espite current shelter-in-place orders the El Dorado Hills Community Services District is determined to celebrate the many volunteers who contribute to the community. April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and EDHCSD Communications Specialist April West launched a social media campaign to virtually recognize these special people, sharing photos and quotes and giving lots of thanks on the district’s Facebook and Instagram accounts all month long. “It’s about celebrating who’s making our community exceptional,” West said.
One of those exceptional people is Wayne Lowery, a 30-year El Dorado Hills resident. “Lowery’s continued dedication to EDHCSD is quite remarkable,” said West of Lowery’s active involvement with young volunteers through Oak Ridge High School’s Interact Club and Boy Scouts. “The Interact Club helps with so many of our events, and it’s exciting for us to work with our future leaders,” she said. Lowery has local roots, having grown up in Rancho Cordova and raising cows when it was still an agricultural community. During his college years he worked as a camp counselor for the Fair Oaks See CSD, page A5

Martial artists show skills off the mat Sel Richard Staff writer
P
erfecting armlocks and chokeholds may be what many strive for in a discipline that stems from traditions of war and hand-to-hand combat. However, one local martial artist chooses to teach a doctrine that encompasses not only growth within oneself, but within the community. Soft spoken and modest, El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense owner Eliot Kelly doesn’t necessarily fit the Jiu Jitsu fighter stereotype following the martial art’s rise in popularity through UFC fame. Kelly’s manner belies the numerous championships he has earned throughout his

career, including American National Champion, NoGi World Champion, Master World three-time medalist and Abu Dhabi Pro Trial Champion to name a few. The cauliflower ear is a dead giveaway to his fierceness in the ring. Kelly’s focus for his students has evolved over the 10 years he has been inspiring young and old through his school. Components of his curriculum include martial arts terminology and history, setting personal goals as well as basic life skills. Then three years ago Kelly began incorporating a community service element for those looking to earn their blue belt promotion. n

EL DORADO HILLS CHAMBER CANCELS NEXT MONTH’S ART, BEER & WINE FESTIVAL
CANCELED
News release
The Cal Expo Board of Directors has decided to cancel the California State Fair and Food Festival scheduled July 17 through Aug. 2 until 2021. The health and safety of the community, guests and staff is the fair organization’s No. 1 priority and fair officials agree with the measured, scientific approach that’s been implemented by the governor to combat COVID-19.
Per the California Department of Public Health’s Executive Order N-33-20 in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the stay-at-home order remains and requires the cancelation of public events for the foreseeable future. In light of these unprecedented times, the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors regrettably voted to not reschedule the 17th annual Art, Beer & Wine Festival, May 9-10, to any date in 2020. The next El Dorado Hills Art, Beer & Wine Festival is planned for May 8-9, 2021. “Year after year our chamber has a strong commitment to our attendees, volunteers and vendors of this regional event. We do not take lightly the cancelation of our Art, Beer & Wine Festival, but only plan to come back stronger in 2021,” shared Debbie Manning, chamber president/CEO. Plans are still under way for the second annual El Dorado Hills Brewfest on Sept. 12. The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c) (6), not-for-profit organization founded in 1986 to serve and advocate for the local business community. The mission of the chamber is strengthening the local economy, representing business interests to government, promoting the community, providing members business connections and influencing political action.

***** All performances at the Harris Center for the Arts on the Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom through July 2020 have either been canceled or are being rescheduled. “The safety of all is best served by not gathering people together,” notes Harris Center Executive Director Dave Pier. The Harris Center has been issuing refunds for canceled performances. For more information, patrons should visit the Harris Center website at harriscenter.net/ events/cancelledevents, which includes a list of affected events and an indication of the status of refunds updated daily. As plans for reopening are solidified, the public will be notified.
Can you help with child care? Dina Gentry News release The Early Care & Education Planning Council is leading El Dorado County’s emergency childcare response and is recruiting for the Care Corps — a care option for essential employees in need of support with child care. Currently the childcare supply is sufficient to support the community’s essential workers as COVID-19 has not spread through El Dorado County at a significant level and many programs remain open and able to care for more children. The El Dorado County Emergency Childcare Task Force Care Corp is recruiting individuals with early education experience who are currently fingerprint cleared with another agency or can become fingerprint cleared.

Masking healthcare heroes — 3D style Jana Rossi Staff writer
A
community post on Facebook called out to El Dorado Hills orthodontist Dr. Jeffrey Kwong. Folsom Family Practice Dr. Megan Babb was looking for area dentists with 3D printing capabilities willing to help create personal protection equipment for local healthcare professionals. Having purchased a 3D printer six months prior, Kwong jumped into action. After downloading a design file from makethemasks.com he was ready to go. The process is long; his machine churns out one mask each hour, but the impact is big. All masks are donated to frontline workers at Dignity Health. “I want to say thank you to the frontline workers who are keeping us safe, and I am glad to be able to contribute,” Kwong said. The Montana Mask, as it is called, was created by two doctors and a microbiologist in Billings, Mont. While the 3D masks are not FDA approved or of the same quality as N95 masks, homemade masks are CDC approved for use when other personal protective equipment is not available. The Montana Masks are customizable for a secure fit, can be sanitized and reused. Those like Kwong using their 3D printers to make and donate PPEs are doing so at their own expense and with the help of community donations. For more information on how to help email Dr. Kwong at info@jkortho.com or call (916) 933-0532. If you have a 3D printer or would like to donate masks email Megan.babb@dignityhealth.org.

Hands4Hope helps youth find connection Esther Normoyle Hands4Hope Hands4Hope, a nonprofit, youth-driven service learning and outreach organization, is helping local youth find creative ways to connect with peers and find purpose during the coronavirus crisis. This month Hands4Hope opened participation to its online community service project committees and will host leadership classes starting in May through the website, hands4hopeyouth.org, and Zoom. As proms, sports and special events are canceled, classes move online and social distancing lends to boredom, teenagers are struggling with a world turned upside-down. “Our youth need engagement more than ever and compassion in action is necessary to help maintain some sort of normalcy for those in need. We have moved our after-school committee meetings to Zoom meetings and we are creating a workshop series for our youth so they may continue building skills to help with their Hands4Hope service projects,” said Jennifer Bassett, executive director, “as well as explore areas of interest for future careers.” The upcoming online workshops include topics such as public speaking, developing a marketing plan and budgeting. The goal of Hands4Hope is to match local business leaders who want to give back and inspire youth during this unique opportunity when youth may have extra time to explore an area of interest for future service projects or a potential college major or career.

$ Hands4Hope leaders and volunteers share positive messages during a recent Zoom meeting. the local youth gives me great joy and gratification.” It’s that optimism and teamwork that is so important for teenagers weathering these unprecedented times. “Many teenagers feel their autonomy has suddenly been taken from them and they have lost their personal freedom. We can help them by emphasizing how their lives can have a purpose, meaning and impact on other people and they can create this impact by reaching out to fellow students or people in their community,” say Kelly Richardson, licensed teen therapist and host of the blog Thera-Mom. The goal of Hands4Hope is to train youth to identify a need in their community and empower them to meet that need. Harini Krishnan, a freshman in the Folsom High School Hands4Hope Club, initiated a project with her fellow club members on March 19, shortly after social distancing began, to create cards to show appreciation for employees at nine grocery stores in Folsom. “I believe that these people don’t get appre-
ciated as much as they should be,” said Krishnan, adding that it was important to her to honor everyone working on the front lines of the crisis. Other Hands4Hope COVID-19 projects include collecting virtual cards and video clips to compile into videos to send to homebound seniors at Mercy Creekview Senior Living and other local senior centers. Most teens, if given the opportunity, will rise to expectations if encouraged and supported, according to Richardson. Times of stress can help develop creative solutions to empower teenagers to be part of the solution, she added. “It means the world to me to be able to give back to the community during this time,” Hauteman agreed. For more information on how to get involved on a community service project committee contact melissap@hands4hopeyouth.org. Those interested in joining a community service project or finding other ways to help those in need in the communities during COVID-19 should visit hands4hopeyouth.org.

Another example is the Ryan Christopher Hersh Scholarship Committee, which runs a selection process to provide underprivileged local youth with the opportunity for a financial scholarship to a summer camp of their choice. “I’m so proud of the way that we have made our meetings work these past few weeks through technology,” said committee member McKenna Hauteman, a student at St. Francis High School. “We meet via videoconference, and share our ideas online.” Her volunteer work is also an act of hope. “After this much social distancing,” expressed Hauteman, “youth in the area will be eager to get out and have some fun.

In Loving Memory Laurence Kent Campoy November 1, 1951 to April 13, 2020 Larry Campoy, 68, passed away on Mon Monday, April 13, 2020, in El Dorado Hills, CA, after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Dina Blake, daughters, Megan and Lindsay Campoy, stepson, Nathan Blake, brothers Mathew and Joseph Campoy, sister Donna Marie Hacker, and many other family and friends who enjoyed his wit and wisdom. He was preceded in death by his son Nic Campoy, and his parents, Joseph and Dora Campoy. Larry grew up in Folsom, on the grounds of Folsom Prison, where his father became Warden. He attended Folsom High School, then CSU Sacramento, where he received a degree in Criminal Justice. He worked for 30 years at Folsom Prison, and retired as the Prison Industries Authority Administrator in 2007. Larry loved his family, community, building hot rods, and helping others. He will be deeply missed. Private funeral services will be held at Folsom Memorial Lawn on Tuesday, April 28 at 11AM. A joyous Celebration of Life will be held at a later date (to be posted here) when we are free to gather again. Memorial donations may be made in Larry’s name to Snowline Hospice.

Martial artists Kelly looks for labor-based service requiring minimal financial outlay. “I’d rather people donate time rather than money,” he said. “The idea is to get people together interacting outside of training.” Kelly kicked off his community service idea with a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich drive. The school assembled sandwiches and delivered them to homeless in Sacramento. “It was heart-wrenching to see. You can be kind of detached from the homeless population. It gives you a reality check,” he recalled of the event of several years ago. Placerville resident Jesse Jones usually attended the 6 a.m. class on his way to work in Sacramento. For him, the service project was a chance to finally bring an idea to fruition. “I decided to do something that I’ve been kicking around in my head for a long time,” he said. Having heard about a Sacramento group that helps individuals fix things around the house, he formed a group called Placerville Makes Things Better. Dedicated to being a resource for the Placerville area, the group provides services for low-income and high-need families. During the COVID-19 shelter in place volunteers have been delivering food to vulnerable residents who cannot leave their home. Last fall Jones held a fundraiser where kids could build their own stool with materials provided by the group. Funds were then used to fix a dilapidated porch for an 84-year-old former Marine. Jones has a son at the school and said he’s impressed with Kelly’s emphasis on community education with the younger students. “Sometimes they have to do a one paragraph essay of what they think about things like Veterans Day. He asks the kids to think about it and share it,” Jones said, adding that Kelly explains to the kids, “You have a set of skills and have a responsibility now. You need to be a good community member to help others.” For his project, blue belt Jarrod Mills ran a sock drive for SacTown Santa, a homeless outreach program. “It is the No. 1 needed product at most homeless shelters across the community,” Mills shared. “It was a really neat way to educate while doing some good.” Of the service component that was required of him, Mills admits that it is unusual. “It’s pretty unique to this par-
Continued from A1 ticular gym,” he said. But he told Village Life he subscribes to Kelly’s insistence of the relationship between service and the art. “It’s about recognizing that there’s more to the way you act and behave than just your performance on the mat. (It’s) how you carry yourself as a citizen of the community, how you develop your character is exemplified in the type of project you put together.” Blue belt Ryan Dostart has studied at the school for three years and is also a believer in Kelly’s philosophies. “Not every place does it like Eliot does. A big part of advancing in this martial art is community,” he said. For his project, Dostart organized a self-defense seminar, proceeds from which were donated to El Dorado County charter schools to buy supplies for children. “He really wants to show people in the community how easy it is to give back,” Dostart said. Attracted to camaraderie in the school, he credits Kelly with fostering the family atmosphere. “Eliot is like a black belt world champion but you’d never know that because he’s so humble. It’s reflective of a good leader. He doesn’t just talk the talk. He lives that way.” With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, service to the community is more appreciated than ever. Student Aiza Tengan has been volunteering at the Folsom Lake Food Bank live garden in between sewing and delivering face masks to anyone who needs them. Other students have hosted events such as a diaper drive, Twin Lakes Food Bank clean up, Folsom Lake clean up, Women Infant and Children benefit, yoga workshop for My Sister’s House and a fundraiser for Star Treatments for kids with cancer. Kelly maintains that at the base of the community service is an educational component. “Maybe your event inspires someone else to do something. There’s a ripple effect that can’t really be measured,” he said. “It’s fun; it’s interactive. Ideally kids and adults can do them together. Just like we help each other get stronger on the mat, we help our community get stronger off the mat.” The studio is currently closed and conducting classes through video conferencing.

in their name, which will be available in the library. At 900 logged hours, one volunteer stands out. “Sharon Booth has shown how volunteers can make huge, positive impacts in their communities,” said Branch Manager Jan Robbins. “Sharon is a hardworking and indispensable volunteer at the El Dorado Hills Library. The library shines with her in it.” A 38-year resident of El Dorado Hills, Booth is retired from her 35-year stint as a licensed clinical social worker but couldn’t stay idle for long. Nine years ago she decided to feed her interest to serve the community and got involved. “The library was the first place I went as I have always been a voracious reader and a library user from a young age,” she said. “It was a natural fit.” Booth started by mending books and soon became active with Friends of the Library. She initiated and chaired the Night at the Library fundraiser for six years. Booth shared that those years presented her with some of her greatest challenges. “I’d never done any event planning or solicitation of donations before,” Booth admitted, saying that she developed new skills and confidence in the process. “It was not anything I ever thought I would do in a million years. There was a need so I jumped in.” The lucrative event sported a different theme each year and included local restaurants, wineries, musicians as well as silent auctions and raffles. Booth has since switched gears and is currently the used book chairperson, sorting donated books, doing research for books that the library can sell on Amazon, boxing and storing books for book sales and also running library book sales. In the past three years she has discovered that her present position is a much better fit. “It’s a lot of fun,” she insisted. “It’s like Christmas for me when the new donations come in. Seriously, I get very excited about it.” Booth told Village Life she finds sincere enjoyment in managing the book sales and interacting with the volunteers and patrons. “Watching children and adults find that special book is a delight. I work with a great team of people,” she said. “But I also still enjoy mending
books.” Friends of the Library President Marilyn Marcroft, also a longtime library volunteer, has had a front row seat to Booth’s many contributions. “Sharon is a very hard worker and if she says she will do something, she does it well,” said Marcroft. “She is fun and funny, witty and very smart.” Marcroft remembers one morning when Booth had suffered a tennis injury. “She looked terrible and I know she was in pain,” Marcroft recalled. “But when I walked in, there she was. Nothing I could say would persuade her to leave and take care of herself. “Sharon is a wonderful friend, thoughtful and caring. She is a marvelous volunteer, always dependable, contributing and resourceful.” Booth is just as enthusiastic about her fellow volunteers. “I enjoy the staff and the environment is really stimulating,” she said, quick to welcome others. “Friends of the Library is a great group and we could always use more assistance. I invite anyone who’s interested to come join us.” In addition to daily library maintenance, volunteers help in a variety of tasks. In the 3D Print Lab, they start print jobs and instruct library users on how the technology works. During the past year Friends of the Library developed new fundraising strategies and expanded programs such as the Amazon Book Sale. Booth is taking a hiatus as volunteers are not allowed in the library during shelter-in-place orders. But true to form, she’s keeping occupied. Along with tennis, gardening and her book club, she is an active member of the Assistance League of Sierra Foothills. And she hopes to get back to traveling soon. But her No. 1 passion? Reading, of course. “Since my Nancy Drew days, I’ve always enjoyed a good mystery,” she said. Some recent reads she recommends are “Where the Crawdads Sing” and “Little Fires Everywhere.” And one book on her nightstand just isn’t enough. “The three books by my bed are ‘The Hamilton Affair,’ ‘Wolf Hall’ and ‘One Good Turn.’” For information on volunteering at the library visit eldoradolibrary.org.

In addition, Oak Meadow Elementary teacher Linda Ghilarducci has worked with Rhyan from the beginning through funding difficulties and other bureaucratic obstacles. Of involving his students with these projects, “I just enjoy kids,” Rhyan said. “I think it’s so important for us to understand the natural world and to be scientifically and environmentally literate — and to learn that at a young age. I think a lot of the issues we face in the world and as a country are because of the lack of that understanding, from climate change to pollution to

“Through volunteerism, Mr. Rhyan is planting the seed today for a better tomorrow,” West said of Rhyan’s efforts, adding she hopes many more will offer services to help make Rhyan’s educational facility a reality.

Recreation and Parks District. “That was a life transition,” Lowery said of those years, which led directly to his 50-year career in parks and recreation. Currently an El Dorado Hills Promise Foundation member and the El Dorado County Parks and Recreation commissioner for District 1, Lowery’s work in recreation has taken him across the country as far as Michigan and Washington, D.C. He has served as both general manager and a board member at the EDHCSD and his volunteering spans a list of organizations that boggles the mind. Rotary clubs, multiple parks and recreation associations, chambers of commerce and various task forces and committees in both Sacramento and El Dorado County, to name a few. But one project that holds a special place for Lowery is the Rotary Youth Leadership Awakening, a one-week camp to develop leadership skills for high schoolers. The Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills sends four campers each year. “To hear these young leaders’ depth of passion for the experience they receive is almost unnerving,” Lowery said of his young charges. “One even admitted she had suicidal depression before attending camp and found an inner strength she never guessed existed.” Lowery works weekly with the ORHS Interact Club, the junior branch of the Rotary Club, which helps organize the EDHCSD Easter Egg Hunt, summer concerts and other events. “A passion for volunteering develops when one learns that serving others feeds an internal need not always obvious. There is far greater satisfaction in seeing the growth and joy of others than one could ever imagine,” Lowery explained. “If literally everyone volunteered an hour or two every week, what a world we would have.” ORHS science teacher Casey Rhyan is another standout, working tirelessly to champion outdoor educational opportunities. Having taught for 25 years, the New York Creek Trail Interpretive Signs project was the culmination of an idea that all started while watching his own two children go through a school system in which science was increasingly marginalized. “All of us are born scientists,” he said. “Getting back to that inquisitive mind we all have when we’re little — I can’t imagine a better way to teach kids.” The interpretive trail signs began as a class project; students wrote and designed boards to teach about wildlife, habitats and the environment. Rhyan’s current class is designing a website to enhance the information offered on the signs. And the teacher/ coach is now realizing his longtime vision of an outdoor education facility that would be used by teachers from local schools, elementary through high school. The facility, slated to be housed at the new Bass Lake Regional Park, will be a place where teachers can use the outdoors to collect data and then transition inside to use lab equipment to finish a hands-on, inquiry based curriculum. “There will be a trail around the lake where five different mini-ecosystems already exist naturally,” Rhyan pointed out enthusiastically. “And it’s in the middle of our community, which makes it convenient for all the schools here.” Rhyan is quick to credit CSD board Director Allan Priest, CSD General Manager Kevin Loewen and ORHS Principal Aaron Palm for their efforts getting the project off

Home sales increase year-over-year despite COVID-19 Quintin Simmons National Association of Realtors WASHINGTON D.C. — Despite a dip in existing home sales in March, overall sales increased year-over-year for the ninth straight month, up 0.8% from a year ago (5.23 million in March 2019). Existing-home sales fell in March following a February that saw significant nationwide gains, according to the National Association of Realtors. While sales have declined, home prices are still solidly strong. The median existing-home price for all housing types in March was $280,600, up 8% from March 2019 ($259,700), as prices increased in every region. March’s national price increase marks 97 straight months of year-over-year gains. Total existing-home sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, dropped 8.5% from February to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 5.27 million in March. “Unfortunately, we knew home sales would wane in March due to the coronavirus outbreak,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “More temporary interruptions to home sales should be expected in the next couple of months, though home prices will still likely rise.” Total housing inventory at the end of March totaled 1.50 million units, up 2.7% from February, but down 10.2% from one year ago (1.67 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 3.4month supply at the current sales pace, up from three months in February and down from the 3.8-month figure recorded in March 2019. NAR’s most recent Flash Survey showed that 93% of sellers changed
behavior to help the homebuying transaction move forward with social distancing and necessary precautions. Properties typically remained on the market for 29 days in March, seasonally down from 36 days in February, and down from 36 days in March 2019. Fifty-two percent of homes sold in March 2020 were on the market for less than a month. First-time buyers were responsible for 34% of sales in March, up from both 32% in February and 33% in March 2019. NAR’s 2019 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers — released in late 2019 — revealed that the annual share of first-time buyers was 33%. “Despite the social distancing restrictions, with many Realtors conducting virtual open home tours and with mortgage rates on the decline, a number of first-time buyers were still able to purchase housing last month,” Yun said. Individual investors or secondhome buyers, who account for many cash sales, purchased 13% of homes in March, down from both 17% in February and 18% in March 2019. Allcash sales accounted for 19% of transactions in March, down from both 20% in February and 21% in March 2019. Distressed sales — foreclosures and short sales — represented 3% of sales in March, up from 2% in February, and unchanged from 3% in March 2019. “It is NAR’s top priority to continue to aid and assist Realtors during these unpredicted, trying times,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co., Inc., in San Francisco. “We have played an instrumental role on Capitol Hill as Congress secured multiple federal relief packages and we will continue fighting on behalf of our 1.4 million members, American consumers and the nation’s economy as
these conversations persist.” “We have seen an increase in virtual home tours, e-signings and other innovative and secure methods that comply with social distancing direc-
tives,” Malta continued. “I am confident that Realtors and brokerages will adapt, evolve and fight, ensuring the n

All this being said, the El Dorado County Association of Realtors is cognizant of the severity of the pandemic and we are doing everything we can to help slow the spread of COVID-19. To that end, the association has created a best practices and guidelines document that is distributed to all Realtors in El Dorado County to ensure we are keeping our members and their clients safe. More information can be found about this document at edcar.org. Our members have also found incredibly creative ways to work virtually with clients during this time. We have had multiple reports of clients who have done virtual tours and have even closed transactions completely remotely. Granted, certain conditions may delay or inhibit individuals from making an offer but it isn’t our place to dictate the needs of the consumer. Modern solutions have made almost all aspects of the transaction remote and our real estate professionals are here to help. The California Association of Realtors
has also produced multiple contracts and advisories related to COVID-19, which ensure that clients and agents are fully aware of all aspects of the pandemic that could impact the transaction before they even begin the process. EDCAR staff is also working remotely from home and our members are abiding by the best practices and guidelines we have distributed. On another positive note, many of our economists have predicted that residential real estate will bounce back quickly, especially in areas that are impacted less by COVID-19. El Dorado County has been incredibly fortunate in our confirmed case projections and the success of our social distancing protocols will, in our opinion, allow our county to sustain relatively quickly compared to other areas. As of April 24 El Dorado County had only 42 confirmed coronavirus cases and 37 recoveries. Based on our population our curve is much lower than many other locations in California, so as long as we all continue to practice social distancing and work remotely as much as possible we feel optimistic for the prosperity and health of El Dorado County.
