eterans at senior communities in El Dorado County got a big “thank-you” with a Veterans Day Caravan Wednesday. Visiting Angels, a home care independent living organization, organized the military-themed drive-by event that visited El Dorado Estates in El Dorado Hills, Ponte Palmero in Cameron Park, Gold Country Retirement and Health Center in Placerville and both the Cameron Park and Placerville Eskaton campuses. “Today and every day is a great day to thank our veterans, reflect on what they sacrificed for our country and learn from them too,” said Visiting Angels Community Outreach Advisor Kathy Hatten. “Gratitude not only makes you feel good but it brings us
closer together.” The caravan drove by senior communities with drivers and passengers saluting, honking and waving to let veterans know their service is appreciated. “It’s nice to be recognized and for them to honor those who fought and died for this country,” said U.S. Navy
veteran and Gold Country resident Doug Spotteswood. Fred Tillich, manager of El Dorado Hills Estates, has 14 veterans who call his senior community home. “This generation really represents what the United States and patriotism means n

El Dorado County Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams reported to the Board of Supervisor’s Tuesday the state had placed the county in the red or “substantial” tier of its COVID-19 monitoring scale after the seven-day-average daily case rate jumped from 4.2 per 100,000 people to 5.8 per 100,000 during the week ending Oct. 31. The county has been operating in the orange/moderate tier since Sept. 21 much to the relief of most residents and businesses. “Today the county will use the state’s adjudication process to make a case to remain in our current tier. We moved through a similar spike in cases over the summer and since we are not seeing a rise in the other areas the state considers when making its tier assignments, I am advocating for El Dorado to stay in the orange tier,” said Williams in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon. The county will learn the outcome of its appeal no later than Tuesday, Nov. 17. In the meantime the county will remain in the orange tier. “If our adjudication is denied and we are placed in the red tier, the primary impact will be on restaurants, bars, wineries and churches,” said Williams, noting that those establishments will have to reduce indoor capacity from 50% to 25%. Hair salons, barbershops and personal services can remain open indoors with modification. Businesses will be given a few days to come into compliance if the county is moved back to the red tier. n

Third time’s a charm as Cedar Ravine house demolition OK’d Thomas Frey Staff writer A pair of appeals that might have kept a house on Cedar Ravine Road from being demolished were denied just before the clock struck midnight Nov. 10, more than 150 years after the house was built in post-Gold Rush era Placerville. With the house being structurally compromised and the Placerville City Council not finding historical value in it, the two appeals were denied unanimously. Father time has caught up to the house. Its windows are boarded up and the exterior is showing signs of wear after many Placerville winters. The house sits at 3095 Cedar Ravine and was built around 1867. The property is owned by Michael McDermott, who purchased the property in August 2018 when it went into receivership after being red-tagged by the city as
unsafe and uninhabitable. The city Planning Commission gave the OK on demolition in January with McDermott planning to build a duplex in its place. That decision was initially appealed by Placerville resident and local history advocate Jennifer Chapman but McDermott’s application for a demolition permit was withdrawn. “That building is an (eyesore),” said former City Council member John Clerici. “It needs to be torn down or it needs to be replaced.” The house is not occupiable or safe to walk inside, according to Brent Jack of Pro-Built Construction, McDermott’s contractor. Chapman argues the property represents the historical Gold Rush era in Placerville and that it was lived in by Janet Turney and Agnes Blair, who were members of the Blair timber family. n

Ramona was born in Longmont, Colo., and passed away on Nov. 7, 2020 in Auburn, Calif. There’s a place where Mother Nature has got it all together. She knows just when to let wildflowers bloom. Somehow she always seems to know exactly what she’s doing. And the Lord saw fit to furnish elbow room. Have you ever been down to Colorado? I spend a lot of time there in my mind. And if God doesn’t live in Colorado, I’ll bet that’s where He spends most of His time.

The following is from El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office logs:
Dorothy Lorraine Provance
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Dorothy Lorraine Provance at the age of 88 on October 9, 2020; surrounded by family after a prolonged illness with the support of Snowline Hospice. Mom was proceeded in death by her husband of 52 yrs William M Provance; brotherKenneth Brannam of Kansas; and granddaughter-Loretta Jo Clark of Placerville, Mom was born in Joplin Missouri on May 15, 1932. She and Dad married in 1948 and moved to California 1951 with daughter Charlotte. They relocated to El Dorado County in 1961 where they raised their 8 daughters; Charlotte Scheiber, Sheryl Harlow, Eleanor Jaynes, Linda Cummins, Teresa Williams, Susan Provance, Tamara Wilson, and Sandra Provance. Mom is survived by her loving family; 8 daughters and their spouses, 25-grandchildren, 45-great grandchildren, 13-g-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Mom had a pioneer spirit, she taught us a strong sense of family values, compassion for others, the difference between right and wrong. She nursed her family through illnesses, cuts, bruises, broken hearts with a loving smile, a soft voice and gentle hand. Her greatest joy in life was her family; especially her grandbabies, g-grandbabies, and g-ggrandbabies. She thought she was one of the most fortunate people in the world. However, it is her family that was truly blessed because God gave us our own guardian angel right here on earth. Through the years Mom attended American River College-Placerville and worked at Max Jumbo Restaurant, Denny’s Restaurant, Hangtown Pharmacy and retired from Payless Pharmacy. Private services were held at Westwood Memorial Park. Remembrances may be made to Snowline Hospice at 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, CA 95619.

Wildfire spotting network grows to 610 cameras Tahoe Daily Tribune What began as a pilot project to protect Lake Tahoe from wildfires is now being used throughout the state and West Coast. As the threat of wildfires has grown in California so has a network of high-tech cameras in the backcountry that can spot the first outbreak of flames. The 610th ALERTWildfire camera was installed in California last month, according to the program office at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. The size of the multi-state system almost doubled in the past four months, primarily in California, where more than 4.1 million acres have burned this year. There are also 41 cameras in Nevada, nine in Oregon, six in Idaho and one in Washington. Geoscientist Neal Driscoll, director of the ALERTWildfire program at UCSD, said the system allows first responders to begin fighting fires at their outset. “These cameras save critical time by allowing rapid confirmation of 911 calls and accurate location of new fires using the ALERTWildfire web-based interface, time that would otherwise be spent sending engines to mountaintops or launching aircraft to confirm fire ignition and location,” he said in a statement to the Associated Press. The network began in the Tahoe region as a pilot project of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno. UCSD and the University of Oregon

historical society to do his own digging but turned up nothing that qualified the house as historical. To go one step further, he paid $7,000 to have a historical review done by an independent party but they too came up empty-handed. Armed with that information McDermott again applied for a demolition permit, which was granted in October, but this time appellants had the chance to make their case. Chapman and fellow Placerville resident Kirk Smith, who each filed appeals, are both on a mission to preserve Placerville’s history and want to see the decision to OK demolition reversed. In response to findings the structure that stands today at 3095 Cedar Ravine is nothing like the original, Smith said most houses are changed many times and “people make changes.” After the city council assured the house no longer holds historical value, the panel voted unanimously to deny Chapman and Smith’s appeals.
“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

Williams acknowledged at the board meeting they don’t know the cause for the increase in cases while at the same time she emphasized the need for people to avoid gettogethers, continue using masks and wash hands to slow the spread of the disease.

“We don’t dispute that Agnes lived at 3095 Cedar Ravine but the reality is that she didn’t live in what is there now,” Jack said. The walls, flooring and stove have all been added or replaced. A historical resource evaluation found the living room ceiling may be original. City Director of Development Services Pierre Rivas said the house does not meet criteria to qualify as a historical building. After the initial demolition permit application was appealed in January, McDermott said he was warned this could be a long process so he pulled his application and attempted to remodel the house. “When we finally opened up some walls and looked at some stuff it was crazy,” McDermott said. “I wanted to remodel it but it was not feasible.” He estimated it would cost him $400,000 to remodel the house and keep some of the residence’s original structure. McDermott said he went to the

then became partners. The Tahoe Prosperity Center has played a large role in bringing cameras to Tahoe. They launched a fundraising campaign in 2015 that raised enough money to install 13 cameras, two more than their original goal. “These early fire detection cameras have given our local firefighters the intel needed to stop more than 65 fires around our lake since their installation and counting,” said Heidi Hill Drum, TPC CEO, in a letter to its members. “Just two weeks ago a fire on the West Shore was seen on two cameras and our local firefighters were quickly able to stop it before it raged out of control, protecting our priceless landscape and communities.” The most recent camera installed in Tahoe was in Tahoe Donner and helped prevent a fire in its first two weeks. TPC said they are hoping to install a camera at Northstar Ski Resort soon. Local funding has come from donations by Glenbrook homeowners, Clear Creek Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Rotary Clubs, Big George Ventures, Tahoe Truckee Airport District, Sierra Pacific Foundation, Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation, Lahontan Community Foundation and Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation, as well as numerous private individual donors and the U.S. Forest Service. Funding has also come from San Diego Gas & Electric, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The announcement the county might move to a more restrictive tier was greeted with both anger and praise for Williams from members of the public calling into Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. One woman, identified as “Tracy,” called for Williams to resign or be fired, alleging COVID-19 testing of non-symptomatic school employees as being a money grab for state and federal funding. Questioning what “extreme peril” exists in the county, she asked that the emergency declaration be rescinded in light of what she said is a 99% survival rate for those who contract the coronavirus. “The COVID theater needs to end,” she said, noting the abuse of power lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom for actions he took
in response to the pandemic. Another caller, Rita Ferrero, said she thinks the county’s COVID19 statistics don’t warrant an emergency shutdown, asking for more information on the number of deaths resulting from despair, anxiety, depression and businesses closing in comparison to the number of people dying of COVID-19. Several residents called in to thank the Board of Supervisors and Williams for helping
county residents and business owners navigate the disease. A caller also asked for a report on the Oct. 29 conference of north state leaders that Sheriff John D’Agostini attended in Red Bluff. In response to public comments Williams acknowledged that everyone wants to get back to normal. She also said she hopes that the state will agree, as a result of the adjudication process, that there is no need for the county to change tiers.

Stop in vote reporting suggests election fraud
T
o understand the chaos on 2020 election night it is critical to revisit that of 2016. But first, all went smoothly until about 11 p.m. EST, Joe Biden being ahead most of the time. Suddenly eight states — Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, HAROLD PEASE Wisconsin and Nevada — no longer reported their vote count ... with Donald Trump significantly leading in most. Florida signaled that something was wrong when for over an hour viewers wondered why it had not been called for Trump when the uncounted vote coming from the panhandle was mostly Trump supporters. His lead could only go up. Texas had a similar story. These two, with push from their Republican governors, were finally reported as Trump wins. These Electoral College numbers 29 and 38 shot Trump up significantly although he still remained behind Biden. Since Trump was ahead in the other six states, all led by Democrat governors, and Democrats had exhausted their reliable remaining Democrat territory except in New Mexico, the way forward looked to benefit only Trump. Thus Republicans believe the unprecedented and in-unison counting halt prevented Trump from getting the 270 necessary to win — even without Pennsylvania previously said to be essential. Who protects the uncounted votes, during the interim, from being tampered with or replaced? So let’s review the 2016 election to get a perspective on 2020 as both involve Donald Trump. Something happened in 2016 unlike anything in American political history. Seemingly the very bowels of Hell opened and out came every viper. No presidential candidate — Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Herbert Hoover or even Barry Goldwater, who had difficult campaigns — could measure up to what the vipers, from both parties, gave and are giving Donald Trump. Not since Barry Goldwater in 1964, who last threatened the globalists monopoly on national or international power, have I seen the establishment turn on one man with such unity and vehemence as it has Donald Trump. It’s a full-court press consisting of all Democrats, the Republican establishment, including past Republican presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and son George W. Bush, who voted for Democrat presidential contender Hillary Clinton, the “Never Trumpers,” the establishment media as noted and every globalist in the land. Also on board was the establishment press (all networks except Fox), Hollywood moguls such as Steven Spielberg and the billionaire club notably: David Rockefeller before his death, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this alliance and it’s in all their interests to protect one another and destroy anyone who threatens this money and power flow, thus their warfare on Trump. Trump had miraculously survived 16 Republican contenders, including Jeb Bush, by funding his own ■

This collection of dry tinder is one of the biggest underlying causes of a catastrophic wildfire. Mature trees will often endure and a well-built and maintained home and surrounding area can also endure but years of endless lack of attention to forest litter and brush, then ignoring the possible threat of fire in an extremely fire prone region, is almost criminal. Nature will have its way. To those who read this, please, do your part to reduce this deadly threat. This is not God’s will, global warming or anything other than us not doing our job. Take some pride in your property and save yourself, and the rest of us, the heartache of losing everything. And to all the absentee property owners doing nothing, well there is a relatively new county mandate that speaks of just that. Maybe this ordinance needs some teeth: you don’t clean it, we will and send you the bill. Look in the paper; there are literally dozens of land clearing or brush removal ads and I’m sure there is some kind of financial aid available to those who really can’t afford it. Find a way because, trust me, we don’t want to end up on the wrong end of the stick. I don’t want to burn, do you? JIM ALLEN Placerville

Tirade EDITOR: here are so may lies in Mel Chapman’s antiRepublican tirade letter of Oct. 26 that it would take more than the word limit to address them all. But I will give it a try. Mel Chapman stated that there is mining and drilling going on in America’s National Parks. Please give examples of this (not federal lands but National Parks as stated). Chapman also states it is open season on minorities. If this is true, it is in mostly in Democrat controlled cities. eg. Chicago and Baltimore, etc. Regarding clean air. Please see epa.gov/air-trends that in 2019 the aggregate of the six most common
T
air pollutants are down 77%. That criminals can purchase AR-15s. In many states convicted felons cannot purchase guns, which is fine. However, Chapman uses the word criminal. So if you drive 75 mph on the freeway, you have committed a crime and are a criminal. So Chapman wants to take away your constitutional rights? Chapman states that your sons and daughters must die to protect American corporations overseas. President Trump is getting out of overseas wars and making America energy independent for the first time in 75 years. Chapman also writes that foreign governments influence our elections. This is true, but it is for the Democrats. China and Russia have paid the Biden family millions of dollars to do exactly that. Then, Joe Biden says the Chinese government “are good people.” Chapman is also apparently opposed to school choice for parents of children in lower-performing public schools. Public schools receive approximately $12,500 per student annually. Charter schools receive about 27% less than this and private schools usually do not receive any government funds. California spends approximately $65 billion per year on K-12 and higher education — apparently not enough to properly educate our citizens. PHIL NEWELL Placerville
‘My Octopus Teacher’ EDITOR: etflix’s explosive documentary “My Octopus Teacher” chronicles a complex relationship between a man and the world’s most bizarre animal — an octopus. It further testifies to our highly conflicted relationship with animals. We treasure our “pets” — dogs, cats, horses. Our allegiance to them transcends that to our own species. If our dog and a Congolese child were competing for life-saving surgery, the dog would live. Yet we torment, kill and consume other animals similar in appearance, intelligence and ability to suffer. Then we bristle at East Asians who do the same to animals we consider pets. We pride ourselves on being intelligent, rational beings. Yet we still have not figured out our relationship with non-human animals. Some of us have. Vegans profess compassion and respect for all sentient beings. Every one of us can become one on our next trip to our supermarket. ERNESTO DUVALLE Placerville

’ve seen or heard any number of interviews or attempts to interview leading elected officials around the country for opinions on the recent election. Various news and media outlets have sent armies of reporters, fact-checkers and CHRIS scribblers into the halls of Congress hungry for accurate comments. A few examples follow: ABC: “Sen. Rubio, what do you think of the election results so far? And how about that Biden bus incident in Texas?” Sen. Rubio: “What? Oh, I haven’t seen any results. Texans rock! Gotta run. Bye.” CBS: “Sen. Cruz, back during the 2016 campaign Donald Trump taunted you by suggesting nasty things about your wife and really
awful allegations against your dad. It became clear that you believed him then. Do you still see him as a 100 percent truth-teller?” Sen. Cruz: “You’ve got a lot of damn gall to interrupt me. I’m already late for the ‘post office renaming committee.’ And I’ll be DALEY there till March or April. Now get out of my way.” CNN: “Sen. Graham, you called Mr. Trump unfit (seven ways from Tuesday) to be president a few years ago — a clown, a buffoon, a blowhard or similar incompetent. What’s changed since that time?” Sen. Graham: “CNN, you’re the most scurrilous fake news that ever was. President Trump was ordained by God and all the heavenly host and therefore cannot be less than perfect (obviously). He should be crowned commander-in-chief for life.”

FOX: “Sen. McConnell, have you considered that Joe Biden is likely to be the next president?” Sen. McConnell: “OK. Last week I looked like I’d been thrown off the top of the Capitol dome. No concerns. And under new rules that I just made up yesterday, Donald Trump remains president until he and I say so. That’s called ‘law and order’ in my book.” NBC: “Sen. Collins, you congratulated President Elect Biden and VP Elect Harris. Do you anticipate regretting that risky decision?” Sen. Collins: “I just got six more years. Ha, ha. The big bad wolf don’t scare me no more.” RT: “Sens. Johnson and Paul, ‘Russia Today’ talked to Dr. Scott Atlas the other day about COVID-19. Don’t other American comrades ever talk to RT? Da? Nyet?” Sens. Johnson and Paul: “Dr. Scott is the best. Not like that Fauci or Birx. Maybe Scott doesn’t love Russia but our hats are off to Vlad and Kim for
their support.” MSNBC: “Did the COVID infect any members of Congress or the White House?” Senators: “No, as the president and Don Jr. and AG Barr and Govs. Abbott and DeSantis have made abundantly clear, it’s a complete hoax. Nobody died and nobody got sick except maybe Hope Hicks, Mark Meadows, the president (just a little), Melania (hardly at all), Stephen Miller and his wife, a few House members and a weak-ass senator or two. Otherwise, no. Sen. Collins is in the Ladies.” Breitbart: “We’ve asked several dozen Republican senators, Proud Boys, the presidents of Brazil, Hungary and, of course, Russia who won the U.S. presidential election. They all said Donald Trump. Sen. Collins said she’d get back to us.” Senators: “Yay. Those guys know their stuff. Sen. Collins, not so much.” Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

Ponderosa High School had five of its best senior student-athletes sign letters of intent Wednesday on National Signing Day. Ty Uber and Tyler Stewart will continue their baseball careers at Stanford University and California State University, Sacramento, respectively, while Kaylee Hunter will play softball at Marymount California University and Emma Hallums and Shelby Fary will each be competing in rowing at Southern Methodist University and University of Southern California. Uber and Stewart were stars on the pitching mound primed to have big junior-year seasons before everything came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stewart has a career 1.91 earned run average and will lend his talents to the Hornets who have seen eight pitchers drafted to Major League Baseball since 2015, including El Dorado High School alum Justin Dillon. “I love the campus and it’s close to home so my family can come watch,” Stewart said. Uber also played basketball and football but baseball is the sport he will compete in at the college level. On the mound he had a 1.43 earned run average and as a batter he hit .328, including the gamewinning RBI in the 2019 section championship. Uber said he has wanted to go to Stanford since he was 5 years old because academics are very important to him. “It was a dream school of mine and I really like the baseball coaching
staff they have there, we really connected a lot,” Uber said. Kaylee Hunter was lights out pitching in the circle before COVID19 ended the season early. She was 6-1 at the time and has 28 wins in her career with a whole season left to play. She will be attending Marymount California University in Rancho Palos Verdes. “I’d like to thank all the coaches throughout the year who got me to the point that I’m at today and also my family who has been there for every tournament and event that has gone on in my life,” Hunter said. Emma Hallums and Shelby Fary both rowed with Capital Crew in Sacramento since Ponderosa doesn’t have a rowing team. Hallums will attend Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where she will be near family. “I always loved the culture of Texas and the team,” Hallums said. She said her favorite memory of crew was getting to travel to Florida when she was 15 to race for U.S. Rowing. Fary didn’t begin rowing until high school and she credited Hallums with getting her into the sport. “I want to especially thank Emma for getting me into the sport,” Fary said. “I really appreciate it and I wouldn’t be here without her.” Fary said she is excited to get to Southern California to compete with a team and coaching staff that she really likes, adding that it is a great school for her to complete a degree in human biology. The five student-athletes are may play out their senior seasons this spring if COVID-19 restrictions allow.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Accept pangs of frustration as feedback that you should adjust your plan or alter your aim. These feelings only need to be experienced for a fraction of a second to have served their practical purpose. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The atmosphere will be a bit stale upon arrival and, as sensitive as you are, it will be clear that someone’s got to crank out the good vibes that will turn this around, and that someone is probably you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You usually realize what people are protective of before you cross a boundary, but sometimes there are hidden rules you only know about once you come up against them and experience the pushback. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Go ahead and aim high while working low -- doing the groundwork that will bring step-by-step, gradual success. A good plan will include simple measures and lots of repetition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Social interaction can be so involving that it’s hard to know just how you’re feeling in the midst of it. Notice how you feel in the moments after you leave though because that feeling says a lot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have an exhilarating sense of forwarding movement today, though perhaps not in the area you want to move. That’s OK because progress in any area will eventually bring you forward in others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is impossible to know how another person is seeing the situation; however, with a combination of curiosity and empathy, you will come about as close as it gets to this superpower. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A past letdown has influenced you to view your present circumstance in a lessthan-helpful way. Rethink and rewrite your history. Your opinion of what happened is what matters, and that’s something you can change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To put one’s head in an alligator’s open jaws is more foolish than bold, but that’s the price of the gator-stunt. Perhaps it’s also foolish to put one’s heart in the hands of another and hope for mercy, but that’s the price of love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Jealousy is golden! It tells you what you really want and care about. Still, it’s often better expressed in a journal or some other private way, as it’s not the most attractive quality and can skewer the balance of relationships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It takes more than love to make a relationship work. Right now, it’s the simple act of making and keeping agreements that will tell you all you need to know about how the relationship is doing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll listen to the same story a few times, but when patterns become too repetitive, it’s both taxing and a sign that the other person isn’t holding up their end of the conversational bargain.

to us. We need to remember to treat them with respect and be grateful,” said Tillich. El Dorado Hills Estates resident Al Johnson served 11 months in Vietnam as a bomber pilot. “I shot down a Chinese MiG-17,” he shared, choking up as he remembered his fellow soldiers. “It’s really touching. I lost a lot of friends.” Linda Bayless, who also lives at El Dorado Hills Estates, served more than 30 years as a medic on a plane, a firefighter and a dispatcher, and spent several years in the Philippines. “Being a veteran is a great honor,” she said. The 40-vehicle-strong caravan included vintage World War II vehicles, American Legion Riders (Chapter 119) on Harleys, a National Guard Humvee, sports cars with the Cameron Park Corvette Club and a boat towed by the Vista Del Lago Fishing Club — all carrying the stars and stripes and signs with messages of thanks. “Since most Veterans Day activities are put on hold this year we got a lot of interest in our caravan,” said Hatten. Live music was provided by Cameron Park resident Talia Crumb, the owner of Voz Alta Studios, whose business is a collaboration of Sacramento area musicians who primarily focus on providing music and entertainment to senior communities. After the caravan concluded community members, with leadership from Hatton and Visiting Angels, arranged for letters from churches, schools and other groups to be delivered to each veteran. “We put it out on Facebook and have received hundreds of letters … The veterans will absolutely love reading them,” said Hatten. Jana Rossi contributed to this report.

“Lounging” by Theresa Bielawski
Exploring natural beauty, abstract whimsy D. Lee Reyes Gold Country Artists Gallery
P
lacerville’s Gold Country Artists Gallery, an artists’ cooperative named 2020’s Best Art Gallery and Best Fine Jewelry Store, is featuring the work of Theresa Bielawski, Carol Clark and Irene Yesley throughout November.
Beauty in the wild Growing up in a remote part of Montana provided young Bielawski with all the outdoor exploring possibilities a kid could want. Bielawski, who has always been passionate about animals and nature, got her first point-and-shoot camera when she was 10, and stepped into the digital world in 2012. Now an experienced nature and wildlife photographer, Bielawski is able to express the special feeling she gets when she witnesses the behavior of a wild animal or sees an incredible landscape. Knowing that so many people may never have the opportunity to see a particular wild animal or geographic location in their lifetime makes her photography even more special. For example, she was fortunate to recently go on a photo tour to Iceland. Driving across a snow-covered landscape, she saw a church that seemed to be set in the middle of nowhere. Starkly beautiful, painted black, set against leaden skies and white snow, Bielawski’s “Black Church in Iceland” captures a view of something rare and unexpected. On a trip to Alaska Bielawski visited an island where the natives harvest two Bowhead Whales every year. Nothing goes to waste; the local polar bears come to feast on the remnants in the “boneyard.” Bielawski captured a huge, scarred male polar bear “Lounging” on the shore nearby. For those of us who may never see one of these magnificent creatures in the wild, Bielawski has shown us its powerful beauty.
“Gears of Life” by Irene Yesley
A love affair “Do you remember the first time you fell in love?” asked fused glass artist Clark. “It’s like that for me with fused glass art!” Although Clark found working with stained glass, dichroic glass and glass blowing enjoyable it “took only about 10 minutes into my first fused glass class for me to fall completely in love with this art form.” Clark said her love affair with fused glass is an all-encompassing creative experience: she wakes up to the thought of it, lets her mind roam to create designs and marvels at how beautiful a finished piece is. Clark has immersed herself fully into the expression of the joy her creative process brings. She has created a series of clocks, each with abstracted patterns and unusual color combinations, each one unique, like her lavender-on-teal “Clock.” As if Clark hasn’t challenged herself enough, she is now weaving strips of colored glass to create new work, such as “Turquoise and Blue Weave,” which is a wall piece mounted on polished stainless steel. Clark said she appreciates that creating fused glass art uses both sides of the brain, the logical, rule-following part as well as the crazy creative part where almost anything goes. And like most art, there’s an infinite number of things to learn. Clark happily anticipates this lifelong journey of exploration.
Intriguing art Yesley has always liked making things. Her mother encouraged her from the start by giving her all kinds of art kits; now, Yesley is a nationally recognized n

To review: we are not calling it “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” About two months ago Sacha Baron Joshua B. Porter Cohen surprised the Democrat correspondent entertainment industry by revealing that not only would there be a sequel to his 2006 mega-hit “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” but that it was already in the can and ready to premiere in late October. Cohen has been in the public eye for more than 20 years and he sure hasn’t lost an ounce of his ability to surprise, has he? He also hasn’t lost his ability to shock, which if you’ve seen the first Borat or any of his subsequent movies you know he pushes the boundaries quite a bit. You either like the guy or you don’t. Personally, I don’t recall ever laughing as hard at a scene as I did 14 years ago as I watched Borat chase Azamat down a hotel hallway with ... how should we say this ... a notorious prop. But it’s been a decade and a half since that and, dare I say, a dash of heart. infamous sequence and comedic tastes change If you’re offended by the Borat character or any of for audiences. Is “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: the other numerous Cohen creations, you probably Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime aren’t going to be swayed by “Borat Subsequent for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to Kazakhstan” funny? Is it relevant? American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious It’s certainly relevant, at least at the expense Nation of Kazakhstan.” Cohen is of the Trump administration, obsessed with shining a spotlight which is usually at the other end Cohen has been in the on our current society, warts and of Cohen’s hijinx. Truth be told though, “punking” members of the public eye for more than all. You might be offended by the many inappropriate moments in Trump clan is low-hanging fruit 20 years and he sure the film but the man literally risks at this point, especially when you are dealing with Rudy Guiliani hasn’t lost an ounce of his life for the sake of satire. I’m to take the trade. (this may have been shot and his ability to surprise ... willing The element of surprise (at least released before the election, but for the main character) may be I’m convinced that whole “Four gone, but it more than makes up for it with the Seasons Total Landscaping” fiasco last week was addition of Bakalova and its propensity for political somehow engineered by Cohen). and cultural tomfoolery. I may not have laughed As far as funny, if you’ve seen one Borat film as much as I did with the first film, but I was you’ve seen them all, so the sequel needed a bit completely intrigued. more than Cohen’s well-known shtick to make it Joshua B.

The concert features Artistic Director and pianist Ken Hardin, Concertmaster and violinist Richard Altenbach joined by local and regional musicians who perform often with the InConcert Sierra and Sierra Master Chorale Orchestras. The program is an exciting and enchanting program of quintessential and beloved chamber works featuring Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” (chamber version), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and Ernst Dohnanyi’s “Sextet in C Major.” Joining Hardin and Altenbach are David Eby, cello; Kristen Autry, violin; Susan Lamb Cook, cello; Tom Derthick, bass; James Een, viola;, Jolán Friedhoff, violin; Nancy Hill, violin; Cameron Kopf, horn; Elizabeth McAllister, clarinet;

InConcert Sierra presents a virtual presentation of its March 2014 concert Chamber Favorites with Local Favorites this Sunday. Kirsti Powell, flute; Dave Riddles, bassoon; and Melinda Rayne, viola. “Prior to moving to Portland, Ore., David Eby suggested this program and Richard and I were immediately onboard. David returned for this special and spectacular program to be with his Northern California friends. It’s not often you get to hear familiar
favorites like these and not often that I get to perform with this list of sensational local players and friends,” said Hardin. “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” known popularly as “A Little Night Music,” is noted as one of Mozart’s most famous and favored works. “Appalachian Spring” is another favorite that includes folk melodies
and ends with a set of variations on the Shaker hymn “Simple Gifts,” which demonstrates why Copland was one of the earliest important composers who helped to establish a distinctive American sound. The story of “Appalachian Spring” is a very heartfelt and happy spring celebration of the American pioneers of the 19th century after building
a new Pennsylvania farmhouse. Dohnanyi’s fascinating “Sextet in C Major” illustrates the quality, creativity and vitality of his writing. Dohnanyi has a place of honor in Hungarian culture, known as an emulator of Brahms and contemporary of Bartók. This concert is dedicated to the memory of Cameron Kopf, who died
unexpectedly in 2018. He played horn for InConcert Sierra and Music in the Mountains and played in the Nevada County Concert Band after retiring from performing on Broadway touring shows. “Cameron’s easy-going nature and gentle spirit, and mischievous smile, captivated the hearts of his colleagues, students, friends and family,” Hardin said. “Cameron left his mark on our musical community and he is remembered fondly by all of us. It’s a joy to see him playing.” The video will be on InConcert Sierra’s YouTube, website and Facebook starting at 1:45 with a pre-concert forum that leads right into the concert performance at 2 p.m. There will be a special Zoom party with a conversation about the music following the concert. Reservations for the post-concert party will be limited to 50 for this first time — available on the Nov. 15 webpage at inconcertsierra. org. There is no fee for either concert viewing or post-concert party attendance.

Knight Foundry reopens to the public this Saturday in Sutter Creek.
Knight Foundry reopening News release After seven long months Knight Foundry plans to be open to the public on this month’s regularly scheduled tour day, Saturday. Nov. 14. The public is invited to visit and explore Sutter Creek’s historical industrial crown jewel — Amador County’s own unique window into its history and heritage. Talk with expert docents and watch as they demonstrate the magnificent machinery. Watch as hot metal is poured and crafted. All the volunteers look forward to welcoming guests back and hope that this month is the start of resuming the second Saturday public tour days at Knight Foundry. Because space is very limited due to COVID-19 guidance, advance tickets and reservations are available and highly recommended. Guests can use the QR code below
to access the order form, or visit the Tours & Events page at knightfoundry. com. Depending on advance sales, tickets will be available at the door. “The safety and health of both visitors and volunteers are a top priority to make the reopening a success,” said Wade Worsham, Knight Foundry Alliance tours director. “Guests will be asked to confirm their health status when they arrive and to wear a face covering and use hand sanitizer throughout their visit. Physical distancing will be observed throughout the facility.” Knight Foundry is at 81 Eureka St., Sutter Creek. For more information visit Knight Foundry on Facebook, email info@knightfoundry.com or call (209) 560-6160.

Continued from B1
artist with a masters of fine art in printmaking from Arizona State University. Her interests are boundless and her love of making things has led her from printmaking to textiles to painting to lithography and to her intriguing abstract monotypes. Abstraction is Yesley’s forté. She conveys a variety of emotions by creating tension between shapes and spatial relationships, through the use of subtle and unexpected variations of patterns and colors. Her intriguing designs achieve her aim of making art that is “interesting from a distance and still has something new to discover when seen up close.” For example, the viewer’s eye follows Yesley’s abstracted “Pink Ribbon” as it moves over a field of static shapes. If Yesley’s goal is to intrigue the viewer, then this image does draw us back to look
again. Yesley’s “Gears of Life” is more surreal than abstract, with a rather dreamy quality. Acrylic paint on layers of plexiglass gives it depth and the gold leaf on the wheel behind the image provides a surprising contrast.
The gallery Gold Country Artists Gallery, 379 Main St. in Placerville, is open daily, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

“Harvest Shindig” by Martha Jones
“Sweet Tea” by Victoria Brooks
It’s tea time at Folsom gallery Cynthia Abraham Gallery at 48 Natoma
T
he weather is changing and the nights are getting cooler. What a wonderful time to cozy up with a nice cup of tea. The exhibit, Teatime, including oil paintings by Victoria Brooks, mosaics by Martha Jones and a selection of teapots from the ceramics classes at the Gallery at 48 Natoma will start Nov. 13 and continue through Jan. 14, 2021.
Total immersion When this exhibit was planned more than a year ago, the artist Brooks explained, “Little did I know I would be painting for this show during the COVID lockdown. It was such a strange time with my other shows and exhibitions, as well as travel being delayed or canceled. I now had a challenge and purpose to paint for the future. I totally immersed myself into this project. Borrowing teacup collections from friends, I set up three still life stations in my studio and painted outdoors when the weather
permitted. I was not limited by size. The largest painting is 24 inches by 24 inches and the smallest is 6 inches by 6 inches. Painting alla prima (from life) allows me to see subtle color nuances and values not seen in photos.” After a successful career and many national awards as an art director in television and motion pictures, Brooks pursued her love of painting, which she has been doing for 20 years. In addition to being a talented studio artist, she is an accomplished plein air painter as well. She has won numerous Best of Show awards for her studio and plein air works. Brooks loves teaching oil and watercolor painting and is a favorite of art clubs for her informative art demonstrations. She teaches plein air painting workshops in California, Italy, France, Ireland and Greece. Brooks is a signature member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society and the American Impressionist Society. She also is an artist member of the Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, Plein
Air Painters of New Mexico and Plein Air Painters of Hawaii.
A new purpose Jones, the owner of Green Mosaics, combines her individual spirit and colorful artwork into creating unique and often humorous pieces. This style, also known as pique assiette, is a type of mosaic made from cementedtogether tile shards, broken tile mosaics, ceramics bits and pieces and broken chinaware. In this series featuring teapots, lids and other chinaware and porcelain pieces, she said, “Finding an object and changing its purpose — using only reused, recycled, found and gifted materials — not only helps the environment but also adds art to our lives. Along with the grounding philosophy of recycling/reusing, materials are never sourced through retail chain stores. Use what’s here — lessen the footprint.” Jones is also an award-winning, published interior/architectural designer and owner of Envisions West, formerly located in San Francisco. The training is evident through her use of composition, colors and textures. High-end interior designer meets the salvage world — a perfect combination of creativity.
In the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma, the Quartz Quilters group is displaying a variety of small art quilts in several themed work series, including Teatime, Ancient History, Climate, Tell Me A Story, Something I See Every Day and Picasso-Style Self-Portraits.
About the gallery The Gallery at 48 Natoma is managed by the Folsom Parks and Recreation Department and displays art by regional and national professional artists, area museum collections and traveling exhibitions. It offers high-quality, original art exhibits to the community that otherwise may not be experienced in this area. Admission is free and art is available for purchase.
