Police hold Seeing red … and orange out for ‘clear understanding’ in boy’s death Krysten Kellum Associate editor It’s been 10 months since an 11-year-old boy, who weeks before had moved to Placerville with his family, was reported missing and hours later was found dead. The investigation into Roman Lopez’ Roman Lopez death continues. Placerville Chief of Police Joseph “It is imperative Wren on Monday we set emotion told the Mountain Democrat a aside and “very active, thoroughly suspicious death investigate investigation” involving several the case, not different law rushing or cutting enforcement and forensic agencies is corners. This is still ongoing. “Our investigators not a cold case.” are working closely — Joseph Wren, with experts to not Placerville chief of police only determine what occurred at the time of Roman’s death but to also provide a more clear understanding on what events led up to this suspicious death,” said Wren. The night Roman went missing, Jan. 11, local law enforcement and volunteers searched neighborhoods surrounding the home at 2892 Coloma St. where Roman’s father, Jordan Piper, and his wife Lindsey had moved from Michigan with eight children in tow. The next day Placerville police broke the news the young boy had been found but it was not until an afternoon press conference it was learned Roman was found deceased. No other information was shared at that time. Now 45 weeks later Placerville police officials say they are still not ready to reveal n

FALL FROM ORANGE — Red maple trees and Boston ivy at New Wine Christian Fellowship church in Placerville have teamed up to turn the corner of Bee Street and Highway 49 orange and red since the rest of the county seems to have gone purple (purple tier that is after the state assigned El Dorado County to the most restrictive of color-coded reopening tiers amid the coronavirus pandemic). The virus obviously can’t stop Mother Nature’s magic as fall color throws a vibrant splash across the Western Slope.
Resolution would push for local coronavirus response Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors took up a resolution Tuesday as a follow-up to an Oct. 29 conference of north state leaders to “seek common ground on topics such as the reopening of the economy and civic life, the reopening of our schools and actions in response to the state of California’s threat to withhold entitled funds of the counties.” Last month supervisors were unable to agree on who should attend the conference in place of Supervisor Brian Veerkamp, who due to a schedule confict was unable to attend, so as the chair of the board, Veerkamp asked Sheriff John D’Agostini to attend. Out of the conference came the following resolution, which the board was asked to discuss, vote on, and if
approved, send to the state: 1. That our county is best served by an ability to respond locally to the COVID-19 virus in accordance with our local data and circumstances, as specified, for instance, in the attestation filed with the California Department of Public Health. 2. That our county is geographically diverse and ill-suited for the county-wide restrictions imposed by the “blueprint for a safer economy” and the state should enable our COVID-19 response to be tailored to geographically separate areas, such as different zip codes, as circumstances and case levels warrant. 3. That school districts in our jurisdiction are urged to safely open all schools as soon as possible and provide in-person instruction to the greatest extent n

Formula business snatches up old Combellack’s spot n Therapy Stores now
waits for city’s OK Thomas Frey Staff writer
Mountain Democrat photo by Thomas Frey
The city Planning Commission will vote Dec. 1 on whether to allow Therapy Stores a conditional use permit to operate at 339 Main St. where Combellack’s did business for more than a century. Therapy Stores is considered a formula business because there are more than five locations and formula businesses are required to have a conditional permit in the Central Business District of Placerville.

After more than an hour of listening to public comments on the topic of issuing a conditional use permit to allow a formula business at 339 Main St. in historical downtown Placerville, the city Planning Commission adjourned and will vote on the topic at its Dec. 1 meeting. If allowed, Therapy Stores would take over the same building where Combellack’s did business for more than a century. Therapy Stores started with one store in San Francisco in 1994 and there are now 11 locations, most of which are in small downtowns like Livermore, Folsom and Pleasanton. Others are in big cities like Oakland,
San Francisco and Portland, Ore. Because there are more than five locations Therapy Stores qualifies as a formula business. A formula business is defined as “any business with a proposed or existing exterior design that is essentially identical to five or or more other business sites using the same or similar name or identity” in an ordinance adopted by the City Council in 2004. In order for a formula business to do business in the Central Business District of Placerville, a conditional use permit and site plan review must be approved by the Planning Commission. More than 50 people — mostly residents of Placerville — called or sent letters in to the commission, stating why bringing in a formula business like Therapy Stores would n

Dolores Kimsey Sawyer
May 13, 1928 - Oct. 16, 2020
Dolores Kimsey Sawyer, 92, of Cameron Park passed away peacefully in her sleep the morning of Oct. 16, 2020. Her final days were spent surrounded by her loving family. Dolores “Dee” was born on May 13, 1928 in Rockford, Ill. She was the daughter of Velnie and Lawrence Supry. Dee was an only child but made many lifetime friendships that were like family to her. Her favorite memory as a teenager was her family getting a home telephone. She loved talking on the phone with friends and family throughout her life. While she was in high school, her first job was a telephone operator. After high school, Dee moved to California with her parents. She met David Kimsey in 1946 and they were married Aug. 15, 1948 in Sacramento where they raised five daughters. While Dee worked part time in sales, customer service and real estate, her No. 1 job was taking care of her children. She was a wonderful mother, always making holidays, birthdays and vacations special. She enjoyed summer camping at the ocean and cooking for any event that came her way. Dee loved people and after her children were grown she went to work for Federal Express in customer service. Once Dave retired, they moved to their beautiful mountain home in Pollock Pines in 1988. Dee and Dave traveled and especially loved the National Parks. They enjoyed their grandchildren playing in the snow and picnicking at Sly Park. She was an amazing grandmother. She loved to spend time and cook for her grandchildren creating many forever memories. She was so proud of them and was a major influence in their lives. After Dave passed away, Dee moved to Gold Country Retirement Apartments where she met Will Sawyer. They were married in 2005 and spent six years together traveling and enjoying life until Will passed away in 2011. Dolores was preceded in death by her parents, Velnie and Lawrence Supry; husbands, David Kimsey and Willis Sawyer; daughter, Donna Kimsey; grandson, David Bottorf; and son-in-laws, Bill Bottorf (Kathleen), Ronnie Klein (Carol) and Bob Bailey (Sharon). Dolores is survived by daughters, Carol Klein, Diane Sinetos (Dave), Kathleen Gates (Don), Sharon Sager (Dan) and Karen Major (Ron); grandchildren, Katie, Jacob, Nicholas, Michael, Robert, Michelle and Krista and greatgrandchildren, Anthony, Jackson, Joseph, Ronnie, Athena, Hunter, Duane, Bella and Preston. Dolores felt lucky to have inherited stepsons, Steve Sawyer (Lynn), Jeff Sawyer (Karrin) and Greg Sawyer who gave her additional happiness late in her life. Dolores was the most kind, generous and helpful person. She was nonjudgmental and loving to everyone. She will be deeply missed by all the lives she touched. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Snowline Hospice, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, CA 95619 or at snowlinehospice.org. Please join us in remembering “Dee,” by visiting our memorial at chapelofthepinesfunerals.com.

Lyle ‘Red’ McAtee
Sept. 22, 1937 - Aug. 18, 2020
On Aug. 18, 2020, Lyle ‘Red’ McAtee passed away peacefully in his home, after many years of battling COPD, with his loving family, Sue, Robin, Martin and son-in-law Mark, by his side. Born in Hannibal, Mo., to Laura Dawson and Burton McAtee in 1937, Lyle was the eldest of seven children. His siblings were Leota Bergstrom (deceased), Patti Callen (deceased), Paul McAtee, Roger McAtee (deceased), Larry McAtee and Joan Owens. Lyle’s family moved frequently in his early years finally settling in the Bay Area in the 1940’s. Red developed his love of cars during these formative years. In 1958, Lyle met Sue Logan while cruising and hanging out with friends at Mattson’s Creamery in Concord, Calif. In August 1959 they were married, settling in Concord while Red worked at Jefferson’s Motors. Soon thereafter, they welcomed their daughter, Robin. In 1964, Red and Sue welcomed a son, Martin. In 1966, the family relocated to Placerville. When asked about the move, Red always said, “it was just too crowded in the Bay Area.” With a growing family to support, Red returned to his previous occupation as an ironworker like his father before him. He remained in the challenging profession until his retirement in 1992. Over the course of his career, he worked on many large-scale projects from the Bay Area up to the Lake Tahoe region and beyond. It was not uncommon for Red to point to a building or bridge while driving around say, “You see that structure over there, I worked on that.” In 1980, Red welcomed his first and only grandchild, Brad Howard. Brad spent a lot of time with his grandpa while growing up, eventually attending car shows with him. In his later years, Red also spent a lot of time with Brad’s family (wife, Lauren, and their three sons; Wylen, Maxwell and Parker). In retirement, Red was able to focus on his love of cars and his friendships. As a result, he began frequenting cars shows, a perfect combination of the two. Ultimately, he completed his 1936 green Ford pickup to show himself. The “Little Truck” was his signature. Everyone knew, if they saw the Little Truck, Red was in the area. Lyle ‘Red’ McAtee was hard working, honest and loyal. He cared deeply for his family and friends and was always ready to lend a hand. He was a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather and he found great joy spending time with his family and friends. Red will be deeply missed.

André Montie FreyThomas
March 27, 1970 - Nov. 12, 2020
Born in Cleveland but raised primarily in Seattle, André was always an independent soul. Emancipated as a teen, he initially dropped out of high school to support himself, but soon recognized the value of finishing and got his GED. He would go on eventually to attend college, as well. André wanted to be a chef when he was young and, with an intense amount of hustle and bravado, convinced the executive chef at Columbia Tower Club in Seattle to hire him. He worked his way up from crew to roast and grill chef to saucier, all with no formal training or education in cuisine. His passion for the craft was evident in the awards he earned from the club. In his time there, he created meals for the likes of Bill Gates, Al Gore, Rutger Hauer, and other notables. In 1992 André met Elizabeth, and they quickly became inseparable. When he proposed in 1993 he looked at his future as a family man, and made the decision to leave his culinary career and pursue a position that had the stability and schedule that would allow him to dedicate time to his loved ones. He married Elizabeth in 1994 and while he left professional cooking, he never lost the desire to improve and learn in the kitchen. For his entire life he was known for incredible meals, which he took great pleasure in creating for family and friends. André and Elizabeth often hosted parties and André would carefully plan and execute elaborate food spreads to honor his guests. The passion he had for great cuisine also led him to seek out many of the best restaurants, and try all sorts of new culinary styles. After leaving the CTC, André began a career in a different part of the food industry. He accepted a position with Safeway, initially in store management. He was quickly tapped to move to the supply side of the business as a supervisor with Safeway Milk. As he worked his way up in the dairy processing industry, he went on to work first for Darigold, and then for the last 17 years, for HP Hood. He was known for his problem solving abilities, management skills and quick understanding of unfolding situations. Especially during his years with HP Hood, he developed many enduring friendships and professional relationships, which he valued greatly. André’s respect was hard to earn and closely kept. The people in his circle of friends are all individuals with talent, drive and compassion. André’s proudest achievements were based in family. With the birth of a daughter, Kendall, in 1995, and a son, Harrison, in 1998, André and Elizabeth became parents to two charming, intelligent and witty individuals who mirror their father’s talents, infectious smile, and kindness every day. He was immensely proud of being their Dad, and never missed an opportunity to tell people of their achievements. He was assiduous in trying to provide for them the stability, love and respect he didn’t always have in his own childhood. His legacy is long and well-founded in them. André is survived by his wife and best friend of 26 years, Elizabeth, his daughter Kendall, his son Harrison, Elizabeth’s parents and siblings who were like his own, his mother Candice Castoriano, two sisters, two brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as a cohort of friends who were like family to him. Four and a half years after his cancer diagnosis, André Frey-Thomas slipped from life, surrounded by his family. He never wanted the disease to define him, but hoped his friends and family would remember him when they push themselves to achieve their far-reaching goals, when they take pride in a job well done and when they enjoy a great meal with their loved ones. Online tributes can be placed through Chapel of the Pines, in Placerville. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, Dec. 5 at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Placerville. The rosary will begin at 10:30 a.m., with the mass following at 11 a.m. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, there will be no reception. In lieu of flowers, André’s family asks that his friends and family consider a donation in his memory to neuroendocrine cancer research, under the direction of Dr. Pamela Kunz at the following address. Please write “Dr. Kunz” in the memo, with your gift. Yale Cancer Center, P.O. Box 7611, 157 Church St., New Haven, CT 06519.

California Matters
How long will Newsom have one-man rule?
C
alifornia has been a one-party state for the last decade, with Democratic governors and supermajorities in both legislative houses doing pretty much as they pleased without paying any attention to the relative handful of DAN WALTERS Republican legislators. However, one-party rule gave way to one-man rule eight months ago when Gov. Gavin Newsom declared an emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus empowering himself to govern by decree and suspend any laws that stood in his way. Democratic legislators were fully complicit, even suspending their proceedings and abandoning Sacramento for months. Eventually, however, even they chafed a bit at Newsom’s seeming endless string of emergency orders. In effect, some of those orders essentially made new law and while Democratic lawmakers stood by, two Republican legislators, Kevin Kiley and James Gallagher, filed suit, alleging that Newsom had gone too far. Last week, Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman sided with the Republicans, declaring that Newsom’s order changing procedures for the November election, including a mandate that every voter be sent a mail ballot, crossed the line. Although the Legislature later ratified the election changes, Heckman California Gov. Gavin wrote that it was Newsom has been still important to governing under an place limits on a governor’s powers emergency decree under the California for eight months Emergency Services but one judge says Act. Heckman indicated that in he’s crossed the line her final ruling, she by ignoring state would permanently laws. enjoin Newsom from issuing any order “which amends, alters, or changes existing statutory law or makes new statutory law or legislative policy.” “The doctrine of the separation of powers prohibits any of the three branches of government exercising the complete power constitutionally vested in another or exercising power in a way which undermines the authority and independence of another,” Heckman, who was elected in 2012, wrote. The law empowering a governor to declare an emergency and suspend laws that impeded a rapid response was clearly aimed at some immediate catastrophe such as a flood, an earthquake or a riot. It envisioned something like then-Gov. Pete Wilson’s suspension of contract bidding laws to quickly rebuild a major freeway after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. COVID-19 required a rapid response, but it’s also

Letters to the Editor Bribery EDITOR: ow much of the coronavirus hype is due to bribery? Are hospitals paid to label deaths as due to COVID-19? Are officials, such as Doctor Fauci, involved with pharmaceutical companies that plan to profit from vaccines? Are several viruses, such as ebola and swine flu, protected by patents? I believe the answer is yes to these questions. For any natural thing, such as a virus, to receive a patent, proof of change not caused naturally must be presented in the patent application. So Monsanto, for example, had to demonstrate that changes made in its seeds were created by scientific gene splicing in order to patent those seeds. The same process applies to patents for viruses. Doctors in India discovered that genes from AIDS had been spliced into the regular coronavirus to make COVID-19 more dangerous, thus permitting it to be patented. So who benefits from releasing a deadly virus into society? Who benefits from harming small businesses? Who benefits by keeping healthy people confined to their homes, unable to gather in protest against house arrest? Follow the money. The top one-tenth wealthiest people have profited the most from the closure of local businesses during this lockdown. These are the billionaire members of the Bilderberg group who want one world government. These are people who use their money to get their own way at our expense. As an avowed conspiratorialist, I believe we are being “played” by individuals who want to control us. Please do your own research regarding this letter. I am very opinionated and quite imperfect but have not been bribed. CECIL RINGGENBERG Placerville

Marxism, masks and Edgar Allen Poe EDITOR: ichard Esposito, in Publisher’s Ink, Oct. 9, writes, “Beware the deceitful mask of Marxism,” politicizing the wearing of masks. Esposito likens President Donald Trump’s message about masks, “Don’t let it dominate you,” to President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II,
R
“The only thing we need to fear is fear itself.” However, the truth of history and science prevail. Wearing a mask during these times of real-life pandemic can save lives with neither fear nor domination having anything to do with it. In his column Mr. Esposito speaks of Edgar Allen Poe’s famous short story, “The Masque of the Red Death.” He states, “The plague today is Marxism and if we’re not careful we won’t need to worry when and where to wear our masks. Death of our civil liberties is at risk.” Perhaps Richard Esposito should do a closer reading of Poe’s short story. This tale is about humanity during a plague time where inequity and denial rage strong. The tragic flaw of the main character, Prince Prospero, is his arrogance. He is insensitive to the plight of his countrymen and sequesters in the abbey with his entourage dismissing the plague “as barbaric luster.” However, when the masked specter of death confronts Prospero, this Prince’s denial is unmasked, his denial a defense mechanism against his fear. Poe’s last sentence in his cautionary tale: “And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” LARA GULARTE Diamond Springs
Offense EDITOR: n the paper I see that Julie Robinson is beating the drum again over the hangman’s noose. Some people make being offended their life’s work. They live to find things offensive. They like the lowest common denominator. They see something like the hangman’s noose, which was used to hang the murderer of a white man and therefore has no racist basis, and instead of promoting education and knowledge they want things dumbed down thereby catering to the ignorant. They defend ignorance at all costs. What’s next, Ms. Robinson? The baseball team of the San Francisco Spatially Challenged so as not to offend those large people afflicted with gigantism? And we can’t have San Francisco or San Diego because in Spanish that would be Saint Francisco and Saint Diego thereby offending atheists ... and states with names like Indiana, which could offend

for special exemptions supposedly aimed only at big business. Voters know that once Prop. 13 suffers a single chip in its exterior then the entire pillar is primed for collapse. This time it was big (and small) businesses in the crosshairs, but next election cycle it will be homes worth more than $2 million, then homes worth $1 million, then assessments every 20 years, then they will be coming after your home. A Prop. 13 patchwork of gradually shrinking exclusions would soon exist only as a memory. I’ve spent nearly two decades in public service as a taxpayer advocate and champion of Prop. 13. The law is a savior for overtaxed Californians. It’s saved homeowners and business property owners billions over the past 42 years and provided them with a stable, predictable bill every year, allowing for planning and budgeting and eliminating the tax spikes the led to closed storefronts and seniors losing their homes in the 1970s. Prop. 13’s enduring effectiveness is what makes it a constant target.
A check on taxes is also a check on government growth and a boon for the economy. Defeating Prop. 15 will keep more than $11 billion a year out of government slush funds and in the pockets of business owners who can use it to expand, invest and hire more employees. That is critical as California businesses scramble to stay alive and rebuild out of the pandemic. To create a vibrant post-COVID economy, we must be partners in prosperity with our private sector. Defeating Prop. 15 stops our tax climate from getting worse and everyone interested in a thriving California economy should celebrate its loss, for now, but be ready to defend Prop. 13 again in 2022. Sen. Ted Gaines (ret.) was elected to represent the Board of Equalization’s 1st District. He is a leading taxpayer advocate and is committed to providing trustworthy and transparent representation for nearly ten million constituents in 30 counties of northern, eastern and southern California.

something that could last, in one form or another, for years. Conceivably, Newsom could continue governing under his emergency decree for the remainder of his first four-year term. Even before pandemic struck, Newsom was prone to sidestepping laws that could impede whatever he might want to do. He boasts, for instance, of ignoring state law when, as mayor of San Francisco, he unilaterally authorized same-sex marriages. More recently, he declared that there would be no executions of murderers during his governorship even though California’s death penalty is still law — one that voters refused to repeal just four years ago. Newsom claims moral imperative as justification for his acts, but if elected officials ignore laws they don’t happen to like or find inconvenient, they undermine the concept of governance under law and encourage disrespect for legal authority. Ironically, this is the same governor who demands
that 40 million Californians obey his pandemic decrees, such as shutting down small businesses. Judge Heckman’s order will certainly be appealed and the issue will probably wind up in the state Supreme Court. Newsom press secretary Jesse Melgar said Newsom and his advisers “strongly disagree” with “specific limitations” on the governor’s emergency authority. Meanwhile, it’s time for the entire Legislature, not just Kiley and Gallagher, to reassert its co-equal authority rather than allowing Newsom to operate indefinitely as a one-man band. The law that gives Newsom the authority to declare an emergency also allows the Legislature, on its own, to end such an order.

The Spring Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Placerville is moving along with vehicles now able to drive on a newly paved portion of Spring Street from Coloma to Tunnel streets. The work on Spring Street began Sept. 28 and is expected to conclude in December. Placerville City Engineer Rebecca Neves said crews are beginning the second stage, from Tunnel to Pleasant streets this week, addressing the storm drain system. Weather permitting, construction crews will continue to move east to make improvements to utilities and work toward more paving shortly thereafter.

details about Roman’s death, including who found the body, under what circumstances or the findings of an autopsy performed Jan. 14. “Not a day goes by that we do not think about Roman. Many of the officers working on this case are parents with children Roman’s age. It is imperative we set emotion aside and thoroughly investigate the case, not rushing or cutting corners. This is not a cold case,” said Wren. Neighbors say the family has since moved back to the Midwest. Stuffed animals, balloons, photos of Roman and other trinkets left in the boy’s memory outside the downtown Placerville home for months are now gone but the community has not forgotten the loss of life at such a young age. Social media groups continue to chatter about the “suspicious” death, calling for more information, calling for closure. Neighbors have been working on a memorial garden since July.
A garden in memory of 11-year-old Roman Lopez, whose Jan. 11 death is the subject of an ongoing “suspicious death” investigation, sits behind the Placerville home where the boy briefly lived. Neighbors and members of the community have helped put the garden together. Courtesy photo
“The garden is our way to honor Roman’s memory and keep hope alive for justice,” said Leah David, who with husband Jon built much of the garden in their backyard that sits behind the Placerville home where Roman lived. Community members have
donated plants and materials and one follower of the Roman Lopez memorial garden Facebook page made a birdbath. Leah said she sends photos of the garden every week to Roman’s biological mother Rochelle Lopez, who lives in Wisconsin.

be good or bad for Placerville. These messages started rolling in when the item was first announced on the Nov. 3 Planning Commission agenda. Mo Marie lives in Mendocino County but said she comes back to visit her hometown multiple times per year. One of her favorite pastimes is going shopping on Main Street. She said she looked at the Therapy Stores website and noticed many of the products are the same exact products sold at other stores. Jenny Levitsky, who owns Kitchen Goods on Main Street, said she noticed that as well, noting all the cookbooks, cheese boards and drinkware sold at her store are also sold by Therapy Stores. “A lot of other stores have the exact stuff that (Therapy Stores) has and we are all going to be hurt by it,” Levitsky said. “You have 80% of what I have in my store. I’m probably not going to last after you come in.” Multiple business owners in downtown Folsom, including John Voelz, who owns Reset: Cafe by Day on Sutter Street, said they have been happy Therapy Stores brought its business to their historical downtown. Voelz said he vehemently dislikes chain stores and avoids them at all costs but Therapy Stores was different and he sees how good the owners and employees treat the customers coming
Local response possible without further delay. 4. That our county requests an extension of time beyond Dec. 31 to encumber and spend our federal CARES funds, to which we are entitled by law, consistent with our respective local plans and programs. Those calling into the meeting to comment on the resolution included El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Laurel Brent-Bumb and El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce President/ Chief Executive Officer Debbie Manning. Supporting the resolution, Brent-Bumb suggested sending it to the federal government as well as the state with Manning saying the county needed to take the impact to businesses from the shutdowns seriously. Supervisors failed to agree on any immediate action and instead asked staff to return to the Dec. 15 board meeting with a new resolution that included a reference to the importance of school sports for children. That motion was approved on a 5-0 vote. Supervisors also talked about the county’s move Tuesday to the most restrictive purple tier along with all but 17 counties in the state. In her report to the board El Dorado County Public Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams noted the adjudication request to keep the county in the orange tier after learning last week it would be bumped to the red tier had not been approved by the state. A seven-day average of 8.2 positive cases per 100,000 people actually moved the county past both orange and red and into the purple tier where the threshold is seven cases per 100,000 people. In the discussion that followed Supervisor John Hidahl said instead of using the state’s approach of onesize-fits-all, he favored individuals doing their own risk assessment, saying he worried about the impact of the state’s restrictions on businesses, increasing homelessness and the long-term impact on school-aged children. “Where is the balancing act?” he asked, adding that he was concerned

into the store. “While they have multiple stores they aren’t the kind of chain that sells out to franchisees with a thirst of expansion,” Voelz said. “I’m so glad they’re across the street from us. I think Therapy Stores would be a fine addition to Placerville.” Jing Chen and Wayne Whelan own Therapy Stores and Chen said she takes pride in the fact they have support from all of the downtown merchants associations they are a part of. “We’re not some giant Costco or Walmart,” Chen said. “All of our locations are in small towns and in historical downtowns.” Chen and Whelan said they started their business out of a garage before opening up their first location in San Francisco. She added that the pair has never taken outside funding. Chen also has ties to the Gold Rush era. Born in China, she said she lived there until she was 18 but her greatgrandfather left China to come to California during the Gold Rush. The rest of his family remained in China and her great-grandfather was never heard from again. Chen and Whelan said they were intrigued by the location and purchased the property — originally built in 1856 — in October.

Continued from A1 the consequences of the shutdown could be more severe than the disease itself. Williams responded that the state is not currently considering a risk assessment approach and it might be difficult for individuals to assess their own personal risk especially when they may have the disease and be asymptomatic. Supervisor Veerkamp agreed with Hidahl, saying individuals need to do their own risk assessment. Survival rates in El Dorado County are 99.6%, in California 98.5% and nationwide a little less than that, he noted. Veerkamp said he worried about the long-term impacts of lockdowns. Purple is the strictest tier in terms of what businesses can and can’t do. Wineries and restaurants must move their operations

outdoors, despite the increasingly chilly and wet weather, and retail stores must reduce capacity to 25%. Churches must hold services outside. Hair salons and barbershops, nail salons, tattoo parlors and body waxing businesses are allowed to stay open with modifications. Bars, pubs, brewpubs and breweries may operate outdoors if they offer sit-down, outdoor meals. Outdoor operations may be conducted under a tent or canopy or other shelter as long as no more than one side is closed. The restrictions became effective at noon on Tuesday, according to El Dorado County officials. A travel advisory was also issued by the state, urging out-of-state travelers to undergo a 14-day voluntary quarantine.

■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Are you mistaking a temporary arrangement for a permanent one? If you are living under the delusion of being stuck in a situation, stars bring you sweet relief now as they now align to indicate the fallacy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The obstacles of the day do not need to be smashed through. The difficulties needn’t be broken down. A gentle approach will win not only the day but the month. What can be bent? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many forms of deception hold no evil intent. Just as some animals change their colors to avoid being eaten, you’ll come across people who create illusions to survive and thrive. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are still being much too hard on yourself. Change that. If you believe that you have a right to grow, then you must also believe that you have a right to make a few mistakes, as that is the price of growth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your brain loves a workout, and today serves up a training that seems custom-made by a time traveler as it perfectly caters to the needs and wants of your future self. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you think about the times you felt most alive yesterday, what were you doing? It’s a clue about where you can find more of the vitality you’ll need to get in the zone today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You consider your com-
mitments first and your own desires second. Because of this instinctive order, you will not get to your own desires if you keep taking on new commitments. Be careful in this regard today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of the solutions for creating a better life are so obvious that they are easy to miss, though today’s stars point them out. For instance, you can immunize yourself against stress with regular exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know what it’s like to be defeated. The knowledge of that lower limit is golden because anything above the limit is fair game. When you’re well-matched, you fight hard and win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most people are so easy for you to win over that when faced with a tough cookie, you love the challenge. Your mind immediately races for a way to reach, inspire and open the person up. It will probably take a few tries. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make your environment work for you. Structure it in a way that keeps you focused on the things that you want to do and be. Decide where you should be “looking” and nix the distractions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A little recipe can be a big deal. This is why secret instructions for making things like Coca-Cola or Kentucky Fried Chicken are locked away. Your way of creating success is a kind of sacred recipe and should be protected as such.

Miller is a former teacher who taught several different grades, primarily in high school. During quarantine ■

Florida mom-of-two Shannon Q. McDonald wanted to find a way to tell her kids about face masks in kidfriendly language while also making them laugh at the same time. Her new full-color children’s picture book for kids ages 2-6 years old describes and illustrates the different styles of masks, characters that wear them, when you can wear them and interesting ways to use them. Colorful and funny illustrations bring the book to life and will have kids giggling on the floor.
The holidays are typically a season of unbridled merriment and joy. However, this year’s celebrations are going to look a bit different. Recognizing the challenges this year’s holiday season will bring, New Jersey mom A.H. Edelman was inspired to write “Santa in a Snow Globe,” an illustrated children’s book offering parents, caregivers and children (ages 4-12) a starting point to talk about life’s new realities — explained by Santa — with timeless advice, inclusive illustrations and a dose of Christmas cheer.
When author Cassie Hoyt noticed her 3-year-old son struggling to understand why he couldn’t see his grandparents during the pandemic, she decided to write her second children’s book, “I Miss You Most,” as an entertaining way for children to lift their spirits by stirring up family memories and sparking their imagination to dream up new adventures. “I Miss You Most” features catchy rhymes and vibrant, colorful illustrations — all the while the perfect inspirational antidote for children (ages 4-8).

The new education center at Wakamatsu Farm will feature “green” design.
New education center coming to Wakamatsu Melissa Lobach American River Conservancy American River Conservancy will break ground on a new education center at Wakamatsu Farm during Open Farm Day at noon Saturday, Nov. 21. The innovative, pavilion-style structure will adjoin the native plant nursery, nature play space, fruit orchard and teahouse within an area called the Outdoor Learning Campus at Wakamatsu Farm. Each year the building will serve approximately 1,400 visitors as they learn, explore and play outside the traditional classroom at the historical farm. Architectural Nexus of Sacramento designed the new building to demonstrate “green” technologies. Solar panels and a rainwater catchment system will illustrate how easy it is to harness renewable resources and conserve precious water. When complete, the structure will inspire students and visitors to take these solutions to their homes, classrooms and workplaces. The open-air building is a visionary solution accommodating visitors of all ages and abilities while they explore the natural, agricultural and cultural resources of the scenic 272acre farm. Encompassing rolling fields, woodlands and walking trails, Wakamatsu Farm is the site of the first Japanese colony in America established in 1869. The conservancy owns and offers the farm to the public during private and public tours, events, classes and festivals.

Individuals can privately rent portions the farm, including an historical farmhouse, commercial kitchen and eventually the new education center. The far-sighted structure will remain an asset for communities within the greater Sacramento region for generations to come. ARC has secured approximately $300,000 in funding for Phase 1 construction, which will provide a sheltered, open-air space for greeting visitors and hosting educational programs. Funding has come from California State Parks, Schwemm Family Foundation and many generous individual donors. Local contractors have been selected to complete Phase 1 construction of this project. However, Phase 1 construction does not include electricity or restrooms. Fundraising is under way to add these amenities during Phase 2 construction. ARC welcomes donations for Phase 2 completion, including funds, building materials and construction services. The public is welcome to attend the brief ground breaking ceremony during the Nov. 21 Open Farm Day when visitors can also tour the farm ($10 donation per car). The ceremony will include the fourth installation of engraved plaques recognizing major supporters on the Donor Wall of Honor at Wakamatsu Farm.

buttered and salty ‘Moonstruck’ HHHH 1987, PG, 1 hour, 42 minutes Comedy, Drama, Romance Now available on Criterion DVD/Blu Ray and streaming on Amazon Prime Joshua B. Porter ho’s dead?” Democrat correspondent When Cher’s Loretta Castorini wakes up her mother, Rose, played by Olympia Dukakis, to tell her the news that she’s getting married (again) those are the first words she utters after opening her eyes. The idea of death seems to be an almost celebrated obsession with the characters of Norman Jewison’s 1987 hit film “Moonstruck,” in the way that each older character seems to never let the idea go. They are Italian, after all. I should know; I am one. “Moonstruck” focuses on Loretta Castorini, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, New York, who finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she has agreed to marry. When this film came out in 1987 my grandmother took me to see it. I don’t recall her taking me to any other movies in my life. For all I know she did, but the only one I remember is “Moonstruck.” She once turned off “Return of the Jedi” because as a good Catholic woman she thought Darth Vader and The Emperor were “too evil” for me but I guess she was cool with the idea of Cher and Nicolas Cage getting busy on screen. Looking back, my grandmother loving this movie makes perfect sense — an Italian American family from The Bronx (where she was from) that is obsessed in equal measure over their religion (Catholicism) and death. That formula was an instant hit with Grandma. She thought the movie was hysterical. All these years
“W
later I do too and I think about her every time I see it. To start the holiday season off right, one of my favorite film distributors that focuses on important classic and contemporary films, The Criterion Collection, has just released a new DVD/Blu-Ray of “Moonstruck.” Like all Criterion discs the film has been given a lot of tender loving care. The movie itself has been given a full 4K digital restoration supervised by director Jewison to clean up the film print and remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris and scratches. This is easily the best the picture has looked since it graced screens 33 years ago. It also includes a commentary track featuring Jewison, Cher and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley, new and archival interviews, programs about the making of the film and its music and more. It’s a good collection of material for anyone who loves this film like I do. The film, of course, is the ultimate focus and it’s one I’m happy to say holds up extremely well. Great stories and characters always do. The script by Shanley is smart, emotional, funny without being slapsticky and poignant. It makes every character interesting, no matter how small. There’s a scene early in the picture where Cher’s Loretta goes to the corner liquor store to buy a small bottle of champagne to help break the news of her engagement to her parents. The husband and wife proprietors of the store are in a heated argument for most of the scene, until the man says something to the woman that reminds her of why she married him all those years ago. In the hands of a lesser writer or director these two characters would have throwaway dialog, if any at all. In “Moonstruck” they are memorable in what amounts to 48 seconds of screen time. In a movie full of couples, young and old, most eyes will look toward the performances of our “hero couple,” Loretta Castorini and Ronny Cammareri, played by Cher and Nicholas Cage, respectively. Cher was already
one of the biggest entertainers on the planet by 1987, having solidified her music career years earlier and was already gaining respect as an actress after turns in films like “Silkwood” (1983), “Mask” (1985) and “The Witches of Eastwick,” which dropped the same year as “Moonstruck.” Cage, on the other hand, was just starting to make a name for himself. He had appeared in “Peggy Sue Got Married” in 1986 and had a couple of notable small roles, but “Moonstruck” shot him into the stratosphere. Apparently the filmmakers and studio wanted a different actor for the role of Ronny and Cher threatened to quit if Cage wasn’t hired. They ultimately relented and Cage got the gig. She was smart to hold to her guns. Cage is a powerhouse in this film. Looking back, I can’t believe Cage had the Coen brothers’ “Raising Arizona” drop the same year as “Moonstruck.” That’s a heck of a 1987. A lot of people seem to forget that Cher is an Academy Award winning actress and she won it for this film. It’s well deserved, along with the other Oscars the film took home for Olympia Dukakis (Best Supporting Actress) and Best Original Screenplay. It was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture. As we enter the 2020 holiday season some will not be able to spend the time they hoped with loved ones due to factors outside of our control. For me, movies and the memories they bring are as important a staple of the season as Thanksgiving dinner or putting up the Christmas tree. “Moonstruck” may not get the typical “holiday movie” distinction, but it will always allow my Italian-American grandmother to be part of the season with us. Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the music video “When You Know” by the band Sunny State, can now be streamed on Youtube. He can be reached at @joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.

Miller and his daughter got creative and started drafting a poem about COVID-19. This poem soon evolved into a book. The overwhelming response from friends and family inspired Miller to reach out to a publisher and eventually an illustrator. The book features a COVID monster along with superhero frontline workers and scientists. Not only is the book full of informative, positive messages for children about the virus, it is illustrated with detailed artwork by Swapan Debnath of Kolkata,
India. “I thought it would be a good way to have a positive, optimistic outlook on the virus,” Miller said. The virus has created so many questions, especially for those with young kids who are wondering why they can’t visit their friends and grandparents, he continued, and by drawing a monster, it creates an image that kids could better understand. He said he also wants to encourage childnre to do their part and empower them by
realizing that not everything is out of their control. The book also highlights the good things that came out of quarantine such as having the time to cook, garden and get crafty while also making the most of the time with family. Another theme from the book is “we are all in this together” and we are all affected by this novel virus. “We can get through this — there will be an end to this,” he said. On Thursday, Nov. 12, Miller held a sociallydistanced book reading at the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe. In the multipurpose room Miller read the book from a projector on stage. “The Boys and Girls Club did great at following guidelines,” he said. “The kids all responded really well. They picked up on concepts and themes.” “Once upon a Quarantine” is available at local bookstores and most book retailers. A percentage of proceeds from all sales will go to benefit the BGCLT.

Brings smiles to a family in need The Center for Violence-free Relationships News release As the holidays approach, many feel a wonderful sense of joy as they look forward to anticipated festivities — decorating, baking, shopping and celebrating with family and friends. This year, especially, many look forward to enjoying time to curl up with a hot drink under a warm blanket to simply enjoy quiet moments of peace. At The Center for Violence-free Relationships, staff members are reminded that for many clients this time of year brings uncertainty, pain and sadness. Due to the current pandemic, many families served by the Center have experienced a great deal of loss, including jobs, homes and even loved ones. Clients who have experienced quarantine with abusive partners and spouses are uncertain about what this season means for them and their children. This year, more than ever, local families are searching for a reason to celebrate and are wondering if they can find joy. Community members can warm hearts again this year and make the holidays brighter by adopting one or more individuals and families. Spread love this season to others. Here is just one of the many thank you notes the Center received from clients last year: “Being the best mother and providing the best for my children is what is most important to me, but sometimes it really takes a village to find safety and love. You are my village and that means
everything to me. I cannot express my gratitude for your generosity.” Those interested in adopting an individual or a family, or want to donate to The Center’s Holiday Boutique Shopping Room. Donors should use the following checklist: • Number of individuals and/or number of families that you’d like to adopt • Please indicate family size • Any other special requests The Center anticipates having clients in need all the way through the holiday season and will provide wishlists along with all the details. Can’t adopt a family this year? Consider making a donation to the Adopt a Family Program and give the gift of the joy all year long. Any gift, large or small, can help families throughout the year. The community’s generous support of The Center’s mission means so much to clients. Make this holiday season one of joy for local individuals or families who have experienced sexual assault or domestic violence. For more information contact email AlyssaB@ TheCenterNow.org or call (530) 626-1450. The Center is recognized at the local, state and national level for its innovative, groundbreaking programs and its ability to provide essential services to families in need. As one of the only agencies of its kind that tracks, measures, verifies and reports the actual impact each program and service is having toward stopping the cycle of violence, The Center is empowering individuals to lives free from abuse.
