Homes destroyed as Caldor Fire grows to massive acreage Mountain Democrat staff A forest fire burning near Grizzly Flat and Omo Ranch grew about 4,000 acres overnight Monday, destroying structures and threatening some 2,000 more in its path. Cal Fire officials reported Tuesday morning that structures have been razed by the blaze but unsafe fire conditions are preventing teams from assessing the extent of destruction. The Grizzly Flat Post Office and Walt Tyler Elementary have burned to the ground. The fire, which is moving northeast, has reportedly burned 6,500 acres in three days. Two civilian injuries have been reported. Scanner traffic Tuesday afternoon indicated the fire may have exploded to more than 41,000 acres, but that number was not confirmed by fire officials as of press time. Containment of the fire, dubbed the Caldor Fire, remains at 0%. The community of Grizzly Flat was evacuated Monday night amid what Cal Fire officials described as “extreme fire behavior.” Additional evacuation orders are expected as the blaze could continue to burn toward multiple populated communities. Cal Fire officials say the fire is expected to impact Sly Park Lake. The Caldor Fire was first reported at about 7 p.m. Saturday on the Eldorado National Forest near Sopiago Creek Road in the Omo Ranch area. U.S. Forest Service, Cal Fire and Pioneer Fire Protection District firefighters are working around the clock to attack the “very active” fire. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office has issued mandatory evacuation orders for residents in the areas of Barney Ridge east of the community of Omo Ranch, Leoni Meadows, Pi’Pi Valley, Dogtown Creek, the Caldor area east of Omo Ranch and the Pi’Pi area to North South Road. In Grizzly Flat, Somerset and Happy Valley evacuation orders are in effect for all roads off Grizzly Flat Road east of Mt. Aukum Road and all roads off Happy Valley Road east of Mt. Aukum Road to Sciaroni Road. Pollock Pines residents east of Sly Park Road and south of Highway 50 up to Ice House Road have been ordered to evacuate. Mandatory evacuation orders are also in effect for those living north of Mormon Emigrant Trail, including the Sly Park Lake area. ■

Smoke from the Caldor Fire, which grew to 6,500 acres overnight Monday, rises over southern El Dorado County Tuesday morning.
GRIZZLY FLAT RESIDENTS DISPLACED on his back.
Thomas Frey & Eric Jarimishian Staff writer Grizzly Flat residents displaced by the Caldor Fire waited outside of roadblocks and at evacuation centers Monday for news about their homes. Bruce Duncan and his family were among those evacuated as the fire had spread to his neighborhood and burned his home. Duncan, his wife and two young children retreated Monday night to the Somerset Store parking lot on Mt. Aukum Road just outside of a closed Grizzly Flat Road.

A U.S. Forest Service fire crew responds to the Caldor Fire, which started Saturday night.
“It’s a tragedy. There is going to be a lot of people up there who are going to need help. A lot of people lost a lot of stuff.” Many who evacuated also headed to the Pleasant Valley Holiday Market or to area evacuation centers. At an evacuation center at the Diamond Springs Fire Hall one woman who did not wish to give her name but said she lives near Capps Crossing Road escaped around 10 p.m. with her two children and a friend along with their dogs and cats.
Duncan said the fire quickly spread overnight through Dogtown Creek across Huggy Bear Lane, tearing through Grizzly Flat.
“We were packing the dogs in the car and my son said it looks like it’s snowing and it was just ash raining down,” she said.
“When I left the trees were falling and embers were burning out of the ground, and this is what I got left,” said Duncan, referring to the clothes

Phyllis (Phyz) Banks Peck Dec. 26, 1929 - July 30, 2021
Phyllis “Phyz” Banks Peck, 91, passed away peacefully July 30 at Redwood Senior Care where she had been in hospice for two months. She was born Dec. 26, 1929, to Ralph and Lelia Keever of Lebanon, Kan. While she was an infant her parents moved with her to Escalon, Calif. At approximately 8 years old, her parents moved to Carmichael, Calif., where she lived until she married. She has a younger brother, David Keever, surviving and younger sister Rosemary deceased. Phyllis graduated from San Juan High School in Citrus Heights and attended Sacramento City College. Phyllis was very active in her church youth group and had a love of music and folk dancing. She met Homer Banks Jr., at a folk dance and they married in January 1950. Together they had two daughters, Kristee and Candice. She is also survived by six grandchildren; Erika Cannon, Jessica Remmert, Mark Hinton, Samuel Buerer, AJ Buerer and Joy Craven and six great-grandchildren; Konor and Eryx Cannon, Xander and Ezra Remmert, and Ilaria and Lorenzo Hinton. Homer and Phyllis were active in ski-patrol and autocross/gymkhana/rallies in the ’60s, square dancing (Apple Jacks and Jills), bowling leagues, sailing and RV travel. In the late 1980s they established a Christmas Tree farm on 20 acres near Placerville, Calif. Phyllis continued after Homer’s death in 1998 to run the Tree farm until she married Bill in 2001. After Homer passed away, Phyllis met Bill Peck and they became acquainted at the local square dance club. They married in 2001 and she has three step-daughters from Bill’s family; Carol Peck, Yvonne Scudero and their deceased, beloved sister Linda Peck. Bill and Phyllis were involved in square dancing until Phyllis’ leg injury at 84 limited her mobility and barbershop music with the Gold Rush Chorus until Bill’s hearing became too limited. Phyllis also kept active in her TOPS and bunco groups until she quarantined for COVID19. She was homebound until she was transferred to the Marshall Hospital in May 2021 where she received care for infection and dementia. She was subsequently moved to Redwood Senior Care May 25 where the resident caregivers and hospice provided loving care until she passed away on July 30 this year. A memorial service will be held Aug. 20, noon to 2 p.m. at the Federated Church in Placerville.

Pellet fatally wounds fawn Mountain Democrat staff

Forest land along Aspen Creek Tract on Echo Summit is scorched after a Bay Area woman reportedly started a fire Aug. 11.
Arson suspect arrested on Echo Summit Mountain Democrat staff A Fremont woman was booked into the El Dorado County Jail last week on suspicion of starting a wildland fire off Aspen Creek Tract near Sierra-at-Tahoe. Fire crews who were able to quickly stop the Aug. 11 fire from spreading directed El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies to possible arson suspect 43-year-old Viola Liu. Liu
Costco
was reportedly covered in scratches and soot and wearing only a bikini. El Dorado County sheriff ’s officials say Liu confessed to starting the fire and her confession was corroborated by evidence found by investigators. Lui was also reportedly in possession of a controlled substance and illegal drug paraphernalia. In addition to arson she is charged with obstructing the duties of a law enforcement officer.

several times with the wholesale warehouse club now interested in the land sandwiched between Silva Valley Parkway and Clarksville Crossing. It is on these 17-acres that Costco seeks to house a roughly 160,000-square- foot warehouse, tire center and 761 parking stalls. Costco architect Joseph Welch of MG2 reported that a proposed gas station was removed due to the size and shape of the site as well as community feedback. A structured, underground parking area will house 214 stalls primarily designated for employees and overflow usage while the remaining parking stalls will be at grade with the warehouse. Welch indicated the main point of access that connects the northern and southern sites may require a traffic signal. Two other access points would be located on Clarksville Crossing on either side and one more would enter directly into the subterranean parking level. The parking structure would house a static ramp along with freight elevators. “The point of the parking structure was to minimize the amount of mass grading,” Welch said. “It was actually the most efficient way to sit on this site.” The parking lot will be paved with concrete and landscaped to mitigate heat gain. Welch specified 36-foot LED light fixtures, a height he said minimizes the number of lamps needed. The warehouse’s proximity to Oak Meadow Elementary School and its potential safety and traffic impacts were among the most emotionally charged issues discussed. Several parents spoke, including Serrano resident and pediatric critical care doctor Heather Siekes. “The leading cause of death for children is accidental death of which motor vehicle accidents and auto vs. pedestrian accidents make up a significant portion,” she said. “Traffic, lights, insufficient parking— all of that needs to be addressed
to accommodate the current needs to safely access the school before any further development is considered as commercial development will only make that worse and even less safe.” Siekes comments were met with applause. “It is not necessarily uncommon to have a Costco in the same vicinity as an elementary school,” noted Welch, referencing Costco’s Redwood City location. “We will definitely take into consideration what that impact is.” Light pollution, noise and wildlife impacts were other concerns presented by community members who advocated respect for the area’s natural environment. The dismay was palpable upon Wilson’s announcement for plans to fill wetlands. Parents also expressed alarm with the gas station on the northern parcel. “Benzene exposure has been linked to childhood leukemia,” Oak Meadow parent Amy Frith pointed out. She asked for more school parking, a driveway extension from Clarksville Crossing and a pedestrian crossing. “If this is going to go in, it must benefit us in some way.” “The current zoning allows for this type of regional commercial project so that’s why we’ve looked at this
property,” explained Welch. “We wouldn’t be looking at this property if Costco didn’t have the number of members in this area who would be shopping at this location … This is for the people of El Dorado Hills.” The parcel is zoned for commercial regionalplanned development (CR-PD) as part of the El Dorado Hills Specific Plan. A rezone to community commercialplanned development (CC-PD) is requested for the northern portion of the site, allowing for more community type uses as well as the selfstorage project, which requires a conditional use permit. Small portions of the southern side currently zoned as a transportation corridor and commercial-limited would be rezoned to CR-PD to match the majority of the site, a designation for regional uses located along major arterials serving a larger community. A lot line adjustment is also requested. Both Wilson and Welch maintained the desire for ongoing community engagement, the next opportunity being a scoping meeting Sept. 8, venue as yet unannounced. The final environmental impact report is anticipated for summer 2022. For more information visit edhapac.org.
After a fawn was found on North Street in El Dorado Aug. 3 seriously injured by a shot from a pellet gun, California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say they suspect a resident may have been attempting to scare deer out of a garden, not knowing a pellet can cause harm and even death. Dave Cook, who has been rehabbing fawns with Sierra Wildlife Rescue for more than 20 years, was called to pick up the 6-week-old female fawn but its injuries were too severe, requiring euthanasia. Cook said a local vet located the pellet by x-ray, which had severed the fawn’s spine. Killing a deer is an act of poaching, a misdemeanor offense with a
Caldor Fire
maximum fine of $1,000 or up to 6 months in jail. Investigating is Patrick Foy, captain of CDFW’s law enforcement division. Foy said he is hoping the public might have seen something and be able to help. “People think it’s OK to chase (deer) away with pellet guns but we recommend a whistle or deer repellent,” Foy said. “It’s not safe to use pellet guns to scare deer or any other wildlife,” said Cook, recommending no-climb fencing. “And if you have acreage, you don’t have to fence all of it, just around the garden.” Of the deer Cook has taken in shot by pellets, arrows or other weapons, he said more die than survive.

Evacuation warnings have been issued for residents south of Highway 50 to Pleasant Valley Road west of Sly Park Road to Snows and Newtown roads, including the community of Rancho Del Sol. An evacuation center that was set up at the Diamond Springs Fire Hall was at capacity Monday afternoon, according to Cal Fire officials. The Cameron Park Community Center at 2502 Country Club Drive in Cameron Park has been opened as an evacuation center to fill the growing need. At the El Dorado Community Hall, 6139 Pleasant Valley Road in El Dorado, Jamie Hutchinson has swung open the facility’s doors to welcome any evacuees. Hutchinson said there is plenty of space outside the hall for animals, bottled water and a spaghetti dinner will be provided and Wi-Fi is available. Bayside Church at 4602 Missouri Flat Road in Placerville will also serve as an evacuation center. Lori Culver,
event coordinator at the church, said there is room for trailers and RVs and there is a kitchen and bathrooms for evacuees. Local eateries have also offered to supply meals. A large animal shelter for evacuees has been established at the Amador County Fairgrounds, 18621 Sherwood St. in Plymouth. Those needing shelter for small animals are asked to call (530) 621-5795. The Caldor Fire sparked 4 miles south of Grizzly Flat and 2 miles east of Omo Ranch just northeast of the Gold Note OHV trails. The fire is burning in heavy timber on steep terrain in the Middle Fork Cosumnes River Canyon. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Fixed-wing aircraft were grounded Sunday due to smoke from other Northern California wildfires but three helicopters were able to work the fire. Monday and Tuesday that smoke cleared out enough for air tankers to join the firefight.

INNOVATIONS IN IMPLANTS
Today’s restorative dentistry innovations create precise, less invasive replacements for failing or missing teeth. New designs in implants create stronger, more natural replacements without affecting surrounding teeth, improving both tooth appearance and functionality. The use of computer assisted design (CAD) in dentistry now facilitates the creation of an exact replica of the implant, eliminating much of the loss of bone during positioning. Perhaps the most remarkable advancement is the employment of computer- guided surgical maps to precisely plan out the implantation to ensure exact positioning. Additionally, the use of new, antibacterial coatings in implants provides protection from commonly ingested acids, which prolongs the
life of the materials. These major advancements enhance the dental implantation procedure and longevity of the restoration. Modern implants have been in use since the 1970s, and today these substitutes for missing natural teeth have never been more effective, comfortable, and natural-looking. However, you still need to take care of them as well as your oral hygiene with regular professional checkups and scrupulous home care. Complete dental care for all members of your family is available at our offices, where we utilize only the latest in dental technology for your care and comfort. Office hours are by appointment. P.S. The first recorded case of a metal tooth implant dates back to 1000 BC, when an Egyptian king had a copper peg driven into his jawbone.
Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

OPINION
Richard B. Esposito Publisher/Editor
Noel Stack Managing Editor
Krysten Kellum Associate Editor
Editorial
The city is taking a step in the right direction
T
he Placerville City Council unanimously approved a new concept for dealing with the ongoing homeless situation. The short-range plan offers temporary housing (camping) with bathrooms, laundry and shower facilities. Very similar to Hangtown Haven, an earlier attempt by the city to address the problem several years ago, this newest approach appears more focused with mental health and other services provided. The Martin v. Boise ruling by the Ninth Circuit was a landmark decision that prohibits cities from criminalizing the status of homelessness itself by punishing individuals for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. It declared it unconstitutional for cities on the West Coast to arrest people for sleeping outside if there are no available shelter beds. The ruling puts the onus on cities like Placerville to address the homeless situation as it continues to spiral out of control thus the council’s recent approval of the HOSTESS (Homeless One Stop Temporary Emergency Social Services) concept. Sheriff John D’Agostini supports this new concept presented to him by El Dorado County resident Liz Drummond. And Placerville City Council members have taken a bold step forward in moving the needle on this. It could be the start of improving the homeless dilemma the city and county currently face. The most difficult rub prior to the council’s approval was the question of what plans are in the works when the encampment planned at property adjacent to the county jail exceeds the maximum limit of 100 people? It’s likely the camp will exceed the magic number of 100 and it’s also likely more homeless will venture in our direction as word gets out about this new location and the services provided. Regardless of the unpredictable outcome, this new concept is a great option for Placerville. Sheriff D’Agostini should be commended for his proactive approach and commitment addressing this ongoing challenge. As the sheriff said, “This is a program with merit and we’re willing to give it a try.” He’s correct in adding that it’s going to take commitment, cooperation and participation from everybody to make it successful. Participation and cooperation must also come from those utilizing the camp. Extending a helping hand to those in need is the right thing to do. Newly released funds through the American Rescue Plan Act could provide the financial support necessary. according to Councilman Michael Saragosa. Future funding and success will need to come from a commitment by the city and the county. This approach will not solve the homeless situation in El Dorado County but it’s a good step forward.

The writer said it would make them congregate and spread disease. Don’t all wildlife here, except the cougar, naturally congregate? I have been putting pails of water over the fence into a beautiful oak woodland owned by the high school and destined for an aquatic center. So far it is only used (by humans) for a green waste dump. In the morning we see where raccoons have been washing their hands. We have noticed that a lone fawn visits in the middle of the day. We wondered why she was alone. Early this morning I saw she was there with two fawns. She must have been hiding them up and decided it was safe to bring them with her. Before the virus, I suggested to the science teacher in the other neighborhood school that perhaps children across the country could be organized to put out water for birds. They really appreciate it. It would be a way to help the creatures without an investment in bird seed. I never heard back. ELIZABETH CAFFREY Placerville

Message to the left EDITOR: ot a day goes by that I don’t hear the left saying that the right has to move on from Jan. 6 and stop complaining that the election was stolen. This chastising is far worse than the election results considering the left still proclaims as a fact the 2016 election was stolen with the help of the Russians. For the entirety of Trump’s term everyone on the left did anything in their power to usurp, overturn, undermine and obfuscate his regime at every turn, including impeaching him twice. Trump
N
doesn’t need to be defended and he said many things I thought to myself, “that’s gonna hurt,” like claiming Bush was involved in creating the Sept. 11 catastrophe, Ted Cruz’ father assassinated Kennedy or saying he doesn’t like McCain because he was a POW loser and he only likes winners. For me Trump is a cathartic enigma — a politician who said he represented me but didn’t need me to fight for him. I had never seen a politician who acts that way. The problem as I see it is how the left has demonized Republicans since Nixon because it worked with Nixon. Trump gave them a taste of their own medicine and I liked it. Here’s what I say when my leftist friends tell me to get over the 2020 election; I tell them to practice what they preach and I will just as soon as they get over 2016. KEN STEERS Cameron Park
Lack of freedom? EDITOR: ur freedom is being taken away and I am going to do something about it. First, I am going to disregard the Surgeon General’s warning and start smoking — even in restaurants, bars, public buildings and next to my neighbor who has COPD. I might as well throw my three kids in the car ... and why bother with those darn car seats? I don’t want to infringe on their freedom to choose where they want to sit. I would rather see their darling little faces next to me so we can chat and I can quiz them on their multiplication facts. This whole suggestion that they sit in the back seat facing the trunk is insane. I rolled around and played Twister in the back of the station wagon and I survived. While we are on the topic of cars and safety, that seatbelt law is a real inconvenience. Experts tell

Proposed rules threaten the safety of firefighters, residents
T
he California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection’s proposed changes to existing firesafe regulations will risk the safety of firefighters and residents during wildfires. That’s the conclusion reached by fire experts after reviewing the draft regulations. Today’s mega fires burning just to the east and north of El Dorado County warn us of the great threat of wildfires. Very dry conditions, hot weather and fuels ready to burn at a critical time in the fire season signal a need for all of us to be prepared for dangerous times ahead. We need and have fire-safe regulations that address these severe conditions. Yet, it was a shock to us to find the state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection on the verge of weakening public safety regulations and unwilling to deal with these serious issues. The Board of Forestry’s proposed changes will significantly weaken the 30-year-old regulations, reducing common-sense regulations for development of land in high fire-prone areas. Adding more development, without fire safe measures, to existing communities where evacuations are already problematic further increases wildfire risk to lives and property. It reduces the ability of responders to defend
Adding more development, without fire safe measures, to existing communities where evacuations are already problematic further increases wildfire risk to lives and property. your property, strains firefighting budgets and may raise or jeopardize your ability to obtain property insurance. Almost all new development connects to some existing roads. The draft proposal removes most regulations for existing roads that provide access to new development without upgrading the existing roads to standards that allow for concurrent safe evacuation and the entrance of firefighting equipment, thus endangering residents, firefighters and homes. The 2020 regulations required 20-foot access roads (even for the existing roads supporting new development), provided length limitations on dead-end roads and one-way roads. The proposed 2021 regulations remove most regulations for existing roads thus allowing a road width of 14 feet for existing roads supporting new development. That spells disaster for residents when wildfires require evacuation. Automobiles and fire engines simply cannot pass on 14-footwide roads. The lack of adequate ingress and egress for residents and first responders have significantly contributed to the recent losses of

life and properties in California’s wildfires. Draft regulations remove the 1-mile dead-end road limitation for all existing roads, as well as most turnarounds. They would allow development on narrow, dead-end roads 10 miles or longer. Maximum grade is proposed to be unlimited except if more than 25% grade. Excessive road grades and tight turns are impossible for some fire suppression equipment. The clear intent of the legislation for Fire Safe Regulation (Article 2) for road standards was and remains in the 2020 regulations: “shall provide for safe access for emergency wildfire equipment and civilian evacuation concurrently, and shall provide unobstructed traffic circulation during a wildfire emergency ....” These proposed regulations fail to meet the stated objectives. At the direction of the Legislature per SB 901 (Sen. Dodd, 2018), the Board of Forestry is in the process of updating these regulations to meet new state law. The revision of the regulations has opened up opportunity to reduce the high
standards for public safety in place since 1991 and endorsed by the California Fire Service. Opening up areas for development in areas without adequate road means of access and egress puts the public at risk. We just should not be building in these areas, in our opinion. What can we do about the draft regulations? You can object to them simply stating they weaken the existing regulations and fly in the face of public safety. That is what we have done. We must get these regulations revised before they are adopted. It is remarkable the El Dorado County has 26 fire safe councils. We must make sure that the Board of Forestry’s proposed regulations do not weaken fire safety adding more work for these councils. Doug Leisz ins an associate chief.

us, “It saves lives.” Does it really? I am a mom with three kids and I am always in a hurry. Having to buckle and unbuckle seatbelts just slows me down. And who decided I should only drive 65 mph? I am a good driver. I think 80 mph is an acceptable speed limit for a mom who has taken up smoking, is driving with three unrestrained kids, putting on mascara, talking to her husband on the phone and writing down her grocery list. While I am at it, I think I’ll pop open a cold beer on the way home so I can relax. If I am feeling really reckless I might even head up to Sly Park and, god forbid, steer my powerboat clockwise. After my boating excursion, I will go to my favorite restaurant downtown — shirtless and shoeless. (I am 57 years old so that might be a real turn off for other patrons but, what the heck, my freedom is what is important.) I live close to town so I think I will skateboard there ... on the sidewalk. My apologies in advance to the little elderly lady with a cane and a hip replacement; the giraffe-like, topless and shoeless woman skateboarding chaotically toward you and drinking out of an open container is exercising her freedom. Sorry if I crash into you, but if 2020 is any indication on how some of us view our elderly, then you are old and you don’t have much time left
anyway. In all seriousness, I hate wearing a mask. It’s hot, uncomfortable and smelly. However, I will wear a simple piece of fabric over my face with elastic around my ears on the off chance that I might keep myself or, more importantly, a vulnerable person from getting sick. When you consider all the other rules and laws that govern our safety (referenced above indirectly), setting aside “my freedom” to benefit the safety of others seems like a small “sacrifice.” LEONNA TATE Placerville

what they’ve done.” The Trojans begin the season Friday against Cosumnes Oaks and have a plethora of skilled players available. Junior Drew Cowart threw for 712 passing yards as a sophomore last year and recently picked up a scholarship from Middle Tennessee State, where head coach Rick Stockstill has a quarterback teaching background that includes a long stretch as an assistant at Clemson. Reese Catchings also played some quarterback last season and had 224 passing yards and three touchdowns in the season finale against powerhouse Folsom. Against Del Oro April 2, Catchings punished the Golden Eagles defensive front all night and finished with 122 rushing yards and three trips to the end zone. “I think it was good to see all the guys who are gonna be returning on the other teams and seeing what kind of competition we’re gonna have this year,” Catchings said. Oak Ridge plays in the Sierra Foothill League, one of the most difficult leagues in California. It features powerhouses Folsom, Del Oro, Granite Bay, Rocklin and Whitney. To prepare for this chapter, Taylor has scheduled a challenging, non-league schedule starting with Cosumnes Oaks and then games at Vacaville, home against Lincoln of Stockton and a trip to Elk Grove before the SFL journey begins at Folsom Sept. 17. “We’ve got our hands full,” Taylor said. “We just really want to compete real hard this first four weeks and kind of see where we’re at. That’s how you get ready for the SFL.” For 15 years Taylor’s teams battled in the SFL while he was the head coach at Del Oro. He had many battles against Cavaliere, whom he coached with at Oak Ridge in the ’90s when they were both assistants. Now they work together again. When Cavaliere announced he was stepping down, he said he would like to eventually coach in some capacity with the team again. That time is now. “He’s kind of doing a lot of football operations behind the scenes,” Taylor said. “I’m so impressed with him. He’s done a great job with the history of Oak Ridge football and the traditions we have. He’s done a great job of ■

Nick Kasline from the Food Bank of El Dorado County delivers bottled water and food to the evacuation center at the Diamond Springs Fire Hall in Diamond Springs Monday. The Caldor Fire grew from 2,261 acres to more than 6,500 Monday night.

Code Red,” she continued. “Luckily a friend of mine is with volunteer fire. (The sheriff) called me and told me it’s a warning and then called me later and said ‘Get out. Get out now.’”
Then as the clock struck midnight Monday the man saw flashing red and blue lights pull into his property near Grizzly Flat Community Church.
“I think the hardest part is being away from your house and knowing that you just won’t know,” the woman said, adding that she knew a Happy Valley resident who was evacuated while their house was going up in flames.
“He was walking up our driveway saying to get out of there. It was sort of short notice.”
Others from the Grizzly Flat community said they weren’t sure how serious the blaze would become.
The man told the Mountain Democrat his family has lived in Grizzly Flat for about 100 years and he recently was showing his son a photo from the 1950s of the area without any trees.
“I didn’t pack hardly anything. Only a few hours before it was just a warning,” said a man in his 70s who evacuated but asked his name not be printed. “I checked up on a neighbor and he said ‘I’m not going anywhere, I’m going back to bed.’”
“People who lived up here 50 to 100 years ago clear-cut the town. You didn’t let the trees grow in town. Now, everybody lets the trees go,” the man said, adding that he is worried about several neighbors who don’t have fire insurance.

keeping that in place.” Several of Cavaliere’s players are still in place, including receivers Sean Dwyer, Sebastian Sutton and Luke Armstrong, who all had more than 100 receiving yards last season. Armstrong has been a standout defender and led the team with 39 tackles last season. Against Del Oro and Granite Bay he combined for 21 tackles. Following Hall’s interception return for a touchdown against Granite Bay, Armstrong caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from
Catchings to give the Trojans a 23-17 lead before they eventually fell 32-31. Armstrong caught another touchdown pass the following week against Folsom. Taylor said he doesn’t normally name his captains until the week of the first game, but said he will be surprised if Armstrong isn’t a captain. “He’s our main leader,” Taylor said. “He’s the pulse and the heartbeat of the team.” Oak Ridge kicks off at home Friday against Cosumnes Oaks at 7 p.m.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). Inside your own realm, you have a strong sense of purpose, but you may feel less sure in foreign territory. Make a goal of maintaining your resolve in every environment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In dealing with strangers, you are unthinkingly -- though unfailingly -- alert to the full range of things that can happen. Interactions will go in an interesting direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What’s good for one person might be harmful to the next. Some need to let loose, while others should tighten the reins. The only one who really knows what feels good to you is you. Ask yourself, and then listen. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are those who avoid saying, “I love you” in fear that words can only reduce the power of such an epic emotion. Today’s actions will be an unmistakable indication of your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Too much introspection is draining. You are energized by projecting yourself, connecting and interacting in the exterior world. You’ll be especially lucky with activities that are unrelated to what’s on your mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Self-indulgence is a necessary part of life. Without pleasure, you’ll be depressed and unmotivated. Since too much pleasure becomes pain, finding and living in the sweet spot is an art. You’ll nail it today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you’re not making headway on your problem, solve someone else’s. The energy of progress will permeate the atmosphere and you’ll soon see improvement all around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you give your trust, it’s not really for the other person; it’s so you can get on with your life. It will be a relief when someone meets your test, so you can relax the scrutiny and just go with the flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a reason therapists get paid. Hearing the unedited version of people’s stories can be work. It’s why you share on a need-to-know basis with only a select few. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Disloyalty sets off alarm bells. People relax around people who seem rooted. Highlight the good parts of your history. Remember who brought you to the dance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Handle concerns having to do with sales, leads, revenues and profits. The good fortune will carry over to more personal areas of your life. Tonight, relating to those older than you will be lucky. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not always the case, but right now, your own quest is as worthy of following as any royal decree, and certainly more important to tend to than what your friends and loved ones want. Make yourself the priority.

en years ago volunteer and mom Gina Johnston began a non-structured lunch time gardening program at Lake Forest Elementary School in El Dorado Hills. Noticing that the campus garden could use some much-needed attention, Johnston had a plan. But sprucing up the garden was only part of it; engaging the help of the students was the other, much larger part. Johnston, who volunteered regularly at Lake Forest during her son Nathan’s time there, often noticed students sitting alone during lunch or wandering the playground, not quite knowing what to do with themselves. She said she saw the unruly garden as an opportunity to not only revitalize the garden, but to open it up to any student who had interest in helping out during their lunch period. Johnston explained she sees working in the outdoors as “a way to meet the social and emotional needs of the students.” It turned out, it was not just the wandering students who showed up. Kids who usually played on the play structures or basketball with their friends also wanted the opportunity to get their hands a little dirty and help to make the garden a more beautiful space. A few years later, as her son moved to Marina Village Middle School, Johnston would take what she started at Lake Forest to the middle school campus. Once again, students jumped at the opportunity to help plant trees and spread bark; immediately, the Marina Village campus sprung to life. Fast forward to today. Johnston remains part of the Marina PTC and is now the full-time garden coordinator. As such, she recently applied for two grants through the El Dorado Community Foundation. After watching “A Day in the Garden,” a video submitted with her application, the

Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail

ake a stroll through Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail. I found it a wonderful change of pace while tackling a portion of the Tahoe Rim Trail. I tend to start at the foot of a mountain and climb to the top to enjoy the view. Or I hike a trail down to the bottom of a ravine to enjoy the river. The Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail is neither up or down but a wide, flat trail that opens to a meadow with views of Mount Rose, Slide Mountain and more. While walking the decomposed granite path I recalled the feeling of riding my bike as a kid. Remember when you could let go of the handlebars and just peddle? That is what this trail felt like — no effort to climb the big hills, no caution given to steep drop offs. This is an easy trail to relax and enjoy. The meadows host wetlands covered in green vegetation. The large ponds are home to a variety of birds, wildflowers and grasses. In mid-September the area was lush and thriving where lower elevations are dry and brown. Several trails lead from this Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest trailhead. Take your pick — the Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail is a highly maintained 1.3-mile loop trail. The Mount Rose Summit Trail is a 5-mile trek. The Tahoe Rim Trail segment from Tahoe Meadows to Spooner Summit is 21.8 miles. The entire Tahoe

The Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail is a relatively flat trail that offers great scenery. Above, a meadow beckons hikers and wildlife alike. Below, Mount Rose is seen in the distance during a stroll along the well-maintained trail.
Rim Trail, around the lake, is 165 miles. To get there take Interstate 80 east to exit 188B for CA-89/CA-267 south toward Sierraville/Lake Tahoe. Turn left onto the North Lake Boulevard exit onto NV431. In less than 7 miles parking for the trailhead will be on your right.

l Dorado Wine Region’s Element 79 Vineyards is a nod to California’s Gold Rush. The element number for gold is 79 and a nugget of this precious metal found in El Dorado County in 1848 launched goldfever and a mass migration to what is now considered California’s Gold Country. Now another element, the number 13, is striking it big for the winery. The element 13 or the metal called aluminum, holds two canned sparklers that each took gold medals and package design awards at the International Canned Wine Competition. Both wines are in the winery’s canned portfolio of wines, called Color, the 2020 Sparkling Dry Hopped Estate Viognier and the 2020 Sparkling Estate Rosé. Element 79 owners, Les and Sharon Heinsen named the brand for the exclamation miners yelled when they found gold, “I got color!” The International Canned Wine Competition awarded gold medals to 85 of the 335 wines entered. Wines from 16 countries as well as all over the United States competed. Recognized in the package design category, each Color wine is canned in a color appropriate design. The Color package was designed by Emily Johnson, proprietor of Little Archer Studio in Sacramento.
The wines are served at the winery’s tasting room, 7350 Fairplay Road in Fair Play, by the can or on tap. The wines are bright, crisp and tasty. Winemaker Scott Johnson makes Color Rosé as a field blend of zinfandel and syrah. Beer hops were added to the sparkling viognier after fermentation. A little used method of dropping a cheesecloth bag of dry hops into the wine for a short time is utilized. The addition of hops accentuates the lush aromatics of viognier. Les Heinsen, stressed that, “It is important to know that the wine used in the Color brands are farmed and harvested specifically for our sparkling program. We don’t just take the same wine used for our still bottled wines and carbonate it. We pick at lower brix and higher acidity to emulate the champaign style. The only difference is we force carbonate rather than using méthode champenoise.” Element 79 Vineyards is located in the Fair Play region of the El Dorado AVA. The Heinsens and winemaker Johnson also craft a portfolio of estate bottled fine wines that are at the heart of the winery’s production. The selection includes a still viognier and specialty blends that employ artisan winemaking techniques with syrah, petite sirah, zinfandel and cabernet.

Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-1175-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-1175-11 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The Notice to Tenant pertains to sales occurring after January 1, 2021.

Z19-0005/TM18-1538/ PD19-0005/DA20-0002). The County has issued this Notice of Availability (NOA) to members of the public, Responsible Agencies, Trustee Agencies, federal agencies, transportation planning agencies, interested parties and other agencies with facilities that may be affected by the project. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Responsible Agencies are those public agencies, other than the County, that also have a role in approving or carrying out the project. As detailed further below, a portion of the project would also include improvements within the right-ofway (ROW) and adjoining areas of State Route 49 (SR-49)/Pleasant Valley Road. These improvements are required to provide access to and from the proposed Subdivision site. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has delegated lead agency status for the portion of the project within the Caltrans ROW. Accordingly, Caltrans will act as a Responsible Agency for the project. As such, both the proposed Dorado Oaks Tentative Subdivision Map and the proposed SR-49/Pleasant Valley Road intersection improvements have been considered as a single project in the EIR. However, for purposes of clarity and to facilitate subsequent Caltrans review of project components under their jurisdiction, the Dorado Oaks Subdivision project component and the SR-49 intersection project component are described separately. The location, project description, and project entitlement requests are described further below. PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: The Draft EIR has been released for a 60-day public comment period beginning on August 18, 2021 and ending October 18, 2021. All written and public agency comments on the Draft EIR must be received by 5:00 PM on October 18, 2021. Comments should be submitted in writing to the attention of Tom Purciel, El Dorado County Planning and Building Department – Planning Division, 2850 Fairlane Court, Placerville, CA 95667. Comments may be submitted via email to dorado_oaks@edcgov.us. Comments submitted via email must either be included in the body text of the message or as an attachment in Microsoft® Word or Adobe® PDF format. Comments may also be submitted via fax to (530) 642-0508 or delivered in person and directed to: El Dorado County Planning and Building Department - Planning Division, Attention: Tom Purciel. Please include the name of the contact person of your agency, if applicable. Please limit your comments to the issues addressed in the Draft EIR and the potential environmental impacts that may result from project implementation related to those issues. Keep in mind that comments should focus on the potential environmental impacts of the project based on the Draft EIR, and not the positive or negative attributes of the project itself. Comments pertaining to the impact analysis, criteria and thresholds, mitigation measures, and alternatives presented in the Draft EIR will be considered by the County during preparation of a Final EIR. The Final EIR will include copies of the comments received on the Draft EIR, and the County’s responses to those comments. WHERE TO VIEW THE DRAFT EIR: The Draft EIR is available for review at the locations listed below. The document can also be downloaded and viewed online at the internet locations listed. Hard copies of the Draft EIR can be viewed at the following locations: El Dorado County, Planning and Building Department, 2850 Fairlane Court, Building C, Placerville, CA 95667; El Dorado County, Main Library, 345 Fair Lane, Placerville, California 95667; El Dorado County, El Dorado Hills Library, 7455 Silva Valley Pkwy., El Dorado Hills, CA 95762; and El Dorado County, Cameron Park Library, 2500 Country Club Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682.

Z19-0005/TM181538/PD19-0005/DA20-0002 PROJECT APPLICANT: Stonehenge Springs LLC, 2700 South Azusa Avenue, West Covina, CA 91792 PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located approximately three miles south of the city of Placerville and 40 miles east of the city of Sacramento in unincorporated El Dorado County, California. The project site consists of approximately 142.3 acres and is located on the west side of Faith Lane, approximately 500 feet south of the intersection with Pleasant Valley Road/State Route 49 in the El Dorado and Diamond Springs Community Region. The project site is identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 054-402-018, 329301-015, 329-301-020, 329-310010, 329-310-011 and 329-310-012. The site is located at approximately 38°41’02.5”N, 120°49’08.9”W. ENTITLEMENT REQUESTS: The Dorado Oaks Subdivision consists of the following entitlement requests: 1) A Rezone (Application # Z190005) of an approximately 18.1-acre portion of the approximately 142.5acre project site from Residential, Multi-Unit (RM) to Residential, Multi-Unit - Planned Development (RM-PD), in accordance with the El Dorado County Zoning Code; 2) A Phased Tentative Subdivision Map (Application # TM18-1538), to subdivide the property into 14 Large Lots for financing and phasing purposes, 156 single-family lots ranging in size from 6,000 square
feet to approximately 24,000 square feet, 225 multi-family lots ranging in size from approximately 2,000 square feet to 7,170 square feet; one single-family lot of approximately 6.4 acres; seven roadway lots; and 18 open space/landscape lots open space/landscape lots in accordance with the El Dorado County Subdivision Ordinance; 3) A Planned Development Permit (Application # PD19-0005) to establish an official Development Plan for the Dorado Oaks Subdivision that includes modification to front yard setback standards in the RM zone district for 225 multi-family lots on an 18.1-acre portion of the project site in accordance with the El Dorado County Zoning Code; 4) A Development Agreement (Application# DA20-0002) between the County and the project applicant; and 5) Lot line adjustments along portions of the site’s eastern boundary to correct a series of inadvertent encroachments and lot line errors from adjoining properties and structures onto the proposed subdivision site. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of on-site improvements (“Dorado Oaks Tentative Subdivision Map Site”) and off-site improvements (“State Route 49 Intersection Area” and the “Optional Fowler Lane Improvement Area”) related to a proposed 382-lot residential subdivision. Proposed work at all three locations is collectively referred to as the “project”. Proposed development in each area is described below. Dorado Oaks Subdivision Site: This component of the project would provide for development of residential uses on a series of parcels that cover a combined area of approximately 142.5 acres. In addition to the proposed residential and open space lots, other components of the project include: A) On-site roadway improvements to facilitate circulation within the development (approximately 18.5 total acres).; B) Provision of a 3.1acre public park site.; C) On-site infrastructure improvements relating to potable water delivery, wastewater conveyance, storm drainage, electric, propane, and communications.; and D) Provision of four public vehicular access points and one or two emergency vehicle access points to and from the project site to existing adjoining roadways: 1) Faith Lane, connecting to SR-49/Pleasant Valley Road and providing primary access at the north end of the project site.; 2) Faith Lane/Argonaut Drive, connecting to Argonaut Drive on the west side of the project.; 3) “C” Street, connecting to Fowler Lane on the northeast side of the project site.; 4) “D” Street, connecting to Crystal Drive/Tullis Mine Road on the northwest side of the project site.; and 5) Two emergency vehicle access options are under consideration, the first deriving from the southern terminus of “G” Street and exiting the subdivision site to the southwest, connecting to Antares Drive. The second emergency access option would derive from “H” Court and connect to Fowler Lane. If selected, the Fowler Drive option could require offsite widening of the southerly offsite portions of Fowler Drive to meet County Fire Department requirements. State Route 49/Pleasant Valley Road Intersection Area: This component of the project would provide access to the Dorado Oaks Subdivision site from State Route (SR) 49, also known as Pleasant Valley Road. Two intersection options/alternatives have been evaluated: A) Option A: a four-way roundabout at the intersection of China Garden Road/ SR-49, to the east of Faith Lane. And B) Option B: Realignment of the existing Faith Lane alignment westwards to connect with Silver Drive, and installation of two coordinated signals at the intersections of Silver Drive/SR-49 and China Garden Road/SR-49. For purposes of the analysis, the entirety of these two areas were considered collectively as the “State Route 49 Intersection Area.” Both of the above options also included a study area buffer extending 50 feet on either side of each option’s edge-of-pavement improvements. Ultimately, only one of these options/ alternatives would be selected for construction, but both of the options/alternatives were evaluated in this Draft EIR. Optional Fowler Lane Improvement Area: In addition to the four public points of access to the Dorado Oaks Subdivision site described previously, emergency vehicle access to and from the site would be provided via dedicated emergencyonly roadways at the southern end of the subdivision site. Two options are under consideration to provide this access, and one or both of the options would be implemented as part of the project’s construction. The first option would come off of “G” Street near the southern end of the subdivision site and travel southwesterly to connect with Antares Drive. Construction of improvements for this option would all occur on the subdivision site, and no offsite improvements would be required, except for the tie-in with Antares Drive. The second option would come off of “H” Court, but would exit the subdivision site near its southeastern corner and connect with Fowler Lane. If the Fowler Lane option were selected as the sole point of emergency access, the Antares Drive emergency access option described above would likely not be constructed, and the southerly offsite portions of Fowler Lane would likely need to be widened to a minimum 20-foot paved width to meet County Fire Department requirements. In all, the paved areas along about 2,600 linear feet (approximately 0.5 mile) of Fowler Lane would need to be widened by anywhere from 2.5 to 10 feet, extending northwards from the interface with “H” Court to a point about 450 feet west of Fowler Lane’s intersection with South Point Road. Should the Antares Drive option be selected as the sole point of emergency access, a gated emergency access connection to Fowler Lane from “H” Court would still be provided, but the aforementioned widening of Fowler Lane and the easement adjustments would not occur. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: The Draft EIR found that the following impacts from development of the project would be significant and unavoidable, even after implementation of all feasible mitigation: Impact 4.4-1: The project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. (Significant and Unavoidable Impact, with Mitigation) (For State Route 49 Intersection Improvement Option A only).; Impact 4.4-4a: The project
could cause a cumulative impact to a historical resource as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. (Significant and Unavoidable Impact, with Mitigation) (For State Route 49 Intersection Improvement Option A only).; Impact 4.10-1c: Construction of the proposed project would result in temporary increases in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. (Significant and Unavoidable Impact, with Mitigation).; and Impact 4.104: Construction activities for the proposed project combined with cumulative construction noise in the project area would result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in excess of standards established in the General Plan or Noise Ordinance. (Significant and Unavoidable Impact, with Mitigation). PROJECT ALTERNATIVES: Chapter 5 of the Draft EIR analyzed a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, including the No Project/No Development Alternative (Alternative 1), the SR-49 Roundabout Alternative (Alternative 2), and the SR-49 Signalized Intersection Alternative (Alternative 3). Overall, the analysis found that the SR-49 Signalized Intersection Alternative (Alternative 3), particularly with the Optional Fowler Lane Improvement component of the project deleted, would reduce some of the project’s significant impacts, and would therefore be the Environmentally Superior Alternative for the purpose of analysis. 8/18 9392 FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT FILE NO.
