Consider watching a fireworks show in your community rather than creating your own display, but if you are going to use fireworks, please following these recommended tips from the National Council on Fireworks Safety...

How The Glass Buster Was Cured By The Glass Doctor ~ by Terry Grillo |

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/24/2014 08:21 AM

Volcano, CA...It began as a normal Saturday, with a few chores and projects - all quite pleasant - and quickly crashed into grief all around me. My wife asked me to hang a very old, hand-colored photograph of her grandparents. It is their wedding photo and dates from around the First World War, so it is probably a century old. Held in a lovely old frame, it’s covered with the kind of raised and curved glass popular in those days, but now found rarely and in antique shops. Joseph Kusic arrived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from his native Slovenia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the early years the 20th century. Three years later he sent for his intended after she told him that if he didn't get busy and do something about their relationship she was going to marry a fellow from the next village....
Mark Borchin, owner of the Glass Doctor in Jackson, Amador County, holds the restored glass with antique frame and photo that the author dropped right in front of his wife. The photo, frame and new glass, and the ham-fisted hanger survive, thanks to Mr. Borchin.

San Andreas, CA....At a special board meeting Thursday June 19, 2014, the Calaveras County Water District Board of Directors voted unanimously to continue its opposition to Senate Bill 1199, unless the bill is amended.
