Leah & Mia to Could be Your Calaveras County Animal Services Pets of the Week |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/12/2020 04:16 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...Meet Leah - a sweet, shorthaired torbie (tortoise shell tabby) with enormous green eyes. At only a year old, this sweet, gentle girl became a teen mom. Leah has been a wonderful mother, despite her young age and the toll nursing can take. Her kittens are now weaned and it’s time for Leah to become someone’s special kitty. Calm and quiet, she is on the reserved side and tends to wait for a human to approach and make the first move – after which she thoroughly enjoys being petted and gives affection in return. And should you be looking for a special pair of kitties, Leah’s sister Mia, impound no. A051413, is available too.

As Calaveras County Health Department signed off on meeting the Country Variance Requirements for containment of Covid-19, we are able to move forward with reopening.

We appreciate your patience as we work to slowly reopen and hope that you will continue to checkout our Tasting Room Directory as time goes and and safety protocols change.

Black High School Attainment Nearly on Par With National Average |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/10/2020 01:02 PM
|
About 90% of the U.S. population has graduated high school, a dramatic improvement in educational attainment that began when compulsory education was adopted by every state a century ago. The latest numbers form the Census Dept show 88% of Blacks Have a High School Diploma, 26% a Bachelor’s Degree. The most striking social shift is the shrinking of the high school attainment gap between Blacks and the national average.
