Copperopolis, CA...THE MARKETS: What is traditionally Wall Street’s quietest month has been about as peaceful as a crowded five-o-clock flight to Las Vegas that’s serving up all-you-can-drink Red Bull. After closing below 10,000 on Thursday, the Dow dropped as low as 9,936 in early Friday trading before finally rallying 165 points (1.7%) to recapture the psychologically important 10,000 level and finally close at 10,150. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq likewise rose 1.7% for the day. In spite of Friday’s performance, each of the major indexes finished to the downside for the week – proof that the ongoing tug-of-war between strong corporate balance sheets and troubling economic indicators is still exerting an influence on the markets...

Angels Camp Business Association Weighs in on Visitors Center ~By Bob Menary |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/30/2010 12:24 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA...Dear Mayor Lynch and Council Members: I am writing on behalf of the Angels Camp Business Association Board of Directors and our eighty member businesses to urge the City Council to do everything in its power to keep the Calaveras Visitors Bureau’s Visitors Center in historic downtown Angels Camp. The Visitors Center serves as a magnet for visitors and residents alike. It attracts visitors to the county to stop at the rest area and to visit the Center’s shop. It expects nearly 13,000 visitors in the Center this year alone. Many of those visitors then take the time to walk up and down Main Street to shop, dine, view the historic buildings and read the Jumping Frog plaques. We believe that without the Center and its services, most of those visitors will not come into Angels Camp, much less stop to shop and dine...
