Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra held its eighth annual Golf For Kids’ Sake fundraiser at Serrano Country Club in El Dorado Hills earlier this month. Above, Dan Awe, a golf instructor at Cold Springs Golf and Country Club in Placerville, competes in the putting contest. A highlight of the event is the ball drop, at right. Contestants provided a $20 donation for each pre-numbered golf ball entered in the helicopter drop contest. Before the shotgun start, the crew from Sierra Air Helicopters in Auburn dropped the balls from randomly packed bags over the 9th hole. Dennis Myrmyr was declared the winner for having the closest ball to the hole.

As 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 Unified 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 n

EDH Rotarians deliver more than a meal Noel Stack Editor

EDH Rotarians and owners of West Coast Events Jan Parker, left, and David Maestas, right, teamed up with Charls McDonald, center, earlier this year to feed guests at The Upper Room.
Rotary 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, home-
made salads and much more. With Rotarians’ funds, they provided 2,979 meals. “It 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 out, demand for food (now served to-go) went up and fundraisers were canceled. 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.” For more information visit upperroomdininghall.org.

WHY DID THE DINERS CROSS THE ROAD?
For a delicious chicken dinner, of course Sel Richard Staff writer
“W
e dig momandpops,” 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 chicken-centric 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,”

Mom and Pop Chicken Shop brings tasty fried chicken and more to El Dorado Hills Town Center. said Hazelton, revealing that the menu includes the fulfillment of her longtime desire to list donuts as dessert. “There’s a chickenshaped 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 the community through service’ and it will be the same over there.” As to how they are managing to expand their business when others are closing doors, Dedier suggests a couple factors, one of which is their focus on hospitality. “It’s understanding that business is not necessarily all about dollars and cents,” he said, while also pointing to their reluctance to incur debt. “The way that we operate Milestone is generally whatever money we make here we reinvest in Milestone. We don’t cash
it out and take megavacations 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.

Local sales tax revenue drops EDC Auditor-Controller’s Office 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-inplace directive that caused gasoline sales and restaurant sales to decline. On the bright side, revenues from online shop-
ping 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 significantly 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. Village Life photos by Sel Richard

Wedding plans require an open mind ... and wallet
W
edding No. 2 is fast approaching. What was originally planned as a June wedding was pushed to September due the uncertainty of COVID-19. Our daughter’s original destination wedding location was South Beach Miami. That is, until the city shut down everything. And since the happy couple was determined to proceed without any further delays, wedding plans quickly shifted gears to their hometown of Knoxville, Tenn. “What about the deposits for the flowers, hotel and photographer?” I asked my wife. “We’re still negotiating with them,” she replied. “The florist has agreed to overnight the bouquet to Knoxville but will not return the remaining deposit,” she informed me. We decided to chalk that one up as an expensive bouquet with a heft y handling and delivery fee. We’re still waiting on the Miami Beach hotel to return our calls. The voice message says it’s still closed with no word on when it will reopen. Our new wedding planner, I would soon learn, is a bulldog and gets things done — much needed with the short time left to prepare. This was a huge relief for my wife but worrisome to the person responsible
for paying for her unique wedding plan ideas — me. It’s been a few years since celebrating the removal of daughter No. 1 off my payroll. The costs associated with her wedding, though very much worth it, were beginning to come back into focus. I was resigned to the fact that I was now paying for a Tennessee wedding with residual Florida expenses. I just swallowed hard whenever my wife brought word of another development in the plans and then mixed a fresh cocktail. “We found the perfect venue,” she explained. “It’s the backyard residence of the sister of a prominent former Tennessee governor,” she informed me. “The grounds look like the English gardens of a royal estate.” Great, I thought to myself. No cost associated there, just a pop-up tent for the musicians and maybe a couple flower arrangements. My wife, wanting to keep me in the loop, emailed me a copy of the proposed flower invoice. Besides the bouquet arriving from out of state, flowers purchased locally would be needed. My eagle eyes caught a glimpse of an entry I found confusing. “What? She’s charging me $30 for rose petals?” I
shouted in disbelief. “Yes. The flower girl will be tossing those in front of you and the bride,” she replied. “At this price I can buy a dozen roses, with stems,” I countered. “Better yet, I’ll pick some petals off the roses in the English garden.” I thought the petal fee was a bit much, that is until I learned about the $50 rental fee for the cake table overlay linen. Never mind the cake. I was already aware that was going to require a short-term loan. “There’s also a cake cutting fee,” she added. As if she was preparing me for some more head-spinning information. My offer to cut and serve the cake fell on deaf ears. After seriously considering the upcoming occasion, I decided not to dwell on the wedding costs. Let’s face it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I’m giving my daughter’s hand in marriage to a wonderful guy. The exchange of wedding vows will be most memorable but seeing $30 worth of flower petals tossed on the ground ranks right up there. The reception menu at a local restaurant will include rabbit/rattlesnake sausage and hot quail legs leading up to a dinner for 30 guests, well within the state’s guidelines for group gatherings. Catering to vegetarians wasn’t a prerequisite for this wedding. My seat near the open bar, compliments of yours truly, will be the icing on the cake to a wonderful day and a perfect vantage point to enjoy my $50 cake table linen.

GUEST COLUMN by Ted Gaines
Property tax ‘split roll’ a grave threat to agriculture
C
alifornia property owners have benefitted from Proposition 13 for so long it’s hard to remember the time before it — when property taxes shot up unpredictably year after year, forcing seniors from their homes, blowing up family budgets and crushing businesses. That ugly past could be in California’s future if the Proposition 15 “split roll” initiative passes this November. Defeating it must be the highest priority for the agriculture industry and everyone who cares about farming and ranching in California. Prop. 13 put the brakes on those wild increases and for the past 42 years it has guaranteed stable and predictable annual property taxes. It mandates that property tax assessments are based on a property’s sales price, which gives a concrete data point to establish value. Both commercial and residential properties are taxed at 1 percent of that sales price and annual increases are capped at 2 percent. Properties are only reassessed when sold or substantially improved. It’s the most consequential and successful tax reform in California history.
But the billions of dollars Prop. 13 has saved families and businesses is precisely why it’s become a target for ravenous special interests who want to wring every possible penny from taxpayers. Prop. 15 would undo Prop. 13’s protections and require annual reassessment of some commercial properties, leading to the same property tax wild west that inspired Prop. 13. It would extract up to $12 billion in new, additional taxes from Californians. Commercial landowners will see their taxes skyrocket. Small business owners who pay “triple net” leases, where they are required to pay their portion of the property tax for the space they rent, will see those costs filter down to them and their already challenged bottom lines. But, as bad as that would be for the economy overall, split roll takes special aim at agriculture and would sweep across farms and ranches like a wildfire. Prop. 15 exempts agricultural land from these annual reassessments, but it makes a devious change to the definition of “land.” Currently agricultural
“land” includes the land itself, improvements and fixtures. Prop. 15 eliminates fixtures and improvements and exposes them to annual reassessment. What does that mean? It means that irrigation systems will be subject to annual tax increases. It means that barns, dairies, fences, processing plants, silos, refrigeration units, storage sheds and much, much more will be subject to annual reassessment. Incredibly, it will also expose mature fruit and nut trees and vineyards — by the millions — to annual reassessment. Prop. 15 will turn farms into a tax collector’s playground. Agriculture is a $50-billion industry in California that supports hundreds of thousands of jobs. Around 90 percent of California farms are still family owned. The industry, as with so many others, is straining from the shocking and unforeseen effects of coronavirus. This massive jolt in tax costs could be the blow that leads to mass sales and closures of family farms and destroy legacies that stretch back more than a century. California is blessed with some of the world’s best farmland but it’s cursed by some of the worst public policy. Prop. 15 would only make it harder and more expensive for agriculture to flourish in our state. Protect farming and ranching by voting “No” on Prop. 15 this November. Board of Equalization Member Ted Gaines represents nearly 10 million people in California’s First Equalization District. He is the highest-ranking Republican in the state.

Richard Esposito’s invasion EDITOR: read Richard Esposito’s “Invasion of body snatchers” (Village Life, Aug. 12) and was horrified by his comparison of today’s political situation to a sci-fi flick. His use of the Wuhan flu virus instead of Corona 19 virus is offensive. His obvious disregard for those not following Trumpian ideology is hateful and misleading.

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
O
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 spent more time coordinating and managing and less time soliciting non-performance-based, threeyear contract extensions for himself and writing propaganda articles for the newspapers, the district website and email blasts to ratepayers. Incumbent EID board Directors George Osborne and Mike Raffety have been loyal enablers to the general manager and are facing reelection challengers on Nov. 3. GREG PRADA Cameron Park

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

Proposition 15 will hurt small businesses T his November Californians will vote on 12 statewide ballot measures, including whether 17-year-olds and parolees should be allowed to vote, whether Uber and Lyft drivers should be allowed to operate as independent contractors and the repeal of Proposition 209, which prohibited state governKen Calhoon ment institutions from considering race, sex Real estate columnist or ethnicity in areas of employment and college admissions. Three ballot measures would have a direct impact on real estate. California voters rejected rent control in 2018; it’s back again as Proposition 21. Proposition 19 would allow homeowners 55 and older to purchase a new home while keeping their existing Proposition 13 property tax base. Proposition 15 would end Prop. 13 tax protection for commercial properties. The elimination of Prop. 13 has been the goal of many interest groups including organized labor, affordable housing advocates and tax-and-spend elected officials. Prior attempts to eliminate Prop. 13 have been met with fierce opposition from the combined efforts of homeowners and the business community. This time, the legislature is employing a different strategy for repealing Prop. 13, focusing on commercial properties and leaving homeowners alone — at least for now. This divide-and-conquer approach to repealing Prop. 13 is combined with camouflage and deception. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who names ballot measures, has come up with calling the largest tax increase in California history the California Schools and Local Community Funding Act. What it should be called is lipstick on a pig. Prop. 15 will likely be supported by newly formed special interest groups with warm, fuzzy names such as Friends of Local Schools or the Committee for Educational Justice. The advertising campaign I sus-
Owners of commercial properties will see property taxes go through the roof. But it won’t be Wall Street or large multinational corporations that pay the increase in property taxes. It will be Joe the plumber, Gracie the owner of the neighborhood hair salon and the Johnsons who own the local deli. pect will feature children and teachers in classrooms and then show high-rise office buildings in downtown Los Angeles with a voice-over asking, “Why should outside Wall Street corporations be allowed to take money away from our children’s education?” I don’t have a problem with folks voting to increase their taxes. We all have an obligation to support schools, public safety and necessary public services. What’s aggravating is when elected officials, in an effort to increase taxes and/or pass unpopular legislation, deliberately disguise and distort it to sneak it by uninformed voters. Worse is the misrepresentation how funds will be used. A recent University of Southern California study estimates the passage of Prop. 15 would generate nearly $12 billion in its first year. It’s unlikely, however, that increase will end up in the classroom. It’s more likely to fund an estimated $60 billion in unfunded pension liabilities for CalPERS and another $33.4 billion unfunded liability with CalSTRS. If passed, Prop. 15 will eliminate Prop. 13 property tax protection from office, industrial and retail properties. It will require full-market value reassessment on these properties every three years. Current property tax rates are established at 1% of the purchase price and restricted to no more than 2% annual increases thereafter until the property is sold when the new purchase price establishes the new tax base. Owners of commercial properties will see property taxes go through the roof. But it won’t be Wall Street or large multinational corporations that pay the increase in property taxes. It will be Joe the plumber, Gracie the owner of the neighborhood hair salon and the Johnsons who own the local deli. More than 75% of all small businesses lease commercial space and they are the ones who will be directly impacted as landlords implement the standard “pass-through” provision in their lease agreements.
When taxes go up so does the rent. California small businesses are already in financial trouble. Many are closed and some will never reopen. Last month business review site Yelp reported the number of businesses permanently closed is rising. According to Yelp’s economic impact report, of all the business closures since March, 55% will never reopen again. California businesses already pay some of the highest taxes in the country and mandatory, governmentimposed shut-downs have forced many business owners to the brink of closure or bankruptcy. A vote for the California Schools and Local Community Funding Act will be a vote against small businesses that are unable to absorb higher operating costs. If passed, Prop. 15 will further decrease commercial real estate values. An Urban Land Institute survey found commercial values dropping 7% this year and real estate analyst CoStar projects 13,000 commercial properties with securitized mortgages would default within the next two years. Here’s why. Online retail continues to reduce the demand for brick-and-mortar buildings, offices are empty with more working from home and retail landlords are reporting nearly half of all rents going unpaid. With the passage of Prop. 15, California homeowners are next. Past efforts to repeal Prop. 13 has been met with fierce opposition from the combined efforts of homeowners and commercial landlords. That combination has been critical since homeownership has been on the decline and along with it homeowners’ political influence. If Prop. 13 protection is taken from commercial landlords they will have no incentive to help homeowners in their next fight. Vote no on Prop 15.
