Angels Camp, CA...There’s a new insurance option in town – one with a face many in Calaveras County might find familiar. Jim Bailey, a resident of Murphys, California, has opened his new office at 465 S. Main St in Angels Camp. “When the previous company here made the decision to leave Angels Camp I decided to stay in Calaveras County. I am a member of this community, and everything it represents. So instead of leaving, I decided to start an office of my own and continue serving the people in Calaveras County in the best way I know how. I’m proud to be able to be here to help locals find the insurance coverage they need. It’s a community I know and one I look forward to continuing to help in any way I can.” – Jim Bailey, City Underwriting Agency with Jim Bailey

|
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/09/2018 06:48 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...Dear Calaveras County Board of Supervisors, Please seriously consider & question the proposed rewrite of county code Chapter 8.06 Property Maintenance & Code Enforcement, to be heard at your Board Meeting Tuesday. It sets off too many red flags. The public is legitimately upset & fearful about the expanded code enforcement powers, possibility of selective enforcement of county code, potential for abuse of power by county employees, likelihood of unknown & excessive fees and fines piling up for minor infractions and small unpermitted structures, lack of due process and threats to property rights in summary abatements and summary fines, and more.

|
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/06/2018 02:48 PM
|
Angels Camp, CA...July 6th, 1968 to July 6th, 2018! 50 year anniversary! My gosh, we did it! Vicki Hughes-McFall first started working with flowers shortly after graduating from Campbell High School in the summer of 1966. Ron McFall remembers that Vicki was very creative and had a natural eye for color, which she credits getting from her mother Iva Hughes. Ron and Vicki, who grew up as neighbors and became high school sweet hearts, were married in 1968 as Ron pursued his law enforcement career with the San Jose Police Department and Vicki continued working in the floral industry with larger floral shops in the San Jose area. Before too long, Vicki found herself regularly making floral arrangements for her church, as well as being asked by a number of friends and relatives to do their wedding flowers.
