Big Trees, CA...More than just a pretty landscape, Calaveras Big Trees State Park has long been a place where people can learn about the wonders of our natural environment. It was a perfect fit, therefore, to bring the California Naturalist Program to Big Trees. During the month of June 2017, 25 students completed the California Naturalist Course at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. These industrious students completed 40 hours of class, immersing themselves in the geology, hydrology, wildlife, forests, climate, and ecology of California, with a focus on the Sierra Nevada. They deepened their learning with readings, hands-on activities and field trips throughout the park.

Bret Harte Board Honors Parent & Community Volunteers |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/21/2017 06:51 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA...On Monday, June 19, Bret Harte Union High School District Governing Board member Gail Bunge, presented the tenth annual Parent/Community Volunteer Awards at the district board meeting. This year's winners were Shawn Westberg of Copperopolis and Joan and George Loomis of Angels Camp. Westberg was honored for his years of work with FFA and the Bret Harte football teams. He also serves on the Junior Livestock Fair Board. Along with his wife and son, Westberg breeds show pigs and helps the students learn how to raise and care for the animals. He is noted for his strong sense of integrity and values and has been an inspiration for many of the students. Although the Loomis' have been honored many times in Calaveras County for their generosity, community commitment, and having between 1200 and 1300 foster children come through their home, this was their first award from Bret Harte. They have had their seven children go through BH, and currently have a daughter and granddaughter at the school. They give their time to help with the drama program, Academic Decathalon, and the annual veterans' presentation. Mrs. Loomis is known for her delicious cookies which she bakes in her licensed kitchen and sells at BH meets, giving profits to student groups.

Freedom From Smoking Class Begins in July |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/19/2017 11:02 AM
|
Sonora, CA...Sonora Regional Medical Center is offering the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking® course beginning July 11. Classes will meet at Pulmonary Rehabilitation, located at 19747 Greenley Road, each Tuesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for seven weeks. Freedom From Smoking provides a supportive group environment where adults work through the quitting process together with guidance from a respiratory therapist. According to the American Lung Association, “Research has proven that the more time a smoker spends in a supportive situation, the more likely he or she is to succeed. People who use [Freedom From Smoking] are six times more likely to be smoke-free one year later than those who quit on their own.”
