Presentation for proposed development of the
Rio Linda Arch intersection Aug. 22
The Rio Linda Elverta Community
Planning Advisory Committee
(RLE CPAC) will hear a presentation
for a proposed project by the
owners of three of the four corners
at the Rio Linda Arch intersection
at their regular meeting August 22
in the Depot, 6730 Front St. in Rio
Linda. The meeting will begin at
7 p.m.
This presentation was scheduled for
the July meeting but was postponed
to the August meeting at the request
of the project proponents.
John and Carl Brothers have been
seeking to develop this property for
By Charlea Moore
several years and would like to get
the community's comments on their
new plans for their corners of the
Rio Linda Arch intersection at M
St. and Rio Linda Blvd.
The public is encouraged to attend
this meeting and give their comments
on this important project.
This is a presentation only and no
action will be taken by the CPAC
but it is an excellent opportunity
for the public to find out what is
planned for what is probably Rio
Linda's most important intersection.

Park District
loses Recreation
Manager
By Charlea Moore
Denis Nishihara leaves RLERPD after
a little over two years of passionate
Parks advocacy for Rio Linda Elverta
Faced with the necessity to reduce
budget expenses by at least $60,000
in order to balance the 2012-2013
budget, the Rio Linda Elverta Recreation
and Park District Board of
Directors voted unanimously to
eliminate the Recreation Manager
position and create a Recreation
Supervisor position with a salary
reduction of nearly $7,000.00.
Although the Board was presented
with other options at their June 20
meeting, none preserved the Recreation
Manager position or salary.
The Directors agreed that there was
simply no other place to cut and still
have sufficent maintenance, office
and administrative staff with the required
supplies and services to run
the Park District.
With property tax revenues continuing
to decline for the foreseeable
future and with salaries, wages
and benefits comprising 63% of the
District's total budget, the directors
felt there was no other option that
would be fiscally responsible.
In an unfortunate twist, the Administrator
and Park Supervisor were
both scheduled for vacations in
early July. The Recreation Manager
was willing to stay through August
31, 2012 but there was a sudden decision
to immediately terminate access
by the Recreation Manager to
all the Park District operations and
facilities.
As a result there was literally no opportunity
for the community to say
farewell to one of the most passionate
Parks advocates that the community
of Rio Linda Elverta has
ever been privileged to have.

In this months National Geographic there is a big
section of all the languages that are on the brink
of being lost forever.
All this got me to thinking that in addition to all
the national languages there are many languages
dealing with our jobs. Plumbers, electricians,
mechanics, carpenters, the list is endless even
the language in wrappers on packaging.
I am looking at two granola bar wrappers. There
are colored dots along the center seam of the “Fiber
Plus” bar. The dots are in a certain sequence,
dark pink, red, pale yellow, peach, teal blue, teal
blue, brown, black yellow, yellow, lt. pink, red,
gray, black.
The other bar “Chewy Dipps” has colored bars
of six squares along the end seams. Their colors
on one end are squares lt. blue, dk. blue, lt. pink,
dk. pink, lt. yellow, bright yellow. The squares
on the other end are black, gray, orange, lt. orange,
purple and lt. purple.
Response to Dr Phil’s
comment on horse
ownership as exercise
Note: This ditty made the email rounds several
years ago and we print it here for your amusment.
Ads for weight-loss programs saturate print media
and the airwaves. Even TV talk shows devote
time to the battle of the bulge.
I caught part of a Dr. Phil episode in which the
prominent self-help guru was evaluating the situation
of one over weight guest.
The woman commented that she’d like to buy a
horse so she could get exercise via riding. That’s
great for the horse,” responded Dr. Phil drolly,
“But what good is it for you?” Obviously, Dr.
Phil has missed out on the cardiovascular workout
we women get attempting to get into a sports
bra and riding pants!
Clearly, the good doctor doesn’t own a horse,
at least, not the right horse. A quiet, well-broke,
agreeable mount may indeed not offer much in
the way of fitness training. But, the right horse
(and most of us have owned 1 or 2, haven’t we?)
will provide a body-building, cardiovascular enhanced
workout that would make Richard Simmons
envious.
Allow me to explain... With the right horse, you
begin your fitness program by walking out to the
pasture. As you stride briskly, you carry the halter
and lead rope behind you, pushed up high on
your back so the lead rope doesn’t drag. The purpose
of this is to tone your chest and upper-arm
muscles (because you’re not fooling your horse
- for he knows what you carry).
As you approach to within a few feet of him, he’ll
walk slowly away from you - but at a pace just
so you can’t reach him - then stop. This will be
repeated several times in succession, until you’re
ready to jog. At that point, because you own just
the right horse, he will trot, then gallop around
the pasture. If you’re at the advanced level of
fitness, you may continue chasing after him for
maximum aerobic benefits (or, just stop and start
throwing rocks at him to give your rotator cuffs
a workout. Make sure you switch throwing arms,
not only is this a benefit to you, your horse will
think it hilarious).
Beginners may prefer to toss the halter and lead
on the ground, bend forward from the waist, and
engage in heavy breathing and chanting (that’s
what we’ll call it, anyway -- chanting) as the
horse continues to circle the field. For those of
you that have experience with this exercise, you
may choose to throw the halter and lead, walk
briskly, bend, pickup, repeat. When the horse
determines you’ve had enough of this warm-up
session, he’ll allow you to catch him.
Now comes the total upper-body workout of
grooming. The right horse, of course, will be
caked in dried mud. The cement-like consistency
of it will require work-to-exhaustion effort
of your biceps and triceps. NOTE: this exercise
has added value, the dried mud will stick to your
face with perspiration, instant facial!
Ever wonder just what those colored dots and
bars are saying?
I know, my Mother said that I have always wondered
about some of the weirdest things.
August 2012 North Country News Page 3
Horse
Laughs
Next comes the bending,
stretching, and toning of hoof-picking. Bend
over, pick up the horse’s left front foot, then be
prepared to jump back as he stomps it back down
to the ground, narrowly missing your foot. (Keep
your knees bent as you jump, to protect your
lower back.) Reach down and pick up the foot
again, hopping about with the horse to maintain
your grip as you attempt to pick what seems to
be dirt mixed with Super Glue from the hoof.
Eventually the horse may stand still; you may be
chanting by this time. Repeat the entire circuit 3
more times, with the remaining feet.
Once you can stand erect again, it’s time for the
insect repellent exercise. True, with this one,
your horse may actually get more of a workout
than you do, but you certainly get more of the
repellent. It goes like this: Squirt!-circle- circle.
Squirt!-circle- circle. Squirt!-circle- circle--- and
so on, until you’re completely misted with repellent
and chanting ‘whoa you "%*#@%#&"
whoa’. To receive maximum benefit from this
exercise, make sure you are at the beginning of
a deep inhalation during the ‘squirt’ cycle and
exhale after the last chanting ‘whoa’. here is
where I would add some high leg kicking aka..
belly kicking the crap out of the SOB!!!
With the right horse, saddling up provides both
aerobic and strength building benefits. The trick
is to keep your feet moving as you heft the saddle
blanket over and over (and over), trying to keep
it in place on a moving target. The blanket exercise
warms you up for the saddle exercise, for
which the routine is the same, only the weight is
much greater - perfect for buffing those hard-totone
shoulder muscles. More high leg kicking
may be required at this point.
Now comes the mounting exercise. With the
right horse, it’s left leg up, hop-hop-hop, left leg
down, heavy breathing. Left leg up, hop-hophop,
left leg down, heavy breathing. For balance,
go around to the other side and continue
the exercise (right leg up, hop-hop-hop, heavy
breathing, right leg down, heavy breathing, etc.).
When your heart rate begins to exceed your target
range, look for a bucket.
Bend over, pick it up, place it upside-down next
to the horse, wait for the horse to move away,
then bend over, pick it up again, place it next to
the horse, and so on. NOTE: this is a cooling
down routine not to be confused with the warm
up pasture-routine.
When the horse deems you’ve had enough of
these repetitions, he’ll stand still and allow you
to actually mount. At this point, of course, you’ll
be too exhausted to ride and your facial mask is
dropping off in chunks. It’s best not to overdo it,
so dismount, grab a glass of wine, and head in to
recover in a bubble bath.
I smile because I don’t know
what the heck is going on!
Now listen up. Those people that have critters
and do not provide proper shade or shelter for
them are on my really, really cruel person list.
As I drive around Elverta and Rio Linda I see

Classic literature series continues at
Sacramento Central Library
Notable Books, Sacramento
Public Library’s series covering
classic literature and led by English
professors (but without the tests,
papers or tuition of a traditional literature
class) continues on Sunday,
August 12 and Sunday, September 9
at the Central Library, 828 I Street,
Sacramento. Nancy Sweet, Associate
Professor of English at California
State University, Sacramento,
will lead a two-part discussion on
Edith Wharton’s classic book, The
House of Mirth.
First published in 1905, the
novel tells the story of Lily Bart, a
woman torn between a love for luxury
and the luxury of genuine love.
Professor Sweet will discuss the
following aspects of Wharton's acclaimed
book:
Sunday, August 12 at 2 p.m.:
Having It All in the Gilded Age:
many animals that have no shade or
shelter of any kind. This is terrible
and I advocate staking the owners
out in the sun for a day or two. This
might improve their attitude toward
all critters.
I would like to print the names
and addresses of those that I see
but the list would be too long.
you know who you are and others
know who you are.
Another thing, everyone knows
that when out walking your dog
that it should be on a leash. So, if
everyone knows this why do I see
so many on the bike trail running
loose?
Again, everyone knows that you
are to pick up your dog’s poop,
but does anyone? you can even
be fined if someone chooses to
turn you in.
Wealth, Marriage and The House
of Mirth. Attendees will talk about
Wharton's representations of gender,
marriage and "conspicuous consumption."
(No need to have finished
the novel at this time as the speaker
will avoid spoiling the ending.)
Sunday, September 9 at 2
p.m.: Lily Bart and the Furies: Seduction,
Terror, and Self Destruction
in The House of Mirth.
Following Professor Sweet’s
talk, participants will break into
small groups to discuss the novel.
Former graduate students and faculty
from the CSUS English Department
will serve as discussion leaders.
Metered street parking is
free on Sundays.

I have not seen one person clean
up after their dog. Do you not
realize that others walk the same
trail with their small children? It
makes the recreation area a very
unsanitary place for others not
to mention driving the wild life
away. Shame on you!!!
I know some of you think I am a

you have the chance, one day you

Viv’s Election statement
I am running for re-election because I believe
the RLECWD is a viable on going public agency
and very important to our communities. The
district still has many things that need fixing and
is doable. When elected in 2008 I had many
goals, as you all know, but to my and others surprise
we found the district was financially broke.
It took awhile to learn all the ins & outs, to get
the ball rolling again.
I believe that truth and honesty comes first. I
am dedicated to making this happen. Through
forensic audits, investigations and diligent dedication to detail many
detrimental practices concerning the operation of the RLECWD were
exposed.
Policy violations in the form of vacation & sick leave cash outs were
found, this was stopped. Stealing and selling old water meters was documented
and stopped. The unlawful use of district credit cards for personal
use was discovered and stopped. The California Department of Public
Health notified the district of several years of unreported water tests, that
has been corrected.
Improvements have been made, Well #15 almost on line, new transmission
lines installed, some new policies in place but many more need to be
made. The district is slowly headed in the right direction.
I believe transparency in all things concerning the RLECWD is most
important to you and I will continue to keep you informed.
I would like the opportunity to finish the job. I thank you in advance for
your vote come November!!! Vivien Spicer Johnson

Stories & History
Wanted
If you have a local story about the history
of Rio Linda please email to:
Charhorseranch@aol.com or
NCNews328@aol.com or
jkbfa@sbcglobal.net
Stories, memories and history are needed

The North Country News would like to

Centennial year of 2012.
LET’S
DIG IN !!!
_ _ _ _ _
Just because we have had cooler
days does not mean that your
plants will use less water. This is
their growing season and a continual
water supply is important.
Tomatoes will get blossom end
rot if not watered properly. holding
off water and then watering
heavy will cause trees to split or
limbs to break.
Keep to a steady watering plan,
all summer long, no matter the
temp.
_ _ _ _ _
Every year someone asks for the
chart that tells which fruit ripens
before or after picking. here it
is:
Fruits that DO NOT ripen after
being picked they just get soft:
Blackberries, cherries, dates, grapes,
citrus, olives, pineapples, raspberries,
strawberries and watermelon.
Fruits that ripen in color, texture
and juiciness - if picked fully mature
- but DO NOT improve in
sweetness or flavor:
Apricots, blueberries, cantaloupes,
casabas, crenshaws, figs, honeydews,
nectarines, passion fruit,
peaches and plums.
Fruits that DO get sweeter after
harvest:
Apples, cherimoyas, kiwifruits,
mangoes, papayas and pears.
We all know that Avacados do not
ripen on the tree but ripen at room
temperature.
Bananas ripen nearly every way after
harvest.
I have found if you place un-bruised,
green bananas in the fridge they will
keep three weeks at least, only turning
dark on the outside.

“I liked the ice cream!” Squealed Christopher Grandinetti.
“I liked meeting the artist who made the mural.” States one of the girl
scouts.
There was close to 50 people who showed up at the decorated Tummy's.
There were Centennial Specials to enjoy and Rhonda and her crew did an
outstanding job. Among the members of the committee were the some of
the artists who did the mural who handed out certificates of appreciation.
There was also the honorary Mayor, the Rio Linda Girls Softball team and
the local Girl Scouts Troop. The Girl Scouts did some dancing (since it
was a flash mob), and went to tour the Mural with the now available Key to
the Mural. See the "Key to the Mural" on page 12 of this paper or pick up
a copy at Tummy's or at the Rio Linda Farmers' Market & Peddlers' Fair
every Thursday in Depot Park from 5-8 p.m.
“It would be cool to have more murals in town.” A young resident states.
There was great food, great conversation, a video of the making of the
mural, and a few words of thanks.
We want to thank Tummy's for their ongoing support of
the Centennial Celebration.
I'm sure there will be many repeat customers.
There was talk of "where do we MOB next?"....Stay tuned..........

hello, my name is Amy Springer. I am 13 years old and I am a
lifelong resident of Elverta. I enjoy all sorts of activities including softball,
basketball, volleyball, and community service for several different organizations.
Last September I began my journey in the Pleasant Grove 4-h
club. I decided to start this journey with a Sheep Project as well as gardening,
jewelry, and baking projects.
I have learned this year from the wonderful leaders in my project
how to care for my market lamb, herbie. I take special care to feed him
twice a day at about the same time every day. Knowing this is best for
his digestion and weight gain. I also take time to practice walking with
him on my families property to ensure he's getting adequate exercise as
well as practicing my showmanship skills. Although I know he's a market
lamb and will be sold at the auction, I will still be sad to see him go on his
way.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to share in my
first market lamb showing and auction. I will be showing my wether at
the yuba Sutter Fair on Thursday, August 2nd at 8am. The fair will also
be hosting the auction which will take place on Saturday, August 4th at
8:30am. I would appreciate any support you can offer. If you have any
questions about the fair, please visit their website at www.ySFAIR.com.
If you have any questions regarding my specific lamb or any of
my other projects, please feel free to contact me at: mykellspringer@sbcglobal.net.
Thank you so much for your time and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Amy Springer

The Key to the Mural
By Charlea Moore
The artist who created the design
of the Rio Linda Centennial Quilt
Mural, Sharon King, has created a
"Key" for those interested in what
all the myriad images represent and
how the images relate to Rio Linda's
history.
This Key is available at Tummy's
Sub Shop, at the Rio Linda Elverta
Community Center and at the Rio
Linda Farmers' Market & Peddlers'
Fair.
At the recent Flash Mob of Tummy's
Sub Shop, the Girl Scouts who are
also celebrating their Centennial,
were thrilled to locate their symbol
on the Rio Linda Mural.
As they read the Key they began
to realize that they are a part of the
history - the story - of Rio Linda.
It is the celebration of the story of
Rio Linda and all the thousands of
personal stories that makes the Rio
Linda community so special and
unique.
Please consider adding your story
to the rich tapestry of Rio Linda by
submitting a story to the Rio Linda
Centennial Book or to the Time
Capsule.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity
to pass your story into the
future for your descendants to find
and read or see.
On page 2 of this issue you will find
information for submitting photos
and items to the Centennial Time
Capsule which will be opened in
2062, fifty years from now.
On page 9 there is information on
how to submit stories and photos to
the Centennial history book.
Don't forget, the history of Rio Linda
is being made today and you are
part of that history.
If you don't contribute now you will
miss your chance to let the future
know what happened to you and
what you thought was important.
Due to the time it will take to process
the time capsule materials all
submissions must be received by
September 1, 2012.
The Centennial book must be assembled
and printed and so there is
also a deadline for submissions to
the Centennial book.
This month, August 2012, is the
last month that submissions can be
accepted for publication in Rio Linda's
Centennial book.

Rio Linda Elverta
Community Water
District...Up-Date !!!
Editorial Opinion by......... Viv
It seems the district takes two steps
forward and slides back three. Four
examples are listed below.
1. A couple of months back the
General Manager, Mary henrici
made the statement that water rates
would have to be increased in order
to pay the bills. She had just finished
her proposed budget and the
bottom line was much more than
the 2011/2012 budget. Well Cathy
and I spent quite some time going
over this proposed budget and with
out votes managed to cut at least
$130,000+- from the total thus removing
the need to increase water
rates again. It seems the mentality
is not to try and save money but to
spend, spend and then just increase
your water rates to cover the costs.
In my opinion there are many more
cuts that could have been made but
you do the best that you can.
2. Recently the water board spent
several meetings working on a new
contract for general manager, Mary
henrici. This new contract is for
two years and includes a $5,000 per
year increase in salary. The ratepayers
will be paying not only the
district’s share of the PERS retirement
policy but will also be paying
half of the GM’s share. There is a
very generous medical contribution
of $1,050 per month plus several
thousand dollars for conference expenses
and future training seminars,
all for the GM. Altogether a very
generous package. This contract
was approved by a 3/2 vote at the
May 2012 meeting. Voting for the
contract was directors Jerry Trautman,
Francis Caron and daughter
Courtney Caron. Cathy hood and
I, Vivien Johnson voted no.
Now get this, at the very same time
this contract was being worked on
the general manager, Mary henrici,
unbeknown by some directors, applied
for the position of general
manager at the same district she
resigned from in 2011!!! Is this
fraud???
3. Next the district is spending
$20,000 +- to save $1,600 +-. how,
you say?
Well, Joe Sherrill, our former GM,
upon being terminated applied for
unemployment. The district denied
the claim and EDD ruled in favor
of Joe Sherrill. Board President,
Jerry Trautman, Francis Caron and
his daughter Courtney Caron supported
appealing this decision and
now a judge is hearing the appeal.
The district/ratepayers will foot
the bill for depositions, legal
briefs and attorney fees all to
save $1,600+- dollars.
The same three directors, Jerry
Trautman, Francis Caron and
daughter Courtney Caron, just
wasting ratepayers/your money
again and again.
4. Rumors fly, special meetings
are held with the district’s
GM, Mary henrici, Board President
Jerry Trautman and others,
LAFCO is still working to dissolve
the district by any means
they can and Sac Suburban Water
District still denies they want
our district. Around and around
we go wasting time and money,
your money. All should be putting
their noses to the grind stone
and thinking of ways to continue
to improve the district and cut
costs.
In my opinion “they” are all talking
out of both sides of their mouths.
Frustration levels keep going up
with all the lies and denials. I will
continue to keep you posted.
The RLECWD is paying their bills,
it has a balanced budget, a new well
is set to go on line by October and
Cathy & I are working diligently to
solve the rest of the district’s problems.
It is too bad that, from her actions,
the district’s GM appears not to be
on board. It appears three directors
Jerry Trautman, Francis Caron and
his daughter Courtney Caron, by
their actions, care very little about
expenses and have caused all these
suits to be filed creating horrendous
legal fees. Many district employees
appear to talk the talk but do
not walk the walk by not supporting
cost savings attempts to streamline
operations.
The election is coming and once
again those that foot the bill will have
a second chance. Otherwise, in the
near future I predict RLECWD will
no longer exist and the water rates
will once again be increased….. To
be continued……Viv

Vivien
As a long time resident and ratepayer
of the Rio Linda area, I would
like to thank water board directors
Vivien Johnson and Cathy hood for
their “Taking One For The Team”
by lasting through the unprecedented
criticism and abuse that board
members Francis Caron, Courtney
Caron and occasionally board President
Jerry Trautman have exhibited
towards them.
Director Francis Caron’s vile threats
and assaults on other directors and
public members is not becoming
of his position as an elected public
official. It appears that his daughter,
Courtney Caron is cut from the
same cloth. her outright deception
and “In your Face” disrespectful attitude
combined with the water district’s
attorney covering up her illegal
residence is an insult to “All Rio
Linda/Elverta” ratepayer’s rights.
Thank you, director’s Vivien Johnson
and Cathy hood for looking
after those of us that are unable to
directly participate in the decision
making process that you two have
endured.
I hope and pray that neither of you
get discouraged nor give up our
fight. Please assure us that you will
run for re-election this November.

40 recent Twin Rivers graduates got to shop for $300 in dorm
supplies with a favorite teacher, coach, counselor or staff
member at Target in Natomas on July 2. Linens, alarm clock,
cleaning and office supplies were just a few of the items on
the recommended shopping list at Project DREAM’s Third
Annual College Bound Shopping Spree.
All of these students participated in the College Bound 101
class offered by Project DREAM this past spring to understand
the basics of college housing, securing financial aid,
and making the emotional transition to college. They have
also overcome a variety of family, socioeconomic, and societal
challenges on their way to qualifying for college.
“I got everything I need for my dorm,” said Alana Gerasimchuk,
a senior from Grant Union high School that plans on
attending UC Davis in the fall. “Obviously I am very excited
for college, to go out and start a new life.”
20 of the students also received a wireless laptop computer. College Bound
scholarship recipients are eligible to receive an additional $100 gift card
if they send in their first semester grades to confirm that they have made
the transition to college and are making progress towards their academic
goals.
Project DREAM (Developing Resiliency through Education, the Arts and
Mentoring) is a private non-profit that supports enrichment activities in the
schools and communities within Twin Rivers Unified School District. To

New TRUSD Board Takes Oath of Office
Front Row from left: Michael Baker, representing area one (East Foothill Farms);
Rebecca Sandoval, representing area six (North Sacramento West); Linda Fowler, J.D.,
representing area seven (North Sacramento East); Cortez Quinn, representing area five
(North Natomas and Del Paso Heights).
Second Row from left: Bob Bastion, representing area four (Elverta, Rio Linda, and

John Dexter, representing area two (West Foothill Farms).
The Oath of Office was administered on July 10 at the Twin Rivers Unified
School District to the seven-member Board of Trustees, including three
incumbents. Twin Rivers is governed by an elected Board of Trustees that
represent geographic areas, based on the elected member’s address of residence.
The Board of Trustees is elected by the community to provide leadership
and citizen oversight of the district. According to the adopted bylaws, the
Board shall ensure that the district is responsive to the values, beliefs, and
priorities of the Twin Rivers community.
The first official business of the new Board at their first meeting July 10
was to elect officers. Cortez Quinn was selected as President, Rebecca Sandoval
will serve as Vice President, and Michael Baker as Board Clerk.
Taking a Reading Road Trip
Orchard School
Summer Literacy Journey
Every Wednesday morning, the library at Orchard Elementary School is
bursting with children, parents, and grandparents. They come to check out
books, use the computers, and go on a “road trip” of sorts.
Orchard Librarian Julie Branson designed the road trip theme so that students
have the opportunity to learn about other states. She solicited adults
who have either visited or lived in those states to be tour guides. They
provide the students
with information
about the state,
show travel pictures,
tell stories,
and answer questions.
The students
also receive a small
souvenir and get to
make a craft that
symbolizes each
state.
Oranges, sea shells,
and alligators were
a few of the discussion points on July 11 when it was heather Peacock’s
turn to serve as tour guide. heather happens to be Julie’s daughter and had
spent several years in Florida.
Joan Leavitt brings her grandchildren to the library every week. “They
come and get
books that we
read during the
week,” said
Joan. “It is an
excellent way
to keep them
thinking when
school is out.”
Every week
approximately
40 kids and 20
parents attend
the program.
The parents are interacting with their children, reading, and making the
crafts. It's an example of parent involvement at its best. Orchard teachers
come too. They bring their children along and students get to see teachers
as positive family role models.
Since the Rio Linda Library has been closed due to water damage this
summer, the Orchard Elementary School program has been a true gift,
keeping neighborhood kids connected to literature and learning.
“We've found the pathway for our families,” said Learning Coach Kelly
Jean Rhoads. “Julie’s summer reading program has connected parents,
kids, and staff to the literacy journey, and we hope to just keep growing it
for next year.”

Spotlighting Our Schools
Seniors Earn State Seal of Biliteracy
Recognizing Proficiency in Multiple Languages
Ca l i f o r n i a Pr o g r a m is fi r s t o f i t s Ki n d in t h e nat i o n
Twin Rivers Unified School District recognized 58 graduating seniors
with the State
Seal of Biliteracy.
Established to
recognize California
high school
graduates who
have attained a
high level of proficiency
in speaking,
reading, and
writing in one or
more languages
in addition to
English, the State
Seal of Biliteracy
takes the form of
a gold seal affixed
to the high school
diplomas of qualified students and a transcript notation. Twin Rivers students
are also awarded a medal that is worn at graduation.
Foothill high School students earning this award included Alex Ames,
Alden Bradley, Kelly Chávez, Leslie Dávila, Alan Edmondson, Gabriela
Galan Alvarado, Simon Golub, Sylvia haddad, Adedamola Ilori, Luís Jiménez,
Alina Malyuk, Kelly Martin, Enrique Moreno, Jessica Robinson,

Juan DeLuna, Mariana Garibay, Daniel Gonzalez, Eva Macias, Jessica
Macias, Jonathan Nevarez, Daniel Rodríguez, Michelle Rodríguez and
Karina Tinoco received the State Seal of Biliteracy.

and over 10,000 students earned the State Seal of Biliteracy this
year.
"Fluency in a second language helps our students be well-prepared to compete
in a global marketplace," Torlakson said in a California Department
of Education News Release. "The gold seal on their high school diploma
recognizes and celebrates a second language as an asset not just for themselves,
but for our state, nation, and world."

Pleasant Grove School Offers TRANSITIONAL
Kindergarten for the 2012/13 School Year
Transitional Kindergarten is a
two year kindergarten program
that builds a bridge between the
preschool years and kindergarten.
With the increasingly academic
demands of Kindergarten, some
parents wonder if their children
are ready for the traditional
Kindergarten program. Transitional
Kindergarten (TK) is designed
for (but not restricted to) students
who turn 5 between September 1
and December 2 and may not be
socially, developmentally, and/or
academically ready for traditional
Kindergarten.
Senate Bill 1381 – Kindergarten
Readiness Act of 2010 changes the
kindergarten entry age in California
from 5 years old by December 2 nd
to 5 years old by September 1 st over
the course of three years. The bill
changes the entry age to November
1 st for the 2012/13 year, October 1
for the 2012/14 year, and September
1 for the 2014/15 year and each
year thereafter.
This program will provide children
with the gift of time to build
necessary social, developmental,
and academic skills for success
throughout their school careers. The
program is based on California’s
Kindergarten Standards with focused
instruction in literacy and numeracy
along with strong emphasis on self
regulation and social engagement.
