‘We did it ladies’
CPCSD hears Rasmussen Pond concerns Sherri Bergmann Mountain Democrat correspondent Last Monday evening the Cameron Park Community Services District Parks and Recreation Committee provided an open floor for residents to let their voices be heard about the sale of Rasmussen Pond. In a packed meeting room of more than 100 people, residents gave heart-felt speeches that brought many to tears. For more than 40 years residents have enjoyed a gem hidden in Cameron Park encased by oak and pine trees across a seasonal creek from Rasmussen Park — a secluded pond teeming with birds and wildlife. Although the 104 acres of land is privately owned, the owner has allowed visitors to enjoy the scenic and rare beauty. The area contains walking trails through a meadow, an open oak forest and seasonal creeks rush through it. The land borders the Pine Hill Preserve where plants found nowhere else in the world grow. Native American grinding rocks are scattered throughout the property. More than 60 bird species have been sighted. The combination provides a unique haven for plants and wildlife to thrive and has captured the hearts of those who have visited it and grown up cherishing it. Retired geophysicist Rob Harris co-founded the group Rescue Rasmussen Pond, a team of residents that formed when they found out the land was for sale. Harris provided a presentation to appeal to the CPCSD to help protect one of the largest remaining natural open parcels of land in Cameron Park. CPCSD General Manager Jill Ritzman, Chair Director Felicity Carlson and Vice Chair Sidney Bazett facilitated the meeting and after the Harris’ presentation provided three-minute opportunities for residents to respond. And respond they did. One resident brought in a large canvas picture of a tree on the property with a hawk flying above it. He explained that for 14 years he has watched a family of hawks grow up in the tree and cherishes the wildlife and beauty that exists there. Another said being born and raised in the area, because of the impact the land had on him, he went to college and studied to become a naturalist. A schoolteacher read from cue cards her life through years of visiting the land, from being single n

Kingsbury to step down from the bench Thomas Frey Staff witer Twenty-five years after Suzanne Kingsbury was voted in as the first female judge in El PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
Dorado County, she step out of her chambers a final time when 2021 comes to a close. “The women judges have climbed up on Judge Kingsbury’s shoulders,” said fellow county Superior Court Judge Dylan Sullivan. “She was a pioneer in El Dorado County courts.” In 1996 Kingsbury was one of six candidates — and the only female — running for a vacant El Dorado County Superior Court Department 3 judge seat. And she didn’t even see her campaign through to the primary polls. Kingsbury said she stopped campaigning after her mother-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer. “We were coming
up on the March primary and family is more important so I just pulled the plug,” Kingsbury said. “… my name was already going to be on the ballot at that point but I just felt like it was important to be with family.” Her mother-in-law passed away a month before the primary. As results of the March 1996 primary election began to roll in Kingbury and her family went over to a friend’s house. They settled in and tasked the friend’s son to go on something fairly new at the time, the internet, to find election updates. “This was probably the first election where n

Michael David Stuhlsatz
March 14, 1943 – Oct. 4, 2021
Michael David Stuhlsatz, “Mike,” 78, died peacefully at home in his garden Oct. 4. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Rosemarie; his children Anthony (Tony) and Sara, the loving memory of daughter Lizzy, six brothers and sisters and a host of loving family and friends. Mike was a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., and retired as a captain in the Merchant Marine. He moved his family to Camino, Calif., where he grew apple orchards and bottled excellent wine. Mike and Rosemarie worked together in retirement to make their property a place of great beauty and peace. Mike lived an eventful life, touching many other lives with his intelligence, wit and boundless sense of fun. He will truly be missed. In honor of this, the family requests that in lieu of flowers or gifts, that those who wish to honor and remember Mike fill a glass with something they enjoy, lift the glass and say, “Here’s to Mike and a life well-lived.” Captain Mike has hoisted his anchor, left port and sailed off for his next adventure. Bon Voyage.

The Mountain Democrat strives to be accurate and clear in its reporting. Here are clarifications regarding the article, “Homelessness solutions put on hold,” published Nov. 12: The original article states that El Dorado County Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton recommended the county have a managed homeless camp by June 2022. The purpose of the Nov. 9 Board of Supervisors agenda item was to provide discussion on whether the board wanted to move forward with the HOSTESS program despite legal and financial risks, according to Ashton. If they decided to move forward with the program despite these risks, Ashton recommended a revised timeline on implementing a campground, preferably before the start of the next fire season. El Dorado Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care Co-Chair Marissa Muscat stated the idea of implementing pallet homes could be a great addition to the Strategic Plan and that CoC will discuss solutions like pallet housing at its Nov. 15 meeting. She also stated the HOSTESS program is problematic because it does not meet the mission to end homelessness, is not compliant with state requirements and would need to be completely remade to make it compliant. Supervisors chose a different direction separate from the HOSTESS program, directing staff to look into other solutions.

Christmas tree permits sell out in one day Mountain Democrat staff Eldorado National Forest Christmas tree permits that went on sale online beginning at 8 a.m. Nov. 9 sold out in a matter of hours. To reach a quota of about 5,000 trees to be cut down on forest land, 3,137 permits were sold, according to Jennifer Chapman, public affairs officer for the Eldorado National Forest. Permit holders are allowed to take up to two trees. No additional permits will be issued. Chapman noted that permit
purchasers were mostly local and Sacramento area residents. There is still opportunity to scout and cut a holiday tree on forest land in El Dorado County as permits in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit will be up for sale at 8 a.m. Nov. 17. Forest managers expect some 1,500 permits there to also sell out quickly. To purchase a Christmas tree permit visit recreation.gov. Christmas tree cutting on National Forest land helps forest managers thin densely populated stands of smalldiameter trees.
Forum to explore wood products infrastructure News release FAIR PLAY — The Amador-El Dorado Forest Forum will host a panel of forest resource stakeholders to discuss their interests, efforts and challenges in expanding wood products infrastructure in El Dorado County. A moderator-led discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer session. The meeting is at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at Pioneer Park, 6740 Fairplay Road in Somerset. The increasing need to manage forests in California is obvious. In both pre-fire and post-fire conditions forest management relies on efficiently dealing with increasing forest vegetative matter. Over the last 50 years the wood products sector throughout California has significantly declined. These diverging trends are not only a problem throughout California but right here in El Dorado and Amador counties’ forests. Panelists will explore the problems and solutions of the issue and provide insight to their own roles and abilities at the local level. Forum attendees will learn what wood
products infrastructure might look like and the connections it may provide as a critical component of managing forests now and into the future. Panelists will also discuss action already under way to meet the challenges facing wood products infrastructure. Panelists will include local government representatives, forest industry representatives, federal forestland managers, a local energy utility company, professional forestry organizations and state and local forestland owners and managers. The panel discussion will commence at 6:30 p.m. and the questionand-answer portion around 8. There is no cost to attend. RSVP by contacting Diane Dealey Neill at dianedealeyneill@gmail.com or (530) 417-1960. The Amador-El Dorado Forest Forum is a group of forestry professionals, forest educators and others interested in forestry practices and issues. The forum meets once a month at various locations in the twocounty area. For more information visit forestforum.org.

California Commentary
How dirty are California’s ‘green’ policies?
O
f all 50 states, it would be difficult to match California’s posturing as a “green” state with the nation’s most stringent environmental policies. Burdensome laws and regulations are imposed by elected officials and bureaucrats who try Jon COupal to outdo each other by burnishing their environmental bona fides. But how much of this posturing is really posing? Worse yet, how many of these policies actually damage the environment? The pursuit of effective environmental policies requires clear thinking and critical analysis that transcend sound bites and superficial conclusions. Regrettably, that doesn’t happen often in California and here are the most glaring examples. First on the list is California’s High-Speed Rail Project. This project was justified almost entirely on environmental grounds. A carbon-free rail project (false) that could travel from L.A. to San Francisco in about two hours (false) and would replace thousands of cars on the road (false) sounds great, but sober international transportation experts now doubt the project will ever be completed. In the meantime, the massive amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with construction and the destruction of valuable farmland in the Central Valley exposes HSR for the truly environmentally damaging effort it is. Second, for some strange reason, California does not count hydroelectric power as a “green” energy source. This makes no sense whatsoever and deters the development of additional projects that are reliable (not dependent on sun or wind) sources of carbon-free energy. Third, in California it is accepted as gospel that urban transit is better for the environment than individual automobiles. Whether that is true depends on innumerable factors that make broad pronouncements suspect. Robert Poole of the Reason Foundation is an expert in all matters involving surface transportation and has this to say about transit today: “But what I want to question is the premise that shifting huge sums to mass transit and passenger rail would make America greener. There’s growing evidence that it would not. For example, cars are presumed to be more polluting (both conventional emissions and CO2) than mass transit — but that is no longer so.” Fourth, few dispute that solar energy is a legitimate piece of the green energy puzzle but California’s green policy advocates tend to elevate solar to an exalted status where it really doesn’t belong. For one thing, there is a finite amount of energy that falls on a square meter of Earth’s surface no matter how efficient a solar panel may be. To replace all current power plants with solar would require dedicating millions of acres, robbing that land of use for other purposes such as natural habitat. Moreover, the vast majority of solar panels are produced in China and manufactured using coal-produced electricity. (And, of course, slave labor.) Fifth, environmental activists are loath to cut down n

Letters to the Editor Dorado Oaks — less than significant impact? EDITOR: iamond Springs is slated for major housing growth. The approved Diamond Springs Village Apartments includes 80 units. Piedmont Oaks Estates brings 81 residential units, with a map allowing the developer to possibly double that number. A major pending development is Dorado Oaks. If approved as currently proposed, it will add 382 residential units. El Dorado County needs housing and we want more housing. That must be tempered with wise, realistic planning so the communities receiving these new developments can adequately and safely accommodate them. Many are concerned over the ability of Diamond Springs’ roadways to handle the increased traffic these developments will bring. The Dorado Oaks developer’s draft environmental impact report states, “The average household size in El Dorado County was 2.56 individuals per household in 2010.” The report multiplies this factor of 2.56 by the number of units proposed to calculate an estimate of the population increase the project will bring. Combining the 80 units, 81 units and 382 units from the developments described above, multiplying that by 2.56 individuals per household, the estimated population increase from these projects is 1,390. Diamond Springs’ 2020 population is 11,731. Diamond Springs faces a potential population increase of 11.85% from these three developments. Two are certain; one is proposed. What will the traffic impact be on roadways already thoroughly congested? The Diamond Springs Parkway may lessen traffic through downtown (once it is ever completed), but it will not affect capacity and vehicles must still use the same channel (Missouri Flat Road) to reach Highway 50. We are still coping with the devastating Caldor Fire. The evacuation route led directly to Diamond Springs. Many are concerned about what could happen in another emergency, with increased traffic from these developments. The developer’s EID continually concludes that Dorado Oaks will have a “less than significant impact” on Diamond Springs. There is no shortage of data, charts and expert opinions cited as proof. But we live here, we too are experts and better able to envision the significant impacts of Dorado Oaks than a report commissioned by a Los Angeles developer who will benefit financially from its success, but never live with

Waste Connections issues EDITOR: he county contracts with Waste Connections for a number of waste related and recyclable services. Among them are solid waste collection which includes garbage and recyclable materials. Recently the driver failed to empty my receptacles. I spoke with an employee at the main office and was told that I could set out an extra can the next week. I then checked the eldoradodisposal.com website and found this: “Missed Collection — If your container(s) were at the curb by 4 a.m. (we recommend the night prior to collection) and were not emptied contact El Dorado Disposal at (530) 626-4141 or (916) 985-1162. Note if the containers are difficult to see from the street. Leave the container(s) out and they will be collected by the end of the next business day after notification.” My collection day is Friday. This may have something to do with the difference between what is on the website and what I was told. Doing some poking around I found this: The contract is administered under the solid waste department (Environmental Management) of the county. This department is responsible for reviewing the contract to ensure compliance by Waste Connections. This department also reviews customer complaints. I suggest you contact the county Solid Waste department to submit a complaint. At the time of this writing the person in charge is: timothy.engle@ edcgov.us. In addition, I found this general complaint form at edcgov.us/government/emd/webforms/pages/ submit_a_complaint.aspx. I wonder where the complaint form goes? The complete agreement between El Dorado

in the hundreds of thousands of acres. Read the book “Sudden Sea” by R.A. Scotti. It is enlightening. How quickly we forget Diane from 1955 or Hazel or Carol from 1954. Thirty-two years ago there was Hurricane Hugo, all but forgotten. And then there was the Galveston Hurricane that killed more than 8,000 people in 1900. The last 20 years have been relatively hurricane inactive. Yes, there was Katrina, a class three that killed about 1,800 because of poor levy maintenance. When you have a million or more people living 10 feet below sea level, you need to maintain your levy system. Hurricanes aren’t proof of AGW. The two worst floods in the United States occurred in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. Occurring in 1927 and 1937, they became the impetus for the TVA or Tennessee Valley Authority, which brought power to a large part of that area. The last big flood, which didn’t make the Almanac, was in the Missouri River Valley in 1993 which I flew over at about 9,500 feet. It was big, but before AGW was on the radar. So much for using floods as proof of AGW. The snows on Mount Kilimanjaro were lost to a change in the local
environment. People living around the Kilimanjaro cut the forests down, creating a new climate. The snows melted, but not from higher concentrations of CO2. In Antarctica the ice shelf is growing, not melting. Yes, ice does break off, but it is caused by the ice building into more northerly (warmer) latitudes. No valid AGW anecdotal evidence there. Now let’s get to the California forest fires. First, they are not unprecedented. There were larger fires that took place regularly 200 years ago. Nearly oneeighth of the state burned in some years with many times 4.5% being an average year of the state’s burn area relative to our overall acreage (about 100 million). They were as unmanaged then as they are now, when it’s considered catastrophic when 1% of the state burns. There are many reasons for the current forest fires and none of them is AGW. We don’t thin the forests so they become a match box. We don’t clean out the underbrush. We stopped logging. And, starting with Smokey Bear, we didn’t allow enough prescribed or controlled burns. In other words, fires are because of bad

Navy veteran Fred P. Clark Jr., left photo, points to his wartime photos, including a photo of him piloting a PB4Y-2 Privateer 3 miles off the southern tip of South Korea during the Korean War. He said he enjoyed viewing World War II and Korean War memorabilia as part of the living history event. “It brings back lots of memories,” he said. Sgt. Sylvester Ramacher, right photo, Marine Corps-Ret. 1951-54, Navy-Ret. 1956-60 and Army Reserve-Ret. 1963-66, holds an Arista Type 99 Japanese rifle that Ponte Palmero resident Marylou Lingenfelter displayed for Veteran’s Day. Her brother obtained it from the battlefield of the South Pacific. Ponte Palmero residents filled the activity room with war memorabilia dating back to World War II. Forty veterans live in the retirement complex, and many more widows and widowers of veterans. Activities assistant Christi Shea said residents worked hard to put displays together, retrieving memorabilia from relatives or from storage. “It brings back a lot of memories and pride that goes with it,” said resident and veteran Sylvester Ramacher.

trees. Green policies which hinder rational timber harvesting have had disastrous results. Catastrophic fires not only killed hundreds of people and destroyed thousands of homes in California, but also destroyed countless wild animals including, no doubt, many on the endangered species list. Sixth, California has irrationally declared war on natural gas with many municipalities banning new gas hookups for business and residential use. Gas-fired power plants are also disfavored notwithstanding their superior efficiency relative to coal-fired plants where California still gets some of its energy. The gains made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States in the last two decades have been largely attributed to the shift to natural gas for electricity production. Seventh, what about wind? Like solar power, wind energy is a partial solution to clean energy but it too has its faults. Some members of the Audubon Society refer to wind turbines as “Avian Cuisinarts” for the number of birds killed daily by the fan blades, including endangered eagles and condors. Finally, no discussion of the foolishness of California’s green policies would be complete without noting the rejection of reliable, carbon-free nuclear power. There may have been legitimate reasons for deciding to close Rancho Seco, Diablo Canyon

and San Onofre, but the new generation of nuclear reactors are safe, reliable and clean. Regrettably, it is doubtful that one would ever be built in California no matter how much sense it makes. Kermit the Frog famously said it isn’t easy being green. Perhaps he was right but it doesn’t mean we can’t approach the legitimate environmental problems facing California with a lot more serious thought and a lot less posing.

forest management. AGW has nothing to do with it. Once a fire starts, because of the forest’s tinderbox conditions, if the ambient temperature was 5 degrees less, 10 degrees less, it would be of no consequence. And I haven’t addressed the Milankovitch cycles (coming soon) or the fact that 10,000 years ago Lake Tahoe had an ice sheet a half a mile thick over the entire lake. Did human-created CO2 caused that to melt? There is also strong evidence Lake Tahoe region had a significant 100- to 200-year drought a 1,000 or so years ago.

If you are a property owner you may have noticed that the county collects $17 for solid waste and $15 for liquid waste on your tax bill. I found this interesting. According to a county employee, the county has never failed to approve a fee increase
request from Waste Connections. This most recent increase was passed by a 4-1 vote. The District 2 supervisor voted no. The point of this is: If you have a complaint regarding service, or lack thereof, you might want to include the county in your complaint. JOEL WILLIS Somerset

For the first time in school history, both water polo teams at Ponderosa advanced to the CIF Sac-Joaquin section finals in the same season. By qualifying for the section championships, the boys team led by head coach Adam Donovan and the girls team piloted by head coach Alex Labass each earned a spot in the Northern California regionals, which
begin Tuesday. Both teams are led by strong senior classes with Madisen Berry, McKenna Berry, Emmary Cordell, Gabi Ferretti, Grace Mensing, Briana Nelson and Kelly Simkin guiding the girls’ side and Liam Roberts, Alex Wild, Jacob Wenham, Ethan Mueller and Kade Johnson leading the boys’ squad. The teams were slated to compete against Lodi Saturday at the Roseville Aquatics Center for a chance to advance in championship brackets.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone is pulling you down. Say goodbye for a while. The break will be a blessing. You’ll get the pleasure of knowing where you stand as an individual outside of the context of a group. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You cannot control how many times a good thing crosses your path but you can seize the opportunity when it arises. If you can’t use the resource in one place, you’ll use it somewhere else. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re looking ahead to a time you’ll be working in an entirely different scale. You don’t currently have the resources to do what’s required of you on the other side, but you’ll attain them along the way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be interesting to the people around you. First, you’ll get their curiosity, and then their continued attention. Over time you’ll see evidence of your influence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attitude and appearance speak for you. You don’t have to say anything at all to tell the world about yourself. People’s responses to you will surprise and inform you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The right move is often one that is more work than the wrong move, but not always. Today, you’ll get lucky, and the right thing will also be the easy thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your commitment to bettering yourself and creating better experiences for others will drive your choices. Note that improvement doesn’t always require work. What’s most needed now is rest and recovery. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Hyperbole won’t help matters, so avoid exaggerations. When you stop looking for the best, worst, nicest or meanest, you will see life for what it really is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing you do feels automatic, but in fact, it’s a decision. Go back to the crossroads. Do not make a turn. Stand in contemplation. What choices have you been missing? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s appropriate to be aggressive in the heat of the game, but this occasion so rarely comes up. You’ll be ready when it does. In the meantime, you’ll flex your mercy, compassion and empathy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Expect a variety pack of challenges — some logistical, others having to do with communication and a few that speak directly to what you’ve been working on. With your sporting attitude, this should be fun! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Go ahead and take on the hard task because much will be accomplished inside of the project. You’ll conquer fear, transform a piece of your world and create a new habit, all in one go!

to meeting a man with whom she shared the land’s beauty and who eventually became her husband, then having their children grow up enjoying the land. A hydrologist explained how the water from the hills feeds the meadows and the pond and that if a development were to be built on the property, it would end the natural ecosystem. Although appreciation was expressed for parks in the community, it was pointed out that none offers the solitude and rare beauty of what residents call Rasmussen Pond. Ritzman explained the reality of the situation — even if someone donated the $6.9 million property to the community, they would need to come up with the money to fund the maintenance of the land. She said the district is already challenged to manage the 143 acres it already has. She also mentioned that CPCSD grants and funding must be shared across community needs and desires, such as the growing Bass Lake area,
where residents are requesting parks and recreation needs and preservation around Bass Lake. Ritzman said the district would work with the new landowner to develop trails and preserve the natural and cultural resources on the property, and seek options to keep the land available for public use and enjoyment. Providing additional trails is specifically an objective of the CPCSD Board of Directors, she said, and acquiring more land and trails would take the pressure off Cameron Park Lake. District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin was in attendance, encouraging residents to continue to advocate for the open space and to attend redistricting meetings that might influence governance of the area. After the meeting Rescue Rasmussen Pond supporter Dennis Cashman said, “I think a movement was cemented at the meeting tonight which will propel a great effort in our community to save the Rasmussen Pond property.”

no one else wanted it,” Kingsbury joked. By becoming presiding judge, her roles in the courthouse grew exponentially as she gave judges assignments, oversaw the business end of the court, dealt with complaints about sitting judges and oversaw the civil grand jury. “There is probably a million other things,” Kingsbury said after eight minutes of listing her duties as presiding judge. Over the last 25 years she has seen the El Dorado County Superior Court system add many new judges, including female judges Vicki Ashworth in Dept. 1, Jamie Pesce in Dept. 5 and Sullivan in Dept. 9. “Judge Kingsbury has been a role model and inspiration to me both while I practiced in front of her and while I have had the privilege of serving the community from the bench with her,” said Pesce, who had worked in the District Attorney’s Office prior. Ashworth, who also is the assistant presiding judge, said she has benefited from the Kingsbury’s leadership and guidance. “Over the past seven years I have had the opportunity and privilege to learn from her and directly observe the daily impact she has on our court and community,” Ashworth said. “I am grateful for the positive impact she has made on the El Dorado County bench and her continuous support of colleagues as the presiding judge.” Due in large part to Kingsbury’s efforts, more services have been made available in the county for self-represented litigants, including adding family law facilitators, expansion of the court’s self-help center to provide paralegal services and its civil and family law dispute resolution programs. Working with justice system partners and fellow judicial officers judge Kingsbury brought to El Dorado County its first juvenile and 275119 adult drug courts, behavioral health courts, veterans court and a DUI court. In 2015 in partnership with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Tribal Court and the county Kingsbury helped develop the state’s first joint jurisdiction court. Since 1985 Judge Kingsbury has been active in community affairs, including serving as a member, officer and president of the South Lake Tahoe Women’s Center Board of Directors and a member of the boards of the Sierra Recovery Center, Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation and Hospice of the Lake. Kingsbury participates each year in educational events such as The Drug Store Project, Every 15 Minutes and Teen Court. She was also an adjunct instructor in the criminal justice program at Lake Tahoe Community College for more than a decade. In her retirement Kingsbury said she plans to join the assigned judges program where she would help out when judges need time off for a family emergency, medical reason, education training or to take a vacation. Kingsbury is sure to have more time to enjoy the company of her three daughters and two grandkids. She said she and her husband may also do a little traveling.
GU
you could get the results online,” Kingsbury said. “However, it was dial-up internet so it was agonizingly slow.” When the results finally loaded the son and his mother looked at the screen and simultaneously yelled, “You’re in first place!” Kingsbury’s finish that night led to a November runoff with lawyer Steve Gorman. She won by more than 14 points. Kingsbury said people told her the only reason she won was because she was a woman. It had been a long road for Kingsbury, one she almost never took. Kingsbury was born in Ohio and spent a few years in Southern California before moving to Sacramento with her family in third grade. She went to the now closed Bishop Manogue High School before going to California State University, Sacramento, where she wanted to be an art major. Artistic talents run in her family and Kingsbury said she had modest skills. “I basically had an art teacher at the college say, ‘You need to pick something else to do,’” Kingsbury recalled. She was also taking a criminal justice class as an elective and said she really enjoyed it. She set her sights on becoming a police officer. “It was the early-to mid-70s and it was extremely difficult for a woman to pass a physical performance test because it relied on certain strength characteristics that a lot of women don’t necessarily possess,” Kingsbury said. “One of the tests that I went to, you had to hang from a parallel bar for 10 minutes. Even in my strongest days, no way. So I got discouraged.” Many of her friends wanted to take the test for law school. Kingsbury was one of few who passed and found herself at McGeorge Law School at the University of the Pacific. While in law school, she worked about 60 hours a week at a civil law firm and as a legal intern in the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office. After graduating she took a full-time job as a lawyer at a civil law firm, where she handled litigation of various types. Kingsbury said she wanted to get back in the courtroom though and in 1985 she and her husband, who worked for the California Highway Patrol, moved to South Lake Tahoe and Suzanne got a job in the deputy district attorney’s office. In 1990 she took a new job in the same building as deputy public defender. She said she hadn’t really considered becoming a judge until 1995, when she learned Terrence Finney’s seat would open up. “People encouraged me to run … people who know me from my bench work don’t necessarily perceive this from me but I’m kind of a shy, quiet person,” Kingsbury said. “The idea of going around, shaking hands and kissing babies was frightening to me. I did it and eventually got better over time and I actually ended up enjoying the process and meeting a lot of people throughout the county.” Nearly three years after winning the seat in 1996 Kingsbury became the county’s presiding judge. “They elected me probably because

ix students from Golden Sierra High School, seven students from Ponderosa High School and seven students from El Dorado High School recently participated in the 2021 El Dorado Forestry Challenge, joining total of 58 high school students from nine schools from coastal and central valley regions at the event, Oct. 27-30, at Community of the Great Commission Camp in Foresthill. One of the highlights for the students this year was the opportunity to collect data at CGC and recommend a path that combines harvest and fuel treatment with the goal of protecting the camp from severe damage if and when there is a wildfire. During the challenge, teams of students also completed a field test to assess their technical forestry knowledge and data collecting skills. “The Forestry Challenge is an event we look forward to all year and the students work so hard and learn so much,” said Golden Sierra High School teacher Amara Smallwood. “I learned so much about forestry, had a great time and got to bond with my classmates,” added Adan Mendoza, a GSHS junior. Ponderosa High School teacher Angela Personeni called the challenge a “wonderful opportunity for students to engage in real world problem solving and address challenges faced on much of California’s forested lands.” Julian Johnson, a senior at El Dorado High School, summed up, “Forestry Challenge gives all of the participating students the amazing and unique opportunity to learn what it means to be in forestry. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that is curious to learn more about the profession — you won’t be disappointed.”

A growing challenge The Forestry Challenge is an academic event for high school students in technical forestry and current forestry topics. Since its inception in 2003, the program has grown from one event to five — a complete buildout in California. Participants spend four days in the forest learning about the ecology and management of the forested landscapes that provide communities with water, recreational opportunities, wood products and wildlife habitat. Youth benefit by better understanding the relationship of the forested environment to their community, by exposure to natural resource management as a potential career option and by undertaking a rigorous critical thinking exercise which is timely and addresses current forestry topics such as wildfire, insects and forest health. The goals are to: • Teach students the basic principles of forestry, connecting classroom math and science to hands-on experiences with realworld applications, enabling them to n

Senior pets make great additions to the family Best Friends Animal Society News release
N
ovember isn’t just for Thanksgiving and all things pumpkin spice to be celebrated. It’s also Adopt a Senior Pet Month, highlighting amazing dogs and cats “of a certain age” awaiting new homes at a shelter near you. “Senior pets can be among the most at-risk in shelters, so this is a great time to talk about why an older dog or cat just might be the best choice for your next best friend,” said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. “Some shelters categorize seniors starting as early as age 5, so they still have lots of life to share and love to give.” Whether you’re looking for an active senior to go on walks with or a couch potato to help keep you company, there are plenty of older dogs and cats that are waiting for a second chance as a fantastic family member. “Many senior pets are used to being in a home, so they tend to have great manners, once they’re introduced to their new routine and surroundings,” said veterinarian Erin Katribe, medical director for Best Friends Animal Society. That’s just one of the reasons Best Friends recommends looking at a senior dog or cat when you’re in the market to adopt. Here are four more: • Sure, puppies and kittens are cute, but they also need to be trained, socialized and can be a bit unpredictable when being handled (especially by children). That’s a time and energy investment some families may not be comfortable with. Instead, a shelter adoption counselor may be able recommend an older animal with a positive history of living with youngsters and being housebroken. • Senior pets are far less likely to be destructive to the belongings in your home than younger dogs and cats. Instead of having to go through that annoying chewing and destruction phase, most older pets just want to hang out with their people and their toys or find a cozy spot in the sun to curl up for a nap. • You know exactly what you’re getting with a senior pet. Their size, weight and personality are already developed, so you can choose them for what they are rather than what you hope they’ll be when they group up. • Looking for a specific breed? It’s often easy to find older purebred pets looking for new homes through shelters or breed rescue groups. If you’re concerned about adopting an older dog or cat due to potential health issues, it’s important to discuss the pet’s history with shelter staff. “Shelters do intake exams upon admission and review any historical notes the pet may arrive with. Based on that history and any veterinary n

Adopting a senior dog or cat can be a rewarding effort. Older animals are often better trained and just want to be loved.

Rabies prevention: 5 tips to protect you and your dogs Family Features Around the world every year an estimated 59,000 people die from rabies following a bite or scratch from an infected dog, according to the World Health Organization; almost half of them children younger than 15. With preventive steps, including vaccination, you can protect your human and canine family members. In large areas of the world rabies continues to be a serious health issue. Of the estimated 900 million dogs around the world, the majority (75-85%) are not household pets. In the countries where rabies is a continued threat and outbreaks continue, both owned and un-owned dogs may be at risk if they are not receiving rabies vaccinations. Many areas where rabies outbreaks continue have limited access to resources and vaccines, and awareness and education about the disease are often low. Learn more about this preventable disease and how you can stop its spread with these tips from the experts at MSD Animal Health’s Afya Program.
What is rabies? Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease (a disease that can be passed from animals to humans) that causes fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, not only in wild animals but also domestic animals and humans. The rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite

or scratch. In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for human rabies infections. The time it takes to show symptoms of rabies depends on the distance the virus has to travel from the bite site to the brain. If someone gets bitten on a toe, it could take weeks or even months to show symptoms, but if bitten on the face he or she could become rabid in just a few days. Once symptoms are present, the disease is 100% fatal. Symptoms include anxiety, confusion, partial paralysis, agitation, aggression, hyper-salivation, difficulty swallowing, fear of water and eventually,
Use caution with unfamiliar dogs Generally, it’s best to avoid approaching unfamiliar dogs. This is especially true of dogs sleeping, eating or caring for puppies, as they may be startled or protective if they sense a threat. If you encounter a dog you do not know, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cautions against n

When making their bids, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount
in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $84,745.72.

The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others after a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.

THE PETITION for probate requests that CAROL JACOBSEN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: November 17, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 4 at 1354 Johnson Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.

running and screaming and instead suggests avoiding direct eye contact and remaining motionless. Watch for warning behaviors from the dog such as growling, snapping, showing teeth, raised hair on its back, ears back and rigid posture.
Vaccinate your dogs Through vaccination of dogs, rabies is 100% preventable. You can do your part by ensuring
your dog stays current on its rabies vaccination, which is administered by a veterinarian in either one-year or three-year doses.
Get medical attention If someone has been bitten or scratched by a suspected rabid dog and may have been exposed to rabies, a vaccination can be part of the treatment. However, it’s important to immediately
wash the wound for 15 minutes with soap and running water. This can help remove and inactivate any virus which may have been inoculated. The postexposure vaccination course will depend on your prior vaccination history, so you’ll need to consult your doctor or visit the emergency room for immediate medical care. Find more information about preventing and eliminating rabies at afya.org.

assessments done during the pet’s shelter stay, staff can tell you if the pet needs specific medication, food, supplements or more frequent veterinary visits,” Katribe said. One great way to see if a senior pet is right for you is to foster the dog or cat first. Most shelters and rescues provide all necessary supplies and medical care during a foster period. If you fall in love and can commit full-time, that foster can transition to an adoption. “We call that a foster win and it’s definitely something to celebrate,” Katribe said.
