Northern California native and family stranded in Israel – The Israeli government formally declared war against Hamas after a surprise attack. The race is on for Americans trapped in the conflict to get out. An El Dorado County native is among those in Israel with his family trying to escape the violence. “I woke up to some sirens, but I thought it was an ambulance,” said Brad Waldow, a Shingle Springs native. “But then I kept listening and it did not sound like an ambulance at all. And then I started hearing the iron domes start shooting rockets down. That is when I grabbed my family, and we ran.” Michael Chiarello, Turlock native and Food Network star, dies at 61 – A noted and celebrated name in the culinary world, who was raised in California's Central Valley, passed away in Napa over the weekend.
