O
n Sept. 17, 1787, America’s founding fathers signed a revolutionary document that — 233 years later — endures as the bedrock of our democracy and a beacon of freedom around the world. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by its framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, the U.S. Constitution is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental

Inquiry ordered in death of man in Patriot Day brings 9/11 remembrance to heart of town ‘mental distress’ Kevin Christensen Dawn Hodson Staff writer
Staff writer
An investigation in the death of a combative patient is under way. On Saturday, shortly before 9 p.m., three El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies were dispatched to a residence on Rainbow Ridge Road in Placerville to assist paramedics who were attempting to aid a man “in obvious medical and mental distress,” according to a news release from the Sheriff ’s Office. Odie Prettyman, 49, of Placerville was told by deputies he “was going to have to go to the hospital because of his medical and mental state,” states the release, but Prettyman refused to be transported by medics. n

he community gathered at the Bell Tower on Main Street in downtown Placerville Friday night to honor law enforcement, first responders and those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon as well as flight 93. Sept. 11, also known as Patriot Day, marked 19 years since the infamous attacks by the Islamic terrorist organization known as al Qaeda. On that tragic day, 2,997 lives were lost with more than 25,000 injuries reported. The evening’s event brought out dozens carrying signs with patriotic messages and waving American flags. There were emotional speeches and remembrances of

Georgetown Fire Chief Glenn Brown said, “We will have this ceremony every year on 9/11 as long as I am chief. Georgetown will never forget.”

Lawrence John Franklin Miller
Jan. 15, 1935-Aug. 31, 2020
Our dad was quite a guy for sure. A very hard working man and a carpenter by trade for over 60 years. He was a good father taking care of us through our growing up years and always there for any of us after we grew up whenever we needed him. His main and special hobby starting when he was about 25-years-old was hunting with hounds, he hunter bear, mountain lion, raccoon and bobcat with all of his great hound dogs for over 50 years. He hunted all of the six western states mostly in California and also had some of the best field trail and water race dogs around. That was just who he was, no matter what he does it was always done to the very best anyone could do. John leaves our dear mom Marlene Carver, who they divorced in the 80s and she will turn 84-yearsold Sept. 30. Also survived by Gail Schmidt and her husband Phil from Georgia; Larry Miller and his wife Merry Miller from Camino; Lynn Cavin from Montana; Fred Miller from Pollock Pines and Bob Miller also from Pollock Pines. He also had two deceased wives later in life; Bessie Miller and Nancy Miller. We all know now he is in his peaceful and happy hunting grounds in the sky. All of our love and respect dad, your grateful family.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
MALOCCLUSIONS Malocclusions of the teeth refers to several types of common dental issues involving the alignment of teeth and bite. A malocclusion is usually an inherited condition, but it can also be caused by habits including poor dental care, thumb sucking, and prolonged bottle feeding. One type of malocclusion is overcrowding, which causes teeth to grow in crookedly and overlap one another. Sometimes too much space exists between teeth, resulting in problems with chewing, bad breath, and bleeding gums. Over, under, and open bites also fall under the malocclusion umbrella. Impacted teeth (teeth that are unable to grow from the gum
properly) and missing teeth are also sometimes referred to as malocclusions. Don’t let dental abnormalities keep you from smiling, chewing, talking, and just generally enjoying life. There are many strategies available today to solve the problems caused by less than lovely teeth. We’ll be happy to discuss which ones would be best for your circumstances. For compassionate dental care, including cosmetic dentistry, complete restorations, and regular cleanings, our primary goal is to treat our patients with the best, most up-to-date, gentle dentistry possible. P.S. Untreated malocclusions can affect one’s oral and digestive health.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Diamond Springs resident Scott Treadway shared this photo, captured with a game camera, of a black bear rummaging through trash bins outside of his home Sept. 11. The bear is believed to be frequenting the Fowler Lane and Crestview Drive area, not far from central Diamond Springs. Treadway, who has lived in the area some 30 years, said a bear sighting isn’t common. Considering the 64-gallon trash can is well over 6 feet tall Treadway estimates the bear to easily weigh about 450 pounds.
Man gets jail time in 2019 fatal crash Pat Lakey Staff writer A 49-year-old Amador County man whose vehicle traveled into the opposite lane on Highway 49 about a year ago, colliding with another vehicle whose driver was killed in the crash, was sentenced last week to serve 60 days in El Dorado County Jail. No alcohol or drugs were suspected of being involved in the fatality, according to a report from the county Probation Department, but the California Highway Patrol report on the incident notes excessive speed likely occurred. Loren Dwight Fine, of Fiddletown, will serve the 60 days on weekends for the misdemeanor conviction, stemming from the death of Peggie Suzanne Agnew Thorne, 59, of Ione in Amador County. Thorne was declared deceased at the scene of the June 11, 2019, collision, which occurred a halfmile north of the El DoradoAmador county line. Thorne’s husband, Randy Thorne, told the probation officer who composed a pre-sentencing report that he thinks the crash that killed his wife “was an accident.” “He does not have any animosity toward the defendant …” states the report.
Randy Thorne also declined to seek monetary restitution from defendant Fine, according to the Probation Department report, Fine states in his own written account of the fatal, late afternoon incident that he was “traveling below the speed limit” in a 1996 Ford when a Honda suddenly stopped in front of Fine’s vehicle. He said he tried to stop but ended up clipping the Honda, then veering into the opposite lane where victim Thorne was driving a 2009 Toyota. Fine states that he doesn’t recall causing his vehicle to go into the opposite lane, feeling that clipping the Honda forced him to cross the doubleyellow lines. In his submitted statement, Fine says, “I cannot even explain how terrible I feel about the accident. My heart hurts for the family. I will never get over it.” One Thorne family member who delivered a victim impact statement in Placerville’s Superior Court Dept. 7 just before Fine was sentenced Friday, Sept. 11, told the defendant that “pure negligence” and “failure to use proper or reasonable care” led to the fatal incident. “I would like to say to you, Mr. Fine — slow down. Maybe another family won’t go through this.”
That speaker, whose identity was not immediately available, added that she hopes Fine serves some time in jail “so that your loved ones will know” how it feels to lose someone important to them. Fine reportedly supports two young children and states that jail time would negatively impact his means of providing for them. Judge Mark Ralphs followed the recommendation in the probation report and placed Fine on three years probation and ordered him to serve 60 days in jail, with credit for one day already behind bars. “The balance will be served on weekends,” said the judge, explaining that in his estimation that will give Fine a longer period of time to contemplate his crime. Ralphs noted it would amount “to the same actual days in custody” but it “would lengthen the period of time.” “The court feels that that is a greater reminder,” said Ralphs. “This is a tragic situation,” the judge continued. “No matter what the court does, it can’t make the (Thorne) family whole again. The court is simply trying to do the best we can.” Addressing Fine, Judge Ralphs added, “I’m sure this is something you’ll think about the rest of your life.”
Preliminary data showed 52 instances of weather-related damage and hazards after last week's red-flag winds forced a PG&E public safety power shutoff for nearly 172,000 of the utility's customers across 22 counties. Examples included downed lines and vegetation on power lines, according to reports from PG&E officials. In which counties that weather-related damage was found was not
available as of press time. The power shutoff was initiated late Monday, Sept. 7, with power returning to customers Wednesday morning into Friday. Electricity was restored first to customers in areas where PG&E crews found no damage or hazards to electrical equipment. As repairs were made to equipment damaged by wind, power was eventually restored to essentially all customers who could receive service, states PG&E officials Counties affected

California Matters
Legislature leaves much undone
W
hen the Legislature reconvened in January the stage was seemingly set for a year of sweeping action on California’s most vexing political issues such as a chronic housing shortage, homelessness and an embarrassingly DAN WALTERS high poverty rate. Democrats enjoyed overwhelming majorities in both legislative houses, the Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, was fond of pursuing “big hairy, audacious goals” in contrast with cautious predecessor Jerry Brown and the state’s roaring economy was pouring billions of extra dollars into the state treasury. However, the most telling fact about the 2020 legislative session, which drew to a fitful close last month, is the long list of issues that either didn’t get addressed or received just token attention, including those stemming from more recent traumatic events. The COVID-19 pandemic, the deep economic recession it spawned, terribly destructive wildfires and the furor over the suffocation death of a Black man, George Floyd, with a Minneapolis policeman’s knee on his neck changed the political narrative in mid-session. However, the Legislature didn’t respond to them any more satisfactorily than it did to older issues. After COVID-19 erupted in March, the Legislature went on a two-month hiatus, content to allow Newsom to manage things under emergency decrees. But even after lawmakers returned to Sacramento they fell into a defensive mode, adopting stopgap measures such as a debt-heavy state budget in June and a temporary, partial renter relief bill on the last night. Bolder moves were proposed, such as a $100 billion economic stimulus package, raising income taxes on the wealthiest Californians, imposing a tax on their wealth, overhauling the economics of rental housing and home ownership, ending single-family zoning to allow more multi-family housing and stripping violent cops of their legal status. Some were justified, such as taking away the certification of miscreant cops, and some were outlandish and unworkable, such as a wealth tax. But all were shunted aside as legislative leaders — and Newsom — opted for risk-avoidance and hope that Democrat Joe Biden will unseat Republican President Donald Trump in November and then provide California with many billions of dollars to buy its way out of difficulty. That hope was particularly evident in the halfa-loaf rent relief bill passed in the last minutes of the session and immediately signed by Newsom. It protects tenants who attest that they lost income due to COVID-19’s economic shutdown from eviction, as long as they pay at least 25% of their rent.

Letters to the Editor Thank you EID EDITOR: rom someone who benefits every day from living next to the newly updated Forebay Reservoir and appreciates the votes to upgrade the Main Ditch, converting 3 miles of open-water ditch within the backyards of neighborhoods to a closed piping system is something the greater communities will benefit from. I do not find the resistance group Save the Canal’s (STC) arguments not to go forward with this project compelling. Many of the facts and concerns they profess are not reality but come from emotional propaganda designed to gain public support. STC said the ditch is a fire break? Maybe it could be a water source for those residents living along the canal or even a possible fire line, but saying it is a fire break is an exaggeration. STC said it was used during the King Fire to fight the fire. The King Fire never burned up to Forebay Road let alone onto Blair Road. In no place within the 3 miles of the Main Ditch was this canal used to fight the King Fire. If it was used further up the canal, then they are purposely being misleading. STC said the trees would die due to the lack of water. Their septic systems will provide more than enough water for the trees. Has anyone up here noticed a lack of tree from not enough water? The new water pipe will deliver clearer safe drinking water to the treatment plant. This project does bring a great value to the others who live in the area due to the fire hydrants EID is installing. This continuing failed STC lawsuit has only greatly raised the cost of this project, as now the pipe will be installed under Blair Road. This new location will greatly impact the access for homeowners during construction. When the project was located under of the canal EID would have maintained it and we all could still use it as a walking path. I see those days numbered from those homeowners who never wanted the public walking behind their yards. Those signs have been posted for longer than this fight. EID will withdraw from their easement rights and STC folks will be left with a mosquito-breeding ditch. The vote was tight, so I really thank those board members who supported this project.

Main Ditch conversion is long overdue EDITOR: allelujah, El Dorado Irrigation District has finally awarded a contract to replace the Upper Main Ditch with pipes. Delivering water through ditches may have been good enough for great-grandpa, but modern times demand modern technology, especially for something as vital as drinking water. Water that flows in the Main Ditch is treated and then serves most of EID’s customers between Pollock Pines and El Dorado Hills. Before it reaches the treatment plant, the open, earthen ditch winds past houses, businesses and lonely country roads. How much erosion, silty storm runoff, dirty road drainage and foul septic system seepage reaches the water on its way to the treatment plant? What is that guy dumping from his pickup? How much garbage and waste and how many deer, skunk or other carcasses do EID workers remove from the ditch each year? These are not rhetorical questions — every one of these things has happened in recent years. Maybe great-grandpa didn’t mind that stuff, but we live in the 21st century. We expect better. EID treats our drinking water to meet stringent health standards, 24/7/365. The cleaner the water arrives at the treatment plant, the less time, chemicals and electricity (i.e., money) EID spends on treatment. Not to mention that the pipes will eliminate the ditch’s massive water leakage and evaporation — a feature that’s won EID millions of grant dollars for this project. The project’s noisy opponents are mostly folks who like having a backyard or neighborhood “creek.” I get it — I wish the old EID ditch in my backyard still carried water too. But EID’s job is to provide safe drinking water to over 100,000 people, not underwrite the lifestyles of a lucky few. This project has been needed for decades. Kudos to EID Directors George Osborne, Michael Raffety and Pat Dwyer for prioritizing our community’s public health and safety. TOM CUMPSTON Placerville

generation, oblivious to history, natural law, common sense, morality and the Constitution and likely the most unchurched. A generation believing themselves entitled to someone else’s wealth. The most privileged residents of Earth who have never themselves fought for their own freedom yet are now poised to lose what others died to give them — perhaps the most ungrateful and ignorant people ever. They argue for such things as a Green New Deal, which nullifies airplanes, automobiles and tractors; no borders, which protects us from invading masses; and reparations, which makes the present generation pay money to descendants of those offended 160 years ago. They oppose self-defense by opposing the 2nd Amendment while simultaneously supporting defunding of police which, for those that can still think means no police, which together means no protection for the most vulnerable in society. These would destroy America. The greatest irony of all human history is that once man, with God’s help, finally discovered the formula for liberty for all, the Constitution, a small portion of this privileged class, university intellectuals and the superrich like George Soros, using
millennials and students as useful idiots, seek to destroy it for the rest of humanity, perhaps forever. Following the Civil War ending slavery, America was and is today probably the least racist society ever created and was so prior to the Obama administration. If indeed America is racist, a black man (Obama) never could have become president and a black woman (Kamala Harris) never nominated vice president by a major political party, if there were no hope that her nomination would lead to the majority of Americans voting for her. This group of history and cultural illiterates have no problem voting by violence. In previous months major Democrat-led cities have allowed, even encouraged, acts of anarchy, robbery, pillage, rape and violence against police and small businesses. Antifa and Black Lives Matter easily infiltrated the demonstrations of sincere folks naively thinking themselves advancing social justice and the result was/is buildings and cars ablaze and injured law enforcement officers and citizens. Media outlets on the left refuse to cover such, leaving the few on the right to show victims kicked in the head,

Repeatedly, as legislators debated the bill, they expressed hope that a Biden administration would offer new cash relief to the unemployed, allowing them to fully pay their rents. Newsom called it “just a bridge to a more permanent solution once the federal government finally recognizes its role in stabilizing the housing market.” What happens if Biden loses or a newly re-elected Trump doesn’t come through? There is no Plan B on the table. Nor is there any Plan B for a state budget leaking red ink, for a housing shortage that pandemic has worsened, for supporting three million unemployed workers and their families, for armoring California

against wildfires or, finally, for stopping the spread of COVID-19 if Newsom’s latest management scheme fails. The most sobering revelation of this annus horribilis of 2020 is that California is really not the globally powerful, semi-independent nation-state that Newson had been fond of boasting. When disaster struck California its economic and political limitations were laid bare, compelling Newsom and other politicians to beg Washington for help. And they still are.

For users of Serrano neighborhood’s notoriously spotty to nonexistent cell reception, some relief may be imminent. A new tower is proposed for installation at Oak Ridge High School. El Dorado Union High School District, Verizon Wireless and Epic Wireless Group have submitted a request for a conditional use permit to allow the construction and operation of an 85-foot telecommunications facility collocated on an Oak Ridge football stadium light pole. The plan calls for the two current light poles to be removed and replaced while retaining all stadium lights and speakers on the poles. Nine additional Verizon Wireless antennas will be mounted on one of the poles. “This pole will dramatically improve Verizon coverage in the area as well as improve lighting with the installation of two new LED football field lights on east side of stadium,” insisted El Dorado Union High School District Superintendent Ron Carruth. “This will also help improve visibility for events as the current poles are in front of visitor bleachers. Anyone who has Verizon realizes this is a challenging area for cellular reception.” Carruth explained that the antennas
will look identical to a corresponding pole on the opposite side of the stadium outfitted with only lights. “The improvement of the lighting to match the other side will greatly balance and enhance the lighting,” he said. The permit application states the site will “improve coverage of the nearby schools, parks and surrounding residential area, which will also enhance safety in times of emergencies.” Back up batteries are included in the proposal allowing the facility to run for several hours in the event of power loss. Evaluation of a wireless site location was begun by Epic Wireless Group at the behest of Verizon Wireless three years ago to serve the coverage gap in the residential area centered around Silva Valley Parkway and Harvard Way. A total of five sites were investigated, including the water tanks on the hills just east of Oak Ridge, the PG&E tower at Breese Circle, the Serrano golf course and one other privately owned parcel. Ultimately, officials decided the football stadium presented the least intrusive site while also adequately meeting coverage and capacity goals. If approved, the project is anticipated for completion by summer 2021.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today will test your endurance, and if you persist, you will pocket a prize, tiny in comparison with the other takeaway, which is the enormous satisfaction that comes from knowing you can count on yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll deal in a different culture, not having to do with regions but with a professional setting or a social group. It is possible to remain true to your core and still let some of the influence rub off on you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are some things that cannot be accomplished with effort. In fact, the more effort you put into them, the worse they’ll turn out. To know if this is the case, pull away; do nothing; and watch for improvement. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give a thought to the environment you’ll be operating within. The easier you make it for yourself, the better you can focus on the details that will make your work transcendent from the usual fare. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The desire for freedom is a trap. Whatever you choose, it comes with responsibility. The real freedom is loving your choice so much you don’t mind being trapped by it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Accept your feelings, one and all, especially ones that might make you weak, vulnerable or unattractive. Approve them, because it’s the only chance you have at steering those emotions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While it would be wrong to impose your care, you’ll be dealing with people who won’t easily accept what they need. Ask whether you can help. They’ll probably say no the first time. Wait a bit and ask again later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your appreciation of the beauty around you is a kind of meditation now, especially when you can take it privately, without having to express with language what it means to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In matters of trust, someone has to lead, and it will probably be you. You’ll give your trust, and the other person will behave in a trustworthy way. When you withdraw your trust, the other person will do the same. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Others won’t see the truth of the situation until you point it out. Of course, what you’ll point out is actually your truth, not the truth, which is still mysterious. Your truth is a start. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Follow your natural instinct to assess who gets what and why. In the animal world, territorial knowledge is a matter of life and death. For you, it will be a smart and lucrative thing to figure out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Jealous people have been known to do terrible things. Avoid attracting envy. Keep your cards close to the vest. Today, the only one who needs to know about your assets and accomplishments is you.

aerial assets to fight the fire. Wickham noted the fire has moved toward unburned forest in the area of the 2014 King Fire burn scar in the Rubicon River drainage. That area has standing dead trees, know as snags, that present a hazard due to the snags either falling on firefighters or falling and starting new hot spots. Complicating getting a handle on the fire is that its head is in a steep area and hard to get to. “Our primary objective is for no one to get hurt,” Wickham emphasized. Smoke from other fires to the south continue to shade out the fire, keeping fuel temps down. On Tuesday temperatures were expected to be in the 80s with humidity in the teens. Winds were expected to be less than 20 mph. More of same for is expected for the next few days with a slight chance of rain on Thursday. Crews have made progress making containment lines on the eastern side to secure the Airport Flat area. Contingency lines have been created around Little Dear Creek to the fire’s north. Presently crews are running a hose near the South Fork of the Rubicon River in the event they need to ignite a fire line to prevent flames from moving further south. Firefighters are working with Sierra Pacific Industries staff to
minimize the chance a fire will start on nearby SPI property as that area hasn’t seen fire for decades. Although evacuation orders are no longer in place, the Eldorado National Forest closure has been extended through Sept. 21 as dry conditions on the forest heighten fire risk and firefighting resources are stretched over more than two dozen fires burning across the state. Helping out with fighting the Fork Fire is the Southwest Area Incident Management Team 4 that has taken up residence at Georgetown School. Black Oak Mine Unified School District staff say this is the second time the school has hosted an incident command post and fire camp. Due to the scope of wildfires in the west the management team was called to help. It is an interagency team comprised of over 256 individuals from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and South Dakota working under Incident Commander Carl Schwope. They began arriving Sept. 11. The team is managing the Fork Fire from the school and from Sunset Campground near Union Valley Reservoir. On Sept. 13 members of the California Conservation Corps joined the team at Georgetown School as resources continue to arrive to fight the blaze.

victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Sept. 11, 2001, terroritst attacks are the deadliest in human history and single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively, according to reports. For some this year’s Patriot Day took on more significance in light of recent social justice movements calling for police reforms and thousands of firefighters battling wildfires burning record acreage across the West Coast. “I feel like police are under attack,” said Brianna Maxwell of Placerville, whose husband is in the Army. “Every organization has bad apples. We should still support law enforcement and firefighters for what they do and their sacrifice by putting their lives on the line. I think today carries more weight with everything going on.”

On Sept. 11 four passenger airliners departing from airports in the northeastern United States and bound for California were hijacked by 19 al Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes crashed into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan. Within one hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete collapse of other buildings at the complex, including a 47-story tower. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense in Arlington, Va., leading to a partial collapse of the building’s west side. The fourth plane was initially flown toward Washington, D.C. but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township, Penn., after passengers thwarted the hijackers.

Patriot Day
Sept. 17 is recognized as Constitution Day, a federal observance which celebrates the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. Students and educators in Iowa schools may have been among the first to mark the holiday in 1911, but the law establishing the present holiday was created with the passage of an amendment by West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd to the omnibus spending bill of 2004. Here’s some fun facts to help you celebrate the U.S. Constitution: • Creating the U.S. Constitution took almost four months. The Constitutional Convention began May 25, 1787, and lasted until the day the finished document was signed Sept. 17, 1787. • The U.S. Constitution is the oldest and shortest written constitution of any national government in the world. • There are 4,543 words in the original, unamended Constitution, including the signatures. • The Constitution was penned by Jacob Shallus, a Pennsylvania general assembly clerk, for $30 ($830 today). • The oldest person to sign the Constitution was Benjamin Franklin at 81. The youngest was Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey, 26. • When the Constitution was signed the U.S. population was 4 million. Philadelphia was the nation’s largest city, with 40,000 inhabitants. • Over 11,000 amendments have been introduced in Congress, but only 33 have gone to the states to be ratified, and 27 have actually become amendments to the Constitution. Facts are sourced from the National Constitution Center and constitutionfacts.com. The first 10 amendments are known as the Bill of Rights: Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Amendment III No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for

A bill to make Sept. 11 a national day of mourning was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives Oct. 25, 2001 by Rep. Vito Fossella (R-NY) with 22 co-sponsors, resulting in a display of unity among Republicans and Democrats who came to a joint resolution Dec. 18, 2001, designating Sept. 11 as Patriot Day. On Sept. 4, 2002, former President George W. Bush officially proclaimed the first Patriot Day saying, “On this first observance of Patriot Day, we remember and honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. We will not forget the
events of that terrible morning nor will we forget how Americans responded in New York City, at the Pentagon and in the skies over Pennsylvania — with heroism and selflessness; with compassion and courage; and with prayer and hope.” The resolution calls for the president of the United States to issue a yearly proclamation requesting that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff. Americans are requested to honor the dead with a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time — the time the first airplane struck the World Trade Center.

should meet the daily needs of transit-dependent riders and employees, make it easier for recreational travelers to use transit and assure visitors they can get around without their cars. The plan focuses on transit, technology, trails and communities and corridors. Transit: Adding services to provide 15-minute service between town centers and recreation destinations, 30-to 60-minute service between neighborhoods and town centers and interregional service for commuters and visitors from neighboring regions. Technology: Connecting people with information about the many ways to travel around the region, providing better data and analysis and ensuring charging facilities are available for electric vehicles. Trails: Increasing trips by foot and bike by providing through walking and biking routes. Communities and corridors: Bringing plan elements together with a corridor planning framework connecting workers to jobs, visitors to recreation and residents to town centers, housing and recreation. The update has been developed with significant public input and consultation. A total of 8,500 individuals helped inform the development of the plan. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic the agency successfully reached more than 2,000 people remotely through online workshops. Engagement also came from bi-state consultation on transportation for the region, a partnership formed by the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the California Natural Resources Agency. The consultation represents a diverse group of stakeholders that work together to strengthen public‐private partnerships and identify funding to implement transformative projects at Tahoe, according to TRPA. Public hearings will be held at the end of September and beginning of October. The plan will be considered for adoption by the agency governing boards in November. Track the plan at trpa.org/rtp.

First responders take a break during the Bridges Retreat at Windows to My Soul’s ranch in Somerset, where they learned how to deal with the trauma they experience due to their jobs.
Retreat aims to soothe first responders’ souls Jana Rossi Staff writer
F
irst responders are special individuals whose constant selfsacrifice and putting others before themselves can take a toll on their lives. Both personal and professional sides can suffer, leading to depression, anger and anxiety. “First responders create barriers in relationships to protect themselves,” explained Jill Gustafson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Enter Windows to My Soul, a nonprofit organization that offers a respite to those suffering from emotional trauma by focusing on the mental health of individuals, helping them process and work through the emotional stress their high-risk jobs create. This year, Gustafson, in partnership with Windows To My Soul is offering a Bridges Retreat specifically created for first responders. “This was a great experience that will follow me forever, big and small,” noted participant and fire Capt. John Farrell. “After reflection, it was incredibly powerful
to be surrounded by caring, unselfish people whose entire intent was to help, not fix. The amazing compassion was evident when one would see clinicians and equestrians with tears in their eyes — tears not of sadness, tears of connectivity and love. Farrell has worked in the fire service for 33 years and said he “denied myself the time to reflect and relax.” “I had reservations to participate mostly in part of the fire service culture of ‘suck it up,’” he explained. “This wasn’t sitting around a campfire and telling stories and having clinicians/psychologists encouraging one to spill your guts. This was completely different .... It has helped me understand how the brain works and how we process experiences. How to better understand, not why we feel what we feel, but how we can independently/personally alter/change how our brains work. How they do it is impossible to describe.” Held in picturesque Pleasant Valley at Pleasant Valley Farms, participants take part in specific activities designed to help them deal with the trauma first responders carry with them as a byproduct of their high-stress work environment.
Gustafson, the spouse of a retired fire captain, specializes in a technique called brainspotting — an especially effective process used to access trauma held in the subcortical part of the brain by focusing on the individual’s visual field, helping individuals process traumatic experiences in a shortened amount of time. In addition, the retreat offers traumafocused yoga, meditation, equine therapy, counseling and more. Participants choose to attend over a three- or five-day period. “When I was originally invited to attend the Bridges Retreat, I didn’t think I deserved to be here,” a participant who works in law enforcement shared. “As a helper I immediately thought of everyone else who deserved to be here more than me. I thought of everyone who ‘needed’ it more than I did. I looked at attending the retreat as a training opportunity. By Day 2 of the Bridges Retreat I not only knew that I deserved to be there, but that I needed to be there .... For the first time I was able to focus on me, on my wants, needs and desires at work and at home. “The Bridges Retreat team is exactly that n

El Dorado Hills Chamber hosts Brewfest in a Box Get your brew to go El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce News release
I
n response to the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for events, the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce announces a pivoted second annual El Dorado Hills Brewfest, recreated to Brewfest in a Box Oct. 21-23. The elements of an in-person event will now be in a “party box” with six craft and specialized beers, snacks and VIP swag for a do-it-yourself tasting kit for four. Tickets are $45 and limited to 250 boxes. Tickets can be purchased at eldoradohillscacoc.wliinc27. com/events/Brewfest-in-aBox-2757/details.
“We are grateful for the support from our sponsors, chamber members, volunteers and community-at-large to continue to bring innovative programming to the greater El Dorado Hills region,” said Debbie Manning, president and CEO of the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce. Various sponsorship opportunities are available and start at $150. Brewfest in a Box supports programs of the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit 501(c)(6) organization.

The Center celebrates 20 years with a virtual gala The Center for the Arts News release The Center for the Arts will celebrate its 20th Anniversary with Gin & Jazz, a Virtual Gala. Their annual gala is a benefit for the nonprofit performing arts organization and their biggest fundraiser of the year. The online auction supports the expansion of their arts education offerings and the improvement of their broadcasting capabilities. Community partners have come together to donate auction items and to help the Center provide VIP ticket buyers with dinner and gift bags that will be available for curbside pickup the day of the event. Anyone can attend with a paywhat-you-can community ticket to participate in the auctions, the virtual red carpet and the Zoom dance party featuring music from the ultimate dance band, Pop Rocks. Gin & Jazz presents a unique opportunity to dress up, have fun and support the arts. The online experience is sure to be different than the in-person galas of the past, but after having success with their recent annual meeting that took place via Zoom, the team at the Center is confident that guests will appreciate the community spirit and enjoy the interactive elements. Everyone is encouraged to dress up and join the simultaneous Zoom meeting for their chance to show off their red carpet looks, share their excitement during the live auction and be featured in the online dance party during the Pop Rocks performance. While they had hoped to host guests in their brand-new state-of-the-art theater, they are pivoting with pride as they invite the entire community to experience the celebration online as they demonstrate the very broadcast capabilities they are developing. “It’s really a gift that as we celebrate 20 years, we are pushed to adopt new tools to keep us moving forward, stay true to our mission, and to honor
our commitments. Even through a pandemic we are able to bring art, culture and education to our community,” said marketing manager Melissa Clark. “That’s what it’s all about, and that’s what we are both celebrating and working hard to keep alive.” The Youth Arts Education programs serve over 7,500 students annually and now more than ever local youth need access to adapted creative learning experiences. However, without ticket sales from in-person events, it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain these important programs. Last year’s Cirque au Centre raised a record setting $136,000 for the Center and its cultural and educational programming. They’ve brought in auctioneer Greg Quiroga to help them meet this year’s fundraising goals in hopes of securing another year of youth arts and community programming. The Center for the Arts celebrates 20 years with their first-ever virtual gala. Friday, Sept. 18, from 6-8 p.m. guests will enjoy the broadcasted musical performances by Le Jazz Hot and Pop Rocks and the online auction with auctioneer Greg Quiroga. VIP tickets include dinner and a gift bag, donation-based community tickets are also available. Visit thecenterforthearts.org or call (530) 274-8384 for tickets and information. Since 2000, The Center for the Arts, a nonprofit arts organization, has grown into a leading presenter of music, dance, theater, comedy, literary and visual art and family programming offering more than 150 events per year from its location in downtown Grass Valley. The Center recently completed a major renovation of its multiuse 21,000-square-foot facility in downtown Grass Valley making it a premier performing arts destination. The venue includes the main stage which accommodates up to 492 guests in configurable theater seats, up to 700 patrons for dance shows, and a 90-seat studio theater.

Labor and delivery nurse honored at Barton Birthing Center Jenna Palacio Barton Health
L
abor and Delivery nurse, Rayanne Marshall, RN, BSN, RNC-OB, at Barton Memorial Hospital’s Family Birthing Center, has received international recognition with the international DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Marshall was nominated for her dedication and compassion shown to a mother delivering her baby, making her feel comfortable and well-cared for, even when tensions were high. “The day of my C-section and after the procedure [Marshall] explained things clearly, and made a stressful time pleasant and much less traumatizing,” the patient shared. “My newborn struggled in his first few hours, and Rayanne was there every step of the way with me to answer questions and make my baby comfortable, while helping nurse him back to health. I’m grateful to have her during a difficult situation. You can tell she loves her job and where she works.” Marshall joined Barton Health in 2018. She started her career in caring for others as a social worker. Marshall felt her goal to help people could be further fulfilled, and decided to go back to school for nursing. Her first position in the field was in a Labor and Delivery unit at a military base, where she fell in love with
helping mothers and babies before, during and after delivery. Marshall shares she enjoys the collaborative environment at Barton, working in labor and delivery and caring for patients across all aspects of this medical field. “Nursing can be a challenging profession, so it’s important to be driven to want to make the world a better place and be of service to others,” Marshall said. “I am extremely honored to receive this award. This is something that I’ll always cherish and it’s a reminder how rewarding my work in labor and delivery is.” Marshall enjoys spending time with her family and taking her two young daughters camping in her motorhome. She stays mentally and physically active as well; reading and running when not providing exceptional care to mothers and babies at Barton’s Family Birthing Center. The DAISY Award® is a system of recognition across the world, present in over 4,500 health care and nursing facilities. Barton began the initiative in 2019 as a way for patients and their loved ones to thank their nurses and express gratitude by nominating them for a DAISY Award®. Barton Health encourages the community to learn more and nominate a nurse for a DAISY Award by visiting bartonhealth.org/daisy.

Persons who contest the validity of the matter described below and in the complaint will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. /// DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE: The California Department of Water Resources (Department) operates facilities which store, transport and deliver water to urban and agricultural water agencies throughout the State. Since 1960, the Department has approved, planned and constructed a system of water storage and transportation and power generation facilities (the Project). Currently, Project water is conveyed across the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta through the natural channels of the Delta formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, as those channels have been modified over the past 150 years. In recent years, the Department has undertaken to develop a comprehensive plan for the effective delivery of Project water across the Delta. The Department is currently undertaking environmental review and related planning and design activities regarding potential new Delta conveyance facilities. The facilities under review would transport water from new intake points on the Sacramento River at the northern edge of the Delta through an underground tunnel running below the natural waterways of the Delta to export facilities at the southern edge of the Delta. Separately, the Department has established a proposed revenue bond financing to finance the cost and expense of the environmental review, planning, engineering and design, and if and when appropriate, the acquisition and construction of Delta water conveyance facilities. On August 6, 2020, the Department adopted bond resolutions authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for those purposes. Under the bond resolutions, bonds for construction cannot be issued unless specific conditions precedent are satisfied, which include regulatory and statutory requirements regarding the physical and environmental aspects of approving, constructing, and operating Delta conveyance facilities. On August 6, 2020, the Department filed a validation action to confirm the legal validity of the Department’s proposed bond financing. A validation action is a judicial proceeding in which a governmental agency, like the Department, can confirm the validity of a proposed financial transaction before it commits to or undertakes the transaction. The Department’s validation complaint, the bond resolutions, and a copy of this Summons are available on the Department’s internet website at: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/StateWater-Project/Delta-Conveyance/PublicInformation. YOU MAY SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY IN ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THE COMPLAINT OR THIS SUMMONS.
