EDH Fire donates engine to Pioneer Noel Stack Managing editor
Mountain Democrat photo by Noel Stack
EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson and Pioneer Fire Protection District Chief David Whitt share a laugh during a special event at which EDH Fire presented Pioneer FPD with a donated engine.
Call it the beginning of a beautiful friendship. El Dorado Hills Fire Department and Pioneer Fire Protection District staff met July 14 at Pioneer’s Mount Aukum station to share stories, shake hands and celebrate a new role for an older engine. EDH Fire donated a Type 1 wildland/urban engine to its southeastern neighbor. The engine had been used as a reserve engine in El Dorado Hills and now takes on that same role in Pioneer. “The timing couldn’t be better,” said Pioneer Fire Chief David Whitt, explaining that some of the district’s vehicles have of late been plagued with mechanical issues. EDH Fire bought the engine new in 2000, according to EDH Fire Chief Maurice Johnson, and has meticulously maintained the apparatus to ensure its longevity. “It
has bounced around, covering for engines that have been down,” he said. The district could have sold the engine for about $50,000, the chief estimated, but said EDH Fire would rather donate it to a neighbor in need. “The fact that we’re getting this engine with their board’s blessing and our board’s blessing is unbelievable,” noted Whitt, who credits the smooth process to the relationship he and Johnson have — the two have known each other a number of years as they both served in Sacramento region fire districts prior to making the move to El Dorado County. Pioneer Fire Protection District covers about 300 square miles of rural terrain with one engine, shared Capt. Scott Ramsey, and the district’s backup is in the shop. Motioning to the new/old fire engine in the driveway, ready for the ceremonial push, Ramsey added, “Having this backup is huge for us.” n

Church in El Dorado Hills Saturday to fondly remember local legend Wally Richardson, hearing heroic tales about his time in the Navy as well as about a hilariously won talent competition during which he wore wife Jenny’s bathing suit. Known for his words of wisdom (aka “Wallyisms”), infectious smile, enthusiastic wave and nonstop optimism, Wally touched many during his time in the community, including the countless elementary and middle school students he greeted and gave “k-nuckles” (fist bumps) during his morning walks.

Grandson Connor Lehner shared that he loved his grandfather’s “boyish and joyful energy, “adding that Wally could always make him smile, even on bad days. “You might have forgotten what he said but you never forgot how he made you feel,” added Wally’s nephew Greg Dollarhyde, who said he also appreciated his uncle’s sense of humor that started the day he was born.

After almost six years of service to students in the community, Rescue Union School District Board of Education member Tagg Neal resigned from his role July 11. “Tagg has been an absolute pleasure to work with and Rescue (Union) is a much better place as a result of his commitment, involvement and leadership. I wish him nothing but the best,” said Superintendent Jim Shoemake. President of the RUSD Board Michael Gordon said, “It has been an honor and a privilege serving with Tagg. I know I speak for the entire board in saying that we are a better governance team and Rescue is a better district because of his service.” Longtime board member Nancy Brownell added, “Tagg has been such a valuable and contributing member of our governance team. We will miss his insights and thoughtful questions, yet understand his decision to step away from the board to balance his family and professional priorities.”

California Commentary
The attorney general’s taxpayerfunded political advertising
W
e hate to pick on Attorney General Rob Bonta two weeks in a row, but he’s really given us no choice. Last week we chronicled his hypocrisy on data privacy by posturing as a champion on that issue while Jon Coupal negligently allowing his Department of Justice to release sensitive information on Californians who hold carry concealed weapons permits. What spurred today’s critique was an article in the Sacramento Bee with the headline, “Why is California’s Attorney General spending taxpayer money to send you emails?” First, a hat tip to the Sacramento Bee — typically no friend of conservatives — and its reporter Ryan Sabalow. The article reports that two months before the June primary election, millions of California voters received an email from Bonta’s Department of Justice with the subject line, “I want to hear from you.” The message was from an official email account and reads, “As Attorney General, protecting California and its people is my highest priority” and “your opinion truly matters to me.” Those receiving the email might have wondered what it was all about. After all, it is unusual to receive an unsolicited email from a state agency unless you’ve opted in to remain informed on a particular topic. But it’s really no mystery at all. Prior to the primary election, Bonta was serving as the appointed, but unelected, attorney general. No doubt that his name ID wasn’t very high and he was willing to do anything possible to elevate his profile. That’s one reason he directed his staff — shortly after his appointment — to include his smiling visage on these email solicitations to as many as 7 million voters. The Bee article, citing several sources, accurately notes that what Bonta did was technically legal, even if ethically questionable. Indeed, the question of the extent to which elected officials or government agencies expend taxpayer dollars for political advocacy or “self-promotion” is one the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association gets a lot. In fact, our Public Integrity Project was formed precisely to monitor and to litigate when necessary illegal expenditures of public funds for illegal activity. Fortunately, HJTA has had a string of successes n

Letters to the Editor Is affordable housing a myth? EDITOR: he burning question today is “What is affordable housing?” After 2 1/2 hours attending the recent meeting of the “Gang of Five” and their appointed planning commissioners plus county staff and consultants on the TV monitor, it became very clear to me “affordable housing” is a myth. It belongs in stories to be told around campfires in years to come like those of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, the unicorn, maybe even the tooth fairy. “Affordable housing” could be Frankenstein if it is allowed to be used by those who wish to control us with it like “global warming” and all the other controlling issues lamented by the environmental groups. These groups for the most part are the useful camp followers of the elites who wish to have world domination, in my opinion, like that in the movie “The Hunger Games.” If we are not vigilant, we could very well wind up living in this scenario — a place we would obviously not like to be. To have “affordable housing” is a worthy vision. Everybody wants “affordable housing” — the buyers, the homeowners, even the government for various reasons public and not so public. With that in mind, in my opinion, in this county for instance: 1. Is there a need? 2. Is there infrastructure to accommodate it? 3. Are there enough jobs to help the buyers and homeowners afford even this housing? 4. Do we have enough housing to meet the demands of the local community? There are more. However, these are a starting point. Take, for example, the Dorado Oaks subdivision pending approval by the county. Is there a pool of local buyers that needs this subdivision for affordable housing? Or is this like the plot of the movie “Field of Dreams.” Build it and they will come. Are we building for the needs of local residents or are we subsidizing people to move here from other places? Are we building it for the tax base of the county or to fulfill a political obligation?
T
Does Dorado Oaks have the surrounding infrastructure to accommodate the increased demand that will be put upon it by this subdivision without public funds or “gimmes” by the county? In my opinion, the answer is an emphatic NO! The roads are crap, the water situation is questionable in any year because of Mother Nature and an inadequate water system for delivery. Because of this, fire safety is a big question. Is there the potential for a “gimme” or two? YES! First will be approval based upon the use of a roundabout that will require the demolition of one historical landmark and a recent landmark used by current residents (This will save the developer lots of money, maybe $250,000 vs. $4 million to $6 million for signals).

Changes EDITOR: believe that except for the love of God, nothing is permanent but change. However, the changes we presently face are predominantly evil, designed to harm all life on Earth. This letter will suggest positive reactions to the evils we face. Wherever I look I find evidence of changes: chemtrails in the air, fluoride in the water, graphene oxide in vaccines, GMO food and rampant fraud everywhere. I believe these changes have been designed to kill us. Elitists want humanity to die. Those who survive will be chipped to be controlled as servants to the wealthy. We the people must rise up against this tsunami of evil. We must inform ourselves of this changing reality and devise ways we can push back. Any pushback is better than no pushback. Tyranny persists only as long as people permit it. Pushbacks against tyranny are occurring in Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and Holland. Citizens there rebelled against their tyrannical rulers and refused to obey their decrees. An informed populace that resists tyranny always causes corrupt politicians to

Energy is our life blood. production in the Permian Basin located in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, which makes up 43% of American production. And you think gas prices are high now? Oil just isn’t transportation; it is food, plastic, rubber, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and so many other industries. Energy is our life blood. Going back to the SPR, where is that oil going? Already five million barrels have been exported with more than a million barrels going to China. That’s right, China. Is this because of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden or some other reason? How much money was made on the sale and by whom? A million barrels of oil is worth about $100 million. We were told the SPR release was to help Americans (and to buy votes). It hasn’t lowered gas prices —another Biden “accomplishment.” A recent report demonstrates that the slight drop in oil prices over the last month or so is due to a drop in demand. Many Americans simply can’t afford it. If you are a believer in electric vehicles and the “we don’t need oil crowd,” remember 20% of petroleum
is used by air transportation and another large percentage by our military. A recent test by some journalists demonstrated some shortcomings of EVs. In a head-tohead, side-by-side test of the new Ford Electric Lightning pickup vs. a GMC gas pickup — each towing identical 6,000-pound trailers — the Ford with an advertised range of 300plus miles was out of juice in only 85 miles. Less than a mile per kWh. And it took 45 minutes to charge to just 74%. That equates to an electric, 80,000-pound semi requiring four to five times the battery capacity once thought. For the Ford pickup to tow that trailer at 65 mph for 300 miles at a total weight of 12,000 pounds would require at least a 4,000-pound battery (that would cost about $68,000). An 80,000-pound semi will require at least a 30,000-pound battery, meaning a useful cargo weight of perhaps less than 30,000 pounds (with 50,000 pounds of truck, batteries and chassis weight). And the cost? Fuhgeddaboudit. Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Goals within your reach are somehow less appealing to you. Extraordinary aims will take considerably more time, and planning will involve risk, rejection, sweat and tears. You thrill to this kind of challenge. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A plan, however informal it may be, will change everything. Forethought will make a difference in the plot of your day and, by extension, your life. Your focused energy will attract people to your side. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re creative now, though perhaps a bit scattered, too. You may have to chase around your own mind to bring it back to the task at hand. You will get the satisfaction of a small but significant breakthrough. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You prefer people to be direct with you. It saves you from having to puzzle out their motives, needs and wants. By showing an open and forgiving nature, you’ll make it easy for people to be honest with you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Before a person can get on the inside of your life, you figure out how much you know, like and trust them. You have some contenders around you today. You’ll put people to the test, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s like you were meant to lead. You’ll express yourself with an easy confidence. People step out of your way. Without being bossy or overbearing, you’ll just naturally run things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). How people handle defeat and difficulty is very telling, and it’s even more telling how they handle success. Your character will be on display today as you modestly handle a win. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This will be a day of interesting contrasts and conflicting interests, some of them existing inside of you. Part of you wants to comply; the other part wants to rebel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary isn’t always effort, talent, positioning or anything else easily controllable. Sometimes it’s just a mood, a certain lighting or timing. The X-factor favors you today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Brain scans can tell us which part of the brain is firing off neurons, but they can’t show us the thoughts and visions that light up the ultimate privacy of the mind. Your private thoughts will be most amusing today! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s easier to understand a clear whisper than an unclear shout. You won’t have to be loud or showy to get your point across. Someone will pick up on your subtle and very well-articulated message. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It behooves you to move beyond the transactional nature of a relationship and into a more comprehensive understanding of the other person. Learn who they are in contexts beyond the ones you already know.

the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.” Recounting Wally’s time in the Navy during World War II and the Korean War, friend and fellow veteran John Poimiroo called him a hero more super than anything Marvel Comics could create. Wally was named El Dorado County’s 2018 Veteran of the Year. Noting Wally’s determination and perseverance not only to become a pilot but also serve in combat, Poimiroo quoted a favorite Wallyism: “Nothing is impossible. Even the end of the word is ‘possible.’” Another Wallyism mentioned: “The sign of a beautiful person is they always see beauty in others.” Thousands saw beauty in Wally and now his family hopes each person he touched during his life will pass on that beauty to others.

projects by the end of the year. The hotel and entertainment complex project is the first major expansion since Red Hawk Casino’s opening in 2008. The new 120,000-square-foot hotel will feature five stories, with 150 deluxe guest rooms, including 25 suites. Guests will also enjoy a stunning outdoor terrace with a pool and fitness center. Additionally, Red Hawk Casino will open an 85,000-squarefoot amusement center with the
only multi-level, indoor electric go-kart track in California. Plans also include an 18-lane, stateof-the-art, interactive bowling alley and roaming virtual reality gaming rooms, an arcade, golf simulation bays and a sports bar to watch Sacramento Kings games, potentially deep into the playoffs with the additions of college all American and Big 10 Tournament MVP Keegan Murray and free agents Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter.

management. City documents show the contract to graze roughly 53 acres on the three properties is $31,341. Goats arrived at Gold Bug Park last week, where 40 acres of the park is considered “the most immediate concern” due to its narrow roads and wooded, sloped terrain that abutts neighborhoods, according to a report by Community Services Department staff. On Thursday the hooved firefighters seemed to be especially enjoying devouring thorny blackberry bushes at Gold Bug. The goats will also eat up almost 14 acres at three
other sites — the Mallard Lane water reclamation facility, along Ray Lawyer Drive and at Duffy Park. Costs to contract grazing on 13.54 acres across those city parcels is $10,708. Last year the Placerville City Council appropriated just over $400,000 of American Rescue Plant Act funds to pay for goat grazing. City of Placerville officials ask that children and leashed pets be kept away from temporary fencing while the goats graze each site. Watching from a distance is acceptable.

n a scenic knoll in Gold Hill about 50 miles east of Sacramento lies the singular grave of Okei, the first Japanese woman and immigrant buried on American soil. After her untimely death in 1871, one or more of Okei’s fellow colonists procured her stately gravestone that has withstood the elements for more than 120 years. If not for this precious gift, Okei’s life and the history of the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony may have been lost in time. Sometime after the Japanese centennial year of 1969, her gravestone was badly cracked and repaired. In 2011 a group of concerned residents decided the stone was too vulnerable to remain on Okei’s grave. By then, the American River Conservancy owned Okei’s gravesite and the surrounding 272acre property now called Wakamatsu Farm. As Okei has no known family, ARC acted swiftly to replace the stone with a replica that remains on her grave. By then, her marker already had a kindred replica stone in Aizu Wakamatsu, Japan, created decades prior for a mountaintop memorial site in honor of Okei’s American pioneer story. For more than a century Okei’s grave at Wakamatsu Farm has been a place of pilgrimage for people of Japanese heritage. Her life and death are representative of the first generation of Japanese immigrants and their struggles in pursuit of the American dream. Honoring the departed has deep personal and spiritual meaning in many cultures and, it seems, particularly for the Japanese. What to do with a priceless, oneof-a-kind, vulnerable and symbolic artifact removed from its original place, yet still so steeped in thoughts and prayers? The future of Okei’s original gravestone was bound to become a dilemma for its present caretaker. Operating primarily as a land trust for over three decades, ARC acquires and preserves open lands in the American River and Cosumnes River watersheds to protect in perpetuity. With a land portfolio of more than 28,000 protected acres, ARC currently retains and manages about 11,000 acres, of which Wakamatsu Farm is but a tiny fraction. The conservancy has
no foreseeable funding nor missioncritical priority to display, secure or protect a museum-quality item for the rest of time. Practical infrastructural improvements, including a new education center, remain great priorities at the working farm. In fact, most Wakamatsu Farm visitors, including all disabled guests, have not seen Okei’s original gravestone since it was removed from her grave. Discussions started about donating the artifact to a museum. The move would secure its preservation and slow its deterioration. Wider public viewing could bring other advantages. More broadly telling the first Japanese immigrants’ touching story may benefit communities in both America and Japan. Yet there remains a concept that some historians call “the power of place.” Worthy objects remain most significant where they originate. Given hard facts and conflicting opinions, ARC decided to conduct a community dialog to determine the future of Okei’s gravestone. To provide an accurate context for the dialog, ARC documented the artifact’s history, published a survey and hosted a live, recorded call. Anyone could participate in the dialog and many joined. ARC posed the primary question: to donate or not to donate the artifact to a third party? The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles was a proposed recipient. ARC also encouraged all suggestions, comments, recommendations and any other proposed recipients of the artifact. To communicate the dialog, ARC contacted more than 500 individuals and news affiliates with particular focus on Japanese American communities. ARC also invited friends in Japan to join the dialog. For many, the process and results of the dialog were surprising, even delightful. Some expressed disappointment or a dilemma in even considering the question. For others, it was an illuminating opportunity to appreciate and respect the dedicated work of ARC, its many supporters and the ongoing challenges of managing the dynamics of a landmark farm. Many praised ARC for inviting community input while making a complex decision in such a conscientious and transparent way. The survey gathered results for nearly two months and yielded 73

If you have flown over the San Francisco Bay in recent years, coming from or going into one of the international airports, you likely have witnessed an invasion — a plant invasion. In the early 1990s there were open mudflats and salt marshes that by the late 1990s had turned into vast meadows of hybrid, not native, cordgrass. During the 2000s a concerted effort was made to control the cordgrass and for the last 10 years the focus has been on restoring the salt marshes with native cordgrass plantings. On July 26 the El Dorado Chapter of the California Native Plant Society will present the latest information on this invasion. Debra Ayres, Ph.D., chapter vice president and former
scientist at University of California, Davis will discuss the biology of the invasion after the 1970s introduction of East Coast cordgrass into San Francisco Bay by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Immediately following there will be a video from the Invasive Spartina Project detailing the extensive monitoring and expensive control work and now restoration of native marshes that the ISP has engaged in since 2004. The video, “Restoring Native Tidal Marsh Habitat and Promoting Resilience in a Changing Bay Ecosystem,” is presented by biologists Jeanne Hammond and Lindsey Domecus. The Invasive Spartina Project on San Francisco Bay presentation takes place 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 26, via Zoom at tinyurl.com/EDC-CNPSJuly-mtng.

Food bank partnership changes lives in a ‘big’ way News release Big Brothers Big Sisters Northern Sierra and the Food Bank of El Dorado County recently made a big impact. With the rising cost of gas, food and most of everything else on the market, it’s really hard for many families in communities throughout El Dorado County to make ends meet. The dedicated staff at BBBS approached the food bank to help the families Big Brothers Big Sisters serves. After discussion, it was decided to invite everyone to a special shopping distribution at the food bank in Cameron Park. Word got out quickly announcing a one time opportunity to shop at the facility. During the twohour event, food bank staff and volunteers saw close to 100 families pushing carts up and down the aisles, collecting fresh produce, fresh fruits, breads, cheese, milk, chicken and miscellaneous items from the bins of canned goods. The shopping spree also included toiletry and household items that had been donated by the community. The BBBS staff also prepared for the kids while the parents shopped by hosting a cupcake walk, a prize wheel and games to keep them entertained. Gift cards were provided to each child who attended the outreach by the food bank. At the end of the day, shoppers were able to access hundreds of dollars worth of food for their families during this time of need in the community. Special thanks go to Todd White, Brenda Frachiseur, Chelsea and Amber from Big Brothers Big Sisters and David Morla and Mike Sproull from the food bank. Together this team made a difference to many neighbors right here in El Dorado County.

Gravestone
Continued from 8
responses. More than 53% said the artifact should be donated while 32% indicated it should remain at Wakamatsu Farm. About 15% were uncertain. Respondents recommended more than 20 institutions that might accept the donation. About 30 people attended the live dialog and nearly all spoke passionately. Opinions aired on both sides. The prevailing sentiment, particularly among Wakamatsu Farm docents, favored keeping the gravestone at Wakamatsu Farm. Most who
participated in the discussion and responded to the survey were Japanese or Japanese American. ARC’s board of directors met in June to examine the topic and evaluate the dialog data. They deliberated then unanimously concluded to keep the artifact at Wakamatsu Farm. What happens now to Okei’s gravestone at Wakamatsu Farm remains to be determined. To make these decisions, ARC’s board also approved the formation of a special committee. The ideal
committee will represent members of the Japanese American community and invite consultation from historians, curators and spiritual leaders, among others. To inquire, volunteer or make recommendations about Okei’s grave committee, contact wakamatsu@ ARConservancy.org or call (530) 621-1224. Contact the same to view the community dialog documentation, including the survey results and the recorded call.
