed primary system in DAN WALTERS which registered voters of the two major parties separately chose their parties’ candidates to face each other in the general election. Critics said the system had a polarizing effect because candidates won their nominations by appealing to activist elements which tended to be very liberal in the Democratic Party and very conservative in the Republican Party. The rising numbers of independent voters, registered in neither party, were discouraged from participating in primary elections, which affected the outcomes of other issues, such as ballot measures. In a top-two system, labeled a “jungle primary” by its opponents, all candidates for an office are listed on the same ballot and the two top finishers, regardless of party, then duel in the November general election. It came about because in 2009 Democratic leaders of the state Senate desperately needed one more vote to pass a controversial budget and turned to moderate Republican California’s top-two Sen. Abel Maldonado to provide it. primary election However, Maldonado system marked its — with the support 10th anniversary last of then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger — week. Has it worked insisted that his vote as promised? hinged on placing the top-two primary before voters. Democrats eventually agreed and Proposition 14, creating the top-two system, appeared on the June 2010 primary ballot with Maldonado and Schwarzenegger contending that it would give moderates and pragmatists in both parties better chances of winning legislative and congressional seats. The leaders of every political party opposed the measure but voters passed it handily. Has it worked as promised? Mostly, yes. As Republicans became largely irrelevant in the Legislature, business groups such as the California Chamber of Commerce nurtured business-friendly Democrats, using the top-two system. Although Democrats have supermajorities in both legislative houses, the substantial blocs of moderates have blunted efforts by progressive groups to enact their left-leaning agendas — single-payer health care being the most obvious example. The system has its drawbacks, such as inviting mischievous tactics. For instance, operatives of one party sometimes clandestinely recruit multiple candidates in the other party to fragment the vote

Letters to the Editor Harm reduction EDITOR: would like to respond to Ms. Willyard’s letter in the May 20 Mountain Democrat regarding the homeless. It is clear she believes those living in homeless camps, especially those using drugs, as unworthy of any of our help or tax dollars. It seems that her solution to the problem is to do nothing. That is what this county has done for the last several years and the problem has only gotten worse. I must commend the supervisors who voted for the declaration of a homeless crisis in the county. This is a step forward to improving the situation by providing a place for the homeless to live and by providing services needed to find permanent housing. Success rates for treating people with mental illness and drug addiction are much higher for those who have shelter and a bit of stability in their lives than for those who stay homeless. Ms. Willyard complains about using tax dollars to provide drug paraphernalia and condoms. Providing drug users with syringes, etc., is a public health policy known as harm reduction and has been used successfully for many years. Sharing syringes and other paraphernalia spreads infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis C. Let’s compare the costs. A box of 100 syringes costs less than $50. The cost of a month’s worth of medication to treat HIV is $1,000 to $3,000. The cost of 12 weeks of treatment for hepatitis C is just under $40,000. In addition, there are the costs of lab tests and medical visits, etc. Why should we try to help the homeless, especially those in homeless camps? Firstly, the problems in those camps do not stay there, but eventually make their way into the greater community. The three biggest problems are crime, the spread of infectious diseases and the danger of fires. Secondly, the homeless are fellow human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. I am not naïve. I know this will not be a magic bullet. There will be those who will refuse help and will refuse to leave the camps. At some point, they will almost certainly be forcibly removed. Some drug users will die from their addiction. Some mentally ill will refuse medications. On the other hand, there will be many successes that will

make the efforts worth it and will reduce the risks homeless camps pose to the greater community. I would ask the Republican Party in El Dorado County to stop criticizing and complaining about the county’s attempts to tackle a very complex and difficult issue. Instead, the party should take a seat at the table and help the county come up with solutions. SCOTT TAYLOR Placerville

Positive action to help homeless EDITOR: commend the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors for taking action at the May 24 meeting to approve a pre-construction contract to move ahead with development of a much-needed navigation center and shelter on the Western Slope. Part of helping residents who are homeless get to jobs, reach health care and obtain housing cries out for a year-round navigation center and shelter where connections and preparations can be made. I’ve worked as a volunteer alongside El Dorado County faith-based organizations, local government agencies and nonprofit groups for the past 10 years to provide overnight winter shelter for our county’s homeless residents on the Western Slope. It has been quite evident that our county has needed a year-round navigation center and shelter for many, many years. The number of folks living with homelessness is steadily rising and more so after COVID-19. The fact that El Dorado County is one of the very few counties in California without a year-round navigation center and shelter further underscores the need to move rapidly forward. The action on May 24 by the BOS is smart public policy and is based on the research and recommendations contained in the recently completed Community Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in El Dorado County (edokcoc.org for further information). This navigation center and shelter will use state and federal funding that is specifically for these services. It will be managed and operated by the experienced Volunteers of America organization. Taxpayer dollars can be saved by proactively

and help two candidates of the same party finish 1-2 in the primary. It’s happened a couple of times. A variation of that trick, employed by Democrats in recent years, including this one, is encouraging voters of the opposing party to favor the most conservative Republican candidate, thereby making it easier for the Democrat to win. Gavin Newsom’s 2018 campaign for governor devoted a lot of attention to Republican candidate John Cox, helping him finish second in the top-two primary, because Newsom did not want to face Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles, in November. The top-two system inadvertently allowed Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot this year when six of them ran in state Senate District 4, which sprawls through 13 mostly rural counties southeast of Sacramento and has a GOP voter registration plurality. With so many running, they fragmented the GOP vote, thus allowing two Democrats, Tim Robertson and Marie Alvarado-Gil, to finish 1-2 and handing the seat to the other party. “This is the nightmare scenario… A lot of people thought that they would have a chance to win. So they jumped in, but they split the votes and that’s unfortunately what can happen,” Joseph Day,

Stanislaus County’s Republican chairman, told GV Wire. Notwithstanding those and other similar top-two outcomes, it remains a more democratic — with a small “d” — way of choosing candidates by forcing them to appeal to a wider array of voters. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

coordinating services — rather than overloading our hospitals and jails — and cleaning up homeless camps. Aside from preventing fire during our most dangerous season and providing respite for our homeless neighbors from the elements, we have the opportunity to do what almost every California county has already done — provide a sensible way for homeless people to restore their own lives.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like a video game player creating an avatar, you don’t have to play forever with the first character you came up with. You’re free to start over whenever you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you rise high enough above the situation, you’ll notice that even the most permanent-seeming losses and gains are relatively insignificant. Every change is temporary. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Social scientists note the human tendency to attribute special qualities to attractive people whether or not they actual possess said qualities. There’s too much on the line today to risk being bamboozled by a pretty face. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu suggested, “If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.” You’re certainly on the path as you develop a greater awareness of what’s happening below the surface of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A project without structure and standards can’t meet its own purpose. You’ll give a vague idea of some parameters to try. They won’t all stick, but you have to start somewhere. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t worry too much about normality. When you back up for the wider view, there’s a much broader range of “normal” than you would have thought. Step back again, and there is no “normal” at all. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel personally

invested in someone else’s battle. Perhaps there’s an echo of this conflict in your own life. You would welcome the service of justice in the matter. What would that look like? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe kindness alone can’t evaporate the evil in the world, but it may stop some of it from developing. What if compassion is prevention? It’s certainly worth a try. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is much to be done and you’ll processing life quickly. You’ll work and play with people who have different rhythms. You don’t have to match speeds to complement one another’s styles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Effective communication starts with setting up an environment people feel safe inside. Bonus if they also feel relaxed, comfortable and friendly. Inviting spaces do much of the work for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The experience at your fingertips is available to you and you alone. Others may have similar offerings, but none are entirely the same. Furthermore, no one else can do what you can do with this opportunity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes it seems more fun to explore the world with someone by your side. Today it feels like you might accomplish more on a solo journey toward what most interests you.

Racers

Josephine Rothman composes herself for the last leg of the 78th running of the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races after getting through Deep Creek in the lead in the women’s championship. By crossing the finish line first, Rothman won $1,000. Mountain Democrat photos by Thomas Frey

Eric Schnetz, left, powers through the course in front of a near capacity crowd in the teenage boys’ race. For the victory, Schnetz took home $100. Brian Veerkamp, middle, plunges into the muddy water at Deep Creek on his way to an old timers’ victory. Hannah Rothman, right, wheels through Rattlesnake Gulch on her way to the Mine Shaft and Deep Creek. Rothman won the teenage girls’ race and the two-person relay high school challenge with her brother Garrett. Zachary Schnetz, center, won the men’s championship as his brothers Levi, left, and Kyle rounded out the top three. Levi — a two-time champ — points to his name listed twice on the trophy.

Continued from A1

“You kind of sink in and the weight of your bag is so heavy at that point, it soaks up extra weight,” Schnetz said. “You can’t hardly move. What I do is just walk the bag out and then go back and grab the wheelbarrow because it takes so long if you’re trying to walk with both of them.” Schnetz was first across the line and when his brother Levi — a two-time champ himself — crossed the finish in second, they became the first brothers since Dave and Phil Mosbacher in 1986 to finish 1-2. When a third Schnetz brother Kyle took third, the Schnetzes became the first trio of brothers since the Studebaker Wheelbarrow Race’s inception in 1939 to finish top three. To make matters even sweeter, another Schnetz brother — James — finished fourth. “It means a lot,” Zachary said. “It was fun, especially to win it with my three brothers. It was a great time and I was really looking forward to it.” The four brothers combined to win $1,600 in the final race with Zachary, 22, receiving $1,000. That wasn’t the only fun the Schnetzes had. In the teenage boys’ race, Eric Schnetz, 17, took the first place prize of $100. “My legs feel like 50-pound weights and my lungs are just destroyed,” Eric said. Hannah Rothman, 16, won the teenage girls’ race when she came from behind and conquered Deep Creek en route to the win. “Near the halfway point it just started to burn. It gets hard to breathe (and) your mouth gets dry, but it was great,” Rothman said. Less than an hour later she was back in the winner’s circle with her brother Garrett after they won the twoperson relay high school challenge. Hannah raced the front half while Garrett, 16, grabbed a hold of the wheelbarrow filled with more than 50 pounds of ore in the middle of the track. Although they crossed the finish line in seventh, none of the teams ahead of them had enough ore in their bag. As they were waiting in line to have their ore weighted, Garrett said he thought, “There’s no way we (could) win because we were seventh.” But as teams kept getting disqualified, the siblings’ optimism grew. “We were just laughing. It was a little bit of shock,” Hannah said. While receiving their medals, older sister Josephine Rothman took to the starting mark in the women’s championship race with $1,000 on the line. In a very close race, Josephine — who took second in the 2018 teen race — powered through the course and efficiently got through Deep Creek while Ruth Thornton and Amber Goelz battled through the muddy water for second and third. Josephine said the key to victory was to stick with it and keep her head in the game. “Hard work pays off and God is good,” Josephine said. Violet Forma won the 10-12 youth girls’ race while Cody Thornton won the youth boys’ race. Brian Veerkamp has a record nine wins in the men’s race and began racing in the old timers’ race in 2019, which he won. This year Veerkamp won the senior race over past champs Donald Harden and Erik Peterson.

District and NorCal Bats proved challenging. “It has been an eyeopening experience,” Hannaman shared. “It got me seeing how real life works, how adults run things, working through actual issues like cost and how to get through problems.” Hannaman was able to secure a grant from the EDH Promise Foundation, covering the remaining cost through fundraising events. The bat boxes are 14 inches long, 27 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide with a textured landing strip at the bottom that allows bats to gain purchase. “It’s a little place for them to congregate and gather,” she said, explaining that up to 100 bats can fit into a single bat box. Upon hearing of the EDHCSD’s plans for Bass Lake Regional Park, Hannaman said she felt compelled to make an impact there. Her boxes are the park’s first official installation, erected a quarter mile from Bass Lake. The bats help control mosquitoes and other bugs.

Approximately 20 people attended and constructed 12 bat boxes and her curriculum has been made available for future classes. Hannaman taught the session in partnership with local resident and retired Ponderosa High School wood shop teacher Ed Perry, who was also her bat box making teacher at the American River Conservancy years ago. “He was a big part of my project,” she said of Perry, who helped her cut wood for the bat boxes in his garage wood shop. She also credits her mother, EDHCSD Director Heidi Hannaman, for coaching her through the project. “She taught me how to work with people and check my emails,” Savannah said. “I almost gave up on this but she helped me power through.” “Through the years I have watched her grow into a mature, hardworking young woman,” affirmed troop leader Barbara Gutierrez, going on to extol Savannah’s n

KEEP THE COOL AIR IN AND THE HEAT OUT!

ot a squeamish young lady, Oak Ridge High School junior Savannah Hannaman is an unabashed bat lover. “I personally think they’re cute,” she said with a grin. “They’re little fluffy, fuzzy things. I love when you go outside in the summertime and they’re all swooping around you.” Hannaman’s interest in bats sparked during a bat box making class she attended at the American River Conservancy while in seventh grade. “I did it with my friend and my dad and I had a blast,” she recounted. “It was kind of cool, actually building boxes and learning about the bats.” Already in the process of completing her Girl Scout Silver Award at that point, Hannaman was intrigued enough by the experience that she began to consider bat boxes as a possible Gold Award project. She has since built three bat boxes and designed an informative sign about bats, all of which were recently installed at Bass Lake Regional Park. Having started the project during her freshman year, Hannaman admitted that there were times she felt overwhelmed, especially with building and funding the sign. “Our original bid on it was $1,000 and then all the supply chain issues started happening and the bid would change every three days,” she said, revealing that the final cost topped out at more than $2,500. In addition, attaining multiple approvals from El Dorado Hills Community Services

phids, aphids and more aphids! How do they multiply? Fast, faster and fastest! Their colors can be in-yourface brilliant red, neon green or deceptively the exact color of the plant they are thriving on. They have piercing, sucking mouthparts taking in life-sustaining liquids from plants. In that process, they are secreting a sticky substance commonly called honeydew. High aphid populations can slow plant growth and cause leaves to yellow, curl or drop early. Some species of aphids distort stems or fruit or cause galls on roots, leaves or stems. The individual aphids of most species are one-sixteenth of an inch or less long. These soft bodied, pear-shaped insects have some unique defensive appendages called cornicles. These tube-like structures are located on the hind end of the aphid and secrete a defensive fluid. Most aphid species produce many generations a year and populations can increase rapidly, especially

Nancy Ottow UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County in ideal, moderate temperatures. Aphids can reproduce asexually. They can give live birth as well as produce eggs. Young aphids are called nymphs. They molt, shedding their skin about four times before becoming adults. When the weather is warm, many species of aphids can develop from newborn nymph to a reproducing adult in seven or eight days. To catch aphid infestations early, and prevent large-scale plant damage, check plants once or twice a week when plants are putting on new growth. Be sure to check the undersides of the leaves as well as the leaf top and stems. Due to their small size, it might be difficult to see aphids on your plants. A tell-

tale sign that aphids are present is seeing ants on your plants. Ants feed off the honeydew that aphids secrete. Ants also protect aphids from their natural enemies. Keep ants off plants to help the beneficial predators do their job of eating aphids. Hot weather will also reduce the number of aphids as many species of aphids are heat-intolerant and will be gone by midsummer. Of the several aphid predators, the most well-known are lady beetle adults and larvae, lacewing larvae, soldier beetles and syrphid fly larvae. Natural occurring predators work best, especially in home gardens and landscapes. For more information on using lady beetles (ladybugs) check out the University of California Integrated Pest Management website: 2.ipm.ucanr. edu/natural-enemies/ convergent-lady-beetle. Horticultural oils and soaps work by smothering aphids so apply these products thoroughly. When properly used, these materials often solve most aphid problems. n

Continued from B2

Don’t apply oils and soaps to droughtstressed plants or when it is very hot. Some plants are sensitive to these products. Oils and soaps don’t kill aphids hidden within curled leaves. It’s best to prune out these leaves. High levels of nitrogen fertilizer favor aphid reproduction, so never use more nitrogen fertilizer than necessary. Use a less-soluble form of nitrogen and apply it in small portions throughout the growing season. Slow-release fertilizers work well. Aphids build up on flowering plums Prunus spp., roses Rosa spp., tulip trees Liriodendron tulipifera, crape myrtles Lagerstroemia spp., apples Malus domestica and many vegetables. Expect aphids when you grow these plants; however, armed with a knowledge of how to deal with aphids, controlling them shouldn’t deter you from growing the above plants. Master Gardener classes are offered

monthly throughout the county. Find the class schedule at mgeldorado. ucanr.edu/Public_Education_ Classes/?calendar=yes&g=56698 and recorded classes on many gardening topics at mgeldorado.ucanr.edu/ Public_Education/Classes. The Sherwood Demonstration Garden is open 9 a.m. to noon Fridays and Saturdays through October. The garden does close in case of rain; check the website for details at ucanr. edu/sites/EDC_Master_Gardeners/ Demonstration_Garden. Have a gardening question? Master Gardeners are working hard to answer your questions. Leave a message on the office telephone at (530) 621-5512 or use the “Ask a Master Gardener” option on the website: mgeldorado. ucanr.edu.

dedication to her multiple endeavors, whether it be speech and debate, Science Olympiad or music. “Savannah never shies away from challenges. She is a very special young woman and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. I have never been more impressed by a young woman as I am with her.” As a longtime Girl Scout (since kindergarten), Hannaman said the best part of her scouting experience has been helping out the community with a group of people she knows and loves. She receives her official Gold Award this month. Looking toward the close of her junior year, Hannaman claims she wants to relax for the summer. But between working as a summer counselor at the American River Conservancy nature camp, playing clarinet in marching band, piano recitals, working at Lee’s Feed and college tours, downtime may be in short supply for the girl who just wants to read a book or play a few games of Valorant. Certainly she’ll carve out time to commune with her pet leopard gecko Yoda and an evening bat or two. “I love bats,” she declared. “I think they’re cool.”

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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. 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 (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site https:// mkconsultantsinc.com/trusteessales/, using the file number assigned to this case 21-5510. 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 To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website https://mkconsultantsinc. com/trustees-sales/, using the file number assigned to this case 21-5510 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221678. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221678 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CIRCUlATE RECAll PETITION To Honorable Judge Jamie Pesce: Persuant to Section 11020, California Elections Code, the undersigned registered qualified voters of the office IV County of El Dorado, in the state of California, hereby give notice that we are the proponents of a recall petition and that we seek your recall and removal from the office of Judge of the Superior Court, County of El Dorado, California, and to demand election of a successor in that office. The grounds for the recall are as follows: 1. Failure to protect children and families from domestic violence and disregard of scientific evidence California legislation recommended to the court to reduce children's exposure to adverse childhood experiences (Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 155 - Relative to childhood brain development). 2. Failure to take action upon litigants, state agencies and court officers who perjure, tamper, commit fraud and immoral, corrupt practices against El Dorado County families and children. 3. Failure to protect families and children with disabilities from discrimination and civil rights violations. 4. Failure to investigate and ensure court appointed officers are properly educated, trained and competent in their abilities to serve families and children who present with disabilities, domestic violence and systemic racial abuse. 5. Creating barriers to justice by utilizing tentative rulings in order to expeditiously process complex, sensitive family law cases. Biased tentative rulings have repeatedly become ex parte communication, where the judge has received inaccurate, incomplete information that could have been corrected if all parties to a case had been present. 6. Spouse with supervisory authority as District Attorney; which any reasonable person would conclude is a conflict of interest when upon seeking protection from the DA's office against judicial collusion and corruption. The printed names, signatures and residence addresses of the proponents are as follows
