An 8-year-old boy in El Dorado County has become an internet sensation. Videos of him having fun at a skate park with his dad have gone viral. The faster, the better, for Atticus Edmunds who thrives on speed, despite having limited mobility.

“I was nervous at first on our first drop in but he came up and he was just so happy and excited,” Jared Edmunds, Atticus’ father told ABC10.

On Saturday, February 6, Ponderosa High School took first place as a team during this year’s Academic Decathlon, held at Oak Ridge High School. The Academic Decathlon provides academic competitions that promote learning and academic excellence through teamwork. The program includes students of all academic abilities and achievement levels. Students are tested in the areas of art, economics, essay, interview, literature, math, music, science and speech, and it’s capped off with a Super Quiz — the highlight of the decathlon, where the public is invited to attend.

“The Carson and Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company (aka Lake Tahoe narrow gauge RR) went from Glenbrook on the Tahoe East Shore and ended at Spooner Summit where a giant log flume sent the lumber down to a mill south of Carson City. You can’t hike it from Glenbrook due to the gated golfing community, but you can access the right-of-way by hiking down toward Skunk Harbor,” Browne said.
