Water temperatures and ecosystems would be impacted as well. Three scenarios show average water temperatures in August months will increase by 4-10 degrees due to a combination of reduced reservoir storage, less cold water available for water temperature management and rising air temperatures. Firefighters report the structure was a total loss.

Lower storage levels are expected as snowfall will be replaced with rain, which will make it harder to operate Folsom Lake and manage the American River for drought and flood control.
snow melts in winter rather than summer and the lost volume of runoff will affect water operations, said U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Hydrologic Engineer Ian Ferguson during a virtual press conference lastPrecipitationweek. is projected to be increasingly variable into the future with the timing of the moisture shifting with fall and spring precipitation declining and winter and summer precipitation increasing. In addition, the snowpack will decrease due to warming, moving the peak runoff by more than a month by the mid to late century.

Ayriane Vukovich, of Shingle Springs, passed away quietly at her home on Aug. 22 after 96 wonderful years. Her family and friends are ever so thankful of their lives with her. Born in Oakland, Calif. on July 16, 1926, the first of two children, to the late Charles and Aimee Crew, Ayriane grew up in the Castro Valley countryside and survived the Great Depression. She often said that, in retrospect, hardships were endured, though she and her brother didn’t realize it at the time, as there was always food on the table, places to play, warm clothes and the loving arms of her family.After graduating high school in 1944, Ayriane worked at the Castro Valley Pharmacy, which introduced her to retail, her first occupational love. Growing up in the Bay Area during World War II, Ayriane and her friends loved attending dances and flirting with the servicemen and learning to jitterbug.Wanderlust kept Ayriane on the move, living in New York in the ‘40s, Alaska in the 50s and back home to Shingle Springs where her parents had set up a Ayrianehomestead.hadmany fond memories of the 1950s when she worked at Hangtown Pharmacy and met her future husband, Mel Vukovich. At that time, Hangtown Pharmacy was a breakfast and lunch hot spot for Placerville locals. The 1960s were largely taken up with raising five children in Rancho Cordova and keeping up with Melvin, who was active in the Placerville business community as well as his Serbian Orthodox family and community in Jackson. This was a whole new world for Ayriane and she embraced the extended family, the culture and social gatherings. With five children it was soon apparent the little home in Rancho Cordova was too small, so in 1964 they built a home on property purchased from and next door to her parents. Life was good in Shingle Springs until an accident disabled Melvin, leaving Ayriane to learn insurance in a big hurry and learn she did. From 1972 through 1997 Ayriane owned and operated Vukovich Insurance Agency. In 1997 Ayriane retired from insurance and returned to her original infatuation with retail and opened a dress store in Cameron Park. She loved going to market, meeting new friends and customers and working with wonderful women who remained lifelong friends. In 2016 Ayriane closed Leah-Marie Fashions and retired again at ageIn90.addition to her parents, Ayriane was predeceased by her son Gregory, her brother Lowell and her husband Melvin. She leaves behind her daughters, Aimee and Claudia, and sons Milan and Troy. She also leaves four grandchildren and one great grandson who all miss her dearly. Services will be held for Ayriane on Saturday, September 17, at 3 p.m. at the Green Valley Mortuary, followed by a reception at the home of Troy Vukovich, 3261 Meder Road, Shingle Springs, 95682.Inlieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Snowline Hospice.

Charlotte Ann Morgan (Nickles) Oct. 14, 1945 – July 17, 2022 Charlotte Ann Morgan (Nickles) was born to Stephen and Doris Nickles on Oct 14, 1945 in Corpus Christi, Texas. In 1953 her family moved to Placerville where she met her husband John R. Morgan. On Nov 4, 1961 Charlotte and John were married and started their beautiful family. Charlotte worked as a dispatcher for the Placerville Police Department where she was known for being a good sport with her co-worker’s jokes and pranks and even volunteered to foster a lost monkey while working to find his owner. Charlotte was very involved with the Soroptimist International of Placerville and could be counted on for fundraisers and volunteering. Charlotte loved spending time with her family and the many people she had come to love as family. Charlotte spoiled and doted on her grandchildren and was fondly referred to as “Grammy” and “The Hostess with the Mostess.”Whenwe think of Charlotte (Grammy) we think of a true beauty inside and out, her laugh and sense of humor were contagious and her generosity and kindness were unparalleled, to know her was to feel loved and accepted. Charlotte’s loved ones will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives with humor, kindness and generosity just as she did. Charlotte passed away on July 17, peacefully in her home. She is survived by her husband of 60 years John Raymond Morgan and three children, Deborah Morgan, James Morgan (Veronica) and Richard Morgan (Laurie); six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The family will have a private celebration of life and request in lieu of flowers to please consider a donation to Snowline Hospice in remembrance of Charlotte.

April 26, 1959 – June 5, 2022 David Eugen Vogel sadly left us on June 5. David was born on April 26, 1959, in Pasadena, Calif., to Eugen Wendelin Vogel and Patricia Ann Vogel (Janas). David was the firstborn; his parents were so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy baby boy. David grew up with three siblings, Heidi Vogel (Campbell), Jimmy “Jim” Vogel and Linda “Lynn” Vogel. Raised in Southern California during his younger years, David loved to play outside with his siblings; his parent would load up their bikes and take them to an area where they could ride freely. David also LOVED basketball; he would play anytime he got a chance. David and his family would later move to Northern California, to our hometown Placerville. David attended Edwin Markham Middle School and El Dorado High School. David also attended college, majoring in police science. As a teenager, David enjoyed using the CB radios. Through the power of CB radios, David would be introduced to his wife Patricia Marie Hartwig, of Placerville, Calif. David and Patricia dated for a short time. On April 20, 1978, they were married in Carson City, Nev. David and Patricia just celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary this year. On May 16, 1980, they welcomed two beautiful baby girls, Christina Vogel (Van Noord) and Brandy Vogel (Johnson). Later to become a loving grandfather to three amazing grandchildren, Brandy’s daughter, Taylor Raye Coate; Christina’s sons, Shane Thomas Van Noord and Noah Eugen Van Noord. David created many friendships, he had so many amazing stories to tell. Those chosen friends would be the only ones who know the shenanigans they had done to create one-of-a-kind memories.
David’s last project is a 1965 Pontiac GTO, which he had almost completed. His family will finish restoring this project and keep and cherish in his memory. David was a proud, quiet, intelligent, very hard-working man. He worked hard from his earliest workday at the Chuckwagon Restaurant to Union 76 gas station, Victor’s Automotive and Denny’s, where he worked for the next 18 years. Through the years, David’s position at Denny’s would change from manager to general manager to district leader. David managed many stores in the Sacramento, Calif., area from 1998-2016. In 2016 David left Denny’s and took a chance to start a new position with Holiday Retirement in Carson City, Nev. Shortly after accepting the new position, he and his wife moved to Dayton, Nev. David truly enjoyed his new position. There he took special care of his residence as they were family. All his employees and work associates through the years loved and adored him and he felt the same. His compassion for his employees, customers, residents and associates in all parts of his career was beautiful and heartwarming. David was an asset worth keeping, with a work ethic that is no longer heard of. David was a genuine provider for his family, employees and associates. He was a husband with unconditional love for his wife, a father with unconditional love for his daughters and grandchildren. Dave a friend worth having, will be missed profoundly but never forgotten. David is preceded in death by his Father Eugen Vogel; his father in-law Daniel Hartwig; mother in-law Marylin Hartwig; sister in-law Danieleigh Klein; best friend Je ery “Je ” Moore.

Dental plaque is constantly forming on our teeth. Sim ply put, plaque is the bacte ria that grow in our mouth daily. Whenever we eat and drink, the bacteria mix with sugary and starchy substances to form acids that damage teeth. These acids create a layer of biofilm that forms on teeth as plaque. If plaque is not removed regularly, it begins to harden into tar tar. Although tartar damages teeth and gums and is difficult to remove, the good news is that plaque is easy to remove before it hardens into tartar. The best practices to control plaque and prevent tartar are brushing teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily, and having teeth professionally cleaned twice a Avoidingyear. plaque buildup and it’s resultant gum disease and achieving maximum den tal hygiene success are not all that difficult. Almost everyone can accomplish both with a modest amount of time invested daily. Keeping up with home dental care as well as scheduling periodic clean ings and wellness exams are two important steps toward accomplishing the goal of a healthy mouth. For full-service dental care for all members of your family, please call for an appointment.P.S.Itonly takes about 24 hours for plaque to begin hardening into tartar.

Without any adaptation strategies the study projects an increase of 10,000-30,000 acre-feet per year in supply-demand imbalances across all users within the basin. The study identified five major stressors in the basin — population growth, climate change, ecosystem degradation, regulatory interventions (such as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act) and social values and preferences. A number of vulnerabilities throughout the basin related to Folsom Reservoir include its relatively small capacity compared to its average annual inflows and competing priorities for flood control, water supply and ecosystem protection. In relation to the foothills, limited groundwater, shrinking snowpack, decreasing runoff during fall and summer and increased forest fires are all vulnerabilities the region faces. Different strategies to reduce current and projected supplydemand imbalances are being implemented, including the possibility of conducting a feasibility study for Alder Creek to evaluate high-elevation, off-stream storage as a potential replacement for lost storage due to reduced snowpack and earlier snowmelt runoff.

Firefighters extinguish a vegetation fire Saturday on the north shoulder of Highway 50 just west of Bridal Veil Falls. Approximately 0.10 acres burned, according to the El Dorado County Fire Protection District. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Ken Payne, general manager of the El Dorado County Water Agency and advocate for the storage replacement, said alternative plans are needed.
“We have lots of farmers who are going to be fighting for this water,” Payne said, whose agency helped work on the study. “It is crucial we get storage to replace the reliance on the snowpack to sustain the county’s waterOtherneeds.”mitigation efforts include the use of existing diversion facilities on the Sacramento River and exchanging water supply to reduce reliance on Folsom Lake and the American River, a $300 million water bank in development in the Sacramento area and releasing flood water to recharge groundwater to create additional regional water supply and ecosystem benefits.
Consider a recent analysis of the IRA by the Penn Wharton Business Model, the authors of which reported “low confidence that the legislation will have any impact on inflation.” The Congressional Budget Office reached a similar conclusion, finding that the bill would have “a negligible effect” on inflation in the coming years. So much for addressing voters’ chief concern. In fact, it’s entirely possible that the legislation won’t merely fail to reduce inflation — it could actually cause prices to rise further in the years ahead.Thenew law extends generous Obamacare subsidies to middle and even high-income households through 2025, at a supposed cost of $64 billion. In reality, the three-year cost may well be higher — those same subsidies have cost about 50% more than anticipated this year economyspendingmorehundredsballoon,theclearly—subsidiesultimatelyeconomistaccordingalone,tohealthBrianBlase.IfafutureCongressmakesthepermanentasDemocratshopetodo—10-yearcostwillpumpingofbillionsindeficitintotheanddrivingup inflation. Or consider the IRA’s price controls on prescription drugs. Democrats promised consumers cheaper medicines — but the vast majority of Americans won’t notice any difference at the pharmacy counter. Here’s why. The price controls only apply to Medicare, so by definition, Americans with private insurance won’t derive any savings from the price caps. Even seniors won’t notice much change, since their out-of-pocket copays and coinsurance are set by insurance plans, not drug companies. Plus, these price controls don’t kick in until 2026, Letters to the Editor be doing the peoples’ business

Probably the latter, at least Gore got stinking rich. We now have people who are so engrossed in their climate religion they feel the need to write letters saying eating meat causes climate change. This entire charade would be hilarious if not for the fact these people vote and have elected politicians who now want to charge us to breath.

OPINION
OEDITOR:ne of our treasured social events in this community is the yearly county fair. People go to see all the events, spend time with friends and family and enjoy the carnival. In this county the fairgrounds are available for community events and home to two well-known events. The first is the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Race during the county fair. The second is racing at the Placerville Speedway, which is nationally known because of drivers like Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet, Rico Abreau, legends like Jimmy Sills and Brent Kaeding and traveling race groups like World of Outlaws. Racing at Placerville Speedway is the county’s only professional sport, I believe. It’s great family entertainment and gives young people something to dream about and role models — which are seriously lacking in our society. Kyle Larson followed his dream and is now living it at NASCAR. If you have never been to the races, go some Saturday night. A word of caution — try not to sit in the lower, lefthand corner of the grandstands if you are facing the seats. This is where the mud flies and history will be made. How long will our fairgrounds will last for the community to enjoy? A future without the space could be not very far off. The state of California is in the process of leasing the property between the fairgrounds and Raley’s for 55 years to build affordable housing. We all know the story of how development moves in next to an airport, which is followed by outcries to remove the airport. Tragically, this same story will play out here. We will lose the racetrack, our county fair and a place to hold local events for charity and other reasons. The armory will be removed, which serves as an emergency shelter. Local businesses will suffer from loss of business. Please get involved in saving our fairgrounds and our nationally known racetrack. Meetings are being held locally at the fairgrounds. Please come and join the fight. Join former Supervisors Jack Sweeney and Brian Veerkamp, District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo and many more friends and neighbors. There is a general meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, at Marshall Building on the fairgrounds. Hope to see you at the meeting and on a Saturday night at the races.

IEDITOR:’venoticed an unusual degree of silence from the former president’s supporters with regard to the recent disclosure of his rat-holing of highly classified documents at his private residence. No doubt that is, at least partly, because of his outspoken criticism of Hillary Clinton’s rather careless handling of her private e-mail account. Nevertheless, the level and degree of his flagrant disregard of national security issues seems to be causing dismay even amongst the most ardent of his sycophants. Apparently, he either didn’t realize how dangerous the release of this information could be to those who put their life on the line to help collection of vital national security information or he didn’t care. Worse yet, he may have seen an opportunity to profit from its dissemination to certain entities. I can only say that there is no doubt in my mind that if I had decided upon my retirement 30 years ago to take home highly classified information for my personal archives, I would probably just now be returning home from my well-deserved prison term.
The answer from Del Monte: “Violating their (VOA) ‘zero tolerance policy’ would be grounds for eviction/ removal from the project, per their program rules.” You would expect the head of HHSA, with a taxpayer-funded salary of nearly $400,000 annually (salary and benefits), would know the basic federal rules of a homeless center. Since the publishing of my last column, which laid out the federal rule stating “Substance use in and of itself, without other lease violations, is not considered a reason for eviction,” it appears the balance of the board — Supervisors Sue Novasel, Wendy Thomas and John Hidahl — ignored this rule and accepted at face value the statements of Del Monte. As a reader pointed out, there is also an equivalent rule in California that you can’t evict a program member for abusing drugs while in the program with a couple minor exceptions.

Sensitive information
E very once in a while, in spite of theirputtingown agenda in front of the peoples’ agenda, good things happen at the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meetings. In this most recent case Supervisors Lori Parlin and George Turnboo stopped the ruination of the Placerville area’s main business district — the Missouri Flat corridor — by voting against putting a federally and state funded homeless navigation center on Perks Court.How did it get so far? The supervisors were misled by their own government officials. While this is no excuse for voting for a homeless center in the heart of a business district, part of the rationale may stem from what interim Health and Human Services Director Daniel Del Monte wrongly told supervisors. Major problems with the homeless include mental health issues, alcoholism and drugs they bring with them. The areas on Upper Broadway, the streets of San Francisco (no offense Karl Malden), Downtown Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and just about every metro area in the U.S. have this problem. Of course, our supervisors and the public heard that the Volunteers of America, the selected management of the center, has a “zero tolerance policy” with respect to drugs and alcohol use once accepted into the program. That “fact” turned out to be wrong. How did that mistaken belief occur? In an email to El Dorado County Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton, which was forwarded to Del Monte for answering, this information was shared and clarification was requested: “If it (the homeless navigation center) is built and operated, according to federal rules drug abusers who are occupants can’t be evicted as a result of their drug abuse.”
C optimisticincreasinglyDemocratsongressionalare about this fall’s midterm elections. They believe their recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act, especially its healthcare provisions, will win them plaudits from voters.Butthey could be in for a rude awakening. Contrary to lawmakers’ claims, the Inflation Reduction Act won’t reduce inflation or bring down drug prices for most Americans. Many voters will ultimately feel duped — and they could take their frustrations out at the ballot box for years to come.
How do these three supervisors still have their jobs? They aren’t doing the peoples’ business of nearly 200,000 hardworking individuals, but doing the business of exacerbating a condition that could be remedied by effective law enforcement. You can’t have people defecating, urinating, shooting up, drinking and panhandling in blatant disregard of 99.95% of the rest of the public ... and that would be the result of a Perks Court homeless center. Perks Court would have most likely been a personal win for Thomas as the value of her Broadway property would have risen. Hidahl is a bleeding-heart Democrat. At least we still have two supervisors who do the peoples’ business, Parlin and Turnboo, without thinking of themselves.Andwhat will happen to Del Monte? He was advised of the law before this last board meeting and was sent the entire threepage package of federal homeless guidelines. Ditto for Ashton. Did Del Monte tell the supervisors about the federal policy? No. On an issue this big, the truth is required and his failure to do so should require his immediate dismissal for dereliction of duty. Larry Weitzman is a resident of Placerville.
NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD Pipes Continued from A4 and will only impact 10 drugs. That figure will steadily increase to 20 by 2029. Democrats are doing their best to downplay this inconvenient reality in the hopes of improving midterm prospects. It’s a desperate, cynical strategy, and it’s unlikely to work. Voters will find out soon enough that, with the IRA, they’ve been sold a bill of goods — and an expensive one at that.

WEDITOR: hile reading the front page of the Monday, Aug. 29, paper I noticed a distinct disinterest in stating who made the decision to phase out gas cars. In the article it stated that was a unanimous vote. My question is by whom? Was it a committee? Was the entire state Assembly and Senate notified of this? Did every Democrat and Republican vote yes? By whose authority did this become the stated goal of this state?Mountain Democrat, you had better start asking questions rather than just sitting around reprinting garbage from the Sacramento Bee.

Letters Continued from A4 the argument is that it has always changed. And I don’t have the time to change their mind; you can’t fixHere’sstupid.what worries me at night — a worldwide pandemic that destroys our society, nuclear war from despots like China, Russia, India, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan and global cooling scares the heck out of me. Earth has had five ice ages throughout time and, in fact, we are currently in the fifth ice age. Did you not know this? In the ‘70s we were taught that global cooling, nuclear war and pollution would destroy America. Thanks to natural gas and a well-produced TV ad about pollution featuring a Native American, our country is one of the cleanest on this planet. We still have the reality of nuclear war and the inevitable pandemic to worry about. But I am not going to worry about the weather. I’m going to go outside and gets some sun because I predict that in six months it’ll be too cold outside to do so. Or will it? KEN CameronSTEERSPark Gas cars
Editor’s note: As stated in the second paragraph of the article provided by CalMatters, the rule was approved by the California Air Resources Board.
The data also shows: 81% of fatal boating incident victims drowned. Of those drowning victims with reported life jacket usage, 83% were not wearing a life jacket. In addition, the report identified alcohol as the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating incidents and the leading factor in 16% of deaths. “Boating is one of the safest forms of recreation out there but the data reconfirms to me that deaths associated with not wearing a life jacket and alcohol are among the most preventable,” adds Paul Barnard, Recreational Boating Safety Program specialist with the U.S. Coast Guard Eighth District. “It gives us a great sense of urgency to educate boaters and give them the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe.”

Operator inattention, operator inexperience, improper lookout, machinery failure and excessive speed ranked as the top five primary contributing factors in all incidents. Where data was known, the vessel types with the highest percentage of deaths were open motorboats (44%), kayaks (15%) and pontoons (15%).

The U.S. Coast Guard’s latest 2021 Recreational Boating Statistics Report revealed boating safety improved with a 15.4% drop in the fatality rate per 100,000 registered vessels since 2020 while incidents decreased by 15.7% to 4,439; total fatalities decreased by 14.2% to 658; and total injuries decreased by 17.2% to 2,641. Perhaps of greatest interest, these improved metrics emerged as boating sales and boating participation figures reached historic high-water marks among first-time boat owners including the 830,000 who purchased in 2020 and 2021 during pandemic.“Atthebeginning of the pandemic sales were increasing, but in-person safety courses had to be discontinued for obvious reasons,” states Water Sports Foundation Executive Director Jim Emmons in a news “However,release.most every boating safety course provider pivoted quickly and began o ering their courses online utilizing virtual education technology. Many of the course providers shared with me directly that after they o ered their courses online, they saw an attendance spike in theirEmmonsenrollments.”pointsout that the U.S. Coast Guard data shows the overwhelming majority of fatalities occurred on boats where the operator had not received boating safety instruction. Where boating safety instruction was known, 75% of fatalities occurred on boats in which the operator did not receive boating safety instruction. Only 16% of fatalities occurred on vessels where the operator had received a nationally approved boating safety education certificate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Action is attractive. Movement captivates attention and activates the senses such that there’s an inward quickening even while watching in perfect stillness. You will rev up your charisma by simply getting into motion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re friendly and relaxed because you trust yourself in social situations. You weren’t born with this skill. You earned it through trial and error. Now you’re onto new skills that you’ll eventually employ with equal success.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s fun to play your games; it’s less fun to play other people’s, especially the ones you didn’t sign up for. Still, you’re masterful as you shift moods, adapt to new circumstances and find the opportunities in whatever is happening.

You get the feeling you can add something special to another person’s life, but you’re not sure exactly how you’re going to do it. Coming up with the idea is the fun part.

Jacob Bassett Mountain Democrat correspondent E l Dorado County is proof that making a film with some of Hollywood’s greatest stars is not as outlandish a dream as some might think. Want to know more? Stop by the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce’s Business Showcase and I Love Film Mixer, scheduled Friday, Sept. 9, at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds 100 Placerville Drive, in Placerville. While California has always had a reputation for starring on the silver screen, fame isn’t restricted to Hollywood and the L.A. basin. Just ask Kathleen Dodge, the executive director of the El Dorado Lake Tahoe Film & Media Office. “Motion picture filming is big money and there’s great competition all over the world now,” Dodge explained. “At one time it was Hollywood … and now there are incentives all over the world — all over the United States competing for those dollars.” El Dorado County is quite popular among filmmakers — the site of hundreds of TV shows, commercials and even blockbuster movies such as “City of Angels” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” The mixer is an opportunity to connect local people and companies to movie makers so, working together, they might help bring a new production to life. Dodge boasted about the benefits of the movie industry coming to the county, assuring it’s a wonderful experience for those involved while providing a significant boost to the local economy.“Whenpeople come in on a big movie, they have expendable money. So they have a salary and then they generally have a per diem and

oftentimes … the per diem is thought of as ‘I’m on location; that’s what I spend here,’” she said.The bigger the movie, the more resources poured into the community, greatly reenergizing the economy, Dodge continued. And while a boosted economy is great, it’s also a real spectacle to be involved with a film production and, very often, she added, film companies look to locals to take care of certain needs, hiring local vendors to help with the production. Those who have hopes of appearing in a film might become an extra on the set though the chance varies from production to production. “... when Top Gun was here they were looking for some extras,” Dodge pointed out. “They were very specific about what

DAVIS — The Mondavi Center 2022-23 season of performing arts celebrates 20 years of presenting the finest in music, dance, speakers and theater. The season, presented by the Nancy and Hank Fisher Family Fund, begins in earnest Oct. 6 with a performance by the San Francisco Symphony almost 20 years to the day that the symphony appeared at the Mondavi Center’s Opening Gala. This time the symphony, led by new music director Esa-Pekka Salonen and featuring soprano Golda Schultz, will kick off a season that features the richness and variety audiences have come to expect from the Mondavi Center. Less earnest, perhaps, but decidedly more comical, “Weird Al” Yankovic appears in a preseason event Sept. 24. Almost four years after his first foray into unfamiliar concert territory, “Weird Al” Yankovic presses his luck again, this time with The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously SelfIndulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour. The season concludes May 21, 2023 with another orchestra event, the Curtis Symphony Orchestra featuring conductor Osmo Vänskä and Yefim Bronfman on piano. “We knew that our 20th anniversary season needed to be special,” said Mondavi Center executive director Don Roth. “That, as always, we would discover amazing new artists such as Emmet Cohen and Becca Stevens. That we would bring as well Mondavi Center favorites, when possible, exploring a different side of their talent, such as Yo-Yo Ma performing at the center of arguably the greatest piano trio in the world with Emanuel Ax and Leonidas Kavakos. “What we didn’t know, when we first started thinking about this anniversary season, is that we would be emerging from a time that has challenged every one of us — our staff, the artists we present and the patrons we welcome,” Roth continued. “I feel so fortunate that I get to work with the great Mondavi Center team to provide the kinds of restorative experiences — through music, dance, theater and lectures — that can lift us out of our daily life and concerns and provide enrichment, entertainment and joy.” See Mondavi Center page B4

You may wonder about how chutney and relish are very similar. Like relish, chutney is made from fruits or vegetables and also contains vinegar, sugar and spices. The main di erence between the two is a matter of consistency. The ingredients in relish are cooked in the spiced vinegar, but they maintain their texture and bite. Chutney, on the other hand, is usually slow-cooked until the ingredients break down and become soft. This long cooking time also tends to make chutney thicker than relish, which has a looser texture. If you want to know more about relishes, learn some recipes or check out classes go to the statewide UC Master Food Preserver website at mfp.ucanr.edu and the local UCCE Master Food Preservers of Central Sierra at (Archiveducanr.edu/sites/mfp_of_cs/Recipes).

Relish vs. chutney
The common thought is the word “relish” originated from the early French word “reles,” which translates to “remainder” or “leftover.” This could be from relishes being used to preserve leftover or excess vegetables and fruits. Eventually the word evolved into “relish,” meaning “appetizing flavor” and that title was attached to the condiment we know and love today. In the United States the most common relish is made from chopped pickled cucumbers, either dill or sweet pickles. It is used as a topping on sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs. But in other parts of the world, popular relishes are made with other ingredients. In England piccalilli is a turmeric-spiced relish made from cauliflower and other vegetables that’s served alongside ham, sausage or toast. In El Salvador curtido (made from cabbage, onions and carrots) is served with pupusas. Italy has mostarda, a fruit relish that’s served with fatty or rich meats. What do all these relishes have in common? Vinegar. It not only preserves the fruit and vegetables, but also brings relish’s characteristic acidic tang. Without it, relish would be nothing more than a slaw or a salad. (Vinegar also makes vegetables a high-acid food, allowing you to can it in either a boiling water or an atmospheric steam canner.)

You can try any fruits or vegetables in season — from tomatoes and corn to cranberries and apples. My a ection for making and preserving relishes came just last year when I made my first cucumber dill Relish. I had 15 pounds of pickling cucumbers from my garden and thought, “These are too big for pickles, so I’ll make relish.” Ten pints later I was hooked. Corn and football size zucchini made for good relish (so yummy, by the way) but a fresh fruit relish is next on my list. As we come to an end of this stone fruit season, we should all try our hand at fruit relishes.
Why is it called a relish?

Two remarkable theater events this season highlight social issues in unique ways. Why Not Theatre’s “Prince Hamlet,” Oct. 21-22, is a bilingual adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” told in American Sign Language and English. “Evolve,” Nov. 11-3, is a unique theatrical experience exploring divergent points of view between police and communities of color from Portland’s Red Door Project. World stage October features two remarkable Grammywinning vocalists from Latin America: Aida Cuevas, Oct. 12, is a legend in her native Mexico, as is her longtime group Mariachi Juvenil Tecalitlán; Venezuelan singer Nella, Oct. 29, is an emerging superstar who combines folkloric roots with contemporary rhythms. With a twist Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, an evening with Australian cabaret artist Meow Meow on March 31, 2023, will have you holding on to your seats (as she might try to take them from you) and grabbing for handkerchiefs. And, an orchestra made up entirely of ukuleles, leavened with a hefty dose of British humor make the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain one of the more popular — and hilarious — groups to regularly visit the Mondavi Center. See this show April 28, 2023.

Signal Peak Driving Interstate 80 you may look out at the many peaks and wonder what it looks like from the top. I can tell you the view is awesome from the top of Signal Peak — one of many mountain peaks among the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Views of Anderson Peak and Tinker Knob are a couple of favorites. The 3.2-mile trek doesn’t seem like much but keep in mind the 1,800-foot elevation gain. We are climbing a mountain. My sons’ favorite part was snow sledding down the mountainside. It was late in the season so there wasn’t enough snow to carry them too far to scare me. The lookout was another attraction although not much to see. It is a masonry shell of a lookout tower. Take Highway 80 east about 40 miles past Auburn to the Cisco Grove exit. Turn left back over the freeway. Turn left (west) on the frontage road and head to the store about a quartermile away. In the winter, buy a permit in the store and park in the plowed lot. In summer Fordyce Lake road begins slightly before the entry kiosk to the campground, on the north side of the road. The signage will direct you to Woodchuck Flat. If you don’t want to drive off-road you can choose to leave your car here and continue on foot. If you have a high clearance vehicle you can press on. Continue onto Fordyce Road approximately 1.15 mile to where the trail begins.
