Cannabis growers plan to sue county Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County Growers Alliance members say they plan to sue the county and its Board of Supervisors for blocking several commercial cannabis applicants from receiving licenses. Applicant and Shingle Springs resident Lee Tannenbaum said he has been in the application process since late 2019. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has not given approval or denial for Tannenbaum’s application to the Planning Commission, which has seemingly been held up on background checks, according to Tannenbaum. “There have been 10,000 licenses issued in the other legalized counties in this state since the time we passed the law, but El Dorado for some reason can’t seem to issue one,” Tannenbaum said. According to the county’s ordinance code, permits are issued when background checks of all owners are completed with review and recommendation by the Sheriff ’s Office. Tannenbaum’s attorney James Brunello wrote to the Board of Supervisors Oct. 11 to address issues with the application process, which members of the Growers Alliance have also tried to do numerous times to no avail, according to the letter. Tannenbaum said he has had similar luck with Sheriff John D’Agostini. “I have been told in writing that the sheriff will not speak to me, that if I have any questions about policy or the way that they’re running their business that I need to talk to deputy county counsel Breann Moebius, who ultimately backs everything the sheriff says, because of the code that was written, which is now in effect,” Tannenbaum said. Brunello’s letter states that the permitting process ■

Carrying Placerville’s historical name, the Hangtown Village Square sign on Broadway depicts a noose hanging from a tree. Rite Aid corporate executives want their logo removed from the sign.
Rite Aid wants logo removed from Hangtown Village sign Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Controversy continues in Placerville after Rite Aid management had its logo boarded up mid-October where it appears on the sign of the shopping center it anchors — Hangtown Village Square. The shopping center gets its name from the town’s historical name but some say it is offensive as are the hanging tree and noose that are also depicted on the sign. Rite Aid corporate representatives contacted Broadway shopping center owners Steve and Judy Puthuff Oct. 11, requesting their logo be removed, not wanting to be associated with the noose. When the Puthuffs denied
the request due to a contractual obligation to keep the company’s sign up Rite Aid had the sign boarded up the same night, according to the Puthuffs. “Rite Aid, behind our backs without knowing anything about it, covered their sign,” Steve said. “They contacted a company overnight that went in at night, after our security guards (were) gone and covered their logo on our sign.” The boards were removed. Rite Aid management’s actions came after their corporate executives were supposedly contacted by Karen Pyke, a University of California, Riverside, professor, according to a Facebook post thread on the El Dorado Progressives Facebook page.
In the thread Pyke said she wrote to Rite Aid COO Jim Peters and CEO Heyward Donigan, stating her hopes that Rite Aid will “pressure the plaza owner to change the name.” “I trust you can agree that any noose display can provoke a sense of intimidation to members of racial groups, who have in the past and continue to experience racial lynching and racial violence,” Pyke wrote to Rite Aid, according to the social media post. Pyke posted Rite Aid’s response to her, which states that Peters said, “I immediately reached out to my team members who have already activated our field team to gain See RITE AID, page A8

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The recordbreaking storm in late October has helped salmon spawn in Taylor Creek, an event previously threatened due to severe drought conditions. People flock to Taylor Creek each October to watch kokanee salmon fight their way upstream. Several people on Tuesday were taking in the sites of the red-colored fish from a bridge on Highway 89. According to Forest Service Aquatic Biologist Sarah Muskopf, kokanee typically spawn between September and February when there are increased stream flows and cooler

who is a financial interest holder. The wives or spouses of investors would need background checks as well, according to the county. The cannabis operating permits would expire upon any change in ownership. Examples of what could trigger permit expirations include selling stock, receiving a loan from a new private lender, hiring a commissioned sales person, providing an employee a profit sharing agreement or the death of an owner, which all constitute as a change in ownership, according to the county’s background investigation initial and review questionnaire. “They’re super invasive and it’s a violation of U.S. privacy law and state (law),” Tannenbaum said. “That is where the grounds of the lawsuit are.” The Sheriff ’s Office declined to comment on the situation.

sent to supervisors, they will go forward with the lawsuit. “The ballot measures require the sheriff to comment on the criminal background of commercial cannabis applicants. His refusal to do his job effectively blocks cannabis cultivation licenses in the county,” Rod Miller, director of the Growers Alliance, wrote in a news release announcing the lawsuit. County voters in 2018 voted to legalize cannabis and its commercial use. “It has been nearly three years since El Dorado County voters passed five cannabis initiative measures by substantial margins,” Brunello wrote in his letter to the board. “Since then (the Growers Alliance) and its members have worked in good faith to implement the policies bringing legal cannabis to El Dorado County.” Brunello told the Mountain Democrat Nov. 2 that the Growers Alliance plans to file the lawsuit this week.

is “broken,” disregards the will of county voters and exposes the county to potential liability due to privacy violations. “The code was written to prevent people from actually getting through the process and once they did get through the process, there’s some poison pill language in there, which will prevent anybody from holding a cannabis license long term,” Tannenbaum said. In El Dorado County background checks for commercial cannabis activity are required for all owners and investors of the company. “Owners,” according to the county, are defined as any person with ownership interest, shareholders and lenders, not including a bank or financial institution. Owners are also anyone who might share any profits the business makes, which could include employees earning commission, persons who participate in management or control of the business and anyone

The California Highway Patrol and the California Office of Traffic Safety are partnering on a campaign aimed at reducing the number of crashes caused by impaired drivers. The impaired driving reduction education and enforcement campaign, will continue through Sept. 30, 2022. In 2019 impaired driving crashes were responsible for 568 deaths and 11,444 injuries within the CHP’s jurisdiction throughout the state. Each one of these injuries and deaths represents a preventable tragedy and a continued need to focus efforts on reducing impaired driving in California. “This grant will help support the department’s mission by strengthening education and enforcement efforts throughout the state,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “As a public safety organization we will continue to do everything in our power to promote safety for all on California’s roadways.” In 2020 CHP officers made more than 90,000 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The impaired driving reduction grant provides the CHP with funding to conduct additional saturation patrols, checkpoints and traffic safety education efforts throughout California. These efforts are designed to remove impaired drivers from the roadway and educate the public regarding the dangers of DUI. Additionally, the CHP will actively participate in California’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” public awareness campaign. The CHP wants to remind the public, “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Alcohol, cannabis, certain prescription and over-the-counter
medications, illegal drugs or any combination can affect your ability to drive and will result in an arrest if you are under the influence. Always make good decisions and plan ahead by designating a sober driver, take public transportation, or call a taxi or ride-share. There is always a better option than getting behind the wheel while impaired. The public is encouraged to call 911 if they observe a suspected impaired driver. Be prepared to provide the dispatcher a location, direction of travel and vehicle description. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
amazing place to live,” she said, touting the area’s access to outdoor activities she enjoys with her husband Brendan Wilce, manager at El Dorado Nursery in Shingle Springs, and their Australian cattle dogs — Max and Penny. In addition to appreciating the community’s natural beauty, Kellum also said she has really enjoyed meeting the people who call this special place home. “There are so many talented, inspiring people in the county,” she said, “and I love that there’s a real sense of community here.” When she’s not in the newsroom, Kellum loves to hit the county trails and explore. She’s also a volunteer with locally based Performance Rescue. She and Brendan, married since 2016, live in Placerville.

California Commentary
Do progressives support gentrification?
S
upport is growing for the idea that parents can help their families climb the economic ladder by building generational wealth through property ownership. Surprisingly, this support has even been spotted in the opinion pages of the Los Jon Coupal Angeles Times. It’s surprising because the Times has previously taken a highly negative view of families being able to pass along intergenerational wealth in the form of real property. In a lengthy 2018 article about the effect of a voter-approved measure that allowed parents to transfer property to their kids without reassessment and a tax increase, Times reporter Liam Dillon focused almost exclusively on how the measure had benefited some very wealthy families. In particular, he objected to actors Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges renting the Malibu home they inherited from their father, actor Lloyd Bridges. The article complained that “The inheritance tax break ... has allowed hundreds of thousands — including celebrities, politicians and out-ofstate professionals and some of California’s most prominent families — to avoid paying higher taxes.” The article paid scant attention to the vast majority of property owners, ordinary people who inherited the homes their parents worked for 30 years to pay off. The L.A. Times editorial board called for the elimination of the parent-child transfer protection, asserting, “There is no compelling public purpose or societal good in passing tax breaks through generations.” Given its hostility to the constitutional protections that helped to preserve intergenerational wealth, we were surprised that the L.A. Times recently ran an op-ed piece with a very different view from their own columnist, Erika D. Smith. She wrote, “Now, all of a sudden, Black people who grew up poor or working class and managed to buy a modest home in the ’60s and ’70s — and, in some cases, pay it off — are finding that they own property that’s extremely valuable. In many cases, it’s a first for their families, this prospect of passing along real wealth to the next generation. After all, it’s one thing to inherit a house worth $350,000 that needs $100,000 worth of work. It’s quite another to inherit the same house, but it’s now valued at $1 million. There are only a few cities in the country where that’s even possible for Black people.” Unfortunately, the children inheriting those million-dollar homes will receive a new tax bill along with the sympathy cards. The Times got its wish last November when Proposition 19 was narrowly approved, following an ad campaign that sold it as helping wildfire victims, disabled people and seniors. Many voters didn’t realize that Prop. 19 also repealed the parent-child transfer exclusion from reassessment that had been in the state constitution since 1986. Now, with only a few exceptions, property is reassessed to current market value when inherited. That’s why the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has put forward a ballot initiative, the Repeal the Death Tax Act, that would once again n

Letters to the Editor 51% voted for this EDITOR: have heard many people complain about the present administration and its bungling of its duties to provide leadership to the American people. Now their complaints fall on deaf ears because 51% of you voted for these failures. Yes, you voted for the disaster in Afghanistan. Yes, you voted for the Afghanistan women to be confined and tortured by the Taliban. Yes, you voted to open the southern border and allow a million or more aliens to enter the U.S. illegally. Yes, you voted to have the coyotes from Mexico rape, pillage and kill those who would try to gain access to the U.S. illegally. Yes, you voted for Hunter Biden to paint pictures and sell them to unidentified purchasers. Yes, you voted for empty shelves in our markets and delay deliveries of our online purchases. Yes, you voted to stop the XL Pipeline and cause gas prices to inflate by 25%. Yes, you voted to help Russia finish its pipeline to Germany to help the Russian economy. Yes, you voted for France to remove its ambassador from the U.S. and you voted for Iran to have nuclear weapons. Yes, you voted for the head of the administration to avoid any type of two-way communication with the American people, including “lawn talk” out by the Marine One helicopter. Yes, you voted to educate 6-year-old children in woke sexual practices yet your school administrators won’t allow the reading of those books in their public forums. You voted to deny that natural immunity exists in those who have had COVID. You voted for national mandates to close down our restaurants and personal needs providers. Folks, when you vote for “Anything but Trump” this is what “anything” looks like. Can you imagine the families who sons and daughters died or were maimed in Afghanistan just to see it all fall apart? Just remember, this is not the fault of the administration because you knew these were their policies in advance and you voted for this. STEPHEN FERRY El Dorado Hills

A bridge too far EDITOR: s a father who coached and had numerous children play sports I witnessed many kids with fantastic abilities who wound up dropping out due to lack of support at home. I also saw, to my shock and amusement, many parents go crazy during a sporting events cheering on their child as if they were the next superstar athlete.
A
I would much rather have the ladder parent because at least they support their child. Which brings me to our Attorney General Garland, saying he is treating parents at school board events as domestic terrorist. A school board by its very design is a place where parents can go to discuss the issues of the day with an elected official who is the bridge between the teachers and the general public. If you disagree with whatever issue is going on at your school, the board is where you go to give your concerns. And the AG categorizes concerned parents in the same realm as the OKC bombers or Antifa? We have all known to be cautious around Tiger, Grizzly and Soccer moms when it comes to their children. But for the AG to classify them as terrorist is a huge leap in judgement and reality. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
Gas lawn engine ban and water shortage by lack of leadership EDITOR: compliment the Opinion editors on publishing both articles at the same time because they are linked through the governor’s and the Legislature’s ultimate goals. While some readers may applaud the decision to ban mowers and blowers, the true impacts will be wide-ranging to El Dorado County rural residents who want to maintain their homes and properties efficiently and effectively. Consider that the same ban also will eliminate gas engine water pumps for livestock tanks and irrigation, post-hole diggers for fence posts and planting trees, weed and brush cutting equipment for fire safety, or even driveway repair equipment with compactors and cutters. ‘’ So why does the perpetual drought declaration matter? It simply helps rationalize the need to remove landscaping, restrict livestock and equestrian activities because they will become too difficult and ultimately require property owners to hire expensive, state-licensed fire-safety/land clearing services instead of using inadequate, battery powered equipment. Once water is restricted and licensed for various “authorized” uses, there will inevitably be limits on recreational vineyards, equestrian areas, small orchards and livestock. Finally, the water restrictions will be coupled with “run-off ” monitoring to enforce state mandated and ever increasing restrictions of water quality impact. The few remaining activities you

A closer look at the ‘largest airlift in U.S. history’
“L
argest airlift in U.S. history” — That quote in the headline is how President Joe Biden on Aug. 26 described the evacuation from the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan. There were 170 flights, Michael 128 of them U.S. planes, primarily the C-17 Globemaster. Aug. 14-25. They carried more than 122,000 passengers. The Globemaster has seating for 188 and can carry 823 without seating. There were also commandeered civilian passenger planes. So, was it really “the largest airlift in U.S. history?” What about the Berlin Airlift run by Gen. Curtis LeMay with the approval of President Harry Truman? With Berlin in the center of Sovietcontrolled East Berlin, the Russians cut off autobahn and rail service to
West Berlin. That’s when the U.S. and Allies began airlifting supplies to West Berlin. The Berlin Airlift began June 26, 1948, and lasted 14 months until Aug. 27, 1949. During that time there were 277,800 flights by 300 aircraft from the U.S. and Great Raffety Britain. Pilots were from Australia, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand, as well American and British. There were 39 British, 31 Americans and 13 German civilians who lost their lives in the airlift. They carried 2.34 million tons of coal, fuel, food and other vital supplies for 2.2 million inhabitants. By April 16, 1949, there was an aircraft landing every minute. The unsung heroes had to be the control tower and radar operators, especially when one thinks about the kind of weather pilots faced in Germany.

The unsung heroes had to be the control tower and radar operators, especially when one thinks about the kind of weather pilots faced in Germany. German ground crews could unload a 4-engine C-54 cargo plane in 20-30 minutes. There were three airports: Templehoff, Gatow on the Havel River in the British Sector and Tegel, built by Army engineers in 49 days in the French Sector. Planes leaving Berlin carried 108,000 people and 83,405 tons of cargo. Berliners today don’t know about this lifesaving airlift. They are surprised if they happen to visit the airlift museum located in the former U.S. base theater, the Outpost. A permanent collection, including C-54 aircraft, is now on display in a hangar at Templehoff Airfield. Templehoff was originally a grass parade ground that the U.S. concreted for aircraft. It as been returned to grass and is a now big park.
And compare the Afghanistan airlift to Dunkirk, where 338,226 Allied troops, mainly British, were evacuated in 10 days, from May 26 to June 4, 1940. They were rescued aboard 800 vessels, some naval and some civilian volunteers. A total of 226 ships were sunk. For every seven who escaped one was left as a prisoner of war, with 68,000 soldiers lost during the French campaign. Left behind were nearly all their tanks, vehicles and equipment. “We must not assign to this deliverance the attributes of victory. Wars are not won by evacuations,” said Winston Churchill after what has been called “Miracle of Dunkirk.” Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1946 he was adopted by Maj. Charles and Lois Raffety in 1948.

Ponderosa tennis player Anne Wittrock won the Foothill Valley League Girls Tennis Championship in dramatic fashion over Placer’s Michelle Schwarzenberg in a backand-forth match. The win helped qualify Wittrock, a junior, for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II Individual Tournament Thursday at Johnson Ranch in Roseville, where she won her first match over Rain Kim of Mira Loma 6-1, 6-3, before dropping her quarterfinal match to the second overall seed Libby Griggs of Rio Americano. Longtime Ponderosa head coach Don Eddy said he hasn’t seen many of his players make it to the section quarterfinals since he set foot on campus.
The league final against Schwarzenberg Oct. 26 came down to the third set where the pair were tied 3-3. Wittrock saw her 3-0 lead evaporate and then changed up her game plan, according to Eddy. She began hitting shots from sideto-side, forcing Schwarzenberg to commit errors, and won the next two sets for a 5-3 lead. With a chance to take the league Wittrock fell behind 30-40. With her back against the wall, the Bruin won the final two points to win the set, the match 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 and the league championship. “Both girls hit extremely hard and accurate shots, which made for a very fun match to watch,” Eddy said. “Their rallies usually consisted of 15-20 shots for one of the girls to win a point and Anne also won the FVL’s MVP as a result of her win.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is too early to put your project out into the world. Work in private. Steer clear of the seduction of “likes” and ratings. Don’t let outside opinions intrude on your self-concept. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have many friends who do not share your interests. A diverse group has more to teach you than a homogenous one, yet it will amplify your vitality to find people who like what you like. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A second opinion can be helpful at times, but right now, you don’t need someone looking over your shoulder and rating your performance. Stay away from those who judge and correct. This is something best figured out on your own. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Beauty impresses you. You’ll find it today in the qualities of honest people. Instances of honor and loyalty may just take your breath away. Goodness is all around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is possible to be happy while trying to make others happy, but it can also be a rather complicated and roundabout route. You’ll bring more joy to all by pursuing your original aims and letting the rest fall into place naturally. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s easy to love cheerful, helpful, attractive, agreeable and interesting
people. The karma points come from loving the difficult and unpleasant who show no signs of loving you back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just as one person’s trash is another’s treasure, someone’s worst nightmare is just the challenge you live for. Stay solid in your preferences and let no one’s opinion taint your utter enjoyment of them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Thinking too far ahead can have a paralyzing effect. Instead, walk in faith. You’re going in the right direction, so you don’t need to worry about too much else for now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can be hard on yourself. You can’t see what you could be giving yourself credit for. For instance, you’re willing to try new things. You have no idea how many people are afraid to take the chances you take regularly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many ways to speak love, but none of them are quite as effective as simply showing up to the daily actions with something slightly more than was expected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you’re doing feels like it’s in the right ballpark, but perhaps you’d be better suited to another position on the team. Investigate to find out what else may be available to you.

The east end of it will take you uphill from Placerville on a paved multi-use trail that traverses great country views all the way. Road bikes will want to stop when the paved section ends. Mountain bikes can continue up to the fence that borders Highway 50. The west end is more gentle and now runs all the way down to and a bit past El Dorado.

the salmon to enter Taylor Creek. “The large rain event increased flows in all tributaries around Lake Tahoe significantly,” Muskopf said. “Flows in Taylor Creek went from about 8 cubic feet per second to 400 cfs. Flows are dropping but this event opened the mouth of Taylor Creek and ensured spawning fish could get upstream.” The future of the kokanee wasn’t necessarily at risk because of Taylor Creek’s low flow last month as the fish look for other tributaries. “Because kokanee are stimulated by numerous factors to spawn, they would have either spawned in other tributaries that could meet their life history needs or waited for a large precipitation event and spawned later in the season (now through February),” Muskopf said. While this spawning event is good news for people who enjoy watching the fish move upstream, Muskopf believes this tells a bigger story about the alarming lack of water the basin has received in past years.
“As an aquatic biologist, I think the precipitation is more significant than the run. We are in a severe drought which is significantly and negatively affecting habitat for native aquatic species among other things,” Muskopf said. “Stream temperatures are reaching levels deadly for many of our native species by late July/ early August but optimal for warm water invasive species. This trend is alarming.” All 62 tributaries draining into Lake Tahoe and the one draining out (Truckee) experienced drought. They experienced very low flows, many went intermittently dry in some locations and saw elevated water temperatures. Muskopf added, “The majority of our native species are spring spawners where water temperatures and stream flows are not as much a concern currently, however, these very low flow conditions and elevated water temperatures for stream dwelling species negatively impacts reproductive success.”

insight and take appropriate action. Rest assured we have absolutely no tolerance for symbols of hatred of any kind.” Pyke declined the Mountain Democrat’s request for comment. The Puthuffs said they were unaware anyone was going to contact Rite Aid executives. “They didn’t come to us and say, ‘You know, shouldn’t you take that sign down?’” Steve said. “They instead contacted our major tenants, went after them and said, ‘Get them to take your name off the sign,’ and Rite Aid is a major corporation and they look at these things.” Pyke also contacted Starbucks corporate officials, according to the Facebook post, who told Pyke they would contact the Puthuffs to “discuss suitable options.” Depictions of the noose in Placerville have long been divisive. Placerville’s City Council voted in April to unanimously to remove the noose from the city’s logo and city property but also affirmed Old Hangtown as a historical name.

Corporate officials at Starbucks are also reportedly concerned by the noose on the monument sign and Hangtown Village Square name. The Puthuffs, born and raised in Placerville, say they want to see the town’s history preserved. “Right or wrong, it is the heritage of the place,” Judy said. “You know, we are a Gold Rush town. We can’t deny our history and the noose represented a justice
back then in those days.” Judy’s family is a pioneer one, coming in wagons in the 1850s to settle in the area. Rite Aid vice president of corporate communications Jeffrey Olson wrote to the Mountain Democrat, stating that the company is “hopeful that the landlord will comply with our direction to remove our logo and name from the monument sign.” “While we understand the historical nature of old west ‘Hangtown,’ the noose symbol is divisive and widely considered a hate symbol that evokes violence, death and mob justice,” Olson continues in the email. The Puthuffs do not plan to take legal action but Steve said he was concerned when City Council voted to remove the noose that Hangtown Village Square would be the next target. “Everyone said ‘No, no, no, that’s not going to happen,’” Steve said. “Sure enough, they are coming after us and that is why we will take strong action if we have to.” “We can’t rewrite history,” Judy said. ”You can take the symbols away but the history is still there.”

There is no cost to participate in the clinics and no-pre-registration required. The clinics are limited to El Dorado County residents and services will be offered on a first-come, firstserved basis. Due to COVID-19, the clinics will be held outdoors with social distance and other COVID safety precautions. All dogs must be secured on a leash by the owner and all cats must be secured inside a carrier by the owner. According to White, volunteer veterinarians and vet technicians, including those from the University
of California, Davis, Veterinary Emergency Response Team, as well as many other volunteers are assisting to make the clinics a success. The Petco Love Foundation is generously supporting the events by donating some of the vaccines. The El Dorado County Humane Society is a key partner in these special clinics. “Free vaccine and microchip clinics have been a longtime goal for our organization,” said Kim Parsons, director of Public Relations, El Dorado County Humane Society. “The
importance of providing rabies, DAPP and HCP vaccines is a true public health service. Plus, every pet benefits from having a microchip to ensure they always find their way home.” Julie Mack, vice president of the El Dorado County Humane Society added, “The Caldor Fire revealed a tremendous need for pet dogs and cats in our county. Evacuation sites from El Dorado Hills to Placerville were filled with anxious pet owners realizing that their animals were not up-todate on critical vaccines and most not microchipped. So we reached out to
Premier Business Directory
El Dorado County Animal Services to co-host these clinics. Indeed, this is an amazing community partnership.” “Because of COVID-19 we have not been able to have any vaccine clinics for some time,” said White. “We are looking forward to these events which will benefit the community as a whole but most importantly the animals.” For questions regarding the vaccine and microchip clinics call El Dorado County Animal Services at (530) 6215795.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

hristmas is not far off and the United States has service personnel from El Dorado County deployed all over the world. Christmas is a good time to remind those serving of the love and appreciation from home by sending a real Christmas tree with decorations. The Christmas elves at Indian Rock Tree Farm in Camino make
the tree delivery possible. “We send to wherever they are deployed so we need to get the names from the community,” said Geri Hyder, Indian Rock Tree Farm proprietor. Along with the trees, cards and letters of love and appreciation from the community are sent. “We receive thanks from so many who receive the trees,” Hyder said. Names and addresses are
needed as soon as possible. For more information or to give a name contact indianrock@ directcon.net or call (530) 6224087. Donations to help with the shipping are also appreciated. Checks should be made out to “Indian Rock Trees for Troops.” Geri is continuing the tradition of sending Christmas trees to El Dorado County service personnel started by her late husband Larry Hyder and the late Carl Borelli.

the event that we spent months planning,” said Grace Brasil, Operations and Finance youth lead. “It’s one of the most rewarding feelings to think about how many people we can help now using the funds we raised at this event.” “It was amazing to see all of this hard work that we put into this project come together and seeing all of the new and old activities come together after a year of not having the event. And to see everyone having a good time enjoying the event, “noted Ian Hunt, youth lead for the Games and Activities Committee.

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 (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100286904 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: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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 http:// search.nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100286904 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.
