Caldor still challenging firefighters Thomas Frey Staff writer

Mountain Democrat photos by Eric Jaramishian

Amie Whedbee and her daughter Abby, 15, return to their fire-ravaged home in Sierra Springs Tuesday. After being evacuated due to the threat of the Caldor Fire the Whedbee family went home only to days later lose nearly all of their belongings in a house fire, which is under investigation.

The Caldor Fire continues to challenge firefighters in the area of Caples and Strawberry creeks northwest of Caples Lake. “We’re calling it the alligator’s mouth,” said California Interagency Incident Management Team 12 Operations Section Chief Michael Page, who reported the latest from the fire lines Wednesday night. Crews have been expecting a firefight there, according to Team 12 Incident Commander Michael Nobles. “Although the fire activity and Caples Creek has brought a lot of attention, this is something we anticipated,” Nobles said. “We were organized for it and we were ready to respond to it, which we did quickly and swiftly.” Nobles said a fire behavior analyst has been predicting Caldor’s spread through windows of 24, 48 and 72 hours. “We really generate our plans based on that outlook,” Nobles said.

Caldor Fire base camp moves out of fairgrounds Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer The El Dorado County Fairgrounds is nearly open to the public again as the Caldor Fire base camp has been relocated from Placerville to Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe. Fairgrounds staff is returning to a sense of normalcy with a small contingent of Cal Fire personnel still working on site along with folks from the U.S. Forest Service and California Conservation Corps. Their presence is expected well into October but fairgrounds activities will return, starting with a monster truck show this weekend. The El Dorado County Fair, which was slated for this weekend, Sept. 23-26, was canceled Sept. 7 as it was not known how long firefighters would need to operate out of the fairgrounds. n

No sign of man who went missing in Grizzly Flat Mountain Democrat staff El Dorado County sheriff ’s detectives say they have not been able to locate Martin Hardy Creel, a 57-year-old man who was reported missing last month following the evacuation of Grizzly Flat. The sheriff ’s Search and Rescue unit conducted a search using canines Sept. 11 but Creel was not located, according to Sgt. Eric Palmberg. Creel was among Grizzly Flat residents ordered to evacuate but his family hasn’t heard from him

since Aug. 18. Family members reported they last received a call from Creel — a 5-foot, 6-inch, 200-pound white male with blond hair, blue eyes and possibly wearing eyeglasses — Wednesday, Aug. 18, around 11:30 a.m. The family member was not able to speak to Creel due to poor reception. Family and friends said they tried calling Creel back repeatedly but those calls were not answered. Authorities say Creel’s white Dodge pick up was later found abandoned in the Grizzly Flat area near Sciaroni and Grizzly Flat

roads. Grizzly Flat was evacuated overnight Aug. 16 as the Caldor Fire made its way through town, taking down entire neighborhoods, an elementary school, church and post office. Between Aug. 16 and Aug. 18 the blaze ripped through more than 60,000 acres, including the Grizzly Flat area and north and east of there, the most activity seen on the Caldor Fire. Anyone with any information that could help authorities locate Creel is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (530) 642-4714 or email Sargentj@edso.org.

Shane Peterson

July 27, 1949 - Aug. 28, 2021

My beloved husband, Shane Peterson, passed away on Aug. 28 as a result of a tragic house fire that also took the life of our wonderful dog, Charly. Shane was born to Willard “Pete” Peterson and Vera Peterson July 27, 1949 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. At the age of 7, Shane moved with his family to California, eventually settling in Cameron Park where Shane attended elementary school, graduating from Ponderosa High School in 1967. Shane had a love of horses, raising and competing in horse shows for a number of years along with his younger sisters. Shane was also active on Ponderosa’s swim and ski teams. Shane felt closest to God when he was on the ski mountain. Shane attended American River College and completed his bachelor’s degree at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1972. In 1980 I was introduced to Shane by his older sister, Jan, while working together at “The Depot” restaurant in Shingle Springs. We spent the next six years together until I finally said, “Do you want to get married or not, otherwise I’m moving on.” We married in August of 1986 and just recently celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. We were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Jessica, and Bryn and three precious grandchildren; Aven, Cruz and Lola all of which were the loves of his life. While attending college, Shane worked in construction and eventually became a general contractor and spent the next 50 years doing what he did best, building, supervising and teaching the trade to others. Shane had an incredible work ethic and was the utmost professional, extremely meticulous of his work. He met lifelong friends along the way and treasured those friendships. He was particularly fond of his young friend Daniel, whom he thought of as a son. He and Daniel shared a loving bond and friendship for over 25 years. Bryn accompanied her dad to work every day as his construction assistant. Shane adored his daughters and grandchildren. He loved teaching his girls how to snow and water ski and spent years coaching their softball teams. Most recently he was the proud grandpa at Cruz’s baseball games, cheering him on and practicing with him whenever he could. Shane loved watching Aven and Lola dance to Youtube videos and would crack up at their dance moves! Earlier this summer, Shane found out that he was the father to a lovely young woman named Wendy, who he never knew about as the mother gave Wendy up for adoption following her birth. Shane and our family were able to spend time with Wendy, her husband Jake and son Jonathan only to lose Shane just a couple of months later. Shane never got to meet his grandson, Jacob. Wendy and her family will forever be a part of ours. Shane is survived by his wife and best friend of 41 years, Julie; daughters, Jessica, Bryn (sonin-law Isham), and Wendy (son-in-law Jake), grandchildren; Aven (11), Cruz (8), and Lola (7), Jacob (27) and Jonathan (22); sisters Jan O’ Flynn, Tracy Travis (Tom) and Kole Manno (David); mother-in-law Beverly Hennessy; step-mother Cindy Peterson and many wonderful nieces and nephews. Shane was preceded in death by his parents, Pete and Vera Peterson and father-in-law Jay Hennessy. A celebration of life will be held for Shane Oct. 15 at 11 a.m. at District Church in El Dorado Hills.

Jean “Gena” Shaver Jan. 7, 1920 - Sept. 14, 2021

Jean “Gena” Shaver was born Jan. 7, 1920 in Reno, Nev. She passed peacefully in Oakdale, Calif., Sept. 14. Jean is survived by her children; Patty and husband Lee, Sandy and husband Steve, Chris and her husband Vern, Michael and his wife Cherie and son Ron Laycock; grandchildren Danielle, Nicole, Mike, Ryan, Erin, Marissa, Courtney and 11 great-grandchildren. Jean married Jack Shaver on July 15, 1945 and they were married for 49 years with Jack passing away in 1994. Jean attended high school in Aden, Calif., and college at California State University, Chico. Jean made her life’s work as an educator in various Northern California locations with most of her time teaching second grade at Project City while living in Redding, Calif., and Pollock Pines Elementary school while living in Camino, Calif., until her retirement in 1988. Jean spent a great deal of time in retirement in church service at St Patrick Catholic Church in Placerville, Calif. She took her talents for bulletin boards in the classroom and decorated the church hall for fundraisers, rummage sales and many other church functions. Jean moved to Oakdale, Calif., for the last four years of her life to be near her three daughters. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution, in Jean’s name, to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital or the Oakdale Community Hospice organization. Arrangements have been entrusted to Chapel of the Pines.

Edna Realmonte 1924 - 2021

Edna passed away peacefully in her home Sept. 8 under the loving care of her caregivers and Snowline Hospice support. She was just shy of her 97th Birthday. Edna was born in Mountain View, Calif., to Italian immigrants Tony and Emilia Cabano. She was the youngest of four children; Yolanda Rossi, Inez Bolocco and Dino Cabano who all preceded her in death. Her husband Kelly (Ike) Realmonte preceded her in death in 1989 just after they moved to their newly built home in Greenstone from San Jose. She decided to stay in Placerville and rebuild her life. She became a member of the Widows Club and was active with the senior center. She met some wonderful people and loved taking trips to the casino, horse races, playing cards, attending luncheons and fashion shows. The community of Greenstone welcomed her and she made lasting friendships with her neighbors who offered so much support to her. Edna’s passion was ballroom dancing from her younger years during the big band era at the Santa Cruz Coconut Grove until well into her 80s, attending dances in Sacramento. She loved fashion and had her own style and was always “dressed up” even when on the hunt for fun finds at the various estate sales in the area. Edna loved to laugh and was always telling you a favorite joke before she hung up a phone conversation or while having friends in for dinner or playing cards. Edna is survived by her nieces Chris Rossi Pino and Sheila Rossi Prado; two great-nieces Tiffani Jacobs and Monica Pino and two great-greatnephews Charlie Jacobs and Ben Jacobs. Services will be held Saturday, Sept. 25 at Chapel of the Pines at noon. A private burial will be at Santa Clara Mission Cemetery on Monday, Sept. 27. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations to Snowline Hospice.

Thomas Frey Staff writer Evan Patrick Ishima and Gabriel Cedrik Saechao were posthumously honored with Carnegie Medals Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Pa., by the Carnegie Hero Fund for their acts of extraordinary heroism GABRIEL CEDRICK while trying to save a man from drowning SAECHAO in the Cosumnes River last year. On May 28, 2020, around 4 p.m., Tim Nguyen, 20, was hiking with his friends in Somerset when he entered the North Fork of the Cosumnes River near a waterfall and submerged among the boulders. Twenty-four year-old Evan Patrick Ishima of Florin, Calif., was hiking with EVAN PATRICK ISHIMA another party when he saw Nguyen go underwater, states a news release from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Ishima kneeled at a boulder and lowered himself into it while bracing his arms on two boulders. A friend of his held onto him and others at the scene formed a human chain. At that time Ishima was pulled down by the force of the river and submerged. Saechao, a 20-year-old college student from Sacramento who was hiking with Nguyen, then ran to the scene and entered the river. He did not resurface. “Evan died a hero and then some with no hesitation or second thoughts to jump in and rescue these two strangers and even in his final moments underwater he still attempted to save them,” said Evan’s sister Anjelica Ishima in a Facebook post last year.

Work crews fall burned tress in the Echo Summit area Tuesday.

Study shows where Caldor Fire burned the hottest Bill Rozak Tahoe Daily Tribune SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The Caldor Fire burned hottest in decimated communities and the landscape has dramatically changed on the main highway leading to South Lake Tahoe. Blackened earth, scorched trees and burned homes are prominent alongside Highway 50 from Echo Summit to Kyburz. The U.S. Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response Team recently completed data gathering and analysis of the Caldor burned area to produce a soil burn severity map of the 221,000-acre-plus blaze. The map and data display soil burn severity categories that include unburned/very low, low, moderate and high. Approximately half of the acreage of the fire (47%) is either unburned/very low or low soil burn severity, while 40% sustained moderate burn severity and about 13% high burn severity. While the fire didn’t burn the hottest on Echo Summit according to the map, many of the cabins overlooking the basin are no longer there with the fire reducing them to rubble.

Many work crews on Tuesday had chainsaws fired up in the forest right beside Highway 50 and in the Echo Summit area falling burned trees. The highway was fully reopened at 8 a.m. for the first time since Aug. 20 and vehicles shortly after started streaming into the basin. The soil burn severity map shows the fire burning hottest in the decimated Grizzly Flat community where hundreds of homes were lost and along Highway 50 where houses were destroyed on both sides of the roadway in Phillips near Sierra-atTahoe. BAER teams are multi-disciplinary teams sent to federal lands following significant wildfires to characterize the fire effects to watersheds, identify imminent post-fire threats to human life and safety, property, infrastructure and critical natural and cultural resources. The team assesses the effects to soils, not vegetation. Soil burn severity characterizes the effects at the soil surface and belowground whereas vegetation effects are determined based on mortality and vegetation canopy changes. Once the assessment is done the team develops emergency treatment n

Latest costly drone mistake bolsters doubts about Biden’s Afghanistan strategy

rom the first weeks of the Afghanistan war to its final days, U.S. officials repeatedly championed the use of aerial surveillance technology to distinguish friend from foe, fighter from civilian, and eliminate America’s enemies with pinpoint accuracy. The technology was heralded as a way to minimize civilian casualties and reduce the risks and costs of ground deployments. In practice, though, the U.S. military got it wrong — a lot — leading to high-profile civilian deaths and handing the Taliban a potent recruitment tool. After weeks of hesitation, the Pentagon recently admitted that it got it wrong again in the final days of the frantic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, when an Aug. 29 drone strike took out 10 civilians who had nothing whatsoever to do with terrorists. What makes the admission so embarrassing for the administration is that President Joe Biden has staked the future of America’s security strategy in Afghanistan on what he calls “over the horizon” surveillance technology to take the place of troops and human intelligence. American commanders at the time spoke with certainty about what the Joint Chiefs chairman, Gen. Mark Milley, asserted was a “righteous” strike. At the time, relatives of the 10 civilians killed insisted that their family members had been wrongfully targeted. But U.S. officials refused to budge from their version that they had annihilated an Islamic State terrorist threat. The Pentagon only admitted its mistake after various U.S. news outlets, led by The New York Times, interviewed survivors and investigated the victims’ backgrounds. News reports made clear the attack was a mistake. But the Pentagon and Biden administration, anxious to avoid even more embarrassments after a chaotic withdrawal, remained reluctant to admit any error. U.S. commanders have long tried to justify technology shortcuts as the modern way to conduct war. One early airstrike, in December 2001, took out a convoy of Afghan tribal leaders traveling to a meeting to fill a governance void left after Taliban leaders had fled. U.S. Central Command spokesman Maj. Brad Lowell at the time spoke confidently about “aerial imaging and ground intelligence” that established that the 10 to 12 cars in the convoy constituted “a legitimate military target.” The victims turned out to be civilians. A jealous rival had provided the United States with bogus intelligence in order to eliminate them so he could take control. On a few occasions, the military has admitted fault, such as in 2010, when then-Vice Adm. William McRaven traveled to a remote village to apologize for bad intelligence that sparked a U.S. attack that killed two pregnant women and three other civilian noncombatants. The Aug. 29 mistake exposes a yawning intelligence gap threatening to undermine Biden’s plan to prevent Afghanistan from serving as the launching ground for another 9/11-style attack on America.

Letters to the Editor Thanks from an evacuee EDITOR: want to thank all the first responders for saving Pollock Pines. While we were evacuated to Green Valley Church we were treated with loving care. I want to thank all who provided for our needs, including many local businesses and Pat and Tom from KNCi 105.1 who provided us with a concert by Nate Smith, who lost his home in the Paradise Fire. Thank you, to all of you. It made our two-and-ahalf weeks a real blessing. A very special thanks to Green Valley Church to hosting us. Everything fell together like clockwork. Thank God for our new trailer that we have had for five months. I feel bad for those who have lost their homes from this fire. All this destruction might have been avoided if the U.S. Forest Service had followed proper forest management. This goes back to the 1960s when the environmentalists out of the U.C. system mandated that the forests should be left to go wild. That is over 60 years of mismanagement. Now we are paying for it. My suggestion is to remove all the weak trees, lower vegetation and provide quartermile-wide clearcuts on mountain ridges to prevent large wildfires. El Dorado County is a very giving place to live — so much care for all who lost everything and those who were evacuated. Thank you, El Dorado County sheriff ’s Lt. Jeff Leikauf, for his dedication in keeping us informed of the fire action and police support. RAYMOND GLISSMAN Pollock Pines

Talk about the vaccine EDITOR: ow were debilitating diseases like polio and smallpox eradicated? It was with a successful mass vaccination program. Vaccines have saved millions from deadly diseases in the past and continue to save lives today. The success of these vaccinations did not solely depend on science and research; it also depended on the trust and belief that people had in these vaccines. The community’s strong determination to get vaccinated drove the effort to stop the disease from causing any further havoc to mankind. Today, if we want to eradicate COVID-19, we need that same trust and determination in the vaccine from every single community in the world. COVID is on a deadly surge again and our best weapon to stop it is mass vaccination.

I recently had a visit with a 65-year-old patient with asthma and other chronic medical conditions. She was on the fence about getting the vaccine as she was worried that it would cause the virus to multiply in her body and worsen her medical conditions. I took time to explain how the various vaccines worked, how they help fight COVID infection and how it was extremely important for her to get the vaccine given her age and health conditions. At the end of the discussion she was extremely thankful for the much-needed explanation and looked me in the eye confidently and told me, “I am going to get the vaccine.” As a doctor who strongly advocates for preventive health, it was the most satisfying moment of an otherwise chaotic day. What surprised me was when she said that she did not get this type of explanation anywhere else. It reinforced to me that even though a lot of information about the vaccines is available online from reliable resources, a lot of people are able to make an informed decision about either getting or not getting the vaccine only after they have a healthy, face-to-face discussion with their doctors. If you are not yet vaccinated, please talk to a physician or medical provider you trust. Please do this as soon as possible as COVID cases are on the rise. Many are worried about short- or long-term side effects of the vaccine or have other concerns.

The monster we see vs. the monster we cannot see EDITOR: uring the ongoing danger of the monster Caldor Fire, it has been awesome to experience our community spirit coming together to take care of each other. This is who we really are, I hope. And it is looking successful, too, that spirit of all working together to fight this monster. However, with the COVID monster we cannot see, we cannot seem to come together in a unified community spirit to take care of each other. We do not see the virus in the air, but we can see the monster footprint in illness and death, overwhelmed hospitals and staff and lost economic

It was easy and convenient to fill that void with victimhood. ... So much of my time focused intently on our racial differences and grievances, much like today. “As I matured,” Thomas continued, “I began to see that the theories of my young adulthood were destructive and self-defeating. ... I had rejected my country, my birthright as a citizen, and I had nothing to show for it. “The wholesomeness of my childhood had been replaced with an emptiness, cynicism and despair. I was faced with the simple fact that there was no greater truth than what my Nuns and grandparents had taught me. We are all children of

God and rightful heirs to our nation’s legacy of equality. We had to live up to the obligations of the equal citizenship to which we were entitled by birth.” As he continued work in the federal government, Thomas became “deeply interested in the Declaration of Independence.” “The Declaration captured what I had been taught to venerate as a child but had cynically rejected as a young man. All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. “As I had rediscovered the Godgiven principles of the Declaration and our founding, I eventually returned to the church, which had been teaching the same truths for

El Dorado County saw eight COVID-19 deaths reported between Sept. 14 and 15. That takes the local coronavirus death count to 130, according to El Dorado County Public Health data. All eight deaths were in the 65-plus age group. The deaths reported Sept. 14 were two Placerville women and one man and one woman from Cameron Park/Shingle Springs/Rescue. The following day report came of deaths in two men from Cameron Park/Single Springs/Rescue, one man from El Dorado Hills and a woman from Placerville. There were 34 new COVID-19 cases reported Wednesday by public health officials. Seven of those were found in the Pollock Pines/Camino/Kyburz region, five in El Dorado Hills, two in Diamond Springs/El Dorado, two in North County, eight in greater Placerville, two in Cameron Park/Shingle Springs/Rescue and one in the Lake Tahoe region. At least one dose of the vaccine has been given to 58.4% of county residents while 52.7% are fully vaccinated.

north of Lake Margaret. Vegetation will be cleared along the fire side of the trail in preparation for a firing operation. Removing vegetation will allow crews to introduce low-intensity ground fire that will remove available vegetation ahead of the main fire. Along the Highway 50 corridor firefighters continue patrolling and mopping up. Units have reportedly been responding to numerous service calls for hotspots or flare-ups. “Those (calls from the public) are very helpful for us … so please continue to do that,” Page said. Firefighters say they are still seeing smoke in the Echo Lake area and near Trimmer Peak in South Lake Tahoe significant heat remains. Crews continue to work on the ground on the south side of Desolation Wilderness where it’s “very, very rocky,” according to Page. In Desolation Wilderness Caldor is resisting firefighters’ efforts, according to U.S. Forest Service Assistant Director of Operations, Northern California, Gwen Sanchez. “The last couple of days have shown that potential is real and we’re doing everything we can to eliminate that potential,” Sanchez said. Sanchez said she has been asked repeatedly if there are checkpoints that residents need to go through to reach their cabins at Echo Lake. There aren’t checkpoints but she said cabin owners must have a permit exemption in their possession. “If you have any questions about the exemption process, please contact your local national forest office whether that be the Eldorado National Forest or Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and we can help you with that process,” Sanchez said. Sanchez also warned against visiting the Tahoe area in October if there is any fire danger. “If you’re planning to visit one of those areas that are under a warning or order please don’t do that,” Sanchez said. “We’re asking for your safety as well as the safety of our firefighters to just avoid that area until it’s deemed safe for you to be in that area.” As of Thursday morning the Caldor Fire had burned 221,161 acres and was 76% contained.

Property tax relief offered for seniors and disabled News release Applications to postpone payment of 2020-21 property taxes will be available Oct. 1, according to K. E. Coleman, El Dorado County treasurer-tax collector. The Property Tax Postponement Program, administered by the state Controller’s Office, allows eligible homeowners to postpone payment of property taxes on their primary residence. To be eligible homeowners must be at least 62, blind or have a disability; own and occupy the home; had a total household income in 2020 of $45,810 or less; have at least 40% equity in the home; and meet other requirements. Repayment under the postponement program becomes due when the homeowner moves, sells, transfers title, defaults, refinances, dies or

obtains a reverse mortgage. Funding for the program is limited. Applications are accepted Oct. 1 to Feb. 10, 2022, and are processed in the order received. Coleman advised, “This is a popular program. If you are interested and feel that you may qualify, do not delay. Contact the state controller’s team by phone at (800) 952-5661 or by e-mail to postponement@sco. ca.gov. A recent addition to the program that was an added benefit for many seniors in our county, is that manufactured homes now qualify.” Requirements are subject to change without notice if the law is revised. Additional information and eligibility requirements can be found on the controller’s website at sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_ postponement.html.

recommendations to mitigate identified risks. BAER teams then implement recommended treatments and action stabilization measures. These teams begin their assessment immediately after the fire threat passes. The team focuses on the direct damage caused by the fire, rather than from fire suppression activities. Post-fire conditions such as loss of vegetation and the changes in the soils will increase the likelihood of floods and may cause potential debris and sediment flow impacts. For complex fires such as the Caldor, assessments are done as an interagency effort, which includes a California State Watershed Emergency Response Team. The Cal Fire WERT team is evaluating burned private and state lands from the fire. Both teams share information as they complete their evaluations, analysis and subsequent reports. Changes in soil cover, water repellency and soil physical/biological changes determine the severity level of soil burn severity. Changes in water repellency is a much-discussed fire effect. Fire can increase the severity and the thickness of the water repellent soil which has significant effects on postfire water runoff. Low soil burn severity indicates there was only partial consumption of fire fuels while litter coverage remains relatively intact on the soil surface. Burning time at the soil surface was short, leaving root systems and root structure undamaged. Vegetative recovery time in the low category will vary based on ecological community but is expected to recover in the short term. Moderate soil burn severity indicates nearly all soil cover of vegetative litter and fine fuels was consumed or converted to ash. Because soil cover is significantly reduced, accelerated water runoff

is expected. Charring of the mineral soil occurs in moderate soil burn severity as well as shallow root burning. The extent of the burning of the leaves and needles on the trees (aka tree canopy) can be unpredictable and can range from high to relatively low mortality. High soil burn severity is the result of higher intensity fire behavior or longer burning time at the soil surface. As a result of the high heat, nearly all the soil cover of vegetative litter and fuels has been consumed, leaving bare soil prone to the impacts of precipitation and resulting water runoff. The surface mineral soil has been reduced to powder (single grain) often several inches thick. This single grain soil is very easily transported or moved during rain events resulting in excessive soil erosion and sediment loading in rivers, streams and creeks. The roots in the high soil burn severity areas tend to be completely consumed by the resulting heat of the fire above the soil surface. Water repellency does not exist at the surface because water repellent compounds have been vaporized and tends to be found below the powdered soil surface, but the repellency thickness and more severe burning tend to be much greater than a moderate soil burn severity soil. Generally, there is 100% tree mortality in high soil burn severity soils. “Everyone near and downstream from the burned areas should remain alert and stay updated on weather conditions that may result in heavy rains over the burn scars,” said a press release. “Flash flooding may occur quickly during heavy rain events, be prepared to take action.” For weather and emergency notifications visit the National Weather Service website at weather.gov/ sto/.

The members of the Placerville Shakespeare Club wish to express our deep appreciation and gratitude to the courageous Cal Fire crews, US Forestry Service teams and all first responders who worked (and are still working) so diligently on the Caldor fire. Through your tireless dedication, you gave us homes to go back to. We said a huge ‘thank you’ every time we saw you flying over our properties in your unending efforts to protect all of us. As an organization, we are so proud to be part of a community that is so caring and responsive. You are our heroes, and we wanted you to know how much you are all valued and appreciated. Sincerely, The Placerville Shakespeare Club

the kids’ toys. “I’m overwhelmed and I’m grateful my daughter and grandkids made it out alive,” Theresa said. “And for a mother to stand back and feel all that emotion is really huge.” One member of the family is missing. Trouble, the German shepherd and pitsky mix, has not been seen since the house fire. Amie said firefighters confirmed a dog’s remains were not seen in the fire. Neighbors said they think the dog escaped. The dog has one blue eye and one black and white eye and is about eight months old. Amie asked anyone who may have seen Trouble to email her at thewhedbeefamily@ gmail.com “He’s part of our family and he’s missing,” Amie said. “He’s our top priority right now.” The children’s school provided computers so they can continue their studies in the Roseville hotel since the house fire burned most of

their electronics. Emotionally, it has been a taxing time for the family. “My kids are waking up with nightmares all night and having trouble sleeping,” Amie said. Amie and her family were among the thousands who had to evacuate their home for about 19 days due to the threat of the Caldor Fire. While evacuated Amie said she and her children caught COVID-19 and

were turned away from evacuation sites due to lack of space for people requiring quarantine. “We finally got home from being evacuated and then this happened,” Amie said. Amie has support from the community, including a GoFundMe set up for $3,000 as well as people donating clothes and gift cards. “I’m trying to feed, water, shelter, clothe and transport me and my four kids and it’s a struggle,” Amie

said. “I’m not going to lie; we are absolutely struggling. I haven’t been able to go back to the job I just started because I’m all the way down here with my kids. There’s no way I can go back to work yet.” The Whedbees lost their belongings but they still have each other, Amie said. “We’re alive by the grace of God,” Amie said. “I don’t know how we made it out of that fire but we did.”

The Caldor Fire base camp at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, pictured Aug. 26, has moved up to South Lake Tahoe.

Events planned in the near future in the Forni Building can continue as well as the Hangtown Music Festival in midOctober, according to Jody Gray, El Dorado County Fair CEO. “We were glad we were able to host the firefighters and their support to battle the devastating Caldor Fire,” she said. “Offering them a location to set up their little city in a clean environment with buildings, air conditioning, restrooms, etc., was great for them.” California Incident Management Team 12 and U.S. Forest Service firefighters are now in command of operations in the Caldor Fire firefight, which as of Tuesday was the most active on the eastern perimeter near Tahoe. For a number of weeks, as the fire was a threat on all sides, incident management teams handled the east and west sides of Caldor under a unified command with Cal Fire a big part of that picture.

However, Cal Fire personnel is in place to attend to state responsibility areas such as Christmas Valley and Grizzly Flat. “Any place where there is private property that needs protection and/or fire suppression repair, that’s what we’re handling specifically,” said Diana Swart, spokesperson for the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Unit. Most firefighters who made a home at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds have

moved up to Heavenly. While more than 5,000 firefighters were battling Caldor at the height of its destruction, some 1,500 personnel were still assigned to the fire Wednesday. “This is still a full suppression fire and we’re still trying to work toward 100% containment,” said Seneca Smith with Incident Management Team 12. “Even if we do get full containment we’ll continue mopping up and controlling the fire perimeter for probably several weeks to come.”

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today

El Dorado Hills Brewfest is produced in partnership with

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Having been lost at different points in your life, you consider it a blessing to know your purpose and fulfill it. Daily structures provide healthinspiring rhythms, even if the actions themselves aren’t astoundingly healthful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Needs are not weakness, and limits are not always negotiable. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. Sometimes, the tougher move is to take care of yourself instead of muscling through. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In all matters of construction, including relationships, companies and physical structures, stability is the first tenant of the build. Do not lay a foundation on anything but the most solid ground. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The only makeover worth taking on is your own, as you’ll get to steer the process, learn the lessons and enjoy the results. As for the others, inspiring them will be much more effective than trying to change them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s a time to stop comparing yourself and focus on what you have at hand. In addition to a unique collection of talents and resources, you are truly gifted with a sharp mind and the ability to quickly learn what you need to do to succeed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The rules will go out the window, and everyone will act according to their understanding and feelings in the moment, allowing a prime opportunity for you to cleverly arrange things to benefit

you and yours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When a baby cries in public, it activates all mothers within earshot to care. This is how you respond to the cry of a soul. Your heart reaches out to all cries within your radius of feeling. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Energy flows through everything. Though perhaps there is not “good” and “bad” energy, there is certainly energy more or less conducive to your thriving. Invite that kind, and make an unobstructed path for it to enter your world. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Activities are only as productive as they are healthy because the cost of anything that wears away at your health outweighs the benefits. What gets done is far less important than the spirit in which it is done. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to be the reason someone smiles today. It’s easy for you because you’ve gotten in the habit of watching what people enjoy and looking for the opportunities to put it in their path. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If only conflict were like a pest you could trap and carry far away from you and set free in some distant field. Well, maybe it is. Give it time and distance and see what happens. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Faith keeps you going when you lack evidence that your efforts will pay off. But don’t rely on faith alone. Keep acquiring more experience until you see tangible results.

ERVILLESPE WWW.PLAC

GRASS VALLEY — Lisa Swerdlow, an accomplished pianist and composer of classical crossover and contemporary instrumental music, announces the debut of her “Coming to America Concerto,” a dynamic and cinematic exploration of a journey of Russian immigrants, told in three movements. It released globally last week on all digital platforms and is also available in physical CD format from Bandcamp. Swerdlow will perform the concerto live at The Center for the Arts on Nov. 13, as part of the Ten Hands – 88 Keys concert in Grass Valley. Swerdlow considers herself a storyteller and this is the story of her grandparents, who in the early 1900s escaped the pogroms of Russia and found refuge in a new land. The “Coming to America Concerto” blends musical voices with sweeping layered pianodriven instrumentation including clarinet, cello, flute, oboe and violin. The musical journey moves from pensive and reflective to more uplifting melodies as the story evolves from difficult circumstances in the homeland to rousing aural images of hope in New York Harbor. “Last year I started researching my grandparents’ immigration to the United States from Russia (and what is now Ukraine) in the years 1907-1910 due to persecution of the Jewish people,” said Swerdlow. “I reflected on the courage it must have taken for them to leave their homeland of many centuries, their family and friends, to

Northern California musician Lisa Swerdlow has released a concerto inspired by her family’s immigration journey. sail to a foreign country they had barely heard of called ‘America.’ The music came to me and I started writing.” The first movement — the Russian klezmerthemed “Home of My Ancestors” — tells the tale of life in the Jewish ghettos and villages of late 19th and early 20th century Russia in a global music style. Listeners will hear a hint of the cadences and ornamentation of Ashkenazi heritage. Life had its joys and celebrations as well as its fears, especially of the Czar’s army showing up to desecrate what the villagers most loved and valued: their traditions, their homes, their temples. The concerto progresses to the second movement — “The Crossing” — evoking the transition and anticipation of what lies ahead. The ocean’s horizon is infinite, the future is unknown and the past is already far behind them. “I imagined my grandparents carrying what possessions they

could, living in cramped steerage quarters far below deck on a huge ocean liner such as the Mauretania,” Swerdlow reflected. Wonder and optimism are stirred from the darkness. The music captures the journey: feeling seasick, longing for their homeland and all the great challenges of crossing an endless ocean bound for America. In the final movement — “Arrival” — reality dawns. A new life awaits them in a country where they don’t speak the language, don’t understand its culture and don’t have any friends or relatives waiting for them. And yet, as their ship passes the Statue of Liberty, they understand her welcoming message and feel grateful for their new homeland. “Arrival” weaves calm melodies of sorrow and builds into an exhilarating message of hope. “I believe music can be a vehicle to healing our hearts as well as n

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 Axis Foreclosure Services at (916) 939-1494 or visit this internet website www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case «Our_File_No». Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call Axis Foreclosure Services at (916) 9391494 or visit this internet website website www.stoxposting.com using the file number assigned to this case «Our_File_No» 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.
