Pat Lakey Staff writer

copy letters and phone calls, tabling the issue actually seemed thoroughly embraced Tuesday by many speakers from the public, some 50 of whom waited patiently — some not so patiently — to voice their opinions during the Zoom-assisted meeting. With one exception during the marathon meeting, when a caller used a swear word and was immediately cut off, those calling in managed to remain mostly civil, as the council continued hearing from constituents until well after 11 p.m. The entire meeting, in fact, ran from 6 p.m. to two minutes after midnight before Mayor Michael

The question of whether a hangman’s noose should remain depicted on Placerville’s city seal, on historical street signs, official stationery and other city venues was left twisting in the wind Tuesday after the council voted 4-1 to table the matter for several months. The matter of the noose was stretched to the beginning of next year. While at first blush that action may be disappointing to the hundreds of local residents and others who weighed in on the issue through emails, hard

Saragosa whacked the gavel to end the session. Caller Sue Taylor queried midmeeting whether the council had deliberately “put more items ahead of ” the noose discussion “to get people to drop off ” and thus not be heard during the meeting. (In fact, council members Kara Taylor and Mark Acuna did request that two items — a pothole report and update on crime from interim police Chief Wren — be rearranged on the agenda so they would be n

More restrictions ‘inevitable’ says county public health officer Dylan Svoboda Staff writer So far El Dorado County is one of 26 California counties that has avoided Gov. Gavin Newsom’s growing “watch list,” which comes with additional coronavirus health restrictions and business closures. With local COVID-19 “ … I think we’ve cases on the rise, that been lucky could soon because we’re a change. It’s just a little more spread matter of out, not because time until we’ve been doing El Dorado joins Placer, everything right.” Sacramento — Dr. Nancy Williams, and Yolo El Dorado County public counties on health officer the state watch list, according to Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams. It’s “inevitable” the county crosses California’s monitoring threshold in the coming days or weeks as testing backlogs bear out, she said during an El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. If counties reported more than 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over a 14-day period, they’re placed on the state’s monitoring list. If a county remains over that threshold for three straight days, additional coronavirus safety restrictions are put in place. n

Jr. Livestock Auction bests pandemic Kevin Christensen Staff writer

espite the COVID-19 pandemic closing the El Dorado County Fair this year, local students involved in 4-H and Future Farmers of America were still able to show and auction their livestock over the weekend. Thursday through Saturday young farmers from all over the county brought their steer, goats, lambs and rabbits to compete for awards and go to auction. In the past livestock was auctioned off to the highest bidder in person but instead was this year sold in an online format for the first time due to the current health crisis. “This was the highlight of the year for me,” said 2020 Supreme Grand Champion Market Steer winner Elizabeth Bloxsom. “I Abigail Brown, 17, Jessica Thompson, 17, and Haley Richardson, would have been devastated if we could not have had the event 18, with Ponderosa High School’s Future Farmers of America, his year.” show their goats at the El Dorado County Junior Livestock n See Junior Livestock, page A9 Auction.

Big-hearted, longtime Placerville developer Wesley Wilkinson dies Dawn Hodson Staff writer Wesley Wilkinson, 94, a beloved longtime fixture in El Dorado County and a man who left his mark, died June 20 at home surrounded by his five children. A man of few words but known for his interesting way of phrasing things called “Wes-isums,” his last words to his family were, “It’s been a hell of a ride.” Born Aug. 22, 1925, in Placerville to Willard and Mary (Sweeney) Wilkinson, Wesley was the eldest of three children and one of seven grandchildren of John Sweeney and Mary Akin and a cousin of former El Dorado County Supervisor Jack Sweeney. Growing up on a pear ranch during the Great Depression, the experience left a lasting impression on him. He saw the indigent people who would stop by the ranch looking for work or for food. Even

though his mother struggled to feed her own family, she would still try to find something to give them to eat. That experience made him frugal as well as someone who was naturally charitable and willing to give others a helping hand. Highly motivated to further his education, after graduating from El Dorado High School Wesley rode his bicycle all the way from Placerville to Sacramento to attend Sacramento City College. Later he took classes at the University of California, Berkeley while in training for the Navy during World War II. It was while Wesley was in the Navy he met the woman who would become the love of his life and wife of 67 years, Gertrude (known as Dede), who was from Portland, Maine. Returning to Placerville together, friends would rib him about his wife’s n

Laurence Ellsworth Bouldry III

Formerly of Placerville 1942-2020

It is with great sadness that the family of Laurence “Larry” Ellsworth Bouldry III announce his passing on June 22, 2020, at his home in Sun City, Arizona, at the age of 77. Larry was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, to the late Laurence Ellsworth II and Lavern Bouldry. He grew up in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, until his early teens when his family moved to Santa Barbara, California. After graduation from Santa Barbara High School in 1960, Larry served in the U.S. Navy from 1961 to 1965. Upon his honorable discharge, Larry attended San Jose State University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. Larry worked for the Santa Barbara Sheriff ’s Department as a Deputy Sheriff from 1967–1968, and later spent six years with the Santa Barbara Probation Department, attaining the position of Supervising Probation Officer at the Villa Esperanza Counseling and Education Center. During this time, Larry met and married Ginsey Bullock and they had two sons, Laurence IV and William. Following his time with the Probation Department, Larry took a break to spend quality time with his dad building a fishing boat in Morro Bay, California, that they christened the “Gin-Sea,” affectionately named after his wife. Larry was hired by the Southland Corporation in 1983 and worked as a Division Facilities Manager. During this time, life threw him a curve ball when he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1997. He picked himself up, dusted himself off and tackled this challenge with his strong, “You’re not going to defeat me” determination. He was able to return to work within a year with a clean bill of health, becoming a 22-year cancer survivor! Larry went on to retire from the Southland Corporation in 2003. However, not quite ready for full-time retirement, he went to work for the Starbucks Corporation as an Area Facilities Manager until 2005. Larry moved to Sun City, Arizona, in 2010 to fulfill his dream of playing golf three days a week and enjoying morning coffee with his buddies. Larry’s sons fondly remember their dad’s ongoing support of their youth sports activities. He was their biggest and loudest fan, never missing a game. Larry dearly loved his Massachusetts family and regretted not being able to spend more time with them. They have fond memories of Larry and many heartwarming stories to share with his sons. Some people may remember Larry’s “You did it, you deal with it!” attitude, but his family and close friends will always remember his “You did it, how can I help?” He was the only person who could tell you to go to hell and have you looking forward to the trip. Larry is survived by his sons, Laurence Ellsworth Bouldry IV and William Levi Bouldry; former spouse, Ginsey Bouldry; two sisters Patricia Weatherford and Paula (Roger) Brand; brother, Michael (Sheryl) Bouldry; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; and many good friends. We draw comfort in knowing that Larry is enjoying his perfect golf game in a better place. Arrangements are being made for a future private gathering with family and friends.

After attending Sonora High School, she married her high school sweetheart, moved to Placerville and raised her family of three daughters.

For the community, she produced Women’s History Month celebrations for many years. Upon retirement, Cassie again taught art, and then for the next 17 years was a volunteer with Snowline Hospice, providing relief and support to clients and their caretakers. Additionally, she founded the local Threshold Choir, which sings to the ill and dying on a weekly basis in local care homes and the hospital. She also sang in the New Freedom Choir.

Test drive

Democrat photos by Kevin Christensen

Maria Loera, left photo, a health programs specialist with El Dorado County, shows the way to the drive-through COVID-19 testing site, right photo, at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds Tuesday. Free COVID-19 testing is now being offered Tuesdays by appointment. Testing was at max capacity this week, according to El Dorado County officials. The testing site location is state-sponsored and for people ages 18 and older. No medical insurance is required and anyone either symptomatic or asymptomatic can be tested. Managing the site is Verily Life Sciences in partnership with RubiconMD, the California Department of Health and El Dorado County. Tests will be open by appointment every Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., until further notice. Staff on site said they will soon be able to have test results within three to five days. To register for an appointment go to projectbaseline.com/study/covid-19/eligibility.

Off Broadway to close Dawn Hodson Staff writer After 46 years of providing quality women’s clothing and personalized service, the owner of Off Broadway in Placerville has decided to retire and close her store. Located at 1245 Broadway in Placerville, a store-closing sale began Wednesday. Owner Rosie Gier said the sale will probably continue for a few weeks until everything is sold, although it could take less time given that when the sale began the store was packed

with eager shoppers. She also said she intends to sell the building where the store is located. Gier said she and her husband had been contemplating closing the store for a while but the COVID-19 related lockdown was the final straw. “It’s just time. After being closed for over two months, we realized we could never recover from such a big loss in sales. I’m also getting older,” she joked. But while the Giers may be closing the store, she and her husband plan to remain in Placerville. “This is where our roots are,” she said.

Signs at Off Broadway, on Broadway in Placerville, advertise its “going out of business” sale as the owner has announced plans to retire after 46 years.

Continued from A1

“It’s coming, probably sooner than we expected,” Williams added. As of Wednesday the county had roughly 86 cases per 100,000 residents over the previous 14-day period. That number is expected to rise as test results come back and new cases emerge from holiday gatherings over the Fourth of July weekend. High demand for tests and a backlog at California test processing labs is causing delays in getting results back to patients, according to Williams. As those results come back Williams predicts the county’s case count to continue its ascent. Counties on the watch list are required to close indoor gyms, places of worship, non-critical office sectors, personal care services, hair salons, barbershops and malls. There are 32 counties on the state’s watch list as of Wednesday. On Monday Newsom ordered a statewide closure of all indoor activities at restaurants and wineries and a complete closure of bars, movie theaters, museums, card rooms and entertainment centers. If El Dorado does cross that threshold, District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl said he hopes the county falls back below it during the three-day, wait-andsee period. “With the current trends we’re looking at, and knowing the delays in testing and getting the results back, I think there’s a reasonable possibility we will experience at least a short period where we may exceed the state’s threshold,” Hidahl said. “I’m hoping it’s just a few days.” The number of total coronavirus cases in El Dorado County has nearly doubled since late June, jumping from a reported 184 cases June 30 to 350 as of Wednesday morning. The Lake Tahoe region has driven much of the increase. That area’s total case count went from 93 to 173 over the same period. The region, led by the city of South Lake Tahoe with about 22,000 permanent residents and sparsely populated areas like Meyers and Tahoma, accounts for nearly half of COVID-19 cases across the county. In June Williams said the area was “the most worrisome to us on the county basis right now.” Tahoe’s plight has some, including District 2 Supervisor Shiva Frentzen, calling for a regional approach to further business closures. “When we look at the data since we opened up the county it’s really the South Lake Tahoe numbers that are going to put us over that threshold … If we really don’t have an issue in the other parts of the county, why should everybody be penalized?” she asked during Tuesday’s meeting. But rising COVID-19 numbers have Williams worried about the West Slope as well. She pointed to an increase in cases in the Placerville and El Dorado Hills areas as a cause for caution. Placerville’s 24 total cases jumped to 38 in about a week. In El Dorado Hills the case count went from 55 to 73 during that same time frame. Williams noted Tahoe’s numbers might appear worse because of earlier exposure to the virus due to the area’s tourism industry. “I would be cautious to say (the West Slope) is doing everything the right way,” she said. “If you talk to the folks here in Public Health about people not wearing masks and businesses not requiring masks, the majority of those are coming from this part of the county, not from Tahoe … I think we’ve been lucky because we’re a little more spread out, not because we’ve been doing everything right.”

California Matters

The chaos in unemployment insurance

ong before COVID-19 shredded California’s economy, the state’s unemployment insurance program was deeply troubled. Thanks to a decadeslong political stalemate, the unemployment system, managed Dan Walters by the Employment Development Department, had scant reserves to handle a recession. The unemployment fund had been sharply depleted during the Great Recession and EDD officials warned for years that the fund was deficient, but nothing was done. Moreover, the Great Recession had exposed serious flaws in EDD’s outdated computer system and while promises were made to upgrade it, little had been done when COVID-19 struck and hundreds of thousands — eventually millions — of laid-off workers applied for benefits. During the first three months of the partial economic shutdown ordered by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March, “One in four Californian workers has filed (an unemployment) claim … reaching levels of the Great Depression,” according to a June study by the California Policy Laboratory, a multi-university think tank. The result has been chaos. EDD has struggled to keep up with the deluge of claims for benefits, both those financed by the state through payroll taxes and extra payments hastily authorized by Congress and President Donald Trump. Those seeking unemployment benefits have complained of making dozens, even hundreds, of calls to check on their claims, only to be frustrated by an inability to get through and/or hangups midway through conversations with EDD workers, many of them newly hired. “They told us to be patient and wait because they’ve been working so hard to get us paid in a timely manner,” Robert Good, who worked as a waiter for a Denny’s franchise and has been trying to get answers from EDD since March, told the Sacramento Bee. “It’s June 1. I have no money for food and bills. The EDD keeps adding new extensions and programs, but tells those of us stuck and waiting nothing.” Not surprisingly, those in the same sinking boat as Good began pestering their state legislators for help and legislative staffers tried to work through EDD’s tangled bureaucracy. But when EDD clamped a lid on how many such cases it would handle — one a week per legislator — that didn’t sit well in the Capitol. After legislators complained publicly, EDD quickly modified its one-a-week decree, telling legislators in an email that the agency “has implemented a recent recommendation from legislative staff to further expedite the resolution of your older cases.” The blowup added another layer of tarnish to the EDD’s reputation. Although reporters have only scant opportunities to question Gov. Gavin Newsom these days, some have tried to elicit a response about the unemployment claim crisis. “We have been very aggressive on a daily basis to n

Letters to the Editor Anarchy EDITOR: ccording to Webster’s Dictionary, anarchy is the absence of all government with political disorder, chaos and violence. It’s a word that should strike fear into the average person but, then, that is the goal of an anarchist — fear, intimidation and destruction, a complete lack of law and order or civility. If this is the objective of the far-left radicals, then they should be treated as the criminals they are. This is a country of constitutional law and we have a code of behavior that usually works. No, we’re not perfect and at times someone on either side might do wrong and they should be punished, according to the law. If those wannabe anarchists (ANTIFA) are so in favor of not abiding by the rules set forth, then they are no better than the ones they accuse. The recent demonstration and peaceful protest in our town was understood by most people and I commend both sides for their restraint. The message was heard, loud and clear; it’s the violence we don’t need, here or anywhere. I’m glad that our local demonstration was peaceful. They weren’t ANTIFA anarchists, just concerned citizens. Somehow, we must all come together peacefully to grow into our future without causing any further damage to our society. Even if we disagree at times, El Dorado County has proved it can be done because here all lives matter. JIM ALLEN Placerville

Voodoo medical advisers EDITOR: ately, the Mountain Democrat has released columns deserving to be called “Bad Medical Advice.” A recent whopper is by Dr. James Veltmeyer, a graduate of Ross School of Medicine in Dominica. Ross University is one of many “for profit” diploma mills located in the Caribbean. Their motto is “If you can pay, you graduate.” After two unsuccessful runs for Congress, Dr. Veltmeyer is running again on the GOP ticket and what better way to attract the fringe, right-wing voters than to circulate a recall petition for Gov. Newsom. The seat Veltmeyer is seeking was once held by Bob Dornan, aka “B-1 Bob.” Dornan was the looniest looney tune ever elected to Congress, until the arrivals of Louis Gohmert (R-TX) and

Steve King (R-IA). Dr. Veltmeyer’s column regurgitates Trump’s complaint that if we increase COVID-19 tests, we increase our chances of finding more active cases. The obverse of this observation is: No tests = no results = no disease. Why hasn’t medical science adopted this simple rule? With his column, Veltmeyer is appealing to his electoral base. He is also debasing his professional oath: “First, do no harm.” Ross U. likely does not teach medical ethics. Why does the Mountain Democrat continue to print medical disinformation/misinformation by Dr. Harold Pease, Larry Weitzman, Pres. Donald J. Quack and Dr. James Valtmeyer? Why does the far right insist on politicizing the pandemic? Why does it continue rejecting science (vaccinations, climate change, COVID-19)? Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick recently declared, a propos of Dr. Fauci: “Who in hell listens to him?” If only the president had listened to Dr. Fauci and his colleagues, 100,000-plus dead Americans would still be alive today. JOHN GARON Placerville

Delicious humor EDITOR: ere are some jokes about food. What kind of snacks do ducks like? They enjoy cheese and quackers. What did the girl melon say to her boyfriend? “Remember, we cantaloupe.” What do you call a milk cow who suddenly stops giving milk? An udder failure. What did the boy hamburger say to his girlfriend? “Hi, Pattie.” What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef. What type of vegetable should you never bring on board a submarine? A leek. What do you call a cow with two long legs and two short legs? Lean beef. What did the boy strawberry say to his girlfriend? “If you hadn’t been so fresh, we wouldn’t be in this jam now!” What is green and makes holes? A drill pickle. Who was purple and conquered the world? Alexander the grape. What kind of plants must be hatched? Egg

It’s Always Something Else

Take notes: You might be a liberal/conservative if …

’m a bit confused by the labels “conservative” and “liberal,” especially when people like John Bolton say that Trump, a relatively new Republican, isn’t conservative or competent enough for him to vote for, and that Biden is a Democrat Wendy so “philosophically” he can’t vote for him either. Instead, Bolton plans to write in the name of a conservative Republican. Is it better to vote for someone you don’t trust because they have the correct label or skip voting for someone who might have some good ideas because they don’t have the correct label? A lot of people are going to be pondering this in the 2020 election. How do you know if someone is a conservative or a liberal, anyway? Here are some ways to tell and don’t mind me if they are confusing: You might be a conservative if you own four guns and the Second

Amendment is dear to your heart, but you could be a liberal if you also support expanded background checks because there are some crazy people out there. You might be a liberal if you wear a mask when shopping in Costco or you might just be a person who Schultz wants to take an easy precaution against infection when exposed to a lot of people. You might be a conservative if you believe that people should take responsibility for their actions and stop expecting the government to bail them out or you could be a liberal who believes in individual responsibility. In any case, if you are Goldman-Sachs or a banker, you can’t possibly be a conservative, right? You might be a conservative if you call mask wearers “liberal zombies who should be wearing burkas” or you might just be a fool who is missing the point.

You might be liberal if you support your neighbor’s right to paint their house two shades of purple or you might be a conservative who likes the color purple. You might be a conservative if you are pushing back against illegal immigration or you could just be a person who believes, if it’s the law, it should be enforced and if it’s the wrong law, it should be changed. You might be a liberal if you support the Affordable Care Act … or you could be a self-employed conservative with a diabetic child. You might be a conservative if you believe that throwing more money at the problem is not a solution or you might be a liberal who believes that the state of California and the federal government need to get rid of duplication and deadwood and use the money they already have with more fiscal responsibility. You might be a conservative if the “Black Lives Matter” movement strikes you as anti-law enforcement and you might be a liberal if you are carrying a sign that reads “Black Lives Matter” at a peaceful protest,

but you could also just be a human being who wants to see fair and equitable treatment of all people under the law. You might be a liberal if you support Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals … but you might also be a conservative if you don’t understand why there is pressure to give people who are here illegally the right to vote in federal elections. You might be a conservative if you vote against increasing taxes, but you might also be a liberal on a limited income. “Liberal” and “conservative” are constrictive terms, as are “Democrat” and “Republican” — each implying a narrow set of views, narrow interpretations, a limited vision. One of the tenets of liberalism is responsibility for self and one of the tenets of conservatism is personal responsibility — an amazing confluence of view. Use your own personal responsibility to think for yourself and vote for candidates you feel you

try to tackle the magnitude of the calls that have come in,” Newsom said in late April. “We are just dealing with an unprecedented call volume (and) we’ve got to figure this out.” More than two months later, it apparently is still being figured out because claimants are still being frustrated and are even posting recordings of their unsuccessful calls on Twitter and Facebook. Nationwide data indicate that while California is not the slowest state in processing unemployment claims, it’s close to the bottom. No one could have anticipated the sudden flood of unemployment claims from COVID-19, but given the experiences of the Great Recession, particularly the shortcomings in EDD’s computer system and the unemployment fund’s weak condition, much more should have been done to get ready for the inevitable next recession. One wonders whether it will be figured out by the next recession.

ardy Fish capped off a record performance in the American Century Championship with a dive into Lake Tahoe. Fish birdied the 18th, hoisted and kissed the crystal trophy then joined Steph Curry, Canelo Alvaraz and others in running and diving into the lake. The former tennis Olympic silver medalist has been a favorite over the last several years, but he finally reeled in his first ACC title with 76 points, nine better than first round leader Kyle Williams. The victory wouldn’t have happened, Fish said, without his record-breaking second round where hebroke the Edgewood Tahoe course recordand scored the most points ever in a round at the ACC. “Thankfully I put it all together Saturday, because it wasn’t today and it wasn’t Friday,” Fish said. “I didn’t light it on fire, I had one great day.

heard prior to the hangman’s noose issue.) Another caller, who identified herself as Rose, suggested curtailing another matter under discussion and get the council to talk about the noose, telling the panel that four hours was long enough to keep people waiting. Among those calling in during the meeting it seemed a notable majority felt the same: Keep the noose; it’s part of the city’s history and if the council does decide to eliminate it as an icon, it likely will be the first step toward getting rid of other favored, historical aspects. Despite Councilwoman Taylor pointing out that “George the dummy is not on the agenda tonight” nor was a discussion of the nickname Old Hangtown officially listed, callers said it was clear that one led to another. “We know these people’s tactics,” began caller Dennis Murray. “(Once the noose is eliminated) it will be George going, before or after they try to get rid of Hangtown. “Moral outrage is their recreational pastime.” Callers theorized that those who wish the noose to be eliminated from city property and materials are probably newcomers to Placerville, “Bay Area liberals.” If they have one “victory” it will merely fire them up to continue their mission of changing or eliminating virtually all local history, callers said, including the woman who sought to get the noose discussion under way sooner. The caller named Rose mentioned the tearing down of statues such as those of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in cities nationwide, indicating those whose goal is to eradicate the noose are of a similar mind. “We’re seeing it happen all across the country,” said Rose. “There’s nothing racist about (the local hangings that were the genesis of the nickname Old Hangtown) so leave our history alone and don’t spend the money on this.” City Manager Cleve Morris earlier had outlined potential costs of taking the noose off city letterhead, business cards and so forth, mentioning that the city had just received a new shipment of envelopes sporting the icon. Those 36,000 envelopes at 5 cents each for a total $1,800 would have to be replaced by dipping into the already COVID-19-stressed General Fund. Add to that the estimated cost of replacing business cards for staff ($740), painting or covering nooses on street signs ($790; as much as $1,864 for outright replacing signs plus $1,500 in labor) and replacing vehicle decals ($463). “Don’t wilt — stay strong,” public speaker Murray urged the council, which eventually would decide 4-1 to let the issue simmer for a few months and then take its temperature again come the new year. Taylor voted no, after explaining that giving the issue more time would do little to change anyone’s mind, in her opinion. She said the change to the city seal, simply taking the noose off the tree, “is such a small change”

that she didn’t see why the council couldn’t do at least that. But her colleagues ultimately decided hearing more from the community and getting a more in-depth look at the history behind the city becoming known as “Old Hangtown” would be beneficial to all, especially children, taking advantage of an educable moment. Vice Mayor Dennis Thomas earlier in the meeting explained a plan he and others had collaborated on, where at least one Town Hall gathering would be set to thoroughly educate the public on the genesis of Hangtown, a name that stuck from 1849 through 1854, according to Councilman Acuna. “We don’t hand out history books when folks come to town — they don’t know how innocent we see (the hangman’s noose and the hanged dummy featured on the historical Hangman’s Tree building),” said Acuna. One member of the public said his own research revealed the three men reputed to have been hanged in 1849, an event that along with other such executions gave the town its memorable moniker, were nonEnglish speaking and that a so-called trial was no more than a lynching by a drunken mob. But Sue Taylor, who owns and renovated the former Hangman’s Tree bar into an ice cream parlor, said her understanding of the event that fostered the name Hangtown is quite different. And, she said, should it eventually ever be decided that George the dummy no longer should be allowed to hang over Main Street, people around the world will be disappointed. Taylor said she has heard during her travels in foreign countries from people aware of George, thousands of miles away in Placerville. Just recently, she said, as word got out in late June about the City Council discussing the effigy and the name Hangtown, “I got a call from (a news outlet) in Chicago, wanting to know our story. “George really is a product of the community,” Taylor added. “We’re his stewards.” Councilman Acuna said he has learned that George actually began not as an icon marking history but as an advertising gimmick. “It was an advertising gag (someone) came up with at the Hangman’s Tree bar in 1933,” said Acuna. “It was not an historical legend — it was a bar gag.” Regardless of how it shakes out, it is clear the mannequin depicting a dead man that dangles above the sidewalk just outside the door to the Hangman’s Tree has taken on a life of its own. Should Vice Mayor Thomas’ plan to sort through all the various versions of history regarding Old Hangtown result in a public meeting to finally hammer down the truth, Thomas said he hopes a book or other publication will be produced as a result, to report the findings.

You’ll help those who do not sure your same rights and privileges. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone is quirky in some way, though not always obviously. As you accept how each person has a unique way of relating to the world, you’ll help the people around you understand one another. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re friends with many people who share your interests, have commonalities of background and experiences similar to yours. This is why it’s imperative that you reach out to different people. Your creativity depends on it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Books have the power to change people, but only people who read them. You’ll love the way information is presented to you today, and the more you find out, the more you want to know. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The barriers to love seem to be in the other person, but this is the same illusion for every human. The world is full of mirrors. What appears to be outside is really coming from you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Anyone can whine and complain but it takes real strength, organization and follow-through to alter the way things are done from here on out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll reach the point in an endeavor in which you’ve done as much as you can do, or as much as you really need to do, and the best next move is to open your hands and let it go.

You will never be sorry you upheld the value of humility. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The origin of problems is a wonder, although not entirely worth spending a lot of time on. No matter where a problem came from, once you pick it up, it’s yours to love, solve, keep or give to someone else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have the opportunity to improve your condition and this you will sweep up and make the most of. Then you’ll share all you’ve gained and learned so that others can do the same. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you have deep wells of empathy, you sometimes feel things more than is necessary for you to be of help. You can always dial it back. That’s better than the alternative, which is being oblivious to the feelings of others.

Continued from A1 them camping in the Ice House area. One particularly memorable trip for the family was when Wesley bought a used station wagon and a used, 15-foot travel trailer, loaded the five kids and a dog into it and drove crosscountry to Maine and back home through Canada and Yellowstone. Later he and Dede used the travel trailer to visit many of the national parks. Wesley’s company handled some big demolition projects in the county. One was in the late 1950s when he was hired to demolish the historic Federated Church that had been built in 1861 on the corner of Main and Cedar Ravine streets. According to the Wilkinson family, the bricks that were demolished were cleaned by Wesley’s kids and later showed up as facade for many of the homes he built. Wesley’s company also demolished the old El Dorado High School schoolhouse in 1974 to make way for a new facility and demolished the old Placerville Fruit packing plant in downtown Placerville. That job did not come without its hazards, however, as Wesley

over a 10-year period. Wesley was giving in other ways as well. He and friend Irmgard Johnson would frequently dumpster dive at the local Safeway store and distribute what they found to those in need. A friend and employee of Wesley’s, Bill Mott, recalled the time when his wife was pregnant with their first child. He told Wesley about how they were saving up for a swamp cooler for their house and that night, according to Mott, Wesley showed up with a cooler for them. Wesley donated the use of his Broadway property for a year for use as a homeless camp by the city of Placerville. Being a hard worker, Wesley’s children said the norm was for their father to work 16-hour days, six days a week. He instilled that same work ethic in his children, having them help pour foundations, tar roofs and haul the garbage. He often kidded that he fathered five kids for a cheap workforce. But Wesley wasn’t all work and no play. He enjoyed piling the kids into an old Studebaker truck and taking

strong New England accent. Jack Sweeney recalls asking his aunt “why Wes didn’t marry a girl who could speak our language?” Back in Placerville, Wesley started W.L. Wilkinson Builder, a company that would construct many of the homes in Placerville. According to members of the Wilkinson family, his goal was to provide affordable, unadorned homes for soldiers returning home from the war and funded by the GI Bill. Land development and taking on big demolition projects constituted much of the work Wesley took on in the course of his career. One big housing development he and his brother undertook was on a piece of land off Highway 49 owned by their father. Called the Wilkinson Tract, according to his family, it was one of the first residential subdivisions in the county and where he built his first home for his own family. While his building career grew so did Wesley’s family — he and Dede soon had five children to raise. They were also foster parents to at least 30 children and adolescents

W.L. Wilkinson Builder was contracted to demolish the Federated Church in Placerville in the late 1950s. Wesley continued to stay active right up to the end, managing his extensive real estate holdings, planting fruit trees at 93 and always looking for ways to be of service and help others. Jack Sweeney said he recognized his cousin as a man who was “always trying to help those less fortunate than himself. He took groceries to many needy families. I really believe that inside of the tough ‘older’ cousin was a man of God.”

accidentally touched a 440-volt line that shocked him at which point he fell down a 60-foot elevator shaft. Mott said the shock probably killed him but when he fell down the shaft, hitting the bottom probably revived him. Visiting him in the hospital later, Mott said Wesley’s only concern was for Mott to go down to the yard and paint “check oil” on the side of an old crane he owned as he feared no one would check it while he was in the hospital.

Abigail Brown, 17, Jessica Thompson, 17, Haley Richardson, 18, Alydia Rodriquez, 19, and Alisia Rodriquez, 17, from left, from the Ponderosa High School Future Farmers of America club competed in the Master Showman portion of the El Dorado County Junior Livestock Auction Saturday at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.

Bloxsom, 17, was in this year’s graduating class at Ponderosa High School and plans to attend the University of Nevada in fall to study nursing. Last year Bloxsom secured the Reserve Supreme Champion award. “It was exciting to win this year and I worked really hard with Maui (Bloxsom’s steer), traveling the state before the health crisis. I am glad we were rewarded and the auction was not fully canceled. Going to college next year I want to work in livestock auctions.” Having the annual Junior Livestock Auction online was not without its challenges but the community — as it often does — came together for a cause greater than themselves. “This year was a roller coaster year regarding the livestock exhibitors and Cheyenne Jones, 12, of Shingle Springs leads her goat out of the ring after receiving a the sale of their animals,” said Jody Reserve Champion award at the El Dorado Gray, CEO of the El Dorado County County Junior Livestock Auction. Fair and Event Center. “After COVID19 hit we knew we needed to help the youth in our community to be able to sell their projects. It’s a great expense to them and something they work hard for all year.” Gray said their goal was to allow the children to show their animals before the online auction and with the way everything kept changing they had different plans ready for each show. “Each day as we got closer we all were wondering which plan would be the one we chose,” Gray explained. “We got our second-best plan, to allow the exhibitors to actually show their animals, however, having to sell online. We had to divide all the shows up into three full days and not allow spectators, only parents, no siblings. We needed to keep our crowds down and spread out.” Austin Ferry, 12, a student at Herbert Green Precautions taken included having Middle School and member of the Southside a veterinarian present to check Top Notch swine group, guides a hog. the animals, staff there checking everyone’s temperature and surveying Siblings Brayden and Taylor Bacchi, participants and their parents for from the Southside Topnotch 4-H COVID-19 symptoms before letting Club, had a fruitful online auction. anyone out of their vehicles.

rowing up in the ranch culture of Wyoming gave Ryder direct connection to the earth and the landscapes around her and nurtured the artistic soul within. To this day, these early influences shine through in her work. To capture the tactile nature of the world around her, she experiments by repurposing and recycling familiar textiles in unusual ways leading to works of startling beauty. Ryder takes the usual artistic media — paints, pastels, pencils, inks, dyes — and twists them up with canvas she has unwoven into strips or rewoven into new ways or paper she has ripped and reassembled into new form. Ryder explains

that within the abstracted forms created by this rending of paper, she discovers hidden images and illusions of movement. What images and illusions did she see in a recent work she calls “Out of Chaos, Led by Youth?” For this work she attached watercolor paper to a large canvas board, applied layers of watercolor paper painted with colorful acrylics, with n

The Tahoe Rim Trail offers splendid views all the way around. Tim Hauserman released “Tahoe Rim Trail, 4th Edition” on July 7 to highlight the 165-mile trek.

TAKE A HIKE; MARVEL AT TAHOE’S BEAUTY

Local author releases 4th edition of Tahoe Rim Trail guidebook

Cheyanne Neuffer Tahoe Daily Tribune

“T

ahoe Rim Trail, 4th Edition” was released July 7. The book highlights the stunning 165-mile trail that circles Lake Tahoe. The book is made for hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and anglers who want to learn in-depth about the Tahoe Rim Trail. It’s the perfect book to throw in the backpack when going on a hike or an adventure. The author, Tim Hauserman, uses his ample trail experience and trail knowledge to help guide readers through the national forest, wilderness areas and state parks that this trail encompasses. Hauserman was a guide for Tahoe Trips and Trails and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association. The book includes the geology, history, flora and fauna of the trail along with informative leave no trace principles. Hauserman has been a North Lake Tahoe local since 1960 and became the 11th member of the Tahoe Rim Trail 165-mile club in 1999. As an avid outdoorist, he has explored the Tahoe Basin for 50 years. The first part of “Tahoe Rim Trail” gives the reader trail information, trail etiquette and information on environmental factors. The second part of the book provides details for readers on what to expect on the trail. The first edition of “Tahoe Rim Trail” was released in 2002 after the trail was just completed. Hauserman has updated the book to include new perspectives of the trail. He explained the number of trail users has gone way up over the years which has shifted the perspective of the TRTA from marketing to preserving the trail. Hauserman said the increase in trail users stems from more people living in Tahoe with a more outdoorsy demographic and also from athletes looking for an athletic challenge of completing the trail in a competitive amount of time. Hauserman said he has hiked the whole trail three times and uses the hikes to note the changes to be included in the next edition of the book. “The book is designed for someone who wants to learn about the trail and how to use the trail responsibly,” Hauserman said. “What I find remarkable (about the trail) is that it is a big circle. You can look and see where you’ve been and where you are going.” “Tahoe Rim Trail” is available wherever books are sold, including local bookstores, gift shops, outdoor shops, online retailers and through the TRTA.

buttered and salty ‘Hamilton’ HHHH R, 2 hours 40 minutes - Biography, Drama, History, Musical Now Playing/Streaming on Disney +

love history. I particularly love American history. I really loathe musicals. I know I am in the minority here. I’m not going to overly criticize them; they just aren’t my bag. This is coming from a guy who grew up in the theater. I find the “classic musical” formula that most shows use incredibly repetitive. It seems like the modern day musical was crafted by the likes of Gilbert and Sullivan, Edward Harrigan and Rodgers and Hammerstein and blended into slightly different variations of the formula over the years, but the Coke taste is still the same, if you catch my drift. Don’t even get me started on Andrew Lloyd Webber. I never said I wouldn’t be critical; I said I wouldn’t be overly critical. This brings me to the toast of the (streaming) town this week, as the Broadway smash “Hamilton” has finally landed on our television sets. My musical cynicism even led to reluctance pushing “play” on this production, though I’ve heard nothing but great things about it since it premiered Off Broadway in 2015. Like I said ... musicals. OK, an olive branch to the musical lovers out there and a bit of a confession: I love the 2001 film “Moulin Rouge!,” though that wonderful overabundance of sensory overload and vivid colors sort of tricked us by taking some of the most popular rock and pop songs of the last five decades and spinning them into the film. Cheaters. I really liked "Book Of Mormon" too, which I had the pleasure of seeing at the Eugene O'Neill Theater in New York. Hysterical show by

Smith

Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent two brilliant writers in Trey Parker and Matt Stone ("South Park"). But back to “Hamilton” — as I began the show and the opening bars came out of the actor standing under a spotlight stage left I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and think to myself: “Here we go. I’m going to get throttled in the comments section this weekend.”

Continued from B1

and blade in her expressive style of work. Her favored techniques include alla prima, a wet-on-wet style of applying the oil paint quickly without allowing it to dry between layers, giving the image a rich, buttery quality. Smith uses a variety of brushstrokes, textures and the colors found in nature to provide balance and harmony to produce an image clearly created by a highly skilled painter. “Eagle Lake” is an excellent example of Smith’s style. Tranquil waters framed by pines, low-lying bushes and smaller trees seem very detailed. Coming in for a closer look, it is surprising the paint has been laid down in deceptively lazy strokes that merely suggest the details that seem so obvious from a distance. “Pigeon Point Lighthouse” is another lovely example of Smith’s ability to capture, with just a few artistically placed brushstrokes, the full realization of her subject. The white posts that line the walkway toward the rocky prominence upon which the lighthouse stands to face the eastern sun can be clearly seen; up close the boulders, the grass, the surrounding sea and even the hint of distant clouds are only implied with a few deft brushstrokes. Of her journey to move from proficiency to perfection, Smith admits she was blocked by a fear of failure, but was inspired to take action and literally paint over that fear; she explains that her inspiration comes from her own wonder at God’s creation. “I try to reflect that beauty in my paintings,” she said, adding that all her work honors her love and devotion to God and it is that spiritual love that elevates her work to a higher plane.

Then something amazing happened. The music — original, inspiring, hip hop, R&B, soul. The cast — diverse, young, hungry. “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has said the show is about “America then, as told by America now.” The “now” begins and ends with the cast, and they are great. The show is dynamic, energetic, enthralling and exceptional. After a decade where Broadway has seemed to become a greatest hits brigade of in-person Hollywood franchises (once “Spider-Man” and “King Kong” got Broadway shows I knew it was over) this was the shot in the arm “The Great White

Way” needed. Dare I say, this is the type of show America needs right now. I would be absolutely shocked if Disney didn’t produce a $200 million studio version of this show in the next few years. Sometimes a show or film transcends the industry. “Hamilton” is one of those. I was made a disciple. Believe the hype. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/ producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube at youtu. be/WOjJ_Rmv8ig. He can be reached at @ joshuabporter or joshuabporter@ mtdemocrat.net.

Each hand-crafted, miniature cowhide saddle is named according to its theme— for example, “Bounty Hunter and Lady Rancher.” Lanzini said coming up with the names is creative fun for him. The saddle blankets, bedrolls, coloring, accessories and leather tooling are all designed by the artist and crafted to reflect the El Dorado region’s rugged history.

origami paper slid in between each layer. “To me it looks like teenagers doing cartwheels across the paper,” Ryder said. Ryder’s choice of title makes sense in the context of her career as a teacher of visual arts to young students, something she clearly loved doing as she honors their “chaos” in this wonderful artwork. Ryder created “Solar Flares” by laying down a layer of gesso on a canvas she then bombarded with powerful acrylic accents to create movement, and then strategically “splashed” more paint onto the canvas to amplify the energy. With all the chaos happening around us, Ryder said she finds being an artist is a great outlet for expressing her feelings. She defines her true success not to be the sale of her artwork, but rather as the great satisfaction she finds in the deep bond that is created with others who are touched emotionally by her work.

2020 is New Morning Youth & Family Services’ 50th anniversary. Throughout the year there will be 50 years’ worth of stories about the New Morning Shelter. Readers will see stories from staff and Board of Directors as well as stories about the children who the agency has served through the eyes of the staff and some stories directly from the clients.

Story 27: A story from a New Morning therapist I have been working with a 13-yearold for the past year with limited consistency in his ability to meet weekly, due to family circumstances. He has been able to attend therapy sessions two times a week for the past three months and arrives on his own volition. He struggles with depression and anxiety, which also contribute to his oppositional and defiant attitude toward most everyone. A significant adult in his life kept telling him that therapy was not

helping him. When the therapist asked the youth if he thought therapy was helpful to him, he replied, “Yeah, it’s helping. I haven’t killed anyone or myself.” The therapist responded with, “Alrighty then we will continue to meet two times a week and keep working toward your goals.” “I am currently getting my degree in psychology and hope to give back to my community,” said the father. For 50 years New Morning has provided a safety net of services to youth and their families in El Dorado County, including the only 24-hour emergency youth shelter in the county for homeless, runaway and in-crisis youth. The nonprofit provides professional counseling services to children age birth to 18 and supports children and youth who are victims of abuse, struggling with alcohol and drug issues, experiencing trauma and facing school failure. Other services include parent education, assist youth aging out of foster care and Latino outreach.

ew Morning Youth & Family Services has openings for new clients during the summer

months. Our experienced therapists are here to help family, children or students under the age of 18. New Morning is conducting sessions over tele-therapy (over the phone) or in person using CDC guidelines for the safety of clients and staff. Please call and ask for Lara or Carrie at (530) 622-5551 to make an appointment. Is your child or teenager experiencing any of these issues? Depression Mood disorders often start during the early teen years. And if left untreated, depression can last into adulthood. If your child seems irritable, sad and withdrawn, please contact New Morning. An accurate diagnosis and early intervention are key components of effective treatment. Anxiety disorders While it’s normal for teens to worry sometimes, some teens experience intense anxiety. If your child constantly worries bad things are going to happen, therapy could help them learn how to manage their symptoms. Behavior problems Repeat curfew violations and aggressive behavior may be symptoms of more serious problems. A New Morning therapist could help uncover potential mental health issues, skill deficits or social problems that may be driving your child’s behavior. Substance abuse issues Unfortunately drugs and alcohol can become serious problems for teenagers. Our therapists can assess your teen’s substance use and help determine the most appropriate course of treatment. Individual therapy, group therapy, detox or residential treatment may be options depending on the severity of a teen’s problems. Stress Teenagers can get stressed and it can take a serious toll. Therapy can help a teen learn skills to manage stress successfully — and that’s something that will serve them well throughout their lives.

School and social-related issues Bullies, failing grades, cliques and teacher-related issues are just a few of the social-related problems many children/teens experience. Our kids often aren’t sure where to turn for help. Therapy can support your kids and give them skills that will help them navigate high school successfully in the fall. Legal problems Stealing, underage drinking or fighting are just a few of the reasons teens get into trouble with the law. Sometimes they’re mandated by probation or their parents to receive counseling. Therapy can help your teen learn how to make healthier choices so that further legal issues can be prevented. Low self-esteem While most teens struggle with self-confidence issues at one time or another, some experience serious selfesteem issues. When those issues are left unaddressed, teens are at a higher risk of problems such as substance abuse and academic failure. Therapy can help boost a teen’s self-esteem. Trauma Whether it’s a near-death experience or a sexual assault, traumatic events can have a lifelong impact on a teen. Our therapists can help increase resilience and reduce the impact the traumatic event has on a child’s life. Early intervention can be the key to helping a child recover from traumatic circumstances. Grief Kids deal with grief a little differently than adults and the loss of a loved one be especially difficult during adolescence. Our therapists can help kids sort out their feelings and make sense of their loss. **For 50 years, New Morning has provided a safety net of services to youth and their families in El Dorado County. These services include the 24-hour Emergency Youth Shelter (the only one in El Dorado County) for homeless, abandoned and runaway youth. New Morning has programs to support alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents, counseling and support for pregnant and parenting teens, and counseling for high-risk youth (youth who are abused, suicidal, experiencing school failure, runaway or thrown out of their home, or engaging in delinquent behavior).

B Street Theatre creates new series and diversity director position B Street Theatre News release

Street Theatre announces its newest web series Re-Imagine, a Tuesday evening production dedicated to the amplification of BIPOC artists (Black, Indigenous and People of Color). The series is under the direction of Executive Producer Jerry Montoya and Latrice Madkins, who has just accepted a new position in the theatre as the Equity, Diversity and Community Inclusion Director. Both initiatives are part of actions the theatre has taken in order to be actively anti-racist as a non-profit arts organization. In a June 1 statement following the protests and nationwide uprising over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Aubrey and after a history of violence by white supremacists and police departments, B Street Theatre responded by saying, “It feels like it is no longer enough to say that we are welcoming. That we seek diversity. It is no longer enough to sit passive and feel comforted in the knowledge that we are progressive.” The statement concluded with the promise to launch a series upon reopening, then titled “Voices of Justice.” B Street unveils its first production towards a more inclusive theatre by launching “Re-Imagine,” a weekly web series that will expand and evolve following the reopening of The Sofia. On its opening night July 14, the programming was viewed by over 177 households on Zoom.us and received 700 views on Facebook. The featured entertainment was a one-act play

by Sacramento playwright Anthony D’Juan and several actors from Los Angeles, including B Street Company members Danielle Moné Truitt and Peter Story.

A new role Madkins, a Sacramento County Citizen of the Year awardee and global contributor to performance arts, education and civic engagement remains with the B Street family through their transition to virtual programming. Before this appointment, Madkins served as administrator of B Street Theatre’s founding program. Thanks to her leadership and diversity advocacy, B Street Theatre has established valuable connections within the community it serves. In her new position, Madkins will administer the creation and implementation of additional programming and arts industry inclusion models, converging on marginalized and BIPOC communities.

Re-imagine performances July 21: Music. Poetry. Art. Inspiration, the work of BIPOC artists B Street Theatre is a non-profit, professional theatre company producing primarily new work for adults, families, and children. The two-theatre playhouse on 2700 Capitol Ave. in Midtown Sacramento is home to the Mainstage Series and Family Series, each created to feature intimate, quality theatre for audiences year-round.

s El Dorado County enters new phases of the Shelter in Place directives set forth by state and local authorities Imagination Theater (IT) will be adjusting their production schedule and implementing health and wellness precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of our participants and our audiences. “We want to bring art to the community,” said Peter Wolfe, Artistic Director, “but first and foremost on our minds is how best to do that while ensuring the safety of our participants and audiences.” The plan is to postpone full-scale shows until 2021 and to implement stringent and meticulous safety measures before, during and after public performances once the theater does open. Disney’s “Frozen Jr.” will now be rescheduled to March 2021, while “A Christmas Carol” will be offered in winter of 2021. “Frozen Jr.” rehearsals continue via video chat and home rehearsals. The reschedule however, will allow the cast and crew to reconvene in person for important rehearsals and technical support at the theater. The creative staff at IT will host several short one-off shows in the coming months. “Hear My Voice,” a celebration of the centennial of suffrage written by Rachel Atkins and performed by Rachel McClinton will be produced Sept. 23 at 6 and 8 p.m. Other smaller-scaled productions being considered to include a reader’s theater presentation, a comedy show, a socially-distanced

variety show, and an improv show. Please look for announcements via social media. IT also continues to encourage participants and patrons alike to post videos of themselves practicing their craft using the hashtag #ITPlayAtHome on social media platforms. We love to see what performing arts are being practiced in socially distant situations. IT has been leveraging the required downtime during our “shelter in place journey” to complete some muchneeded theater improvement projects. The box office and lobby renovations are near completion and will be a welcoming environment to all. Additionally, the stage has seen a full lighting upgrade and we are excited to highlight these improvements during our comeback show, Disney’s “Frozen Jr.” in the new year. Imagination Theater continues to stand with our entire community through the many challenges currently being faced. Our mission includes an emphasis on trust and respect. We will continue to be that safe space for years to come. Visit imaginationtheater. net and follow us at facebook. com/Imagination-Theater for further updates on auditions, rescheduled productions and season announcements. To change dates or request refunds for existing tickets or season subscriptions or to purchase tickets or make a donation please contact the box office at boxoffice@ imaginationtheater.net.

Tami Welch Special to the Mountain Democrat

he Gold Country Lodge No. 2705 Order Sons & Daughters of Italy in America, founded in 1996, awarded two scholarships at the annual dinner meeting on June 16 in El Dorado Hills.

economic provider for hundreds of businesses, both large and small.” By hosting a first of its kind Digital Festival, Cal Expo hopes to give Californians a chance to interact with each other through the California State Fair Twitch Channel, download a 2020 fair poster for posterity, enjoy the ever-popular silent disco online and keep the tradition of concerts, games and competitions while providing an economic benefit to the businesses in the community. “Everyone at Cal Expo is deeply saddened that we had to cancel a tradition enjoyed annually by hundreds of thousands of Californians,” added Mohr. “Yet at a time when millions of Californians are unable to enjoy their favorite summer activities, we believe that it is our responsibility to give the members of our community a platform to come together in a way that brings the fun and excitement of the state fair to the safety of our homes.” In compliance with orders issued by the governor, hosting a Digital Festival will allow Californians to share their favorite fair memories, listen to music from performers at the state fair on Twitch, attend virtual tours of local wineries, olive oil ranches and breweries and more. The Digital Festival starts this week, as Cal Expo staff and partners in normal conditions would have been preparing for opening day Friday.

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.
