Supes OK ‘no mask’ resolution Easement topic Chris Daley Mountain Democrat correspondent

Mountain Democrat photo by Eric Jaramishian

Opponents of mask mandates fill El Dorado County Board of Supervisors chambers Tuesday morning as a resolution supporting no masks in schools was approved. While mask policies in schools are decided at the state level the resolution sends a message that county residents and lawmakers want that decision to be made locally.

El Dorado County leaders intend to support residents opposing mask mandates and especially “no masks for kids” in school. Supervisors voted 4-1 to approve a resolution to that effect during their June 29 meeting. Offered by District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo, supervisors indicated their backing of the resolution while acknowledging concerns with some of the language n

of dispute at Bayley House Thomas Frey Staff writer

An El Dorado County judge has ordered a mandatory settlement conference in a lawsuit filed by the Georgetown Divide Recreation District over the location of an easement on Pilot Hill property where the Bayley House sits. Two of the defendants, Terry Wilson and Alex Byrd, represented by attorney Nabil Samaan, use the Bayley House’s entry road, which is off Highway 49 and on a parcel owned by GDRD, to get to their properties. An easement is defined as a right to cross or

OBITUARIES

Phyllis Nadine Moore was born Aug. 6, 1933 in Duluth, Minn., and went home to be with the Lord June 20. Phyllis loved playing the piano and blessing others with her music. It was when she was playing piano for the First Baptist Church in Riverside, Calif., that she met her one and only, James R. Moore. They were married on April 6, 1956 and had 65 wonderful years together. They lived in Riverside for 25 years and raised three children there. Phyllis continued to minister through her piano playing at Grace Baptist Church in Riverside for 20 years. In 1979 Phyllis and Jim moved to Placerville and she became the pianist for the First Baptist Church in Placerville. She later played at the Camino Community Church where she continued to bless others with her beautiful piano playing. She never met a stranger. Her friendliness and laughter would draw people in and before you knew it, you were one of her best friends. She loved having people over to her house to share a meal or dessert and of course lots of laughter. Phyllis is survived by her husband of 65 years, James R. Moore, along with her three children, Cindy (Steve) Robitaille, Jim (Pam) Moore and Julie (Greg) Wentz. She also leaves behind four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is in heaven with the Lord and celebrating with those who have gone before her. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please feel free to send donations to Snowline Hospice or a charity of your choice, as Phyllis loved to give to others.

With the Independence Day holiday rapidly approaching, Cal Fire officials remind all Californians and visitors to do their part to prevent fires caused by illegal fireworks or the misuse of “safe and sane” fireworks. Sales of safe and sane fireworks began June 18 in approximately 300 communities outside of El Dorado County. All fireworks are banned in El Dorado County. There is zero tolerance for the use and sale of illegal fireworks in California. Any person who causes a fire can be held liable for the costs of its suppression and associated property damage. Often these costs are in the hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. There are also legal ramifications when it comes to certain types of fireworks. Possession or transportation of illegal fireworks such as sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other types that explode, go into the air or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner can lead to a possible fine of up to $50,000, as well as prison time or jail for up to one year. Even safe and sane fireworks taken into a city or county where they are banned are considered illegal.

2:28 a.m. A 35-year-old man was arrested on El Dorado Road in Placerville on suspicion of drug sales.

County launches VHR website El Dorado County CAO El Dorado County officials have launched a new Code Enforcement micro website to provide accurate and timely information about the county’s vacation home rental program to VHR owners, local residents and VHR renters. “For years the Board of Supervisors has discussed the need for VHR policies to strike a balance between the rights of homeowners to rent their properties and the rights of the surrounding communities not to be disrupted by renters. Such a balancing act requires a strong education and outreach effort through Code Enforcement and Planning. This website is one component in the board’s overall approach to do just that,” said Planning and Building Director Tiffany Schmid. El Dorado County regulates, permits and enforces vacation home rentals within its jurisdiction of the Tahoe Basin and West Slope, excluding the incorporated cities. VHRs operating within the city limits of the city of South Lake Tahoe are permitted and enforced by the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. VHRs operating within the city limits of Placerville are permitted and enforced by the city of Placerville. Within unincorporated El Dorado County, Code

Enforcement administers the VHR enforcement program while staff from Planning Services administers the VHR permitting program. The microsite links together the various aspects of the VHR program, including VHR permitting, building permits, fire department inspections, and Code Enforcement activities. The new site will complement and supplement the existing VHR permitting website and provides a seamless transition between Code Enforcement and Permitting activities. Residents and visitors will now be able to go to one place on the county’s website and find information and resources including links to all VHR partner agencies and departments, FAQs, the Code Enforcement progressive enforcement approach, how to lodge a complaint, a permit tracking tool, contact information, penalties and a sign-up page for a new VHR enforcement newsletter. “The VHR ordinances are the minimum set of standards adopted by the county’s Board of Supervisors which govern how VHRs are permitted and how they operate. It is the role of county staff to educate and enforce those ordinances in a fair, transparent and consistent manner and this new micro-website is a solid step in that direction,” said Schmid.

CHP urges drivers to slow down California Highway Patrol SACRAMENTO — Many Californians are looking forward to a three-day weekend this year for Independence Day. Even though people are eager to travel and get together with family and friends, the California Highway Patrol is urging motorists to slow down and enjoy the holiday. Beginning at 6:01 p.m. Friday, July 2, through 11:59 p.m. Monday, July 5, CHP will observe a maximum enforcement period focused on speed enforcement. To keep the roadways safe for everyone, all available officers will be watching for motorists who are distracted, speeding or driving under the influence. CHP officers will also be on alert for aggressive driving and acts of road rage. With many motorists expected on the roadways, patience will

be key. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and avoid unsafe driving behavior such as tailgating. Remaining calm and courteous behind the wheel reduces your risk of an unpleasant encounter with other motorists. If you feel you are at risk, call 911. “Saving lives is a priority for our officers,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “Motorists will help make everyone’s holiday safer on the road by observing the speed limits, avoiding distractions, staying sober, practicing patience and being courteous to other drivers.” During the 2020 Independence Day maximum enforcement period at least 36 people were killed in crashes on California roadways. The CHP also made 738 arrests for DUI of alcohol and/or drugs. This year’s Independence Day enforcement period also

coincides with a speed-related traffic safety effort that CHP is participating in along with the Oregon State Police and the Washington State Patrol along Interstate 5, which passes through all three states. Officers in the three states will focus on speed violations along the entire stretch of Interstate 5. “By getting the message out, we are hoping for voluntary compliance from motorists,” added Ray. “However, officers will be looking for anyone who is speeding or driving impaired and posing a danger on the roadways.” The most recent nationwide data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows one-fourth of traffic fatalities in 2018 were the result of speeding. In fatal crashes in 2018, nearly half (48%) of speeding drivers in passenger vehicles were not using seat belts at the time of the crash.

Fire restrictions in place on Eldorado News release Fire restrictions have gone into effect on the Eldorado National Forest under Forest Order 03-21-11. Wood and charcoal fires will be restricted to metal fire rings and grills in designated developed recreation sites listed in the order. All other campfires are prohibited until the end of fire season. Persons with a valid California Campfire Permit may use a portable propane campfire pit, stove or lantern that uses gas, kerosene, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel, with a shut-off valve, in an area at least 3 feet from any flammable materials. Other regulations prohibit the possession or use of any type of explosive, fireworks or pyrotechnic device, and require the use of spark arresters on all national forests in California under Regional Order 20-04. Forest and regional orders can be found on the forest website at fs.usda.gov/detailfull/eldorado/ home. “It’s going to be another tough fire season,” said Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. “We need every visitor to help prevent wildfires by being fire safe and reporting abandoned or illegal fires to 911 or to the nearest ranger station.” To protect public safety and forest resources, fire restrictions on the Eldorado National Forest prohibit the following acts: 1. Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, except within stoves, charcoal grills or fire rings provided in the developed

recreation sites. 2. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. 3. Welding or operating an acetylene or other torch with an open flame. 4. Operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting device that is properly installed, maintained and in effective working order in accordance with U.S. Forest Service standards. The complete 2021 fire restrictions for the Eldorado National Forest, including the list of exempted recreation sites, is available on the forest website at fs.usda.gov/eldorado. California Campfire Permits are available online at readyforwildfire.org/ prevent-wildfire/campfire-safety. Visitors are also reminded that motor vehicles are a potential ignition source and are allowed only on designated National Forest System roads, routes, trails and areas identified on the Eldorado National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map. For more information about fire restrictions and recreation opportunities on the Eldorado National Forest contact the visitor information team at: • Forest Supervisor’s Office, (530) 303-2412 • Placerville / Paciﬁc Ranger Districts (916) 5004712 • Georgetown Ranger District, (530) 334-6477 • Amador Ranger District, (209) 259-3774

Fish without a license this Saturday California Department of Fish and Wildlife Have you ever felt the excitement of watching your bobber suddenly jiggle, then dive out of sight? Or feeling the tap-tap-tap of a bass as it tastes the worm on the end of your line? If you are new to the sport of fishing or not sure if you will enjoy it, a great opportunity awaits you. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife offers two free fishing days each year and the next one is Saturday, July 3.

On these days anyone can fish without a sport fishing license. Free fishing days provide a low-cost way to give fishing a try. License-free fishing is also allowed Sept. 4. 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 every angler must have the appropriate report card if they are fishing for steelhead, sturgeon or salmon in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity River systems.

Letters to the Editor Beware of barbecue bugs EDITOR: he scarcity of animal meat caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will keep our outdoor grills safer this Independence Day. Folks who grill hamburgers and hot dogs face a nasty choice. The U.S. Meat and Poultry Hotline advises grilling at high temperature to avoid food poisoning by E. coli and salmonella bacteria. But the National Cancer Institute warns that hightemperature grilling of processed meats generates cancer-causing compounds. Fortunately, we no longer need to choose between food poisoning and cancer. A bunch of enterprising U.S. food processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a rich variety of convenient, healthful, delicious plant-based veggie burgers, veggie dogs and soy nuggets. These products don’t harbor nasty bugs or cancer-causing compounds. They are missing the cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs, hormones and pesticides of their animal-based alternatives. And, they are waiting for us in the frozen food section of our favorite supermarket, along with nut-based ice creams and other dairy-free desserts. This Independence Day, let’s declare our independence from the meat industry and their barbecue bugs. Let’s welcome the convenient, delicious, healthful, eco-friendly, compassionate plant-based meats and dairy foods into our kitchens. PERCY MAILLOT Placerville

Comcast and the El Dorado Irrigation District. According to an Aug. 14, 2013, engineer’s report, these were the costs involved and related funding: • Design: $310,000 ($27,000 of which is reimbursable from tariff funds) • Construction: $5,900,000 ($5,870,000 of which is estimated as reimbursable from tariff funds) • Right of Way: $160,000 (non-reimbursable) Question: Has the county been reimbursed for expenses of the UDD to this date? An ”Old Gang of Five” several years ago made a requirement for broadband to be part of any new road construction. You will pay for broadband even if you don’t need it or want it. So where does this leave us? Answer: With an unﬁnished road project that has cost us about $14 million to date for about one-half mile of new road. It has been said PG&E is the holdup because of the delay in installation of utilities. Can you imagine how long the next phase will take, if it has taken 2 ½ years for this phase that is still not completed with no end in sight? Phase 1B is longer (maybe 1 ½ miles) with more construction time. At least we have a new tourist attraction to Diamond Springs — The Great Wall of Diamond Springs. Look quick as you drive by (cost about $250,000 of which $145,000 went for the architectural effect of rock work). Even the intersection at Black Rice Road seems to get a lot of attention. Why? Could it be the new subdivisions planned for Black Rice Road? Is this why the UDD was needed? At a time when our roads need to be repaired for wildfire safety as well as driving safety, this money taken from the Red Hawk Casino agreement could have been used elsewhere with more benefit to the people of this county, as was the original intention. In my opinion, this project needs to be investigated by the grand jury. Don’t hold your breath. BRIAN DeBERRY Diamond Springs

California Matters

Changing rules can change outcomes

he conflict du jour in Washington these days is the sweeping Democratic bill — passed by the House but hung up in the Senate — to overhaul voting procedures. The legislation would supersede widely varying state-level voting laws DAN WALTERS and is needed, President Joe Biden and other Democratic figures contend, to counteract voter suppression in Republican-dominated states. Republicans counter that the Democrats are less interested in protecting voters’ rights than in changing procedures to enhance Democratic prospects in future elections. One section of the legislation targets the redrawing of congressional seats after each census, a Current events process that has helped in Washington Republicans increase and California their numbers in Congress and unless prove again that changed is likely to do politicians change so again. the rules of politics In most states, legislatures decide how to gain advantage. congressional districts are drawn to equalize their populations and, a couple of decades ago, Republicans and conservative political groups began concentrating on electing state legislators with the clear aim of influencing redistricting outcomes. Democrats were caught napping as the GOP made big, state-level gains and used its advantage to increase its congressional strength after the 2000 and 2010 censuses. Republicans now control 30 of the nation’s legislatures and have total control, including governorships, in 23 states — both figures far outstripping the number of blue states such as California. As Democrats decry Republican gerrymanders as unfair and undemocratic, the solution, they say, is requiring states to create bipartisan and independent commissions to draw districts, such as California has done. Their advocacy for independent redistricting, however, is a recent epiphany, emerging only after they had been outfoxed by Republicans, as demonstrated by the history of redistricting in California. When they controlled the process in California, Democrats openly drew districts to their advantage, the most notorious example being a major shift of congressional seats after the 1980 census, masterminded by late San Francisco congressman Phil Burton. The districts Burton drew and then-Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic legislators rubber-stamped — one of which benefited his brother, John — were so weirdly drawn that Burton described them, wryly, as “my contribution to modern art.” Nearly three decades later, when two ballot measures were proposed to shift California’s redistricting from the Legislature to an independent commission, Democratic leaders were bitterly opposed. The chief opponent was Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has since magically morphed into an ardent advocate of independent redistricting in her voting rights bill. The wrangling over independent redistricting, as well as other election procedures, once again prove the adage that changing the rules of the game, whether it’s the political game or baseball, often changes outcomes. Another example of the syndrome is playing out in California right now. Four years ago the Capitol’s dominant Democrats changed the rules governing recall elections with the clear aim of helping a state senator from Orange County, Josh Newman, fend off a recall. The revised rules merged the recall election with the state’s June 2018 primary election, thereby, Democrats hoped, boosting voter turnout and thus Newman’s chances of winning. The ploy failed and Newman was recalled, although he regained his seat in 2020. This year Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a recall and under the rules written to help Newman, the recall election would have probably been held in October or November. However, efforts afoot in the Capitol to stage the election earlier, on the theory that Newsom would be better positioned to win then, have succeeded. Newsom will probably prevail no matter when the election is held, but politicians being politicians, changing the rules of the game to gain an advantage is just business as usual, regardless of party.

increased everyone’s awareness regarding fire hazards. In response to this increasing hazard, staff is also intensively planning for what the district understands will be increasingly regular power interruptions resulting from PG&E’s public safety power shutoffs this year. While EID has been able to make key investments in backup generators at vital infrastructure points, a multi-day outage can stress the district’s ability to keep the water and sewer services our community relies on running uninterrupted. EID is committed to providing the continued 24/7 service our customers rely on throughout any potential power shutdown. However, since the extent of

PG&E’s outages will not be fully known until the day of the event in response to localized weather conditions, it is not possible to know in advance where potential interruptions to water and wastewater services could occur. As such, we want all customers to be prepared to safely handle any emergency and we request your assistance in responding to our calls for water conservation. EID will notify customers immediately prior to and during PSPS events when we obtain information from PG&E regarding outage locations and are able to evaluate how such outages are anticipated to impact our ability to maintain drinking water and wastewater treatment services.

To help ensure we can maintain communication on this important public safety matter, we request that customers ensure that they have accurate contact details on file with us. You can email our customer service group at billing@eid.org, call (530) 6424000 or visit our website at eid. org to update your information. EID and its dedicated workforce, working on behalf of our strong community, will continue to plan for any and all challenges that may come. We have been here before and have plans that are being implemented now to manage our resources for the maximum benefit of our customers and community. Jim Abercrombie is EID’s general manager.

All invited to help ‘Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue’ Volunteers show off their haul of litter after a past Red, White and Blue Beach Cleanup at Lake Tahoe.

Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — It’s no secret Fourth of July weekend is prime time to be at Lake Tahoe. Tens of thousands choose to spend Independence Day on the shores of one of the nation’s most stunning natural treasures. In past years big crowds have created the potential for big environmental impacts on Lake Tahoe’s water clarity, ecological health and scenic beauty. Thousands of Keep Tahoe Blue volunteers dedicate the morning of July 5 to protect Lake Tahoe from pollution. Since 2013 the League to Save Lake Tahoe along with partners and sponsors have hosted July 5 cleanup events at beaches around the lake. The Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Cleanup is an opportunity for visitors and residents to protect the lake they love by removing the mess leftover from holiday festivities. Their efforts make a difference as nearly 9,000 pounds of litter have been prevented from polluting the lake’s waters. This Fourth of July weekend Lake Tahoe will need as much help

Divers remove 5,000 pounds of trash from Lake Tahoe Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Crews with Clean up the Lake have so far cleaned 12 miles of Lake Tahoe shoreline and have already collected and removed more than 5,000 pounds of trash. The effort started May 14 and divers have been covering about a mile a day for three days a week since and plan to clean 72 miles of underwater shoreline around the lake. According to CUTL founder Colin West, as of Tuesday, June 22, they’ve found 2,665 pieces of trash which weighs 5,104.5 pounds. They’ve found 889 different pieces of plastic, 390 glass bottles, 149 heavy lift items and they’ve identified 13 hot spots. West added that they’ve also found many tires that are degrading. “In some places, there’s been more

While diving off the shore of Glenbrook, they had two days in a row of pulling more than 600 pounds of trash. “What will the next 60 days hold? Who knows,”

West said. West added that he’s found himself dreaming of trash on several occasions since the project started but that the goal and work make it worthwhile. Winds have played a role in where the divers

have been able to go and they are currently a few miles short of their daily goals. However, West said they’ve had some longer days and are confident they are still on schedule to finish in November.

Best Friends Animal Society News release

• Mammal: White-tailed deer

After more than a year of isolation this July 4 could be one of the most celebrated in recent memory. While the food, fireworks and festivities that represent Independence Day are fun for most Americans, the same can’t be said for our pets. As people with dogs and cats at home can attest, the holiday can be traumatic for our fourlegged family members. Pets — especially dogs — can have a phobic reaction to fireworks and other loud sights and sounds that can lead to extreme anxiety. Dogs have been known to dig under or jump over fences, break tethers or even shatter windows in response to their fireworks fears. Many pets panic and get loose, ending up injured or in shelters, so it’s best to prevent such potential situations in the first place. “It’s fairly simple to make your home a tranquil place for your pets on July 4,” said Erin Katribe, veterinarian and medical director of Best Friends Animal Society. “The last thing you want is an

Several medications to treat anxiety in pets are available. “It’s important to do this based

on your pet’s weight, age and health issues, so make sure to get the proper prescription and dosage from your veterinarian,” Katribe said. “Milder anxiety can be helped with supplements, such as those containing tryptophan, or a Thundershirt, which swaddles your pet and comforts ■

Carrick wins a last-lap thriller Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick performed some final lap magic at Placerville Speedway last Saturday as the 19-year-old slipped to the inside of Jodie Robinson before narrowly nipping her at the line to win an ultra-exciting winged 360 sprint car feature. The annual Bryan Carnett Clash saw a total of 94 cars pack the pit area at the Placerville bullring. In addition to Carrick, also claiming victories were Bobby Hogge with the limited late models, Dan Jinkerson in the pure stocks, Ben Wiesz with the NorCal Dwarf Car Association and Ron Rezz with the vintage hard tops. Roseville’s Jodie Robinson was fresh off a solid outing at Ocean Speedway the previous

night and rocketed into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the winged 360 feature. The 18-year-old navigated the high-side to perfection and held a steady advantage over much of the 25-lapper, but the racing behind her remained entertaining. Point leader Joel Myers Jr., Andy Gregg, Tanner Carrick, Andy Forsberg and others fought high and low on the quarter-mile. With the main event winding down things closed in lapped traffic as Myers and Carrick looked to make something happen. A late caution created a game-changing restart however, and during it Carrick sliced to the inside of Myers to grab second, before coming after the lead. When Ron Stahl waved the white flag Carrick hit the bottom just how he wanted and drove under Robinson to snag the lead heading into the final

corners. Robinson attempted to dive back underneath, heading down the front stretch, but Carrick was able to cross the stripe by an official margin of victory that read 0.265 seconds. It marked his third career triumph at the speedway and second this season. Despite not getting the win, Robinson must be commended for driving an exceptional race to earn her best finish of 2021 in Placerville. Hanford’s Michael Faccinto continued his impressive string of events at the track, driving from 11th to third. Andy Gregg had a very solid run in the feature as well to claim fourth, with Lincoln’s Blake Carrick rounding out the top five. Joel Myers Jr., Kalib Henry, Kaleb Montgomery,

The annual Freedom Fireworks event on Independence Day is often one of the biggest of the season at Placerville Speedway and this Sunday that tradition continues with another championship point race occurring at the quarter-mile. This year’s Fourth of July spectacular features three divisions in — winged 360 sprint cars, limited late models and pure stocks. The event will be capped off with a fireworks show to commemorate the holiday. “The Freedom Fireworks event is always a night that fans and race teams look forward to,” said Russell Motorsports Inc. President Scott Russell. “We invite everyone to come out, grab a cold beverage of your choice and take in a great night of racing, followed by an epic firework display. Motorsports and Independence Day have always gone hand in hand and Placerville Speedway is excited to continue that ritual Sunday. All kids 11 and under also receive free admission during the night.” Sebastopol’s Joel Myers Jr. continues to sit atop winged 360 sprint car standings heading into the ninth race of the season. The 15-year-old is still in search of his first victory but has shown solid

consistency, having finished among the top 10 in all but one event. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg goes into July 4 ranking second in the standings and will look to chip away at the lead, as will thirdplace Andy Gregg of Placerville. Gregg is fresh off a strong outing last weekend where he finished fourth in the feature. Last Saturday’s winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln sits fourth in points and will be another favorite at the event. Outlaw Kart graduate Landon Brooks has also moved into the top five in the standings for the first time following a top 10 last week. Shane Hopkins, Blake Carrick, Justyn Cox, Justin Bradway and Michael Ing complete the top 10 going into the always fun Independence Day show. The point battle with the limited late models could not be closer as teammates Tyler Lightfoot and Dan Jinkerson sit tied atop the standings. Lightfoot has secured a pair of victories recently as he sits on a hot streak heading into Sunday. Although not ending up in limited late model victory lane yet Jinkerson has been consistent and finds himself in position for a championship. A win on Sunday would go a long way toward accomplishing that goal. Auburn’s Ray Trimble had led the points until ■

Landon Brooks and Forsberg rounded out the top 10. Montgomery captured the B-main, while heat races went to Jake Andreotti, Landon Brooks, Myers Jr. and Gregg. Montgomery began the night by earning the Fast Time Award by pacing the 29-car field in qualifying with a lap of 10.721. Whenever there is big money on the line and Bobby Hogge is in the field you know it’s going to be a tall order for the rest of the field. That turned out to be the fact on Saturday in the limited late models, although it didn’t come easy for the Salinas veteran over the waning stages of the 20-lapper. Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. led the early laps over teammate Jay Norton but they soon felt pressure in the form of Hogge. The California icon carved his way to the inside on a restart and charged into the top spot. Hogge looked to be on the way to an easy payday but Brown Jr. found speed late in the going and closed right up to Hogge’s bumper. The duo raced close together but in the end it was Hogge who took home the $2,500 Carnett Clash grand prize. Brown finished second to earn a cool $1,500 while Norton will score $1,000 for his third-place effort. Dan Jinkerson and Clark Gugliomoni rounded out the top five. Tyler Lightfoot, Kiely Ricardo, Tom Tilford, Rod Oliver and Kevin Jinkerson completed the top 10. Hogge and Norton claimed the two heat races as a total of 17 cars competed at the Carnett. The 20-lap pure stock feature was plagued by several cautions early on but nothing was slowing the fast-moving Dan Jinkerson who took home the $1,200 victory on Saturday. Brother Kevin

and Nick Baldwin battled side by side over the opening stages before Dan charged into the top spot that he would never relinquish. It marked his 34th career victory at Placerville Speedway in the division. Kevin Jinkerson crossed the stripe in second followed by Baldwin, Wayne Trimble, Chris McGinnis, Dave Silva, Matt Tilford, $500 mystery spot winner Phil Wilkins and Travis Emery in the top 10. Heat race wins were snagged by Kevin Jinkerson, Nick Baldwin and Dan Jinkerson. A total of 19 pure stocks were on hand to honor the late Bryan Carnett. As customary, the action with the NorCal Dwarf Car Association was exceptional. Several drivers battled up front racing on every square inch of the Placerville Speedway. Colfax competitor Ben Wiesz, Galt’s Ryan Winter, Fairfield’s Mike Grenert and Camino’s Shawn Whitney put on a show for the crowd. Winter had moved into the lead and most thought that was going to be all she wrote, but Wiesz had other ideas as he tucked up to the inside and came after the top spot. The duo was fun to watch with Wiesz catfishing down low and Winter running the ragged edge of the bullring. Wiesz inched ahead and ultimately drove away to claim the win over Winter, Grenert, Whitney and Dylan Shrum in the top five. Rounding out the top 10 in the 20-lap contest were 19th starter Josh Wiesz, Mike Reeder, Dan Geil, Gage Meyers and Corey Eaton. Heat race victories during the night were earned by Mike Grenert, Ben Wiesz and Dylan Shrum. A total of 21 cars competed.

Sunday's races at Placerville Speedway will be followed by an Independence Day fireworks show.

them.” Pet first aid kits can help treat minor injuries such as scrapes or cuts at home, according to Katribe, while more serious situations such as puncture wounds, burns, broken bones, eye injuries or heat stroke require consulting with a veterinarian immediately. When in doubt, consult a veterinarian to decide if an exam is needed. “If veterinary care is warranted, start by contacting your veterinarian’s office, if they are open. Call ahead to see if they can take your pet for an emergency exam. If not, you may need to go to a 24/7 emergency facility, which your vet can refer you to. I recommend that all pet owners find out the contact information of their local emergency clinic ahead of time, so that it’s quickly within reach in those unexpected moments,” Katribe said. Best Friends Animal Society offers these additional tips to keep your pets as safe as possible during the holiday: • Bring all pets indoors whenever neighborhood fireworks displays are likely, making sure that any potentially harmful food or alcohol is kept out of reach. • Secure pets in a room, close the widows, draw the curtains, and play loud music or turn on the television to drown out the frightening sounds. • Keep pets away from lit ﬁreworks at all times, including your own backyard, as some will chase after the bright moving objects and are at risk to be burned or blinded in the process. • Many ﬁreworks also contain substances that are toxic if ingested, so be sure to keep unlit fireworks out of reach. • Ensure that pets are wearing current identification tags, and make sure your current contact info is recorded with the vet clinic or shelter that implanted the microchip. • Have a plan in place in case your pet does go missing that includes calling and visiting the local shelter and posting information about your missing pet on platforms such as Nextdoor and Facebook.

The easement, above, cuts from Highway 49 to private property through the Georgetown Divide Recreation District's 10-acres on which the Bayley House sits. A gate restricted access to the easement road, right photo.

otherwise use someone else’s land for a specified purpose and in this case, nearby landowners say it’s the only way they can access their land. Wilson said he went to leave his property one day but he couldn’t — a gate had popped up with a lock he didn’t have the combination for. “That’s false imprisonment,” his attorney said. In a preliminary injunction filed May 3, GDRD’s attorney Ronald Scholar stated that the “defendants, in what can only be described as a tortured interpretation of the 1977 grant deed, claim their easement is south of the Bayley Barn when the 1977 grant deed states it is north of the Bayley Barn.” The easement today runs directly between the Bayley House and Bayley Barn. When the county’s late surveyor Phil Mosbacher went to look at the land in April, he indicated the easement’s location was valid in his records. “The county surveyor identified everything on the parcel map and said the easement is valid,” Samaan said. “GDRD is suing us for what El Dorado County approved. This case will eventually evaporate.” Despite that, Samaan said his clients have offered to fully fund and build an easement north of the barn — something that would cost at least $100,000 — but GDRD didn’t take them up on the offer. The barn was restored as a large event and wedding venue while the Bayley House, originally built in 1861, remains in disrepair, although in 2008 a fundraising effort got off the ground to restore it for possible use as a museum and cultural center. A.J. Bayley initially had a hotel in mind, thinking the Central Pacific Railroad would run nearby and travelers would make good use of the 22-rooms — but the railroad took a different course. The Bayley House still served as a hotel before being used as a private residence up to the 1960s. In 1978 the Bayley House and surrounding 10 acres were donated to El Dorado County before being sold in 1989 to GDRD for $1. “All of (GDRD’s) landscaping, all of their wedding venue is in the location where the roads would have to go,” said neighboring property owner Byrd. Heavy traffic on an easement is a concern for GDRD. In Scholar’s injunction, activity involving large gravel and water trucks traversing Bayley Park was noted. GDRD Recreation and Facility Director Jayne Captein was cited as a witness of such activity, which she said created poor air quality during an event being held at the Baley Barn. “… large gravel trucks traveled back and forth on the dirt road, stirring up dust creating poor air quality,” she stated. “While (the) defendants were also running water tanker trucks up to their properties they did not wet down the dirt road. This activity is a significant and substantial increase in the use of the dirt road both in the number of trips and the size of

the vehicles.” That is all allowed, according to the 1977 land deed, which says the “… easement hereby reserved to grantor its successors and assigns good and sufficient for all purposes to provide access, utilities and other services..” Samaan said GDRD suggested an easement off of Rattlesnake Bar Road could be used instead. When the Mountain Democrat went to investigate potential easement access, nothing resembling a future road could be found. “You’d literally have to take out tons of trees, grade the soil and bring in asphalt,” Samaan said. “It makes no sense.” Samaan’s clients have offered to spend six figures to develop that road but they also want to continue having access to the current Highway 49 easement, something Samaan said was denied by GDRD. Wilson said he carries a chainsaw and bolt cutters with him because he never knows when a new lock he doesn’t have the combination for will show up on the gate on the easement road. Wilson said in April he tore the gate out entirely. “I don’t know why all of a sudden it was so urgent that they had to go and rip up the district’s property,” asked GRDR attorney Scholar during a May 14 court appearance. “Mr. Wilson has no access other than this access,” argued Samaan. “He’s not trying to intimidate or hurt anybody. He’s trying to use his property; that’s all.” Samann pointed out that according to Section 130.30.090 of the county code, “The placement of gates across county-maintained rights-of-way shall be prohibited.” To put a gate up a permit must be reviewed by the county Department of Transportation and the local fire district, road widths and gate openings must conform to the minimum requirements of Title 14 fire-safe regulations and gates must be equipped with an emergency access lock system approved by the fire department, among other regulations. Before taking the gate down Wilson said he tried his best to resolve the problem peacefully. “They had a cluster of five padlocks locking the gate; I sent emails to Jacqui Brunton, the GDRD general manager, and I said, ‘Please. I’m a new owner here and I want to get along. I will buy a gate; let’s all come together and get one gate. I will build it; I will pay for everything; we just need a keypad to do this — a real legal gate that we’ve got to get a permit for.’ They did not respond to that and I asked twice.” At a June 14 court hearing Judge Dylan Sullivan encouraged the two sides to hit a deal. The mandatory settlement conference is scheduled for July 21 in Department 10 of El Dorado County Superior Court. Scholar and GDRD declined to comment.

Dozens of people stream into the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting room toting signs in protest of masking.

EQUAL RIGHTS

and focus as read into the record by Turnboo. They generally agreed not to “wordsmith” the resolution while indicating a need for changes before final adoption. A standing-roomonly audience held hand-made signs bearing numerous variations of “Let the children breathe,” “Protect our rights,” “No mask mandate for kids,” “… (no) nanny state” and “Recall Gov. Newsom.” The group totaled over 100 people, which included parents, grandparents, elementary school students and toddlers in strollers. Several dozen wanted to address the board and began lining up for a turn at the podium. First in line was Lindsay Moffett, mother of three children attending Sierra Elementary. “We as parents are the advocates for our children,” Moffett said. “We are the ones who should be deciding what is best for them.” Board Chairman, District 1’s John Hidahl, asked for “decorum,” which precludes clapping or “hooting” in support of points noted by speakers. He repeated the admonition a number of

Hidahl also clarified that many of the rules governing community and school district compliance to public health mandates are beyond the jurisdiction of the county. Instead, it is primarily at the state or school district level, and the county, therefore, has little or no power over those entities. The nearly yearlong conflict between parents and their local schools regarding mask mandates has emphasized parental rights over their kids’ physical and mental health decisions against a school system’s more universal “community” perspective.

Madison Storment, 11, who will be attending Marina Village Middle School in the fall, takes the podium to address the Board of Supervisors. "We should not have masks mandatory anymore. They should be optional for all students." Turnboo said that “parents should have the right to determine the (health benefit or harm) to their children” and noted “a child has the right to an attorney.” Later in the session Turnboo shared his own experience, comparing breathing with a mask and without a mask during a clinical breathing exam. He described a 5-6% decrease in breathing efficiency, thus more “restricted breathing” when wearing a mask. A significant percentage of the speakers, mostly mothers, described the difficulty their children with autism or other educational “special needs” have experienced, not only with having to mask, but bullying by school staff and other students making fun if a child can’t comply. Several parents cited studies showing degrees of restricted breathing

due to the mask being worn during physical education or playtime. Others noted some research clearly indicates children are at low risk of contracting COVID-19 and represent a minimal threat to others. A speech and reading teacher noted the importance of visibility of both a student’s and teacher’s mouth and face for effective reading and speaking, especially in primary grades. A Union Mine High School student told supervisors she was “kicked out” of at least two classes during the year because she was unable to wear a mask due to severe health reactions. Mike Wilkes, business/ information technology teacher at Ponderosa High School, said he and others at the school oppose mask mandates. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel was the sole no vote.

Paintings from the National Academy of Design highlight 200 years of American art Elizabeth Baidoo Crocker Art Museum

he Crocker Art Museum announces For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design, an exhibit on view July 3 through Oct. 3. Organized by the American Federation of Arts and the National Academy of Design, For America is the first exhibition to highlight the fundamental characteristic of the national academy’s collection — the joint presentation of an artist’s portrait with her or his representative work. The exhibition’s 100 extraordinary paintings present not only a visual document of the academy’s membership but a unique history of American painting from 1809 to the present. From its founding in 1825 to the present, the academy has required all academicians to donate a representative work to the academy’s collection and from 1839 to 1994 the academy also required associates to present a portrait of themselves, whether painted by their own hand or that of a fellow artist.

wise-cracking, footstomping songs, including nine by Estrin (one co-written with Andersen), one each by Andersen and Farrell and one obscure cover. The album was produced by Estrin and Andersen and recorded at Andersen’s now famous Greaseland Studio. “‘Contemporary’ is the most fully realized expression of who Rick Estrin & The Nightcats really are and what we’re capable of as a band,” Estrin

said. “Recording at Andersen’s Greaseland Studio, we all had so much fun and were so relaxed, the ideas just started pouring in from all sides. I really expect this record to blow some minds.” The UK’s Blues & Rhythm writes, “Rick Estrin & The Nightcats have crafted an instantly identifiable sound. They serve up insightful, original blues combined with tough rock’n’ roll. This band is superb.” Rick Estrin & The Nightcats has

This summer ‘The play’s the thing’ with the Sac Shakespeare Festival News release SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Shakespeare Festival at Sacramento City College announces its 2021 season. With 2021 becoming its 54th year, the festival will present possibly Shakespeare’s most powerful and influential work, “Hamlet.” The production will be performed live by the actors outdoors at Sacramento City College and presented streaming online for the audience. Hamlet will preview on Thursday, July 8, opens on Friday, July 9 and performs through Saturday, July 24. Performances will be streaming live at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Each play of the Shakespeare Sideshows will be presented once on consecutive Sundays, July 11, 18 & 25, at 7:30 p.m. For more festival information and to purchase tickets go to SacramentoShakespeare.net. This will be the first Sac City College production

in over a year with actors performing together onstage. The production will be directed by SCC faculty member Lori Ann DeLappe-Grondin and will include faculty members Luther Hanson as Claudius and Christine Nicholson as Gertrude. DeLappe-Grondin is placing the play in a contemporary Danish court which is being threatened by a deadly worldwide virus. In addition to “Hamlet,” the festival will break with tradition by presenting three staged readings collectively titled Shakespeare Sideshows which are new plays inspired by Shakespeare’s work. Each reading will be presented once on the Sunday of each week of the festival. The new plays are “Snug the Lion, a Play,” “Henry IV, Part One, Restored? The William Davenant Version” and “Another As You Like It Reunion.” The three plays are written by festival director Luther Hanson who will be directing the staged readings as well.

Crocker names curator of ceramics Elizabeth Baidoo Crocker Art Museum SACRAMENTO — The Crocker Art Museum announces Rachel Gotlieb, Ph.D., as the first Ruth Rippon Curator of Ceramics. The Crocker’s international ceramics collection is one of the largest in the United States and includes works dating from prehistoric to contemporary periods. Gotlieb, a leading ceramics specialist, will oversee acquisitions, exhibitions and scholarship and help bring the collection to even greater prominence nationally and internationally. Gotlieb’s role is a new position established through the generosity of Anne and Malcolm McHenry in honor of Ruth Rippon (b. 1927, Sacramento), the influential California State University, Sacramento, professor who has long been integral in shaping the Northern California ceramics tradition. “The Sacramento region has long played an important role in the

Rachel Gotlieb will oversee the Crocker’s ceramics collection. development of ceramic arts and especially today as clay has emerged as one of the most exciting media in contemporary art, we are pleased to welcome Rachel to the museum,” said Lial A. Jones, the museum’s Mort and Marcy Friedman director & CEO. “She will further the Crocker’s collecting

and scholarship in this area and will support the elevation of ceramics as one of the museum’s key focus areas.” “The ceramics collection at the Crocker precedes itself, as it is well known among scholars, curators, collectors and enthusiasts throughout North America,” said

Gotlieb, a modern and contemporary specialist with a particular interest in 19th-century ceramics. “I think what differentiates the collection is that it is embedded in a prestigious California museum and I look forward to increasing access to its diverse and expansive collection.” Previously, Gotlieb was the adjunct curator and the former chief curator at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto, among the few museums globally to be focused on ceramics, where she advised on acquisitions and donations and lectured on 19th-century, modern and contemporary ceramics and design. Notably, she directed the installation of a monumental glazed ceramic sculpture in front of the Gardiner by artist Jun Kaneko; curated Piece by Piece (2015), the first museum presentation in Canada of acclaimed British ceramic artist Clare Twomey; True Nordic (2016-17), a landmark survey ■

Sacramento Region Community Foundationsponsored virtual exhibit highlights work by regional artists who explore themes of social justice The artworks of 35 professional and emerging artists are featured on a new website and virtual exhibition by Sacramento State’s Center on Race, Immigration and Social Justice, supported by a grant from the foundation. Visit crisj.org to see the art. The exhibit, Un/Equal Freedoms:

Expressions for Social Justice, highlights the work of local artists across mediums — including painting, drawing, mixed media, dance, music, spoken word and poetry — and explores issues such as social, political and economic disparities, and barriers to freedom and opportunity. “The main purpose of this project was to disseminate critical knowledge pertaining to social justice and present visions of a more just future,” said Richard Falcon, a member of the subcommittee that produced the exhibit during the exhibit’s launch. “And you’ll see that in the works.”

Napa Valley Film Festival returns News release

n SPEED BUMP by Dave Coverly

Cinema Napa Valley and the Napa Valley Film Festival in conjunction with Cameo Cinema present the annual, outdoor Sunset Cinema film series. The evening of film, food and wine under the stars this summer includes Pixar’s “Soul” on July 9 and Apple original film “CODA” on Aug. 6. The screenings, which start at dusk, will take place on the lawn of the Charles Krug Winery. In Disney and Pixar’s “Soul,” a middle-school band teacher named Joe Gardner makes one small misstep, taking him from the streets of New

York City to The Great Before —a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth and where he meets a precocious soul. In the Apple Original Film “CODA,” 17-year-old Ruby is the sole hearing member of a deaf family — a CODA, child of deaf adults. Her life revolves around acting as an interpreter for her parents and working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis

Your Trip includes:

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t always get away when you want to. Anyone can accept a pleasant moment they wanted, planned and expected. It’s how people behave in the unexpected moments that really tells a fuller story. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If only you had unlimited time and attention. Alas, you’ll give all you have, and it will be more than enough. Your first priority is to invest in the ones who need it most. Then give to the replenishers who give back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The lines that delineate responsibility are like map boundaries. While many can agree where they are in theory, it’s different on the ground, and much depends on whom you ask. Good communication saves the day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day presents you with a fascinating balance of opposites and, being a sensitive and astute observer of life, you’ll thrill to the “accidental” grace of happenstance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Between the archives of past capers and the plans and models for future endeavors is a tense line of thought, vibrating like a violin string as the bow of your imagination pulls across the possibilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though you think planning is often half the fun of doing a thing, some of your favorite plans are loose -- more like a list of options. You’ll investigate new ones now. This list is becoming a work of art!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve noticed a particular pattern of yours -- not exactly a bad habit, but it’s not doing you any good either! And now you’ll find a juicy reason to knock it off -- quick and painless -- because the rewards of doing so are rich. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The subject might be narrow, but the way you think about it is broad indeed. Lately, you may even feel that you’re so focused on a subject that it dominates your thoughts, but don’t worry; a breakthrough is coming. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s common in the animal world, but when a human baby walks before crawling, it’s a developmental rarity. You’ll soon echo the metaphor with an extraordinary move. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Like children at a party who go wild when the parents leave the room, your thoughts have all kinds of feral fun once the uptight prefrontal cortex gets out of the way. Today brings vivid fantasies and dreams. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It doesn’t matter how old you are in body. In your head, you are young, resilient, creative and filled with wonder. From this fresh place, you will solve a very adult problem. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unprepared? Great. Clueless? That’s even better. After all, knowing a lot about what you’re about to embark on could hinder your progress. The best state for learning will be one of hopeful naivete.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from the University of Toronto; a master’s degree in design history from the Victoria & Albert Museum at the Royal College of Art, London, and a Ph.D. in art history from the Queens University, Kingston, Ontario.

Ceramic arts conference The Crocker also recently announced that it will play a major role at the 2022 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts Conference, bringing thousands of clay artists to host city Sacramento. The conference theme, Fertile Ground, refers to the many influential ceramists who have worked in our area and Sacramento’s position as an agricultural powerhouse. During the run of the conference (March 16-19, 2022), the Crocker will feature four clay exhibitions, including Stephen De Staebler: Masks and Monumental Figures; Hands and Earth: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics; The Candy Store: Funk, Nut and Other Art

With a Kick, devoted to the Candy Store Gallery in Folsom, which between 1962-92 sold humorous, irreverent art by local artists, many of whom worked in clay and are nationally acclaimed today. The fourth exhibition, Belonging, is a show organized in partnership with NCECA and guest-curated by Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, a New York and Los Angeles-based curator, writer and arts administrator of contemporary art and craft, that will focus on the themes of belonging and identity. The exhibition explores the coded ways in which people navigate inhospitable environments, push back against oppressive systems that deny belonging and the role of community in fostering inclusion.

Estrin

Continued from B3

– Harmonica and the prestigious Band of the Year (for Rick Estrin & The Nightcats). On stage, the band’s ability to deliver an unpredictable, no-holds-barred show is unmatched. “People don’t go out to see people who look like themselves. They want to see something special,” Estrin said. “I was schooled in this business to be a showman and that’s what you get when you come to see us perform. We know how to put on a show. I feel sorry for anyone who has to follow us.” For more than 30 years and nine albums, Estrin fronted Little Charlie & The Nightcats, flawlessly combining his songs, vocals and harmonica with

“Rick Estrin sings and writes songs like the brightest wiseguy in all of bluesland and blows harmonica as if he learned at the knee of Little Walter.” — DownBeat Little Charlie Baty’s one-of-a-kind guitar excursions. The band won international acclaim and toured the world repeatedly. With Baty’s retirement from touring in 2008, Estrin took over leadership of the band. He knew the only way to replace Baty’s mashup of blues, jazz and roots rock was to find someone with an equally daredevil guitar approach. As luck would have it, Kid Andersen, who had

been working with another harp legend, Charlie Musselwhite, became available. “Kid’s a fearless nut on the guitar,” said Estrin. “He’s really the only guy who could fit in with us.” The new band charged out of the gate with “Twisted” in 2009, following up with “One Wrong Turn” in 2012, “You Asked For It — Live!” in 2014 and “Groovin’ In Greaseland” in 2016.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 095735-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
