Calaveras Coins Once Again Serves Community
How do you celebrate the legacy of a man who was part of Mother Lode
history and Mother Lode history was part of him? This was the question that faced Calaveras
Coins and Collectibles matriarch Merinna May-Wesely after the sudden passing of
her beloved husband Howard Wesely in January.
Nearly 20 years after the opening of internationally recognized coin
shop at its location on the historic end of Angels Camp the future of the
business was uncertain. However the
outpouring of community support was a motivating factor in the decision for
Merinna and her son Scott to continue the family run business that has been a
mainstay in the historic district of the city of Angels. A common statement among fellow merchants
was that “Howard helped keep everyone
honest.”
With amazing fortitude they soon turned the grief of their loss into the
celebration of the life in memory of the man who served his community and
neighbors with integrity, honesty and knowledge for over two decades. Within two months the shop was open once
again for business. “The mentality of
the whole team here at Calaveras Coins is to provide unsurpassed customer service
and education to both our loyal clientele and new ones to empower them to make
good solid decisions whether buying or selling,” states Scott.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Alive and Well in Calaveras County
What do you get when you combine interior decorating skills with contracting skills with love of parenting? In Calaveras County you get the new kids indoor activity and adventure park - Barrel of Monkeez.
Owners and creators Matthew and Jennifer Iannarelli have thrown their heart, sweat and dreams into the creation of the soon-to-be-opening Barrel of Monkeez in Frogtown. Jennifer with a background in interior design and Matthew with a background in construction realized after having their first "monkey" Ayden three years ago that they knew their lives would include some sort of job that revolved around parenting. Quickly discarding daycare and preschool type ventures, the couple, whose son is now three, realized that there is little to no entertainment arenas for children in the foothills. With the seed planted and quickly taking root the couple - trying to keep the adventure in Calaveras County - began looking for facilities large enough to house their grand dream.

Governor Brown Issues Legislative Update
Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced that he has signed the following bills:
Noise Ordinance Passes BOS 5-0
Weighing in at the 9-11-12 BOS meeting regarding the noise ordinance Lt Seoul from the Sheriff Department made the statement that there could be a reduction in calls due to the possibility of returning to the same call over and over again with the implementation of a noise ordinance.
Spellman took the floor and stated, "You can't legislate respect, you just can't." He continued, we have all "thought of all the possible implications this can have the people who would enjoy peace and who would suffer by this decision... I propose to the Board that we accept as written" the ordinance "with the caveat for an exemption for private parties that do not require a conditional or administrative use permit. We need to focus...we need to distill it a little further, if you are not charging money it is not a for profit event, you should be exempt... there are people who have abused the goodwill and the neighborly sentiments."
Steve Wilensky, "If this is a distilling process we may be over 500 proof by now. We don't think its a great idea to enforce a regulatory hell over the citizens of the county. We have a lack of mediation skills or services... Recently there has been a callus disregard for people in this area, this can not be solved by a permitting process...no more than ten to fifteen people have found themselves to be so important in their sense of freedoms so completing detached from the rights of their neighbors that we have now come to this moment...the goal is to leverage the mediation process..."
Three ammendments:
souund from gunfirirng occuring during hunting
sound from gunfire due to target shooting
sound regulated by the California vehicle code
Passes 5-0

(Reprint) Letter to the Editor re: Fire Tax Protest
Dear Editor,
The
Calaveras County Taxpayers Association urges taxpayers to take action
on the "Fire Tax"by using the protest procedure developed by the Howard
Jarvis Taxpayers Association which is also suing the state to overturn
this tax. Action suggested is challenging the tax and requesting a
refund.
The Fire Tax Protest site (FireTaxProtest.org)
is a one-stop resource for taxpayers who wish to protest the new fire
tax, learn more information about their rights, or join a class action
lawsuit to overturn what HJTA believes to be an unlawful tax.
”The
fire tax is in direct violation of Prop. 13, and it represents an
additional burden on rural homeowners who are already suffering in this
economy,” said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association. “This new tax ... represents the worst of Sacramento --
taking more money from hardworking people for a program they were
already paying for, to cover the politicians' budget gap. Today we
(HJTA) are offering a new tool for homeowners to protest this new tax.”
The
Jarvis group, supported by the Calaveras County Taxpayer Association,
is preparing to challenge the tax constitutionally in court on the
grounds it should have been subject to the two-thirds vote requirement
in the Legislature.
Although
taxpayers must pay the bill, the HJTA site shows how to protest the fee
in order to be eligible for a refund. There they can sign up for free
email bulletins that will keep them informed of the progress of the
taxpayers' suit against the state of California. “It is our goal to help
taxpayers get relief,” added Coupal. “We are committed to fighting
these illegal taxes to ensure taxpayers have their day in court.”

Governor Brown Signs Bipartisan Pension Reform Bill
9-12-12 Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed sweeping bipartisan pension
reform legislation that saves billions of taxpayer dollars by capping
benefits, increasing the retirement age, stopping abusive practices and
requiring state employees to pay at least half of their pension costs.
“This is the biggest rollback to public pension benefits in the history of California pensions,” said Governor Brown. “We’re lowering benefits to what they were before I was Governor the first time and reducing costs by up to $55 billion in PERS and billions more in other local pension systems. Under the new rules, employers and employees alike are going to contribute their fair share of the costs, resulting in a more sustainable system.”

New Melones Fishing Report from Glory Hole Sports
Water Conditions: New Melones Lake is currently holding 1,538,679 acre-feet
of water. The lake level dropped two more feet this week and is
currently at 1007 ft. above sea level and 81 ft. from full. Water
temperature has cooled a bit a is in the mid to upper 70's. Lake is
stained, with mud lines forming around the shore on windy days, and days
with a lot of boat traffic. Good news, the lower ramp on Glory Hole
Point is open, which makes for an easy walk.
Trout: Great! We had yet another week of very impressive trout fishing, including a NEW LAKE RECORD rainbow trout!
Angler
John Gray was fishing on the "Take it to the Limit Guide Service" boat
with guide Gary Burns, when he hooked into this massive 8-pound 2-ounce
rainbow on a silver/blue Excel spoon while trolling the main lake. This
lunker wins The Glory Hole Sports Big Fish of the Week Contest.
Josh Pfeiffer carried Copper away
With his oh-so-smooth signature melodious voice Josh Pfeiffer - the American Crooner - crooned his way into many hearts at the Town Square concert on 9-8-12.
Fighting a head cold and the beginnings of a chest cold, Pfeiffer delivered a concert that was at the same time moving and exhilarating. While many articles written have compared Pfeiffer to Buble or Sinatra, Pfeiffer most definitely has his own style and adds his own edge to the songs we know and love as well as those songs written by Pfeiffer himself.
The band, with its array of strings, brass, keys and more, was nothing short of spectacular.
One comment that I heard repeated from the audience was the desire to see Pfeiffer perform in a more intimate setting. With this in mind the Copper Gazette will follow up on Pfeiffer and his upcoming events.

START SMART
San Andreas, CA – The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collisions, (According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and the CHP’s goal is to reduce the death rate among teenagers as the result of these collisions.
In order to
address this alarming trend, the CHP

Start Smart is aimed at helping newly licensed and future licensed
teenage drivers understand the critical responsibilities of driving and to
understand that accidents do happen, but collisions are 100 percent

The primary
objective of Start Smart is to provide teens and their parent/guardians with an
interactive safe driving awareness class which will illustrate how poor choices
behind the wheel of a car can affect the lives of numerous people.

Its that time of year - Tarantula time!
Autumn is commonly reffered to as the mating season for tarantula's as male tarantula's can wander tens of miles in search of a mate. Once a suitable mate has been found he must engage his mating hooks to restrain the fangs of the female. After mating is complete he releases his mating hooks and hopes to make a quick get-away.
Tarantulas are burrowers that live in burrows in the ground up to 3 1/2 feet deep, allowing them protection from the elements hence allowing them to live in many different climates. They mainly feed at night and gather water from early morning dew.
Despite their somewhat threatening appearance no tarantula has been known to have a bite that is deadly to humans.
