(PLACERVILLE, CA) – The El Dorado County Assessor today discovered that a small number of the Business Property Statements (571-L) mailed last week to businesses in the County included a return envelope with a Napa County address.

“We caught the printing vendor’s mistake early and are taking steps to resolve the error and ensure that filed statements are properly processed,” said County Assessor Karl Weiland. “The Napa County Assessor’s office has agreed to forward to my office any El Dorado County statements they receive.” In addition, Weiland is urging business owners to look closely at the return address envelope. If the address is for Napa County, the address should be corrected and mailed to:
El Dorado County Assessor
Business Division
360 Fair Lane
Placerville CA 95667

Every effort will be made to ensure that statements filed timely and using the wrong envelope are not charged with a late filing penalty. The County will be looking into other remedies in an effort to eliminate any misplaced statements that occur due to the vendor’s error. Weiland noted that it appears that less than 500 statements have the wrong envelope.

Business Property Statements must be postmarked by May 7th, 2018 to avoid the statutory 10% penalty. Any questions should be directed to the Business division of the Assessor’s office at (530)621-5716. Information on how to file or correct a filing is also posted to the Assessor web site at: https://www.edcgov.us/assessor

"In 2008, my good friend's daughter was taken from a local grocery store in El Dorado Hills," Bryant said. "She was drugged and she was sold on Craigslist and pimped out by a trafficker. That trafficker exploited her 15 to 20 times a day in the Bay Area." The missing teen was rescued days later in the Bay ...

Thanks to a new state program brought about by the signing of AB 1227, the Human Trafficking Prevention, Education and Training Act, teachers at Sutter Middle School in Sacramento will be among the first to get training on Thursday. They will learn what signs to look for in students who may be victimized by human traffickers.

Heather Hoffman of the nonprofit group 3 Strands Global Foundation will be doing the training.

She said teachers will be trained to be on the alert for "a student who seems withdrawn in class, maybe some changes in them physically. They may be talking about having a secret boyfriend, or two cellphones. Maybe long sleeves when it's 100 degrees outside -- what are they covering up?"

California has the highest amount of human trafficking in the country ...

For nearly two decades, residents of the Lake Tahoe area have celebrated the legend of Snowshoe Thompson. Dubbed the Mailman of the Sierra, John A. “Snowshoe” Thompson carried mail between Placerville, Calif. and Genoa, Nev. for 20 grueling years, twice a month during the winters between 1856 and 1876.

On Saturday, Feb. 24, the Friends of Snowshoe Thompson will hold the 18th annual Snowshoe Thompson Ski and Snowshoe Celebration at Lake Tahoe Golf Course from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Thompson’s mail carrier career began shortly after he responded to an advertisement in the Sacramento Union newspaper: “People Lost to the World; Uncle Sam Needs a Mail Carrier.” Thompson would become the only winter mail link across the Sierra for the next two decades, until rail lines were eventually laid through the peaks.

A few years ago, writer Frank Tortorich published a book on the colorful life of Snowshoe Thompson. In his book “John A. ‘Snowshoe’ Thompson, Pioneer Mail Carrier of the Sierra,” Tortorich describes how Thompson acquired the nickname ‘Snowshoe. When Thompson first donned his handmade oak skis that weighed 25 pounds and stretched to nearly 10 feet long, folks back then called his skis Norwegian snowshoes, thus the nickname. Thompson was born in Norway and moved to the U.S. when he was 10 years old.

A special program on using long skis (longboard) will be presented by ski instructor Nina MacLeod, a long-time Tahoe resident, avid skier, and fellow organizer of the annual Snowshoe Thompson celebration. MacLeod clarifies that “Snowshoe Thompson did not use longboards, which are between 12 and 16 feet long. That was what the miners used back then to entertain themselves! Thompson’s skis were a little more like 8-9 feet in length. I like to include a demonstration of longboards in the celebration just to give visitors a feel for what it’s like to be on skis that long.”

While MacLeod was born in Oslo, Snowshoe Thompson came from a nearby town of Tinn, which is the Telemark region of Norway. MacLeod found inspiration for starting the Snowshoe Thompson celebration when she made a discovery nearly 20 years ago. “In Norway, after learning of the accomplishments of Thompson in the U.S., they began holding an annual 20-kilometer cross-country ski tour on Palm Sunday in his honor. It’s a very popular event with an average of 600-800 participants, spanning 5-80 years old. It’s a great event, and I participated twice.”

Program highlights

Other activities to highlight the legacy of Snowshoe Thompson include a performance by singer-musician Richard Blair. The local artist keeps the past alive by singing about the past, and his popularity proves it. Author Frank Tortorich will offer a discussion centered on his book “John A. ‘Snowshoe’ Thompson, Pioneer Mail Carrier of the Sierra.” Also, 97-year-old Martin Hollay, a local ski legend, will be on hand to share stories from his 25-year career as a member of Heavenly Mountain Resort’s ski patrol. Last winter, he skied 100 days!

Chautauqua performer Steve Hale has been presenting historical figures from the Lake Tahoe region for almost two decades. His performance of John “Snowshoe” Thompson should not be missed. Hale has performed at state parks in northern California, for the Norwegian consulate at the Squaw Valley dedication of a statue of “Snowshoe” Thompson, nonprofit fundraising events, and U.S. Forest Service interpretive programs.

If the 18th annual Snowshoe Thompson Ski and Snowshoe Celebration isn’t enough, the Lake Tahoe Historical Society offers more details about the life and times of Snowshoe Thompson. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Lake Tahoe Historical Society museum includes exhibits on pioneer and farm displays, ice cutting and logging, mail delivery systems by the Pony Express and Snowshoe Thompson, and more.

The family-friendly event is sponsored by the Friends of Snowshoe Thompson, with support from Lake Tahoe Golf Course, Douglas County Historical Society, Lake Tahoe Historical Society, and the Alpine County Chamber of Commerce.

Placerville, CA, February 13, 2017- On Friday, February 9, six El Dorado County high school students converged on the Imagination Theater stage to compete for the title of El Dorado County Poetry Out Loud Champion. In the end, only one would move on to the State Finals in March to compete for the title of California State Champion. The house was full of friends, family, and poetry enthusiasts from all over El Dorado County who were anticipating an evening filled with the power of poetry. A guest panel of judges had trained, studied the poetry selections, and diligently prepared for this evening's recitations. Each contestant would be evaluated based on several facets of their recitation including dramatic appropriateness, voice and articulation, evidence of understanding, and accuracy. Sometimes a winning recitation is arrived at based on a miniscule difference in points. After each recitation was delivered and the judges took time to score and tabulate the final results, Julian Sharwarko entertained the audience with classical guitar. The contestants were asked onstage for the announcements and award presentations. Before the first, second, and third place winners were announced, El Dorado Arts Council took a moment to award the second annual Poetry Out Loud Outstanding Teacher Award to Mark Coovelis from Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills. The award is presented to an outstanding teacher each year who fosters a deeper understanding of poetry and literature.

"Over the years, the poetry unit, with Poetry Out Loud at its heart, has become a favorite for my students and for me," said Mark Coovelis, "It's great to see a student discover a poem they like enough to make it their own, to learn it deeply and thoroughly enough to recite it effectively. It's powerful." 

After Coovelis was honored, the results were agreed upon by the judging panel and the winning names were given to Master of Ceremonies Andrew Vonderschmitt, the Arts Council's program manager, who announced the winners. Third place went to Kaitlyn Stahl of Ponderosa High School, second place was awarded to Sarah Allen of El Dorado High School, and first place went to Jordan Soto of Charter University Prep, who will don the title of 2018 El Dorado County Poetry Out Loud Champion. The crowd responded with uproarious applause as the trophies were handed out and the winners lined up for photographs. 

Jordan Soto will compete against students from all participating California counties in Sacramento on March 18 and 19, 2018.

"For someone who has never won a contest in their life," Jordan Soto said, "This whole experience has been so surreal and I feel greatly honored to be a part of this competition."

Jordan's Poetry Out Loud Lead Teacher is Kate Wells at Charter University Prep. Wells won the Hero teacher award in 2016 from the California Arts Council for her efforts in bringing Poetry Out Loud to her students.

"I'm so excited to see Jordan advance" said Kate Wells, "She has gained such understanding of her poems. It's clear that she has internalized them. At the county finals, I got the chills during both of her recitations. I can't wait for State!" When asked about the program at Charter she had this to say, "All of our high school students participate in Poetry Out Loud. I think they are surprised by how much they get out of the program. There is something magical about uncovering the layers of a poem. It helps the students uncover the layers of themselves."

Round One of the State Competition will begin at 4:00 PM on Sunday, March 18, on stage at the Crest Theatre at 1013 K Street in Sacramento, and rounds Two and Three will begin at 8:30 AM on Monday, March 19, in the Assembly Chamber of the State Capitol at 10th and L Streets in Sacramento. Both competitions are open to the public. 

The competition, presented in partnership with the California Arts Council, State Local Agencies, the Poetry Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts, is part of a national program that encourages high school students to learn about great poetry through memorization, performance, and competition. For more information about Poetry Out Loud: www.poetryoutloud.org

The County Office of Education issued this media release:

Dear El Dorado County Community,

Our hearts go out to the families and educators involved in the tragedy that occurred on February 14, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.  The safety of students and staff is always our top priority, and while we hope that nothing like this happens in our county, we are well prepared.  EDCOE maintains strong partnerships with every public agency in El Dorado County, and we work closely with the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, Placerville CHP, Placerville City Police Department and South Lake Tahoe City Police Department to train and continually update our safety plans to include current safety practices.  We are confident in our plans and relationships with law enforcement, and together we will continue our commitment to providing students and staff with a safe place to learn and work. 

We are prepared to respond, but most importantly, we are proactively working to create positive school environments to ensure students have access to mental health supports and services.  

Respectfully,

Dr. Ed Manansala, County Superintendent of Schools

The Center is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Sands and Andrea Howard as new members of The Center's Board of Directors. 
 
Jennifer became acquainted with The Center through her involvement with El Dorado County's Continuum of Care meetings,  which she attended as a board member of United Outreach.  Jennifer shared, "I had known of the Center's work before that, and had admired its mission and the success of its programs.""When United Outreach lost its funding and I had termed off of the Women's Fund Cabinet, I began to consider joining another non-profit. As luck would have it, The Center was looking to expand its board and I was fortunate to connect with Matt Huckabay, who updated me on the Center's profile."" I was excited by what I heard and delighted, not long afterward, to be invited to join the board." 
"Domestic violence is far more common than any of us would like to think. My own sister has been a victim of it, as has my mother-in-law. For me, as for many of us I would guess, the cause is personal."

"The Center seems to be on the brink of exciting expansion. I am interested in learning as much as I can about The Center's programs and operations in order to help facilitate that expansion. The Center has provided a model of success at both the state and federal level; I'd like to help build on that success while serving on the board."

"What excites me about working with the Center is the energy and momentum its programs have inspired. The Center has a great track record; its programs work. I'm excited to be a part of the next chapter of the Center's long and impressive history."
 
Andrea Howard became acquainted with The Center through a long-time professional relationship with The Center's previous Board President Matt Boyer. They first met  when Matt worked at the County of El Dorado, and also as  Senior Fellows with the American Leadership Forum. "Matt invited me to lunch one day to tell me about his service on The Center’s board and asked if I was interesting in joining.  I love giving back to the community and always look for new opportunities.  The Center board position was a perfect fit.""As I think about my childhood, I have nothing but positive memories.  There wasn’t a single instance where I didn’t feel loved or safe, and those feelings of security and stability have certainly extended into adulthood. My experiences in school were fun, exciting, and surrounded by good friends who respected me instead of bullied me. The atmosphere in which I was raised has helped me thrive and succeed, and I wish the same for others." 
 
"I am grateful that The Center is a valuable resource for families and children in need, but what really excites me is their forward-thinking approach in breaking the cycle of violence for the next generation and teaching them the values of positive social skills." As a firm believer in board governance, Andrea brings a valuable skill set that will aid in advancing the board’s strategic initiatives, through fiduciary oversight, organizational planning, resource management.
 
 Andrea shared that she is excited about learning more about domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other similar abusive behaviors anf how they affect her neighbors in El Dorado County in order to become an ambassador for The Center, while working collaboratively with the board to play a role in stopping the culture of violence and furthering the mission of building healthy relationships, families and communities.
 
The Center is thrilled to have such passionate community members joining our board and we are looking forward to the work we will do together serving our clients!

Placerville City Councilwomen Wendy Thomas Writes:

Very exciting opportunity...the race is broadcast in 192 countries and we can show the world what hometown charm is all about!

AMGEN STAGE 6 | FOLSOM TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

Distance: 122.1 mi / 196.5 km
Start Time: 9:40 AM PST
Est. Finish: 3:41 PM PST

COURSE PREVIEW

Having hosted the Individual Time Trial on two occasions, the City of Folsom has been a fantastic partner of the Amgen Tour of California. For the 2018 race, they commence the start of what is guaranteed to be a memorable Stage 6. From the start, the route heads uphill. Over the course of this 123-mile route, the peloton climbs nearly 16,000 feet over four KOMs, even finishing uphill at the Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe.

The race processes out of Folsom on the city's newly completed Johnny Cash Trail, a unique three-mile pedestrian and bike path that honors the memory of Johnny Cash and his historic 1968 performance at Folsom Prison. Turning right at the intricately planned Legacy Park, the riders start their uphill trek into gold country. Twenty-three miles into the Sierra Nevada foothills is historic Placerville. Originally known as Hangtown, Placerville was the epicenter of the 1948 Gold Rush, with places like Sutter's Mill not far away. The entire town is a California Historical Landmark, but there is a rich history in the surrounding hillsides too. One of the best places to dig into this past is at Gold Bug Park, only one mile north of town (and the route). The Gold Bug Mine was a working mine 170 years ago. Today it serves as a wonderfully fun and educational museum that kids will love. Guided tours of both Gold Bug and Priest Mines take visitors underground to experience what it was like for the original gold seekers, albeit now in a safer and more enjoyable environment. Get your hands dirty trying gem panning in a trough or get out in the backcountry to explore the hidden gems of this 60-acre park on hiking trails through forests and past hidden mines or stamp mills.

Not twenty-miles up from Placerville, the peloton makes a right turn at a fork in the road onto the historic Mormon Emigrant Trail. The Tour follows this same route for the next sixty miles into Nevada. The history of the Trail, however, is one that is little known, but is marked with overlapping history and breathtaking scenery. In 1848, about fifty members of the famed Mormon Battalion from Sutter's Fort decided to rejoin their families in Utah. With the usual passes further north still covered with snow in early May, the group decided to try a different route, one further south and previously explored by Kit Carson four years earlier. Setting off from the present-day location of Jenkinson Lake, the Battalion cleared a new trail that would become a preferred alternate route for new migrants heading west. Now the world's best cyclists retrace this route, passing many roadside markers along the way. Perhaps catch the race as it turns onto Highway 88 and then follow the trail yourself, taking time to stop along the way to marvel at the result of these trailblazing soldiers.

Forty miles after turning onto the Emigrant Trail, the race comes to the highest point of the stage and the Tour, just under 8,600 feet at the crest of Carson Pass. Just as majestic and green in summer, Highway 88 is a winter wonderland between November and April. Near the pass is Kirkwood Resort, a small but highly regarded ski mountain in the South Tahoe region. With a vertical elevation of 2,000 feet and a skiable area of 2,300 acres, Kirkwood is certainly cozier than its sister resort at Heavenly. But its location seventeen miles south of Lake Tahoe (as the crow flies), causes the snow to be deeper and drier than those resorts along the lake. Skiing or staying in South Lake Tahoe? Heavenly even offers a shuttle to those wanting to try another mountain for a reasonable fare. The Tour will be here in summer, but come back in winter when the tall pines are dusted in white and the roads are defined by walls of snow.

Typically featured as an Amgen Tour of California time trial stage, cycling centric Folsom, will host a Stage Start for the first time in 2018. Folsom has been the host of prestigious winners including Bradley Wiggins (2014) and Rohan Dennis (2016), who have both worn the Tour de France leader’s jersey during their careers.

South Lake Tahoe has been a staple destination for the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race each year since 2015 but will host a men’s race finish for only the 2nd time. In 2016, a breakaway including Toms Skujins, managed to hold off the peloton on a big day of climbing up to the high altitude resort of Heavenly. An initial visit by the men’s race to South Lake Tahoe in 2011 was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

El Dorado Arts Council announces that David C. Antonucci, author of Snowball's Chance: The Story of the 1960 Olympic Winter Games Squaw Valley & Lake Tahoe, will discuss the 1960 Winter Olympics, with a special focus on the games that took place in El Dorado County. The event will be held on February 22nd at the Fausel House Gallery which is located at 772 Pacific Street, Placerville, and begins at 6:00 pm. Attendance and parking are free.

Snowball's Chance: The Story of the 1960 Olympic Winter Games Squaw Valley & Lake Tahoe is the first book that narrates the historic VIII Olympic Winter Games at Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe. "I became interested in Olympic history when I stumbled across the abandoned and forgotten cross-country ski racing trails in my neighborhood on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe," said Antonucci. "My research on the trails and the events that occurred there led to my book on the comprehensive history of the 1960 Winter Olympics."

The talk complements The Games of Winter, a curated exhibition of art, memorabilia, and promotional items from the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley featuring items generously loaned from the Museum of Sierra Ski History and 1960 Winter Olympics, and collector Stan Batiste. This show hosts items which are truly unique to their time, such as photographs which capture the electrifying excitement of the spectators and champions alike, maps of the competition trails that artistically show where the triumphs and losses occurred, and souvenirs that exemplify the magic of the day.
One of Antonucci's favorite stories from the 1960 Winter Olympics was that the "USA Hockey Team was written off as a collection of ill-prepared amateurs whose Olympic dreams would end quickly," he noted. "They astounded the world by going undefeated and winning America's first Olympic gold medal in hockey that created the first 'Miracle on Ice.' Within the intense competitions, there are many compelling individual stories of enigma and invention, written off underdogs that ultimately come out on top, and a promise to win gold made to a terminally ill loved one."

Antonucci put it best when he said "these were an Olympics like no other." Hearing about the events while surrounded by captured moments in history is sure to make this a talk like no other as well.

David C. Antonucci has resided in the Lake Tahoe area for over 38 years, and holds a bachelor's and a master's degrees in civil and environmental engineering from California State Polytechnic University and Oregon State University, respectively. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Tahoe Resource Conservation District and Squaw Valley Olympic Museum.

[The Record-Courier Opinion]

In 2011, California eliminated all 400 redevelopment agencies in an effort to return the money they gathered to local school districts and other taxing authorities.

With the impending dissolution of Douglas County Redvelopment District No. 1, it's worth noting that there will still be another redevelopment district at Stateline.

There is a direct connection between California's elimination of redevelopment districts and the establishment of one in Douglas County at Lake Tahoe.

The longstanding goal of the redevelopment district in South Lake Tahoe was to create a large-scale venue designed to attract visitors.

The spread of Tribal casinos along the Sierra's west slope have been eating into gambling profits of the Tahoe casinos for decades.

The idea is that bringing large conventions and events to Stateline year around could help staunch or even reverse that flow.

Redevelopment districts make their money based on an increase in property tax revenue over time. Agencies such as the county, the Douglas County School District and Tahoe-Douglas Fire District will receive the same tax dollars they did before the district was implemented, but won't benefit from increases that come when the area is reassessed.

That's how empty sagebrush became big box stores in northern Douglas County, generating an additional $2 million a year in property taxes.

Stateline is home to the largest sales and property tax generators in the county.

The county is betting on its future with redevelopment. We hope that bet isn't a longshot.

[EDSO Sergeant Anthony Prencipe]

Today, February 21, 2018, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office was called by staff at the Pleasant Valley Middle School regarding a student having a weapon on campus.  School administration had been informed that the student had a weapon and reacted quickly and appropriately to detain the student while waiting for the Sheriff’s Office to arrive. There appeared to be no immediate danger to the students at the school and the campus remained safe throughout the incident.

Upon arrival, deputies found that the student had possessed an Airsoft gun in his backpack and a few rounds of live ammunition in his pockets. An investigation was conducted by the Sheriff’s Office and found that the student did not make any threats to the school or other students and did not have access to any firearms. The student was arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall for possession of ammo on school grounds, California Penal Code 30310(a).

Due to the age of the student, no identification will be provided. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office takes threats to our community, schools, and especially our children seriously. Currently, there are no other known or credible threats to Pleasant Valley Middle School or any other schools.
