Arnold, CA...The Ebbetts Pass Fire District (EPFD) Board of Directors is sponsoring “Measure A,” which is a special tax measure that will fund the continued operation of fire, ambulance and paramedic services to the Upper Highway 4 Corridor. The Fire District serves community members who live in the 225-square-mile District along Highway 4 between Forest Meadows and Bear Valley. The EPFD Board of Directors put forth Measure A to address a $400,000 budget deficit the District is currently facing. If Measure A does not pass, fire, ambulance and paramedic services will have to be cut starting July 1, 2019. Eligible voters will receive ballots in the mail in early April and those ballots must be mailed to the Calaveras County Elections Office by May 7, 2019. In order to pass, Measure A must receive a two-thirds majority, meaning 66.67% of voters must vote “Yes”.

Minors Involved in Major Injury Snowmobile Collision in Bear Valley
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/18/2019 09:29 AM
Bear Valley, CA....A 16 year old Manteca man was riding a 2004 Ski-Doo northbound on the groomed snow covered roadway of Fremont Road south of Quaking Aspen Road, at a high rate of speed. Due to his unsafe speed he was unable to maintain control of the snowmobile. The Ski-Doo veered to the right traveling onto the east shoulder and up a snow embankment, becoming airborne. It then landed upright and then became airborne a second time as it continued in a northerly direction and down a snow embankment. The Ski-Doo struck a tree while airborne and landed on its left side. All parties were ejected off the Vehicle.
