Jackson, CA...The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) recently completed a project to enhance pedestrian safety, mobility and accessibility on State Route 88 and Route 49 in the town of Jackson in Amador County. The project installed and upgraded curb ramps, sidewalks, and driveways, provided accessible asphalt concrete shoulders, as well as accessible pedestrian signals and push buttons that meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The project limits were Route 88 from Broadway to the Route 49 junction, and Route 49 from North Fork Jackson Creek to Peek Street. Work also was conducted on the South Fork Jackson Creek Bridge, Jackson Creek Bridge and North Fork Jackson Creek Bridge. Serafix Engineering Contractors of San Ramon started construction in February 2021 and completed the estimated $3.16 million project in July 2021. Caltrans wishes to thank the traveling public for its cooperation during construction and reminds motorists to please “Be Work Zone Alert.”

San Andreas, CA... Meet Victor, an adorable black and white tuxedo kitten named for the upside down “V” on his forehead. An older kitten, Victor is as sweet as they come and guaranteed to steal your heart. He adores absolutely everyone and follows visitors around his communal room like a puppy as if to say, “Take me! Take me!” He also has a very loud purr and a tiny meow which he seldom uses. Playful and active, Victor would likely fit into most any household where he can be showered with love and attention.

Murphys, CA… Black Sheep Winery arrived in Murphys with the 1984 harvest. From that first harvest we produced our 1984 Amador Zinfandel. The wine was styled in a big, bold way like nobody else could do. That’s what makes us Black Sheep; we’re different from the rest of the flock. We feature small batches of limited release wines handcrafted from high quality grapes grown in Calaveras and Amador Counties. We produce about 2,500 cases of wine per year, specializing in Zinfandels and Rhone varietals.
