Hidahl takes District 1 in landslide victory Sel Richard Staff writer In a long race that began almost a year ago, District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl has finally secured his seat on the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors. With a vote count of 12,721, incumbent Hidahl trounced challenger and former District 4 Supervisor Ron Briggs’ 4,510 votes, garnering a 63% majority. Coming out with a strong lead early on, Hidahl continued to soar, clinching an easy win by the close of the night. Hidahl has been fighting for his seat since the March primary where he emerged just shy of the majority needed to win outright, forcing him to redouble campaign efforts, although Briggs only captured 24% of the primary vote.
Much of the battle for the supervisorial seat centered on what many consider a crucial issue to the community, Parker Development’s proposed Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. The development requires a General Plan amendment to rezone the old executive golf course from recreational facilities/high intensity to residential. Briggs was vocal in his opposition to the plan while Hidahl took a more conciliatory tone, stating he is willing to consider a compromise but would not support the project as it currently stands. Over the summer the application was removed from the planning commission calendar pending a new traffic metric standard. Although Briggs graciously conceded, he n

District 2 supe’s race still in play Dawn Hodson Staff writer
It’s still a close race between George Turnboo and Ken Pimlott as to who will become the next El Dorado County Supervisor in District 2. As of press time Thursday Pimlott led with 9,322 votes to Turnboo’s 8,555 with 66.32% of total votes for the district counted. Holding an election eve party at the Brewhouse at Jackz just outside of Placerville, Turnboo remained optimistic that this will be the year he wins after four tries at the job of supervisor. “I worked really hard on my campaign this year,” he said, noting it included a lot of grassroots campaigning n

Placerville Mayor Michael Saragosa has taken the lead in a contest of five candidates running for two seats on the Placerville City Michael Saragosa Council. Saragosa had more than a 2-point lead on Jackie Neau and about a 3-point lead over Tracy Bunch as of press time Thursday. A finish in the top two would mean Saragosa will serve Jackie Neau a four-year term on City Council. In a fight for second Jackie Neau leads Tracy Bunch by a mere 81 votes. Neau, a community volunteer and El Dorado Trail champion and Bunch, a community liaison Tracy Bunch for the El Dorado County Office of Education would be making their debut on the council with a top-two finish. So far 5,876 votes have been tallied but there are still 2,322 ballots not yet counted n

A California Superior Court Judge on Monday tentatively ruled in favor of an abuse of power lawsuit filed against Gov. Gavin Newsom. Behind the lawsuit are California Assembly members James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) and Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin). Judge Sarah Heckman, who sits on the Superior Court of Sutter County, declared Newsom’s recent Executive Order N-6720 unconstitutional. Her ruling places a permanent injunction against Gov. Newsom, preventing him from unilaterally making or changing state law moving forward, according to a news release from the offices of Gallagher and Kiley. “We have been arguing the California Emergency Services Act does not provide for oneman rule. Today the court agreed with us,” said the lawmakers in a joint statement. “This is a victory

of California.” Assembly members Gallagher and Kiley think Newsom overstepped his authority during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since declaring a state of emergency in mid-March, the governor has issued more than 40 executive orders, according to a court filing by Gallagher. “Nobody disputes that there are actions that should be taken to keep people safe during an emergency. That doesn’t mean that we put our Constitution and free society on hold by centralizing all power in the hands of one man,” said Gallagher and Kiley in a joint statement. Assemblyman Gallagher represents the 3rd Assembly District, which encompasses all of Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba counties as well as portions of Butte and Colusa counties.

Today the judicial branch again gave him the check that was needed and that the Constitution requires.” The governor’s office and plaintiffs who filed the legal action will be given 10 days to respond to the tentative decision before it becomes official. The Emergency Services Act, enacted in 1970, gives the governor more authority in state emergencies. Previous governors over the last half-century primarily used that authority to respond to regional natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, drought and flooding. The law grants the governor “complete authority over all agencies of the state government and the right to exercise within the area designated all police power vested in the state by the Constitution and laws of the state

owns a local lumber mill, worried the economic base of the county is changing as it becomes more urbanized. “Lumber, mining and agriculture are what made this area great,” he said, noting that those industries are slowly going away. “I support Turnboo because I want someone on the Board of Supervisors who speaks for us, is independent and speaks his mind,” Pimental said. Ginger Keyes, another partygoer, said Turnboo is “a good, honest man who’s been fighting for this county and will bring honesty back to the county.” Pimlott held a virtual election night event where he thanked his supporters and discussed election results via Zoom. Pimlott told the Mountain Democrat Wednesday morning returns so far looked promising but he said he would be checking in on the election results as more votes are tabulated. Pimlott said he brings more than 30 years experience as

a career firefighter and that experience includes budgeting, administering programs and working with different stakeholders at all levels of government. He also cited his familiarity with grants that can help reduce the risk of wildfire in the county. Pimlott promised to work with PG&E to reduce power shutdowns and get the utility to clean out underbrush along their right-ofways to reduce the threat of fire. Other issues he noted were the condition of roads and growth in general. “How can we have responsible growth that doesn’t overburden our infrastructure and follow the tenets of our General Plan?” he asked. Wrapping up his comments, Pimlott said, “If elected I’m excited at this opportunity to continue to serve the public. I’ve had over 30 years in public service and am excited to bring that service home to El Dorado County.”

during which he said he learned people’s biggest concerns were about roads, power shutoffs and public safety. “We also have a lot of drugs in this county,” he added. If elected, Turnboo said he would bring more businesses into the county, including small manufacturers, bring back logging, build a cogeneration plant for power and create a county FAIR plan in order to lower the cost of fire insurance, provide more support to local fire departments and repair county roads. He also has a 12-step program for the homeless to put them back to work. A busy man who, when not out campaigning, operates his own auto repair shop and is the pastor at his church, Turnboo said if he loses this time, it will probably be his last try. “But I’ll always be a voice for the county,” he promised. Those at Turnboo’s election night party shared many of his concerns. Rod Pimental, who

Incumbents Paulsen, Mattock hold on to CSD seats Sel Richard Staff writer It was a fight to the finish in the race to fill two seats on the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Board of Directors with newcomer and Promontory resident Sita Burgess giving incumbents Ben Paulsen and Noelle Mattock a run for their money. Paulsen garnered 9,805 (21.23%) votes and Mattock 10,289 (22.28%) to eke out a victory over Burgess’ 8,852 (19.17%), a strong showing for a candidate who showed up on the scene a mere five months ago. Dan Sozzi, who publicly withdrew from the race, still managed to nab 2,700 (5.85%) votes. Burgess’ meteoric rise in notoriety was due to her involvement in recent community discontent with disruptive behavior around Kalithea Park and private property surrounding the Beatty Drive area also known as “Heaven.” Since June she has managed to mobilize multiple agencies into action over an issue
that has been sticking in the neighborhood’s proverbial craw for multiple years. While Burgess brought her concerns to the forefront of Ben Paulsen several recent CSD board meetings, both Paulsen and Mattock managed to hold on to their seats. “Over the next four years I look forward to delivering on what the community wants,” said Mattock, thanking her supporters for their continued support. “I will work with the board, CSD staff, our partners and you to meet the needs of our growing community. I am humbled and honored to be re-elected to serve you, our great community, on the CSD board.” Mattock is excited to kick off construction of the Bass Lake project and promises to develop more trail
connectivity and build new sports fields. “We are listening and now is the time for the community to share their voice in our 2021 Master Plan survey, which Noelle Mattock will help create the vision of our future,” she said. “Now is the time we move forward to work together and keep El Dorado Hills one of the best places to live.” Likewise, Paulsen also expressed his gratitude. “I’m honored and excited to have the opportunity to serve this great community for another four years,” he said. “I’d like to thank the community and residents for trusting me to serve them for another term and look forward to working closely with community partners, constituents, our amazing board and staff. “With many accolades and accomplishments we’ve made
amazing progress on future projects and I’m thrilled to be able to see these projects and dreams become realities,” he added. “I want to maintain this positive momentum and build upon our great community. I want to continue to secure land for more parks and open space, ensuring we have enough to serve our growing community now and into the future.” Although Burgess is disappointed, she said she was touched by the show of support. “It was a tremendous experience to work with various community leaders, agencies and neighbors these past many months,” she said. “I congratulate Ben Paulsen and Noelle Mattock on their wins and continued efforts to serve this community,” she continued. “I especially want to thank my family for their gracious support and all of my neighbors and friends. We have a bright future in front of us. Let’s continue making El Dorado Hills the wonderful community that it is today.”
Work to begin in Folsom on expressway to Elk Grove News release FOLSOM — The Folsom City Council voted unanimously Oct. 27 to approve a construction agreement to begin work on a segment of a 34-mile expressway that would ultimately connect Interstate 5 in Elk Grove to Highway 50 in El Dorado Hills. Construction consists of four lanes and a bridge over Alder Creek, which will result in a new alignment of White Rock Road adjacent and immediately south of its existing location — it is referred to as the D3 segment of the Capital Southeast Connector. The City of Folsom is managing construction for this project on behalf of the Capital SouthEast Joint Powers Authority and in collaboration with Sacramento County. Goodfellow Brothers, LLC has been contracted to

date, been funded primarily through a Sacramento County sales tax measure approved in 2004 by 75% of voters. A recent survey of voters showed more than 80% of voters want the tax revenue specifically spent on upgrading roads to maintain safe emergency response times. Construction funding was secured by the JPA totaling over $25 million through grants from the state when it was ranked the No. 1 funding priority by the Sacramento Transportation Authority in 2018. “Our success to leverage local funds to secure large construction grants speaks to the benefit of regional collaboration and partnerships,” said Derek Minnema, Executive Director of the Capital SouthEast Connector JPA. Folsom is set to begin construction this winter, with completion expected in 2022.
Raffety issued a concession statement Thursday. “It appears Division 3 directors fade away in the next election. Ironically I suffered the same fate that former Director Bill George did. Congratulations to Brian Veerkamp.” In the race for Division 5 Incumbent Alan Day was unopposed and automatically reelected for another four-year term.

that were sent to Placerville voters. Each voter was able to vote for two candidates, meaning 4,644 votes could come in but out of the 4,287 ballots already counted for City Council, only 1,595 (37.2%) voted for two candidates. Saragosa has received 1,709 votes (19.93%), Neau sits at 1,514 votes (17.66%) and Bunch is slightly behind with 1,433 votes (16.71%). Saragosa, Neau and Bunch had not responded to a request for comment from the Mountain Democrat as of press time Thursday. Also running are Mandi Rodriguez (908 votes, 10.59%) and Jackie Yepez (309 votes, 3.6%). Unlike most years, none of the candidates chose to host election night parties due to COVID-19 concerns. Volunteers at the Elections Department worked throughout the night counting ballots submitted through drop boxes, mail and in-person voting with 65.96% of the county’s registered voters’ ballots tallied as of early Wednesday morning.

here is no place quieter or more forlorn than the losing candidate’s headquarters the morning after election night. If the phone rings, it’s a good bet that it is either one more unpaid creditor looking for payment or a wrong number. Gone are MARK SHIELDS yesterday’s hopes for the upset win to confound the pollsters and the pundits. If you know or run into any staffer from a losing campaign, take a little extra time to offer her some attention and a little encouragement. Too often, as the wonderful sports novelist John R. Tunis wisely wrote, “Losing is the great American sin.” After 60 years of hanging around candidates and elections, I have learned that political campaigns do not build character. But campaigns — and especially losing campaigns — do reveal character. Let me give you a couple of examples. After President George H.W. Bush was denied a second term by the young Democratic governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton, Bush left the following handwritten note on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 1993, for his successor: “Dear Bill, “When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too. “I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some presidents have described. “There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don’t let the critics discourage you or push you off course. “You will be our president when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well. “Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you. “Good luck. — George.” That, dear readers, is class. After he lost in a landslide to President Ronald Reagan, the Democratic nominee Walter “Fritz” Mondale spoke these words: “Although I would have rather won, tonight we rejoice in our democracy. We rejoice in the freedom of a wonderful people, and we accept their verdict.” Class. Bob Dole, who was the first to point out that he had lost national races both as President Gerald Ford’s vice presidential running mate in 1976 and as the Republican presidential nominee in1996, handled his defeat with characteristic humor: “Contrary to reports that I took the loss badly, I want to say that I went home last night and slept like a baby — every two hours I woke up and cried.” Two months after his crushing defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale walked into Washington’s Palm restaurant and ran into his fellow Democrat George McGovern who, 12 years earlier, had been crushed by President Richard Nixon. Mondale asked McGovern: “Tell me, George, when does it stop hurting?” McGovern’s wistful answer: “I’ll let you know, Fritz. ... I’ll let you know.” My favorite concession statement was not delivered ■

Letters to the Editor The PG&E menace EDITOR: ow sad it is that the largest electric utility in the U.S., with a monopoly here in California, is also the biggest threat to our safety and well-being. The fact that these widespread public safety power shutoffs are necessary is proof. PG&E has been starting wildfires and not just little spot fires, but huge fires that turn massive amounts of acres to ash, along with communities, homes and people’s dreams. All because its corporate culture is focused on profits and bonuses for top management. PG&E has forgotten that along with that monopoly was supposed to be responsibility — responsibility to provide safe, reliable electrical energy for California residents. Instead PG&E is providing destruction ... and advertising. Lots of advertising: advertising to tell us how it is keeping us “safe” with these PSPS, how to prepare for disaster and evacuation, how to harden your home and how to have defensible space. PG&E has overstepped its mission. The mission is to provide safe, reliable electricity. The mission should not be to tell us how to deal with the emergencies it causes because is should not be causing the emergency. The mission is to ensure that lines are maintained so the slightest breeze doesn’t bring the lines down. The mission is to keep those lines safe by clearing vegetation hazards. That is the job and PG&E needs to get busy and do it. SUE RODMAN Placerville resident and disgusted PG&E customer

Having said that, in light of the four ideas for weekend traffic through town, especially during Apple Hill season, wouldn’t roundabouts be a possible solution? Just a thought as I see traffic stopped out side my home in Smith Flat a mile past the Point View exit. JOHN POPE Placerville

Patriotic music EDITOR:
The noose is a dog whistle EDITOR: dog whistle is a tool that when blown only dogs hear, right? And gaslighting is an abuse technique where the abuser slowly conditions their victim to no longer trust their inner guidance, which leaves them easily manipulatable. Well, “dog whistling” is a gaslighting abuse technique where an abuser can cause suffering to another without others being aware what is occurring. When the abused tries to speak up against it it is dismissed by others as they are not

being hurt by the action. The visible hangman’s nooses all over Placerville are abusive dog whistles. Nooses cause traumatriggering and are a message to many that say, “We will kill you. You better stay away; you’re not welcome here.” I understand now how those who are saying our noose is not racist have not been subject to the generational abuse and therefore not affected by the “dog whistle.” Placerville we are strong and we are kind. We want our town to economically thrive, yes? Then why would we choose to discourage people of color from visiting Main Street and choose to be seen as a town of racists? JULIE ROBINSON Placerville

here has America’s patriotic music gone? I feel our country is in need to hear our beautiful, lively and meaningful music. I feel we need to hear the delightful descriptions of America in “our” music — “America the Beautiful,” yes, it is; “God Bless America,” “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” just to start a list. Aren’t the words in our songs the reason we want to be in America? I hope so. It is for me. Where ever music is played perhaps America’s songs should start to be heard. GAIL STEWART Placerville

Congressman Doolittle for his efforts. On Oct. 1, 2019, EID paid off the bonds that financed the $11.5 million purchase. What did we gain with the purchase? For $11.5 million, EID not only owns the reservoir but, more importantly, the water rights. EID also owns two associated water treatment plants, 63 miles of water lines, canals, a diversion dam and tunnel, a 7.6-mile conduit, campgrounds, trails and park land surrounding the lake. The construction costs back in the 1950s totaled about $31 million. EID bought the assets for $11.5 million. The value today for our ratepayers is priceless. Because EID owns and controls Sly Park, the district is not subject to unnecessary federal government regulations. It is likely that EID’s service area and customers would have been under significant water shortages during the historic drought of 20112017 had we not owned this valuable resource. With EID’s planning and construction of the Hazel Creek tunnel, EID can move and store water from its federally licensed hydroelectric project, Project 184. This is incredibly valuable because Sly Park is used as a drought protection reservoir as well as
a reservoir that we can use to increase non-rate revenue through water transfer sales — thus reducing pressure on rates. Quite simply, owning the facilities gives EID local control over the historic water rights that go with it. For an $11.5 million long-term investment, EID gained ownership of an annual yield of nearly 21,000 acrefeet of water — one-third of our total supply. Coupled with the acquisition of Project 184 — the PG&E power generation assets purchased in 1999 — EID now has local control of more than 80% of its water supply. It is forward-thinking planning like this that I would like to acknowledge. The water rights and the facilities that came with this purchase are truly priceless. To build and acquire the kind of assets that we obtained for $11.5 million would cost many, many times that amount. Having local control of our primary water source has been very important to EID, its customers and the wider community. Jenkinson Lake, at the heart of one of El Dorado County’s most popular recreation areas, holds more than 40,000 acre-feet of water that provides a stable supply for the

county’s annual report,” Yee said. “Policymakers and other interested parties throughout California rely on the quality of this uniformly reported information.” Counties must follow the eligibility criteria specified by the state controller to qualify for this award.

is pessimistic about the golf course’s fate. “It seems to me that the election paved the way for the rezone of the old golf course,” he said, pointing out that he ran heavily on killing the concept. Nevertheless, he maintains his high opinion of Hidahl, congratulating him on the win. “I like John,” he said. “I think he’s a good man. If he ever needs my help, I’m available.” Relieved to have the election behind him, Hidahl remains optimistic about the future. “I’m hopeful that the negativity associated with this campaigning cycle at all levels can be converted to positive energy to work together and improve our EDH community and El Dorado County,” he said. “We will always be stronger together as we navigate through the pandemic and restore as much normalcy as possible for our youth,
our businesses, for the unemployed and for the most vulnerable populations amongst us, especially our beloved seniors.” Hoping to continue a legacy of community collaboration, Hidahl acknowledges not all of his actions are popular. “While we will never all agree on any given decision that has to be made by the Board of Supervisors, I will listen to all perspectives offered and seek to effect change for the greater good of EDH and all of our county residents,” he insisted. “I am extremely thankful and blessed to have earned the privilege to serve as the District 1 Supervisor for four more years,” Hidahl continued. “I want to express my sincere appreciation to all my supporters, campaign contributors, coaches and friends who helped me reach this milestone.”

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t get too hung up on nailing the accuracy of every decision right now because that will hold you back from making any choice at all. Best guesses are good enough. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are times in life when it does seem as though all your happiness is dependent on a single outcome. It’s an illusion, and if it’s not helping you, then it’s time to be more realistic about the stakes. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The limits on your perception include mechanisms adapted over hundreds of thousands of years to keep you safe and grounded in a shared reality. Even so, you’ll challenge them and win. CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one wants in on the process; they just want the transformation. That’s fine. You can use the principle to your advantage. Do the transformational work. Don’t talk about it. Put that energy into the price tag. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). With a mind abuzz with ideas, wishes, hopes and dreams, just be sure to also spend a good deal of focus on the practical aspects of the present moment. If you don’t enjoy today, pleasure stays out of reach. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Projects, dreams and relationships have as much of a life cycle as anything that breathes. When it’s over, it’s over, and there’s nothing that can revive it. The gift is a clean slate, the embrace of something entirely new.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know how to buckle down and work hard, but that’s not the best strategy for today. The situation asks you to envision solutions that are different from the ones that brought success in the past. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a social genius. Not only do you play well with others, you also introduce people who wouldn’t otherwise know one another. You put two and two together in a way that adds up to so much more than four. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some of the best people you know have fallen right into your life without ever being vetted in any way. You just happened upon greatness, and you will do it again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you do nothing, nothing happens. There’s a time and place when “nothing” is just about the most perfect thing you could do! Not now though. Today, the risks will be worth it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll praise someone, and it will go straight to the heart. The other thing is that people are generally skeptical of flattery, but the way you do it is so pure that it dissolves defenses. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is a rare moment with a cosmic gift to match. What a boon! You’ll have an idea about how to improve your life and, bonus, you will be completely right about it, too.

s the sun began to rise each summer morning, it may have been checking on artist Debra Power at the Pinewood Elementary School. By the time the sun’s rays hit the blacktop, Power was well in her stride of creating beautiful murals meant to teach, unify and be played on by the Pollock Pines school’s students. She designed and completed three artistic projects: the Buddy Bench mural, agility trail and map of California— all approved by the local school board and the parent teacher cub. The Buddy Bench mural features children of different races with their arms interlocked or hugging each other next to the donated n

ictor Larson, artisan and wood crafter, is November’s featured artist at Art On the Divide Cooperative Gallery. His practical pieces are meant to enhance life in the aesthetic function of everyday life. Larson has been an artist his entire life. He remembers two simple tools that allowed him to use his hands — a pencil because he always loved to draw and a pocket knife that an uncle taught him to sharpen and use. “The closer the hands to the work with simple tools the more I enjoy making,” he said. Studying art in college he was greatly influenced by his teachers. Their teaching of the creative process instilled in him a foundation of curiosity, experimentation and a trust of his instincts. These are the basis of his creative work to this day. Woodcraft soon became his vocation as he devoted time in Santa Cruz to building small, traditional wood rowing and sailing craft, enjoying the flowing curves, creating something both beautiful and functional to the last detail. A better paying job was needed as he met and married Melissa. He partnered with a friend in West Marin,
Artist Victor Larson focuses mostly on wood-turning, enjoying the process of carving and shaping wood with tool in hand.
where he built cabinets and did finish work for clients in the area. Later he was running the wood shop for a local contractor in Point Reyes Station. This career lasted him another 35 years until his retirement in 2011. Now retired and living with wife Melissa on the Divide since 2016, Larson focuses mostly on wood-turning, enjoying the process of carving and shaping wood with tool in hand. He is never idle and visitors to the gallery will see a variety of pieces that he has created; wood bowls (salad size and smaller),
natural edge bowls from freshly cut logs, serving trays and more recently, band-sawn boxes with custom textures and shapes, as well as a selection of hand-carved wine bottle stoppers. Thinking ahead to the holidays these are all perfect gifts. AODC Gallery is located at 6295 Main St., on the boardwalk in one of Georgetown’s historical buildings between the American River Inn and the fire station. Autumn hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information visit artonthedivide.com or call (530) 333-2787.

bench that is meant to bring students closer together and build friendships. “In this time that is so divisive I thought this would be a teachable moment even for the little guys to embrace that diversity,” Power said. The California map is the biggest mural Power, has ever drawn at approximately 600 square feet. She worked with fourth-grade teachers on what they wanted included on the map and so it has become it its own lesson plan. It illustrates Native American territories and natural wonders like Yosemite, the Mojave Desert and the Klamath Mountains. Cherries and oranges, mostly in the Central Valley, represent the state’s agricultural riches. Power said that she has learned a lot about California. She was a teacher in the El Dorado Union High School District for 27 years and retired at the age of 64. When she was 9, Power was given an oil painting set by her parents. They also put her in an oil painting class. She said she loved it; the intricacies of art grew on her and she has never stopped imagining what she could draw next. That was the only class she had ever taken; the rest she said she learned on her own with a lot of practice. She has designed murals for the city of Placerville and has even customized a bedspread for her daughter. “She couldn’t find one with orchards that she liked so she said ‘Mom, this is what I want for Christmas,’” Power said. Power was born and raised in Texas and became a geophysicist for Arco in Dallas. She worked there for 14 years before she was laid off. Her husband, who was originally from Oakland, wanted to move back to California. “My husband said, ‘You are always teaching me about rocks and science, so why don’t you become a school teacher?’” Power said. Power got her teaching credential and the family moved to El Dorado County, where she mostly taught chemistry but also earth science classes at El Dorado and Oak Ridge high schools. Her art talents crossed over to the classroom. When she was describing a challenging scientific concept to her high school students, she said she would draw it out most of the time. “It really helped to draw scientific concepts,” Power said. “I could draw them and it would help explain to the kids the science.” Now retired, Power said she still loves drawing, especially projects like the one at Pinewood Elementary where she sees kids learning in real time as they look at the murals. Each day over the summer Power made the eightminute drive from her home in Sly Park Hills to Pinewood to work on the project. If she couldn’t sleep, she would drive over to the school and work. Nearly every day, she said, she met parents and students who would talk to her and some would even help. Before Power began, the outside surface of the school had some deteriorating hopscotch areas. She redid that space, creating a large agility area where kids can play hopscotch and run around. “It was so exciting,” Power said when she saw the kids run to play after the art was completed. “Their little faces just lit up. They would go around that agility trail over and over and over again.” One of the hardest parts of the project was ending it. “There are so many more things that I wanted to put on that map of California,” Power said. “But I just said ‘No, I have to quit.’ I think with art you never really feel like you are completely done.”

Got antiques? ‘American Pickers’ filming in California News release Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and their team from “American Pickers” are excited to return to California. They plan to film episodes of the hit series throughout the area in December. With the proliferation of COVID-19 the “American Pickers” crew is taking the pandemic very seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols for safe filming as outlined by the state and the Centers for Disease Control. The team is excited to continue to reach the many collectors in the area to discuss their years of picking. “American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on History. The hit show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Wolfe and Fritz are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. Wolfe and Fritz have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. American Pickers is looking for leads and would love to explore El Dorado County’s hidden treasures. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (855) OLD-RUST. “American Pickers” is produced by Cineflix Productions for History. New episodes air Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on History.

This year more than 80 playwrights made submissions and local judges spent the summer reading the plays with the winners announced this past week. “The Club” written by Pamela Weiler Grayson, tells the story of a formerly successful, middle-aged white playwright who writes a play about a Syrian refugee family’s Thanksgiving, that becomes an absurdist, farcical look at diversity. Through dark comedy, this play digs into the difficult issues of whose stories should be told and who gets to tell them. Steven Simoncic’s “Jason and Elvis” finds a 12-year-old boy and his imaginary friend, who happens to be Elvis, navigating a coming of age moment. “The Mantis Dialogue” written by Marcus McGee delves into what could happen when a man stranded without technology asks a stranger for help … if only he’d seen anyone else out there in the dark before finding this bus stop. The stranger seems harmless, even gives change to passing vagrants. But does that really mean he isn’t a thief or a bi-polar serial killer? “The Mantis Dialogue” explores chance encounters and the enlightenment they can bring. While Valhalla Tahoe wasn’t able to hold the WordWave event with play readings and author Q&As in Boathouse this year due to state’s pandemic guidelines, the board of directors is hoping to showcase them in 2021. One of Valhalla’s most loved community events is the annual Holiday Faire. After a successful partnership with The Heritage Foundation to create a Winter Wanderland at the Tallac Historic Site last year, both organizations were excited about expanding the event this year. Unfortunately, due to the size of the Grand Hall and limits on capacity, Valhalla Tahoe’s board has been forced to cancel the event. “It was a tough decision for the board to cancel the Holiday Faire as we know how much parents and grandparents love to come shop, take pictures with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and listen to the choirs,” Valhalla Tahoe’s Operations Manager Michelle Morton said in a press release. “However, due to the size and age of the building, we could not see a way to safely hold the event in keeping with state guidelines for social distancing. We hope to see everyone at the Faire in 2021. Valhalla Tahoe is thankful for grants and donations that provided some funds to cover operating expenses. Valhalla received a $10,000 grant from the American Century Championship, which will be used to help fund the 2021 Concert Series. Valhalla also received

Valhalla also had to reschedule 2020 concerts for 2021. James Garner will kick off the 2021 season with his tribute to Johnny Cash on June 15. If indoor concerts are still not allowed in 2021, Valhalla will work with the forest service to safely hold socially-distanced events on the Grand Lawn.

96% of 2020 revenue lost or moved to 2021, Valhalla Tahoe has had to reduce operating expenses and go dark until spring.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: December 9, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

General Plan Amendment GPA20-0001, Rezone Z200005, Specific Plan SP20-0001, Tentative Map TM20-0002) Review Period: November 6, 2020 to December 7, 2020 County of El Dorado will be the Lead Agency and will prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Creekside Village Specific Plan (proposed project) located in unincorporated El Dorado County (County). This Notice of Preparation (NOP) initiates the environmental scoping process in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 15082). The purpose of an NOP is to provide sufficient information about the proposed project and its potential environmental effects to allow public agencies, organizations, tribes and interested members of the public the opportunity to provide a meaningful response related to the scope and content of the EIR, including feasible mitigation measures and project alternatives that should be considered in the EIR (CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR 15082[b]). The proposed project and location are briefly described below. PROVIDING COMMENTS: El Dorado County is soliciting written comments from public agencies, organizations, and individuals regarding the scope and content of the environmental document. Because of time limits mandated by State law, comments should be provided no later than 5:00 PM on Monday, December 7, 2020. Please send all comments to: Gina Hamilton, Senior Planner, County of El Dorado Planning Division, 2850 Fairlane Court, Placerville, CA 95667, Email: creeksidevillagesp@edcgov.us Agencies that will need to use the EIR when considering permits or other approvals for the proposed project should provide the name of a contact person, phone number, and email address in their comment. Comments provided by email should include “Creekside Village NOP Comment” in the subject line, and the name and physical address of the commenter in the body of the email. PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located south of Highway 50, west of Latrobe Road and south of Investment Boulevard in the El Dorado Hills area (APN 117-010-012). The project site is bordered on the north by the existing El Dorado Hills Business Park and the John Adams Academy Charter School, to the east by the Blackstone master planned community (Valley View Specific Plan), to the south by undeveloped rural residential and industrial lands, and to the west by undeveloped land in the Carson Creek Specific Plan zoned for research and development. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project applicant proposes to develop a new 926-unit residential community located on an approximately 208-acre site. The project would include 115.9 acres of single-family low-density residential development, 21.0 acres of single-family medium-density residential development, 14.3 acres of parks, 46.3 acres of open space preserves and buffers, and 10.4 acres of roadways. The current zoning and General Plan land use designation for the project site is Research & Development (R&D). The project would require a general plan amendment from R&D to AP Adopted Plan and a rezone from R&D to SP - Creekside Village Specific Plan and establish a Specific Plan for Creekside Village. The Creekside Village Specific Plan includes a single-family low-density residential land use designation that would include singlefamily residential, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and junior ADUs as well as neighborhood and community serving amenities such as parks, community clubhouses, and emergency services facilities. Low-density development would range from 4 to 8 dwelling units per gross acre, with a target dwelling unit count of 676. The single-family medium-density residential land use designation would allow for single-family dwellings, and twoand three-family dwellings as well as parks and public facilities. The draft Tentative Map includes two parcels designated for future development of medium-density residential that would range from 8 to 12
dwelling units per gross acre with a target dwelling unit count of 250. Three parks are proposed: an 8.8-acre village park in the northeast area along Latrobe Road, a 3.3-acre neighborhood park in the south central area of the site, and a third 2.2-acre park located in the southeast corner of the site. The proposed Open Space Preserve designation would protect intermittent drainages, seasonal wetlands, vernal pools, and ponds extending from the west to the northeast part of the project site. An Open Space buffer would be located along the western, northern, and southern borders of the site, as well as along Royal Oaks Drive. The proposed project includes amendments to the El Dorado County General Plan, adoption and implementation of the Creekside Village Specific Plan, and rezoning. In addition, the project may require the County’s approval of a development agreement, financing plan, and subsequent development permits and entitlements including a Development Permit and Tentative Maps. The proposed project also includes a request to annex into the El Dorado Hills Community Services District as part of a separate service district annexation request. The El Dorado Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is the agency with statutory responsibility for such boundary changes and it is expected that the EIR will address LAFCO’s needs for environmental evaluation and disclosure under CEQA. It is anticipated that additional State and federal actions will be required for implementation of the proposed project, including: a Clean Water Act (CWA) 401 Cerftication (Regional Water Quality Control Board – Central Valley Region), a CWA Section 404 permit (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers); an Incidental Take Authorization through a Section 7 Consultation (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serivice and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) 1602 Streambead Alteration Agreement, and a CDFW 2081 Incidental Take Permit. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR 15063, the County is preparing an EIR to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The purpose of the EIR is to provide the public with information on environmental effects that would result from project construction and operation. The County anticipates that the EIR will address the following topic areas: Aesthetics; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources; Energy; Geology and Soils; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Noise; Population and Housing; Public Services and Recreation; Public Utilities; Transportation; and Wildfire. Based on a preliminary analysis, the County has determined that impacts to the following topics would not be significant. Therefore, these topics will not be analyzed further in the EIR: Agricultural Resources and Forestry Resources; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; and Mineral Resources. Full documentation of the factual basis for this determination will be provided in the EIR. Unless specific comments are received during the NOP public comment period that indicates a potential for the project to result in significant impacts, these topics will not be analyzed further in the EIR. SCOPING MEETING: El Dorado County will hold a scoping meeting to receive verbal comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental document and answer general questions regarding the environmental process. Due to COVID-19 social distance requirements, the scoping meeting will be held remotely. The meeting will be on Thursday, November 19, 2020 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.
