Supes vote 4-1 to oppose student vaccine mandate Eric Jaramishian Staff writer It was standing room only in El Dorado County Board of Supervisors’ chambers Nov. 16 as county leaders listened to community members’ frustrations and concerns with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of immunizations required for middle and high school students to attend school in person. Supervisors voted to authorize the county’s chief administrative officer to draft a letter to the governor in support of El Dorado County school superintendents, who last week sent a letter to Newsom asking that medical, religious and personal exemptions remain. The CAO’s letter will come back to supervisors for review Dec. 7. District 2 Supervisor George Turnboo presented a resolution declaring opposition to a vaccine mandate for school children. He started the conversation reading letters from Congressman Tom McClintock, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley and county Auditor-Controller Joe Harn, who showed support for the resolution. “Why are we penalizing our kids?” Turnboo asked. “I just

If adults are out in the public not wearing masks and moving freely, why are we penalizing our kids?” The resolution calls for more
freedom for families’ and individual’s healthcare choices and states no student should be denied in-person education based on vaccination status. Newsom in late October
announced plans to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of vaccines already required such as, polio, DTap/Tdap, measles, mumps, chickenpox and hepatitis B, among others,
after the vaccine receives full approval from the Food and Drug Administration. In a lengthy discussion dozens spoke during public comment, showing praise for the resolution and urging supervisors to take the action. Parents who spoke before the board said they are considering taking their children out of public school while others said they considering moving out of county. “I think these kids deserve a proper education and what happens when we have these mandates and their parents pull them out of school?” Turnboo asked. Other residents urged supervisors to not follow through with the resolution on grounds that the state makes the decisions and issues guidelines with no local consideration. According to the Board of Supervisors’ agenda, the resolution was necessary as an enrollment decline could impact funding for local school districts, which could put school employees’ jobs at risk and lead to reduced academic opportunities. After discussion and public comment supervisors approved the resolution in a 4-1 vote with District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel the dissenting vote.

ORHS women’s volleyball wraps up special season Sel Richard Staff writer The Oak Ridge High School women’s varsity volleyball team recently wrapped up a stellar season. “It’s been a really great journey,” Coach Trevin Morgan shared. “If you had said at the beginning of the season that we would be playing for the chance at a state championship, I’m not sure anybody would have believed it, but these girls did.” The team unfortunately lost last week’s home playoff match to Hillsdale 3-0, only the sixth loss of the season. It was a painful blow to the young, spirited athletes who amassed a total of 34 wins, placed first in both the Sierra Foothill League and the CIF SacJoaquin Section Division 1 and earned the No. 1 seed for NorCal Division 1 to qualify for the state championships. Morgan can’t help but be proud of their accomplishments. The team won 17 games before losing a single match, which Morgan attributes to an injury. “We had to play a different system that we weren’t used to,” he said. “I want them to look at the season and just remember that they did something that only one other team, to my knowledge, at Oak Ridge has done, is gone to the regional finals.” Oak Ridge volleyball made it to the NorCal final in 2016 under coach Patrick Sanders. It is Morgan’s fourth season coaching the team and he said he feels a special bond with them. “This is my first full graduating class. It’s the group that grew up with me in this program,” he said, referring to the seven seniors on the team who have played together since their freshman year. “It’s probably the best team chemistry I’ve ever had in all my years here. They are competitors.” Looking back, Morgan said the season opened to a rocky start with the canceling of a scrimmage due to a COVID-19 scare. But then the team swept its first varsity

They love the sport and they love playing. Effort is never an issue for them.” Olivia Medina, an outside/defensive specialist, said her biggest lesson from this season was to always pick up her teammates, no matter how she feels she is performing. “It is so important to feed off each other’s energy,” she insisted. “That momentum can make or break a game.” While it was hard for her to pick a favorite moment from the season, she said winning section finals was a definite highlight. “It was amazing to be able to accomplish that my senior year, with the best team I could ask for,” said Medina. Defensive specialist McKenna Towne agreed. “We don’t have one
star who runs the game. Every person on the court and bench plays an important role in making plays,” said the senior. “I feel like I can show up to practice and be myself. The biggest thing I’ve learned is having an emotional connection to the girls on the court makes you play better and support each other more.” Towne also ski races for the Oak Ridge alpine team and will be playing beach volleyball for University of San Francisco. For junior setter Leilani Yang, the team dynamic was strengthened during one of their annual camping trips. “All was going well until the power went out,” she reminisced. “We quickly realized during this time in the dark, we only had each other. It was a judgment free zone. Despite our different grades and personalities, we all shared something in common: our love for the sport and our determination to make this difficult COVID season the best one yet.” Yang also credits an open attitude toward criticism for her teammates’ growth. “We can’t focus on the delivery of it,” she mused, taking their final loss in stride and excited

for her future club season to begin. “I’m definitely looking forward to some sleep,” she admitted. “This year the girls wanted to go further than any other team had gone. I felt they had accomplished that in so many different ways,” said Morgan. “They had a lot of heart and a lot of grit. They put their egos aside and handled everything with class. “I’m just hoping that with the culture that we’ve built at the school that it continues, that every group builds upon that legacy,” he continued. “In this case it’s about hard work, playing to your ability and teamwork — doing what is necessary as a group to achieve their goals. They’re just special. They amazed me every day with what they did.”

Smile
Village Life photo by Sel Richard
Debra Hays, front, with her husband Shiloh Conrad, Dr. Bryan Tuttle of Above the Gate Dentistry and Dr. Jason Straw of True Oral, Facial & Dental Implant Surgery, left to right, will get a new smile courtesy of the Second Chance program.
Hays was chosen out of 67 respondents who submitted letters narrowed down through an extensive interview process. “A lot of people are in the situation they’re in because of things that are not at real fault of their own. It’s the circumstance of their lives,” said Straw. “It made it extremely difficult to make a decision on one person.” “It’s a bigger gift than anybody can ever imagine,” insisted Hays, who shared that her teeth are the first thing she thinks of when she wakes and the last thing before she goes to bed. “You feel your teeth and they’re cutting your mouth and you feel so ugly. I haven’t been able to smile. Covering your mouth all the time, it’s been so hard and embarrassing.” At 21 years old, Hays was the passenger in a car accident during which she flew through the windshield and cracked most of her teeth. Her condition was then exacerbated by medication for seizures, which caused her teeth to become brittle. “I have to chew with my front teeth because I don’t have any molars,” she explained. By the time she saw a Facebook post for the Second Chance program, she had filled out more than 100 grant applications to get her teeth fixed. “My phone was ringing with all these crazy scams,” she remembers, initially reluctant to enter her phone number for fear of additional scam phones calls. “I don’t know how they made the choice. I think my teeth are just really bad.
El Dorado Hills
Continued from A1 There’s not much left of them.” “For years our practice and team has been helping people in this region,” Straw noted. “We get to see a lot of the individuals in our community who have these severe oral health needs. We decided to put on this Second Chance program because we recognize that not everyone has access to these type of services for full-mouth restorations.” Straw credited his team for being critical in making Hays’ restoration a reality. Dr. Bryan Tuttle of Above the Gate Dentistry in El Dorado Hills and Diamond Springs will fit Hays’ dentures. Allure Dental Studios in Tracy will construct and fabricate the prosthesis and Bio Horizons will supply the implants and prosthetics. “We’re all doing this because we want to make a difference,” Straw said, hopeful he can make this an annual event. He said he’s excited to begin the long process of Hays’ makeover. “The best part is yet to come.” Hays said the first thing she will do after her surgeries is smile. “I miss smiling,” she declared. “My mom used to tell me the biggest gift you can give someone that can change their whole day or even their life is to smile at them.” Representatives from the offices of Sen. Andreas Borgeas, Assemblyman Frank Bigelow and Assemblyman Kevin Kiley attended the event along with District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl and EDH Chamber of Commerce staff.

Spy plane pilot to share inspirational story News release
T
he Rotary Club of Folsom is excited to present its first fundraiser in some time with world famous pilot Brian Shul, who will speak at the Harris Center for the Arts Saturday, Nov. 27. After being severely burned in a fiery crash in the jungles of Vietnam, Shul was told he would never fly again. Enduring the pain of 15 major surgeries and a year in military hospitals, he fought his way back into the skies to become a TOPGUN Flight Instructor. Shul’s amazing determination led to his selection as a spy pilot for the top-secret SR-71, the fastest, highest flying jet in the world. Only 93 men ever flew the SR-71 and only one carried a camera with him, when allowed, and after seven years around the aircraft he compiled what is now the world’s rarest photographic collection of the most remarkable aircraft of the 20th century. Shul is one of the most popular and dynamic keynote speakers in America today. Now a highly acclaimed author, photographer and motivational speaker, Shul’s remarkable story of
faith-based fearlessness has inspired millions with its universal appeal. Coupled with a stunning multimedia presentation, this is the one show every group labels as “the best show we’ve ever seen.”
In Shul’s presentation, he masterfully uses his rare aviation slides and stories as a vehicle to tell an inspired story of hope, overcoming obstacles and daring to dream. From lying near death in the jungles of Southeast Asia
to flying the world’s fastest jet, Shul shares his amazing journey in this most unforgettable presentation that not only reveals fascinating details about the SR-71, but is a meaningful message on life’s opportunities.
All proceeds from this event will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and the Folsom Rotary Foundation. Doors open at 6 p.m. with a meet and greet at 6:30 and the show at 7:30. For more informa-
tion or to purchase tickets go to brianshul.eventbrite.com. The Harris Center is located at 10 College Parkway on the Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom.

Barkcuterie board lets your pet join in the holiday fun Best Friends Animal Society News release
W
ith all those delicious holiday meals coming up, we know that our pets want to join in on the fun. But unfortunately, the foods we love are not always safe for them. Common food items that can be poisonous to dogs include onions, raisins, grapes, some nuts, chocolate and alcohol, so avoid sharing these with them. Too many rich, fatty foods or simply new, unfamiliar foods can upset a pet’s stomach — and even cause pancreatitis, which can be lifethreatening — so owners should go easy on the tidbits. The same goes for bones, which can break apart or splinter in a pet’s stomach and be deadly. Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of shelter pets in America by 2025, has the perfect solution to bring your dog a festive feast: barkcuterie boards.
What you will need • Serving or cutting board • Small bowl or ramekin • Cookie cutters in a variety of shapes and sizes — we love paws, bones, hearts and stars • Cutting board, knife and spoon for food prep • ½ cup of your pet’s favorite wet food (if they don’t eat wet food, double the amount of dry) • ¼ cup of your pet’s favorite dry food • A hearty handful of

Barkcuterie boards are special treats filled with foods safe for your dog. your dog’s favorite treats • 1 cup of your pet’s favorite chopped/sliced dog-friendly fruits and vegetables, such as: apples, mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, zucchini and kale. Pick a variety of colors and what’s seasonal — the options are endless. • Your best friend (and taste-tester)
Optional additions • Kale or spinach — for garnish • Coconut whipped cream (note: should only be given as an occasional treat as coconut milk does have some benefits for a dog’s fur and coat, but is rich in fat and triglycerides) • Peanut butter (Make sure you it’s xylitol-free)
Directions • Place the small serving bowl in the center of your cutting board. If you’re using kale or spinach, place it under and surrounding the small bowl. • Fill the small bowl with the wet food. • Place the cut fruits and veggies around the bowl. Separate different colors so each item stands out. • Fill in multiple areas with the dry food. • Place treats around the board and in-between the fruits and veggies. Your best friend may have fun sniffing these irresistible treats out if you place them under the kale, too! • Keep it simple. Design your barkcuterie board with your dog in mind and choose the foods they will enjoy.

Tips for a safe and healthy holiday season infections), • Assign a designated driver before consuming alcohol away from home (or use public transportation or a ridehailing service), • Wash hands frequently (to avoid infections like norovirus), • Be aware of dangers and exercise care with regard to children’s toys, cooking, Christmas trees, hanging outdoor lights, etc., • Keep current on vaccinations (to avoid illnesses like measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, influenza, some pneumonias and COVID-19) • Stay away from other people when ill (to keep them safe). According to Williams, COVID-19 remains the biggest worry for many people this holiday season and for good reason. “COVID is still the biggest infectious
News release El Dorado County Public Health wishes to remind residents and visitors how to stay safe and healthy over the holidays. “The change in season and upcoming holidays prompt gatherings and behaviors that increase many health and safety risks,” said El Dorado County Health Officer Dr. Nancy Williams. “Taking simple preventive measures can reduce the chances of the holidays being ruined by things like improperly cooked turkeys, drunk driving or respiratory infections and can also ensure everyone stays safe.” Williams recommends the following basic health and safety tips for the holidays: • Understand and practice safe food preparation (to avoid gastrointestinal

disease threat in El Dorado County. Different virus variants have emerged over time. The current predominant variant (‘Delta’) is more than twice as contagious as earlier variants. It may also result in more severe illness,” said Williams. “Even though many people have been vaccinated against COVID, or have been infected with it or both, the Delta variant poses some threat to everyone and especially to the elderly and people with health conditions that put them at greater risk. “For those who were vaccinated in early 2021, we know immunity can wane over time and booster doses are now recommended,” she continued. “In addition, many people in El Dorado County and elsewhere still remain unvaccinated.” In addition to risks directly associated with the virus, other factors increase the risk of acquiring a COVID-19 infection. “The change in weather and fewer hours of sunshine encourage people to be indoors,” said Williams. “The holidays also encourage people to travel and to gather indoors with others. The urge to spend time with friends and loved ones makes it hard to say no to gatherings even when doing so could potentially put others at risk.” People who gather with family or friends from outside their own households can take measures to keep everyone safe, even those (such as grandparents) who may be more vulnerable to COVID, said Williams. The following tips are recommended, even for those who have some immunity (from vaccination or from being previously infected), but especially for those who do not: • Try to avoid possible exposures to COVID during the two weeks (and especially during the last week) imme-
diately before your holiday gatherings, such as indoor events or spending time in close proximity to others while not wearing face coverings • Wear face coverings when you must be in indoor public spaces with other people during that timeframe • Get vaccinated or a booster dose (if eligible) as far in advance of the gathering as possible. Vaccinations start to work immediately, so it’s still worthwhile to get them even if reaching fully vaccinated status won’t happen until after your gatherings • Consider getting tested before you gather with people — antigen testing (within 24 hours before the gathering) or PCR testing (within 72 hours before the gathering) • Always keep away from others if you’ve tested positive for COVID (or flu or any other infectious illness), have symptoms or have been told to quarantine • Make contingency plans in advance of events so that it’s easier to say no if necessary • Encourage friends and family members to follow these guidelines For more information read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s or the California Department of Public Health’s tips for safe holiday gatherings.

STATE REDISTRICTING
Draft maps released for review Village Life staff SACRAMENTO — The California Citizens Redistricting Commission has released draft maps for the state’s Congressional, Senate, Assembly and Board of Equalization districts. The maps are a “starting point for public discussion,” according to Commission Chair Trena Turner. “These are not intended to be final maps and we strongly encourage Californians to continue weighing in until we get it right. A global pandemic and delayed census data would not stop this commission from delivering on its promise to create maps that encourage fair representation.” Turner noted that final maps will be completed and certified by the Dec. 27 deadline. The commission assessed the communities of interest testimony it received throughout the summer to inform district boundaries and consider tradeoffs that needed to be made in eventual maps. Draft maps can be found at wedrawthelinesca.org/draft_maps. Public feedback can be submitted at airtable.com/
Congressional map courtesy of California Redistricting Commission
A draft map shows how Congressional District 1 and District 4 lines might change with El Dorado County to be divided. Indicated in green on the map, one district would extend from mid-El Dorado County north into Plumas County. The other district would extend from mid-El Dorado County south into Inyo County. shrQDD2ta2emnSzzO and will be taken for at least 14 days from Nov. 10, the date of public display of the first preliminary statewide draft maps of the Congressional, state Senatorial, Assembly and state Board of Equalization districts. The commission shall not display any other map for public comment during the 14-day period. In accordance with the California Constitution the commission followed these criteria, in this order, to draw district maps: • Districts must be
of equal population to comply with the U.S. Constitution. • Districts must comply with the Voting Rights Act to ensure that minorities have an equal opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. • Districts must be drawn contiguously, so that all parts of the district are connected to each other. • Districts must minimize the division of cities, counties, neighborhoods and communities of interest to the extent possible.
• Districts should be geographically compact: such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for a more distant population. This requirement refers to density, not shape. Census blocks cannot be split. • Where practicable each Senate district should be comprised of two complete and adjacent Assembly districts and Board of Equalization districts should be comprised of 10 complete and adjacent State Senate Districts. The place of residence of any incumbent or political candidate may not be considered in the creation of a map and districts may not be drawn for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate or political party. Every 10 years, after the federal government publishes updated census information, California must redraw the boundaries of its electoral districts so that the state’s population is evenly allocated among the new districts.
