Lincoln residents question open gates after fire forces evacuations on Fourth of July
Residents in a Lincoln neighborhood are praising the quick response of firefighters after a brush fire forced them to evacuate on the Fourth of July, but many are now questioning why gates leading into the development were left open during the holiday. The fire broke out Friday evening near Bickford Ranch Road and Sierra College Boulevard, burning on the edge of a Toll Brothers development and prompting evacuations on Poppy Hill and Lyles Lane. "There's gates, so you wonder why they're not closed, especially on the Fourth of July when there's people up here, empty streets, empty lots," said one resident who was evacuated overnight. Some neighbors believe closing the gates could have prevented the fire from spreading so close to homes. "If the gates were closed, I don't think any of this would've happened," another resident said. Others described the tense moments when they rushed home and saw the flames. "We live right down the hill, and you could see the flames and smoke," said one evacuee. "The fire engines actually responded super quick." Cal Fire Placer County Fire Battalion Chief Jeremy Rochholz said steep slopes, grass, oak woodland, and downed limbs created dangerous conditions and helped the fire hold heat. "With the slope and the fuels here, we have some grass oak wood area and we have some downed limbs that adds a little more and really holds the heat," Rochholz explained. Despite those challenges, no homes or major structures were damaged. "We got lucky this time," Rochholz said. "No structures or nothing of major property value was damaged, which was beneficial. As you know, with the winter we had, it really shows at any point we can have devastating wildfires." While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, residents are calling for changes. CBS13 reached out to Toll Brothers for comment about why the gates were left open but did not hear back. A worker at the site said the gates typically remain open during the day for construction crews and that the development does have private security. Neighbors said they hope the developer makes changes to prevent a similar scare in the future.

At the Boston Athenaeum, botanical beauty of the photographic sort
Advertisement Edwin Hale Lincoln, "330. Trillium erectum, T. cernuum and Maianthemum canadense," 1910. Berkshire Athenaeum Lincoln's own vita wasn't brevis. Born in 1848, he served in the Civil War, as a drummer boy and surgeon's assistant, and died a year before the start of World War II. He didn't become a photographer until he was nearly 40. A series of commissions to photograph mansions in Newport, R.I., led to similar assignments in the Berkshires. He moved to there in 1893 and began specializing in wild flowers. He'd ultimately publish 'Wild Flowers of New England Photographed From Nature' in eight volumes, and 'Orchids of the North Eastern United States.' Lincoln used a view camera, which provides an impressive degree of detail. He then developed his glass-plate negatives as platinum prints, which are notorious for their difficulty getting right in the darkroom and prized for their lustrous beauty when successfully printed. Advertisement Edwin Hale Lincoln, "109. Lilium canadense, meadow, or wild yellow lily," 1905. Lenox Library Association, The respect Lincoln accorded his subject matter is evident in the images and extended beyond his studio. He would search woods and meadows for suitable specimens, uproot the plants, take them back to be photographed, then replant them in their original setting. If asked, he would decline to say where he'd found his specimens, so as to protect them. The Athenaeum shows its own respect for these subjects. Wall labels note the current conservation status in Massachusetts of flowers Lincoln photographed. It comes as no surprise that wild flowers are faring even worse with climate change than humans are. Noting that status gives an added force to something Lincoln said in 1916: 'There is no record so true as the good photographic study; as we see the conditions of plant life eternally changing everywhere, the value of these permanent authentic records to future generations cannot be overestimated.' 'Permanent authentic records': Unless a photograph is tied to an event, it's rarely thought of as documentation. Such documentation can be personal: a wedding, a graduation. It can be public: a political speech, a military battle. But botanical? As practiced by Lincoln, definitely so. Documentation was what Lincoln was very consciously doing. That made his work even more of a challenge than a botanical illustrator's. An illustrator can create a generic view, taking details from however many specific examples might be useful. The innate specificity of photography meant that Lincoln could use just one example; and that example, being both real and unique, couldn't be altered to create something idealized or generic. Lincoln once described himself as 'a pretty good photographer but a poor botanist.' A layman can't judge Lincoln's botanical abilities, but anyone looking at these images can see how modest he was being about his artistry. Advertisement Lindsey Beal and May Babcock, "Flax," 2024. Lindsey Beal and Mary Babcock Also at the Athenaeum is a small show that quite winningly complements the Hale exhibition. 'A Living Archive' consists of eight photographic images of botanical subjects by Lindsey Beal and May Babcock. The unusualness of those images makes 'photographic images' a more appropriate term, perhaps, than 'photographs. 'Archive' consists of one digital print and several anthotypes and In appearance, these anthotypes and plantistypes could be distant kin to Color Field paintings: delicate, beguiling, slightly otherworldly. That otherworldliness is paradoxical, though, since the materials employed in their making make them more naturally of this world than any 'regular' photograph. Lincoln aimed for documentation. So do Beal and Babcock, hence the title 'A Living Archive.' They also achieve something else, something far rarer: documentation that doubles as emanation.

Juneteenth and the Power of an ‘Ink and Paper Proclamation'
Juneteenth joined Independence Day as a federal holiday in 2021, celebrating the day the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the outer reaches of rebel-held territory. Critics of Lincoln's proclamation—now as then—say it was ineffective because it took so long to be enforced. Yet Frederick Douglass, who devoted his life to freedom for black Americans, understood that paper declarations sowed the seeds of a more perfect union. On June 19, 1865, Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger declared at Galveston, Texas, that 'all slaves are free' by virtue of Lincoln's edict dated Jan. 1, 1863. It took more than two years to make the promise of freedom a reality.
