|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/17/2020 05:16 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...On Friday, April 17, 2020, Calaveras Public Health confirmed an additional case of COVID-19 in Calaveras County. This case is an older adult female from West Point. The individual is linked to a case already known to Calaveras Public Health. “This newest case is in a household contact to a known case of COVID-19. Transmission within a household setting is not uncommon, and does not represent community transmission of disease within the wider West Point area. We ask that the people in Calaveras County continue to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 into our communities,” said Dean Kelaita, MD, Calaveras County Health Officer. “If we remain committed to the actions that keep us healthy, that will help us block the transmission of COVID-19 and get through this unprecedented time.”

Sender's Market's Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through April 21st |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/16/2020 08:28 PM

Mountain Ranch, CA...In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we're still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you've got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered.
