Therapy dogs wag their way into base camp
Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Mountain Democrat photo by Eric Jaramishian
The Caldor Fire burns near Wright’s Lake Road north of Highway 50 near Kyburz Thursday.
Firefighters say control lines starting to hold Lauren Keene Davis Enterprise staff writer Despite a fresh round of evacuation orders and warnings, Cal Fire struck a positive note Thursday in its battle against the more than two-week-old Caldor Fire. Operations Section Chief Cody Bogan said crews achieved success in holding the fire lines, particularly on the west side of the blaze as well as along the Highway 50 corridor, where the main spread was along the north side of the highway near the Strawberry community. Up-canyon winds triggered several spot fires on the fire’s east side, but for the most part the fire has stayed within the main bulldozer lines plowed to slow the incident’s reach. “The crews are making good progress right now, and we’re getting around those spots,” Bogan said Thursday during Cal Fire’s daily online briefing. The northeast edge of fire was the most active overnight Thursday. Firefighters saw short-range spotting and new ignitions within control lines. Crews also continued with firing operations to strengthen control lines. The wildland blaze, which began Aug. 14 near the Grizzly Flat community, burned 143,951 acres as of 7 a.m. Friday and stood at 12% containment. More than 3,000 air and ground crews remain assigned to the incident. Earlier Thursday, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department ordered a new round of evacuations from Twin Bridges to the Echo Summit, both north and south of Highway 50. Previous orders affected residents from Highway 50 south to the Amador/ Alpine county lines and Highway 50 north to Flag Pole Peak. Meanwhile, communities between the Echo Summit and Highway 89 now lie under an evacuation warning. “We suggest you make use of that time,” sheriff’s Sgt. Eric Palmberg said during Thursday’s briefing. That means gathering clothing, medications and other essential items, as well as making a plan for animals in need of care. Residents in need of transportation should make arrangements with family, friends or neighbors, or call 911 for assistance. “We will do what we can to get you out safely,” n

he unified command base camp at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds has had some very special visitors over the last week. Bright-eyed and tails wagging, Max, Grizzle, Willow, Jack and Sadie are among the teams of therapy dogs who visit the Caldor Fire base camp almost daily to meet and greet firefighters and first responders who have been fighting the massive blaze. “It reminds me of the dogs at home,” said Jennifer House with the U.S. Forest Service as she gave tummy rubs to Willow the goldendoodle. Betsy Crisp of Foothill Therapy Dogs is no stranger to fire camps. She has been to basecamps on a number of wildfires over the years, including the 2014 King Fire in El Dorado County and the 2018 Camp Fire in Butte. Wendy Goossen of Images of Hope started a therapy dog program at Marshall Hospital that led her to connect with Crisp a number of years ago. Goossen’s dog Max the Australian Labradooodle provides canine therapy in many settings across El Dorado County and the next, natural step was to provide canine therapy to hardworking first responders. The therapy dogs deliver smiles to base camp each morning for two hours while crews prepare for another day on the fire lines.

EID begins flume fire damage assessment News release Earlier this week, with fire officials’ authorization, EID PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
personnel began initial damage assessments to limited portions of its flume and canal system where safe access is possible. That assessment confirmed at least three flumes have suffered significant damage and multiple others still remain at risk. A full damage assessment and restoration plan will be ongoing in the coming days after fire officials determine the fire threat in the area has been fully mitigated. These sections of EID’s canal and flume system are located 24 miles east of Placerville, perched on steep, hard-to-access terrain along the south side of Highway 50. EID’s

Among the three El Dorado Irrigation District flumes that have so far been identified as damaged by the Caldor Fire is Flume 4, pictured, as well as flumes 5 and 6. 22-mile-long Project 184 system has a mixture of above ground flumes and in-ground
concrete canals. Some flume sections, especially those rebuilt in recent years as part
of the district’s ongoing capital improvement program, are made of concrete. Many older
flumes, however, are made of wood. The flume sections that burned include the 400-foot-long Flume 4, the 179-foot-long Flume 5 and the 146-foot-long Flume 6. “The loss of these flume sections represents a heavy impact that we are moving immediately to address,” said EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie. “I want our customers and community to understand that we will not run out of water. EID’s water system is an integrated, interconnected system that allows us to make operational changes to n

Man turns himself in after Liar’s Bench stabbing Mountain Democrat staff A Placerville man who reportedly stabbed a man at the Liar’s Bench in Placerville Aug. 23 has turned himself in to authorities. Placerville police say shortly after 11 p.m. Daniel Garcia, 34, stabbed a victim in the neck at the Main Street bar. Injuries were not lifethreatening. Police launched an investigation led by Det. Addison Randall where evidence pointed to Garcia.
Before officers could serve an arrest warrant, Garcia turned himself in at Placerville police headquarters Aug. 25. Garcia was booked into the El Dorado County Jail on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon. He remained in custody Thursday evening on $55,000 bail. Anyone with information that could aid in the investigation is asked to call Det. Randall at (530) 642-5210.
Steadfast seniors form nonprofit Sel Richard Staff writer Locals recently formed Concerned Residents of El Dorado Hills Heritage Village, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit public services corporation and legal platform to pursue resident and environmental protection activities. “We … (are) intent on making sure that seniors, non-seniors and the entire environmental community is protected against
any kind of issues that ultimately may be viewed by us as abusive,” said Heritage community representative Bob Williams at last week’s El Dorado Hills Community Services District board meeting. “We would not be here at this point if we did not think historically there have been issues with your actions with regard to light pollution, conduct of assessment activities and a whole host of other issues.” Members’ main dispute centers
around 50-foot stadium lights installed at the future Heritage Park, located off Carson Crossing Drive in the midst of the over-55 active adult communities Heritage and Four Seasons. Initial plans for the park included lighted tennis, pickle ball and bocce ball courts. After 160 residents submitted a petition to modify park hours and eliminate the need for lighting, the district designated park hours
Sac Metro Air District News release The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, working in partnership with El Dorado County Air Quality Management District, Placer County Air Pollution Control District and YoloSolano Air Quality Management District, has been awarded more than $2.7 million in federal funding for clean air projects to reduce particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution. The four air districts are contributing more than $5 million in cost share for a total infusion of more than $8 million to the regional economies. This grant award is an example of the power
of partnerships and of growing collaboration in the region. The grant from the EPA’s Targeted Airshed Program will reduce ambient PM2.5 pollution primarily by replacing residential non-certified, higher emitting wood burning fireplaces and stoves with EPA- certified cleaner alternatives. In addition, the grant will support road paving to mitigate entrainment of road dust, which contributes to ambient PM concentrations. Residents residing in the jurisdictions of El Dorado County AQMD, Placer County APCD or Yolo-Solano AQMD will be eligible to apply for funding for cleaner burning appliances. Road paving will occur in El Dorado

County through a coordinated effort between El Dorado County AQMD and the El Dorado County Transportation Department. The Sacramento region does not meet all national ambient air quality standards. Thus, additional emission reductions are necessary to protect public health and reach attainment of the federal standards. Meeting these standards is necessary to protect public health and for the region to remain eligible for federal transportation dollars. In the region more than 50% of PM pollution in the winter months is caused by wood-burning appliances. Replacing these devices with cleaner products can dramatically improve
air quality and protect the health of those using the appliances and neighboring residents. Other sources of PM include wildfires, road dust, vehicle emissions and other uses of internal combustion engines. PM2.5 particles travel deeply into the respiratory tract and easily reach the lungs. Exposure to these particles can cause short-term health effects such as eye, nose, throat and lung irritation, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and shortness of breath. Studies also suggest that long-term exposure to particle pollution results in increased rates of chronic bronchitis, reduced lung function and premature death from lung cancer and heart disease.

EDC opening Caldor Fire victim assistance center El Dorado County CAO News release El Dorado County officials last week announced the opening of an assistance center to provide county and state services, information and resource referrals to individuals, families and businesses impacted by the Caldor Fire. The assistance center opened Aug. 27. “In these times of natural disaster it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for help,” said Board of Supervisors Chair John Hidahl. “The (assistance center) is a one-stop location to help our residents start the process of rebuilding their lives and livelihoods.” The assistance center will be located at Folsom Lake Community College, El Dorado campus, Fitness Center Building at 6699 Campus Drive in Placerville.
It will be in operation on the following dates and times: • Aug. 30: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Aug. 31: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Sept. 1: 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. • Sept. 2: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Sept. 3: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Representatives from the county assessor, recorderclerk, library, treasurer-tax collector, planning and building and elections departments will be on hand to answer questions.

continue to serve water from other sources, such as Sly Park Reservoir, even with the loss of the flumes.” Every fall season under normal operations, the flumes are shut down for about 3-months to perform important annual repairs. With the damage to these flumes, that shut down period comes a month early. “When the Caldor Fire broke out, district personnel immediately began optimizing emergency water storage levels in its Forebay Reservoir in Pollock Pines in the event the canal and flume system was damaged,” said EID Director of Operations Dan Corcoran. “In fact, because of the recently completed raising of the Forebay dam by 10 feet, the district has an enhanced bank of water to meet customer demands while we begin the hard work of rebuilding flumes to get the water flowing again. If needed, we will implement
temporary measures to ensure our service remains uninterrupted.” The district is currently under a voluntary call for a 15% reduction in customer water use compared to 2020. With this reduction, EID estimates that water supply will be adequate to meet customer demands when evacuation orders near the fire are lifted and our customers can return home. Until then, the district continues to deliver key firefighting water supplies to help suppress the fire. “The fire is still dynamic and active,” said Abercrombie. “I want to express gratitude to the ongoing efforts of fire protection services, as well as EID teams who acted quickly to protect infrastructure as best they could. They have done all they can to protect the infrastructure, while always ensuring staff and public safety. That will always remain our top priority.”

What Causes It?
Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

Flume 6 is the third EID flume assessed for damage last week.
“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Gross misuse of taxpayer money draws attention
A
s Gov. Gavin Newsom stares down the barrel of the pending recall, we wonder if he has given any thought to what he might have done to forestall or, at least, lessen the odds of being bounced. Probably he has not. Jon Coupal To all appearances, the governor seems genuinely to believe that the recall is a “Trump inspired” assault on what he calls “California values.” Judging from his record, the values he holds dear are high taxes, a high cost of living, a high poverty rate, a high unemployment rate, water shortages severe enough to require mandatory rationing and regular power outages on hot or windy days. The reality is that anger is running deep in California and not just among the roughly 6 million state residents who voted for Donald Trump. A recent poll found that 54% of Hispanic voters were in favor of the recall. That must have shocked the governor and thrown his campaign team’s “get out the vote” strategy into chaos. “What if,” they must have been thinking, “we turn out the vote and it turns us out?” Among the long list of taxpayer frustrations with this governor and, indeed, the state in general, are the huge lost opportunities of what could have been done during the year of the pandemic but was not. For example, the governor claimed credit for what was, in his calculation, a $70 billion budget surplus. (The Legislative Analyst’s Office checked his math and pointed out that the surplus was only $35 billion, but that’s still a big number). Regrettably, those tens of billions of dollars have been frittered away. Newsom played Santa Claus, or maybe Chicago ward boss, by showering new $600 stimulus checks on much of the population. We’re generally in favor of returning excess tax funds to the taxpayers, but these weren’t tax refunds. They were one-time payouts to income-eligible people that, coincidentally, were timed to be mailed very close to the date that ballots in the recall election would be mailed. That bit of political stimulus soaked up $8 billion. And speaking of soaked, that’s what taxpayers have been when it comes to water storage projects. In 2014 California voters approved Proposition 1, a $7.5 billion bond that preauthorized $2.7 billion for water storage projects that have still not been built. The California Water Commission determined funding eligibility for seven projects back in July 2018 and paperwork is ongoing. The first facility is scheduled to be operational in 2027. Instead of making use of the budget surplus and n

Letters to the Editor Can’t see the forest EDITOR: an we all have a frank, honest discussion regarding the rash of forest fires the last two years and arsonist who are starting them? We are told by those in authority that the fires occur due to climate change. But Biden’s own forestry expert is stating most of the fires are man-made. The largest of these, the Dixie Fire, destroying 500 homes and counting, resulted in the arrest of a psycho environmentalist. And lately, some in our are (started) by “homeless” people. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
C
Power grab EDITOR: he woke politicians in California have done it again. They have passed a new law (subdivision of Section 27535, bill SB 61) that is a direct violation of our 2nd Amendment rights, lied and violated their oaths of office. What part of “shall not be infringed” don’t they understand? This new law that limits our rights of free enterprise and limits the right to purchase a legal firearm to one purchase per month will impact legal sales at related businesses and force them out of business. The firearms business is already overburdened with federal and state laws, reporting and fees, not to mention all the fingerprinting and background checks to ensure a buyer is legally eligible to own a firearm — all of that makes you wonder if these regulations do any good or just support another bureaucracy. And let’s not forget that a person younger that 21 in the military protecting our constitutional rights cannot purchase a legal firearm. What other industry has limits on what you can buy? This law was passed by the socialist politicians to force legitimate businesses out of business and violate your right to purchase legal firearms. This law, along with the ammunition registration law, does absolutely nothing to protect anything. If one firearm is legally owned with legally owned
T
ammunition, how does limiting the purchase of an additional firearm and ammunition make it any safer? Or is it just more control? What, if anything, other than letting criminals out of prison, are these politicians doing to minimize the use by criminals of stolen, black market, unregistered, illegal, firearms? Have you ever heard of a gun doing harm all by itself? No. It takes a criminal to pull the trigger. This is just another attempt for power and control by the government, certainly not the people’s government. Watch out you might be next. It is past time to kick these socialist out of office and the sooner the better. Let’s return to a government by the people and for the Constitution. P.S. what do you think of the law that if you steal less than $950 you wont be arrested or prosecuted? Ask a business owner what they think about it ... and who passed it. RICHARD ROOD Placerville
Afghanistan EDITOR: s I watch the chaotic evacuation of Americans and Afghan civilians from Kabul I can’t help but reflect on my experiences toward the end of the Vietnam War. It always seemed to me that the flights into the war zone were carefully planned and relatively routine whereas the flights out with evacuees and wounded were kind of hurried and, even though very professional, a little less well planned. What I’m seeing now is a force of dedicated airmen and ground troops making do with what’s available to do the best they can. I honestly can’t imagine my feelings, for example, if I’d known some people had been hanging onto my airplane and eventually fallen to their deaths. Having said that, I do believe no one from either political party would have tried to make points by criticizing the president for making the decision to get out when it became obvious our cause was lost. Our president has, once again, realized that at some time we must turn over the responsibility for governance to the people we’ve been assisting. He’s

he Thacker Pass lithium mine won a judge’s approval for the Bureau of Land Management to perform archeological explorations on the future mine site in Nevada near the Oregon border. While Michael searching for new action on it, I found another lithium mine. This mine, also in Nevada, already has federal approval. Two different companies are operating in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Esmeralda borders California along southern Nevada and is 40 miles southwest of Tonopah, which is in Nye County. The Clayton Mine project, operated by Pure Energy, is 23,000 acres. It is comprised of the Lithium X North Project and the Lithium X South Project. In between is the Albemarle Lithium salt brine mine near Silver Peak, Nev. Albemarle has a stake in a lithium mines in Chile and Australia as well as a nonoperational mine in

South Carolina. Albemarle is already operating. During an evaporation process the lithium salt brine is evaporated up to 6% in the final brine after being pumped through a cascade of ponds and is then transported to a plant for further purification, which produce lithium carbonate and lithium
chloride. During the evaporation process impurities are removed and some byproducts include potash for fertilizer and bischofite used for road paving. The Lithium X Projects this month announced federal approval for its plan of operations for a pilot project. Schlumberger in partnership with Pure Energy also received approval for its reclamation plan from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation.

Northern Cass School District 97, with about 6,660 students, found graduating students were unsure about what to do with their lives after graduation. The result of discussions about the issue resulted in what was described as “competency-based education,” which emphasizes mastery of skills over time in the classroom. Students get rated on each skill and they proceed at their own pace. The teacher spends most of her time walking around answering questions.

According to information about the American Montessori approach from the University of Connecticut, “Montessori focuses on more than just reading, writing and mathematics. Exercises in practical life are designed to help children develop coordination, social consciousness and independence.” In El Dorado County there is a K-8 Montessori school on Buckeye Road chartered by Buckeye Union School District.

Golden Sierra’s Kia Larson, left, and Anthony Alvarez are helping pave the way for the future of the Grizzlies football program. The Grizzlies only have a junior varsity team this season while building up their numbers and new offense.

Building a golden foundation Thomas Frey Staff writer The sibilance of shoulder pads hitting the blocking sled can be heard from the far ends of Golden Sierra High School as the football team pushes the sled down the field as a unit. If even one guy isn’t pushing his share, the entire operation is a bust. “The work that they put in day to day, the beneficiaries of that are going to be the student athletes of the future,” said head coach Gregory Horsfall. “They are the builders of the culture here in this program.” This season Golden Sierra is starting fresh with a new head coach and building a foundation from the ground up. Horsfall played at Marysville High School — where he scored a touchdown on Golden Sierra’s field as an opponent — and at Yuba College. He is an El Dorado County building inspector and in 2018 joined the Golden Sierra program as a volunteer coach. Midway through that season he became the defensive coordinator and held that title until being named head coach this season. The Grizzlies football team is made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores and Horsfall said he has

decided to only have a junior varsity team. Since making the decision, he said he has implemented a new offense and has seen a higher turnout of players. Previous head coach Jerry Wright won a lot of games running the box offense, which routinely was among section leaders in team rushing yards — but didn’t feature a passing offense with wide receivers lined up on the outside. It was an offense Wright had been a part of since he played for the 1994 Grizzlies team that made it to section finals. Horsfall decided to make a change so more players could excel in the offense. “With this new system we are able to pass more because we have set wide receivers instead of just having wing back or inside players,” said junior Koa Larson, who plays wide receiver and cornerback. “The offensive is more versatile and I like it a lot more.” Larson plays both ways and said he battles every practice with fellow junior Landon Hazlett. “We normally run routes against each other and he’s very physical. That helps with being able to expect that with an opponent because not a lot See GSFB, page A8

horoscope by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will do what you’re compelled to do. Your inner drive remains undaunted by external threat and unimpressed by rewards from the outside. The endeavor is the prize. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Spiritual interests and physical health are closely aligned, and any work you do to improve one sector will favorably affect the other. You feel generous when you feel healthy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Baffling behavior sets up a mystery you will continue to follow until you crack it. You will not give up until you comprehend the motive behind the action and can influence further action. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll come across the right teacher who is an excellent match for your style of learning. A school or structured training will be well worth the investment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). From your guiding luminary — the sun — you learn that when you stay a respectful distance from the object of your affection, this person will gravitate toward and orbit around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel connected with someone by an invisible bond. You are a person of action, so it’s not enough to acknowledge a feeling. To feel complete, you must do something about it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will follow your specific plan to establish a new habit. Unsurprisingly, magic will drop into this otherwise completely practical situ-
ation, which often happens in your serendipitous life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your empathic powers disallow you to ignore the feelings of those around you; though there are some you might consider leaving unserved. Avoid giving good effort to a narcissistic agenda. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The planning stage is crucial to your experiences. Not only does it make things go better, but making the plan will be a pleasure in and of itself. Don’t skip it! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a quiet comfort in the way some people go out of their way to make you feel special. Should it really be such a rarity? How can you get more of this in your life? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You do not lack motivation; though the details of a successful process are not as clear to you as they must be in order for you to follow through. Take it slowly, step by step, making sure you really understand each move. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have plenty to give today and will be in a generous mode. It’s not selfish to know what you want in exchange; in fact, it will make the transaction more satisfying for everyone.

each and every day in each and every one of these communities,” Incident Commander Dusty Martin said during Cal Fire’s daily online briefing. “One of our top priorities is to get citizens back into their communities, and we are working tirelessly to make that happen.”
Officials expect to reach full containment of the blaze by Sept. 8. The cause remains under investigation. Cal Fire posts regular updates on the Caldor Fire on its social media pages — Facebook, Instagram and Twitter — as well as via email. For phone updates call (530) 303-2455.

from dawn to dusk with no evening lighted courts, although the lights remained due to removal costs estimated at approximately $30,000. The group’s legal counsel has now contacted the CSD via a letter demanding the removal of the court lights by Aug 21 or face litigation for violation of the California Environmental Quality Act. As of press time Monday, the lights remained. Heritage Village resident Roberta Ward reiterated many of the nearby residents’ aversion to the Heritage Park location. “I want you to know that I appreciate the parks that you have created,” she said of the CSD’s other facilities, but then expressed frustration with the lights. “You’ve created a public nuisance and I’m shocked by that … It almost seems
as if the impact of that park on the residents of Heritage Village is irrelevant and it shouldn’t be irrelevant either to you as the board, responsible for the parks of El Dorado Hills, or under the law.” More than 400 letters signed by Heritage residents have been sent to Lennar Homes, the developer of Heritage Village and the park, requesting intervention regarding the lights as well as the plight of what they claim are endangered species in the adjacent wetlands. In response, Lennar has offered to pay for removal of the lights. “Lennar is urging the board to place an item on its next agenda to authorize and approve removal of the sports court lighting,” said Lennar Homes representative Chad Roberts. “Lennar would direct
...to our
its contractor to remove the sports court lighting and pay the cost associated with that work.” EDHCSD Board President Noelle Mattock assured the audience that the issue will appear on a future board agenda and that Lennar will be invited to attend. The nonprofit group has also prompted an investigation by California Fish and Wildlife regarding the impacts to the wetlands. They have since launched a donation site to support their legal efforts and to promote public education regarding abuse of community residents and wetlands endangered species protection.

of other players are willing to go physical with your own team,” Larson said. “He’s willing to do that for me and him in order to get better.” Sophomore quarterback Anthony Alvarez has noticed the work they have been putting in when he spirals the ball to one of them in practice while the other defends. Building bonds with his teammates is a big reason Alvarez said he loves playing for this team. Each day of practice strengthens the chemistry and cohesiveness between the quarterback and his team, including his offense line. “The offensive line is developing pretty good,” Alvarez said. “I feel safe and protected behind
them.” The line is led by team captains Zach Bingham and Drennen Gaw who are both juniors averaging 270 pounds of toughness built to dominate opposing linemen. “Our center Drennen Gaw is absolutely fantastic,” Horsfall said. “He’s got the best hands and feet of any lineman I’ve seen in this program in a long time.” There is a chance Golden Sierra could play one varsity game this season against North Tahoe. As of press time it was unknown if that game will happen. Senior Travis Robertson has been practicing

and training as if he is preparing for a full varsity season, but since he is a senior, he will be ineligible to play in any junior varsity games. “Travis has been displaying great leadership to the lower classmen knowing his chances of competing this year are slim to none,” Horsfall said. “He teaches the kids how to behave on and off the field. He is a stud of an athlete and he can play any sport he wants and he chooses to come out here knowing he might not be able to play.” Despite having their first game canceled due to air quality, the team is practicing and conditioning everyday (when the air quality is OK) to build themselves up to play varsity football next season.

ven though this year has been tough, Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference pulled through with amazing leadership camps for both middle and high school youth. The camp, themed A World of Possibilities, was a COVID-safe, in-person camp. This year both camps were held at the serene and shady property The Davies Family Inn at Shadowridge Ranch in Placerville. This site is a beautiful event destination with many amenities that helped to successfully conduct a safe outdoor camp. The camps were designed to welcome new and catch up with returning leaders through a series of workshops and team-building activities. Together, the Hands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference Youth Board Executive Committee and the education program staff helped create these camps with team builds, breakout sessions and other fun activities. A total of 56 leaders were in attendance, representing 14 local schools from Folsom to Placerville. Camp is held once a year and is a time for leaders to get to know their leadership team, learn how to be an effective leader and get to know their own leadership skills. Before the pandemic, camps took place at Coloma Resort and Outdoor Discovery School. In 2020 camp was a hybrid of in-person and online. The A World of Possibilities theme was the perfect way to inspire and motivate n

Dina Gentry EDCOE Wildfires are ravaging California’s rural communities, displacing countless families and affecting dozens of small schools and school districts. The fires have destroyed schools, forced campuses to close and rendered many families homeless — just as students were returning for in-person learning. On Aug. 25 education leaders announced the launch of CA Kids Fire Relief. The twoweek, statewide effort is encouraging students and school communities across California to provide financial and emotional support to students, families and schools impacted by the catastrophic wildfires across the greater Sacramento region. “Our school communities throughout the El Dorado County are experiencing intense and extreme challenges,” said El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala at the press conference. “This outpouring of

in Grizzly Flat, Walt Tyler Elementary, was destroyed in the fire along with many of our students’ and staff ’s homes.” The effort is urging the education community to contribute gift cards for food, clothing, gasoline, as well as credit cardstyle gift cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx). Online donations are also being accepted via PayPal. (Cash, checks, clothing and household items are not being
collected.) Students are also encouraged to make cards and write positive letters of support, which will be handdelivered to students and schools in the fire regions.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson smiles after hitting a shot in the 2019 American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe. Now local nonprofits have the chance to apply for some of the funds raised during the tournament.
Celebrity golf tourney applications open to South Tahoe nonprofits Tahoe Daily Tribune STATELINE, Nev. — The Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority is once again inviting local nonprofit organizations to apply for funds resulting from the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament. The deadline is at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, and the application is available at ltva.org/americancentury-championship-donationrequest-application. As part of the July American Century Championship, American Century Investments, in partnership with the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and NBC Sports, is committing $85,000 from tournament proceeds to organizations located in South Tahoe. The maximum award will be $5,000. Applicants are encouraged to list the organization’s request in one of four categories: Category 1 — Organizational Sustainability: Significantly impact growth and stability of the organization. This award is not necessarily project based but would allow the organization to expand services or increase fundraising capacity, institutionalize systems that help the organization for the longer term as well as to manage its day-today operations. Category 2 — Organizational Impact: Increase number of constituents served. Category 3 — Community Need: Distribution of services or support as
Camp
primary goal. Category 4 — Scholarships: Individual participation and/or access fees. For financial support consideration, groups must be in South Lake Tahoe or in the Tahoe township portion of Douglas County and meet 501(c)3 nonprofit guidelines. Each must provide an outline of its mission, describe how the donation will be used and indicate impact in the community. Recipients will be presented with checks at the LTVA Board of Directors meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14. NBC Sports and Korbel California champagne previously directed an additional $5,000 to Tahoe Wildlife Care as part of the annual Korbel Closest-to-the-Pin contest. South Lake Tahoe Boosters Club also received $8,000 for ecology collection throughout the tournament. Funds were also distributed to local and national nonprofits who staffed concession stands during the tournament. To benefit as many organizations as possible, groups that previously received funding during tournament week will not be eligible for the $85,000 pool. Since 2009, donations exceeding $1.9 million have been distributed to more than 80 Tahoe area nonprofits to assist 11,500-plus individuals. The 33rd annual American Century Championship is July 6-10, 2022, in South Lake Tahoe. For more information visit AmericanCenturyChampionship.com.

“At Quarry Park I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I had a lot of fun,” shared on leader. “This is a great way to make bonds that will last throughout the year and it’s fun.” This camp was made possible by the efforts of the Hands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference Education Program staff and the Executive Youth Board. The four adults and nine youth worked hard to plan all of the activities and workshops for both the middle school and high school camps. It was also important to the leaders that locally owned restaurants, Gularte’s Deli, Paco’s Mexican Cuisine and Teriyaki Domo, were used to order daily lunches. Due to lack of appropriate COVID-19 resources to safely host the camp indoors, the team had to be innovative. Taking the high outdoor temperatures into consideration, games were planned and designed to cool off the leaders while staying focused on skillbuilding. “After camp I feel more confident with my leadership skills,” said Grace Brasil, Youth Board vice president. “Being an executive youth board leader during camp, I had to present to middle schoolers as well as high schoolers.

and later California State University, Sacramento, majoring in nursing. Carly Moran from Folsom High School has completed her fourth year of 4-H as a member of the Latrobe Outlanders. Carly’s major project was horses. The horse project taught her many things that typical lessons rarely do. It helped her not only learn to ride, but also ground work, animal body language and anatomy, while building her confidence and creating friendships. Carly also did riflery, food preservation and gardening. Major 4-H events Carly attended were summer camp at Camp Concord, All Skills Day, Alycia Burton two-day horse demonstration, Presentation Day and the Hangtown Christmas Parade. Her outstanding honors were winning gold at the 2019 county Presentation Day and the Cindy Flyer Horse Award. Outside 4-H she won the VFW speech contest and an Academic Honors certificate. Major contributions or help given to others in 4-H included holding club officer positions of treasurer, recording secretary and vicepresident. Carly also served as county 4-H financial manager. Carly will attend Hillsdale College, majoring in political science.

leaders for the transition to in-person meetings and activities. Together, leaders from each school learned how to work together, lead meetings, start a club and create an efficient work plan for their upcoming servicelearning projects. One leader even stated that “My favorite part [of camp] was being able to connect with my table group and other Hands4Hope participants through the games and icebreaker activities,” shared one participant. Being able to work well with your team and communicate effectively is crucial to being a Hands4Hope leader. A few activities, like the Invisible Maze and the Spaghetti Marshmallow Team Build, helped leaders learn how to use their communication skills to achieve a goal. The communication breakout session also helped leaders learn how to communicate professionally, whether it be email, text, Zoom or in-person. Breakout sessions on service learning and leading peers were used to help new and experienced leaders learn how to plan and conduct a meeting and each leader group held a mock meeting to practice. “I liked the mock leadership meeting ... because as leaders we are learning how to work with our team,” said one breakout session participant. They were able to be creative while practicing their leadership skills in a hands-on way. An additional objective of high school leaders for camp is to participate in an activity that requires self-reflection and getting out of their comfort zone. The last day of camp was spent at Quarry Adventure Park in Rocklin. This provided a great learning experience for individual leaders, as well as school teams. They were able to work through obstacles and face fears together.

Trustor(s): SUNG KI KIM AND SOON JA KIM, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS Recorded: 8/31/2015 as Instrument No. 20150040848-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of EL DORADO County, California; Date of Sale: 10/6/2021 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse located at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $188,279.11 The purported property address is: 2052 Moonstone Cir, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 125564-04-100 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-863863-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-863863-JB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for
this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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 27, 2021 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: STEPHEN J.
