Congratulations YCC Business of the Month May-June!
Dori’s Tea Cottage & Café
As we begin our sixth year in
Groveland, Dori’s Tea Cottage
& Café is a constantly evolving
enterprise. Last year, we expanded our space and opened
the Café, thus expanding our
retail area and doubling our
seating capacity in the tea
room. Our “Build a Picnic” offering has become very popular
for those heading into Yosemite. The café offers espresso
and coffee drinks, breakfast bagels and breakfast wraps, sandwiches, wraps, salads, artisan
cheese, fresh-baked pastries,
and an expanded wine list that
features Lavender Ridge
(Murphys), Coppermine
(Vallecito) and Milliaire
(Murphys) – everything you’ll
need for a picnic in the park.

Railtown 1897 Train Rides Wednesdays July 10 - Aug 28
JAMESTOWN, Calif. – Beginning on July 10 and continuing through August 28, 2013, Railtown
1897 State Historic Park (SHP) in Jamestown will begin offering diesel train rides on Wednesdays
at noon and 2 p.m. While the Park is open daily, steam-powered excursion train rides are typically
offered on weekends only except for holidays and special occasions. 2013 is the first time Railtown
1897 SHP has offered Wednesday train rides through the summer.
All train ride passengers will be treated to a six-mile, 45-minute round trip ride along the rails of the
famous “Movie Railroad,” passing through California’s scenic Gold Country where scenes from
many Hollywood movies were filmed. Tickets for all excursion train rides include Park admission
and cost $15 for adults, $8 for youths ages 6-17 and kids five and under are free. Advance train
ride tickets are available online or at the ticket window beginning at 10 a.m. the day of the train ride
on a first-come, first-served basis depending on availability.
Guests are encouraged to spend the day at Railtown 1897 SHP by touring the Park and learning
more about its authentic railroad facilities and fascinating role in the Hollywood and television industry. Also, guests are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the sprawling Roundhouse lawn
while enjoying the day.
Advance train ride tickets are available at www.railtown1897.org and more information about excursion train rides or Railtown 1897 SHP in general is available by calling 209-984-3953.

Supervisor Article July 2013
Who can believe that it’s almost
Independence Day! The 4th of
July! Wouldn’t it be nice if we
could truly be “independent”?
Like most things in life, there is
a cost associated with the everyday operation. We are dependent upon one another, government and all that comes with
it.
In June, I went back and took a
look at a few of the past articles
that I have written. There is a
recurring theme of budgets,
money, lack of funding and
problems with balancing our
governmental check book. It
looks as though I have been
consistent in addressing problems related to the county
budget, as well.
The Board of Supervisors and
Staff are at it again trying to formulate a balanced budget that
provides essential services.
News will come out soon that
the State budget is balanced
and that there is a surplus. I
could just stop writing here and
just re-insert the article from July
2012 –except for the State surplus part.
Counties are still not receiving
an adequate share of the tax
base. Tuolumne County has a
two million dollar budget gap

official that says where a rural

addition of developments such
as Pine Mountain Lake, which
would most surely swell the
