Know that you are doing something good for yourself and your future, and keep at it....

San Andreas, CA...One of the first items on the agenda at yesterday's Supervisor Meeting was to approve the resolution to approve the San Andreas Recreation and Park District request to rename the San Andreas Community Park to Alex "JR" Quinones Community Ball Park.

This is the first time that the Board of Supervisors had been asked to rename a County owned facility.

Are You One of "These" People? We Sure Hope So! |

| Arnold, CA...Did you ask your parents “Why” so much they threatened you and you still asked anyway? Is “What Happened” a question you can always answer? Do you post so many news links on your Facebook timeline your friends would rather see a picture of your food? Has “Having to Know” chased friends away? Is “That's All There Is?” something you say after reading/watching/browsing every news outlet you can find? Have you actually cried watching the news when something horrific has happened in the world? Do you think news should be news and not left or right? Do you see every story through the lens of how will this affect your community and neighborhood? If most of the questions above felt too close to home then we need to talk, we need you and we are here to help!! |

Arnold, CA...As the starting point for the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway, Arnold might be considered to be the gateway to the Sierra (and the big trees for that matter), but this rustic mountain town (elevation 4,000-feet) is a vacation destination in and of itself. Sure, Arnold is a great base camp for everything from skiing at Bear Valley to wine tasting in Murphys, but for a true mountain escape away from the crowds, you can stay right in town. We guarantee you won’t be bored. Here are the top seven things to do in Arnold…
