San Andreas, CA...Law Enforcement officials with the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) have released causes on three fires that occurred over the last week.

The Oak Fire on Pool Station Road near Copperopolis, which burned 88 acres and destroyed one structure, was caused by a grinding operation. The Rawhide fire on Rawhide Road near Jamestown, which burned one acre, was also caused by a grinding operation. These metal-on-metal activities produced a large amount of sparks that landed in dry vegetation and started these three fires....

Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 06/26/2014 10:40 PM

San Andreas, CA -- The Calaveras Community Foundation, through its Aging in Place Seniors Initiative, has awarded Habitat for Humanity Calaveras a grant for $6000, to aid senior homeowners with critical health and safety home repairs. The funding will be used for the costs of materials and professional subcontractors. According to Frank Meyer, Administrative Manager of Habitat for Humanity, “many seniors do not have the financial resources or the physical ability to tackle home repairs. Habitat will oversee each project and provide volunteer labor where possible. It’s a win-win for the community.” Typical projects address interior and exterior work such as window replacement, siding and trim repair or replacement, roof repair or replacement, porch or wheelchair ramp construction, limited repair or improvement of house systems (heating, electrical, plumbing, etc.), floor and wall repair/replacement and foundation repair...

How The Glass Buster Was Cured By The Glass Doctor ~ by Terry Grillo |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/24/2014 08:21 AM
|
Volcano, CA...It began as a normal Saturday, with a few chores and projects - all quite pleasant - and quickly crashed into grief all around me. My wife asked me to hang a very old, hand-colored photograph of her grandparents. It is their wedding photo and dates from around the First World War, so it is probably a century old. Held in a lovely old frame, it’s covered with the kind of raised and curved glass popular in those days, but now found rarely and in antique shops. Joseph Kusic arrived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from his native Slovenia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the early years the 20th century. Three years later he sent for his intended after she told him that if he didn't get busy and do something about their relationship she was going to marry a fellow from the next village....
Mark Borchin, owner of the Glass Doctor in Jackson, Amador County, holds the restored glass with antique frame and photo that the author dropped right in front of his wife. The photo, frame and new glass, and the ham-fisted hanger survive, thanks to Mr. Borchin.
