Presidential Proclamation for Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/19/2020 02:15 PM
Washington, DC...On August 28, 1963, nearly a quarter of a million people gathered in the August heat on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to hear the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., speak. People traveled to our Nation’s Capital from places as far away as Atlanta and Los Angeles to witness one of the defining moments in American history. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King articulated the founding dream of America, the vision of our Founders for all Americans to live as “an heir of the legacy of dignity and worth.” Today, we pause to honor the incredible life and accomplishments of Dr. King, who helped shape the Civil Rights Movement, gave hope to millions experiencing discrimination, and whose enduring memory inspires us to pursue a more just and equal society.

Posted by: thepinetree on 01/16/2020 10:29 AM
San Andreas, CA...Winter is upon us and Calaveras County’s projects to eliminate dead trees that are hazardous to County infrastructure will be affected by wet weather and snow cover. Project 25, located between Arnold and Murphys is set to begin on January 13 and affected property owners have been notified. There may be delays at higher elevations if weather prevents safe operations. Project 26 located between Skyhigh Ranch and the County line is on hold until the spring due to snow cover and inaccessibility. Two additional projects located in the West Point-Wilseyville-Railroad Flat area (Projects 9 and 27) have been awarded and will begin in late January. Although it is hoped that operations on those projects can proceed uninterrupted, they also may be affected by winter weather. Property owners who are in any of these projects should feel free to contact the Tree Mortality Program Manager, Dr. Richard Harris, if they have any questions about scheduling. He can be reached at (707) 685-5508 or rrharrisconsulting@gmail.com.
