News release The Taxpayers Association of El Dorado County and Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce will present a community forum on homeless shelter options at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2. The nonpartisan forum will take place at the Food Bank of El Dorado County, 4550 Business Drive in Shingle Springs. The forum will provide an opportunity for county officials to provide information about the programs under consideration and answer questions from the public. Speakers will include Sheriff John D’Agostini and Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton. Assemblymember Kevin Kiley will provide his perspective on homeless issues at the state level. Other elected and appointed officials have also been invited. The forum will be moderated by Taxpayers Association President Andy Nevis. El Dorado County has seen an increase in homelessness over the past several years, with impacts to businesses, residents and public safety. A federal court decision prevents cities and counties from enforcing anti-camping rules on public property unless a shelter is available, raising the urgency for the county to develop a shelter. The state of California has made funding available through the Project Roomkey and Project Homekey programs. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors recently discussed a proposal from D’Agostini and community members to develop a managed campground, dubbed HOSTESS. However, county residents near potential and rumored shelter locations have expressed concerns about impacts to their communities. For more information on Thursday’s forum contact Nevis at (916) 837-1385 or the Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce at (530) 677-8000.

Hangtown Creek claims more footing as pavement in the parking lot near the Main Street Tap House in downtown Placerville gave way the weekend of Nov. 13. Doug Veerkamp Engineering crews pulled the failed pavement out of the creek and back to where it is still supported and will do restoration work on the cityowned property. Months ago signs of the asphalt beginning to collapse prompted fencing off the area.

New fire engines ready to roll in El Dorado Hills Noel Stack Managing editor The El Dorado Hills Fire Department held “pushing” ceremonies for two new fire engines Nov. 15 and Nov. 17. Stations 84 and Station 86 welcomed the 2020 Pierce Enforcer Type I wildland urban interface engines, which cost approximately $755,000 each and took about 14 months to build. “These new engines will be put to great use here in El Dorado Hills because of the high angle of approach and departure that will assist with traveling up and down steep driveways and unimproved roads,” said EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson. “The increased horsepower and special tuned gearing will greatly increase performance in the steep terrain. Finally, both engines have the latest in safety technology, including passenger airbags, independent suspension and a collision avoidance system that can alert motorist of the approaching fire engine.” The brand-new Engine 84 and Engine 86 will serve the community for about 15 years on the front line and then go into back-up status.

El Dorado County updates ADU ordinance Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County’s zoning ordinance will receive an update relating to accessory dwelling units to comply with state law changes that aim to give California’s housing supply a boost. An ADU is a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a single-family home. They can be attached, detached or contained within an existing building and are allowed either as new construction or conversion of existing permitted spaces such as a garage, workshop, barn or pool house, among

others. ADUs are more commonly called granny flats, multigenerational units, in-law suites or backyard cottages. Housing, Community and Economic Development analyst C.J. Freeland gave a report on new ADU rules in California to the Board of Supervisors Nov. 16, which prohibit local agencies from imposing strict requirements exceeding state mandates and prohibit local agencies charging impact fees for ADUs 750 square feet or smaller. County ADU ordinance revisions include an update to the Meyers Area Plan to allow ADUs in multi-family

residential and mixed-use zones, revisions to maximum square footage for new detached ADU construction per parcel size, revisions to parking requirements and owner-occupancy requirements and the addition of junior ADUs. A junior ADU is no more than 500 square feet contained within an existing or proposed single-family dwelling, including attached garages. For JADUs, a kitchen with appliances, owner occupancy and deed restriction provisions are required. Only one JADU is allowed per lot. Owner-occupancy is not required n

LAKE TAHOE — As an organization focused on getting impactful projects done in the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Tahoe Fund is once again opening up its annual call for projects. The Tahoe Fund has funded more than 60 environmental projects and secured over $50 million in public funding in the past decade. The organization is now seeking new projects that align with its strategic plan to add to its portfolio in 2022. With the ever increasing threat of wildfire in the west, the Tahoe Fund has identified forest health as its number one priority. Specifically, it looks to support projects that will increase the pace and scale of forest restoration. Other focus areas include improving lake clarity, expanding sustainable recreation, innovative solutions to transportation challenges and creating more stewards of Lake Tahoe. “The Tahoe Fund’s goal is to get more environmental improvement projects completed through the generous philanthropy of our supporters,” said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry. “We are excited to learn about new projects that align with our mission and find opportunities to

Studies in the Oregon Cascades after the 90,000-acre B&B Complex Fires that burned in August and September 2003 revealed how snowpack impacts vegetative growth following forest fires.

Study shows snow cover critical for revegetation following forest fires Mike Wolterbeek University of Nevada, Reno RENO, Nev. — With wildfires devastating mountain ecosystems across the western United States, successful forest revegetation recovery hinges on, among other factors, an adequate lasting snowpack, according to research by the University of Nevada, Reno and Oregon State University. “Our study illustrated that summer precipitation, snow cover and elevation were all important drivers of revegetation success,” said Anne Nolin, a hydrologist and geography professor at UNR and formerly at Oregon State University. “In particular, we found that snow cover was a critical explanatory variable for revegetation in the Oregon and Washington Cascades. This could help inform revegetation management practices following severe wildfires.” Climate change has already increased the fraction of winter precipitation that falls as rain rather than snow, reduced the spring snow

water equivalent — a metric for how much water snow contains — and caused snowmelt to begin earlier in the spring than it used to, Nolin explained. Pacific Northwest snowpacks have seen the greatest declines of any seasonal snow region in the West. The research, led by Nolin, examined the 260,000-squaremile Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest. She teamed with co-author Andrew Wilson, a graduate research assistant in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, and co-author Kevin Bladon of OSU’s College of Forestry. The NASA-supported study featured before-and-after vegetation analyses for two dozen high-severity wildfires. The fires occurred over a 10-year period among the four distinct subregions of the Columbia River Basin. There are many short- and long-term effects from these fires, including erosion, debris flows and water quality issues, which can affect the health of aquatic ecosystems n

California Commentary

Can taxpayers be grateful?

s inflation takes a bigger bite out of your turkey than you do, it may be hard to find reasons to be grateful. But the truth is we still had much to be thankful for this season. Here’s a few reasons why. Jon COupal In the Legislature, success is often measured not in how many pro-taxpayer bills are passed but by how many anti-taxpayer bills are stopped. And, in that regard, this past year was better than expected. A bill that would create a California Universal Basic Income and proposed to pay for it either through a value-added tax, raising corporate taxes or implementing a tax on services died in committee. Another bill that would have created a wealth tax failed to receive a hearing before deadline. An attempt to raise the already highest in the nation income tax rate for Californians making over $1 million to as high as 16.8%, was held in its first committee. A bill to create a single-payer healthcare system, and double the state budget in the If the polls are process, was tabled. In all, 11 bills HJTA to be believed, opposed failed to make the midterms are it out of the Legislature. shaping up to be Five bills we supported were signed by the a tremendous win governor. One bill we for fiscal sanity. If opposed was vetoed by the governor. Five we’re lucky, maybe bills we supported some of that failed to get out of the Legislature. Eleven bills sanity will find its we opposed were signed way to California. by the governor and one bill we supported was vetoed by the governor. HJTA went 17 for 34 this legislative session. We batted .500. Not bad for a taxpayer group in California. For that, we should be grateful. The Legislative Analyst’s Office is also forecasting that the state will have a $31 billion budget surplus next year. The state getting $31 billion more of your money than it needs may not sound like a reason to be grateful, but it just goes to show what we already knew — that Californians are taxed enough. That seems as good a reason as any for no new taxes next legislative session. We can be grateful for that. If the polls are to be believed, the midterms are shaping up to be a tremendous win for fiscal sanity. If we’re lucky, maybe some of that sanity will find its way to California. We’re pushing our luck now but if we can at least slow the printing press over at the Federal Reserve, we might be able to get a handle on this inflation. For that, we would be grateful. Proposition 19 tricked voters into repealing Propositions 58 and 193 without realizing the impact it would have on their own families. To restore those constitutional protections for California families, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has filed an initiative with the attorney general’s office. The Repeal the Death Tax Act would reinstate Propositions 58 and 193. Parents would once again n

Letters to the Editor Thanks to those who serve in schools EDITOR: his Thanksgiving season many take time to reflect on what and who they are thankful for. As someone who works within our local school system, I would like to extend thanks and gratitude to those who serve in our local schools. The last three years have been challenging for all members of society, but I can attest that they have been very difficult for schools. I am proud of the fact that our schools were among the first to reopen and have worked hard to educate students and provide a safe place for them to learn and grow. No matter the challenge or curve balls thrown, staff have continued to show up everyday committed to supporting the students they serve. I applaud the resolve of teachers, administrators and support staff who have undergone some of the most challenging circumstances that no doubt no one ever thought they would. And yet they continue forward. Many spend more time with other people’s children than they do with their own families. During a time where everything is inconsistent, they have providing consistency for kids. It is not perfect, but nothing ever is ... the goal is to continue forward and strive toward constant improvement. As the saying goes, “The weather shapes mountains just as problems make leaders.” There is a lot of “weather” right now and yet schools continue to move forward leading to shape students and work to meet their needs. Thank you for your commitment, your resolve and your love for the students you serve. For those reading this, consider taking a moment and sending a letter of thanks to someone you know who works in a school environment. Many are exhausted and discouraged right now and your letter might just be the encouragement they need to continue doing the amazing work that they do. DUSTIN HALEY Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Rescue Union School District

Handbasket

Homeless in Lake Tahoe EDITOR: omelessness is a politically correct wraparound term for drug addiction, mental illness and those who have fallen on hard times. The term is used to procure funding provided by the state to purchase hotels/motels, apartments and industrial buildings to house the “homeless” in your neighborhood. What could

possibly go wrong? See “Seattle is Dying” on Tube. Recently, I understand, the Tahoe Homeless Coalition along with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency co-partnered to purchase three motels in South Lake Tahoe to house their drug-addicted and mentally ill clientele. What could possibly go wrong? Could these folks end up on Camp Richardson Beach and use it for a toilet or a great place to drop their drug paraphernalia, i.e. needles? We already have pictures. Will it be safe to have our children and grandchildren walk across the beach barefooted? What happens when a drugged out user or someone who is just mentally ill falls asleep on the beach and the weather turns cold. Who picks up the cadavers in the morning? Do we experience Donner Party II? Please note the city of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County did not fund or participate in this project but the county is considering purchasing a motel in Pollock Pines and two motels in Cameron Park. Please note addiction needs to be treated most likely in lockdown and meds prescribed such as methadone, Suboxone or Vivitrol to help the addicted overcome. Mental illness needs to be treated, not abandoned on the street. The county just provided $18,000,000 for a new juvenile hall at the old sheriff ’s office and we don’t have a mental health clinic in El Dorado County for those in the middle class. Our patients go to Placer County or Sonoma or god knows where. I asked a mental health worker at a Nov. 8 forum in El Dorado Hills what her department’s definition of success is for someone mentally ill and could she provide records for 2010-19 to show their success. She said they didn’t have either. The county Health and Human Services Director Don Semon says they have 25 years of data. Which is it? STEPHEN FERRY El Dorado Hills

EDITOR: see Mr. Longhofer takes issue with Larry Weitzman saying that the country is basically going to Hell in a hand basket. Well let’s see — illegals and criminal elements are flooding across our open borders. The administration is flying them to red states all over the country.

another ice age soon — maybe in 10 years, a 100 years or 1,000 years. If you study the history of ice ages, they happen rather quickly ... sometimes in decades or less. Here’s how: Earth has a cold winter and ice storms persevere like they did 25 years ago on the East Coast when there was 6 inches of ice on the ground for a month or more. Snows happen as far south as Texas, it snows in Florida and California has a particularly heavy winter. Ice ages had glaciers as far south as Yosemite and Tahoe had a halfmile-thick icecap over the entire lake 10,000 years ago. Most prior ice ages in the Northern Hemisphere extended south to about 38 degrees latitude, which cuts through the middle of the country. The next winter the snows and ice never fully melt and again we get a hard winter. The thick snowpack is now unable to melt and after a few years a building ice sheet covers half the country and continues to grow. In 50 years it’s a dozen yards thick and not melting. Over the next 50,000 to 90,000 years this weather pattern continues and the ice keeps building. In 200 years it is a half-mile thick.

The northern half of the United States is not just uninhabitable, but most structures are destroyed. You won’t need the Central Park ice rink for skating; you will have the 24 square miles of Manhattan. You won’t have to worry about crossing the East or Hudson rivers; they won’t exist. The nation’s capital, if not under a sheet of ice, will have been moved to Houston, if Texans allow it. “Free” junior college and pre-K will be the furthest thing in people’s minds. No one even mentions such absurdity. If you think Arizona, Florida and Southern California are overcrowded now, you ain’t seen nothing. Mexico will be overrun by illegals, but in this case they are Americans seeking refuge. Food supplies will be an issue as well as energy. Maybe the greens will finally relent and allow nuclear power. Yeah, they saved us from global warming. We can easily adapt to anthropogenic global warming if it exists. We have unlimited energy (if allowed) and food will not be an issue as more areas are developed. An ice age? Fuhgeddaboudit. There is no adaption

horoscope by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). You still get a little nervous at showtime, but you’ve worked pretty hard on your skills, and if they don’t meet the task in some way, you can trust that you’ll find the solution as you go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t really try to bring out the best in people; it just happens because of how you see them. You’re expecting people to be good, fun and interesting... and they will not disappoint, at least not while they are around you! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Limbo may be a fun game but it’s not a fun position and is undesirable as a destination. So, a decision must be made. Either way, it’s going to be better than the uncertainty of wondering which way to go. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like an artist who steps back to behold a work in progress from a distance, you begin to see the shape of your life. You’re objective. What you observe with fresh eyes will inspire you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t mind dialing your energy to match that of others, but if you too often have to adapt yourself so as not to outshine anyone, it’s time to consider whether you may thrive in another kind of environment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s hard to get things done when so many compete for your attention, but the good that comes out of it is that you will be inspired to create your own environment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your intuition is a mysterious visitor, often showing up in full force and without warning. Your intuition won’t be commanded or controlled but it can be invited and will come more often when you delight in its presence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You support the best in others and give assistance without creating dependencies. Your sincerity will not be assessed by what you do for people; it’s made apparent by what you don’t do. Boundaries are love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re open to new life events, but you’re not waiting for them. Sign up for an activity or go deeper into an interest. It will give you the sense of coming back to yourself, followed by the realization you’re better than ever. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A relationship will get more comfortable for you because you communicate well. You don’t blame others for your feelings. You share strategically, helpfully and selflessly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Would you rather have $1 now or $2 in a week? Various forms of this question will arise with today’s theme of the short term vs. the long game. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can avoid known stressinducers, steer clear of annoyances and sidestep foreseeable complications, but the more controlled things are, the less alive they will seem. There’s a happy medium to hit here.

Six times the senior had more than 20 digs and she averaged more than 10 per game. Hoppe and Reynolds each had 219 kills this season, which was tied for second on the team. Hoppe had 10-plus kills six times while Reynolds dominated the net having four games with at least five blocks. On the Small Schools South team, Madison Gonzalez, Isabella Parrilla and Jayla Somera will represent El Dorado while Analeis Vos will don her Ponderosa uniform one final time. Cougars head coach Kalani Pananganan will be one of the coaches. El Dorado went 12-7 this season with a 7-3 record in the Sierra Valley Conference. Winning 63% of its games led to a slot in the Division III Sac Joaquin Section playoffs where they lost to Nevada Union. Ponderosa faced a difficult test in the first round of the Division II playoffs after finishing the season with a 14-11 overall record and a 9-3 record in the Foothill Valley League. The Bruins were awarded the No. 12 seed and had to travel to take on the vaunted Del Oro Golden Eagles who were the No. 5 seed. It was a five-set battle the Bruins nearly won in the fourth set before pulling off the upset and winning the fifth set in a 16-14 nailbiter. The Bruins went to the section quarterfinals before being defeated by Vacaville where two of the sets were very close.

through January 2025 for regular ADUs. In the Lake Tahoe Basin development permits will be issued by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel, who acts as the county’s Tahoe Regional Planning Agency liaison, admitted that development rights through the agency are difficult and expensive to acquire. “It’s always been an effort on the planning agencies to restrict development in Tahoe,” Novasel said. “We have a very restrictive processes to go through, processes you wouldn’t go through on the West Slope.” Freeland said the agency has been receptive to the county’s requests to loosen restrictions for ADUs due to state regulations and workforce shortage. Detached ADU setbacks of 4 feet were a major point of concern for District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin, who worried about home-to-home ignitions. “We watched the Camp Fire in Paradise and the home-tohome ignitions,” Parlin said. “We want some distance … this is very concerning. People can’t get insurance and we are in a high-fire severity area.” “I have problems going too restrictive because you get to a point where if you have enough of a setback, it’s not buildable,” Novasel said. Freeman explained that the 4-foot setback is geared toward urban areas but provisions can be made for more relaxed setbacks through

the county Ag Commission. Parlin said she wants to make provisions in the ordinance more clear to prevent confusion. Currently, Board of Forestry regulations allow a 30-foot setback for ADUs in higher fire risk areas. During public comment El Dorado County Association of Realtors Government Affairs Director Kimberly Beal suggested the county hold a workshop with the association on ADU regulations not currently in the county ordinance or having a FAQ page put on the county’s website. Beal also recommended increasing the ADU size potential for parcels 4 1/2 acres in size or larger. “We are experiencing a demand for two homes on one parcel where the buyers are siblings or just friends,” Beal said. “It is no longer the traditional parents and child going back from one home to another.” The board approved to update the ADU ordinance 4-1, with Parlin as the holdout vote. New state law also prohibits: •Requirements of minimum lot size •Allowing more than 60 days to approve an ADU plan or JADU plan permit application if there is an existing single-family or multi-family dwelling on the lot •A maximum ADU size that does not allow an ADU of at least 800 square feet and 16 feet in height •HOAs prohibiting or unreasonably restricting construction of ADUs on single-family residential lots •Requirements for owneroccupancy of either the primary dwelling or the ADU

and downstream community water supply, highlighting the importance of understanding post-fire forest rehabilitation. In their paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research — Biogeosciences, “Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Post-Wildfire Revegetation Across the Pacific Northwest,” the findings show that given the trends of increasing wildfire activity, lower snowpacks, and earlier snow disappearance dates across the Pacific Northwest, forests will likely experience more frequent drought conditions, which will negatively impact the success of post‐wildfire vegetation recovery with a number of impacts to the ecosystem. “This knowledge may be used to facilitate adaptive post-fire management policies and decisions to ensure long-term forest health,” Nolin, who is also director of UNR’s Graduate Program of Hydrological Sciences, said. “For example, depending on the sub-region and species composition, reseeding efforts following low snow winters might employ more drought tolerant species or, replanting could be delayed one to two years until snowmelt and soil moisture conditions are more favorable for seedling propagation. “However, climate change projections and shifting wildfire regimes have increased concerns about post-fire regeneration and,

as such, it is imperative that we broaden our understanding of the role of snowpacks in post-wildfire forest regeneration,” Nolin added. “The snowpacks’ role in aiding revegetation will become increasingly important across the West. And where snowpacks have declined, there likely will be ecosystem transitions that look like a shift from forest to non-forest and from evergreen to deciduous vegetation.” Wildfires continue to burn more area each year across many regions of the planet, including the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest’s largest watershed, the Columbia River Basin contains a variety of fire-prone landscapes that have seen almost 900 fires since 2010, serves as critical habitat for more than 700 species and is a water source for seven states. “As wildfire activity continues to increase and intensify in the Northwest, understanding what shapes revegetation on severely burned forested landscapes is vital for guiding management decisions,” co-author Bladon said. After the occurrence of a wildfire, revegetation over the burned area is critical to maintain or re-establish ecosystem functions from forests such as biodiversity, erosion control, water purification and habitat provision. “Snow matters to regrowing vegetation following fire, and with double impacts of declining

snowpacks and increasing wildfires it is critical that we understand how these changes are affecting Pacific Northwest forests,” Nolin said. “Positive relationships between snow cover and summer precipitation with post-fire greening suggest that active post-fire revegetation efforts will help facilitate recovery, especially during years when severe wildfires are followed by early snowmelt years or below average summer precipitation.” In the study, summer precipitation consistently appeared as the most important variable driving postfire revegetation across all four subregions. Snow cover frequency, along with elevation, were shown to be secondary but significantly influential explanatory variables for revegetation in the Oregon and Washington Cascades. More than 80% of wildfires in the western United States from 2000 to 2012 burned within a seasonal snow zone, a time period that overlaps with the years studied by the scientists. “As wildfire activity continues to increase and intensify in the Northwest, understanding what shapes revegetation on severely burned forested landscapes is vital for guiding management decisions,” Bladon said. “But variables such as snow cover frequency, pre-fire forest composition, and elevation, were also shown to be significantly influential for revegetation in the Oregon and Washington Cascades.”

Premier Business Directory

Wildfire season length in the western U.S. overall has increased by roughly 25 days in recent decades, including a massive increase in the Northwest from the mid-1970s, when it was 23 days, to 116 days in the early 2000s. That’s attributable mainly to warmer temperatures and drier conditions in the spring and summer. “Snow cover has a strong influence on postfire vegetation greening, but the influence varied depending on subregion and dominant prefire conifer species, with the biggest impacts at low to moderate elevations in the Washington Cascades, the Oregon Cascades and western Montana Rockies,” Nolin said. “And with current climate change projections, snowpacks’ role in aiding revegetation will become increasingly important across the West.” Bladon suggests fire can be looked at as an opportunity for forests to reassemble into ecosystems better suited to survive warmer winters, longer fire seasons and more drought stress. “That’s at the heart of the challenge of reconciling a changing climate’s ecological forces with postfire forest management goals — the goals are often oriented toward re-establishing forests as they existed before the fire,” Bladon said. “But with shifting climate trends in the region, that might not be the most adaptive path forward for forested landscapes.”

More than 200 families received holiday meals at last year’s Divide Christmas Food Basket giveaway.

Divide Christmas Food Basket volunteers will host a turkey drive on the first two Saturdays, Dec. 4 & 11, in front of Mar-Val. Volunteers will accept turkeys, Mar-Val Turkey Bucks and cash from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the grocery store, 6049 Front St. in Georgetown. These donations will support the Divide Christmas Food Basket program on Dec. 17. This year the Divide Christmas Food Basket’s goal is to collect 100 turkeys. Last year 65 turkeys were collected and additional products were purchased from Mar-Val that allowed the Divide Christmas Food Basket to provide turkeys and hams for 214 families living on the Georgetown Divide. Consider donating unused Turkey Bucks to the effort. For those who have not registered to receive a Christmas Food Basket at one of the eight member churches, Georgetown Library, Divide Wellness Center or at the Cool Community Church office, the Divide Christmas Food Basket will prepare a registration package for families.

Education resource available for Native American Heritage Month News release SACRAMENTO — In recognition of Native American Heritage Month, the California State Archives announced the launch of Identity and Stereotypes: Why Do Representations Matter? — an educational resource aimed at educating California’s youth on a critical issue facing Native Peoples. The curriculum for this resource was developed in partnership with the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center. “We are honored to work with the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center on this vital effort to educate our state’s youth,” said California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., a longtime advocate for ethnic studies. “We know the best education includes diverse perspectives and experiences. I am confident that this curriculum will provide students from every background a fuller understanding of the experience of Native Americans in California history beyond Native American Heritage Month.”

Readings and activities in Identity and Stereotypes: Why Do Representations Matter? invite high school students to learn and critically think about the problematic representations of Native Peoples in past and present mass media, listen to contemporary Native perspectives and provide opportunities to consider solutions moving forward. “We are excited to partner with the California State Archives to develop historically accurate resources that represent California tribal perspectives” said California Indian Museum and Cultural Center Executive Director Nicole Lim (Pomo). “We are looking forward to continued collaboration in the development of educational tools that bring greater awareness and understanding to all Californians on topics related to settler colonialism, stereotypes, erasure, assimilation and other issues that continue to impact California native people.” Identity and Stereotypes: Why do Representations Matter? is available on the California State Archives website: sos.ca.gov/ archives/educational-resources.

CORNELIA JANE BRENEHOFT DUNNAGAN A PETITION for Probate has been filed by ROBERT W. HERBERT, SR. in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that ROBERT W. HERBERT, SR. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
