Say Hello to Goat! Yes..Goat. Here’s the story..

This is Goat, my pet jackrabbit! Goat was rescued, as a baby, just a few hours old, and has remained with us ever since! He has become a huge part of the family and just loves music! Of course, the big ears must help! Goat is such a great, little guy! Although, it’s not recommended to have a wild animal for a pet, this was a unique situation that will be treasured forever! Here he is posing in his spring garden!

Julie Getter trains and owns “Care Dogs”. Her own golden retrievers “Lakota” and “Boomer” are trained and continuously worked with by Julie to volunteer at the schools in Calaveras County. Julie takes the dogs weekly to visit the children in our schools and comfort them at times of need. Recently our community lost a little nine year old girl when a tree crashed into her bedroom during a recent storm. Julie took LaKota and Boomer to the school daily to comfort the kids during therapy. She also volunteers the dogs for the fire department in Arnold in times of crisis. Her love of animals and children especially, make her the most deserving person I know.

KKBN Pet Of The Week (04/17/12)

I would like to introduce to miss belle and miss creed. Belle has gone to two homes and never really settled in until I got her now this is her third and final home. Her best friend is creed aka stinky kitty. I found creed a couple days before x-mas weak,starving,dirty and flea infested and very very feral. I was shocked that she came to me that rainy cold night she just had no fight in her. I took her in and told my husband keep the new laptop u got me and let me have this poor baby instead. she has never left my side. I have two other dogs and since being raised with them she thinks she is one of them. I have never seen a cat fetch or chase its tail let alone wanna play in her drinking water. Belle i was told never got along with cats…. but creed puts her best friend in check. I have been having seizures for the past 5 months and the docs don’t know why and have to go back to Stanford for more testing in July. I don’t know what i would do without my two girls. They are the only two things i see when i come out of my episodes and i was told they never leave my side when i am having my seizures. They make sure I am ok before they run off and play hide and seek and chase. I AM TRULY BLESSED.

KKBN Goodie Award (4/11/12)

Posted on | April 11, 2012 | No Comments

If ever there was a true Goodie deserving of an award, he would be Mr. Michael Woicicki. Mike served as the principal of Black Oak Elementary, Pinecrest School, and Twain Harte Middle School for a decade, prior to his retirement 3 years ago. His passion for helping people was apparent as he worked with the families and staff of the Twain Harte Long Barn School District.

We thought we would really miss him when he retired, but we don’t! He retired and took one year off, but he couldn’t stay away. Last year he returned to volunteer at THMS twice a week, every week, to help my students achieve success in math. He’s been here twice a week ever since! For two years now, he has volunteered 10 hours a week in my classes. He willingly cheers and mentors students on as they practice new math concepts. He works one-on-one with students who have missed a lesson, and he always makes us smile. He will do anything to help a child succeed – and his love of learning is transmitted to everyone at the school. As a teacher and then principal, he has nearly 40 years of valuable experience in education. Mike continues to benefit the lives of the teachers and students of THMS. He is the very definition of a great educator, and an extraordinary Goodie!
