Incumbents likely ousted at GDPUD Dawn Hodson Staff writer With 74.4% percent of the vote in as of Nov. 5, two newcomers to the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District Board of Directors Mike Thornbrough appear to have won seats. Coming in with the most votes to date is Mike Thornbrough with 3,398 votes. In second place is Mitch MacDonald, garnering 2,936 votes. In third Mitch MacDonald place with 1,697 votes is incumbent Dane Wadle and incumbent David Halpin had 1,618 votes. Contacted by the Mountain Democrat for a comment on the election outcome, Wadle sent his congratulations to Thornbrough and MacDonald for their “impressive victory,” wishing them all the best. He also thanked GDPUD customers for the opportunity to serve as their representative for the past four years. Wadle said he believed the rate increase figured into the election outcome and that he could have spent more time explaining to the community the reasons behind votes by the board and how those decisions were good for the community. But despite the challenges and criticism sometimes leveled at the board, Wadle said he enjoyed the opportunity to serve because he thinks the board did a lot of good things during his term. MacDonald said he anticipated that he and Thornbrough would win “if the facts got out there” and because of their involvement in the community. MacDonald, a former member of the finance committee and Auburn Lake Trails resident, said there were four straws that broke the camel’s back, including who the board appointed to the finance committee, the removal of two members of the finance committee, suspending the finance committee from meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic and finally disbanding the finance committee altogether in June. He said he thinks the community didn’t like the n

Assistant Registrar of Voters Linda Webster keeps a close tab on votes remaining to be processed by Elections Department staff and volunteers Thursday morning.
The count goes on Thomas Frey Staff writer Elections Department staff and volunteers are working tirelessly to tabulate all ballots submitted by El Dorado County voters. Going through each ballot takes several steps and the team at the elections office is keeping busy processing ballots, ciphering out ballots from other counties, making sure the signature on the envelope matches the signature on the ballot and manually inputting ballots when necessary. On election night there were about 30 volunteers doing those jobs and about 15 extra-help employees hired just for the election. Many are also helping outside the elections office. At exactly 8 p.m. on Election Day pairs of two were at each of the drop-box locations in El Dorado County where they picked up ballots to take back to the elections office. The team is also aided by machines that make processing ballots much faster. “This is the smoothest (election night) here that I have been through,” said Assistant Registrar of Voters Linda Webster. The machines, which can go through as many 20,000 ballots an hour, cost about $850,000 — all of which came from grants the elections office received. But good old customer service can’t be matched by machines. Ted Castle, a precinct specialist, would drive out to homes of people who were unable to deliver their ballot to a drop box. He did that on his own time, according to Registrar of Voters Bill O’Neill. Castle’s tasks when he isn’t helping the community is to make sure more than 200,000 resident have the correct measures and candidates on their ballots based
on where they reside. Currently more than 105,000 ballots (out of 135,201 registered voters) have been counted which top the 98,000 ballots that were counted in 2016. The El Dorado County Elections Department plans toerelease updated ballot counts every weekday at 5 p.m. until every ballot has been counted.

Organizations unite in homeless camp cleanup Kevin Christensen Staff writer Organizers and volunteers with the Lighted Candle and newly formed nonprofit Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition, along with city of Placerville staff, spent Election Day assisting people living at a homeless encampment on Upper Broadway in Placerville. With the help of camp occupants trash was bagged up and hauled off with the city of Placerville providing garbage trucks and police officers directing traffic. “Today’s cleanup was not intended to be on Election Day but the coordination with the city just worked out (for) today,” said Lighted Candle founder Pete Brown. “Election day is about fulfilling our civic duties by voting and I believe today’s cleanup reflected that as well because it’s our civic duty to help our community and respect everyone.” Brown explained the day’s massive cleanup effort, which he described as
a “hazmat situation,” was a result of a larger problem between the homeless population in Placerville and what he sees as a lack of assistance. The Lighted Candle has actually been coordinating dump runs at homeless encampments every other Tuesday, throughout the year. “We had a large presence at a city council meeting around January and we made a presentation imploring the city to come up with approximately $150 every two weeks for dump fees and we would continue to provide free labor, vehicles and gasoline,” said Brown. “The city and El Dorado Disposal delayed a couple of months before giving us what I feel was a rather token showing of support, with very limited vouchers good for only two-and-a-half cubic yards of trash, or less than one-third of what we would normally encounter bi-weekly before the meeting.” Representatives with Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition’s also joined in n

board disbanding the finance committee and that’s the reason why they voted the way they did. Thornbrough, who placed first in the vote count as of Thursday evening’s ballot count update from the El Dorado County Elections Department, said he thinks there were a number of contributing factors for the way people voted, citing mistrust toward the board as the primary reason. Behind that distrust was the board abandoning its main job of overseeing finances of the district, according to Thornbrough, a 31-year resident of Georgetown. He maintained the board allowed the prior general manager to provide all the information used in the most recent rate study, information which he said included errors that affected the outcome of the study. But in January of this year the Superior Court of El Dorado County ruled the district’s new water rates were supported by substantial evidence and the district had complied with Proposition 218.
Another issue brought up by Thornbrough was disbanding the finance committee without putting the item on the board’s agenda, which he said violates the Brown Act. “The bottom line is we can’t believe what they’re telling us,” he said. David Halpin is another incumbent apparently being replaced. Halpin told the Mountain Democrat Friday he was “delighted to participate in making (GDPUD) more financially stable and to get a new water plant. In general I’m delighted with the accomplishments we made.” “Because of the rate increase problem it’s not surprising to me all four members that voted for the rate increase suffered the same fate. But I don’t think it was a terrible thing because we were able to accomplish a hard task ... and changing the guard to do something else is OK with me.” Board president Lon Uso and Director Jesse Hanschild were voted out in 2018.

Nothing says Christmas like a fresh-cut conifer and what better way to start the holiday season than a family outing in the Eldorado National Forest where you can cut your own tree at a bargain price. Beginning Nov. 16 the Eldorado National Forest will once again be selling Christmas tree permits only this time they will be sold exclusively online through Recreation.gov instead of in person. The cost of each permit is $10 per tree with a $2.50 service charge for using the online
permit system. Each household may purchase up to two tree permits with a credit or debit card. The $10 permit fee will be waived for any fourth-grade student who has an Every Kid Outdoors voucher. “For many families going out into the forest to find a tree for the holidays is a treasured tradition that has been carried on for generations,” said Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. “For others this is an opportunity to start a new tradition and discover the joy of bringing a tree home from your national forest and creating special memories.” The Forest Service decided to offer permit sales on Recreation.

Commission denies appeal on cannabis store location Thomas Frey Staff writer A proposed recreational cannabis business might have crossed the final hurdle to opening after an appeal due to the dispensaries’ proximity to a school and church was denied. The Placerville Planning Commission on Sept. 15 granted a variance to allow the business, which would be known as Sacred Roots, to operate 186-feet away from Sierra Elementary School and 190-feet away from the Federated Church, a distance that goes against a city ordinance. One Placerville pot shop applicant who wasn’t among the three chosen to be the first permitted to sell adultuse cannabis in the city was opposed to that decision. Max Del Real of Ammericann Development LLC. on behalf of TREZ Placerville paid $400 to file an appeal against the variance. “In my 12 years as a leading cannabis consultant, I have never seen, anywhere in California, a city or municipality that allows a distance of 250 feet between a cannabis retail business, and a k-12 school,” Del Real said. But the school and church are up
a hill and out of vision of children who may be looking down from the school, toward 651 Main St. where the business is proposed. During September’s commission meeting city Director of Development Services Pierre Rivas said city staff, in recommending approval of the requested variance, studied not only the topography and foliage involved, but calculated the walking distance from the cannabis store to Sierra School — 2,027 feet, he said. Federated Church, they learned, is 1,562 feet walking distance. Del Real’s appeal fell on deaf ears at the Oct. 27 City Council meeting. Development Services Director Pierre Rivas explained the variance was allowed because it is a unique situation. “You could see where it’s very reasonable to grant the variance because these are exceptional circumstances in terms of the physical separation between the proposed cannabis location and the sensitive uses, the church and the school,” Rivas said. After a brief discussion, the appeal went to a vote where it was denied unanimously.
Bump in COVID-19 cases to pull El Dorado County back? Cheyanne Neuffer Tahoe Daily Tribune As predicted by health officials, fall has led to an increase in COVID-19 cases around the nation, including El Dorado County. While the county is still in the orange tier of the state’s COVID-19 monitoring system, a move into the less restrictive yellow tier could have come last week, but it didn’t. With a recent surge in cases the county is more in danger of sliding backward. The county has remained around a 2% positivity rate but that percentage was up to 2.5% Thursday. “We expect that the next announcement of tiers will keep us in the orange tier, however, our case per 100,000 has us approaching the red tier (3.9/100,000 is the top of the orange tier) and that is the only metric where
we are on the edge,” said Carla Hass, county director of communications and outreach in an email. As the seasons change health officials say the risk of spreading COVID-19 is growing due to more people being indoors together. “With the cooler weather preventing people from doing things outside as we’ve been able to do with the warmer temperatures, people will likely gather inside more frequently,” Hass said. “The virus doesn’t disperse as easily and quickly outdoors as it does indoors, so with that in mind, and the ‘holiday season’ which started with Halloween, we won’t be surprised to see an increase in cases. That said, people can still do things safely indoors if they take the precautions of masking, staying at least six feet from others and refraining from getting together with a lot of people outside their household.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is no time to waste in wondering what the other person means. Talk about what you’ve already learned, and see if you can get some guidance. Ask questions, and if you still don’t understand, ask different ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Without the diversion of novelty and fun, you run the risk of contracting a bad case of seriousness. Don’t wait for a reason to find the humor in things. Laughter is a balm. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can play it cool if you wish, but a corny, old-timey music number does tend to play inside your heart every time you think of a certain someone, an indication that this may be a connection for the ages. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have already made a solid case with the facts, and there’s nowhere left to go with that. If it still didn’t sway the other person, move to the very influential realm of story and feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a decision to make and something important hanging in the balance. You’re starting to get the feeling that once you make up your mind about this, you probably won’t unmake it. All the more reason to take your time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In the past, you’ve run ideas by certain people looking for guidance or approval. Now you realize that your need and focus have changed. Seek new mentors for new directions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Showing up strong always works best when you actually have all that it takes to do so. When you’re not quite sure where the relationship should go next, forget about strength. Show up curious and ready to listen and learn. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Tell your side of the story. A lot of people have gone before you already, but that doesn’t make your point of view any less important. Contribute. You never know who needs to hear you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You never really operate alone. You will sense the influence and perhaps the presence of someone while you are engaged in an activity you associate with that person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people’s patience is very easily challenged, especially those who are thinking in shorter and more closed terms, or who have extremely strong self-interest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t be sure what to say, but you’ll be sure that you’re supposed to connect and say something. Relax and start the conversation. Once you get over the initial icebreaker, it all flows naturally. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re in a role, so play it. Don’t worry how well it really suits you. That takes away from the show. This is no time for pondering. Commit. It’s short term. Later, you can look back and know you gave it your all.

California Matters
Why the left wing wants to cancel Dianne Feinstein
D
ianne Feinstein has been a fixture of California politics for 60 years, beginning with an appointment to the state’s then-separate parole board for women. To put that in context, her political career began seven years before Gov. Dan Walters Gavin Newsom was born. From the parole board, Feinstein moved to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, to two unsuccessful runs for mayor, to acting mayor when Mayor George Moscone was assassinated in 1978, to two mayoral terms on her own, to an unsuccessful bid for governor in 1990 and finally to her election to the U.S. Senate in 1992. Feinstein, now 87, has never tried to be anything other than what she is — a somewhat centrist and pragmatic political figure more interested in policy outcomes than scoring rhetorical points. Feinstein’s pragmatism has never set well with the left wing of her party. However, in the Senate, her centrist demeanor paid off for California, even when Republicans controlled the house. She took care of the state’s workaday interests in Washington while the state’s other Democratic senators — Barbara Boxer and later Kamala Harris — were best known for speechifying about whatever was trendy at the moment. In the age of Trump, Feinstein has become steadily more alienated from her party’s ascendant left wing. Feinstein probably would have retired two years ago but her fellow Democratic senators prevailed on her to seek another six-year term, fearing that a titanic battle for her seat would consume huge amounts of money needed for campaigns elsewhere. Nevertheless, Democratic state Sen. Kevin de León challenged her re-election in 2018 and obtained the official backing of the state Democratic Party. Feinstein prevailed, but the narrowness of her win underscored her weakening status. Feinstein isn’t on the ballot this year but the left-wing cancel culture is out to get her. An effort is being mounted in San Francisco to remove her name from a public school and in the Senate, she’s taking heat for not being more aggressive in opposing Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Feinstein, the committee’s senior Democrat, praised Republican chairman Lindsey Graham’s handling of the Barrett hearings and even gave him a post-hearing hug. Immediately, leftist activists demanded that Feinstein be stripped of her Judiciary seat and the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, refused to publicly back her. “I’ve had a long and serious talk with Sen. Feinstein,” Schumer told reporters when asked if he was looking to make changes atop the powerful n

Letters to the Editor Many points of view EDITOR: his is response to Ms./Mrs. Dion-Perry’s letter dated Sept. 23 on “Coverage on local news.” I have been a subscriber to the Mountain Democrat as well as the Sacramento Bee since 1995. I am happy to see we have citizens that are concerned with balanced coverage — of our news, you are right in your desire to see this. I am with you. However, at the end of your article you negated your desire for balanced news by wanting the Mountain Democrat to not print two writers articles because you thought it was “fake” news. FYI these days most news companies if they don’t have inaccuracies in them they have writers that will write news via their own perspective instead of sticking to the facts. I would be willing to guess most of the news you choose to watch has much “fake news” in it. This is America, the last truly free country on the planet, that has a wonderful Constitution to ensure this. Let’s not forget our First Amendment, the right for free speech and expression. To cancel out writers because we think it’s false or we don’t agree with them is contrary to the spirit of the constitution and thus the idea of having a free America where all of our voices can be heard without repercussions. I applaud the Mountain Democrat for its ability since 1995 (at least) in including all peoples point of view and letting readers make up their own minds. TOM PESKO Diamond Springs

Water

EDITOR: rian Veerkamp wrote a good article on mitigating wildfires and quickly went into the issue of water. He’s right on the need for good forest management as the three main ingredients for fire are fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition. Unfortunately forests have not been really managed for decades. Frivolous lawsuits by so called environmentalists combined with bad science like the spotted owl hoax have decimated forest management allowing a catastrophic build up of fuel.
Most of Brian’s article is focused on water and there could not be a more important subject. They don’t call water the most important chemical for nothing. He talks of the very real need for careful management of our water supply and exhibits an impressive depth of knowledge of the subject. But the bull in this china shop that doesn’t get mentioned is development. We are told on one hand that we need to conserve and carefully manage our water supply so as not get into a situation where we don’t have enough to get through draughts, fight fires and maintain a healthy ecosystem. But on the other hand we see residential construction at a breakneck pace. They are building like there is no tomorrow. If we need, as Brian says, to carefully manage our water to meet the demands we have now how are we going to continue to meet those demands with the explosive growth we see all around us? GEORGE ALGER Placerville
What Democrats really believe? EDITOR: was infuriated after reading Larry Weitzman’s take on the beliefs of the Democratic party. The COVID-19 pandemic was compared to the impact of alcohol, specifically the death rate, with little regard to the fact that consuming alcohol is a choice and contracting a highly contagious disease is not. The article went on to state that the Democratic Party wished to reform our justice system to “make certain crimes excusable or justifiable.” In reality, the party’s website elaborates that the main purpose in reforming the justice system is to rid our society of “police brutality,” as “it is unacceptable that millions of people in our country have good reason to fear they may lose their lives” (democrats.org). It is clear that our county is uneducated on the opposing party’s beliefs. We need to do a better job as a society of understanding all perspectives. Our country is in a very polarizing state with this election. Whether we like it or not, half the population will be at the liberty of a president they did not vote for. It’s our duty as citizens to educate ourselves. ALISON ROSS-MEDINA Placerville

Project fortifying EID’s flumes and one short tunnel
T
wo El Dorado Irrigation District projects are under way to ensure delivery of one-third of our water supply. The biggest project is reconstruction of rickety Flumes 38-40 by contractor KW Emerson. Michael This is the same contractor who won the bid to replace Flume 44, an equally rickety wooden flume that took two seasons to replace with steelreinforced concrete u-channel. That project was 473 feet long, but total improvements were 2,300 feet. This year reconstruction is going to be completed in one season, though it may be extended to January, according to Cary Mutchler, civil engineer overseeing the project. It is ambitious. The two flumes add up to 720 feet. Mutchler said Emerson has achieved efficiencies after being the successful bidder on last year’s Flume 44 project. Preparation included aggregate base surface improvements to Camp X
Road. At the project site that road was widened enough for big trucks to make the turn and a section of road was graded down 5 feet below the original road. Retaining walls and subsurface drainage lines, plus scaling uphill from the flumes, add up to making this an $11 Raffety million project. Part of that total is staff time, including an EID inspector and a representative from an engineering firm. Total feet of improvements are 3,050 feet. Also included in this project is a crossing over the exit from the Plum Creek siphon and a canal crossing at Road 71. Already in place is a concrete box that will be an emergency overflow. When touring the project on Nov. 2 one could see a freshly added concrete hump on the box culvert. That will serve as the base for the retaining wall that will be built over the box chute. Eventually the emergency overflow chute will be extended up into a ravine

and will be under the canal channel. The emergency overflow will actually be on the uphill side of the canal and will spill 12 feet down into the concrete chute. That’s pretty clever engineering. Planning for these projects begins five to seven years ahead of time. One of the key elements to strategize ahead of time is where to get good dirt that will properly compact, where to save that dirt and how much will be needed for each flume replacement project. It takes a lot of dirt to fill in and provide a base for both a new concrete u-channel as well as a road alongside it filled in against a high retaining wall. Another project is under way during the fall period when water is shut down from entering the 22 miles of canals, tunnels and flumes. The final tunnel that sends water from the canal into Forebay Reservoir is the 300-foot-long Pacific Tunnel. This tunnel was only lined with board along the sides. These were coming apart. For about $3 million Syblon-Reid is rehabbing this tunnel permanently with heavy rebar in the floor to support a concrete floor. Rebar
driven into the sides and ceiling will serve as the base for shotcrete. When completed the tunnel will have a grade of three-tenths of a foot, enough to sweep out any rocks. Any logs that get in there during the winter the hydro crews will saw off with electric chainsaws to avoid smokey exhaust in a tunnel. As with any capital project there is capitalized labor included in the cost, which means engineering, environmental studies and inspection. Next year during the fall shut-off will be the replacement of Flume 30 next to the exit from the Bull to Mill Creek tunnel. Building an access road will be the key element. Changing the wooden flume to a concrete u-channel or precast concrete flumes won’t require as much dirt because there won’t be a wide road alongside. In the future is another big project of replacing flumes 4, 5 and 6 in one project. Fortifying the entire 22-mile-long El Dorado Canal to last 100 years is getting closer to reality. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

to print permits at home before heading out on a holiday tree cutting adventure. The trees that can be cut with a permit are a maximum of 6 inches at the base and must be pine, fir or cedar trees. Hardwood such as aspen or oak trees should not be cut. In addition to providing holiday cheer, cutting smaller trees improves forest health. Removing small-diameter trees in designated areas helps other trees grow larger and new growth in open areas can provide forage for wildlife.

the effort. The organization’s mission is to provide community-based harm reduction services aimed at improving the quality of life for the drug using community by reducing the consequences of drug use. It provides drug and disease minimization services free of charge, according to the organization’s website. “Unhoused people are part of our community,” said David Jay, executive director of the Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition. “We should be assisting people with basic needs like safety, health and more when we can.” Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition is not necessarily focused on homelessness, explained Jay. “We focus on drug addiction and that often leads to people being marginalized and becoming unhoused,” Jay said. Brown and Jay said approximately half of the volunteers helping in Tuesday’s cleanup were residents of the camp. Angeleque Orosco was one of those volunteers. She said she’s been living at the Upper Broadway encampment for close to five years. “We are not here to hurt anyone and I don’t feel like you can eradicate homelessness anywhere,” said Orosco. “I left an abusive relationship and my life spiraled and like me many people find themselves here because of circumstances beyond their control.” Orosco thinks the solution is not just putting people like her in drug treatment centers periodically and then back out on the streets. “I think we need basic help and resources like today’s cleanup and things like water,” said Orosco.

Wine & Dine The holiday season is quickly approaching and everyone could use some extra cheer this year. To help kick off the official entertaining season here’s a sampling of wines from around the world perfect for sipping or serving with a delicious meal — try them in-person with loved ones or at your next virtual celebration.
Mimi Escabar ■ Special Sections editor
Champagne, France Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Exclusive Brut NV — This iconic champagne is a fabulous pick for holiday sipping and a classic choice for gifting. It is clean, elegant and complex with delicate bubbles and a fresh finish. Extensive cellar-aging adds maturity and consistency. It is pale straw-gold in color, brilliant and crystal clear, revealing a persistent ribbon of delicate bubbles. The nose is fresh white fruit with aromas of juicy pear, apricot and turmeric spices. An ideal partner to a variety of cuisines, for a special treat or pair with something spicy like Thai food from a favorite local place when a break is needed from heavy holiday dishes. It is also good with starters like smoked salmon toasts or ripe 18-month Beaufort cheese. On the fine dining scale think sautéed prawns with cilantro or sea bass sashimi. Pairs well with seared sea scallops with a vegetable purée.
Napa Valley Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 2018 AVETA Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley — While Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars began bottling sauvignon blanc in the early 1980s, 2013 was the first vintage of AVETA, named for a water goddess often depicted carrying fruit. The 2018 vintage offers an expressive nose of tangerine, orange blossom, pineapple and lemongrass. Grapes from Rancho Chimiles vineyard in Wooden Valley (29%), Ryan in Oak Knoll (17%), Bravo Zulu in Oak Knoll (12%) and Solari in Calistoga (10%) form the backbone of this wine. Oak Knoll fruit brings spicy peach, guava and grapefruit notes to the mix while the Rancho Chimiles Sauvignon grapes lend racy citrus, tropical fruit and mineral notes. The juice was fermented at cool temperatures in a mix of stainless steel (30%) and neutral French oak barrels (70%). The wine is the ideal aperitif. Or, serve it alongside appetizers. Pairs well with roasted chicken and goat cheese-stuffed mushrooms.
Chile Haras de Pirque 2020 Reserva Chardonnay — Offering aromas of white flowers and hints of grapefruit, this chardonnay represents the best expression of this variety in the Casablanca Valley terroir. The vineyards have a north-east exposure and are touched by the delicate winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. These unique climatic conditions guarantee the slow and regular ripening of the grapes enhancing the typical varietal aromas. The ripening period, distinguished by temperatures which were slightly higher than seasonal averages, fully brought out the fruity personality of the chardonnay crop. The nose is elegant, with characteristic citrus fruit notes and pleasurable nuances of peaches. The palate is fresh and the finish and aftertaste close with light sensations of almonds and walnuts. It is the perfect wine to bring to the next holiday brunch with friends. Pairs well with poached salmon with butter sauce and Caesar salad.
New Zealand Villa Maria 2019 Private Bin Pinot Noir, Marlborough — An aromatic pinot noir from New Zealand with a lively personality, this wine shows notes of raspberries, cranberries and red cherries on the nose, along with baking spices such as clove and cinnamon. On the palate, fruit flavors of cranberries and goji berries are intermingled with freshly roasted coffee beans and soft cocoa liketannins. The 2018 growing season started with an excellent spring and a strong flowering period which was followed by a long spell of hot weather with regular rainfall events through the summer months. Pinot noir is incredibly versatile and will go well with roast chicken, duck confit, smoked salmon, simply with mature cheddar cheese or an excellent pick for turkey and stuffing. The screwcap closure on these bottles means easy opening and serving. Pairs well with herb-roasted turkey with gravy and fall harvest salad.
Tuscany, Italy Santa Cristina 2019 Rosso Toscana IGT — Share the taste of Tuscany with loved ones and this beautiful bottle of Italian red wine made in Italy. With delicious notes of cherries, vanilla and balsamic sensations, this wine is versatile, pleasing and sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any winter wine tasting. The palate is soft and ample with a fruity finish and aftertaste. The 2018 vintage was distinguished by a slight delay in vine development which recovered during bud break. Frequent rainfall up until the first days of July were followed by sunny weather, without temperature peaks up until mid-August. The last half of August was characterized by occasional rain and by temperatures which rose once again, starting in September. Harvest began around the end of August and ended in mid-September. Pairs well with rosemary-pepper beef rib roast.
Washington state Col Solare 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain — Col Solare is a collaborative partnership between two giants of the wine world: Tuscany’s Marchesi Antinori and Washington’s Chateau Ste. Michelle. Col Solare (Italian for “shining hill”) realizes the partners’ mission to unite two unique viticultural and winemaking cultures. This 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of black currants, cherries and dried fruit with notes of anise, spice and cocoa with rich and refined tannins — making it the perfect fireside sipper this holiday season. The 2017 growing season was cooler and crop yields were significantly lower in comparison to the past two vintages. The lower temperatures delayed ripening and helped retain fresh fruit aromatics and mouthwatering acidity. Pairs well with spiced leg of lamb and roasted portabella mushrooms.

The Negroni
H Classic Martini 1.50 ounces Highclere Castle Gin Dry vermouth Dash of orange bitters Fill a mixing glass with ice, then add the ingredients over the ice and give it a good stir. Double strain the ingredients into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a verdant green olive or lemon twist. “Chilled glass is very important for a frosted finish, keeping the martini crisp.” — Luis Coelho, head butler, Highclere Castle
.50 ounces Highclere Castle Gin
ighclere Castle Gin, spirit of the “real Downton Abbey,” is winner of 14 prestigious gold awards with a 95 rating from Sunset International and will be a winner at any holiday party. The brand was developed in partnership with the eighth Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and is distilled from a blend of botanicals grown on the ancient estate, including vibrant oranges from the Victorian Orangery, offering a lush citrus forward flavor profile. This exceptionally smooth London dry gin integrates 10 botanicals by using Highclere’s famous oats to soften the finish, n

“I prefer to use a very thin glass with an extra-large ice cube as opposed to numerous ice cubes. The cocktail looks delightful and the pleasure is heightened.” — Luis Coelho, Head Butler, Highclere Castle
The Gin & Tonic 1.50 ounces Highclere Castle Gin Artisanal tonic water Garnish with orange peel and rosemary sprig Fill the glass with ice, followed by the gin. Slowly pour the tonic water and give a gentle stir. Cut an orange peel and twist it over the top of the glass which releases its natural oils. Place the orange peel into the glass along with a fresh sprig of rosemary. “This delicious masterpiece deserves a well-chilled highball or balloon glass.” — Luis Coelho, head butler, Highclere Castle
The White Lady 1.50 ounces Highclere Castle Gin .50 ounce Triple Sec .80 ounce lemon juice One egg white (optional but splendid) Mix the gin, Triple Sec and lemon juice with a half cup of ice and shake until cold. Strain into a martini or coupe glass. “If you are adding the egg white (which we adore) place it in the shaker with the other ingredients but don’t add ice at first. Given them a shake for about 20 seconds to allow the egg to blend through. Strain the mixture, then add ice and shake until cold.” — Luis Coelho, Head Butler, Highclere Castle

■ Many museums reopen with enhanced safety measures Traci Rockefeller Cusack Sacramento Area Museums SACRAMENTO — After being closed for more than seven months due to COVID-19 mandates, many of the nearly 30 members of Sacramento Area Museums are now welcoming the community back for in-person visits in compliance with all state, city and county guidelines. After incorporating enhanced measures and protocols designed to keep visitors, staff members and the community safe and socially distanced, many museums have already reopened or have plans to do so soon. Some, however, have delayed their reopening for a variety of reasons specific and unique to the museum or destination.

Key changes outlined in the plan include: • Guests will be required to wear face coverings to get on the mountain and in all parts of resort operations, including in lift lines and riding in lifts and gondolas. • To maintain physical distancing on chairlifts and gondolas, the resort will only be seating related parties (guests skiing or riding together) or: two singles on opposite sides of a four-person lift; two singles or two doubles on opposite sides of a six-person lift; or two singles on opposite sides of the larger gondola cabins. • Ski and ride school will be offered and on-mountain dining will be open, but with changes to help keep guests safe. • Mountain access will be managed to ensure guests have the space they need. As such, Vail Resorts announced a mountain access reservation system and limits on lift tickets to prioritize its pass holders. Full details on the pass holder reservation system can be found at epicpass. com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-61386. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
