The Caldor Fire tears through forest at Echo Summit Monday night as the blaze pushed its way down into the Tahoe Basin.
Flames charge east
Dr. Samuel Ceridon, regional medical director of Marshall Hospital’s Community Health Outreach Department, has been visiting Caldor Fire evacuation camps with medical strike teams to help evacuees with any medical needs. Nurse Shaunda Crane had already been working with this outreach team and staff from El Dorado County Public Health when the pandemic began. The teams help the at-risk and homeless population, visiting homeless sites and helping to provide minor medical assistance, access to vaccinations and other

The first of an anticipated two-day wind event triggered an evacuation order in South Lake Tahoe Monday morning as the Caldor Fire continued to burn its way east. More than 53,000 El Dorado County residents have now been evacuated, according to the state Office of Emergency Services. By Monday evening the forest fire had reportedly crossed Echo Summit and was encroaching on the Christmas Valley community south of Lake Tahoe. Firefighters performed structure defense overnight Monday in the South Upper Truckee Road area, behind Tahoe Paradise Golf Course near Mandan Street and Apache Avenue and also in Christmas Valley where flames were burning on both sides of the canyon. Crown fire runs and embers cast out as far as three-quarters of a mile are helping the fire spread. Firefighters say the blaze was also active in the Silver Lake area, the blaze’s eastern front. In the lower elevations strong, down-canyon winds Monday night tested control lines east of Pleasant Valley and in the Grizzly Flat/Fair Play area. More than 33,600 structures are threatened by n

Evacuees asked to move out of Placerville park-and-rides Krysten Kellum Associate editor As more personnel and equipment are bound for Placerville to fight the Caldor Fire, Placerville officials are asking evacuees who have set up at city park-and-rides to relocate. Cars, trucks, boats and RVs can be seen filling portions of park-and-ride parking lots throughout the city. Placerville Police Chief Joseph Wren said he has confirmed there is space at local evacuation sites for evacuees. “These evacuation sites are set up with resources to support you. Empty parking lots are not,” Wren said. Due to the “limited real estate” in the city, Wren said firefighters are running into challenges in finding places to stage firefighting equipment and other resources.

Vernon Hayes Lesher
March 27, 1931 - July 25, 2021
Vernon Hayes Lesher was born March 27, 1931 in Oakland, Calif., to Rutherford B. Hayes Lesher and Vera Thelma Cross Lesher, their second of five children. Vernon passed away in Grants Pass, Ore., from COVID19 July 25. Vernon was preceded in death by his parents; first wife Bette Lou Lesher; brothers Jerry Lesher, Hugh Richard Lesher and William Kenneth Lesher; nephews Kent Victor Lesher, Barry Rutherford Lesher, Kraig Arthur Lesher and a niece Heidi Lenore Cunning. He is survived by his wife Deborah Lesher, who was his constant companion and caregiver to the end; children Michael Edward Lesher and wife Laura and his daughter Pamela (Samm) Cuevas and husband Chris. He is also survived by his sister Lenore Lesher and his sister-in-law Phyllis Lesher. His surviving grandchildren are Shane Lesher and wife Angie, Heath Lesher and wife ReAnne, Chelsey Simpson and McKenna Trapani and husband Perry. Also left behind are 12 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. In 1945, the summer World War II ended, Vern’s parents moved the family from the Bay Area to El Dorado County and settled on a hillside in Chili Bar. Vern attended El Dorado County High and was a member of the championship football team of 1948. He graduated in June 1949. After graduation he worked for Michigan Cal and the Forestry Service. In 1951 he joined the U.S. Navy and married Bette Lou Lee of Placerville. The following year their son Michael was born and two years later daughter Samm. After being honorably discharged from the Navy and using skills he learned there, Vern worked in the office machine business and attended night school at Contra Costa College to earn his Associate of Arts degree. After a few years Vern and Bette Lou struck out on their own and opened Lesher Office Machines in San Francisco; Vern the salesman and Bette Lou handled finances, a very successful team. They retired in 1986 and Bette Lou passed on in 1990. After retirement Vern spent time with his many friends and family and took trips with his sister Lenore. He was an excellent horseman and was past president of the Master Trail Riders and greatly enjoyed the rides he took with them. In later years Vern moved to Grants Pass, Ore., and met Deborah Reed Crandall. They married in 2000 and he became stepfather and stepgrandfather to her family. Vern had a magnetic presence and personality and drew to him adults, children and all four-legged creatures that he cared for including feral cats. His dynamic persona made him an extraordinary salesman. Vern will be remembered by his friends and family for his generous spirit, his sense of adventure, his work ethic and humor, but most of all for his belief in the grace of God. Services were held Aug. 9 in Grants Pass, Ore.

Evacuees advised to contact insurers News release SACRAMENTO — As more El Dorado County residents are ordered to evacuate from the Caldor Wildfire, the American Property Casualty Insurance Association urges homeowners, renters and business owners to follow the evacuation orders of state and local officials, and then contact their insurance company as soon as it is

safe to do so. “Insurers are ready to help residents and businesses affected by these wildfires,” said Mark Sektnan, vice president of state government relations for APCIA. “After evacuating, the next step is to contact your insurer about damage. Your homeowners insurance company also can help evacuees move out of a shelter and into a hotel.”
A new law was enacted last year, Senate Bill 872, requires California homeowners insurance policies to provide two weeks of additional living expenses while a policyholder is evacuated if the evacuation is mandated by state or local officials. “Coverage in difficult situations like these wildfires is why you buy homeowners or renters insurance,” said Sektnan. “Call, click or text your insurer to get the help you need right now.”

health-related aid. When the Caldor Fire broke out near Omo Ranch Aug. 14 it was an easy step to bring those services to evacuation camps. “We had that framework in place,” said Ceridon. “When Red Cross came in with volunteers we went in as part of the community health department to see how we could help.” Bringing medical services to the camps helps evacuees with health concerns or serious conditions manage symptoms in place, preventing a visit to the emergency room or need to seek medical care. “We were already very active because we were into another surge with COVID so physician-wise we were already in the community and keeping them safe without the need of hospitalization,” he said. In a social media post just after the Caldor Fire started Marshall Medical Center officials asked evacuees to remain sheltered where they are if they could manage their symptoms on their own. “Marshall needs to maintain space in the hospital and the emergency room for those who need higher levels of care for COVID or effects from fire and smoke,” states the post. Speaking to the status of bed availability at Marshall, the hospital is full, Ceridon said, “We’ve been running above 100% for quite some time now.” He noted the hospital is able to handle incoming emergency and serious medical care needs but the more they can prevent the need for hospitalization at this time, the better the emergency department can serve those who have critical or life-threatening needs. “Part of my efforts is to not add to (hospital occupancy),” he said. The strike teams regularly visit six evacuation camps in the area, including official Red Cross sites for Caldor Fire victims —Cameron Park Community Center, Green Valley Community Church in Placerville and Rolling Hills Church in El Dorado Hills. Other sites are Cold Springs Church in Placerville, D’Agostini Ranch in Mount Aukum and Bayside Church in Placerville — camps offering evacuation assistance that do not have a Red Cross presence. The initial point of contact at all evacuation sites will always be the Red Cross, according to Ceridon.

Physician assistant Arianna Campbell, right, stands at the ready. In the instance an evacuee is sheltering where there is not a Red Cross presence they would call Red Cross directly to assess if there is a critical medical need and connect with Crane, who will triage the need and communicate with the strike teams. “The resources have been spread pretty fairly thin,” said Ceridon. The teams have been creative in establishing protocols and lines of communication for how a patient can get connected with medical care and they have managed to address the medical needs in those camps, according to Ceridon. The strike team divides their time as equally as allowable between all six camps but with triage protocols in place, they are able to divert services to where there is a greater need.

The owner of a storage facility in Shingle Springs is offering a place to store boats, RVs and vehicles free of charge for fire victims and evacuees. “This is born out of desire to help friends and neighbors in their time of need, to help alleviate some of the stress by this horrific fire and give back to the community that’s been so good to us,” Viking RV Storage Owner Ron Van Voorhis said. For those affected by the Caldor Fire, Viking RV Storage is offering free temporary RV storage on its graded parcel of land adjacent to its main facility in the Shingle Springs business park.

Physician assistant Arianna Campbell, a Placerville resident who has been with Marshall since 2003, is volunteering with the strike teams. “More than half of my patients two days ago were COVID patients,” she said. “It’s hitting people pretty hard.” The strike teams are usually comprised of an attending physician, a registered nurse or physician assistant, either from Marshall Medical or El Dorado Community Health Center, and often representatives from El Dorado County Health and Human Services. Ceridon said the systems in place will enable the program to last long term through an extended crisis such as the Caldor Fire.

Van Voorhis said he is unable to accommodate camping. “If you store your boat or trailer at home and live in an area threatened by fire, it’s better to relocate your boat or RV to a safe place outside the fire zone now rather than wait until an evacuation warning turns into a mandatory order to flee the area,” Viking RV Storage Manager Vanessa Van Voorhis said. After receiving frantic calls last week from fire evacuees looking for a place to temporarily leave their RVs, Van Voorhis — who’s affectionately known as “Viking Lars” — decided he wanted to offer free storage to fire victims. He said he realized he could convert his undeveloped property down the road from his headquarters at 4481 Business Drive into a temporary storage site. The next day, Van Voorhis contacted the owner of Van’s Paving and Grading in Placerville, Mike Warren, to see if he would be interested in making the idea a reality.
Mike immediately deployed water trucks and dozers to Viking Phase III. Within two days, Van’s Paving cleared and leveled enough land to accommodate up to 60 RVs.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
KEYS TO PROPER DENTAL HYGIENE PRACTICES The key to preventive dentistry is having a maintenance plan for your teeth, much like scheduled service for your car. Doing the same for your teeth and gums will prolong and preserve sound oral health. In addition to at-home self care of brushing thoroughly, flossing, and rinsing, regular dental cleanings and assessments are essential to dental health. Daily brushing will help remove plaque and kill bacteria, while flossing cleans in between teeth and gums and inhibits bacterial growth. Minimizing sugary, acidic foods and drinks avoids deterioration of the surface enamel, and eating a healthy diet contributes to overall health. The rewards of implementing this at-home
routine, combined with regularly scheduled dental cleanings and checkups, include a healthy and beautiful smile. To keep your teeth and to keep them strong, be sure to keep your dental appointments for regular checkups! Remember that nothing is more economical than regular, professional visits to the dentist to help guard against any problems that may threaten your smile. If you have questions about caring for your teeth and gums and achieving optimum dental health, please feel free to call us. We have office hours by appointment. P. S. In the average lifetime, a human produces over 100,000 gallons of saliva.

EL DORADO COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
RICARDO LARA CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
NOTICE TO:
All Admitted and Non-Admitted Property and Casualty Insurance Companies and Other Interested Parties FROM: Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara DATE: August 19, 2021 RE: Notice to Insurers of a Forthcoming Bulletin Requiring a Moratorium Against Non-Renewal or Cancellation of Residential Property Insurance Policies for Properties within or Adjacent to a Fire Perimeter Pursuant to Insurance Code Section 675.1(b)(1) As wildfires continue to rage across California this summer, I am reminding residential property insurers that Insurance Code Section 675.1(b)(1), as enacted by Senate Bill 824 (Lara, Chapter 616, Statutes of 2018), prohibits insurers from non-renewing or cancelling policies of residential property insurance in ZIP Codes within or adjacent to a fire perimeter for one year following a Governor’s declaration of a state of emergency. On August 17, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency covering the Caldor Fire in El Dorado County. As required by statute, I am coordinating with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) to identify the fire perimeters that are subject to the one-year moratorium for residential property owners. This prohibition applies to all policies of residential property insurance in effect at the time of each relevant declared emergency. As soon as the fires are sufficiently contained and necessary data is obtained to determine the fire perimeters and which ZIP Codes are within or adjacent to the impacted fire perimeters, I will issue a Bulletin informing insurers of the ZIP Codes that fall within the Section 675.1(b)(1) moratorium relating to these specific declarations. In the meantime, to avoid the need to reverse any adverse policy action after the Section 675.1(b)(2) Bulletin is issued, insurers should refrain from issuing any notice of non-renewal or cancellation, due to wildfire risk, for any policy of residential property insurance in effect on August 17, 2021 that covers property in any known active wildfire areas in the state that may be related to the fire identified in this declaration. This Notice is separate from, and in addition to, prior Notices dated July 21, 2021, July 30, 2021, and August 11, 2021. Insurance Companies should adhere to the instructions in this Notice and the July 21st, July 30th and August 11th Notices, along with any similar Notices subsequently issued.

Reduce builders’ September Business fees to make housing Luncheon more affordable Guest Speaker Denise Páne,
Patrick Kennedy District 2, Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Darren Suen District 1, Elk Grove City Council
As anyone who has tried to buy a home in the past year knows all too well, California’s housing costs are soaring. The primary reason is basic economics – there is a strong demand for housing and a limited supply because not enough homes have been built over the past two decades to meet that demand. But a recent study has made it clear that increasingly high fees charged to builders by cities, counties and special districts, and ultimately paid for by homebuyers, is a major cost factor as well, and one that can be addressed. As elected officials working to add to our communities’ housing supply and to improve affordability, we urge city councils, school boards and boards of supervisors around the state to ensure that their fees are appropriately scaled so that it’s easier, not harder, for families to buy – and homebuilders to provide — the new homes our state so badly needs. Builders have reported for years that high fees have been a problem in many coastal areas. But a recent report prepared for the North State Building Industry Association shows that the total fee burden in our area now averages an astonishing $95,000 for each new homebuyer. Some of these fees pay for essential items — basic infrastructure like roads, water treatment, schools or parks. However, the study revealed that similar communities in the Central Valley and the Inland Empire region of Southern California — areas similar in nature and lifestyle to Sacramento — see much lower fees than Sacramento for these same amenities. The fees in those two regions average a full $40,000 per home lower than what Sacramento
homebuyers generally pay. These findings clearly show that fees hurt the region’s affordability and put homeownership out of reach for thousands of area families. In our region, every $1,000 increase in price prevents 936 families from affording an average home. That translates to some 37,000 local families who are being priced out from buying a new home right now. The fees affect affordability for middle-income homebuyers as well as low-income families looking for government-sponsored housing options. Affordable-housing builders must pay fees as well. And when middle-income families cannot afford a new home, it prevents them from moving out of their condos or smaller homes, creating gridlock and blocking opportunities for poorer families wishing to climb the homeownership ladder. Eliminating the additional $40,000 in government fees would save the average homeowner $175 per month, $2,000 per year and an incredible $60,000 more over the course of a 30-year mortgage. The study was conducted by Economic and Planning Systems, a firm that provides expertise on real estate and land use for public- and private-sector clients across the country. It recommends that local jurisdictions cut fees to spur more homebuilding to boost supply; reduce or remove unnecessary amenities to bring fees down; and use local funds for larger amenities that benefit entire communities. Local governments throughout the state can examine how Lodi, Clovis, Riverside and Ontario have been able to keep fees so much lower than Sacramento before they approve new fees. The Legislature is considering Assembly Bill 602 to standardize local fee calculations and to create greater accountability and transparency in fee calculations and payment methods. This legislation should be passed, but with additional provisions so that local governments may reduce and eliminate unnecessary fees. Also, because some fees are the result of state mandates for goals such as better water quality or helping fund affordable housing, other methods to fund these essential needs should continue to be explored to reduce the burden on the next generation of homeowners. As discussions around a bipartisan federal infrastructure package and state budget talks continue, members of Congress and state legislators should be open to working further with local governments. Allocating funds to support broad societal benefits like parks, water and sewer infrastructure improvements and affordable housing would help ensure equity of these needs throughout the state. Bringing housing demand and production into better balance would help improve affordability, but so would reducing costs to produce housing. And we know that is possible. The Legislature should pass Assembly Bill 602 to standardize and create greater transparency in how local housing fees are determined. Local governments should reduce or eliminate these fees to make it easier to buy a home.

The Homeowners Claim Process Robert Lenoil, Owner Robert Lenoil Insurance Agency License #0E44887, Placerville CA Our heart goes out to you if you’ve suffered a fire loss or have been displaced from your home by mandatory evacuation. If, like most people, you have homeowners or renters insurance, you can file an insurance claim to seek compensation. Following is a brief overview of the claims process to help you get started. 1. Call your agent. The easiest way to start a claim is to CALL YOUR INSURANCE AGENT! Even if you don’t remember your policy number or who your insurer is, your agent can look that up for you and either start a claim on your behalf or transfer you to the insurance company’s claims department. They can also review your policy with you to give you an idea of what to expect during the claims process. If it’s after normal business hours and you know whom you’re insured with, you can try to find the insurance company’s website to see if you can start a claim online or leave a voicemail with their claims department. Many people in our area have fire insurance through the California FAIR Plan. You can start a claim with them online at https://www.cfpnet.com/ lossnotice/, although you will need to know your policy number to do that. 2. Your claims adjuster. After a claim has been started you will be given a claim number and be assigned a claims “adjuster.” Their job is to figure out the cause and magnitude of your loss and how much of it is covered by your insurance policy. Some companies may assign multiple adjusters to your claim, for example, one for the building and one for its contents. Be sure to write down each adjuster’s contact information, as you’ll be speaking with them regularly. You should also ask them for the contact information for their supervisor, in case they become unavailable during your claim (vacation, sickness, job change) and you need to speak with someone else. 3. Mitigate against further loss. Most policies require that you take reasonable steps to prevent further loss to your property, such as turning off the water if there is a leak
or boarding up a house to prevent vandalism or theft if its windows or doors have been broken. Most policies will pay for costs you incur to perform such mitigation. 4. Save your receipts. Hotels, restaurant meals, apartment rentals, increased commuting costs, and costs to board animals are all examples of additional living expenses that you can seek reimbursement for while you can’t live in your home. Save your receipts as the claims adjuster, and possibly your accountant will want copies of them. Note that FAIR Plan policies don’t reimburse these actual expenses, but instead pay you for the “fair rental value” of your home while you can’t live in it. Providing receipts for replacement property is very important because most policies only pay “actual cash value” (think thrift store prices) for your used belongings, and then pay the difference between that and their replacement cost after you provide receipts. 5. Be honest. Insurance fraud is a crime. Resist any temptation to ask for reimbursement for something you’re not entitled to, like the new golf clubs you bought when you didn’t own any golf clubs, to begin with. 6. You can negotiate. Your insurance company’s settlement offer isn’t take-it-or-leave-it. If you disagree with their numbers, let them know. Present facts to support the costs and values you propose. If you strongly believe they are being unreasonable, you can hire an attorney; hire your own adjuster to represent you; or file a complaint with the California Department of Insurance (800-927-HELP or https:// www.insurance.ca.gov). Attorneys and third-party adjuster fees are often a significant percentage of all the money paid for your claim, so think carefully before going that route as you could end up with less money than if you just accepted the insurer’s offer. 7. Learn from your experience. Going through the claims process may make you rethink the coverage limits, optional coverages, and deductibles you chose for your policy. You can’t change your policy to help you with your current claim, but you can make changes for the future. Chat with your insurance agent to review your experience and see what changes you can make.

California’s gig worker fight is back in the courts
T
he high-stakes conflict over whether those who drive for Uber, Lyft and other delivery and rideshare companies are employees or independent contractors recenlty entered a new phase in an Alameda County courtroom. DAN WALTERS Judge Frank Roesch declared that Proposition 22, a 2020 ballot measure sponsored by Uber, etal, to overturn a state Supreme Court decision and a state law, is unconstitutional. The measure exempted the companies’ drivers from being classified as employees but Roesch said that it violates the state constitution by interfering with the Legislature’s ability to make the drivers eligible for worker’s compensation benefits. Thus, he said, “The entirety of Proposition 22 is unenforceable.” His ruling is, of course, not the last California’s epic word on the longbattle over the running conflict that has pitted Uber and status of gig workers other “gig work” has entered a companies against new phase with a unions in judicial and political arenas. judge overturning The case will almost Proposition 22, certainly climb the a 2020 ballot judicial ladder to the state Supreme Court, measure sponsored but the companies by Uber and other will face a tough transportation and audience since they would be, in effect, delivery companies. asking the court to overturn itself. Three years ago the Supreme Court unanimously imposed a three-way test to determine whether a worker is a payroll employee or can be classified as an independent contractor, making it much more difficult for the contractor designation to be applied. The Dynamex case, so named for a San Diego package delivery company that had converted its drivers from employees to contractors, was a huge win for labor unions because it meant more payroll workers could, in theory, become union members. While California’s union membership is fairly high at 16.2% of the state’s 15 million workers, fewer than half are in the private sector. Just 15% of the state’s workers are government employees but they account for more than half of union membership. As the state’s economy evolved into services, technology and logistics, private sector union membership shrank and an increase in nonemployee gig work, such as driving for Uber and Lyft, accelerated the trend. Unions considered it “misclassification” that denied fringe benefits to gig workers and pushed the issue into the Supreme Court with the Dynamex

Letters to the Editor Wake up, people EDITOR: ’m just home from over a month on the Dixie fire for R & R ... and I come home to this. I’ve been following the Caldor Fire since it started because it’s so close to home. I’m very near the evacuation lines and I’ve opened my home to family and friends and offered whatever help I can be. As an active firefighter living with and working with this constant deadly threat, I only wonder when folks will finally wake up and demand something be done. You’ve heard that before: “Someone should do something.” Well, that someone is you. Before you vote, make sure a candidate is willing to actually address this issue. It’s a little more important than much of the trivial stuff they argue and bicker about. Before you build or buy a home, make sure you clean, thin and trim trees and brush and demand your neighbors do the same. If they don’t, call. This county has a law regarding this, Supervisors, put some teeth into it and make it known. Sheriffs, while out on patrol, take note of fire fuel-laden properties that are just waiting to burn. Local fire agencies, do the same. Forest Service personnel, do your damn job and actually take care of our forest instead of just watching them burn year after year. County workers, where are you? The sides of the roads are a mess, hanging tree limbs, weeds, leaves, brush and trash — maybe do your job too. Start issuing some citations with healthy fines attached to the worst of the offenders and make it public — if they don’t pay, lien property. Clean or burn, it’s that simple. How dare some slob take me with him because he’s just too damn lazy. If we all don’t step up to the plate, we will all have hell to pay. My last article regarding this topic ended with: Does anybody remember Paradise? Well, now we can add Grizzly Flat to the evergrowing list. It makes me sick to see that some still just don’t care. Where does it end? It ends with you. JIM ALLEN Placerville

today. We can’t keep putting off this problem to endless quiche-eating gabfests that get us nowhere. So-called environmentalist lawsuits have effectively decimated timber sales with delay. It’s like a lawsuit that delays a corn harvest until the corn has rotted in the field and it’s a moot point. Also, hoaxes like the spotted owl hammered the timber industry and closed mills all over the state. ‘We need a law preventing these so-called environmentalist lawsuits, active planning, cruising and marking of Forest Service timber sales, mapping, subdividing and preparing for bid thinning contracts on federal land and the resurrection of the timber industry. In Camino move out the RV storage lot and rebuild the Sierra Pacific mill. Rebuild mills all over the state. Not only will this aid in restoring the health of the forests in our state but also impact the sky-high lumber prices that have been driving up home costs. Remember, the forests contain a crop; they are not parks. There is a reason that the U.S. Forest Service is in the Department of Agriculture and not the Department of the Interior. GEORGE ALGER Placerville
Water for wildlife EDITOR: am appalled at the recent article warning against providing water for wildlife. I have a herd of deer on my 3 acres. I’d prefer that they were elsewhere and it’s certainly not the best habitat for them but there aren’t a lot of choices these days, are there? In case the writer of that piece has not noticed, there is wildlife everywhere. And there will be more. And they will congregate. How dare anyone tell me not to provide water for living creatures in a drought. SYLVIA MEDLEY El Dorado

case. After winning in court, they shifted their battle to the Capitol by sponsoring Assembly Bill 5, a 2019 measure that placed the Dynamex ruling’s threeway test into law with a few selective exemptions such as cosmetologists and real estate agents. As soon as Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the legislation, the transportation companies launched the initiative campaign to carve out an exemption for their drivers, resulting in Proposition 22’s appearance on the 2020 ballot. The companies spent $200-plus million on a saturation campaign to enact the measure, more than 10 times what unions and their allies spent to oppose it, and it passed by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. Its passage was remarkable not only for how much money was spent to persuade voters, but that it passed so handily in an overwhelmingly Democratic state despite being denounced by

virtually every Democratic political figure. Defeated at the polls, the unions returned to the judicial system and chose Alameda County, one of California’s most Democrat and union friendly areas, as its venue. They also very cleverly avoided a direct confrontation on the gig worker issue by arguing that Proposition 22 undermines the workers’ compensation system, and Judge Roesch agreed. The ultimate outcome will have impacts far beyond the drivers for Uber, Lyft and other gig work companies. The issue is percolating in other states and in the federal government and Proposition 22’s fate will either encourage or discourage other industries from seeking similar exemptions.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). A good meal, interesting conversation, a peaceful walk... such simple pleasures will be savored when you stick to the original plan. Sidenote: What if you adopted a zero tolerance policy for flakey people? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Care, love, tenderness, ambition, obsession... all are forms of attention that manifest in action. Where there is no evidence of attention, there is no evidence of love. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll spend time with people who make you want to work with them. Good people will learn who you are and will work with your strengths to create something unique with you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Before things get interesting (and they will), cherish eventless times. There’s beauty in an uninterrupted routine and loveliness in the unfolding of a predictable day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s easy to think of yourself as the wave — riding ups and downs, feeling at times like the crest and then like the trough. But those are just states. You are not the wave. You are the water. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Who cares the most about the situation? It’s the one who has to live with it day to day; not the temporary agent. You’ll make sure the right people get their say — the ones affected. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a communication breakthrough. It’s satisfying because of the times
before when you struggled to chase down the point and missed. Now you know what you’re trying to say, and you say it well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a difference between teamwork and the operations of a dictatorship. Tune into the subtle ways people try to control one another. Avoid anyone focused on making others do their bidding. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be often making plans, remembering something or observing a reality that is representational of another moment. Each time that you bring yourself fully to “now” is an enrichment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Reality and imagination will blend together for you. You will live what you imagine, and you will imagine based on what you live. Your creativity is shaping your experience, and others want to be a part of what you make. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You crave adventure, but your idea of it is not the same as another person’s. So before you share in the quest, get clear on your preferences. The best mark to hit will feel safe, but not too comfortable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you bring to relationships is unique; you make sure of it. A winning strategy for creating memories: Make big moments small, and make small moments big.
Down 17-10 to Vacaville with 21 seconds left and 17 yards to go for the touchdown, Oak Ridge junior quarterback Maddox Varella stood poised in the pocket ready to pass. Less than two minutes earlier the Trojans defense forced a punt, giving the offense the ball at its own 20 with 1:42 to play. Varella hadn’t played until the fourth quarter and only had two varsity passes to his name entering the contest. On seemingly every play, the 6-foot, 1-inch, 190-pound quarterback had to avoid Vacaville defenders doing anything possible to bring down the signalcaller for a sack. Varella got the ball off each time, throwing to receivers for gains of 21, 10 and 10 before making a 23-yard run to get the Trojans to the 17-yard line with less than a minute to play. Three straight plays Varella threw the ball incomplete into the end zone before suddenly it was fourth down and Vacaville’s crowd was cheering on its Bulldogs, pleading them for one more stop. Varella received the snap, took a few steps back in the pocket and slung a pass to where his only receiver Sean Dwyer could catch it in the corner of the end zone. Dwyer caught the ball but the referee called him out of bounds, giving the ball back to Vacaville and effectively ending the ball game. It appeared as if Dwyer was out of bounds by about half an inch. Dwyer immediately put his hands on his helmet in disbelief at just how close Oak Ridge was to tieing it up. “It hurt pretty bad,” Varella said. “I am proud of the team for fighting until the last second, the last play. I know we got better tonight but it’s always sad when such a close game like this is one play away and we can’t make the play.” Oak Ridge left El Dorado Hills Friday unsure if its game that
Oak Ridge junior quarterback Maddox Varella nearly completed a drive for the ages Friday in Vacaville. With under 2 minutes to play, Varella led an 80-yard drive that ended a half-inch shy of the game tying-touchdown. night at Vacaville High School would happen due to air quality that night in Vacaville. “We got down here, we waited it out and we wanted to play,” said Oak Ridge head coach Casey Taylor. “It’s important for both of us to play and we want to play anytime, anyone, anywhere. We got here and made it happen.” After waiting for the air quality to sink below 150 AQI — all while seeing virtually every Sacramento region football game get canceled or postponed due to bad air quality from the Caldor Fire — the junior varsity game kicked off late at 6:13 p.m. A couple hours later, Oak Ridge varsity kicked the ball. To prepare for the league season beginning Sept. 17 against teams like Folsom, Rocklin, Del Oro and Granite Bay, Taylor scheduled a difficult non-league slate against Cosumnes Oaks, Vacaville, Lincoln (Stockton) and Elk Grove. After tagging a powerful Cosumnes Oaks for a 42-0 win in the opening week, the Trojans made their way to Vacaville where a capacity crowd wearing Bulldog orange and black greeted them. Taylor said the crowd was similar to a playoff atmosphere and that he loves these games, especially early in the season. The squads traded punts on each team’s first two possessions before Vacaville senior running back Darian Leon-Guerrero got in the end zone giving the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 0:59 to play in the first quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Trojans senior
Reese Catchings returned the kickoff 50-yards to set up a short field for the Trojans. Junior quarterback Drew Cowart drove the Trojans down the field before hitting senior wide receiver Aden Clark for a 7-yard touchdown, knotting up the score 7-7. Vacaville tried to put up more points before halftime, but senior defensive tackle Joey Whiting recorded his second sack of the evening to send the teams into the locker room all tied up. On Vacaville’s first possession of the third quarter Leon-Guerrero carried the ball for a 67-yard touchdown, putting the Bulldogs up 14-7 with 9:23 to play in the third quarter. Oak Ridge had chances but whenever the Trojans got close to scoring a turnover occurred. Two of those turnovers happened in the end zone. “We can’t turn the ball over three times offensively and win,” Taylor said. Down 17-7 in the fourth, Taylor put in backup quarterback Varella. “We were struggling offensively,” Taylor said. “I didn’t think Drew played bad or not. He had a couple turnovers but we just felt we needed a spark and Maddox came in and made some plays for us. Vacaville took a 17-7 lead after tacking on a field goal and the Trojans had to move the ball. Varella got the ball into Vacaville territory and Carson Nichols buried a 35-yard field goal with 7:39 left to ■

the wildfire, which as of Tuesday morning had scorched 191,607 acres and stood 16% contained. “This firefight is still far from done,” Unified Incident Commander Dusty Martin said during Cal Fire’s daily online community meeting Monday evening. The Caldor blaze grew by more than 30,000 acres over the weekend, during which flames jumped Highway 50 from the north side into the community of Strawberry, which officials had hoped would go unscathed along with Camp Sacramento. “They were in a firefight in there,” but the battle ended with no known structure losses, said Cody Bogan, Cal Fire operations section chief. Camp Sacramento also appears to have been spared. Further up the Highway 50 corridor toward Echo Lake, the fire’s progression made for “a rough, long day for the troops up there today,” Bogan added. “But they have been decently successful. Luckily, the fuel’s kind of run out and it slowed the fire progression down.” Crews encountered additional challenges Monday when the fire crossed over Highway 88 and pushed toward Kirkwood Mountain Resort, where dozers were deployed in an attempt to cut off the flames, Bogan said. The Homewood community, on Lake Tahoe’s west side, currently lies out of harm’s way, but fire personnel are staging there “in case the fire does make a push up that way,” Bogan said. So far, Cal Fire has documented 497 structures destroyed and 40 more damaged since the incident’s Aug. 14 start, and multiple damage inspection teams have been sent out to tally losses from the past several days. Meanwhile, some areas have seen their evacuation orders downgraded to warning status, and once the wind activity has calmed later this week, Cal Fire plans to assess areas such as Sly Park, Pollock Pines and Camino to determine whether residents can return to their homes. “We still have to make sure it’s safe before we put you back in your community,” Martin said. “We don’t want to allow folks back into the community and have them leave again.” Martin also noted that troops from the California National Guard are expected to arrive in the area in the coming days to assist the California Highway Patrol and El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office with duties such as managing traffic-control points.

play cutting the lead to 17-10. The Trojans defense played lights out and got its offense the ball back with 5:02 left. Oak Ridge couldn’t score and Vacaville got the ball back. With a chance to melt the clock to under a minute, the Bulldogs didn’t seem to want the game to end. They threw an incomplete pass to stop the clock and then on third and long, their running back went out of bounds to stop the clock and give the Trojans 1:42 to work with.
Varella led the Trojans down the field before ultimately falling short 17-10. After the game Varella went up to each Trojans offensive player to give them words of encouragement, especially his offensive line. “They played their heart out and I thought they played very well,” Varella said. The Trojans face another tough test Friday when powerhouse Lincoln of Stockton makes the trip into El Dorado Hills for a 7 p.m. battle.
Repass had 85 receiving yards to go with the touchdown, adding four tackles, one of them for a loss, three extra point kicks and an interception. For his performance, he is up for Sac Bee Player of the Week. Sophomore Christian Grant had 10 tackles and junior Peyton Powell added an interception. Ponderosa’s game against Vista del Lago was canceled to due COVID-19 protocols and El Dorado’s home game against Bear River was put off due to smoke from the Caldor Fire.

Owens also rushed for 37 yards and another touchdown. Colton Springer scored his second and third rushing touchdowns on the season and also caught a 28-yard pass from Owens.

Super Scouts give back to the community Eagle Scout shows his respect for the flag Thomas Frey Staff writer
I
t became a common occurrence for Ian Roberts of Placerville to find people who needed to retire their American flags. Roberts, 17, decided to devote his Eagle Scout project build and install flag collection boxes. “This project is important to me because I have always loved America and her flag,” Roberts said. “I’d hate to see one lying in a dumpster or on the side of the road when there are better ways for it to be laid to rest.” Roberts is a part of Boy Scout Troop 700 based in Rescue. For nearly a year he spent about 100 total hours building two flag collection boxes. On Aug. 11 he presented the first box to the Rescue Fire Department and the Rescue Post Office, which sit side by side. The second flag retirement box will be placed at El Dorado Hills Fire Station 86. “I am choosing to place this box at the Rescue Volunteer Fire Department because they help our Boy Scout Troop and we wouldn’t exist without them,” Roberts said. El Dorado Hills/Rescue Fire Chief Maurice Johnson came out to congratulate and thank Roberts for his service to the community, saying the box was

Roberts handed Johnson came from Robert’s grandfather’s home in Florida. During a storm the flag was displaced
and Roberts went into the water to bring the flag to safety and back to California for its special retirement ceremony.
Kaitlin Davey diving deep into Bass Lake flora Sel Richard Staff writer
P
onderosa High School senior and aspiring environmental scientist Kaitlin Davey has been scouring Bass Lake Regional Park for soap. Actually it’s a wavy leaf soap plant, and it’s only one of a host of plants Davey has been cataloging for the past seven months. For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Davey created an information website through a partnership with the El Dorado Hills Community Services District. The site not only offers statistics on 16 bird species, 43 area plants divided into perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees and grasses but also includes a map of the park split into 12 zones based on distinct features and the various plants and landscapes found in each of them. “I’ve always been interested in environmental science and just our environment around us,” Davey told the Mountain Democrat. In January, Davey met with local Bass Lake Regional Park guru Rowland Gaal to discuss the environmental needs of the community. When Gaal mentioned his work on a BLRP plants database, Davey thought she could expand on the idea. What started as a list of 20 plants burgeoned into a project that details the size and physical aspects of each plant, how it impacts the environment and also a fun fact. Davey checked in regularly with Gaal and Madeline Franke of the California Native Plant Society to ensure content accuracy and collaborated with CSD communications specialist April West and staff services analyst Jeff Kernen to create the website, which the CSD will maintain and may expand. “Kaitlin’s ability to manage a project, work with staff, community volunteers ... and individual contributors, like Jeff Hendy who helped in providing photographs, was simply fantastic,” West said. “She coordinated meetings, information and reached out for direction when needed; this was 100% a girl-led project.” “I was super impressed with the result,” said Kernen. “I’m excited to put it out there on our website and incorporate this idea for other things besides just Bass Lake.” Although Davey admitted the research was challenging, she said meeting people at the park was easily her favorite part of the project. “I had no idea there would be so many people out there like bird watchers, educators and people who have connections with the environment who wanted to get involved in the project and

Girl Scout Kaitlin Davey spent months cataloging birds and plants found in Bass Lake Regional Park. were excited about it,” she said. “I couldn’t get pictures of all the birds so I have a couple of volunteers who are giving me their really good photos of birds.” Having joined Girl Scouts in the first grade, Davey credits the organization’s focus on the outdoors as a key component of her love for environmental science. “It’s been cool getting to go on camping trips and learning about different ways we affect our environment,” she said. “I like learning about it because it’s something that we all have to deal with. It’s just really interesting.” This fall she will dive into college applications, already planning to declare a major in environmental science. But while the days of summer still simmer,
Davey keeps busy finishing up her website, completing AP class summer homework and preparing for marching band season as trumpet section leader. She even squeezed in a week of arts camp, where she focused on black and white film photography. Her newly acquired skills will be on display as she snapped most of the website’s plant pictures. She insists she tries to spend as much time relaxing as possible, stealing lazy hours with her nose in a book. “I like reading a lot,” she said, revealing that “Harry Potter” is a habitual indulgence. “It’s so fun. I usually try and read the series once every summer.” Davey’s website will be accessible on the EDHCSD’s website some time this month.

PROSPECTING Walk with Austin TRYathlon looking for competitors Sel Richard Staff writer
K
ids up to 18 years old with disabilities have a chance to compete in the upcoming, inaugural Walk with Austin TRYathlon, an adaptive event in which participants can walk, jog, swim and bike, roll or hitch a ride on a parent’s bike and customize each segment to individual abilities. Founder of Walk with Austin Holly Reininger was inspired by a friend’s experience in Fort Worth, Texas, where a similar event
is put on by Cook Children’s Medical Center. Reininger’s own 6-year-old son Austin has hereditary spastic paraplegia, a rare disease characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity or stiffness of the legs. With a grin his face strives to contain, Austin takes his disability in stride, often alongside his Italian Mastiff, Leia, whose favorite activity is retrieving items that Austin drops. But Reininger hopes Austin will soon see that Leia isn’t his only fan. “I think our

community is pretty sports obsessed — especially for kids,” she said. “My older kids are in a bunch of sports and Austin ends up being the forever spectator, which he doesn’t mind at all. But I wanted something that was made just for him that didn’t have to be tailored in a way that he would be the only one there who needed adaptive stuff. I knew that it was more than just Austin that needed an avenue for recreation and a community event.” The event, postponed last year due to pandemic-induced shutdowns, requires each participant to have at least one coach per leg of the event to assist with the transfer stations and adaptive equipment. “I like the idea of them training to get ready for the race together, having that kind of bonding that they don’t normally get to do,” said Reininger, who suggests getting the whole family and friends involved. Participants can have a different coach for each segment. Racers have two options for each leg, a 100M or 150M swim, a 1K or 2K run or roll and a 2K or 3K bike ride. A staging area

With no requirement to disclose disabilities, Reininger hopes to field competitors from all areas, including kids with spectrum disorders, down syndrome, muscular dystrophy or anyone who wouldn’t typically participate in mainstream sports. “It’s so that they feel celebrated,” Reininger shared. “They’re so used to cheering for their family members for
different things. This way their siblings and their friends are coming out to cheer for them. It’s their big event.” Racers receive a T-shirt, bib, swag bag and, of course, a medal. “Everyone gets first place,” Reininger grinned. “We’re going to have a podium with just No. 1 on it so everyone gets a picture.” Participants will enjoy a DJ and music at the finisher party, along with local
demonstrations and food trucks. Look for booths representing sponsors and community partners with services for special needs kids. The event is presented by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District and the EDH Promise Foundation, which is handing out scholarships for kids in need. “It’s been really nice ■

his is a proper Sierra Nevada mountain hiking trail. Shealor Lake Trail has it all with mountain views, mountain lakes, wildflowers in spring and the peace and quiet of a moderately challenging trail. It is a bit short at only 5 miles round trip but there is some elevation change and loose rock that make it moderately challenging so wear sturdy shoes; if you have trekking poles bring them along. The drive out Mormon Emigrant Trail and Highway 88 in El Dorado County are great previews to the hike that starts just above 8,000 feet in elevation. I went in early summer and the wildflowers were stunning. The parking area was paved and had ample space. There are no toilets at

The one sign I found on the trail was to the right of the trailhead map high up on a tree that simply said “trail.” The adventure took me through the trees and out onto the exposed granite of the mountain. I stayed right to check out the view of the surrounding mountains as well as the glacial erratic rocks scattered there. Off to my left I could see the lake and picked my way across the rock

GROW FOR IT! Water wisdom for times of drought
T
he keys to drought survival for your garden and landscaping are: 1. Decide which of your plants to save and which to “let go” 2. Make thrifty use of the water you do have; and 3. Consider setting up new water conservation methods Helpful landscaping guidelines Trees and bushes: Give them a deep drink now so that water will reach down to the top 3 feet of soil then once or twice until it rains or when showing signs of stress such as drooping leaves that don’t recover overnight unless you give it more water. • Mulch with 3 inches of straw or other cover. • Avoid over-fertilizing to reduce water demand. Lawn: Let it go. Annuals: Let them go and try again next year. Fruit trees: Save the trees. Let the crop go. • Give trees a deep drink now so that water reaches down to the top 3 feet of soil then once or twice until it rains or when they show signs of stress. • Thin out the fruit that is present or remove it. • Mulch with 3 inches of straw or other cover. Vegetables: Save the plants that yield the food you plan to eat. Let the rest go. • Avoid over-fertilizing to reduce water demand. Container Plants: Save your favorites and let the others go. • Apply water when plants show signs of water stress such as leaves that are droopy, yellow, curled, appear sunburned or are dropping off. Consider installing drip, hydroponic or other self-watering system for water efficiency. • Apply 3 inches of mulch and provide shade from the hottest daytime temperatures.

Mary Tran UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County General care and maintenance of your garden include removing weeds as they compete with your plants for water. Check your sprinklers and drip irrigation for leaks, blocked emitters/ sprinkler heads and make sure that the water is going directly to the plants and not over-spraying onto your hardscape, creating runoff. Avoid adding asphalt, bricks or other kinds of paving because they tend to form heat islands. If your irrigations system is on a timer, be sure to set the timer to water only in the cool of the morning so you’re not losing water to evaporation. Consider changing your irrigation system from sprinklers to a drip system. If you water by hand, apply just the amount of water needed and only water in the cool of the morning. There are various methods used to calculate how many gallons of water your hose expels in one minute to allow you to water more efficiently. To find a method of calculation visit irrigation.wsu.edu/ Content/Calculators/ Residential/GardenHose-Flow.php. Other ways to use water more efficiently include setting up a graywater system to capture laundry water and deliver it into the garden or landscape. You can also use rain barrels attached to downspouts of rain gutters to harvest rainwater for all-season use or utilizing selfwatering devices such as hydroponics or dripper cans.

Caputos have many golden memories
O
n July 4 Steve and Sharon Caputo of Shingle Springs celebrated their golden anniversary. They met through a friend of Steve’s and while Steve was stationed in Germany with the U.S. Air Force, they communicated regularly and looked forward to spending time together on his return. Sharon graduated from Aragon High School in San Mateo in 1964, from San Francisco State in 1968 with a major in Spanish and minor in music and received her teaching credential (K-9) from San Francisco State in 1969. Steve attended Salesian High School in Richmond and graduated in 1964. He received his bachelor’s degree in industrial technology from San Jose State a few years after their marriage in 1971. After the wedding the couple moved to Texas where Steve was still doing active duty with the Air Force, then to Merced at Castle AFB where Sharon continued her teaching career in grades three and six. Upon retirement from the Air Force, they moved to Campbell where Steve used his technical skills working for a computer company. When that company had lay-offs, he was offered a job at Moffet Field as a civilian employee continuing to teach pilots to fly in simulators. Steve was also a member of the Naval Reserves for many years at Moffet Field and retired with an impressive military ceremony. Steve and Sharon lived in Campbell for 15 years until Moffet Field closed Steve’s department. Sharon worked as a teller and new accounts person for a savings and loan bank for three years before being hired at St. Joseph of Cupertino School as a grade three and then grade five teacher for 9 ½ years. She also served as a school choir director and song leader for the church. Steve was able to transfer to the Sacramento Army Depot and then to McClellan AFB before both closed. Done with government service, Steve decided to try bus driving and loves it. He started out driving for El Dorado Transit, next as a sub for the Rescue Union School District, then quickly changed to the El Dorado Union High
The Caputos were married on July 4, 1971. School District where he has been for more than 10 years. Sharon’s teaching career is extensive. Upon moving to El Dorado County and having her widowed mother, in poor health, with the family, she started out working in Extended Day for El Dorado County Office of Education. After several years at Rescue School, she was asked to use her Spanish knowledge to teach after-school classes at several local schools. At Louisiana Schnell School the principal suggested that she start her own business. The new business thrived at Schnell, Sierra School, Indian Creek School and Herbert Green Middle School for more than 20 years. Her classes gave elementary students the chance to learn basics before they started the intensive high-school classes. She taught seventh and eighth grade Spanish at Edwin Markham School for two years and taught summer school for Mother Lode Union School District for two years and was its gifted program teacher for a year also. Then on to St. John of Notre Dame School in Folsom where she taught Spanish to grades first through eighth for three years. After that she was the Spanish teacher for sixth through eighth grades at Rolling Hills Middle School in El Dorado Hills for a year until lack of seniority came into play. During all of this she was also employed by El Dorado County Office of Education to teach high-school Spanish 1 at the now Charter Connections Academy situated at Charles Brown School in El Dorado. She is still teaching there and loves the small classes and alternative style of
teaching which enables at-risk and specialneeds students as well as all students a better chance to succeed. She always tells everyone that she will continue as long as she is able to. The Caputos are world travelers as well, visiting Europe, Mexico and Hawaii all twice, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Japan, Australia, Russia and soon Egypt. They drove across country in 1976 visiting family and friends and seeing a lot of the U.S. These travels have enabled Sharon to share cultural information with her students. When not traveling most summers are spent at the family cabin at Clear Lake built by Sharon’s father in the 1920s. Being a handyman like his father and father-in-law, Steve enjoys repairing and remodeling the cabin while Sharon and the dogs swim at their beach. The Caputos have hosted four exchange students through the years and loved every minute of it. Their first from Germany, Florian, lived with them for a year and attended Oak Ridge High School where he participated on the swim team and in choir. He wanted to be a pilot and came to improve his English. He is now a head pilot for Luftansa. The second, Oliver (Ollie), also from Germany, attended Ponderosa High School for only a half year in the U.S. Since Steve was born in Germany and was stationed there with the Air Force he especially enjoyed the students from Germany. The third student, Andre, from Switzerland attended Folsom Lake College in Placerville also for just a half year. The fourth, Leo, from Brazil, attended Ponderosa for n

working with the CSD because they have all the facilities, route guides and experience putting on this kind of thing,” Reininger said, adding the CSD is also providing lifeguards and first aid stations. “It’s very safe because it’s all on the campus. There are no street closures needed.” Proceeds from the event will fund an allabilities playground at the new Bass Lake Regional Park, for which Reininger is targeting $250,000, but has currently raised only $50,000. She points out that an inclusive park with one inclusive element is a far cry from the playground she hopes to install. “Nobody goes to the park for one item. They want to play all around,” she declared, revealing that Austin and his little sister Avery are excitedly saving up their own contributions. “They have $4 so far.” The Walk with Austin TRYathlon will take place 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 25, with the finisher party from noon to 1 p.m. at the EDH Community Park and Pool. Preregistration is required. The event is made possible through a grant from the El Dorado Community Foundation.

the full year, went home for about two months and returned to finish his education here. The Caputos offered him the chance to stay with them while he continued his education. He graduated from Folsom Lake College, then went on to California State University, Sacramento, where he earned his degree in business. After perfecting his English, employers were anxious to hire someone who speaks three languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese) fluently as
well as having business expertise. He even became an American citizen and lived in the U.S. for almost 20 years. The Caputos have had the families of their students here and have visited the families in their home countries and feel wonderfully enriched by those experiences and learning about other cultures also. They encourage others to enrich their lives in the same way. Congratulations and many more happy years to follow.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED December 21, 2010. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On October 20, 2021 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on December 28, 2010 as Instrument No. 2010-0063553-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by ERNEST W PURCELL, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., A NATIONAL BANKING ASSOCIATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4581 VOLO MINE RD, DIAMOND SPRINGS, CA 95619 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $205,315.79 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07001404-19-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07001404-19-1 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.

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 (800) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-663. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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 (800) 683-2468, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-663 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 Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d) (2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED April 15, 2015. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On September 29, 2021 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on April 21, 2015 as Instrument No. 2015-0016387-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by MARIS KLAVINS, AN UNMARRIED MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for AMERICAN PACIFIC MORTGAGE CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 498 LAKERIDGE COURT, EL DORADO HILLS, CA 95762 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title,
possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $854,152.07 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000786-19-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000786-19-1 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.
