City budget balanced despite virus Pat Lakey Staff writer As Placerville City Council member Patty Borelli gleefully told city Finance Director Dave Warren, “I told you so!” when a special budget meeting starring COVID-19 got underway Wednesday, Warren sounded happy to take the jab — and more than happy to report to the City Council sales taxes for the quarter that just ended were … up. You read that right — up, despite doom and gloom forecast by a consulting firm hired to guide the city through what were supposed to be troubled waters stirred to a froth by the coronavirus. With so many businesses shutting down since midMarch, and those that remained open keeping curtailed hours, it was thought n

OR coach out for season Thomas Frey Staff writer Oak Ridge High School cross country and track and field coach Bob Wright’s suspension was upheld Friday by the El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees Wright was suspended by the board June 29 after he didn’t fill out a use of facilities permit for a May 23 race organized by Jesuit High School distance runner Matt Strangio. Wright has coached at Oak Ridge since 1996. At the trustees’ Aug. 25 meeting supporters of Wright spoke for two hours in favor of lifting the suspension. Superintendent Ron Carruth at the time said the board — who voted 5-0 to suspend Wright — would consider everything said by Wright’s supporters. Three days later Wright said the board informed him they had decided to uphold the suspension which excludes him from coaching for the entire 2020-21 academic school year. In observance of the Labor Day holiday the Mountain Democrat will not publish Monday, Sept. 7.

Fine dining on the fairgrounds

Kevin Christensen Staff writer Chef John Sanders and the Old Town Grill team served up their first Fair Market dinner last Friday on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. Sanders has partnered with the El Dorado County Fair Association to use fairground facilities — a commercial kitchen and shaded picnic tables spread throughout the park-like setting — for outdoor dining in his ongoing, community-minded fundraising campaign. There’s also a new-this-summer farmers market that takes place Friday evenings on the fairgrounds — the Fair Market — where Sanders gathers locally grown produce from area farmers to use in his cuisine.

3 make Placerville’s pot shop roster, again Pat Lakey Staff writer Get out the score card if you are following the competition over who will open up Placerville’s first recreational marijuana store. Because after rounding first and second bases — then pausing as other teams called foul — the three pot store sites that had been named the winners back in January but were forced to await the “umpire’s” decision have now rounded third and are heading for home.

Given the “go sign” back in January — and confirmed during a special meeting that went extra innings in late August — are Sacred Roots, Chuck’s Wellness Center and Reserve House. Those three locations were named when the year began, but there was no way to predict the wild pitch that came in mid-March when COVID-19 took the field. The choices announced by Placerville’s city manager in January had been appealed, a process that under normal circumstances would have

run its course and game over. But after months of delay, four other applicants for a city permit to sell recreational marijuana finally had their day to tell their side to the ump — in this case, the Placerville City Council. Although it appeared in late July the council was poised to start the whole application process over — game called due to hazy scoring processes involved — instead the council decided they were right the first time: The recommendations made by City Manager Cleve Morris

“The council appears in agreement that three is the number that the community would support.” — John Driscoll, Placerville City Attorney were the best choice for the town after all. That included the fact that only three pot stores would be allowed within city limits at a time; talks had included the possibility of opening up the application to anyone and everyone who thought they could succeed in a commercial commerce brandnew to Placerville.

Art Cort

Oct. 1, 1926-Aug. 17, 2020

There is an unfinished puzzle on a card table in the living room at the “Cort House” in downtown Latrobe, Calif., because Art Cort had been working on it before he passed Aug. 17, 2020, at the age of 93. Most likely his wife of 73 years, Helen, and their five children and seven grandchildren will find other projects he was working on, since he remained actively involved all the days of his life. He actively participated in the upkeep of the house he built while his children were small, frequently cutting the grass on the vast acreage for wildfire preparedness with a riding lawnmower. He continued to volunteer, serving as a docent at the California State Railroad Museum from 1991 until it was temporarily closed this past spring due to COVID-19. He logged over 9,200 hours of service. Also, as a docent he would ride the California Zephyr from Sacramento to Reno and back giving the history of the various landmarks over the public address system as the train passed. He trained as a travel interpreter in 1999 and completed about 128 trips. He was active in local organizations as well, attending meetings for the Rotary Club of Cameron Park and Cosumnes Lodge #63 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Latrobe. A charter member of the Cameron Park Rotary, which was formed in 1969, he served as its first secretary and as president in 1971-72. His family hosted a Rotary exchange student from the Netherlands in the Rotary year of 1970-71. Brim Schuur-Tolhuisen remained part of the family, referring to Art and Helen as her California Dad and Mom. When Cameron Park Rotary built the Community Observatory and Sky Theater adjacent to the El Dorado Center of Folsom Lake College in Placerville, Art figured a design to do the project at a greatly reduced rate, organized work parties and made sure the work was done correctly. Also, he planned the weather and solar stations. In recognition of his efforts, the theater is named the G. Arthur Cort Sky Theater. He joined the Order of Odd Fellows in 1954 and served as secretary, vice grand and noble grand of Cosumnes Lodge and District Deputy Grand Master of District 12 (El Dorado County), Grand Instructor for the Grand Lodge of California in 1971-72 and 1973-74, and Trustee of the California Odd Fellows Home in Saratoga from 1975-92. Art was born in Hagginwood, Sacramento County, Oct. 1, 1926, to Kenneth and Gladys Cort, immigrants from England. When his father built a cabin at the 42 Mile Tract on Highway 50 near Strawberry around 1937, he spent summers in the mountains with his mother and three sisters. He graduated from Grant Union High School in Sacramento in June 1943 and enlisted in the Army Air Corps that December, serving as an Aviation Cadet. He was called into active duty in March 1945. He married Helen Lasswell on Jan. 14, 1947,

at age 21 and took his new bride to live in a log cabin in Fairbanks, Alaska, where he planned to attend the university. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering from the University of Alaska in 1953. Returning to California, Art supported his family working as an engineer for the State of California and several grading and paving contractors before he was hired as the El Dorado County Road Commissioner in 1962. He became Director of Public Works Nov. 2, 1967, when that department was formed, retiring in January 1987. Art found plenty of activities to keep him busy both pre and post retirement. In 1975 he learned to fly a plane and for a time owned a small aircraft, which he parked at Cameron Park Airport. He supported the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Air Squadron from June 1976 to December 1989. In August 1979 he planned his first canoe/kayak river trip in the Yukon Territory. That summer he paddled 460 miles of the Yukon River between Whitehorse and Dawson in Canada, a favorite trip. His last river paddle was in 2004, but while making the excursions with various friends and family members he paddled such rivers as the MacKenzie, Stikine, Liard, Peace, Slave, Noatak, Teslin and Koyukuk. He took his harmonica on these river trips to play songs at night by the campfire. A Christmas gift from daughter Jennifer in 1972, the musical instrument was frequently carried in his pocket, so many heard his tunes. According to Frank Rasmussen, a friend and fellow docent, he would entertain guests and staff while on shift at the Railroad Museum. In 2016 his granddaughter Shauna asked him to play “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” on his harmonica as she walked down the aisle at her wedding. Another passion was photography, which he studied while serving in the Army Air Corps when he was assigned to the Photo Lab Tech School at Lowry Field in Denver, Colo. Art leaves hundreds of photos documenting all the activities in which he participated as well as photos of his friends and family. He is survived by his wife Helen; children Cynthia Kingsland and her husband, Bruce; Susan Johnson and her husband, Terry; Jennifer Hinrichsen; Anita Gonzalez and her partner Rick Walsh; and David Cort and his wife Kim. Also grandchildren and great-grandchildren Anthony Kingsland and his wife Liz, and their children Everly and Keegan; Aaron Kingsland, his wife Katie and their children Wesley and Paige; Kristina Parker and husband Drew, and their children Leilani Ramos and Stella; Armando Gonzalez, his wife, Katie, and their children Antonio and Isabella; Shauna Cannatelli and her husband, Todd; Lauren Cort; and Eric Cort and his wife Isabel. Also, he is survived by two sisters Cath Dokken and Helen Leve. His sister Jean Leach preceded him in death. A celebration of life will be held as soon as it is safe to hold such gatherings under COVID-19 guidelines.

Jan. 27, 1931-Aug. 25, 2020

Jessie Elizabeth “Liz” Church passed away Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020, at her home in Rescue, Calif. After being diagnosed with extensive cancer, she chose the dignity and assistance of Snowline Hospice for her final days. Liz was born Feb. 4, 1934, in York, Maine, to Ralph and Mildred (MacKenzie) Garoutte. The family moved to Hawaii when Liz was 2 years old where Liz graduated from Hilo High School in 1953. The family then moved to San Francisco, Calif., where Liz worked as a file clerk for Standard Business (Blue Shield). Liz married Jerry Gilmore Sept. 12, 1953, and they had three sons before divorcing in 1967. Liz left work after her second son was born but returned to Blue Shield in 1964 where she worked a total of 28 years. In 1971 Liz married Dale L. Church. They made their home in Daly City, Calif., until retiring in 1989, moving to Rescue shortly after.

On Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020, John D. Lundquist, loving husband and father of four children, passed away peacefully at his home in Placerville at the age of 89. John was born on Jan. 27, 1931, in Pueblo, Colo., to Frank and Vivienne Lundquist and moved to Placerville to build his life and home in 1962. He was known for his quick wit, punny jokes, strong work ethic and Fourth of July parties. John was a friend for life and remained in regular contact with fellow alumni from Las Vegas High School class of 1949. A Jack of all trades he had a long career that included working for the Nevada Test Site, Aerojet and El Dorado County Department of Transportation. John is survived by his wife Billye of 69 years; four children,John, Tom, Kim and Leif; three grandchildren; Gabe, Hannah and Nash; and six great-grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. In lieu of services during the pandemic, the family asks that you raise a glass and share a happy moment with family and friends.

Park plans in the works countywide Dawn Hodson Staff writer An ambitious parks program was reviewed and approved at Tuesday’s meeting of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors. Vickie Sanders, parks manager for the county, outlined a long list of projects that will add to existing recreational and sports venues in the county. She also discussed the need for an updated Parks and Trails Master Plan and for more staff to ensure those plans are implemented. Included in the list of projects currently under way or being considered are: Old Depot Road bike park — Adjacent to a section of the El Dorado Trail near Missouri Flat Road on Old Depot Road, a bike park was previously authorized by the board and funded with Proposition 68 money. Construction of the park is slated to begin in the spring of 2021 and be completed December 2021. Park at Chili Bar — A park at Chili Bar has been proposed with a feasibility study of the project estimated to be complete by summer 2021. Funded with money from SMUD, the study will examine the existing infrastructure on the 16-acre site, make recommendations for its use and what it will cost to implement recommendations. No funding has been identified for constructing improvements.

A rendering depicts the layout of a sports complex considered for Diamond Springs.

Monroe Ridge Trail — A proposed Monroe Ridge Trail would be a 2.3mile unpaved trail from Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park to Henningsen Lotus Park in the Coloma-Lotus valley. The trail would be a link between HenningsenLotus Park and the Lotus-Coloma business district. The 2.3-mile portion would be completed by the state of California. The creek crossing is the only portion of the trail the county would be responsible for. A contract has been issued for the creek crossing with work beginning Aug. 17. Forebay Community Park — Needed improvements to the Forebay Community Park in Pollock Pines were also described. Presently the park features a little league ball field, batting cage, bleachers, scorers booth, snack shack, horseshoe pits and community building. ADA-related improvements have been made each year by the county but additional improvements the community would like to see include a playground, more trails and pathways, picnic shelters, pavilions, a disc golf course, dog parks and bike paths. The Community Economic Development Association of Pollock Pines is currently working to raise funds to put in a playground and bike trail there. The restroom at the park also needs to be replaced and built to meet ADA standards. El Dorado County Historical Railroad Park — Another project ■

County in line for more partial reopenings Dawn Hodson Staff writer A COVID-19 update from El Dorado County Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams to the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday included the prospect that in the next few weeks, more businesses will be allowed to open up, if only partially. As of Sept. 2, the county has seen 980 cases of COVID-19 since the first case was found March 20, including two deaths, and the number of cases reported each day appears to be declining. Williams encouraged people who have symptoms or who have been exposed to others who might have the disease to get tested. Williams said the state is renegotiating contracts for community testing sites, aiming to double the state’s testing capacity and reduce turnaround time for results to 24 to 48 hours. Other changes at the state level include moving to a tier framework to evaluate the level of disease transmission in a county. Measures used to evaluate counties include the number of hospitalizations and deaths, testing access and contact tracing. A county will fall into one of four tiers: minimal, moderate, substantial or widespread. Tiers determine the degree to which a county can open up again. El Dorado County is currently in the substantial tier. Williams said a county must remain within the parameters of a tier for a minimum of three weeks before moving into that tier. In El Dorado County clothing and shoe stores can now open at 50% capacity; concert venues must remain closed; convenience stores can open with certain modifications; gyms and fitness centers can open at 10% capacity; restaurants can offer indoor dining with capacity limited to 25% or 100 people, whichever is less; wineries can open outdoors only with modifications; and bars, breweries and distilleries are to remain closed. Williams said if the county continues to meet certain criteria it should be able to move to the moderate tier by the week of Sept. 21. For restaurants that would mean being able to offer indoor service at 50% capacity. Bars where no food is served would be allowed to open outdoors only.

would support,” Driscoll said. Following July’s meeting where it appeared the entire application process would begin again, due to what appellants had termed inequities in scoring the various sites and a process that relied too heavily on the decision of one person (the city manager), Driscoll said it was learned virtually none of the applicants wished to go up to bat again. “In interviewing them, almost all of them said, ‘Don’t start the process over again,’” said the city attorney, who was assisted in dealing with the issue by a contract attorney. “They said it would cost them way too much money.” So Driscoll and attorney Ashley Zambrano with Best, Best and Krieger of Southern California came up with a solution. At the end of a marathon meeting late last month, the council voted to reconsider its previous motion to start the application process over. With Councilwoman Kara Taylor absent due to the fact that she served on a committee to help determine how to regulate recreational marijuana sales within Placerville, the panel made findings regarding the various appeals and then made a final motion that put the whole matter back behind home plate. The council voted to uphold City Manager Morris’ recommendations made last January, which coincidentally coincided with the recommendations that came from

the committee on which Taylor served. The motion made mention of the caliber and knowledge of each member of that committee as being part of what led to the council’s decision. The three alternate sites, should any or all of the top three not come to fruition, are Cannatopia, Cannabis Nation and Three Habitat. Before making its most recent decision, the council considered a letter from four applicants who not only decried the $20,000 to $50,000 it was estimated to cost each business hopeful to start the process over, but suggested there should be an expanding of the number of permits issued. Then, let the market rule the game, they said. From the letter: “... a deadline of 12 months could be established to potentially winnow down the number of permits eventually issued. If more than three permits are issued, market forces and competition may result in one or more dispensaries shuttering after one to two years. If they do not, that would provide evidence that the Placerville region can reasonably support more than the three ...” The letter adds: “Finally, such a result would provide the city with yet more new and ongoing revenues to replenish depleted coffers.” City Attorney Driscoll said it is unknown whether any of the former, unsuccessful applicants intends to take the matter to court.

“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.

Message from EID

Delivering essential services for 95 years

s I write this column the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the lives of our families, our friends and the communities we live in. I want to express my deepest respect and thanks to the frontline, “essential” workers who JIM ABERCROMBIE keep important services available. I thank the nurses and medical personnel who care for us in our times of need, the teachers who work with our communities’ children, as well as law enforcement and firefighting personnel. There are many more who work every day to keep important services available. I want to also acknowledge the essential women and men at El Dorado Irrigation District. I am proud of the work our staff performs to ensure safe, reliable drinking water and wastewater treatment is available 24 hours a day, year-round for EID’s customers. As I look at the rest of 2020 and into 2021 and beyond, I am encouraged by where we are heading in addressing EID’s aging infrastructure. Earlier this year the EID Board of Directors made the tough but necessary decision to adopt a fiveyear rate schedule that includes moderate increases. The rate revenue will help pay for important projects that our customers depend on like the $42 million Folsom Lake intake project, which accounts for a third of EID’s entire water supply. Those modest rates will also help fund needed flume replacements in our high country Project 184 hydro system — a system that provides water from high elevations to our water treatment plants and is distributed to Pollock Pines, Placerville, Shingle Springs, Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills. Those rates will help us fund the recently approved construction of a 3-mile stretch of the Upper Main Ditch. This section of ditch, from Forebay reservoir to our Reservoir 1 water treatment plant in Pollock Pines, has been identified as a project that will benefit our entire service area. Not only does it increase water quality as it comes into the plant, it decreases costs of treatment and has the potential to save 1,800 acre-feet of water per year. This kind of savings goes a long way toward meeting state-imposed requirements for water conservation and water loss. Water that travels through this facility can serve communities all the way to El Dorado Hills. Reducing the levels of E. coli and the input of impurities in the raw water is good for everyone and is an industry best practice. Rates help pay for the bonds that financed our recently completed Forebay Dam modification. Regulators required a dam that meets modern safety standards and between 2017 and this year ■

Letters to the Editor USPS EDITOR: irst they came for the mailboxes, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a mailbox ... Think about it. JAMES E. LONGHOFER Placerville

We rely on the postal service EDITOR: pen letter to the postmaster general: I have never written to a postmaster general before, but it is obviously the time. Did you really think you could interfere with the postal service and no one would notice? I know you want to help the president get reelected, but I suggest you go door to door and leave fliers on door knobs. You don’t belong in the postmaster general’s office. I suggest you turn in your keys and leave the building because the American people are coming for you. You are interfering in a fundamental service that every American relies on. We get bills, checks, medications, news and, yes, even ballots through the mail and when someone tries to screw that up, people get upset. When you remove processing machines, bar code readers and mailboxes from the system, there are consequences, and not “unintentional” ones. Here is a newsflash for you: Removing automation is not more efficient. In less than 78 days, we have an election coming up and we need the postal service to deliver ballots to us and then, when we are ready to return them, we need the postal service to deliver those ballots to the elections office in the area where we live. That is in the same county where we live — not clear across the country. Ballots belong to the American people. They are not Republican ballots, Democratic ballots or Independent ballots. Every single one is precious. It is time for you to go home and leave the postal service to the professionals. Those are the people who already work for the postal service (except for the ones you fired) who know how to get the job done. Tell the president you are in over your head. Tell the president he has underestimated the American people. We do care. We do pay attention. We do want to vote. Many of us (I’m 78) really should vote by mail because going to a crowded polling place and

standing in long lines puts us in danger. We are trying to survive during a deadly pandemic that has already killed 167,000 people. (I’m sure there will be more by the time you receive this letter.) This is why we all need to vote by mail. Watch your mailbox. Listen to your phone messages. Read your email. The American people will be contacting you. I am not alone. You are going to be busy with all those messages — hopefully too busy to attempt to destroy the postal service. BONNIE G. CHAPMAN Placerville

Congressman McClintock’s voting record EDITOR: eople of District 4, Congressman Tom McClintock has voted against the postal service, the funds for highways, protecting your credit score and the Heroes Act, among other important bills. He does not represent you, but his own interests. Check out his voting record at House of Representatives Roll Call site. Be informed, get the facts and be aware of what he is doing. ELLEN FOX Pollock Pines

Great American Outdoors Act EDITOR: ongressman Tom McClintock recently voted against the Great American Outdoors Act — and for good reason. While the bill provides funding that would clear some deferred maintenance in federal forests, it introduces a host of new problems. The federal government has already proven that it is incapable of properly maintaining our forests, yet this act appropriates almost a billion dollars a year for new land acquisitions. Why do they need to buy more land if they can’t maintain what they have? They already own 46% of California and we can see its dire effects with how overgrown our forests are, making wildfires much more likely. The federal government does not need more land. Unless Congress appropriates more funding for forest maintenance, the fact that this law passed should concern everyone. More private land will be

The real challenges of making that 3-foot putt

ho hasn’t missed a 3-foot putt? I have. I’ve missed 10-inch putts, not regularly but not that unusual either. I’ve missed a lot more 3-foot than 10-inch putts, just for the record. One time I sank a CHRIS 28-foot putt for par on the old course at Highway 50 and El Dorado Hills Boulevard. That was a fun course. I’m sorry it closed. It’s been a long time since I last played. Blame it on the back, the hips and the knees. I even donated my 50-year old-bag and clubs to Snowline Hospice about this time last year. I bought them for $42 at the Montgomery Ward in Stockton when I was a social worker there in 196869. We had a fun group of players from the office. One woman used only a 3-iron the entire game. She used to beat me like a rented mule, but I was brand new to golf at that time. I really have choked on any number

of 3-foot putts. I remember one time at the course on Jackson Highway in Rancho Cordova. I often played on my way home to Placerville from my teaching job in Davis. My friend Kathy taught in Sacramento and we arrived at the course about the same time in DALEY spring and fall. The round I’m referring to saw us on the 5th hole. I don’t remember what par was, but I got to within 3 or 4 feet of the cup. The best I could do would have given me a bogey on the hole. Not bad for me in those days. But, I choked. I choked, flung my putter in the air like a boomerang and “bam” or, more accurately, “blup-squish” — the big blue jay dropped like a bag of (I don’t know. Peas or corn, I suppose). Whoa, I didn’t see that coming. Another time, at the little course by the Placerville airport where my softball club guys would gather a dozen times a year or so for golf and beer, I came up against an easy 3-foot

putt. There were a lot of rabbits on the lower holes sometimes, deer and the occasional coyote too. Small planes taking off and landing were seemingly only 50 feet above and were a bit of a distraction. I advanced to the ball, lined it up with the hole and tapped it ever so gently toward the cup. It stopped 5 or 6 inches short. My fault totally. I just choked big time. I clobbered the nearest rabbit for a 56-yard shot. Best play of the day. Haggin Oaks club in Sacramento was a challenging course. The one time I played there I actually choked on a 2-foot putt. A kid from the local high school team coughed just as I swung through; the ball went wide by a foot. I called him over and said, “Look what you made me do.” Then I gave him a vicious noogie and warned him, “Don’t ever do that again when I’m here.” He said he wouldn’t and I believed him. But since I never played there again it wasn’t all that hard on him not to throw me off my game at Haggin Oaks. Now there’s been a lot of water under the bridge since the last time I shot anyone after choking on a 3-foot

putt. I can’t tell you where, but it was in another state quite a distance from here. As far as I know they never charged anyone and may still be looking for me if they ever pinned it on me, which I doubt. I avoid that state now. The first time I shot a guy multiple times was in another state I’ve also given a wide berth since. When I say multiple shots, I’m talking three, four shots at most. Reasonable in my book. Recently we’ve become aware of a police officer in Wisconsin who choked on a 3-foot putt. It’s all over the news. The president even went there to comfort him, basically telling him to “shake it off; everybody chokes on a 3-foot putt from time to time.” I’m OK with that response in general, but I also believe drilling seven high-impact rounds into a guy’s back is a little over the top. The cap on choked putts should be four, five rounds at most. That the guy’s three kids were in his car at the time of the shooting is immaterial but almost like a weird, twisted description of the event. Three kids, 3-foot putt. Fore!

Maximum enforcement this weekend California Highway Patrol Press release SACRAMENTO — Labor Day typically marks the end of the summer travel period but 2020 has been anything but typical. Although many Californians may forego the long weekend road trip this year for a staycation, the California Highway Patrol will still implement its Labor Day maximum enforcement period. CHP officials advise all drivers to take precautions to be safe behind the wheel and protect others — such as buckling up, avoiding distractions, adhering to a safe and legal speed and never driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Last year during the Labor Day holiday weekend 45 people were killed in crashes throughout California. Nearly three-quarters of all the vehicle occupants killed within CHP jurisdiction were not wearing a seat belt. CHP officers also made more than 1,000 arrests for driving under the influence during the 78-hour enforcement effort. “Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle while

Abercrombie crews worked diligently to raise Forebay’s dam 10 feet. Now we have a dam that meets safety standards and also increases our emergency water supply storage from less than a day to six days. It also allows us to increase hydroelectric power revenues by around $300,000 every year. And this dam will last generations and provide those benefits now and continuing into the far future. All of these projects have high costs. Thankfully, in concert with the rate adjustments, we have managed to refinance much of our current portfolio of debt. Much like refinancing a home for a more favorable payment, our refinancing effort resulted in a net present savings of almost $17 million over the life of

under the influence is extremely dangerous not only to the person driving but to everyone on the road with them,” said CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley. “If you travel this holiday weekend, make smart decisions and drive to arrive.” To help keep California’s roadways safe and assist motorists this weekend, all available CHP officers will be on patrol for the maximum enforcement period, which begins at 6:01 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and continues through 11:59 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7. This year, in addition to the MEP, the Office of Community Outreach and Media Relations produced a powerful public service announcement on the devastating impact driving under the influence had on a CHP officer and his family. Watch the documentary, titled “Falling,” online at chp.social. Over the past few years all CHP officers and sergeants have received additional training in the detection of impaired drivers. California also has the highest number of personnel trained as drug recognition experts in the nation.

95 years of service

The year 2020 also marks a milestone for the district. This is the 95th year that EID has been in business. On October 5, 1925 — 77 years after Marshall discovered gold — El Dorado County residents voted to form the El Dorado Irrigation District. The reasons? To protect water rights, ensure a secure water supply, keep irrigation rates reasonable and increase the value of agricultural lands. In

those days water was also essential to gold mining as well. Water rights became more precious than the gold that was mined from the local mountainsides and streams. Many things have changed over the years as our service area transformed from mostly agriculture to increasingly offering water, wastewater and recycled water service to more than 125,000 residents in El Dorado County. As the years have passed we have

aimed at balancing the increasing needs of our aging infrastructure with balanced, right-sized, fiscally conservative approaches to repairing and replacing our communities’ vital assets. Our dedication to providing safe, reliable service is unwavering. It has been for generations and it will continue to be for another 95 years and beyond. Jim Abercrombie is general manager of the El Dorado Irrigation District.

Corn Moon Ceremony comes to Placerville Kevin Christensen Staff writer

ance students and instructors from Danza Azteca InLak’ech of Oakland brought the Corn Moon Ceremony and blessing to the SOL Community Farmers Market in Placerville Sunday. The full moon of September, also known as corn moon or barley moon by some Native American cultures, arrives at harvest time for essential crops like corn. This year the corn moon rose Sept. 2. "Corn is a life giver and it is important we honor and respect it, which includes growing it naturally and traditionally," said Luli Velasco of the Chiricahua Apache and Tohono O'odham Nations and organizer of the SOL Community Farmers Market. "We had the blessing and ceremony Sunday to honor the moon and corn harvest, as well as the community." Sunday's ceremony, led by Danza Azteca InLak’ech Capitan Manuel Garcia Jr., was a gift from the InLak'ech to the community. The ceremony opened with Placerville resident Kimberley ShiningStar Petree offering a Miwok blessing and prayer. Sunday's ceremony had more

significance this year, Velasco explained. "We also brought the community together because there is much dissent in town and in the county. Relations are very stressed at this time and in the country as well. This is our land. We help to bring the healing," she said. The ceremony also had an ofrenda, or altar, placed on a traditional rug, made near a tree with corn stalks. The rug included fresh, organic, non-gmo offerings of flowers, fruit water, heirloom squash and beans. Attendees were invited to place mementos of loved ones on the altar to be included in prayer. "Organic non-gmo is very important, as our traditional foods have been taken and we can no longer farm and hunt and gather as we did and there's difficulty accessing these foods without all the toxicity in today's soil and processing," Velasco said. Corn and corn stalks Sunday were donated by El Dorado County farms (Flying V Farms, The Natural Gardening Company, Limonada of Tahoe and Bigfoot FryBread).

DO YOU GOTTA GETAWAY??

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Self-awareness is one of the more advanced and difficult of human feats. Since you are always inside yourself, trustworthy feedback from the outside world is necessary to your perspective. You’ll get it today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t worry about what’s going to happen if you choose what promises to be the harder route. The activities that will be difficult and stressful will also be exciting and exhilarating. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Challenge yourself physically. Not only are you up for it, but also you’ll grow quickly in all the ways that matter to you — speed, strength, grace and even cognitive function. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re afraid to commit, and that’s because you don’t know when the commitment is over. Put a button on it. When you give it a timeframe, especially a short one, fear is allayed and talent rises up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It won’t be that hard to do three times the work that the others around you are doing. This brings up the question: Are you in the right crowd for your skills? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People come to depend on you, not by accident, but because you’ve essentially trained them to. Every time you show up and solve the problem, the training is reinforced. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Remember when you fanta-

sized and then it more or less came true? As you gain experience, your new fantasies are even closer to what is likely to unfold. Enjoy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People use problems as ways to connect with others. Even so, be mindful of what you want to get involved in, as things will not be as simple to solve as they first appear. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a ticker tape running through your head. Sometimes, you stop reading it. Possibly, thoughts get so repetitive you tune them out. More likely, they run too fast and better cognition requires slowing down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you are sensitive to what drains you and what gives you energy, decisions become easy. You’ll do only what fills you up or what is so important that it’s worth being drained over. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want the best for yourself and your loved ones. Bigger is not always better though. Today, it will be the smaller investments that have the best ratio of value to effort. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Suffering is usually linked to a distortion of thought. Eliminate the distortion and what’s left will be a manageable problem that is far less painful with which to cope.

No license needed to cast your line Saturday Kevin Christensen Staff writer Get ready to cast out your lines on Free Fishing Day, Saturday, Sept. 5, thanks to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The CDFW typically offers two official Free Fishing Days each year around Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday weekends — allowing legal fishing without any license. “Free Fishing Day is the perfect chance to see what so many Californians already have discovered, and that is fishing can be a great escape in difficult times

specific rules and regulations, recommending that before heading to fishing destinations to check if any safeguards or restrictions have been instituted to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. There have been more annual, resident sport fishing licenses issued so far in 2020 than throughout all of 2019, according to data from the CDFW. “Amid the COVID-19 pandemic Californians are rediscovering the joys of fishing and its restorative effects,” state CDFW officials.

taking away temporary workers. Schools, from K-12 through universities, used to start the day after Labor Day and end in mid-June. Prime vacation months corresponded to those dates. Seasonal hires matched those dates, which worked pretty well. That time frame is long gone. School schedules are now all over the place, starting in early to mid-August, and getting out sometime in May or early June. That’s a conflict with prime vacation time. Most campgrounds and areas in the high country around here can’t open in early or mid-May or June due to snow and weather issues. Finding seasonal hires has become difficult as a result. Seasonal hires head back to school while the forest still needs them. Campground hosts, who typically have a motorhome or trailer and are retired, are more difficult to find as well. Not only that but the seasonals have to be willing and capable of spending the summer in the forest, can pass the federal hiring process, and are OK with the pay and conditions. Private companies, like Royal Elk, are contracted in a daunting process to fill the gaps. They respond to requests for proposals that are quite specific as to what is needed, and what is included in the contract. Bids by qualified companies are sent to a team of recreation specialists with the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 5, which is the entire state of California, for evaluation. They make recommendations and the forest supervisor chooses the winning bid based on an analysis of the background of the bidder, the money involved and service that will be provided that best suits the needs and conditions on the Eldorado National Forest. There’s nothing lightweight about the contract. Campground hosts are just a small part of it. The range of the responsibilities are wide, complex and require some pretty specific expertise: Water systems, trash removal contracts, waste control and removal, signage, educational programs, hazard tree removal, safety, fire safety, fee collection, reservation management, resource protection, 24/7 campground management, day-use management, uniforms of campground employees, resource protection, mountains of paperwork, the ability to maintain composure when a camper wants to know what to do

While no fishing license is required on Free Fishing Day, CDFW officials state all fishing regulations like bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures will remain in effect. Every angler must possess an appropriate report card if they are fishing for steelhead or sturgeon anywhere in California, or salmon in Smith and Klamath-Trinity river systems.

Risso and Josh Lease, who organized the first roundabout protest, are working together. Risso stresses the gathering will be peaceful and respectful. “We don’t want to see the end of tourism, we want to just see them deal with the overtourism issue,” Risso said. Organizers encourage signs at the gathering but urge them to be respectful of residents and tourists. Organizers said examples of respectful sign include: · County does not hear us · No action = no care · Neighborhoods are not highways · Waze destroys neighborhoods · Your map app will get you stuck · There are no faster routes · Your GPS is lying — there are no shortcuts · Traffic — just try to evacuate in this · Over tourism = dangerous Traffic · If you are sitting in traffic, you are the traffic

Areas closed at Tahoe to treat plague-carrying fleas U.S. Forest Service News release Parking areas at the Tallac Historic Site, Kiva Beach/Picnic Area and the Taylor Creek Visitor Center at Lake Tahoe were temporarily closed Wednesday to allow mitigation of fleas in the area that

have tested positive for plague bacteria. The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is working closely with the California Department of Public Health and anticipates the parking areas will reopen before Labor Day weekend.

Skin Care

Visitors should take the following precautions when visiting areas where active plague has been found: Stay on trails; keep pets on a short leash and do not let them investigate rodent burrows.Avoid contact with wild rodents, which can be infected with fleas. Do not touch sick/ dead rodents.Report

unusual observations to rangers.Do not camp, sleep/rest near animal burrows.Wear long pants tucked into boots to reduce exposure to fleas.Apply insect repellent to socks/pant cuffs.If possible, leave pets at home. Plague is naturally occurring in many parts of California, including the Sierra Nevada, and can be transmitted through

bites from infected fleas. Plague is readily treatable when diagnosed early. Anyone who experiences any of the following symptoms after recreating in these areas, especially if there is evidence of an insect bite, is asked to inform medical professionals of where and how plague may have been contracted.

Symptoms include: • Fever/chills • Muscle aches/ weakness • Swollen/tender lymph nodes Questions about closures may be directed to pa_ltbmu@ fs.fed.us and more information about the plague bacteria can be found at cdph.ca.gov/ Programs/CID/DCDC/ Pages/Plague.aspx.

Due to extreme wildfire conditions and risk to lives and property, Sierra Pacific Industries is closing its California forestlands to public access. This closure will begin Friday at 5 p.m. and remain in effect until further notice. “SPI takes its commitment to protecting our forest resources and public safety seriously,” said Andrea Howell, SPI spokeswoman. “With weather conditions

continuing to bring significant wildfire risk, along with firefighting resources already fully deployed across the state for other wildfires, we made the difficult decision to close our lands to public access and recreation.” SPI owns 1.7 million acres of land in California that it manages as the fourth largest lumber producer in the United States, according to a 2017 report by Forisk Consulting. SPI land in El Dorado County is accessed off Sand Mountain

Boulevard out of Quintette, Mosquito Road, Po Ho Ridge Road and Rock Creek Road, among other areas along the Highway 50 corridor. Some of SPI’s land intermingles with Eldorado National Forest land. Public roads on SPI’s forestlands will remain open, but walk-in access to their privately-owned lands will not be allowed.

City budget

Continued from A1

the city would see a significant drop in sales tax dollars coming in. That’s what consultants HdL said the future appeared to portend. City officials in just the past few weeks met with department heads to discuss possible employee cutbacks, getting ready to tighten the city’s belt by at least a few notches. “We were looking in May at 15% of the General Fund needing cutting,” Finance Director Warren reminded the council during Wednesday’s special session, conducted through Zoom. HdL by then was predicting a more than 36% decrease in sales taxes, Warren continued, but when the numbers for the quarter came in late last week and earlier this week, that’s not the story the figures told. “I about fell out of my chair,” Warren said. “It was completely the opposite.” The finance director added that the state of California-released figures indicate an increase of more than 18% in sales taxes going into Placerville city coffers. “And the state overall is up by 5%,” said Warren. As a result, a city budget that had worried city staff because it appeared serious cuts would need to be made … shouldn’t be any problem at all, not for

the immediate future, according to the finance director. He plans to submit the proposed budget for City Council initial approval at its next meeting Sept. 8, with final approval possible by the council’s Sept. 22 session. “The budget is balanced,” said Warren, his voice tinged Wednesday with pride — and a touch of wonder — as a couple council members offered their congratulations. “You only had to look at all the cars at Home Depot” to know sales taxes were not in trouble, contended Councilwoman Borelli, who along with other council members questioned why the city’s hired consultants did not see what was coming. Warren said the crowds of shoppers at Home Depot and similar stores are actually indicative of a current theory among economists that the uptick in sales taxes may be a onetime phenomenon, that the future still could be as dark as what was warned. He said the public went into a “hoarding” phase, scooping up not just toilet paper but anything that would help make their individual homes a welcome place to hide, to shelter in place as COVID-19 swept into town and appeared to intend to stay. “The theory is … (the public) was buying

other products, like computers, desks bought so they could work at home,” Warren said. “(The purchasing of) home improvement (merchandise) is through the roof.” A huge boost, too, came from online shopping — if the customer lives in El Dorado County, then the city of Placerville gets a share of sales tax revenues from those transactions, Warren explained. “We get a piece of the action.” The finance director reminded the council that throughout the pandemic restrictions, the “top 25” sales tax generators in Placerville “were still in business.” That list includes Thompsons Auto Group, several gas stations, Big 5 Sporting Goods, Raley’s, Rite Aid and Save Mart. That prompted Vice Mayor Dennis Thomas to again wonder aloud, “How could HdL miss it so bad?” He asked why those indicators (business that stayed open, a flurry of shoppers of home goods) apparently were not considered by the consultants. “They’re not the only economists who did that,” said Warren. “Most said the second quarter was going to be the worst in California. “We haven’t had a pandemic in 100 years,” he added, explaining that even the experts weren’t able to grasp some resulting nuances. Those nuances were set

is one the Board of Supervisors approved in 2009. It’s for an El Dorado County Historical Railroad Park to be located in the community of El Dorado as a satellite facility of the El Dorado County Museum. The 6.3-acre site would be home to the museum’s collection of railroad artifacts, a section of operational track and multiple-use pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian trails. County staff suggested that a Prop. 68 grant could be pursued to fund the project. Sports complex — A sports complex was also mentioned as a top priority for the community as sports fields at local schools are usually only available on a limited basis. A 30-acre site in the Missouri Flat/Diamond Springs area is owned by the Marshall Foundation with the intent that it be used as a sports complex. Sanders said while there is no agreement with the foundation, it presents an opportunity to develop an active recreation center at the site and to operate it as a public/private project with the Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado County Western Slope running it. Placerville dog park — A dog park in Placerville may go in next to the El Dorado Trail off Jacquier Road where county-owned land is vacant. Staff has proposed the county and city work together to fund the development of a dog park, although no plan has been proposed or approved and no funding has been identified. 56 acres in South Lake Tahoe — The city of South Lake Tahoe has received a grant from the California Tahoe Conservancy to study uses for a 56-acre parcel along Lake Tahoe’s shore.

Funding opportunities

A variety of options for funding these projects were outlined by Sanders during her presentation. One source of funding would be the sale of a 26-acre parcel at the end of Red Hook Trail Road in Pollock Pines. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that the funds from the property sale be used to fund the Forebay Community Park improvements. Another piece of property, already sold by the county — a 41-acre site

adjacent to Bass Lake that was acquired by the El Dorado Hills Community Services District — brought in $250,000 which the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended be used to fund the design, environmental analysis and permits for a sports complex. Prop. 68 also presents opportunities for grants toward these projects with some $395 million in funding available. Projects meeting grant criteria include the sports complex, Forebay CommunityPark improvements and the railroad park; the sports complex and railroad park would require a 20% match. Prop. 68 awards funding on a percapita basis. The county was awarded $400,000, which is limited to the acquisition of land or improvements to an existing property. Other grant opportunities include $23 million available through California State Parks’ Rural Recreation and Tourism Program and another $23 million through its Regional Park Program. Based on staff recommendations and those of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Board of Supervisors approved staff continuing with the sale of the Red Hook Property and use of the proceeds for future park acquisition or development consistent with the county’s General Plan and Parks Master Plan. The board directed that Prop. 68 per-capita funding be used for construction of restroom improvements at Forebay Community Park, a playground at the railroad park and a dog park, working jointly with the city of Placerville. Last, the board approved staff working with County Counsel to acquire the property located at 3447 Clemenger Drive currently owned by the Marshall Foundation for the development of a sports complex, and to utilize the proceeds from the Bass Lake property for the purpose of conducting a fiscal analysis, design and environmental analysis. Board members voting for these items were Supervisors Brian Veerkamp, John Hidahl, Shiva Frentzen and Sue Novasel. Supervisor Lori Parlin voted no.

to translate into several Placerville city employees getting pink slips, and officials already had come up with an incentive package to encourage those nearing retirement to go ahead and leave city employ, explained City Manager Cleve Morris during Wednesday’s special meeting. Morris and Warren said some nine city employees already have accepted the incentivized deals and that their positions will be frozen, not filled, for now. The city manager said he doesn’t want to be overly optimistic in the days to come, however. “I’m still a little bit nervous about where we are, going forward,” he told the council. Mayor Michael Saragosa said Placerville appears to have been “blessed” in that more businesses haven’t had to close during the COVID19 response. “I’ve seen many businesses closing down in Sacramento — we haven’t had closures like have been seen in

Yifei Liu is the highlight of a film already loaded with great casting. She perfectly embodies every fascinating aspect of the character ...

Democrat correspondent scene that takes place on the scale of the film certainly belongs eve of the first big battle in Disney’s new live-action on the big screen and it is a shame most won’t see it that way — at least remake of “Mulan” gives us a quiet moment of bonding between several in this country. Watching at home is a consolation prize. members of the regiment as they A moment to explain how to share their fears of death before the watch this film: you must be a war starts for them. While there is subscriber to Disney+ ($6.99/mo) a bit of deception amongst them and purchase “Premier Access” as as Mulan is under disguise as a well, which means you will have to man, the scene is one where the drop another $30 to watch this film, characters truly get to know and trust each other and, as an audience, specifically. Is that a good deal? It is if you wanted to see it and were we get to know them a bit better as planning on taking a date or your well. I wish there was more of this family to the theater. If not, it will in an otherwise very good movie — be free for Disney+ subscribers one that is clearly the best of the starting Dec. 4. If you are interested bunch in Disney’s newer live-action in seeing some new content and, remakes of older properties. like most of us, are deprived of new I don’t recall seeing the original movies in your life, I do recommend animated “Mulan” from 1998, so “Mulan.” there is no attachment for me based For all the big-budgeted items like on my thoughts on that one. While production design, costumes, special it did well and was the first Disney effect and the like, the movie comes animated film to feature an Asian down to one thing: the casting of heroine as well as the first Disney the lead character and namesake animated film to openly deal with of the film herself. Yifei Liu is the warfare, it didn’t exactly set the box highlight of a film already loaded office on fire like other animated with great casting. She perfectly films in the ’90s (“The Lion King” embodies every fascinating aspect of and “Aladdin,” to name two) did the character and I hope we get to for the studio, so I was pleasantly see much more of her in the coming surprised when Disney announced years. that it was pouring a heck of a lot One aspect that I wish the of resources into this live-action filmmakers would have focused remake. a bit more time would have been To start, the film looks great. The Mulan as a child. We hear about cinematography by Mandy Walker the gifts she has exhibited since she makes a statement for the look and was a little girl, but we only get one feel of the picture immediately after scene of her as such. I think a bit the Disney logo disappears. The

more time with her as a young one, learning her skills but having them hidden by her family would have highlighted more of the relationship between father and daughter, which is an essential relationship in this story. All in all, “Mulan” is a beautiful and entertaining film that highlights Chinese culture and focuses on a determined, resourceful, brave, intelligent and loyal warrior. Not a princess. A warrior. When women, both in ancient times and our

current history, continue to be told to “know their place,” Mulan went out and found hers. That is a relevant and wonderful story for anyone to see, regardless of the time period. Joshua B.

Grant applications now accepted to help veterans, enhance EDH El Dorado Community Foundation News release

he El Dorado Community Foundation has announced that two grant-application cycles are now open for nonprofits serving the community.

Veterans Mini Grants Nonprofits recognized as charitable concerns by the Internal Revenue Services including nonprofit corporations, churches, governments and schools that administer programs and services in support of our local veterans have until Sept. 30 to apply for a Veterans Mini Grant. Requests of up to $3,500 will be considered. Since 2014 a portion of El Dorado County’s Transitory Occupancy Tax funding has been allocated to support operations, programs or property improvements/repairs for El Dorado County veterans.

Partnering together, the El Dorado Community Foundation as the administrator of these funds and the El Dorado County Veteran Affairs Commission grant these funds to nonprofit organizations. Complete requirements and submission details, as well as an online grant application, are available at smr.to/p67328. Questions can be directed to Kathy Haven at the El Dorado Community Foundation at kathy@ eldoradocf.org.

El Dorado Hills grants Local nonprofit agencies serving the community and residents of El Dorado Hills are invited to apply for grant funding — smr.to/p61954 — from the El Dorado Hills Giving Circle and El Dorado Hills Endowment. Applications of up to $5,000 will be accepted. In an effort to best serve the community, the grant does not have a specific focus area thereby inspiring new ideas with the possibility of responding to unmet community needs.

Premier Business Directory

Please note that the grant does not support the entire county, but is limited to El Dorado Hills. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Sept. 30. Further guidelines and funding requirements are available on the El Dorado Community Foundation website (eldoradocf.org/receive) or contact the foundation Program Officer Kathy Haven at (530) 622-5621 or kathy@eldoradocf.org. The El Dorado Hills Giving Circle and Endowment, funds of the El Dorado Community Foundation, work to increase awareness of El Dorado Hills’ needs and to inspire generosity to strengthen the community. Its mission states: “We are dedicated to building an endowment that provides annual funding to nonprofit organizations, enhances our community, and offers El Dorado Hills residents a vehicle for charitable giving.” The El Dorado Community Foundation is a recognized nonprofit organization by the Internal Revenue Service.

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 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.

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.
