bandmates play at Rose Parade

T

wo Oak Ridge High School seniors rang in the new year in an extraordinary way this January by marching in the Pasadena Rose Parade honor band alongside more than 320 other participants from 40 states across the nation.

Upon the suggestion of Oak Ridge Music Director Paul Varoff more than a year-and-ahalf ago, then sophomore Gavin Verandes decided to try out for the Rose Parade Honor Band and convinced his friend Alexios Sideris put his hat in the ring as well.

“Mr. Varoff said it was very difficult to get into,” Verandes recounted.

“He said that only one other Oak Ridge student has made the ensemble before.

“When I told my parents about it, I was skeptical,” he continued.

“They told me that I should audition, even if I didn’t think I was going to make it. Fast forward two years later, I made the ensemble and I just went through one of the most memorable experiences of my life.”

Verandes is a percussionist in the Oak Ridge band and marched tenor drums this past season.

He grew up drumming and playing music, introduced to various instruments by his dad, a musician.

On the other hand, Sideris has no musicians ■

CRIB NOTES by Julie Samrick

What’s your word?

I

t was 2019 and I was spending the first New Year’s Eve in years with my older sister. She pointed out a stack of poster boards and magazines in her kitchen, explaining she’d grown accustomed to making a vision board each Jan. 1.

“Instead of a resolution, I think of one word that I want to manifest in the new year,” she added.

I took the challenge and have now made the exercise of reflecting on a word for the year a tradition for the third straight time.

That first year one word spoke to me: strength. At the time I’d been feeling a bit soft in more ways than one, but who knew the pandemic would strike mere weeks later and the test of strength that would follow? That exercise, and word, became a compass for me in 2020.

When I could have gotten bogged down, numb to the isolation and lack of normalcy, remembering my word kept me afloat.

I continue to work to keep this perspective and help my own kids and my middle school students navigate, and not tune out from, what has been a very challenging time. The most read article in the New York Times in 2021 was about Americans’ collective mental health. In “There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing,” writer Adam Grant argues that languishing was “the dominant emotion” of 2021. “Past the fight or flight angst of the early days of the pandemic, we’ve settled into a middle ground,” Grant continues. “The neglected middle child between flourishing and depression, we are languishing.”

Like the economy surrounding us, we are not functioning at full capacity either. “Languishing is a sense of stagnation and emptiness. It feels as if you’re muddling through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield,” Grant continues.

This state is worrisome because mental health experts say the people most likely to experience major depression and anxiety in the next decade aren’t the ones with those symptoms today. They are the people who are languishing right now and this also applies to our children. “Part of the danger is that when you’re languishing, you might not notice the dulling of delight or the dwindling of drive,” Grant writes.

“When you can’t see your own suffering, you don’t seek help or even do much to help yourself.”

The antidote, Grant suggests, is finding “flow.” This can take different forms. My 19-year-old noted that for him, it’s having a routine, something he realized during his Christmas break. I’ve come to realize that for me my flow comes from connecting with others and also by thinking of a word to focus on each year. For anybody still trying to figure out how to zap out of this trance-like state we are in as a nation, focusing on a word for the new year might also help you find forward movement.

My word for 2021 likewise kept me centered and aware. By the end of 2020 I realized I’d gotten too comfortable, too safe, and wasn’t feeling as easy going as I’ve always been. I needed more “flexibility” and I’d take looser joints as well.

After the 2020 election, when we reached a new level of division in America, I again sat safe in my comfort zone, feeling helpless as I watched the news.

I saw that our local schools were looking for academic support teachers to help offset some of the learning losses kids were, and are, suffering with during the pandemic. After an 18-year hiatus from teaching, I jumped back in and have been back teaching for ■

MESSAGE FROM EID by Jim Abercrombie

Adapting to challenges

A

s I write this column, 2021 is coming to a close and another year full of promise and dedicated work lies ahead.

Over the last two years, El Dorado Irrigation District has been faced with multiple challenges that required clear-eyed focus and commitment. These challenges faced not just the district, but everyone in the communities we call home.

From power shutoffs and continuing drought conditions to the ongoing pandemic and the catastrophic fire that has affected so many in our county, this has been a time when our community has shown its resilience in the face of significant obstacles.

I am so very proud of the women and men of EID who — like many other responders in our community — focus their attentions to the work that needs to be done to ensure the service our customers rely on is there when they need it ... around the clock.

When the Caldor Fire destroyed four sections of EID’s 22-milelong canal and flume system in August, planning began immediately to reconstruct this vital water conveyance. Construction crews have been working around the clock over these long weeks to do just that. Construction schedules show that, depending on the amount of rain and snowfall over the next couple of weeks, we should be able to water up the flumes by late January or early February — in time to begin concerted efforts to bank water in Sly Park Recreation Area’s Jenkinson Lake, EID’s primary drinking water reservoir, should drought conditions continue.

While the storms over the past several weeks have affected reconstruction schedules, they have also provided much-needed replenishment of Jenkinson Lake — Mother Nature has helped refill the reservoir naturally.

However, the water deficit created by multiple dry years remains. Rest assured, district staff members plan intensively and are taking appropriate action to ensure supplies are secure for 2022. At this time, the district remains under a call for a voluntary reduction in water usage by 15% and we thank our customers for their efforts to date.

In 2022 we will continue to make headway on projects important to maintaining EID’s complex infrastructure. At its Dec. 13 meeting, the EID Board of Directors adopted the 202122 mid-cycle operating budget and 2022-26 financial plan that includes implementation of the previously approved 5% increases in water and recycled water rates.

Wastewater rates, which were reduced in January 2021, will remain the same.

The rate increases for 2022 and those planned for coming years will be critically important to the district’s ability to continue funding necessary infrastructure replacement and to maintain and improve service levels. According to the most recent American Water Works Association benchmark statistics, the district consistently performs in the bottom quartile of comparison agencies with respect to interruption of services resulting from leaks and breaks.

EID’s board remains committed to a sustained investment in maintaining or improving existing performance levels and avoiding additional significant interruptions like those created by recent failures in our water transmission and sewer force mains.

EID’s entire workforce is aware that our ratepayers are spending their hard-earned money on bimonthly bills to help support our efforts to maintain and enhance our safe and reliable service. These bimonthly ■

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks to those serving in schools EDITOR: his season many take time to reflect on what and who they are thankful for. As someone who works within our local school system, I would like to extend thanks and gratitude to those who serve in our local schools.

The last three years have been challenging for all members of society, but I can attest that they have been very difficult for schools. I am proud of the fact that our schools were among the first to reopen and have worked hard to educate students and provide a safe place for them to learn and grow.

No matter the challenge or curve balls thrown, staff have continued to show up everyday committed to supporting the students they serve.

I applaud the resolve of teachers, administrators and support staff who have undergone some of the most challenging circumstances that no doubt no one ever thought they would. And yet they continue forward. Many spend more time with other

people’s children than they do with their own families. During a time where everything is inconsistent, they have providing consistency for kids.

It is not perfect, but nothing ever is ... the goal is to continue forward and strive toward constant improvement.

As the saying goes, “The weather shapes mountains just as problems make leaders.” There is a lot of “weather” right now and yet schools continue to move forward leading to shape students and work to meet their needs. Thank you for your commitment, your resolve and your love for the students you serve.

For those reading this, consider taking a moment and sending a letter of thanks to someone you know who works in a school environment. Many are exhausted and discouraged right now and your letter might just be the encouragement they need to continue doing the amazing work that they do.

Band

Continued from 1

in his family. His interest first piqued in the fourth grade when the Rolling Hills Middle School band performed at his school. “Band just looked fun,” he said, drawn to the trombone’s unusual shape. “The trombone has a slide, which is completely different from any other instrument.”

With no private lessons and educated solely through the school system, Sideris persisted with music and is now the trombone section leader for Oak Ridge. His younger brother, also in the band, plays mellophone. “I like to say I rubbed off on him,” Sideris shares with a grin.

Verandes and Sideris sent in video audition recordings in anticipation of the 2021 Rose Parade. COVID-19 shutdowns delayed the parade for the first time since World War II. Then, last December, Sideris was sent music assignments which he recorded and posted for feedback.

Meanwhile Verandes trekked to Indianapolis with the drumline to rehearse. “The biggest challenge for me was adapting to the higher level of musicianship everyone else was at,” he said.

The week prior to their parade performance, the honor band members travelled to Los Angeles to finally practice as a group. They also performed at Disneyland, during which the boys delighted in gaining backstage access and a behind-the-scenes perspective. Despite five-hour rehearsals for five days, pouring rain hindering their ability to do outside marching formation practice and canceled sight-seeing field trips, both boys are adamant it was one of the best times of their lives.

“It was a great experience,” said Sideris. “As cool as the parade was, the lead up to the parade was really the most interesting part because you got

to meet people from so many different places. All of these other kids are stellar musicians. They’re top-tier musicians and it pushes you to do more.”

Verandes agreed. “My favorite moment was actually not a performance,” he said. “I enjoyed the small things a lot more. Staying up late the last night playing cards, making inside jokes and spending time with my new friends was what I enjoyed the most.”

Both seniors now look forward to the spring band season. Verandes said he loves the competition aspect and Sideris stressed that he finds the camaraderie inspiring.

“Band is probably the most diverse group on campus,” mused Sideris.

“There are people that might be completely polar opposite personality-wise or interest-wise but in band you can unite.”

After graduation this spring, Sideris plans to attend community college to

save money with the intent to transfer to a four-year university majoring in business/economics to pursue a career in personal finance. But he said his love of music is here to stay. He plans to continue playing trombone and may join the California State University, Sacramento marching band since it does not require enrollment at the school.

Verandes said he finds respite writing and recording music with his band, Sparrow. “Sitting down behind my drum set in my garage and playing as loud as I can ironically gives me peace and helps me blow off steam when I’m upset about something,” he shared.

Sparrow performs at local venues around the Sacramento area and has even played a pregame set prior to a Sacramento Kings’ game at Golden 1 Center. He is considering attending Boise State University in the fall, lured by its music program.

Hands4Hope keeps community warm and fuzzy in the safety of their homes, instead of being made at the annual Blanket Making Party, due to the continuation of the pandemic.

Because last year’s Winter Boutique Planning Committee did a fantastic job navigating through a pandemic, with an ever-changing set of guidelines, this year’s committee was able to do the same much more easily. The committee, led by Winter Boutique Youth Committee Chair Mishti Shah, mentored by youth leader Nivi Sudhir Kumar, was dedicated to serving those in need, especially those affected by the Caldor Fire and COVID-19. The Winter Boutique was open for the first two weekends in December.

“It was amazing to see the happiness on people’s faces as they selected items not only for themselves, but also for family members for the holiday season,” Mishti said. “It was amazing to see our planning and sorting efforts come together and have such a huge impact toward families in need.”

Maya Moss, the decorations and setup chair, took the lead in designing the boutique to look like Candy Cane Land with red and white streamers and snowflake decorations. Grace Brasil, the marketing chair, led her group in marketing the boutique to agencies in El Dorado and Sacramento counties. Mahee Haswani took on the behind-the-scenes roles of creating and monitoring all the service opportunities for volunteers. All

ands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference hosted its 12th annual Warm and Fuzzy Drive and Winter Boutique last month at El Dorado Hills Town Center, serving more than 140 struggling families.

Through the incredible generosity of the community, 5,000-plus warm clothing items were collected and 120 no-sew blankets were made.

In the letter of application, the applicant is asked to answer questions relating to the position. Applicants are also encouraged to provide any other information they feel would be relevant to the board’s consideration of their application.

The Board of Trustees has successfully used the provisional appointment process in the past to fill vacancies rather than calling for a special mid-term election, at a cost more than $100,000 and would require the candidate to run in June 2022 and again in November 2022. A provisional appointee would need to run in November 2022 to retain the seat.

Serena Fuson EDUHSD Kevin W. Brown, member of the El Dorado Union High School District Board of Trustees, recently resigned.

At a recent special board meeting the EDUHSD Board of Trustees determined it would fill this board vacancy through a provisional appointment. All eligible residents are welcome to apply.

To be eligible for this public service position a person must live in the high school district area, be 18 years of age or older, registered to vote and willing to meet the substantial time commitment necessary to be a board member, a minimum of 30 hours monthly.

Application and letter will be available beginning Jan. 12. To apply for this provisional appointment, a person must have a letter of application to the Superintendent’s Office (Attn: Serena Fuson) or to

Hotel

On Feb. 8 a panel consisting of two members of the Board of Trustees will screen applicants for eligibility and identify the candidates to be invited to interview.

Interviews will occur in the EDUHSD Board Room at 4675 Missouri Flat Road in Placerville.

Prospective applicants will be notified as soon as the time of the meeting is confirmed. It is anticipated the provisional appointee will officially attend the next regular board meeting March 8.

Persons interested in applying are encouraged to contact the Superintendent’s Office at (530) 622-5081 ext. 7225. Information on the district or the role and responsibilities of a trustee are also available by logging onto the district website at eduhsd.k12.ca.us.

“It’s a very happening brand throughout the U.S.,” described Devdhara. There are currently 176 Aloft hotels in more than 25 countries and territories around the world, the nearest ones in Santa Clara, San Francisco Airport, San Jose and Dublin.

Core Hotels LLC also owned and operated Town Center’s Holiday Inn Express until selling it in 2019; its success there was a major impetus to the decision to stay in El Dorado Hills.

“It’s always busy,” Devdhara noted of the Holiday Inn. “There are several hotels in Folsom and we’ve noticed that a lot of travelers and individuals who work in that area prefer to drive ten or fifteen minutes to come here and stay in Town Center.

It’s an exceptional location.

“El Dorado Hills is a fabulous place to be,” added Devdhara.

Core Hotels LLC has owned and managed hotels for more than 35 years, including Hilton and Marriott brands, Embassy Suites and Hampton Inns.

Cigdem Askin’s homebased business is sure to thrill taste buds. Pastry Bites in El Dorado Hills offers local delivery of baklava.

Pastry Bites brings delicious culture to El Dorado Hills Sel Richard Staff writer

A

s the first delicate crunch of flaky golden layers gives way to a burst of nutty sweetness, the ensuing succulence is an epicurean experience from Cigdem Askin’s fledgling home-based business sure to thrill your taste buds.

Owner of the new Pastry Bites in El Dorado Hills, Askin bakes authentic baklava for customers looking for a treat not only unusual but provides a scrumptious bit of Turkish lore.

Her homemade recipe is developed through years of experimentation and made fresh daily to order. She hopes to soon offer a variety of flavors of a dessert traditionally served at Turkish celebrations like Ramadan and the New Year.

“I think it connects people,” Askin said. “It brings culture to the community because some people don’t know it but they’re willing to try it. We have a saying in Turkish that translates to: ‘Let’s eat sweet and talk sweet.’”

Born and raised in Turkey, Askin immigrated to Nevada in 1985 looking for better opportunities. Speaking little English and armed with a pillow and one suitcase, she survived in an empty apartment sleeping on two Turkish towels. “One was my bed and the other was my blanket,” she reminisced.

“Slowly I discovered garage sales. My first couch was $10.”

The determined young woman moved to California five years later, finally ending up in El Dorado Hills in 2004.

Askin is now a teacher associate at Silva Valley Elementary School, married, has seen her four children through Oak Meadow Elementary School, Rolling Hills and Marina Village middle

“We have a saying in Turkish that translates to: ‘Let’s eat sweet and talk sweet.’”

We will remain open full-time to service and maintain our clients heating, air conditioning and indoor air quality needs 5 days a week. Our technicians are avoiding typical contact with our clients, like shaking hands and staying 6 or more feet away.

— Cigdem Askin schools and still has two attending Oak Ridge High School, not to mention recently earning her own degree in child development.

And throughout, Askin has been unwavering in her dedication to bringing Turkish and other global cultures to the community. She founded the Sacramento chapter of the Turkish American Association of California and spearheaded the Heritage Festival for both the Buckeye and Rescue school districts.

She also started Chef Bambino, the area’s first on-the-go cooking class where she taught cooking classes for children at several El Dorado Hills schools and held birthday parties and other events.

But her latest venture combines her love of cooking and her Turkish roots as well as fulfilling a lifelong dream. “I always wanted to have my own business,” she said, admitting that with growing college tuition costs looming, she thought her go-to potluck dish that garnered

rave reviews might provide an option.

On Nextdoor in late October last year, she proposed limited delivery of free baklava samples to gauge interest. Within a single hour, 50 responses were posted. She has been filling orders since.

Askin said an unexpected bonus of her sweet endeavors has been the support of her community. “I’ve met incredibly nice and kind people,” she shared. “I really feel grateful for a community that supports each other. It just makes the U.S. more special for me.

Everybody is so willing to help out and share their experience.

“I have the best of both worlds because I like to work with children and I like to cook,” she continued. “Anybody who wants to open a business, I would say, stop thinking about it and just do it.

We’ll see where it takes me.”

Although only local deliveries are currently available, Askin anticipates statewide service soon. For more infor-
