Credit Card # stolen twice in 6 months!!

My credit card number has been stolen twice in 6 months. The questions I ask myself: is it retail employees stealing numbers, is it online companies being compromised or acting as perpetrators, how many data-bases have been hacked?

Maybe these questions and this conversation can lead into a fair and actionable discussion of VS crime.

Lisa Mayo (of the Calaveras Visitors Bureau) and Lisa Boulton talk with Anne Forrest about Branding and Angels Camp. How Angels Camp markets their town.

Golf course decision in judge's hands

The upcoming Trinitas decision is expected soon. Is golfing agritourism? I'm not sure that Calaveras County farmers and ranchers are waiting for a judge to decide whether it is legal for them to build and operate golf courses. An ordinance passed in 2005 specifies certain uses that are acceptable for farm and ranch land such as horse stables. Supporters of the golf course claim that hitting a golf ball across land is much the same as riding a horse across land.
