Keeping Sane This
Holiday Season
Houseguests arriving? Kids in an
uproar? Chestnuts roasting over
an open fire… on your new
patio? It’s time to get out of the
house and find your holiday
sanity touring the Foothills.
by Cheri March
More than the arrival of
shorter days and chilly nights,
you know the holidays are here
when you’ve got a full house.
So what’s a good host to do
when the kids are out of school
(proclaiming boredom already,
naturally) and the relatives are in
from out of town, eager to be
entertained?
‘Tis the season to make like a
tourist. Show the family what
makes Auburn special. Even if
you don’t have visitors, festive
decorations and crisp air make
winter the ideal time to rediscover the foothills.
From snowy excursions to
wine tours to panning for gold,
read on for ideas to keep the
family busy—and you sane—this
holiday season.

“I stock the shelves with
everything needed to round out
the meal,” she says. “I also visit all
the local farms, ranches and
businesses and try out fresh
produce, specialty sauces and
condiments. I’m loving it.”
Riccardelli calls his take-home
edibles “comfort foods.” There
are four principles that flow
together to make it food you can
feel good about, he says.

When he made plans for a
“nourishing-meals-to-go”
kitchen in Auburn, Steve
Riccardelli had no idea it was a
family tradition. “It’s the way
your great-g randmother did it,”
his father said, describing the way
she sold home-cooked dishes
straight out of the kitchen at the
back of their neighborhood
market in New Jersey.
Now Riccardelli is the one
selling straight out of spanking
new kitchen he built here in the
foothills, a big step up from
peddling his unique take-home
foods at Farmers’ Markets.

Weeklong County Closure in December Nixed in
Favor of Extended Holiday-Weekend Time Off
Friday, May 22. If approved, the
closure of most county offices for
four days could save the county
General Fund up to $2 million,
providing a partial solution to the
overall budget problem, say
officials.
The mandatory time off affects
about 2,200 employees, including
management employees. Critical
services, such as law enforcement
and corrections, would remain
available, similar to extended
holiday times such as the recent
Thanksgiving closure.
Other cost saving measures to
be considered include removing
the General Fund’s contribution
to the Road Fund, removing
funding from 38 vacant positions,
authorizing the use of $1.7
million in General Fund reserves,
and reducing funds for services
and supplies.
Declining national and state
economies with a related drop in
local revenues are forcing the
Placer County Board of Supervi-
sors to weigh additional costcutting measures for this fiscal
year and to lay the groundwork
for greater reductions during the
2009-10 fiscal year.
The county’s 2008-09 fiscal
year budget, approved Sept. 9,
now faces a nearly $9.5 million
shortfall, the result of a sharp
decline in actual and projected
revenues, including taxes on
property and sales, investment
and other revenue, and reduced
criminal-justice funding called
for in the Governor’s proposed
budget.
Since August 2007, the county
has taken steps to reduce
spending, including laying off
eight building-inspection
employees last July. The county
also reduced its number of
funded positions by 120.
“If we are unsuccessful in
cutting costs this year, it is
possible that next year’s operating
deficit could total more than $25
million,” says Miller.

Farmers’ Market—A Great Place to Shop!
December Happenings
During this time of giving, consider local, fresh foods and products for friends and

lot.
In December, complimentary gift baskets will be available at the market booth, as
well as a raffle of gift certificates to use at the market. The gift certificates will also be
for sale. These are a great gift for anyone to use all year.
The Foothill Farmers’ Market Association operates another year-round market at
Fountains Plaza in Roseville every Tuesday morning from 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. The

The Placer County Board of
Supervisors returned to a closeddoor session Dec. 9 to consider
closing county offices for four
days over the next six months as
a cost-saving measure, in addition
to considering other mid-year
budget adjustments.
What’s off the table is a
weeklong holiday closure later
this month for which County
Executive Officer Thomas M.
Miller sought the boards’
approval. Pushback from rankand-file employees and their
union representatives nixed the
plan.
“The County heard directly
the concerns expressed by our
employees about the hardship of
furloughs over the holiday
period,” Miller said in a prepared
statement. “This alternate
proposal spreads the mandatory
time-off across several months.”
The four days under consideration are Friday, Dec. 26; Friday,

I would like to take this
opportunity to express my
deepest gratitude for some very
special people in my life: My
brother Danny had a wonderful

What a blast! The atmosphere
was amazing. The Incredible

the best band around, honored
my brother by playing their
magical tunes. The music soared
as we danced for hours. They are
the greatest!
I would like to give a special
“thank you” to Pete Aroz and
Linda Gibson, who kept the
drinks flowing while their smiles
delighted the crowd. They are
both wonderful friends. The
food was catered by Luigi’s

delicious!
“Thank you” to all our good

wished Danny a very happy

WE SAY
The Other Side of Auburn
by Gary Moffat
The Yin and Yang
of Christmas Spirit
Last weekend I had encounter s
with two complete strangers in
Auburn that demonstrated
vividly for me the wide disparity
in the ways people live the spirit
of Christmas during the holiday
season.
On Friday night, my restaurant
and wine bar in Old Town was
rocking full tilt. The bar was
standing room only; the restaurant was sold out; and we had a
party for 25 people ready to go
in our Wine Mine, an odd and
ancient room behind our
building in which we host
private parties.
In the midst of the unrestrained revelry and controlled
chaos, a woman I had never seen
before walked up to me and
asked if I was the proprietor. I
acknowledged responsibility for
the place, and she responded by
asking if I was married.
“No, I’m not, and neither is
my son who runs the place with
me.”
“Well,” she asked, “do either of
you have anyone special in your
life?”
“Interesting question,” I
replied, “Why... are you looking
for a husband?”
The woman laughed, and said
she was not, so I acknowledged,
yes, I do have a very special
friend.
She reached into her purse and
removed a plastic bag and
withdrew from it a purple
beaded necklace with a grape
cluster and a matching pair of
earrings.
“I made these and I really
didn’t have anyone to give them
to until I thought about your
place. I’d like you to have them
for your friend.”
For one of the few times in
recent memory, I was at a loss for
words. I didn’t know what to say.
Finally: “These are beautiful...
thank you so much... would you
like a glass of wine?”
“No, that’s okay,” she said,
“...this is just a random act of
kindness.” And as suddenly as
she appeared, she turned and
wedged her way through the
crowd.
Yes, I was touched deeply by
this very surprising moment,
especially amid the festivities in
ctly-ondas

progress in a room decorated
brightly for the holidays. The
very next mor ning, though, I
would experience the Other Side
of Auburn.
Virtually every Saturday
morning I hit the Auburn
Farmers Market in the lower
Courthouse parking lot to pick
up fresh fish from the Little Fish
Company, Barbara Avery’s
biscotti, naan and, of course, fresh
produce and sometimes lamb
from Highland Farms. This
week, I made my purchases and
left my truck in the small lot near
the entrance at Auburn-Folsom
Road and went for breakfast
with a friend. When I returned
about an hour and a half later, I
backed out and started to leave
when the parking lot attendant
flagged me down.
I rolled down the window and
the young man asked me if I was
aware of the damage to my truck.
“What are you talking about?” I
asked. I hadn’t noticed anything
unusual because I approached the
vehicle from the front, not the
rear.
“A lady hit your truck when
she backed out, and she just took
off,” explained Desmond Cullen,
18, a Sierra College student and
Placer High School grad who has
patrolled the Farmers Market
parking lot on Saturday mor nings for the past three years.
“She was driving a silver
Dodge Ram pick-up with a
black camper shell and she’s a
regular here,” Desmond told me.
He described the woman as
about 50, “plump with frizzy
blonde hair.”
Desmond confronted the
driver and she got out of her
vehicle to inspect the damage.
He said she stood outside for a
few minutes and wrote a note
that he assumed she would leave
on my car. She didn’t.
Young Desmond said he was
distracted for a moment and
what was a simple parking lot
incident turned into a hit and
run. In what was a moment of
pure indiscretion and dishonesty,
this woman abandoned civility
and bolted, likely assuming that I
would just turn the matter over
to my insurance company.
Well, she is wrong. She was
unlucky enough to hit someone
who writes a newspaper column,
and I’m going to employ this
space to find this miscreant. And
she is going to pay, not State
Farm Insurance, my carrier.
Damage consists of a broken
taillight, smashed quarter panel
and scraped bumper. My guess is
that minimally, damage amounts
to more than $2,000.
I’ve already offered Desmond a
$100 reward to get her license
plate number if she returns to the
market, but I doubt that will
happen after this piece runs. As a
wider bounty, I’m offering any
reader who alerts me to the
identity of this woman, the
reward of a three-course dinner
for two with wine (that I select)
at Carpe Vino. I’ll also be
sending this information to the
2,700 people on my business
email list, most of who live in the
area.
This is a very small town, and I
anticipate solving this mystery
within days of this column being
published.
What a contrast to the stranger
who visited me the night before,
bearing a gift and spreading
holiday joy. And in that same
spirit, I’ll make this offer to the
woman who damaged my truck.
Contact me no later than 6 p.m.
on December 12, pay for the
damages and apologize, and that
will end the matter. Fail to
comply and you risk being
prosecuted to the full extent of
the law as well as being outed in
this space. Merry Christmas.
And to Desmond Pullen, I was
understandably upset when we
spoke after the accident and I
should have shown my appreciation with more than a “thank
you.” When I shop at the market
this coming Saturday, I’ll have an
envelope for you. You are a great
kid, and you are doing a great
job.

Beware the
Reflex Response
Wrapping
Up ARD
by Scott Holbrook
Despite some attempts at
manufacturing controversy, ARD
is about to wrap up one of
its most successful years ever. As I
get ready to hand over the gavel
to a new Chair, I thought I
would submit a sort of “State of
the ARD” wrap-up of this past
year. During my term as Chair,
ARD has seen some exciting
changes, new partnerships have
been developed, and we have so
far survived a very tough hit on
our budget.
A walk around some of our
many parks will highlight some
exciting changes. Fir st and
probably most satisfying to me is
the brand new Ashley Memorial
Dog Park, along with other
upgrades at Ashford Park. This is
a showcase example of a true
win-win. Literally tens of
thousands of dollars of in-kind
and cash donations by a dedicated group of volunteers
allowed this great facility to be
built with a bare minimum of
public funds used. Laura Pinnick,
the Harris family and so many
others are to be commended on
this great effort. But the Dog
Park is only one part of the
upgrades, new picnic facilities
and paths are also up and
running and more changes are
on the way. I also hope people
will take note of the renovations
done at James Field and Beggs

government must be ready to
intervene even when normal
stress is experienced is overreaching and not a smart way to
use our energy and resources.
Policymakers and commentators
who suggest that, at a time of
massive budget deficits, the
sphere of governmental action
should be expanded at the
expense of our traditional
notions of personal responsibility
should be required to meet a
high burden of proof . Creative
solutions—ranging from charter
schools that include behavior
therapy and activities to tap into
the unique gifts and challenges of
troubled teens, to boot-camp
style schools for those veering
into criminality—deserve serious
debate and attention. Channeling
a child’s gifts and energies in the
right direction is often challenging, but can pay huge dividends
in the future for society. Olympic
medalist Michael Phelps, once
labeled with Attention Deficit
Disorder (ADD), found his niche
early in life and then his path was
golden.
Over the next several years, the
debate will be intense on the
whole gambit of issues about
what government should do and
what areas should be left to
private action. Government
reforms that make its own
operations and the private sector
more transparent and accountable
should be enacted. Knee-jerk
and reflexive reactions and
slogans won’t result in crafting
positive public policies that have
long-lasting benefits. While
some assume that elections end
debates, by creating “mandates”
for one platform or the other, the
debate over what constitutes
good public policy never really
ends. The issues are complex and
there are no easy answers. Let’s
focus on smart policies that will
work.

HOME & GARDEN
A Safe Way to Light Up the Holidays
Holiday lights bring joy to the
season, but they can also bring
hazards and added costs to your
energy bill. Stay safe and save
energy this holiday season by
following these tips:
• Look up and live! Before
stringing outdoor lights, check
for overhead power lines.
Never place yourself or any
object in a position where you
or it may come in contact with
a power line—the result can be
fatal. Look up before raising
ladders or other objects. Keep
at least 10 feet away from
overhead lines.
• Before stringing lights on
outdoor trees, make sure tree
limbs haven’t grown into or
near power lines. Branches,
entire trees and even the
-AKE9OUR/LD0IECES.EW!GAIN
Call for Estimates
ground adjacent to a tree can
become energized when trees
contact power lines.
• Make sure lights used to
decorate the outside of the
house are approved for
outdoor use. Never use indoor
lights outdoors.
• Follow the manufacturer’s
limits for the number of light
strings that can safely be
connected together.
• Check all light strands for
cracked or broken plugs, frayed
insulation, or bare wires. Worn
cords can cause fires. Discard
damaged sets of lights.
• Route cords inside your home
so they won’t trip anyone.
Don’t place them under rugs,
furniture, or other appliances.
If covered, cords can overheat
or become frayed, increasing
the risk of fire.
• Always turn off decorative
lights—indoors and outdoors—when leaving the
house and before going to bed.
• Do not place your tree near a
heat source such as a fireplace
or heat vent.The heat will dr y
out the tree, making it more
susceptible to fires caused by
heat, flame or sparks.
• Purchase energy-efficient
LED (light-emitting diode)
holiday lights. LED lights can
reduce energy consumption as
much as 90% over traditional
holiday lights and can burn
brightly for over 100,000
hours. In addition to being
shatterproof and shock
resistant, LED lights produce
almost no heat, making them
safe to touch and greatly
reducing the risk of fire.

ARD
Continued from page 9
Association, Placer Baseball,
Auburn Little League and the
ARD have joined together to
provide a big bang for very little
bucks. In Meadow Vista there are
brand new Pickle Ball Courts, if
you don’t know what Pickle Ball
is, (it’s a great game for all
ages). Out at Regional we put in
a great new state of the art tennis
court. We also have a brand
new passive park about to open
just off Mt.Vernon and Nevada
St. These highlight some of the
bigger accomplishments this year
– there are many smaller but no
less important upgrades and
additions at all of our parks.
ARD is much more than parks
though. Programs and events
abound at your local recreation
district. ARD truly is the “Event
Capitol of the Foothills.” 2008
was more exciting than
ever. ARD just finished hosting
one of the most successful
Community Festivals ever, as was
this year’s Miss October Softball
tournament – with teams
attending from across Northern
California and beyond. Sheryl
Petersen and crew put on several
Teen events from Teen Night
Out to Teen Party in the
Park. The Renaissance Festival at
Regional Park continues to grow,
becoming one more not-to-miss
event at ARD. The Confluence
Festival and Pioneer Days were a
lot of fun this year, as was Party

Again, as I am about to pass on
the gavel to a new chair, I look
back with great happiness on
this past year, and want to thank
all who helped make it happen.
ARD has the best board it has
had in decades, the staff is top
notch, and the support of the
community businesses and
passionate individuals cannot be
overstated. ARD truly is a team
effort.
This year also ends the tenure
of outgoing Director Jimmy
Carroll who was a big part of
the positive growth at ARD – he
will surely be missed by all. Jim
Ferris will take his seat at the
next meeting, and as I say
goodbye to Jimmy, I welcome
Jim on board, and look forward
to what he can bring to the
district. It is a g reat time to be an
ARD Board member, budget
woes not withstanding, and I
look forward to what 2009 will
bring. In the meantime, Happy
Holidays to all, and as always...
Keep Smilin’!

NOTICE OF PETITION
TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF
BETTY COMPTON COWPER
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and
persons who may be otherwise
interested in the will or estate, or
both, of Betty Compton Cowper.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE
has been filed by
James H. Cowper, in the Superior Court of California, County of
Placer.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE
requests that James H. Cowper
be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate
of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedents will and codicils, if any,
be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available for
examination in the file kept by the
court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration
of Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative
to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions, however, the personal
representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons
unless they have waived notice
or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files
an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will
be held on December 17, 2008
at 8:30 a.m. in Department 44,
located at 10820 Justice Center
Dr., Roseville, CA 95678.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting
of the petition, you should appear
at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing.
Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a
contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in
Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file
kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the estate,
you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form
DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice
form is available from the court
clerk.

Holmes says a decision on a
wastewater treatment strategy
will be made – determining if
water treatment will remain local
or go to a regional plant in
Lincoln.The new mayor favors
the reg ional plan as the best
long-term plan, but not without
protecting those with fixed
incomes.
An “economic summit” is also
being called for by Holmes to
address his concerns about
“Auburn’s economic viability.”
That meeting is set for Jan. 13 at
City Hall and will include
members from Auburn’s Economic Development Commis-
sion and a host of other stakeholders, including the Chamber
of Commerce and the Sierra
Business Council.
“I want the business community to know the city does have
some funds available to help
existing businesses expand,” he
says.
Brown Finally Concedes
More than a week after final
tallies indicated Sen.Tom
McClintock’s growing lead
would close the door on his
second run for Congress, retired
Air Force Lt. Col. Charlie Brown
acknowledged defeat in a phone
call to McClintock, and an email message to campaign
supporters Dec. 3.
“I am proud of the campaign
we ran,” Brown said in a letter to
volunteers. “For three and a half
years, we never stopped working
to change the community and
country we love for the better.”
Democratic candidate Brown
narrowly lost the race by about
1,800 votes, still a notable
accomplishment in the staunchly
Republican District 4 where
Republican landslides are
common.
