Visitors to the American River Confluence at the Auburn State Recreation Area park parallel along Highway 49.
Parallel parking for Confluence Mountain Democrat Staff In response to safety concerns in the community, a parking area along Highway 49 near the heavily visited American River Confluence in the Auburn State Recreation Area was marked with parallel spaces July 30, according to Caltrans spokesman Steve Nelson. Previously there were no markings designating spaces, with most visitors choosing to back their vehicles in or out and in the process sometimes blocking an already congested Highway 49. That stretch of Highway 49 between Cool and Auburn n

A managed homeless camp is proposed to be located just west of the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville. It could include tents for up to 100 individuals, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities and other amenities. Other services that would be provided by El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Marshall Hospital and The Upper Room Dining Hall were discussed to be provided on site.
Lot next to county jail eyed for managed homeless camp Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Following the June 29 special Placerville City Council meeting on the homeless crisis, where council members agreed to request El Dorado County step in to build managed camps, a conceptual agreement has been met. A meeting consisting of county Supervisors Wendy Thomas and John Hidahl, City Council members Kara Taylor and Dennis Thomas, Police Chief Joseph Wren, Sheriff John D’Agostini and other city and county staff was set to discuss the idea of managed camps. Out of that meeting, came a concept for a managed camp on a vacant lot to the west of the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville with the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office possibly assuming management. At the Aug. 10 Board of Supervisors meeting the concept was approved unanimously, albeit with some questions and concerns on how to move forward. The
“This is a program with merit and we’re willing to give it a try … this is going to take commitment, cooperation and participation from everybody,” — John D’Agostini, El Dorado County sheriff concept was heard at the City Council meeting that same night. D’Agostini attended both meetings to deliver his report and answer any questions about the proposal. “A few weeks ago I had a lady come into my office, her name is Liz Drummond. She had a plan and she laid it out to myself and some of my staff, including our HOT team,” D’Agostini told City Council. The plan is called HOSTESS — Homeless One Stop Temporary Emergency Social Services. “We’re not talking about a nice place,” he said. “We’re not talking about bringing in mobile apartments or mobile housing.” He explained that the camp would be a tent city with bathrooms, laundry and shower facilities, classrooms and other services. “It
is not designed to be a permanent thing,” he said. Drummond, an El Dorado County resident who authored the HOSTESS plan, told the Mountain Democrat she had her assumptions on homelessness challenged a few years ago so she set out to learn all she could about the issue. “There’s no shortage of people’s opinions and organizations (when) it comes to homelessness,” she said. “I decided that I needed to share the (HOSTESS) concept I learned that works with somebody who would be willing to do the heavy lifting. When I brought this concept to the sheriff I told him and his team they were not my first choice, they were the only n

Injured bear cub being treated in Tahoe escapes Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — An injured bear that was rescued from the Tamarack Fire near Markleeville escaped from Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care earlier this month and as of Aug. 11 was still missing. Aptly named Tamarack, the 6-month-old male black bear tunneled under an electric fence and escaped an enclosure. The bear, which had suffered burned paws, did have bandages but he was known to repeatedly remove them, according to LTWC staff.
LTWC has enlisted experienced wildlife search teams with infrared drones and has placed remote cameras that might capture the bear’s activity. LTWC officials said the bear is not in immediate danger and is not a threat but that they would like to locate him as soon as possible. The young bear is too small to survive long term in the wild. Hikers in the South Lake Tahoe Area reportedly spotted Tamarack Aug. 5 climbing up a tree.

Nicholas R. Braun
It is with deepest sorrow we announce that Nicholas R. Braun, age 30, our beloved son, brother, relative and friend passed away on July 20. Nick was born in Placerville, Calif., and attended Cedar Springs Waldorf School, Sierra Ridge Middle School and El Dorado High School before graduating and continuing his work in residential construction. Nick grew up learning the electrical trade from his Dad, working as an apprentice electrician for the family business and then as an apprentice carpenter before joining the Local Laborers Union 185 to pursue a career in excavation and heavy equipment operation. He worked as a journeyman laborer for both Syblon Reid General Engineering Contractors and Neil’s Controlled Blasting and was quickly recognized as one of the most dedicated, willing and hardworking young men to be called in for the extreme and difficult jobs. Already knowing his strength and strong work ethic, he had been affectionately nicknamed ‘Brawnybraun’ by his family from a young age. Nicks entrepreneurial spirit, creative drive and his love of exploring the mountains around him led him to start his own business, Braunbuilt Fabrication, where he specialized in off-road fabrication of custom bumpers, roll cages and complete rock crawler builds for those wanting to take on the challenges of snow wheeling and extreme rock crawling through the trails of the Rubicon and Fordyce in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the King of the Hammers off-road race in Johnson Valley. Nick was an avid explorer of his environment and was never idle for long, always seeking to experience all that he could in each moment of every single day. When he wasn’t working he could be found inventing some gadget or tool, a piece of equipment, planning a new project, welding, caring for his pets, raising chickens, landscaping a yard, gardening, camping, fishing, boating, kayaking, snowmobiling, snowboarding, 4-wheeling, rock crawling, flying drones, gold panning, metal detecting, bowling, helping others with their projects or just spending time watching the Discovery and History Channel with his family, cooking a special meal with them and celebrating the special moments in our lives. Nick was a kind, generous and very loving son whose playful and adventurous personality will be missed everyday by his parents, Christopher and Wendy Braun, best friend and older brother Justin and his wife Tabatha, his soulmate and life partner Justine Siebert, his grandparents Roy Wehr, Patricia Wehr, Paul Nielsen Sr., his aunts, uncles, cousins and his side kick and wingman, Ruger, his dog. Nick was predeceased by his grandmothers, Alice Saldutti-Nielsen, Ann Blanchard-Wehr and his aunt Jodi Wehr and uncle Jeff Wehr. In his last selfless act on Earth, Nick chose to be an organ donor for others in need. He has given the gift of sight so that others may have the chance to see and experience the beauty of this world through his eyes. In memory of Nick’s life, please consider a donation in his name to the Mike Rowe WORKS Foundation at mikeroweworks.org or to your favorite animal charity. More memories and photos can be seen on Nick’s tribute page at greenvalleymortuary.com. The family is planning a celebration of Nick’s life at a future date.

SMUD adding to Union Valley bike trail News release The Sacramento Municipal Utilities District continues to make improvements to Eldorado National Forest campgrounds and other facilities in the Crystal Basin Recreation Area, including the construction of two segments of bike trail at Union Valley Reservoir. The Union Valley Bike Trail segments being constructed are located between Wench Creek and Yellowjacket campgrounds and between Wolf Creek and West Point campgrounds. These new segments will connect to the existing paved trail. Construction should be complete by the end of 2022. Once completed there will be a continuous paved bike trail stretching more than 12 miles around the east and north sides of Union Valley Reservoir, from Jones Fork to West Point Campground. Future plans include an unpaved mountain bike trail on the south side of Union Valley Reservoir. The improvements are part of $150 million in upgrades and enhancements to existing recreation facilities related to SMUD’s Upper American River Project license to operate its hydroelectric power plants throughout the Crystal Basin Recreation Area, mostly around

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?

Also in an effort to reduce congestion, Auburn Transit is offering round-trip shuttles to five key stops around Auburn as well as the Confluence — a plan approved by the Auburn City Council.
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

California Commentary
Fading rule of law in California
B
y now, only the truly delusional deny that California has an acute exodus problem. The number of people and businesses leaving the state is not just significant, it’s quantifiable. A recent study by two Jon Coupal economics professors from Chapman University reveals that those who now categorize themselves as “former” Californians, not surprisingly, were motivated most by high taxation and heavy regulation. But other reasons include those that affect quality of life: Housing costs, unemployment, homelessness, gas prices, wildfire and drought. Worse, residents believe — correctly — that our elected leadership isn’t equipped to deal with these issues. Rising in the polls as grounds for concern is the rapidly increasing crime rate in California. In 2020 homicides in the state increased 31%, reaching the highest total in 13 years. Especially alarming is the wanton lawlessness on display in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Who isn’t appalled at criminals brazenly clearing out shelves in retail businesses — especially drug stores like Walgreens that have closed en masse recently — and nonchalantly walking out with stolen goods, knowing there will be no consequences from the criminal justice system? The frustration among the law-abiding public is reaching critical mass. Recall campaigns have been launched against George Soros-backed district attorneys in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. And those who believe that these recall efforts have nothing to do with the pending recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom may be mistaken. Remember that after voters made clear their support for California’s death penalty, Newsom announced he would never allow any criminal behavior, no matter how heinous, to be the grounds for imposing that penalty. But lawlessness and abandonment of the rule of law is not just taking place in the realm of criminal law. The same is true for civil law, especially when it comes to taxpayer protections in the California Constitution specifically approved by the voters. We’ve been down this road before. After Proposition 13 was enacted in 1978, the California Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Rose Bird, began picking it apart piece by piece. Strange rulings, contrary to the interests and intent of those who voted for Prop. 13, perverted the meaning of its terms including the definitions of “special tax” n

Letters to the Editor Let’s clean up our county EDITOR: n reference to the letter from Brian DeBerry in the Aug. 9 paper, I wrote two letters to the editor a few months ago regarding the same problem. Both letters were published in the paper. I referred the problem to the sheriff of this fair county, asking why we can’t use some inmates in our local jail to clean up roads. We did this when I worked for the sheriff ’s department (worked in the jail) in the ’80s and ’90s and early 2000s. I would think that some non-violent inmates would rather be outside than stuck inside only watching TV and drinking coffee or use the weekenders on the work program. We are a beautiful county and it is looking like trash alley. Maybe we need more residents to get involved and keep writing letters to the powers that be. You can’t tell me that the sheriff does not see the garbage on our roads. So, Sheriff D’Agostini, why not do something during your term that will benefit the residents and others driving through our county? MADILIENE OLIVIER Shingle Springs

Our state is in disarray EDITOR: t’s time California residents get rid of the oneparty rule whose policies and mismanagement have turned what was once the Golden State into a state of disarray. Gavin Newsom’s progressive ideology and policies have put the needs of illegal immigrants and criminals before that of the safety, health and security of California’s taxpaying residents. Newsom wants to release 76,000 prisoners from California jails. Newsom endorsed Proposition 47, lowering penalties for various property and drug offenses. Shoplifters and thieves get a slap on the hand if they steal $950 or less in goods. He endorsed Proposition 57, which offers early parole for good behavior for felons who committed violent crimes, including sex trafficking of children, rape of

an unconscious person, battery of a police officer or firefighter, just to name a few. The Democrats have controlled the state Assembly since 1970 and state government for the last 10 years, resulting in California ranking No. 1 for highest poverty rate and homeless as well as income and gas taxes. California ranks second for worst business climate and, for three years in a row, worst for quality of life. Our state is 37th out of 50 for quality of education and 43rd for fiscal solvency. Over the years, taxpayers have paid billions in water and school bonds that included funding for water storage facilities — with zero results. Are you aware that in 2022 water will be rationed to 55 gallons per day, per person? Our schools have failed our children, but Newsom and the teachers unions (who have donated to Newsom’s fight against the recall) oppose charter schools and school choice. What’s next for California taxpayers? Millions of dollars in reparations. Last year the state Legislature and Newsom passed legislation to form a nine-member Reparations Committee. In June the Legislature crafted a proposal that would see the state (taxpayers) purchase 45% of a home in order to make it more affordable to Black residents. Lawmakers also want to spend $115 million a year for “community based care equity” and racial justice efforts and $63 million for the California Reducing Disparities Act. By the way, when California was admitted to the Union, it did so as a free state. In 2015 Gov. Brown introduced his California Climate Change Scoping Plan: 2030 Target, warning that the climate fight will “cost trillions and disrupt lifestyles.” On Sept. 20, 2019, Newsom signed an executive order directing $5 billion of transportation funding (gas tax road money) to his Climate Change Scoping Plan. The recall of Gavin Newsom is not just about executive orders, lockdowns, elitism and tyranny; it’s about years of bad policy. Californians finally have a chance to have their voices heard. Take the first step to take back California. Vote yes to recall Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, Sept. 14. TERRY GHERARDI Cameron Park

Explaining weird weather and the jet streams
D
id anyone notice it rained during nearly the entire Tour de France? How about a year’s worth of rain falling in three days on Zhengzhou in Henan Province in China? Who ever thought Portland, Ore., and Michael Seattle Wash., would see multiple days of 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit, let alone similar temperatures in Vancouver, B.C.? How about those German towns along the Ahrens River flooding out the first story of several towns, same issue in Belgium? Or coffee growers in Brazil suffering a freeze? The common denominator in these events is the jet stream. “All of these events are touched by jet streams, strong and narrow bands of westerly winds blowing above the Earth’s surface. The currents are generated when cold air from the poles clashes against hot air from the tropics, creating storms and other phenomena, such as rain and drought,” said Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist with the Woodwell Climate Research Center. “Jet Streams are weather — they create it and they steer it,” Francis said.
“Sometimes the jet stream takes on a very convoluted pattern,” she continued. “When we see it taking on big swings north and big dips southward we know we’re going to see some unusual weather conditions.” These quotes came from a Bloomberg Raffety article I read in the Bend, Ore., Bulletin while on vacation. I don’t know why I didn’t save it, but I managed to find it online. I was really struck by the statement, “Jet streams are weather.” What are called omega-shaped curves that look like waves result in a “succession of unusually hot and cold weather systems along the same latitude. Under these conditions winds often weaken and dangerous weather can remain stuck in the same place for days or weeks at a time — rather than just a few hours a day ...,” Francis said. I looked up the current jet stream beforehand and it looked like big Ws spread across the globe. It looked goofy and somewhat menacing. In the winter Northern California looks for a more organized jet stream to bring an atmospheric river into the valley and foothills. When that jet stream is pointed at El Dorado County, we have a good shot of hitting the

I looked up the current jet stream beforehand and it looked like big Ws spread across the globe. It looked goofy and somewhat menacing. average rain year of 39 inches of rain or better. That humongous rainfall in China flooded out subways and flooded streets, leaving cars stacked up at the end of the flooded street. The city of Zhengzhou is a city of 10 million — bigger than New York City. They make iPhones there, among other things. There was a tropical storm on the East Coast of the U.S., but that and hurricanes are standard fare in later summer and fall. So, also are tornados and thunderstorms. That stuff is generated out of the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes and tropical storms actually begin with dust storms in the Sahara Desert in North Africa. When the dust blows out into the Atlantic it can seed rain clouds, thunderstorms and eventually tropical storms or hurricanes. Johannes Quaas, a meteorologist at Leipzig University, said in the same Bloomberg article, “There’s evidence the atmosphere can hold 7% more moisture for every degree of Earth’s warming. Global average temperatures are already 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.” A July 26 article on research by
John Christy and Roy Spencer at the University of Alabama at Huntsville reexamined climate models from 1979-2014 and found the models predicted global warming in excess of what was actually measured by satellite data. “This is where the response to increasing greenhouse gases should be most noticeable,” said Dr. Christy of the bulk of atmosphere. “We found that when the Earth warms, the amount of heat escaping to space is about twice the amount that climate models release,” Christy said. “In other words, this ‘vent’ region in the models does not open up enough to release the extra heat at the same rate as does the real world.” The researchers conclude that the bulk atmospheric measurement also avoids the imperfections that influence scattered surface thermometers, such as lack of coverage, contamination by urban effects and frequent site and instrument changes. So, Earth isn’t going to experience catastrophic warming in 10 years. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

sports Young golfer doing more than ‘putting’ around Jana Rossi Staff writer Drake Wilson has played golf since he was 18 months old. “When I started walking, I started playing golf,” the El Dorado Hills youngster explained. That means he has packed a lot of experience into his eight years — so much so that on Saturday, May 29, he shot a 38 on a ninehole course at Haggin Oaks Golf Course in Sacramento. With that score Drake qualified to play in the IMG Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, July 13-15. It was there, at the Singing Hills Golf Resort in El Cajon, that he shot an impressive 85, 84 and 81 over the three-day tournament, landing him in 38th place out of 67 players from around the world. A first for Drake, said his mom Kelly Wilson, was playing 18 holes in a tournament round. She shared that Drake was happy with his scores. “The course played really long and he couldn’t reach some of the greens in regulation, so he was really pleased with how Courtesy photo he performed.” At only 8 years old, El Dorado Hills resident Drake Wilson is But Drake and his family were making a name for himself in the golf world. not quite done in Southern
California, making their way to Long Beach just four days later where he competed in the national Drive, Chip and Putt competition. There he placed third and was one of 12 participants to advance to the the regionals in Orange County held July 26, where he took sixth. “He really did great,” Kelly said of the Drive, Chip and Putt competition. “He finished third overall in the driving competition, second overall in the chipping competition and first place overall after his first putt.” Setbacks on the green came with Drake’s 15- and 30-foot putts; each went about 6 feet past the holes, earning him only one point per attempt, she explained. The varying speed of the greens from each competition added to the difficulty, something that many adult golfers struggle with. A highlight for Drake was reconnecting with friends he met at the Junior World Championships the week prior. How did Drake’s journey begin? Friend Ish Sodhi, a high school player, asked Drake if he was going to try to qualify for the San Diego tournament. Drake’s mom and dad thought, why not? Golfers

themselves, they have watched Drake over the years improve his game, playing a few times during the week and on Saturdays. Sundays, Drake said, is reserved for church. Drake said he loves the “clink” sound his driver makes when he hits the ball and he really enjoys practicing his flop shot, recalling a time when he hit the top of the flag and shot his ball directly into the hole. To walk the course or drive? As Drake sees it, “Walking is good exercise, but I’m not a fan of exercise so I like riding in the cart so I can rest my feet.” According to his mom, Drake’s a good golf cart driver. Drake fully agrees. This summer’s fun on the course isn’t over yet. Drake continues his golf journey back at Haggin Oaks Aug. 28 for the California State Fair Championship. And Drake may not be the only Wilson getting in on the game of golf at a young age. Baby brother Chase likes to watch and cheer for his big brother. The younger Wilson has taken to grabbing the balls and putting them in the holes, giving a whole new meaning to “pee-wee” golf.

Placerville native part of U.S. Navy exercise Lt. Omari Faulkner Navy Office of Community Outreach NORFOLK, Va. — A Placerville native is participating in the LargeScale Exercise aboard USS Whidbey Island, a U.S. Navy warship that transports and launches Marines from sea to shore as part of amphibious assault operations. Lt. j.g. Brianna Reese, a 2002 Poway High School graduate, joined the Navy five years ago. “I always knew the military is where I was going to be,” said Reese. “I attended air shows as a child and in high school, I joined JROTC and really enjoyed it.” According to Reese, the values required to succeed in the military are similar to those found in her hometown. “I grew up in a military town which taught me to respect our country, and a sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves,” said Reese.

synthetic training capabilities to create an intense, robust training environment. It will connect highfidelity training and real-world operations, to build knowledge and skills needed in today’s complex, multi-domain and contested environment. “During Large Scale Exercise 21, USS Whidbey Island demonstrated enhanced medical capabilities while seamlessly integrating our Fleet Surgical Team,” said commanding officer of USS Whidbey Island, Cmdr. Kristel Anne O’Canas. “This critical mission set will allow a dynamic force employment in the Surface Fleet by expanding medical care capacity across various surface combatants.” Whidbey Island is designed to deliver Marines and their equipment in support of amphibious operations including landings via Landing Craft, Air Cushion, conventional landing craft and helicopters, onto hostile shores. Homeported in Little Creek, Va., Whidbey Island is longer than two football fields at 610 feet. The ship is 84 feet wide and weighs more than n

Miles Celio hands out checks from the family estate to six area nonprofits during a recent event.
Celio family donates more than $2 million to nonprofits
n TUNDRA by Chad Carpenter
Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The town of Meyers has a lot to thank the Celio family for, but on a recent Sunday the family gave their thanks back to the community through donations to nonprofits. When family estate holder Shirley Taylor died in 2020 she asked in her will that more than $2 million of the estate be split between six nonprofits. On Aug. 8 Taylor’s cousin, Miles Celio, invited representatives of the nonprofits to visit the Celio Ranch and gave them checks in a ceremony in the front yard of the ranch house. Checks from the $2.3 million estate were given to Lake Tahoe Secret Witness, Humane Society of TahoeTruckee, Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County Historical Society, Lake Tahoe Historical Society and the Cancer League of South Lake Tahoe. “I don’t know why she chose me to hand out the checks but I’m honored to do it,” Miles said. Taylor moved onto the 103-acre ranch in 1985 and began fixing up the property, which had fallen into disrepair. She lived there until 2004 and during that time she fixed the ranch house and tended to the forest

surrounding the property. “She loved Lake Tahoe and she loved the family history and heritage that she tried to keep alive,” Celio said. The Celio family’s history in California dates back to the 1800s. In 1852, at the age of 19, Carlo Guiseppi Celio and his two brothers, Henry and John, left Switzerland for New York. A year later, Carlo and John, along with John’s wife and son, made the trek to California. Carlo moved to Hangtown (now Placerville) and unsuccessfully tried his luck with gold mining. In 1857 Carlo purchased 800 acres in Nashville (known today as the town of El Dorado) and several dairy cows, returning to his Swiss dairy ranching roots. During the summer he led wagon trains to Upper Lake Valley (where Meyers can now be found) and he fell in love with the area. He returned to Upper Lake Valley in 1863 and moved into an existing house on what is now Upper Truckee Road. He and his wife had eight children, including Taylor’s grandfather Franklin and Miles’ grandfather Benjamin Caesar. Carlo’s son, Armenio, married into the Meyers family and down the line, the Celio family began running the n

horoscope by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). Good communication keeps it all on track. This will involve eye-to-eye contact and double-checking to make sure you hear and have been heard correctly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Is it possible to take your show on the road? The more you get out and see people — especially strangers — the better chance you’ll have at realizing a goal. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Energy — like love — is invisible to the naked eye, though the evidence of its existence is concretely and undeniably represented in the physical world. Action is encouraged. Don’t just feel it; show it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today features whimsical offerings to sate your appetite for excitement and change. Join a trend or set one. Upgrades of the domestic scene are especially favorable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The price tag of what you want may give you a kind of sticker shock, though dollars may not be the real currency to be exchanged. When you want something badly enough, you’ll do quite a lot to get it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). More than one thing will be true at once. You’ll sort through a multitude of options and pick the prettiest ones for a mixed bouquet on the table of your life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It feels like you’re starting over. Maybe so, but building from ground zero is the cleanest and most stable way to start. You won’t have much to work around now. Experience has cleared your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your current venture won’t go to plan, but the choice to make something happen is never for nothing. Everything you make and do teaches you something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you want to know exactly what will happen, stay home. The unpredictable excites. You’ll get out, move, interact, dare, strive and connect. Anything can happen. Anything will. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a hard worker and a wise one too. When it’s time to stop and rest, make sure you have adequate time to do so. To skip that would put your future productivity in jeopardy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It takes courage to put yourself in the crosshairs of judgment. Though you’d rather not leave yourself open like that, the potential for connection requires risking vulnerability. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Love is the container you’ll pour yourself into. Another will do the same to make a mix unique to your relationship, never to be duplicated by any other.

town. The Celios built a small empire in Meyers. In addition to the town they had a lumber mill, a slaughterhouse and their widely successful dairy operation. After the ceremony, the Celios gave attendees a tour of the property, including the “Old House” built in 1921 and the slaughterhouse. During the tour of the slaughterhouse, Miles regaled attendees with stories of the family, including stories his grandfather told him about the cattle drives. He gave a run-down on how the slaughterhouse operated from 1914-44. Family lore says that even though the government seized all meat for World War II, the Celio’s continued to sell meat under the table to Harvey’s. When Taylor died, she passed the property and the family’s history to her cousin Tom and his wife Chris. During the tour of the “Old House,” Chris said the Celio family threw nothing away. She’s cataloging all the family treasures and she shares Taylor’s

passion for preserving their history. There is currently no plan to make the property a historical landmark, but both the El Dorado Historical Society and the Lake Tahoe Historical Society have been working to preserve the family’s legacy. The donations they received from the estate will help them continue to do that. Humane Society of Tahoe-Truckee officials said they will use the donation to cement their spot in South Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe Secret Witness officials said their donation will go toward their school outreach program to help children anonymously and safely report crimes. The Soroptimist Club of South Lake Tahoe is putting its donation toward A Fighting Chance, a cause created in memory of Jaycee Lee Dugard to prevent child abductions. The Cancer League is using its donation to continue providing transportation to and from doctors appointments for cancer patients.

With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. As a member of the U.S. Navy, Reese as well as other sailors, know they are a part of a service tradition providing unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs and humanitarian assistance. Their efforts will have a lasting effect around the globe and for generations of sailors who will follow. “There is something about putting on the uniform everyday, it’s a sense of pride for me,” added Reese. “It remains cool to see the history of the U.S. Navy and how it is tied to my family dynamic.”

turnout, as it did last year. “We had almost three times as many people viewing as we do in person,” she said. TRPA Public Information Officer Jeff Cowen said the Tahoe Summit has been making a difference in the community for years. “The first Lake Tahoe Summit showed how important Tahoe is to our communities, the two states, and the entire nation,” he said. “Convening here annually is important to show the progress being made and to ensure the partnership stays strong. What started as an urgent response to past harms must now become our plan of action for the future.” He said one of the biggest advantages that comes from the summit, as well as the TRPA’s Environmental Protection Program, is the opportunity
for partnerships that further protect the lake and it’s communities. “The growing impacts of climate change, transportation challenges and sustainable recreation and tourism are basinwide problems that can only be successfully managed through partnerships,” Cowen said. The League to Save Lake Tahoe’s Chief Strategy Officer Jesse Patterson said the rise in tourism is another great reason to hold the summit. “Over the past two years, more and more people have realized the benefits of the great outdoors and flocked to the Basin,” Patterson said. “While Tahoe sees four times the annual visitation of Yellowstone, it doesn’t have all the same protections and resources of a national park. The organizations, agencies and governments
here need to doubledown on our efforts to ensure that everyone can enjoy Tahoe in a way that’s sustainable for the environment, and safe for the people who live and visit here. We each have a role to play to protect Tahoe, whether you’re a visitor, resident or elected representative. Working together, we will Keep Tahoe Blue.” Sponsors include Tahoe Fund, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, and the League to Save Lake Tahoe, among others. The full list can be found on the event’s website, Tahoefund.org/2021lake-tahoe-summit/. In addition, Haaland will be the first current secretary of the Interior to serve as the keynote speaker of the event since 2008.

CA-19-863863-JB ORDER NO.: 8756645 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 8/22/2015. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE.

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 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-863863-JB. 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: 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-863863-JB 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10
days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

ushered out of the area July 31 as a precaution due to positive plague tests on chipmunks that had no human contact, said El Dorado County spokesperson Carla Hass. The areas were closed throughout the week and weekend as El Dorado County Vector Control performed eradication treatments. Plague is naturally present in many parts of California, including higher elevations, according to El Dorado County Public Health officials who advise people to be cautious around animals that can carry it. “It’s important that individuals take precautions for themselves and their pets when outdoors, especially while walking, hiking or camping in areas where wild rodents are present,” said Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams in a 2020 press release last year when a South Tahoe resident was the first in five

choice based on who had actually done the difficult stuff for the homeless and for the community.” “We want to help these people and we want to get them all the programs we can to help them,” said D’Agostini. “We’re not going to tolerate the homelessness in public anymore … they can go be homeless somewhere else.” Public comment was mostly in favor of the concept but many had concerns about management of the camp and the location being in the jail’s backyard. Thomas said not every need or concern will be met with this first effort but, “Something has to be done.” Councilman Michael Saragosa noted that in the past a lack of funding had been a roadblock to getting a program like this up and running, but with the American Rescue Plan Act funding this need could be met. He also talked about further need for mental health facilities to address some of the current homeless population. “You’re not going to solve the problem by somebody here in the community providing two to three hours of mental health services a week,” said Saragosa. “This proposal brings all the problems back to the city of Placerville,” said Councilwoman Jackie Neau, adding that the city does need to do its part but

years in California to contract plague. “Human cases of plague are extremely rare but can be very serious.” Plague is an infectious bacterial disease spread by squirrels, chipmunks and other wild rodents and their fleas. People can become infected through close contact with infected animals or the bite of an infected flea. Officials say symptoms of plague usually show up within two weeks of exposure to an infected animal or flea and include fever, nausea, weakness and swollen lymph nodes. “Plague can be effectively treated with antibiotics if detected early,” said USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Spokesperson Lisa Herron. Plague can be prevented by avoiding contact with these rodents and their fleas and by keeping pets away from rodents and their burrows. Human cases of plague are rare.

once the Placerville camp is capped at 100 participants, the county should have another location to start a camp. Councilwoman Patty Borelli asked if people who use the camp wanted to use illegal drugs, which would not be allowed inside the camp, would come into town to partake in illicit activities. “They have to go 1,000 feet away (from the camp),” she said. “Naturally they would do them, partake down there and turn that area into something that I don’t want to see happen.” “Folks who are homeless still have constitutional rights,” said D’Agostini, adding that camp participants would not be allowed to break the law any more than they would be under normal circumstances. “Drugs are absolutely illegal. If they’re illegal, they’re illegal,” said D’Agostini. “If they’re going to go off-site and get their drugs, they better not get caught with their drugs.” Borelli also raised concern that some of the homeless population would be allowed to drink alcohol but not within the camp. D’Agostini said drinking a beer is not against the law and moving forward they would have to consider rules for the camp. “We’re going to be playing that constitutional line very close,” D’Agostini said. “This is a program with merit and we’re willing to give it a try … this is going to
take commitment, cooperation and participation from everybody. We are going to need all of the nonprofits at the table.” Taylor also expressed gratitude to D’Agostini for his willingness to take the program on and thanked Drummond for the work she put into the proposed program. “I feel really hopeful about this,” she said. “I am happy to support this concept. There are certainly details that will need to be forthcoming before we give full approval, but I look forward to seeing those details.” Neau reiterated that she thought the county should also consider other sites for managed camping, prompting an exchange with D’Agostini. “I don‘t want to not have a plan moving forward. I don’t want to have the county just go, oh well, it’s all the city’s problem again,” she said. “We have been dealing with this for 10 years and the county needs to step up and be part of that solution in a bigger way. “Am I hearing you right, Jackie? If I don’t have a plan for over 100 then you don’t want to support it?” asked D’Agostini. “I said I want the county to designate the place for when we’re going to get over 100 people. I know you are optimistic …” replied Neau. “Jackie, the county is not going to do it, just like you’re not going to do it,” said D’Agostini. “This is the best plan we
have moving forward.” “OK, so you’re saying the county is not going to be cooperative? That’s what I’m hearing,” she said. “The county wants to dump it all in the city.” “The county wants to be supportive of this project moving forward, just like I think we’re going to have at least four votes from your council,” he said. “But if you’re asking if this is not going to be successful if we don’t have a plan for over 100, then you’re not willing to take the chance on something that can work. “Nobody is going to give you a commitment that we have a plan for over 100 right now,” the sheriff said. “I’ll tell you, the city has taken all the chances and the city is the one who’s gotten smacked all the time,” she said. “I need more cooperation from the county.” “In my opinion the city is a natural place for the homeless to congregate,” said Thomas. “I don’t think we’re going to avoid that.” After further discussion Taylor made a motion to approve the concept. City Manager Cleve Morris clarified that the plan being discussed is a short-term plan and the strategic plan the county and El Dorado Continuum of Care are expected to reveal soon will offer more longterm goals for housing and services. The concept for the plan was approved by City Council 5-0.
