Sheriff's Arrest and Activity Log for 3-30-18

[Frank Stephens]

Rodney Stanhope, former chairperson of the El Dorado County Republican Central Committee and former campaign consultant to Todd White, disclosed that Todd revealed he had been fired from his job with El Dorado County Health and Human Services for sexual harassment.

This should cause voters to ask how Todd will instill trust and confidence in the female majority staff of the office of Recorder-Clerk.

Todd is also chairman of the El Dorado County Republican Central Committee and had the Central Committee endorse his candidacy. Conflict of interest?

Will Todd talk to voters about the reason for dismissal with cause by El Dorado County HHS? Were the charges of sexual harassment resolved amicably?

Was there a settlement payment using taxpayer funds?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Todd White has been asked to comment on this story. If he does, we will update this story to include his response.

[Cal County News]

Last year, we told you about Nipton, California. The old mining outpost in unincorporated San Bernardino County was purchased by cannabis technology company American Green Inc., which planned to turn it into a commercial marijuana paradise.

Well, so much for that. The Los Angeles Times reports that the company has already sold Nipton to the highest bidder.

"Cannabis technology company American Green Inc., which bought Nipton for $5 million last year, has sold it to another company in a deal worth $7.7 million, acknowledging that it struggled to raise the money needed to remake the old desert mining town on the Nevada border about 60 miles south of Las Vegas into a pot paradise.

"Buying and building towns is very cash intensive. Up until now, the cost of attracting capital has been very expensive for our company," Phoenix-based American Green said in a statement this month.

The new owner of Nipton is Delta International Oil & Gas, based in Scottsdale, AZ. As its name suggests, the company typically buys up land for gas and oil drilling. “However, American Green says the sale includes the provision that it continue with its project to transform the 80-acre town on the edge of the Mojave Desert into a cannabis-themed resort,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

Per the terms of the contract, Delta International will assume $3.7 million of American Green’s debt. American Green will retain $4 million in preferred Delta stock and continue with plans to develop the town for the next 10 years.

For every dollar invested in correctional education, research shows a return of four to five dollars, according to a report released by Corrections to College California. Providing a college education to incarcerated individuals can save the state millions through reduced recidivism rates and increased earning power, say the authors.

“Don’t Stop Now,” highlights the progress made in the past three years by the Corrections to College California project. Started in 2014, the effort worked toward bringing higher education to the state’s population of current and formerly incarcerated individuals. According to the report, “higher education reduces recidivism, changes lives, and builds stronger communities.”

The project is part of Renewing Communities, a four-year initiative to build a network linking corrections to college in California. It is a joint initiative of The Opportunity Institute and the Stanford Criminal Justice Center.

Before the project began, the state offered little or no support to providing higher education to individuals who are or have been incarcerated. Subsequently though, the landscape has changed and much progress has been achieved including:

-- Face-to-face transferable college-courses are now offered in 34 of the 35 state prisons, providing degree-building credits to nearly 4,500 individuals each semester.

-- The California State University system provides support services for formerly incarcerated students through Project Rebound offered on nine campuses.

-- Project Rebound has expanded to include Project Underground on two University of California campuses and a similar program at a third of California’s 114 community colleges.

The report also offers a roadmap to other states on how to reduce recidivism rates by educating criminal justice involved individuals. Those recommendations include:

-- Allow incarcerated individuals to have face-to-face college courses while in custody and count them as college students for budgetary considerations. This is included in SB1391, which was passed in 2014.

-- Institute programs such as the California College Promise Grant, which covers tuition for low-income students including those who are or who have been in custody.

-- Do not impose admissions barriers to colleges and universities for people who have been in the criminal justice system. California’s three state systems (US, CSU and Community Colleges) have never imposed those restrictions.

As the report’s name suggests, “Don’t Stop Now” urges state leaders in education and corrections to continue the project’s momentum toward educating this population. Corrections to College California will hold a statewide summit next month to focus on quality, student support, degree completion, job attainment, and transfer.

(PLACERVILLE, CA) – El Dorado County Department of Transportation today announced the daily full closure of Pony Express Trail beginning Monday, April 9, 2018 through April 27, 2018, weather permitting.

This Project consists of the falling and removal of designated dead and dying trees which represent Phase III of the County’s Tree Mortality Project in response to the statewide emergency caused by bark beetle infestations. All of these trees require a crane for removal necessitating the need for a full closure of Pony Express Trail. There are 39 trees on Pony Express Trail that will be removed with Phase III. It is expected that this work will take approximately 15 working days (weather permitting).

Pony Express Trail will be closed on a daily basis Monday – Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm between residential addresses 4895 Pony Express Trail and 4915 Pony Express Trail. The Contractor will be required to maintain access to all driveways within the daily closure.

A Detour Plan is attached. All temporary traffic control devices, including signage, will be installed per the most recent California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Department of Transportation understands the inconvenience that motorists face while this closure is in place and sincerely appreciates your patience with this matter.

Last October, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that destroyed property and took lives. In a four month period the State endured fires and floods from San Diego to Mendocino that destroyed over 11,000 homes and commercial structures and killed 64 Californians. Local Government fire and rescue personnel and equipment comprised up to 80% available resources for mutual aid throughout the State. The City of South Lake Tahoe Fire Department along with other fire agencies around the basin engaged in these critical fire fights. Rising temperatures, prolonged drought and high winds – all ingredients that make for increased risk of catastrophic fires- are going to be a part of our lives and communities for the foreseeable future. Since the year 2000, we have witnessed 14 of the 20 largest wildfires and 12 of the 20 most destructive wildfires in California History. The Northern California fires generated more than $10 billion in insurance claims, making it the most costly fire disaster in our State’s history.

The question on the minds of all of those that live or have homes in the Tahoe Basin is could it happen here? In 2007 we experienced the Angora Fire, which destroyed 254 residences, 67 commercial structures and damaged 35 homes. This fire loss was estimated at $141 million dollars. Lake Tahoe is quite different from the Sonoma/Napa area as well as the Ventura/Los Angeles area. We do not currently have the regional firefighting capacity of our neighboring locations, as we live in a pine forest and we are very dependent on the California State wide mutual aid plan that was developed in the 1950’s to bring us help. The Lake Tahoe Basin does not have adequate resources to battle a mega fire, and based upon history it’s only a matter of when that will happen, not if. Lake Tahoe is relatively isolated with resources only able to traverse the main thoroughfares of Interstate 80 and U.S. 50. In Santa Rosa, just 130 of the more than 400 requests for mutual aid were filled within the initial hours because dispatch systems were overwhelmed. Sufficient help to contain the fire didn’t arrive until the third day. This is in Santa Rosa, within the SF Bay Area, where large metropolitan fire departments like Contra Costa Consolidated Fire District, San Francisco Fire Department, Oakland Fire Department and the Alameda County Fire departments are located.

California’s Mutual Aid System, is recognized as a world-class system for communities to share disaster response resources. However, it’s a “reactive” system built to add resources as disasters grow beyond the capability of what’s on the ground. California’s Fire Service leadership is working diligently to change this system from a reactive to pro-active system.

One of the most effective tools for preventing fires from quickly spreading out of control, or to immediately address other natural disasters such as flooding and mudslides, is to pre-position fire strike teams in areas where high risks are predicted. A lesson learned from our recent fires is that pre-positioning works. The strategy of deploying resources before disaster strikes (called pre-positioning) allows us to attack wind-driven wildfires in the first minutes or hours after they ignite, preventing them from becoming the urban conflagrations like those we witnessed last year. It allows us to give warnings to impacted communities sooner and to rescue mudslide and flood victims as disasters begin to unfold.
The California Fire Service leadership is asking Governor Brown to allocate $100 million dollars in fiscal year 2018-19 to reimburse local fire agencies for their costs to staff up and pre-position resources, to improve staffing levels in communications centers, to warn residents when their communities are in immediate peril, and to add GPS tracking to firefighting apparatus all over the State.

The California Fire Service currently has to increase the pace and scale of everything we do to suppress fires. Communities like ours, close to forest lands and wildlands are particularly vulnerable; we suffer from minimal escape routes within our community, and a lack of firefighting resources throughout the Tahoe Basin. There is no better way to reduce risks and mitigate the impacts of climate-driven disasters than to be ready to fight fires and other disasters in the first hour.

We urge Governor Brown and the legislature for funding in the next state budget to implement these strategies.

South Lake Tahoe Fire Chief Jeff Meston is the President elect for the California Fire Chiefs Association and serves on the Board of Directors for FIRESCOPE.

We need your help to fill the EDC Board of Supervisors room this coming Tuesday, April 3rd at 9 AM. A letter from Congressman Tom McClintock will be presented to the board of supervisors supporting EDC citizens that want to comply with federal immigration law. We are not asking you to speak, but your presence is important to help illustrate the number of EDC citizens that are standing up for the rule of law.

A few of us will speak and demand that the supervisors start representing the will of their constituents. For months now our supervisors have ignored multiple requests to stand up to California and adopt a Resolution, declaring that El Dorado County does not constitute a Sanctuary Jurisdiction, and will comply with Federal Immigration Law. We hope to have our sheriff there, along with other elected officials, or their representatives.

Orange County has caught the media's attention, thanks to the city of Los Alamitos. However, in the counties of Jefferson, ignored by the media, months ago Shasta, Tehama and Siskiyou counties have all adopted Resolutions, as well as the cities of Anderson, Lincoln and Colusa.

Two of our representatives on the board of supervisors are up for re-election. District 4 & 5 representatives, Michael Ranalli and Sue Novasel, are seeking another term and have not taken any imitative to support our sheriff and stand up to California’s violations of the constitution. Going along with California’s unconstitutional law that declares our State to be a sanctuary, is a violation of their oaths of office. Do we want these representatives to become vested with lifelong benefits from EDC? Are these the type of leaders we want representing our county? The registered voters in District 4 & 5 should let these 2 supervisors know how they feel about their inactions, which have condoned Sanctuary Jurisdiction.

The EDC Board of Supervisors is located at 330 Fair Lane in Placerville. We hope to see you there, Tuesday at 9 AM.

Thanks, Ben Blest.

Due to a tree removal project on Pony Express Trail, El Dorado Transit Route 60 serving Pollock Pines will be rerouted during the road closure.

The El Dorado County Transportation Department released information on April 2, 2018 regarding the closure that is scheduled to begin on April 9, 2018 through April 27, 2018. Pony Express Trail will be closed on a daily basis Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm in the project area.

El Dorado Transit buses will use Highway 50 between Carson Rd. and Ridgeway Dr. to avoid the road closure area. As a result, the following bus stops will be closed during the project hours: Pony Express Trail and Crystal Springs, Pony Express Trail and Mace Road, Pony Express Trail and Alder Road, Camp Snowline, and Pony Express Trail and Ridgeway Drive.

El Dorado Transit will serve these stops during the hours and days when the road closure is not in place.

For further information call El Dorado Transit at (530) 642-5383 or visit our website at www.eldoradotransit.com.

Placerville, CA – April 3, 2018…After losing the previously scheduled point opener to wet weather a couple weeks back the Placerville Speedway is now getting set for an attempt to open the Red Hawk Casino championship season this Saturday night April 7.

The evening is also billed as “First Responders Night” with $10 tickets available to first responders who show ID at the speedway box office on Saturday. Divisions set to tackle the red clay on Saturday will include the Thompson’s Auto Group Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, IMCA Sport Mods and Mini Trucks.

“We hope all the fans and teams are ready to open the championship season on Saturday,” commented third-year promoter Scott Russell. “We are coming off a solid year at the track and have worked hard in the off-season to make sure 2018 is even better. Introducing these special themed nights throughout the year is something we’re excited about and are interested in seeing how they work. We encourage all the first responders to come out for $10 tickets this Saturday night.”

Visalia’s Steven Tiner captured last season’s Thompson’s Auto Group Winged 360 Sprint Car title at Placerville Speedway and is back to defend it in 2018. Tiner claimed a trio of victories last year and will look to park it in victory lane come Saturday. “I can’t thank my whole team enough for all the support they gave me last season to get that championship under my belt,” he said. “We’ll be looking to start off the point season on a good note this Saturday.”

Five-time track champion Andy Forsberg also returns this season looking to add a sixth while driving for Friends and Family Racing. The Auburn driver last won the title in 2013 driving the familiar X1 machine. Multi-time main event winners last season Sean Becker of Roseville and Justyn Cox of Clarksburg will also be favorites to bring home the championship. Last year Becker won three-times at the quarter-mile, while Cox won twice in the Winged 360, including the prestigious Mark Forni Classic.

More drivers hoping to find glory at the championship opener will be last season’s third place finisher in the standings Jimmy Trulli, along with Mike Benson, Justin Johnson, Tony Gualda, Jodie Robinson, DJ Freitas, Shane Hopkins, Greg Decaires Jr., Mike Cook, Chris Masters and others.

Jason Palmer will get his driving title defense underway in the Pure Stock division this Saturday. Last year the Sacramento driver scooped up four main event wins, which was tied for the most with Orville Owens, who also put together a breakout season in 2017. At season’s end Scott Grunert ended up being crowned as the Pure Stock owner champion.

More possibilities for Saturday will include former track champion Nick Baldwin, three-time winner last season Dan Jinkersen, Rick Grunert, Chris and Jesse Van Roekel, Mike Stoeckel, Travis Emery, John Ewing and others.

The IMCA Sport Mods have become more and more popular throughout Northern California and Saturday’s event marks the first of three appearances this season at Placerville Speedway. The Mini Trucks also return for their second consecutive season at the bullring. Last year Ted Ahart led the way with three individual triumphs.

Adult tickets this Saturday will cost $15, while seniors 62 plus, military and juniors 12-17 will be $13, children 6-11 are $6, five and under are free! Tickets can also be purchased online by clicking https://www.universe.com/events/2018-placerville-speedway-championship-points-race-2-tickets-placerville-PZN3HV

The pit gate will open at 2pm, with the front grandstand gate opening at 3pm. A happy hour will be offered from 4pm-6pm in the grandstands featuring discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer stand. Drivers meeting will be held at 4:30pm, with cars on track for wheel packing at 5pm, ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust qualifying scheduled to begin around 5:30pm and heat races expected to fire-off around 6:30pm.

The Placerville Speedway is located on the beautiful El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take Hwy US-50 to Forni Road/Placerville Drive exit. Then go north on Placerville Drive to the Fairgrounds. The physical address is 100 Placerville Dr., Placerville, CA 95667.

The National Weather Service Reno issued a flood and storm warning for the northern Sierra: "A strong atmospheric river will impact the region Friday-Saturday. Significant precipitation & high snow levels will bring an enhanced flooding potential for rivers, creeks, streams and urban areas. Flood preparations should be completed by Thursday afternoon."

It's a recipe for flooding.

A tropical storm pulling moisture from the South Pacific, often called an atmospheric river, will deliver mild temperatures and heavy rain to the snow-covered northern Sierra Nevada later this week.

The current forecast indicates that with temperatures in the 50s, snow levels could rise as high as 11,000 feet on Friday. The heaviest band of precipitation is expected to soak areas of the Truckee and Tahoe basins in 3 to 5 inches of precipitation.

To put that elevation in perspective, Donner Pass is located at 7,057 feet and the top of the mountain at Squaw Valley at 9,050 feet. This warm system propelled by the remnants of a typhoon will likely dump lots of rain on snow and on soil that's saturated from the wet weather in March.

Atmospheric rivers stretching across the Pacific Ocean inundate the West Coast with torrential rain and flooding, and buries the Sierra and Cascades and Pacific Northwest mountains with massive snowfall each year, so what causes them and how do they work?

"The runoff is going to be very efficient," says Scott McGuire, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno. "The bottom line here is that significant precipitation with high snow levels could bring enhanced flooding for rivers, streams, creeks and urban areas."

Ahead of the storm, the NWS issued a flood warning for the Truckee River in Nevada and Placer counties including the town of Truckee, advising those living and traveling in those areas to monitor weather information and river levels Friday through Saturday. The Carson River and flatlands around Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes are also areas of concern.

The Weather Service also warns of rock and mudslides on roads.

A cold blast of air from the Northwest is expected to hit Saturday, dropping temperatures, but the precipitation will then likely be light and snowfall minimal.

State water officials measured the Sierra snowpack Monday and found it's 52 percent of average for this time of year. Runoff from the snowpack supplies about a third of the state's water. While the level is low, it's nearly double where it stood a month ago before a series of wet storms in March.

The storm on Friday and Saturday will help replenish reservoirs and ground water but is more likely to shrink the snowpack than build upon it.

Sex trafficking is a topic that has received much attention over the past few years, both locally and nationally. You may hear it discussed in the news or on social media using terms such as human trafficking, domestic minor sex trafficking, online sexual exploitation, or commercial sexual exploitation. No matter what description is used, the reality is there are youth in our county who are victims of sexual exploitation at the hands of traffickers and pimps.

Since 2014, the El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has worked with our County partners and local youth serving organizations to combat and address the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in El Dorado County. This has been accomplished through the establishment of the county’s CSEC Task Force, a multidisciplinary team that includes members from the Probation Department; District Attorney’s Office; Sheriff’s Department; the Placerville and South Lake Tahoe police departments; El Dorado County Office of Education; county counsel; Court Appointed Special Advocates of El Dorado County; and HHSA’s Behavioral Health, Public Health and Child Protective Services.

The outcomes for youth who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation can be tragic if intensive services and systems of support are not put in place to serve the complex needs of these victims. The primary goal of the CSEC Task Force is to ensure that county youth who are victims of sexual exploitation or domestic minor sex trafficking are kept safe and receive the services they need.

As the CSEC program coordinator for HHSA, one of the questions I am most often asked is: “How can I get involved and help?” The best ways to help reduce CSEC and human trafficking are to become aware of the issues, educate yourself on the signs of human trafficking and CSEC, and tell someone if you suspect anyone you know is being trafficked or exploited.

The Polaris Project is a great resource for information on human trafficking. Additionally, the county Welfare Director Associations of California’s website is a great starting place for information on CSEC. These resources can serve as a starting point for the conversation on how to best serve youth in our communities who are victims of either human trafficking or sexual exploitation.

Remember, no child can consent to sex and children who are forced into prostitution or exploitation are victims of horrific crimes with life-long effects. While the issues of human trafficking and CSEC are greater than any of us individually, there is nothing we cannot overcome together as informed and engaged citizens of El Dorado County.

If you know a youth who you suspect is being trafficked or exploited, call the El Dorado County Child Protective Services 24-hour hotline on the West Slope at 530.642.7100, in Tahoe at 530.573.3201, the National Trafficking Hotline at 888.373.7888, or 911.

Jeffery McKay is the CSEC coordinator with El Dorado County Health and Human Services Department.

[PEDRO RIVERA, FOX40]

PLACERVILLE -- The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors sat quietly through strong words from some county residents asking them to sign a resolution that the county opposes Senate Bill 54 or better known as the "Sanctuary State" bill.

Mike Thomas, member of the State of Jefferson movement, was one of dozens of people who filled the room and took to the podium to ask the board to take action.

"We're just saying that, 'Hey, you guys have remained silent on this thing and you can no longer pretend it is not an issue,'" Thomas said.

SB54 essentially restricts local and state police agencies from working with the federal government on immigration enforcement.

Right now, the bill is under attack by not only local residents but the federal government. Last month, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Justice Department was suing the state over the bill, calling it unconstitutional.

California Senate Pro-tem Kevin de Leon, the bill's author, has said the bill is in fact legal and protects hard working immigrants both legal and illegal.

"How can you tell people they are to turn their back on the law of the land, which is federal immigration law?" Thomas said.

El Dorado County Sheriff John D'Agostini left the podium to applause from the crowd when he said he and the California State Sheriff's Association have always and continue to oppose SB54.

"I'm supporting our constituents and protecting our county from some of the illegal aliens that are in our communities that we can not cooperate with our federal partners and get them deported," D'Agostini said.

Despite the number of requests from the audience, the county board of supervisors did not take action against the bill.

D'Agostini says regardless whether or not the board of supervisors decides to support or oppose SB54, his deputies will comply with state law.

[PUBLICCEO, Timothy L. Coyle, consultant specializing in housing issues]

Homelessness is a scourge of humanity and a bitter failure of government. The victims of this incompetence and malfeasance are, of course, the homeless. For homeless individuals with alcohol or other substance abuse it’s likely it is due to a lack of coordination of services. For those with mental illness, it’s an abdication – government simply not doing its job. For veterans, it’s a disgrace. For all those other able-bodied individuals who spend night after night outdoors – suffering from a lack of affordable housing – government funding isn’t helping.

The National Coalition for the Homeless cites as the main causes of homelessness: lack of affordable housing; poverty; lack of affordable health care; domestic violence; mental illness; and substance abuse. (Upon closer examination, however, both lack of affordable housing and health care can be attributed by a high rate of poverty.)

California is home to more than one-fifth of the nation’s homeless people, and the numbers are continuing to grow. The state estimates the number of homeless in California is nearly 500,000. Los Angeles County says its homeless population increased by 13,000 people last year, to a level approaching 60,000 – tho providers think it’s much higher. Same in San Francisco, which believes its homeless population has grown to over 30,000. Metropolitan areas like San Diego and San Jose have jumped to just under 10,000 apiece. Meanwhile, the feds vowed in 2010 to end chronic homelessness by 2020; 2015 for veterans.

No one in the U.S. should be homeless. In a wealthy country like ours, that boasts one of the world’s most generous safety nets, homelessness shouldn’t exist at all. Combined, the federal and state governments spend billions every year for the nation’s down-trodden, especially those with the particular torments of the homeless population. So, where does all of this money go?

The whole funding thing is a mess. A recent study of the Institute for Local Government listed dozens of federal funding programs for the homeless – baffling even the beneficiary shelter and service providers. The same report reveals that state providers have been wrestling for 10 years over how to spend a half-billion dollars of voter-approved funds for shelters here in California. Lastly, local governments are desperately using a variety of local funding sources to address their growing homelessness problem. These sources include public safety funding and resources, local sales tax, animal care and regulation fees, transit or transportation assistance, development fees, transient occupancy taxes, bond proceeds and local general funds.

Indeed, the division of funding for homeless relief between federal, state and local governments is perplexing, at least. Billions are spent every year but what is government’s strategy for dealing with the problem? No one knows because as you go from agency to agency, the message is mixed. What do the feds say? How about HUD? Or VA? Or HHS? Our HCD? They all want to help. But, how?

It’s not even certain government is asking the right questions. They still ask: does the problem stem from the nation’s lack of affordable housing? Is it a mental health problem? Or, one dealing with substance abuse? Does the problem deserve a brick-and-mortar solution? Or, should services be provided? If so, which ones?

If it is housing supply, how does government get around the fact that in most places in California government is the problem? That most housing approvals are being debated not in the city council chambers but in municipal court? This is not to mention that the main housing subsidy funding coming from the federal government comes mainly in the form of vouchers – which aren’t tied to a building (or a building program, for that matter) but simply supplement incomes for purposes of renting housing. Vouchers aren’t a supply strategy and may not match up well with a plan to curtail homelessness.

When it comes to homelessness the federal government should be the primary funding source but it may be that the best idea is to leave solutions to the locals. Shelters like Father Joe Carroll’s facility in downtown San Diego do well in attending to the emergency needs of street people. Or, maybe funding needs to go toward programs like PATH Beyond Shelter in Los Angeles, which concentrates on a more comprehensive approach to serving this needy population. Or, the transitional housing approach of Peacock Commons in San Jose may be the most sensible. Seems like the locals know best.

Everyone has an idea of what might we might do to deal with homelessness. But, maybe we’re attempting too much. Let the locals decide. After all they’re living with the problem. And, why not send all that money from Washington to them directly?

Might be a good start . . . and the beginnings of a good ending.
