Motorcycle crash claims man’s life Eric Jaramishian Staff writer A Lincoln man was killed in a motorcycle crash on Highway 193 near Garden Valley Road in Garden Valley Saturday afternoon.

California Highway Patrol officials said James Plympton, 48, was traveling southbound on his 2007 Suzuki motorcycle when he entered a sweeping curve north of Chicken Flat Road and was ejected from his bike, striking a tree after leaving the roadway.

Placerville CHP officers, along with medics, were dispatched to the scene at approximately 12:30 p.m., according to officer Brent McElmurry.

Weather conditions were clear and dry, according to the CHP collision report.

Despite life-saving efforts from first responders, Plympton succumbed to his injuries, McElmurry said.

DUI is not suspected to be a factor in the crash.

Ray Bosnich holds up a Placerville City Council proclamation honoring his 38 years of service to the Placerville Police Department. Bosnich has spent a total of 55 years in public service, ranging from military to a stint in firefighting followed by police work. He officially retired this summer.

Drivers urged to watch for wildlife

Bosnich reflects on 55 years in law enforcement

Tim Daly California Department of Fish and Wildlife It’s that time of year when the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reminds drivers to be aware of wildlife on state roads and highways.

Every autumn, as daylight saving time concludes, the number of vehicle-wildlife collisions on California roadways increases. As drivers adjust to less daylight during the evening commute during the first week of November, this is also the time of year deer, elk, bears and other animals are typically on the move for migration, mating or foraging.

Nearly 400 people were injured in more than 2,000 collisions in 2019 involving wildlife, according to the California Highway Patrol. Also, the UC Davis Road Ecology Center estimates the total annual cost of animal-vehicle conflicts in California to be about $250 million.

“Wildlife-vehicle collisions pose an increasingly significant threat to both people and wildlife and can result in serious injury or death,” said CDFW Human-Wildlife Conflict Program Coordinator Vicky Monroe. “This time of year large native species such as deer and elk are more likely to cross highways or roads during their mating season (rut) and black bears are on the search for food. We ask drivers to remain cautious, vigilant and aware of their surroundings while driving to help reduce this conflict.”

Driving safety tips that benefit wildlife include: • Be extra alert when driving near areas wildlife frequent, such as streams and rivers, and reduce

ay Bosnich was living in Petaluma in 1979, returning from a twoweek camping trip with his two daughters and wife when he got a call from a Placerville Police Department’s lieutenant.

Bosnich had applied to work for the law agency after 10 years with the San Francisco Police Department and was third on the list of potential hires.

As fate would have it, an opening came up and the Bay Area-native found himself selling his home and finding a new one in Pleasant Valley.

Bosnich worked his very first PPD shift on a Sunday — Wagon Train Day. “Back in those days, Wagon Train Day was considerably different than it is today,” Bosnich said. “We had a lot of rough and rowdy going on in

Then there was the Wagon Train dance over at the fairgrounds after the parade, so they pretty much needed all hands on deck and anyone else they could get in the meantime. That was my first exposure.”

uneventful. Forty-four years later, the now-retired 76-yearold Bosnich reflects on his nearly 55 years in law enforcement service, 38 of which he spent in Placerville.

George A. Wheeldon

We are sad to announce the passing of George A. Wheeldon of Shingle Springs, CA. George died October 20, 2023 at the age of 89, after a lengthly illness.

George was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and moved with his parents to Salinas. CA. when his father was stationed at Fort Ord upon his return from overseas in World War II. In high school, George loved playing football and the French horn with the Monterey Symphony, excelling at both with an offer of a music scholarship to UOP upon graduation. He attended Hartnell Junior College in Salinas, where his football team won the national championship and went to the Junior Rose Bowl, an experience he treasured.

It was at Hartnell College that he took his first geology class, and the course of his life changed.

George graduated from San Jose State with a degree in Geology, Zoology and Chemistry/Physics, but geology was his first true love. He returned to school for a master’s degree in secondary education and a teaching credential. He brought his young family to El Dorado County in 1960 for his first teaching job at El Dorado High School, teaching biology and coaching multiple sports teams.

George loved to snow ski, and in addition to teaching various science classes at El Dorado, he coached football and was the ski team coach during his years at El Dorado High School. George began a geology club at the high school and later received a National Science Foundation fellowship to pursue a master’s degree in Geology at the university of South Dakota. Upon his return to Placerville in 1965 he persuaded American River College (now Folsom Lake) (affectionately known to locals as UBR University behind Raleys) to offer a class in geology.

He went on the teach college classes in chemistry, physical science, biology, and many different geology classes, including physical geology, mineralogy, paleontology, and his favorite, Mining History of the Mother Lode. Not limited to Folsom Lake College, he taught classes at UC Davis, Sac State, American River College, and Cosumnes River college. Field trips as part of his geology classes were a novel idea he pursued at Folsom Lake College, firmly believing that geology needs to be studied in the field and the classroom. For over 40 years, he led groups of 50 150 students of field trips, along with his wife Mary Jane, one or more of his children and grandchildren, along with many people from the community.

George’s field trips were legendary, often eventful and always enjoyable.

He loved meeting up with former students, who would see him and excitedly recount the escapades from his field trip days.

In 1970, George began a consulting business in which he prepared landslide mapping, studied mining geology, created mineral evaluations of abandoned mines and conducted thousands of percolation studies. In 1980 he retired full-time from teaching to concentrate on his consulting business.

In 2001, George left consulting and was elected to serve on the El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors for 12 years. He was also involved with Mark Smith and Jeep Jamboree USA and was a resource when the Jeepers Jamboree went on their trips. He would travel to the backcountry of Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, and California, often by helicopter and would share the geological history of the areas they visited. George traveled extensively with Mary Jane - trips to Italy, Egypt, Germany, France Machu Picchu and Peru, along with a sailing trip to the Greek Islands with Mary Jane and friends.

Always the adventurer, George went skydiving to celebrate his 80th birthday. A lifelong Democrat, he loved a lively political debate. He was a diehard 49er fan who loved gourmet food and a good bottle of red wine. He was a voracious reader and always had three or four books going at once. He will be missed by many in the community especially by his family.

George is survived by a large family - his devoted wife, Mary Jane; a daughter, Kathleen Hall (Fred), sons Greg Wheeldon (Diane) , Mark Wheeldon, and Dave Wheeldon; a step-daughter, Teri Davis; a step-son Trent Davis ( Tina); thirteen grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his step-son Sheldon Davis, and his parents William Wheeldon and Madeleine Wheeldon.

George was a rare combination of talents, but at heart, always an educator. He touched hundreds of lives throughout his long and storied career. George’s life will be celebrated Thursday, November 16 at 1:00 p.m., at Green Valley Community Church in Placerville, CA. If desired, memorial contributions may be made to the El Dorado County Mineral & Gem Society, c/o Fred Ott, P.O. Box 950, Placerville, CA. 95667.

Rogene Lousie Prange

Gladys “Fay” Buel

Rogene Louise Prange (Mom / G-MA) sadly passed away peacefully in her home in El Dorado Hills on October 8, 2023.

Rogene and her late husband Harry Prange were partners in the Prange’s Fabrics, Crafts, Variety and Shoe stores of Placerville, Cameron Park, North Highlands, Reno, and Fallon Nevada. Rogene was the hands-on owner that managed and taught sewing and crafts in the Placerville and Cameron Park stores and was the backbone of the Prange’s store success.

Mom was born in Omaha Nebraska on November 16th, 1935. She moved to Southern California with her parents (Harold and Marion Embury) and two brothers (Rodger and Harold) in the 1940’s. She grew up and went to school in Van Nuys, CA. It was here she met the love of her life Harry Prange. In 1955 they got married and moved to Sacramento, CA. Soon after moving to Sacramento, they decided to become entrepreneurs and make the bold decision to open their first store on 16th street in downtown Sacramento. In late 1957 they had their first son Craig and then moved to Town & Country area of Sacramento where they had two more children Stephen and Laura. In 1967 they bought property and built a beautiful home in Hidden Valley (Granite Bay) where they raised their children and met so many wonderful friends. “We were truly blessed to be raised by such an amazing Mom and Dad in Hidden Valley. The memories and friends we made in Hidden Valley are still with all of us today. Mom was talking about those wonderful days just a few days before she passed.”

Rogene and Harry moved from Hidden Valley to Camino, CA in the mid 1980’s. They loved being in the beautiful big pine trees in the Apple Hill area. Mom loved being so close to her store in Placerville. They sold their stores in the late 1980’s and retired. They enjoyed their retirement years together by traveling and using their new RV with friends and family.

During her retirement, Mom enjoyed giving her extra time volunteering at Snowline Hospice and helping them with their retail stores. They lived in Camino until 1999. In 1999 Rogene and Harry moved to a beautiful home in El Dorado Hills. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and passed away only 1 year later, April 1, 2000.

Rogene met many new friends, continued volunteering her time for Snowline Hospice, and loved being with her family and so close to her grandchildren.

She enjoyed her wine club, bunko friends, neighbors, new boyfriends and so much more. Rogene loved to have fun and we all enjoyed having fun with Rogene. To all Friends and Family of Rogene: “We are so grateful for the love and friendship you have provided to our Mom / G-MA. Mom’s loving and fun spirit will be with us forever. Rogene truly loved all of you”.

Rogene is survived by her children Stephen (Laura) Prange and Laura (Patrick O’Brien) Willms, her (G-Ma) five grandchildren Airica, Alexander, Brendan, Carson and Alyssa, and her brother Rodger.

Pollock Pines became their forever home in 1971 where they raised their family. Fay worked for the Pollock Pines School District for 25 years where most of the students knew her as “Misses Cook”.

Some folks still remember the famous cinnamon rolls and her kind nature of making sure no child went without a meal. Fay went on to work as an administrative support clerk for the next 20 years for the El Dorado National Forest where she retired in June of 2022. Fay enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Her grandsons were her top priority and she always attended Sam and Max’s sporting events and school functions. She was known for cooking, reading Danielle Steele books, crafting, sewing, attending the Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee, and drinking cold beer. Fay was truly a great woman whose impact will forever be felt by her family that loves her dearly. She was the most loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

She was a selfless woman whose passing has left a hole in the hearts of her family. Her ability to sacrifice, provide, support, forgive and love will forever be ingrained in everyone she knew. No services are scheduled at this time.

obituaries Federal funding would boost Elizabeth Taft Atencio water agency fire readiness Nov. 17, 1941 – Oct. 11, 2023

News release WASHINGTON D. C. — Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would allocate $7.25 million to help protect water agency infrastructure in California’s 3rd Congressional District against fire.

If the legislation is also supported by a Senate majority, the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District would get $1.25 million to construct a 2-million-gallon fire-resilient water storage tank to aid in fire suppression efforts, according to a news release from the office of Congressman Kevin Kiley.

The South Tahoe Public Utility District would see $1 million to replace deteriorating waterlines, improve infrastructure and install new fire hydrants.

The fiscal year 2024 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill would provide $42.695 billion nationwide.

“The local projects approved by the House today will significantly bolster firefighting capabilities and access to safe drinking water across the Tahoe region and Eastern Sierra,” said Kiley.

“Protecting our communities against wildfires and assuring a reliable water supply have been among my very highest priorities, and I want to thank the community leaders who worked with me to help make the case for these projects. I urge prompt passage of this appropriations bill in the Senate so the funding can be deployed right away.”

Other 3rd Congressional District projects that would see

funding include: • $2 million to the city of Loyalton to replace the deteriorating main water line and ensure access to safe drinking water, as well as enable the fire department to better fight fires.

• $1.25 million to the North Tahoe Public Utility District to replace old and undersized water pipes, install new fire hydrants and improve water supply for fire suppression in Kings Beach.

• $1.25 million to the San Juan Water District to replace the aging Kokila Reservoir with a new partially buried prestressed tank. The project would ensure more than 330,000 Placer and Sacramento County residents continue to have access to safe and reliable drinking water.

The bill passed in the House by a vote of 213-203.

County water managers aim for resilience, better forecasting El Dorado Water Agency News release El Dorado Water Agency’s fifth Countywide Plenary for Water focused on aligning watershed management with economic development and community resilience, as well as investments needed to improve hydrologic forecasting, to better handle droughts, floods and other disasters.

The overarching theme, Creating Synergy Among Economic Prosperity, Watershed Health and Community Resilience, resonated with attendees, who related to issues of fragmentation and appreciated the opportunity to connect on watershed and climate-related issues impacting the region.

Leaders and experts — from water and energy utilities; state, local, federal and tribal governments; and business and community organizations — spoke about the intricacies of water and watershed management and expressed a desire for greater collaboration.

District 4 State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil delivered the keynote address. With insight gained from local projects, including the proposed Alder Creek Reservoir and Conservation Project, which the senator recently toured,

Alvarado-Gil said water policy was her No. 1 priority in the next legislative session. She encouraged public participation in the legislative process and asked for attendees’ continued input on the best ideas, policies and legislative proposals.

Aligning watershed management with economic development A panel of five was asked how to sustain a thriving rural economy, not overly dependent on growth, without jeopardizing El Dorado County resources.

Leading the discussion was District 3 Supervisor Wendy Thomas, also an El Dorado Water Agency director.

Comprising the panel were El Dorado Farm Bureau President Mike Ranalli, Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Cultural Resources Executive Director James Sarmento and environmental scientist Zach Gigone, county Planning and Building Department senior planner Anna Leanza and county Department of Transportation senior civil engineer Zachary Oates.

Panelists stressed community participation (attending events, building relationships, personal involvement) is a critical element.

In breakout groups, attendees noted although everyone in El Dorado County generally agrees on their predominantly ruralagricultural preferred way of life, there are differences in opinions on how this is manifested.

New forecasting tech A second panel discussed how investments that support enhanced forecasting, data acquisition, information sharing and the integration of different tools are needed to improve watershed management and flood preparedness. El Dorado Water Agency General Manager Rebecca Guo led the discussion.

Selected for the panel were El Dorado Irrigation District hydrologist Jordan Baxter, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency Director of Planning Gary Bardini, California Department of Water Resources Division of Flood Management Manager Dave Rizzardo and Bureau of Reclamation Water Operations California-Great Basin region Manager Elizabeth Kiteck.

The panelists described how local, state and federal agencies collaborate to use the newest data and technology to improve forecasting and flood management. Breakout groups

Reasons include damage or decay that’s too advanced to repair, crowding, infection, and loose teeth caused by periodontal disease. A dentist or oral surgeon will perform the extraction. You’ll receive injections of local anesthetic to numb the area, although sometimes general anesthesia is used instead. If the tooth is impacted, often the case with wisdom teeth, the dentist will need to remove the gum and bone tissue around the tooth before loosening it from the jawbone to remove it. A tooth that’s difficult to remove may be extracted in pieces. Dissolving stiches may be used to close the gum over the extraction area.

With our focus on prevention and education, we dedicate ourselves to keeping our patients out of the dental chair for tooth extractions and other threats to their oral health. We provide the highest quality oral care services so that you’ll spend less time in treatment and more time enjoying your healthy smile. We offer complete general dental care including repair of damage caused by trauma or neglect, periodic cleanings, and full mouth reconstruction. We also provide cosmetic dentistry for the sunniest smiles possible.

P.S. People with certain conditions like liver disease, immune system disorders, and some heart conditions will require antibiotics before an extraction to prevent an oral infection from spreading.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry.

His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

California Matters

Get serious about water management

O

ct. 1 is the beginning of what hydrologists call the “water year.”

Historically, California’s reservoirs are near their lowest levels by this point after months of being drawn down, mostly to irrigate fields and DAN WALTERS orchards, during the state’s precipitationfree summer.

This October is quite different.

Last winter’s heavy rain and snow storms, generated by a series of atmospheric rivers, filled reservoirs even as dam managers fully opened their gates to send as much water downstream as possible.

So much rain and snow fell in the southern San Joaquin Valley that Tulare Lake, once one of the nation’s largest natural lakes, was recreated and threatened the town of Corcoran.

Virtually every reservoir in the California’s reservoirs state contains are more full than more than 100% of their historical usual thanks to last storage levels at winter’s heavy rain the beginning of and snow storms. the water year.

The biggest ones, Scientists believe such as Shasta that the state could and Oroville, are see a repeat. close to threequarters full even after giving farmers their full quotas of irrigation water during the growing season.

Hydrologists and meteorologists, moreover, are telling Californians that they may see a repeat in the months ahead, thanks to a phenomenon known as El Niño, and it potentially could surpass last winter’s storms.

El Niño is a warm current that often results in huge amounts of Pacific Ocean water being sucked into the atmosphere and delivered to land as rain and snow.

“The anticipated strong El Niño is the predominant climate factor driving the U.S. winter outlook this year,” Jon Gottschalck, chief of the operational prediction branch at NOAA’s

SUMMARY

■ See WALTERS, page A5

Letters to the Editor CO2 in the biosphere EDITOR: ongressman Doug LaMalfa (CA District 1) recently asked Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, in a congressional hearing, what percentage of the atmosphere was CO2. It’s 0.04%, which the secretary didn’t know yet he forged ahead to explain that we need to eliminate fossil fuels to avoid catastrophic global warming.

Such is the state of the union. Our elected officials are making multi-trillion-dollar decisions to implement a Green New Deal but they understand virtually nothing about the science of climate change except what the corrupt UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells them.

Climate change due to CO2 depends on an assumption that any CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels stays in the atmosphere forever, building up a CO2 “cloud” that is irrevocably heating the Earth. Indeed, the Mauna Loa CO2 record shows a continuous increase since 1950.

Thirty-five research studies conducted by multiple researchers from 1957-1992 found the residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere ranged from two to 20 years with an average time of 7.9 years. The IPCC claims a lifetime from 50 to 200 years. Consequently, there is little chance of a catastrophic build up of CO2 in the atmosphere. It gets dispersed throughout the biosphere as plant life and the oceans consume the excess CO2.

Segalstad, one of the researchers, showed the lifetime of CO2 in the atmosphere is about five years based on the radioactive decay of Carbon 14 atoms created in the 1960s with atomic bomb testing. Ice core samples and direct measurement chemical techniques and instruments were also studied. Segalstad points out that 19 Northern European stations that used established chemical

C

techniques showed no rising or falling CO2 levels from 1955 through 1959.

Another paper published in 2023 shows it is reasonable that the concentration of CO2 in the oceans and the atmosphere follows Henry’s Law that states the concentrations in the two sinks of CO2 are dependent on temperature. Thus CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere will rise with rising temperatures as the oceans release CO2 and any perturbation such as the burning of fossil fuels will quickly disperse according to the laws of equilibrium in nature. This agrees with the discovery that the stalling of the economy and the severe reduction in carbon emissions during the COVID pandemic had no visible impact on the dynamics of the atmosphere.

The point of this short summary of the science of CO2 and climate change is that the IPCC narrative is not settled science. There are many questions about how our climate changes and the IPCC models ignore most of them. Why should we believe complex computer models that violate physics laws that we’ve known for over 150 years? The CO2 narrative also violates the laws of quantum mechanics discovered in the early 20th century. All gases absorb and emit radiation. CO2 is not unique in this characteristic. We’re spending trillions of dollars to mitigate a problem that doesn’t exist.

Pines) water treatment plants.

Why bonds? Low-interest bond funding makes the most sense when you are paying for high-value, long-lived projects that will benefit generations of ratepayers.

The board also accepted the cost of service analysis prepared with the help of outside experts. At the same time, the board authorized the issuance of a Proposition 218 notice detailing proposed rate increases beginning in 2024 and continuing through 2028.

Our in-depth cost-of-service analysis showed us we would not be able to achieve the needed reinvestment in our critically important infrastructure without adjusting rates. The COSA identifies the necessity for a 12% annual revenue increase for drinking and recycled water services over the next five years and a 3% increase for wastewater services, critical for meeting operational expenses, bond obligations, and funding reserves.

But what does that really mean on your bimonthly bill?

In 2024 an average EID residential bimonthly water bill will increase by $16.81 per two-month bill — a little more than $8 per month. For an average combined water and sewer bill, the change is $19.61

every two months. In 2025 through 2028, similar increases are expected and they are shown in detail on the Proposition 218 notice.

I cannot emphasize enough how important those extra dollars are to helping us reinvest in our aging infrastructure and keeping our services safe and reliable.

EID issued the Proposition 218 notice to all of its customers by mail.

The notice outlines all proposed rate adjustments in detail. Customers can protest the proposed rates by following the directions enclosed on that notice or on the web at eid.org/ Prop218. The web page also includes a calculator that will help our residential customers (water, sewer and recycled water) calculate how the 2024 rates will affect their bills.

I hope you will look closely at that notice and review the projects that have been featured in the Waterfront and on our website and social media channels throughout the year.

We are mindful of the effects any rate adjustment has on our customers and the communities we serve. We believe we have developed rates that meet, but do not exceed, the costs required to provide each of EID’s vital services.

Jim Abercrombie is general manager of EID.

Water meeting

Continued from A4 expand storage in the San Luis Reservoir, a major off-stream facility in the Pacheco Pass.

San Luis absorbs water from the California Aqueduct that’s not currently needed and releases it on demand. It has the capacity to store 2 million acre-feet now and the new project will add another 130,000 acre-feet of capacity.

It’s one out of a flurry of storage projects now in the works, including another off-stream reservoir on the west side of the Sacramento Valley called Sites. That project has been kicking around for decades and is finally gaining political approval and serious commitments of money.

Off-stream storage avoids the environmental issues of dams that plug rivers, such as Shasta and Oroville, and adversely affect fish and other wildlife.

State water authorities believe that, with climate change, California will receive more of its precipitation as rain, rather than snow. It’s critical, therefore, that we have storage, both above-ground and in aquifers, to replace the natural reservoir of the Sierra snowpack as it recedes.

The message is finally hitting home.

Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Climate Prediction Center, told the Los Angeles Times.

He and other weather scientists predict that California and other Western states will see above-average precipitation and some believe it could surpass the 1997-98 winter when floods and mudslides killed 17 Californians and caused $1 billion in property damage.

“It’s only been seen three times previously in the historical record,” Stephen Yeager, project scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, told public radio station KQED. “We are looking at the potential of a major season-long event that could impact people and their livelihoods.”

The prospect of another heavy precipitation winter is both uplifting to a state that had experienced several years of drought prior to last winter and a little frightening.

Mostly, it’s another warning to Californians — and particularly their politicians — that it’s beyond time to take the state’s water situation seriously and become more proactive on both flood protection and water storage.

The good news is that after years of dithering, some significant progress is being made on rationalizing water management in California.

Federal and local water officials recently announced the approval of a project that would

Football roundup

Diamondbacks hunting revenge in Pride rematch Isaac Streeter Mountain Democrat correspondent Only two El Dorado County varsity football squads remain in the SacJoaquin Section championship race entering the second round of playoffs.

The No. 6 Union Mine Diamondbacks secured their first playoff win in 13 years playing in the SJS D6 bracket, emerging victorious over the No. 11 Calaveras Redhawks by a score of 20-13.

Diamondbacks running back Julio Hernandez got to scoring early, ripping off a 63-yard rushing touchdown to put his squad up by 6 following a missed extra point. Backfield-mate Brock Buak III got in on the scoring action as did quarterback Joey Griffiths with a passing touchdown from their Wing T offense.

Union Mine’s boys came up with a critical turnover in the waning minutes of the game, forcing and recovering a fumble with around two minutes left to prevent the Redhawks from a potentially game-winning drive.

The win means the Diamondbacks get a rematch with league rival, the No. 3 Bradshaw Christian Pride. The Pride previously beat the Diamondbacks by a score of 19-7 in a game that was marred by inconveniently-timed turnovers for the Diamondbacks.

Both the Diamondbacks and the Pride run similar styles of offense that predicate on getting as many bodies on the line of scrimmage and close to the ball as possible.

The Diamondbacks have been wildly successful with their run-first Wing T-style offense this season. Jayden Tinker was a 1,400-yard rusher in the scheme, while Buak made for a great sledgehammer from the fullback spot and Hernandez brought the speed.

The Pride favors the double-wing.

They’ve had a great deal of success running the ball from under-center with a 1,000-yard rusher in Mateo Mojica. The Pride, however, are willing to pass out of the look, boasting a 1,000-yard passer in Ethan Rickert.

Union Mine’s squad will get its chance to settle the score this Friday when they make their second trip to the Pride’s home turf this season.

Oak Ridge

Golden Sierra

Competing in the SJS D7A bracket, the No. 8 Golden Sierra Grizzlies saw their playoff hopes dashed by the No. 1 Ripon Christian Knights over 100 miles from home by a score of 63-0.

The No. 2 Oak Ridge Trojans are back in action this week after receiving a first-round bye in the SJS D1 bracket.

They’ll be taking on the No. 6 Turlock Bulldogs following their first-round steamrolling of the No. 11 Sheldon

Huskies by a score of 57-14.

Both Turlock and Oak Ridge feature balanced attacks offensively. Oak Ridge’s Joaquin Graves-Mercado has been at the helm all year and passed for more than 2,000 yards, while their pair of backs, Eric Orme Jr. and Jason Womack, have run for over 750 apiece and combined for 21 touchdowns.

Turlock’s offense has seen 15 different players as ball carriers out of the backfield, but the combined effort has matched Oak Ridge’s pair nearly identically with more than 1,400 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.

Through the air it’s been quarterback Vicent Gonzales who accounted for eight touchdowns.

Gonzales has also been responsible for six interceptions, with the entire Turlock quarterback room throwing 12 on the season. The Trojan defense has only come down with four total on the season, but the Bulldog’s turnover issues could be one Oak Ridge’s boys look to exploit in front of what should be a packed crowd in El Dorado Hills.

Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. Friday night as the Trojans continue their march toward a section title and a potential rematch with the Folsom Bulldogs.

Ski free with a Lake Tahoe license plate News release Plates for Powder, the annual program that offers free skiing and riding opportunities to those who purchase a Lake Tahoe license plate, is back again for the 2023-24 winter season. Proceeds from plate sales and renewals support environmental improvement projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

“Funds raised through the sales and renewal of Lake Tahoe license plates have helped support us as we manage projects like the Dennis T. Machida Memorial Greenway and recreation sites like Van Sickle Bi-State Park, in addition to our environmental restoration projects,” said Adam Acosta, California Tahoe Conservancy board chair.

Through the Plates for Powder program, California and Nevada drivers who buy a new Lake Tahoe license plate before April 1, 2024, receive a free lift ticket or trail pass valid at one of 14 Tahoe-area resorts, while supplies last. The ticket must be used during the 2023-24 winter season.

Participating resorts include Boreal, Diamond Peak,

Heavenly, Homewood, Kirkwood, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, Northstar California, Palisades Tahoe, Royal Gorge, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, Tahoe City Winter Sports Park, Tahoe XC and Tahoe Donner.

The Tahoe Fund has organized the Plates for Powder program on behalf of the California Tahoe Conservancy and Nevada Division of State Lands for more than a decade. More than 95% of the funds generated by plate sales and renewals help pay for new hiking and biking trails, watershed restoration projects and protect Lake Tahoe’s beaches and blue waters.

“Since 2011 the Plates for Powder program has been an increasingly popular and unique way for California and Nevada residents to give back to Tahoe,” said Amy Berry, Tahoe Fund CEO. “Not only are license plate purchasers helping to fund environmental projects in the Tahoe Basin, they’re rewarded by Tahoe area ski resorts with a day of play in the mountains.”

New Tahoe license plates cost $50 in California, with a $40 annual renewal fee. Purchase a plate and redeem the free lift ticket at tahoeplates.com.

Ray Bosnich is pictured with K9 officer Poncho, his partner at the San Francisco Police Department in 1977.

Bosnich

Continued from A1

people here was considerably different than (in San Francisco),” Bosnich explained. “For instance, you come in contact with somebody in San Francisco, whether a victim of a crime or whatever, and you take a report from them and chances are you’ll never see them again. Here, you see people on a continual basis to the point where they know you by your first name and vice versa.

“When people wave to you up here, they use all five fingers,” Bosnich jokingly added.

Bosnich’s beat as an on-foot patrol officer was downtown Placerville from Cedar Ravine Road to Forni Road, where he made an effort to interact with all the merchants, becoming an unofficial liaison between the police department and the Downtown Merchants Association.

“Every once in a while I would stop into a different merchant’s stores and talk to them, see how things are going and see if they had any issues that needed to be dealt with. That is an old style way of doing police work,” Bosnich said.

Bosnich would go on to retire in 2001, but not completely. He spent six years as a non-uniform civilian volunteering for PPD’s cadet program, which he helped start in the ’90s.

After 2007, Bosnich spent the rest of his time helping out at the law enforcement agency’s front office, conducting live scan fingerprinting and other administrative duties.

“I would take over those duties when the primary person went on vacation, had a day off or was sick,” Bosnich said. “It was a jack-of-alltrades and a master-of-none position, which was good for me. It kept me around the police department, kept me in touch with things and I enjoyed the heck out of that.”

Bosnich has had a seasoned career in law enforcement. After graduating from San Rafael High School in 1965, he got a seasonal job as a firefighter for the state of California, based in Sonoma County. Bosnich would go on to pre-enlist in the Army before the fire season ended and was stationed at Fort Holabird working in military intelligence before applying for a transfer to Vietnam — Bosnich said he was “bored” in Baltimore.

Bosnich was stationed 14 miles northwest of Saigon for a year before coming back to the states and taking a deal with the Army to commit to a law enforcement agency. His father’s friend, the sheriff of Marin County at the time, hired him “right off the street” as an Army dispatcher before becoming a full-time deputy in 1968 without formal academy training.

“It was a little nerve-wracking,” Bosnich said. “The guys I worked around were all very good folks and sort of took me under their wing and guided me along.”

Bosnich applied to the San Francisco Police Department in 1969,

going through its academy during a time of anti-government and anti-law enforcement sentiment.

“Cops were getting shot on a continual basis. They blew up a police station in San Francisco at one time, which happened just before I got onto the streets in San Francisco. The times were tense,” Bosnich reflected.

Bosnich dealt with bomb threats and shootings during his time in San Francisco. He remembered trying to save people from an apartment building that had become completely engulfed in flames after someone poured gasoline around the structure and set it on fire.

“We (two coworkers and I) were on the freeway going home and we saw this apartment house literally blow up in flames,” he said. “The whole front of the building was in flames.”

Bosnich won a Silver Medal of Valor for his efforts that day.

“If you listened to my grandmother, she said I wanted to be in law enforcement since I was 3 years old,” Bosnich said. “My mother and I butted heads on that over a number of years because law enforcement wasn’t her first choice for me.”

Bosnich spent three years as an SFPD K9 officer with his German Shepherd Poncho and caught a total of 21 burglars.

“In that period of time, if you were law enforcement, you weren’t popular with the general public,” Bosnich said. “Haight-Ashbury was trailing off but still going on and people were still taking shots at cops when they could, some even getting killed or ambushed.”

His police work in Placerville has been nothing short of appreciated.

Over the summer the Placerville City Council issued a proclamation honoring his 38 years of service.

“Ray truly is one of a kind and I’m thankful we crossed paths at the time of my life and career that we did,” said Placerville Chief of Police Joe Wren during the June 27 City Council meeting. “Ray has touched lives; he’s touched mine and my ability to have perspective on certain things, mostly on what is important and what is not.

He will be missed.”

Ray called his retirement a “mixed blessing.”

“All my adult life was spent working in law enforcement,” Bosnich said.

“Not working and waking up in the morning and not having someplace to go and something to do is a totally different experience.”

While he irons out his retirement schedule, Bosnich has a few hobbies to occupy himself — traveling in his RV with his wife and writing a short story about his family.

“My gut constantly told me (Placerville) is a good place to work and that I am going to stay,” Bosnich said. “These were good people to work with and a good area to work. I’m glad I did.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You regularly put your feelings on the line. You’ve gotten used to such risks.

People with less experience will remind you of your younger self. You’ll be careful with people. Your kindness will be remembered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Within the same language is many ways to use it, which tell people where you’re from geographically, culturally, emotionally and more. You’ll create trust when you speak someone’s language back to them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t always think of your interactions as creations, but they are. You put thought into your approach and choose your topics carefully. There’s an opportunity for beauty in each scene unfolding on the stage of your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You didn’t get where you are by being unconcerned with results. So, while your inner critic serves an important purpose, you need very little from them to stay on track. A one-sentence review is enough, then shut it down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are those who will create a false or unnecessary sense of urgency to make their cause seem more important and to get people to respond quickly. Take back the power. Do things on your timetable, not theirs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It seems counterintuitive, but less time allotted to work on a project will lead to more creative results. The crunch will focus you on the heart of the matter, and this concentration on what matters will make your work sing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Organized work habits, effective communication skills, loving mannerisms -- these are all things that seem like personality traits but are actually skills that can be learned. Knowledge and practice will take you wherever you want to go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your humor is more than a talent; it’s a coping mechanism. Wherever it comes from, your ability to call out what’s funny in a situation will attract friends and followers who love to laugh with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just like food can only be processed through eating, feelings can only be processed through feeling. Intellectualizing the process won’t work. The only way out is through.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be captivated by a dauntingly deep subject or a person who is impossible to fully know. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” -- Albert Einstein AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People say thank you for many reasons having nothing to do with gratitude including manners, habits and humility. True gratitude is born of pleasure, comfort and happiness.

What are you really grateful for?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You didn’t get to do things the way you wanted to, and there’s a lingering sense that you’ll never know how it would have turned out. Under different circumstances and with other people, it will work, which you’ll know in the future.

The 2BGlass Studio team of Aaron Bezdek, Tate Bezdek and Ash Koss, from left, have launched a hand-blown glass business. An open house is planned on Nov. 11.

Blown away by beauty

New studio brings unique art to El Dorado County

W

hether it’s a beautifully colored bowl, an elegant bottle or a charming pumpkin, a hand-blown glass creation can be the perfect home accessory.

But why settle for a factory-made piece on a big-box store’s shelf, when El Dorado County is home to the only public handblown glass studio in the region? 2BGlass Studio features the incredible works of brothers Tate and Aaron Bezdek, who with the help of Ash Koss have created a oneof-a-kind experience for hand-blown glass lovers and collectors.

Tate began his journey as a glass blower when he took a class at age 17.

“I decided right then and there, that’s what I wanted to do,” he said. “I enjoy the speed, the workflow … and the unpredictability.”

The El Dorado County native found himself working in a glass factory in the Bay Area, where Aaron later joined him.

“They never should have hired him,” Tate joked. Aaron admitted the heat and work didn’t appeal to him — at first.

Glass blowing has a steep learning curve, the Bezdeks admitted. Those starting out will inevitably encounter creative failures, not to mention a few burns. “You’re problem-solving all day,” Tate shared. “You have to make instant decisions based on what the glass is telling you.”

Gorgeous glass pumpkins are among the exquisite work done by the Bezdek brothers.

When people ask how long it takes to create a piece — a question often encountered when the brothers attend shows, such as the recent Glass Pumpkin Patch held in Apple Hill and Folsom — Aaron responds, “I can make a pumpkin in 10 minutes, plus seven years of experience.”

Senior Peer Counseling graduates proudly hold their certificates during a special event Oct. 29. The county program provides free counseling to local seniors.

New counselors on the job Levi Satterfield & Noel Stack Mountain Democrat

F

our new Senior Peer Counseling counselors recently earned their certificates and joined other volunteers dedicated to providing compassionate support to fellow seniors.

El Dorado County’s Senior Peer Counseling program celebrated the graduation at the Cameron Park Community Center Oct. 29.

“I thought it would be a good way to participate in the community,” said Camino resident Ann Chambers.

“I’ve always worked in the public sector,” added El Dorado Hills resident Vicki Lara. “I’m always curious about people’s stories.”

Senior peer counselors help meet the individual needs of the community’s older population and offer supportive counseling. These volunteers are trained by professionals to counsel seniors in a self-help approach that enriches and enhances

their lives, according to information provided by EDC Health and Human Services. Their training, combined with similar life experience, enables counselors to help their peers cope with a range of common concerns.

El Dorado Hills resident Suman Malhotra, a nurse for nearly 40 years, shared she joined the program to help people in a different way.

Fellow counselor Mary Jo Cloe of El Dorado Hills also has a healthcare background, explaining she worked in a hospital for 35 years as a mental health specialist.

“I needed a new challenge,” Cloe told the Mountain Democrat.

Services are offered without charge for El Dorado County residents ages 55 and older (donations welcome).

In addition to individual counseling, the program includes a community education component. Senior Peer Counseling is supported by the Area Agency on Aging and the Mental Health Services Act. For information call (530) 621-6304.

Koss joined the duo and helped put words into action. She took their works on the road to weekend shows and events, selling the brothers’ gorgeous custom glassware, bottles, bowls, etc. Over the span of a few years, the trio bought the necessary equipment and tools, first setting up in a barn on the brothers’ mom’s property and then this spring signing the lease to their very own space in Cameron Park that houses both the hot shop and a showroom. They officially move in this September.

“We, piece by piece, put this together,” Ash said, explaining they had to learn a lot about setting up a business, getting proper permits, promotion and much more. “We have a lot of pride around that.”

Tate and Aaron also have a lot of pride in their work. Everywhere they travel, they visit glass blowing studios

to learn and create, taking lessons and advice from the masters such as those in Murano, Italy.

“We have really high standards,” Tate explained. “We look at ourselves as craftsmen so when we make stuff we have to be on top of our game.”

The trio’s vision for 2BGlass Studio is to turn the business into a community gathering spot where people can learn, watch the glassblowing process and even host events.

“We want to bring something cool, new and exciting to El Dorado County,” Tate said.

They’re launching that vision with an open house, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 11. Guests will be treated to special discounts, live glassblowing demonstrations and more.

2BGlass Studio is located at 4191 Business Drive, Suite F, Cameron Park. For more information about the studio visit 2bglass.com.
