Note from the Editor...

Hello, Amador County...due to a recent death in my family, I have not been able to manage ACN these past few days, and am not sure when I will be able to resume posting/publishing.

In the mean time, ACN crossposts with RTV and Sierra News Bulletin on Facebook. Contact Kam Merzlak with RTV or Bill Lavallie with SNB.

I appreciate your understanding, and thank you for all of your support these past 13 years.
