SACRAMENTO – On behalf of all Californians, Gov. Jerry Brown and First Lady Anne Gust Brown honor Staff Sgt. Eric C. Schenck, who bravely gave his life in service to our state and nation.

The governor and first lady extend their deepest condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time.

In memorial, Governor Brown ordered that flags be flown at half-staff over the State Capitol. Staff Sgt. Schenck’s family will receive a letter of condolence from the Governor.

Staff Sgt. Eric C. Schenck, 33, of Placerville, died on Dec. 8 in Pyeongtaek, Republic of Korea, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident while returning from a field training exercise. 

The incident is under investigation.

Staff Sgt. Schenck was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, Suwon Air Base, Korea.

An unorthodox road trip through California offered an adventure into the countryside and encounters with interesting characters.

[Jayne Lernihan]

In my journal, on my trip from Oakland to Lake Tahoe, I’d written: “This was not the intention. I think this man may actually murder us.” We were in hour two of a four-hour taxi ride and I was the only one left awake. Desperately trying not to make eye contact with the driver, who had already passionately explained the desires of the Confederacy to us foreigners, I glued my gaze firmly out the window. Not that it was an arduous task in such a captivating landscape. As I watched the scenery get steadily less green as we moved further and further into desert country, I wondered how my meticulously planned road trip around the West Coast of America had turned into this mildly threatening Lyft ride.

The simple case of a missing driver’s licence led to the frantic, late-night cancellation of a rental car and booking of a Greyhound bus, which was subsequently missed due to the enduring Irish capacity to join a queue, any queue, and assume it is the correct queue.

American customer service, it has to be said, is wholly unrivalled. After watching our bus drive off without us, struck dumb by our sheer stupidity, we received an entirely undue refund, and set off on our quest to find a Lyft driver unhinged enough to take us on an eight-hour round trip. On the third or fourth attempt, we finally secured Andrew as our driver, and settled in for the long journey.

After passing through the rugged “State of Jefferson”, a disputed area of North California pushing for secession, our gun-toting driver mellowed to reveal he was a veteran, injured in Afghanistan. Before we knew it, he started talking about his beloved service dog and we were shown hundreds of pictures of his chihuahua dressed in every sort of costume you can imagine. It was something of a relief to arrive at our Airbnb cabin in Tahoe City.

We were perched on a hill overlooking the west side of the lake and the view from our cabin was breathtaking. Surrounded by tall pine trees and rustic cabins on all sides, Lake Tahoe is an idyllic place to retreat and relax. The lake itself creates the border between California and Nevada, in some places even straddling towns, making it legal to gamble and engage in all sorts of nefarious activities on some streets in South Lake Tahoe, only to be arrested upon stepping onto the next street.

With the enticing possibility of spotting some bears, we settled into three days of hiking, swimming, and lounging by the lake. We were lucky enough to be staying in an Airbnb with access to a private beach. The picture of perfect American suburbia, the gated community was like the neighbourhood from Edward Scissorhands, but with more water, and less maniacal inhabitants.

Split between 10 people, the cost of our cabin was nothing extortionate, but you had to wonder at the kind of people who could afford a secluded getaway in the neighbourhood where The Godfather was filmed. With American flags proudly waving from every porch, and pick-up trucks still adorned with “Trump 2016” stickers almost a year after the election, the community seemed to espouse an unexpectedly conservative outlook, even in liberal California.

Despite the slightly unsettling atmosphere of apparent perfection, Tahoe City was every inch the rustic reprieve from our hectic time in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Unfortunately, it was not to last, and as our time in Tahoe came to a close, no bears were spotted, and once again we were tasked with figuring out how to get to the final stop, Las Vegas, without a car. As it turned out, the best and cheapest way to end up there was to spend a night in Reno, Nevada (just an hour from Tahoe City), and take a 10-hour bus through the Mojave Desert and Death Valley.

The journey to Reno was not without adventure, as our 70-something-year-old Buddhist Lyft driver shared stories and chants, and took us on a detour to see the house from The Godfather. Arriving in desolate Reno to the soundtrack of the driver chanting “nam-myoho-renge-kyo” – the ancient call to liberate oneself from suffering – was one of the stranger moments of our trip.

Reno on a Tuesday night is unavoidably grim. Though we didn’t venture much further than the Denny’s around the corner from our hotel, the adjoining casino full of lonely, old men in tucked-in polo shirts and squeaky clean Asics runners was all we needed to put us off a night on the town.

The following morning, scarred by the stupidity of our first experience with buses, we arrived at the downtown bus station outrageously early. The first people on the bus, we breathed a collective sigh of relief as the bus began to move. The spirited driver provided commentary almost the whole way, through some of the most beautifully sparse landscapes landscapes on earth. The area’s heat cannot be overstated: every roadside stop was marked by two or three steps and breaths of fresh air, before quickly returning to the safety of the air-conditioned bus.

The small towns that made up the long stops on our journey were some of my favourite places of the whole trip. Hawthorne, Nevada looked completely abandoned, save for Old Nevada Pizza, which served us up giant deep-dish slices, complete with buckets of ranch dressing the size of my face. Just 20 kilometres from the beautifully desolate Walker Lake, Hawthorne is surrounded by mountains. It’s the kind of place where you wouldn’t be surprised if a real life tumbleweed blew through the town.

Honourable mentions of small towns include Beatty, where the towering Bare Mountain Range co-exists with a Subway, and Pahrump, a tiny town boasting a casino and a wonderfully onomatopoeic name.

Before long, we’d passed Area 51 and its alien-themed brothel, and arrived into the desert oasis that is Las Vegas.

Unbeknownst to us, it was the weekend of the McGregor fight, and the city was fit to burst with rambunctious Irish people proudly wearing their county colours. Not a single one of us being UFC fans, our taxi drivers were met with groans when, deducing that we were Irish, assumed we were there for the fight. The definition of an adult playground, Las Vegas was certainly an interesting end to what had been a trip that had caused us to shed more than a few tears.

Looking out over the strip from the half-scale Eiffel Tower in the Paris Hotel & Casino, I thought about how much better our trip had become since losing that driver’s licence.

Between the eccentric taxi drivers, bus drivers and random strangers we’d met on buses and trains along the way, I really think our adventure was more authentic for being a little more unplanned. The moral of the story is that getting around the desert areas of the Western USA without a car is in fact possible, and indeed more fun. On top of that, it’s not much more expensive, especially if you can cry your way to a full car rental refund.

[by KEVIN KILEY. IMG: Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León​]

With the reduction of the state and local tax deduction by Congress, many Californians are crying foul. Paying taxes on one’s full income first to Uncle Sam, and then again to Sacramento, has been called double taxation by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León and other political leaders.

There is a simple solution to this problem. California should allow taxpayers to deduct their full federal tax liability on their state tax return – the state and local tax deduction (SALT) in reverse. I am introducing a bill – the Prosperous Economy and Payer Protection through Equitable Rates Act (or PEPPER) – to do just that.

For California taxpayers, Assembly Bill 1864 will restore the full benefit of the SALT deduction. It will also ensure virtually no one pays higher taxes as a result of the new federal tax law. Indeed, by bringing fairness to the tax code, the Legislature would assure Californians receive a tax cut from the federal law to the same degree as other Americans.

Perhaps more importantly, the new deduction would begin to repair three of the biggest faults in our broken state government.

First, it would stem the tide of Californians leaving for greener tax pastures. The exodus is hurting California across every dimension: wealth, youth, innovation, diversity and community. Everyone reading this probably has a friend, family member or employer who has left for Idaho, Nevada or other lower tax states. More reasonable tax policy would boost our economy, and ultimately, our state treasury.

Second, it would bring a much needed dose of stability to the California budget. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office has repeatedly sounded the alarm about the wild volatility of state revenues, which are at the mercy of the stock market and one-off events. My proposal would reduce volatility, fortifying state finances against the inevitable next recession.

Finally, this reform would strike a blow against special interests, which dominate the state Capitol. These groups relentlessly drive taxes higher so they can lobby for more money. For instance, the California Teachers Association is the state’s biggest spender on political donations and was the largest contributor to the last campaign to increase the state income tax.

The objection, of course, is that this proposal would at least initially reduce revenues, likely bringing the budget to where it was three years ago. But there is strikingly little evidence that spending increases in recent years have meaningfully advanced any public interest, such as student achievement or better health. In any case, the majority party can hardly complain about budget effects with a straight face, having last year passed a bill in the Senate that would put a $400 billion hole in the budget.

Federal tax reform has presented California with a unique opportunity. We should not waste it on the same gimmicks and budget tricks that have fueled our state’s decline. Instead, we should seize this opportunity with a blueprint for fiscal stability that will renew the California dream for the next generation.

[PRpond.  Img: Ron Nehring, former California Republican Party Chairman and 2014 Republican nominee for Lt. Governor]

"He will focus on the serious criminal issues in our state instead of using the office as a partisan political platform against the federal government"

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JUDGE STEVEN BAILEY (RET.) announced he has received the endorsement of former California Republican Party Chairman and 2014 Republican nominee for Lt. Governor Ron Nehring in his bid for California Attorney General in 2018.

"As a rising tide of crime threatens an increasing number of neighborhoods, it's clear California is on the wrong track when it comes to public safety," said Ron Nehring. "We need a new and better approach with Judge Steven Bailey as California's next Attorney General."
 
"For the last seven years, politicians in Sacramento have pushed for one measure after another that has undermined law enforcement -- like changing many serious crimes from felonies to misdemeanors and putting criminals who should be in state prison instead into inadequate county jails," explained Nehring, who ran on a platform that included improving public safety as the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor in 2014.

"I'm supporting Judge Steven Bailey for Attorney General because he will stand up for all California families and lead the fight to reverse our state's dangerously weak approach to worsening crime. He will focus on the serious criminal issues in our state instead of using the office as a partisan political platform against the federal government," Nehring continued. 

Nehring excoriated current Attorney General Xavier Becerra, saying, "Jerry Brown appointed Xavier Becerra Attorney General, a career politician with little legal experience." Nehring explained, "the result is a deteriorating situation with a worsening drug epidemic, rising levels of violent crime and robberies and a growing criminal element in the homeless population. There are solutions to these challenges — but they're not in Sacramento."

"We will have the chance to replace Xavier Becerra in 2018, and Judge Steven Bailey is the candidate who gives us the best opportunity to do exactly that. I encourage all Californians to get behind Judge Steven Bailey so we can roll back this rising criminal tide that has been unleashed by years of bad decisions in Sacramento," concluded Ron Nehring. 

"Ron Nehring is a great conservative voice in California who understands the importance of this election in June, and he's right — this is the best chance Californians have to reverse the policies that have put all of us in more danger," said Judge Steven Bailey.

 “As Attorney General, I will provide solutions to protect California families and stop the rising criminal tide.  Thanks to leaders like Ron Nehring stepping up, we will take this message to every Californian and win in 2018. I will be the Attorney General who gets the state back on track,” declared Judge Steven Bailey.

On Monday, January 8, the El Dorado County Youth Commission participated in their annual Shadow Day, in which Youth Commissioners joined the County Board of Supervisors during one of the Board’s regularly scheduled meetings. The students gained valuable insight into how local government operates; how the Board manages issues and policies, such as a public forum; appointments by the board for a variety of commissions and committees; and how to run a formal meeting. Youth Commissioners observed the selection of a new chair and several reports from government agencies.

“We are so impressed with the Youth Commissioners and their interest in local governance,” said Chair Michael Ranalli, District IV Supervisor. “We appreciate them coming out to our meeting and being active participants in the decisions that shape our county.”

Each year the County Board of Supervisors works with the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) to appoint interested high school students from across the county to the Youth Commission to engage student engagement in local government. Through the program, students gain valuable leadership skills along with the ability to share the perspective of youth regarding local issues. “Our youth hold the keys to a bright future, so the Youth Commission plays a vital role in developing the leaders of tomorrow,” noted Dr. Ed Manansala, County Superintendent of Schools.

“I learned a lot about how local government works and how people enact policy,” said Oak Ridge High School senior Shayan Habibi. “I appreciate even more how our board deals with so many different issues. They have to become experts in a lot of areas.”

The Youth Commission’s mission is to help identify the needs of El Dorado County youth and communicate those needs to their representatives at the local level. 

“I hope that students see how local government is one place people can really make a difference,” said Brian Veerkamp, District III Supervisor. “It is one place that being a civil servant can make an impact.”

EDUHSD’s WorkAbility Program and the EDHS Blue Latte Club recently joined forces to host a Career Technical Education (CTE) Program field trip. Over 100 students toured the American River College (ARC), discovering career pathways in technical education fields. 

Students toured labs in several different locations on campus and listened to multiple presentations. They met with instructors in Early Childhood Education and Speech Pathology, and had a chance to observe students working on projects in Fashion Design and Interior Arts. They heard about careers in innovation in the Design Hub and Welding and also toured the Automotive Department. 

Students experienced the working kitchens of the Hospitality Department with a walk through, the end product being served in the award winning Oak Cafe’. The campus visit exposed students to career pathways that were new to them. 

Students who attended the field trip had such positive feedback about their experience and many have reported their interest in ARC as a post-secondary option as a direct result of the visit. 

Students and teachers alike were very impressed with the opportunities available at ARC. 

The dedication and passion for their subjects came through in each department’s presentation.

What will it all mean for California County governments?

United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions rocked the world of legal cannabis Thursday by rescinding an Obama-era policy that blocked federal prosecutors from interfering with marijuana in states where pot has been legalized. The decision set the marijuana business and advocacy community abuzz and drew sharp criticism from state and federal lawmakers, including many within his own party.

Thursday’s decision puts prosecutorial discretion for marijuana cases back in the hands of U.S. attorneys in the states where pot has become legal. In other words, U.S. attorneys in states like Washington, Colorado and California can decide whether or not to pursue businesses that have gotten the go-ahead from state authorities for breaking federal law.

Colorado Republican Senator Cory Gardner -- who opposed his state’s bid to legalize marijuana in 2012 -- was at the forefront of the ensuing criticism. He blasted the attorney general in a speech on Capitol Hill, saying it breaks a promise that he and Donald Trump made to the American people. (Politifact disputes that.)

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) also slammed the decision. 

“The attorney general of the United States has just delivered an extravagant holiday gift to the drug cartels,” he said in a blistering statement. “By attacking the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly favor marijuana legalization, Jeff Sessions has shown a preference for allowing all commerce in marijuana to take place in the black market, which will inevitably bring the spike in violence he mistakenly attributes to marijuana itself.”

Sessions’ move could place medical and/or recreational marijuana in jeopardy across dozens of states where one or both have been legalized. That, of course, includes California.

But it could also backfire. 

In state capitals and op-ed pieces across the country, as well as on Capitol Hill, there was a sense that Sessions’ move had given greater urgency to a push for legalized marijuana at the federal level. Politico wonders whether Jeff Sessions inadvertently sealed legal pot’s fate with his reversal of the popular policy.

Reactions from inside the Golden State were also harsh and swift. California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said he would take the federal government to court to prevent a crackdown on California’s licensed growers and sellers, while state lawmakers began discussing legislation that would make California a so-called “sanctuary state” for pot.

Among the rare voices in California praising the decision was Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey. We’ve covered his battles with illegal pot growers numerous times in the past.

The greatest blowback for Sessions and Trump could come at the ballot box. As we have noted previously, a national consensus is shaping up in favor of marijuana, even among registered Republicans and especially among millennials. For those who oppose pot use, there is still great deference to the issue of state’s rights within sections of GOP and the country at large.

Still curious about the move and what it could mean for California and other pot legal states? Here's a roundup of aritcles on the subject:

I have a dream today, that in El Dorado County, one of the most conservative counties in a wildly liberal state, we can discuss Race Relations and the meaning of Racism in a civil and productive manner, even in the wake of highly controversial (off mic) comments by a polarizing President calling some countries “Shitholes” in a off-cam negotiation over immigration.

And that day of my dream was met last week on Facebook!

I posted a story titled, "Placerville Progressives Stand up Against Racism at Local Newspaper". 

On Facebook the comments were bold and strong. Early on in a long thread of comments generated from my post, a friend made a strong statement that I could not leave unchallenged as I thought it misrepresented facts and current thought.  We are both Freemasons and we have a code that if a fellow Mason is wrong, we tell them be whispering it in there ear, not by a post on Facebook, so I was wary of countering my friend in fear of losing my honor, and my friend.  But I pushed on, and replied on Facebook..

I need not tell anyone familiar with Facebook that debates can get heated, ugly, and personal, and fast!  In light of the Presidential comment, and nationwide partisan feelings, this was a topic that could have exploded with a single f-bomb comment.  With hundreds of comment from many people with a wide range of political philosophies, and a wide range experience in racial bias.  It was a conversation that started with Trump’s comment, but quickly lead into a discussion of Dawn’s editorial in the local newspaper a few days ago re NFL Kneel Downs.

Feeling were strong and positions entrenched.  Many sideliners watched as the debate played out.  Some changed positions, some left out the same door they came in, policywise.

All of this is expected, but what transpired, was a Dream come true!

Many people, of many positions, stated their beliefs on the subject, including empirical facts and personal experiences, taking a side, or acknowledging a point made in opposition. All respectful and dignified, even when in strong opposition!

This may be of little note to some of the Bay Area newcomers to our community, but I am an old EDC Redneck that growed up on booze, bullshit, and horses and it is significant.  I know many of our roughest characters.  I have played both side of the field politically since before I was a teen.  I know some of our county’s finest, and some of its worst.  Is bigotry and hatred alive in our county today? You bet it is.  Is it a whole different kind and degree of bigotry?  That is a good bet also.

I was a white kid in a white community and racism was not a subject, mostly because there was not any cause to bring it up as we were essentially homogeneous.  The only Blacks I knew were some kids at Pondo that were great footballers.  They were as tough as nails, the only ways a black could live with us back then.  But because they did so well in football, the race issue seldom came up.  And the few times that I saw it, the harassed student would simply jump up and kick the harasser in the face!  Fight over.

When you get a bunch of young rednecks together, drinking beer at the dam past the trailer park, well the things said and heard would make your toes curl.  I know many of these from 40 years ago and many still live here.  Most have tamed, but not all.  I still know plenty of folks, back in the hills, that I would not trust for anything except to get a back-knifing.  Every place has some.

I only dated white girls growing up, as there were few other options.  It was not until I grew up and traveled the world did I come to understand racism in its many forms, and that racism, has nothing at all to do with race, but simply a way we categorize those with social power to those with less, or without, social power.

This became most clear to me when I traveled to Fiji, where Blacks are the dominant social class with whites and East Indians being the social underclasses.  It is there that I realized that racism is simply bigotry using skin-color as a classification.  All those things I saw applied to American Blacks, were applied to Fijian non-Blacks.  Then I realized that the actual skin color is irrelevant to racism.  The skin color is just a flavor de sur for applying bigotry.

Back here in El Dorado County, I came back home after traveling for about 20 years.  I was surprised to see that “Enviros” like Bill Center had made such significant inroads into the conservative county.  I was also surprised that there seemed to be a different overall tone to the community from back in the ‘80s.  More cosmopolitan.  I attributed this to the growth of El Dorado Hills and many new residents from previously urban environments.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that although open bigots still live here, they are pushed back far into the hills.

Here is a personal example of that change, In 1985 I met my future wife and wanted to bring her to my family home to introduce her to my mother, but was told I could not come to the house as my step-father said he would, “Shoot that nigger if she came on the property”...  

So we met at my sister’s restaurant in Cameron Park.  That was in 1987.

In Dec. 2000 I brought Sherri back to El Dorado County to start our new life, but not without reservations.  I had left the county about 20 years earlier with both middle fingers flying over my shoulders yelling that I would NEVER come back.  (Life is funny that way)

So last week was a milestone for me in many ways.  I have seen that the worst of the county is fading into the background while reason and tolerance replace them.  I have always loved our county as people are plain-speaking and upfront, as opposed to many I met in SoCal that are all about image and will stab you in the back while giving you a warm hug (OK, there is my bias showing).  

Towards the end of the tread that prompted this Editorial some said what a great thread it was.  I had to go back and read it over, a couple of times.  In the heat of give-and-take of particular details I missed the overall tone.  

One of honest curiosity and sincere civility.

OK, I love our county.  We have our warts like anyplace, but we have some of the best people living here.  People that help make the dream of racial equality a reality, both liberals and conservatives alike.

My dream that even in El Dorado County, we can discuss Race Relations and the meaning of Racism in a civil and productive manner, is a reality.

Happy MLK day 2018, Cris Alarcon.
 

Transcript of speech by

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

August 28, 1963. Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beckoning light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.

One hundred years later the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.

One hundred years later the Negro is still languishing in the comers of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

We all have come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to change racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice ring out for all of God's children.

There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted citizenship rights.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

And the marvelous new militarism which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers have evidenced by their presence here today that they have come to realize that their destiny is part of our destiny.

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its Governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and before the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the mount with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the genuine discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, pray together; to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom forever, )mowing that we will be free one day.

And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!"

Diamond Springs, CA -- Snowline Hospice announced today a $10,000 Grief Reach grant from the New York Life Foundation to support their Healing All Together (HAT) program, which provides peer to peer grief support for youth between the ages of 5 and 17.

“We are grateful for the New York Life Foundation’s investment in this program, which will help us build our capacity in order to fulfill our mission,” said Michael Schmidt, Executive Director of Snowline Hospice. “The support will help many grieving children and their families in our community to begin the healing process.”

“Grief Reach applications have grown exponentially since the program began five years ago, which illustrates that awareness and demand for bereavement services is increasing every year,” said Maria Collins, Vice President, New York Life Foundation. “We have responded to the demand by broadening the application parameters and increasing the financial support so that even more grief service providers can reach diverse and disadvantaged youth across the country.”

HAT is Snowline Hospice’s place for grieving children, teens and their families. This group focuses on creating a safe and understanding environment that enables children, teens and families who are grieving a death to find means for expression as they move through their grief process. Snowline Bereavement Manager Sue Watson created this program in fall of 2008 to address this hidden need of the youth in our community.

The New York Life Foundation created the Grief Reach program to help providers overcome barriers to bringing grief support services to youth not served by existing bereavement programs. More than 200 Grief Reach grants totaling over $7 million have been awarded since the program’s inception in 2011. The New York Life Foundation has been one of the leading funders of the childhood bereavement field, investing $35 million to date in support of grieving children and their families.

About the New York Life Foundation
Inspired by New York Life’s tradition of service and humanity, the New York Life Foundation has, since its founding in 1979, provided $240 million in charitable contributions to national and local nonprofit organizations. The Foundation supports programs that benefit young people, particularly in the areas of educational enhancement and childhood bereavement. The Foundation also encourages and facilitates the community involvement of employees and agents of New York Life through its Volunteers for Good program. To learn more, please visit www.newyorklifefoundation.org.

About Snowline Hospice
Snowline Hospice has been providing Hospice and Grief Services to El Dorado County for 39 years. All of the services provided by Snowline are free of charge to residents of El Dorado County, Sacramento County and other neighboring areas. Snowline is supported by patient insurance, thrift store donations, grants and individual donors.

[American Mothers Care : A series of article recognizing January as Human Trafficking Awareness Month]

I sit with many incredible boys, girls, and young adults before they are free and after the rescue. The one consistent thing I hear about what kept them fighting in the middle of their pain is their love for their children.

“What kept you fighting in the darkest moments?” I asked an American mother of two children. She told me, “My great love for my daughter and son is what made me never give up! My trafficker who convinced me he loved me also often told me I was worthless and my only value was what he put on me.”

There are so many victims and survivors who have children, and the love for a child is something many people can relate to. If you’re not a mother maybe you can relate to the times your mom, or a mother-like figure, made incredible sacrifices for you.

This mom told me that being held in captivity for two years was one of the loneliest times of her life. She would sit and think about the memories she had of pushing her daughter on the swings and taking her son to basketball practice. She was a mother that fought for her freedom so that she could create more memories with the children she loved.

Family always has complications and challenges. However, there is so much undying commitment, determination, and will that keeps us fighting for those we love. For those of you that can, we are so grateful for your support to help us continue to stand with victims and survivors as they fight their battles for the ones they love. 

Sincerely, 

Jessica Mass.

30th Annual El Dorado County Fair Open Wine Competition!

The 2018 El Dorado County Fair Open Wine Competition is just around the  corner! We invite you to enter your wines to be judged by thirty prestigious  experts from across the country within the media, trade hospitality, education and winemaking industries. This event is a wonderful way to get your wines noticed! 

Each panel consists of a judge from each industry: Educator (winemaker,  enologist, professor – Looking for wine without flaws), Media (print, blogs, radio, TV – I want to talk about this wine), Wine Sales (Restaurant, Retail, etc. – I want to sell this wine). The judges keep their individual score sheets with their notes and receive the results the next day, so they can link their notes to the wines they love and wish to purchase or praise. 
 
Back Room Gold Awards are also unique to this competition. The 30+  back room staff who pour for the judges choose their favorite Red, White or Zinfandel in a blind tasting—your typical customers—which makes this, in effect, a People’s Choice Award. 

“Our wine competition is probably the least expensive competition around;  we strive to keep the cost low, so that wineries can make entering an easy  choice. Our goal is to promote your wine.” — Jody Gray, CEO

Judges will award Double Gold, Gold, Silver, Bronze, as well as
Special Awards:

• Golden Johnny Trophies for the Best of Show red, white and sweet
