Bob Billingsley was a Mountain Democrat columnist, El Dorado County probation officer and Mother Lode Lion who left his mark on the community.
Billingsley took his own advice – lived to bring joy Thomas Frey Staff writer
W
hether it was spending quality time with his family and friends, working as a probation officer and columnist or volunteering with the Mother Lode Lions Club, Bob Billingsley lived every chapter of his 82 years of life to the fullest. He found a purpose in everything he did until his passing Nov. 22 and it was rare others wouldn’t benefit from everything in his life’s work. The foundation for all of that was his wife Monika. Bob’s son Mark told the story of how his parents met. Bob was 15, Monika, 14, when he first laid eyes on her. He was playing basketball at a church in El Cerrito. He and his buddies noticed girls across the street working on a play and went over to talk to them. It was a quick match and they dated for about four years before spending the next 63 years married. He lived for her, and she for him. Whenever he had a chance, he would play “Edelweiss” from “The Sound of Music,” her favorite song in honor of her German heritage. They raised three children — Shelley, Mark and Heidi in Placerville. “He was a great guy and the world is a sadder place without him,” said longtime friend and retired El Dorado County public defender Steve Tapson. “He was outgoing, personable, had a sense of humor and got along with everybody.” Bob was born in Illinois and moved with his parents to the East Bay during World War II, where his father served as the Richmond police chief. Bob graduated from California State University, San Francisco, with a degree in sociology and began working for Fry’s grocery stores in the Bay Area. He was managing the most successful store in the chain and was paid very well for his efforts. n

S
ome 225 bicycles were lined up in front of Folsom Prison ready to be taken away by Cameron Park Rotarians Dec.
14. The bikes sat where Johnny Cash stood in 1968 before his iconic concert that turned into his first live album and topped music charts for weeks. Since the program was founded in 1986 by Rotarian and Cameron Park resident Joe Ryan, prisoners at Folsom Prison have worked full-time at redemption, refurbishing bicycles collected by Cameron Park Rotary to be distributed to youngsters and folks who need them. Folsom inmates Mike Galan, Larry Farrell and Alfonso Juarez worked all year fixing bikes brought to the prison. On a chilly Tuesday morning last week they gleefully lined up all the bikes they had spent so much time working on. Galan said the job gives him a chance to make up for his mistakes. Farrell and Juarez said it gives them great satisfaction to know the bikes will be enjoyed. Some of the bikes come to Folsom so beaten down that when they are put back together, parts from three bikes could be used to rebuild one bike, according to Juarez, who

Marilyn (Berg) McStay Tong
Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent
Dec. 7, 1938 – Dec. 10, 2021
Launa Marilyn Berg went home to be with her Savior Dec. 10 after a long season of dementia. Marilyn was born Dec. 7, 1938 in Chicago, Ill., to Cecil and Lonita Berg. The family, with older sister Wynema, soon moved west and settled in Richmond, Calif. When Marilyn was 7 years old, they moved to El Dorado County so her father could start a sawmill off Big Cut Road in Placerville. They built and lived in a cabin right off Mother Lode Drive (what was then Highway 50) and she attended Missouri Flat School through the eighth grade. Marilyn loved to learn and skipped two grades, graduating from El Dorado County High School in 1955. From there she followed her older sister Wynema and brother-in-law Dean Conley to Portland, Ore. to attend Multnomah School of the Bible. Before her last year of college, she married her high school sweetheart Gary McStay and they both attended Multnomah until Marilyn graduated. They moved back to Placerville where they had three children, Bruce, Cari and Kristi McStay before relocating to Hailey, Idaho. Not long after moving to Idaho, they divorced and Marilyn again returned to Placerville to raise her three children. In 1976 she married Earl (Sonny) Tong. Marilyn worked in the legal field most of her adult life, with a short stint as a secretary at her alma mater, El Dorado High School. She worked for attorneys John Weidman and Patrick J. Riley, before going to work for the El Dorado County Superior Court. She worked as a courtroom clerk for Judge Riley mostly until her retirement in 1997. After that she and Sonny enjoyed traveling in their fifth wheel through the western states, Canada and Alaska with Wynema and Dean, spending summers on their property in Fishtail, Mont. They built a house there and were able to live in it fulltime from 2006-08 until Sonny’s health brought them back to Placerville where they stayed until his death in 2018. At that time Marilyn’s dementia was advanced and her family moved her into assisted living in Cameron Park. Marilyn had a strong and abiding faith in Jesus and lived it out with each word and action. She loved God’s word and memorized many passages in the Bible. She taught Bible studies throughout the years and loved teaching children and youth. She loved singing and sang in many choirs from high school to college and beyond, often singing trios with Wynema and Dean Conley. Marilyn was a hard worker, sewing clothes on her antique treadle sewing machine, tending a huge garden and canning food to feed her family. She never had idle hands and was always busy doing something. Knitting, crocheting, painting and baking elaborate cakes were some of her hobbies. She loved the outdoors and nature. This enjoyment included backpacking, hunting, skiing and camping. She always said being a mother (and grandmother) was her highest calling and she loved her family wholeheartedly. And if you got to know her at all, she made you feel like you were family. She is survived by: her sister Wynema Conley; her three children, Bruce (Michele) McStay, Cari (Kip) Taylor and Kristi (John) Parker; grandchildren Zack McStay, Natalie McStay, Kyle (Klaire) Taylor, Kelsi (Tyler) Walton, Tyler (Anna) Parker, Katie Parker, Kierstin Parker and Karinne Parker and great-grandchildren Ridge Taylor, River Taylor and Baby Parker (due June 2022). A memorial service will be held Friday, Dec. 31 at 10 a.m. at Vintage Grace Church, 931 Lassen Lane, El Dorado Hills.

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Drug Free Treatment Method
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California brings back statewide mask mandate Anne Ternus-Bellamy Davis Enterprise With COVID-19 cases up 47% across the state since Thanksgiving, on top of the uncertainty posed by the Omicron variant, California announced Dec. 13 that it will reinstate a universal indoor mask mandate. All residents statewide as of Dec. 15 are required to mask up in indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status. The mandate is set to expire Jan. 15. A previous statewide mask mandate was dropped six months ago, though a number of counties later reinstated local mandates as cases surged due to the Delta variant. The new state mandate marks a change for about half of residents who live in counties where masks are not currently required indoors. In announcing the mandate, Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary

Beware of California’s obscene budget
H
ere’s a cautionary tale for California politicians who think voters will forever tolerate rising taxes as Sacramento swims in budget surpluses. In 1978 virtually every political institution in California Jon Coupal opposed Proposition 13, including big business, labor, local governments and education advocates. Then voters stunned the elite political class by enacting the iconic tax-cutting initiative, a constitutional amendment that legislators couldn’t touch, by nearly a two-thirds vote. The passage of Proposition 13 was driven by both fear and anger. The fear that motivated voters to the polls is easy to understand. Although unthinkable today — thanks to the security provided by Prop. 13 — in the mid-’70s homeowners were literally being driven out of their homes by high property taxes. Howard Jarvis himself witnessed a despondent widow plead To Californians, her case at the public counter in the L.A. County the sight of Assessor’s office where, government regrettably, she collapsed and died of a heart attack. sitting on wads The terrible fear of of cash while losing one’s home, even homeowners if the mortgage had been fully paid, was matched were losing only by anger. If citizens their homes due believe today’s political environment is divisive, to excessive it was more so leading taxation was just up to the election in June of 1978. Even those who more gasoline on cared little for politics rose the fire. up in rage after opening their annual property tax bills. Part of that anger was driven by Gov. Jerry Brown’s admission that California was sitting on a massive surplus. It was so large that California’s treasurer at the time, Jesse Unruh, labeled it as “obscene.” To Californians, the sight of government sitting on wads of cash while homeowners were losing their homes due to excessive taxation was just more gasoline on the fire. Are today’s politicians making the same mistake? The Legislative Analyst recently reported a budget surplus of $31 billion. It’s more than double the surplus that had Californians so angry in 1978. That “obscene” surplus was $3 billion, which is n

Letters to the Editor Redistricting win EDITOR: ebbie Manning, El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce president/CEO, didn’t get her way in El Dorado County’s 2021 supervisorial redistricting. Debbie extensively lobbied El Dorado County supervisors for El Dorado Hills’ 46,000 population to be divided equally into two districts. Left unsaid, however, was that her redistricting scheme would enable El Dorado Hills, with 24% of El Dorado County’s 191,185 residents, to gain 60% majority voting power in each of two (40%) of the county’s five supervisorial districts. To accommodate her scheme to gain disproportionate electoral power for El Dorado Hills, Debbie’s redistricting map proposals disdainfully split each of the Cameron Park, Shingle Springs and Diamond Springs/El Dorado census designated places, which would have marginalized the electoral rights of tens of thousands of residents in those other population centers. Thankfully, county staff emphasized the legal requirements under California’s Fair Maps Act to minimize splitting of census designated places. By doing so, they protected electoral rights of Cameron Park, Shingle Springs and El Dorado residents while stunting Debbie’s quest to garner grossly disproportionate extra electoral power for El Dorado Hills.

Stacking the deck EDITOR: n El Dorado County, a blatant, in-your-face “fix is in” to stack the deck on the Planning Commission in favor of developers who have no other interest than to add to their bottom line at our expense. It is not just about money in the developer’s pocket. It is about water, fire safety, more traffic added to an already deteriorating road system, not to mention other necessities of life ... and you will be expected to pay for all of it in money or sacrifice. Catering to developers has put us in the position
I
we find ourselves in: our roads are crap and we haven’t built water storage in years past for use now or in the future. The developers and connected friends in county government and on the Board of Supervisors have been removing any person on the Planning Commission who asks too many questions or does not go along with the accepted way things are done. This is not anything new. Three supervisors — Wendy Thomas, Sue Novasel and John Hidahl— requested Supervisor George Turnboo to remove a lady, with qualifications needed, from the Planning Commission for questionable reasons, in my opinion. Another lady with the qualifications was selected. Because of her position on the recall of Placerville City Council members (one of the council members is Mr. Thomas, Supervisor Thomas’ husband) she was rejected — also questionable. A third person has been selected to fill this position until 2025. He has the qualifications but, in my opinion, will favor developers as opposed to the two ladies. It will remain to be seen just which way the new member votes. Why does that matter? It matters because there are big subdivisions coming that will change this county forever. Developers and their county government minions do not want to leave any possibility to chance of (a project) not being approved. They have too much to lose. Because of the growing opposition to the Dorado Oaks Subdivision and the possibility of more contiguous subdivisions in Diamond Springs, the possibility of this rejection could become a reality.

Heinrich Frieherr von Luttwitz sent a party under a truce flag asking the American 101st Airborne forces at Bastogne to surrender. Michael “To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne. “The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Ourthe near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through HompreSibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands. “There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with
the presentation of this note. “If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this Raffety two hours term. “All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the wellknown American humanity. “The German Commander.” According to those present when McAuliffe received the German message, he read it, crumpled it into a ball, threw it in a wastepaper basket and muttered, “Aw, nuts.” The officers in McAuliffe’s command post were trying to find suitable language for an official reply when Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard suggested that McAuliffe’s first response summed up the situation pretty well and the others agreed. The official reply was typed and delivered by Col. Joseph Harper

to the German delegation. It was as follows: “To the German commander “NUTS! “From the American commander” Gen. George Patton’s 4th Armored Division relieved the siege of Bastogne on Dec. 30. Patton awarded McAuliffe the Distinguished Service Cross. He later received the Army Distinguished Service Medal twice, the Silver Star and the Legion of Merit. He was later promoted to major general. His 101st Airborne crossed the Rhine and elements of it later crossed the Brenner Pass, meeting up with American troops from the Italian campaign. McAuliffe didn’t swear. “Nuts” was his favorite expletive. ••• Dec. 15 the Mountain Democrat published the Bill of Rights on its 230th anniversary. When I was editor there was a guy named Tom (can’t remember his last name) who always called me up and reminded me to publish the Bill of Rights. That was his thing. Without this document we wouldn’t
have any rights; the government would have all the rights. There is a reason the most important rights are listed first. The First Amendment actually lists six rights: • No established religion • No prohibition of the free exercise of religion • Freedom of speech • Freedom of the press • Right to peaceably assemble • Right to petition the government That’s a lot of rights in just one amendment. ••• Overnight Dec. 14 it rained like crazy. Then it got quiet and the satellite TV signal became lost. That’s when I knew it had snowed. At 5:30 a.m. I turned on the floodlight, got a flashlight, broom and my flip flops and brushed the snow off the satellite dish. We could wind up with a white Christmas. The last time there was a white Christmas here we missed it, having spent Christmas in Yosemite. Michael Raffety is a retired editor of the Mountain Democrat and a resident of the Placerville area.

Snow has arrived, avalanche danger too S now in the mountains lights up smiles on skiers and everyone who enjoys snowshoe treks into the cold, snow-covered forest. Avalanches are part of the snowy mountain beauty. Every year when the snow falls, we get them. Where there’s snow Charlie in the mountains, there are avalanches. All of them — big or small — are extremely dangerous. Survival rates for anyone caught in one are dismal. Avalanches are not predictable. They cannot be controlled or stopped. They simply thunder downhill until they run out of energy. When you read about a controlled avalanche it’s one that has been intentionally triggered to mitigate the danger for skiers or for traffic along a mountain pass. If you ski or board at one of the

within one day if it is an antigen test and two days if it is a PCR test. That marks a change from the previous interval of 72 hours. • Travelers who visit or return to California are now recommended to get tested within three to five days of their arrival. In announcing the mask mandate and other changes, Ghaly laid out his concerns about what may be coming as the state’s case rate increased from 9.6 cases per 100,000 residents to 14 since Thanksgiving. “We see what’s happening in parts of Europe,” he said, including the announcement out of the UK on Monday of the first death due to the Omicron variant, as well as mitigation measures being implemented across the continent.

many great downhill resorts that dot this part of the Sierra, a lot happens before you get there. Every day before resorts open teams of very experienced snow patrollers head up the slopes to assess the snow, looking for avalanche dangers. They ferris do everything they can to mitigate those dangers. They will trigger avalanches with explosive hand charges thrown into problem areas or fire off gas cannons to keep everyone safe. Areas just too dangerous for resort guests will be closed. Things are wildly different outside ski resort boundaries where anyone venturing into the backcountry is on their own. There is no backcountry avalanche mitigation. It’s completely up to you
Likewise, Ghaly said, “we see other states in the United States struggle with overwhelmed hospitals and high numbers of cases.” “Masks do make a difference,” he said. Universal indoor masking in California’s schools have ensured they stay open and students remain in class, said Ghaly, who added that, “even a 10% increase in indoor masking can reduce case transmission significantly.” “As we head into the holidays, where people are mixing with others they’re not normally around in public places, then wearing a mask is going to be one of the most important things to help us get through this period of uncertainty.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some habits are hangovers from a time when such behavior was necessary. When the necessity left, the habit stayed. Now it’s either a fond memory or a waste of motion; you decide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Domestic life will be improved by implementing one key change. This behavior might feel strange and forced at first but with repetition it quickly becomes comfortable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t advise or instruct. People don’t like to be told what to do today. Model everything you want to see in others. They’ll likely follow your lead but even if they don’t, at least you benefit from living your ideal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What comes around goes around, and rather immediately today. This fact favors you since you’re inclined to make contributions that are helpful, supportive and loving. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Oddly, too much politeness can be impolite. If it sets a tone that makes people uncomfortable, it defeats the purpose of manners. Besides, people get bored with predictability. Your unexpected behavior will delight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Long after others have given up, you will still be holding on. It shows heart, yet your tenacity doesn’t feel like effort because you’re naturally inclined to follow through.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been working in the dark, metaphorically. Someone must know where the light switch is. Your inquisitiveness will save the day. You’ll ask more people better questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not trying to win someone over, rather you just want to express yourself and you’re in no mood to go small. Your boldness will make a difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone in the group is committed to meeting a common goal. You may not technically be the team leader but it will fall to you to keep everyone motivated. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe you’ve been sharing a little too much. The good stuff is meant for you, too. The world is your poem to read; your mystery to solve; your beauty to revel in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your stellar work ethic disallows you to anything but your best. Today, this will entail taking more than your share of responsibility and continuing on long after the glamour has worn off. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Stick to your plan. You might have to pass on a spur-of-the-moment opportunity but you won’t really be missing out. Right now, it’s more important to keep your word to yourself. In time, you’ll do everything you want to do.

hopping to Rocklin where she worked as the Public Affairs and Economic Growth manager, the Director of the Office of Economic Development and director of Parks and Recreation, respectively. Garner grew up in the Tulare County town of Lindsay where her family farmed oranges. She has a bachelor’s degree in public relations from California State University, Fullerton, and a master’s degree in urban and regional planning from California State University, San Jose. “When you get to this position, there is a lot of research that you do before applying,” Garner said. “One of the things that attracted me here is the people do care about what happens and I really enjoy working with the community. I will definitely be open to meeting anybody and everybody and sharing my background along the way.” Supervisors voted Garner to her position unanimously.
“We are delighted to have someone of Karen’s caliber join the county and help lead the department through the current challenging issues and those that are on the horizon,” said Board Chair and District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl. “She has an excellent background, which is well suited to take on the responsibilities of this position.” At a salary of $182,062, Garner will start her position Jan. 3, 2022. “I very much look forward to working with the people in El Dorado County,” Garner said. “I see my job as being a reflection of what the community wants and their desires, and I understand that it is very different from one end of the county to the other. I look at my background and experience in working with different communities as being very helpful because each community wants and needs their own things so I look forward to bringing that here.”

to know about avalanche conditions and safety, whether you’re new to the backcountry or are experienced. The best way to learn is to attend an avalanche course. Full disclosure here: this column is not an avalanche course. REI has REI-AIARE Avalanche Awareness Workshops and Sierra Avalanche Center has a long list of providers of classes with locations all over our part of the Sierra. Find the list at sierraavalanchecenter.org/education/providers. Have there already been avalanches around here this season? Yes, and they will continue to happen. The experts at Sierra Avalanche Center go out every day to various locations in all kinds of weather to assess snow conditions. They dig pits to expose the layers of snow, study the composition of the snow and test those layers to determine if they are likely to cut loose and head downhill. The reports are on the website, along with observations from cross-country skiers in the backcountry. Any slope at 30 degrees or steeper is prone to avalanches. Lesser slopes can also let one loose.

You don’t have to be cutting across an upper slope to trigger one. Skiing or snowshoeing below can also set off an avalanche. Each snowstorm leaves a layer of snow and if the layers aren’t holding onto each other, the chances of an avalanche increase. A hard-packed, consolidated layer over a weak unconsolidated layer can break away at any time. Check the Sierra Avalanche Center site at sierraavalanchecenter.org before heading out to the backcountry. Know what to look for. Stay away from anything that looks dicey. Know before you go — every time. Remember to take everything you may need while in the backcountry. Food, water, chocolate-covered peanut M&M’s, meds, gear, a compass, map and enough layers (no cotton anything) to stay comfortable for the day. Always go with a buddy and let someone who’s not with you know where you’re going and when you think you’ll be back. Gear up and safely enjoy your time out there. Get outside!

noted that the brakes are the hardest part to fix. All bikes are test ridden to make sure they are ready for a new life. Farrell said the group of three makes extra sure any bike given to a little kid is extremely safe. The bikes were released by Folsom Prison Warden Rick Hill in front of representatives from the Folsom Moose Lodge, Cameron Park Rotary Club, Union Gospel Mission, El Dorado County Probation and the El Dorado County Office of Education. Bicycles are distributed throughout El Dorado County and many will be given out the day before Christmas to Caldor Fire victims and youth of lowincome families.

Bob Billingsley and his wife Monika, left photo, at a Placerville Fellowship and Newcomers Club event in 2016. Bob Billingsley, center, is sworn in as a probation officer in 1974, right photo.
Billingsley
Continued from A1
Bob and Monika had Shelley at the time and he was putting in 60-80 hours of work a week. “He said he worked so many hours he didn’t really even know his daughter,” Mark said. “He’d come home and she would be sleeping and he always woke up before she did. He said this isn’t what he wanted to do.” He put his degree to use and began working probation in Alameda County and figured out he wanted to continue that career path. In 1972 the family moved to Placerville. “You felt so well loved that you didn’t want to disappoint him,” Mark said. “I was never really worried about being disciplined necessarily, I was worried about disappointing him.” Mark recalled one time, he doesn’t remember why, when he got in trouble. Bob came home and heard about it. Instead of getting on Mark right away, he just began to read the newspaper as his son waited
anxiously. “I remember feeling so terrible I disappointed him that any punishment would have been better than the silent treatment,” Mark said. Mark saw firsthand how strong Bob’s approach was and followed his example when he became a father. Their relationship grew stronger with time and they spent many nights in Bob’s courtyard enjoying cigars as adults. “We always kind of joked that we like to have cigars and solve the world’s problems,” Mark said. “By the time we finished the cigar we had the world’s problems solved. It was a great time to sit and reflect. We talked philosophy, politics, sports and we shared a lot of the same interests so making conversation was always very easy.” Bob become an El Dorado County probation officer with the move to Placerville, making many longlasting friendships with everyone from the parolees he worked with to

Tapson. Bob and Tapson were part of a group that became hooked to tennis during the John McEnroe/Jimmy Connors tennis boom in the 1970s and they played roughly three times a week for more than 30 years. Tapson said he could always tell Bob — known as Mr. B to the people he worked with on probation — really cared about helping them turn their lives around. “He went out of his way to try and keep his probationers on the straight and narrow and he worked with them as well,” Tapson said. Even after his clients’ probationary periods came to an end, Mr. B was always there to help as they continued to stay out of prison, started families and stayed clean if they had an addiction. “He checked up on them quite a bit,” Mark said. “I think he really took delight and satisfaction in seeing people turn their lives around after serving their time and repaying their debt to society.” Bob retired in 1996 and spent the final years working for the special investigations unit for the Bureau of Prisons where he co-authored a book identifying prison tattoos. When he retired from probation his next life passions filled his plate like the doughnuts he loved eating. He began writing columns for the Mountain Democrat and volunteered for the Mother Lode Lions Club — two things he got to do with Monika. With the Lions Club he joined the Community Action Team. If people were moving and needed help, Bob and his team — in their 60s and 70s — could be seen lifting heavy armoires down flights of stairs. “It was a lot of guys who would go out and they would do yard work for seniors or people who couldn’t do it anymore,” said former Lions Club president Maryellen Ware. “They built ramps, just did all sorts of things. He loved it.” Maryellen and her late husband Dewey spent many nights with the Billingsleys, leading to a “terrific friendship.” When he began writing at the Mountain Democrat, the Wares became some of his biggest fans. “We always read his columns,” Ware said. For 23 years he authored “Heard Over the Back Fence” and “Billingsley’s Bullets.” Since he didn’t know how to type, he handwrote his columns and Monika not only typed them up, but edited them.
He was a Democrat living in a Republican county and he was never afraid to gracefully pen his outsidethe-box thoughts. “I think some of the things he talked about were confrontational in a good way,” Mark said. “In a way a friend would check another friend. He had a unique perspective and he did a lot of research himself.” Former Mountain Democrat managing editor Pat Lakey said it was a treasure having Bob in the newsroom during those years. “He had the biggest heart for others and he hated to see anyone suffering from life’s blows,” Lakey said. “I wish the newspaper’s readers still could turn to ‘Heard Over the Back Fence’ or ‘Billingsley’s Bullets’ and enjoy the homespun wisdom Bob shared for so many years.” Bob’s office at the paper was known as the “Land of Golden Twinkies.” He would always bring in doughnuts or Twinkies for everyone, but secretly, it was an excuse for him to have some. Any time Bob and Monika went on vacation, it was a guarantee he would find a doughnut shop, oftentimes making friends with the owners. The couple’s favorite spots were Eden, Utah, and Pismo Beach. “They visited friends and they kicked the crap out of retirement,” Mark said. “They did it right.” Bob would always walk the 2-mile trip to the pier and back at Pismo and then he would walk straight to the doughnut shop. “Whatever could justify a trip to a doughnut shop he’s gonna do,” Mark said. “He never met a doughnut or a doughnut shop he didn’t like. I don’t think they existed in his world.” Mark was a journalist for more than a quarter century at the Sacramento Bee and became a middle school teacher about five years ago. To honor his father, he has his students call him Mr. B. There will be a roast/memorial Jan. 15 at 2 p.m. at the Lions Club on Missouri Flat Road in Diamond Springs. It will be more of a roast than a memorial with plenty of doughnuts, cigars, cookies and everything else Bob loved. Bob was often asked to emcee for his friends when they retired and he loved it so much he bought a suit for those occasions. “He was the No. 1 person to do a roast,” Ware said. “He was a great friend, a terrific Lion and he will be sorely missed.”

Don’t forget about chablis when thinking of a lovely wine to serve with holiday meals and more. Chablis is so much more than an old school, expensive white wine.
Windows and Patio Doors! BUY ONE, GET ONE
Chablis is timeless and never old school. The strength of chablis is found not just in its terroir and climate, but also in its passionate, committed and diverse winemaking community ranging from 14th to second-generation winemakers. Many of them are young and unafraid to challenge winemaking practices of the past having benefitted from better training and experiences abroad, translating beautifully in the vineyard through a blend of tradition and modernity.

‘Old Farmer’s Almanac’ prediction:
Be prepared for a winter season of shivers News release According to the latest edition of “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” this winter will be punctuated by positively bone-chilling, belowaverage temperatures across most of the U.S. “This coming winter could well be one of the longest and coldest that we’ve seen in years,” said Janice Stillman, editor of “The Old Farmer’s Almanac.” For 230 years the Almanac has been helping readers to prepare for winter’s worst with its 80% accurate weather forecasts. In some places, the super cold of the coming winter will also bring lots of snow. This extreme wintry mix is expected in areas of New England as well as throughout the Ohio Valley, in northern portions of the Deep South, and in southeast New Mexico. Above-average snowfall is also in the forecast along a track from eastern Montana southward through the western halves of the Dakotas and into northeastern Colorado. While temperatures in this midcountry strip will be relatively normal, snowfall will be abundant, with several storms predicted
throughout the winter. Meanwhile, most western areas will remain relatively dry, with all but the Pacific Coast itself and portions of the Southwest experiencing the frigid cold predicted for much of the rest of the country. In addition to its much-anticipated weather forecasts, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” is known for being “useful, with a pleasant degree of humor.” Highlights from the 2022 Almanac include: • Gardening tips for growing a rainbow of dahlias or a patch of pumpkins (hint: the bumpier the skin, the sweeter the taste), plus how to make scents of potpourri. • Recipes that make the most of the season, along with awardwinning dishes and desserts that use five or fewer ingredients. • Dispatches from small farmers, including how they fared during 2020 and continue to diversify for the future. • The art and science of animal tracking, plus how to read Mother Nature’s signs to choose a fishing spot.
The Public Square
All this awaits in the 2022 Almanac, along with stories about gargantuan hail (is it becoming more common?); the 50th anniversary of an epic international sports showdown; an examination of teeth, from cradle to grave; the 17-year-old design genius behind the 50-star American flag; unique tourist locations that let visitors get up close to saints, war heroes and even Roy Rogers’s horse; 2022 home and lifestyle trends and much more.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF DAVID K. VERRY AKA DAVID KEITH VERRY CASE NO. 21PR0056 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DAVID K. VERRY, aka DAVID KEITH VERRY A PETITION for Probate has been filed by LINDA D. VERRY in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that LINDA D. VERRY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: February 9, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: THOMAS R.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
