The 2022 El Dorado County Fair broke records in attendance, the livestock auction and more as 73,000 people made their way through the gates for a weekend of fun.

record 73,000 people enjoyed rides, food, music and more at the 2022 El Dorado County Fair. “It’s a record-breaker,” said El Dorado County Fair CEO Kathy Dunkak. “I think it’s mostly because people didn’t have a fair for two years and the other was the weather was amazing.” The previous record of 67,000 was set in 2019 when the last fair was hosted. Attendance records go back to 2002. Saturday, June 18, saw 22,500 attendees. Friday, June 17, and Sunday, June 19, were the most attended Friday and Sunday, while June 16 nearly broke the Thursday record but was about 200 attendees short, according to Dunkak who noted how much weather can indeed play a big role. In 2016 fair attendance was around 61,000. A 2017 heatwave, including a 105-degree Sunday, led to attendance dropping to 54,000 before heading back up to 63,000 in 2018. Records were also broken at the carnival as there were more riders and ticket sales than ever before. “The lines were crazy but everybody was smiling and having a good time,” Dunkak said. “The kids were stoked and that’s the best part.” Dunkak, who is in her first year as CEO, added that more money was bid at the Junior Livestock Auction than at previous fairs — $925,000. “The buyers came out and showed those kids love,” Dunkak said. All of these records were set while smaller than normal staff held down operations. Dunkak noted that normally there are 125-130 people on the n

El Dorado County Medic 49, currently housed at the Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District Station 49, will temporarily go out of service July 1. The fire protection district’s board of directors will decide whether to put it to rest permanently in a meeting July 12.

shortage of emergency personnel. One reason is because of COVID-19 pandemic shut downs, he said. “A lot of paramedic schools were shut down or it was made very difficult to complete their contact hours and that made it difficult for people to complete the training,” Veerkamp said. Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District Chief Matt Gallagher said firefighting personnel are moving to fire departments outside the county, where ambulance work is not required and/or where they can earn more money. Gallagher also said staff are moving to departments where they can earn more money. The district lost five people in the last few months and three more are leaving by the end of June, Gallagher told the Mountain Democrat. “We’re just having a hard time with staffing and retaining,” Gallagher said. “We are losing people and not getting qualified applicants to fill the positions, so we’re constantly running low on people.” Gallagher said the district has lost three

The Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District Board of Directors will consider putting one ambulance out of service at its July 12 meeting. Fire officials say Station 49, currently housing Medic 49, is unable to properly staff the ambulance. The board previously voted to temporarily put the ambulance out of service beginning July 1 until more personnel could be hired. The board deadlocked on a vote June 14 to permanently put Medic 49 out of service. A vacancy on the board will be filled July 12 to prevent another tie vote. The shortage of emergency services personnel is not exclusive to the county, according to county fire authorities. Brian Veerkamp, executive director of the El Dorado County Emergency Services Authority (West Slope Joint Powers Authority), which manages the entire ambulance system on the West Slope, said the nation is currently facing a

fuels along roads and remove bark beetle killed trees. The grants are part of a nearly $118 million Cal Fire grant package, which will fund 144 wildfire prevention projects across California, according to a press release from Cal Fire. The fire safe council will receive more than $2 million for a south county fuel reduction project to create four shaded fuel breaks on 447 acres and hazardous fuel reduction along nearly 33 miles of priority county roads — portions of Outingdale, Fairplay, Omo Ranch, Mt. Aukum, Pleasant Valley, Oak Hill and Big Oak roads and a portion of Fowler Lane.

The project is designed to increase wildfire resiliency, improve access for first responders during a wildfire, improve emergency egress for more than 27,000 residents and reduce roadway-related wildfire ignitions, the press release states. The treatment zone encompasses 845 acres, where 4,813 residences at or in the vicinity of the project are expected to benefit. Communities within the project area include Diamond Springs, Omo Ranch and Outingdale. More than $1.2 million was awarded for dead and dying tree removal to slow the bark beetle infestation that has killed thousands

of trees in the county since 2015. Cal Fire officials state the beetles are reproducing and spreading to more trees. The trees threaten public safety as they could fall on structures, access roads and electrical lines, as well as fuel a fire. “(Bark beetle infestation) is a large issue that affects the Central Sierra and now the Northern Sierra,” said Ken Pimlott, chair of the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council. “There is a broader issue of the drought that has created this disposition with these trees.” During a voluntary enrollment period, residents can apply to have hazard trees removed within 150

Ariel Rakel Luna

March 7, 1990 – June 9, 2022

With her family by her side, Ariel Rakel Luna passed away June 9 in Phoenix, Ariz., at 32 years old. Ariel was a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend who will be remembered for her compassionate heart, abundant generosity, silly sense of humor and boundless love for animals. Born on March 7, 1990, Ariel grew up in Placerville, Calif., as the youngest in her family. She was a happy and expressive child, despite being non-verbal for the first several years of her life. With the support of her family and programs, including PRIDE and Joy in Placerville and the Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center in Sacramento, Ariel was able to develop her cognitive and social skills. She graduated from Edwin Markham Middle School in 2005 and El Dorado High School in 2009. From there, she completed the Job Corps trade school program in Sacramento, worked in various retail positions and eventually started and grew her own pet care business in Yuma, Ariz. Ariel found great joy in traveling to various states, dipping her toes in the ocean, listening to music and making picture collages. She was known for her carefully crafted birthday cards and letters to her loved ones, as well as handmade birthday posters for the animals at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, Ariz. As a frequent visitor to the wildlife park, she had an expansive knowledge of the animals there and delighted in sharing that information with any and all park visitors. Ariel is survived by her parents Richard Luna (Carolyn Bramson) and Shane Taber and her siblings Diego Luna, Olivia Luna (Regina Buenaobra) and Kira Luna. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Arthur and Mary Louise Taber and Teresa and Urbano Luna; her aunt Elizabeth Holly and many beloved pets, including cats Houdini, Puffball, Sunny and Torashima. Ariel’s last act of love was being an organ donor; our Hero gave extended life to three Arizona women. A celebration of life will be held at the Olde Vets Hall in Dixon, Calif., beginning at 11 a.m. July 9. Interment will be private in Dixon’s Silveyville Cemetery.

David Mark Hay

June 4, 1945 – June 15, 2022

David Mark Hay passed away peacefully with family by his side June 15 at the age of 77. David, the son of Cecil and Aloyse Hay and big brother to three sisters, was born on June 4, 1945. David grew up in Bangor, Mich., where he spent his days playing sandlot baseball with friends and his nights racing cars, claiming to have never been beat. After serving a tour of duty as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam, David’s hippie soul and cowboy spirit took him to California where he enjoyed a beach and mountain lifestyle with a dedicated group of wild and crazy friends. David met and married his wife and life-long partner Linda Callahan in the Lake Tahoe area. Together, David and Linda settled in Cameron Park to raise a happy and loving family, with two kids Jacob and Jessica. In Cameron Park, David spent many seasons coaching youth sports and sharing his love of skiing with his kids and their friends. He also worked proudly for 25 years as a building inspector for the city of Sacramento, supporting his kids through college and providing them opportunities he never had himself. In retirement, David lived in Sacramento, and eventually Bellingham with his wife and daughter. He was a natural as a grandfather who always kept the family laughing and happy with his humor, stories and relentlessly positive energy. An unapologetic liberal, David shared the values of compassion and acceptance with anyone who would listen. David is survived by his three sisters Betty, Ellen and Nancy, his wife of 44 years Linda; son Jacob; daughter-in-law Stacey; daughter Jessica; grandchildren Trevor, Hillary and Harrison; dog Sam and cat Izzy all of whom love and miss him very much. “Lately it occurs to me, what a long strange trip it’s been.” — Grateful Dead, Truckin’ Just keep truckin’ on, dad.

Arrest made in Friday stabbing Mountain Democrat staff A woman accused in a stabbing Friday night at the Missouri Flat Village shopping center in Placerville is held at the El Dorado County Jail on $300,000 bail. Sgt. Eric Palmberg with the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office told the Mountain Democrat that witnesses reported seeing three subjects with knives near the Safeway grocery store. The three were reportedly involved in a verbal argument that escalated to a stabbing. Placerville resident Marissa Killsback, 29, was taken into custody and her alleged victim transported to UC Davis Medical Center with an abdominal wound. Details of the victim’s identity or current medical condition were not available, according to Palmberg. In January 2021 the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office listed Killsback as wanted by local law enforcement on an outstanding felony no bail warrant related to charges of resisting an officer, vandalism and failing to appear in court after being released on her own recognizance. At that time she was listed as a transient, according to the DA’s Office.

payroll the week of the fair. This year there were 97. She said there was a lot of turnover due to COVID-19 and that many people in key roles were working their first fair. “That was a challenge but they shined and they killed it. They did a great job,” Dunkak added. Another challenge was the number of food vendors. Dunkak said some vendors went out of business since the last fair took place, leading to longer lines and vendors having to restock more and sometimes not being able to serve everything on their menus. For alcohol sales the fairgrounds took the list from what sold in 2019 and added 10% to it. “We still had to make stops every day to get more,” Dunkak said. With parking at the fairgrounds limited, the El Dorado County Transit Authority offered a free shuttle service for the 30th year. The fair shuttle is funded by a grant from the El Dorado County Air Quality Management District and with support from the El Dorado County Fair Association. More than 10,000 people took advantage of the shuttle — another record, according to Dunkak.

Free fishing day coming up California Department of Fish and Wildlife The first of California’s two free fishing days in 2022 is coming up over the Independence Day holiday weekend. On free fishing days — which land on Saturday, July 2, and Saturday, Sept. 3, — the public can fish throughout the Golden State without a fishing license. For those new to fishing, this is an opportunity to explore a rewarding and exciting new hobby. For licensed anglers, this is an opportunity to introduce or reintroduce someone else to the benefits of becoming an angler. Free fishing days are also a time for people who used to fish to come back and reconnect to the activity. Only basic fishing equipment and knowledge is needed to get started fishing. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife offers introductory fishing videos: Tackle box basics: Learn about the different types of tackle and how to match the “when, where and what species” of various

Ambulance

types of tackle in an online video at bit.ly/ tackleboxbasics. How to become a California angler: Hear about California’s diverse fish species and where and how to find them at bit.ly/ anglerlessons. A beginner’s guide to trout fishing: Gain an understanding of cold freshwater trout fishing, including differentiating species, spawning patterns and best catch techniques for California waters at bit.ly/troutspecies. CDFW’s online fishing guide at apps. wildlife.ca.gov/fishing is a resource for all anglers. Look for a new body of water to fish, review recent planting locations or even refresh knowledge of fishing regulations. This tool can be accessed from a mobile phone while fishing. All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect on free fishing days. Anglers must have the appropriate report card when fishing for

steelhead or sturgeon anywhere in the state, and salmon in the Smith and KlamathTrinity rivers. Anglers can review regulations at wildlife.ca.gov/ regulations. “California anglers are incredibly fortunate to have such a wide variety of fish species and fishing opportunities to choose from on July 2,” said CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham. “We ask anglers to pick their fishing destinations carefully given the drought conditions impacting our waters. Please try and avoid waters visibly suffering from the impacts of drought. Specifically, where warm and low water levels may be stressing fish populations.” Anglers planning to fish inland waters through catch and release can help reduce fish stress levels and

increase survival rates by voluntarily adopting the following practices: Assess the water for extreme drought conditions before committing to fish there. Fish before the day heats up. Handle fish as little as possible. Keep fish in the water when removing hooks. For those who get “hooked” on fishing during free fishing day, annual resident sport fishing licenses can be purchased online at bit.ly/residentlicense. The revenue generated from license sales helps conserve fish populations and habitats while supporting California’s longstanding angling opportunities. An annual resident sport fishing license in California currently costs $54, while a oneday fishing license costs $17.54.

taking the premium job that might pay more. “Some individuals have gone to these fire district providers in other areas that pay more, like the Bay Area.” West Slope Joint Powers Authority board member and Georgetown Fire Department Chief Glenn Brown weighed in on the matter at a town hall June 18, commenting on the possibility of moving Medic 61 from Georgetown’s Station 61 to Station 74 in Lotus either 10, 12 or 24 hours a day. The West Slope Joint Powers Authority unanimously voted to keep it in Georgetown, but to monitor service after Medic 49 goes out of service temporarily July 1. “It is getting increasingly difficult for all ambulance agencies, fire department and private, to find, hire and keep paramedics,” Brown said. “It is getting so bad, there are ambulance companies in Southern California offering $30,000 sign-on bonuses.” According to Brown, response criteria for Georgetown per square mile includes 11 minutes for urban areas with a population of 1,000, 16 minutes for semi-rural areas for populations of 100 to 999 and 24 minutes for rural areas with a 10 to 99 population. Response times for wilderness areas have to hit at least 90 minutes. These response times have to be achieved 90% of the time, which Brown said the department has been successful in accomplishing. The Georgetown Fire Department has one of the largest response areas of any agency in the county, going all the way to Loon Lake and even running calls as far as Placerville and Pollock Pines, according to Brown.

roads in Coloma and Lotus, an area that hosts more than 400,000 visitors in the historical and recreation area. Pimlott said the fuel break projects in South County and Coloma/Lotus could start as early as summer or early fall.

“This tells me the system is working,” Brown said. The system is on a leveling system from 8 to 1, with 8 being the highest number of ambulance services not on call. “Right now at level 8 through 6 the ambulance stays in Georgetown,” Brown explained. “It doesn’t move to Lotus until level 5. It moves when it’s supposed to move. When the system is busy, we move. If the system is busier, we’re just going to move more often. Right now it’ll stay in Georgetown and I think it’s going to move when it’s supposed to after July 1, keeping us in compliance.” At night the ambulance doesn’t move until level 2. Brown said if the medic unit is taken to Station 74 until an eighth unit can operate, the department would no longer meet the required response times for Volcanoville, Quintette, areas in Georgetown and some in Garden Valley. “I’m not telling you we shouldn’t move to Station 74. I think we should, when the system management plan that we’ve created and worked on shows that we should,” Brown said at the town hall. “If the system falls apart on day two or three after July 1, we are going to have an emergency meeting and have a conversation,” he continued. As of press time, Brown said there was no data suggesting moving the ambulance service to Lotus. “I actually believe the data says we should be moving less often than we are but we certainly shouldn’t be moving more often,” Brown said. “Because there’s fewer ambulances, instead of starting at level 8, we’re starting at level 7, we believe we’re going to move more often. It’s going to drop down to a level 5 or 3 more often

Sierra Pacific Industries closing public access News release Due to the extreme drought conditions and increasing risk of wildfire, Sierra Pacific Industries will close its California forestlands to public access. This closure begins Friday, July 1, and will remain in effect until further notice. “Despite some of the late spring rains, California is experiencing the driest conditions it has had in 1,200 years,” states SPI spokesperson Andrea Howell in a news release. “To help protect our forest resources and public safety, Sierra Pacific is closing our California lands to public access and recreation.” The public’s use of SPI roads and walk-in access to the company’s privately-owned lands will not be allowed. SPI will regularly evaluate the situation; however, it is anticipated the closure will remain in effect into fall 2022. To learn more about the company’s recreation access policies visit spi-ind. com/OurForests/RecreationAccess.

people every year for the past five years. The district has only one ambulance with four personnel currently operating it over two shifts. After more staff leaves at the end of the month it will be down to one person. “It gets to a point where it does get unsafe,” Gallagher said. “We’re the second busiest station in the county and (ambulance personnel) are working five days and it is wrecking them.” The West Slope Joint Powers Authority System Status Management Plan strategically positions ambulances in locations to aid in operational demands during various times of day. “There is talk of adjusting the System Status Management Plan to fill the void of Medic 49 if it does get browned out, but as of now it is just talk,” Veerkamp said. Two ambulances will still operate in the area and there should not be any delay in response times if Medic 49 goes out of service, Gallagher said. “The System Status Management Plan should work like it always has; it is just going to be the ambulances themselves,” Gallagher said. “The personnel are probably going to be busier and running more calls with one less ambulance.“ It takes six personnel to operate an ambulance. Two personnel operate per shift for a total of three rotating shifts through contracts with the West Slope Joint Powers Authority, according to Veerkamp. “I think (the shortage) is going to get worse before it gets better because all agencies across the state and nationally are facing the same thing,” Veerkamp said. “(Paramedics) coming out of school have an easy pick on where they want to go. They are

because there are less ambulances available. But when it drops to those levels we’re going to move and that’s what the system is designed to do.” The discussion will continue July 8 at the next West Slope Joint Powers Authority meeting.

Each toothpaste ingredient serves a different purpose. Abrasives help remove food, bacteria, and stains from teeth. Humectants are used to keep toothpaste from drying out. Thickeners give toothpaste the right consistency. Even detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate are used to create foam when brushing occurs. However, the most important ingredient in toothpaste and other oral hygiene products like mouthwash is fluoride. The bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars and starches that accumulate on teeth when we eat, releasing acids that damage tooth enamel and cause a range of oral hygiene issues. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, which helps fight acid damage. It can even reverse the early stages of

acid damage by re-mineralizing decaying teeth. Are you curious about the importance of fluoride in dental health care? Our approach to addressing our patients’ dental needs includes educating them on effectively avoiding future problems, thus promoting optimal oral hygiene. To this end, our mission is to provide open and free communication and the highest standard of personalized care in an environment of health, mutual understanding, and respect. P.S.

Film Tax, Manufacturing Tax Credit Bills Continue On Preston Young CalChamber CalChamber recently released its eighth semi-annual California Chamber of Commerce Poll and the results were clear: two-thirds of voters believe the country is headed down the wrong track, while a majority feel the same about California. While our state’s shortcomings grab all the attention, and deservedly so, there still are areas where California is quietly getting it right. Two CalChambersupported bills currently moving through the state Legislature show that our leaders want to assist some of California’s most important industries.

Film/TV Tax Credit

The first is SB 485, authored by Senator Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge). This bill would extend the film and television tax credit, authorizing the California Film Commission to allocate $330 million in tax credits each fiscal year from 2024–25 to 2029–30. California’s Film and Television Tax Credit Program contributed almost $21.9 billion in economic output over five years and supported more than 110,000 total jobs in the state, according to a study released by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC). The study findings show that for every tax credit dollar allocated, the state benefitted from at least $24.40 in economic output, $16.14 in gross domestic product (GDP), $8.60 in wages and $1.07 in state and local tax revenues. The program also returned to state

and local governments an estimated $961.5 million in tax revenue. SB 485 passed the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media Committee on June 15 and will be considered next by the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee.

Assembly and awaits action in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.

California’s problems abound. But some solutions do too.

R&D Credit

The second bill moving through the Legislature is AB 1951, whose primary author is Assemblymember Tim Grayson (D-Concord). The bill provides a sales and use tax exemption for the purchase of manufacturing, and research and development (R&D) equipment, expanding investment and production opportunities in California. AB 1951 will provide California manufacturers the opportunity to continue to lead and compete in a domestic and global economy that operates on razor-thin margins. Further, the bill will facilitate further innovation, production of wide-ranging goods, and provide high-quality jobs throughout California’s regionally diverse economies. AB 1951 is important to California because the state currently ranks among the highest in the nation in state and local sales tax rates. While the base state sales tax rate is 6%, when combined with local and district portions, the sales and use tax rate can reach up to 10.75%. AB 1951 sends an important message: California is serious about retaining and attracting high-quality jobs and production. Every California manufacturing job supports at lweast 2.5 other jobs. AB 1951 passed the

Chamber Champions:

UCAN Update Governor Newsom released his May Revision to his original state budget proposal released in January. The revised $300 billion budget proposal includes an historic $52 billion surplus due in large part of personal income taxes and capital gains taxes paid by California’s most wealthy residents. Approximately half of the surplus is dedicated to K-14 education per Prop 98 guarantees. Other expenditures include DMV fee “refunds” to vehicle owners, one-time expenditures in natural resources and transportation. In offering advice to the legislature, the Legislative Analyst’s Office has expressed concerns that with a recession looming on the horizon, the budget does not dedicate enough to reserves and sets the budget up for a fiscal cliff in 2023-24. The California Business Roundtable urges the legislature and Governor to dedicate more reserves to paying off the debt to the state’s unemployment insurance fund, as 2/3 of states have already done, thus avoiding unnecessary

fee increases on the state’s employers. CBRT also recommends more investment in transportation to support goods movement and infrastructure to increase the state’s water storage. Inflation pushes minimum wage increase to $15.50 On January 1 of this year, the $15 minimum wage took effect for employers with 26 or more employees. For employers of 25 or fewer employees, the $15 minimum wage is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2023. However…the original 2016 minimum wage law had an “inflation kicker.” Because the US CPI has exceeded the 7% threshold, the annual indexing must be implemented immediately and be effective on the following January 1 and…because that threshold was met, there is no longer a distinction based upon employer size. Therefore, California’s minimum wage is increasing to $15.50 per hour for every employee effective January 1, 2023.

Data Collection Collaboration

El Dorado County, the EDC Transportation Commission, EDC Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Corporation of EDC recently entered into an agreement to collaborate on funding for a Destination Operating System (DOS) which will build a framework to bring together data systems and sources to use in marketing, community development and sustainability efforts. The information gathered by the DOC will provide a valuable public service that will guide decision making and key performance indicators which will enhance tourism and industry, and/or local community events which encourage a sense of community to the people of EDC. Additionally, data collected will enhance operational and strategic decision making by removing the technical barriers to data-informed decision-making, allowing for greater expertise and insight to guide the tourism and visitor economy.

U.S. Supreme Court gives business a ‘tort wars’ win

“T

Lawyers who file such suits seek to expand opportunities Dan Walters for litigation, often in concert with other interests, such as unions and environmental activists. Business and employer groups and their insurers resist such expansion and occasionally propose ways to reduce exposure. The conflict plays out in the Legislature, in the courts and in ballot measures with countless billions of dollars at stake in outcomes. Earlier this year, a 44-year-long dispute over medical malpractice compensation was resolved in a compromise that averted a ballot Regarding the measure battle. perennial battles However, there are many other fronts in tort in the Legislature wars, including one that and other venues resulted in a recent U.S. over the rules Supreme Court ruling.

It enabled workers who had disputes with their employers to file class action lawsuits even if they had signed pre-employment agreements to submit such disputes to arbitration. Advocates said it was needed to protect workers’ rights and make up for the state labor department’s inability to keep up with disputes over wages and other working conditions. Business and employer groups said it gave greedy lawyers a license to demand big settlements of cases and earn big contingency fees. Ultimately, business interests spent millions of dollars to qualify a ballot measure that would gut PAGA. The initiative petitions have been submitted

Letters to the Editor Clean the brush EDITOR:

Confidential vote

EDITOR: have great concern about the anonymity of our vote. Our government has decided to have us vote by mail (for our safety). Our ballot is now in an envelope with our name and address on it. I have seen through the years as government has taken little bites from our freedom. Last election I came to the vote center to vote in person. They, at the vote center, would not allow me to put my ballot already filled out into the ballot box. The volunteers made me take a different ballot and destroyed my already filled out ballot. This raised even more concerns of government intrusion into our voting process. Was my ballot I received in the mail marked somehow to show it was me? At this time I’m sure the elections people don’t correlate envelope No. 1 with Ken Brooks and his ballot and envelope No. 2 with John Doe and envelope No. 3 with Sally Smith. However, it is an extremely simple step to take to correlate the two by machine. This information would be super valuable to people who make our laws. (Think about how important it is for lawmakers to gerrymander a state.) We already have a segment of the population that believes elections are rigged. It is only a matter of time until people like me join that crowd. Perhaps

it won’t happen in the near future; however, I see it coming. Correlating the ballot to the envelope will come in the form of a vote by the people for something else that is popular. If you want to see all the particulars of this popular proposal you will have to look it up on a hard-to-navigate webpage. Lawmakers are clever enough to know most people are too lazy to take the time to look something up on a difficult-tonavigate government website. This is precisely what the city of San Jose does to raise unpopular taxes. KEN BROOKS El Dorado Hills

Placerville Union Cemetery EDITOR: n early 2000 El Dorado County entered into an agreement with the Union Cemetery Board of Trustees to take over management and maintenance of this historical cemetery. All the trust funds were turned over to the county. The city of Placerville agreed to supply the water and the security for the historical cemetery. I visited the cemetery on Memorial Day and was shocked and saddened at the unacceptable conditions of the grounds. There were veterans there trying to mark the vets’ graves with flags and they were having difficulty finding graves because of the tall grass. The historical cemetery has become a fire hazard; residents living in the surrounding area, you should be aware. Is anyone in charge of enforcing the control of the grounds — tall grass, trash, etc. — at the city level? The county and the city should be ashamed of the way this historical cemetery is being maintained. If you have a loved one in that cemetery and you have been there recently, you know what I am talking about. You need to maintain the graves yourself — because the county is not maintaining the cemetery. JOEL W. ASHWORTH Placerville

through to the truth about the election — and speak out about it — included not just Barr but also his successor as attorney general Jeff Rosen, Rosen’s deputy Richard Donoghue, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, campaign aides Matt Morgan and Alex Cannon, White House lawyers Pat Cipollone, Eric Herschmann and Derek Lyons, Trump campaign data expert Matt Oczkowski, Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short and attorney Greg Jacob — even staunch ally Kellyanne Conway and Trump’s own daughter and son-in-law. Who supported Trump’s version of facts? The now disbarred Rudy Giuliani and the cuckoo conspiracist Sydney Powell, whose own defense attorneys later said of her election-fraud claims, “No reasonable person would conclude that [her] statements were truly statements of fact.” Who would believe Powell’s claims? Those in Trump’s loyal base who’d been “pre-suaded” to believe them, then constantly reinforced in that belief by Trump himself. The attack on the Capitol was a clarifying moment, if fleetingly. Directly after it, none other than the two top Republicans in Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy and Senator Mitch McConnell, “told associates they believed President Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot and vowed to drive him from politics,” according to the New York Times. “I’ve had it with this guy,” McCarthy

told GOP leaders in what turned out to be a recorded conversation. In a later discussion, he said, “What [Trump] did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it.” The Times article also revealed that on Jan. 11, 2021, Mitch McConnell, speaking of Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6, told two longtime advisors, “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.” Perhaps most surprisingly, from the hearings we now also know that the day after the riot, even tireless Trump apologist Sean Hannity believed Trump’s impeachment might be imminent. “No more stolen election talk,” he texted Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. “Love that,” McEnany texted back. “Thank you. That is the playbook.” Only it turned out not to be. The Master Persuader continued to press his case, with those in his inner circle and beyond eventually falling back in line and parroting his claims — at least publicly. And still he repeats the core message, as recently as in a statement released after the second Jan. 6 hearing on June 13: “Democrats created the narrative of January 6th to detract from the much larger and more important truth that the 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen.” And so it goes. With the predictable result. To be candid, I actually have some

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). LiARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll review past moves to see what worked and didn’t. This is a different energy from the energy of regret. Don’t bother with regret. The past is a picture with a million framing options. Choose one you can live with and keep going. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Games are just problems in a fun format. You’ll turn a problem into a game with but a few tricks, including a playful attitude and the addition of novel criteria. You’ll land on a solution and secure an ally, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What’s being communicated is not the words that are said, rather it’s the message that is embodied and acted on. You can get clues about a person’s intention from conversation, but it’s the events that follow that reveal the truth. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Altruism involves giving what you have to give, not giving until the others are dependent on you or until you are in a precarious and needy position. You’ll set limits that serve the best interest of all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you extend a secret generosity, you won’t only be uncredited but you won’t be there to see how others react. Just know they’ll love it. It will delight them. To be generous is kind. To be generous anonymously is noble. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve known people to tell you what they want while being entirely unaware of what they need. Sometimes it takes an intuitive other to notice. It is more helpful to speak to needs than want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Kindred spirits will be drawn to the same thing. The only thing that can get in the way is people trying to be cool. Go the opposite way. You’ll find out more because you open up, start conversations and ask questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Trustworthy people are willing to earn your trust over time. They will not rush you or be pushy, nor will they lean on you emotionally. They will not take anything from you without a fair exchange. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t prioritize luxury as highly as some, but you’ll admire the ideas and craftsmanship that goes into a beautiful thing. It’s one thing to appreciate and quite another to buy, which will be a matter of deliberation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A disciplined investor tests the market before going all in, which is even more crucial in nonfinancial matters. You’ve much to invest of your heart, time, creativity and hopes. Choose two. If those pay, double down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone makes your responsibility feel more meaningful yet lighter. You need more of this energy in your life — either a bigger dose of this person or more people like this in your world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As you choose to see people as interesting, they will become more so. The fact that you have to do this consciously points to less than compelling environs. Make the most of it while considering travel.

he Mountain Democrat’s Newspapers in Education program (NIE) was established in 2002 to provide and educational service arm for the newspaper. NIE’s goal is to assist schools, teachers and parents in developing future readers who can use the newspaper to enrich their own lives and participate responsibly in their community, state and nation. Not only does the Mountain Democrat provide valuable information on a wide range of topics daily, it also can be used as a resource for teaching numerous skills to various age groups and in many different disciplines. It helps students connect classroom lessons to the real world around them and develop a positive and

relevant lifetime reading habit. A study released by the Newspaper Association of America Foundation shows data indicating students in NIE programs do 10 percent better on standardized tests and that significant increases in student performances occur, especially in middle schools. Donations from our sponsors allow our educators to order the newspaper for their classrooms free of charge. These sponsorships contribute to literacy and allow thousands of teachers and students in El Dorado County to learn from a living textbook, the Mountain Democrat, and develop a life-long reading habit that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Please show these sponsors your support for the program by patronizing their businesses.

Call 530-344-5048 to become a sponsor.

he Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills was recently honored as a ShelterBox HERO for its ongoing commitment to provide shelter and other aid to people displaced by conflict and disaster at the annual conference of Rotary Clubs for the greater Sacramento region. The club has helped ShelterBox support displaced families in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Haiti and other disaster sites. The award is an especially meaningful achievement since less than 10% of the 7,500 Rotary Clubs in the United States achieve ShelterBox HERO status. Right now, more that 113 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. ShelterBox, a global disaster relief charity, is working to change

this by providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by conflict and disaster. For more information about the organization visit shelterboxusa.org. Throughout the year EDH Rotary members contribute funding and raise awareness for ShelterBox USA at events like the annual Bowling for Boxes fundraiser for ShelterBox. Each year a local bowling alley provides the venue and bowlers take their lanes to have fun and raise money for a great cause. EDH Rotary is proud to have been recognized as Best Charitable Organization by Village Life readers in the El Dorado Hills community for its achievements in 2020 and 2021.

s summer temperatures climb, gardens are going to dry out rapidly. In addition to planting the correct plants for our climate, knowing your soil type and adjusting irrigation properly, what else can the gardener do to conserve moisture in the hot summer? Mulch the soil! Mulching is one of the most beneficial, yet simple, practices you can do for your garden. It consists of placing material on the soil surface around your plants, keeping the mulch a few inches away from the trunk or base of the plant. This will minimize the incidence of root rot from too much moisture. The addition of mulch not only improves soil structure, but it also makes a garden look tidy, prevents weed problems, saves moisture, reduces evaporation, slows

Sue McDavid UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County erosion and water runoff, moderates soil temperature, reduces soil surface compaction and encourages beneficial micro-organisms and earthworms. That’s a lot of benefit from just one action! Mulches are available in many different types, colors and textures and are either organic or inorganic. Organic mulches are derived from matter that was once living and they will continue to break down in your landscape, enriching the soil and enabling you to grow plants at a reduced cost that are healthier and

Organic mulches should be renewed annually and make sure you purchase only weed-free material because straw, hay and manure may contain weed seeds. With all the materials available, your specific needs and aesthetic desires should determine what you purchase and eventually apply in your landscape. Inorganic mulches are defined as any material not composed of, or derived from, a plant or animal and include rock, gravel, brick, plastic sheets and landscape cloth. Unfortunately, soil improvement is not an attribute of these mulches. Mulch helps conserve soil moisture and reduce evaporation. It also protects the soil from drying out due to wind. Mulch reduces run-off and erosion by slowing water movement and breaking up the impact of water drops. Materials that are smaller in size prevent more moisture loss than coarse materials. Organic mulches break down slowly, improving the soil and adding nutrients as they decompose. These nutrients are made available for plant roots

Students debut original works at special concert California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project. Through field trips, conversations and guest speakers, they learned about the history and culture of the Nisenan and their ongoing struggle to regain recognition from the federal government. “It was a powerful collaboration and an important current event that is happening right here in our community,” said Mark Vance, instructor and education director for InConcert Sierra. The students wrote for ensembles of duos and trios with titles such as “Steward of the Land,” “Waltz on Stolen Ground,” “Before the Gold Rush,” “Measured Loss,” “The Madness of Two Centuries” and “Forgetting a Beautiful Thing.” “The works are all different and yet impressive and engaging,” said Vance.

BBBS tourney raises record amount News release Big Brothers Big Sisters Northern Sierra raised nearly $120,000 for mentorship programs from the local nonprofit agency’s 10th annual Golf For Kids’ Sake fundraiser held in May. The money will go to benefiting at-risk youth throughout the Northern Sierra communities of El Dorado and Nevada counties, South Lake Tahoe and North Lake Tahoe areas, including the surrounding communities of Truckee, Kings Beach and the Tahoe City region. “This level of generosity is unprecedented for us,” said BBBSNS CEO Brenda Frachiseur. “Just when I think we can’t be any more fortunate with our business and community partners’ level of giving, we are blessed with even more support than we could have ever imagined for our kids and their families.” Golf For Kids’ Sake, held May 23 at the Serrano

Concert

Country Club in El Dorado Hills, featured the popular helicopter ball drop where participants purchased golf balls for a chance to win $5,000 or 15% of the pot and a hole-in-one contest. Golfers, sponsors and event attendees also participated in contests, raffles and a silent auction, which all helped to contribute to the event’s success. Proceeds from the tournament support 250 vulnerable children throughout the Northern Sierra region. These are children who have experienced divorce, loss of a parent by death or incarceration, homelessness and placement in foster care. Many need a positive role model, an adult friend who can help guide them through challenges, give them hope and help them achieve their highest potential. Every child deserves a champion. For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters Northern Sierra and its programs visit bbbsns.org.

“The students receive a valuable education that is celebrated by both students and parents alike.” “As parents, these completed compositions are how we get to experience our child’s creative, hard work, with the guidance of the incredible teacher, Mark Vance. Our son has been so inspired by CP that he now says he wants to be a musician and composer,” said one parent of a current composition student. The concert will be at Miners Foundry, 325 Spring St. in Nevada City. Shelley Covert, executive director at CHIRP and spokesperson/Tribal Council member for the Nevada City Rancheria

Nisenan Tribe, will open the concert in honor of the collaboration and of the compositional efforts of the young composers. InConcert Sierra is a Nevada County nonprofit organization that presents classical music stars from today’s international stage, as well as emerging young artists and local and regional professional musicians. Its Bach to the Future music education offerings provide immersive experiences for all ages. Founded in 1946, ICS is celebrating 75 years as an integral part of Nevada County’s arts community.

either by direct leaching or decomposition. The decomposition rate for most organic mulch is such that a slow, constant supply of nitrogen is delivered to the roots underneath. This decreases the amount of high nitrogen fertilizer that must be purchased and applied. Mulches moderate soil temperature so that the surface is cooler in summer and warmer in winter. As a result, you can avoid summer heat damage to shallow roots and freezing and thawing of tender roots in winter. Mulches help with weed prevention by stopping the sunlight from reaching weed seeds and weed seedlings. Small size mulch is preferable as it allows water penetration but prohibits sunlight from reaching the soil. Any material applied in a layer 3 inches to 4 inches deep will do, but the coarser your mulch, the deeper your layer must be. Master Gardener classes are offered monthly throughout the county.

BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: Lot 5, as shown on the Map entitled, “The Highlands, Unit No. 1”, filed for record August 30, 1972, in Book “F” of Maps, Page 6. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3502 ROYCE CT., RESCUE, CA 95672-9677 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $79,300.99 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221678. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the

telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-221678 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
