Democracy?
Failed policies and one-sided politics are directly responsible for our una ordability crisis. A single political party has dominated all three branches of California government since 2011, imposing an endless series of taxes, regulations and unchecked government spending.Forexample, the first $1.30 that California drivers pay per gallon of gas goes toward taxes and fees alone — we pay the highest gas taxes in the nation. In 2017 the Legislature raised vehicle and fuel taxes by more than $5 billion annually. This year I introduced legislation to suspend the gas tax, yet the supermajority instead chose to let it go up even more.
The latest reminder of that: gas prices are going up in California even as they fall nationwide. Because of sky-high costs for gas, electricity, housing and just about everything else, our amazing state has become nearly uninhabitable for many hard-working families.Itdoesn’t have to be this way.
Brainwashed
DEDITOR:uring open forum at the Cameron Park Community Services District’s September Fire Committee meeting I brought up the out-of-control, heavy fuel load of weeds and bracken along Cameron Park Drive. I asked if either of the committee members has driven from south of Highway 50 up to Green Valley Road. I asked them to answer in a yes or no response. Because this was open forum they were able to hide from my question. Open forum is the public’s time to address items not on the agenda although when it suits the members’ purpose they will freely interject.Ipointed out that members of the board are paid $100 for every meeting they attend, including the one they were at. I suggested they spend some of that money and buy two gallons of gas and drive around Cameron Park and see the conditions of the community they supposedly serve and represent. I requested the CSD work with Cal Fire to alleviate the fire danger in Cameron Park.
While this is a nationwide problem, it is worse in our state than anywhere else because of misguided policy choices that continue to raise the cost of living.
I will continue to fight for policies that actually lower costs for all Californians. In addition to my legislation to suspend the gas tax, which would immediately lower gas prices by 54 cents per gallon, I support halting unnecessary and expensive energy mandates to lower consumer prices and stabilize our grid. We should remove costs that are unrelated to the provision of energy and promote resources that are reliable and easily deployed.

Look back at 2021 and see all the damage that your left side has done, Black Lives Matter, Antifa — where are they now? You couldn’t get Trump on the Russian hoax or his two impeachments. Look at how much money Pelosi and Schummer and Schi cost the American people.Ifyou are referring to unrest and violence from Jan. 6, that all happened because your side wanted it too. No National Guard was called out even though Trump called for them Jan. 4. This was all planned.Youare brainwashed to think that Biden is doing anything good for us. What about the border?

a huge win. The Legislature took up the issue in 2019, haggling for months over which industries would be exempt from the Supreme Court’s standards. Most notably, legislators refused to exempt drivers for delivery and ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft.
I then told them that they needn’t worry about not answering because I was going to email this question and request to every board member. I stated in my email that I wanted a reply from each board member to the yes or no question posed at the committee meeting. And if I didn’t get one I’d ask the question in a more public forum. I did this on Sept. 7 when the temperature was 108 in my backyard. The next day the Mosquito Fire entered El Dorado County.

Newsom said it “empowers our workers.”

We know what needs to be done in California. We need significant tax and regulatory reforms to ensure that every Californian can continue to call our state home. This is the only way to stop rising inflation and make life a ordable again.
e have now been told we have to buy electric cars. Not only are they expensive, but they are “buy-them-and-throw-themaway” cars. Why is that? Because if you think you’re saving money buying a used one you will find out that replacing the battery costs more than you paid for your used electric car.
The board needs to instruct the general manager to work with Cal Fire and the county to bring the fire hazards in Cameron Park under control.

I have heard nothing back from any of them. So I am asking the Cameron Park CSD Board of Directors to get on the stick and do something about weed abatement.

Legislation was passed in 2018 to eliminate cash bail for criminal defendants. The bail bond industry immediately launched a referendum campaign to put the issue to voters, but it could not go onto the ballot until 2020.
Mr. Taylor and people like you. First of all, Mr. Trump has done nothing wrong that Hillary Clinton or even Hunter Biden and the Big Guy hasn’t done before.
State needs to chart a new course to stop inflation
To make matters worse, the most expensive energy does not mean the most reliable. Days after the gaspowered car ban, government o cials were asking electric vehicle owners not to charge their cars due to severe energy shortages. An emergency alert texted to every Californian’s phone was the only reason the lights stayed on.These policies hurt lower-income Californians the most, as those who earn the least have to pay a higher share of their income to maintain a basic living. Yet politicians remain woefully out of touch with their struggles. Just recently, Sacramento voted for a state budget that all economic experts believe will drive up inflation even more. Even the federal Inflation Reduction Act’ will not reduce inflation, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget O ce.

A thank you sign to those fighting the Mosquito Fire off Main Street in Georgetown.
The Mosquito Fire started Sept. 6. Its cause remains under investigation.
The Tuesday morning incident report added, “Lingering areas of heat remain in pockets of smoldering heavy fuels and places such as stump holes.”

As expected, crews had a quiet nights Sunday and Monday, Fergulia said at Tuesday morning’s briefing, with just one call for service on the southern end of the fire Monday night. He also noted during an earlier briefing that some fire did continue to burn and progress along the Middle Fork of the American River.

still receptive to fire and will still burn. It’s pretty impressive to see that.”
A flash flood watch was to remain in effect through Tuesday but no major incidents of ash and debris flows were reported as of press time.
As of Tuesday morning the Mosquito Fire had scorched 76,290 acres in El Dorado and Placer counties with containment at 39%; 78 structures have been destroyed with another 13 damaged. Only 244 people remain evacuated after a high of nearly 12,000 people; 3,037 emergency personnel continue to work to the incident.
Through Tuesday morning, 3/4 to 2 inches of rain had fallen in the fire area and more was expected through Tuesday night.
While crews held containment lines, Georgetown residents headed back to their homes after their evacuation order was lifted Sept. 16. A few days later residents of Volcanoville and Quintette were allowed to go back home and survey the damage.
“The rain is going to keep it in its fire footprint for now,” said said Cal Fire fire behavior analyst Jonathan Pangburn.
Fire officials also note that additional precipitation does come with its own hazards. “This landscape is already steep and rugged,” states an incident report, “and it becomes even more treacherous with the addition of rain, making the terrain muddy and slippery.”

The weather is expected to dry out and warm up in the coming days.

“Years ago, while working at a San Francisco ad/PR agency I was assigned to help Yosemite’s hotels attract visitors in autumn, then a low season,” Poimiroo explained. “We created an ad that read, “Why go to New England?” My account executive (a Bostonian) objected, insisting there was no fall color in California to compare. So, I sent her and her husband to spend the weekend in Yosemite. She came back a believer.

Another difference across North America is that fall color appears first in Canada then descends by latitude. This means that in states where everything is at the same elevation, if visitors miss seeing peak color in one location, they’ve probably missed it everywhere. Whereas in California, because fall color peaks by elevation, if it has peaked at one elevation it’s still peaking lower down. California also benefits from the

A utumn is rarely seen by Californians, unless they head to the mountains. Many Golden Staters have no idea that California has one of the longest-lasting, most diverse and — as claimed by John Poimiroo, editor of CaliforniaFallColor.com — “among the most spectacular shows of fall color seen in North BecauseAmerica.”80%ofCalifornians live along the Pacific coast (where there is little natural fall color), unless they travel to the mountains they have little idea this is happening. That explains why Poimiroo chose for his website’s motto, “Dude, autumn happens here too.”

Then it descends at a rate of 500 to 1,000 feet per week until December, when the last warm flashes of autumn color burn out near the coast, giving California the distinction of having peak fall color in four months of the year.

“Easterners and midwesterners seem obsessed with predicting where and when peak will occur and whether weather might spoil it, because if they miss the window when conditions are perfect they miss it entirely,” Poimiroo noted. “Not so in California, where the state’s extreme range of elevations and consistently mild weather dependably result in predictable peak color, year in, year out.”

• Christie Johnson was responsible for the design of the garden. She will discuss the basic steps involved and why she selected the plants she did.
Native plants meet many needs. Shop for water-efficient plants — very practical choices since the state is in the middle of a terrible drought. There will be many plants that attract birds, butterflies and provide foods for native critters. Looking for plants that put on a show of flowers in the spring or summer, or fall? How about groundcover?Thosewhohave more questions after they have made their first selections from the database of possible plants can look them up on Calscape (calscape.org which has detailed descriptions of growing conditions and uses of the plants chosen.Asan example for those who want blue flowers in the front yard and have selected silver bush lupine. Calscape shares that the plant needs full sun and fast draining soil, how tall it is likely to grow (3-5 feet), which butterflies it might attract (a bunch) and when it will flower (spring and summer). Perhaps this is perfect.
Patrons are encouraged to come early with picnics dinners, chairs and jackets as it does get chilly once the sun goes down. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For this production of “Gold Fire” the Kennedy Mine Foundation will sell wine and concessions will also be available.Theamphitheater is located on the Kennedy Mine property.

The invasive evergreen, oleander, Nerium oleander, originating in the Mediterranean basin, is one of the deadliest in our region. It is not a G-rated plant. Everything about this plant is dangerous and poisonous: from the lance-shaped leaves’ sharp tips to its brightly colored flowers, treelike branches, roots, sap and even itsIfbark.ingested, or even touched, it can be harmful and possibly lethal. Most highly at risk are children, pets and livestock. The only saving grace is that the leaves and flowers are very bitter. This generally does not encourage munching as it is unpalatable to humans and most animals.Theplant contains cardiac glycosides. The main one is called oleandrin. If ingested, it can cause myriad life-threatening symptoms, including arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), dizziness, diarrhea and vomiting. Touching the leaves can cause irritation to the skin, with the sap of the plant potentially causing skin rashes, itchiness and blurred vision. Take care when pruning or handling the plant by wearing protective gloves, outerwear and safety glasses.Various sources have indicated that pruned leaves and branches should not be thrown on your compost pile. Do not burn clippings because the smoke can be toxic. Your best option for safe removal is to bag it and take it to the Theredump.have been numerous urban legends about oleanders. The bestknown story is about a group of Scouts

who used oleander twigs to spear and roast hot dogs over the campfire. Tragically, they were poisoned and the entire group succumbed. True or not, it serves as a strong cautionary tale.
A bit of good news is that while all parts of oleanders are poisonous, it does not affect the soil it’s growing in or the plants around it.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few garden plants considered poisonous. For more information on these plants, or parts of plants, take a few minutes to check out Poisonous Plants, a University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources publication:

“Iwondered why it had to be so poisonous. Oleanders could live through anything; they could stand heat, drought, neglect and put out thousands of waxy blooms. So what did they need poison for? Couldn’t they just be bitter?”Thatquote is from the novel “White Oleander” by Janet Fitch, where a character kills her cheating boyfriend with a highly poisonous elixir made with white oleander petals. Spoiler alert: the jealous woman is sentenced to life imprisonment for murder.
