Sobriety and driver's license checkpoint planned for Friday

Sobriety and driver's license checkpoint planned for Friday

The California Highway patrol (CHP)), Woodland Area, will be conducting a driving under the influence (DUI) and driver license checkpoint on August 24, 2012, somewhere within the unincorporated area of Yolo County.

The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist by targeting roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated or unlicensed drivers. A sobriety/driver license checkpoint is a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operation.

Animal Services looking for dog that bit woman

 

The Yolo County Sheriff's Office, Animal Services Section, is attempting to locate a biting dog, hopefully preventing further treatment for the victim. 

On March 10, a 21 year- old female UC Davis student was bitten by a 50 pound, Dark Brown, Male Terrier as she tried to pet the dog while he was tied up at the Arboretum on the UC Davis campus.

The Animal Services Section wants to ensure the public understands information regarding this incident is important for rabies prevention because Rabies is a deadly disease. Finding the offending animal may prevent post exposure rabies treatment for the victim. Also, as part of the Rabies Prevention Program it is important to ensure the dog’s license and rabies vaccine are current.

We would also like to remind the public to use caution when petting or approaching any animal with which they are not familiar.

From nuts to soup and soup to nuts

From nuts to soup and soup to nuts

(CC) r reeves For many years the Nut Tree was a bustling conglomerate of family-owned businesses that were too enticing to pass by, no matter where in Northern California you were headed. The Nut Tree was THE place to stop! Having started life as a roadside fruit stand, it eventually contained a restaurant with a large indoor aviary, the Toy Shop, the Nut Tree Railroad, the Nut Tree Coffee Shop, a bake shop, and the Nut Tree Airport. I remember the days when people with airplanes would fly up, shuttle over to the restaurant, have lunch, then fly home. Alas, it apparently couldn't last forever. The old Nut Tree sold its last cookbook, round-housed its little train, and served its last meal in 1996. During the next decade, the Northern California Renaissance Fair used the grounds for its yearly extravaganza.
