PG&E expands wildfire services Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors heard a presentation by PG&E about wildfire and shutoff programs that will be implemented this year. PG&E officials explained the tool they use to determine which areas are at most risk for wildfire. The California Public Utilities Commission map shows that most areas in El Dorado County with PG&E coverage have either elevated risk (tier 2) or have extreme fire threat (tier 3). PG&E services around 75,000 customers in those areas. Customers can go to cpuc.ca.gov/ FireThreatMaps to search their home address. The presentation also detailed on PG&E’s Community Wildfire Safety Program, which includes ways to reduce wildfire potential, improve situational awareness and how to reduce public safety power shutoff events. PG&E officials can monitor wildfire 24/7 with 135 new highdefinition cameras, which people can view online. They also track weather conditions via 300 new weather stations. To reduce the effects of PSPS events, more than 275 additional sectionalizing devices and transmission switches make power grids functional in the event of a shutoff. PSPS events are triggered during dangerous conditions and high winds; inspections and repairs from any damage will occur before power is restored. Low humidity, high wind conditions, dry material n

Each July El Dorado County Maintenance and Operations crews repair Mosquito Bridge, which has existed since 1867.
Busy bridge crew Mosquito Bridge gets annual fixings

s the clock hits 7 a.m. Tino Arteche, Camren Beckett, Tony Bellofiore, Dennis Davis, Gino Klare, Doug Lequire and Bob Richerson begin the El Dorado County Department of Transportation’s annual maintenance on historical Mosquito Bridge. The bridge has connected Placerville to the Mosquito and Swansboro communities since 1867, when horses crossed over. It was completely redone in 1939 and today the bridge closes for about three weeks every July so crews can repair the wear and tear — top to bottom. To get underneath the bridge, they get into a crate that can be lowered and moved from one end of the bridge to the other. Also known as the “swinging crate,” it has very strong support not only from the cable suspension, but also from the seven who work on it. All the safety measures have backups and those backups also have a backup. When someone is underneath Underneath it all is the bustling South Fork of the American River, where occasionally the crew will see expert kayakers navigating around the

Drought impacts
Lake Tahoe likely to drop below rim in three months Claire McArthur Tahoe Daily Tribune After two consecutive dry winters, Tahoe’s lake level is sitting a little over 1.5 feet above its natural rim — a threshold the alpine lake is forecasted to drop below in the next three months. And while the rise and fall of Lake Tahoe’s water level is cyclical in the short-term (with evaporation and downstream flow offsetting spring runoff filling the lake each year) and the long-term (the lake has fallen below its natural rim more than
20 times in the last century since data collection began), experts are concerned by the severity of the current drought and its impacts on water supply, wildfires and wildlife. To start, it’s the third driest year in terms of precipitation from melted snow and rain in 111 years, reported Chad Blanchard, the federal water master responsible for upholding the legal mandates of Tahoe’s water flow. According to the 11 Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL) weather stations in the basin, cumulative precipitation currently sits at
23.6 inches — 53% of average and just shy of the 22.6 inch record-low for this time of year. Evaporation — which accounts for the loss of 55% of the 6 feet of reservoir water stored between the lake’s natural rim and the Tahoe City dam — continues to outpace inflow, which was low this spring due to below-average snowpack and ground absorption from dry soil conditions. To a much lesser degree, water is lost from the lake due to releases from the dam n

Buchanan’s contention is that Jacobs’ plaque does not meet the necessary criteria set for reserved honor at the monument honor wall. The appeal is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday. The appellant and the applicant parties will have 10 each minutes to present their case, with an additional five minutes to rebut. The public and a family representative of Jacobs will also have an opportunity to speak. The supervisors will then consider all materials and arguments presented to them before making a final decision on whether to uphold the appeal.

hazards through home hardening and vegetation management, plus appropriate actions to take during a fire, are some of the goals of fire safe councils. Effective community and property fire prevention may help with the availability of fire insurance and the ability to sell homes. Protecting people, communities, businesses and the environment is a year-round effort. The Diamond Springs Fire Safe Council organizers hope to build on the outstanding work of the El Dorado Fire Safe Council and the 20-plus associate fire safe councils in El Dorado County.

In addition to increased community resources in the event of a PSPS, 5,550 batteries will also be provided to people in high fire-threat areas. Customers can qualify for a battery rebate program if they rely on water pumping and if they are a non-critical care business and utilize portable fuel generators and portable backup batteries. Rebates for this program are based on tiers; prices range from $300 to $1,000. PG&E is collaborating with the Disability Disaster Access and Resources program to provide accommodations such as hotel, transportation and food vouchers during a PSPS. Other resources include emergency electric vehicle charging services, providing 15 miles of charge for each vehicle at the nearest community resource center.

The info sign at Wrights Lake indicates day use is free … for now. Officials are in the process of considering a request to increase fees at this and other sites in the Eldorado National Forest.
Understanding forest fees
T
he Eldorado National Forest encompasses 786,994 acres, wandering through El Dorado, Amador, Alpine and Placer counties and Douglas County in Nevada. Four ranger districts exist within the ENF: Amador, Charlie Placerville, Pacific and Georgetown. It is a complex and ever-evolving forest, with numerous lakes, rivers, roads and trails spread throughout. It is far more than a bunch of trees where we like to wander. Over time, most of the places we go to in the ENF have ended up with a fee attached to them for day use — trailhead and wilderness parking and camping. The U.S. Forest Service, for quite a while now, has issued special-use concessionaire permits to qualified and successful bidders who manage any site the Forest Service doesn’t. The current ENF concessionaire is Royal Elk Park Management, owned by Adam Damm. The fee structure is part of the concessionaire’s contract. Fees have risen over the years, in small amounts. The increases are permitted under the concessionaire’s contract, after two years, and are negotiated with the forest supervisor. Jeff Marsolais is the current ENF supervisor. Marsolais has been with the Forest Service for 27 1/2 years. He has a bachelor’s degree in natural resource planning with a recreation focus and a master’s degree in natural resources. Marsolais has worked a wide variety of jobs within the service at different national forests. From a firefighter to deputy forest supervisor in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, and now the ENF Supervisor, he has a broad range of experience. He is responsible for all activities within the ENF. Recreation, fires, timber management, grazing, special uses and more. His job is stunningly complex. Recreation is a big part of what the Eldorado offers to most people. That term covers a variety of recreational pursuits. That’s where the concessionaire permit comes in. The concessionaire, Royal Elk Park Management, is responsible for managing most of the established camping areas and day use sites throughout the forest. On April 22 I received a press release from Jennifer Chapman, ENF media contact, titled “Plan Ahead: What to expect in 2021 when visiting the Eldorado National Forest – facilities upgrades, fee changes and reservations.” These are worth the read. The fee changes bit got my attention. The contract Royal Elk has allows for fee changes in the third year of the contract. Damm, owner of REPM, has asked for a “… site fee leveling/ increase,” stating, “Maintenance costs vary with distance to services and fees are being made consistent across the forest.” I interviewed Marsolais regarding this, what data Royal Elk presented justifying an increase and what the process is to either grant, modify or deny the request. Right now, that’s what it is — a request. Keep in mind that nothing having to do with the Eldorado National Forest is simple. It is a balancing and juggling act, performed on a greased high wire with the wind howling. First, REPM is a private business. The company know what they are bidding on, what the terms are, what’s
ferris
expected and what the costs are for doing everything the contract calls for. The USFS does not guarantee any permit holder a profit. The permit holder either makes a profit or doesn’t. They have to meet the provisions of the concession contract, which are clearly spelled
out. Increased visits to the forest impacts the recreation areas. Every five years the USFS compiles a visitor use report for each national forest. The ENF report was done in 2017 and is due to be done again. It is a statistical and analytical report covering many issues. What it indicates is that forest use has indeed gone up. The U.S. Forest Service is chronically underfunded. The costs to operate all the ENF areas have increased. Minimum wage, trash pick up, pumping the vault toilets, fuel and more have gone up. Partnering with the concessionaires makes it more possible to keep the facilities staffed and running smoothly. Private companies are able to add staff more quickly than the USFS can. Simply finding people who are willing to do the work required has become more difficult. The special use permit does allow for fees across the forest. The fee increase that Damm is asking for at the Wrights Lake area and Kirkwood Lake would up the day use fee from $8 to $10. Over the course of a season, the $2 per day increase adds up. While that isn’t a big jump, every dollar added to the cost of day use means that some people won’t be able to afford it or won’t be able to enjoy those areas as frequently. What, specifically, are the reasons for Damm’s request? The short answer is that costs increased and some fees did not. Costs don’t generally remain static. One example is the cost of trash removal for most of those dumpsters throughout the ENF. According to South Tahoe Waste Management, which services them, the cost increased 5.7% this year. That full dumpster at your campsite or picnic area costs $117 each time it’s emptied. Factoring in increases, those that are fairly consistent year to year, isn’t an overwhelming math problem. Other costs can ratchet up without any reason and those are hard to deal with. According to Chapman’s press release, “Wrights Lake Day Use and Trailheads and Kirkwood Lake Day Use will be fee free in 2021 to provide an opportunity for additional public input on the new fees at these sites…” Marsolais said the fee increase is not automatic. Public input, which is to say, your input, will be collected by engagement with forest visitors, email, contact with the cabin owners association and notices at the sites. According to Marsolais, “… we will be evaluating over the summer and hope to make a decision in the fall/ winter.” The information will be collected by the ENF, compiled and will aid in planning and scoping for the near future. Marsolais will make his decision on fee increases after that process is completed. Any increase will take place in 2022. The USFS responded to every request for information I asked for. Adam Damm/Royal Elk did not respond to requests for their input.

Thank You, California, for supporting those with ALS
T
hank you for your empathy and your commitment to patients and families in the Golden State suffering with ALS. Specifically, the biggest of thanks to Gov. Gavin Newsom, California’s Legislature and Department of Health AMY SUGIMOTO officials for approving $15 million over the next five years for a wraparound model of care funding. The initial funding grant, $9 million over the course of the last three years, expired this June. This original funding has been game-changing for the treatment of ALS in the state and the ALS Association’s four chapters serving California are truly grateful it will continue to provide the means to make a difference for thousands of people living with the disease. Why is it so important? The ALS Association has been battling with the disease for over three decades. Finding cures for all forms of ALS is our ultimate goal. As it currently stands, there is no known cause or cure for ALS. Neither of the two FDA-approved drugs for treatment of the disease has been effective at extending life for a person diagnosed with ALS for more than two to four months. While these drugs are not as effective as we hoped and we continue to invest in new therapies, our research has shown that ALS is more responsive to something else and that thing is — essentially — community. Today, the only way to meaningfully extend the length and quality of life for a person with ALS is to take a proactive approach, focusing on the evidence-based wraparound care model provided by the ALS Association’s four California chapters. In this way, it is possible to anticipate and manage the effects of disease progression, while also reducing the costs associated with managing the disease, which can exceed $250,000 annually for families living with ALS. The ALS wraparound model of care funding not only makes this treatment possible, but gives hope and life to thousands of patients and their loved ones across the entire state. “The ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter and UCSD ALS Certified Center of Excellence have been instrumental in my wellbeing to live life to the fullest,” said ALS patient Jessy Ybarra. “This funding is critical to improve the lives of those living with and affected by ALS.” A life-giving act, implemented in the most sensible way — ALS knows no racial, ethnic, geographic or socioeconomic boundaries, affecting both men and women. The disease afflicts indiscriminately; we must do everything we can to make treatment accessible to every Californian in need. In funding this crucial model, measures were implemented to ensure that distribution of funds ■

Letters to the Editor Catch and release EDITOR: fter reading the front page article on July 16 about the Reno pair that they caught stealing packages off front porches, I wanted to barf. I’m sure the officers who ran after them on that day wanted to do the same. Before the ink was dry on their report, these two went out the front. door with no bail. We will see them in court — like hell. They went back home to Nevada. I am sure if they did this crime in Nevada they would have spent some time in the Gray Bar Motel. Come to California to do your crime and go home at the end of the day. Our state legal system has merged with fish and game. Their new motto is “catch and release.” We have the biggest budget surplus in history and the state says we don’t have the money to keep 78,000 in prison. We must get “Gov. Nuisance” and his liberal buddies out in September. BARRY BATCHELOR Smith Flat

Hard work pays off EDITOR: think being a YouTuber is a real job. Most people who go viral from YouTube become celebrities and then it becomes their full-time jobs. People think it’s just luck, but that’s not all true. To blow up you have to put a lot of effort into your videos, including editing, good gear, etc. People with YouTube as a full-time job (or a side time job) normally make about $60,000 a year. But one YouTuber who has put in 10-plus years has made it to 100 million subscribers with over $25 million in revenue. In conclusion, YouTube is definitely worth the time put in and is definitely a job, one of the best actually. LANDON BECCACIO Boy Scout Troop 117

Was the “emergency” just another opportunity for government control? Are we being led back down the road to serfdom? (That’s slavery without the room and board.) California government is no longer doing the bidding of the people. Do you want boys to use the girls’ restroom and gym locker rooms? Do you want naked people riding buses and sitting in the parks at the edge of your family picnic? Do you agree that the rainwater that God drops on your land, the water that you pump from your well or the municipal water that flows to your home belongs to the government and can be turned on or off at its whim? If government controls your water, it controls your existence. We must stop government from intrusive control of our rightful ownership of such commodities as water. The California Central Valley agricultural land is dying of thirst while some in positions of power are decreeing the destruction of dams and water resources, decimating our “bread basket” economy and advocating building a train to nowhere. We, the people, need to control practical differences in laws and policies. We need to more wisely use traditional vocational education and opportunities. Traditional values/morals (prayer, family, civic and community pride) should be reintroduced in government and local institutions. — churches, schools, community projects. Appealing to the people on a more concrete level — jobs and industry — we need to return to forestry and lumber, mining and manufacturing and a more intelligent use of natural resources. We need to raise the level of responsible use of water, land, natural products and energy sources. For example, we need to raise the level of Shasta Dam (and stop the government from tearing down dams). The fish have lived for millions of years without man’s help. Species come and species go. Will your children survive? Our “ship of state” is not and shall not be the Titanic. It is the United States of America. We had best preserve it. DOUG ROSCOE Shingle Springs

But after about 10 minutes, we hadn’t moved, never mind at 550 mph, not even 1 mph backward. remarked, “maybe never.” They didn’t disagree. With that news I stand up in front of this 150- passenger, nearly full Boeing 727-200 and tell the passengers I have an airplane on the other side of Burbank Airport and am going to fly my Cessna Turbo 210 to San Jose, if anyone cares to join me? Four people get up, three guys and a woman. I told them to follow me to where my airplane was hangered and we will fly to San Jose; it should take about an hour and a half. One guy dropped out but the other three boarded my Cessna. It was a six-place aircraft so the comfort was easily that of the Boeing, although there would be no in-flight beverage service. After a thorough pre-flight check we took off and noticed the PSA Boeing still at the gate. We climbed out to about 10,500 feet and settled into a 210-mph cruise.

20 minutes, the guy in the right front seat showed some real interest in my avionics panel. ‘Wow,” he said, “alldigital, nice stuff.” He was impressed with the modernity of my bird. I started to explain what everything did and he said he was familiar with aviation as he worked for Hugues Aircraft. I asked him if he flew and he said not currently, but he had about 1,500 hours in F-4 Phantoms and about 100 missions over Vietnam. I said to him, “Why don’t you fly as sitting here next to a real fighter pilot I suddenly feel that my flying skills are somewhat inadequate.” I felt pretty insignificant at that point. Anyway, he told me about himself and his career. After the flight I ended up with a new friend. He didn’t want to fly the Cessna and told me I was doing just fine. Yeah, sure. ■

impressively sized boulders. “We all trust each other very much,” said Klare, who has done Mosquito Bridge repairs every July for about 30 years. “We are like a family.” The crew not only spends about three weeks a year fixing Mosquito Bridge — one of only three cable suspension bridges west of the Mississippi — but also fixes all El Dorado County’s bridges as a unit. This bridge gets the most repair out of any in the county … and for good reason. It sits about 100 feet over the American River and is only 9 feet, 2 inches wide. Brian Mullens, DOT’s deputy director of Maintenance and Operations, estimates that the bridge sees about 1,000 vehicle trips each day. This year the crew focused on repairing tire runners and applying a substance to preserve the cables. Beams and timbers were replaced last year. The crew may never have to do major repairs on the bridge again.
In March county leaders approved a $70 million bridge to be built near the current bridge, some 400 feet above the river canyon. It is estimated to begin construction in spring 2022 with a completion date of 2025, according to Mullens. When that bridge is complete, the current Mosquito Bridge will still be in place for pedestrians or cyclists to cross and, because heavy vehicles will no longer travel across, it will no longer require exhausting maintenance. The bridge crew will instead perform light maintenance every two years. Bridge repairs began July 12 and are expected to continue through July 29, with closures from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Drivers are sent on a detour via Rock Creek Road to reach their destinations (which typically adds about 45 minutes to the commute). The bridge is open during off-work hours. Klare said most people are appreciative of the work being done and they understand why it needs to be done.

The water level is low at Regan Beach in South Lake Tahoe.

to meet downstream water demands. “Floristan rates are the required rates of flow we have to meet year round. Those are the flows that meet power generation, municipal, industrial and agricultural demands. That’s the way it’s been since 1908,” explained Blanchard. “If natural flow does not meet those rates and we have water in storage, we have to release that water legally to meet those rates.” The release this spring of additional water credits banked from previous years for downstream recipients also accounted for a marked drop in the lake’s level. A recent forecast predicts that in three months, the lake will drop 1 1/2 feet, bringing it below its natural rim, said Blanchard. All but 3 inches of the drop from release downstream will be from evaporation. Though rainfall or higher evaporation rates could impact this timeline, falling below the rim could cause issues for downstream demands. “There will be some impacts to downstream users this year, but they will be fairly limited because of carryover storage that we had; however, going forward will entirely depend on what happens next year since our carry-over storage has been significantly reduced or depleted,” Blanchard explained. “We could have a big winter and hit the reset button and be done with drought talk until the next cycle or we could be in deeper.”
Ecological balance
There are a number of consequences the current drought conditions and low water can have on the ecological balance of the basin and beyond. “The low water conditions are probably affecting the growth of something called metaphyton, a sinuous, free-floating weedy kind of algae that occurs in strands particularly when we have warm water conditions as we do now, and when lake water levels are low it tends to get washed up on the beaches particularly on the South Shore,” noted Geoff Schladow, director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. “We think it’s going to be happening more and more this coming summer. You are going to see that and smell that. There will be more bugs in the air because of it and suddenly Tahoe’s beaches are not these wonderful things that we like them to be.” Without inflow from Tahoe into the Truckee River diluting nutrients and contaminants, Pyramid Lake, located downstream and northeast of Reno, will likely experience higher concentration of urban runoff and discharge from wastewater treatment plants in Reno and Sparks, added Schladow. Additionally, streams flowing into Tahoe that serve as spawning grounds for the Kokanee salmon, including Taylor Creek, may trickle out upstream of Tahoe, forcing the fish to lay their eggs in the less-than-ideal shallow waters near beaches. Though drought conditions often limit food and water sources for bears, forcing them into unusual places like neighborhoods, the bear activity on the Nevada side of the lake has been average this year. Between June and mid-July the Nevada Department of Wildlife received 66 bear-related calls, ranging from sightings to reports of the creatures on properties. By comparison, a natural food shortage last year led to a spike in bear-related calls totaling 171 in just June and July. “If this prolonged drought continues, this could change and it could lead to more wildlife interactions in neighborhoods as wildlife searches
for food and water,” cautioned Ashley Sanchez, NDOW public information officer.
Wildfire risk
The hot, dry conditions in the basin have, not surprisingly, put the Tahoe Basin at a high-risk for wildfires, though so far there have been no major blazes. “One of the things specifically around the basin that we’ve noticed is that the fuel moisture — the amount of moisture in the plants and trees — is very, very dry compared to the normal conditions this time of year,” explained Brian Newman, division chief for the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit. “We’re roughly four to five weeks ahead in regards to our drying cycle as we would be in a normal year.” Though fuels reduction work continues throughout the basin, Newman notes that a vast majority of fires in the basin continue to be humancaused, whether started by a cigarette tossed on the ground or a spark from a trailer chain dragging on the road. “Fortunately, we haven’t had anything major as far as fires in the basin so far, but we’ve had quite a bit of ignitions and even the small fires we’ve had have burned pretty hotly and more than they should this time of year. We’re definitely noticing that difference,” Newman said. Fire officials urge visitors and locals alike to visit tahoelivingwithfire.com to stay up to date on the current fire danger and red flag warning.
Rising temperatures
Rising temperatures in the 90s earlier this month have Tahoe residents concerned about more than just their lack of air conditioning. “We obviously have a huge amount of climate variability in our region, but it is very disconcerting because what we know about our observed climate and our modeled future climate is that these kinds of temperatures are going to be more normal going forward,” said Tim Bardsley, hydrologist at the National Weather Service in Reno. “The precipitation we don’t know as much about — how that’s going to change or not — but we are confident about the temperature change. That alone exacerbates drought. It increases our evaporation. It increases our water demands.” Unfortunately, Bardsley noted, there isn’t a great mechanism to accurately predict long-range precipitation and how this drought might play out. “A lot of this is probably tied in with climate change,” agreed Schladow. “Just looking at the data that is collected every 15 minutes on the lake level, we can see going back a 100 years that we’re starting to get these highs and lows more frequently. In the past it didn’t change that much. Now it goes from a high to a low in literally two years.” A big concern, Schladow added, is for lakes and reservoirs across California that are more susceptible to water loss, like Shasta Lake, which is facing its lowest level in at least 44 years. While Tahoe can be filled to the brim after one good winter — like the drought-busting 2017 season which filled the lake and spilled more down the Truckee — most lakes aren’t so lucky. “If we have another dry winter, we’ll get some increase in water but not what Tahoe needs to stop it from going below the natural rim again next year. The bigger problems are for lakes elsewhere in California that are more prone to water level loss than Tahoe,” Schladow said. “If there is a dry winter, then there really is an incredible water crisis looming.”

You hold all you are affiliated with to the high standard you expect from yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Be sure to include people in a decision-making process. Ask them to work, and give something extra to figuring things out. People will commit to the thing they are involved with. A lack of involvement is a lack of commitment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re on the lookout for a moment you can own, not sure what it’s going to be, and versatile on the matter. You’re ready to lob a funny quip, show up with the superstar look or swoop in to save the day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone shares what they want to do and you’ll get behind the goal, too, wanting to see it happen almost as badly as they do. It lifts the group when people are devoted to the outcomes of other people’s lives. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you started this venture, you didn’t have an audience in mind, but the more people you shared your journey with, the more people you wanted to see it. Now you have this slight pressure to perform, which makes things interesting. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t agree to the status quo; invent it! You won’t know what you’re capable of until you go through a process of raising the bar little by
little until the level makes you feel keenly alive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have an idea. You don’t need to convince anyone to get on board; you only need to explore, embody and enjoy your idea and the people who are a good fit will naturally involve themselves. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Each person is the center of their own scene, but some seem to own the role more than others. Your story overlaps with that of another in ways most pleasant. It’s a co-star situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make your schedule before you start the day because some of what’s on your list is hard. In the moment, you are not going to want to do them. The slight pressure of a predetermined schedule will keep you accountable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What are you looking forward to in the next three months? Having a happening to head toward will organize you differently. Your schedule will fill with unexpected delights leading up to the main event. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can assess the situation without judging the people involved. It’s a good time to reiterate... everyone is doing the very best they can. When they know better, they will do better. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t wait for instructions or work through a to-do list written by someone else. You’ll get the feeling that your ideas are the ones to follow. This isn’t arrogance; it’s truth. Act on it.

El Dorado Transit has a plan to replace its current fleet with electric buses and is currently asking for the public’s input. Commission. “We encourage the community to learn more about this project and let us know their thoughts.” In 2018 the California Air Resources Board adopted the Innovative Clean Transit regulation, which mandates that all bus fleets convert to zero-emission buses by 2040. As part of this mandate, small transit operators must submit a zero-emission bus rollout plan to CARB by July 2023. El Dorado Transit assumes
that transitioning to a 100% ZEB fleet will affect every aspect of its operations. This project will provide the agency with the tools necessary to successfully submit a ZEB rollout plan by July 1, 2023, and transition to a ZEB fleet by 2040.

Collected supplies will be distributed the first Friday of August through a distribution event coordinated in conjunction with the El Dorado County Office of Education. The National Retail Federation estimates that the average American family will spend close to $850 on school supplies and
back to school clothing this year, $59 more than last year. The school supplies collected during this drive are essential to offset these costs for local families who are struggling financially. Financial struggles are greater this year than in recent years due to COVID-19 and its impact on jobs and the economy. The Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference School Supply Drive Committee, made up of nine youth and two adult mentors, has had to change the way they collect donations from the community due to ever changing COVID19 guidance. In years past, the youth have been able to go into local businesses to request participation and support, as well as set up mini-collection events. This year committee members have had to embrace the use of virtual platforms and contactless donation collection within the community. Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference is a nonprofit youth driven organization with the mission to inspire and empower youth in leadership and service. Hands4Hope Youth Making A Difference offers hands-on education and community engagement opportunities to youth from K-12th grades through schoolbased and after-school programs in Sacramento and El Dorado counties.

lack Oak Mine Unified School District’s summer school program concluded July 15 to rave reviews from staff and students. Unlike former summer school programs narrowly aimed at remediation, this year’s program included a kindergarten through sixth-grade event at GT School of Innovation and a seventhsenior session at Golden Sierra Junior Senior High School. Options at all grade levels included “traditional” courses in English and math as well as social science, science, enrichment activities and lots of fun for students. GSJSHS students got to work on their Career and Technical Education courses as well. Students from all district schools came together at the two sites.

THE SEASON
“Hold These Truths”
by Jeanne Sakata, directed by Jeffrey Lo, live in-person and virtually on demand, co-production with SF Playhouse, Aug. 25-Sept. 26.
During World War II, Gordon Hirabayashi, a student at University of Washington in Seattle, fights the U.S. government’s orders to forcibly remove and mass incarcerate all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast. As he struggles to reconcile his country’s betrayal with his passionate belief in the U.S. Constitution, Gordon begins a 50-year journey toward a greater understanding of America’s triumphs — and a confrontation with its failures.
“Admissions”
by Joshua Harmon, directed by Michael Stevenson, 2018 Drama Desk & Outer Critics Circle Awards Winner for Outstanding Play Oct. 13-Nov. 14.
Do Business with a Professional You Can Meet in Person ✓ Eliminate Your Mortgage Payments ✓ Receive a Lump Sum, Monthly Payments or a Line of Credit ✓ Have Cash in Your Emergency Account Earns up to 6% to Use as you Like
Drop By or Make an In-Home Appointment - We’ll Come To You!
Sherri Rosen-Mason is head of the admissions department at a New England prep school, fighting to diversify the student body. Alongside her husband, the school’s headmaster, they’ve largely succeeded in bringing a stodgy institution into the 21st century. But when their only son sets his sights on an Ivy League university, personal ambition collides with progressive values with convulsive results.
“The Great Leap”
by Lauren Yee, directed by Jeffrey Lo, 2017 Kesselring Prize Winner, Jan. 26-Feb. 27, 2022. When an American college basketball team travels to Beijing for a “friendship” game in the post-Cultural Revolution 1980s, both countries try to tease out the politics behind this newly popular sport. Cultures clash as the Chinese coach tries to pick up moves from the Americans and Chinese-American player Manford spies on his opponents. Inspired by events in her own father’s life, Yee “applies a devilishly keen satiric eye to … her generation (and its parents).”
“Pass Over”
by Antoinette Nwandu, directed by TBD, 2018 New York Times Critics Pick, Sacramento premiere, March 16-April 17, 2022.
DON’T MISS
Gold Mine
The
Moses and Kitch stand around on the corner — talking shit, passing the time and hoping that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space with his own agenda and derails their plans. Emotional and lyrical, “Pass Over” crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, exposing the unquestionable human spirit of young men stuck in a cycle just looking for a way out.
“The Lifespan of a Fact”
by Jeremy Karekan, David Murell and Gordon Farrell, directed by Michael Stevenson, Sacramento premiere, May 4-June 5, 2022. Based on the true story of reporter John D’Agata’s essay “What Happens There.” “The Lifespan of a Fact” follows Fingal, who has a small job: to fact-check articles for one of the best magazines in the country. His boss has given him a big assignment: to apply his skill to a groundbreaking piece by legendary author D’Agata. But now Fingal has a huge problem: D’Agata made up a lot of his article. What starts professional quickly becomes profane. A brilliant comedy grappling with a seminal issue of our time.
“Smart People”
by Lydia R. Diamond, directed by Judith Moreland, Sacramento premiere, June 22-July 24, 2022.
Published bi-monthly in the Mountain Democrat and Village Life
It is the eve of Obama’s first election. Four of Harvard University’s brightest; a surgeon, an actress, a psychologist and a neuro-psychiatrist, are all interested in different aspects of the brain, particularly how it responds to race. But like all smart people, they are also searching for love, success and identity in their own lives. Lydia R. Diamond brings these characters together in this sharp, witty play about social and sexual politics. ■ See THE SEASON, page B4

Be prepared with a pet first aid kit as travel season begins Those who travel with their pets should be prepared with a first aid kit should an accident happen.
News release
T
ens of millions of people are expected to travel this summer. As COVID-19 drags on into a second spring and summer, not everyone is yet comfortable hopping on a plane so more people are adventuring outdoors for their travel time. Since many pet owners include their dogs (and the occasional adventure cat) in their travels, Best Friends Animal Society would like to emphasize the importance of having a first aid kit on hand and knowing how to use it, in case pet owners find themselves far from a vet clinic when an accident occurs. Todd Fleming knows first-hand the importance of having a first aid kit available. He and his 5-year-old adopted Rottweilershepherd mix Jasper have certainly had their share of amazing adventures. They’ve road-tripped from coast to coast, camped, hiked, backpacked, swum, snowshoed, rock climbed, mountain biked and skied together, but Fleming and Jasper were kayaking only 45 minutes from home when an unexpected injury could have ended Jasper’s adventure. Jasper was playing in the water near the shore when he suddenly yelped and limped from the lake bleeding profusely from his front paw. Luckily, Fleming’s brother-in-law, who is a nurse, had already paddled back to the parking lot when the injury occurred. He grabbed his first aid kit from his truck and reached Jasper within minutes, quickly controlling the bleeding with a pressure bandage created from a thick folded abdominal pad and Coban wrap.

For Fleming, the 45 minutes to the emergency vet clinic seemed like forever. Due to COVID-19 restrictions Fleming waited in the parking lot while Jasper underwent vascular surgery to repair the four veins and an artery that were cut, presumably by a broken bottle under the water. In a Facebook post from a follow-up visit to the vet clinic noted, “Jasper is a #utahadventuredog and was out kayaking with dad when he lacerated his paw on something in the lake. Without his owner and owner’s brother’s incredibly quick actions, Jasper may have bled to death.” Fleming now packs a first aid kit in his kayak and makes sure he always has one with him in his car and backpack so he’s prepared for emergencies while adventuring. “There was no way to keep pressure on the wound and also carry the dog,” he said. “Being caught far away from my car and not having a first aid kit with me could have been catastrophic. Having someone there with a first aid kit saved Jasper’s life.” Best Friends Animal Society veterinarian
Dr. Michelle Lugones shares her advice on how to be prepared to help your pet in an emergency, whether in the wilderness or in the house or backyard. “It’s important to have a pet first aid kit and know some basic skills because your pet could need first aid at any time, including when you least expect it,” Lugones said. “During COVID it’s especially important because sometimes it’s not as easy to get supplies at the local store as it was before the pandemic. Veterinary care is still available and emergency rooms are up and running, but it’s always wise to have
The season
some first aid supplies in case you aren’t close to an emergency room. That way you have the ability to say, cover an open wound before you transport your pet to an emergency clinic.”
Suggested items to have in a pet first aid kit • Pet first-aid book • Emergency contact list (including numbers for your veterinarian, an emergency vet clinic and a national poison control hotline.) • Pet’s prescription medications • Coban self-adherent wrap • Kerlex gauze roll
• Sterile gauze pads (in various sizes) • Abdominal (ABD) pads • Ace bandage wraps • Antiseptic pads or alcohol wipes • Antibacterial cream or ointment • Instant cold packs • Emergency blanket • Tweezers • Blunt scissors • Exam gloves • Styptic blood clotting powder • 10 ml. sterile saline syringes • Cotton balls/cotton swabs • 3% hydrogen peroxide • Headlamp or flashlight • Collapsible water bowl
• Sling for carrying medium or large dogs •“A basket muzzle is important so if a dog is injured and painful, he can’t bite anyone but can still open his mouth to breathe while you move him,” Lugones explained. “If a dog has broken a leg, for example, and you have to get him in the car, even as gentle as you can be, the pain may cause him to attempt to bite.” Preventive Vet offers this information on what to put in your dog first aid kit and how to use the items, along with a printable shopping list, at: How to Make a First-Aid Kit for Dogs (preventivevet. com/dogs/how-toeasily-put-together-apet-first-aid-kit), and an equivalent one for cats: How to Easily Put Together a FirstAid Kit for Your Cat (preventivevet.com/ cats/how-to-easily-puttogether-a-pet-first-aidkit-for-your-cat). It’s also a good idea to consider taking an online pet first aid class to become familiar with the skills needed to help a pet in an emergency. A little planning goes a long way in being prepared when an accident happens, which could happen at home or out on an adventure.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2871 LAUREL DR, POLLOCK PINES, CA 95726-9609 A.P.N.: 101-252-033-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the
terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 67,218.22. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00296-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877)-518-5700, or visit this internet website https://www.realtybid.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00296-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Snowline begins ‘Link-Up’ campaign to benefit children’s grief program News release Healing All Together — Snowline Hospice’s Place for Grieving Children, Teens and Their Families (HAT), began as a pilot program in January 2009 as a place where children (and their families) could work through their feelings after the death of a loved one. This year marks year 12 of HAT. To date 268 children ages 5 to 18 have found a place of healing. It is a place where they, alongside peers who have suffered a similar loss, can convey through art, motion, music, or play what words alone cannot express. The program has been so well received in El Dorado County that Snowline began a new Healing All Together in Sacramento in September of 2018, located at the Sacramento Children’s Museum. Snowline Hospice started the “Link-Up” campaign to help raise funds for the children’s program. This year the community once again has an opportunity to “Link-Up” with young people in grief by helping to provide the financial support needed to serve more boys and girls and their families this Fall. Now through Sunday, Aug.
8 community members will have an opportunity to purchase a paper “link” signifying their encouragement and support of young people entering the Healing All Together program. Links cost $1 each and 100 percent of each dollar given goes directly toward funding the Healing Together program. The Link-Up Campaign will occur at the following locations: Placerville @ 50 Highway Thrift Store, 3961 El Dorado Road, (530) 622-1710; Diamond Springs Patient Care Office, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, (530) 621-7820; Cameron Park Thrift Store, 3300 Coach Lane, (530) 6768708 and Folsom Thrift Store, 616 E. Bidwell St., (916) 984-5853. Healing All Together — Snowline Hospice’s Place for Grieving Children, Teens and Their Families is a service of Snowline Hospice and as such the program is free of charge to residents of El Dorado County, Sacramento County and other neighboring areas. For more information about the Link-Up campaign or the Healing All Together program contact Snowline Bereavement Services at (530) 6217820 or (916) 817-2338.
