Serrano’s latest project would add 51 homes to the El Dorado Hills housing development.

New Serrano Village lives to see another day

Sel Richard Staff writer More than 100 community members showed up in person and online to last week’s Area Planning Advisory Committee meeting to share their opinions about the prospect of Costco coming to El Dorado Hills. Pre-applications submitted to the county this past April were presented for both sections of the EDH 52 parcel. North of Silva Valley Parkway, a 31,000-square-foot retail component will house five casual dining uses, a gas station and other retail services, possibilities include a dry cleaner or nail salon. Previous iterations included a hotel but the proposed six-building self-storage facility was deemed more feasible and will also offer RV and boat storage. Main access will be obtained through a traffic signal midway along the site on Silva Valley Parkway, with secondary access off the future Country Club Drive extension and emergency access toward the south end of the property. Although not yet triggered for implementation, the four-lane Country Club Drive extension will provide a buffer between the site and existing Serrano residences to the northeast. The development will be designed in a Mediterranean style

Sel Richard Staff writer Costco prosposes an approximately 160,000-square-foot warehouse but has eliminated plans for a gas station.

El Dorado County Planning Commissioners voted down official findings for a denial recommendation of Parker Development’s proposed Serrano Village A14 project last week over heated exchanges regarding procedural impropriety. The new 35.78-acre residential subdivision on the east side of Silva Valley Parkway between Russi Ranch Drive and Tong Road would house 51 single-unit residential lots ranging from 3,760 to 10,362 square feet. Three weeks prior, the commission agreed to a conceptual recommendation for denial of the project pending

with earth-toned colors and some stone materials. “Right now we don’t have specific tenants for the north side,” revealed Tiffany Wilson of RSC Engineering, representative of the EDH 52 owner and applicant. “Costco is our tenant for the south side.” Since expressing interest in the area back in 2018, the Costco proposal has changed several See EDH 52, page A4

Oak Ridge High School senior Elise Wu, senior Valeria Xu, Principal Aaron Palm and sophomore Jessica Crannell, left to right, stand in front of complimentary donuts from the ASB to welcome students to the first day of school Aug. 9. Palm said he was feeling good about the year. “It’s going to be fairly normal,” he said.

Oak Ridge High School students returned to campus last week but still get to snag an extra forty winks as Principal Aaron Palm changed school start times to adhere to a recently passed law that mandates all high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. by the 202223 school year. The new schedule, implemented on a modified basis this past spring, includes a daily school start time of 8:30 a.m., over an hour later than in previous years. School ends at 3:30 p.m. with a midday half-hour tutorial period. Mondays, students are in class from 8:50 a.m. to 3 p.m. after a staff collaboration period, 7:45-8:45 a.m. High schools throughout the district are adopting similar schedules. Palm revealed he had been looking

at making the change long before Gov. Gavin Newsom passed the law. More than four years ago Palm discovered the Stanford University Challenge Success program for schools, parents and communities which teaches strategies to help students achieve healthier mental outlooks. “They have 18 years of research showing that late school starts and tutorial periods dramatically improve mental health in students,” Palm said of studies that demonstrate this not only for high achieving students, but for students of all levels. Palm is now an enthusiastic proponent of the later school start time. “I came 180 degrees on the issue. I used to just think that if kids got to get up an hour later, they would just stay up an hour later,” he admitted. For two years Palm conducted parent surveys and n

Oak Ridge junior quarterback Drew Cowart works through drills in practice. The signal caller was the varsity starter last season as a sophomore and passed for more than 700 yards. The Trojans open up the season Friday by hosting Cosumnes Oaks.

Trojans ready for rivals Thomas Frey Staff writer Jake Hall flew down the Oak Ridge High School field with the ball in his hands after intercepting a Granite Bay pass April 9 during the spring football season. The Trojans were desperate for a game-changing play — down 16-3 with the Grizzlies close to striking for another score in the third quarter — and Hall, a sophomore at the time, delivered. The limited fans due to the coronavirus — most of which were parents — sat nervously as Granite Bay was a touchdown away from arguably putting the game away. All night, Hall had grappled Granite Bay ball carriers to the ground for losses. As soon as the Grizzlies snapped the ball, Hall patiently waited while the Trojans’ defensive front and blitzers got to the quarterback in seconds. Hall stood a few yards behind the line of scrimmage and just waited. As Granite Bay quarterback Nicholas Poulos was heavily pressured, he wound up off balance trying to throw the ball away. The senior signal caller threw the ball short to his intended target and Hall’s time arrived.

He stood on his own 20-yard-line and picked off the pass before sprinting into open space for 80-yards and into the end zone, putting the Trojans right back in the game. The limited fans in attendance erupted and for close to a minute, the stadium was as loud as a sold out crowd cheering euphorically. This season, the sold out Oak Ridge crowds that have filled the stands for decades will return. As will a friendly face in new head coach Casey Taylor. Taylor played at Oak Ridge for four years as a fullback and linebacker, graduating in 1988. In 1986 he helped lead the Trojans to the section championship game, where they fell 3-0 to Colfax on a 42-yard field goal in the rain. Taylor returned to Oak Ridge from 1993-99 as the junior varsity head coach for three years and then varn

Slow down on Saratoga

BACK TO SCHOOL

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County supervisors gave the OK to speed restrictions for Saratoga Way in El Dorado Hills as recommended July 27 by the county Traffic Advisory Committee. Based on findings of a Department of Transportation traffic survey, where radar was used to collect data on motorists’ speeds, the committee recommended a speed limit reduction on Saratoga Way from Finders Way going eastward to El Dorado Hills Boulevard. The speed limit will be dropped from 55 mph to 45. Via an 85th percentile speed calculation of 51 mph on Saratoga Way near Finders Way to El Dorado Hills Boulevard, which is .52 miles in length, it was determined a 5 mph speed reduction was justified in accordance with the California Vehicle Code Manual for Setting Speed Limits. The 85th percentile speed is used to determine if 85% of vehicles traveling on a certain road are traveling at or under the posted speed limit. Speed limits are then adjusted to the nearest 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed.

However, expanded commercial and residential access, limited sight distances and a number of pedestrians and bicyclists traveling on the road called for the committee to push for another 5 mph reduction, equating to 45 mph. In spring 2020 Saratoga Way was extended to connect El Dorado Hills and the city of Folsom, increasing the number of vehicles traveling on the road to 9,062 per day.

Meeting notice The El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee is facilitating a virtual meeting for residents at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19, to allow residents the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns regarding the traffic changes along Saratoga Way following the western connection to Iron Point Road in Folsom. El Dorado County Transportation Department Staff will participate to help answer questions, hear concerns and provide feedback to residents with traffic data from an analysis of Saratoga Way. Full details and the meeting links can be found at edhapac.org/august19-2021-traffic-meeting.

official findings to be drafted by staff. In the interim, Serrano Associates Director of Government Relations Kirk Bone met with Commissioners James Williams and Amanda Ross to discuss concerns voiced at that meeting. “I think we’ve come to an agreement on what would be acceptable to us to move this project forward,” Bone revealed. “I see no benefit in denying the project,” said Williams. “Moderate housing options are not enforceable on this project.” Bone agreed to change setback variances for front porches from 8 to 10 feet and remove the 5-foot rear porch setbacks completely to match development standards used in the previously approved Village J7. But Commissioner Cheryl Bly-Chester was adamant that the project’s denial should stand, believing that the conceptual part referred to the solidification of findings. “I made findings at the time,” she insisted. “It was our legal counsel that didn’t want us to act on the fly.” Taking umbrage with the tête-à-tête between Bone and Williams, she accused the two of vote negotiation. “The fact that this was continued to another meeting

to take another bite at the apple, to give the applicant a chance to take James Williams off into a corner and not during a public meeting to discuss things, different options, is I think completely aberrant,” she continued. “For these things to have been going on behind the scenes, behind my back basically, not to mention the rest of the public’s back, I think is completely improper.” Several commissioners disagreed, including Commission Chair Jon Vegna, who assured that such meeting are the norm. “It’s totally appropriate,” he said. “It doesn’t violate the Brown Act and they’re not going behind anyone’s back.” “Applicants are entitled to talk with commissioners if they want to,” agreed county legal counsel Kayann Markham. “The meeting was continued so it technically was not ongoing until today. But when commissioners have conversations with applicants, the best approach is to disclose it and here it was fully disclosed that Commissioner Williams had a conversation with Parker Development.” Williams pointed out his dialogue with Bone was in regard to issues presented during the previous hearing.

“These weren’t new issues that I brought up after the hearing was continued. These were things we all discussed as a commission,” he noted. “The findings are weak to say the least. And if you’ve paid attention to what’s been happening at the board level, you would not support these findings for denial either.” Commissioner John Clerici also chimed in support. “I thought that staff would have a real hard time substantiating those findings. And you know what, they did,” he said. “This thing will go to the supes and they’ll approve it. Why? Not because it’s some transgression against nature or western civilization. It’s that this looks an awful lot like the rest of Serrano.” Findings were denied in a 3-1 vote with Ross against the denial and Bly-Chester abstaining. “I want to be clear that I think this whole process was corrupted,” said Bly-Chester. “I object to the procedure. The way that this was handled and the way that this has gone about is not in the interest of the public; it’s not in the interest of transparency.” The project is continued until the Aug. 26 Planning Commission meeting when it will be opened back up for public comment.

times with the wholesale warehouse club now interested in the land sandwiched between Silva Valley Parkway and Clarksville Crossing. It is on these 17-acres that Costco seeks to house a roughly 160,000-square-foot warehouse, tire center and 761 parking stalls. Costco architect Joseph Welch of MG2 reported that a proposed gas station was removed due to the size and shape of the site as well as community feedback. A structured, underground parking area will house 214 stalls primarily designated for employees and overflow usage while the remaining parking stalls will be at grade with the warehouse. Welch indicated the main point of access that connects the northern and southern sites may require a traffic signal. Two other access points would be located on Clarksville Crossing on either side and one more would enter directly into the subterranean parking level. The parking structure would house a static ramp along with freight elevators. “The point of the parking structure was to minimize the amount of mass grad-

ing,” Welch said. “It was actually the most efficient way to sit on this site.” The parking lot will be paved with concrete and landscaped to mitigate heat gain. Welch specified 36-foot LED light fixtures, a height he said minimizes the number of lamps needed. The warehouse’s proximity to Oak Meadow Elementary School and its potential safety and traffic impacts were among the most emotionally charged issues discussed. Several parents spoke, including Serrano resident and pediatric critical care doctor Heather Siekes. “The leading cause of death for children is accidental death of which motor vehicle accidents and auto vs. pedestrian accidents make up a significant portion,” she said. “Traffic, lights, insufficient parking— all of that needs to be addressed to accommodate the current needs to safely access the school before any further development is considered as commercial development will only make that worse and even less safe.” Siekes comments were met with applause. “It is not necessarily uncommon to have a Costco in the same vicinity as

an elementary school,” noted Welch, referencing Costco’s Redwood City location. “We will definitely take into consideration what that impact is.” Light pollution, noise and wildlife impacts were other concerns presented by community members who advocated respect for the area’s natural environment. The dismay was palpable upon Wilson’s announcement for plans to fill wetlands. Parents also expressed alarm with the gas station on the northern parcel. “Benzene exposure has been linked to childhood leukemia,” Oak Meadow parent Amy Frith pointed out. She asked for more school parking, a driveway extension from Clarksville Crossing and a pedestrian crossing. “If this is going to go in, it must benefit us in some way.” “The current zoning allows for this type of regional commercial project so that’s why we’ve looked at this property,” explained Welch. “We wouldn’t be looking at this property if Costco didn’t have the number of members in this area who would be shopping at this location .... This is for the people of El

Dorado Hills.” The parcel is zoned for commercial regional-planned development (CRPD) as part of the El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. A rezone to community commercial-planned development (CC-PD) is requested for the northern portion of the site, allowing for more community type uses as well as the selfstorage project, which requires a conditional use permit. Small portions of the southern side currently zoned as a transportation corridor and commercial-limited would be rezoned to CR-PD to match the majority of the site, a designation for regional uses located along major arterials serving a larger community. A lot line adjustment is also requested. Both Wilson and Welch maintained the desire for ongoing community engagement, the next opportunity being a scoping meeting Sept. 8, venue as yet unannounced. The final environmental impact report is anticipated for summer 2022. For more information visit edhapac.org.

El Dorado County sheriff’s officials recently recovered stolen memorabilia thanks to unique identifying features. Sheriff’s officials reported that after an El Dorado Hills Business Park building was burglarized, the victim found some of his sports memorabilia for sale online. The victim had the memorabilia professionally graded previously and the grading comes with its own unique set of serial numbers. Detectives later authored and served a search warrant in North Sacramento, ultimately locating some of the stolen property. Currently the case is ongoing. Sheriff’s officials note that it is important to remember that the majority of property are successfully solved due to the items having unique identification numbers. Even something as simple as engraving your name on a power tool can lead to the identification of stolen property.

School student focus groups as well as spoke with teachers and support staff about the issue. Palm cites surveys conducted at Oak Ridge that found 75% of students feel an unhealthy level of stress, 33% of 11th graders report chronic hopelessness and sadness and 17% of 11th graders say they have contemplated suicide in 2019. “These numbers continue to grow every year,” he warned. Schedule changes are required by contract to be approved by the teachers and the initial vote did not result in enough assenting votes to form a quorum. Some who voted against the altered schedule advocated a number of revisions, including moving the collaboration day back to Monday as well as squeezing the schedule to allow the day to end marginally earlier, closer to 3:30. “There are some schools that have gotten rid of their break and all they have is lunch,” Palm noted. “But we’re not interested in that.” The current schedule, which incorporates many of the requested changes, was approved by the ORHS Site Council, faculty and administration. As for the introduction of a tutorial period, Palm said the addition does not make the school day longer. Approximately eight minutes were taken from each instructional period. “In a survey given to the teachers, they almost universally say that the periods are too long. For the last 10 minutes the kids are checked out and they can’t get them to do anything,” Palm told Village Life. Palm explained that the tutorial period will be especially useful for athletes and those who are catching up

Continued from A1 from absences. Teachers could devote the period to students who are falling behind instead of taking lunch and break away from students as well as themselves. “The research is overwhelming that when you create the time to remediate students, give students make-up time, just give them a head start on their homework or give them time to ask their teacher questions on a one-on-one basis, academic performance improves and mental health of the student and staff improves,” he said. El Dorado Union High School District Superintendent Ron Carruth expressed some concern over pushing start times later, particularly for athletic programs during the late fall and winter as days shorten. Aware of the impact the new schedule will have on families and staff, he also pointed out increased overhead associated with bussing. “This is another example of a new California requirement that the state did not provide funding for, as there is a cost to implement the plan,” Carruth said. “In the end, we have resolved most of the challenges and we hope it produces more time for students to get much needed sleep through the high school years.” But Palm is positive about the changes. “There’s not a single thing that we’re implementing that hasn’t been proven by science to be rock solid factual,” he affirmed. “You have someone who’s sick and you hold the medicine in your hand. Why would you not give it to them? Whether we caused it or not, we can have a dramatic impact on improving the situation.”

The teammates recently cleaned up the Jackson bridge section of the trail before kids went back to school. This group utilizes the trail often so they made a commitment to assist in keeping it looking its best.

sity offensive coordinator for four years. For the past 20 years he has made coaching stops at rival Del Oro, where he won a state championship, and then at Capital Christian and Inderkum. When the news came that Eric Cavaliere would be stepping down after more than a decade at the helm of the Oak Ridge Trojans, Taylor accepted the open coaching position. “ I’m excited to be back having an opportunity to be here back at my alma mater where I played and coached,” Taylor said. “I’m really excited for the opportunity and looking forward to the last chapter of my coaching career and I couldn’t spend it in a better spot.” Several stars from the 2019 section championship team and 2020 team graduated, including linebacker duo Hunter Nabors and Ryan Enney, who are both preparing to play collegiately this season. Hall and fellow junior Colin James will be manning those spots this year. “I’m just really excited because me and Colin James both had varsity experience as sophomores,” Hall said. “Now we’re both starting inside linebackers so I’m just really glad that the two inside linebackers on defense both have varsity experience.” Dillon Floden, Bryson Summers, Zeke Zeff and Zach Smith will be some of the lineman up front. “Those are all hard workers and they are gonna be a huge asset for our line,” Hall said. They will be paving a path for a new offense Taylor has installed. “Defensively we will be the same,” Taylor said. “Offensively, we will have very similar philosophies but will be a little bit different, very similar to what they’ve done.” The Trojans begin the season Friday against Cosumnes Oaks and have a plethora of skilled players available. Junior Drew Cowart threw for 712 passing yards as a sophomore last year and recently picked up a scholarship from Middle Tennessee State, where head coach Rick Stockstill has a quarterback teaching background that includes a long stretch as an assistant at Clemson. Reese Catchings also played some quarterback last season and had 224 passing yards and three touchdowns in the season finale against powerhouse Folsom. Against Del Oro April 2, Catchings punished the Golden Eagles defensive front all night and finished with 122 rushing yards and three trips to the end zone. “I think it was good to see all the

Continued from A3 guys who are gonna be returning on the other teams and seeing what kind of competition we’re gonna have this year,” Catchings said. Oak Ridge plays in the Sierra Foothill League, one of the most difficult leagues in California. It features powerhouses Folsom, Del Oro, Granite Bay, Rocklin and Whitney. To prepare for this chapter, Taylor has scheduled a challenging, non-league schedule starting with Cosumnes Oaks and then games at Vacaville, home against Lincoln of Stockton and a trip to Elk Grove before the SFL journey begins at Folsom Sept. 17. “We’ve got our hands full,” Taylor said. “We just really want to compete real hard this first four weeks and kind of see where we’re at. That’s how you get ready for the SFL.” For 15 years Taylor’s teams battled in the SFL while he was the head coach at Del Oro. He had many battles against Cavaliere, whom he coached with at Oak Ridge in the ’90s when they were both assistants. Now they work together again. When Cavaliere announced he was stepping down, he said he would like to eventually coach in some capacity with the team again. That time is now. “He’s kind of doing a lot of football operations behind the scenes,” Taylor said. “I’m so impressed with him. He’s done a great job with the history of Oak Ridge football and the traditions we have. He’s done a great job of keeping that in place.” Several of Cavaliere’s players are still in place, including receivers Sean Dwyer, Sebastian Sutton and Luke Armstrong, who all had more than 100 receiving yards last season. Armstrong has been a standout defender and led the team with 39 tackles last season. Against Del Oro and Granite Bay he combined for 21 tackles. Following Hall’s interception return for a touchdown against Granite Bay, Armstrong caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Catchings to give the Trojans a 23-17 lead before they eventually fell 32-31. Armstrong caught another touchdown pass the following week against Folsom. Taylor said he doesn’t normally name his captains until the week of the first game, but said he will be surprised if Armstrong isn’t a captain. “He’s our main leader,” Taylor said. “He’s the pulse and the heartbeat of the team.” Oak Ridge kicks off at home Friday against Cosumnes Oaks at 7 p.m.

School garden program using nature to nurture foundation board was so impressed with her success at Lake Forest they asked if she could partner with them as a way to extend her gardening program to the rest of the Rescue Union School District — nonprofit Project Green Community was hatched. Using the lunch time garden program at Lake Forest Elementary as the blueprint, families, staff and volunteers recently worked together to revitalize the school garden at Green Valley Elementary in Rescue, what is now the pilot site for Project Green Community. To Johnston, it’s not just about the gardening. She told Village Life she truly believes being out in nature

in the outdoors as “a way to meet the social and emotional needs of the students.” It turned out, it was not just the wandering students who showed up. Kids who usually played on the play structures or basketball with their friends also wanted the opportunity to get their hands a little dirty and help to make the garden a more beautiful space. A few years later, as her son moved to Marina Village Middle School, Johnston would take what she started at Lake Forest to the middle school campus. Once again, students jumped at the opportunity to help plant trees and spread bark; immediately, the Marina Village campus sprung to life. Fast forward to today. Johnston remains part of the Marina PTC and is now the full time garden coordinator. As such, she recently applied for two grants through the El Dorado Community Foundation. After watching “A Day in the Garden,” a video submitted with her application, the

Jana Rossi Staff writer

en years ago volunteer and mom Gina Johnston began a nonstructured lunch time gardening program at Lake Forest Elementary School in El Dorado Hills. Noticing that the campus garden could use some much-needed attention, Johnston had a plan. But sprucing up the garden was only part of it; engaging the help of the students was the other, much larger part. Johnston, who volunteered regularly at Lake Forest during her son Nathan’s time there, often noticed students sitting alone during lunch or wandering the playground, not quite knowing what to do with themselves. She said she saw the unruly garden as an opportunity to not only revitalize the garden, but to open it up to any student who had interest in helping out during their lunch period. Johnston explained she sees working

improves students mental health. “I love bringing in the community and seeing the value of what being outside in nature does for the wellbeing and mental health of the students,” Johnston said, adding she’s excited to be able to reach more students as the program expands throughout the school district. Project Green Community will host its first fundraiser at Lake Forest Elementary in a few weeks. Lemonade and seed packets will be available for purchase so students can start their own gardens at home. For more information or to make a donation visit projectgreencommunity. org.

Supes divided on Heritage; development given go-ahead 1 Supervisor John Hidahl, chair of the board, said it does not belong in an age-restricted community. “It doesn’t make sense to me that when you are 55 and older that we are going to have workforce housing (in the project),” Hidahl said, adding he has no problems with the affordable housing fee and doesn’t think traffic will be an issue. Heritage resident Sue Williams brought up her own issue during public comment — incomplete work on the Heritage neighborhood already built. “Lennar has not done the mitigation of the sound problems; they have not built everything that they said they were going to,” Williams said. “Until they fix everything that they are supposed to, they should not ... start building until they have shown good faith that they can service seniors.” Other comments included concerns about ineffective emergency access, roadway connectivity and the proposed sports park in the senior community. The board negotiated several details prior to approval, including an increase in the community benefit fee from $3,000 to $4,174 and a revision in the Waiver of Claims section that prevents Lennar from requesting reimbursement for construction of Carson Crossing Drive. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo and Parlin voted against the project, with Parlin emphasizing her concerns about water and other issues. Supervisors Hidahl, Wendy Thomas (District 3) and Sue Novasel (District 5) supported it. Sel Richard contributed to this article.

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Heritage at Carson Creek Village 11 in El Dorado Hills, an age-restricted community by Lennar Homes, was approved 3-2 by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Aug. 10. The proposed project, part of the Carson Creek Specific Plan, covers 132-acres and will house 409 agerestricted units with a 3.1-acre private clubhouse site; 1.7 acres are set aside for local convenience commercial, 13.5 acres for open space and 30 acres for parkland. The specific plan amendment converts land use categories from industrial and research and development to residential, as well as increase the specific plan unit cap from 1,700 to 1,925 units. A slight increase in open space results from the conversion. The plan also includes an emergency vehicle route connecting the project either to Wetsel-Oviatt Road west of Latrobe Road or to the Latrobe Road and Royal Oaks Drive intersection. The project and specific plan amendments were presented at the June 10 El Dorado County Planning Commission meeting. Commissioners recommended denial of the project based what they perceived to be incompatible zoning uses, undesirable promotion of certain housing development types, lack of right-of-ways for a connective road to Sacramento County and insufficient driveway lengths. Lennar representatives at last week’s Board of Supervisors’ spoke of the benefits of the project, including its addressing the need for affordable housing, fiscal benefits that include generating $2,000,000 in community benefit and development agreement

Despite a “yes” from the board, supervisors had their own concerns, including the possibility that the county could be liable for a $6.7 mil-

lion reimbursement to Lennar, water consumption, proposed roads not yet mapped out, road congestion and low affordable housing fees charged (each unit was proposed at $500). “$500 a unit is not enough to really do anything,” said District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin. “The last time we built an affordable housing unit, I believe it was $350,000 just for a unit in a project, so I don’t think this is enough toward affordable housing.” The lack of workforce housing in El Dorado Hills was also discussed. While he acknowledged the need for workforce housing (one of the reasons for the Planning Commission’s recommendation for denial), District

Exhibit highlights resilience of Japanese Americans incarcerated during WWII News release

ACRAMENTO — The California Museum hosts an encore presentation of “Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit,” now through Sunday Nov. 7, 2021. First presented in 2015, the traveling exhibition features contemporary images taken by photojournalist Paul Kitagaki, Jr., echoing historic images by U.S. War Relocation Authority photographers who documented the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. Updated and expanded for 2021, “Gambatte” returns with 30 new photographs, audio interviews with some of the subjects and a behind-the-scenes video, highlighting the resilience of Japanese Americans who persevered over their mass incarceration during WWII. Additionally, the first-ever public display of artifacts from Kitagaki’s family’s incarceration at the Topaz War Relocation Center provides new insights into his personal connections to his work exploring the Japanese concept of “gambatte” (to triumph over adversity). “The California Museum is excited to present this second installation of ‘Gambatte,’” said Executive Director Amanda Meeker. “Since its debut in 2015, the exhibition has expanded with new images and content. We’re also thrilled to add personal family artifacts that provide a deeper understanding of Paul’s work and serve as a testament to Japanese Americans’ resilience when faced with unimaginable hardships.” In February 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, paving the way for the imprisonment of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. Responsible for the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, the WRA employed noted photographers of the era, such as Dorothea Lange (18951965) and Ansel Adams (1902-1984), to document their treatment. The resulting 17,000-plus

Senior Finance Assistant – Accounts Payable Salary: $25.92-$31.52/hour FFD: Open until Filled with First Review of Applications on August 30, 2021

The Human Resources Department is currently accepting applications for the position of Senior Finance Assistant in Finance - Accounting. Under direction, organizes, assigns and reviews the work of assigned personnel engaged in financial record keeping, accounts payable and financial analysis; performs duties requiring specialized knowledge; and provides administrative support to assigned supervisor or lead. This is the advanced journey level in the Finance Assistant series. Positions at this level are distinguished from other classes within the series by the level of responsibility assumed, complexity of duties assigned, independence of action taken, by the amount of time spent performing the duties, and by the nature of the public contact made. Employees perform the most difficult and responsible types of duties assigned to classes within this series, including providing technical and functional supervision over assigned personnel and perform the more difficult accounting tasks, including researching information for the preparation of statistical and financial reports. Employees at this level are required to be fully trained in all procedures related to assigned areas of responsibility. Employees at this level may exercise technical and functional supervision over assigned Finance Assistants.erson and over the telephone.

images now are held by the National Archives in Washington, D.C. In the late 1970s, Kitagaki learned Lange photographed his family in 1942 while waiting to board a bus to a detention center. The discovery launched his decadeslong mission to identify, find and photograph as many of the anonymous Japanese Americans recorded in WRA images as he could. “As I examined Lange’s work, I realized each photograph contained the untold story of a family like mine,” said Kitagaki. “The images inspired me to discover how mass incarceration changed the lives of Japanese Americans and to capture their legacy of perseverance and resilience after unjustly losing their homes, businesses and, sometimes, families.” Since then, Kitagaki has shot more than 60 images of Japanese Americans documented by the WRA and their direct descendants. Taken with cameras similar to those used by photographers of the 1940s, his portraits illuminate a dark chapter of American history while capturing the strength and resilience of generations of Japanese Americans. For more information on Kitagak go to kitagakiphoto.com. For details on “Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit” at the California Museum visit californiamuseum.org. The museum is located at 1020 O St., Sacramento.

Nature’s beauty, ‘Little Ladies’ inspire at Placerville gallery D. Lee Reyes Gold Country Artists Gallery

old Country Artists Gallery, an award-winning artists’ cooperative in Placerville, features the work of Annie O’Connell, Carol Quinn and Lori Anderson in August. Meet the artists at the gallery during Main Street’s Third Saturday Artwalk, 5-8 p.m. on Aug. 21. When O’Connell retired from practicing law, she turned her love “Just a Hound” by Annie O’Connell

for other artists’ work to creating artwork that others can love. “It’s one thing to love and collect art — but quite another to create it,” she said. Firmly believing that it’s never too late, her creative journey began with understanding what moved her as an art lover, then learning to draw and paint. O’Connell consistently evolves her style. She is especially drawn to subtle, seemingly simple complexities: tulips, oysters, whiskey glasses, low-keyed landscapes, and … salad? One of O’Connell’s brightest and most energetic paintings is of a jumble of the purples, oranges and greens of veggies and fruits found in “Summer Salad.” The bright, complementary colors are exciting and each look at this painting reveals another surprising ingredient. O’Connell also loves color and animals. With her flair for bringing out the character of her subject in her animal portraits, she may render them realistically or more expressively through vibrant and crazy brush strokes and colors. O’Connell has transcended the personality of “just a dog” in her pet portrait “Just a Hound.” Onlookers might even see this as their dog, if only for a moment, as its endearing expression appeals to their hearts and deep love for these animals. Oil painter Carol Quinn lives in Folsom, where she draws her inspiration, capturing the natural landscapes that surround her. Quinn explains her desire “to share a strong personal connection with the viewer by drawing them in with the comforting feeling of familiar scenery that provides a beautiful respite from a busy world.” Quinn’s oil paintings are distinguished by the glow of a vibrant inner light which makes them come alive. Her style is greatly influenced by

the California impressionist movement of the early 1900s, also known as California plein air, or outdoor painting, which arose from the state’s favorable year-round weather. Her passion and mastery of plein air technique, of capturing the ephemeral qualities of light, is clearly seen throughout her work. Quinn’s skillful brushwork provides balance and symmetry with shapes and texture in a varied palette to create highlights and shadows. In her painting “Ribbon of Light,” a line of grapevines with shadows dance within the pools of sunlight filtering onto the slope below. Quinn said she loves how the strong, golden light of late afternoon and early evening transforms everything it touches. The feeling of late “Afternoon Bliss” is captured in the scene of sheep grazing on a sunlit hillside covered in rich, deep grass and patches of golden flowers cradled between the arms of shadows from the nearby trees. In this pastoral scene, Quinn has presented us with a quiet moment, an “emotional gift” gladly embraced. Anderson said she has always been deeply inspired by the beauty of the world around her and she expresses her passion by creating beautiful artwork. Even the COVID19 shutdowns didn’t slow her down. Taking advantage of the extra time to create artwork in a different media than her beloved oil paints, she started sculpting with clay. Anderson began with figures of dogs and the progression to human figures led her to create her Little Ladies, which she said made the shutdowns more bearable. And indeed, discovering that creating these sweet little statues was a happy thing to do, she decided to keep on going. When she creates them, Anderson explained, she doesn’t think about how they will look. Except for the Frida Kahlo, Donald

Trump and Mr. Carson (of “Downton Abbey” fame) figures she did intentionally, she doesn’t plan ahead. “Mostly, they just show up,” she said with a laugh. “They are completely spontaneous and fun to make.” Some are glazed and kiln fired, but Anderson prefers priming and finishing with acrylic paint for brighter details like the jewelry, hair and dress designs. While she has created many of her small ladies at 6 to 8 inches high, she enjoys making taller ones, too. For example, Anderson made a lady wearing a face mask to greet visitors at the door of her gallery. There is a whimsical nature to Anderson’s Little Ladies. Each one has its own personality and features, quaint dresses and embellishments, and an oldfashioned, turn of the 20th century name. “On a whim I might sculpt a Little Lady with a cat or one holding a fish or a flower.” Her yellow-haired Little Lady “Bess” cradles a goldfish in her hands with a pleased expression on her face. And Little Lady “Sadie” holds a pretty yellow flower, while a tiny black and white cat sits on the hem of her blue dress. Anderson found a way to bring brightness and happiness to the world in a time when things were not so bright and each one of her little works of art can bring that same bit of joy into someone’s home. Gold Country Artists Gallery, 379 Main St. in Placerville, features the work of many awardwinning regional artists working in fields as diverse as fine jewelry, photography, fused glass, collage, wood turning, pastels, colored pencil, scratch board and watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting. The gallery is open every day, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call (530) 6422944 or visit goldcountryartists-gallery.com.

Exhibit fight for redress for the loss of constitutional rights in the 1980s. Artifacts on display include photographs, art, ephemera, crafts and more from the Japanese American Archival Collection

Visit artsandcultureeldorado.org/aroom-of-their-own-application. Artists will receive a confirmation that their submission has been received. Notice of acceptance to the exhibition will be received no later than one week following the submission deadline. The title of the show, A Room of Their Own, is a reference to the seminal essay “A Room of One’s Own” (1929) by Virgina Woolf, which draws a link between the social, political and financial limitations placed on women and the equally tight restrictions to their creative work and prospects for commercial success. Although the essay was written nearly 100 years ago, women artists of all communities still struggle to gain recognition and validation for their creative work. Inspired by the 101st anniversary of Women’s suffrage in the U.S., A Room of Their Own is a nod to the hard work of women past and the continued work toward agency and equity. With this in mind, Arts and Culture El Dorado is taking this opportunity to open the gallery to the myriad creative voices of women artists in the broader community.

Bucky Heard and John Wedemeyer will perform hits at the Harris Center fundraiser Aug. 21.

Harris Center to host reopening fundraiser News release FOLSOM — Folsom Lake College’s Harris Center for the Arts, the Los Rios Colleges Foundation and SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union present a live, outdoor concert fundraiser, The Heart of Rock & Roll, with Las Vegas headliner Bucky Heard and featuring guitarist John Wedemeyer. The concert takes place at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, in a designated parking lot by the Harris Center (10 College Parkway, off E. Bidwell Street, Folsom). Proceeds will support the center’s soft reopening this fall. Heard has numerous national theatrical credits and a reputation as a gutsy rock and roll singer with incredible vocal range, which has garnered critical praise in such reputable publications as The Washington Post and USA Today. He has shared the concert stage with some of the greats, including Andy Williams, Glen Campbell, The Beach Boys (with Mike Love), The Temptations (with Otis Williams), Tony Orlando, Michael McDonald, Jonathan Cain (Journey), BB King and more. In 2016 Heard joined forces with legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icon Bill Medley as his partner in the newly reformed Righteous Brothers. They are currently in their fifth successful year of their residency show at Harrah’s Las Vegas. Most recently, Bucky cowrote and produced 14 original songs for a new musical, “Mike and Mindy’s Wild Weekend Jam,” set to make its Off-Broadway premiere at the Players Theatre in New York City this winter. Wedemeyer has been playing guitar

professionally since age 19. While proficient in a wide variety of styles, John spent much of his early career steeped in blues and roots music recording and touring with blues legends Charlie Musselwhite, Jimmy Witherspoon, Lowell Fulson, Curtis Salgado, John Lee Hooker, Luther Tucker and Bonnie Raitt (to name a few). Later, Wedemeyer spent some time in the “jam band” scene working with ex-Grateful Dead members Vince Welnick and Phil Lesh. Since relocating to Las Vegas in 2006, Wedemeyer has played and recorded with a wildly diverse list of artists including Donny and Marie Osmond, Clint Holmes, Kristen Chenoweth, Debbie Gibson, Michael Grimm (2010 winner of “America’s Got Talent”), Susan Anton, Wayne Newton, Cindy Blackman-Santana, Lucie Arnaz, Martin Nievera, Christine Ebersole, Starship, Aurea (Portuguese pop sensation), Earl Turner, Lani Misalucha, Taylor Dane, Frankie Moreno and David Foster among many others. Most recently, he played and toured with The Righteous Brothers and Zeppelin USA. Together, this dynamic duo brings their audiences soulful renditions of timeless hits that span the decades, including hits by such artists as The Beatles, Ray Charles, Rod Stewart, Roy Orbison, Bob Seger, Simon and Garfunkel, Bobby Darin, Bread, Creedence Clearwater Revival, James Taylor, Bon Jovi, Neil Diamond, Led Zeppelin, The Platters, Elvis and more To purchase tickets visit harriscenter. net/bucky.
