Pipers plead not guilty to new murder charges Thomas Frey Staff writer

Lindsay Piper sits with her attorney Matthew Johnson prior to pleading not guilty to a murder charge in the death of Roman Lopez.

Jordan and Lindsay Piper each pleaded not guilty Friday morning to a new murder charge in the death of 11-year-old Roman Lopez. The suspicion of murder comes after new interviews with the kids who were living at the Coloma Street house in Placerville with Roman, his father Jordan and stepmother Lindsay, according to El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney Jay Linden. Investigators traveled to the childrens’ new home in a different state. The attorneys representing Jordan and Lindsay each objected to the murder charge before Judge Vicki Ashworth in El Dorado County Superior Court’s Department 1. Roman was found dead in the Coloma Street house’s basement Jan. 12, 2020, the Pipers were arrested Feb. 3 on suspicion

of child abuse and torture and the added murder charges came Oct. 28. Linden said the other kids in the Pipers’ custody were interviewed for the first time since being out of the Pipers’ custody, revealing new information that called for the murder charges. Bail, which was more than $1 million for each of the Pipers, has been eliminated as Ashworth allowed the new murder charges added. Roman had moved to Placerville from Michigan in late 2019 with his father, stepmother and seven other children. When Roman was reported missing Placerville residents, search teams and the boy’s father were out searching the neighborhood late into the night. The next day — Jan. 12, 2020 — authorities said they searched the Pipers’ rented n

Eldorado National Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais speaks to attendees of a community meeting Nov. 10 at the Pollock PinesCamino Community Center on Caldor Fire firefighting success and recovery.

Leaders give behind-thescenes look at Caldor Fire Thomas Frey Staff writer Representatives from the U.S. Forest Service, Cal Fire, El Dorado Irrigation District and the El Dorado County Resource Conservation District held a community meeting in Pollock Pines Nov. 10 on the topic of Caldor Fire recovery now that the blaze is in the rearview mirror. “The fact that folks may not know unless you’re in the fire service is that the system was as taxed as it ever has been,” said Eldorado National Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. Dry fuel conditions this year

were setting all-time records for almost 60 days before the Caldor Fire began, according to Marsolais. He reported that the cause of the fire is still under investigation but that “it won’t be too long” until information is released.

Fire fuel reduction Speakers made the case that fuel treatments on the forest lessened Caldor’s destruction. Years before the Caldor Fire preparations were in place, such as the Caples Watershed Project that included a control burn to protect portions of El Dorado

County water supply, in addition to a forest-wide resilience strategy that removed fire fuels. “Once you have an area that has had those fuels removed, burning them and maintaining those areas is pretty easy,” said Mark Egbert of the Resource Conservation District. Fuel reduction treatment also helped hotshots fighting the Caldor Fire on the ground with firing operations. Other areas treated even as recently as this spring include El Dorado Irrigation District and National Forest land around n

Restaurant owners speak out against fines, COVID mandates Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Two local restaurant owners recently slapped with lawsuits for operating without valid health permits spoke out against the litigation at the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting Nov. 16. The county filed lawsuits against the two family-owned restaurants Nov. 8. The eateries’ health permits were revoked last year due to violation of COVID-19 restrictions. “These two businesses did what they believe they had to in order to survive,” said Danette’s employee Alicia Selby during public comment. “We who work for them are grateful but now they are under attack. Little family-owned establishments being strong-armed by the full force of their county government, which announces that they seek to shut them down until their demands are met.” Danette’s owner Danette Inman also addressed the board, expressing her opposition to mask and vaccine mandates, urging them to drop the charges against her business. “You guys are closing me down because I’m

Underwater cleanup progresses at Lake Tahoe despite smoky setbacks

Philip Stamborsky

Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune

Philip Andrew Stamborsky, age 54, of Georgetown, Calif., sadly passed away Saturday, Oct. 23. Philip was born Jan. 15, 1967 in Washington state. He is survived by his wife Tanya Edelman; sons Jesse Edelman and Dylan Stamborsky; parents Yvonnie Burrell, Robert and Rose Stamborsky; sisters Suzanne Olsen and Angel Stamborsky; in laws Dan and Barbara Edelman and so many other close family and dear friends. Phil is a long time resident of Georgetown. He was very active in the community he loved so much and was always there with a smile and helping hand. He loved camping, golf, hunting, fishing and of course poker. He had an amazing sense of humor and brought joy and love to all who knew him. He will be truly missed. Although he may be gone he will live on in the hearts of all that knew him. “Pasa Nada”

LAKE TAHOE — Clean Up the Lake has reached another milestone by reaching the west shore of Lake Tahoe after a summer full of starts and stops. Divers have now cleaned almost 44 miles of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline, putting them at 60% complete. Within that distance, they’ve removed more than 21,000 pieces of trash weighing 18,000 pounds. “It’s hard to say exactly how I feel, because it’s just been go, go, go and I look back and think, ‘where have the last five and a half months gone,’’ said Colin West, founder and executive director for Clean Up the Lake. “It’s been a whirlwind but in the best way.” The project kicked off May 14 at Edgewood Tahoe on the South Shore. The divers have been traveling counterclockwise around the lake. The team is now

It went to $3,000 flat rate here, then it’s $5,000 flat rate one month, now it’s a $10,000 flat rate. Who … is making up this curve?” Inman said she will not pay the fines but is more than willing to pay for her restaurant’s license fees. “I know I need a license to run my business,” Inman said. “We run a clean shop. I don’t mind adhering to that but I will not submit to wearing a mask and unlawful fines. I just ask that you guys to please do away with the fines and the ridiculous (and) frivolous lawsuit at this time.” Both Danette’s and Apple Bistro

Gavin Newsom’s middle and high school in-person student vaccine mandate, which the board voted 4-1 in favor of. Waldow expressed her disappointment in the board, referring to their actions on the mandates. “We stay open because we care and because of our right,” Waldow said. “It’s not a law; it’s not a mandate. We did not vote on it, you did not vote on it, and yet you are voting us out … you are trying to be bigger than we are. You’re not.” Selby assured the board the Danette’s has only benefitted from

staying open, that no harm has come to anyone as a result. She questioned if supervisors were willing to risk employees losing their homes to prove a point on defying the county regulations. “You will be keeping dads from providing for their families, young couples from making payments for their first home, single moms from feeding their babies and kids, from earning enough to make rent,” Selby said. Many who spoke during public comment and the discussion on the student vaccine mandate supported the restaurant owners’ comments, calling on supervisors to stop targeting the eateries. Supervisors did not respond to the restaurant owners’ comments at the meeting.

What Causes It?

Tahoe Daily Tribune photo by Bill Rozak

The Tahoe South Events Center is expected to be open by early January 2023, slightly pushed back from its original date of late December 2022.

Events center construction stays on track despite delays Tahoe Daily Tribune STATELINE, Nev. — Despite smoke from the Tamarack and Caldor fires, evacuations and weather delays pushing back construction, work on the Tahoe South Events Center has mostly stayed on track. Crews lost an estimated 17 days due to fire and five due to the early winter storm in October, but according to Rick Kozuback, president and CEO of International Coliseums Company, which is overseeing construction of the project, it is close to making up those days. The original timeline set Oct. 15 as the day steel erection would be complete, including stairs, beams and trusses. Crews started steel erection on Monday, Nov. 15 and because the weather has been favorable, they are quickly making up for lost time. Kozuback said that while it would be much better to not have to erect steel in the snow, if the weather turns soon, crews are capable and willing to do so. In addition, they’ve started winterizing the site so construction can continue through the winter. They’ve laid down mulch and silt

fences to keep water from flooding the area. They’ve also poured asphalt in all the working areas so that they can use heavy equipment without damaging the ground. Kozuback said for people driving by the site, the asphalt may look like a giant parking lot but it will in fact be the future site of the arena. Kozuback added that some of the subcontractors have experienced staffing shortages but it hasn’t caused any further delays. The $80 million event center is a 143,000-square-foot, multiuse facility that will host concerts, conferences, sporting events and more. Ground broke in July 2020 and its anticipated economic impact to the entire community is estimated to be $40 million-$60 million per year, said a press release from the Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority. The delays have shifted the opening date slightly, from late December 2022 to early January 2023 but the project remains on budget. “It’s been interesting and challenging but fun and exciting to see this come to fruition.” Kouzback said.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

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

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

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

Noel Stack Managing Editor

Krysten Kellum Editor

California Commentary

Parents take on the leviathan

7th-century theorist Thomas Hobbes argued that members of any distinct society must subject themselves to an absolute sovereign as the only way to preserve their own lives and security. His book, “Leviathan,” reflected the political world view Jon Coupal of the age. Proving him wrong was a small group of Puritans who established a tiny colony near what is now Plymouth, Mass. The term leviathan as used today in political discourse simply means a large, oppressive government or force, much like the Old Testament monster from which it derives its name. And even though the United States is based on the antiHobbesian theory of consent of the governed, there remain large forces that demand submission from citizens. One of those large forces is the education establishment found both at the state and federal level. Large bureaucracies backed by powerful labor organizations have a vice-like grip on how our children are taught and what they are taught. But things may be changing. The election earlier this month, more than anything, demonstrated that parents are angrily rejecting the education leviathan. Republican Glenn Youngkin artfully deflected Terry McAuliffe’s claim that he was a Trump clone. And most pundits believe the deciding factor in the race was McAuliffe’s gaffe saying parents shouldn’t have a say in what their kids are taught. McAuliffe’s terminal case of political tonedeafness is replicated here in California, where the California Teachers Association and its affiliated local branches are increasingly viewed negatively by voters across the political spectrum. As reported in the Los Angeles Times, the head of the United Teachers of Los Angeles, Cecily MyartCruz, claimed there is “no such thing as learning loss” for students who were forced into remote learning during the pandemic, saying the children learned “survival” and “the difference between a riot and a protest.” The arrogance revealed by Myart-Cruz might explain why the Los Angeles Unified School District has seen its steepest enrollment decline in 20 years, dropping by more than 27,000 students. Disaffected parents are discovering that, while escaping the leviathan isn’t easy and sometimes requires sacrifice, the benefits to their children are worth the cost. Charter schools, private schools and homeschooling options have exploded throughout the state. Moreover, the resistance against the leviathan is increasingly organized. The Parents Union in California (unlike the PTA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the unions) is actively changing the establishment from within by electing pro-parent n

Letters to the Editor PHS theater

School choice for all

EDITOR:

EDITOR: etitions are now being circulated to place the Education Freedom Act on the November 2022 ballot. The Education Freedom Act (School Choice) will clear obstacles for K-12 students that may be blocking their path to a quality public, private or homeschool. School choice is non-partisan and offers choice for every child without discrimination. Only Prop. 98 funding will be used, leaving all other funding for public schools, right where it is now or zero cost to public schools — public schools benefit. Each child will receive $14,000 per year in an Education Savings Account that follows the child to any school they choose — private, parochial, charter or homeschool. Any amount unused is saved until the child has a need for education funding, until age 30. There are six million K-12 students in California and all are eligible. California public schools rank 43rd out of 50 states. Public schools are failing minority students in big cities. In Los Angeles, for example, just 9% of Black students scored proficient in eighth-grade math. Parents will be able to select schools that align with their personal values, including religious education, and, most important, parents are able to opt-out of controversial curricula such as critical race theory, sex education, etc. It is a parents right to have a say in their child’s education and curriculum. Your kids’ education dollars don’t belong to your local school district board or to the state Legislature ... and certainly not to teachers unions. Please note, it is not the role of the teachers unions to dictate school curriculum, as has recently been the case with the National Education Association (largest teachers union), which earlier this year announced a plan to promote critical race theory to all 50 states throughout 14,000 local school districts, additionally aligning with Black Lives Matter and Zinn Education Project. In California parents are suing to prevent the state’s public school system from reciting prayers to Aztec gods. One of the deities in the chants/ prayers recited by students was honored with

y wife and I attended the Ponderosa High School production of “Radium Girls” at the Nov. 12 matinee. The students were excellent in their presentation. We came away feeling that with youth of this caliber, our future will be in good hands. This is the first performance we have seen at Ponderosa High; it will not be the last. We would encourage everyone to support this group of talented youth in their future performances. Congratulations to drama director Renee Fritz and her wonderful cast for a job well done.

Safe education for our kids EDITOR: am not writing this letter to try to change the minds of those who clearly have no interest in intelligent discussion of facts. These folks have spent some time on social media, which they believe gives them the same authority as spending a decade in higher education, achieving a medical degree and years of practical experience in public health. No, I am writing this letter in gratitude and appreciation of the various school districts in El Dorado County that are holding firm on mask and vaccine requirements. They are keeping kids, teachers and families out of danger of getting sick from a deadly disease. It is disheartening that a group of angry individuals — some of whom do not even have children — are attacking our school districts for doing what is required of them and the safest thing for kids. They are also angry about imaginary coursework they falsely believe is being taught. These individuals are effectively holding our children hostage because of their political agenda. We will never be able to achieve community health and truth-based normalcy as long as this rabid activity continues. Doing the right thing takes more courage than ever these days and I am grateful that our school district leadership has that courage. MARGIE LOPEZ READ Placerville

An entertaining show about Clarence Darrow

aturday, Nov. 13, the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour on Coloma Street in Placerville put on a oneman show, “The Trials of Clarence Darrow.” The actor, based on a script that he created, told the story of Clarence Darrow and his various Michael trials defending miners, murderers and famously the high school teacher who taught biology students about evolution. Paul D. Hauck was the actor and script writer. He told the story with humor and drama over two hours, with an intermission in between for light snacks outside on the patio of the parish hall. The show was sold out. Hauck is a retired clinical child psychiatrist. His author’s notes state, “As I have lived with the stories of this man’s life I have been awed at the resonance of the issues of his era and ours. The continuous tension between labor and management as they compete for resources.

The relationship of industrial wealth and government power. The constant effects of racism. The struggle to protect individual rights when national security if threatened. The debate over what should be taught in school and how society should respond to Raffety the perpetrators of unspeakable crimes. “I hope this play will in some small measure further Darrow’s goals, in his words, ‘to improve human understanding, to temper justice with mercy, to overcome hate with love.’” Clarence Darrow was born in 1857 and died in 1938. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1878. Married in 1880, he moved to Chicago, eventually being hired by the city as an attorney. Two years later he became an attorney for the Northwestern Railroad Co. In 1894 he quit the railroad to represent Eugene V. Debs in the Pullman strike. He saved him in one trial but couldn’t keep him from being jailed in another trial.

With that bribery case eliminating him from labor cases he became a criminal defense attorney and only lost one death penalty case, usually employing his rhetorical skills to bring tears from the judge and the jurors. He also represented miners in the Great Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902 in Pennsylvania. Darrow was a leading man of the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1906-08 he represented three Western Federation of Mine Workers leaders accused of conspiring to murder former Idaho Gov. Franks Steunberg. In separate trials he got two acquitted and the charges dropped against a third man. Accused of bribing a juror in the Los Angeles Times bomb case, he represented himself and got a hung jury. Rather than a retrial, he agreed to a deal not to practice law in California again. With that bribery case eliminating him from labor cases he became a criminal defense attorney and only lost one death penalty case, usually employing his rhetorical skills to bring tears from the judge and the jurors.

What journalist H.L. Mencken termed “The Scopes Monkey Trial” pitted Darrow against the orator and statesman William Jennings Bryan. Darrow even called Bryan to the stand to testify as an expert on the Bible. Tennessee then had a law against teaching anything except creationism. Darrow lost that trial, but the Tennessee Supreme Court later threw out the verdict as absurd. Bryan had run for president three times for the Democrat Party in 1896, 1900 and 1908. His platform was silver coinage as an inflationary method to help farmers more easily pay off debts. In 1896 he gave the famous “Cross of Gold” speech. “Do not press down upon brow of labor this cross of gold.” The Republicans won all three contests on the platform of maintaining the gold standard.

Student leader earns special Kiwanis honor Dina Gentry News release

he Kiwanis Club of Placerville recently presented Sydney Proctor with the Student Service Leader of the Month award for November because of her determined efforts as president of the new Golden Sierra Junior Senior High Schools Key Club. Kiwanis hosts student leadership Key Clubs at El Dorado, Ponderosa, Union Mine and Golden Sierra Junior Senior high schools where students organize programs to benefit the community. “I am honored to receive this award and excited to work with my fellow students at Key Club,” said Sydney after receiving the award. “The experience has helped me reach out to others when connection is so important.” “Our student service leaders are selfless and passionate about their work that benefits many,” shared Placerville Kiwanis President Brian Veerkamp. “I’m very proud of Sydney and her long listing of accomplishments.” Bill Sammons, GSJSHS Key Club faculty advisor, noted, “I wish to thank the Kiwanis Club of Placerville in recognizing Sydney Proctor as service leader of the month. Sydney courageously stepped forward into the leadership role of a brand-new club at her school this year. This is in addition to the fact that Sydney is new to the school this year herself. She has demonstrated the confidence to seize

her educational opportunities to the fullest and become involved in her school outside of the classroom. “In her new role as Key Club president, Sydney has made the Key Club a warm and inviting place for her fellow students to become involved,” Sammons continued. “She has worked cooperatively with her fellow officers and club members to get the new club off to a successful start. Sydney has proven to be very mindful in seeking out the input of others and making sure that all members have an opportunity to share input and have their voices be heard.” El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala, who is also a Kiwanis Student Service Leader Award committee member, thanked Sydney for her “commitment to your club and community. To put tonight into perspective, there are tens of thousands of students — over 25,000 students in El Dorado County — and we are here to celebrate you tonight and all that you have become, your heart for service.” After attending the ceremony, BOMUSD Superintendent Jeremy Meyers sent the following message to district staff and families: “We all have reason to be proud of Sydney Proctor and Bill Sammons.

Visitors will see stage performances from local faith bands, school choirs and choral groups. Placerville’s DJ Norm Hammond will provide entertainment throughout the evening. “In years past there has been amazing attendance at this event even though last year’s COVID-19 limitations forced us to livestream the event, which we plan doing again on our Facebook page,” said Albert Soto, co-producer and pastor of Bayside Placerville. “A common concern that we heard was that unless you were in front of the courthouse you could not hear the various speakers or performances. This year, with the added stage, video screens and stadium sound, we plan on giving everyone a front row seat up and down Main Street from the courthouse steps.” Placerville Mayor, Dennis Thomas said, “Our goal this year is to create memories for years to come. We have such a special city and at times like this that we put aside our differences and celebrate the joy of community and family. I look forward to our community coming

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). A lot of people think things, and much less actually do the things they are thinking. You’ll take it further by acting consistently in one direction — the habit of superstars. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). New people are coming into your life. Let go of any pettiness holding you back because you’re about to experience an expansion of the heart. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your social life can’t be sorted out with a quiz, questionnaire, profile or series of hypothetical imaginings. You will click with someone online, but you won’t know if there’s real chemistry until you’re face to face. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In injury, the hand automatically goes to the hurt. It’s because touch heals. It keeps it together. It establishes an energetic bond. Today, you’ll use touch to remedy the situation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Building on the knowledge of our elders isn’t old-fashioned, it’s practical. You’ll benefit from a return to tradition. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Rough patches are nature’s usual way. It would be weird if you didn’t hit them. So, keep going, fully aware that this is a challenging situation, and your own personal limitations are not to blame for the trouble. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are times to hustle,

chase and push but right now, a different approach would be better. Pull back and work on what pleases you without worrying about publicity or marketing. Allow your desire to find you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Silver linings are not just for clouds. A magical gilding can be found in a difficult job, a prickly person or a regrettable commitment. Look for the gleaming glint of value behind the unfavorable circumstance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no piece of advice that will change everything or be applicable always. If life is a school, lately it’s the sort that requires you to cobble your own curriculum. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is no right or wrong way to become successful, but there are ways that are a better fit that feel easier to you and create a sense of joy as you go. Stand up for yourself. Achievement doesn’t have to be painful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be your pleasure to supply the small things that seem to matter a great deal to others. Doing so will be the win of the day. Side note: Addressing people by their names will make a difference. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being drawn to a thing doesn’t make it good and being repelled by a thing doesn’t make it bad. It’s a matter of fit. Do not confuse a bad fit with a lack of merit.

Roman’s death was investigated for more than a year before the Pipers’ arrest came Feb. 3 at Arnold Meadowmont Lodge in Arnold. Lindsay faces an additional count of poisoning and Jordan an additional charge of failing to provide for a child. Autopsy findings determined Roman was malnourished and dehydrated. The Pipers will next be in court Dec. 17 at 9 a.m. in Department 1.

Jenkinson Reservoir as part of state-funded South Fork of the American River Watershed Cohesive Strategy and Fire Adapted 50 projects that aim to create resilient landscapes, fireadapted communities and safe and effective wildfire response. So when the Caldor Fire came right up to that treated land in August, it found little to burn. Not too far from there, the Pollock Pines-Camino Fire Safe Council with the help of state funds had also completed fuel breaks along Weber Creek. Those fuel breaks stretch from Starkes Grade at Sly Park Road up to the end of Lynx Trail and following the ridgeline to the community of Rancho Del Sol. Grant funds also allowed for road clearance to create a southern evacuation route for Rancho Del Sol. Going forward Egbert said the first phase of repair will be to remove as much dead and dying material as possible in Grizzly Flat and then to reforest. From there they will go into Omo Ranch and along the Highway 50 corridor.

almost immediately. “We saw it was going to get big by the end of the first big shift,” Marsolais said. “We knew this was going to be a Type 1 incident. We placed an order for a national team and none were available anywhere in the nation.” He said crews were doing everything they could with what was available, but due to other fires like the Beckwourth Complex Fire and the Monument Fire, a plethora of resources weren’t immediately available and “the fire was outpacing us two-to-one almost daily.” Through that, responding agencies figured out a plan

together. “Behind the scenes leaders (stepped) forward and supported each other through the toughest of times,” Marsolais said. Cal Fire Unit Chief Mike Blankenheim said the fire could have been 10 times worse. He said it was unfortunate Pollock Pines had to be evacuated for about 16-17 days, but the fire was “extremely close.” “We’re just starting to assess the real impact,” Blankenheim said of the nearly 222,000-acre Caldor Fire.

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. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

West also added that this time of year there are less boats on the water, which not only makes the dives safer but there aren’t as many boats stirring up the water so it will be clearer. Back on land, scientists at the Desert Research Institute and UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center are studying the items that are being pulled up from the depths. “Single-use plastic is a significant source of pollution in the lake,” said Dr. Monica Arienzo, assistant research professor for the Division of Hydrologic Sciences at DRI. She, along with several students, including lab technician Julia Davidson, are leading local research into microplastics. “Plastics coming from single-use items could be depositing harmful microplastics into the land,” Davidson said, adding that these microplastics could have unknown effects on human and environmental health. Heather Segale, education and outreach director for TERC said most microplastics have no matching fingerprints to other plastics, meaning they are coming from an unknown source. The team at TERC is looking at the degradation of plastics that the divers are pulling up in hopes of matching the microplastics to their original sources. Even without knowing the source of the microplastics, they know they aren’t good for the lake. “Plastics break down into smaller pieces, making them harder to pick up. Fish can’t digest the microplastics and they are a breeding ground for certain bacterias,” Segale said. For Segale, and many others involved, one of the greatest impacts of this project is the publicity for the issue. “We’re raising awareness to the amount of trash that’s been dropped into the lake,” Segale said. “A lot of people in our community tend to point

Divers say they are pleased to see that most of the trash is 30-40 years old. fingers at tourists for littering and for trashing our area,” West said. “I know there’s issues with the effects around short-term rentals that can make that statement lean towards the more accurate side, but the litter we’re seeing around the basin and under the surface is really from the impact of us being here.” West said they are pulling up a lot of construction trash items, items that are 30-40 years old and items that are clearly accidental, such as cell phones and sunglasses. So, even if tourists disappeared, the trash problem would not disappear with them. West said she hopes that by people seeing the amount of trash they are gathering, they will be inspired to change their habits to prevent more trash from going into the lake. Depending on the weather this winter, West said he hopes to be done by early 2022. The project has been made possible by contributions from more than 135 Tahoe Fund donors.
