County’s own at athletic top Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County supervisors recognized local, powerhouse athletes last week — Bryce Mefford and Ian Book. A county resolution marks the exceptional achievements that have led the athletes to the Olympics and National Football League.

Mefford, an Oak Ridge High School alumnus, was named Sierra Marlin of the Year in 2015 and 2016 for the Sierra Marlins Swim Team. Mefford swam all four years of his high school career with the Trojans and helped the the boys team win the CIF State Swim Championships in 2016 and 2017.

CDFW lands to get fire resiliency treatment California Department of Fish and Wildlife The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has undertaken the largest wildfire protection and resiliency effort in its history, working to safeguard nearly all of its wildlife areas, ecological reserves and the surrounding communities from wildfire ahead of peak wildfire season this summer and fall. Wildfire resiliency work is under way at dozens of CDFW-owned properties statewide. These efforts include creating fire breaks, removing brush and other wildfire
fuel, thinning overgrown vegetation, expanding livestock grazing and conducting controlled burns when conditions safely permit. The unprecedented undertaking is the result of Senate Bill 85, the Wildfire Forest and Resilience Early Action Package, state legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in April that authorized $536 million in wildfire protection and resiliency spending in the current fiscal year. CDFW is budgeted to receive $15 million of those funds to better n

Federal Bureau of Investigation News release The Federal Bureau of Investigation Sacramento Field Office is warning the public to be on alert for a phone scam involving unsolicited calls received from someone claiming to represent the FBI. In June 2021 the Placer County Sheriff ’s Office received a report from a Lincoln resident who suffered a financial loss of $45,500. The victim received an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be with the FBI, who advised that the victim’s identity was allegedly used in a money laundering and drug smuggling operation. According to the caller, the only way to avoid prosecution was to purchase gift cards from various stores and provide credit card numbers. “A call from any official law enforcement agency can set anyone’s nerves on edge and perpetrators of scams know how to exploit those feelings” said Special Agent in Charge Sean Ragan. “We want the communities we serve to know that the FBI will never place an unsolicited call to demand personal information or payment. We also invite the community to call our main office at (916) 746-7000 to verify if the claims a caller makes are true.” These types of scam calls share a common theme. The perpetrator advises an unsuspecting citizen of pending prosecution for an alleged crime or an

account that was compromised by criminals and used for illicit transactions. The perpetrator may request personal information and often demands fees to be paid immediately to avoid arrest, prosecution or financial harm. Caller identification displays may not be correct. In some cases, the telephone number displayed may appear to be the telephone number of an official government office. This is a technique called “spoofing.” Always be wary of the information provided by an unsolicited caller. If the caller offers a phone number to verify the information, the FBI advises against using it. Instead, look up the official phone number and call the agency, organization or business to verify the details of the call. A legitimate caller will encourage the public to take time to verify. Anyone who believes they were targeted in a phone scam should report the incident immediately using the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center website at ic3.gov. The following tips are provided to help the public navigate unsolicited phone calls: • Never provide personal information including banking information, Social Security numbers, or other personally identifiable information to anyone that you do not know. • Never obtain gift cards to provide remote payment. • Always approach any unsolicited telephone call with caution. • Always feel free to discontinue or “hang up” any unsolicited call. • Always contact law enforcement with any concerns. More information about government impersonation schemes and other online fraud schemes can be found at fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/ common-fraud-schemes.

Take Care Tahoe is looking for up to 50 ambassadors to talk to tourists at popular destinations around the Tahoe Basin about environmental impacts of heavy visitation.
Ambassador program aims to address tourism impacts Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Last summer, the Lake Tahoe Basin, Truckee and surrounding mountain communities saw a dramatic increase in visitation as travelers sought out the great outdoors. While the mountains provided a much-needed respite, it quickly became evident that many visitors weren’t familiar with leave no trace practices. Trash piled up outside of proper receptacles or was left behind altogether. Trails were heavily impacted, trail etiquette ignored and wildlife disregarded. This summer six organizations are launching ambassador programs in locations around the Lake Tahoe region to directly address and reduce tourismrelated environmental impacts the region regularly experiences. Every weekend throughout the summer, up to 50 ambassadors will be positioned at popular recreation sites to provide information to Tahoe-Truckee area visitors about the importance of proper trash disposal, trail and wildlife etiquette, wildfire safety and other leave no trace principles. While each program is independently managed, ambassadors from each program will wear the same Take Care Tahoe branded uniform to demonstrate a united, consistent approach to the education effort. “We’re excited to launch such a robust collection of ambassador programs during this inaugural summer pilot season,” said Crew Stover, program and outreach coordinator at the Tahoe Fund, a Take Care Tahoe partner in a press release.

“The intention with this effort is to help educate visitors, particularly those who may be new to recreating in the outdoors. The Tahoe Fund is proud to have played an important funding role in getting this new initiative launched with our partners.” Aimed at addressing increasing tourism impacts, the Sierra Nevada Alliance will employ and coordinate 13 students to interact with the public at busy locations in the Tahoe Basin. Their role will be to promote environmental stewardship with the goal of changing behaviors. In addition SNA will employ an additional Climate Action Corps Fellow as an ambassador to help build capacity and coordinate regionally in partnership with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, Town of Truckee, and Trout Unlimited. As the number of hikers, bikers and equestrians on the Tahoe Rim Trail continues to grow, trampled vegetation, trash, fires and negative wildlife encounters have unfortunately also increased. With support from the Tahoe Fund, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association has launched the Taskforce Trailhead Program to help reach trail users and share essential outdoor ethics. Volunteers interested in sharing their passion for trails are needed and can learn more about how to get involved at tahoerimtrail.org/volunteer/ taskforcetrailhead. Spearheaded by the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition, ambassadors will engage directly with cyclists at highuse bike trails. Ambassadors will share information with passing cyclists

Book’s collegiate accolades include being the first quarterback in Notre Dame history with at least 2,500 passing yards, 500 rushing yards and 30 touchdown passes in a single season along with being the first quarterback in school history to have multiple games in the same season with five touchdown passes. Book was also named Notre Dame’s Offensive Player of the Year. Notre Dame went on to achieve an undefeated regular 2020 season lead by Book, ending his starting quarterback career with a 30-5 record, the most wins by a single Notre Dame quarterback in the program’s 132-year history.

If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Door open to taxpayerfunded elections
A
common complaint among the taxpaying public is that the government spends taxpayer dollars for political ads. In theory, this is supposed to be illegal, but it still happens all too frequently. JON COUPAL Up until now, the Fair Political Practices Commission has been an aggressive enforcer against these expenditures. For example, the FPPC imposed a $1.3 million fine against Los Angeles County for using taxpayer funds for political ads touting Measure H, a sales tax increase on the ballot in 2017. The FPPC also created an “ad-watch” program by which citizens can report government-financed communications that they suspect crosses the line into political advocacy. The big fine against L.A. County was precipitated by a complaint filed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. It was hoped that the fine levied by FPPC would serve as a warning to government entities in California that they must obey all state laws and regulations relating to both reporting campaign expenditures as well as providing disclosures on campaign advertising. But it now appears that the FPPC has backtracked. No doubt frightened by the big fine against L.A. County, the California State Association of Counties and the California School Boards Association sent a letter to the FPPC asking for clarification, or perhaps for a loophole. The organizations asked if the Political Reform Act and FPPC’s own regulations actually created “a per se reportable campaign expenditure whenever public agencies engage in communications regarding ballot measures through the means of television, radio and electronic media (including social media), regardless of the content of the communications.” HJTA, given its interest in this issue, filed formal comments arguing that the FPPC’s own regulations as well case law and statutory law were unambiguous: Election season communications regarding ballot measures via paid television, radio and electronic media ads constitute campaign expenditures subject to reporting and disclosure requirements. Our reasoning is that counties and school boards do not use television or radio ads or paid social media ads as a routine method of communicating with citizens or parents but rather have relied ■

Letters to the Editor ‘Grapes of Wrath’ return? EDITOR: travel quite a bit around California and can’t help but notice an abundance of motorhomes and camp trailers lined up in back areas in the predominantly industrial centers. They don’t look very healthy and I’d hate to have to live that way, but who am I to judge. Recently, numerous trailers and motorhomes have started squatting on Berry Avenue where my warehouse is. This is a very congested area. With the FedEx facility and numerous waste facilitates being on that road it seems like only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. I was working Sunday when a couple in their 50s asked if they could park their trailer on my property? Of all the nerve, I thought, but I asked why they were camping in this area. They told me that they’d been out of work for months and had lost their home. That they had went back to work for the Sac Bee and needed to be close to work to save on transportation. I can’t help but feel like America is in the same situation that John Steinbeck wrote about in the “Grapes of Wrath.” Many good people have lost their livelihood and are forced to live in squalor just to survive. My grandparents survived the Great Depression but were permanently scarred by the experience. I do not have the ability to remedy this situation but maybe the least I can do is convey some empathy to those who are worse off than myself. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

Encryption EDITOR: any people do not understand the importance of encryption in our modernday world so please indulge an old world metaphor. In a European castle, there were many mechanisms put in place to keep people out. Each defense was a mechanism to delay the attackers.
M
The wall prevented people from having an easy entrance. Machicolations (protrusions from walls that have holes in the bottom of them) stopped attackers from getting to the wall by hurling things like rocks or arrows down on the unsuspecting victims. Many times castles were placed on hills or in the middle of a moat. This made it near impossible for siege machines to get into strategic positions. Much like castles, secure devices have layers of defenses put in place to secure information. One of these defenses is called encryption. In a society where a large population has a phone with them at all times, protecting data is vital. Encryption is a very successful defense mechanism. It can protect anything from your Social Security number to your current location. Many people believe it works too well and that there should be a backdoor into the system. Unfortunately doing this breaks the entire system. The backdoor that has been promoted is having a central database of encryption keys. There are many times in which a database has been hacked and it has affected a large number of people. In 2013 Target’s database, holding the information of millions of credit cards, was hacked. On April 3, 2021, Facebook’s database, holding the personal information of hundreds of millions of people, was hacked. Making a database full of encryption keys will just make it a target. Encryption keys hold everything about you: Your bank account, Social Security number, location, etc. Making a window for people to gain access to this kind of information is unethical. “If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the tree.” — Kahlil Gibran SIMON CAISSE Scout Troop 550, Rescue WANT TO SEE YOUR LETTER TO THE EDITOR?

Facts you didn’t know about the Declaration of Independence
W
hen we visited Philadelphia in 2004 one of the serendipitous stops we made was in the big Episcopal Christ Church downtown. It was beautiful. All white with columns and with clear glass windows MICHAEL — no stained glass. As was common back east the pews were boxed sections. Undoubtedly, families paid for their section. It was a very light-colored wood trimmed with a darker wood. There was a volunteer from the church who provided some background commentary. That’s when we learned that the Declaration of Independence had been announced to the congregation from the pulpit on July 2, 1776, the day the Continental Congress voted on it. July 4 was when it was officially adopted and published in the newspapers. John Adams thought July 2 should have been the day to celebrate rather than July 4. The second president of the United States died on July 4, 1826. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, died on the same day as John Adams. It’s not the biggest church in Philadelphia. That would be the
cathedral with stained glass windows and the whole shebang. But Christ Church, like the old North Church in Boston, has a large, two-story, clear window behind the altar with a view of trees. Christ Church is also the oldest Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, RAFFETY built in 1744, with the steeple added in 1754. The church was popular with the Continental Congressional delegates. Fifteen signers of the Declaration of Independence were members of Christ Church, including Benjamin Franklin. A real estate agent who attends our historical Episcopal Church of Our Saviour in Placerville sent me some “Fun facts regarding 4th of July and Our Declaration of Independence.” Our church began construction on Coloma Street in June 1865 and was completed in December 1865 at a cost of $10,500. The church was designed by architect William Patton of San Francisco. From the “Fun Facts” come the following fascinating tidbits: Only the president of Congress, John Hancock, and Secretary Charles Thompson had signed the document

as of July 4. On Aug. 2, 1776, it was copied over onto parchment and signed by most members of Congress, but not all. Five members of Congress would sign later, one as late as 1778. I guess the last signer wanted to see whether the revolution had a chance of success. By that time the French had entered the war on our side. When someone asks you to put down “your John Hancock” they are referring to a big signature. Thomas Jefferson authored the Declaration of Independence between June 11 and June 28, with only slight changes by Ben Franklin and John Adams. Two others assigned to the drafting committee were Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston. Richard Henry Lee from Virginia on June 7, 1776, presented the resolution to Congress that the “United Colonies” be free and independent states. Some of his descendants include Henry “Light Horse” Harry Lee, a lieutenant colonel in the Revolutionary War, and Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general. Interestingly, Zachary Taylor is one of the descendants of Richard Henry Lee. There was another Lee that served as governor of Maryland. Richard Henry Lee served as a U.S. senator from Virginia from 1789 to 1792 and served as president pro tempore of the Senate the following
year. Another Lee was chief of the U.S. Olympic delegation to the Beijing Olympics. The Lee house in Arlington, Va., was originally built by George Washington Parke Custis, the only grandson of Martha Custis Washington. George Washington adopted him as his only son. This same G.W.P Custis married Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Their only surviving child was Mary Anna Custis who married Robert E. Lee in 1831. And that’s how the house became known as the Robert E. Lee House and how his property became a cemetery for Union soldiers and later all military burials. The first celebration of July 4 took place in Philadelphia in 1777. Massachusetts was the first state to make it a holiday in 1781. The Constitution was written in 1787 and ratified in 1789. Congress made July 4 a federal holiday in 1870 and in 1941 made it a “paid” holiday. Hope you enjoyed yesterday and got paid if you are still working for a living. It remains a special day in our history, along with the Constitution and later the Bill of Rights. These documents define our country and form the core of our American culture. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

on low-cost traditional governmental means of communication such as email, cell phone texts, banners on county websites, on-hold recordings on county phones, posts on county social media accounts and printed inserts in billing envelopes. The only time government entities spend money on radio, television or paid social media advertising is when they are trying to influence the outcome of an election. Unfortunately, the FPPC commissioners decided that whether TV, radio and electronic media advertising is reportable to the public will depend on the content of the communication. To be reportable, it must “unambiguously urge a particular election result.” Irrespective of how rigorously the FPPC’s applies this standard, the Commission’s opinion will no doubt tempt government entities to push the envelope in the use of taxpayer dollars to influence election outcomes. We are certain to see big dollars spent — of your money — to influence voters to raise taxes even higher. But taxpayers are not without alternative remedies. While the FPPC’s jurisdiction is limited to enforcing the disclosure of campaign spending and the timely reporting of those expenditures, the courts — both federal and state — are not so limited. Taxpayers have the right to bypass the FPPC when it fails to act and proceed directly to Superior Court
for claims asserted under the First Amendment of both the U.S. and California Constitutions. The Free Speech clauses of the federal and state Constitutions prohibit the use of governmentally compelled monetary contributions (including taxes) to support or oppose political campaigns because, as noted by the California Supreme Court, “Such contributions are a form of speech and compelled speech offends the First Amendment.” Moreover, “use of the public treasury to mount an election campaign which attempts to influence the resolution of issues which our Constitution leaves to the ‘free election’ of the people (see Const., art. II, § 2) … presents a serious threat to the integrity of the electoral process.” We have little doubt that, as we enter the 2022 election cycle, cities, counties, and special districts will use public funds for political advocacy. Fortunately, prosecuting such violations of law was the very reason the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association created a new Public Integrity Project which will be run by HJTA’s affiliated 501(c) (3) organization, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation. HJTF’s Public Integrity Project has already proven to be an additional enforcement tool against illegal expenditures of public funds and other violations of law that hurt taxpayers and voters. Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

protect its lands, which total about 1 million acres. Additional wildfire funding is expected in the 2021-22 state budget. “This is a huge moment for the department, and we’re really striving for smart projects that will benefit wildlife habitats and the communities surrounding department lands,” said Stafford Lehr, CDFW deputy director for Wildlife and Fisheries. “We’ve already identified more than 40 projects, many of which have been started and a few already completed. We’ll be able to hire some new people and buy some new equipment that will not only help protect our own properties but better protect our neighbors as well. In many instances, this wildfire work has the added benefit of improving native plant and wildlife habitat on our properties.” Among the CDFW wildfire resiliency projects planned or currently under way: At the Pine Hill Ecological Reserve in El Dorado County, Cal Fire crews have begun thinning dense stands of manzanita, creating pathways for botanical surveys and preparing a 100-foot fire break along bordering roadways. Controlled burns are planned for the fall and winter when conditions safely permit. The work is expected to benefit several rare and listed plant species found in the ecological reserve. At the Cosumnes River Preserve in Sacramento County, CDFW is preparing its properties and working with other landowners such as The Nature Conservancy to accommodate more livestock grazing. CDFW is installing new, wildlife-friendly fencing on its pastureland to accommodate cattle. Cattle will help reduce grassland fire threat and make the pastures more appealing for migrating sandhill cranes and white-fronted geese. Other parcels in more-forested and dense areas of the 55,000-acre preserve are being prepared for the arrival of sheep and goats. The Slinkard/Little Antelope Wildlife Area in Mono County suffered extensive wildfire damage in 2020. Approximately, 3,800 acres of the 11,700-acre wildlife area burned, including one building. CDFW will remove the burned-out structure and initiate habitat restoration that will benefit migrating deer among other species. At the Santa Rosa Plain Vernal Pool Ecological Reserve in Sonoma County, CDFW is mowing firebreaks around the ecological reserve border to prevent wildfire spread into adjacent neighborhoods. Sonoma County has experienced devastating wildfires in recent years. Mowing has begun at the 6,100-acre Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area in San Diego County to thin excess vegetation and lessen the wildfire threat along the bordering Highway 94. The area has a history of wildfires and mowing will help fire crews better access the property in the event of a future wildfire.

where she was introduced to John Rogers High School’s allstar quarterback, Gary, by one of his teammates. They talked and seemed to hit it off — though Carol did refer to him as “that guy at John Rogers that likes me” to her friends for a few weeks because she could not remember Gary’s name. They dated through the end of high school and married in the summer before their junior year of college on June 15, 1956. They have been together ever since. When asked the secret to the longevity of their marriage, they agree that it comes down to communication and compromise. “It’s a give and take. I can’t expect to always be right and Carol can’t expect to always be right. You’ve got to listen and compromise sometimes,” Gary said. Carol mentions how they like
ALASKA
to cook together in the kitchen and how they share so many interests. They love to dance, they both share a love for sports and these days they often just like to reminisce. “In our lives, you know, we’ve had quite a number of phases,” Gary said. “We moved from Washington after a few years and then down to the Placerville area and that’s where we were for 60 years.” This year’s anniversary marks the start of a new phase for the Kenworthys, as it was the first time in almost 60 years that they celebrated it not as residents of Placerville. After a series of “one more years,” Gary and Carol finally decided to pack up and move to a smaller place in El Dorado Hills. They are both still getting used to the smaller house and the idea of not being in Placerville any longer, though they are glad they are still nearby

enough to visit. The impact the Kenworthys have had on Placerville is beyond measure. Countless athletes were encouraged and inspired by Gary, who is still called “Coach” by many to this day. The Dry Diggins Dolphins swim team exists because Gary was there to help create it and then coach it for 30 years. The very geography of El Dorado High School would not be what it is today if not for Gary, who cleared trees himself to put in the baseball fields where they stand. Both Carol and Gary fondly recount the students they have known from sports tournaments to trips to Washington, D.C., with seniors at the high school. The Kenworthys have four children, 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and hundreds of others whose lives they have touched in their 65 years of marriage.

REGISTRATION FORM for Golf Tournament – July 24, 2021
■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want the goodness you felt before. But for some reason, you can’t get there in the same way. Don’t worry. Just try something else. There are hundreds of routes to the same feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Consult others before you initiate action. Even when you have enough information to respond, it will benefit you to hold back until the right moment -- the moment you can take control of the situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Because you know someone very well, you don’t have to try hard to understand. You hear it all when they say everything, and when they say nothing, several simultaneous meanings are deliberately implied. You get every one. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In these early days of a project, the endeavor is wholly unproven. Either give yourself margins of error that are so wide, they may as well be the page itself or put up the equivalent of bumpers in a bowling lane. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You express yourself hoping that others will unanimously support and embrace your truth. But the good effects of your honesty happen regardless of their reaction due to the powerful, gravity-defying effects of truth-telling. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Beware of those who give their opinion like it’s gold, like it’s enriching to all on whom it is bestowed, like it’s essential to the economy. The ones to watch are too busy living the principle to stop and hand out all the “gold.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What makes humble work so satisfying is its obvious completion. It’s easy to tell when the floor is swept or the window is spotless. You’ll deal in complex and difficult work. Make luck for yourself by emptying the trash. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Having preferences can be costly. Needing things to be a certain way can cage you into a position of having to fight for what you want -- or just having to wait, save, trade, negotiate, work for it. What if you wanted less? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life feels like a maze, but at least it’s a maze you get to set up for yourself. Arrange it so it’s easy to move through. What you can you do to make your environment conducive to moving forward? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be tapped by the challenge. Does it seem like a bad time? There is never a comfortable time to stretch because stretching is, by definition, a discomfort, though one that you could learn to crave. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A golf club could have multiple purposes. It could be used as a weapon, a hammer, meat tenderizer, rhythm instrument, etc. But of course, it is best suited to playing golf. Apt applications give tools their highest value. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because you can’t do a thing perfectly, or even well, doesn’t mean you can’t do it at all. Being willing to get a little messy in the process will be the key to your overall success.
