A Reno man and woman suspected of stealing packages off the front porches of Placerville area homes were apprehended Tuesday after reportedly leading officers in a chase that ended poolside in a Schnell School Road area backyard. A Barret Drive homeowner was alerted that afternoon when their surveillance system captured two suspects stealing packages from their front porch, according LEE DUCKETT to a news release from the Placerville Police Department. The homeowner was able to provide a description of the suspects’ vehicle to police, who located the red Chevy Malibu on JESSICA NICHOLS Airport Road and Broadway. Police say the pair then sped off in the Malibu in an attempt to evade officers. Just short of a mile down the road officers watched the Malibu pull into the parking lot of the Golden Waffle Cafe, where they were able to bring the vehicle to a stop. Jessica Nichols, 33, and Lee Duckett, 36, reportedly exited the vehicle and fled from officers on foot. Nichols was quickly apprehended while Duckett took off for the El Dorado Trail, where he found an entrance to the Louisiana Schnell School campus, according to the news release. Staff at the kindergartenthrough-fifth-grade school alerted police, who were able to track Duckett down, reportedly hiding out in a swimming pool on property adjacent to campus. Both Duckett and Nichols were booked into the jail in Placerville on suspicion of grand theft and resisting arrest. Police say that due to recent bail reform neither Duckett nor Nichols had a set bail and were cited and released by jail staff. Officers reportedly recovered several stolen packages and a set of golf clubs. All of the stolen property has been returned.
County housing plan to be workshopped El Dorado County CAO El Dorado County’s housing supply will be the focus of a public workshop and joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission Monday. The discussion will center on the county’s draft Housing Element and how the county will provide an adequate housing supply in the future. The workshop will take place at 9 a.m. in Building A of the government center in Placerville, 330 Fair Lane, and via Zoom. “El Dorado County’s housing boom began with the California Gold Rush and
continues today,” said Board Chair John Hidahl. “With unmatched rural beauty, endless recreational opportunities and award-winning public schools, the county provides an unparalleled quality of life. Those attributes continue to create a high demand for housing as the Sacramento region grows while the population in California overall has declined.” El Dorado County is tackling the issue of housing head-on with a variety of policies and programs in its recently released draft Housing Element update, which covers the unincorporated area of the county for 2021-29. State law requires
local jurisdictions to update the housing element of their general plan every eight years to identify policy or zoning changes that may be needed to accommodate enough housing for current and future residents across all income ranges. The Housing Element establishes the county’s strategy for improving and preserving the housing stock, expanding housing opportunities for various economic segments and, along with the Land Use Element, provides policy guidance for decision-making related to ■

Nancy Suzanne Michaelis-Kerhlikar July 30, 1951 - July 1, 2021
Nancy Suzanne MichaelisKerhlikar was born July 30, 1951 to Jim and Jean (Gilbertson) Michaelis in San Francisco, Calif. She graduated high school in Newcastle, Wyo. in 1969 and attended the University of Wyoming. Nancy was married to Jed Rambin in 1980 in Gillette, Wyo., and they had a son Josh born in 1981. Nancy and Jed divorced in 1998. She moved to Sacramento in 1998 where she met future husband, John Kerhlikar in 1999. They married Nov. 1, 2011. She is survived by husband John Kerhlikar, son Josh Rambin; step daughters-in-law, Jamie (Kerhlikar) Price; Jodie (Kerhlikar) Robinson; and step son-in-law, Johnathan Kerhlikar; grandchild, Jett Rambin; step grandchildern Libby and Maggie Price and Joran Kerhlikar. Her surviving siblings are: sister, Jane Sukut, Bozeman, Mont. and brothers Jim, Tim and Kim Michaelis, from Green Valley, Ariz.; Loveland, Colo.; and San Diego, Calif. Nancy worked for the engineering firm of CH2MHill in Sacramento as a graphic designer from 1998 until retirement in 2018. Her hobbies included travel, golf, reading and painting. The above doesn’t due justice to the remarkable lady Nancy was. We all know what a beautiful person she was, but some didn't know how well read she was. She had the largest collection of books (thousands) that may rival some small libraries. And that doesn’t include the hundreds of books on her Kindle. She was the most approachable and least judgmental person you would ever meet. She was a great listener and loved a good personal story from anyone and everyone. Her letters to friends were ‘frameable’ - she was a great writer. She brought life and fun to every party and would always be up for a night out. John and she traveled all over the U.S., Canada and Europe many times over and even ventured to Africa and Madagascar. All will miss her dearly. A memorial celebration is planned on her 70th birthday, this July 30 at the Cielo Winery in Shingle Springs. RSVP at j-g-k@sbcglobal.net.

CHP tallies Drivers taking photos cited in SLT speed tickets Tahoe Daily Tribune
California Highway Patrol Press release During the weekend of June 25-27 the California Highway Patrol partnered with 11 other state police agencies as part of a Western States Traffic Safety Coalition traffic safety campaign. The campaign focused on the enforcement of speeding violations and was meant to give motorists “a dozen reasons not to speed.” Throughout the collaborative effort CHP officers issued a total of 8,389 speeding citations statewide; 113 of those were on the West Slope of El Dorado County. In California last year crashes caused by unsafe speed killed 500 people and injured more than 57,000 others. CHP advises drivers to do their part and keep those on roadways safe by slowing down and driving at a safe and legal speed.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A big rig rollover in South Lake Tahoe Monday was injury-free but authorities wrote citations for distracted drivers taking photos of the scene. The California Highway Patrol responded to a solo traffic collision at about 2:10 p.m. on Mt. Rainier Drive at North Upper Truckee. Upon arriving, CHP officers discovered a crashed big rig on its side and said the driver took a left turn too fast and overturned onto the shoulder. There were no injuries reported. While at the scene, CHP officials said officers

EDHCSD GM gets award, salary bonus Sel Richard Staff writer El Dorado Hills Community Services District General Manager Kevin Loewen was recently recognized as California Special District Association’s General Manager of the Year, an award that was followed up with a one-time merit pay increase of $13,458 by the EDHCSD Board of Directors last Thursday evening. Loewen said he was shocked to receive the award, as the CSDA application was submitted without his knowledge. “I’m honored and humbled by all the kind acknowledgements
related to achievements over the past year(s),” he said. “Now I feel like I need to work even harder and get more done.” During a June 10 closed session meeting the board reviewed Loewen’s performance and determined that an increase for up to $15,000 could be considered during an upcoming open session. Originally slated for a July 1 special meeting, the decision and timing was protested by community members and subsequently rescheduled to last week’s regular meeting. Resident Andy Nevis asked for a more comprehensive analysis behind the
compensation. “If a bonus is to be given, there should be clear justification for how the bonus benefits not only the recipient but the taxpayers and residents of the district,” he wrote in an email to the board. “That justification is lacking in your agenda packet.” El Dorado County Auditor-Controller Joe Harn also expressed concern and asked that the decision be postponed. “It would be helpful for members of the public monitoring your actions if the HR manager’s memo included the general manager’s current salary, recent salary history and other benefits provided to the
general manager,” he asserted. Harn referenced legal documents such as Government Code Section 54593, which warns that fringe benefits offered to local agency executives deserve particular scrutiny by the public. He then cited the California Constitution Article XI, Section 10(a), “A local government body may not grant extra compensation or extra allowance to a public officer, public employee or contractor after service has been rendered or a contract has been entered into and performed in whole or in part, or pay a claim under an agreement
KEVIN LOEWEN made without authority of law.” District staff clarified that the general manager’s salary is determined by the board based on industry standards and laid out criteria for exceptional performance, including process improvement ideas resulting in deliverables exceeding $50,000, the securing

California Matters
Should — and could — Gavin Newsom be recalled?
D
oes Gavin Newsom deserve to be recalled three years into his first term as governor of California? Now that the recall election has an official date, Sept. 14, the low-powered — or at least poorly financed DAN WALTERS — campaign to oust Newsom will face the governor’s lavishly funded defense. That includes billions of taxpayer dollars he’s doling out and highlighting in campaign ads to ingratiate himself with the voting public. Back to the main question. Does Newsom deserve to be fired? Yes and no. Certainly he’s guilty of blatant hypocrisy, such as attending, unmasked, a lavish birthday dinner for a lobbyist after admonishing Californians to avoid gatherings and wear masks to battle COVID19. Or commiserating on national television with parents of children forced to remain at home in “Zoom school” while his own children were attending a tony Does Gov. Gavin private school. Newsom deserved Certainly, too, his insistence on taking to be recalled three one-man control of years into his first the pandemic and term, and does his very erratic, terminally confusing, the recall have a decrees about what chance of success? Californians could and could not do are fodder for legitimate criticism. His unwillingness to confront powerful school unions as they resisted reopening the schools for well over a year is another blemish on his record. Finally, the blatantly self-serving legislation to speed up the recall election symbolizes the arrogance that has marked Newsom’s governorship. However, do these and other flaws, such as his unilateral ban on capital punishment after voters specifically refused to end it, warrant a recall election that will cost more than $200 million? Since Newsom would be seeking reelection anyway just a year later, it seems to waste money better spent on California’s many serious issues. Moreover, the recall campaign seems destined to fail, given Newsom’s relatively strong position

But the magic of entrepreneurship doesn’t depend on innovation. You don’t need to build a better mousetrap, or a better search engine, to succeed in business. It doesn’t take a new idea; it takes courage … Texas and one California legislator publicly told him, in so many words, “good riddance.” That’s a heartless statement considering the hundreds of thousands of people looking for work in our state and Mr. Musk’s proven ability to create enterprises that provide tens of thousands of jobs. It shows a complete misunderstanding of the economy. It shows an unwarranted hostility toward businesses and the people who build them. If we want to speed up our ascent from the depths of COVIDinduced economic devastation, we should take this moment in time to recognize the vital importance the brave men and women who take the risks needed to start a new venture. Simply put, entrepreneurs are heroes and government should treat them as such. California must look right now to remove barriers to their success. That means lower taxes, lower fees, fewer stifling regulations that bury them in paperwork and take them away from their mission and, in too
many cases, out of California. COVID-19 presented special challenges that call for special responses. The state that CEO Magazine rates the worst place to do business for more than a decade straight needs to look in the mirror and realize it can help its unemployed most by helping its employers. Gov. Gavin Newsom, himself a private business owner, should call a special session this fall on jobs and economic development, specifically with our entrepreneurs and small business owners in mind. Let’s put these heroes in a position to flourish — someone looking for a job right now is depending on their success. Sen. Ted Gaines (Ret.) was elected to represent the Board of Equalization’s 1st District.

in polling of voters, which is why he and the Legislature changed the rules for an earlier election. They didn’t want to risk that unforeseen events might damage him were the election to be held in October or November. If recall proponents — Republicans, mostly — were to have a fighting chance of success, they would need to coalesce behind one well-known, wellfinanced candidate to succeed Newsom, as demonstrated by California’s first and only gubernatorial recall, that of Gray Davis in 2003. Davis, who was more unpopular than Newsom is now, probably would have survived the recall had movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger not offered himself as a replacement. There were 135 would-be replacements on the 2003 ballot and we’re likely to have nearly 100 this year, but none has anywhere close to Schwarzenegger’s drawing power. A very weak Republican Party, a late-blooming sponsor of the recall, can’t even settle on one challenger and voters will be disinclined to vote for Newsom’s ouster if they don’t see a viable alternative. All in all, Newsom enters the official campaign phase of the recall in a very strong position to win, perhaps even by
a landslide. However, it’s not a sure thing because of the election’s unique dynamics. One factor will be how many voters will actually cast ballots, since California’s special elections are
notorious for their low turnouts. While polling consistently indicates Newsom’s strong position, “elections are ultimately determined by the voters who actually cast their
ballots,” as the Public Policy Institute of California notes in a recent analysis. PPIC’s polling has found that “likely voters who wanted to remove Governor Newsom were much more interested
in the recall than those who wanted to keep him in office. If the governor’s supporters remain less engaged in the upcoming election, then the recall could end up being closer than the polls to date
have indicated.” Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.
BBB warns of airfare scams News release SACRAMENTO — With the availability of COVID-19 vaccines travel is coming back. That’s great news for summer vacation plans ... and scammers. The Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker is receiving reports of con artists creating fake airline ticket booking sites or customer service numbers. BBB recommends that anyone buying airfare use caution and double-check URLs or phone numbers before providing credit card information.
Hibernation is finally over. It’s time to get out and recline in the name of recovery. Because vacationing here helps get our economy moving again. So, head to the beach or go city hopping. Dine out and shop local. Heck, try a weekend of wine tasting. You can sip and swirl in the name of civic pride.
How the scam works While doing an online search for cheap flights, travelers might come across what seems like a great deal with a major airline. When booking the flight — either through the website or by calling a customer support number — a confirmation message by email is received but upon closer examination of the email, a ticket was never actually included. In another version of this scam a flight is booked on a travel website offering deals on airfare. After paying for the flight by credit card victims get a call from the travel company claiming that there’s been a sudden price increase or an extra charge to finalize the booking. This is something a legitimate company would never do. In either case, travelers n

Leading drivers in the winged 360 sprint cars, Joel Myers Jr., Andy Forsberg and Tanner Carrick, will look to put more points on the board Saturday at Placerville Speedway.
Diverse four divisions coming to speedway Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway The championship battle resumes this Saturday at Placerville Speedway with winged 360 sprint cars, pure stocks, mini trucks and the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour all set to converge at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds-based quarter-mile. Following a week off for the U.S. Auto Club event last Saturday, local drivers and teams are chomping at the bit to get things back under way in Old Hangtown. The winged 360 sprint cars will contest their 10th event of the season Saturday. Sebastopol youngster Joel Myers Jr. continues to maintain a healthy 34-point lead in the standings over Andy Forsberg with five events remaining. The hottest driver as of late, however, has been Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick. The 19-year-old has captured the last two races and earned six top-five finishes in eight starts. Last time out with the winged 360s it was rookie driver Landon Brooks who turned heads, leading laps in the feature and ultimately finishing fifth at the checkered. The Yuba City driver will be gunning for another solid performance Saturday. Additional competitors looking to put their names toward the front of the field will include Andy Gregg, Shane Hopkins, Justin Bradway, CJ Humphreys and Jimmie Trulli. The pure stock division has been all about Nick Baldwin this season, who looks to continue his campaign Saturday. The Oakley competitor is fresh off his fifth victory of the year during the recent Fourth of July show and has extended his point lead to 50-markers over Diamond
Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson. Jonny Walsh, Ryan Peter and Stephanie Hanson complete the top five. This weekend’s event will be the 11th outing of 2021 for the pure stocks. The mini trucks are geared up for a return to the red clay and showcase a tight championship battle at the front. Rancho Cordova’s Mike Miller maintains a slim, two-point lead over Thomas Jensen going into Saturday. Rookie racer Wyatt Lakin out of Diamond Springs has battled through some adversity but still finds himself only six points behind Jensen for the top spot. The truckers will be back in action for the first time in more than a month. The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour will bring the electrifying competition of non-wing sprint cars back to Placerville for the second consecutive weekend. The back ‘em in sideways action of the Hunt Tour is always fun to watch on the bullring. Fair Oaks’ Jake Morgan, who suffered heartbreak on the final lap last week, claimed victory during the first appearance of the season for the tour back in April. The Placerville Speedway pit gate will open at noon, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3 p.m. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, qualifying and racing follows. For more information log onto placervillespeedway.com.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you sometimes resist authority, you also respect anything and anyone who can teach you. You’ll drop all resistance to road signs, guides and instructions. Life is made easier by simply following the directions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your powers of observation are so dialed in that you’re verging on the telepathic. Hearing what other people are thinking is not the hard part. The hard part is verifying your correctness in the matter. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Boring the audience is a terrible sin in the world of entertainment and the norm of polite society. You’ll liven things up with charm and snappiness, and employ acting skill, too, as you tolerate the long-windedness of others. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who point out another person’s faults are implying that, by comparison, they have fewer faults of their own, which is hardly ever the case, and even if it were, bringing attention to it is a big red flag-sized fault. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). With multilevel awareness, you’ll pick up on minute expressions of interest and make split-second decisions about whether to continue the entertainment, holding and leveraging the attention, or to dodge, hide from or redirect it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Used to a particular rhythm of external assurances, your ego is scared to step into environments where reception will be uncertain. Superstar move: Challenge yourself to care less about them and more about your purpose.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can trust in your deeper knowing, even when it has yet to emerge to top layers of consciousness. You have goals that even you do not know about. Your being vibrates with an agenda you’ve only started to understand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Changing yourself is challenging enough. Changing someone else is not only difficult but possibly futile. Even in the unlikely event that it works, your imposed change would be temporary and invite a backlash. Live and let live. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sleep, vitamins, sunshine, movement, the positive influence of optimistic friends and media... it’s obvious what’s good for you, and the one who inspires you to actually partake in good things is great indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Creativity is at a high. Keep striving to turn your inspiration and emotion into something concrete. People will like and resonate with the products of your expression. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll set up rules, systems and rewards aimed at building mental patterns. If anyone is going to change your mind, you want it to be you and not some tricky technology employed by a corporation to seduce and control you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is in your nature to extend whatever care is needed, and the more you notice the need, the more need there is to be noticed. Just be sure to care for yourself first and foremost.

may be considered for an increase of up to 7.5%. Loewen was awarded the maximum amount. In qualifying the merit pay, CSD Controller Teri Gotro listed financial milestones such as a boost in the district’s net position by $5.6 million, a reduction of long-term liability debt by $658,000, as well as a CalPERS pension re-amortization that dropped the district’s payment from $227,000 to $18,924. In addition, she specified an 8% rise in revenue through innovative programming during COVID-19 shutdowns, a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and a clean financial audit. Mattock confirmed the merit pay would not incur a diversion or deferment of any district projects. Further, the one-time increase would not be applied to base pay and therefore does not go toward the final compensation amount for purposes
of calculating pension benefits. “General Manager Loewen has done and continues to do an exceptional job for the district and its residents both on the clock and on his own time,” said Mattock. “Frankly, I am not aware of another GM who during a global pandemic doubled the park acreage for their community and immediately provided access, all while improving the district’s financial position, and adapting to the new virtual workplace and … helping to meet the needs of struggling parents trying to balance work and school for their children.” Mattock also noted phone calls, care packages and groceries that Loewen delivered to local seniors. Cheryl Olson, former Rescue Union School District Superintendent, offered a glowing testimonial of Loewen’s contributions. “Kevin is approachable and
friendly and welcomes engagement from the community,” she said. “He is ready 100% of the time to lend a helping hand wherever and however he can.” And EDH Soccer Club President Efrain Mercado agreed. “I can confidently state that we would not be able to do what we do without the help, support and leadership from Kevin Loewen,” he shared in a statement submitted to the CSDA awards committee. “Without his visionary approach … I believe that our club would not be in the position it is today.” “Failure to adequately compensate Mr. Loewen in the highly competitive GM market given his proven track record and when we have so many projects and a critical acquisition under way, would be a detriment to the district and our community,” Mattock contended. Loewen insists that the year’s accomplishments were a team effort. “This
past year was quite the test for everyone,” he shared. “In looking back, I’m proud of what we did and accomplished.” The general manager said he plans to donate

should call the airline to follow up about a flight. “I received a phone call right after (I booked the flight), stating that they wanted $100 per passenger to finalize my flight,” one scam victim told the BBB. After calling the airline to complain, the victim discovered that the flight wasn’t even available to begin with.
Avoid travel scams •D o your research on companies you haven’t dealt with before making purchases. Visit BBB.org for reviews and feedback from previous customers. •D ouble-check the URL before entering personal and payment information. It can be easy to click on a sponsored ad or imposter website without noticing. Before sharing sensitive information, double-check the website and that the link is secure. (Secure links start with “https://” and include a lock icon on the purchase page. Learn more at BBB.org/

BBBSecure.) • Be wary of third-party websites. Some websites appear to offer a legitimate service but are only fronts for a scam. Be suspicious of websites with no working customer service number and no physical address. Typos and grammatical errors can be indications of a scammer’s handiwork, too. • Make online purchases with your credit card. Fraudulent charges made on a credit card can usually be disputed, whereas that might not be the case with other payment methods. Unfortunately there is no way to get back the personal information you may have shared. For ways to protect against travel scams go to BBB.org/TravelScam. Stay one step ahead of scammers by subscribing to BBB’s weekly Scam Alert emails at tinyurl.com/3fzyumu3. Anyone who thinks they have been a victim of an airline ticket or other travel scam is asked to report their experience at BBB.org/ScamTracker to help others to avoid falling prey to scammers.

Allen Schmeltz Sutter Street Theatre
“Y
ou Can’t Take It With You” opens Sutter Street Theatre’s post-COVID Broadway Series. Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have happily lived their zany lives in his house by Columbia University in New York for many years. This family (and their friends) are a madcap group of eccentrics, marching to the beat of their own drum, with pride and joy. Their hobbies include collecting snakes, building fireworks in the basement, playing darts, writing a myriad of plays that never get published with a typewriter that was delivered to the wrong address years ago, taking ballet lessons from a Russian dance teacher and much more. Things like stress, jobs and paying taxes to the government are for other people, not for them.

Live life to the beat of your own drum — “You Can’t Take It With You” actors Stephen Kauffman, Ken Watkins, Hannah Davis and Silas Castro, back row left to right, and Cattaryna Goodin, front, share this life lesson. “You Can’t Take It With You” by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman is a madcap, idealistic comedy that reinforces the idea that you can only live life
to the fullest by doing whatever makes you happy. This production is directed by Allen Schmeltz. The play runs July 16 through Aug. 1 with performances at 7
p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m. Sundays at the theater, 717 Sutter St. in Folsom. For reservations call (916) 353-1001.

I hope those first shows canceled last he does host one and shred it year and did he think it would last accordingly. this long? I also hope these wits of dry “Montbleu was probably my first sarcasm find its way into his cancellation, it was March a year stand up. I asked him how he was ago,” Spade said. “I go ‘are you working out new material during guys going to move my show in the the lockdown? summer?’ And then they said no, “Well, that’s why I was trying stuff we’re gonna do it in March of this out on Instagram because I had no year and I’m like, ‘A whole year?’ outlet for things that I thought of And then guess what? They had to so I’d just say them,” he said. “And move me again. If you had told me then when you’re actually allowed that back then I would’ve freaked to go do stuff you have to be more out.

FAMILY FEATURES
oining loved ones at the family table is an important moment for many, both as a filling way to enjoy a meal and an emotionally satisfying way to catch up on all the day’s events. Make those moments count by combining nutritious ingredients and creating recipes that can quickly become favorites. As part of the Powerful Pairings initiative – launched by the United Sorghum Checkoff Program, National Pork Board and USA Pulses – these recipes call for pulses, which include lentils, chickpeas dry peas, and beans; sorghum, similar to rice or quinoa filled with nutrients, texture and taste; and pork, rich in flavor, versatile and sustainable with nutritious qualities. Combined, these three ingredients can work together in sweet and savory dishes alike, and they shine with a multitude of herbs, spices and sauces from around the world. A powerhouse nutritional trio, they include foods from the protein, vegetable and grain groups outlined in MyPlate, a template for balance, variety and moderation. Plus, the taste and versatility of these ingredients make it easier to achieve more family meals, which promotes cohesion, communication and relationships, helping loved ones celebrate simple joys together and be more prepared for uncertainty and difficult life moments.

“Nature’s Solace” by CJ Nelson
Artists wanted for invitational show News release The early bird deadline for entering art in this year’s Art on the Divide Cooperative Invitational Art Show in Georgetown, Nature’s Solace, is coming up on July 23. This theme is particularly fitting as many have embraced nature this past year as COVID-19 kept some away from many of the people and things that they cherish. One definition of “solace” means “comfort in times of distress.” The AODC Gallery invited artists to develop art that represented their feeling of comfort from nature. Artists may enter up to three entries for $20. If submitting July 24 through Aug. 2, the entry fee will be $30. Interested artists can download an application at artonthedivide.com to print and submit. The gallery mailing address is P.O. Box 184, Georgetown 95634. For more information email aodcgallery@gmail. com or call (530) 333-2787 during open hours — 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Save the date for the artists’ reception scheduled for Sept. 11 at the gallery, 6295 Main St., Georgetown.

the lens of her personal history, she places herself among and celebrates the migrants who arrived in California from both land and sea. “Much of Liu’s work confronts official and state-sanctioned narratives with personal stories and historical truths,” said Thomas P. Campbell, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “This powerful new installation from Liu honors the contributions and voices of the Bay Area’s immigrant communities. We invite our audiences to reflect on the contributions of those who have sought a new future in California and helped build our multifaceted society, especially given the recent local and national attacks on our AAPI communities throughout this past year.” Born in Changchun, China, in 1948, Liu immigrated from China to the United States in 1984, passing through the mythical Golden Gate on the way to graduate school at the University of California, San Diego. Formally trained in the socialist realist style of painting, Liu’s mature style has broadened to incorporate elements of improvisation, re-creating the subjects of archival photographs
“Chinese Shrimp Junk” (1994) by Hung Liu, oil on shaped canvas, collection of the artist. into a kind of weeping realism that is more lyrical. Challenging primary sources, officially sanctioned documents and revisionist accounts, Liu foregrounds displaced and wandering people frequently left out of traditional historical narratives and resurfaces stories lost to time. “Hung Liu is uniquely positioned to tell the stories of immigrants to the United States. In 2020, she celebrated the milestone of having lived an equal number of years in China and the United States. As one of the foremost painters in the United States, Liu is a testament to the fact that our brightest citizens are often born under foreign skies,” said Janna Keegan, assistant curator of Contemporary Art and Programming at the

Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Hung Liu: Golden Gate (金門) will be the latest project to be presented within the framework of the museums’ Contemporary Art Program, which presents the work of living artists in dialogue with the museums’ unique buildings and permanent collections. The installation marks Liu’s return to the de Young museum. In 1994 her installation “Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain)” explored the history of Chinese immigrants to California during the Gold Rush and prior to the adoption of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. “Chinese Shrimp Junk II” (1994) was featured in this exhibition and returns the de Young for this special installation.
In detail In imagining Golden Gate (金門), Liu was inspired by migrants who, like herself, came to California and became an indelible part of its history, society and culture. Liu’s personal history anchors the installation, with its central feature being an ambitious reinvention of what is arguably her most famous painting “Resident Alien,” first exhibited at the Capp Street Project in 1988. “Resident Alien” depicts her own “Green Card” — a self-portrait — on an heroic, larger-thanlife scale. That painting, now in the collection of the San Jose Museum of Art, is the conceptual lynchpin of Golden Gate (金門). Dramatically scaled and visually intensified as a seventyseven-panel reinvention of the original painting, the work will cover the main wall in the de Young’s Wilsey court. Liu was able to work with Donald Farnsworth of Magnolia Editions in Oakland to design, print and paint the piece, now called “Resident Alien 2021.” Flanking and in dialogue with “Resident Alien 2021” will be new works by Liu, drawing parallels between the journeys of those who came from China with migrant workers represented in the photography of Dorothea Lange. To the left, visitors will see the return of Liu’s “Chinese Shrimp Junk II” (1994) to the walls of the de Young, first installed in the Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain) exhibition. This painting captures an iconic image of the history of Chinese migrants in the Bay Area.
On the opposite wall, Liu paints life back into the portraits of Depression-era farmhands and itinerant workers “Girl with Sack” (2021) and “Cotton Picker 2021” (2021) through her interpretation of Lange’s work, engaging the source photographs with dynamism, color, and Liu’s signature “weeping realist style.” “Corn Carrier 2” depicts a peasant carrying a bushel of corn on her back, reminiscent of a photograph of the artist in the same pose from her years working as a peasant during the Cultural Revolution in China. “The Dance” (2013) and “Right and Left” (2013), interspersed through Liu’s larger pieces, respectfully honor and refer to works from Henri Matisse and Winslow Homer, and contribute to the installation’s dreamlike nature — a quality prevalent in Liu’s iconography. As a whole, the installation symbolizes the artist’s personal crossing from China to America, as well as her younger and older selves, against the socially charged backdrop of immigration worldwide. The exhibition’s chat panels will be available in English, Spanish and traditional Chinese script, referencing the most widely spoken languages across the Bay Area, and paying homage to the many who call the Bay Area home.
About Hung Liu Hung Liu was born in Changchun, China, in 1948, and studied mural painting as a graduate student at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing before immigrating to the U.S. in 1984 to attend the University of California, San Diego. Over her long career, Liu has formed a practice spanning painting, printmaking and largescale installation. Liu’s works have been exhibited extensively and collected by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. Portraits of Promised Lands, 1968– 2020, a retrospective of her work, opens at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in fall 2021, marking the first solo exhibition by an Asian American woman at the museum. A twotime recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in painting, Liu also received a lifetime achievement award in printmaking from the Southern Graphics Council International in 2011. Liu currently lives in Oakland and is a professor emerita at Mills College.

Barton’s hospitality pays off with industry award Tahoe Daily Tribune
“Butterfly” by Nataly Tikhomirov, watercolor
Don’t forget this month’s art show raising funds for CASA Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Gold Country Artists Gallery on Main Street, Placerville is dedicating the month of July to Child Advocates of El Dorado County. In a partnership with the nonprofit organization, the gallery hosts Childhood: The CASA Exhibition, which features the work of 25 artists. Gold Country Artists Gallery will donate 10% of all gallery sales to CASA.
Many of the gallery’s award-winning artists have also donated their work to an online auction to benefit CASA’s mission. The auction, which will run through the month of July, can be found at childhoodcasaexhibit.ggo.bid. Gold Country Artists Gallery will be open late with refreshments on Saturday, July 17, to celebrate the gallery’s 29th anniversary and the partnership with CASA.

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.

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.

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.

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.
