Herbicides on target at Tahoe Keys Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Initial observations of the aquatic invasive species control methods test at Tahoe Keys shows promise but the test is far from over. The methods test, which will take place over three years, is two months under way. Scientists are testing several different methods to knock-back aquatic invasive species such as non-native pondweed and Eurasian milfoil. Applications of herbicides began May 25 and wrapped up May 31, the same day UV light treatments began. “Initial observations are encouraging,” said Dr. Lars Anderson, lead scientist. There were two different herbicides applied and, Anderson said, so far they’ve seen a reduction of target plants and minimal effects on native species. As per permit conditions, extensive monitoring has been ongoing since the start of the test. During a presentation to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board, Aquatic Resources Program Manager Dennis Zabaglo said the large wind events at the end of May did cause a trace amount of herbicides to be detected on the wrong side of the turbidity curtains, which were set up where herbicide testing was taking place. The contingency plan was immediately put in action, including Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association divers diving down to repair the curtain. Additional monitoring took place at multiple locations closer to the channel and lake and no additional herbicides were detected. “Our plan worked as we intended it to and nothing got close to reaching the lake,” Zabaglo told the board. Waterways have been closed to Tahoe n

Crosswalks are closed and traffic restricted to right turns only at Spring Street/ Highway 49 and Highway 50 as the Trip to Green experiment to reduce congestion rolled out Saturday and Sunday.

Trip to Green test vexes some, impresses others Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer This past weekend’s Trip to Green experiment, while confounding some, went off without a hitch, according to officials in charge of the pilot project. On Saturday and Sunday Highway 50 traffic lights through Downtown Placerville were set to green from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. North and southbound travel across the highway at Canal Street, Spring Street and Bedford Avenue was closed, diverting local traffic to Mosquito Road or Placerville Drive. Right-hand turns onto and off Highway 50 remained available at Spring and Bedford. Detour and closure signs placed around town directed drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

the convenience of our homes and Valerie Rondone has added another service to that list with El Dorado Imaging, which brings X-ray capabilities right through the front door. After years of working in the corporate medical world, Rondone said she had the idea to create a more “patient-focused” business that brings much-needed imaging technology to the homes of people who have difficulty making their way to a hospital or imaging center. “(I thought) I’m gonna take the corporate out of it and I’m going to do it individually and try to make it happen. That way, patients get

the care they need at an affordable price,” she explained. “They don’t have that huge burden of having to be transported to an imaging center and having then to pay this bill for imaging and then (hear), ‘Oh, it was nothing.’” El Dorado Imaging is extremely convenient to the differently abled who might have physical or mental trouble traveling outside their homes. The company accepts Medicare insurance and Rondone said she’s working to eventually accepting Medi-Cal and possibly private insurance. She also hopes to expand her services

$40 million to boost rural high-speed internet access News release U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack last week announced that the department is investing more than $40 million to provide access to highspeed internet for rural residents and businesses in California, part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to investing in rural infrastructure and affordable high-speed internet for all. This announcement includes a group of investments from the ReConnect Program, and an award funded through USDA’s telecommunications infrastructure loan and loan guarantee program. “We are honored to announce investments to increase access for high-speed internet in communities across the Central Valley,” said Maria Gallegos-Herrera, USDA Rural Development California state director. “Many rural communities have historically lacked reliable and affordable internet service. Historic wildfires and the impacts of the pandemic have further

Trip to Green enforcement agency on the project, had an officer assigned to support the program. Placerville Police Chief Joseph Wren said the program seemed to go smoothly. “There were really no issues this weekend,” he said. “No collisions, no speed enforcement issues.” Some residents did, however, try to supersede roadblocks. “Some people didn’t obey the cones but other than taking an education position we really didn’t do a whole lot of enforcement,” Wren noted. The overall traffic flow was light for this first weekend, which made for a smooth rollout of the program. In fact, traffic was light enough for the lights to return to normal operation early each evening. According to some Placerville residents who shared their Trip to Green experience on social media, downtown foot traffic was business as usual with locals and tourists alike patronizing downtown businesses. Others felt the program hindered access to downtown shops, cutting into locals’ livelihoods and consequently city tax dollars. Tony Windle, owner of T.W. Bonkers Toy and Candy Emporium on Main Street, said it was hard to tell if the experiment hampered foot traffic on Main Street. “Foot traffic seemed OK,” he said. “However, many of my Main Street neighbors experienced their worst sales weekends ever.” Windle was not a supporter of the program from the start. “I’ve been skeptical of it since it was announced a couple years ago.” Top of mind for Windle is the possible loss of tourists who may not have stopped in town without the changing lights slowing traffic, presenting Main Street and other commercial corridors as inviting respites for the weary traveler. Max Swischuk at Timmy’s Brown Bag, a unique Main Street sandwich shop that is popular with tourists,

worsened these inequities. Today marks a significant step toward addressing these long-standing and recently exacerbated needs in rural communities. While we have more work ahead in meeting these challenges, we celebrate the progress this new round of investments promises in closing the digital divide.” The department will make additional investments for rural high-speed internet later this summer, including ReConnect Program funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provides a $65 billion investment to expand affordable, high-speed internet to all communities across the U.S. “Connectivity is critical to economic success in rural America,” Vilsack said. “The internet is vital to our growth and continues to act as a catalyst for our prosperity. From the farm to the school, from households to international markets, connectivity drives positive change in our communities. The investments I am announcing today will help 31,000 people and businesses in large and diverse regions across the country access

new and critical opportunities.” Locally the federal funds will come as a loan of more than $28 million awarded to the Volcano Telephone Company. This rural development investment will be used to help the Volcano Telephone Company deploy a fiber-to-the-home network. This network will connect 5,191 people, 119 businesses, seven educational facilities and 15 farms in Alpine, Amador, Calavares and El Dorado counties.

ReConnect Program

To be eligible for ReConnect Program funding, an applicant must serve an area where highspeed internet service speeds are lower than 100 megabits per second (Mbps) (download) and 20 Mbps (upload). The applicant must also commit to building facilities capable of providing high-speed internet service at speeds of 100 Mbps (download and upload) to every location in its proposed service area.

SLEEP APNEA LINKED TO TEETH GRINDING Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder in which a person repeatedly pauses or stops breathing. People with sleep apnea have higher rates of teeth grinding, and recent studies have shown that sleep apnea actually causes teeth grinding in some patients. Teeth grinding during sleep may also be caused by stress, anxiety, an abnormal bite, and missing or crooked teeth. Over time, teeth grinding can wear teeth down, loosen them, damage the jawbone, and cause tooth loss. Not sure if you’re a teeth grinder? Your dentist can look for signs such as jaw tenderness and excessive wear of the teeth. A dentist can also fit sleep apnea patients with a mouth guard that protects teeth

Powell’s Steamer Co. and Pub management commented on social media that their eatery “suffered badly from one of the slowest Saturdays we’ve had in a long time.” The El Dorado County Transportation Commission was the lead agency working with the city of Placerville and Caltrans District 3. Executive Director Woodrow Deloria said he felt like the rollout was a success. “We are so pleased with how smoothly this first Trip to Green weekend went,” he said. “We are so grateful for the cooperation of local residents, as well as Caltrans and law enforcement, and look for even better results over Labor Day weekend.” Since 1989 congestion on Highway 50 has been an increasing concern in the Placerville area. In 1996 Caltrans considered road widening, flyover ramps and grade separations to improve traffic flow. Placerville residents ultimately rejected these ideas. In 2002 some improvements were approved, including connecting Placerville Drive to Main Street and adding auxiliary lanes that were constructed in 2008. Over the next decade, several studies were conducted to address the issue. Caltrans also continued to tweak traffic light timing to

Pedestrians make a run for it across Spring Street/Highway 49. improve flow to little or no avail. The Highway 50 Hot Spot Study was launched in 2019 by the El Dorado County Transportation Commission, Caltrans and the city of Placerville to identify strategies to relieve congestion during peak travel times. This study presented four alternatives to relieve traffic stress — adding a third lane, elevated toll lanes, elevating the entire freeway or widening the freeway and eliminating left-hand turns. These alternatives came in at price ranges from $150 million to $350 million. Trip to Green is a proof of concept pilot project conceived from this study. Considering the proposed costs of the Hot Spot Study alternatives, Trip to Green seeks to determine if lower cost and less intrusive methods might accomplish the same goal of keeping traffic flowing and preventing overflow onto local roads. The data gathered during the project, along with resident and business

owner feedback will help to inform the EDCTC, Caltrans and the city of Placerville whether any permanent bypass solutions would be worth exploring. Initiating the project in the comparatively low traffic season of early August gave the team an opportunity to better understand traffic patterns under these conditions and bring those lessons into the next two proposed weekends. Labor Day weekend Sept. 3-5 will present more traffic to manage and Oct. 1-2 will represent the heavier traffic flow the project seeks to relieve. For regularly updated information, including detailed detour maps visit edctc.org/trip-togreen. Public and input from local business owners is encouraged. A follow-up survey will be available after the completion of the pilot project in October. For questions about Trip to Green call the project hotline at (530) 323-9668 or send an email to US50TriptoGreen@ gmail.com.

California Matters

Can Newsom finally win the long Delta water conflict?

ill the fifth time be the charm for California’s decadeslong effort to replumb the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta so that more Northern California water can be transported to Southern California? DAN WALTERS Don’t count on it. The state Department of Water Resources recently released a draft environmental impact report on the latest iteration of the 57-year-long effort to change the Delta’s role in water supply, a 45-mile-long tunnel officially named the “Delta Conveyance.” The 3,000-page document immediately drew the responses that have accompanied past versions — big municipal and agricultural water agencies were in favor of it because it would, they hope, increase water deliveries south of the Delta and environmentalists were California Gov. against it, saying it would Gavin Newsom further damage the Delta’s is trying to already bruised ecosystem. That fundamental succeed where conflict has tied up the his predecessors project in its various have failed, forms ever since it was first proposed in 1965 as building a project a “peripheral canal” to to replumb the complete the California Sacramento-San Water Project. The CWP is primarily Joaquin Delta. a massive dam on the Feather River whose reservoir feeds water into the Sacramento River and the California Aqueduct, which pulls water out of the southern edge of the Delta for shipment southward. They were still under construction when the peripheral canal was proposed and without it, water managers said, the CWP could not deliver on its promises to downstate water agencies. The canal would have diverted water out of the Sacramento River south of Sacramento and carried it 43 miles around the Delta to the head of the California Aqueduct near Tracy. Pat Brown, the CWP’s political champion, was still governor when the canal was first proposed and his son, Jerry, took up the cause upon becoming governor a decade later. The younger Brown pushed hard for legislative approval of the project, arguing that it would improve the Delta habitat by avoiding the negative effects on flows caused by the California Aqueduct’s massive pumps. Twisting arms and promising public works projects for holdout legislators, Brown finally won approval of a peripheral canal bill, only to see it repealed in a 1982 referendum. Environmental groups formed a strange

Letters to the Editor Thank you, Station 19 EDITOR: couts BSA Troop 460 would like to extend a hearty “thank you!” to El Dorado County Fire Station 19 in Pleasant Valley. Station 19 generously hosts the Pleasant Valley 4th of July celebration every year, which includes setting up our beloved dunk tank to the delight of small kids and Scouts alike. This year the firefighters noticed that our dunk tank had a leaky valve and took it upon themselves to purchase necessary parts and fix the leaky valve, for which they would accept no compensation, other than our gratitude. This is just one more reason to be thankful for living in an area where friends, neighbors and organizations make contributions, small and large, that make Pleasant Valley a great place to live. SANDRA McGINNIS Placerville

Major mistakes on homeless camp EDITOR: ou just can’t make this stuff up. The board gets close to approving a homeless camp and has to start over because Supervisor Wendy Thomas forgot that she owns a number of properties on Broadway but didn’t recuse herself. But that’s only one problem. Next the supervisors want to place this homeless camp on Perks Court leading onto Missouri Flat Road. A member of the Diamond Springs Fire Board testified that there are already too many automobile vs. pedestrian accidents on Missouri Flat. How many homeless being hit will be enough? We know the property is an old gas station/auto repair facility. Steel gas tanks are buried in ground and will need to be mitigated as a EPA cleanup site (unless it becomes a Super Site). How many millions will have to be spent to clean it up? Not to mention the roads that would have to be improved. This project was suppose to be finished before this year’s fire season started. Missed that one! The sheriff has proposed using the property next to the jail, putting in tiny homes (6-foot by 10 foot — suggested by Supervisor George Turnboo). The homeless have testified before the Human Rights Commission that their main concern is safety from rape, theft and beatings. Cold and hunger came after that. The Health and Human Services assistant director thinks his “clients” won’t be

comfortable being so close to the jail. Really. Using Volunteers of America as the supervising agency is good but putting them at such a disadvantage as being responsible for pedestrian safety when their clients are off campus and maybe using drugs or alcohol is ridiculous. And let’s not forget the safety of the kids at Herbert Green Elementary School just down the street. VOA should insist that this center be placed by the EDC jail for the safety of their clients. STEVE FERRY El Dorado Hills

Enough with the rhetoric and misinformation EDITOR: redictably, it is the beginning of August and the approved and funded shelter for the unhoused, which was supposed to be up and running by fire season, is stuck in the cog of politics and misinformation. I work with the unhoused in the community and the loss of the Pathways Winter shelter and Room Key project have been devastating. The one shining light was the promise of a 60-bed shelter with a navigation center. Unfortunately, Supervisor George Turnboo remains stuck on the Hostess concept proposed by past Sheriff John D’Agostini with the full knowledge that this is not a viable option. The taxpayers’ association would have you believe if you do nothing, the homeless population will magically disappear because there are no services. When the truth is, no homeless services are provided in the county without proof of residency; this has been their home. I am a coordinated entry specialist in the county, so I know this for a fact. At the recent county fair a woman from the Republican booth made it her personal mission to go out into the aisles and share her uninformed opinion about the homeless problem in our county. Only to be asked, “Have you actually ever met a homeless person?” Not surprisingly, the answer was no. If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with B.S. This county has close to a 4,000-unit housing shortage with 3.8% rental availability and the two proposed affordable housing projects have not broken ground. Due to the current economic

It’s certainly a little easier to try to climb back up the mountain at the age of 35 than at 65, but to some extent you can if you have the will and physical ability to do so. either quit or dramatically change gears. You don’t feel like standing and teaching a class another 10 years. You can’t go back into the coal mine another five years. You’ve stood in the assembly line for 35 or 40 years and you are done. There is nothing wrong with withdrawing from one life you enjoyed and resetting to do something else. This could simply be fishing, golf, traveling, walking by the river or local lake or sleeping late every morning and enjoying your coffee late in the day. There’s nothing wrong with that. The old Apostle Paul had been through a lot in his life — shipwrecked, stoned and left for dead, escaped being murdered, whipped cruelly and placed in a jail cell. His life was often far less than glamorous. He once said, “Let us not get tired of well-doing; we will reap a harvest if

we don’t quit.” Many years ago, a friend of mine restarted his life at the age of 50. He had nothing to show for his years of work and life. Old age was looking grim. He and his wife found an old abandoned hamburger stand in a small town. He rented the building for almost nothing and cleaned it up and he and his wife worked 12 hours a day for the next 17 years and he retired with a couple million dollars in the bank. Even this would be out of reach for many today but, keep in mind, that if you have the mental wherewithal to think it and the physical stamina to put it into action, you can reset your life and try again. Your current normal doesn’t have to be forever, if you don’t quit. Dr. Glenn Mollette is a syndicated columnist published in all 50 states.

bedfellows alliance with big agribusiness interests, which believed the canal would not deliver enough water, on the successful campaign to reject the project. The two Republican governors who followed, George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson, made fitful efforts on alternatives, such as a “through-Delta” canal or agreements that would deliver more water while improving the Delta’s habitat. Those efforts failed and the Democrat who succeeded Wilson, Gray Davis, clearly didn’t want to touch the issue — having witnessed the conflict up close as Jerry Brown’s chief of staff. However, after Davis was recalled in 2003, Republican successor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave it a new try, working out a scheme to replace the peripheral canal with twin tunnels that, at least on paper, could be built without legislative or voter approval. Jerry Brown inherited the twin tunnel plan when he returned for another stint as governor in 2011 but couldn’t get it done before departing. Immediately upon becoming governor in 2019, Newsom tossed out the twin tunnels in favor of a single one, thereby setting the stage for the recent action. “The governor is committed to getting this project essentially in a place where it’s getting built

by the end of this administration,” Wade Crowfoot, Newsom’s resources secretary, said. Fat chance. The project still has a lot of blanks to be filled, including a cost estimate, a list of water agencies willing to commit to repaying bonds to build it and a potentially infinite number of legal challenges from opponents. It also has 57 years of history to overcome. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

There is a network of skilled advocates throughout the county at the ready. So, enough with the politics and the misinformation. Failure to move forward now will have devastating consequences.

Keys homeowners during the test, and while they were scheduled to reopen in late-July, the reopening date has been delayed until Aug. 19. “The levels of herbicides are taking longer than expected to become undetected,” Anderson said. However, he said the levels are getting lower so things are looking promising. The UV light testing will continue, likely into October. Following the completion of the first year of testing Anderson said he is excited about the amount of data they will have available. The herbicides are only being applied the first year, so no more herbicides will be applied during the remaining two years of the test. The League to Save Lake Tahoe, which is one of the sponsors of the test, has been keeping an eye on progress of the test as well. “Much has been accomplished in the Tahoe Keys Control Methods test in a short amount of time,” said Jesse Patterson from the league, who has been deeply involved in controlling aquatic weeds in the Tahoe Keys for the past decade. “There have been bumps in the road, but that’s to be expected with any test. Each challenge is an opportunity to learn and improve, so the long-term plan to control aquatic invasive weeds in Tahoe is the best it can be. The League will stay engaged through the test’s three-year timeline.” To keep track of progress of the test visit keysweedsmanagement.org/cmt-project.

Rondone said she delights in the opportunity to meet new patients and work with them in ways that best suit their needs. While Rondone started her business about two years ago, she was only able to start operating in March 2022, explaining that it took 18 months to get approval through Medicare. Even though it took a while to cut through all the red tape, Rondone said she sees a greater need than ever for her services in a post COVID-19 world. In the 1940s doctors making house calls were extremely common; that trend tapered off in the ’60s. Rondone said she thinks it’s time the practice is reinvigorated. “I think that those who are sick should not be leaving their home,” she told the Mountain Democrat. “And then in a post-pandemic world the services should be coming to your home to make sure … you’re still on the right track.” For more information about El Dorado Imaging call (916) 715-7374 or visit eldoradoimaging.com.

Sugarloaf campers are eager to start their artistic journey. Campers can study art, drama, photography, dance, singing and audio engineering.

learn & grow Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp students

Dina Gentry EDC Office of Education

t the Sly Park Environmental Education Center in Pollock Pines, students gather in groups — some with instruments and scripts in hand while others preparing for a hike. This can only mean one thing: Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp is back for its 62nd season. And with the 2021 camp held at Union Mine High School, campers and staff members alike were eager to get back up to the Sierra Nevada foothills where the pine trees are a welcoming sight. The sights go beyond nature because at Sugarloaf, you’ll see and hear orchestra music played by kids wearing tennis shoes and backward hats and scripted conversations playing out by drama students on the basketball courts. Most importantly, you’ll see and hear engrossed students and engaged staff. What started out as just a music camp has become a program where students studying disciplines like art, drama, photography, dance, singing and audio engineering can learn skills in their desired discipline and create meaningful connections. This year’s camp served nearly 300 students through two sessions, each running for one week. Every day is comprised of six hours of instruction, with an afternoon involving leisure time and organized recreational activities. At days end everyone gathers around to sing and share talents. At the end of the week students present what they’ve learned through a gallery and performance where families join in attendance. Although students follow an intense schedule of learning, Sugarloaf offers an often-needed respite from the norm. “The camp provides opportunities for kids that just want a camp experience, a break from the normal routine

From map making, above, to music, below, Sugarloaf campers have many opportunities to explore their creative side.

of school. I think that there’s something about being at a sleepover camp where you separate from mom and dad and you’re in this closed environment where everybody is focused on the arts or on developing people’s character. The kids really do come out changed at the end of the week,” explained Camp Director Andy Johnson. He and fellow Camp Director Brian Dezzani are both previous

campers with a desire to give back — a testament to the impact Sugarloaf makes. As students in the band major wrapped up their Tuesday morning session, instructor Santiago Sabado told his students how far they’ve already come since Sunday. “There’s a lot of great resources here,” explained Johnson. “Students make a quantum leap in their abilities.” The encouragement

coming from instructors is noticeable in each program. For example, a drama teacher enthusiastically performs lines for students and music recording and production instructors offer feedback on “wild” music tracks. Not to mention that many instructors and staff travel to participate in Sugarloaf — from the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest all the way to Georgia. Their involvement is

monumental in creating a truly unique and rare experience for local youth. Students may first attend camp after completing the fifth grade and can participate every year through 11th grade. El Dorado County students are given priority in attending, but out-ofcounty applications are also accepted. There is a tuition assistance program through the n

PROSPECTING

SHANE DWIGHT

entertains with country, rock, blues and more News release

UTTER CREEK — Loaded with his six string gun, Shane Dwight fires away his own mix of blues-rock, country and soul to create a swagger sound. He astounds other players with his prowess and his confidence shows the crowd he’s boss. See the talented musician live Aug. 12 at Sutter Creek Theatre. Dwight has performed more than 3,500 shows over the years, headlining at some of music’s most significant events — Ottawa Blues Festival (Canada), Beale Street Festival (Memphis), Grolsch Blues Festival (Germany), Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, Portland Waterfront (Oregon), Reno Blues Festival, Springing The Blues (Florida) — and sharing the stage with household names such as Blake Shelton, Joe Bonamassa, The Doobie Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Collective Soul and the great B.B. King. Dwight has played the intimate listening rooms like Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tenn., to large capacity venues like House of Blues (San Diego, Chicago) and BB Kings (NYC, Orlando, L.A.); casinos from Las Vegas to Florida; and even a stint at Disneyland for five years. He brings a four-piece with keys and backing vocals for a lush and rocking

Shane Dwight performs blues, rock, soul, country and a little bit of hip-hop that shows his California roots. See him live in Sutter Creek this Friday. sound. Critically acclaimed blues maverick Dwight will pull the crows into his house by the ear after the first chord of “No One Loves Me Better” out on Red Parlor Records out on April 5, 2019. This esteemed independent label has long been a champion of music’s best songwriters and Dwight is no exception. This new collection of

songs is some of his most personal yet — gut-wrenching and heartbreaking to date. The story of a man finding love, committing a crime and wanting redemption runs deep in Dwight’s songs. From the heartwarming “No One Loves Me Better” to the dark “Bullets & Gasoline” to the sassy “Sucker,” Dwight nails life to the wall like a WANTED sign out in the wild west. His songwriting has evolved so far that he may be untouchable for a

while; fans won’t be able to get it out of their heads and critics won’t know what to do with him. But one thing’s for sure: he’s here to stay. Recorded at Grammy Awardwinning Kevin McKendree’s studio in Franklin, Tenn, with a mega all-star cast of players, this album boasts slick, powerful and groove-driven sounds. The heartbeat of the drums and the entanglement of guitars mix well with Dwight’s raspy voice. The eccentric guitar tunings bring the haunted voices to life; you can almost see the movie. “You will hear some of my friends, Bekka Bramlett (Elton John), Kenneth Blevins (John Hiatt) and Rob McNelley (Bob Seger) who all came to the table that day to be a part of this story,” Dwight shared. “The story is of a misunderstood man, his trials and tribulations over the perils of whiskey, women and the music business.” “No One Loves Me Better” ends with “The Trial Of A Poet” — a haunting resonator and background vocals from the renowned Bramlett; it’s filled with fog, crunchy leaves and a flashlight. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. at the historical Sutter Creek Theatre, 44 Main St. in Sutter Creek. For tickets and more information visit suttercreektheater. com.

It’s about friendship,” Johnson said. A lot of teamwork and effort is put into making the camp possible. The program is administered by the El Dorado County Office of Education and several team members from educational services, IT and communications support Sugarloaf staff and volunteers. Partners

Barton Health nurse John Truesdell holds up the special award he received for going above and beyond for his patients.

Nurse earns award for exceptional care Thea Hardy Barton Health

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — John Truesdell, RN with Barton’s Emergency Department, was selected as a recipient of The DAISY Award for extraordinary nurses. The award is in recognition of the clinical skill and compassionate care nurses provide to create a superior experience for patients and their families. Truesdell was nominated by a woman whose husband received emergency care at Barton Memorial Hospital following a ski accident. With his memory impaired and the extent of his injuries unknown, the family came in with a high level of anxiety. Throughout the visit Truesdell fostered trust and empowerment, taking care to explain all procedures and ensure comprehension. The family reported feeling safe in his care despite an uncomfortable and frightening situation. “It was a very scary experience as he had no memory from his concussion and we didn’t know how bad his injuries were yet. We were alone, as we aren’t from South Lake Tahoe, but the wonderful staff at Barton not only treated my husband, they made me feel safe, too,” said the nominator. “[Truesdell’s] care especially stood out. He treated us with so much care and explained everything that was going on so that I felt less afraid. He checked in on us frequently and addressed my husband’s discomfort.

We are so very grateful for John’s care.” Truesdell is a South Lake Tahoe native who attended nursing school at University of Reno. His interest in medicine progressed from years as a ski patroller and wilderness guide. “I wanted to do more for people than stabilize and transport,” said Truesdell. “My favorite part of my job is seeing an improvement in the patient’s condition, and of course, the knowledgeable, supportive and fun team I work with.” He has been a nurse for 10 years. Nurses may be nominated by patients and families, and the award recipient is chosen anonymously by a committee at Barton Health. As a winner of The DAISY Award, Truesdell received a certificate, a DAISY Award pin and a sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, handcarved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. Awards are presented quarterly at celebrations often attended by the honoree’s colleagues, patients and visitors. The DAISY Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in 1999 at age 33 from complications of an autoimmune disease (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System). The care Barnes and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses. To learn more and nominate a nurse for The DAISY Award visit BartonHealth.org/Daisy.

Foundation grants fund life-saving technology News release Continuing its mission of advancing local health care through philanthropy, the Barton Health Foundation has donated $95,806 to fund medical equipment upgrades that will improve patient care and expand services at Barton Health. Seven devices have been funded and will improve service lines across the organization, including the Family Birthing Center and Emergency Department. Through upcoming events and support of generous donors, the Barton Health Foundation will continue to fund innovations in technology available to the Lake Tahoe community. “We are grateful for the opportunity to provide innovations in health care — empowering our providers to deliver the best care possible to our community,” said Chris Kiser, executive director of the Barton Health Foundation. “Our donors and board members are making a difference through personal philanthropy and their contributions help provide the margin of excellence that sets Barton Health apart in providing exceptional care.” The grants funded technological updates including a new ultrasound

for the Family Birthing Center, a new electrocardiogram machine, three rapid screening devices to determine cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and a retinal camera, hyperangulated intubation blade, transducer probe and curved abdominal ultrasound probe to improve care opportunities in Barton’s Emergency Department. “We extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the Barton Health Foundation for generous grants to our acute care services teams — your contributions have paved the way for innovations throughout our service areas and directly impact patient care,” said Julie Clayton, chief nursing officer. For more than 30 years, the Barton Health Foundation has been committed to improving the health of the residents and visitors of the Lake Tahoe region and to ensuring Barton Health has the tools and technology to provide the best health care possible. Since its inception in 1990, the Barton Health Foundation has raised more than $26 million to ensure state-ofthe-art medical care is available right here in our community. For additional details on the Barton Health Foundation, including the upcoming event, Tux ‘n Tennies benefitting Barton Oncology Services, visit BartonHealth.org/Foundation.

Interested parties can obtain the current wage information by submitting their requests to the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, PO Box 420603, San Francisco CA 94142-0603, Telephone (415) 7034708 or by referring to the website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/ PWD. The rates at the time of the bid advertisement date of a project will remain in effect for the life of the project in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, as modified and effective January 27, 1997. Copies of the general prevailing rate of wages in the county in which the Work is to be done are also on file at the Department of Transportation’s principal office, and are available upon request, and in case of projects involving federal funds, federal wage requirements as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor have been included in the Contract Documents. In the case of federally funded projects, where federal and state prevailing wage requirements apply, compliance with both is required. This Project is funded in whole or part by federal funds. Comply with Exhibit D of the Draft Agreement and the Copeland Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 29 CFR Part 3), the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7 and 29 CFR Part 5), and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330 and 29 CFR Part 5). If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department of Transportation will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by Contractor and subcontractors, Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. AWARD OF CONTRACT: As a condition of award, the successful Bidder will be required to submit payment and performance

bonds along with evidence of insurance prior to execution of the Agreement by the County. Failure to meet this requirement constitutes abandonment of the Bid by the Bidder and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. Award will then be made to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder. RETAINAGE FROM PAYMENTS: The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the Contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the County, by depositing securities of equivalent value with the County in accordance with the provisions of Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code. Securities eligible for deposit hereunder are be limited to those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit.

On September 15, 2022 at 01:00 PM, Main Entrance, El Dorado County Superior Courthouse - Placerville Main Street Branch, 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on December 31, 2018 as Instrument No. 20180049281-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by KENNETH J MCGEEVER, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for SIERRA PACIFIC MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC., A CALIFORNIA NMLS: 1788 as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5061 ANDY WOLF ROAD, GARDEN VALLEY, CA 95633 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $434,102.77 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may

call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA06000035-22-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website www.Auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA06000035-22-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Here’s a way to wash your car with very little water. You will need: • ½ cup vinegar • ½ teaspoon natural liquid soap • 2 cups of water • spray bottle • clean rag • soft cloth for buffing

For a clean car and clean creeks, try one of these:

Put the liquid ingredients in the spray bottle and shake to mix. Spray a small area of your car with the liquid and wipe, removing the dirt and grime.
