Dawn Hodson Staff writer Despite opposing views among board members and objections from the public, on a 3-2 vote the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors voted Monday to approve piping the Upper Main Ditch, also known as the El Dorado Canal. A 3-mile ditch that runs through Pollock Pines transporting water from Forebay Reservoir to the Reservoir 1 Water Treatment Plant, the ditch conveys onethird of EID's water supply, providing water to customers from Pollock Pines to El Dorado Hills. A part of the area’s Gold Rush era history, local residents prize the canal as a community recreational and ecological resource, as a fire break and a source of water for wildlife, ground vegetation and surrounding trees. EID officials, on the other hand, views the open ditch as a potential liability. During a presentation Engineering Director Brian Mueller explained the open ditch is a source of contaminants such as coliform (microorganisms), e-coli (bacteria) and turbidity (cloudiness), which increase the cost of treatment. Other potential sources of contamination are the septic systems and leaching fields of adjacent homes. In the past items found in the ditch have included dead human and animal bodies, batteries, bikes and, in one case, an unknown substance pumped into it from a rental truck. Piping is expected to eliminate those sources of contamination and the extra chlorine needed to treat them — something customers sometimes complain about tasting or smelling in their water. n

EDC’s sales tax revenue down 15.9% News release Auditor-Controller Joe Harn recently posted to the county’s website the El Dorado County Sales Tax update for the quarter ending March 2020. The report indicates the county’s sales tax revenues dropped by 15.9% compared to the same time period in 2019 on a cash basis. This decrease is attributed to late or nonexistent payments by approximately 400 businesses. The state authorized many, but not all, of these 400 businesses to pay and report up to 90 days late. Further, in March 2020, the county issued a shelter-in-place directive that caused gasoline sales and restaurant sales to decline. On the bright side, revenues from online shopping increased significantly. The county’s sales and use tax consultant, the HDL Companies, estimates that when all the late-filing businesses do pay, the revenue drop for the quarter will be approximately 2.1%. It is important to remember that a number of the 400 businesses that did not file on time have closed permanently and will probably not pay the sales tax that is due for the second quarter. Further, the state’s mandated restrictions on economic activity have adversely affected sales tax collection in the second and third quarters of 2020. The report can be found at edcgov. us/Government/Auditor-Controller/ Documents/Sales%20Tax/Sales%20 Tax%20Report%202020-Q1.pdf.

Marina Village Middle School band students are socially distanced as the study music in Ben Cain’s class. While students can’t play instruments at this time they were given the option to return to school for in-person learning.

A
s Friday marked the end of an unprecedented first week of school, an unusual sight started the morning. Every single student arriving at Marina Village Middle School is masked. “Learning incoming sixth-graders’ names is hard when all you see is their eyes,” admitted Principal Levi Cambridge. “I’m relying a lot on hairstyles right now.” It is Cambridge’s third year at the middle school, but in his 20 years in education he said he has never seen anything like what’s happening now. Marina Village is one middle school within the Rescue Union School District, which has opened up this school year offering both distance learning and a hybrid option for students. “It’s been a big shift but our staff has such a desire to provide an excellent program and to support students that they’re working really hard and doing a great job,” Cambridge said. “They’re being innovative and creative and our students are happy to be here.” Only 25% of Marina’s students chose the distance learning option with the bulk of the school population spearheading the program that has the students broken into a morning and an afternoon group, keeping classes small to allow for social distancing. P.E. and band classes have larger numbers as there is more room for kids to spread out. Students spend half a day in school only going to half their classes, alternating daily with another half-day going to the rest of

the classes. The other half of their day students are at home learning online. “There are certain things you can’t do,” explained Cambridge. “You can’t do the collaborative work that kids are used to. The students don’t have all their friends here because we’ve split them up into two groups so they miss out on some of that.” But it’s not all bad, according to the principal. “What’s interesting is that there are a number of advantages that I see with this program,” he continued. “We’ve got smaller classes so there’s a little more one-on-one time for teachers to address issues. It’s a pretty cool silver lining to be able to say that. You can get more specific to a student’s needs because you’re not dealing with as many students in a room.” Band teacher Ben Cain is thrilled to be back. Although playing most instruments is disallowed at school, he encourages his kids to play as n
11 STUDENTS AND TEACHER QUARANTINED A Lakeview Elementary School fifth-grader who attended in-person class at the El Dorado Hills school last week has tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in the student, 10 classmates and the teacher being quarantined and expected to return Sept. 2. Lakeview is one of seven schools within the Rescue Union School District, which currently has 2,700 students enrolled in its hybrid learning program. With half the students attending in the morning and half in the afternoon, each class is no larger than 15 students. The other 800 students in the district attend a fully remote curriculum. Parents informed the district Sunday that

News release After a bat recently tested positive for rabies in South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County Public Health and Animal Services officials remind residents and visitors to take precautions to prevent rabies. El Dorado County is an officially declared rabies endemic area, as are all counties in California, according to Chief of Animal Services Henry Brzezinski. “This means rabies is always present in our county,” said Brzezinski. “Every year we find rabid animals here so vigilance is important.” The bat was discovered at Pope Beach in South Lake Tahoe Aug. 14 by two individuals who saw the bat in the water and attempted to assist it. The situation was reported to Animal Services staff who retrieved the animal and received laboratory confirmation Aug. 19 that the bat had rabies. The individuals exposed to the bat have initiated post-exposure treatment. Rabies is a virus spread through the bite and saliva of an infected animal. It is usually fatal to pets and humans if not treated shortly after exposure. Although most

mammals can become infected with the rabies virus, bats, skunks and fox are most commonly the animals found to have the virus in California. Comprehensive rabies vaccination programs in the United States have meant that rabies among domestic pets is uncommon. To prevent the spread of rabies: • Maintain current rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats and livestock • Don’t approach an animal that seems sick or aggressive; report it to Animal Services • Never approach, pick up, feed or handle unfamiliar dogs, cats or wild animals • Don’t touch a dead animal with bare hands • Immediately notify Animal Services if you find a bat alive or dead in your house • Call Animal Services if an animal shows signs of rabies (such as staggering, confusion or aggressive behavior) • Notify Animal Services immediately if a person or pet is bitten or exposed to a suspected rabid animal • Keep property free of garbage, stored bird seed and leftover pet food to avoid attracting wild
animals • Keep pet doors closed at night to prevent entry of wild animals into the home In 2019 Animal Services identified five animals in El Dorado County (four skunks and one bat) that tested positive for rabies. Historically, most rabid animals in El Dorado County are identified on the county’s West Slope, with smaller numbers reported in the South Lake Tahoe area, according to Brzezinski. “One thing to look for with rabies is unusual behavior of the animal,” said Doug Petri, Supervising Animal Services Officer in South Lake Tahoe. “Although bats and skunks are generally nocturnal animals, seeing them during the daytime does not necessarily mean they have rabies. However, if an animal is acting sick, appears to be injured or is behaving aggressively, please call Animal Services.” For more information about rabies or Animal Services visit edcgov.us/animalservices. To reach Animal Services by phone call (530) 621-5795 in Placerville or at (530) 573-7925 in South Lake Tahoe.

BUSINESS Cross the road for a tasty fried chicken dinner in EDH Sel Richard Staff writer
“W
e dig mom-and-pops,” declared Nick Dedier III, co-owner of El Dorado Hills’ Milestone Restaurant. During a time of economic uncertainty for many, he and his fiancée, Milestone co-owner Alexa Hazelton, are not only thriving but have decided to open a second restaurant in Ruffhaus Hot Dog Co.’s former digs. Dedier and Hazelton opened Milestone in November 2015 and have been itching to doing something new for several years. “We’ve realized that we’re creative and we love building — feelings and spaces and menus and gathering points,” explained Dedier. “We love that creation part of it.” Their new restaurant, dubbed Mom and Pop Chicken Shop, will present a limited menu family friendly fare. Hazelton assures the salad and sandwich offerings are reasonably priced with both fried and grilled options. Along with the chickencentric choices, an ahi tuna (Chicken of the Sea burger) and beef burger are available for patrons not in a fowl mood. But Dedier predicts the chicken sandwich and box of fried chicken will become fast favorites, describing the cuisine as “badass and delicious.” The restaurant will offer modified counter service, with patrons ordering at the counter. Food will be brought to the table and additional drinks can be ordered from a server. Five outside tables will allow coronavirus friendly al fresco dining. “Above all, it’s fun,” said Hazelton, revealing that the menu includes the fulfillment of her longtime desire to list donuts as dessert. “There’s a chicken-shaped disco ball, pink and yellow lights and we did a concrete mural of Yosemite where we got engaged,” described Dedier. “It’s really personal. It’s that thing you’ve always wanted to do.” The new restaurant is slated for a late August soft opening. Dedier and Hazelton will bring with them Milestone alums Viktoria Root as general manager and Keenan Meyer in the kitchen. Although Mom and Pop Chicken Shop will be different from Milestone in almost every way, Dedier insists the high quality of service will continue. “People love the brand of Milestone because it’s community-oriented, loving, fun, kind and welcoming. Those are the tenets that will continue,” he said. “Our mission statement at Milestone is ‘build

We don’t cash it out and take mega-vacations or buy a third home. We don’t operate on credit and we’re really frugal.” “We’ve always operated like that and that’s really what saved us,” added Hazelton. “We’re doing so much of it ourselves and ... it’s very small compared to Milestone so we’re able to do it quickly and cost effectively enough to get it open in a very short time period. “We take care of our community,” she continued. “Ultimately, we like to see people happy. It’s hard to see everybody struggling. Where we can, we will; that’s generally our philosophy of hospitality. So this is kind of an expression of that.” Check out the upcoming eatery at chxshp.com.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
FURTHER COMPLICATIONS Dentists and other health professionals already know that there is a relationship between poor oral hygiene and increased rates of disease, especially heart disease. More recently, they have also come to understand that gum disease (periodontitis in particular) can accelerate type-2 diabetes complications. Because periodontal disease is a risk factor for developing type-2 diabetes, patients who already have periodontitis (the most severe form of gum disease) should be concerned about their increased risk of developing serious complications from diabetes such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Research shows that when combined with diseases that are already often seen together (such as type-2 diabetes and hypertension), severe periodontal
disease can increase the chances of having a heart attack. Because we are part of your healthcare team, we are concerned about all aspects of your health, especially as it relates to periodontal disease. If a medical condition comes to our attention during a dental exam, you can be sure we will discuss the issues with you as well as any other healthcare provider if you wish us to. We bring you our dental column as a way to inform our friends and neighbors here in Placerville of the many benefits of professional dentistry. For gentle dental care for the family, please call us for an appointment. P.S. Periodontitis presents pregnant women with an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Mueller said piping the ditch will save an average of 1,800 acrefeet of water per year that is lost to seepage and evapotranspiration and will help the district meet water conservation mandates from the state. It will also reduce the risk and liability of operating an open conveyance. Initially EID planned on installing the pipe within the existing ditch but after input from the public, the board voted for the Blair Road alternative in which 1,500 feet of the pipe will be within the existing ditch, 2,600 feet will traverse cross-country terrain and 8,200 feet will be located within the Blair Road public right-of-way. Additional fire hydrants will also be installed. The project is estimated to cost $15.4 million.
Save the El Dorado Canal The project has been met with resistance from residents since first proposed. A local group called Save the El Dorado Canal filed a lawsuit against EID challenging the environmental impact report for the project. Their petition was subsequently denied with an El Dorado County Superior Court judge finding EID had complied with CEQA. The judge's ruling has since been appealed to the Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District. That
appeal may not be heard for a year or so, according to EID General Counsel Brian Poulsen. Mueller said the appeal does not preclude the district from constructing the project. Directors Lori Anzini and Alan Day raised objections to the project with Anzini expressing concern neighboring property owners were not sufficiently included in the process. She advised postponing the project until the appeals process was completed. Day called it a "sad day in EID history" as he too recommended going through the appeal process before moving ahead. He also objected to how much the project had increased in cost and the district's inclination to "spend, spend, spend." President George Osborne reminded Day that he had previously approved spending $42 million on new pumps for Folsom Lake to ensure people in Day's district have clean water. "People have known about this project for a long time,"
Osborne said. The board was also told that delaying the project would raise its estimated cost by $400,000 a year.
Public opposition The presentation and board comments failed to change the minds of those writing, emailing and calling into the meeting. One Pollock Pines woman told the board the canal saved her home during a fire. She worried piping the ditch would deprive nearby trees of water, increasing fire risk from dead trees and increasing her fire insurance, which she said had already increased nine-fold. Jeff Leddy, a professional forester and resident of Pollock Pines, asserted the EIR on the project wouldn't stand up to scrutiny and the canal helps reduce the spread of wildfires. Agreeing with him was Camino resident Sue Taylor who said she thinks the appeal will win in which case EID will have to provide restitution for the damage done by
the project. Other callers also urged the board to wait on the appeals court to rule and until after the November election in which two EID seats will be decided. Director Pat Dwyer motioned to move forward with the project, saying delaying the decision was not the right thing to do. Director Michael Raffety seconded the motion. Director Anzini proposed a different motion — one that would delay the project until after the appeals process was completed. That motion only garnered the approval of Anzini and Director Day with Osborne, Dwyer and Raffety voting no. The first motion to approve the project and move ahead was then voted on and passed with Osborne, Dwyer and Raffety supporting it and Day and Anzini voting no. Initial work on the project will begin in September with the project expected to be completed by May 2022.

California Matters
State tech failures hit home again
W
hile marking time as lieutenant governor, Gavin Newsom wrote a book about how technology could transform government. “I want to make government as smart as Google,” Newsom told an interviewer after the DAN WALTERS book, “Citizenville: How to Take the Town Square and Reinvent Government,” was published in 2013. While technology “is flattening major institutions” and transforming how Americans shop, communicate, research and keep abreast of current events, Newsom said, “Government as an institution is not prepared for it” and is struggling even to keep decades-old systems functioning. He specifically cited the state Department of Motor Vehicles as a prime example of how California, the technology capital of the world, failed to implement that technology to make government more accessible, responsive and efficient. “We’re sitting there with systems that can collapse at any moment,” he said. “We are on the cutting edge of the 1970s.” All true — and the state’s failures to improve information technology have An embarrassing slammed home glitch in reporting with a vengeance COVID-19 infection during the early months of Newsom’s data is the latest governorship. in a long string of First, as he warned, state information the Department of Motor Vehicles technology failures. virtually collapsed. Then, as he shut down much of the state’s economy to battle the COVID19 pandemic, the Employment Development Department’s own antiquated technology rendered it incapable of handling a flood of claims for unemployment insurance benefits. Another technology meltdown occurred this month in the Department of Public Health, failing to accurately track COVID-19 infections and embarrassing Newsom when he heralded — falsely, as it turned out — a 21% drop in daily cases. Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s health and human services secretary, insisted that neither he nor Newsom knew about the backlogged test data until after Newsom’s Aug. 3 telecast in which he cited the infection decline. However, news outlets soon reported that as much as three days earlier the Department of Public Health had warned local health officials of the data problems. The backlog of test results was, Ghaly said, caused by technical changes made after a server crashed, combined with the state’s failure to renew

Letters to the Editor John Hidahl — leadership for all EDITOR: s a local activist, advocate and volunteer, I find it extremely encouraging that we are fortunate enough to have El Dorado County Supervisor John Hidahl running for reelection in District 1. I advocate for low-income seniors, veterans and disabled, as well as affordable housing and homelessness, and John’s continued support, along with his countywide efforts to establish housing for all is impressive and desperately needed in El Dorado County. We have close to a 3,100-unit housing shortage, which has not been addressed until recently and which leaves us vulnerable to financial penalties by the state if we do not address this shortfall. John Hidahl gets this and has worked tirelessly to effect change by understanding the complex issues surrounding the current housing shortage. He possesses a rare combination of pragmatism, passion and wisdom, with a track record that shows a willingness to do the research, assimilate the information and then turn it into positive action. I urge voters in District I to please reelect John Hidahl; his leadership is what is needed to make El Dorado County a better place to live for all. TAMARA JANIES Pollock Pines

Postal service and you EDITOR: y now the cat is well out of the bag. Donald Trump believes, rightly or wrongly — the data on this are unclear — that voting by mail will be fatal to his hopes of re-election. He lives in fear of a heavy turnout and has claimed that with mail voting no Republican will ever get elected again. So after exhausting all the usual forms of vote suppression, including persuading a mentally impaired Kanye West to get on the ballot for president in Wisconsin and Colorado to hopefully siphon off minority voters from Joe Biden, he has now threatened to destroy the U.S. Postal Service in his cynical quest for votes. What does that mean to you? Well, he has installed one of his filthy rich guys (“donors”) as postmaster general. This guy has instituted new rules so that workers will process mail more slowly.
B
You will pay the price if you use the mail to have drugs delivered on time or Social Security checks or payment for goods sold if you have a small business or money owed you or letters from friends and relatives. Your own bills may be paid late, incurring a late fee. The postal service will be continually starved, as Trump has stated his intention to push it into privatization and to quadruple postal rates in all, a betrayal of the American people and the postal service that has woven us into a unified country since 1776 and that is specifically authorized in the Constitution. Without the postal service running at top speed this will never be the country we all expect it to be. RONALD LANNER Placerville
More EID wasteful spending EDITOR: n Aug. 10, less than six months after committing spending for an extra $14 million cost to add 50 percent additional pumping capacity to the El Dorado Irrigation District’s raw water intake from Folsom Lake, EID’s management team asked the EID Board of Directors to approve spending to move point of diversion upstream for much of the same 17,000 acre-feet of water rights. To be sure, adding upstream diversion points for 17,000 acre-feet of water rights adds valuable system-wide flexibility to EID, presents operating cost advantage and makes good sense. But given EID management’s plans to move the diversion point for most of this water, its spending an extra $14 million to increase pumping capacity from Folsom Lake far beyond current customer needs was contradictory. EID management’s failure to coordinate these two projects has wasted another $14 million of ratepayer money. This is far from the first time that flawed management planning and nonsensical demand forecasting has cost ratepayers many millions of dollars and unnecessarily excessive rate increases. EID ratepayers would not be facing 17 percent of already board-approved commodity water rate hikes in January 2021 if EID’s general manager

size for the item I was mailing. In my concentration, I didn’t notice Leo doing his own box assessment. When I finally looked up, there he was. Using an adjunct of his superpower, he’d sussed out exactly which box I would want, then sque-ee-e-zed himself into it. Now, I can’t imagine you haven’t seen a cat (or a photo of one) crammed into a box it’s really too large for. So you know what I’m talking about. Cats use this cat-in-thebox ploy to amplify their superpower, sometimes by as much as 10 orders of magnitude. As a result, it’s humanly impossible to remove a cat from a box, once you’ve seen how adorable he looks there. I made do with a less-perfect-size box for my mailing. Under the force of my cat’s superpower I’ve even found myself compromising my own safety. The design of my shower is such that exiting it requires a tricky step over the side of the bath and onto the nonskid mat I’ve placed there to make the whole enterprise at least somewhat safe. And, if I’ve forgotten to shut the bathroom door so Leo can’t wander in while I’m showering, guess who will
be curled up right on that mat? Even though there are three other, fluffier mats to choose from? How can I safely exit the shower now? Surely I must drip water down on his head until he moves out of the way? Of course not. His superpower is at full throttle so all I can muster is, “How adorable! Leo wants to be near his mommy.” (Yes, I do actually talk to myself like that.) Then I step over him awkwardly, trying not to trip. So many other examples I could share. Leo in the clean-laundry basket; Leo on the bed, next to the stack of freshly washed, folded sheets; Leo nestled in the bathroom sink; Leo planted on top of our wicker recycle bin so we can’t use it. And on and on. Sometimes, when I’m at my wit’s end, I grab him from behind before he can target me and pin him to my ribs, preparing to give him a real talking to. And that’s when he brings out his big gun. He starts purring. Jennifer Forsberg Meyer is a columnist with the Mountain Democrat.

a certificate required to receive data from Quest Diagnostics, a commercial testing lab. California did not receive Quest data from July 31 to Aug. 4, leading to the erroneous belief that COVID-19 cases had declined. “We are doing a complete look into how that communication could have been better and where it went wrong ...” Ghaly said. “The governor has directed a full investigation of what happened and we will hold people accountable.” Aug. 9 The director of the department, Dr. Sonia Angell resigned and while no reason for her departure was given, it gave the appearance that she was walking the plank for an embarrassing failure to communicate. Newsom danced around reporters’ questions about Angell’s resignation, but left the impression that she was ousted. “At the end of the day the buck stops with me,” he said. “We’re moving on.” Newsom also acknowledged, without prompting, that the COVID-19 data failure is part of the larger crisis the state faces not only in functioning with outdated technology, but its chronic inability to bring updated systems on line. There’s a long list of failed or partially functional new systems that have cost taxpayers billions of
dollars, the most notorious being a statewide system for tracking financial data called FI$CAL. “It just has not been an area of deep focus,” Newsom said, adding that successful updates “require a stubborn, long-term effort” and declaring that despite lapses in previous administrations, “We are now accountable.” Accountability is great. Improvement would be even greater. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you challenge yourself, you discover yourself. If you wait, the world will do it for you, but it won’t be the same kind of challenge -- not as specific, not as interesting. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Maybe it wasn’t your quest to be extremely attractive inside and out, but it happened anyway -- a benefit of tending to the important things, serving the people around you consistently, making pleasantness your job. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It really doesn’t matter whether you do a thing alone or with lots of help. What matters is getting this thing done and in the bag, so to speak. You may as well accept whatever help you are offered. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Attempt to debunk your own theories. Most mistakes, be they personal, professional, financial or other, are mistakes of ego. Leaving oneself unchecked is arrogance. Instead, ask, “Could I be wrong?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Of all the things you could rail against, one of the most futile is that of human nature, which is indomitable, illogical and wildly successful. Since human nature often wins out, it makes sense to work with it, not against it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel successful when you are lifting others, creating ease in the world, building beauty, contributing to health, breaking down barriers to emotional sunshine.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If the person who’s the best is also the worst, maybe it’s love. Love is a 3D experience. If you’re getting the good, bad and ugly, then you’ve brought a person all the way into your heart -- no angle left behind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Plow ahead while your energy is high. You’ll feel like taking detours, following distractions and generally going your own way, but don’t. Where deep focus meets high energy, there’s exciting progress to be had. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Not every debt has to be paid back. Sometimes people give to you out of a deep need to contribute. The usefulness they feel in that moment fulfills the transaction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The complex problems beckon you today, and you’re uniquely qualified to take them on. Note that you’ll likely need to look at the situation from a dozen or more different angles before it starts to make sense. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re more open to new experiences than most people, and because of this, you’ll find yourself in a colorful place today, if not physically then at least intellectually or virtually. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Without the evil queen, there is no fairytale. Every superhero needs a nemesis. In other words, someone has to be the bad guy, and if it’s you, don’t sweat it. There’s an advantage in disagreement.

Day hiker Independence Trail tribute
M
y dear hiking friends, we’ve lost one of the greats. But fire doesn’t necessarily destroy a trail. It definitely changes it. The history that was such a part of Independence Trail in the South Yuba River State Park in Nevada County is gone but it will have a new life. The Jones Fire that began overnight Sunday into Monday morning, Aug. 17, was caused by a lightning strike to thick vegetation and timber in the area of Jones Bar Road and Newtown Road in Nevada County. The fire smoldered and began to spread. It was very difficult access in steep terrain for firefighters. They went in and made a valiant effort but the old flumes couldn’t withstand the flames. The flumes have been around since mining days and had been in disrepair often over
Mary West Outdoor columnist the last several years. But still we went. We hiked. We enjoyed the history. We enjoyed the sounds of our hiking boots across the wooden planks on the flumes. We enjoyed the switchbacks that took us down to the creek. We stood and watched the waterfall. We enjoyed the springtime flowers, the shade in the summer, the color in the fall and the cool of winter. It’ll never be the same. But now we’ll have a new trail — a new Independence Trail — and once it’s safe to hike I hope you’ll put it on your to-do list.

Museums mark passage of the19th Amendment Traci Rockefeller Cusack Sacramento Association of Museums
S
acramento area museums are proud and excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees and protects women’s constitutional right to vote. Although most museums remain closed due to COVID-19 restrictions (except for some outdoor activations), many planned exhibits have pivoted to a digital format, at least in the short-term. A sampling of some of the special activations offered by local area museums to recognize the significance of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment includes the following: California Museum — The California Museum is honoring the 19th Amendment’s 100th anniversary through a series of new online programs developed in collaboration with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the state’s official representative in the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission. On Aug. 18 — 100 years to the day Tennessee became the 36th and final state to ratify the 19th Amendment — the museum streamed the webcast “California Women Inspire: Celebrating Women’s Equality in the Golden State.” Hosted by Siebel Newsom, the event featured discussions on women’s equality with former First Lady Maria Shriver, Megan Rapinoe and Dolores Huerta, along with previews of the museum’s two new exhibits marking the women’s vote centennial, “Women Inspire: California Women Changing Our World” and “Fight for the Right: 100 Years of Women Voting.” The webcast may be viewed online at californiamuseum.org/ca-women and selections from “Women Inspire: California Women Changing Our World” are available at californiamuseum.org/wi-online. On Aug. 26 the museum will launch an online version of “Fight for the Right: 100 Years of Women Voting” at californiamuseum.org/womens-vote-100online and participate in #ForwardIntoLight, a nationwide initiative celebrating the suffrage centennial by lighting landmarks, buildings and institutions in purple, yellow and gold. For more details on the campaign visit womensvote100.org/ forwardintolight. California State Railroad Museum — The
California State Railroad Museum & Foundation are proud to debut a new digital exhibit titled “Crossing Lines: Women of the American Railroad.” The compelling exhibit shares stories about the lives and roles of trailblazing women associated with the railroad industry. The goals of the all-new exhibit are for online visitors to gain a heightened appreciation for the role of women railroad workers and also experience a sense of empowerment and inspiration based on the considerable contributions women made to the railroad industry and society in general. Available digitally for now, the important new exhibit will remain on display permanently once the museum reopens for visitors. To view the digital experience visit californiarailroad.museum/crossing-lines. Sacramento History Museum — To recognize the milestone the Sacramento History Museum recently launched Museum Mondays to celebrate 100 years of women’s right to vote. To tune in to the program visit facebook.com/ SacramentoHistoryMuseum. Plus, the history museum created hands-on videos about how to make a paper or ribbon rosette (also known as political lapel pins of yesteryear) used to show patriotism, support the troops, stand for a cause, show rank or declare loyalty through the use of different colors, shapes and emblems. The demo videos are available at youtube.com/ watch?v=7vPo-884UKU and youtube.com/ watch?v=51uKi1f-8ik. For more information about upcoming activities offered by Sacramento area museums, “like” them on Facebook at Facebook.com/SacMuseums, follow them on Instagram and Twitter @ SacMuseums or visit the user-friendly website at SacMuseums.org. Those interested can also sign up for emails to learn more about Sacramento Area Museums via the website at sacmuseums.org. Comprised of 30 greater Sacramento area museums working in partnership with Visit Sacramento, SAM’s mission is to raise awareness of local museums by giving the community the opportunity to discover the region’s fine art, history, science and wildlife treasures. SAM achieves its mission through implementing cooperative promotions and developing strategic marketing alliances, by encouraging sharing of knowledge and resources among its partner institutions.

otary Club of El Dorado Hills’ meetings might look more like “The Brady Bunch” intro these days but its mission has not changed — serve the community. Members have missed gathering for breakfast every Wednesday morning but they haven’t let their meal funds go to waste. For the last several months money that would normally pay for eggs and bagels instead went to The Upper Room Dining Hall in Placerville, which serves the homeless and anyone else who needs a good meal. Food is served 365 days a year. Honorary EDH Rotarians and the expert chefs behind West Coast Events, David Maestas and Jan Parker, took delicious food to the nonprofit April through July— barbecued chicken, bratwurst, homemade salads and much more. With Rotarians’ funds, they provided 2,979 meals. “I think the best part of it was the quality of the meals was excellent,” said Upper Room Executive Director Charles McDonald at a recent Rotary Zoom meeting. “Our guests enjoyed it.” “We are glad to be able to donate and help,” said EDH Rotary Club President Aaron Palm. EDH Rotary/West Coast Events’ donation is one of several acts of goodwill for which McDonald said he’s very grateful. COVID-19 put a lot of pressure on the organization — volunteers backed

A Facebook plea yielded about $130,000 in donations, “which blew us away,” McDonald said. “It was a good feeling to see the community step up like that.”

This Friday will be our inaugural night with the fairgrounds and farms we will be working with as we get going.” Sanders plans to feature produce purchased from growers at the Fair Market, specifically harvests from Patrick’s Berry Farm, Frog Creek Farm and Beals Orchards. Guests will have the choice to either pick up their meals curbside or to dine outside and enjoy the breezeway at the Marshall Building or under the canopy of many trees on the landscaped grounds. Picnic tables will be set up with social distancing guidelines in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Old Town Grill dinner choices will contain a farm fresh starter, three different entrees (two protein and one vegetarian entree) to choose from including: seafood, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, wild game and vegetarian option — with a personal dessert. Sanders said weekly selections will be designed depending on what’s available from the farms. This will be a venue change from Old Town Grills Friday nights “Date Night In” and “Curbside with a Cause” they have hosted for the last several months in front of its restaurant in
downtown Placerville. Sanders and company have been pairing with local nonprofit organizations to help support their essential causes while supporting the difference they make in so many lives. Sept. 4 Sanders and Old Town Grill are pairing with Snowline Hospice and Sept. 11 the popular downtown Placerville eatery is helping to benefit the Center for Violence-free Relationships. Pre-ordering dinner is encouraged and reservations can be made directly through the fairgrounds website, showcasing the menu for that week. Menus will also be posted on Old Town Grill’s Facebook page and the nonprofit organizations Sanders is collaborating with each week. “I encourage you to look at the organizations’ website and see the difference they make providing various services and its commitment for the most at risk in our community,” said Sanders. Price for each dinner is $45 each with $20 per meal going to the weekly nonprofit, $5 going to the fairgrounds and $20 is headed to Old Town Grill and support for local farms. In addition to Old Town Grill and Sanders’ presence at the Fair Market, attendees will find fresh produce and products, as well as handcrafts and re-purposed items available for purchase from local artisans. “The fairgrounds is a great venue with easy access ... plenty of room for growth — vendors and guests,” said Sanders. The Fair Market is open to the public most Fridays. Attendees should enter through the gate on Armory Road (next door to Raley’s and the Veterans Hall) and park in the designated parking area (on the back lawn). Parking and admission is free. Prospective sellers or restaurants interested in participating in this outdoor dining experience should contact the fair office at (530) 6215860 or fair@eldoradocountyfair.org.
GROW FOR IT! Make your own plants using semihardwood plant propagation
D
o you have a favorite plant that you wish you had more of? Want to obtain it virtually free as well as having the satisfaction of making your own plant? One of the most rewarding things about gardening is propagating new plants from cuttings taken from a healthy parent plant. There are three primary types of cuttings: softwood, semi-hardwood and hardwood, depending on the growth stage of the plant. This article will focus on semihardwood cuttings because mid-to-late summer into early fall is the best time to do these cuttings. Semi-hardwood cuttings generally root easily and do not require a lot of special knowledge. Cuttings are taken when the stems
Sue McDavid UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County are partly but not fully mature. At this point, the wood is relatively firm, but still flexible enough to bend easily and break with a snap. The cuttings should be taken from the growing tips of a plant using clean, sharp pruners. Make sure the parent plant is healthy with no signs of pests or disease and that there are no flowers or buds on the cutting stem. Cut the stem just below a node which is the small bump or protrusion where leaves, buds or branches will grow from. The cuttings should be as straight as possible with an ideal length of 4-6 inches. Strip the leaves from
the lower half of the stem but leave at least two upper leaves intact. Plant the cuttings in a container filled with sterile, unfertilized potting mix or clean, coarse sand, inserting them one-third to one-half their length into the medium. It is helpful for most cuttings to dip their stem in rooting hormone just prior to inserting into the potting mix. Poke a hole in the material big enough to insert the cutting without wiping off the rooting hormone. Then insert the cutting and firm the material around it. Water enough to settle the potting mix around the stem, cover the container with a plastic bag to create a greenhouselike environment and place it in diffuse light. Specialty propagation trays are ideal for this because they have tightfitting lids with vents that can be opened and closed depending on the amount of humidity needed. It is best to ■

remove the plastic cover or lid every day to shake off excess moisture buildup and avoid fungal growth. Water as needed to keep the potting mix lightly moist but not soggy. Cuttings may root in a few weeks, but some will take several months depending on the plant. After a few weeks, gently tug on the cutting and if you feel resistance, roots have formed. When enough roots are present, plant the new plants into potting mix in individual containers and fertilize with a diluted, water-soluble fertilizer. Gradually expose them to direct sunlight to harden them off. New plants can be planted out into the garden usually after one growing season. Keep the area around your new plants moist until their roots have settled into the soil well. Just remember that you probably won’t have 100% success with all your cuttings. Keep trying and you will finally obtain the satisfaction of making your own plants. Join Master Gardener Zack Dowell on

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MICHAEL ROBERT ROSS CASE NO. PP20200134 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MICHAEL ROBERT ROSS A PETITION for Probate has been filed by GREG SEIFTER in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that GREG SEIFTER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 28, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: PAUL KRAFT Law Office of Paul R.
