STATELINE, Nev. — Las Vegas captain Mark Stone has never been to Lake Tahoe but he has watched the celebrity golf tournament many times on TV. He has seen the region through national television broadcasts and is excited to see it for himself during practice Friday. Stone was part of a conference Zoom call Monday to discuss playing outdoors at Lake Tahoe. His Golden Knights will play the Colorado Avalanche at noon Saturday in the first game of two during NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe. The second game will feature the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers at noon Sunday. Both games will be nationally broadcast on NBC, Sportsnet and TVA Sports. “Playing outdoors brings back good memories — breathing in the fresh air, having snow coming down and playing with your buddies,” Stone said. “Everything I’ve heard about Tahoe is that it’s a four-season location. It’s going to be a pretty cool scene with all the surrounding mountains. I’m just excited for the first practice to take it all in. It’s almost like we’re gonna be away from civilization for two days.” Stone’s teammate, forward Jonathan Marchessault, is also thrilled to be heading about eight hours north from Las Vegas to play in South Lake Tahoe. “We can’t wait to get there and get it started,” he n

t takes a special kind of person to donate organs or body tissue not just once but twice. Meet Theresa Plyler, 47, a graphic designer and as she says, the “parts car of the family.” Theresa first got into the donation business in 1985 at the age of 11 when she donated bone marrow to her sister Anna, now 55 with the married name Sierra, after Anna developed aplastic anemia, a condition where the body stops producing blood cells. A fatal disease unless the person can find a bone marrow donor, Anna came down with the disease when she was 18-19

— John Magsamen, brother and kidney recipient years old after taking a certain pain medication that’s since been taken off the market. Theresa said their brother John was also a match for the donation but had diabetes so Theresa was a better candidate. The bone marrow transplant was done at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle as doctors there pioneered the procedure. “Bone marrow transplants were just experimental at the time,” Theresa said. Making the trek from Santa Rosa, the family stayed at an apartment near the

hospital while Anna was treated. Initially Anna had to go through heavy doses of chemotherapy to completely wipe out her old immune system. Theresa said they did that to reduce the risk her immune system might reject the new bone marrow. They even changed Anna’s blood type to match Theresa’s so there would be less chance of rejection. During surgery, holes were drilled into Theresa’s hip bones and a bag of bone marrow was aspirated and then implanted in Anna. Theresa said her sister completely recovered from the procedure and has remained n

Placerville City Council welcomes wine country signage Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer After a proposal almost two years ago to place an El Dorado Wine Association sign along Highway 50 failed to materialize, local wineries may finally get that visibility boost. At the Feb. 9 meeting of the Placerville City Council it was decided the city would provide a letter to the California Department of Food and Agriculture in support of seeking funding for an El Dorado Wine Association sign. It would be a native stone monumentstyle sign at the Ray Lawyer Drive interchange on Highway 50 just west of downtown Placerville. The 40-foot-by-15-foot installation would have live grapevines, a sign with mountain peaks and read, “Welcome to El Dorado Wine Country.” The Mountain Democrat reported in April 2019 that EDWA spokesperson Lexi Boeger proposed an addition to the

existing Placerville welcome sign at Highway 50 and Spring Street. The City Council, although in favor of the initial concept, directed staff to continue conversations with EDWA on an alternative plan for the signage. Designed by local architect Charlie Downs, the latest sign’s fate will ultimately be decided by Caltrans as the proposed site lies on Caltrans’ right of way. But first the association must secure funds. “We will not find out until September if we get this CDFA funding and then cannot begin work on it until November,” said Kara Sather, EDWA’s executive director. EDWA submitted a proposal for $380,000 to the CDFA for funding through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program roughly a year ago that aims to enhance the competitiveness of California speciality crops. EDWA was recently n

Catherine attended Gold Oak Elementary and graduated from El Dorado High School in 1980. She also graduated from Heald Business College. Catherine is survived by her husband Richard Barrentine of Placerville; mother Dianne Cummings of Yerington, Nev.; sister Debbie Mays of St. Louis, Mo.; sister Corrine Pereria of Ceres, Calif.; daughters Jessica Cummings and Melissa Nichols both from Placerville.

Albert Ralph Gold Jr. April 30, 1957 – Feb. 9, 2021

Albert Ralph Gold Jr. of El Dorado Hills passed away Feb. 9 at the age of 63 after a courageous battle with COVID19. Albert was born in Sacramento, Calif., on April 30, 1957 to Albert Ralph Gold Sr. and Mary Louise Pepper. The oldest of five, Albert shared a rambunctious childhood with his sister, Cathy and brothers Tony, Allen and Chris. A loving husband, Al shared 39 amazing years married to the love of his life, Lisabeth Jane Gold. He was a passionate father to his four children, Christy, Jeremy, AJ and Hunter. He was also the most devoted Papa to his five grandchildren, Austin, Drew, Jayden, Dylan and Peyton; while excitedly awaiting the arrival of his sixth grandchild, Auden, and his first great-grandchild, Cayden. To his nieces and nephews, he will be remembered as fun-loving Uncle Al. Al was a sailor at heart. His naval career began at the age of 17 on the USS Craig, but the majority of his days at sea were spent on the legendary USS Midway. Chief Gold retired from the U.S. Navy in 1992 and began looking for his next big career. He tested out a few short-lived professions before he went back to school and became the proud owner of Evergreen Turf and Tree Care for 18 years. In the end, Al’s love for the water landed him back on a boat as manager of Boating and Waterways for the State of California. Al embraced every opportunity to engage with his community, finding lifelong friends along the way. He spent time on the Ponderosa Little League Board of Directors. He also worked on neighborhood affairs with his Marble Mountain Community Service District family. Moved by the love of watching his vineyard grow, he made award-winning vino with his wine club family and was often found in his Jeep crawling over boulders with his Rubicon family. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit, his passion for community and humanity spanned all the way to Louisiana. Along with his oldest son, Jeremy, they organized 18-wheelers loaded with water purifiers, ice makers, thousands of pounds of life-saving food and supplies. Their caravan traveled 2,240 miles and arrived before both FEMA and the Red Cross, successfully becoming the “largest grassroots relief effort from California” according to the Sacramento Bee. Al was a builder and a dreamer. He would start off every morning in his robe fueling up for the day with his third cup of coffee. You would never find him standing around with his hands in his pockets, all of his children knew this was a cardinal sin. Al and Lisa’s visions came to life with his endless projects on the house and around the property like building docks and decks, bathrooms and chicken coops and he still always found time to lend a hand for any friend or family member in need. Al would wind down in the evenings with a martini in hand. Albert’s immediate family will lay him to rest Monday, Feb. 22. He joins his fierce mother, Mary, and his quick-witted brother, Chris, both also taken by COVID-19. In lieu of flowers, Albert’s family believes he would love a contribution towards RubiconTrailFoundation.org or FoodBankedc.org. A celebration of life will be organized at a later date. Forever at sea, Albert will be missed by friends and family spanning the globe.

Patrick Gerald O’Halloran passed away peacefully at his home in Camino, Calif., June 13 at the age of 93. Born in Prairie Home, Neb., he lived on a farm with his parents and two sisters until they moved to Chino, Calif., in 1941. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy from 1944-46 during World War II and served on the USS Hancock. From 1948-52, he worked part-time for the California Division of Highways in San Bernardino while attending college. He graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering in June 1954. That same year, he married Donna, his loving and devoted wife of 65 years. For more than 32 years, Pat worked for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). After starting as an assistant bridge engineer, he rose through the ranks to ultimately become the Deputy District Director for Caltrans District 10, responsible for all state highway design and construction that included nine counties. For 20 years as a bridge engineer, he worked on the designs of several award-winning bridges and projects, including the Melones Bridge, the Stockton Channel Project and the Pioneer Memorial Bridge. His work impacted all of California, including the San Diego Freeway Structures, the Artesia Freeway Structures in Los Angeles and the Caldecott Tunnel. After retiring from Caltrans in 1984, he continued to work as a consulting engineer for Bissell & Karn and later for URS Greiner. In 1968, Pat and Donna moved their family of five children to Camino where they established O’Halloran’s Apple Trail Ranch. For more than 50 years, they have been growing apples, pumpkins and Christmas trees and have been long-time members of the Apple Hill Growers Association. Pat was very active in the community in El Dorado County. For more than 30 years, he served as a director of the El Dorado County Fair. He also served as a member of the El Dorado County Planning Commission. With his love of horses and history, he participated in the reenactment of the Pony Express ride for many years as a member of the National Pony Express Association. In 1984, he had the honor of being one of the 16 Pony Express riders to ride in the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade. He is survived by Donna, his devoted and loving wife of 65 years. He will be greatly missed by his children and their spouses: Mike (Kunthea), Dave (Wendy), Dan (Stacie), Tim (Laurel) and Kelly. He was the proud grandfather of Tim (Ali), Corey, Zachary, Jake, Lindsey, Patrick, Alyssa, Annalea, Jerry, Peter, Sophie and Rosemary, and his great-granddaughter, Sawyer. Arrangements have been entrusted to Chapel of the Pines.

Attempted pharmacy robbery thwarted Dawn Hodson Staff writer

entrance. The suspects were taken into custody without further incident. A photo of the stolen medications shows two bottles of oxycodone hydrochloride were among the drugs snatched up by the suspects. Oxycodone hydrochloride is a narcotic with an abuse potential similar to morphine. A statement from the Sheriff ’s Office said no weapons were used by the suspects who were charged with robbery and conspiracy and booked into El Dorado County’s juvenile hall.

El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies interrupted a robbery in progress Feb. 11 at the Walgreens in Placerville as three male juveniles reportedly tried to exit the drug store with stolen medication. Two of the three suspects jumped over the pharmacy counter, physically grabbed two employees and demanded access to medication, according to sheriff ’s officials. The third suspect reportedly grabbed and threatened an employee near the store

Three juvenile males attempted to steal these medications, including oxycodone hydrochloride, from the Placerville Walgreens last week.

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

CLARIFICATION

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.

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California Matters

Prison officials goofed and people died

ov. Gavin Newsom has unilaterally decided to eliminate California’s death penalty for capital crimes even though it remains in the law. Newsom declared a moratorium on executing any of the 700-plus occupants on Dan Walters San Quentin Prison’s death row, saying, “It has provided no public safety benefit or value as a deterrent. It has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars.” Nevertheless, Newsom’s prison agency, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, in effect, sentenced dozens of San Quentin inmates to death when it transferred prisoners infected with COVID-19 into the facility, as a new report from the prison system’s inspector general details. The corrections department thus joins the evergrowing list of state agencies tainted by brain-dead managerial decisions, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Employment Development Department, with seriously adverse consequences — in this case, needless deaths. In late May, as COVID-19 raged, prison officials transferred 189 inmates with pre-existing medical conditions and deemed vulnerable to infection from the California Institution for Men in Chino to San Quentin A big mistake by and another prison in California prison Corcoran, both of which were infection-free. officials spread However, as Inspector COVID-19 and General Roy Wesley told Newsom and legislators, resulted in dozens the transferees had not of deaths, both been tested to learn inmates and one whether they were already infected. staff member. “According to email conversations that we reviewed, a California Institution for Men health care executive explicitly ordered that the incarcerated persons not be retested the day before the transfers began, and multiple (prison) executives were aware of the outdated nature of the tests before the transfers occurred,” Wesley said. “The risk of placing some symptomatic incarcerated persons on the buses was exacerbated by another inexplicable decision … to increase the number of incarcerated persons on some of the buses, thus decreasing the physical distance between them, and increasing the risk that the virus could spread among the incarcerated persons and staff on the buses,” the report continues. “At San Quentin, nursing staff noticed that two of the inmates arrived with symptoms of COVID19. Despite this, almost all inmates who arrived were placed in a housing unit without solid doors, allowing air to flow in and out of the cells,” Wesley said.

Letters to the Editor From a grateful senior EDITOR: ooner or later this madness will end (let’s pray sooner). When it is finally over, wouldn’t it be great if the county held a huge party for all the workers and volunteers at the senior center? They have been working tirelessly to provide healthy and tasty meals for us seniors.

Our homeless EDITOR: am writing this letter as I read the story on the homeless in the Feb. 1 issue of the Mountain Democrat. This story gives a better understanding of what their story is. It makes me so sad to see folks who are not as fortunate as us living outside in this cold winter weather. Just remember, when we are cold we can turn up the heat. The homeless don’t have that option. CONNIE ROSEN Pollock Pines

Saving babies EDITOR: oe v. Wade — the U.S. Supreme Court decision on Jan. 22, 1973, legalized abortion in America. It’s a solemn day because 62 million precious unborn babies have lost their lives and their opportunity to live and experience life as the rest of us have had the opportunity to live our God-given lives. We lose 2,363 innocent babies daily. The latest report shows that abortion is now responsible for 42% of deaths worldwide. One of the last things President Donald Trump did in office was issue a proclamation declaring Jan. 22, 2021, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day, which echoes many pro-life presidents before him. To help in the efforts to save unborn babies there

are many nonprofit, pro-life organizations available across America that want to help any mother going through a crisis pregnancy. These living volunteers are available to meet the mother’s physical, mental, spiritual and emotional needs with their time and love in action. Our local center is Pregnancy Counseling Services at 3105 Cedar Ravine Road, Suite 103, Placerville. They have made a huge difference in our community, meeting the needs of hundreds of women over the last 36 years. CLAIRE & JEFF WINGER Somerset

Advice for Republicans EDITOR: am a Democrat. Certainly I am happy with the results of this past election. The Republican president lost and the Democrat won. Both houses of Congress are under Democratic control. I feel victorious, but I realize I need to extend a helping hand in the form of an intervention to my Republican counterparts. I know I could just let you destroy yourselves by following your current path. Instead, I want to talk some sense into you. I hope you will listen. Many lies have been told about the November election. Rather patiently, we waited while lawsuits were filed and lost and while ballots were counted, recounted and recounted again. We didn’t mind waiting because we knew the truth would come out and doubts would be erased. After all of that it turned out that no matter what simple truths were confirmed, the lies persisted. The worst part was that Republican members of Congress kept repeating the lies and fueling the doubt and mistrust. I feel badly for the people who believed the lies and counted on their congressional leaders to help them understand the truth. Instead we witnessed people in Congress, who know better, fuel the fire. A leader has a responsibility to care for his supporters. I know your supporters are unhappy and disappointed. I know how that feels. I’ve been disappointed over the results of plenty of elections. Eventually we must face the facts. You lost. Republicans, you need to help your constituents see the truth. Help ease their pain. Help the realize

The Not So Weekly Daley

Adventures of getting a vaccine in the days of COVID-19

friend did us a big solid a couple of weeks ago. She made appointments for us to get the COVID19 shots. She had helped a number of other clients get scheduled as well. Evidently she gets up a lot earlier than some of us. Chris Well, we called the pharmacy to confirm and needed to clarify that we had discovered the initial data, birthdates and address were incorrect. The person at the pharmacy in Folsom informed us that if the original information was not accurate, it could not be changed in the “great database in the sky.” Therefore the appointment was null and void. And some other unknown technicalities might be likewise involved. That all sounded kind of thirdworld, (couldn’t’ find their a** with both hands and a flashlight) bureaucratic to me. We tried to correct the old information online, but indeed as we’d been warned, the “great database ...”

would not budge. Subsequently, we received two email reminders of the originally scheduled appointment. We had not yet surrendered to the “great database’s” impenetrable wall and thus had not officially canceled the original vaccination schedule. Daley Maybe we keep it and just go with the incorrect data. But maybe that would skew the greater effectiveness of the “great database” and wind up hurting someone else. Nah, besides we have to show photo ID, Medicare and AARP insurance cards. Getting busted for COVID-19 vaccination fraud would be pretty embarrassing — even if it was in a different county. Other options appeared and faded away just as fast. Apparently, the best we could do was make another appointment for two weeks later. So we did, but that didn’t satisfy as a cure for the original nonsensical situation and it prolonged our vulnerability to the risk of the COVID. Let’s give it one more try; get

the powers in-charge to at least acknowledge the Catch 22 of this apparent reality. Even better would be if they acknowledged the farce and said, “Come on down and get shot.” So last Monday I called and, in my most confused old guy voice, explained all the mysteries I didn’t understand about our predicament. And can’t something be done to help? I pointed out that my actual age is north of 76, not the youngish 71 on the online form our friend had submitted. I finished off with a brief history of my multiple heart attacks. She agreed to check with the pharmacist. The pharmacy person came back on the line and said the birthdates could be corrected but the address absolutely could not. I considered that an early (but only partial) win. I said we had heard the exact opposite — that the address could be fudged, i.e. corrected, but the birthdates could not. She checked once again with the pharmacist, came back on the line and asked for our correct birthdates, which I readily supplied. “I guess that means, we’ll see you tomorrow?” I asked hopefully. “Yes,” she said. A mystery remains: She and the

pharmacist didn’t actually confirm or deny either of the points about whether it’s the address or birthdates that can or cannot be changed. Be that as it may, we intended to keep that appointment Tuesday I asked for directions to the store and thanked her profusely for all her kind assistance to a couple of befuddled El Dorado County seniors. We got there early, filled out the store form and waited, at most, five minutes. The pharmacist did the shooting and explained a couple of procedural things about the Moderna dose and scheduled us 28 days hence for dose two. And that was that. Oh, for future reference, the Folsom McDonald’s (farther down East Bidwell from U.S. 50 doesn’t serve breakfast items after 10:30 a.m.) A big shout out to the Folsom Rite Aid. For some strange reason, something in this entire saga makes me think of the punchline from that old joke: “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show?” If anyone can help make sense of that, I’d appreciate it.

“By the time the prison tested the incarcerated persons for COVID-19, many of those who tested positive had been housed in the unit for at least six days. The virus then spread quickly through the housing unit and to multiple areas throughout the prison. The prison’s inability to properly quarantine and isolate incarcerated persons exposed to or infected with COVID-19, along with its practice of allowing staff to work throughout the prison during shifts or on different days, likely caused the virus to spread to multiple areas of the prison.” The 169-year-old San Quentin was probably the worst possible place to send the untested inmates and by the end of August had reported having 2,237 COVID-19 cases in its inmate population and 277 in its staff with 28 inmate deaths and one staff fatality. Transfers to the state prison in Corcoran were much smaller. Its cells also have solid doors that inhibit airborne spread of infection and its COVID19 outbreak was therefore relatively minor. Shortly after Wesley issued his report, Cal-OSHA, which oversees occupational safety, fined the prison system $421,880 for serious lapses in protecting its employees from COVID-19, the largest worker safety penalty levied during the pandemic. Bottom line: While Newsom beseeches Californians to limit spread of the deadly disease by following state guidelines, his prison system ignored them and people died. It’s the sort of thing, like the meltdowns at DMV

and the employment department, that’s infuriating to the voting and taxpaying public — and rightfully so. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

President Trump lost legitimately and President Biden won legitimately. President Biden is president for Republicans, Democrats and independents, and wants to help all of us and make our lives better. Here is a word of caution to my Republican friends: If you don’t help your voters understand the truth, their anger will destroy us all. Did you see the mob attack on the Capitol Jan. 6? I don’t think I will ever forget it. Certainly you remember it. You were there. Eventually your voters will figure it out. When they realize you did mislead them, you think they will continue to support you? This means fewer Republicans. Does that sound like trouble to you? That is all the help I am willing to give. Join us and President Biden and Vice President Harris to heal the country, come together and accept the truth. BONNIE CHAPMAN Placerville

Fight over South Lake Tahoe cell towers taken to federal court Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — A South Lake Tahoe woman and several nonprofit groups are taking their fight against cell towers to the California District Court. Monica Eisenstecken, Tahoe Stewards LLC, Tahoe for Safer Tech and the Environmental Health Trust are asking the court to put a halt on the development of new cell towers and wireless antennas and facilities. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and

its board and Tahoe Prosperity Center have been named in the suit as well as Verizon Wireless. When a cell tower was approved by South Lake Tahoe officials to be built across the street from Eisenstecken’s home, she appealed the city’s decision. She, along with members of the community cited health and environmental concerns from the cell towers and small cell boxes, as well as fear of a decrease in property value. The city denied her appeal. The case filed against

TRPA and TPC states, “TRPA is actively engaged in licensing a few telecom companies to blanket the Tahoe Region with radio frequency radiation emitting small and large cell towers, without any consideration or assessment of the risks to Tahoe’s unique environment, the increased fire hazard and the danger from increased and untested radio frequency radiation exposures to thousands of Tahoe’s residents, especially our most vulnerable communities — children, the elderly,

Help available for veterans to get COVID vaccine News release Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and their designated caregivers are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccinations from the Veterans Administration, the El Dorado County Veterans Affairs Commission reports. To qualify the veteran must live in a VA long-term care facility or currently receive care from the VA and be considered to be at high-risk (including over 75 years old). Family caregivers enrolled in the VA’s caregiver program or who work at a VA health care facility may also be vaccinated by the VA. Veterans and designated caregivers may request transportation to receive a vaccination at Sacramento Veterans Administration Medical Center Mather, under a program funded by the El Dorado County Veterans Affairs Commission, by contacting El Dorado Veterans Resources Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to noon, at (530) 621-5146. “Every veteran who has asked to be transported to a medical or legal appointment has been accommodated by this program, which is operated by El Dorado Veterans Resources volunteers and funded by county transient occupancy tax revenues,” said Veterans Affairs Commission Chairperson John Poimiroo. To schedule a COVID-19 vaccination or learn more about getting a vaccination from the VA, veterans and their designated caregivers should visit blogs.va.gov/ VAntage/84404/veterans-designated-caregivers-canget-covid-19-vaccine-va/.

notified that it was moved to the next round of the grant process in which the organization can provide additional documentation such as letters of support from municipal partners. The funding would offset the cost of the monument sign in Placerville and a countywide sign project that would place smaller versions of the monument sign at various microregions within the greater El Dorado American Viticulture Area. During her presentation at last week’s City Council meeting Boeger said, “There’s a poeticness to Placerville being in the heart of the AVA.” Public comment largely echoed those heard at the April 2019 meeting with proponents and detractors of the signage both speaking their peace. “Personally, I think this is a good location for something like this,” said Gordon Helm, president of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, “It’s obviously not a billboard … it’s aesthetically pleasing … it helps promote agriculture and agritourism, which is one of our fundamental economic drivers in this county.” “They want to do this because there is no billboard availability along Highway 50,” said Placerville resident Sue Rodman. “If the winery association puts up a sign, how are you going to prevent signs for other interest groups?” Kathy Lishman, also a Placerville resident, said she was surprised the sign proposal had been in the works without the public knowing about it and she was concerned the public wasn’t given ample opportunity to weigh in on the project. Camino resident Michelle Green said it would be a good idea to highlight the wineries and could be a good economic driver.

Other commenters against the proposal said the signage looked too modern and promoting the wine industry would bring gentrification. Proponents of the sign said it would help create further symbiosis with the burgeoning industry and add muchneeded beautification to that area of the highway. Mayor Dennis Thomas reiterated comments he had made at the April 2019 meeting, saying if others want to have a sign welcoming tourists to the region they need to raise the money to accomplish that goal and that EDWA is raising the money to do this, “that is how it’s done in this country and this town.” Vice Mayor Kara Taylor added, “Nobody else has asked to put a welldesigned, $300,000 sign in Placerville.” Rebecca Neves, city engineer, brought up landscaping plans for the site. “There’s a mitigation process that we go through because we don’t have, physically, the real estate to put the trees back where we took them out,” she said, referring to the clearing necessary for interchange construction planned in the area, “that will plant trees in the region on our behalf.” Council member Jackie Neau said she didn’t think the sign’s design was the right fit. “I’d like to see more opportunity for partnership with Placerville,” she said. Council member Michael Saragosa agreed that working with the architect to add more “Placerville” to the sign would be beneficial and made a motion to approve the letter and continue talks about the design. The item passed on a 5-0 vote and a letter of support will be signed for EDWA’s efforts to raise needed funds for the sign while city staff continues conversations about the actual design of the installation.

Forest officials to talk restoration of Fork Fire burn area USDA Forest Service News release Eldorado National Forest staff has begun public scoping for the Trident Forest Restoration Project in the northern portion of the Crystal Basin Recreation Area on the Pacific Ranger District. The Trident Project would address current and anticipated conditions resulting from the 2020 Fork Fire. The proposed action would treat roughly 644 acres to protect public safety, protect nearby public and private resources and restore a portion of the forested area burned in the Fork Fire. Proposed activities include commercial timber harvest (fire salvage), hazard tree removal, fuels treatments (including mastication, biomass removal and piling/burning fuels), conifer planting, herbicide application and transportation system management actions that include designating an existing temporary road as a national forest system road. The project was developed in part in response to lessons learned about the expense and difficulty of suppressing the Fork Fire where it intersected with the untreated accumulation of brush, down trees and standing snags from the 2014 King Fire. “The planning team is a dedicated group of professionals who care about the forest and protecting

Tower

the special place it is,” said Steve Hall, acting Pacific District Ranger. “The (Eldorado National Forest) is committed to the safety of our employees and visitors and this project will deal with these issues. We look forward to working with the public as we move ahead.” Due to the time-sensitive nature of the proposed fire salvage and hazard tree treatments, the Eldorado National Forest will apply for an Emergency Situation Determination from the Chief of the Forest Service which, if granted, would shorten the planning timeframe with the goal of starting the project activities in the late spring or early summer. This would allow the forest to capture the economic value of the salvaged timber to support the follow-up fuel reduction and reforestation actions that are being proposed. Project information, including the preliminary proposed action and the project scoping map, are available online at fs.usda.gov/projects/ eldorado/landmanagement/projects or fs.usda.gov/project/?project=58915. Because the public’s ideas are important in developing project activities, forest officials will host a virtual public meeting Feb. 25 from 4-5 p.m. to provide an overview of the proposed Trident Project, answer questions and listen to feedback. n

economic development.” TPC was unable to comment on an active case but legal counsel for TRPA said the agency, “understands the pressing concerns in the community about the health and environmental impacts of cell towers. Our role in cell tower permitting is to ensure the project complies with Lake Tahoe’s

environmental thresholds and zoning guidelines. “Federal regulators set the emission standards from cell towers and review the environmental impacts of those standards,” continues the statement. “The agency is not charged with implementing those federal regulations regarding communications equipment.”

said. “My favorite memories from childhood are packing a lunch and coming home nine hours later after playing all day with my friends.” Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog says playing outdoors is the most pure form of playing hockey. “We grew up playing on frozen lakes and to do it at the highest level is pretty special,” Landeskog said. They won’t quite be playing on a frozen lake, but they’ll be playing right next to North America’s largest alpine lake and maybe the most wellknown lake in the country. The rink is nearly finished and is situated on the 18th fairway at Edgewood Tahoe Resort, near the green, just a few steps from the shoreline. The game Saturday will likely be under mostly sunny skies after light snow Friday, according to the National Weather Service forecast. The high temperature is expected to be around 38. There may be some fresh snow surrounding the rink but little accumulation is expected at lake level. The game on Sunday will be under the sun with a high near 43.

Where to watch While Edgewood will host as many officials as possible, Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe will also provide lodging for players and their families.

The two casinos will also be the place for the public to come watch both games during the weekend since fans are not allowed inside Edgewood resort. Harveys and Harrah’s casino floors will feature multiple TV screens throughout each gaming area. Fans can warm up the night before the games at Harrah’s Friday’s Station Steak & Seafood with a Penalty Box Martini and during the games American River Café will feature a “Cross-Check” combo of chicken strips and a beer for $20. At Harveys, the Sage Room on the 19th floor will feature several specialty cocktails and TaCo Cantina and Restaurant will shake up its roster of drinks with some new choices and will also offer a hat trick food special, chicken or beef nachos, eight buffalo chicken wings and a bucket of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. The William Hill Race & Sports Book has wall-to-wall TVs that will feature the games. On both game days from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the casinos are hosting gaming promotions and will give away $250 in free play every 30 minutes from 3-5:30 p.m. At 6 p.m., two additional winners will be awarded $1,000 in cash. If winners are wearing an NHL jersey, prizes are doubled. Guests must be seated at a slot machine and actively playing to win.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to know that someone has your back and is willing and able to enter into the spirit of what you’re doing to some extent, however pleasant or unpleasant that may be. So you test, and quite expertly! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The Spanish tradition of relaxing at the table after a heavy meal and talking for an hour or so is called sobremesa, or “over the table.” Your day offers a similar opportunity to bond and share information. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Various lessons will be imparted, some seemingly more useful than others. Take note, regardless, to accommodate unforeseeable applications that will surely arise in the far-flung future. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just when you think you know where everything belongs, there’s a country cat on a crosswalk; in the window of a high-rise, the silhouette of a mouse, or, in today’s case, the non-animal equivalent of these things. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though it might be convenient to be better and more widely understood, you’re not willing to trade validation for your right to complexity. So those enigmatic parts of you remain, mysterious to all, even to yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When it’s your game, you’re allowed to write rules, name the prizes and dole out the hints, too. Consider also that the most popular and enjoyable games tend to, once established, stay consistent within their own limitations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The innocence you once had will not return. In its place is a custom-made sword and shield, which you will use to defend the innocence of others, as you understand its preciousness more than anyone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll get the sneaking suspicion that someone is trying to live vicariously through you. It’s not a terrible dynamic, as you are loved, tended to and supported, though sometimes held with too firm a grip. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In a tweet of hope, author Anand Giridharadas writes, “We are falling on our face because we are jumping high.” You’ve recently fallen, and it was for a good cause. Today’s risk will be more temperate and graceful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Each emotion has its preferred animation style. Joy jumps. Melancholy settles. Jealousy creeps. Today, you may have feelings you can’t name, but track their movement and later it will come to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many who seek attention are also looking for validation. You don’t need that. You need people who want what you can offer. You focus not on showing off but on showing enough so that you can find your right audience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just being where the conversation goes down is an initiation of sorts. All who witness are influenced and all who weren’t there are outsiders on the matter. It’s why you make an effort to be involved.

Selfless sister

disease-free all these years. “The doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to have kids but she ended up with three,” laughed Theresa, “so she’s doing really well.” Anna now lives in Sacramento and her children are also doing well as one recently graduated from college and one just finished serving in the Marines and is studying at Cornell University. Theresa, who today lives in Folsom and is part of the Mountain Democrat’s design team, said she was never reluctant to donate her bone marrow. “I was so scared for my sister because I knew it was a fatal disease unless she could get a transplant so I was really excited to help out.”

I had a spare More recently Theresa was again called upon to be the “part’s car of the family” when it became clear that her brother John Magsamen, 56, needed a kidney transplant. “She saved my life,” said John, who lives in Santa Rosa and is a retired IT director for the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office. With his kidneys declining and only functioning at 2%, he knew he’d either have to go on dialysis or have a transplant. “My kidneys started declining about 10 years ago but I’ve had diabetes for 45 years,” he said. “I knew she would be a decent candidate because she had donated bone marrow for my sister and it was more a matter if she was willing to do it. But I didn’t pressure her about it.” Theresa didn’t hesitate about giving up a kidney. “I had a spare,” she joked. “My brother was always open and honest about his disease and we knew for years that at some point he would need a kidney transplant and I just

thought I would do it.” Doctors told her kidneys don’t function at full capacity and people can get along with just one; the remaining one just gets a little bigger over time. Choosing to have the procedure done at the University of California, San Francisco because of its reputation, John said its success rate with a live donor and a good match between donor and recipient is 98-99%. In cases where the kidney comes from a deceased donor, the success rate is 85-88%. In John’s case, he couldn’t have found a better donor than Theresa. “She was a really really good match and actually better than a lot of identical twins,” he said. “We were almost a perfect match.” Finding out they were a perfect match, however, entailed a lengthy screening process that included physicals, blood work, EKGs, MRI’s and Theresa meeting with a psychiatrist and social worker before the surgery could be scheduled. Finally ready for surgery, it all had to be put on hold when COVID-19 struck and UCSF halted transplants. It had to be put on hold again when UCSF doctors insisted John first have a stent put in his heart. Once that was done the transplant was scheduled for Jan. 29. Theresa said she was in surgery for three hours and her brother for four. Both were in the hospital for three days before being released. “The new kidney kicked in immediately,” said John, who added that he’s feeling better and eating better. “I’m really grateful to Theresa. She made the quality of my life so much better.” John still has to take a variety of medications, some of which he will have to take for the rest of his life. But

FLUX Youth Arts offers creative

IN THE

KNOW Stellar students Congratulations to Andrew Bellas of El Dorado Hills, who was named to the Miami University fall 202021 President’s List. Miami University students who are ranked in the top 3% of undergraduate students within each division for first semester 2020-21 have been named to the president’s list recognizing academic excellence. Bellas is majoring in chemistry.

outlet for teens Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer

ecognizing shifts in educational paradigms due to distance learning made necessary by the pandemic and seeing a need for teens who have experienced so much adversity in the last year to channel their experiences and stories in creative ways, Arts and Culture El Dorado program coordinator Marya Osucha conceived the idea of a virtual art exhibition for El Dorado County youth. “I wanted to open up space for area youth to share their stories,” said Osucha. “Art, in all its forms, is always telling a story and their perspective on the unprecedented events of the past year must be incredibly unique.” FLUX Youth Arts was created as a youth-directed virtual art exhibition. Pairing area artists with the participants added an opportunity for teens involved to be introduced to new approaches to artistic mediums and allowed free access to new, creative tools. The free program also gives teaching artists an avenue to use their expertise to help tell these poignant stories. Pre-recorded virtual workshops were added to the program in order to provide direct access to tools.

Congratulations to Hannah Patrignani of Cameron Park, who has been recognized for achieving academic distinction at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Patrignani, majoring in political science, was named to the UMass Lowell Dean’s List for the fall 2020 semester. Congratulations to Andrew Madigan of El Dorado Hills, who has been named to the fall 2020 Florida Institute of Technology Dean’s List. To be included on the dean’s list, a student must complete 12 or more graded credits in a semester with a semester grade point average of at least 3.4. Congratulations to Gursimranjit Singh of Cameron Park, who made the Rochester Institute of Technology Dean’s List for the 2020 fall semester. Singh is in the architectural and civil drafting technology program. Undergraduate students are eligible for dean’s list if their GPA is greater than or equal to 3.40 for nine credit hours of traditionally graded coursework.

Osucha and co-coordinator Tiffany Van Camp met with teaching artists who would create these tools and found that many of them really wanted to work directly with the students through virtual introductory meetings and offer creative support throughout the participants’ processes. Students will meet with teaching artists in virtual settings to discuss their mediums, the students’ stories and to generally get to know each another. Later virtual meetings will offer support to the teens as they create their distinctive works. The ultimate goal of the program is to amplify youth voices and create a platform for their stories to be widely seen and understood. The hope is not only to share these works with their contemporaries but that people of all ages will experience these stories. “It may be urgent that older generations should hear these stories,” said Osucha. An ancillary goal that this program aims to fulfill is to create access to arts education that students might not be able to acquire during these extraordinary times and to expose participants to the unique approaches of the partnering teaching artists. FLUX Youth Arts will begin in early March with the virtual exhibition planned for May 2021.

Oregon artist wins Upland Game Bird Stamp contest California Department of Fish and Wildlife News release

painting of mourning doves has been chosen by a panel of judges as the winning entry in the 2020-21 California Upland Game Bird Stamp Art Contest. The painting was created by Buck Spencer of Junction City, Ore. Sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the annual contest determined the official design for this year’s California Upland Game Bird Stamp. Contest entries were judged recently by a panel of experts selected for their knowledge in the fields of ornithology, conservation, art and printing. Designs were judged on originality,

This colorfuld, lifelike painting of mourning doves earned the judges’ votes in the California Upland Game Bird Stamp Art Contest artistic composition, anatomical accuracy and suitability for reproduction as a stamp and print.

The judges praised the color, detail and accuracy of the painting, specifically noting the highlights and shading

on the doves as if illuminated by the late afternoon sun. They also appreciated the choice of background,

which reminded them of agricultural areas in California where doves are commonly seen, and the uniqueness of the layout. They commended Spencer’s “creative way to add background birds with morphological characteristics of dove in flight.” The addition of background birds was something Spencer had not initially planned. “At first, I was going to paint two or three doves lined up together,” he said, “but I decided one bird would fit better. I still wanted more doves in the painting, so I decided to paint a few flying in the background.” While preparing for his painting, he said he found it ■

he Sacramento Historical Society presents a discussion of “When We Were Colored, A Mother’s Story,” 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb 23, online program on Zoom. What is it like to be the first Black family in an all-white neighborhood or the only little Black girl in your third-grade class? What happens when your husband enters a restaurant with his white colleagues and the waitress says, “I can’t serve you.” And what do you do when your daughter calls you an Uncle Tom? The late Eva Rutland’s memoir traces the journey of a well-educated, middle-class Black woman born and raised in the segregated South, who moves to California after the Second World War with her husband and four young children. It is an inside story of the African American Diaspora, told by an ordinary mother living through extraordinary times in America. Originally published in 1963 under the title “The Trouble With Being a Mama,” Rutland’s memoir was republished in 2007 by her daughter Ginger

Rutland, who added family photographs dating from the late 1800s to today and moved the story into the 21st century. Her presentation takes the Rutland family from the Jim Crow South, through World War II, the Civil Rights era and Black power movement to the racially blended families of today. This is not the usual Black narrative about poverty, discrimination, violence and family dysfunction. It is the story of middle class Blacks who suffered discrimination but survived and even thrived, a wide swath of middle-class Black America, whose stories seldom appear in the popular media. “When We Were Colored, A Mother’s Story” has been used as a supplemental text at Kennedy High School in Sacramento and at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

During the past year museums around the nation have been engaged in critical examinations about how they have addressed issues of race in collections, exhibitions and programing. Those issues will be the topic of this year’s Templeton Colloquium on Art History, titled Race, Museums, Art History, presented by the UC Davis Department of Art and Art History Feb. 19. The free event takes place online and will feature presentations by Bridget Cooks, an associate professor in the UC Irvine departments of African American studies and art history and author of “Exhibiting

Blackness: African Americans and the American Art Museum”; and Susan Mullin Vogel, a scholar, writer and filmmaker who specializes in African art and author of “El Anatsui: Art and Life” and co-author of “Exhibitionism: Museums and African Art.” Michael Yonan, who holds the recently created Alan Templeton Endowed Chair in Art History at UC Davis, will moderate the event. This is the 10th anniversary of the colloquium, made possible by Alan Templeton (bachelor’s degree, psychology and art history, ’82). It is co-sponsored by the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. Register at ucdavis.zoom.us/webinar/ register/WN__YZkpOB2RQSOdkmsuB_Ag.

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.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 086824-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 086824-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.
