Charities and Donors Gain from Vehicle Donations Middlemen Ease the Process by Margaret Snider The donation of a vehicle may be one of the largest charitable contributions a person makes in their life. Many local charities accept cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and other vehicles as tax-deductible donations. Among them are Friends of the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary, Folsom Pioneers, Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Dorado County, Eureka Schools Foundation and Family Connections El Dorado. Your fa-

vorite charities and nonprofits will generally mention on their Web site if they offer such a program. While some sources recommend the donation of vehicles directly to the charity in order to maximize the financial benefit to the organization, many charities (by choice) utilize intermediary services that take the hassle and expense out of managing the donations. We, as the nonprofit, really don’t have to do any-

by Kristen Castillo According to the American Library Association, there are more public libraries than McDonald’s in the US---a total number of 16,604 including branches. And they may be just as busy as the restaurant chain. “There has been nationwide, and definitely at our branches, a 25 percent increase of usage of library services,” says Carolyn Brooks, Branch Manager of the El Dorado Hills Library. The big change in recent years has been the increase of both online and various electronic resources. Rather than being relegated to antiquity by technological

advances, libraries are stepping up and embracing the increasing community need for technology tools. The American Library Association says that 98.7 percent of public libraries provide public access to the Internet, and that libraries are the primary means of online access for people who otherwise have no other path to Internet use. ”We’re putting more funding into our technology,” says Greta Galindo, Library Supervisor for the Folsom Library, “such as our e-books and our eaudiobooks, as well as all the things that we want to have available online

thing, just receive the check, says Executive Director Judy Knapp of Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Dorado County. This is seconded by Tom Peno, who handles the program for vehicle donations at Friends of the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary. The program is pretty much self-operating from our standpoint, as Car Program runs our advertising,

manages the donation process and cuts us a check once the car/truck sells, Peno says. Car Program prepares the marketing materials for us and places them in publications for us...we have no out-of-pocket expenses for the program and it does not take any of our resources to manage the donations. The middleman donation programs are also designed to be pain free for donors. They provide pick-up of the vehicle, and forms needed to claim the donation on your tax return. They may check the participating charitable organizations for qualifying tax status, provide you with a statement of what the car is worth or what it sells for if it is more than the standard deduction, and answer questions See Charites pg. 14

A look back on 2012 will show just how big a difference they make in our community: Easter - 533 Ham Dinners and 1,012 Easter Baskets; Back 2 School - 787 Backpacks filled with school supplies and 500 pairs of new shoes; Thanksgiving - 814 Turkeys & all the trimmings were given out; Christmas Basket Program with the Folsom Police Department - 893 Families received a Ham or Turkey, all the trimmings, fresh fruit and Bikes/Toys for the children. The Grand total number of families served in 2012 was 12,120 and number of people served was 44,660. The food bank received a miraculous 77 Tons of Food from the community food drives and donations and their volunteers worked over 14,602 Hours. Theses are astounding accomplishments that speak highly to the character and dedication of all those involved. When you get right down to it, the Twin Lakes Food Bank is Changing Lives!

TWIN LAKES FOOD BANK

TWIN LAKES FOOD BANK timeline

History

rinity Episcopal Church in Folsom had founded a food ministry when, in 1986, Father Ogden Hoffman met with Rev. Andrew H. Webb, pastor of the Oak Avenue Free Methodist Church and president of the Twin Lakes Ministerial Association, to form a community food bank that would serve the growing Folsom and Orangevale areas. Shortly thereafter, Kathy Boone, a parishioner at the Oak Avenue church, was appointed director of the new non-profit enterprise. In 1990, the food bank was incorporated and officially named the Twin Lakes Food Bank. In 1991, the food bank moved to two railroad cars at the Junction Mall on Sutter Street in the old town area of Folsom and Sue Antonich was named director. Boone rejoined as a co-director in 1992, becoming the solo director again in 1993. Rev. Dennis Mandigo of Bridge Community Church was named president in 1995 and the food bank purchased a duplex on Montrose Drive in Folsom, moving to the new location in January, 1996. That year, a “Christmas in April” community project provided a new roof, fence and paint for the building. In 2000, Rev. John Cedar of the Community Bible Church and Faith Evangelical Presbyterian Church was named president, serving in that capacity until he relocated to Minnesota in 2002. Mandigo again assumed the helm. In 2005, a new warehouse was built on the property and the food bank began distributing USDA commodities to a growing number of households in need. The mortgage on the food bank building was retired in 2006 and a box truck was purchased to help transport donations from grocery stores and wholesalers to the food bank. As the global economic crisis developed and impacted the local region, the level of need at the food bank escalated rapidly, with the 4,556 households served in 2006 more than doubling to 11,787 households served in 2011. Rev. Webb had re-assumed the role of president in 2008, retired from the food bank in 2009 and passed the gavel again to Rev. Mandigo. In 2011, Boone retired from the executive director position and assistant director Tammy Thompson was named executive director as the Twin Lakes Food Bank celebrated its 25th year of service to the community. Recognizing the growing need, that same year, the food bank board of directors authorized the start of a building fund to assist with procuring a new facility as the existing buildings are outgrown. The Twin Lakes Food Bank now serves Folsom, Orangevale, El Dorado Hills and Granite Bay. In 2011, 45,525 people were served and, in addition to satisfying routine nutritional needs, the food bank distributed 868 Christmas dinner baskets, 810 Thanksgiving turkeys with all the trimmings, 533 Easter ham dinners, 1,012 children’s Easter baskets, 787 backpacks loaded with back-toschool supplies, and 600 pairs of new shoes for youngsters.

1999 The food bank serves 4,173 households. 2000 Rev. John Cedar of the Community Bible Church and Faith Evangelical Presbyterian Church is appointed president and the food bank serves 4,001 households. 2001 The food bank sponsors Furniture for Families, and serves 4,247 households. 2002 Rev. Mandigo reassumes the leadership of the Twin Lakes Food Bank board of directors when Rev. Cedar relocates to Minnesota. The food bank serves 4,257 households.

leep is essential for a person’s health and well-being, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Most of us are built for 16 hours of wakefulness a day and need an average of 8 hours of sleep per day. Of course this can vary a bit, based on individual needs. However, it is of the utmost importance for each of us to sleep well and allow our bodies and minds to rest. You’ve followed the usual tips for getting enough sleep — sleeping on a regular schedule, avoiding caffeine and daytime naps, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Still, it’s been weeks and a good night’s sleep remains elusive. Is it time for an over-the-counter sleep aid? Most over-the-counter sleep aids can be effective for an occasional sleepless night, however, there are a few caveats. Most over-the-counter sleep aids contain antihistamines. Tolerance to the sedative effects of antihistamines can develop quickly — so the longer you take them, the less likely they are to make you sleepy. In addition, some over-the-counter sleep aids can leave you feeling groggy and unwell the next day.

Now, at Innovative Compounding Pharmacy, we offer an over the counter sleep aid like never before, Kavinace® and Kavinace® Ultra PM. Kavinace® is NeuroScience’s most calming product. Unlike traditional GABA supplementation, the ingredient, 4-amino3-phenylbutyric acid, easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts like a GABA agonist. Kavinace® Ultra PM is uniquely designed to promote sleep by promoting healthy levels of

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

the primary neurotransmitters and hormones involved in sleep. It is also frequently recommended for patients with elevated levels of glutamate and PEA, and may be beneficial in some individuals with elevated epinephrine and norepinephrine. Kavinace® and Kavinace® Ultra PM are the most effective over-the-counter sleep aids we have personally tried and have the most positive feedback from the customers that have tried it as well.

It is now available at Innovative Compounding Pharmacy, so try it yourself and experience the deep sleep again! We work with our patients and their physicians and customize each person’s care.

Pizza in America-A brief (one-sided) history… I’m Irish-Italian from New Jersey, and frankly those are all the credentials I need when it comes to pizza. Now you have probably heard that pizza can be traced back to caveman days when toppings included wooly mammoth, teradactyl, and the like. But here in the USA it started around 1900 when 4 million Italian immigrants arrived on our shores. In 1905, Gennaro Lombardie applied for and received the first license to make and sell pizza in this country. Where you ask? New York City of course. Then it was on to N.J., Connecticut, Boston, and San Francisco. But it wasn’t until after the war when Pizza really caught fire, thanks in big part to a returning GI by the name of Ira Nevin. Ira built the 1st gas fired BAKERS PRIDE oven. These ovens allowed for pizza to be cooked a quickly, cleanly and most of all - cheaply.

Pizza began to fill an important place in the socio-economic foundation of our country as of the 50’s and 60’s as more and more people turned to pizza for lunch, dinner and snacks, and pizzerias became a place to meet friends, dates, you name it. Of course you may look at the growth of chains like Pizza Hut as both a blessing and a curse, but make no mistake about it – pizza as a ‘food category’ was growing and growing and it and continues to do so today. Back to Folsom now, and the important question of where to go locally – and really, since you are likely not from NJ, where pizza is life, we suggest trying them all. However this pizza lover bee-lines it for his favorite 2 spots when the pangs hit: Pronto’s on Iron Point (yes, you can buy a slice!) and Visconti’s in Broadstone. the last sentence in this piece to: Diane and Joseph at Pronto’s are from New Jersey and the Visconti’s (Mom& Dad) hail from Italy. So who wins the ‘Pizza shoot out’ here according to this Jersey Boy? Here is what I will tell you - you can’t go wrong here - they are different and they are both very, very good. Do I know what I’m talking about? - Fughettaboutit!

Nutrition-Packed Foods by Dr. Niki Young with Revolutions Natural Medical Solutions in Folsom The relation of nutrition to health is hard to ignore these days. Everywhere you look is another advertisement of ìone weird trickî to achieve fantastic results. Obviously, these claims are a bit exaggerated. Fortunately, there are some foods that really do pack a onetwo punch for taste and healthy eating. If I had to pick 5 foods that I couldnít live without, the winners would be as follows.

rice or pasta. The addition of quinoa to the diet has been shown to lower lipid and blood glucose levels. The seed is actually closer to a beet than a grain and has high levels of protein, polyphenols, phytosterols, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals, notably a

good source of vitamin E. Plant-based vitamin E is beneficial for heart and cellular membrane health, and healthy cholesterol levels. 3. SARDINES These small fish that taste similar to tuna, but without the risk of ingesting high doses of mercury, provide an

excellent source of calcium, magnesium, iron, omega-3 and coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a very essential molecule in the metabolic process to create energy for all of our muscle cells, especially heart muscle cells. One brand even boasts a BPA-free can. If the ickfactor is still a little too much, Pacific or Alaskan canned salmon is also a great choice. 4. SPAGHETTI SQUASH The flesh of this fruit falls away in strands like spaghetti when cooked. Rated low on the glycemic load, it’s an excellent alternate in pasta dishes for diabetics or those with gluten sensitivities. Itís also a good source of vitamin A, beta-carotenes, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, potassium and manganese, and a very good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C.

Soak them in water to make a thirstquenching beverage, or sprinkle a teaspoon over a salad to take advantage of the high fiber, protein and omega-3 content. 2.

5. ORGANIC BLUEBERRIES The blue pigment is a result of molecules called anthocyanins, powerful bioflavonoids known to prevent DNA and estrogenic damage that could lead to cancer. They are potent antioxidants, are anti-inflammatory and beneficial for night vision. Mixing frozen blueberries into a morning protein shake is a fast and

easy way to ensure you have the most important meal of the day. Freezing breaks the cell walls, allowing for more potent flavor and release of nutrients. RUNNERS UP : SPIRULINA A microalga with huge antioxidant power; rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. COCONUT OIL Contains medium-chain triglycerides, which have been shown to increase energy, satiety, and facilitate weight control when used instead of oils with long-chain triglycerides such as lard, corn oil or olive oil. A recent study suggested that the nutrients in our food work together to prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. In a nutshell, there isnít just one food that is going to change the state of your health overnight. To keep your body full of energy and functioning properly, eat a variety of fresh, organic foods packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients. Besides, eating just one food all the time would get boring very fast.

Apple Ipad mini

Amazon Kindle

Tablet Wars Now that the long anticipated Apple Ipad mini has arrived and we have had the opportunity to play with it over the holidays, we’d like to know what you think? Our opinion--It’s a winner for sure, offering what may be the perfect size at just under 8” (screen size), light and easy to handle, stunning screen and it is fast! At $329 for a 16gb wifi model, its still not cheap, but we just can’t imagine anyone buying the basic full size Ipad for

Nook

$499 at this point. Speaking of cheap and in what is no doubt a reaction to the mini, Barnes & Noble’s NOOK offerings have reduced their retail pricing by $10 to $20, with a 16gb NOOK TABLET now selling for $179. You might also consider the 8gb version at $159 as all NOOK models also offer a SD memory card slot for all of your expansion plans. If only Apple would do this. Clearly, this is not a product strategy that Apple has ever embraced and most likely never will move in that direction. Why you might ask? For starters, Apple has a finely tuned product lineup and development plan centered around proprietary, closed and very profitable categories of products where their expertise is extremely deep and well honed. Why mess with what works at this point… The other hot new product introduction in this category is the Surface from Microsoft Corp.

Surface

Lenovo Yoga

Starting at $499 for the 32gbit RT version, it offers a neat package, long battery life and a mini SD card plus standard USB connector all in a nice compact size. The jury is still out on just how it will meet the competition of Apple and their enormous content library. Certainly, it’s worthwhile taking a look if you are seriously considering a tablet purchase in your future. We just got our hands on the Lenovo Yoga series laptop/tablet hybrid. This is one cool piece of gear – and Windows 8 seems at first glance, to be very well designed, although it’s so different, there will surely be backlash from the old windows devotee’s…but try it yourself. The Amazon Kindle lineup and its access to the Amazon library, while currently slightly more expensive than the NOOK, offers features, including their great screens,that make quite a difference. For the price, they deliver quite a bit more in their pack-

age too. Here at the office we have a Kindle and believe me, it gets used. I would say that we all like it a lot! Of course, we’d be remise if we were to leave out of this discussion the lineup of tablets currently offered by some of the largest names in consumer electronics manufacturers. Samsung, Sony, Asus,--fill in names here—and all the others now are in the game, and as expected, the tablet competition is heating up fast, and, as a consummate consumer of electronic stuff, I speak for all of us when I say that this is great news! We’ll keep on the lookout for more cool stuff and will report back to you next issue. We would also love to hear from you – let us know what you are using and what you think of our recommendations – we want to hear from you.

A Brief History of Contemporary National Service

What was once predominately the work of churches and private groups has, over the past century, become a part of our collective public consciousness: The idea of National Service has been ingratiated into the public dialogue as if it were always a federal government responsibility. But, it wasn’t until 1933 during the last great depression when Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), that the federal government formally adopted the idea of a national service component to their recovery efforts aimed at revitalizing the economy. The idea simply combined efforts to help restore the nations parks by employing millions of young men for 6-18 months, thereby stimulating the economy and helping families in need. It proved to be the beginning of a movement to provide resources that would fund projects throughout the country, put people back to work, and boost efforts at unifying communities across America. By 1944 as World War II focused the industrial manufacturing

resources of America, the GI bill was enacted. Formally known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, service and education were linked for the first time guaranteeing returning servicemen the opportunity to fund their education in exchange for their service to our country. Everyone won—and by the early 1960’s elements of what is today known as the Senior Corp were solidly in place demonstrating the effectiveness of service to engage older Americans in volunteer services and highlighted a service model previously not thought possible. As new administrations came to office new ideas swept into Washington, the least of which was the global scope of President John F. Kennedy’s Peace Corps formation. The service model was a new addition to the definition of Foreign Service. His vision as he stated it was “The wisdom of this idea is that someday we’ll bring it home to America.” In 1964 Lyndon Johnson took another step to enhance National Service with the War on Poverty that included the creation of programs such as the National Teacher Corps and the Job Corps. By the 1970’s the Youth Conservation Corps enlisted 38,000 (16-18 year old) volunteers in summer environmental programs nation-wide. Various agencies developed more programs that engaged more and more teens, seniors and professionals to support the National Service model, and by 1976 then Governor Jerry Brown established the California The longest recorded flight of a chicken Conservation Corps, the in seconds first non-federal youth corps at the state level. By 1978 the idea had evolved and the Young Adult Youth Corps created small projects in the U.S. with 22,500 teens participating. Through the early 1990’s both Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton developed the framework for federal grants to schools to support a service-learning model. In 1990, Bush signed into law the National and Community Service Act (NCSA) which authorized the demonstration grants for national service programs aimed at youth corps, nonprofits, colleges and universities. In 1993 President Clinton signed the Corporation for National and Com-

Tell us about your first time volunteering? Oh golly . . . I can’t remember the first time. I do remember a very special time though. A few years ago our family (myself, husband, two young adult children) volunteered together, along with many friends, to serve Thanksgiving dinner to residents living in the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. Why do you volunteer? The primary reason I volunteer is for the connection with others and with the community. Volunteering provides an opportunity to interact with people of all different ages and life experiences. Do have any words of wisdom for people looking to volunteer? Think about what you enjoy doing. Volunteer opportunities that match your interests and passions are likely to be most fulfilling to you and beneficial to those you are serving. The most important skills you can bring to any volunteer opportunity, however, are an open mind, compassion and a willingness to do whatever is needed.

Tell us about your first time volunteering? It was fun. I’ve never regretted one minute of volunteer time. Why do you volunteer? I believe we all were put on the earth to make a contribution and not just consume resources and take. Do have any words of wisdom for people looking to volunteer? Find something you enjoy. You may have to try different things. But giving, with nothing expected in return, is very gratifying to your own self.

California State Legislature 1O1

by Janice Rosenthal Rock The California Legislature: Kids learn about it in school, political aspirants see it as a goal, the Capitol is its home, and citizens complain about it a lot! But how many of us really know what the Legislature is all about? What exactly do they do? How do they operate? Hang on now, for a fast ride through California Legislature 101! The Legislative Branch of the California State Government is composed of the 80 California State Assembly members, the 40 California State Senators, and several other departments. This branch holds the principle lawmaking powers of the state. The Legislature is governed by specific rules and regulations that cover virtually every aspect of the legislative process. Legislators are also bound by legal re-

The IRS provides information on tax deductions for a donated vehicle, including the following. • You can deduct contributions to charity only if you itemize deductions on your Schedule A of Form 1040. • Your deductions cannot exceed 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. • Your charity or nonprofit must be a qualified 501(c)(3) organization. Information is available on IRS Publication 4303, A Donor’s Guide to Car Donations at irs. gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4303.pdf; more detailed information on claiming deductions can be found in IRS Publication 526.

sent to the Office of State Publishing. No bill except the Budget Bill may be acted upon until 30 days have passed from the date of its introduction. The bill then goes to the rules committee of the house, where it is assigned to the appropriate policy committee (according to subject area) for its first hearing. Bills that require money must also be heard in the fiscal committees, Senate or Assembly Appropriations. Each committee is made up of a specified number of senators or assembly members. During the committee hearing, the author presents the bill to the committee, and members speak in support of or opposition to the bill. The committee then votes on whether to pass the bill out of committee, or passed as amended; bills may be amended several times. It takes a majority vote of the committee membership for a bill to be passed and sent

member decides to author a bill. “One of the most surprising things to me when I first became a senator,” said California State Senator Ted Gaines, “was the sheer number of bills that come through. It is staggering! One of my goals is to have fewer bills and make this a simpler state instead of being so highly regulated.” HOW DOES THE LEGISLATURE WORK? A legislator sends the idea for a bill to the Office of the Legislative Counsel, where it is drafted into bill form. It is then returned to the legislator for introduction into his or her house, the Senate or Assembly. The bill is introduced or read for the first time on the floor of the house, with its bill number, the name of the author, and the descriptive title of the bill. It is then

amendments cause differences that must be resolved, the bill is reviewed again by another committee to try to reach a compromise. If both houses approve a bill, it then goes to the governor. The governor can sign the bill into law, allow it to become law without his or her signature, or veto it. A governorís veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both houses. Most enacted bills go into effect on the first day of January of the next year. WHEN DOES THE LEGISLATURE MEET? The Legislature generally is in session January through August. There are breaks during these months, but all legislation must be finalized and to the governor by August 31. The governor then has until September 30 to sign into law or veto all bills. During the fall months, most legislators are back in home districts, frequently campaigning for office or campaigning for others running for office. Most also use this time to really get back in touch with the people who elected them. “I love this state and get up every morning excited about working for a brighter California future, but the most rewarding part of my job is helping my constituents,” says Gaines. “I try to make sure everyone in my district knows that my staff and I are always ready to help them with any problem.” This is undoubtedly the best part of the job for most legislators. They maintain local offices as well as a presence on the Web, and are easy to find. If you don’t know who your local legislators are, you can find that online too!
