THE LAST STRUCTURE
Formula business ordinance may get another look Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer The Placerville City Council at last week’s meeting unanimously agreed to leave the city’s formula business ordinance as is but will consider any new findings from a poll of downtown merchants by the Placerville Economic Advisory Committee. At the June 22 meeting staff requested direction on an action item from December 2019 pertaining to the city’s Central Business District zone ordinance that requires a conditional use permit and site plan review of formula businesses. A business with more than five locations qualifies as “formula.” The action item has been held up pending litigation. Development Services Director Pierre Rivas delivered a detailed report with background on permitting of formula businesses in the Central Business District over the past few ■

The last outdoor dining structure in downtown Placerville begins to come down Tuesday afternoon. Sam Keyt, left, husband of the owner of Enchanted Forest Dining Experience, which put up one of the more creative pandemic-prompted outdoor eating spaces, gets a little help from Quinton Anderson as the pallets-turned seating are disassembled. The Placerville City Council decided at its June 8 meeting not to extend outdoor dining permits past their expiration date of June 15, with a deadline of June 18 for eateries pull out their temporary structures. At the state level, permitting for outdoor dining in space otherwise used for parking was given a stamp of approval through the end of the year with municipalities left to decide at the local level. Enchanted Forest's leafy dining huts, left photo, fill the back of a pickup on their way to be stored in case needed again. Street parking along Main Street, below, has resumed where temporary outdoor dining structures once stood.

Waste collection rates going up countywide Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado Disposal’s rates will get a 5.52% increase beginning July 1. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of the increase at its meeting last week. The rate change comes from a recommendation from county Environmental Management staff based on an analysis by consulting and accounting firm Crowe LLP. El Dorado Disposal submitted its base-year rate application to the firm, requesting an initial 7.19% rate increase, which would cover a $1.18 million shortfall, according to Crowe LLP Managing Director Erik Nylund. Nylund confirmed that El Dorado Disposal’s actual shortfall was $912,578 and that the 5.52% increase would suffice. Additionally, Material Recovery Facility rates rise 3.75%. The need for the rate change comes from increases in labor wages, normal escalation costs, increased yard waste and largerthan-expected health insurance premium escalations, according to the analysis. The rate changes would apply to El ■

2nd roundabout planned for South Tahoe Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Residents in the South Tahoe community of Meyers could see more traffic relieving attempts as El Dorado County plans a new roundabout at Highway 50 and Pioneer Trail. A 2016 road safety study done by the Federal Highway Administration, Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, the county, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and Meyers Community Foundation identified the intersection of
Highway 50 and Pioneer Trail as being in need of safety upgrades. “This project is related to safety and traffic efficiency,” said the county DOT Deputy Director of Engineering John Kahling. “We can get more people through a roundabout than through a traffic light.” The safety study showed that “during peak summer periods, Meyers serves an estimated 300 pedestrians and bicyclists per day.” It added that the current 43 mph average speeds mean only one in 10 ■

Jennifer Davis
May 20, 1971 - May 15, 2021
Jennifer Davis was born May 20, 1971 and unexpectedly passed peacefully on May 15 just five days before her 50th birthday. Jennifer was a strong, beautiful woman inside and out. She was loving, kind and understanding. Jennifer was always game for anything and was extremely brave. Everyone that knew her has positive words to describe who she was. Jennifer will be missed. Her singing voice was angelic. She was gifted with an insight ("knowing") of the spiritual world, a world beyond, where she now resides. Join us for a celebration of her life service Thursday, June 30 at 1 p.m. at the Placer Heights Baptist Church on Schnell School Road just one block from Highway 50. There will be a short casual reception with refreshments and music at the Upper Room on upper Broadway a quarter mile above the Dollar Store at 2:30 p.m. Jennifer's life needs to be remembered and that memory we will celebrate together. Please join us. Your presence will be a great gift to our sweet Jennifer and will permit us closure of our relationships with her on earth.

Mosquito Bridge closure coming Mountain Democrat staff The Mosquito Bridge will have daytime closure for about three weeks next month for its annual maintenance. The El Dorado County Department of Transportation has scheduled work on the historical bridge to begin Monday, July 12, and continue through Thursday, July 29. Motorists will have to find an alternate route between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. The bridge, which was built in 1867 and spans the South Fork of the American River north of Placerville, was completely redone in 1939. It is a one-lane suspension bridge. The Mountain Democrat previously reported the bridge receives at least three weeks of maintenance each summer at a cost of about $75,000.

pedestrians or cyclists would survive a collision. The study continued to state that as of 2016, “18 accidents occurred at, or within, the immediate vicinity of this intersection over a 5-year period … According to CHP, this is the highest accident location within the Meyers road safety audit study area.” Even though this project was on the county’s radar before the completion of the Highway 50 at Highway 89 roundabout, their viewed success of that roundabout was encouraging. Donaldo Palaroan, a civil engineer with El Dorado County who is working on the project, said the roundabout will help in terms of traffic and recreation. There are several bike and walk paths in Meyers that are disconnected. “It will allow us to connect the disjointed nonmotorized facilities,” Palaroan said. The county received a $3 million Highway Safety Improvement Program grant through the state of California and received some matching funds from TRPA. The project is still in its early stages. According to Palaroan, they are working on completing the environmental review and planning report, which will need to be signed off by Caltrans District 3.

About 25,000 pounds of fish will be planted in Crystal Basin Recreation Area lakes.
Let there be trout News release As summer starts and folks get anxious to get out and enjoy the outdoors, SMUD is again stocking three Sierra reservoirs with rainbow trout. Fish planting started in June and runs into August. SMUD will stock 25,000 pounds of fish at Union Valley, Loon Lake and Ice House reservoirs. The reservoirs are part of SMUD’s Upper American River Project, which provides about 15-20% of SMUD’s electricity demand in a typical year. Surveys say fishing tops the reasons folks visit the Crystal Basin Recreational Area and trout plants enhance angling opportunities for the public. On average stocked fish weigh almost 2 pounds with some larger fish
up to 5 pounds. SMUD has scheduled six separate trout plantings. The largest of the three reservoirs, Union Valley, will get 9,400 pounds; Loon Lake, 8,100 pounds; and Ice House, 7,500 pounds. Mount Lassen Trout Farms of Payne’s Creek will deliver the fish. SMUD proactively works to improve the quality of life in El Dorado County where the electric utility owns and operates the Upper American River Project. “We take great care of our facilities and partnerships in the UARP because it provides us with a critical, carbon-free power source,” said Ross Gould, director of power generation at SMUD. “Not only is it economical but it provides immense recreational opportunities for our region.”

Dorado Solid Waste Franchise Agreement Areas A (Rescue, Shingle Springs, Camino and Pollock Pines), B (Somerset and Grizzly Flat) and C (Georgetown, Pilot Hill, Coloma and Mosquito). The smallest service level El Dorado Disposal provides is one 35-gallon can set at $57.09 for two months in Area A, $80.88 for three months in Area B (Grizzly Flat is different with $93.73 for three months) and $81.51 for three months in Area C, according to customer service manager Monica Mckinney. These rates would change to $60.24 in Area A, $85.35 for Area B and $86.01 for Area C. Eight of the nine years since 2012 have seen some sort of a rate increase. Commercial rates would increase anywhere from $6 to $43, according to the analysis. Kathy Adams, resident of Grizzly Flat and former restaurant manager, said she wasn’t impressed with the audit. “It sounded like (they) were working out of binders,” said Adams. “I didn’t hear that (they) went onsite
to the dump or anything like that. I managed restaurants in my younger days and if someone tried to do an audit and didn’t come into my restaurant and eat, I’d laugh.” The rate increases are based on the base-year setting process Environmental Management conducts every three years by involving a third party to justify the rates for the franchisee, said Solid Waste Program Manager Mark Moss. El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce CEO Laurel Brent-Bumb said the chamber supports the rate increases, citing a struggling workforce. “From our perspective, we’ve been struggling with the business community and trying to help folks find work, help them get back on their feet and not just survive but thrive,” Brent-Bumb said. The board also voted unanimously to increase solid waste collection rates for Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal Co. in the Tahoe Basin by 7.43%, effective July 1, based on an analysis done by Crowe.

Capitalism makes us better off
I
recently debunked three myths about capitalism. Here are four more: Myth No. 4: Capitalism creates unsafe workspaces. “Greedy capitalists” will risk workers’ lives to increase production if government, through agencies such as the John Stossel Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, doesn’t stop that. It’s logical to assume that government regulation saves lives. Workplace deaths dropped after the OSHA was created. Government officials like showing a graph of the decline. But if you bother to also look at data from before the OSHA’s creation, you see that deaths fell at the same rate before regulation began! Why? “As we become richer, we become safer,” said Dan Mitchell of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity. Wealth created by capitalism lets us afford safety devices and build machines to do dangerous work. The OSHA is like someone jumping in front of a parade and claiming he led the parade. “We need more capitalism because when people get rich, they can afford more safety,” added Mitchell. Myth No. 5: “Unfettered” capitalism created evil “robber barons” who got rich by “exploiting” workers and consumers. It’s true that more than 100 years ago, a few entrepreneurs, such as John D. Rockefeller, amassed a huge amount of wealth. But Rockefeller was neither robber nor baron. He was not born rich and he didn’t rob. He got rich by offering consumers better deals. Rockefeller developed ways to deliver oil for less. He won customers by lowering the price of kerosene from 26 cents per gallon to about 6 cents. For the first time, average people could afford fuel for lanterns so they could read after dark. Rockefeller may have even “saved the whales” by making oil so cheap that killing whales to get whale oil was no longer practical. His competitors hated him for cutting prices. It was they who convinced the gullible media to call Rockefeller and other entrepreneurs “robber barons.” Cornelius Vanderbilt was also born poor. At age 11, he quit school to work on boats. Then he invented ways to make travel cheaper. He cut the New York-Hartford fare from $5 to $1. Because of capitalists like them, Mitchell pointed out, “We went from agricultural poverty to a country characterized by middle-class prosperity.” Still, I’m told that even if capitalism brings us cheaper or better products, it just isn’t “good for us.” That’s Myth No. 6. Of course, capitalism can breed nasty materialism. n

Letters to the Editor Capt. Paul Jacobs EDITOR: apt. Paul Jacobs was an American hero and humanitarian. He should be honored at our Veterans Monument. Capt. Jacobs’ rescue of 32,000 Vietnamese as the communist were overtaking Saigon was so memorable that it was written about in a book, profiled on 60 Minutes and documented by the U.S. Navy. After Capt. Jacobs retired he returned to Vietnam to help remove unexploded ordnance and to defuse hidden landmines that were maiming and killing the country’s men, women and children. With all the atrocities that happened to the people involved in this horrendous war, we Americans can be proud of all that Capt. Jacobs did. If it is determined that Capt. Jacobs’ extraordinary accomplishments do not meet the requirements for the Veterans Monument, we are willing to donate $1,000 to a separate memorial project to honor this thoroughly decent man. MARY & JOE MURCHISON Placerville
C
Honoring veterans’ accomplishments EDITOR: egarding the “Appeal denied over plaque placement” published June 23. I helped write the policies and procedures governing the management of the Veterans Monument in concert with direction from the Chief Administrative Office and County Counsel. The policy regarding placement of honoraria was approved by the Board of Supervisors. At the time, the founder of the monument, Richard Buchanan, USMC, NC, Legion of Valor, provided direction intended to promote appropriate placement considerations and proportional honoraria for all eligible veterans. Consideration for the centuries-old understanding that humanitarian actions and Audie Murphy-like actions are different but equally important also needed to be given. Accordingly, but belatedly, an “honor” wall was reserved to mount the plaques of El Dorado County’s Audie Murphys, including Buchanan, Mote, Etzel, LaPeilbert and Cathcart.
R
Unfortunately, several plaques were installed during construction prior to publication of policy and one was more recently installed that is a clear violation. Plaques that do not meet policy criteria obviously detract from the meaning of the category intended to be installed on the wall but do not detract from honoraria installed elsewhere in the monument plaza. Making mistakes does not justify perpetuating them. Buchanan objected to the installation of the Jacobs plaque not because of any inappropriate assessment of the captain’s “contribution to the cause of freedom” or heroics but because of inappropriate location and honoraria proportionality. His proposal was to fund an obelisk that would contain the plaque or its equivalent and recognition of the crew of the Kirk in an equally prestigious or better location. The proposal was rejected by the Veterans Alliance and Buchanan’s objection was subsequently categorized as an insult to the Jacobs family and worse. He received threats ... while the county’s reputation was dragged through mud nationally and perhaps internationally. The offending policy guidelines were adopted from the DoD manual for determining honoraria classifications. The original Friends believe that area commanders should decided who deserves what categories of commendations and major medals and associated citations. Such determinations were made for Capt. Jacobs more than 45 years ago. I pray the Board of Supervisors will reverse the denial of Buchanan’s objection and allow us all to move on with appropriate recognition of the accomplishments of the Kirk in our monument and not be the first of 3,143 counties to overrule the decision of military commanders who recommend and approve the honoraria to be awarded by Congress and the president. Adherence to the rule of law is what separates us from those who did not “serve the cause of freedom.” In the case of the Jacobs honoraria location, it is easy to just obey the policy, provide appropriate honoraria, locate it properly and celebrate the reality that Capt. Jacobs made us and the nation proud by his many contributions to the cause of freedom. KEN SCHONIGER Pollock Pines

We were approaching flight would take about an hour and Bakersfield airspace and were about 45 minutes. We would be flying at 200 miles out. I called Bakersfield 13,500 to 15,500 feet. I was flying Approach to get radar advisories of my Beechcraft Baron (58TC), a twinother aircraft and because our speeds engine aircraft that at those altitudes were approaching 250 mph, I would would cruise at about 230-240 mph identify myself as a turbo Baron and with a reasonable fuel burn of about 32 gallons an hour. Wow, 8 mpg — because of my speed let the controller sounds more like a 1964 Lincoln think I was a turboprop like a Beech Continental.

Now we (I was flying with my brother Ken, an ex-Air Force captain, who flew jet fighters at McClellan AFB), knew we would get a priority landing position without being in a holding pattern. We also knew that when we started our descent into Palm Springs about 100 miles out, we would also accelerate to about 270 mph coming down from 13,500 feet to pattern altitude of 1,500 feet while having to slow down to about 140 mph 10 to 15 miles before entering the airport traffic area. It takes some planning. So, there we were cruising along fat, dumb and happy at about 250 mph at 13,500 feet (also an altitude where some turbo props fly, helping with the deception), when Bakersfield Approach contacted us with a traffic advisory. “TurboBaron 841 you have traffic 12 o’clock, 10 miles climbing out of 10,000 feet, an F-117.” I replied, “Roger, no contact (meaning I don’t see him), but he’s an F117 Stealth fighter/bomber, how can I see him anyway?” The F-117 Nighthawk was the Air Force’s first stealth aircraft, meaning it is invisible to radar. The Stealth was the first aircraft used in the 1991 Iraq
War and being invisible to Iraqi radar, it was able to take out most of the Iraqi defense warning systems before any other aircraft would be sent in. The F-117 was quite successful. A few seconds later Approach advised us “TurboBaron 841, F-117 traffic 12 o’clock, six miles going through 12,000 feet, climbing.” I replied, “No contact, but how can I see him anyway, he’s stealth.” Another 15-20 seconds goes by and Approach issues another advisory “TurboBaron 841, F-117 traffic now 11 o’clock, three miles climbing through 13,000 feet.” To which again I replied, “841, still no contact” adding it’s a useless endeavor as we are blind as a stealth aircraft is not visible. Approach said nothing. And we actually did not see the F-117 and he’s about 15 seconds away coming almost right at us. But the F-117 had a plan that was perhaps to become the biggest thrill of my flying career. I am getting goosebumps writing about this 20 years later. At our 11 o’clock position and about 2 o’clock high, in a shallow climbing turn, not more than a

The North Tahoe Fault runs northeast from the lake through Incline Village over Mount Rose and into Reno. This photo shows a trench behind Incline Village Elementary School — evidence of seismic activity.
Scientist wonders if Tahoe quakes could be foreshocks Miranda Jacobson Tahoe Daily Tribune INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — A recent series of rare earthquakes centered under Lake Tahoe have scientists wondering if they could be foreshocks of bigger events. The temblors began in April when many smaller magnitude quakes shook the region. They got stronger and a magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck right under the lake at about 8:30 a.m. May 28. University of Nevada, Reno, Seismological Laboratory Director Dr. Graham Kent began watching the basin carefully, unsure if these quakes are isolated or if they could be the start of something much larger. “Earthquakes that are on the fault lines below Lake Tahoe are not very common,” Kent said. “The real question is, are we having smaller but significant earthquakes and they’re just going to go away, or are they

going to be a foreshock to quite larger events? Statistically, it’s unlikely that they’re going to be the foreshock or predecessor to large quakes, 7 or 8, but we don’t know that. So that’s why there’s always a little bit of concern that we are starting to have earthquakes of significant enough size that we worry about it.” A foreshock is a mild tremor preceding the violent shaking movements of an earthquake. The energy in the Sierra granite doesn’t dissipate in the same way, for example, broken up rocks would in the Bay Area, and Tahoe’s west shore is long overdue for a rupture event, Kent said. Lake Tahoe lies on three major fault lines in the region. The first, and biggest, spans from Emerald Bay to Dollar Point, with two more cutting through the Incline Village and Crystal Bay region. Kent said recent n

Then on Feb. 17 the Placerville Downtown Association and Friends of Historic Hangtown filed a petition challenging the city’s approval of Therapy Stores’ conditional use permit after an appeal of that permit was denied. “Staff has been made aware that a settlement agreement has been agreed upon between the petitioners and Therapy Stores and is to be executed within days, ending the lawsuit and permitting Therapy Stores to open,” Rivas said. City Attorney John Driscoll noted that he had received word earlier in the day that settlement discussions were still ongoing and recommended the council “not get into the merits of that lawsuit.” Rivas reminded the council that both the Placerville Planning Commission and Economic Advisory Committee reviously recommended no changes be made to the existing regulations and that staff suggested “a process to amend the zoning ordinance to consider restrictions … and direct staff to begin a formal process if that’s the direction of the council.” He added that the council could also simply receive the report and take no action, leaving the ordinance in place as written. Public comment was partly in favor of amendments being made to the existing ordinance. “I’d like to see that we have a more stringent formula ordinance for restaurants and retail businesses to preserve what we have,” said Placerville resident Ruth Michelson. Heidi Mayerhofer, representing the Placerville Downtown Association, encouraged the council to amend the ordinance. She asked that a workshop be planned and the council, “invite the people who are impacted most, the retail businesses downtown.” Placerville resident and past councilmember Kathi Lishman reminded councilmembers she was not a member of the Placerville Downtown Association or Friends of Historic Hangtown, but she too thought the ordinance an “opportunity and a responsibility to keep downtown unique.”
“I think the town could use a rest,” said Placerville resident John Clerici, also a past councilmember. “Main Street has been through a lot; this city has been through a lot.” He offered a possible plan of action of adding the issue to the Placerville Economic Advisory Committee’s poll of downtown merchants that aims to gather data on the effects of Main Street street closures. Placerville Downtown Association President Bryan Chase said the ordinance protects the uniqueness of Main Street. “As for the Central Business District, keeping it unique and beautiful with a formula ordinance that maybe only allows two like-businesses, or just the five,” he said. Councilmember Jackie Neau said the Planning Commission and Economic Advisory Committee had already looked into the matter and the council should uphold their findings. She also asked for better clarification in the language of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Kara Taylor agreed that getting data through the Economic Advisory Committee would be helpful but that the item should be tabled until more information could be gathered. “One thing I’d like to see an end to is lawsuits against people trying to invest in our community,” she said. “I think that’s really bad for business.” Councilmember Patty Borelli said the fear of formula or chain stores running small businesses out of town has been unfounded. “If they adhere to our regulations, then so be it,” she said referring to the conditional use permit process. “It’s competition and that’s what business is all about.” “There’s not a great track record of these businesses doing well in the (Central Business District),” said Councilmember Michael Saragosa. “We’ve seen them come in and we’ve seen them fail, just like we’ve had independent businesses fail. “Unless something drastically changes or we hear some really different information, then we leave things as is,” he added. “Most, if not all of the predictions of doomsday have been wrong,” said Mayor Dennis Thomas. “If (the Economic Advisory Committee) bring(s) something back that is worthy of consideration, I think we should consider it.” Ultimately council decided to table the discussion and directed staff to bring the question to the Placerville Economic Advisory Committee to add to its current polling efforts of Central Business District merchants.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Go easy. What bit of complexity can you let go of? Simplicity of thought and action will make room for joy. Patience and accordance with the way things are will bring peace to a chaotic world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is only natural to want to possess these beautiful, temporary states that, ultimately, cannot be owned. It is wise not to throw money at problems that cannot be solved with money. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The spirit of competition is alive. You wish to be as bright, quick and sharp as you possibly can be, therefore you wish only the best for your opponent. People at their best raise the level for everyone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wandering is just what people do. Eyes, minds and bodies flow sometimes purposefully, other times aimlessly, with a restlessness that is part of the human condition. Allow for it. Guide yourself back with kindness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are like clay, and everything you let into your life will imprint on you. You’re excited about what’s going to happen when you let in certain influences. You’ve a strong sense of how you want to be formed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships flow through life, some a constant throughout and
others salient for a season. Either way, it is your sincere desire that everyone leaves better than before. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You remember the ones you owe a debt to and you’re working to pay up. As for those who owe you, you’ll put it out of mind. When their payment does come, it will be a delightful surprise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love is a verb to you — a process instead of a thing that exists in space. Finding love will be like discovering yourself in a series of movements and realizing, “Hey, I am dancing.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The best way to complain is by making something that’s way better. Solutions are coming together in your mind. You’re coming into a streak of brilliance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Compromise is essential to life and relationships, and you’re often better for the effort. But if you find yourself having to compromise every little step of the way, it’s the sign of a bad fit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is harder for a person who is strongly identifying with every little detail of their image to give themselves over to the unpredictability of the moment. It takes more confidence to lose control than to gain it.

earthquakes the basin experienced are happening at smaller faults that connect other larger faults. This means their rupture size is limited, but are still rubbing against the larger faults. “The east side of the fault drops relatively to the west side,” Kent said. The dropping of these faults is what leads to the formation of the deepest parts of the lake and could eventually influence a tsunami. Kent said that it would take a large, magnitude 6 to 7 earthquake to start
actually seeing a tsunami at the lake but there’s no way for them to predict if these previous quakes are related to a bigger event or isolated. While hypothesizing what could happen if there were a tsunami, Kent pointed out one of the biggest differences lies in the season it occurs, especially during the summer. “I think the biggest issue, other than the potential loss of life, which would be significant, is the boat issue,” Kent said. The “boat issue” is multiple vessels
potentially tipping during a large wave, which could rise up to 30 feet and potentially start fires with leaking boat fuel. Another potential issue includes the redistribution of the entire lake, depending on which direction the wave goes. Kent said that while these things could all possibly happen, those things are worse-case scenarios. For now, he has some advice for those who live and vacation in the basin. “If you feel a strong shaking,” Kent said, “not like it’s kind of strong, but a
strong, violent, shaking — move off the beach immediately. The second thing people need to know is even without the earthquake, if the water level ever changes dramatically or quickly, leave the beach because it could be a landslide. With an earthquake, that could make the tsunami larger, or you could just have a landslide without the earthquake and it could be significant.” Anyone who thinks they feel an earthquake can report it on the USGS website at earthquake.usgs.gov/data/ dyfi.

Meet the winemaker
Mollie Haycock promoted at Scott Harvey Wines n After 17 years,
Amador pioneer Scott Harvey gives up reins News release
P
LYMOUTH — Women are transforming the wine industry and Scott Harvey Wines is on the cutting edge of that trend, promoting Mollie Haycock to winemaker as she takes over the day-to-day operations from the winery’s namesake. As the company grows, Scott Harvey moves to executive winemaker and hands over the reins to Haycock, his protege for the past six years. “Mollie brings a great education and years of international experience to winemaking,” said Scott Harvey. “But what I really appreciate about Mollie is her passion for the wines of the Amador region. We’re making worldclass wines here and Mollie is poised to take Scott Harvey Wines and Amador County to a whole new level.” “I’m incredibly proud of Mollie for her hard work, her knowledge and talent,” said Jana Harvey, Scott’s wife and the company’s president. “It’s great

I can’t wait to taste the 2021 vintages she’s going to produce.” “I was honored when Scott and Jana hired me in 2015 as assistant winemaker,” said Haycock. “Scott’s history and reputation are just stellar in Amador County and
beyond. I have learned so much from him over the past six years and I am over the moon that Scott is entrusting me with his name and his winery. I can’t begin to match his years of experience, but, he is going to be close by, and I have him on speed-dial. I’m planning to continue his legacy of making great Amador County zinfandel, barbera and

syrah and Europeanstyle wines from other regions that pair with great food and great friends.” Scott will continue a close association with the winery that bears his name, serving as executive winemaker. “I have every faith that Mollie is going make great wine,” he said. “She’s definitely ready to drive, but I may still want to take a spin around the vineyard once in a while.” Haycock graduated with bachelor’s degrees in both enology and wine business from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. While still in college she worked in the lab at a large winery in Paso Robles for two vintages. She has also worked at wineries in the Carneros region, New Zealand and South Africa before returning to Northern California, eventually landing at Scott Harvey Wines in 2015. Haycock is passionate about the personal relationship that she has with the wines and
the opportunity to see how the grapes from each vineyard turn into something unique and delicious during the aging process. She is a “hands-on” winemaker working in the vineyards, the crush-pad, the lab and, of course, in the winery itself. You will often find her zipping around on the forklift moving barrels and pallets and always taking great care of the winery. When she is not making exceptional wines, Haycock loves to travel, take in live music performances and theater and enjoy a really good meal with friends and, of course, good wine.
About Scott Harvey Wines Scott Harvey’s name is synonymous with Amador Wine Country. His career in winemaking in the region spans four decades and he is largely credited with putting Amador County “on the map” as one of
California’s premiere regions for barbera, zinfandel and syrah. Scott Harvey Wines produces Vineyard 1869, an old-world style zinfandel made from the oldest documented zinfandel vineyard in North America and it represents the gateway to Amador’s unique expression of California’s favorite varietal. Prior to starting Scott Harvey Wines with his wife Jana in 2004, Scott held prominent roles in several notable wineries, including Santino, Folie a Deux, Montevina, Story and Renwood. Scott Harvey Wines remains focused on producing the best of Amador County barbera, zinfandel and syrah along with select bottlings of Napa, Lake and Mendocino county wines.

Barton nurse celebrated for compassionate care Thea Hardy Barton Health SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Lauren Rolfe, a registered nurse with Barton Women’s Health, has been selected as The DAISY Award winner for extraordinary nurses. The award is in recognition of the clinical skill and compassionate care nurses provide to create a superior experience for patients and their families. Rolfe was nominated by a patient who received her medical support during a high-risk pregnancy. Pregnancy can already be a high-anxiety time for soon-to-be moms and when paired with elevated risk, can amplify stress and uncertainty. Every pregnancy is a unique and intimate journey. It’s crucial to have a care team that will act as a partner going above and beyond to provide outstanding support. “Every day I was

[Lauren] helped me overcome my fears and led me to a positive mindset when I needed it most, preparing for my final stages of pregnancy,” wrote Rolfe’s patient in the nomination. “Her knowledge and confidence helped me relax and enjoy my pregnancy. She was nothing short of caring, compassionate,
intelligent, professional, confident and devoted to her patients and her work.” Rolfe joined Barton Health in 2019. She received her RN degree through an accelerated bachelor's degree nursing program at the University of Wyoming. She has previously worked as an inpatient nurse in surgical/ orthopedic unit and also in urgent care. Rolfe’s hobbies include soccer, skiing and cooking.
“I chose nursing to make a difference in people's lives and do something that is challenging and interesting,'' said Rolfe. “Learning from my co-workers and patients constantly inspires me and allows me to continue to develop my knowledge.” Nurses may be nominated by patients and families, and the award recipient is chosen anonymously by a committee at

passion as a performer. In that time, he has performed all over the U.S. and Europe, released five albums, two EPs, numerous singles and even appeared on season 9 of “The Voice.” His songs have been featured on dozens of TV shows and movies, including “Spenser Confidential,” “Hawaii 5-0,” “9-1-1” and “Criminal Minds.” “I realized that you can do more with music than talk about yourself,” Rhodes states in the release. “You can do more with music than express a feeling. You can express a piece of information with feeling and get the same emotional response, but you’re actually doing something to spread good ideas and help people out there. “To me, singing songs is about passionately connecting with the thing I’m talking about and if you’re singing about something that you actually believe in it’s really easy to get there,” Rhodes added. Reserved table seating for two is $50. A fourperson table is $100. Limited, free socially distant lawn seating available. Parking is limited at Valhalla. When the lot is full, guests may park in the lot by the Green Gate on Highway 89 and walk into the venue. For those with a handicapped sticker, placard or plate there are several designated spaces. To purchase tickets visit valhallatahoe.showare. com/eventperformances.asp?evt=139. For more information call (530) 541-4975 or email info@valhallatahoe.com.
