EDC elections seeing early ballot returns Dawn Hodson Staff writer Ballots continue to pour into the El Dorado County Elections Department. “We’re getting a really large return early,” said Registrar of Voters Bill O’Neill. As of Oct. 17, a total of 133,251 ballots were mailed to residents. So far 42,327 have been returned — 31%. O’Neill said he’s expecting a turnout of about 85%, saying 7,000 new voters were added this year since March. So far 4,000 ballots have been tabulated and 138 have been challenged. O’Neill said processing ballots is proceeding normally with the biggest challenge ahead being how they handle people who want to vote in person but won’t or can’t wear a mask. Those people will be allowed to vote outside a vote center. Voting at vote centers will take place over four days, starting Oct. 31 when vote centers will be open eight hours every day. On Nov. 3 they will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Find vote center and drop box locations and hours online at edcgov.us/Elections.

The El Dorado Hills Fire Board authorized the purchase of a new fire engine Thursday evening but may have to look into a second purchase should one of the department’s other engines be deemed unfixable. Engine 91 based in Latrobe — a 2001 Type 1 engine that rolled into service this past May after being refurbished to suit the community’s needs — was struck by a vehicle while the engine was stopped at the intersection of South Shingle and Latrobe roads Oct. 4. “Firefighters immediately rendered care to the occupants of the other vehicle.

Home damaged, 15 acres burned along Highway 50 in Cameron Park A wildland fire sparked by a Highway 50 motorist damaged one home and burned 15 acres in Cameron Park Sunday afternoon. The blaze was reported around 4:25 p.m. on the south side of Highway 50, north of Durock Road. “We know it was caused by a spark from the freeway,” said Cal Fire Public Information Officer Diana Swart. “It actually started in a couple of different places. The vehicle was traveling and something from the vehicle had ignited a few tiny little spots along the freeway. But the grass and wind pushed it a little bit; you get a little bit of a breeze

Bass Lake Park users prioritize amenities Sel Richard Staff writer “We had an amazing response,” said El Dorado Hills Community Services District Parks and Planning Director Tauni Fessler about the Bass Lake Regional Park community survey circulated in July and August. Distributed through the district e-newsletter and website, social media, school district networks and local sports leagues, the survey queried community members on their desires for the regional park. With 2,996 unique responses, the feedback was well in excess of the district’s expected 400500 responses. Additionally, 1,084 responses indicated an interest in volunteering. Bass Lake Regional Park encompasses an area of more than 200 acres, land that the
CSD has been in the process of procuring over the past few years; 142 acres were purchased from the Rescue Union School District in December 2018 and include Bass Lake as well as Sellwood Field. Earlier this year, 14.7 acres were purchased from the El Dorado Irrigation District and 41.7 acres from El Dorado County. Most recently, the dedication of Parker Development’s 12.5acre Village J Lot H was finalized in August. Survey results specified walking trails as the most desired feature, followed closely by a natural playground, picnic shelters and shade, a kayak launch site via floating pier and mountain bike trails.

Betty L. Franklin
Child on bike hit Diamond Springs in Georgetown man is missing Dawn Hodson Staff writer
March 21, 1931-Sept. 30, 2020
Betty passed away peacefully in her home in Rescue, Calif., where she had lived for 58 years. She was born and raised a city girl in Sioux City, Iowa. She had a strong curiosity and sense of adventure from day one. She married and had her first two sons Dan and Tim Closner. When that marriage didn’t work out, she headed to Southern California. It was there she met the love of her life George “Chips” Franklin while working at a restaurant. Together they moved their blended family (with Ben and Cathey) to Rescue in 1962. Their family continued to grow (Jody and Jack) as did their love for their community and their family business. Chips and Betty owned the Manzanita Room and Rescue Catering for more than 45 years. They were a great team and were no strangers to hard work. Betty took great pride in expanding their business, working with her family and starting new adventures. Whether she was catering on a movie set, wedding reception, luau, barbecue, grand opening or final farewell, she loved what she did for a living. Betty was a natural leader and never let the fear of failure stop her. She was the president of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, Business and Professional Women, served on Rescue Community Center Advisory Council and Green Valley Rural Telephone Co. She was a part of the Sierra Cultural Arts Center Association and a driving force behind the popular butterfly concerts. Betty had a zest for life and loved to travel, experience other places and try new things. If she was surrounded by family and friends that was even better. Every gathering included a meal and every meal included dessert. Betty leaves behind her daughter Cathey Daniels (Dan); son Tim Closner (Mary); daughter Jody Franklin (Jeff Mikkola); son Jack Franklin (Dorothy); 14 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren and a lifetime of treasured memories. She was preceded in death by her husband Chips Franklin; son Dan Closner, son Ben Franklin and granddaughter Ashley Franklin. A memorial service will be held at the Rescue Community Center on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 1 p.m.
A 9-year-old boy was injured when he was hit by an SUV in Georgetown over the weekend. The incident happened on Main Street near Harkness Street at about 5:36 p.m. Sunday. The boy was reportedly riding a bicycle traveling south on Harkness when he crossed in front of an SUV going eastbound on Main, according
to a preliminary investigation by the California Highway Patrol. The driver didn’t have time to stop and the vehicle struck the child, said CHP officer Sepulveda. The boy suffered fractures and was flown by helicopter to UC Davis Medical Center. The driver was not cited. Garden Valley Fire Protection District, Cal Fire and CHP responded to the incident.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.
THE FLOSSING SEQUENCE There is a reason dentists ask their patients at every visit if they floss their teeth. Flossing helps prevent gum disease and the sneaky cavities that form between teeth. And those who floss their teeth at all are already doing better than 70 percent of Americans. But it is possible you are making a pretty big mistake if you are flossing after you brush your teeth. Flossing releases food, plaque, and bacteria into the mouth, and if you have already brushed your teeth, all that is going to linger in your mouth until the next time you brush. Flossing first also makes brushing more effective by allowing toothpaste and bristles to reach areas that were blocked by food and plaque. Mountain Democrat photos by Kevin Christensen

Kevin Christensen Staff writer On a day that saw hundreds of marches across the nation for women’s rights, demonstrators on Saturday brought the message of the Women’s March to Placerville, gathering in front of the downtown courthouse. Women’s marches nationwide were also protesting President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick of Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month. “I fully believe this decision should wait until after the election and I am here for what RBG stood for,” said Placerville resident Katie Strong during the demonstration. “I have huge concerns about women’s health rights and access to affordable healthcare. I think those in government and Trump pushing this nomination through this close to an election is complete hypocrisy after they would not consider an Obama nomination almost a year prior to the 2016 election.” Saturday’s demonstration also encouraged people to vote with a voter registration drive organized by Michelle Greene of Pollock Pines. “I am here to stand with women and all groups of people marginalized in our society,” said Greene. “It definitely feels like a ‘double whammy’ as a Black woman right now because we deal with systemic racism and now women’s rights seem to be under attack. It’s kind of scary.” Greene, a resident of Pollock Pines since 2016, said since the March death of George Floyd, a Black man who had been in the custody of Minneapolis police, she has noticed more racism. “I was with my daughter in a local store and got yelled at to ‘vote for Trump’ and degrading racial remarks,” Greene said. “We must accept as a society systemic racism is real before we can do anything about it. Sometimes it’s more subtle and I think if you are not Black or a minority you might not see it.” Jim Curtis of Placerville was on hand to support his wife and daughter. “I want my daughter to grow up in a country that is fair to women,” said Curtis. “My question is: Where are the priorities for the president and senators trying to push (the Supreme Court) nomination through? There are more vital and immediate issues to be working on like another coronavirus relief bill passed so communities don’t fall apart. The country in 2016 had eight justices for almost a year and I think it will survive with eight for a few months in 2020.”

Everyone can benefit from preventive dental care. Experience proves it is to your advantage to take time for your oral health no matter how busy your personal or professional schedule. A few minutes spent each day on your teeth can not only help preserve good dental health, but it can also help you save on future dental visits. Nothing is more economical than regular dental checkups, so please let us help you take care of your dental health. P.S. If you are only going to floss once a day (twice is recommended) it is better to do so at night after you’ve finished eating for the day so that food does not sit between your teeth overnight.

California Matters
3 measures test attitudes on crime
G
ov. Gavin Newsom said earlier this year that as the state’s prison population continued to decline, he wanted to start closing down prisons. He recently made good on that intention when the Department Dan Walters of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced plans to shutter Deuel Vocational Institution near Tracy, which had been constructed in the 1950s as a place where young felons could be transformed into solid citizens. “Given the need to achieve savings and the decline in the prison population since 2007, the state budget called for the closure of a prison. (Deuel Vocational Institution) was chosen for closure based on cost to operate, impact of closure on the workforce, and population housing needs, and prioritization of public safety and rehabilitation,” Secretary Ralph Diaz said in a statement. The announcement is the latest manifestation of the immense change in California’s approach to criminal justice, from the lock-’em-up policies of the 1980s and 1990s — which increased the prison inmate populations eight-fold — to the “reforms” of the past decade that have reduced those populations by more than a third. Some of that reduction stemmed from federal court orders to decrease the severe overcrowding that developed despite construction of dozens of new prisons. However, it mostly reflected a leftward shift in the state’s political atmosphere and former Gov. Jerry Brown’s desire, during his second governorship, to reverse the tough sentencing policies he had embraced during his first tour of duty four decades earlier. Brown encouraged the Legislature’s dominant Democrats to modify the state’s tough sentencing laws, symbolized by the “three strikes and you’re out” doctrine approved by voters in the early 1990s, and personally sponsored one of several ballot measures to go easier on those convicted of crimes. In effect, Brown and others in the criminal justice reform movement have sought a return to the penal philosophy that California had adopted during the post-World War II era — that counseling, education, drug treatment and vocational training could convert offenders into productive members of society. It was the philosophy that led to construction of Deuel Vocational Institution in the early 1950s. The new reformist approach, however, is not without its critics who contend that crime will increase with fewer offenders behind bars, although there’s no statistical support for that, at least so far. The debate over whether reform is working has also found its way, as do many contentious California issues, onto the ballot via three propositions. In numerical order: • Proposition 17, placed on the ballot by a reformminded Legislature, would allow felons who have completed their sentences, but are still on parole, to vote. It’s a mostly symbolic gesture but draws ire

Letters to the Editor Best City Council candidates EDITOR: adly, we live in an era of extremes in government, often reflected by those in public office. Speaking for myself, I value elected folks who are thoughtful and realistic in their decisions. That is why I am supporting Jackie Neau and Mayor Michael Saragosa for Placerville City Council. Both of these candidates have proven themselves to be genuine Placerville supporters by giving years of countless volunteer hours. Many of these activities have been plain hard work such as cleaning up our trails and parks. Jackie has received an award from our police department for Citizen Volunteer of the Year. Why does this count? It counts because it shows Jackie and Michael are willing to put our community first. They have not done those jobs for money or for recognition. They have done it because they care about the quality of life here in Placerville. Jackie Neau and Mayor Michael Saragosa are truly qualified to be the decision makers we can all trust. They will get my vote. MARIAN WASHBURN Placerville

Thank you, League of Women Voters EDITOR: eople rely more and more on sound bites and social media for “news” rather than putting in the time to find the facts. I would like to thank the League of Women Voters of El Dorado County once again for providing citizens with another successful and insightful candidate forum. John Hidahl and Ron Briggs of District 1 each had the opportunity to answer the same pertinent questions. I urge you to watch the candidate forum video. It’s more telling than any paid-for mailer you receive or social media post you read. It is clear to me who came into the event wellprepared and stood out as the professional, well informed choice — John Hidahl. Supervisor Hidahl spoke intelligently and provided specific examples of the work he has done and will continue to do in regards to homelessness, law enforcement, school overcrowding, senior housing, community parks, open space and more. He took each question seriously and gave answers that allowed people to see how invested he is in continuing to protect our way of life in El Dorado Hills and the county. As telling as this was in terms of Hidahl’s
P
knowledge and preparedness, I’m sorry that I cannot say that I learned the same from his opponent. The fact that his dog and a squeaky toy interrupted the forum on more than one occasion was equally telling and an example of how each candidate approached this event. John Hidhal has proven to be a professional, intelligent, hard-working person in the District 1 seat. He has received endorsements from Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, former Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness, multiple EDHCSD board members, all of the EDH Fire Board directors, EDH & EDC Chambers of Commerce and the list goes on. Neighbors and friends, please, don’t be falsely misled, watch the forum and make an informed decision. Our amazing community is depending on you. NICOLE DOLDER El Dorado Hills
EID rates EDITOR: s usual Greg Prada cherrypicks so-called facts to support his false narrative. Let’s look at actual facts found in the Proposition 218 Notice required by the state of California, a copy of which can be found on the El Dorado Irrigation District website. The actual bill one pays is more important than any rate increase, but we’ll look at the increases first, since that’s Prada’s focus. Prada leaves out pertinent facts thus leads him to wildly wrong conclusions. For example, he includes rate increases in years 2010-2013 but ignores all the prior years with no increases. In recent years, 20142020, EID rate increases averaged less than 3% annually, 20.5% total for all seven years, a far cry below Prada’s ridiculous 102%. Now let’s look at a hypothetical EID bill, which Prada ignores because it fails to support his narrative. Your bill for 3,000 cubic-feet of water with a 3/4-inch meter is $113.64, $26.87 lower than the average for 18 water districts in our region and the fifth lowest. We all wish EID rates were lower, but freezing rates as happened prior to 2010 is not the answer and neither is cutting corners providing safe, reliable water. Directors Michael Raffety and George Osborne have voted to keep water rates reasonable and should be returned to the EID board for all that they have accomplished. By the way, annual rate increases since Raffety was first elected have averaged about 3%, not Prada’s grossly inflated figure. HARRY NORRIS Camino

highest average electricity costs in the country for California, except Hawaii, averaging more than 20 cents a kWh, almost double the average for the rest of the country. And then there are the blackouts and brownouts. If you think it’s bad now, wait another 15 years. If you think there were gasoline shortages before, wait until the brown/blackouts of 2035 when a few million EVs are plugged in. EVs are expensive to buy. Tesla, with an average sales price of their “low-priced” Model 3 at about $50,000, still loses money ... and lots of it. Its pre-tax loss for 2019 was about $655 million and when you add back about $1.5 billion in government subsidies (such as ZEV credits), that means Tesla loses about $2 billion a year. In 2019 Tesla sold about 367,000 cars (83% of those sales are Model 3) so that loss equates to an average loss of $5,500 per vehicle sold. To break even, Tesla needs to sell their “average” Model 3 for about $55,000. Hardly an affordable car.
In fact, only about two million cars a year are sold at a transaction price exceeding $50,000, meaning your average motorist (more than 87% of new car buyers) won’t be buying one. While there have been promises for more than a decade of low-priced EVs, they have yet to materialize. There have been promises of inexpensive “miracle” batteries and they also have yet to materialize. You hear they are just around the corner, but what they don’t tell you is that corner is located in a yet-to-bedeveloped subdivision on Mars. All EVs on the market today are either expensive like the Model 3 or are heavily subsidized by the government. Even El Dorado County has a substantial taxpayer giveaway subsidy if you buy an EV. Total taxpayer EV subsidies to the consumer can total more than $10,000. Even with all those subsidies, a Leaf or a Bolt is still about double the price of a new, economy car.

from criminal justice hardliners who say it would dishonor victims. • Proposition 20 is the hardliners’ response to the recent spate of laws that lighten punishment, including Brown’s Proposition 57, a 2016 measure that made parole easier for “nonviolent” inmates. If passed, Proposition 20 would make fewer felons eligible for parole, particularly those convicted of sex crimes, by changing the definition of “nonviolent.” • Proposition 25 is a referendum to repeal one of the Legislature’s landmark criminal justice changes, a 2018 law that eliminates cash bail for criminal

defendants on the assertion that bail discriminates against the poor. The bail bond industry, facing extinction, sponsored the referendum and is seeking a “no” vote to repeal the law, arguing that it allows dangerous defendants to roam freely and commit new crimes. Together, these three measures test whether California voters endorse the criminal justice reform movement or believe that it’s gone too far.

Subsidies are required to induce people to buy them. Without those subsidies, most motorists wouldn’t put up with an EVs limited range, recharging every night in your garage (if you have one) and, in California, the expensive electricity to power them. Unless subsidized by the taxpayer (or ratepayer), in El Dorado County the energy cost to power an EV is more expensive than your gasolinepowered, midsize sedan. If you drive a hybrid, energy costs to operate your vehicle are far less expensive. So what lame-brain dictator Newsom is really doing is taking away new cars for the common folk and only allowing the privileged class the
ability to afford new, personal (limited at that) transportation. Of course, he can again raise taxes so he can annually provide about 1.5 million $15,000 subsidies to the common folk. That’s only another $225 billion in new taxes. There won’t be any taxpayers left in California by then. If and when EVs can compete on equal footing with gasoline and diesel vehicles, you won’t need such ridiculous mandates. The best technology will always win. Until then, the governor is further destroying what was the best place to live. The best business in California right now are moving companies. Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.

State’s retired teachers make positive impact
A7
comics n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly
News release After years, sometimes decades in the classroom giving back to their students, California’s retired teachers continue to give back through their pocketbooks and their passion for volunteerism. Though some would say retired teachers and their pensions are a drain on the economy, these figures say otherwise: $15.7 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues; nearly 2 million hours in donated time worth nearly $61 million. California saw $73.7 billion in total economic benefit in 2016 from pension benefits paid out by state and local pension plans, according to the latest report from the National Institute on Retirement Security. Because retirees spend their benefit checks in their local community, their spending ripples through the economy as one person’s spending becomes another person’s income. The positive economic impact of California pensions is impressive by any standard: $73.7 billion in economic output generated by retirees’ spending 443,966 jobs paying $25.2 billion in wages and salaries supported by retirees’ spending $15.7 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues generated by retiree benefits and spending in
California $60.9 million worth of donated time from retired educators CalRTA’s members are part of that pool of retirees whose pension checks help stimulate California’s economy. Members of CalRTA also donated more than $600,000 in grants, scholarships and donations to schools and current and future teachers last year. Each year CalRTA highlights retired teachers’ contributions by celebrating Retired Teachers Week. This year’s event Nov. 1-7 marks the 22nd year the celebration has been held during the organization’s 91-year history. In 1929, as the country entered the Great Depression, a small group of teachers banded together to fight for retirement security. In addition to helping California’s educators, early CalRTA leaders went on to form other retiree organizations, such as Ethel Percy Andrus who formed AARP. “Our early leaders showed us what dedication, compassion and determination can accomplish,” noted Dr. James Mahoney, CalRTA State President. “Today we’re trying to live up to their example as we continue our fight for retirement security while also giving back to our local communities and protecting public education.”

and it just took off from there.” Swart said vehicle has not been identified and the driver might not even know what occurred. The fire was 95% contained as of press time Tuesday. No civilians or firefighters were hurt. In addition to damaging one home two outbuildings were destroyed, one of which was a shed. Swart said the fire could have spread into the businesses and office buildings along nearby Cameron Park Drive if not for a firebreak that was built in June. Jessica Garrison, a prevention specialist for the Cameron Park Fire Department, coordinated with contractors and parcel owners to put in a 30-foot firebreak at the end of Field Lane past the Denny’s and Motel 6. “That fire could have spread through that business and office area,” Swart said.
Bass Lake Park
Mandatory evacuations were in place for everyone north of Durock Road to Highway 50. Residents were able to return to their homes about five hours after the fire started. Firefighters will be in the area all day Monday to put out hotspots and smoldering trees. Damaged power poles are being replaced by PG&E workers. The area is open to traffic but Cal Fire is asking people to avoid the area to allow access for crews. Swart said it doesn’t take much for fires to start because of the dry conditions with no moisture seen in El Dorado County in months. “We just want to make sure that people are aware that they need to maintain their vehicles,” Swart said. “If people do their regular maintenance, if there are any issues, it could be addressed prior to something like this happening.”

of the planned park concepts, Fessler admitted to the necessity of compromising on a few items. “We are planning on a multiuse, wider trail for bikes and pedestrians. We want to make sure we are including as many activities as possible,” she assured, although a traditional mountain bike trail with jumps and other features has not been incorporated. “I don’t see that happening.” EDHCSD Board of Directors Vice President Noelle Mattock said she is also concerned with trail use. “One of the big things in our master plan is connectivity and multi-use trails,” she said. “I don’t want to set us up for another issue such as we have had with New York Creek trail.” There has been disagreement in the past few years among residents over what use should be allowed on the New York Creek Trail. A disc golf course, mentioned in 186 out of 790 comments received, was another feature that has garnered some attention but was tentatively removed from designs. “People want it but we’ve got one, two or three miles away in Cameron Park that we don’t want to compete with,” noted CSD board member Allan Priest. “We have a unique opportunity here. The habitat preservation and ability for us to have education that
doesn’t include active things like disc golf is so critically important. We go down that path one time and it’s forever lost.” CSD General Manager Kevin Loewen mentioned other competing uses in the park such as dogs vs. lake and waterfowl and sports fields vs. open space. “It’s going to be many things for much of the community but it can’t be everything for everyone and that’s the pragmatic part of it,” he said. “Hopefully people will understand that.” The current park concept amenities include a 2,500-square-foot museum and outdoor education center, interpretive signs nature trails, adventure inclusive playgrounds, bocce ball courts, sand volleyball courts and a dog park. Three lighted, multi-use sports fields are planned — one synthetic and two grass fields. A dock and boat ramp for kayaks or paddle boards (no motorized watercraft) and an 8,500-square-foot event center was added through the design process. California Environmental Quality Act and traffic studies are in progress and environmental reports should be concluded in November for public review. Docent-led walking tours are available for small groups by contactingbasslakepark@edhcsd.org.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Submissiveness is appropriate some of the time, but if you let others have their way too often they will begin to encroach on your space and ultimately take it over. Defend what’s yours today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Go on and position yourself right in the middle of the action (Hint: It’s never far from where a Sagittarius is...) and enjoy the sense that this is where you belong. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). They’ll set out to find the treasure, and you’ll set out with them -- not so much for the gold, but for the adventure. Your focus will be wide where theirs is narrow. Together you’re the perfect crew. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The heart you offer to your loved ones is soft but supportive -- like a memory foam pillow. And yet, you can be as hard on yourself as a marble sculpture of a pillow. Go easier on the you-toyou relationship. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Magic words fly from your lips. First, you say, “I’m doing it,” and next thing you know, you really are. No prior experience necessary on this one. You’ll learn everything along the way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ever the down-to-earth planner, this marks an unusual time when many of your wishes are floating above the stratosphere, far beyond realism. Or perhaps you were just thinking too small before. Spend an hour brainstorming.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel that you don’t have enough resources to properly do your job. But more resources won’t help now, since what you really need is a vision. Let yourself dream and moonbeams will light your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To say that a conversation is eye-opening would be a serious understatement. You learn way more than you need or want to know. You can use this, though not right now. Tuck it away for later. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you let others decide what to do, you won’t be blamed if it doesn’t work out. On the other hand, your ideas are so great now that it will be worth it to bear the risks of responsibility and leadership. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In matters of work and finance, your judgment will be particularly keen this morning. One shrewd decision will favorably affect the scene for weeks, if not months to come. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not ready to show your work, but you will be soon. When it’s time, you’ll still feel unready... but you’ll have filled in at least five more blanks. Today’s progress will bring great satisfaction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your ability to deal with difficult people is nothing short of astounding, and yet it could be argued that in your presence they can be no longer labeled “difficult” as you have a calming, taming effect.

MAKE THINGS HAPPEN at El Dorado County’s libraries
Celia Orona Special to the Democrat We sat across from one another at a large library table. Looking around, I saw the various ways in which the Placerville library had changed to accommodate the “new normal” — plastic shields at the check-out counter; hand sanitizers for patrons to use; tables and chairs spaced far apart; everyone wearing masks. I began the interview with Carolyn Brooks, director of the El Dorado County library system, with one key question: “How have you been able to address all the challenges that the pandemic has thrown your way?” The response was short and immediate: “I come from a family of strong women.” arolyn Brooks spent her early childhood in several U.S. states, including Colorado, Utah and New Jersey, but the majority of her life has been here in California.

El Dorado County Library Director Carolyn Brooks said her strong upbringing has helped her navigate difficult, COVID-19 issues. her, “... education is vitally important. My grandmother would tell us that we could do anything, be anything. We had to put our mind to it and education was the way.” Brooks grew up with a natural love
and appreciation of education. The result is evident in her extended family. One of her aunts was an elementary school principal; her mother taught at West Valley college in Saratoga; an uncle has a doctorate
in engineering. Other family members have degrees in engineering, math and administration. Brooks proudly described a decision her mother made while in her mid30s. “She was a Silicon Valley executive and

he Old Flume Trail (Red Shack Trail), just outside of Placerville in El Dorado County, is a history lesson as well as an excellent trek to the South Fork of the American River. The trail has been there since its inception Mary West in 1900 but the new Outdoor columnist parking area built by the Bureau of Land Management makes parking safer and access easier. The trail was a road to the river. This road crosses the historical ditch that moved water from Placerville to the ranches in the Gold Hill area. You can read about George and John Luce, who managed the flume from 1920 to 1924. The wooden flume is believed to be the tallest in the county at 153 feet and running 750 feet between the ridges. The flume is gone but the land was gifted to the American River Conservancy in 1999 for our enjoyment. The trail is wide but I would call this moderate to difficult depending on your fitness level due to the steep drop into the canyon — about 800 feet in less than a mile. It’s worth every step when you find yourself rock hopping out to a quiet location just below Racehouse Bend rapid on the South Fork. It took me a half hour to get from the parking lot to the river. I stopped to check out some spur trails along the way. But it took me nearly an hour to return to the parking lot due to the steep grade. Take your time, take breaks if needed and drink

My most recent hike on a cool and sunny day showed off the lush moss on the trees as green ferns unfurled along the canyon walls and a couple kayakers floated by. To get there, head out to Highway 49. About n

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — A local man and his co-host have turned a long-time passion and blog into a successful podcast. In 2012, Tom Romero was a law enforcement officer who was consumed by his job. So he decided to pursue a hobby to keep from being overwhelmed with work. That’s when the Toy-Lines website was born. But, the story really starts in 1982 when Romero was given his first He-Man action figure, which he still has. That’s when his passion for toys was born. It grew when early in his career, Romero posed as Santa at children’s hospital where he could share his love for toys. “There was one little girl who refused to go to bed until she saw Santa, so my friend got me on the phone,” Romero said. “I told her she needed to go to sleep so I could appear, so she went to bed as soon as I got off the phone and she was the first person I saw at the hospital the next day.” The website covers everything from classic collectors figures to the new figures that accompany the new Star Wars franchise as well as comic books and movies. It also has an online store. Romero has gotten more involved in the toy industry over the years and his readership has continued to expand.
In 2017 Romero moved to South Lake Tahoe since his wife grew up in the area and wanted to be near family. The brand grew in June 2020 when Romero started the Toy-Lines Podcast with his co-host, Ian Westhoff. Each week Romero and Westhoff talk about pop culture news or interview industry experts. Romero said his target audience is, “anybody that loves toys.” “Toys are generally made for children and those are the figures sold at retail stores and we cover that but we mostly cover the companies that cater to collectors,” Romero said. He added that they keep the content clean in case children do want to listen. “Because they’re the future adult collectors,” Romero said, joking that he himself never grew up. In addition to his original He-Man figure, Romero estimates he has about 600 action figures. “I’m a big proponent of doing things you love,” Romero said. “People tell me, ‘you’re in your thirties why are you still playing with toys?’ I’ll always be doing it, it makes me happy.” Romero is going to start hosting a new podcast that focuses on the Masters of the Universe and Westhoff will be launching his own podcast this December. The Toy-Lines podcast can be found on all podcast platforms and to follow the blog visit toy-lines.com.

Continued from B1
shaped the lives of her extended family: “When you grow up in poverty, you can’t sit and wait; you have to make things happen.” Both grandparents on her mother’s side were from Mexico, having to learn the language, the customs and the culture of what was to be their new home. Because education became the bedrock of her own personal values, there was no question that a college education would follow high school. Brooks received a bachelor’s degree in social science and English from Pacific Lutheran University in Washington state. This was followed with a move to the Bay Area, where she began her teaching career. After 16 years in the field of education, she returned to college for a master’s degree in library science. She and her family then moved to El Dorado Hills, where she served in El Dorado county libraries as well as working with the state library system. She and her husband Ken raised their three sons and one ‘unofficial’ foster son. It is not surprising that all four have gone on to higher education, thus continuing the family tradition that “education is the way.” In January this year Brooks was selected as the new director of the El Dorado county library system. It was a time to explore new ideas and methods and then … the pandemic. In March the mandatory stayat-home order was issued. By April the word came out: Libraries were to close. In a previous interview, Brooks described her first reaction to the mandated closure. “How will we continue to meet the needs of the community? How will we provide services?” She described that as a Latina, family and giving are both very important. “My family gave me the ‘R-gene’ — Responsibility,” she explained. “It’s part of who we are. We serve. We give back and contribute to our community.” All her life, a guiding principle has been: “If there is something to do, do it. We learned to get things
done.” She went on to describe how pieces of her life, seemingly unrelated, came together in a perfect fit to meet the crisis. “Everything I’ve done has led me to this moment in time.” Working with students of all ages has helped her in planning for the children’s section as well as working with the Placerville Teen Council. There were also the years she spent as an owner of an interior design business. “I learned so much that helps me now. Running a business, I had to be fiscally responsible, work with employees and know how to market my business. Time management was critical and I worked hard to build trust in the community,” Brooks said. It was a time for new strategies and ideas — a time for creativity. Brooks is quick to explain that she could not have done this alone; she gives due credit to her staff. Branch managers and their respective staffs met and worked out plans for serving the community. Doing nothing was not an option. She praised the staff at each library for the tireless work they put in to develop viable ways to continue with their mission, a mission that has expanded beyond the stereotype that libraries are only about books. An example of new strategies was the decision to take books directly to patrons who were doing their weekly shopping; meeting them at the local supermarket meant that patrons did not have to make two trips and they did not leave their car. Later on, “curbside” service was instituted at most libraries and continues to this day. Each month several branches distribute food and baby diapers — often in short supply — in partnership with other agencies. In discussing the new normal, Brooks said, “We will continue to meet the needs of the community. What has changed is the method. We need to find out what works and use it. For example, social media is now part of the library toolbox. The pandemic has just added another layer to the challenges of running

a library in today’s economy.” Although curbside service still exists, the library has opened its doors much to the delight of its patrons. All safety measures have been taken.

Cameron Park learning about the program. Kathleen Guerrero, executive director of First 5 El Dorado, explained how the library and First 5 work together. Classes and activities that address such issues as health, literacy and parenting are held at most of the county libraries and the program provides free early intervention services to families. First 5 and EDC Health and Human Services are two of the partners that make the HUB program possible. Impressed with the HUB program, Lucas said he plans to explore possibilities for other libraries to follow suit. Lucas mentioned it was more important than ever for libraries to develop partnerships, a practice ongoing in the county. For example, the Food, Diaper and Book Drive is an event sponsored by the Placer Food Bank, El Dorado Community Foundation, First 5 El Dorado Commission and the county libraries. Held the first Thursday each month, all items are distributed at no cost to families in need. Lucas’ words portend of lean years ahead. He cautioned, “The next three or four years will be unfriendly to our budget. Things will be on survival mode. “Partnership is essential; that way, individual dollars combined go farther,” he stressed.

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 916-9390772 or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 131175-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
