Mt. Murphy Bridge repairs to be tested Krysten Kellum Associate editor If a load-bearing test planned for Friday goes well, the Mt. Murphy Bridge in Coloma might not be closed for months after all. El Dorado County Department of Transportation Maintenance Division staff discovered “severe structural damage” to the bridge after it was struck by a truck Saturday, Sept. 25. The driver, who was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after the 2 a.m. incident, reportedly ran into one of the main columns and damaged railing on both sides of the bridge as he attempted to cross. DOT crews have since made repairs to

the railing and structural components. A structural engineer was also brought in to consult on repairs. It was initially anticipated that fixing the bridge could take months. If Friday’s test shows the Mt. Murphy Bridge is holding, it will reopen that day under limited conditions, according to Kelly Carnahan, assistant to the director of the county Department of Transportation. In the meantime, the bridge remains closed to all traffic — vehicular, pedestrian or cyclist. The Mt. Murphy Bridge is the most direct route from Coloma’s Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park and n

Weather is on the way that could end the Caldor Fire fight. Firefighters are already seeing cooler fall weather but that might start to look a little bit more like winter with snow forecast for 8,000- to 7,000-foot elevations Friday and Saturday. California Interagency Incident Management Team 13 Meteorologist Derek Williams said at Wednesday evening’s community briefing it is possible that several inches of snow could accumulate. He added that a stronger, colder weather system is expected to move into the region Monday and Tuesday next week. Matt Ahearn, Team 13 operations section chief, said containment lines near the Forni Meadows area have been extended but “there is one section that is going to remain until we get weather.” He explained that until then there is nowhere for the fire to go as it is held by a rock barrier — the 9,984foot Pyramid Peak. There are just a couple segments of uncontained perimeter left on the Caldor Fire and Ahearn said Wednesday he saw the least amount of smoke to date on the 221,775-acre, 93%-contained blaze. Near Wrights Lake a small fire outside the Caldor perimeter called the Smith Fire is no longer posing a threat. “That whole edge is in very good shape,” Aheard reported. South of Sierra-at-Tahoe containment lines have also been extended. The containment line in that area that has not yet been fully secured stretches from well south of Sierra-at-Tahoe, along Schneider Camp Road and clear to near Lake Magaret a few miles north of Highway 88. But Ahearn said progress is coming along there and “that line looks excellent.”

Nevis appointed to Planning Commission Eric Jaramishian Staff writer District 4 supervisor Lori Parlin has appointed Andrew Nevis to fill one of two vacant El Dorado County planning commissioner positions. Nevis’ appointment comes on the heels of Planning Commissioner James Williams’ stepping down last month. Nevis, 31, is a legislative analyst for the state where he reviews proposed or changing legislation to determine its effects on the

State Water Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Nevis focuses on California Environmental Quality Actrelated legislation for his unit. “Similar to planning commissioners, my job requires me to review, interpret and convey in layman’s terms complicated law and policies,” Nevis wrote in his application for the planning commissioner position.

City councilman arrested on suspicion of DUI, drug possession Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — South Lake Tahoe City Council member Cody Bass was arrested last month when he was reportedly found to be in possession of illegal drugs after being stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence. At about 2:25 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, firefighters working near Twin Bridges reported an “extremely intoxicated driver,” according to the California Highway Patrol report. A CHP officer stopped Bass’ vehicle, a Tesla with California plates, at the Meyers Agricultural Station at approximately 2:39 a.m. “The officer observed the driver showed obvious signs of intoxication and requested he exit his vehicle,” the CHP report states. There was “white powder resembling cocaine” and a “crystalline

CODY BASS substance resembling methamphetamine” in the vehicle, continues the CHP report. Following completion of the CHP investigation, Bass was arrested on several misdemeanor charges, including reportedly driving under the influence, possession of an open container of alcohol or marijuana and possession of methamphetamine and certain other narcotics that in most cases carry a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000. Bass was booked in the El Dorado County Jail and his car towed. While his legal

counsel advised him not to comment on the incident until he has been arraigned, Bass, who is out on bail, did want to make one statement. “The report came out before the lab tested the substances in the car,” Bass told the Tahoe Daily Tribune. “I absolutely did not have cocaine and I absolutely did not have methamphetamine, and the lab results will show that.” The city of South Lake Tahoe declined to comment. The arrest came less than one week before Bass’ multi-year legal battle over taxes for his cannabis business, Tahoe Wellness Center, came to a close. There was a settlement trial on Friday, Oct. 1. This is Bass’ first term on the South Lake Tahoe City Council. His term expires in November 2022. He is also an ex-officio member of the El Dorado County Transportation Commission.

Grant to help crack down on impaired driving Mountain Democrat staff In an effort to save lives from traffic crashes attributed to impaired drivers, the California Highway Patrol Placerville office and Placerville Police Department will use a federal grant to conduct a regional campaign in El Dorado County. The project began this month and will end Sept. 30, 2022. CHP Placerville will deploy officers on enhanced enforcement patrols, particularly on Highway 50, highways 49 and 193 and unincorporated roads within the CHP Placerville jurisdiction, according to a news release. “With a proactive approach to raise awareness and eliminate driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we can continue to reduce the number of crashes occurring in El Dorado County,” said CHP Lt. Rick Hatfield, commander of the Placerville office. “This grant keeps the momentum going by removing impaired drivers from public roadways.” There were 123 people injured or killed in traffic crashes involving impaired drivers on CHP jurisdictional roadways within CHP Placerville area between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2019, according to the CHP records. CHP’s traffic safety effort also includes a community-based task force and a public awareness and education campaign to help reinforce

the dangers of driving while impaired. Placerville police will roll out a police traffic services program, according to a statement from the department. “Impairment, speeding and other dangerous driving behaviors jeopardize the safety of other people on the road,” Placerville Police Chief Joseph Wren said. “This funding allows us to provide necessary traffic enforcement measures along with educational materials and programs that will help with the goal of reducing serious injury and fatal crashes on our roads.” The grant will pay for additional enforcement measures, including: • DUI checkpoints and patrols specifically focused on suspected impaired drivers • Enforcement operations focused on suspected distracted drivers in violation of California’s hands-free cell phone law • Bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement operations focused on driver behaviors that put vulnerable road users at risk • Enforcement operations focused on top violations that cause crashes: speeding, failure to yield, stop sign and/or red-light running and improper turning or lane changes • Community education presentations on traffic safety issues such as distracted driving, DUI, speeding and bicycle and pedestrian ■

Suppression repair work and hazard tree removal is in progress across the Caldor Fire burn area. Along Mormon Emigrant Trail, where Caldor burned with great intensity at the peak of its destruction, there is much work to be done to clean up all the burned trees. “This is a major operation that is going to take multiple weeks,” Ahearn said.

Taking on the BEEReaucrats

im Caruso, CEO of Flying Dog Brewery, calls his business a “First Amendment brewery.” That’s because he keeps going to court to defend beer labels. It started in 1995, when Colorado’s Liquor Commission objected to the label, “Good Beer, No John Stossel S---.” Bureaucrats told him, “Pull the beer from the market or we suspend your license,” he says in my new video. That could have put him out of business. I tell Caruso, “I’m glad we get to say ‘s---’ in this interview, but I can see why the regulators didn’t want the word.” “Want free speech?” Caruso responds, “You have to respect that in others.” After four years of litigation, Colorado’s Supreme Court overruled the liquor commission, ruling that “no s---” is free speech. Then Michigan’s liquor commission banned another Caruso beer, “Raging B----” (remember, it’s “Flying Dog” brewery). The bureaucrats said the label was “detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the general public.” They told Caruso, “Oprah doesn’t use the word on her show.” Oprah? Michigan police ordered him to pull Raging B---from the shelves or they’d confiscate it. Caruso went to court again. “Do you really want to live in a country where government bureaucrats, based on whim and personal preference, can censor whatever they don’t like?” asks Caruso. “Movies, books, music lyrics, news stories?” “No,” I respond. “But I wouldn’t want to fight over a beer name. What do you care? Change the name of the beer.” “All of these battles are fought at the margin. That’s where everything controversial is,” responds Caruso. “By the time you’re defending something mainstream, it’s too late.” After six more years in court, he won again. The court said, “Banning a label for vulgarity violates the First Amendment.” You’d think the bureaucrats would have known that, since the federal government already approved Caruso’s beers. In fact, every brewer in America must first submit every label to a federal bureaucracy called the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Which makes me wonder: Why does every state need separate regulation? I suspect the answer is: Bureaucrats want jobs and politicians are eager to waste our money. On top of the feds’ hundreds of pages of rules, Caruso complains: “Every state has its own regulations. I think Maryland is 300-some pages, single-spaced. ... The cost and time for compliance is onerous.” This year, North Carolina’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission rejected another Caruso beer, “Freezin’ Season.” The label depicts a cartoon figure in front of a fire. It might be a naked man ... or not. If you squint at it, n

Who’s town is Hangtown? EDITOR: re you questioning why there’s a recall of the City Council of Placerville aka Old Hangtown? Look no further than the front page of the Sept. 23 Mountain Democrat: “Placerville makes plans for ARPA funds.” After reading it, the pending actions by the council should leave no doubt in your mind. It should prompt you to sign the petition, then follow up and vote yes. According to the article, Placerville was allotted $2.6 million over two years. It received $1,336,649 in July. How about road and street maintenance, some of which have not seen an overlay and are returning to that of the Gold Rush era? Oops, I brought history into it and that will give them an excuse for not fixing them. According to staff (not yours) wishlists per the article: a Ford 4x4 pickup for $15,000; $115,839 for two 2021 Ford Interceptor SUVs for the police department or $57,919.50 per vehicle; $409,950 for fuel reduction on city property; $50,000 for upgrades for Town Hall emergency center; $100,000 for corporation yard revitalization; $54,942 for computer and geographic information software system; $20,000 for training engineering staff on how to use it or something else; and $50,000 for citywide marketing program and a sewer and water bill assistance. Grand total: $890,166 — leaving$446,483 for future projects like the proposed managed homeless camp or broadband. I have always said that the homeless issue is a big money maker for the government: grants, etc. Broadband is a luxury; safe roads and safety issues fixed are a necessity. In my opinion, none of these fall in the idea of recovery except vegetation projects. I see nothing

that help the people of Hangtown. Here is a novel idea. Why don’t the people of Hangtown put forward a list of what they want done for a change? Call or send letters to the city or, an even better idea, find a petition and sign it, then vote and elect people who will listen to you for a change. BRIAN DeBERRY Placerville

COVID wildfire EDITOR: he politicization of a pandemic makes no more sense than the politicization of a forest fire, yet we have a portion of our population shouting, in essence, “Let it burn!” We have in our power the means to slow the COVID-19 fire, possibly even stop it in its tracks, but American citizens who are unwilling to wear masks or be vaccinated are actively keeping the virus burning. In the same way, Cal Fire asks residents of a community to create defensible space around their homes, to clear brush off their property, to cover their gutters and to take other measures to make sure fire cannot get a foothold on their structures. In one afternoon, 21,000 people fleeing the Caldor Fire peacefully evacuated the town of South Lake Tahoe in an inspiring display of harmonious action for the common good, temporarily ceding to the state their property rights and freedom of movement. The closure of Highway 50 during the fire appeared to be generally accepted because public safety was so obviously at the forefront. Likewise, when confronting the fire of an infectious disease, shouldn’t we be willing, for the sake of the health of our communities, to accept reasonable preventative measures? Getting a vaccine and clearing defensible space around a home are measures that protect not only the individual but also first responders and our neighbors. The unvaccinated are essentially creating spot fires that need to be continually contained by our frontline medical workers. When citizens voluntarily band together in “fire safe communities,” life and health are protected; in the same way, a high vaccination rate creates “COVID-safe communities” that reduce illness and fatalities. One measure of a community is the extent to which, in extraordinary circumstances, we are willing

This at a time when real family earnings are declining, crime is increasing, homelessness is rampant and mounting debt is killing the American dream of a better future for our children. How are American workers helped by flooding the labor market with lowwage labor? Of course, the woke ruling class makes out very well. The $60,000 taken from your earnings over the next decade will, for example, pay bonuses of up to $50,000 each for reporters and bloggers across the country who so shamelessly do the Democrats’ bidding. There are lavish handouts to ivy-league universities and the fashionable elite who buy $82,000 Teslas. There’s even a new Civilian Climate Corps, presumably filled with officious little climate pioneers ever eager to report whose chimney is smoking, who’s watering their lawn on the wrong day and who’s spreading forbidden climate disinformation.

one tiny line might represent a penis. Oh, no! Who will save us? North Carolina’s BEEReaucrats! They told Caruso it is “inappropriate” to expose children to that image and cited: “Rule 15b 1003-3(2),” which prohibits labels that are “undignified, immodest or in bad tase.” Bureaucrats love writing lines like “Rule 15b 10033(2).” North Carolina had already rejected more than 300 other beer labels — such as “Polygamy Porter,” “Beergasm” and “Hedonism.” Most rejected breweries then usually just sell their banned beers in other states, but Caruso sues. Good for him for spending his own money to defend a principle. Days before his first court hearing, North Carolina suddenly approved his beer, saying their change of heart “rendered the case moot.” But Caruso pursued his litigation anyway, saying: “It’s not about one beer label. It’s about striking down an unconstitutional law!”

He also pointed out, “If it was to protect the children before, and now they’ve lifted the ban, they’re either sacrificing children at the altar of evading a preliminary hearing or they’re just full of s---.” North Carolina’s liquor commission wouldn’t agree to an interview.

to make personal sacrifices for the common good. We need to be one team with one fight if we are to prevent and extinguish both wildfire and infectious disease. ELIZABETH KETELLE Garden Valley

Supes to hold special redistricting meeting El Dorado County CAO The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting Thursday, Oct. 14, to discuss redistricting and possibly provide staff with direction regarding map alternatives. The U.S. Constitution requires a count every 10 years of everyone

residing in the United States. Census data is used for geographically defining state legislative districts in the year following a census. At the conclusion of each Census process, the county must conduct a process to analyze population data in order to redraw district boundaries to ensure that districts are

substantially equal in population as required by the Constitution and in compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. The county must consider the following factors in order of priority: • Geographic contiguity • Geographic integrity of any local

LAFCO seeks alternate News release

The El Dorado Local Agency Formation Commission will be considering the appointment of an alternate public member to LAFCO to serve the remainder of the current four-year term through May 2024. The public member alternate represents the interests of the citizens and residents of El Dorado County. The alternate fully participates in the discussion and deliberation at LAFCO meetings but votes only when the regular public member is absent or disqualified. Applicants must be a resident and a registered voter in El Dorado County and cannot be a city, district or county official of any public agency within El Dorado County. Those seated on LAFCO are subject to the Fair Political Practices Commission and must file an annual conflict of interest statement. Under state law LAFCO is

neighborhood or local communities of interest. • Geographic integrity of any cities or censusdesignated places. • Easily identifiable and understandable districts bound by natural and artificial barriers, including streets and boundaries of the county when practicable. • Encouraging geographical compactness so that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant

populations. The Elections Code also specifies that the board shall not adopt supervisorial district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party. Additional criteria can be considered, as long as they are not in conflict with or outweigh the criteria required by the state and federal laws. In order to meet these requirements, the county undergoes a process to redistrict following the conclusion

of each Census. Before adopting new boundaries, the board must hold at least four public hearings or public workshops at which the public can provide input on the composition of the Districts. In accordance with California Elections Code Sec. 21507.1: • At least one public hearing shall be held before the board draws draft maps of the proposed supervisorial n See redistricting, page A8

mandated to ensure the logical formation and determination of the local government agency boundaries, which affect growth and development patterns, delivery of urban services and agricultural and open space lands within El Dorado County. The commission typically meets the fourth Wednesday of every month at 5:30 p.m., with the exception of the months of November and December. Because of the holidays a combined meeting is typically held on the second Wednesday of December. To be considered for the alternate public member position on LAFCO, complete the application form posted at edlafco.us. Fore more information call the LAFCO office at (530) 2952707. Submit applications to lafco@ edlafco.us or by mail to El Dorado LAFCO, 550 Main St., Suite E, Placerville. The deadline for applications is Dec. 3.

The county’s redistricting webpage provides information about this process, including ways to participate, the date and time of the public workshops, videos and minutes from past meetings, and a list of frequently asked questions and answers. Four draft maps have also been added to the website for the consideration of the public. The date, time, and access information for the workshop is being provided by the agenda and on the redistricting webpage more than five days before the hearing or workshop. Public testimony in

writing is encouraged, and public comment will take place as part of the workshop. In accordance with California Elections Code Sec. 21508: Residents, including those in underrepresented communities and non-English speaking communities, are encouraged to participate in the redistricting public review process. The workshop will be recorded and the recording will be available to the public on the webpage within two weeks after the public workshop. This is the third in a series of public workshops to inform the community and to receive public input on the redistricting process. The first occurred on June 4 and the second on Aug. 4. One more workshop is scheduled at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 3, via Zoom and with an in-person option, COVID-19 restrictions permitting. Following these meetings, the Board of Supervisors will choose a map alternative in order to adopt new boundaries by the statutory deadline.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). People have different rules. Even close friends may not completely understand yours. There will be infractions. They happen out of misunderstanding, not an intent to offend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be attracted to people and situations outside your usual pattern. You might dismiss the idea of a “type” altogether, since it’s based on your past and you’re more interested in creating a new future. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your vision of a luxurious life is unique, but there are people with similar goals. Find them so you can help and support one another. The kinship will invigorate your plans. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are drawn to people who have a sense of humor and the confidence to use it. Humor is always a risk. As the professionals know, it doesn’t always land, but you respect the attempts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). New responsibilities will be laid at your feet as though they were a gift, and maybe they are. You have more fun in work mode anyway, and it’s like this job was custom made for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You see so many around you who don’t act on their beliefs. That’s because change takes energy! You have plenty of it today, and you’ll apply it in a way that inspires others to do the same.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll think strategically and outwit those who act on selfish impulse. Impulsiveness is not categorically wrong, but it works best when the larger aims and the overall picture are ever in view. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mingle with those whose credentials and connections could plug beautifully into your plans. Keep sharing until you find the ones who have overlapping mutual interests. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Delegating well is not about telling people what to do so much as matching the right people to the job. This requires listening and observing carefully to really understand the talents and needs of the contenders. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll let go of what you don’t need. Getting rid of things creates a vacuum. Spaces fill. So the real trick is in letting them fill with the sacred and expansive instead of the common and cluttered. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You work as well in an ensemble as you do as a solo artist, and you’ll get the chance to switch between these two modes. It’s just one more example of how your life is falling into beautiful balance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you’re a part of the natural world, too, you have an instinct for recognizing when things are ripe. The opportunity dangles before you, sweet and ready. Pluck it and enjoy.

risk of infection,” said Williams. “The benefits of the vaccine outweigh any potential risk and the vaccine is readily available in the community,” said Williams. On Sept. 24 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation for a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine for certain people who have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. California followed by updating its vaccination guidelines to recommend a booster shot in alignment with CDC’s recommendation. Currently, the booster shot is only available from Pfizer. The priority groups for the booster shot are people 65 years of age and older, long-term care residents 18 years or older and 50- to 64-year-olds who have underlying medical conditions or who are at increased risk due to social inequity, including that of communities of color. Others who may consider obtaining booster doses include 18- to 49-year-olds who have underlying medical conditions and 18- to 64-yearolds who work or live in high-risk settings such as a shelter. “People whose immunity has waned since receiving their initial vaccine series may see great benefit from a booster dose,” said Williams. “El Dorado County residents who completed their two-dose vaccination series with the Pfizer vaccine at least six months earlier, believe they meet criteria and wish to receive their Pfizer booster dose should inquire with their own healthcare provider or a pharmacy that is offering

booster doses.” El Dorado Community Health Centers offer booster shots on Fridays and Saturdays, along with the first two doses to qualified individuals. Barton Health in the Tahoe Basin is providing vaccines at Barton Family Medicine and Barton Community Health Center for established patients who meet criteria. Shingle Springs Health and Wellness is offering booster doses to newly registered and established patients who qualify. Marshall Medical Center is planning booster clinics with dates and times to be announced shortly. “Getting vaccinated against COVID-19, whether it is your first dose(s) or a booster dose is important for the protection of our communities, individuals and their families,” said Williams. “I am especially concerned that those who have underlying health issues and/or work in high risk settings get vaccinated.” According to the CDC, health conditions that can make individuals more likely to get severely ill from COVID- 19 include: • Cancer • Chronic kidney disease • Chronic lung diseases, including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma (moderate to severe), interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension • Dementia or other neurological conditions • Diabetes (type 1 or type 2) • Down syndrome • Heart conditions (e.g.,

heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies and hypertension) • HIV infection • Immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) • Liver disease • Overweight and obesity • Pregnancy • Sickle cell disease or thalassemia • Smoking, current or former • Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant • Stroke or cerebrovascular disease, which affects blood flow to the brain • Substance use disorder The CDC also has listed the following workplaces and/or jobs that are high-risk for COVID-19: • First responders (healthcare workers, firefighters, police, congregate care staff) • Education staff (teachers, support staff, daycare workers) • Food and agriculture workers • Manufacturing workers • Corrections workers • U.S. Postal Service workers • Public transit workers • Grocery store workers To find a COVID-19 vaccine go to vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, go to myturn. ca.gov or call (800) 232-0233.

Legion of Honor presents evolution of pastels News release

AN FRANCISCO — The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco present Color into Line: Pastels from the Renaissance to the Present, a celebration of the artistry of pastel through rarely seen holdings from the museums’ Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, as well as prominent local collections from Northern California, opening Oct. 9. Through 80 masterworks, the exhibition traces the technical evolution of pastel, from its introduction in 16th-century Europe to works created as recently as 2020. Highlighting the creative process behind the works, the exhibition emphasizes pastel’s versatility over five centuries of human creativity, through drawings by Rosalba Carriera, JeanBaptiste Perronneau, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Diego Rivera, Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, John Altoon, Rupert García

“Two and One-Half Cakes,” 1972, pastel on paper, by Wayne Thiebaud. and Joan Mitchell. “Color into Line celebrates the exquisite art of pastel and the way that artists, from the Renaissance to the present day, have explored its delicate and unique effects,” said Thomas P. Campbell,

director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Drawing heavily on the riches of our Achenbach Collection for Graphic Arts, the exhibition brings fresh light and scholarship to a medium that is often

overlooked because such works are so fragile and rarely lent and displayed.” One of the most long-standing media in art history, pastel has maintained a formulation almost unchanged since its

YOU’VE GOT PLACES TO GO

emergence in the Renaissance. Composed of finely ground pigments, a dry filler (kaolin or chalk) and a binder (traditionally a vegetable gum), pastels are still used today in much the same way as when they first appeared. Examining the technical process of creation, the exhibition pays specific attention to the medium’s materiality, looking at techniques shared by artists across centuries. “In a singular combination, pastels convey the immediacy of a drawing, the appearance of a painting and the matte finish of a fresco,” said Furio Rinaldi, curator of Drawings and Prints at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Color

into Line shows some of the greatest hits from our collection while unearthing hidden gems from our neighboring institutions, like the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento and SFMOMA, revealing to audiences the incredible richness of our local graphic holdings.” Laid out in chronological order, and accompanied by an exhibition catalogue, Color into Line: Pastels from the Renaissance to the Present provides visitors with the rare opportunity to savor various masterpieces from public and private collections across Northern California, many on view for the first time. One such work, the nearly lifesize “Portrait of a Man and His Dog” (possibly Philippe Basset de la Marelle, 1709–1779) (ca. 1746–1750), has been newly attributed to Jean-Étienne Liotard, one of the masters of pastels in the 18th century, due to new technical and stylistic evidence unearthed during research for this exhibition. It is on view for the first time since its acquisition in 1965. Color into Line: Pastels from the Renaissance to the Present is the first exhibition organized by Rinaldi, the museums’ newly appointed curator of drawings and prints. It is on view at the Legion of Honor at Lincoln Park, 100 34th Ave. in San Francisco, Oct. 9 through Feb. 13, 2022. For tickets and more information call (415) 750-3600 or visit famsf.org.

Things get spooky this month at Sutter Street Theatre Oct. 8-31. Another thrill comes from the theater’s special “War or the Worlds” production with two shows scheduled — 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct 9, and 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 10. “The War of the Worlds” is an episode of the American radio drama anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air directed and narrated by actor and future filmmaker Orson Welles as an adaptation of H. G. Well’s novel “The War of the Worlds” (1898). It was performed and broadcast live as a Halloween episode at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30, 1938, over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. The episode became famous for causing panic among its listening audience. Sutter Street Theatre is located at 717 Sutter St. in Folsom.

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons.

‘Cry Macho’ HH PG-13, 1 hour, 44 minutes Drama, Thriller, Western Now playing in theaters and streaming on HBO Max

here’s an old adage in film that’s always a good reminder to filmmakers if they feel a scene on the page or screen isn’t quite working: “Don’t tell me, show me.” The paraphrasing of the famous Anton Chekhov quote is a good reminder not to get dragged down in explaining a character’s motivation or past but to actually show it on screen. Filmmaking is a visual medium, after all. Clint Eastwood’s “Cry Macho,” a film about a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who takes a job to bring a man’s young son home and away from his alcoholic mom, didn’t get that memo. Literally two minutes into the film Dwight Yoakam’s character starts spewing character data on the past accomplishments and present failures of Eastwood’s character Mike “before the accident.” The expository dialog meant to tell us all we think we need to know about Eastwood’s character is breathtaking in its laziness. From there we see Eastwood go sit in a chair at home and watch a sunset after getting canned from his horse breeder job. This would have been a great place to show how this lonely man — due to a car accident taking his wife and son years before — lives. Earlier films in the Eastwood canon, namely the exceptional “Unforgiven” (1992) and “Million Dollar Baby” (2004), would have spent time with the character, following him around his sad, mundane tasks to give us a better understanding of his life. This film always seems to want to get us from one scene to the other, never taking the time to get us to really care. The issues lie in the contrived story and the performances, neither I care particularly about. It’s no secret that Mr. Eastwood is getting up there in age (he’s 91). A lot of people focus on that, which I find is missing the point entirely. An artist can make his or her art until the day they die if they choose. One just has to be aware if it’s affecting their art (in this case performance). For the most part, the film shoots around Mr. Eastwood’s limitations as an aging actor but misses the opportunity to play into the colossal

Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent age difference between his character and that of “Rafo” (Eduardo Minett), the kid Eastwood is tasked to rescue from Mexico and bring back to his father in Texas. The movie tells us that “Rafo” is a rebellious kid who is gambling, drinking and causing general chaos at the age of 13 but it never really shows us that. The first time we see him, there should be a strong general sense of fear in the kid and the possibility of danger for Eastwood’s character. Instead, it just felt like he’s a nice kid who is confused and angry about having a mother and father he thinks don’t really want him. He agrees to go with Eastwood fairly easily. I would have thought this would have been a whole section of the film where Eastwood has to really force the kid to go back to the U.S. with him. From there we have nice moments with the two, but no real sense of chemistry or bonding between the characters. Everything feels incomplete — from the relationship between those two characters to the “danger” (or lack there of ) they face trying to get out of Mexico while being followed by goons and police. Everything just feels too easy. Despite some of the casts’ best efforts (namely Natalia Traven as the love interest “Marta”) it never feels like a cohesive story but a series of quick scenes with no real payoff. This includes the last moments of the film, where we basically

ended the movie with a collective “That’s it?” as the credits began to roll. When the most interesting moments of the film come from a rooster, you know you’ve got problems. From a photography standpoint, the film looks beautiful, of course. Cinematographer Ben Davis (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) photographs the terrain and vistas of Texas and Mexico (actually filmed in New Mexico) beautifully. The movie looks great, which isn’t a surprise for an Eastwood picture. Last week I was flying to Texas (appropriate considering where this movie partly takes place) and I struck up a conversation with a woman who had recently watched the film. I asked her what she thought of it and, after a pause, she replied, “It was an honor watching Clint Eastwood in his final on-screen performance.” This biting response isn’t meant to be a compliment, as she felt his days as an actor had passed him by. I can’t blame her based on this movie, but I always hold out hope that like an aging boxer who always has a “puncher’s chance” to win the fight by landing even one knockout blow, the iconic Eastwood can give us one more incredible performance.

News release

nternationally renowned pianist Andreas Klein will perform at the historical Georgetown IOOF Hall Sunday, Oct. 10. In the genre of classical piano, Klein is a highly celebrated talent who will perform his program, Bach, Beethoven and Beyond. Klein is widely admired as a pianist of rare sensitivity and musicality. The Washington Post has praised his “articulate and flowing pianism” while the New York Times called him “a pianist who makes silences sound like music.” He has performed in many of the leading houses of Europe as well as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. After a meteoric start in his native Germany performing recitals and as soloist with orchestras, he attended the Juilliard School in New York, attaining a post-graduate degree. The highly focused and musical approach to every work he performs was nurtured by one of his early teachers, the great Chilean pianist Claudio Arrau. His was a philosophy Klein is credited with continuing. “Whatever the composer, whatever the project,” Klein said, “for me it is about being inside the music.” The IOOF Hall, on the corner of Highway 193 and Main Street, Georgetown, will open to Music on the Divide members at 2 p.m. and to the public at 2:30 p.m. The concert will run 3-5 p.m. Please plan to wear a mask for this indoor event. Advance tickets are available on Eventbrite. com and will be available at the door — $20 adults, $5 students and children 5 and younger free with parent.

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 website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-211594. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the

telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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 website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-211591. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Western Slope Health Center promotes Schroeder to Director of Nursing - Healthcare professional’s 31-years of medical experience includes 11 in skilled nursing facilities PLACERVILLE, Calif. (September 27, 2021) – Western Slope Health Center, a Medicare-certified, short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility, announced at the end of September the promotion of Suzanne Schroeder, RN, BSN, to Director of Nursing. She possesses more than 30 years of healthcare experience, including 11 in skilled nursing facilities. Schroeder previously served as the RN Supervisor for Western Slope Health Center for two years before the promotion to Director of Nursing. Before that, she served in numerous capacities, including in the renowned University of Colorado Medical Center of the Rockies’ oncology wing. Schroeder also helped open the Columbine Commons Health and Rehabilitation facility in Windsor, Colo., in 2013. “I knew Western Slope Health Center was where I wanted to be when I arrived in 2019,” said Schroeder. “The facility had the best reputation in the region, and our leadership continues to ensure we possess the resources to take care of our resident patients as if they were members of our own family. I’m grateful for this new opportunity to serve with the best team in the profession. Heroes truly work here!”

Utilizing a team of highly trained nurses and therapists, Western Slope Health Center provides rehabilitation services around the clock in a comfortable, caring, and friendly environment. The facility specializes in rapid recovery that facilitates its residents’ return to home as safely as possible. “Several of our rooms include kitchenettes, living areas, and private bathrooms,” said Eric Boyce, Western Slope Health Center’s Administrator. “Residents are encouraged to live as independently as their condition permits. That’s all due to the amazing team of professionals here, who Suzanne now leads. We’re excited to have her move into the Director of Nursing role!” Individuals can schedule a tour of the facility through Western Slope Health Center’s website, https://westernslopehealthcenter. com/schedule-a-tour/.

WE ARE EXPERTS IN

The historical Knight Foundry is open to the public for its monthly Second Saturday Public Tour Day, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 9. Docents are firing up the antique blacksmithing forge, pouring and crafting hot metal, re-creating the ancient art of tinsmithing and demonstrating the magnificent and still-intact machinery. Expert docents will be stationed throughout the complex. Foundry artisan-made pieces will be available for purchase at the gift shop. Those interested in doing more than watching can register for the fall Sand Molding & Foundry Practice

Workshop at the foundry, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23. In this full-day, hands-on workshop taught by Knight Foundry’s own experts students will experience the entire foundry workflow — from the basics of sand preparation and conditioning to bench molding and furnace operation. Staff will pour completed student molds in aluminum and provide feedback on casting quality and defects; students’ completed castings will be theirs to take home. Knight Foundry is located at 81 Eureka St. in Sutter Creek. For more information visit Knight Foundry on Facebook, email info@knightfoundry. com or call (209) 560-6160.
