McClintock calls for president to keep promise
Volume 170 • Issue 138
| 75¢
Everything nice
Tahoe Daily Tribune Rep. Tom McClintock on Friday sent a letter to President Joe Biden calling for him to fulfill the promise he made to assist the victims of the Caldor Fire when he visited the scene on Sept. “… when FEMA 13. “When denied the officials from governor’s request El Dorado County and for individual the California assistance for Governor’s the Creek Fire in Office of Emergency Fresno and Madera Services counties, President apprised you Trump immediately of the need to assist these reversed the displaced decision.” families, you said, ‘we’re — Tom McClintock, going to take representative for California’s care of them 4th congressional district … there’s a lot that we can do, and it starts off being a federal responsibility, in my view,’” the letter states. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied Gov. Gavin Newsom’s appeal for individual assistance for Caldor Fire victims. The fire is the 15th largest and 16th most destructive fire in the history of California. Hundreds of homes were destroyed when the fire tragically n

Supes narrow redistricting maps Payne named Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County is another step closer to curating redistricting lines after its Board of Supervisors chose to make tweaks to the second revision of the El Dorado Hills
Community Draft alternative map. The El Dorado Hills Community Draft alternative second revision splits the community of El Dorado Hills along White Rock Road. North of White Rock Road, District 1 would include Serrano, Lake Hills and the Bass Lake communities. District 2 would retain the El Dorado Hills population south of White Rock Road, including Blackstone, Heritage and Four Seasons, along with Cameron Park and much of south county, including Somerset, Pleasant Valley and Grizzly Flat. District 3 includes Placerville, El Dorado/ Diamond Springs and the Missouri Flat area to the west, south to Sly Park Road and
the North Fork of the Cosumnes River, east to Camino and Cedar Grove, and north to the South Fork of the American River. District 4 combines Shingle Springs, Rescue and communities that make up and the majority of north county. District 5 would get the Pollock Pines and Sly Park communities along with with South Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Basin. Based off a city-based map and the El Dorado Hills Community maps from the Nov. 3 redistricting workshop, four revised alternative county redistricting maps were presented to the supervisors for consideration. At the Nov. 16 public hearing, supervisors immediately dismissed the first revision for

the El Dorado Hills Community alternative map with almost no discussion, also tossing the first revision of the city-based alternative map since it would lump Bass Lake into District 2. District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin pointed out that the area where Malcom Dixon Road meets with Green Valley is put into her district in the second revision of the city-based alternative map. “In my mind, that’s not keeping El Dorado Hills in one district, so that’s problematic,” Parlin said. Supervisors set aside the second city-based revision to discuss the clear favorite of the four revised maps among the supervisors, the second revision of the El Dorado Hills n
District 2 planning commissioner Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 16 to appoint longtime community member Kris Payne as the new El Dorado County District 2 planning commissioner. KRIS PAYNE Payne replaces Cheryl Bly-Chester, who was removed from the county Planning Commission in August. Supervior George Turnboo first chose Camino resident and building designer Sue Taylor as his district’s next planning commissioner but that nomination failed to get enough support from the board. Payne is a retired engineer who worked with county public works and the Department of Transportation as a supervising civil engineer and program manager for 33 years. Paynes’ career throughout the West Slope and the Tahoe region required him to collaborate

He was a past master of Three Forks Grange No. 449, a member of Placerville Lodge No. 1712, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) and a member of the Placerville Sons In Retirement (SIR).

Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4 at Oak Hills Church, 1100 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom.

buckle up before heading out and remember to always avoid distractions.” Proper seat belt use is the most effective way to save lives in the event of a crash. Everyone in the vehicle should be safely secured before starting the car, including children being in the correct child safety seats. Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally one of the busiest travel times of the year. For that reason, extra care is warranted. All available CHP officers will be out helping to assure safe travel and to provide assistance to motorists in need. During the 2020 Thanksgiving maximum enforcement period, 33 people died on roadways within CHP jurisdiction, 14 of whom were not wearing seat belts. The CHP also made 868 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Tips for a safe and healthy holiday season News release El Dorado County Public Health wishes to remind residents and visitors how to stay safe and healthy over the holidays. “The change in season and upcoming holidays prompt gatherings and behaviors that increase many health and safety risks,” said El Dorado County Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams. “Taking simple preventive measures can reduce the chances of the holidays being ruined by things like improperly cooked turkeys, drunk driving or respiratory infections and can also ensure everyone stays safe.” Williams recommends the following basic health and safety tips for the holidays: • Understand and practice safe food preparation (to avoid gastrointestinal infections), • Assign a designated driver before consuming alcohol away from home (or use public transportation or a ride-hailing service), • Wash hands frequently (to avoid infections like norovirus), • Be aware of dangers and exercise care with regard to children’s toys, cooking, Christmas trees, hanging outdoor lights, etc., • Keep current on vaccinations (to avoid illnesses like measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, influenza, some pneumonias and COVID-19) • Stay away from other people when ill (to keep them safe). According to Williams, COVID-19 remains the biggest worry for many people this holiday season and for good reason. “COVID is still the biggest infectious disease threat in El Dorado County. Different virus variants have
emerged over time. The current predominant variant (‘Delta’) is more than twice as contagious as earlier variants. It may also result in more severe illness,” said Williams. “Even though many people have been vaccinated against COVID, or have been infected with it or both, the Delta variant poses some threat to everyone and especially to the elderly and people with health conditions that put them at greater risk. “For those who were vaccinated in early 2021, we know immunity can wane over time and booster doses are now recommended,” she continued. “In addition, many people in El Dorado County and elsewhere still remain unvaccinated.” In addition to risks directly associated with the virus, other factors increase the risk of acquiring a COVID-19 infection. “The change in weather and fewer hours of sunshine encourage people to be indoors,” said Williams. “The holidays also encourage people to travel and to gather indoors with others. The urge to spend time with friends and loved ones makes it hard to say no to gatherings even when doing so could potentially put others at risk.” People who gather with family or friends from outside their own households can take measures to keep everyone safe, even those (such as grandparents) who may be more vulnerable to COVID, said Williams. The following tips are recommended, even for those who have some immunity (from vaccination or from being previously infected), but especially for those who do not: • Try to avoid possible exposures to COVID during the two weeks (and especially during the last week) immediately before your holiday gatherings, such as indoor events or spending time in close proximity to others while not wearing face coverings
Spirit of giving
• Wear face coverings when you must be in indoor public spaces with other people during that timeframe • Get vaccinated or a booster dose (if eligible) as far in advance of the gathering as possible. Vaccinations start to work immediately, so it’s still worthwhile to get them even if reaching fully vaccinated status won’t happen until after your gatherings • Consider getting tested before you gather with people — antigen testing (within 24 hours before the gathering) or PCR testing (within 72 hours before the gathering) • Always keep away from others if you’ve tested positive for COVID (or flu or any other infectious illness), have symptoms or have been told to quarantine • Make contingency plans in advance of events so that it’s easier to say no if necessary • Encourage friends and family members to follow these guidelines For more information read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s or the California Department of Public Health’s tips for safe holiday gatherings.

protective outer layer of teeth. Bacteria in the mouth use ingested sugars to create acids that deteriorate this protective layer, forming cavities. Because enamel does not regenerate, dentists advise daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing to halt this destruction. A cavity begins as a white spot, which can be healed. However, over time, discoloration and decay occur, turning the spot from brown to black.

wiped out Grizzly Flat. “To fulfill this pledge, it is imperative that you reverse (FEMA’s) denial of the governor’s appeal for individual assistance for the victims of the Caldor Fire. As I noted in my letters to you of Sept. 17 and Nov. 4, the denial of individual assistance, if allowed to stand, will have devastating consequences on survivors whose homes and livelihoods
have been destroyed.” McClintock states that not only were many family-owned businesses impacted but also critical infrastructure such as schools, fire stations and the Grizzly Flat Post Office. To add to that, McClintock said residents of Grizzly Flat are “disproportionately low-income, elderly and socioeconomically vulnerable.“ He said to Biden that without
his help, the community will not be able to recover. “Last year, when FEMA denied the governor’s request for individual assistance for the Creek Fire in Fresno and Madera counties, President Trump immediately reversed the decision. You made a promise to the victims of the Caldor Fire and now is the time to fulfill it by taking the same action,” the letter ends.

California Matters
State’s high unemployment rate may be too low
E
ach month, federal and state officials release employment data for the preceding month, basically telling us how many Californians are employed and how many aren’t. The latest such release revealed that in Dan Walters September, just over 19 million Californians were in the labor force, 17.6 million were employed and 1.4 million were jobless for an unemployment rate of 7.5%. It was not a pretty picture, despite efforts by Gov. Gavin Newsom to put a positive spin on the numbers. California’s unemployment rate was tied for the highest in the nation, about 50% higher than the national rate and nearly four times as high as Nebraska’s lowest-in-the-nation 2%. California lost more than two million jobs during the recession spawned by COVID-19 shutdown orders and remains a laggard among the states in returning to pre-pandemic levels of employment. While a 7.5% unemployment rate is dismal, it may also understate the true nature of the job situation in California. How so? For one thing, it doesn’t count the half-million or so Californians who have left the labor force over the past 20 months. They are unemployed but aren’t counted as such. The Bureau of Labor Statistics actually calculates employment, unemployment and underemployment six different ways and the number most commonly cited, known as U-3, is the simplest, just the percentage of the labor force currently not working. It assumes that those working even the most menial, even part-time, jobs — as little as one hour each week — are employed. The most nuanced calculation, called U-6, adjusts for underemployment by counting unemployed workers, part-time workers who want to work full time and some who are ambivalent about working. California’s current U-6 rate, calculated for the past year, is 14% and is the nation’s third highest behind Nevada’s 15.6% and Hawaii’s 14.8%. It tells us that too many California workers are not fully employed, but rather are getting by as best they can with parttime work. A deeper dive into data indicates that even the 14% U-6 rate understates California’s employment dilemma. The Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, a think tank devoted to employment issues, has invented a new way of looking at employment — essentially counting those trapped in below-poverty jobs as unemployed. LISEP chairman Gene Ludwig, comptroller of the currency under President Bill Clinton, says, “Policy leaders, by these headlines and statistics, have been deluded into thinking things are better off than they n

Letters to the Editor Good intentions EDITOR:
M
ore than four years ago I was asked to take a boy who had lost his father out by an organization that mentors young Black men. He asked to go to a Kings game against the Hawks and if we could take his brother. I asked why the Hawks game? And he said his brother is a big John Collins fan so I booked the tickets AA level to awe the children. I picked them up and they both had on Hawks jerseys. Both boys were so excited about going to their first NBA game. Well that was the night of the Stephon Clark protesters shutting down the arena. I’ll never forget the look of disappointment and betrayal in those two boys’ eyes. I can’t help but feel they were tired of always being let down by adults. It was about 8 p.m. and I convinced them to let me get them something to eat. They wanted In-NOut and the older child was smart enough to get two double doubles. I told them that I’d take them to the next game but they informed me the Hawks only come to Sacramento once a year. The younger boy reached out to me the other day. We chatted and he volunteered that they were both very mad at me but now, being older, realize it wasn’t my fault. I said let’s go to the Kings/Hawks game this year and it’s a date. I believe I’m more excited than those two young men. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
COVID-19 vaccines EDITOR: ersonal freedom comes with personal responsibility. Unfortunately, those who refuse to vaccinate themselves and their children and rail against mandates don’t seem to understand that. I’m in full support of personal freedom, as long as your freedom doesn’t infringe on mine. As long as you can guarantee that you will bear the full cost and won’t spread disease and death to the rest of us. As long as you can guarantee that my medical costs, access and insurance premiums won’t be affected when you or your children end up in the hospital with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

P
get your children educated? Refuse to put helmets on them? Refuse to get them polio, mumps, rubella, hepatitis and measles vaccines? Refuse to strap them in their car-seats or use seatbelts? These are “mandates” and all of them have consequences to others. Vaccines are safe and effective; mRNA technology has been researched for decades; masks help prevent spread of disease; 434 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the U.S. In California you are 10 times more likely to end up in the hospital and 15 times more likely to die if you aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 (EDC COVID-19 Dashboard). Get vaccinated. The life you save may be your own. PATRICIA FERRELL Camino
The Republican betrayal EDITOR: t used to be that Republicans were the people who went red in the face when the United States was described as a democracy and insisted vociferously it was a republic. They never really accepted governing by the majority. Instead, deep inside, they yearned for rule by the few, worthy, rich white men over the rest of us. They pursued this goal by buying politicians on a massive scale, by painting Democrats as foreign enemies and by consistently trying to push this country back instead of forward. They had to cover their tracks during the World War II because of its popularity and overwhelming support, but the America First movement, made up largely of Republican Nazi sympathizers, had a similar ideology to our enemies in Europe. As soon as that war ended, Republican attacks on Constitutional values and progress of the people began in a coordinated onslaught that now has supported a criminal as its treasonous leader. How much propaganda have we been subjected to that seeks to convince us that government is inherently evil, incapable, unnecessary and that freedom consists of watching the country’s wealth increasingly move to the already-wealthy? One can only hope that the strain of neo-Nazism that has infected our body politic will collapse of its own weight. Republican rhetoric has become more openly fascist from top to bottom since the

are.” Ludwig’s methodology counts those unemployed, working part-time involuntarily and/or earning less than $20,000 a year as “functionally unemployed.” When applied to California, the formula determines its “True Rate of Unemployment” to be 25.7% of the workforce. The Ludwig number, more than three times California’s oft-stated unemployment rate, comports with other data about the economic distress being felt by millions of Californians who struggle to find well-paying jobs while contending with the state’s extraordinarily high costs of housing, utilities, gasoline and other necessities. By including living costs in its calculations, the Census Bureau sets California’s poverty rate at 17.2%, also highest in the nation. The Public Policy Institute of California takes it a step further by adding those living in “near-poverty” and comes up with 34% of

“This is where I grew up; this is where I fell in love with racing; this is the place where I decided I wanted to be a race car driver.” Justin Grant fondly remembers those days of yesteryear at Placerville Speedway that set the course for his life’s journey in the arena of auto racing — a path that has taken him from a teenage upstart Bay Cities Racing Association midget champion in 2007 to a U.S. Auto Club Silver Crown titlist in 2020 and one of today’s biggest USAC stars. All those winding roads in the decades since weaved their way back to his stomping grounds, back to the quarter-mile dirt oval located just a half-hour away from his Ione home. Grant enjoyed the most lucrative victory of his racing career, driving his RMS Racing/ NOS Energy Drink – EnviroFab – Response Management Services/ Spike/Speedway Toyota. Grant tracked down USAC NOS Midget National Championship point leader Buddy Kofoid in front of a standing-room-only crowd 14 laps from the finish of the 100-lapper, then slid past with authority and garnered himself a monumental victory worth $20,000 on the final night of the Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway. His third series victory of the year moved him into a tie for 80th on the all-time USAC National Midget feature win list alongside Brady Bacon, Merle Bettenhausen, Tony Bettenhausen, Hank Butcher, Kevin Doty, Dan Drinan, Ronnie Duman, Brian
NASCAR Cup Series title winner Kyle Larson out of Elk Grove celebrates after winning Friday night’s Hangtown 100 prelim. Gerster, Kenny Irwin Jr., Eddie Johnson, Buddy Kofoid, Michael Lewis, Andy Michner and Josh Wise. Winning at Placerville is meaningful in so many ways to Grant. It was there as a child he once played in the dirt with his toy racecars while watching from afar and dreaming of a day when he might drive the track. “My dad would bring me here and buy me diecast cars in turn one, and we’d sit up there and watch sprint car races,” Grant revealed. “I have a lot of family here and it’s close to home in front of all these fans. It’s just a really special win.” Grant began his quest from the seventh position in the 28-car field, looking on as outside front row starter Zeb Wise slotted into the early race lead. Prior to the feature, Friday night’s Hangtown 100 prelim winner and top point driver, Kyle Larson, had his son, Owen, draw the inversion number with 12, 14 and 16 being the only available options. Owen pulled out a 12, meaning Larson, a NASCAR Cup Series title winner, would have
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your presence is comforting. People open up around you, and you provide a soft place for their stories and thoughts to land. Though it’s not your job to be constantly receiving others, when you allow it, you help heal humanity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s nothing you need to do to right wrongs. It’s as though the universe is a cat that can’t help but land on its feet. All you have to do is refuse to interfere and justice will be served. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Complete your project. It might not bring the results you wanted, but finishing will be its own kind of reward, giving you glowing confidence and a different future than you’d otherwise know. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe complaining will fix nothing, but write your complaint anyway, only for yourself because working things out on paper will give you clarity. From here you will see a solution, workaround or way of accepting what is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whatever you’re selling, keep the price high and don’t be in a rush to make the deal. If you don’t get offers, it’s a blessing in disguise. Hold out for what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your own thoughts can make you happy or sad, frustrated or content. You may not realize what you’re thinking until you question what you’re feeling. Becoming aware of your thoughts will lead to a breakthrough.

n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re meant to lead. Take charge. This can be done quietly and humbly as long as your actions are firm, direct and unfaltering. You will bring out the best in others and utilize their talents. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone has doubts. The question is how seriously to entertain them. Give your reservations a certain amount of time and attention, then once you decide your course, move with confidence and don’t look back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Denying yourself only grows your appetite. What is the cost of giving in? Is it possible to have a little of what you want without indulging yourself to a regrettable degree? New ideas and approaches are needed. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As for those who don’t give you a normal amount of feedback, consider this a red flag. It’s joyless and energy-depleting to have to work too hard for reactions and attention. Generous spirits give as much as they take. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whether you’re in a new relationship or keeping the fires stoked on an existing one, your instinct for connection is well-honed today, and your moves will play beautifully. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll work hard and get the result you’re going for. With purpose and tenacity, you’ll execute your aims and weave your story. You’ll look back at this time in your life as legendary.
to start the main event from the 12th position while the 12th place driver in weekend points, Taylor Reimer, started from the pole. Larson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott joined the field, starting in 28th position. Larson’s first bump in the road came on the 12th lap when he, Brenham Crouch (11th) and Tanner Carrick (18th) all tangled and stopped between turns one and two. Larson went to the work area briefly then restarted, as did Carrick, while Crouch was finished for the evening. The top two of Wise and sixth-starting Kofoid formed a twocar breakaway in the ensuing laps with Kofoid perusing the bottom of turns one and two, while scouring the top of three and four as he studied his path to get by Wise. Kofoid passed the test and passed Wise as he dove past on the bottom of turn three 21 laps into the event. Mere moments later, on lap 24, Grant and

Wise banged wheels entering turn three with Grant forging his way past and into the second spot. From there on, the chase was on as Grant relentlessly pursued Kofoid for the lead, shadowing him low in turns one and two and on the top in turns three and four all while being encapsulated by the traffic that surrounded them as they encroached the halfway mark. However, on lap 54, Michael Faccinto and Thomas Meseraull were engaged in a tussle for the 20th spot on the back straightaway, which resulted in Faccinto spinning right in the middle of the racetrack and in the direct path of the leaders. Kofoid swerved to miss as did Grant. However, Bryant Wiedeman (third) and Shane Golobic (fourth) were the misfortunate ones caught up in the melee, as they both smashed into the front end of Faccinto. Wiedeman continued onward, but Golobic slid to a stop, requiring a right rear tire change. The scheduled midway stop for fuel was signaled at that moment and, under open red conditions, teams topped off with fuel and made tweaks and adjustments to prepare for the final 47 laps. Running 12th at the time of the red, Larson became one of the prime movers as soon as action resumed. Just six laps after the drop of the green, Larson ran sixth and was hauling. Just as soon as Larson put himself back into contention, heartbreak hit the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champ on lap 67 when he drifted sideways on entry to turn one on the cushion, which sent him barrel-rolling over the banking. He was OK and after quick repairs, returned to the fray. Up front, lap after lap of pulling to the outside of Kofoid in one and two and to the inside in turns three and four finally paid off for Grant on lap 87 as he slid across the nose of Kofoid in turn three, drifting to the top of turn four, then promptly nipping Kofoid by a wheel at the line before slicing to the bottom of turn one to deny Kofoid a chance at retaliation. “The track was really kind of momentum based there,” Grant explained. “You got on a long run and

with many agencies, including the cities of South Lake Tahoe and Placerville, Caltrans, fire protection districts, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission, county resource conservation districts and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, among others. Payne chaired the county Charter Review Committee in 2014 and 2018, as well as the Community and Economic Advisory Committee, and has sat on the Parks and Recreation Commission previously. Payne also serves as the vice president of the county Taxpayers Association, is the current president of the nonprofit El Dorado Museums Foundation and served 17 years as the El Dorado County Historical Society president. Payne is a Diamond Springs resident. “My experience in participating as a member of Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission and Charter Review Committee, as well as associated ad hoc and subcommittees

it was harder and harder to capitalize the more a guy could get in his rhythm. Buddy was killing us on the starts there early but this car really came around late ... ” On the ensuing restart following a turn two spin by 2019 race winner Larson, who finished 18th, Grant steadily constructed a two-car-lengths lead, which stretched out to four, then to six with just five laps remaining and nary a morsel of traffic or obstructions awaiting ahead. Grant rounded the final corner with both eyes on the prize as he passed under the double checkers to win by a 0.959 second margin over Kofoid in second with Logan Seavey third, Chris Windom fourth and Carson Macedo rounding out the top five. Kofoid (Penngrove) didn’t shy away from expressing his disappointment in finishing second after leading a racehigh 66 laps in his Keith Kunz-CurbAgajanian Motorsports/Mobil 1 – TRD – Toyota/Bullet by Spike/Speedway Toyota. While the disappointment of letting a win slip away took its immediate effect, Kofoid could also take some solace in the fact that he extended his USAC National point lead from 12 to 18 over Windom, with just three races now remaining this season. “It’s pretty frustrating,” Kofoid admitted. “I guess, at the end of the day, it was a good points night ... I was probably too good too early, but a second is nothing to hang your head about.” A late charge to a third-place finish paid off in a big way for Seavey and his Tom Malloy/Trench Shoring – Rodela Specialty Fabrication/King/ Ed Pink Toyota. But it was his total accumulation of points throughout the weekend that truly paid off with a $12,000 bonus as the overall Hangtown 100 points champion. “I was really trying to give it away the first half of the race,” Seavey recalled. “I just kept making mistakes, but I started coming on strongly at the end. My car kept getting better as the race went on and that’s what you’ve got to do here in these 100-lap races.” Elliot placed 20th in the Hangtown 100 final.
for those county commissions and committees, and county transportation development, will be invaluable in performing my duties as a county planning commissioner,” Payne wrote in his application. In his application Payne states he regularly attends Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission and community advisory meetings and follows land use proposals, specifically land development projects. Payne received a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Southern California. “I have a number of years of experience in this kind of work and I have knowledge of the county, which helps because you have subjects that come up at the Planning Commission where, for example, it may not be District 2 but could be in District 1 or 4 and I feel comfortable in discussing any of those districts just because of my experience,” Payne told the Mountain Democrat after his appointment.

Community Draft Alternative map. Chair/District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl said the most sought after map he heard from the public was the second revised draft of the EDH Community alternative map. Hidahl recommended adding the El Dorado Hills Business Park, which is south of White Rock Road, to District 1. “You can tie in the business park as part of District 1, which has historically been District 1 and that wouldn’t change the population,” Hidahl said. “That’s a tweak that just moves the boundary. It doesn’t change any of the numbers.” Hidahl said he hasn’t heard input from anyone in the business park. Most who wrote in for public comment about the maps generally favored the second revision of the El Dorado Hills Community alternative, stating that they appreciate how it keeps Shingle Springs in District 4,
keeps Cameron Park unified and keeps the north part of El Dorado Hills and eastern Bass Lake Road in District 1. After deliberating following public comment, the board provided direction to county staff to move forward with tweaking the second revision of the El Dorado Hills Community Draft map to include the business park in El Dorado Hills in District 1, keep Rescue north of Green Valley Road together in District 4, to keep the northern portion of Pleasant Valley in District 2 and to have District 3 go out to Cold Springs if District 4’s population needs to be adjusted. The board also recommended to staff to come up with two maps based on the prospected map to be discussed Dec. 7. The deadline for the county to submit a map is Dec. 15.

aking up early on Christmas morning and finding what Santa Claus left under the Christmas tree is a magical feeling every child should be able to experience. Thanks to the Toys for Tots program led by coordinator Stacie Walls, that joy is possible for more than 1,000 children in El Dorado County. Toys for Tots is open to children ages 17 and younger. Parents and legal guardians are invited to register their child(ren) in person this year as online registration won’t be available. Saturday, Nov. 27, the Toys for Tots crew will be at Walmart on Missouri Flat Road in Placerville and Sunday, Nov. 28, they’ll be at El Dorado Hills Town Center. Both events will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents in Cameron Park, Camino, Coloma, Cool, Diamond Springs, El Dorado, El Dorado Hills, Garden Valley, Georgetown, Greenwood, Grizzly Flat, Lotus, Mount Aukum, Pilot Hill, Placerville, Pollock Pines, Rescue, Shingle Springs and Somerset are eligible. Anyone residing in South Lake Tahoe who wants to sign up an eligible child should contact Meera Beser at (775) 230-1066. To register a child or children, those signing up
must be the parent or legal guardian and must have El Dorado County proof of residency like a recent (within 60 days) utility bill, rent statement or mail with their name and address on it. Each child must have either an ID card, report card, progress report or medical card. Once registration is complete, a pick-up ticket with an appointment date and time will be provided. Toy and fund drives will also be held at those same locations, where anyone can donate new toys. Any money donated will go toward purchasing new toys; when it comes to that, Walls is a technician. She knows exactly where to go to make cash turn into a mountain of toys. Other toy drop-off locations can be found online at placerville-ca. toysfortots.org. The biggest toy and fund drive event will be at the Bell Tower in downtown Placerville, 10 a.m. to 4. p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4. After the last toy is collected, Walls and the Toys for Tots crew will be as busy as Santa and his elves on Christmas Eve as they prepare all the presents for distribution Dec. 11 & 12. Distribution will be drive-thru only this year and the California Highway Patrol will provide security n

GROW FOR IT! Using dormant horticultural oils
G
ardeners know that approaching winter is still a busy time in the garden and one chore important over the Sue McDavid next few months is dormant spraying UCCE Master Gardener of using horticulture oils, El Dorado County especially on fruitproducing trees. These are toxic to the pests and diseases you are trying to avoid, but they are much more friendly to the environment. Dormant oil was originally a much heavier weight and less-refined product than what is available on shelves today. These earlier oils were generally unsafe for use on buds or foliage of any kind, but they have since been replaced with more lightweight horticultural oils; i.e., refined petroleum products. They are safe for humans as well as wildlife and beneficials such as honeybees and ladybugs. How do dormant horticultural oils work? They coat the target insects such as mites, scales and aphids with a thin film that essentially suffocates them. Timing the use of oils is important when using dormant oils. They should always be applied before flowering trees or shrubs have come out of dormancy, which means before any signs of leaves or flower buds. A good timetable to follow is to spray right after Thanksgiving and Christmas and right before Valentine’s Day, with the latter being an approximate time; in warmer winters, bud break

Scales, mites and other pests can be mitigated with the proper use of dormant horticultural oils. may occur before this date so keep a close watch on your targeted plants. There are temperature restrictions when using horticultural oils — never use them when it is colder than 40 degrees or hotter than 90 degrees and don’t use right before it rains or on a windy day; early morning is the best time of day to spray. Always read directions on the label and follow them carefully. At the very least, wear eye protection to keep spray drift from coming into contact with your eyes. All plant surfaces must be covered thoroughly because the oil must directly hit the targeted pests. Along with dormant spraying, cleanup of all fallen debris is extremely important. Rake up all fallen leaves and broken branches under the trees — this along with using horticultural oils will go a long way in preventing potential problems in the next growing seasons.

Barkcuterie boards are special treats filled with foods safe for your dog.
WINDOWS & PATIO DOORS

Barkcuterie board lets your pet join the holiday meal Best Friends Animal Society News release With all those delicious holiday meals coming up, we know that our pets want to join in on the fun. But unfortunately, the foods we love are not always safe for them. Common food items that can be poisonous to dogs include onions, raisins, grapes, some nuts, chocolate and alcohol, so avoid sharing these with them. Too many rich, fatty foods or simply new, unfamiliar foods can upset a pet’s stomach — and even cause pancreatitis, which can be lifethreatening — so owners should go easy on the tidbits. The same goes for bones, which can break apart or splinter in a pet’s stomach and be deadly. Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of shelter pets in America by 2025, has the perfect solution to bring your dog a festive feast: barkcuterie boards.
What you will need • Serving or cutting board • Small bowl or ramekin • Cookie cutters in a variety of shapes and sizes — we love paws, bones, hearts and stars • Cutting board, knife and spoon for food prep • ½ cup of your pet’s favorite wet food (if they don’t eat wet food, double the amount of dry) • ¼ cup of your pet’s favorite dry food • A hearty handful of your dog’s
MINIMUM PURCHASE OF 4
Plus NO Money Down NO Interest NO Monthly Payments
favorite treats • 1 cup of your pet’s favorite chopped/sliced dog-friendly fruits and vegetables, such as: apples, mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, zucchini and kale. Pick a variety of colors and what’s seasonal — the options are endless. • Your best friend (and taste-tester)
for 1 year 1
MINIMUM PURCHASE OF 4 – INTEREST ACCRUES FROM THE PURCHASE DATE BUT IS WAIVED IF PAID IN FULL WITHIN 12 MONTHS
CALL BY DECEMBER 31
Optional additions • Kale or spinach — for garnish • Coconut whipped cream (note: should only be given as an occasional treat as coconut milk does have some benefits for a dog’s fur and coat, but is rich in fat and triglycerides) • Peanut butter (Make sure you choose xylitol-free)
to schedule your FREE in-home consultation
855-760-1216
Directions • Place the small serving bowl in the center of your cutting board. If you’re using kale or spinach, place it under and surrounding the small bowl. • Fill the small bowl with the wet food. • Place the cut fruits and veggies around the bowl. Separate different colors so each item stands out. • Fill in multiple areas with the dry food. • Place treats around the board and in-between the fruits and veggies. Your best friend may have fun sniffing these irresistible treats out if you place them under the kale, too! • Keep it simple. Design your barkcuterie board with your dog in mind and choose foods they will enjoy.

“My phone was ringing with all these crazy scams,” she remembers, initially reluctant to enter her phone number for fear of additional scam phones calls. “I don’t know how they made the choice. I think my teeth are just really bad. There’s not much left of them.” “For years our practice and team has been helping people in this region,” Straw noted. “We get to see a lot of the individuals in our community who have these severe oral health needs. We decided to put on this Second Chance program because we recognize that not everyone has access to these type of services for full-mouth restorations.” Straw credited his team for being critical in making Hays’ restoration a reality. Dr. Bryan Tuttle of Above the Gate Dentistry in El Dorado Hills and Diamond Springs will fit Hays’ dentures. Allure Dental Studios in
Tracy will construct and fabricate the prosthesis and Bio Horizons will supply the implants and prosthetics. “We’re all doing this because we want to make a difference,” Straw said, hopeful he can make this an annual event. He said he’s excited to begin the long process of Hays’ makeover. “The best part is yet to come.” Hays said the first thing she will do after her surgeries is smile. “I miss smiling,” she declared. “My mom used to tell me the biggest gift you can give someone that can change their whole day or even their life is to smile at them.” Representatives from the offices of Sen. Andreas Borgeas, Assemblyman Frank Bigelow and Assemblyman Kevin Kiley attended the event along with District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl and EDH Chamber of Commerce staff.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: January 19, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 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.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 084156-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 084156-CA 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 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.

The Ordinance would deem the cultivation of industrial hemp in violation of the Ordinance a public nuisance that is enforceable under existing provisions of the County Code of Ordinances. The Ordinance would be effective immediately if adopted by at least four-fifths vote of the County Board of Supervisors, and will remain in effect for twelve months after adoption and shall be in effect through December 6, 2022.

DAILEY; DONALD CLINTON DAILEY; DON DAILEY A PETITION for Probate has been filed by MELISSA THOMPSON in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that MELISSA THOMPSON 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: January 19, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 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. Petitioner: MELISSA THOMPSON 3804 Bilbao Court Cameron Park, CA 95682 (916) 801-1958 11/24, 12/1, 12/8 9746
