Fireman receives skin graft and flood of support Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer As the Caldor Fire reaches more than 210,000 acres and presents extreme and dangerous conditions for the nearly 4,000 firefighters engaged in the battle, the likelihood of injury is high. Thankfully, there Richard Gerety III have been relatively few reported injuries in the fight. Richard Gerety III of the West Stanislaus Fire Protection District is one of three front-line firefighters to be injured.

Crews corral Caldor n
Some evacuations lifted as flames push east
Lauren Keene Davis Enterprise Red-flag wind conditions continued to challenge firefighting crews battling the Caldor Fire Wednesday, though milder weather was expected to lend a hand in the days that followed. Nearly in its third week, the wildfire has burned 210,259 acres and is 25% contained, destroying roughly 800 structures and threatening nearly 32,000 more as it continues to march its way east in South Lake Tahoe. All told, the Caldor Fire stretches some 40 miles in length, scorching more than 18% of El Dorado County. As of 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, nearly 28% of the county’s residents had experienced evacuations. Embers started spot fires on the north side of U.S. Highway 50 overnight Wednesday, but crews jumped on those and continued to mop up and secure the edge,” officials said during the Thursday morning briefing. Cal Fire dedicated heavy resource commitment Wednesday down Highway 50 into Christmas Valley and South Lake Tahoe, where the blaze skirted across the north side of Christmas Valley and pushed toward the east side of Pioneer Trail. Fire officials said Wednesday night no structures have been lost in the Lake Tahoe Basin. “We’re keeping that fire to the east, trying

explosive and the spread is rapid,” he added. Elsewhere along the fire lines, firefighters boarded boats in order to protect cabins in the lower Echo Lake area, and focused on renewed fire activity on the blaze’s north side, moving west toward Wright’s Lake. Heavy air tankers doused the flames n

Loellen (Loie) Rocca Bonser, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and 60-year resident of Placerville, passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside Aug. 6. Loie was the youngest child of Bernard T. Rocca Sr. and Blanche C. Rocca and the wife of Dr. Quentin Bonser, M.D. After growing up within walking distance of University of California, Berkeley, she spent every summer of her adolescence at the Echo Lake Chalet, which was built by her brother and operated by her mother along with all the young women in the family (the “Boat Girls”) during the World War II years. She met her husband Quentin at Echo Lake. Loie was a 1944 graduate of UC Berkeley and the two were married in 1945. In 1961, the couple moved with their four young children to Placerville. Both were active in the local community. Known to generations of Girl Scouts by her camp name, Flash, Loie started first a Brownie Troop for her daughters and then a Girl Scout Day Camp that was originally held at Lion’s Park, then Charles Woods in Camino and later at Sly Park near Group Area 5. After running the camp for over 30 years and leading girls as they hiked, canoed, swam, camped, sang around campfires and shot archery, Sly Park renamed an area near Group Area 5 “Flash Mountain” in her honor. Loie also for many years served on the city of Placerville Parks and Recreation Committee, where she was instrumental in securing funding for and developing Gold Bug Park. Alongside her husband, she also supported the formation of the Mathewson Bonser Nursing Scholarship. It continues to grow and provide funds for local Marshall Hospital nurses to continue their education. Loie had a passion for daily dog walks, swimming, her community, travel and of course her family in whom she instilled her love of nature and the great outdoors. She is survived by her son Wayne Bonser (Marina); her daughter-in-law Cathy Bonser; her daughters Patty Sanford (Marty) and Carol Gunter (Ernie); her 11 grandchildren; and nine greatgrandchildren, her many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Dr. Quentin Bonser; son Gordon Bonser and granddaughter Heather Bonser Bishop. Donations can be made in her honor to the Mathewson Bonser Nursing Scholarship in care of Marshall Foundation for Community Health, the city of Placerville Gold Bug Park, or a dog rescue site of your choice.

The Labor Day weekend is here and many Californians are preparing to close out the summer with a road trip. In anticipation of the increased traffic that often accompanies a holiday weekend, the California Highway Patrol will implement a maximum enforcement period. The holiday enforcement effort begins tonight at 6:01 p.m. and continues through 11:59 p.m. Monday, Sept. 6. To help keep motorists safe officers will focus on removing impaired drivers from the road. Impairment can be caused by more than just alcohol — it also comes from cannabis, illicit drugs and prescription drugs, or a combination of any of these. Traffic safety efforts by the CHP during the 2020 Labor Day maximum enforcement period resulted in more than 900 arrests for driving under the influence. Sadly, 46 people died in crashes throughout California that weekend — many of whom were not wearing a seat belt. “Our officers are dedicated to making the roadways safe for all who use them,” said CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray. “Driving sober or designating a sober driver is the responsible choice to keep you, your passengers and other motorists safe.” All CHP officers and sergeants have received additional training on detecting impaired drivers. California also has the nation’s highest number of drug recognition experts — an officer specifically trained to identify drug impairment. During the upcoming holiday weekend drug recognition experts will be on duty throughout the state. Anyone aware a driver is impaired, is asked to keep a safe distance and call 911. Be prepared to provide the dispatcher with a complete description of the vehicle, license plate number, location and direction of travel. That telephone call may save someone’s life.
10:18 a.m. An injured hiker was rescued and brought to safety on Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe.

A snow gun blasts water on the California side of Heavenly Mountain Resort.
Tahoe ski resorts fire up the guns Miranda Jacobson Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Snowmaking machines have been fired up in attempts to save Lake Tahoe ski resorts from going up in flames. With the Caldor Fire bearing down on Heavenly and Kirkwood mountain resorts, Vail Resorts officials said they’ve turned on their snow guns to help firefighters in their attempts to stop the blaze that has grown to 210,259 and is 25% contained as of Thursday morning. The fire on Wednesday afternoon was approaching the Kirkwood community with spot fires reported there, but officials said at that time it was not yet in “Kirkwood proper.” Fan guns have been set up in the area to spread water on critical buildings and lifts. “During this time, while our property and structures are important, it’s the people who remain our top priority,” stated Vail Resort officials Wednesday. Other defenses being used currently
are snowmaking hydrants that are pressurized and ready, along with hoses that have been put out around the mountain for the firefighters to use. Facilities around the mountain, including the parking lots and lifts, have been made available for personnel. Team members have been evacuated from the facilities and have been provided with emergency support services. “Our hearts go out to those who have been affected and we stand now, as always, with the Tahoe community,” the statement reads. All work has been done in close communication with Cal Fire, the U.S. Forest Service fire team, local fire departments and other local organizations. Vail Resorts is following Sierra-atTahoe, which began planning to use snowmakers about a week ago, when management realized the fire could potentially make it up the canyon. “We had them in place ■

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Flume 30 rehab due Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent
Despite approving an $11 million construction project for Flume 30 on a 4-0 vote of the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors Aug. 23, the flume shut-down will last only about a month this season. Flume 30 is 325 feet long and abuts the Mill Creek-to-Bull Creek tunnel. While some EID flumes were damaged by the Caldor Fire last week EID officials say Flume 30, which is directly above the longclosed St. Pauli Inn, does not appear to be among the damaged. As part of the $8.7 construction bid by Syblon Reid, about $2 million will be devoted to bypassing “The Narrows,” a one-way choke point, improving a 3-mile Forest Service access road and also constructing a 2,200 foot-long access road to Flume 30. Next year Syblon Reid will deconstruct wooden Flume 30 and replace it with a concrete flume on top of a mechanically stabilized wall. Construction engineering and special inspection will be done by GHD Engineering at a cost of $687,450. GHD also has been awarded a contract for general construction inspection for $290,00. Environmental monitoring and contingency of over $1 million, plus capitalized labor of $375,000 brings
the total to $11.19 million. Funding is by the 2020 bond. The roadwork doesn’t require shutting down the canal. The main project is adding stairs to the penstock below the end of the old tramway. District personnel will fabricate the steel stairs and concrete footing. At a cost of $40,000. Helicopter service at a cost of $30,000 will be required to access this area and deliver the material and concrete. Capitalized labor is $150,000. Engineering and environmental services are $40,0o0. The total project is $260,000. Though this can be done without shutting down the canal, the brief outage will be used by hydro staff to reline Flume 13 and for engineers to inspect the tunnels, said Operations Manager Dan Corcoran. Engineer John Kessler is overseeing design and environmental assessment of fixing the penstock drainage and erosion control. A later phase will rehabilitate the old tramway alongside the penstock so it can be used for personnel and supplies. The penstock brings water at increasing pressure as it shrinks in diameter until it splits as it enters the powerhouse and exits through needle valves that rotate the Pelton water wheels that run the two generators, producing 21 megawatts of electricity.

Mandate the vaccine?
P
oliticians love force. The idea of leaving us alone to make our own decisions goes against their nature. To be sure, civilized society sometimes needs government force: police to punish killers, soldiers to protect us John Stossel from foreign invaders, environmental police to stop my smoke from flowing to your lungs ... But the political class always goes too far. Now some want medical police to force everyone to get vaccinated. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. “It has!” you say. “I have to get vaccinated to keep my job, for my kids to attend school, to go to the movies, a restaurant, etc.” That’s force, absolutely. But it’s not mandatory. There’s an out — we don’t have to work for the government, eat indoors or go to a movie theater. We can home-school our kids. We still have choice. So far, politicians haven’t sent police into homes to force everyone to get vaccinated. They did do that once. In Philadelphia 30 years ago, a measles outbreak sickened 1,400 people, mostly children, and killed nine. The outbreak spread because leaders of two fundamentalist churches told congregants to refuse the vaccine; God would do the healing. Philadelphia’s health department got a court order that compelled parents to allow their kids to be vaccinated. Remarkably, “They complied with the law,” said vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit in my new video. “They were law-abiding.” The Philadelphia parents didn’t fight the order. That ended the epidemic. But I doubt that vaccine-resistant Americans would be similarly compliant today. Now there’s an anti-vaccine movement. I’m surprised by the outpouring of hatred for Offit on my YouTube and Facebook channels that follows my video. Some of it is nonsense from ignorant anti-vaxxers. But I respect commenters expressing versions of the chant, “My body, my choice!” That slogan makes a good point. We are not really free if we don’t own our own bodies. (It’s another reason to oppose the Drug War.) Individuals should get to decide what’s put in our own bodies. But a deadly pandemic is a special case. COVID-19 continues to kill, partly because some people refuse the vaccine. “This virus has a great many friends,” complained Offit. “Science denialists, conspiracy theorists, political pundits — it’s hard to watch.” “People have reason to be suspicious!” I siad. “The government has experimented on people and lied to people.” (Officials once promised Black syphilis patients treatment but gave them empty pills. The CIA sneaked LSD into people’s drinks. More recently, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Americans don’t need to wear masks and then he said we should wear masks.) “I’m not saying that the government hasn’t done things that make one trust them less,” Offit responded. “Or that the CDC hasn’t made statements that were incorrect, (but) such is the nature of science. You do learn as you go.” What we have learned now is that the vaccine n

Hey, Joe EDITOR:
W
hat makes you think you can give away our children’s future? We, the people, are $28 trillion in debt. “Infrastructure”is just another slick code word (spelled B.S.). We don’t need anymore “anything” — roads, bridges, sidewalks, railings, stop signs,
blinking lights, etc. Is all that new “infrastructure” so absolutely necessary that we should enslave our children and grandchildren with trillions of dollars more in debt? Right now every adult’s and every child’s share of the U.S. national debt is $85,000. And you want $6 trillion more? Everything you give away must be paid for by the people. Just about every time you breathe into a microphone, you earn a couple more credits toward your “D.A.” degree. Please tell your fellow moron friends who are running our country to stop impoverishing the people. DOUG ROSCOE Shingle Springs
Natural immunity EDITOR: see that the portion of the county website dealing with the coronavirus states (as of Aug. 26) that 446 fully vaccinated people have contracted the coronavirus after they were vaccinated. It is clear that there is a substantial number of people not protected by the vaccine. The number of vaccinated people getting COVID is increasing rapidly. Just a week before the county website showed only 350 such people. I am greatly troubled by the majority of the medical establishment completely ignoring natural immunity — the ability of the body itself to prevent reinfection of a disease. Several studies have shown that natural immunity provides very robust protection against COVID19. One such study involved the more than 52,000 employees of the Cleveland Clinic Health System over a five-month period. At the beginning of the study 2,579 employees had contracted COVID-19. At the end of the five-month study not a single one of those persons had been re-infected with COVID-19. There were 2,154 employees who did not previously have COVID-19 who got the disease during the study period. I am unable to understand why most of the medical community is ignoring natural immunity. Could there be a political element involved? Perhaps a desire of politicians to hang onto dictator abilities they have acquired during the pandemic? If there is a reason for ignoring natural immunity, other than malpractice, perhaps someone in the medical community could explain what’s going on. PHIL BERRY Placerville

e had a conversation Monday evening between the Giants game and the 8 p.m. cable news programs. The top stories ranged from the acknowledged end of the U.S. war in Afghanistan to Hurricane Ida and, a Chris little later, COVID-19. Georgette wondered if the last couple of days might signify more than the end of a tragic last couple of decades and an enormous piece of our national, general malaise. Could it also signify the beginning of the end of the last couple of years — the COVID years? And how about significant forward movement against natural and man-made disasters — wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, melting arctic and Antarctic ice, Haiti, immigration, earthquakes and let’s throw in things like voting rights and homelessness while we’re solving a
few other Everest-size issues. Imagine a couple of years of no IEDs, no terrorist plots or hostage crises or mass shootings in schools or hotels or churches; no killer storms, devastating deluges or rampaging fires. It surely wouldn’t last forever but a decent Daley break in that action would be heartily appreciated. Imagine next school year when kids don’t have to wear masks or keep 6 feet away from their friends. How nice would that be? Folks could get back to meaningful work or into programs that could lead them toward what they’d consider meaningful work. People could travel to their heart’s content — to Disneyland, the Alamo, the Big Apple, Denver or St. Louis, not to mention Paris, France, London or the Gobi Desert. I wanted to go to the Gobi Desert back when

Imagine a couple of years of no IEDs, no terrorist plots or hostage crises or mass shootings … I thought being an archeologist or paleontologist would have been my dream come true. It would be heartening to open the paper or your online news site and not see which destinations are now closed again due to a CPVOD surge. It would really be refreshing not to have to keep cancelling travel plans because suddenly Rome and the Gobi Desert are now no-go zones. I don’t think I’ve been to a movie in two years or so. I heard our local Regal Cinemas went out of business early in the pandemic. Apparently it’s back in business now, but I haven’t seen any listing that appeals to me so far. Netflix has a few decent shows running. “The Chair” is pretty good. “The Kominsky Method” is/was really good as were the “Queen’s Gambit” and a pair of oldies, “Boston Legal” and “Community.” Take my
recommendations for what they are, purely my recommendations for a long COVID-19 evening. Just got into “Ted Lasso” and recently heard “Defeated” is worth a look. Check your provider, because some of these are not on Netflix. By the time you read this I will be back from San Francisco after two Giants games this week with my boys Aaron and Jamin. It’s been three years since I took Amtrak, went to a game and stayed in a hotel in the city ... and it was long overdue. I had to wear a mask much of the time, but that’s OK with me. Like a hundred other limits on different elements of our lives I’m used to it, but I’m looking forward to turning the corner on it and all the other stuff we’ve become used to. I hope this is the corner we’ve been waiting for. Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

does dramatically reduce hospitalization and death, and we’d all be better off if more people took it. Vaccine skeptics point to media reports of “breakthrough” cases, vaccinated people who get COVID-19 anyway. Offit’s reply? “I’m on CNN and MSNBC a lot ... I think they want to scare people.” They do. It raises ratings and it makes reporters feel important. But Offit pointed out that even after delta, “99.5% of people killed by this virus are unvaccinated! Ninety-seven percent of those hospitalized are unvaccinated! No vaccine works 100%.” Today’s COVID-19 vaccines have now been tested on millions of people. It’s clear that they are very safe and that they save lives.
Letters
It’s why Offit would mandate vaccinations. That’s where we disagree. I consider vaccine refusers foolish and selfish. I got vaccinated and I wish you would. But government should never force a treatment on people. That’s tyranny. That said, I shouldn’t say “never.” If you are proven a direct threat to others — if your behavior kills — then the safety police do have a right to step in to stop you from hurting others. Short of that, politicians should never force us to put anything into our own bodies.

with retardant in that area, from the wilderness boundary to the dozer line to the south, with the hope of curbing westward movement. “One of our big fears is there’s a potential for an easterly wind moving into this (area) later this weekend,” Monday said. “We do not want the fire’s spread to come back this way.” Better news came from the fire’s west side, where black lines have successfully contained the blaze and talk has turned to repopulating some evacuated communities once it’s safe to do so. “Please know we are monitoring that area” for spot fires and flareups in the coming days and weeks, Monday said, including a 1,000-acre unburned island near Pollock Pines that gave off a large column of smoke earlier this week. Nearby, fire crews also maintain a heavy presence along the Highway 50 corridor, tackling hot spots and securing cabins between the roadway and the American River. Hot-shot crews, multiple engines and helicopters also are vigorously working the Kirkwood area, hoping to cut off flames before they reach the community there, Monday said. Calmer winds are expected to benefit crews assigned to the Desolation Wilderness area, where they’ve been waiting for winds to die down before engaging newly lit spot fires, said Steven Volmer, fire behavior analyst for Cal Fire. In some instances, the winds have carried embers for nearly a mile, creating new fires outside established control lines. “The spot fires have been a problem

since the very first day of this incident and that’s what’s been causing this fire to grow exponentially,” Volmer said. Officials have said they expect to reach full containment of the blaze by Sept. 13, though whether they meet that goal remains unclear. The cause of the incident, which began Aug. 14 near the Grizzly Flat community, remains under investigation. Evacuation orders were downgraded to warnings Wednesday in the north Pollock Pines and Camino areas and Thursday morning in west Omo Ranch, Omo Ranch and Barney Ridge — outside of the fire line. Warnings were lifted south of Omo Ranch, Mt. Aukum and Mosquito. El Dorado Irrigation District officials request evacuated residents with water service provided by EID consider running internal taps for a couple minutes upon returning to ensure fresh water in their homes. Water that has remained in service lines during evacuation periods can result in customers detecting taste and odor issues that may be easily addressed by flushing the taps. EID’s water is safe to drink. The main distribution system piping was not affected by fire and the integrity of the overall system has not been affected, as confirmed by its water quality testing program.

Amended VHR ordinance moves forward Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — An amended vacation home rental ordinance for El Dorado County that has been five years in the works is one step closer to being implemented. The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the first reading that includes a clustering policy where VHRs are not allowed within 500 feet of each other, measured from property line to property line. Supervisors have been putting pieces together for the amended ordinance, including placing a cap of 900 in Nov. 2020 for the Tahoe basin, which is about 10% of the total homes in the area. At that time there were only 720 active VHRs in the Tahoe area. Less than a year later, 900 permits have been issued and there is a waiting list that includes approximately 85 property owners. Many of those on the waiting list are longtime VHR owners that felt they were caught off guard when the new policy started taking shape and the county changed the way they issued permits. In December 2020 the county changed to where it issued VHR permits before a VHR business license, which apparently led to some misunderstanding. Several VHR owners, including one who said he had rented a property in Tahoe since the mid-90s, asked the board to reconsider approving the ordinance and made pleas saying they were not aware of the procedure change and when they went to address it, there were no more available permits. Other public commenters felt the buffer is not a solution and a couple of others wanted the board to move forward with ordinance. An Airbnb official also commented and said the company is opposed to the ordinance and said some buffers have been taken to court in other areas. The board listened to the lengthy public comments, addressed a few questions and seemed to want to try and satisfy those approximately 50 VHR owners, but County Counsel David Livingston said that a hard cap of 900 was set and suggested the board not “legislate on the fly.” The board directed staff to come back with some possible options to try and solve the issue for those VHR owners. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel said if those longtime VHR owners paid their TOT and were making a genuine effort to get permits, that the county will try to figure out something to take care

of them. After the board discussion, Novasel made a motion that was quickly seconded and then the board voted 5-0 to advance the
ordinance. “I’m a strong supporter of making sure we have neighborhood compatibility,” Novasel said. “There needs to
be a balance. I want people to to feel part of a neighborhood.” The second reading took place at the board’s Tuesday, Aug. 31 meeting, which as
approved unanimously without discussion. “I believe we’ve had a lot of hearings about this and we did direct staff to work with those having waitlist issues
but other than that I’m comfortable (voting),” Novasel said. The proposed ordinance will go into effect 30 days following final passage.
Hibernation is finally over. It’s time to get out and recline in the name of recovery. Because vacationing here helps get our economy moving again. So, head to the beach or go city hopping. Dine out and shop local. Heck, try a weekend of wine tasting. You can sip and swirl in the name of civic pride.

Deadline close on community of interest redistricting input
comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
El Dorado County CAO As a result of earlier-thananticipated data provided to counties from the state to allow the redistricting mapping to occur, El Dorado County’s Redistricting Team has announced a Sept. 7 deadline for public input on the communities of interest component of the effort. That data that is needed from the U.S. Census Bureau and California Statewide Databases to allow the county GIS department to begin creating map alternatives was released Aug. 19, a full six weeks earlier than anticipated. As a result, county GIS is working to finalize the system that will allow map alternatives to be created, a public download application to allow the public to access the data to create their own maps, and a public comment

application that presents both publicand county-proposed alternatives. “The submissions and inquiries about the COI have been relatively flat, but we believe the public will become more engaged once map alternatives have been created and made available for comment and discussion,” said Board of Supervisors Chair John Hidahl. The public will be able to download data and the census files beginning Sept. 7 from the county’s redistricting web page. The public can use the downloads and census data with whatever tools they may have in their own environment. A review of map alternatives provided by GIS and the redistricting team as well as any submitted by the public will be provided at the next scheduled Redistricting public meeting, which is scheduled for Oct. 14.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll decide to go forward, thinking that even the worst-case scenario will be manageable to you. Once you’ve made your decision, start envisioning only the best outcomes you can dream. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People who can only see things one way, their own, should be easy to predict. If you think they will throw a wrench in the efforts, don’t waste time with them. Choose supportive company. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wondering why you’re not there yet? Maybe there is no “there,” only resolving “here” to the best of your ability. As you apply yourself to your present environment, you are the embodiment of a key unlocking your own fate. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re not finding the cool arrangement you want, it’s only because it’s up to you to make it happen. It is well within your ability to put this together, or, if necessary, invent it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The goal is the same, but your motivation has shifted, begging the question, “How badly do you really want it?” You can change the intensity of your appetite by focusing more or less on it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your sense of responsibility extends further than most. You don’t always feel like driving the bus, but you’ll do it in a heartbeat if the person behind the wheel doesn’t seem competent.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your worldview is unique and ever-changing. You’ll enjoy learning what others see, and this broadens your capacity and knowledge. Wisdom cannot be achieved alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The classic story structure has something to teach us all if we’re not careful: pride goeth before the fall. Don’t be afraid to pursue your ambition, but do it with humility. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s not a favorable time to open the arena to outsiders. You don’t need a hero to save the day, especially not one who isn’t as familiar with “the day” as you are. Let the day evolve with the original team. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you choose to fight, you also choose destruction. A decision to create or educate is a decision to build. What’s right for one time is wrong for another time. What will best serve the current situation? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If things are mostly agreeable, you are wise to go along. Nitpicking is for another day -- a day when you’re paid to deliver detail-oriented work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The stronger move is actually the softer move, too. It takes fortitude to forgive and security to be compassionate. The weak find it difficult to nurture others as you do now.
A Town and County Village is being proposed for an approximately 80-acre parcel east of Bass Lake Road at Country Club Drive and Highway 50, an area rich with nature and history. Representing the Mohanna family, Josh Pane presented an overview of the recently submitted preapplication for the resort village that would hold 503 townhomes, 134 creekside cottages, 245 senior housing units and 390 apartments in a mixed-used component. “Good planning principles of today is to have your dense housing and village center right next to your transportation hub and corridor so that’s what we’re proposing,” explained Pane. His enthusiasm for the recovery of an 1866 wagon trail, the former Lincoln Highway, seems to be central to the plans for the lore which the Mohannas hope to preserve. “The Lincoln Highway reminds me of the Silk Road back in Middle East where I come from,” said Moe Mohanna, a longtime resident. “We want to make this is a nice village.” “That history is what he fell in love with,” admitted Pane. “We want to preserve that whole Lincoln Highway.” Pane spoke of reigniting the old highway into a bike trail to link residential and commercial elements on the property while following the topography of the land. “We’re

hopeful that we can run some wagons on that trail at some point.” A pedestrian/equestrian bridge across Bass Lake Road is proposed and also mentioned was a memorial grove where people could dedicate a tree or a bench. The proposal outlines a resort hotel, conferencing and wedding center as the first development phase. The residential cottages along the creek side will be dedicated staff housing for resort workers. And Pane described the townhomes as a high quality but more affordable option for the area. “There’s a lack of this in El Dorado Hills,” he insisted. Pane points out that the area currently has an expanse of residential dwellings planned. “What was lacking in the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan was the idea of a village center,” he said, indicating uses for both Serrano and Cameron Park due to the location of the site. Shops underneath apartments could possibly house medical or chiropractic services, massage shops or restaurants. The resort will be styled after Yosemite’s Ahwahnee Hotel with stone, timber and some pouredin-place concrete. A porte cochère for cars and two restaurants will comprise the first floor. A reception facility is planned for the second floor and the top floor will house an open vaulted room that can hold up to 350-400 in a seated dinner style. Pane assures that the El Dorado Irrigation District has water to serve these properties and environmental analysis will be conducted.

show chimneys are all that remains of some homes while others are a pile of rubble. Photos of damaged homes can be viewed via the online damage map at tinyurl.com/4sn6u952. Phillips appears to be the next hardest hit after hundreds of homes were lost Aug. 16-17 in the Grizzly Flat area. The damage assessment map shows residences scattered across the Caldor burn area. On the Highway 50 corridor map shows a residence was destroyed in the Forni Creek
cabin tract and another east of Kyburz. East of Jenkinson Lake near Mormon Emigrant Trail, an area known as Bryants, three houses were razed, and another off Bonetti Road. In the Four Springs Trail area east of western stretches of Sly Park Road a house and a mobile home were lost. On the other side of Camp Creek three residences were destroyed near Butte Creek and Happy Valley Roads. Mountain Democrat staff contributed to this report.

Gerety had been fighting the blaze with a strike team with three other West Stanislaus firefighters for 10 days. “He loves going on strike teams,” said Jennifer Gerety, Richard’s wife of five years. “He’s already asked about next year. “I understand his desire to be out there, that he does it for the community,” she continued. “When he goes again, that’s a little scary.” Richard comes from a long line of firefighters; some uncles, cousins and his grandfather have all served their communities as firefighters. Richard suffered third degree burns on his hands and arms and second degree burns on his legs. He received skin grafts on his hands and arms Sept. 1 at UC Davis Medical Center, from where he is expected to be released within three weeks. Jennifer will be celebrating Richard’s birthday with him in the burn unit during his recovery.

Marshall Hospital taking COVID-19 precautions Marshall Medical Center News release El Dorado County is facing challenges coming from multiple directions. Not only has there been a spike in COVID-19 cases (El Dorado County’s positivity rate is over 12%), but the Caldor Fire has caused mass evacuations, causing congregate living situations where further infection can spread. As such, Marshall Medical Center has issued the following statements to help reduce the spread and maintain the health and safety of the community.
Hospital and clinic visitor regulations
Because of the steady rise of COVID-19 infections in the community, the California Department of Public Health issued an order requiring visitors for hospitalized patients to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test from the past 72 hours. At this time, only essential caregivers will be allowed to accompany patients in the outpatient clinics.
How and when to get a COVID test
Here are some guidelines about when to get a COVID test: If an individual has had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone with confirmed COVID-19. Fully vaccinated people should be tested 3-5 days following a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result. Unvaccinated people who have taken part in activities such as travel, attending large social or mass gatherings, or being in crowded or poorlyventilated indoor settings. Free COVID-19 tests will be available at the El Dorado County Library’s Placerville branch beginning Aug. 30, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are other private companies and pharmacies in the county offering COVID-19 tests. Visit edcgov.us/Government/hhsa/edccovid-19-get-atest for more information.
Breakthrough infections of the vaccinated
It’s true that fully vaccinated people are contracting
COVID-19, likely the Delta variant. If infected, vaccinated individuals are found to be highly protected against severe infection, hospitalization and death. Breakthrough cases are happening because: • No vaccine is 100% effective (the current vaccines range from 92-96% effective) • New COVID-19 variants are constantly appearing • We don’t yet know how long immunity lasts after vaccination • There will always be people who are susceptible to infection and illness. Visit myturn.ca.gov to schedule a vaccination.
Symptoms of the Delta variant for vaccinated individuals
In individuals who have been vaccinated but have been infected with the Delta variant, symptoms will likely be mild. It may feel like allergies or a cold and sense of taste and/or smell might be lost. If you think you may have or have been exposed to COVID-19, call Marshall’s advice line at (530) 626-2475. Many of these symptoms are similar to those of smoke exposure, so get a COVID-19 test to ensure you’re treating the correct condition.
How can I get a COVID booster shot?
At this time the FDA has approved booster shots for those with compromised immune systems only. This includes those who are on immunosuppressants, have had an organ or stem cell transplant or are undergoing cancer treatment. Local pharmacies, along with the local health department, are able to provide these shots. Visit edcgov.us/ Government/hhsa/edccovid-19-clinics for more information. Booster shots for the general population may begin after Sept. 20. Those who have received both shots of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine will be eligible for a third dose eight months after they completed the vaccine series.
Pfizer vaccine receives FDA approval
The FDA has granted full approval to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for use in people ages 16 and older and said it will now be marketed under the name Comirnaty.

preventatively and we had a snow-making system all charged up and ready to go,” said General Manager John Rice. “As the fire got to Camp Sacramento and started coming toward us, we turned them on.” Along with the snowmaking machines, sprinklers were placed on roofs and continuously ran for three days to prevent further damage from the fire. Rice reported that the upper maintenance shop was lost among other buildings. The building, which was made completely of cinder block, burned unexpectedly while other buildings were saved. Rice explained a crew came
out from AGI Insurance and helped others preparing the mountain for the fire. One key to protecting buildings was thermo-gel fire retardant the crew used on the outside walls of buildings. “That and the sprinklers are what saved our buildings,” said Rice. Rice said along with applying the gel, the AGI crew went out with weed whackers and chainsaws for nine days straight, and stayed to help protect major buildings when the fire came through. “They just showed up and said, ‘We’re here to help you,’” said Rice.

Diamond Peak Director of Mar-keting and Sales Paul Raymore said using snowmaking machines has been a fairly standard practice within Diamond Peak’s emergency plans, when the snowmakers are available. “They’ve always been a part of the wildfire emergency plan in the event it was needed to be deployed quickly,” he said. Although there is no immediate threat of the Caldor Fire reaching Diamond Peak at this point, Raymore said snowmakers owned by the mountain have already been moved out and are ready to be used if needed.

I hope my images draw you in emotionally and move you in some way.” Maloney’s career as a photographer has spanned several decades, from his days of film and darkrooms to the present use of digital cameras and photo processing. Landscape photography was his first passion. “I relied on intuition and sensitivity and staying in the moment — my eyes and heart wide open to all possibilities,”

old Country Artists Gallery, an award-winning gallery in Placerville, announces its newest artist — French beader and wire sculptor Sofya Kobayashi. Raised by an artist but trained as a mathematician and paleontologist, Kobayashi came from a family that “marched to the beat of their own drums.” She continued family tradition by creating her own path, blending her love of science, math, nature and art. Kobayashi explained the theme of her work as art from nature, drawing her inspiration from

PROSPECTING
‘MAKING IT!’ CHAMPION
Adam Kingman shares sustainable ways to create Tahoe Daily Tribune
S
OUTH LAKE TAHOE — Tahoe native and industrial designer Adam Kingman has been crowned as the Master Maker of NBC’s third season of the hit show “Making It!” His unique take on recycled materials and sustainability through creation earned him the crown and a $100,000 prize. The self described “Macgyver of crafts” said that winning was an incredible feeling. “I was so stoked,” said Kingman. “It was just very affirming … I usually don’t share my crafts. I don’t really showcase my makings. So it was just really nice to be cheered on.” In the finale, tasked with creating a personal happy place Shed Hack, Kingman was able to create his comfy and functional cabin in the woods, which was mostly created from items in the scrap pile used on the show. One commonality between all of Kingman’s work on the show was sustainability and his ability to bring new life into otherwise useless items. “Adam is the guy who cares so much

The four finalists, pictured above, each created unique Shed Hacks, but ultimately, Adam took home the title and prize.
Tahoe native Adam Kingman was crowned the Master Maker due to his incredibly creative use of sustainable materials and innovate ideas.
about function,” said co-host of the show Amy Poehler, “how something is going to be used.” In his favorite challenge, Kingman repurposed water skis into chairs and furniture. “We’ve all seen the snow ski chairs, but I had never seen a water ski chair. So it was fun to execute these summer variants,” said Kingman. Even on the challenges that Kingman didn’t feel he was in his element, he saw every opportunity
as one to learn. “You have a niche and your favorite ones fall within your niche,” said Kingman. “And then the ones that are a little more unexpected, or where you don’t quite have that ‘aha’ right away, you kind of just have to keep looking at it from a different perspective.” Now that Kingman has earned the crown and gotten the chance to show America his amazing upcycling skills, he’s ready to take his tips and tricks to the smaller screen — YouTube.
“Every craft is just as important as the outcome itself,” said Kingman. “I just really wanted to show how much you can create with very few items. Really whatever you have around the house, whatever you can find in the woods, whatever you have in the garage. You can make really remarkable and personal things with what you already have.” The season saw Kingman use a variety of climbing gear and other everyday household items that almost everyone may
have, including rope and knickknacks able to be transformed into stunning focal decoration pieces. His YouTube channel will be a place for viewers to continue to learn how to be functional and creative at the same time, even when it might not seem like the item can’t be used or the idea might be too big. “I think it’s just important that if you have an idea, it’s an opportunity,” said Kingman. “That’s an invitation for you to
act on it and see where it goes. And you never know where it’ll go until you take that first step of sketching it out and shedding some light on it.” While it may seem impossible to see the creations on the screen and try them out yourself, Kingman said that anything is possible once the idea has been made. “Trust your gut,” said Kingman. “Stick to your guns. Your first idea is often your best idea. Just let it out, let your ideas fly.”

Kobayashi
Continued from B1
Leadership Academy, where students learned by applying academic knowledge to the hip hop music industry. Over the duration of her teaching career, she was awarded 17 Distinguished Teaching awards and numerous degrees. The idea of preserving nature through unexpected art forms has particularly impressed Kobayashi. Her artwork reflects her passion for the centuries-old technique of French beading, utilizing glass beads and wire wrapping to create threedimensional sculptures modeled after vintage botanical prints and Victorian illustrations. Kobayashi explains that several centuries ago, when gowns were hand-made, that some of the beads used for embellishments were cast off if not up to quality. These were then collected to be wired, wrapped and manipulated to create beautiful floral arrangements. They were also used as funerary wreaths during seasons when flowers weren’t available and then passed down as family heirlooms. Kobayashi’s intricate bead and blossom creations follow this centuries-old tradition. She names each of her floral sculptures and displays it in a vintage vessel. For example, “Bette Davis” is a lovely spray of magnolia branches in a pale green planter. The piece seems delicate and fragile, but in actuality the blossoms hold a robust shape. In another work named “Lillian Gish,” Kobayashi’s pale peach-colored beads and opalescent beaded leaves look antique, bringing to mind the era of
Maloney
the silent movie star. Kobayashi became interested in ikebana, the Japanese art of “giving life to flowers,” and particularly in bonsai, which means “planted in a container.” She said she did not come from “green thumb” people, but she discovered a way to show the beauty of bonsai in an undying sculpture through the medium of wire sculpting, an ancient art form Kobayashi updates with her artistic vision and talent. She models the shape of each bonsai after real, living bonsai, utilizing exhibition grade copper core wire in her preferred natural hues and shades of brown. She begins with a bundle of wires and, starting at the bottom, forms a “skeleton,” twisting and knotting the wires as she builds onto it to achieve a gnarled texture. The completed bonsai is “rooted” in a traditional bonsai pot. Kobayashi’s beautiful “Copper Moyogi Bonsai,” is her interpretation of moyogi, or “informal upright style” of bonsai. A gracefully downward curving branch in Kobayashi’s “Tall Cascade Bonsai” is balanced by the height of the vessel. Kobayashi’s own unique style and signature work shows the eclectic movement of nature; with no two alike, each following the principles of bonsai aesthetics. Kobayashi invests hundreds of hours in the creation of her one-of-akind, everlasting floral arrangements and bonsai and each is a testament to the preservation of natural beauty.

Maloney explained Along the way, the images captured by this self-taught photographer continue to appeal to those who believe his exceptional skills with a camera elevate his images from “just pictures” to images that tell stories and evoke emotional responses. In the early 1970s Maloney took a job as a staff photographer with a small newspaper in the Bay Area. In the ‘80s his career as a photojournalist really took off when his photographic skill drew the attention of the San Francisco Chronicle, which subsequently hired him. The Chronicle sent him all over the world, capturing images to memorialize moments in history for the paper. Maloney shared that he especially enjoyed sports photography, including the World Series and the Olympics. Retiring from the fast-paced, “always-on-a-deadline” world of news and sports photography in 2009 provided Maloney with the opportunity to return to his beginnings, photographing landscapes and nature with locales ranging from Yosemite to his own backyard. The slower pace of living on 12 peaceful acres surrounded by nature in the Sierra foothills gives Maloney the time to focus on his passion, using his camera to capture the beauty he sees in nature. In Yosemite Maloney caught the eyes of a coyote looking straight at the camera. Its face seems to rise out of the darkness, gray fur wonderfully textured, while some unseen source of light creates a penumbra around the creature’s head to emphasize each individual tuft of fur. But it is the “Coyote Eye” that holds the viewer breathless, the amber gold of its piercing stare mesmerizing. Maloney’s images make it clear that he is not just a “point and shoot” photographer. There is one particular scene he always wanted to photograph at Caples Lake in the high Sierra. He describes a beautiful bonsai-like tree growing there and his desire to

He tried many times, but the angle of the rising moon he needed for the shot only occurred once a month. One evening all the elements came together for Maloney. He describes the icy conditions of the nearby lake and lying on the freezing ground to photograph the tree at eye level, as he wanted only a certain part of the rock to show. In spite of the uncomfortable conditions and with an incredible degree of patience and perseverance, he caught the stunning image of which he’d dreamed, the aptly named “Bonsai Moonrise.” “If Ghosts Could Talk” reveals an apparently abandoned miner’s cabin set amid a sea of grass with a starry cosmos sweeping overhead. Warm light radiates from inside the cabin, but we wonder, who or what could be living there? The grass surrounding the cabin is infused with color despite the dark hour and a glow of light beyond the distant horizon lends an ethereal quality to the image. In “Grace in Flight,” Maloney presents the viewer with an egret sailing peacefully over early morning water so still, the reflection of the down-swept wings appears almost translucent. Maloney honors the scene with his simple focus on form and a subtle sienna tint evokes a feeling of tranquility. “My ultimate goal,” Malone said, “is to encourage viewers of my photographic images to explore this world we live in with a spirit of curiosity, astonishment and hope.”

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) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 012366-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 012366-CA 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.
