Amador County – The Mountain Ranch community and surrounding areas is planning a forum to discuss a rash of burglaries that has affected residents in the area in Calaveras County.

Mike Falvey of Mountain Ranch said it was the second meeting that has been scheduled to address the issue, with Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz, this time appearing with Calaveras District Attorney Barbara Yook. Falvey hoped Yook “will be able to tell us the crimes charged and the criminal disposition of any of the cases resulting from the rash of burglaries many of us have experienced in the last few months.”

The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, February 28 at Mountain Ranch Community Hall.

A representative from the Bureau of Land Management will also attend, and explain “the new fire suppression program which gives people the right to clear 200 feet onto adjoining BLM land for fire safety.” There will be forms to fill out if people are interested in participating.
