Charges filed in Tahoe murder Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Murder charges have been filed in the 2019 death of a South Lake Tahoe man. The El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against Alan Isaias MartinezPerez, 24, a suspect in the Dec. 15, 2019, death of Jorge Campos, officials announced Thursday. The South Lake Tahoe Police Department also arrested Shannon Cecilia Simpson, 26, for reportedly being an accessory to the murder after the fact, states a press release. The arrests were the culmination of a 20-month investigation by both agencies. South Lake Tahoe Police on Dec. 16, 2019, n

Draw your own district map Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Did you know that El Dorado County residents can draw their own redistricting map? Topics such as the redistricting process, the development of a virtual engagement hub and providing a way for residents to virtually “draw” their own maps were discussed at a second redistricting workshop held at the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting room in Placerville Aug. 3. Presenting information on El Dorado County’s redistricting process along with its new features were PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
Sara Doherty, Jose Crummett and Robyn Gingerich, members of the El Dorado County Geographic Information Systems Team, and Jennifer Franich, principle management analyst from the El Dorado County Chief Administrative Office. The U.S. Constitution requires a count of U.S. residents every 10 years and that data is used to redraw the county’s supervisorial district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. Boundaries are redrawn to ensure districts are substantially equal in population. El Dorado County’s redistricting team, which consists of the Chief Administrative Office, Surveyor’s Office and the GIS team, identified the three most important mapping factors — geographic contiguity, integrity of local communities of interest and integrity of cities or census-designated places. Certain rules are considered when drawing district boundaries. Lines cannot be drawn favoring a political party. Boundaries n

Connie Johnson
May 3, 1932 – July 2, 2021
Connie passed away at her niece’s home in Cool. A resident of Lake Oaks Mobile Home Park in Diamond Springs for over 27 years, Connie was born and raised in San Francisco, married Ralph Johnson, moved to San Jose (‘70s,) then Gilroy (‘80s.) Connie retired from AT&T after 30 years of service. In 1992, Connie and Ralph moved to Diamond Springs. For decades they enjoyed an active life with friends and neighbors in the park. She is survived by her son David Antonio Perez (Consuelo); granddaughter Lydia Perez (Davila); grandson David Paul Perez (Cori); great-grandson Ishmael Davila and great-granddaughter Paige Perez. Connie is also survived by two sisters Evelia Avigliano and Adele Sanchez McQuade, brothers-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral Services are entrusted to Chapel of the Hills, 1331 Lincoln Way, Auburn, CA 95603, (530) 8853773. Memorial services will be held Aug. 10.
Donna Mae Fleming June 9, 1947 – July 23, 2021
Donna Mae Fleming of Epping, N.H. passed away at 74 Friday, July 23 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. She was born on June 9, 1947 in Illinois to Anton “Tony” T. Schubert and Sylvia M. Rubringer/Schubert. She had one older brother who she adored, Douglass Schubert (Ginny), and often told stories of growing up on a farm and learning in a tiny one room schoolhouse. On June 29, 1973 Donna married the love of her life, John “Maui Jack” E. Fleming, where they met and lived in San Diego, Calif. In 1975 they had their only daughter, Amie. The family moved to Napa, Calif., and then to Pollock Pines, Calif. Donna had a career in veterinary medicine and then in human healthcare as an LVN. She traveled with her husband and daughter all over the country, as her husband was a traveling salesman. When he retired, they pursued a lifelong dream of moving to Maui, Hawaii. In 1989 they moved back to Pollock Pines and then to Placerville, Calif. In 2001, Donna and Jack moved across the country to Weare, N.H. to be close to their daughter and granddaughters. Donna lost her beloved “Maui Jack” in 2006 to a stroke. She stayed close to family and moved to Epping, N.H., in 2014. She is remembered dearly by her daughter, Amie J. Fleming Hardman and Amie’s husband Alexander and her granddaughters Jaedin C. Guldenstern, Jordyn P. Guldenstern and Isabella D. Hardman. Donna’s granddaughters smile at memories of sleepovers, homemade bread, treasure hunts, sun tea and jam with berries from her backyard. Donna had a lifelong love of caring for animals, and wove her passion into her relationships with her daughter and granddaughters. Donna and Amie enjoyed many years of equestrian events together, spending most weekends at the barn and traveling to horse shows. Later in her life, she volunteered at an animal shelter and also proudly had a bumper sticker that read “I love my granddogs” (Nairn, Skylie, Oliver, Bodie and Hazel) who loved her as much as she loved them. Even Tucker the cat would come out of hiding when Grandma came over to visit. Donna passed peacefully yet unexpectedly due to complications from a routine surgery. Amie and Alex were by Donna’s side and she was surrounded by family photos and letters. She will be missed dearly by those who knew and loved her. The family will hold an intimate celebration of life, at home on Aug. 15. An alternative to sending flowers, is to send donations in Donna’s memory to NEER, the New England Equine Rescue, in honor of her love of horses. neernorth.org/.
Four flumes due for rehabbing Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent
require some improvement. The existing boathouse will likely be demolished to make way for a mechanically stabilized engineered wall. Flume 47B is 128 feet long. More investigation is needed to design a direct access road to this flume section. The total for this design work is $503,268, which besides the GHD contract includes $110,000 for capitalized labor and $25,000 for professional services to support the environmental review. Staff has already done the biological survey during the key part of the season. Remaining are cultural resources surveys. All the wooden flume sections are deteriorating and the timber supports are undersized. EID’s flume maintenance crew has shored up the support structures. Each section must be drilled to examine the quality of the base material. Often the supporting material hides buried stumps and discarded flume timbers. There are also slides and upper banks that often need be logged, scaled and covered by anchored geotextiles.
Geotechnical engineering firm GHD Inc. was the qualified low bidder to prepare design services for four flume replacements that total 612 linear feet. For $368,268, GHD, which has previously performed extensive geotechnical service for the El Dorado Irrigation District, will design replacements for the four flume sections and design the access road for each. Flumes 45A, 46A, 47A and 47B will be built by EID’s in-house construction crews one flume each fall when the canal is shut down from October through December. Flume 45A is 155 feet long and “Some work would be required to get construction personnel and equipment to the site from Camp P Road,” according to GHD’s scope of work. Flume 46A is 128 feet long and can be reached via an improved access road to the existing canal bench and also from the end of a logging road. Flume 47A is 201 feet long and is accessed via John Roy’s Boathouse Road, which will

must comply with the U.S. and California Constitutions and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since the U.S. Census is releasing redistricting data for 2020 in Sept. 30, no proposed maps have been drawn yet but the redistricting team can collect information on communities of interest. Community members can define their own communities by telling their stories, describing concerns to policy makers and even drawing their own redistricting maps on the county website. The county has provided a tool, found on the county’s redistricting webpage, where residents can “draw” their own boundaries for their
respective community of interest. People looking to use this mapping tool will have a variety of variables to consider, including but not limited to: major and minor roads, supervisorial districts, school districts, community regions, lakes and rivers, water providers and more. Community submitted maps must show contiguous district lines (district boundaries cannot be separated), be as compact as possible and of equal population. In addition, residents can fill out an attribute survey or community of interest information form online to describe a community — location, geographic definers/boundaries,

EID Senior Engineer Cary Mutschler is overseeing this project. He is the lead engineer for canal projects and assisted on the Forebay Dam project. One of the three key geotechnical engineers from GHD in Cameron Park is David Jermstad, who has worked on complex EID flume replacement projects. The flume reconstruction projects with concrete flume sections will take place in the following order: Flume 45A in 2022, Flume 47A in 2023, Flume 47B in 2024 and Flume 46A in 2025. GHD’s proposed schedule has 50% design for all four flumes by Sept. 13, 75% design by Dec. 6 and 100% design by Jan. 17, 2022, and bid documents by March 29, 2022. That will allow enough time for approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission before the EID staff begins deconstructing the wooden flume section, a base is built and concrete flume sections are fabricated and placed.

Board Chairman John Hidahl weighed in as well, asking how use of the park might be encouraged year-round and not just in the summer. “There are things we can do in regards to use of the river, perhaps a fishery, there is a lot of potential here that is outstanding,” Hidahl said. “I’m leaning toward having a maximum number of RV sites, because those are yearround use.” Supervisors made a motion, approved unanimously, to direct staff to continue to work with the American River Conservancy, explore a concessionaire model and to support improvements that would bring camping to Chili Bar Park. The land has been owned by the county since 2007, when its ownership 275119 was transferred from the American River Conservancy, which still manages the park Supervisors will return to discuss Chili Bar and its management no later than Sept. 28.

supports river access. Future work could include improvements from some or all of the day-use and camping design options. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo and District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin showed support of the design that includes camping, citing potential revenue that could come in and that camping has become more desirable due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Parlin also addressed security problems in the area and suggested 24/7 security to keep crime to a minimum. She also noted a need for trails along that stretch of the river. “I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been there in the past few months and people pulled up and asked if there are any trails near by,” Parlin said. “That is a great opportunity I would love for us to explore.” District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel was also in support of camping options, adding that transient occupancy taxes should be applied to camping.

rebuilding an accessible patio, stabilization of an existing restroom/ laundry building and demolition of mobile home park infrastructure and a residence. The feasibility study concluded that the river access support option would cost $950,000 for construction and $210,000 for preconstruction, the least expensive option, with a low return on the investment.A second design, which creates a day-use area, would renovate restrooms, add a paved parking lot and picnic areas, as well as an accessible loop trail and improved stairs/ramps between the top and lower terraces. Construction costs are estimated at $2,245,000 to bring those dayuse amenities to Chili Bar Park, more than double the cost of just river access. Financial feasibility showed a poor return on investment but the project would be eligible for grant opportunities. A third design would support overnight camping at Chili Bar. There would be an on-site camp steward, high-end campsites, a group gathering area and potable water. This is the priciest option at more than $3 million in construction costs but with potential for a moderate return on the investment. Branston presented a “phasing” option to meet short-term needs of existing users, which would include implementing some or all of the design that just

Recall Gov. Newsom and keep the process
T
wo important topics previously addressed by this column are the propensity of progressives to change elections rules in order to tighten their grip on political power and the question of whether Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Jon Coupal performance in office warrants his removal via recall. As to the former, the last several legislative sessions are replete with examples of bills that seek to stack the deck in favor of progressives. Here are some of the highlights: • Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, has proposed a constitutional amendment that would flip the meaning of a “yes” vote in a referendum in a confusing manner designed to make referenda more difficult for voters. • Senate Constitutional Amendment 3 by state Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, would allow an officeholder subject to a recall election to also appear on the recall ballot as one of the replacements. This could result in the bizarre outcome of an elected official being recalled and reelected at the same time. • An effort by state budget officials to fast-track cost estimates required by law. Progressives openly bragged about this manipulation. State Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Contra Costa, wrote in a public tweet: “Best opportunity to beat this reckless recall of @ GavinNewsom is to have an early election ... No reason to delay and give opposition any more running room.” • A proposal that would give the target of a recall access to the names and addresses of everyone who signed the petition. Thankfully, this Orwellian proposal was too much even for the California Legislature and the bill was shelved. • An unconstitutional proposal that would ban paid signature gathering, which would only favor the wealthy and entrenched interests. As the above reveals, progressives have developed “changing the rules in the middle of the game” into an art form. But it appears they’re not done yet. No matter what the outcome of the recall election, the left will move quickly to curtail the power of recall. Secretary of State Shirley Weber, in a recent interview on CapRadio, claimed there are “some serious problems” with California’s recall laws and that the entire process deserves “a second look.” Among her complaints were the “low” signature requirement for qualification (as if getting 2 million signatures was easy), no limits on when a recall can take place and the fact that an alternative candidate can win with less than 50% of the vote. n

Letters to the Editor COVID, contagion and the human condition EDITOR:
W
ith the arrival of the delta variant, we seem to be stalled from recovery of the COVID-19 menace that we are all losing patience over. “Plagued” by this never-ending virus, I am reading Albert Camus’s novel, “The Plague.” Though a cautionary tale, at least in the novel, the pandemic ends. “He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned from books: that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good.” Struggling for survival from pandemic outbreaks has been with us since the beginning of civilization. In his novel, Camus dramatizes the human condition and notes that we are all in this together. Guided by principle alone, there are those who release themselves from personal responsibility and have nothing to do with concern for the well-being of others. There are many who choose to believe an outside force is to blame. Reactions to the virus such as denial, xenophobia, conspiracy theories and a distrust of vaccines divide us. In turning away from the human costs, there are people who become apathetic and resigned that the virus will kill others but not themselves. In “The Plague,” all the characters face the conflict between their individual happiness and obligations to other people. The truth is we are all vulnerable to loss and suffering. No one escapes. Let us work together and not apart to protect ourselves and our neighbors. LARA GULARTE Diamond Springs
The height of laziness EDITOR: ecently, a picture was posted on Facebook showing a garbage can at a parking lot in the forest surrounded by garbage. It speaks to a problem that does not just lay strewn around garbage cans in the forest. It is laying along our roads and highways in this county. Highway 50 is a classic, current example of pure laziness and disrespect for the county and for the people who live here. It is a disgrace to all of us.
R
When you live in it, I guess you get used to it and the smell. This cannot be thrown at the doorstep of the homeless or a bear. A lady recently spoke of the homeless camps and litter. The homeless bring in their needs and leave them on the ground because it is an effort to take it back out — an attitude just like the people in cars ... just toss it out the window. The homeless trash can be cleaned up if the county would put in a dumpster and have it collected as needed, instead of “buying the next best thing.” The trash along our roads and highways is not as easy. Stiffer fines for littering need to be put in place to help cover the cost of clean up. Say $10,000 first offense and that goes up with proof of ownership or a reliable witness to the littering — maybe by cell phone with a reward.

News sources EDITOR: o George Alger: Regarding your “Letter on Trump” in the Aug. 2 Mountain Democrat, you seem overly critical of Nelson Enos’ letter for not citing specific examples of Trump’s lies. Oh, George, if you need examples of Trump’s lies, either you haven’t been paying attention or your news sources have failed you. Either way, it’s up to you to make the changes needed to become better informed. You can start with an internet search for “news bias charts.” The chart choices are generally the same so it won’t matter much which chart you pick. If you’re truly looking for truthful, unbiased news sources in lieu of entertainment, pick two or three from the top and center of the chart then utilize the selected sources exclusively for a period of three to six months. At the end of the trial period, I predict that your life will be much less stressful, America won’t be as divisive and you and guys like John Garon won’t see the need to fill the pages of the Mountain Democrat with your unsolicited wisdom. Good luck. BILL MOSACK Placerville

40% in the last two months. The price of other goods has also gone up. Some supermarket chains are filling their warehouses now to avoid price increases in the coming months. And the federal government has the audacity to tell us the rate of inflation for the month of June 2021 was only 5.4% year over year? Yeah, sure. The producer price index (wholesale), however, was up even more at 7.3% year over year. In actual numbers, used car prices were up 10.5% in June after a 10% rise in April and a 7.5% rise in May. That’s huge — 28% in just three months. Food and energy were up .8% and 1.5%, respectively, month over month. This is in just one month. And now the feds are going to print (borrow) more money and give it to selected taxpayers. All this means the 6% claimed GDP growth has all but been eaten up by inflation. Real GDP growth is zero. You may hear that the current administration will raise corporate taxes. Yeah, the rich corporations will pay — another government attempt to reverse the laws of economics. Those new taxes will get tacked onto retail prices and guess who will pay the bill?
That’s right, the very people getting the free handout. It will not benefit anyone and it will hurt everyone with more inflation. Because our national debt is nearly $30 trillion, there is a huge interest cost to carry this debt. That’s possible now because of unprecedented low interest rates. That’s why savings accounts pay a quarter of a percent. But interest rates will rise as the federal demand for money increases to fund these targeted, vote-buying giveaways. And if they go up even ½ of a percent, the cost of the debt burden increases by $150 billion annually or near the entire cost of the giveaway. And the $150 billion never ends. In fact, if interest rates rise just 1%, the new interest burden will exceed the original benefit and it continues indefinitely. The fed “solution” is to print more money, further diluting the money supply and a further devaluing the dollar. Interest rates will have to rise just to make up for the dollar dilution. How quickly we forget the inflation in post-World War I Germany, where

With all due respect to our secretary of state, it appears she has a problem with democracy. Similar complaints were raised by long-time Democratic operative Garry South, who wants four big changes that would all but destroy the people’s ability to use the recall. First, like Weber, he wants a higher signature threshold at 20% to replace the current 12% minimum. He also advocates that a recall should only be allowed for specific “for cause” reasons. (Because corruption and incompetence aren’t good enough?). He also thinks recall proponents should be required to get signatures from at least 25% voters of the same party as the target of the recall and that the filing fee should be raised above the current $4,000. All these proposals are, of course, intended to ensure that no Democratic governor will ever be the subject of a future recall election. We find it odd that all these complaints about the recall process from progressives were never asserted
Weitzman
in Wisconsin when they tried, and failed, to take out Gov. Scott Walker. In 2012 Democrats around the nation were big fans of the people’s right to recall. Funny how things change. Finally, getting to the substantive issue of the recall itself, back in May we noted that the grounds for recalling Gov. Newsom were growing. Regrettably, the list of particulars against the governor keeps expanding. In fact, proponents of the recall have identified more than 50 ways Newsom has failed to keep faith with the citizens of this state. For taxpayers, these reasons can be distilled into one sad truth: Gov. Newsom has completely abandoned California’s middle class. For that core reason, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Political Action Committee recently announced that we support the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Mountain Democrat photos by Thomas Frey
Union Mine head coach Matt Ray, left photo, gives instructions during an August practice. Ray also serves as the school’s athletic director and has more than 100 career wins in previous head coaching jobs at East Nicolaus and Antelope. Senior left tackle Jaxon King, above, works on technique with the Diamondbacks offensive and defensive line.
UM heads into ’21 revamped with new coach Thomas Frey Staff writer The sound of players slow clapping as a unit before beginning practice reverberated around the Union Mine High School stadium. They were clapping as one with a purpose, and from outside the stadium it was as loud as if a sold-out crowd was cheering on another Calvin Owens game-winning touchdown. Does that get the team pumped up and ready to practice? “Definitely,” said senior 6-foot, 8-inch, 290-pound left tackle and team captain Jaxon King, who is ready for his fourth varsity season to begin Aug.
20. It’s Matt Ray’s first season as the head coach at Union Mine and his practice methods have struck the right chords with the Diamondback team. “A lot more people are dedicated and ready to get with the program and work as a team to move forward,” said senior running back and defensive end Parker Mallott, one of 43 varsity players. Matt Ray — who won more than 100 games at East Nicolaus and Antelope — developed a detailed weightlifting program while building a family atmosphere in the program. “When you’re part of a football program,
you’re part of the tradition,” Ray said. “There are building blocks and foundations of kids that have come before us, so we represent a lot more than just our individual time period here. We represent kids who have come before us and come after us.” Ray immediately put together a coaching staff with a plethora of head coaching experience — new defensive coordinator Kirk Anderson and former Union Mine head coaches Jake Bist and Taylor Duncan, who coach the offensive and defensive lines. “It’s been great having (Coach Duncan) back since I’ve (been training
with him) for the past three years,” said King, who has been named All-League each of those years. “I was thrilled. He has really good experience and he has a lot of knowledge.” The offensive line known as “The Hogs” returns three starters in King, Alijah Smith and John Murphy while more have game experience from last season. “I think they kind of look at themselves as a unified fist,” Ray said. “They don’t really seem to have big egos. It’s about what can we do for the team to be successful.” The three returning starters all spent time at college camps this summer. King went to camps at the University of California, Berkeley; California State University, Fresno; Utah State; and California State University, Sacramento. Smith and Murphy joined King in Fresno and Sacramento in addition to training at
national camps, among others. At Union Mine this year, they are paving the way for a team learning a new playbook. “We’ve switched around our whole entire offense and it’s coming along pretty nice and quick,” Smith said. “I want to help my running backs rush for over 1,000 yards.” Having 1,000-yard rushers isn’t something new to Ray. At Antelope he had Elijah Dotson, who rushed for 3,928 career yards in high school before becoming a 2019 second team All American at Sacramento State. Last season’s leading rusher for Union Mine was quarterback Calvin Owens, who rushed for 344 yards in four games, including a 29-yard, game-winning touchdown run with less than a minute to play in a 23-20 win over Burbank. “I think Calvin is a breath of fresh air; his advantage is that
he’s just unbelievably explosive, unbelievably athletic,” Ray said. “He has done a really good job of assimilating into the new scheme.” Owens, now a senior, had 500 passing yards last season and he is taking advantage of every practice snap he has been given after last season was greatly shortened. “Anything can be taken away from you in a second and you’ve got to cherish every moment and take advantage of every moment because it could be taken away as soon as it was given to you,” Owens said. Nicholas Conant, Joe Repass, Mason Matlack and Payton Powell will be receiving this year and they all saw time on both sides of the ball last season. In the first game last season Repass had five pass deflections at cornerback. Repass could also be in line for kicking duties. In the ■

Educational success is possible with creativity and work. Home-schooling materials are available through a number of sources.

Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe celebrates 30th year

n SPEED BUMP by Dave Coverly
On Aug. 1, 1991, the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe was officially recognized as a nonprofit, charitable organization and has been serving the children and families of the community since. The club recently celebrated 30 years of benefitting the South Shore with a combined summer party and birthday party including bounce houses, cupcakes and guests of honor Lisa Maloff (the Angel of Tahoe) and founding board members of the club. “The club has risen to many challenges over its history” said Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe Executive Director Jude Wood, “and the past 18 months have shown just how vital the club is for our children and the community.” Over the course of the pandemic the club strove to be there for its members and working families, providing more than 600 hours of online school support, 15,000 free meals and 21,000-plus hours of child care. “We are so proud of the role that the club has in our community” said club President Terri Arnold, “and so excited that in this, our 30th year, we are finally going to have a home of
our own.” The Boys and Girls Club building is being constructed at the Al Tahoe site and will provide the club with a permanent home — something the club has dreamed of since the start. The club broke ground in June 2020, thanks to a $3 million donation from Maloff. The full cost of construction is $6.9 million and the club has been working hard to raise the additional funding. One of the club’s founders, Jeff Tillman, has been working on behalf of the club to get a building for 30 years. “It is so exciting to see our dream become a reality and to ensure that there will be a club in this community for generations to come” Tillman said. “Many incredible businesses, individuals and foundations have helped us get to this point and we are confident that our community will come together and ensure we can open those doors.” Any business or individual interested in being a donor to the building campaign should contact Wood at (530) 542-0838 or jwood@ bgclt.org. Individuals looking to support the work of the club, including scholarships and meals, can visit bgclt.org and click on the donate button.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll pick up a new skill. There’s no luck involved here — only well-directed attention. Imitate the master. Follow directions, then practice until you own it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have choices to make and actions to take on your way to solving a problem. If you consult everyone along the way, it will get complicated. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Unless you’re getting paid for your opinion, there’s no need to offer criticism. Don’t take offense where none was given. Follow these two rules and you’ll grow in power and influence. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will express themselves in confusing ways. You’ll feel as though you’re watching an art film — creatively inspired as you try to piece together the meaning. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To avoid being a target for the slings of other people’s jealousy and the arrows of their insecurity, don’t display your talents too broadly. Choose your audience carefully and show them just enough. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even though all people are created equal, it would be perilous to ignore — and auspicious to respect — the status structures by which the tribe of humanity operates.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Gather the pertinent information. There’s much going on inside the minds of others that won’t be verbalized, though with sensitivity, you can pick up on it and respond accordingly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mistakes were made. Enough time has passed for feelings to cool and settle. The world is full of second chances, which generally go to those with the guts to ask for them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No one understands the issue as well as you do. Explain to people who have reason to care. Matching your message to the audience is an art. If you don’t get it right, keep trying. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships change form though the love itself is neither the same nor different. There’s a blossoming when the conditions invite openness and, under colder conditions, the relationship folds into itself and waits. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You organize like a pro, prioritize like a genius and quickly understand what it will take to get to the goal. These talents of yours are highly sought after — though most pleasingly applied to your own projects. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t shrink from an intimidating challenge. Gather information instead. When you understand the nature of a thing, it will liberate you from your fear of it. You’ll feel empowered to interact and gain higher levels of experience.

Tahoe competition announces top three playwrights News release SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The winning playwrights for Valhalla’s 2021 1-Act Play Competition have been announced and will all attend this year’s WordWave reading Sept. 11 in the Boathouse Theatre. The audience will have a chance to meet the winners and ask them questions about the plays and their writing processes. With time on their hands and the creative energy flowing, more than 100 playwrights submitted fresh works for consideration. From the entries, local thespians and directors picked three plays to be read for the first time in Lake Tahoe.
“Out, Damn COVID Audition” by Susan Boulanger Gayle and Darcie are two local theater actresses who have been out of work for over a year-and-a-half during the COVID-19 pandemic. Darcie has invited herself over supposedly for some long-awaited girl-time with Gayle. It doesn’t take long for Gayle to realize that Darcie has invaded her treasured respite just to have

“Big Top Love” by Nicole DeSalle DeSalle explores the motivations behind dreams through the experiences of Travis and Lydia, who meet at a Chicago café and learn they both are seeking thrills they hope will bring joy to their lives.

Curricula Parents on this path get to choose the textbooks their children will learn from. One advantage to this — you get to see what’s inside before you buy it. Does this text reflect your values? Does it contain the material you want your child to master? Two of the most popular curriculum providers are A Beka Book (abeka.com) and Bob Jones University (bjupresshomeschool.com). There are many others. You can find these online, at home school conferences and through networking groups. No time? Check out the video curricula offered by these two providers. These are not Zoom meetings. I used video home school very successfully during the 1990s and 2000s. You can, too. Also good to know: You can purchase any book to supplement your child’s public school education. No one said you can’t tutor them at home in American history.
What about socialization? Home educators can pivot to meet educational needs, as well as physical and social educational needs. In the era of COVID, where the rules change on a monthly basis, this is important. The question I was asked most often was: What about socialization? Wouldn’t your daughter be happier at public school? My answer was: Why would I want to limit the number of her friends? She had dozens of social contacts throughout the region because of home education. Physical education, scouting and camp options abound. P.E. can be swimming for a local team, such as the EDH Taz or the Sierra Sharks recreation swim teams, during the spring and summer. Fall and winter swim clinics are offered by USA Swim teams, such as the Sierra Marlins. Another popular option with home education families is skating. Skatetown in Roseville offers lessons in figure skating and hockey. Other families participate in AYSO, basketball and other sports. Local community services districts offer day camps, classes and other activities. Plan to take advantage of these between potential outbreaks of lockdowns. Families can team up for “pod” educational experiences. The Sacramento Christian Organization of Parent Educators (scopehome. org) offers chat groups, events and field trips to its members. Groups like SCOPE often offer
Art of options The key to education is to “work with the wiggle.” There is a reason recess is the most popular subject in every school. Kids need to blow off steam. So do teachers. And you will be amazed how much a kid can learn making mud pies in the backyard. I taught my little brother how to count with a trowel, sand and a bucket. Does home education work? I think it can. George Washington, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were all educated at home. My own child went on to attend a well-known, private high school, then a private East Coast university. She is now a private tutor for multiple students in New Jersey. Even before COVID, the reality was that life is rarely stable. That remains true. Knowing that you have options in education puts the power back in your corner. And the kids will be all right. Bring on those art projects. Send your event for consideration in Susan’s column to slaird@handywriting.com.

reality from delusion, Sarah searches for answers that will profoundly impact herself and the future of her students. The women painstakingly unearth the truth, forcing the audience to confront a chilling threat from which no one is immune. Intense and powerful, this drama delves into one of the most compelling issues of the time. The story deftly navigates through trust, selflessness, leadership and how to let go when faced with the inevitable. McDonough’s dramedy “Joint Chiefs” won the playwriting competition in 2016 and received its premiere production the following year at Lake Tahoe Community College’s Duke Theatre. “Valhalla Tahoe is so excited to present these fresh plays that explore the joy, pain and unique dynamic of the time we’re living and creating in,” said Michelle Morton, executive director of Valhalla Tahoe. The underlying principle of WordWave is that stories — in song, theater, oral tradition and books — change lives. WordWave provides a venue for locals and visitors to share their stories and validate their creativity.
