Gentry assumes CCWD interim manager position

According to Dennis Dooley, CCWD representative for Copperopolis,  as of 6-18-12 "CCWD is without a General Manager as Joone has taken another General Manager position in Southern California where she and her family really wish to be.   She has brought stability and organization to CCWD that has been missing for too long.   She also was a very good spokesperson for the Bay-Delta and state water issues for the Mother Lode in General and Calaveras County in particular.   She will be hard to replace for this purpose.   It is my goal to find someone who will be able to cut through the "process" and get results.   I will try to keep you up on situations that I think will be of interest to Copperopolis and Copper Gazette readers.
