Crews ‘chasing down’ fire on Wright’s Lake Road Thomas Frey Staff writer

A spot fire burns along Wright’s Lake Road north of Highway 50 Wednesday.

The area around Wright’s Lake Road north of Highway 50 was hit with a 700-acre spot fire Wednesday, according to Eric Schwab, Cal Fire operations section chief. “We’re currently trying to get containment on that now,” Schwab said. “The west side of it and the north side of it are fairly secure right now, but again we are kind of chasing this one down. It’s spreading lateral. The winds will start to taper off ... I’m confident we’ll get dozer lines around that.” Overnight Wednesday the fire remained active in the northeast with most growth occurring east of Kyburz. Critical fuel conditions and steep and rugged terrain still present a challenges

for crews. Firefighters are continuing with firing operations in Grizzly Flat to help strengthen control lines. Winds Thursday over the fire were expected to be moderate, causing a slight reduction in fire behavior. However, fire conditions still remain active and challenging. Fire crews conducted firing operations Tuesday night south of Sly Park Road that went “better than expected,” Schwab said. “They completely closed the box. They started on both sides of the canyon on the Omo side and up off of Grizzly and burned all the way down into the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River (Canyon) and up the other side,” Schwab said. He said hand crews were at Sly Park trying to piece that (containment effort) together

Wednesday with bulldozing and back burning that will happen overnight. “If this is successful, it will reduce the complexity of this firing operation and it will reduce the amount of time we need to be working in there,” Schwab said. There will be a change in winds over next three days, according to incident meteorologist Jim Dudley. “The good news is we’re having a little change in the weather pattern,” Dudley said. “It’s almost going to stop southerly wind flow that’s been feeding into the fire area. Southwest and west winds are going to stop and we’re going to have very light winds aloft.” Fire behavior analyst Steve Volmer said that will help get a lot more resources in safely. Volmer said the very dense n

BRING IT IN FOR LEGOS — Somerset resident and Lego social media influencer Morgan Earle is embraced by young evacuees as he hands out Lego sets at a Caldor Fire evacuation sites.

Community comes together to give fire victims a lift

All paws on deck to help four-legged evacuees

Eric Jaramishian Staff writer The El Dorado County community has stepped up in a big way to help victims of the Caldor Fire. Morgen Earle, Cameron Park resident and founder of @ earlefambuilds, a TikTok channel with nearly 630,000 followers dedicated to all things Lego, has taken his passion and put it back into the community. He and his father, Pioneer Fire District Deputy Chief Ken Earle, were talking about Caldor Fire evacuees, when Ken said, ‘Morgen, these kids … they got nothing.’ PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

Morgen’s response? “Not for long.” Morgen and his wife Lindsay Earle then went on what he calls a “smile run,” spending $2,000 on Legos and delivering them to evacuated children sheltered at Bayside and Green Valley churches in Placerville, as well as D’Agostini Ranch in south county. To the youngsters at these sites Morgen is now known as Caldor Fire Santa. “The community responded so well; they’re like ‘How can we support you to get more out there?’ So everyone in the community has just been sending me (money through) Venmo,” Morgen said. The Earles received $1,000 and with it went out and did a second smile run Sunday at Bayside, Walmart and other places where evacuees have set up. “We were kind of joking last night because we’re kind of fighting the fire on two fronts,” Morgen said “He’s fighting it physically and I’m fighting it mentally and emotionally.” Morgen, a Somerset resident who is himself displaced, said he has received an additional $800 to do a third run. At Bayside in

Placerville, volunteers have been serving an average of 10,000 people a day, according to Al Soto, lead pastor. The church has been providing space for tents and RVs so people can stay on the church’s Missouri Flat Road property. “Everyone gets helped,” Soto said. “Nobody gets turned away here.” Bayside provides two meals a day along with mobile showers and bathrooms. “I’m proud of the team and I am proud of the other churches in the area who have stepped up,” Soto said. “It is an amazing thing how the community has been responding to this crisis.” Soto said the church can use donations of tents, air mattresses and air pumps, as well as ice chests. “We are planning on an influx of people arriving since their hotel allowances are running out,” said Christie Rebolcaba, a volunteer coordinator for Bayside. “(Fire vctims) get an average of $500 to $1,500 to stay at hotels. It’s not that much.” District Church and Red Hawk Casino have helped donate portable n

Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer El Dorado County is home to many animals large and small. When the call came down ordering thousands of residents to evacuate last week as the Caldor Fire threatened homes, those who could help, did just that. Staff at El Dorado County Animal Services got to work relocating animals already housed at the animal shelter to make room for incoming evacuees — both large and small, according to Henry Brzezinski, chief of El Dorado County Animal Services Animal Services has teamed up with a number of organizations that are experts at animal evacuations and rescues. Among the organizations lending a hand is South County Large Animal Rescue, which is helping with operations at the Amador County Fairgrounds and Saureel Vineyards animal evacuation sites. All About Equine, a local equine adoption group has been helping staff facilities. Code3 Animal Rescue, a national organization out of Longmont, Colo., has been helping with coordination in the field. Hold Your Horses, a large animal rescue organization out of Brentwood, has been helping with evacuation efforts. North Valley Animal Disaster Group out of Chico has been helping with the coordination of field rescues. The El Dorado County Office of Emergency Services has had help from many other municipal entities, including Placer County Animal Services, Calaveras County OES, Tuolumne County Animal Services, Sacramento County Animal Services,

We could not do this without all the support that we have received.” As of Aug. 24, more than 1,300 animals are sheltered in various locations in El Dorado County. At the El Dorado County Animal n

Floyd E. Singleton

May 29, 1920 - Aug. 17, 2021

Lt. Colonel Floyd E. Singleton was born May 29, 1920, in Abilene, Texas to Floyd E. and Lucile (Feazel) Singleton. His early childhood was spent in Texas. He moved to Placerville, Calif., in 1936 and married his high school sweetheart, Noreen Bonillo, in 1940. A decorated war veteran, Floyd served with the U.S. Air Force for 26 years, including World War II, the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War. During World War II he piloted B-26 aircraft with 65 missions in the European theater. During the Berlin Airlift, he piloted C-54 aircraft; and during the Korean War he piloted B-26s. He was an exchange officer with the British Royal Air Force for two years, piloting the R.A.F. Canberra. During his career, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with 17 Oak Leaf Clusters among others. He and his wife moved to East Wenatchee, Wash., in 1966 after retiring from the Air Force. He owned and operated apple orchards until 1984, after which he and his wife spent their winters in Mesa, Ariz. He was active in amateur radio and was a member of the American Radio Relay League and the Columbia Basin Net. He and his wife moved to Vancouver, Wash., in 2004 to be near family. He is survived by his wife; his daughter, Shari Blakey of Vancouver, Wash.; granddaughter, Kimberley McGair of Portland, Ore.; grandson, Dale Hanks of Denver, Colo., and four great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother and sister.

Marty Doub (Ellsworth) May 24, 1942 - July 3, 2021

Raised in Whitehall, Calif., Marty attended El Dorado High School, San José State University and the Academy of Art in San Francisco. A thoughtful, independent and creative spirit, Marty was a portrait, fashion and wedding photographer who took pride in capturing the essence of her subjects. She generously shared her love of gardening and baking with friends and family and kept her independent spark and irreverent, fun-loving sense of humor throughout her life. Marty is survived by her daughter Yolanda Doub of Fresno and her brother Jim Ellsworth of Applegate. On Aug. 14 she was laid to rest next to her parents, Ted and Martha Ellsworth, and her youngest brother, John Ellsworth, in a private gathering at Placerville Union Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages all to think of something that Marty did, or that you love about her and incorporate more of it into your own life. Line your driveway with daffodils. Bake a cake for a friend. Eat your favorite See’s candy unapologetically. Take an impromptu free day; go to San Francisco, an art show, a film festival, a midnight movie (or all of the above). Love unabashedly. Try a new type of food. Go skinnydipping. Pursue a dream. Persevere with abandon. Help a friend in need. Crank up your favorite song or album and dance in your living room just because. Most of all, encourage and love the square pegs in your life, who, like Marty, make life richer when you let them in.

Somerset resident Bob Bossard, holding Sam, and his girlfriend Beth Anderson, holding Cooper, found refuge on private property an El Dorado resident offered up. Behind them is the tent they are staying in while evacuated due to the Caldor Fire.

Stranded by Caldor Adale van Dam Mountain Democrat correspondent It came as much surprise for some as they lay down to sleep in their beds in Grizzly Flat Aug. 16 only to be awakened by the sound of burning timber and propane tanks erupting as the Caldor Fire moved into the community. It was enough to jolt Leanne ‘Snow Bear’ Saldana upright. She said she took a look out the window and in the distance saw red and then moving flames. Leanne woke her husband Jason and in an instant they were scrambling to get their important documents, some photos, clothing and to save their kittens. Jason’s mother and brother, Sherry and Joshua Saldana, were visiting for the week from Arizona. The four of them packed their cars and evacuated. The Saldana family headed for the Best Western Inn in Placerville where they awaited news on whether their home survived. Grizzly Flat resident Ho Kim and his wife Su escaped the Caldor Fire with their border collies, including fourweek-old pups. They too sought lodging at the pet-friendly Missouri Flat Road hotel. Ho said they left with little. They later learned they lost their home in its entirety along with his wife’s car to the blaze that tore through their neighborhood. The Kims said they had recently finished building a fence for their dogs in their backyard and were looking forward to the life they were building together in Grizzly Flat. The Smoke Jammers, from top, Jack Davies, Bob Morgan and Larry Polte entertain the Caldor Fire evacuees at Green Valley Church in Placerville.

Ho said they are looking to purchase an RV to be able to move out of the hotel to an area where they can temporarily reside and let the dogs have room to run. They said it is challenging to be cooped up in one room with nowhere for the dogs to have respite. At the same time they said, “We are so fortunate we have each other and the help of many.” Pollock Pines evacuee Nicholas Trigueiro works at the front desk of a Placerville hotel full-time. He said he, along with three others working there are evacuees. Staff at the hotel have been tirelessly working to help provide evacuees with things they need, he said. They also called reservation holders, asking if they would cancel their bookings to make more rooms available for evacuees and firefighters. Trigueiro noted that most of those reservation holders have been very understanding. Trigueiro said he has family in the Bay Area he would have gone to stay with had he not been able to stay at the hotel. He’s staying in a small meeting room rarely used so as to not take a room away from others who need it more than him, he said. While fire crews head into the danger zone, parking lots, community centers, churches and private properties all over the county have also become safe havens for some 24,500 El Dorado County evacuees fleeing the flames — RVs, tents and spare rooms all put to use sheltering people while others have donated pens, fields and crates for animals impacted. n

Guest column

It’s time for national soulsearching

fter the attacks on our nation on Sept. 11, 2001, President George W. Bush took to the airways to address the American people. Speaking to a nation in shock, he cast what had occurred in the framework of good and STAR PARKER evil. “Today, our nation saw evil,” the president said. And he offered up solace in Psalm 23, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.” Several days later, a number of evangelical pastors, including Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell Sr., picked up on the theme of good and evil, reward and punishment, and suggested we must look inside of our nation as well as outside. We must check ourselves. Pat Robertson issued a press release, as was reported in The New York Times, stating, “In a country rampant with materialism, internet pornography and lack of prayer, ‘God Almighty is lifting his protection from us.’” These pastors got major pushback in the country for suggesting that this horrible occasion provided good reason for self-examination and Bush, himself a born-again Christian, disavowed the pastors. The White House issued a statement saying: “The president believes that terrorists are responsible for these acts. ... He does not share those views, and believes that those remarks are inappropriate.” Of course, no pastor questioned who actually committed the acts of terror. They suggested that, along with the actions we take against the terrorists, we must also check our own moral state of affairs to try to understand why such a horrible act of violence could have been successfully carried out on our own soil. We might recall that the pilots who flew those planes, transforming commercial airliners into lethal weapons, trained in our country. And while these preparations in our own backyard for what occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, were taking place, the president of the United States, Bill Clinton, was preoccupied committing adultery in the Oval Office. Now here we are, 20 years later, having spent more than $2 trillion in our operations in Afghanistan, with a loss of some 2,400 American lives. The Taliban, against whom we launched hostilities in 2001, is back in power. By some estimates, their control in Afghanistan is broader than it was in 2001. Maybe today, as the United States withdraws from Afghanistan in despair, shame and confusion, and as we note 20 years since the loss of 2,977 American lives to terror in our homeland, there will be greater appreciation for doing some national soulsearching. We needn’t just turn back to the admonitions of ■

Letters to the Editor Recall impracticality

Advancement

EDITOR: egarding a gubernatorial recall election mid-term, mid-pandemic, mid-pandemic uptick with variant, amid other local crises: I am a practical person. It seems to me that to create upheaval in our state government to change governors at this point is expensive and pointless. There will be an election anyway soon. Voters who want change can work on change then. The current recall effort feels like grandstanding and Monday morning quarterbacking about the handling of what was, is and will still be a very difficult situation. This last 18 months has required handling the COVID-19 pandemic when not much was known, handling homelessness when it is growing for many reasons and handling safety decisions in education in the midst of all our crises. These are all difficult for whomever is in charge and so easy to criticize. Causing chaos and expense right now, even potentially health dangers, by recalling and changing state administration in the midst of crises is totally illogical in my view. MARGARET VANDERKAR Placerville

EDITOR: rom the day Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, America has been an unstoppable force of technological amelioration. This hasn’t even slowed despite the hardships that have befallen the American people. Innovation is the bedrock of American dominance in the world. We are, and must remain, the hub of advancement. In the last century and a half all the greatest inventions — telephones, vaccines and even the internet — have been American made. These three breakthroughs also have one other characteristic in common. They were created by private citizens or corporations. Nothing has ever matched the spirit of private enterprise that has allowed America to grow to a global superpower, accruing nearly 30% of the world’s wealth. However, more and more, the government has tried to seize power from businesses and corporations by creating bureaucracies that hinder the ability to conduct business and research. These rules and regulations discourage creativity or advancement. They have also led to a higher financial burden on companies, leading them to operate in other countries and take money and jobs away from Americans. In California, which has the sixth largest economy in the world, companies are shipping jobs overseas due to massive taxes and regulations put in place by elected officials and unelected bureaucrats. We could reverse this quite easily. California’s oppressive taxes take from small business owners on two fronts. It imposes both business and personal taxes on small business owners — one of the few states to do so. Should one of these be repealed, small businesses would have more of an incentive to start up and stay in the state. When it comes to large corporations, the solution is even simpler. Lower taxes or offer better tax incentives. Since 2010, more than 50 large corporations have left California and we have lost one-third of our small businesses. These numbers are glaring and send one very clear message. As long as businesses continue to be oppressed by unfair burdens we cannot progress as a state or as a country. Our status as the world’s

Recall election EDITOR: he California governor recall election is a travesty. It is a disgrace that the Republican hounds baying at the Capitol are squandering $81 million to recall a progressive governor who has the overwhelming support of the voters of California. This recall effort is the worst case of disaster profiteering: blaming the messenger and first responder who has effectively steered us through a deadly pandemic. Shame on these vultures looking to feast on the misdirected rage of frustrated voters. This ship of state is still at sea, battered by ongoing catastrophic storms, which is the worst time to mutiny. I say we maintain stability and reject the recall of Gov. Newsom. In waiting 15 months for the normal gubernatorial election, perhaps the field of challengers could be winnowed to some with real qualifications. LYNN SCHARDT Garden Valley

In reality, many meat-eaters — myself included — see it simply as a way to evolve beyond the factory-farming methods that would horrify most people … A recent blog post by pundit Andrew Sullivan clarified the issue. “I’m not a vegan and couldn’t survive as one,” he wrote. “I’m hopelessly addicted to bacon. And it’s because I love eating pork and bacon that I want to know I am not complicit in torture when I eat it.” Studies have found pigs to be smarter than dogs, capable of playing video games better than chimpanzees and even able to discern the feelings of other pigs. In a perfect world “cultured meat” (real meat grown without the slaughter of an animal) would provide all the animal protein we want or need. Though such products are in development now, the acceptance of cultured meat is a long way off. In the meantime, meat and animal products will continue to be consumed — that’s just a reality. But it doesn’t have to mean animals suffer misery their entire lives as a result.

California’s Prop. 12 provisions are a step in that direction. Of course, they’ll mean increased prices for meat. Sullivan puts it in perspective. “Retrofitting hog farms so that they are not torture-filled concentration camps could add 15% to the price of bringing a single pig to market. The horror!” Actually, the horror is how food animals are typically kept. An estimated 99% of U.S. farmed animals live in factory farms, according to analysis by the nonprofit think tank Sentience Institute. Another term for these farms is CAFOs, or “concentrated animal feeding operations.” In CAFOs, animals live in cramped, overcrowded and often disease-ridden conditions, treated more like widgets than the living, breathing, sentient creatures.

a few evangelical pastors 20 years ago. We can turn back 225 years to 1796, to the counsel provided to a young, new nation by its first president, George Washington, in his farewell address. Washington reminded his countrymen that theirs is a country rooted in eternal truths and warned about detaching from those truths and allowing the nation to deteriorate into raw politics. “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. ... Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education ... reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. “It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.” Over the last 20 years, as a nation, we have moved further from these truths.

will be able to affect a lot more direct line control. Ben Newburn, the unified incident commander for the U.S. Forest Service, said the next few days will be very critical to pushing the containment percentage up. “We’re going to be involved in some very complex firefighting

activities, particularly on the east side of the fire with some of our very technical firing operations,” Newburn explained. “Then also some of the work we’re doing out in the west side of the fire ... you’re going to see some smoke in the air, possibly, you’re going to see a lot of fire equipment

moving around, but let me assure you we are working together to bring a successful end to this incident. “The next few days are going to certainly be a test of our firefighting abilities, and certainly are going to present some opportunities for us to get some solid success on the spire, and start getting some containment.” At Wednesday evening’s Caldor Fire public information meeting, an evacuee asked law enforcement liaison Eric Lee how someone would get prescription medications they left in

their home. “The best way to do that is to contact the American Red Cross,” Lee said. “They will be happy to be able to help you out with that and get you whatever you need.” Lee was also asked how an evacuee will know it’s time they can return home. About 24,500 El Dorado County residents are currently evacuated, according to the California Office of Emergency Services. He said public information officers will work together to get messaging out so people can return

home once the fire has been eradicated in an area or it’s no longer an emergency ingressegress route for fire apparatus and it’s safe. The fire began south of Grizzly Flat Aug. 14 and has since burned to the north and east all the way to Highway 50 and Silver Fork Road. Damage assessment teams as of Wednesday night have identified 465 homes and 11 commercial buildings that were destroyed. The Caldor Fire currently threatens 17,488 structures with about 2,900 firefighting personnel assigned to the incident.

third of EID’s drinking water supply to its customers. The canal and its flumes run through steep and often hard-to-reach terrain along the Highway 50 corridor. “At this time we are asking all customers to do what they can to continue to meet the 15% voluntary

water use reduction under the district’s ongoing Stage 1 water alert,” said EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie. When the Caldor Fire broke out, EID personnel began optimizing emergency water storage levels in its Forebay Reservoir in the event

the canal and flume system was damaged. The El Dorado Canal system is the primary means of supply to the northeastern portion of EID’s service area, including Pollock Pines and Camino, and also contributes significantly to supplying the rest

of the service area by gravity. The Apple Hill and Gold Hill agricultural areas, the city of Placerville, and communities west of Placerville to Cameron Park and upper El Dorado Hills are served jointly by water from the El Dorado Canal and Sly Park’s Jenkinson Lake.

Visit tinyurl.com/ edsoevac to view the evacuation map. Cal Fire and South Lake Tahoe officials held a community meeting Tuesday night at the Lake Tahoe Environmental Magnet School to discuss what action will be taken if the Caldore Fire reaches the Tahoe Basin. Multiple agencies were represented and several Lake Tahoe leaders were on hand to receive a fire update. The fire, which has grown larger than the footprint of Lake Tahoe, is about 15 miles away from the basin. Lake Valley Fire Chief Brad Zlendick said he and his agency have been keeping a close eye on the fire, including traveling to the fire’s command post everyday. “To say Lake Valley Fire is concerned is an understatement,” Zlendick said. “We’re concerned about the cabins on Echo Summit and the Meyers community.” He said neighbors need to work together and help each other out as much as possible if or when the time comes. Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit Operations Chief Mike Blankenheim said there are two main firefighting priorities. One is the west edge where the fire is burning in steep drainage and is threatening a “whole bunch of communities,” he said. The other is the eastern edge nearest to Tahoe where he said growth had slowed but was still advancing. Jeff Marsolais, Eldorado National Forest supervisor, who previously spent 10 years as the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Supervisor, talked about the fire getting additional resources because it’s the top priority fire in the country. Cal Fire Incident Commander Jeff Vieck went more into detail about what it means being the top priority fire. He said it’s due to structures being threatened and dangerous fire growth. He said there are so many resources traveling in to help fight the fire that they had a traffic jam at base camp. “It’s going to take 3,000 to 5,000 people to ultimately suppress this fire,” he said. As of Thursday morning there are 2,897 personnel battling the fire with 243 engines, 27 water tenders, 21 helicopters, 80 hand crews and 51 dozers. Vieck said the Caldor Fire gets top priority with DC-10 bomber and helicopter flight missions. Officials reiterated that they are working to protect the residents, which is their top priority along with firefighter safety.

In El Dorado Hills an overnight evacuation center has been set up at Rolling Hills Church at 800 White Rock Road. Red Cross shelter manager Carrie Odegaard told the Mountain Democrat the facility has room for up to 54 individuals indoors. The church has a large parking lot for RVs and campers. Animal rescue groups are on hand to help with animals that show up with their owners; only service animals are allowed to stay inside the shelter (those who come in campers and RVs are OK to keep their pets). Evacuees are “welcome to stop by to pick up water, food and snacks,” Odegaard added. Last Friday morning Cherrie and Scott Fechner from Camino enjoyed time to themselves as the only evacuees on the property, sheltering in their RV in a quiet corner of the parking lot. “We stopped at the Nugget on our way in,” Cherrie said. “We’ve been able to spread out here.” Their set up included spots they secured for their RV, a couple of lawn chairs and their truck with bikes in tow. In hindsight, the Fechners shared they are second-guessing the decision to leave their Camino home, Scott calling the notice to evacuate “overly cautious.” As of Friday morning their house still stood and they had received updates from neighbors, including a fireman, who chose to stay behind. “Now we are told we may not be able to go back for one to two weeks,” Scott said. An evacuation camp on private property in El Dorado has become a new home for some and evacuees there are building friendships. The owner of the property at 4600 El Dorado Road, who asked to remain anonymous, said she placed signs on roads and asked others to help spread the word that she has opened up her property for evacuees to bring vehicles, camper trailers or tents and stay as long as needed. Her son, who also wishes to remain nameless, said as of Aug. 24 there was still plenty of room. “Pets are welcome and we can even board

horses and other animals if anyone needs a place for them,” the son said. Earlier this week the camp had a few very friendly dogs and one evacuee with a pet pig. Somerset resident Bob Bossard and his girlfriend Beth Anderson, along with their dogs Sam and Cooper, were two newcomers to the El Dorado evacuation site. Now living out of a tent, they said their house is located off Sheer Bliss Road, the first right turn off Caldor Road in Grizzly Flat. “We are so grateful for the woman and her son who live here,” said Anderson, noting that the owners of the property are letting evacuees use their washer and dryer and bathroom. Bossard and Anderson said they were evacuated Aug. 17 at about 3:30 a.m. At about midnight the couple looked out to the night sky and knew they needed to start packing. They said their neighbor with a steel cargo container let them store some of their belongings inside. The two then loaded their car with essentials, their two dogs and three cats. A friend of theirs paid for the cats to be boarded at a local kennel. Anderson said she is looking in to receiving help from Animal Services to house the cats going forward as she heard they can help for no charge. “Bottom line is our pets are our top priority — we are lucky to have our pets with us, a couple of shirts, some socks and we’re fine,” said Anderson, adding, “Knowing where we live, you kind of prepare in advance, so I’ve taken photos of photos and they are all on Ancestry.com where they are in a safe spot.” She said she had recently taken a family heirloom player-piano to get fixed up and had not hauled it back to her house yet, having left it in her classroom at Cosumnes River Elementary in Sloughhouse where she is a teacher. El Dorado County officials are maintaining a Caldor Fire information website at edcgov. us/Pages/Caldor-Fire.aspx where evacuees can find current information on local Red Cross shelters.

■ TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because there is always more to learn, you’re seldom bored. The exception is the case in which circumstances disallow you to follow your curiosity. A restriction will lift — hooray! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll find yourself in a fascinating position. The next 48 hours are marked by boldness and unpredictability. Because no one, not even you, is sure how this will go, all eyes are on you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you martyr yourself in the name of friendship, you’ll only end up resenting your friend. The best reason to make a sacrifice is for how it defines you to yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s hard to see the value of an opportunity on its face. You must proceed down the winding corridor in hopes it actually leads somewhere good. Even if you have to turn around and go back, at least your curiosity will be satisfied. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a keen instinct for when to get in and out of things. If you’re in it, it’s because you want to be. To stick with something because of the sunken costs would be a prideful mistake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It takes boldness and self-awareness, but if you dare ask for what you want, you’ll save yourself from countless hours of struggle and frustration. If they can’t do it, you’ll know quick. If they can... satisfaction!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In today’s endeavor, you cannot have both perfection and practicality. Pick one. Hint: happiness is choosing options existing within the realm of possibility. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is a purpose behind your communication and behavior, though not everyone will understand it. Spell it out and get the support you need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Social scientists suggest most untrained people do not read emotional expressions as accurately as they think they can. It’s worth it for you to make special efforts to tune yourself into the feelings of others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When others around you don’t acknowledge the reality you are experiencing, question it. Maybe they are afraid. Maybe they are waiting for the leader. Say what’s on your mind; speak the truth you see. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In the case of incompatible desires or mutually exclusive agendas, no amount of persuasion will alter the course. You know where you stand. What you encounter is not worth bending for. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Efforts are rewarded, though not always by their reciprocation. An attempt to connect will result in something positive, regardless of whether the connection actually takes place.

Continued from A4

As noted in a recent article in National Geographic, the lack of federal regulations over how animals are kept is like a form of subsidy to factory farms, which are then free to do almost anything they want to increase production per dollar of investment. This especially rewards the “large-scale farms that densely pack their facilities with pigs, putting smaller farms that give their pigs more space at an economic disadvantage.” Good luck, traditional family farms. Small wonder their numbers have dwindled to near extinction. According to National Geographic, since 1992 the number of farms in Iowa has decreased by 80% while the number of pigs has risen — as small farms are replaced by industrial-scale CAFOs. Some smaller farms, however, are banding together to fight back. Niman Ranch, for example, is a coalition of 740 family farms in Iowa, where sows live outside on pasture or in groups in barns, with freedom to engage in natural behaviors like digging and

nesting. Products from Niman Ranch and similarly oriented producers will be welcome on California’s grocery shelves after Prop. 12 provisions go into effect. I hope consumers will understand why the added cost of such items will be well worth the difference it makes in animals’ lives. Ultimately, I hope all animals raised for food can be afforded a decent life and a humane death. At least it seems there’s momentum building in that direction. The Brits are right. Animals are sentient beings. Not just our beloved dogs and cats, but all vertebrates (and likely some invertebrates as well, as the astonishing “My Octopus Teacher” movie makes clear). Let’s admit it at long last and act accordingly.

Four-legged Continued from A1 Shelter there are 478 animals — 298 cats, 107 dogs and 73 various types, including birds, tortoises and others. The Amador County Fairgrounds is housing 531 large animals from horses to pigs, to goats and sheep. Saureel Vineyards in Lotus is housing 532 large animals. No animals are housed at El Dorado County Fairgrounds while it is being used as the basecamp for firefighting efforts. Chantel Tieman of Hold Your Horses has been on the incident since the first days of the fire. “We were requested through the El Dorado County OES,” she said. “We came in last Tuesday and we are grateful to be able to help.” Much of the work they are doing now is going to homes and feeding animals left behind in evacuation zones. “Every animal that is called on to be fed, is being fed,” said Tieman. Some owners who decided to leave their

The Hold Your Horses Team will then assign someone to go and rescue those animals and bring them to the appropriate shelter location, according to Tieman. Other private entities are helping where they can. Evacuation Teams of Amador has been helping rescue large animals, transporting

them to Laughton Ranch in Jackson. “We have more than 450 animals, including goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, alpacas, cows … a little bit of everything,” Dr. Raelynn Brister of Evacuation Teams of Amador said. Competition Canine in Placerville is currently housing 27 cats, 3 Chihuahuas, a small terrier and a box turtle named Thaddeus in its

dog training facilities. Competition Canine is still able to take small dogs and cats at its location on Green Valley Road. “We are happy to help in any way we can,” said Ann McQuillen, owner operator. “We will take any small animals,” she said referring to folks with reptiles, etc. Reptile and bird owners must bring the animal’s own habitat and necessities.

bathrooms and showers, Wilkinson Portables has donated potable water and Ace Hardware has donated propane for cooking. Even victims of the Caldor Fire have stepped up to help their own communities. “Actual evacuees from the fire have been our biggest supporters for the donation center (at Bayside),” Rebolcaba said. Soto said there was a couple who, after evacuating and losing their home, helped clean the church’s showers for about two hours, even saying “thank you” to the pastor for allowing them to serve. Another lady who lost her Grizzly Flat home donated a $3,500 check, according to Soto. “I’m humbled. This is what being a human being is all about,” Soto said. “Every time I think about it, I cry.” Many other churches are also providing services to evacuees, including Cold Springs Community Church, Pollock Pines Community Church, Green Valley Community Church, Vantage Point, Calvary Chapel, Freedom Church, Solid Rock Church, New Hope Church, Foothill Church and Jesus Culture, among others. The Assistance League of Sierra Foothills, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives and strengthening the El Dorado County community through philanthropic programs and hands-on involvement, has started a Caldor Fire Fund to assist families affected by the blaze. The Assistance League is distributing 100% of all donations to fire victims. Donations are accepted at its website, assistanceleague.org/ sierra-foothills/. The nonprofit has raised about $4,800 in donations in a three-day span, said Wendy May Davis, who sits on the Assistance League Board of Directors. “We are looking forward to continue to provide funds for the Caldor victims as long as we are needed,” Davis said. “We know it will be a lengthy process and we are here to assist until this ends.” The El Dorado Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving those in need through the direct support of community and organizations, has distributed around $300,000 to about 550 families to date from their own Caldor Fire Fund, according to El Dorado Community Foundation community coordinator Hilary Mulligan. Mulligan said people whose homes are in a mandatory evacuation zone can fill out an application on their website at eldoradocf.org to receive some of these donated funds. All funds go to Caldor Fire victims. Anyone can donate funds at tinyurl.com/eah9x89t. The Breakroom in Shingle Springs is accepting donations for evacuees and offering free breakfast burritos, snacks and coffee. Brittany Sampson and Audrey Pearce, owners of the restaurant, have taken on the task with the mentality that “if anyone needs food or donated items, they must need it more than we do.” They began their mission last week. “(Evacuees) are welcome to just come in and go straight to the back room and get supplies and know that there is breakfast waiting for them without having to go through the awkwardness of having to explain their situation,” Sampson said. Sampson and Pearce are asking for donations of new underwear and socks, shampoo, conditioner, flashlights, batteries and gift cards. Pizza Factory on Broadway in Placerville is providing $25 per family toward free pizza, pasta, salads and sandwiches. The pizzeria is also matching donations to provide free food to victims/evacuees of the blaze. “It’s just really sad to see all these people, regulars that come in who have lost their homes,” said Megan Pearson, Pizza Factory shift lead. Kings Meats in Diamond Springs held a free

spaghetti dinner last Friday evening and a free tri-tip dinner Saturday for fire evacuees. The owners of the butcher shop last week started offering free meals to evacuees and first responders. They were also donating half of purchases made to the El Dorado Community Foundation Caldor Fire Fund to aid fire victims.

These are just a few local folks, businesses and organizations out of many answering the call to help evacuees. According to the California Office of Emergency Services, there are 24,500 El Dorado County residents currently evacuated.

Gold Hill Country Music Festival to benefit the Caldor Fire Fund Russell Reyes Kilt & Cork

usic lovers who want to enjoy a day out and support an urgent cause are in luck. Kilt & Cork LLC has announced that the Thompson Auto Group Gold Hill Country Music Festival set for Sept. 4 at Saureel Vineyards will now benefit the Caldor Fire Fund, a fund set up by the El Dorado Community Foundation to assist those impacted by the fire raging in southern El Dorado County. “As soon as we saw the devastation this fire was having on members of our community, we knew we had to help,” said Russ Reyes from Kilt & Cork, who is producing the festival. “Living and working in this county the last 30 years, we all know someone who is impacted by this fire. Rather than feeling helpless, we want to do something to aid the victims.” The venue itself, Saureel Vineyards, 1140 Cold Springs in Placerville, is currently operating as a large animal rescue center, housing more than 560 displaced animals from the county. The rescue is being managed by South County Large Animal Rescue and has been coordinated with El Dorado County. Vineyard owner Tim Sauer explained, “If you have lost your home to this Caldor Fire, we want you to be our guest at the Thompson Auto Group Gold Hill Country Music Festival. Come have fun, enjoy great music and be around people who genuinely care for you.” People who have lost their homes are encouraged to to reach out to Tanya Campbell of Kilt & Cork to set up their guest access. Contact Campbell at tanya@ kiltandcork.com. “In addition, we want to thank all of our first responders and medical professionals who have been dealing with so many crises this past year, from COVID-19 to these devastating fires, so we are offering them tickets at 50% off,” said Reyes. “Just visit our website kiltandcork.com for more information.”

The music Gold Hill Country Music Festival is the first country music festival in the Sierra foothills to feature top ranked, hit-making Nashville talent as well as the best local country bands. Headlining the show is the

Jones will be sure to get those boots scootin’! Rounding out the line up are local and regional favorites North Forty Country, The Kenny Frye Band and The Country Cougars.

Quincy’s story stood out to Debbie Griest and she knew she had to paint him, above left. Griest donates the original prints to LTWC, as well as 100% of proceeds from prints and cards.

ANIMAL INSPIRATION

Tahoe artist’s portraits raise money for wildlife care Laney Griffo Tahoe Daily Tribune

OUTH LAKE TAHOE— A South Lake Tahoe artist gets her inspiration from wildlife and, in return, gives back to them with the proceeds from her art sales. Debbie Griest taught business and finance at Lake Tahoe Community College for 14 years before deciding to pursue art. She received a fine arts degree from San Jose State University and practiced her art full time in Monterey for 15 years. In 2019 she returned to South Lake to continue

her creative endeavors. Griest specializes in watercolor and oil painting and she draws her inspiration from wildlife and nature. She’s always given back to the animals in her communities with 50% of her sales going to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care. “That’s nice but it wasn’t really enough for what I wanted to do to help animals so I’ve also donated artwork to a lot of organizations for their fundraising,” Griest said. Then, last summer, she said she was looking at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care’s Instagram. All the animals she saw

were cute and one, Quincy the bear, really stood out. He was a young black bear that had been hit by a car and left on the side of the road. A couple realized he was still alive and LTWC nursed him back to health. He thrived and was released back into the wild. “Quincy was so cute and I just had to paint him,” Griest said. She created the adorable bear’s portrait using pictures LTWC posted on Instagram. “Since it’s not my property, I thought, well, maybe they could use this painting,” Griest explained.

News release SAN FRANCISCO — The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco celebrate pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago with the first retrospective of her work. Spanning from her early engagement with the Californian Light and Space Movement in the 1960s to her most current body of work — a searing investigation of mortality and environmental devastation — the exhibition will include about 150 paintings, drawings, ceramic sculptures, prints and videos that chart the boundary-pushing path of the artist. Judy Chicago: A Retrospective, opening Aug. 28 through Jan. 9, 2022, is presented on the heels of the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote across the United States. “Judy Chicago is an artist of exceptional foresight and consequence, who is long overdue for the deep look into her artistic output that this retrospective will provide,” said Thomas P. Campbell, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “I am proud to say that Judy Chicago: A Retrospective is one in a series of groundbreaking exhibitions at the de Young that pay homage to artists who have historically been undervalued based on their race or gender.” One of the founding forces behind the 1970s feminist art movement, Chicago became widely known for her landmark installation “The Dinner Party.” The massive work shone a spotlight on women’s contributions to history. It featured table settings that honored ancient female deities such as Ishtar and Kali, historical figures like Hildegarde of Bingen and Sojourner Truth and artists in many mediums, from Emily Dickinson to Georgia O’Keeffe. Upon its completion in 1979, after more than five years of work and with contributions from dozens of volunteers, “The Dinner Party” was presented in San Francisco to large crowds and popular success and proceeded to be shown to audiences on an

“On Fire at 80,” Judy Chicago, 2019, archival inkjet print. international tour to 15 cities in five countries. Art critics, however, responded differently, annihilating “The Dinner Party” for its celebration of vaginal imagery and embrace of “feminine” craft. During the 1980s and 1990s, Chicago experienced a sexist and elitist backlash in which she was deemed too popular with the general public and too overtly political for the art world. Over the years, “The Dinner Party” has become recognized as one of the iconic artworks of its time and Chicago’s entire oeuvre has moved back into the limelight and into the attentions of both critics and institutions. “If you live long enough, you never know what is going to happen. The retrospective at the de Young museum is a great opportunity for me to step out of the shadow cast by ‘The Dinner Party,’” said Chicago. Judy Chicago: A Retrospective is the first exhibition to offer a comprehensive overview of Chicago’s astonishing career. Tracing the artist’s practice back to its roots, it will reveal her unique working process — sometimes alone, other times collaborating with her husband, colleagues or a wider circle of volunteers — and the origins of the formal and conceptual strategies she has applied throughout her oeuvre. Bringing together a representative selection drawn from every major series of her work, it will also feature sketchbooks, journals and preparatory drawings that document her extensive process of research and development. “Judy Chicago: A Retrospective will reveal the continued radicality of Chicago’s practice, both in her choice of subject matter and embrace of media traditionally excluded from the art historical canon,” said Claudia Schmuckli, curator in charge of Contemporary Art and Programming at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “To this day, her art is activist in its

foundations. It is driven by the need and desire for social justice and an insistence on aesthetic strategies that don’t require knowledge of art history or critical theory to be legible, while being informed by both.” Judy Chicago: A Retrospective will be on view Aug. 28 through Jan. 9, 2022, at the de Young museum, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive in San Francisco. The exhibition is organized by Claudia Schmuckli, Curator in Charge of Contemporary Art and Programming at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

In Detail Judy Chicago: A Retrospective will include a number of works that Chicago produced as a young artist in Los Angeles. Developed in response to the reigning minimalist aesthetic, painting series such as “Pasadena Lifesavers” and “Fresno Fans” and sculptures such as “Rainbow Pickett” and “Sunset Squares” demonstrate her early interest in fringe techniques. Having enrolled in auto body school to learn practices not taught at art school, Chicago produced a number of spray-painted car hoods, hung on the wall like paintings. The series’ bold, biomorphic imagery is represented in the exhibition by works such as “Birth Hood” and “Bigamy Hood.” After decades of trying to fit into the structure of a patriarchal society and at a time of grief for the loss of her father and her young husband, Chicago decided to change her name and history. In October 1970 she announced her chosen identity with a fullpage ad in Artforum, divesting herself of “all names imposed upon her through male social dominance.” She proceeded to found the first feminist arts education program in the United States and then co-found the Feminist Studio Workshop and the Woman’s Building, ■

Grace Kelly to entertain at Plymouth winery News release

njoy the unequivocal musical prodigy that is Grace Kelly at the beautiful tasting room and event center at CG Di Arie Winery in Plymouth Saturday, Aug. 28. Nestled in the Sierra foothills, Di Arie Winery is a picturesque destination with seating in an open-air, magical setting set amid a flowering hillside of trellised vineyards all shaded by majestic oak trees. At this concert guest will enjoy Di Arie’s award-winning wines and, to make this a truly amazing experience, you can opt to purchase a ticket that includes a delicious threecourse dinner provided by Taste Restaurant. Kelly has rocked the jazz world with sold-out concerts, 13 acclaimed albums and a résumé that includes performing at the Hollywood Bowl and as part of the house band for “The Late Show with Stephen

Colbert” — all before reaching her mid-20s. Kelly’s early career featured performances at Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration at the age of 16 and at 14 as a soloist with the Boston Pops playing an original composition arranged for the legendary orchestra; she has since played more than 900 shows as a bandleader in 35 countries at venues like the Kennedy Center and Moscow Symphony Hall and for the Montreal, Newport and Montreux International Jazz festivals. Touted for her scorching saxophone stylings and purring vocals, Kelly has performed and recorded with renowned artists, including Lin Manuel-Miranda, Dave Brubeck, Phil Woods, Huey Lewis, Harry Connick Jr., Gloria Estefan, Questlove and Wynton Marsalis. CG Di Arie Winery is located at 19919 Shenandoah School Road in Plymouth, For tickets and more information visit cgdiarie.com.

Grace Kelly brings her musical talents to Plymouth Aug. 28.

CRC hosts online music show News release The Cosumnes River College Music Department continues its unique series of online performances as a way to serve students “outside the classroom.” While some classes are now in person, the college remains in a mostly online teaching environment and the music program is responding with creative ways of reaching its students and community. The music department created CRC Music: In the Studio a year ago as a weekly series featuring innovative artists who pushed the boundaries in their fields. The series also highlighted student voices through a series of open mics and student ensemble performances. The series was so successful, the music department decided to continue the program, which begins this Friday, Aug. 27, at noon with CRC President Edward Bush’s Presidential Playlist. “This series is a tremendous opportunity for

our students to interact weekly with world class artists from across North America, including some right here in our own backyard,” said CRC Music Professor Kurt Erickson. Erickson added that the CRC music department is taking the lead by providing innovative programming one would expect to find at worldrenowned, four-year universities, not at the community college level. The innovation of putting something like The CRC Music: In the Studio together is what is putting this department at the forefront of creative programming in the community. The In the Studio events take place at noon each Friday and feature a rotation of special guests, student performances and workshops with live Q&A.

Griest Continued from B2 can also be reminded of the story of the actual animals and all the proceeds go to the animals at the center,” Griest said. In addition to the work Griest does for LTWC, she is also featured in Emanate Gallery in South Lake Tahoe and half the proceeds from pieces sold there go to LTWC. She also has art featured in galleries in Monterey and half of the proceeds from those sales go to the Marine Mammal Center. “I feel like that’s a really good match for me because I’m using my art and helping with the care of the animals,” Griest said. With all the new babies LTWC have received this summer, Griest said she’s got her work cut out for her. But she said she’s OK with that because, as she explained, the animals are all so cute. To purchase any of her LTWC animal pieces visitltwc.org/productcategory/art-prints. To see Griest’s art visit debbiegriestart.com.

celebrating and nourishing the creative growth and recognition of female artists from around the world. Judy Chicago: A Retrospective will include prints, films and other archival materials celebrating Chicago’s pioneering educational role. A section will be dedicated to Chicago’s first foray into “central core imagery” imagery, which became central to the conception of “The Dinner Party.” “The Reincarnation Triptych” (1973) will be presented along with her earliest paintings, including “Through the Flower 2” (1973), that openly embraced female sexuality and desire after having received harsh criticism for her series of biomorphic car hoods. “The Dinner Party” (1974-1979), permanently installed in the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, will be represented by preparatory studies, cartoons, drawings, ceramic test plates as well as related archival materials as a project in the making. In addition, the film “Right Out of History: The Making of Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party” will be on view, providing visitors to the exhibition an in-depth look at the extensive process involved. “The Birth Project” (1980–1985), which grew out of her research for “The Dinner Party,” was Chicago’s direct response to the absence of imagery related to birthing as one of the most foundational female experiences. As with “The Dinner Party,” she relied on the help of collaborators, creating the 80-plus works in this series with the help of female volunteers all over the United States, Canada and New

“Two Faced Toby Mug No. 12,” Judy Chicago, 2010 Zealand. Painted and needle-worked images, such as “Earth Birth,” vividly illustrate creation and the process of giving birth through powerful female forms depicted as both divine and connected to the Earth. The series “PowerPlay” (1982–1987) examines gender as a construct couched in ambiguity. Works such as “Driving the World to Destruction” and “Crippled by the Need to Control/Blind Individuality” portray exaggeratedly muscular male figures reminiscent of Renaissance-era nudes, grasping a steering wheel or physically handling females. Chicago inextricably links her protagonists’ performance of masculinity to a brutal

struggle with their feminine inner selves, painting a searing portrait of patriarchy’s hunger for power and dominance. The result of a charged, eight-year investigation that began with her Jewish roots and heritage, but ultimately came to consider genocides around the world, the “Holocaust Project: From Darkness into Light” (1985–1993) investigates the dynamics and manifestations of power beyond societal structures. Created by Chicago and her husband, photographer Donald Woodman, with the help of a group of artisans, the series is a haunting body of work that tackles our understanding of humanity. In the exhibition it is represented by “The Fall,” an 18-foot-wide Aubusson tapestry, and “Rainbow Shabbat,” a monumental stained-glass window installation. Works from Chicago’s latest series “The End: A Meditation on Death and Extinction” (2015–2019) will confront visitors with a meditation of mortality and the human impact on the natural environment. Executed in multi-fired paint on glass and bronze, works like “How Will I Die?” cast an unrelenting eye on the process of dying, while “Vulnerable,” “Targeted” and “Poached” portray animals whose near-extinction is caused by human (in)action. Founded in 1895 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the de Young museum has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of the city and a cherished destination for millions of residents and visitors to the region.

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 Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 012366-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 012366-CA 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.

RCRC announces winner of Rural Photo Contest Carolyn Jhajj Rural County Representatives of California SACRAMENTO — The Rural County Representatives of California announces the winner of the 2021 Rural County Photo Contest, with this year’s first place prize going to Ramiro Ruiz for his spectacular photo of a sunset over a lettuce field in the town of Chualar in Monterey County. Photographers, amateur and professional alike, from all over California submitted photographs in this year’s Rural County photo contest, capturing the splendor of California’s rural counties. Titled “Field of Green” Ruiz’ photo highlights the beauty of agriculture, which is an integral part of so many rural communities in California. Ruiz is a resident of Monterey County and works as an agricultural mechanic. He has a passion for photographing the agricultural landscapes he encounters in his daily life and has received high honors for his photography in the past. “Congratulations to Mr. Ruiz upon this wonderful recognition of his ability to blend his work and passion into one,” said Monterey County Supervisor and RCRC Board Delegate Chris Lopez. “His photo highlights the beauty of our agricultural landscape, it brings into focus the contributions of rural California to our nation’s food supply and has brought top recognition to Monterey County.” The RCRC Board of Directors chose the winning photograph, including the second and third place finalists, at its Aug. 18 board meeting with the county of origin revealed after the board’s decision. Miranda Moore received second place for her photo displaying a field of flowers overlooking the Humboldt County coastline and Gil Rebollar received third place for his photo of a sunset illuminating over a body of water in Imperial County.

“Field of Green” by Ramiro Ruiz The RCRC Rural County Photo Contest was established to promote tourism and local economic development through showcasing the beautiful landscape, scenery, activities, history and charm of RCRC’s member counties. Ruiz’ image will be

prominently displayed during RCRC’s 2021 annual meeting in Monterey County in September and may be featured in various RCRC marketing materials or work products, along with other photo submissions, throughout the next year.
