Parents and students gather in front of Oak Ridge High School to support reopening the high school for instruction. “I just feel it’s so important not only academically, but for sports and socially, they need to be with their peers and teachers,” said Oak Ridge parent Stephanie Wengel. “It’s hard to learn online,” said Oak Ridge freshman Ethan Brady, who added that he looks forward most to hanging out with his friends when the school reopens.
El Dorado Union High School District going hybrid

espite efforts of protesting students and parents who pleaded with school officials to rethink the hybrid learning model as currently structured, last Tuesday the El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees unanimously voted to open schools for hybrid learning Oct. 8. Hybrid learning, the next step in the district’s three-phase guidance to reopening, alternates between distance learning and in-person instruction with students attending school twice a week. Students will be divided into two cohorts where approximately 50% of students attend on assigned days. Issues surrounding the decision were ardently contested, with impassioned pleas from supporters of both distance learning and the hybrid model as a necessary step to opening up classrooms to full in-person learning. Parents, teachers and students weighed in at the meeting, live and by phone. District Superintendent Ron Carruth referenced the unprecedented amount of feedback the board received regarding the opening. “The volume has been unequaled over the course of my career,” he said. “What is clear is that no choice is perfect in this environment.” However, in a district-wide parent survey that returned 3,191 responses, a solid majority of 79% of parents voted in support of reopening the schools. Oak Ridge High School was represented by 37.8% of the votes, Ponderosa 25.9%, Union Mine 16.1% and El Dorado 14.6%. Carruth assured that the hybrid model meets all the requirements in the memorandum of understanding agreed to this past July between n
Students on the Divide return 5 days a week Democrat staff The Black Oak Mine Unified School District Board of Trustees decided at a special meeting Sept. 24 in a unanimous vote to return to face-to-face instruction. Students will go back to school five days a week starting Oct. 5. Transitional kindergarten through thirdgrade students will be on a 230-minute daily schedule and fourth through 12th graders will be on a 240-minute daily schedule. Distance learning remains an option, according to district officials, for families who are not comfortable with a return to face-to-face instruction or for parents who are not willing to require their child to wear a mask at school for some period of time. Trustees will revisit this learning model prior to the second semester. Staff, community members and parents n

Echo Summit opens ahead of schedule Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — In the early hours of Sunday Caltrans workers reopened Highway 50 over Echo Summit five days ahead of schedule. One-way, intermittent daytime traffic control will continue over the next few weeks to finish the project, said Caltrans officials. The construction was scheduled to last through Oct. 2 but the road was reopened at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. A full closure of Highway 50 began Sept. 18 to install seven precast, prestressed, 96-foot bridge girders and associated work that included pouring ultra highperformance concrete to connect the girders, building concrete barrier walls and approach slabs, applying a polyester overlay on the bridge and asphalt paving approaching both sides of the new structure. Local residents and commuters were issued special passes to use Johnson Road during the closure.

‘Freedom Celebration’ trots in for Founders Day Horseback riders trot into Georgetown Saturday as the community organized an unofficial Founders Day parade.
Gazette staff Georgetown celebrated what some called “unofficial Founders Day” Saturday, the day the community otherwise would have held its actual, annual Founders Day event but could not obtain the necessary permits due to COVID-19 restrictions. As it turns out, the Divide community didn’t really need permits to celebrate its history and the pioneers who were the first to settle in the area. Locals rode through Georgetown’s Main Street on horseback, by horse-drawn carriage, in flag-flying pickups, old Volkswagons and more as part of a short parade. Main Street was not closed but motorists were respectful to accommodate the celebration. People lined the street to watch the parade and shop trunk and sidewalk sales as bands, one near the American River Inn and another at the Georgetown Hotel, filled the air with festive tunes. Eventgoers also enjoyed horse-drawn carriage rides until the horses n

Dodge Dakota pickup truck driven by 18-year-old Rafael Reynaga pulled out after being stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Gold Hill and Lotus roads shortly after 3:20 p.m. Gillespie was traveling northbound on Lotus Road as he approached the intersection, the Placerville office of the CHP reported.

Echo Summit Caltrans officials said an accelerated bridge construction approach minimized impacts to traffic by closing the highway for nine days and using ultra high-performance concrete to bind the girders together. The ultra high-performance concrete is the first on a Caltrans project at high elevation — 7,382 feet. Caltrans and its contractor, Q&D Construction, removed large concrete portions of the old bridge, including utilizing specialized equipment (spider excavators) positioned over a precariously steep grade on the side of the mountain. “Caltrans is committed to innovative ways to improve efficiency and minimize impacts to the traveling public during construction,” said Caltrans District 3 Director Amarjeet Benipal in a press release. “I would like to thank the Caltrans team and Q&D Construction for their outstanding work on this important safety project.”

Caltrans finished most of the work on the Echo Summit bridge project over the weekend. The roadway reopened to motorists at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. Accelerated bridge construction paired with a full closure of the highway saved the project about three months time and allowed it to be completed in two seasons rather than extending into 2021, according to Caltrans North Region Construction Chief

Pair of abandoned dogs rescued on Highway 50 Tahoe Daily Tribune FRESH POND — El Dorado County Animal Services is looking for information from anyone who may have witnessed two German shepherd dogs being abandoned on Highway 50 near Bridal Veil Falls and Fresh Pond last week. The young adult male dogs, which were found malnourished and with their metal chain collars embedded into their necks, were rescued by El Dorado County Animal Services and are now safely at the shelter in Diamond Springs. “It appears the dogs were not only abandoned but also severely neglected,” Henry Brzezinski, chief of animal services said in a press release. “We’re thankful to have the dogs safely in our care, but trying to learn more about what occurred and what caused someone to commit this cruel act.” Animal services officers went to great lengths to capture the dogs so that they could be helped, according to Brzezinski. “The dogs were very frightened and ran and hid in an area of the forest with steep terrain that was difficult for our officers to access,” said Brzezinski. “Over the next week we continued to patrol and look in the area for the dogs. We knew they were still there and must be tired and hungry. We had placed a humane trap with food for bait in the area but the dogs were large dogs and they were leery of the trap.” Animal services officers came up with a solution to get the dogs. “One of our officers had heard of a unique trap called a Missy Trap that is used to humanely capture larger domestic animals when conventional traps don’t work,” said Brzezinski in the release. Officers placed a remote camera

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
THE BENEFITS OF WATER FLOSSERS Diligent dental hygiene is more than a path to a beautiful smile. It can save both pain and money as well, which is why many people choose to invest in a water flosser. Although brushing is vital, it can never reach all the crevices in which food can hide, and while string flossing can go deeper than brushing, water flossing can reach almost anywhere. Some people may find them intimidating at first, and there is a bit of a learning curve to master when it comes to pressure and water temperature; however, once you figure out your preferred setting, water flossers are very easy to use. If
heavy plaque is a problem, try string flossing your teeth first. Carefully performed home oral hygiene is one of the most effective ways to keep your mouth and teeth healthy. We’ll be happy to demonstrate good brushing and flossing techniques as well as inform you about products that we know will help you maintain a healthy smile between routine dental checkups. For an appointment for compassionate dental care, please call our full service, family dental office. P.S. Water flossers can be especially helpful for people with braces, crowns, dental implants, and non removable bridgework.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Two German shepherds abandoned recently on Highway 50 have been rescued and are now recovering with the help of El Dorado County Animal Services staff. near the trap so the on-call officer would be alerted if the dogs entered the trap. The trap worked and the dogs were captured Saturday evening. The dogs were transported to a veterinarian to receive a medical exam and needed care. The veterinarian confirmed both of the dogs were malnourished, one severely, and surgery was needed to remove the metal chain embedded in the neck of one of the dogs. The other dog’s chain was removed by clinic staff. Both dogs received needed medical care and were then transported to the shelter. Animal Services is reporting that both dogs, which have been given the names Toby and Ash by
staff, are doing better now and recovering. “They both were very scared at first but they’re starting to feel more comfortable, eating and responding to follow-up care by our shelter staff. We expect them to fully recover,” said Brzezinski. “We are proud of the excellent teamwork and coordination by our Western Slope and South Lake Tahoe Animal Services units so that we could have a successful outcome for the dogs,” said Brzezinski. “I’d also like to thank our partners at the California Highway Patrol – Placerville office who provided assistance.” Animal Services is asking anyone with information about this case to call (530) 621-5795.
the Faculty Association and the district. These include public health approval, rapid testing capacity for all schools and child care support for teachers. School safety protocols will enforce face coverings, daily classroom cleaning, social distancing, hand sanitizer in every classroom and additional campus hand washing stations. HVAC systems will be set to maximum ventilation to bring in fresh air, sharing of supplies is limited and club meetings will be held outside. Although the county was recently moved to the orange tier in the state’s COVID-19 reopening framework, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Chris Moore said case rates show the county has already been operating in the orange tier for three consecutive weeks. Furthermore, an average of 1.3% of those being tested are testing positive. “We’re actually in the yellow (tier) for the one category of positivity tests,” Moore maintained. “We haven’t met all the conditions yet for full in-person learning five days a week but we’ll see what happens with community transmission,” he said, addressing the many who complained that full in-person learning was not an option offered on the survey. As a parent of an Oak Ridge senior with an auto-immune disease, Craig Barth is vehemently opposed to the hybrid learning model. “Not only is it unfeasible for some; it is foolish and illogical,” he said, explaining that some of his son’s advanced classes are unavailable through the online learning program. “We would be sacrificing his health for his education.” Several students stood to express opinions, one of them being Oak Ridge senior Kai Fritz who is reluctant to attend school in-person. “My parents want me to go back to school,” he shared. “However, I don’t want my education to be a burden for their health.” Others took issue with the reduced direct instruction provided under the hybrid model. Oak Ridge parent Rita Ferrero noted that teachers are not required to simulcast their classes to the at-home cohort while teaching to the in-school cohort, potentially giving students three days per week of asynchronous learning. “This would mean that a student could be receiving just 80 teaching minutes of a subject per week,” she said. “Contrast this with a normal schedule which had them receiving 270 teaching minutes of a subject per week or up to 160 with distance learning.” She also referenced depression and anxiety associated with reduced social interaction.
“At what point do we say we are hurting our kids more than we are helping them by keeping them socially distanced and sequestered?” Oak Ridge parent Kristen Roeder asked, advocating the return to full time in-person learning. “This is what our students need and deserve.” Oak Ridge teacher Erin Arthur, who said she believes distance learning is a better model than the hybrid one, stood to speak on her own behalf and not in her role as negotiator for the Faculty Association. “As a teacher, I was given no voice in this discussion,” she asserted, saying the district reached out to survey parents but never once asked teachers for input. “In an internal survey conducted at Oak Ridge High School sent to the board this week, 84% of teachers do not support a transition to the hybrid model. It is not good teaching.” While he acknowledges the board was in a difficult situation, Oak Ridge Principal Aaron Palm is optimistic. “My hope is that our students and staff will rise to the occasion just like they did for distance learning,” he said. “No one has tried to do something like this with a school our size or with the depth of offerings that we provide. We feel we have a strong plan in place; however, we are ready to adjust and evolve as necessary.” “It’s a trade-off,” admitted Moore, adding that the 48-member committee consisting of parents, teachers and administrators worked hard to come up with a program that could prevent an outbreak event. “We wanted to make sure that when we transitioned from full-distance to hybrid, we were doing the best we could to educate students while simultaneously keeping students and employees safe. It’s a means by which we can get back to five days of in-person learning. “We care deeply about our kids,” Moore continued, recognizing both health concerns as well as families in technologically challenged households who struggle with distance learning. “We want our kids learning but we also have to make sure we’re being responsible and taking care of our employees and the community.”

Big Changes are Coming to Christmas Tree Lane this Year The El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce will continue the tradition of the Hwy 50 Holiday Trees in spite of the current pandemic. The brightly decorated trees along the highway through Placerville give much-needed joy to our community and travelers. Now more than ever we need to keep that spirit alive. In order to minimize the risk of exposure in our community, changes have been made in our application process as well as tree decorating and cleanup days. We appreciate your cooperation and patience through this new process.
What you need to know about adopting a tree: 1. All applications must be submitted online between October 15th—October 29. No applications will be accepted in person. (Stay tuned for the link to our applications). 2. Applications will be drawn through a randomized system on November 2nd. 3. All applicants chosen through the randomized drawing will be notified by email on or before November 6th. 4. There will be a list of back-up applicants chosen through the same randomized process. Should the original winner of the drawing decline their tree within 5 days, the back-up list will be implemented.
ADOPT-A-TREE Fundraiser The Christmas Tree Growers Assn. has always donated the trees for Christmas Tree Lane. This year they are unable to donate the trees but have given us a generous discount. To support this project, seven trees will be given up for adoption with a suggested donation of $500.00 per tree. To adopt a tree with a donation you may call the chamber office at 530-621-5885 between October 15th and October 29th. COVID-19 Safety Restriction & Protocols All participants must adhere to the safety restrictions and protocol. Any indi-
vidual or group who refuses to follow these restrictions will be asked to leave. 1. Each participant will be given an appointment time to check-in and receive their assigned tree location. Do not show up before your designated time slot. 2. Groups may not exceed 10 people. 3. Masks are required. 4. If you are sick, please stay home. 5. Social distancing of 6 feet between groups and/or individuals is required. Check the Chamber website for the release of the application link.
2020 Legislative Session Post Session Report COVID-19 and the State Legislature As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic altered life in California and the State Legislature was no exception. In mid-March, the Legislature adjourned for several weeks due to concerns about community spread. Upon their return, the Legislature put in place a system allowing for limited in person testimony in committees, enabling remote testimony via phone conference and legislative leadership directed legislators to reduce their “bill loads” encouraging members to 3-5 bills and limiting scope to three primary topics: State response to COVID19, Homelessness and Fire Safety. Well, filed under the topic of “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” one legislator’s perception of COVID Response is an opportunity for other legislators to advance policy priorities they were unable to do in normal times. SB 1383 – A COVID Melodrama Such was the case with many HR related, union backed bills, including SB 1383, sponsored by outgoing Sen. Hannah Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) which sought to expand paid family leave law to include employers with as few as five employees, add an enforcement mechanism that would lead to unnecessary lawsuits and expand the list of eligible family members beyond current state law and inconsistent with federal law. Just like the legislature, the UCAN chambers agreed to narrow our focus in 2020 to a core set of bills. UCAN joined a coalition of business interests aligned against SB 1383, led by the California Chamber of Commerce. UCAN’s job was to focus on our five Legislators in the state Assembly – Assembly members Bigelow, Cooley, Cooper, Kiley and Gallagher. After touching base with all five, we focused
our efforts on Assembly members Cooley and Cooper – both members of the so-called Moderate Democrat Caucus (The Mods). The coalition consistently engaged moderate democrat legislators who expressed concern about SB 1383’s impacts to small businesses in their districts. SB 1383 was such a concern to the Mod Dems that they took a meeting with Governor Newsom’s staff and Speaker of the Assembly Rendon to discuss their concerns with the bill…. this was key since SB 1383 was a publicly declared priority for Governor Newsom, reflecting his definition of “California Values.” SB 1383 was debated late into the night on Monday, August 31, the last day of the 2020 legislative session. In the end, SB 1383 was approved by the state Assembly 46-18, with several Democrats jumping on the bill after the 41st vote was cast - by Assembly member Joaquin Arrambula, who resigned his position as chair of the Mod Dem Caucus the next day. You’ll be glad to know, the UCAN chambers held up our end. GOP Assembly members Frank Bigelow, Kevin Kiley and James Gallagher were joined by Assembly member Ken Cooley in voting NO on SB 1383 and Assembly member Jim Cooper abstained. All UCAN Chambers and their volunteer leaders deserve huge thanks for engaging with our legislators on SB 1383 – and two deserve special recognition – the Rancho Cordova and the Elk Grove Chambers of Commerce consistently engaged their legislators and demonstrated the critical role that united, local, constituent based advocacy plays in supporting the interests of small business.

intense….with many priority bills of legislators from each house failing to come up for a vote on the last day of session. The last day was also marked by the expulsion of Senate Republican members from the floor due to possible exposure to COVID-19 from one of the colleagues, Brian Jones (R-Temecula). Unlike the Senate which approved remote voting for their members, the State Assembly did not, which forced Assembly member Buffy Wicks to bring her newborn baby with her to vote on the floor, causing significant blow back for Speaker Rendon from a cross section of interests. Status of UCAN Priority Bills (2 wins, 5 losses – 40%) Below is a list of UCAN priority bills advanced in the 2020 legislative session… SB 1383 (Jackson) re: Paid Family Leave – UCAN OPPOSE Passed in Assembly, enrolled to Governor.

UCAN Ballot Recommendations The UCAN Leadership Group discussed and approved a set of shared positions on state propositions set to appear on the November 3 ballot. Of significant concern is Proposition 15 which proposes to taxes by $11.5 Billion (with a “B”) million on business property, which will ultimately be passed on to small business owners and to consumers; and Proposition 20, which proposes to Proposition 20 would fix the flaws in Prop 47 and Prop 57, approved by voters in 2016 – and would define 51 crimes and sentence enhancements as violent crimes in order to prevent early release. A complete set of UCAN Ballot Recommendations is attached.

Cal/OSHA Issues Employer Fines for COVID-19 Violations During inspections of industries where workers have an elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (known as Cal/OSHA) has fined more than a dozen employers throughout California for not protecting employees from exposure to the virus. “These citation are the first of many to be issued in the coming weeks and months,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Doug Parker — so employers should make sure their workers are protected by reviewing California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy and any industry-specific guidance that applies to their business, and taking the appropriate steps. As previously reported, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) created a COVID-19 enforcement task force consisting of 10 different governmental agencies. Additionally, many counties that passed COVID-19-related urgency ordinances establishing administrative fines for violations of public health orders have stepped up their own enforcement. Most of the employers, who were in the food processing, meatpacking,
heath care, agriculture and retail industries, were cited for various violations, some classified as serious, with penalties ranging from $2,2025 to $51,190. The employers were cited because they didn’t take steps to update their workplace safety plans to properly address COVID-19-related hazards. Some of the violation examples include: • One food processing company didn’t ensure its workers were physically distanced at least six feet apart in the processing area and didn’t install Plexiglass or other barriers between the workers. • Another food processing company didn’t implement procedures to screen employees and visitors arriving at the facility and failed to take appropriate measures when employees exhibited COVID-19 symptoms at work. • After a health care company’s employee became ill with COVID-19, Cal/OSHA found that the company had failed to comply with the Aerosol Transmissible Disease standard that requires proper respiratory protection in health care settings.
Cal/OSHA also cited a frozen food manufacturer and its temporary employment agency with more than $200,000 in proposed penalties each. In addition to not implementing physical distancing or installing barriers between workers, the companies didn’t investigate any of their employees’ COVID-19 infections, which included more than 20 illnesses and one death. The company also didn’t report the COVID-19 fatality to Cal/OSHA. “If a COVID-19 illness occurs, employers must investigate the case to determine if additional protective measures should be taken and report the serious illnesses and deaths to Cal/ OSHA,” Parker said. “Employers should also notify workers of possible exposure and report outbreaks to county public health officials.” At the end of April, after receiving complaints about both companies, Cal/ OSHA found hundreds of employees were exposed to serious illness due to the lack of physical distancing procedures including while clocking in and out, in the break room and while working. The companies also didn’t train their employees on COVID-19
hazards. Since July, Cal/OSHA has conducted close to 8,000 compliance assistance visits to identify and correct safety issues on the spot, and has engaged with more than 40,000 businesses for ongoing outreach and education. California’s COVID-19 enforcement task force inspected many of the agricultural employers in July, and several were also cited for failing to protect their workers from heat illness. Employers can utilize these Cal/ OSHA resources: • Live, online training for agricultural, meatpacking and food processing employers. • Guidance for many industries in multiple languages including videos, daily checklists and detailed guidelines on how to protect workers from the virus. • Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch can help employers and workers who have questions or need assistance at 800-963-9424. Employers are encouraged to seek legal counsel for any health and safety issues. Katie Culliton, Editor, CalChamber

California Matters
High housing costs keep Californians very poor
C
ongratulations California, you’ve done it again. The Census Bureau has once again found that California has the highest real-world poverty rate of any state, 17.2% over the previous three years and much higher than the national Dan Walters rate. The “supplemental” poverty rate includes factors ignored by the outdated “official” poverty rate, such as living costs. And our sky-high living costs, particularly for housing, impoverish at least 7 million Californians. We topped the poverty charts even as California’s overall economy was booming in the 2017-19 period. The state now is mired in its worst recession since the Great Depression, thanks to the COVID19 pandemic, and poverty has surely increased. A new report from the California Policy Lab at the University of California reveals that in August nearly 20% of California’s workers were drawing unemployment insurance California still benefits, calling it has the nation’s “startlingly high.” highest poverty Moreover, even before recession struck, the rate, thanks Public Policy Institute to our high of California, using housing costs, methodology similar to that of the Census which restrict Bureau, had calculated much-needed that as high as our construction. “supplemental poverty rate” may be, roughly the same number of Californians are in “near-poverty.” Combining the two categories means that about a third of the state’s residents are struggling to keep their heads above water. The major driver of California’s high poverty indices is, as mentioned earlier, that too many Californians must spend too much of their incomes on housing due to meager construction. The reasons for the failure to meet housing demand are many but one long-ignored factor — the insanely high cost of building so-called “affordable” housing — is beginning to be recognized. Last year, I wrote about a $28 million cityfinanced project to rehabilitate 74 dilapidated, lowrent apartments in Sacramento and noted that it worked out to $378,000 per unit, markedly higher than the median cost of a detached, single-family home in Sacramento at the time. Last week, two more examples found their way into print. The Los Angeles Times did a deep dive into the tortured history of a low-income housing project in Solana Beach, a wealthy seaside community in San Diego County. Times reporters found that it

Letters to the Editor Support John Hidahl for second term EDITOR: lease vote to elect John Hidahl to a second term as El Dorado County supervisor in District 1. Where is John when you read this letter? He is probably at a meeting that concerns the people of the county or District 1. Or he could be researching issues affecting both. Most likely, he is performing some task that makes life better here in El Dorado County. John is a strong, honest and hard-working leader who is dedicated to serving the community. He is more than worthy of continuing his excellent performance. I have known John for over 20 years. I have also worked with him on matters concerning low cost, quality housing and the issue of homelessness in our county. John serves on many public service boards, districts and commissions. If you are involved with community activities, you have likely seen John at several of these meetings. John is a long-time resident of El Dorado Hills. He is focused on countywide issues but makes sure El Dorado Hills issues are clearly represented to the other four county supervisors who may not always be fully familiar with the unique concerns of this suburban area. John Hidahl strives to maintain and improve our quality of life. He cares and exhibits this care by listening to his constituents, asking questions and thoroughly researching available data. After processing the information he makes responsible, balanced decisions. Vote for John Hidahl to continue quality representation for both El Dorado Hills and El Dorado County.

P
Neau and Saragosa for City Council EDITOR: endorse Jackie Neau and Michael Saragosa for the Placerville City Council. These are extraordinary times and our city faces challenges that demand proficient governance. Both Neau and Saragosa have the experience and skills to ensure our city remains economically vibrant while maintaining critical city services. It is easy to have new ideas for things you’d like to do as a council member, but there will be no money for “fun.” Neau and Saragosa are both equal to the demand of balancing limited resources while strongly protecting our community. Jackie has devoted her time to serving this city for years. As a dedicated member of the Friends of
I
El Dorado Trail, she worked with the Placerville Police Department and the Recreation and Parks Department to keep the trail safe through our city. She has organized countless volunteer teams to limb-up trees and haul out trash to deter illegal camping. She was also instrumental in donating bicycles so our Police Department could more easily police the trail. Additionally, Jackie has served as a recreation and park commissioner for the past nine years, and both she and Michael were dedicated members of the Yes on Measure L Committee that secured more than $40 million to repair and maintain Placerville’s roads and pipes. As Placerville’s current mayor, Michael brings with him years of knowledge as a council member, a former planning commissioner and a member of the Historical Advisory Committee. Michael has extensive connections with our state Legislature, even serving in the Schwarzenegger administration. This has proven a valuable resource in navigating state mandates. He and his wife, Brenda, live in one of Placerville’s historic houses, which translates into a desire to preserve our unique history. Additionally, his calm presence is an asset to the heat of politics, and he leads with common sense and calm resolve. While all of the candidates are nice people, we need experienced leadership — especially now. Neau and Saragosa are the only clear choice. WENDY THOMAS Placerville
Elect Ken Pimlott EDITOR:
W
e need Ken Pimlott as the District 2 supervisor to help save our senior programs, including senior legal services. Although I am retired now my heart is still with the Senior Legal Program. Ken is committed to keeping this great program funded and fully functional. With the budget cuts looming we need supervisors who will fight for these programs.

ept. 23 Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would outlaw sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles in 15 years. He issued an executive fiat. He may be able to effectuate that through his appointees on the California Air Resources Board, but at this time Michael there is no law passed by the California Legislature to this effect. Unfortunately, the state Legislature has a super majority of Democrats, mostly extremely impractical, far-left legislators. The odds are they could back the governor’s radical executive order. The Legislature might even go so far as to prevent people going to Nevada to buy a new gasoline car and registering it with the California DMV. This 15-year plan will only serve to impoverish more Californians or cause a bigger exodus from this state. California residents will spend
more money with auto mechanics keeping old vehicles on the road. There is a question about the legality of this executive order, even if he gets the Legislature to endorse his harebrained scheme. It can be challenged as interfering with interstate commerce. Raffety Garbage trucks and school buses may shift to electric power, but fire engines and ambulances never will. Fire engines need to stay on the job a long time, especially when fighting forest fires. Fire engines also need power to run their heavy-duty pumps. They wouldn’t want to run out of electric power in the middle of fighting a house or commercial fire. Ambulances also tend to be on the go a lot. You wouldn’t want your life to depend on an ambulance that could run out of electric power on the way to the hospital or on the way to an

accident on Highway 50 in El Dorado Hills or the American River Canyon. Ditto for tow trucks. And when PG&E shuts off the power you would want El Dorado Irrigation District and all other water districts to have gas or diesel generators to make sure water still comes out of your tap and when you flush the toilet it gets pumped to the sewer plant instead of backing up into your home. Speaking of expensive mandates, now all new residential construction must include solar panels. That’s just another useless way to drive up the price of homes. Residential solar is not going to keep the power on during a heat wave. It just drives up the cost of new home construction. Better home energy savings comes from extra attic insulation and sold core insulation on the outside of a home. Residential solar may save some money on your PG&E bill, though not as much as it used to, and it won’t keep the lights on when PG&E shuts off the power. The American Legion Hall installed solar panels. It saves
on the power bills, but when the power is shut off it is dark in the hall other than the daylight coming in the windows. The Legion is not the only solar panel owner that realized the panels are hooked up to reduce power bills when the power is on, but that arrangement doesn’t light a residence when PG&E shuts off the power. The governor also wants 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. Look for him to move up that earlier, so we can all suffer through the next heat wave when the Independent System Operator can’t buy power from outside California and can’t find a gasfired generator that can immediately fire up. All this electric car and renewable energy stuff isn’t going to save the climate as long as lightning, people and PG&E wires set off fires and create weeks of smoke all over the state. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

originally was to cost $414,000 per unit, but by the time the developer pulled out after a decade of trying to line up financing and permits, it had exploded to $1.1 million. The Times called it “an alarming example of how political, economic and bureaucratic forces have converged to drive up the cost of such housing at a time when growing numbers of Californians need it.” “California leads the nation in the cost of building government-subsidized apartment complexes for low-income residents,” the Times said, reporting that its “analysis of state data found that apartments cost an average of about $500,000. In the last decade, the price tag has grown 26%, after adjusting for inflation.” Solana Beach is not alone. The Times reported that in Alameda, an island community in San Francisco Bay, a low-income development called

Everett Commons cost $947,000 per unit. Meanwhile, back in Sacramento, city housing officials are still spending too much to get too little. A local newspaper reported that redeveloping the downtown Capitol Park Hotel into tiny, 250-squarefoot units for low-income residents costs more than $445,000 per unit, higher than the median price for a detached single-family home. At $1,100 per square foot of living space, it is double what a luxury suburban home would cost. These are outrageous numbers, driven by bureaucratic tangles, misplaced environmental restrictions and high-mandated labor costs, and unless state officials do something about them, we will never solve our housing shortage and we will continue to have shamefully high rates of poverty.

Empty Bowl supporters and crafters are ready for this year’s special supper to support local and international programs that feed the hungry.
Empty Bowls Supper fil s need in a new way
News release
T
he fall tradition of Empty Bowls is here and the Empty Bowls Committee has planned new ways for community members to participate during this pandemic year. The committee hopes to match the $30,000 raised last year. The Empty Bowls Supper will be held 4-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9. John Sanders of Old Town Grill, a wonderful chef and humanitarian extraordinaire, will make a delicious, threecourse dinner for Empty Bowls. Guests can dine al-fresco at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds or take the meal to go. Menu choices: • Stuffed pork chop with apple almond stuffing served with horseradish mashed potatoes and Fair Market vegetables (or) • Chicken parmesan with penne pasta and Fair Market vegetables (or) • Eggplant parmesan with penne pasta and Fair Market vegetables All meals will start with a field green salad with apples, pears, jicama and feta paired with oregano orange vinaigrette and finished with a personal dessert. The cost is $45 per person. Those interested can order online at eldoradofair.org starting Oct. 4. Artist and student handmade bowls with recipes will be available for sale at the dinner pick-up area. Hands4Hope student volunteers will help with service at the dinner. This organization’s mission is to inspire and empower youth in leadership and service.
As usual the proceeds from Empty Bowls will be split locally and internationally. The Upper Room Dining Hall in Placerville has been serving 300 meals per day to people in need since COVID-19 hit. This is quite an increase, more than double its usual amount. This includes providing meals for Project Room Key located at a Pollock Pines motel and housing homeless folks at high risk of COVID-19. The Upper Room is working with the El Dorado Community Foundation and a new nonprofit, Housing El Dorado, to expand its services to develop and operate winter housing for more homeless people in the community. Internationally, Empty Bowls will support Earth Angels of Ghana for a second year. Its goal has been to build a farm to feed the needy, while teaching people how to farm. Thanks to Empty Bowls 2019, the organization has just about completed a fish farm with a nursery and hatchery that will grow thousands of fish. A barn is almost done as well and will have a small living quarters for the workers/volunteers as well as hold their stock. It is just about fully opened. Earth Angels’ next goals are to fence the property, build a smoker for the fish and add a number of other crops.
Other ways to support Empty Bowls The group will host a variety of mini/virtual events along with fundraising appeals. Later in October and November community members will get to see the wonderful music of
Students, artists and others contribute to the Empty Bowls event each year, creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Achilles Wheel and Coloma Celtic and dance in their homes. The committee will also revisit prior Empty Bowls events, see how services are provided at the Upper Room, visit Earth Angels in Ghana and visit the Andean Alliance in the Sacred Valley of Peru, which Empty Bowls supported for four years, and see its work to build greenhouses in the highlands of Peru. Empty Bowls is sponsored
by El Dorado Peace and Justice Community and the Upper Room. No additional volunteers, soup-makers and bakers are needed this year. To donate artist bowls and art items contact Gwen at gwenyaeger66@gmail.com. To make a monetary contribution to Empty Bowls go to edpjc.org or mail a check to EDPJC, PO Box 543, Diamond Springs 95619.

GROW FOR IT! Our beloved oaks Laurel Rady UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado County
T
hroughout history, oak trees have been revered for their strength, longevity, value and character. If a particular oak exists in your life, it is likely to be associated with a pleasant memory, like the beautiful, old white oak (Quercus alba) with its tire swing at my childhood home in Pennsylvania; or the tall, majestic valley oak (Quercus lobata) near Highway 50’s Prairie City exit that became my first landmark after moving to California and which is one of the only remaining original features in a landscape that has radically changed in the last 20 years. Oaks are members of the beech family, in the genus Quercus, which is native to the Northern Hemisphere. There are approximately 600 species of oaks on earth, growing in the Americas, Asia, Europe and North Africa. Oak trees can grow to 150 feet in height and can thrive in a variety of environments, including riverbank, woodland, chaparral and moist prairie. They grow in the form of both trees and shrubs and can be winterdeciduous, drought-deciduous or evergreen. More than 60 species are native to the USA; about 22 species are native to California and at least six exist in El Dorado County: blue oak, California black oak, canyon oak, huckleberry oak, interior live oak and valley oak. Other oaks are present in El Dorado County but due to their close similarities to other species it is often challenging to correctly identify them. One of the oldest and most widespread trees on earth, oak trees made their appearance about 65 million years ago. It can take up to a century for an oak to fully develop and it can then live an additional 900 years after that. An oak can continue to grow and produce its seeds, known as acorns, well into old age. Growth may not slow until an oak exceeds the 1,000 year mark and some parts begin to die. Although oaks bear male and female flowers on the same tree, they still require the presence of neighboring oaks in order to pollinate. An acorn is a single seed with its nutritive tissue enclosed in a hard shell. Acorns and leaves are coated with tannic and gallic acids which help prevent diseases, fungal growth and insect infestation. Individual oak species can often be identified by the particular shape, size and color of the acorns they produce. Different amounts of acorns are produced each year and scientists are still trying to figure out why. Oaks are defined as Keystone Species in a large number of habitats
(from Mediterranean semi-desert to subtropical rainforest) because they have had — and continue to have — an exceptionally important effect on their surrounding environments. Their leaves, acorns and branches provide nutrition, sustenance and shelter for an estimated 5,000 insects, 80 species of reptiles and amphibians, 100 species of birds and more than 60 mammals. Oaks provide vital benefits to so many other kinds of plants and animals that entire ecosystems depend on them. Without oaks, these ecosystems would be dramatically different, or cease to exist altogether. Resilient survivors, oaks can withstand drought, rocky soil and an amazing variety of inhospitable conditions. Unfortunately the world’s oak tree population is decreasing, due to lawn overwatering and the demand for timber, firewood, charcoal, coffee, cattle ranching and building materials from an ever-increasing human population and a variety of other factors. At this moment, 78 species of oaks — almost 15% of the world’s oak population — are in danger of extinction and an additional four species are deemed Near Threatened. What would our beautiful landscape look like without them? Let’s learn how to recognize, appreciate, care for and sustain the oaks — some of California’s most important, historical and iconic trees — before they are gone.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). It won’t be enough to do the thing once, although doing a thing once a day for the next four weeks will work wonders. Now the question is, how are you going to remind yourself? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your capacity to delight others is large and ever-expanding. You get such a thrill from seeing their smiles that the quest has become, by now, a sweet addiction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not a stretch to say that relationships matter more to you than anything else in life, or even more than life itself, since you gladly give so much of your time and breath to making them run beautifully. CANCER (June 22-July 22). How readily do you forgive? If you do decide that someone needs forgiveness, you’ll take it through a process. Your conscious awareness of this process will help you sort out today’s action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Generous and helpful, you have plenty to offer people. Avoid giving it in the form of advice though, especially the unsolicited variety. Most people don’t even listen to the advice they actually asked for. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Age-old wisdom holds up for good reason. Truth endures. Well over a millennia ago, Plato said, “For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.” This still applies today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are certain people
around who give you such a warm feeling that it’s like the two of you are much better friends than your actual friendship history would suggest. It’s OK because the feeling is mutual. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Laughing is intimacy. When you make someone laugh, they are connecting with you on a deeper than surface level -- a level of truth, pain and vulnerability. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The reason not to participate in gossip is that afterward you’d feel dirty, and the next time you saw the person you’d spoken ill of, you would feel even worse. That’s reason enough to stay out of it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s like all of your life is being run by a scientific inquiry. You’ll make a prediction and then conduct an experiment to see what occurs. Be sure to record it all, because that will ultimately be your key to success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s easier to make a thing happen when you want it so badly that you’re having trouble thinking of anything else. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What gets confusing is when you don’t know if you love a person, or you love your projected fantasy about who that person is. The question will have more relevance today when you’re likely to be thrown by someone’s behavior.

Because of COVID-19, guitars will not be issued to students at this time. Participants are encouraged to purchase a guitar at their nearest local music store and will receive a discounted price by mentioning the Sacramento Guitar Society.

embers of Hangtown Toastmasters voted on Sept. 16 to rename the 58 year old club El Dorado Gold Toastmasters. Club President Frank Mosbacher said the name change reflects a desire to be more appealing to a diverse population of potential members inside and outside El Dorado County. “Many prospective members search the internet for clubs to join,” Mosbacher said. “The name Hangtown has local historical roots and could be a misleading label for today’s population. We welcome everyone who seeks to improve their
leadership and communication skills.” Mosbacher said the club was founded in 1962 at a time when only men could join and the population of El Dorado County was around 30,000. Today, clubs are open to women and men and El Dorado Gold Toastmasters Club is one of two local clubs that serves a diverse population of more than 193,000 people. El Dorado Gold Toastmasters currently meets online the first three Wednesdays of the month. Each meeting offers a structured agenda that provides changing speaking and evaluation experiences.

Let Them Eat Cake — a virtually delicious event Traci Rockefeller Cusack Sacramento Self-Help Housing SACRAMENTO — Sacramento Self-Help Housing, a charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to the elimination of homelessness in the region, presents the signature Let Them Eat Cake fundraiser in a virtual format via Facebook Live (on both the Sacramento Self-Help Housing & Let Them Eat Cake pages) at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1. The community is invited to tune in to learn more about the nonprofit organization, hear from dedicated staff and volunteers who work diligently all year long to make a difference to those in need, plus watch a deliciously delightful cake tasting/judging by Mark S. Allen, seven-time Emmy Award winning co-host of ABC10’s “Morning Blend” and “Extra Butter,” and Lorenzo Garcia, Sac Food & Booze content creator and social media manager. Cakes will be judged in three categories: Most Creative, Most Beautiful and Best Tasting (open to amateur bakers only). The fundraiser supports Sacramento Self-Help Housing and its efforts to identify positive solutions and workable alternatives for local community
members dealing with homelessness or trying to break free from a cycle of unstable living situations. The Sacramento Self-Help Housing organization is a leader in the “housing first” model of homelessness response by providing shared housing. Sacramento Self-Help Housing also provides housing counseling at Friendship Park and homeless outreach navigation in locations throughout the Sacramento area and a “renters helpline,” which includes the region’s fair housing enforcement program to address illegal fair housing discrimination. Tuning into the virtual version of Let Them Eat Cake is free. For those able to contribute to the cause, a donation of any amount is appreciated (a donation of $40 is suggested, which is the typical cost of a ticket to the event). Typically, the Let Them Eat Cake fundraising event is scheduled on or near Bastille Day but this year was moved to fall due to the continuing pandemic. In past years Sacramento Self-Help Housing encouraged the interested community members to provide cake submissions for judging. However, in 2020, and also due to COVID-19
Premier Business Directory
considerations, cakes being judged will be provided by community partners, board members and other individuals affiliated with the organization. Sacramento Self-Help Housing looks forward to accepting delicious cake submissions from the community again next year. For more information visit sacselfhelp.org or call (916) 341-0593.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: November 5, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 28 at 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-840487-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
