2 eateries face stiff fines if they stay open Pat Lakey Staff writer El Dorado County will send certified letters warning of hefty fines to two restaurants that county officials say are not abiding by COVID-19 restrictions, mainly by not requiring employees and others to wear face masks, in an effort to gain their compliance. The letters, reportedly to be sent out in the next few days, will explain that if Apple Bistro on Highway 50 just east of Placerville and Café El Dorado at 5787 Pleasant Valley Road do not take measures to follow directives emanating from Gov. Gavin Newsom, the suspension of their county health

Catch a falling star

“We are unable to answer the phone due to all this hype.” Jeannette Waldow, owner of Apple Bistro, has dug in her heels regarding staying open for customers with or without facial coverings. Complaints from the public led to the two eateries drawing attention from county health officials and while disciplinary action has begun against both, the women are standing firm. In fact, posted prominently at Apple Bistro are signs that essentially tell “government agents” they are trespassing on the property and therefore are themselves subject to n

Glitch skewing case rate; county avoids COVID-19 watch list Thomas Frey Staff writer

Photo by Laurie Edwards

Nothing that swims the chilly depths of Ice House Reservoir could possibly outshine the Neowise Comet as it tracks through the night sky July 22. The comet has been starring in nature’s own play, “Splendor in the Sky,” since midJune and its run can still be seen (with binoculars) nightly by checking out the northwest corner of the sky’s stage. Neowise was closest to Earth July 23 and won’t be back for another 6,800 years, according to NASA. This photo is a composite of three images taken after sunset, as the sky was darkening and then when the Neowise Comet appeared after it became completely dark.

For the time being El Dorado County Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams doesn’t think El Dorado County will be moved to the governor’s coronavirus watch list. While the Lake Tahoe region and El Dorado Hills are both designated as high case rate areas, the rest of the county has a moderate or low case rate. And Williams said the state’s data reporting system CalREDIE has a glitch that has led to underreporting of test results, causing the Governor’s Office to pause adding counties to the watch list. “The case reports that are being submitted by the lab are somehow getting hung up somewhere and not necessarily reaching the health departments,” Williams said at Tuesday’s El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting. If counties report more than 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over a 14-day period, or 8% positivity rates, they’re placed on the state’s monitoring list. If a county remains over that threshold for three straight days, additional coronavirus safety restrictions are put in place. County data reflected a case rate of 113 per 100,000 population Aug. 5 and a positivity rate of 9.4%. “I’m pretty confident at this point with the data problems that it’s pretty unlikely that even if they corrected it today and found out we were over the threshold that we wouldn’t have at least three days (but) probably a lot more than that based on them not wanting to spring anything on us,” Williams said. But watch list or no, the number of cases reported in the Tahoe region continues to draw concern. The Lake Tahoe region accounts for 340 of the county’s 702 cases (just less than 50%) that have been reported in the county and District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel wants the state to help. Novasel, who represents that area of the county, said she is seeing an increase in tourism. With much of Sacramento closed she said many people are heading up the hill to enjoy the outdoor recreation Tahoe has to offer. “It’s getting way out of control up here,” Novasel said. “People are coming up here and they don’t care. They aren’t using personal protection; social distancing is not there. It’s very difficult to enforce.” Williams said even if Tahoe closed and restricted everything like salons, malls, gyms, places of worship and n

Supervisors delay decision on raising garbage rates Dawn Hodson Staff writer With a full agenda ahead of them, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors briefly discussed and then postponed consideration of a proposed rate hike for waste disposal services at Tuesday’s meeting. The item was continued to the Aug. 25 meeting. Up for consideration is an amendment to the Solid Waste Services Franchise Agreement with Waste Connections (El Dorado Disposal Service) requiring use of compostable green waste bags, modifying language related to the collection of green waste and community cleanup events and increasing the surcharge remitted to the county on

tons of landfilled solid waste. The board also heard a request to approve rate increases for residential and commercial trash service and use of the material recovery center. If ultimately approved by the board, effective Sept. 1 rates would increase 6.69% plus 19 cents for the collection of residential solid waste and 8.28% for the collection of commercial solid waste within the El Dorado Disposal Service franchise areas A, B and C. Franchise area A includes Placerville, Shingle Springs, Rescue, Diamond Springs, El Dorado, Pollock Pines; B includes Somerset, Grizzly Flat, Fairplay, Amber Fields, Cothrin Ranch, Mt. Aukum, Outingdale; and C includes Georgetown, Pilot Hill, Lotus, Cool, Coloma, Garden Valley and

Greenwood. As examples of how rates would be affected if the increase is approved, the rate for a 35-gallon residential container in area A would go from $26.57 to $28.54, the rate for a 64-gallon container would go from $34.25 to $36.73 and the rate for a 96-gallon container would go from $40.15 to $43.03. Additional services would cost extra, such as the community cleanup event voucher, which would go from being free to $15. Commercial rates would vary depending on the amount of debris picked up as well as type and number of pickups per week. In area A, for example, one yard of waste picked up once a week n

Brian Stanley Hartsough

• 2 patients hospitalized, 0 in ICU

The greatest man we ever knew Brian Stanley Hartsough passed away July 24, 2020. Brian was born to Merle and Jacquelyn Feb. 2 1971 in Santa Rosa, Calif., although he grew up in Latrobe, Calif., as the baby of six siblings; Glenn (Pamela), Michael (Lorrie), Craig, Kerry (Bonnie) and Rebecca (Charlie). Brian graduated from Ponderosa High School and continued on to eventually marry the love of his life Christina with whom he had 5 wonderful children; Elizabeth (Jeffery), Jessica (Kenneth), Jennifer, Johnny and Jacquilyn. Brian was tough as steel but could be as soft and warm as a teddy bear. He had a heart of gold and would never give up on his loved ones. Brian loved life and loved being with his family whether it was being pop pops to his 12 grandchildren and grand puppy, 4-wheeling, camping or just spending time at home with his family. No matter where he was, he was always happiest holding his wife’s hand with family and friends. Brian showed everyone what it truly meant to have a huge heart of unconditional and unwavering love. Brian was the type of man that would be there any time of day or night without a second thought, no matter what was needed, after all, “Was there anything Brian couldn’t fix?” Everyone touched by this man’s love has been left with a void in their hearts that will probably never feel whole again. But during this time of heartache and pain we all need to push forward and strive to continue living our lives the way Brian would have and the way he would want us to, and that is with a life full of love and laughter. There are so many lessons and memories Brian has left us all with and we will carry these with us forever. Brian leaves behind his parents, wife, children, grandchildren, brothers, sister, cousins, nieces, nephews, many friend and others who he loved as family, all of whom he loved unconditionally, and who loved him unconditionally. A service is to be determined. A memorial account has been set up at El Dorado Savings Bank under the name Brian Hartsough Memorial Fund to help Tina with expenses.

Ecologists take first look at effects of fire on Caples watershed USDA Forest Service News release A fire effects report on the 2019 Caples Fire was recently completed for the Eldorado National Forest by a USDA Forest Service Fire Behavior Assessment Team. Led by fire ecologist Scott Dailey, the team analyzed vegetation data collected from the burned area in November 2019 during the first two weeks following the fire’s containment. The report is a first look at whether the Caples Fire, which was ignited as a prescribed fire, met the objectives that were intended by restoring fire to the Caples Creek watershed. “Caples is a really special watershed, and ■

Invasion of the body snatchers — the seeds are here now!

lien plant spores from another world fell on Earth and have grown into giant seed pods that have the ability to take on the human form. When the giant pod is placed near a sleeping person it replicates that human, assimilating the Richard Esposito physical characteristics and memories into an identical likeness — only the mind is devoid of all human emotion. The mystery of strange seeds being mailed from some obscure location in China has many citizens worried in our country. Americans are already confronted with the Wuhan flu virus and the mass hysteria it’s causing. That script is better adapted to the 2008 movie “The Happening,” when an unknown, airborne virus causes people to commit suicide. I suspect anyone wearing a mask outdoors with no one in sight has seen this sci-fi flick. But wait, with the escalating number of suicides occurring there’s a parallel developing between today’s virus and the fictional movie. Now we have strange seeds from China being mailed to households across the country. In the 1956 movie “The Invasion of The Body Snatchers,” Dr. Miles Bennell desperately tries to warn others of the strange phenomenon taking place. People are not themselves any longer; they’re behaving oddly and the community of Santa Mira is in jeopardy. Sixty-four years since the movie’s debut, a reallife invasion of the body snatchers appears to be in full motion here in the United States. Just look at those rioting in Portland, Seattle and beyond. Their minds have been altered. They no longer appreciate their country, fellow man or anyone with a different perspective. I suspect these nefarious seed pods arrived here much sooner than now. Individuals and entire organizations have been exposed. Their minds altered with ideals counter to the values and freedoms we share. CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times are infected. Most, if not all, of the personnel working at these news media organizations are no longer who they used to be. One by one seed pods were placed near employees during the night. The seed cover spilt open and an oozing foamy substance was blown away, exposing the new shell of the human forming inside. This person would carry a blank stare with no emotions. Everyone would be equal. No individualism. No ambition. No sense of responsibility. In their quest for new followers these beings share the same ideology. Everyone must depend on government assistance. Corporations must be abolished. Religion must be eradicated. Everyone must think alike, act alike and never speak out against the new world order. The invasion of the body snatchers is under way. Many in powerful political positions are accelerating this takeover of our free spirit, our freedom to worship, our freedom of selfn

Letters to the Editor Perseverance EDITOR: t appears to me that most of us are pretty much fed up with this whole coronavirus thing. With summer weather, we all just want to get out and enjoy life. I am sitting near (not too close) my father, who will be 98 next week, and am wishing we could all get together like we used to for a family birthday barbecue. The present situation reminds me of that most classic psychology experiment in which a child is seated in a room with an adult test administrator. A marshmallow rests on a plate on the table in front of the child. The administrator advises the child that she needs to leave the room for a few minutes and that the child can have the marshmallow while she is gone, but if the marshmallow remains upon her return, that the child can have a second marshmallow. Interesting. I hope we can all strive for that second marshmallow. RANDY PALMER Rescue

Meltdowns EDITOR: n Mr. Lanner’s letter alleging a Trump meltdown I have rarely seen a more complete basket of drivel in print. First he says Republicans are tying to portray Biden as senile. Biden is doing that all by himself. In trying to quote the Founding Fathers he said that all men and women were created equal by “the thing.” He was unable to remember God. A few months back he stood in front of a crowd loudly proclaiming his run for United States Senate. In one of his basement interviews he got so turned around he even said he was boring himself. Mr. Lanner states that Biden is falsely being accused of promoting illegal immigration. Yet he opposes the wall and holding illegals. That’s like saying I’m for law enforcement but I don’t want police or jails. Just nonsense. Biden just called Trump a racist. Really? Let me quote Biden, “Non orderly integration policies would cause my children to grow up in a racial jungle.” Biden also lavished praise on Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Grand Kleagle of the KKK. Biden has his nerve calling anybody a racist. Mr. Lanner says Republicans say Democrat mayors wouldn’t mind if the lawless blew up our cities. Got me there, Mr. Lanner, as no cities have been blown up. Burned down, yes, but not blown up.

Mr. Lanner ends by blaming Trump for the Chinese virus. He seems to forget his hero, Gov. Coumo of New York, who killed thousands by forcing nursing homes filled with the most vulnerable to take in virus-infected patients. Reminds me of Reagan’s famous line: “It’s not that liberals are ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” GEORGE ALGER Placerville

A hanging town? EDITOR: ecently the Placerville City Council canceled a special meeting scheduled for July 23 to consider the adoption of a resolution placing advisory measures on the Nov. 3 ballot asking voters whether a depiction of a noose should be removed from the city’s logo and whether the nickname of “Old Hangtown” should be removed from all official documents and facilities in the city. I find it ridiculous that I must make a case for taking off a “noose” from this city’s logo or any other city. Should San Jose include a noose on its city logo? “History” for the notorious “Hart hanging?” I am embarrassed for city leaders as we greet newcomers to Placerville in the 21st century. A noose symbol and reference to a city as a “Hangtown” goes beyond history or racism. I am a fifth generation native Californian and my greatgrandmother was a mail-order bride during the Gold Rush so I understand all about history. I also understand frontier justice, which is nothing to be proud of. My cousin from the 1800s was shot in the back by another California city’s founding father in a dispute over water rights. Should this be celebrated? Beyond history and racism, a noose represents an act of brutality which is used, even as we speak, as a tool to threaten and kill people. In recent days the news has reported an increase in “noose incidents.” The intention of a “noose” is clear. LARA GULARTE Diamond Springs

Newsom signs new gaming compact with local tribe

Mountain Democrat

Dawn Hodson Staff writer

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Aug. 4 signed a new gaming compact between the state of California and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. The key change in the new compact is that it gives the tribe credits for some contributions it makes to El Dorado County, nonprofits and civic organizations, according to tribe representatives. It also credits investments for environmental sustainability, public protection and more. The current compact would have expired in 12 years — the new compact expires in 25 years. “We thank the governor and his team for their vision and leadership,” said Tribal Chairwoman Regina Cuellar in response to the signing. “This compact helps bring the framework of our compact into line with other tribal state compacts.” Tribe officials also said they see the new compact as further strengthening the commitment between the tribe and the state and of setting the stage for the tribe to expand many quality-of-life programs for both tribal members and other local residents. “Red Hawk Casino is essential to the tribe’s viability. We are grateful for the opportunity to expand and develop a wide variety of life-changing services and programs for tribal members. Examples include education and youth development, higher education, family health and wellness, our honored elders, environmental sustainability and police and fire departments. Equally critical to the tribe is preserving, protecting and promoting our history, culture and traditions,” said Cuellar. “This compact will allow us to further support an integrated program of financial contributions, volunteerism and community involvement in non-profit and other community segments.” In addition to Red Hawk Casino the tribe operates the Shingle Springs Health and Wellness Center that provides medical, dental, behavioral health and pharmacy services. The tribe’s Temporary Assistance to Needy Families programs provide services in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties. “Our first priority is to provide more housing for our members,” noted Cuellar. “We are also dedicated to expanding our education, and health and wellness programs. We will be fine-turning these plans over the next several months.”

constitutes one violation, Hass explained. A manager at Café El Dorado said the business was told it has 15 days in which to request a hearing in the matter and he said that is the intention of the owner. Hass confirmed each restaurant has 15 calendar days in which to request a hearing before Environmental Management. Originally charged as misdemeanors, the purported violations were downgraded to infractions, she added, meaning the matter won’t be going to Superior Court but will be conducted internally by Environmental Management. The restaurant owners have until Aug. 14 to request a hearing. The violations alleged by the county are regarding sections of the California Health and Safety Code.

Find all the proposed rate increases attached to the meeting agenda online at eldorado.legistar.com (items five and six). An increase in rates did not attract much public support despite the fact that the board made no decision. Most residents calling into the meeting opposed a rate increase, citing the financial strain people are under due to the COVID-19 lockdown of the economy. The El Dorado Hills Community Service District also asked for a delay in any decision in order to inform its residents of the proposed changes. Other residents called in to thank El Dorado Disposal for its support of the community.

County spokeswoman Carla Hass explained on July 31 Environmental Management staff gave notice to the owners that they were in violation of the state Public Health Officer’s order, specifically by providing dine-in service, not requiring designated employees to wear face coverings and not providing adequate physical spacing for diners inside and outside. Their county-issued health permits were suspended at that time. Because Café El Dorado and Apple Bistro have conducted business as usual and still were open as of yesterday, they are operating without a valid health permit, Hass said. That carries a fine of $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense if committed within a year and $500 for each violation thereafter, within a year. A single day of non-compliance

City love their state of Kansas. Even a 10th grader knows that military Fort Bragg is located in Fayetteville, N.C., and that Kansas City is in Missouri. Braxton Bragg was one of the worst Confederate generals. On two occasions his men tried to kill him so unpopular, unfair, quick tempered, unstable and unable to listen was he. No wonder Trump feels an affinity for Gen. Bragg. Secession was a vile experiment by rich cotton farmers to preserve slavery in the South. It took a civil war and 618,222 lives to end the experiment but, hydra-like, the idea refuses to die. President Wilson gave it impetus by allowing the erection of various and sundry monuments honoring Henry Benning, the driving force behind secession; John Gordon, Georgia’s KKK leader; Robert E. Lee, whose army kidnapped escaped slaves and returned them to their owners or sold them; George Pickett fled to Canada to escape prosecution for summarily executing Union prisoners. Rounding out these four are Gens. Leonidas Polk, Braxton Bragg and John Bell Hood. All seven have military bases named after them. A common trait all these former U.S Army officers shared was an oath to “support and defend the Constitution ...” — the same oath I took when I was commissioned a second lieutenant. No amount of re-writing history by the right and its racist allies will change the fact that these men were deserters and traitors, deserving to be tossed and forgotten in the dustbin of history.

Caples

Continued from A3

we want to learn as much as we can about the effects of the fire,” said Eldorado National Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. “This report captures just the beginning. There will be a lot of change over time. We plan to study the area over the next several years and will continue to share what we are seeing in the landscape.” The Caples Prescribed Fire was declared a wildfire during a major wind event 10 days after it was ignited. Approximately 1,080 acres burned during the prescribed fire phase from Sept. 30 to Oct. 9, 2019. Another 2,355 acres burned during the wildfire phase from Oct. 10-31. Of the total area that burned, 320 acres were outside the original project area. The team’s report is an assessment of direct, first-order fire effects from the Caples Fire including 1) burn severity across the fire

area; 2) immediate tree mortality caused by the fire; and 3) hazardous fuel reduction. The assessment includes immediate effects on trees such as crown scorch and char height, which are indicators of what trees may die over the next several years. “Having information about immediate fire effects helps fire managers improve science-based planning and prescribed fire operations across the forest,” said Jay Kurth, fire management officer for the Eldorado National Forest. “Our goal is a mosaic landscape designed to slow the spread of wildfire, but there is not a formula for how to do this.” The Caples Prescribed Fire was part of the Caples Ecological Restoration Project, a large multiyear project that includes 8,800 acres of prescribed fire in the Caples Creek watershed. Prior to burning the U.S.

Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region 5 ecology program had established 80 vegetation monitoring plots to compare conditions before and after restoration activities. Fire Behavior Assessment Team ecologists collected data from 46 preburn monitoring plots within the footprint of the Caples Fire. The plots will be revisited this summer and again at 3 and 5 years postburn. Assessed were the severity of soil, ground and surface fuel; understory vegetation; and overstory/trees. The report also considered differences in severity between forest and shrub vegetation types, and between prescribed fire and wildfire phases of the fire event. The burn plan for the Caples Prescribed Fire aimed to create a vegetation mosaic with high mortality patches of forest limited to 10 acres or less. The size of the high severity

areas was not evaluated in the current report but will be part of ongoing studies in the burn area. The burn plan also aimed to limit how many large trees would be lost from prescribed fire, calling for no more than a 5% reduction of trees greater than 30 inches in diameter. The Caples Creek watershed has some of the largest pine, fir and cedar trees remaining in the Sierra Nevada, and the number of these large trees was already 41-45% below the historic natural range prior to burning. Large tree mortality was found to be 0%

Data glitch

during the prescribed fire phase compared to 23% during the wildfire phase. The report noted some trees may have died from drought before the fire, which fieldwork this summer will help clarify. “The goal of the Caples project is to restore fire to the ecosystem. The good news from this first report is the forest is less crowded with small trees and the fuel load is much lower. It is definitely closer to what it was like before we suppressed all fires,” said Supervisor Marsolais. “Protecting the

largest, oldest trees after decades of fuel accumulation is not easy,” he added. “With less fuel, the large trees that are still there will not be as threatened by the next fire. The open areas make the habitat a lot more diverse and we may even see some species that haven’t been there for 100 years. That is very exciting.” More information about the Caples Ecological Restoration Project can be found on the Eldorado National Forest website at fs.usda.gov/detail/ eldorado/news-events.

offices, that it likely wouldn’t impact tourism very much. “I think the list restrictions are not really going to help Tahoe very much,” Williams said. “Most people don’t go to Tahoe for any of those things really. It’s not going to have the effect we want it to have. If we want to do something at Tahoe it has to be a different approach.” Novasel said there are concerts and big parties taking place and she sees people at the grocery store not standing 6 feet apart while in line. “We need help at the state and federal level because we don’t have the ability to enforce,” Novasel said. “We can’t block the highway.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There have been times when you didn’t know what you were feeling until long after the fact. Now, there’s very little lag time, and this greater selfawareness allows for today’s excellent decision. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A stoic approach to the day will serve you well. Your calm resolve is extremely attractive and becomes even more so in situations where people might typically lose their cool. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you really think about it, you have some beliefs that the people around you might be surprised by. It’s those rarified ideas that will open new thought processes to you and move you in a fulfilling direction. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who think they know are at a disadvantage, as their assumptions put up a barrier between themselves and the truth. It’s the ones who understand their own ignorance who will learn the most. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re doing something in the world, you’re also making fans and foes. Effective action gets attention and will have a cheering and booing section. All of those strong opinions count as a win. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Working harder doesn’t necessarily mean putting in more time. You will apply yourself with great intention and laser focus making quick work of the tasks you most need to accomplish to move forward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your inner dialogue seems to be making a case for your behavior. Let this put you on

alert. Why do you think you need to justify this to yourself? Either this is strange and new or you have a feeling you’re in the wrong. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll amuse yourself like it was your job, and though it’s not, your professional life will benefit anyhow, as it spurs the relaxed frame of mind you need to come up with brilliant ideas that can be widely applied. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For a relationship to be tight, you have to know who the other person is. This is, of course, ever-changing, so there’s always more to learn. One definition of a good relationship is: two people staying aware of one another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You radiate an obvious delight in what you’re doing, who you’re with and what you’re talking about. This is so attractive to the people around you, and you shouldn’t be too surprised by what develops here. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, and yet it can’t be true. New things happen every minute. Sure, it’s a remix, but what isn’t? You get the most out of endeavors by assuming their uniqueness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Those who have had happy hearts feel capable of achieving that state again and will take every opportunity to recreate the status. Those who don’t know what’s possible will take longer to come around if they ever do.

skaton Village and Gold Country Retirement Center residents in Placerville enjoyed their own, personal Corvette Drive-By Caravan Saturday when 23 members of Cameron Park Corvette Club revved up and rolled into the facilities’ lots. The parade of sleek Corvettes organized in Cameron Park, made its way to Gold Country Retirement Center, then down Main Street in Placerville and on to Eskaton Village. “I just love Corvettes,” said Eskaton Village resident Bob Addison. “It was fabulous to have the cars come by today. It helped lift my spirits a lot and get outside during this health crisis. We have been cooped up a long time.” The Cameron Park Corvette Club has been in existence since 1991. The club’s motto reads: “To have fun! To drive that car, that for some reason is sucking all that money from your checkbook! To meet other people who are stuck in the past and love it! And to assist each other in having a great time by owning a ‘legend.’ Corvettes Forever!” Fun was certainly had by those who watched the beautiful cars Saturday. “We had so much joy today and are grateful to the Cameron Park Corvettes for entertaining us today,” said Eskaton Village resident Georgia Howell. Pulling off pandemic-safe events in the middle of a health crisis can be a bit tricky, especially for those living in assisted living facilities and are at high risk of more severe symptoms related to COVID-19. “We want to give our residents some events to look forward to these days, but need to first and foremost make sure they are safe,” explained Jennifer Davis, the sales counselor for Eskaton Village. “Being outside where everyone is wearing masks and social distancing is key.

his performance in “An Unspeakable Triumph of Supreme Brilliance” and this year Walker is up in the same category for his performance in “Game of Tiaras.” “The Laramie Project” ran in November at El Dorado High School and now Director Paul Tomei and members of his crew are reaping the rewards with five nominations in the Education Plays category. Tomei is up for Direction and Set Design while El Dorado High School as a whole is up for Overall Production. The play took place inside El Dorado’s

unique Studio 81 and Scott Bertram and Hunter O’Neil took full advantage of the studio. Bertram is nominated for Lighting Design while O’Neil is up for Sound Design. The Elly Awards celebrate excellence and the outstanding achievements of community theaters and artists in the greater Sacramento area and include theaters within a 70-mile radius of Sacramento. The 38th Annual Elly Awards will be held Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. on Twitch TV. For more information visit ellyawards.com or call (916) 443-8229.

buttered and salty ‘Muppets Now’ HH 1/2 TV-PG, 22 minutes Family Now playing/streaming on Disney+

e’ve been devoid of the typical summer onslaught of movies and media for months. As hot August nights give into the first chills of fall there is still little hope on the horizon for trips to the cineplex. The good news: We have some relief coming with bigbudget, Hollywood films arriving directly into our homes in the coming weeks. Let’s dive into a little news and then a review, huh?

Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent did not see it because it was on YouTube’s paid subscription service, YouTube Premium (formerly YouTube Red). YouTube has since decided to leave the original content game and their loss is Netflix’ (and our) gain. The streaming giant will be pushing the first two seasons hard before season three premieres this fall. If you like the original films or just want to watch a fun, comedic ensemble action show, you can do much worse. I love this show. “Cobra Kai never dies!” Our final piece of news comes from Disney, which was the first major studio to announce a big-budget

Movie news Two highly anticipated films due to release in theaters this summer are coming home. “Bill and Ted Face The Music,” the sequel to 1989’s hit “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and 1991’s criminally underrated sequel “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey,” was originally due to land in theaters this month but, for obvious reasons, was delayed. The studio and filmmakers chose to get it out there and we sure can use a comedic trip down Nostalgia Lane, couldn’t we? The movie will now land in select theaters (i.e., probably not in California) and on-demand, which is where I assume most of us will be watching it. “Excellent!” Speaking of ’80s nostalgia — “Cobra Kai,” the tv series sequel to the original “Karate Kid” movies, will now be streaming on Netflix starting Aug. 28 and this is great news! I’ve been singing this show’s praises for two years now, but many

summer movie that will come straight to our homes, bypassing a theatrical window. “Mulan,” Disney’s $300 million live-action remake of the 1998 animated film will stream on Disney+ starting Sept. 4. But there is a catch. Not only will you have to be subscribed to Disney+ ($6.99/ month but a great deal if you have kids!), you will also have to fork out $29.99 to watch it. I’ve seen some balk at this price but you have to remember, if you were to take one person with you to see this film it would already be $30. If you take a couple of kids that’s almost $60, before concessions. I’m not an apologist for the mouse house’s math, but I’m fine being able to make my own kettle corn and use the bathroom whenever I want. My two boys can also be as loud as they want during the film. Would it be nice if it was $10 cheaper? n

Get a delicious taste of murder, mystery News release JACKSON — Just because Main Street Theatre Works had to cancel its 2020 summer season at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre, doesn’t mean the show can’t go on. MSTW got such great response for its stagedreading of “Kong’s Night Out,” that members decided to present Act I of “A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody,” at 7 p.m. Aug. 8 on YouTube. The performance will also be broadcast on KVGC Radio 1340 AM or 96.5 FM in Amador County. To watch this special virtual performance, patrons are asked to make a donation of any size and they will be sent a private link via email to watch the show on YouTube. The event is sponsored by Toma & Associates Inc. and Yorba Shake Ridge Ranch & Vineyards.

This will be a fun, hour-long performance that patrons can watch from the comfort of their home and it’s a much-needed event for the company. It gives the actors a chance to do what they love, it helps raise some necessary funds for MSTW and it helps the theater company stay connected to its loyal patrons — and hopefully acquire new ones. “A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody” is a comedic look at a murder, mystery and mix ups. It’s New Year’s Eve at the Perry mansion and Matthew Perry and his wife, Julia, are sharing their New Year’s resolutions. His is to kill her before the year is up and hers is to stay alive through the year. But as Julia dodges Matthew’s murder attempts, several friends and staff mysteriously die on the family estate. As the bodies fall, it seems that Matthew is responsible for murdering everyone except his wife. But if he didn’t

do it, who did? Join the cast (Lew Rooker, Allen Pontes, Lee Marie Kelly, Bert Andersson, Skyler King & Grace Leekley) as they bring to life a fun twist to a classicstyle mystery, directed by Shawn B. O’Neal. The staged reading will give theater lovers a taste of what they will see next summer at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre, when MSTW produces the full play. Main Street Theatre Works is a professionally oriented theater company, performing in the heart of Amador County. Now entering its 26th season, MSTW continues to be dedicated to bringing professional and community theater artists together to produce classical and contemporary plays, striving for a balance that stimulates both artists and audiences.

The Fair Market comes to the fairgrounds beginning Aug. 7 Suzanne Wright El Dorado County Fairgrounds

farmers market, suitably named the Fair Market hosted by the El Dorado County Fair Association at the El Dorado Fair & Event Center, 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville, begins Aug. 7. In addition to certified produce, attendees will find handcrafts and re-purposed items available for purchase from local artisans and plenty of parking and room for booths. “We’re extremely excited for this market,” said Jody Gray, Fair CEO. “With events canceled and everything shut down, the fairgrounds have been quiet. It will be nice to see people enjoying the grounds again.” The market will be held in the plaza, allowing plenty of room for physical distancing and keeping people safe, while also getting out and enjoying some fresh air.

During the market on Aug. 14, the fair association will bring back the popular Fair Food event, with fair favorites like fresh dipped corn dogs, funnel cakes and the traditional 20-30 Club Tacos. There is an option on the fair’s website, eldoradocountyfair.org, to pre-pay for food. Aug. 28 and moving forward, the fair is partnering with Old Town Grill, allowing outdoor dining for those who wish to enjoy the delectable food coming out of Chef John Sanders’ kitchen. His plan is to feature produce purchased from the growers at the Fair Market. The Fair Market is open to the public 4-7:30 p.m. on most Fridays. Attendees should enter through the gate on Armory Road (next door to Raley’s and the Veterans Hall) and park in the designated parking area (on the back lawn). Parking and admission is free. Prospective sellers or restaurants interested in participating in this outdoor dining experience should contact the fair office at (530) 621-5860 or fair@ eldoradocountyfair.org.

(County Planner: Efren Sanchez 530-621-6591) (CEQA Addendum to 2015 Targeted General Plan Amendment-Zoning Ordinance Update [TGPA-ZOU] Project EIR prepared)** On July 9, 2020, Planning staff presented the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance Major Amendments (OR17-0002) project to the Planning Commission (Item 3, Legistar File 20-0829). The Planning Commission hearing discussion focused on the proposed new Drive-Through Facilities zoning regulations, and amendments to the Public Notice Requirements and Procedures. Two El Dorado County residents spoke during the public comment period. One speaker requested cannabis setback consistency with the winery section of the Zoning Ordinance, and the other speaker asked for clarification on the proposed project as to why certain rezone components were removed from the project. Following closure of deliberation and public comments, Commissioner Williams made a motion, with a second by Commissioner Miller. The Planning Commission motion (5-0 vote) approved staff’s recommended actions with additional recommendations provided by the Planning Commission for the Board’s consideration. The full recommendation from the Planning Commission is summarized in the Planning Commission meeting minutes from July 9, 2020 (Legistar File 20-1037). All persons interested are invited to write their comments to the Board of Supervisors in advance of the hearing. In light of COVID-19, all persons are encouraged to observe and participate in the hearing remotely, and in-person attendance may be restricted depending on the current COVID-19 recommendations as the hearing date approaches. For the current remote options, including whether in-person attendance is allowed, please check the meeting Agenda no less than 72 hours before the meeting, which will be posted at https://eldorado.legistar. com/Calendar.aspx. If you challenge the application in court, you may be limited to raising only those items you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Board of Supervisors at, or prior to, the public hearing. Any written correspondence should be directed to the Board of Supervisors at 330 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 or via e-mail: edc.cob@edcgov.us. **A CEQA Addendum is a document filed to satisfy CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). This document states that the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance Major Amendments would not result in any new or more sever impacts than those previously analyzed in the 2015 TGPA-ZOU Project EIR. The CEQA Addendum, together with the 2015 TGPA-ZOU Project EIR, will be utilized by the County as the environmental clearance for the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance Major Amendments project in accordance with Sections 15162 and 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Visit Art on the Divide Cooperative Gallery Criss Raintree Art on the Divide

he Art on the Divide Cooperative Gallery is open, welcoming visitors who are asked to be respectful of social distancing and wear a mask while inside. Hand sanitizer will be available for use if visitors want to handle the art. AODC Gallery artists have been busy creating new art and this month the gallery showcases a few of those pieces. If you ask an artist, they can probably tell you what inspires their art. Most will have a story to tell. Victor Larson, a wood crafter who created a black acacia tray, said, “The challenge was what to do with short little pieces of hard to machine gnarly wood to showcase its unique figure. “So the design is based on the stock at hand and character of the wood. This is a

case where the material dictates its use. “Black acacia was introduced to California around the late 1800s from Australia, where it is known as Tasmanian black wood,” he continued. “It’s a close cousin to Hawaiian koa and when quarter-sawn is favored by guitar makers.” The gallery has a large selection of fine art as well as jewelry and other smaller pieces perfect for gift giving. There is also a large selection of art cards that purchasers can write personal sentiments in before giving to someone special. Modified hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday. AODC is located in one of Georgetown’s historical buildings at 6295 Main St., between the fire station and the American River Inn. The gallery’s phone number is (530) 3332787.

Sure, but Disney has to recoup its more than a quarter-billion-dollar investment (when you add marketing). I’ll give it a try.
