Calaveras & Western Alpine Counties, CA...The great weather and 3 Day weekend brought the visitors to our area in droves.

The the outdoor recreation venues of the Ebbetts Pass Corridor were definitely firing on all cylinders last weekend. It was more than just snow play that drew them. Murphys and the surrounding wine region was teeming with activity as well. We spoke with several wineries who said that it was the busiest President's Day Weekend they had ever had....

New Viticulture Event in Calaveras County! |
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 02/22/2008 12:17 PM
|
Murphy, CA...The Calaveras Winegrape Alliance (CWA) is delighted to announce an exciting new event designed to highlight the viticulture industry in Calaveras County and cater to the needs of small, micro vineyards and wineries! Why use a 747 when a Cessna is what you need! We are not a wine ‘country’ (you know who is). We are villages of wineries and vineyards and our size speaks volumes as to what our tailor-made needs are and what we can produce! We know there are others who share this wonderful dilemma, so….

The !@#$% May Hit The Cyclone...and That's A Good Thing~By John Hamilton |

Bear Valley, CA...We had the chance to stop by the Bear Valley Water District Board meeting on Monday where they discussed an alternative to the proposed $12,000,000 conventional treatment plant. Partners from Clean Filtration Technologies gave a presentation on using a cyclonic filtration system and small micron filters instead of the traditional waste treatment facilities. One of the partners in the company is Bear Valley homeowner John Mallard. One of the added benefits of using a system like this is that it may be possible to get the output to "Title 22" standards. This level is needed to for treated water to be sprayed on Ball Fields, Parks, Golf Courses or even Snow Making. One option is for these systems to be built into standard shipping containers.
