A
fter 41 years working in education, Cheryl Olson is exchanging her California lifestyle for Rocky Mountain air. The Rescue Union School District superintendent announced her retirement earlier this spring, saying goodbye to her many years in the California school system. “I love our community. I love living where I work because I enjoy seeing families out and about and in the store. I truly love what I do. My favorite
thing to do is to go to the sites, help out in classrooms and support staff and students however I can. I will miss Rescue, the teachers and staff, the students and the families,” Olson told Village Life. Olson stepped into the superintendent’s role at RUSD four years ago, relocating from the Bay Area, where she was superintendent of the San Bruno Park School District. Much of her career was spent teaching in Redding, which launched her on the path to administration, first as a principal and then assistant superintendent in that ■
There’s a new face at the Cameron Park Community Services District. Kimberly Vickers recently joined the staff as the new recreational director, taking the place of Whitney Kahn. “The board and staff are thrilled to have Kim take a leadership role in the Recreation Department,” said CPCSD General Kimberly Vickers Manager Jill Ritzman. “Due to COVID protocols and challenges, the Recreation Department will be re-inventing programs to respond to the community’s current needs and desires. We think Kim is just the person to do so.” Vickers said her passion for recreation began as a child when she fell in love with swimming and pursued her love of water, becoming a lifeguard. In 2008 she graduated from San Jose State University, receiving her degree in recreation therapy. After working in the mental health field for seven years she took a year off to care for her daughter, Aleigha, but Vickers said the recreational side was calling her. She took a job as a swim coach at the Auburn Parks and Rec Department and then took a position as the recreation coordinator in Rio Linda before joining the Cameron Park CSD. Vickers said she hopes to add a sense of inclusion to the community and looks forward to having events and recreational opportunities where everyone will feel welcome. “I want to create a space where everyone feels safe and has access to the recreation that they would like to do and participate in a way they feel comfortable,” she shared. Vickers said she also hopes to be a recognized face

rank Vilt was just minding his own business, being one of the most prolific bakers in El Dorado County, when he received an Instagram message from a producer for “one of the bigger networks out there.” They asked if he’d be interested in talking to them about participating in a new baking contest show. His answer — a resounding yes. Vilt manages his own social media presence and the images that attracted the producers are as delectable as the products themselves. After talking to the producers Vilt was invited to compete on HBO Max’s new reality show, “Baketopia.” “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, It was intense down there,” said Vilt, adding that

it was very rewarding and an educational experience as well. “I had to bake vegan, so that was exciting.” That was something he hadn’t experimented with; he now has his time on the show to thank for the new product line in his Cameron Park bakery. One of eight kids, Vilt was already baking (and crocheting) by age 7, having been taught by his grandmother. He knew, even then, that his passion lay in the culinary arts. His first job in the industry was at Zachary Jacques in Diamond Springs. Later, when starting ■

wild, wild West. Before the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad over Donner Pass in 1868, the only transportation through the Sierra Nevada was by stagecoach driven by skilled and fearless men. One of the most famous drivers, or whips, was Charley Parkhurst who came west from New England in 1852 seeking his fortune in the Gold Rush and drove stages from Carson City to Placerville and Sacramento to Santa Cruz. Charley opened his own stage station in Soquel. He died on Dec. 29, 1879, at the age of 67. Except ... “he” was a “she.” The obituary published in the Sacramento Daily Bee a few days after death revealed that when friends came to prepare his body for burial, they discovered “Charley Parkhurst was unmistakably a welldeveloped woman!” Her real name was Charlotte Parkhurst, born in New Lebanon, N.H., in 1812. She ran away from an orphanage at the age of 15 and soon discovered that life in the working world was easier for men. She successfully disguised herself for the rest of her life. There’s one more twist to her story: Dressed as a man, she cast her first vote in a national election in 1868, becoming the first woman to vote in the United States, 52 years before Congress passed the 19th Amendment giving American women the right to vote. Her name, Charlotte Parkhurst, was the perfect choice for the new chapter’s name. If you have an interest in learning more about the Charlotte Parkhurst chapter of DAR and honoring and preserving the legacy of potential revolutionary ancestors in your family, promoting historic preservation, education and patriotic endeavors contact Carol Ann Nolan at canolandar@att.net or Stephanie Ratzburg at sratzburg@me.com.

his young family, he went to work at Raley’s in the bakery and deli and later spent several years as the food service manager. He decided to venture out on his own seven years ago and opened Frank Vilt’s Cakes in Cameron Park. Vilt admits that much like many small businesses in El Dorado County, and the nation, he was concerned about the hit his business took during the pandemic. Looking at a decline in sales for the first time in the seven years since he had opened his doors was daunting. A reduction of sales meant a reduction of staff and things looked pretty grim, Vilt shared. Winning the HBO Mac contest helped him keep the enterprise afloat and now that wedding season is, once again, here things look bright. The opportunity to participate in “Baketopia” was once in a lifetime for Vilt and he said he’s very happy for the experience. The trophy is proudly displayed on the front counter in his
storefront. Vilt appears on season 1, episode 8, “Herb Your Enthusiasm” where he wins the “Baketrophia” trophy and $10,000 cash prize. Vilt has a lot of local support for his endeavors and he is grateful for the community. “It’s exciting being in a small town,” said Vilt, talking about starting and running his business. “I feel like I was well taken care of by the community.” He has returned the favor through delicious donations to various nonprofit organizations including The Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters and local schools. “I am blessed to be in such a special community,” he said. “I’m essentially living the American Dream.” The Frank Vilt’s Cakes showroom, 4100 Cameron Park Drive, Suite 117, will soon be in full swing, offering tastings for this year’s wedding season.

Northern California community. One of her proudest accomplishments, Olson revealed, was the ability to get her RUSD open for in-person instruction early on during the pandemic. “I am extremely proud of our teachers and staff who worked hand in hand with us to make it happen. They were positive and determined to open safely and successfully,” she said. “Our board was committed to making sure our schools could open. Our parents worked tirelessly too, partnering with us as never before, supporting their children’s learning and also navigating life, work, being learning coaches and everything else they had going on throughout the year. “It was not easy for anyone,” she continued. “I can honestly say that had we even had one group who had not supported our endeavors and supported our commitment to the health and safety protocols, it would not have worked. We have a district full of devoted, dedicated individuals who care about kids. That means the world to me.” Come July, Olson will join her family in Colorado and said she looks forward to traveling and spending time in the outdoors doing what she loves — hiking, cross country skiing and paddle
boarding. She said she also plans to spend a good amount of time volunteering and will continue to teach administrative courses. In a letter she addressed to parents in her district announcing her retirement, she wrote that she will work with El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala in the recruitment for her replacement. “I have been honored and privileged to serve in Rescue. It is a very special place,” Olson shared. “Cheryl has been such an asset to our district. She is the hardest worker I know and her collaborative leadership style, along with her accessibility and kindness, quickly won the trust of our staff, parents and community members,” Rescue Union School District Board member Kim White told Village Life. “She successfully led us through very challenging times and will be greatly missed.” RUSD includes two middle schools and five elementary schools serving about 3,500 students in El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Rescue and Shingle Springs. The district employs more than 200 certificated and administrative staff as well as about 230 classified and support staff.

A dentistry that aims to be a home away from home
Jessica Cyphers Staff writer
F
or patients of Dale Stanec, Jr., DDS, going to the dentist feels a little like going home.
“We know all of our patients. They’re our friends,” said Dr. Stanec, who works alongside his wife and office manager, Elena, in his Cameron Park office. “The experience in our office is very personal. We’re very small and greet each patient by name when they walk in. It’s a comfortable, homey place to have dental work done, and we like it that way.” Dr. Stanec has been in dentistry in the Cameron Park area since 2002. As a kid, he was “always into science and math” and loved the idea of owning his own business. “I ran a lawn-mowing business as a kid — always had some kind of business going — so becoming a dentist and owning my own practice just made sense,” said Dr. Stanec. Dr. Stanec did his undergraduate work at Cal Poly,
San Luis Obispo and then attended dental school at Northwestern University in Chicago. He graduated from Northwestern in 2001 and says that, although he was born and raised in San Jose, it was a natural draw to open his practice in the foothills. “Elena and I love this area. We had a lot of family and friends here and thought it would be a great place to raise our kids.”
In his office, Dr. Stanec offers a full scope of general and cosmetic dentistry with expertise ranging from porcelain veneers and dental implants to crowns and bridges and more. Unlike many other dentists, Dr. Stanec doesn’t employ dental hygienists or other technicians but does all of his dental work himself. “I spend a lot of one-on-one time with my patients. It’s fun for me to do the work myself because I get to spend more time with my patients and hang out with them and really get to know them. It makes it fun to do what I do,” said Dr. Stanec.
Another advantage of keeping his practice small is that, because he sees every patient one at a time, Dr. Stanec can be very thorough and immediately answer any questions that come up. He is also able to really respect his patients’ time. “I am almost always early or on time,” said Dr. Stanec. “My patients know that, so they’re usually early or on time for their appointments, too. It’s a win win for everyone.” Dr. Stanec is located at 3955 Cameron Park Drive — in Cameron Park. His office is right near the Goldorado Shopping Center, directly across from the new Walgreens on Palmer Drive, and is very conveniently located for all of his patients. The move is just one more way Dr. Stanec shows his commitment to providing the best possible care for his patients.
“I look forward to going to work and getting to see who’s on the schedule every day,” said Dr. Stanec.
Dale III, Dr. Stanec, Luis, and Elena Stanec
“I love the work that I do and am proud to do really quality work. Originally I’d planned to be a little bigger, but then I realized I liked it this way. I really enjoy my patients and
this way I can get to know them well.” For more information or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Stanec, visit drstanec.com or call 530-676-6500.

LOVELY LUPIN
Got Surplus Food? We’ll Take It!!
Photos by Cecilia Clark
Acres of blooming lupin have turned drought-dropped shores of Folsom Lake picturesque purple this spring. The sight is drawing all sorts of visitors to the lake’s Rattlesnake Bar Road area, including a pair of photographers on vacation, below, Laurel Perkins of Queen Creek, Ariz., and Rachel Ross of Banff, Canada.

around Cameron Park, explaining, “I want the people to know us as part of the community and have faith in the district. Play and recreation creates an opportunity to forge bonds. I want to go back to the roots and offer programs the community is interested in.” She also plans to keep the community of Cameron Park in the loop about where their dollars are spent. “I would like them to feel that their feedback doesn’t fall on deaf ears and at times we can adjust certain things or acknowledge why we are doing things in a certain way,” Vickers shared. Vickers is now focused on getting the
summer events back on track after the shutdown last year. “Summer camp registration is open and the pool will be operating recreational swimming, lessons and lap swims,” she said, encouraging residents to check the CPCSD website for new events and asking everyone for a bit of patience while she gets everything up and running. In her spare time, Vickers likes watching movies with her now 6-year-old daughter, trying new food and restaurants with friends, reading and binge watching “Grey’s Anatomy.” For more information on events and the CPCSD visit cameronpark.org.

He calmly says “congratulations we got this.” Jason and his team worked tirelessly to ensure we met each and every deadline (I feel like we fought a war together) sure enough 21 days and were funded.

GROW FOR IT! looming. Prevention is key and by taking some simple precautions, serious illness and death can be prevented. Every year there are heat-related deaths in California and if you are an employer, you may be subject to regulatory requirements per the California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 3395. Even if you are a home gardener, many of the regulatory requirements are just common sense and good practice for spending time outdoors
Hot times ahead: Heat illness prevention
S
CATHIE MANKINS UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County
pring has sprung and we are all ready to get our spades and shovels deep into our garden soil. Whether your passion is vegetables, ornamentals or just enjoying our beautiful environment, nature is calling us. But with nature’s call we need to be prepared. Our summer heat is
in hot weather. There are some things to know while working outside or in hot surroundings. First, know the heat illness disorders and symptoms so you can recognize them and know the treatments. For all suspected heat illness disorders, remove the victim from the hot area to a cool location, if safe to do so. Heat illness disorders in order of increasing health risk severity are: • Heat rash — Skin rash may occur in hot

and humid environments when your sweat does not evaporate. The rash may be itchy and include small red bumps. Treatment is to wash and dry the skin and wear loose clothing. • Heat cramps — Muscle cramps may occur in the large muscle groups of the legs, arms and/or abdomen, resulting from the loss of salts and electrolytes from sweating. To treat, rest in a shaded and cool area and drink cool water. Do not drink caffeinated beverages, including energy drinks, as these promote further dehydration. Monitor the symptoms and seek medical care if symptoms worsen. • Heat syncope (fainting) — Fainting may result from heat exposure and blood pooling in the lower extremities of the body. The treatment is the same as for heat cramps. • Heat exhaustion— Characterized by profuse sweating, leading to dehydration, fatigue, dizziness and nausea, heat exhaustion can cause an elevated body temperature. This can progress to the medical emergency of heat stroke. The treatment is the same as for heat cramps. • Heat stroke — The body has stopped sweating causing high body temperature. This is a medical emergency requiring the immediate activation of 911. The victim may experience mental confusion, fainting or seizures. Treatment is to call 911 immediately and soak the victim’s clothing with cool water and fan victim to promote cooling of their body. So now you know what to look for and what to do. Here are some tips for prevention. With a sudden onset of high temperatures, it generally takes time for the body to acclimate. Don’t be tempted to overdo it. Rest when you need to. Monitor yourself and others. Not everyone handles heat in the same way. Medication can impact a person’s heat tolerance.
Stay hydrated by sipping cool water at least every 15 minutes in high heat. Drink at least one quart of water per hour. Use a shade structure over the area you’re working in if possible. The shade of a building or large leafy trees provides cooler shade than a pop-up structure placed under direct sun. Perform your outside gardening activities in the cooler temperatures of the morning or limit how much time you’re outdoors. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and light-weight, light-colored, loosefitting, long-sleeved clothing. Happy summer. Have fun and stay safe at home, work and play. Due to the pandemic, Master Gardener events will for the foreseeable future continue to be limited.

state. Gone are the days of thinking of childcare as strictly a “family” concern, where parents are solely responsible. With a workforce that is approximately one-third working parents, the success of the economy has been and continues to be dependent on parents having safe and quality childcare options. This need for quality, reliable and local childcare options for families in the community has been on the mind of those serving on the El Dorado County Early Care and Education Child Care Planning Council. In February 2020, the

Are you an employer who would like to know more about how to create a stable workforce through childcare? Are you a parent who needs support identifying care for your child? Are you interested in becoming a provider? What do you know about the state of childcare in our county during the coronavirus pandemic? When school districts shifted to remote learning, many childcare providers stayed open. Wading through a sea of dizzying regulatory changes, providers were able to be a beacon of stability and resilience. Those who were forced to close highlighted the already drastic need for affordable, accessible and high quality childcare programs throughout the
council took on the goal of surveying the childcare needs of parents and families in El Dorado County — distributing surveys to major employers such as county agencies, county offices of education and smaller businesses. Members looked to understand the issue of childcare instability from both the employer’s and the employee’s perspective; 119 employers and 503 employees responded. Both groups indicated that childcare was a barrier for the workforce, with many employees ■

who responded highlighting that they often missed work, arrived late or have to leave early due to childcare concerns. The council used this data, in combination with real-time information highlighting the compounding effects of the pandemic’s influence on local childcare capacity, to present to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors three main recommendations. 1) Include Child Care Planning Council representatives in Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee meetings. 2) Allow fast-tracking permitting and zoning applications to accommodate applications for new childcare programs, as well as those looking to expand. 3) Reduce or eliminate fees tied to expansion applications for childcare providers. In addition to supporting increasing the number of providers in our commu-
nity, the Child Care Planning Council is dedicated to growing the knowledge and agency of those providers who are already in the field. Working in tandem with quality programs such as Quality Counts El Dorado and the local Resource and Referral Agency Catalyst Community, the council is helping to impact positive change within the community. Everyone benefits from childcare providers who are better informed, supported and advocated for at the local and state-wide level. No matter where you fit into the childcare equation, the council invites you to reach out — whether to find out more about care for young children, becoming a provider or perhaps finding out more information about joining the Child Care Planning Council.

image, relationships, cultural diversity and breaking barriers. The county is emerging from COVID-19 restrictions, but this year’s LUNAFEST is virtual. The advantage to this: the films will be available for a full 48 hours, 11 a.m. May 6, to 11 a.m. May 8. Film lovers can enjoy the festival online in the comfort of home. Admission to the event is a donation to help women in our area. Online tickets are $25 general, $17 students (age 16-plus advised). To participate visit tinyurl.com/SICPEDH. Looking for something unique to give on Mother’s Day? A bonus virtual auction adds to the fun. To shop visit tinyurl.com/SICPEDauction. LUNAFEST is the club’s major fundraiser. It is a win-win for all.
Big Month of Giving Thursday, May 6, is the Sacramento region’s Big Day of Giving. This program of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation grows local philanthropy. The Big Day of Giving is an annual. 24-hour, communitywide movement that unites the region’s nonprofit sector to help raise unrestricted funds for the organizations that strengthen the capital area. Since 2013 the giving day has generated $52 mil-
lion for more than 600 local nonprofits. One of the challenges of writing a monthly arts column is to promote worthy causes on deadline. By the time you read these scribblings of mine, both LUNAFEST and the Big Day of Giving may be in the rearview mirror of your journey. However, the road we travel in this beautiful countryside continues to be filled with encounters with good people and worthy causes. Local visual and performing arts organizations and service groups give so much more to our lives than we realize. Not only do they add to our quality of life (and our real estate values), they promote optimism — a quality everyone can use more of in this world. So if there is an organization doing good work in your locality consider “tossing a few extra bucks into their hat” this month. Make it a “Big Month of Giving.” The charity will appreciate it and your donation will be leveraged to the hilt to bless your neighbors. It’s never too late to do the right thing, nor the kind thing. Thank you for being part of what makes El Dorado County a part of God’s Country. Genteel reader, you are the best! Send your event for consideration in Susan’s column to slaird@handywriting.com.

f you are a part of our El Dorado County community, I am sure you can feel an emerging sense of optimism, eagerness, and hopefulness in our region. While our economy is not yet to pre-pandemic status, established businesses are finding their voice, opening up, and thriving. Equally inspiring is an emergence of new businesses, which means growth to our region! These are all excellent economic indicators. Our Board of Directors has been working very diligently over the past four months to prepare for such a time as this. As businesses pivot out of a tiered system, our Chamber is the region’s biggest business advocate, sharing news of their events, their successes, and their current needs. The Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce has some exciting announcements! First, we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our first business mixer of 2021! All are welcome to join co-hosts Thiel Real Estate and Cielo Winery on May 20th from 5 pm – 7 pm at the beautiful Cielo Estate Winery, located at 3040 Ponderosa Rd, Shingle Springs, CA. Join us for a glass of red – or white – and charcuterie appetizers as we welcome one of the Chamber’s newest members! Welcome to the Chamber, Cielo! Additionally, after conducting our member survey – we listened! We are excited to announce that we will be transitioning our monthly networking meeting to breakfast at the gorgeous Cameron Park County Club! This beautiful establishment will provide a stunning venue at which we can dine together, network, share stories of the past 12 months, and unite as have not been able to do in so long! Our first networking event of 2021 will be held Wednesday, May 26th, and will feature Paul Gilchrest with the Greater Cameron Park Area Fire Safe Council. Contact our office today to reserve your spot for this highly anticipated event! And, finally, for those car enthusiasts, we are actively working on our annual Thunder in the Park Car Show! More information to come on this eagerly anticipated event! But, in case you missed it…. Last week, the Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce had the distinct pleasure of inviting the community to our very first ribbon cutting in 2021!

Friends, family, and chamber members all joined us at the newest dining establishment in Cameron Park – Tres Calaveras. We were not expecting such an outpouring of support and we were thrilled to celebrate with the Tres Calaveras family! Our last Zoom luncheon of 2021 featured Suzy O’Neal with Edward Jones Investments. Suzy presented a slide presentation on current economic trends and strategies for both the individual and the local business owner. Did you miss it? No worries, as this video presentation was featured on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook. com/SSCPChamber. You can check it out there! As a member of UCAN, the United Chamber Advocacy Network, we were also very interested to share the results of their survey, which indicates that while over 50% of local businesses reduced workforces during the pandemic, more than 78% of responding businesses are now hiring! If you are hiring, we would like to share it to our membership via our bimonthly newsletter. Contact our offices today or email us at membership@sscpchamber. org with your job announcements. We will continue to be a strong and vocal voice for our business communities in the El Dorado region. The “WE WILL!” movement continues to thrive, and we are blessed by a community that has engaged in this movement to unite in our support of local businesses and their communities. If there is a way in which we may serve you, your business, or our shared community better, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
