The Ish Trail
Brian Ishmael to be remembered in trail dedication Kevin Christensen staff writer Friday, Oct. 23, is Brian “Ish” Ishmael Day.

Warning against holiday gatherings, at Tuesday’s El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams said while the county remains in the orange tier of the state’s COVID-19 monitoring system it could easily slip back into the red tier if there is an increase in cases or positive tests. But Williams expressed confidence the county can eventually hit the yellow tier. Statistics show that as of Oct. 20, 33,444 people have been tested for the virus in the county. Of those tested, 32,142 tested negative and 1,206 have recovered. As of Tuesday there were a total of 12 active cases; no patients are hospitalized with the disease and there have been no new deaths. A total of four people have died of COVID-19 in the county since the county’s first case was reported March 20. Williams said it’s likely a vaccine won’t be available until 2021. With the holidays coming up Williams urged people to make alternate plans. Rather than traveling to gatherings, she suggested staying home with one’s immediate family. Public Health Nursing Manager Lynnan Svensson reported that 19 schools have documented COVID-19 cases. That includes 38 cases among students, teachers and staff with two cases due to exposure at school. All school districts in the county are open for at least hybrid instruction; one large and one small school district are doing classes in person. In total 30 schools have had 109 students, staff or teachers quarantined.

Court rules in favor of county in oak woodlands suit ■ Case holding up permit
approval
Dawn Hodson staff writer In a partial victory for El Dorado County, Bill Abbott, the attorney hired to try the case Rural Communities United v. County of El Dorado, reported at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting a trial court ruled in favor of the county with the exception of two narrow holdings. The court also issued a writ of mandate in the case. On Oct. 24, 2017 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 127-2017 certifying the Biological Resources Policy Update and Oak Resources Management Plan environmental impact report for the General Plan Biological Resources Policy Update Project, which included revisions to specific biological resource objectives, policies and implementation measures in the conservation and open space element of the county’s 2004 General Plan; adoption of an Oak Resources Management Plan including an in-lieu fee payment option for

impacts to oak woodlands and individual oak trees; and adoption of the Oak Resources Conservation Ordinance. In November 2017 Rural Communities United, an unincorporated association, filed a petition for writ of mandate challenging the EIR. Later the petition was amended to add Conserve El Dorado Oaks, an unincorporated association, and Ellen Van Dyke and Cheryl Langley as petitioners. The trial court ruled in favor of the county with the exception of two narrow holdings and issued a writ of mandate directing the county to decertify limited aspects of the EIR; augment the administrative record including missing reports and studies authorized by CEQA and described in the court’s rulings; and suspend the county’s authority to grant certain approvals. At Tuesday’s meeting supervisors unanimously voted to decertify the following conclusions in the EIR in accordance with the writ: The county’s determination that focusing on preservation of oak woodlands habitat in the Highway 50 corridor was not the best course of action; and the county’s determination that it was not feasible to focus on preserving oak woodlands within the Highway 50

corridor. In the discussion that followed supervisors noted the many complaints they have received from contractors and residents as they have waited for permits to build that are currently held up by the court case. It is not known when a hearing will be held where the court is informed that the board decertified conclusions in the EIR in accordance with the writ but staff said it could be a couple of months depending on the court’s schedule, especially in the wake of COVID-19-related restrictions. Supervisor Lori Parlin asked if the board could issue an urgency ordinance allowing permits to be issued to those not moving dirt or projects not affecting oak trees. Abbott responded that the board can’t pass an urgency ordinance that bypasses the court ruling but once they do have a date for a hearing, they can ask the court to reconsider the scope of the writ and perhaps modify it. Staff also noted that permits for work inside homes, such as adding a new water heater, are ■

Betty L. Franklin
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.
wEAThER
John S. Kurzrok, son of Barbara and Milton Kurzrok, was born Oct. 26, 1946, and grew up in Hillsborough, Calif. He pursued a life of hard work, always relying on his hands-on “get it done” approach, beginning with service in the United States Marine Corps as a Sergeant-at-Arms. This was followed by a successful career as an engineer, during which, among his many other accomplishments, he managed the technology for the Guri Dam in Venezuela, whose hydroelectric power station was once the largest worldwide. He is survived by daughters Shayna and Rayleen, and grandson, Aaron. John will be remembered by those who loved him as an amazing person who would do anything for anyone in need, sometimes to a fault. His daughters fondly recall that he enjoyed being on the road, behind the wheel, more than anything. His love for adventure led him to travel extensively for work and fun and his quest for accomplishment drove him to conquer the Rubicon Trail in his beloved Jeep Wrangler. So fond was he of anything automotive that he built “The Big Green Monster” truck and took first place in almost every truck-pull event he entered. He also seemed to have a lucky hand when rolling dice or gambling and once won a BMW in Las Vegas to his great surprise and delight. Nothing made him more nostalgic than trains and he fondly built an entire set for his grandson Aaron. John loved the RV life, camping at the beach or trucking around in the snow in early years. He always had a “hot” car, whether a Mercedes, Thunderbird, fastback Mustang Cobra or and in later life, tooling around in his “modern day” Cobra. He was perfectly at home grilling steaks and sharing a bottle of wine with his daughters, or joining his pals for a drink at Lance’s Place, when he wasn’t on the road. His smile was infectious and his laughter warm. He literally lit up the room everywhere he went. After a good life fully lived, he passed away in Sacramento on Oct. 7, after a long illness. A Celebration of Life will be held on Oct. 26 (John’s birthday) at 2 p.m. Location: Lance’s Place, 3630 State Highway 193 Greenwood, CA 95635.

After a lengthy illness, Rosemary N. Doyle passed away peacefully in her sleep during the morning hours on October 15, at her home in Hampstead, NC. She was 82. Born in Portland, Ore., she was the second daughter of Col. B. A. Nichol, MD and Dorothy Nichol.

Added gear eases firefighting fears El Dorado County Fire Protection District News release CAMINO — El Dorado County Fire Protection District firefighters recently received a long-sought-after second set of turnout gear. This additional safety equipment will increase the level of protection for area firefighters by reducing the likelihood that they will have to re-expose themselves to toxins from contaminated structural firefighting gear. It costs about $2,300 to outfit a firefighter with a structural personal protective equipment ensemble of a coat and pants. Funding was largely made available from cost savings in the fire district’s budget. The district purchased 63 sets this year and about half a dozen last year. Firefighting has always been a hazardous job, but the flames and heat are no longer the biggest enemy firefighters face. Due to modern construction finishes and home furnishings laden with plastics and exotic metals, fires in today’s modern homes present a more sinister environment. Not only do home fires spread rapidly from room-toroom, fires are also charged with high concentrations of extremely toxic agents such as poisonous gases and carcinogens. Because of these toxic environments occupational cancer has become the leading cause of dutyrelated deaths for firefighters. Up until recently when local firefighters contaminated their protective gear inside house fires, they often lacked access to a clean, second set of firefighting turnouts. This meant that firefighters were often faced with the need to re-expose themselves to contamination by putting on the soiled protective gear to respond to additional emergencies during the course of a shift. With a second set of turnouts firefighters will now be able to isolate their contaminated protective gear and have it properly cleaned — all while having access to clean protective equipment. In addition to routine cleaning of protective gear in-house, the turnouts will also receive professional,
annual inspections and repairs to assure they remain in compliance with safety standards. Access to clean protective equipment is part of the district’s efforts to address health and wellness concerns, especially in the area of cancer reduction. “Occupational cancer rates have been on the rise, at an alarming rate, for firefighters for years,” said Tim Cordero, chief of the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. “As a 30-plus year member of the district and now as the fire chief, this is a milestone toward protecting the health and safety of our firefighters,” said Cordero. “The days of our fire-fighters responding to calls wearing turnouts laden with toxic carcinogens after fighting a fire are behind us. Moving forward our firefighters will no longer have to contend with getting through their shift or tour of duty with turnouts that are not clean and free of toxins, as they now have clean and properly fitted gear waiting for them at their firehouse.” The district is working to further reduce hazardous exposure for firefighters by adding additional specialty extractors to fire stations for laundering turnouts and expanding shower facilities to reduce the time firefighters have to wait to wash contaminants from their skin. These measures have been a challenge to implement not only due to fiscal constraints but also limitations of aging fire stations. “Providing these turnouts and other safety measures requires significant financial commitment by the fire district, however, our firefighters must be provided the necessary tools to safely do their jobs and we have an obligation to ensure their health and safety,” said Cordero. “We will continue to explore other areas within our district to improve the health and safety of our firefighters and reduce the cancer rates we have seen within our district.” The El Dorado County Fire Protection District provides fire and emergency medical services in the communities of Placerville, Shingle Springs, Pollock Pines, Camino, Pleasant Valley, Cool, Coloma, Lotus, Pilot Hill, Pleasant Valley, Oak Hill, Strawberry and Kyburz.

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” God’s words in 2 Chronicles 7:14
Are you a member of God’s family? America is in trouble, but this passage tells us that God will heal our land if His people humble themselves, pray, seek Him, and turn from their wicked ways. So let’s get serious, and take this to heart, and pray as King David did in Psalm 139:23-24— “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

California Matters
Misusing taxpayers’ money for campaigns
C
alifornia voters are not only voting on presidential, congressional, legislative and local government offices and a dozen statewide ballot measures but deciding the fate of 234 local tax and bond measures. The California Dan Walters Taxpayers Association estimates that, if passed, the local tax measures would raise about $1.5 billion a year in new revenues. The proposed bond issues, mostly for schools, total nearly $15 billion and their passage would automatically trigger increases in property taxes to repay lenders. These are hefty financial stakes and the local officials who placed measures on the ballot have reason to worry about their passage. Voters rejected 62% of the 239 local measures on the March 3 primary ballot — and that was before the COVID19 pandemic struck home, the state’s economy plummeted and more than two million jobs were erased. The recession that’s still raging is a two-edged sword for local government and school officials. It has cut their tax revenues sharply and also tends to make voters even more leery about paying higher taxes. City council members, county supervisors Local California and school trustees are officials routinely tempted, in their zeal to persuade voters to vote and illegally for new taxes and bonds, misuse taxpayer to violate a state law funds for political prohibiting them from using taxpayer funds for campaigns and campaign purposes. only one agency Government Code tries to stop it. Section 54964 forthrightly declares, “An officer, employee, or consultant of a local agency may not expend or authorize the expenditure of any of the funds of the local agency to support or oppose the approval or rejection of a ballot measure, or the election or defeat of a candidate, by the voters.” In fact, such violations have become commonplace in recent years. Under the guise of providing “information,” local officials routinely hire campaign management firms to design advertisements, mailers and other material aimed at persuading voters to pass the proposed taxes and bonds. They have done so because they know that state and local prosecutors just as routinely refuse to prosecute violations of Section 54964 by their fellow officeholders. The only investigative agency to interest itself in such violations is the California Fair Political Practices Commission and while the FPPC lacks authority to enforce Section 54964, it can treat

Letters to the Editor It is time ... to elect George Turnboo EDITOR: t’s time to vote and put a George Turnboo on the Board of Supervisors for District 2. I met George a number of years ago and I knew within a minute that he is a man with passion and love of El Dorado County. George is one who will look you in the eye and tell you what he thinks. And when he says it, he means it. I grew up with men who were like that in my grandfathers and father; they also called El Dorado County home. I know he will stand up for keeping the county a safe place where we are all proud to live and raise our families. George will stand with law enforcement and not with the progressives who want police reform. which is code for defunding the police. He also is not a bureaucrat who wants to add another paycheck under his belt at taxpayer expense. I’ve told you what he is not so let me tell you what he is. He is a man ready to tackle and fix the problems and mistakes made by past politicians in this county. He is a business owner who knows what it takes to work hard and succeed. He’s a man of God and spends a lot of his time helping anyone and everyone who may need help. I think all of El Dorado county would benefit from having someone like George Turnboo on the board. Let’s not make the mistake of electing another bureaucrat into our local government; we have enough of them in Sacramento. Please vote for and help elect George Turnboo for Supervisor, District 2, helping keep America great and making El Dorado County great again. STEVE TYLER Somerset

Ken Pimlott for District 2 EDITOR: en Pimlott has spent his life in service to the public, both as a firefighter and as the chief of Cal Fire. His breadth of knowledge and his experience will serve the county well. Because Ken has lived in Cameron Park for 18 years and is building a home in South County, he is can really understand the issues of District 2. These are difficult times. Ken will bring the kind of leadership that will work to solve problems, not just complain about them. The solution to any problem can be found by working together. We know this is true in our own lives and families. It is equally true in all levels of government. Our government is us. We all play a role in electing responsible leaders and
K
in expecting our leaders to serve our collective needs. If we elect people who collaborate, work together, focus on finding solutions, our problems will get solved — not easily, not automatically, but with hard work together. There are many dedicated people working together on behalf of all of us to navigate through these rapidly changing times. Ken will work with them, drawing on his talents and years of experience, focusing on identifying and implementing the best solutions. Please vote for Ken Pimlott for El Dorado County District 2 supervisor. JAKE WILSON Cameron Park
McClintock’s obfuscations EDITOR: ccording to Tennessee Williams: “The only thing worse than a liar is one that’s also a hypocrite.” McClintock qualifies on both counts. His motto seems to be: “Why tell the truth when a lie will do?” He claims “... the GOP gave us the most successful economy in our lifetime,” Unfortunately, GOP corruption and deregulation of banks gave us the 2007 recession. By 2016, Obama’s economy inherited by Trump had mostly recovered from the Bush recession. However, Trump’s obsession with his re-election and his concomitant decision to ignore COVID-19 turned a good economy into a tragedy: 210,000-plus dead and millions unemployed. Facts do not cease to exist because McClintock chooses to ignore them. Please focus not on what McClintock says, but on what he hides — e.g. his tireless efforts to eliminate Obamacare, including protection for pre-existing conditions affecting 125 million to 138 million Americans. McClintock himself benefits from government-paid healthcare insurance; why doesn’t he want you to have it? Such hypocrisy! In the name of “free Enterprise,” McClintock would also throw more than75 million Medicaid recipients under the bus. He proposes to turn our entire medical system over to insurance companies. As an added fillip to his donors, McClintock advocates the privatization of Social Security. Imagine your health and retirement benefits depending on Bernie Madoff ’’s good graces. McClintock advocates for more tax cuts that would go to billionaires, insurance companies, banks, big oil — the same people who received 85% of the

yellow vests and masks. We saw a few American flags on pickups and many BLM banners. They were angry and determined. We crept forward on an unknown road surrounded by protestors and counter protestors. The protestors had taken control of every intersection, blocked by their vehicles with license plates that identifies them from different states. There were no police. We were on our own. Our GPS identified an alternative route coming up on our left. It was however, blocked by vehicles and yellow vested protestors. I did note a narrow space between one vehicle parked at the intersection and the grass island that separated the highway. When the nearest yellow vested protestor looked away, I made an instant decision. We could have stayed in that endless line of traffic moving to an unknown location. There were no signs of violence, so we were likely safe in our
RV. However, it was the endless line of traffic moving toward an unknown destination, and the intimidation by thugs that made the decision for us. Accelerating a 6,000-pound RV across three lanes of traffic while making a left turn through a narrow space between parked vehicles was not fast but it was intimidating. Protestors moved aside. Once free, we programmed our GPS for an alternative route. The I-5 remained closed for the balance of the day. We later learned the protestors turned more violent. A few takeaways from this experience: • Don’t follow the crowd unless you know where they are going. • Once you know you are headed in the wrong direction, reverse course. • It helps to move a crowd if you’re inside 6,000 pounds of steel.

agencies that step over the line dividing information from advocacy as campaign contributors. Recently, for example, the FPPC targeted the County of Los Angeles, which in 2017 spent a million dollars for an ill-disguised, but successful, campaign to pass Measure H, a quarter-cent increase in the sales tax. The campaign included broadcast commercials in English and Spanish that used the slogan “Real Help. Lasting Change.” County officials, without admitting liability, agreed to pay the FPPC a $1.35 million penalty for failing to report their spending as a campaign contribution. However, that pales in comparison to the estimated $355 million a year that Measure H’s passage will generate. The FPPC recently invited the public to use its “AdWATCH” program to monitor the materials
local officials are using to promote their tax and bond measures and upload questionable items to the agency for examination and perhaps investigation. “The public can play a vital role in helping our enforcement division in making sure campaigns and public agencies are following the rules and ensuring a level playing field,” FPPC Chair Richard C. Miadich said in a statement. The FPPC’s efforts are welcome, despite being an indirect and relatively weak way of discouraging improper use of taxpayer funds for campaigns, but it’s likely to be the only way as long as prosecutors refuse to enforce the law.

2017 cuts. My wife and I are middle class, but our income taxes went up the last two years. This year we’re sending the IRS a check for $750, the yearly maximum Trump has paid over the past 10 years.

El Dorado Trail still under attack EDITOR: or nearly 10 years Jackie Neau has led the attack of the El Dorado Trail. Placerville and El Dorado County have been under attack and risk losing a near-38-mile piece of history — the historical railroad that meanders from Missouri Flat to the county line. This attack, over and over again, needs to stop. The rails operated by the El Dorado Western and Placerville Sacramento Railroad for excursion rides (allow) families to explore and learn about the history of lumber and mining in our county. Today, the El Dorado Transportation Commission, El Dorado County Parks and Recreation and our EDC communities have proven the best use of the corridor — a scenic excursion/dinner train from Missouri Flat to the county line and reverse (with a) beautiful paved path that meanders next to the railroad and our earthen trail on the other side of the rail. It’s beautiful. This is the future of the El Dorado Trail, but not with Jackie Neau. She has attacked the volunteer rail groups, EDC Museum, EDC Parks and Recreation Commission and many individuals, causing arguments to drag out for years. Now is certainly not the time to put someone like this in an elected position and I would encourage voters who want to maintain our history to not support someone with destructive ideas.

Initiatives EDITOR: he El Dorado County Republican Central Committee met to discuss the Nov. 3 ballot initiatives. Although several measures were obscurely worded, we voted unanimous approval for the positions recommended in this letter. These propositions are far more complicated than this brief letter portrays. The points presented were the main talking points during our discussion. This is a private letter and was not officially approved by the EDC Republican Central Committee. Proposition 14: Authorizes $5,000,000,000 in state bonds to fund stem cell research. Earlier state taxpayer supplied medical research funds were spent without result. No. Proposition 15: While this proposition claims to provide additional funding for schools, it is actually a plan to alter Proposition 13 by reassessing commercial property as a funding source. This is the Prop. 13 split roll initiative. No. Proposition 16: This affirmative action initiative would extend preferential treatment to people of some races by holding higher standards for people of other races. No. Proposition 17: This restores the right to vote to 40,000 formerly incarcerated Californians. No. Proposition 18: Permits 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections. No. Proposition 19: This measure sounds so good until you find out how it is funded. It is funded by reassessing farmland upon a farmer’s death. This means farms that have been in the same family several generations would be hardest hit. No. Proposition 20: Authorizes felony sentences for some crimes that were changed to misdemeanors by AB109 such as raping an unconscious woman. Yes. Proposition 21: Expands the authority of state government to enact rent control on residential
T
property. No. Proposition 22: Corrects part of AB5 by permitting delivery drivers to work part time. Yes. Proposition 23: Forms a State agency to regulate kidney dialysis clinics. No. Proposition 24: Amends consumer privacy laws. This creates another state agency. No. Proposition 25: This referendum is worded more obscurely than the 2018 gas tax repeal. A no vote repeals SB10 and supports the return of bail bonds. No. Except for measures 20 and 22, these measures continue the intrusion of big government in our lives. To keep government small and local, vote no on every proposition except 20 and 22. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville
Law and order EDITOR: epublican, are you really the “law and order” party? Just because you advocate for guns and follow a president who touts he’s the “law and order” president does not truly mean you are. In the age of a worldwide pandemic your petulant hypocrisy has been revealed. It’s hypocrisy that is a bad example to your children and will ultimately leave you on the wrong side of history. Your president scoffs at the law daily and lies continuously. No to mention your regressive ideals and devotion to a constitution written with a feather by men you revere as gods and infallible, who would openly be ashamed of our society and inability to adapt it for the times and better society as whole. We are on path to perfect union, yet you insist it was once perfect and try to drag society backward. It never was and your romanticized illusion of society back then is false. Your regressive ideals that insist we are a Christian society — when we clearly left Europe to escape religious persecution — is absurd. The only way to advance is to “progress.” It’s the most basic, fundamental aspect of human beings. You are a child of the world, not a country, first. It’s shameful the Republican Party has chosen to make a stand on individual freedoms around a mask that can save lives. Never mind your petty complaints being embarrassing. Let’s set the record straight. Yes, we should protect our individual freedoms but we should accept we live in connected society where our actions affect others. Let’s also accept our individual freedoms have always been infringed upon by government; they are called “laws” — things like seatbelts, obeying traffic laws, taxes and not walking around punching people. They are put in place because they make sense. Businesses also have their rights with laws like “no shirt, no shoes, no service,” right? Does the GOP choose any of those as their war cry against freedoms? No, it’s here in 2020 where the GOP has been exposed as cowardly with false patriotic “law and order” people defying a mask “mandate, law, guideline” put in place to save lives — maybe even their own. They pretend it’s some complicated thing to do when it’s as easy as putting on sock(s). They tout false statistics or minimize like Trump, standing proud by a flag they feel makes them individuals and free. In reality they are sheep and heartless, caring about themselves and their pride over their neighbor. Let’s say it saves 10 lives? Is it not worth? GOP, science will always beat your faith. When 99% of scientists say you are wrong and nearly as many say masks save lives, ask yourself: Will you be on the right side of history? I think not. Look at your loved ones and ask what if it was them who died from this pandemic? Maybe it will sink in that wearing mask is not too much to ask, especially if it’s just pride holding you back.

he annual aspen, cottonwood and willow color show in the high country is under way. It has been for the last couple of weeks. When the days grow shorter and overnight temps drop it’s time to head out to see what this year’s show has in store for us. It doesn’t last long and it’s never the same. The State Route 88 corridor, from Silver Lake to Woodfords, has loads of aspen groves, willows and cottonwoods along the west fork of the Carson River. It is never an all-at-once yellow, red, pink and orange blast of wonderment. From one end to the other it’s a continuing ebb and flow of color. The show generally starts at one of two places: Wylder Hope Valley (formerly Sorensen’s) or up at Monitor Pass. Monitor pass is a great place to visit as there are some very extensive aspen groves up there. Traveling east on State Route 88 to Woodfords takes you past cottonwoods along the river but keep

CHARLIE FERRIS going, make the turn to Markleeville, then head up to Monitor Pass. It’s worth it, even if the aspens up there are mostly done. On the way back, heading west on State Route 88, take the time to pull off onto parts of the old highway that runs along the river. You’ll be engulfed by stunning, colorful cottonwoods if you get there before they are way past their prime. Getting to Hope Valley from the West Slope of El Dorado County is easy. Head east on Highway 50 and when you get to the roundabout in Meyers, make the turn to Luther Pass and Hope Valley on State Route 89. Or take Mormon Emigrant Trail out of Pollock Pines to meet up with State Route 88. Along State Route 89

being approved but that at present an estimated 37 to 50 permits are still on hold due to the court case. Those people calling into the meeting amplified that message as they expressed frustration with the delays in getting permits for construction work already approved. Supervisor Brian Veerkamp also pointed out the
county has lost money while the case has been in court. Abbott said once they file a request with the court to discharge the writ, they believe the county will be able to move forward with permitting. He added that if there is a delay in a hearing, they can always ask for specific relief for permit applicants.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever the issue, at its very root, it’s as old as a people is. What’s been written about it? Look it up and you’ll find that the problem has been as well-addressed in the last decade as it was in the last millennium. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel like you’re just making up reasons to celebrate, and maybe you are, but if you don’t do this, when exactly will celebrations occur? Not nearly often enough. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Fear is not the enemy; it’s just a message that goes off when triggered, like a car alarm. Also like a car alarm, it often goes off for reasons other than it was designed for. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your body has a deep, ancient and intuitive intelligence, which is separate from your mind. Your health gets better when you think less, listen to your body and give it what it needs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The key to amassing friends who truly enrich your life is to be excellent at spotting the stranger or acquaintance who has great potential. First impressions are key. You can trust today’s perceptions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The way to win the competition will be to not compete. If you sense someone is trying to outdo you, give them the props they are looking for, and then take yourself out of the game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is it possible to be always at peace in a world that is not? Well, if anyone can do it,
you can. As you accept, bit by bit, the reality you’re living in, you see ways to work with what is in order to create what might be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). They warn against burning bridges. What about just disappointing the bridge a little? It may be impossible not to. It’s inevitable that a bridge will get a bit worn out by the crossing, and that’s the nature of the journey. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To enjoy pleasurable moments and then let go makes for a happier experience, though it’s difficult to pull off. It’s only human to try to keep pleasure on the line, even though pleasure will always cut bait. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Reconsider your shopping cart before you press the buy button. As the scholar Roger Corless said, “Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As much as you’d like to be sure that committing to an action will bring the intended result, such assurances are not always on offer, and even when they are, they are not always true. Take the next step and see what happens. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Every decision has an obvious price and a payoff, as well as many subtle effects that are not obvious at all. But you, being astute, will pick up on them and account for them accordingly.

way through the color corridor of Hope Valley. What will you see? The span of color is pretty good this year. The Hope Valley area is at peak right now, according to Californiafallcolor.com. Yellows are vibrant this year. Groves with pinks and reds mixed in with the golden yellows and oranges are plentiful. Blue Lakes Road is a good bet for more color. Getting off the beaten path, especially on foot, can put you into the full autumn splendor of the high country. The sounds, smells and sights are very different than just a few weeks ago. Silver Lake, Woods Lake, Caples Lake are more than worth some of your time.

Take the time to enjoy all of it. You won’t be alone out there, especially on weekends. It seems like everyone has the same idea these days. The color show in the Tahoe Basin is worth the effort as well. Spooner Summit has an outrageous batch of color and the show continues down into the American River Canyon. When the high country colors begin to fade Highway 50 from Echo Summit to Placerville can be pretty amazing. Remember to take snacks, goodies and peanut M&M’s with you. Wylder Hope Valley and the Hope Valley Cafe are your only choices for lunch along State Route 88. Plan ahead. Remember to practice social distancing and wear a mask when appropriate. It is up to all of us to take care of each other. Enjoy the color show. Get outside.
Spooky?

That includes exposures that occurred at school and for other reasons ascribed to excessive close contact, lapses in not using a mask, in special needs classrooms or during sports activities. Supervisor John Hidahl brought up the low death rate in the county and the need for more local control, saying businesses should reopen and children should be back in the classroom. On a related matter Supervisor Brian Veerkamp recommended the board appoint a delegate to an Oct. 29 conference of north state representatives to discuss reopening California’s economy, reopening of schools and actions in response to the state of California’s threat to withhold entitled funds to counties. An item continued from the Oct. 13 meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton reported 15 to 16 counties have been
invited to the conference plus legislative representatives. The letter, which was signed by Assemblymembers James Gallagher, Kevin Kiley and Megan Dahle along with Senators Jim Nielsen and Brian Dahle, states, “The governor has assumed broad powers during this open-ended emergency and through his Department of Public Health has instituted arbitrary and capricious rules that restrict and severely limit the ability of our citizens to preserve their livelihood. The education and mental health of our children languish under inadequate distance learning when our schools could be safely reopened. “All of this has been done by the dictates of one man and a select group of bureaucrats,” continues the letter. “There has been no representative government. In fact, despite our protests, our Legislature has
been complicit and failed to provide any check against this gross abuse of power. Worst of all the governor’s machinations have been guided by politics and the influence of Sacramento special interests more than public health and the wellbeing of our citizens.” The letter accused the governor of using the threat of withholding CARES Act dollars and other funds to force compliance and of tolerating an “incompetent” Employment Development Department that does not pay entitled benefits to citizens. Sheriff John D’Agostini said he was interested in attending the conference but two different motions to send a representative to the conference failed on a three-to-two vote when the board couldn’t decide who to send. In the end the board took no action.

owntown Placerville has been illuminated pink for the month of October for a special cause. Images of Hope, a local nonprofit that serves El Dorado County by supporting those impacted by cancer, has illuminated downtown Placerville’s historical Main Street businesses with pink strands of lights during Breast Cancer Awareness Month — signifying the community’s united fight against the disease. This year, the ninth annual Pink in the Night campaign, as it is known, added a theme of “All Colors, All Cancers” in an effort to bring attention not only to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but all cancers and the importance of early screenings and detection as a way to combat the illness. As a result, a new addition from Images of Hope this year is an art installation at the Bell Tower in downtown Placerville designed and fabricated by Andrew Vonderschmitt — a 12-foot-tall ribbon of all colors; pink portions light up at night. ”We really wanted to highlight the importance of early screenings for all cancers and not just breast cancer this year, which is why we adopted the theme of all colors,” explained Wendy Goossen, founder of Images of Hope.
Images of Hope Images of Hope’s purpose is to provide a setting where the stress and confusion of a cancer diagnosis can be put on pause. The organization, operating under the umbrella of the Marshall Foundation for Community Health, provides healing arts classes including yoga, pilates, knitting, meditation, music and pet therapy along with other support services. Funding for Images of Hope’s programs relies on donations coming from fundraising events and the philanthropic community. Images of Hope welcomes newly diagnosed or long out of treatment cancer patients, as well as family members and caregivers affected by the disease. To donate and learn more about Images of Hope visit imagesofhopeeldorado.com or call (530) 208-9994.

prospecting buttered and salty A ‘West Wing’ special to benefit When We All Vote HH 1/2 TV-14, 1 hour, 14 minutes – Drama Now playing on HBO MAX
Joshua B. Porter Democrat correspondent
I
love “The West Wing.” Love it. I have watched the entirety of that show more than any other television program, save for “Seinfeld” and perhaps “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Its exceptional writing, memorable characters, classy production design and timely narrative made it both enticing and provoking for a guy like me that had an equal measure of love for entertainment and politics. Sure, it was a romantic view of the inner-workings at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and in the end things usually worked out for the president and his administration (those were the days, weren’t they?) but it was an inspiring leap into optimistic escapism for an hour every week. In the 14 years since the show has been off the air creator Aaron Sorkin has gone on to win Academy Awards (“The Social Network”) and begun his feature film directing career (2017’s “Molly’s Game” as well as “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which recently premiered on Netflix), while the cast has all gone on to varying degrees of success, the most notable being actress Allison Janney (White House Communications Director C.J. Cregg), who has won Oscars, Emmys and been nominated for Tonys — an impressive list. You can probably ascertain at this point how excited I would be for any form of reunion or revival of this stellar show and cast, so when HBO Max announced a remake of one of the shows more memorable episodes — “Hartsfield’s Landing” — I was all in. The season 3, episode 14 story finds
President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) playing cheese with members of his staff literally and with saber-rattling Chinese figuratively as Josh (Bradley Whitford) tries to account for all 42 votes cast in a portentous New Hampshire presidential primary. “Hartsfield’s Landing” is a really good episode of television. Many put it on top 20 lists when discussing the show’s best, but I never found it to be a great episode. I suppose my initial hesitation here is that, while a well done reunion for a good cause it misses the mark with a couple of overlooked possibilities for this benefit show. The actors themselves are in top form. From Martin Sheen to Rob Lowe to Allison Janney to Richard Schiff and Dulé Hill, this ensemble cast hasn’t missed a beat in the last decade and a half. The characterization, energy and chemistry is completely intact, which is a tall order when an actor returns to a role after such a long layover. It’s a joy to watch them. The direction of this staged reading and the simple, yet clever design of the sets, staged at the Orpheum Theater in downtown L.A. (which I was last at in 2016 for a 30th anniversary screening of “Aliens” with my then five-months pregnant wife) is extremely well done. Your mind instantly goes to the hallowed halls of the West Wing, even if in reality all you see is an empty theater or ropes and cables in the background. My issue is the decision to not do what the show has always done and take full advantage of current events. Whether that would be an entirely new script about an upcoming election, Supreme Court nomination or peaceful transfer of power after votes are cast (all timely), I feel like there was a perfect opening for the show’s one-episode return here. Why they chose to do a glorified staged reading of a show we can all watch on Netflix is beyond me. My second issue comes from the entire reason for
this reunion episode’s existence; When We All Vote, whenweallvote. org, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is on a mission to increase participation in every election and close the race and age voting gap by changing the culture around voting. A great cause, regardless of where you fit on the political spectrum, but it’s no mystery where the show’s (and a majority of the actors on it) politics lean and the constant special guest appearances (stacked by mostly one party) reminding everyone to vote and how this is the most important election in this country’s history gets a bit tiresome. Look, reading past columns it wouldn’t take a political scientist to know where I lean, but even I could have predicted that these “commercial breaks” would be just the sort of pretentious nonsense those who don’t agree with the show or creators’ politics would scoff at. Still, the story is good (even if we’ve seen it before) and it’s a real treat to see these actors in some of their most famous roles. We could certainly use some “West Wing” political optimism right about now.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — Live music returns this weekend to Crystal Bay Casino for the first time since March. “Loud as Folk” featuring Sam Chase and several other musicians will perform twice Saturday, Oct. 24. The show will be an intimate, seated and a special live-music experience for those who have been missing in-person events. Musicians performing include Spike McGuire, Greg Gilmore, Dave Berry and Cliff Porter from Jelly Bread and Chase. The early show will be at 7 p.m. and the late show starts at 10:30 p.m. This double show will be the Crystal Bay Club’s first show in 231 days — since the pandemic hit Lake Tahoe. On March 17 Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered the closure of non-essential businesses, which completely halted the entertainment and live music industry. The pandemic uprooted many performers who had to cancel shows because public gatherings across the country were prohibited. For months shows were canceled or indefinitely postponed. Many artists took to performing virtual shows and some spent time focusing on new music. On Sept. 29 Sisolak began to allow gatherings of up to 250 capacity for 50% of venue capacity. While the Crystal Bay Club could potentially have more seating open — the Crown Room’s capacity is 550 — management erred on the side of safety by capping capacity at 130 attendees for each performance. To attend the event, grab a buddy or date because tickets are sold in bundles of two or four with staggered entry. The entire party must enter the venue with the ticket holder. Temperatures will also be taken upon entry and seating will be distanced. During the performance, social distancing will be encouraged. The last performance at the Crystal Bay Club’s Crown Room was Mustache Harbor’s show in March. McGuire is the founder of this Saturday’s showcase of songwriters dedicated to American roots music, Loud as Folk. McGuire said this will be Loud as Folk’s first official appearance at the Crystal Bay Club. “I am so thrilled,” McGuire said. Like several other artists, the pandemic created difficult obstacles for musicians. “It was rough at first,” he said, adding that while he really missed live performances, the last year has opened more opportunities for which he otherwise wouldn’t have had time. McGuire recently recorded a new album and will perform singles from that effort at Saturday’s shows. “Limitations make it easier to get creative,” he said. Gilmore and McGuire had a studio and decided to get innovative during the shutdown by creating the Loud As Folk Record Club, where they showcase new artists every month and include Loud As Folk’s Early Recordings. One of the singer and songwriters part of the recordings is Chase, who has performed at High Sierra, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festivals, Outside Lands and will headline the show this weekend. “I think we will fill up all the space that we can safely fill up,” McGuire said. The show is for attendees 21 and older and tickets are $15. For more information visit devildogshows. com/crystal-bay-club-casino-events/.

Luke Stevenson will perform to help end polio at charity event hosted by Incline Rotary.
Online concert to end polio hosted by Incline Rotary Tahoe Daily Tribune INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline will feature folk rock musician Luke Stevenson in a live-streamed concert to help eradicate polio. The concert is from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, on the Rotary Club’s Facebook page. This event is being organized in recognition of World Polio Day on Oct. 24. The goal of this annual event is to raise awareness, funds and support to end polio — a vaccinepreventable disease that still threatens children in parts of the world today. When Rotary International and its
partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries every year. Today, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9% and just two countries continue to report cases of wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rotary has committed to raising $50 million each year to support global polio eradication efforts. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation matches that 2-to-1, for a total yearly contribution of $150 million. To donate or participate visit facebook.com/lukestevensonsings or donate directly via the Rotary website at endpolio.org/donate.

Red Ribbon Week puts the focus on nicotine use News release In 2020 Red Ribbon Week, the nation’s largest and longest running drug-use prevention campaign, turns 35. Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31, has informed millions of kids and parents about the danger of drugs and alcohol, influencing positive choices and behaviors. However, one “drug” that may not receive as much attention lately is nicotine, which is highly addictive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released its 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which measures a variety of risky behaviors, including tobacco use. The survey found that in California more than 42% of high school students reported having tried e-cigarettes and more than 18% reported using currently. More than 7% reported currently using smokeless tobacco. The common thread among these products is flavored nicotine, which the tobacco industry uses to spark curiosity and mask the harsh taste of tobacco. If sweet fruity flavors seem harmless, the high dose of nicotine teens get when they use isn’t. Rural communities have long been targeted by the

Clever packaging and sweet flavors are enticing more young people to try tobacco products. tobacco industry. For decades the tobacco industry has taken advantage of often weaker tobacco retail laws in rural areas and push misleading advertising, marketing and promotions that tie tobacco use to values such as strength, independence and resilience, while using images of cowboys, hunters and race cars to make smoking seem like it’s a part of life. In recent years, the industry has added new
products like e-cigarettes, but the intent is the same. The El Dorado Union High School District was part of the California Healthy Kids Survey that also measures risk-related behaviors. The 2018-19 survey found that 28% of 11th graders reported using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days but only 4% report using traditional cigarettes. The 2019 High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey also found that
California high school students overall are using smokeless tobacco more than students nationally. Part of the problem may also be perception of nicotine. “Make no mistake, nicotine is the tobacco industry’s tool to hook our kids to deadly products — that hasn’t changed. What’s changed is how they’re packaging this drug. The tobacco industry continues to target our
communities and portray tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, as being less harmful but that’s far from the truth, especially for youth,” said Shelly Brantley, project director of Rural Initiatives Strengthening Equity, a program dedicated to combatting tobacco’s harms in California’s rural communities. “Aside from the health problems these products present, they often contain high amounts of nicotine, which is a harmful drug that is basically brain poison for youth and the tobacco industry now has it wrapped up in sweet, fruity flavors in a variety of forms to entice kids to try them, and far too often, get addicted,” said Brantley. “Not only is nicotine a highly addictive drug for youth, but nicotine exposure can actually change the chemistry in teens’ brains and can impact learning, memory and attention. “The tobacco industry views our kids as their next generation of customers and nicotine is their tool to hook them,” continued Brantley. “We need to talk with our kids about what nicotine really is — it’s a harmful, addictive drug.

Within a short while, a plump, amiable looking lady, whom I had seen at the trailhead, was heading toward me with her dog. “Hi, are you heading up to Grouse Lake?” I asked. “I’m on my way up to the lakes to camp. I managed to get the last available spot for the weekend,” she replied. We walked slowly up the trail together and discoursed on camping in Desolation Wilderness. “I’m Anouk,” the lady declared. “Sounds Inuit,” I replied quizzically. Yes, but in my case, it’s French. I’m French-Canadian, from Quebec. I’m named after a French Actress, Anouk Aimée. This is my dog Pepper — she gestured to a small German Shepherd mix, predominantly black with a smattering of white hairs sprinkled throughout its coat. I continued up the trail with Anouk and Pepper a few steps ahead of me. Anouk paused at one of the switchbacks to take a breather. Pepper turned to face me and looked at me warily with somber, jaspercolored eyes. “Is your dog friendly?” I asked. “She’s afraid, always afraid,” replied Anouk. “She doesn’t bite does she?” I asked apprehensively. “No, but she was a rescue pup and was poorly treated. She just doesn’t like sticks or hands,” she declared matter-of-factly. This latter piece of information did not fill me with great assurance, as, at that very moment I was the possessor of both accoutrements — sticks (or to be more specific, hiking poles) and hands with which to hold them. Anouk pulled Pepper toward herself, stroking the dog’s sides and speaking to her in consolatory tones. From the pack strapped to the dogs back, she extricated a green fluorescent collapsible bowl and filled it with water. As the dog lapped at the water, I gave a parting greeting. Ensuring that both my hands and my poles were suitably out of reach of Pepper, I headed on up to the top of the ridge. On clearing the trees at the top of the ridge, I entered
a granite basin illuminated by the bright midday sun. Before me was a marshy area in which sedges grew and a creek ran. Just beyond were the clear waters of Grouse Lake, which reflected the ridge on its far side. Brewer’s mountain heather, rhododendrons and mountain hemlock carpeted the ground along the shore. I set up my easel on the western bank. A pair of California red firs framed the view of the lake and the eastern ridge with its round dumpy peak at its southerly end. A group of 10 senior ladies and one man arrived at the lake’s edge. The man, who appeared to have the role of trail guide, seemingly felt obliged to educate the ladies on geological attributes of Grouse Lake. “This is a circ,” he pronounced with authority. “The word circ comes from the Latin word circus,” he continued with an erudite air, “from which we get the word — circle.” The man’s words tapered off. The gaggle of disinterested ladies unimpressed by this revelation of geological and linguistic brilliance returned to their conversations. They were soon ready to move on to more sublime vistas along the trail. The afternoon passed quietly until a large man in a broad-brimmed cowboy hat appeared at the northern edge of the lake. He removed his blue-checked shirt and dipped it in the water, using it as a flannel to cool himself down. Looking around at the panorama, he boomed exuberantly, “Wow, this is awesome.” His blanched, oversize torso gleamed like a beacon across the lake in the afternoon sun. The light was changeable as the sun intermittently made its appearance through a thin shroud of forest fire smoke. The fickle light made for challenging painting conditions, as the shadows and highlights shifted from being distinctly in contrast in the full sun to less obviously so when the sky became overcast. Anouk and Pepper were settling into their camp a couple of hundred yards away. At a suitable point

in my painting, I wandered across to see if I could borrow a water filter to replenish my water supply. As I approached, Pepper growled discontentedly like the rumble of thunder in a gathering storm. “Don’t worry, she’s just being protective of my campsite,” Anouk assured me. Anouk fetched the water filter and placed it on a rock, so that I could stay at a suitable distance from her dog. After filling my water bottle, I returned to Anouk’s campsite and placed the water filter on a rock a few yards from Anouk and Pepper. At that very moment, Pepper, eyes glaring and muscles taut, exploded into a fit of rage and lurched at me, as if in some reenactment of a scene from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” Fortunately, Anouk had a good hold on Pepper. I quickly exited, followed by profuse apologies from Anouk. With the light fading and my painting completed, I returned down the trail toward Wrights Lake. A streaked and speckled blue grouse in unhurried fashion crossed the trail a few steps in front of me. A marmot called in high-pitched tones from its lookout on a large granite rock. The sky, a smoldering brown haze of suspended carbon shrouded the descending sun. Lit up by this ethereal light, the far distant Ice House Reservoir became as if a shard of milk glass illuminated by a fire’s flame. As I descended the trail, the night descended upon me. Crossing my path, a wrinkled, leathery toad lolloped along, heading out on its nighttime hunting excursion. Guided by my headlamp, I too lolloped onward, wending my way over granite and through forest, happy at last to arrive safely at the trailhead and the culmination of my day’s lacustral expedition.

MSTW presents ‘War of the Worlds’ radio show Julie Anchor Main Street Theatre Works
J
ACKSON — While 2020 has made us feel like the world might be coming to an end, the same thing could have been said more than 80 years ago when Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the Air staged a live radio broadcast of an alien invasion. Main Street Theatre Works is recreating this radio classic with its live production of “War of the Worlds,” 7 p.m. Oct. 24, broadcast on the theater’s Facebook page and a radio simulcast on KVGC Radio 1340AM, or 96.5 FM, in Amador County. This is the 10th anniversary of MSTW’s live radio shows, recreating many of Orson’s Mercury Theater classics and though the company members couldn’t perform in front of a live audience like normal, they are presenting a live, filmed version
of the show with multiple cameras so audiences don’t miss a thing, including those live sound effects from the expansive Foley table. This is MSTW’s Fall Fundraiser and the theater managers hope to reach a goal of $3,000 to carry them through the rest of the year and prepare them for next summer at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre. To make a donation, go to the MSTW Facebook page and click the PayPal link or donate on the website, mstw.org. This “War of the Worlds” presentation features some of your favorite MSTW actors, including Allen Pontes as Orson Welles, Scott Adams, Mike Sicilia, Vincent Keene, Ben Miller and Julie Anchor as Foley artist Ora Nichols. It’s a fun flashback to the days when people “watched” their radios and sound effects didn’t come from a computer. Whether you’re watching the

The law provides procedures for public agencies to acquire private property for public use. It requires every agency which intends to condemn property to notify the owners of its intention to condemn. California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) Section 1240.030 provides that the power of eminent domain may be exercised to acquire property for a proposed project if the following three conditions are established: (A) The public interest and necessity require the project. (B) The project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. (C) The property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project. Also, CCP Section 1245.230 requires that the offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made to the owner of record. That offer was previously presented to you on October 18, 2018. You are hereby notified that the County of El Dorado Board of Supervisors, at its meeting to be held on 11/17/2020 at 8:00 a.m., at 330 Fair Lane, Building A, Placerville, California, will be asked to decide if the above conditions have been met concerning your property and, if so, to adopt a Resolution of Necessity (“Resolution”). Questions regarding the amount of compensation to be paid or the value of the property to be acquired are not part of this proceeding and the Board of Supervisors will not consider such in determining whether a Resolution should be adopted. The Board of Supervisors’ adoption of the Resolution authorizes the County of El Dorado (the “County”) to acquire the property by eminent domain. Within six months of the adoption of the Resolution, the County will prepare and file a complaint in Superior Court commencing the eminent domain proceeding. All issues related to the compensation to be awarded for the acquisition of your property will be resolved in this court proceeding. A description of the required property is attached to this notice. The law provides you an opportunity to appear before the Board of Supervisors and raise questions concerning the three conditions referred to in CCP 1240.030 as cited above. You are entitled to appear and object to the adoption of the Resolution. If you intend to appear, please provide a written request to appear before the Board no later than 15 days from the mailing of this notice and include a statement indicating which of the three conditions listed in the first paragraph above you contend have not been met. By designating which of the conditions form the basis of your challenge and explaining why you believe they have not been met, you will enable the County Board of Supervisors to conduct a full and expeditious review of the project’s effect on your property. If you request an appearance and review, you will be notified of the time and date for participation in that review. Staff will conduct the review on behalf of the Board of Supervisors and ask for your participation. Based on this review, the County will then prepare a report to be presented to the Board of Supervisors at the meeting which you intend to appear. The request to appear should be sent to: Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, County of El Dorado, 330 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667. Your written request to appear must be on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors within the 15-day period set forth above. Failure to timely file a written request to appear will result in a waiver of your right to appear and be heard by the Board of Supervisors. For your convenience, if you are unable to personally appear or choose to submit written objections in place of a personal appearance, the Board of Supervisors will consider any written objections so long as they are received by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors prior to the meeting date. All written objections filed with the Board of Supervisors will become part of the official record of the meeting at which the Board of Supervisors hears the Resolution. If you have any questions, please call me at (530) 621-5313. 10/23 8316
