Dollar General “I feel like I am being stripped of my livelihood,” – Danette Inman, owner of Danette’s Brick Oven Pub asked for EIR Dylan Svoboda Staff writer A proposed Dollar General Store in Cool hit a bump in the road this week. After appeals from nearby residents and advocates, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors directed the applicant, Woodcrest Companies, to conduct a “focused” environmental impact report on the project’s traffic and public safety impacts. After completion of the EIR, the project will return to the El Dorado County Planning Commission for further consideration. Both the Divide Preservation Society and Cool Pilot Hill Advisory Committee submitted separate appeals stating the project violates the California Environmental Quality Act and that it “may have a significant impact to traffic and circulation (including pedestrian and bike safety), aesthetics, cultural resources, drainage, urban decay and cumulative impacts.” The appeals challenged the Planning Commission’s May 28 approval of the project. The Board of Supervisors partially approved the appeals by a slim 3-2 margin, with Supervisors Brian n

Curbed again Kevin Christensen Staff writer
The El Dorado County Planning Commission took up major amendments to county zoning and subdivision ordinances in a four-hourlong meeting July 9. A project county staff have been working on for two years, planners parsed 54 amendments designed to correct and modify the county Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map that were originally adopted by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors in 2015. Previously the board adopted minor amendments but this time the staff tackled the major ones. Topics taken up by planners included changes that will expand allowable commercial and/or industrial zones for such uses as distilleries, professional and medical offices, full-service winery facilities, vehicle sale and rental operations, self-storage units, drivethrough facilities and mobile services. Other amendments will expand the amount of land used for agricultural grazing and for full-service winery facilities, as long as they are consistent with existing zoning. Other changes include expanded n

Jim Lucas was born March 12, 1940 in San Francisco to Joe and Grace Lucas. He graduated from Gardena High School in Los Angeles. During high school, Jim was involved in Boy Scouts of America, earning his Eagle Scout ranking, and remembers that experience as one of the best highlights of his childhood. His troop had the privilege of performing in a ceremony at the grand opening of Disneyland in 1955. After high school he attended UC Berkeley where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. During college he met his wife, Faye, and shortly after being married he enlisted in the United States Navy, completing three years of service. They then moved to Fresno where he earned his Master’s degree at Fresno State University. After living in Visalia for several years, they moved to Camino where he designed and built their home and resided for 48 years. He spent most of his career as a junior high school teacher at Camino Elementary School. He then followed his dream of becoming an entrepreneur and opened his own home building inspection business, enjoying 10 years in that field. Throughout his life he was gifted in making, building and fixing things and often used those skills to help family and friends. His family enjoyed many of the handcrafted items he built for them. Jim is survived by his wife of 58 years, Faye, his four daughters Lenora, Amy, Natalie and Megan and eight grandchildren and step-grandchildren. He will be missed by family and friends. Jim did not desire to have a public memorial service.
As of Friday morning there were 171 known, active COVID-19 cases across El Dorado County, according to public health officials. Currently there are two COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the county; both are in the ICU.

Mosquito Bridge closed for annual maintenance News release The Mosquito Bridge will be closed through Sept. 4 for annual maintenance. Maintenance is being conducted by the El Dorado County Department of Transportation. Work began July 13. Due to the extensive work being performed, the closure will include nights and weekends. All traffic will be directed to Rock Creek Road. The Mosquito Fire Protection District reminds area residents to review, update and practice an emergency evacuation plan. In the case of a wildfire or other emergency, and an evacuation of the Mosquito/ Swansboro area is needed, the Swansboro Airport is the primary staging area. Fire officials advise against leaving by Rock Creek Road as this is the primary access for responding fire engines. If an evacuation is advised or required, the El Dorado County
Bass Lake
Sheriff ’s Office, Office of Emergency Services, will initiate notification. The entire Wildfire Evacuation and General Preparedness Plan for Mosquito Fire Protection District can be found online at mfpd.us. A paper copy of the plan can be obtained at the Mosquito Fire Station. Fire officials urge residents to remain diligent in wildfire prevention and home safety during the bridge closure; emergency response times may be slowed. In order to minimize delays residents should call 911 to report an emergency, not the Mosquito Fire Station. Questions regarding maintenance on the Mosquito Bridge can be directed to the county’s Transportation Division at (530) 642-4909. All other questions on evacuation planning and emergency preparedness can be answered by calling Mosquito Fire Station 75 at (530) 626-9017.

At last Thursday’s EDHCSD Board of Directors meeting, foundation representatives presented guidance centering on the outdoor education component — one of the more unusual aspects of the proposed park and what foundation members think will be a defining feature. “Bass Lake has the opportunity now to provide a relevant educational experience,” insisted Promise Foundation member Rowland Gaal. “Having been a former school teacher myself, I’ve had schools that have actually bordered on natural areas and it was the very favorite activity of the students. They were able to go out and get their hands dirty and see the changes over time …. This is a hands-on lab that we have here stretched across these 210 acres.” The program would encompass not only a K-12 curriculum but also interpretive trails, outdoor classrooms, a floating dock with a sampling and observation station, demonstration gardens, a nature and natural history center and a volunteer docent program. The proposed nature center would provide information on the natural resources and cultural history of the park and the foothill region. An environmentally friendly building would be designed with solar panels and other sustainable features. Gaal also put forth the option of a green roof to optimize cooling and heating effects from a soil and plant roof and a rainwater collection system for watering of adjacent gardens. Outdoor classrooms would offer covered structures to protect from heat and rain and double as picnic areas. “The idea is to make the ecosystems accessible year-round,” said Gaal, adding that the lake will be a focal point, access to which is needed through a floating dock. “It will allow water sampling, aquatic plant and animal collection and the viewing of plant communities.” Possible community uses for the park include classes in birding, fishery, apiary, entomology, gardening, habitat restoration, sustainability and citizen science and events such as guided nature walks and fishing derbies. The foundation recommends a phased development of the park to allow visitors onto the site sooner. The trails and curriculum development would require the least cost and are suggested for the first phase. Outdoor classrooms and the floating dock
would follow, providing relatively inexpensive educational opportunities but maximum impact. The final phase includes the nature center building, the design and construction being contingent on significant funding sources. A survey is currently circulating throughout the community to gauge public priorities for the park and has garnered more than 500 responses as of press time. The foundation is also forming several working committees to aid the development of park concepts in the areas of active recreation and sports fields, habitat management and improvement, outdoor education and public engagement and outreach. Regarding fundraising, Lowery raised the possibility of a voterapproved bond as well as a community-wide assessment district, which he said would be challenging to set up but would give the park longterm financing. He also requested the park be made a high level priority through authorization of additional natural resource studies, finalization of the site master plan and funding identification and approval. CSD board member Sean Hansen advocated fencing to enable catch and release fishing, allowing more imminent use of the lake. He also floated the idea of allowing a disc golf course before the installation of formal athletic fields and the nature center. “Let’s get people engaged and out there using this incredible park and take advantage of this gem in our community.” The current political climate was discussed by CSD board vice president Noelle Mattock, who cautioned mindfulness when creating historical exhibits. She also brought up the potential for tapping into state funding for sustainability features. “The state is really interested in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change,” she noted, indicating that inclusion of such issues in the education component could raise eligibility for potential grants. “What a spectacular resource,” said EDH Promise Foundation vice president Sue Hawkes as she described the host of wildlife thriving in the 90-acre lake surrounded by oak woodlands, mixed forest, meadows and desert scrub. “Here in our hills are 200 acres of incredible land and lake to wander around, to explore, to study, providing inspiration and recreation.” To submit thoughts on the Bass Lake Regional Park survey visit getfeedback.

Can one judge nullify law?
T
he very thought of one unelected judge with a stroke of a pen nullifying law is unconscionable to most Americans but this has become common against the Donald Trump administration, blocking the executive function of HAROLD PEASE the government at least 37 times. Before him it was 20 times against Barack Obama. When this happens it is called an injunction, most are delayed for a time and overturned by a higher court. Consequently Trump has had to ask for 20 emergency stays from the Supreme Court while these were resolved. No president has had to deal with such unconstitutional judicial overreach. This exceeds the combined number of all 42 presidents preceding him. There are 663 Article 3 District Court judgeships across the country. Unfortunately, as practiced, any one of them can issue a nationwide injunction against a federal government action. These lower district court judges have weaponized themselves against Trump with the complacency of Congress. In fact, it has become a major distortion of the separation of powers doctrine amplifying the judicial branch powers well beyond the Constitution and original intent. Not because Trump did anything particularly unconstitutional, but because one judge out of 663 across America said he had. National injunction topics include: travel bans, DACA, immigration, border wall, census citizenship and the environment. Some call this judicial tyranny. Jefferson warned in 1820, “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional question [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy.” James Madison’s address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788 was specific to this silent danger. “There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation.” (Assistant Attorney General Beth Williams delivers remarks on nationwide injuctions at the Heritage Foundation, Feb. 4, 2019). Judicial review by the Supreme Court of laws passed by Congress came about in 1803 with the Marbury v. Madison decision, fully 14 years after the Constitution was formed, thus wording nullifying created law is not found in the Constitution. Imagine the Founding Fathers placing in the Constitution the power of a very few — now nine — to undo what the majorities of both the House and the Senate had agreed to, signed by the president. Essentially the court gave itself the power to nullify what hundreds of legislators had agreed to. That judicial review has become sacrosanct by past practice (nobody opposed it enough to end it). It remains not actually in the Constitution — not even in a subsequent amendment — so let us try other constitutional remedies first, dealing with district judges, before challenging judicial review. Actually district court judges, those issuing the injunctions blocking presidential authority, are not in the Constitution as a permanent fixture either—only at the behest of Congress.

Letters to the Editor Hangtown EDITOR: read with total disgust the article on the front page of the Mountain Democrat, “Time to hang up ‘Old Hangtown’.” Since I was born here and invested in and have loved Placerville, “Old Hangtown,” I would like to give my perspective of this proposal. First, I suggest we take a few breaths and wait for the end of the rioting, looting and tearing down of all that is great in this incredible country before we make any brash decisions that will change the economic and cultural vitality of our great town. Sure, we are all shocked and saddened by a certain policeman’s apparent killing of George Floyd and many believe certain changes in our police forces’ training and procedures are in order. But for our country to go into this mode of acquiescing to the sinister actions of rioters and looters, as well as to the feel-good intentions of honest demonstrators, is wrong and the tearing down of historic monuments and sites is unforgivable. I believe we need to take a minute and look at some issues. We certainly see that defunding police forces is dangerous and is leading to more senseless killing and lawlessness. An interesting article read: “In 1933 Hitler appointed Hermann Goring Minister of the Interior. His first orders were to defund and eliminate police departments so that they would not interfere with his Brown Shirts whose mission it was to riot, burn, beat up and kill citizens in an effort to sway the elections.” Are we the only country dumb enough to start another civil war because we are offended by the first one? Are you being treated poorly by the police? Well, have you tried not breaking the law to see if that helps? In summary, people come from all over the world to see where gold was discovered and to walk down our historical Main Street and to ponder where we got this name, “Old Hangtown.” Whether we know it or not, our hanging man, George, is getting world famous. That, by the way, is very good for business. According to a local publication the name Hangtown told the world that violence and crime will not be tolerated here. What’s wrong with that today? Then, as well as today, it was known that our country will become a better place when everyone
I
realizes there are only two kinds of people in it — good people and bad people. Ethnicity just doesn’t matter. In the 1800s, especially in 1849, there was an attempt to change the name of Placerville back to “Hangtown.” As time goes on and our world gets more automated and fast, I believe the historical town of Placerville, “Old Hangtown,” will be very proud of its name, its heritage and will reap the benefits of a place to put on your bucket list to see.

Saving our economy – before it’s too late EDITOR:
“O
ur leaders still seem far more afraid of a virus that probably kills fewer than 1 percent of those infected than the prospect of a third of all Americans losing their jobs” — Tucker Carlson Everyone is advised to “self-quarantine” — stay home. That amounts to shutting down the economy of the entire country. We could all stay home and reduce communicable diseases to zero. Of course, then we would recreate a stone-age economy and many, particularly children, would die of starvation. Can you imagine a world of millions of people all fighting for the last morsels of food to keep their children alive? No wonder some want to close the gun stores before it’s too late. Millions of unemployed is a far greater disaster than the virus. Let’s go back to work before it’s too late. When this is over, we have to have a nation to come home to. DOUG ROSCOE Shingle Springs
Reopen or not? EDITOR: resident Trump is telling us that America must reopen, business and schools. Resulting deaths are just the cost of doing business (and necessary, if he is to have a chance for a second term). Who among us is ready to give the life of a father or mother or school child to our leader? Will he come to the funeral? Think about it. JAMES E. LONGHOFER Placerville

Adventures getting the old, blue truck back on the road
I
bought a 1946 Chevrolet pickup in about 1999 for $1,500. The plan was to fix it up and have it running for my son to drive to high school. It is 2020 and we’re still working on it. Once we get it running, I’ll rent a trailer and haul it down to my son’s house in MICHAEL Stockton. He already has all the parts and windows and a space cleared in his garage. I just need to make an appointment with DMV to transfer the title. When we first got it, the truck was black. Wolfgang decided it would look better blue. We picked out a metallic blue. I had a service sandblast it and apply an undercoating. I bought a paint sprayer and we did shade tree spray-painting. It has held up pretty well. So has the paint spill on my steps to where we painted it. Someone was recommended to me to bring the truck up to working order with turn lights, a muffler,
brakes and brake lines. I had to go to a machine shop in Stockton to get the axle bearings made. It was in running condition when it was parked at my lower road. I drove up the hill and was going to park it in the garage but couldn’t see if the fenders were going RAFFETY to clear the side, so I just kind of dug a small pit in front of the garage. Our two-door garage has a larger door where we parked our Lincoln Town Car (since sold and replaced with a German car) and a slighter smaller opening where I parked my Toyota pickup. The Toyota was sold. Once I actually parked my Dodge Dakota in the garage, but I had to fold up the windows. That was before my wife retired and filled up the garage with cardboard file boxes. On my side of the garage are a small refrigerator she brought home from her office and two stand-up desks.

Now I use the ruts created by the ’46 Chevy as a stop point when parking my pickup in front of the garage. The Chevy pickup has sat in one corner of our limited parking area for several years without having been started. The result: Some key parts have ceased functioning. First, I had to buy a new tire because one kept going flat not long after I would drag out the compressor and pump it up. Then I traded in the battery for a new one. Wolfgang brought a pump and pumped out the stale gas into a gas can I had. Then I filled the tank with another gas can of fresh stuff. After trying to start the truck it became obvious that gas wasn’t arriving to the carburetor. Disconnecting the line between the carburetor and fuel pump revealed it clear since I could blow through the line. We got a new fuel pump. The old one had been clogged up. My son and a mechanic friend he brought along consulted YouTube videos along the way. After installing the new fuel pump and gasket we still didn’t get any gas to the carburetor.
After returning from lunch, they decided the next step was to replace the fuel filter. This was located directly under the gas tank. Wolfgang removed the old filter and replaced it with a temporary plug to hold the gas in the tank. He returned from Stockton with the new filter about a week later; that was the final puzzle piece to get gas to the carburetor. We had already replaced the coil because the current one didn’t seem to be creating a spark even though I had replaced the spark plugs. I had also changed the oil. A compression check in one plug tested fine. The last two puzzle pieces are replacing a rusty-looking vacuum advance for the distributor and the carburetor or having the carburetor rebuilt. The carburetor was getting gas, but not spraying like it should. Trouble-shooting an old truck is just a series of small parts. The carburetor is just the most expensive of those parts. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

use of conditional use permits and improved development standards to reduce issues that have arisen in the past regarding drive-through facilities and full-service wineries outside of General Plan agricultural districts. Those issues include such things as the impact such facilities have on traffic, noise generation and how lighting might affect adjacent properties. Staff also recommended conditional use permit requirements for food and/or beverage projects that include a projectspecific environmental analysis.
Other changes recommended are to the planning permit process, public noticing requirements and procedures, modifications to ensure county regulations are consistent with state law and modifications in the definition of specialized terms and phrases. During the discussion commissioners were particularly interested in ensuring the public is adequately notified and how they are notified of proposed developments or changes to proposed developments via public outreach by the developer, posted billboards on the
affected property or via paid notices in the newspaper. In the end the commission adopted the recommendations of the staff, including additions by commission members, on a 5-0 vote. That three-part motion covered approving the California Environmental Quality Act addendum to the targeted General Plan amendment/Zoning Ordinance update environmental impact report; approving the proposed major amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, incorporating
additional changes recommended by the planning commission at the meeting; and recommending the Board of Supervisors approve proposed amendments to Title 120 of the El Dorado County Ordinance Code as presented by staff. That recommendation now goes to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. The planners also approved three, one-year time extensions for the Marble Valley Ridge Estates tentative subdivision map on a 5-0 vote.

COMICS ■ SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
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.

ew Morning has helped me tremendously through a very tough time in my family’s life. In 2015, I left my wife, but I did not leave my daughter, Ali. The relationship with my ex was tumultuous and not good for any of us. Ali often had to hear yelling, doors slamming and foul language. Ali would lock herself in her room and wouldn’t communicate with me or her mother. Her mother (who had been a recovering alcoholic) had been drinking again and it made life challenging for all of us. We were able to get counseling

services through New Morning. We would meet weekly. Ali and I would meet with the therapist and then I’d wait in the lobby while Ali and her mother met with the therapist. After many months, I saw a positive change in my daughter’s attitude. She was happier and seemed more confident. Her grades started to improve and she began hanging out with her friends again. I owe a debt of gratitude for New Morning Childhood Services. 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.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t know where to start? The best place is here and now. The trouble with here and now is, sometimes, it can be hard to accept. Then again, it’s really the best and only thing worth accepting. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You could save someone from making a mistake, but if they really want to, they’ll make it anyway. You feel a strong sense of responsibility for others, and the world is better for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you respond predictably, you’ll earn someone’s trust. This is good. You want the person to be comfortable but should not let him or her get too comfortable. An impulsive twist will come to mind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Seek the best in all things but especially in people. No matter who you deal with this week, you’ll resonate with their better angels. There will be a teacher for whatever you want to learn. To get help, all you have to do is ask. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t need courage to do brave things. Act as if you are that fearless warrior. Make a habit of it. Follow through time and again. Boom! You’re brave. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Belonging isn’t about fitting together perfectly; rather, it’s about accepting one another and being willing to rub against those rough parts that don’t quite fit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like those who, like you, lack pretension, are adverse to striving and are too chill for social climbing. Your values are right in line with all that it takes to create meaningful, lasting friendships. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Psychologically, you are large and in charge today, while other systems may be trying to catch up with that vibe. Your mind is powerful and will lead all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be proud of the little steps; they’ll add up. Small improvements make a big difference. The person who makes slow progress makes progress indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You give all the stuff they need. You tend to the matters that matter to them. You need a return on this investment. It’s not a shallow thing to expect. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Pressing emotional needs crop up. It’s vital that your presence be not only known but also understood. Stick close to nurturing types. You require tenderness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your ability to take care of yourself is usually a given, but when things get very busy, everything changes. The parts that you sometimes take for granted need attention.

Samurai warriors swing their swords while Okei-san sets the tone for the opening scene of the play, “Gold Hill Samurai.” As is noted on seetheelephant.net, “Gold Hill Samurai is a new play inspired by the life of Okei-san and the earliest Japanese settlers in California who founded the Wakamatsu Tea & Silk colony. Gold Hill Samurai first premiered at the WakamatsuFest150. In 2018, American River Conservancy
commissioned See The Elephant to create a play for the 150th Anniversary of the Wakamatsu Colony in Coloma, California. Jamie Van Camp, in collaboration with ARC docents and many from the Japanese American community, set to work researching the history and creating a theatrical re-telling that
would highlight the struggles and triumphs at the heart of the Aizu people’s migration to California.” Gold Hill Samurai may be viewed on the Consulate website at www.la.us.emb-japan. go.jp/itpr_en/jicc_ calendar.htm or on the SCA-TV2 home page at https://sierratv2. blogspot.com/.

Dole Food Company News release
D
ole Food Company is taking its popular line of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad bowls national with this month’s launch of DOLE FreshTakes Ready-to-Eat Salad Bowls in supermarkets throughout the West following a successful debut in the Eastern United States in 2019. Salad lovers from coast-to-coast can now enjoy six single-serve, RTE salad bowls featuring cleanlabel ingredients with Dole’s Signature dressings and toppings. To appeal to a spectrum of salad lovers, Dole is offering four flavor varieties with meat protein and two varieties without — the same classic and regional recipes that were well-received by salad shoppers in the East. “The ready-to-eat salad market is expanding as Americans increasingly want a fresh salad experience that is flavorful and convenient and delivers a satisfying meal,” said Lisa Overman, Dole’s director of brand marketing for North America. “Already the country’s most recognized name in packaged salads and salad kits, Dole is also the country’s most recognized brand in RTE salads nationally.” The six single-serve DOLE® FreshTakes™ Salad Bowls will arrive in supermarkets nationwide in May. DOLE Classic Chicken Caesar FreshTakes Salad Bowl: DOLE Romaine lettuce topped with white-meat chicken, Parmesan cheese and Dole’s Own Caesar Dressing.

DOLE Cranberry & Candied
Walnut FreshTakes Salad Bowl: DOLE Spring Mix blend topped with feta cheese, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, flatbread sticks and Dole’s Own Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing. According to Overman, the FreshTakes line was developed and timed specifically by Dole’s product innovation team to offer salad users distinct, discernable advantages over existing RTE salad bowls on the market. “While Dole may not be the first to offer ready-to-eat salads, our intention is always to provide salad lovers with a salad that delivers a full-flavored experience with quality ingredients and differences they can see, taste and appreciate,” she said. “For FreshTakes, this means a short list of clean-label ingredients you can pronounce without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. It also means flavorful, white-meat chicken, plus Dole’s toppings and signature dressings to create a balance of flavors and textures that deliver truly ‘craveable’ salads.” Beyond the six single-serve core salad bowls, Dole announced plans to extend the national FreshTakes line later this year with the introduction of new flavors that will bring even more variety to the category. A global packaged salad and salad kits leader, Dole offers 66 different packaged salad varieties including its popular Chopped! Salads, Slawesome! Kits, Premium Salad Kits, FreshTakes Ready-to-Eat Salads, and other salad mixes and slaws. For all Dole fresh fruit and vegetable products plus recipes and nutritional resources, visit dole.com and Dole’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest pages.

PG&E enhances website and customer notifications Brandi Merlo PG&E SAN FRANCISCO — As part of its ongoing commitment to keep customers and the communities it serves safe and informed, Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced an improved emergency website and redesigned customer notifications for Public Safety Power Shutoff events this wildfire season.
Website improvements When PG&E calls a PSPS event due to extreme weather conditions, customers visiting pge.com will be directed to the “Safety & Alert Center” website which will provide more detailed and accurate information as much as two days before the shutoff. • The new emergency website was designed with a mobile-first approach to optimize the experience on mobile devices. • The new site is cloud based for improved scalability to handle high traffic levels. • The new site is currently available in six languages other than English with more coming. • The new site is also ADA-accessible.
Improved tools and maps Improved tools include a new “all-in-one” map that combines three critical tools (address search,
PSPS forecasted area maps and current outage maps) in one place. • Maps have been upgraded for 2020 to be more precise and provide more accurate details. • Last year’s address lookup tool has been redesigned to offer a text-based “no map” view of current and future outages. • New address lookup tool will help those on lower bandwidths get the information they need faster. Customers will also see simplified content and information that’s easier to read at-a-glance. “We asked our customers and stakeholders what are the most important things that they need to hear from us during an emergency. We are listening to our customers and acting on what we hear,” said Laurie Giammona, senior vice president and chief customer officer. “For example, we have improved the emergency information on our website. Now, when you go to pge.com during an emergency information is easier to find, more accessible and user-friendly. We believe that all customers deserve to have access to the information they need in the language of their choice.” During the Oct. 7, 2019, PSPS event, pge.com was unavailable for customers due to the increase in the number of visitors. The website received more than 30 times the normal volume of traffic. The new website is optimized to load quickly and has been tested to more than six times the peak traffic seen during 2019 PSPS events.

Notification improvements Improvements have also been made to PG&E’s customer notification process before, during and after a PSPS event. The more detailed notifications will show the date of the shutoff, the address that will be affected and estimated shutoff and restoration times. When possible, PG&E will try to notify customers of a PSPS event via automated call, text message or email two days prior, the day before, and just before power will be turned off. After power has been turned off, daily updates will be provided until power has been restored.
Additional languages Reflecting the diversity of its customer base, PG&E’s emergency website will be available in 13 languages by September. Currently, the website is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Russian, Vietnamese and Korean. Six additional languages will be available by September to include Farsi, Arabic, Hmong, Khmer, Punjabi and Japanese. Customers will have the opportunity to choose their language of preference for viewing the information when visiting the emergency website landing page at pge.com/pspsupdates. When a PSPS event is called, customers with their preferred language set to Spanish will receive notifications in Spanish. For all other languages, customers will receive notifications in English with the option to get to in-language versions. Updates will also be provided via social media channels, local radio and TV outlets including multicultural media outlets. Customers can choose their preferred language for notifications by visiting pge.com/ mywildfirealerts or by calling 1-800-742-5000, where in-language support is available.
Reducing the risk of wildfire A PSPS will only be done as a last resort when the most extreme fire danger conditions are forecasted to help reduce the likelihood of an ignition and help keep our customers and communities safe. No single factor drives a PSPS as each situation is unique. PG&E carefully reviews a combination of many criteria when determining if power should be turned off for safety. These factors generally include, but are not limited to: • A Red Flag Warning declared by the National Weather Service. • Low humidity levels, generally 20 percent and below. • Forecasted sustained winds generally above 25 mph and wind gusts in excess of approximately 45 mph, depending on location and site-specific conditions such as temperature, terrain and local climate. • Condition of dry fuel on the ground and live vegetation (moisture content). • On-the-ground, real-time observations from PG&E’s Wildfire Safety Operations Center and observations from PG&E field crews.

support and technical assistance to low-performing nursing homes through its Quality Improvement Organizations. QIOs are composed of health quality experts and clinicians with experience in helping healthcare providers to improve the quality of care for people with Medicare. CMS directed QIOs to focus their efforts on providing education and training to all nursing homes in the country. Finally, CMS recently provided state and local officials with recommendations on phased re-openings of nursing homes in their areas, including when and under what circumstances to allow visitors. Visits from family and friends are generally restricted at nursing homes now to help control and prevent the spread of the virus except in compassionate care situations. We understand how hard it is to be separated from loved ones, especially elders, for so long. But as nursing homes meet certain criteria, they may be in a position to allow visitors again. Our guidelines recommend that visitation be allowed in Phase 3 with screening and additional precautions, including social distancing and hand hygiene (e.g., use of alcohol-based hand rub upon entry). We also recommend that all visitors wear a cloth face covering or face mask for the duration of their visit. You can read more about the reopening guidelines at cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-30-nh.pdf-0. Be assured that CMS will use every tool at its disposal to protect the health and safety of America’s nursing home residents.

Tahoe pet shelter asks community to lend a paw Cheyanne Neuffer Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe has been supporting the South Lake Tahoe community to provide pet assistance to those in need. They have distributed dog and cat food while offering several other services to the community. From April 3 to June 15, they distributed 1,719 pounds of dry dog food, 178 pounds of cat food, 1,103 canned pet food and 130 pounds of cat litter through their Pet Pantry program. HSTT has also issued 66 spay/ neuter vouchers and $1,385 through their emergency assistance program in 2020 so far to help their community pay for vet bills. HSTT was planning on several events, dinner parties and fundraisers throughout the summer to help bring in funds to cover the cost of these much-needed amenities they provide to the community.

December 2019, since the temporary closure of their office in South Lake Tahoe in mid-March, HSTT has altered ways to facilitate adoptions and continue to provide services to the community. Luckily, staff was able to either foster or adopt out all cats and dogs when shelter-in-place went into effect. “We’ve had an even bigger June than last year with adoptions,” Ellis said. The coronavirus has not hurt
adoption. However, Ellis said that there has been a substantial increase in people in the community needing support. HSTT is committed to keeping pets in their homes. “There is a new focus area in animal welfare so families don’t have to turn their pets in,” Ellis said. She explained that HSTT assistance programs help to provide that opportunity to families who are financially struggling. Ellis said that even during the pandemic, there has not been a major increase in surrendered pets. “People really care about the pets in our community,” she said. HSTT takes in dogs and cats from other surrounding areas to alleviate overabundance along with pets from high kill shelters. HSTT is the only nonprofit animal welfare organization in the South Lake area that provides programs and services to the community offering spay/neuter vouchers, vaccine clinics, vet assistance, pet food assistance, education and pet therapy. “Since opening our doors in South Lake Tahoe last year, the demand for our services has been consistently increasing,” said Stephanie Nistler, CEO of HSTT, in a press release. n

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 5125 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EL DORADO COUNTY ORDINANCE CODE Title 3 and Title 5-REVENUE AND FINANCE (previous Resolution 036-2000, Ordinances 4651, 4980, 5012 and 5027) TO UPDATE THE TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR’S SCHEDULE OF FEES, UPDATE THE EL DORADO COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE AND TO FORMALLY INCORPORATE THE BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE WITHIN THE EL DORADO COUNTY ORDINANCE CODE THROUGH THE ADDITION OF SECTION 5.04.030. Where the County has jurisdiction over the amounts charged, this ordinance updates fees to recover County costs for the providing services.

We looked forward Courtesy photo to holding All HSTT’s dogs and cats were fostered or fundraising adopted at the beginning of the pandemic. events and getting to know the community this year, but the COVID-19 crisis has eliminated that possibility.

Folsom Mask Makers seek more volunteers News release
F
olsom Mask Makers is a rapidly growing group of volunteers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for face masks in the community. This team project, which was launched mid-March, has created more than 32,000 DIY face masks for 100-plus greater Sacramento area organizations, including hospitals, medical groups, dentists, care homes, schools and emergency service agencies. Masks are also provided to community members who need them. Volunteers from Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado counties are sewing, washing and ironing fabric, preparing sewing kits and driving to pick up and deliver materials and finished products. Many volunteers are themselves healthcare providers, working long shifts and then volunteering in this effort. More volunteers are critically needed to meet the rising challenges and donations of materials such as 100% cotton fabric, elastic, vinyl and other materials are greatly appreciated. The mask makers are especially in need of people who can sew and help on the visual mask team in creating special masks that facilitate lip reading for the hearing impaired. For more information about volunteering and making donations visit the Folsom Mask Makers’ Facebook page.
