Eldorado National Forest firefighters head up the Caldor Fire at Trimmer Peak in South Lake Tahoe.

Fire crews flown into the backcountry to fight Caldor Thomas Frey Staff writer Many residents of areas threatened by the Caldor Fire have seen evacuation orders lifted in the last week as firefighters edge the 216,646-acre forest fire. Cal Fire and U.S. Forest Service officials reported containment grew from 37% Saturday morning to 49% by Tuesday morning. Some areas that have experienced warmer temperatures and lower humidity can’t be confirmed as contained, according to Eric Schwab, Cal Fire operations section chief. “We like to get these lines tested under different weather events before we call it contained,” Schwab said. “We have to be reasonably assured that the fire is going to stay within that perimeter. We will hesitate to call something contained until (it) gets wind tested.” PLACE ADDRESS LABEL HERE

area. The fixed-wing aircraft dip into nearby Lake Tahoe and drop some 1,600 gallons of water each load. “That aircraft doesn’t put out fire but it supports the boots on the ground and that’s exactly what it’s doing in there … and we are going to continue that as long as we have clean air,” Cagle said. Near upper and lower Echo Lake fire officials reported structure prep of cabins has been completed as firefighters try to hold the fire to the south and west. “It’s looking good there,” Cagle said. A contingency containment line has been constructed along Wrights Lake Road almost all the way up to the lake itself. Schwab reported an additional contingency line cuts mid-slope from Wrights to Ice House Road, paralleling Highway 50 and then

Fire crews have been helicoptered into Desolation Wilderness east of Wrights Lake where they “camp out” for multiple days to battle the blaze.

Fire leveled a Rescue home early Saturday morning. At 2:13 a.m. Rescue, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, El Dorado County and Cal Fire firefighting crews were dispatched to a reported house fire in the 2300 block of Howard Drive in the Green Springs neighborhood. The roughly 4,000-square-foot home was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on scene, EDH/Rescue Fire Chief Maurice Johnson told the Mountain Democrat. “Fire hydrants are sparse in this area and presented challenges maintaining water to the scene of the fire,” Johnson said. “The family did an excellent job with the defensible space around their home, which ultimately helped keep the fire from spreading through the neighborhood in the vegetation.” A family of three escaped the flames without injury. No firefighter injuries were reported. The cause is under investigation and the home is a total loss estimated at $900,000.

Placerville studies broadband future Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer In rural communities internet connectivity can be hard to come by but that has the potential to change in Placerville, according to City Manager Cleve Morris. City leaders have been studying how to implement broadband in the city of Placerville. The last 18-plus months of quarantine, homeschooling, video chatting with family and Zoom meetings have illuminated one simple fact: high-speed internet access is no longer an extravagance; it is a necessity. “We’ve been looking at it for some time but I

Wildlife displaced by Caldor receive aid Miranda Jacobson Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The Caldor Fire displaced thousands of Lake Tahoe residents last week but for the last three weeks, Sierra wildlife has also been fleeing flames. There are many “on the ground” agencies that have been helping in the wake of this disaster through rescuing and treating animals at temporary shelters, transporting them when needed and taking them to other animal shelters nearby. In an effort to help support these

frontline workers and the animals being displaced, the Dave and Cheryl Duffield Foundation announced last week it would be awarding $1 million to 29 different organizations for rescuing and rehabilitating these animals. “We are honored to be able to support the efforts of these outstanding organizations who are doing everything they can to help animals being affected by the Caldor Fire,” said executive director of the foundation, Jerleen Bryant. “The

Mary Ann Schroth

April 13, 1924 - Aug. 3, 2021

Mary Ann passed away Aug. 3 peacefully at her home. She was born in Placerville to Wilson and Henriette Bryan and graduated from El Dorado High School in 1941. In 1943 she was awarded the Grand Cross of Color in the Order of Rainbow Girls and went on to become a Worthy Advisor. In 1947 she married James Schroth. She devoted the early years of their marriage to raising her three daughters. Later she went to work part time at Combellack’s and then Bank of America. She went on to work full time at Mother Lode Bank. She retired from Security Pacific Bank as a new accounts representative. Mary Ann was a wealth of knowledge about the local history and families of this area and was happy to share that knowledge with others. She enjoyed volunteering at the El Dorado County Historical Museum and was active on the Cemetery Advisory Committee. She would often visit people and share with them information she found about their family. She loved camping, fishing, hiking and in her later years antiquing. She has gathered an extensive genealogy of both hers and her husbands families. She loved to drive and was generous with her time, often taking friends to appointments and shopping. She was always there when family or friends needed a helping hand. At the end of the day she enjoyed relaxing with a canned Manhattan. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her husband James Schroth; brother Clinton Bryan and daughter Melanie Lyman. She is survived by her daughters Toni Post (Devin) and Terry Cola (Lance); granddaughter Jamie Cola; grandson Bryan Cola, and great-granddaughter Lilas Bersamina. A memorial will be held at a later time.

Fiery crash claims life Mountain Democrat staff A man died in a fiery crash in Placerville early Sunday morning when his truck hit a tree along Highway 50 and caught fire, according to the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol. The man was driving a 2021 Ford westbound reportedly at a high rate of speed on the El Dorado Road offramp of Highway 50 when he crossed El Dorado Road, crashed through a metal guardrail and then struck a large tree. The Ford caught fire and became fully engulfed in flames. The man was not able to escape. As of Monday morning the driver had not been identified by the El Dorado County coroner. Fire extended into nearby vegetation but local fire crews called to the scene were able to halt the blaze at one-quarter acre. The man was reportedly wearing a seatbelt.

Sierra-at-Tahoe assesses Caldor Fire damage Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Shortly after the Caldor Fire reached Sierra-at-Tahoe, the communities in the South Lake Tahoe area were evacuated, prompting employees and friends to pack their essentials and seek refuge away from the Tahoe Basin. “Being patient for information has been one of the greatest challenges, as Sierra is more than just a ski resort; it’s our community … it’s our home,” said Director of Marketing at Sierra Katie Hunter. “I was glued to the webcams, cringing at the images in the night, not knowing what would become of our beloved Sierra,” said Hunter. “But my heart has been restored with hope after learning that our mountain was resilient through the inferno.” The Caldor Fire passed through Sierra burning trees in various spots around the mountain, but also left many areas unscathed. The Nob Hill and Castle Creek areas of the resort were some of the most impacted based

on initial reports, but further inspection of the entire mountain will need to be completed to assess damage. Off the mountain, the maintenance shop located at the base was destroyed along with Chill Carpet, a surface lift utilized primarily by beginners learning their first turns on the front side of the mountain. Preventive work completed by staff and firefighters on the ground saved all base area buildings and lodges located on the mountain. With Highway 50 still closed and access to the resort prohibited, fire crews and personnel are on site to continue monitoring hot spots to prevent further damage to the resort. When the smoke clears and air quality improves, Sierra will engage with specialists in fire damage restoration to assess everything from hazard trees and lifts to buildings and power to check for heat, smoke and collateral damage. In an address to his staff General Manager John Rice said, “I have been blessed for so many years to be part of a great place, the people

We will be back, to celebrate our 75th anniversary with our Sierra family this winter.” With hope for the situation to stabilize soon the Sierra-at-Tahoe team looks forward to persevering through the challenges ahead and are optimistic that they will resume preparations for the upcoming 202122 winter season.

Property tax relief available to help out wildfire victims News release SACRAMENTO – With wildfires raging throughout California, State Board of Equalization Member Ted Gaines reminds those affected they may be eligible for property tax relief. “We are currently experiencing a number of devastating wildfires ravaging California with hundreds of structures lost or damaged, and the season isn’t close to being over,” said Gaines. “Although property taxes aren’t the first thing that come to mind when dealing with the aftermath of a wildfire, the next property tax installment is due to local counties in a few short months this December. I’m a taxpayer advocate looking to help Californians at all times and especially during extraordinary hardship. It is important families and small businesses impacted by these disasters understand the available resources and relief so they can begin to rebuild their lives.” This summer a state of emergency was declared in response to the fires occurring within 12 specific counties, nearly all

located within Gaines’ district, including Alpine, Amador, Butte, El Dorado, Lassen, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Tehama, Trinity, Shasta, and Siskiyou. Affected properties in proclaimed disaster areas may qualify for property tax relief so long as the loss estimate is at least $10,000 of the current market

value of the property. In many cases, the damaged property can be reappraised in its current condition, with some taxes refunded to the property owner. Once rebuilt, the property’s pre-damaged value will be restored. The BOE serves a critical role in ■

THE DISCOMFORT OF UNEXPECTED DENTAL EXPENSES

Dental pain can be ruthless. Throbbing, swelling, infection, sensitivity, and disruption of eating and drinking may all result from an unexpected dental problem. Often, the cost of emergency dental work, even with the best insurance plans, may require time-consuming approval periods, adds to the pain. Recently, many practices have introduced financial assistance platforms that assist patients without breaking the bank. One such innovator, CareCredit, finances medical and dental procedures. These financial programs have various rates, even for those with poor credit. Platforms allow an initial low or no interest payment period permitting patients to pay in installments. The stipulation is that once the grace period ends, the interest rate escalates,

which can be costly, depending on the procedure. Dentistry is an investment in the most important thing you possess—your body. And like any good investment, it will require some expenditure of time and effort. We can think of no better investment than one that will give you many years of comfort, better health, and a more youthful, pleasant appearance. If you have questions about the health of your teeth and gums, please feel free to call us. Comfortable, comprehensive dental services await you at out office. Be sure to ask us about the dental insurance we accept and payment plans offered. P. S. CareCredit has been providing valuable financing options for treatments and procedures for over 30 years.

California Commentary

Help repeal the Prop. 19 death tax

hether you’re looking at historic election results or recent polling, it’s clear beyond any doubt that Californians hate death taxes. Back in 1982 voters overwhelmingly approved two ballot measures to abolish Jon COupal state inheritance and gift taxes — not only abolish them, but ban them permanently. A few years later, rising property values had created a new kind of death tax. Property that was transferred within families was being reassessed to market value at the time of transfer and because real estate prices had gone up so sharply, property that was transferred at the time of death brought with it a new annual property tax bill that was often unaffordable. Grieving families unable to pay the new tax bills were forced to sell family properties. The political heat became so intense that the Legislature passed, by State law should unanimous vote in both allow families houses a measure that to keep the said homes and a limited amount of other property properties their would be excluded from parents worked so reassessment when hard to acquire. transferred between parents and children. This measure was Proposition 58 on the 1986 ballot. It was approved by more than 75% of voters. Ten years later voters approved Proposition 193 to extend the same tax rules to transfers of property between grandparents and grandchildren when the children’s parents were deceased. Sadly, all these protections for California families were swept away by Proposition 19 last November. Many voters did not realize that this measure, presented in a costly ad campaign as something that would help wildfire victims, disabled people and seniors, also took away the constitutional protections that for decades had helped families climb the economic ladder by building generational wealth through property ownership. To restore those constitutional protections for California families, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has just filed an initiative with the attorney general’s office. The Repeal the Death Tax Act would reinstate Propositions 58 and 193. Parents would once again be able to transfer a home and a limited amount of other property to their children without triggering reassessment and a property tax increase. State law should allow families to keep the properties their parents worked so hard to acquire. To further protect California families, we’ve added an adjustment for inflation that will help the next generation continue to own small family businesses like restaurants and mom-and-pop n

Letters to the Editor Please get vaccinated EDITOR: ear community, We are your physicians, nurses and healthcare providers. We are also your neighbors, your friends and your relatives. We have had the honor of caring for you for years. We have been there to deliver your babies, to save lives in emergencies, to protect you from a heart attack and you have trusted us with your most personal secrets. Please trust us with this: get vaccinated. We ask this with all sincerity and concern for you and everyone in this small community we call home. We have seen what COVID can do, how lives have changed and tragically how some lives have ended. Please get vaccinated. Infections are on the rise and it’s getting worse, not better. What used to be primarily a disease that affected the elderly is now striking down our young people. We are seeing teenagers struggling to breathe on oxygen, pregnant patients who are suffering and 30-year-olds on life support. It doesn’t need to be this way. We have studied the data and we know the benefits of vaccination. The COVID vaccines are very safe and highly effective. While they aren’t completely protective from preventing COVID, without a doubt, they keep you out of the hospital and prevent you from dying. If you have any questions about this, please talk to one of us. Lastly, we must admit we are tired. It’s not just the physical and mental exhaustion of working long hours, but we are tired of the suffering, pain and death that can be avoided. Yes, with the vaccine, COVID can be a thing of the past. And we all long to return to a life free from fear and free from masks. We are not asking you to do anything that we have not already done. We are all vaccinated. You have always entrusted us with all aspects of your health and our collective advice is this: please get vaccinated.

Support our veterans monument EDITOR: ecently I went up to the government center to visit El Dorado County’s veterans memorial. I didn’t really know what to expect but what I found was amazing. The

memorial dedicated in 2006 on the corner of Fair Lane and Ray Lawyer Drive across the street from the library is quite impressive for our relatively small county. It honors exceptional individuals, military units and events with engraved plaques or benches and also honors local veterans with engraved bricks or markers. Even the flagpoles have plaques on them and there is a beautiful view. The front of the monument consists of four 3-inch-thick sheets of polished Dakota granite suspended from the monument’s face where most of the larger plaques are placed — intended to honor acts of valor. Two granite sheets are already full and the remaining two have limited space for additional honorees. There is a need to expand the monument to allow for additional plaques. In 109 years El Dorado County has been the home of six veterans with the possibility of an additional two not confirmed from World War II who were awarded our nation’s highest awards for valor, the Medal of Honor or one of the three service cross medals — Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross or the Air Force Cross. This is a high percentage compared to rural counties nationwide. A proposal by a nonpartisan group of El Dorado County veterans to construct a tribute to acknowledge these exceptional veterans was rejected by the EDC Board of Supervisors recently and needs your support. The proposed expansion would be specifically for those El Dorado County veterans who are recipients of our nation’s highest awards for valor. The proposed Valor Plaza would occupy an existing concrete pad adjacent to the main walkway at the highest point on the monument grounds and would add a polished, 9-foot-tall Dakota granite obelisk atop a 3-foot base, which would display each of the recipient’s citations in bronze. The community has already pledged to fund the $30,000 cost of the obelisk and with your support and the support of the county and the monument’s custodian, we could complete this expansion hopefully in time for Veterans Day, Nov. 11. This strategic proposal benefits the county, the veterans monument, our community and its commitment to veterans. Please write or call your supervisor to support this effort and go and see our very special monument for yourself. DAWN WOLFSON Cameron Park

our politicians are subscribing to these Manson ideas of destroying the country from within. First Antifa stopped free speech and barred certain speakers at colleges. Then colleges themselves began keeping free thought from occurring at their campuses. Then came the Ferguson riots followed by those in Minneapolis. Riots allowed by leftist leaders of Marxist cities, with their significant Marxist populations, resulted in takeovers by malcontents, street thugs and Marxists in Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, St. Louis ... I could go on. Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, who wants to defund the police, has a security detail paid for by the city. She also said the looting of Chicago was OK as it was a form of reparations (was she saying most looters were Black?). Bill Di Blasio, mayor of New York, also hamstrung his police force while maintaining his city-funded security detail. Di Blasio, whose real name is Warren Wilhelm Jr., was raised by communist sympathizers and supported the socialist Sandinista government and revolution in Nicaragua. People are fleeing New York City because of di Blasio. Jenny

Durken, mayor of Seattle, allowed a no-police, anarchist zone during the riots. Seattle was a battle zone of anarchism and riots for weeks. How did that work out? Who’s orchestrating this “defiling” of America? Is it avowed leftist Sandy Cortez (AOC), who has advocated thrift store shopping to her audiences while she is ensconced in the latest designer outfits. Maybe it’s leftist, “I own three homes” Bernie Sanders. Or other members of the leftist Cortez squad? Maybe Rashid Tlaib, “good for thee but not for me,” the leftist squad member who wants mask mandates for everyone but herself (ditto for ex-bartender Cortez — and I write that in no derogation of an otherwise honorable profession). Maybe it’s George Soros. There are people buried deep in the bureaucracy who crave power against American ideals and work to destroy this country through the use of now meaningless words like racist and racism. If you don’t agree with the left, you’re a racist. But if you’re a white person, that in and of itself makes you a racist.

The Bruins defense brings down the Del Campo ball carrier Friday, left photo. Dylan Askey, right photo, celebrates with a teammate after tackling a Del Campo running back behind the line of scrimmage.

Pondo wins on last-second magic at Del Campo Thomas Frey Staff writer Ponderosa magic was brewing on the Bruins sideline as the sun sank below the trees at Del Campo High School late in the fourth quarter of Friday night action. The score was tied 19-19 with two minutes left and quarterback Ryan Hardt just wanted one more chance at the victory. The senior had already chucked two long touchdowns to Parker Varozza and Blake Russell and wanted another. “I was pacing; I was getting ready,” Hardt said. “I knew we still had a chance. I knew our defense has to come through.” The defense led by Russell and senior Andrew Cheney was playing

the fourth quarter with an intensity where allowing a single yard was unacceptable and with 1:06 to play in the game, they forced a punt and got the ball back to Hardt and the offense. “There was a burst of energy on the sideline. We were yelling; it was exciting,” Hardt said before strapping up his helmet and running back on the field. From their own 47-yard line Hardt took the snap and went back in the pocket. He looked at his options and decided the hole his offensive line created for him was the best option, darting off for a 12-yard gain. Hardt quickly got to the line and took the snap. “I was (under) a lot of pressure. (I) took a couple steps back to give me some time, give my wide receivers some more time. I put the ball out

there and Blake got there,” Hardt said. Hardt hit Russell for a 41-yard touchdown to give the Bruins a 26-19 lead with 50 seconds left. “I was really sore, really tired and I knew I had to pull through for my team,” Russell said. “I just did the best I could and got open and ended up in the end zone.” Russell entered the game’s final drive with three receptions for 77 yards and a multitude of tackles for loss as linebacker. Russell played every single snap on offense and defense and only exited the game on

kickoffs. “The best way to describe Blake is that he’s just a football player,” said Ponderosa head coach Davy Johnson. “He’s an old school football player. For a guy who plays like he does, never comes off the field and then ends up catching the game-winner, I mean, he’s just a great kid and he is the heart and soul of our culture.” Moments after catching the gamewinning touchdown Russell ran back on the field for one more defensive n

El Dorado junior wide receiver Ryan Wilson jukes out a Valley defender.

El Dorado’s 49-0 win on the road closes with prayer Thomas Frey Staff writer El Dorado scored first and often in the first half of its 49-0 win over Valley at Cosumnes River College in Elk Grove Thursday, but Valley scored the final points of the night as they gathered postgame to pray with their opponents — many of whom have been evacuated from their homes for weeks due to the destructive Caldor Fire. With his players battered and bruised, Valley head coach Ellis Jenkins called the El Dorado football team to midfield after the game. He brought both teams together and they prayed the Cougars would be able to return to their homes. “That was so nice what they did,” said head coach Christian Mahaffey, who was among the evacuated. “It was a class act.” The usual postgame handshake would not suffice — the opponents hugged instead. “Good game No. 18,” could be heard as well as calls to every player. Mathias Chatman wears No. 18 for Valley, and the do-it-all player, who passes, punts and protects the secondary defensively, had a tough time against the stout El Dorado defense. The Cougars defense was literally in the Valley backfield on every single play disrupting the offense. The linebacker core of senior Giovanni Pifferini, senior Evan Ward and junior Austin Fowler were

shutting down the Vikings’ run game that helped them to a 32-26 win in their opener against Highlands. Pifferini said he has seen the linebackers improving everyday. Pifferini started the game with 39 rushing yards on the opening drive before rumbling into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown run with 8:56 to play in the first quarter. Senior Nate Long recorded a sack on the Valley possession, giving the Cougars the ball back. Pifferini reached paydirt again from 1-yard out to give El Dorado a 14-0 lead. “It felt great,” Pifferini said. “Our offensive line was doing outstanding so I had lots of holes I could run through.” The Cougars quickly got the ball back and junior quarterback Anthony Mahaffey began airing the ball out, connecting with junior wide receiver Devon Hurst for a 40-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to take the lead to 21-0. Pifferini got a sack at the beginning of the second quarter and immediately after Evan Ward busted through the line of scrimmage for a 20-yard touchdown run on his first carry of the game. Both sides had deja vu as Ward again broke through for a 20-yard touchdown on his second carry of the game, extending the Cougars’ lead to 35-0. Senior Declan Robinson brought down the quarterback for a sack on n

Golden Sierra made a last second trip up to Quincy for its first and likely last varsity action of the season Friday. The Grizzlies scored 22 unanswered points to end the game after falling down 34-0. Sophomore quarterback Anthony Alvarez hit junior wide receiver Landon Hazlett for a 45-yard touchdown. Seniors Travis Robertson and Moses Hermosillo each got into the end zone with a rushing touchdown. “We never quit and it was great to see our seniors play,” said Golden Sierra head coach Gregory Horsfall.

more of the citizens back into their communities,” said Cal Fire Incident Commander Dusty Martin. “One of our No. 1 priorities is to continue to populate the communities and get people back into their homes.” Martin advised returning residents to watch their speed when driving around recently reopened communities as firefighting resources remain in impacted areas and utility workers are also at work. “We need to make sure it’s safe for not only the firefighting personnel but the citizens going back into their community,” Martin said. In Grizzly Flat 24-hour security continues, according to El Dorado County sheriff ’s Sgt. Eric Palmberg. “Just because there are barricades up on the road does not mean we’re not conducting security,” Palmberg said. Burned trees are a concern as areas are repopulated. “We literally have thousands if not tens of thousands of trees that have been burned … a lot of those are gonna need to be cut down as hazards,” according Palmberg. The fire has reportedly caused extensive damage to the Grizzly Flat Community Services District water system. Repairs are under way but residents have been warned not to use the water. For more information contact the Grizzly Flats CSD at tinyurl. com/GrizzlyCaldor. The view the evacuation map in detail go to tinyurl.com/3rhe4hne.

dropping into the American River Canyon. The head of the blaze in South Lake Tahoe is reportedly “tied up” at Trimmer Peak where the fire’s forward progress has been stopped for several days now, according to Cagle. South of Grizzly Flat firefighters are in their second day of fire suppression repair, according to Schwab, who said there will be a heavy load of equipment, including dozers, hand crews and engines in that area. Firefighters are trying to contain Caldor in the Highway 88 area near Silver and Caples lakes. “We’ve had a lot of crews in there mopping it up, squirting water directly on it and making really good progress,” Schwab said. Crews fired out unburned islands of forest in that area and have been working to “pick up pocket heat near Kirkwood.” To stop flare-ups near Kirkwood Lake helicopters are at work to buy firefighters time to do direct hand line construction. On Monday firefighters conducted firing operations behind cabins there to mitigate potential threats. Around the repopulated Sly Park area Schwab said he wants the public to alert officials if smoke is seen in the area. Jenkinson Lake is closed and the Eldorado National Forest east of there is also closed pursuant a forest closure order through Sept. 30.

El Dorado will play West Park Friday at home. Through two games so far this season, the Cougars have outscored their opponents 81-6. The Cougars have now shut out opponents twice this calendar year. Prior to their March 20 shutout of Laguna Creek, they hadn’t kept an opposing team off the scoreboard since 2014.

the ensuing possession. The Cougars got the ball back, and for the third consecutive possession, scored a touchdown on a 20-yard run, this time by junior Ramon Mcdargh-Mitchell. On the next Valley offensive play junior safety Devon Finau picked off the pass with 2:06 to play in the first half. Holding a 42-0 lead with 13 seconds left in the half, quarterback Anthony Mahaffey slung a 35-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end River Hurst who rumbled his way through attempted tackles into the end zone to make the lead 49 points. “He did really good,” Pifferini said of the signal caller. “He threw a couple long passes that were extremely accurate and I thought he scrambled well. Overall, he played outstanding.” The Cougars took out many of their starters in the second half and never allowed Valley to get on the scoreboard before the game was called with 7:45 to play in the fourth quarter. Ramon McDargh-Mitchell got an interception in the third quarter, hyping up the entire sideline. His head coach said he was one of many reserve players who excelled. “I love how my backups came in and played in the second half,” Mahaffey said. “They didn’t lose any intensity at all. I love how the starters supported them on the sidelines. Those backups have given us great looks all week and they deserve some time and support.”

Firefighters hailed as the heroes they are.

The fences and gates surrounding the El Dorado County Fairgrounds where the Caldor Fire firefighter base camp is set up in Placerville are festooned with handmade signs of gratitude for fire crews who have been battling the 216,000-plus-acre forest fire for about 24 days.

A call for El Dorado County to “stay strong.”

stop. The Bruins still had to contain Del Campo for the remaining 50 seconds. He didn’t have to wait long as Andrew Cheney intercepted his second pass of the night to seal the victory for the Bruins. “It was amazing,” Hardt said. “Everyone was jumping around and yelling. (That’s) the best feeling in football right there.” This was the season opener for the Bruins after Ponderosa missed the first two games due to COVID-19

protocols. Hardt threw two first-half touchdowns and Andrew Cheney returned an interception 45 yards to give the Bruins a 19-3 lead. Del Campo stormed back in the third quarter tying the game up 19-19. The game remained a stalemate until Hardt hit Russell for the gamewinning score. Ponderosa heads to Burbank Friday before opening up its home schedule Sept. 24 against Casa Roble.

Duffields are long-time benefactors of animal causes, and they appreciate the hard work and efforts to help both animals and people in need during this difficult time.” Many of the organizations receiving funding are 100% volunteer run and do not receive any federal or state funding. The Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care center, which has been evacuated, is one of the recipients. The organization’s volunteers began planning two weeks ago for an evacuation of team members and wildlife. Animal care manager Jenny Curtis said while all animals were transported out of their facility safely, there are still many wild animals that have been displaced, and the only clues as to where they are come through photos posted on social media. A bear photographed near the Stateline casino corridor earlier this week had to be euthanized due to the severity of her burns. “We are getting pictures of different bears in the area,” said Curtis. “We’re thinking that since the town is being protected, a lot of them are going to end up in town.” Curtis noted that while many animals are fleeing due to the Caldor Fire, they are also heavily disoriented by the smoke, and many of them could be injured. “My biggest concern is, look at how unhealthy it is for us,” said Curtis. “They’re breathing it in constantly. They can’t get out of the smoke at all. So health issues might be an issue in the future with our wildlife

that survived the fire… What’s that going to do to them?” Wildlife might now head north to areas not yet evacuated and Curtis said the Gold County Wildlife Rescue team’s Wildlife Disaster Network is the number to call. They can be reached at (800) 942-6459. South Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care is unable to be on the front lines saving animals for everyone’s safety, and volunteers said they would be forwarding any calls they get to the disaster network line. “They have a response team that can actually go out into the field and they can assess the animals and determine whether they can be rehabilitated or whether they need to be humanely put down,” said Curtis. Ways to help the wildlife of Tahoe are actually very simple. “Put water out for all of the wildlife,” said Curtis. Curtis explained that many of the animals coming into the towns surrounding the basin will be most likely disoriented and confused, and water is one thing that all animals will need and appreciate. For those who decide to put out tubs or small plastic pools, Curtis said to remember a stick or large rock to go in the water in order for smaller animals, like squirrels or chipmunks, to crawl in and out without getting stuck in the water. The second thing that people can do is call the Wildlife Disaster Network when they see animals, whether it’s a photo online or an animal in person when evacuation orders are lifted in residential areas.

think it was heightened due to the pandemic,” said Morris, noting a number of parents who have told him they have to use the internet at the library because there isn’t adequate internet access where they live. He explained that some people still think of internet connectivity as a luxury item. However, in many situations people simply need the internet to accomplish day-to-day activities. “As you explore it more you realize how valuable it can be,” Morris said. Speaking about benefits to existing businesses in Placerville, Morris expects improved and lower-cost internet access will offer more opportunities for business growth. Small businesses can fulfill orders via online portals, stream specific content, offer memberships and more to stay connected with their customer base. Those who already offer these services will be able to lower those costs. Likewise, having improved internet access throughout the city could attract more professionals and tech-related businesses. “I do think this can be an attractive area for technical and research-type businesses,” Morris said. Another benefit Morris spoke about is the ability to connect water meters to the internet, allowing city staff to monitor water usage live. “If an address’ water consumption goes up over the course of a week or so we might be able to detect a leak,” he said. Currently it might take up to a couple of months to detect a significant increase in usage, potentially losing hundreds of gallons of water in the interim, Morris explained. “There are several different examples of how this (broadband implementation) could be done,” he said. “Some better than others.” Connecting to a “middle-mile connection,” a point where a broadband fiber optic cable lands near or within a city’s limits, is the most likely scenario. “The middle-mile does come here to Placerville,” Morris said. “It’s just setting up that infrastructure going out from there. From that middlemile we will run lines going in all directions,” he said. Having direct access to the middle-mile connection enables the city to serve all interested residents without loss of bandwidth. According to ConnectPlacerville. com, a website dedicated to all things broadband for the city of Placerville,

fiber optic cable is the best option for reliability and transfer speed. It is also more durable and less susceptible to outside influence such as weather or electrical disturbance and is harder to hack than other modes of data transfer. The transfer speeds are also significantly better than copper wire, DSL or fixed wireless with fiber’s max megabits per second at 25,000,000. In comparison, 5G wireless is 2,000 Mbps, coaxial (copper) cable 950 Mbps and DSL 100 Mbps. With more than 24 million Mbps improvement to capacity, it won’t matter if everyone on a particular network is uploading, downloading or streaming at the same time. In 1936, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, Congress passed the Rural Electrification Act in order to bring electricity to farmers and other residents of rural America. Broadband and fiber optic lines are now being seen as just as important to rural communities as electricity was in the 1930s and there are several initiatives and funding sources, both federal and state, to connect even the most remote parts of America. The Rural Broadband Association, originally the National Telephone Cooperative Association when it was incorporated in 1954, said in the Save Rural Broadband campaign in 2010, that broadband connectivity in rural areas is critical to the health, safety and overall quality of life for those residents. The Senate recently passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill with $65 billion earmarked for broadband investments. If it passes through the House and becomes law, Placerville will be positioned well to make use of those funds. The funding will be competitive but the early feasibility work being done will improve chances. “That’s just on the federal level,” said Morris. “There is more funding the state has put in their budget.” Placerville’s broadband feasibility study, which could be finished as early as mid-September, is set to not exceed $25,000. The cost will be paid from Placerville’s general operating fund. However, some American Rescue Plan Act funding might cover the cost. The city seeks input from residents and business owners on the viability and need for high-speed, fiber-optic broadband connectivity.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have been known to do things to make other people happy, but try something different just for today. Selfishly delight in the satisfaction of giving satisfaction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be drawn in by attractive people. Stay alert to red flags to avoid wasting your precious time. Qualities like flakiness and insincerity have a high potential to prevent smooth proceedings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Communication is your gift and your passion. It’s a skill that always needs updating as language and culture evolve. The right words said the right way will get you in to and out of situations. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The task at hand is one you’ve had to grapple with many times before. Don’t let your experience blind you to new approaches. You already know one way to solve it. Think of 10 more and things get really interesting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You appreciate this time when everyone is getting along and working toward the same aim. Even so, you remain observant, and you know whose side you would choose if it came to it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Logic doesn’t always rule. Relax your reason. What about poetry? Your abstract ideas will be touched with brilliance. They may not be the solution, but they lead you to the next good idea. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll wonder how much

something is worth. Perhaps the more pertinent question is, what’s it worth to you? Possessions, relationships and skills have the value you give them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It doesn’t even take much courage for you to embrace change now because it’s become such a way of life for you lately. However, it will benefit you to seek council about the general direction things are headed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mounting tension builds up energy that will eventually find release. It could fly out in a burst of aggression, celebration or creativity. Decide ahead of time how to best use this fuel. Plan for its expression. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have the drive to revitalize a tired scene, rekindle a lost feeling or renovate an environment. There are helpers in your midst who will gladly join in once you get the job underway. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even though you’re among the friendliest in the zodiac, starting a conversation isn’t always easy. There are times you just don’t feel like trying. But you’ll be better for making a connection, so just reach out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Usually, strong feelings will find their own outlet, but you needn’t leave that to chance. Putting an array of tools and options on your table gives the best chance at creating something really beautiful when the mood strikes.

Jeremy Kruger during a recent ceremony officially transitioned from the U.S. Air Force to the newest branch of the armed forces, which was established in December 2019. Kruger developed his passion for space after graduating from South Tahoe High School in 1995 while he was advancing his education at Lake Tahoe Community College. His grandmother gave him a book written by Carl Sagan, “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space,” that sparked his interest in space and influenced his future studies. Kruger graduated from LTCC in 1998 with a natural science degree. He then pursued a mechanical and aeronautical engineering double major at University of California, Davis, where he graduated in 2001. Upon graduation he began an internship at Jet Propulsion Labs,

After a long 18 months, seniors from near and far are back at the Gilmore Senior Center whooping, hollering and kicking up their heels. The facility reopened Sept. 1 with a host of activities — pinochle, bridge, bingo, Zumba and line dancing, to name only a few. El Dorado Hills resident Joan Eyre was holding her own playing Wii Bowling with her cohorts Wednesday morning. “I’ve waited and waited for this day because we love coming here and playing this game and playing cards and having lunch,” said the 91-year-old. “It’s just a wonderful way to get out, see people and get away from the house for a while.” Folsom resident Jerry Boyle, who was invited to check out the center after running into an old acquaintance, was heartbroken when the El Dorado Hills Community Services District had to close the doors due to COVID-19 mandates. He is an avid participant in many activities and even leads an exercise class three mornings a week. “These people in here truly care and love you; you can feel it,” Boyle told the Mountain

We’re family, there’s no mistaking it. “This place literally saved my life,” he insisted. “I was going nuts.” Oanh Dean, a diminutive 77-year-old from Cameron Park, agreed wholeheartedly. “We have fun and laugh here,” she said, calling it a safe environment. “We’re happy to have someone in our same age group to talk to. You love your family but you need someone your same age to get along with and have fun.” Dean shared she can’t wait to get back to playing some Hand and Foot and laying down a few Mahjong tiles.

“This was my home away from home for 11 years,” shared 78-year-old Leah Emery, who just moved to Orangevale but is thrilled to be back spending her days with friends over some Kings in the Corner and line dancing. “It’s wonderful here.” Although senior activities operated temporarily out of the Teen Center for the past few months, EDHCSD Board President Noelle Mattock said she’s excited to be opening the permanent facility with new programming. “A top priority for the board has been to safely reopen our senior center,” she said.

Participants can enjoy movie afternoons, computer classes, trivia hour, painting classes and much more. “I’ve become a part of this place and this place has become a part of me,” admitted Boyle. “I just turned 82 a few weeks ago and I will probably be here until they carry me out — and I’ll look forward to every day of it.” The Gilmore Senior Center is located at 990 Lassen Lane, El Dorado Hills.

Christian Faith Publishing has released “Act Your Age!” The book is a collection of important moments experienced over a lifetime as shared by published author Kenneth Harris, a loving husband and father who retired from the pastorate after 26 years of serving the church. “‘Act Your Age!’ — a command in these or similar words was heard by most of us soon after we learned to walk and often heard repeated as we trekked our way through childhood,” said Harris. “As adulthood arrived perhaps you ... have occasionally heard again that early exhortation ringing softly in your ears, ‘Now, don’t forget to act your age.’” The author, who has family in Placerville, presents stories from his life as a suburban Oklahoma boy, timestudy engineer, financial analyst, safety engineer, police officer, father of four, grandfather of 14 and pastor that provide an intimate, candid, lively and imaginative chronology from his youth up to the present day of his retirement. Emotions run the gamut from the deep sadness

Many were the opportunities that seemed to say “Act Your Age!” In some he did. In some he didn’t. Readers will be the judge. Published by Christian Faith Publishing,

Harris’ new book is an exploration of a life lived. With moments of great joy and profound sadness, the author’s tale is one filled with love, faith and a little mischief.

Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and was commissioned June 28, 2002. Kruger’s studies and previous space experience postured him for work in space within the Air Force. His first assignment was at Los Angeles Air Force Base working to acquire new space systems. To further his education, he attended UCLA and received a master’s degree in mechanical engineering with emphasis on control systems. Throughout the remainder of his ongoing career, he spent time at various space hubs — Los Angeles AFB, Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts and Schriever AFB in Colorado with stints deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2009, teaching Air Force ROTC at Worcester Polytechnic

Institute and working the Air Force F-35 program. Throughout, his passion has always been higher than the atmosphere while serving his country. When the U.S. Space Force was formally created and the opportunity arose to transfer, it was a no-brainer for Kruger. He applied and, of the more than 16,000 applicants, he was one of approximately 9,000 selected. His transition ceremony took place July 15 amongst family and friends at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado. Kruger, having transferred, will take on a new assignment at Peterson Space Force Base and said he looks forward to helping to form and shape the nation’s newest branch of the armed forces while living out his passion for space.

While no one is immune from the devastation of a disaster, preparing before a it hits is key to keeping everyone in your family — including your pets — safe. “What’s good for us is good for our pets,” said Kris Kiser, president of The TurfMutt Foundation, an environment education and stewardship program, and president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, an international trade association representing manufacturers and suppliers of outdoor power equipment, small engines, battery power systems, portable generators, utility and personal transport vehicles and golf cars. “My dog is a member of the family, so we have a plan for keeping her safe in the event of an emergency and we encourage all pet parents to do the same.” Here are six ideas from the TurfMutt Foundation to include pets safety when mapping out a disaster preparedness plan. • Have pets microchipped. In the event of an emergency — natural or otherwise — you want to ensure your pet can get back to you if you’re separated. Collars and ID tags, though important, can break or detach. Microchips — computerized and scannable implants about the size of a grain of rice — are more fool-proof since they’re inserted under your pet’s skin. • Bring pets inside at the first sign of danger. Disasters can be disorienting for pets and they could run away or hurt themselves reacting to loud noises and strange changes to their landscape. Also, rain, flying debris and high winds pose a danger. • If you have to leave, keep pets with you. Leaving your pets behind during a natural disaster is never a good idea because they could escape or become exposed to a number of life-threatening hazards. Keep them on a leash or in a pet carrier so they don’t escape, even if you are in a “familiar” neighborhood. • Determine where you’ll go. You need a Plan B if you are advised by government officials to leave your home. Make a plan and develop a list of petfriendly hotels open for business and outside your immediate area that you might evacuate to. • Create a pet-friendly resource list. Research a list of veterinarians in the area should your pet need medical care (your regular vet may have some recommendations). Also, figure out which boarding facilities are nearby in case you need to separate from your pet for a time. • Pack an emergency bag. Pack emergency provisions for pets well in advance of a catastrophe so you can evacuate your home quickly if needed. Choose an easy-to-carry bag, label it and keep it where everyone in the family can find it quickly. The bag should include a pet first aid kit; enough food and bottled water for a week (rotate this every couple of months to keep it from going bad); medications (check periodically to ensure medicines in your emergency bag don’t expire); cleanup supplies; food and water dishes; bags (or litter for cats) for collecting waste; an extra collar and leash; photocopies of medical records; towels; recent photos of your pets; and a favorite toy or chewy for comfort. It’s also a good idea to have a sturdy carrier or crate for each pet. By keeping in mind these ideas, pet preparedness plans can be put into action ahead of a storm instead of spending valuable time trying to determine what needs to be done to best protect pets. For facts, tips and fun activities for families from the TurfMutt environment education and stewardship program visit TurfMutt.com.

Infuse Bright, Nutritional Flavor into Summer

FAMILY FEATURES

hen families fire up their grills and turn to favorite summer recipes for filling meals, nutritional considerations are often not the focus. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. This year, you can rethink traditional seasonal menus by opting for main courses – and even desserts – that offer healthier returns by incorporating ingredients like whole oranges, which provide a multitude of nutritional benefits. Adding an ingredient like California Valencia oranges to your family’s dishes means you’re including a rich source of vitamin C (70% of the daily value) and an excellent source of folate (20% of the daily value) in your seasonal spread. As a balance of sweet and tart, the extra juicy oranges reach their peak in summer, making them perfect for warm-weather recipes, juicing or as portable snacks to take along on adventures. Plus, their anti-inflammatory benefits help support the body, especially as outdoor activities increase in the warm weather. The potassium found in oranges also helps support cell function, healthy blood pressure levels, bone health and hydration. When it comes to meal planning, oranges are a highly versatile fruit that can be added to both sweet and savory dishes, as well as beverages, cocktails, sauces, frozen desserts, smoothies and more. To introduce a depth of flavor and burst of nutrition to dishes, add a sprinkle of zest, segments or fresh-squeezed juice, or even grill the fruit to bring out the flavor. Try combining them with tastes of the Mediterranean for dinner with Orange and Harissa Glazed Beef Kebabs or end your meal with a refreshing sweet treat like Orange Ice Cream the entire family can enjoy. By introducing the sweetness of oranges to your warm-weather menu, you can infuse fresh flavor while rethinking family favorites. Visit CaliforniaCitrusGrowers.com for more information on California oranges.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4871 UNION MINE ROAD, EL DORADO, CA 95623 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 084835-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 084835-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.

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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07001404-19-1 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.

ROAD PLACERVILLE, California 95667 A.P.N.: 085-162-003-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-663. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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) 683-2468, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-663 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.

PP20210179 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ROBERT ALAN STURGESS A PETITION for Probate has been filed by SHANNON DOWNS, CLPF in the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado. THE PETITION for probate requests that SHANNON DOWNS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 13, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
