or the 21st year, the
South Yuba River
Citizens League will
hold its annual Yuba
River Cleanup on Saturday,
according to a release.
The Yuba River Cleanup
is one of the largest of its
kind in the Sierra region,
and it relies on the power of
800 volunteers to work at
dozens of sites from Don-
ner Summit to the Lower
Yuba.
Hundreds of volunteers
are expected to embark on
a watershed-wide hunt to
rid the river of everything
from micro-garbage like
cigarette butts, bottle caps,
shards of glass and dog
waste, to large and outland-
ish items such as washers,
trailers and cars.
According to Melinda

of the South Yuba River

Helping on the
fire, however
we could
I
operated Charles
Tractor Service in
Grass Valley back
then. I thought I
could be of some use with
my Kubota and special
brush rake I’d made, that
even some Japanese people
came here to look at.
My tractor was small but
I moved a lot of Manza-
nita commercially with it,
and I could carry and stack
it, unlike a dozer that just
piles it up. But Cal Fire felt I
would just be in the way and
turned me down.
So I reported to the base
camp at the fairgrounds,
with my brush rake on and
nosed around for things to
do. Right away, pallets of
generators, food, parts, fire
clothes, tents bags and all
manner of stuff to support
firefighters was dropped
anywhere off of trucks. I’d
find out where the pallets
needed to go, my brush rake
would fit in the pallets and
off I’d go to the appropri-
ate staging area in the base
camp and deliver the pallet.
Getting there, staff would
have me look out for some-
thing they needed quickly.
So I’d track that down at
the drop pile, and deliver it.
I worked out of the Admin
table with a team from
Redding, to get dispatched
to solve other problems. Big
crews came down from Red-
ding to put this thing out.
I was a HAM operator and
had my pickup with a tall
steel camper on the back. A
terrific antenna platform.
Communications between
Cal Fire units, though not
known as Cal Fire then,
were pretty poor with just
handhelds. And the battal-
ion chiefs knew the name of
some place to report in the
woods, but not how to get
there. There weren’t many
places in the county I hadn’t
been and worked. So they
used me as a taxi to get them
to the fire scenes; and my
steel roof and mag-mount
antennas to improve radio
reception.
HAMs had repeaters all
over the place, and I could
get info out of a hole and re-
lay it back to command, that
way for them. The Amateur
Radio Club here had “Shad-
ows” with the fire captains,
Red Cross and a number of
people in charge.
Then as the firefighting
took its toll on equipment,
the Redding repair trucks
would be dispatched, but
had no idea where to go. So
they would follow me into
the fire zone to reach a dead
truck.
My most memorable one
was when I left the utili-
ty truck and crew up in a
meadow on Jones Bar at
Owl Creek. It was a real
inferno down Owl Creek.
An engine with brake failure
was reported down in Owl
Creek. I knew the road got
quite narrow down there;
hence leaving the utility guys
up on top.
I’d driven in fire before
somewhat. As a kid in Mon-
tana, my father was United
States Forest Service, and
we used to bring strange
things to staging areas and
fire lines. So I felt confident
enough to go down, since
there was no wind apparent
and the flames were going
straight up. So I went down
there to the bottom and
couldn’t find that engine.
I got back out with flames
on either side of the road
30 feet in the air. We called
around and finally found the
dead truck towards the end
of Jones Bar, on Yuba Trail,

if memory serves.
Towards the mop-up
phase I would guide engines
to smoke calls from civil-
ians. Most of these were
unnecessary as in many of
these places there wasn’t
anything left to burn. But
homeowners were jumpy
then. We were sent over to
Personeni’s land on Jones
Bar and Bitney Springs
area. Some kids showed up
and were running around
the burned-over hill there.
There was a lot of “skunk-
ing” and “skunk-holes”
there. Since the engine was
there, the crew killed a few
hot-spots and they had me
warning the kids to stay out
of there. Well, adults are
always warning kids of dire
disasters waiting for them;
so they pretend to pay atten-
tion but take their own way
when they get a chance. I
knew they would be running
around there as soon as we
left.
So I gathered the six or
so of them up and showed
them how to approach an
area downwind, using their
nose to detect “fresh” smoke,
through the acrid burn smell
that pervades. And how to
walk with a sound stick,
the longer the better. When
I detected a “skunk-hole”
smoke, we all stopped to see
that everyone got it. And
we approached slowly and
used the stick out ahead to
listen for the hollow “lid” on
the hole. These are under-
ground burned-out tree root
holes 3-6 feet deep and have
a crust “lid”over them that
looks just like the forest floor
to the untrained, and often
trained, eye.
I spread them out so they
could all see what I was
talking about, and told them
of the inferno that waited to
toast them alive two steps
in front of them. To add to
the warning, I told them
that if they fell in they would
instantly be paralyzed and
burnt to a crisp in seconds.
Disbelief on their fac-
es, but not so much now. I
broke the crust with the stick
and they all jumped back as
the white-hot pit growled
at them and singed some
eyebrows. Soon they were
able to work their way back,
nearer the edge to look down
into iron-melting heat; and
learned a lesson, I’m sure.
When I wasn’t on the
road somewhere, working
at the Admin desk at the
Fairgrounds fire camp, I
got the constant updates. I
remember having 72 dozers
in the staging or on the line,
from all over the West. I
learned that some operators
make their living following
the fires. They often defy
death doing the things they
do with that machine. And
death takes some of them.
While I was working
there, volunteering to help
them however I could to
help out my town and
county; they got my name
address, phone and social.
They needed all that in case
I got killed they said.
Unbeknownst to me they
had other motives in mind.
In the winter when things
are wet — this is when
things were wet and cold —
tractor work was scarce, as
is therefore money. Pleased
and surprised was I to find
an $1,800 check in the mail.
I had been hired on without
knowing it.

49ER FIRE
Memories of the 49er Fire
I
remember it was hot.
Even by late morn-
ing, one knew it was
going to be a burner ...
maybe up past 90 degrees.
(Yes, in 88 that was con-
sidered a hot day. My how
things have changed)
It was Sunday, and noth-
ing better to do than wash
the car when my wife came
out and asked if I could see
the smoke.
At the time I lived at the
end of Jones Bar Road,
near the Yuba Canyon’s
ridge and set back from the
cliff about a hundred yards.
It was a clear day, blue
sky with a slight breeze. I
looked to where she was
pointing and saw a column
of smoke rising from the
area I knew to be near the
Highway 49 bridge.
It was close, but I wasn’t
too worried. The thin
smoke column was rising
straight up. Like I said,
“slight breeze.” (We later
learned the fire was start-
ed by a burning piece of
toilet paper, dropped by a
presumably homeless man
near river’s edge.)
Shortly thereafter, I
heard a number of sirens
responding on near-
by Highway 49 and was
convinced it would be out
shortly, so continued with
my chores.
But, the more I thought
about it, the fact I was
director of the news oper-
ations at KNCO radio, I de-
cided better safe than sorry
and called the station.
Because it was Sun-
day, the only staff at the
station was a weekend air
personality who ran and
monitored a pre-recorded
religious Sunday morning
program.
I suggested he simply
announce the location of
the fire and that emergency
responders were on the way
and to be aware of the po-
tential traffic problems.
Within the next 30
minutes, I realized the
wind was picking up and
the smoke was no longer a
plume, but a rather large
mass sweeping west and
down the Yuba River valley.
I called the station and
was told the phone was
Housing homeless
prevents fires
I was there too, first on
the scene as a volunteer of
the Forty Niner Fire De-
partment. It was ignited
by a homeless man. I’m
sure this memory plays a
large role in why I keep
writing about the need to
not force the homeless to
camp in the brush where
they regularly light fires.
It’s also just common
sense.
The fire danger increas-
es every time they break

“ringing off the wall.” I told
him to alert the station
manager and other staff
to help, and I moved to
a neighbor’s house that
overlooked the canyon and
river. From there I filed
continuous updates as the
flames marched down the
canyon.
It wasn’t long before a
CDF (Cal Fire) truck and
two fireman pulled up
to the neighbor’s house
with orders for everyone
gathered there to evacuate.

I ran home, grabbed
all the “important” stuff,
— wife and dogs, etc. —
and drove out as flames
reached the ridge’s crest.
We were forced to leave
two horses and a goat in the
upper meadow. I opened
the corral gate, hoping they
would naturally escape the
flames (They did).
The fire was roaring

path, burning so hot that

black hole.

family and furry friends,

on doors, was given access
to landline telephones by

SEPTEMBER 11, 1988
REMEMBER WHAT’S IMPORTANT
What you think is important in an emergency evacuation
often isn’t.
I was lucky to learn that.
It wasn’t until returning three days later that, to my horror, I
discovered I’d left some of the most precious, irreplaceable
things — family portraits, photos and other momentos
overlooked in the panic to get out.
Insurance papers and such are important too, but replace-
able. That photo of your first-born blowing out the candles
of her first birthday cake isn’t.
Take heed, gather them or know where they are, now.
to update listeners. By
this time, the entire news
staff had descended on the
station and were updating
listeners non-stop.
We’d suspended all pro-
graming and simply linked
callers to the air and let
them report observations
and announce locations
for evacuees to find shelter.
Advertisers called and vol-
unteered to suspend run-
ning their ads so as not to
interrupt the flow of infor-
mation to listeners ... that
continued for three days.
Until that event, KNCO
was a 5 a.m. to midnight
broadcast operation. That
changed the first night.
We went 24 hours and
remained that way each day
that week with coverage
and reports from the fire
scene, reporting on the lev-
el of destruction.
By Thursday, the winds
died and the fire had
moved on, eventually burn-
ing itself out in the vast
Spenceville Wildlife area
near Beale Air Base.
In its wake, 33,700
scorched acres and 312
destroyed homes and out-
buildings. Two houses on
my street were burned to
the ground, nothing left but
white dust.
The way the communi-
ty came together, remains
in my mind, as the most
moving experience for
me. As an example, at one
point early in the week,
Red Cross called the station
announcing its need for
blankets, food and clothing
and to be very tidy, he lit
his toilet paper on fire.
There were winds that
day, the fire just kept

The response was almost
instantaneous. It literally
brought tears to the eyes.
Hours and hours into the
night, car after car pulled

LOCAL, STATE & NATION

9/11 prompted some to move away to new lives
By Jennifer Peltz
Associated Press

NEW YORK — On 9/11, Stephen

Feuerman saw the World Trade
Center aflame through the window
of his Empire State Building office
and watched, transfixed, as a second
fireball burst from the twin towers.
He ran through the 78th floor
urging everyone to get out, thinking
their skyscraper could be next. With
transit hubs shut down, he couldn’t
get home to his family in suburban Margery Koveleski shows a
Westchester for hours. Among the picture of her family when they
dead were someone he knew from moved from New York City to
college and people he recognized Ohio.

from his commuter train.
Feuerman had always seen him-
self as a New Yorker, but “every-
thing changed that day,” he says.
Shaken by the experience, the
apparel broker and his wife put
their home on the market weeks
later. Within four months, they and
their two small children moved to a
gracious South Florida suburb they
figured would be safer than New
York.
So it was until this past Valen-
tine’s Day, when mass violence tore
into Parkland, Florida, too.
“There really is no safe place,” says
Feuerman, whose children survived
but lost friends in the massacre
that killed 17 people at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School.
The Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks
prompted the Feuermans and an
uncounted number of others to
quietly move away from their lives
near the hijacked-plane strikes that
killed nearly 3,000 people in New
York, the Pentagon and a Pennsyl-
vania field.
Some sought a place where they
could feel safe. Some placed a new
importance on living near family.
Others simply re-evaluated what
they wanted from life.
“IT REALLY MADE US HAVE
A WAKE-UP CALL”

ey drives from his home near New

Bern, North Carolina, to Washing-
ton for a few days. The 350-mile
trips are a price the federal lobbyist
pays for peace of mind after Sept. 11.
He and his wife, Jennifer, were
rooted in Washington before the
attacks. He was a former federal
official lobbying on Native Ameri-
can and gaming issues. She’d grown
up nearby, though her parents had
moved to North Carolina.
Then came the strike on the Pen-
tagon, the paralyzing feeling of not
knowing what might happen next,
the weeks of watching military air-
craft patrol around their suburban
Virginia home.
“It really made us have a wake-up
call: ‘How do we want to live our
lives?’” Scott says. “Do we want
to be up here in this rat race of
Washington, D.C.?” Or raising kids
somewhere that didn’t feel so on-
guard, somewhere closer to family
in times of crisis?
The choice wasn’t simple, partic-
ularly for a lobbyist. The couple’s
2002 move to the New Bern sub-
urb of Trent Woods meant extra
costs, including a Washington
apartment and a then-advanced
phone system to make sure Scott
wouldn’t miss clients’ calls to his
office there. Jennifer, already a law-
yer, had to take a second bar exam
in North Carolina.
Friends suggested the Daceys
were overreacting. And it was an
adjustment, going from career-fo-
cused, on-the-go Washington to
the gentler pace of eastern North
Carolina.
But it also opened unexpected
opportunities. Scott is a county
commissioner and ran for Congress;
a Republican, he never considered
seeking office in Democratic-leaning
northern Virginia. Jennifer is a com-
munity college trustee and serves on
other local boards.
And their children, 17 and 15,
grew up in a town repeatedly
ranked among the state’s safest.
“It would not be for everybody,
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOS
but for us, it’s been the right fit,”
Jennifer says. “We’re outside the
bubble, and this is how America
really lives.”
“YOU’RE ONLY GOING TO
CHANGE YOUR LIFE WHEN
THINGS ARE BAD”
Michael Koveleski isn’t afraid
of taking risks. His Christian faith
gives him confidence he’ll be OK if
he does what’s right, and he’s a mo-
tivational-book reader who thrives
on “tenacious optimism.”
He needed plenty of it after he
and his wife, Margery, left New
York in the wake of 9/11 with four
children and no work lined up.
New York and church had
brought the couple together in the
1980s: she a Haitian-American
from Brooklyn, he a white art stu-
dent from Massachusetts. By 2001,
he was a furniture designer for a
platform-bed shop, she a mom and
frequent school volunteer. They
had a small house and a full life.
“
There really is no safe
place.
”
— Stephen Feuerman
After 9/11, though, Michael
sensed emotional burnout sur-
rounding him at his lower Man-
hattan workplace, while security
measures lengthened his commute
from Queens and devoured his
time with the children. Two months
later, American Airlines Flight 587
crashed near the Koveleskis’ home,
killing 265 people. There had to
be a better way to live, the couple
thought.
The next spring they moved to
Springfield, Ohio, where they had
church friends.
If a better way, it wasn’t always
smooth. It was initially a challenge
for the Koveleskis’ children to be
the new, mixed-race kids in an area
less diverse than Queens. And Mi-
chael struggled to find work in the
shaky post-9/11 economy.
But, eventually, he made it. He
opened his own business, Design
Sleep.
“You’re only going to change your
life when things are bad — or terri-
ble,” Michael says. “Our thing was
9/11, starting over with nothing. ...
I am thrilled at the way it came out
to be.”

49ER FIRE
49er Fire memories
Editor’s note: The Union
asked area residents to
share their memories, in-
cluding how they first heard
word of the 49er Fire that
burned through western
Nevada County on Sept. 11,
1988 — 30 years ago today.
See this story at TheUnion.
com to share your own
memories of the 49er Fire.
‘Better set up for
the big one’
As I have many, many
recollections of this fire,
this one sticks out the most.
The fire started. The
call came over the radio
about a fire on Highway
49 and Sweetland Road. I
will never forget what Ira
Townsend, the Air At-
tack Officer for CDF said.
His words were “Got your
smoke in sight and you bet-
ter set up for the big one.”
The pyro cumulous cloud
was growing bigger than
ever. Strike teams and task
forces were assembled from
all local fire districts in the
County. Cal Fire (CDF at
the time) sent resources
from throughout the state.
Other local government fire
departments from as far
away as San Diego respond-
ed to the 49er Fire.
I was a task force leader
on this incident. I was
assigned to the Jones Bar/
McKitrick Ranch area. The
wind was blowing out of
the canyon so hard it was
sending sheets of corru-
gated metal roof 100 feet.
We saved multiple houses
in the area. At the end of
Jones Bar Road, near the
Yuba River, a hand crew
was attempting to tie in
and blacken a part of a fire
line. It was 5:30 a.m. on
Monday, Sept. 12, when
I received a frantic radio
message from engine 5372.
E-5372 was protecting
a house at the very end of
the road. I had noticed the
fire activity pick up rapidly.
I positioned myself as a
lookout for the crew and
engine. Earlier that day I
requested a dozer in the
area build a large football
size safety zone for the
protection of the personnel.
A good move! Because the
fire came flying out of the
canyon.
The crew’s headlamps
looked like fireflies as they
were running out of the
canyon and to the safety
zone. E-5372 was staffed by
a husband and wife team
along with the 15-year-old
son of the assistant chief of
Penn Valley. As we talked
through the ordeal, things
calmed down. As you can
imagine, this was a very
tough time for all involved.
The safety zone worked and
thank God all were safe.
If this same footprint of
this 33,500 acre fire hit
anywhere in Nevada Coun-
ty the devastation would
be massive. Lives would
be lost! Provide us with a
chance and clear next to
your structure. I am just re-
turning from the Mendoci-
no Complex on Ophir Hill

Cal Fire Task Force 9239.

any better!

No rest for the heroic
I was a young battalion
chief for Cal Fire in the
Butte Unit when the 49er
Fire broke out.
I had just spent 17 days
in Yellowstone Nation-
al Park on the fires there.
I had been back one day
and was already on a fire
in Butte County due to the
extreme fire conditions.
My fire management team
had come up on call and
was dispatched to the 49er
Fire to help the local Cal
Fire Unit with organizing
and managing the fire. My
position on the team was
Operations.
One of my many memo-
ries of the fire was meeting
up with the local battalion
chief, Ed Waggoner. Ed and
I got into a helicopter and

flew the fire. When we got
up over Lake Wildwood
all I could see were houses
burning and boats on fire
floating around randomly.
It reminded me of some
war scene. Both lanes of the
road leading to Lake Wild-
wood were full of trucks
and cars full of belongings,
pets and horses heading
out to Highway 20. It was
almost impossible to drive
into Lake Wildwood.
I have many more
thoughts and memories of
the fire, such as the Linda
Fire Department engine
burning up and the crew
being rescued by a Cal Fire
crew.

I had just started the
8th Butte Fire Academy in
Chico and was hired as a
seasonal firefighter by Chief
Grueneburg that sum-
mer. Never will forget that
fire and all the damage it
caused in Lake Wildwood
and Rough and Ready.
Seems like a million years
ago today!

Heroes ... every
one of them
We lived on Starduster
and our power lead that
came across the pasture
went down almost as soon
as the fire jumped the Yuba.
No water to fight fire.
Evacuation orders came,
the kids and grandparents
left for friends on Indian
Springs and Cliff stayed
with properties, using a big
yellow, Massey Ferguson
diesel, to run over fences
and cut firebreaks, on top of
firebreaks. Charlie Jakobs,
communications liaison
for the multiple fire units,
personally insisted that Cliff
leave for his safety. When
Cliff refused and said he
would keep fighting with
the tractor. (Charlie and he
had graduated USF in the
same class) Charlie asked,
“How good are you on that
thing”? To which, Cliff re-
plied “We’re about to find
out.” A couple weeks later
Charlie led the FEMA team
and had the helicopter land
in the pasture behind our
house, bringing them over
the fence.
Charlie explained the
funny story about the fire
and the guy on the yellow
tractor, who in a last-ditch
effort to save something,
threw the china in the pool.
After the fire burned the
barn, close to the house,
Charlie went on to say he
could have been such a
hero but the wind came up,
moved the fire wall away
from the house and it was
saved.
Just want to say, during
the three-day siege, with
fire all around and winds
blowing flames in all direc-
tions, KNCO (Ron Monet,

truck) provided a lifeline

hadn’t been for their con-
tinuous reporting on the
fires’ location and road clo-
sures we would have been
bereft of civilization, not
knowing what was beyond,
what was left, where the fire
crews were. Fire crews, vol-
unteers and our local media
earned their pay 100 times
over and a huge amount of
gratitude from all of us and
an entire community for
their dedication. Heroes ...
every one of them!

Evacuation scarier
than the fire
My husband was at work
at Grass Valley Group
and I was home in Lake
Wildwood.
His final call to me was
“get the heck out of there –
it’s coming your way!”
I had already loaded the
car just in case and as I
pulled out of my driveway,
security came down our
street telling us to evacu-
ate. The scariest part was
not the fire – it was the
traffic jam trying to exit
at the main gate. The fire
engines were entering in a
steady stream and no one
could get out. We stood
outside our cars for a long,
long time before we finally
got out the gate.
My neighbors on the cul
de sac above my house lost
their homes, but thanks to
the firefighters, my home
was spared. They are truly
my heroes forever!

Our firefighters do
incredible work
I also worked at Grass
Valley Group at the time of
the 49er Fire. We had been
unable to go to work at the
Bitney Springs location for
several days. Finally my
husband, Ron, and I were
given permission to go to
Building 2 and get a few of
the computers so we could
work from home. We were
given 10 minutes.
When we got there you
could see the smoke off in
the distance. As we made
our third and fourth trips to
our vehicle with the equip-
ment, the wind generated
from the approaching fire
made it very hard to open
the double doors for that
last trip out. As we were
going down the long drive
at GVG’s front entrance to
Bitney Springs Road, the
fire had gotten surprisingly
close.
Across the road was a
pond and a home beyond
that. The flames that were
coming over that hill were
much higher than the tall
pines behind the house.
I remember thinking we
better book it out of there
before the fire jumps Bitney
Springs Road. As we head-
ed out, there were many
fire trucks heading towards
GVG. I looked back at that
house by the pond think-
ing it was surely a goner.
Thinking too that I proba-
bly wouldn’t have a place to
work at anymore.
Days later when the dan-
ger had passed and we were
allowed to return to the
Bitney Springs site, I was
amazed to see that house
across the street from Grass
Valley Group still standing.
Our firefighters do incredi-
ble work.
Obviously the fire did
cross Bitney Springs Road
because some of the build-
ings on the Grass Valley
Group site were burned
down. The flames came
very close to my Building 2,
the art department. I will
forever be grateful to those
brave people who fought
that fire.

‘This wasn’t going
to be a good day’
As some would say, “I was
there.” I lived out on Indian
Springs road back then,
and a member of the Penn
Valley Fire Department.
I recall walking to our
kitchen, l looked out the
window and saw the smoke.
Then I noticed the wind
on the water of our lake. It
was from the north.
No, this wasn’t going to
be a good day.
I grabbed my fire gear
and headed to the station.
Word spread fast, and most
of our crews were there
just waiting for the call. We
didn’t have to wait long. My

engine was sent to Jones
Bar to help Rough and
Ready.
We were assigned to
guard one home, and we
could see the fire, still on
the north side of the river.
It had a long way to go
before it got here. So we
thought.
As soon as the fire dis-
appeared below the lower
ridge line, it crossed the riv-
er. All in five or so minutes.
The owners did a great
“fire safe” job. They saved
their own home. The fire
came through in minutes,
we gave the place a good
once over and headed to
regroup.
That was just our first
two hours!

Welcome to the
neighborhood
Ah yes, like yesterday. We
had just arrived in Neva-
da County a few months
before and that day was our
moving in day.
We lived just off of Mc-
Courtney, and as we stood
from the deck of our new
home, watching the smoke
and fire we didn’t know
whether we should go or
stay. Decided to stay and
then ... take this into the
house and leave this in the
car, if we have to make a
quick get-away.
We quickly learned the
kindness and warmth of the
community. No one cared
about your race, religious
or political affiliation ... just
“Do you need help?”
Sitting in our car with the
radio on, strangers would
appear in our windows to
listen to the updates.
“Need Gatorade ... OK
enough Gatorade, bring
blankets,” we heard from
the broadcasters at KVMR.
We literally had a warm
welcome to our new com-
munity, and we have never
regretted the move.

An emotional three days
It had been a long hot,
dry summer and like every
September we were fearful
of fire.
On this Sunday morn-
ing, my mother-in-law was
visiting us from out of town
for a few days. My wife and
her mother went to church
and I decided to go into
town to catch up on some
bookkeeping at our store.
As I left Owl Creek Road
and turned onto Jones Bar
Road, I could see a big
column of smoke in the di-
rection of North San Juan.
Then fire trucks began
appearing headed toward
Jones Bar. When I got to
Highway 49 at the Willo,
I saw that they had closed
the highway to traffic and I
knew this was serious.
I nervously returned
home and turned on KNCO
news radio and called
neighbors on the Yuba
Canyon ridge to monitor
the fire’s progress. I cleaned
pine needles off the roof
while I waited. By 1:30
p.m., CDF was ordering
evacuations. I took about
an hour to load my truck
with clothes, paintings,
photos, contents of the
safe, and a few key carpen-
try tools in case I had to
rebuild.
I left as the flames began
cresting out of the Yuba can-
yon and heading my way.

Saw smoke on the water
On Sept. 10, 1988 I was
cutting weeds on my vacant
lot in Lake Wildwood in ac-
cordance with the require-
ments of Lake Wildwood
Association.
The next day I returned
from my home in Sacramen-
to with my ski boat and my
oldest son and several cadets
who graduated together from
the Sacramento Sheriff’s
academy. We launched my
boat into Lake Wildwood
and began water skiing. The
security patrol boat was the
only other boat on the lake.
We saw the smoke to the
north of Highway 49 and saw
unburned pine cone petals
float down into the lake but
were not very concerned.
Then my boat motor stopped
dead in the middle of the lake
and the cadets dove into the
water and towed the boat to
shore at Vista Park. By then
the patrol boat had left.
I found the problem was
oil in the distributor and was
able to clean it and get the
engine going.
By then a huge wall of
flames came over the hill to
the north and we saw motor
homes being evacuated out
the north gate. We quickly
pulled the boat out and left

The next week I sat in my

Crazy, sad days, for sure
I know exactly where I was
when the 49er broke out.
I had been on the Sacra-
mento River with my parents
fishing when I got the call. I
was coming home across the
valley and saw tons of smoke
climbing into the sky in the
direction of Penn Valley!
As I was climbing Pet Hill
they were stopping everyone
and cars were pouring out of
Lake Wildwood at the Pleas-
ant Valley intersection.
I can’t even remember
why I had our stock trailer
but they asked if I could start
hauling livestock.
I went home, put the cattle
and horses in the arena in
case it got to our house, load-
ed pictures and some keep-
sakes (we’ve had our house
burn down so knew what we
couldn’t replace) and headed
out to save others’ animals.
That’s how it went for the
next few days. Almost got
caught by the fire when haul-
ing out of Rough and Ready,
as it came up the canyon from
Grass Valley Group. Brad
Prowse was my boss at GVG
back then and my husband
at the time ended up fighting
fire on GVG property as well.
It did end up jumping
Highway 20 and getting close
to our place in Penn Valley.
Crazy days and sad for a lot of
people for sure.

Fire trucks pulled
out of parade
It was the 22nd annual
Constitution Day Parade
and I was lined up on Broad
Street as a part of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revo-
lution (DAR) Captain John
Oldham Chapter’s entry.
I was the Constitution
Week Chairperson that year
and we all were very excited
about the parade, Nevada
City being one of only a few
cities in the county that cele-
brated Constitution Day.
It had been getting smoky
and we began wondering
where the fire was. There
were rumors that the fire
started outside Nevada City.
The members of DAR started
to get alarmed when all the
fire trucks entered in the pa-
rade started pulling out of the
parade lineup and leaving.
There was a wind that day
and by the time our entry
drove through the streets of
Nevada City and finished
the parade route, the one
thought on my mind was that
I was anxious to get to my
car and turn on the radio so
I could listen to KNCO and
find out how close the fire
was. Little did we know that
first afternoon that the fire
would sweep across the coun-
ty several times and spread
in several directions before it
was finally contained and the
fire completely out.
Many friends from church
and from where I worked lost
their homes. Two generations
of one family from First Bap-
tist Church lost two homes,
outbuildings and all the
contents, including all fam-
ily photographs. This was a
wake-up to those of us in Ne-
vada County to be prepared
and have an evacuation plan
and a to-go bag ready.
My husband Jim and I
were both HAM Radio oper-
ators and we volunteered at
Nevada Union High School

tion center.

Woke that morning to very
high winds. My husband
worked in fire for the Forest
Service. As he went off to
work we said goodbye know-
ing there was a possibility a
fire could break out (Septem-
ber and wind).
As he drove north on High-
way 49 to his duty station in
Camptonville, he saw smoke
and pulled off the road. He
observed Gary Wayne Parris
running around with a buck-
et trying to put out the fire.
Bob continued up to Peter-
son’s Corner to call in the fire
(before cell phones). He pro-
ceeded to the Camptonville.
I did not know the fire had
started until later that day,
while sitting on Broad Street
watching the Constitution
Day parade. Looking up
Broad Street we could see a
huge plume building. That
was when I first heard/saw
the start of the fire.
The following days were
apocalyptic. From the smoke
and inversion it looked like
doomsday for a week. Bob
was subpoenaed as a witness
to testify at the trial (against
Gary Wayne Parris).

Trouble with purging
Dear Annie: Next month,
I’m moving into an apart-
ment that’s smaller than my
current one. So in the mean-
time, I’ve been going through
all of my stuff, trying to purge
anything I don’t use. I have
been donating a lot of clothes,
books, DVDs, knickknacks
and the like to Goodwill. I
used to have trouble letting
go of things because of senti-
mental attachment, but after
a few moves, I’ve gotten pret-
ty good at detaching feelings
from objects.
The one place where
I’m running into problems
is when it comes to gifts.
Anything a friend or family
member has given me, I have
a hard time throwing away. I
feel guilty. I think about the
person excitedly picking the
thing out for me. For instance,
my aunt always sends me jew-
elry, but I only wear it when
I see her, a couple of times a
year. I don’t really wear much
jewelry normally. And my
mom and dad have gotten me
countless T-shirts from their
travels over the years. They’re
great T-shirts, but I must have
over 30 T-shirts. My dresser
drawers are overstuffed. But
every time I put one of the
T-shirts in my “donation”

Reflections on 9/11, John McCain

when our understanding of
peace changed in America

thousands of lives were anni-
hilated. Our world changed
that day.
Throughout history, horrif-
ic things have occurred that
have changed our world and
our view of it. As our country
has recently honored the leg-
acy of Sen. John McCain, we
got to know more about his
role as a fighter pilot and then
POW during the Vietnam
War. Every time I sit with the
notion of what he experi-
enced, I shudder. McCain
was shot down in Hanoi. His
arms and one leg broke upon
impact of his plane crash.
He was held hostage for 5
1/2 years, three of them in
solitary confinement. And he
survived. That war divided

Emotions will surface and
should be carefully handled
to avoid any distress. Giving
someone the wrong impres-
sion will leave you in a diffi-
cult situation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22):
Don’t share secrets, or some-
one will use them against
you. Work toward your goal,
but don’t present what you
are doing until it is polished.
There will be no room for
error.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-

Dear Can’t Give Away
Gifts: Perhaps a little thought
exercise will help you to clear
this mental hurdle. Think of
a gift you gave years ago to a
loved one — your aunt, let’s
say. Now think of that gift
sitting on her closet shelf,
gathering dust and giving her
pangs of guilt every time she
sees it. Would you want her
to keep it just because you
gave it to her? Of course not.
You’d want her to donate it
and make space for things
she loves. And she’d probably
want you to do the same. You
might also let her know you
have plenty of jewelry now,
to save her from spending
money on it in the future. As
for the T-shirts from your
parents, you could repurpose
them into a quilt or simply
keep one or two of your favor-
ites and donate the rest.
Remember that just be-
cause you don’t love a gift
doesn’t mean you love the
giver any less.

wrong in the face of war. Sen.
McCain became an emblem
of forgiveness as well as a
fierce proponent of a strong
military.
And so it has been over
the generations. Wars occur
for myriad reasons. Friction
abounds. People are killed
and kill others. Some, like
McCain, stand out in their
efforts to capture peace after
unimaginable despair. In the
end, what do we learn? I am
not being a cynic or a philos-
opher here. I think it is wise
for each of us to think about
what we have learned when
we face war.
I like to break these ideas
down to what we as indi-
viduals can consider and
do, because that’s where I
believe we can claim our
power. What do you do when

lead you astray if you put too
much credence in an exagger-
ated or false impression.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Tame any emotional
urges you have before you
say or do something you’ll
regret. Focus on your person-
al finances, health or legal
matters, and fight the urge to
retaliate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

make a couple of adjustments
before you present what you
want to do. Stay on top of
medical concerns and per-
sonal investments.

Nelson remained at
Washington Ridge another
eight months before his
release, then moved out of
state. When he returned to
California a few years ago,
he chose to make Nevada
County his home.
“I go up there every now
and then, to look around,”
Nelson said of the site of
the fire’s origin. “It was a
big part of my life.”

‘REMINDED ME OF
SOME WAR SCENE’
Even veteran firefighters
were stunned by the speed
and ferocity of the blaze.
“It reminded me of some
war scene,” said retired
CDF Region Chief Bill
Holmes, remembering his
first view of Lake Wild-
wood from the air. “All
I could see were houses
burning and boats on fire
floating around randomly.
... Both lanes of the road
leading to Lake Wildwood
were full of trucks and cars
full of belongings, pets
and horses heading out to
Highway 20. It was almost

California Department of
Forestry at the time. After
all, he said, firefighters had
to knock down a 35-acre
fire the night before.
He was sitting with Capt.
Gary Sweet, a longtime
county resident and fire-
fighter, when Sweet made a
prediction.
“Gary said, ‘Tony, we’re
going to get a fire today,’
meaning a major fire,”
Clarabut said. “Not 10 min-

Care in a different key
Music therapy benefits brought to life at hospital
By Mary Beth TeSelle
Special to The Union
W
hen it comes
to health care,
we typical-
ly think of
medication, technology
and procedures. But more
and more often, health care
providers are looking past
traditional types of care and
finding that alternative ther-
apies can yield significant,
and sometimes surprising,
benefits.
Among these “out of the
box” therapies – music.
“Music is such a pow-
erful conduit for healing,”
says Dignity Health Sierra
Nevada Memorial Hospital
Chaplain Perry Mayforth.
“Music is underestimated
for the power it brings.”
Researchers at McGill
University in Montreal
collected data from 400
studies examining the
health benefits of music and
found that music improves
the body’s immune system
function while also reducing
stress.
Music was also found to
be more effective than pre-
scription drugs in reducing
anxiety before surgery.
For the health care pro-
viders at SNMH, music
therapy has become one
more tool in providing care
to patients throughout the
hospital.
“It is so powerful to hear
the peaceful sound of mu-
sic,” says Laura Seeman,
Patient Experience Manager
at SNMH. “It is truly lovely
to see the effect it has on
patients.”
One person who is bring-
ing that effect to life within
the walls of SNMH is Lisa
Stine, who leads the SNMH
Community Cancer Center’s
weekly Harp Therapy Sup-
port Group.
The group is open to any
patient, survivor or fam-
ily caregiver affected by
cancer. Participants don’t
need any musical training or
experience.
“The harp is truly a
magical instrument – even
simple tunes are fun, and
nothing sounds bad on it,”
explains Stine. “The group
allows people to share the
beauty and healing power of
music.”
Protect kids against flu
By SNMH Staff
Special to The Union
With flu season just
around the corner, the
American Academy of
Pediatrics has issued a rec-
ommendation for parents:
All children 6 months of
age and older should have
a flu shot.
The policy statement
was published online last
week in the journal Pediat-
rics. Last year’s flu season
resulted in a record num-
ber of pediatric deaths.
About 80 percent of
the children who died
had not received a flu vac-
cination, according to the
CDC.
The AAP policy states
that the annual flu vaccine
Prostate screenings offered
September is National
Prostate Cancer Awareness
Month. The Sierra Nevada
Memorial Hospital
Community Cancer Center
is partnering with Prostate
Conditions Education
Council to host a free
prostate cancer screening.
The event will take place
on Wednesday, Sept. 19
from noon-5 p.m. at the
Participants of the Harp Therapy Support Group share the gift of music with patients and staff throughout Sierra
Nevada Memorial Hospital.
“
It is so powerful to hear the peaceful
sound of music.
” Laura Seeman
Patient Experience Manager at SNMH
Stine points to research
which has shown that
cancer patients engaged in
music therapy experience
increased energy, improve-
ment in heart rate, and
decrease in depression. She
finds that music also helps
people to share more openly.
“Through music, the
group members are able
to move into a safe and
creative space with new
friends. They bond and heal
and having the focus on the
beauty of the music truly
uplifts them.”
More than a dozen of
Stine’s past students “give
back” by performing for
patients throughout the
hospital.
“Volunteering to perform
is not a requirement for par-
ticipation in the program,”
Stine says. “However, over
the years I have observed
that this ‘gifting’ of beauty
to others is a big part of the
healing process.”
And it’s not just the me-
lodic sounds of the harp that
significantly reduces a
child’s risk of contracting
severe influenza and the
complications that can
result.
“The flu virus is com-
mon and unpredictable,”
said Flor M. Munoz, MD,
FAAP, member of the
AAP Committee on
Infectious Diseases. “It
can cause serious com-
plications even in healthy
children. Being immunized
reduces the risk of a child
being hospitalized due
to flu.”
This season, the AAP
recommends that pedia-
tricians offer the injectable
form of the vaccine to all
children 6 months and
older as soon as it becomes
available, preferably by the
SNMH Community Cancer
Center, located in the
SNMH Outpatient Center,
Building 3.
Appointments are
required and can be made
by calling 530-274-6848.

fill the hospital. Recently,
the Yuba Spirit Threshold
Singers began coming to
SNMH to sing to patients.
There are more than 200
threshold choirs around the
world, all sharing the gift of
music for those in need, at
no charge.
The choir offers small
groups of singers who
quietly sing to people at a
“threshold” of life – either
recovering from illness,
nearing the end of life or in
grief.
Seeman says staff and
volunteers throughout the
hospital look for patients
who may benefit from a visit
from the singers.
“Sometimes a patient may
be agitated, or the family
may be looking for a way to
help reduce stress or fear
for the patient,” Seeman
explains. “We call the
singers and they gather a
few members and come
to the bedside and sing.
Sometimes its just for a few
minutes, sometimes its 20
end of October.
The AAP recommends
the injectable flu vaccine
as the primary choice for
children because it has
provided the most consis-
tent protection against all
strains of the flu virus in
recent years.
New this year, the AAP
says children 6 months
through 8 years of age need
two doses of the vaccine if
it is the first time they are
being vaccinated against
influenza.
Children 9 years and
older only need one dose,
regardless of their vaccina-
tion history.
For more information
on when this year’s vaccine
will be available, contact
your doctor.
The physicians and staff
of the SNMH Community
Cancer Center are dedicat-
ed to providing screening
opportunities to the
community and remind
men that early detection
can have a big impact on
the type and the intensity
of treatment required for
prostate cancer.

HEALTHY TUESDAY
Exhaustion and the
eclipse wormhole
B
y the time you read
this we will have ex-
ited an unprecedent-
ed power-packed
three month eclipse wormhole.
Eclipse wormholes are en-
ergetic passages that jump us
from an old reality, depositing
us in a whole new timeline.
Anybody remember the child’s
game Chutes and Ladders? It is
like landing on the bottom of a
ladder and getting jumped way
ahead in the game.
While this is great fun in the
game, in life it often comes
with an energetic price tag.
The price many of us will pay is
exhaustion and inner and outer
upheaval.
These intense energies are
designed to push to the surface
anything that still remains in
the bunker of ego conscious-
ness. So it may feel like we got
run over by a bus and putting
one foot in front of the other is
a heroic task. No worries.
So many I speak with think
there is something physically
wrong with them, wondering
about hormones or something
else going haywire in the body.
Obviously, check with a doctor
when it appears serious but
the sleepless nights, waking
at dawn, getting nine hours of
sleep and still feeling pro-
found exhaustion are all part
of the wormhole designed
to jet propel us forward in
consciousness.
The new moon of Sept. 9 was
the official end of this passage
but things may still be rocking
and rolling as we adapt to the
new stratosphere.
It is now vital that we find
a way to reclaim our trust
and true identity in order to
weather these energetic storms.
While ultimately we are not
our bodies, our bodies are an
essential part of the wake up
process. We have to feel it to
heal it.
Sounds simple yet many
mightily resist what is, willing
to use anything to distract
them from witnessing any and
all trauma stored in cellular
memory. This no longer flies.
DIVE IN TO GET OUT
We must be willing to dive
into our physical sensations
of tension in the spine, a
heart feeling like it is deeply
squeezed, a head crushed by
a band of tension. This is the
path to clearing the toxic debris
of previous suffering and heart-
break and may require getting
support.
Many will powerfully resist
this process. Yet, this is no
longer optional for those that
want to exit the suffering that
invariably results from remain-
ing entrenched in the bowels of
the ego thought system.
We also use whatever prac-
tice works for us to remember
who we are. This varies for
each of us. It may be prayer,
meditation, yoga, sacred texts
like the Bible or “A Course in

Tony Finau added to
US Ryder Cup team
as captain’s pick
Tony Finau has been
named to the Ryder Cup
team, the final pick by U.S.
captain Jim Furyk.
Finau joins Bryson
DeChambeau, Phil
Mickelson and Tiger
Woods as Furyk’s four
wild-card selections.
Finau has 11 top-10s this
season, including three in
majors.
His appeal is that he
makes a lot of birdies,
which is critical in match
play. He was paired with
Furyk the first two days at
the PGA Championship,
and struggled in the
opening round before he
tied a championship re-
cord by making 10 birdies
in the second round.
The Ryder Cup team
includes three rookies
(Finau, DeChambeau and
Justin Thomas) and nine
major champions.
The matches are Sept.
28-30 outside Paris.
Sigi Schmid steps
down as coach of
the LA Galaxy
Sigi Schmid, the win-
ningest coach in Major
League Soccer history
who led the LA Galaxy
to the first of the fran-
chise’s five MLS Cup titles,
stepped down Monday.
The Galaxy said
Schmid’s resignation was
effective immediately.
Dominic Kinnear was
named the interim head
coach for the remainder
of the season.
Schmid steps away from
coaching with 266 wins
in the regular season and
the postseason com-
bined. He won MLS Cup
titles with the Galaxy in
2002 and the Columbus
Crew in 2008. Schmid
also coached the Seattle
Sounders.
He was in his second
stint with the Galaxy,
having returned after
Curt Onalfo was fired last
summer.
Djokovic up to No. 3,
Osaka at No. 7 after
US Open titles
Novak Djokovic’s U.S.
Open title has moved him
up three spots to No. 3 in
the ATP rankings, behind
Rafael Nadal and Roger
Federer, making the Big 3
the top three for the first
time in 3½ years.
Naomi Osaka jumped
12 places to a career-high
No. 7 in the WTA on
Monday thanks to her
first Grand Slam title.
The runner-up, Serena
Williams, is back in the
top 20 at No. 16, after
being No. 26 before the
U.S. Open.
Djokovic’s rises from
No. 6 after claiming his
14th major champion-
ship which continued his
steady progress in recent
months.
Governing body
defends umpire after
Serena Williams flap
The International Tennis
Federation is defending
the chair umpire who
gave Serena Williams
three code violations
during the U.S. Open
final, saying his “decisions
were in accordance with
the relevant rules.”
Williams was cited by
Carlos Ramos three times
Saturday during her 6-2,
6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka:
for getting coaching
signals; for breaking her
racket, which cost her
a point; and for calling
Ramos a thief, which cost
her a game.
On Sunday, the tour-
nament referee docked
Williams $10,000 for “ver-
bal abuse” of the chair
umpire, $4,000 for being
warned for coaching and
$3,000 for breaking her
racket.
