Mokelumne Hill, CA... My husband and I live in Mokelumne Hill, CA and own a small 5 acre farm called Angry Serb Farms. We have sheep, goats, turkeys, two sweet livestock guardian dogs and three hogs...two of which are very very pregnant. On Thursday, September 10th, we spent our 12 year anniversary being rescued by one of the most impressive, kind, gracious, strong and funny families (and friends) we have ever met. The Butte Fire broke out up the road from us Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, September 10th at 4 am, we put out a request for aid in evacuating our farm.

Vallecito, CA...Friends of Rosendo Rojas, the 24 year old Vallecito resident who is waging an heroic battle against a rare form of terminal brain cancer, are rallying behind him by organizing ways to raise funds to help meet the mounting costs that are not covered by insurance. The Bret Harte High School graduate was diagnosed in April 2013 with a rare form of terminal brain cancer, Grade III anaplastic ganglioglioma. Having already defied the odds by outliving his initial prognosis, Rojas recently had a three-hour seizure at Sonora Regional Hospital and was helicoptered to the intensive care unit at UC Davis Medical Center. While there an emergency MRI showed new tumor regrowth and a third emergency craniotomy was done on March 4th.

Mokelumne Hill, CA...A 26 year old man from Eldorado Hill was driving his 2000 Chevy in the Northbound traffic lane of State Route 49 at approximately 55MPH. A 45 year old Valley Springs woman was driving her 2009 Dodge in the Southbound traffic lane of State Route 49 at approximately 45MPH. P-1, due to his sleepy/fatigued state, allowed V-1 to travel to the left of the solid double yellow center line while attempting to negotiate a natural curve in the roadway to his right. P-2 observed V-1 drifting into her lane so she swerved to the right in the attempt to avoid the collision. V-1 then struck V-2. V-2 was then propelled into the steel guard rail located on the west road edge of SR49. After the collision, V-1 came to rest on its wheels facing in a Southerly direction blocking the Northbound traffic lane. V-2 came to rest on its wheels facing in a Southerly direction blocking the Southbound traffic lane. The roadway was closed for approximately 1 1/2 hours for removal of the vehicles...
