2017-18 BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS REVEALED

The CAO published his 2017-18 budget recommendations today. 

It is important to remember that this is the CAO's recommendation and represents a "first look" at the budget for the Board of Supervisors. The proposed budget is balanced, fulfills state mandates for contingencies and reserves, and sets priorities based on our strategic plan. A public hearing is set for June 20th, at which time the Board of Supervisors will review and make deletions, additions or modifications to the fiscal plan. It is also important to note that although our new fiscal year begins on July 1st, the budget plan will not be formally adopted until September. That gives us time to formally close the 2016-17 books and move forward any fund balances into our new budget, allowing for additions of excess monies (which is generally the case). For more information, click here to view the 2017-18 Recommended Budget.

A GREAT BIKE RIDE

 

Board of Supervisors Brian Veerkamp, John Hidahl and myself enjoyed the Great Bike Ride event in May, celebrating "May is Bike Month". Thank you to the Placerville Bike Shop for lunch and to the El Dorado County Transportation Commission for organizing this fun event!

AMBBR BIKE RIDE GLIDES THROUGH El DORADO COUNTY

The 26th annual America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride was held on Sunday. The event boasts "one of the most scenic and awe-inspiring rides you will ever experience" and is a 72 mile trip around Lake Tahoe, including the ride through El Dorado County's very own Emerald Bay. Thanks go to CHP and our very own El Dorado Sheriff's Department for support during the event's road closures. And although I was unable to ride this year, I helped get the bicyclists started, along with organizer Curtis Fong and S. Lake Tahoe Mayor Austin Sass (that's us below at the starting line!).

OMG FUN RUN

Also on Sunday, Meyers Community Foundation hosted its second annual Old Meyers Grade (OMG) Fun Run. Over 60 participants ran up and down the grade, making for another awesome family-filled day. Organizer Rene Brejc and I watched the runners head home.

Geology talk by George Wheeldon:
 Thursday, July 13 at 6:30 pm. 

Gallery Reception: 
 Thursday, June 15, 6:00 - 8:00 pm

Free Events Open to the Public at 772 Pacific Street, Placerville, CA

Deep Blue Lead examines the vast, ancient river forged by powerful geologic forces at work millions of years ago, a flow of water that gouged out a channel two miles wide and four miles long. The ore that was eventually deposited along the Lead was discovered during the Gold Rush; the vein runs under the lava caps that give the local winery its name, under Smith Flat House and Hangtown Creek for several miles towards the South Fork of the American River.

El Dorado Arts Council enlisted noted geologist George Wheeldon and local photographer Caitlin Thompson to combine their expertise in order to explore and document the ancient river channel.  George A. Wheeldon, P.G., Emeritus Professor of Geology, is a leading expert on the Deep Blue Lead and local geology. He has been a resident in El Dorado County since the early 1960s, pursuing his childhood passion of discovery. A student, teacher, professional geologist and all-around curiosity seeker, he has amassed an enormous bank of knowledge which he brings to this venture.  

 

Local photographer and artist Caitlin Thompson has lived in El Dorado County for nearly ten years and spends much of her spare time exploring and photographing the unique landscapes of the county.

[PRpond]
 
El Dorado County Fair, “Ribbons and Rides” Thursday, June 15 – Father’s Day, Sunday June 18
Tickets: Pre-sale: $9-Regular, $6 Junior & Senior; During the Fair: $10-Regular, $8 Junior & Senior. Attendees with active duty military ID get in FREE. Parking $6 per car or take the free shuttle.

Rides: For the second year, Paul Maurer Shows will be providing the excitement that so many fairgoers are looking for at the El Dorado County Fair, June 15 thru Father’s Day June 18th in Placerville.
 
Paul Maurer Shows proved last year that safety and customer satisfaction are of absolute, utmost priority when setting up and running their rides. “Their customer service and satisfaction is absolutely outstanding” exclaims Jody Gray, CEO. “They clearly put safety and their customer’s needs above anything else; we are so glad to have them back.”
 
Paul Maurer Shows is known for its unique, brightly-painted rides with their sparking lights that shine brightly at night, including their newest ride, a thrill seekers favorite, the 55’ tall “Rock Star.” Then there is the spectacular light show on the 70’ tall “Giant Wheel or the 60’ tall Zipper. Of course, you wouldn’t want to miss the 100’ tall Super-Shot—guaranteed to take your breath away! And Paul Maurer Shows makes sure the little ones have their own thrill rides, with smaller, tamer rides for the younger set.

Four Legs, Two Wheels and True Grit:
Grab a seat and be entertained. The Grandstands at El Dorado County Fair have free events Friday, Saturday and Sunday for your enjoyment.
 
Friday night is Rodeo Night. Grab your buckaroos and watch Mutton Bustin’. There is nothing more exciting than watching a group of youngsters grab ahold of that sheep and hold tight aiming for eight seconds of glory. These are cowboys and cowgirls in the making right here. Separated in two age groups, boys and girls seven and under, don their helmets and close their eyes and go! Be sure to clap for all these brave kiddos! (Participant check-in at 6:00pm, show starts at 6:30)
 
Right after Mutton Bustin’, stick around for Humpz and Horns BullFest. These bulls are fresh and kickin’ and the cowboys do an amazing job hanging on for their eight second ride. The antics of the rodeo clowns will crack you up in between these suspenseful rides.
 
Saturday night at 6:00 pm brings our third annual Hometown Track Challenge. All ATV enthusiasts should take advantage of the opportunity, not only to take a ride on the ¼ mile clay track with obstacles abound, but compete for bragging rights and a must-have first place trophy. Anyone with a quad, side-by-side can enter (there are several different age groups) then compete against each other with a special challenge at the end. This is a timed event; participants can sign up before Fair or up to an hour before the event and must bring their own ride and safety gear.
 
Last, but definitely not least, for Father’s Day, the Kiwanis’ John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races are Sunday evening (this year beginning promptly at 4:30). El Dorado County Fair is the only place you can ever see a race of this kind. Endurance, strength and true grit is what it takes to win this race, along with the ability to endure a bit of muddy water. This race always gets the crowd on their feet cheering for their favorite team as well as the underdog.

Political Opinion - Buying Swamp Land

$
0
0

[Terry Gherardi]

There is an old phrase: “If you believe what I just said, then I have some great swamp land to sell you.”  In recent years, too many California taxpayers have become willing “buyers” and not reading the fine print and have bought into Governor Brown’s swamp in Sacramento. These buyers have been duped and they continue to be duped by a Governor who, in his 2014 re-election bid, promised he would not raise taxes without the voters’ approval.
 
But Brown has gone back on his word. Brown and the State Legislature’s recent increases of fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees are causing taxpayers to wake up finding that their swamp neighbors are in fact snakes who have no intention of draining the swamp, but only to drain taxpayers’ bank accounts.
 
Brown and his liberals continually offer the best ammunition to convince taxpayers to invest in the State of Jefferson, but we have to adjust our sales pitch by spreading the word about the new tax and fee proposals by the State Legislature that was recently revealed by the California Tax Foundation.
 
The Legislature has proposed increasing taxes and fees of an average of $2 billion per day since the start of the 2017-18 session in December 2016. In fact, California lawmakers have introduced ninety (90) bills that cumulatively would cost taxpayers more than $370 billion in higher taxes and fees. Also noting that, since the start of the legislative session in December, lawmakers have introduced 2,578 bills and constitutional amendments.
 
Of these, the top 5 most costly bills include:

1)  SB-640 – Sales tax on services, not currently subject to tax, $122.6 Billion
2)  SB 76 – Death Tax, $4.52 Billion

Currently in committee, is…

3)  SB 562, Single Payer Health Care Tax, $200 Billion
4)  ACA 2, Groceries, Snacks & Candy Tax, $8.65 Billion

And already signed into law is…

5)  SB 1 – Transportation Taxes & Fees, $5.2 Billion.
 
Not enough for you yet?
 
There is legislation to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction for second homes, including rental housing, $240 million. ACA 11 imposes a state wide 0.25 percent (25%) sales and use tax to fund affordable housing and homeless shelter programs, $1.5 Billion. SB 421 allows each county to impose a car tax, up to 2 percent of the vehicle’s value.
 
But wait there's more.....AC4 promises to increase local taxes but it is unknown how much. Fortunately, this would have to be approved by voters, but by 55 percent of the voters instead of a two-thirds vote, as is presently required. However, what is assured is, if AC4 were to pass “the cost to taxpayers could reach into the billions of dollars annually.”
 
It is time that We The People of Jefferson use every opportunity to let people know that the snakes and gators want to grow the swamp and feel they can do so because a major portion of those living outside the swamp have no voice. This of course, is due to the imbalance of representation that continues in the State.
 
Write those letters to the editor. Call in to talk shows. Continue the drive to get more declaration forms signed. And, visit those who will be impacted the most – the small business owner. Let them know there is another option and it is called the State of Jefferson. It's Time for 51.

Trump Rightly Picks Abundant Energy and Prosperity with Paris Agreement Withdrawal

$

Rep. Tom McClintock Upcoming Town Hall Meeting on Monday, June 19 at 6:00 PM on 501 Argonaut Lane in Jackson, CA 95642.

[TOM MCCLINTOCK]

 President Trump’s most important mandate is to revive America’s struggling economy. According to many economists, that can’t be done under the terms of the Paris Climate Accord. There’s a reason why we suffered the slowest economic growth of the post-war era under Barack Obama: bad deals and bad policies like this.

President Obama bound America to the Paris Accord by executive fiat. He committed billions of dollars of taxes paid by American families to an international slush fund for third world countries, and set his agencies loose to suppress American industry regardless of the costs imposed on working families. According to a Heritage Foundation analysis, adhering to the accords would destroy 400,000 American jobs and forfeit $2.5 trillion in lost productivity by 2035 – lowering average family earnings by about $20,000. 

Astonishingly, by the EPA’s own modelling, the accord would reduce global temperature increases by only 0.17 of one degree (C) by the end of the century if fully implemented. Its advocates have recently dismissed this inconvenient truth by explaining it would at least “send a powerful signal.”

The cost of this “powerful signal” to average families is debilitating and has been keenly felt wherever these policies are practiced. European energy prices are more than twice as high as the United States and their economies lag far behind even the anemic growth under Obama.  California has adopted many of these policies and now bears one of the highest energy costs in the country. Not coincidentally, it also suffers the highest poverty rate. Without the high-tech wealth of the Bay area, California’s economy would trail well behind the national growth rate.

We’re promised a new green economy and told that solar jobs already dwarf those in the outdated fossil fuel sector. But that’s not the whole story. Those 374,000 solar jobs generate just 9/10 of one percent of U.S. electricity. The 187,000 coal, oil and gas jobs produce 64.8 percent. As long as government coerces consumers to buy overpriced green products and forces taxpayers to fork over billions of dollars of subsidies to solar companies through higher utility and tax bills, solar jobs will flourish – but at the great expense of everyone else. 

The wide historical fluctuations in both CO2 atmospheric concentrations and global temperatures suggest that natural influences vastly outweigh the human causes of global warming. Paleo-climatologists document that atmospheric CO2 levels were five times higher during the Jurassic Period and global temperatures were about 13 degrees (F) higher during the Pleistocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum – long before humans or the SUV.

In 2016, President Obama came to Yosemite Valley to warn that the last of Yosemite’s glaciers would soon disappear. Timing is everything: if he had stood on the same spot 20,000 years earlier, he would have been buried under about 2,000 feet of glacial ice.

The first IPCC report in 1990 sounding the alarm over global warming gives us some actual experience with the accuracy of its climate modelling. Actual global temperatures are now well below the smallest temperature increases it originally projected. Twenty years before, the scientific consensus warned pollution was about to trigger another Ice Age.

The inaccuracy of past projections suggests that the current state of science is still far from understanding the intricate natural forces and interrelationships at play – and farther still from accurately forecasting temperatures over hundreds of years within fractions of a degree. Perhaps that’s why many prominent and respected climatologists continue to challenge and debate the question, despite claims that “97 percent of the scientists agree” and despite calls to silence “climate deniers” as heretics.

As the fable of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” illustrates, nothing is more threatening to a flawed consensus than a single dissenter. Our politically incorrect President has just stepped forward from the crowd and pointed out the obvious.

The Paris Accord points the way to a future of skyrocketing energy prices, lower productivity and wages, a massive wealth transfer from America to nations like China and India, and a permanently declining quality of life for our children.

Fortunately, President Trump has a different vision: a future in which families can enjoy the prosperity that abundant energy provides and the quality of life that comes from that prosperity. We can’t get there from Paris.

Whichever course we take -- whether we choose abundance and prosperity or scarcity and poverty -- one thing is certain. The earth will continue to warm and cool as it has for billions of years.

McClintock represents California's 4th District.

The point system is based on the following criteria: 50 percent community service, 15 percent work experience and extracurricular activities and 10 percent scholastic GPA and financial need.

The chamber congratulates the following scholarship recipients for 2017 and wishes them much success: Cheljea Jang, Shane Simon, Jack Van Boening and Eileen Xie — all from Oak Ridge High School.

Men and Suicide - Breaking the Silence in El Dorado County

$
0
0

[PRpond]

Suicide in men has been called a silent epidemic around the world because of limited awareness. Yet according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, men die by suicide 3.5 times more often than women and account for the majority of suicide deaths in most nations, including the United States. El Dorado County is no exception. A study of health data in El Dorado County between the years 2005 and 2015 showed that 347 people died from suicide in the county, and seventy-eight percent of these deaths were among males. In addition, seventy-three percent of the suicide deaths were among people aged 40 or older.  

“As a community, we need to be talking about suicide,” said Laura Walny, Program Manager with the El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency. “It’s important that everyone knows the risk factors and signs to look for, as well as protective factors that can help reduce the risk of suicide.”  

When it comes to suicide and suicide attempts, there are some big differences between men and women. “Research shows that while females tend to make more suicide attempts than males, their methods are generally not as lethal as men,” said Walny. “Men, by and large, tend to act more quickly on suicidal thoughts and to use more lethal means, such as firearms.” Of the 347 suicide deaths in El Dorado County between 2005 and 2015, over half (fifty-four percent) were committed with a firearm.  

Risk Factors and Warning Signs for Suicide

Certain factors tend to put individuals at risk for suicide. These include social stressors such as social isolation, family breakdown (divorce or separation), overwork, and employment insecurity. These stressors can be especially difficult for men because they often do not have the same social supports as women. In addition, men may be less likely than women to seek out help when they are depressed or experiencing emotional problems. “The stigma males may feel in asking for help with mental health problems can be very powerful,” said Walny.  

In addition to social stressors, a history of alcohol or other drug use can be a significant risk factor for suicide. Social factors are often combined with alcohol or drug abuse, particularly in men. In fact, many suicides are committed while the individual is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.  

As men age, their risk for suicide can also increase. Risk factors, warning signs and symptoms of suicide and depression can look different for older people than for young adults. Some risk factors increase with age, such as chronic health conditions; disabilities; limited mobility and access to services and activities; substance abuse; and fear of prolonged illness. Older adults face challenges such as coping with retirement, smaller budgets, health concerns, and loss of friends and family. Symptoms of depression in older adults (such as loss of appetite, changes in sleep and disinterest in activities once enjoyed) can often be mistaken for “normal” signs of aging.

The most critical warning signs of suicide are:

  • Talking about wanting to die or about suicide
  • Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live
  • Looking for ways to kill oneself

 

"If you are concerned about someone, don’t ignore those feelings,” said Walny. “Talk to them and ask direct questions. Call the Friendship Line at (800) 971-0016 or National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255 and talk with a trained counselor who can provide additional tips.”

Protective Factors

Research shows that there are certain protective factors that can help to reduce the risk of suicide. These include having a strong social circle of friends, engaging in meaningful activities (such as volunteering or taking up a hobby), and staying as physically active as possible. Major protective factors to help reduce suicide include:

  • Effective behavioral health care
  • Connectedness to individuals, family, community, and social institutions
  • Life skills (including problem solving skills and coping skills, ability to adapt to change)
  • Self-esteem and a sense of purpose or meaning in life
  • Cultural, religious, or personal beliefs that discourage suicide

 

“Ideally, a person will have multiple protective factors,” said Walny. Walny emphasized that if someone is severely depressed, it is important to reach out for help to a mental health professional or trained counselor.

Sun Safety Campaign at El Dorado Union High School District

[Serena Fuson]

The 2017 Sun Protection Fest was held at the Placerville Aquatic Center on June 2nd where several agencies in El Dorado County teamed up with the help of alumni and current students from the El Dorado Union High School District (EDUHSD) to spread word about the importance of sun safety.

Bella Hoffman, an alumni from El Dorado High School (EDHS), stated “I believe that monitoring your exposure to the sun is a huge way to protect yourself. We often do not realize how much time we spend in the sun, but it really does add up.” 

The event was a huge success with over 150 participants in attendance who participated in swimming, food, music, games & prizes, and sun safety lessons. 

Ponderosa High School (PHS) senior, Anna Hicks, said “This campaign is important because El Dorado County is facing an increasing number of skin cancer causes and knowing that my peers have been diagnosed with cancer shows that our kids and teens are being harmed. This campaign will protect our community and promote health in generations to come.”

Thank you to the El Dorado County Public Health Division, City of Placerville’s Community Services Department, Marshall Medical Center, and El Dorado Community Health Center for making this event possible for our community. 

For sun safety tips and additional information about the sun safety campaign, including ways other organizations can help promote sun safety, please visit www.welldorado.org.

Sac City college lineman from Union Mine HS commits to UC Davis

$

[Jason Spencer, UC Davis News Service]

Colton Lamson, a 2015 graduate of Union Mine High School and more recently a defensive lineman for Sacramento City College, has signed his grant-in-aid agreement to play football for UC Davis, announced head coach Dan Hawkins on Tuesday. He is expected to enroll with the university for the 2017 fall quarter.

Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 235 pounds, Lamson recorded 24 tackles with 2.5 for losses during his redshirt freshman season at Sac City. He notched a five-yard sack in the Panthers’ Nov. 5 win over Feather River College, then earned a season-best six stops in the State Center Bowl victory against Diablo Valley College two weeks later. However, Lamson intends to switch to offensive line with the Aggies.

Lamson previously lettered in both football and baseball at Union Mine HS in nearby El Dorado Hills. He garnered first-team All-Sierra Valley Conference honors as a tight end and defensive end during his senior year under head coach Davy Johnson. Lamson logged 36 tackles with a sack, a hurry and two passes defended that year, while serving as a team captain. In fact, he demonstrated his leadership off the field as well: he served as class president during his junior and senior years at UHMS.

Academically, Lamson was a four-year scholar-athlete in high school, then added similar honors while at Sac City. His father, Jeff Lamson, played tight end for Washington State during the mid-1980s.

UC Davis, which announced a record recruiting class during last February’s signing period, enters its first season under Hawkins’ watch. The Aggies will open on September 2 at San Diego State.

California Allocates $25 Million for El Dorado County Jail Construction Projects

[Correctional News]

Nine California counties have been awarded a total of $270 million for local jail construction and improvement projects. Allocated by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), the conditional lease-revenue bond financing — established in the governor’s 2016-17 budget and in Senate Bill 844 — was earmarked for counties that have not yet received jail improvement funding, or that so far have received only partial funding, according to a statement by the BSCC.

The legislation requires counties to improve housing with an emphasis on expanding program and treatment space, to create in-custody mental health or treatment space, and to establish space for reentry services, according to a statement by BSCC...

El Dorado County
A $25 million allocation will also support an expansion of the existing Placerville Jail Facility with a two-story addition to provide visitation, classification, program space, medical, mental health, education, drug counseling, life skills, inmate reentry services and female housing units.    

Twelve counties submitted funding requests totaling $366 million. Ultimately, however, only Contra Costa, Placer, Plumas, El Dorado, Mendocino, Lassen, Mono and Modoc counties were awarded improvements funds.

New Pot Regulations Passed Last Week by California Senate

$

[Alison Malsbury] 

California Cannabis Law Senate Bill 94.  California just came out with its Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”)

The California Legislature today [Friday] passed Senate Bill 94, which effectively repeals the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”) and incorporates certain provisions of the MCRSA in the licensing provisions of the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA” aka Proposition 64). As we’ve covered extensively, draft rules for the MCRSA dropped in late April, but speculation has been rampant that the state would integrate the rules for both medicinal cannabis (MCRSA) and adult use cannabis (AUMA). SB 94 does just that by creating the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”).

Here are 10 of the most important highlights of today’s bill:

1. The governing bureau will now be the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“the Bureau”).

2. The types of licenses available for commercial adult-use cannabis activity and commercial medicinal cannabis activity will be the same. The licenses available under both the MCRSA and the AUMA will continue to be available for both kinds of activity, and for specialty cottage cultivation licenses and microbusiness licenses, and, commencing on January 1, 2023, licenses for large outdoor, indoor, and mixed-light cultivation will also be available for both medicinal and adult-use cannabis activity.

3. Producing dispensary and transporter licenses will not be available.

4. Quality assurance, inspection, and testing requirements of cannabis and cannabis products prior to retail sale will change. Distributors will be required to store cannabis batches on their premises during testing, testing lab employees will be required to obtain samples for testing and transport those samples to testing labs, and distributors will be required to conduct a quality assurance review to ensure compliance with labeling and packing requirements, among other things.

5. Though the MCRSA limited the combinations of medicinal cannabis licenses a person may hold until January 1, 2026, the MAUCRSA will not apply these limits (other than that testing laboratory licensees are prohibited from obtaining licenses to engage in any other commercial cannabis activity);

6. The residency requirements of the AUMA are repealed. In other words, out of staters and even residents of other countries can freely participate.

7. Additional advertising requirements, including regulation of online advertising and the creation of a universal symbol for edible cannabis products will be implemented.

8. The cannabis excise tax will be measured by the average market price (as defined) of the retail sale, instead of by the gross receipts of the retail sale.

9. Applicants for cultivation licenses will need to identify the source of water supply.

10. The Bureau will no longer have the authority to regulate and control industrial hemp.

Disclaimer
Please be mindful that possessing, using, distributing and selling marijuana are all federal crimes and that this blog is not intended to give you any legal advice, much less lead you to believe that marijuana is legal under federal law. Please also note that even though marijuana is illegal under federal law, you will need to pay federal taxes just as though you are a legal entity. This is true even if you are a state law not-for-profit entity.

Research Project Rolls into El Dorado County Fair as a Restored Covered Wagon

06-24-2011 Sherilyn M. Lum-Alarcon: "I had the pleasure of working on this project through Cooper Woodson Sac State. It is wonderful to see it completed and being used so well and lovingly at the El Dorado County Fair."

Sacramento State Professor Shirley Moore, her husband, Joe Moore, and William Pettis led the effort to create a full-size replica of a covered wagon. Sacramento State Professor Shirley Moore’s research on African Americans who took part in the overland migration of 1841-1869 has inspired a group of people to create a living example of that time – a handmade, full-size replica of a covered wagon.
 
The project, “Sweet Freedom’s Plains: African Americans on the Overland Trails 1841-1869” was requested by the National Park Service. Moore says not much was known about this group of pioneers, and she’s reached out to their descendents to learn more about them. “I uncovered so many wonderful stories about who they were and why they came west,” Moore says.
 
One of those stories involves Hiram Young, a freed slave who owned and operated a renowned wagon-making company in Independence, Mo., prior to the Civil War. Young employed slaves and freemen, paying all of them the same wage and allowing the slaves to buy their freedom. His family also operated a farm that grew the foodstuffs the pioneers would need on their trip.
 
“Young cornered the market in Independence on producing wagons,” Moore says. “One of his contemporaries said that you could look out over the prairie, and as far as the eye could see you saw Hiram Young wagons going west.”
 
Moore’s project was an inspiration to her husband, Joe. “In reading the kind of material she was coming across, I was amazed at the stories she was telling,” he says. “I wanted to do something visual. Something to tie people to the project.”
 
So he decided to build a full-size covered wagon, enlisting the help of William Pettis, a horse breeder and founder of the 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers reenactors.
 
“We didn’t have any blueprints for this thing,” Pettis says. “We had sketches of what they looked like, so a lot of it was like, ‘Well, let’s try this and see how it works.’ ”
 
Smaller than a Conestoga wagon, the bright orange and green replica is basically a large, covered farm wagon, 12 feet by 5½ feet, which was more typically used by pioneers.
 
The undercarriage is authentic, made in the 1800s by P. Schuttler’s Chicago Wagons and found through the Hansen Wheel and Wagon Shop in South Dakota. The wagon’s bed – the base, side boards, frame for the canvas top, and various storage boxes – was handmade.
 
Moore and Pettis were helped in their yearlong effort by several students from Sacramento State’s Woodson College, volunteers from the Center for Sacramento History, and Al Holland, a lecturer in Sacramento State’s History Department.
 
Vanessa Beals, a Health Science major at Sacramento State, was one of the volunteers, helping wherever she could, whether painting or hammering nails into place. She got involved in the effort through the Cooper-Woodson College Enhancement Program, and has enjoyed learning the history behind the project. “After learning about the journey the pioneers took, I want to know more about it,” she says.
 
More support came from about 20 local and state organizations, including Sacramento State’s Center for California Studies, Los Rios College Federation of Teachers, the Sacramento Observer, Wells Fargo and the California State Parks Foundation.
 
The Sacramento chapter of the Teamsters National Black Caucus has assumed the duty of transporting the wagon to various display locations the next few months. The wagon is currently at the African American Museum and Library in Oakland, will return to Sacramento for Gold Rush Days over Labor Day weekend, and in October will go on permanent display at Marshall Gold Discovery Park in Coloma.
 
Shirley Moore hopes the displays will generate more information on the African-American westward migration. People who are descendants of these pioneers, have information or materials about them, or items such as letters, diaries, journals or artifacts are invited to contact the Black Overland Trails Wagon Project at (916) 278-5363 or www.csus.edu/cooper.
