[Jesse Petrilla, former Rancho Santa Margarita Councilman & small business owner]

Nearly half a year into the new administration, the conversation around tax reform is picking up steam. Having just filed taxes, I’m reminded of how archaic and difficult the process is and I recognize there is no time like the present for much needed reform. As a small business owner, I have to physically write a check to pay my taxes, it’s not deducted automatically from a paycheck. Not only that, I have to pay quarterly. So each time I write that check it is a constant reminder of how high taxes are and just how strong the need for reform is. If everyone had to pay taxes that way, I can guarantee you this issue would be more in the forefront.

With Republicans holding the presidency and both houses of Congress, it has created a political and legislative environment that should allow policymakers to reach consensus and move the needle forward on a number of important issues, including tax reform.

Our tax code is outdated. The American people have endured years of legislative band-aids that do nothing to address the core problem. Because of this, our thirty-year old tax code has become a cumbersome law that inhibits economic growth for large and small businesses alike.

Short-term fixes just delay the inevitable overhaul. We can no longer continue to limp along using an outdated tax code.

California is home to nearly four million small businesses. They represent 99.2% of all employers in the state and employ 50.4% of the private-sector labor force. Small businesses are an integral part to our community. Yet, and I can attest, small businesses are at a distinct disadvantage under the antiquated tax code.  They are forced to operate under a system where they spend precious hours and financial resources complying with the code instead of investing and growing their businesses.

We’ve had some tough economic times in the past few years, but small business in the Southern California region has survived. Now it’s up to Washington’s policymakers to support the hardworking taxpayers and small businesses that are driving growth and economic opportunity.

Constituents, the media and legislators have acknowledged this is an issue that needs to be addressed next by Congress. However, disagreements and divisions should not derail good public policy reform that has the potential to bring jobs, dollars and changes needed to make America competitive again.

You have all heard the joke about the definition of insanity.  Doing something over and over and expecting a different outcome.  Welcome to El Dorado County.  We are getting ready for budget hearings and finding out very quickly that for this county to stay solvent they are going to raise taxes or cut services.  Does that sound familiar?  Is there another way?  Yes!!!  

It is at least appropriate to get bids from private providers to see if a savings is really possible.  Let’s think about several of the services paid for by the county.  Some of these may already be run by the private sector, but humor me.

1.  Food preparation for county recipients.
2.  Privatization of the Planning Department
3.  Privatization of the Library
4.  Privatization of Vector Control
5.  Contract for Cemetery Administration

Just click on the www.edcgov.us/Government/Departments.aspx and let you imagination go.  The county management team should figure out which of these departments could better serve the public if it were managed by private industry.  Remember, there are cities in our country that are totally run by the private sector http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8qFvo2qJOU .

Every line item in the El Dorado County budget should have a bid number for outsourcing the service to a private provider so that we can know what we are missing…  What do you think?  Will we just put up with RAISING TAXES???...

Authorities need help identifying a man who stole a ring from a woman in El Dorado County.

The man met up with a woman who wanted to sell the ring and pretended to withdraw money from an ATM. He then snatched the ring and ran away.

When the two met up he provided a fake California ID and name. He also told the woman he was in the military and wanted to propose to his girlfriend.

If you recognize this suspect contact the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office at 530-621-6600.

[California County News]

Marijuana Gardens could soon be giving the Beer Garden a run for its money at the local county fair.

A bill approved Thursday that sought to reconcile exiting medical marijuana laws with newly-passed Proposition 64 has opened the door to sales and consumption of pot at the fair, according to the Sacramento Bee.

 Maybe.

Tucked inside the language of the pot bill is a clause that would legalize weed festivals.

County fairs or district agricultural associations, which operate most fairgrounds throughout the state, would be able to apply for special permits to sell weed to visitors. But at least right now, it’s unclear whether you’ll be able to enjoy a joint and a corn dog at any old local fair…

Regulations are expected to further clarify the rules and define what “premises” mean after legislators vote on the bill. If they prohibit alcohol and marijuana sales from happening on the same property, it seems unlikely that the powers running local fairs would choose to sell weed over booze.

Critics have called this aspect of the bill “deplorable.” 

Even though it would be limited to people 21 and over and not visible to the general public, it sends a signal to children that marijuana use is normal, said Brook Lowe of Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana (CALM).

[JUDAH ROSEN. Img: Elliot Cohen (left) with his siblings, Debbie and Neil, in the 1970s (Courtesy/Neil Cohen)]

When I moved to Placerville several years ago, I became involved with the homeless community. Once a month I planned a lunch, shopping, cooking and delivering it to various locations, as part of the FAITH program. In the winter, when churches provided overnight shelters, I volunteered for the graveyard shift once a week.

That’s how I met Elliot, one of the homeless men. He was a pleasant and friendly guy, although very picky with his food, and he would look at what I was offering that day for lunch before accepting it. He much preferred a cash donation so he could buy his own meal at McDonald’s. I didn’t find out he was Jewish until a year after I met him, when I learned that his name was Elliot Cohen.

When I found out he was Jewish, I tried to reach out in a more personal and meaningful way. He had no interest in religion, although he was proud to be a Jew, and he had been to Israel. A very private person, he was not forthcoming with information, but I found out where he was born and raised, and where he had lived. I surreptitiously took a photo of Elliot, and with the help of Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum from Chabad in Folsom, I wrote to Jewish communities on Long Island, hoping to find his family. I was not successful. When Elliot died in April at age 57, a sheriff’s department was able to locate and notify his family.

Elliot Cohen

After his death, his brother shared some of Elliot’s story. Originally from the Bronx, Elliot grew up on Long Island, enjoyed a pretty normal childhood, had one brother and one sister, both younger. He got good grades in school, but instead of attending college he joined the Navy. He was trained to work on a nuclear submarine, but after two years he was discharged and his journey into mental illness began. Over the years he traveled to Israel, Las Vegas and California, slowly losing contact with his family. The last time he had contact with them was nine years ago, when he phoned his mother.

Elliot was a solitary individual. He had his spot downtown where he could be found rain or shine, shirtless in the summer, listening to his music on his earphones. After getting kicked out of the park, where he would sleep, he would sneak back in and sleep on the floor of the bathroom, preferring the women’s to the men’s as it was cleaner. He also slept behind stores, in the area set aside for trash.

At the memorial service, I heard people speak of his demons. I don’t know whether or not Elliot had demons, but I do know he appeared happy and content. But living on the streets is not an easy life. A friend told me that last winter he asked to sit in her car for a bit, as he was so cold. His autopsy determined that he died from heart disease, which took his father at about the same age.

Homelessness is a challenge everywhere, but Placerville may be a more hostile environment. This past year, there was a motion before the City Council to make Placerville a non-welcoming community for immigrants.

The Placerville government did not want the homeless in town. The police harassed them on the street, and were known to transport them to Folsom. When I first moved there, many camped in a city park; the city ended that. An individual donated land and opened Hangtown Haven, a wonderful place with sites for camping, portable potties and showers. We could even deliver meals there. The city closed it down.

When I learned that Elliot had been found dead on the sidewalk in his sleeping bag, I notified Rabbi Grossbaum, who arranged a Jewish burial in Folsom. The rabbi posted a fundraiser on Facebook to cover the $2,000 necessary, and I was blown away by the response: Fifty-six people donated well over that amount in just three days. These were not people who knew Elliot; they were Jews from around the country and the world who stepped up so that a Jew, any Jew, could have an appropriate burial. Thirty people attended Elliot’s burial, including Jews from Sacramento who wanted to make sure there was a minyan.

The Federated Church in Placerville put on a moving memorial service for Elliot the following Saturday, which his brother from New York attended. It was standing room only at the church, with several hundred attending. People shared their remembrances, and an honor guard gave his brother a folded flag, as Elliot was a veteran.

I am writing this in honor of Elliot, and also to remind everyone: When we see a homeless person on the street, we don’t know their circumstances, or what led them there. But we should all remember: They are all sons or daughters, or parents, siblings or friends. It is not for us to judge them. But hopefully we can treat them with kindness, respect, compassion and generosity, as befits all of God’s children.

Zichrono l’vracha — may his memory be for a blessing.

[El Dorado County Visitors Authority]

For mountain bikers in the know, El Dorado County is a hidden gem. Miles of singletrack throughout the region means adventure, fun, and fantastic views for newbie and expert riders alike.

We’ve compiled a variety of mountain bike trails to suit all tastes. For additional information (including more detailed directions, maps, and more), visit our mountain biking page.

Foothill mountain bike trails

Dirt junkies can explore a variety of trails at the lower elevations ranging from pristine singletrack to beginner-friendly double track. Best of all, many of these trails are rideable year-round.

Cronan Ranch Trail System – Mountain bikers of all abilities can enjoy the 12+ miles of single and double track trails with outstanding views of the South Fork American River. It’s also one of the few trails that where you’ll find a movie set!  Park at Pilot Hill and Hwy 49 entrance.

Salmon Falls – This trail delivers 8.5 miles of scenic lakeside singletrack to the Peninsula Campground. Ride it as an out and back for additional mileage. Intermediate biking skills make the ride more enjoyable. Park at Salmon Falls Bridge lot.

Foresthill Divide Loop – A 13-mile loop along the ridges of the Foresthill/Auburn Divide features stunning views of both the Middle Fork American River Canyon and the North Fork American River Canyon. Bonus: it’s good for all abilities. Park at the trailhead (on the right) on Foresthill Road, approximately 6 miles past the Foresthill Bridge.

Fleming Meadow Loop – Located across from Jenkinson Lake, this 6.5-mile loop trail of mostly singletrack is full of flowy banked turns, along with a moderate uphill climb that’s well worth the downhill. It’s best for intermediate to advanced riders. Park off Mormon Emigrant Trail in Sly Park.

South Lake Tahoe’s Christmas Valley Trail is a fun and flowy mountain bike descent.

Lake Tahoe mountain bike trails

Tahoe’s become quite the mountain biking mecca in past years, and continued trail building all around the lake is only helping solidify that claim. You don’t have to be an expert rider to enjoy the trails around here, either.

Corral Loop/Sidewinder – This South Lake Tahoe network of trails run parallel to the Fountain Place paved road, which means you can shuttle them by car. Upper and lower Corral trails boast various features including rocks, log rides, jumps, and rock rolls (along with ride arounds), while Sidewinder and Incense Cedar are smooth, flowy trails perfect for beginners and less aggressive riders. Park at the lower Corral parking lot off Fountain Place Road in Meyers.

Powerlines Trail– Intermediate riders and beginner riders not afraid of short climbs will enjoy the smooth rolling single track that takes you from near Heavenly along a forested trail above the neighborhoods of South Lake Tahoe. Explore the trail pullouts for views of the lake. Park at the top of High Meadow Road in South Lake Tahoe

Christmas Valley Trail – This is a moderately technical 7+ mile round trip trail that links part of the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) with rocky terrain that includes both a technically demanding climb and descent.  Adventuring types can explore such scenic alpine lakes as Scott’s, Dardanelle’s, and Round Lake. Park at the southern end of South Upper Truckee Road before it climbs up to Hwy 89/Luther Pass.

For up to date trail information, mountain bike trail maps, events, and more be sure to visit the Folsom Area Mountain Bike Association and the Tahoe Area Mountain Bike Association.

[CHRISS W. STREET, Oroville Lake and Dam (Breitbart News)Joel Pollak / Breitbart News]
 
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) is leading an effort to end environmentalists’ ability to delay the building of dams and reservoirs on federal land by fast-tracking control of the permitting process, placing power in the hands of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

McClintock is the lead sponsor of H.R. 1654 — “The Water Supply Permitting Coordination Act” — that would establish the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as the lead agency for the purposes of coordinating all reviews, analyses, opinions, statements, permits, licenses, or other approvals or decisions required under federal law for new construction or expansions of dams, and above-ground water storage on federal land.

The Act would require the Bureau, “as early as practicable upon receipt of an application for a qualifying project,” to notify any federal agency that might claim some type of regulatory jurisdiction over approval or construction of a water project that the agency “has been designated as a cooperating agency in regards to the qualifying project.”

The contacted agency then must provide “timeframes” to complete review of the project or state in writing that it has no jurisdiction or authority regarding the qualifying project; has no expertise or information relevant to the regarding the project; or does not intend to submit comments, conduct any review, or make any decision other than in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation.

McClintock represents rural and mountain communities on the eastern edge of the Central Valley that have been frustrated by the inability to complete congressionally approved federal water projects due to sophisticated administrative delaying tactics that have been perfected by California’s well funded environmentalist lobby.

Water districts across the western states, especially California, have faced what McClintock calls a “Byzantine maze of regulations and a phalanx of competing, overlapping, duplicative and often contradictory federal agencies.”

In a speech in April, McClintock noted that environmentalists have frustrated water districts projects by requiring years to satisfy the regulatory requirements of one federal agency, only to have “another suddenly pops up to claim jurisdiction with an entirely new set of demands in an often endless permitting process despite the fact they are studying the same project, in the same location with the same data.”

But the near-failure of the Oroville Dam spillway has created bipartisan backing for H.R. 1654 in the powerful House Natural Resources Committee from House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Jim Costa, (D-CA).

THE TALE OF THE MYSTERY SIGN

Some of you who go down Bucks Bar Road most likely have noticed the dwelling that's been being remodeled for the past few years. My husband purchased this property over 35 years ago and remodeled it back then and opened up a bar/saloon where he had live music on weekends. It's a 2 1/2 acre parcel with the front acre zoned as commercial. He had the bar open for a couple of years and then some other businesses were in there for short times and then it was used as a residence. Back when my husband opened the bar he had a sign made that said Bucks Bar, not only for the street name but for the history of how it came to be named Bucks Bar.

Bucks Bar referred to a specific gravel bar in the north fork of the Consumnes river east of Diamond Springs which allowed for a relatively easy river crossing to and from Somerset, FairPlay, Mt Aukum, Uno and other towns in the Southern part of El Dorado county. The original mining community of Bucks Bar was located upstream of today's bridge. Although in time, most of the businesses moved to the main road. Bucks Bar was named by some gold seekers who stumbled upon a group of male Indians (often referred to by the miners as Bucks) working the gravel bar for gold, which was generally considered worthless by the Indians, but turned out to be very valuable to the immigrant farmers. The location in this canyon was chosen because it was remote and chances of being discovered were slim. Plus it was rich in fish and acorns, which were staples in Indians diet.

Once the immigrant farmers discovered this route was some 2 hours shorter and safer than the one they were using, most of the traffic moved to it. And because of that fact and that there was gold, the Indians were eventually driven out.

There's quite a bit more regarding the history of Bucks Bar but just wanted to share regarding how the name came about and why he chose an Indian buck for the sign he had made.

And now back to the reason I'm posting this. The sign my husband had made was double sided, carved from heart redwood and I've attached a photo of it below. At some point it was stolen and we have reason to believe it is still around as some time back a realtor who was selling a home in Showcase Ranch posted photos of the home for sale showing inside and out, and in one photo was our sign hanging on their wall inside the residence . Since we soon will be putting this property on the market, my husband would very much like to see the sign be returned to its original home. A reward would be given for the return of this sign and no questions asked. My husband is aware of who originally stole the sign and the person he sold it to. Both of those individuals are now deceased. Then the person who ended up with it after that, is also deceased. After that the only lead was when it showed in the home for sale in Showcase Ranch. So this sign may not be very good luck for anyone who has it in their possession. If anyone could just help us locate it, or any leads regarding the sign would be greatly appreciated.

You can call or text me at 530-906-9690 or my husband Ted at 530-320-7981. My husband has put in many long hours trying to bring this dwelling back to its original glory. I would love to have the sign he had made many years ago, be back where it belongs, in its original home! Thanks for listening.

As spring and summer beckon people outdoors, California’s black bears are also active after a long winter hibernation. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) takes this opportunity to highlight the native black bear – one of most adaptable animals in the state – and encourages citizens to help reduce nuisance encounters with this iconic mammal by being “bear aware,” which means taking responsible actions that promote responsible behavior while living and recreating in bear country.

As spring and summer beckon people outdoors, California’s black bears are also active after a long winter hibernation. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) takes this opportunity to highlight the native black bear – one of most adaptable animals in the state – and encourages citizens to help reduce nuisance encounters with this iconic mammal by being “bear aware,” which means taking responsible actions that promote responsible behavior while living and recreating in bear country.

California has a healthy population of black bears that typically prefer remote mountainous areas. But as more people frequent parks and wilderness areas and choose to live in or near bear habitat, bears become more accustomed to the presence of people and as a result display less shy and elusive behavior.

“Over the years, we have seen bear behavior patterns change significantly”, said Marc Kenyon, manager of CDFW’s human/wildlife conflict program. “Each spring and summer we receive hundreds of calls from the public reporting anything from bears raiding food in campgrounds to bears taking dips in residential swimming pools. Bears have also been known to break into homes and cabins and steal food right off of the kitchen counter – sometimes while the occupants are home.”

Kenyon notes that bears have a highly specialized sense of smell. According to Kenyon, a bear can smell bacon frying from about three miles away, given the right conditions. An animal that is specialized at finding food sources coupled with greater numbers of people at its doorstep, can create a storm of human/wildlife conflicts. However, nuisance-bear behavior may be significantly reduced – or even eliminated, if people change their behavior.

Tips for Bear-proofing your Home, Rental or Timeshare:

In settled areas close to bear habitat, bears may venture in searching for food. The best defense against bear break-ins and bears in your yard is to eliminate attractants to your property by following these tips: 

• Purchase and properly use a bear-proof garbage container.
• Wait to put trash out until the morning of collection day.
• Do not leave trash, groceries or pet food in your car.
• Keep garbage cans clean and deodorize them with bleach or ammonia.
• Keep barbecue grills clean and stored in a garage or shed when not in use.
• Only provide bird feeders during November through March and make them inaccessible to bears.
• Do not leave any scented products outside, even non-food items such as suntan lotion, insect repellent, soap or candles.
• Keep doors and windows closed and locked.
• Consider installing motion-detector alarms and/or electric fencing.
• Harvest fruit off trees as soon as it is ripe, and promptly collect fruit that falls.
• Bring pets in at night. Provide safe and secure quarters for livestock at night.
• Consider composting bins as opposed to open composting.
• Securely block access to potential hibernation sites such as crawl spaces under decks and buildings.
• Do not spray bear spray around property – when it dries, it can serve as an attractant.
• Do not feed deer or other wildlife – not only can it be unlawful, it will attract bears to your property.

Tips for Bear-proofing your Campsite:

Maintaining a clean campsite is the responsible and safe thing to do when visiting bear country. Here are a few tips for bear proofing your campsite: 

• Haul garbage out of camp regularly – check with camp host or other camp personnel about safe garbage storage. Use bear lockers if available.
• Store food (including pet food) and toiletries in bear-proof containers or in an airtight container in the trunk of your vehicle if bear lockers are not available. In some areas, food storage in the trunk is not advisable. Check with camp or park personnel.
• Clean dishes and store food and garbage immediately after meals.
• Clean your grill after each use.
• Never keep food or toiletries in your tent.
• Change out of clothes you cooked in before going to bed.
• Do not clean fish in camp.
• Do not leave pets unattended in camp or sleeping outside.

Tips for Hiking in Bear Country:

• Bears may react defensively if your presence is not known – make noise while hiking. Talk loudly or whistle.
• If possible, travel with a group of people.
• Avoid thick brush and walk with the wind at your back so your scent is ahead of you.
• Watch for bear sign along trails – scat, tracks and stripped bark off trees.
• Avoid sites where dead animal carcasses are observed.
• If you see a bear, avoid it and give it the opportunity to avoid you.
• Leash dogs while hiking in bear country – dogs can surprise and aggravate bears – bringing the bear back to you when the dog flees from the bear.

Facts about Black Bears: 

• Black bears are the only bear species found in California. They range in color from blonde to black, with cinnamon brown being the most common.
• There are an estimated 35,000 bears in California.
• Males are much larger than females and can weigh up to 500 pounds, although average weight is about 300 pounds.
• Black bears can sprint up to 35 mph and they are strong swimmers and great tree climbers.
• Bears are omnivorous eating foods ranging from berries, plants, nuts and roots to honey, honeycomb, insects, larvae, carrion and small mammals.
• Bears typically mate in June and July.
• As winter approaches, bears will forage for food up to 20 hours a day, storing enough fat to sustain them through hibernation. Bears often hibernate in large hollow trees 40 to 60 feet off the ground.
• Bear cubs are born in winter dens in January and February and are hairless, deaf and blind.
• Black bear attacks are rare in California and typically are defensive in nature because the bear is surprised or defending cubs; however, bears accustomed to people may become too bold and act aggressively.
• Female black bears will often send cubs up a tree and leave the area in response to a perceived threat. Do not remain in the area – when you leave, she will come back for her cubs.

[DIANA PEARL, PEOPLE]

When she was 11 years old, in 1991, Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped while walking to a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California...

CLEVELAND KIDNAPPING SURVIVORS

Between August 2002 and April 2004, three young women — Amanda Berry, then 17, Michelle Knight (who has since changed her name to Lily Rose Lee), then 21 and Gina DeJesus, then 14 — went missing in Cleveland. 

They were kidnapped by Ariel Castro, who kept them captive in his Cleveland house for ten years. All three women were raped and abused throughout their captivity, which lasted nearly a decade. Berry gave birth to a daughter, and Lee said she was impregnated five times, but miscarried each one after being beaten by Castro.

In 2013, Berry escaped after getting a neighbor's attention, and called the police, who came to the house and found Lee and DeJesus. Castro was later sentenced to 1,000 years in prison, and committed suicide within the first month by hanging himself in his prison cell.

Today, all three are reunited with their families. Lee wrote a book, and is publishing another next year. Berry advocates for finding missing people and hosts a daily news segment on Cleveland's Fox 8. "I hope we get [the faces of] missing people out there and get people looking at them a second time, a third time, and looking at their name," Berry told PEOPLE. "It’s kind of the small things that makes a big difference."

COLLEEN STAN, 'THE GIRL IN A BOX'

In 1977, 20-year-old Stan was traveling from her home in Eugene, Oregon, to northern California to attend a birthday party. Her mode of transport was hitchhiking, and she turned down two rides before getting in the car with 23-year-old Cameron Hooker, his wife, Janice, and their baby.

Within hours, Hooker put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. He bound her, gagged her and placed a homemade wooden box over her head.

Stan was locked in a coffin-like box for 23 hours a day underneath the couple's bed for seven years. She was removed from the box only to be repeatedly raped and tortured.

Stan was told that a group called "the Company" would kill her if she escaped, and she was made to sign a slave contract. It was fear of the "the Company" that kept her from seeking help, even when Hooker allowed her to visit her family at one point during her captivity.

In 1983, Stan was allowed to leave the house, getting a job as a motel maid, eventually calling Hooker to tell him she was leaving and going home.

He was sentenced to 104 years in prison, where he remains today. Stan recently spoke out about her time in captivity, saying she has lived a happy life since. "Your life is just kinda in limbo when you’re in captivity, and once you get that freedom back and you have that choice again, it’s just like the gates open,” she said. “And you just run for it.”

KATIE BEERS

Two days before her tenth birthday, Katie Beers was kidnapped from a Long Island, New York, arcade by John Esposito, a family friend.

Esposito held Beers in a tiny underground bunker for 16 days. After Esposito, who had a friendly relationship with Beers prior to the kidnapping, was questioned, he eventually confessed and led police to the bunker.

In 2013, more than 20 years later, Beers publicly addressed the kidnapping for the first time in a memoir, Buried Memories. She said she had been abused in her past by her godmother and her husband, Linda and Sal Inghilleri, who kept the child from school and treated her as their servant in their squalid hovel of a home. Sal Inghilleri also raped Katie.

After she was found, she was placed with a foster family -- Beers now says she "owes them my life." Of her ordeal, she says: “You never fully recover. It’s with me every day, but it’s something I’ve learned to cope with.”

ELIZABETH SMART

While 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was in bed at her Salt Lake City home on June 4, 2002, Brian David Mitchell broke in and abducted her. She would be held in captivity for nine months and raped repeatedly.

Elizabeth shared the bedroom with her sister, Mary Katherine Smart: She witnessed the abduction and pretended to be asleep but woke her parents up later when she felt it was safe to do so.

In October of that same year, Mary Katherine, who had thought the voice of her sister's abductor sounded familiar, realized where she had heard it before: It was the voice of Mitchell, who had called himself "Emmanuel" and had been hired by the Smarts to help out around their house. 

Mitchell and Smart were eventually found in Sandy, Utah. Mitchell was convicted on kidnapping charges and sentenced to life in prison in 2010. His wife, Wanda Barzee, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in the kidnapping. 

In the years since the ordeal, Smart, now 29, has reclaimed her life as an inspirational speaker, author and advocate. She is the mother of two children.

Tennessee 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas was allegedly abducted by her teacher Tad Cummins in March of 2017, and for several weeks, the pair was the subject of an ongoing AMBER Alert.

Authorities have said that Cummins allegedly “groomed” Elizabeth and earned her trust prior to the alleged abduction.

Her father, Anthony Thomas, told PEOPLE that Elizabeth grew "dependant" on Cummins. In addition to homework help, Anthony said Cummins “[gave] her money, bought a microwave so she would heat food up in his room [and] try and get her out of trouble.”

In late April, the pair was discovered in a remote California cabin after a tipster became suspicious and alerted authorities. 

ALICIA KOZAKIEWICZ

In 2001, 13-year-old Kozakiewicz was a frequent user of internet chat rooms. In one, she met someone who she assumed was a boy her age who shared her interests.

After talking online for eight to nine months, Kozakiewicz met him on the streets near her home -- and discovered her online friend was actually a 38-year-old named Scott Tyree. Tyree brought Kozakiewicz to his home in Virginia and held her in captivity for four days, raping and beating her and chaining her to the floor by a dog collar.

On the fourth day of her captivity, Kozakiewicz was convinced Tyree would kill her. But when he left for work, she was found by FBI agents. "They set me free," she says of the agents. "They gave me a second chance at life.” 

Today, she works to educate people on the dangers of the internet.

JAYCEE DUGARD

When she was 11 years old, in 1991, Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped while walking to a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was shocked with a stun gun and forced into a car by Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy, who held her captive for 18 years. 

During that time, she was handcuffed, locked in rooms and forced to "dress up" for Garrido, a self-styled evangelist to whom she bore two daughters. 

In 2009, Garrido took Dugard's two daughters to a police office at the University of California, Berkeley, asking permission to distribute religious flyers. After observing odd behavior from both Garrido and the girls, campus police ran a background check and learned he was a registered sex offender. 

His parole officer also discovered the two girls and young woman with Garrido were Duggard and her two children.

Soon after, Garrido was arrested and Dugard and her daughters were reunited with her family. She's written two books about her past. 

“When I look in the mirror now, I don’t see the ugly broken child I was and who Phillip tried his best to create because he thought that was beautiful," she says. "No, I don’t see her. I just simply see the beauty in me."

This Saturday marks the ten-year anniversary of a devastating fire that swept through South Lake Tahoe, destroying more than 250 homes.

In June 2007, while the fire was still burning, Capital Public Radio spoke with Joe Puleri at a shelter for evacuees.

He told us he only had five minutes to get out of his home, along with his two sons.

"Got the kids out, the kids are safe, the house is gone and everything we own is gone," Puleri said then.

Ten years later, Puleri recalled 2007 as a bad year, but despite losing what he called his "dream home," Puleri says the Angora Fire could have been much worse if the community and emergency responders hadn't acted so quickly.

"We didn't lose any lives' that's the good thing about the whole thing," he says. "We could have lost a lot of people."

Kit Bailey is with the U.S. Forest Service in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

"I was the initial attack incident commander, and that was my fire," says Bailey.

Bailey says weather and environmental conditions were ripe that weekend for a major fire to break out.

Since then, Bailey says the government streamlined the process to clear potential fuel sources, helping reduce the likelihood a fire this devastating could happen again.

Some 3,100 acres burned in the Angora Fire in 2007. As many as 260 fire personnel battled the blaze. Capital Public Radio / Photo Archives 

Saturday, the community will come together to remember the event. 

"I think it's going to be about community resilience and the strength of this community and how they pulled together during that tough time, and we really ended up in a super positive place," says Bailey. 

While small in acreage compared to recent California fires, Bailey says the Angora was one of the most costly in U.S. history.

There have been several articles regarding the method in which El Dorado County has proposed to balance the 2017-18 budget. Some people have chosen to take it upon themselves to be an activist for seniors in El Dorado County. The articles for the most part appear to have some straightforward quality information, but look as if to have “fluffed” some of the facts.

The one piece of information saying the Board of Supervisors wants to eliminate senior legal services is misleading. This entire fiasco was started from two sources, one is a memorandum to the BOS from HHS Director Patricia Charles-Heathers, and was followed by CAO Don Ashton’s recommended budget, where he quite simply says, “The CAO office is recommending the elimination of the senior legal services program.”

He touted it carries a certain “risk and liability” to the county. Can’t get much clearer than that. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide any evidence to substantiate his statement; neither did BOS legal counsel.

The CAO has presented a recommended budget for over 1,800 employees in the county, but it seems odd that he would suggest to eliminate the one service in the county which probably has the lowest percent of financial impact on the General Fund. The proposed budget for Human Services is recommended at $73,449,969, the budget for senior legal services is roughly $267,778, plus “… a reduction in force of 3.5 positions….” In layman’s term they are fired.

El Dorado County is going through a momentous change which will impact services for seniors for generations to come. El Dorado County is getting older, much older. El Dorado County is now at the point where half of the populace is age 50 or older, making EDC the oldest it has ever been. The 60-plus population has shown dramatic increases over the last 10 years. According to 2015 Census statistics, communities such as El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville, Pollock Pines, Georgetown and South Lake Tahoe and many others, the population of seniors age 60-plus has doubled since 2010.

The county must start to focus on how this population change is going to impact county services. Seniors come to El Dorado County to relax, spend their retirement checks at local businesses, away from all the congestion and noise of urban living. They want affordable housing and an infrastructure giving them easy access to dining, shopping and adequate health care.

I praise Marshall Hospital for its service to the community, but they too should adjust to the bulging aging population. Perhaps the board of directors should take a more proactive position now and open a specialized geriatric unit staffed with physicians whose specialty is only geriatric medicine. Barrier free structures and ease of mobility within health care facilities is important for seniors. Of most importance is the attitude of health service providers, and the community, toward older people which is nationally recognized as ageism.

Our seniors are a valuable asset and resource for their families and communities, and especially local economics. An age friendly community encourages active ageing by optimizing opportunities for the entire population and will enhance quality of life as people age.

The County announced the Launch of its new online website, but even the announcement of the re-launch is mired in technical Hades and returns a "Page Not Found" warning instead of the Press Release (included below.) 

An effort to find this information on the county website using the "Search Box" rather than the link provided in the Press Release email, resulted in exposing another glitch, it does not work!  

It looks as if the Search is still going to the pre-launch mock-up site that no longer even exists and the result of searching for the Press Release by title is, "This site can’t be reached. edcstage’s server DNS address could not be found."

For more than five years county D.A. Vern Pierson has also served as the county's Chief Technology Officer. The county notes that the website upgrade only cost local taxpayers $41,000.

(PLACERVILLE, CA) - El Dorado County will launch its updated website today, making a more modern, higher functioning, user-friendly information tool available to users. The new site is part of the County's commitment to good governance outlined in its Strategic Plan, was part of the Board of Director's priority projects and reflects the needs of those looking for County-provided programs and services, information on how to do business with the County, emergency services, County departments, news, and more.

'Not only does the new website have a cleaner, more modern look and feel, but it has a much more robust functionality and provides more useful, real-time information,' said David Russell, the County's Director of Information Technology.

The site's homepage has images that capture the many different faces of El Dorado County, from a bustling downtown, tranquil nature settings and rustic wineries to a nod to its history and unmatched recreation opportunities. It includes quick reference to the Board of Supervisors and their districts, along with a search box that allows users to type their address to find out which Supervisorial district they live in, a real-time view of the County's social media posts and press releases, and a continuously updated status map of the County's roads, parks and trails. Finally, the homepage quick links to County resources, online services and popular links site-wide.

'People have come to expect more from their online experience, whether they're visiting a government page or consumer page, including a higher level of functionality and aesthetics,' said Chief Administrator Don Ashton. 'I believe this new website hits the mark and offers a more intuitive, satisfying online experience with the County.'

The new website has an improved search function for users who aren't familiar with the contents of the website and it allows for easier access to online services and links that provide complementary services and information throughout the County. However, users may encounter a 'file not found' error on some bookmarked or favorited pages due to site content remapping that improves the overall searchability of the website. If this occurs, users can either search for the page in the main Search El Dorado County bar at the top of the homepage or navigate through the site on their own.

'Technology moves quickly and we strive to provide the best service possible to the residents of El Dorado County,' said Russell. 'As such, this will be a fluid website, with changes to both the front end and behind the scenes that keep pace with the needs and expectations of today's users. Gone are the days of a website that stays without change for five or more years,' he said.

The cost of the new site was $41,000 and included the consultant fee, redesign, development, and conversion of more than 10,000 pages of prior content. The website address remains www.edcgov.us
