There’s a new chief in town Jana Rossi Staff writer
T
he Cameron Park Fire Department recently welcomed a new fire chief, Dustin “Dusty” Martin. He replaces Chief Sherry Morantz who left at the end of May. Chief Martin is no stranger to Cameron Park or El Dorado County, having worked for the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit in 2006 and becoming a fire captain at Cal Fire’s El Dorado Station 43 in 2010. The “ever-changing environment” is what drew Martin to a career in firefighting, he shared with Village Life. Originally from Vacaville, he joined the Shasta Range Unit as a firefighter intern at Burney Station in 1999. His most recent assignment was at the McClellan Air Tanker Base, where he had worked on and off since the inception of the program in 2008; he took a permanent position there in 2018. Martin said he enjoys “the variety of the job, the critical thinking, solving and mitigating emergencies” but most important to the new fire chief is giving back to his community. “My ultimate goal is to continue on with the ■
JUSTICE FOR JANE
Murder suspect takes a deal Thomas Frey Staff writer Michael Green pleaded no contest to second-degree murder July 22 for the 1985 killing of Jane Anker Hylton — a crime once thought committed by another man, Ricky Davis, who undeservedly served 15 years in state prison. Green’s plea comes 37 MICHAEL GREEN years after Hylton’s death and two years after DNA evidence led authorities to the now 54-year-old man, who was arrested in Roseville in 2020. Hylton’s body was discovered at 2848 Stanford Lane in El Dorado Hills on July 7, 1985. At the time of the murder Green was 17 years old, according to Savannah Broddrick with the El Dorado County District Attorney’s office.

Cameron Park Rotary bicycle program keeps growing collaboration between Folsom Prison and the Toys for Tots initiative of giving new toys to needy children at Christmas. Le Pere, an advisor with the Ponderosa High School Interact Club, promoted the project to El Dorado County elementary schools and he received student recipient lists from teachers. Ponderosa students helped deliver the bikes and helmets and the project became so popular it was necessary to find additional partnerships to help with distribution. It has since expanded to a yearround operation that serves youth and adult residents in much of Northern California, including not only El Dorado County but also Alameda, Butte, Placer and Sacramento counties. Thanks to efforts of Cameron Park Rotarians, hundreds of bicycles and bicycle parts are now donated through-

or more than 15 years the Rotary Club of Cameron Park has given away bicycles and helmets to kids, homeless adults, fire victims — and now Ukrainian and Afghan refugees. The latest partnership with Lao Family Community Development and Bethany Slavic Missionary Church in Rancho Cordova helps newly arrived refugees find housing, employment and education (in their charter school), enabling them to become self-sufficient community members. The club’s bicycle giveaways — 6,000 bikes and counting — began with Rotarians Joe Ryan and Chuck Le Pere in 2007, when Ryan was club president and also served as a member of the California State Prison Citizen Advisory Committee and with the Hangtown Marine Corps League helping with Toys for Tots.

Residents brush up on fire safety Jana Rossi Staff writer The importance of creating defensible space throughout neighborhoods was a hot topic at the July 20 Cameron Park Community Services District Board of Directors meeting. Paul Gilchrest, chairman of the Greater Cameron Park Area Fire Safe Council, told the audience (inperson and virtual) that when entire communities band together, they can help reduce the risk of wildfires. He encouraged neighbors to create their own firewise communities and outlined three defensible space zones homeowners should take note of. Zone 0 — Non-Combustible and Ember-Resistant

Zone. This is the immediate area around a home, 0 to 5 feet, and considered to be the most critical. This zone should be free of dead weeds, plants, trees and shrubs. Debris should be removed from roofs, gutters, decks and porches to reduce the chance of flying embers and hardscape material, such as gravel, concrete and pavers should be added. Zone 1 — Lean, Clean and Green Zone. This area is 5 to 30 feet from the home. Dead vegetation should be removed, trees should be trimmed, branches kept to a minimum of 10 feet from other trees and wood piles should be relocated to Zone 2. There should be a separation between items that are at risk of catching ■

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.

Open seat on RUSD board News release After almost six years of service to students in the community, Rescue Union School District Board of Education member Tagg Neal resigned from his role. “Tagg has been an absolute pleasure to work with and Rescue USD is a much better place as a result of his commitment, involvement and leadership,” said Superintendent Jim Shoemake. “I wish him nothing but the best.” RUSD Board President Michael Gordon added, “It has been an honor and a privilege serving with Tagg. I know I speak for the entire board in saying that we are a better governance team and Rescue is a better district because of his service.” Longtime Board Member Nancy Brownell shared, “Tagg has been such a valuable and contributing member of our governance team. We will miss his insights and thoughtful questions, yet understand his decision to step away from the board to balance his family and professional priorities.”
The RUSD board voted to make a provisional appointment to fill this vacancy at a special board meeting July 19. The district’s board has successfully used the provisional appointment process in the past to fill vacancies rather than calling for a special mid-term election, at an estimated cost of more than $100,000. The provisional appointee would need to run and be elected in November 2024 to retain the seat. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and a registered voter residing within the boundaries of the Rescue Union School District. The RUSD boundaries can be viewed at schoolworksgis.com/Rescue/schoollocator. html. All interested parties are encouraged to review the qualifications and submit a provisional appointment packet available by contacting Christina Mason, the Rescue Union School District administrative assistant to the superintendent, at cmason@rescueusd.org or (530) 6774461. n

Bicycles out the year by community members and local organizations. Bikes are refurbished by Folsom Prison inmates utilizing supplies donated by the Rotary program. The program provides a win-win for everyone. Nothing goes to waste; even bicycles determined to be unsalvageable are sold to salvage yards for the metal and the money used to purchase safety helmets and other parts. Furthermore, the program gives inmates the opportunity to give back to their communities while learning skills that benefit them upon their release, not to mention the growth of their confidence and selfesteem. The program has promoted partnerships with a myriad of governmental
Continued from A1 departments and organizations, nonprofits and churches. Rotary regularly teams up with Waste Connections, social service agencies, welfare departments, parole/rehabilitation agencies, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Union Gospel Mission, Bayside Church, Volunteers of America, chambers of commerce, Folsom Moose and Kiwanis and veterans organizations. These groups are instrumental in helping to identify deserving children and adults needing a mode of transportation and also in helping with distribution of the bicycles. This year Cameron Park Rotary has already provided more than 250 bicycles and helmets to deserving youth and adults.

ands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference recently celebrated its incredible youth volunteers at the 11th annual Youth Recognition Event at Cameron Park Lake. During the event themed Ohana Means Family, youth volunteers were celebrated and recognized for their commitment and dedication to serving others. This is the first time since 2019 that youth were recognized in person for their hard work. Over the 2021-22 program year, Hands4Hope youth logged more than 9,500 service hours; organized and participated in 227 projects and outreaches; served 7,000 meals; collected and distributed 500-plus backpacks filled with school supplies to students in need; collected and distributed 10,700 pieces of warm clothing to struggling families and Caldor Fire victims; and raised more than $42,000 to support the mission of local agencies. During this celebration, Hands4Hope said goodbye to graduated seniors, many of whom started volunteering with Hands4Hope in elementary or middle school, and presented the prestigious President’s Volunteer Service Award to 38 individual youth.
Hands4Hope founder and Executive Director Jennifer Bassett, second from left, beams with pride standing next to Hands4Hope alumni Haley Lehtola, left, and the next generation of Hands4Hope leaders (and siblings), Anna and Jeffrey Hash. In addition, Hands4Hope presented two groups with the esteemed award. The Hands4Hope Youth Board was honored for its combined 2,721 service hours and the Marina Village Hands4Hope Club leadership team was also recognized because it was the first Hands4Hope team to all individually earn a President’s Volunteer Service Award. Hands4Hope staff, adult volunteers, and board members honored the hard work and dedication of youth attendees with either a bronze, silver, gold or platinum level service award. Additionally, the Hands4Hope Youth Board presented a check for $6,500 from its spring fundraiser Dine With

Additional stops signs in the pipeline for Serrano Parkway Sel Richard Staff writer All-way stop signs were tentatively approved for the Greenview Drive and Serrano Parkway intersection in El Dorado Hills at last month’s El Dorado County Traffic Advisory Committee meeting, pending finalization of fresh traffic studies and the cooperation of the Serrano HOA in mitigation of sight line issues. The intersection has been discussed for several years since a request was submitted by the HOA in 2018. According to El Dorado County Traffic Superintendent Darryl Brown, a previous study showed that traffic volume did meet warrants for an all-way stop. No collisions were logged, though several near misses have been observed by residents. Brown said he has since discovered that the Sangiovese Drive gate off Appian Way was under construction at the time of the original study, routing additional traffic to Greenview Drive. An updated count was conducted in April 2022, which subsequently returned traffic volume numbers too low to warrant an all-way stop. Although Serrano Parkway volume more than met the criteria, the Greenview Drive side street volume did not. However, two accidents have occurred this year and the threshold for an all-way stop is three accidents within a year. “We have two with six to seven months to go,” cautioned Brown, also noting that side street volume is relatively close to hitting volume thresholds. “From eastbound Serrano taking a left into

Left turns from eastbound Serrano Parkway onto Greenview Drive can prove tricky for drivers. As can left turns from green view onto Serrano Parkway. All-way stop signs might mitigate the problems. Greenview, this is where the problem lies.” Though the community has been asking for stop signs for over four years, DOT Deputy Director of Maintenance and Operations Brian Mullens pointed out that no action has been taken by the HOA. “It’s discouraging that we’ve recommended tree removal to the homeowners association to improve the sight distance of that intersection and that it’s been ignored,” he said. Additional traffic speed and volume brought on by the Safeway and increasing development off of Bass Lake Road was mentioned by Serrano HOA Assistant General Manager Heather Caskey. “We
strongly urge you to put this in before there is another collision,” she said, also agreeing to consider alterations to the center median. “We are certainly open to that discussion to take out the trees.” El Dorado County Director of Transportation Rafael Martinez warned of the unintended consequences of a stop sign installation. “Although stop signs might appear on face value to be a safe implementation of traffic control devices, it also poses other hazards such as rear ends and creates other collisions — conflict points that aren’t apparently obvious to motorists and sometimes creates a false sense of
security for pedestrians who cross at those locations,” he explained. “That’s the reason why the DOT relies heavily on meeting the warrant analyses when we do placement of traffic control devices. “As long as we have cooperation with the HOA that they are doing their part to remove the line of sight issues with their trees on the median,” qualified Martinez, “we are going to finalize the traffic study and then approve that traffic study at the next TAC meeting.” Following approval from the county Board of Supervisors, earliest possible implementation of stop signs would commence in spring 2023.

Beat the heat
H
otter summers and less rain make us rethink the plants we want in our gardens. Heat-tolerant, water-wise plants are just as charming and beautiful as water-loving plants. First consider native California plants. Due to our Mediterranean climate, most native plants fit the heat-resistant, drought-tolerant requirement. Calscape.org was developed by the California Native Plant Society and is a great resource for native plants. Explore the website for planting guides, plant selection and garden planning. Another great resource is the UC Davis Arboretum website, arboretum.ucdavis.edu. Explore this website to find a sustainable garden toolkit and plant lists, including one of our favorites, the Arboretum All-Star plant list that specializes in droughttolerant plants. A local resource is the Sherwood Demonstration Garden. The garden, located at 6699 Campus Drive in Placerville behind Folsom Lake College – El Dorado Center, features 16 themed gardens, several especially designed for our climate. Visit ucanr.edu/sites/EDC_ Master_Gardeners/ Demonstration_Garden. Each garden has its own webpage with a plant list that can be downloaded and printed. The All-Star Garden, the Mediterranean Garden and the Native Garden feature plants that do well in our climate. Bring these plant lists with you as a start, wander the gardens and take notes of the plants that you like. The
Summer Brasuel UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County Sherwood Demonstration Garden is open 9 a.m. to noon every Friday and Saturday. On the first Saturday of each month there is a free garden tour starting at 9 a.m. sharp — do not be late! The docent may be able to answer your questions as you go. A few flowering plants
to consider are sun lovers like California fuchsia Epilobium canum. It has bright red flowers that bloom all summer and attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators. Sulphur flower Eriogonum umbellatum displays long-lasting bright yellow flowers that bring a colorful pop to the garden. Yarrow Achille millefolium is also a heat lover, coming in all shades of red, pink, yellow and white. Salvias, both broad leaf and small leaf, love the heat, bloom all summer and come in colors of red, white, blue and pink.

Museums offer must-do experiences before summer’s end SACRAMENTO — Sacramento area museums offer plenty of must-see and must-do experiences perfect to explore before summer’s end. The community is encouraged to visit their favorite destinations (or discover new ones) with friends, family or as solo explorers. Must-see and must-do experiences and activations offered by local museums this summer include: California Museum — Museum guests are invited to get their bodies moving and dance to reveal a personal identity collage in the Proud to Be Me exhibit at the California Museum’s Unity Center. Home to the official California Hall of Fame and many more inspiring exhibitions, the California Museum celebrates the
Golden State’s history, arts, diversity and unique influence on the world. Visit californiamuseum.org. California State Railroad Museum — The community is invited to help welcome a new must-see locomotive to the world-class museum. The Virginia & Truckee No. 18 (the Dayton) was originally built in the Sacramento Central Pacific Shops in 1873.

the museum is open on Thursday evenings from 6-9 p.m. for concerts, films and more. With special activations happening in the outdoor courtyard and gallery spaces, ArtMix evening extravaganzas are designed with adults in mind (second Thursdays); Movies Off the Wall, the summer film series screened outside against the wall of the iconic Teel Family Pavilion (third Thursdays); and Jazz Nights at the Crocker, Sacramento’s longest running outdoor jazz concert series (fourth Thursdays). Visit crockerart.org/summerthursdays. Sacramento Children’s Museum — Every Thursday around 11:30 a.m. the museum will host special performers and presentations as part of an exciting program, Story Factory Stage Presents. This new offering will highlight many good friends of the museum such as musician Lisa Phenix, the great Richie Bee and his one-man circus and an introduction to some animal and reptile friends. Free with museum admission. Visit sackids.org. Sacramento History Museum — Day or night, the Sacramento History Museum has must-do experiences that await. In the daytime Old Sacramento Underground Tour guests stay cool in underground spaces. Guests explore what has been hidden beneath the city for more than 150 years, while uncovering the facts and legends that lie below Old Sacramento. Then at night, guests explore a different side of history with After Hours or Paranormal Investigation evening tours. These experiences divulge stories not told on the daytime tours: murder, mischief, madness, mayhem and madams. Old Sacramento Underground Tours are offered every day and After Hours and Paranormal Tours on weekends. Visit sachistorymuseum.org. Sacramento Regional Fire Museum — A great summertime must-see for all ages is the Early Sacramento Central Fire Alarm Station at the Fire Museum. On special display, it is the original fire alarm system installed in Sacramento in 1932. It was the reception point for all of the cities’ street fire alarm boxes. The system remains operational and the only known working model in California. Visit sacfiremuseum.org. Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park — Back by popular demand, Sutter’s Fort is offering extended hours on Friday and Saturday evenings through Labor Day. An iconic midtown destination, Sutter’s Fort is open until 8 p.m. when visitors can enjoy a leisurely evening visit that often provides more shade, a nice delta breeze and must-see sunsets during self-guided tours of the park. Visit suttersfort.org/event/extendedsummer-hours-2.

these topsy-turvy times? The Dalí exhibit is well worth a day trip or even a few days’ vacation in Monterey. The museum building is just a few blocks from the Monterey Marriott, is within 100 feet of Fisherman’s Wharf (clam chowder, anyone?) and just minutes by car from Pebble Beach and 17-Mile Drive. For hours and admission visit mhaadali.com. A trip to the ocean is always good for the soul. As Dalí said, “There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.” May your summer adventures be lived to the full. Carpe diem!

W
ow! It’s August! Many schools resume this month which means the end of summer vacation. July brought high temperatures but that didn’t stop our Chamber from being extremely busy. The monthly Networking Luncheon on 7/27 was sponsored by Angela Honoroff with Plexus Health and Wellness and our guest speaker, Matt Saia, with Sadler Training, provided valuable information to our membership. On the 28th, we had an incredible Mixer hosted by Fondue 152, where dining is an experience. Owner, Carrie Toeller, showed us around her amazing restaurant and provided food samplings for all to enjoy. Remember that being a Chamber member is more than just signing up and paying dues. It’s about getting involved, networking and having our business/community voices heard on a larger scale. Save the following dates on your calendar so that you don’t miss one of our events. August 24th is the monthly networking lunch sponsored by Peak Nutrition and the guest speaker is Rafael Martinez, Director of Transportation for El Dorado
County. Rafael will be discussing the ballot measure to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). On August 25th from 5:30pm -7:30pm, the Food Bank of El Dorado County in conjunction with Cameron Park Shingle Springs Chamber, El Dorado Hills Chamber and Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Tribal Fire Department will break ground on its new Emergency Resource Center. The Food Dude personally invites you to share in the festivities with free food, drinks, and music. Come out and celebrate with the community as the Food Bank of El Dorado County begins its vision for the county’s newest Emergency Resource Center. Working together we can all make a difference in El Dorado County. Once again, our Chamber is organizing the Thunder in the Park Car Show. Mark your calendar for October 1st at Cameron Park Lake. Last year we had over 125 cars and expect to sell out again! It’s a family friendly event with food trucks, DJ, raffle and 50/50! We need raffle items and volunteers for the day of the event. Call the Chamber office if you can assist with either of these items.
The SS/CP Chamber Needs Volunteers! The Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce needs volunteers to spend a few hours a month helping the chamber with its events and management. The payback is helping your local business advocates support the community in which they live and serve,
while striving to make Shingle Springs and Cameron Park wonderful places in which to live! We have several key positions opening right now. Get involved today! Please contact Colette Thiel at Colette@thielhomes.com for more information.
