Supes to clarify role of Human Rights Commission

Honoring a hero

Dawn Hodson Staff writer

The community turned out to show their support for fallen El Dorado County sheriff’s deputy Brian Ishmael’s family and the EDSO Honor Guard Saturday as Sierra Vista Winery’s Hero Run 5K fundraiser, postponed for months due to COVID-19, was finally able to take place. While the 5K couldn’t take place as originally planned, attendees were able to stroll through the vines, wine, dine and dance — all in honor of one of EDSO’s finest, Brian Ishmael. Event manager Lynzee Schram, retired California Highway Patrol officer Stu Elliott, EDSO Lt. Jeff Leikauf and Sierra Vista owner Jim Czachorowski, from left, photo above, hold a custom-built thin-blue-line wood flag that is also a challenge coin holder. The center of each star is decorated with .40 caliber casings, the same caliber of ammunition used by law enforcement. Elliott handcrafted the flag for the silent auction; one of many special items donated to help raise funds. Sierra Vista created two special wines for the event — Fallen Hero White and Fallen Hero Red, named not only for deputy Ishmael, who was killed in the line of duty Oct. 23, 2019, but also for the grapes used to make the wine, perfectly fine fruit left behind when it fell to the ground during harvest. To honor Ishmael’s badge No. 1689, the winery will donate to the Ishmael family $16.89 for each bottle of wine sold and $168.90 for each case sold.

After an hour-long discussion on defining the role of the county’s Human Rights Commission, the El Dorado Board of Supervisors voted to have staff and members of the board draft a new ordinance that will clarify the commission’s mission. Previously Supervisor Lori Parlin recommended updating the Human Rights Commission’s bylaws and creating a formal process for issues brought before it before putting any issues on its agenda. The commission subsequently held meetings during which members discussed potential changes to bylaws, a draft work plan and its role in the county. Included in the discussion, and as currently stated in the ordinance establishing the Human n

Ronald Halcos

March 12, 1933-Sept. 27, 2020

Ronald Halcos, born in Sacramento, Calif., passed away peacefully Sept. 27, 2020, in Boise, Idaho. There will be no funeral service for Ron. Ron was a Navy veteran and will be laid to rest in the VA Cemetery located in Boise, Idaho.

Vincent Barisic

Oct. 30, 1941-Sept. 25, 2020 Vincent Barisic peacefully left this Earth the morning of Sept. 25, 2020. His life partner in marriage, Sandy, was with him when he passed. They married in 1964 and for the past 20 years resided in Placerville, a tiny town sequestered in the former Gold Rush foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The people and history of this area appealed to their spirit of adventure and small-town closeness found in this mountain community. Born Vincent Von Thomas Barisic on Oct. 30, 1941, he was the first-born of three children to Vincent and Evelyn Barisic then living in Alhambra, Calif. Vince, as he was known by all and Vinny to those closest to him, was a self-made man. Leaving high school before graduation in 1959, he enlisted and served four years in the United States Air Force as an Air Policeman. During his service he studied and received his GED and ultimately his high school diploma in 1962, of which he was very proud. After realizing he was not able to serve as a police officer in civilian life due to a physical disability and, with he and Sandy now married, he took on any job he could find to support them. Hired by a large, commercial publishing company in Signal Hill, Calif., he started as a laborer sweeping the plant floors and cleaning toilets. Over the next several years he rose to become the plant manager. Later in his career in the printing and allied industries he became a highly successful regional sales manager for several large firms including the national U.S. Print Company. He did this through working hard and smart, giving loyalty to his employers and by treating all he encountered with respect no matter their circumstances, expecting the same in return. This was how he lived every day, with his wife at his side. At the age of 46, while living in Newbury Park, Calif., he suffered a major heart attack that ultimately cost him the loss of one leg. Being the hard driving and success oriented man he was, he never let that slow him down, continuing to work and for fun, joining, learning and participating with their local square dancing club for a number of years as the one-legged man who could dance up a storm. Ultimately, coming to grips with the physical realities and limitations life deals us, he and Sandy decided that an early retirement from some of life’s pressures was in order. That is when they scouted out Northern California and decided upon moving to what would become his final home on Earth, in Old Hangtown, as Placerville was once known. They remained active socially with Vinny joining and participating in The El Dorado Chapter of The Early V8 Ford Club, at one point serving as its president for 10 years. He served with his life partner Sandy participating with him in many ways. She remains as the club’s treasurer. His pride and joy of all his auto collecting and refurbishing was his black ‘51 Ford Coupe, which he drove everywhere he went until health issues suggested it time to let someone else enjoy “his ride.� Throughout his life, Vince was never one to ease up on the throttle of living. He enjoyed reaching out, meeting and helping others from all walks of life. He was a straight-shooting man with no pretenses about him. If you ever had met him and he found you to be honest and caring, you had a friend for life in him. Vince and Sandy never turned away a person in need. Over the years, they took in a number of others going through a rough patch in life and needing a place to recoup before moving on. All he and his bride ever asked was for those helped to pass it on. In the mundane world of day to day living, he was the proverbial “salt of the Earth.� A great man, in humble and uncomplicated ways. In addition to Sandy, Vinny leaves behind many who will miss his standard greeting, “And what are you doing this fine day?� Among those remaining to remember him are his brother Jim and his wife Linda; their sons David (his nephew)and wife Ann; Brett (Whitehead) and wife Jennifer; Mark (Whitehead) and wife Heather and Jim and Linda’s grandchildren Tyler, Owen, Andrew, Katie and Ethan; sister, Bonnie (Miller) and brother-in-law Lester Miller, her daughter Jessica (Trapp) and Jessica’s sons Justin (Lenahan) and Matthew (Ingles); sister-in-law, Midge Treadway and husband Lynn; their children daughter Darcy (Tropila) and her two daughters Sydney and Alyssa; daughter Dana and son Rusty and wife Debbie and their son Owen and daughter Samantha; the dearest of lifelong friends, Butch Young and Judy Marr of Las Cruces, N.M.; and, Karen King of Bellingham, Wash. To all of you not mentioned, know how special you were in his life. Private family memorials are now pending. If you wish to contribute to any organization, in his name, please consider Marshall Hospital, in Placerville. These past years the hospital and its staff were a Godsend for Vince and his wife. They took wonderful care of him until his last day.

LeRoy Francies

John Drummer

LeRoy Francies passed away July 20, 2020, after a severalyear battle with Alzheimer’s. He was born in 1935 and grew up in Sacramento, Calif., the fourth of four children. He graduated from Grant Union High School. In 1956 LeRoy met the love of his life, Joyce Vanderbeek. They remained married for 64 years up until LeRoy’s passing. He had to get written permission from his mother to marry at that time because he was only 20. LeRoy and Joyce had two sons, Scott and Dean. LeRoy worked on the powerhouses for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District for 28 years until his retirement. LeRoy’s other passion (besides his wife) was antique cars. He owned and restored beautifully a 1915 Model T. This was commented to be the best running Model T many people had seen. He also owned a 1906 Maxwell for 48 years. He had a 1910 Buick, a 1911 Mitchell and a 1911 IHC. LeRoy was a man of many and vast talents. He was always there and could be counted on to be reliable and stable. He could do just about anything. His hallmarks were his high level of competence and his loyalty to his family and to any obligation he took on. His dry humor and wry smile will be missed greatly by his family and friends. LeRoy is survived by his wife Joyce; sons Scott (Diane) and Dean; three grandchildren Erin, Josie and Rowan; and his two sisters Doreen Dill and Lavonne Kundert. We love you and miss you, LeRoy, may you Rest In Peace and have fun out there with your cars wherever you are!

John Merrill Drummer was born July 25, 1949, in Washington, D.C., as the second child of Margaret and Joseph Drummer. Part of his childhood was spent in Japan where he enjoyed playing in the fields with his brother Gary and developed a love of Japanese food. On return to the United States, the family moved to Moreno Valley, Calif., where his next two siblings were born. He went to Moreno Valley High School and graduated in 1967. In high school, he was No. 22 on the football team, a lucky number for the rest of his life. He attended the University of California, Davis, and graduated with a bachelor of science in 1971. While an undergraduate, he began to work for the Office of Medical Education in the first year of the medical school. He loved the medical school, students and medical education. He remained with the medical school for 50 years, retiring in 2018. He never missed a medical student graduation from 1968-2020. He is the beloved husband of his wife Lynn Drummer and children Chris Wright, Shanon Kunkle, James Wright; six grandchildren; Joshua, David, Felecia, Kimberly, Jasmine, Richerd; and five great-grandchildren; Joshua, Charlie, Ce’Nedra, Tristan and Scott. He is survived by his brother Randyl Drummer, sister June Elizabeth Bennett and their children Emily, Kyle, Julia, Elizabeth, Amber and grandchildren Joseph and Juliet. A Celebration of Life and Memorial is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 9, at noon on Zoom sponsored by the UC Davis School of Medicine.

Officials search for a missing New Jersey man who went missing Aug. 10 at Lake Tahoe.

Missing boater found at record depth at Lake Tahoe Tahoe Daily Tribune The body of a missing boater has been recovered from the depths of Lake Tahoe in what authorities are calling the deepest recovery ever made in the United States and Canada. The body of 29-year-old Ryan Normoyle, of New Jersey, who went missing Aug. 10, was recovered Sunday from a record depth of 1,565 feet according to a nonprofit group that specializes in underwater body recovery. The previous deepest recovery at Lake Tahoe was in 2018 at a depth of 1,062 feet, said a press release. Normoyle went missing after renting a boat from a South Lake Tahoe rental company. His boat washed ashore on Tahoe’s east shore in Glenbrook, Nev., that evening and Normoyle was nowhere to be found. South Lake Tahoe Police started a missing persons investigation with the

help of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and found that Normoyle had recorded himself jumping off the boat, but the boat was left slightly in gear and moving forward at a slow speed. Authorities think Normoyle couldn’t swim fast enough to catch up. Normoyle’s phone captured GPS data and provided a location to start a search. Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office’s Marine 7 and Washoe County Sheriff ’s Office’s Marine 9 responded and deployed remote operated vehicles to search the area. Officials said the marine units worked the area heavily for several days with no luck. A UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center team provided additional data on the water currents and conditions the day Normoyle went missing. The TERC team also used its unmanned submarine to ■

Auditor-Controller Joe Harn wrote the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors this week to report to that the county’s sales tax revenues dropped 5.4% in the quarter ending June 30, 2020, when compared to the same quarter in 2019 and adjusted for economic data. Harn wrote the supervisors to provide context and more information to a report the supervisors recently received. “During the budget hearing on Sept. 18 it was reported to your board that sales and use tax went up 11.5% when comparing the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2019,” Harn wrote. “The report was on a

cash basis and accurately reflects cash collections for the second quarter. “When looking at cash collections for the second quarter it is important to review the first quarter 2020 report,” he continued. “First quarter 2020 collections were down because approximately 400 businesses in our county did not pay or file sales tax returns when compared to prior quarters. The state authorized many of these businesses to file and pay 90 days late. Therefore, a large number of first-quarter sales tax transactions were received in the second quarter. Accordingly, second-quarter cash receipts were artificially high. When adjusted for aberrations in the timing of collections caused by COVID-19,

California Matters

Is Newsom serious about banning gaspowered cars?

G

ov. Gavin Newsom flatly declared earlier this month that: “In the next 15 years we will eliminate in the state of California the sales of internal combustion engines.” It was the latest example of Newsom’s Dan Walters fondness for headline-grabbing pronouncements of “big, hairy, audacious goals.” The classic example was his flat campaign declaration that he would solve California’s chronic housing shortage by building 3.5 million new homes. That was impossible, as anyone familiar with housing issues could attest, and after his election Newsom backed off, calling it an “aspirational” goal. Actually, housing production has declined during his governorship. The governor’s declaration that by 2035 new car buyers in California must buy only “zero emission vehicles” seems to be in the mold of his housing promise. In fact, his executive order does not command that it happen, but rather states, “It shall be a goal of the state that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zeroemission by 2035” and directs the California Air Resources Board to figure out how to do it “consistently with Is Gov. Gavin technological feasibility Newsom serious and cost-effectiveness.” Even if he’s serious about banning about it — and one is sales of internal never certain that he combustionis — there are immense hurdles to overcome, powered not the least being vehicles, or is Californians’ obvious this just another reluctance to embrace battery-powered ZEVs impractical goal? as their primary motor vehicles due to their cost, relatively small size and limited range. While California accounts for about half of the ZEVs on American roads, they are still fewer than 2% of the nearly 30 million cars and light trucks in California. And despite state and federal subsidies, they are a fraction of the state’s current goal of having 1.5 million in use by 2025. Newsom’s declaration, and a request to the Legislature to phase out fracking to produce oil and natural gas, cheered environmental advocates who want California to be bolder in reducing its emissions of greenhouse gases. He blamed global warming for the destructive wildfires that have swept through the state this year. However, business leaders, particularly those in the affected industries, warn about the pitfalls of trying to wean California’s economy off hydrocarbons. California is one of the nation’s leading producers of oil and gas, particularly since fracking regenerated older fields, and the state consumes immense amounts of both fuels to not only directly power transportation but to generate the electricity that ZEVs must have. During recent hot spells, as California’s air conditioners drove electric power consumption to levels requiring blackouts, natural gas-fired power

Letters to the Editor Elect new EID directors EDITOR: l Dorado Irrigation District water rates have surged a staggering five times the Consumer Price Index since January 2010 under EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie; water rates are up 102% while the CPI has increased just 20%. Furthermore, under EID’s current board there is no rate hike letup in sight. EID director incumbents George Osborne and Mike Raffety already have approved another 17% commodity water rate hike for January 2021. Abercrombie claims his five times CPI rate hikes are “modest.” And Osborne and Raffety claim they have saved the district millions of dollars yet their voting record proves otherwise Capital projects wind up costing tens of millions of dollars more than initial spending budgets. Employee compensation continues to increase three times faster than the CPI. Osborne increased employee pensions 35% retroactively, causing more than $100 million of EID unfunded pension and retiree medical liabilities. Debt recently was increased to $360 million, up from $106 million when Osborne joined the board. More than $100 million of EID’s debt is for capacity expansion for new development financed by extra rates to current ratepayers. Yet instead of holding Abercrombie accountable for his dreadful fiscal performance, incumbent directors Osborne and Raffety recently voted to extend Abercrombie’s employment contract by three years, adding 20% of built-in salary increases. EID directors are supposed to ensure sound management and place ratepayer interests first — not be a rubber stamp to management mediocrity and fiscal recklessness. When current directors shirk their responsibilities why have an EID board at all? Ratepayers who are fed up with being “rate hike patsies” to pay for Abercrombie’s perpetual spendthrift spending have opportunity to vote for new EID leadership Nov. 3. In Division 1 vote for Sue Taylor to “Stop runaway rate hikes.” In Division 3 vote for Craig Schmidt and “Ratepayers first.” GREG PRADA Cameron Park

Swamp EDITOR:

M

s. Thomas writes comically that Trump’s promise to drain the swamp was not an anti-corruption move but a real estate

deal. All kidding aside, it’s quite a swamp to drain. You have people like Page and Stzrok who were supposed to be working for the taxpayers and instead were pushing a political agenda and cooking up “insurance policies” in case people made the “wrong” choice at the ballot box. And while we are on the subject of corruption, Ms. Thomas, let’s look at Joe Biden. His corruption goes back a long way. The MBNA credit card scandal, all the taxpayer money his brother made building housing in Iraq, his son being paid $83,000 a month to do nothing but provide access to Joe, not to mention the billion-and-a-half the Chinese invested with Hunter Biden’s company. The Chinese have a good amount invested in Biden, which is probably why he says Russia is the problem and China is just a “competitor” despite the fact that they are increasingly belligerent and now have a navy bigger than ours. Waders won’t do, Ms. Thomas. You will need a wetsuit to wade through the left-wing corruption that envelops Washington. GEORGE ALGER Placerville

Why do people feel compelled to cross into private property to vandalize or tear down those signs, especially when there’s a $2000 fine for doing so? This is also called trespassing. It must be sign envy. Let’s just accept the fact that every election year campaign clutter is part of the landscape. If you don’t like it look the other way and leave them all alone. AFTON TUVESON El Dorado Hills

EDITOR: oday I tried to send an email to Gov. Newsom after once again being offended at his statements that our wildfires are caused by climate change. I don’t know if my email was accepted because it seems you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get a message to our governor.

The Not So Weekly Daley

Let the Supreme Court nominee’s inquisition begin

M

y best Washington, D.C., source just sent me the questions and answers from the secret practice sessions for the upcoming hearings between Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and GOP senators from the Chris Judiciary Committee. Because they were secret sessions, I will identify the senators as No. 1 through No. 8. The nominee will be represented by her initials, ACB. No. 1. Your honor, who do you like in the Big Ten playoffs: The Fighting Irish, Notre Dame or that big Catholic

University in Indiana? ACB. I’ll take Notre Dame by 12 and a half. Thanks for such a tough question. No. 6. Judge, do you honestly believe women and men are 100% equal? ACB. Well, that’s pretty hypothetical, but I’d say 87 is about right. Daley No. 3. What’s included in the other 13%? ACB. About 9% is that women aren’t (I don’t want to say smart enough) — but you get it — to know and make the right decisions about their own health issues. No. 5. And the other 4%? ACB. Of course. Maybe 3 is that

they don’t really understand the Old Testament. The last 1% is about not being totally on board with barbecue. No. 1. Back to Notre Dame. Is it the best school in the whole universe? ACB. No doubt about that Senator No. 1. No doubt at all. No. 4. What about Harvard or Stanford, MIT or Oxford? ACB. Meh! No. 7. Thanks for being you, Judge Coney-Barrett. I love you. ACB. I love you too No. 7. Ya big silly, ya. No. 2. Where would you go to really engage or “light a fire,” so to speak, under the women of America? ACB. That’s an easy one senator. Salem, Mass. Psych! No. 8. Judge, does the president pay his fair share of taxes? Do you?

ACB. Do I look like an IRS bookkeeper? I’m a JUDGE. And, yes, I do. No. 2. Complete the following: “Women should stay barefoot and pregnant in the ...“ ACB. The “kitchen.” Yay, I like that one. No. 1. Any final remarks your honor? ACB. Yes, thank you senators one through eight. I really do think “Women should stay (you know what) and (you know what) in the (you know where.)” See you in court! BTW, that’s my favorite judge joke. Thus ends the secret practice questions and answers from my best D.C. source. Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

Predictably critical as that statement may be, it makes valid points about the practical and socioeconomic challenges of doing what Newsom insists will be done. Finally, there’s the political/legal question of whether California can do it. It would require the federal government to continue California’s “waiver” from federal air pollution rules and that would probably hinge on whether Republican President Donald Trump is re-elected or is defeated by Democrat Joe Biden.

The Georgetown Divide Public Utility District reported Sept. 23 that its release of 2,000 acrefeet of water from Stumpy Meadows Reservoir to be transferred to the Westlands Water District has been successfully completed. District staff initially projected water storage in

Stumpy Meadows would be at 50% of capacity at the end of September but due to late-season rains and other factors, the reservoir level at the end of September is expected to be 66% of capacity. The 55-year average end-of-September storage level is 73%. This one-time temporary water transfer will bring in $655,000 in revenue for use solely for deferred capital improvement projects.

search and scan the bottom of the lake with no success. Normoyle’s family reached out to Keith Cormican from Bruce’s Legacy, a nonprofit that specializes in underwater body recovery, and he agreed to help. South Lake Tahoe police initiated another search Thursday, Sept. 24, with assistance from Douglass and Washoe County sheriff ’s deputies and South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue and found Normoyle Saturday in almost the deepest part of the lake that at its bottom is 1,645 feet deep. Authorities said technical issues delayed the recovery until Sunday. Cormican, founder of Bruce’s Legacy, said it is the deepest recorded recovery in the United States and Canada. Officials say the recovery would not have been possible without the support of the Normoyle family and the partnering agencies.

policy changes at the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and other factors, sales tax revenues were down 5.4% for the second quarter.” A review by a major industrial group indicates that during the second quarter, the first reporting period fully affected by the state’s shelter-in-place order, internet sales and sales at food and drug chains were up dramatically. Auto, building and construction industry sales were flat. Fuel sales were down 42%. But the most ominous number was a drop of more than 40% in sales at local restaurants. “Many restaurants and other small businesses are unlikely to survive under the current state restitutions on economic activity,” Harn said. “When these small businesses are forced to close, our county will not only be losing tax revenues on a permanent basis, but jobs.”

location. No one prompted them — they saw someone needing help and acted. I love that sense of community and neighbors helping neighbors — it’s what makes Placerville a special place to live. What needs fixing? PG&E needs fixing and I will continue to look for solutions that give our city and region more control over our energy future — these blackouts hurt our businesses and place our entire community in danger, especially our senior and health-compromised residents. Our roads and pipes still need fixing and Measures H and L are helping us toward this goal. Currently we are repaving Mosquito Road and Spring Street and are close to finishing Upper Broadway. Schnell School Road and the intersection at Wiltse Road will also be repaved and fixed. Pacific Street, part of Canal Street and Ray Lawyer Drive are a number of completed paving projects. Spring and Mosquito are big but we need to keep going until every road in Placerville is in driveable shape. What do you think is a good, workable solution to the traffic mess that occurs due to the three signal lights on Highway 50 adjacent to downtown during weekend and holiday peak travel hours? As mayor this year my council colleagues and I see the solution to Highway 50 traffic as multitiered. We are installing temporary signage along Highway 50, discouraging traffic from taking local roads and temporarily made Coleman Street one-way during weekends to keep traffic from cutting through residential neighborhoods. Next year we will pilot a project keeping traffic lights “green” through Placerville. Any change that makes a real difference takes state highway funds. We have huge numbers of people from other counties using Highway 50, so the solution cannot be paid for by just our residents. We are going to have to think big on this problem and get as much public input about solutions as we can before choosing a solution. I commit to the voters, I will do everything in my power to make the chosen solution happen. How do you feel about the noose that is reminiscent of the mid-1800s, when the city was known as Old Hangtown, remaining on city stationery, historical street signs and other cityowned property? I don’t believe “Old Hangtown” should be removed or erased. “Old Hangtown” is simply a nickname referencing a short but important part of the city’s history during the Gold Rush. As to the noose, the City Council has said we will have a

Commission

conversation with the community post-COVID-19, when we can actually meet in-person and I support this course. This dialogue is not just about the noose but how our diverse community can talk about issues such as race and history. One note the community may not know — the current logo, with the noose, is not the actual official City Seal. The City Seal is actually a depiction of a tree, a miner and a bear. There is no noose. The seal may actually pre-date the logo now used on stationery and city property and I’d support the use of the seal on city stationery. As a city leader, how would you deal with our ever increasing homeless population? The homeless situation is a statewide problem made worse by state propositions. You can trace the increase in homelessness to these initiatives and the 9th Circuit Court ruling allowing overnight “camping” when cities/counties do not have beds for homeless. Until we have beds, we cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances. I support Sheriff John D’Agostini’s navigation center model for our county’s homeless population. Only 24/7 care, in my opinion, is the right course for segments of the homeless population with alcohol, drug and mental health issues. Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced the closure of a state prison by 2021. If the state is serious about combating statewide homelessness, the administration should convert the prison to a mental health facility for the homeless. A new mental health facility would reduce homelessness — outpatient services have failed and billions spent, only to see the homeless population increase. What else would you like our readers to know about you? I immediately knew I wanted to live in Placerville the first time I drove through the city 15 years ago. Two-weeks later my wife and I came back to Placerville and purchased one of the historical Victorian houses in town. We cherish the history of this town and even though our 131-yearold house takes constant TLC we are committed to preserving it. As mayor I have tried to foster a fair and transparent City Hall and I believe we have done so in trying times. I pledge to do all I can to save local businesses and jobs during these shutdowns. Also, I want the next generation to not have to leave Placerville to find work or housing and I am committed to creating more affordable housing that blends with our community and proactively seeking new business growth with good wages so people can live and work in our great town.

Rights Commission, one of its responsibilities is, “To inquire into incidents of tension and conflict among or between people, including people subject to prejudice and discrimination due to race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, civic interest or any other factors and to take action by means of conciliation, conference and persuasion to alleviate those tensions and conflict.” To help them take on these responsibilities, in a letter to the board the commissioners suggested hiring the American Leadership Forum to provide them with training at an estimated cost of $20,000. Such training would include programs on implicit bias training, dialogue and communications training and multicultural committee design work. “With training and direction from the American Leadership Forum, the commission can utilize evidence-based information to fulfill its mission and create

practices that best benefit our county now and in the future,” states the commission’s letter. Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton noted that law enforcement officers already go through such training. He suggested expanding the training to other staff as benefiting the county and reducing its legal exposure. Human Resources/Risk Management Director Tameka Usher also spoke, saying she planned to go through an implicit bias certification program and would be introducing it for staff at the beginning of next year. In further discussion supervisors questioned the value of the training and what should be the commission’s role. Supervisors Brian Veerkamp and Lori Parlin suggested stepping back; Parlin said what was needed was an evaluation of the ordinance that lays out the commission’s responsibilities. Similarly Supervisor Shiva Frentzen expressed frustration with the time she spent as a member of the commission, saying she didn’t feel they accomplished anything in the

three-and-a-half years the it has existed. With most supervisors arguing for an educational rather than adjudicating role for the commission, Supervisor John Hidahl said training might not be the answer and it might be better to first focus on education. In the opposing camp was Supervisor Sue Novasel who argued against any effort to disband the commission, saying it provides an outlet for the community. Calling them activists, Novasel said commission members just need help defining their role. Hidahl and Veerkamp suggested holding either a town hall meeting or collaborating with other sectors of the community in a joint effort. During the public comment period resident Andy Nevis said, “Not every problem requires a government solution.” He suggested the commission might be better off as a nonprofit organization. In the end the board voted unanimously for Parlin and Novasel to work with staff on a new ordinance that clarifies the commission’s role.

What needs fixing? Our roads, rising utility costs and addressing the homeless issue. What do you think is a good, workable solution to the traffic mess that occurs due to the three signal lights on Highway 50 adjacent to downtown during weekend and holiday peak travel hours? The lights need to be synchronized better during peak hours. As someone who lives downtown it’s never more than a 5- or 10-minute delay so I plan accordingly. How do you feel about the noose that is reminiscent of the mid1800s, when the city was known as Old Hangtown, remaining on city stationery, historical street signs and other city-owned property? The noose was a warning to anyone who would come to rob or harm a miner that the noose would be their fate. It was the only promise of justice a miner and his family had back then. The history of Placerville, “Hangtown,” is like no other in the world. During the Gold Rush Placerville was probably the most diverse, multicultural place in

solution to the traffic mess that occurs due to the three signal lights on Highway 50 adjacent to downtown during weekend and holiday peak travel hours? The El Dorado County Transportation Commission is currently proposing four options. I’m interested in what the rest of the community has to say. All the positives and negatives will be highlighted through this public process so the leaders can make the best decisions. How do you feel about the noose that is reminiscent of the mid1800s, when the city was known as Old Hangtown, remaining on city stationery, historical street signs and other city-owned property? I believe as an elected official, it’s the job of a city council person to represent the residents. With controversial issues I think it is prudent to take the time to do outreach and connect with the community. In my campaigning conversations, I don’t see enough support to bring the conversation forward to remove the name “Old Hangtown.” A majority of the people want to keep it. The community seems to have varying opinions on the noose, however. I don’t believe this is a hateful, racist community. I don’t believe the noose was ever meant to represent such sentiments. I also think simply saying “it’s history” lacks merit. Many towns in California at the time had a noose. It’s not unique to

the world. Some people are fourth- and fifth-generation still living in Placerville. When people talk about removing the historical logos or buildings, you are not just removing history, you are removing someone’s heritage. When I decided to move from Lake Tahoe to Placerville I didn’t come here to change anything, I came here because I fit in. As a city leader, how would you deal with our ever-increasing homeless population? First, we need to call it what it mainly is: a mental health and drug issue. Like most people I have known people with either or both issues. When I think about addressing this issue I think how I would want to help a family member or friend. I am a strong believer in the tough-love approach. I would like to see a comprehensive program that addresses drug and mental illness and helps them to become productive members of our community. What else would you like our readers to know about you? I am a regular citizen of this city and I am not sponsored by any special interests or developers.

Placerville. It’s Anywhere, U.S.A. I think the more important question is what does Placerville want to project to the world? Lastly, this is not the most important issue facing Placerville at the moment as our businesses and residents continually struggle from the effects of COVID-19 and power outages. As a city leader, how would you deal with our ever-increasing homeless population? I think the ever-increasing homeless population is a complicated, multilayered issue. I think we have to have compassion, but also accountability. I also have compassion for the residents who want to raise their children in a safe environment, who want to be able to walk the trails and use the public parks and don’t deserve conditions that are hazardous and unsafe. I think other communities in this county need to step up and not dump all the problems in the city. I think we need to look at solutions that are working in other parts of the country. What else would you like our readers to know about you? I have a history of working collaboratively with our city, citizens and other local agencies on solutions to improve our community. In 2018 I received the Citizen of the Year award from the Placerville Police Department. I would like the opportunity to work on bigger issues and respectfully ask for your vote.

In the years since many teams have taken on the challenge in what has become an annual fundraiser for high school running programs. This year the race was set for June but due to the coronavirus pandemic had to be postponed. Instead of canceling the event race organizers decided to bring it back to 1958 and just have one team run the course. The relay team will consist of one runner from each of five El Dorado County high schools: Oak Ridge, Ponderosa, Union Mine, El Dorado and South Tahoe. The sixth runner will be blind marathoner Richard Hunter, a former U.S. Marine who lost his sight due to a degenerative eye condition. Hunter is an Operation Rebound athlete, Operation Rebound being an organization that strengthens the mental and physical well-being of veterans, military personnel and first responders with permanent physical injuries by providing them sports and fitness

opportunities. Each member of the six-person team will run 12 miles each and all money raised will be split between the high schools’ running programs. Live updates of the race will be on Lake Tahoe TV along with a live feed of the last leg which will be when Hunter runs. To donate go to LakeTahoeRelay.com. Anyone who donates $100 will receive a Lake Tahoe Relay long sleeve shirt, two Lake Tahoe glasses and an Operation Rebound baseball hat; donors of $50 will receive a Lake Tahoe Relay long sleeve shirt; and donors of $25 will receive an Operation Rebound baseball hat. The relay is named for Robert DeCelle who was then chairman of the Amateur Athletic Union’s long-distance running committee. DeCelle encouraged and sanctioned the relay through the AAU, hoping to give potential Olympic runners a chance to run and train at altitude.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No matter how dreamy an experience may be, there’s going to be a point in which the fun becomes work. Also, work will get to a similar turn and become something you can’t help but smile through. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You thought that if you didn’t stay true to a certain belief, you wouldn’t be you. But here you are, years later, having let go of the belief long ago and you’re still somehow you -- simultaneously changed and unchanged. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The hotter a relationship is, the more attention it needs. It’s happening in a skillet, not a crockpot. There’s no “set it and forget it” mode. It needs constant watching and stirring to keep from going up in flames. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As the expert fisher knows, what you catch often has to do with the lure. Different bait brings different fish. Of course, if someone’s very hungry, then they’ll bite on whatever you decide to put on the hook. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Does someone seem dependent on your reaction? The less internally motivated a person is, the more they need external validation. You’ll come across those who need to see the reaction of others to feel relevant, important and alive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The result you want is going to take a whole lot of work. Even if you want that result very badly, the prize won’t be enough. You have to be in love with the work itself for this to happen.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The best ideas are not for everyone. Thankfully, you’ve a strong sense of purpose and do not have to feel understood or validated to feel good about who you are and what you’re doing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Either you don’t see your own strengths or you’re just bored by them. This is why you need to be around new people. They’ll see you as remarkable, and you should definitely let them fawn over you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Underserved things happen all the time. Those stuck in the model of “deserving” will be too busy making judgments to get results. It’s better to think in terms of cause and effect -- of actions and consequences. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Art is highly subjective. If absolutely everyone likes it, it’s probably not very good. The best art pushes boundaries. In many ways, you’re an artist, and a particularly bold one right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Control what you can. The trouble sets in when people mistakenly believe they have more or less control than they do. Good living depends on knowing what you have power over and focusing on that. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The bottom line is that you feel more vital around certain people. Or, more to the point, there are people who seem able to drain your very essence, and they are to be avoided today.

I am a retired state of California manager. Currently, I am a businesswoman, local Realtor and a mentor and coach to eight new real estate agents. What do you like best about the city? I love so many things about Placerville: The location, the parks and trails, the businesses, great restaurants, the people and childhood friends, farmers markets, holiday tree lighting ceremony and the local events. Also, love the hometown hospitality and historic charm and character of a small city that is located in the country. As a child, I loved coming into town and eating at the Ostrich House and going to the local hardware store. Also, loved being in 4-H and assisting with putting up the holiday lights and trees along Highway 50. I still love going into the local businesses and it’s nice to see that many of the traditions from childhood still exist today in Placerville. What needs fixing? Roads, homeless situation, PG&E power outages, fire safety plan, attracting new businesses and keeping current local businesses, traffic from Apple Hill and Tahoe, water rates, finances and budget of building a healthier reserve and not overspending, preparation for another COVID-19 wave and extending the city (boundary) to include Missouri Flat so that the city of Placerville can share in the revenue generated by this corridor. What do you think is a good, workable solution to the traffic mess that occurs due to the three signal lights on Highway 50 adjacent to downtown during weekend and holiday peak travel hours? I think we need a long-term traffic solution that will generate revenue for Placerville. I have reviewed the four alternatives being proposed by the El Dorado County Transportation Commission. Also, I spoke to Woody

Deloria from EDCTC about the proposed alternatives. It seems like the possibility of Alternative 2, with an elevated toll lane, would be a good solution to the traffic, while generating the needed revenue in the toll for the city of Placerville. The EDCTC estimates the toll road could potentially generate $1 million to $2 million annually, which would go to the city of Placerville and Caltrans. If the voters, or people, do not agree with a toll road, then I believe the third-lane alternative going west is a short-term solution. How do you feel about the noose that is reminiscent of the mid1800s, when the city was known as Old Hangtown, remaining on city stationery, historical street signs and other city-owned property? I feel that this issue should be put forth to the voters to decide. I understand that this is a sensitive topic and will need to be dealt with in the next year. I also feel that we need to have some town hall meetings in person or on Zoom for the public to voice their opinion. One City Council meeting that went for 5.5 hours is not enough for the people of Placerville to voice their concerns and feelings on this sensitive issue. As a city leader, how would you deal with our ever-increasing homeless population? I see the homeless population every day when I walk on the El Dorado Trail in town. They are not going away and El Dorado County does not have a game plan. The county does have discussions going on by various groups or organizations, but nothing concrete. We need to establish a committee, task force and hire a consulting firm such as Homebase for fast tracking this issue. That task force needs to develop a strategic plan for the homeless population so that locals can still enjoy the trails and the restaurants and

I have been researching and studying how other cities currently are dealing with the homeless population. Perhaps we can use another city’s successful model in developing our strategic homeless plan for Placerville. I do support Sheriff John D’Agostini’s idea of navigation centers as a possible short-term solution to get people back on their feet. I know Sacramento just opened up the Meadowview Navigation Center with a Sprung shelter concept for the homeless. What else would you like our readers to know about you?

is why I chose to make it my home. What needs fixing?

While in college I also served as a White House intern for the Office of the First Lady in Washington, D.C. If elected to the City Council, I will use my work and educational background to better serve the people and constituents of Placerville. Also, to ensure our city is safe and clean, while preserving its historical value for our city residents and visitors. I support local small and large businesses, children’s education, city parks, local courts, police, the medical community and emergency responders. I will also be donating my first six months of my City Council salary to a downtown Placerville cause or event, such as the holiday tree lighting ceremony.

of time, moving traffic swiftly. As long as we can communicate the times that the light will remain green longer, everyone can plan accordingly for weekend and holiday travels. By supporting Apple Hill and other local communities we would ask in return to be provided a space for the merchants of Placerville to showcase their cuisine and merchandise with the hope and goal visitors will go to Placerville on their way up or back out of town, thus increasing the exposure and tax revenue of Placerville. How do you feel about the noose that is reminiscent of the mid-1800s, when the city was known as Old Hangtown, remaining on city stationery, historical street signs and other city-owned property? On a personal level, being from the South, the noose brings up a lot of emotions as it is a symbol of racism and injustice. However, no different from changing the name from “Dry Diggins” to “Placerville,” it would be the same effort by the people to determine the fate of the noose. As a city leader, how would you deal with our ever-increasing homeless population? First, we would marshal the resources

through nonprofit and governmental agencies to do two things: Coordinate the existing private and non-profit government agencies to work together on homelessness with the goal of creating a model program other cities can replicate. Also, assess needs by building transitional housing, and also strengthen ordinances. What else would you like our readers to know about you? I’ve gotten to where I am today by staying on my true path. I have to be true to myself and my beliefs. This what has led me to this community that I love and to the many lives I have worked to help. I won’t change my beliefs or my values because it is the popular thing to do or because others do not agree. I care about helping people and the community. I must always stay true to the path God has for me. I appreciate everyone’s views and positions and I always want to have the conversations of our community and nation. However, I won’t be put in a box; there are many ways to heal our nation. My way is through love and unity. Americans are not enemies. We are family and we need to hear, respect and love each other enough to find peaceful solutions.

uring October Art On the Divide Cooperative Gallery features chainmaille artist Stacey Wyatt, who creates jewelry and structural art with her manipulation of many metal rings. Her love of history brought Stacey to begin exploring the ancient art of chainmaille and the creation of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and structural pieces such as her spheres from the versatile rings of sterling silver, gold, stainless steel or aluminum — sometimes with the addition of Swarovski crystals. She is currently at work on a dress made entirely of aluminum chainmaille rings, the largest structural piece she has yet attempted and estimates the final count of woven rings will be 50,000. Wyatt retired seven years ago from ownership of a software company in Pleasanton to move to the Georgetown Divide with her husband, John. He pitched in to convert an extra bedroom in their home into the “Ring Room” with a custom work table and storage for thousands of rings. When it comes to inspiration, it may come from a painting, a piece of clay, some hand-carved wood or even something as mundane as an advantageous find in the backyard. Sometimes the result is quirky or eclectic, maybe even luxurious or sentimental. Steampunk, a fictional time period, is one style that lends itself well to chainmaille —

Leonato’s house in Messina. Beatrice and Benedick bicker with each other and Claudio, a soldier, falls in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero. Don John, who is Don Pedro’s evil half-brother, tricks Claudio into believing that he has seen Hero being unfaithful. Meanwhile, Don Pedro and others plot to bring Benedick and Beatrice together. Claudio accuses Hero of infidelity and refuses to marry her. Leonato is persuaded to pretend that she is dead. Hero’s innocence is proven and Claudio repents. He agrees to accept Antonio’s daughter in marriage and

she turns out to be Hero after all. The trick to make Benedick and Beatrice fall in love succeeds and he proposes to her at the end of the play. The play was written between 1598 and 1599 and is Shakespeare’s most frequently performed comedy.

The playwright William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor. Born in 1564, he is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s preeminent dramatist. He wrote about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems and

a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. He died in 1616 at the age of 52.

ccording to a 2019 United Nations report on species extinction, an estimated one million animal and plant species worldwide are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history. Still, there is plenty people can do to address the challenges facing listed species. Several state and federal natural resource agencies recently partnered to produce a video series and educational website highlighting successful conservation efforts to preserve some of California's threatened and endangered species. "Saving Species Together," a joint project between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, illustrates how resource agencies, private landowners, nonprofits and citizens have come together to help some of California's vulnerable species. A half-hour program compiled from the videos will be airing on PBS starting in November. The four listed species to be highlighted by "Saving Species Together" include: •Western snowy plover: Resource managers and volunteers help protect and restore habitat for the western

snowy plover at Point Reyes National Seashore and the Mike Thompson Wildlife Area, South Spit Humboldt Bay. •Coho salmon: Coho specialists from a timber company, a nonprofit and NOAA Fisheries help juvenile coho salmon in the Eel River Watershed. •San Joaquin kit fox: Resource managers, nonprofits and a solar company find ways to protect the endangered San Joaquin kit fox in urban environments and on a 26,500acre preserve in the Central Valley. •California tiger salamander: Resource managers, private developers and biological consultants work together to protect the California tiger salamander in native habitat in northern California grasslands. The SavingSpeciesTogether. org website is hosted by CDFW. It includes the videos, information about the featured species, information on what private landowners and the public can do to help listed species, campaign outreach materials and many other resources. The videos were produced by Full Frame Productions. The program was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation with community service funds paid by the defendant in a securities fraud case captioned as United States of America v.

Crepes & Craft mobile food truck opens in South Tahoe Cheyanne Neuffer Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Best friends Nick Giordano and Eric Mutell recently pursued a dream to open a mobile food truck in South Lake Tahoe. With a little push from the global pandemic and support from the local community, they opened Crepes & Craft on Labor Day Weekend. While the idea was conceptualized before the pandemic hit, the food truck is suitable during restrictions due to the coronavirus. Founder and co-owner, Giordano has spent over a decade working in the bar and restaurant industry. Giordano previously was the bar manager and master mixologist for The Loft in the Heavenly Village. He was even nominated for “Best Bartender” for the Best of Tahoe awards. However, he has now shifted gears. After a trip to Portland, Ore., Giordano fell in love with the concept of food trucks. This experience created his dream to someday have his own. In March

2019, when the South Lake Tahoe ordinance went into effect to allow food trucks, Giordano said his ears perked up. Giordano’s friend Mutell was inspired to have something of his own after also working in the service industry for several years. The duo met in 2010 at the lake, connecting over their passion for the outdoors and the New England Patriots. Mutell’s years of culinary experience and

a passion for creating good food inspired him to jump on board. Many years prior to Crepes & Craft, Mutell earned the position of kitchen manager at the age of 19. When Giordano and his wife traveled to Europe, particularly southern France, he learned that crepes are not only a sweet treat but can also be a served savory with a variety of creative toppings. Ironically, Mutell grew

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $431,728.65 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 131203-1. 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.

WHEREAS, the County finds that adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, as it is not a “project” since it has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. (14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15378(a)). Further, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA, as there is no possibility that the ordinance or its implementation would have a significant effect on the environment. (14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15061 (b)(3)). NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF EL DORADO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated by this reference and constitute findings in this matter. Section 2. The Board of Supervisors of the County of El Dorado authorizes the implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation Program within the areas currently served by PG&E in the unincorporated west slope of the County through participation in the Community Choice Aggregation Program of the Pioneer Community Energy Joint Powers Authority, contingent on all of the following: completion of the impact analysis by Pioneer, the County’s adoption of a resolution of intent expressing the County’s desire to become a member of Pioneer, approval of an amendment to the Amended and Restated JPA by the County, each member entity, and the Pioneer Board, and the certification by the Public Utilities Commission of the Implementation Plan filed by Pioneer to include the County. Section 3. The provisions of this Ordinance are separate and severable. If any provision of this Ordinance is for any reason held by a court to be invalid, the Board declares that it would have passed this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of the provision held to be invalid and such invalidity shall therefore not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance which shall remain in full force and effect or the validity of its application to other persons or circumstances. Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of El Dorado at a regular meeting of said Board, held the 29th day of September, 2020, by the following vote of said Board: Ayes: Hidahl, Frentzen, Veerkamp, Parlin, Novasel Noes: None Absent: None ATTEST KIM DAWSON Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By /s/ Kyra Schraffenberg Deputy Clerk /s/ Brian K.

American Legion hosts toy drive for Christmas Cheer

Continued from B3

food trucks are on-site during operation hours, creating a demand for mobile kitchens. Crepes & Craft currently has a partnership with South Lake Brewing Company until November and the truck will be on site Thursday through Monday. Crepes & Craft and South Lake Brewing Company are helping each other’s businesses during challenging times. In the near future, Crepes & Craft plans to operate like a traditional food truck by moving around to different places. They also are offering an online ordering system for pickup and delivery through DoorDash. Giordano said he feels for all the local restaurants that have been impacted by the pandemic. He said that while restaurants have always had to learn to adapt and overcome, this situation has been particularly challenging. “All of our lives have been quite a rollercoaster in 2020,” said Giordano. “People

That sentiment has really helped us through our first couple weeks.” He said that even given the circumstances their expectations were exceeded since opening. Giordano said his favorite crepe is the savory Herban Truffle Crepe which includes portobello mushroom tops, wild mushrooms and white truffle oil

topped with chèvre goat cheese, swiss gruyere and a black truffle oil drizzle. “It is out of this world,” he said. His other favorite is the sweet Harambe which includes bananas, cinnamon French toast bites, chocolate hazelnut spread and a chocolate drizzle. But it’s not only crepes they serve, they also have signature sliders, craft sandwiches and

soup. Giordano and Mutell are running the show by themselves for now from everything from prepping, cleaning and daily operations. “It’s really fun to be working and building something with your best friend,” said Giordano. “We are working together to serve our community.” To see the full menu visit crepesandcraft. com/menu.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The American Legion Stella Van Dyke Post 795, the American Legion Auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion of South Lake Tahoe will hold their annual Toy Drive from noon-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at the American Legion Hall located at 2748 Lake Tahoe Blvd. Residents and visitors are encouraged to support this Christmas Cheer fundraiser by driving through the parking lot and dropping off new unwrapped toys or non-perishable food items that will be distributed to local families in need during the Christmas holiday. No toy guns or knives, please. Collection barrels will also be located around South Lake Tahoe. Christmas Cheer receives 100% of the funds, toys and non-perishable food collected. “This year has been especially tough on local families and we need your help to ensure we have enough toys and food to provide a joyful Christmas to local children,” said Christmas Cheer volunteer coordinator Joanne Shope. “Without the communities’ support, needy children at Lake Tahoe may have no gifts or food on Christmas morning.” Christmas Cheer has provided thousands of toys and meals to local families and has seen an increase in the number of families in need of assistance. To donate before or after the Toy Drive call (530) 542-4934 or stop by Christmas Cheer Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 1120 3rd St. in South Lake Tahoe.

‘Genius Grant’ artists giving talks University of California, Davis News release

P

hotographer LaToya Ruby Frazier will launch the University of California Davis College of Letters and Science's Art Studio Visiting Artists Lecture series Oct. 8. A MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, Frazier’s photographs reveal the impact of systemic problems — from racism to deindustrialization to environmental degradation — on individual bodies, relationships and spaces. In 2016, she spent five months in Flint, Mich., with three generations of women dealing with the impact of contaminated water. She also took photos of the family of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police in Louisville, Ken., in March.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby will give the Betty Jean and Wayne Thiebaud Endowed Lecture on Nov. 12, celebrating Wayne Thiebaud’s 100th birthday. The MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship winner layers paint, fabric and photography to construct domestic scenes that connect to personal and world events and history. A native of Nigeria who lives in Los Angeles, Crosby has had solo exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and her art is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and many others. For more information about these online programs visit lettersandscience. ucdavis.edu.

T

he Norcal Noisefest, founded in 1995, is the longest-running experimental music festival in the United States, on a local and national level.

Due to venue closure and safety concerns, this year’s Norcal Noisefest will take place entirely online, broadcast worldwide via YouTube. Performances

will include both live and pre-recorded segments. The festival will also include Zoom meetups so performers and participants can socialize between and after the performances. Watch performances 6-11 p.m. Friday and 2-11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday This year’s Noisefest features 70 performers from across the globe, including new Sacramento performers like Fabi and Ego Death, alongside living legends of experimental music like G.X. Jupitter-Larsen and The Weatherman (from Negativland) and well-known performers

Premier Business Directory

from other music scenes like Jason Walton of Agalloch. Long-time festival goers will recognize many of regular Northern California performers including Instagon, Uberkunst, Chopstick, Big City Orchestra and Liver Cancer. The online format means more international performers than ever, including Ego Death from Greece (not the same Ego Death as mentioned above), Kompripiotr from Italy and Hidenori Noguchi from Japan. Full schedule and performer bios with photos can be found at norcalnoisefest.com.

Wyatt said she hopes to resume her plan to offer a beginner course in chainmaille at the art gallery in the future, when social distancing isn’t needed. In the meantime, visit AODC to browse and shop her many unique metal creations and possible catch the artist when she is staffing the gallery because she enjoys meeting people and exploring custom ideas with them. Wyatt is able to customize sizes for customers when needed, right there in the gallery so they can leave with their new purchases. “Touching chainmaille is the best feel of all,” Wyatt said.
