The Mighty Mandarin Offers
Medicinal Relief
While new research reveals
Placer Mandarins provide relief
from cold and allergy
symptoms, it’s likely the 40,000
visitors to the 2008 Mountain
Mandarin Festival won’t
notice as they check out the
many ways to consume the
tasty Foothills’ fruit.

By Lisa Kopochinski
November and December may
traditionally be cold and flu
season, but it’s also the time of
year when mandarin oranges
make their annual appearance.
And one is definitely helping the
other.
“From a health standpoint, we
now know that Placer County
mandarins contain a significant
amount of synephrine, a decongestant,” explains Joanne Neft, a
volunteer for PlacerGROWN, an
Auburn-based nonprofit,
membership organization that
helps local agricultural producers
market their produce.
“We take a decongestant to
remedy symptoms of allergies or
the common cold. A glass of
Placer County mandarin juice
contains as much synephr ine as
one over-the-counter decongestant tablet. What mother
wouldn’t want to give her child a
couple of easy-to-peel mandarins
to eat rather than taking a pill for
a runny nose? And here we have
this wonderful gift of fruit r ight
in our own backyard.”
This sentiment is shared by
thousands, especially those who
flock to the Mountain Mandarin
Festival, which takes place
November 21-23 at the Gold
Country Fairgrounds in Auburn.
This year, Neft hopes the festival
will attract more than 40,000
people.
“From my point of view, the
major benefit of mandarins is the
wonderful set of complex
flavors,” she says. “I don’t know
one person who can eat only one
mandarin.”
Neft was the opening manager
for the Foothill Farmers Market
20 years ago and also served as
the agricultural representative on
the Placer County Economic
Development Commission.
“For many years, I attended El
Dorado County’s Apple Festival
and one day it occurred to me
that we should have something
similar, around agriculture, in
Placer County,” she recalls.
Placer County provided
$2,000 in start-up funding, and
the Newcastle Area Business
Association agreed, as a nonprofit, to join the effort.

The first festival was held at
Newcastle’s town square and
attracted 1,500 visitors. It has
grown steadily since. “Fifteen
years ago, there were six mandarin orchards in Placer County,”
says Neft. “In 2008, there are
over 60 mandarin orchards and
more trees are being planted each
year.”
The festival stayed in
Newcastle for four years. With
more vendors and visitors than
the town square could accommodate, the festival was moved to
the Gold County Fairgrounds.
Rich Ferreira, owner of Side
Hill Citrus farm, has been a
regular participant at the festival.
A third-generation resident of
the area, Ferreira has been
growing mandarins since 1975,
and organically for nearly 20
years.
While this year has been a
down year, he is still expecting to
bring 5,000 to 6,000 lbs. (down
from approximately 8,000 lbs. last
year) of mandarins to the festival.
“We’ve been doing the festival
for quite a few years,” he says.
Expecting to sell all of his
produce, he adds, “I think there
are going to be less growers there
this year. The general consensus
across the group is that there is a
little lighter crop.”
Ferreira says growing mandarins is not a lucrative business,
even in a good year. “We had a
pretty cool spring. It warmed up
in March, but then it tur ned
cold. A lot of g rowers higher up
lost all of their fruit. I don’t have
the crop I nor mally have. I had a
fairly good crop last year, so this
year it’s off .”
Neft says mandarins are
cyclical when it comes to
production. “One year there is a
bountiful crop, and the next year
the trees rest and restore
themselves. If we go without a
frost, the trees are on different
cycles, depending on when they
were planted.”
While Placer County enjoys
the ideal terrain for mandar ins—
warm days and cool nights, soil
composition, clean air, adequate
water, and sloping terrain, Neft
adds, “Weather, of course, is
always an issue. Last year, the
very hot two-week period was
hard on mandar in trees.”
Few know more about
growing fruit in this area than
Eric Hansen, owner of Pine Hill
Orchard, a fourth-generation
ranch in Loomis.
In business since 1878,
Hansen’s great-grandparents
emigrated from Denmark and
bought 10 acres.Today, the ranch
spans 100 acres with numerous
FEATURE
varieties of peaches, plums, pears,
citrus, and much more.
With a degree in pomology (a
branch of botany that studies and
cultivates fruits), Hansen works
the ranch full time, but didn’t
start growing mandarins until
1990. “That is when my mother

Got a Cold? Eat a Mandarin
Many of us should be reaching for an orange
instead of a decongestant tablet the next time we
catch a cold.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed
mandarins provide significant amounts of synephrine,
a natural substance that can help relieve cold and
allergy symptoms.
“Our results show great promise in that the
synephrine concentrations from mandarins grown in
the Placer County orchards we tested were up to six
times higher than values previously determined for
orange juices,” explained Dr. Andrew Breksa, III, who
conducted the study last winter with researchers Klaus
Dragull and Brian Cain through USDA’s Western
Regional Research Center in Albany, California. The
study results were presented in October to mandarin
growers and other agricultural leaders in Lincoln.
The next step could be a bioavailability study that
measures the rate synephrine enters the blood stream
after a person drinks mandarin orange juice from
Placer County orchards, and how long synephrine
remains in the blood stream.
“We are blessed in Placer County to have the
potential to grow such a wide range of quality
agricultural products,” said Placer County Supervisor
Robert Weygandt, a strong advocate of Placer
County agriculture. “This study highlights another
tremendous opportunity for local growers and
residents who appreciate our agricultural heritage.”

Auburn, once again, is
welcoming the
Mountain Mandarin
Festival, an annual
event that promises not
to disappoint both
growers and lovers of
this tasty fruit.
The festival runs Nov.
21-23 at the Gold
Country Fairgrounds at
1273 High Street in
Auburn.
It celebrates a new
crop of locally grown
Mandarin oranges, a
mandarin recipe
cooking contest,
professional chef
demonstrations, food,
crafts, and activities, as
well as a children’s
area, live music and
entertainment.
There will also be
chocolate-covered
mandarins, mandarin
gelato, mandaringlazed almonds and a
cornucopia of other
mouth-watering
concoctions.
The festival is open
from noon to 5 p.m. on
Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Saturday; and 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
The cost is $1 for those
16 and under; $3 for
seniors; and $5 for those
over 16. Parking is $5.

Hansen grows Satsuma oranges
and says this past season has been
short. “We just started picking a
few this morning (Nov. 11). I
wanted to wait to let them ripen
on the tree longer than some
people. We sampled the tree last
week. One was great, one was
good and the third one was the
reason why I waited. I want
every one of mine to be good.”
A certified organic grower
since 1990, he says, “My undergraduate work was in integrated
pest management. While nonorganic farming is easier and
cheaper in the short run, in the
long run it is much harder on
you, your farm, and the environment.”

Free-Range Diners on
Thanksgiving Day
Turkey Day Feasts in the
Foothills Still Possible for
Diners Without Setting
Foot in the Kitchen
by Jane Rounsaville
If you don’t have the time,
talent, or desire to cook a

District 4 Congressional Race
Going Down to Final Count
Election officials, under the
watchful eyes of lawyers and
volunteer observers from both
the McClintock and Brown
camps, continue to wade
through some 20,000 ballots,
including more than 8,000
provisional ballots here in Placer
County, in an effort to determine who will represent
constituents in California’s
Fourth Congressional District.
As of Nov. 18, Brown still trailed
McClintock by 622 votes.
In the meantime, both Tom
McClintock, a Republican state
senator, and Charlie Brown, a
retired Air Force officer, flew to
Washington, D.C. to par ticipate
in freshmen orientation sessions.
While Brown’s failure to
move ahead of McClintock in
the razor-tight race puts him at
a disadvantage, Brown’s
spokespeople are quick to point
out that a sizable number of
votes are yet to be counted and
they fully expect their candidate
will pull out ahead in the end.
“Nevada County still has
15,000 votes to be tallied,” says
Brown spokesper son Todd
Stenhouse. Nevada County is a
stronghold for the Democratic
Party. Stenhouse also noted
ballots from Placer County’s
largest city, Roseville, are still
being counted.
Both sides remain optimistic
and skeptical about the need for
a recount. Stenhouse declined
to speculate about the possibility
of a recount, saying that such
discussions are “premature.”
McClintock spokesperson Bill
George says: “We don’t think we
are going to need (a recount).”
While Placer County election
officials hope to have the count
done by Nov. 25, they concede
it may take longer. Candidates
will have five days following
election certification to request
a recount.

Black & White Ball Moves to
Fairgrounds
Auburn’s biggest street party is
leaving the streets for its 2009
affair. The Auburn Chamber of
Commerce formally announced
its popular Black & White Ball is
moving from its longtime
Downtown location to the Gold
Country Fairgrounds, where the
gala is expected to draw more
than 5,000 people. The Ball will
be held on Aug. 29, 2009.
The decision to move the Ball
was made after several Downtown businesspeople signed a
petition to move the Ball and
made a plea to the Auburn City
Council to support moving the
event out of Downtown on a
permanent basis.
“The Chamber of Commerce
has received much feedback from
the business community, which
has been very helpful and
constructive regarding the
challenges and issues of staging
and presenting the Black &
White Ball in Downtown,” says
Chamber President-elect Ann
Rivero, “We want everyone in
the community to know we’re
hard at work addressing these
issues.”
In addition to a nudge by local
businesses, dismal ticket sales at
the big event earlier this year is
causing organizers to take a hard
look at the costly event, which is
the main source of revenue for
the chamber, along with the
charities and community
programs it sponsors. The 2008
Ball saw its net profit plummet
42 percent over the 2007 event.
As a result, organizers are looking
to reduce the high cost of the
annual event ñ which can run as
high as $260,000.
Organizers have been holding
a series of meetings in an effort
to rethink the Ball, which will be
the eighteenth such event.The
chamber is considering entertainment that will bring a new
and exciting style of music to the
Ball, say organizers.
“There are many good ideas
being researched, and we want to
do everything possible to ensure
the evening at the Ball is a
positive exper ience for every-
one,” says Rivero. “We want an
event that makes people want to
come back to Auburn again and
again to experience all that our
community has to offer.”
Post-Flight Check for
Rockholm
Placer County Supervisor
Rocky Rockholm, who chartered a $10,000 plane r ide last
summer to attend a board
meeting, reimbursed the county
for the cost of the chartered
flight in an effort to have the
issue go away.
Rockholm, who makes a
paltry $30,000 per year as a
supervisor, says he chartered the
flight on July 22 at the urging of
Placer County CEO Tom Miller
and board Chairman Jim Holmes
to attend a board meeting
regarding a North Tahoe roadway
project.The cost of the flight ñ
$9,887 ñ was originally charged
to the county.
Rockholm was on a previously
planned vacation with his family
in Utah and booked the private
roundtrip flight for the sole
purpose of attending the meeting
and then returning to Utah.
At the meeting, Rockholm,
who represents the Roseville
area, voted to support a threelane highway project in Kings
Beach and to remove fellow
Supervisor Bruce Kranz from the
Tahoe Regional Planning
Agency, supposedly for not
backing the three-lane plan.
Kranz had consistently supported
an alternative four-lane plan.
Rockholm, who will be board
chairman next year, says he paid
the charge personally because he
didn’t want the issue to be a
distraction to his board work
going forward.

FEEDBACK & FLAK
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stop the Insanity
Here is an oppor tunity to tell
our greedy and corrupt incumbents we don’t want (or need)
the proposed Rocklin Crossings
shopping center. There will be a
public hearing in the Council
Chambers at the Rocklin
Administration Building, 3970
Rocklin Road, Rocklin, beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov.
25, 2008. Imagine this: over 55
acres of proposed retail, 21
buildings with a total of 543,500
square feet, with 2,463 parking
stalls.
I’m curious if our esteemed
incumbents on the Rocklin City
Council read the news. Not just
Placer County, but the entire
country is in economic turmoil.
Rocklin has unused retail space
now. There’s no need to add to
this misery. Above all this, and
just as important, this shopping
center will have devastating
impacts on Loomis, both
environmentally and economically.
Is this the sorry legacy that
Storey, Hill, and Magnuson want
to leave behind, that against all
logic and reason, they rubberstamped this shopping center,
and in doing so, destroyed
Loomis? I urge all of you to
attend the hearing. Give the
incumbents an earful, and stop
this insanity.

I felt like a first-time Harley
owner who opts for an 883cc
Sportster and is immediately hit
with buyer’s remorse for not
buying a Road King with the
96-inch motor. The Manzanita’s
trunk circumference was 23
inches, so I could have used a
much larger saw for the big stuff,
but I spent the next couple of
hours making do.
The fragrance of freshly sawn
wood is more seductive to me
than anything Chanel could put
in a bottle. The forest chimes in
with whiffs of the tall pines and
all manner of scents, some
powerful... some nuance. Fallen
leaves and pine needles mix with
piles of wood shavings, producing a surface that is both soft and
crunchy.
When the saw is shut off, I like
to sit and listen and smell and
relax and just savor being out of
doors. Except for the distant
rustling of beasts in the woods
and breezes moving through the
highest reaches of the forest, it is
quiet and solitary and comforting. I appreciate the aloneness,
though operating a saw solo is
foolhardy.
I understand why both George
W. Bush and Ronald Reagan
spent time on their woodpiles,
splitting large rounds into stovefriendly chunks. Swinging a
maul is invigorating and a great
sweat – my brand of endurance
sport. Bullying the bulky pieces is
big fun, rising up on my toes and
slamming into dense fibers with

In the final analysis, heating
with wood isn’t about saving
money. I just acquired a 25" Stihl
saw for $300 from a friend
moving to Florida. Plus I bought
tarps, bar oil, fuel, gloves and
more. Add to this all of the time
invested and it would be more

It could have been a scene right
out of the movie City Slickers.
Here we were last Thursday, about
two dozen city and county elected
officials from the regional
transportation planning agency
(called the Sacramento Area
Council of Governments or
SACOG) tiptoeing in our nice
shoes between cow patties
amongst the roaming black Angus
cows at the Beard Ranch,
observing the meticulous packing
of delicious mandarins at the
Highland Orchard and then
watching in awe as a 92-year old
grandmother of JapaneseAmerican heritage lovingly
massaged the hanging persimmon
(to create a dried fruit delicacy
called Hoshigaki) at the Otow
Orchard and Fruit Stand. The
farm tour was a part of SACOG’s
“Rural-Urban Connections
Strategy,” which is designed to
help educate local leaders in our
region on challenges facing
farmer s and ranchers and to
develop ways to enhance the
sustainability of our rural working
lands. I represent the City of
Auburn on the 28-member
SAGOG Board of Directors,
which encompasses the counties
of Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento,
Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba.
What did we learn? It was
clearly evident that if our local
leaders and state legislative
representatives fail to pursue a
truly aggressive and thoughtful
pro-agricultural policy, that most
of the rural working lands in
Placer County will eventually
turn into suburbs. Too often all
levels of government put up
expensive regulations that pose no
compliance problem for large
corporations, but instead drive
hard-working small farmers and
ranchers out of business. Burdened
by these expenses, the kids see
Mom and Dad working for
pennies and decide, not surprisingly, to pursue urban careers.

Some of the questions most
often asked about Sutter
Auburn Faith Hospice.
The holiday season is especially difficult
since my mom’s passing. How can I cope?
Light Up a Life is a ceremony that Sutter Auburn Faith
Hospice sponsors every Christmas season to encourage us
all to take time to honor the memory of friends and family
who have passed. It is a remembrance service, a time to
pause with others to reflect and be comforted. Music is
provided by the Colfax High School Chamber Choir.
Please join us in the lobby of Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital
at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9th as we gather and
recognize that many people experience both joy and
sadness as the holidays approach.

1. Clean the refrigerator:
Clean the icebox before it is
loaded with all those holiday
treats. Start by removing the shelving and drawers,then spray down the
interior with a solution of one cup
water and one teaspoon dishwashing
liquid and clean condiment tops.
Don’t forget to clean the outside.
2. Polish the silver:
After spending a year in storage,
silver serving pieces and candlesticks
may become dusty or tarnished. Use
a silver polish that is safe to use on
silver pieces that come in contact
with food.
3. Clean the fireplace and stock
up on wood/propane:
Place newspaper around the fireplace to protect the floor and shovel
ashes into a bag. Use a vacuum to
pick up the remaining lightweight
ashes. For glass doors, scrape off any
baked-on soot with a razor and use
a vinegar-water solution (one half
cup vinegar to one gallon water) to
clean the glass. Stock up on wood
and fire starters or check the propane tank to ensure the fire will burn
brightly throughout the holiday season.
4. Prepare the guestroom:
Wash the bedding, clean up pet
hair to avoid allergic reactions, and
dust drawer s and closets in the
guestroom. For wood surfaces such
as dressers and nightstands, use a
cleaner to remove any dust, dirt and
grime that accumulated and give furniture a br illiant shine.
Your Guide to the
Mandarin Festival
When autumn days in the
Placer County foothills are warm
and the nights are cold, mandarin
orange growers anxiously await
the first blush of color on their
fruit. Just before Thanksgiving,
samples are eagerly tasted for
sweetness and then long hours
are spent hand-snipping each
stem to br ing in the first crop of
the season for the Mountain
Mandarin Festival.You will find
fresh mandarins and unlimited
samples at growers’ stands
throughout the fairgrounds.
Local growers offer fresh fruit,
gift baskets, and samples galore.
Throughout the Festival, growers
are offering fresh oranges that are
chocolate dipped, locally
produced mandarin syrups,
mar inades and salad dressings,
fresh mandarin
milkshakes, and
gift packages
available for
holiday shipping.
Watch for surprise

All of the Festival food vendors
will be offering at least one
Mandarin orange item on their
menu. The Mandarin orange will
be an ingredient in funnel cakes,
flan, egg rolls with dipping
sauce, cheesecake, muffins, pizza,
Mandarin BBQ pulled pork, and
Mandarin orange gelato. Last
year’s favorites included fresh
chocolate dipped mandarins,
mandarin orange spoon fudge,
and the roasted mandarin orange
almonds. Take a break at the
