Mokelumne Hill, CA...Mokelumne Hill resident Irene Perbal knows a thing or two about history, having lived through nearly 90 years of it so far; and a portion of it during one of humanity’s darkest periods. It was 1940s Amsterdam. You could trust no one. The city was full of those whose hearts were with the resistance, but also was crawling with Nazi collaborators. “Everyone knew that whoever helped a Jew would be treated like one,” Perbal said.

Sonora, CA...Tuolumne County has had confirmed cases of the deadly virus: distemper. Puppies and dogs most often become infected through airborne exposure (through sneezing or coughing) to the virus from an infected dog or wild animal.

Murphys, CA...As a resident on Sheep Ranch Rd in Murphys, I was hoping someone might have seen my sisters cat. His name is Fieyo. He is a short haired, orange / striped kitty with a white tummy and chest (see photos). He’s about a year old. He went missing around a week and a half ago, before the storm started. He’s a outside/inside cat. We used to go out in the morning, he’d stick around the top of our hill, and then he’d come back for food. It started raining, and he never came home. We’re hoping someone might have seen him or picked him up and got him out of the rain. We’ve looked on our property and no luck. I’m just trying to get the word out and hopefully find him for my sister. She really misses him.
