"Burden Of Freedom" a Full Length, Feature Film on PTSD In Pre-Production Now ~By Rae Davis |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/07/2014 08:24 AM
|
Murphys, CA...There are 22 suicides per day by our military men and women suffering from PTSD. This statistic far outnumbers our military’s losses in combat each and every day. Even one suicide from what should and can be a treatable condition, is still one too many. Why is this happening and what can be done about it? My name is Rae Davis, and I am a producer with the film, Burden of Freedom. This dramatic, full length feature film follows two Iraq war veterans from the military, to civilian life, only to find that their lives have been changed forever by PTSD. Currently we are in the pre-production phase of our film, and are rapidly gaining the support of current military personnel and of our country’s veterans.

Sheriff’s Staff Obtaining A Police Dog ~ By Nick Baptista |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/05/2014 11:51 AM
|
Valley Springs, CA...After an absence of many years, “man’s best friend” is getting ready to return to the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office expects to welcome Buster, a 2-year-old shorthaired Dutch shepherd trained in detecting narcotics, in early summer. The department is acquiring the canine drug-hunter thanks to donations from the public raised through the Friends of the Calaveras Sheriff’s Office. The organization is about as old as Buster. It was formed in 2012 to provide financial assistance to the sheriff’s department and last month had its second annual crab feed, which raised just under $5,000. Providing the funding to obtain, train and equip a police dog for the department has been the Friends’ top priority. The sheriff’s office is receiving Buster from Weiss Hauzahn Canine Training out of Sonora for $500, a considerable discount. A dog of Buster’s ability normally would sell for $4,000, but the owners of Weiss Hauzahn Canine Training support law enforcement efforts and have provided dogs to the Angels Camp Police Department at similar discounts...

|
Sacramento, CA...Senator Ted Gaines today announced a lawsuit against Covered California and Executive Director Peter Lee, seeking to stop any future health insurance policy cancellations by the health care Exchange. In addition, the suit seeks to hold Covered California accountable for hundreds of millions in expenditures that have failed to increase the number of insured Californians. “More than 900,000 Californians have had their health insurance plans cancelled by Obamacare and Covered California.
