A giving community, a foundation that leads Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer A community foundation’s role is one of stewardship. Through careful management of donated resources, a foundation identifies needs within a community and allocates those resources accordingly. To date, a total of $3.2 million has come into the El Dorado Community Foundation’s Caldor Fund. Of that, $1.4 million has been distributed to El Dorado County residents impacted

by the devastating wildfire. The foundation has taken no administrative fees from the fund and does not plan to do so, according to its Executive Director Bill Roby. The El Dorado Community Foundation, established in 1991, is dedicated to serving those in need through the direct support of the community and organizations who passionately give for the benefit of all, according to the foundation’s website. When the Caldor Fire sparked Roby said he knew need would be coming — and

Organic waste programs coming Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Pilot programs through El Dorado Disposal have rolled out in some areas of Placerville and El Dorado County to support new legislation that aims to reduce organic waste from commercial and residential trash disposal customers. Full implementation is expected within two years. Jeff England, district manager at El Dorado Disposal, spoke at the Nov. 9 Placerville City Council meeting, giving an update on the progress of Assembly Bill 1826 and Senate Bill 1382. AB 1826 is a California mandate targeting commercial food waste. The bill has a measured phase-in process to allow the private sector to build infrastructure to comply. In October 2014 the bill was signed into law with a target date of implementation starting in April 2016. Local jurisdictions would report progress to Cal Recycle on development of an organic waste program and in 2018 PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

CalRecycle conducted a formal review. In 2019 businesses that generated 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste were be required to arrange for organic waste services. Earlier this year the threshold for commercial customers to be compliant with the program was lowered from 4 cubic yards to 2 cubic yards of trash. This means that many small businesses will be required to comply, according to England. “Customers will be vetted and what we end up with is a list of businesses that are required to be compliant,” he said. Other businesses will be exempt based on the type of trash they generate with some obvious exemptions still needing to be verified. “C&H Auto Parts for example,” he said. “We can put them on the exempt list but we are expected by CalRecycle to go back and literally do a dumpster dive or have the driver take a picture of the inside of the bin to verify that there are no organics in there.” There are currently 147 customers on the weekly commercial food waste route and that number continues to grow, according to England. SB 1383, signed into law in September 2016, targets household food waste as a way to combat methane emissions in landfills. The bill has a target of a 75% reduction of organic waste disposal by 2025. Ross Reaksecker, site manager at El Dorado Disposal, reported on the implementation of SB 1383 in El Dorado n

coming soon. “The fire started on Sunday; the foundation met on that Monday,” said Roby. “As a foundation we understood very distinctly that when you’re able to put funding back into a community at the very start of a public emergency, especially when you have so many people being dislocated, you can avoid a lot of downstream problems.” Within six hours of forming the Caldor Fund donations came rolling in. “As soon as we opened that

“This is an investment. It’s an investment in who we are and what we are.” — Bill Roby, El Dorado Community Foundation executive director fund on that Tuesday, money poured in; it’s still coming in today. It’s just amazing how many people stepped up,” said Kathy Haven, El Dorado Community Foundation program coordinator. Lois Roberts, the foundation’s donor services coordinator, immediately looked to the foundation’s more than 275 funds, not

knowing what success the Caldor Fund would see. Instead he got a heartwarming surprise. “That first round of donors came from individuals really; it was just amazing,” she said, noting that the majority of those individual donations made in the first days of the n

Holiday tradition

The community got to work Saturday morning, Nov. 20, to decorate the Christmas trees that line Highway 50 through downtown Placerville. It’s a local tradition each holiday season since 1971, bringing out families, businesses and organizations to add that special sparkle to each conifer donated by El Dorado County’s Christmas tree growers. The Schram family of Placerville chose a theme for their tree — red, white and blue. Finnegan, 7, and Ronan, 5, from left, place American flags on branches.

Robert Francis Kamena Jr. (Bob) was born in Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 13, 1958 and passed away Nov. 7 in Roseville, Calif. Bob, his parents Robert F. Kamena Sr. and Sue A. Kamena and his siblings, Glen Kamena, Garry Kamena and Juanita Kamena, lived in Orangeville, Calif. Bob was a Boy Scout from age 7 to 15, earning his Eagle Scout recognition in 1973. He graduated from Casa Roble High School in 1975 where he was involved in many activities such as swimming, waterpolo, wrestling, football and horticulture. While in high school, Bob met Suzanne Kay Miller and they married on June 18, 1977. They had four beautiful children, Dawn, Robert, Jennifer and Brant (predeceased).

Bob was a patriot and loved our American Flag and for which it stands. He served in the Navy from 1975-81. His ashes will be interned in the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon, Calif. Bob entered Progress House, a Recovery and Treatment Center in Coloma, Calif., in 1990. He successfully completed the Recovery program and developed a passion for helping others to find recovery and to reclaim their lives. His first effort to give back to the recovery community was to work for Progress House and to open its first Outpatient Program. This began his life work of helping others to find recovery, stabilize their lives and work through their trauma. He worked with people with addiction, mental health issues, disabilities and trauma. Bob went on to develop the first Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program with a colleague in El Dorado County. Dual diagnosis is when an individual is diagnosed with both substance abuse disorder and mental health disorders or two issues co-occurring. He then went to work for El Dorado County Mental Health at the Day Rehab program and then as a crisis worker. His last job with the county of El Dorado was with Health and Human Service’s Drug and Alcohol Programs in the Probation Department, treating clients with addiction and mental health issues. Bob also ran three private business, one which provided Interventions to people in crisis; one which provided services and support to people with various disabilities; and one which provides Parent Effectiveness Training, a business that will be carried on by his wife, Suzanne.

Erik Mariner

Nov. 2, 1972 – Nov. 11, 2021

Erik Damian Mariner passed away peacefully Nov. 11, in Kansas City, Mo. His parents, sister and brother were all with him during his final hours. He was 49. Erik was born in Vallejo, Calif., to Joe and Roberta Mariner, the youngest of three children. Erik grew up in El Dorado Hills, attending Jackson Elementary, Marina Village Middle School, and Oak Ridge and Independence High Schools. He earned his bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from California State University, Sacramento. He was a licensed professional engineer in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and North Carolina. He spent the past 15 years specializing in solar electrical engineering, working at firms in Northern California; Eden Prairie, Minn. and Kansas City, Kan. He was also a member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society and the Audio Engineering Society. Erik’s greatest passion was music. He was a gifted guitarist, a love handed down from his grandfather who had studied with virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist Andres Segovia. Erik began playing at the age of 8. He enjoyed studying both classical and electric rock guitar, mastering pieces from Tarrega’s Memories of Alhambra to Metallica’s Orion. His family has fond memories of rock classics echoing from the garage during his teenage years and his guitar strumming in the background during holidays and family gatherings. He also enjoyed the outdoors, especially exploring trails and lakes and bicycle riding when he moved to new cities, as well as in his old stomping grounds in El Dorado County. He loved spending time with his family and friends and was an engaging uncle with plenty of piggyback rides and fun shenanigans when his niece and nephews were young. Erik is survived by his parents, Joe Jr. and Roberta Mariner of El Dorado Hills; sister Michele Dawson (Brett) of Anthem, Ariz.; brother Joe Mariner III (Erika) of San Diego; nephews Blake, Nicholas, Zachary, Trenten and Carson; and niece Allie; and an aunt, uncles and cousins. A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Michael John Harjung

Michael John Harjung was born in upstate New York May 23, 1948 and passed away unexpectedly Sept. 21. Mike and his wife of 51 years, Jill, drove across the country in their VW bus in 1972 to make their way out west. They settled in Pollock Pines in 1975 where Mike built their dream home. Mike worked in all aspects of construction for most of his life. There was nothing he could not do. He loved planting trees, landscaping with river rocks, building decks and making his home beautiful. Being outdoors was his favorite place to be whether at home, fishing and camping in the Sierra, or cutting firewood in the forest. Road trips throughout California were some of the best times, playing on the beach with his dogs, watching sunsets with Jill. Mike always had a story or a joke to tell. He loved making people laugh. Mike was a Marine who served during the Vietnam War. He was so proud of his time in the Marines. He was a strong tough guy with a soft heart full of love for his wife who will miss him and love him forever.

UP partners to provide wildfire recovery aid News release SACRAMENTO — Rural County Representatives of California and its affiliated entity, Golden State Finance Authority, have partnered with the nonprofit United Policyholders by providing $50,000 in funding to the 2021 California Wildfires Roadmap to Recovery Program to support rural county communities impacted by catastrophic wildfires. The program helps homeowners and renters navigate the process of returning to a wildfire damaged area, repairing and replacing damaged and destroyed property and collecting all available insurance funds. Residents throughout rural California communities were impacted by catastrophic wildfires in 2021 and are depending on homeowners insurance to finance repairs and rebuilding efforts. Through the 2021 California Wildfires

Unemployed who received pandemic benefits reminded to show work history News release SACRAMENTO — The Employment Development Department is reminding those who received pandemic unemployment assistance of the federal requirement to submit documentation showing work history before the start of their claims. The federal Continued Assistance Act this year requires pandemic unemployment assistance claimants who received benefits on or after Dec. 27, 2020, to submit documentation to prove they were (or planned to be) self-employed or employed when they applied for benefits. Starting Nov. 10 the department will send notices by email, text message and through UI Online to

those who must submit their proof of work history to comply with federal rules. Many claimants who filed for pandemic unemployment assistance have already proven their employment status, including those who collected pandemic unemployment assistance in 2020 and provided their 2019 wage and income information to obtain more than the minimum weekly benefit amount. Individual notices will provide the exact time periods that the documentation proving work history must cover. In general, if the pandemic unemployment assistance claim began in 2020 the documents need to be from the 2019 tax year, and if the pandemic unemployment n

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?

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.

California Matters

How long will Newsom govern by decree?

ov. Gavin Newsom recently extended two of his pandemic decrees until March 31, indicating that he has no present intention of withdrawing the emergency declaration he issued 20 months ago. DAN WALTERS It calls to mind David’s plaintive question in Psalm 13, “How long, O Lord?” Under that emergency declaration, Newsom has suspended or altered more than 400 laws and regulations and, in effect, issued dozens of his own laws without going through the legislative process. While many are relatively mundane, some have had profound impacts, particularly mandatory shutdowns of countless small businesses and vaccination and mask-wearing orders. The closures triggered a severe recession as more than 2 million jobs were erased, quadrupling the state’s unemployment rate. Subsequently, Newsom repeatedly California Gov. eased his shutdown Gavin Newsom orders, then reimposed them as COVID-19 could continue to waxed and waned. govern by decree Newsom has defended indefinitely, recent mandatory vaccination orders eroding the for teachers and state American concept employees by citing a of democracy. new uptick in infection rates, also the rationale for recent action affecting the employment of healthcare workers. Newsom cited “the potential beginning of a new surge in COVID-19 cases” and “short-staffed and backlogged” healthcare facilities. Erin Mellon, a Newsom spokesperson, told CalMatters’ reporter Emily Hoeven, “The state of emergency ensures the state can continue to respond quickly to evolving conditions as the pandemic persists. As we have seen, this virus and variants are unpredictable. The state of emergency will be ended once conditions no longer warrant an emergency response.” That’s the rub. Public health officials have concluded that COVID-19 may never be fully or even almost fully eradicated, as polio was more than a half-century ago. Rather, the virus will continue to mutate, much like influenza, and will require continuing evolution of vaccines and treatments to keep it at bay. We may manage it, but probably will not eliminate it. Given that scientific consensus, Newsom could

Letters to the Editor Thanks for your support EDITOR: want to thank all the merchants and wineries who put up their pink lights this year. We had several merchants in town raise money for Images of Hope even though we were unable to have an event in town this year. A special thanks to High Sierra Quilters and Brass + Oak for their support and donations. We look forward to next year when we can have our Garden Party in the Orchard the first Saturday in June at Rainbow Orchards and a special Pink in the Night event in October. Both these events help us to raise money for our efforts to help cancer patients and provide the healing arts classes that are so helpful in their journey. Please consider helping spread the word about what we do so the folks that really need the help we offer can benefit from the classes and teachers that are here and want to help them. WENDY GOOSEN Founder of Images of Hope

Thanksgiving reflections EDITOR: n a recent day trip to South Lake Tahoe, I passed the Barton Memorial Hospital sign and reflected on my 10-day stay at the hospital after a near fatal car accident the night before Thanksgiving 1969. Two teenage friends and I were involved in a head-on collision with a pine tree on Keller Road after making the ill-advised drive from the Bay Area. My mother would regret her decision to let me be away from our family for the first time ever during a major holiday. I am forever grateful for the group of “long haired freaky people” who rushed to our demolished and smoking ’64 Chevy Nova and offered first aid and assistance with removal of any drugs or alcohol we might have. (We had neither). I’m also thankful for the driver of the ambulance who somehow squeezed all three of us into his modified Cadillac station wagon. Once at Barton Memorial, the professional albeit small staff discovered I had sustained multiple rib fractures and an injured and swollen spleen. The other two boys were released. Fortunately for me, South Lake Tahoe was home to one “Doctor of the Stars” Surgeon Clifton H. Wright, who was able to perform a successful splenectomy and save my life. I’m forever thankful to him and the Barton Memorial staff for nursing

me back to health. Mom flew and stayed at the Matterhorn Motel just blocks from Barton, which was in its infancy. Mom passed away in May and this will be the second Thanksgiving we haven’t spent together in my 66 years. She lived a full life and we have lots to be thankful for. A big part of those thanks goes to the “little hospital that could …” MATTHEW REISING El Dorado Hills

What are we becoming? EDITOR: t (the Nov. 16) Board of Supervisors meeting as well as the Rescue Union and El Dorado Union High School District board meetings, a crowd of anti-mandate folk appeared and got really rowdy. At the BOS meeting they were booing people and shouting people down. I appreciate that they felt passionate about the anti-mandate issue and they showed up and spoke, but as soon as they started booing people and shouting people down they became bullies. Allegedly they even shouted a threat at one person who spoke an opposing view as she was leaving the room. The chair, Supervisor John Hidahl, really did not have control of the meeting. This group talked about their rights and then proceeded to stomp on the rights of other speakers. It was shameful. I heard yesterday that about 20% of students in the Rescue district walked out. That would suggest that up to 80% of families did not agree with their anti-mandate stance and yet they felt free to bully and intimidate people. I have no problem with them getting in front of the board and speaking. That is their right, but they have no right to intimidate and harass other speakers. Something needs to be done to get control of board meetings when this happens. And more people need to show up and show our leaders that this crowd really doesn’t reflect the majority in this county.

The Not So Weekly Daley

This Thanksgiving holiday I have thanks to spare

esterday was a good day to give thanks for any number of people, things, events, thoughts, inventions and advances that make our lives better. Beginning with several recent events and other past experiences, I’m thankful that, most of CHRIS the time, most of the people on the roads and especially highways pay attention and drive pretty safely. A ride to and from Sacramento Airport for a trip to Mexico two weeks ago down and back a week later raised that notion in my mind. We didn’t see any accidents nor even close calls. In general, you can look around at motorists speeding along at 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph and sometimes more — mostly without incident in my experience. I taught high school in Fairfield and commuted 80 miles a day from West Sacramento in the early ’70s. I drove

120 miles a day from Placerville to teach in Davis for five years from 1973 till ’79. In all those many thousands of highway miles, my only real recollection of trauma on I-50 and I-80 was on the Yolo causeway. A motorcycle passed me going about 90 mph DALEY early one morning. Near the west end of the bridge, the bike suddenly cartwheeled to the left and the rider bounced 50 yards or more off to the right shoulder of the road. I was the car immediately behind and had to hit the brakes hard to keep from running over him. A big rig directly behind me did the same and narrowly avoided knocking me into the great beyond. The young fellow on the pavement was not moving. I told others who had stopped that I would go on and find a phone to call in to the highway patrol. I never did find out how it all

I made a couple of calls later but there was no information available and eventually I gave up. Today, I’m thankful for cell phones. That day in 1974 would really have been a good day to have a cell phone. I’m thankful that we had an uneventful flight on Southwest to and from Mexico. We had to wear face masks 99% of the time in the airports and on the planes which, for some reason, doesn’t bother me all that much. There was no alcohol on board. No passengers were unruly. All four flights were completely full, but no one slugged their seat mate and I didn’t hear the attendants have to remind anyone to pull up their mask. I’m kind of thankful that I’m not any bigger than I am. I think I’m somewhat larger than average, but in airplane economy class I feel like

Thankfully the folks in Los Barriles, Baja Sur, a very rural small town, also observed mask protocol for the most part. And we got into the local clinic for rapid COVID-19 tests in mere minutes. Negative COVID tests are required for re-entry into the USA. I’m thankful that no one near and dear to us is sick, hospitalized or dead for this Thanksgiving, as of Tuesday at least.

continue his March 4, 2020, emergency declaration indefinitely and thus continue to govern by decree, further eroding the American concept of checks and balances via three equal branches of government. It is, as opined in this space earlier, an experiment in the system of parliamentary government used in much of the world, including in England and its former colonies, such as Canada and Australia. In those countries, the party that wins a majority of legislative seats, or fashions a coalition majority, also controls the executive branch. The head of the majority party — the prime minister — is empowered to issue decrees with the force of law as long as he or she retains a legislative majority. Newsom’s Democratic Party holds massive majorities in both legislative houses and its leaders are largely content to allow Newsom to govern by decree since they agree, for the most part, with what he has been doing. It avoids the messy, semitransparent process of drafting and passing laws that can be challenged in court or by referendum. Newsom and legislative leaders can work out what they want to do behind closed doors — with input from lobbyists for affected interest groups, of course — and either have Newsom embody it in an executive order or quickly put it into law.

The increasingly opaque state budget is an example of the latter. The Legislature passes a shell budget by June 15 each year, Newsom signs it and then it’s fleshed out over ensuing months with countless “trailer bills” that often make major policy changes with virtually no outside input. Whatever you call it, this system of governance by gubernatorial decree and hide-the-pea legislation may be Democratic but certainly is not democratic.

I’m thankful that the squamous cell carcinoma on my neck appears to be readily treatable with a few blasts from a super special dermatology ray gun twice a week over the course of a month.

A visual breakdown of donation numbers to the El Dorado Community Foundation’s Caldor Fire Fund.

Foundation

Continued from A1

Caldor Fire were between $50 and $100. To date, 47% of the Caldor Fund has come from individual donors, primarily from the local region. As the blaze continued in its path of destruction, more donations came. The foundation started seeing business donations — roughly 42% of the fund is made up of them. “Then there was this other outpouring … people who wanted to do fundraisers,” Roberts said. Fundriasers brought in more than $320,000. Learning lessons from support efforts in other fire-ravaged communities of Northern California, the El Dorado Community Foundation pushed out messaging to the community to determine the needs of those impacted. “We didn’t see mounds of clothing at the evacuation centers — it was actual people donating the funding that we were asking them for to provide shortterm and long-term support,” Roby said. That funding was immediately turned around to the community. “The applications rolled in,” recalled Haven. “We had 142 in the first 12 hours.” According to Haven, in those early days, a similar number of applications came in each day. The application and vetting process was refined over the course of the first couple weeks. As the team got better at the process and learned what worked and what didn’t, the applications were simplified, as was the distribution apparatus. Vetting was straightforward. Foundation staff would confirm that the applicants’ address was within a mandatory evacuation area and they made sure applications were complete. The distribution also underwent some changes along the way as they discovered cutting checks for each applicant would be too labor intensive. After the first round they moved to gift cards. All told, the El Dorado Community Foundation received more than 5,000 applications. “In the beginning it was really simple to compare 142 names and addresses but by the end, comparing 5,600 names and addresses was a full-time job,” said Haven. The foundation’s team also had some coaching from a mental health expert to help them communicate with community members experiencing shock and loss. These residents had just been evacuated, many in the middle of the night, not knowing if they would ever see their homes again. Foundation staff was for many the first person they talked to, according to Roby. “They had a story to tell and they wanted somebody to tell it to,” Roby

explained. “It was just that person who was there to say, ‘The community is here for you, don’t worry.’” The El Dorado Community Foundation recently shifted from a relief grant process that provided immediate assistance to a recovery grant that has a separate application process offering monthly rental assistance for any resident whose primary residence had 25% or more property damage. “We’re paying their landlord wherever they’re staying now,” said Haven. According to Haven, the foundation has had roughly 40 families apply for rental assistance. With nearly 500 homes officially lost to the Caldor Fire more applications are expected. “As a community foundation we were able to assist individuals individually, which is what we did with the gift cards,” said Roby. “But once the mandatory evacuations are lifted, or the disaster declaration is lifted, then we have to work through nonprofits.” Looking at the fundraising efforts by other nonprofits in the community, Roby asks those nonprofits to, instead of giving directly to the Caldor Fund, utilize their funding to move programs and services to south county. “I would rather see them utilize that money moving into that community than provide that money to the Caldor Fund,” said Roby. “They need them.” A group currently coming to fruition with the help of foundation staff, is the Unmet Needs Committee. “There are a few nonprofits that are going down there and doing the work,” said Avis Jolly, El Dorado Community Foundation impact officer. “The more (nonprofits) that come to the table, the easier the lift.” Support is still coming from the foundation and the community continues to support those efforts. “We really look at this in three stages and I think it’s important for the community to understand that,” said Roby. “Those are relief, recover and rebuild.” There is a reserve in the Caldor Fund of between $1.2 million and $1.5 million that will take the foundation through the recovery stage of the efforts. “It is so easy in today’s environment to get caught up in the news cycle,” said Roby. “This isn’t just something that appeared on Channel 3 and it’s all over. It’s not over. “We all need to stay invested,” he urged. “This is an investment. It’s an investment in who we are and what we are.” The El Dorado Community Foundation continues to offer support in the recovery process and to look ahead to rebuilding.

Dear Santa Courtesy photo

The Oak Ridge High School women’s varsity volleyball team poses with the well-deserved CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division 1 title earned earlier this month.

ORHS volleyball reflects on spectacular season Sel Richard Staff writer The Oak Ridge High School women’s varsity volleyball team recently wrapped up a stellar season. “It’s been a really great journey,” Coach Trevin Morgan shared. “If you had said at the beginning of the season that we would be playing for the chance at a state championship, I’m not sure anybody would have believed it, but these girls did.” The team unfortunately lost last week’s home playoff match to Hillsdale 3-0, only the sixth loss of the season. It was a painful blow to the young, spirited athletes who amassed a total of 34 wins, placed first in both the Sierra Foothill League and the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division 1 and earned the No. 1 seed for NorCal Division 1 to qualify for the state championships. Morgan can’t help but be proud of their accomplishments. The team won 12 games before losing a single match, which Morgan attributes to an injury. “We had to play a different system that we weren’t used to,” he said. “I want them to look at the season and just remember that they did something that only one other team, to my knowledge, at Oak Ridge has done, is gone to the regional finals.” Oak Ridge volleyball made it to the NorCal final in 2016 under coach Patrick Sanders. It is Morgan’s fourth season coaching the team and he said he feels a special bond with them. “This is my first full graduating class. It’s the group that grew up with me in this program,” he said, referring to the seven seniors on the team who have played together since their freshman year. “It’s probably the best team chemistry I’ve ever had in all my years here. They are competitors.” Looking back, Morgan said the season opened to a rocky start with the canceling of a scrimmage due to a COVID-19 scare. But then the team swept its first varsity tournament at Chico. “I thought, OK, we’re in good shape,” he said. “We got a lot of

good pieces but we were still kind of struggling with our identity.” Over the subsequent weeks, the girls developed into what Morgan called a solid defensive team with good offensive weapons on its way toward becoming a well-balanced machine. “The beauty of the Oak Ridge program is everybody wants to work hard. They love the sport and they love playing. Effort is never an issue for them.” Olivia Medina, an outside/defensive specialist, said her biggest lesson from this season was to always pick up her teammates, no matter how she feels she is performing. “It is so important to feed off each other’s energy,” she insisted. “That momentum can make or break a game.” While it was hard for her to pick a favorite moment from the season, she said winning section finals was a definite highlight. “It was amazing to be able to accomplish that my senior year, with the best team I could ask for,” said Medina. Defensive specialist McKenna Towne agreed. “We don’t have one star who runs the game. Every person on the court and bench plays an important role in making plays,” said the senior. “I feel like I can show up to practice and be myself. The biggest thing I’ve learned is having an emotional connection to the girls on the court makes you play better and support each other more.” Towne also ski races for the Oak Ridge alpine team and will be playing beach volleyball for University of San Francisco. For junior setter Leilani Yang, the team dynamic was strengthened during one of their annual camping trips. “All was going well until the power went out,” she reminisced. “We quickly realized during this time in the dark, we only had each other. It was a judgment free zone. Despite our different grades and personalities, we all shared something in common: our love for the sport and our determination to make this difficult n

“They had a lot of heart and a lot of grit. They put their egos aside and handled everything with class. “I’m just hoping that with the culture that we’ve built at the school that it continues, that every group builds upon that legacy,” he continued. “In this case it’s about hard work, playing to your ability and teamwork — doing what is necessary as a group to achieve their goals.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are so many moving parts to this weekend that it’s no longer possible to keep things simple. The best you can do is enjoy the unique brand of complexity cultivated by you and yours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even the toughest individuals will benefit from letting go of some rigidity. Warmth, flexibility, hospitality and agreeableness are the qualities that will rule the day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Play it loose and lively. Oddly enough, being too careful could cause mishaps, while a dash of recklessness excites everyone to be more alert. Trust in life’s flow. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give up trying to make sure everyone is taken care of. You wouldn’t want them to become too dependent on you! Everything in balance. It’s time for you to have your own kind of fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s not that someone falls for your charms, it’s that everyone does. Be careful where you wield that smile and don’t set up expectations you can’t manage. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s no way to prepare for the capture of your imagination. It happens quite without your consent! The events of the day will keep giving to you in the form of time-released inspiration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sing this day the way you would a song — beat by beat, measure for measure. Don’t worry about the next phrase until you get there. Devote your whole self to the part you’re on. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The most important criterion for determining the success or failure of a venture will be how well you connect with others. Nothing else will matter more than a sincere and heartfelt exchange. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe, technically, you can’t make another person happy. But you act, they get happy, and it seems to be entirely related. To whatever extent you can favorably influence the scene, you will. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do not expect the story to come with its own moral. Meaning is achieved in the mind of the observer. Order is established by the person who makes the list. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today you are the tide, not the shore. You’re naturally pulled to test the boundaries. Like the waves, you’ll touch down in different places, changing the landscape with your every move. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve paid your dues and experienced more than your share of forced awkwardness. Now, your work finds its own outlet. It’s wonderful not to have to push for these things! You’re grateful for all natural progressions.

County. “1383 is vast and has a lot of components,” he said. “It’s not a one-sizefits-all when it comes to the community we work and serve in. “We need to understand what our community needs here,” he continued. A pilot program was launched Oct. 27

for customers in Cold Springs Road, Mallard Lane and Highway 49 areas, encompassing a route in Placerville and into unincorporated county territory. Customers were given in-home pails to transport organic waste to their green waste cart. The pilot program will help El Dorado Disposal

answer questions of how to implement the program such as whether a weekly or bi-weekly pick up would be needed and what equipment customers might require. Some customers said they have been grateful for the organics pails while others said they do not need them as they compost themselves. A survey is going out to all customers in the pilot program to help build data El Dorado Disposal can use to help shape the program. Other areas of the county are targeted for future pilot programs. Approximately 27 million tons of organic waste were disposed of in 2017 in California with roughly 18% of that or 6 million tons being residential food waste, according to CalRecycle. AB 1383 regulations take effect Jan. 1, 2022, and enforcement is expected to begin. However, according to Reaksecker, many jurisdictions are behind in terms of CalRecycle’s expectations due to

setbacks during the pandemic. El Dorado Disposal expects full implementation by July 1, 2022. “As long as we show progress, programs and results, CalRecycle remains happy,” he said. “Ultimately, what we will be rated on is the amount of diversion,” said England. “Which in short gets down to the amount of material going to landfill relative to population numbers.” Another component of SB 1383 is the Edible Food Recovery Program, which aims at

identifying edible food waste and diverting it to food-insecure households. Reaksecker referenced a program already in the works with the county diverting edible food waste to local food pantries. The Mountain Democrat in June reported on the Surplus Food Program partnering CalRecycle, El Dorado County Waste Management and the Food Bank of El Dorado County. ”We believe there’s a lot of potential for teamwork in

that program,” said Reaksecker. California mandates that local jurisdictions have ordinances in place and enforced by 2024. Enforcement would require El Dorado Disposal to report offenders to county or city officials. The draft ordinance adding organic waste disposal reduction to Title 7 of the Health and Sanitation Code was introduced later in the City Council’s agenda and passed unanimously to return to council Dec. 14 for a final vote.

Shingle Springs youngster Ruby Mutzig, 10, adds an ornament to the Placer Title Company tree.

Guide Dogs for the Blind trainers hung guide dog and dog bone ornaments on the branches of their Christmas tree. Yellow Labradors Alejo, 17 weeks, being held, and Verano, 8 months, are both in puppy training. Black Lab Arnold, who Placerville resident Diane Lehr and granddaughter is 22 months old, is headed to Tulane University to learn to Grace Thixton, 5, hang ornaments on a tree adopted by the El Dorado Roses. serve as a comfort dog. One of the Highway 50 Christmas trees was decorated in memory of Larry Hyder, above, owner of Indian Rock Tree Farm and part founder of Trees for Troops, who died in July 2020. Decorating the tannenbaum are Sharon Neu and Wendy Neu of Placerville and Mark Thiessen of Camino — all are executive committee members of the El Dorado County Christmas Tree Growers Association. The tree topper is an Indian Rock Tree Farm cap. Three generations of the Blair family of Placerville, right, install their decorated tree. The family coordinated clothing — red and black plaid — with the ornaments for their tree, harkening back to the days of the Blair Brothers Lumber Company that was founded in the mid-1800s.

The Nava family of Placerville, which owns Paco’s Mexican Cuisine on Broadway, made their ornaments to look like something they know well — tacos. The lights on the tree are chili pepper shaped and there are also luchador wrestling masks. See the tree aglow beginning Friday night.

‘My Way’ A Tribute to Frank Sinatra

Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer

“M

y Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra” opens at Imagination Theater at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds Friday, Dec. 3. The production has been in rehearsal for nearly two years, having been postponed and rescheduled several times due to pandemic restrictions. On Dec. 3 the fruits of the cast’s and band’s long labors will hit the Lanny Langston Stage at Imagination Theater for a three-week engagement. “My Way” is the toe-tapping stroll down memory lane originally conceived by David Grapes and Todd Olson that premiered at the Tennessee Repertory Theatre in 2000 with Grapes directing. In the intervening 21 years, the tribute can boast multiple national tours and more than 500 amateur and professional productions around the country.

In an intimate, 1950s nightclub setting four virtuoso singers — Marc Bonham, Michelle Harwell, Erin Ward and David Zarka — tell Sinatra’s fascinating life story while sharing many of Old Blue Eyes’ most memorable hits. The concept of the revue is not to imitate Frank Sinatra, but to pay homage to his life and work with intricate and lavish solos, duets and foursomes that bring new life to many of The Voice’s old standards. Each performer has their moment to shine, lending their own style and charisma to the homage of Sinatra’s 50-plus year career. The ad hoc jazz ensemble with Jerri Myers, piano; Craig Zangari, bass; and Gary Campbell, drums, divvies out the sophisticated and dulcet jazz arrangements with an ease and charm that will keep audience members’ toes flexing throughout the evening. n

“Pecking Order” by Kellen Dyer

hen the Placerville Arts Association members issued a call to artists for the 55th National Mother Lode Art Exhibition in August, they didn’t expect the raging Caldor Fire to displace many in the El Dorado County artist community shortly after. Art works trickled in. Members watched and grieved for all impacted by this tragedy. Although many were worried about the anemic response to the upcoming show, they knew supporting the community at this time was a priority. And as the evacuation orders were lifted and many returned home, El Dorado County’s artist community rose to the occasion, as PAA had faith they would, and the art rushed in like a winter’s flood, making the show a smashing success.

This year PAA received 275 entries from various states and accepted 105. Accepted entries include works from 30 PAA members with the event exhibiting 42 of their works. PAA received 17 entries from other states and accepted 10 of those. A plethora of mediums, styles and subjects are represented in this impressive body of works. Artist Frank Ordaz judged the show and selected the following winners: • Beth Welch, Best in Show for “How Do You Handel Worry” • Cheryl Gleason, Award of Excellence for “Inner City” • Shirley Isola, Award of Excellence for “Wonder What He’s Thinking” • Carolyn Cunningham, Award of Excellence for “What Goes Around Comes Around” • Linda Heath Clark, Award of Merit for “Oaxaca Marketplace” and n

Old Coloma Theatre breaks fast with ‘Home Sweet Home’ or ‘Where To Hang The Holly!’ Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer

“H

ome Sweet Home” opens on Friday, Dec. 3, at the Olde Coloma Theatre. Olde Coloma has been churning out old-time melodrama theater in El Dorado County since 1972 with the edict of only producing original melodrama scripts. Each show features all the familiar tropes — the wicked villain, the handsome hero and the hapless and beautiful heroine in a slightly unbelievable circumstance through which the hero must save the day and vanquish the villain. “Home Sweet Home” or “Where To Hang The Holly!” is just such a story featuring the kindly widow Imogen Sweet (Vicki Baasch), who takes in orphans and created the Sweet Home For Wayward Youth when villain Sly Petticrook (Jason Boyer) tries to get rid of orphans Connie (Teddie Rubin), Po (Vincent De Quiroz) and Scarlet (Addison ‘Addy’ Baasch) so that he may abscond with the widow’s fortune. Hero Charlie Sweet (Ian Roberts) thwarts the devious plot while heroine Eleanor Reed (Megan Gavin) looks for true love. The sometimes-senile

Charlie Sweet (Ian Roberts), Eleanor Reed (Megan Gavin), Connie (Teddie Rubin), Scarlet (Addy Baasch), Po (Vincent De Quiroz), Imogen Sweet (Vicki Baasch), Head Master Savant (Theodore Fackrell) and Sly Petticrook (Jason Boyer), left to right, engage in melodramatic antics in the latest melodrama at Olde Coloma Theatre. “The historic environment melodrama creates, and the overall fun and enjoyment live theater fosters, is a big reason we do what we do,” he said. Olde Coloma Theatre is one of only a handful of theaters in the country dedicated to melodrama and has been educating audiences on the history of the genre for nearly 50 years ... with no plans to stop anytime soon.

Head Master Savant (Theodore Fackrell) helps the best he can. In true melodrama fashion, it all works out in the end. Written nearly six years ago by Lauren Williams, an Olde Coloma Theatre board member, this production has been mounted in past years. Director, actor and board member Boyer said he loves the oldtime feel of melodrama as an art form.

setting up the action. Gavin’s grandmother, Mary Beth, has been playing piano for the Olde Coloma shows for years, bringing Gavin to the theater. When Gavin was 13, Boyer recruited her for an upcoming production. Gavin said she enjoys immersing herself in the world of the play. “You walk through those doors and you kind of forget that you are in reality,” she explained. “This becomes your new reality.” Addison ‘Addy’ Baasch plays Scarlet Fever, one of the show’s orphans.

“Reminding people of a bygone era of live entertainment is extremely important to us,” Boyer said. “As long as there is an Olde Coloma Theatre, we will be dedicated to the art of melodrama.” This show marks actor Gavin’s first foray into playing a lead. “This is actually the first official role that I’ve had,” she said. “I’ve been a card girl for a couple of past summer shows.” A card girl (or boy) would appear between acts, presenting a card announcing the coming act or scene and maybe delivering a line or two

The actress, who has been acting since age 8, said she’s doing this show both because she missed being on stage and loves the character she gets to play. For the Baasch family, this is a family affair with Mom Vicki playing the widow and Addy’s sister Lauren working the lights. Vicki admitted she had no background in the theater and fell into this lifestyle by chance. “I was here seeing a show on a date,” she said. “I enjoyed that show so I brought my kids to the next one, a Halloween show.” During the meet and greet after the Halloween show one of the actors overheard young Addy say she would like to be on stage someday. “One of the actresses basically chased me down in the parking lot and asked me if I wanted to be in the Christmas show,” Addy said. “They gave her a script. She had a week or two to learn it and she nailed it,” Vicki proudly added. A couple of shows later Vickie joined a cast and shortly thereafter her daughter Lauren started working on lights. Ian Roberts who plays the hero, Charlie, actually bookmarked the pandemic shutdowns. “I was in the show before this — the final

Porter here’s a scene in “Ghostbusters: Democrat correspondent Afterlife” you’ve probably seen in the trailers: People Magazine’s newest “Sexiest Man Alive,” Paul Rudd, is shopping at Walmart (scary!) when he stops in an aisle for some ice cream toppings. This is where the cute Stay Puft marshmallow babies show up. While an entertaining moment, I had no idea why the mini Stay Pufts are even in there. In the original 1984 classic, Mr. Stay Puft was pulled out of the brain of Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) at the behest of the evil spirit Gozer as he considered who he could choose that wouldn’t destroy his fellow Ghostbusters. It was a specific character choice that benefited that exact moment in that specific story and remains one of the most surprising and funny reveals in cinema history. The Stay Puft characters(s) have absolutely no story use in this film, other than the nostalgia and marketing factor — and this film is swimming in nostalgia to the point where it’s almost drowning from it in the second half of the movie. The 2016 reboot “Ghostbusters: Answer The Call” — which fell flat on its face with critics and audiences alike — notwithstanding, many of us have been waiting for another true sequel to the original Ivan Reitman films starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and

Sigourney Weaver since 1989. Full disclosure: I’ve always been a big “Ghostbusters” fan. I vividly remember Dad taking me to the original film in 1984 (I’m showing my age now) and the theater erupting at the very first sight of Mr. Stay Puft. We’ve all seen him a million times at this point, but the first glimpse of a 100 foot marshmallow man walking through Manhattan was absurd,

bizarre and hysterical. I can still hear the laughter from that audience. After that came “The Real Ghostbusters” cartoon on Saturday mornings, which I adored. I was a Ghostbuster for Halloween in 1987. Needless to say, I’m one of the target audience members for this film. With the death of Harold Ramis seven years ago and the amount of time since the last film with the original cast (32 years), it would have behooved the filmmakers to keep this new movie in the same universe but take the film in a totally new direction. At times we get that, particularly in the first half of the film. Instead of New York we are in a small town in Oklahoma. Instead of aging Ghostbusters we get high school kids trying to uncover mysteries left at an abandoned farm house once owned by a character connected with the old movies. Most of it works and is unique to this movie, other than all the nods and winks from the original films sprinkled throughout. Where the movie runs out of gas — and the moment my interest started waning — was the last third of the film which becomes a bad remake of the original. We get story beats, characters and bad guys we’ve seen before. For a film with a mostly fresh and unique take in the first two acts, it surprised me that director Jason Reitman (son of original director Ivan Reitman) and writer Gil Kenan couldn’t come up with some new villains. Are there only one or two ancient, ultra-powerful, malignant entities from another dimension in this universe? On the casting side of things, you can’t get much better than the wonderful Mckenna Grace as Phoebe. This young lady absolutely carries this film and every scene with her front and center (which is a majority of the movie) benefits from her n

Theater rolls out red carpet for ‘Country’s Queen’ News release

UTTER CREEK — Known as “Country’s Queen,” celebrated country music legend Lacy J. Dalton comes to the Sutter Creek Theatre Saturday, Nov. 27. She will perform at 7 p.m. with Dale Poune. Dalton is a country singer and songwriter whose career has spanned many decades and touched the hearts of millions of music fans. In March 2017 Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame. She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music — the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Dalton caught the public’s ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of country music. Those who listen to a Dalton album find themselves pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist; she’s not merely performing a 10-song set, she’s bringing each and every tune to life. It’s as if they were all written especially for her. Awarded Best New Female Artist

Lacy J. Dalton brings her celebrated country music to the Sutter Creek Theatre this Saturday. by the Academy of Country Music in 1979, she also brought home numerous Grammy nominations and three prestigious, back-to-back (1979, 1980, 1981) Bay Area Music Awards for Best Country-Folk Recordings. She appeared on those shows with

the likes of Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. Dalton continues to record and perform. As an independent artist, she has released three albums,

starting with “Wild Horse Crossing” on her own label, Song Dog Records, in 1999. “Last Wild Place Anthology” went No. 1 on the World Independent Chart. A year later the CD went No. 1 on the American Western Music Chart and then Allison Eastwood, Clint Eastwwood’s daughter, used the hit song “Slip Away” from the anthology CD on the soundtrack of her independent film “Don’t Tell.” In 2010 she also released a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled “Here’s To Hank.” Poune provides great supporting vocals and guitar and mandolin music, making this a great show not to be missed. The award-winning historical Sutter Creek Theatre, 44 Main St. in Sutter Creek, is an intimate, 215seat former silent film theater with superb sound. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show at 7 p.m. There is open seating and beer/wine available for purchase. Previously sold tickets will be honored for this rescheduled date.

show two years ago,” he said. Roberts met Gavin at Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp and visited Olde Coloma to see a show she was involved with at the time, which led to him auditioning for a role. Roberts plays several musical instruments and plans to go into teaching. Much like so many other arts organizations, in early 2020 Olde Coloma had a plan for upcoming shows in the pipeline when lockdowns changed everything. “We had our 48th season all planned and ready to go. Within six weeks that all came crashing down,” said Boyer,

who is eager to bring melodrama back to the Olde Coloma stage with the lifting of live theater restrictions in California. “With a community excited about the arts and performances again, we’re thrilled to re-open both the theater and a real, live Christmas show after two years of being closed,” he continued. “Home Sweet Home” or “Where To Hang The Holly!” runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., Dec. 3-9, at the theater, 380 Monument Road in Coloma.

My Way

Continued from B1

Director and Imagination Theater co-founder Peter Wolfe said this show has been long-awaited and greatly anticipated. He commended the cast and crew for their dedication to this show and their craft. “In a truly history-making effort; this cast maintained a once-a-week rehearsal schedule for 21 months,” Wolfe shared. “They managed to master the music while remaining friends and never losing sight of the opportunity to share their considerable talents with the community.” The theater community’s support of this production through the pandemic is worthy of praise, according to Wolfe. “‘My Way’ has been a very long time in the making,” he said. “The Imagination Theater Board of Directors, the families of the cast and crew and my wife Karen have unwaveringly supported this production through many long, dark days.” Music and vocal director Jerry Myers admitted that the lengthy rehearsal process not only provided ample time for camaraderie but also helped her and the cast members tackle the sometimes-challenging jazz styles and demanding harmonies. “‘My Way’ has been the most challenging show I have ever done,” she said. “I am thankful for the extended time we have had preparing for this production,” Myers added. “It has all come together and will lead to the most memorable time the audience will have.” The 22-year Imagination Theater veteran said she’s never laughed so much during a rehearsal process, sharing, “I am enjoying every minute of my friendship with this cast, band and crew.” For actor/singer David Zarka, who has been seen in a number of productions at Imagination Theater, this show is a return to his roots. He and his wife Deb even count Sinatra’s 1957 classic “All the Way”

Buttered

as “their song.” “The music of Frank Sinatra is an integral flavor of my life,” Zarka said. “Needless to say, when Peter Wolfe asked if I would like to be in a show which pays tribute to the music of ‘The Voice,’ I unhesitatingly told him, ‘Count me in!’” Zarka, a silver-headed gentleman, jokingly alluded to the lengthy rehearsal process, “My hair was brown when we started this adventure.” But he admitted he wouldn’t trade that extended rehearsal time with his friends and cast-mates for anything. “I have had more than my share of laughs and joy with this talented group of vocalists.” Imagination Theater regular, Erin Ward said this show is a return to her roots as well. “I was a member of the award-winning Folsom High School Jazz Choir and learned so many of these old standards,” she said. “It fueled my interest in jazz at a young age and gave me a lifelong love of performing with groups of amazing people, like this cast, who find joy in creating musical harmony together.” Stalwart Imagination Theater actor and techie Marc Bonham confessed an ongoing fear that this show may never see the light of day. “There were times over the last 20 or so months that I didn’t think we would ever get to do this again,” he said. “The first rehearsal on the stage was a relief and incredibly emotional for me.“ Over the last 10 years, Bonham has been on stage many times but shared that this time the feeling is somehow distinctive from other experiences. “This one feels different, special.” “My Way” marks a return to the live stage for the 20-plus-year-old community theater. The theater’s board of directors, staff and volunteers have been hard at work preparing their 180 seat facility at the fairgrounds in Placerville to welcome their

many fans who have supported them through the pandemic. “Thank you to all of our friends for always being there for us.,” said Wolfe. “Without unflagging community support, we would not still be here. We will now be redoubling our efforts to bring quality theater experiences to you — our friends and neighbors.” “My Way” runs Friday, Dec. 3, through Sunday, Dec. 19, with 7 p.m. shows Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and two 2 p.m. matinées on Sundays. Purchase tickets online at itplacerville.org.

I also quite liked the music by Rob Simonsen who uses several of the musical cues from the original movie but then blazes his own trail with new themes and sounds. I’ll be interested in checking out the score when I have the chance. Speaking of sounds: one thing no Ghostbusters film hasn’t quite gotten right since the original is the look and sound of the proton-packs and beams of energy that flow out of them. 1989’s “Ghostbusters II” didn’t quite match the sounds and neither did the 2016 remake. Clearly director Reitman was aware of this and has returned the visual and sound effects to where they should be. If I sound like I am going back and forth on

my feelings on this one you, dear reader, you are correct. This is a film that works when it blazes its own trail but the ground falls from underneath its feet when it relies too heavily on the original film about 60% into it. With that caveat I would still recommend this film, especially for families, since it works best in that genre. What it lacks in comedy and consistency it almost makes up with heart. Next week: “The Beatles: Get Back.” Joshua B. Porter is a writer/director/producer. His most recent project, the feature film “No Evidence OF Man,” is now being submitted to festivals. He still needs more sleep and can be reached at @ joshuabporter or joshuabporter@mtdemocrat.net.

performance. She’s going to be a huge star. Paul Rudd is good as always as Summer School teacher Mr. Grooberson, who seems to be one of the few people who understands and appreciates Phoebe’s brain. He also seems to be the only one who remembers who the Ghostbusters are and what they did for New York in the 1980s. Carrie Coon and “Stranger Things” actor Finn Wolhard are good as Phoebe’s mother and brother, respectively, though they aren’t given much to do. The film was shot by cinematographer Eric Steelberg and it looks great, easily being the best photographed film in the series with its midwest locales and warm color palette.
