Forest partially reopens; Caldor on retreat Thomas Frey Staff writer The order that closed the entire Eldorado National Forest due to the Caldor Fire lifted Thursday. While some areas are open again, much of the forest impacted by the 221,775-acre blaze remains closed under a new order.

Closure boundaries include areas outside of Caldor’s burn perimeter as Eldorado National Forest officials say there is still fire risk. If conditions warrant, forest officials plan to modify the closure boundaries. Otherwise the closure will be in effect through March 31, 2022.

Areas outside of the Caldor Fire closure are only open for day use. Overnight camping and all fires are prohibited.

“The Caldor Fire threat is not over yet,” said Eldorado Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. “I know

Near Desolation Wilderness hotshot firefighters continue to work their way in and waterdropping aircraft are in operation. people have been waiting a long time to get back into the forest but safety is the highest priority as we begin to reopen. We are still engaged in fire suppression and there are many hazards in the burned areas.”

Popular roads within the closure area are Mormon Emigrant Trail, Silver Fork Road and Wrights Lake Road. Ice House and Wentworth Springs roads are open. Portions of Desolation and Mokelumne wildernesses are closed, including part of the Pacific Crest Trail. Kirkwood and Sierra-atTahoe ski resorts are within the closure boundaries.

After holding at 76% containment since Sept.

20, Caldor has retreated a little more as 83% containment was reported Thursday morning.

Firefighters have plans in place to contain what’s left of the Caldor Fire.

Near Desolation Wilderness hotshot firefighters continue to work their way in and water-dropping aircraft are in operation.

“We have a hotshot crew, Trinity Hotshots, that has made their way up to the edge and they’re currently scouting and looking for opportunities to basically perform minimal impact suppression tactics up toward the wilderness boundaries and see if we can close (that) section off,” said Matt Ahearn, California Interagency Incident Management Team 13 operations section chief.

Supervisors up their salaries 9% Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted last week to increase their salaries. It is the first pay raise for the elected postion in 14 years.

Supervisors will get a one-time, 9% pay increase. Their current annual salary stands at $76,876.80 plus benefits.

Human Resources Director Joseph Carruesco, whose department the board instructed to complete a compensation analysis, found that El Dorado County supervisors pay grade is 13.9%, or $10,477 below the median compared to eight other counties’ boards.

The board’s monthly total compensation is $9,192 and their base salary is at $6,406, which is 1.71% below the comparable counties’ median.

PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

Sacramento, Napa, Placer, Solano and Yolo counties’ compensation is above $10,000 monthly. Butte, Nevada and Sutter counties make less than $9,000.

“Supervisors must have been hugely overcompensated 13 years ago because this job grows in requirements all the time,” board chair John Hidahl said. “It isn’t a diminishing job. It is not part time, in my opinion.”

Carruesco presented two options, including the 9% adjustment, on how to increase compensation.

The other option was to match compensation increases to the superior court judges, who get a pay increase every July 1, meaning the board receives whatever the judges’ rate increase is that year, which could range from a fraction of a percent to 4.3%, according to Carruesco.

Judges’ salaries are based on statewide union bargaining, Carruesco said.

According to compensation study data, the board does not receive an auto allowance or social security like the other comparable counties.

District 2 Supervisor Wendy Thomas said she was against the pay adjustment initially but changed her mind when she learned supervisors’ assistants’ salaries are tied to supervisor salaries.

“If we don’t look at increasing this … then n

Thomas Elwyn Carpender

Oct. 6, 1928 – Sept. 4, 2021

Thomas Elwyn Carpender passed away quietly in his sleep on the night of Sept 4 at the age of 92. He was born Oct. 6, 1928 in Smith Flat, Calif., to Marion Jacquier Carpender and Bert Carpender. He was the fourth of five children and lived his entire life in El Dorado County.

Tom attended the one room school in Smith Flat for the first eight years of his education and then attended El Dorado High School where he excelled in sports, playing on the varsity football and baseball all four years. After his day at school he worked at Placerville Lumber to help with his family’s expenses.

While attending El Dorado High School he met the love of his life, Vivian Fox. They were married on June 9, 1951 while Tom was home on leave from the Army. They were married for over 70 happy years.

Tom served in the Army for two years and fought on the front lines of the Korean War. After his Honorable Discharge he went to college on the GI Bill and graduated from Sacramento State College with his teaching credentials. He taught history and physical education at the old Placerville Elementary School on Coloma Street and then moved to Edwin Markham School when it was opened. There he taught physical education and industrial arts (wood shop) and was fondly known as “Coach” by his many students. He was proud that no student ever had a serious injury in his shop full of power tools and was instrumental in influencing many local contractors and construction workers in the choice of their careers. Tom was known to be a strict disciplinarian but he won the respect and admiration of his students and many will tell you to this day what a positive influence he had on their lives.

Tom learned to hunt, fish and garden when he was a young boy and enjoyed these hobbies well into his retirement. He was a member of the Elks Club, the Federated Church, the Retired Teacher’s Association and was a volunteer member of the Placerville Fire Department for many years. He also worked summers for the County Agriculture Department. He was active in People-to-People International, visiting and hosting guests from many countries such as Japan, Germany and France. He and Vivian traveled extensively throughout the United States and rarely missed a wedding or reunion of friends and family.

Tom was very proud of his family heritage. His great-grandfather was William Pitt Carpender, the First Justice of the Peace in Placerville and both the Carpender and Jacquier families owned several mines in the area. He was in possession of several items of historical value from the Gold Rush era and was honored to donate those items to both the El Dorado County Museum at the Fairgrounds and the California State Museum at Coloma.

Tom is survived by his wife Vivian of Diamond Springs and his brother Albert Carpender of Lufkin, Texas. His surviving children are Tommee Briggs, Janie Carpender, Sally Moore and James Roberson who all live locally. He has seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Donations may be made to CalRTA Division 73 Scholarship Fund and mailed to 211 Middletown Road Placerville, CA 95667.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I step into the dark and sit in his chair It is a beautiful warm night with a light breeze There is no smoke in the air The stars are twinkling in the sky Geese play on the Lake and a dog barks in the distance Very Peaceful This is the night God reaches down and takes my Father’s hand And says Come Home With Me

Beloved mother and Blessed woman of God passed peacefully in her sleep. Thank you to Saint Francis and Saint Claire’s Nursing Homes and Bristol Hospice for your wonderful care.

Terry was the second born of six children to Antoinette and Romeo Dubreuil. Terry was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

In 1978 the family moved to El Dorado County where Terry worked at Placerville’s Penny’s Catalog Store after David passed away in 1984. Every year the family returned to Canada in a camper or trailer making many fun family memories. Terry was a sweet, talented artist, seamstress and crafter, who loved America and baseball. Terry is survived by two sisters; Louise Gregoire and Annette Dubreuil, her four children and six grandchildren; Carson, Tristan, Lindsay, Quinn, David and Merrick.

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.

Man pleads guilty in EDH mail theft case News release

SACRAMENTO — Richard Beldon Waters III, 29, of Contra Costa County, recently pleaded guilty to bank fraud and possession of stolen U.S. mail, Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, between April and August 2020, Waters and co-defendant Desiree Brianna Bello perpetrated a mail theft and bank fraud scheme throughout Northern California. The scheme involved stealing U.S. mail from residential mailboxes and harvesting bankcards, identification documents, financial information, checks and personally identifying information for use in fraudulent activity. Waters

and Bello used the identification and personally identifying information of the mail theft victims to obtain money and property from banks and businesses.

On several occasions, Waters and Bello used identification documents and financial instruments of mail theft victims to purchase and lease vehicles from car dealerships. For example, on June 25, 2020, Bello entered a Hyundai dealership in Stockton to lease a new Hyundai Genesis G80 using a stolen identity.

She made an initial $7,000 payment with a check in the victim’s name and also submitted a lease application using the victim’s ■

What Causes It?

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate.

Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

1

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

3

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs.

Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

1

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

2

3

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

“You might give your assistant a higher salary so you would have an even greater salary,” Hidahl said.

“That’s why a lot of counties have been looking at something that takes it to a third party comparative and doesn’t deal with the internal workings of how you set salaries internally.”

County Counsel David Livingston said there is no problem adjusting the board’s compensation as long as it is done via ordinance, which is required in the El Dorado County Charter Article II. The board made a motion, voting unanimously at its Sept. 21 board meeting to direct staff to return with options to increase supervisors’ total compensation to within 5% of the comparable counties median, including 2.5% going toward differed compensation and to explore recommendations for the board’s assistants’ total compensation.

our assistants are stuck and that’s not fair,” Thomas said.

Thomas confirmed a $2.37 per hour differential between the board’s compensation and their assistants.

“I think it sets a dangerous precedent if we tie it to the judicial salary that goes up every year no matter what,” Thomas said. “That’s a difficult thing if the county is in a down year and our employees are not getting raises and we are. That’s not right.”

District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin favored the one-time increase.

“We’re trying to treat everyone the same so no one feels special or left out,” Parlin said.

Hidahl favored matching superior court judge salaries, expressing concern about establishing pay based on what other employees are receiving, which is a violation of the county charter, he said.

Paulsen later shared that in the past the chamber has been given event spaces at no cost, which chamber officials have in turn sold to their members. The district notified the chamber that this year’s event would have only 20 spaces available instead of 50 and asked that the chamber return 50% of its profits to the CSD. “This return of profits would avoid any gifting of public funds,” he said.

He went on to maintain that the chamber denied several CSD attempts to become a premier member and that the district suggested trading event space for a Premier Partner level membership. “Debbie denied this offer,” he said, referring to EDH Chamber President/CEO Debbie

Smeared by Facebook

I

just sued Facebook.

I didn’t want to sue. I hate lawsuits. I tried for a year to reach someone at Facebook to fix things, but Facebook wouldn’t.

Here’s the problem: Facebook uses “independent factJOHN STOSSEL checkers” to try to reduce fake news on their site. That’s a noble goal.

Unfortunately, at least one Facebook “factchecker” is a climate-alarmist group that cleverly uses its Facebook connections to stop debate.

Facebook is a private company. It has every right to cut me off.

But Facebook does not have the right to just lie about me, yet that’s exactly what Facebook and its “fact-checker” did. That’s defamation and it’s just wrong.

The defamation started with the fact-checker, a group called Climate Feedback. They didn’t like that my video reported facts suggesting that government mismanagement probably played a bigger role in causing California’s wildfires than climate change.

Climate Feedback got Facebook to censor this as “misleading” and link to a page that still declares the following quote misleading: “Forest fires are caused by poor management. Not by climate change.”

As if that were something I said.

But I didn’t! I never said that.

In fact, I said: “Climate change has made things worse. California has warmed 3 degrees.”

I’ve worked at NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. All would have fired me if I falsely attributed a quote!

I emailed Climate Feedback’s editor. She didn’t respond. But two of three scientists listed as their “reviewers” agreed to interviews.

Stefan Doerr of Swansea University surprised me by saying he’d never even watched my video!

“If this is implying that we have reviewed the video,” said Doerr, “this is clearly wrong.”

Another reviewer, Zeke Hausfather of The Breakthrough Institute, hadn’t seen the video either.

“I certainly did not write a Climate Feedback piece reviewing your segment.”

After he watched it, I asked, “Is (misleading) a fair label?”

“I don’t necessarily think so,” he replied. “While there are plenty of debates around how much to emphasize fire management versus climate change, your piece clearly discussed that both were at fault.”

Still, neither Climate Feedback nor Facebook will change their smear.

Then things got worse. I re-aired a video on climate change myths titled “Are We Doomed?”

Three climate scientists argue that we are not “doomed” because we can adapt to climate change.

They invited climate alarmists to debate them.

None would.

Climate Feedback got Facebook to throttle that video, too, and declare it “partly false.” Why? Only one of their reviewers agreed to an interview.

Patrick Brown of San Jose State University didn’t ■

They are all hard working, dedicated members of our community and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful City Council.

Water shortage EDITOR:

live in but I can see that it is going away. Example: Look at the monstrosity erected in Town Center across from the theater.

So remember to thank your supervisor and the Planning Commission when your water is rationed and you are experiencing blackouts, i.e. power outages.

HERB STONE Latrobe

EDITOR:

ater. It appears from my cursory investigation that we are nearly out of water. Folsom Lake 40% to 50% low, as well as, Shasta, Oroville and any number of other lakes in the northern part of the state. Soon you will be mandated to limit your water use and I can’t imagine how much worse it will get.

Water is a great need for electricity. It turns the electrical turbines in places like Folsom, Oroville and Shasta as well as others. We also would need water if we were using nuclear power as the water is heated for steam to run the turbines. But I wouldn’t worry much about nuclear power as our state government is in the process of decommissioning all our nuclear power plants in California.

I’m sure Newsom is trying to protect us. The governor sold several lakes to private parties. My first inquiry into this appeared to have involved seven or eight lakes to the best of my knowledge.

We can expect water rationing as we have had it before. We can expect blackouts.

The El Dorado County Planning Commission has been busy requesting approval for more and more single- and multi-family units apparently without regard for the availability of water year round. So, when the blackouts and water rationing begin be sure to write your Planning Commission a thank you letter and also don’t forget your supervisor for his/her part in this problem and the vast concern they have for your welfare.

I had a meeting with my supervisor and he, to my surprise, has been very aware of this issue and has many times voted against turning El Dorado County into Sacramento County. I’ve lived in this state all of my life. Forty years ago I came to El Dorado County because it was a nice rural county to

ith all due respect, I am deeply concerned that you, Dr. Barba, and some of your affiliates are publicly promoting the vaccine as the only source of hope. After all the studies, the research, the data that is now available, you appear to be stuck on and encouraging the vaccine. I fully understand how busy the medical profession has been and how exhausting for you to deal with this COVID-19.

However, of all illnesses, given the power of control COVID has taken over many, it is of utmost importance to make the time to study, in depth, what is really going on. In other words, full truth is in order. I speak not only of the medical side but also the political side of this “pandemic.” There are other alternatives that must be presented to the public for their choice.

Ivermectin is one example. As it is, medical professionals are continuing to misguide, mistreat and pass on “misinformation.” Please, I truly believe it is not intentional but, for all of our sakes, do not continue to pass on fear. I found reliable (information) listening to Doctor Pierre Kory speaking to the Senate after doing in-depth studies.

In the end, we do not want another Nazi-style regime by creating a fear, dividing the people, then punishing those who do not oblige. Like Dr. Kory, I, nay we, beg you to do full research — for the sake of all of us and the future.

The Not So Weekly Daley

Taking it easy when hunting for that perfect job

T

he COVID19 pandemic has negatively affected so many people in so many ways. For some of us, there’s a sense that we may have missed something important or significant or whatever.

All those hundreds and thousands of hours CHRIS spent sitting at home wishing for “something” to happen — something, anything to interfere with and disrupt the overwhelming lassitude and ennui rampant in our lives these days.

(Note: When I write “you” or “we” or “our,” it’s not meant to be personal nor specific. I’m using the terms to bind us together collectively but not exclusively.)

On a personal and specific level, however, I call attention to my own slow-moving quest for meaning and, frankly, simply “doing.”

Like many of us, I’ve needed something to be interested in, something absorbing, something that’s good for the soul as well as

for the common good.

Obviously at my age I’m not considering going back to medical school or astronaut training.

Those things are hard, harder than hard, and I realized I’m looking for something “easy.” Not kindergarten easy but maybe fifth-grade easy.

Finally, acknowDALEY ledging that reality, I remembered when my son Aaron graduated from high school. Forget UC Davis, Sac State, Chico, Cal or San Francisco State.

His first choice for a place of higher learning was “Bob’s Easy College.”

Those three little words 25 years ago introduced me to the magical world of the “Bob’s Easy Family of Industries.”

And recently recalling that long-ago discovery, I applied it to my present circumstances; “Bob’s Easy Careers” is where I should start looking for that thing I’ve been looking for. And that thing is a job. I need a job. That’s where many of us find meaning and belonging and sometimes the worth of simply serving a thing greater than

I need a job. That’s where many of us find meaning and belonging and sometimes the worth of simply serving a thing greater than ourselves. ourselves.

As expected, the B.E.C. application was pretty easy. “Computer programming?” No. “Count?” Yes. “Read a few things?” Yes. Two out of three skills work for most of “Bob’s Easy Careers.”

The supplemental application was a three-part phone interview. “Do you like politics?” Yes. “Do you like current events?” Yes. “Do you like economics or celebrity fashion?” No. And, once again, two out of three was a winner.

I immediately began receiving job referrals from B.E.C. An industrial poultry farm in Kansas has an opening for “production tabulator” (i.e. egg counter). A machine shop in South Dakota needs a conveyor-belt widget watcher. An A-League Team in West Virginia needs someone to call balls and strikes and enter them on a hand-held clicker device.

While many referrals met my skill-

set parameters, none so far appealed to my bigger need to “make a difference,” trite as that may sound.

Then came an announcement from the state of Texas and potentially future ones from Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and others. “Election Auditor.” Must be able to “count,” check. “Read a few things,” check. “No election auditing experience required,” check.

Wow, I got all three. I’m super qualified to audit election results and I’ll be helping my fellow citizens to maintain free and fair elections.

It’s perfect. Imagine me at the audit office: I count for a while, get coffee, read some more ballots; have lunch; go to a couple of team meetings in the afternoon for PowerPoints on counting and reading and “making a difference.”

And here’s icing on that particular

like that my video suggests America can adjust to rising sea levels. He claimed sea levels could rise 200 feet.

“You’re citing an extreme,” I point out. “The (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) doesn’t consider that likely.”

“I don’t know if they assess sea level rise out to 1,000 years,” he responds.

They don’t.

It’s absurd that Facebook lets Climate Feedback censor me over something that might happen in 1,000 years.

Climate Feedback also cited my video for questioning the claim that hurricanes have gotten stronger.

But Brown, Climate Feedback’s own reviewer, said, “That’s wrong that you were criticized for saying that. ... The IPCC (doesn’t) claim that (hurricanes) ... are increasing.”

Later, Brown told us I was cited for “omission of contextual information, rather than specific ‘facts’ being ‘wrong.’”

So, their “fact-check” wasn’t about actual facts?

Still, they rated my video “partly false,” which Facebook defines as content that “includes some factual inaccuracies.” My video did not contain any factual inaccuracies, and they know it.

Climate Feedback and its parent group, Science Feedback, use Facebook to censor lots of

responsible people, such as science writers John Tierney, Michael Shellenberger and Bjorn Lomborg.

Facebook has every right to choose who can use its platform.

But Facebook does not have a legal right to knowingly and recklessly lie about what I say. That’s defamation.

I hope my lawsuit will make them think twice about doing it again — to me or to anyone else.

cake. Texas Gov. Abbott has budgeted $700,000 for the audit. Arizona just paid or (owes) big bucks for its recent audit affectionately now known as “fraudit.” And those auditors had even less election auditing experience than I do. And quite honestly, I will work for a lot less than $700K or even “big bucks.” But it’s not really about the money. Those details are negotiable and I’m confident, because I’m a “Bob’s Easy” guy.

In advance, thanks Bob’s Easy. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Hangtown Saber fencer wins national title

With a gold medal on the line, Chaz Smith was tied 8-8 with Jasmina Denner in the Veteran 50 championship at the USA Fencing Veteran National Championship in Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.

The duo were battling in the 50-59 age bracket and Smith, of the Hangtown Saber Club, is at the tailend of that age bracket sitting at 59.

“A 50 or 51 year old is going to have more pop in their legs than a 59-year-old — it’s just what the passage of time does,” Smith said.

It was the second time the pair had met this year. In their previous meeting — the final of the North American Cup in July — Smith made easy work of her opponent.

“I defeated her easily … but I knew her nerves had taken her over in that bout and I shouldn’t expect the same fencer in this national championship final,” Smith said. “Sure enough, she came out firing.”

The match went back and forth with neither fencer pulling away. With the score tied 8-8, Smith went for the win. She executed a sophisticated, second-intention action that allowed her a onelight riposte to Denner’s attack and finished off the match with an attack in preparation to win 10-8.

Smith broke down sobbing immediately after the win.

“I worked really hard to stay in the moment and not think about the threat of fire near my home in Placerville,” said Smith, who had to evacuate due to the Caldor Fire. “I was

Smith completes the season ranked No. 1 in the Veteran50 national point standings, making her the No. 1 seed on the United States team going to the Veteran World Championships.

Smith’s teammate at Hangtown Saber Club, Claire Hanamoto, 72, finished in fifth place at the Veteran National Championships. Despite calling it a “disappointing finish” she finished the season ranked No. 3 and qualified for the Veteran World Fencing Championships with Smith.

Hangtown Saber Club is opening a new location early October at 1297 Broadway in Placerville. The club will offer instruction in saber fencing for everyone of any experience level as long as they are at least 8 years old and can stay

on task for at least 15 minutes at a time and are able to exert themselves aerobically.

Manning. “We then offered to pay the price for a Premier Partner membership in support of the chamber, which she also denied.

“Instead of taking us up on the 20 spaces and working together, she denied the 20 free spaces and sent out a press release stating that we wanted to take over the event and that we withdrew from the community partnership,” Paulsen continued.

“The reality is that we didn’t end the partnership, she denied it. I’m shocked, to say the least.”

Nonetheless, Paulsen insists the district is still interested in being a

Premier Partner with the chamber.

“We will be exploring different programs to increase the impact of our #KeepItLocal focus,” Manning said.

“On behalf of our Board of Directors and myself, we welcome open dialogue to clear up the unfortunate misinformation shared by Director Paulsen,” she shared with the Mountain Democrat in response to Paulsen’s invective. “The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce has always remained committed to collaborating with all community partners.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What do you want to be known for? The answer to that question has changed many times over the years and is changing you still.

Today brings novel and bright new ideas on the subject.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Space and silence can be a healing gift to a relationship. Long conversations are apt to get off track, so keep it brief, say what you need to say, and then leave and let it sink in.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You shouldn’t have to power through an endeavor on your willpower alone.

Demand something of the venture. Is it exciting enough to pull you forward? Momentum is easy when the job fits with your life and interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The past has your attention like a spell. Break the hold it has over you by freshening up your environment. Different and new surroundings will sing out to you, “Welcome to today!”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is born strong.

Strength is weakness handled proactively. You’ve lifted much in this lifetime and gotten stronger with each effort. You’ll do it again today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve seen plenty around

here, and you’re ready to see what’s over there. This appetite for adventure, being stronger than usual, is going to take some planning to execute, and that will be half the fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve a multifaceted skill set. When you don’t get the chance to use some of these skills for too long a time, you start to feel diminished.

Want a spiritual lift? Seek opportunities to exercise your competence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The inherent chaos of human connection is bound to create a mess sooner or later. Would you really want it any other way? Today’s madness is poetry in motion. It will even seem to rhyme.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old vaudevillians had it right. A three-step process helps the show along quite nicely. First, tell them what you’re going to do.

Next, do it. Finally, tell them what you did. Cue the applause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How do you buy time? In the case of library fines and overdue credit cards, you can buy it with money. But in most other cases, time is bought with charm. Your charisma will get you as much of someone’s time as you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are as worthy of the best things in life as any king, queen or saint. The question is, what constitutes a “best thing”? Love’s gaze tops the list. Currently, the most splendor-per-inch will be found in the eyes of another.

from incident command at Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe.

A hotshot crew has also been inserted in the south slope of the Echo Lake area.

Firefighters on the front lines report they are seeing a “tremendous” amount of heat off the edge of Strawberry Creek between the backside of Sierra-at-Tahoe and Lake Margaret and the

interior is producing a lot of smoke and heat.

“We do have crews working with pumps and hoses, working interior,” Ahearn said.

“They’re removing hazard trees, cleaning up edges and getting going to continue working in deeper to really start securing the edge.

“Overall for the entire incident we’re looking very well,” Ahearn said. “There

is a high potential for success right now. A big priority is to address the evacuation warnings and orders over the next 24 hours and really start focusing on that.”

Ahearn said he has been asked about the Christmas Valley evacuation orders and the threat around the area is much lower now.

“We don’t want to put people back into a dangerous place just to remove them again,”

Ahearn said. “We want to be very cautious and ready for that time and we are very close …”

West of those areas is looking pretty good according to Ahearn who said the primary objective right now is suppression repair.

He said there was a smoke report in the Grizzly Flat area where the fire began Aug. 14 and some resources were sent in to address that.

name, date of birth, California Driver’s License number and Social Security Number. The dealership ultimately approved the application. Bello was able to drive the new G80 off the lot, which was valued at approximately $55,490. Bello committed these acts with Waters’ knowledge and in furtherance of their bank fraud scheme, of which Waters was a knowing participant.

Additionally, on two separate occasions in May 2020 Waters knowingly possessed stolen U.S. mail. On May 11, 2020, he was arrested in Folsom where he possessed more than 300 pieces of stolen mail. Similarly, on May

18, 2020, he was arrested in El Dorado Hills where he possessed five large trash bags of mail that he and his co-schemers had just stolen minutes earlier from a residential complex.

This case is the product of an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Stockton Police Department, the Folsom Police Department, the Concord Police Department, the Pittsburg Police Department, the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office, the Sonoma County Sheriff ’s Office and the California Highway Patrol.

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Artuz is prosecuting the case.

Waters is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on Nov. 29. Bello pleaded guilty in this case to the same charges and is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 25. Waters and Bello face a maximum statutory penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine for bank fraud and five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for possession of stolen U.S. mail. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the federal sentencing guidelines, which consider a number of variables.

Aviation history was in the skies over Mather Airport, including this Bearcat F8F, the fastest non-jet fighter of World War II.

n see more photos online at mtdemocrat.com

Arizona’s Kirby Chambliss, one of the top aerobatic pilots in the world, takes off in his eye-catching Red Bull Edge 540, which has a roll rate of 420 degrees per second.

Owned by Darnell Racing Enterprises of Springfield, Mo., and piloted by Chris Darnell, Shockwave is a modified class 8 truck that shoots fire and hurtles down the runway at speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour—made possible by three jet engines that give the truck 36,000 horsepower.

Airshow

A World War II P-38 Lightning flies in formation with an F-35 Lightning II in a show of military might past and present.

jet trainer. Only 212 were produced through 1966 and it was retired from Canadian service more than 20 years ago. Powered by a single J-85 turbo-jet of just less than 3,000 pounds of thrust (about one-tenth of the F-16’s power), it has a claimed top speed of 486 mph (maybe in a dive). Most of the aerial ballet was at less than an estimated 300 mph. Its climb rate is about 4,200 feet per minute.

Also dazzling showgoers were a pair of stealth F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, an F-35A (Air Force) and a Navy F-35C separately strutting their stuff. Since the F-16 is to be phased out in 2025, the JSF is its replacement.

While slower than an F-16 (an F-35 has a top speed of Mach 1.6 or faster than 1,100 mph), it is more maneuverable, has much more sophisticated advanced electronic warfare systems and holds nearly three times the internal fuel, giving it a much larger combat radius. A squadron of F-16s in a simulated fight against just four F-35s doesn’t stand a chance as they are invisible to the F-16 at 20 miles when the F-35s would launch their weapons. The F-16s would never know what hit them.

The California Capital Airshow had history flying.

Besides the usual P-38 Lightning from World War II, which flew formation with an F-35 Lightning II,

there was an F8F Bearcat (the fastest non-jet fighter of WWII) and a beautiful F4U Corsair. Both were powered by Pratt and Whitney R-2800 18-cylinder radial engines developing 2,000 hp-plus. It is considered the best large radial engine ever, powering other American fighters such as the P-47 Thunderbolt, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, the Martin B-26 and later Douglas A/B-26. The Bearcat was introduced too late to see combat in WWII, but did see combat in the Indochina War. It was smaller, light and fast with a top speed of about 460 mph. Some Bearcats still fly at the Reno Air Races.

The Corsair has a different story. Originally designed for carrier duty, its design called for bent wings (hence the gull wing design) to allow for prop clearance (the prop was more than 13 feet in diameter) without too big (and springy) landing gear that created a situation of bounced landings. Because of bounced landings, the Corsair wasn’t introduced to carrier operations until 1944 after it had been operational as a landbased fighter for two years. Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams flew Corsairs during WWII as it was the aircraft of Pappy Boyington’s Black Sheep squadron.

Packing a powerful punch with six, 50- caliber machine guns, the Japanese nickname for the F4U

was “whistling death” because of the noise made by the Corsair’s wing root oil radiators. Its top speed approached 450 mph.

Veteran airshow performer Jim Peitz out of Pierre, S.D., piloted a F33C Beechcraft Bonanza — a highperformance, single-engine, general aviation aircraft.

His aerobatic demonstration included “hammerhead stalls.” Out of the nearly 17,000 Bonanzas made (they are still in continuous production since 1947, a world record) only 118 of this particular aerobatic model were ever sold and mostly as military trainers. It has a top speed of faster than 200 mph and goes vertical.

Bonanzas are considered one of the best flying aircraft ever made. Even the executive director of the airshow, Darcey Brewer, calls them “her baby.”

Burlington, N.D., aviation entertainer Kent Pietsch flew his 1942 Interstate Cadet. The plane has no starter for its 65 hp engine (hand propping is the starting routine) and in three performance acts, one where he seems to lose an aileron wheel from his airplane while barely escaping a crash, a second where he lands and takes off from a moving pickup truck and the final act with an aerobatic routine where he shuts the engine off at 6,000 feet and lands the airplane at a precise spot on the tarmac.

Monet to Matisse In the age of drastic change that created modern Paris, these artists re-examined their world and ways to depict it, creating new subjects and new perspectives, from plein-air landscapes to scenes of Parisians at leisure.

he Crocker Art Museum is pleased to announce Monet to Matisse: Masterworks of French Impressionism from the Dixon Galleries and Gardens, featuring 50 works by some of the most well-known artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, on view Oct. 3 through Jan. 9, 2022.

The exhibition boasts significant works of art by the most dynamic artists to work in this period in France, including Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse.

From plein-air landscapes to scenes of modern life in Paris, the exhibition illustrates the radical innovations launched by artists known today as Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

Georges Hausmann’s transformation of the French capital from a chaotic web of medieval streets to a more orderly system of wide, tree-lined boulevards coincided with a bustling energy in Paris’ many cafés and parks. Keenly observing the new world around them, a group of artists dedicated themselves to “painting modern life” on location to capture a quick impression of a particular moment in nature. Ultimately known as the Impressionists, the artists organized eight exhibitions between 1874 and 1886, changing the course of art history and revolutionizing the way art was viewed in Paris and, eventually, around the world.

The term “Impressionism” was coined by the artist and art critic Louis Leroy, when he witnessed the first of these exhibitions. Focusing on Claude Monet’s painting, “Impression: Sunrise,” he

“The Apple Tree, Effect of Snow at Éragny,” 1894, by Camille Pissarro (French, 1830–1903), oil on canvas, above. Top art: “Port of Dieppe, Evening,” 1882, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926), oil on canvas. Dixon Gallery and Gardens; gifts of Montgomery H.W. Ritchie. reacted to its seemingly unfinished, hazy evocation of the sun reflected on the sea, finding it the epitome of a type of art he disliked. The artists themselves soon embraced the term, branding themselves “Impressionists.”

Following these artists, a second generation of younger painters pushed the limits even further. Later known as the Post-Impressionists, they embraced new subjects, invented new pictorial structures and applied color theory in unexpected

ways. These remarkable painters in turn set the course of Western art in new directions and laid the groundwork for generations to come, including artists working today.

“We are delighted to be able to share this important exhibition of Impressionist art with the public,” noted the Crocker Art Museum’s Mort and Marcy Friedman Director Lial A. Jones. “Showing a ■

OLSOM — Glimmering flashes of color through falling leaves, rays of sunlight on tiny wildflowers and flowing organic grain on abstract wood — all call to mind the beauty that can be found in nature. Three artists will be featured in the next exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom with Randy Honerlah showcasing his large, stylized paintings, floral watercolors by Judy Lew Loose and Lutz Hornischer’s wood sculptures. The Found in Nature exhibit will be open to the public Oct. 8 through Jan. 13, 2022. Also during this time in the Community Gallery, nature photography from FolPho Photography Club will be on display.

Honerlah said he’s always loved the abstract, the rich colors and the involvement that came with staring into a painting and feeling alive with it.

“Mosaics, stained glass windows and complex puzzle-shapes are an inspiration to me,” shared the artist.

Honerlah’s abstracted landscapes, animals and flowers rely on vivid colors, strength of composition

and texture. His love of these subjects clearly shows in his treatment of light, trees and water that stir the human emotion and place the viewer in an unfamiliar perspective.

“Every shape is hard-edged and is painted two to three times to get that desired opaque look,” Honerlah explained. “The vibration of adjacent colors has always been intriguing.”

Honerlah’s work has been published in books, magazines and newspapers. He has won awards in many local, national and international exhibitions and has achieved Signature Artist standing in the International Society of Acrylic Painters and recently was featured in Artists Magazine.

Loose, an artist with more than 35 years of career experience, is taking watercolors up a notch. Her unique blend of color, light and shadow shimmer with a splash of pointillism. Her vibrant colors give the viewer an opportunity to experience a creative nuance driven by nature’s beauty. Her series of California’s native plants focuses on flowers that may not normally be noticed. n

Blues master coming to Folsom stage Alligator Records News release

A

ward-winning vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter Curtis Salgado, the man NPR calls “an icon” with “a huge voice,” will perform with his band at the Powerhouse Pub in Folsom on Saturday, Oct. 2.

Salgado’s new album, “Damage Control,” is being hailed as the best of his long career. Produced

by Salgado, “Damage Control” is packed with soul-searching, street-smart, vividly detailed, instantly memorable songs.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Salgado, a six-time winner of the Blues Music Award for Contemporary Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year (most recently in 2021), is a one-of-a-kind talent whose music is as compelling as his story. From co-fronting The Robert Cray Band to leading his own band (and recording nine solo albums) to helping transform John Belushi into “Joliet” Jake Blues to touring the country with Steve Miller and Santana, he is a true musical giant.

Salgado is revered worldwide for his ability to wring every ounce of soul out of every song he performs. He is famed not only for his powerhouse live shows and 10 previous albums, but also for his songwriting. In 2018 he won the Blues Music Award for Song Of The Year for “Walk A Mile In My Blues” from “The Beautiful Lowdown.” In total, he has won 10 Blues Music Awards, including the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.

DownBeat calls his songwriting skills “an impressive gift.”

Billboard says Salgado’s music is “inspired and powerful.”

With “Damage Control,” Salgado has created what he calls “a rock ’n’ roll record with lyrics that hit.” The album was produced by Salgado and recorded in studios in Tennessee and California with three different groups of world-class, road-tested blues and roots

Of the title track, he said, “Life is all about damage control ... trouble and then some. It’s about dealing with what gets thrown at you and saying, ‘I ain’t finished yet.’”

Born in Eugene, Ore., Salgado found his calling early on. By his 20s he was already making a name for himself in Eugene’s bar scene with his band The Nighthawks and later as co-leader of The Robert Cray Band, where he found himself sharing stages with many of his heroes, including Muddy Waters, Bobby Bland, Albert Collins and Bonnie Raitt. After Salgado and Cray parted ways in 1982, Curtis

fronted Roomful Of Blues, singing and touring with them from 1984 through 1986. In 1995 he spent the summer touring as vocalist for Santana. He released the first of his 11 solo albums in 1991.

Salgado’s Alligator Records debut, “Soul Shot,” was released in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim. Blues Revue said Salgado’s music is “triumphant, joyful, blues-soaked R&B” and declared him to be “one of the most soulful, honest singers ever.” He followed up with “The Beautiful Lowdown” in 2016 and “Rough Cut,” the stripped-down acoustic album (with guitarist Alan Hager) in 2018.

Rita Hosking Trio brings melodious music to Sutter Creek News release

R

ita Hosking Trio, performing award-winning original country-folk, comes to Sutter Creek Theatre Saturday, Oct. 2 Hosking has just released her latest album “Live From Lockdown,” singing about forest fires, culture clash, dishes, rivers, black holes and hope. An award-winning and prolific songwriter characterized as “here and now” by The Observer, her stories, songs and soul-stirring, country-folk voice are partnered with longtime collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Sean Feder on dobro, banjo and guitar. Together, they deliver what Acoustic Magazine calls “timeless, unhurried elegance.”

Hosking’s style of country-folk has been lauded for story and sense of place and her performances praised with capturing the audience.

“This California girl comes by her mountain music sensibility with true authenticity, with original songs deeply rooted in her family’s frontier experience,” writes Dan Ruby, FestivalPreview.com.

Her fans call her “the real deal.” A descendant of Cornish miners who sang in the mines, Hosking grew up with deep regard for folk music and the power of the voice.

The music she produces today is an amalgamation of her university studies, teaching experience, motherhood and the humanity that has moved her since her childhood in the hard-hitting mountains of Northeastern California.

“She burns with a controlled intensity,” notes Lonesome Highway.

Hosking began recording and publishing in 2005 and has seven studio albums to her credit. “Come Sunrise” won Best Country Album Vox Pop in the 2010 Independent Music Awards and “Burn” was placed in the Top 10 Young Female Artist Releases for 2011 by No Depression Magazine. Her 2013 release, “Little Boat,” was selected by the Telegraph as one of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2013. In late 2015, Hosking released a concept album based on a hero’s journey called “Frankie and the No-Go Road.” The album (and multi-media project) was awarded a “splendid” five stars from one newspaper and called “one of Americana’s finest concept albums” by The Observer.

Southern California’s Fiddlefreak Folk Review has this to say about “For Real,” her 2018 album: “With these songs, she has put her finger on the pulse of America by addressing some of the issues that face us today: fake news, racism, homelessness, environmental destruction and the disconnects created by rampant technology. The triumph of ‘For Real’ is that these tragedies do not overcome her.”

A favorite from the record, her tune “California,” was called “a beautiful love letter to the state” by NPR’s “Insight” host Beth Ruyak and it is now embraced by the California Wilderness Coalition as its theme song.

Feder plays dobro, banjo, various guitars, percussion and sings with Hosking as her primary accompanist. His three decades of music performance have been eclectic with a strong penchant toward everything rooted in rhythm. His music career includes collaborative performance and recording projects with several notable rhythmic and melodic masters such as Arthur Hull (Village Music Circles), Hershel Yatovitz (of Chris Isaak) and Joe Craven. Feder ably serves the groove and melody in order to reveal and kindle the spirit of the music.

Rita Hosking Trio takes the stage at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 2, at Sutter Creek Theatre, 44 Main St. in Sutter Creek. For tickets and more information call (916) 425-0077 or visit suttercreektheatre.com.

The Caldor Fire Bill Roby El Dorado Community Foundation

T

he Caldor Fire started on August 14th at 6:54 pm. The following day, as the massive smoke plume billowed above on August 15th, it was not long before I could see it rising over the treetops to the east.

I watched websites begin posting the evacuation orders.

On Monday morning, August 16th, the El Dorado Community Foundation staff met to execute the Community Disaster Plan. We had planned for such an event for over four years. Through the devastating fires that leveled communities, I learned from our fellow community foundations in Sonoma, Napa, and Paradise that being ready was not an option; it was an imperative.

Need does not wait. It does not go on hold as you discuss or plan.

Directions provided at the Monday staff meeting organized the Foundation response to meet the need. We immediately canceled all scheduled meetings on our calendars to focus entirely on the Caldor relief effort.

The Foundation website was changed.

Resources listed and updated, evacuation sites listed. The following day we posted the first direct and straightforward application for financial aid on the Foundation home page. Notices were sent to our community of nonprofit partners to spread the word; we are here, we are ready.

The applications came in by waves growing each hour as the mandatory evacuation orders came out. Driving into the Foundation office in Placerville, I passed the endless stream of cars, vans, trailers, and RV’s all heading West. Our friends, our neighbors, entire communities were on the move.

Hotels, motels, parking lots, and churches quickly filled, all the way to Sacramento, still the mandatory evacuations expanded.

As the exodus continued, the Foundation reached out, contacting our donors, the givers, the Foundation issued a call to action. They answered by the hundreds, then the thousands.

Without delay, the Foundation started issuing financial relief, a process that we have not stopped for four straight weeks. Over 4,700 households representing more than 15,000 persons have received $1.4 million. And we have not stopped as the Foundation moves from relief to recovery. The Foundation will release another funding stream of over $500,000 to those who have lost their homes and find the need for shelter that will not be met with insurance coverage.

Relocating will not be easy as we are all aware of the housing shortage in our county. The task before us is daunting, however daunting does not matter. It must be done.

To the staff of the Foundation, I am so honored to do this work alongside you. Kathy Haven kept the list of those applying concise and correct, Avis Jolly for the determination to

solve every problem, Chris Ringnes for answering my nightly phone calls with more communication needs and website changes, Sakina Madraswala, the Foundation CPA for the stewardship of every penny donated. Lois Roberts communicating with donors here and far beyond the borders of El Dorado County, Hilary Mulligan, for managing the flow of thousands as they came and were welcomed to the Foundation financial relief locations. These individuals never stopped meeting the needs that never wait.

There are so many others to thank. I fear if I start to list, I will leave someone out; however, I know how deeply I, and these places we call community, appreciate everything you have done and every sacrifice you have made for people you may never meet. We have met them, standing in lines to waiting to be assisted, each so grateful for your kindness, caring, and generosity. You all deserve a standing ovation for your dedication to doing what you could because you cared. Each of you are part of us now, one family of community.

The companies, corporations, and global organizations that gave showed their commitment to El Dorado County, not in words but in their concern, their outreach, and their giving – thank you.

It is easy to say you support the community; doing it matters.

To the El Dorado Community Foundation Board of Directors, you are the game-changers.

The keepers of the trust and the leaders of this community from El Dorado Hills to South Lake Tahoe, from Cool to Somerset. Thank you for trusting in the vision we all share.

To everyone that donated, the thousands of you that gave, thank you doesn’t seem enough.

I summarize this with one particular occurrence that means so very, very much to me.

As we were handing out the financial relief cards to 300 that particular day, out of the corner of my eye stood an older woman. She was not in the line of those that had registered; standing aside, she appeared unsure. I walked over to her and asked if I could help. She looked down at the ground, silent in thought. Looking up, she looked around her and then leaned towards me. “I would like to help. I don’t have much…is this ok?” as she handed me a $20 bill. I bit my lip as I could manage only a nod of yes.

I will never forget her.

The El Dorado Community Foundation has not charged any fee, unlike many relief organizations, to the donations we have received. 100% has gone back to the community and will continue to. The hundreds of hours we have put in are covered by the Foundation operations budget overseen by the Foundation Finance Committee.

We have more to do; we will be there as we focus now on new sets of challenges, undaunted, determined, and as always, ready.

performances scheduled Feb. 18 through March 14, 2022.

Synopsis It’s Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gumsnapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals along with innumerable school and community productions place “Grease” among the world’s most popular musicals.

This will be Imagination Theater’s fourth production of “Grease.”

Portland’s Waterfront Blues Festival, The Chicago Blues Festival, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival, The San Francisco Blues Festival, Memphis’ Beale Street Music Festival, Denver’s Mile High Blues Festival as well as on The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise. Internationally he’s toured in Saipan, Guam, Canada, England, throughout Europe, Brazil, Chile, Panama, The Philippines, Thailand and Hong Kong. According to Blues Revue, Salgado’s performances “start at excellent before segueing into goose bumps, ecstasy and finally nirvana.”

Salgado has always lived life to the fullest, but he’s also faced adversity, overcoming multiple health challenges. Both of these things inform “Damage Control.” He battled back from liver cancer in 2006 and lung cancer in 2008 and 2012. In March 2017 he underwent quadruple bypass surgery. He’s not only come back stronger each time, he’s also become a prolific songwriter, going from writing a few songs per album to writing or co-writing full albums of original songs.

“You can dance to them,” Salgado said of his songs, “but the words have to carry the weight.”

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 13, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 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.

Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the

property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $179,981.28 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.

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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-211594. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

“As a watercolor painter, my intention is to give these small flowers a voice from an emotional reference,” the artist said about her work.

Loose can amplify the drama of the moment in time. Her ability to see color in all facets of painting is apparent in her professional background in fine art. She holds a BFA degree from the prestigious Pratt Institute located in Brooklyn, New York, and attended the Academy of Art College in San Francisco for two years.

“My contemporary sculptures and abstract wall art are inspired by nature, life and the uniqueness of the reclaimed wood I use,” said sculptor Hornischer. “l enjoy giving old wood a fresh start and hope that my work inspires people to find a new awareness, purpose and joy in their own life.”

His sculptures leverage the architectural qualities of the wood by laminating wood boards into larger blocks, sculpting organic shapes and exploring dynamic grain and natural color patterns. The old wood has scratches, cracks, knots and other imperfections that are like real life.

Hornischer said he feels every piece of wood is like a person, with its unique character, challenges and strengths.

He has had numerous exhibits throughout California and his work can be found in public and private collections.

In the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma the photography club,

FolPho will have on display a fantastic exhibit of nature themed photographs including trees, flowers, landscapes and more, Oct. 7 through Jan. 13, 2022.
