Firefighters edge Caldor as weather flips Mountain Democrat staff Firefighters saw high winds and light precipitation Tuesday night, measuring about one-tenth of an inch over the Caldor Fire. The weather front also brought cooler temperatures and higher humidity. Officials leading the firefight say the combination of cooler temperatures, higher humidity and light winds will provide a window of reduced fire activity that allows for “aggressive” mop up in and around the fire perimeter. High winds Monday into Tuesday morning weren’t as favorable for fire crews. Those high winds grounded rotor wing operations for much of Monday, according to California Interagency Incident Management Team 12 Operations Section Chief Al Ward. Fixed-wing aircraft were allowed to operate as they are less affected by wind. On the ground Ward reported firefighters are seeing heat near containment lines in the Echo Lakes area. He said crews are “tactically patrolling” and working to control interior flare-ups but “nothing has crossed the line.” Firefighters’ top priority continues to be strengthening containment lines in the area north and west of Caples Lake, west of Silver Lake and in Desolation Wilderness. Near Silver Lake containment lines are coming together. “We are starting to gain ground on that (area),” Ward explained while pointing to containment lines northwest of Silver Lake on a large map. Ward said there is still a pocket of hand line on that stretch of Caldor’s perimeter that “continues to be stubborn and give (firefighters) heat near the line.” “All of our lines (were) being challenged by the wind but (we) are meeting that challenge,” he added. Fire crews are also seeing an interior island of active fire where the 2019 Caples Fire burned in the Caples Creek area north of Highway 88. On the uncontained perimeter north of Lake Margaret firefighters are going “deeper and deeper to secure that active edge,” Ward said, adding that firefighting activity was curtailed there Monday due to high winds and fire-weakened trees that pose a threat to firefighters. A new fire has sparked to the north of the Caldor Fire between Wright’s Lake and Desolation Wilderness. On Monday air attack was seeing “minimal growth” there, according to Ward. “Prior to the wind increasing to the point where we could not work (helicopters) we did put bucket drops on that fire,” Ward said. On Saturday some Caldor crews were diverted to assist with a 7-acre blaze off 11 Pines Road near the Rubicon River on the 2014 King Fire burn scar. Fire officials reported 100% containment of that fire Monday. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Team 12 Incident Commander Michael Nobles reported that Team 13, led by Incident Commander Michael Wakowski, will take over the Caldor firefight Wednesday. The Caldor Fire, which first sparked Aug. 14 near Omo Ranch, has burned 221,774 acres as of press time Tuesday. Containment has held at 76% since Sept. 20, according to U.S. Forest Service data.

Barbara B. Jermstad
Louis Wellman Danker
At 94 years of age, Barbara Jermstad lived a long and prosperous life. A woman of devout Catholic faith, Barbara was a mother of four children; Kathy, Ronald Jr., Thomas and David; a grandmother of five; Meredith, Jaime, Meghan, Kyle and Hannah; and a great-grandmother of six; Gabriel, Abigail, Sage, Juniper, Asher and John. She passed away on the afternoon of Sept. 22. Barbara was born on Feb. 6, 1927 as Barbara Thomas Budnick in Superior, Wis., to Thomas J Budnick and Ann Haffey, with two siblings, her brother Thomas and her sister Sally. Her fondest childhood memories were of being pulled in a sleigh in the crisp Wisconsin winter through the snow by her father. Barbara recalled a memory of her brother and sister as bookworms and her distinct aversion to that. She longed for more; more adventure, more expression, more excitement. And she pursued and created that for herself. A woman of talent, Barbara became an accomplished opera singer and figure skater in her young adulthood. One of her greatest achievements was recording an album with the late great Burl Ives. While enrolled in her collegiate studies, Barbara met Ronald Hudson Jermstad, a handsome naval officer who captured her heart and who affectionately referred to her as ‘Bob.’ On Dec. 20, 1948, Barbara and Ronald joined their lives in marriage at the Cathedral Rectory in Superior, Wis. As a young military family, they spent time stationed around the country and around the world. On Aug. 14, 1950, they welcomed their first child, Kathy, in Jacksonville, Fla. She was followed by her three brothers, Ronald, Jr. born Oct. 26, 1952, in Springfield, Mass.; Thomas, born May 15, 1954, while stationed at Anacostia NAS in Washington, D.C.; and David, born Nov. 27, 1958, in Paris, France. Other stops along the way included the Panama Canal Zone, Bermuda, USNA Annapolis, the Alameda Naval Air Station and finally Walnut Creek, Calif., where Ronald retired from the Navy. In 1968, after 20 years of marriage, Barbara and Ronald settled with their children in El Dorado County in the foothills of Northern California, purchasing a home in Camino. Studied in real estate and becoming a licensed Broker, Barbara advised her husband and worked together to form Jermstad Investments, investing in various pieces of real estate across the county to create a family corporation and legacy. They enjoyed traveling together, creating memorable experiences for their family and enjoying the fruits of their labors. They used to spend winters in Panama City, Fla, where Barbara was known to wake at 3 a.m. and walk for miles up and down the beach at dawn, arguably where she found the greatest sense of peace and tranquility. For the last 53 years, Barbara was a regular presence at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Placerville, Calif. She enjoyed seeing her family grow as her grandchildren grew families of their own and brought forth great-grandchildren. She was a strong willed, independent and intelligent woman who maintained her home and life well after the passing of her husband in 2017 after 69 years of marriage and she kept her sharp wit and intellect with her up to her final weeks. With gratitude and love, her family maintains her memory in their hearts with thankfulness for all she helped to bring forth and the legacy she leaves with each. Visitation will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 30 at El Dorado Mortuary at 1004 Marshall Way, Placerville, 95667. Rosary will be held from 10:30-11 a.m., Friday, Oct. 1 followed by Mass at 11 a.m., at Saint Patrick Catholic Church, 109 Sacramento St., Placerville, 95667 Burial service will be at Saint Patrick Cemetery, Placerville.
Louis Wellman Danker AKA “Coach Lou” left this world Sept. 19 at the young age of 78 to be with his Jesus. Lou is survived by his beautiful wife, Rita Kay Danker, with whom he shared 56 years of marriage, his daughter Kimberly Marie Smith, his son Gregory Thomas Danker, as well as six adoring grandchildren; Kalib Smith, Logan Smith, Faith Smith, Madison Greiner, Austin Danker and Isabella Danker. Lou was blessed with four great-grandchildren; Camden and Huxley Smith and Hudson and Hayes Greiner. Lou’s grandchildren were his inspiration as he modeled his life to be an attentive and unconditionally loving husband, father, grandpa and coach. He never said “No,” but rather “How can I help?” Most recall him as the “Man of many smiles” always exuding a sense of warmth along with a quick-witted joke or story to brighten up the day. In 1992 Lou and Rita began their retail journey by opening Placerville Grocery Outlet. His contribution to the community will continue to live on through the many customers he served over the years and whom he loved so much. Lou left his handprint on many hearts especially the young athletes who he was privileged to coach. Lou liked to win games, but didn’t consider the scoreboard to determine an athlete’s worth. He wanted kids to know they had purpose and could use their potential to the benefit of others. Lou’s heart was big. His influence, without a doubt, will last for years to come, but for now we will miss being with him face to face. Celebration of life will be held in Placerville at 1 p.m., Oct. 7 at Green Valley Community Church.

Cory Lynn Abel Cendejas
Nov. 10, 1963 – June 17, 2021
Cory Lynn Abel Cendejas passed unexpectedly June 17. She was born in Placerville to Larry and Jackie Abel on Nov. 10, 1963, already a go-getter and ahead of her time as a small child answering the phone and wanting to run operations for their family business. She graduated from El Dorado High School and then started and ran her own successful businesses, making many friends and acquaintances throughout the years. She was also a nationwide dispatcher for the trucking industry. She enjoyed traveling to Mexico with family as often as possible and deeply loved and cared for her family and friends — there was nothing she wouldn’t do to make sure the people she loved were happy and taken care of and she worked very hard to make sure of that. She loved family gatherings and celebrating birthdays and holidays together and spending time with her loved ones. She is survived by her parents, Larry and Jackie; her husband, Horacio; her two children, Cooper and Laree and her five grandchildren, Aurora, Matthew, Josie, Westley and Evie. There will be a Celebration of Life for Cory on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 5 p.m. in Placerville to honor her as a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. If interested in attending, please call or text (530) 503-7605 for details.

Football fans score big at Pondo despite close loss to Casa Roble Thomas Frey Staff writer Although Ponderosa fell 27-26 to Casa Roble Friday, students packed the stands of Simon-Bruin Stadium for a football game for the first time since November 2019. The stands were brimming with energy — an energy that led to Bruins fans being named finalists for the Sacramento Bee’s Student Section of the Week. Fans went crazy less than five minutes into the game when senior quarterback Ryan Hardt scored his first career rushing touchdown and first touchdown of the game. Hardt bolted out of the pocket and raced down the sideline, breaking through a tackle at the goal line for a 21-yard touchdown. “We decided we were just gonna cut him loose, open everything up and let him run the ball — kind of gamble,” said Bruins head coach Davy Johnson. The gamble paid off again on the next possession when Hardt scored his second rushing touchdown on a 4-yard run, giving the Bruins a 14-0 lead. The Bruins’ defense was able to stop the Rams for the most part but Casa Roble sophomore receiving sensation Cole Owens was Ponderosa’s Achilles heel. Owens came into the game with more than 500 yards over three games and added another 168 Friday. His catch on a 4th and 11 set up the first Rams touchdown, then as soon as the second half began he tied up the game when he caught a 48-yard touchdown. The game wasn’t tied for long. Pondo senior running back Gavin Smith took a handoff from Hardt, bursting 40 yards for a touchdown and a 20-14 lead. It was his longest carry of the night and he finished with 131 yards on 16 carries. “It was Gavin’s best game by far,” Johnson said, adding, “It’s something for him to build on and will be good for the rest of the year.” Owens scored again and Pondo answered when Hardt hit senior tight end Jimmy Weiss in stride for a 62-yard touchdown and a 26-21 lead late in the third. Each team’s defense came up big the rest of the game until a Rams carry made it to the end zone for a 27-26 lead with 1:27 to play. On the final play of the game, with the Bruins 75 yards away from the end zone, Hardt hit senior Blake Russell for 35 yards and when he was tackled, the

scoreboard read 0:00 and the game was over. “We played our butts off and we didn’t get it done,” said junior defensive back Nicholas Buckley, who had three pass deflections. “I played as hard as I could, made a few mental errors, cost us a touchdown and overall lost the game. We weren’t expected to do this good but we came out and punched them in the face.” “Every loss is tough and obviously when you lose by one point, those hurt a little bit more,” Johnson said. “Casa Roble is a good program. We knew it was going to be a dogfight until the last second, which it was. I’m proud of the way our kids played.” Hardt finished with 154 passing yards and 85 rushing yards. “We came out and we played hard, surprising a couple people,” Hardt said. “We just need to come back next week, put in more work and see what we can do.” The Bruins continue league play hosting Oakmont Friday at home.
Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
DAY OR NIGHT GRINDING Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing, or clenching teeth. Those with bruxism unconsciously clench or grind their teeth when awake and/or during sleep. Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some patients, bruxism can be frequent and severe, leading to jaw disorders, headaches, and tooth damage. Combinations of physical, psychological, and genetic factors, including stress, age, personality type, prescription medications, family history, and disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia, gastro esophageal reflux disorder (GERD), epilepsy, night terrors, sleep-related disorders such as sleep apnea, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are primary causes. Symptoms may include fractured, chipped or loose teeth;
worn enamel; pain or sensitivity; jaw, neck, face, or ear pain; dull headaches; and sleep disruption. Many people grind their teeth throughout the day, making this damaging practice a 24/7 hazard to their oral as well as overall health. Whether you are in our office for bruxism or just for a simple cleaning, our personal, casual, and relaxed style in providing quality dental care will help put you at ease. We’ll take the time to get to know your needs, answer your questions about the latest techniques and materials, and make sure that you are comfortable. Be kind to your teeth—call us for complete family dental care. P.S. Bertrand Frohman, MD, coined the term bruxism in 1931 from the Greek expression “brychien odontas,” translating literally as “grinding of the teeth.”
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

asbestos testing and removal, soil sampling, air monitoring, dust and erosion control. The right-of-entry form is required for this phase. Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton said those wanting to fill out the form should do so as soon as possible. “The more (right-of-entry forms Cal OES) has in, the more crews they will send in at one time to do everything,” Ashton said. The program is part of a county urgency ordinance brought to supervisors by Environmental Management staff, which establishes standards and procedures for fire debris removal and hazard trees. These procedures aim to help facilitate coordinated, timely and effective mitigation of public health risks and environmental health hazards created by the Caldor Fire, said Warren. “With the anticipated start of

the rainy season it is also offering little time to mitigate further environmental contamination resulting from the fire, including contamination of the watershed areas,” Warren said. Exposure to hazardous materials and debris pose significant threats to public health and the environment, the ordinance states. The state usually spends anywhere from $70,000 to $90,000 per parcel for cleaning and it is by law that homeowners have to be reimbursed by the state for debris removal, according to Warren. “The only thing they ask is that (the homeowners) insurance policy has a debris removal clause in it and that they have money set aside for it,” Warren said. Homeowners can use the portion of their policy toward items not covered on the debris removal program, said Warren. “If they had a swimming pool,
Cal OES is not going to take your swimming pool, so if you want to use that for debris removal you can use that fund for it,” Warren said. Those who do not qualify for the state debris clean-up program or opt out can apply for an alternative debris removal program overseen by the county. Applications for the alternative option are to be submitted to Warren. According to the urgency ordinance, those who don’t participate in the state or county debris removal program will be declared a public nuisance, a health hazard and subject to abatement. The urgency ordinance was approved unanimously by supervisors. The ordinance is exempt from provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.

scratches and gouges from low tree limbs but we probably had the largest and heaviest RV in the park,” Diane said. “If we couldn’t get the motorhome out … we would have been trapped there for months? … I can’t imagine,” Diane said. The Westons first drove the detours in the Jeep to check them out. Although not indicated on maps, Diane said Bayne is entirely paved while Mt. Murphy Road is unpaved for the first 1.5 miles. “There is no way we could have managed Mt. Murphy with steep, slick gravel roads and some hairpin turns,” Diane said. But Bayne Road wasn’t a piece of cake either. Toward the end of Bayne approaching Highway 193 Diane said they encountered oncoming traffic. “These cars had to stop and back up a great distance because passing was simply not possible,” said Diane. “I am certain they had to encounter many of the other RVers trying to negotiate the road. “We have been RVing for over 24 years and this was a new and terrifying experience.” For more than 100 years the Mt. Murphy Road bridge has ferried vehicles and pedestrians across the South Fork. Plans for its replacement are in the works but construction is not estimated to begin until 2023,

according to a 2019 Mountain Democrat report. The Mt. Murphy Bridge was built in 1915. “The main span is 160 feet long with two concrete approach structures of 140 feet and 60 feet long, which were rebuilt in 1931. The bridge approaches are narrow (10.5-feet) with no separation of vehicles from pedestrians,” states a DOT fact sheet, which also notes that due to the popularity of the state park about 38,000 pedestrians cross the bridge every year. Despite upkeep efforts, the bridge has received a failing grade from Caltrans for more than a decade and DOT staff’s preference is an on-alignment alternative that requires demolition of the old structure and building a new, wider bridge in its place that will include a separated, 8-foot-wide sidewalk for pedestrians and a lookout over the river on the west side.

The El Dorado County Chamber is the founding member of the Sustainable Forest Action Coalition. Below is an excerpt of a recent letter regarding forest management practices.
The Honorable Diane Feinstein Re: Dixie Fire HONORABLE SENATOR FEINSTEIN:
I
am writing this letter as the past spokesperson for the Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group Act (HFQLG) and the spokesperson for the Sustainable Forest Action Coalition (SFAC). On behalf of both of these groups, I want to express our frustration and anger over many past actions of yours that have led to the current situation on our National Forests and leading to today’s extreme loss of our forests and critical watersheds. You cannot simply write the current situation off to climate change as you presently do.n 2012, both the HFQLG and SFAC had requested your support in authorizing the extension of the HergerFeinstein Quincy Library Group Act (HFQLG). Both organizations highlighted that even though there had been some litigious opposition to the pilot effort, we felt strongly that the results of the work accomplished to date had illustrated the ecological as well as social and economic benefits that have come through this effort. Our request was ignored by you and others and because of the failure to continue support, the forests that were supported by the Act lost staff and the ability to treat their forests in the same fashion and scale. The result has been the last three years of catastrophic wildfire within this HFQLG footprint. If there had been ten years of continuous forest management under the guidance associated with the HFQLG Act, we feel strongly that we would not see the vast destruction of our forest, watersheds, communities and loss of life associated with fires of the last three years. You cannot write these catastrophic events off to climate change as you are presently citing. The Dixie fire has destroyed much of Greenville and Canyon Dam as well as other structures. This has
resulted in the displacement of families and the loss of the business infrastructure of the communities. Again, both organizations feel strongly that these and the losses of Brush Creek and Berry Creek last year with the associated loss of life could likely have been greatly reduced if you would have continued support of the forest management associated with the HFQLG. It breaks your heart to see the devastation in Greenville. This was a community that had four mills near the community or in the community in the 1980’s. In addition, there were at least five logging companies within the same area. Once all of the policy changes and associated law suits began in the late 80’s and continued into the 1990’s, the town slowly deteriorated. They lost their hospital in the early 2000’s and the schools began to struggle. Now, they have lost their whole community. The remaining mills in the geographic area; Sierra Pacific Industries in Quincy and Burney, Collins Pine Company in Chester and even Trinity River Lumber in Weaverville have all stated that they will not take any logs for three years because they will be logging and reforesting their own lands. This means that all of the millions of board feet of timber on National Forest Land will go to waste and deteriorate on site to become fuel loading that future fires will be impossible to stop. This situation highlights the loss of the milling infrastructure to do any reasonable forest management as well as deal with these catastrophic losses. Starting with the Camp fire and including the Beckwourth, Minerva, North Complex and the present Dixie fires, approximately 1,400,000 acres of the 2,048,000 acres of the Upper Feather River watershed has burned. This does not include fires before the Camp fire which burned additional acres or the current Caldor fire in El Dorado County. This is a sad testament to the policies that you continue to support as well as your continued abandonment of an Act that could have greatly reduced this acreage. Respectfully Submitted; BILL WICKMAN Representative for SFAC and past Spokesperson for HFQL

OCTOBER Chamber 2021 Champions:
CalChamber Status Update Report on Major Legislation for Business The CalChamber recently published a list summarizing top priority bills and their status as of September 10, when the Legislature began its interim recess. October 10 is the last day for the Governor to sign or veto bills passed by the Legislature. Bills signed by the Governor will become law on January 1, 2022. Urgency, tax and budget-related measures go into effect immediately upon being signed. In those cases, the date the Governor signed the bill is noted. CalChamber’s list is broken down into multiple subject areas and is quite extensive. Here we have excerpted a few that may be of interest. Restrictions on Citizen Ballot Initiatives and Voter Signature Gathering. SB 660 (Newman; D-Fullerton) Drastically increases the cost of voter initiatives by requiring any citizen initiative to pay employees an hourly rate to collect signatures for ballot initiatives, referendums, and recall petitions, as opposed to piece-rate signature gathering, thus excluding low-funded citizen initiatives from the ballot process. To Governor Increased Rates and Insurance Premiums. SB 440 (Dodd; D-Napa) Funds home hardening program that benefits only some residents by imposing an additional premium and threatening energy rate increases that could destabilize the energy market. Senate Insurance 2/21/21 Alcohol Sales. SB 389 (Dodd; D-Napa) Allows restaurants to sell prepackaged alcohol for off-site consumption. To Governor Wineries. SB 19 (Glazer; D-Contra Costa) Opens new opportunities for increased revenues by allowing wineries to have one additional off-site tasting room.
To Governor Increases Health Care Costs. SB 524 (Skinner; D-Berkeley) Increases prescription drug costs for consumers by preventing certain network designs between health plans, insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and pharmacies. To Governor Health Care Cost Increase. SB 306 (Pan; D-Sacramento) Mandates health care service plans to provide coverage for home test kits for sexually transmitted diseases as well as their associated laboratory processing costs which will increase employer health care premiums. To Governor Pro-Housing Production. SB 9 (Atkins; D-San Diego) Streamlines more infill housing and provides substantial local control to land use development by allowing, among other things, property owners to build two residential units within a single-family residential zone so long as the units are consistent with all local land use laws, including aesthetics which help retain neighborhood character. To Governor Local Control Streamline Housing. SB 10 (Wiener; D-San Francisco) Addresses the need for more housing by providing local cities and counties with full authority to streamline rezoning in their jurisdiction for up to 10 additional middle income density housing units per parcel, if they choose. To Governor Data Sharing Between EDD and Department of Corrections to Prevent UI Fraud. AB 110 (PetrieNorris; D-Laguna Beach) Requires the Department of Corrections and counties to share the names and Social Security information of current inmates with the Employment Development Department (EDD) to prevent payments on fraudulent claims using inmate information,

How to create job postings that attract stronger candidates Your job post should be more than a list of requirements — it should inspire job seekers to take action. Here are some tips and best practices to make your job posting appeal to candidates while also strengthening your company brand.
A straightforward, keyword-driven job description
Appeal to both candidates and search engines by tightening your word choice. • DO use industry-standard or recognizable job titles — particularly ones found in the suggestion dropdown when creating a job post with LinkedIn Jobs. • DO use clear, direct language that’s easy for candidates to scan • DON’T use gimmicky titles like “data ninja” or “social media rock star” • DON’T use traditionally gender-biased words like “sensitive,” “competitive,” or “assertive” to describe your ideal candidate
Clearly defined responsibilities and qualifications
Give candidates an accurate picture of their day-to-day experience, as well as required skills that management expects. • DO list specific tasks and projects that the candidate will work on or need to have prior experience with • DO consolidate responsibilities and qualifications into a maximum of four to six bullet points • DON’T list redundant or obvious qualifications like “must be able to prioritize work to meet deadlines” • DON’T try to make an exhaustive list of every possible task
Compensation and benefits
Candidates appreciate immediate transparency into salary and perks. • DO strike a balance between describing the job and enticing the candidate with benefits • DO list benefits in a separate “Perks” section to make them more visible • DON’T assume that the role alone, no matter how dynamic, is enough to attract the best candidates • DON’T list only generic benefits that fail to differentiate your company
A clear opportunity for growth
The role should be presented as

OF
a chance for the candidate to flourish professionally and personally through projects that are broader than their daily responsibilities. • DO include examples of successful projects the company has launched in the past • DO mention any meaningful and exciting projects the new hire will own • DON’T share only the day-today responsibilities of the role • DON’T regard upskilling as something an employee will do only during their downtime
Work flexibility
For many candidates, flexible hours or remote working are necessities rather than perks. • DO emphasize workplace flexibility and remote working when possible • DO set realistic expectations about the amount of time the new hire may need to be in the office • DON’T make rigid statements about office attendance • DON’T wait until after the hire to clarify your company’s policy on workplace flexibility
Unique company culture
Attract candidates by showcasing your company brand and mission. • DO add links to your best company sites, like your product pages or success stories • DO research what employees say about working at your company, and reflect those values in your posting • DON’T make your job posting simply a list of requirements • DON’T sound too casual — coming off as overly familiar gives the impression that you’re unprofessional
Mobile-friendly layout
Job seeking is often done on the go, so your posting should be optimized for mobile. • DO use bold text and bullet points to make the most important information easily scannable on small screens • DON’T post to job boards with convoluted resume uploads — most people don’t keep their resume on their mobile devices • DON’T use symbols or emoji that may not appear on certain devices Chamber members, post your job openings on the Chamber website here: https://business.eldoradocounty.org/login/

Editorial
Biden backs radical bill for big unions
A
generation ago labor unions actually tried to represent the financial interests of workers. For all their other faults, they at least focused on higher wages, better working conditions and tight labor markets for their members. That era is long gone. Now labor unions’ top issues include “racial justice,” “climate change” and “immigration reform.” This is one reason why the percentage of workers in unions has dropped from a high of 33% to a low of 10.5% today. Unions have become just another institution captured by progressive elites who are completely out of touch with what working families actually want. Desperate to restore big labor’s depleted coffers, President Joe Biden is attempting to stuff something Democrats call the “Protecting the Right to Organize,” also known as the PRO Act, into his $3.5 trillion spending bill. This legislation would force millions of unsuspecting workers into unions that don’t care about them or their financial well-being and it will steal money out of their hard-earned paychecks in the process. Democrats say this legislation only protects workers’ rights, but nothing could be further from the truth. For starters, the legislation violates worker privacy by forcing employers to give every scrap of information they have about employees to liberal activists. Don’t want Black Lives Matters protesters to know where you live? What your cellphone number is? Or your personal email address? Too bad. The PRO Act forces your employer to give activists all of this info. The PRO Act also bans the secret ballot for union elections. Instead, it allows unions to obtain the power to bargain for an entire workforce through the so-called “card check” process. Under card check, activists are free to pressure workers at their homes and workplaces to sign cards indicating that they support forming a union. Once activists have signed cards from a majority of workers, all the workers must then submit to that union. Under card check, workers have no privacy protection from union intimidation. Do you or anyone you know ever work as an independent contractor? This would include Uber drivers, DoorDash deliverers or good old-fashioned freelance writers and truckers. If so, then this bill affects you, too. Just as California’s disastrous AB 5 upended all of these industries by turning all of these independent contractors into regular employees, the PRO Act would do the same thing to every state across the county. The PRO Act would also abolish right-to-work protections in 27 states. In right-to-work states workers can choose whether or not they want to join a union. Under the PRO Act, no worker would be given that choice. Once a bare majority in any workplace nationwide has voted to form a union, all workers would then be forced to join that union and pay dues to that union every month. No exceptions. As if the losses of privacy, the secret ballot and the right not to join a union weren’t bad enough, the PRO Act would also subject everyone to endless secondary strikes and boycotts. Under current law, a union is allowed to strike against an employer, but not to target companies that continue to do business with that employer. So, for example, a hotel workers union can picket the hotel where its members work, but it can’t then target the business that sells food to the hotel or the business that books a conference at n

Letters to the Editor Don’t fall for the recall EDITOR: y now you may have received petitions in the mail from a group wanting to recall four of the five Placerville City Council members. As far as I can tell, the accusations being made are exaggerated, baseless, and malicious and I urge you not to sign the petitions. I have watched a small group of people be against many decisions the City Council has made. They accuse the council of all kinds of things, just because they want it their way. I believe the Placerville City Council members and the city staff have the community’s best interests at heart and are working diligently to solve problems, such as street maintenance and homelessness. Supporting the arts enhances our community for both locals and visitors, bringing in more people to support our local businesses and enjoy our historic main street. There are no changes being planned for the county Courthouse and no one is turning our historical downtown into San Francisco. I often attend City Council meetings and express my opinion on issues. While my opinion may differ from the council’s, I am satisfied knowing I have expressed my opinion. You discuss the issues, the vote is taken and you move on. While individuals may be unhappy with decisions the City Council has made, I personally don’t feel it warrants this ridiculous recall effort. Please do not sign the petitions.

National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month EDITOR: eptember is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. This is a time for each of us to reach out to those around us and take steps to prevent suicide. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s theme for the month is “Together, we can help #StopSuicide.” My family and I were devastated when we lost my brother Raymond to suicide at the young age of 24. A life is lost to suicide every 12.8 minutes; on average there are 132 suicides each day. One action I’m taking this month to help #StopSuicide is contacting my public officials and urging them to prioritize funding for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and our local crisis call centers.
S
In July 2022 the new 988 number will be fully operational as the universal phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This easy-toremember three-digit number will increase access to vital mental health and suicide crisis supports. Calls are also projected to increase substantially when the 988 number goes fully live. Now is the time to provide the funding to support our local crisis centers to meet the needs of more 988 callers. Together, we can ensure that everyone in crisis has access to care should they need it. Together, we can help #StopSuicide. MARGIE GARCIA Placerville
Yes EDITOR:
M
easles vaccine — yes. Mumps vaccine — yes. Tetanus vaccine — yes. Hepatitis vaccine — yes. Polio vaccine — yes. COVID vaccine — no. Think about it. Really, think about it. JAMES E. LONGHOFER Placerville
Climate again? EDITOR: see another post-fire letter on climate change. We need to do things that mater now. Even the New York Times says we are already too late to stop climate change due to China, Vietnam and India. A small list of basic changes would make a huge difference more quickly than anything else. First, ban frivolous lawsuits that all but ended timber management and harvesting on public lands. Also, no more hoaxes like the spotted owl that decimated our timber industry. We need mills rebuilt like the one that was in Camino and keep them busy with aggressive management and timber harvesting, which will not only make the forest healthier and better able to deal with fire, but the logging roads that the timber companies build will make getting equipment to fight a fire that does break out more timely and efficient. We need to get busy with things that have a more immediate impact. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Dems spend big and we pay for their socialist dream
I
n 1983 Tom Cruise starred in the film “Risky Business.” It’s about wealthy parents in Chicago who go on vacation and leave the house under the stewardship of their high school-age son. In short order, the boy throws a wild party and the rest of the film is Star about the chaotic fallout. It’s the closest thing I can think of to capture current reality in Washington as the kids — the Democrats running the White House and Congress — throw their big party and breathlessly spend their parents’ money (in this case, our money), knowing that the party will be over when adults return. The $3.5-plus trillion spending binge Democrats are rushing to pass is not following a period of austerity. Record spending and debt have been piled on since the Obama years, using government to spend its way out of
a government-induced economic collapse. Then we had the COVID-19 challenge and massive new government spending to get out of that. Per the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards, in 2001 the amount of federal debt per U.S. household was $30,684. By 2011 this was up to Parker $84,470 and now it is at $179,082. If Democrats succeed with their $3.5 trillion binge, federal debt per U.S. household by 2031 will be up to $288,047. Of course, this needs to be financed by taxes as well as borrowing — and the result will be higher taxes on corporations and on capital gains. Perhaps you recall that the year after Donald Trump was elected president, a major tax bill was passed cutting corporate taxes and the result was an economic surge from which all income classes in the country benefited. This will be reversed. Higher taxes mean

slower growth. It’s not like we’re looking at essential expenditures that must be made for our national well-being. Most of this spending is not about fixing roads and bridges and strengthening our military. Most of it is to build the socialist paradise Senate Budget Chairman Bernie Sanders and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dream about: new household entitlements, new employer mandates, Medicare benefits expansion and all kinds of corporate welfare subsidies in the name of the Green New Deal and industrial policy spending. But let’s get to perhaps the most fundamental point. These are so-called political leaders who pretend to care about America’s poor. The last thing that America’s poor need is a slowed-down, sluggish economy, larded down by massive new government. Furthermore, our federal government sets a horrible example for financial management for all American households. You don’t take on new
debts when you haven’t dealt with the debts currently on your doorstep. On Aug. 31 the latest annual reports from the Social Security and Medicare Trustees landed on the desks of Pelosi and the president of the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris. These reports show both programs gushing red ink and hovering on bankruptcy. By 2034, just 13 years from now, Social Security will have cash flow to meet just 78% of its obligations. Its overall projected shortfall over the next 75 years is $19.8 trillion. The Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be bankrupt by 2026. In 2020, of the $925.8 billion in Medicare spending only $430.3 billion was paid for by payroll taxes and premiums. The rest was borrowed, amounting to almost 16% of the federal deficit. But not a word about this while Democrats push for massive new spending and debt. Not only not a word, but they want

EDITOR: sed car salesman Larry Weitzman’s recent column trying to paint President Biden and all Democrats as America haters brought to mind three events in my life almost 60 years apart. First buying a used car on Fulton Avenue that blew an engine less than a 100 miles on the road. The second was as a 20-year-old Marine serving in Vietnam from 1966-67. Twice a day I rode shotgun in the back of a 2-ton truck full of mail bags. Arriving at the Da nang Air Base, we would unload the outgoing mail bags and load incoming mail. During a break we would pause to honor our fellow servicemen in body bags, waiting to be flown home. Reading the name tags you could tell that men and women of every creed had given their all. Larry, I did not ever see party preference on those body bags. The third event was a trip to the veterans cemetery in Fernley, Nev.. The occasion was to honor my stepdad, a World War II Army veteran. My wife and I spent a couple hours walking up and down row after row of graves, reading the names of

the hotel. Those would be secondary strikes. But under the PRO Act, unions could target whatever business they wanted for whatever reason. If you are tired of boycotts and protests by woke activists now, it would be a hundred times worse if the PRO Act became law. There would be no hiding from woke protests anywhere. Democrats are trying to pass this radical big union bailout on a party-line vote with the barest congressional majorities. If Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending plan wasn’t already bad enough due to the tax hikes, the record-setting amnesty and growing inflation, the PRO Act alone would be reason enough to sink the bill.

rom four worthy candidates, Colleen Moore was honored Thursday with the title to reign as the 2021 El Dorado Rose. “I would like to thank Jill Kearney, my sponsor, and Carol Mueller — she was my ‘Big Sister,’” shared a stunned Moore after the pageant. Kearney is the president of the El Dorado County Historical Society and, Moore explained Mueller, as her “Big Sister,” helped write her résumé, select her costume and with anything else needed to prepare her for the pageant. E. Diane Maloney, the 2019 Rose, presented the 2021 El Dorado sash to Moore. Maloney is the longest-serving Rose because last year’s pageant was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though she reigned an additional year, Maloney said she could not do much. “We couldn’t do open houses or ceremonies; events were canceled.” Although her reign has ended, Maloney pledged to stay active in the community. Moore will represent El Dorado County at various county and community events. Her court will also serve as county ambassadors and join Moore out and about. The El Dorado Rose Court, and their escorts, are Coco DeCarlo escorted by Bob Burnley; Ellen Fischer escorted by Stephen Katzakian; and Gay Willyard escorted by District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo. Moore was escorted by her husband, Gary.

Below, Mitzi Stockel aka Charley Parkhurst, left, and Bob Burnley in period attire have some Old West fun at the El Dorado Rose Pageant hosted at the American Legion Hall. Trophies were also awarded. Willyard won for the Most Authentic Costume and DeCarlo took home the honors for Best Reproduction Costume. All court members received a Lady of the Court trophy. Pageant director Carole Burnley and Master of Ceremonies Lou Gagne facilitated the event and introductions. The pageant, costumes, stories and entertainment transported attendees to the late 1800s. The talented Gold Rush Barbershop Chorus — directed by Kent Miller — and the Whatever 4 Quartet — Patty Easley as the lead singer, Pattie Bauer
as bass, Marty Pacini as baritone and Sue Barkley as tenor — entertained the packed room of past pageant winners, supporters and
cheerers, bringing the music and sounds of yesteryear alive. As each candidate promenaded in their period costume, Burnley

omics and gaming aficionados can soon pop into a new first comic book and game store in El Dorado County, but owners Sophia Wu and Greg Silva want to make it clear rookies are just as welcome to check out El Dorado Hills Town Center’s newest addition, Snug Spot Comics and Games. Nestled between Talisman Collection Fine Jewelers and Culture Aesthetics and Salon, Wu and Silva offer an experience in addition to their collection of Marvel and DC comic books, anime and manga, card games as well as a variety of board games. “We want to be the hub for the hobby community, especially hobbies like ours,” said Wu. Almost half of the store is dedicated to space for playing board games, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering and even some Pokémon. Wu and Silva look forward to hosting tournaments, anime nights and game nights, both selfdirected and guided journeys such as pregenerated campaigns for kids. Snug Spot aims to debunk the snob factor of many traditional comic book store stereotypes, friendly and enthusiastic customer service being a point of pride for the two selfacclaimed geeks. “It’s the inspiration for the name,” Wu explained. “It’s a snug spot where you can come and chill. “We have a huge focus on helping people learn, to get into what we’re into,” continued Wu, a

Find comic books, games and more at Snug Spot, the new El Dorado Hills Town Center business. The owners host a grand opening Friday, Oct. 1. Deadpool fangirl who fell in love with graphic novels on accident one evening when she and her fiancé missed a movie and wandered into a bookstore. “It’s always amazing to do something that you love — to be able to talk to customers about something you really enjoy.” Wu hopes to soon be the primary source for imported Japanese goods in El Dorado Hills, anime merchandise in particular and even Japanese snacks. Silva admits to being a reluctant convert when his brother first introduced him to Magic the Gathering. “I wasn’t a huge game person,” he said, sharing that at the time he was a high school dropout and on the streets. “I thought that I could turn my life around and get into something more positive.” Since
then, Silva saved enough working in construction and investing his earnings to pay off his house and partner with Wu to open Snug Spot. Although some of Silva’s investments were through stocks, he contends that Magic cards can be a lucrative enterprise as well. “Magic cards can range from a couple cents to thousands of dollars for a single card,” he said, revealing that some collectors don’t even play the game. “There’s a Black Lotus card that is now going for over $100,000.” Wu chimed in to also laud the intellectual virtues of the game. “The way you have to read the cards, there’s a lot of math and logic involved,” said Wu, noting that play combinations can be fairly subtle. “I actually find it to be quite an educational game and sometimes it hurts my
brain.” Silva, who is now married and expecting his first child, said he hopes to offer encouragement to others who may be living through difficulties like his past ones. “I want to be able to relate to them,” he said, mentioning that he enjoys the social and artistic aspects of the game. “Playing the game could lead to wanting to become an artist or create something else — like becoming a game store owner.” Ultimately, Wu and Silva just want to bring joy to the community. “Especially with the state of the world,” Wu insisted. “Our industry sells fun and that’s so important right now.” Snug Spot, open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, will host a grand opening Friday, Oct. 1.

Ready for Steak & Grapes? News release Kilt & Cork, LLC in partnership with Kings Meats and the El Dorado Winery Association, presents Steaks & Grapes, a high-end collaborative dinner and concert to benefit victims of the Caldor Fire. The event will take place on Oct. 2 at Saureel Vineyards, a breathtakingly beautiful venue in Placerville. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Caldor Fire Fund, a fund set up by the El Dorado Community Foundation to assist those impacted by the fire. The event is the brainchild of Casey King, owner of Kings Meats in Diamond Springs. King and his team will supply and grill the handcut steaks while other local eateries, including Poor Reds, Heyday Café, Milestone Restaurant, C. Knights Steakhouse, Grazing Grouse, Frank Vilts Cakes and The Flourless Bakery, will provide the mouth-watering side dishes and desserts. To round out the experience, members of the El Dorado Winery Association are sharing their
incredible wines to make dinner complete. “I just felt that we could do more,” said King “There is such a need right now in this county to support of all those impacted, but I am not an expert in organizing an event like this so I called in my buddy Russ Reyes.” “Casey and his team have already done so much for the people of El Dorado County, serving over 3,000 meals to those in need,” said Reyes, founder of Kilt & Cork. “He is a pillar here in our community and it is an honor to support his vision of an event that can raise some serious money for our those most heavily impacted by this fire.” After feasting on an incredible dinner, attendees will get to dance the night away to the Spazmatics, a highenergy, extremely popular ’80s cover band. The dinner will take place 4-6 p.m. followed by the concert beginning at 6:30. There are two ticketing levels available – dinner and concert or concert only — and they can be purchased at Kiltandcork.com.

Elder Options adds services News release Recognizing the number of retired military personnel who live in El Dorado County and the surrounding areas, Elder Options’ Chief Operating Officer Liz Heape-Caldwell announced that Elder Options has signed a provider contract with the Veterans Administration and TriWest Healthcare Alliance as a Community Care Network provider. With this contract in place Elder Options is now accepting referrals from local physicians registered with the Tri West Community Care Network as well as VA health facilities within its service area to provide nonmedical home care recommended by the veteran’s physician. Services to be provided can be to help with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, meal preparation and household tasks to “enable independence and safety” for the veteran. The number of hours as well as tasks recommended need to be ordered by the veteran’s physician. Once the
referral is received, Elder Options’ scheduling department will reach out to the veteran and family to see what their needs are and how best to meet them. “We’ve just received a second piece of good news,” added Heape-Caldwell. “Elder Options has been awarded funds from a submitted grant from the El Dorado Community Foundation for the VA-Homemaker program.” This program is funded on behalf of the El Dorado County Veterans Affairs Commission through the foundation and the Elders Community Fund to assist veterans and their spouses in remaining independent at home. A popular program from its inception in 2020, the VA-Homemaker program allows veterans or disabled spouses a chance to have assistance for three hours once a week for one month. This is a good opportunity for eligible families to try out having some needed help in the home. Caldwell anticipates this program will begin accepting referrals when funding is received in October.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Give yourself the leeway to mess around, try things on and poke your nose into the parts of it that don’t seem meant for you. The bottom line is, you won’t know until you try. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may not think you have a lot of rules, but in fact you abide rather strictly to your preferences. You’re even more selective than usual, and will gladly pass on things that fall short of your sensory and intellectual standards. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your conversational skills will be called on. You’re in demand for being so adaptable, comfortable and effective in a variety of situations. It’s a natural extension of the sort of work and play you do today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Nobody has life solved; it’s an unsolvable equation. Those who act like they have the answers tend to annoy the rest. So, take off some of the pressure. Don’t worry about who you are. Do what you want to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve skipped over the edge of your groove and are now in an unsecured, unpredictable place. It doesn’t feel good, but it is. Don’t go back to the old pattern; that groove was a rut. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some days you feel invincible, but today you lead with a humble part of you and, oddly enough, get more powerful results. Posturing doesn’t facilitate connection very well because people connect mostly in their vulnerability.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you adventure with others, you feel somewhat responsible for them. Assuming this high level of responsibility for your fellow humans is a lot of work, but it’s what makes you special. Besides, your people are worth it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). We are all limited people in a world that will test our limits again and again -- that is, if we’re living right! You welcome trials because the lessons make you smarter, faster, wiser and stronger. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people enjoy thinking that anything can happen. You’d rather know what’s likely to happen because it allows you to plan accordingly. Life is more interesting with a strategy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your drive is powerful, estimable and intimidating. You’re a force people both admire and fear. As a result, some of your phone calls won’t be returned -- a sign to move on to more promising prospects. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll deal with the delightful and the difficult. Some act irresponsibly. Callouts are unnecessary because everyone knows what’s up. Believe the best about people and give them room to rise to the occasion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Too much of a good thing ruins the goodness of the thing. Since life is a bit of a buffet today, restraint will be called for. How can you limit your exposure to the dangerous luxury of options?

ACRAMENTO — “Crazy Betty,” the darkly humorous play written by award-winning El Dorado County playwright Charlotte Higgins and directed by the acclaimed Maggie Upton, will see its California premiere at the California Stage in Sacramento, opening Oct 1. The play features the talents of local actors Georgann Wallace, Savannah Nettel, Eason Donner, Frank Swaringen and Devin Machado. “Crazy Betty” is the story of Betty and Annie, a generation apart, who are bound together by the death of someone they loved. Reunited after 10 years, they try to forge a friendship and help each other beat a system stacked against them. All Betty wants from her dollar store job is a decent shift and health insurance. Annie, fresh out of prison, can’t get work any place but the local strip club. The two women try to outrun their past but find it’s been lying in wait all along.

appreciation of the attire worn back in the day. Past Rose court ladies provided a special presentation, “Women of the Gold Rush,” and portrayed four women from the Gold Rush era who made a profound impact in El Dorado County. Mitzi Stockel portrayed Charlotte (Charley) Parkhurst, Anita Young portrayed Lucy Stoddard Wakefield, Kathy Walter portrayed Nancy Gooch and Mary Meader portrayed her grandmother Christina Reeg Duffey Bayne. Meader was the 2016 El Dorado Rose and owns the Placerville News Co. in Placerville. Each wore period attire representing the pioneer woman they portrayed and told their history with heartfelt passion. As Parkhurst had concealed her gender to become a stagecoach driver and lost an eye due to a kick from a horse, Stockel wore a long coat, boots, an eye patch and hat to represent the brave lady. The pageant was originally scheduled to be held at its traditional location — the El Dorado County Fair. First due to COVID and the due to the Caldor Fire, the fair was canceled. The American Legion Hall in Placerville opened its doors to accommodate the pageant for free last
week. “We deeply appreciate the American Legion Hall letting us use this,” said Burnley. Turnboo expressed sadness regarding the Caldor Fire and disappointment over not having the pageant at the fairgrounds; however, he beamed and praised the event. “But this is really fantastic. Good turnout, facility, wonderful program and just fantastic.” Bob Burnley, who escorted Coco DeCarlo, noted the special caliber of the pageant in giving deserving recognition to mature women volunteers. “I think we are the only county in California that honors our women volunteers like this.” Gagne, who has served as the pageant emcee for four years, pointed out that the El Dorado Rose is more than participating in special community events, “It is the highest point of being a volunteer and a historian of El Dorado — to teach people by doing, showing and sharing her smile and apparel. (It’s) the joining with women who think alike about El Dorado and Placerville and having lifetime friends.” Gagne explained the El Dorado Rose gives the visual by wearing
either real or authentic reproduction clothing of the middle to late 1800s, sharing of the heritage of Placerville and El Dorado County history and showing that it was more than gold mining and placer mining. El Dorado County has received not only local but state and national recognition for the El Dorado Rose Pageant. To be eligible, a candidate must be at least 60 years old, have lived in El

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.

The 12-foot tall painted, wooden sculpture with lights was created by artist and Images of Hope cabinet member Andrew Vonderschmitt in 2020. “In 2020 the Images of Hope cabinet decided to forego any public events during Pink in the Night in the midst of the pandemic. Instead, it was decided to use our resources to launch an awareness campaign,” Vonderschmitt told the Mountain Democrat. “The cabinet had also recently launched a campaign raising awareness for all cancer types, the goal being to de-stigmatize cancer discussions and promote cancer screenings for all. “Several ideas of how to make a big splash to raise awareness were talked about. Eventually the idea of an art installation took hold,” he continued. “Images of Hope would sponsor a local artist to design, fabricate and install the yet-to-be-determined art piece somewhere within the city of Placerville. Vonderschmitt designed a colorful awareness ribbon like the ones often
used for various causes, six primary and secondary colors of the rainbow. With cabinet approval of his design (he recused himself from the vote), the local artist built the piece in his backyard during quarantine. The artwork made its debut in October 2020. Last Thursday morning, as downtown Placerville came to life with the rising sun, Vonderschmitt and volunteers Paul Zappettini, Bill Robinson and Charlie Wiglesworth once again erected the ribbon, visible to everyone who drives, walks or bikes on Main Street. Images of Hope, which operates under the umbrella of the Marshall Foundation for Community Health, is an all-volunteer organization that promotes cancer awareness, activities, events and ongoing support for El Dorado County. The program provides a connection between art therapy and supportive services that aid in the healing process for those whose lives have been impacted by cancer.

Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 280-2832, or visit this internet website www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-1070-11 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The Notice to Tenant pertains to sales occurring after January 1, 2021.

GROW FOR IT! The mystery of autumn leaves
I
n the parts of the world that experience seasonal change, autumn is one of the most beautiful and mysterious times of the year. There are more than 60,000 species of trees on Earth and there are different ways in which to identify them, but one way to differentiate types of trees is by their leaves. Autumn is often the season that makes identification between deciduous and evergreen trees the most recognizable. Deciduous trees are those whose leaves change color and fall off and many evergreen trees remain green all year. To understand why deciduous trees change color and lose their leaves in autumn, we must first learn why evergreen trees don’t lose their leaves. Many evergreens have adapted to protect themselves from the dehydration caused by heavy winds, freezing temperatures and cold winters. Their needle-like leaves are coated with a thick, waxy cuticle, which prevents water loss They have fewer stomata, or pores, than deciduous leaves so there is less water evaporation. Their cells are closely packed so water between the cells cannot easily freeze and damage plant tissue. Each evergreen tree has thousands of needles, which capture sunlight even in shady areas. These adaptations make it possible for evergreens to photosynthesize, the ability to absorb sunlight and transform water and carbon dioxide into
Laurel Rady UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County energy, throughout the year. Deciduous trees, however, have developed an entirely different strategy to conserve water and survive during extended periods of extreme cold. The broad leaves of deciduous trees have a much larger surface area than the needles of evergreens and this maximizes a tree’s ability to photosynthesize during spring and summer. However, this ability becomes a liability in autumn, because even on cold days the sun evaporates water from the leaves and dehydrates the trees. As winter nears, trees receive less sunlight with each passing day. Too little light and not enough energy reduce the nutrients that thousands of leaves require. Nature’s solution for deciduous trees is to go dormant, losing their leaves and stopping production of new leaves until spring. As dormancy begins, leaves start to change color. The major pigments responsible for leaf color are chlorophyll producing the green color, carotenoids creating the yellow/ orange coloration and anthocyanin producing reds. Chlorophyll is most efficient at

As chlorophyll breaks down in leaves the color fades and the underlying carotenoids become visible, revealing vibrant colors absorbing sunlight and creating photosynthesis and trees make more chlorophyll than any other pigment. Although the other pigments are always present, the intense green color masks their presence. When the days become shorter and colder, the loss of sunlight triggers trees to stop making chlorophyll. The remaining chlorophyll is redistributed back into the trunks and roots to help nourish the trees through the winter months. As the chlorophyll breaks down its green color fades and the underlying carotenoids become visible, revealing glorious yellows, oranges and golds. The red pigment, anthocyanin, is created in autumn and is present only in trees and shrubs
