El Dorado Hills sees 3 wildfires in 3 days Mountain Democrat staff Firefighters have sprung to action three times in the past three days to battle vegetation fires on the west end of El Dorado County, with the largest of the blazes scorching 35 acres Monday afternoon and posing a threat to homes in the Blackstone Parkway area of El Dorado Hills. Things heated up on Father’s Day when a fire sparked near Serrano Parkway, close to its intersection with El Dorado Hills Boulevard. El Dorado Hills Fire Department firefighters, with the help of other area fire agencies, responded to the Sunday blaze at approximately 3:37 p.m. when temperatures soared to 103 degrees. EDH Fire Deputy Chief Michael Lilienthal said the fire jumped Serrano Parkway before crews could get a Mountain Democrat photo by Thomas Frey handle on the flames, which burned a total of Firefighters patrol a 35-acre grass fire that sparked Monday in El Dorado Hills. 7.48 acres.
“Some wood fences and storage containers were damaged in the fire,” Lilienthal said. “Firefighters were able to protect all houses and structures in the area.” In Monday’s blaze, which was reported at about 3 p.m., crews mitigated a fast moving grass fire progressing toward residences off Blackstone and Valley View parkways. “Crews were able to mitigate the threat to structures and put a wet line around the fire within two hours of dispatch,” states a Cal Fire press release. The 35-acre fire was 95% contained as of Tuesday morning with full containment expected later in the day, according to Cal Fire officials. No one was injured and no structures were destroyed although damage to some wooden fencing was apparent. n

Appeal denied Trojan to Tokyo over plaque placement Eric Jaramishian Staff writer In a 5-0 unanimous decision, a committee of federally chartered veteran organizations voted to deny an appeal of the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance’s decision to place a plaque honoring Navy Capt. Paul Jacobs’ on the Honor Wall of the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville. A hearing was held virtually over Zoom Monday morning. First to speak was Ken Schoniger on behalf of Richard Buchanan, founder of the Veterans Monument in Placerville, who was not present for the virtual meeting. Buchanan contested the placard’s placement on the grounds that Jacobs’ wartime heroism does not meet the monument’s specific criteria for honorarium established by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors in 2007.
Jacobs, who died at his son’s Grizzly Flat home in December, has been credited with a humanitarian mission that rescued nearly 32,000 Vietnamese refugees in the Vietnam War. The criteria states: • Plaque honorees are defined as recipients of the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross or any person or unit who, while serving with the military, distinguishes himself in action by extraordinary heroism. • The action in which the plaque honoree is being honored must have taken place under one of three circumstances: while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States, engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict where the United States is not a belligerent party. • The act to be commended must have been performed in the presence of great danger or at great personal risk and must be performed in a manner that renders the individual highly conspicuous among others of equal grade, rate, experience or position of responsibility. “There has never been any lack of desire for recognition of Jacobs,” said Schoniger on behalf of Buchanan. “The only issue is there’s a set n

Bryce Mefford, above wearing his Cal Berkeley swim cap, swims his way into the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The Oak Ridge High School graduate is the first Trojan to earn a spot on Team USA. He reached the milestone Friday, coming in second behind Olympian Ryan Murphy in the 200meter backstroke final with a time of 1:54.79. “It was a great swim. I felt great doing it,” Mefford said in an interview after the race. Other local swimmers made a splash at the Omaha, Neb., olympic trials, including Colby Mefford, Patrick Sammon, Ben Dillard and Matt Klotz. Representing Oak Ridge High School at a 2017 swim meet, Bryce Mefford, right photo, gives his all during the race. The entire community will undoubtedly be cheering for this talented young man during the Tokyo Olympic Games, July 23 through Aug. 8.
Newtown bridge to be replaced Carla Hass El Dorado County Chief Administrative Office The El Dorado County officials last week announced a victory in the appeal of Newtown Preservation Society, et al. v. County of El Dorado,” preventing further delay of the county’s project to replace the existing Newtown Road Bridge over South Fork Weber Creek. In February 2020 the trial court had ruled in favor of the county and petitioners appealed that decision. In a 34-page decision the Third District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the county on all arguments and affirmed the trial court’s decision. “We are pleased that the Third District Court of Appeal ruled in our favor and affirmed the trial court’s denial of the petition for writ of mandate by a local resident and the Newtown Preservation Society, alleging that the county violated the California Environmental Quality Act in pursuit of this important public safety project,” said Deputy County Counsel Breann Moebius, who represented

the county in the trial and appellate courts. “After more than two years of legal wrangling that risked delaying the project we’re happy to get on with the business of the county to replace the 90-year-old Newtown Road Bridge to make it safer for the residents in the area and the general traveling public,” said Department of Transportation Deputy Director John Kahling. The central disputes on appeal involved petitioners’ claims that the trial court erred in upholding the mitigated negative declaration because, according to petitioners, there was substantial evidence of a fair argument of potentially significant impacts on resident safety and emergency evacuation and the County impermissibly deferred analysis and mitigation of those impacts. The appellate court rejected these arguments, finding that petitioners incorrectly framed the issues. As one of a handful of CEQA cases

Fiery crash in north county kills one Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A man lost his life Monday night when his vehicle hit a tree along Highway 49 in Cool and then caught fire, becoming fully engulfed in flames. The El Dorado County coroner has yet to identify the man but he was driving a 2010 Infiniti,
according to the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. The crash occurred at about 8:18 p.m. just south of Meadowview Acres Road on Highway 49. The Inifiniti’s driver was traveling southbound on Highway 49, reportedly at a high rate of speed, when he unsafely passed another vehicle while
approaching a curve. That’s when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree, according to CHP investigators. Weather at the time of the crash was noted as clear and dry. CHP investigators say it is not yet known if alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor in the fatal incident.

Two dirt bikers riding near the China Wall Staging Area in the Foresthill Off-Highway Vehicle trail system who were experiencing heat-related symptoms had to be extracted by helicopter Sunday, according to California Highway Patrol officials. Temperatures in the area that afternoon hovered just below 100 degrees. CHP Valley Division, along with other responding agencies, answered a call to the remote location of the bikers, just north of El Dorado County, where CHP helicopter H-20 was deployed to locate the victims. GPS was utilized to find the bikers and a CHP paramedic was lowered to the rider’s location where he quickly assessed the individuals and prepared them for airlift. Both bikers were lifted to the China Wall Staging Area where they received medical treatment from paramedics. The riders were able to reach emergency services using a satellite-enabled communication device, which also allowed them to communicate their location. Officer Jared Boothe of the CHP Valley Division, Air Operations said that heat-related problems are on the rise with recent high temperatures in the region. “We always encourage people to take enough water with them and have some kind of communication device,” said Booth, referring to preparing for a hike or any outdoor activity. “A satellite communication device would be preferable.” He explained that regular cell phones won’t always have service in the backcountry but a satellite communication device would work. The riders were treated and released. They will have to return to the scene and retrieve the bikes left behind.
CLARIFICATION Pertaining to the article “Navy captain’s plaque held up at Veterans Monument,” published in the June 18 edition of the Mountain Democrat, more information has come to light on the El Dorado County Veterans Monument’s Criteria for Military Honorarium and Civilian Recognition Ordinance. According to the ordinance, heroes are defined as recipients of the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross or any person or unit who, while serving with the military, distinguishes himself in action by extraordinary heroism. The action in which the plaque honoree is being honored must have taken place under one of three circumstances: while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States, engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict where the United States is not a belligerent party. Lastly, the act to be commended must have been performed in the presence of great danger or at great personal risk and must be performed in a manner that renders the individual highly conspicuous among others of equal grade, rate, experience or position of responsibility.
A 20-year-old Cameron Park man was killed Friday night on Highway 50 just west of Missouri Flat Road in Placerville when his vehicle struck a tree off the shoulder of the freeway. Witnesses reportedly told California Highway Patrol officers the man, driving a 1998 Ford Mustang and the sole occupant of the vehicle, had swerved and lost control before veering off the road and into a tree. The driver was declared deceased on scene and his name has not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin. CHP officers responded to the call at about 7:43 p.m.; the CHP incident report lists weather at the time as clear. CHP investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to call their Placerville office at (530) 748-2450.

EDHCSD directors decide to keep parks illuminated Sel Richard Staff writer Blackstone community requests for the shutdown of parking lot lights at the village’s future park have been, essentially, shutdown. Prior to the June 10 El Dorado Hills Community Services District Board of Directors meeting, Blackstone HOA President Bob Hendricks logged multiple inquiries, referring the area’s designation as a “dark sky” community. He proposed several solutions, which included turning off lights in both Blackstone Village Park and Valley View Park, as well as adding low-voltage pathway lighting in the village park that would not impact the dark sky environment. “Having parking lot lighting
in a parking lot that is closed and barricaded made no sense,” Hendricks insisted. “The county’s general plan lighting policy states that consideration will be given to the use of automatic shutoffs or motion sensors for lighting features in rural areas to further reduce excess nighttime light.” Several neighbors spoke, one of whom pointed out that the park is surrounded by homes, unlike some other CSD parks. Tom Fox, Blackstone HOA director and CFO, noted that because the board is now no longer developercontrolled they are tackling light pollution complaints more seriously, recently hiring a code enforcement ■

The required 20 signatures to prompt a recall petition of four of five members of the Placerville City Council have been received and verified by city staff. The effort can now move to the next step before beginning to gather signatures from 25% of the city's registered voters to initiate a recall election. The recall effort is aimed at Mayor Dennis Thomas, Vice Mayor Kara Taylor and Council Members Michael Saragosa and Patty Borelli, according to a press release from recall organizer Mandi Rodriguez. The release cites the following reasons for the recall effort: • Failed to protect, honor and respect our history, heritage, culture and diversity • Failed to adequately represent us, respect us and listen to our concerns • Failed to address the homeless condition • Failed to encourage transparency in city transactions while working with outside interests in an effort to create a “new” culture • Failed to show fiscal restraint with taxes, revenues and expenditures, leaving residents with high sewer and water bills and potholes • Failed to adequately protect and retain the city’s historical assets as required in the General Plan The Mountain Democrat first learned of the recall effort just after
the April 13 City Council meeting. At that meeting, City Council voted unanimously to remove the depiction of a noose on the city’s logo and municipal assets. An initial effort to start the process was rejected due to a lack of verifiable Placerville resident signatures. City Clerk Regina O’Connell said the proponents of the recall have now collected the required 20 verified signatures to move on to the next step of the process. According to Rodriguez, a 2020 City Council candidate, there has been talk about a recall effort for some time. “The final straw was that they failed to follow the process they voted on,” she explained, referring to council members’ July 2020 vote to table the noose discussion to January 2021 in hopes of returning to in-person meetings amid the pandemic. “If the city would have followed the process to put the noose [discussion] on a ballot instead of making it a council vote … either put it on the ballot or make it an in-person discussion, that’s all we asked,” Rodriguez said. The next step in the recall process is to publish intent to recall in a local publication, then provide the proof of said publication to the county registrar of voters. Once these steps are complete proponents will need to prepare the actual recall petition for circulation. The petition must follow the format provided by the Secretary of State.

Monday afternoon's fast-moving grass fire on slopes above the Blackstone Parkway area of south El Dorado Hills scorched 35 acres.
Fires Continued from A1 Firefighters were keeping an eye out for hot spots Tuesday while also conducting fire suppression repair work. El Dorado Hills firefighters jumped on a third blaze Tuesday morning, this one a “small vegetation fire” near the Blue Shield offices just west of El Dorado Hills Town Center. EDH Fire officials said the fire was possibly caused by a transformer failure. Residents in the area also reported experiencing a power outage. The cause of the other two fires is under investigation, according to officials with each incident’s leading fire agency.

WHITE SPOT LESIONS White spot lesions are opaque, chalky, white spots that form on the teeth, often due to a loss of minerals in the tooth’s enamel. They are very common for people with braces who do not brush and floss their teeth properly. They can also be caused by consuming a lot of acidic foods such as citrus fruits and coffee, and are often the first sign of a cavity. Although the lesions cannot be removed once they form, in some cases the dentist may be able to reduce their appearance with micro-abrasion treatments. An appointment with the dentist should be made as soon as they appear to avoid cavities and other serious problems.
Choose a family dentist who has a sincere interest in his or her patients’ complete health and who is up to date on the latest oral health care issues. If you are looking for just such a dentist, we invite you to call us for an appointment.

California Matters
Legislature passes a self-serving sham budget
T
he Legislature’s Democratic supermajority put on something of a show earlier this month as they pretended to pass a new state budget. There were floor speeches, formal roll call votes and a deluge of self-congratulatory DAN WALTERS statements after the day’s activities. “The budget we’re sending to Gov. Newsom reflects responsible budgeting as the Legislature’s top priority and makes vital investments in California’s future,” Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins said in a post-session statement. However, it was just a sham driven by the state constitution’s requirement that legislators pass a budget by June 15 or see their salaries suspended. Republican Sen. James Nielsen captured the situation when he said, “This is a fake budget. It’s a feel-good budget. It’s a let-us-get-paid budget. But what we’re voting on is not going to be the budget.” It’s not going to be the budget because Rendon and Atkins still must settle disagreements with Gov. Gavin Newsom, not only on how much to spend but even how much revenue they have to spend. The two budgets are perhaps 90% in agreement but in a spending plan that tops $200 billion, 10% is still a lot of money. The charade caps decades of political wrangling over how state budgets should be drafted. Until the early 1970s, budgets were typically written in secret by a few legislators and the governor’s office but that practice ended when one legislator, facing a tough re-election campaign, loaded up a budget with pork barrel projects for his district. The legislator was stripped of his position, his budget was set aside and new, seemingly more transparent, procedures were adopted. Eventually, however, the process drifted back into secret negotiations between the governor and a “Big 5” of legislative leaders that included Republicans because the budget required two-thirds votes for enactment. A decade ago the Big 5 became the Big 3, excluding Republicans, after voters approved a 2010 ballot measure, largely sponsored by public employee unions, that reduced the vote needed to pass a budget to a simple majority. Proposition 25’s sponsors cited months-long delays in passing budgets during Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger’s governorship as a rationale and ■

Letters to the Editor Alger’s fear-mongering EDITOR: little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” wrote Alexander Pope. Proof lies in the June 7 letter “Early Release” by George Alger, who hyper-ventilates at the idea that California plans a “wholesale release of violent felons” — which isn’t true, of course. What California is actually planning is the release of 76,000 inmates already eligible for sentence reductions. “Eligible” does not mean “done deal.” Furthermore, the release will take place over weeks and months after review of each individual case under new criteria. What is new is the change of the criteria under which felons can reduce their sentences. This change is meant to affect mostly prisoners sentenced under California’s draconian and inhumane Nixonera “three-strikes” law. No “wholesale” releases are planned, as Alger’s fear-mongering, fantasy-based letter claims. JOHN GARON Placerville

Bye, bye miss American pie EDITOR:
W
e continue to watch the woke/cancel culture police ban or denounce anything that symbolizes America. More recently, they have taken it even further — joined by President Biden, Major League Baseball and American corporate leaders — cancelling mom, baseball and apple pie. Let’s begin with mom: It was around Mother’s Day when Congresswoman Cori Bush was testifying before the Democrat Oversight Committee about the birth of her two children and the Black maternal health crisis, replacing the word “mothers” with “birthing people.” This was soon followed by a Twitter backlash for using the gender-neutral term. Some did come to her rescue, claiming that surrogates and transgender
men can also give birth and be considered mothers. Bush is the newest member of AOC’s squad. Soon after, President Biden bowed to the squad and the woke by replacing “mother” with “birthing person” in his proposed budget. Next, it’s America’s favorite pastime, baseball. The San Francisco Giants took some heat for wearing Pride patches on their uniform. But the new politics and racism of sports really made the headlines when Major League Baseball and large American corporations denounced Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021, calling it racist. This resulted in the MLB and numerous corporations boycotting the city of Atlanta, along with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred relocating the All Star Game and MLB Draft from Georgia to Colorado. It soon became clear that Manfred had not read the Georgia statute, discovering too late that Colorado’s voting laws were almost the same as Georgia’s. While this move caused great economic losses to Atlanta, the biggest losses were experienced by Black American business owners who own 30% of Atlanta’s small businesses. The woke police are relentless and have now branded apple pie racist. Raj Patel, food writer for the Guardian Newspaper, claims that the famed American dessert was born of colonialism and slavery, stating that the pie has “bloody origins and is as American as stolen land, wealth and labor.” Patel writes that apples arrived from central Asia and traveled to the western hemisphere with colonists in the 1500s, who used the apple trees as markers of civilization or property. He added, “John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, took these markers of colonized property to the frontiers of the U.S. expansion, where his trees stood as symbols that indigenous communities had been extirpated.” Patel then linked the arrival of the sugar on the pie crust to that of French slavery in the 1700s. It’s time to cancel the woke. On July 4, let’s fly Old Glory and take a drive to Apple Hill. TERRY GHERARDI Cameron Park

Adult cats resided “alone together” in single-occupant kitty condos next to each other. But the biggest surprise for me were the dogs. Far from seeming sad in their clean, comfortable enclosures, they looked as if they were anticipating going out for a walk or to play and have fun. And that’s because they do that — regularly. “We have a vibrant volunteer program, and the dogs get out usually two or three times a day,” explained Henry Brzezinski, chief of El Dorado County Animal Services, as he showed me around the shelter. The outings might be for exercise or to interact with a potential adoptive family in a large, shaded “meet and greet” yard. Brzezinski himself comes from an animal welfare background, having worked as a field investigator and director for humane organizations and drafted state animal welfare laws in the South before coming to California. Here he has testified on several bills, including one establishing state certification for animal services officers. He told me that arranging adoptions and maintaining public safety are the shelter’s main priorities. “We handle maybe 3,000 animals per year and we never euthanize because of a lack of space. The two main reasons an animal might be
put down are aggression and severe medical issues.” Thanks to donations from the local animal welfare community — especially PAWED (People for Animal Welfare in El Dorado County), which raised more than $250,000 to help equip the new shelter when it opened in 2015 — the facility has its own in-house veterinary clinic. “We’ve even done amputations that were needed to prepare an injured pet for adoption,” Brzezinski told me. “Back in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, shelters would euthanize a dog if it had heart worm.” That means the majority of animals taken into the shelter are either adopted out or turned over to rescue groups that seek foster homes until adoptive families can be found. So the overall picture continues to improve. How can you help the effort? Above all, spay and neuter! “With dogs, the message has gotten through, but with cats there’s still a ways to go,” Brzezinski said. Also, if you’re seeking a pet don’t hang back the way I used to — go straight to the shelter first, where friendly volunteers who know the animals well will patiently work with you to help you find a good match.

Sale of Chili Bar Powerhouse and Reservoir between PG&E and SMUD closed escrow last week.
SMUD buys PG&E’s Chili Bar Powerhouse

Pacific Gas and Electric Company has sold a hydroelectric powerhouse, dam and reservoir on the South Fork of the American River to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District at a price tag of $10.4 million — adding seven megawatts of clean, renewable power to SMUD’s supply. “We’re excited to be adding this to our power supply,” said SMUD CEO and General Manager Paul Lau. “The purchase of Chili Bar provides us with clean, reliable power that also helps us make the transition to zero carbon by 2030.” Escrow closed June on the Chili Bar Project in El Dorado County. The Chili Bar facilities are located north of Placerville and began operating in 1965. PG&E has been strategically removing certain small hydro projects from its generation portfolio, including ones that are geographically remote from other PG&E hydro projects, which makes them more costly to operate, like Chili Bar. In some cases the utility has sold the projects to regional entities for a better fit. PG&E does not anticipate employee impact as a result of the sale. PG&E and SMUD have a long history of close coordination of operations in the area. PG&E approached SMUD about a potential sale in 2017, and in 2019 the two parties finalized negotiations on a purchase and sale agreement. The
California Public Utilities Commission approved the agreement in 2020 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the project license transfer in 2021. Because the Chili Bar powerhouse has a relatively small generating capacity, its sale will have a negligible impact on PG&E’s overall portfolio of renewable power. While the project provided marginal benefits for PG&E customers, the facilities are closely tied to SMUD’s existing American River operations and will enhance the district’s Upper American River Project just upstream from Chili Bar Reservoir. The UARP is SMUD’s “stairway of power” that currently features 11 dams and eight powerhouses. The UARP is a major power producer for SMUD. In a normal water year the UARP can provide about 20% of SMUD customers’ power needs, which is especially valuable in hot summer months. For SMUD the purchase pushes the UARP’s capacity to 695MW and adds to SMUD’s renewable portfolio standard numbers as Chili Bar’s generating capacity is under the state’s 30MW maximum capacity to qualify as renewable. It also helps SMUD realize its carbon reduction goals as SMUD moves to reduce all carbon from its power supply by 2030. The UARP generation resource is a significant factor in SMUD’s power supply being more than half noncarbon-emitting and is SMUD’s most economical resource.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). At first glance, it would seem you’re in a mood to take a chance, risk rejection, go for the big spoils. Upon further assessment, this isn’t a mood at all. It’s an orientation built to last.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Groups are tricky. Shop around to find the right one. A good fit would be a place in which the spirit with which the endeavor is approached harmonizes with the endeavor itself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The complexity of a relationship will baffle you. Each nuance has meaning split open and reflecting an opposite meaning, like light refracted through crystals, dazzling and disorienting. The conquest is the surrender.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have patience with those who seem to need to puff themselves up, posture and jockey for position. Fame and power are what people go for before they understand what they really crave, which is a union with their own soul.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you seek is inside yourself, but if you can’t see it and don’t know what it is, so what if you happen to be carrying it around? To recognize the internal quality, you need the external pursuit. Vision requires light from the outside.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The difficulties will clear up in stages. Get interested instead of frustrated. The more curious you are about how things work, the more they will reveal themselves to you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll construct your plan like any master builder, one brick at a time until it’s complete. It’s a comfort knowing tomorrow you’ll be living in the fruit of today’s effort. Can you also enjoy the labor?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Constructive daydreaming is a joy and the most productive way to spend your creativity, as long as you keep track of where you’ve traveled on this journey of imagination.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The sort of work required will be deep and concentrated. It won’t pair well with shallow, vain pursuits. It will be impossible to do this work in a place of distraction, which every place is now, unless you silence your phone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Roses have thorns. Chocolate is a bitter bean. The classic love stories involve the tragic longing of lovers who, for some reason, can’t unite. Strip the thorns; add sugar; remove the obstacle. Viva capability!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is an uncoordinated, improvised quality to the day’s unfolding, to the point where you might even call it a mess. Lovely things are born of messes, though, and in fact, messiness is just a fact of birth.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want enough order in your environment to allow for unobstructed movement to achievable aims. But don’t expect or even strive for things to be perfect. Too much order is uninspiring and strangely demotivating. Strike a balance.

officer who has cited residents for string lights along fences and other lighting violations. “The lights in the park really is against the community and what people are expecting from a park,” he said. Regarding “dark sky” communities, EDHCSD Director of Parks and Planning Tauni Fessler indicated that it isn’t a recognized designation by the county. “It may be something that the community wants to designate itself, but it isn’t something established by the county and enforced,” she said. “There hasn’t been anything described in the specific plan or in the other documents as far as conditions placed on the project.” Park Superintendent Dan Williams maintained that the lights are installed for security purposes. “It’s universally accepted design criteria
that law enforcement has given to public agencies such as parks to employ. All of their recommendations provide for some kind of lighting,” he said. “They never recommend complete dark out because they can see anything that’s going on or assist the public for safety.” Ultimately, board members recommended that lights stay on at Blackstone Village Park and upgraded, dimmable lights be installed at Valley View Park. Director Sean Hansen also called for stronger public outreach and engagement. Although the board was receptive to the possibility of pathway lights, Fessler noted that since no electricity was planned for the path, the change would incur significant cost. Hansen suggested the investigation of pathway lighting for future projects.

Commercial condos proposed in EDH biz park Sel Richard Staff writer Small business owners looking for space may soon have another option in El Dorado Hills. A proposed commercial condominium project in the business park along Robert J. Mathews Parkway south of Golden Foothill Parkway was announced by Area Planning Advisory Committee Chair John Davey at last month’s meeting. The already graded 5-acre parcel is intended for six buildings; three larger buildings ranging from 9,800 to 23,317 square feet and three smaller buildings between 3,744 and 9,827 square feet will house a total of 68 individual units of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. Owners will share roughly 2,000 square feet of common space with a gated entrance. The private commercial condominiums will be sold or

analyzing challenges based on wildfire risks, the decision provides guidance for future public and private projects. The appellate court explained: “The question is not whether substantial evidence supports a fair argument that the proposed project will have significant impacts on resident safety and emergency evacuation. (The) question is whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment … The (residents’) statements relate to how existing wildfire hazards might impact residents during the project’s construction and do not support a fair argument that the project may have a potentially significant effect on the environment or may exacerbate existing environmental hazards, i.e., effects that arise because the project brings ‘development and people into the area affected.’” Throughout its decision the appellate court relied heavily on the decision of the trial court and demonstrated through the record that the county had exhaustively complied with the analysis CEQA requires. Similar to the trial court, the appellate court considered the testimony submitted in opposition to the project and concluded that the testimony lacked the necessary expertise and factual basis to carry petitioners’ burden. The appellate court recognized the expertise necessary to evaluate evacuation routes and that the Department of Transportation had coordinated with the Office of Emergency Services to ensure adequate evacuation options in the event of a fire during construction. While petitioners sought to fault the county for not identifying predetermined evacuation routes, the appellate court recognized the analysis the county had performed and the inability to identify the ideal evacuation route in advance of an emergency. The appellate court explained:

A developer has proposed building commercial condos in the El Dorado Hills Business Park. The suites could be leased or purchased.
said county Planning Manager Bret Sampson, adding that California Environmental Quality Act documents and traffic studies are under way. “It’s essentially a commercial building that allows businesses to buy a condo in the property to operate their business from,” explained Davey, adding that tax advantages may be afforded through property ownership. In addition, the concept allows business owners to buy a suite rather than a whole building, offering the flexibility of future growth. “Basically it fits exactly what the business park is built for,” said APAC Vice Chair Tim White, who assured that all design standards will be reviewed by the EDH Business Park Owners Association. Sampson indicated the proposal may be presented to the county Planning Commission around the end of the year.
“(The) agency with the expertise and authority over evacuations approved of the mitigation proposed and would continue to play a key role in determining which mitigation measures to employ in a given emergency. The record also shows that it was impractical and infeasible for the county to articulate which evacuation option would be implemented in a specific emergency.” “While risks of wildfire understandably remain a significant concern of residents in our county in light of recent catastrophes, our department ensured that this project will mitigate any temporary risks to the surrounding residents and in the long term, will provide a safer evacuation route since the existing bridge is likely to fail similar to the manner in which the large culvert failed at Fort Jim in 2017,” said Kahling. Ultimately, the appellate court affirmed the decision in favor of the county’s arguments, finding that petitioners did not carry their burden to show substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the project may have a significant effect on the environment necessitating a full environmental impact report. The appellate court also rejected numerous arguments that petitioners sought to raise for the first time on appeal. “We mounted a strong defense by providing evidence that the county had adequately considered the impacts of the project and incorporated necessary mitigation to reduce those impacts,” said Moebius. “The county remains sensitive to the existing challenges from wildfire risks independent of this project but the decision today reflects the limited inquiry in a CEQA case and recognizes the exhaustive analysis presented to the Board of Supervisors when the project was approved.” The bridge replacement project will begin early spring 2023, Hass said.

of criteria that is not followed that should be followed. If you go to the wall, you should see what you would expect on the wall. “If we don’t meet the criteria, we cannot honor those who do.” Speaking in defense of the plaque’s placement were officials with the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance — President Gary Campbell, Secretary John Poimiroo and Vice President Jack Babbitt. They argued that Jacobs did in fact meet all necessary qualifications for plaque’s placement on the wall, that the criteria is out of date and open to interpretation and that the Veterans Alliance, citing County Ordinance 4715, is responsible for reviewing and approving the placement of memorials at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument. “Considering the fame of Captain Jacobs’ actions, it did not even occur to us the plaque should be anywhere other than on that wall,” Campbell said. Tyler Jacobs, son of the Navy captain, spoke at the hearing, showing his disappointment with the protest. He said the process has been stressful and that he felt his father has been disrespected by the county, adding that the plaque should have been placed from the very beginning. The plaque was dedicated in a Memorial Day ceremony this year. "It's hard to have good days when this is how my father is being
treated," Tyler said. "My father is a hero." Richard Armitage, the U.S. Defense Department official who led the effort to rescue the Vietnamese Navy, spoke as well. “It’s ironic that (the war) that nearly tore our nation is (in a way) continuing today,” Armitage said. “Anyone who puts the welfare of others above their own is heroic.” The veterans committee then took clarifying questions. Others who spoke at the hearing were Jan Herman, chief Navy medical historian and author of the U.S. Naval Institute’s “The Lucky Few,” that tells the story of Jacobs and the USS Kirk’s rescue mission; Richard McKenna, a retired Navy captain and executive officer on the USS Kirk at the time 32,000 Vietnamese refugees were rescued; and Peter Nguyen, a refugee rescued by Jacobs. Forming the committee of federally chartered veteran organizations were Allen Amaro of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 63, Charles Sweet of Fleet Reserve Association, Ken Thurman of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, John Brown of the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers and Leonard McAdams representing Veterans of Foreign Wars. An appeal of the committee’s decision must come within 10 days of Monday’s hearing and if that happens, the matter would then be heard by the Board of Supervisors.
El Dorado County can proceed with the Newtown Road Bridge Replacement Project after winning an appeal by the Third District Court of Appeal.

“A

The EDMT team has developed a creative way to put on this “live” performance like never before. “This year has pushed us in different kinds of creativity,” Wilson explained. In order for EDMT to ensure the show would go on, big changes had to be made and a new reality began to form — one without an audience, something the cast members said they really missed.

As you wander the switchbacks and make your way to the top, you get a nice view of the lake, the meadows and the city below. These are multi-use trails. Hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians enjoy the view together. I was able to hike a couple miles, in and around the area, with the pond always in view before the next storm hit. Upper Bidwell Park offers steeper and longer trails. Several trails intersect, making longer treks possible. ■

Soroptimist scholarships given to deserving women News release Soroptimist International Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills has awarded $1,000 scholarships to four local seniors. Recipients from Ponderosa High School are Kylie Cox and Alyssa Fong and recipients from Oak Ridge High School are Jessica Polson and Victoria Kolanski. All students have plans to attend college in the fall. Kylie plans to attend University of Southern California and major in neuroscience and then enter medical school and become a physician. She said caring for her grandmother with Alzheimer’s prompted her interest in how the brain and body work. Alyssa has been accepted at Vanguard University and will major in business with the goal of working in public affairs. She also will be playing soccer. Jessica plans to attend Washington State University and will major in education, specializing in special education. She said her mother, a special education teacher in an underserved community, was her inspiration. Victoria will attend USC and major in business administration with the goal of becoming involved in marketing. She said the Hands4Hope club was instrumental in honing her skills in leadership. Soroptimist International of Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills was chartered in 1981 and is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary while the first Soroptimist club, established in 1921 in Oakland, is celebrating its centennial. Globally, Soroptimist International and has grown to more than 100,000 members in 120 countries and has official status with the United Nations to advocate on behalf of women’s and children’s issues. A primary focus of Soroptimist International is to provide women and girls with access to the education and the training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Besides high school and Folsom Lake College scholarships, the SICPEDH club’s Live Your Dream program provides monetary awards to women who are the sole providers for their family and need financial help to complete their educational goals. Other projects include Tech Trek camps for girls at UC Davis, Odyssey of the Mind and support of 3Strands Global and other local agencies in the fight against sex-trafficking. The only event held to provide the funds for these awards is LUNAFEST, a film festival of international short films by, for and about women. This year, the event, held in May, was virtual. Now members are looking forward to their next in-person (along with a virtual option) LUNAFEST in April 2022. For additional information about Soroptimist International of Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills or LUNAFEST contact Marlyn at pinojones@yahoo.com or visit the club website, sicpedh.org.

Grow for it! Plant diseases
P
lant disease is defined as any abnormal condition that reduces usefulness or productivity. Humans have been studying plant disease and ways to prevent or manage Laurel Rady it since we first began cultivating plants for UCCE Master Gardener of food. For nearly 2,000 El Dorado County years little progress was made because many disease-producing agents are too small to be seen by the naked eye. The inventions of the compound and electron microscopes provided invaluable assistance in discovery and diagnosis. There are two types of plant disease. Infectious disease is caused by a pathogen such as fungi, bacteria, viruses or parasites. Non-infectious disease is caused by environmental factors such as drought, nutritional deficiencies, mineral or pesticide toxicities, freezing temperatures, the lack or excess of light, air pollution or improper growing practices. Disease occurs when a susceptible plant comes into contact with a pathogen or an environmental factor and that results in the death or disruption of plant cells and tissues that affect normal, healthy growth. Three essential components are required for infectious disease to develop in a plant. A pathogen, a susceptible host and a favorable environment may cause disease if all three elements are present. For example, inoculation occurs when a pathogen comes into contact with a susceptible host. Penetration occurs when the pathogen gains entry into the plant by producing enzymes that soften cell

Infection occurs when the pathogen establishes continuous contact with susceptible cells or tissues and sets up a parasitic relationship by procuring its nutrients from the host plant. Diseases do not spread from plant to plant, pathogens do. Dissemination of pathogens occurs via wind, irrigation, rain, insects, infested soil or debris, contaminated equipment or garden tools, animals, humans and worldwide travel. Pathogens can survive in infected plant parts, seeds, weeds or in other forms. Infectious diseases can be avoided by selecting healthy plants that do well in your climate zone, choosing appropriate planting dates, placing plants in locations that are suited to their needs and have no history of disease, well-draining soil and using the correct irrigation and fertilization methods. Non-infectious disease is caused by extremes. Too much or too little of any important environmental

factor can affect plant health and development such as water, light, minerals, nutrients, heat, cold, wind and air pollution. Non-infectious disease often results from human activity or neglect and they can be as serious as pathogen-induced diseases. Noninfectious diseases can be avoided by making sure that plants have good drainage and are protected from weather extremes. The best strategy for maintaining healthy plants is to protect them from becoming diseased in the first place. Know the names and varieties of your plants, the conditions they prefer and provide the right soil, water, light, drainage, temperature, fertilizer and protection. This will go a long way toward keeping them growing and thriving. Due to the pandemic, Master Gardener events will for the foreseeable future continue to be limited.

rotated through the studio, filming shots solo when performing without a mask was necessary and pods were formed for those actors whose scenes were to be filmed together. The addition of these changes brought a new set of challenges, which led to longer filming time and creating more work for both cast and crew. “Insane” is how Wilson described the process. But with these changes brought new opportunities for the behind-the-scenes crew. Choreographer Anjie Rose Wilson and director of photography Ryan Van Overeem were tasked with turning a theater production into a twohour movie. Collaboration became key, they said, especially when filming scenes with unmasked performers. The need to schedule different pods for filming purposes and keep the other cast and crew members distanced and protected meant characters didn’t necessarily play their story all the way through. Some will see the final product for the first time once the movie is complete. With all of the crazy challenges, one thing that didn’t change was the ability for Zach Wilson to create an impressive stage that takes the viewer to the underwater world of Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob and his friends are in peril. As chaos ensues, the need for a hero is eminent ... but who is brave enough to save Bikini Bottom? As Zach explained, a challenge he faced creating a set for a film rather than for a live performance was the need to give the room a 360 degree view that filming provides to the viewer. This meant creating more depth, adding interesting vignettes and utilizing lighting in different ways. And as much as Wilson said he misses live theater and human interaction, he told Mountain Democrat, “I am grateful that we have these opportunities.” Those words were echoed by the cast. Carson Beards, who plays Perch Perkins, the reporter who reports on news everyone already knows, shared that a lot of his own personality comes through in his role. “I find it really funny,” said Beards of his character. Beards made his EDMT debut in 2009, when he was just 8, as one of the Lollipop Guild Munchkins in “The Wizard of Oz” and said he has aspirations to perform on Broadway as a swing ensemble member on the National Broadway Tour. The mayor of Bikini Bottom is played by Katie Chiappone, who admits that as mayor, she is not doing a very good job. “The mayor is selfish. She wants everyone to follow her, but only wants what’s best for her and then what’s best for the town,” Chiappone explained. The adorable boating school instructor, Mrs. Puff, is played by Ashley Slavin, who shared how
At first, Debbie Wilson said she wasn’t completely smitten with the idea of taking on “The SpongeBob Musical,” which last performed on Broadway in 2018. What drew her to this eclectic musical was the legendary and talented song writers who wrote original music for the show — David Bowie, Steven Tyler, Cyndi Lauper as well as newer performers like Panic! At the Disco, Lady Antebellum and many others. Nickelodeon’s “The SpongeBob Musical” is based on the series by Stephen Hillenburg with book by Kyle Jarrow and musical production conceived by Tina Landau. This production is directed by Debbie Wilson with choreographer Anjie Rose Wilson, vocal director Justin Harvey, costume designer Karen McConnell, director of photography Ryan Van Overeem and art director Zach Wilson. EDMT’s “The SpongeBob Musical” will be livestreamed for an audience at 6 p.m. Friday, June 25, at Rolling Hills Church in El Dorado Hills. To purchase tickets for the in-person screening event and for more informations visit the EDMT website edmt.info/spongebob2021. Home streaming will be available July 2 & 3 and July 9 & 10.

Even Squidward Q. Tentacles (Joey Baciocco) gets caught up in the antics in “The SpongeBob Musical.” much she loves playing her character and especially enjoys having the ability to rehearse her role until it’s perfect for the film version. Slavin has been with EDMT for 10 years, beginning in 2011 when she played Spoon in “Beauty and the Beast.” Jack Gregory is making his debut playing the buff surfer dude, Larry the Lobster. Although this is his first year with EDMT, he said he has been interested in acting since he was 6. He told Mountain Democrat he found the process of working in film to be cool as he had the chance to see the crew create each character. SpongeBob’s boss and owner of the Krusty Krab, Eugene Krabs, is played by longtime EDMT performer Ty Rhoades, who said he enjoyed taking his character and making the role his own. Rhoades, like many other actors, said he prefers live performances to filming, but did acknowledge that he learned a thing or two working on the film side. This is Rhoades’ ninth year with EDMT, his first performance was in “Seussical” in 2012. Old Man Jenkins is played by Nathan Hansen. “He thinks everyone comes to him for his wisdom,” Hansen explained. While playing his character, Hansen shared a realization. “He is not a character I would want to be when I’m that age.” Hansen debuted in “Alice in Wonderland” in 2015.

COUNTY OF EL DORADO PLANNING COMMISSION TIFFANY SCHMID, Executive Secretary June 23, 2021 9181 6/23 NOTICE OF DECISION The County of El Dorado Planning and Building Department is considering taking action on the following project request: Request for approval of Design Review DR20-0002 for the Saratoga Medical Office Facility in the El Dorado Hills, CA Community Region submitted by Kevin Ha. In accordance with the County of El Dorado Zoning Ordinance Title 130, Article 5, Section 130.50.040 B (Staff-level Review with Public Notice), the applicant is seeking approval by the Planning and Building Department Director for Design Review DR20-0002 to allow the construction and operation of a 32,000-square-foot two-story medical office building including four office suites, 135 off-street parking stalls, and a landscape plan. The 2.5-acre property is located on the north side of Saratoga Way, approximately 1,700-feet west of the intersection with El Dorado Hills Boulevard, in the El Dorado Hills Community Region, and is identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 120-690-011, has a Zoning Designation of Community Commercial - Design Review (CCDC), and a General Plan Land Use Designation of Commercial (C). California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The project is Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15268 (Ministerial Projects) stating that, “Ministerial projects are exempt from the requirements of CEQA. The determination of what is “ministerial” can most appropriately be made by the particular public agency involved based upon its analysis of its own laws, and each public agency should make such determination either as a part of its implementing regulations or on a case-by-case basis.” According to Zoning Code Section 130.52.030 B – Review Authority, Procedure, and CEQA, “The approval of a Design Review Permit is a ministerial project pursuant to CEQA, when in compliance with adopted Design Standards. The Design Review process shall be limited to consideration of compliance with established standards, provided that the use proposed for the project site is an allowed use within the zone.” Approval of the Design Review would allow for the construction and operation of a 32,000-square-foot two-story medical office building including four office suites, 135 offstreet parking stalls, and a landscape plan. This development is allowed by right within the CC-DC zone, and therefore qualifies for the exemption. The Staff Report, project materials, and proposed Director Determination for Design Review DR20-0002 may be viewed at the County of El Dorado Planning and Building Department, 2850 Fairlane Court, Placerville, CA 95667, during normal business hours or online at: https://edc-trk.aspgov. com/etrakit/Search/project.aspx The project request is being processed in accordance with the authorizations of the El Dorado County Zoning Code Section 130.50.040 B (Staff-level Review with Public Notice), and review of the above referenced project has been completed and tentatively approved by Planning Services, subject to the standards found in Title 130, Article 5, Section 130.50.040 (General Review Procedure), as a Staff Level Review with Public Notice. The decision to approve this project may be appealed to the Planning Commission by filing an appeal application and applicable fees to the County of El Dorado Planning and Building Department within the 10-working-day appeal period; starting on date of approval June 23, 2021 ending at 5pm on July 7, 2021. Any questions regarding the project may be directed to Project Planner, Matthew Aselage, at (530) 621-5977/ matthew.aselage@edcgov.us COUNTY OF EL DORADO TIFFANY SCHMID, Director Planning and Building Department June 23, 2021 9182 6/23
