or 18 years the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit has delivered toys and holiday joy to New Morning Youth & Family Services’ Ashby House in Placerville. The unit was joined by firefighters with the Cameron Park Fire Department and Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District, who on Wednesday morning made trip after trip from their fire trucks to the Ashby House, putting presents under the youth shelter’s Christmas tree. “This is incredible. This is so amazing,” said New Morning Executive Director Victor Antonio.
SACRAMENTO — The 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission has approved final maps for the state’s congressional districts. The new district lines were revealed last week, showing, as draft maps reflected, that El Dorado County will no longer entirely be in Congressional District 4 but divided between Districts 3 and 5. District 3 will stretch from Warner Valley in Plumas County to the north, through Nevada and Placer counties and much of eastern El Dorado County, including the Tahoe Basin, and down to Inyo County on its southernmost edge. District 5’s north end appears to be just above Coloma, according to the commission’s final map, and from there covers Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa counties, along with parts of Stanislaus and Fresno counties to the south. The change puts Georgetown, Pollock Pines, Grizzly Flat and communities near those in District 3. El Dorado Hills, Shingle Springs, Placerville and Mt. Aukum are covered by District 5. The new district lines will be in effect for the 2022 election, leaving District 4 Republican incumbent Tom McClintock and Democratic challenger Dr. Kermit Jones to decide which

El Dorado County West Slope growth factors became a major talking point at a Capital Improvement Program and Traffic Impact Fees workshop in the Board of Supervisors chambers Dec. 14. Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez and senior traffic civil engineer Natalie Porter led the conversation on the programs, providing information on both and recapping projected growth rates on the county’s West Slope. A Traffic Impact Fee program is used to fund road improvements, including road widening, new roadways and roadway intersections, among other improvements to accommodate future growth during a 20-year growth span. The fee is paid by developers. The Mountain Democrat previously reported that the program is estimated to bring in more than $322 million from 2020 to 2040. A Capital Improvement Program is a planning tool used by local governments to identify capital improvement projects intended to built over a certain time, 20 years for the county, including roadway improvements. Capital improvement programs provide information for each project, including schedules, cost and funding sources. Traffic Impact Fees help fund the improvement program, but are not the only funding source. In 2019 the board approved both housing and job projections presented by real estate consulting company BAE Urban Economics. The approved West Slope growth rates were 0.7% annually from 2018 to 2040 for a total of 9,174 new housing units (54,921 housing units existed n

Marva Edwards
Oct. 29, 1938 – Dec. 9, 2021
Marva Edwards, 83, of Placerville passed peacefully Dec. 9 with her family by her side. Marva was born in Bell Gardens, Calif., to Lois and Jerry Brown Oct. 29, 1938. Her family relocated to the Placerville area in 1945. Marva finished her elementary schooling at the Cold Springs school, a one room schoolhouse where her mother taught all grades. Upon graduation from the eighth grade she went on to El Dorado High School where she was a cheerleader and editor of the high school yearbook. During her high school years she was also voted Wagon Train Queen in 1955 and rode a horse in the annual wagon train down Highway 50 from Stateline, Nev., to Placerville. After graduating from high school, Marva moved to South Lake Tahoe and lived in a small house her father built. Her first job was as a waitress at the Y Coffee Shop. She also was a maid and a sales girl for a short time before working at Bank of America at the Tahoe Valley Y branch. While working at the bank she met her future husband Bill Edwards. After three years of courtship they married Oct. 1, 1960 in Carson City, Nev. The wedding reception was held at Ski Run Lodge which was owned by her in-laws Rudy and Trudy Gersick. They relocated to Placerville, again, and they were married 61 years. Bill and Marva became partners not only in marriage but in business as well. They started in the excavating and paving business in 1965 and continued until they retired in the year 2000. In retirement, one of Marva’s favorite pastimes was traveling in their trailer or flying away to far away places. Marva and Bill had three lovely daughters. Marva put a big emphasis on family. She loved planning family get-togethers, outings, camping trips and travel to tropical places. She had photo albums of places the family had visited and held those memories dear. Marva had a good, full and happy life although she battled Parkinson’s disease for the last 35 years. She is survived by her husband Bill Edwards of Placervilles; her daughters Jody, Terry and Tracy; sons-in-law Sean and Mike and her grandchildren Paige, Courtney, Sierra and Hunter. Marva was loved by her family and will be missed. Celebration of life will be held Jan. 9, 2022 at Cold Springs Golf and Country Club in Placerville starting at noon. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Snowline Hospice.
State takes new action in pandemic required in healthcare workers News release SACRAMENTO – Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced new booster requirements and testing measures for Californians as the Omicron variant becomes the dominant COVID-19 strain in the nation. The COVID-19 booster requirement for healthcare workers is hoped to mitigate potential staffing shortages. By Feb. 1, 2022, healthcare workers and all employees in high-risk congregate settings, including nursing homes, will be required to get their booster, according to the Governor’s Office. In the interim all healthcare staff who have not received a booster must test for COVID-19 twice weekly until up to date on vaccines. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in schools, the state officials say they are increasing the availability of at-home COVID-19 tests across California so K-12 public-school students can be tested as they return to

will be working closely with the governor and California’s public health and emergency management personnel to get testing supplies to families, districts and schools.” Officials say they will also be expanding antigen test availability and hours of operation at state-sponsored OptumServe sites already at capacity. About 90% of the population lives within a 30-minute driving distance of a testing site, according to the Governor’s Office. Over the course of the pandemic, the state has established 6,288 testing sites statewide, comprising 31% of the nation’s testing sites. In support of this effort, since August, the state reports it has purchased more than 12 million over-the-counter tests. CDPH is distributing an additional 6 million tests to community partners serving disproportionately impacted Californians and 4 million to local health jurisdictions. To date, California has administered more than 64 million vaccination doses and more than 116 million tests, with an average turnaround of 48 hours, according to state data.

school from winter break. In early December the California Department of Public Health distributed approximately 2 million tests to schools for this purpose. CDPH will expand those efforts by providing one to two rapid tests for every student. CDPH will work with local education and health partners to distribute those test kits as quickly and efficiently as possible. “As the Omicron variant spreads rapidly across the country and circulates in all regions of the state, we’re taking immediate, proactive steps to protect Californians with boosters and expanded access to testing,” said Newsom. “The state is also redoubling our efforts to keep kids safe and keep schools open. We will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities by making at-home testing kits available to every K-12 public school student as they head back to the classroom from winter break.” “As we fight Omicron, there is nothing more important for our kids than keeping schools safely open — that means deploying rapid tests,” said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. “Over the holiday break, CDE

Phoenix the fox, so named because she rose from the ashes of the Caldor Fire, was not able to fully rehabilitate to be released back into the wild.
PETA seeks cruelty charges for Smiths Thomas Frey Staff writer The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals requested that El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson add cruelty-to-animal charges to the arson charges David Scott Smith and Travis Shane Smith already face in connection with allegedly starting the Caldor Fire. “While it’s well known that the Caldor Fire destroyed more than 1,000 homes and other structures and more than 346 square miles of land, what might be less known is that catastrophic fires also cause many domestic and wild animals to endure terror, suffering and prolonged, agonizing deaths,” PETA officials state in a Dec. 20 letter to Pierson. The letter cites animal injuries caused by the blaze, including a black bear’s paws burned so severely the animal had to be euthanized.
The Smiths were released on bail after their attorneys fought for their bail to be lowered from $1 million to $50,000 or less following their arrest Dec. 8. A fox named Phoenix was also injured in the Caldor Fire. For more than two months Sierra Wildlife Rescue rehabbed Phoenix, who was found with extensive burns on her paws. SWR rehabbers initially thought the fox would become healthy enough to return to the wild, but it was determined she would not survive in the wild due to the severity of injuries to her claws. Phoenix has been transported to Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue where she will be kept in a big enclosure and serve as an educational animal to teach people about foxes. “The suffering that animals endured in this fire must not be ignored,” PETA officials conclude in their letter.

Enrollment declines squeeze local school finances
T

Throughout the state, local school systems pared back school construction, sold off school sites and even closed some schools. • At the time, schools were largely financed by locally imposed property taxes but in 1971 a successful lawsuit, Serrano vs. Priest, declared that widely varying taxable property values among the state’s school districts unfairly disadvantaged children in lowwealth communities. In response, the Legislature began overhauling school History may be finances to provide repeating itself as what was called “equalization.” California’s public • Subsequently, school enrollment however, in 1978, voters declines, putting passed Proposition 13, which clamped tight the squeeze on the limits on property finances of local taxes, compelling the school systems. state to assume the fundamental task of financing schools from income and sales taxes and thus shifting wrangling over education finance to the state Capitol. • California’s population soared in the 1980s due to high immigration and birth rates and so did school enrollment, eventually topping 6 million. In 1988, a decade after Proposition 13’s approval, the education community persuaded voters to pass Proposition 98, an extremely complex measure that dictates how schools’ share of state revenues is calculated. It has dominated the state budget process since. This snippet of political history is offered because it could be repeated. California’s once-soaring population has slowed to a trickle, or perhaps even reversed, due to sharp declines in immigration and birth rates. Also, school enrollment, which topped out at 6.2 million a

Letters to the Editor Beyond the Back Fence EDITOR: appreciated Thomas Frey’s Dec. 20 article on Bob Billingsley, ‘Billingsley took his own advice — lived to bring joy.’ Frey’s piece captured his kindness well. In his first Billingsley’s Bullets, published by then editor Mike Raffety in 1997, Bob wrote, “Inconsistent kindness is similar to inconsistent dough. It will fall apart when you least expect it.” With that column, and even more so with his Heard Over the Back Fence, Bob consistently provided all the “gluten” El Dorado County needed to hold its community dough together. His work is appreciated and he will be missed. TAYLOR BULEY Winters

ith only Sue Novacel dissenting, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution asking Gov. Newsom to exempt the county from mask (and soon vaccination?) requirements. In the 1960s, the World Health Organization conducted a program to eradicate smallpox and measles. It was clear that vaccination, to be successful, had to be administered to 100% of the population. In African villages, witch doctors, sometimes imams and priests, particularly in Nigeria and Somalia, dispensed voodoo medical advice. The people who avoided the vaccine were soon infecting vaccinated people, a death sentence for children and the elderly whose vaccine protection had not yet kicked in. WHO found out that bribes quickly overcame even strong religious beliefs. During a typhoid epidemic in the early 1900s, Mary Mallon, a Chicago boarding house operator, though asymptomatic herself, carried the typhoid bacillus. She cooked for her boarders, thereby infecting hundreds before a local doctor tracked her down. Chicago authorities closed her boarding house, so Typhoid Mary, as she became known, moved incognito to New York City to open another
boarding house, again infecting and killing probably thousands, until medical sleuths exposed her and closed her down. Undeterred, Typhoid Mary opened another boarding house before New York authorities quarantined her for life. Typhoid Mary would not have killed thousands had she worn a mask (an unknown practice at the time). Mask and vaccination are two key links in a long protective chain against infection. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, a simple concept seemingly beyond understanding by the BOS. Its request to the governor is a dangerous electoral ploy aimed at pleasing the luddites.

What’s the difference? EDITOR: don’t care if you choose to be a vegetarian; it’s none of my business what you do. It’s when you say I have to be a vegetarian too that makes me cringe. The problem is being a vegetarian/vegan or anti-logging are forms of religion where to seek purity is to stop logging or eating meat. You come off as being sanctimonious by portraying your diet as better and saying my diet kills nature. But let me set your hostility aside and ask you a couple of simple questions. 1. What is the difference between logging the mountains and farming the valleys? 2. Why do you believe being a vegetarian/vegan is better for the environment? To grow crops you have to put the blade to the soil. In doing such the farmer kills an untold amount of creatures — animals from frogs to vols. They have cleared lands that every year kill quail to egrets. I’m not going to mention how many untold thousands of falcons perish because of chemicals and the number of deer killed from controlled burns. When a vegetarian says they can’t kill any creature I always think: Have you really thought this through? No, their “environmentalism” is not new and in fact taught in all religions in one way or another;

socialist/communist economic system that works. How has it worked out in Cuba, pre-1990 Russia, Venezuela, even half-socialist Europe? Their economics (gross domestic product) lag by huge margins compared to the United States. Even Sweden, which has less regulation in many respects compared to the U.S., still lags behind mostly because of its higher tax rates. In the last year businesses have already passed on to consumers huge price increases in goods created by the previous Biden trilliondollar giveaway and massive new regulations. If you haven’t bought a new car (new or used, as used prices are up 31.4%) be prepared for sticker shock. A well-known meat market in New Jersey yesterday had a price of $6 a pound for ground beef. Filets were $49 a pound. Corporations and smaller businesses have surcharges for increase transportation costs in fuel, labor and equipment. Higher taxes on business and corporations will be passed along as well and, in that respect, since all of us pay for food, shelter, transportation, clothing and entertainment, we, the consumer,
will pay for higher corporate taxes. But even with the higher corporate taxes, there will still be a $3 trillion deficit — and that means continued stratospheric inflation. Inflation is not 6.8% as reported in November by the government. It may be the highest inflation rate ever if the same formula for inflation as used in 1982 is used in 2021. If that is done you get a current inflation rate of 15%, double what the Biden “lyin’” government is telling you. Think about the real rise in prices. Costs for gasoline, meat, food, housing and cars are up 20% and more. I wish it were only 7%. And doubling down on consumer inflation is the new record set on wholesale inflation in November, reported at 9.6%! Since this column was penned, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has emphatically said he will not support Build Back Better. It might allow for a cooling off of this inflation cycle over the next several months. But it likely isn’t over as the government continues to print money to cover Biden’s earlier trillion-dollar spending bill. Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.

decade ago and remained virtually unchanged until recently, is beginning what demographers believe will be a steady decline. The COVID-19 pandemic is partially responsible for some recent declines but the state Department of Finance projects that underlying demographic trends will drop enrollment to 5.5 million by 2030, some 700,000 lower than the peak. “Projected declines are greatest in Los Angeles and Ventura counties — roughly 20% lower by 2030-31,” a recent study by the Public Policy Institute of California declares. “The declines in Los Angeles County are particularly noteworthy: county enrollment has already fallen over 10% in the past decade and enrollment in 2030-31 is projected to be 30% lower than it was in 2010-11.” State aid to schools is largely driven by enrollment, so districts that are seeing major declines, particularly large urban systems such as Los Angeles Unified, are beginning to feel the financial pinch and confronting the unpopular task of shutting neighborhood schools. At the moment, school finances have a respite. Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators have decreed that state aid is temporarily based on pre-pandemic enrollment but the “hold harmless” gesture is due to expire next year. What happens after that is anyone’s guess. Decreasing enrollment could be beneficial in the long run because it could increase per-pupil
spending. But that would depend on the willingness of state politicians to once again change the methodology of school financing, moving away from its enrollment base to some other model. Given the tens of billions of dollars at stake, however, a major overhaul would be a tough political slog. Until and unless it occurs, the local systems seeing the most dramatic enrollment declines will have a difficult time balancing their budgets as their state aid shrinks and their fixed costs, such as pension fund contributions, continue to rise.

they just think they’re doing something new and more enlightened.

in 2018) and a 0.67% annual rate of growth for employment, totaling 5,933 new jobs. From 2010 to 2018, El Dorado Hills had a 15.4% residential growth rate from 13,165 units in 2010 to 15,193 in 2018, with an annual growth rate of 1.81%. After crunching numbers, Board Chair and District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl determined that El Dorado Hills had 94.5% of the residential growth on the West Slope. “These numbers are different from the projection because we’ve had a tremendous amount of growth due to age-restricted housing, now in District 2, but when those developments get completed, and there are some others that may come into the works, that’s going to shift some of that growth to other parts of the county,” Hidahl said. The rest of the West Slope (excluding Placerville) had a 4.5% growth rate. West Slope projections calculate 9,174 units for housing allocation and 5,933 new jobs will open by 2040. From that data the El Dorado Hills community region has the highest growth allocation for total housing going from 438 units in 2020 to 5,319 by 2040 (53% of the West Slope residential allocation) and 2,447 jobs by 2040, 41% of the growth throughout the West Slope. Porter said there are not enough appropriately zoned parcels in El Dorado Hills to accommodate the same percentage of growth to 2040 and that development will need to work up the West Slope. “That is typically what happens,” Porter said. “If something is not going forward in EDH, (developers) start working their way up the West Slope. It makes sense then to fill in what we can in Cameron Park, Shingle Springs and Diamond Springs, then work your way up (the slope).” Porter said the Cameron Park community region is close to using up all of its approved parcels for development as well, which is projected to have 17% of the entire West Slope housing development by 2040, based on parcel availability. Hidahl noted that job growth is more speculative than the housing growth projections. “We’ve always had an issue with the housing-to-jobs ratio and trying to achieve that,” Hidahl said. Looking at the numbers that we are forecasting, we are still not achieving that ratio by any means. We are way short on the jobs in order to do that.” Hidahl said emphasis should be put on economic development to provide jobs, to which Porter noted that developing housing will bring certain jobs. District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel said the program should consider implementing vehicle miles traveled, a measure of travel for all vehicles in a geographic region in a period of time, since California is phasing out level of service. Level of service is used to measure quality of traffic services from a driver’s perspective.
“It is not about getting bigger and better roads, it is about moving people to live where their areas of work are,” Novasel said. “It is important as we change our methodology and understand this new model.” Porter said vehicle miles traveled and level of service are both requirements they must consider. Martinez and Porter also gave an overview on the county’s history of Measure E, which reversed a law passed in 2008 that gave the Board of Supervisors power to approve additional roads in heavily congested areas, implemented by county voters in July 2016. Board Resolution 159 was then enacted, removing policies in Measure E through the courts due to inconsistency with state law. Porter said Measure E is still largely in place. Porter explained that transportation staff conducts a Transportation Impact Study required for developers to determine if a project of five or more units or parcels complies with transportation policies in the General Plan. If a proposed project meets those policies, the project pays fees toward construction of roadway improvements needed for the project. For commercial buildings, if required roadway improvements are part of the 20-year improvement program, then the project pays impact fees toward construction of those improvements. The same applies if roadway improvements are needed for residential projects and are included in the 10-year improvement plan. The transportation staff then gave a recap of how affordable housing works into the programs. The county adopted a fee waiver or reduction for affordable housing projects to help alleviate some development fee requirements in December 2007. $20 million was set aside from grant funding to extend the fee offset program for affordable housing units as part of a major update in 2020 to the impact fee program. $1 million is given to the offset program yearly. Another update included single-family housing fees based on size. Secondary dwelling units are not charged those fees via the offset program. To help offset the cost of the impact fees, the county provides about 15% of costs through grant funding. The General Plan requires impact fees be funded without additional costs to residential and non-residential developers. The county allocates about $2.6 million in grant funding to offset the costs of non-residential development. Additionally, the county allocates approximately $27 million in grant funding to offset the cost of residential development in rural areas as well as the Cameron Park, Diamond Springs and El Dorado areas. The next annual Traffic Impact Fee update and another Capital Improvement Program workshop will be planned for spring 2022. The board took no action on the subject.

Your cat qualities will come out. You’ll be smart, chic and mysterious. You’ll quietly observe, in no hurry to get involved unless you see the perfect opportunity. Then you’ll pounce. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Go on, try to ignore the restlessness in your soul. It isn’t going away. You may as well listen and see where it’s urging you on ... most likely toward a touchstone of goodness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve traveled, but
it’s been a while since you’ve visited someplace completely new. Look into it. Put it into a plan. A trip in the distant future will invigorate your life at present. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t make people guess how to treat you, what you want or how to move in the world with you in it. Tell people what to do with you and they’ll do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are a retinal magnet, pulling eyes toward you wherever you go. You walk with confidence, smile with intrigue, relate with warmth. Strangers will say hello -- even the shy ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your preferences fortify you. So, settle into the comfort of familiar things: Sitting in your favorite chair; sipping your favorite drink; watching your favorite TV show. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your influence grows as you learn how to better accommodate others. They are attracted to you because of the way they feel around you. You make their lives easier and more comfortable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not pessimistic to reduce your expectations. Rather, it’s a strategy that will allow you to be pleasantly surprised by life. You’ll love what happens when you let go of needing it to be one way.

District 4 had previously encompassed parts of Placer County clear south to Fresno County. The redistricting commission drew 52 congressional districts statewide. All districts were drawn within the permissible population deviation. View redistricing maps at wedrawthelinesca.org/ final_maps. In accordance with the California Constitution, the commission followed these criteria, in this order, to draw district maps: • Districts must be of equal population to comply

This requirement refers to density, not shape. Census blocks cannot be split.

very year during this time Placerville Kiwanis produces the Holiday Food Basket event where community partners come together to assemble and deliver generous boxes of food and support to more than 60 families most in need. Placer Food Bank, Feed El Dorado and Boa Vista Orchards provide the necessary food placed in large banana boxes at Green Valley Church. Once assembled, by many volunteers representing multiple groups including Kiwanis members and team members from the El Dorado County Office of Education, volunteer drivers take the boxes to households throughout the West Slope, including Somerset and the Divide. “The Kiwanis Club of Placerville is proud to serve our community to meet this need and partner with such outstanding organizations,” said Brian Veerkamp, Kiwanis Club president. Prior to the event, Jesus Cordova, bilingual family specialist at EDCOE, worked with colleagues at the Community Hubs, school districts and New Morning Youth and Family Services to identify families in need of support. “This is a hard time of year for our families,” Cordova said. “The families were so appreciative of this support and the volunteers who worked hard to make this event happen.” More than 60 families received a visit and a large box of food and other items to help

OUTH LAKE TAHOE — Satellite Spirits, producers of South Fork Vodka, are revolutionizing fundraising with the use of non-fungible tokens. The Grass Valley company has partnered with the Humane Society of Truckee-
Tahoe and NFTY Markets to launch PreMEMEium Vodka. Every bottle comes with its own unique NFT, and $10 of every bottle goes directly to the Humane Society. Satellite Spirits co-founder Jon Dorfman describes NFTs as a new medium of art, as well as a new implementation of technology. NFTs are a way to create technological scarcity by allowing artists to put a digital signature on a piece of art that is tracked using blockchain

technology, the same technology used for cryptocurrency. Each bottle of PreMEMEium Vodka comes with its own limited edition artwork, created by local artist Greta Schimmel, in the form of an NFT. The bottle comes with a QR code which, when used, generates the NFT. “It’s like digitally opening a pack of trading cards,” Dorfman said. What makes this approach to fundraising unique is the potential for continued giving through one purchase. Not only does $10 from the purchase of every bottle go to HSTT, so does 10% of all secondary sales royalties of the NFT. “The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is honored and very excited to be a part of this partnership. Nonprofits, including ours, have spent the last year or so trying to capture fundraising income through the new NFT craze and when they came to us with such a unique idea, coupled with a tangible spirit many of our supporters already know and love – it also raises funds and awareness for many local organizations and artists, we couldn’t think of a better way for our organization to dip into NFTs,” said Katrina Johnson, HSTT events and fundraising coordinator. “HSTT is

We are so grateful to be chosen for this rollout and the funds raised in this partnership will undoubtedly help us save even more lives through our programs and services.” Dorfman, who is also the CEO of NFTY Markets, is passionate about finding unique ways to use NFTs. NFTY Markets’ mission is to redirect consumer attention and intention around consumption and do so by leveraging
the innovation made possible by blockchain and NFTs. “I want to change how people interact with their communities,” Dorfman said. NFTY Markets will be hosting a suite of physical products, each paired or associated with digital art (an NFT) and a specific philanthropic direction. “By creating causedirected premium physical products, partnered with nonprofits from inception, we intend to change the direction of consumption entirely. This isn’t
virtue signaling for a brand, these are brands built for virtue, built for intention, with new tools (NFT royalties) that enable new possibilities of lifetime value creation,” Dorfman states in a press release about the fundraising launch. The NFTs will only be available for the first 1,500 bottles of PreMEMEium Vodka sold. They can be purchased in South Lake Tahoe at California Burger Company, Raley’s and Safeway.

Murphys author publishes small town thriller full of suspense News release
“O
ne Mad Apple,” a new book by Tom Pratt, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc. In “One Mad Apple,” a successful art dealer reinvents himself and moves to a small town to help care for his dying mother. He finds himself up against an unlikely foe that is out to destroy him and everything he holds dear, one who threatens the peaceful town and its innocent children. This is a story of a small town in turmoil and fear because of a combatant and mentally unstable elected official, who just happens to serve on the local school board. “One Mad Apple” evokes the fear of many of us: mentally unstable individuals threatening our communities and especially our children. Pratt has been elected three times to his local school board in two different communities in California and actively participates and volunteers in community activities. He loves all things that have to do with baseball, gardening, writing, reading and watching movies that have intrigue as the central theme. Pratt has a keen interest in national politics, is active in local politics and has run for statewide office. His professional experience as an art insurance broker has helped him hone critical skills of investigation and communication — and his career has provided many intriguing stories. Pratt lives with his wife and their two sons in the foothills of Northern California. “One Mad Apple” is a 98-page paperback and available online at bookstore.dorrancepublishing. com/one-mad-apple.
.K. Hughes released her first book, “Government Cheese: a Memoir.” Author Hughes is a longtime Cameron Park resident, local volunteer jail minister and chief technology officer in the public sector. Her intent in writing her memoir was to heal and help others overcome past trauma, abuse or addictions and let everyone know it’s never too late to hit “edit, redo” on the keyboard of life. “Government Cheese” has received numerous positive reviews on Amazon. Her paperback is available to borrow at the Cameron Park Library or for purchase at Cameron Park’s, The Bookhouse or Amazon in both paperback and Kindle. She recently held book signings at The Bookhouse and Urban Yogurt and is planning future book signings in the area.

Fritter, how much have you saved so far for your big Six Wags Amusement Park visit?
© 2016 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 32, No. 49
Knowing the difference between WANTS and NEEDS is the best way to make sure your saving plan SUCCEEDS!
$12 this month!
But it hasn’t been easy, Thrifty!
There are so many things I just NEED to buy!
A NEED is something you must have in order to survive or function. You need shelter, clothing, food, water and sometimes things like medicine or school supplies.
I think you mean WANT to buy! You NEED to learn the difference!
Can you find the three identical piggy banks? Time yourself. Then have a family member try it. Who found them the fastest?
ritter needs some help sticking to his saving plan. Write NEED next to each of the items below he must buy for his health or safety. Then write WANT by things that might be fun to have, but that he could do without.
A WANT is something you would like to have, but can live without. A music player, computer, television and bike are wants not needs.
Look around your room. Make a list of all the things you can see from your doorway. Then, write W next to each thing that can be considered a WANT. Write an N next to each item that can be considered a NEED. Do you have more WANTS or NEEDS in your room?
Look at these stores. Check the box above each store to show if it contains more things that you would WANT, NEED or BOTH. Below each store, list a few things it might sell that you would NEED. WANTS NEEDS WANTS NEEDS WANTS NEEDS BOTH BOTH BOTH WANTS NEEDS BOTH WANTS NEEDS BOTH
THINK ABOUT IT: Cake is a food, but is it a WANT or a NEED?
Wants and Needs in the Newspaper
Look through today’s newspaper for five examples of things you need to survive. Then find five things you want. Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information.
I’ve been working hard this month! Put a check in the box next to each job I did. If you check the right boxes, they add up to exactly $10!
Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow simple written directions.
Quantity
Find an ad in the newspaper. Rewrite the ad and substitute the words “many,” “few,” “several,” etc. for the numbers used in the ad. Are the numbers necessary? Why or why not? Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information.

News release The California Department of Fish and Wildlife 2022 Warden Stamp is now available for purchase online. The Warden Stamp, an annual decal sticker released by the department, is a collector’s item for many Californians. Funds raised from Warden Stamp sales are used to support wildlife officers by helping purchase vital equipment, protective gear and training for wildlife officers and the Law Enforcement Division’s K-9 program. For the first time since its inception in 2010, the stamp highlights a native California raptor species: the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). “When choosing the 2022 Warden Stamp, we wanted to highlight a species that inspired strength and resilience,” said David Bess, CDFW deputy director and chief of the Law Enforcement Division. “The bald eagle, once close to extinction in the lower 48 states, has made a remarkable comeback due to enforcement of protective laws and special management programs. The purchase of this stamp will not only show continued support for CDFW’s efforts to manage and protect California’s

diverse fish, wildlife and plant resources, but also support the success that can happen when we all work together toward conservation.” The 2022 stamp, featuring an image of a bald eagle and a CDFW wildlife officer badge, is now on sale for $5. The Warden Stamp Program was started in 2010 to address the need for better equipment and training for the state’s wildlife officers and to provide funding for special law enforcement programs. Since 1871 wildlife officers have been instrumental in the education and enforcement of laws put in place to maintain the state’s many plant and animal species, like the bald eagle. Today, wildlife officers
patrol on foot, by plane, boats, horseback and in a variety of vehicles. Although their main objectives of protecting California’s plants and animals remains the same, threats to these species and their habitat are always evolving. From the growing threat of wildfires, internet wildlife traffickers and learning to navigate through a global pandemic — CDFW wildlife officers remain committed to being the stewards of the Golden State’s natural resources. Please continue to support wildlife officers and their mission by purchasing the 2022 Warden Stamp. To view an image of and to purchase the 2022 Warden Stamp visit wildlife.ca.gov/ warden-stamp.
