Weaving Casino
Profits Into
Community Fabric
2 • Placer Sentinel • Friday, August 7, 2009
By Janis Dice
When the United Auburn
Indian Community opened
Thunder Valley Casino near
Lincoln in June of 2003, there
were those who believed the
gaming center would attract
trouble and drain county coffers.
Instead, the casino has generated profits that are elevating the
tribe’s quality of life while
improving the lives of others,
locally and globally.
In operation since June of
2003, the 200,000-square-foot
Thunder Valley casino is owned
by the 275 tribe members of
Maidu and Miwok ancestry who
comprise the UAIC. Since the
complex opened, the UAIC has
donated nearly $8 million to a
variety of organizations, including a gift of $10,000 to the Sierra
College Foundation and a
whopping $1 million to the
Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital
Foundation.The tribe donated
$250,000 each to the Save the
Children and Habitat for
Humanity groups, specifically to
assist victims of hurricane
Katrina, and the tsunami that
swept through Southeast Asia.
“Their gift giving focuses on
education, health and wellness,”
explains Doug Elmets of Elmets

Communication, spokesman for
the tribe.
The UAIC has donated
generously to the national Native
American Scholarship Program
and a traditional, cultural
association that helps Native
Americans in need. But the
majority of UAIC’s donations go
to agencies in Placer and Nevada
counties, crossing a broad
spectrum of causes.
“For generations, our tribe
relied on the generosity of many
non-profit organizations
throughout Placer County,”
says Tribal Chairwoman Jessica
Tavares. “Now that we have the
ability to help them and others,
we want to take advantage
of that.”
In 2004, a Community Giving
Committee was formed to
structure a process for achieving
the tribe’s philanthropic mission.
Now a consultant serves as
Director of Community Giving.
In addition to its generous
benevolent contributions, the
UAIC used casino earnings to
build three new homes for tribal
members needing assistance. It
offers free health care and
wellness programs for its members; operates a day care center
for tribe children; and funds its
own fully accredited school.
Currently educating 56
students from kindergarten
through twelfth grade, the school
site is part of the UAIC’s new
40,000-square-foot tribal
headquarters campus on Indian
Hill Road in south Auburn. Any
child in the tribe has the option
to go to public school, the UAIC
School, private institution, be
home schooled or have specialized tutoring.
And all may continue on to
post-graduate education, with
the UAIC paying the tab.
“The goal is to encourage as
many children as possible to go

on to college and become
doctors, lawyers, teacher s or
other professionals, then have
them come back and help serve
their tribe, as well,” Tavares says.
As explained on its website,
auburnrancheria.com, the
establishment of the United
Auburn Indian Community
began in the nineteenth century
when the Department of the
Interior documented the
presence of a cohesive band of
Maidu and Miwok Indians
occupying a village at the south
edge of Auburn. In 1917, the
U.S. acquired land in trust for the
band of Native Americans and
formally established the Auburn
Rancheria reservation.
In 1953, Cong ress authorized
the termination of federal trust
responsibilities to a number of
California Indian tribes including
the Auburn group. With the
exception of a 2.8-parcel
containing a tribal church and
park, the government sold the
Rancheria land. In 1967,
the band’s federal recognition
was terminated.
In 1976, both the Senate and
House of Representatives
renounced that policy in favor of
a new federal system entitled
Indian Self-Determination. In
1991, surviving members of the
Auburn band reorganized their
tribal government as the United
Auburn Indian Community
and requested reinstatement
of its federal recognition. In
1994, Congress re-established
the UAIC.
Today, the tribe is focusing on
completing its casino expansion,
then moving on with the
development of a tribal housing
tract. Encompassing about 1,100
acres near Camp Far West near
Placer’s nor thwestern boundary,
the parcel was purchased by the
tribe and is now held in trust by
the federal Bureau of Indian
Affairs as sovereign land.
“It will be a master-planned
community of high-end homes
with community buildings and a
playground,” Tavares says. “It will
be something that not only the
tribe can be proud of, but the
region as well.”
Actual groundbreaking is in
the distant future, but when it
does start, the subdivision will
continue the UAIC’s positive
impact on local economies.
Elmets estimates that the

500 related jobs, with openings
in other fields expected once the
hotel and entertainment center
open next summer. He says
Thunder Valley generates about
$47 million annually in the
purchasing of goods and services
and through area purveyors, such
as meat suppliers, flor ists,
janitorial service providers, dry
cleaners and produce brokers.
“The tribe wants to try and
keep the focus on local vendors
because it wants to help the local
economy,” Tavares says.

The nation’s downward economic spiral hasn’t stopped the wheels of progress on
Thunder Valley’s latest construction project.
Expected to open next summer, the towering addition to the casino comprises a
15-story hotel holding up to 400 standard rooms and spacious luxury suites; a health
spa; fitness center; pool and outdoor reception site; an upscale poker parlor;
increased gaming areas; and retail space. The expansion also includes a 10,000
square-foot multipurpose entertainment venue and a seven-level structure with
3,800 additional parking spaces.
The Thunder Valley complex is owned solely by the United Auburn Indian
Community, with no other partners or investors, says Doug Elmets, spokesman
for the tribe.
“The casino business has been facing challenges over the last several months,
just like every other business,” Elmets notes. “But Thunder Valley still is a very
successful enterprise.”
Work on the expanded facility was suspended for a few months while tribal
leaders decided whether to go forward with the original plan or scale back to
reflect the region’s softening economy. They opted to proceed with a design that is
less aggressive in size, but more attentive to upgraded amenities.
The UAIC’s goal is to make Thunder Valley a premier destination resort that brings
more tourists – and their leisure-time dollars – to Placer County. The chance that it
will is a sure bet.
“The UAIC has been a great
corporate citizen, sponsoring
about 99.9 percent of our nonprofit events. Overflow from the
casino brings tourism dollars our
way and many of the employees
live, shop and spend money here.
The economic stimulus Thunder
Valley brings is good for Lincoln.
We’re glad to have them.” ◆

Tahoe National Forest
Fire Restrictions
Judie Tartaglia, Deputy Forest
Supervisor for the Tahoe
National Forest, has announced
that fire restrictions went into
effect on Tuesday, July 28.
“Recent hot, dr y, and windy
weather has increased fire
danger,” says Tartaglia. “Many of
our fire indices show that we are
above historic fire conditions for
this time of year and thus the
need for fire restrictions. Abandoned campfires are the primary
source of human-caused fires in
the Tahoe National Forest.”
Under these restrictions
campfires and charcoal barbeques
are only permitted in designated
campgrounds and other recreation sites (in the metal rings/
grills provided); smoking is only
permitted in an enclosed vehicle,
building, developed recreation
site or in a three-foot area
cleared of all flammable material;
internal combustion engines
including OHVs can only be
operated on roads or trails except
for the Prosser Pit Off-Highway
Vehicle Area; possession of
fireworks is illegal; in the
backcountry, portable stoves and
propane-type barbeques, including those that use gas, jellied
petroleum or pressur ized liquid
fuel are permitted with a valid
campfire per mit. Campfire
permits are free and can be
obtained at any Forest Service,
BLM or CALFIRE office.
“If you come across an
abandoned campfire, please help
us by putting it “dead out” and
then reporting its location to the
nearest ranger station,” states
Tartaglia. To contact the Forest

A New Manifest Destiny for Californians
by Jack L. Sanchez
When Salmon Can No Longer Survive on This
Planet, Can Humanity Be Far Behind?
passage. They could help streamline the 501c3 process and perhaps
add small incentives to volunteer
groups once they have a strong
strategic plan in place. Salmon are
at considerable risk, and the
governor and legislators have the
ability to connect each group to
the right agencies in a quick and
efficient manner to fast track
volunteer groups’ efforts toward
salmon restoration.
The SARSAS Plan for the
Auburn Ravine can serve as a
model for other organizations to
work on other streams. It is a
simple but effective plan easily
adaptable by any group. Additionally, SARSAS board members are
available to assist other groups in
implementing the SARSAS plan.
Imagine the impact of a thousand
salmon in the Auburn Ravine and
then multiply that by several
hundred streams or perhaps all 738
streams that enter the San Joaquin,
Sacramento and American River
watersheds. Salmon and steelhead
numbers certainly can and will
thrive in this environment. If only
three percent of the smolt return
to each of these streams, the result
will be tremendous.“Clear it
(stream) and they will come.”
In a short period of time with
many individuals and groups on
board, SARSAS will reach its goals,
missions and ultimately, the
restoration of salmon and steelhead
at a very low cost. Even if the
SARSAS Plan is partially successful, salmon and steelhead will have
one more river to spawn within,
and new life will abound. An
alternate plan to truck salmon
above and around dams is feasible
and SARSAS wholeheartedly
supports it, but it is very expensive.
Our plan costs thousands of dollars,
the alternative, billions of dollars.
Both can help the salmon, but at
what cost in time and real dollars?
Want to help? Contact the
governor, legislators, federal
officials and local entities and ask
them to grasp and support the
SARSAS Plan. Then, contact
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and
California Water Czar David
Hayes and ask them to work
with SARSAS.
Let them know that the
SARSAS Plan will provide
successful outcomes for salmon
and steelhead and, if adopted
for a significant number of
streams in central and northern
California, the plan can assist in
the restoration of the Pacific
commercial fishery. Since many
tributaries to the Sacramento/San
Joaquin Rivers are blocked by
minor diversion dams salmon
cannot currently spawn in
numbers large enough to prevent
a decrease in their number.
Using the SARSAS Plan as a
model for saving salmon in the
Auburn Ravine may be enough to
begin the restoration of the Pacific
Coast Salmon Fishery and put
thousands of unemployed fisherman back into their boats, free
sport fisherman to follow their
passion and help Californians feel
good about themselves because
they did something to help

The people of California,
volunteering together, can save
salmon and steelhead. People must
ask themselves whether or not
salmon and steelhead have any
time left on the planet without the
help of the people.
The Golden Age of Salmon and
Steelhead is likely long past, but
people working together can
ensure at least their continued
existence. California salmon were
thought to be extinct as early as
1865 as a result of sediment that
choked the streams from hydraulic
mining and clear-cut logging. The
salmon of California are now once
again in danger for many
reasons: global warming, pollution,
poisons, man-made drugs, lack of
fish passage and an overall degradation of spawning beds.
Part of the solution is not to
argue for years but to open up
California streams as soon as
possible for salmon spawning. The
SARSAS Plan (see
www.sarsas.org), formulated for
the Auburn Ravine, is the simplest
way to save salmon and should be
implemented on allstreams within
our state immediately. If every
stream were to have a volunteer
group working to do what
SARSAS is doing with the
Auburn Ravine, (that is, to return
salmon and steelhead to its entire
length and secure fish passage,
adequate water and spawning beds)
then salmon could once again
thrive in significant numbers.
The line from the movie Field of
Dreams, “If you build it, they will
come,” can be paraphrased and
applied to all salmon: “If you clear
it, they will come.”
SARSAS urges the Governor’s
staff, both houses of California
government and Interior Secretary
Ken Salazar as well as his water
Czar, David Hayes, to help. The
governor and legislators can
provide incentives to encourage
other organizations to take
ownership of particular streams
and make them suitable for salmon
themselves, their children,
and the fishes.
Volunteers, concentrating and
uniting their efforts, can work
quickly enough to revive our
salmon population toward health
and well-being. SARSAS needs
your help, political will and public
support to finish its work on the
Auburn Ravine and to provide
assistance to others who may wish
to develop their streams.
In the final analysis, “All things
merge into one and a river runs
through it.We are all haunted by
water” (and the salmon in it). The
SARSAS Plan allows people to do
something about the destiny of
salmon, and thereby do something
about their own destinies. Again,
when salmon can’t make it in our
world, neither can people.

Eighty-Five Years
on Paper
It started out as a casual
conversation about five years ago
when a friend asked, “When are
you going to write the story of
your life? I know it is a long and
complicated process, and I’ll
provide some seed money so you
can hire some help.”
I shrugged it off as casual
dinner party conversation, but he
has been persistent for the last
five years.
Every time we would get
together it was the same thing,
“When are you going to start
writing that biography?”
About three months ago, I
started looking around and
almost all of my old friends who
really invented the ski industry
and the ski resorts in America
have died without recording
what they did with their lives. It’s
a shame that the ‘movers and

shakers’ stories weren’t told. So
Laurie said, “You play a lot of
golf, you still ski a lot, go fishing,
and do a lot of other things. Just
cut down on a few of those
things and get started.”
So I did.
I looked into computer
programs and there is a wonderful one called Dragon Speak 10.
You simply dictate into a
microphone and it is automatically spelled out in your computer. Next thing I knew I was
writing my biography.
Before I started however, I
sorted out my lifetime collection
of photos and the scrapbooks of
newspaper and magazine
clippings that my secretaries over
the years put together in their
spare time.
I interviewed several writers to
help me in the project and
settled on Morten Lund. He was
the first winter sports editor of
Sports Illustrated in 1962, and has
written twelve books since then.
He has co-authored several
biographies that have all sold
thousands of copies.
We have spent the last fifteen
days together starting the project.
Had I known at the start what a
gigantic job it is to try and
remember the nuances and
events of the last eighty-five years
and put them down on paper I
might not have started the
project. However, here we are
fifteen days later. I had also spent
two or three weeks trying to
reconstruct a time line of my
life... what school I went to, how
the Depression years were, my
first job earning ten cents for an
eight-hour day, buying my first
camera for 39 cents, living with
my grandparents during the
worst part of the Depression –
and the good things that
happened. Seeing Switzerland for
the first time in 1953, experiencing Mt.Waterman near Los
Angeles on skis for the first time
in 1937, building my first
surfboard in junior high school
wood shop during that same year.
Then being sunk in a hurricane
in World War II near Guadalcanal.
Flying off of Mt. Cook in New
Zealand in a three-place helicopter in the dark, with five of us,
and all of our camera and ski
equipment—and that was with
Jean Claude Killy who had just
won three gold medals in the
Olympics.
Every one of these events
changed my life forever in a
positive way.
How long it is going to take to
finish this biography I cannot say.
I do know that in two weeks I
dictated and transcribed over 460
single spaced pages of stuff about
my life. Morten Lund and I
joked about the book winding
up as a two-volume epic if I put
in all of the unusual stuff. I guess
at best, my life has been unusual!
The 460 pages of dictation
only got me through 1960.There
are 49 more years to document.
And who is going to publish this
book? I don’t know at this time,
but I am sure it will happen.
In the meantime, I will
continue to put out the crab pots
in front of my house here on the
island so we can feed our many
guests cracked crab that is less
than one hour from the ocean to
the table, play golf on the nine-
hole course here, and work on
my boat when there is spare time.
(Not too much right now.)
The problems with the
Yellowstone Club are now
behind us and I look forward to
another winter of making turns.
The good thing about writing
this biography is that I am really
excited. I have a pad of paper and
a flashlight by my bed and a pen
so I can write in the middle of
the night when I wake up and
remember yet another weird/
funny/exciting thing that
happened while I was involved in
making the roughly 500 movies
during my career.
I’m just not too thrilled to
learn how it ends!
Morten has flown back to
Maine where he will do a
preliminary edit of my dictation.
I will then fill in a lot of additionally remembered events such
as the first time I walked out on
the stage to show my fir st movie
in 1950. My first view of Sun
Valley, Idaho when Ward Baker
and I drove in there to spend the
next two winters living in the
parking lot and taking advantage
of the fact that gravity is the
great equalizer in our constant
search for freedom on the side of
a snow covered hill. It has been a
downhill slide since I was
thirteen years old, skiing for the
first time, and a journey worth
writing about. I will keep you
posted on the progress.

The performance-based step

including employees represented
by PPEO and DSA, receive a

Recent Labor Adjustments:
Earlier this year, the County
Executive Officer (CEO) held a
series of meetings with the
unrepresented management and
confidential employees to solicit
suggestions to address an
anticipated budget shortfall in
excess of $18 million in fiscal
year 2009/10. Among other cost
saving measures, one outcome
was to recommend twelve
unpaid furlough days during the
fiscal year in order to achieve
approximately five percent
payroll budget savings. In
addition it was recommended
that a cost of living increase
would be reduced to 2.5 percent
from the agreed upon 2.5-5
percent rate.
It is important to note that the
County Executive Office took
the lead and recommended to
the Board the furlough days and
other labor concessions prior to
the proposal being taken to the
members of PPEO for consideration. The PPEO’s union
membership voted over 60
percent to accept the proposal in
order to avoid layoffs. The
combined unrepresented
management and confidential
employees and the PPEO
represented employees’ labor
concessions will save Placer
County taxpayers over $6.7
million in FY 2009/10 and
preserve at least 150 jobs. More
importantly, the County will be
able to continue to provide a
high level of services and
programs to our community.
Law enforcement personnel
represented by the DSA receive
annual increases mandated by the
voter approved Measure F in the
Placer County Charter. Measure
F mandates that the salaries of
certain Placer County law
enforcement personnel be the
average base pay paid by three
other counties with similar
employee classifications. Measure
F is tied to the salaries of
deputies in El Dorado, Nevada,
and Sacramento counties. The
base pay is reflective of the
economy and is necessary to
maintain an equity-based pay
structure reflective of the reg ion.
The February 2009 raises
received by those represented by
the DSA ranged from 6.29
percent to 6.33 percent. The
Board of Supervisors has no
authority to deny, adjust, or delay
Measure F raises; they can only
approve them. Placer County
employees represented by the
DSA are exempt from taking
furlough days as well as certain
public safety personnel represented by the PPEO. They
include staff members of the jail,

In response to recent press
coverage of raises for Placer
County employees I wish to
provide additional information.
The county workforce consists
of 2,476 full time employees
providing a range of services to
approximately 350,000
residents. Over the past two
years, the county has restricted
hiring, and has only filled critical
positions as vacancies occur, and
restricted our workforce by some
231 positions.
The Placer County workforce
is broken down as follows:
Management and Confidential:
321 employees consisting of
managers and cler ical serving in
sensitive areas or dealing with
confidential information. These
employees are not represented by
a labor organization.
Placer County Deputy
Sheriff ’s Association (DSA):
The DSA represents approximately 230 employees
including deputies, welfare
fraud investigators and district
attorney investigators.
Placer Public Employee
Organization (PPEO): PPEO
represents 1.924 general and
professional employees that
provide direct services in
various departments.
have reached the top step of their
classification and are no longer
eligible for these increases;
however, they will be elig ible for
approved general wage increases.
I can assure the people of
Placer County that the Board
remains dedicated to following
sound public policy to str ike a
balance between the continuation of providing critical
programs and services to the
Placer County community
while working with constrained
fiscal circumstances.

Urinetown: The Musical
Showing at Placer High School
The PUHSD Summer Theatre Academy production
of Urinetown: The Musical debuted Thursday,
July 30 for a two-week run at Placer High School.
More than 30 students from several area schools
have completed a grueling summer rehearsal
schedule to bring a professional-caliber production
to the community.
Along with its tongue-in-cheek title, this Tony Award
winning and critically acclaimed musical is sure to
prove popular with area theatre-goers as it blends
an amazing Broadway score with what might be
the funniest play ever produced by the Summer
Theatre Academy.
“Our community should support these amazing
students and their outstanding production,” says
one of the show’s two producers, Steve Gold. “The
student actors are amazing. The orchestra, made up
mostly of high school students, is incredible. This is a
very funny, intelligent, and timely musical unlike any
other we’ve ever produced. The artistic staff, led by
Director Josh Brown, did a superb job this summer.”
Tickets are available at www.placermusical.com.
Online prices (including surcharges) are $11.25 for
adults, $7.15 for senior citizens, students and children.
Please note that prices at the door will be $12 and $8.
Urinetown: The Musical runs through August 8 at
Placer High School Auditorium. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evening performances start at 7:15 p.m.,
with a Saturday matinee at 2:15 p.m. For more
