A former line cook at Selland’s Market-Cafe and currently a virtual sales specialist for Apple, Ruby Shields moved to El Dorado Hills from San Jose at the age of 3. But it wasn’t until she met her wife Rebecca that she began boating. Upon purchasing their first boat seven years ago, the Shields met Ben Shirley at Browns Ravine Marina and became fast friends. Between the three of them, the idea of a restaurant on the water germinated from a dream, spurred by Ben’s insistence that customers were constantly asking if the marina, where he worked, sold burgers or hotAfterdogs.years of looking for the perfect boat, they settled on a 1969 Kayot which is wider than newer houseboats, allowing room for a full. flooringsaidthingkitchen.commercial“Wedidthewholeourselves,”Rubyoftheequipment,andpaneling installation. “My wife’s dad is a plumber so he did all the plumbing for all the sinks.

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors received an update Tuesday from Laura Schwartz, deputy chief administrative officer – Central Services, outlining the status of county facilities and this fiscal year’s work plan. El Dorado County has about 1 million square feet of facility space — about 131,400 square feet leased and the remainder owned.

The Placerville jail was built in 1988. Expansion plans estimated to cost $26.2 million include adding more room for female inmates and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements.

Despite a shortage of funds and staff, El Dorado County continues to move forward and upward with its facilities work plan with staff and contractors tackling several big-ticket projects.
If you find yourself at Folsom Lake cooling off from this weekend’s triple digit temperatures, boat or swim your way to Anchored Eats, a food truck on the water.
The estimated $26.2 million project in the works for several years is expected to go out to bid soon, Schwartz told the board; however, she warned, the cost estimate included in the budget might not cover construction as building costs have substantially increased. “We are really not sure what those costs are going to come back in at until we get those bids,” she said. “We did have quite a bit of contingency built into that number but there is a possibility those costs may come in higher.” Funding for the project comes from a $25 million grant as well as a county contribution. The expansion includes adding more room for female inmates and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements.Concernedabout more out-of-pocket expenses, District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin asked if staff had identified additional funding sources should the “It is difficult having smoke impact one year then the very next year having a significant series of frosts.”

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A s El Dorado County grape growers begin to harvest their crop, some are preparing for a smaller harvest than usual this season due to a late spring frost. Madroña Vineyards owner Paul Bush said while his harvest has not yet begun, he estimates he will get 35% of a normal crop.Bush reported Madroña’s vineyards in Pleasant Valley and Camino were significantly affected, specifically his chardonnay and nebbiolo varieties.“Itisunusual to get subsequent frosts in a single year,” Bush said. Frost events like what county wineries experienced in late April led to loss of buds, decreasing yield and quality of the harvest. Vineyards’ lower elevations were affected the most, according to local winemakers.Madroña,an estate grown winery, is not planning to outsource for grapes and has its own strategies to overcome lost crops.“We can utilize some of the 2021 vintage to carry into the 2022 vintage (and) bank on 2023 not seeing a frost or smoke aspect to it,” Bush said.

PG&E spokeswoman Megan McFarland explained that the guy wire broke and flipped up into live wires, triggering PG&E’s equipment to automatically shut down. As a safety precaution, guy wires are commonly marked with a yellow sleeve, as was this one. PG&E spokeswoman Megan McFarland reported 5,277 customers in El Dorado County lost power at 1:16 p.m. By 4:24 p.m. “nearly all” of those customers had their electricity restored.

Martha May Reinking m ay 22, 1924 – a ug. 2, 2022 Martha May Reinking passed away quietly on Aug. 2, at age 98, in Folsom, Calif. She was a generous, outgoing and caring woman whose faith in God and love for family were evident to those who knew her. Born May 22, 1924, in Ft. Wayne, Ind., to Paul Henry Scheele and Martha Marie (Wermuth) Scheele, Martha was the fourth of six children — Dorothy Feiertag, Barbara Wasserman, Adelheid Scheele, Paul Scheele and Charles Scheele. In 1946 Martha married Richard Henry Reinking of Ft. Wayne, Ind. Her husband pursued employment on the West Coast, ultimately settling in Carmichael, Calif., where they raised eight children who enlivened the community and Faith Lutheran Church in Fair Oaks. When Martha and Richard Reinking received a call to missionary work, the family moved to New Guinea in 1965 to serve with the Lutheran Mission. Returning five years later, the Reinking family settled in Cameron Park, Calif. Soon after, Martha became a Social Services Eligibility Worker for El Dorado County from which employment she later retired. Though her husband died in 1975, Martha continued to enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, camping, sailing, gardening, music, crossword puzzles and games of all kinds. She taught Sunday School, was a beloved Bible Study Fellowship leader, participated in the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, shared her famous ginger cookies frequently and regularly visited the elderly within her church family, where she was a member for 67 years. Martha was also a devoted grandmother. She loved, cared for, nurtured, admonished and endeared herself to her most cherished treasures of all, 16 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Martha’s home will be remembered as a place of refuge and shelter and her life celebrated as one lived with the genuine heart of a servant. Martha May is survived by her children Kathleen Haase, Barbara Leashore, Paul Reinking, Rebekah Pratt, Elisabeth Baker, Louise Carlton and John Reinking. She is predeceased by her parents, siblings and husband, her son Michael Reinking, and her grandson Richard Dickson.Amemorial service will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept, 3, at Faith Lutheran Church, 4000 San Juan Ave., Fair Oaks, Calif. She will be laid to rest alongside her husband and son during a private gathering at Westwood Hills Memorial Park, 2720 Cold Springs Road, Placerville, Calif.

This weekend traffic in Placerville restricted from crossing Highway
This Saturday, Sunday and Monday is the second of three weekends this fall where traffic signals on both eastbound and westbound Highway 50 through the city of Placerville will be set to stay green so traffic may flow freely, part of the Trip to Green pilot program to alleviate tourist season congestion. The closures are scheduled for 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. The next Trip to Green dates are Oct. 1 and 2. Northbound and southbound travel across Highway 50 at Canal Street, Spring Street (Highway 49) and Bedford Avenue will be closed to public traffic, allowing emergency vehicle access only, according to the El Dorado County Transportation Commission. Right-in and right-out access will remain available at Spring Street, Center Street and Bedford Avenue. On Canal Street access in the north and southbound directions across Highway 50 will be prohibited for the duration of Trip to Green. Detours around Highway 50 will remain in place for Main Street, Broadway and Placerville Drive. Travelers may use these roads to travel east and west. To cross Highway 50 they can take Placerville Drive, Ray Lawyer Drive, Clay Street, Carson Road, Mosquito Road and Schnell School Road.Pedestrian/bicycle crossings on Highway 50 will be detoured from Canal Street and Spring Street for safety. Alternative access is provided at the existing pedestrian/bicycle overcrossings located at Coloma Street/ Center Street and at Bedford Avenue. The county Transportation Commission approved the Trip to Green program in June 2021. Highway 50 sees nearly 50,000 vehicles per day and on peak/holiday weekends it is even higher than that, according to data shared by the EDCTC.When traffic backs up it spills onto local roads such as Broadway, Main Street, Airport Road, Pacific Street and other routes, which locals say makes it hard to get around. Business owners also have voiced concerns that travelers are not stopping once they get to Placerville because of travel delays. State, city and county leaders point out that permanent improvements take time to plan, design, fund and ultimately construct. Until a longterm solution is identified, Trip to Green is a lower-cost solution. It will also demonstrate how potential infrastructure improvements could improve traffic flow through Placerville.

This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood ow may cause the nerves to degenerate. As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the ow of vital 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.

The State Department issues so many categories of work visas that the exact total can be a mystery even to the most well-informed. Including qualifying family members of the primary visa recipient, the total is roughly 35. Whatever the Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies as an occupation category, a visa is most likely available to a foreign national to take the job. The donor class persistently lobbies Congress, claiming acute worker shortages, and demands more foreign employees when domestic labor is
plentiful. Even visas that expressly exclude work permission, the B-1 temporary business visitor, have been used to displace Americans. Despite the potential availability of ablebodied U.S. workers, Congress often increases existing visa caps. The H-2B for domestic nonagricultural workers is an Danielexample.Costa, the Economic Policy Institute’s director of Immigration Law and Policy Research, analyzed recent H-2B data and found that although the visa has an annual 66,000 cap, Congress and the White House have supplemented the total during the past few years. In 2021, 117,000 H-2B workers were present; in 2022, however, the program will increase to more than 150,000, a record high. The H-2B program has indirectly encouraged employers in the main hiring categories in which the visa is used — landscaping, construction, forestry, food processing, restaurants and hospitality — to engage in unscrupulous practices.

EDITOR:Itwas a disappointing day at the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 23. Despite having state and federal funding, a highly qualified and experienced program operator (Volunteers of America), a detailed construction proposal and the Placerville City Council urging the board to approve the Perks Court plan, the supervisors could not come up with the four votes needed to approve the navigation center and emergency shelter at Perks Court. We want to express our gratitude for the steady leadership and support for the Perks Court proposal from Supervisors Wendy Thomas, John Hidahl and Sue Novasel. We also want to express our appreciation to Housing El Dorado volunteers, the faith community, nonprofits, sta and agencies that worked tirelessly to develop and/or support the Perks Court proposal. While the Aug. 23 BOS meeting was a setback and an extreme disappointment, Housing El Dorado remains committed to working with the El Dorado Opportunity Knocks Continuum of Care to develop and implement sustainable and e ective programs to serve our unhoused neighbors. With the winter season coming up soon, we’re very concerned that there is no plan to provide emergency winter lodging. Housing El Dorado will be collaborating with others to determine the best course of action. We’ll keep you updated as things develop.
IEDITOR:nlight of the recent SCOTUS Dobbs decision and the resulting propaganda campaign to codify abortion into state and federal law, I propose that all of us ask one reasonable question: “When did I physically come into existence?

Granted there are many circumstances when unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming to the women and men involved but is erasing a human being a good choice? No matter what side of this disagreement we stand, I believe we must consider ought anyone have the right to erase an innocent human being. Just food forMATHEWthought.
At least a little bit. But Chetty’s study found that college friendships also cluster by economic status. There is some intermixing, of course, but not much. Friendship groups there tended to reflect socioeconomic status, not transcend it. Sports were another likely answer that proved underwhelming in Chetty’s research. They, too, tended to cluster people by income and not open the doors of friendship across wealth lines. Chetty did find one place in particular where people of all incomes were vastly more likely to become friends: church. Chetty found that poorer people are about 20% more likely to make wealthy friends at church. To be sure, most churches also pull from their Letters to the and the vanishing American worker
Department of Labor statistics that Costa studied showed that between 2000 and 2021, employers stole $1.8 billion from U.S. and foreign-born workers.Wagetheft in the H-2B program is a grave concern. The Government and Accountability O ce, after analyzing 10 diverse cases, found that di erent industries with employees in 29 states failed to pay promised wages and overtime and charged H-2B workers exorbitant fees.

It’s a state that leaves people shaking their heads in hopelessness and asking, “How will I ever get ahead?” Our state could make a million policy changes to prevent our residents from living paycheck to paycheck, but that solution is not likely found under the Democrat-led Capitol dome. What if that solution was found in our churches? Recently, Harvard University economist Raj Chetty and a team of researchers analyzed the Facebook accounts of more than 72 million users ages 25-44 and found that cross-income friendships are a key determinant of upward mobility. That is, if you are poor it helps your financial prospects to have wealthier friends. That may not sound surprising, since exposure to upper income people could introduce others to behavioral norms, entrepreneurial ideas or investment habits (among many other possible influences) that have contributed to wealth creation. But the study goes on to elaborate where those friendships develop.

FEDITOR:ollowing the Aug. 23 Board of Supervisors meeting our town can now be known as the fourth least compassionate county in the state. In case you weren’t aware, we are one of only four counties in the state that has no shelter for the unhoused. When I moved here 32 years ago, one of my favorite things about this county was the way we came together to care for one another in a crisis. In the last five years I have seen an ugly shift toward judgment, entitlement and exclusion. Given the current housing crisis with a 4,000 unit shortage and only a few housing projects on the horizon, we can no longer a ord to approach the housing crisis with ignorance. The housing shortages we are experiencing in this county and this state have just begun and inaction will have catastrophic consequences. As an intake specialist for the unhoused, I am beginning to see more and more first time homeless, especially, seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, in the governance halls, this has become a political battle about one faction of the unhoused population with no regard or understanding for the greater picture and diversity. We have to stop our fixation on the divide and find common ground. Have we really forgotten how hard life can be, how unexpected illness be it mental or physical, trauma, unexpected death or loss of a job or change of income can a ect us and the ones we love? Those of you who continue to oppose a shelter, can you say that this issue has not a ected someone in your family? Inaction will not make them magically disappear and the problem and the numbers will increase; that is a statistical fact. Providing shelter will not attract hoards of the unhoused, as some would like you to believe, proven citizenship is a requirement to receiving services.Let’snot approach this issue with entitlement and judgment but with understanding, knowledge and compassion.

Gaines Continued from A4 laundered money. The total count of potential workers climbs daily. The anticipated 2.1 million illegal aliens who will cross the Southwest border will eventually, for the most part, either be granted asylum or parole; both come with work authorization. Sadly, few in Congress and no one in the White House cares when a foreign-born worker displaces an American. Since 2000 the total foreign-born population, a record 47 million, has grown by 50%; it has doubled since 1990, tripled since 1980 and quintupled since 1970 — all workers or potential workers. The U.S. doesn’t need 150,000 H-2B visas, the total Costa anticipates, to mow lawns, serve meals or hang dry wall. Americans can and will do those jobs, assuming a living wage. In his earlier reports, Costa wrote, “No labor shortages [exist] at the national level in the top H-2B occupations.” But the federal government and its chamber of commerce toadies are indifferent to displaced U.S. workers’ plights, their families or recently graduated job-seeking collegeAmericanstudents.workers on Labor Day 2022 struggle with a labor market stacked against them. In theory, a solution could be implemented — immediately reduce, with an eye toward eliminating, unnecessary employment visas. Sadly, though, the White House has proven time and again that it refuses to put Americans first.

This Saturday and Sunday Placerville Speedway will see two-nights of winged and wingless sprint car competition during the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout.TheNor*Cal Posse Shootout is entering its fifth edition at the highbanked quarter mile this season. Previous winners of the event include Visalia’s Cory Eliason, Roseville’s Sean Becker, Rutherford’s Rico Abreu and most recently Fremont’s Shane Golobic in 2020. This year’s running marks the first time it will be held in front of fans sinceThe2019.Shootout is the only two-night winged 360 sprint car event of the season at Placerville Speedway and has featured no shortage of excitement over the last handful of seasons. Sharing the stage each night with the winged 360s will be the always thrilling wingless sprinters. It’s sure to be the perfect lead-in for next week’s Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway. Due to the expected warm weather in Placerville this weekend, start times have been pushed back by one hour, with cars now hitting the track at 6:15 p.m. for wheel packing. Hot laps, qualifying and racing will follow. The front gate will open at 4 p.m. each day. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg wrapped up the winged sprint car track title last weekend and will look to put his No. 92 up front at the Shootout. He will face stiff challenges from several competitors however, including last Saturday’s winner Shane Golobic, who captured the event two years ago. The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout is the final winged 360 sprint car event of the season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds facility. With the wingless sprinters it’s Josh Young who leads the standings over Placerville Speedway ace Jake Morgan. During the first two appearances of the year at the track it was Morgan who claimed victory each time.

Bigger project ahead
Mountain Democrat file photo County staff has identified the old juvenile hall as the preferred site to relocate the Psychiatric Health Facility.
The county has budgeted about $500,000 for continued work on the relocation of El Dorado County Superior Court facilities currently at the old juvenile hall on Fair Lane and in the basement of Building C on Fairlane Court. “The court move is going to be very, very expensive,” Schwartz said. County staff has identified the old juvenile hall as the preferred site to relocate the Psychiatric Health Facility currently housed in an end-of-life building with a leaky roof on Spring Street in Placerville. Staff has submitted a letter to Superior Court addressing those intentions. The court has 30 days to respond and county staff should be back before the board within two months with recommendations on how to move forward. The project involves a lot of moving parts, Schwartz stressed, as the county cannot disrupt court operations while it prepares the site for PHF and must have a new location identified and ready for the courts when it’s time to move.The Building C plan is even more complex as the county would also have to move the Elections Department out of the basement. “We’re thinking it’s probably cost prohibitive at this point,” Schwartz said. “We’re keeping our eyes out for property like we always do,” she continued. “The Community Health Center, when they have their new facility built, will move out of the existing facility … so that may be a possibility.”
• Placerville Jail improvements ($1.15 million)
The county has $26.9 million in its capital reserves, Schwartz noted. “It sounds like a lot of money but it really isn’t when we start looking at replacement needs.”
• South Lake Tahoe Jail improvements ($1 million)
• Placerville Library carpet replacement ($200,000) District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo inquired about expanding the county’s solar project. The Public Safety Facility off Missouri Flat Road is home to a solar farm and Turnboo asked if staff had looked into installing solar at the government center. “Right now the numbers are coming in questionable as to whether there really is a cost benefit to doing that,” Schwartz answered. She did note that PG&E has stepped up to help fund a solar panel project at the Georgetown Library, which is in a leased building.
Deferred maintenance Schwartz also touched on building maintenance projects in the works this fiscal year — all included in the 2022-23 budget. Project include: • HVAC replacement/ upgrade ($1.77 million)
• Generators ($875,000)

That’s all going to come into play,” said Philip Hughes, manager of Sierra PollutantsVista.from the Caldor Fire became a hurdle last year for growers who had to deal with smoke taint to their crops.“Itis difficult having smoke impact one year then the very next year having a significant series of frosts,” Bush said. “That is difficult, but farmers are resilient and that is what we do.” On a positive note, grapes from this year’s harvest show promise.“Thecolors, the flavors — everything just looks outstanding; it is just going to be a smaller crop this year,” BushStaffsaid.atSierra Vista is excited about this year’s harvest as well.“The crops we do have are incredible and showing great signs of good flavor and good levels,” Hughes said. “It is just a matter of planning how we do things now on the business side of things.” At Boeger Winery in Placerville minimal impact from frost was reported. “We were affected in some of our own lower-elevated vineyards but we are looking to have a good year overall,” Owner Greg Boeger said. Boeger explained that the quality of grapes determines how good the harvest is, measured by PH and sugar levels.

Bendick lost 60% of his crop — the viognier grapes taking the hit. “There is absolutely no viognier this year at our vineyard, which is usually prone to frosts,” Bendick said. “It’s not uncommon to lose some of it every year but we lost at least some of every variety that we grow and that is unusual.”AtSierra Vista Vineyards and Winery, next to Holly’s Hill, winemakers are estimating a 50% loss of their grapes used to make white wines.

The show starts at 4 p.m. Tone-Riordan moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1999 after graduating high school in the small town of Sutter Creek.
