allegedly occurred inside ambulances Pat Lakey Staff writer A former El Dorado County Fire Protection District firefighter/ paramedic who has been languishing in Joshua Stephen the Placerville Huffman jail since 2018, with bail set at $4 million, is set to go to trial Sept. 22 on charges of molesting females who were being transported by ambulance while he was on duty. One of the victims reportedly was younger than 10 years old when the alleged sexual contact occurred; the other was in her mid-teens, the Mountain Democrat has learned. n

Michael Raley, 35, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder charges after he reportedly Michael Raley shot his 68-yearold roommate in the chest with a crossbow Saturday night. Raley and the victim were acquaintances staying at a Rescue property where a disturbance occurred at about 11 p.m. between Raley and another individual. The victim attempted to intervene and was shot by crossbow, according to El Dorado County sheriff 's investigators. The victim was transported in a private vehicle to Marshall Hospital where sheriff 's officials said he was listed in critical condition Monday. Raley reportedly fled the scene but was apprehended several hours later by detectives.
Protesters and counterprotesters came face to face in downtown Placerville Friday night as Black Lives Matter demonstrators took their message to the courthouse steps. Marking 57 years to the day since Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, it was a mostly peaceful evening with confrontations local law enforcement officers were able to minimize. King Jr. on the historic day delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, standing in front of the Lincoln Monument before some 250,000 marchers — calling for equality and an end to segregation. Elizabeth Dubose of Pollock Pines, one of the organizers of BLM demonstrations held locally over the past several months, on Friday recited King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech through loudspeaker, with others recalling the words of civil rights activist John Lewis, who also spoke at the 1963 March on Washington. “Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis and Malcolm X were similar to people like me and you ... just normal people who started a grassroots movement,” she said. “During that period Black people were beaten, sprayed with fire hoses and killed. They still moved forward and I will too. I keep hearing people say there has been so much progress since than. If so then why are Black people still being shot and killed by police? Why did I just yesterday meet with people to n

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new plan Friday to ease restrictions on a California economy struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s good news for El Dorado County eateries. El Dorado County restaurants were allowed to resume indoor service in a limited capacity of 25% beginning Monday. “We are excited to be able to have customers come back inside, even if in a limited capacity,” said Christina Azbill owner of Red Rooster Burger and Brew in Garden Valley. “It’s been hot and smokey so a lot of the regulars have wanted to sit inside and said they would show back up when they

could,” Azbill said. “It will be wonderful to have them back.” At a bustling Sweetie Pie’s Monday morning tables on the outdoor patio were all full and inside, with tables spaced 6 feet apart, hungry folk were digging into their flapjacks and sipping on hot coffee. Pilar Cortes, manager of the popular bakery and cafe said, “I’m happy for it. We’ve been waiting for this. We were waiting the last 3-4 months. We are just happy to be open.” Under the governor’s new plan counties are rated by risk level. There are four, color-coded tiers: Widespread (purple) — Non-essential, indoor business operations are closed. Daily new cases are more than 7 per 100,000 population and new positive tests are more than 8% positivity rate. Substantial (red) — Some nonessential indoor business operations are n

Firefighters making progress on California wildfires Dawn Hodson Staff writer Nearly 16,000 firefighters continue to battle some two dozen major fires and lightning complexes across California. Cal Fire officials report firefighters are making good progress on a number of fronts, as reflected in the increased containment figures on all the fires. The SCU Lightning Complex, which includes the counties of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Stanislaus, is the second-largest wildfire in state history, has consumed 390,157 acres and is 70% contained, as of Tuesday morning. The LNU Lightning Complex, which includes the counties of Napa, Sonoma, Lake, Yolo and Solano, is the third-largest wildfire in state history, has burned 375,209 acres and is 69% contained. The August Complex, burning in the Mendocino National Forest, is the ninthlargest wildfire in state history, has burned

242,941 acres and is 20% contained. One firefighter was killed and another injured Monday fighting that fire. There have now been eight reported fatalities and nearly 2,500 structures destroyed. As progress has been made in battling the blazes, many evacuation orders have been lifted or downgraded but over 60,000 people remain evacuated. Aiding in the battle, on Monday Cal Fire
reported that 10 Israeli firefighters had arrived in California to assist in dousing the wildfires. Their two-week deployment is the first time Israelis have been assigned to fight fires in the United States. The Israeli crews arrived in Sacramento over the weekend and will be assigned to wildfires burning throughout Northern California. Since the lightning siege started Aug. 15 there have been nearly
14,000 lightning strikes and more than 840 wildfires, which have now burned over 1.42 million acres. The acreage burned makes the fires collectively larger than the state of Delaware. Seasonable weather conditions continue to aid firefighters in their efforts toward containment at lower elevations.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
SHAPE SHIFTING When teeth are irregularly shaped, slightly rotated, chipped, uneven, overlapping, or elongated, patients may assume the answer rests with orthodontic treatment. However, in a great many cases of the examples previously mentioned, teeth can be fixed with one of the quickest, least expensive, and conservative treatments in the dentist’s repertoire. “Tooth recontouring” (or “shaping”) simply involves removing small portions of tooth enamel with the goal of changing the tooth’s length, shape, or surface. All it takes is the skillful use of a sanding instrument that abrades, smooths, and polishes problematic features of a tooth.

LeConte runs 253 miles to help build Pollock playground Dawn Hodson Staff writer Taking up the challenge to run for the money, last week 60-year-old Camino man Herve LeConte showed off his endurance chops when he ran for four straight days and nights — or 96 hours — to help raise funds to build a public children’s park in Pollock Pines, something the community is lacking. A project sponsored by the Community Economic Development Association of Pollock Pines (CEDAPP), LeConte used a treadmill at the El Dorado County sheriff ’s headquarters for the run. Jeanne Harper, executive director of CEDAPP, said over the four

days they were able to raise close to $5,000 for the project, with donations still coming in. Just five minutes before the run was complete LeConte burned out the treadmill at the sheriff ’s facility but he jumped on another treadmill to finish his run at 253 miles. Once finished LeConte was treated to cheers and applause as people gathered to greet him as he left the building. LeConte, who said he grew up on the streets in Paris, told Harper he was glad to help out. “Kids belong in playgrounds, not on the street,” he said. The goal of the fundraiser was ■

Booked into the county jail Feb. 21, 2018, was Joshua Stephen Huffman, 33 years old at the time of booking, who worked for El Dorado County Fire from 2012 to 2015, from what the newspaper could find in an online search. County Fire Chief Tim Cordero said he would research the exact dates of Huffman’s employment and would get back to the Mountain Democrat; he had not done so by press time Tuesday. Huffman stands accused of touching the two victims, in cases that occurred several years apart, in a sexual manner. Charges listed on the jail booking sheet include oral copulation of a victim younger than 10 years old. He also is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14 and sexual penetration by force. In an incident that is said to have occurred in 2014 or 2016, the teenage victim reported to Placerville police what she said happened inside the ambulance, on the way to the hospital. Huffman was not arrested until after the second, much younger girl came forward, the newspaper has learned. It is thought Huffman had left El Dorado County Fire and moved to a different county, the county where the second victim lived. Prosecuting attorney Lisette Suder declined to answer questions, saying the DA’s Office is hoping “not to taint the jury pool.” Suder explained that in these days of COVID-19 restrictions, it is hard enough to seat a qualified jury without the case stirring public interest in the media. Jury selection is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22, in Superior Court Judge Kenneth Melikian’s Dept. 2 courtroom at the county courthouse on Main Street in Placerville. Huffman has retained the services of Sacramento attorney Joseph A. Welch.

closed. Daily new cases are 4-7 per 100,000 population and the positivity rate is 5-8%, Moderate (orange) — Some indoor business operations are open with modifications. Daily new cases are 1-3.9 per 100,000 population and new positive tests 2-4.9%. Minimal (yellow) — Most indoor business operations are open with modifications. Daily new cases are less than 1 per 100,000 population and the positivity rate is less than 2%. As of Friday only three counties — Alpine, Modoc and Tuolumne — are in the yellow or “minimal” category with 38 counties in the purple or “widespread” tier. Restaurants in counties rated “widespread” are only able to serve customers outdoors. Once a county moves into “substantial,” restaurants can serve indoors, but at 25% capacity. In “moderate” and “minimal” counties, restaurants may open at 50% capacity indoors. El Dorado County is currently rated “substantial” despite the latest state data showing 3.5 cases per 100,000 population or 3.6% positivity rate. The governor’s plan requires a county to meet the next tier’s criteria for two consecutive weeks to move forward and because counties were categorized using data from Aug. 5-18, El Dorado County fell into “substantial.” El Dorado County Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams sees
the county moving to “moderate” in coming weeks. “We received confirmation from the California Department of Public Health that if El Dorado County data remains below a four-new-cases-perday average along with test positivity below 5% over the most recent, two consecutive seven-day periods, we will move from our current red/ substantial tier to orange/moderate the week of Sept. 21,” Williams states in a press release issued Tuesday morning. Each Tuesday the state Department of Public Health will update data and recategorize counties, if warranted. “This blueprint is statewide, stringent and slow,” states Newsom in Friday’s announcement of the new plan. “We have made notable progress over recent weeks, but the disease is still too widespread across the state. COVID-19 will be with us for a long time and we all need to adapt. We need to live differently. And we need to minimize exposure for our health, for our families and for our communities.” The governor’s blueprint also includes an “emergency brake” — where the state can intervene more immediately for reasons such as a spike in hospitalizations. Californians can go to covid19. ca.gov to find out where counties fall and what activities are allowable in each county.

California Wildfires: Employee Pay, Smoke Protection As of August 19, more than 360 wildfires were simultaneously raging across California, destroying property and prompting evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents. On August 18, Newsom declared a statewide emergency due to the wildfires that have worsened due to both the current heat wave and continuous high winds. “We are deploying every resource available to keep communities safe as California battles fires across the state during these extreme conditions,” said Governor Gavin Newsom in a press release. In addition to the massive devastation wildfires cause, employers need to consider those employees who are impacted, as well as the threat of smoke exposure — especially for individuals working outdoors. Cities and counties not under immediate wildfire threat may still have to deal with wildfire smoke’s harmful effects. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) emergency regulation, which was extended through January 20, 2021, requires that certain employers take quick action when wildfires are burning, including monitoring the Air Quality Index (AQI) at their worksites for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and, depending on the reading, reducing employ-
ees’ exposure, or providing respirators, such as N95s, and requiring their use. Employers should continue to monitor AQI levels in their area closely as they are rising above Cal/OSHA’s threshold level (higher than 150) in multiple parts of the state. As employers are well aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a mass shortage of N95 respirators, and those available are prioritized for healthcare purposes. Cal/OSHA acknowledged the problem in a statement issued on August 20, 2020, in which Cal/OSHA said it’s “working diligently to identify viable available temporary alternatives that would provide workers with an acceptable alternative to a compliant respirator such as an N-95 mask.” In the meantime, employers must still act to protect outdoor workers in compliance with the wildfire smoke regulation, which may mean moving operations indoors or providing respirators, but, in the event those options are not available, employers may need to temporarily shut down operations. Employers also must be mindful of properly paying employees during emergencies. Exempt employees must be paid a full weekly salary for any week in which any work is performed, but no pay is owed if the business is closed for the entire week.
For nonexempt employees, special pay rules apply in emergency situations. You must pay nonexempt employees only for the hours they worked if your business closes for any of the following reasons: • Operations can neither start nor continue due to threats to you or property, or when recommended by civil authority; • Public utilities such as water, gas, electricity or sewer fail; or • Work is interrupted by an “act of God” or other causes outside of your control. If, however, you choose to close your business and it’s not for one of the above reasons, you may owe reporting time pay. This means you would owe a nonexempt employee who shows up for work as scheduled — and is either not put to work or is given less than half of their scheduled hours — pay for one-half of the scheduled shift, but no less than two hours and no more than four hours. Employers also may choose to provide some paid time off during emergencies, or to let employees use vacation or other personal time. If offering these options, remember to be consistent!

Remote Work: Workers’ Comp Liabilities CalChamber Executive Vice President and General Counsel Erika Frank and workers’ compensation expert Randy Pollak discuss current workers’ compensation trends, and talk about what workers’ compensation liabilities exist when employees work remotely.
Workers’ Compensation Claim Trends
Governor Gavin Newsom’s May 6 executive order that a COVID-19-related illness be presumed to have arisen in the workplace (if certain requirements are met) expired last month, and employers are currently in a “middle zone,” Pollak, managing partner at Pacific Compensation Insurance Company, tells Frank. At the moment, employers have not seen much litigation, but the story may still evolve with time, he says. While the executive order was active, employers did not see much litigation, as many of the workers’ compensation claims were relatively mild, with employees experiencing cold and flu-like symptoms, Pollak explains. More serious claims were accepted and therefore there was no need for litigation, he says.
Liabilities for Remote Work
With so many companies shifting employees to work remotely, could an employer be liable if a worker is injured at home, Frank asks? Yes, with some requirements, Pollak replies.
Although the pandemic has led to an increase in remote work, working remotely is not a new concept and there is good case law that has set parameters on employer liability, he says. An employer may be liable for injuries happening at home if the injury happened within the course of employment/rising out of the employment, and the employer implicitly or explicitly requires the employee to work from home, Pollak explains. Generally, the employee has to satisfy the requirement that the injury happened in the course of employment—a very easy standard, he says. This liability has existed for a long time, Pollak points out, but some employers who have only recently started employing remote workers may not be fully aware of it.
When a Worker Alleges Injury
If a worker reports to their employer that they have been injured, the employer should not delay and should provide the employee with a claim form, Pollak says. It does not matter if the employer thinks the injury is covered or not, if a worker alleges they have been injured, the employer is required to provide a claim form, he stresses. The same also is true for COVID-19-related claims. A claim form must be issued to the employee, even if the
employee has not yet procured a positive COVID-19 test, he explains. In some cases, employers must also report injuries to their insurance carriers, regardless of whether the employee fills out the claim form. Pollak suggests that employers consult with their carriers as to what exactly needs to be reported as there could be other issues at play. Pollak advises that employers visit the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) website for detailed information on how to protect employees. The website moves beyond masks and social distancing tips, and goes into different kinds of safety protocols. Employers, he says, should have a good faith mindset to protect their employees in this serious time, and should follow the law and correct procedure if someone is alleging a work injury. “Aside from just the good will and the good aspect of taking care of your employees, it is a liability protection because once you follow the correct procedures, and doing the claim form and reporting it, then you have secured your ability to assert any defenses and avoid any kind of presumptions or anything like that that can occur with some kind of defect in your handling of that,” Pollak explains.
Big Changes Coming Changes are coming to Christmas Tree Lane this year. Please watch for news in the Mountain Democrat, Facebook and all EDC Chamber communications. Covid-19 has challenged all of us and everything. We will soon provide you with detailed information, but for now, know that we have found a way to make Christmas Tree Lane happen in 2020 and beyond. I will share the biggest change with you. We will be changing the adoption process to a lottery for tree adoption. Applications will be open from Oct. 15 to Oct. 29 electronically and in hard copy. The lottery drawing will be held at the close of application. More details (all good) to follow soon. Laurel Brent-Bumb, A.C.E. Chief Executive Officer El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce

El Dorado County Election Administration Plan Days of Operation- El Dorado County will be reducing the number of days Vote Centers are open for in person voting from 11 days to 4 Days. All 13 vote centers will be open beginning Saturday October 31, 2020 through Election Day. Health and Safety- El Dorado County will be implementing specific measures during in person voting at vote centers designed to keep vote center workers and voters safe in accordance with State and County public health standards. Those measures include: • All vote center workers will be required to wear protective face coverings and voters will be strongly encouraged to wear them. Social • Distancing protocols will be implemented inside and outside vote centers. • Vote center workers will be socially distanced at all time and protective barriers will be in place between vote center workers and voters. • Voting stations will be spaced six feet apart. • A vote center worker will be dedicated to sanitizing frequently touched surfaces and equipment throughout the day. • Voters that cannot or will not wear protective face coverings will have a separate flow in the vote center keeping them distanced from voters that do wear them and have a curbside voting option. • Vote centers will be limited to only voters
that desire to vote in person or require language or disability assistance from vote center workers. Vote by Mail drop off will be outside the vote center. • Drive up/curbside voting will be available at all vote centers for voters with disabilities and those that do not wear protective face coverings. • Limit the number of voters allowed inside the vote center at a given time based on size of the center and ability to maintain social distance. • All vote centers will have the following personal protective items available to voters that need them: • Face Masks • Disposable Gloves • Hand Sanitizer • Face Shield
There are several alternatives for voters to mark and return their ballot safely. To minimize potential exposure to Covid-19 voters can mark the ballot they receive in the mail in the privacy of their own home any time before or on Election Day. When complete they can return their ballot in the postage-paid envelope provided with the ballot using any of the following methods that avoids contact with others. US Postal Service - Insert the marked ballot in the postage paid return envelope, SIGN the envelope and deposit it in any US Postal Service mailbox. The ballot will be delivered directly to the El Dorado County Elections Department. Drop Boxes - Insert the marked ballot in the return envelope, SIGN the envelope and deposit it in any of the 13 ballot drop boxes located throughout the county. Six of those boxes have permanent drive up access and all envelopes deposited in drop boxes are retrieved by an El Dorado County Election Officials regularly. Vote Center Drop Off - Insert the marked ballot in the return envelope, SIGN the envelope and deposit it in the receptacle for vote by mail ballots outside each vote center. A list of Vote Center locations and hours is included as Appendix A. For the November 2020 Presidential General Election, El Dorado County will make the Remote Access Vote by Mail (RAVBM) system available to any voter upon request.
How voters can ensure they vote and return their ballot safely
El Dorado County Elections supports our voter’s choice on how they would like to vote. Since the implementation of the Voters Choice Act for the March 2020 Presidential Primary, all registered voters receive a ballot in the mail. For the November Presidential General Election, the mailed ballots will enter the mail stream on October 5, 2020 and should arrive in home mailboxes by October 12.

New DIR COVID-19 Guidance Issued
Waivers of Liability Frank points out that in some places, people are being asked to to sign COVID-19 liability waivers. She asks Saad: can employers require that workers sign a waiver of liability in the event they contract COVID19 in the workplace or to cover other labor violations, such as missing meal and rest periods? “…the short answer is ‘no,’” Saad says. Employees have certain basic rights, she says, and in California workers are entitled to workers’ compensation for injuries or illnesses contracted during employment and to a safe and healthy workplace. Importantly, these rights cannot be waived. If an employer does make employees sign such a waiver, the waiver would be invalid, Saad emphasizes.
Returning to the Workplace Some of the COVID-19 questions CalChamber HR experts are asked most frequently pertain to bringing remote workers back to the workplace, Frank says. Roberts explains that employers can generally bring back remote workers as long as the employer is complying with state and local health and safety protocols. Still, Roberts points out, employers should consider the health and safety implications of bringing back their workforce. “If we’re bringing too many people back, can we really maintain the social distancing, can we really
Face Coverings Roberts explains that the new DIR guidance addresses questions surrounding face coverings, and specifies that employers must provide face coverings to workers at no cost, even if workers wear those masks outside of work hours. A specific type of face covering is not prescribed— all that is required is that any face covering covers the mouth and nose effectively, Roberts says.

keep everything clean?” he asks. Employees who are living with someone who is at risk for COVID-19 complications may be particularly worried about returning to the workplace since some public health orders advise that people who are in an at-risk category shelter in place. Roberts recommends that employers be willing to be flexible with these employees and come up with solutions that work for both the employer and employee, such as agreeing to a flexible work schedule.
the DIR guidance states that if medical checks are done at the worksite before or at the beginning of a shift, employees must be compensated for that time as it constitutes “hours worked,” Saad explains. “The idea being that obviously this is done at the request and therefore under the control of the employer, so that is going to fall under the ‘hours worked’ category that does require compensation,” Saad says. If during a medical check an employee is found to have symptoms of COVID-19 and is sent home having worked less than half of their regularly scheduled shift, the employee must be paid for half of their scheduled day’s work, at no less than two hours and no more than four hours at their regular rate of pay, Saad tells Frank.
CalChamber Executive Vice President and General Counsel Erika Frank was joined by employment law experts Bianca Saad and Matthew Roberts to discuss the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) guidance, “Safe Reopening FAQs for Workers and Employers,” which addresses a number of workplace-related issues as employers and employees continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic. The “Safe Reopening FAQs for Workers and Employers” guidance provides great information and addresses many of the questions that employers have been asking on the CalChamber Labor Law Helpline, Frank says. Agency guidance is continually updated as the circumstances around the COVID-19 crisis change, so employers should check the agency’s website for updates. Information presented is accurate as of August 21, 2020.

Blackouts reveal our power shortage
T
he prolonged heat wave of 100-degreeplus temperatures that gripped California strained the state’s electric power grid to the breaking point, resulting in rolling blackouts for the first time in nearly two decades. Dan Walters California’s Independent System Operator, which manages the distribution of power for the state’s investor-owned utilities, imposed temporary outages as demands from air conditioning systems in millions of heat-stressed homes approached supply capacity. The blackouts clearly tell us that California has a power supply problem. It’s unacceptable that a state with a world-class economy grounded in cuttingedge technology has the unreliable electrical service of a third world country. Moreover, if we lack sufficient generating capacity now, the gap between supply and demand will grow even wider as our population continues to grow and if, as we are constantly told, the climate becomes ever warmer. Our power supply problem stems largely California has from political policies a shortage of aimed at phasing out electrical energy hydrocarbon energy, such as natural gasthat’s resulting in powered generators, blackouts during a shutting down nuclear severe heat wave. plants and relying more on “renewables” such Warnings about as solar panels and the shortage were windmills. ignored. By decree, the latter are supplying everincreasing amounts of power, but they are much less reliable than traditional generation. Therefore, when demand climbs to near-record levels ISO must turn to natural gas-fired plants to make up the difference, particularly if it cannot acquire more juice from out-of-state generators. ISO data reveal that when demand peaks, natural gas plants are supplying half or more of California’s power, but even so there are not enough electrons because we have discouraged construction of more gas-fired generators. “The situation is one that could have been avoided,” Steve Berberich, ISO’s top executive, recently told the agency’s board during a review of blackouts, adding that the supply situation “is broken and needs to be fixed.”

Letters to the Editor What a vote for Trump means EDITOR: ome thoughts before the election of the president of the United States: If your burning passion is to prevent any woman in the United States from access to a legal, safe abortion, then Trump is your man. If your idea of a good Christian is a liar, a cheat, a racist, a bully and a braggart, then Trump is your man. If your idea of a leader of our nation is a man who is ignorant of history, denies science, has a limited vocabulary, has no respect for the Constitution of the United States, denies climate change, has chosen greed over protecting our wildlife, greed over clean air and clean water, has used his charity for his personal needs, has demeaned his office by engaging in unnecessary, inappropriate and juvenile social media exchanges, has surrounded himself with liars, crooks and bigots, who lies as easily as he breathes and who lacks reason, dignity and compassion because his ego leaves no room for them, then Trump is your man.

S
California surprise EDITOR:
W
ith all the focus on the election and the mindless violence in cities like Chicago, New York, Seattle, Portland and on and on it’s easy not to notice things that are sneaking up on you. In 2013 Kamala Harris pushed for and got a law requiring micro-stamping on all semi-automatic handguns sold in California. No manufacturers micro-stamp. People didn’t notice that much because there were many older models of semiautos that were already on California’s so-called safety roster. Now that the left is supporting riots and violence many are seeing the need for a means of self-defense. What is sneaking up on California residents is the fact that all of those existing guns on the roster will go off roster on Jan. 1, 2021. That means if you want anything other than a revolver that Wyatt Earp would recognize you will have to find someone who has one and is willing to sell it to you. Dangerous times ahead. It was reported in Sacramento news that shooting there are up 50%. Criminals are being turned loose by the bushel. Riots are being promoted by the
left that give a pass to any participants and won’t prosecute them. Police departments are having their budgets cut. There was a time when you didn’t expect such left-wing lunacy to gain any traction, but that time is past. In their brave new world you are on your own. GEORGE ALGER Placerville
Spin a yarn EDITOR: n the Friday, Aug. 7, Mountain Democrat John Garon again displayed his penchant for spinning fanciful yarns. It seems that Garon is happy to pick and choose his words, leaving out any other germane facts. This time it’s the Confederacy, racism and Gen. Braxton Bragg under attack. According to Garon, Gen. Bragg was the twin brother of Attila the Hun. While it may be true that Bragg was a strong-willed military officer and perhaps controversial at times, there’s much more about Gen. Bragg one should know. Gen. Bragg received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy when he was 16 years old and graduated fifth in his class in 1837. Bragg served in the Second Seminole War and commanded Fort Marion in Florida. Bragg won promotions for bravery during the Mexico War, where the timely arrival of his artillery at the Battle of Buena Vista helped the Americans repel the numerically superior Mexican force. Bragg resigned from the Army in 1856 when he and his wife purchased a sugar farm in Louisiana, not a cotton plantation as Garon suggests. Gen. Braxton Bragg was opposed to secession but nonetheless organized Louisiana troops during the secession crisis and seized the federal arsenal at Baton Rouge on Jan. 11, 1861. Bragg was appointed major general commanding the Louisiana forces before joining the Confederate army. Gen. Bragg went on from there to command forces in Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee. Under Bragg the army scored partial victories — at places like Perryville, Stones River and Chickamauga — but he never delivered a finishing blow in any of his battles. The U.S. government confiscated Bragg’s prewar home during the Civil War, forcing him and his wife to relocate to Alabama after his parole in 1865. Bragg died in Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 27, 1876.

women” who politicians in both parties have ignored for decades. The United States hands out 1 million green cards a year. On top of that, every year we admit about 750,000 guest workers who we are told are necessary to do jobs Americans won’t. But that isn’t true. These guest workers displace Americans and drive down wages for all workers in those occupations. In 2019, 188,000 foreign workers came to the United States on H-1B visas — and mostly took entrylevel tech jobs. That same year 98,000 came on H-2B visas to take construction, landscaping and other manual-labor jobs. An unlimited number can come on H-2A farmworker visas. And almost 150,000 found employment through the OPT program, which lets foreigners who graduate from U.S. colleges stay and work for up to three years, despite there being no law on the books allowing this. The influx of foreign labor depresses Americans’ wages, according to more than a dozen studies reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine. And lessadvantaged Americans, particularly minorities, suffer the biggest losses in earnings — since they compete most directly with foreigners. Even prior to the pandemic, minority communities struggled with higher rates of unemployment. Last year the black jobless rate was twice as high as the white unemployment rate in 14 states, according to the Economic Policy Institute. This chronic joblessness causes poverty, which in turn affects everything from social mobility to the quality of public schools. President Trump stood up for Black and Hispanic Americans by suspending guest-worker visas. At a time of record unemployment, there’s simply no reason to import guest workers for jobs that Americans are able and willing to do. Tom Broadwater is president of Americans4Work, a nonpartisan nonprofit that advocates on behalf of American minority, veteran, youth, and disabled workers.

Berberich said the ISO has repeatedly warned the California Utilities Commission that an additional 4,700 megawatts of supply is needed but only a portion was authorized on a delayed basis, leaving a gap that couldn’t be closed when the heatwave hit. In theory, massive battery banks could be constructed to store solar and wind power when it’s plentiful and supplant hydrocarbon generation altogether, but so far that’s just a theory. Three years ago, ISO published a scenario that envisioned a massive shift from hydrocarbons to renewable electricity in homes, commercial businesses and in transportation by 2030, all but eliminating hydrocarbon energy. Other than laws requiring utilities to increase their use of solar, wind and other renewable sources, however, little of the ISO’s vision, which mirrors other official projections, has become reality. The COVID-19 pandemic and the severe economic recession it spawned will probably retard the conversion to an all-electric society even more. For the foreseeable future, therefore, we will

need the natural gas generators that environmental activists love to hate, along with the equally vital infrastructure of gas wells and pipelines that they also want to cancel. In fact we need even more of them as demands increase. Minutes after Berberich’s report, Gov. Gavin Newsom took to social media to say that the blackouts are “sobering to the reality” that “more insurance” in power supply is needed and pledged to provide it. However, he must also answer why the Public Utilities Commission, composed of governor’s appointees, has failed to heed ISO’s warnings about inadequate supply. Newsom is fond of the word “foundational” to describe things that must be done. There’s nothing more foundational than having the lights shine when you flick the switch or air conditioning to function when the mercury soars.

Continued from A3 Money raised during last week’s fundraiser will go toward unexpected expenses related to the trails and path with the rest going to the playground. The total expected cost of the playground is $200,000 to $300,000. Harper said Vickie Sanders, who is the parks manager for El Dorado County, will be applying for state and federal grants to pay for the project. CEDAPP has other fundraisers planned to support the playground including a rummage sale with music and food Sept. 12 at 6290 Pony Express Trail. People who would like to make a contribution can do so through PayPal, Fundly.com (Public Playground for Pollock Pines) or send a check directly to CEDAPP at P.O. Box 424, Pollock Pines, CA 95726.

to raise money for improvements to Forebay Community Park, a 13.5-acre park overlooking Forebay Reservoir. Currently it has a baseball field, a professional horseshoe pit and a community building. But CEDAPP members think a portion of the park should be devoted to a playground so children of all ages and abilities have a place to play with the theme of the park harkening back to the historical roots of the area. Harper said the first phase of the project will be a volunteer effort by three local companies — The Sandman, Barr Excavating and A-Team Tree Service. They will do a complete fire fuels reduction where the playground is planned. They will also help form two mountain bike trails and a walking path. That work won’t start until later this year, once fire season is over.

attempt to silence the speeches and chants of BLM demonstrators. Larry Robinson, who watched the demonstration seated on his motorcycle nearby, said his family has lived in Placerville since 1861 and his grandfather, Fred Turnboo, helped build the courthouse demonstrators stood in front of Friday. “Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man and leader. I support peoples’ right to protest,” said Robinson. “What I am here for is to make sure these businesses and buildings are not damaged, especially with the tough times people have gone through because of the pandemic. I also don’t want to see peaceful citizens get harmed and I think that is why a vast majority of people are here tonight.” Others took a stronger stance against demonstrators. “These people are terrorists. Look at them and how they are dressed. We want them gone and to never come back here. This is our town and we want it kept the way it has been. The term ‘Hangtown’ and the noose depictions are part of the history here that people have grown up with,” said one counter-protester who asked his name not be revealed. Placerville police officers and El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies were for the most part able to keep the two demonstrations on opposite sides of Main Street. One young counterprotester crossed the street, resulting in a short scuffle that was subdued by law enforcement. A truck also stopped in front of BLM demonstrators, blocking a traffic lane, and a confrontation occurred to the side of the courthouse but all incidents were quickly mediated to by police.

take down racial slurs from a nearby bridge?” The demonstration Friday, also calling for Placerville to “lose the noose” and the Gold Rush moniker “Hangtown,” follows a series of Black Lives Matter protests in downtown Placerville — spurred by the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minn., allegedly at the hands of law enforcement officers. Protesters said they also wanted to bring attention to the Aug. 23 shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was allegedly shot seven times in the back by police officer Rusten Sheskey when he and other officers attempted to arrest Blake. “The shooting of Jacob Blake really hit home for me because I grew up in Kenosha,” said demonstrator and Cameron Park resident Kasey, who did not want to give her full name. “I have been protesting in Sacramento but I have seen a lot of racist comments around here and online lately so I felt compelled to demonstrate here tonight. “Most people who say ‘all lives matter’ are missing the point. Of course all lives matter; it goes without saying. This is about a particular segment of our society that has clearly been discriminated against that this movement is attempting to bring attention to. It’s not saying other lives don’t matter or diminishing others’ lives.” A group of approximately 40 counterprotesters also congregated along Main Street, opposite the courthouse and in opposition of Friday’s demonstration. Vehicles and motorcycles drove by, some slowly, some stopping, honking horns and revving engines — apparently in an

Cameron Park Rotarian Laurie Edwards gives a child “two magic drops” during Rotary’s effort to immunize children 5 and under against the polio virus. She said, “It touches your heart knowing you may have prevented a child from getting polio.”
Cameron Park Rotarian discovers the
magic of two drops Jana Rossi Staff writer
S
ince retiring in 2010 after 23 years as an El Dorado County probation officer, Cameron Park Rotarian Laurie Edwards has gone on to pursue other hobbies — photography taking center stage. She currently divides her time between working as a freelance photographer for several publications, including the Mountain Democrat, and volunteering for Sierra Access Television. In January Edwards participated in National Immunization Day, taking a 12-day trip to India organized by the Rotary Club of Cameron Park — an event she said has been on her bucket list since 1994 when she was a member of the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills. Traveling with 48 other Rotarians from around the globe, nicknamed “The Polio Warriors,” she described her experience in India as “incredibly beautiful, often disturbing and wonderfully eye-opening.” Her photographs are featured in a 14-minute documentary “Two Magic Drops,” a collaboration that came about through a chance encounter at breakfast on her first morning in India. Seated at her table was 23-year-old Cal Poly student Soren Dickens. Soren and his brother Eriksen own a production company in San Luis Obispo. After chatting about their common interests in photography, they decided to team up and document their trip in an effort to get the word out regarding Rotary’s 30-plus-year effort spent in the eradication of polio — Edwards would take still photos, while the brothers would use Edwards’ camcorder to capture videos, which were later edited by the Dickens brothers at their production company. The first few days in India, the Rotarians

Edwards is a member of the Rotary Club of Cameron Park. spent sightseeing “The Golden Triangle,” Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, getting to know the country and the culture. The foot/ knee/limb factory in Jaipur was one stop that stood out to Edwards. The factory produces more than 35,000 limbs per year and are made out of PVC piping; the cost to make one is just $60 a limb. What amazed Edwards, she shared, was how quickly a prosthetic could be made. “A patient could be measured for a prosthesis in the morning and then walk out in the late afternoon with a custom-built limb.” Edwards said touring India makes people appreciate what they have at home. After a few days of sightseeing, it was time for the “warriors” to begin their mission,
but not before Edwards persistent attempt to snap a few photos of the Dalai Lama put her face to face with him instead. “There was such kindness in his eyes and his hands were incredibly soft.” Edwards and her fellow group members were assigned to the Mewat Village, a population of 2,470 with 21% of those under the age of 6. Their literacy rate is 72% and dried cow patties are their primary source of income. In this particular village, children must be vaccinated against polio seven times prior to their fifth birthday in order for the vaccine to take effect due to their n

Proceeds from Snowline Hospice thrift stores play a large role in the organization’s ability to provide all services free of charge to everyone, regardless of financial status or whether they have health insurance. The stores are run by volunteers like Corrine Gilmore, who began volunteering at the Cameron Park shop in 1998. She worked in the back hanging merchandise and then moved out front to the floor. Today Gilmore helps to bring the Snowline Hospice thrift store much-needed funds from the sale of aprons she has been sewing for more than 14 years. She recalled the day

Never having sewn before, Gilmore went home, gave it a try and sewed her first apron. To this day, she still works off the same original pattern she learned from and is now known to her church friends as the “Apron Lady.”
Gilmore has sewn more than 5,500 aprons and at 89 years old she said she has no plans on slowing down. “It never gets old. It gets my creative juices flowing,” Gilmore said. She did reduce her daily quota of five aprons a day to one, but that could be in part due to the fact that she is a newlywed, having just recently

local fundraising golf tournament is not teeing off in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Marshall Foundation for Community Health has made the difficult decision to cancel its largest annual fundraising event — the 37th annual Bob West Drive for Marshall golf tournament. It will be replaced with the first-ever Golden “TEE” Ticket fundraising event Friday, Sept. 11 at noon and will be presented live on the Marshall Foundation Facebook page. Originally held the third Friday of June, the popular golf tournament, hosted at Cold Springs Golf and Country Club, was postponed until September amid the health crisis until organizers made the difficult choice to cancel in late July. “As a health organization we felt it was important to take the lead amid the current health crisis and cancel this year’s golf tournament,” Jamie Johnson, Marshall Foundation for Community Health executive director said. The Marshall Foundation, instead, has found another way to honor West while still raising important funds that jointly benefit the foundation and Marshall Medical Center. In lieu of the annual tournament, the health foundation’s first virtual
Golden “TEE” Ticket fundraising event will have prize packages valued at a minimum of $1,000 each. Tickets for the drawing cost $100 (limited to 300 entries.) Prize packages include a Traeger Grill (purchased by the Marshall Foundation), a Mystery Ice Chest with prizes inside (chest donated by Placerville Hardware) and a Flowers for a Year prize (donated from Placerville Flowers on Main with chocolates from Annabelle’s Chocolate.) Major sponsors of the annual golf tournament have stayed on board despite the cancelation for this year’s adapted Golden “TEE” Ticket fundraising event including the Winn Foundation, Union Bank and Carter Kelly Inc. “Golf tournament or not we support Marshall Medical Center because the bottom line is they provide a vital service to the community,” Jim Carter said. Since 1974, Marshall Foundation for Community Health has supported Marshall Medical Center and community health programs serving the population of El Dorado County’s Western Slope. Tickets for the Golden “TEE” Ticket fundraising event can be purchased securely at marshallfound.org/bobwest-drive-for-marshall or by calling the Marshall Foundation at (530) 642-9984.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever judgment you are having about another person, chances are you have the same one for yourself, though more acutely so. It’s a good reason to find something to like about each person you meet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll bring something special to the task just by intending to give it your all. You don’t have to go out of your way to be original -- just do what comes naturally. Originality is your birthright. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). We experience millions upon millions of words, many of which, however right for the moment they may be, are soon forgotten. To be memorable, do more than talk. Paint pictures. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Put your mind to it, and there’s nothing you can’t turn around. A relationship that used to be on shaky ground now has a chance to become steady -- if that’s what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to have it all together to help another person; you only have to be one step ahead. You’ll give whatever resources you have and bring good fortune upon yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no way to separate “best” from “worst” as they are just different ways of seeing the same aspect of a thing. So, delve into whatever is bothering you deeper. Find, acknowledge and leverage the advantage. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Distraction is a very effective
way to avoid pain, though the avoidance of pain usually resolves nothing. Follow breadcrumbs left by your latest distraction to some truly worthy self-knowledge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are actions you can very easily choose or not choose. Then there are compulsions, which you feel powerless to control if you are even aware of them. You’ll have luck taking those on today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Feelings don’t need to have some profound meaning to have value. The face value of a feeling is simply that it is feedback data. Feelings reflect your current position and point to possible next moves. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe there are things that you would have understood if you had devoted more time to them, but your impatience has also led to many sound, fast and timely decisions. Accept all. Move on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If everyone says it’s wonderful, it might be. Or, it might be dangerous, as things that take away critical thinking and the impulse for individual thought usually are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The more you learn, the surer you are about what you’re learning. It’s a sign -not that you’re right but that you have possibly become biased and will learn most from people who disagree with you.
arden fresh tomatoes and peppers demand to be made into salsa. Many of us are tempted to preserve our favorite salsa recipe. We need to think again. Salsa is one of the most dangerous products for home preservers to can. Always use a tested recipe from a safe source such as the National Center For Home Food Preservation nchfp.uga.edu/. Contrary to popular belief, tomatoes are a borderline high acid food. Only high acid foods can be safely canned using a boiling water or steam method. Peppers and onions, ingredients in tomato-based salsas, are low acid foods. Low acid foods must be pressure canned. Once these low acid ingredients are added to tomatoes it may raise the pH to an unsafe level for boiling water or steam canning. Therefore, all tested salsa recipes are acidified with vinegar or commercial lemon/lime juice. There is only one way to make sure a salsa is acidified to a level that is safe for home canning and that is to test it. An interesting fact is that most judges who judge home preserved foods at fairs normally will not taste salsas for fear of getting botulism. There is no way for a judge to know if the recipe used is tested and from a safe source or someone’s family recipe. pH strips have a wide range of results and are not recommended to check a product’s acidity. These salsas may only be judged on their appearance. One of my favorite salsas to can at home is the one below. It is a big, bold, spicy salsa. For those who cannot take much heat, it is still good to have on hand. It is so flavorful that one or two tablespoons mixed into a favorite salsa will give it a smoky home-made taste. Give it a try. Roasted Tomato Chipotle Salsa Makes about 6 (16 ounces) pint jars Source: “Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving” 12 dried chipotle chili peppers, stemmed 12 dried cascabel chili peppers,
stemmed 2 pounds husked tomatillos 2 pounds Italian plum tomatoes 2 small onions 1 head garlic, broken into cloves 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup bottled lime juice 2 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt Toast chipotle and cascabel chilies in a large dry skillet, over medium heat, working in batches, about 30 seconds per side, until they release their aroma and are pliable. Transfer to a large glass or stainless steel bowl. When all chiles have been toasted, add 2 cups hot water. Weigh chilies down with a bowl or a weight to ensure they remain submerged and soak until softened for about 15 minutes. Working in batches, transfer chiles and soaking liquid to a blender or a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée until smooth. Set aside. Roast tomatillos, tomatoes, onions and garlic, under a broiler, in the meantime, turning to roast all sides, until tomatillos and tomatoes are blistered, blackened and softened and onions and garlic are blackened in spots about 15 minutes. Set onions and garlic aside until cool. Place tomatillos and tomatoes in paper bags. Secure openings and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel tomatoes, onions and garlic. Finely chop onion and garlic. Set aside. Puree roasted tomatillos and tomatoes and reserved puréed chilies until smooth in a blender or food processor. Set aside. Combine tomatillo purée, roasted onion and garlic, vinegar, lime juice, sugar and salt in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened for about 15 minutes. Ladle hot salsa into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and re-measure headspace. If needed, add more salsa to meet recommended headspace. Wipe rim. n

weakened digestive systems. By the end of Rotary’s 12-day trip, 174 million children were immunized with the help of 2 million volunteers from around the world who participated. Since Rotary’s involvement in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1979, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent, leaving just two countries still at risk — Afghanistan and Pakistan. More than 2.5 billion children have been immunized in 122 countries and more than $1.8 billion has been donated by Rotary for the eradication of the disease. The documentary “Two Magic Drops” was named for the amount of polio vaccine given to each child, 5 years and younger, and features footage taken during Edwards’ trip. The film was accepted into five international film festivals, recently taking first place at the Feel the Reel International Film Festival. See the film locally on Sierra Community Access Television (Channel 2) and the video will be available for $1.99 on Amazon. Proceeds from the purchase of the video will benefit Rotary’s polio eradication effort. Donations can be made by visiting endpolio.org/ donate.

Kiwanis Family House pantry drive supports hospital patients, families Dina Gentry Kiwanis Club of Placerville It was a beautiful Friday morning when Kiwanis Club of Placerville members hosted a drive-through pantry food drive to benefit the Kiwanis House in Sacramento. The drive took place in the El Dorado County Office of Education’s parking lot and both Kiwanis and EDCOE team members donated non-perishable food items including canned vegetables and fruit, noodles, pasta sauce, Cup O’ Noodle and more. The Kiwanis Family House provides temporary housing for families of seriously ill or injured patients being treated at the UC Davis Medical Center or Shriners Hospital in Sacramento. The Kiwanis Family House is a homeaway-from-home for families who must travel at least 35 miles from home to seek medical treatment. “Our Placerville Kiwanis Club raises funds throughout the year to support the Kiwanis Family House and also participates once or twice a year in doing cleanups at the house,� said Jerry Galloway, club president. In addition, Placerville Kiwanis partnered with the Placer Food Bank and collected canned and dried food items for the Kiwanis House Pantry. Food bank Executive Director David Martinez noted, “We appreciate partnering with Kiwanis Family House’s recent food pantry drive. We recognize the profound difference Kiwanis
