Officer Opp braves Grizzly home fire, saves kittens Thomas Frey Staff writer California Highway Patrol officer Jarvis Opp was assisting a fellow officer with a DUI crash around 8:30 p.m. Saturday night in Grizzly Flat when a man in a pickup pulled up to alert him of a nearby house fire. “This guy was super frantic,” Opp said. “I could tell (he) was serious.” Opp said he dropped what he was doing to attend to the Tyler Drive fire, about two blocks away, where he saw flames rising from a home’s roof. Opp said he found three children outside but they didn’t know where a missing sibling was. He also learned five kittens were trapped inside. Opp said he couldn’t get through the front door because it was blocked but when he tried the backyard, he was able to get through a sliding door and into the house — without fire protection equipment.

County educators address ‘one size fits all’ guidance Thomas Frey Staff writer Administrators of three school districts in El Dorado County have written letters to state officials, opposing statewide COVID-19 guidance. The California Department of Public Health announced July 12 that it was easing its mask guidance for kids in a K-12 setting based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s updated recommendations. The new safety measures for faculty and students make wearing masks outside optional, but when inside masks are required. CDC’s new guidance also reflects recent evidence that indicates in-person instruction can occur safely without physical distancing when masking is implemented. Local educators say COVID-19 restrictions should be made at the district level, not the state. “Face covering requirements should be left in the hands of locally elected school boards,” states Mother Lode Union School District Superintendent Curtis Wilson in his July 22 letter to CDPH. “California is a diverse state and each school district and local health conditions differ. Therefore, implementing a ‘one size fits all’ face covering guidance policy seems unreasonable and unscientific.” County supervisors voted to support residents who oppose mask mandates, especially “no n

22 EID generators funded with some FEMA money Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent At an estimated cost of $2.4 million, the El Dorado Irrigation District will fund 22 generators, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency paying 75% of that figure — $1.8 million. EID will pick up 25% of the cost. The application for these funds through the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services was authorized by the board June 24, 2019. A year later on June 2 the district received notice from FEMA that its application for 10 drinking water pump backup generators and 12 wastewater lift station generators had

been approved. Before buying generators the district must advertise for design services proposals. Design is expected to be completed in 2022, with construction in the spring of that year, including automatic activation during a power outage and connection to its supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The generators are expected to be operational by summer 2023, according to information provided by district Senior Engineer Liz Carrington. The water pump station backup generators will also ensure there is enough water pressure for firefighters hooking up to fire hydrants to put out a fire.

Our There’s No Place Like Home
Board President Pat Dwyer noted that from his experience on the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council he knows how complex and vexing applying for such grants can be. He also noted this is a one-time savings for generators that the district would have had to buy anyway. The district has three years to use the grant. In the meantime, work continues by Granite Construction on the $42.7 million Folsom Lake pump station upgrade. The overhead bridge crane and stainless steel piping required additional lugs welded n

Guynith Beryle Pierre Aug. 18, 1929 – June 21, 2021
Guynith ”Guy” Pierre, was a caring nurse, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She passed away in the early morning hours of June 21, in Reno, Nev. at the age of 91. Guynith is survived by her three daughters; Celine (Dennis) O’Brien of Placerville, Calif.; Kathrine (Robert) Tinker of Reno, Nev.; Yvonne (Robert) Gagliasso of Saratoga, Calif., and adored grandchildren, Kate Elyse, Marco Robert, Nicolo Pierre, Giorgio William; numerous nieces, nephews and loving friends. Guynith was born in McAlester, Okla., to Evelyn Maud and Charles Edwin, at home during the first year of the depression with her two siblings Donna Marie and Charles Edwin Jr. Her father and his brothers all worked with the railroad and moved often as the railroad grew out west, eventually reaching California. Originally settling in San Francisco then to San Jose, Guynith attended schools in San Jose and graduated from registered nurses training at O’Connor Hospital. In 1953 Guynith married the love of her life Robert George Pierre. Robert (Bob) a rancher from Sunnyvale, Calif., stole her heart and supported her through her nursing education. Moving later to Camino, Calif.; Bob purchased a pear and apple ranch and Guy worked as a nurse. There they raised their three daughters. Guy worked with several hospitals and private doctors before finding her niche in the Emergency Department at Kaiser Morse Avenue and Kaiser Stockton, where she retired at the age of 83. For over 50 years Guynith was an example of what nursing should look like. Many of the ED staff worked together for over 20 years. They were a family, they worked side by side, laughed, cried and supported one another. From the words of her colleagues and friends, many attempted to “follow her lead.” “The care we all provided, as well as the competence was comparable to Guynith’s clinical practice, but as far as style and grace were concerned, she was in a class of her own!” Guynith could never be shaken, she exuded professionalism every day and she was one of the team, she advocated for the patients and she advocated for the nurses as a member of their union. She and her sisters and brothers of the ER were not to be reckoned with! Guynith was an incredibly wise and thoughtful friend to all her knew her. She maintained relationships through the years and celebrated her 90th birthday in Reno, Nev., at her daughter Kathrine (Kitt) and Robert’s (Rob) home where she was honored by over 50 of her closest family and friends. During the last years of her life Guynith enjoyed many fun evenings visiting with family and friends, playing keno and pai gow whenever possible at the Atlantis Casino, dining at fine restaurants, cooking at home, sitting in the sun, playing cards and laughing. Guynith was a wonderful mother and grandmother, she took great pride in her family and set a strong example. She was a source of inspiration in everything she did. She kept current with world events, sports, politics and was always impeccable in her appearance and attention to detail. She loved style and regularly requested trips to Nordstrom to see the new fashion, buy some Armani Makeup (with free samples of course! ) and dine at the café. She loved beautiful clothes, jewelry, hair, makeup, the outdoors, good wine and of course playing cards. All that were close to her will remember her tremendous love for life and her husband, her children, her friends and her passion for nursing. She was a force, always challenging the status quo, questioning the details and displaying her pleasant personality, contagious laughter, sense of humor and intellect. In 2016 Guynith was received into the Catholic Church through her own profession of faith and formal reception at Sacred Heart of Saratoga, Calif. Her faith was very personal to her and she took great comfort in the teachings of the Lord. Guynith’s final resting place will be with her husband at Alta Mesa Memorial Park, Palo Alto, Calif. A celebration of life is planned for August 18 at her daughter and sons-in-law home in Saratoga at 4:30 p.m. All those who would like to celebrate Guy’s life are welcome. Please contact family members for details.

With sadness, Betty HarrSigl (Nee Cilk) passed away at the age of 92 on June 28, in Cameron Park, Calif. She was born in Oakland, Calif., Feb. 5, 1929 to Lydia (Weis) Cilk and Henry Cilk, both of whom were Benkendorf Germans from Bessarabia, Russia. She had two older brothers, Robert and Lawrence Cilk, both of whom are deceased. Betty was preceded in death by first husband of 22 years, John Wilson; second husband of 16 years Carl Harr and lastly by Lon Sigl of Placerville, the love of her life, after 13 years of marriage. She is survived by sons John Wilson and Carl Wilson; step-daughters Cathy (Harr) Hamilton; Donna (Harr) Mcfall; Dianna (Harr) Armstrong; Sharon Sigl; Michell (Sigl) Yeager and Jeff Sigl. When Betty moved to the foothills in 1988, after the death of her second husband, she adopted quickly to her new environment. She rekindled her love of dancing while enjoying games of pinochle and Mexican train with friends. She joined the Newcomer’s Club and quickly became known as “the hugger” as she joyfully welcomed new members. Betty also joined the Placerville Widowed Persons Club where she eventually met Lon Sigl who was recently widowed. Lon and Betty were married in 1995. They were soul mates who lovingly cared for each other as they traveled and cruised through the U.S. and Europe. Betty was hard working, fiercely independent and had a gift with children. She always had something nice to say about everyone she met. A celebration of life for close friends and family will follow.

Placerville City Council recall effort gathering signatures Posted outside of a downtown Placerville business at 374 Main St., supporters of a recall of four of five City Council members gather signatures Wednesday afternoon to get the recall on a ballot. Pictured from left are Alicia Selby, Michelle Witt, Maggie Boling and Sasha Iudina.
Mountain Democrat staff Organizers of an effort to recall four of five members of the Placerville City Council have until Oct. 11 to gather the signatures of — for each of those councilmembers — 1,672 registered city voters. Those on the recall petitions are Mayor Dennis Thomas, Vice Mayor Kara Taylor and Councilmembers Patricia Borelli and Michael Saragosa. Councilwoman Jackie Neau is excluded. Recall organizer Mandi Rodriguez said councilmembers “failed to follow a process; failed to represent constituents.” So far she estimated some 60-70 signatures have been collected.

City Clerk Regina O’Connell said signatures will be checked against the Registrar of Voters’ records to ensure they are from registered city voters. To sign the recall
petitions city voters can go to 374 Main St. in Placerville on Wednesdays between 3 and 7 p.m. Rodriguez said people behind the recall effort will also be out at community events
gathering signatures and going door to door. She said they will even bring a petition to a voter if requested. For more information about the recall effort call (530) 334-6390.

The change order for this work was $193,276, which the board approved 4-0, with Director Brian Veerkamp absent for the July 26 meeting. Money advised more change orders are coming. The change order approved July 26 left $2.4 million in the project contingency fund. Change orders have amounted
to 4% of the initial construction contract. The original contract with Granite was $35,556,800. Change orders have bumped that up to $36,982,811. Supporting contracts have grown slightly from $2.6 million to $2.7 million. Capitalized staff time has held steady at $660,000. In a separate item the board approved replacing its copper wire based wide area network with new network equipment that will generate high-capacity telecommunication service
through AT&T proprietary equipment. This newer Wide Area Network will serve Deer Creek Sewer plant and Sly Park facilities for $106,000 plus a $24,000 change order to provide this service to the Folsom Lake pump station. An addition a separate item approved $158,000 for SCADA storage. A subscription contract for three years totals $440,000. July 26 was the first time since COVID-19 shutdowns that the board met in its regular board room with the press and presenters in attendance.

California Matters
Three growing crises could affect Newsom recall election
I
n many ways, the campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is evolving just as Newsom hoped it would. The polls indicate that recall sentiment is running well behind what would be needed to oust him from office. He enjoys solid Dan Walters support from his own Democratic Party, even though he won’t be listed as a Democrat on the Sept. 14 ballot, thanks to an error by his campaign. Newsom and the Legislature advanced the date of the election to take advantage of his current popular support and give his opponents less time to make their case for the recall. Moneyed interests and wealthy supporters have given Newsom a hefty campaign treasury, more than $30 million so far, that far outstrips what the pro-recall campaign has mustered. Finally, the list of would-be successors has only a few dozen names, none a prominent Democrat and none with the public standing or the fundraising ability to mount a fullfledged campaign. Circumstances The state’s disjointed favor California and much-diminished Gov. Gavin Newsom Republican Party cannot coalesce around as recall election a single candidate and looms but three the political media, crises could have particularly those from elsewhere, seem an effect. mesmerized by the mock candidacy of former athlete and reality television figure Caitlyn Jenner. All of that notwithstanding, current events — drought, wildfires and a flareup of COVID-19, particularly — are a political minefield for the governor. Newsom wants to continue bopping around the state, under the guise of official business, proclaiming that California is “roaring back” from the pandemic and the sharp recession that resulted from his shutdown orders and touting the new state budget’s generous benefits, including cash payouts, that voters will be receiving. Newson eagerly took center stage after the pandemic exploded in early 2020, issuing executive orders to take solo command of the crisis and making frequent and lengthy webcasts to explain what he was doing to combat the dread coronavirus. With the recall election now just weeks away, however, Newsom is clearly shying away from assuming public command of the newest crises.

Letters to the Editor Is it a north/south issue? EDITOR: et me start by saying I’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19 and, because I go to Africa from time to time, just about everything else out there. I’ve followed the government guidelines (masks, isolation, toilet paper hoarding) since the beginning. I see that our government has an embargo of anyone from Canada who has not been inoculated for COVID while at the same time has allowed more than 1.5 million people crossing our southern border entry into the U.S. without being checked for COVID. What’s strange is these people are given bus tickets to travel to parts unknown across our country by the very same government that won’t let Canadians in even if they test negative for COVID. I can’t help but wonder if this Blue State government is sending these people primarily to Red States. Also can’t help but worry at just how contagious Canadians must be. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
L
California’s drought, electricity shortage and big tech’s impact EDITOR:
W
hile we received news this week that Oroville’s Hyatt powerhouse will be shutdown as of August to preserve water resources, what is seldom mentioned in mainstream media is how big-tech companies such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google consume massive amounts of electricity and water in the western United States to power and cool their data centers to serve up content and apps for smartphones and internet sites. First, a little background on big tech data centers cooling and power technologies. Large, multi-acre data centers use potable water to pump through “chillers” to cool the hundreds of thousands of servers and network switching devices in each facility. These chillers convert the water to un-recoverable water vapor in the process of cooling
(or more precisely removing heat) from each facility. These same massive data centers tend to demand intense amounts of electrical energy, about 5 kilowatts per rack per hour: a space of 19 inches wide by 6 feet tall. Google publishes that its own power consumption for its data centers is 12,000,000,000 kilowatts per year. According to the EPA, an average home uses about 10,650 kilowatts annually. So, Google’s power consumption could roughly power 1,100,000 homes per year. In a Time magazine article dated 2020, Google negotiated a water agreement with Mesa Arizona to secure 1,000,000 gallons of water per day (365,000,000 gallons per year) for water chiller cooling consumption. None of the water would be recoverable because it would be vaporized in the cooling process. This annual water consumption from one Google data center would support about 2,500 homes per year based on a household water usage amount of 144,000 gallons, according to the EPA. Most of the data centers that Google, Amazon and Facebook use are located near large hydro-electric plants in Oregon and Washington state: sources of California’s energy imports to offset Gavin Newsom’s “green energy” plans of transitioning from natural gas fired electric power plants to solar and wind. Of course, to state the obvious, these data centers must operate 24-7-365 with no disruption and therefore are not good candidates for solar and wind power generation. So, when we are asked to trim our water usage for the pending regulatory controls that will ultimately require a limit of 50 gallons per person per home per day, I wonder if this is for conservation or to subsidize big tech. It is easy to villainize California agriculture because it is hard to conceal vineyards, trees, cows and fields.

Politicians are so arrogant and ignorant that they even lose money when they take over profitable, illegal industries. Other states manage to lose taxpayer money running liquor stores (Alabama, certain counties in Maryland) and even on sports betting (Oregon). Only governments can mismanage so badly. Back to marijuana: Illinois’ rules are probably the worst. “Only ‘social equity veterans’ in Illinois can get a license,” explained Howard. In other words, new licenses are supposed to go to prior “victims of the drug war.” But the bureaucrats’ rules are so complex that a full year after legalization, zero new licenses have been issued. Meanwhile, politically connected people grabbed every existing license. One billionaire from the Wrigley gum family “paid $155 million for six dispensary licenses,” said Howard. Illinois is “creating a cartel.” Vice News confronted Illinois bureaucrat Toi Hutchinson, the governor’s cannabis adviser. She denied that her licensing program is a failure. “It’s delayed, but it’s not done yet,” she said. “The fixes that we’ve been able to do almost in real time
... another thing that is not normal for government. I don’t know how to solve for racism and capitalism and structures that have existed for 100 years.” She blames capitalism for her failure to allow capitalism to work? Arrogant government workers have little knowledge and no shame. Howard said Illinois is “like (old) Russia, where they had the state pick and choose winners and losers.” Other states have bad rules, too. “Florida and Arizona are millionaires’ clubs,” Howard added. “You have to not only grow it; you have to be able to produce it and process it. You have to own your own dispensary. If you have $40 or $50 million, it’s great.” Massachusetts requires all dispensaries to black out windows lest anyone see the marijuana. Stores must also check everyone’s IDs multiple times. Legalization doesn’t have to be stupid. Oregon and Colorado have

For example, when Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, faced a lesser drought in 2015 he ordered a mandatory 25% cut in water usage, but Newsom has issued only a tepid call for a voluntary 15% reduction, clearly unwilling to take the political heat for telling Californians they can’t water their lawns as often as they’d like. When the highly infectious Delta variant of coronavirus began pushing up numbers of new cases, several counties, including Los Angeles, reinstated orders to wear masks in indoor settings. However, when Newsom was recently asked whether a statewide order was looming, he responded with words that amounted to ducking the issue. Moreover, in sharp contrast to his highprofile command of the pandemic in 2020, he’s content to let state health officials do the talking this time. When a news organization revealed that Newsom’s administration had accomplished only a small fraction of promised fuel reduction in fireprone areas, it led some legislators to complain that Newsom’s proposed state budget was deficient in fire protection. He quickly filled the hole with some extra money, just as fires began erupting throughout the state. All three crises — drought, fire and COVID19 — seem destined to become more acute in the coming weeks and while Newsom may prefer to
accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative, to paraphrase the old song, he opens himself up to valid criticism if he sidesteps them for political purposes. Moreover, if COVID-19 cases continue to climb, the question of reopening schools will once again arise and Newsom will be on the spot just as California voters begin marking their recall ballots.

reasonable rules and in Oklahoma, “anyone can get a cannabis license,” said Howard, “provided you’ve lived in Oklahoma for two years.” The result? “You get a lot more innovation — more entrepreneurs coming into market. Some go out of business and some do very well ... It’s free market capitalism.” That works. If only politicians would let people try it.

son’s Grizzly Flat home in December, has been credited with a humanitarian mission that rescued nearly 32,000 Vietnamese refugees during the Vietnam War. Leading the USS Kirk, Jacobs extracted U.S. military forces and civilian personnel from South Vietnam in the war’s closing days. On his own initiative he encouraged fleeing South Vietnamese Air Force helicopters loaded with refugees to land on his tiny ship, thereby rescuing those aboard 12 helicopters. Jacobs and the USS Kirk then were ordered to return to rescue the Vietnamese Navy. In what followed Jacobs and the USS Kirk headed south to Con Son Island where they found 32 antiquated and defenseless ships crowded to their mast tops with more than 30,000 refugees. Jacobs sent his officers and petty officers to the ships to assess their material readiness before attempting a harrowing escape from Vietnam across the South China Sea to the Philippines. He oversaw the transfer of refugees from sinking ships to stable ones and got the fleet ready to sail. According to the monument’s criteria for military honoraria and civilian recognition, plaques honoring events, units or heroes must: • Those being honored must be recipients of the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross or any person or unit who, while serving with the military, distinguishes himself in action by extraordinary heroism. • While engaged in action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or, while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict in which the United States is not a belligerent party

attention to Tyler Jacobs. “I want to talk about Tyler. Everybody here owes him an apology,” Coca said. “I’ve watched this young man go through such pain that he didn’t deserve. He is the son of an American hero.” Some still contended that the rules should be met. Commander of Disabled Veterans Chapter 63 Allen Amaro, one of the voting members of the committee of federally chartered veteran organizations that denied the original appeal, said that there was not enough information provided to him at the time he made his vote to see that the Honor Wall was “protected.” Amaro cited other veterans who lived in El Dorado County defined as heroes but who did not meet criteria. “Let’s not define what a Medal of Honor is or what a Silver Star is or a Cross, that’s already been defined. We are not trying to change that,” Amaro said. “Capt. Jacobs was one of those suggestions made but the Honor Wall should stay the Honor Wall.” County supervisors weighed in on the subject as well before voting unanimously to deny the appeal. “I’m embarrassed that we got this far,” said Supervisor George Turnboo of District 2. “This is sickening to me and an embarrassment to the county. I thought this was going on the wall.” District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin said since there is plenty of room on the wall, the Navy captain’s plaque should go up. “It felt good that everyone was in favor of the plaque,” said Tyler Jacobs. “I’m happy and relieved it is over with and I just want to move on. It has caused a lot of problems in my life for a lot of months.” Tyler is now planning his father’s burial at sea in San Diego, where he was stationed for more than 25 years.

never had official firefighter training. “It’s all kind of a blur,” Opp said. “My sergeant was with me, Sgt. Pope, and we were looking for any other kids that might be in there, that may be scared, sleeping or passed out from smoke inhalation. “I have five kids of my own … I’m kind of thinking like a dad for a moment, just trying to speedily go through every room as quickly as I
can.” While no kids ended up being in the house, Opp and his fellow officer were in and out of the house saving the kittens. “As we’re looking in the rooms for any humans, we kept coming across these cats and we were kind of just picking them up and grabbing these scared little kittens,” Opp said. He said the cats were clawing on
him as they were delivered safely outside. He then headed back inside and into the thick, choking smoke to search the remaining rooms. El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies had joined Opp and Pope at that point. “We tried getting into (a rear room) several times but the smoke was just too thick. We couldn’t see, couldn’t breathe,” Opp said.
They got out of the house and by that time a firefighter showed up. Opp said he helped pull a hose around the back of the house to get the fire under control. Opp then left the scene to return to the DUI crash. Damage to the home was moderate, according to fire officials. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

On Thursday, July 22, Meriem Amimi, 25, of Sparks, Nev., died after allegedly driving recklessly on Highway 50 near Tamarack Pines and Sierra-at-Tahoe roads. Amimi, who was driving a 2006 Saturn Vue, was speeding and unsafely passing other cars when she collided with a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox that was driving the opposite direction, according to California Highway Patrol investigators. The Saturn was torn in two pieces as a result of the collision with the Chevrolet and Amimi ejected from

the car. Half of the Saturn collided with a 2013 Toyota Carolla that was following the Chevrolet. Amimi succumbed to her injuries at the scene, said the CHP report. The occupants of the Chevrolet, all of whom were aged 20 years old and younger, were transported from the scene by emergency medical personnel. One passenger was taken to Renown Medical Center with major injuries and the driver, as well as three passengers were taken to Barton Medical Center with major injuries. The driver of the Toyota was transported from the scene by family. The Chevrolet caught fire briefly and the flames were put out by concerned bystanders who stopped to help.

masks for kids,” at the June 29 Board of Supervisors meeting where dozens showed up with protest signs or spoke about the hindrances of masks. “The guidelines and protocols school districts have been expected to follow have been both confusing and unaligned between the agencies mandating action,” reads a joint statement from Placerville Union School District Superintendent Eric Bonniksen and the district’s Board of Trustees President Chris Belmer. That statement was sent to CDPH June 9. “It has created many undue
challenges for local districts to effectively support our students, both academically and emotionally.” CDPH officials say masks “best promote both safety and in-person learning by reducing the need for physical distancing.” “From our perspective, local public health officers possess the necessary expertise regarding COVID-19 to direct schools as to the measures necessary for local schools to operate safely,” said Buckeye Union School District Superintendent David Roth in his July 26 letter to CDPH.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). As the warrior of the zodiac, you observe the rules of battle, aware of the advance and the retreat. What matters is honor in both scenarios -- to be brave and never to desert the others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Falling in love with a person is different from falling in love with the way you feel when you’re around that person. The distinction will be worth noting. Healthy relationships are thoroughly considered. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll disagree, but you won’t disrespect. For this reason, you’re just the person who can help everyone work together for a common aim. Good leaders unify the group. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When the apple cart of expectation overturns, it’s a surprise, but it doesn’t have to be an upset or an obstacle. This is a chance to question and update your premise to match reality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you love to learn, you’d rather figure things out yourself than listen to someone serve up what they think you ought to know. Others share your preference. Instead of preaching, you’ll offer an opportunity for discovery. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s like you’re on a hike, striving to get up to the elevation that will allow you a better view of the situation. The miles you travel today will help you get the past into proper perspective and glimpse the future, too. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you wouldn’t say something
in front of the smartest person you know, don’t say it. Also, consider whether you’re hanging out in the right places. Your company should elevate you, not cause you to dip your standards. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Which has a higher value, appropriateness or humor? Honesty or creativity? Which is more useful to cultivate, abundance or safety? There are no absolute right answers. You’ll notice your value system is changing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve told your story many times and in different ways, smartly catering to the themes on the table. What you add to today’s themes will really help the others, especially if you keep your contribution brief. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People from other backgrounds may have vastly different notions of what’s appropriate. Most will be able to adjust to the expectations of the moment, as long as those are clearly communicated in a way they can understand. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The successful timing of the day can be summed up in one word: early. It will pay to get a jump on everything from traffic to investments to the day itself, arriving on the scene before the others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no question you’ve been gifted with talent. But what is more valuable is your other gift -- the difficulty you were handed. Overcoming this has made you capable and ready to turn today’s opportunity into gold.

Carrick, Lightfoot, Baldwin and Wiesz score speedway wins Gary Thomas Placerville Speedway When it comes to consistent speed over the last couple months few have been better than Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, who claimed his third victory in his last three Placerville Speedway starts with the winged 360 sprint cars Saturday. By winning the feature Carrick also took home a $1,000 bonus courtesy of the Dent Family and Thompson’s Family of Dealerships in memory of Tom Schirle. Sharing victory lane Saturday — Fan
Cell Tower
Appreciation Night — were Tyler Lightfoot with the limited late models, Nick Baldwin with the pure stocks and Ben Wiesz with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. A total of 87 race cars filled the hill. Carrick started on the outside of the front row and jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 25-lap sprint car main event. The 19-year-old was never seriously challenged. Johnson was fun to watch as he pounded the cushion while working his way forward in the feature. Carrick rolled the bottom to
perfection however and went on to take the checkered flag for his fifth career Placerville triumph. One week after tallying a career-best finish at the track Johnson came back and bettered that to snag an impressive runner-up effort. Justyn Cox, Croft and Andy Forsberg completed the top five. Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot had car issues early on that could have left him parked for the night. The twotime limited late models winner this year, however, proceeded to climb aboard the Paul Gugliomoni machine and ended up
driving to his third triumph of the season. Diamond Springs’ Dan Jinkerson came home second over Randy Shafer, Rod Oliver and Eddie Gardner. Oakley’s Nick Baldwin continues to be the man to beat at Placerville Speedway in the pure stock division. After lining up on the pole Baldwin drove a phenomenal 20-lap contest on Saturday to earn his sixth victory of the season on the quartermile. Kevin Jinkerson put together another solid night to finish second over Ryan Peter, Jason Poppert and Jimmy Wall in the top five.
As always, the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association brought out a stellar field of cars with 32 total on hand. Colfax competitor Ben Wiesz grabbed the lead early on and held off all challengers to get his second win of the season at Placerville Speedway. Placerville Speedway will be dark this weekend with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour competing Saturday at Merced Speedway. The El Dorado County Fairgrounds bullring will return to action with the 16th annual Mark Forni Classic on Saturday Aug. 7.

One of the proposed light standards would house nine antennas along with stadium lights and speakers within a 175-foot lease area. The second light standard would hold stadium lights and speakers only. According to deputy director of Planning Rob Peters, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the project in early March due to concerns relating to lighting and colocation feasibility of adding towers to the existing poles instead of putting them on new poles. “It’s not routine for staff to recommend overturning a Planning Commission decision,” he explained. “Because of the circumstances of this appeal and because of the information that was provided by the applicant, staff believes that the concerns related to the Planning Commission’s denial has been addressed by the applicant, most notably about the noise and the height of the speakers as well as the lighting and the analysis related to that,” Peters told the supervisors. Epic Wireless Group representative Sara King outlined the project benefits, including the filling of a significant coverage gap in the community. Five other locations were considered and discarded due to
distance, terrain blockage, lack of a willing landlord or legal accessibility. She maintained lighting and noise pollution were matters not previously addressed because of what they believed to be an adequate buffer around the project, explaining that the two nearest residential neighborhoods are more than 300 and 900 feet away. Subsequent analyses verified the absence of glare on the eastern side of Silva Valley Parkway and noise impact to the surrounding community. “In summary, this is a great project,” King insisted, pointing out the provision of better facilities to the school and the community without using school funds. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo brought up concerns regarding radio frequency emissions. “That really concerns me, especially next to a school,” he said, echoing one public comment. Verizon Wireless outside counsel Paul Albritton responded that due to the height of the antennas, studies submitted show “emissions on the ground will be 1% or less of the FCC exposure limits.” As for other public comments on legal issues
regarding the Planning Commission’s findings, Albritton asserted that a categorical exemption is defendable. “I would assure you that Verizon Wireless, under our agreements, would indemnify the county against any CEQA lawsuit related to your approval,” he said. Brandon Reinhardt was one resident who spoke to support the project wholeheartedly. “I use voice-over internet for my landline phone so any time there’s a power outage I lose accessibility to all communications to the outside world,” he said. “Having reliable cellular connection is pretty important and that impacts pretty much everyone in this whole area.” And El Dorado Union High School District Assistant Superintendent Bob Whittenberg also pled for board approval. “We do see this as a win-win,” he said. “We think it’s going to be advantageous both to the school site as well as to the community.” “The analysis that was provided after the Planning Commission hearing seems to satisfy all the questions that they had,” noted District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin. The project was approved by unanimous decision.

CREATIVITY AT WORK
Tahoe artist sees success and challenges locally Robert Galloway Tahoe Daily Tribune
Inventing an artist
S
OUTH LAKE TAHOE — When I walked in to interview Tahoe artist Kelly Smith Cassidy, it was evident her art can take up many spaces around the house. “When you’re an artist, the dining room table becomes part of your workspace,” she quipped. The dining room table isn’t all she’s taking up. She primarily works out of a small shop located next to her home but as the conversation progressed, I learned most of her outdoor space, especially in her backyard and deck, has also been the working space for her larger pieces — primarily for Burning Man. But, to get more into Smith Cassidy’s creative approach and what she’s been able to accomplish as a local artist, it’s probably more fitting to learn about where it all started for this passionate artist.
For Smith Cassidy, the building blocks started in Scottsdale, Ariz. Her grandparents owned a gallery, gem and mineral shop and came from a family that was mostly builders and creators. Her parents actually met in that store in 1969 and after her mother was the first one of her family out of Ecuador, she wanted to bring her siblings along with her. First up: Smith Cassidy’s uncle. “My dad went to a metal shop trying to get him a job but he didn’t know English,” said Smith Cassidy. “He was very handy and my dad told them he knew how to do everything in metal work (although bending the truth). He was hired as a shop aid, helping with metal pieces.” Her parents ended up helping and working with her uncle at street fairs, resulting in her father experimenting on the side with his sculptures. Eventually her parents ended up making and selling their own pieces while also ■

Dinner
developing a style of welding that was actually a blend of welding and soldering with wrought iron. While Smith Cassidy recalls seeing this growing up, she really wanted to be an architect or, at the very least, simply build or create something. She got her GED at age 16 and after seeing the feast or famine life of an artist from her parents, she really wanted to pay to go to college on her own and not burden her parents. So, Smith Cassidy turned to her parents and asked in earnest if they’d teach her. “What kind of kid says I want to make art to pay for college,” Smith Cassidy joked. “At 16 I made a little branch about 2 feet wide that took me a week to build (something that would only take about two to three hours now). I sold it at a roadside show for $150.” As she navigated the art world at a young age, she noticed big leaves being made into trees and hung as wall sculptures. She also noticed the ceilings in the houses around her kept getting higher and higher. She blended these by making more fantastical trees with splatter leaves and started making them taller, longer and skinnier — something that would prepare her for even larger art projects in the future. During her youth, Smith Cassidy’s parents would bring the family to Lake Tahoe, spending anywhere from three to six months to escape the grueling Arizona heat. They eventually made the move permanent. In 2010 Smith Cassidy met her husband, local dentist Dr. Kevin Cassidy, at a meditation class. “He knew I did this stuff, but didn’t know it was my work-work,” added Smith Cassidy. “But I finally got him to realize I was making money doing this.” Making art isn’t always about making money, though. “I love what I do. It’s fulfilling to create something with my own hands,” said Smith Cassidy. “My metal work is all intuitive and second nature. Someone will send me a picture of his or her wall and I’ll immediately know what will go there. But these are unemotional pieces — they match the couch. “Burning Man is a small part of my work, but big,” she added. “I don’t have time to do pieces like Burning Man outside of Burning Man. I don’t think I could make a piece for it without the grant.” The grant she speaks of is what got her started on her Burning Man journey, although she was hesitant at first. She initially believed she would not be able to afford it, or there would be too many people or it would simply just be too much. “The group of Tahoe burners kept pushing me,” Smith Cassidy said. “They are very good people and I can’t even begin to say how much the Burning Man community has supported my work and me as a person. It’s not what most people think or what I thought it was.” After her first visit at a friend’s camp, she was hooked. And while she did end up making something for a nearby, but separate Tahoe camp, She quickly learned that the shear size of

Burning Man could drown out even large art pieces. Determined to build something again the following year, and after missing the first grant (honoraria) cycle, she was able to submit her idea for the pieces in the pavilion surrounding the Man Base. “I submitted a design of a female robot made out of carved wood with a glass head and articulated fingers and arms that would move and be on a base 8 feet high with a mythology surrounding her — I had a whole story,” she explained. Her design was accepted. And although she had never carved wood in her entire life, let alone solid Tahoe pine, not to mention the stress associated with the deadline, she completed the project. A bittersweet ending to the project came as she watched her creation burn, although it was the last one standing before the Man ... solid Tahoe pine indeed. She did manage to sneak the head off before burning; it still sits in her living room. After yet another successful grant submission for Burning Man 2019, 2020 came with its own set of challenges — as did earlier this year in 2021. While sad, there were no events for either year, she still is quick to point out just how much Burning Man puts the artists first.

What about art in South Tahoe?
While Smith Cassidy is quick to point out the support for art from Burning Man, she’s not as quick to point out the support the arts have been given locally. “I was president of the Art League and on the board for five or six years and it was frustrating,” she said. “We did our best in creating programs for kids but we could never get the city on board. That period was one of the most frustrating times in my life. “Trying to convey the idea that art is important — it’s frustrating to see this community value only one thing and not see how it can be mutually beneficial,” she added. What Smith Cassidy is referring to, she said, is the opposite of what she’s seen in other ski and mountain towns such as Vail and Aspen, Colo., and Park City, Utah. She sees art being valued in those towns as equally as recreation and believes that art and recreation in these towns are not mutually exclusive, but that they help each other. However, it didn’t happen organically. “What we need is a grant to bring in a consultant and kick start the scene,” she said. “That’s what Vail did. That’s what Breckenridge did. They paid them to work with the city for a year to bring them up to a higher level. Everyone here is just scrambling.” While Smith Cassidy said she believes the art scene on the South Shore is stagnant, she also thinks there’s still hope. Whether that’s tying art to the deep rich history of Lake Tahoe (such as the Shakespeare Festival) or even capitalizing on the Burning Man pieces sitting in local’s backyards and getting them around town for all to enjoy (her idea to the city was a Burning Man park), it doesn’t appear she’s ready to give up. Smith Cassidy’s art can be seen online at her website at kellysmithcassidy.com.

Sierra Jazz Society picnic brings together talented musicians News release The Sierra Jazz Society presents the first Bill Douglass and Nora Nausbaum Jazz Picnic at Pioneer Park, 6-8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1. The event will feature Douglass and Nausbaum as well as Clairdee, Beth Duncan, Ruth Davies, Ken French, John Girton, David Clouse, Kit Bailey, Jason Wilkins and Matt Langley. The Sierra Jazz Society was created in 2003 by Douglass and Nausbaum. Dedicated to jazz education, presentation and promotion in Nevada County and the surrounding areas, the SJS has had a profound effect on the local music scene. Admission to the concert is free but guests are encouraged to make a donation to support the artists and the mission of the Sierra Jazz Society. Pioneer Park is located at 421 Nimrod St. in Nevada City. For more information visit sierrajazzsociety. com/bill-nora-jazz-picnic.
The artists Bill Douglass grew up in Nevada County and made a name for himself on the San Francisco music scene. In a career spanning decades, Douglass played with many of the jazz greats including Marian McPartland, Mose Allison, Bobby McFerrin and Tom Waits, among many others. Douglass has recorded more than 100 albums and performed on many film and TV scores, including “The Black Stallion,” Disney’s “Never Cry Wolf,” “1,000 Pieces of Gold” and National Geographic specials. After completing her master’s degree in music at Boston’s New England Conservatory, Nausbaum taught at Northern Michigan University and Arkansas State University at Jonesboro. She is currently performing with the Amaryllis Trio and is active in the jazz community while maintaining her private teaching practice. Clairdee has collaborated with some of America’s most celebrated jazz masters. She’s soulful, swinging, stylish and has a gift for immediate rapport with her audience. Her latest album, “A Love Letter to Lena,” is a deeply personal celebration of the iconic star Lena Horne. Beth Duncan’s first recording, “Orange Colored Sky,” established her as one of Northern California’s
leading jazz vocalists and her 2012 follow-up, “Comes the Fall,” brought her international recognition and won an Independent Music Award. Bassist Ruth Davies’ discography includes several platinum and Grammy-winning CDs with jazz and blues greats. She currently plays with Elvin Bishop. Pianist Ken French has been performing jazz piano professionally for many decades on the San Francisco scene and as far a field as Japan and the Atlantic seaboard. A compelling soloist, thoughtful accompanist, dynamic ensemble leader and sought after arranger, French is a very busy man. John Girton is well known throughout the world for his work as lead guitarist with the group Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. Girton recorded three albums with the group and also wrote and arranged material for them. Girton is an instrumentalist, vocalist, recording artist, studio musician and composer. Kit Bailey loves rhythm. Initially drumming in a Scottish bagpipe band at age 11, he subsequently joined school wind ensembles, theater and ballet pit orchestras and symphonic groups, performing with the San Luis Obispo Symphony, Newark-Fremont Philharmonic Society, Santa Barbara Symphony, Music in the Mountains, InConcert Sierra and Sierra Stages. David Clouse began his career playing with Ron Crotty from the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Terrell Eaton from Bonnie Raitt and spent several years teaching, playing and touring throughout the United States. Since 2012 Clouse has been living in Nevada County and performs extensively. University of California, Irvine, graduate and Claire Trevor Scholarship recipient Jason Wilkins earned his contrabass performance bachelor’s degree after the first-ever perfect score on the jazz final exam. Wilkins’ versatile résumé includes shows with the rock band Signs of Life, the Bently Brothers largest outdoor three ring circus and Three Blind Mice, the house band of the House of Blues in Anaheim. He has performed with the orchestras of the UC Irvine, Orange Coast College and the Saddleback symphonic orchestra. Wilkins has led his own jazz group, The Jason Wilkins group. Saxophonist and clarinetist Dave Tidball was born in Wales and became active in the London jazz scene in the 1970s, including recording two albums
and touring with British jazz fusion pioneers Turning Point. He has performed in a wide variety of settings, notably the trio Threedom, with bassist Bill Douglass and drummer Robert Kaufman, the sextet Triceratops and singer Paula West’s quintet, recording CDs with each. He’s also the featured soloist on the albums of Vivian Sayles, Tony Adamo, Benny Watson and Peter Zak. Tidball teaches instrumental music for the Oakland Unified School District. Saxophonist Matt Langley recently relocated to Nevada City. Though he studied briefly with Lou Marini, David Baker, Ted Dunbar and Stan Strickland, most of Langley’s education has come on the bandstand. He has recorded extensively with the Charlie Kolhlhase Quintet, his own group Color, with pianist Pandelis Karayorgis’ group System of 5 and with Mike Effenberger’s weirdturnpro. Langley has also shared the stage or recording studio with Ron Carter, Richie Cole, Fred Hersch, John Medeski, Billy Martin, Chris Wood, Matt Wilson, Tiger Okoshi, Roswell Rudd and Dave Douglas.

a couple of years of farming he switched gears to consulting with local wineries. “That’s really what I’ve been doing for the last 15 or more years,” he said. Through what is called a custom crush, in which one winery will crush grapes and make wine for other wineries, and his consulting work with several wineries, Marco has had his hand in more than 15 different brands and has been responsible for about 150 wines bottled. This extensive experience will come to bear in this new venture on Main. The bonded winery will ferment wine right on the premise0 at 484 Main St. as well as offer varietals from several local wineries. Marco will also focus largely on Angelica, a fortified wine that began production during the Mission period in California. It was once simply a way to preserve grape juice and has since become a sought-after dessert wine. Angelica is made when brandy is added to grape juice just as it begins the fermentation process. This arrests the fermentation and allows the natural sugars to remain, making a sweet and fortified wine. Marco said he plans to make the Angelica on the premises while offering other local wines in small batches. “The concept here is to provide
really good wines, wines that are from a single vineyard, handcrafted, small-lot wines,” he explained. “Distinctive wines that have that sense of place that people are looking for — in other words, their grapes reflect the soil and the climate and the exposure and the wine is distinctive and reflects that same, what they call terroir.” Sharing that his plan is to demystify wine. Marco said he wants to make great, drinkable wines people can afford to drink every day. “I wanted to be able to provide to the public wines that have all of the hallmarks of quality that people look for in expensive wines, but provide it at a lower price,” he added. This dream project for Marco and Belinda, about 15 years in the making, will not be a conventional winery nor will it be a conventional tasting room. Guests will be able to taste wine directly from a cask and, if they like it, they will bottle it up on the spot and the customer can take it home. With casks or barrels of wine on hand from small batch productions of local wineries, Marco said he hopes to bring a new kind of wine adventure to the region. The Cappellis hope to open their doors for business in time for the upcoming holiday season.

Public Notices with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-211567. 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.
