Update to Traffic Impact Fee, capital projects OK’d n TIF program estimated

to bring in more than $322 million over 20 years Dawn Hodson Staff writer The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors last week unanimously approved county Department of Transportation staff’s recommendations regarding a major update of the Traffic Impact Fee and capital improvement programs.

In doing so the board OK’d proposed nonresidential and residential offsets (using projected alternative funding sources to help pay for road improvements i.e. state and federal money and reserves) and a three-zone fee program alternative for implementation — Zone 3: El Dorado Hills; Zone 2: Cameron Park/Shingle Springs and El Dorado/Diamond Springs; and Zone 1, the rest of the county’s unincorporated areas (Tahoe Basin excluded).

This alternative does raise fees for singlefamily and multi-family dwellings in Zones 1 and 2; Zone 3 will see a slight decrease. Nonresidential fees vary on the proposed land use; some uses will see increases while others will see lower fees.

Staff was directed to return Dec. 8 with the appropriate resolution for adoption of the update to the TIF program and incorporate the changes into the 2021 El Dorado County Capital Improvement Program. The new fees will go into effect 60 days after adoption.

The county’s TIF program — estimated to bring in more than $322 million over a 20-year period — will help fund the CIP, which covers road improvements anticipated to be needed over the next two decades to accommodate growth in the county.

Historical society to take over old DA’s office Thomas Frey Staff writer A pair of neighboring vacant buildings in downtown Placerville dating back to 1939 have been turned over to the El Dorado County Historical Society for potential restoration or preservation.

The two buildings that were formerly El Dorado County District Attorney’s offices at 515 and 525 Main St. in downtown Placerville have stood empty since the DA moved out in 2017.

The building at 515 Main St. was built in 1939 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal program while the building at 525 was built in 1936. Each has served multiple purposes over the last 80 years.

The smaller building at 525 Main St. was once a Pacific Bell Telephone

Office while the bigger building at 515 Main St. once was the home of the U.S. Post Office.

The Placerville Planning Commission is encouraging the El Dorado County Historical Society to restore the building for institutional uses. The historical society also owns the Fountain and Tallman Museum at 524 Main St., the historical location of the old Fountain-Tallman Soda Works. The museum holds artifacts from Placerville’s history dating back more than 150 years.

El Dorado County Historical Society President Jill Kearney said the buildings could become a hub to the community with offices inside for historical preservation groups like the Highway 50 Association. The goal is to make it a place where people can go and learn all about the history of El n

James “Jim” Treleaven

October 2, 1931 – Oct. 31, 2020

Jim Treleaven died in his sleep of renal failure Halloween morning, after a pain free and peaceful night at his home in Camino, Calif. He had struggled for years with dementia, a valiant fighter who despite his health, kept his kindness and humor.

Jim was born in Detroit, Mich., on Oct. 2, 1931 and moved with his family to California when he was in high school and joined the U.S. Navy shortly thereafter. He had a variety of careers and interests over his lifetime. He was a signalman serving on the U.S. Navy Destroyer USS Grady during the Korean War. When he lived in Los Gatos, Calif., he was involved with The Santa Clara Valley Regional Group of The Horseless Carriage Club of America where he served as president in 1971. Jim restored a Model T and a Speedster during his club engagement and thoroughly enjoyed the club tours with his family and friends. Another interest he had was with PT (Patrol, Torpedo) boats. He even built a quarter scale PT boat which is now in a museum in Battleship Cove, Mass. It was the largest PT boat built after World War II and can be sailed by one person and uses a jet ski motor. Jim was also a square dance caller for 25 years and a leader in the dance community. The last job he had was as the owner of a company called Sierra Striping in Placerville, where he used his creative artistry in design.

In retirement, Jim enjoyed traveling with his wife of 40 years, Sue Treleaven. Together they traveled throughout North America in an RV and shared a few international adventures with friends. Jim will be remembered for many things, but mostly for his great sense of humor. He was respected and loved by many and made friends everywhere he went.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and he found great joy spending time with his family and friends.

Jim is survived by his loving wife Sue Treleaven, children James Treleaven (Diane) of Vacaville, Calif., Jeffrey Treleaven of Placerville, Calif., and Alison Treleaven of Redondo Beach, Calif.; stepchildren Eric Knight (Deborah) of Oceanside, Calif., and Katy Knight (Mike Cordis) of Camino, Calif.; brother Sidney Treleaven (Barbara) of Roseville, Calif., and sister Helen Tapp (Marshall) of Sandpoint, Idaho; eight grandchildren Miranda Treleaven, Ian Treleaven (Shawna), Traci Treleaven, Alex Knight, Kevin Knight, Melissa Mayes (Geoff ), Melody Elskes (John) and Matt Abreu; three greatgrandchildren, Mina Chowdhury, Rylee Treleaven, Ezra Treleaven and his beloved dogs Buddy and Cheese. He is preceded in death by his parents Sidney and Edna Treleaven and siblings, William “Bill” Treleaven and Margaret “Peg” Bribes. Due to COVID-19, services will be held at a later date.

EDHCSD seeks input on vision for future n Weigh in on proposed

park amenities, ‘big ticket items’ Sel Richard Staff writer

El Dorado Hills residents are being called upon to weigh in on the community’s future. In efforts to accurately assess the area’s needs, the EDH Community Services District is circulating a survey to gauge community desires and has extended the deadline to Dec. 7.

The El Dorado Hills Community Master Plan, updated every five years, includes an inventory of the district’s parks and facilities, demographics and statistics of El Dorado Hills and community attitudes regarding the CSD’s role in the future of the area.

“This Master Plan is like a GPS that will provide direction to district staff as we repair and renovate existing parks and facilities, and build new ones in the future,” explained CSD Communications Specialist April West.

An aging population, more working from home due to the impact of COVID-19 and continued growth all contribute to the need for an update.

“The survey allows us to collect input and use this data to map out our next five years and beyond,” said West. “This is a unique, interactive survey that allows the community to tell us what parks they visit, how often they go, how they get there and what changes

they may want to see at the individual parks. We want to make sure and invest in what we already have and this feedback allows us to do just that.”

Residents will have the opportunity to vote on new park elements such as a surfing pool or all-ability play elements, as well as offer freeform responses. Furthermore, the survey gathers opinions on big ticket items like a possible multi-generational community center or an aquatics center.

Directives from the 2016 update to the master plan resulted in enhancement of park amenities such as the installation of shade structures, bocce ball courts, barbecues and park restrooms, interpretive signage along New York Creek trail, synthetic recreation fields, gymnasium and pool renovation and playground updates.

A sustainability policy was adopted, resulting in the Sustainability Solar Project in which lighting upgrades and solar panels were added throughout the district.

In addition, new community programs were launched including the fishing derby, a special needs theatre group, Trunk or Treat, Earth Day EDH, Senior Luau, Adopt-aPark, Volunteer HUB, Skin Cancer Awareness campaign and Parks and Planning community meetings.

The survey is optimized for a Chrome web browser on computers and also compatible with smart phones. To offer your views visit bit. ly/3k5ok1f.

Court commissioner named El Dorado County Superior Court News release The El Dorado County Superior Court has appointed Gary S. Slossberg as court commissioner.

After an extensive search and vetting by the entire bench, Slossberg was appointed by Presiding Judge Suzanne Kingsbury. Slossberg will be based in Placerville but will serve in all of the courts in the county. He will specialize in cases involving family law, child support, domestic violence and civil harassment, juvenile dependency and delinquency, traffic, limited civil cases, as well as overflow matters as assigned by the presiding judge.

Slossberg was most recently employed as an attorney with the Judicial Council of California in support of the Assembly Bill 1058 Child Support Program, where, among other tasks, he coordinated the program’s statewide child support training conference, including leading its transition to an entirely virtual conference due to the health crisis.

Prior to this employment Slossberg served the Superior Court as the family law facilitator and self-help attorney and also served as a temporary judge handling traffic and small claims matters. He previously worked as a legal services attorney providing free legal representation to low-income clients primarily in family law matters, first at the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice and later at Live Violence Free in South Lake Tahoe.

Slossberg has been very active in the community, presenting to legal professionals on working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, on tax law as applied to child support calculations and on updates to child support case law. He

also was a volunteer law instructor at People’s College of Law, teaching courses on corporations, professional responsibility, community property and philosophy of the law.

He previously served as a board member on the Hollywood United and East Hollywood Neighborhood Councils, the Legal Aid Association of California and the Violence Prevention Coalition of Greater Los Angeles, where he led the drafting of the organization’s founding charter. He is the committee chair of his son’s Cub Scout pack and interviews applicants to Harvard College as part of the Harvard Club of Sacramento’s Alumni Interviewing Panel.

In law school Slossberg coordinated spring break trips to Haiti, Guatemala and Cuba to provide assistance to legal services organizations there. In 2015 Slossberg was honored with an Award of Merit from the California Commission on Access to Justice and the Legal Aid Association of California.

Slossberg received his juris doctorate from Harvard Law School where he received the Gary Bellow Public Service Award. He went on to receive a master’s in elementary education from Loyola Marymount University.

Slossberg also has a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in political science from the University of Florida where he was a valedictorian for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and honored as the Most Outstanding Male Leader of the 1998 graduating class.

Slossberg began his commissioner duties Nov. 9. Court commissioners are subordinate judicial officers employed by the court. They can be assigned by the presiding judge to a variety of calendars including family law, probate, traffic and civil/small claims.

In defense of Gov. Newsom

G

ov. Gavin Newsom has come under blistering attack for partying at one of the few restaurants he has not yet forced out of business, defying his own idiotic COVID-19 edicts. He should be praised. He was doing TOM McCLINTOCK what we all used to do in a free society: make our own decisions over what risks we are willing to run and what precautions we are willing to take according to our own circumstances to protect our own health.

Yes, COVID is a nasty bug. A quarter of a million Americans have died while having it. But it isn’t the bubonic plague. The Centers for Diseas Control’s best estimate is that the recovery rate for those younger than 49 is 99.92%. Even for those older than 70 the survival rate is 94.6% and 40% of the people who get it don’t even know they have it. Yet we have turned our society upside-down — destroying countless businesses, throwing tens of millions into unemployment, robbing our children of their education and shredding our most cherished rights as Americans.

Gov. Newsom’s night of partying should be a wake-up call to every California Gov. Gavin American.

Every time we Newsom displayed step outside our his right to selfhomes the risks we govern by attending face multiply. A free society assumes a large gathering. that its citizens are More people should competent to assess follow suit. those risks, balance them against the avoidance costs and manage their decisions in a generally responsible way. It’s called common sense and is a necessary prerequisite for self-government and liberty.

The choices of an octogenarian with emphysema in New York might be very different from those of a healthy governor in California.

Only a fool would claim the omniscience to make an informed judgment for every person in every circumstance in every community. Sadly, the crisis has revealed that fools abound in public office and that a fool with power can quickly become a petty tyrant.

Which brings us back to Gov. Newsom. These government nannies love to tell us that they’re just following the science. What does the science tell us? It tells us that COVID-19 poses virtually no risk to children but can be severe among the elderly. So what did these lockdown leftists do?

They closed all the schools and ordered infected patients into nursing homes.

The science tells us that outdoor transmissions of the virus are extremely rare and that 80% of infections occur in people’s homes. So what did these lockdown leftists do? They closed our beaches, parks and campgrounds and ordered people to stay at home.

The science tells us that obesity is a contributing factor to the severity of the disease.

Letters to the Editor Grateful for support EDITOR: his letter is both a thank you and a goodbye.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Snowline Hospice for the wonderful care they gave to my husband, Frank Finegan. Their care, compassion, knowledge and comforting ways guided us through the last months of his life.

Frank and I have two sons, Barry (Stephanie) and Kevin (Shelly), four grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Our family and friends have surrounded me with love and support for which I can never thank them enough.

To my beloved husband of 53 years — I love you.

Goodbye.

Back to school EDITOR: feel bad for our kids in the elementary and high schools and also the teachers.

From the parents I have talked to 90% would like to have their kids back to school full time. Let’s set a county-wide goal to get our kids back in school full time starting the second Monday in January 2021.

Response to Hal Petrie EDITOR: would like to respond to Hal Petrie’s letter in the Nov. 16 edition of the Mountain Democrat.

Mr. Petrie suggests that the Scientific Safety Review Workgroup was organized by Gov. Newsom so that the governor could “hire a bunch of his campaign contributors and assign them to a worthless committee and pay them ten times what they are worth.”

The members of the Scientific Safety Review Workgroup are medical doctors and scientists associated with institutions such as UC Berkeley School of Public Health, UCLA, Packard Children’s Hospital, UCSF, Kaiser Permanente, Stanford Medicine and public health officials from San Francisco and Orange counties. The purpose of this group is to review the safety and efficacy of any approved vaccine prior to public distribution in California.

I believe that the individuals on the workgroup

I

have a vested interest in the health and wellbeing of all Californians. I realize that Mr Petrie’s description of “our on-the-ball governor” was meant to be sarcastic, but I must say the governor is “on the ball” and understands the urgency of getting this virus under control in California.

ANNE BETTENCOURT Placerville

God bless America EDITOR: ur American flag is the banner we fly high, signifying who we are, who we have been and our hopes and dreams for our country in the future. That is my so many of us Americans proudly stand and place our hand over our heart while we say the Pledge of Allegiance, often with tears in our eyes and a solemness in our hearts.

God bless America — the land of the free.

Run for change EDITOR: t appears intrepid columnist Larry Weitzman, with his Balancing Act screed, has devolved into a pathetic name-caller: i.e. “Gov. Gruesome Nuisance.”

Mr. Weitzman seems to have all the answers when it comes to the incompetence and/or ineffectiveness of local and state government. His continual denial of climate change and constant shilling for the oil companies and all vehicles non-electric are getting more than tiresome.

I have a suggestion for Mr. Weitzman. Why doesn’t he get off his soapbox and run for elective office here in El Dorado County or perhaps for the California Legislature? Instead of weeping and wailing and gnashing his teeth in our local newspaper he could work for the change he wants in an elective office.

Perhaps there is a reason that he will not or cannot toss his hat in the ring. Fill us in on your reluctance to run, Larry.

The Not So Weekly Daley

Interpreting fever dreams from the Big Apple

M

aybe you saw it last week.

Guy from New York, used to be relevant there in NYC, respected by millions, gives a 90-minute “press conference.”

Along the way he begins to ooze copious amounts of Big Apple, CHRIS has-been lawyer sweat.

He mops his brow and upper lip furiously and continuously, which does little more than reflect a lot of light off the diamonds in the 2-pound ring on his right pinky.

Eventually, the hair dye starts tumbling down already damp cheeks onto his white shirt collar.

Clearly, he’s not yet aware of that development. Nobody on his team calls his attention to it either. It’s a goofy reminder of the famous fly that visited Mike Pence’s hair during the vice presidential debate but not as funny.

Not surprisingly, my thoughts turned immediately to QAnon.

Yours might have as well. And if like me you’ve been wondering just what a Satanworshipping, childmolesting cannibal looks like, you need look no further than the once-relevant DALEY character gushing sweat and hair dye right in front of an audience of perhaps millions of live TV viewers.

Pence’s fly was comical. This was something I haven’t yet found words for, but I will.

That show wasn’t over yet — not by a long shot. The lawyer who followed the QAnon poster boy kept the serious tone of the “press conference.” She introduced a number of never-before heard theories on things no one has ever before heard of.

My favorite was the one about

Eventually, the hair dye starts tumbling down already damp cheeks onto his white shirt collar. Clearly, he’s not yet aware of that development. Nobody on his team calls his attention to it either.

Venezuela’s former president Hugo Chavez having had a large hand in the recent election improprieties.

Not surprisingly, my thoughts turned immediately to “A Christmas Carol” in general and Marley’s Ghost in particular. Like Marley, Chavez has been “dead these seven years.”

(Full disclosure): A significant tenet of QAnon, it’s said, is that the practitioners of the dark arts in question gain immortality from their diet of sexually-abused children. So, if true, it’s not out of the question that Chavez could indeed have orchestrated some or all of the ongoing election hijinks. No one could doubt that Hugo Chavez would be a card-carrying member of that tribe. Which, by the way, has no name that I can find.

A fun contest for COVID stayat-homers might be to come up with a cool name for that group or movement.

As of Monday, the president’s campaign, yes the one that brought us the NYC guy‘s meltdown and the Chavez unmasking, announced that the woman at issue, in fact, is not and maybe never was attached to the campaign. That means she wasn’t really standing with all the other campaigners and the sweaty fellow at the podium and didn’t really address the American people on national television.

Which seems like a good place to stop and wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

two hours. It’s all right to go inside to use the bathroom but only if it is frequently sanitized.

Otherwise, presumably, you’ll just have to use the bushes. And for God’s sake — no singing!

So let us not criticize Gov. Newsom. Perhaps he has just offered us all deliverance from his own folly. Nor should we criticize the California legislators who ignored travel and quarantine restrictions to junket to Hawaii. Nor should we ridicule Speaker Pelosi for choosing not to wear a mask in a hair salon that was forced to close for the rest of us.

Good for them. They are demonstrating by their own actions the freedom that every American citizen should reclaim from these very same people. The governor should make his own decisions about running his own life. Perhaps now he and his ilk will stop telling the rest of us how to run ours.

So what did these lockdown leftists do? They closed all the gyms and kept open the liquor stores.

These lockdowns haven’t saved lives. The states with the most stringent lockdowns generally have the highest mortality rates from COVID. Compare Utah and Colorado. Utah stayed open while next door, Colorado shut down. Utah currently has half the COVID mortality rate and three-quarters the unemployment rate. But the lockdowns have cost countless lives from suicides, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic homicides, deferred health screening and treatment and poverty related deaths.

Recently Gov. Newsom demanded that restaurant diners replace their masks after every bite, but at the same time minimize the times they take them off. Obviously, this requires very big bites.

Thanksgiving dinners are allowed in California, but only when they are held outside, guests are seated 6 feet apart and they last no more than

- ski resorts are open Tahoe Daily Tribune

Courtesy photo

Sierra-at-Tahoe opened Wednesday, Sugar Bowl Resort opens today and Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, pictured, opens Wednesday.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The snow has arrived and with it Lake Tahoe area ski resorts have opened or are very close to firing up their lifts.

Sierra-at-Tahoe opened Wednesday with a season passholders appreciation weekend.

“The long wait is over. Sierra-atTahoe will open for the 2020-21 winter season Wednesday exclusively for season passholders,” states Sierra-at Tahoe management on its website.

“With plenty of snow on the ground and top to bottom skiing and riding, we are excited to welcome you back to the place ‘where play reigns free.’ With the entire winter season ahead of us we look forward to opening up the opportunity to ski or ride to our daily visitors Nov. 30.”

Open lifts and carpets include Grandview Express, Tahoe King, Nob Hill, Rock Garden, Easy Rider Express, Slider Carpet, Chill Carpet and Magic Carpet. The Broadway terrain park is also open.

Sierra-at-Tahoe restaurants will be serving to-go meals with no indoor dining but an expanded outdoor seating area will be open, weather permitting, according to the resort’s website.

Visitors are asked to read up on the latest information on coronavirus precautions on the mountain at sierraattahoe.com/how2play.

Sugar Bowl Resort Sugar Bowl Resort opened today.

The 32 inches of natural snow that fell this month, combined with plentiful snowmaking means they can open with six lifts — Nob Hill, Mt. Lincoln Express, Christmas Tree Express, Jerome Hill Express and the Flume surface lift — offering top-to-bottom skiing and riding from the 8,383-foot summit of Mt. Lincoln.

There will be no walk-up, day-of

purchases for lift tickets, rentals or lessons this season at Sugar Bowl. Lift tickets must be purchased online at least one day in advance, while rentals and lessons must be reserved at least three days in advance.

Lift tickets have sold out for opening day – Friday, Nov. 27 – and Saturday, Nov. 28. However, a small quantity of lift tickets are available for those who purchase rentals or a private lesson at least three days in advance or until space fills (which ever occurs first).

Lift tickets, rentals and lessons remain available for Sunday, Nov. 29, and beyond – through Dec. 18. They have not yet released tickets for the period beyond Dec. 18, but plan to do so during the first week of December.

All guests and staff must wear a face covering at all times — inside and outside. Face coverings may only be removed when skiing/snowboarding downhill or eating/drinking outdoors.

Guests are asked to not congregate when visiting and remain at least 6 feet away from other unrelated guests and staff. On the chairlifts, those who arrive together may ride together.

Chairs will be loaded with up to four people in a related party. Otherwise, quad chairs will be loaded with two people per chair, each on the outside edge.

Be prepared for an outdoor experience during your visit, as indoor access will be limited to using the restroom, taking a 15-minute warming break in a monitored warming zone or purchasing graband-go food items to eat outdoors.

There will be credit/debit/gift card payments only. Sugar Bowl will be cashless this winter for all in-resort purchases, including food, beverages and retail items.

All Sugar Bowl staff members will participate in daily health screenings at the start of their shift.

Visitors should read Sugar Bowl’s n

“We are excited to preserve the building,” Kearney said.

Shortly after the U.S. Post Office took over the building painter Tom Lewis was hired to create a 4-by-14 foot oil painting that still hangs in the building today. The artwork, “Forest Genetics,” depicts a forestry conservation theme, according to livingnewdeal.org, a crowdsourced project hosted by the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley.

“I want to get in there and see that mural that’s in the post office building,” said Planning Commissioner Barbara Raines.

“I’d much rather have it occupied by historical items than have it shut down so nobody gets to see that mural.”

It ain’t Thanksgiving without stuffing and making it up fresh Wednesday at the Pollock PinesCamino Community Center are Bill Simonson, Vicky Vail and Steven Laam, from left.

Thanksgiving the birds and all the traditional fixings for up to 350 people, plus another 75 to 100 meals for those homebound.

On Thanksgiving day, starting around noon, people drove up to the community center and ordered what they need. Other meals were delivered.

“People are so appreciative … they are in tears,” Filgate said.

“It’s incredible how many people come on Thanksgiving.”

Debra Medley, the on-site manager at Ponderosa Mobile Estates along with her husband, said residents feel very blessed that dinners were delivered to 50 of them. “They are shocked it’s being done,” she said, noting many of the residents can’t go to their relatives’ homes this year due to COVID-19 or can’t travel to the community center because of medical reasons.

“In the past we used to get together for a potluck dinner,” said Medley. “But not this year. It’s just too dangerous.”

Continued from A1 And these meals didn’t just feature turkey.

Volunteers also cooked up pots of delicious mashed potatoes, yams and vegetables that were served along with rolls. They also got a slice of lip-smacking pie or fresh apples donated

by Rainbow Orchards, Boa Vista and Grandpa’s Cellar.

“It’s incredible that despite what these businesses have gone through with COVID and all that they still find it in their heart to donate,” Filgate said.

“The community is very generous in their donations of food and

money to hold these annual events,” she continued. “The pastor of Ridge Church donated 10 turkeys.”

The same volunteers will also provide a free Christmas dinner Dec. 13. This time ham will be featured. Like at Thanksgiving, those who can’t drive up and get dinner will have it delivered to their home.

Along with dinner Santa Claus will be at the community center to greet everyone and give out toys for children — also donated.

“This is a very, very giving community,” Filgate said.

Red maple trees add a pop of color along Golden Center Drive in Placerville as its leaves fade into fall.

Heavenly and Kirkwood mountain resorts

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is reporting 32 inches of new snow and will open Wednesday with limited terrain. Due to COVID-19 no indoor space will be available, only outside seating and to-go options for food and drink.

To ensure a safe and long season, Squaw is encouraging guests to take a look at its guidelines at squawalpine. com/what-to-expect-winter-2020-21 to help reduce the spread of COVID19. While on the property guests and staff must wear a mask when inside, in the Village, in the lift line, on the chair lift, in any common indoor area — every place you can be except while you are skiing and riding. For the health and safety of guests and employees, and to keep what will hopefully be a great ski season going, Squaw will be enforcing COVID guidelines.

Due to COVID-19, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows will be closely managing visitation by tightly controlling the sale of lift tickets.

This season guests will not be able to walk up to a lift ticket window and purchase a lift ticket. All lift tickets will be sold online and in advance.

The only way to get a lift ticket for weekend use or for use before Jan. 4 is by staying at The Village at Squaw

Heavenly Mountain Resort was able to hit its targeted opening date of Nov. 20. Kirkwood Mountain Resort is set to open Dec. 4.

All skiers and snowboarders must make reservations before arriving at the Vail Resorts-owned mountains, lift tickets will go on sale Dec. 8 after passholders have a chance to make reservations.

Seven of Heavenly’s 27 lifts are operating with 9% of its terrain and 11 trails open, as of Wednesday morning. Skiers and riders must use the California base area to access the mountain.

There will be no indoor dining at Heavenly, which is located in El Dorado County where the state’s most restrictive COVID-19 guidelines are in place, while Kirkwood, in lesservirus-impacted Alpine County will have reduced capacity in its dining facilities. All of Kirkwood’s bars will be closed.

Heavenly and Kirkwood officials encourage guests to bring their own water, food and snacks.

The Heavenly gondola is only available for sightseeing until Dec. 3.

After Dec. 3, sightseeing will be based on availability.

oys for Tots El Dorado County-Placerville program volunteers are ready to spread some much-needed holiday cheer to local children — and they need your help.

The nonprofit, led by coordinator Stacie Walls, is highlighting the annual toy drive benefitting children with a drive-thru toy donation event at the Bell Tower in downtown Placerville, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 5 & 6.

“No matter the issue this Toys for Tots campaign will follow the unofficial Marine Corps motto of ‘Adapt, overcome and improvise,’” said Walls.

Volunteers for the toy donation include Toys for Tots volunteers, the Hangtown Marshals, the Placerville Police Department and California Highway Patrol officers.

Several Main Street merchants will offer special discounts if people mention they are purchasing items for the Toys for Tots campaign, Walls said. The program needs appropriate toys for ■

“Y

ou’re a mean one, 2020.”

It’s been a year to say the least and even as the holidays approach, some may be feeling more grouchy than usual. If taking those traditional cheerful holiday photos with the family is exactly what you don’t feel like doing, there’s now an alternative. Kilburn Live, a market leader in the live entertainment industry, announced a new partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, a global leader in educational entertainment, to create The Grinch’s Grotto, an imaginative take on holiday photo shoots that will give guests a fun way to show off a bit of their grumpiness during what is still the most wonderful time of the year.

Presented in partnership with retail leaders such

as Westfield Group, Brookfield Properties, Macerich and Turnberry, The Grinch’s Grotto will launch on Black Friday across a limited number of flagship malls throughout North America including the Roseville Galleria. Guests will enter these freestanding locations for a one-of-a-kind visit with The Grinch in his special cave for a photo-shoot and other special surprises that are both intimate and — in true Grinch fashion — socially distant.

“If there was ever a year where The Grinch really would take over the holiday season, it’s 2020,” said Kilburn CEO Mark Manuel. “It’s been said even the meanest soul is moved by Christmas and at its core this Dr. Seuss story is about finding your own way to redemption which is what inspired ■

PHILLIP HOWARD After graduating with the highest honors, he started his own company — The Right Music — providing music and sound services for film and video, as well as recording and producing music for other artists. It was the recent addition of a baby grand piano to the home he shares with his wife Nancy,

that rekindled his desire to write and perform his own music.

When not sitting at the piano, Howard can often be found with his feet in the ocean, sharing great wine and conversations with friends or sharing his love of live theater and film with his wife.

T

he Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts at University of California, Davis, recently announced that, for the first time in its almost 20-year history, the center will not present a season of live events in the 2020–21. This decision arises as a result of the current pandemic, with both national and international artists canceling their tours and with the continued restrictions on indoor events.

“We have said repeatedly that we would return to presenting events only when it was safe to do so — clearly that time is not yet at hand,” said Executive Director Don Roth.

“But while our theaters will remain dark for the remainder of this season, we want you, our loyal public, to know that we

We are in the process of putting together what we believe will be a remarkable Mondavi Center season, typical in its excellence and variety and presented in a manner that keeps the health and safety of our audience and artists at top of mind.”

Current subscribers and ticket holders are being contacted by the Mondavi Center ticket office with options for returning their tickets,

including donations to the center, event credits for future events and refunds.

The Mondavi Center will continue to program virtual HomeStage events through 2021.

Upcoming HomeStage events include: • Nov. 27: Yo-Yo Ma & Kathryn Stott, Songs of Comfort and Hope • Dec. 5: Donna Sternberg & Dancers with Meredith Tromble, The Vortex • Dec. 18–20: Manual Cinema, “A Christmas Carol”

American River College’s ‘Lysistrata’ is like no Greek play you’ve ever seen ■ Show starts tonight News release If you were to accurately translate Aristophanes’ Greek comedy “Lysistrata” — truly following the meaning of the original language — you might find those ancient Greeks were a pretty sexy, raucous bunch.

Tender ears beware, that is exactly what translator Sarah Ruden has done. Now Ruden’s bawdy translation has been brought to life by the American River College Theatre. Its upcoming production of the comedy adds to the danger and the fun of this hilarious play by offering seven livestreamed performances (Nov. 27 through Dec. 6). It’s honestto-goodness live theater with all the excitement and potential mayhem that live performances offer, but from the comfort of your living room.

Produced under conditions that can best be described as unfriendly to live theater, “Lysistrata’s” director Pamela Downs decided to give her actors and her audience the rush of doing an online show live. This means she has all sorts of contingency plans, each designed with the audience in mind. If someone’s screen locks up, another actor is at the ready; if someone’s audio is garbled, the audience will hear the lines from another source ... as if by magic. This “magic” will come after roughly two months of preparation and weeks and weeks of technical rehearsals. Technical director Kathy Burleson has been tasked with making it all work — and work it does.

The story of “Lysistrata” is as hilarious as it is topical. It is the most popular of all Greek comedies, wherein the women of the Greek cities band together to end the wars by withholding

sex until the men agree to sign a peace treaty.

ARC’s production introduces the wonderful Jude Owens as the title character and features a few esteemed alums (including the Los Angeles-based actor Liesel Hanson) as well as some of the best student actors.

Ruden’s naughtily accurate language, as well as the brief appearance of those pesky nude puppets, nets this production an “R” rating. ARC’s spirited actors and their fearless director also rate it G for good fun.

To view the show go to ARCTheatre.org in advance to secure a digital ticket. The cost of each ticket is “pay-what-youcan,” which will help defray the many expenses involved in the production.

Two weeks of performances as follows: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Nov. 27 & Dec. 4 and Saturdays, Nov. 28 & Dec. 5 and 2 p.m. Sundays, Nov. 29 & Dec. 6.

City Theatre to stream short holiday plays News release SACRAMENTO — City Theatre at Sacramento City College continues the 2020-21 season with an online streaming premiere of 10 new, short, seasonal-themed plays during the Zoom for the Holidays event.

In addition to the plays, new monologues will be presented between each play. The online performance will be a collaboration between the theater and film faculty. The production opens with a live streaming performance on Monday, Nov. 30 and plays through Sunday, Dec. 13. Performances are live at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 30, and Monday, Dec. 7, and edited recorded performances at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.

Performances will be streaming online with ticket

prices being “pay what you can” with a minimum of $1. All details and tickets are available online at CityTheatre.net by calling (916) 558-2228.

The plays The 10 short plays and eight playwrights are “Baking Christmas” by Joy Hall Gee, “Uphill Both Ways” by Jes Gonzales, “Season for Pretending” and “Ghostlight” by David Martin, “Meeting of My Minds” by Stephen Mason, “Porthole Portal” by John Paul Nevans, “10 Minutes” by Michael Pollock, “Death Donuts” and “New Place” by Roberta Ramirez Sanchez and “Haunted Shelter” by Donna Wicken.

Luther Hanson directs these City Theatre productions.

Barton Gala to support local families, healthcare workers Jenna Palacio Barton Health

resource program was created by the foundation to address financial hardship and food insecurities that have been worsened due to the impacts of the coronavirus. Moving into the next wave of the pandemic, donor support of the COVID-19 Response Fund will be critical to continue community relief efforts and provide protective equipment to healthcare workers on the frontline.

Through the COVID-19 Response Fund, the foundation is also supporting Barton Memorial Hospital’s Skilled Nursing Facility.

This long-term care facility’s residents are some of the most vulnerable patients at the hospital, with visitor access being highly restricted to protect them and their care providers.

The 2020 virtual gala will help fund the continuous adaptation of mitigation strategies and deliver needed protective equipment to allow limited visitation for families to safely visit their loved ones.

“If you’ve supported the gala in past years, or this is your first time participating, you don’t need to wear a tuxedo or ball gown this year in order to make a significant difference in our community’s health,” said Chris Kiser, executive director at the Barton Foundation. “Every dollar raised at the Virtual Gala helps vulnerable community members and supports frontline healthcare workers at Barton.”

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The impacts of COVID-19 faced by the South Lake Tahoe community present an increased need for support this holiday season. The Barton Foundation Gala, which funds local health initiatives through Barton Health, will be held online to uphold the spirit of giving at BartonHealth. org/Gala, Nov. 30 through Dec. 11.

Funds raised at this year’s virtual gala will continue the foundation’s efforts to address social determinants of health like food insecurity, in addition to supporting healthcare workers with protective equipment and financial relief. More than 700 local families have already been helped through the foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund, this year’s gala beneficiary.

Participants can make an online donation of any amount at the gala and those contributing $100 or more can opt into a drawing to win one of six luxury prize packages, including a ski trip to any participating Vail resort; an El Dorado County wine tasting experience; an oceanfront getaway at Pismo Beach; or an extravagant winter or summer retreat at Edgewood Tahoe Resort.

All gala donations will go directly to the foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund. This donor-funded

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Happiness may be the best revenge; no one said it was the easiest. Today, you attempt to grab some and it runs off. Let it go. Stick with your path and goals. Happiness will catch up just when the right people are watching.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are the type of friend who comes early to the party and stays late to help clean up a mess you didn’t make. You have friends who would do the same -- if you’d let them. No parties are happening today, but let them help anyway.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It will be liberating to recognize the difference between infatuations, preoccupations and actual love. Love isn’t about the amount of time you spend thinking of someone; rather, it’s the home you make for someone in your heart.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationships are co-created, so no one is completely in control. You can manage your end of things, but that in and of itself may not be enough to get a thing headed where you want it to go. It’s a day for realistic assessment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no reason to judge yourself now. Nor should you subject yourself to the judgment of others. It’s a time to accept your right to create your precious life to whatever extent you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Run your day through your mental projector before you launch into it. As you picture each responsibility you will tend to, you will get ideas as to what would make the experience even better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Attention to detail saves the day. You like to know for certain that your being on the scene made things different. When you doubt your impact, you’ll speak up, touch people, do and change something.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t control other people’s reactions, but you can predict them. Knowing more about your audience helps you predict more accurately. This is why time spent in research and observation is invaluable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your desires make themselves known to you, usually obviously but sometimes subtly. Today is a subtle one in which your wants speak in whispers, nudges and inklings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You prize self-sufficiency, but it may be worthwhile to pay someone to fix the problem of the day. Even so, you’ll try to learn as much as you can from the process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One solution doesn’t work for everyone, but it will probably work for you, especially because you’re so excellent at following instructions.

A step-by-step guide will lead you exactly where you want to go.

Toys for Tots volunteers will also shop on Main Street to ensure all funds and toys raised remain in the community.

Both financial and toy donations are down a third of what the program usually receives by this time of year after only two registration dates because of COVID-19, Walls shared. Volunteers have registered almost half as many families as in the prior year with one more date left for families to register to receive toys — 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 28, at Walmart off Missouri Flat Road.

“Registrants must have all items needed to be registered and that (information) can be found on our Facebook page,” said Walls. “If the families do not register

by Nov. 28 we cannot assist them this year due to COVID. There are no wait lists and no walkins to pick up toys.”

On Dec. 7 Toys for Tots El Dorado County-Placerville will announce on its Facebook page (ID: EDCT4T) the distribution center location where families

“During this time with the county being placed again into the most restrictive tier because of COVID families are feeling the financial pinch with businesses closing again,” said Walls. “Children are losing out on the social interaction they usually have during school and our local businesses are also suffering. Because of that we are dedicated to ensuring our campaign is a success for the children in our community.”

us here. It is great to be once again collaborating with our partners at Dr. Seuss Enterprises on this project.

Through these challenging times, we still wanted to find a way to give families some joy this holiday season in a lighthearted and fun way. After all, 2020 has been a tough year, but it can’t take away our ability to smile and laugh which are oftentimes the first steps of continued hope”.

Complete with a burlap sack full of presents, a Grinch stylized holiday tree and a backlit fireplace with hanging stockings just as depicted in the book, this true-to-form experience will place guests inside the classic tale in one of the most authentic ways possible. Guests will also be given the opportunity to pick a sign with their choice of a favorite 2020 slogan to be placed in their photo with the Grinch.

Sample slogans include, “You’re a

mean one, 2020” “2020: “Stink, Stank, Stunk,” “2020 – How The Grinch Stole, Well, The Whole Year” and some positive ones including “The Grinch still can’t steal Christmas!”

“Dr. Seuss famously wrote ‘Christmas Day will always be, just as long as we have we,’” said Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, LP. “This unique experience was created with that mindset and will give fans the opportunity to wallow a little bit in their grumpiness, but also remember how the holiday spirit can bring out the best in anyone — even a Grinch.”

The Grinch’s Grotto will kick off Nov. 27 across North America. Tickets for each engagement are limited and it is recommended guests pre-book their visits online prior to visiting. For more information and to pre-register visit grinchgrotto.com.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the trustee: CA-20-885203-NJ. 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. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside
