Hopeful Henry: Be a responsible pet owner
Submitted by paula on Mon, 02/15/2016 - 10:09pm
Ask Henry:
It’s Responsible Pet Owners Month so I wanted to share my top ten things you need to do to be a responsible pet owner.
1) Being a responsible pet owner starts before you even get a pet. Make sure you pick a breed that fits with your lifestyle. Do you live in an apartment? If so I wouldn’t rush out and get a Great Dane. Always consider adopting from a shelter, there are so many animals looking for their forever homes. If you must go with a breeder make sure they are reputable!

Outdoors with Don Q: Head to the Sierra for fun, fish and to stay cool
Submitted by Editor on Thu, 08/09/2012 - 5:36am
It’s that time of the year again. This is my annual reminder that if you’re someone like me, summer’s sweltering heat is not much fun. I do not like the summer months.
I am an outdoors person who dearly loves the cold, frost, ice and snow of winter, and I absolutely and totally wilt at this time of the year.
I am miserable and grouchy during hot weather months, especially August.
To be honest, I dislike the weather anytime it gets past 80-85 degrees.
California free fishing day this Saturday
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 12:44am
By Don Quilici
The second of California’s two free Fishing Days will be over the Labor Day holiday weekend on Saturday, Sept. 3. The other Free Fishing Day was back on July 2. You can fish, all day, without a fishing license.
You'll be able to fish wherever you like in California. However, you will need to abide by the rules and regulations that govern whatever water(s) you will be fishing.
So, be sure to obey those rules and regulations. Don’t do something illegal. If you do, and if you get caught, it could be very expensive.
