Election 2014...From Spring Til' Fall It Was A Friends & Frenemies Road Show

Posted by: thepinetree on 11/05/2014 09:05 AM

Arnold, CA...As we say goodbye (Thankfully) to the election season of 2014 we thought we would post a few photos from some events held all over the county as a look back. Some of these had not made their way to the site yet. We also would like to thank all who threw their hat in the arena to strive for or get re-elected to public office. It is easy to throw stones from the sidelines but all of the contestants had the stones to actually join the fray. Thank You to all!! To those that came up short in the vote count the timeless quote from Theodore Roosevelt is right on the mark. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

COUNTING THE DAYS AND HOURS Daylight Saving Time in California ~ By Bob Mulvany

Posted by: thepinetree on 10/28/2014 07:30 AM

Calaveras County, CA...We will “fall back” from daylight saving time on November 2. Whew! That is only 49 days before the Winter Solstice. Then on the second Sunday of March 2015 we “spring forward” again. This happens in most states with Arizona being one of the few exceptions. Daylight Saving Time is not entirely popular and there are some drawbacks. For example, it has been found that accidents of all types increase on days following the time change in March. This probably results from sleep deprivation.

Decoding Prop 47, “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act” ~ By Barbara M. Yook, District Attorney

Posted by: thepinetree on 10/23/2014 01:56 PM

San Andreas, CA....Prop 47 reduces some felonies to misdemeanors but assures us the public will remain safe because no dangerous offenders will benefit. Once the clever language of Prop 47 is decoded however, the impacts of Prop 47 are opposite its assurance and title. Domestic violence, child abuse, stalking, involuntary manslaughter, and resisting an officer causing death are already considered “non-serious” and “non-violent” crimes under the law. Residential burglary, carjacking, robbery, and arson are considered “serious” or “violent” crimes under the law and these are commonly called “strikes”. Under Prop 47, none of the above crimes will be considered a “danger” to public safety....
