EID Stage 1 drought declaration aims to conserve Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent A Stage 1 drought alert was declared June 28 by the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors. The vote was unanimous. Stage 1 calls for voluntary measures that will lead to a 15% reduction in water use. The Outingdale community off Mt. Aukum Road has been advised that a Stage 4 declaration could affect 200 EID accounts there. The Stage 1 declaration calls for outside irrigation to be done in the early morning or evening. Also, EID customers should inspect irrigation lines for leaks that need to be repaired or replaced. Water can also be Photo by EID Water Construction Supervisor Noel Russell conserved by adjusting irrigation run times EID workers take emergency measures to repair a diversion dam June 25 on the and avoiding runoff into the street.

water use, implemented early, can positively impact the district’s carryover water storage,” said EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie. “This is especially important should precipitation levels during the 2021-22 fall and winter season remain low. During the last drought our customers and community came together and achieved significant conservation — some of that conservation became permanent. The small, voluntary changes we make now will have a significant effect on our water supplies.” EID staff will monitor Jenkinson Lake in Sly Park for carryover storage, aiming for 20,000-22,000 acre-feet of water. Jenkinson held 30,824 acre-feet Tuesday morning. As of June 29 Folsom Lake held 295,407 acre-feet and was receiving an inflow of 747 n

if the individual was vaccinated. The Delta variant was first detected in the U.S. in March 2021 and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spreads more easily and quickly than other variants, which may lead to more cases. CDC officials said studies suggest that the current authorized vaccines work on the circulating variants. El Dorado County also announced 20 new COVID-19 cases Monday, which covers June 25-27. Half of the cases are in residents between ages 18 and 49. The county is reporting two hospitalizations with no additional deaths (117). In regards to vaccination, 44.1% (85,183) have received two doses and another 50.3% (97,193) have received at least one dose.

ESSENTIALS Overload

OBITUARIES

El Dorado County sheriff’s deputies patrolling the El Dorado Trail by motorcycle earlier this year came upon a truck curiously overloaded as its driver pulled into the trailhead parking lot on Jacquier Road in Placerville. Part of the load was strapped to the front of the truck and across the windshield on the driver’s side. The driver was reportedly found to be unlicensed with several outstanding warrants from other counties and taken into custody. The driver also had a connection to another, broken-down vehicle parked at the trailhead for an extended period of time. Both vehicles were removed from the lot.

Jennifer Davis

May 20, 1971 - May 15, 2021

Jennifer Davis was born May 20, 1971 and unexpectedly passed peacefully on May 15 just five days before her 50th birthday. Jennifer was a strong, beautiful woman inside and out. She was loving, kind and understanding. Jennifer was always game for anything and was extremely brave. Everyone that knew her has positive words to describe who she was. Jennifer will be missed. Her singing voice was angelic. She was gifted with an insight ("knowing") of the spiritual world, a world beyond, where she now resides. Join us for a celebration of her life service Thursday, June 30 at 1 p.m. at the Placer Heights Baptist Church on Schnell School Road just one block from Highway 50. There will be a short casual reception with refreshments and music at the Upper Room on upper Broadway a quarter mile above the Dollar Store at 2:30 p.m. Jennifer's life needs to be remembered and that memory we will celebrate together. Please join us. Your presence will be a great gift to our sweet Jennifer and will permit us closure of our relationships with her on earth.

Crash victim ID’d Mountain Democrat staff The man who lost his life the evening of June 21 when his vehicle hit a tree along Highway 49 in Cool and then caught fire has been identified by the El Dorado County coroner as Darrell Sean Bewley, 37, of Newcastle. The crash occurred at about 8:18 p.m. just north of Meadowview Acres Road on Highway 49. Bewley was driving a 2010 Infiniti southbound on Highway 49, reportedly at a high rate of speed, when he unsafely passed another vehicle while approaching a curve. That’s when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree, according to CHP investigators. Weather at the time of the crash was noted as clear and dry. A spokesperson with the CHP’s Placerville office said whether alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor in the fatal incident remains under investigation.

Wildland fire destroys outbuildings in El Dorado Mountain Democrat staff Flames came dangerously close to homes Saturday afternoon when a wildland fire broke out near Kingvale and Wildcrest roads in El Dorado. Three outbuildings were destroyed, one residence was damaged and one outbuilding was damaged, according to Cal Fire officials. Sunday morning the blaze was 60% contained and had reportedly burned an estimated 11 acres. Sunday afternoon Cal Fire declared the fire 100% contained.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. No injuries were reported. The fire was first reported at about 1:10 p.m. Residents living on Lords Way, Goldorado Trail, Gold Country Road and west of China Hill Road at Steins Way were initially given mandatory evacuation orders but those orders were lifted later that afternoon. Attacking the fire by air and ground, firefighters had forward progress of the blaze stopped before 4 p.m. Saturday. Cooler temperatures overnight helped firefighters strengthen containment lines and knock down hot spots.

cubic feet per second while releasing 2,102 cfs. EID staff are concerned that the lake level — 386.33 feet elevation — could go below its intake tubes. The backup plan is to use the barge out in the lake that is there as part of the $35.5 million construction project by Granite Construction to install new intake tubes and pumps, plus a crane structure to lift the pumps out of the stainless-steel tubes. With staff time and inspection services the contract adds up to $42.7 million. On June 14 the EID board unanimously approved $1.12 million in two change orders. One change order was for extra rock drilling required due to poor composition of the rock. The other was for a strengthened redesign of the crane structure. Outingdale gets its water from a diversion dam on the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River. There were some breaches in the dam so EID crews canoed out with sandbags to repair the dam temporarily to allow water to flow over its proper spillway. When the river goes dry or becomes too low to pump, Outingdale will be supplied by water from four to five water tankers

Dogfighting Continued from A1 dogs, one of which had injuries to its face consistent with an attack from another dog. Many of the dogs allegedly had untreated veterinary conditions and numerous implements of the dogfighting trade were found on the property — a breeding stand, treadmills and veterinary supplies such as skin staplers, antibiotics, syringes and IV bags. Investigators also reportedly found paperwork indicating that Villasenor owned dogs used in dogfighting. “This investigation and indictment should send a strong, zero-tolerance message to those individuals who traffic in inflicting pain and suffering on animals,” said Patricia Contreras, special agent in charge with U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General. “We appreciate the commitment of our federal partners in pursuing these purveyors of death who operate animal fighting ventures.” The case is the product of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mira Chernick is prosecuting the case. If convicted, Villasenor faces a maximum statutory penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He may also be ordered to pay restitution for the care and rehabilitation of the dogs.

Jenkinson Lake held 30,824 acre-feet Tuesday morning. daily. When Outingdale is moved to Stage 4 each household will be limited to 50 gallons per person per day. On June 28 EID directors authorized the general manager to make that Stage 4 declaration and bring it back to the board for ratification. Operations Manager Dan Corcoran said this is the fourth-driest year in 50 years. That may follow the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s water year that begins in October. The Mountain Democrat rainfall stats that begin the water year July 1 shows 2020-21 water year of 17.55 inches is third behind the backto-back drought years of 1975-77, which recorded 15.90 inches and 15.86 inches, respectively. EID added 8,100 acre-feet of water to Jenkinson Lake via the Hazel Creek tunnel that

diverts water from the El Dorado Canal. As of June 9 the El Dorado Powerhouse was shut down to preserve water for consumptive use. EID’s alpine reservoirs are in pretty good shape. As of June 24 Lake Aloha was 81% full, Echo Lake was 101% full, Caples Lake was 86% full and Silver Lake was 87% full. Director George Osborne reported catching a lot of fish at Caples Lake.

AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE OF ORAL HEALTH Breastfeeding may not necessarily be suitable for every mother or every infant, but if you are on the fence about deciding what is best for you and your child, you should know that breastfeeding can have significant benefits for your baby’s oral health. Because breast milk is more easily digested than formula by most babies, more nutrients and vitamins that are vital to tooth and bone development are able to be absorbed. Breastfed babies are also far less likely to experience baby bottle tooth decay (also known as “bottle rot”). Of course, breastfeeding cannot eliminate tooth decay and you should start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they erupt.

Taught early enough, healthy habits turn into healthy lifestyles. Begin with proper brushing and flossing techniques and a tooth-friendly diet. Continue with regular professional care and cleanings for a beaming smile that will last a lifetime. If you would like more information on how to get your child’s dental experience off to a good start, we welcome your call. We have both children and adults as patients because everyone, regardless of age, deserves a winning smile. P.S. According to an American Dental Association study, children who were breastfed are less likely to have tooth alignment issues when they are older.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you think you can improve things, or keep them at a sweet status quo, you lead the way. But if you believe someone else has the right vision, you’ll be the first to follow. It’s not about power; it’s about the group good. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The difference between collecting and hoarding is in the rules that guide the acquisition. Hoarding is indiscriminate. What will you require of the things you add to your life? How do you know when a thing is worth having? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mission is to thrive as a contributor to the planet. As for those bent exclusively on promoting their own welfare, you don’t get it. The good news is that you don’t have to convince anyone. Your life is convincing enough. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life delivers poetic truths to you, brief and contrasting. Because much is left out, you’re able to fill in the blanks and reconcile contradictions. If you can’t make sense, make art. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some of your best teachers will be people who died years ago. Their lives are your lesson plans, and they may currently seem more accessible to your apprenticeship than anyone breathing. You’ll receive answers from beyond. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Avoid being like the tourist who packs too heavily or makes too many reservations, becoming beholden to self-created obligations. All will be taken care of when you go with less and trust the whims of the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to do things perfectly to belong to the group. In fact, since everyone in the group is imperfect, your flaws are part of your dues, so no need to hide them away. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Easy games don’t make champions. It’s as though this day is sensitive to what you need: nothing too startling, just a gentle unfolding of enough challenge to make things interesting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your education continues, and is going much stronger outside of formal schooling than it is or ever was inside of it. With a hunger to learn as your driver, you devour whole feasts of knowledge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll harmonize your work with the needs of the people around you. You’ll be reminded how each of them has their own circle of influence and these resonances extend indefinitely. Every small gesture matters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are a country with your own language and laws, your own icons and culture, your own food and aesthetic. Who is taking the time to learn the country of you? Who is “living” there without fully adapting to the place? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). “Many words lead to exhaustion,” says Lao-Tzu, and you’ve felt this while falling asleep with a book or in a lecture or just wishing you were asleep when someone overshares the minutia. You deserve peace. Go to the quiet.

A Letter to Governor Newsom June 14, 2021 Hon. Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California California State Capitol Building Sacramento, CA 95814

Re: Enhanced COVID benefits, related impacts to employers, labor market Dear Governor Newsom, Tomorrow, under your direction, the State of California is expected to “reopen” as state and local COVID related restrictions are eased. As organizations representing small, medium, and large employers, we are ready to reopen California and rebuild businesses by helping our members do what they do best, serve their

customers. Unfortunately, extended and enhanced state and federal unemployment benefits are slowing our state’s economic recovery and hindering business’ ability to build back. Employer surveys have shown that government benefits are competing with private sector employers, discouraging prospective employees from accepting open positions. A recent survey by the United Chamber Advocacy Network found that 78% of employers have current job openings and, among those, 78% said they were having difficulty hiring employees. And of that group, 56% said prospective employees would prefer to accept current COVID benefits than accept a job. According to the NFIB, the nation’s largest small-business lobbying group, a record 48% of small businesses surveyed could not fill open jobs, even with many of them offering higher pay. “The labor shortage is holding back growth for small businesses across the country,” said NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg. The US Chamber of Commerce, citing new data recently released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reported there were more than 9.3 million job openings available at the end of April and 9.8 million unemployed Americans, a single month increase of 1 million openings, and more than 2.5

million job openings have been added in 2021. To address and assess the barriers enhanced government assistance programs are presenting to California’s economic recovery, we call upon your administration and the legislature to undertake the following actions: 1. Immediately reinstate the requirement for job seekers to demonstrate they are seeking work. This was suspended at the beginning of COVID. https:// www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/ Eligibility.htm 2. Require EDD to conduct a 30-day analysis to verify employers’ concerns and determine if indeed job seekers are turning down jobs in favor of COVID relief. 3. Call upon local WIBs to do the same to “fact check” the EDD report. 4. Do not extend any current COVID benefits beyond their current expiration date, pending the EDD analysis. 5. Based on the EDD and WIB findings, the Legislature should consider the status of enhanced COVID benefits. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our suggestions. Sincerely,

On behalf of the following organizations: California Building Industry Association California Business Properties Association California Retailers Association Orange County Business Council Tri-County Chamber Alliance South Bay Association of Chambers of Commerce Gateway Chamber Alliance Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce Folsom Chamber of Commerce Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce Yuba Sutter Chamber of Commerce Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange Valley Contractors Exchange Santa Barbara County Contractors Association cc.

Home Inspirations

(PLACERVILLE, CA) - El Dorado County government will soon be receiving the first half of what will ultimately be a total of some $37.46 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. Previously, with funding from the federal COVID Relief package passed by Congress in December 2020, the County Board of Supervisors approved $5 million for a small business COVID relief grant program. Our three chambers were successful in helping to design this program. We advocated for its approval, and assisted with the grant application and award process. Over 300 businesses throughout the county, all struggling with the impacts of the pandemic, received grant awards of up to $30,000 each. In advance of funding from the American Rescue Plan, we are currently working with the County’s Economic Development Division through the Business Protection Workgroup to identify opportunities and programs that will again help support our small businesses, the backbone of our communities. We are confident our County Board of Supervisors will recognize the collaborative success of the prior grant program and consider approving a second allocation of funds for the small business COVID relief grant program. As advocates for our respective business communities, we know the need is still great. We commit to being partners in this timely effort, as we were earlier this year.

California Matters

California shifts from baby boom to baby bust

s California’s population exploded in the 1980s, largely due to a surge of immigration and a new baby boom, a fierce debate erupted among those on the political left. Some environmental leaders warned that DAN WALTERS rapid growth would put an unbearable strain on natural resources and called for curbs on immigration. But Latino leaders said such restrictions would be racist. The debate was encapsulated in an open feud between two of then-Gov. Jerry Brown’s top appointees, Resources Secretary Huey Johnson, who had been a prominent environmental leader, and Health and Welfare Secretary Mario Obledo, a leading Latino civil rights figure. At one point, Johnson, in a 1980 speech to the National Press Club in Washington, called for expanded abortion services, tax penalties on large families, immigration restrictions and other California has steps to counter the finally achieved “ultimate disaster” of overpopulation, the zero population triggering demands by growth that some Latino legislators that environmentalists he be fired. The conflict was so had urged decades intense that the Sierra ago, but it has Club devolved into two its own set of warring factions, one reflecting the Johnson challenges. view, the other seeking a political alliance with the state’s fast-growing Latino population. The internal feud ultimately manifested itself in leadership battles the anti-immigration bloc lost. This bit of four-decade-old history is offered as background to what eventually happened. After the 1980s, when the state added 6 million souls, growth began to slow and the most recent calculations by the U.S. Census Bureau and the state Department of Finance found that the state has, in fact, been losing population in recent years. Immigration from other countries has slowed to a trickle, we lose more people to other states than we gain, the birth rate has declined sharply and the death rate was increasing even before COVID-19. The Public Policy Institute of California has been charting this dramatic demographic evolution in a series of reports, the most recent of which explores

Editorial cartoon EDITOR; see Frank Mosbacher was upset that a cartoon lambasted the proposed Congressional investigation of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. He’s obviously upset that the kangaroo court the Democrats had planned was thwarted. He says we are better than that. Well, let’s take a look at better. We had a riot at the Capitol where the only shot fired was from an officer to shoot an unarmed woman in the neck, killing her. So you want an investigation, fine. But while you’re at it let’s include the many officers injured, blinded and killed, not to mention civilians, in the left wing riots that burned and vandalized Portland, New York, Seattle, Chicago and on and on. You say agreeing with you makes us better. Fine, if you really want to be better, agree to equal investigations to all the above left wing riots. If you want to look at things, opening both eyes helps. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

UFOs and geopolitics EDITOR: .S. Navy researcher Salvatore Cezar Pais, Ph.D., is the designated inventor for key, new technologies to produce a man-made antigravity spaceship, an American “UFO,” the so-called “Tic Tac.” He did this with the help of extraterrestrial consultants showing him how to use their extremely advanced technology, which incorporates advanced physics.

The geopolitical reason that the extraterrestrials are helping Navy researcher Pais is because Communist China has had initial success in the exotic antigravity technology of building a UFO. Because China is ruled by a ruthless authoritarian dictatorship, the Star Visitors (ETs) don’t want Communist China getting ahead in exotic technology that could be used for world domination. Russia is also of concern to the ETs nowadays. Russia too has succeeded in building an operating antigravity craft. They did so with earlier help from ET consultants during the Gorbachev and Yeltsin presidencies. But the ET consultants who had been assisting Russian scientists stopped coaching them when they saw former Soviet KGB official Vladimir Putin become Russia’s president, get “reelected” three times and increasingly move Russia in a totalitarian direction, such as lawlessly annexing territory. Russia antigravity-craft building has been limited without recent ET coaching. Russia’s man-made UFOs are considerably less advanced than U.S. ones. Chinese-made UFOs without ET help are also less advanced than U.S. ones. The Star Visitors have favored United States antigravity research because of the general U.S. trend of operating as a democratic, open society. (Let’s keep it that way.) Another reason the ETs are keeping a wary eye on China and Russia is because the ETs foresee the looming real risk of global nuclear war breaking out. The Star Visitors don’t want their antigravity UFO technology or their invisibility-cloaking, strong energy-dome shielding, destructive highenergy beam rays or other highly-advanced technologies shared to give those ruthless totalitarian societies any advantage in the event of global war breaking out.

The preamble of our Constitution explains that its mission is “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” When did this get lost? what this is all about than Sharonell Fulton, who was the lead plaintiff in this case against Philadelphia. Fulton is a Black foster mother, who has fostered more than 40 children in her home over the last 30 years. LGBTQ activists like to portray Christians as hateful and discriminatory. But listen to Fulton: “Children need to be accepted and loved. They have to feel that somebody cares ... I’ve had gay couples stop me in the supermarket ... And I told them, ‘Listen, this is not personal. I’m standing with the church because this is what I believe.’” The Catholic Church has been reaching out to orphans in Philadelphia for over 200 years. This is motivated by one thing: love. Why do we need Harvard-trained lawyers to justify something so obvious, that the essence of American religious freedom is Catholics raising children, or providing foster care, according to their biblical values? They are not forcing their values,

or asking government to force their values, on anyone. The preamble of our Constitution explains that its mission is “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” When did this get lost? Now that same-sex marriage is law of the land, the option of foster care in the home of same-sex couples should be examined. But they should not be free to shut down organizations insisting on biblical values. Now congressional Democrats are trying to pass the Equality Act that would do just that. In 1993 the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was passed to restore some protections to religious freedom. If some government measure impinges on religious freedom, it must be demonstrably essential. But the Equality Act would make the Religious Freedom Restoration Act null and void.

fter enduring a historic year of no events, shelter-inplace and reduced capacity the wineries of El Dorado are collectively raising a glass to celebrate the new normal. Now that California has “reopened” and the challenges of COVID19 are no longer impacting daily business, the region is launching a summer wine adventure with The Great Out There. Building on the region’s

historic Passport event, which is in its 30th year, The Great Out There was originally supposed to launch in 2020. “Our goal in 2020 was to create an event where the public can connect with the real character of our wineries and be immersed in unique, engaging, meaningful experiences,” said Kara Sather, executive director of the El Dorado Winery Association. “However, the name of the event is even more appropriate now, as people who have been stuck at home for over a year release that pent up need for socialization, a perfect reason

to enjoy The Great Out There.” The Great Out There, formerly known as Passport, centers around the feeling of excitement one gets when embarking into the unknown. “The Great Out There refers to the expansive and inspiring ‘out there’ of our Sierra landscape and geographical wine terroir, but it also alludes to the ‘out there’ of our minds and spirit,” explained Leanne Davis, association board member and owner of Via Romano Vineyards. “Our wineries and wine makers are ■

Food bank goes big in Tahoe News release On June 23 the Food Bank of El Dorado County carried out a plan to provide more than $50,000 worth of food to the Tahoe area’s most at-risk population. To start, a truck left the food bank at 7:30 a.m. with more than 25,000 pounds (12 ½ tons) of food. This food was dropped off at St. Teresa’s Bread and Broth, Family Resource Center, Live Violence Free and to the Washoe Tribe. At 8 a.m. another truck started up the hill with fresh produce, fruit, milk, butter, meat and more; 120 local families participated in the drive-thru Free Farmers Market.

We are also hoping that the visitors will come with their own sense of The Great Out There and bring their adventurous spirits to the mix.” Asked if the impact of COVID-19 has altered the event, Davis said she believes it has — in a positive way. “We tried a scaled-down version of the event in April, when mandates for social distancing were still in place, which forced us to limit capacity through reservations,” she said. “The success of the new format was overwhelmingly positive as staff and attendees alike preferred the new seated concept, so we have decided to repeat the concept with the summer adventure to The Great Out There.” The event takes place over one, three-day weekend, July 16-18. Participating wineries have

been challenged to create immersive experiences that exemplify their unique character and personality. Attendees will enjoy delicious food pairings designed to enhance the nuances of the quality mountain-grown wines as they travel from winery to winery taking in the beautiful landscape of the rugged Sierra foothills. El Dorado is known for extreme grape varietal diversity, so consumers are guaranteed to try wines they have never even heard of, let alone tasted. Wine offerings will range from the classics like cabernet and zinfandel to the obscure, such as negroamaro, fiano and montepulciano. The highest quality offerings will be featured in select and reserve tastings along the VIP trail. One-, two-and three-day options are available.

Continued from B1

your senses. Listed below are some suggestions: • Flowering tobacco, Nicotiana sylvestris, intensely scented. • Jasmine, Jasminum officinalis, evergreen fragrant climber. • Trumpet lily, Lilium regale, ‘Album’, rich, sweet scent. • Evening primrose, Oenothera biennis, luminous yellow flowers, loved by pollinators. • Tuberose, Agave Amica, formerly Polianthes tuberosa, intense night fragrance, pure white flowers. • Lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, sweet scent, shade plant that spreads. • English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, ‘Hidcote’, pale foliage, a delight to touch and smell. • Hosta Liliaceae, “August moon,” bright chartreuse. “Guacamole,” spiky flowers. “Liberty,” cream. • Lamb’s ear, Stachys byzantina, soft light gray leaves. • Dusty miller, Centaurea cineraria, lacy silver leaves. • Scented herbs add fragrance when lightly touched. Lighting is a necessary component for your twilight garden. Outdoor, globed electric lights looped down a row of tree branches can set the stage for more subtle, intimate light in other parts of the garden. Candlelight and fairy lights add a soft glow and sparkle. There are also many beautiful solar light options available. Water in your twilight garden is a must. Not everyone can have a large pond with a waterfall, but you can have a smaller, delightful water feature. Moving water brings the garden to life. Even a water feature planter with a pump that recirculates bubbling water creates calming sound effects. Floating solar lights shimmer in the water. A trickling fountain tucked in an unexpected corner can provide the perfect atmosphere. People are not the only ones who enjoy a twilight garden. Wildlife

also thrives in the twilight. Moths are attracted to pale flowers with intoxicating scents at night, flitting around gathering nectar in the evening hours. As the skies darken, bats fly and swoop, feeding on insects. Bats especially love cottage gardens planted with blooming, native wildflowers. You may even want to provide a bat box on the north side of a tree or building to attract bats to your twilight garden. Although not prevalent in California, fireflies (or lightening bugs, Lampyridae) feed on snails in damp areas. As a child in the Midwest, catching fireflies in the evening hours was an adventure. Their mini, flashing lights bring back fond memories. Enjoy your twilight evenings. Due to the pandemic, Master Gardener events will for the foreseeable future continue to be limited. Find the new online class schedule at mgeldorado. ucanr.edu/Public_Education_ Classes/?calendar=yes&g=56698 and recorded classes on many gardening topics at ucanr.edu/sites/ EDC_Master_Gardeners/Public_ Education_Classes/Handouts_-_ Presentations/.

No Bid may be withdrawn after the time established for receiving bids or before the award and execution of the Contract, unless the award is delayed for a period exceeding sixty (60) calendar days. Bids shall be executed in accordance with the instructions given and on the forms provided in the Contract Documents furnished by the County of El Dorado, Chief Administrative Office, Procurement & Contracts Division through Quest Construction Data Network (Quest). All bids must be clearly marked on the envelope: “BID FOR JOB ORDER CONTRACTING” BID #21-968-052 or BID #21-968-053 or BID #21-968-054 Three (3) bids are being advertised simultaneously utilizing the same Project Manual and Construction Task Catalog®, with one (1) bid form package. LOCATION/DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK: A Job Order Contract is an indefinite quantity contract pursuant to which the Contractor may perform an ongoing series of individual projects involving repair, remodel, or other repetitive work for any County department on existing County property at different locations throughout the County. The work shall not include new construction, design, or contract drawings. The bid documents include a

Construction Task Catalog® containing construction tasks with preset unit prices. All unit prices are based on local labor, material, and equipment prices and are for the direct cost of construction. The Contractor will bid FOUR (4) sets of adjustment factors to be applied to the unit prices. One set of Adjustment Factors for West Slope general facilities/property, one set of Adjustment Factors for West Slope secured facilities/property, one set of Adjustment Factors for nonsecured facilities/property located in the Tahoe Basin and one set of Adjustment Factors for secured facilities/property located in the Tahoe Basin. Each set of Adjustment Factors will include an Adjustment Factor for performing work during Normal Working Hours (6:00 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday) and an Adjustment Factor for performing work during Other Than Normal Working Hours (6:00 pm to 6:00 am Monday through Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and Holidays).

The Adjustment Factors shall be an increase or decrease to all the Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog®. For example, 1.1000 would be a 10% increase to the Unit Prices and 0.9500 would be a 5% decrease to the Unit Prices. Bidders who submit separate Adjustment Factors for separate Unit Prices will be considered non-responsive and their bid will be rejected. Thereafter, as projects are identified the Contractor will jointly scope the work with the Project Manager. The Project Manager will prepare a Detailed Scope of Work and issue a Request for Proposal to the Contractor. The Contractor will then prepare a Proposal for the project including a Job Order Price Proposal, Schedule, Sketches or Drawings, a list of subcontractors, and other requested documentation. If the Proposal is found to be reasonable, a Job Order may be issued. A Job Order will reference the Detailed Scope of Work and set forth the Job Order Completion Time, and the Job Order Price. The Job Order Price is determined by multiplying the preset unit prices by the appropriate quantities and by the appropriate Adjustment Factor. The Job Order Price shall be a lump sum, fixed price for the completion of the Detailed Scope of Work. A separate Job Order will be issued for each project. Extra work, credits, and deletions will be contained in additional Job Orders. The County selected The Gordian Group’s (Gordian) Job Order Contracting (JOC) System for their JOC program. The Gordian JOC Solution includes Gordian’s proprietary eGordian® JOC Applications and Construction Task Catalog®, which shall be used by the Contractor to prepare and submit Job Order Proposals (using the Unit Prices defined in the Construction Task Catalog®), subcontractor lists, and other requirements specified by the County. The Contractor shall be required to execute Gordian’s JOC System License and Fee Agreement, and pay a 1% JOC System License Fee to obtain access to the Gordian JOC Solution. A.

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-211560. 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 of Completion of a Draft Tribal Environmental Impact Report The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (Tribe) has prepared a Draft Tribal Environmental Impact Report (TEIR) to assess the potential off-reservation impacts of the Tribe’s proposed entertainment center project (Project). The TEIR has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the Tribal-State Compact (Compact) between the Tribe and the State of California. Project Description The Tribe is proposing to expand its Red Hawk Casino with the addition of an entertainment center. The 75,000-square-foot entertainment center would be developed above the northern half of the existing parking garage. The entertainment center would incorporate additional entertainment and dining options such as a bowling alley, virtual reality gaming suites, indoor go-karting, bar, and meeting rooms. In addition to the entertainment center, this TEIR addresses the expansion of the existing parking garage. The southern half of the existing eight-level parking garage would be expanded with an additional three levels. The additional three levels would expand the number of parking spaces from 3,040 to 3,600. Project Location The Project is located on the Shingle Springs Rancheria within an unincorporated portion of El Dorado County approximately two miles northeast of the community of Shingle Springs. The proposed facilities would expand the Tribe’s existing Red Hawk Casino, which is located on Red Hawk Parkway off Highway 50. Availability of the Draft TEIR The Draft TEIR is available on the Tribe’s website: https://www.shinglespringsrancheria.com/ Copies of the Draft TEIR are available at the Cameron Park Library (2500 Country Club Drive), El Dorado Hills Library (7455 Silva Valley Parkway), Georgetown Library (6680 Orleans Street), Placerville Library (345 Fair Lane), Pollock Pines Library (6210 Pony Express Trail), and South Lake Tahoe Library (1000 Rufus Allen Boulevard). Comment Period The publication of the Draft TEIR initiates a 45-day public review period. Written comments must be postmarked or received by email no later than August 16, 2021. Please send your written responses to: Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Attn: TEIR Comments P.O. Box 1340 Shingle Springs, CA 95682 EventCenterNOP@ssband.org
