It’s official; it’s normal again Chris Daley Mountain Democrat correspondent El Dorado County supervisors met Tuesday for the first in-person session in nearly 18 months. “I can’t tell you how glad I am to have us all here together,” said Chairman John Hidahl, who opened the meeting. “After 3 p.m. we’ll be back to normal; whatever normal is now.” The sentiment was shared by all supervisors and staff as they launched a 40-item agenda. As scheduled, the morning session, which saw no public attendance except for a Mountain Democrat reporter, was cut short so county staff could attend the funeral of county Surveyor Phil Mosbacher, who died suddenly June 10. The meeting resumed at 3 Tuesday afternoon, when about two dozen streamed in and filled audience seating. PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
Before the early recess, supervisors approved 34 items from the consent calendar without discussion. Item No. 3, regarding the disbursement of $51,021 to the Georgetown Divide Recreation District was held over until the June 29 meeting. Other significant issues included a board vote to accept the recommendation from the Chief Administrative Office to disburse $3,785,392 to the El Dorado Hills Community Services District … “for expenditures related to the Bass Lake Park and Valley View Village Park.” Full funding comes from development impact fees. CAO Don Ashton further recommended a two-part resolution “… terminating two March 2020 board resolutions that ratified coronavirus-related health emergencies.” The original resolutions were passed in conjunction with the El Dorado County sheriff and county health officer. A collective sigh of relief was almost palpable after the vote. Agenda item No. 19 represented another big ticket item — a $3,291,338, threeyear contract with Summitview Child and Family Services. The agency will provide “specialty mental health services for children and young adults through June 30, 2024.”

T
he 2021 Junior Livestock Auction at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds Saturday was a lively reminder things are getting back to normal as hundreds of kids selling their animals had a jam-packed audience bidding to support local Future Farmers of America and 4-H programs in the county. In 2020 the event was held online through an auction

City Council returns to Town Hall Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer It was business as usual as the Placerville City Council returned to chambers Tuesday night after more than a year of Zoom meetings. Amid comments of people being used to calling in from the comfort of their own homes and that council members appeared to look larger in person than on their computer screens, the Placerville City Council and staff
went on with the business of governance in Town Hall once again. At the top of the meeting there were four or five people in the audience and as the meeting progressed more residents showed up to speak to specific agenda items. Mayor Dennis Thomas took a selfie with the chamber and audience, celebrating the return to Town Hall. Council member Michael Saragosa remarked that Council member Jackie Neau
had won her election during the pandemic and this was her first time on the dais. Asked for comment on the return to in-person governance, Thomas told the Mountain Democrat after Tuesday’s meeting it was good to see people in person again, “to see their faces and smiles.” “There is no great substitution for being in the same room and experiencing the energy and life n

Gene “Gilly” Gillihan July 22, 1939 – Feb. 1, 2021
He was born Willard Eugene in Melbourne, Ark., to Pauline and Willard Gillihan. They compared his weight to a 10 pound bag of potatoes. After a difficult trip cross country, they ended up calling Placerville home when he was 2 years old. He went to grammar school and El Dorado High School class of ‘57. He really enjoyed being with his classmates at all their reunions and get togethers! He loved to listen to music and dance and everyone loved dancing with him. He joined the U.S. Navy after graduation as a signal man and served three years. Aboard the USS Lewis DE-535 (Destroyer Escort) he received a certificate and the honor of being numbered as one of the trusty Shellbacks Oct. 10, 1957. He was very proud of this achievement. He was a patriot that honored our nation’s flag and what it stands for. Remembering the cost of our liberties and freedom in these United States of America. He loved this country and took pride in serving. Gene was a very hard worker and worked many jobs always with a smile; Teichert, Brown & Edwards grading and paving, Gilly’s Wrecking Yard then on to own Gilly’s Radiator Shop. He bought the business started in 1949 from his dad (pop) A.W. Gillihan in September 1977. Earlier that year he bought his ‘77 Ford F-150 that everyone recognized him by. He loved his old green truck! Visiting, bench racing and hand waving for a honk, even if his head was under the hood, he would make sure to take the time to wave hello back. He did everything with a grateful heart and appreciated his customers’ business. He did not over charge, he was fair and honest. A mechanic who stood by his work and one you could trust. He was always up for a challenge, building custom radiators for race cars, model As, 4 wheelers and all kinds of old cars. All shapes and sizes, new or old; heating and cooling, he would fix it. Family friends and customers were welcome to visit anytime, even while he was working; he loved to laugh and tell all kinds of tall tales and stories. After a winter drive up to Carson City, Nev., Dec. 4, 1966, he married Mary Prater. They were married for 54 wonderful years. Missing him is his wife and children; son Chad and wife Catherine; daughter Gina and Chris; daughter Buffee and husband Daryl; grandchildren Danielle and husband Sawyer, Nicole, Erin, Amber, James, Christian, Alyssa, Bridgette and Cayleigh; siblings Willene and Roy; sister-in law Troma and many families and friends. Greeting him in Heaven his son Troy; brother Alden; parents, family and friends. Many fond memories and times spent together. He loved being with his family and taking them on trips. Some favorite places were Disneyland, Tahoe, the ocean and any car show or race along the way! He was always ready to take us out to eat. Sweetie Pies for breakfast, Poor Red’s for ribs, Tortilla Flats, Cracker Barrel anytime and Cattlemen’s or Longhorn for a steak! He loved racing!!! Building race cars, driving race cars, watching racing, talking racing and reliving his and other drivers racing days. In 1979 he won 13 main features and was awarded the title of track champion. He is one of the legends at Placerville (Hangtown) Speedway. Beauferd will be at Legends Night Aug. 14. He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, fishing and being the first to break trail after it snowed. He always took the time to teach us all sorts of sports, skiing, bowling, basketball and how to play golf with etiquette. In the ‘80s he coached Chad’s Green Valley High School golf team. Members at Cold Springs Golf & Country Club and everyone wanted to ride is his cool speedy golf cart. His recent toy, a 25 t-bucket that he built, he loved giving rides and cruising around. He was an early riser with coffee in hand he enjoyed looking at the stars, counting planes flying over, watering the flowers and tomato plants. Always offering a Pepsi or gum and candy. Once you met him you did not forget him. He had a knack for remembering faces. He leaves behind a legacy of love, joy, integrity and kindness. It is our responsibility as his family and friends to carry on his work. We find peace in knowing we will see him again, but until then our hearts will miss his laugh, embrace and generous spirit. His life was well-lived and overflowing with the most valuable moments in the human experience. We are grateful for a shining example of caring Fatherhood and endless giving. Now, we honor you by continuing in your path. Friendly to all ages. How he loved Placerville (Old Hangtown) and all the people in it. He is with the Lord and heavenly family. He said, “tell them I love them all!” Celebration of life will be held Aug. 12 at 1 p.m. Green Valley Church, 3500 Missouri Flat Road, Placerville.

Make that 4 fires Krysten Kellum Associate editor The Mountain Democrat reported Wednesday that firefighters were called to three fires in three days in El Dorado Hills. Well, make that four fires in three days. Tuesday afternoon El Dorado Hills Fire Department crews were called to a blaze at Bass Lake that mostly scorched the grassy slope leading up to the lake’s dam. EDH Fire officials say the fire started when a delivery truck came into contact with a power line, shearing two power poles and sending sparks into dry grass. Tuesday’s fire follows a 7.5-acre vegetation fire Sunday afternoon near Serrano Parkway and El Dorado Hills Boulevard, a 35-acre grass fire Monday in the area of Blackstone and Valley View parkways and a small grass fire near Blue Cross Tuesday morning that was possibly started by transformer failure. The causes of Sunday and Monday’s fires are under investigation. Firefighters say getting the flames knocked down in the Tuesday afternoon blaze at Bass Lake was made easier thanks to weed abatement efforts by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District, which owns the land, and the El Dorado Irrigation District, which conducts some operations there. If you’ve been out to Bass Lake in the past couple months you may have noticed the herd of goats busily munching away on dry grass as part of the weed abatement effort.
CHP puts speeders on notice California Highway Patrol The California Highway Patrol is partnering with 11 other highway patrols, state patrols and state police agencies for the Western States Traffic Safety Coalition traffic safety campaign, giving motorists “a dozen reasons not to speed.” Speeding violations will be the target of law enforcement in California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming from Friday, June 25, through Sunday, June 27. “Excessive speed and unsafe driving are a threat to everyone on the roadway,” said CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray. “The CHP and our allied state partners will be out in force this weekend with the common goal of saving lives through speed enforcement.” The speed enforcement campaign
City Council
follows a significant increase in speedrelated incidents and traffic fatalities in 2020. In California last year more than 500 people were killed and more than 57,000 others were injured in crashes caused by unsafe speed. CHP officers also issued more than 28,000 speeding citations to motorists driving in excess of 100 mph — and 9,300 more during the first four months of 2021. “Keep yourself and those on the road around you safe. Slow down and drive at a legal, safe speed,” added Commissioner Ray. In addition to speed, officers will be looking for seat belt and child safety seat violations, evidence of distracted driving and driving under the influence. The CHP and the officers and troopers of its allied law enforcement agencies remind you to drive safely and report any emergencies or dangerous drivers by calling 911.

CRIME LOG The following information was taken from Placerville Police Department crime logs:
City Manager Cleve Morris also shared his sentiments on getting “a little closer to normal.” “Virtual meetings served their purpose and allowed us to continue the necessary and critical work of running the city,” he said. “… there is no substitute for these in-person meetings and the discussions and openness that is evident in our conversations and actions.” Placerville City Council meetings will continue in person at Town Hall, 549 Main St., on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5 p.m.

What Causes It?
Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California’s charter school war flares up again
W
hen Gavin Newsom succeeded Jerry Brown as California’s governor two years ago, it re-ignited the Capitol’s long-running conflict over charter schools, which receive public funds but operate independently of DAN WALTERS traditional public school systems. As mayor of Oakland, Brown had founded two charter schools, the Oakland Military Institute and the Oakland School for the Arts, and during his second governorship was protective of the charter alternative. However, the public school establishment, led by the very powerful California Teachers Association, saw Newsom as a potential ally in its years-long effort to suppress, or even eliminate, the charter school movement. Advocates of charter schools, parents particularly, see them as workable alternatives for students who aren’t succeeding in traditional schools but critics portray them as elitist institutions that siphon money away. The fact that many charters are non-union is a big factor in the conflict, perhaps the dominant one. California’s During Newsom’s first year in office, the perpetual conflict anti-charter coalition over charter mounted a major assault, schools flared up which ended with some new regulations but again this year, fell short of strangling resulting in a charters, which now temporary truce. enroll more than 10% of the state’s public school students and have been growing as traditional schools have seen enrollment declines. Everything went on hold during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic as all public schools shut their doors and tried, with varying degrees of success, to conduct classes at home through the internet. However, a pandemic-induced school finance measure aimed at shoring up school district finances did take a bite out of money for charters. The conflict flared up again this year with the introduction of Assembly Bill 1316, carried by Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, a Democrat from Long Beach and former teacher who chairs the Assembly Education Committee and is closely aligned with the teachers’ union and other anticharter interests. Ostensibly, the bill would reform oversight of charter schools that offer home instruction, rather than classroom schooling, citing a scandal in San

There’s nothing new EDITOR: ’m awed by how people have unified under the belief that this country and the world need to all be on the same page politically. I’m impressed with their love of our government, believing the government will provide a new better way of life to those who believe and trust it. I fear for those who oppose the“majority’s points of view and wonder when those who do not obey, who have been demonized as sub-human and beyond contempt will be further singled out. I’m saddened by the fact that those who are pushing for this new, exciting, better way of life do not understand that their actions are the very definition of fascism. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

The Proud Boys EDITOR:
W
hether or not the Wagon Train hired The Proud Boys as security, I would like to ask the people of Placerville and the great El Dorado County community what I think is a rather serious question. Do we sincerely want to invite and encourage The Proud Boys to actively participate in community activities? Perhaps it seems like a benign organization
but it is not. In 2018 the FBI categorized it as an extremist group with connections to white supremacy groups. The founder and leader of the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, is well known for his extremely racists and right-wing views and his violent tendencies. The Proud Boys’ rhetoric is very disturbing. It is racist, homophobic, antiSemitic and misogynistic. They helped plan and actively participated in the Jan. 6 attack on The Capitol. They have also been involved in violent demonstrations across the U.S. and have been known for attacking people on the streets of New York. They also act as a recruitment and training group for even more extreme racist organizations. I hope the people of our community realize how much of our economy depends on tourism, including Apple Hill, the numerous wineries, the recreational areas of Eldorado National Forest, Main Street’s shops and restaurants and South Lake Tahoe. For our tourism industry to do well we need people from the greater community to feel welcome. Having The Proud Boys present does just the opposite. Many people, including people of color, members of the LGTBQ community, people of conscience and people afraid of violence taking place at such events, may just decide to stay home or go somewhere else to spend their money. More importantly, we live in a state that is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse places in the world. Increasing numbers of people of color, members of the LGTBQ community and people with differing views will continue to move here and be a vital part of our community and I believe we will be better for it. To deny that fact is to deny reality. The sooner we learn to live together the better off we will be. Racism, discrimination and The Proud Boys must have no place here and I would hope that The Proud Boys’ presence in our community will be strongly discouraged. SCOTT TAYLOR Placerville

taught junior high school for a couple of years in Davis in the ‘70s. Seventhgrade social studies mainly with an eighthgrade history chaser from time to time. In my experience the two grade levels were as different as night and day, oil and water, CHRIS sweet and savory. When confronting a seventhgrade spitballer, the perp often began his response with “Nuh uh, Mr. D!” “Uh huh Jimmy,” said I. “You tore a page out of your notebook, wadded it up, put it in your mouth for 57 seconds, soaked it up good and let fly at 10:22 a.m. this 11th day of April, 1975. It’s there on the blackboard right now and you will have it removed and into the wastebasket by the time I count to eight. Isn’t that right? — one.” “Sorry Mr. D.” “Thanks, Jimmy.” Next period, American history,
Rebecca passed a note to Tom during the Friday quiz. She wasn’t cheating per se. “She was just helping Tom,” who hadn’t read a chapter since early October. “I didn’t pass a note to Tom,” she challenged. “You always think I’m doing something DALEY wrong when I try to help somebody. I’m gonna tell my mom and you’ll be sooo sorry. Can me and Maria go to the bathroom?” The specific scenarios changed from day to day or hour to hour, but each was a moment in time of being caught red-handed, denying, then admitting versus continuing to deny despite crystal clear evidence. You learn to kind of expect it in junior high school. I don’t remember it much when I taught English at Davis High and certainly not during my years with Chapman University. The few examples there showed some

Fast forward to today and we see rather similar behaviors emanating from a large handful of elected officials. They’re like the infant, hands in front of face saying, “You can’t see me.” fairly significant pathology, but on the bright side they didn’t threaten to call their mom. And they rarely came back. Fast forward to today and we see rather similar behaviors emanating from a large handful of elected officials. They’re like the infant, hands in front of face saying, “You can’t see me.” I’m thinking most particularly about Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde. He is shown on video from Jan. 6 helping other members and Capitol guards pushing large furniture to barricade the doors of their chambers against the “normal tourist crowds” shouting “hang Mike Pence” and other peaceful words and slogans. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson said something like, “I was there and I
didn’t see anything violent or out of the ordinary, just some leftists and BLM people trying to be annoying.” Interviews over the past several weeks and months with a few of the rioters recall the eighth-grade notepassers. “You’re lying and you are fake news. I didn’t do anything wrong.” “Wait a sec, you’re saying all that video and hundreds of selfies taken in the Capitol are fake and made up?” “Yep, all of it.” “Uh huh.” Given the age difference between Sen. Johnson and Jimmy or Rebecca and Rep. Clyde, it can’t be some factor of age/maturity. In my mind that only leaves significant pathology ... and that’s pretty scary.

Diego. Operators of a non-classroom charter called A3 were accused of fraudulently obtaining at least $400 million in school money and two pleaded guilty earlier this year. However, the California Charter Schools Association saw it as a broader union-backed effort to undermine the movement with multiple new oversight mandates and ginned up a campaign to block the bill. The measure reached the Assembly floor but behind-the-scenes dickering among stakeholder interests, including Newsom’s staff, resulted in a compromise of sorts. The bill was placed on the Assembly’s “inactive file” and a temporary moratorium on new nonclassroom charters, imposed last year, was extended until 2025 in a “trailer bill” attached to the new state budget this month. “AB 1316 would have reduced and diverted education funds away from students and classrooms to be spent instead on bureaucracy and would have limited flexibility and educational opportunities,” Myrna Castrejón, president of the
California Charter Schools Association, said in a statement. “It would have effectively forced many schools to close down.” Despite the respite, the conflict will continue and perhaps become even sharper because overall K-12 enrollment is dropping due to a declining birthrate and other demographic factors, and the pandemic has significantly and perhaps permanently altered the state’s school system. Advocates of traditional schools worry that having experienced the ups and downs of distance learning, more parents and students might be attracted to charters, particularly those offering at-home instruction, thus shifting even more state school dollars. It’s a high-stakes competition for students and money that both sides see as existential — their institutional lives at risk — and Newsom will be feeling the heat from both as it continues.

raised and he said he took extremely good care of the animal by feeding it a precise diet and washing its hair every day to make sure its coat was in the most pristine condition. As Bloxsom stood on the stage showing off his magnificent cow, the bids just kept rising and before he knew it, the steer sold for $8 a pound for a total of $11,064. “Malibu has been an allaround great steer; I love that cow a lot,” Bloxsom said. “I’m very happy to see C&H Motor Parts buy my cow and (support) FFA and 4-H programs.” Morgan Wells of Southside Topnotch 4-H saw her 1,321pound steer earn the title of Reserve Champion Market Steer. The steer revved up like a bull waiting to be unleashed at a rodeo before calmly entering the auction circle and selling for $7,926. Austin Ferry, also of Southside Topnotch 4-H, had the Supreme Champion
Market Swine. His 265pound hog glided around the auction area following all of Ferry’s commands to perfection before selling for $2,120. Quincy Thuener of Gold Hill Toppers 4-H ended her 11-year 4-H career on top as her 162-pound lamb Ty earned the Supreme Champion Market Lamb ribbon and sold for a total of $1,620 at $10 a pound. Thuener will be attending college in Oklahoma this fall. Taylor Bacchi’s lamb was the Reserve Champion Market Lamb. The Southside Topnotch 4-H’er was seemingly on stage forever as bids for the 139pound animal went from $5 to $10 to $15 to $20 before settling at $69 a pound for a total of $9,591. “I’m very proud and very happy,” Bacchi said. “I’d wake up in the morning early and I would feed all of (my animals). Then I would work with every single
animal individually.” She said she would repeat that process every evening, spending a total of three hours a day with her animals. Bacchi also said she has raised and shown every species of animal in 4-H and two years ago she had a lamb make a similar climb up the money ladder, finishing at $70 a pound. Turkeys were back on the junior livestock circuit after a break and Cassidy Lowder, who has been showing animals for eight years, had the Supreme Champion Market Turkey. Auctioneer Seth Seever asked her what the turkey’s name was, and before she could answer, he shouted “Thanksgiving” into the microphone, leading to a roar of laughter from Lowder and the crowd. The bird sold for $1,500. Lowder has been a part of FFA and 4-H programs in the past but this year decided to show
independently. “This year I decided to take a break and show independently as I am focusing on my JROTC Air Force passion,” said the Union Mine High School senior who learned from Maj. George Adams in the inaugural JROTC Air Force classes at the school. Ashlyn Ettl and Jessa-Belle Hempel of Shingle Springers 4-H took home both of the major rabbit ribbons. Ettl won Supreme Champion Single Fryer while Hempel won Supreme Champion Pen of Rabbits. The pen featured three rabbits that went for a total of $900 while Ettl’s single fryer sold for $400. “I fed it a half cup a day, maybe three-quarters cups a day and just gave it as much water as it needed,” Ettl said. The Supreme Champion Market Goat went to Roen Thuener and his 104-pound animal sold for $1,040. Lucas Johnson of Rescue Up ‘N Comin’ 4-H earned
the Supreme Champion Pen of Chickens and sold them for $600. Kids from Ponderosa FFA, Southside Topnotch 4-H, Gold Hill Toppers 4-H, Rescue Up ‘N Comin’ 4-H, Shingle Springers 4-H, Camino Go Getters 4-H, Union Mine FFA, Dusty Dividers 4-H, Latrobe Outlanders 4-H, Mt. High Homeschool 4-H Club, Motherlode 49ers 4-H and Happy Sundowners 4-H participated. Two youngsters donated animals to the Heritage Foundation, which raises funds for the El Dorado County Fair and Event Center that has suffered a dirth in funding since the 2020 county fair was canceled amid the COVID19 pandemic. Austin Ferry donated a Heritage Hog that sold for a record $130 a pound which put the total over $30,000. Alisia Rodriguez donated a Heritage Lamb for $40 a pound for a total of $5,240.

While Optimist All-Star basketball games won’t be played this year, the Evening Optimist Club of Sacramento Foundation still released its rosters, which include local student-athletes Sam Rosen, Joseph Schneider, Bridget Donlan and Sophie Olson. Union Mine’s Sam Rosen and El Dorado’s Joseph Schneider were named to the boys South Small Schools team after a season in which they were co-MVPs of the Sierra Valley Conference. The Diamondbacks won their second consecutive league title and Rosen helped lead the way
by averaging 18.9 points and 6.6 rebounds. He is undecided on where he will attend college. Schneider averaged 20.9 points and 12.7 boards per game and will be attending Folsom Lake College. Bridget Donlan from Union Mine will represent the girls South Small Schools after a season where she averaged 13.2 points and 2.2 steals per game. Donlan will be attending the University of California, Los Angeles. Sophie Olson of Oak Ridge was named to the Large Schools North team after being a key player for the Trojans in scoring, rebounding, passing and defense. Olson will be attending North Dakota State University.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone is entitled to their preferences. Your preference will be to tend exclusively to your own business, purposely ignoring those who try to impose their personal opinions on the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The whole story has yet to be revealed. Ask too many or the wrong kinds of questions and you may never know. But wait and watch. Then watch and wait. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself in the know. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In this building phase, it is only natural to prefer each move improve upon the last. But you will get stuck if you expect constant improvement. The ups, downs, hits and misses are all essential to ultimate success. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You love a particular activity so much that it wouldn’t matter if you were to fail at it or even if you would be embarrassed by that failure. Nor would success matter too much. The payoff is the work itself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Trust that everything you’ve learned is worth learning. What felt like a detour (and a costly one at that) still has plenty of applications, though you’ll strain yourself if you force it. Resolve to have no regrets and move forward in faith. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today’s conversations have the potential to get chaotic. Your deft steering away from the minefields will help matters. When in doubt, stick to the main roads and rely on tone to trump content.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What can you eliminate? This is what will make your life better today, and it will beat any reorganization or new rule you institute. The best part is how quick and elegant the move can be. Sell it, give it, toss it, drop it -- it’s done. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re clicking together, the world and you. The world is listening. The world gets you. All you have to do is open your eyes wide, and the world will take this as a cue to educate you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe all these signs don’t mean you’re on the wrong path. Consider that the answer is out there; you just haven’t tried enough things to find it yet. Widen the search. Turn over more rocks. Ask more people. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you really prefer change to have a ramp-up and adaptation period, life doesn’t often accommodate such a preference. The good thing about an unexpected shock is that it forces you to seek out something better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What are you looking forward to? What are you dreading? To do more of the former and avoid the latter would be a mistake. Nothing disempowers dread like diving right in and doing the thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Question why you need things to be a certain way. Sometimes particularness comes out of a desire to be treated as important or special, and other times the details must be correct to serve the greater good. Which is it?
The late Bryan Carnett was a race fan, driver, owner and sponsor at Placerville Speedway.
Carnett Clash to converge at Placerville Speedway Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway The Placerville Speedway is locked and loaded to wrap up the month of June this Saturday night with the annual running of the Bryan Carnett Clash, which begins five consecutive weekends of racing in Placerville. Carnett was a true fan of the stock car
divisions at Placerville Speedway while racing, owning and sponsoring both pure stocks and limited late models throughout the decade he spent at the track. Because of that and thanks to the support of several individuals and companies, extra money will be on the line for both the limited late models and pure stocks Saturday. Rounding out
the bill are the winged 360 sprint cars, dwarf cars and vintage hard tops. “Placerville Speedway has always been our home track and I am thrilled that Scott Russell and Kami Arnold were willing to host the Carnett Clash once again,” said Forryst Carnett, son of the late n

Placerville’s Andy Gregg, Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick and Placerville’s Shane Hopkins comprise the top five. This Saturday’s outing begins a busy stretch over the next couple months for the winged sprinters. 275119 The action-packed event also welcomes in the popular Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association and vintage hard tops. Both divisions routinely put on a solid show. The pit gate will open at noon this Saturday, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on the track at 5.

Bryan Carnett. “I am hoping we can build upon the success we’ve had in previous years and have another exciting night of racing, which is the best way to remember the competitive spirit of my dad. I am incredibly grateful to Placerville Speedway, all of our friends at the track and my family who all work hard to make this night a reality.” Going into the Carnett Clash, it’s a dogfight atop the limited late model standings, with the top three separated by only 12-points. Auburn’s Ray Trimble has a pair of wins and leads fellow two-time victor this year Tyler Lightfoot by sevenmarkers. Diamond Springs gasser Dan Jinkerson ranks third and will look to close the gap this weekend. Orangevale’s Tom Tilford and Vacaville’s Paul Gugliomni round out the top five. On the pure stock side of things Oakley’s Nick Baldwin has been a dominant force thus far, accumulating four wins in the eight events held. Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson has also captured a pair of wins and like Baldwin, has finished among the top five at each race. He heads into Saturday 16-points back of Baldwin for the top spot. Placerville’s Jonny Walsh, Cameron Park’s Stephanie Hanson and Dan Jinkerson make up the top five. Sebastopol’s Joel Myers Jr. brings a 28-point lead over Auburn’s Andy Forsberg into the eighth race of the season for the winged 360 sprint cars.

Hannaman joins El Dorado Hills CSD board Sel Richard Staff writer She may not have been born here, but Heidi Hannaman was certainly raised in El Dorado Hills, having moved to the Crown Village neighborhood prior to entering the third grade at Jackson Elementary School. Her sunny smile is ready evidence of her delight in being appointed as Allan Priest’s replacement on the El Dorado Hills Community Services District board — a seat vacated due to Priest’s relocation to Placerville. “I definitely feel a huge responsibility being someone who has grown up here,” said Hannaman, who said she is personally invested in the impact of the board’s decisions on her community. “When I go home at night Mountain Democrat photo by Sel Richard I’ve got to talk to my mom and dad who have lived Heidi Hannaman has been selected to serve on the EDHCSD here for 35 years.” Board of Directors, filling a seat previously held by Allan Priest.

Hannaman left the area to study political science and communications at California State University, Chico, where she met her husband Brandon. Yet, the pull was undeniable. Soon they were back, buying their first home in her childhood village before building in Waterford. “We all know this place is unique,” she said. “It’s a small town feel, but it has so many great amenities thanks to the CSD. Our family really loves it here.” With 22 years serving at the state capital, Hannaman currently works as senior political analyst for Sen. Andreas Borgeas after a stint in the private sector lobbying for Walgreens. And many will remember her years as Assemblyman Kevin Kiley’s field representative, a role she said gave her valuable insight into local government. Hannaman admits to only recently considering n

public office, the idea nudged into her head upon Priest’s announcement of retirement. “There’s a lot happening in our community, a lot of exciting challenges ahead,” she said. “I am really excited to immerse myself in the issues that matter to the residents of El Dorado Hills. “With the growth we’re experiencing, it’s a good time to be there as the CSD navigates what the future of El Dorado Hills is going to look like,” she continued. “I think I’m in a unique position to help bring some historical perspective while being aware that we have to grow and change with the times and accommodate all the new people who love El Dorado Hills as much as the old people do.” The defunct executive golf course is an issue at the top of her list and Hannaman said she has not given up on the possibility of further negotiations. “There’s always a chance for us to be at the table,” she asserted. “Through contacts from my previous roles, I can hopefully help be a good communicator between the parties.” A former TAZ swimmer, Hannaman has a long history with CSD family activities.

as a junior and a son as a senior at Oak Ridge this fall, her family has participated in flag football, basketball, swimming and more. Senior and multigenerational facilities are priorities for her as well, but most importantly Hannaman said she would like the board’s efforts to reflect community desires. “Public input has to be at the forefront of the CSD’s decision process,” she insisted. “My goal is simple — to carry out the wishes of our residents.” Board President Noelle Mattock cited Hannaman’s experience with the district as one reason for endorsing the appointment. “She has worked side by side with the CSD to develop and get a park built,” Mattock said. “Given her background, I think she has a unique understanding of what it takes to be a board member.” “I love our rolling hills; I love our parks; I love that we’re a little bit removed from the city. I feel lucky to be part of it,” Hannaman said, adding that she does intend to run in two years to keep her seat. “I want to give back to a place that has given me so much. I’m just super grateful and thankful to have this chance.”

After Anthony was released from jail he and Heather married in February 2019. On July 15, 2019, with his felony domestic violence charges still pending, Anthony broke Heather’s collarbone. Prosecutors say she didn’t call 911 but instead texted her mother while in the hospital that Anthony “tried to kill me” by strangling her multiple times until she almost passed out. She was released from the hospital that same night and returned to their Pleasant Valley home on Leisure Lane with her arm in a sling. The following morning Anthony and Heather argued in front of her mother about how Heather’s broken collarbone would look to the District Attorney in Gumina’s pending case. Prosecuters say when her mother left, Anthony killed Heather. Trying to cover up his tracks, Anthony then called Heather’s mother and told her Heather left and was missing. Friends and family, law
enforcement and the community searched high and low for Heather for weeks. Her car was located Aug. 9 at an undisclosed location — but no sign of Heather. In September 2019 Heather’s body was found buried several feet deep in the dirt on “a nearby property,” according to the District Attorney’s Office. Heather’s body was reportedly found wrapped in a carpet with a noose around her neck, still wearing her hospital ID bracelet, smock and sling. Anthony’s guilty plea comes a little more than a week after 40-year-old South Lake Tahoe resident Justin Kremer was arrested in connection with the killing. Kremer will have his first court appearance June 29 in Department 7 at 8 a.m. Anthony John Gumina is scheduled to be sentenced to 30 years to life Sept. 3. Lead deputy district attorney Lisette Suder prosecuted the case for the people.

WHAT MATTERS IN THE MORNING
A
rts and Culture El Dorado recently announced that Lara Gularte will serve as El Dorado County’s poet laureate, 202123. This post, officially appointed by a conferring institution, is bestowed on a noted poet to honor his or her body of work and to celebrate poetry as an art form. Over the course of her two-year term Gularte will follow the Laureate Trail, a series of free poetry readings held at each of the El Dorado County public libraries. She will compose “occasional poems” to commemorate special public events and participate as a judge for Poetry Out Loud, Arts and Culture El Dorado’s annual poetry recitation competition for high school students. In addition, she will develop her own special Poetry Project — in this case, a series of community narratives that celebrate the expression of our common humanity through poetry. “Poetry speaks to our universal values. As poet laureate of El Dorado County, I will promote an environment of respect

when light fills my window, and overflows the sun across my bed, I watch the mountains move closer, coming home with the daylight. A monarch flutters into the garden, rests on a hollyhock, peacefully opens its wings. I see something shimmer between the corn rows.

and connection among the people in our communities through the poetry of who we are and where we live,” said Gularte. “I believe when you inhabit a place there is a sense of continuity between past, present and future — and a relationship with the lives that live there. Poetry helps us see our world in a wider view and can be the catalyst that gathers us together to share our similarities and celebrate our differences. By telling our stories, telling the stories of the neighborhood, beyond the neighborhood, to something larger, we can honor our common humanity.” Gularte hosts the
popular Poetry of the Sierra Foothills monthly readings and is a member of the Red Fox Underground Poets, a longstanding local poetry writing group. Her book of poetry, “Kissing the Bee,” was published by The Bitter Oleander Press in 2018. Her forthcoming book, “Fourth World Woman,” published by Finishing Line Press, will be available January 2022. Nominated for several Pushcart Prizes, she was a second-prize poetry winner for Empirical Magazine’s Poetry Contest. Published in national and international journals and anthologies, her poetry depicting her Azorean heritage is
The sun shines greenly on his hands as he listens to roots inch deeper into earth, watches baby spiders hatch, flex their legs. When he sees me at the window I hold my hand up to wave, he holds his, we are palm to palm.
included in the “The Gávea-Brown Book of Portuguese-American Poetry.” She is affiliated with the Cagarro Colloquium: Azorian Diaspora Writers, at the Portuguese Beyond Borders Institute, California State University, Fresno. In 2017 Gularte traveled to Cuba with a delegation of American poets and presented her
poetry at the Festival Internacional de Poesia de la Habana. She’s a proud member of the esteemed Escritores Del Nuevo Sol. Gularte is also a creative writing instructor for the California Transformative Arts program at Mule Creek prison. For more information visit ArtsAndCultureElDorado.org.

ilt & Cork has announced the first in a series of concerts to be held at the beautiful Saureel Vineyards, 1140 Cold Springs Road in Placerville. Headlining the inaugural event on June 26 is the Golden Cadillacs, a band that features members from bands such as Jackie Greene, Dead Winter Carpenters, Tim Flannery, Jake Peavy and MerryGold. It has been said that the band’s harmony is a result of the members’ lifelong friendships.

See the Golden Cadillacs this Saturday at Saureel Vineyards. The local favorite, plus MerryGold, plays the first summer concert at the Placerville vineyard. Attendees should bring their own lawn chairs and small coolers with picnic items. Absolutely no glass is allowed in the venue. Small shade structures or umbrellas are encouraged as well, but
no pop-up EZ up style tents. Kids are OK but no dogs are permitted on the property as it is a working horse ranch. Food, beer wine and cocktails will be available for purchase. The event is from 5-9
p.m. “I just want to share this beautiful place with my community,” said venue owner Tim Sauer, from which the vineyard get’s its name. “This property is not just amazing ... it is
Saureel,” he continued, pronouncing Saureel like surreal. Saureel Vineyards is a working horse ranch and vineyard. The harvest is sold so there is no tasting room or winemaking facility on the property. But Saureel envisions the property, which includes a beautifully appointed air B&B, as an events venue that can host weddings, fundraisers and concerts throughout the year. Its signature lake has the concert venue adjacent to it offering amazing views and memorable sunsets. “I love partnering with Tim, as he is as enthusiastic about music as I am and we want to showcase the best entertainment possible at this venue,” said event producer Russ Reyes from Kilt & Cork. “The event and entertainment industry n

Story: “Adventures in Meditation” Compiled by: Amy Newmark Publisher: Chicken Soup for the Soul, 2021 Available: Bookstores and online
P
eople who live in cities often dream of moving to the peace and quiet of the country. They should check it out first. A quick introduction to the reality of rural living is a short, amusing read in the recent “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, titled “Making ‘Me Time.’” In the chapter called “Personal Space,” Phyllis Abate Wild describes her frustrations when she tried to settle down for a quiet period of meditation in a piece called “Adventures in Meditation.” Wild’s home is on 10 acres in El Dorado County — no police sirens, no ambulances, no garbage trucks picking up in the neighborhood. Perfect for a little self-renewal. But, no. Her distractions and her efforts to overcome them are so relatable whether you live on a farm or in an apartment. Yes, there are distractions noticeable only in the
Roberta Long Democrat correspondent country, but as Wild found out, if you can’t take it with you when you die, you can’t leave it when you move. Wild earned a degree in journalism at San Francisco State University, where she was a star student. But instead of pursuing a career as an ace reporter, Wild chose to freelance while she engaged in a number of other careers, including teaching. Currently, Wild is serving as administrator of the nonprofit Friendly Visitors of El Dorado County. The program provides free companionship and activities to adults 55 years and older who because of physical or mental disabilities are socially isolated. A dedicated corps of volunteers provides direct services, with support from a program manager and a licensed clinical
therapist. A similar program in the county had been defunded. Wild took it upon herself to reinstate it. She developed the organization, advocated and applied for funding through the Mental Health Services Act. Wild said she believes her array of life experiences provides a treasure of material for storytelling. Her submission to “Chicken Soup for the Soul” was a first step in carving time to create more

ACKSON — Main Street Theatre Works is back this summer at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre in Jackson for “theater under the stars.” MSTW has kicked off its 18th summer season at the amphitheater with the hilarious “Kong’s Night Out,” written by Jack Neary and directed by Allen Pontes. The show runs Fridays and Saturdays through July 17. This is the story of what happened in the hotel room next to the hotel room where Ann (played by Fay Wray in the 1933 movie) was whisked out into the Manhattan night by King Kong. As low-end Broadway producer Myron Siegel (Scott Adams) is getting ready to open his latest production, “Foxy Felicia,” he finds out that his rival, Carl Denham (Vincent Keene), is

As the story unfolds, doors fly open and slam shut, as well as mistaken identities, pies in the face, deceit, underhandedness and even a couple of romances. It’s a comic look at a classic story, as depicted
in the 1933 movie. The show also stars Julie Anchor, Paul Fearn, Fallon Jones, Jason Kaye, Brandon Rapoza, Tara Reynolds and Kaitlin Richards. Main Street Theatre Works is a professionally oriented theater company, performing in the heart of Amador County. Now entering

stories for publication. It fits the theme of this book, which is to “put self-care at the top of your to-do list.” She has joined a local group of writers who concentrate on creating stories from their memoirs. If, after reading Wild’s “Adventures in Meditation,” you wonder whether she ever meditates, she answers, “Yes, I meditate every morning. It centers me.” It’s part of “Making Me Time.”

Shrek brings his humor, magic to virtual audience News release
D
avis Musical Theatre Company’s Young Performers’ Theater presents the family-fun fairytale adventure, “Shrek the Musical, Jr.,” June 25-27, at the Showtix4U virtual platform. Once upon a time, in a far-away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way. It’s a “big, bright, beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre leads
a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, the show is an irreverently fun adventure with a powerful message for the whole family. Morgan Bartoe is the director and choreographer with Cheryl Barker, musical direction. Young performers featured include Django Nachmanoff as Shrek, Chloe Aldrete as Princess Fiona, Matthew Vallero as Donkey and Henry Krug-Lee as Lord Farquaad. This is DMTC’s Young Performers last virtual production. Join Shrek and his friends on a journey through make-believe. “Shrek the Musical, Jr.” plays at 7 p.m. Friday, June 25; 2 & 7 p.m. Saturday, June 26; and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 27. All performances are on the Showtix4U platform. Tickets are available at dmtc.org.

It is, in parts. The 1980s NASCAR flashback with a couple main characters in their youth is a neat switch for this franchise. I would have actually enjoyed it if the film stayed in that time period a bit longer. The film drags significantly in the mid-section as it catches up with old characters, re-introduces long-thought dead ones and randomly introduces others. If you are going to dare to be absurd let’s get to the good stuff! Truth be told the second half is much better than the first, where it begins to drag after the opening sequences.

The setting for the amphitheater is truly spectacular. Located on the Kennedy Mine property, patrons walk past an old tailing wheel (used when the mine was in operation), across an old bridge, into a grass-covered, terraced bowl, surrounded by majestic oaks. There the stage is set for picnicking and enjoying professional quality productions. Theater-goers are truly sitting on a gold mine, enjoying theater under the stars. MSTW will be limiting seating, which means all tickets must be purchased in advance, for a specific
Buttered
show, from the website (MSTW.org). Masks are required at check in and when moving about the amphitheater, but can be removed once seated. Patrons are asked to leave two ice chests between their pod and their neighbors. Performances are Friday and Saturday nights, with gates opening at 6:30 p.m. for picnicking, show starting at 8. Patrons are encouraged to come early with picnics, chairs and jackets. The Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre is located at 1127 N. Main St. in Jackson.

Fiero in space I laughed. Did they mean for me to laugh? There is intentional comedy there to be sure, but I don’t know if the creators intend to take us out of the movie because we are laughing at it every other scene. I thought a lot about the “Mission: Impossible” films while watching “F9,” specifically 2000’s “Mission: Impossible II,” which came out one year before the original “The Fast and the Furious.” That film was also an expensive, flashy action film and it was easily the worst of the franchise.

Cruise and company have worked hard to up the ante and make a better film with each subsequent sequel. If the “Fast” franchise is going to continue (it is), then they should take notes. “F9” is a mildly entertaining piece of popcorn but brings nothing new to a franchise that is starting to run out of gas.

Looking for a feline friend?
Tips for Adopt a Shelter Cat Month News release Cats star in some of the most viral videos on the internet and some even grow to celebrity status on Instagram with millions of followers (looking at you, Nala Cat). Yet some of the coolest cats remain undiscovered at shelters and rescues across the country. Since cats are also the most at-risk pets across America, accounting for 69% of animals killed in shelters, it’s crucial to find them loving homes. Adopt a Shelter Cat Month takes place every June to highlight the immense need for cat adoptions and why a shelter is the best place to find your next feline friend. “By adopting a cat, you’re not only saving that particular cat, but you also make space for the next cat coming into a shelter,” said Samantha Bell, cat expert at Best Friends Animal Society. “Adoption is also very cost-effective, as cats are usually fixed, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go home with you for one low fee.” According to Bell, cats make great pets for just about anyone. “Whether you are hardly ever home or you are a total couch potato, there’s a ‘purrfect’ cat waiting for you at a shelter or rescue,” she said. Bell offers the following tips on how to pick the right cat or kitten for your lifestyle: • Busy? There are cats for that: Shelters and rescues often have

Do you have room in your home and heart for a new feline friend? Many cats are in need of good homes and lots of love. two adult cats who have grown up together and would be happy to go home together. It’s heartwarming to see a pair of cats who are already friends get to stay together. And while you’re away, they’ll have each other for company and security. • Extroverts need love, too: If you are home quite often, then you’ll have more time to play with an active kitty who needs lots of wand toy play time. Some cats can even be trained to walk on a leash or go for stroller rides. • Consider a solo artist: There are many cats who are great with
people but terrified of other cats. They don’t always make a great first impression on potential adopters, especially if they’re in a shelter surrounded by other cats. But once they’re in a home with you, they’ll flourish. • Involve the whole family: It’s important to take everyone in the home, especially children, to meet all prospective cats so you can observe how they interact with the cat. Every child has their own unique energy and every pet reacts differently to every child. • Keep an open mind:

Don’t get hung up on color, sex or age. Not all cats’ personalities fit into stereotypes. Every cat is an individual, so don’t discount a cat because they aren’t male or female or orange or fluffy. By doing so, you’ll have the best odds of finding a great match. Still not certain? Give your local shelter team an opportunity to play matchmaker. “Talk to the staff and volunteers at the shelter about your lifestyle. Let them know if you live with others, including any pets, as well as who/what you come in contact with on a regular basis and let
them guide you to the cats that they think would mesh well with your life,” Bell said. With kitten season in full swing, many people will be tempted to adopt one (and let’s be honest, it’s hard not to succumb to that level of cuteness). But as Bell noted, kittens require an extra level of care. “Kittens are adorable but be aware that they are more work than an adult cat. Kittens need to be fed more often and use the litter box much more often,” she said. “Single kittens need lots of positive reinforcement training so that they don’t
end up being bitey or scratchy adults.” That is why Best Friends encourages adopters to open their home to a pair of kittens, if possible. “All cats have to bite and scratch; it’s feline instinct,” she said. “A pair of kittens learns that biting and scratching is something they should do to each other during playtime and not to their humans.” To find your new best feline friend visit bestfriends.org, where you’ll find more than 3,300 network partners of shelters and rescues across the country.
