Gas prices, organics recycling raise disposal rates Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer
the city, based on California’s Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index for diesel fuel, came to 4.2267% with a fuel adjustment of 2.361%, adding up to a 6.587% increase. This amounts to a per-customer increase of $1.62 for a 35-gallon cart, $2.55 for a 64-gallon cart and $3.04 for a 96-gallon cart. The 35-gallon cart senior rate will increase by $1.20. An “adjustment for extraordinary circumstances” was also requested to the tune of $2.94 per customer. The organics recycling fee
At the May 25 Placerville City Council meeting an annual rate increase up to $3.04 per customer per month depending on cart size, and a $2.94 “extraordinary circumstances” increase was approved unanimously. A public hearing is scheduled for the rate increase at the June 21 El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting. Placerville’s Director of Community Development Pierre Rivas explained that the proposed rate increase in
Water agency focuses on drought planing Eric Jaramishian Staff writer Implementation of Senate Bill 552 guided the conversation on small water system preservation during the El Dorado County Water Agency bi-annual plenary May 13, where interested stakeholders gathered to discuss ways to better manage existing water resources, develop new sources of water supply and protect the region’s watershed amid California’s now threeyear drought. Senate Bill 552 focuses on improving drought planning for small water agencies in rural communities. Participants included state and local water agencies, business and land owners and county residents, who discussed building upon the recently completed Upper American River Basin Regional Drought Contingency Plan, which will help ensure small water suppliers and rural communities have water supplies, said water agency PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE
board members, who noted that the key is to work with large water purveyors in the West Slope, Tahoe Basin and the county’s Office of Emergency Services. “Our General Plan calls for preserving the rural way of life, so having this many small water systems isn’t surprising but no one’s really focused on how to make them secure,” said El Dorado County Water Agency General Manager Ken Payne. There are 141 small water systems in El Dorado County, according to the agency. “Our biggest vulnerability is some of these smaller systems, including Grizzly Flat,” Payne added. “We’re going to need the big water systems like Georgetown and El Dorado Irrigation District to help. It was good to see that kind of discussion happening.” Water agency staff is looking into starting a task force to evaluate the county’s small water suppliers and well users to determine their needs and come up with potential solutions. “This could include consolidation but costs are a major consideration as costs for consolidation or access to alternative water supplies are higher for isolated small water systems and rural communities,” said Lisa Yarbrough, spokeswoman for the water agency. “If we want to pursue consolidation, we’ll need to advocate for state and federal assistance for implementation.” The El Dorado County n See Water Agency, page A6

would help offset the costs of implementing the collection and recycling of methaneproducing organic waste as mandated by Senate Bill 1383. In November 2021 the Mountain Democrat reported on the initial implementation of SB 1383, which aims at reducing emissions from short-lived climate pollutants. Placerville resident Sue Rodman said roughly 60-70% of her weekly trash would be considered organic waste. She asked if there could be a way to pick up organic waste weekly or reconfigure what is being picked up and when.
“The ick factor is real.” — Jeff England, El Dorado Disposal district manager “I support what we’re doing,” she said. “I‘m just wondering why we can’t do this as part of our weekly trash and just separate the two items.” According to Ross Reaksecker, site manager at El Dorado Disposal, the organic waste program is still in an exploratory phase. “It’s a new service, in a sense,” he said. Although residents might
already compost at home, Reaksecker added, there are no options to opt-out of organic waste removal based on the language of SB 1383. “The state hasn’t developed a mechanism for rewarding or recognizing home composting yet,” said District Manager Jeff England. “What the state is going to track is the amount of trash per person.” n

Suzanne Rees
July 23, 1956 – May 25, 2022
Suzanne Lynn Rees, Sue to most, lost her decade-long battle with cancer at home on May 25. She came into this world July 23, 1956 in Whittier, Calif., and was the only child of Steven and Helen Brummer. Her mother passed away in 2016. As a child, she enjoyed school, Girl Scouts, going to Disneyland and being with her friends. She attended California High School in Whittier, the same school where her father taught history. Sue spent a semester abroad in Germany in 1973 where she developed a life-long love of Mercedes-Benz and beer. During high school and afterward she was actively involved in Job’s Daughter Bethel No. 282 in La Habra, where she was Honor Queen in 1975. After graduation from high school in 1974, Sue worked at the iconic Bob’s Big Boy on Whittier Boulevard, where many local police officers came for coffee and food. This is where she met the love of her life, Stan the Man. Stanton “Stan” Rees and Sue married in 1976 and stayed happily married until Stan’s death in 2017. Sue spent many years working for California’s DMV, where she enjoyed training and various challenging assignments in both Southern California and then Sacramento. She retired from the state in 2001 and then devoted her full attention to her other passions, family and needlework. Stan brought to the marriage three children and in 1992, Stan and Sue had Kelsey. When Kelsey was 3 years old, Stan retired from the Whittier Police Department and the family moved to Placerville. They designed and built their dream house. In Placerville Sue fulfilled her dream of owning a needlework store and opened Kelsey’s Needle Krafts in 2001. Stan and Sue poured their sweat and lives into the business. Sensing they would do better in the historical downtown area, they moved the shop just a few years later. Sue was very involved in the local community, dedicating many hours to the downtown business association, serving as the band uniform mom at El Dorado High School while Kelsey attended and spending countless hours working at the El Dorado County Fair. After many years the reality of being a sole proprietor took its toll, then Sue had a great idea: turn the shop into a cooperative. Kelsey’s Needle Krafts continues today as a cooperative with many wonderful partners. Sue is survived by her father Steve Brummer, daughter Kelsey Walkover, son-in-law Joshua Walkover, beloved granddaughter Lillian Walkover and by her three stepchildren Christine Kelly, Jeffery Rees and Timothy Rees. She will be mourned by her family, her friends and the Placerville community at large. A celebration of Sue’s life will be held June 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Marshall Building at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.

Virginia “Ginger” Rose Tegarden June 5, 1937 – Nov. 7, 2021
On May 17, Glenn Solon Davis passed peacefully in Placerville at the age of 90. He was a renaissance man who influenced everyone he touched. Glenn was born in 1932 to Glenn and Florence Davis in Medford, Ore. Born during the Great Depression Glenn’s dad paid for his birth with cords of wood. Glenn’s parents moved to Salinas, Calif., where he grew up with his three brothers Arlen, Norman and Roy. Glenn’s love of gardening began there when he planted his first lawn as a child. After attending Salinas High School he enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in Berlin as a meteorologist. It was during this time he married Barbara Lumsden and later had four children. With the help of the GI Bill he obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education and his teaching credential. That enabled him to teach and coach at Kit Carson Jr. High and Hiram Johnson High School. To supplement his income, he became a naturalist in the summers at Big Basin and Big Sur state parks. These experiences gave him the background knowledge to open Sly Park Environmental Center as its director in 1970. Thus for 19 years he was able to unite his love of teaching, science, physical health and the environment. After retiring from Sly Park, Glenn remained active by volunteering as a science teacher at an elementary school and as a UC Master Gardener. However, these weren’t Glenn’s only accomplishments. He had myriad of interests including drafting and landscaping. He used these skills to draw up the blue prints and create the garden rooms in his dream home in Placerville. He was passionate about all aspects of nature, the environment, gardening, art, cooking, traveling and the well-being and value of others. During his lifetime, he has been a role model of integrity and inspiration. He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years Janet; his former wife Barbara; his children Darien, Tim (Suzette), Aaron (Linda); four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; his brothers Arlen (Clara Ann) and Roy (Andrea) and all his dear friends who have been like family. He is preceded in death by his parents; his son Doug and his brother Norman. A celebration of life will be held at Foothills United Methodist Church, 3301 Green Valley Road, Rescue on June 25 at 2 p.m. Should friends desire, contributions can be sent to: Friends of Sly Park (for children’s scholarships) 5600 Sly Park Road, Pollock Pines, CA 95726 or UC Regents in Memory of Glenn Davis, El Dorado Master Gardeners at 311 Fair Lane, Placerville.

Raising six children, Ginger was a dedicated stay-at-home mother whose family always came first. Ginger was a Team Mom for her sons’ Little League and supported her daughters in their school endeavors. Additionally, Ginger helped with her husband’s advertising business, as well as working at a local convalescence home. Ginger was always the life of the party, loved to play games and had a wonderful sense of humor. When she wasn’t taking care of her family, working or being social, Ginger was busy baking homemade apple pies and making blankets with her sewing club for those in need. Ginger is preceded in death by her loving husband of 56 years, Walton Scott Tegarden Jr. She is also preceded in death by her sister Madeline “Lana” Steele-Diaz. Ginger leaves sister Jeri (Wayne) Clark; children Scott Tegarden of Omak, Wash., Shane (Deidre) Tegarden of Maui, Hawaii; Tracy Tegarden of Maui; Kelly (Linda) Tegarden of Oroville; Holly (Thomas) Lopes of Elk Grove, Calif.; Darcy (Steve) Baxter of Placerville, Calif.; five grandchildren Zhani (Carlito) Alvarenga, Paige (Raymond) Valim, Madison (Jonathan) Peel, Lee Baxter, Ryan Baxter and six great-grandchildren.

Sinkhole buttoned up on 50 Mountain Democrat staff A 75-foot culvert dating back to 1931 that runs underneath Highway 50 about 12 miles east of Pollock Pines collapsed Thursday, causing a sinkhole in the middle of the roadway’s westbound lane.

WILDFIRE EXPOSURE
Study to explore health effects in pregnancy News release SACRAMENTO — Sage Po-Ruff was about eight months pregnant when she noticed a post on her Facebook feed for a study at UC Davis Health that explores the impact of wildfire exposure on pregnant people and babies. “What interested me was being able to study the effects of wildfires in a more global sense — not just what happens when your house burns down, but how this is affecting all Californians,” explained the new mom, who lives in Sacramento. Po-Ruff decided to call and enroll in the B-SAFE (BioSpecimen Assessment of Fire Effects) study. The research team at the UC Davis Environmental Health Sciences Center has been analyzing hair, blood and other samples from pregnant people and their newborns since 2017. The study is currently recruiting new participants from Northern California who were pregnant during last year’s wildfires. That includes the massive Dixie and Caldor fires, which led to weeks of hazardous air quality in many parts of the country. “Pregnancy is a particularly vulnerable period for the mother and the developing baby and ambient air pollution exposure during this time has been associated with adverse pregnancy and child outcomes,” explained Rebecca J. Schmidt, a molecular epidemiologist and lead researcher on the study. Schmidt is an associate professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences and UC Davis MIND Institute faculty member. “While the placenta is designed to protect the baby, black carbon particles have been found on the fetal side of the placenta in association with air pollution exposure, suggesting there could be direct impacts on the developing baby,”
she said. Schmidt notes that prenatal exposure to air pollution and particulate matter (the mix of solids like dust or soot and liquid droplets in the air) is associated with stillbirth, preterm birth and low birth weight. Exposure is also associated with autism, increased intellectual disability and attention■

The locusts come out at election time
T
he deadline for local governments to place tax hikes on the November ballot is rapidly approaching. This is why political consultants have descended like locusts on city councils, county boards of supervisors Jon Coupal and school boards pitching their services. Their objective? Fool, er, convince, voters to approve even higher levels of taxation. These consultants are nothing if not slick and very convincing. They also use taxpayer dollars to engage in so-called “informational” campaigns explaining to the public why their city, county or school needs more money, whether they do or not. Here’s how it works. Consulting firms specializing in tax measures engage in aggressive advertising pitching their services directly to local governments or through associations such as the League of California Cities or the The free speech California School Boards clauses of the Association. If they get a bite from a jurisdiction, federal and state they claim to be able to Constitutions do a “feasibility” study to test voters’ receptiveness prohibit the use to a tax hike. But these of governmentally surveys are often loaded with questions designed compelled to elicit support for the monetary desired outcome (e.g. Do you think education is contributions important?). (including taxes) Armed with “data” to support or showing that tax increases could pass oppose political voter approval, the campaigns. consultants then engage in “outreach” to organizations and interests that might benefit from tax hike increases, such as public sector unions and construction companies. The jurisdiction even begins to engage in direct mail campaigns that are designed to build good will with voters. These might be glossy fliers with photos of police or fire personnel. The next step is the drafting of the tax hike measure, which invariably begins with “findings” of extreme necessity for additional money. The draft includes coordinating with the consultant’s legal team and government lawyers to provide one-sided ballot titles and summaries. The sad part about all the activity described above is that it is all taxpayer funded. It is only when the actual political campaign begins that the consultants partner with the special interest groups for the “advocacy” part of the campaign. But even here, examples of local governments crossing the line into taxpayer-funded advocacy are too numerous to mention. Moreover, in most n

Letters to the Editor Why gun laws fail EDITOR: ecently in Sacramento a shootout between rival gangs left six dead and 12 wounded. In a church shooting in Southern California a citizen sacrificed his life to save others — and likewise the guard at the market in Buffalo, NY. In the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, 21 students and teachers died, more wounded. Each such event leads to a demand for more gun laws, which are proclaimed to be the answer. Universal background checks are demanded, even though most killers had passed one or evaded it. Universal background checks are a smokescreen for firearms registration, a precursor to confiscation. Australia confiscated even pump-action shotguns and reduced mass shootings. They were replaced by arson and the number killed went up. Rep. Garamendi says California gun laws work. He must not have noticed that church shooting, the San Jose rail yard shooting or the local shooting of the day and murder of the week reported on the Sacramento TV station news. If gun laws work, why do we need more? Why did all the gun laws violated at each of those events not prevent them and why will the proposed new laws succeed when the existing ones failed? A recent column by Dan Walters pointed out many of the reasons gun laws fail. I propose another, but since it is a carefully guarded secret, you must promise to never reveal it. It is that compliance with laws is voluntary! What, you say? How can that be? It is as simple as this, there are two distinct groups in society. One is made up of those who volunteer to obey laws; they are called “Law Abiding Citizens.” The other is made up of those who don’t; they are call “Criminals.” Criminals by definition do not obey laws, including gun laws for which they may but often do not suffer a penalty. They are betting that they won’t. California has so many gun laws that even the Department of Justice often does not know what is in them. The California Legislature has made it abundantly clear that they think law abiding citizens with guns are the problem, not criminals, never so blatantly as when a few years ago they repealed the law requiring mandatory enhanced sentences for using a gun in a crime. As a direct result, the judge was able to disregard all the
R
enhancements and give Brian Ishmael’s murderer the minimum possible sentence. Following the Sacramento shootings, some have suggested that the answer might actually lie in dealing not with guns, but with the causes for young men joining violent gangs. This will come to nothing, as it will require funding. Passing more useless gun laws costs nothing but our liberties and allows politicians to claim they have done something. And the beat goes on. COLTON MEYER Somerset
Franklin’s words continued EDITOR: s noted in an earlier letter, Benjamin Franklin offered his opinion about the question of paying legislators and executive officers of the federal government. He opposed the idea. What Franklin was trying to do was to state two of the forces that animate individuals into action, ambition and avarice. Here are more of his words. Ben Franklin June 2, 1787 — “Besides these evils, Sir, tho’ we may set out in the beginning with moderate salaries, we shall find that such will not be of long continuance. And there will all always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State and Kingdom a constant warfare between the governing and the governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving the people. “Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes; the greater the need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of the Pharaoh, get first all the people’s

They apparently section 18 USC have the time to 1507 states that spend day and night it is a federal screaming at the homes crime to protest near a of Supreme Court residence of a judge or justices in an attempt to jury with the intent to intimidate them. Where influence their decision do these people get in a pending case. It money to put a roof over appears that continuous their heads and food on protests are happening the table? in front of the five or six Larry Weitzman I have a probable Supreme Court Justices answer. They are who are believed to be living on your money as many are voting for the Justice Samuel Alito on student loans. Which means, decision that will overturn Roe V. according to our president, most, Wade and give the abortion question back to the states to allow for a vote of if not all, student loans will end up being a gift from you and me. the people. Joe Biden is looking for votes for The president and Department of the coming midterm election and Justice are not enforcing the law and he plans to buy them from the same very recently an armed, leftist lunatic demographic group — young people, was arrested outside the home of with whom Biden has fallen to below Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Student loan debt is about $1.8 The protesters, of which there is trillion, more than consumer credit substantial video footage, mostly appear to be younger, either of college card debt, which is about $1 trillion. It age or slightly older. And that begs a would be more inflationary pressure, huge question. First, what do these which is now at 8.3%. But, more

important, is the Producer Price Index, which hit 11% and will soon be reflected in the CPI. According to the IRS, debt forgiveness is taxable income so effectively the Feds are going to spend $1.8 trillion they don’t have. Would student loan debt forgiveness include the student loan debt of medical students who are now physicians? Does it include students in a professional graduate school like law or dental? What about the debt of what I call professional graduate students majoring in ethnic studies, basket weaving or the new graduate study program called “rewriting history?” What about students who repaid their debt? Do they get a refund? In the last week or two these protests have somewhat faded, but not to worry — a new attack upon our Constitution appears to have risen following the tragedy of the Uvalde school shooting. Lots of protestors want to destroy our constitutional rights. They’ll borrow some more money in student loans from the taxpayers so they can keep protesting. It’s interesting how the government
works. If you didn’t realize it, the people of the United States are the enemy of the current government. And to protect schools, government leaders want to disarm their citizens. It’s our own citizens our government is afraid of. The party of darkness wants total control. It wants total obedience. Of course, none of the Democrats are giving up their heavily armed bodyguards or guns. They are the privileged and the elite. There are other and better ways to protect schools. Hardening the campuses, maybe arming a few teachers or real police officers on campus. None of that was present at Uvalde. Taking guns from law abiding citizens only means criminals will have all the guns. Let’s hope time runs out for the current Congress. We all know what’s going to happen in November, even if Biden tries to buy votes with student loan forgiveness. It may backfire anyway as they lose votes from the hard workers who paid off their obligations and didn’t party on government student loan money. Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.

of these cases, the consultant hired to run the election campaign is the same firm that did the “informational” campaign on behalf of the city, county or school district. Taxpayer funded political campaigns are illegal. The free speech clauses of the federal and state Constitutions prohibit the use of governmentally compelled monetary contributions (including taxes) to support or oppose political campaigns. As we enter the 2022 election cycle, cities, counties and special districts will use public funds to pitch tax hikes. The Modesto Bee has already reported that the city of Modesto is considering spending $115,000 for consulting services to test the viability of a tax increase. Fortunately, prosecuting such violations of
law was the very reason the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association created the new Public Integrity Project, which has already proved to be an additional enforcement tool against illegal expenditures of public funds and other violations of law that hurt taxpayers and voters. Citizens who believe that their government entity is illegally spending public funds for election related activities can contact HJTA as well as the Fair Political Practices Commission. To find out if anybody’s pitching a local tax increase for your November ballot, check the website of your city council, county board of supervisors and school board throughout June and read the agenda of all upcoming meetings. Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You made a decision, and that was the starting point leading to places unimagined. Those new places became starting points. Today you ask, “How did I get here?” and retrace the winding road. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know you are growing in spirit because when you look back at the things that made you angry, they no longer do. In fact, don’t they seem rather small? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you once saw as a thing you had to do you now see as a game. When you change the rules to a game, it becomes a different and new game. This is the course of your day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know who you want to be. Remind yourself of this in those moments you feel lost. Knowing who you want to be is more than a decision; it’s an orientation that creates its own map, its own to-do list, its own next steps. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just because you have wisdom beyond your years doesn’t mean you’ll act on it. A little foolhardy, youthful exuberance blasts through the stale air of staunch environments. You’ll be a hit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today’s success will be a twist on tradition. You’ll appreciate and tend to what you have and then venture out to discover something new to throw into the mix. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s heavy on the work, light
on the fun, which every circus performer knows is a recipe for toppling. If you switch up the equation — make work lighter and fun more important — the crowd will love it, and so will you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People learn compassion through disappointment and injustice. You’ve moved through bad times and are now so capable of helping others through their suffering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes you go with the tried and true and other times you feel adventurous enough to see if there’s something out there you could like even more. For today’s happiness, credit a balance of both behaviors. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When people want what isn’t good for them, giving them what they want isn’t going to help anything. For best results, apply your own judgment to the actions you take on behalf of others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most are not extraordinarily objective when it comes to their own thought process, but you’re the exception to the rule now. You’ll look into your process and line everything up; alignment is power. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You learned not to loan money to friends and family; instead, you just give it to them without expectation of return. If you can’t do it like that, you don’t do it at all.

Water Agency is considering forming another group to spot and address watershed-related issues. The group would work to define conditions and issues to promote collaborative approaches to address watershed issues and wildfire risk and reduction, an important step for the agency to look into potential solutions, said agency board members. The working group would include tribe members, land-use authorities, U.S. Forest Service staff and water purveyors, according to board members. The El Dorado County Water Agency recently secured a federal grant to initiate a watershed planning process for the West Slope. Securing federal funding has been an agency priority. “More and more of these opportunities require plans for implementation and endorsement by regional groups,” District 2 Supervisor and water agency board member George Turnboo told the Mountain Democrat. “By working together we increase our region’s competitiveness in securing grants and other funding.” The county is limited in its water supply options due to its reliance on surface water with limited groundwater. In an effort to address this, the El Dorado County Water Agency will focus on establishing programs to protect water rights for adequate area-of-origin water access, to be
managed wisely for county benefit. The water agency secured an additional federal Central Valley Water Project service contract and is pursuing an area-of-origin water right application to support regional economic development. Also being considered is developing a high elevation and off-stream storage on Alder Creek, part of the South Fork of the American River drainage, to replace loss of snowpack seen in recent years. El Dorado County Water Agency officials stated that state and federal support is needed to expedite the required feasibility study already authorized by Congress. The 168,000 acre-feet water storage project would increase the total upper American River watershed storage to 2 million acre-feet and a carbonfree hydropower generation would increase downstream hydropower generation. “We got a $6 million authorization from Congress to begin a feasibility study with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for that,” Payne said. “We’re working with the Bureau of Reclamation on trying to get that started. That would provide some long-term water supply, long-term relief, to replace declining snowpack and store that. “That would help our recreation economy and our agricultural economy. That would help reliability for water supply for our community.”

Searching for biomarkers of health Participants are visited at home during their pregnancy by a researcher who takes nail, hair, blood, saliva and other samples. Pregnant people are also asked to answer some questions about their health. Researchers will also visit the new parent and baby in the hospital just after delivery, as well as one additional time at home to gather samples from both. If available, samples from the placenta or cord blood will be collected. “She made me feel really comfortable,” said Po-Ruff of the researcher who collected her samples. “I really appreciated how respectful the researchers were, and they made it clear that I never had to give any samples I wasn’t comfortable giving. You can participate at the level you’re comfortable with.” The research team uses the samples collected from participants like Po-Ruff to study markers of compounds that people were exposed to, as well as biological responses to exposures. “The goal is to find
B-SAFE study findings Five years into the study, researchers have reported several key findings. They found that mothers’ respiratory symptoms were shortlived, while their stress and anxiety lasted much longer. Most babies in the study have been born healthy. “So far, we have not observed differences in short-lived chemicals in maternal blood, which is not too surprising since the samples were collected a while after the fires,” Schmidt said. “We have found peaks of certain metals in hair samples that correspond to the time of the wildfires, but not of any concerning heavy metals, which is reassuring. But there is much more to learn,” Schmidt noted. Study participants will not receive their individual results about
the exposures measured in their specimens, and there is not yet any meaning in terms of clinical decisions they might make for themselves or their family. The B-SAFE study is part of an effort by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to better understand wildfires and other environmental disasters. “Obviously, having a baby is really rewarding in and of itself, but it also feels really rewarding to help contribute to scientific discovery,” Po-Ruff said. Who can participate? • People 18 years or older • People who live within two hours of the Sacramento area (one way) in the wildfire affected counties: Butte, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba • People who are or were pregnant between July 2021 and July 2022 and who lived or worked in the Northern California area in July 2021 • Other family members may also participate To sign up or learn more visit the B-SAFE website, email hs-bsafe@ ucdavis.edu or call (916) 892-0794.

“Right now the state requires what it considers putrescible to be picked up on a weekly basis,” said England, 275119 adding that the best option would be for customers who can reduce their regular trash load to reduce the size of their cart, therefore reducing rates. “We’ve done a lot of complaining about this bill and this is a really frustrating huge task for staff, El Dorado Disposal and for the county to try to wrap our heads around this major change,” said Taylor. “Methane is a real problem and we do have to take bold action to address it. “That will in the long run be a positive thing. It’s going to be a painful process to get there.” England offered that although the state had not assigned value to composting regarding the metrics they track, El Dorado Disposal recognizes the value composting has to the community. “It is very much part of our outreach in a greater effort to make this not a failed program, and have it morph over time into something that is relevant and helpful for El Dorado County,” he said. “If everyone is not doing it because of the ick factor, then that has to be reported back to the state and hopefully they’ll adjust and go forward.” Councilmembers voted unanimously to adopt the resolution, approving the rate increase with a bi-weekly organic waste pick up. A public hearing is planned for 10 a.m. June 21 at the Board of Supervisors chambers to consider El Dorado Disposal’s requested countywide rate increase of 4.07% effective July 1.

The state’s expectation is that all residents will participate in the organic waste program, according to England. Effective July 1, residents will be allowed to mix food waste with other materials in their green waste cart. This material will be trucked to a location in Yolo County instead of the current recycling center, Lopez Ag in Sacramento, which is not permitted to perform food waste recycling. “It’s considerably more expensive,” he said. Additional fuel cost plus an $18.50 per ton disposal fee increase are behind the proposed increase, said England. “It is our hope people will do the things the state is recommending in order to keep the program successful,” he said. “Let’s be frank, we know, anecdotally and in other areas, there will be participation drop off when it gets hot. “The ick factor is real.” He said in the future the City Council could decide whether a weekly or bi-weekly service would be more viable. “We can’t turn on and off either a weekly and bi-weekly situation,” he said. “We can’t purchase a $400,000 truck and have it sit half the year, we can’t hire people, drivers in particular, and then let them go seasonally.” Mayor Kara Taylor wanted to follow up on Rodman’s earlier question. “Sue’s comment kind of sparked this,” she said. “With the organics out of the garbage can, you really don’t need your garbage picked up as much.” She asked that without organic material in the trash would it be possible to go to bi-weekly garbage pick up.

Pretend you are a mighty oak tree and give these exercises a try.
In winter, many kinds of oak trees, being deciduous, lose their leaves. During that time when sunlight is especially precious for warmth, the oak tree’s leafless branches let the sun shine through.
Oak trees make good shade trees because they grow tall and wide enough to create a big canopy that you can sit under on a hot, sunny day. A canopy is a covering, either natural or man-made.
Oak trees provided more than shade for the first Americans. Their fruit, known as acorns, were an essential source of food for Native Americans from coast to coast.
The acorns were ground into a meal that was used to make mush or pounded with meat, fat and berries to make pemmican, a paste that dries into chewy, nutritious strips.
Read the steps that Native Americans followed to remove tannins from acorns. Then number the pictures in the correct order.

1. Shell the acorns by splitting the outer shell and removing the light-colored inner nut.
With a friend, take turns drawing a horizontal or vertical line between two dots. Completing a square is worth 1 point. If there’s an acorn in the box, that’s worth 5 points.
4. Rinse the acorn meal with hot water to wash away the tannins. The meal must be rinsed at least ten times, or more if cold water is used.
Whoa! You’re now in a big wind storm. Lean as far as you can to one side, then the other.
2. Grind the shelled acorns into a fine meal. 3. Scoop the pounded meal into a basket.
5. Add water to the leached meal and stir with a hot rock lodged into a looped stick.
Now it’s fall. Shake, shake, shake those dead leaves off!
6. Add berries, seeds or dried meat for flavor. 7. Eat!
Nutshell is a compound word. Draw a line from each acorn cap to a nut to form compound words.
Match each acorn to the kind of oak tree it comes from. Do the math to check your answers.
Look through the newspaper for pictures and words that show you it is fall in your town. Cut these out and make a “Fall in My Town” poster. Bonus Challenge: Put the words you find in ABC order.

El Dorado Rose candidates will blossom at the county fair Sherry Phillipsen Sherri Bergmann Mountain Democrat correspondent
O
ne of the requirements to qualify to be an El Dorado Rose candidate is to have volunteered non-career years of community service and Sherry Phillipsen, who hopes to be the next El Dorado Rose, has been volunteering in the county for the past 38 years. Tanya Moran, her sponsor and president of Soroptimist International of Placerville, shared, “Sherry joined our club in 2016. Even then, she was talking about one day being an El Dorado Rose. (I recently heard she began telling a friend about her desire back in 1996). Her volunteer experience is excellent. She is a hard and dedicated worker, but also has fun with it.” A brief overview of Phillipsen’s volunteer history (note how many she is still serving): • 1993–present: Teaching assistant for various schools in the county. • 1996–2015: Hosted foreign exchange students. • 1998–2006: Served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in the county.
• 2001–2015: Phillipsen’s family raised eight guide puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. • 2002–present: El Dorado County 4-H, currently serves as leader of the 4-H Scholarship Committee. • 2007–present: Blood Source and Vitalant, after a friend and lifelong volunteer with Blood Source had passed away, she took over the Placerville Mobile Blood Drive. • 2013-present: Marshall Hospital, volunteers at fund raising events and as a driver transports patients to and from their cancer treatment appointments. Phillipsen is a cancer survivor herself. • 2011–present: Placerville Elks Lodge member and volunteer. • 2015–present: Member of Soroptimist of Placerville and volunteer, achieved Laurel Society in 2017. • 2017 –present: Daughters of the American Revolution, Phillipsen has proven seven ancestors who served in the American Revolutionary War. She promotes patriotism in classrooms and, as a graphic designer, she designed a poster sent to schools across the United States.

atha (Gay) Willyard, a candidate for the next El Dorado Rose, doesn’t prune back her time to help the community. She has been growing her involvement since she moved here in 1980, especially in enriching the El Dorado County Fairgrounds and contributing to its history. Willyard saw how much a petting zoo could help the fair and children could enjoy and learn more about the animals, so she and her husband, who passed away in 2017, coordinated with the community and started a petting zoo that ran 1986 to 2002 and donated an award-winning Petting Barn to the El Dorado County Fair. With her experience in animals, and as a 4-H leader, she helped the youth prepare their livestock for competition and to enhance their showmanship. She also served as a 4-H resource leader, president, vice president and secretary of the 4-H Steering Committee. “Working with 4-H kids, helping with the fair and putting on the Petting Barn was a very special part of my life after we moved here,” Willyard recalled. “I loved working with the kids, animals and meeting people. I believe the children are our future and as adults we pave the way for them. We teach them strong moral values, to show respect for others and impart

n 1972, at 29 and 27 years old, respectively, Greg and Susan Boeger planted stakes and started a dream in El Dorado County. In July 2022 the Boegers celebrate 50 years at their winery’s original location on Carson Road in Placerville. The
story of their adventure is filled with colorful characters, mishaps, the kindness of strangers and unimaginable rewards. Both graduated from University of California, Davis — Sue with a degree in philosophy in 1967 and Greg with a master’s degree in ag economics and viticulture in 1968. The timing was good for Greg, as the university was then laying the foundation for a revival and expansion of the region’s wine industry.

Singleton, as well as Jim Cook and Harold Olmo, Greg witnessed some of the most important developments in the California wine industry. His fellow students included legendary names like Maryann Graff, Zelma Long and Silver Oak founder and winemaker Justin Meyer (for whom the Boegers’ son, Justin, is named.)
Ag history Sue and Greg were both raised in the agricultural mecca of the Sacramento Valley. Greg came to the university with a rich experience in farming and a familiarity with wine grapes. Sue had business moxie and a passion for art and philosophy. Greg spent much of his youth in Napa Valley working at the Nichelini Family Winery, established in 1890 by his grandfather Anton Nichelini. At the winery, Greg learned about winemaking, vine tending, and running a business. He also worked summers at his cousin George Boeger’s apricot ranch in San Jose. There he drove tractors, forklifts and trucks, maintained and repaired equipment and learned the basics of farming. Sue, a daughter of a respected Sacramento surgeon, was the little sister of Greg’s best friend, who lived across the field from the Boeger family. Sue and Greg married in 1967.

The event also honored the memory of four bright lights in the El Dorado County community who were great supporters of the arts. Their lives represent the talent, thoughtfulness generosity and commitment to the community that makes El Dorado County such a special place to live. “This next generation of artists is inspiring, not only for their dedication to theater or music but also for their hopes for making the world a better place,” said Paul Bush, Madroña Vineyards owner and one of the award founders.“We are thankful for our local high schools and their music, theater and art teachers for highlighting such an amazing group of young adults — passionate, talented and driven.” The Young Artist Awards were presented in each of four categories: music, visual art, theater and nature-inspired art of any discipline, including a $500 honorarium. The four awards are the Richard H. Bush Award for Music, the Joey Cattone Award for Visual Art, the Lanny Langston Award for Theater and the Jane Van Camp Award for Nature-Inspired Art. At the reception, Paul and Maggie Bush, joined by Leslie Bush, presented the 2022 Richard H.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A native of Placerville is currently stationed in the nation’s capital serving with U.S. Naval District Washington alongside his military working dog, Seahawk. Seaman James Northon attended Ponderosa High School and graduated in 2016. Today, Northon uses skills and values similar to those learned in El Dorado County. “Growing up, the life lesson I have carried over to my naval career is working hard even when no one is looking,” said Northon. “It is important to always put your best efforts in everything you do because your job speaks about you even when you are not there. Also, I have learned the importance of being part of a team while standing out independently due to your own merits.” These lessons continue to help Northon while serving in the military. With the nation’s capital at its heart, the region encompasses more than 4,000 square miles, including the District of Columbia; the Maryland counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, Prince

Roanin Krieger takes on the challenges of Plebe Summer U.S. Naval Academy News release Roanin Krieger, a Placerville native and graduate of Jesuit High School, was inducted into the Naval Academy Class of 2026 and will begin six challenging weeks of basic midshipman training as part of the Plebe Summer. Additionally he will be playing rugby with the academy as a recruited athlete. Approximately 1,200 candidates are selected each year for the academy’s plebe (freshman) class and each student is required to participate in Plebe Summer. Last year the Naval Academy received more than 16,000 applications for the Class of 2026. During this time plebes have no access to television, movies, the internet and music and also have restricted access to cellphones. They are only permitted to make three calls during the six weeks of Plebe Summer. The pressure and rigor of Plebe Summer is carefully designed to help plebes prepare for their first academic year at the Naval Academy and the four years of challenges that await them. As the summer progresses plebes rapidly assimilate basic skills in seamanship, navigation, damage control, sailing and handling yard patrol craft. The also learn infantry drills and how to shoot 9mm pistols and M-16 rifles.

Roanin Krieger attends the U.S. Naval Academy this summer. Other daily training sessions involve moral, mental, physical and professional development as well as team-building skills. Activities include swimming, martial arts and basic rock climbing plus obstacle, endurance and confidence courses designed to develop physical, mental and team-building skills. Forty hours are devoted to the instruction of infantry drills and five formal parades. Founded in 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy today is a prestigious, four-year service academy that prepares midshipmen morally, mentally and physically to be professional officers in the naval service. More than 4,400 men and women representing every state
in the U.S. and several foreign countries make up the student body, known as the Brigade of Midshipmen. Midshipman learn from military and civilian instructors and participate in intercollegiate varsity sports and extracurricular activities. They also study subjects such as leadership, ethics, small arms, drill, seamanship and navigation, tactics, naval engineering and weapons and military law. Upon graduation midshipmen earn a bachelor’s degree in a choice of 25 different subject majors and go on to serve at lease five years of exciting and rewarding service as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps.

which doesn’t seem to tire her out. With an interest in theater, dance and history, she recently joined the Placerville Shakespeare Club and the International Dance group and is a member of the Shakespeare players group. Carole Burnley, Shakespeare Club president and Willyard’s Rose candidacy sponsor, said, “Gay is a new member to the Shakespeare Club but that didn’t stop her from jumping right in when a need became available. One member was not able to serve as kitchen chairman so Gay volunteered to chair the event.” For recreation, Willyard enjoys golfing and has won three trophies. Other special awards and honors she has received include: a Western Fairs Association Blue Ribbon Award for the Petting Barn, Board of Directors plaque, the City of Placerville Community Pride Volunteer Award for the Adopt-A-Spot gardens, many ribbons and special awards for the Adopt-ASpot competitions, Fair Volunteer Award, Think Tank Award and several 4-H leadership awards. For her run for the Rose, Willyard said, “As the El Dorado Rose I look forward to being the hostess of the county, attending ribbon cuttings and mixers hosted by various chambers of commerces and welcoming new businesses to the county.”

business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “It is very important to have ships all over the world at any given time” said Northon. “We do so much to protect our national security with multitalented personnel and versatile jobs.” With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. Northon and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service. “In the Navy we have a Law Enforcement Secondary School,” said Northon. “I got top of the class. During my time there, I was always very observant. I put extra time on the work. I never neglected my studies and all of that paid off.” Northon’s commitment led him to being selected to work with Seahawk. “It was a special moment when I met Seahawk,” said Northon. “I was assigned two different military dogs to train, but I knew Seahawk was going to be the one that would stay with me. As I was training as a dog handler, I realized that he was easy to work with. They were not testing Seahawk but me: our connection and my ability to accomplish the job with him as a team. Seahawk is amazing and has a super power to keep us safe that is unmatched.” As Northon and other sailors continue to train and perform the missions they are tasked with, they take pride in serving their country in the U.S. Navy. “I am really proud that I am part of an organization that allows me to serve, but also to provide support to others,” said Northon. “It could be something small that is affecting someone or any issue really serious to them. Regardless, I am in a position where I can support my shipmates because I care for them.”

They tell it like it is, often without filters, which makes me laugh!” Her sponsor emphasized Phillipsen’s devotion to El Dorado County. “Sherry has been in the county since 1985 and raised her three children here,” Moran said. “She knows this county well and loves it.” Another requirement to be a Rose is to know the county’s history. Phillipsen expressed her sheer enthusiasm. “I have been studying our history. Now when I drive around I point out interesting facts to whomever will listen. What I hope to achieve during my one-year reign is to work with students to get them excited about El Dorado County history.” Although Phillipsen’s long wait to be an EDC Rose may be over soon, if she is chosen, her heart to help others grow and bloom will continue for many years to come.

an article in the Sacramento Bee in which El Dorado County Ag Commissioner Ed Delfino and farm adviser Dick Bethell extolled the potential of wine-grape growing in El Dorado County, the two contacted Delfino for help finding property. He led them to pear farmer Elmo Fossati, who was willing to sell his orchard, which held a Gold Rush–era winery and a distillery operated by the Fossati family from the 1860s to the 1920s. Greg and Sue bought the property in 1972, decades after the last winery in the county was shut down due to Prohibition.
In the beginning Greg’s first vineyard plantings were merlot, cabernet and other traditional varietals, though he became a pioneer in his own right by experimenting with obscure varietals. “With the varying exposures and slopes with elevations from 2,150 feet to 3,000 feet in our vineyards, I figured I could grow anything,” said Greg. He planted barbera, carignane, refosco, charbono, flora, tempranillo and graciano: most of which are still on the estate today. Longtime friend Darrell Corti, a world traveler and owner of Corti Brothers Market in Sacramento, encouraged Greg to plant unique Italian varieties such as negroamaro. Negroamaro is now one of the most popular releases at the winery.
Location, location, location Especially appealing to Sue was the property’s proximity to the farms of the newly formed Apple Hill Growers Association. The association brought thousands of tourists right past Boeger Winery. After running the ranch for a while, Sue returned to college at California State University, Sacramento and studied business and finance. At the winery, she instituted professional accounting practices, computerized the business, established the tasting room, set up a local and national sales network and managed the staff. As more El Dorado wineries opened, the Boegers played a guiding role in the region’s agricultural development. Efforts included establishing the El Dorado Winery Association and the El Dorado Wine Grape Growers Association and petitioning the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to recognize El Dorado County as an American Viticulture Area (which took place in 1983).
Recognized worldwide In the 1980s Boeger Winery took honors all over the wine world, helping raise awareness of El Dorado County and Sierra foothills wines. In 1983 Boeger received the American Champion Merlot Award from the largest wine magazine in the United States at the time. The Boeger wines were poured at the Four Seasons in New York for an

Sue and Greg Boeger are seen here the day they opened their tasting room five decades ago. A-list of entertainment luminaries. Boeger’s Merlot was poured twice at White House state dinners — once for the prime minister of Japan and once for the president of Algeria. Boeger’s 1980 Zinfandel was selected for all events surrounding Queen Elizabeth’s 1984 California tour. Sue and Greg’s children, Justin and Lexi, were born and raised on the ranch and both play significant roles at the winery today. Justin received his degree in fermentation science at UC Davis and interned at two wineries in Germany’s Franconia wine region: Staatlicher Hofkellerei Würzburg and Julius-Spital. He became Boeger’s full-time winemaker in 1998. Justin produces a portfolio of Spanish and Italian varietals that receive consistently high marks from national critics. “My goal in winemaking is to make a wine that truly reflects its own personality as it was developed by our individual soil; a wine that tastes like no other wine in the world,” Justin said. Greg gives credit to Justin for keeping the brand relevant. Lexi, a multimedia artist with a degree from UC Davis, is the winery’s art director. She recently updated all packaging to better acknowledge the strong image of the “Archer’s” arrow. Lexi is also active in the El Dorado Winery Association and El Dorado County Board of Supervisors’ Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee. In 2018 Greg was honored by the California State Fair with the Wine Lifetime Achievement Award, which each year goes to two pioneers in

the California wine industry. The fellow honoree that year was the Bogle family. Past recipients include, Paul Draper, Warren Winiarski and Robert Mondavi. In the 2020s, Sue limits her involvement at the winery to big-picture business decisions. She reflects on the impending anniversary as “something quite amazing.” Greg is still in the field full-time and responsible for all farming. He loves being in the vineyards with his crew and his tractors, especially in spring when he can run his old D2 Caterpillar. “There is something primordial and grounding in this spring ritual that goes back to the inception of agriculture and the growing of crops. It has a satisfying and calming effect on the soul,” Greg reflected. Greg and Sue continue to work with and support the local chamber of commerce and ag commission, as well as Family Winemakers of California, the Wine Institute and the Apple Hill Growers Association. In 2021 the winery saw 30,000 guests. Boeger Winery currently offers 26,000 cases of 15 wines made from 33 grape varietals. A winery open-house celebration is planned for July. Look for more information soon. Boeger Winery is located at 1709 Carson Road in Placerville.
