EID board rejects boundary change Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors at last week’s meeting voted against a LAFCO proposal to alter its service boundary. José C. Henríquez, executive officer for the El Dorado Local Agency Formation Commission, noted that periodically the agency is required to prepare a municipal service review in conjunction with an update of an agency’s sphere of influence. The review provides data on how well EID is operating and where EID’s sphere of influence boundaries will probably be in 10 to 20 years. LAFCO’s last review of EID was in 2008. Since no one south of El Dorado Hills is currently receiving EID water, one of the proposed modifications was to remove the area south of Latrobe from EID’s sphere of influence. Once removed it could be added back in through a request to LAFCO. Another option would have reduced EID’s sphere of influence to only include specific areas that match El Dorado County’s community regions and rural regions, as defined by n

Black belt masters his craft Thomas Frey Staff writer

ames Carswell was driving through Modesto about 15 years ago when he came across the taekwondo studio where he took his first lesson. The name of the studio had changed, piquing his curiosity so he went in to check it out. He walked in and a teenager came right up and said, “Hi Mr. Carswell, it’s great to see you.” Carswell had also earned his first black belt there before entering high school and beginning at age 14 was teaching some of the taekwondo classes. He didn’t recognize the teen at first but quickly learned it was one of his past students. “As soon as I walked through that door he knew who I was and that really hit me,” Carswell said. “I was a positive influence on him, he looked up to me.

Tahoe Daily Tribune As temperatures cool and people pull out their winter jackets, restaurants around the Lake Tahoe Basin are preparing for winter. With uncertainty about what the state of COVID-19 will be in the winter, restaurants are preparing to continue outdoor dining even after the snow begins to fall. On the South Shore, the South Lake Tahoe Restaurant Association has been holding regular meetings to share ideas on how to get ready. According to the Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, members of the city council, planning division and the fire department have been attending the meetings to give support to restaurants. “It’s great to see everyone working Courtesy photo collaboratively,” said Annie Handrick, The owners of Cold Water Brewery and Grill in South Lake Tahoe have been planning communications and marketing for winter for several weeks.

A pre-recorded ceremony will replace the traditional public gathering on Veterans Day at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville, the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance has announced. “We were looking forward to returning to holding a public ceremony but in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to be concerned about the health of the many seniors who attend these ceremonies, so we decided to hold a virtual ceremony similar to the one we conducted this past Memorial Day,” said President Gary Campbell, EDCVA president. The Memorial Day event was seen by over 17,000 viewers on Sierra Community Access Television (Cable Channel 2) and on county veterans Facebook pages. Again, this Veterans Day, a pre-recorded ceremony will be broadcast over

earned her training instructor certification to teach the Tiny Tigers class for kids between the ages of 4-6 years old. The Tiny Tigers is where Carswell sets a foundation of taekwondo by teaching young students teamwork, focus, balance and memory. “He has a way of making it really fun but he still has an authority that not a lot of teachers have,” said Susie Hayne whose 6-year-old son Parker was just promoted out of the Tiny Tigers. “Master Carswell really knows how to teach kids at their level. It’s not a one-size-ﬁts-all. He sees what they are and what they are good at and he helps them individually. My son really looks up to him.” Hayne said her son was hyper before joining taekwondo, but now he has learned how to relax and focus. “I feel taekwondo helps everybody,” Carswell said. “Part of my job as an instructor is to help build a strong, independent individual.” He said all his students are looking for some sort of self-improvement. It could be to stand up to bullies, build up self-esteem, lose weight or learn self-defense.

Moving up the ladder Three years after taking over the Cameron Park studio Carswell moved up to fourth-degree black belt. He is also a member of the United World Taekwondo Association where he is assistant national director of tournaments. In 2018 Carswell moved up to fifth-degree black belt. He immediately came up with a plan to get his mastership when he would be eligible in 2020. “They look at your history,” Carswell said. “What have you done? What have you given back? What have you achieved? Are you worthy of the title of master?” Carswell not only had years of teaching students of all ages under his belt, he had traveled to South America to help build taekwondo academies and was also a national champion. “To me it’s a big achievement because not a lot of people achieve it,” Carswell said. “Not a lot of people put in the effort and the work to get to this level. I’ve put a lot of work in teaching and a lot of work on educating myself.”

outdoor dining,” said Kylee Bigelow, executive director of the Tahoe City Downtown Association. Even with support of local agencies and communities, restaurant owners are nervous about the unknowns to come. “We’re all going into the abyss,” said Debbie Brown, owner of Coldwater Brewery and Grill in South Lake Tahoe.

Cold Water Brewery and Grill

Brown was fortunate enough to have a large parking lot to use for outdoor dining and has recently broken down her summer set-up in exchange for her winter set-up. “I tried to be ahead of what’s coming down the pipe,” Brown said. Brown now has 10 firepits and nine heaters and she has also set up wood fencing with large, wood rounds on each side, to protect guests from vehicles possibly sliding in the icy parking lot. Brown designed the setup herself and was able to maintain a comfortable atmosphere inside and out. Even though Brown is “trepidatious,” going into the winter, she’s taking this opportunity for Cold Water to celebrate the change in weather. Cold Water currently is operating at 50% capacity inside but she said customers still prefer to be outside when possible. But once winter hits, Brown said she feels like she will be essentially running two operations between the indoor and outdoor seating. “It’s a whole different regiment, servers are going to have to dress in outdoor gear, and they are going to have to be shoveling snow,” Brown said, also adding that the propane will have to be taken care of as well. Working with the fire department and the city, Brown said she was told

Continued from 1 she could either have tented in dining or heating but not both. “It doesn’t snow every day but it’s cold every day,” Brown said, explaining why she went with the fire pits and heaters. Although Cold Water is in a location that allows for the expanded outdoor dining, Brown feels for the restaurants that don’t have that luxury and says business is likely to change drastically over the next six weeks for everyone. “I wish us all luck that we make it to the other side,” Brown said.

Defensible Space

Lake Tahoe AleworX

AleWorX owner and founder Luca Genasci is also worried about what the winter will bring. His location at “Y” has a fairly expansive patio setup with heaters and fire pits. “We’re going to continue utilizing that to the best of our abilities but sometimes Mother Nature has different ideas,” Genasci said. Like Morgan, Genasci said on really snowy days, business is already slow, so he doesn’t expect to see much of a difference there. “But on nice, sunny, post-storm days, you can expect the patio to be operating on all cylinders,” Genasci said. With mountain capacity being limited at Heavenly, Genasci thinks businesses all around town will see a boost from people who came up not realizing they couldn’t get on the mountain. He will especially like to see that increase at his Stateline location, which he said always sees a boost when skiing at Heavenly is limited by storms and wind holds. The downside is that they are still limited to 50% capacity and one of his major concerns going into the winter is a rollback on restrictions. Still, Genasci is hopeful things will continue to reopen.

Legislative report

The board also received its annual legislative report for 2020 by Bob Reeb who acts as EID’s state Legislature advocate. Reeb noted the “significant” impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the normal course of business in the state capitol with access severely limited due to legislative offices being closed for most of the legislative session. The financial impact has also been considerable. Initially Gov. Gavin Newsom expected a $6 billion revenue surplus for 2020-21 but his revised budget now reflects an estimated budget deficit of $54.3 billion by June 30, 2021. And despite tax revenue for 2019-20 coming in $1 billion more than projected, Reeb said the Department of Finance now projects the state is facing an $8.7 billion deficit by June 2021. Because of the COVID-19 related shutdown of the economy, Reeb said the surplus the state had built up has largely been spent and the additional federal funding the state hoped to receive related to the coronavirus has yet to arrive, triggering an additional $11 million in cuts that went into effect this month. That resulted in a

two-day furlough for state employees. And while revenue projections are going up so are expenses for things such as unemployment insurance and social services. The state also suffered five of the six largest fires ever recorded in California this year with over 8,300 wildfires since the beginning of the year burning over 4 million acres in the state. Because of the funds that are being poured into suppressing wildfires, the state is having to move money around to support the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. Newsom also signed Executive Order N-82-20 setting a first-in-thenation goal of conserving 30% of the state’s land and coastal waters by 2030. The order directs the California Natural Resources Agency to identify and implement near-and-long-term actions to accelerate the natural removal of carbon and build “climate resilience” in the state’s natural areas. Previously the legislature directed the State Water Board to establish water loss standards for all public water systems in California to reduce unaccounted for water loss due to such things as leaking pipes or malfunctioning water meters. A first try at developing a model did not work and the water board then developed a different one. Reeb said the fear is that if it is put into effect it will not only cost water districts money trying to reduce water loss but become a priority over other goals previously set out in urban water legislation. Reeb said the state is also monitoring voluntary agreements on water quality and fish habitat as those may be changed, affecting how much water can be retained from snowmelt and used by water agencies. As a final note, Reeb said he believes Democrats will retain 2/3 control of both houses of the Legislature, which will impact future legislation. The next legislative session begins Dec. 7.

the General Plan. Presented with three different options, the majority of the board voted to recommend to LAFCO that EID keep the present boundaries with board Chair George Osborne asking, “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Adding that it’s not costing the district anything to keep the current sphere of influence. With that, the board voted 3 to 2 to stay with the present boundaries with Directors Osborne, Pat Dwyer and Lori Anzini voting yes and Directors Mike Raffety and Alan Day voting no. EID General Counsel Brian Poulsen reminded the board that ultimately the final decision will be up to LAFCO and the board’s vote was just a recommendation.

2020 legislative recap — the good, the bad and the ugly

ne of the most bizarre legislative sessions in state history came to an end as the governor’s deadline to sign or veto bills passed Sept. 30. In total, the truncated legislative year saw 428 bills land on Gov. Newsom’s desk and he KEVIN KILEY signed 372 of them into law. Here is a list of the good, bad and ugly legislative outcomes in 2020:

The good

AB 1577 — small business relief In April I proposed legislation to exempt federal PPP loans from state income taxes, a commonsense relief measure to help small businesses navigate the hardships of COVID-19 restrictions. Gov. Newsom signed a bill putting that proposal into law. AB 331 — veto of the ethnic studies requirement Sometimes a good outcome is not what gets signed by the governor, but what does not get signed. One such bill was AB 331, which would have mandated a much-maligned “ethnic studies” curriculum as a high school graduation requirement, despite the curriculum’s inclusion of political propaganda and anti-Semitic sentiments. Thankfully the governor did the right thing and vetoed this legislation. SB 1351 — veto of a 40-year tax This bill attempted to allow the state to borrow up to $5 billion against future vehicle registration tax revenues enacted as part of the infamous Gas Tax in 2017. It also would have prohibited the Legislature from repealing, reducing or modifying this tax for up to 40 years. The good news is, this taxpayer’s nightmare was vetoed by Gov. Newsom.

The bad

AB 2231 — another hit to housing affordability This legislation expands prevailing wage requirements on private development, which in turn will raise housing costs in a state that is already one of the least affordable in the country. In total, it adds as much as $84,000 to the cost of building a house. SB 145 — reducing penalties for sex offenders This bill makes it possible for a 24-year-old convicted of sex crimes against a 14-year-old minor to avoid registering as a sex offender. Despite being met with bipartisan condemnation in the Legislature, it ultimately passed with the minimum 41 votes required and was signed by the governor. SB 1383 — more burdens on small businesses In a year when times cannot get much harder for small businesses, the Legislature found a way to add yet another burden on them. This bill purports to offer 12 weeks paid leave for employees in California, but the real goal is to create another cottage industry for crippling litigation. When this bill came up for debate on the Assembly Floor, I read the stories of countless small business owners in our community who may have to permanently close their doors as a result of this harmful, new law. ■

Which ones would you eliminate? • Which of the nine dams EID controls would you not maintain for the health and safety of our community? • Which of the ﬁve water treatment plants, which ensure safe, healthy, reliable water, would you not maintain? • Which of the 2,200 miles of pipe would you not replace, knowing that some are 50-60 years old and leaking? • Which of the sewer treatment plants, which must meet state and federal standards while minimizing risk of sewage overflows, would you not maintain? • Which of the 22 miles of ﬂumes, which supply one-third of our water, would you not repair knowing the flume system is over 100 years old? • Which of the 64 pressure stations and lift stations are you not going to maintain to keep consistent water pressure and proper sewage drainage? • By the way, developer fees, not ratepayers, pay for all costs of expanding EID systems to accommodate growth. Cutting maintenance would jeopardize EID’s primary responsibility to provide safe, reliable water, recycle water and wastewater services. Reasonable rate increases keep pace with construction and maintenance costs, which consistently have risen faster than the Consumer Price Index. BILL GEORGE Placerville

Timber EDITOR: n 1970 climate scientists said we were entering a new ice age; temperatures would plummet and agriculture would diminish. That didn’t happen. To the contrary. a warming trend began. Science then turned on a dime and global warming was proclaimed. Later that was replaced with climate change. In the 50 years since then, the worldwide high temperature average has increased by only four-tenths of one degree. 1970 also saw the advancement of the aggressive environmentalist. Today dozens of well-intentioned but grossly ill-informed organizations exist.

Lawsuits to curtain or shut down forest logging are sporting ventures for eager lawyers. You’ve probably heard of the Sierra Club and Greenpeace. But how about EPIC, the John Muir Project, Earthjustice, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, Wilderness League or Natural Resources Defense Council? Those and other organizations like them are a most formidable force, especially at the leftleaning 9th District Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Docket items are often delayed there for years specifically benefiting environmentalists. Long ago a lawsuit was filed to protect the habitat of the California spotted owl and disallow timber harvesting. That argument lingers today. Years of legal shenanigans has led to the ruination of the lumber industry and proper forest management. Little wonder the skies are often darkened by humongous, uncontrollable wildfires. Responsibility for the life-altering situation we face today falls squarely at the feet of governors and Congress members who presided over California for the last 50 years. Their lack of attention is nothing short of criminal neglect. Where possible, they should be held accountable. In the past lumber companies under state and federal oversight were allowed to harvest some of the 50 million acres of overgrown timberland in California. Brush was cleared and dead or dying trees were removed. Tote roads were cut to extract the lumber, which also provided easier ingress for Cal Fire vehicles. Lumber companies paid fees for the privilege of tree harvesting. Revenue gathered went to additional forest programs. Now that’s all gone and the lumber industry has moved on. Since 1984, 77 California lumber mills have closed, including nearby Camino. Only a few mills on private land are in operation today. The governor is lying. Wildfires can only get worse and global warming is not the answer. What you’re not being told is that a well-managed forest allows for no more than 60 trees per acre. California has up to 1,000 in many cases along with a forest floor littered with blow down and brush debris creating more fuel to feed wildfires. Far too much time has been spent arguing about our national resources and less time taking measures to protect and preserve them. California is broke. It’s time for the federal government to step in. Measures to curb wildfires must be immediately put into action along with aggressive programs for deforestation and future forest management before both human-beings and the spotted owl are toast.

Electing a felon as president of the United States

The video of Joe not running for Biden bragging about president of the getting a Ukrainian United States but I must prosecutor fired has admit it would be fun to been seen by millions. It fly a Boeing 747, forget happened at a Council about sitting in the on Foreign Relations back. meeting on Jan. 23, But Joe Biden is 2018. It’s devastating running for the job when Biden, during his and there is building vice-presidency, says he LARRY WEITZMAN talked to the Ukrainian credible information head of state and told that he may have committed some big time felonies in him that he (Biden) is in charge with light of a recent New York Post story, respect to aid to the Ukraine. a previous video of Biden bragging Here is an excerpt of Biden’s exact how he got rid of a Ukrainian language: “I said, I’m telling you, prosecutor in six hours by threatening you’re not getting the billion dollars. I to withhold a billion dollars in aid, said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m Hunter Biden’s attorney’s recent going to be leaving here in, I think it attempt to retrieve a computer/hard was about six hours. I looked at them drive as a result of the NY Post story and said, I’m leaving in six hours. If and now confirming statements, the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.

of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop — emails talking about Hunter Biden arranging a meeting for some Burisma executives with his dad, then vice president of the United States. Hunter Biden was on the board of directors of Burisma, “earning” $83,000 a month. An email from Hunter Biden’s laptop has a thank you from the high level Burisma executive for arranging the meeting after it took place. Joe Biden has been a “public servant” all his life. He doesn’t come from money, his salaries aren’t that big and most of his life he has earned about $125,000 a year on average. He started in Congress at $42,500 a year. But Joe Biden has lived and currently lives like a very wealthy guy. One email reveals that Joe was in on Hunter’s questionable deals. An email from one of Hunter’s American partners was sent to Hunter and two others, detailing large cash payments to the partners as well as equity stakes. Hunter, referred to as “H,” was

to get 20%; the deal listed “10 Jim” (Jim is Joe’s brother Jim Biden), who got 10% and “10” held by H for the big guy. It has been confirmed the “big guy” is then Vice President Joe Biden. Bobulinski has given his copies of those emails and his electronic devices to the FBI and made them public. Bobulinski’s news conference where this was revealed publicly was only carried by Fox News. No other “news source” would broadcast it. Mainstream media would never carry something telling the country Joe Biden is corrupt. It seems that Joe Biden uses his family to funnel money to him tax free, 50% of the family member’s take for deals they get into because of his position. Joe is getting rich, tax free, just like a mafia Don. Joe Biden denies everything. People around him claim this was set up by the Russians. As before, the Russians had nothing to do with this computer

The Ugly AB 2257 — more exemptions for independent workers In 2019 the governor signed AB 5, a devastating law that banned most forms of independent contracting in California. In an attempt to “fix” this horrific piece of legislation that has cost hundreds of thousands of independent workers their livelihoods, the Legislature passed AB 2257. While the bill adds some new exemptions, it fails to deliver true relief for hundreds of professions in California. I will continue to fight for a full repeal of AB 5 in the upcoming legislative session.

SB 98/820 — restricting educational options for families The Legislature continued its assault on educational choice this year by restricting the number of students charter public schools can enroll and refusing to fund public homeschool programs filling a critical need for families in the middle of a pandemic. To make matters worse, our state’s top education leaders want traditional public schools to remain closed for all the wrong reasons.

and it wasn’t planted. After all, why would Hunter Biden’s attorney then try to retrieve the “Russian planted” computer? The computer was dropped off at an independent computer repair ship by Hunter. Hunter never went to get it back and it became the property of the shop owner, who made several copies of the hard drive. The FBI has the hard drive and is investigating. Hunter Biden’s attorney attempted retrieval of the laptop verifies it was real, but he was a little late. What a dummy. But Hunter wasn’t much of

a student, graduating (probably a result of a fix by his dad) at or near the bottom of his class. He was bounced out of the Navy administratively in 2014 (one step above a dishonorable for drugs and other stuff ) shortly after receiving his commission in 2012 (his dad had a lot to do with that, too). That’s what the Joe Biden lame-stream media doesn’t want you to know. After Donald Trump’s re-election maybe I’ll get a pardon, but if Biden wins maybe I can just buy it through Hunter.

Tasting rooms plan for COVID-19 winter Lee Hodo Contributor Heaters, roll-up doors and outdoor shelters will save the day and the view at El Dorado County tasting rooms during the impending COVID-19 winter. Although El Dorado County is at the California COVID-19 color level orange, allowing for indoor tasting, many El Dorado American Viticultural Area winery tasting rooms are too small to accommodate a sufficient number of socially distanced customers. To make more room for the customers they need and to take advantage of their signature mountain views, wineries are reconfiguring outdoor spaces, using cellars for both winemaking and tastings and building new structures to accommodate the new guidelines. Gwinllan Estate Winery located in the Fair Play district of the El Dorado AVA, is going all out and building an outdoor structure adjoining the tasting room in its aging caves. Perched on a bluff, the new structure will accommodate approximately 40 people at an appropriate distance and will provide a grand panoramic view. A large barn door at one end will keep out prevailing winds and other weather as needed. Edio Vineyards at Delfino Farms, one of the region’s newest wineries, finished construction of its winery building just prior to the COVID-19 lockdown. Luckily, the design already included a covered deck that

For cooler winter days propane heaters will keep everyone warm. provides an overlook to the vineyards. Set high above the vineyards like a tree house, the deck opens to the indoor tasting room at one end, extending the capacity for tasting from outside to inside. Val Barry, director of hospitality at Kehret Vineyards on Mount Aukum, laments that with social distancing, “We can only accommodate eight guests in our tasting room.” To make space for more, Kehret will heat its tank cellar for visitors. Weather permitting, Kehret also plans to open the tank room’s roll-up doors to expose its legendary view from its mountaintop perch. Lava Cap Vineyards has been accommodating a good number of guests on its expansive multilevel deck throughout the summer. Since the deck is not covered, Lava Cap will configure the tank cellar

to host guests in winter. Owner, Nolan Jones said that a roll-up door facing west will provide a view while propane heaters will keep guests comfortable. Jones added, “It will be warm and dry for our guests and definitely offer an up-close and personal perspective.” Heating tank rooms at this time of year does not damage wine as most of the new wines have been moved into barrel storage cellars for aging. El Dorado wine region, a Sierra Foothill AVA, is unique for its mountain vineyards from 1,100 to over 3,000 feet elevation. The AVA successfully farms more than 70 wine grape varietals. Visitors to El Dorado county can taste unique varietals at more than 60 wineries as well as take in the region’s wealth of local farm fresh products and outdoor recreation.

Wineries are welcoming visitors with a message to keep everyone safe.

the difficult decision to cancel this year’s festival,” said an event organizer. “The safety and well-being of our attendees, artists, partners, staff and the entire South Lake Tahoe community will always be our top priority. We are so grateful for the community that has supported us and made the last decade of shared experiences so memorable. Rest assured that when the world allows we’ll be back and ready to celebrate.” Thousands of electronic music fans flock to the play fields in South Lake Tahoe every year to take in the Dec. 29-31 event at Lake Tahoe Community College.

Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The SnowGlobe Musical Festival has been canceled due to safety concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic. SnowGlobe would have been celebrating its 10th anniversary this year but organizers made the decision to cancel after consulting with state and health officials, said a social media post. “2020 has been a year of challenges and we wanted more than anything to be a bright spot in this otherwise black year — but after close consultation with local and state health officials regarding the impact of COVID-19, we’ve made

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be like a magician today, “effortlessly” pulling off a spectacle. The real magician’s secret isn’t how the trick is done; it’s the fact that it takes over a hundred hours of practice to execute five dazzling minutes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If there’s one thing to reliably count on, it’s that people will invariably behave in ways you do not prefer. And yet, you still believe that you’ll find the gems, get along and be happy. You’re right about that, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your cosmic gift today is a good one — tenacity — through which so much is made possible. The caveat is that you must apply this ferocious drive only to your own projects. It’s too intense an energy to share. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve a playful, receptive energy for everyone you meet. Because of this, most people soften and open up around you. Spontaneous connections are a reflection of your warmth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are no perfect people. Good relationships are about accepting the imperfections of people and appreciating many ways that strengths and weaknesses fit together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You already know not to go to the grocery on an empty stomach. Likewise, distinguishing want vs. need over the next 10 days is trickier if you hunger and thirst for more life. Stay well-fed on all levels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a streak of exhibitionism going through the day. You have something important to contribute and the general public will be receptive to it, especially with your entertaining approach. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The soldier doesn’t rush forward to battle without a strategy. The teacher has a lesson plan. The doctor reads a chart. Everyone is doing their prework today, including you. It will take many hours and be worth it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Talk to your team. If you don’t have a team, then start to assemble one. An ingenious plan evolves. Also, when you respect the protocol of organizations, it respects you right back. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just when you think you’re alone, you realize that, in fact, you are being observed by someone who is assessing how well you might fit a particular role. It’s up to you to make this your business or not. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Small decisions do have a way of rippling out to great effect. One effort that’s worth making is in matters of love and friendship. Whatever you do to keep things fresh and exciting will go a long way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Seems like much of today’s schedule falls under two categories at once — “potentially boring” and “mandatory attendance.” Don’t let that get you down. A bit of mischief gets tossed in there to perk everyone up.

MEDICARE It’s time to review your Medicare coverage Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment season is underway and I want to encourage all people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plan premiums have fallen to historical lows, dropping an average of 34% over the last three years. Many plans are offering a new insulin benefit that limits the maximum cost to $35 for a 30-day supply. By shopping around, you may be able to save money and find a plan that better meets your needs. Open Enrollment runs through Dec. 7 each year. This is the time when you can change your Medicare health

SEEMA VERMA Administrator, U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or drug coverage for the following year. You can switch to Original Medicare or join or change a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan. Any new coverage you select takes effect Jan. 1, 2021. Our updated Medicare Plan Finder (Medicare. gov/plan-compare) can help you compare the prices and benefits of Medicare Advantage plans, Original Medicare, Medicare drug plans and Medigap policies. This mobile-friendly tool

works on smart phones, tablets and desktop computers. For beneficiaries who have created an account, we’ve personalized Plan Finder to generate a personal drug history so that prescription information will be autopopulated from personal Medicare claims history with accurate brand, dosage and frequency information. But anyone can browse options without creating an account. Many Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage are participating in a new insulin savings initiative. These plans now offer 30 days of insulin for $35 or less — an average savings of $446-per-year on outof-pocket costs.

Medicare Advantage. Here’s a brief summary: Original Medicare With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, anywhere in the U.S. In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist. For services covered under Medicare Part B, you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. You also pay a monthly premium for Part B. If you choose to join a Part D drug plan, you’ll pay an additional monthly premium. There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out-ofpocket, unless you have supplemental coverage, such as Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap. Medigap can help pay your remaining out-ofpocket costs (like your 20% coinsurance). Or you can use coverage from a former employer

or union, or Medicaid. Original Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices and other health care settings. It doesn’t cover some benefits, including vision and most dental care. In most cases, you don’t have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for Original Medicare to cover it. Medicare Advantage Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private insurers that provide your Medicare Part A and B benefits, in many cases through a managed network, similar to an HMO. In many cases, you’ll need to use doctors and other providers in the plan’s network and service area to get the lowest out-of-pocket costs. You may need to get a referral to see a specialist, even if the specialist is in your plan’s network. Out-of-pocket costs

for Medicare Advantage vary and plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs for certain services. You may have to pay a monthly plan premium in addition to your monthly Part B premium. Plans have a yearly limit on what you pay out-of-pocket for services covered under Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you reach your plan’s limit, you pay nothing for services covered by Part A and Part B for the rest of the year. Plans must cover all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. If you’d like free, personalized counseling on what Medicare options are right for you call the nonprofit State Health Insurance and Assistance Program or SHIP. To find the SHIP program in your state, go to shiptacenter.org or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce, El Dorado County Economic Development Department and various other entities formulated in March of this year to provide advocacy and strategies for the small business communities of El Dorado County. The workgroup has met weekly as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the communities with awareness that the small businesses of El Dorado County are the backbone of the business community, employing neighbors and led by individuals who call El Dorado County home. As part of the congressional CARES Act passed in April, funding was disbursed to El Dorado County to mitigate effects of the pandemic. With the leadership of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors, a portion of that funding was earmarked for small business support. Your local collision experts since 1986 The parameters of the funding were defined by the Small Business Retention Workgroup with the El Dorado Community Foundation acting as the coordinating body for applications and the agency to contact for questions. In August, the grant application process opened. More than 300 small business applied before the deadline date of Sept. 3. After review the workgroup awarded 290 small businesses with grants totaling more than $4.8 million.

T.S. NO. 20-61386 APN: 009-212-006-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 7/1/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: PAUL DE OCAMPO AND THERESA DE OCAMPO, HUSBAND AND WIFE Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust recorded 7/11/2005, as Instrument No. 2005-0055656-00, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, Date of Sale: 11/20/2020 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the main entrance of the County Courthouse 495 Main Street Placerville, CA Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $278,427.33 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 6838 RIDGEWAY DR POLLOCK PINES, California 95726-9503 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 009-212-006-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-61386. 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.
