Arts group to move as Old City Hall deemed unsafe Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer In early August a Placerville building inspector revoked occupancy of Old City Hall at 487 and 489 Main Street, leaving tenant Arts and Culture El Dorado without a location to do business. Options left for the Gold Rush-era buildings owned by the city are restoration, demolition or vacancy, according to city staff. Also known as the ketchup and mustard buildings, the one painted red at 487 Main St., began its life in 1860 as the Confidence Engine Company’s fire station. The mustardcolored building, at 489 Main, was built by Emigrant Jane in 1861 after she sold a herd of wild horses she brought from back East to Placerville.

Built in the 1860s, Placerville’s Old City Hall has been deemed unsafe for occupancy. Timber shoring and scaffolding have been in place since 2021 as the city tries to stabilize the structure.

Arts and Culture El Dorado has resided at Old City Hall since September 2018, when it entered into a shortterm lease with the city to utilize the ground floor space as offices and small exhibition space. City officials say they knew the roof of the n

were destroyed in the 2022 Mosquito Fire. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PG&E executives project a “probable” loss of $100 million in connection to the forest fire. Part of the utility’s Community Recovery Program, PG&E officials state their goal is to resolve claims within 75 days from the time a claim is submitted. The program was launched in May and has issued more than $37 million in payments to 2021 Dixie Fire claimants, according to a PG&E news release. Fire victims can submit claims using an online portal at DP4CR.

com. Across El Dorado and Placer counties, 78 homes were razed in the 76,788-acre Mosquito Fire that started in early September and was reported fully contained Oct. 22. A U.S. Forest Service investigation into the cause of the blaze is under way. PG&E spokesman James Noonan told the Mountain Democrat the state’s “application of inverse condemnation makes energy companies strictly liable for damages from wildfires caused by their equipment, even when all safety and operational requirements are followed.”

PG&E officials are asking those impacted by the blaze to submit a claim with supporting documents to receive payment “to fully settle and resolve” losses. Officials note payments will be based on “an objective framework that uses information about the impacted property, including square footage, acreage and any available insurance, to calculate an offer.” “Resolving claims in a timely, open and transparent process will be a critical part in helping restore the places that our customers and n

Auditor Harn facing lawsuit Noel Stack Managing editor The El Dorado Hills Community Services District is taking its public fight with county AuditorController Joe Harn to court. Last month the EDHCSD filed a lawsuit against AUDITOR-CONTROLLER Harn, who purposely JOE HARN left Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District fees charged by the CSD off property tax bills. At that time, the auditor said he took action after noticing discrepancies in the assessments between what CSD consultants submitted and what the EDHCSD Board of Directors approved. He then asked CSD officials for a letter “indicating that the CSD board was responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the assessments,” as it had done the prior year. No letter was received. “The CSD sued Harn in 2017 related to the CSD’s failure to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act,” states a news release from the AuditorController’s Office. “One of the outcomes of that litigation is that the CSD now is required to indemnify Harn and the county from any errors (in) the CSD’s … fees under the Mitigation Fee Act.” EDHCSD officials see it differently. In October the district posted a statement on its website claiming, “… the requirement of the county auditor (the indemnification letter) is not based in any law or fact. Rather it is about his office being bothered by questions from the public; a basis in conjecture of a slipshod civil grand jury report about LLADs, and; his concern for the district charging a lessor assessment than the maximum permitted by resolution of the district board of directors.” A letter sent directly to the auditor accuses Harn of “political pandering” and called him “a bully on the playground.” Fall 2022 property tax bills sent out excluded assessments for more than 20 EDHCSD LLADs, an approximately $1.4 million loss for the district. EDHCSD General Manager Kevin Loewen earlier said scheduled upkeep will continue as usual in those LLADs. Harn received a copy of the lawsuit this week, calling it “a colossal waste of money.” “I was served a 117-page document (the lawsuit) and I haven’t read the whole thing,” he shares in his news release. “I did notice a significant error right up front. The suit states that the CSD board voted unanimously to charge its residents these assessments; actually, Director Heidi Hannaman voted no. Interestingly, the CSD’s GM signed a verification under penalty of perjury indicating that he is responsible for the accuracy of the statements in the lawsuit and he believes the facts are correct.” The Mountain Democrat reached out to Loewen for additional comment regarding the n

Richard Crouch

Nov. 7, 1936 – Oct. 21, 2022

Richard Crouch passed away peacefully at home in Placerville with his wife and daughters by his side. Richard was born in Rock Island, Ill. in 1936. Since Richard’s father was in the Navy, he grew up in various places. Richard graduated from Compton High School in 1954, which is where he considered home and made lifelong friends. He received a bachelor of the arts degree from La Verne College in 1971. Richard enlisted in the US Air Force right after high school. Anyone who met Richard knew he was proud to have served his country. He specialized as a nuclear munitions officer and retired as a Major, after 32 years. He was stationed in Okinawa, Japan for more than a decade. During this time he also worked on the US Air Force base in Seoul, South Korea, which is where he met his wife, Hwa Cha. They were married in 1981 and enjoyed 41 years of marriage. Richard and Hwa Cha moved to Placerville with their first daughter in 1985. After his military career, Richard worked for Aerojet as a safety engineering specialist. Once retired, he dedicated his time to community service. He joined American Legion Post 119 in the early 1990s and continued to be an active member for decades, serving as Post Commander from 2012-2013. He was also actively involved with the Legion’s Boys State program, and he supported Congressman McClintock with recommending applicants to the US Air Force Academy. Richard is survived by his wife, Hwa Cha, his daughters Monica and Pamela, sons-in-law Julius and Kevin, and his three granddaughters, Autumn, Camila and Josephine. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to American Legion Post 119 in his honor.

Jan. 25, 1953 – Oct. 17, 2022

Peter “Pete” Groth, retired El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Sergeant who served the county and community for 30 years, was called home to be with the Lord peacefully on Monday, Oct. 17 at the age of 69. Pete is survived by his wife, Suzanne, with whom he deeply loved and adored. He is survived by his daughter, Elise (Arthur), and son, Jacob (Jwen), five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren, and his brothers, Claus (Lana) and Eric (Carmen), two nephews and one niece. Pete was born in Dover, N. J. He was preceded in death by his parents, Heinrich “Peter” and Christel Groth who had immigrated to the U.S. from Germany. At the age of 21, as a young tow truck driver studying police science at Santa Barbara City College, he received the Kiwanis Club of Santa Barbara Extra Step award, for bravery when he removed an unconscious man from a burning car on a busy freeway with little regard for his own safety. His clothes caught fire and he was driven back by the burning flames and intense heat but after several rescue attempts, he was able to save the man’s life. This is just one example of his character, selflessness and dedication to serve and protect others, which naturally led him to pursue a career in law enforcement. In 1982, Pete became a deputy sheriff with El Dorado County. He was one of the select few on the Sheriff ’s Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T), which was utilized in the resolution of extraordinary criminal events. Due to Pete’s strength, and size, he had the job of physically breaking down the barricaded front doors, which put him directly in the line of fire. Later in his career, he became a highly respected Narcotics Investigator. On Jan. 3, 2000, Sheriff Hal Barker nominated Pete for the Jay Reynolds Award for his leadership and effort in starting the Boys and Girls Club. As Sheriff Hal Barker stated in his nomination letter, “I don’t think there would be a Boys and Girls Club on the western slope yet if it hadn’t been for Deputy Groth’s leadership and effort.” In the end, Pete fought the good fight, finished the race and kept the faith. Always the protector, always the leader, we honor the strong, devoted and loving husband and father that he was. We will miss him dearly until we meet again. His memory will live on in our hearts. Pete’s family will be having a private celebration of his life.

coworkers call home,” states Joe Wilson, PG&E vice president of operations in the north valley and Sierra region. “This program is a proven method that helps individuals easily navigate the claims process and gets money into the hands of claimants as quickly as possible. We’re here for our hometowns, and in the coming days and weeks will be out in the community to offer help and information about how to submit claims.” The Community Recovery Program is currently open only to those whose homes were destroyed in the 2022 Mosquito Fire or the 2021 Dixie Fire. PG&E officials state they are addressing commercial claims or claims for partially damaged properties through the utility’s normal claims process, the civil court process or through the Fire Victim Trust, established after PG&E’s Chapter 11 proceeding. The Fire Victim Trust is an independent entity and is not administered or overseen by PG&E. As of Oct. 20, three complaints related to the Mosquito Fire on behalf of at least 34 plaintiffs have been filed, according to PG&E’s SEC filing. PG&E executives state they expect further complaints. “The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damage, economic loss, punitive damages, exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees and other damages,” notes the filing. Fire victims who have retained legal representation may still apply for the Community Recovery program, however PG&E officials specify that their attorney must submit the claim on their behalf.

Tribal Police sworn in as federal officers Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Officers of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Police Department were sworn in by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as deputy special officers on Wednesday, Oct. 26. The cross-deputization agreement, referred to as the Special Law Enforcement Commission, grants the Tribal Police the authority to enforce federal laws on tribal lands. BIA Special Agent in Charge Christopher Lorenz administered the oath. The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians is only the 22nd tribal police department in California to enter into one of these agreements. California has 110 federally recognized tribes.

Chairwoman Regina Cuellar said, “This is an excellent exercise of tribal sovereignty, allowing us as a tribe to shed our reliance on the federal government to enforce federal laws on the Rancheria. Enhancing these law enforcement capabilities and placing them back into the hands of tribes is critically important to the health and safety of our community and surrounding neighbors. It is an honor for them to be sworn in as federal officers today.” Many of the tribe’s law enforcement partners attended the ceremony.

Several wildfire areas are excluded from Christmas tree cutting, including this year’s Mosquito Fire closure area north of Wentworth Springs Road and areas burned in the 2021 Caldor Fire, including national forest lands along Mormon Emigrant Trail, Silver Fork Road and NorthSouth Road. Portions of the King Fire area are also closed to give seedlings a chance to grow and allow forests to re-establish. Cutting a Christmas tree improves forest health.

If/when supplemental property tax bills are sent out, the cost is estimated at $60,000. Harn told the Mountain Democrat the county would initially incur the expense and then recover the cost from LLAD funds received. All this legal wrangling could have been avoided had the CSD signed the letter, he added. “If the CSD board isn’t responsible for the assessments who is?” Harn asked.

LLAD liaison The EDHCSD recently announced its board is considering the formation of a LLAD Advisory Committee, which will review budgeted vs. actual costs, discuss issues with underfunded LLADs, delve into LLAD financials and intricate operations and serve as a liaison between the LLAD community and the board of directors.

California Matters

New tests underscore California’s educational crisis

alifornia has an overabundance of crises that could be fairly described as existential. We have critical shortages of water, electrical power and housing, our homelessness and Dan Walters poverty are the worst in the nation and out-of-control wildfires consume thousands of homes each year. There is another crisis that threatens California’s future, not as in-your-face evident as the others but potentially just as devastating — shamefully low levels of learning by the state’s nearly 6 million public school students. Before COVID-19 hit and authorities closed schools to limit spread of the deadly disease, California’s students were largely failing to meet the state’s own standards of skills necessary for productive adult lives, as well as faring poorly in nationwide testing. That was particularly true for the 60% of those children classified as poor or “English learner.” Both federal and state governments recently released results from the latest tests, indicating that the pandemic’s makeshift efforts to teach homebound students reduced learning even more The latest academic and widened the test results already yawning “achievement gap.” administered by Gov. Gavin federal and state Newsom and governments Tony Thurmond, the state indicate again superintendent of that California schools, tried to put has a severe positive spins on the test results, saying and potentially in essence that disastrous crisis in the declines could public education. have been worse, but sugarcoating them doesn’t alter the fact that California has a serious educational crisis that threatens to undermine its social and economic future. The National Assessment of Educational Progress results on fourth- and eighth-grade reading and math came out first and once again California was among the lowest achieving states, 12th from the bottom and below national averages in all categories. Newsom cherry-picked the data to claim, “California’s students experienced less learning loss than those in most other states during the pandemic” but conceded the “results are not a celebration but a call to action — students are struggling academically and we need to keep getting them the resources they need to thrive.” Newsom neglected to mention that students in the two red states he often singles out for scorn, Florida and Texas, scored much higher in the NAEP tests. Florida was sixth highest overall and Texas was well above national averages. State-by-state data also indicated — not for the first time — that there is no direct correlation between academic achievement and school spending. New York, the nation’s highest-spending state on education, came out lower than California, while several states on the low end of the spending list are leaders in achievement. Wyoming, No. 2 to New York in spending, is No. 1 in academics while neighboring Utah, the lowest spending state, is No. 5 in achievement. California’s education establishment, and most of its politicians, tend to confine the debate over academic achievement to money, but clearly there are other factors at play. Thurmond’s Department of Education released results from last spring’s “Smarter Balance” tests. Initially, Thurmond planned to delay release until later in the year, but when results of individual school districts showed declines in results, Thurmond faced media pressure to issue them earlier. Statewide, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding state standards declined by 4 percentage points (from 51% to 47%) for English

Letters to the Editor Fresh air EDITOR: n the spring and autumn one of nature’s remarkable spectacles takes place. Sandhill cranes fly high where the air is free as they chart their own course. You will hear their warble first, then spot them in a “V” formation pointing north in the spring, south in autumn. Then you will see them stop and circle in a flock in one spot. They are changing leaders. The one, in front, breaking the wind is tired and needs a replacement. They circle until a new leader takes charge and away, they go. We should do the same thing every election time. The city of Placerville (Old Hangtown) is in need of such an action. After nearly a decade that saw one family and its friends chart the future of Placerville, this domination of local politics needs to end. During their leadership, in my opinion, Hangtown is still the same worn-out little town it was before they assumed leadership, really. The streets are still in need of maintenance. The debacle over “Hangtown” as a name was a dismal failure. Have they helped to create new businesses in Placerville for you and provided jobs for a workforce that do not exist locally? When COVID-19 money became available to help businesses and the city, where did the money go? Tourism is the main income for Placerville. People come here to see and in their own mind visualize what the historical town looked like during the Gold Rush. What they see is a tired little town in desperate need of love, care, commonsense and compassion. At a time when we are trying to save what little history is left of Hangtown and the county, there has resurfaced a movement to tear down the mustard and ketchup buildings with the historical courthouse thrown in for good measure. In their place could go a modern glass and steel building that does not have any historical significance inside or out. A first-class museum displaying the history of this county, along with that of the indigenous people, would have been a tourist attraction. You may not know this piece of history. There was an El Dorado Indian War in which no treaties were ever signed. Looking at Placerville today, and I lived in Placerville, I would vote for David Yarbrough, Ruth Carter and Sean Briggs for new members to the Placerville City Council for the breath of fresh air Placerville (Hangtown) desperately needs, in my opinion. Be safe, prepared and vote. BRIAN DeBERRY Placerville

Non-partisan positions EDITOR: voted recently. On my ballot were a number of non-partisan school board candidates. Several days later I received a flyer identifying candidates endorsed by the Republican Party. Something has changed. I assume these school board positions are non-partisan because the incumbents are accountable to the parents of the children in the school. To be endorsed by a national political party seems to move some accountably away from the local area to some bigger and more distant group. The endorsed candidates must have passed a purity test to get their name and picture included in the flyer. Purity tests don’t seem like a good idea. FRANK MOSBACHER Placerville

Support for Brooke Laine EDITOR:

e are writing in support of Brooke Laine for El Dorado County District 5 supervisor. Brooke is a lifelong resident of El Dorado County, leaving only long enough to attend and graduate with a major in economics from University of California, Santa Cruz. Because she comes from a family that believes in service to the community, she returned to Lake Tahoe and became involved first in the family business, then in the banking industry. This was followed by terms on the City Council and as mayor. Email: editor@ mtdemocrat.net

Brooke is also active in Soroptimist of South Lake Tahoe, a nonprofit that raises money to provide scholarships and other support for young women. The Soroptimist Club of South Lake Tahoe, with Brooke’s energy and commitment, was the driving force behind development of the first regulation Title IX softball field, the first to serve women and girls as well as regulation adult leagues and with the ability to host tournaments. Following the Caldor fire, Brooke stepped up and with the Celio family at their Meyers ranch and hosted a fundraiser for victims. Her commitment to El Dorado County will make her the best choice for District 5 supervisor. BOB & LINDA MENDIZABEL South Lake Tahoe

The proof is in the pudding EDITOR: or about the last 50 years the Democrats have controlled both legislative houses in California. Along with their partners — the radical environmentalists, the CNA and the CTA — they have shaped the California we see today. Without a major water project since the 1970s and a doubling of the population today we sit with legislated mandates on personal water usage (rationing). Vast acres of the best farmland in the world lay fallow. The California government’s push to “green” energy has not only left us without enough energy to support the current requirements of our state but also has punished our residents with an average electrical rate that is 77% higher than the national average. Less expensive and more consistent, reliable power available from nuclear, hydroelectric and petroleum sources are scorned by our government. While our power grid is unstable, California is pushing to discontinue use of internal combustion engines, putting more pressure on the grid. California mismanagement and over-regulation of our timber industry and forests has led to huge wildfires polluting the atmosphere while laying waste to millions of acres. California has closed prisons and released criminals who terrorize our streets. California has embraced illegal aliens and homeless driving the poverty rate to the highest in the nation and further raising the crime rate. The combination of CARB regulations mandating a boutique gasoline mixture and extremely high taxes mean we pay $2 a gallon higher than national average. We pay the among the highest road taxes, yet our roads are rated near the bottom of all the states. Our expenditures per student are remarkably high compared to other states and yet our schools are rated near the bottom. High taxes, government mandates, high housing and living costs, along with soaring crime rates are driving residents out of the state.

Response to Mr. Alger EDITOR: would like to respond to Mr. Alger’s letter of Oct. 21. Firstly, let me agree with Mr. Alger for once that inflation is a serious problem facing our country. However, let’s look at reality. Inflation is a problem being faced across the globe due to increased demand for goods following the pandemic but with of a shortage of goods to meet that demand. While that knowledge will not help pay our bills it does acknowledge the depth and severity of the problem. The truth is that neither party nor the president has a magic wand to fix the problem. While there are things that Congress and the president can do to ameliorate the problem, the true fix is beyond their control. The body that has the most influence on inflation is the Federal Reserve, which can raise interest rates to slow demand.

This is also a great time of year to check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure home safety. Ordinary batteries should be changed every year. Folks using the newer, 10-year battery are probably in good shape.

Continued from A4

What are the Republican Party’s proposed solutions to the crisis? They have proposed extending the tax cuts for the rich and repealing the Biden Inflation Reduction Act and the student loan forgiveness plan. Most disturbingly, Mr. McCarthy has promised to hold the debt ceiling increase hostage to get reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits. Yes, you read that right. Will any of these proposals reduce inflation? The answer is no. What they will do is make it more difficult for low- and middle-income earners to make ends meet while continuing a huge tax break for the rich. More alarming, if Republicans gain control of Congress, they will continue to delegitimize our elections and sow doubt in our democratic institutions moving the U.S. ever further in the direction of authoritarian rule.

It was a race to victory for El Dorado and Union Mine high schools at the Sierra Valley Conference Championships Oct. 26 at Folsom Lake College’s Folsom campus. Both the El Dorado Cougars and Union Mine Diamondbacks showed their speed on a 3-mile course, competing against Liberty Ranch, Galt, Rosemont and Bradshaw Christian high schools. The results gave each school a win — one for the Cougars’ boys varsity team and one for the Diamondbacks’ girls varsity team. For Union Mine it is the first championship in seven years, according to head coach Kyle Fujitsubo. Each varsity Diamondback runner broke personal records, Fujitsubo added. Team captain and junior Ramona Reed took second place while junior Delaney Palmer came in third to lead the Diamondbacks to a team victory. Reed ran the race in 20:05, just behind El Dorado’s Lily Johnson, also a junior, who hit her own record of 19:55. The Cougars’ girls varsity team placed second. “These races move the Union Mine cross country teams higher in the rankings,” Fujitsubo said, adding that individuals or teams that place in the top three at the Sac-Joaquin Section Championship Nov. 12 advance to the CIF State Championships at the end of

November. “It is likely our girls will advance as a team, while our boys have a shot at advancing as well.” Seven out of the top 10 runners were from El Dorado County for the varsity girls’ race. El Dorado sophomore Ella Johnson and junior Alejandra Magana-Ramirez placed fourth and fifth, respectively, and Union Mine junior Lylia Zmerzlikar and freshman Audrey Klein placed ninth and 10th. It was the El Dorado boys varsity’s 12th consecutive SVC cross country championship, noted head coach Peanut Harms. Repeating his success from last year, senior Benjamin Sallee won a tight race against fellow Cougar and junior Braidon Campora to win it all. Their times were 16:05 and 16:07 for the 3-mile course. Out of 41 runners, the Cougars snagged five of the top 10 spots. In addition to Sallee and Campora, sophomore Camden Campora placed fifth, junior Cole Stout placed sixth and junior Lukas Pagan took seventh. The fastest times from the Diamondbacks came from sophomore Dylan Nonkester, 17:39, and junior Aiden Haboush, 17:40, who helped the team place second overall. El Dorado and Union Mine’s fastest will compete against Oak Ridge, Ponderorsa and Golden Sierra, as well as other Sacramentoarea schools, in Sac-Joaquin Section preliminary races Saturday, Nov. 5, in Angels Camp — the doorway to the Sac-Joaquin Section Championships.

50 years of wild trout waters California Department of Fish and Wildlife The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first designated Wild Trout Waters in the state, a pioneering wild trout conservation and management practice at the forefront of the nation’s modern environmental movement of the 1960s and 1970s and a designation still benefitting California anglers today. The California Fish and Game Commission created CDFW’s Wild Trout Program in 1971 at the urging of California Trout, the nonprofit, San Franciscobased wild trout conservation organization formed the same year. The Wild Trout Program — today called the Heritage and Wild Trout Program — was created in recognition of the need to protect and enhance the state’s wild trout fisheries while also maintaining wild trout fishing opportunities for the public. In 1972 the commission

designated 17 streams as Wild Trout Waters and has added to those waters every year since. Under the California Fish and Game Code, the commission is required to add at least 25 miles of stream and at least one lake to the program annually. Among those first 17 Wild Trout Waters were portions of the North Fork of the American River, Hat Creek, Fall River, Eel River, Owens River and Hot Creek. Many of the first designated wild trout fisheries are still recognized today by trout anglers throughout the country. “The founders of the Heritage and Wild Trout Program were truly visionary a half century ago and we certainly owe them a huge thanks for the conservation of these very special places and these very special fish,” said CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham. “CalTrout has been proud to promote and partner with CDFW on the Heritage and Wild Trout Program since its inception,” said

Curtis Knight, executive director of California Trout. “We believe this program was progressive and cutting-edge when it was established in the 1970s. Today it has evolved and continues to be one of the most effective fish water policies in the country.” Earlier this month the commission added two new waters to the program: The North Fork Mokelumne River, which flows through portions of Alpine, Amador and Calaveras counties, and Silver Lake in Tulare County. Since its founding, the main charge of the program has been to manage and enhance California’s wild, self-sustaining trout populations. In 2003 the Heritage Trout Challenge was launched to encourage anglers to explore waters that support native trout species. Anglers that catch any six of the state’s qualifying 10 native trout species from their historic drainages are recognized by CDFW with a personalized award for their accomplishments.

adjoining buildings needed work “We were aware of the problem and we were looking at repairing the roof,” said Morris. “We worked with a structural engineer who recommended that shoring be done on the west wall before we did any repair of the roof.” Shoring in this case is using timber to support that west wall. The shoring went up in 2021, complete with scaffolding inside and out. An engineer working with building design firm Architectural Nexus recommended the buildings’ other walls be looked at prior to roof work taking place. Morris held a meeting with Placerville building inspector Gregory Horsfall, as well as a structural engineer with Architectural Nexus, a representative from Burne Engineering and the structural engineer who performed the shoring of the west wall. A 2015 feasibility study performed by Burne Engineering did not provide the in-depth detail required to show the structural issues now being revealed, according to Morris. However, Burne personnel had done the initial report — considered a valuable addition to the meeting. Thie meeting prompted Horsfall to perform an official assessment of the building this summer.

New home In 2021 the county-owned old post office/district attorney’s office and annex building at 525 Main St. were awarded to the city of Placerville and local nonprofit El Dorado Gold 1848. Just as with Old City Hall, Placerville planned to enter into an agreement with Arts and Culture El Dorado for the use of 525 Main as an art and agriculture space, including a rooftop garden and demonstration kitchen. In the meantime Arts and Culture El Dorado will utilize the annex building for office space until such a time that 487 and 489 Main St. are cleared for occupancy. However, the structure at 525 Main also needs roof work prior to Arts and Culture El Dorado setting up shop

there. Terry LeMoncheck, Arts and Culture El Dorado’s executive director, does not see the move as a setback. “Arts and Culture was always planning to move to 525 Main St. once testing and retrofit analysis made it necessary for us to do so and now that time has arrived,” she said. “We’re excited that the project is starting.” LeMoncheck told the Mountain Democrat city staff has been very accommodating and is facilitating the move. “This project has been proposed for years and years and years,” Councilwoman Patty Borelli said. “I was the lone wolf for a long time advocating to hold onto those buildings.” Borrelli noted the project first proposed by the arts organization has changed over the years. “They were going to obtain a lot of funding … and unfortunately the recession hit and all kinds of things happened,” she said. The arts organization’s initial cultural master plan proposed a cultural arts district in Placerville that included the neighboring courthouse, Old City Hall, old post office/district attorney’s office and annex building. “We started out with this wonderful project that everybody was in favor of, or seemed to be,” she said. “It’s dwindled down to this and I’m still fighting.” LeMoncheck stated that plans continue to move forward. “The plans have not changed and still contemplate space for programming and administration, residential units for artists (the rent from which will go directly to the City to create a building maintenance fund), a flexible community space and dedicated space for the intersection of agriculture and the arts,” LeMoncheck shared. The City Council on Oct. 25 unanimously approved entering into a contract with Architectural Nexus to the tune of $20,000 to perform a stabilization study that will inform the next step in the process of rehabilitation of the Immigrant Jane building and Confidence Hall.

Eco-Friendly alternative for land clearing & brush control!

Goats have the amazing ability to clear out dense vegetation in difficult terrain where equipment cannot. Goat browsing helps to mitigate fire hazards by reducing brush ladders at residential properties. Our goats are ideal for 1/2 acre to 3-acre jobs. If you have larger acreage, we can discuss options.

This year, especially, there is reason to be grateful as communities around the world return to normal. I spent two lovely weeks in Italy last month.

I had the opportunity to see many works by the famous Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Michelangelo was the quintessential renaissance man.

News release

ACRAMENTO — For thousands of years dragons have captured the imagination of cultures around the world. From the fire-breathing dragons of Europe to the silent killers of Africa and the ocean’s serpent kings, dragons have converged on the Sacramento Zoo. Through Feb. 26, 2023, steel your courage and venture into the mystical world of Dragon Discovery at the Sac Zoo. Experience 14 towering animatronic dragons from all corners of the globe and learn how some zoo animals carry traits similar to these mythical creatures of lore. Th exhibit is generously sponsored by First 5 California and is free for all ages with the price of zoo admission. For additional information visit the zoo website: saczoo.org.

WITH A HOME STANDBY GENERATOR Dragon Discovery is sponsored by First 5 California.

About the Sacramento Zoo The Sacramento Zoo is home to more than 400 native, rare and endangered animals and is one of more than 200 accredited institutions of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The zoo inspires conservation awareness and action through animal care, education and recreation, and it welcomes an average of 500,000 visitors a year. The Sacramento

Zoological Society formed in 1958 to support and raise funds for the zoo that was created in 1927 in William Land Park. In 1970 the Sacramento City Council adopted the name Sacramento Zoo. And in 1997, as city funding continued to decrease, the Sacramento Zoological Society assumed responsibility for the Zoo’s management and the majority of its financial support.

German heritage revival The Sacramento Turn Verein brings its annual Christmas Market (Christkindlmarkt) back to the community, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 3. In many towns in Germany and Austria, advent is usually ushered in with the opening of the town’s Christkindlmarkt. Generally held in the town square and pedestrian zones, the market combines food and drink in the open air, shopping, pageantry and tradition. Onlookers welcome the Christkind, or Christ child, in the form of a golden-haired angel played by local youth. The annual Sacramento Christkindlemarkt is held in the historical Turn Verein building on J Street in Sacramento. Highlights of this festive event include traditional German music, 28 booths featuring local vendors, lebkuchen and magenbrot (traditional German baked Christmas treats), glühwein (mulled wine), daily appearances of Saint Nicholas and the German Christkind (Christ Child) and holiday cheer. Many hand-crafted items are available. Visit sacramentoturnverein.com for more.

Runs to make a difference In addition to being grateful for the events we can simply experience, there are events where our

margaritalherrera@icloud.com

participation is leveraged for the greater good. Events to feed neighbors in need will be held in Sacramento and Folsom on Thanksgiving morning. There is nothing quite like the joy one feels when participating in one of these events. Not only are neighbors facing hard times provided with necessary food and essentials, calories are burned before family feasts. It’s hard not to smile when you see some people wearing turkey hats (or costumes) on Thanksgiving morning. The positive vibes are giddy. The Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services hosts the annual Run to Feed the Hungry in East Sacramento. Nearly 30,000 people participate in this annual 5K/10K fun run/walk. It is the largest fun run/walk in the country. Visit runtofeedthehungry.com for registration and more information. The Folsom Turkey trot hosts some 4,000 participants and benefits the Twin Lakes Food Bank. Like its older cousin in Sacramento, participants receive a fun run T-shirt and the opportunity to make a difference. Visit folsomturkeytrot.com for registration and route details.

Carpe diem “Renaissance” means “rebirth.” As our community reawakens, take advantage of opportunities to experience something beautiful. Michelangelo himself felt that the art experience went beyond simple observation. “Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all come,” Michelangelo said. Happy Thanksgiving! Send your event for consideration in Susan’s column to slaird@handywriting.com.

Live radio show promises to be a swashbuckling adventure News release SUTTER CREEK — The Main Street Theatre Works Mercury Theatre Radio Players will recreate the literary classic “Treasure Island” in a live radio show re-enactment, Nov. 4-6. A “live radio show” is a staged-recreation of the way radio programs were produced before television, with actors around a microphone and sound effects coming from a foley table, not a computer. In 1938 Orson Welles and his company, the Mercury Theatre on the Air, produced their first radio play, “Dracula,” followed by “Treasure Island,” an adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, condensed into a 60-minute broadcast. This November, the MSTW Mercury Theatre Radio Players recreates this radio classic for a three-day only theater event, with two evening performances at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday. The performances will

For the Sunday show doors open at 1:15 p.m. for dessert. Seating is very limited; reservations are encouraged, though tickets will be available at the door. Relive the golden age of radio, complete with live sound effects. MSTW Artistic Associate Allen Pontes has produced, directed and starred as Orson in the past 11 MSTW radio productions and these productions adhere to the same time constraints, same script and live sound effects, just the way Orson directed it. Other cast members include Scott Adams, Julie Anchor, Ernesto Bustos, Mike Sicilia, and Andrew Adams as the young Jim Hawkins. For tickets and more information visit MSTW.org.

‘A powerful piece’

Local artist paints mural in South Lake Tahoe Madison Schultz Tahoe Daily Tribune

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — South Lake Tahoe is making proactive strides toward becoming a host for not just year-round outdoor fun, but also become a staple in the basin’s art scene. “Sierra Juniper” is a new mural being installed in midtown on what once was the blank, white wall behind Blue Dog Pizza on Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Annie Walker is the artist behind this mural and submitted a small drawing example to the Tahoe Art League of the piece she had in mind for the blank wall. Shortly thereafter, the Tahoe Art League hired Walker, appreciating her eccentric, unique and colorful style technique in efforts to bring a new, unconventional style to South Lake Tahoe. “When I moved here two years ago I started taking classes at Lake Tahoe Community College to get involved in the local art community,” Walker said. “Shortly thereafter, I applied “I think it’s powerful to this opportunity to highlight in the through the Tahoe Art League and now local community I’m super excited to just for how be working on and resilient South Lake showcasing this piece.” Walker’s artistic Tahoe has been process is distinctive, over the past few as she uses her own grid system with the years.” creative incorporation — Artist Annie Walker of shapes, colors and even animals; she also utilizes irregular tools through her execution process such as car washing hand mitts. “My creative process began with creating a grid to scale the art piece to the size of this wall, but not in the way you’d typically think,” Walker said. “I created a grid that works for me, which is a bunch of scribbles to follow the length of the tree branches, the background of the piece and even the foreground so it was to scale and evenly filled out the entire wall.” Sierra Juniper pays homage to the beauty of the Lake Tahoe Basin, but the juniper tree means something much deeper to Walker. “I’ve always been inspired by the juniper trees; they’re some of the oldest trees and they survive everything,” Walker said. “They’re resilient and I think it’s powerful to highlight in the local community just for how resilient South Lake Tahoe has been over the past few years.” Bringing unique art murals such as this to the South Lake Tahoe community has been a longtime goal for the Tahoe Art League. Rebecca Bryson, board president of the Tahoe Art League, reflects on the process of bringing this mural to fruition and, according to her, it’s been a long time coming. “It’s been difficult to find the perfect spot for this mural, not just finding a wall that worked but

also finding someone that owned the building that would allow us to put this together,” Bryson said. “We are so grateful to Blue Dog Pizza for allowing us to paint this piece here and bring life to the back of the building.” In fact, with the tireless effort from the Tahoe Art League to bring this piece to accomplishment, there has been a lot of community collaboration and local support surrounding this art mural. “This [piece] has been a major group effort,” Scott Forrest, board member on the Tahoe Arts Council said. “The city of South Lake Tahoe’s arts commission, the El Dorado Community Foundation and Tahoe Women’s Community Fund have joined in with the Tahoe Art League to bring the first-ever project that the arts commission has ever gotten approved; so, it’s really a powerful piece and a step in a positive direction for South Lake Tahoe’s art scene.”

Looking forward, the Tahoe Art League and Tahoe Arts Council is optimistic about bringing more of this art throughout the community and making the midtown strip of South Lake Tahoe better known as the proposed “arts district.” “My vision is to have a beautiful gallery of art when driving down Lake Tahoe Boulevard through the main strip of town,” Forrest said. “We’ve been talking about bringing a hopeful arts district to South Lake Tahoe for almost four years now. I’m optimistic it will come to life with the first piece finally here.” The Tahoe Art League is the oldest nonprofit in South Lake Tahoe, being just one year older than the city of South Lake Tahoe. To continue to support and grow similar projects in the area, individuals are encouraged to donate as well as support local events that the organization puts together.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $414,683.47 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 102400-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 102400-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

The proposed termination of your parental rights is to allow Scarlett Mae Stribble, to be adopted by Craigan Stribble, who has filed a Petition for adoption with this Court. The court will consider whether the interest of Scarlett Mae Stribble require the appointment of counsel for her. If the court finds that the interest of the child require representation by counsel, the court shall appoint counsel to represent the child, regardless of whether or not the child is able to afford counsel. The child shall not be present in court unless the child so requests or the court so orders. If a parent appears without councel and is unable to afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel for the parent, unless that representation is knowingly and intelligently waived. The public defender or private counsel may be appointed as counsel pursuant to this article. The same counsel shall not be appointed to both the child and the child’s parent. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. That amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the mino, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid out of the general fund of the county. The court may continue the proceeding for not to exceed 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to become acquainted with the case.

be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED January 2, 2002. 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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On December 7, 2022 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on January 11, 2002 as Instrument No. 2002-0002789-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by JOHN P. EDMUNDS, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of PCM FINANCIAL SERVICES as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4585 MARSHALL ROAD, GARDEN VALLEY, CA 95633 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $69,348.79 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000720-22-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000720-22-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible

tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

OLSOM — Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys” comes to Sutter Street Theatre, opening Nov. 4. Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for more than 40 years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to reunite his elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in 12 years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye. The show, rated PG-13, is directed by Janelle Kauffman. Performances of “The Sunshine Boys” are scheduled at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 4:30 p.m. Sundays and a special performance at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at Sutter Street Theatre, 717 Sutter St. in Folsom. Make a reservation at SutterStreetTheatre.com or call (916) 353-1001.
