Angels Camp, CA...Residents of Calaveras County may be surprised to learn that Albert Michelson, the first American scientist awarded the Nobel Prize, lived in Murphys, CA as a child. A plaque marks the location of his childhood home on Main Street. This piece of local folklore continues to be an inspiration for many. A small group of individuals have recently formed a new advisory council to encourage increased participation in county level STEM activities such as the Calaveras County Science Fair. They have raised money and dedicated their time to creating prizes for science fair project category winners.

Arnold, CA...All of us have heard the expression of "Follow the Money". Why haven't we heard about this during the Ukraine crisis? My gut and back of an envelop calculations lead me to believe that all of this Ukraine business has just been a ruse to drive up oil prices.
