The State of Jefferson joins the California Sheriff's Association and National Sheriff's Association, in their call for Congress to “take action and pass sensible legislation that doesn't hamstring law enforcement.”

The citizens of the twenty-one counties that encompass the State of Jefferson have long supported their county sheriff's who have declared they will comply with federal immigration law, should the Governor sign SB 54. The Jefferson leadership has been outspoken about Brown and his administration, putting the needs of illegal aliens (criminals), before that of the health and safety of American Citizens.

They stated that SB 54 not only bars sheriff's and police from asking people about their immigration status or participation in most federal immigration enforcement activities, but also would largely prohibit school and security officers, from using money or staff to investigate, question, hold or arrest people for immigration violations.

State of Jefferson also supports efforts by Congressman McClintock and others who are looking at ways where cities and counties, who are within a Sanctuary State, would be able to file and be awarded federal grant monies. The Counties of Tehama, Siskiyou and cities of Anderson & Lincoln, have already adopted Resolutions, declaring they will comply with Federal Immigration Laws. 

Efforts continue by residents in many of the Northern rural counties, requesting that their County Supervisors, also take a stand, adopting similar Resolutions, and also officially support their County Sheriff's who have taken a vow to uphold the laws of our United States Constitution.

Those of Jefferson are not alone in their opposition of Sanctuary counties and cities. In a recent poll by the University of California, Berkeley, 74% of Californian's opposed Sanctuary Jurisdiction. “This is just another example of the lack of representation that exists in the California State Legislature,” said a Jefferson spokesperson. Adding, “It is time that Brown & his cohorts start respecting our law enforcement officers, who everyday risk their lives, diligently doing their jobs to protect their communities.”

David Yapp-landscape artist   Artist Statement I grew up in rural southern England. My youth was spent exploring and observing nature and the changing scenery, seasons and weather patterns of my home county of Wiltshire. The landscapes and towns of the county are rich in history and have fed the artistic hearts and minds of artists such as Sir John Constable and J. M. W. Turner and writers such as Thomas Hardy and George Herbert.   Since moving to California in 2001, I predominantly paint plein air, directly on location, working in oils. I work using a combination of palette knives and brushes.    The paint is applied with a combination of thin passages of color and thick impasto.  Often this is further worked into with a sgraffito technique-scratching back the paint to reveal the tinted ground of the canvas beneath. This may then have further paint applied to create a multi-layered relief to the painting. The application of the paint in this way enables me to create a sense of depth and movement within the painting and so capture what is to me the essence of a particular landscape and my emotional response to it. The work of Canadian artist, Tom Thomson, the American Western landscape painters such as William Wendt and Edgar Payne, and that of Post-Impressionist, Vincent Van Gogh are strong influences for me.     You can see David's work from November 4-5 in Camino, CA

MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY NOW OFFERS DEGREE IN ‘MARIJUANA STUDIES’

[KEELY SHARP]

Whether you like marijuana or not, there’s no denying that it is quickly becoming more acceptable across the board.

Recreational use aside, the plant actually has amazing medicinal uses. People with different medical issues, such as epilepsy, are able to reduce or completely get rid of their symptoms (pain, seizures, etc) with the use of marijuana.

Business Insider reports:

Marijuana use can prevent epileptic seizures, a 2003 study showed.

Robert J. DeLorenzo, of Virginia Commonwealth University, gave marijuana extract and synthetic marijuana to epileptic rats. The drugs rid the rats of the seizures for about 10 hours. Cannabinoids like the active ingredients in marijuana,tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC), control seizures by binding to the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability and regulating relaxation.

With that being said, Northern Michigan University is now offering a degree in ‘marijuana studies’ as they focus on ways to capitalize the drug.

Associate chemistry teacher Brandon Canfield said, “Obviously, the program is new and different and it might speak to a certain crowd. But for a student to succeed, they’re going to have to be very dedicated and motivated.”

He continued, “This is not an easy program. It’s a really intense, biology chemistry program,” Canfield added. He noted that while students won’t grow marijuana plants in the program, they do study similar plants with medicinal value.”

 Fox 5 Atlanta reports:

The public university in the Great Lakes State launched the program for the fall 2017 semester, with about a dozen students currently enrolled. In addition to courses in chemistry, biology, botany and horticulture, students will also study marketing and finance, the paper reported.

“When they hear what my major is, there are a lot of people who say, ‘Wow, cool dude. You’re going to get a degree growing marijuana,'” said sophomore Alex Roth, a student of the program. “But it’s not an easy degree at all.”

While other colleges and universities offer classes or certificates in marijuana policy and law, Northern Michigan breaks ground to offer the first four-year degree dedicated to the science and business of growing marijuana.

There is no denying that it is a powerful substance and can change lives when used properly. Why not start studying the plant and fully harness its abilities?

Would you consider majoring in marijuana studies?

Me, too.

That phrase has floated around social media all week, a trend started in response to the recent sexual assault allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The premise is simple, if not oversimplified: Shift the focus away from predators and onto the victims.

Tens of thousands of women—and men—have shared their stories of rape, sexual assault, or harassment under the hashtag. For some, the only words that came were “Me, too.”

I process through writing. This week, I have written something incredibly personal, for a trend no one—including myself—expected me to participate in. I believe I owe myself a voice, and for that reason, I share my story with you.

Me, too.

This wound is still fresh. Not long ago, shortly after moving halfway across the country to Washington, D.C., I was roofied in a bar. I recall telling myself I would just have one drink, since the friends I was supposed to meet canceled on me. The next 12 hours are black. Not figuratively black, but literally black. They do not exist in my mind except for a handful of hazy, dreamlike snapshots of context-less moments toward the beginning and end of that period.

What I know from hospital staff is that someone called an ambulance after finding me screaming for help in a Metro station, a strange and as-yet unidentified man at my side. I was covered in vomit and incoherent, but even drugged-up Amy still put up a fight—apparently, I was kicking at the EMTs.

I came to the next morning on an emergency room gurney, bruised in various places and my wrist so badly damaged it would likely need surgery. There was no alcohol in my system: I had not been drunk. No, some piece of human garbage chemically incapacitated me because he did not feel capable of simply overpowering me. In many other contexts I might take it as a compliment.

There is an ongoing criminal investigation on which I won’t comment. I don’t envy the job of police in this regard—as someone with a background in criminal law, I know how difficult these cases are to prosecute.

After I initially shared this story, several friends asked for explanations as to why I chose now to speak out. Why would I, as an ardent and principled conservative, appear to align myself with a “movement” so closely related in the public eye to the very militant feminism I often criticize? While I don’t owe anyone an explanation for why and when I share my story, I will nonetheless provide one. Why do I unapologetically proclaim, “Me, too?”

Because this is my voice. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

And today, my voice will speak.

It will speak on behalf of a moderation that neither ignores victims nor demonizes all men. It will speak to a pain that transcends political rhetoric. It will speak for those who are too often silenced by the sheer weight and emotional complexity of a burden they never asked to bear.

It will speak because this week I have seen too many ignorant comments, authored by too many people with too many opinions and too little compassion. People who, if they will listen at all, will only listen to a gun-owning, beer-drinking, God-fearing conservative woman whose disdain for modern militant feminism is well-known and unwavering.

Sometimes, we need to hear it from our own. Today, hear it from me.

There are a disconcerting number of people who, while ferociously and rightfully tearing apart the likes of Harvey Weinstein and his enablers, simultaneously denigrate the experiences of victims in the name of “confronting the lies of leftist feminism.”

I’m not referring to commentators like Michael Knowles and Ben Shapiro, both of whom have offered honest and thoughtful concerns about the #MeToo hashtag. By no means do I think Mayim Bialik was out of line for advocating the exercise of wisdom and modesty as means of self-protection.

I’m referring to those who, without an ounce of empathy, callously dismiss stories shared under the #MeToo hashtag. The ones whose arguments can be fairly characterized as: “If you were really assaulted, you would have gone to the police. You would drop names and raise hell until you got justice. But you either weren’t victimized or you are complicit in all the other assaults that came after you. Most of these women posting ‘me, too’ are exaggerating for attention or because they want to demonize men. There is no rape epidemic, and women sometimes lie, so most of these women are lying, too.”

Stop.

No, really. Just stop.

Yes, there is a difference between sexual assault and sexual harassment (although both are unacceptable) and sometimes the #MeToo hashtag has blurred that distinction. But that shouldn’t overshadow the larger picture of how many women are still affected by these issues.

And yes, it is difficult to bring the hammer of justice down on perpetrators when victims do not feel comfortable coming forward with names. (And I would urge women if they can to report incidents of sexual assault.) But a cold-hearted presumption of culpability or exaggeration only makes it harder for them to break their silence.

When someone confides in you that they were roofied, assaulted, molested, raped, or harassed, they have rendered themselves the most vulnerable they will likely ever be to you. Do not presume to sit in judgment of a person’s reaction to a horror you can never understand until you have lived it.

And no, I promise you, you do not understand. I did not understand, either.

I have sat in quiet judgment of so many women who did not respond to victimization in the precise way I imagined “angry, no-holds-barred, take-names-but-not-prisoners” Amy would respond. I have sworn to anyone who would listen that many victims are partially to blame, that my handguns and I could take care of myself, and that I would always be vigilant enough and smart enough and prepared enough.

And then there I was, waking up on a gurney at 4 in the morning. In an emergency room. By myself. Surrounded by strangers, asked the most intimate of questions by people who did not know my name five minutes ago, still hazy from a drug-induced stupor, bruised and hurting and afraid and wanting desperately to disappear into a hole until it all went away … and I promise you, you do not understand.

You don’t understand the sickening internal debate over whether and how and when and to what extent you should tell your parents. You don’t understand the utter humiliation of being unable to recall any interactions you’ve had in the past 12 hours. You don’t know how incredibly small you feel when your first real memory is of a doctor you’ve never seen before accusing you of smoking crystal meth because your ADD medication showed up as amphetamine on a toxicology screen, and you can barely find words to ask where you are, much less to explain you’ve never done drugs.

And the flood of questions. You cannot comprehend the flood of questions. What if the detective thinks I was just drunk? What if I WAS just drunk? What if the urine analysis can’t detect any substances because the four IVs and 13 hours of delay diluted the sample? Will anyone believe me then, if there’s no proof? What if there are pictures or video I don’t remember? Do I even want to see any evidence that could point to a suspect? Would I rather just never know if it protects me from knowing something awful? How I am going to pay these medical bills? Why can’t I move my wrist? Where is my wallet? Has anyone fed my cats? Was I raped? What if I’m pregnant? How I am going to get home?

You. Don’t. Understand.

You can’t.

It’s not your fault. Honestly, I envy your lack of understanding, and hope you never, ever have to understand. But until then, stop demeaning the actions of those who do. The #MeToo hashtag may be a cop out for some, but others—myself included—it is a way to tell other women they are not alone. It is a way to process our own stories and salve our very real pain. It is a way to reclaim the voices we lost.

I’m not asking anyone to refrain from having honest conversations on the subjects of victimization and assault. I’m simply asking you to refrain from categorically judging the stories behind the hashtag as nothing more than slacktivism or attention-seeking hogwash.

We are still struggling to comprehend our own responses and emotions, to come to terms with our own confusion and fear, to fight our own personal demons before we can turn to face the many devils that still exist in this world. If we who have lived it barely understand our own healing process, do not condescend to understand for us.

There is a time and place to address genuine concerns about the left’s war on manhood, the horrible lack of due process for college students accused of sexual misconduct, and the unfortunate but very true fact that sometimes lives are ruined over false allegations.

Whatever that time is, and wherever that place may be, it is not when a person is telling you she was a victim of assault. That will never be the right time or place to raise those concerns. When someone confides in you about an event so life-altering and full of heart-rending pain, you do one thing. Only one thing.

You listen.

Katherine Weaver had no choice but to flee her neighborhood in Santa Rosa, CA, as a wildfire began to consume it. And she had no intention of leaving her Bernese mountain dog, Izzy, behind.

But as she and her husband started to get into their car, Izzy leapt from her arms and ran into the night, Inside Edition reports. The couple barely escaped the neighborhood as flames reached 30 feet into the air.

Weaver became distraught thinking the dog had died.

Kathy Weaver:

"My parents woke up with flames surrounding their house in wikiup bridgeway and had seconds to get out. In the chaos of trying to escape, my parent's dog Izzy ran from them. My mom couldn't chase after her without risking her own life. 

They had to drive through walls of flames and across a burning wooden bridge to get to mark west springs road and to safety. They lost everything, but my mom was most devastated about leaving Izzy. My brother and husband were determined to try to get back to my parents property to see if by some miracle Izzy survived. They were turned away by police officers, but if you know my brother Jack or husband Patrick...neither one likes to be told no. They ended up hiking just under 3 miles to my parent's property. This video shows the last part of their hike up to my parent's house. It's a little long, but the ending is worth the watch."

The scene was captured on a video that has gone viral on Facebook.

[James Webb, Davidson Institute]

This article by James Webb discusses existential depression among gifted young people. He examines what it is, how it may manifest in a gifted child, and what a parent can do to help their child through these difficult feelings. He points out that gifted young people are more likely to have this type of depression because of their more highly developed sensitivities.

It has been my experience that gifted and talented persons are more likely to experience a type of depression referred to as existential depression. Although an episode of existential depression may be precipitated in anyone by a major loss or the threat of a loss which highlights the transient nature of life, persons of higher intellectual ability are more prone to experience existential depression spontaneously. Sometimes this existential depression is tied into the positive disintegration experience referred to by Dabrowski (1996).

Existential depression is a depression that arises when an individual confronts certain basic issues of existence. Yalom (1980) describes four such issues (or "ultimate concerns")--death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness. Death is an inevitable occurrence. Freedom, in an existential sense, refers to the absence of external structure. That is, humans do not enter a world which is inherently structured. We must give the world a structure which we ourselves create. Isolation recognizes that no matter how close we become to another person, a gap always remains, and we are nonetheless alone. Meaninglessness stems from the first three. If we must die, if we construct our own world, and if each of us is ultimately alone, then what meaning does life have?

Why should such existential concerns occur disproportionately among gifted persons? Partially, it is because substantial thought and reflection must occur to even consider such notions, rather than simply focusing on superficial day-to-day aspects of life. Other more specific characteristics of gifted children are important predisposers as well.

Because gifted children are able to consider the possibilities of how things might be, they tend to be idealists. However, they are simultaneously able to see that the world is falling short of how it might be. Because they are intense, gifted children feel keenly the disappointment and frustration which occurs when ideals are not reached. Similarly, these youngsters quickly spot the inconsistencies, arbitrariness and absurdities in society and in the behaviors of those around them. Traditions are questioned or challenged. For example, why do we put such tight sex-role or age-role restrictions on people? Why do people engage in hypocritical behaviors in which they say one thing and then do another? Why do people say things they really do not mean at all? Why are so many people so unthinking and uncaring in their dealings with others? How much difference in the world can one person's life make?

When gifted children try to share these concerns with others, they are usually met with reactions ranging from puzzlement to hostility. They discover that others, particularly of their age, clearly do not share these concerns, but instead are focused on more concrete issues and on fitting in with others' expectations. Often by even first grade, these youngsters, particularly the more highly gifted ones, feel isolated from their peers and perhaps from their families as they find that others are not prepared to discuss such weighty concerns.

When their intensity is combined with multi-potentiality, these youngsters become particularly frustrated with the existential limitations of space and time. There simply aren't enough hours in the day to develop all of the talents that many of these children have. Making choices among the possibilities is indeed arbitrary; there is no "ultimately right" choice. Even choosing a vocation can be difficult if one is trying to make a career decision between essentially equal passion, talents and potential in violin, neurology, theoretical mathematics and international relations.

The reaction of gifted youngsters (again with intensity) to these frustrations is often one of anger. But they quickly discover that their anger is futile, for it is really directed at "fate" or at other matters which they are not able to control. Anger that is powerless evolves quickly into depression.

In such depression, gifted children typically try to find some sense of meaning, some anchor point which they can grasp to pull themselves out of the mire of "unfairness." Often, though, the more they try to pull themselves out, the more they become acutely aware that their life is finite and brief, that they are alone and are only one very small organism in a quite large world, and that there is a frightening freedom regarding how one chooses to live one's life. It is at this point that they question life's meaning and ask, "Is this all there is to life? Is there not ultimate meaning? Does life only have meaning if I give it meaning? I am a small, insignificant organism who is alone in an absurd, arbitrary and capricious world where my life can have little impact, and then I die. Is this all there is?"

Such concerns are not too surprising in thoughtful adults who are going through mid-life crises. However, it is a matter of great concern when these existential questions are foremost in the mind of a twelve or fifteen year old. Such existential depressions deserve careful attention, since they can be precursors to suicide.

How can we help our bright youngsters cope with these questions? We cannot do much about the finiteness of our existence. However, we can help youngsters learn to feel that they are understood and not so alone and that there are ways to manage their freedom and their sense of isolation.

The isolation is helped to a degree by simply communicating to the youngster that someone else understands the issues that he/she is grappling with. Even though your experience is not exactly the same as mine, I feel far less alone if I know that you have had experiences that are reasonably similar. This is why relationships are so extremely important in the long-term adjustment of gifted children (Webb, Meckstroth and Tolan, 1982).

A particular way of breaking through the sense of isolation is through touch. In the same way that infants need to be held and touched, so do persons who are experiencing existential aloneness. Touch seems to be a fundamental and instinctual aspect of existence, as evidenced by mother-infant bonding or "failure to thrive" syndrome. Often, I have "prescribed" daily hugs for a youngster suffering existential depression and have advised parents of reluctant teenagers to say, "I know that you may not want a hug, but I need a hug." A hug, a touch on the arm, playful jostling, or even a "high five" can be very important to such a youngster, because it establishes at least some physical connection.

The issues and choices involved in managing one's freedom are more intellectual, as opposed to the reassuring aspects of touch as a sensory solution to an emotional crisis. Gifted children who feel overwhelmed by the myriad choices of an unstructured world can find a great deal of comfort in studying and exploring alternate ways in which other people have structured their lives. Through reading about people who have chosen specific paths to greatness and fulfillment, these youngsters can begin to use bibliotherapy as a method of understanding that choices are merely forks in the road of life, each of which can lead them to their own sense of fulfillment and accomplishment (Halsted, 1994). We all need to build our own personal philosophy of beliefs and values which will form meaningful frameworks for our lives.

It is such existential issues that lead many of our gifted individuals to bury themselves so intensively in "causes" (whether these causes are academics, political or social causes, or cults). Unfortunately, these existential issues can also prompt periods of depression, often mixed with desperate, thrashing attempts to "belong." Helping these individuals to recognize the basic existential issues may help, but only if done in a kind and accepting way. In addition, these youngsters will need to understand that existential issues are not ones that can be dealt with only once, but rather ones that will need frequent revisiting and reconsideration.

In essence, then, we can help many persons with existential depressions if we can get them to realize that they are not so alone and if we can encourage them to adopt the message of hope written by the African-American poet, Langston Hughes:

Hold fast to dreams, 
For if dreams die, 
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams. 
For if dreams go, 
Life is a barren field 
Covered with snow.

El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney Lisette Suder has been a prosecutor for over 22 years, but the passion and drive to give back to her community formed at any early age. Growing up in Sacramento as part of a law enforcement family, Ms. Suder always knew she wanted to be a prosecutor.  As a child, she sat with her grandmother, a CHP employee, and listened to a police scanner, hoping to hear her uncle, a Sacramento Deputy Sherriff, on air.  When she went to college, Ms. Suder founded the Woman's Pre-Law Society at UC Riverside and volunteered at the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.  While volunteering, Ms. Suder further recognized the positive impact prosecutors can have on a community by helping victims of crime.  

Ms. Suder continued her education at Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles with the goal of being a prosecutor.  She began her career at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, where she worked for 14 years.  During that time, she took over 100 felony cases to trial, including attempted murder, murder and serious sex offenses against both adult and child victims.  Ms. Suder was designated as a vertical prosecutor in both the Hard Core Gang Unit and the Sex Crimes Unit, assignments reserved for the best trial attorneys in the office.

Ms. Suder moved back to the Sacramento region to be near her family.  "As much as I love Los Angeles, I wanted to move back home to be closer to my family.  The lifestyle here is hard to beat, especially for raising children.  When the opportunity to join the El Dorado District Attorney's Office arose, I jumped at the chance to do what I love for a county that I care deeply about.  I feel blessed to have the chance to serve my community by seeking justice on behalf of victims of crime." 

El Dorado District Attorney Vern Pierson said, "We were very fortunate to have a prosecutor with Lisette's experience join our office.  She is a top-notch trial attorney who works tirelessly to ensure criminals are held accountable for their actions."

During her nine years as a Deputy District Attorney in El Dorado County, Ms. Suder has held a variety of assignments, including the vertical prosecution of sex crimes against both adult and child victims and several high-profile murder cases.  Ms. Suder has been a Trial Team Lead and a Special Victim's Unit Lead.  Notable cases handled by Ms. Suder include the brutal killing of an El Dorado Hills resident, Joanne Witt, by her 14-year-old daughter and her daughter's adult boyfriend, as well as the prosecution of Todd Winkler for the murder of his wife.  She is currently the Team Lead for the Sexual Assault Unit and Team Lead for office-wide training.

Deputy District Attorney Jamie Pesce, who has worked with and been mentored by Ms. Suder said, "Ms. Suder is an exceptional prosecutor who is always willing to share her broad experience and knowledge.  I gained invaluable knowledge working with Ms. Suder on sexual assault cases.  She is truly an asset to our office."

Ms. Suder lives in El Dorado Hills with her husband of 21 years and their children.  Ms. Suder is very active in the community, volunteering as a Debate & Speech instructor, and as a member of both the National Charity League and the local El Dorado Hills Boy's Team Charity.  Ms. Suder teaches at the Citizen's Academy and gives presentations to parents and students in the community concerning being safe on-line.

What people are saying about local Judge Steven Bailey (Ret.) campaign for California attorney general in the 2018 election:

Luis Alvarado.

"It is time! That we have an Attorney General in California to protect the interest of our people first, and not be partisan soldiers. Recently retired Supreme Court Justice Steven Bailey will make that office work for justice. Focusing on victims rights, and not Washington D.C. Political feuds."

Jason Scalese.

"Judge Steven Bailey, candidate for CA Attorney General was honored to receive the endorsement of the California Republican Veterans Association this past weekend at the CA GOP Convention. Judge Bailey worked hard to establish Veteran's Courts in El Dorado County and encourages Veterans all over the state to lobby their counties to do the same, noting they will have a strong ally with him as our next AG."

State Sen. Ted Gaines (R), who has endorsed Bailey.

“I strongly endorse Judge Steven Bailey for attorney general of California. I know public safety will be a top priority for Judge Bailey, including effectively combating the opioid crisis, fighting gang violence and violent crime and ensuring our children and families are safe in their communities. Judge Bailey will not selectively enforce the law as the incumbent and his predecessor have done. He has seen firsthand the results of failed policies handed down from Sacramento and the tragic consequences of hardened criminals being released from our state prisons back into our neighborhoods. We need bold leadership and real action from our next attorney general." 

Mike Reynolds. The author of California’s Three-Strikes sentencing law, has also endorsed Bailey.

“I can wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Judge Steven Bailey for attorney general, who can’t be bought or bullied by strong-arm politicians or special interests,”

[Jennifer Chapman, Eldorado National Forest]

... a large amount of water to the South Fork American River which supplies domestic and agricultural water for a large portion of El Dorado County...

Placerville, Calif. October 26, 2017 – The Eldorado National Forest will burn169 acres approximately four miles northwest of Kirkwood next week if weather conditions allow as part of a multi-year ecological restoration project in partnership with El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) and the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC). A total of 8,800 acres will be burned over the next 10-15 years to decrease the risk of wildfire in the biologically diverse Caples Creek watershed that provides a vital community water supply for 110,000 people in EID’s service area. The area to be burned next week (Unit A1) is located on a ridge in the upper watershed near Buck Pasture and Hay Flat.

“The lightning fires that have occurred in this part of the forest over the last 100 years have been suppressed leading to higher fuel loading and tree density,” said Forest Supervisor Laurence Crabtree. “We need to reintroduce fire under moderate conditions so a future wildfire won’t cause ecological damage to this important watershed.”

Forest staff from the Placerville and Amador Ranger Districts began collaborating with EID on restoration plans for the Caples Creek watershed in 2010. Since then, EID has received two grants from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy in support of this project. A grant for $75,000 to complete the environmental analysis was awarded in 2012, and a grant for $476,709 was awarded in 2016 to implement prescribed fire activities across 4,400 acres of the larger project area over the next several years. In addition to prescribed fire, the implementation grant will fund meadow and aspen restoration activities.

“This is critical to maintaining EID’s water supplies within the South Fork American River Watershed,” said Dan Corcoran, Environmental and Water Resources Manager for EID. “Caples Lake and the Caples Creek watershed provide both high quality drinking water and renewable hydroelectric power for the citizens of our region. In addition, there are large heritage trees in the mixed conifer stands as well as meadows, aspen and other hardwoods, American marten, Northern goshawk, and California spotted owl habitat. It’s an exceptional recreation area for hiking, fishing, hunting and equestrian use. These are all resources we must work together to protect.”

The Caples Ecological Restoration Project is aligned with the Sierra Nevada Watershed Improvement Program, an interagency effort led by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and the U.S. Forest Service to restore forest and watershed health across the Sierra Nevada region. Caples Creek delivers a large amount of water to the South Fork American River which supplies domestic and agricultural water for a large portion of El Dorado County.

“This work in the Caples Creek watershed supports the goal of creating resilient landscapes to protect the water, carbon storage, wood products, habitat and recreation values that our Sierra Nevada forests provide,” says Jim Branham, Executive Officer for the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. “It is important that we invest in projects like this that improve the health of our forests.”

Approximately 40 firefighters will conduct the upcoming prescribed fire using hand ignition within established control lines. Short term smoke is expected and may be present in the Lake Tahoe Basin, Carson City, or Reno given the prevailing southwest winds. Smoke may also occur in Kirkwood, Kyburz, Strawberry and Meyers due to the tendency for smoke to settle with cool air at night. Smoke sensitive individuals are encouraged to reduce their exposure by avoiding smoky areas, closing windows, or staying indoors.

Updates on the Caples Prescribed Fire will be posted on Twitter at www.twitter.com/eldoradoNF. For more information about the Caples Ecological Restoration Project, plesae visit the project pages on the forest website.

South Lake Tahoe has many dog friendly places to visit. To experience Tahoe with your best friend, check out these recommendations below.

The itinerary makes for the perfect Tahoe dog friendly getaway that is fun for both of you.

Take Fido to the Dog Store Upon Arrival
Let's say you just arrived into town and you forgot to bring dog food or just want to grab some treats for your hike. Go to " Dog, Dog, Cat " store located in the Raley's shopping center next to the Heavenly village. Don't trust your GPS to take you there. It took me to a side street outside the shopping complex. You can look for Raley's if you need to find a starting
point. The store has been open 14 years. I had a chance to speak with the owner, George. He opened the store with a background in the retail industry and his passion for pets. Impressive inventory in the store includes: healthy food, raw food, supplements, snacks, treats, coats, collars, toys, and everything else you can think of for your dog/cat. It's like a mini Whole Foods for dogs. I know my pup, Taz loved it there. The staff are also well informed about all things dog and Tahoe. Talk to them about which beach to go to or what hike to do and what supplement your dog needs. Make sure to ask for their brochure too that includes all dog-friendly beaches and parks in Tahoe. So grab some treats and let's continue with the day.

Lunch for Two
Just down the road on the main street is California Burger Co. A great place to sit outside by the fire pit, listen to music and people watch. Your dog is welcome there and they'll even bring you a water bowl. So hang out there for lunch and a beer or stop by for their appetizers and drinks at the end of the day. They have live music often and the musicians are actually pretty good.

Take Fido Shopping for You
When you get done with lunch, walk down South on the main street and you will run into Earthbound. This place is more for you than for the doggie but they do carry some dog items. Grab yourself a new salt lamp, some new jewelry, a travel journal or a beautiful Indian shawl.

Go Hiking or Hit the Beach
By now, your pooch is wondering why you came to Tahoe in the first place if you just going to hang out in the village. So, hop in the car and take your dog hiking or go get wet on the beach. A few places to do so depending on your time, weather and activity preference are:

Nevada Beach - you can park on the side of the road and walk through the forest to the beach. If it's off season, the campground there will be closed. The South side of the beach is dog friendly and your dog can play in the water or on the beach. They also have BBQs on the beach. You can grab something from Safeway across the highway and stay for the evening or make lunch on the beach. The path to the highway from the beach is 2.8 miles one way but if you park closer to the beach you don't have to walk as much.

Further down the road is Zephyr Cove beach. Not much walking here but you can still access the beach with your dog in the off season.

North of Zephyr Cove beach is Cave Rock. It's an easy hike to the top of the rock with some steep rocky terrain at the end. The views are definitely worth it. Recommend doing this at sunset especially if there are clouds in the sky. It will make for the perfect Instagram photo.

You can access the Tahoe Rim Trail from different points in town. It's up to you how far you want to go for as the trail goes around the entire lake. The views are definitely worth the hike.

Cocktail with a View
Both of you have earned your rest after all this hiking. It's time to chill enjoy a craft cocktail with a view of Lake Tahoe. We recommend doing so at Jimmy's Restaurant, part of the Landing hotel. You can sit on the outdoor patio and sip a glass of vino while Fido is resting in your feet. Try some of the Greek appetizers on the menu as well. The Landing Hotel is also pet friendly so if you decide to spend the night you don't need to walk to too far. Other pet friendly hotels in the area are: Hotel
Becket and Basecamp Hotel.

Hope you bring Fido with you on your next Tahoe vacation and enjoy the outdoors.

[Visit El Dorado County]

There’s no reason to let age, ability, or physical limitations stop you from enjoying El Dorado County’s natural scenic beauty. Whether you’re in a wheelchair, pushing a stroller, or just beginning your love of the great outdoors, you’ll love these barrier-free hikes. Consider them Mother Nature’s gift to you.

Dave Moore Nature Area

The Dave Moore Nature Area is approximately two miles west of the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park in Coloma on Highway 49.  The loop trail is about a mile long, half of that is constructed to be fully accessible to people with wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers, and leads to the South Fork of the American River. Look closely, and you’ll see remnants from nearly 150 years ago when Chinese laborers channeled creek water by hand with pick and shovel for gold mining.

El Dorado Trail in Placerville

Enjoy 8.5 miles of paved Class I Bike Path in Placerville along the El Dorado Trail, a network that will ultimately connect South Lake Tahoe to El Dorado Hills. The paved trail goes from Camino to Historic Main Street in Placerville where you can easily hop off the trail to explore the historical buildings and charms of a charming, genuine gold rush town. You won’t want to miss the breathtaking Weber Creek Trestle that dates back to 1903 and towers about 100 feet above the creek; it lies just one mile east of Missouri Flat Road.

The trail in the areas of Smith Flat and Missouri Flat Road is ADA accessible and wheelchair-friendly.

Learn more.

Rainbow Trail – Taylor Creek Visitor Center

The Rainbow Trail is a 0.7-mile loop hike near the Taylor Creek Visitor Center, just north of South Lake Tahoe. It’s an excellent trail for families and kids since it’s short and flat and boasts activities such as the Stream Profile Chamber, where you can see a section of Taylor Creek through aquarium windows. Adventuring types can explore the nearby Lake of the Sky trail, which leads to the shores of Lake Tahoe.

Tallac Historic Site and Valhalla

These two lakefront sites, located a few miles northwest of South Lake Tahoe on Highway 89, were once the summer retreat for some of San Francisco’s most elite families. Today you can explore the site’s remaining buildings, which are open from June through September, and learn about this bygone era or just meander along the scenic trails (many of which are paved) and enjoy the trees, fresh air, and views of Lake Tahoe.

Vikingsholm

Located at Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm is a stunning example of Scandinavian architecture that boasts an equally stunning backdrop. The trail from the parking lot to the property is a steep one-mile paved trail that drops 500 feet in elevation. While it’s a short hike, it is considered strenuous (though some would argue that the views of Emerald Bay and Vikingsholm are worth it!).
