Mountain Ranch, CA… Here we go again. A new election with commercial cultivation is once again on the table. The growers are going to keep on with their argument that they are all about their community and that they are doing mankind a service by providing the miracle drug, marijuana. Their sacrifice is going to […]
Angels Camp, CA….Letter written by Tom Tryon to the Citizens of Calaveras County in the summer of 1985: In recent weeks I have been asked by many of my constituents to respond to statements I have made as a County Supervisor regarding the legalization of illicit drugs. Let me state emphatically I am not in […]
Angels Camp, CA…It is important to understand who we are dealing with when it comes to the marijuana industry. They are an all cash huge profit business with large amounts of money and will stop at nothing to get their way. They do not want the good citizens of Calaveras to have a chance to […]

Angels Camp, CA….After being elected to the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors I assumed office in January of 1985. A recall effort was initiated against me in the summer of 1985. The recall effort was launched due to my opposition to the “War on Drugs”, most particularly Marijuana. The issues of the summer of 1985 […]
Calaveras County, CA…“Tom’s World” is the 4th Congressional District of California stretching from Lake Tahoe in the North to Yosemite in the South, including most of the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It’s a reliably Red District where Donald Trump won 54% of all votes cast in 2016 and Tom won 63%. Tom won […]
Copperopolis, CA…It seems protective tariffs are great for getting votes but horrible for the economy and jobs, according to the famous economist Milton Friedman. Why is that? Most of western civilization holds the concept human beings have natural rights. This is also the bases of Common Law. In our country, we have a Constitution that […]
Arnold, CA…Thank you Merita, Barden and others for bringing Measure D forward. Both D and C may seem complicated. However when you boil this down it’s quite simple and does make good sense. This is written in order to give our County command, control and income over a defined land use, the cultivation of cannabis. […]
San Andreas, CA….We just endured a four-year drought that was so severe, scientists had to go back more than a thousand years in tree ring records to find its equal. While the 2012-2015 dry spell may have been interrupted by a near-average winter in 2015-2016, and some reservoir levels have increased significantly, that doesn’t mean […]
Copperopolis, CA…During this Presidential election process are we asking the right questions? One fundamental question could be: Should the US remain a free and independent Republic? If the answer is no, then all the discussion about the border has less meaning. Also, if the answer is no, discussion about the size and extent of our […]
Rancho Calaveras, CA…I have been presented with a Notice of Intent to Recall my seat as a Calaveras County Supervisor. This action is being brought by a small group of ‘elites’ that feel the ‘wants and wishes’ of a select few should outweigh the ‘needs and wishes’ of the many in Calaveras County. The basis […]
Angels Camp, CA…Commissioner Wooster’s comment is being taken out of context and misrepresented to the public. Mr. Wooster did not say “the term invasive species should include people from Mexico”. It is shameful that the media and the opposition are twisting his words to reflect a different meaning. I was at the March 3, Planning […]
Angels Camp, CA….We request the immediate removal of Commissioner Wooster from his position following his offensive racial remarks made to the public at the Planning Commission meeting on March 3rd. Although we were not present when the statements were made, as residents of this community we are affected by this atmosphere of racism and subsequent […]
San Andreas, CA…This is regarding the calls for ouster of Planning Commissioner Kelly Wooster. Poor choice of words, for sure. He should have said “Illegal immigrants” or “Mexican Cartels”,which I think he meant. He apologised. Nuf said. Any more attacks on him is really not only an attack on Mr. Wooster’s First Amendment Rights, but […]
San Andreas, CA…I would like to express my appreciation to Calaveras County Deputy District Attorney Jeff Stone for his courteous demeanor during the recent Kenfort Williams court case. Mr. Stone contacted me in advance to notify me that the case was coming back to court for trial. Mr. Stone took the time to discuss the […]
Sacramento, CA…California drivers are bearing the burden of the state’s transportation funding crisis, with the average driver spending more than $500 a year to repair the wear and tear on their vehicle caused by bad roads. Gas tax revenues currently fund most of the state’s road maintenance and repairs, but gas tax revenues are declining […]
Hollywood, CA…Does Star Wars really need a review? You’d be hard pressed to find a more multigenerational and beloved film franchise, and the new film—Episode VII to be precise—was guaranteed to be a massive hit no matter what, bound to succeed on its legacy alone. The Force Awakens is practically hardwired to tap into this […]

Mountain Ranch Ca. Out of ashes and the cold comes forth a group of Private Citizens working under the banner of “Mountain Ranch Community Relief Efforts” bringing together concerned Butte Fire Volunteers and the Victims themselves to open a tiny Over Night Weather Shelter in the Mountain Ranch Town Hall for the sole purpose of giving any Butte Fire […]
Mountain Ranch Ca Shelter Update 4:30am 11/25/2015 After 5 hours only of being opened the Red Cross has decided to close this shelter. The initial planning was faulty from the beginning. Once this storm front was known to come in the Red Cross should have had plans in place working with the Calaveras County OES […]

While surfing the vast world wide web today I happened upon this simple meme that really made me wonder why something needs to be fixed that was not broken to begin with.
Angels Camp, CA…The City of Angels Camp, Calaveras Council of Governments and the California Department of Transportation would like to announce the final public meeting for the State Route 4 and 49 Gateway Corridor Study in Angels Camp. The Study addresses access and circulation, growth and development, and coordination of growth improvements in the northwestern […]
Hollywood, CA…The Mission: Impossible series has always been represented by a lit fuse—first in the 1960s TV show, followed by its revival in the 80s, and continuing with the Tom Cruise film series that began in 1996. It’s a particularly apt symbol for this fifth installment, subtitled Rogue Nation, as one never knows what to […]
Angels Camp, CA…Ant-Man is the final film in the so-called “Phase 2” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Phase 3 will begin with Captain America: Civil War in just under a year), and it might be one of their riskiest undertakings so far. Having becoming accustomed to the spectacle of the Avengers battling to save the […]
Valley Springs, CA…My name is Valentino Passetti and my wife and I live here at 863 Paloma Road, Valley Springs, Ca. My wife and I have been attending the Valley Springs Public Utilities Department meetings lately because the VSPUD wants to relocate the sewage plant to a site two miles away from its current location, […]
Copperopolis, CA…As a kid, I was excited about the fire crackers, rockets and sparklers. We didn’t usually get to watch the big fireworks shows. I liked putting a cherry bomb under a tin can, shooting it 30 feet up in the air. Totally cool! Too bad my dad didn’t think so. After much reading I […]
