2 cafés stay open despite county suspending licenses n Apple Bistro, Café El Dorado may request legal hearings Pat Lakey Staff writer Photo courtesy of Cal Fire

The cause of a fire that burned 35 acres off Sophia Parkway in El Dorado Hills is under investigation.

35 acres scorched in Folsom and EDH El Dorado Hills and Folsom fire departments News release The Folsom Fire Department responded to a vegetation fire on Sophia Parkway, near Empire Ranch Road and East Natoma Street, at 12:55 a.m. on Aug. 2. Personnel from Fire Station 39 were first to arrive and found a fast-moving grass fire heading uphill toward homes in El Dorado Hills and the Hildebrand neighborhood in Folsom. The origin of the fire was midslope and moving in several directions. They immediately began extinguishing the fire and requested additional resources to contain it. More than 20 fire engines responded from Folsom, El Dorado Hills and Cal Fire to extinguish the blaze, which burned more than 35 acres. Several chief officers were also requested to manage the separate divisions established specifically due to the access between Sophia Parkway and the homes at the top of the ridge near Beatty Drive in El Dorado Hills. Three water tenders were used to assist. Due to the incident occurring at night, air resources were not used. The fire was contained within a couple hours and no homes were damaged. n

There’s no mistaking the glint of defiance in Apple Bistro owner Jeannette Waldow’s eyes as she says, “We’re open and we’ll continue to be open — no action by the county will close us without due process of the law.” And they were open Monday, the former Apple Café on Highway 50 just east of Placerville, welcoming customers who sometimes wore face masks but most often did not, customers who were sometimes seated inside the eatery, along with those seated in a sheltered outdoor area. The friendly chef there who came out of the kitchen to chat wasn’t wearing a mask either, nor was the man who said he preferred not to give his name but confirmed that he is part of the restaurant’s management team. Apple Bistro and Café El Dorado on Pleasant Valley Road both were slapped late last week with orders that rescind their El Dorado County health permits, essentially ordered to comply with COVID-19 related restrictions or close their doors. Both remained open as of Tuesday, with the chef and manager at Café El Dorado saying the business intends to take advantage of a 15-day period in which to ask for a hearing on the matter. “We have 15 days to request a hearing and we’re going to do that,” said Jack, who declined to give his last name. Told that the Apple Bistro owner has said she intends to stay open regardless of county demands to the contrary, Jack replied, “I know — and we have the same attorney.” That attorney is Rick Martin of the Constitutional Law Group, who has provided a message “to all government

Apple Bistro in Placerville was open Monday with signs welcoming diners to wait inside to be seated and cautioning visitors that some coronavirus safety recommendations are not followed at the establishment.

Pollock Pines woman takes her breath back from bug Dawn Hodson Staff writer Andrea Latimer thought she’d be the last person to catch the coronavirus. A healthy and active 40-year-old Pollock Pines resident, she’s employed in Sacramento doing property restoration, had no pre-existing medical conditions and walks 3 miles a day. Then on July 21 she started experiencing several symptoms. First it was fatigue, a headache and diarrhea. Then she lost her sense of taste and smell. Dismissing her symptoms, a week later she was still fatigued and lethargic when all of a sudden a slew of upper respiratory symptoms kicked in and hit her “like a ton of bricks.”

She said she started coughing, couldn’t breathe and couldn’t get out of bed. “That’s what prompted me to call 911,” she said. “When I couldn’t even walk to the kitchen, that’s when I knew I needed help.” Having no idea she had the virus, she said it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to her — not being able to breathe. Admitted to Marshall Hospital July 28, she was in the Intensive Care Unit for a week and released Aug. 4. Latimer said her doctors treated her with five days of an intravenous, broad-spectrum anti-viral drug called Remdesivir plus plasma from patients who had already recovered from the coronavirus. She also received large doses of vitamin D and C, antibiotics and a blood thinner, as COVID-19

patients tend to develop blood clots in their lungs. As to how she contracted the disease, Latimer said she is pretty sure she got it from being around people she works with in Sacramento who had been tested for the disease but hadn’t received their results yet because it can take six to 10 days. It turns out many of those people learned later they had tested positive. Latimer said her contact with them consisted of sharing a meal, shaking hands and hugging some of them. “I believe they were tested because they had some symptoms but chose to go to work anyway,” she said. “It’s the only place where I think I could have Courtesy photo gotten it from. Recovering at Marshall Hospital from a bout of COVID-19, Andrea Latimer figured she’d n See Latimer, page A3 be the last person to contract the disease.

CRIME LOG

April 18, 1929-July 29, 2020

Karlene Rae Bottimore passed away peacefully at her daughterâ€™s home in Placerville after an agerelated decline. Her daughters Karyn and Gayle, cared for her during her final weeks with Hospice. Karlene is survived by her two daughters, Karyn (John) Hoffman of Placerville and Gayle (Guido) Ciardi of Half Moon Bay. She was predeceased by her husband Chuck in 2007 after 58 years of marriage and by her two brothers, Robert and Roger. Karlene (nee Kissinger) was born April 18, 1929 on the kitchen table of the family farm in Washta, Iowa. Karlene and Chuck were married in 1949. He was a watershed keeper at Crystal Springs Reservoir in San Mateo County where they lived in various homes on the watershed. Mom worked as a secretary in San Francisco and also in a nursery in South San Francisco, making boutonniĂ¨res for the war. After her daughters were grown, she worked as an assistant librarian in Woodside, Calif. After retirement, Karlene and Chuck moved to Volcano, Calif., and then Sun City Lincoln Hills in Lincoln, Calif. After Chuck passed away in 2007, Karlene moved to Eskaton Village in Placerville where she moved into her own cottage, then moved to the lodge and finally memory care. Mom loved people and wished to be remembered as always smiling, honest and always willing to help anyone in need. Our family would like to give special thanks to Eskaton for the compassion and care she received living there. We would also like to give our heartfelt gratitude to Snowline Hospice for the compassionate care she was given in her final weeks. Karlene will be inurned with Chuck at Skylawn Memorial Park in San Mateo, Calif., with a private service by the family. Contributions in Karleneâ€™s name may be gratefully accepted to Snowline Hospice, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, CA 95619 or St. Judeâ€™s (which was very dear to her heart) on their website or by calling (800) 805-5856.

Parks in Cameron Park may be getting BMX course, bocce ball courts Jana Rossi Staff writer Cameron Park residents and visitors may soon enjoy new features at four parks in the community. A survey sent out to residents to help determine where they would like to see the Cameron Park Community Services District’s Park Development Impact Fees spent yielded more than 360 responses. Cameron Park Lake, Rasmussen Park, Dunbar Park and Gateway Park may soon reap the benefits of the fees, with added amenities such as bocce ball courts, a zip line and even a BMX course. Because the fees are only to be used to improve or to add new amenities to the parks, a variety of ideas were tossed around. The idea is to spread out the amenities between the parks, alleviating pressure on the very popular Cameron Park Lake, according to CPCSD Parks and Facilities Superintendent Mike Grassle. One of the biggest changes will occur at the lake, which also turned out to be the favorite park in the survey and where saving the Summer Spectacular was favored over keeping the swimming lagoon. In the lagoon’s place, a splash pad area will be erected along with cabanas and possibly an amphitheater. Future additions may also include a boat launch and bocce ball courts. Dunbar Park off Starbuck Road may see an added fitness course station, zip line and a tree house. While Gateway Park, located off Cambridge Road, could be the next destination to head to for some serious biking, as a BMX course is being looked into. As staff had done with the disc golf course added in last year at Cameron Park Lake, Grassle said they would like to work with a community member knowledgeable in BMX courses to help get that project off the ground. Bocce ball courts and a half basketball court are in the future plans for Rasmussen Park. “During a pandemic is a good time to be planning outdoor facilities to engage elementary aged children, active adults (and) individuals in wheelchairs,” said CPCCSD Director Felicity Carlson. “I encourage people to visit parks and to take a look at what we have planned on the website and to stay involved.” The estimated project costs if proposed improvements are made at all four parks is $3,698,340, exceeding the revenue in the district’s impact fees account ($860,000) and the CSD’s Proposition 68 per capita grant allocation of $178,000; however, with the help of a newly hired grant writer, the district is looking into several grant options. The proposal/projects are expected to be discussed further at the August CPCSD Board of Directors meeting. Visit cameronpark.org for more information.

“They just thought they had an allergy and that’s why they thought they were having symptoms. If I had known they had tested positive for COVID I never would have been around them but it takes so long to get the results back.” Once in the hospital Latimer was contacted by the El Dorado County Health Department and asked about who she had come into contact with. Still convinced she contracted it in Sacramento, she thinks those who tested positive may have had some symptoms but as far as she knows none became so sick they ended up in the hospital. “I have no idea why it hit me as hard as it did,” she said. “I probably would have died if I hadn’t come to the hospital.” In the meantime she’s had her house “COVID cleaned” by a company called Cleanrite Buildrite. A company affiliated with her own in Sacramento, she now has a disease-free home to return to. Latimer encourages others to stay home and listen to their bodies if they develop any symptoms. “I was also one of those very frustrated wearing a mask,” she admitted, “and now I’m in the hospital. So

wear your mask, wash your hands and practice social distancing. If you’re sick or feeling any symptoms, stay at home and don’t be around people. The person who gave it to me was probably totally fine and now I’m in the hospital.” Latimer said her doctor told her they still aren’t certain what the after-effects will be but they are sending her home with oxygen and a spirometer to increase lung capacity. Her lungs

may be scarred from the disease and it could be a couple weeks before she can engage in her normal activities, but the doctors assured her the scarring can heal in time if she exercises her lungs. The first time Latimer has been admitted to a hospital, she praised her nurses and the extent of their care. They even brought her a Happy Meal from McDonald’s the Sunday before she was released.

FLOSS AND LIVE LONGER On the face of it, flossing our teeth helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease by removing the bacteria-laden film (plaque) that continually builds up on teeth. As a result, people who floss may avoid one of the primary causes of tooth loss. As it turns out, regular flossing may prevent another type of loss. Recent research shows that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and even death. A study of 5,600 healthy individuals in a retirement community found that nightly flossing was associated with a 30% lower risk of dying

over the course of a decade. Flossing at other times of the day, or not at all, produced no such benefit. If you are interested in keeping your mouth and teeth healthy, remember that carefully performed home oral hygiene is key to success. We’ll be happy to demonstrate good flossing and brushing techniques that will help you maintain a healthy smile between routine dental checkups. For an appointment for family dental care, please give us a call. P.S. It takes less than two minutes to floss your teeth, and the health benefits of doing so are nearly incalculable.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

California Matters

Legislators want to pile on debt

hen legislators passed and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a 2020-21 state budget in June, they described it as “balanced.” Not by a long shot. As detailed in this space earlier, it included at least $20 billion in DAN WALTERS direct and indirect, on-the-books and offthe-books borrowing that must, of course, eventually be repaid. More than half of the new debt is in “deferrals” of state aid to local school systems that, by constitutional law, must be restored in future years. Having emulated the federal government by financing current spending with longer-term borrowing, legislative leaders now want to dive into the deep end of the debt pool with a $100 billion “economic stimulus plan.” It’s a laundry list of public works and direct payments to Californians and businesses affected by the pandemic-induced recession, financed by “new revenues without raising taxes.” “Millions of California’s Californians are legislative leaders suffering in this economic downturn are proposing and Republicans in a $100 billion Washington, D.C., “economic don’t seem to care,” Assembly Speaker stimulus plan” Anthony Rendon said financed by in a statement as an massive new outline of the plan was released late last borrowing. What month. “Assembly and could possibly go Senate Democrats are wrong? advancing innovative proposals to help people and small businesses.” Some of the new benefits and projects would be financed by borrowing against existing revenue streams, such as speeding up highway projects by pledging future gas tax and motor vehicle fee proceeds. That at least makes some fiscal sense. But while details are scant, it appears that the big money would come from authorizing the state treasurer “to issue future tax vouchers to generate billions of revenues for general economic stimulus efforts outlined in the plan.” In other words, corporations, and perhaps highincome individual taxpayers, would be induced to make payments of future income taxes in return for certificates that could be used to pay those taxes when they are due — with, it’s assumed, direct or indirect interest payments to those who participate. It’s similar in concept to the budget’s creating a big chunk of indirect debt by suspending some corporate tax breaks to generate $4.5 billion for

Letters to the Editor COVID, shmovid EDITOR:

y doctor’s office is (temporarily) closed. Instead of an appointment to be examined by my doctor, I was scheduled for a telephone appointment. (For the stethoscope thing I think that I put the telephone against my chest.) But that’s not my problem – or is it? This brings up the question: Does it make sense to close down a major medical facility and substitute the primitive pandemic-“prevention” method — face masks? On the basis of mass-market polling of lone freeway drivers, the National Psychological Association has lowered the estimated general I.Q. to 73 (plus or minus the standard error – masked while alone talking on the telephone.) And, by the way, last week three people died in motorcycle crashes attributable to COVID-19. DOUG ROSCOE Shingle Springs

The noose EDITOR: alifornia has the distinction of being part of Wild West history so many have come to love — in movies, books and by virtue of experiencing it. My great-grandfather was brought as a boy to the foothills where they mined for gold in the very early 1900s. Another was involved with the railroad in Sacramento in the late 1860s, where the doors opened to link east to west. I ask respectfully that the “noose,” “Belltower,” “Hangtown,” “Gold Bug,” “City Hall” and all historical sites be given protection status. I love history, which I attribute to my father, who shared his stories of placer mining and ranching as a young boy. I have shared these stories with my children. Placerville has the unique fortune to sit at the crossroads of the great east-west historical Highway 50 crossing and Highway 49. Nine counties share the 49 route. Each town in the nine historical Highway 49 counties has its own distinguishable traits. Pictures and paragraphs are found in history books, on maps, in travel books, schools history books and in libraries and travel agencies as far as Russia and China. People from all over the world come to our

county to experience the Gold Rush history rapidly disappearing. We have historical churches, hundreds of gold mines, ghosts, old stores, barns and buildings, lakes and just as many historical stories —Donner Party, Snowshoe Thompson, the Pony Express, the Wagon Train, Coloma, Sutter’s Mill. Living history is a huge part of who we are. If we are to be good stewards of the legacies left to us, then we need to celebrate history more. I would like to see the historical society have a larger part in our county’s voice. Having lunch at a local restaurant, I remarked to my friends as people and families looked in shops and at buildings and, yes, took pictures of the hangman in the noose: What an adventure they were having and history drew them to our town. Each date on a building marks a time of prosperity, of an evolving community, of an exciting moment in history. The Placerville City Council, which really represents the whole county, should focus more on updating but with a historical preservation mindset. We are not Folsom, nor El Dorado Hills. We are the historical town of Placerville — rich and vibrant with tangent California history. If you google “Hangman’s Tree” you will find 33,900,000 results for Historic Landmark No. 141. Please keep Placerville in its entirety, including the noose. Please keep us in the history books, on maps, on tours as an exciting place to see. Preserve the labors and hard work of our ancestors. Add more historical designations. Make known who the great families were that came to Placerville, El Dorado County and beyond ... and the history of those who planted roots and traveled no farther and, sadly, those who never took a step farther than the Justice Tree. “Let us consider, brethren, we are struggling for our best birthrights and inheritance, which being infringed, renders all our blessings precarious in their enjoyments, and, consequently trifling in their value. Let us disappoint the Men who are raising themselves on the ruin of this Country. Let us convince every invader of our freedom, that we will be as free as the constitution our fathers recognized, will justify.” — Samuel Adams (first cousin, eight times removed) CAROLYN HOLMES Somerset (Daughter of the American Revolution)

The study is billed as but a sampling demonstrating “the many different ways in which fraud is committed.” It documents “a long and unfortunate history“ of the same (“A sampling of election fraud cases from across the country”). Four years later in 2020, The Heritage Foundation’s election fraud database number had increased to 1,285 instances. Since the left is arguing that the coronavirus exempts many from in-person voting the updated foundation report included how Wisconsin successfully held a primary during the coronavirus scare and “how other countries such as Liberia have conducted an election successfully during a health crisis” (Database Swells to 1,285 Proven Cases of Voter Fraud in America, Kaitlynn Samalis-Aldrich and Hans A. Von Spakovsky, May 10, 2020, The Heritage Foundation). To the issue that many elections are too close to call, sometimes for weeks, any fraud is too much fraud and intolerable. Fraud in battleground states is especially serious.

Unfortunately major voter fraud abuses have been identified in Texas, California, Pennsylvania and Michigan. In Texas the former head of the Texas Democratic Party in Fort Worth funded a voter fraud ring. Leticia Sanchez and three accomplices “have been indicted for allegedly submitting fraudulent absentee ballot applications and then either intercepting the ballots in mailboxes or improperly “assisting” elderly voters in filling out their ballots.” In another case, the attorney general is “investigating mailers sent to noncitizens by the state Democratic Party asking them to register using applications that already had the box asking about citizenship checked ‘Yes.’” Apparently in California the Democrat led state registered almost 25,000 ineligible voters under the state’s new automatic voter registration system. This was brought to the attention of the Los Angeles Times when a Canadian complained that he had not been registered properly.

Curbside for a Cause gives a shod out to MJ’s Project Pat Lakey Staff writer There’s little more sadly moving than seeing a kid walking to school as his or her shoes are falling apart. An effort to make sure all children return to campus — if and when they are allowed to do so — with a pair of solid footwear is this week’s beneficiary of Curbside for a Cause. MJ’s Project, named for local founder MJ Gardea, will share half of Friday’s dinner till from Old Town Grill in Placerville. Chef John Sanders took a welldeserved break recently but is back wielding his spatula with artistic eagerness, ready to serve up the best that Old Town Grill has to offer. As always since the world changed with the assault of the coronavirus COVID-19, Sanders is happy to share his restaurant’s bounty, provided by its loyal (and savvy) customers, with a worthy cause as all struggle through these challenging times. MJ’s Project, a registered nonprofit organization, was formed in order to provide necessary personal products to students who couldn’t afford the purchase themselves. Already deemed a worthy undertaking, the shoe angle came later — and just seemed a good fit, according to MJ’s Project supporters. The new-footwear portion of the project got on its feet when Ponderosa High School student MJ

the budget while allowing affected businesses to claim the tax credits in the future. Unless extended by Newsom, the legislative session is due to end in a month, which leaves little time to fine-tune such a huge scheme. And we don’t know whether Newsom is on board, even conceptually, although he’s fond of “big, hairy, audacious goals.” “I would be remiss to comment until I have a chance to review the details,” Newsom said at a news conference. “We have to include a framework of bringing people along as we reopen our economy.” In part, the legislative stimulus plan seems aimed at fending off demands from the left wing of the Democratic Party for hitting corporations and wealthy Californians with new taxes to enhance recession relief programs.

Gardea gave her shoes to another student who was being bullied due to the condition of their footwear. Last year MJ’s Project raised more than $3,000 to purchase shoes for some 100 homeless and at-risk youth in El Dorado County and the Folsom area. Students needing a new pair of shoes were delighted at the beginning of the 2019-20 school year to be taken to a Folsom outlet store and fitted with brand-spanking-new Vans. MJ’s Project officials hope to be able to do the same this year — despite the coronavirus trying to step in the way — with kids, even if they have to be homeschooled for a while, getting new shoes.

Attorney lack of new taxes, saying, “While we support many of the items listed in the Legislature’s plan, we cannot support the chicanery with which the Legislature proposes to secure them: taking from future generations without demanding that today’s billionaires and powerful corporations step up and contribute.” Piling on debt for current spending is obviously risky, particularly since no one knows how long the pandemic and its recession will last. But raising taxes is also risky because it could spur further flights of corporations and the wealthy from California, taking jobs and tax payments with them. This could be a defining political moment. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters. org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

For 20 years the Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles allowed thousands of non-citizens to register to vote. This information was forced into the light by the Public Interest Legal Foundation after months of successful litigation. Similar findings were made in Michigan, New Jersey and Illinois by the PILF. Michigan had no mechanism “to keep false citizenship claims from being accepted during voter registration.” This allowed Detroit to register to vote at least 1,444 non-citizens. This was so in numerous sanctuary cities in other states as well. Imagine how the those on the left, especially their establishment media, would howl were they to discover that the right was doing this to them. Voter registration is constitutionally a state function and Democrat led states have taken advantage of this for years. “A 2012 report by the Pew Center on the States found that more than 1.8 million dead people were registered to vote and 2.75 million people were registered in more than one state.” The Pew report also “found

So voting by mail apparently “makes it easier to commit fraud, intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot,” more especially in battleground states. “It puts elections into the hands of the Postal Service. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, ballots can be lost, disqualified, and even stolen” (Database Swells to 1,285 Proven Cases of Voter Fraud in America) Why would we want to put our 230 year old tried and trusted present system at risk to corruption?

Write your favorite candidate for each category.

Include complete business name and location, or person’s name where applicable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If someone doesn’t seem to like it when you go about meeting your needs in your own way, that person might be trying to control you, which you’re likely to resist with great might.

Candidates must be businesses or people within El Dorado County.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No two people are completely alike, so to understand another person requires bridge building. Respect is the essential raw material this bridge will be built with.

4 PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe it seems counterintuitive, but exposing what you feel insecure about is the confident move. To those with a core belief of worthiness, vulnerability is less of a risk. They know they will not be crushed by the outcome. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An interest in widening your circle suggests your values are changing, too. And when your values match with those of another, attraction naturally follows. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is impossible to give without giving to yourself. You will help someone heal and grow and, in the process, be helped, healed and elevated by the experience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been thinking about what others get out of being in a relationship with you and what you get out of being in a relationship with others. This generates changes you’ll implement throughout the month. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You make efforts not to commit the crime of being too nice, trying too hard, taking responsibility for another person’s happiness — all benevolent ways to impose on another person’s autonomy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You prefer to know what others want from you, and it is a hard thing to figure out without understanding where they are coming from. You’ll make a quest out of it, and this leads to fascinating conversations today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Empathy helps you navigate relationships that would be impossible to understand if not for your ability to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are so many things you want more than comfort. You are willing to spend the entire day in an uncomfortable state if it means you can finally get the result you deeply desire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When boundaries get crossed, you notice right away — a sign of your health. You no longer hold yourself responsible for the actions or emotions of others, nor do you expect others to be responsible for the way you feel. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though it’s nice to be appreciated “as is,” the one who pushes you to try harder will earn your respect and affection. The bottom line: You enjoy the version of yourself you come to after working a little harder.

DAY HIKER our faithful K9 Stella the wonder dog to Monkey Rock in late spring. We decided to take the longer, but we think, more scenic Highway 50 approach on the way up. At Sand Harbor look for the Bullwheel parking lot in front of the Tunnel Creek Cafe. There is no parking at the trailhead. Your hike begins from the Mary West parking lot and up behind Outdoor columnist the Tunnel Creek Cafe on Tunnel Creek Road. There is a $2 fee to hike the trails. An iron ranger

he famed Monkey Rock that overlooks Lake Tahoe from East Lake is off Tunnel Road in the Spooner Backcountry, part of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Parks. The hike to Monkey Rock (More like a gorilla which is not a monkey but a great ape. We will let that go.) leads to a nice view of Lake Tahoe and surrounding snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. I went hiking with my oldest son Canyon, his brilliant girlfriend Emily and

The hike to Monkey Rock is moderate. The climb up isn’t bad, but coming down can be slippery.

EDCOE’s Wendy Frederickson named associate superintendent Dina Gentry El Dorado County Office of Education

he El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) announced that Wendy Frederickson has accepted the position of associate superintendent of administrative services. “I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the EDCOE team,” Frederickson said. “I look forward to continuing to work alongside and support our colleagues within EDCOE and throughout the county.” Frederickson served as the executive director of personnel services for a year and a half and as interim associate superintendent of administrative services since April. “Wendy is the consummate professional with an extensive track record of providing high quality support to our programs, districts and agency partners,” County Superintendent Dr. Ed Manansala explained. “As the role of county offices continue to grow and evolve, Wendy will play a central role in shaping the future of EDCOE.” Frederickson has a breadth of knowledge gained through former positions such as the Superintendent of the Auburn Unified School District and the Gold Oak Union School District. LuAnn Lantsberger is the coordinator for personnel services and said, ”Wendy is an amazing leader. She has a calming presence and her knowledge of EDCOE and the districts we serve. Her efforts to ensure that staff receive accurate and timely information has been crucial to the health and wellness of EDCOE’s environment.” For more information about EDCOE and job opportunities visit edcoe.org.

s Apple Hill enters into the busiest time of year, the Apple Hill Growers look forward to welcoming visitors this harvest season. While this year will be different than years past, guests will still be able to enjoy the same mouth-watering baked goods and first class wine. Grower farms continue to work with county officials to maximize the health and safety of all guests and employees. Farms and wineries are implementing protocols in accordance with California Industry Guidance for COVID19 operations. There are a few tips that visitors should know while planning their visit. Masks are required and please consider keeping groups to household members only. Businesses have been configured to allow for appropriate social distancing in all areas, including additional

sanitation measures. Businesses are also implementing safe payment options and some farm and wineries are taking reserviations. Please call ahead. “Visiting our farms is a tradition for many families and we’re dedicated to making sure everyone feels safe while enjoying all that our farms and wineries have to offer,” said Chris Delfino of Delfino Farms and president of the Apple Hill Growers Association. “We want guests to know that we are doing everything we can to make sure they have a fun and memorable experience here.” On the busiest weekends in October there may be additional distancing measures in place. It’s always a good reminder that most Apple Hill farms open around Labor Day and are open well into November so you can visit throughout the season and avoid peak visiting times on October weekends. Weekdays are also an ideal time to enjoy the pies, apple

cider and wine. As you make your plans to visit, the association recommends that visitors check member websites, social media, or call ahead for any last-minute details to ensure a fun and successful experience. For more information visit www. applehill.com and follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @ applehillofficial. “Our member farms look forward to welcoming you during Harvest Season 2020,” Delfino said. Founded in 1964, the Apple Hill Growers is dedicated to supporting agriculture in El Dorado County. The organization began with 16 apple ranches and has grown to include unique fruit and veggie farms, wineries, B&Bs, flower gardens, Christmas tree farms and a day spa. The more than 50 farms of Apple Hill produce a variety of crops including apples, berries, stone fruit, vegetables, wine grapes and flowers.

United Way relief fund helps 60 EDC families Kristin Thébaud United Way

n a span of three months, United Way California Capital Region’s COVID-19 Local Relief Fund dispersed $30,000 to 60 families in need in El Dorado County through a one-time $500 distribution to each family to help offset costs of rent, bills and other basic needs. United Way worked with 3Strands Global Foundation in El Dorado Hills to identify low-income families in the county whose lives were disrupted by the pandemic and ensure they received the help they needed. United Way raised a total of $572,000 through the fund and worked with 11 nonprofit partners across the region to help 1,145 families in Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties. The fund closed at the end of June, but the structure remains in place in case of a second wave. “Stories continue to pour in from families across our region who have received help through our Local

Relief Fund,” said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “The vast majority of those we served lost income during the stay-at-home order and needed help paying rent and bills. With so many families in our region just one paycheck away from homelessness, gifts to our fund helped avert an immediate crisis for these families and our community.” For nearly 100 years United Way California Capital Region has brought local people together to make community change happen. Today, the nonprofit is bringing people together across Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties for its Square One Project, a 20-year promise to significantly increase the number of students in our region who graduate from high school ready for success in college and beyond. United Way believes ending poverty starts in school and is working to ensure kids meet important milestones and their families receive support and resources.

Food, diaper and book drive to be held Aug. 6 Celia Orona Special to the Democrat

he second Food, Diaper and Book Drive will be held on Aug. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Cameron Park library according to Marni Price, the Early Childhood Literacy Specialist at the library. The event is open to all El Dorado County families in need of such basic supplies as diapers, wipes, educational activities and food. Items are free and registration is not required. Sponsored by the Placer Food Bank, El Dorado Community Foundation, First-5 El Dorado Commission and the El Dorado County libraries, the event is the second of a series in order to assist county families. The first distribution in Cameron Park was held on June 22, with a total of 232 individuals who received the services. Many were first time participants in the program and according to Price, expectations are that the number of those served will increase. “We plan to have this drive the first Thursday of each month.” Mary Schoenberger, associate director of programs for the Placer Food Bank, stated that “With the prolonged COVID-19 crisis, hunger is increasing. Placer Food Bank is here to focus on hunger relief throughout El Dorado, Nevada and Placer counties. The partnership we are developing will assist us in our goal to serve those in need.”

The event, a “drive-through,” is coordinated by the library’s Hub program, a partnership of county services (Health and Human Services and the County Office of Education); First-5 (a nonprofit organization); and El Dorado County libraries. According to Price, each library Hub “offers activities and programs for families with children ages 0-18 supported by a team of specialists.” Library staff collaborate with the various professionals thus optimizing the resources available to the community. The distribution of food and other items speaks to the need experienced by many county residents. Kathleen Guerrero (First 5 El Dorado Commission) described the situation by saying, “Families are struggling to make ends meet. Food, diapers, cleaning supplies and learning materials can all help ease the monthly budget and hopefully, the family stress. We want our community to know we are here for them.” Families interested in the drive-through event are welcome to pull up to the library curb-side on Thursday, Aug. 6, from 10:30 a.m. to noon for a no-contact delivery of food, diapers and learning materials. Cameron Park library is located at 2500 County Club Drive in Cameron Park. No registration is required and all items are free of cost. For more information call or text the community Hub team at (866) 332-4827.

Hiker

Continued from B1

with envelopes is up the trail a piece. Once on Tunnel Creek Road it is all uphill. At the intersection you make the left with a steep uphill climb. You hike nearly 500 feet up on decomposed granite and sand. For this reason, I call this short hike moderate. The climb up is not so bad but coming down can be slippery. Wear sturdy shoes and if you are at all worried take your trekking poles. There is a longer route that spreads the hike over a greater distance and is less steep. You can find this alternative just a bit further up the main trail. The steady climb is made easier by the ever-changing views of beautiful blue Lake Tahoe, the towering pines and bright granite boulders. This is a popular trail. Once on top expect to wait your turn in the jumble of rocks that overlooks the lake and of course the co-star of the show, the gorilla shaped rock that sits taking in the view with you.

This in and out hike is maybe three miles total. You will not find signs declaring Monkey Rock. You must know what you are looking for. Other trails continue beyond Monkey Rock to Marlette Flume Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail and Twin Lakes. The alternate route is up Interstate 80 to CA-267S in Truckee. Take NV-28E to Tahoe Blvd to Tunnel Creek Boulevard in Incline Village. Mary West is author of the book series “Day Hiker — Gold Country Trail Guides” (available on Amazon). The books are a collection of the Day Hiker columns where West shares her longtime love of the outdoors and favorite hikes in Northern California’s Gold Country and beyond. West was the recipient of the 2018 and 2019 CRAFT Award for Best Outdoor Column by the Outdoor Writers of California. You can follow her on Facebook and Instagram. Photos by Mary West

Mary West’s oldest son Canyon, his girlfriend Emily and their dog Stella hike up to the top of Monkey Rock, right, before enjoying the view of Lake Tahoe. As they climbed to the top, the views got nicer with toweing pines and bright granite boulders before seeing the beautiful lake below.

Midtown Parks hosts free outdoor fitness classes Traci Rockefeller Cusack Midtown Association

idtown Parks announces the launch of Fresh Air: Fremont Park, a series of free health and wellness classes in Midtown offered through October. Launched last summer, Midtown Parks is the nonprofit arm of the organization that dovetails with the mission of the Midtown Association to create a center for culture, creativity and vibrancy in Sacramento’s urban core. With social distancing in mind and safety measures in place, the new fitness series is aimed at encouraging an active lifestyle and social interaction, both of which are critical to the health of a thriving community. Classes include pilates, meditation, dance, yoga, bootcamps and more. To start, the weekly schedule is as follows (note the schedule is subject to change and additional

Know

classes may be added at a later date): • Mondays, 6-7 p.m. — Pilates with Humani Pilates • Wednesdays, 6-6:30 p.m. — Meditation with Devon • Saturdays, 11 a.m. to noon — Physique Dance Fitness Open to all ages and fitness levels, those interested are encouraged to visit midtownparks. org to review the weekly class schedule and to register. Each class is limited to 30 participants and pre-registration is required. All participants are asked to adhere to the physical distancing protocols in place that are outlined on the class registration page, per guidelines related to COVID-19 from the Sacramento County Public Health Department. “Now more than ever, it is important to invest in the well-being of our Midtown community,” said Emily Baime Michaels, executive director of the

Midtown Association. “Our urban parks provide area residents and guests with open-air space for leisure activities, organized activations, and simply spending time in an open-air setting. Our hope is that through ‘Fresh Air: Fremont Park’ we can provide a much-needed morale boost and a sense of normalcy during these extraordinary times.” The goal of Midtown Parks is to increase health and community engagement by energizing Midtown’s five centrally-located parks that include Fremont Park (1515 Q St.), Marshall Park (915 27th St.), Truitt Bark Park (1818 Q St.), Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park (2701 L St.) and Winn Park (1616 28th St.). For more information about Midtown Sacramento in general visit exploremidtown.org or follow on social media — Facebook at facebook. com/exploremidtown/ and @ExploreMidtown on Instagram and Twitter.

EDHCSD has levied a Special Assessment/ parcel tax against a segment of senior citizen residential property owners for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 and Fiscal Year 2020-2021. EDHCSD failed to provide clear and compelling evidence that “special benefit over and above” general benefit was conveyed on LLAD #39 property owners. El Dorado County collected special assessment taxes for maintenance, repair, and services for a Park that is not operational. EDHCSD established the assessment district as comprising a onemile radius, yet the Special Assessment taxation roll disproportionally excluded hundreds of residential and commercial properties located within the defined radius. THE PEOPLE OF EDHCSD LLAD #39 DO ORDAIN THE FOLLOWING: Repeal EDHCSD LLAD #39 Special Assessment and Refund levied taxes. IMPLEMENTATION: (a) This measure applies to only property owners subject to Special Assessment LLAD #39 tax; (b) Provisions of this measure shall take effect upon the certification of the election results; and (c) If any provision of this measure is for any reason held to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. We the undersigned declare under penalty of perjury to be a citizen of El Dorado County, State of California and hereby submit the Notice of Intention to Circulate Petitions to Repeal of EDHCSD LLAD #39 Special Assessment and Refund Levied Assessment Taxes: Bonnie Bergner, LeeAnn Faucett, Roy Renfro, George Robert Williams, Sue Williams *Addresses on file with the Elections Commission OFFICIAL EL DORADO COUNTY COUNSEL TITLE AND IMPARTIAL SUMMARY AN INITIATIVE MEASURE TO REPEAL AND REFUND THE CARSON CREEK PARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT #39 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT The Carson Creek Park Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District #39 (the “Assessment District”) was formed in 2015 by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District (“EDHCSD”) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways Code, § 22500 et seq.). The purpose of the Assessment District is to provide funding for the installation, maintenance, and operation of improvements for a park within the Assessment District’s boundaries. Districts such as the Assessment District are authorized to levy assessments subject to compliance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and California Constitution Article XIIID (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). An assessment differs from a tax in that a tax may be imposed without reference to peculiar benefits to particular individuals or property or without regard to whether the person or property subject to the tax received any particular benefit from the tax. An assessment, however, can be imposed only for a “special benefit” conferred on the real property assessed, and must be in proportion to, and not greater than, the special benefit conferred on the property assessed. Additionally, California Constitution Article XIIIC, Section 3, states, “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, including, but not limited to, Sections 8 and 9 of A1iicle II, the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge.” On June 13, 2019, the EDHCSD held a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution establishing an assessment on property within the Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2019/2020. On June 11, 2020, the EDHCSD held a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution establishing an assessment on property within the Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2020/2021. Upon the conclusion of each hearing, the EDHCSD found that a majority protest did not exist and, thus, adopted a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report for the Assessment District and levying an assessment on each

lot or parcel in the Assessment District in the amount of $380.91 per unit for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 and $90.00 per unit for Fiscal Year 2020/2021. This initiative measure seeks to repeal that assessment and order a refund of any monies collected pursuant to that assessment. 8/5 8006 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME PC 20200244 TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS: 1.

Azar declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19; and WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation of a State of Emergency for the State of California due to COVID-19; and WHEREAS, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic; and WHEREAS, on March 12, 2020, the County’s Public Health Officer declared a state of emergency in El Dorado County due to COVID-19 health and safety impacts and on March 17, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 0512020 ratifying the Sheriff’s proclamation of a local emergency due to an imminent and proximate threat to the public health from introduction of COVID-19; and WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20 ordering all residents “to immediately heed the current State public health directives,” which included a Department of Public Health directive that people who leave their homes or places of residences “should at all times practice social distancing”; and WHEREAS, on May 4, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-6020, which “orders” that “[a]ll residents are directed to continue to obey State public health directives ... as the State Public Health Officer may provide;” and WHEREAS, effective July 13, 2020, the State Public Health Officer directed the closure of indoor operations for various business sectors, including dine-in restaurants, wineries, and tasting rooms; and WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding executive orders are directly affecting retail operations within El Dorado County since social distancing recommendations for the creation of physical space between individuals significantly reduces the ability of retail businesses to operate at financially viable levels; and WHEREAS, easing restrictions on outdoor retail space and dining areas will preserve the health and safety of residents by protecting their health and safety while also allowing retail operations in accordance with the social distancing recommendations; and WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic, the corresponding executive orders, and social distancing measures have also resulted in reduced business operations within the County, a loss of revenue, lost employment, and impacts to the livelihood of County residents; and WHEREAS, immediate action is necessary to ease requirements regarding outdoor eating and retail sales in an effort to facilitate compliance with the Governor’s orders and protect the health and safety of patrons of those businesses while at the same time providing opportunities for businesses to continue to operate and, thus, reverse declining revenues and reduce unemployment of County residents; and WHEREAS, Government Code section 25131 expressly authorizes the Board of Supervisors to adopt an urgency ordinance immediately upon its introduction and Government Code section 25123 makes such an urgency ordinance effective immediately.

The Board of Supervisors finds and declares that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein. Section 2.

The Board directs that for the duration of this Ordinance, existing restaurants that wish to expand their outdoor dining opportunities must comply with the El Dorado County Temporary Outdoor Program (the “Program”) (Exhibit A), which is incorporated as if set forth in full herein. The Program specifies development standards and identifies best practices to ensure social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic and to ensure that outdoor dining and retail sales areas function in a safe way. Section 3. The Board of Supervisors finds that minor text edits to the County’s zoning code are necessary to implement the Program and to provide clarity on increased outdoor eating and retail sales opportunities.

Section 5.

They range in size from 4 feet to 100 feet tall. The ornamental

Japanese maple (Acer Palmatum) has more than 1,000 cultivars and lives to be 100plus years old. They are distinguished by opposite leaf arrangement, where the leaves are opposite each other on the stem. Their foliage is divided into two types — either palm-shaped or delicate and lacy — and all have male and female flowers on the same plant. Quail and songbirds are attracted to their flowers. Flowers are followed by fruit called “samaras,” shaped like wings, which spin and carry the maple seeds a long distance. These seeds can be collected for propagation but, when grown, may not be an exact clone of the parent plant. However, I’ve found that the seeds from our Japanese maples growing wild in the yard have grown to be the exact same, beautiful tree. Japanese maples grow well in Sunset Western Garden Book’s Climate Zones 2-10. They are slow-growing to 20 feet tall with equal or greater spread. Location is important as they like filtered or afternoon shade and shelter from dry, hot winds. Keep them moist in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. A common cause of failure in the Japanese Maple is poor drainage. If they show burn on leaf edges, flood their soil occasionally to leach out salts. Leaf burn seems to affect the more finely-cut leaf type. Prune to accentuate the natural shape and no more than one-third of the structure, in early fall to the end of January in mild-winter areas. Fertilize sparingly in spring and midsummer with half the strength listed on the label of any all-purpose fertilizer. The names of some magnificent Japanese
