A hold on hemp farms extended Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Another extension of a moratorium on the cultivation of industrial hemp in El Dorado County will last 12 months, preventing registration for hemp growers. Recommendations for the extension came from county Agricultural Commissioner Charlene Carveth at the Dec. 7 Board of Supervisors meeting, explaining that issues with regulation and planning for a pilot program prompted the recommendation. The challenges stem from the federal government consistently changing hemp regulations, making the process confusing on a local level, according to Carveth. “A 30-day harvest situation between sampling and harvesting changed to 15 days and even less than that. Then it changed back to 30 days and the state had to catch up on that,” Carveth said, providing an example of federal regulation changes. “I know my colleagues from other counties were going kind of nuts over this, trying to figure out where the regulation was at and what they needed to do.” Carveth also reported the state’s plan for regulation of industrial hemp was denied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and sent back for revisions. El Dorado County’s urgency ordinance for the moratorium extension states that the cultivation of industrial hemp without the adoption of “reasonable regulations” could conflict with county cannabis regulations, interfere with land use regulation, threaten existing agriculture and threaten county n

istrict Ice is back this holiday season, giving those talented (and brave) enough to step on the ice a great skating experience. The ice skating rink is open seven days a week (excluding Christmas Day) through Saturday, Jan. 8. Those ready to hit the ice at District Church, 7000 Rossmore Lane in Dorado Hills,
are encouraged to book their skating slot online at districtice. com as time slots do sell out. The rink is typically open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. but it’s best to check the website before heading out the door. The church also offers the Airstream Party Patio. Those who book the space will enjoy two hours in their own reserved area right next to the beer/wine
garden; 10 skate tickets are included. Guests have access to a furnished Airstream with indoor seating. There’s also outdoor seating and a fire pit. Airstream partiers are welcome to bring goodies but all outside alcohol is strictly prohibited. Food and drinks are available on site. The rink will host a New Year’s Eve celebration.

to support winter lodging News release Housing El Dorado will again offer the Pathways Winter Lodging Program. PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
Over the past months Housing El Dorado has met several times with the faith community and other interested partners on the Western Slope to develop a winter lodging program for unhoused residents of the community. Organizers plan to house approximately 15-20 people Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at three churches starting Jan. 1, 2022. More sites will be added as they become available. El Dorado County is only one of four counties in the state of California without a shelter and navigation center. The program will be headed up by Charlie McDonald, who brings years of experience serving the homeless of the Western Slope and enthusiasm for his new venture.
“While we would always like to see more nights covered, we are excited to be able to offer this much-needed service to the un-housed this winter,” McDonald said. Housing El Dorado, in partnership with the Upper Room, provides day navigation and shower services. Those seeking shelter can access shelter sign-up and services at the Upper Room or by appointment with Julia Hackett. Navigation services include assistance with obtaining identity documents, clothing, food, employment, social security/disability benefits, unemployment, healthcare to address chronic and acute conditions, health insurance, housing, n

Stanley “Stan” Lawrence Niebauer
March 15, 1939 – Nov. 28, 2021
Stanley “Stan” Lawrence Niebauer passed away peacefully Nov. 28 at his home in Diamond Springs with his family by his side. Stan was born March 15, 1939 in Fort Bragg, Calif., to the late Fred Niebauer and Ada Veerkamp Niebauer. When Stan was 18 months the family moved back to the family home in Placerville. Stan enjoyed growing up in Placerville and spending idyllic weekends on the Veerkamp Ranch in Gold Hill with his brother and cousins. On Feb. 21, 1970 Stan married the love of his life Pam Van Buren Reynolds. They immediately had a “Brady Bunch” style of family to include his three children, Pam’s son and later their daughter. Stan worked in El Dorado County in home remodel, first doing floor covering and then opening his own business, Counter Corner doing kitchen and bath remodel. He did that for 30 years. Upon closing the business he then went to work for Home Depot. Camping and hunting in Faith Valley was a favorite pass time but Stan dearly loved riding his motorcycle on the weekends. On any given weekend you could find them “two up” on the motorcycle, heading out for a day of adventure. Stan is survived by his loving wife Pam and his children; Mark, Jennifer (Mark), Marty (Connie) and Victoria and Pam’s son Todd (Becky); grandchildren Jason, Leslie, Kristen, Ava, Libby, Asher, Julia and Matthew; six great-grandchildren; brother Nathan (Jan) and two nieces and three great-nieces. A celebration of his life will be held Jan. 8, 2022 at the American Legion Hall on Greenstone Road from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. Stan was dearly loved by his family and his presence in their lives will be greatly missed.
Janis Carolyn Cleland Jan. 18, 1942 – Dec. 3, 2021
Janis “Patsy” Carolyn Cleland (Yates), age 79 passed away on Dec. 3. Janis was born in Waldron, Ark. to Charles and Bernadyne Yates and moved to El Dorado County as a young child. Janis attended grammar school at the one-roomed Pleasant Valley school before graduating from El Dorado High School in 1959. Janis worked at several Placerville small businesses including Fosters Freeze, Placerville Fruit Shed and Patterson Motors before eventually working from 1973-99 as an accountant in the El Dorado County Auditor Controllers office. Janis married Raymond Cleland in 1960 and they had two boys Russell “Russ” and Robert “Bob” Both boys graduated from El Dorado High School and established roots in Placerville with families of their own. There was never a dull moment during the boy’s childhood as they spent countless hours in the woods, hunting, fishing and exploring. In 2006 Janis married Connie Bozarth and divorced in 2013. They were together for 14 years total and spent many great years always being anchors for their friends and families. Janis could always be found supporting her kids and grandkids as they pursued their passions in sports and education, and other activities. Her favorite places were in the stands watching ballgames and events. When Janis had the opportunity, she loved to travel to new places and enjoyed people watching. Her close friends and family will always remember precious time spent filling her in with all the latest secrets and gossip. She was always a great listener and someone that you could share anything with. Janis had a heart for others and cherished her time volunteering at Green Valley Church and at the Hangtown Haven. Janis was preceded in death by her parents, brother Charles Yates Jr, and survived by her brothers Robert “Jerry” (wife Loraine), Gordon “Joc” (wife Helen) and Aunt Ellen “Queenie” (husband Dick). Janis is also survived by her two sons Russ (wife Michelle) and Bob (wife Keely); six grandchildren Clint (wife Tricia), Kristen (husband Matt), Brandi, Tanya (husband Erik), Justin (wife Kerri), Tiffany and 14 great-grandchildren. Janis’ family extends an invitation to all who would like to celebrate her life on Feb. 3, 2022, at Green Valley Community Church starting at 1 p.m.

substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling and more. Housing El Dorado is seeing results. Eric entered the Pathways Winter Lodging Program in December 2020. The Pathways team said he had a strong desire to change the trajectory of his life and that he was willing to do the work to make the necessary changes. Eric found a job and after showing his employers what he is made of, he was promoted and now travels to other locations for the company. He has found a place to live, which he has furnished with a little help from friends — Housing El Dorado and Re/Max Realty. Housing El Dorado officials attribute Eric’s success to what can happen when the unhoused are offered stability in a safe environment that allows them to take the necessary steps toward independence with support and guidance. Housing El Dorado and the faith community are asking for the community’s help to raise approximately $80,000 for Pathways 2022
programming. Housing El Dorado is a nonprofit organization under the guidance and fiduciary management of the El Dorado Community Foundation. To donate online go to tinyurl.com/HEDDonate.

Give them an inch, they take a mile — and tax it
D
riving is about to get more expensive —
again. Senate Bill 339, recently signed into law, authorizes the California Road Charge Technical Advisory Committee to strategize a pilot program, which Brian Dahle will eventually charge California drivers a tax for every mile driven. This legislation will make it remarkably more expensive for our rural communities; Californians’ pocketbooks can’t seem to catch a break. In the past year consumer prices in the western United States increased 5.3%. The cost of food has risen 4.7% and energy prices jumped 25.1%, largely the result of an increase in the price of gasoline. It all adds up and it’s hard to believe the current gas taxes will really go away once this new per-mile tax is applied. While the purpose of SB 339 is to replace the gas tax revenue as more drivers move to zeroemission vehicles, this bill takes the wrong approach by going after those who drive long distances to work, school or the grocery store. It’s a regressive tax that will hit low- and middle-income households the hardest, who can least afford an additional expense. Many residents who can’t afford to live in California’s dense urban centers end up compromising with long commutes to and from work. The average transaction price of an electric vehicle, according to Kelley Blue Book is $51,532, and the day-to-day realities of ZEVs are unworkable for some given the unreliable electrical grid. California’s 1st Senate District is a striking mosaic of suburbia, rural living and family ranches. When I think of Siskiyou County, home to the majestic Mt. Shasta, I see residents who enjoy the beautiful mountains, towering pines, snowfall and seasonal outdoor recreation. They shouldn’t be punished for choosing to live in a rural area. I opposed SB 339 and will continue to object to this inequitable tax as it moves closer to implementation. Instead of more taxes, lawmakers should be doing all they can to make California affordable. These issues need to be addressed by the California Road Charge Technical Advisory Committee to ensure rural Californians don’t get the short-end of this regressive tax. Sen. Brian Dahle represents California’s 1st Senate District, which contains all or portions of Alpine, El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra and Siskiyou counties.
Letters to the Editor Our governor EDITOR: n this day, I reflected on the condition of the state of California. I’m disturbed inflation is out of control and gas prices, groceries, housing and homelessness are uncontrolled. Yet this governor is attending weddings of the elite, (the Gettys), elite dinners at the French Laundry, hawking his children’s book and ignoring the refusal of FEMA to assist the victims of the Caldor Fire. The state suffers mass robberies at the hands of juvenile thugs. The streets of the blue state are unsafe, yet this governor pushes his own agenda. His elite “partner” has elected to keep her and his children safe in private schools while public schools suffer mass uprisings and shootings. The recall failed because of the elite and their lies. It amazes me so many people can be oblivious to the direction we are headed. If we think this is just a bump in the road, think again. There are people who “will not” work because unemployment is so available. Unemployment fraud is rampant and at the moment $20 billion in the red and rising. Yet this governor continues to say other states surpass California’s crime rate. I am so disappointed in our leadership, or lack thereof, that leaving the state would be preferable but at our age it’s not an option. WELZA PANNELL Somerset

Lowering the drinking age
Thank you, Phil Berry EDITOR: hank you, Phil Berry, for your information about the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office website on early treatment for COVID-19. I clicked on Opinions, then to No. 21-017. I’ve known Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are safe and effective in fighting COVID. But I didn’t know that the World Health Organization and Food and Drug Administration recognized Ivermectin as one of the essential medicines.
T
Further recognizing the importance of the drug, in 2015 its discoverers won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work uncovering it and bringing it to market. For 50 years doctors have been using Ivermectin. People, listen up. To treat rosacea, a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests in reddening of the face, the FDA has approved Ivermectin for that purpose and also against an increasing number of RNA viruses including influenza, Zika, HIV and Dengue. Ivermectin has also showed itself to be safe. Open your eyes and read for yourself — it’s safe. Side effects are minor; 3.7 billion doses of Ivermectin have been administered to humans worldwide since 1980. There’s so much more in the Nebraska report. Wait tell you read about Remdesivir. It was released in 2020 yet, in a short period of time, 7,491 adverse drug reactions produced 560 deaths, 550 serious cardiac disorders and 475 acute kidney injuries — thanks a lot FDA. Since that safety profile is sufficient to retain FDA approval, Remdesivir’s safety record cannot reasonably be questioned. Now I am going to read about Hydroxychloroquine and maybe another letter to follow. All this is from the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office (backed by data). Thank you, again, Phil Berry. I’m sharing this with family and friends. God bless. DAWN IRISH El Dorado Hills
EDITOR: owering the drinking age from 21 to 18 would be beneficial to the health of young adults. Within the past five years, much research has been done to prove this. Studies have shown that in countries with a high drinking age, like the United States, young adults are at higher risks of alcoholism, sexual assault and over drinking. In Europe, they have much lower levels of drunk accidents, alcoholism and over drinking.

Moreover, residents of Grizzly Flat — the town completely wiped out by the fire — are disproportionately low-income, elderly and socioeconomically vulnerable. Their homes and their belongings were all they had ... and now they have nothing. Even those who did not lose their businesses to the fire lost many months of income as evacuations shut everything down. The regional economy will continue to suffer if survivors are not able to rebuild. Critical infrastructure has been either damaged or completely destroyed, including schools, fire stations and the Grizzly Flat Post Office. While local officials, residents and organizations are doing everything they can to provide support to one another and rebuild, they will not be able to recover without the federal assistance that they desperately need
and deserve. Last year FEMA denied the request for individual assistance for the Creek Fire in Fresno and Madera counties. When I appealed to President Trump to correct this injustice, he immediately reversed FEMA’s decision and granted individual assistance to these homeowners. President Biden made a solemn promise to the victims of the Caldor Fire to help them to rebuild. He personally saw the damage and heartbreak caused by the fire. He has the authority to reverse FEMA’s denial and fulfill his promise. I have now written three letters to him drawing this to his attention and making this request. So far, I have not even received the courtesy of a response. “We’re going to take care of them (and) there’s a lot that we can do.” Those were the president’s words

Continued from A1
They had moved to the Inland Empire but discovered it wasn’t far enough from the city, John said. “We thought, ‘there’s gotta be a better place to live.’” After touring Northern California they discovered Placerville. John and Pam immediately packed up their dog, Oly, and made the move. John went to work as the deputy public defender while Pam began teaching in the Camino Union School District. Pam spent her career teaching, primarily the third grade, first in Camino then with the Mother Lode Union School District. “I’d come from the district attorney’s office in San Bernardino,” John said. “That was a little bit of a change. It gave me a broader perspective on the criminal justice system, though.” After a year with the public defender, he moved back to the other side of criminal justice going to work as an El Dorado County assistant district attorney. In 1974 he was offered a position in private practice and remained in the private sector until 2000. Roughly 15 years after going into private practice he started working with the city of Placerville as a contracted lawyer, fulfilling the duties of the city attorney. The city had been through four different city managers in the ’90s, according to John. “When the last one left in February of 2000, the council wanted to settle things down,” he said. The City Council asked John and the finance manager at the time, Dan Bowman, to take over the responsibilities of the city manager. The two shared duties for nearly a year. In November 2000 the council asked John if he would be interested in serving full time. “I said I would be interested but I would want to retain the city attorney duties as well,” he recalled. The council agreed and John held both positions from 2000 through December 2010, when Cleve Morris came on board. The Mountain Democrat reported his first retirement in 2010. A year prior John had alerted City Council he was ready to retire from city manager duties. Morris was hired in October 2010 and worked closely with John to transition into the position. Morris was officially minted in January 2011 and John stayed on as city attorney. In his time as city manager and city attorney John can point to several things for which he is proud. The aquatics center, the new City Hall, wastewater treatment plant and the city’s website are among the projects he helped accomplish in those 10 years. John said he also arranged redeye trips with council members to Washington, D.C., to lobby for Placerville’s interests and solicit funding. “We were able to secure, over a period of four years, approximately $4 million to $5 million for city projects,” he said. “That was something I was very proud of.” On Oct 12 City Council honored John for his years of service. Mayor Dennis Thomas expressed his gratitude for his dedication to Placerville. “I cannot express the appreciation I
have,” he said. John Driscoll was the inaugural recipient of the Mayor’s Cup, an honor that Thomas has implemented to bestow on those who make a positive impact on the community. Councilmember Michael Saragosa thanked John for always doing what is best for the city. “You always gave the right answer for what’s best for the city.” Councilmember Jackie Neau expressed her appreciation for John’s encouraging her to participate in city affairs when he was city manager. Vice Mayor Kara Taylor thanked John for always being there when she called with questions in her first years in office. “You didn’t always give me the answer that I wanted to hear,” she said. “I appreciated hearing it like it was from someone I trusted and had the needs of the city at heart.” Morris gave thanks for insight and friendship “I still remember the very first time I met John. It was still during the recruitment process and I felt really good about the city after that,” he said. “Most of all, I’ve gained a friend over the last 10 years and I value that the most.” Morris presented him with a gift from the city — an engraved countermount wine opener. John offered a few words before public comment, admitting that he had nothing prepared. “The last 32 years have been a labor of love,” he said. “I fell in love with this city in 1970 on a visit. “It has been an honor and pleasure to serve this city and its citizens,” he continued. Alluding to the years when he pulled double duty, John quipped, “There was one city manager though, I won’t name him, who was exceptionally difficult, wouldn’t follow my advice, wouldn’t listen to me. He was here from 2000 to 2010 and it was all I could do to get rid of him.” District 3 Supervisor and former Councilmember Wendy Thomas addressed John directly from the podium. “You cared about our city and that is a gift that needs to be recognized and valued,” she said. “Know that you leave a deep legacy and your love for this community will continue to be felt.” Former Councilmember Mark Acuna spoke to John’s love of the law and the written word. “This man is really alive when he is interpreting the law in all its intricacies,” he said. “To have that in a city manager was an amazing thing.” John doesn’t have big plans for retirement. He said he will take it easy, spend time at home and perhaps indulge in a hobby or two. Wife Pam beat him to retirement by about 10 years in 2010 when John first feigned retirement from the city of Placerville. John concluded his farewell speech to the City Council with, “The employees of this city are some of the most dedicated, wonderful people I have ever met. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me. I loved it and I love this city.” Mona Ebrahimi of the law firm Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard is now serving as Placerville’s city attorney.

residents’ welfare. Another issue the ordinance addresses is distinguishing hemp and cannabis, which are similar, but hemp has significantly lower THC levels compared to cannabis. Law enforcement would have a difficult time distinguishing between the two without samples for testing, which would hamper civil and criminal enforcement of the county’s current cannabis regulations, the ordinance states. “A grower might be incentivized by the similarity between the plants and the comparatively liberal hemp laws to cultivate cannabis disguised has industrial hemp instead of obtaining a commercial cannabis annual operating permit and a commercial cannabis use permit from the Planning and Building Department,” states the draft ordinance The Agriculture Department staff also requested to implement a permanent ban on industrial hemp. Deputy county counsel Daniel Vandekoolwyk confirmed that if no action is taken, whether to ban or implement a pilot program before the county’s two year moratorium limit is up, the county will have to follow state law on authorizing the growth of industrial hemp. County Agriculture Commission Vice Chair Dave Bolster said at the meeting he was disappointed with the permanent ban recommendation but agreed the county needs to come up with a plan to effectively implement an industrial hemp program. Bolster also stated that industrial hemp could help an already uncertain agriculture industry. Some who commented on the proposed recommendations agreed with a temporary ban on cultivation, except for Sheriff John D’Agostini, who said the pilot program was a failure and created an over 100-page PowerPoint on all hemp-related crimes in the country. He called for the permanent ban on industrial hemp. Shingle Springs resident Lee Tannenbaum, who has applied for a cannabis growing permit, commented that of all those crimes presented, only three occurred in California in 2021, adding that there are about 21,500 licensed hemp farms in the country overall.

“While the EDSO would have you believe hemp is a crime-producing crop, there were less than .01% crimes committed at licensed hemp farms in the U.S. Compare this to robberies of other businesses, 64,000 in California alone. Add to this, the crime rate around drugs in California has gone down in the last 10 years, not up (State Attorney General Report),” Tannenbaum wrote in a comment to the board, citing statistics from a report by the state attorney general. Tannenbaum said he supports the temporary moratorium. El Dorado County Growers Alliance Executive Director Rod Miller stated in his written comment that it is difficult for the agricultural community to earn a living and that hemp may provide new revenue for businesses. “The risks associated with hemp growing have been overblown by the sheriff ’s department,” Miller wrote. “This county has jewelry stores and gun shops. The No. 1 items valued by criminals are guns. We don’t see the sheriff ’s department trying to limit gun sales.” Tannenbaum also dispelled that drug cartels would want to steal hemp. “It has very little value and is too hard to transport,” Tannenbaum noted. “It could take days to weeks to ‘steal’ a large hemp farm and even if they did, the net from this crime would be in the small thousands of dollars.” The initial moratorium, OK’d by the Board of Supervisors Dec. 15, 2020, was applied via county ordinance so the county could examine regulations regarding industrial hemp growth. Extending to nearly a year, the moratorium was brought back for discussion at the Dec. 7 board meeting. The board approved the moratorium extension unanimously and voted 3-2 on a second motion to direct staff and the committee on industrial hemp “to continue to explore if all concerns regarding law enforcement, safety issues impact to neighbors, county cost to regulate and internal county staffing capacity can be addressed in an ordinance.” If it is determined an ordinance is possible, it will be presented to supervisors by the end of 2022.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). You enjoy who you are, and this makes it possible for you to get much more pleasure out of every experience. Even daily errands and simple tasks will give you a peaceful, easy feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being an adult will have a lot to do with sticking to what’s constructive. This may involve seeing, and acting like you don’t see, or listening to it all and focusing only on the part that is actionable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have three eyes. Two for looking and one for seeing. The third eye does have certain known blinders. For instance, smoldering passion is a smoky irritant to say the least! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Knowing a lot about a person isn’t the same thing as knowing a person. You’ll get a chance to understand who a person really is, which will be very different from what can be assumed from a social media profile or resume. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Among the scariest words uttered between friends is the inquisitive trifecta, “Can we talk?” Today it’s better not to. Everyone’s actions are saying enough. Read those, and save the conversation for more puzzling fare. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re feeling reserved and there’s a benefit to holding back.

Have fun getting to know a heightened version of your personality. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t worry about saying the right thing. The words are not what move social discourse along. Hold the space, be interested, and you’ve won. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Impulsive people need someone thoughtful next to them to temper their flaring energy. You’re the stabilizer who will anticipate the other person’s move and encourage all to take a pause before rushing into the wrong thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

AN FRANCISCO — The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco announce the exclusive West Coast presentation of Jules Tavernier and the Elem Pomo. The exhibition steps into the 1870-1880s, a period when white settlers continued to claim and mine lands in California and the West that had been inhabited by Indigenous populations for thousands of years. During this time, landscape painter Jules Tavernier journeyed across the United States, portraying the ceremonies and gatherings he witnessed in the Indigenous homelands and the awe-inspiring beauty of the contested landscapes. Through his compositions and the accounts of Native art historians and cultural practitioners, the exhibition broadens perspectives on the West and highlights the resilience of Indigenous populations. “Jules Tavernier and the Elem Pomo is a timely exhibition that brings alternative perspectives to narratives that have dominated the interpretation of American history and art from this period,” said Thomas P. Campbell, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “With insights added from the Elem Pomo community, Tavernier’s ‘Dance in a Subterranean Roundhouse at Clear Lake, California’ reveals a more complex story of a moment in time, bringing to light the impact that western expansion had on the Elem Pomo community in Northern California and highlighting the

Jules Tavernier and the Elem Pomo Rediscovered masterwork reveals a remarkable story about California history and Indigenous communities resilience and significant heritage of this community.” Jules Tavernier and the Elem Pomo has special resonance for Robert Geary, Elem Pomo tribal citizen and ceremonial roundhouse leader, who said, “Through this exhibition I hope to educate the world about the beauty of my people and my village. The Elem Xe-xwan (ceremonial roundhouse) still exists today with the ceremonies and the Elemfo (Elem people) whom Tavernier painted in 1878.” Alongside Tavernier’s recently rediscovered masterpiece “Dance in a Subterranean Roundhouse at Clear Lake, California” (1878), more than 70 works
will be presented, including paintings, prints, watercolors and photographs by Tavernier, as well as representations of Pomo peoples by his contemporaries. An extraordinary display of more than 40 pieces of Pomo basketry and regalia, along with a documentary film highlighting the Native context of Tavernier’s canvas, will celebrate the enduring culture and artistry of Pomo peoples. The exhibition is copresented with Elem Pomo cultural leader and regalia maker Geary; Dry Creek Pomo scholar Sherrie Smith-Ferri, PhD; and Eastern n

nternationally beloved guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro will celebrate the release of his trailblazing new album, “Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town,” with a live Tommy Castro & The Painkillers performance at The Sofia in Sacramento on Friday, Dec. 17. Tommy Castro & The Painkillers — bassist Randy McDonald, drummer Bowen Brown and keyboardist Michael Emerson — are touring coast to coast. Throughout his long, constantly evolving career, guitarist, singer and songwriter Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring, growing and creating new music, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll, each of his 16 albums is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation —

a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.” “Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town” is a roots music odyssey. This special project was composed by Castro along with Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Tom Hambridge. Through its 13 songs, the album tells the tale of a young man, working on his family farm, who gets bitten by the blues bug. He masters the guitar and heads out on the road seeking fame and fortune, only to find what he’s left behind is the treasure he’s been looking for. “‘A Bluesman Came To Town’ isn’t a story about me,” said Castro. “It’s pulled from some of my friends’ and my experiences, though.

Pomo artist and curator Meyo Marrufo with additional contributions from Arthur Amiotte, Oglala Lakota artist and historian; and Healoha Johnston, curator of Asian Pacific American women’s cultural history at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.
About the artist Born and trained in France, Tavernier arrived in New York in 1871 and shortly thereafter was commissioned to travel across the U.S. to make a pictorial record of the West. Tavernier and a companion captured scenes from the Indigenous lands currently referred to as Nebraska, Wyoming, California and the Hawaiian Islands. Here they encountered Native Americans and Native Hawaiians at key moments in their struggles to maintain Indigenous sovereignty over the land and resist settler encroachment. Having settled in San Francisco in the 1870s, Tavernier became one of the city’s leading painters. Over a period of two years, the artist visited the Elem Pomo Indian village, about 100 miles from the city, on several occasions in preparation to create his masterwork “Dance in a Subterranean Roundhouse at Clear Lake, California” (1878) — the centerpiece of this exhibition. Capturing a historical moment, Tavernier’s painting chronicles an exceptional cultural interaction between California Indians in their homelands and outsiders — settlers and business investors — on Nov. 22, 1875. In the dramatic scene, Tavernier depicts a ceremonial dance of the Elem Pomo known as mfom Xe, or “people dance.” Taking place in an underground roundhouse, Xe-xwan, the dance was performed to protect the people and the land from the destruction and diseases brought by the new settlers. Among the more than 100 Pomo community

Parrott was the new owner and operator of the Sulphur Bank Quicksilver Mining Company on Elem ancestral lands. In the ensuing years, the mine would cause widespread mercury contamination of the lake, greatly affecting the Elem Pomo community. “Since the Fine Arts Museums are located in California — the ancestral homelands of the Pomo peoples and home to more Native Americans than any other state in the country — we are honored to have the opportunity to present new insights into their history and highlight their enduring artistry and rich contributions to the cultural heritage of Northern California. The Pomo basketry and regalia on view celebrate the enduring craftsmanship and skill of several generations of Pomo artists,” said Christina Hellmich, curator in charge of arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco. The roundhouse in Tavernier’s painting — like the one on the same site still in use by the community today — embodies the shape of a basket. The exhibition also explores the story of Pomo basketry. Historically, baskets were lifesustaining vessels used in all aspects of Pomo daily life. To create this variety of vessels, Pomo weavers mastered myriad ways of creating a basket and Pomo baskets are world-renowned for their beauty, mastery of technique and artistry. In this exhibition, viewers can see how this weaving tradition changed in response to the historic circumstances of Pomo peoples’ lives. The exhibition includes historical baskets made by Susanna Graves; Cora Juarez/Worris; Mary Knight Benson and William Benson; and “Elthie” (Ethel Bogus). Baskets reflect the resilience of Pomo communities through the ability and creativity of weavers to adapt to economic and social change, enabling this core aspect of Pomo culture to survive the devastating effects of colonialism. Weaver Clint McKay (Dry Creek Pomo/Wappo/ Wintun), whose works are included in the exhibition, explained, “To us it (basketry) is the very essence of who we are as Pomo.” Contemporary pieces

by McKay, Corine Pearce (Redwood Valley Little River Band of Pomo) and Susan Billy (Hopland Pomo) show the dynamism of Pomo basketry that continues to evolve with each new generation of artists. A short documentary film created for the exhibition, narrated by Pomo copresenters Geary, Smith-Ferri and Marrufo, introduces the audience to Clear Lake and the roundhouse; highlight the importance of the landscape and natural materials in Pomo basketry; and present the environmental and cultural impact of mining and land loss as well as the continuum of Elem Pomo ceremony at the site. Tavernier became known as a landscape painter, capturing scenes at the locations he traveled to across the U.S. The exhibition will present several works by Tavernier from Camp Robinson, Neb., and Fort Laramie, Wy. — U.S. military installations near the Red Cloud Agency of Chief Red Cloud — alongside narration by Native art historians, curators and cultural practitioners, designating these places as embodied lands and ancestral homelands rather than colonialist spaces for exploitation and occupation. The exhibition also includes several distinctive Northern California landscapes by Tavernier, including “Around the Campfire (Encampment

Distinctive from paintings by an earlier generation of artists portraying Native Americans in vast and seemingly empty landscapes ready for white settlement, Tavernier’s works feature Indigenous survival and also visualize the aftermath of genocide, land theft, forced relocation and cultural destruction.
About the Elem Pomo community Jules Tavernier and the Elem Pomo explores art, historic events and cultural heritage in the Elem Pomo community specifically and Pomo peoples more generally from the 1870s–80s to the present. A community of California Indians located just 100 miles north of San Francisco, the Elem Pomo reside in Clearlake Oaks on the shores of Clear Lake and are officially referred to today as the Elem Indian Colony of Pomo Indians of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria.

Local photographers wanted for area-wide spring event Traci Rockefeller Cusack News release SACRAMENTO — Led by Viewpoint Photographic Art Center — a nonprofit organization located in Midtown Sacramento — and in collaboration with many involved partners including the city of Sacramento, the next Photography Month Sacramento is scheduled for April 2022. A variety of diverse and eclectic events are planned that include special exhibits, receptions, open call competitions, meet-ups, workshops, lectures, photo shoot gatherings and more. Photography Month Sacramento creates a shared platform for galleries, museums, educational institutions, libraries, retail establishments, photographers and patrons to celebrate and elevate the art of photography. Interested participants are encouraged to create or highlight their own exhibits, displays, lectures, receptions, workshops,
demonstrations, temporary public art displays, art walks, photo shoot meet-ups and other special events to help showcase the art of photography. First launched in 2018, the biennial collaborative visual arts celebration has expanded to include Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, Yolo and El Dorado counties. Involvement in Photography Month Sacramento for businesses, museums and organizations is easy. The month-long regional showcase offers a great way to highlight visually enticing photographic programming already in place (maybe by incorporating a fresh visual element or hosting a special activation), introduce a concept in the planning stages or create something unique to engage enthusiasts and connect with new audiences throughout the region. Photography Month Sacramento is open to everyone — professional and amateur photographers alike — and offers wonderful opportunities to launch and/or exhibit photographic
work, or to create a grassroots collaborative exhibit with friends interested in the visual art. Those interested are encouraged to get creative and plan individual activations and/or contact favorite local coffee houses or restaurants to see if they might host an exhibit or reception in April 2022. Once any photography-related concepts are confirmed by businesses, organizations, museums or individuals, Photography Month Sacramento participants are encouraged to post information details about any upcoming events at photomonthsacramento.org/events, a community curated calendar that is connected to and supported by Sacramento365.com. For maximum awareness, exposure and collaboration opportunities, participants are encouraged to post information by Dec. 31. To explore available sponsorship opportunities or find out more detailed (and continually updated) information about Photography Month Sacramento 2022, visit photomonthsacramento.org.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 086623-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 086623-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Swingin’ Yuletide Revue coming to Sacramento SBL Entertainment News release
T
he latest dazzling iteration of award-winning singing, swinging bandleader Peter Petty’s big-band Christmas card to Sacramento, Hepcat’s Holla’Daze! Swingin’ Yuletide Revue, hits the stage this Saturday, Dec. 18. After taking 2020 off for COVID19 restrictions, Hepcats Holla’Daze! (now in its sixth year) is back, starring Sacramento’s own Man wit’ da Flop, Peter Petty, backed by his unparalleled 11-piece Titans of Terpsichore jazz orchestra in this scintillating, syncopating, live “Christmas special with a dance floor.” It’s a uniquely entertaining, truly one-of-a-kind event that, for many, has become a Sacramento holiday tradition. Petty’s award-winning showmanship, operatically trained three-and-two-thirds octave vocal range, singularly swinging orchestra and favorite regional guest stars are sure to make this event a stocking stuffer to remember all the way through the new year. And it ain’t just perfunctory performances of the usual Christmas songs you’re sick of hearing by the day after Thanksgiving, either. No, Hepcat’s Holla’Day! features unique holiday classics originally recorded by such diverse artists as Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima, James Brown, Bing Crosby and even the Pogues, to name just a few. And, the Sofia has a full bar, so you can order up a few peterpettytinis and really “enjoy” the show!
GE OAKS SENIOR CARE VILLA Guest stars this year include internationally chart-topping blues artist Katie Knipp; soul singer Dana Moret; operatic baritone Omari Tao; vivacious burlesque-inspired songstress Coco Lamarr; legendary saw player from the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Robert Armstrong; garage punk recording artists Th’ Losin Streaks; discount jazz duo The Freebadge Serenaders; Burlesque artists Monet Ha’Sidi, Jean Heart, and Sweet Belize, plus Miss Gay Sacramento 2021 A La Mode; the exciting New Orleans second-line traditions of the Element Brass Band; and the video impresarioism of liquidlight-show raconteur George Holden. Due to adult themes throughout the program, you’ll probably be glad you left the kiddies at home for this one. The show begins at 8 p.m. at The Sofia, 2700 Capitol Ave. in Sacramento. For tickets and more information call (916) 443-5300, visit bstreettheatre.org or email tickets@ bstreettheatre.org.
