Woodcreek Little
League All-Star
Season Begins
BY LENA WATTS HAWTHRONE
It is that time of year again. Summer is
here and Woodcreek Little League (WLL)
is gearing up for another thrilling All-Star
baseball season. The teams have been selected,
the uniforms ordered, and the players are
putting in some long hours both on the field
and in the batting cages. In her first year as
WLL President, Julie Thompson, as well as the
other Board Members are excited about the
opportunity to host the Juniors All Star and
Section 4 tournaments at Mahany Park. It is a
huge time commitment and great deal of work,
but it is well worth the effort to represent WLL
and our local community.
There will be some exciting baseball being
played by all the leagues in District 54. The
Majors team manager, Erik Hanson, states, “I
was thinking about the good fortunes in the
past. The WLL 2014 (9/10 year olds) and 2015
(10/11 year olds) State Champions faced many
good teams and quite a few great players. It
has been great to see our kids compete. This
year will be no different with stiff competition
in our district and area. I think there are
three or four teams that if they win our district
tournament would have a great chance to go
on to the western regionals. I know our kids
will bring their best effort to every game and
maybe with a little luck, we might get the
opportunity to represent the city of Roseville
in this Little League journey.”
Woodcreek Little League congratulates
the 2016 All-Stars!
The 9/10 year old team is managed
by Gary Culverson and the players include
Coy Clements, Cooper Cornelius, Conner
Culverson, Ash Erskine, Dylan Green, Logan
Hearney, Tyler Hennessy, Tyler Hutchinson,
Ryan Le, EJ Peck, Dylan Perault, Joseph
Terranova, and Ryan Sisso. Their tournament
will be hosted by the El Dorado Little League
at Jeff Mitchell Field.
The 11 year old team is managed by
Darryl Ruggiero and the players are Ashton
Burnett, Jacob Carr, Cody Cooper, Dylan Dass,
Bryce Evans, Grant Gilley, Garrett Krupp,
Jaden Schauer, Martin Seradich, Zachary
Seymore, Ethan Sullivan, Gavin Ruggiero,
and Jacob Youell. Their games will be hosted
by Consumnes River Little League at Stone
House Field in Rancho Murieta.
The MAJOR team is managed by Erik
Hanson and coaches Bob Blankenship and
Doug Sloan. The players are Tyler Blankenship,
Connor Enslow, Jadon Groves, Gerald
Hanson, Jake Harvey, Isaac Hawthrone, Zack
Malone, Nico Nielsen, Lucas Patrick, Joseph
Plise, Tyler Roberts, Braeden Sloan, and Caden
Thompson. Their tournament games will be
played at Mann Field and hosted by Folsom

less than last year’s final budget of $816

The county’s fiscal year runs from July

In a first, this year’s budget describes

and programs, expanding upon and
complementing the historical expense
presentation by department. The move is
intended to help residents better understand
how their tax dollars are being spent, in order
to empower them to have more say in how
the county prioritizes its spending.
The 2016-2017 proposed budget:
• Prioritizes economic development
with funding for the Sunset Area Plan and
the Tahoe Area Plan, critical planning
documents outlining future opportunities
and strategies for sustainable development
in these key areas.
• Addresses
countywide
homelessness by allocating funding of
nearly $1.9 million for homeless needs and
services, and additional public safety and
public health resources.
• Furthers sustainable development,
setting aside $925,000 to finish the Placer
County Conservation Plan. When approved,
the plan will result in a larger, more
contiguous area of open space and natural
habitat, as well as a more streamlined, costeffective and predictable permitting process
to promote sustainable future development
in unincorporated areas of the county and
the City of Lincoln.
• Helps reverse the erosion of library
service, and provides one-time funding
of $175,000 to replace outdated library
materials. In line with the library strategic
plan both the Loomis and Meadow Vista
Libraries will be recommended for closure.
Placer County staff continues to work with
the Town of Loomis toward a plan for the
future use of the Loomis Library facility,
and with the Meadow Vista Municipal
Advisory Council Library Subcommittee
about alternative library service deliveries.
• Forwards implementation of the
Criminal Justice Master Plan, completing
the phased-in expansion of the South Placer
Adult Correctional Facility campus by 180
beds, and building a new booking station. It
also funds further exploration of a proposed
new crime lab and coroner’s facility.
• Reduces anticipated spending on
capital and other infrastructure projects by
$31.7 million (17.2 percent) from last year as
a number of maintenance and construction
projects wind down, most notably the Auburn
Animal Services facility and the Kings Beach
Commercial Core Improvement Project to
revitalize the downtown area of the North
Lake Tahoe community.
The proposed budget will serve as the
interim spending plan when the new fiscal
year begins July 1. A final budget, reflecting
adjusted revenue and expense figures from
the previous fiscal year, will be presented to
the board for approval in September.
The Placer County 2016-2017 proposed
budget is available on Placer County’s website.

Olympian Visits the Woodcreek SeaWolves
BY ED BAZO
In 2008, Jason Lezak visited Beijing.
While he was there, he stopped by at the
Beijing National Aquatics Center and swam
a few races. Lezak anchored the American
4x100 freestyle relay team, swimming the
fastest 100m relay split in history to give the
Americans the gold.
On May 29th, Jason Lezak visited
Roseville and stopped by the Roseville
Aquatics Center. Instead of swimming against
the best racers the world has to offer, he
jumped into the pool with 50 swimmers from
the Woodcreek SeaWolves. The eight time
Olympic medalist inspires the next generation
of swimming greats by holding swim clinics
for recreational swim teams. The SeaWolves
swimmers, ranging in age from 5 to 18 years
old, were treated to an autograph and photo

Getting to know you...
Kok Family
BY DIANNE CARLISLE
The Republic of Singapore is
often referred to as the Lion City and
the Garden City. It is a global city as
well as a sovereign state in Southeast
Asia and is the world’s only island city/
state. Singapore’s territory consists of a
diamond-shaped main island along with
62 other islets.
Kelvin, Joleen and their son Jeron
Kok, all lived in Singapore until 14 years
ago, when they made the decision to
move to the United States. Jeron was just
four years old then, and the differences
between the education in Singapore
and the U.S. was a cause of concern for
the couple.
“We were worried for Jeron,” said
Joleen. “Having him go through a totally
different education system from what we were
used to left us somewhat apprehensive.”
The education system in Singapore is
British based and is the product of a distinctive,
unique set of historical, institutional and
cultural influences. This system has a national
curriculum, with examinations held at the
end of primary and secondary schooling
that determine where students are placed,
something that isn’t practiced in the United
Jeron Kok — WHS 2016
Valedictorian
Joleen, Jeron and Kelvin Kok
States.
But their worries were unfounded as
Jeron thrived and excelled throughout his
school years. At Woodcreek High School
(WHS), Jeron was a member of the National
Honor Society and a member of the California
Scholarship Federation (CSF). As part of the
CSF requirements, Jeron performed numerous
community services throughout his high
school years inclusive of his participation in
the Earth Day Festival during his sophomore
and junior years.
He was very involved in speech and
debate during high school, beginning
in his sophomore year when he joined
the debate team. He qualified for the State
Championships in his senior year.
“When I started speech and debate, I
was nervous when I had to go up,” said Jeron.
“But during my senior year, the nervousness
disappeared. There was some adrenaline, but it
felt kind of natural getting up there and talking
in front of people.”
Jeron was a part of WHS’s freshmen
mentoring program. The mentoring program
helps freshmen as they transition from middle
school to high school, making sure that each 9th
grade student has a weekly half hour session
with a teacher mentor, two student mentors
and a group of additional freshman students.
Jeron also played tennis during his
sophomore year of high school. His final
crowning achievement was being chosen as
valedictorian for WHS’s Class of 2016. Jeron
will attend college at UCLA this fall and is
considering majoring in neuroscience.
“The fact that he did so good, makes us
feel amazing,” said Joleen.
Joleen and Kelvin have been married
for 20 years. They met in Singapore when
they worked for the same company there and
started to date during that time.
When they first moved to the United
States, they lived in San Jose, California, where
they worked in the electronics manufacturing
industry. Due to work requirements, there was
a need to relocate to the Roseville area after
just one year in San Jose.
Kelvin and Joleen have lived in Roseville
for many years, and although it is different
from where they grew up, they like the quiet,
more country-like area.
“The people are very nice and friendly,”
said Joleen.
As they prepare for Jeron to leave for
college, Kelvin and Joleen know that he will
continue to excel and are excited to see what
the future holds for their family.

recognized? Well, just let us know.

California just had an election at the 2016
Convention in Irvine California for new state
officers. We have a new CFWC State President
Toby Kahan and our own Dori Kelsey is now the
CFWC State First Vice President – President
Elect. Dori serves as a club chairman and
helps where ever she can.
With this new slate of officers comes
new projects that the State President wants
to emphasize. President Toby’s husband died
from Cancer and received wonderful care and
treatment at the Los Angeles area treatment
center called the City of Hope. This hospital
and research center is the place she chose
to highlight for her two years as California
Federation of Women’s Clubs’ President.
City of Hope is a founding member of
the National Comprehensive Cancer Network
and has received high recognition from the
National Cancer Institute for their research
and formation of new protocols that advance
care and treatment of cancer. This hospital
works on the treatment and also helps the
patients afterwards so that they can return to a
full life. In their literature you can read about
how they also work to help the soul.

Last month we talked about trees with
undesirable characteristics – with the promise
that this month we would look at trees to love.
This month lists a few – but, of course, there
are many.
Since our lots are relatively small, my
favorites are likewise small. No sense planting
large trees on small lots. So, here we go
with some recommendations, all of which
are planted in our yard and are performing
beautifully.
Dogwood [Cornus Florida]. This
deciduous tree comes with pink or white flowers
in April – we prefer the white ones but both
are lovely. When young, they will appreciate
some relief from the hot afternoon sun of
summer but as they get older, that doesn’t
seem to matter too much. They grow readily
in Georgia under the tall Georgia Pines where
their branches reach for light. Here, we have
found that they flourish if given plenty of room
and sun as well. Our experience has been
that plenty of sun results in lots of blossoms
the next April.
Arbutus. This tree is not at all thirsty, is
evergreen, has a nice shape, and looks good
all year long. The Unedo is known as the
Strawberry tree, producing fruit that resembles
the berries. We prefer the Marina – but both
are outstanding. The dark red trunk and
branches add interest just like the clusters of
understated flowers.
Chinese Pistache [Pistachia Chinensis].
This hardy specimen is a favorite of CalTrans
as you will see in a number of our road
interchanges. The compound leaves are not
troublesome – you can leave them on the
ground as mulch. The autumn colors in this
deciduous tree are spectacular and range from
yellow and orange to deep red – sometimes on
the same tree!
Japanese Maple [Acer Palmatum]. Last
month we spoke about the Maples as being
9. The top three winners in each category will be contacted by phone. Winners will be asked to submit their poems
electronically, by email attachment. Winners will read their poems on Sunday, October 9, 2016, at the Voices of Lincoln event
to be held from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., Lincoln Public Library at Twelve Bridges (Willow Room), 485 Twelve Bridges Drive, Lincoln,
CA. Winners also will be presented with a commemorative chapbook of the winning poems.
too thirsty or too large for us – but not this
one. The common seedling is a wonderful
tree for our area and can be pruned to please
the eye. It also has laceleaf forms that we
love and, frankly, it is hard to find undesirable
characteristics for either form. The seedling
form is so tough that some folks use it for
bonsai plantings.
Crape Myrtle [Lagerstroemia Indica].
The reason we see these trees and shrubs in our
area in such great numbers is easy to explain.
They thrive in this climate. They come in a
wide variety of colors and those colors show
off in the hot days of summer when most other
plants are gasping for cooler air or water! It’s
deciduous with attractive fall foliage. The one
downside is that aphids love this tree. So, when
they show up, use a systemic product (Bayer
makes a great one) and the tree will drink it
into its branches - followed by Adios Aphids!
Improved Meyer Lemon [Citrus]. Past
articles have dealt with what food items are
recommended for our area – and this one
stands with Tomato plants at the top of the
list. Citrus trees are evergreens, this lemon
is a little sweeter and juicier than those in the
store, the skin is thinner and easier to peel, and
Meyer Lemons are EASY to grow and prolific.
So, if it is a cup of tea in the afternoon, or a
whiskey sour later, or your favorite seafood
dish – make sure you don’t have to run to the
store for your lemon. Just take one off your
Meyer Lemon tree!
