Fee refunds coming to some county residents Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Those who paid the Public Safety Impact Fee, charged to new development during the period of 2007-2016 to help fund a once-planned El Dorado County sheriff ’s substation in El Dorado Hills, will get a refund. On a 3-2 vote, El Dorado County supervisors supported returning the
approximately $445,000 plus interest collected. El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs and Rescue homeowners who built a home after the fee’s adoption and paid the fee are eligible for refunds. “We have money that was collected for a substation and it needs to be returned,” said District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin at the Sept. 28 board meeting. “That’s just how I
feel. In general, government should not be sitting on people’s money.” The decision behind the refund is two-fold. First, El Dorado County scrapped plans to build a substation after it purchased property off Missouri Flat Road in Placerville and constructed a new sheriff ’s headquarters, which opened in fall 2019. The second issue is more complex.

Lenora Louise Scott Feb. 7, 1940 – Sept. 29, 2021
Even the biggest, most generous hearts don’t beat forever. Louise lost her courageous battle with COPD, passing away peacefully in the early autumnal morning, at the age of 81. Louise, as her family and friends called her, left many friends and family behind, including her loving and devoted husband Merlin Scott; her sons David and Darren Taylor; step-daughters Shirley Fox and Debra Silva; sisters Diane and Sandra; brother Ronnie, as well as many beloved grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins, in addition to her dearest friend Laura Dumont and her husband Jay and numerous friends from a life well lived. Louise was born in Monterey Park, Los Angeles County, to Irene and Cecil Posten. She was a bright and active student at Montebello High School, involved in band, choir and other various student activities. Her involvement in social activities carried through into her adulthood, where she was involved with El Dorado Search and Rescue, the Rubicon Trail and as a volunteer in hers sons’ elementary schools activities. She married Jack Taylor in 1958, having three active sons together. They moved their family to Placerville in 1970, where Jack had a job opportunity to work at the lumber mill and where Louise had many relatives in the area. In her youth she spent many vacation days visiting her family who resided in and around Placerville. She remained married to Jack Taylor until 1978. Louise joined the El Dorado Sheriff ’s Department in 1974 as a reservist, then in 1976 became a Deputy No. 2 Custodial Officer, then eventually went on to work in the jail. She loved her career and it was this career path that led her to the man who would eventually become her husband, a Sergeant in the Sheriff ’s department Merlin (Scotty) Scott. They married in 1980, residing in Somerset living 41 happy years in their home they created together. Louise had a very upbeat, happy and positive personality. Life was never boring to her as she traveled to exotic destinations on her annual cruises with her good friend Pam. She loved the outdoors and camping. She also excelled at gardening, crafting, sewing and making baby blankets for all who had babies. Spending time with family at annual outings to Apple Hill in the autumn and in December going with the grandkids to Tyler’s Christmas Tree Farm in Grizzly Flat were some of the best memories, as were her eagerly anticipated Christmas dinners, where her killer culinary skills were enjoyed by all. Louise and Merlin were heavily involved with the Rubicon Trail where Jeeping, camping, trail care and maintenance were part of their lives for over four decades. She and Merlin have a cabin on Spider Lake where they spent many summers helping other campers and Jeepers. She loved her weekly dinners at her best friend Laura’s home where they enjoyed watching Survivor. But perhaps her favorite moments were spending quiet evenings, siting side-by-side holding hands with her love Merlin, watching Gunsmoke, all 20 seasons. Louise’s memory will be cherished and always live in those who loved her. She will be deeply missed. Louise was proceeded in death by her eldest son Daniel Taylor. Graveside services to be held at Westwood Hills Memorial Park in Placerville Saturday, Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. A reception follows.
Inez Mae Jackson
Inez Mae Jackson was born Inez Mae Silva in Kalopa, Hawaii Jan. 28, 1938. She was adored by her parents Arthur and Victoria Silva and she was the middle of three children (Elsie and Earl). She met her soon-to-be husband, Jerry Jackson while she was attending college in Honolulu and Jerry was stationed there in 1958 for the Navy. They were married the following year on Jan. 17, 1959, at the Kalopa Church and were married for 58 years until Jerry’s passing in 2017. Jerry and Inez had three daughters (Pam, Vicki and Laurie) and when the girls were old enough Inez went back to work in the school’s cafeteria. Inez enjoyed her job and retired in 2003 from El Dorado High School as the “Lunch Lady.” She will always be remembered for handing out cookies to the football players. Inez enjoyed cooking, gardening, music, traveling and flying. Inez got her pilot’s license in 1982 and was a member of the Ninety Nines International Organization of Women Pilots. Inez leaves to cherish her loving memory her children, Pam Craig (Ron), Laurie Putnam (Chris) and Vicki Little; five grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren.

The
On March 23, 1930 the world welcomed a remarkable human being. He was named Perry Clinton Beckley II and was born in Akron, Ohio. Perry lived a life of many accomplishments. He served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. Upon retiring from the Air Force, he taught elementary school. Perry was also an Eagle Scout and went on to mentor and lead several other Eagle Scouts as he touched many lives. During his lifetime, he worked for Honeywell Informational Systems in management. From there he returned to the teaching profession as well as working for El Dorado County. Likely his greatest accomplishment was when he chose to share his life with Sharon. They married in the summer of 1972 and remained so until his passing on Sept. 17. Their years of marriage spanned close to 50 years. Perry was a father, grandfather, greatgrandfather, son and brother. He leaves a legacy of kindness, generosity and great character. Perry was known for his love of travel, animals, especially dogs and good food, all of which he shared with Sharon. Additionally, they raised World Champion Quarter Horses for more than 30 years. For 16 years, he and Sharon shared many miles of travel with the El Dorado County Senior Center throughout the United States and Canada. They made many deep friendships that continue to this day. His positivity was infectious and he always had a kind word to share with others. The world has been a better place because of Perry and he will greatly be missed by those who knew him far and wide. A private Memorial with Military Honors was held Sept.30 at Westwood Hills Memorial Park in Placerville, Calif. Remembrances can be made in his honor to the El Dorado County Animal Shelter.

Hazards left by Caldor close Rocky Bar Road News release The Bureau of Land Management Mother Lode Field Office is issuing a temporary, emergency closure of the Rocky Bar Road area about 5 miles west of Grizzly Flat due to wildland fire hazards. The area was burned during the Caldor Fire and there are hazards to public health and safety. The closed area includes BLM-managed public lands north of Grizzly Flat Road, south of Slug Gulch Road, west of the Eldorado National Forest boundary and east of Ant Hill Road, all near the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River. The closure includes Rocky Bar Road where it crosses BLM-managed lands. “There is a danger of mudslides, falling trees and rolling rocks, and members of the public must stay out of the area for their own safety,” said Elizabeth MeyerShields, manager of the BLM Mother Lode Field Office. “This emergency closure will be in effect until further notice.” A map of the closure area is available at tinyurl. com/76twrk5s. The Caldor Fire has burned 221,775 acres, including more than 2,000 acres of BLM-managed public lands since it started Aug. 14. As of Monday evening the fire was 93% contained. More information on the emergency closure is available from the Mother Lode Field Office at (916) 941-3101.

since 2014, was asked by Assistant Principal Lindsey Kovach in January to share videos of school events into a Google Drive folder to create a recruitment video for incoming eighth-graders. But, according to filings from the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office, Pullen shared a “homemade edited video of multiple female students undressing and changing into costumes.” When Pullen realized his error he “made up a story about accidentally sending pictures of his recently deceased mother and got permission from Kovach to go onto her computer and delete them,” states DA documents. Kovach was suspicious of his actions and demeanor and notified the school’s IT department staff, which went in and recovered the video. They found the video reportedly appearing to have been filmed with a discrete, strategically placed camera and edited into a 7-minute segment of years of students undressing. It included bare breasts, up-skirt shots and thong underwear, according to documents. In total there were 15 different clips put together and edited with “slow motion, pauses and cutaways.” El Dorado County sheriff ’s detectives obtained a warrant

case it would be a big hit — more than $30 million. About a year after the lawsuit was filed, the board unanimously approved rescinding the two resolutions that established the Public Safety Impact fee and directed CAO staff to work with the Auditor-Controller’s Office to develop a process to issue refunds and report back. However, in early 2017 the Austin case put the brakes on the county sending out those promised checks. Attorneys for the county and the Austins continue their legal debate. A case management conference was set for Oct. 4 in El Dorado County Superior Court. The board had made attempts to issue the refunds but litigation has skewed the process, said District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel as last week’s meeting. “I just want us to understand that there’s still issues out there and that’s not going to go away anytime soon,” Novasel said. “I don’t think that’s because we are holding off for any reason. I think it’s because this is what always happens in the county when we get litigation … it takes forever and I don’t think that’s our fault.”

Twenty-two watersheds were impacted from the north and middle forks of the Cosumnes River in the southwest to Caples and Trout creek on the east side of the fire, according to U.S. Forest Service officials. The watersheds are being evaluated for stabilization treatment to reduce post-fire threats to life and property. Post-fire threats include debris flows, landslides, flooding, rockfall and infestations of non-native species.

required five-year nexus studies justifying their fees but continued collecting them. Those studies must validate the fee amount and outline how money intended to be spent will benefit the public and/or offset impacts resulting from new development. No nexus study was completed for the Public Safety Impact fee after the original study expired in 2012 and county AuditorController Joe Harn said he warned staff and the Board of Supervisors on multiple occasions of the inappropriate fee collection. “The law says if you don’t comply with the law after five years, you have to refund the money to the current homeowner,” said Harn, who began cautioning affected agencies and the Chief Administrative Office in 2013 after discovering the lapses. “The board can’t say they weren’t warned,” Harn said. “They were warned that they were collecting fees in violation of the law.” All agencies’ nexus studies have since been updated; however, should the county lose the court
to search Pullen’s home Jan. 14 where they found drugs. Detectives uncovered mushrooms, a mushroom grow kit, marijuana, LSD, DMT and erectile dysfunctions pills — all of which were found in reach of a minor at the home. Several more video files containing child pornography and secret recordings of female students were found, county documents reveal. After Pullen’s arrest Det. Brian Harris was contacted by email from a former Placerville Union School District health clerk who told him a young female relative of Pullen’s came into the nurses office “with pain in her vagina” about five years earlier, according to DA documents. The child’s mother declined to allow the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and Child Protective Services to jointly set up a forensic interview with the child. Pullen will be required to register as a sex offender for life. He will be sentenced Nov. 15 at 1:30 p.m. by Judge Vicki Ashworth in Dept. 1 of El Dorado County Superior Court. Pullen will be remanded into custody at the conclusion of sentencing. Ashworth said Pullen will receive a sentence of one year in county jail and two years of formal probation.
While supporting the idea that the money should be given back, District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl (board chair) and District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas expressed skepticism about the refund logistics and voted against the agenda item. Joining Parlin and Novasel in support of issuing the refunds at this time was District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo. “We can’t let this keep going on — collecting fees for things we aren’t even going to build,” Turnboo said. “That’s just not right.” Harn told the Mountain Democrat the county completed in 2016 most of the research necessary to begin processing refunds. Homeowners who are still at their property for which the fee was paid could see their money in as little as a week or two. If the property has been sold since, he added, it might take longer because those property owners have to be tracked down. “I’m glad the board voted to authorize me to make these refunds,” Harn said. “I think the law is pretty simple and the county did not comply with the law.”

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
CANKER SORES, MOUTH ULCERS AND OTHER PAINS IN THE MOUTH Mouth ulcers, commonly known as canker sores, are small, painful red or yellowish sores that develop on the inner tissues of lips, cheeks, tongue and gums. Most common in women and those under 45, these painful blister-like sores may be a sign of other health issues. Minor sores vary in size and usually clear up within two weeks. Major ulcers, larger and deeper, take longer to heal and can lead to scarring. The primary causes of mouth ulcers include stress; lack of sleep; minor mouth injuries; hormonal changes; food sensitivities; nutrient deficiencies; medications; gastrointestinal tract issues; and bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. A dental professional can deter-
mine the cause and prescribe a relief regimen. Our goal is to assist our patients in overcoming the many assaults that can damage a healthy mouth. Our weapons against these dangers include a frank discussion of cause and effect, up-to-date procedures, and the latest in techniques and equipment, a friendly, positive outlook, and a true desire to see our patients achieve the smile they desire and deserve. For comprehensive dental care for all members of your family, please give us a call. P. S. “Aphthous ulcers,” (mouth ulcers or canker sores) are aptly named. In Greek, aphthae (root of aphthous) means “to set on fire.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

alifornia, as everyone should know by now, has the nation’s highest rate of poverty as determined by the Census Bureau when the cost of living is included in the calculation. While family incomes in California are not Dan Walters particularly low vis-à-vis those in other states, our extremely high living costs, especially for housing, mean those incomes do not stretch as far as they would elsewhere. The Public Policy Institute of California takes the issue a bit further by calculating how many Californians are living in near-poverty, using methodology similar to that of the Census Bureau. Altogether, more than a third of the state’s nearly 40 million residents experience severe economic distress. They are, for the most part, workers in lowpay jobs and their families and their plight has been exacerbated by the nearly two-year-long COVID-19 pandemic, which has hit them the hardest both medically and economically. Backed by unions, Gov. Gavin Newsom and his fellow Democrats have vowed to reduce the state’s high levels of poverty and income disparity and this year generated a bushel basket of legislation they contend will narrow the gaps.

The latter is a variety of bills that impose new workplace and compensation standards on industries that employ large numbers of lowpaid workers, most notably garment production, agriculture and the ever-increasing distribution centers operated by Amazon and other big corporations.

Letters to the Editor Response to Joan Darling EDITOR: ’m writing to thank Joan Darling for her frank observation and admirable appeal to bring the residents of El Dorado County together. It is time to put the vitriol of the past year or so behind us and work together to fix the issues that are negatively impacting our county. Extending an olive branch in front of the symbolic Veterans Memorial is a great way to honor the fallen and reaffirm that their sacrifices were not in vain, that those they left behind can come together for the greater good of the community. Let’s set aside ideological differences and political party preferences and work on solutions to prevent the recurring and worsening wildfires and ensure that residents have reasonable access to homeowners insurance. Let’s also promote the responsible growth of our beautiful area so that young families can afford to live and work here and the next generation can enjoy the natural beauty of El Dorado County. I am happy to meet you at the memorial, Joan, and any other community and civic leaders ready to get some positive things accomplished while showing respect for each other. Shall we set a date?

Support the City Council recall EDITOR: n response to Kathi Lishman’s plead to residents not to sign City Council recall papers, I am sticking my neck out once again to ask the residents to please sign those papers so the debate can finally come out in public whether the residents want to retain a historical downtown or see it plowed over for a modern version. Kathi is actually part of a “small group” of past and present City Council members bent on destroying the Gold Rush, historical nature and flavor of downtown. Many times I have sided with Kathi when she voices her opinion on items such as not allowing the vine association to take over the gateway sign to our historical downtown. Problem is, in spite of Kathi’s protest, the city is moving forward with that action anyway. The city is also

moving forward with plans to blow up the old town hall (historical firehouse) and blowing out the old courthouse. Plans are already drawn up to turn the courthouse into a modern “cultural” building with a glass front. Plans are almost shelf ready to move the druid monument and turn Cedar Ravine/Main Street into a sea of asphalt, replacing the quaint bridge with a 44-foot-wide bridge and eliminating any walkability. Their giant “health” mural is still in the hopper despite enormous public outcry. They are actively lobbying to bring in more chain stores into downtown. My family and friend’s efforts were made miserable to restore the Hangman/Herrick building in which the city even filed a misdemeanor against us for putting in a temporary plywood floor so we could work. They refused to help make things right when their hired contractor pumped 5,000 gallons of water into our building and over our 70-yearold mural. I could write a book on the harm in time and money they have and continue to place on my husband and myself for daring to save those buildings. No, I really don’t think the council has the city’s best interest in mind. When I am downtown I constantly hear people asking, “What is wrong with Placerville’s City Council? Don’t they understand it’s the charm of the small, unique, historical town that draws people here?” The projects mentioned above and others have been on hold, assumedly waiting for the outcome of this recall. Why has the council been so quiet on these plans recently? I’m pretty sure they know the residents won’t like them. If the residents do not remove these council members now, the council will cry justification for moving forward with all these plans soon after the deadline to get signatures is over. Please sign the recall papers sent in the mail and do whatever you can to get them to the recall committee in time. Signing these papers puts the debate of the city’s future into the light. Call (530) 334-6390 or send an email to recallPCC@gmail.com if you need help turning in the papers. SUE TAYLOR Camino

Major factors that correlate with earning power — education, work, family — start with personal decisions ... households are far more likely on average than individuals in lowincome households to be welleducated, married, working full-time and in their prime earning years. In contrast, individuals in lower-income U.S. households are far more likely than Americans in higher-income households to be less-educated, working part-time, either very young (under 35 years) or very old (over 65 years) and living in single-parent or single-member households.” We get a much different picture here than the message that politically correct woke culture, which has attained such influence over recent years, has transmitted. Any individual’s fate in America is very much in their own hands and the result of how much personal responsibility they want to take in their own life. Major factors that correlate with earning power — education, work, family — start with personal decisions and personal responsibility. Readers might recall the incident I reported last year when
my organization, CURE, posted billboards in various low-income communities saying that if you want to get out of poverty — finish school, go to work and get married. Black Lives Matter protested and got the billboard company to remove our message. That’s not to say that there is not public policy work that needs to be done. But it’s not what we hear from the left. The work to relieve poverty and improve upward mobility is work that removes obstacles for individuals to take personal responsibility for their lives. Obstacles like our union-controlled, government-controlled public school systems. Parents should control their child’s education, not government and union bureaucrats. Last week my organization, CURE, released its first State of Black America report, published in partnership with the Claremont Institute. The report points to the strength

El Dorado a victim of the run in loss Thomas Frey Staff writer
The running attack from Bradshaw Christian was never ending Friday at El Dorado High School as the Cougars fell to the Pride 36-7. The Pride (6-0) ran 46 offensive plays — 91% being running plays that ate up much of the clock. In the first quarter each team had the ball once. El Dorado (3-2) started the game by driving into Bradshaw Christian’s red zone before turning the ball over. The Pride scored on a long drive that drained nearly 8 minutes off the clock and then converted the 2-point conversion to take an 8-0 lead. The El Dorado defense nearly got off the field before allowing the touchdown. The Cougars forced a fourth down but went offsides to give the Pride an automatic first down. The strong Bradshaw Christian run game, which has averaged 8.7 yards per carry this season, couldn’t do anything else with the football until the end of the first half. Again, the Cougars went offsides on fourth down, allowing the possession to continue. Then, with 55 seconds
left in the half, the Pride took a 15-0 lead on a touchdown run. Every point comes at a premium when facing a team that controls the clock like Bradshaw Christian and the Cougars tried to strike before heading into the locker room for halftime. They got a first down but then the Cougars turned the ball over again and the Pride ran the interception back inside the 1-yard line. Bradshaw Christian scored on a touchdown run and took a 22-0 lead into halftime. “That was pretty difficult because they got us on some little mistakes,” said senior defensive end Declan Robinson. The Pride returned the second half kickoff for a 97-yard touchdown to take a 29-0 lead. The score got to 36-0 later in the third before the Cougar offense began to click. The senior defensive tackle got a tackle for loss, forcing a Pride punt early in the fourth quarter. Senior Giovanni Pifferini caught the punt before weaving himself through the defenders and then sprinting down the sideline into the end zone for a 70-yard return. But a flag was thrown and the play was nullified.

Still, the Cougars got the ball back and drove down field, ending the drive when junior quarterback Anthony Mahaffey hit junior wide receiver Devon Hurst for a 23-yard touchdown with 3:40 to play in the game. “I feel like us scoring could bring our morale up better than just getting pounded in the dirt,” Robinson said. n

It was Hurst’s only catch of the evening, but on defense he recovered a fumble. “It shows us that we’ve got to work harder and just be better, play faster and play harder,” Hurst said. Senior wide receiver Ryan Wilson finished with 61 receiving yards on four receptions while Mahaffey had 84 passing yards and 29 rushing yards. Pifferini led the Cougars running backs with 61 rushing yards on 11 carries. Piffereini has averaged 5 yards per carry this season with six
rushing touchdowns. “I’m a little upset because I always want to win but in the end we lost as a team and I couldn’t ask for anything else out of my guys,” Pifferini said. The Cougars travel to Galt Friday and will return home Oct. 15 when Rosemont, another run-focused team comes to Placerville. “I definitely think we’ll come together more as a team and come up with a good game plan and be able to execute it,” Pifferini said.

Recall
Continued from A1
recall a particular council member and choose from a list of candidates to vote for to finish out the council member’s term, should the recall succeed. Councilwoman Patty Borelli, Vice Mayor Kara Taylor and Mayor Dennis Thomas’ terms expire on Nov. 1, 2022, and Councilman Michael Saragosa’s term expires Nov. 1, 2024. If the recall effort for any of these four council members are to make it to the ballot, the special election would take place sometime between May and June of 2022, according to O’Connell. Shortly after the Placerville City Council voted unanimously to remove the image of a hangman’s noose from the city’s logo in April, momentum began for the recall effort. Rodriguez told the Mountain Democrat in June that the City Council had failed to follow a process they had set forth in the noose debate. The council voted during the COVID-19 pandemic to table further discussion until January in hopes of being able to hold an in-person meeting on the topic. When January came around the country was still in lockdown but the noose debate continued to get attention and while the council did not take up the topic as an action item, public discourse gathered steam. The Mountain Democrat reported in February that UnidosUS, a national Latino advocacy organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., had sent an open letter to the city of Placerville, entreating the council to remove the noose from all city property. By April discourse on the topic had reached a fevered pitch. Several demonstrations at the courthouse on Main Street were held over the course of more than a year with opponents of the noose taking up camp on one side of the street while proponents occupied the other. The City Council took action April 11, directing staff to remove the depiction of a noose from city logos and other public assets. But proponents say there’s more behind the recall than the noose decision. Official recall petitions that went out to Placerville residents in early September included a list of grievances. Council members are accused of embracing large, corporate businesses at the peril of “historical downtown”; supporting a fundamental transformation of historical downtown; failing to maintain infrastructure, namely not fixing potholes, and not adequately addressing the homeless crisis (the mailer derides the council entering into an agreement with El Dorado County to build and manage a homeless camp within Placerville city limits). Organizers also accuse the city of willfully damaging Mewuk artifacts during the construction of the bike lane project on upper Broadway. City Council members who could potentially face a recall reached out
to the Mountain Democrat to respond to recall organizers’ claims. “What they are saying is the city has failed to maintain our infrastructure, which is vague at the very least, without specifics,” said Thomas. “If you go into the specifics, our city has fixed more roads, more sewer pipes, more water pipes than we have in decades because of Measure H and Measure L.” Tax Measures H and L were passed in 2010 and 2016, respectively, both of which generate revenue with the sole purpose of funding road, water and sewer repair and construction. The funds are advised by a citizen committee. “They’re demeaning city staff,” said Thomas. “Many of these accusations are aimed at work done by staff.” Saragosa responded to the homeless topic. “In terms of homelessness, we struggle with this issue,” said Saragosa. “Local governments really have their hands tied when it comes to what we can do,” he continued, referring to Martin vs Boise, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. “We’ve tried to be constructive about how we approach the issue. We support the sheriff ’s plan and we’re willing to step up to the plate,” he said. “Prior to just recently there was no money to do this,” he explained, noting the city does not have a budget for homeless camps or social services. Borelli gave some perspective on preserving history. “I could walk you through town and up Broadway and tell you everything that has disappeared,” said Borelli. “That is history … Things change. I think that we try to retain everything we can in a sensible way and yet keep up with the times.” One of the mandates of the Blue Ribbon Committee assigned to suggest uses for the courthouse when it was thought that it would be vacated was to retain the historical character of the buildings, according to Borelli. Taylor weighed in on the April 2020 discovery of Native American artifacts on Broadway. “The city inadvertently uncovered historical tribal artifacts during the Broadway bike lanes project,” said Taylor. “When it became known they immediately stopped construction, followed all state guidelines, spent more than $100,000 to hire an archeologist and the city filed to protect these resources. “The Wopumnes-Nisenan Mewuk Tribe is a consulting party to all city projects,” she said. “They had the opportunity to disclose these resources with the city ahead of time but they did not do so.” Each candidate was given the opportunity to retort on the recall petition and refute any allegations if they so desired. Their statements are found on the recall petition.

Keeping track of what’s working will help you later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The abandoned learn self-sufficiency. The neglected develop an inner world. The unsupported get strong. You are grateful for the unpleasantness you’ve experienced because it’s given you your most valuable assets. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something prevents you from doing what you want, but this doesn’t have to stand in your way for long. Think of it as an opportunity to clear obstacles and take back your power. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll invest in a person, company or mission. The benefits will not be immediate or direct, but they will come. In time, this move will bring good fortune from unexpected directions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When a practice no longer gets results for you, it will be a blessing to move on to trying something else. There are more options than you have time to explore, and you’ll soon be hot on the trail of a new discovery. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The best way to get what you want is to ask for it at the right time with a clear, strong voice. Ask with your eyes and with your whole body and being.

You’d much rather err on the side of spiritual generosity. Most people will rise to your wonderful expectation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Boredom causes misbehavior in children, animals and, most notably today, in full-grown adults. You’ll make sure to have something interesting to do that you can include others in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Skills worth acquiring involve hours of practice. In matters of trial and error, most of the learning will come from the “error” part. As you rack up the mistakes, you improve. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re supportive of people because you believe in them, but also because your support is a way of showing love. A loved one could really use the vote of confidence today.

Barry Smith. “Park staff and volunteers transform the park into an 1850s tent town that is populated by over 100 volunteers in period attire and period character. As visitors wander through they get
a taste of what life was like in Coloma in 1850.” For those just arriving from the states, a visit to the general store may be in order to stock up on provisions before heading out to the mines. Be sure to
visit the mining camp along the river for some tips on the latest mining techniques. For those who have been prospecting the hills and ravines, stop by the claims office to register a claim or talk with the
assayer to determine the worth of a recent gold strike. Visit the laundry for a clean shirt and the tonsorial for a shave and a bath before heading over to the saloon for a little liquid refreshment. But, keep your gold dust close as wily gamblers have been known to frequent the saloon. “This event is coming back bigger and better than ever,” continued Smith. “Our interpretive staff and volunteers are ready to get back to doing what they do best — sharing the stories and the history of the California Gold Rush through this immersive living history event.” The doctor will be available to cure your ills but watch out for the unscrupulous gold grease salesman who has been seen pushing his cart through town. n

Honoring the fallen
Local artist designs Rancho Cordova Peace Officers Memorial Special to the Mountain Democrat
O
n Sept. 17, a new Peace Officers Memorial was dedicated by the city of Rancho Cordova at the Rancho Cordova Police Department. The bronze sculpture was designed and created by local artist Terrie Bennett and commissioned by the city to honor the life of RCPD’s first fallen officer, Mark Stasyuk. Officer Stasyuk was killed in the line of duty during a disturbance call to a local auto parts store on the same day in 2018. The city of Rancho Cordova began working with Bennett in 2019 to create a unique design that would represent Stasyuk’s life, service and the deep loss endured by the community. Every detail on the memorial has meaning and intention, from the height of the main structure, which is the same height as Stasyuk at 5-foot, 10 inches, to a bas relief on the front representing the things Stasyuk loved to do in his life. The front of the sculpture depicts hiking, fishing, playing music, scuba diving and a couple embracing, which also represents the things that Stasyuk lost. “I wanted to show what he loved and also what he lost in his life,” Bennett said. On the top of the memorial sits an eagle and on the back an American flag, both representing his love for his country, freedom and liberty. In the center of the sculpture is an enlarged replica of his badge, flanked on either side by the department patches
that he represented, Rancho Cordova PD and Sacramento County Sheriff, representing the oath he took as an officer and the life he gave in service to him community. On the back is an inscribed bible verse of John 15:13 in Russian. In English the verse reads: ‘Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.’ Stasyuk was of Russian descent and he had great love for his family and pride in his heritage. During the ceremony, both the city manager Cyrus Abhar and Mayor Garrett Gatewood spoke about the immense loss the community faced when Officer Stasyuk was killed, and what this Peace Officers memorial means to the community. Terrie and her daughter Nicki Bennett spoke about the design elements and their meaning. At the end of the ceremony an eagle circled above as his family laid flowers at the sculpture’s base. “I know Mark is here. We felt him when we installed the sculpture,” Terrie said. “The second the crane set it down on the base, it started pouring rain. We all started crying and we really felt his presence here.” Terrie is a secondgeneration sculptor who has been working professionally for 40 years. She comes from a local family of artists known as Bennett Sculpture, who have been working and creating art in the greater Sacramento region since the early ’70s. In keeping with n

No man is an island Stephen had everything to live for: a great wife, five wonderful children, a devoted extended family and friends. Where did his inner courage come from? His parents were lay Franciscans and he grew up under the guiding philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, whose encouraging and inspirational phrase “While we have time, let us do good” were words that Stephen lived by.

and catastrophically injured service members. Since 2002, this four-star rated charity has helped families and catastrophically injured soldiers across the nation — even in our own community. In 2002 the foundation hosted the first annual Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk in New York City. This event is now considered by many to be one of the top 5K runs in America. But not everyone can travel to New York City. Members of the public around the country wanted to participate in their own communities. Soon, T2T 5Ks were popping up in cities across the nation. Now, our opportunity is here. Sacramento’s William Land Park will host the first annual Sacramento Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk at 9 a.m. Nov. 6. Just like the event in New York, this event symbolizes Stephen Siller’s final footsteps from the foot of the Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.

PRESERVE IT! Jr. Jams and Jellies class Nancy Fothergill-Spalding UC Master Food Preserver
E
very year for the past nine years the UC Master Food Preservers of El Dorado County hosted a hands-on Jr. Jams and Jellies class for young people, ages 5-18. Our goal is twofold: 1) to introduce young people to food preservation; and 2) to support our county fair by entering each young person’s jam or jelly into the fair. This year we were determined to offer the class even with the change in criteria due to COVID-19 requirements. We developed a plan on how to set the class up; decided to do it on two Saturdays, Aug. 14 & 21; mapped out our plan; and put the information out to all the former participants, our large email list, as well as posting it on our social media sites. Registration was online. Part of the information parents submitted is to have their child choose the type of

make three jars of jam or jelly. Prior to our first Saturday, we had filled all 72 slots. We were excited. Our team showed up both days ready to assist the participants make their jam or jelly. We were thrilled with the variety of ages. We expected elementary-aged children but we also had middle school and high school students participate. Over the years we acquired, through grants and donations, the
Day Hiker
equipment needed to set up different canning stations around the room for the youth. Each UC Master Food Preserver volunteer worked with one child or two siblings to guide them as they made their jam. When the jam was filled and the lid was on, it was taken to the steam canning station. A Master Food Preserver processed the jars. When the jars were out and cooled, each child took home one jar and the other two jars were labeled to be entered in the El Dorado County Fair, which was, unfortunately, canceled this year. The UC Master Food Preserver Program is a volunteer organization of the University of California Cooperative Extension. To fund the Jr. Jams and Jellies class, El Dorado Disposal sponsored the event for the past few years. The funds donated are used to purchase the jars, sugar and pectin each child uses during the class. UCCE Master Food Preservers are available to answer home food preservation questions; leave a message at (530) 621-5506 or email us at edmfp@ucanr.edu.

to experience parts of this historical path. Exposed areas of the trail will make you wish you had your sunscreen, hat and glasses. Always take a bottle of water and I never leave home without a camera. Although not as thick, you can still find poison oak here and ticks too. There are few trails that make me feel at home more than this part of the Western States Trail. Get to this part of WST by taking Interstate 80 east to Auburn. Take the Elm Avenue exit to Highway 49 toward Placerville. Follow Highway 49 into the canyon. Take the right over the river toward Cool. Just over the bridge on the El Dorado County side you find gate 150. Park as close to the trailhead as you like and get ready for a great day hike.

Regardless of what he may tell you, there is no magic way to find gold. “Our maintenance team spends countless hours preparing the grounds for this event — from leaf and debris cleanup, to mowing and tree trimming, to milling lumber for tent poles, benches and other items needed for the event,” said Smith. “With a modern sawmill onsite and a fully outfitted carpentry shop, the maintenance staff can now fulfill most lumber needs in house.” There are plenty of hands-on activities to keep the kids, young and old, entertained including gold panning, tin punching, bowling and a plethora of children’s games. And, if you work up an appetite with all this activity, stop by the Gold Rush BBQ for some sustenance. Coloma Gold Rush Live is made possible thanks to the partnership with the Gold Discovery Park Association. Admission to the event is $5 per vehicle, plus a $10 per vehicle parking fee.

News release

Eskaton Village Placerville hosted its annual Alzheimer’s Walk around the facility’s spacious campus Sept. 30 with 68 people participating and raising funds to support a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Soroptimist of Cameron Park/ El Dorado Hills is seeking grant applications from women who serve as the primary earners for their families and require financial assistance to continue their education or training. Women can now apply for the Soroptimist Live Your Dream Award. Applications are available at bit.ly/LYDA-apply. The application deadline is Nov. 15. Soroptimist CPEDH will provide two cash grants to its award recipients for up to $2,500. The top winner’s name will then advance to the Soroptimist Sierra Nevada Region level where recipients could receive up to an additional $5,000. Recipients may use the Live Your Dream Award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education or additional skills and training. This includes tuition, books, childcare, carfare or other education-related expenses.
Nationally, each year the Live Your Dream Award provides more than $2.8 million in education grants to nearly 1,700 women, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles like poverty, homelessness, domestic violence and/or substance use disorder. These cash grants continue to instill pride in head-of-household women in need who showed the courage to change their lives. Since the program’s inception in 1972, the grants have helped tens of thousands of women achieve their dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. Founded in 1981, the Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills club is part of Soroptimist International of the Americas, a global organization that works to improve the lives of women and girls through educational programs leading to social and economic empowerment.
