Salmon Poisoning detected by Beckwourth vet
Veterinarian Dr. Schafer, of Beckwourth, has just confirmed this year his first case of salmon poisoning, also known as “fish disase,” in a dog. In spite of its name, the parasitic disease can infect trout and other fish in addition to salmon. Teresa Clark, of Nelson Veterinary in Chester, offered this advice: “Don’t let your dog eat fish.” The veterinarian’s office has handled several cases in the past. While the disease is rare, it is highly dangerous for dogs.

The Chilly Chili was all about community
The Chilly Chili Cook-Off in Chester Feb. 14, sponsored by The Almanor Foundation, was really about community. But the chili was good, too. The event drew about 270 chili lovers.

Ten contestants competed in three categories: Judges Choice, People’s Choice and Outstanding Booth.

‘You’re going to love it’
Once again the Lake Almanor Basin’s Westwood Chowder Cook-Off warmed hands and hearts from far and wide. Now in its 16th year, the cook-off, organized by the Westwood Chamber of Commerce, drew in a crowd of 480 people (and a couple of dogs) to the Westwood Visitors Center at Third and Ash Jan. 17.

A family takes on Joshua Tree
“I thought it would be warmer.” These were the first impressions I heard from my wife and three daughters on Day 1 of our spring break trip to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. Like most Minnesotans, they had wanted to travel somewhere warm for their vacation. We weren’t sure about Mexico with twin toddlers, and Disney World was too expensive plus none of us like crowds. Joshua Tree was my brainchild.
