All Day Columbia College Presents Art Exhibition Extended Through November 18th
Columbia, CA...“Pain and Beyond” – a collection of oil and mixed media paintings, completed between 2011 – 2018 by Columbia College Art Professor, Li Ching Accurso, is now on display through October 18th, in the Columbia College Manzanita Building Rotunda (11600 Columbia College Drive, Sonora). The upper level of the Manzanita Building is open to the public Monday – Friday from 8am to 5pm. During the period Li Ching worked on these pieces, she was experimenting with materials combined with oil, such as glitter, confetti, and fabric.


The ceramics that are on display were produced between 1996 – 2009, when Li Ching was continually discovering new expressive possibilities with clay.

Li Ching began painting small watercolors in February, 2022, as a convenient medium to travel with, and a discipline for painting from observation.

“In all my work, I want to express strong emotions of joy, color, hope, and enthusiasm,” Li Ching says.
A Taiwanese-American woman artist, Li Ching Accurso has served as a full-time member of the art faculty at Columbia College since 1995. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from UC Berkeley in Painting and was a Fulbright scholar.
“This is a beautiful and impressive collection of work, said Columbia College President Lena Tran. We invite the wider community to come and enjoy this exhibition.”

For information on the artwork, contact Li Ching Accurso at 209-588-1530 or accursol@yosemite.edu. Paintings not included in this exhibition are available for viewing and purchase. Instagram: lichingaccurso, Facebook, or lichingaccurso.weebly.com.

All Day Prescribed Burn Operations to Begin Near Dorrington
Dorrington, CA...Fire personnel with the Stanislaus National Forest’s Calaveras Ranger District will conduct prescribed burn operations near Dorrington. Ignition of the prescribed burn is expected to begin the first week of November and will continue up to seven days as long as conditions allow. Burning is contingent on weather, fuel moisture, and air quality. All burning is monitored and conducted in accordance with state and county air quality guidelines. And closely coordinated with local county air quality control districts.


Characterized as an understory burn - a prescribed fire ignited under the forest canopy that focuses on the consumption of surface fuels but not the overstory vegetation - prescribed low-intensity fires enhances wildlife habitat, protects and maintains water quality and soil productivity, improves forest ecosystem health, and reduces the threat of uncontrolled conflagrations.

Crews hope to treat up to 33 acres with low-intensity fire. Daily area burnt will vary based on environmental conditions and smoke production. Crews on hand will consist of three engines, two hand crews, 1 water tender, one patrol unit, and one dozer in addition to various overhead personnel.

The Sierra Nevada is a fire dependent ecosystem, where fire is a critical part of the natural forest process and helps to maintain resilient forests.

Smoke may be visible from Hwy. 4. Fire managers are working closely with local air districts and the California Air Resources Board to Mitigate the effects of smoke on the public.

Please do not report as a wildland fire.
