Now here is your host, Tom Fitzsimmons. Well, kind of co-host, KNCO Newstime, just about 907, 56 degrees as we've been doing the morning news. The clouds continue to kind of roll on in and it definitely has the autumn look, autumn feel, maybe some showers coming in as early as overnight tonight and tomorrow. Another impulse is expected to come on through on Thursday as well. So, yeah, we've all wanted some autumn weather. I think we have it here. I don't know how long it will last, you know, it could be 80 degrees again next week. I don't know. It is that time of year where it's transition time. But it's always bright and sunny because it's the Jason Tedder Show, starring Jason Tedder. Hey, good morning, Tom. Thank you so much. You bet. You're like the ray of sunshine that comes in here. I know. When it starts to cool down, I get happier. Oh, and the prospect of rain, I've been doing my rain dance, by the way. I am so excited. It's such a relief when the rain hits. I feel like I'm going to burn to death every night. This isn't the dance that you take your shirt off and your body... No, don't tell everyone. Well, this is what... Shh! We have people that send drones up. I think they have drone pictures of you. I wouldn't doubt it. Doing the rain dance. No, I'm an interesting guy. There's lots of... I have a following. Yes. Yes, you do. You do have a following. They're mostly cops, but... But for your ranch, with your animals and all that stuff, I'm sure they're... Yeah, it's enough heat for now. Let's get back to this new season, right? Yes. Fall is the best. I love fall. All right. You brought in a big bag with you. Are your eggs gone? Yes. Sold out again. I've never seen a guy walk into a place and get swarmed, as if there's paparazzi up front. Now, it could be because you were here, but Bonnie Magnetti is here as well, and she has her own following of wreaths across America. It's very true. It's one of my favorite organizations, so I always try to give them as much airtime as possible. Yeah. The thing is, Bonnie, first off, thanks for coming in here today. A lot of people in their mind go, well, it's too early to talk about Christmas. Not at all when it's wreaths across America, right? Right. No. It's really coming up to the crunch time. We've got one month to get the jacks in, maybe one more week after that to get the online orders in. If people don't know, the wreaths come all the way from Maine. That's where the headquarters is. That's where the big tree farm is. They are shipped across the country by volunteer truck drivers, who I have always admired, but I especially admire them this year. They deliver them all the way to the West Coast and all over the country. We have over 6,000 cemeteries this year. You know what? I'm glad you brought that up. Because you just said that. I said, yes, the price of diesel and getting those big rigs across the nation and they're doing it on their dime and on their time, that's a big ask and that's wonderful that they do this. They do that. Every year. Yeah. All right. I think it's even a more reason to give this year. You've been involved with it too, Jason, with as far as the days when the wreaths are presented out at the grave sites and just to see the people involved out there. Aside from the heavy lifting, which is the absolute heavy lifting, is getting out there and getting donations to collect the wreaths for the veterans, I've participated in three of the major events, which are pre-stacking the wreaths out on the day that they're delivered and then the day where the ceremony happens, which I believe it's on December 19th this year. It's on the 19th this year. Going out there, which is open to the public and it's really your greatest opportunity to see this thing and see ... No, excuse me, not see it, feel it. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. This is your best opportunity to feel it, feel what it's like to go out there and remember these veterans. That's where you go and place a wreath on a veteran's grave. Then of course, there's the cleanup part of it, which isn't as fun, but still an important function. Yeah, it is, because it is a special thing that happens at these cemeteries and stuff. That's part of it, is making sure that everything is good when everything's done. Yes, Bonnie. You're waving your hand like you're in school. I have something that I want to say. Yes, Miss Bonnie. Yes, Miss Bonnie. Well, I want to also mention that for the last several years, Jason has also come out with the VFW, the guys from the VFW. In January, when we go out and we pick up all the wreaths, because we can't just leave them there after the ceremony, we leave them there for a few weeks. Through the holiday season. Then we have to go around and we go to all three cemeteries, St. Patrick's, Greenwood, and Sierra Memorial Lawn, which a lot of people call Hooper and Weaver, where the mortuary is. Yeah. These guys go out and they pick them all up and they give them all to Jason after that, and Jason takes care of them. I take them to the dump. Do you? Unfortunately, that's where they end up. All right. Well, that's all right. That's very sweet you do that. I didn't know you were doing that, you and the VFW guys. Well, I would say it's very sweet the VFW does it. Not only do they supply most of the manpower, but the last couple of years, they've paid for the dump fees, too. Yeah. I love those guys. By the way, the VFW is an amazing force in this community of goodness, much like Wreaths Across America. Right. One of the best organizations around. I'm going to make a note to see if we can get that fee waived, because I have WM on every month for their monthly show. I think if they had something at the gate, I think they would waive that fee just because it's a non-profit, especially veterans helping out the memory of veterans. What happens is we used to all take them out there. I have taken them to the dump, paid the fee, then we had to come back because we don't have all the trucks and everything that VFW guys do, and made umpteen trips. You get charged every time, but they're on wire, so you can't just take the green away and just put it in the recycle, because you've got the wire frame, so that's where the charge comes in. Oh, I see. Do you guys do the wire? You don't break that apart, do you? I tried the first year, and it was a mess, because not only is it the wire frame, but there's also these big bows on them that are attached pretty well, by the way. The umpteenth snap of the rubber band on my wrist, I said, okay. Which shows you the way they're put together in the state of Maine. They're meant to be durable to last through the season, and it's awesome that they do, and it covers the country. It's amazing what they do in Maine. They are amazingly durable and so fresh. In 2000, and I'm trying to remember the year, I think it was 19, maybe 21, whatever, a few, five, six years ago, I was actually back there in Maine. It's an amazing facility to see. You went back there to that farm, huh? I went back there, because my husband and I, speaking of the fall colors, we were back in New England, which there's nothing like it if you've never seen fall colors in New England. But anyway, we went up to the Reeds Across America headquarters, which is in Columbia Falls, Maine, and we went out to, the tree farm's huge. I don't know how many acres. They have like 100 miles of road or something, but it's really huge. They have another program where we got dog tags, you know, I'm part of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and we had names of our patriots, or you can have family members. You know, some of my uncles were in World War II, for example, anybody. And then they, we went, I actually picked out a tree that would be my family tree, and I put these dog tags on it. They have also other groves, like DAR has their own grove, and we put those on. And then they also have the facility there that you can, you know, tour, and you can see the entire, you know, process, and they show you the process of how they make the reeds. It's amazing. I mean, it's all these, you know, it's all done by hand. I mean, they have a contraption, I don't know what you call it, that they put all the, you know, boughs on, and you know, wind them around, and you know, they have it down. They've been doing this for many years, but it's something to actually see. They also have a house there that's like a bed and breakfast for families that can come, mostly Gold Star families that can come and, you know, stay overnight and have breakfast up there. So it's really, I mean, it's out in the boondocks, way up in Maine, but they've really got it down. Could you explain what a Gold Star family is? Oh, if people don't know what a Gold Star family is, those are the families of service members that have been killed in action. A friend of mine is a Gold Star mother, her son was killed in Afghanistan, and she actually has a house up in the state of Washington called the Joseph House, because her son was named Joseph, and she has Gold Star families come and stay with her. It was a previous bed and breakfast, and she turned it into this home for Gold Star families and has a ton of community support. I mean, everybody you can, you know, think of from carpenters to, you know, whoever have, you know, supported getting this thing. And she has families that come and stay a week at no cost for them, and then she has all kinds of things planned for them to do when they're there. But anyway... I appreciate you educating people on that, because it's something that people don't have a knowledge of. When I was a little kid, and it was growing up, Gold Stars were in windows, and it was a very solemn thing. It's something you learned as a little kid, exactly what you said. And I still have... A service member died. I still have the flag that has a blue star on it. My brother was 18 years older than me, so he got drafted right at the very end of World War II. So my parents had a blue star flag, and if you don't know the difference between Gold Star and Blue Star, you know, Blue Star families, and there's a large organization, Sacramento Blue Star Moms, those are the families of those that are serving currently on active duty. The Gold Star families are the families that have unfortunately lost a family member during combat that was killed in action. For the listeners, the flag that we keep referencing, it's a white flag, it's portrait orientation, so it's a little taller than it is wide, and it's got a red border with a white background. And then either there'll be some stars in it, and the number of stars represent how many people you have either deployed or missing, and it'll be blue or gold, depending on the situation. Yeah, it is. It's an awesome thing. It's a beautiful thing, and it's a meaningful thing. And that's what Wreaths Across America is. It is incredible patriotism by a farmer out in Maine that came up with the idea. We'll talk about the history of it and stuff, and how it's swept across the nation, and how it hopefully continues to grow here in Nevada County. But there's some changes this year because of personnel. Bonnie's going to put on the superwoman cape and make wreaths happen, but we have to help her do this.

Welcome back to the Jason Tedder Show here for KNCO Insight. It stars Jason Tedder. Hey, good morning, everyone. He is going to be attorney to the stars. Your school work going well? Last time I talked to you, right? Yes, and that's why I missed last week's show, by the way, for the Navy birthday. I had midterms last night, or last week, see? I can't even talk right. Well, yeah, the Marines were. They said you were intimidating. I heard them. I heard them, the Uber and all that crud. Yeah, they're so funny. It is funny, isn't it? I love the bickering. I love the banter. I love it. And I love Gary Miller. He's a good man. He is a good man. Solid man. Yeah, solid man. And the Marine Corps League that they have, the Gold Country Detachment, is great. They've got great support services, just like the VFW that we brought about earlier. And there's a lot of ways people want to recognize those that serve. Wreaths Across America is a wonderful way to do it. It's a beautiful way to do it, actually, in a very important time of year, around Christmas time. But the deadlines are coming up pretty quickly. It's more like a Thanksgiving event to me, because it's like that solid month before. We have to get going. Now, Bonnie's here, as we talked to earlier. Normally, it's the Bonnie and Sally show. Sally Knutson, you guys are like Hope and Crosby. You're doing like the old shows. Just don't say Thelma and Louise. We don't want you off the cliff. No, no. I understand what you're saying, though. But Sally's not going to be able to do it this year. No, Sally is... I don't know how much she wants me to say. But she fell, and so she's kind of out of commission for a while. She'll be back, I'm sure, because you can't keep her down. She is very committed to this. And since she's not here, how old is she? Well, you were listening. Now I know this room is rigged for sound. I hope Sally is listening. Did you not want to say? Oh, no, I don't think she hides it. Sally is 91 years old. She is 91 years old. And she is amazing. She fell herself, as 91-year-olds do. But I could just see her being so ticked off that this happened. Well, she did email me. She'd much rather be out working for Reads Across America than being sitting around. She's not a sitter arounder. She's a very active lady. She writes letters to people. And don't forget Reads Across America. She writes thank yous, handwritten notes. Handwritten notes. Hardly any of us do that anymore. Old school. She's very old school. But she is very committed to reminding people that this is the time of year. And don't wait until December. If you wait until December, you'll be buying Reads for next year. Because as I mentioned, all the Reads come from Maine. And the truckers bring them out. And so that takes a process. And that takes some time to get here. So our deadlines are if you're writing a check then I need to have that by November 20th which is one month from now. Yes, exactly. And this year I was having people mail them to my house and I decided maybe that wasn't the best idea to put my address all over the place. So it's post office box 165 Grass Valley, California. And if you're going online you have until December 1st It's 859 Pacific Time because it's 1159 East Coast Time. And that address is wreathsacrossamerica.org slash and this last part is very important C-A-0-2-3-1-P like Paul That will ensure that your wreath will come to our local Grass Valley ceremony. If you leave that off we probably will not get it. So it's important It'll probably go to Arlington National Cemetery That's where this all started. Yeah It's C-A-0-2-3-1-P Right As in Paul We'll get that out there again as we do the show. The thing is is that your compadre Sally she's like clockwork She is She's very organized I hope she's listening And I hope the business people are listening because I know she was very good getting business people really involved with this because they could buy X amount of wreaths And Sally has lived in the community for many years Her family has lived here many many years So she knows a lot of people here I know that she personally connects with lots of those people So I'm trying to track people down and saying don't forget because right now we have about 1,100 wreaths maybe slightly over I got a few checks yesterday But our goal is 2,000 So we need another roughly 900 wreaths within the next month Ok There's still a heavily priced thing to do A single wreath I think used to be It's $17 I was going to say it's under $20 People are buying a couple of lattes for that I know it sounds kind of cliche but it's true It is true And if you buy 10 wreaths whether you're a company or business or individual then we will list you in our So it's kind of also a promotion for your own business that you donated to Wreaths Across America like they do at many other events around the county Well this is the thing Sally might not be able to get that hand note out there for the business owners that have participated in the past Please participate as if she wrote you This is like the note that you normally get just kind of verbalized right now EMC Hardware has been a big donator to us from day one and I will be knocking on their door They are the sweetest people Great hardware company But they always have supported us and there are several other businesses in town several that we've already heard from several that we're still waiting to hear from so we'll be reminding them I'd like to invite families too if you've got little kids to maybe buy a few wreaths and show up for the event and have your kids put the wreaths out I brought my little girl and it was such an amazing touching moment I was really impressed even though some of the names on the gravestones were kind of difficult to pronounce she took such great care and time to say the person's name and I was brought to tears She understood the gravity of what was going on and the reverence that was due to these people and it was really moving So that's awesome And that's one of the things we always say that a person dies twice the first time when they take their last breath and the second time the last time that their name is spoken so we do not want to forget our veterans and we ask people when they place a wreath on a veteran's grave that they say their name so that that veteran is always remembered And the veterans that we're talking about here in these local cemeteries you have the list of where they are We do Many of the headstones are already marked like they will have World War II Vietnam, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force whatever but there are several that are not And the letters has helped us out a lot with that They're a little harder to find those but we try going out and some of us go out about a week before that time and we place flags on the graves and that way the day of the ceremony then the public can see where the flags are and know where to place a wreath The other thing that I have started doing is asking families of individuals to come forward and to actually place their wreath first so that they know that they're the ones placing the wreath on the grave of their loved one and they don't get there and somebody's already done it I just know how time moves along and of course we become a kind of a fluid society especially in California where a lot of people moved out so sometimes people placing those wreaths like your daughter and stuff that might be the person visiting that gravesite It's all grave specific so if you have someone buried here you can mention their name if you're going to be here we'll be sure you are the one that places the wreath on their grave if you are not somebody else will but you don't have to have somebody buried here to buy a wreath several people will buy five or six wreaths because they've had many family members that have served in the U.S. military that have now passed on and they can be any place I bought one for my brother that is buried in Southern California but any place and so if you wish that and you wish their name listed in our program then when you are sending in your check or if you're going online you can check the grave specific and write in that person's name and I will try my best to get them all listed sometimes it's hard and I might make a mistake and miss somebody and if that happens I'm really sorry Don't do that She'll come after you Oh Sally corrects me She corrects me all the time You wrote down Dennis and his name is Garen Ronnie American Italian what happened He's been out there every year since we started this This has become part of your DNA He's handed out brochures for the parades and he's always out there helping me pick them up put them down We're going to take our news break and talk more about wreaths because not just the wreaths there's a whole bunch of things involved with wreaths across America like education Good morning I'm Paul Haas with a KNCO Local News Update With the November elections just two weeks away the League of Women Voters of Nevada County is indicating that there are also a number of good non-partisan resources available League President Lynn Forbes says you can start with their website There are short two minute videos on all 14 propositions and I think they're really useful There's video replays of the candidate forms that we've held here and there's also one from KCRA for the Ami Vera and Rob Tucker race the congressional third district race Forbes recommends you visit vote411.org the League's online voting guide for information about candidates and issues She's also specifically mentioning CalMatters but as decision time nears Forbes says the pace of partisan information sent to voters accelerates even further You'll see so much in your mail right now you'll be inundated on TV with all the ads and on social media and it's funny because when you look at how to vote for instance on a proposition one of the things you definitely want to look at is who's funding the campaign for or against and it's very enlightening to see where the funding is coming from and what happens in these elections is that the closer we get to election day the more money comes in Forbes also notes that even though they usually include paid statements for both sides they're not necessarily emotionally nuanced and factually based and the county has been providing opportunities for the general public to learn more about the election process in this afternoon and evening and other chances taking place The public will have the opportunity as well on October 20th, Tuesday from 4-7pm over at our ballot processing center by the airport again Information officer Taylor Wolf says interested people can stop by the ballot processing center and meet election staff see how the vote by mail are received and verified learn how voter signatures are verified and how ballots are scanned and counted using the secure system You'll also see how the count is handled on election night and ask clarifying questions of the top elections official Registrar of Voters Armando Salud-Ombres You can also vote it is a vote center there so you can attend the open house and kind of see behind the scenes and also vote yourself if you haven't already you can scan go or drop off your ballot so again that's going to be Tuesday October 20th from 4-7pm Join us for our next local news update at the bottom of the hour for news

starring Jason Tedder Hey good morning everyone and Bonnie Magnetti is here Bonnie a part of not only Resacross America Daughters of the American Revolution which is a great organization as well and as we went to break I kind of thought about Jason talking about his daughter getting kids involved and educating kids about this whole process is a big part of what Resacross does as well right? Their motto is blanking out remember and teach but I'm forgetting the middle one Sally would hit me over the head right now remember honor and teach I'm sorry I was all set to write Sally remember honor and teach I am getting older but anyway the teaching part is really important we do remember all our servicemen some have died in combat some have not but they've all served we are honoring them in this way that we're remembering them and then the next part is that we are teaching the young generation we've had Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts FHA what else am I forgetting Bright Futures all different types of youth organizations that have come out and they've been out at the ceremony or they have come out and they've helped us pick up the wreaths afterwards which is great because those kids can run around and pick up those wreaths so much easier than people my age so anyway that's a real part of it kids when I grew up and my husband grew up our age we went to cemeteries because we had loved ones buried there grandparents, aunts and uncles we put flowers on that which is part of what we did but I don't think too many people do that now and so this is a real way to teach these younger people what these people did why we're doing this why we're honoring them the other thing is your generation, my generation we were the Vietnam generation our dads were or our uncles or whoever had served in World War II my dad happened to serve at the naval shipyard he was a mechanic I found out recently when I looked at my birth certificate he was drafted to do that I didn't know they drafted people to work in the shipyards but they did probably had an expertise for it but anyway and then our generation came along and it was still the draft and so many people probably most young men my age, your age served in Vietnam but then the draft ended and now there's only 1% of the U.S. population that is serving active duty military so where we always knew military people a lot of people don't and that's part of the younger generation we are being educated to know what our U.S. military is what is being asked of them what they do and how we do respect and we do remember them when they pass on that they have served our country some have paid the ultimate sacrifice I've got a Navy vet right here it does kind of slip away if people don't talk about it actively I'm going to disagree a little bit here but I think my generation a little bit before that are very aware and have a lot of military in their family we've been at war for a long time so 25 almost 30 years now if you count the Gulf Wars too yeah since 9-11 basically but there was a lot less death truthfully we lost 6500 people over those 20 years so I think that's kind of more of the factor but it was voluntary it's a voluntary military so if you're in a military family you may know a lot of people who did volunteer but there are a lot of people who did not and who they don't know I know my daughter's generation she's in her 40s and of course she knows military her dad was in the military I was in the military and a lot of people we knew were but she has many friends that have had no interaction with military people so I think that's more common than it was years ago yeah to me it's it's not talked about enough with reverence you know if you hear discussions about it usually like right now what's going on with Iran and stuff there's a lot of anger and angst about it especially the people on the front line the men and women that are serving in their branch of the military that are taking orders and doing their job keeping us safe and promoting freedom around the world that's where we're kind of at we're around the world doing this stuff and sometimes it's just not talked about enough we talk about it on our show it feels removed and it is I think that's one of the differences the horrors of it was all over the news all the time and so it really entered in the hearts and minds of the American people this is a little side but at our DAR meeting yesterday we had a woman who was our speaker who had flown with the Flying Tigers and had flown with the troops that were going over and then flown with the troops that were returning but she said you know when they came back she said those young men they went over boys and they came back men and she said they gave their very best that they could and they came home to where they were not appreciated often even treated poorly or they came home some people did really welcome them and there were people that were kind of oblivious we were even at war because we are fortunate if you want to call it that in this country that we're not in Ukraine or we're not in a country that's being bombed so far anyway and so if you choose to just sort of remove yourself and not even think about it it's possible there are people that probably just I mean the price of gas has changed, the price of groceries but we can still all go about our daily lives without worrying about is there going to be a bomb dropped on us or any kind of thing like that it is possible that there are people that can be completely oblivious to what's going on in the rest of the world I think that's the powerful thing about doing what Jason did with his daughter and what other people have the opportunity to do with their families it has to be an awesome thing to sit back and see those wreaths being placed and see how much you see what people are giving to their country serving, doesn't mean they all died in action but just that they've stepped up and they serve the nation that's a pretty awesome thing it is a powerful image to go out there well during whatever but to see all the wreaths placed on the graves and see how much sacrifice they didn't die in combat but it's a sacrifice to go over there and or to serve and then it might click a little bit more just going wow this is an awesome thing this is an awesome part of our country this many people stepped up whether it was draft, whether it was volunteer it doesn't matter, they stepped up and for people that have never visited a national cemetery we have a national cemetery out in Dixon and I would really encourage people to go out there I have not visited it well you should one of the things I would encourage people four times a year this is aside from Wreaths Across America but four times a year in Dixon it's the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery they have a ceremony for the what's the term I'm thinking of it's for the unclaimed deceased veterans and so it's very impressive and they have a ceremony and they they will read off the names and when I first went I've gone three times but when I first went I thought oh they're going to have three or four names, no there is a whole list every time and they will read it off like John Smith U.S. Army Vietnam you know Joe Jones U.S. Navy peacetime maybe and it's really impressive and it makes you think that there are so many veterans that are unclaimed after their death I think maybe they can be can have people that have recognized them but many of them I think they get calls that this is a veteran and they have a right to be buried in the National Cemetery and they do that so that's aside from Wreaths Across America but they also do have a Wreaths Across America ceremony out there and all I think most of the national cemeteries do this all started with Arlington which is maybe the most holy place in the nation it is very impressive that takes your breath away it does so it's time to take a break before I do that you don't want to see that do you? anyway we're down the homestretch here talking Wreaths Across America and again this is the time of year to get involved this is the perfect time of year to do it so we're going to give you all the details when we come back If you're a business owner in Nevada or Placer County who should you choose to maintain your business's landscaping? there's one
