Main Street crime spree lands man in county jail Pat Lakey Staff writer A 40-year-old Placerville man was booked into the El Dorado County Jail last week on suspicion of multiple charges, Ramono Philemon including sexual battery, after Montes he reportedly assaulted several people on Main Street in downtown Placerville and resisted arrest by police. Ramono Philemon Montes remained in custody Wednesday, nearly a week after he was arrested at the end of a short foot chase with police. Montes, reportedly known to officers due to previous contacts, allegedly had vandalized private property, assaulted someone causing injury and lifted the skirt of a woman who told police the suspect also deliberately touched her buttocks. Police were called shortly before noon Thursday, Sept. 3, to respond to reports of a man creating all sorts of havoc on Main Street. Officers saw it was Montes who was at the center of the conflict, they ordered him to comply with arrest procedures. He refused, taking off on foot. Once officers caught up with him, he remained combative, with police reporting that the suspect was “noncompliant.” No further details regarding the reported assault that caused injury were available at press time. Montes was booked on charges of sexual battery, attempted petty theft, battery resulting in serious bodily injury, vandalism and defacing property and resisting arrest. He remained in custody Wednesday in lieu of $13,000 bail.

S
howing great resilience, business owners and managers are coping with PG&E public safety power shutdowns by coming up with creative ways to work around having no electrical supply. Susan Cross, who runs a unique gift shop in Pollock Pines called Pony Express Shipping, where she sells a variety of decorative items for the house and garden, does shipping, offers notary service, live scan service, printing, faxing and copying, said she was running her business using a small generator. To handle shipping orders, she turned to a hot spot on her cell phone to connect to the internet once phone
service went out. Business was slow on Tuesday, she admitted, but part of that was because of road work taking place on Pony Express Trail. Down the road at Safeway in Pollock Pines, the store was bustling with shoppers. The manager said in the past they brought up refrigerator trucks when faced with a power outage. But now that power shutdown events have become “normal,” he said, they have a generator to keep the power on. At Nello Olivo Winery in Camino they still had power but owner Nello Olivo said he wasn’t taking any chances and bought a 100-kilowatt surplus military generator capable of keeping the electricity on at his winery and tasting room. “I bought it after last year’s outages,” he said. “We knew there would be more of those.” On Tuesday electrician Tyler Kull was busy hooking the generator up
to the building’s electrical system so when the power does goes down, Olivo’s entire operation stays open. “(This is) probably one of the few wineries open despite the power shutdown combined with COVID-19related restrictions,” he said, adding that at staff meetings they discuss a lot of “what-ifs” to prepare for different scenarios.
Microgrid future Because of the vulnerability of some areas of the county to having their power cut off, PG&E is in the process of building two microgrids — one in Georgetown and another in Pollock Pines. They are designed to provide electricity to certain customers and shared community resources during future power shutoffs. The microgrid backup generation n

Generator fire scorches house in Pollock Dawn Hodson Staff writer A blaze in Pollock Pines Tuesday left behind no more than charred remains after a generator caught fire and flames quickly took to a portion of the two-story house on Hazel Street. The fire was called in around 1:30 p.m. by Maryal Baumann, a tenant living on the top floor. A next-door neighbor said he also notified the fire department. Boumann said she was upstairs working when she heard the generator on the back porch skip a beat. She smelled smoke and saw the generator was on fire. Rushing downstairs, she pulled the generator away from the house and then got a fire extinguisher. Once the fire extinguisher’s contents were exhausted and with the fire still raging, she said she called 911 with fire crews responding within five minutes.

A 19-year-old Cameron Park man suffered fatal injuries last weekend when the motorcycle he was driving crashed into a dirt field off Green Valley Road east of Crowdis Lane, according to the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. Killed in the 11:10 p.m. incident Saturday, Sept. 5, was Michael
the motorcycle, according to the CHP, which reported the investigation is ongoing. Manson was an active duty U.S. Marine private first class stationed out of Camp Pendleton about to be deployed to the USS Makin Island, according to family members. Conditions at the time of the crash were clear, warm and dark, an officer reported.

Larry Hays
Larry passed away peacefully ealier this month at Marshall Hospital in Placerville, Calif., due to cancer. His choice of burial will be cremation with no services. Larry was born Aug. 4, 1957, to Lee and Virginia Hays in Yreka, Calif. He was 63 years old and enjoyed every day of those 63 years of his life. Larry was a happy-go-lucky guy and it showed in everything he did in his life. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. There wasn’t a person he met he didn’t like. His creativity was also very unique. He liked working with all kinds of metals making yard art for his family and friends. He also liked working with wood; after all, he was a logger all his life. He worked for Erickson Lumber Co. and the Arens Brothers for many years running heavy equipment. Larry started work in the woods right after high school. He worked hard and loved it. He especially enjoyed the special relationship and fun he had with his coworkers. His coworkers gave him the nickname of PONCHO (an inside joke) and Larry loved it and them. When he had to retire due to his health, leaving his friends was the worst. But he kept himself busy with projects around the house. Larry was a generous and giving person. He was always willing to help people, no matter who they were. He was truly a kind, gentle, loving man. The love of his life was his wife Karyn whom he’d been married to for 30 years. They loved traveling, visiting with family and friends, spending time in Reno, taking a day to go to thrift stores and just being home with their little dogs. Larry is survived by his wife Karyn (Kerr) of Pollock Pines, Calif.; sister Clarice Warren (Larry) of Fernley, Nev.; brothers David Hays (Chris) of Grass Valley, Calif.; Roy Hays (Emily) of Penn Valley, Calif. and many nieces and nephews. Larry is preceded in death by his dad Lee Hays; his mom Virginia Hays (Hardy); brother Morris Hays and sister Charlotte Becker (Hays). There was only one, there will never be another like him. He will be loved and missed by everyone who ever knew him.
Frank Vilt, owner of Frank Vilt’s Cakes in Cameron Park, photo above, wanted to send a message to the community so he called up local artist Shannon Chard to paint his businesses’ windows to show gratitude for El Dorado County’s first responders. Shannon Chard, left photo, who has been painting windows for 27 years and owns Yellow Sail Designs, finishes the artwork.

The Fork Fire, pictured hours after it started Sept. 8, is burning on the Eldorado National Forest in the area of the 2015 King Fire burn scar.
Fork Fire burning near Crystal Basin Thomas Frey Staff writer A mandatory evacuation order for residents in Stumpy Meadows, Quintette and Volcanoville has been put in place as the Fork Fire off Wentworth Springs Road east of Gerle Creek continues to burn in the Eldorado National Forest. National Gaurd and U.S. Forest Service firefighters estimate the blaze has burned 2,000 acres since it sparked Tuesday afternoon. Minimal firefighting resources were available for the first 48 hours due to other large fires in the area causing strain on federal, state and local government resources, U.S. Forest Service officials said. The Fork Fire is currently 0% contained. Full containment of the blaze is projected for Sept. 22, according to an update posted to InciWeb Wednesday evening. The fire is burning about 15 miles northeast of Pollock Pines and is moving west toward the King Fire burn scar in the Rubicon drainage on the Georgetown Ranger District. “I would urge our citizens to comply with the evacuation order for their safety and the safety of the first responders in the area,” said Moke Auwae, an El Dorado County sheriff ’s sergeant in a press release. “The steep terrain, weather conditions and limited visibility are reasons to
exercise abundant caution.” A temporary evacuation center has been set up at Cool Community Church, 863 Cave Valley Road in Cool. The fire threatens recreation residences, private structures and private land inholdings. Also at risk are industrial timberlands, forest service recreation and administrative facilities, recreational trail systems, hydroelectric power facilities and transmission and distribution lines. Sensitive natural and cultural resources are also threatened. The Fork Fire has not crossed into Placer County. Hell Hole Reservoir, French Meadows Reservoir and Oxbow Reservoir have been evacuated and the Rubicon Trail is shut down to 4×4 traffic, according to the Placer County Sheriff ’s Office. Five engines, one dozer, two hand crews and two water tenders are working to tame the fire. Firefighters are using a full suppression strategy with confine/ contain tactics. The goal is to minimize fire spread within the Rubicon River drainage to protect communities of Volcanoville, Quintet, Stumpy Meadows and Georgetown. They also hope to protect critical hydroelectric infrastructure and high voltage lines that provide power to the Sacramento region. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

CERT members train to handle real-world incidents so they can jump into action should disaster strike.
Local residents train for emergency response Sel Richard Staff writer A group of residents was recently faced with a scenario in which members were to enter a collapsed building to rescue injured victims. El Dorado Hills Fire Department’s first Community Emergency Response Team was off and running. Although CERT training is new to El Dorado Hills, it is based on a program initially developed in 1985 to build a volunteer force for the Los Angeles earthquake disasters. By 1993 it became a national program, adopted by FEMA, to aid in disaster relief, preparedness and community awareness. Originally launched last November, the EDHFD program was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. A much smaller class was formed in June to ensure appropriate social distancing. In three weeks the eight trainees
completed more than 20 hours of hands-on training for Level Three — entry level certification. For their final exercise June 27, trainees were required to gain entry and extinguish a fire, survey the interior of a building, triage, move and provide care for injured patients. “It’s very real-world stuff that your fire department does,” said El Dorado Hills Fire Inspector Bryce DeWitt, adding that each team member acted in all roles: caregiver, incident command and observer. DeWitt has been working on the local version of the program for the past year. In Level Three, trainees focused on awareness and preparedness, compiling their own 72-hour kit to provide survival or shelter-in-place supplies in the event of evacuation or loss of resources. Basic first aid was also covered, such n

Newsom’s third try on COVID-19
W
ill the third time be the charm for Gov. Gavin Newsom and his somewhat erratic efforts to battle the COVID-19 pandemic while preventing irreparable damage to the state’s once-vibrant economy? DAN WALTERS Newsom won widespread praise for his earliest efforts at preventing spread of the sometimes fatal coronavirus six months ago, ordering widespread shutdowns of consumer businesses such as restaurants and bars. It set California apart from other states, such as New York, that were experiencing sharp spikes in infections and deaths. Newsom issued what appeared to be tight guidelines for reopening, but as the economy slowed and hundreds of thousands — later millions — of workers lost their jobs, Newsom felt the political heat and relented, allowing many of the shuttered businesses to reopen even though infections were still increasing. “We have to recognize you can’t be in a permanent state where California Gov. people are locked away Gavin Newsom’ is — for months and making his third months and months and months on end — to major attempt to see lives and livelihoods strike a balance completely destroyed, between fighting without considering the health impact of COVID-19 and those decisions as well,” protecting the Newsom rationalized. economy. In early July Newsom reversed course again, citing alarming increases in infection rates and deaths. He closed bars, made wearing protective facemasks mandatory, reinstituted bans on indoor activities in 19 counties with high infection rates and threatened counties with a loss of state funds if they balked. “We have conditioned $2.5 billion in our state budget on applying the spirit and the letter of the law as it relates to health directives at the county level,” Newsom said. “If local officials are unwilling to enforce and are being dismissive, we will condition the distribution of those dollars.” Newsom’s health advisors instituted a “monitoring list” of counties based on a bewildering series of criteria that almost no one, save themselves, understood. Newsom’s frequent telecasts on COVID-19 were supposed to explain what was being done but they were more confusing than elucidating. Two months after the second economic crackdown, Newsom announced still another approach, claiming — as he always does — that it’s driven by scientific advice on how best to balance fighting infection and minimizing economic

Letters to the Editor Innovation by government
Response to Chris Daley
EDITOR:
EDITOR: n response to Chris Daley’s “Open Letter to Congressman Tom McClintock.” So every time our president says something provocative, you demand our local representative respond via the Mountain Democrat? Really? If you want answers, ask the person who offended you. So President Trump said if Biden wins the next election, Iran, China and North Korea will “own” this country. Hate to break it to you, but they almost did under Obama, Clinton and Bush, perhaps even before then. They “owned” us by our government allowing our businesses to move production to foreign nations, to manufacture our goods at slave labor prices, then import those products back into the United States at higher profits with no import tax — all at the detriment of Americans who lost their jobs. Not to mention the high tech companies that insist they need H1B1 visa workers because Americans don’t possess the skillsets required. How about these companies partner with our high schools, colleges and universities to ensure Americans develop these skills? Also, to question someone’s eligibility is now a form of “pure racism?” Really? We should ensure every person who seeks the presidency is eligible. There was a time when both of your parents had to be Americans for their child to be eligible to run for president, then it was reduced to just one had to be an American and now just being born here to non-citizens makes you eligible? Why are you so blatantly comfortable that we keep lowering our standards? Congress needs to make law as to what makes a natural-born citizen and put an end to these questions. But to call me or anyone else racist because we question and want to ensure the eligibility of anyone running for president is ludicrous, if not dangerous. What truly is scary is the fact that, over the years, we allowed our pharmaceuticals, or at least their base substances, to be 100% manufactured in China — a country that uses slave labor, steals our intellectual property and constantly spies and attempts to infiltrate all aspects of our government. Are you OK with that? Many Americans lost their jobs because of it. You at least admit these countries are run by

r. Weitzman’s Aug. 24 opinion concludes: “It was mostly individuals working alone or in concert, without the hindrance of government, who achieved the advances we enjoy today.” The nonpartisan Information Technology and Innovation Foundation would disagree: “… (M) any of the biggest innovations stem from the work of the community, (supported with federal money) rather than a lone innovator.” (www2.itif.org/2014federally-supported-innovations.pdf.) The quoted publication goes on to list 22 federally supported innovations including ones in the areas of IT, energy, mathematics, education, agriculture and — yes — aviation. The opinion piece provided a great review of the Wright brothers contributions in the latter area. I would suggest that their insights into three-axis control as critical to powered flight provide an analogy for the need for private, nonprofit and public sector collaboration to create progress. For example, the Wright brothers invented controlled-powered flight, the federal government funded the growth of the aviation industry through mail and military contracts and our universities advanced the understanding of next generation aircraft composites. Historically competitors in other countries initially outpaced the USA in applying the Wright brothers’ advances to progress. Then we developed the partnerships encouraged by our Constitution’s improvements on the Articles of Confederation such as federal courts, interstate commerce regulations and executive authority. According to Forbes these partnerships lead to “… a fundamental economic formula: research discoveries lead to innovations, which lead to business growth, which is the basis for increased economic competitiveness.” (forbes.com/sites/ michaeltnietzel/2019/10/22/the-us-losesground-to-the-rest-of-the-world-in-r-and-dfunding/#1bfd1c82202d.) I would urge the Mountain Democrat to embrace the insights of history by publishing articles that address the fact the USA is falling behind in the university research critical to innovation. According to the Forbes article, in 2017 we were 28th out of 39 OCED nations in government funding of such research and 20th in funding by business. Our progress may be headed “right for the drink.” LÉO BENNETT-CAUCHON Shingle Springs

To pipe or not to pipe? That is the question
T
he decision to pipe the main ditch, aka El Dorado Canal, has been made. But, was that the right decision? Let’s look at both sides of the issue. The El Dorado Irrigation District has transported water 3 miles in an open ditch HARRY from Forebay Reservoir to a treatment plant in Pollock Pines for decades. No deaths or serious illnesses have been documented from drinking the treated water. The El Dorado Canal is an attractive water feature, except when it’s emptied four to six months each year for maintenance. Large trees grow along its banks and wildlife is attracted to the area. Neighbors and visitors enjoy walking along the adjacent path. Some claim the canal helps keep wildland fire from reaching homes along the way.
Trees along the canal may die without the life-sustaining water from the canal unless property owners chose to water them. It’s undisputed that the canal enhances the lives of those whose back yards border it. So is El Dorado Irrigation District nothing NORRIS but a cold-hearted government agency to obliterate a canal that means so much to some Pollock Pines residents? Let’s look at the other side. No EID responsibility is greater than that of providing safe drinking water 24/7, 365 days a year to 42,000 families and businesses. This responsibility is becoming increasingly difficult to fulfill at the Pollock Pines water treatment plant. Over time the number of people using and abusing the canal have increased. Human remains and dead animals have been recovered from

the ditch, along with batteries, tires and a motorcycle. Even hydro seeding chemicals have been pumped into the canal. Septic systems along the canal regularly leach ecoli and coliform into the water as well. This is the last open ditch from a reservoir to a treatment facility in the EID system. EID officials say, “EID customers are at risk from deadly contamination until a pipe replaces the open ditch if a problem occurs at the treatment plant.” So how does EID intend to pay for the $15 million, 3-mile pipe? Three ways — water saved, treatment costs reduced and rate revenue. About 1,800 acre-feet of water is lost annually to seepage and evaporation from the ditch. The water saved will be used to produce more hydro power to pay for much of the project. After producing power the water will travel to Folsom Lake, where it will still have value as consumptive water. Besides the carrot, there is a stick. The state mandates efficient use of water for
EID to retain full use of its water rights. Future fines are a possibility if EID fails to conserve precious water. In short, EID cannot continue doing business the way it did 50 years ago. Water treatment costs are high for this treatment plant. The ditch requires constant maintenance throughout the year to keep it clean and remove foreign material. Filters need to be serviced more often. Extra chlorine is required. The pipe eliminates these extra costs thereby helping pay for the project. So the question is: Which is more important, maintaining an open canal for the enjoyment of a few hundred people or piping an open ditch to enhance the safety of thousands while meeting conservation goals? EID and El Dorado County Superior Judge Sullivan had it right. The ditch needs to be piped. Harry Norris is a former EID board member He has been an El Dorado County resident since 1984 and currently lives in Camino.

damage. “We’ve learned a lot over the last number of months,” Newsom said as he unveiled a color-coded map of the state’s 58 counties, each color denoting the level of a county’s infection. He also revealed a new state contract for infection tests he said would vastly expand access. The new system appears to be top-down and rigid, removing much of the wiggle room for local officials. Most of the counties and most of the state’s population are in the high infection category with the most restrictive curbs on economic activities. Counties must remain in their tiers for at least three weeks and can move to less restrictive tiers only if they meet their tighter criteria for two consecutive weeks. If a county’s numbers worsen for two weeks in a row, it will be moved to a more restrictive tier. “We’re going to be more stubborn this time,” Newsom said. Managing a pandemic of unknown ferocity is obviously an extremely difficult task, one in which — as in war — tactical decisions can have life and death consequences. That said, Newsom’s record reflects a certain hubris. He pronounced each major policy as if it was delivered from on high, certain to have the desired outcome, but each was
followed two months later by something sharply different. Newsom should hope that his third managerial attempt succeeds because he’s been burning his storehouse of credibility.

brutal dictatorships, but you conveniently skip over how much of American production was allowed to be moved to these countries. If the companies want cheaper labor, why do they support minimum wage laws? Higher wages naturally result in higher costs. Moving their production to low-wage countries to circumvent our minimum wage laws is hypocritical and wrong. As is typical of leftist liberal Democrats, you generalize comments into a small box of one size fits all and throw in some racism and QAnon crazy conspiracies in an attempt to prove your point, when all you sound like is the Peanuts cartoon teacher character voice of “wah, wah, wah.” MARSHA ZOSLOCKI Placerville

EID to discuss impact of power shutoffs Dawn Hodson Staff writer With future public safety power shutdowns by PG&E a certainty, an agenda item scheduled for Monday’s meeting of the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors will be a discussion of the projected impact of these shutdowns on the agency’s operational preparedness. The board will also consider approving a contract amendment to Markit! Forestry Management for $62,040 for the mastication of piled vegetation. Another contract up for consideration is a $755,395 contract with Doug Veerkamp General Engineering, Inc. for construction of the El Dorado Lift Pipeline replacement project. Total funding of the project is projected to be $905,395. Staff will also review the history of leaks and breaks along the Fort Jim lateral pipeline. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the meeting will be conducted virtually. The public can listen and participate by phone or via Zoom on a computer or mobile device.

Property tax relief available
A7
comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
K. E. Coleman El Dorado County Treasurer-Tax Collector The state Controller’s Office has announced applications for deferment of 2020-21 property taxes will be available sometime this month. The Property Tax Postponement program, or PTP program, administered by the state Controller’s Office, allows eligible homeowners to postpone payment of property taxes on their primary residence. To be eligible homeowners must be at least 62, blind or have a disability; own and occupy the home; have a total household income of $45,000 or less; have at least 40% equity in the home; and meet other requirements. Repayment under the PTP program becomes due when the homeowner moves, sells, transfers title, defaults, refinances, dies or obtains a reverse mortgage. Funding for the program is limited. Applications are accepted from Oct. 1 to Feb. 10, 2021 and are processed in the order received. “This is a popular program so if you are interested and feel that you may qualify, do not delay,” advised El Dorado County Treasurer-Tax Collector K. E. Coleman. Contact the state controller’s team by phone at (800) 952-5661 or by e-mail to postponement@sco.ca.gov. “An addition to the PTP program last year that was an added benefit for many seniors in our county,” continued Coleman, “is that manufactured homes now qualify.” Requirements are subject to change without notice if the law is revised. Additional information and eligibility requirements can be found at sco.ca.gov/ ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html.

as splinting, bandaging, bleeding control plus some basic CPR and other life-saving and survival skills. The newly trained CERT members will start Level Two training in January, through which they become a fire department resource. “That’s really exciting stuff because it lets the fire department become more functional,” said DeWitt, explaining that the additional medical training taught at that level enables volunteers to staff a medical tent at community events. Level Two trainees require a background check. Finally, Level One allows volunteers to become a FEMA resource as an emergency medical responder, what DeWitt terms as a step below an EMT. “If we had another Paradise incident, we would actually deploy a team of CERT members independently through FEMA,” DeWitt said. Former vocational nurse and CERT member Joel Wiley said his interest in community health assistance dates back to an accident he witnessed at age 17. “I felt helpless that I didn’t know how to help,” he remembered. “That is part of what interested me in the CERT program.” Wiley revealed that the training not only led him to change his own home safety plans but opened his eyes to multiple levels of involvement available to citizens through CERT. “I was impressed with Chief (Maurice) Johnson’s enthusiastic support of the program, and the breadth of experiences of the participants,” he said. “One of the CERT functions which was new to me was that of firefighter rehab as a response process to support firefighters at an incident to ensure they can rest, recuperate
and return to action. It never occurred to me that there was such a need.” EDH Fire Board Director Bobbi Bennett powered through her training despite a broken foot. “I now have an understanding of how I, as a citizen, can assist my community in an emergency situation. That’s a great feeling to know I can contribute,” she said, adding that the most memorable part for her was her fellow trainees. “Each of them brought different skill sets and interests, which can only contribute to a well-rounded CERT team.” As CERT program manager, DeWitt’s ultimate goal is to develop a completely community and volunteer based entity. “I’m just facilitating what they need,” he said. “Eventually, this will become their program. They will be the ones that will be teaching the skills and classes. It will be 100% driven by them.” DeWitt hopes to offer three Level Three sessions per year and advanced sessions depending on interest. The next Level Three adult training program is slated for October and a teen program is tentatively scheduled for November. He is currently considering a hybrid curriculum to address COVID-19 health concerns with parts of the training completed on-line. A CERT animal rescue operation is also potentially in the works. “I believe it’s a great addition to the El Dorado Hills community and hope residents decide to participate,” said Bennett.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel sympathetic to someone’s plight but try not to indulge the emotion of pity. When you see strength in people, you help them to see the strong parts of themselves. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you undervalue your contribution, then you could get into a situation in which you’re doing and giving more than is sustainable or healthy for you. That’s a recipe for resentment. Be generous but cautiously so. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Small gestures often mean more than anyone realizes at the time. There are exchanges that occurred over a decade ago that you still think about today. Your mind is a beautiful mystery. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll build up the people around you. It’s different for everyone. You have to feel out each situation as a standalone, and this is why you’re excellent at relationships. You know how much work they really are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can afford to be honest and direct. Some cannot do this without the requisite amount of charm. Some have too much baggage to do it without causing harm with the impact. Not you. You’re light today. Just say what you mean. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Opportunities will come to you in the form of complaints. Wherever there is an unhappy person, there is a chance at providing something lucrative, useful or healing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You take nothing and no one for granted. Unlike most people, you don’t have to lose something in order to recognize the value of it. You realize what you have, and you do what it takes to keep it perfectly intact. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The thing about peace is that it can’t be peace all the time or it wouldn’t be peace. Peace, like all things, needs a contrast. Is this any comfort -- knowing that times of disharmony help you spot peace when it comes? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People who are actively on their way to other places do not have the capacity to sit and enjoy one another, which is the glory of being a passenger and the magic of road trips and airplane rides. Someday. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The Snow Patrol song asks, “What if this all the love you ever get?” and though you can be assured that it’s not, posing the question could make you dig in a little deeper. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Does it seem like an agreement you made is turning into a much larger responsibility than you bargained for? Stand up for yourself. Your actions need to show that you know your own value. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are helpers around and the job gets done. As long as there is good communication, all goes well. And if there’s not, then it still might go well, but who’s going to know?

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Several agencies in El Dorado County are collaborating to change the way South Lake Tahoe deals with non-emergency response. South Tahoe Alternative Collaborative Services aims to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness, substance abuse disorder and mental health issues. While STACS hasn’t been launched yet, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, fire department, Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless, El Dorado County Behavioral Health, Barton and Cal Tahoe Joint Powers Authority Ambulance have been at the table discussing what the agreement will look like. “The goal is to build some structure to prioritize people with mental health issues,” said Cheyenne Purrington, executive director TCH. “A lot of the work is preventative, we’re trying to prevent the cycle of high utilization.” All the agencies involved have some kind of protocol in place for handling these types of situations but Purrington said STACS can help everyone to align their responses. While the roles of each agency involved differ based on their specialty, one of the overarching goals is to provide infield evaluations. STACS is the overarching program connecting the agencies, SLTPD will also be launching a modified Psychiatric Emergency Response Team, like the PERT program on the West Slope, that sends a mental health professional on calls with the assigned officer. If someone is having a mental health crisis, responders can connect them with a mental health specialist immediately rather than transporting them to Barton or putting them in a holding cell. One of the real values though, is the follow-up. “For example, if you have five people in a week who called while they were in crisis, or family members called while they were in crisis and it triggered a police response, this program is n

down Monday. Explosive growth of fires throughout California the next day led to closing all eighteen National Forests. The closure of the additional 10 forests was effective 5 p.m. Wednesday. “The forest is entirely closed to public access,” said El Dorado National Forest spokeswoman Jennifer Chapman. Details on road closures are expected to be released soon. The order prohibits going into or being on National Forest lands, roads or trails. Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Public Affairs Specialist Lisa Herron said they are still working on the details on how to reach people who might currently be out in the backcountry, adding that she hasn’t seen the forest service make a decision like this in the nearly 15 years she’s been working with them. Violation of the order is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization or 6 months prison time. Exceptions include those who work on forest lands, residents and owners or lessees of land, to the extent necessary to access their land. Forest officials plan to re-evaluate the decision daily as conditions change but the order is effective through Sept. 14. “The number of large fires and extreme fire behavior we are seeing across the state is historic,” said Regional Forester Randy Moore. “These temporary closures are necessary to protect the public and our firefighters, and we will keep them in place until conditions improve and we are confident National Forest visitors can recreate safely. “I ask all Californians and visitors to take these closures and evacuations seriously for their own safety and to allow our firefighters to focus on the mission of safely suppressing these fires,” Moore said. For more information call the Forest Supervisor’s Office at (530) 303-2412; contact information for district offices can be found at fs.usda.gov/eldorado/.

Hyundai Sonata: The new mid-size class act
Larry Weitzman
A
boulevardier, as defined in the MerriamWebster dictionary, is a frequenter of the Parisian boulevards or a person-about-town in more broad terms. So basically, to be a Parisian boulevard connoisseur, you must be fashionable, social and energetic. Being wealthy helps, too. The new Hyundai Sonata is the attainable boulevardier for a new generation. The 2020 Hyundai Sonata is entering its fifth decade but only in the past few years has it climbed the social ladder from “well, it was cheap,” to more of a “well, it’s pretty dang good.” When this new iteration was revealed a popular American magazine called it a “mic drop of awe.” I agree but would it stand up in real life? For an affordable car how could there be so much style? On the surface the Sonata was made for cruising the boulevards of cities. Especially once those LED running lights make their presence known; It all just looks expensive with bodywork that must’ve been cut by lasers in a science lab. It wears dark colors like a tailored Canali, too. This is a vehicle that commands attention, just like a proper boulevardier would want. If your chauffeur pulled up in one of these instead of the usual Benz, you likely wouldn’t think twice,
especially even after just half a glass of wine. It’s a mid-size sedan similar to a Camry or Accord but propelled by a smooth and frugal 1.6-liter, turbocharged inline-four, mated to an eight-speed automatic that drives the front wheels. Peak horsepower may only be 180 but arrives early and feels much quicker because of the 195 pounds of torque at just 1,500 RPM. This means that a third of all that power is available just off idle. A strong shove then comes in the mid-range from all the early, easy torque and power that a turbo provides, resulting in a sub-4-second, 50-70 passing time. Up a hill, that time only slows to 5.1 seconds. From the stoplights though, at 7.4 seconds to 60, it does lose out considerably to a V6 Camry or a highoutput turbocharged Accord. It does kill a 4-banger Camry, though. Fuel economy averaged 38 MPG on the freeway at a steady 71 and 29 overall in my

designed where the crisis worker or the officer will go back a couple of days later when the person is not in crisis and offer services and assistance to help keep that person stabilized,” said SLTPD Chief Dave Stevenson. SLTFD Chief Clive Savacool imagines the paramedics on STACS will be doing a lot of preventative work. “They’ll be making sure people are taking their medications, taking out stitches, checking in on people as a preventative measure so it doesn’t become an emergency,” Savacool stated as examples. “Keeping people healthier can help reduce 911 calls.” The agencies are still working out details on how this will work but Stevenson hopes to get STACS off the ground by Oct. 1. SLTPD won’t need to hire a new officer for the program but will assign an officer to STACS, as well as to PERT. “This is preliminary on the paramedic side but we’re being aggressive to get this off the ground because of the benefits we see for the community,” Savacool said. “TCH is pleased with Chief Stevenson’s proactive leadership on this project and appreciate that he’s dedicated meaningful resources to the collaboration,” Purrington said. “TCH looks forward to working with the STACS team to provide a wider range of appropriate mental health interventions to community members in crisis.”
Generator fire
Continued from A1
Division Chief Trent Williams said the cause of the fire is under investigation. Laying in front of the house Tuesday afternoon was a stack of burnt items that had been recovered from the residence, most of them severely damaged. The house also suffered considerable water damage. No one was injured and the fire was put out in about 15 or 20 minutes, according to Williams. Engines 21, 25, and 319 from county fire responded along with engine 49 from Diamond Springs and engine 336 from Folsom. Boumann said she regretted losing items of personal and historical value to her and her family in the fire.

might notice there’s no shifter — instead, you get buttons where you normally reach for the lever. Engagement of the transmission in a quick reverse-to-drive during a three-point turn is maybe a little slower than when moving a stick back and forth, but
this also engages more smoothly. All the safety systems you can think of are included as standard on this Limited, plus even lane assist that can help steer while on the freeway. It performed much more convincingly than a similar system on
a Toyota I tried recently, keeping me right in the middle of the lane without constant correction and even working on slight bends. The 10-inch touchscreen for all the entertainment is easy to navigate and control while the LCD gauge cluster is uncluttered and legible. There’s also this party trick where when you leave the car, pull out your key and you can command the car to either pull or reverse straight into parking spots. Good if you have a woefully tight garage space or for showing off to an envious neighbor. The seats are comfortable but the driver’s seat is positioned too high for my taste. Anyone over 6-feet would balk at the height of the seat, even at the lowest setting. The rear seats received compliments from passengers, though rear headroom is slightly sacrificed for the sloping (read: attractive) roofline. Cruise the city streets, though, with n

trickled down from the superlative Genesis G70 or Veloster N stablemates, but the market for the Sonata is understandably different. The steering lacks feel but it is precise with enough weight to it. The wheel is comfortable in the hands, too. The ride is just barely firm but still well-judged at all speeds to isolate occupants from bumps and cracks in the road and not be intrusive. On the cloverleaf test the Sonata does drift into under steer with lots of roll, but you never feel like you’re losing the front end completely, with a lift of throttle directing it back in line. The transmission shifts smoothly but I found it would upshift too early leaving a stop, which then could necessitate an immediate downshift as you ask for more throttle while pulling away. Such an aggressive shift pattern however improves fuel economy. A small annoyance was the wind noise at freeway speeds. It’s not impeding by all means but there’s just a bit more than there should be. Given the fantastic outside styling some of it might have been at the expense of aerodynamics and where air is routed. I am a fan of the well-rounded

The sticker price for this Limited stands at $33,300, which isn’t terribly cheap for a normally value brand, but does come with literally anything and everything you can think of.

A Camry V6, with its greater levels of performance, can be had for only a little more, but you miss out on the charismatic inside-and-out style and ambience of the Sonata. While no longer the extreme value deal it once was, Sonata doesn’t have to be when it’s this good.

site in Georgetown will be located near the intersection of South and Orleans streets. PG&E will be able to rapidly connect mobile generators to the site, allowing the downtown district to remain energized during PG&E shutdowns. That includes the fire station, gas station, radio station, post office, bank, community center, markets, hotels and restaurants, among other businesses, facilities and community services. The Georgetown temporary microgrid energization zone includes approximately 50 PG&E customers in the general vicinity of Main Street, extending between Harkness Street and Georgetown Road (Highway 193). The microgrid backup generation site in Pollock Pines will be located at the First Baptist Church Of Pollock Pines on the corner of North Street and Pony Express Trail. It will provide their downtown district with electricity in the event of a power shutoff. That includes the fire station, pharmacy, bank, markets, hardware store, electric vehicle charging stations and restaurants, among other businesses, facilities and community services. The Pollock Pines temporary microgrid energization zone includes more than 50 customers along Pony Express Trail,
extending between North Street and Center View Drive. PG&E officials said weather conditions and other operational considerations may prevent the utility from guaranteeing electricity to all customers potentially served by the temporary microgrids if high fire-risk conditions or scenarios arise. Initially construction of the two microgrids was expected to be completed by July but a spokesperson for PG&E said the microgrid in Pollock Pines won’t be finished until the end of this month and the one in Georgetown won’t be done until some time in October. Customers who are within the temporary microgrid energization zone will receive a separate communication from PG&E, notifying them of their inclusion in the microgrid and informing them of how it will operate during a power shutdown. In addition to deploying temporary microgrids, which are primarily designed to keep shared community services energized, PG&E is installing more than 600 sectionalizing devices this year capable of re-directing power and limiting the size of outages.

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.

A new square joins the Quilt Trail Project Reneé Hargrove Special to the Democrat
B
ill Orrock and Bonnie Kelley joined a host of other wonderful, enchanting, boundless amenity, local bed and breakfast establishments about two years ago and it was the right choice for everyone. The Kelley/Orrocks are so pleased to be part of the bed and breakfast community, along with their membership in the El Dorado Farm Trails Association, and now, proud contributors to the Quilt Trail Project. After reading about the Quilt Trail Project in the Mountain Democrat, they immediately thought of Bill’s Aunt Elaine, who is known for her beautiful quilts and sense of fun. So, to honor Aunt Elaine by using one of her quilt designs, Bonnie and Bill chose “Garden House” to represent who they are as a family and as innkeepers as well. The lovely 11-acre park-like setting, with its 3-acre orchard, invites guests to “Enjoy. Explore. Escape.” and as innkeepers, Bill and Bonnie are there to ensure adventure happens. Bonnie and Bill each have qualities that fit their hospitality dreams. Bill’s dad owned a butcher shop in Menlo Park, where Bill worked for a while but eventually, he ran a successful flooring business. Bonnie grew up in Greeley Hill (Mariposa County), working in her family’s local tavern, gas station and laundromat. Her family eventually turned the tavern into a general store business. Both experienced good customer service lessons early on and now as innkeepers, they excel at it. Needing a change of environment, Bonnie wanted to open a bed and breakfast in Half Moon Bay or another state, so she studied up by reading many books on the subject and then attended an intensive innkeeper’s conference in Florida, which solidified the idea. As good things happen in life, the couple did an about-face when the gift of a new grandchild thrilled them and they moved to this region in 2017. As you near Ponderosa Ridge, A Bed & Breakfast, before entering the gate they will see a vivid and charming quilt block “planted” on posts and accented by lanterns; it is the slightly whimsical and welcoming “Garden House.” The bed and breakfast is open year-round, featuring amenities like private bathrooms in each bedroom, an outdoor gazebo, indoor hot tub, wrap-around porch, outdoor paths to explore and an onsite

The affordable rates welcome guests to the Western Room, Garden Room and Rover’s Room (the pet friendly room). Of note, the Garden Room’s bathroom is a work of river-themed art! Under the “Enjoy” portion of a guest’s stay are scrumptious country breakfasts prepared by Bonnie, with Bill as the sous-chef. Savor seasonal upside-down caramel apple pancakes, specialty zucchini red onion frittata and more. Breathe in the aroma of fresh baked goods or bacon. Go exploring and return to enjoy the view or escape to relax in the hot tub. Bill and Bonnie hung their barn quilt block in May of 2020 and were excited to be able to invite everyone to see it, but then COVID-19 hit. In true fashion, Bonnie and Bill figured out different ways of meeting hospitality challenges so a stay will be safe and healthy.
With this promise, “Here at Ponderosa Ridge, A Bed and Breakfast, we aim to provide an unforgettable experience,” it’s no wonder they won the Mountain Democrat Readers’ Choice award in 2019. In chatting with Bonnie about her inn and adding the barn quilt square, she said “We wanted a quilt that represents our family, wrapped up in humor.” As Bill listens to Bonnie, he completes the sentiment by saying, “It’s a blast!” Ponderosa Ridge, A Bed and Breakfast is located at 2360 Union Ridge Road, Placerville. Call (530) 344-9220 or visit ponderosaridgebnb.com.

and Michelle Craske, Ph.D., director of UCLA’s Anxiety and Depression Research Center, plus One Mind’s 2020 Rising Star Award-winners discussing groundbreaking scientific discoveries in the brain health field. Moderated by Eric Nestler, MD, Ph.D., director of the Mount Sinai Friedman Brain Institute, the symposium is free with registration. At 4:30 p.m. donors may enjoy dinner out at one of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse’s 16 locations and participating Mastro’s Steakhouse locations. This Wine & Jazz supper club experience will be held in each restaurant’s private dining room, featuring a multi-course dinner by chef Ariel Fox paired with the wines of Staglin Family Vineyard. The Wine & Jazz supper club can also be experienced as a take-out dinner kit to enjoy at home. At 5 p.m. 10-time Grammy Award-winner Arturo Sandoval and an ensemble band will perform an exclusive streaming web concert. For those who cannot attend the supper club dinners, there is an additional opportunity to enjoy this a one-of-a-kind streamed jazz concert performance from home, exclusively for all 26th Music Festival for Brain Health donors. “While we can’t gather together on the same scale
that we have over the past 25 years, we can stay connected, learn about the latest in brain health research and enjoy great wine, food and music together virtually this year,” said festival co-founder Garen Staglin. “Brain health remains an even more important and critical issue in the stressful times created by COVID-19. We are committed, with your generosity and support, to continue the dialog, facilitate partnerships and raise money and awareness. Together we will find the causes and cures for brain illness.” Admission to the symposium-only is free with prior registration.

faces light up when they see these cool cars. Someone told me they had a car just like one they saw in today’s parade.” The El Dorado Early Ford V8 Car Club is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles designed and built by the Ford Motor Company, 1932-53. The Hangtown A’s is a club of likeminded members dedicated to the preservation, restoration and driving of Henry Ford’s venerable Model A. “Who doesn’t love an old car? The people who came had a lot of pleasure showing off their cars to us and we are people of the era of their vehicles,” shared Bob Addison, an Eskaton Village resident. “A ‘41 Plymouth reminded me of the car my parents had when I was born and others reminded me of cars that I dreamed of owning those days,” he continued. “It brought a lot of joy and positivity to us to see them today. It was a real treat to see the beautifully restored examples of the day. It was for all of us.” “I am really thankful they came today because I missed the last car parade we had,” said resident Virginia Valladon. “It was exciting to be outside today. The cars were beautiful.”
