Man who didn’t commit murder seeks $18 million

Volume 169 • Issue 95 | 75¢

“We have found three times the amount of abandoned fire pits in dispersed camping locations than the last three years combined.”

– Dave Pereira, Eldorado National Forest fire management officer

Pat Lakey Staff writer The man wrongfully convicted of the 1985 murder of a woman at an El Dorado Hills home — the man who spent more than 15 years in state prison for a crime he didn’t commit — is seeking $18 million from El Dorado County. Ricky Leo Davis, now 55, was declared factually innocent and released from custody in February by a Placerville Superior Court judge who was ready to try Davis, once again, for the brutal slaying of Jane Anker Hylton. Instead of facing a new trial, however, Judge Kenneth Melikian said evidence provided by DNA testing exonerated the defendant who, the judge added, had undergone “incarceration for way too long a time.” Davis always maintained his innocence in the slaying where a knife was used to stab the victim with nearly 30 blows, and the claim filed with the county Clerk’s Office Tuesday, Aug. 11, states that his n

Third restaurant cited for breaking COVID-19 orders

Illegal campfires on the rise as folks flock to forest n Wildfire risks mount as dispersed camping increases in the forest

Dylan Svoboda Staff writer Danette’s Brick Oven and Pub in Placerville is the third El Dorado County restaurant cited for spurning state coronavirus safety regulations. After repeated violations, El Dorado County’s Environmental Management department officials directed the eatery to close Aug. 11 due to noncompliance with orders surrounding restaurants issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom in midJuly. The restaurant was cited for its failure to close all dine-in activity, noncompliance with facial covering regulations and not adhering to COVID19 worksite safety plans, according to county Environmental Management Manager Jeffrey Warren. Danette’s health permit is suspended until further notice, Warren said. After the county pulls a restaurant’s health permit, the business has 15 days to request a hearing before Environmental Management. A violation of the county’s order carries a fine of $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense if committed within a year and $500 for each n

Shoppers aim for Target as Placerville location opens Dawn Hodson Staff writer A soft opening of the new Target in Prospector’s Plaza in Placerville drew a number of shoppers Wednesday. Some even waited in line to be the first in when the store opened at 8 a.m. The grand opening is set for Sunday but that didn’t stop anyone from coming earlier as was obvious from the packed parking lot. A cheerful Jo Cope of Placerville was loading up the back of her car with milk and other items. “I came to check it out,” she said, “and to get some stuff I was looking for. They have very courteous staff.” Also happy to see the store open was mother-daughter shopping team Shantal and Tina Ferreira of Placerville. “I’ve been waiting for the store to open,” said Shantal. “They have lots of stock. It’s really organized and clean and the staff are friendly.”

Echoing her comments, Tina said she was excited when she first heard they were opening a Target locally. “It was a good experience shopping there,” she said. “It’s a big store but it has a small-town feel.” The store has a bright, fresh feel to its 86,000 square feet with a variety of goods lining shelves and some 120 employees to help. Merchandise includes apparel and accessories for the whole family; home decor and essentials; an assortment of health, personal care and beauty products; adult beverages; a Starbucks outlet inside the store; a CVS Pharmacy; order pickup and drive up; and free services that allow customers to order items online and pick up in-store or have orders brought out to their vehicle. A Target spokesman said this is the Mountain Democrat photo by Dawn Hodson company’s 20th store in the greater Placerville resident Jo Cope loads up her car after shopping at the new Target store that opened in Placerville Wednesday. n See Target, page A7

Lake Tahoe residents to protest tourism, littering Cheyanne Neuffer Tahoe Daily Tribune South Lake Tahoe resident Josh Lease is fed up with the trash and the constant stream of tourists flowing into Lake Tahoe during the coronavirus pandemic. “Tahoe is being thrashed,” said Lease, a 20-year resident. Lease said he wanted to raise awareness after seeing local beaches littered with garbage. He wrote an initial Facebook post Aug. 9 detailing his frustration with the trash problem and the amount of people coming into Tahoe. “I wanted to see if anyone was feeling the same way I was,” Lease explained. “Why is every day a holiday in Tahoe right now? Something has to be done.” Since Lease has been in the community for nearly two decades, he said he apparently has a big reach in Tahoe. While Lease said his initial social media post was almost a joke,

he realized many people were feeling the same way. Other locals started making signs and planning a protest near the roundabout on Highway 50 in Meyers where a majority of tourists file into town. Now protests are planned for 4 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Sunday at five locations around Lake Tahoe — Truckee, Tahoe City, Meyers, Incline Village and Kings Beach. Lease believes the city is not properly handling tourism and the traffic issues that coincide. “Money is more important than locals and we are seeing it first hand,” he said. “They are not fixing the problem, they are raising more.” Lease said people are flocking to Tahoe because most parts of other states are closed. “We can’t lock everyone out,” said Chris Fiore communications manager for South Lake Tahoe. “We recognize people from out of town ■

A third man on the boat was uninjured. The incident is under investigation. “This is a tragic situation and our hearts go out to Mr. Castorena’s family,” said Lt. Shannon Laney, “This incident also serves as a tragic reminder that boating safety is top priority on the water. Wear a life vest, refrain from drinking and boat responsibly.”

Bear sightings reported in Placerville Kevin Christensen Staff writer The Placerville Police Department has been receiving reports of black bear sightings in Placerville. Sightings were reported Monday around dusk near Coloma and Bee streets, Coloma Court and Highway 193 at Highway 49, according to a post to the agency’s Facebook page. There is thought to be just one bear.

“Bears do live among us,” state PPD officials in the post. “While they are seldom seen in city limits they do manage to come into town on occasion. ” … they will seek simple food sources from garbage cans, outdoor pet food bowls and gravitate towards ‘inviting smells.’” Police urge residents to “be aware, keep your distance and stay safe” and to report “nuisance bears.”

Frontline docs censored by big tech

t least a dozen medical doctors from all over America assembled in front of the Supreme Court July 27 to counter the only message going forward allowed the American people with respect to the coronavirus. Many had HAROLD PEASE already experienced the removal of their messages on Google, which owns 70% of most American media outside Fox News. (Tucker Carlson Tonight, June 16, 2020). Outside their COVID-19 expertise, these doctors had one thing in common that made their contribution superior to those of Anthony Fauci (a vaccine-ologist), the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization: They are actual physicians with COVID-19 patients. They also had come independently to the conclusion that the 65-year-old drug hydroxychloroquine used so successfully in COVID-1 previously also worked extremely well with its cousin, COVID-19. These frontline doctors are seasoned physicians in the trenches with the virus. All knew that consequences against their speaking out would likely follow. All knew that what they had to share would be nuked by every media piping the approved media message — be afraid, stay afraid. All knew that what they would tell the American public would be opposite what most Americans were getting on establishment networks, but all were committed to tell the truth. All probably also knew that if they did not speak out now freedom of the press might be gone. If the medical profession could be silenced, all other interests challenging the left side of the political spectrum could never survive. Doctors are among the most revered and least political part of our society. They reasoned that with their combined story they might get through the wall of censorship already in place. They were wrong. Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter de-platformed them within hours the same day but fortunately not before 17 million heard what they had to say. The establishment print press went after them immediately. It was difficult to find any press, outside Fox News, that did not undermine everything they said; our media are so controlled. It remains that none of the journalists or factcheckers in these countering pieces were themselves physicians. They know nothing in comparison. Here are some of the messages Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter refused to allow Americans to hear. This is every bit as big a censoring as burning books in the Middle Ages. Dr. Simone Gold spoke of two phases of the virus, early and late, both treatable with present drugs. But physicians are confronted with a generated “spiderweb of fear … all around us and it’s constricting us” and “draining the lifeblood of the American people,” society and economy that “does not make sense.” The virus is “treatable” now. “That’s what we’re here to tell you. But we implore you to hear this, because this message has been silenced,” Gold said. “There are many thousands of physicians who have been silenced from telling the American people … that we can manage the virus.” ■

Letters to the Editor Mask or wedgie? EDITOR: he vast majority of anti-mask demonstrators appear to range in age from mid-20s to late 30s. They’re the very people most likely to wear thongs, a garment that gives the wearer a permanent wedgie and certainly looks far more uncomfortable to wear than a face mask. JOHN GARON Placerville

Voting rights EDITOR:

e recently said “goodbye” to John Robert Lewis, a great American who has passed on before Election Day. I’m sure he was especially looking forward to casting his ballot in this upcoming election. He had fought so hard to ensure the right to vote for all of us. It is our right, our privilege and, most of all, our power. This is not the time to ignore or squander this right. It is the time to proudly cast that ballot. And, as you do it, think of John Lewis — “This one is for you.” “This one is for all of us.” It is time to step up to save the country. We must register. Then, we can vote early. We can vote by mail. We can hand-carry our ballot to the drop-off in the parking lot of the Elections Office. We can vote on Election Day. We can do it. John Lewis is counting on you. He is watching. BONNIE CHAPMAN Placerville

Great American Outdoors Act EDITOR: ongressman Tom McClintock (R-CD4) voted “nay” on the Great American Outdoors Act (HR1957). This bill, submitted by the late Rep. John Lewis, and sponsored by Republicans and Democrats, was signed by President Trump. Congressional District 4 includes iconic national parks — Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon — as well as other federal public lands that will benefit. These lands are crucial to the economies of the district, bringing in millions of dollars to local cities, towns and counties. The influx of these millions depends on the quality of experience for visitors to our public lands and funds from the Great American Outdoors Act for maintenance and improvements are necessary for continuation of this quality. McClintock’s vote on this act is evidence that

he cares little for the people and natural wonders of our district and can hardly be seen as our true “representative.” VIRGINIA MEYER Shingle Springs

Lockdowns EDITOR: see on the new El Dorado County Health Department Virus Dashboard, as of July 30, there are 202 active coronavirus cases and only one person hospitalized. I presume that 201 active cases are at home and their illness is not serious enough to require hospitalization. The media seem to be trying to create hysteria by emphasizing only new cases and not reporting that for most people it is a mild illness. I think this is a dangerous situation, because the lockdowns seem likely to create a 1930s-style Depression. PHIL BERRY Placerville

Govt. declassifies UFOs EDITOR: n July 23 the New York Times published the U.S. government’s announcement that UFOs are real and that the government has for years studied UFOs and worked on understanding how they fly. Further, the government has created an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force in charge of all knowledge about them. Thus does the UFO cover-up end: not with a bang but a whimper. The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force is run by the Office of Naval Intelligence, which pledges that from now on UFO matters will be handled “with transparency.” Previously the UFO cover-up was run by the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, operating since 2007 within the Defense Intelligence Agency, then later put under the control of the undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and operated by defense contractor Bigelow Aerospace. That AATIP program ended in 2018 when the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force was created. Actual management of the new government UFO program is under the Office of Naval Intelligence Comm. RADM Kelly Aeschbach, who oversees

It’s Always Something Else

Bugging out gets real … and it goes on forever

here’s a bit more to bugging out than packing. There is throwing away, donating, selling, patching holes, the logistics of getting as many boxes in a U-Haul trailer as possible, contacting friends and family and WENDY saying goodbye again and again, calling the utility companies and transferring or terminating, post office changes, bank changes and the many, many papers that must be signed when selling or purchasing a house in California that keep you chained to your laptop. If you knew, really knew, all that was involved, would you do it? Maybe, maybe not. We are in the throes of the process — our brains are on overload; our muscles are protesting; our garage is overflowing. Masked people come to our house and they aren’t allowed to leave without taking vegetables

from our garden or some junk from our garage. I have learned to fill, spackle and smooth holes left from the 9 million things taken from the walls of my husband’s man cave and the rest of our house. I have learned to pack boxes tightly into a SCHULTZ U-Haul, using every engineering cell in my body to arrange them for maximum utilization of trailer space, and I have learned what happens to the U-Haul trailer if you don’t. I have learned to drive 500 miles in a day, unload a trailer, sleep for five hours and then drive 500 miles back home. I bless coffee, audio books and truck stops for my sanity. I have learned to drop anything I was doing to fill out reams of “urgent” paperwork from Realtors, insurance companies, title companies and inspectors. Docusign has also become

a blessing, but one I hope to see much, much less of in the future. The barrage of packing, tossing, donating, paperwork and cleaning has kept me away from the news and that’s a blessing too. I don’t know the current COVID-19 figures, what heinous alternative facts Our Fearless Tweeter is tweeting now and who he has fired in the past few days. I don’t know or care whether he is still in love with Kim Jong Un or whether he is now courting the Rocket Man’s, sister who is possibly in charge of things at the moment. I don’t know who Biden might be thinking about for a running mate. I go to sleep with aching muscles but with no knowledge of how Trump’s flirtation with hydroxychloroquine, bleach or Lysol is working out for him. I did hear that some people have died from drinking hand sanitizer, but that must be fake news because no one would be that stupid, would they? Our dog is thrilled with the many visitors who show up to inspect something, fix something or take

something away. Everyone pets her, despite the possibility of virus transmission. I can’t stop them because she is cute and utterly shameless. She parks herself at their feet, gazes up adoringly, flicks her ears back and waits for the pets. And they fall for it every time. When they stop in an attempt to get on with whatever brought them to the house in the first place, Cali places a gently restraining paw on their legs. “More pets, please. More.” I’m pretty sure most visitors feel that the dog is trying to pass along the message that she needs rescue from the horrible people she lives with — the ones too busy packing to pet her. Writing a column is a joy, indeed. Because I can sit down. Because I have to use my brain instead of my legs. Because Bob thinks I am doing something with Docusign and I need quiet to read all that tiny print.

Why? Because “it’s 78% similar to the prior version the COVID1” successfully treated with hydroxychloroquine. “Not surprisingly, it works.” Dr. Bob Hamilton, a pediatrician from Santa Monica practicing for 36 years, told reporters that kids are almost entirely asymptomatic and can go back to school now, implying without social distancing or masking. “The mortality rates of children is about one-fifth of 1%.” Kids are “not passing it on to their parents or ... passing it on to their teachers.” He quoted a pediatric infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist from Scotland, Dr. Mark, who said, “There has not been one documented case of COVID being transferred from a student to a teacher in the world.” Dr. Hamilton continued, “We need to act out of science,” not out of a generated fear — a fear respective to opening up the schools is driven mostly by the wants of teachers’ unions, not the needs of the kids. Dr. Stella Emanuel, who works especially with compromised COVID patients as old as 92 with serious medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma), told reporters, “Patients do not need to die.” None of hers has and she has treated more than 350 back to health. “I put them on hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax,” she told reporters, and I’ve “not lost one.” She also placed herself and staff on hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis as, “We see patients, 10 to 15 patients every day … we only wear surgical masks. None of us has gotten sick. It

works.” Implicit in this comment and voiced by other physicians is that most of those who died could have been spared if treated with hydroxychloroquine in phase one as a prophylactic and in phase two with the other two drugs. And why does hydroxychloroquine work so well? Dr. Cole explained, “It concentrates in the lungs 200 to 700 times higher” than in the bloodstream. The invading virus heads for the lungs but is blocked by the drug chloroquine from getting in. That is why the drug is so effective as a prophylactic. Should it get in it seeks to replicate. The addition of “zinc will mess up the copy machine called RdRP.” Dr. Emanuel summed up why the frontline doctors were there. “I came here to Washington, D.C., to tell America nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure. It is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax … You don’t need masks or shutdowns. There is a cure. “It is time for the grassroots to wake up and say no, we’re not going to take this any longer. We’re not going to die,” she added. “When people are dying, it’s unethical.” The doctors know how to treat this virus. They do it every day. Dr. Harold Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution. He has dedicated his career to studying the writings of the Founding Fathers and applying that knowledge to current events. He taught history and political science from this perspective for over 30 years at Taft College.

BLM rally brings attention to Breonna Taylor death

Demonstrators supporting the Black Lives Matter movement once again rallied at the footsteps of the El Dorado County Superior Courthouse in Placerville Monday, this time with their focus on bringing awareness of the death of Louisville, Ky., woman Breonna Taylor. Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American emergency medical technician, was reportedly fatally shot eight times March 13 by Louisville Metro Police Department officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove. “150 days without an arrest for murder, whether it is a civilian or police officer, is unacceptable,” said demonstrator and Placerville resident Ali Jones. “There is no doubt in my mind Breonna was murdered and we wanted to bring attention to the injustice at this demonstration. She was shot eight times in her bed in her own home.” The three plain-clothed officers who were executing a no-knock search warrant, according to reports, entered Taylor’s apartment and gunfire was exchanged between Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker and the officers. Walker reportedly said he believed the officers were intruders and the officers returned fire, unloading 20 rounds. LMPD Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly was injured by gunfire during the exchange. “No-knock warrants are relics of the racist ‘war on drugs’ and represent the problematic, ineffective policies from that era that continue to oppress people of color today,” added Jones. Louisville police claim they knocked several times before entering the home of Taylor, announcing they were Louisville police officers with a search warrant. Neighbors and Taylor’s family dispute this, saying there was no announcement and Walker and Taylor thought someone was breaking in, causing Walker to act in self-defense. Walker was licensed to carry a firearm and allegedly fired first. According to a wrongful death lawsuit filed against police by the Taylor family’s attorney, the officers, who entered Taylor’s home without knocking or announcing a search warrant, opened fire “with a total disregard for the value of human life.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Approval is a fleeting and precarious thing, not to be taken too seriously. Using approval as a guiding light would be a comfortable and grave mistake. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People get bored with one another. That’s part of the deal in any relationship. The best way to keep it interesting is to create space while you work on things that make you feel vital and renewed. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today features an immersive, joyful and satisfying experience. The best part is you know when you’re in it; you note and document what’s going on around you; and later, you can savor this again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll consider doing more for yourself, though you worry how it will affect others. If you keep ignoring your own interests, you’ll wind up resentful and disappointed. Just choose you and things work out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may come across work you did long ago and discover that it makes no sense to you now, or you may be utterly baffled by a decision you made way back when. See how far you’ve come? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Robots can repeat precise maneuvers tirelessly but cannot respond to anything outside of their programming. For you, repetition gets tiresome indeed. You need fresh circumstances to think your way around.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve heard it before, but you have trouble taking it to heart, so it bears repeating. Doing things for yourself doesn’t mean you’re selfish. It means you’re doing a good job with your No. 1 job in life: taking care of yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Emotional fitness is just like physical fitness. It takes practice. You have to move and lift the heavy things until they feel lighter. Practicing this will be the main achievement of the day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your signmate Ludwig van Beethoven’s notebooks reveal how he gradually assembled his glorious melodies, sometimes culled from uneventful beginnings. Don’t expect miracles from the start ; this is a process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The lesser-known aspects of your life will be a point of fascination for someone who is a wonderful fit for you. You will know those who are not good fits by their disinterest. Avoid the incurious! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll deal in two kinds of instruction. One is meant to be followed to the letter, and the other is more of a statement of purpose that allows you to achieve your mission by any means you see fit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Emotional avoidance eventually causes more pain than if you’d just dealt head-on with what you were feeling. Name the feeling, and then let yourself wallow in it. It will dissipate eventually.

It’s going to get hot out there. The National Weather Service is predicting a heatwave in the foothills starting Friday with temperatures forecast to reach triple digits through Wednesday next week. With extreme high temperatures forecast the El Dorado County emergency preparedness and response team encourages residents to take precautions to protect themselves in the heat. Here are its recommendations for individuals to stay cool and healthy during the upcoming hot weather: • Drink plenty of ﬂuids, such as water and low-calorie sports drinks, even if you are not thirsty. • Stay indoors in an air-conditioned building. If you do not have air conditioning, visit a friend, relative or other location in the community, such as a library or grocery store where the air conditioning is working. Ensure that you are following physical distancing guidelines and safety precautions to prevent the spread of coronavirus. • Pace yourself and avoid heavy exertion in the heat. • Never leave a child, elderly person or animal in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise to dangerous levels in a matter of minutes. • Make sure animals have plenty of shade and water. • Check on neighbors, relatives and friends, particularly those who may be isolated.

violation thereafter, within a year. A single day of noncompliance constitutes one violation, county spokeswoman Carla Hass said. Despite directions to close, the restaurant remained open for business Wednesday afternoon. About two dozen diners could be seen eating inside the pub located just off Placerville Drive. While most tables stood 6 feet apart, no Danette’s employees wore facial coverings, as far as the Mountain Democrat could tell. Owner Danette Inman declined comment. The Placerville restaurant follows Apple Bistro and Café El Dorado, both of which had their health permits suspended by the county July 31. Like Danette’s, the restaurants both ignored state coronavirus regulations by allowing indoor dining and not requiring employees to wear masks — and remained open after losing their permits. In July El Dorado County began enforcement of the state’s COVID-19 safety guidelines at businesses operating in defiance.

view Tahoe is a safe haven.” He said the city also hears concerns of people seeing tourists coming in droves into the basin. Fiore said city officials realize trash is an issue in Tahoe and they are collaborating with other agencies to work on the issue. During a city council meeting Aug. 11 there was discussion about the trash problem and partnering with South Tahoe Refuse and the Public Works Department. But Fiore said if people are going to come to Tahoe, they need to give it the respect it deserves. “People are going to show up and it is important to get them to realize that this is the place we call home,” he said. “People should leave no trace. It is dangerous for wildlife and dangerous to the environment when trash is left behind. It is unacceptable.” The city has implemented an ambassador program to hand out masks around town and has partnered with local agencies for marketing campaigns. “During this crisis the city has gone above and beyond to keep people safe, keep Tahoe safe and keep Tahoe open,” he said. Fiore said the governor’s travel ban is still in place and that if people see egregious violations, they should call the police’s non-emergency line.

are prohibited. Fines come at a cost of up to $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization. Pereira suggested safe alternatives to illegal, dispersed campfires are fires utilizing propane, specifically pointing to propane fire pits. “They have an on/off switch … and give the feel and ambiance of a real campfire a lot of people are looking for.” Dispersed campers also don’t have the other amenities of a developed campground such as trash removal, toilet facilities and tables. To encourage the “leave no trace” effort the Forest Service has placed large dumpsters throughout the forest for visitors to leave waste on their way out. Tips given Saturday for reducing impacts on forest lands include removing excess packaging of items brought on trips, bringing heavy-duty trash bags, packing out used toilet paper in plastic baggies and because there are no bathrooms, bringing a trowel or small shovel to dig a hole 6-8 inches deep and 200 feet away from water sources as protocol. Charis Parker, a forest recreation officer with Eldorado National Forest recalled a camping tip from her father that serves as great advice, “Do more than expected … leave your campsite cleaner than when you found it. “Carry out that extra wrapper even if it’s not yours so next time you come back or kids do in the future the campsite

Responsible parking is also a hot topic on the Eldorado National Forest. Thompson said teams recently put strategic signs instructing people to park on directed sides of narrower roadways “as much as possible” to help ensure vehicles can pass — especially emergency vehicles. “On many of the dirt

roads here if people don’t move as close to the side as possible it can hinder and even block the road for emergency vehicles,” he said. “If something happens and emergency teams have to stop and hike in, it takes that much longer to get to people injured or address a dangerous emergency.”

Carol Clark Clark is an award-winning photographer who has the skill to reproduce her subject beyond a simple two-dimensional representation of what she captures within her lens. She collects the colors and textures of a scene and infuses it with story and soul. Clark has been snapping photos since she had her first Brownie camera. These were simple devices, designed and made “Yaquina Head Lighthouse” by Carol Clark to appeal to children and, at the price of $1, they were affordable. Looking down into the finder the Pleasant Valley area near Placerville. you’d compose the image, hold Surrounded by the woods, wildlife and your breath and snap the shot.

That enthusiasm and capture the beauty around her. She certainly translates to her present work. has a deep appreciation for landscapes, Clark was born in California but lived wildlife, human and architectural beauty, in Mississippi for a few years, where she which she strives to reflect in the colors, joined a local art association to exhibit textures and subjects of her photography. and sell her photography.

She opened the door to a gallery brimming with wonderful art created by many different local artists. Stiles had always wanted to join an art gallery and Gold Country Artists Gallery seemed a perfect fit. Stiles joined the group of talented artists she met there and has been a member since 2000. Stiles’ passion for art has been a constant companion since she was young. Growing up in the Bay Area, she earned her degree in fine arts from Scripps College.

Lighthouse on the Oregon coast, Clark stood on the same land upon which the lighthouse has stood sentinel to warn seafarers of foul weather since the 1800s. Clark frames the lighthouse standing firm as the gulls that ride the currents nearby defy the elements. The cupola and gallery deck are painted black, which makes the whiteness of the tower even starker. Viewers can also see the rusty stains marring the paint, a gift of wind, salt and time. At its base sits a dwelling and the color of the roof, the door and the window trim are all the same as the oncoming storm. Clark found the balance between the wildness of the elements just offshore, with the centered power and strength of the lighthouse; the symmetry is subtle but profound. Rodney at Coloma Jailhouse is an example of Clark’s skill with storytelling in her images. Rodney portrays a character who re-enacts the 49er history of California’s Gold Country. His appearance is grizzled, his features are gaunt and his clothing is frayed, but Clark has captured the dignity of the character. The structure behind him appears just as rough, but also has a solid dignity about it. The image captures the feeling of solidity and strength found in El Dorado County that Clark so loves. That spirit of excitement that young Clark had with her first snapshot in her Brownie camera shines through in all her work.

her craft. Over the years she has been a potter, a watercolorist, a pastel artist and an oil painter and she enjoys joining together with groups of other artists for intensive painting experiences. Stiles is a skilled oil painter, but she favors pastels and watercolor. She especially loves painting plein air (French for “open air”), where the artists capture their subjects in the outdoor air and light. As Stiles experimented with different media outdoors, she particularly enjoyed the challenge of looking for the light and shadows of the landscape; she found watercolors brought her the most pleasure. Stiles describes painting plein air as a wonderful way to spend time. She records her experiences for later reference and to further relive the joy she felt at the

time. An example of a Stiles’ plein air watercolor work is a tranquil scene of a “Field of Iris.” Admirers feel like they are sitting by the artist as she captures the scene in the field itself, perhaps in a bit of shade, multicolored blossoms seeming to waft about in a bit of breeze before us. The petals of each blossom seem loosely formed, yet each is clearly an iris petal brought to life by Stiles’ adept brush. One of Stiles’ favorite subjects are market scenes. She especially loves the color and activity, but she is mostly drawn by the people in these scenes. In “Off to Market,” viewers see the figure of a woman bearing a load of goods, heading down a cobbled lane. Stiles explains she was intrigued by the overall

gesture of the central figure, the turn of her ankle, the weight of the bundle slung around her back, the balance of the load on her head and the overall sense of ease of the figure. The setting gives the impression of a small, perhaps Guatemalan town. Stiles has captured the feel of the surrounding structures, implying bright adobe with clean geometric lines and the colorful patterns and prints worn by the woman. “I used pastels for this picture because of the intense colors and varied textures pastels can provide,” Stiles explained. Stiles said she finds endless inspiration in the ■

EDHCSD reopens after-school program Sel Richard Staff writer

he El Dorado Hills Community Services District is once again offering its own afterschool program, Adventure Zone, slated to begin Aug. 17. After an incident involving a lost child during its 2019 spring break camp, the CSD offered summer and after-school programs through the Boys and Girls Club while it regrouped and rebuilt the youth and teen services program’s safety and operational protocols. Over a year later, the new program will be operated by CSD staff with the purpose “to provide a safe, caring and enriching environment,” said CSD Recreation Director Michael Cottrell, assuring that robust protocols, procedures and expectations have been created and implemented in the program. “Staff are trained on all facets of the program and will be audited regularly by internal and external parties to ensure high service levels.” The “safety first” philosophy is embodied in a new feature called ePACT, an online emergency network that collects medical and emergency information for participants and eliminates the use of paper forms. Cottrell assured it is a highly secure program and allows his staff to be better prepared in dealing

with emergencies. “Because it is web-based, staff and parents can securely access the system via smartphone, tablet or computer so it’s always accessible whether at the park or during a field trip,” he explained. Health protocols will include daily screening and temperature checks, enhanced cleaning, social distancing between groups and encouragement of good hygiene practices. Staff and supervisors will wear masks at all times. Parents are expected to wear masks when picking up children but participants will not be required to wear masks. “Our priority remains to be the health and safety of participants, staff and the community,” Cottrell stated, adding that any new guidance from the El Dorado County County health officer may have an impact on operations. The supervision ratio is one staff or volunteer for every 10 youth with a maximum enrollment of 30 participants.

Age-appropriate and integrated activities are the backbone of the new program. “Children are encouraged to be actively involved so that they develop social skills and learn to make responsible choices within the program’s structure,” said Cottrell. Art, science and outdoor fun will be available as well as time for homework and free play. The program is planned for operation 2 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with early openings for all scheduled Buckeye Union School District and Rescue Union School District early release or minimum days. Participants are asked to bring a healthy snack. The program will not follow the previous hourly fee structure. Tuition will be a weekly rate of $95 and families are being asked to commit to an entire semester (August through December). “First and foremost I’d like to thank the Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado County Western Slope for providing a safe, structured and positive environment for young people ages 6-18 over the past 12 months to the El Dorado Hills community,” Cottrell said, glad to be running an in-house program again. “I’m excited to bring the programs back in-house and plan to offer the safety-first model that can still be fun-filled and is chock full of cooperative learning, which kids love.” Registration for kindergarteners through fifthgraders is currently being accepted and older grades will be waitlisted and accepted as appropriate staffing is acquired.

THE PETITION for probate requests that MARK FINLEY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in

this court as follows: September 23, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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.

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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-201443. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

(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.

world around her and is inspired by other artists as well and she loves to share the results of that inspiration.

Nataly Tikhomirov Born in Russia, Tikhomirov began painting when she was 3 years old. She earned a master of fine arts degree and became a professional artist. Beyond being a phenomenal watercolorist as well as an art restorer, she has decades of experience in creating ornamented boxes that now grace the gallery. She creates the patterns on these boxes by designing her own stencils. Tikhomirov then applies a layer of molding paste, which creates raised textures that she will paint with a layer of acrylic color. To give a three-dimensional effect, she paints in small details with other colors. Some boxes are sanded for variety of texture, embellished with crystals and stones and gold and silver metallic paint. For the more elaborate

boxes, she uses imitation gold leaf and silver. One of Tikhomirov’s Russian papier-mâché boxes looks like a real treasure chest, sumptuously glowing with gold, adorned with jewel-colored designs. She attaches small feet to some to raise them up a bit, while others sit flat. Another one of Tikhomirov’s Russian boxes is covered with elegant geometric designs, simple looking but the artist’s attention to detail provides complexity. The interiors of the boxes are painted in a rich, red color, bringing cinnabar to mind. She applies lacquer overall to create a shiny, gem-like surface and like gems, each box is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Gold Country Artists Gallery, 379 Main St. in Placerville, is operating under a temporary schedule and will return to its regular hours when it is safe to gather in groups again. At this time, the gallery is open every day except Tuesday, noon to 5 p.m.

Cal Stage brings live entertainment out in the open California Stage News release

ocal performing arts companies and individual performers present live music, bits and pieces of plays, stirring stories, poems and more for a limited socially distanced audience outdoors at California Stage. California Stage has built a stage in the openair courtyard, 1723 25th Street in Sacramento, with small group, safe-distance seating to host a spiritually resuscitative time for all those getting COVID stir-crazy. Get out of the house and enjoy evening entertainment this summer. Performances start at 8 p.m. Masks are recommended but not required.

Enjoy these upcoming shows: Aug. 15: Lee Williams will emcee a great show, starting with guitarist David Kamminga, followed by the Fenix Dance and Drum troupe and then The Talent Bazaar by Resurrection Theater, where Sacramento Variety Artists from the “unique to the sublime” compete for awards and audience approval. This unique and fun evening caps off with Red’s Blues, sponsored by the Sacramento Blues Society. The band features Beth Grigsby and will have a table for merchandise sales. Aug. 22: Lee Williams will again emcee and the show will open with guitarist David Kamminga, this time followed directly with The Talent Bazaar by Resurrection Theater. But on this night, closing the show will be Todd Morgan and the Emblems, playing pop and rock. Morgan is an accomplished singer, pianist, guitarist, songwriter, bandleader, engineer and producer and, to top it all off, a true showman. Fronting his band The Emblems in Northern California and beyond since he was 16, Morgan performs a mix of modern pop/rock, soul, blues, funk and his first love, early rock ‘n’ roll. Performing great original songs as well as amazing cover versions, Morgan has been nominated for SAMMIE awards three years in a row: Best Pop Band, Best Rockabilly and most recently, in 2019,

Red’s Blues

in the Indie category. In 2015 Morgan’s album “Sweet Pretender” was rated one of Submerge Magazine’s Top 15 Albums of the Year. The song “Running Wild” from that album won West Coast Songwriters’ Best Song of the Year that same year. Morgan’s fourth album, “Move,” consisting of alloriginal music was released this March. Aug. 29: Ray Tatar will emcee, introducing a surprise musical Act at 8 p.m. Then the audience is in for a world-class treat with Jacam Manricks and Friends. Sri Lankan/Portuguese Australian-born saxophonist/composer Manricks was raised in a musical family. His parents were resident classical musicians in the state symphony in his hometown of Brisbane and his grandfather was a famous Portuguese jazz clarinetist and saxophonist in Sri Lanka. As a child Manricks frequently attended his parents’ symphony concerts and was introduced to jazz at home through his fathers’ jazz record collection. Due to these surroundings, Manricks was able to build a diverse musical foundation from a young age that combined jazz and classical music, two genres that continue to influence his music today. Manricks began studying piano at age 5 and the alto saxophone at 9. His formal musical training continued in New York in 2001, culminating with a doctor of musical arts degree in jazz arts from the Manhattan School of Music in 2007. As a saxophonist and woodwind player, Manricks

has performed and/or recorded with some of the most prestigious international artists of our time. Sept. 5: The O’Mally Sisters specialize in bringing the fun. Sisters from another mother, and another father, they found each other on the musical genealogy website — 23 measures and me. Kally plays guitar and handles with songwriting and lead vocals and Ally brings the sweet harmonies and violin. Despite being a duo, they can fill up the room with a sweet sound. They sing songs about dancing, drinking and wild women who break the mold and feel like their gigs are a success when the crowd is having a great time, singing along, dancing or laughing. The O’Mally Sisters have a Smothers Brothers type of energy and humor which resonates well with their listeners. Live shows include a great mix of covers, some Pistol Annies, Allison Krauss, Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, Bonnie Tyler and others. They feature originals with some fun zingers like: “If the whiskey doesn’t kill it, (I’m gonna find what will)” and “He’s too Hot for Me,” a funny song about aiming out of your league.
