Redistricting
City-based map favored
A grave cause
Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County residents were largely in favor of a city-based redistricting alternative map, one of nine presented at a third redistricting public hearing Thursday night in the Board of Supervisors’ chambers. Similar to the district map adopted in 2011, the city-based Alternative 1 map shows little change, except Union Valley Reservoir and the Rubicon Trail would be moved from District 4 into District 5. Three of the proposed maps consider cutting up tight-knit rural communities in District 4 like Kelsey, Georgetown, Garden Valley, Coloma, Volcanoville and Mosquito, which drew criticism from residents. “The (Board of Supervisors) is mandated to organize districts per population but it is also important to consider the geography and community cohesion on the Divide,” Cool resident Susan Yewell wrote to supervisors in public comment. “Alternative 1 keeps District 4 basically intact.” Supervisors agreed to keep tight-knit communities intact. “I think a lot of folks feel with this shortened, rapid process there is quite a bit of resistance to making drastic changes without the opportunity to go out to our communities and do a deep dive into how they might be impacted,” District 4 supervisor Lori Parlin said. Other alternative maps lump District 3 with some District 4 communities. Placerville resident and city Planning Commissioner Nicole Gotberg said joining the rural communities with District 3 would make it hard for the District 3 supervisor to do a good job of representing the interests of two relatively different communities. “The interests of the people who live in more rural areas like the Divide, Garden Valley/ Georgetown/Cool are significantly different than the interests of the people who live in the Placerville/Camino/Diamond Springs area,” Gotberg wrote in public comment to supervisors. “A person from Placerville may have never even been to Georgetown or Cool and vice versa.” The primary consideration for the city-based alternative map was city boundaries, said Jennifer Carlton, a geographic information systems analyst with the county. The favored city-based map maintains that n

its 75th season due to destruction caused by the Caldor Fire. A maintenance shop and equipment inside were destroyed while the resort and many of its buildings appeared to be spared, but Sierraat-Tahoe management says inspections have revealed severe damage to chairlifts and trees. “Although we have been working nonstop … on plans to open the resort, we want to let you know that we are still uncertain as to how much terrain we will be able to open this year,” state resort officials on social media this past week. “Detailed inspections of the entire resort have revealed that we will not be able
to offer you the same ski experience you have come to expect from Sierra.” Officials explained that the work ahead includes evaluation of damaged trees, particularly those along ski trails and lift lines, and to repair impacted chairlifts while also dealing with global supply and shipping challenges. “We’re not giving up, nor are we backing down from the challenge,” the post states. “We want you to know what we know. Our intention is to keep moving forward and to open what we can, when we can, to welcome you back to Sierra.”

John L. Branch
July 23, 1934 – Aug. 19, 2021
John Leslie Branch, a former Mountain Democrat news editor, died in his home in Escalon, Calif., after a battle with heart disease. Born in Peterborough, England, the family moved several times during World War II and he was 11 years old when the war ended in 1944. His childhood was spent in Bristol and he remembered seeing the fires of Bristol during the Luftwaffe bombings, as well as dog fights between British and German aircraft. He and his father would report the action to the local RAF command. As a young man, it was his duty to join the Royal Navy on the HMS Apollo. He discovered that as much as he loved the sea, he found service life as an able bodied seaman on a battle ship, and an air craft carrier, not his dream of sea-faring. He was awarded a place at prestigious Christ’s College, Cambridge University and graduated with a degree in classical studies, which included both Greek and Latin. He was proud of building a canoe and sailed down the river Wye. Looking for a career, he went to London to become a journalist and wrote for a magazine about boats and the sea. He met and married Jackie Clements and together they scraped up enough money to buy their first boat, the Clarinda, (a pilot cutter) and sailed away from England . Their adventures took them to the North Sea, through the canals of France and visits to Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden Norway and Italy. They docked in the French town of Menton, while first-mate and wife, Jackie worked in Monte Carlo. They sailed to America twice and for a while settled in San Francisco. They made some trips to the Gold Country and picked Placerville as their home around 1968. It was a small Gold Rush town where everyone knew everyone else. John was a well-known figure as a reporter and then news editor of the local newspaper the Mountain Democrat. Divorced from Jackie, in 1974 he met Donna Champion, who was a photographer for the newspaper. Fifteen years later they moved to Escalon, another small town where John worked as a reporter and editor for The Escalon Times and Riverbank News. A soft-spoken and gentle man, John also had an outrageous, (English) sense of humor. He was a dreamer, who never lost his passion for the sea. John leaves a loving family; his son, Peter Branch of Oregon; his son, Dustin Branch of Minnesota ; his son Evan Branch of Escalon; his daughter, Shannon McVeigh of Placerville and his sister Mary Scargil in England. In lieu of a memorial, John wished that his family and friends would take time to sit with each other, share their love, memories and perhaps to sip a glass of wine, tipped in his direction.
Kathy Odlin
December 21, 1949 – October 14, 2021
Kathy was born in Placerville to Charles and Louise Holder, she passed away at home in Placerville. Kathy is survived by her husband Paul, who loved her dearly, her sister Charlotte Woodside and husband Scott, her daughter Jamie and three grandchildren, Jesse, Hollie and Maddisen, and two great-grandchildren. Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers and one sister. Kathy worked as a cosmetologist, she worked at Denny’s for many years in the lounge and later as manager. She was working at Grocery Outlet at the time of her death. Kathy loved her family and friends, going to Starbucks for her favorite drink and taking her granddaughter shopping and to Apple Hill. Her kind and gentle spirit will never be forgotten. We miss you and love you, Nanny. A memorial service will be held Thursday, Oct. 21, 11 a.m. at Green Valley Mortuary, 3004 Alexandrite Drive, Rescue (across from Bass Lake Road at Green Valley Road).

Residents rally against student vaccine mandate Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The courthouse in downtown Placerville played host Monday afternoon to protestors demonstrating their disapproval of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all K-12 students. Dozens of adults and children alike could be heard chanting “No more mandates” while holding up signs that read “I do not co-parent with the government” and “Our children are not your lab rats,” among other messages of opposition to mandate. Announced Oct. 1, the mandate requires all students be vaccinated starting the term following FDA full approval of the vaccine

Dental lasers are classified as either hard or soft tissue lasers, depending on the intended use. New medical laser technology is being used many ways in dentistry and has a large range of applications. In some cases, it can even replace the need for the traditional dental drill. Lasers can be used to remove or reshape tissue, repair fillings, remove cavities, and accelerate whitening procedures. Some of the potential benefits of medical lasers include significant reduction of pain and quicker post procedure healing while reducing bleeding. The use of diode lasers, a type of photobiomodulation (the low-energy application of light to tissues), has produced a 100 per cent reduction in long-term bacteria.
Modern dental technology is the result of years of research by professionals dedicated to making dental care as painless as possible, effective, efficient, and long-lasting. For compassionate dental care, including complete restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and regular cleanings, our primary goal is to treat our patients with the best, most upto-date, gentle dentistry possible. Office hours are by appointment at our office, a very pleasant place to get a new smile! P.S.

California Matters
California bullet train funds again stalemated
W
hile Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 770 bills passed by the Legislature this year, he couldn’t approve a big one he wanted badly — a $4.2 billion appropriation to shore up the state’s muchdelayed, increasingly Dan Walters expensive and obviously mismanaged bullet train project. He couldn’t sign it because the Legislature, controlled by his fellow Democrats, won’t send it to him. Legislative leaders, especially Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, are disenchanted with the project and want the money to be spent, instead, on improving local commuter rail service. The $4.2 billion is the last bit of a $9.95 billion bond issue approved by voters 13 years ago on the promise that it Costs are rising would attract enough for California’s other financing for a $33 billion high-speed much-troubled rail link between San bullet train project Francisco and Los and Gov.

There’s been some construction, most notably some sections of viaduct in and around Fresno, but it’s years behind schedule and has only a fraction of the money needed to cover its ever-rising costs. Los Angeles Times journalist Ralph Vartabedian, who’s been a one-man truth squad on the project’s managerial and financial woes, recently reported that two of the San Joaquin Valley line’s major contractors want an extra $1 billion-plus for unforeseen costs. That would raise it to nearly $23 billion or twothirds of what the entire 800-mile system was originally supposed to cost. The $4.2 billion that Newsom wants is sorely needed to keep the project shuffling along, but the state is still a long way from having enough money to cover the entire cost of the segment, much less the $80 billion or so more that a full project would need. Rendon and other like-minded legislators see it as money going down a bottomless sinkhole rather

Letters to the Editor Bad decisions EDITOR: t is time to stop the proposed reckless spending under the upcoming Human Infrastructure Bill. The effects and impacts of all the federal money being dumped into the system is devastating to low-income workers and the middle class due to the skyrocketing cost of living and transportation. Our country is headed in a disastrous direction driven by bad decisions and policies. Gas prices and the cost of fuel to warm homes and energy costs, in general, are spiraling out of control. Food costs, housing costs, general living costs, supply shortages and inflation are out of control. The disaster at our southern border and out-ofcontrol illegal immigration is creating a threat to our national security and a vulnerability for future terrorist threats. The disastrous pullout from Afghanistan has caused a loss of intelligence resources in the region and increased the threat of terrorist attacks here on the homeland. Crime rates, murders and violence are going up all across the country due to attacks on law enforcement and reduced penalties and enforcement for serious violations. People’s privacy and constitutional rights are being violated through directing the IRS and Treasury Department to snoop into and monitor bank accounts and financial transactions over $600. For all this — thank you, Biden. Due to the issues listed above and many others, President Biden’s popularity and approval rating are plummeting. The biased liberal media is no longer able to mislead or cover things up. It is time to wake up and recognize all the damage and security threats these bad decisions and policies have caused and call for a new direction. JAMES BROWN Placerville

COVID misinformation EDITOR: want to point out that almost all the information in number of recent letters to the editor regarding COVID-19 is either non-factual or misleading. For example, statements describing moving beyond COVID or eradicating COVID, if everyone would just get vaccinated, are completely false. None of the vaccine manufacturers or the CDC
I
make the claim the vaccine provides immunity from COVID. It only lowers the risk of hospitalization. For now, it is here to stay — much like the flu. Other statements compare the COVID vaccines to polio and smallpox vaccines. The death rate for polio was estimated to be 15% to 30%. The death rate for smallpox is around 30%. Both vaccines for these diseases provide long-term immunity and prevention of the disease compared to the short-term protection the COVID vaccine provides. (Numbers cited above are easily found on CDC and other governmenthosted sites.) Many reports regarding COVID come from journalists who have no medical or statistical experience. Their calculations are similar to dividing the number of oranges by the number of apples to scare us about the number of resulting bananas. Other reports come from anecdotal reports from hospital staff not based on data. Find real data on the CDC site, which conflicts with most of the “sky is falling” COVID information often found and spread like wildfire. A recently released CDC study uses actual data — “Monitoring Incidence of COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths, by Vaccination Status — 13 U.S. Jurisdictions, April 4 – July 17, 2021.” The absurdly misleading headline from this study is that the unvaccinated are 10 times more likely to die from COVID during the study period — accurate, but misleading. The data state: Unvaccinated —Cases: 89.1; Hospitalizations: 7; Deaths: 1.1 Vaccinated — Cases: 19.4; Hospitalizations: 0.7; Deaths: 0.1 Times more likely for unvaccinated: 4.6 10 11. * Per 100,000. Time span: June 20, 2021, to July 17, 2021. With this representation you can see the unvaccinated folks are 10 (actually 11) times more likely to die from COVID. You can also see they are 4.6 times more likely to get COVID and 10 times more likely to be admitted to the hospital. Scary numbers used by those who want to scare you into compliance. But let’s look at the exact same data that look at the rates and actual risks: Unvaccinated — Case rate: 0.0891%; Hospitalization rate: 0.0070%; Death rate: 0.0011% Vaccinated — Case rate: 0.0194%; Hospitalization rate: 0.0007%; Death rate: 0.0001% The death rate for unvaccinated is again 10 times n

The 2022 election is looking good for Republicans
G
oing back to the first term of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, the party of first-term presidents gained seats in House midterm congressional elections only twice. Karl Rove reminded readers a few months Star ago in his Wall Street Journal column that since World War II, the average loss of House seats of the party of each first-term president in congressional midterms is 28. The largest loss was 63 in the first midterm elections in Barack Obama’s first term. This was after Democrats rammed through the Affordable Care Act without a single Republican vote. Given that Republicans need to pick up only five seats in 2022 to regain control of the House, Democrats who retain any sense of reality are concerned by the political atmospherics being created by their $3.5 trillion welfare state/Green New Deal spending blowout. But the very idea that there is something called “reality” is now
politically incorrect in today’s woke-dominated Democratic Party. The sway of Democrat “moderates” — that is, those who have not detached entirely from reality such as Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and Rep. Josh Gottheimer — is in question now that the Parker on-again, off-again vote on the trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, independent of the $3.5 trillion welfare state blowout, is now off-again. The infrastructure bill, $1 trillion of spending on public works projects like roads, bridges and trains, is something of more conventional pedigree in Washington, which we normally expect from our elected officials. The strategy of crazy left-wing House Democrats, pushing the $3.5 trillion welfare state/Green New Deal, has been to link this to their support of the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. If you want roads and bridges, sign off on the $3.5 trillion socialist dream. It had appeared that sobriety would have its day in Washington as the Senate passed, with Democrat and

Republican votes, the infrastructure bill, with understanding that the House would vote on it and Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushing back on the far left’s condition of linking this to the welfare state trillions. But lo and behold, the speaker backed off on scheduling the vote, and we’re back to the “roads and bridges on condition of the socialist dream” deal. One notable factor pushing things in this direction was a visit by President Joe Biden to Capitol Hill, indicating his support of the House far-lefties to link infrastructure to socialism. This could well do for the president’s ratings on domestic policy what his horribly botched exit from Afghanistan did for his ratings on foreign policy. Let’s recall initially the Democratic presidential nomination was heading to the far-left Sens. Bernie Sanders/ Elizabeth Warren wing of the party. Things turned around for Biden when House Majority Whip James Clyburn endorsed him, delivering for him the South Carolina primary. Clyburn’s endorsement was essentially an “establishment” endorsement of the Democratic Party. Clyburn cautioned against the farleft campaign rhetoric on issues like defunding the police.
Now Biden has put his presidential seal on that far-left wing of the party, and this will cost him. New Gallup polling shows recordlow trust in government. Trust in federal government handling of international problems now stands at 39%, compared with an average from 1997-2021 of 59%. Trust in federal government handling of domestic problems stands at 39%, compared with an average of 53% from 1997-2021. Earlier this year, Gallup polling showed satisfaction with the country plunging to 39%, compared with 53% in 2020. Satisfaction with overall quality of life was 67%, down from 84% in 2020; with opportunity to get ahead with hard work at 58%, down from 72%; with size and power of government at 31%, down from 38%; with our system of government and how well it works at 27%, down from 43%; and the moral and ethical climate at 18%, down from 32%. Given how Democrats are running our government, 2022 should be a big year for Republicans.

than being spent on projects that could be completed in years, rather than decades, and have a direct impact on traffic congestion in Southern California. A chunk of the bond money has already been spent on upgrading commuter rail on the San Francisco peninsula and the Rendon faction is seeking parity for its region. The odd thing about the situation is that Newsom himself seemingly was ready to abandon the project after becoming governor in 2019, virtually disavowing it in a speech to the Legislature. He then reversed course and said he not only wanted to complete the San Joaquin segment as then planned but extend it on both ends on the assumption that it could be linked to major metropolitan areas.

negotiating for months, ever since Newsom proposed to tap the remaining $4.2 billion in bond money, and the governor apparently was offered a roughly 50-50 split but insists on the entire amount. Diverting even a token amount of bond money would be tantamount to surrender and would whet the appetites of other urban areas for pieces of the pie. It’s really time for those in charge to put up or shut up — either telling Californians when and how the project will be financed and completed or calling it quits before it becomes an even more embarrassing train to nowhere. Newsom’s position — willing to keep it barely alive until he can will it to a successor governor — is somewhat cowardly for someone who purports to be decisive.

The Bruins had an 8-7 lead at halftime thanks to a 65-yard fumble return touchdown, an interception by junior defensive back Nicholas Buckley and a safety just before the first half expired. Ponderosa extended its lead to 15-7, when senior Ryan Hardt connected with senior tight end James Weiss for a 40-yard touchdown.

Staffing dearth causes basketball league lottery Sel Richard Staff writer Despite facilities and staffing challenges, the El Dorado Hills Community Services District announced that the Winter Basketball youth program is happening, albeit in a novel fashion. Coaches and participants will be chosen by lottery and teams formed based on geographic location with initial slots pulled from residents only. If space is available, the lottery will be opened to non-residents. In a program that usually fields more than 800 players, the lottery only allows 160 boys and 160 girls for a total of 320 participants. “This is a starting point,” insisted CSD Recreation Superintendent Sandra Montgomery, who has visited six local colleges and four local high schools in an attempt to recruit recreation staff. “We’re hoping to be able to increase that to more teams and expand.” With the year’s unusual job climate, the CSD has struggled to maintain all of its programs. “We have just enough staff to get the Adventure Zone and Senior Center up and running,” admitted Montgomery, who is currently also recruiting for the Teen Center. Regarding the basketball program in particular, finding facilities has proven challenging with schools reluctant to host
due to COVID concerns. “We didn’t even know if we would have access to the schools,” Montgomery revealed. “So we couldn’t gear up and hire a bunch of staff when we didn’t know whether or not if we could run the program … We want to make sure we have enough well-trained staff so this is our starting point. This gives us room to expand.” Resident and dad David Kaiser thanked the CSD for their efforts. “I really appreciate it,” he said, then asked that the CSD go the extra mile to keep participants safe. “If I’m able to coach again this year, I’m trusting that this will not be a race to the bottom in terms of just complying with whatever the legal requirements happen to be at the time. “When we’re talking about our kids, I expect you — I ask you to point to specific expert guidance and act in their best interest,” he added. Montgomery assured that all CSD sports programs follow CDC guidelines for K-12. The CSD is accepting interest submissions through Oct. 29.

Placerville (District 3) and South Lake Tahoe (District 5) remain in their current districts. Rural centers and communities of interest were a secondary consideration. Map alternatives have drawn criticism from Bass Lake area residents for being shoed out of District 1, which incorporates most of El Dorado Hills. Other maps that were considered but ultimately unfavored over the city-based Alternative 1 included the Serrano El Dorado Specific Plan Alternative provided by the Serrano El Dorado Owners Association,
which sought to keep the 4,500home Serrano community in El Dorado Hills from being split into two districts. “I believe we meet all of the qualifications for being considered a community of interest,” said Serrano El Dorado Owners Association President Don Sacco. Sacco also urged the board to consider keeping El Dorado Hills intact due to its relatively large population. A map alternative from the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce sought to divide the population of
El Dorado Hills into two districts, half assigned to District 1 and half to District 2. Board Chair John Hidahl said the chamber came up with the map as an example of what it wants but the map should not be considered an end result. The ninth map, the District 5 10% Differential Alternative, which would make District 5’s population 10% smaller than the other four, would
expand District 4 almost to Tahoe’s west shore with Pollock Pines being largely in District 5. The last redistricting public hearing will be held Nov. 3 at Board of Supervisors’ chambers. County staff and supervisors will consider making slight changes to map alternatives. View all redistricting map alternatives online at tinyurl. com/33fkrupj.

many demonstrations that took place Monday throughout the state. Hundreds took the protest to the Capitol building in Sacramento Monday morning, including El Dorado County residents, many of whom kept their kids out of school for the day to make a point. At the protest in Placerville was Shingle Springs resident Vern Boling who has three daughters younger than 15 years old attending Providence Christian School. He said they were drawing a line in the sand when it comes to vaccinating children. “I don’t believe the government has power to mandate anything on people,” Boling said. “Children don’t even have

the right to vote and we are supposed to be a free society anyway.” Somerset resident Susan Moskalets, whose children have already graduated from high school, was present with her 18-year-old daughter Vica. They said they were protesting against what is being considered an “experimental” and “atypical” vaccine. “We should have a choice if we want to (take the vaccine) or not, instead of being forced by mandate, which is illegal,” Susan said. Many parents at Monday’s demonstration made claims they are prepared to pull their kids out of public school as a “next step” in their protest.

Golden Sierra head coach Gregory Horsfall won his first career varsity game Friday over Highlands and his senior running back tandem of Travis Robertson and Moses Hermosillo ran wild — each scored two rushing touchdowns while going over the century mark. When one wasn’t carrying the ball, they were blocking for the other. “It was a hard-fought battle,” Horsfall said post game. The Grizzlies were originally expected to host Rio Vista this week but will now take on Bret Harte.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Satisfaction in a relationship depends on overlooking the shortcomings and fixing attention on what is working beautifully, which will be particularly easy for you to see today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may not seem like it, but you have room in your life for a new group of people. Dip your toe in. You’ll start enjoying yourself straight away and have something unique to contribute. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When honesty seeps uncomfortably into the situation, it means there’s something important, healthy and meaningful occurring. A degree of discomfort is necessary to an exciting and interesting life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are well-aware of the nature of an adrenaline rush. What goes up must come down. Every mood has its opposite, and the pendulum will swing. You’re ready for it. The thrill will be worth it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beware of mesmerizing opportunities. If you have to be hypnotized to do a thing, it’s probably not reasonable and likely not good for you either. Act as your own advocate. Seek straightforward arrangements. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). After a long string of making no mistakes, you sense a rebellious spirit revving up to take more risks. You very well may miss the excitement and drama of a good, old-fashioned mess.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What was bad is now good; what was ugly is now beautiful. Arbitrary and interchangeable labels are ultimately meaningless. So don’t bother trying to categorize; just accept what is. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do not try to get a zig out of a thing that clearly likes to zag. To learn the nature of things and let it inform your efforts is intelligent, respectful and, ultimately, the most profitable move. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the pretty words come floating to your ears, it is very tempting to hold onto them as though they were tangible enough to build on. They might be, but you won’t know until there are behaviors and facts to back them up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The only one who knows whether someone is good for you is you. Don’t listen to those trying to sway your feelings. Your feelings are loyal informants in your employment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Challenge yourself to drop your assumptions about who people are so you can learn who they actually are. Wishing people to be any certain way is the enemy of close, productive relationships. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One decision will change everything. That decision is entirely yours, but have no fear. There’s nothing to get right here, really. Let your curiosity guide you. What do you want to learn?

The El Dorado Hills Library unveils new play center Noel Stack Managing editor
“P
lay is essential to learning.” Noting numerous studies, El Dorado Hills Library Youth Services Coordinator Sandra Kelsey shared her excitement that the library has fully embraced this concept with its Early Literacy Play Center — a place in the library where children ages 0-5 learn by doing, whether its shopping at the farmers market, building on the LEGO wall, exploring shapes on the light table or playing with dinosaurs. Kelsey, who has worked for the library for eight years, explained that play helps children hone their reading skills, fine motor skills and storytelling abilities — all necessary for learning. The toys, puzzles and games in the Early Literacy Play Center are designed to teach without the kids even realizing it. A closet filled with additional toys, games, etc. will ensure the young learners never get bored. Parents/caregivers must stay with the children while they play — perhaps serving as the customer as the young ones run the farmers market or a pretend restaurant. The toys and furniture are cleaned and sanitized daily thanks to volunteers from the National Charity League, Kelsey noted. Friends of the El Dorado Hills Library provided funds for the newly renovated alcove, which was originally used for storytime when the library first opened and later became an extension of the children’s section. The renovation was nearly complete when COVID-19 shutdown the library in March 2020. Staff took the extra time to fine-tune the room, unveiling it to the public during a weeklong celebration earlier this month. “When our old children’s area became in dire need of refreshing, donors to the Friends of the El Dorado Hills Library came through with their generous support and made this renovation possible,” states Jan Robbins, branch manager, in a press release. “This new space will support development of essential early literacy skills,

Assistance League
helps Caldor Fire victims replace what was lost Jana Rossi Staff writer
F
amilies displaced due to the Caldor Fire received some much-needed assistance from the Assistance League Sierra Foothills earlier this fall. Working with El Dorado County schools, Assistance League Sierra Foothills volunteers identified 111 families displaced by the Caldor Fire. On Sept. 25, 48 families and 85 children, ages pre-K through 12th grade, were greeted at the Placerville Walmart where families were handed vouchers and gift cards and the children were able to participate in a shopping spree to replace lost items such as clothing and school supplies. “I searched for many years to find the right nonprofit to spend my time working with, one that had the same vision I did for the communities I serve. I’ve never met a better group of people who are more giving and loving and caring as the Assistance League,” ALSF Marketing Director WendiMae Davis told the Mountain Democrat. “Being a nonprofit, we are not like so many others where a large chunk of the money goes to administrative costs. We are all volunteers and every dollar we can possibly give goes straight to the less fortunate children

organization that works with local businesses, schools, youth sports organizations and merchants to provide services to the residences of El Dorado County. This year the Assistance League has helped 1,563 children and adults within the community.
The next fundraiser, the Jingle! Mingle!, will be held 1-5 p.m. Dec. 11 in Shingle Springs. All proceeds will benefit homeless and disadvantaged youth and adults in the community. For more information visit assistanceleague.org/ sierra-foothills.

consortium of professional advisors recently donated more than $8,000 to Caldor Fire victims through the newly formed Advisors Giving Circle, a fund launched by the Planned Giving Committee of the El Dorado Community Foundation. As co-chairs of the Planned Giving Committee for the past two years, long time El Dorado County residents Catherine Heath and Jeff Wood lead an education campaign to teach financial advisors how to give back to the community through planned giving. Although the committee has existed for more than 11 years, the idea of the Advisors Giving Circle is Heath and Wood’s brainchild. The fund joins CPAs, financial advisors, estate planning attorneys and insurance specialists together in pooling resources to provide grants to El Dorado County nonprofit organizations and initiatives. An Ameriprise financial advisor, Heath has a long history of community interest through the foundation’s Women’s Fund. Having grown up in El Dorado County, she forayed into the financial world during her college years,

She obtained her securities license and has been helping people with their finances since. “I just enjoy helping people with their money,” she said, adding that she loved seeing the impact her 12 years with the Women’s Fund has had on the community. But it was after she and Wood, a financial advisor for Edward Jones, began to voice a new vision within the Planned Giving Committee that the two really jumped in the fray. “We volunteered too many ideas at the meetings so we
were selected to take over as chairmen,” admitted Wood, a former professional golfer recruited into the business by his brother. “When we took the torch, it was to try to grow this and improve upon what others had done in the past,” said Heath, explaining that the Advisors Giving Circle gives financial advisors a way to venture into granting and giving back to the community through collective giving. The annual renewal membership was launched in August 2020 via Zoom. Despite pandemic challenges, the group raised more than $10,000 in the past year and planned to
start giving out grants in early 2022. “We were initially waiting until we could have an in-person meeting but then when the Caldor Fire happened and the foundation put together the community fund for that, we all saw no bigger need in our community,” said Wood. Eighty percent of the fund’s yearly contributions are earmarked for charitable organizations throughout the county with the remaining 20% applied to an endowment fund to compound growth for future giving.

Hands4Hope takes fundraiser to ‘the beach’ Esther Normoyle Hands4Hope Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference recently hosted the Endless Summer Beach Party fundraiser in place of its annual benefit dinner. More than 200 attendees enjoyed a fun evening with amazing weather, music, hula hooping and dancing with the Jay Rolerz Band and savory food from Bacon Mania and Authentic Street Taco food trucks. Hands4Hope Youth Board members presented their experiences with the youth-driven nonprofit and the impact their involvement has made on their own lives. They also shared highlights from the last year and a little bit about the programs for those just being introduced to the organization. Board and community members participated in this year’s Fund-ANeed themed “Rescue Bail” to go along with the beach party theme. These board and community
members were truly the key fundraising efforts for this event — in addition to the RDM Positive Impact Foundation and Dave and Sharon Handler, who matched bail donations up to $50,000. Hands4Hope leaders expressed their gratitude for this generosity, for the time and effort each Rescue Bail participant put into raising their bail and also for all of the donors who supported them. Hands4Hope leaders also shared their gratitude for the support from all involved, including the planning committee and board of directors and their belief in the impact the organization is making in the community through its mission of inspiring and empowering youth in leadership and service. A great time was had by all and it was especially appreciated after a year of not being able to gather. For more information on Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference visit hands4hopeyouth.org or call (916) 294-7426.

Heath and Wood said they hope current members will each recruit two new members in the coming year. “We want lots more of us so that we can do more,” said Heath, who personally knows many who have benefitted from the Caldor Fire fund. “These are our neighbors, people who we’ve interacted with.” “There’s a lot of different needs throughout the county,” insisted Wood. “We’re so happy that even just in a year during the pandemic we’ve been able to make a difference already. I can’t wait to see what we can do five or 10 years from now.” “It’s pretty amazing what we can do together as a community,” said Heath.

El Dorado Hills firefighters received baskets of goodies from El Dorado Hills Senior Council earlier this month as a “thank you” for all they have done during this year’s tumultuous fire season and COVID-19 pandemic. Senior Council representatives Doug and Marilyn Wright dropped off the baskets filled with special treats at El Dorado Hills fire stations. Above, EDH Fire Capt. Mark Ali, Deputy Chief Mike Lilienthal, Marilyn and Doug Wright and engineer/paramedic Mike Gygax, left to right, are all smiles after the Senior Council basket was delivered to EDH Fire Station 86.

good vantage point to enjoy the creek below. A great deal of effort has gone into a decorative rock wall, smooth trail surface and benches with an artistic touch. Returning to the main trail, you enter private property and follow a canal most of the way until you find a hairpin turn that directs you .04 miles back to Deer Creek. Follow the switchbacks and you will find a second tribute to Chinese pioneers and another bridge, information boards and benches. On the far side of this bridge you can do a short loop trail in the woods that brings you right back to the end of the bridge, not much more than a half mile. Take Interstate 80 east from Sacramento to Highway 49 to Grass Valley. Continue through Grass Valley to Nevada City. Take Broad Street into town. Turn left in front of the Nevada Theater, through the parking lot. Turn right onto the road
and follow the road around to Old Downieville Road to Champion Road. The trailhead is located on Champion Road. Champion looks like a driveway, but just after the cut to the left onto Champion you will see a wide spot on the dirt road that will fit four or five cars. Look closely and you will see a sign marking the trail.
