Eric Jaramishian Staff writer El Dorado County has ended negotiations to utilize 1940 Broadway (Mother Lode Hotel) and 1970 Broadway (Gold Trail Motor Lodge) in Placerville as a homeless shelter. The Broadway addresses were among the sites the Board of Supervisors directed staff to look into. Another location is at county-owned property on Perks Court off Missouri Flat Road adjacent to Highway 50, just outside Placerville city limits. The county will now direct all attention to implementing a shelter at Perk’s Court, said Laura Schwartz with the Chief Administrative Office. The Board of Supervisors will hear an additional report on the Perk’s Court site in July, which is currently in the pre-construction phase, confirmed Communications Director Carla Hass. County staff was directed by the Board of Supervisors in April to begin negotiations with the Broadway property owners to start a potential lease for purposes of a short-term, non-congregate homeless shelter. The property owners and the county were not able to reach an agreement on terms and staff recommended shelving the conversation June 28 at the Board of Supervisors’ regular Tuesday meeting.

Sheriff ‘appalled’ by DOJ data breach n CCW permit holders’ personal

info leaked

Tahoe Daily Tribune El Dorado County sheriff ’s officials last week said they were informed of an “unauthorized release of information” by the California Department of Justice containing personally identifiable information of the state’s concealed carry weapon holders, as well as possible firearms dealer record of sale information and other database information related to firearms ownership. The release was in conjunction with the DOJ’s launch of its 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal. The information released included but was not limited to, names, ages, date of birth and addresses of individuals who hold CCWs in California. After learning of the breach, sheriff ’s offices across the state immediately began a dialogue with DOJ, states a news release. DOJ advised it had pulled the dashboard and all related links down. DOJ officials informed the sheriff ’s office they are working with urgency to determine the scope and breadth of the information released, states Sgt. Eric n

Milton “Milt” Van Duyn July 1939 – May 2022

Milt passed away with his loved ones by his side at his home in Placerville. He was preceded in death by both of his parents and his older brother. He’s survived by his wife Barbara of 46 years, brother, son, daughter in law, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Milt was born and lived a short time in San Francisco before the family moved to San Mateo. At an early age he had a dream of being a restaurant owner. In preparation for this plan, he worked as a milk man in San Francisco and then a linesman with the Army for two years. At 26 he partnered up and opened The Red Rooster Restaurant in Walnut Creek. He loved business opportunities so during and after his restaurant experience, he flipped houses, built an apartment complex, built a country home, developed land and dabbled in other investments. He had a work ethic like no other and this was only exceeded by his love for and dedication to his family. Milt never met a stranger. He knew how to strike up conversations with people and have them in tears laughing over his life experiences by the time he was done talking to them. In younger years he was an avid bird hunter with his family and friends. After relocating from Pleasant Hill to Placerville in the 1970s he settled into fishing, camping and gardening as his main hobbies but always was tinkering with something. Milt was the patriarch of the family and a lot of things to a lot of people over his 82-year love-filled life. As a child he was called “Brovy” because his younger brother couldn’t pronounce “brother.” This name stuck with him and was used through an entire generation of family members. That was his first one but other names followed — Mill “T”, Opa, Gramps and my personal favorite, Dad. He will forever live in the hearts of many and never be forgotten.

Nancy E. Dreves

Mary K. Brancheau

Nancy Dreves, 76, went peacefully to be with our Lord June 22 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She is preceded in death by her parents Carl and Doris Dreves. She is survived by her brother Carl Dreves (Marty) and sister Ginny Cruz (Larry); nephews Jay Dreves (Yukiko), Brett Dreves (Olivia) and Darin Dreves (Junrong); numerous great nieces and nephews; and her teaching buddies and many friends. Nancy was a teacher in the Buckeye Union School District and retired in 2008 after 20 years of teaching. She traveled all over the United States and the world, visiting England, France, Spain and Morocco. She had a very adventurous life and loved her ballet classes. Nancy was a kind, happy and generous person and we loved her dearly. She is now in heaven with her relatives, friends and beloved cats. A gift in her name can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or any cat rescue or shelter of your choice. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.

Mary K. Brancheau, age 79 of Placerville, completed her life journey peacefully on June 23. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert H. and Marion E. Baglin; her son Gary J. Finley and the father of her children James A. Finley Jr. She is survived by her husband John Brancheau of Placerville; sister Elizabeth Stefanich of Fresno, Calif.; daughter Teri Williams (Dean) of Boise, Idaho; granddaughter Sarah Winegeart (Karsten) of Austin, Texas; grandson Brian Williams of Boise, Idaho; nieces and nephews Beth, Tracy, Eric, Michelle and Anthony and numerous friends. Mary Kay lived most of her life in Placerville. The Baglin family moved to the area in 1954 to purchase The Quality Shop, a fabric store located on Main Street in downtown Placerville. Mary Kay graduated from El Dorado High School in 1960. She attended Fresno State College and after marrying and starting a family in southern California, the Finley family moved to Placerville in 1972 to assume ownership of The Quality Shop when Mary Kay’s parents retired. On June 22, 1985 Mary Kay married John Brancheau. The couple recently celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. During their marriage they enjoyed spending time together, with family and with their pets, as well as gardening, pizza night, movies and entertaining. Mary Kay loved Placerville and was a vibrant member of the community, earning an AA in gerontology from American River College, volunteering for worthy organizations and for teaching classes in modeling, finishing, makeup, color analysis, ballet, manners and senior fitness. From 1979-81 Mary Kay served as the director for the Maid of El Dorado beauty pageant. Many years later she was honored to be named the 2010 El Dorado Rose, a recognition of women over 60 who are longtime Placerville residents that have dedicated their lives to giving back to the community. At the time she was quoted as saying “The great thing about being a candidate for El Dorado Rose is that it honors the person you have become, not what you aspire to be.” To her family, friends and acquaintances she was an inspirational, positive, loving and giving person who made us all better for having known her. How truly grateful I am to have a Mother who makes saying goodbye so hard. Rest easy in God’s loving arms. I love you my sweet Mother. -Teri The family will announce a celebration of life at a later date.

Wally Richardson

Oct. 19, 1923 – May 21, 2022

Wally Richardson (98 years young) passed away peacefully Saturday, May 21, with his wife Jenny of 64 years by his side. Together they raised four children Linda Gargiulo (Dave), Deborah Campbell (Brian), Stan Richardson (Sandy) and Susan Lehner (T.C.) Wally is also survived by his twin sister Virginia Dollarhyde and five grandchildren; Jennifer Gargiulo, Sean Campbell (Kylie), Carlee Kensiski (Trevor), Dani Campbell and Connor Lehner (Corie). Wally was able to meet and hold his new great-grandson, Keegan Campbell, shortly before his passing. Wally had a passion for flying from an early age. At 17 years old, he convinced his mother to sign for him so he could join the Navy. He was part of the first convoy to Pearl Harbor after the bombing, working as a radio operator and used his free time to earn flight hours. During the Korean War, Wally was a Corsair pilot flying off the destroyer, the USS Boxer. When he passed Wally was one of the last two survivors of his squadron. After the war, Wally went on to fly with United Airlines for 30 years, a dream come true. Along with flying, he worked in real estate and syndicated several partnerships, served in the Naval Reserves and retired as a Lt. Commander. Another passion of Wally’s was the forming of the love and kindness movement with Jenny. He loved sharing his thoughts and wisdom with the kids, encouraging them to “always be kind whenever possible ... and it’s always possible!” Wally’s face would light up when he saw the students. As he and Jenny passed out pens and bookmarks, Wally would share his Wallyisms, hoping to send a ripple of kindness into the world. Wally will be remembered for his infectious smile, love of jokes, great work ethic, perseverance of his dreams and his ability to never meet a stranger. His memory will be cherished by his family and community far and wide. Celebration of life will be held at Hills Church, 800 White Rock Road, El Dorado Hills Saturday, July 16 at 10 a.m. All are welcome.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

What is the underlying cause?

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

WORDS OF WISDOM Wisdom teeth extraction used to be routine, but current practices suggest that removal is not always necessary. If wisdom teeth are healthy, grown in completely, correctly positioned, biting properly, and easy to clean at home, removal may not be necessary. However, sometimes wisdom teeth don’t fully emerge or come in at an angle and crowd other teeth. They may be difficult to properly brush and floss. Impacted wisdom teeth (trapped under the gumline) can become infected and may damage other teeth and roots. Many dentists will remove wisdom teeth that don’t fully emerge by early adulthood. It is easier to remove them before the roots and bone are completely

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

formed, and the recovery time is faster in younger patients. Whether you come to us for examination of your wisdom teeth, cosmetic work, simple fillings, or complex restorations, any program we suggest for your dental health will be thoroughly discussed with you before we begin. When you are looking for state-of-the-art, personalized dentistry from people who really care, welcome to our office. Our dental team works smoothly and efficiently together, devoted to making your dental experience comfortable as well as enhancing. P.S. As we age, the bones in our mouth become harder, making wisdom teeth more difficult to remove.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

(530) 626-9127 Visit us at: www.jefflittledds.com

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

Increase Blow flow

Stimulate small fiber nerves

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

California Matters

How taxes are decided in California

et’s start with the premise that taxation is largely arbitrary. Despite efforts to frame tax policy in moral or at least philosophical terms, what or who is taxed and the form and level of that taxation merely Dan walters reflect current political priorities. Take, for example, South Lake Tahoe, a small city that sits on California’s border with Nevada. If you live in that city you pay the nation’s highest state income taxes. However, if your home is located a few feet to the east, inside Douglas County, Nevada, you pay no state income taxes. That explains why there’s a steady rivulet of high-income Californians resettling in Nevada, or at least changing their official addresses. If a couple of pending California ballot measures are approved in November, state taxes on the wealthy will increase even more and Nevada will become an even more popular tax refuge. California’s income taxes became the nation’s highest through a series Two pending of incremental decisions California made by legislators or voters and they now budget-related provide more than bills, one to tax two-thirds of the state’s lithium extraction general fund revenue. Nevada, on the other and another to hand, makes do without reduce taxes taxing incomes. on marijuana, So which state is correct? Neither. They demonstrate the just happened to take arbitrary nature different taxation paths of tax policy. for different reasons. The arbitrary nature of taxation is evident, too, within the California revenue system, particularly in sales taxes. One oddity is that cold food is not subject to taxation but hot food is and the differential can be very difficult to sort out. Some years ago, a movie theater chain asked the state Board of Equalization to shift popcorn from being a taxable hot food to a tax-free cold food. The rationale was that by the time theater patrons returned to their seats with popcorn in hand, it had turned cold. The board agreed. If someone buys computer software, such as Turbo Tax, in a store to file federal and state income tax returns, that purchase is subject to a sales tax. But if a large company obtains a custom computer program to prepare its tax returns, the purchase is free of sales taxes. Why? Because those

So I began to look around me at people who didn’t seem to need affirmation. Bus drivers. They treat everyone the same — very well. If they have a few minutes between buses, they wait outside of the buses cheerfully visiting with each other. We all follow their example while on the bus, showing consideration to each other. But the best examples I have found of civilized behavior here have occurred when I am on foot and so is the other person, when nobody has to pay attention to the oncoming traffic or the stop where they need to get off. Often there I am talking with a person who spends a lot of time on the street. Is this what they meant back in church school about an outward sign of an inward grace? Why didn’t they say so? These very well-mannered persons are under the impression that I have done something for them. Uh-uh. So, I was wondering, what if Jesus came back like that? ELIZABETH CAFFREY Placerville

Race track in trouble? EDITOR: he state of California could take away a local activity and family entertainment for residents and spectators from all over who come to see auto racing on one of the best dirt tracks left in Northern California. The property next to the track and the fairgrounds is being leased for 55 years by the state to a developer from Irvine to construct an 83-unit affordable housing project. When the apartments are completed, the new tenants will complain about the dust, the noise from the race cars and any other outdoor event to be held at the fairgrounds, including the fair itself. This will have an economic impact on the

fairgrounds as well as local businesses. However, the greatest loss will be to the families, fans and other spectators who come to this track on Saturday nights to watch the races and cheer for their favorite drivers. This dirt track is known nationwide. I personally have spent many a night in the grandstands with friends and later my wife and two sons watching these races since the track opened in the 1960s. My sons grew up at this track. I remember watching an outlaw super-stock race when it began to rain and thunder before the race was completed. We huddled with other spectators under the roof. I have been to that track every year except for military service. Since COVID-19 I have only gone once or twice to keep my stretch going. I intend to go this summer again and look forward to seeing the sons and grandsons of drivers I watched in the ‘60s. I have been on two pit crews, driven a race car and even carried our national flag on the parade lap before the racing started. Losing this dirt track will cause a great loss to many people for different and maybe personal reasons. We need to stop this now. There are other areas for affordable housing closer to Sacramento and jobs. I still have not figured out why the property is being leased instead of sold. What happens when the lease is up? Does the lease get renewed or someone else becomes the lessor? Demolition of the armory is leveling part of our history. Finally, if you have never been to a dirt track race anywhere, then go to this track on any Saturday night. A word of caution: Do not sit in the bottom left corner as you are facing the grandstands. This is where the mud flies and history is being made. BRIAN De BERRY Placerville

Dancing shoes and spending time on the ice

“Well she wears short shorts and rock ‘n’ roll shoes” — The Queen of the Hop, song by Bobby Darin, written by Harris Woody

get the short shorts, but what the heck are rock ‘n’ roll shoes? Michael Even though I prefer Bing, I Googled it and found rock ‘n’ roll shoes for sale. The song came out in 1958, but in 2022 one can still buy rock ‘n’ roll shoes. They are what I used to call saddle shoes. They are black and white and sell for about $30 for the women’s version. Men’s ballroom shoes are $59.50 and the black and white pattern is fancier. I learned to dance in the parish hall of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Vancouver, Wash. It was a big parish hall with a wooden floor. Being the 1950s, there were lots of kids learning to swing dance, cha-cha, foxtrot and waltz. I didn’t have rock ‘n’ roll shoes. My mom organized an annual

antique show fundraiser in the parish hall. It was a real money maker. Antique dealers came from all over. Antique shopping was popular then. I bought fancy napkin rings at the antique shows. They were very inexpensive then. I bring them out for dinner when we Raffety have our kids over. I still play ’50s music on my satellite radio. Sometimes I’ll shift to the ’60s station, but the DJ talks too much and not everything from the ’60s is that great. By the ’60s we had moved to Great Falls, Mont. My voice had changed so I dropped the choir and became an acolyte. After a summer of being a counselor at a Boy Scout camp in Lower St. Mary’s Lake just outside Glacier Park, I took a bus to catch up with my parents who had moved to Orangevale.

My theory was they spent too much time running wind sprints in full pads and not enough time practicing plays with or without pads. I attended American River Junior College for a semester and a half. I dropped out in the second semester and joined the Navy to avoid being drafted into the Army. And that pretty well finished off the 1960s. I hated wearing hats and cutting my hair short. If you fell asleep in the barber chair on base, they would give you a Marine hair cut instead of a carefully done sailor’s cut. But looking back I had to say it was quite an adventure. All the people in my avionics fundamentals class put in for the West Coast, while I put in for the East Coast just because I had never been there except when I was 12 and went to Washington, D.C.,

and New York City since my dad was an Army Reserve officer and was attending command college back east. The West Coasters often ended up in Japan or the Tonkin Gulf. My choice sent me to Germany and then a flight to Rota, Spain, where I eventually caught a military flight to Malta, where I picked up the aircraft carrier Saratoga, which was on a Mediterranean cruise. I presented my papers and saluted an ensign in a tweed jacket. He looked ready for liberty as soon as he could welcome me aboard and assign me to the scullery. Somewhere after port in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, I saw a notice seeking volunteers for Antarctic service. I filled out the paperwork and forgot about it.

who sell custom software lobbied the Legislature for an exemption in the 1980s. The Legislature, at the behest of Gov. Gavin Newsom, is on the verge of enacting a new and especially questionable tax anomaly. One budget trailer bill would impose a hefty new tax on the embryonic industry of extracting lithium from the brine of the Salton Sea in the Southern California desert. Lithium is the key ingredient of long-life, rechargeable batteries used in everything from cellphones to electric cars and immense electrical energy storage banks and therefore plays a key role

Letters

in the state’s drive to make itself carbon-free. Most lithium is imported from other countries, including China. The Salton Sea, however, is a potentially huge source of the mineral that, if developed, would both contribute to energy independence and create many new jobs in an economically depressed corner of the state. Lithium companies have warned that taxing extraction, $400 to $800 per metric ton, would make California lithium more expensive than imports and discourage investment in the industry, but were ignored. Another trailer bill, however, would give sellers

of legal marijuana a hefty cut in taxes, responding to their complaints that taxation makes their product too expensive vis-à-vis pot from illegal growers and sellers. So California politicians may be strangling an industry vital to their vision of a carbon-free future while encouraging — in essence, subsidizing — an industry that helps people get stoned. That’s about as arbitrary as it can get. Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

will solve the issue. So let’s look at the 33,000 people who die from gun shootings; 66% of gun deaths are suicides. We are one of the only countries that count suicide as a gun-related death. So there are roughly 11,000 non-suicide gun deaths every year. Approximately 1,000 people die from accidental discharge of a firearm, gun cleanings, etc. There are another 1,000 people shot in self-defense scenarios — home invasions or police shootings. So take these out of the equation and it’s 9,000 gun deaths a year; 90% of those are handguns used in gang-type violence like the recent shooting in Sacramento. That leaves about 1,000 gun deaths a year. How many of those are mental health related? I do not know. But I do know I’ve done nothing wrong and I don’t think the government taking away my right of self-protection solves the issue. Do you? If so, why? KEN STEERS Cameron Park

The nominees were broken down in categories of Small Business, Public Services and Neighbor. What sets Bethany apart from the thousands of other nominees? According to Kramer, who shared a quote posted on Bethany’s Facebook page, “Bethany spreads love wherever she goes.” Originally from San Jose, FieldhouseElliot moved to her small community of just 17 neighbors four years ago. Not one to be shy, she said she immediately introduced herself by knocking on her neighbor’s doors. Many of them, she said, didn’t even know each other. When her new home included a historical cemetery, Fieldhouse-Elliot joined Save the Graves, through which she educates the public on historic cemeteries in El Dorado County. And when she wanted to get more involved in her local school community, she volunteered for lunch duty at various elementary schools. Kramer said her positive energy and helpfulness made quite an impression on both students and staff. But it was after COVID hit, when Fieldhouse-Elliot used her fitness training background to bring her entire neighborhood together by offering outdoor Saturday morning exercise classes, which then extended to COVID friendly happy hours. Neighbors from other neighborhoods even began to join in. Kramer described how Bethany

would walk the neighborhood with her dog Kaber, delivering handmade invitations for her Socially Distant Happy Hour events and every Friday she would leave motivating text messages to her friends and neighbors to encourage them to attend her Saturday classes. “Showing a kind and caring heart and a close connection to all of us,” Kramer said, adding that FieldhouseElliot will often leave uplifting cards and caring notes when a friend or neighbor falls ill. “Bethany keeps our neighborhood connected and brings kindness and joy to all. In four years she has brought our neighborhood together, creating community and inspiring all of us to be better neighbors,” Kramer shared. “Our neighborhood is truly a happier, healthier and more connected place because of Bethany.” And in the true essence of what Nextdoor is all about, Kramer said that Bethany and her husband Steve are the first people to offer to lend a hand whenever anyone on Nextdoor asks for help. “They are absolutely amazing people,” Kramer said. “I was a little embarrassed, but at the same time it shows that anybody can build a community,” Bethany said. “We have all gotten to know each other and we now have a community that helps each other. This has fed my soul as much as my neighbors’.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take a step back and consider the evidence. You cannot know everything, but there are key questions you haven’t asked yet. For instance, “Who can help me with this?” and, “What would be simpler?” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Persistence pays off. It’s easier to be tenacious when you don’t have a lot of emotional baggage to lift through the process. You’ll eliminate anything that drags on your energy or pulls from your focus on one burning goal. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be inspired to clear your living space and get a new style flowing through your domestic world. Instead of increasing the number of things you own, scale down the number of things you want. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your image and what others think of you is only important to you insofar as it helps your effectiveness. You’ll get evidence that you’ve impacted someone’s life in a positive way, which is more precious to you than accolades. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Getting stressful work out of the way is a mood lifter. You’ll either do it now or decide to do it never. Either choice eliminates the problem and allows a happier, more peaceful version of yourself to emerge. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve gotten a good overview of what needs doing in your world. Though several areas could use attention, you will be better off focusing on just the part that interests you most. Go deep into one niche and become the expert. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a good guess

about what a person is thinking, though you could be wrong. Leave room in your imagination for different interpretations, especially if the first one is negative. It’s always wise to challenge assumptions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll see 10 possible solutions to a problem you used to think had just one. Tell the others. Many are stuck and need to hear new ideas. Even if they don’t decide to take it, you’ll get people thinking differently. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To change the behavior that’s holding you back, you first must identify it. If you’re missing a step or half-listening when your full attention is required, you’ll figure that out and fix it in time to seize a golden opportunity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your thoughts align in a neat and logical flow until a certain agent of chaos comes into your realm, causing an unpredictable ping-pong effect. There’s something creative about it, which you’ll realize after things calm down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s so much a part of you, you can’t see it, but the others will be impressed by your grit. It takes a good deal of the stuff to persevere through complexity, and even more to keep going through tedium. You have plenty. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Share the thinking behind your plans and goals. As you talk about why you want something, the one who can give it to you will understand your motivation and be more inclined to fulfill your need.

Sharing her knowledge Local Girl Scout ‘zooms’ into her Gold Award Jana Rossi Staff writer

irl Scout Gold Award recipient Emilee Johnson decided the best way she could leave a lasting impact on her community was through education. After recently graduating from Ponderosa High School with a 4.3 GPA, she said she knew she could pass her knowledge on to others, but didn’t want to help just anyone. Her goal, she maintained, was to focus on those kids who ultimately had nobody else to turn to, such as foster and low-income youth who reside within her community. She took notice of this demographic after a fundraising campaign she participated in through Hands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference. “These were the children I want to encourage,” she told the Mountain Democrat. Utilizing the web conferencing platform Zoom, Zooming into Tutoring — a virtual tutoring service was created. Her services were free of charge and by way of media campaigns and cold calling, she contacted various foster agencies and families she thought might be interested in her services. The project from start to finish took her just less than two years. Using websites and videos, she trained herself on how to tutor and her knowledge was then captured in documents and slideshows so volunteers had access to learn. Through the California Scholarship Federation she was able to locate volunteers. Emilee was faced with issues that went beyond tutoring throughout her endeavor, she shared; she had to learn how to encourage her students when they lost motivation and help them when they faced other challenges. A requirement that must be met for the Girl Scout Gold Award is that the project must be sustainable. In order to accomplish this, Emilee published an online tutoring resource guide, giving others access for years to come in order to “make a difference themselves.” “This project was more than just achieving an award, but truly making an impact on these children and motivating others to do the same,” Emilee said.

Ponderosa High School graduate Emilee Johnson has a new certificate in her collection — the Girl Scout Gold Award. “Through this experience, I was able to broaden a variety of skills I will keep with me for the rest of my life such as resilience and empathy. Not only this, but the ability to take accountability for my mistakes while overcoming and learning from them. “This project was anything but easy but I’d gladly do it again if it meant helping even more people,” she concluded. This fall Emilee will attend University of California, Davis. She’s majoring in aerospace engineering. She credits her 11 years of being in Girl Scouts to the person she is today. She describes herself as “a strong woman with the life skills to not only succeed but to help others.”

“Through the years I was granted opportunities to support the needs of my community and others,” Emilee shared. “As stated in the Girl Scout Law, I made and will continue to ‘make the world a better place.’ I hope to continue helping my community, especially on a large scale through technological innovation and compassion.” The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can receive and only about 5% earn this coveted honor. Emilee asked that a special thanks be given to her family for their unconditional support, her project advisor, Mrs. Hodson, Troop 1234 and Briana and Kaityln, who have stuck by her side through the years.

Sagehen Trail

he open meadow of Sagehen Trail is but one reason to make the drive east on Interstate 80 to Truckee. The wildflowers in their season are another. Stampede Reservoir spread out at your feet is still another. This easy 2.5-mile one-way stroll means many people can enjoy this walk. Being on the east side and home to numerous poplar trees means it’s an autumn hiking destination as well. Signage is nonexistent so let me try to narrow it down for you. From Interstate 80 east take the Sierraville exit north to Highway 89. Go straight through both round-a-bouts toward Sierraville. Look for a concrete bridge 7 to 8 miles up the road marked Sagehen Creek. Look for cars parked off the road near the bridge on both sides. If you get to the Little Truckee River crossing you went too far.

Photos by Mary West

Stampede Reservoir is a beautiful site on the Sagehen Trail. As the trail is higher up in the mountains, it’s a cool summer hike. The trail follows the creek and takes you back to Stampede Reservoir and along its length. In mid-June the bright yellow Mountain Mule’s Ear lined the trail and large swaths of the blooms covered parts of the meadow. Butterflies and lizards joined us along the trail along with the constant melody of birdsong. We found a beaver pond, no beavers swimming, but keep an eye out. Once you reach the reservoir and take in the view, take a few steps back and look south for a trail through a group of trees just short of the reservoir. A makeshift n

creek crossing gets you alongside the reservoir and to an even more expansive meadow. Sierra shooting stars and creamy white bistort grows along the narrow streams that lead to the reservoir. The highlight of this trail, if you hit it at the right time in spring, is seeing the meadow filled with deep purple Quamash camas lilies. This is also a good summer trail as it is at the 6,000-foot elevation and takes a few degrees off the oppressive valley temperatures. Walking through this lush meadow below pine dotted hills in the Sierra is a special opportunity not dulled by

The StanCoFair has always focused on its mission of promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and technology. There are abundant animals every day of the fair. No missing “Cow Day” here. You can learn about the abundant tech and ag projects in the Central Valley. And the entertainments always have something unique. This year, in addition to the free concerts, there are some events for an extra ticket fee: tractor pulls, destruction derby, a PCRA rodeo, a Mexican rodeo and there will be Portuguese bloodless bullfights for one night only (July 10). If you grew up in the Sacramento area, or if your grandparents did, you might be aware of the Portuguese community of farmers who settled the Pocket and Carmichael areas, as well as further

down the Central Valley. A Portuguese “festa” included church processions, beautiful costumes and very often a bloodless bullfight. Yes, you read correctly. Bloodless. No animals killed in the ring, but with all the cape work and risk for the humans. This is an opportunity to experience the Portuguese culture as Californians could 100 years ago. If you are of Portuguese heritage, this alone is worth your family’s time. The StanCoFair opens at noon on weekends and at 5 p.m. on weekdays. Exhibits close at 11 p.m. and the Midway closes at midnight. The Turlock Fairfield Inn and Holiday Inn Express offer good rates to fair attendees. I recommend them, because in addition to the excellent service, an overnight stay makes the drive home so much easier the next day after a big evening at the fair. Visit stancofair.com for ticket prices, directions, schedules and more.

“world of tomorrow.” True to that concept, the State Fair focuses on educating and recognizing the advances in agriculture made by ranches, farms and wineries, plus special exhibits. Two of these are one on water conservation and another on the history of growing cannabis in the Golden State. One experience for the palate is called “Taste of CA: Coffee 101 – a UC Davis Coffee Center Taste Experience.” Learn about different coffees and what makes each distinctive. The “Taste” series continues with other events such as tea tasting, honey tasting and more. And what would the State Fair be without a cinnamon roll from the County Exhibits in Building B? This building is thought of as the “heart of the fair” because many counties proudly showcase their agricultural and industrial treasures there. Visit the website, calexpostatefair.com, for admission fees, discounts, concert schedules and fair hours.

Big fun at Cal Expo

Why not do both?

The California State Fair & Food Festival is located on the Cal Expo fairgrounds in Sacramento. It opens on July 15 and runs through July 31. Like its counterpart to the south, the CA State Fair was shut down during the pandemic and returns to us this summer. The fair did a pivot in 2019, adding the food festival to attract more fairgoers. A food festival pass is extra ($28 for $40 value in food), in addition to fair admission. The feel of the Cal Expo campus is industrial. Lots of asphalt and concrete, complete with a monorail that harkens back to Walt Disney and the 1960s. The original fairgrounds near Land Park were torn down generations ago to create a forward thinking

At the close of the movie “Trading Places,” the characters are debating whether to have “the lobster or the cracked crab.” The answer is: “Can’t we have both?” It’s up to you. Each of these fairs, so similar and yet so distinctively their own, is worth your time. They show us where we are and show us where we can be. All while providing fun, entertainment and tasty treats for nearly the entire month of July. Happy summer! Send your event for consideration in Susan’s column to slaird@handywriting.com.
