Jeffrey Warren years in the environmental health field, working for 20-plus years in Orange County as a supervising environmental health specialist in consumer protection, bio-terrorism/ preparedness and database management. He is a registered environmental health specialist with the California Department of Public Health. “It is a crowning point in my career of an environmental specialist. I’m very proud to be here,” said Warren. “I had great leadership before I came here to fill in the shoes of Greg Stanton. He’s been a great mentor and I look forward to carry on the tradition here.” His salary is set at $142,376 a year. An Arizona State University graduate with a bachelor of science in biology, Warren and his family live in Placerville.

El Dorado County was abuzz Tuesday night as the community connected. From Pollock Pines to Rescue and nearly everywhere in between, neighbors and businesses fired up their grills and organized parties as part of the annual National Night Out. In Placerville, police officers, City Council members, city staff and fire safe council members rallied at the police department before splitting up and heading out to eight street parties planned throughout town for National Night Out. The National Association of Town Watch established National Night Out in 1984 as a “take back the streets” crime prevention program. That year 2.5 million people from 400 communities spanning 23 states participated. Fast forward 38 years and 38 million individuals from 16,000 communities in every state in the nation roll out the block party carpet on the first Tuesday in August to come together with public service professionals to build safer neighborhoods and stronger bonds. Placerville has participated each year and boasts recognition for its efforts. “We are very proud of our efforts in National Night Out,” said Police Chief Joseph Wren. n

Firefighters dig a containment line around a brush fire off Quartz Mountain Drive in Placerville Tuesday.

Fire crews jump on Placerville blaze Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Firefighters from Cal Fire and the El Dorado County Fire Protection District worked all afternoon and through the night to extinguish a wildland fire that broke out Tuesday off Quartz Mountain Drive near Bedford Avenue in Placerville. The blaze burned 2.6 acres but caused no damage to structures and no injuries were reported, according to fire district officials. The fire, reported around noon, posed a threat to nearby homes when it spotted outside a wet line established by fire crews. The blaze was 80% contained by 5 p.m., mitigating any threat to homes. Cal Fire aircraft could be seen flying above the fire, helping hand crews cutting fire line below in a coordinated effort to attack what has been dubbed the Coloma Fire. No residents were ordered to evacuate. El Dorado County Fire Chief Tim Cordero told the Mountain Democrat Wednesday the cause of the fire is under investigation.

What Causes It?

Mountain Democrat photos by Eric Jaramishian

Things got technical at Cameron Park’s National Night Out party Tuesday at Peak Nutrition on Coach Lane where officers with the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated capabilities of the SWAT robot. Cameron Park’s National Night Out event also included live music by the B-Side Band, food trucks, refreshments and a visit from the Homeless Outreach Team. Deputy Jeramy Beckman with the Homeless Outreach Team converses with the Kelsey brothers Samuel, 3, left, and Harlan, 6, of Shingle Springs as they saddle up on a Sportsman 850 ATV.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

1 Harlan and Samuel react to sheriff’s Sgt. Alexander Sorey showing off the EDSO robot’s remote controller.

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Injured man rescued at falls Mountain Democrat staff A man who was injured on a hike to Horsetail Falls Sunday was rescued with the help of the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Search and Rescue team and a California Highway Patrol Valley Division helicopter crew. The hiker reportedly suffered major injuries after falling down a cliff, landing on a ledge where he was stranded but able to get a signal to call 911 and notify family.

Vaccination hospitalizations and deaths all increasing in our region and throughout the country,” states a news release from district officials. “We are in the midst of a public health crisis and now is the time for bold, courageous action,” said Los Rios Board President Deborah Ortiz. “By all accounts, the overwhelming majority of serious cases and deaths in California and nationwide are among the unvaccinated, underscoring the need for urgent action by institutions like ours to do our part to protect our campus communities.” District officials say exceptions will be granted for eligible documented medical conditions as well as narrowly defined and sincerely held religious beliefs. Masks will also be required for all students, faculty and staff in any indoor space on Los Rios properties regardless of vaccination status. If students choose not to receive their first vaccine dose by the Oct. 1 deadline, Los Rios will continue to offer online course options for enrollment.

A Search and Rescue team member specifically trained in technical helicopter rescue was flown by H-20 and lowered by rope to the ledge where the injured hiker spent the night. The rescuer then prepared the hiker to be hoisted out of the steep terrain by H-20. The injured hiker was taken to Strawberry Meadow where he was transferred for transport by ground to a local hospital.

California Matters

Early recall election could backfire on Gov. Newsom

ov. Gavin Newsom and his pals in the Legislature thought they were being very clever when they advanced the date of his recall election several weeks to Sept. 14. At the time, events seemed to be going Newsom’s way and an DAN WALTERS earlier election would, they believed, take advantage of those circumstances while giving his enemies less time to persuade voters to oust him. Newsom had lifted the personal and economic restrictions he imposed to battle COVID-19, the economy seemed to be picking up, he had signed a state budget loaded with cash payments and other new benefits and he was launching an extensive tour of the state to tell voters that it was “roaring back.” It’s possible, however, that advancing the election will backfire on Newsom because events are no longer going his way. A new strain of COVID-19 is hitting the state hard, wildfires are burning out of control and drought has led to shortages of water. Last week Newsom interrupted his “roaring back” tour to impose vaccination mandates on some public employees and healthcare workers, urge private employers to do the same and beg millions of Californians who have shunned vaccinations to get the shots. Foremost, from California Gov. Gavin a purely political Newsom and the standpoint, a new Legislature advanced statewide poll shows him just breaking the date of his recall even among voters election to Sept. 14 who are most likely but it could backfire to cast ballots on the recall. if events continue to The poll, conducted turn negative. by the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley, found that 50% of likely voters favor Newsom, but nearly as many, 47%, favor the recall. While Newsom enjoys a strong lead among all registered voters, the poll said Republicans are highly motivated to turn out and vote against the governor, while Democrats and independents tend to be apathetic. “The higher GOP turnout is being driven by several factors,” poll director Mark DiCamillo said. “First, Republicans express far greater interest in voting in the recall election than Democrats or No Party Preference voters. Second, there is a widespread expectation among Democrats and No Party Preference voters that Newsom will defeat the recall, which may be fostering greater complacency among recall opponents than among supporters. “Third, voters in most jurisdictions will see only two questions on the recall ballot, the Yes/No vote on the governor’s recall and who should replace

Letters to the Editor Hey, Joe! EDITOR:

ay to go! You really know how to put the “crap” in “crapitalism.” You encourage Russia and Iraq in their pipeline projects and then you shot down our latest and biggest oil production project — throwing thousands of workers out of their jobs. Gasoline in our area immediately went from $2.98 per gallon to almost $4 a gallon. (It’s supply and demand, dummy.) But the real tragedy is the fact that your brilliance could plunge the United States into a huge inflationary recession, which will snowball across the free world. Go back inside, hook up the electrodes and go back to sleep. We need to do without your “guidance.” DOUG ROSCOE Shingle Springs

Today’s headlines from yesterday EDITOR: was reading an article from a podcast about the goals of the Communist Party in the United States in 1963. It took them a while but they are getting there. First on the list, the 1963 Communist Party told Congress it wanted the U.S. to accept coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. Second is for the U.S. to be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. The rest of the top 25 of the list: 3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. 4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. 5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. 6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. 7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. 8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. 9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress. 10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual

representation in the U.N. 11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow.) 12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. 13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. 14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. 16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 18. Gain control of all student newspapers. 19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policymaking positions. 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures. 22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.” 23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” 24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press. 25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. DENNIS WADE Camino

The Not So Weekly Daley

The nefarious Jan. 6 plot — a mystery no more?

he once impenetrable veil masking a plethora of shenanigans that led to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, is gradually becoming not so impenetrable. A number of my confidential informants in the Washington, D.C., CHRIS area have forwarded a cache of newly uncovered documents to me and I intend to share many (but not all) of them with you. But first a little history. Consider the infamous 1951-53 “Doctors’ Plot.” Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and his henchfolk concocted the plot to target Jewish doctors for “planning to assassinate national political leaders.” The alleged goal of blaming Jewish doctors was eventually to remove Jews from society and force them into the

notorious system of concentration camps known as the Gulag. That word comprises the first letters of the Russian words translated to “Main Administration for Corrective Labor Camps.” After Stalin’s death in 1953, rational Soviet DALEY leaders debunked the plot for “lack of evidence.” Some diehards, however, clung to the notion that plot members were guilty of causing the “unnatural and untimely death” of the Man of Steel. Today, according to my sources, we have a 2021 version I’m calling the “Capitol Janitors’ Plot.” It may also include various and nefarious dish washers, car parkers and assorted groundskeepers. It remains unclear if there is a topkick janitor-in-charge or a whole

group of radicalized Capitol denizens running the conspiracy. In any case, the purloined documents clearly indicate a substantial and complex level of planning by people who have very special skills and intimate knowledge of the building and its environs. Who else knew how to open all those doors and who tampered with the windows to weaken them against repeated bashing by revolting hordes? It seems pretty obvious when you read the documents and it appears to have begun a little over four years ago — plenty of time to fine tune the “mission.” Who but janitors and maintenance crews would know where all those secret cubbies and hidey-holes are that the terrified senators and representatives hunkered down in to escape the raging maelstrom around them? (BTW): Congressional members and staff and even Capitol Police are not above suspicion either, just to be fair

to the janitors, et al. Mounting accusations against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as the mastermind and facilitator in-chief of the so-called insurrection are nothing more than red herrings in the broader cover-up effort, the documents reveal. Crazier than the Pelosi angle is the “Possible Pence Play.” That scenario has the vice president prompting the rioters to yell, “Hang Mike Pence.” After all, what better way to divert suspicion from you toward someone else? Fool proof, but maybe too complicated by half. The plotters have thus effectively manipulated amped-up partisan theories about the event. Thus also, have those minions successfully co-opted the conspiracy away from the janitors and their allies and directed it toward increasingly absurd conspirators. A “well-oiled machine,” as someone once declared regarding a

By a 10-percentage point margin, likely voters say California is on the “wrong track” and all of the current negative factors, particularly fires and the new surge in COVID-19, are likely to worsen over the next few weeks. Newsom will be under pressure to take more aggressive steps to curb the revived pandemic, such as imposing new mask-wearing or vaccination mandates. Schools are set to reopen during the

Daley

voting period and how they will do so is still somewhat uncertain. Will local school systems insist that teachers be vaccinated as a condition of returning to the classroom? Newsom was asked about that, but ducked the question. With COVID-19 once again flaring up, no one knows how many parents will keep their kids at home. It’s a political minefield and the Berkeley IGS poll indicates that Newsom must do more to motivate friendly voters to cast ballots while avoiding major mistakes, or the earlier election will blow up in his face.

different but semi-related type situation in the same town but down the street. Enough said about that. My confederates in D.C. have so far failed to uncover one or more motives underlying the conspiracy. Speculation runs from just being p****d-off in general all the way to trying to actually overthrow the government (thereby losing their jobs?), which would directly amount to “cutting off your nose to spite your face” in my book. Specific links from the mob to the janitors and vice versa are not currently known, my sources

admit. In the murk of Washington and who knows what other locales may have been in play, it is difficult to apprehend so far. And as far as we do know, nobody involved is talking to the media or to federal investigators. Suffice it to say that the search for the truth is ongoing, my sources assure me, so I can continue to assure you. This story is not over yet ... not by a long shot.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). The reason you want to know about someone is more than sheer curiosity. You wonder about the potential. Do you share commonalities? Is there an opening? Can you make a connection? The right questions will be key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have an urge to open all the windows and doors so fresh, life-giving air can circulate. This is the same urge that sends you adventuring into the wide, busy world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In much of life, the first step is a point of no return. This is why arenas allowing for experimentation are so popular. They embody the nature of play, which is to try things without serious consequence or commitment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As compassionate as you are, listening to talk that goes on and on meaninglessly feels like an assault. With a healthy appreciation for pleasant, articulate brevity, you’ll craft your side of the conversation accordingly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To some degree you can choose your teachers and your students, though life will surprise you in this regard. You’ll get the equivalent of a weird substitute or rambunctious pupil and make the most of it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The work feels like a grind because it is. But at least it’s a grind that matters, as it feeds and fortifies you and others. This gets harder before it gets easier, but heavenly forces will eventually come to your aid.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). That which disturbs you also interests you. Do you dare look into it? A tiny peek will be an interesting exercise in your sensory and emotional responses. One small dose can start your process of immunity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Humility must be cultivated. Without it, we are prone to mistakes of arrogance. The things we are so certain of become dangerous. A humble heart purifies your personal atmosphere and all you do there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you should proceed. It’s best to proceed, head on a swivel, ready to yield, speed up and do whatever assists the flow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you’re not strong enough to knock down the wall that closes you in, inspect it for weakness; one crack is all you need to start chipping away. Don’t see it? Look closer. There always is one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). On a spinning planet, even the most stable and concrete relationships are changing all of the time. Don’t let that throw you off-balance. You’re at your best when you expect the road to wind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Belonging is a feeling happening in a person, a poetic sense or a spiritual resonance. It’s not a fact. Belonging is subjective truth. The only person who can tell you where, if and how you belong is you.

Dan Maciel, a 19-year Placerville police veteran, has participated every year and said he enjoys the camaraderie. “It’s always a good time,” he said. “It is always good to connect with the community and learn about their concerns.” Parties were coordinated in different neighborhoods and apartment complexes in

Placerville, as well as Schnell School, Grocery Outlet and Gold Country Retirement Center. National Night Out celebrations were also held in Cameron Park, Rescue, Garden Valley, Camino and Pollock Pines.

Actors and crews members get ready to shoot a scene for “They Don’t Cast Shadows” at Ponderosa High School.

County serveosr as backdrop f indy film Odin Rasco Mountain Democrat correspondent

ACTION!

igh school students find themselves entangled in a fight between good and evil in independent film “They Don’t Cast Shadows,” which recently wrapped filming in El Dorado County. Author Bob Leone compared the movie to “Twilight” but with a focus on Christian themes. “Instead of werewolves and vampires, it’s angels and demons,” Leone said. The screenplay is adapted from a novel of the same name that Leone wrote, the first in a series. When Leone gave a few copies of the book to members of his local church to ask for reviews, Melissa Goad read it and immediately knew it had to be a film. Goad has a long history in acting and film, having been involved in the industry since she was 12. Goad and Leone shortly after started the long process of adapting the novel, cutting its 280 pages into a screenplay about 109 pages long — a standard size script for a feature-length film. Once the script was ready, Leone and Goad filmed a trailer to pitch to investors. Goad stepped in as director, not anticipating how much she would enjoy it. “I never in a million years thought I would ever be a director, so stepping up and into this role was more out of necessity. But since I’ve done it, I love it,” she told the Mountain Democrat. The trailer received positive attention and the film raised around $300,000 in funding; a typical indie production runs on a budget of $100,000 or less. Leone said he chose to film in El Dorado County because he had been a resident here for many years prior to moving to the Bay

Actor Chandler Hancock takes a break during filming at PHS. Area. Leone’s connections to the area created opportunities; filming locations were at the houses of old friends, local churches as well as at Ponderosa High School. The film and the location had a positive impact on those involved with the project. Emily Gateley plays the lead character, a young woman named Lisa McGrath who suddenly gains the ability to see angels and demons in the world around her. Gateley has been acting professionally since she was 16 and said work on this film has been a highlight of her career so far. “It’s been absolutely incredible working

on this project,” she shared. “The cast, the crew, everyone here is so insanely talented and honestly it feels like a family. I’ve had the time of my life.” Gateley’s co-star, Chandler Hancock, plays the role of the high school football player Jason Parks, whose world is shaken when McGrath starts seeing demons. Hancock began acting in college, getting into it “accidentally,” and said he’s very excited to have been cast in the role. Goad and Leone plan to present the film to studios and distributors this month and, provided the film is wellreceived, hope to film a sequel in a year with the same cast and crew.

ACKSON — Main Street Theatre Works is open at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre in Jackson and ready to launch its second summer show. Coming off a successful run of the hilarious “Kong’s Night Out,” MSTW moves from Kong-size chaos to murder with “A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody.” Written by Ron Bernas and directed by Shawn B. O’Neal, this show pays homage to the screwball comedies of the 1930s, with an ‘80s twist. The story centers around a New Year’s Eve at the Perry mansion, where Matthew Perry (Rick Grant-Coons) and his wife Julia (Amanda Aldridge) divulge their New Year’s Resolutions — his is to kill her before the year is up and hers is to stay alive so she can attend their daughter Bunny’s wedding. But as Julia dodges Matthew’s murder attempts, friends and staff mysteriously die on the family estate. Enter Det. Plotnik (Bert Andersson), a Sam Spade reincarnation who suspects everyone but hasn’t got a clue. As the bodies fall, it seems

your eyes and you’re there.” Sept. 16: An Evening with Darrell Scott — music, spirit, soul, 8 p.m. Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant and candidly honest, lilting, blooming and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here and our place in it. And ultimately, Scottt knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it and why it is held sacred. Despite COVID-19 Scott recorded two new albums, which will be available Nov. 13: The Cripple Creek Band — country, southern rock, 7 p.m. Since 2012, The Cripple Creek Band has been playing all over the West Coast. The band has opened and played with Whiskey Meyers, Jon Pardi, Neal McCoy, Drake White, The Cadillac Three, Eli Young Band, Colt Ford, Dustin Lynch, the Outlaws, Buckcherry, Love & Theft, William Michael Morgan, David Nail, Tyler Farr and many more. The last show sold out, so don’t wait. The Cripple Creek Band has a unique sound that tastefully combines country, American and southern rock music. Influenced by artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Waylon Jennings, Alabama, The Eagles, Hank Williams Jr., John Mellencamp, Travis Tritt, Eric Church, Merle Haggard, Blackberry Smoke, Chris Stapleton, Tom Petty and The Band, the CCB creates its own southern rootsstyle of music that leaves you wanting more.

and touched the hearts of millions of music fans. In March 2017 Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame. She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music — the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Dalton caught the public’s ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of country music. Those who listen to a Dalton album find themselves pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist; she’s not merely performing a 10-song set, she’s bringing each and every tune to life. It’s as if they were all written especially for her. Awarded Best New Female Artist by the Academy of Country Music in 1979, she also brought home numerous Grammy nominations and three prestigious, back to back (1979, 1980, 1981) Bay Area Music Awards for Best CountryFolk Recordings. Appearing on those shows with the likes of Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. Poune’s great supporting vocals and guitar and mandolin make this a great duo show you won’t want to miss.

a thing now. There is emotion and, dare I say, a humanizing of the heroes and villains. Who would have thought? I don’t know if “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” will bring on new fans and ignite a fresh generation of toys for the current crop of young people out there, but fans of the original cartoon or toy line will find a lot to like with this new show. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube. He has the power of Grayskull and can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.

A DE O N I L R

rowing up in the 1980s sure had a lot of perks — from the video game resurgence thanks to companies like Nintendo and Sega to movies like “The Neverending Story,” “E.T.” and “Back to the Future” to some of the best toy lines the business has ever seen. Yes, the ’80s gave us toys, a lot of toys. From G.I. Joe to Transformers and Care Bears to Cabbage Patch Kids. Toy lines and the cartoons that came with them (usually produced with the specific purpose of selling more toys) launched some legendary figures that to this day are still incredibly successful. In the early ’80s there was no bigger group of toys than the “Masters of the Universe” line. Originally launched in 1982, the line features the two main characters, He-Man (“the most powerful man in the universe”) and his archenemy Skeletor (“evil lord of destruction”) along with dozens of other allies and enemies. As the toy line gained in popularity the animated show “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” premiered, bringing about the most lucrative and successful years for the franchise. I took to these figures like a fish to water. I have some pretty vivid memories of getting my first figures of this toy line as a little guy, with my parents taking me to pick up one of the toys (it was either “He-Man” himself or his alter-ego Prince Adam) one evening as a 5-year-old. After that, I was hooked. “”Skeletor.” “Beast Man.” “Man-At-Arms.” I even lucked into the “Castle Grayskull” and “Snake Mountain” playsets in the years that followed. Eventually I moved onto

other toy lines (notably “The Real Ghostbusters” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”), but I’ll always have a soft spot for those 5-and-ahalf inch figures and the cartoon series that accompanied it. There have been attempts to reboot the property with new versions of the toy line as well as updated cartoon series over the years. Some were moderately successful but none ever came near the behemoth that the early 1980’s series was. Netflix is looking to change that with the premiere of a new limited animated series from executive producer Kevin Smith (writer/director of “Clerks,” “Chasing Amy” and “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot”) that dropped a couple weeks back. “Master of the Universe: Revelation” is a pretty darned good show, at least so far. Only five 25-minute episodes have dropped for this first season, which is curious. I know they have been working on this show for a year or two. I’m surprised that such a small batch of episodes are currently ready to go. Regardless, the new show isn’t tethered to selling specific toys so Smith and company have carte blanche to tell the stories they wish to tell. Nor is it hamstrung by a Saturday morning television ratings board. The show is mostly appropriate for kids, but if the showrunners want to show someone getting stabbed with a sword they will. That certainly never happened in 1983. The animation is crisp, there is just the right amount of nostalgia thrown in for those of us that grew up with the property and the storytelling is a lot tighter than the original show. Like I said, individual episodes aren’t intended to sell a specific figure each week so the new show has a more episodic approach. It’s telling a larger story and taking risks with the characters, which is unique for this type of show. Some have criticized that He-Man himself is not in a lot of the show (so far). Keen observers will notice it’s called “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” and not “He-man and the Masters of the Universe: Revelation.” Some of the supporting characters from the old show get more of the spotlight this time and I am fine with it. Characterization and character arcs, once thought impossible on the old cartoon series, are
