Parker’s added proposals not really new Sel Richard Staff writer Parker Development’s proposed project of 1,000 units along El Dorado Hills Boulevard was, for the fourth time, the main topic at the El Dorado County Planning Commission meeting. Serrano Associates Director of Government Relations Kirk Bone on May 27 presented the second recirculated draft environmental impact report for the Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. The amended report now contains vehicle miles traveled data, a recently implemented traffic evaluation and two new alternatives for the unused land that was once a golf course — an option for land use pursuant to current zoning and a 1,200-unit senior living facility. The project as it stands hinges on a county General Plan amendment to allow the rezone of the defunct golf course from recreational facilities-high intensity to residential. In 2015 more than 91% of El Dorado Hills voters advised against a zoning amendment. Four years later nearly 500 residents turned out to protest the project at a public hearing held at District Church in January 2020. Last week Bone made it clear the new alternatives are merely a response to commission requests. “We’re not proposing any changes to the project. We just had four or five boxes we needed to check,” he stated, adding that the senior living option would likely require a new California Environmental Quality Act document that would put the project back to square one. “We would prefer a project that looks kind of like the proposed project that can utilize the existing CEQA documents.” Substantial discussion focused on vehicle miles traveled, a metric that shifts from the traditional measure of impacts on drivers to measuring the impact of driving. “This project is in a place where the facilities are there to promote shorter trips to stores and offices, which is why the (vehicle miles traveled) results came out the way that they did,” explained El Dorado County Senior Traffic Engineer Natalie Porter. Neither the vehicle miles traveled analysis nor the

Eagles celebrated at long overdue Court of Honor Special to Village Life
B
oy Scout Troop 193 recently hosted a Court of Honor at Holy Trinity in El Dorado Hills, celebrating the achievements of three exceptional Eagle Scouts. Family, friends, Boy Scout leaders and El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini attended the first in-person Court of Honor in more than a year. Robbie Deitz III started his scouting career near his home in Coloma with Pack 86, which met at Sutter School. He started a little late; his first rank was Lion. During his time in Cubs he attended two Scout Expos at Beale Air Force Base, participated in the annual Nature Bowl competition and earned the Cubs’ highest honor — Arrow of Light. After bridging out he joined Scout Troop 117 in Cameron Park with two of his other den mates. After a year he switched troops to 193. During his tenure with both troops he attended every campout and summer camp. His summer camps included Royaneh, Wente, Winton, Meriwether in Oregon, Emerald Bay in Catalina Island and Winter Camp at Marin Sierra. His visited Yosemite four times with Scouts, Sequoia National Park three times, Scout Expo three more times and attended every Scout Jamboree at Sly Park ■

CRIB NOTES by Julie Samrick
Words, words, words
I
am the person who adds a smiley face emoji, a thumbs up or a heart at the end of a text. Sometimes if I’m really excited about something, I use all three. If my kids say something, I tell them that their generation doesn’t own the market on this new mode of communication. Emojis are helpful to all of us in this new age of speaking to one another because when a person’s true intent can get lost in translation, emojis are the perfect antidote. Even something as innocuous as “yes!” can be interpreted in different ways without context. For instance, answering “will you be here soon?” with a “yes!” could be seen as yelling, especially with the exclamation point. A thumbs up could be all that’s needed to get the point across. This is why I have told my kids that the first line of defense against miscommunication is to pick up a phone and call instead of texting, but since they look at me like I’m from another planet I’ve learned that emojis are better than nothing. My 13-year-old thinks my use of emojis is funny. She thinks I’m too literal with them. Like a native language speaker, she finds it difficult to explain how I’m misusing them; it’s just something she inherently knows. At times when I ask her what an alternative emoji would be, I disagree with her choices of them. Since she believes teens own the market on texting and emojis, I remind her that emojis are for all of us to enjoy. In fact, smartphone technology came out in 2008, the year she was born. These conversations set me on a quest to understand some of the nuances behind our new texting language. I get why all capital letters comes across as yelling at someone, but apparently there are people who even see periods at the end of sentences as passive aggressive. Who knew? There are modern terms I am happy to relinquish to younger generations. The latest word I’m trying
to understand is “ship,” or “shipping,” which means you’d like to see two people as a couple. I envisioned “The Love Boat” the first time I heard it, asking my daughter, “Is it like shipping them out to sea together?” She thought I was trying to be funny and smiled, saying it was hard to explain. When my mom was in elementary school, she and her best friend created their own word, gorky, which was a staple family word of my childhood. Like my daughter, I implicitly understood what it meant from hearing it in context so often but I found it hard to define to outsiders when they heard us use it. It is both a noun and an adjective. Sometimes it is shortened to a simple verb, gork. The best way to define gorky is when someone says or does something that gives you chills, but not in the scary way of feeling a shudder or in the warm way of getting goosebumps. Gorky can be an exclamation too. A simple gork! meant that you did something to give the people around you chills. To hear it was, and still is, quite humbling. In the last year or so I have finally come up with the best synonym for gorky, thanks to my kids’ generation, and I wish I could share this new discovery with my mom. It’s cringe or cringy, though that can be mean and gorky is always playful. It’s that feeling of getting chills, and not when you’re scared or feel like your heart is exploding. It’s that funny awkwardness that strikes sometimes; we could be the cause of it or witness to it. When something deemed gorky or cringy strikes, I look side to side for someone to share the funny moment with and, if I’m alone, even with the plethora of great emojis to choose from, I find it’s probably best to call instead.

KILEY’S CORNER by Kevin Kiley
We can do better
G
ov. Gavin Newsom has been touring the state to promote his “California Comeback Plan.” It’s a $100 billion economic recovery package, which he calls the largest in state history. That’s nothing to boast about. Other states don’t need historic comeback plans. They have been “back” for some time. Florida, which long ago ended COVID-19 restrictions, continues to vastly outperform California by any measure: education, the economy and public health. Across our state, anyone who walks around their community can’t help but notice the restaurants and storefronts that have shuttered their doors permanently over the past year. A third of our restaurants permanently closed and two-thirds of workers were displaced, according to a recent report. California is undoubtedly in need of a recovery. Yet a true recovery is not what the governor has in mind. In January he forecast that unemployment would remain at a dismal 8.5% for the year and that jobs would not recover to “prepandemic” levels until 2025. Even with his $100 billion package, the governor says we will need to wait until mid2023 for a full recovery. There is a better path forward. Even with the incalculable costs of Gov. Newsom’s harshest-inthe-nation lockdowns, we can bring about a swift economic recovery simply by changing counterproductive policies. One way California can immediately help jumpstart our economy is by removing disincentives to work. A recent survey of small businesses in our community found that nearly 80% of local employers are hav-

recently added alternatives resulted in any revision to the conclusions of the original environmental report. Planning Commission Chair Jon Vegna pointed out that certain facilities mentioned in the recirculated draft environmental impact report, namely hotels and general merchandise sales, would require a conditional use permit subject to a public hearing if they did not fall under the recreational facilities use. Resident John Richard also indicated the report fails to clarify that those uses are only allowed if they are in support of recreational activities on the property. He further referred to rumors of a possible Top Golf establishment, noting that Top Golf’s standard net is 150 feet tall and far exceeds the zone’s 35-foot height limit. Nine-year resident and local business owner John Simpson would like to see such a recreational facility. “I am in strong support of a Top Golf or something similar that brings a strong anchor to the EDH area,” he said. “It lacks the entertainment and restaurant variety to
promote the growth that is necessary to attract appropriate talent and visitors for larger businesses to consider coming and staying in EDH.” Serrano resident Richard Haugh came out in favor of the project, opposing the extension of Boundary Oaks and placing housing atop the hill as outlined in the zoning-consistent alternative. Although Bone claimed negotiations with the El Dorado Hills Community Services District failed to gain traction, EDHCSD Board President Noelle Mattock reiterated the board’s interest in the crux of the rezoning controversy. “The CSD is prepared to reconsider reacquisition,” she insisted. “This developer continues to dismiss the very real concerns of the community and refuses to work collaboratively with the community to create a project we can support.” No formal action was taken by the commission as the project is currently in a 45-day public review period scheduled to end June 14. The final recommendation hearing is as yet unscheduled.

held during his years in Scouts — volunteering to help his last three years as an Order of the Arrow chapter member, which he was voted into at Troop 193. He also achieved the scouting religious award for the Lutheran Faith from his Church Light of the Hills in Cameron Park. A active volunteer in scouting, Robbie helped all his troops collect food for the hungry campaigns and volunteered during the American River clean up, with the El Dorado Trail biking group trail maintenance work crews and at the annual Cal Expo Scouting exhibit (usually for the climbing wall). He also participated in every Memorial and Veterans Day ceremony at the El Dorado Veterans Monument during each year he was in Cubs and Scouts. As a Cub, he helped place flags on veterans’ graves around the county for Memorial Day and helped his dad run the air rifle range at Cub Day Camp at Sly Park Lake. Robbie achieved his Eagle Scout rank in July 2019, including 3 Palms. His Eagle Project was installing a steel fence around his church’s community playground to help keep animals out and kids in. Cody Bickel joined scouting as a Bear Cub with Pack 63 in Belmont and in his first year of Webelos earned the Arrow of Light Honor before bridging into Troop 193 at Holy Trinity. Cody is one of two remaining original members of the Anime Ninjas Patrol. With the help of Patrol Guide John Robb, Cody quickly earned his 1st class rank and by age 13 had advanced to Life Scout with the rank of Eagle squarely in his sights. BSA summer camps in the Santa Cruz mountains, Oregon Coast, Sierra Nevada, Butte Meadows and even West Virginia to attend the National Jamboree, have been the backdrop for many merit badge classes and lifetime memories. Cody is a three-time winner of the Red Bear Claw award at Winton for his advanced marksmanship skills, a feat not easily accomplished. He went on to become part of the Winton staff as a camp counselor and was selected as camp chaplain, where he led the religious services. Cody graduated BSA’s National Youth Leadership Training program, has earned the catholic Ad Altare Dei Religious Emblem award and was honored to be elected into the Order of the Arrow, scouting’s national honor society. Cody has held the ranks of assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, senior patrol leader and quartermaster for the troop.
Cody’s idea for an Eagle project came from his love of music and desire to serve. While serving as guitarist in the youth band at Mass, the nonprofit organization Haiti180 came to Holy Trinity and spoke about its mission to serve the people of Haiti. With that, the idea to organize a benefit rock concert with a dinner, raffle and auction was born. Cody recruited two performers, two rock bands and invited Haiti180 Executive Director Sean Forrest to perform at the concert. He then solicited and received numerous donations from businesses throughout El Dorado County. On the day of the event PG&E initiated a rolling blackout and all power was shut off just moments before the show was about to begin. Faced with adversity, Cody pulled friends and resources together. With generators, shop lights and candles, the show went on as scheduled raising more than $17,000, which was used by Haiti180 to build an orphanage for homeless teens. Ryan McCoy began his scouting career in first grade as a Tiger Scout in Pack 94 based in Folsom. He quickly made friends with his den and went to as many pack meetings and outings as he could. He earned his Arrow of Light and bridged to Troop 193 in 2014. He bridged alone and remained that way for about a year, but eventually three other boys, including Cody, joined him. Together with John Robb as their troop guide, they created the Anime Ninjas Patrol. He attended summer camps like Wente, Winton and Catalina Island, earning merit badges and meeting new friends. He said his favorite camping experience comes from Catalina Island, where he canoed around the island over the course of the week. In 2019 he volunteered to serve as the troop guide for the den of Webelos in Pack 193 and he is proud to say most of them continued onto Boy Scouts. For his Eagle Project, Ryan worked with his elementary school art teacher, Mrs. Penrose, and came up with the idea of building a scenic path through ivy at St. John Notre Dame School. He presented to the Knights of Columbus and the SJNDS leadership to request funding and began working on June 1, 2019, with the help of his troop and its past Eagle Scouts. Once the ivy was cleared, the bricks were laid and decomposed granite formed the path. The result was a safe, shaded path for schoolchildren to run along and a bench under the olive trees at the end.

EDH Chamber delivers four scholarships News release The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce recently awarded four scholarships of $750 each to local graduates who plan to continue their education at a university, college or technical school. This year the chamber received 18 impressive applications from highly qualified students. Two scholarships are funded by Pacific Interstate Insurance Brokers and El Dorado County Auditor-Controller Joe Harn. The other two scholarships are funded from the proceeds from the chamber’s first virtual silent auction. The Chamber looks forward to growing this sponsorship program in the future. The scholarships are judged by a committee of five business leaders from the community. It was a difficult task as all of the applicants were most deserving. The point system is based on the following criteria: 50% community service, 15% work experience, 15% extracur-
ricular activities, 10% scholastic GPA and 10% financial need. The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce congratulates the following 2021 scholarship recipients and wishes them continued success in their future endeavors: Amanda Immer, Logan Barth, Rithvik Murali and Victoria Kolanski — all from Oak Ridge High School. “It is such an honor to be able to bring a little support to these four El Dorado Hills students. We understand that they are our future, and we want to help them succeed and continue their education. Our hope is that after graduation they will move back to El Dorado Hills to live and hopefully are lucky enough to work here too,” said Debbie Manning, El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce president & CEO. Donations to the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund for the Class of 2022 can be made to chamber@eldoradohillschamber.org.

Gold Country Lodge No. 2705 Order Sons & Daughters of Italy in America President Jim Silveira poses with scholarship winners Jessica Weisser, Sofia Acosta and Chelsea Mullens as well as the lodge’s scholarship chair Joanne Hyman, left to right.
Local grads get Italian grazie News release The Gold Country Lodge No. 2705 Order Sons & Daughters of Italy in America founded in 1996, of the state national organization founded in 1905, awarded three scholarships at the May 28 dinner in El Dorado Hills. For 21 years members have recognized graduating high school seniors attending El Dorado Union High School District and recently FolsomCordova Unified School District. Sofia Acosta was awarded a $250 scholarship for academic achievement for the four-year Italian Language Program. Teacher Ivana Arostegui said Sofia is “highly motivated, an excellent student as well as the co-president of the Societa Onoraria Italica.” This societa promotes the school Italian Club, provides tutoring in Italian and shares culture and holiday traditions. Sofia has been a member of the ORHS band for four years. She participates with the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Drum Line and Marching Band, playing the alto sax. She also belongs to the Interact Club, a youth group for Rotary International. Sofia plans to major in human biology/pre-med with a specialty in pediatric dermatology at University of California San Diego. Chelsea Mullens from El Dorado High School and Jessica Weisser from Oak Ridge High School were awarded $500 scholarships for scoring high in a variety of categories such as scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities and work experience. Included in their applications are required essays for university major/career plans and Italian heritage. Chelsea is an honor roll student, active in competitive softball and enjoys surfing, waterskiing, hiking, camping and her work as an office assistant for Placerville Dental Group. She has supported her community through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the Cade
Strong Organization that raises funds to support special needs students, the American Legion and the Placerville Girls Softball Association as a volunteer coach and umpire. She plans to be a nursing major at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, to continue her “passion to spread positivity to others.” Her Italian heritage essay covered four generations with details about their work and assimilation into the American culture, including historical events in San Francisco. Her Italian heritage essay was a compilation of information collected by her grandmother. Jessica has received the Sportsmanship Award for the El Dorado Hills Swim Team and the TAZARIAN Award given to one girl and one boy who are strong assets and role models to the teams. She has also been active in high school and community competitive teams including ORHS swimming, water polo and lacrosse. Community service includes the National Charity League, a mother daughter organization. She has also volunteered with Foothill Dog Rescue, Special Olympics, Hands4Hope, Blue Star Moms, the Upper Room as well as the local food bank and senior center. Pre-COVID she was a classroom volunteer at Jackson Elementary. As an active member of El Dorado Hills Taz swim team for 12 years, she eventually became a coach to support growth in her students’ techniques and to supervise practice. She plans to follow her passion for “teaching from the heart” for K-3 students and will attend California State University, Chico, which is her parents’ alma mater. Her Italian heritage essay was filled with memories of pre and post immigration events, work and family traditions.

High-tech basketball training comes to EDH Sel Richard Staff writer
I
magine a 6-foot-tall screen popping with targets to hone your basketball handling skills. A virtual trainer takes you through a workout after which maybe you play a pickup game with a fellow trainee across the country in Pennsylvania. Science fiction? Nope. It’s the latest gym in the El Dorado Hills Business Park. Shoot 360, opened this April, is Ray and Julie McKee’s new basketball training facility. It combines cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned human expertise to bring a unique edge to those looking to up their hoops game. A one of its kind in the area, Shoot 360 offers what Ray calls “gamified basketball training.” With a bank of shooting stations across one wall and skills stations across another flanking a full court, members play both live and digital games on the interactive equipment, improving skills while inadvertently having a great time. Skills station users can choose from 350 different drills categorized by skill and age. “Not only are they working on their basketball skills, it’s hand-eye coordination and decision making, not just ball handling,” Ray pointed out. At the shooting stations, shots are tracked, measured, recorded and sent via email and an app. “They’re able to
Athletes compete on the court at Shoot 360, a basketball training center in El Dorado Hills. see week after week that their stats are getting better and better,” said Ray, explaining that each shot is measured by arc of entry, depth and straightness with both visual and audio real-time feedback allowing users to make adjustments from shot to shot. But it’s not merely the techie gadgetry that has Shoot 360 drawing players from all over the region. Trainers are on hand daily to help and guide members, boasting talent such as Naaman Hightower, who played
professionally in Australia and Armenia, as well as All-Conference and Concordia University Irvine player Andre Green and Division 1 player Bria Shine. You might even find Ray himself coaching on the court between administrative duties. “It’s been great seeing the kids who come in regularly, seeing their shooting percentages improve,” he said. “That’s always been a focus — to make sure kids are having a good time because when they enjoy it they become
self-motivated to want to do more.” It is Ray’s love of coaching that ultimately led to this recent venture. As a child, his affinity for the game ran deep. “I’d go to the park every day, draft all the neighborhood friends,” shared Ray. “Now it’s something I do regularly to stay in shape.” Upon moving to EDH in 2009, Ray began coaching his second-grade son Isaiah through the local CSD league. Once the regular season ended, however, Ray and his young team

were left wanting more. “So rather than sit and wait for a whole year, we decided to get all those kids together and start a little club team.” Within three years, seven kids in the McKee’s backyard exploded into 15 teams. Now his Back Court Madness basketball club fields third grade through high school varsity teams playing competitively in the Sacramento region. Eventually, the difficulties of finding space, coordinating practice times and the unavailability of school gyms
during summer, weekend and holidays got him thinking. With the Shoot 360 franchise’s exclusive blend of technology, data analytics and gaming concepts, Ray was sold. “It takes it up to a whole other level that I never could have done alone,” he insisted. The McKees hope to soon host games and tournaments and someday expand beyond El Dorado Hills into the greater Sacramento region. There are currently fifteen Shoot 360 locations across the country, the only other California locations in Walnut Creek and Torrance. A San Francisco location houses the Golden State Warriors’ practice facility. The gym welcomes both individuals as well as teams and clubs. “It’s open to everyone; anyone can come here and train,” said Julie. “We have plenty of adults who just love basketball and it’s their way of getting a workout.” Yearly, quarterly or monthly fees afford members daily access to the gym, training and fitness classes and full court competitions. Teams and clubs can rent gym time or schedule time with trainers. Personal training sessions or court reservations are also offered at a drop-in rate. Birthday party packages are available. Summer camps start June 28, July 12 & 26. For more information visit shoot360sac.com.

In a year of unknowns, Tumble Time Gymnastics competitive gymnasts thrived in the new National Gymnastics Association. In its first year as members of the National Gymnastics Association, Tumble Time was able to compete virtually against gyms all over the country when local events were canceled. Later in the season the team was able to do some competitions in person and the athletes really excelled. “I saw that the gymnasts were really enjoying themselves at each meet this year, which in turn made them more confident,” Tumble Time head coach Haylee Brown said. “The judges were open and talked to us after events to help us know what to improve on and every meet we saw improvement. The head office in Indianapolis was always helpful when we would need to figure out

Many of the board directors, and others that are in charge of this new organization, are the people I have looked up to as men-

Latrobe Superintendent/Principal Miller retiring Dina Gentry ECD Office of Education After working in El Dorado County for the past 24 years, Natalie Miller has announced her plans to retire at the end of this school year. “Natalie is an exceptional leader. Students, families, and educators have benefited from her loyalty, expertise and unwavering care throughout her entire career,” said El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala. “Her remarkable and bold professionalism have been on full display this past year. While she will be greatly missed, we are filled with gratitude for her contribution to the educational profession.” Miller came to El Dorado County in 1997 when her husband Andrew Headden took the associate pastor position at the El Dorado County Federated Church on Thompson Way in Placerville. Headden started his tenure at Federated Church in January 1997. In June 1997 Miller was offered a second-grade teaching position at Sierra Elementary School on Thompson Way just across the street from the church. She spent five years in the classroom at Sierra teaching second grade and a second/third-grade multiage class until she moved into the principal’s office in 2002. Twelve years later Miller took the superintendent/principal position for the Latrobe School District. The couple liked to joke that they had the top of Thompson Way covered for seventeen years. The school and the church did collaborate on several different endeavors, including the Little
Backpack Program still in place today. Once a month church members fill backpacks for families that may need a little help at the end of the month. “I have enjoyed working with topnotch educators and support staff over the years. I have also enjoyed working with administrators around the county,” Miller said. “Over the past 15 months the support of the El Dorado County Office of Education and county superintendents has been key to the successful opening of Latrobe schools in August.” Miller said she is most proud of the National Blue Ribbon award Sierra won in 2009. “That award was such a boost to our school community and a welldeserved recognition of the outstanding education that students were receiving at Sierra,” she shared, adding that she’s also very proud of the Latrobe staff and community. Working together, staff was able to open classroom doors on Aug. 17, 2020, for in-person learning for all students. “It was a heroic effort by every member of the Latrobe team and I am extremely proud of our accomplishments.” Miller joins her husband in retirement. The couple will remain a presence in the community. They have plans to travel to the East Coast and the United Kingdom to visit family. They will also spend time on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a favorite place. Miller and Headden said they are grateful for the opportunities that they have had in El Dorado County. “It has been our pleasure to serve this wonderful community.”

Assessor’s Office assisting commercial property owners “The pandemic has significantly impacted business revenues, costs and the value of property used for business,” said Weiland. “Recognizing the loss in value is the whole purpose of Prop. 8.” Given the economics of the pandemic and especially the impact on small businesses, both the assessor and the CAA have acknowledged that the economic impacts translate to a potential decline in value in business equipment for many trades. “Based on industry data, as well as labor statistics from 2020, value reductions will be applied to nearly half of the county’s business and vacation home rental assessments for the Jan. 1, 2021 lien date,” Weiland said. “These value reductions will be reflected on the tax bills that are sent out between July and October of this year.” Businesses can request an assessed value detail report any time after July 2. This report will include line-
News release El Dorado County Assessor Karl Weiland recently announced his office is applying reductions to the assessed values of many businesses to recognize the economic impacts to certain industries resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Proposition 13 real property is required to be assessed at the lower of the proposition’s trended value, or the fair market value (Proposition 8), as of the lien date Jan. 1. Business property does not fall under the Prop. 13 umbrella and is required to be assessed at the fair market value as of each lien date. The county follows assessment guidance provided by the California Assessors Association and develops business valuation factors in conjunction with publications developed by the California State Board of Equalization.
item detail on the assessed value calculations of the business property, including any value reductions applied as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These requests should be submitted in writing by the business owner or authorized agent and can be emailed to the business and personal property division at edcbps@ edcgov.us. Questions related specifically to the 2021 values of business assessments should be held until after roll close, as the values are not available until that time. County staff is working on processing thousands of 2021 property statements to meet this July 2 roll close deadline. Because of the heavy processing workload county staff is currently trying to minimize interruptions while still being responsive to all taxpayer concerns. For more information go to edcgov.us/assessor, call (530) 621-5716 or email to edcbps@edcgov.us.

Low Folsom Lake got you down? Michael Raffety Village Life correspondent Many El Dorado County residents have seen Folsom Lake’s very low water level. As of May 24 Folsom Lake was 368,040 acre-feet, reported Dan Corcoran, operations director for the El Dorado Irrigation District. A full reservoir would hold 977,000 acrefeet Despite this low level, Corcoran said Monday that EID will have 13,888 acre-feet available from Folsom Lake, while projected demand for 2021 is 7,900 acre-feet. Folsom Lake provides water for El Dorado Hills during the warm months, with a slight boost from the Gold Hill intertie, bringing water from treatment plants in Pollock Pines and Sly Park. In the winter the El Dorado Hills Water Treatment Plant is shut down for maintenance and water from those two higher elevation water plants provides gravityfed water to El Dorado Hills through the Gold Hill intertie. As a side note, EID’s territory includes 190 acres on the Folsom side of the county line in the area south of Folsom. There is no request for water service. The land is all range land and is not expected to begin grading until spring 2022, followed by installation

Because of the low water level, the boat ramp at Brown’s Ravine is the sole launching site open at Folsom Lake until the water elevation drops below 397 feet, revealing a lower water ramp in Granite Bay. Low water also prompted State Parks officials to restrict boats to a 5 mph speed limit due to underwater hazards. of underground utilities in fall 2022, EID officials believe. No hookups will happen until actual residential and commercial construction begins. EID’s four alpine reservoirs are in good shape. Silver Lake contained 8,138 acre-feet of water out of a maximum of

8,640 and as of May 24 was 1 foot from filling, with snow left to melt. Caples Lake is not expected to fill, but at 17,704 acre-feet May 24, it was at 80% of capacity. Echo Lake was spilling, but Lake Aloha in the Desolation Wilderness is not expected to spill,
Corcoran said. The importance of the high-altitude reservoirs is that they feed into the 22-mile El Dorado Canal via a diversion dam on the South Fork of the American River near Kyburz. From there some of this water is diverted through a tunnel into
Jenkinson Lake at Sly Park. May 24 Jenkinson Lake held 32,094 acrefeet of water. That lake needs about 25,000 acrefeet to ensure a two-year supply in case of a third dry year. About 3 cubic feet per second is released into Clear Creek, which will
eventually make it down to the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River to help provide water for the diversion that feeds into the Outingdale water system. If Outingdale runs short of water in the river or if the state curtails water diversions that don’t predate the formation of the State Water Resources Control Board, EID will have to truck water in. Water from Jenkinson Lake also feeds into the Gold Hill intertie to boost water available for El Dorado Hills. Jenkinson Lake overall provides 40% of the district’s water supply. Water that continues on through the canal past the diversion tunnel ends up in Forebay Reservoir and then feeds a 3-mile-long canal that brings water to a treatment plant in Pollock Pines that also feeds into the Gold Hill intertie. The 3-mile dirt ditch is being replaced by a pipeline under construction. Despite a second dry year, EID — with an integrated water system — has “supplies adequate to meet unrestricted customer demand within the contiguous system,” Corcoran said. He also said EID is “prepared to face a third dry year.”
Marshall cancer program recognized Brittany Garcia Marshall Medical Center Marshall Medical Center’s Cancer Program has been granted a three-year reaccreditation by the Commission on Cancer, a quality program of the American College of Surgeons.

Marshall’s medical oncology physicians are board certified in hematology and oncology and recommend individualized treatment plans for each patient with use of next generation sequencing based on up-to-date data, combined with a strong, patient-centered approach. When patients receive care at Marshall they also have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling and patient-centered
services. Marshall also maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the National Cancer Database, a joint program of the CoC and American Cancer Society. This nationwide oncology outcomes database is the largest clinical disease registry in the world. Data on all types of cancer are tracked and analyzed through the NCDB and used to explore trends in cancer care. CoC-accredited cancer centers, in turn, have access to information derived from this type of data analysis, which is used to create national, regional, and state benchmark reports. These reports help CoC facilities with their quality improvement efforts.
