All Day Calaveras County Announces the Opening of Cooling Centers Thursday Through Saturday Ahead of Extreme
San Andreas, CA...Calaveras County Announces the Opening of Cooling Centers Thursday Through Saturday Ahead of Extreme Heat. The U.S. National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for much of the county Thursday through Saturday. Older adults, young children, and people with mental illness and chronic conditions are at highest risk of heat related illness and death. Each year about 600 people in the United States are killed by extreme heat.


Heat related illnesses, like heat stroke or heat exhaustion, happen when the body is not able to cool itself properly. When a person’s body temperature rises faster than it can cool itself by sweating, this can cause damage to the brain and other vital organs. Factors that might increase your risk of heat related illness include:
 Obesity
 Heart Disease
 Mental illness
 Poor circulation
 Fever
 Dehydration
 Sunburn
 Prescription drug use
 Alcohol use

Due to this dangerous heat, Calaveras County Health and Human Services Agency announces the opening of cooling centers countywide, Thursday through Saturday. Cooling Centers will be open June 17-19 from 11am-8pm. For assistance with transportation, call Calaveras Connect at (209) 754-4450. Cooling center locations include:

 Drink plenty of water
 Stay cool, stay indoors
 Wear light clothing and sunscreen when outdoors
 Plan outdoor activities for the cooler parts of the day
 Pace yourself
 Stay in touch with your family, friends, and neighbor’s, especially those with health conditions and the elderly
Calaveras Public Health urges people to continue to remain vigilant about the prevention of COVID-19 transmission during excessive heat. The best ways to avoid exposure to the virus are to:
 Maintain physical distancing, ideally at least 6 feet between individuals
 Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
 Wear a face covering over your nose and mouth when around others

All Day Come discover eye catching artistry at Volcano West Gallery!
Volcano, Ca...Three artists are exhibiting new works in June at Volcano West Gallery. Take a scenic drive to the small, historic town of Volcano in Amador County.


Featured artists are Lennie Honcoop, Ree McLaughlan Brown and Terri Patterson.
Lennie Honcoop has a background in fine arts. For many years she taught art at elementary and high school until an accident resulted in the loss of the fine motor skills in her hands. She established a business, Dutch Quilter, a reflection of having immigrated from the Netherlands. She traveled throughout the US exhibiting her quilt designs. Living in Pine Grove, Lennie turned to color pencil drawing wild animals, birds, pets, flowers, and historic buildings. She is showing originals and prints at Volcano West Gallery.
Ree McLaughlan Brown often paints on unexpected surfaces like granite, aluminum and mineral paper. Motion dominates her expressive art which dances with vivid color and uplifting emotion. Ree has a Bachelor of Art and MBA from CSUS. Living in rural Amador County, Ree works with unusual tools, such as metal implements, sandblaster, torch, air, irons and knives to move paint, wax and inks across surfaces. She even uses a tractor blade to create rugged edges of works on slabs of granite and marble.
African artisans use techniques that have been passed down through the generations to craft surprisingly beautiful beads from metal, glass, clay, and paper. Terri Patterson combines African beads with crystal, stones, and other beads to create a colorful and unique line of jewelry. Her jewelry selection features beads from Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana and Ethiopia.

Volcano West Gallery is located at 16105 Main Street in Volcano, next to the historic cobblestone outdoor amphitheater. The gallery is open 10-5 on Fridays and weekends in June.
