California wagon train reenactors start yearly trek through Sierra Nevada
People heading up and back from Lake Tahoe will be in for a throwback sight along Highway 50 this week.
The annual Highway 50 Association Wagon Train started its trek up and down the mountains Sunday.
Now in its 76th year, the parade celebrates California's Gold Rush history with reenactors making the journey in period attire and transportation.
Sunday marked the start of the journey in Round Hill Village, Nev. The wagon train is scheduled to stop in several locations as it goes up and down the mountain, with Monday being the day the group made it up to Echo Summit.

Tuesday's leg of the journey will see the train go from the Tamarack Pines Cutoff to Kyburz.
After a few other stops along Highway 50, the final leg of the journey will happen Saturday from Pollock Pines to Placerville.
California Highway Patrol is alerting high country drivers to be aware of the train. Drivers should expect slow-moving traffic and some delays, officers say.
People interested in joining the trek can still do so by heading to the wagon train's website. Full Highway 50 trip and daily options are available. Of course, period dress is required.

Clean Peepers Introduces EYEGLASS EGGS™ as Stylish New Standard in Eyewear Hygiene
With rising concern over supply chains and everyday essentials, Clean Peepers LLC emerges as a U.S.-based answer for cleaner, more conscious lens care. SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 / / -- Clean Peepers LLC, a new eyewear care brand founded by Bay Area tech professional, Dori Young announces the official launch of the Clean Peepers debut product line and online store. At the center of the launch is EYEGLASS EGGS™, a reusable, patent-pending lens cleaning cloth designed to fit over the hand for quick, precise cleaning — no more smudges, streaks, or waste. EYEGLASS EGGS™ offers a more thoughtful alternative to typical microfiber cloths and disposable wipes. Each kit includes two cloth styles; the Quick Clean EYEGLASS EGG™ for dry smudges and the Cleansing EYEGLASS EGGS™ for use with spray or water, plus a twist-up mister (which ships empty for customizable filling), a telescoping drying capsule, and a selection of travel cases and pouches in stylish, modern colors. Designed for portability and everyday use, the Clean Peepers system supports better hygiene for one of the most frequently overlooked personal care items: your glasses. With reusable and refillable components, the kits are made for people who prioritize clean living, travel often, or follow a skincare routine that includes their eyewear. Beyond function, EYEGLASS EGGS™ was intentionally designed to be visually appealing and fun to use. In product testing, customers noted they were more likely to clean their glasses regularly because the tools were easy to carry and enjoyable to use. By offering kits that complement personal style, Clean Peepers turns eyewear care into something people look forward to. Following a soft direct-to-consumer launch earlier this year, Clean Peepers is now opening wholesale opportunities for retailers and optical partners. Its June release also honors Juneteenth, reflecting the company's identity as a Black woman–led business and its broader commitment to ownership, accessibility, and forward-thinking design. 'This isn't just about smudges,' said Young. 'It's about having something reliable and well-made in your daily routine, something that's yours, and that works.' EYEGLASS EGGS™ kits are now available to consumers via the company's online store and are open to retail partnerships nationwide. ### For wholesale inquiries, visit: To purchase directly, visit: If you would like to review EYEGLASS EGGS™, please contact Clean Peepers directly.

Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga!
Rancho Cucamonga, about 40 miles east of Los Angeles in California's Inland Empire, was made by the automobile. After Interstate 15 opened here in the 1960s, this rural expanse of citrus orchards and vineyards transformed into a commuter town and logistics hub. Families flocked to the single-family homes that replaced farmland, while companies like Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, flavor maker T. Hasegawa, Frito-Lay, and Amphastar Pharmaceuticals exploited its strategic location at the confluence of three major freeways and the Ontario International Airport. Now this car-based city may be remade by the train. The private rail company Brightline has broken ground on a high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Southern California, making Rancho Cucamonga the western terminus of its $12 billion Brightline West project. In a full-circle moment, the city was chosen because of its location along the I-15 freeway, in the median of which the majority of the 218-mile track will run.

Best Idea: Top Team Focuses On Helping Clients, Solving Problems
Germain DiCarlo & Wong Wealth Management Group Wells Fargo advisor Jeff Germain sees himself and his team as problem solvers. When clients call, Germain and his team spring into action. They work overtime to soothe frayed nerves and fix what is broken. But sometimes the problem isn't related to the markets or financial planning. It is of a more personal nature. Like the time the daughter of a client, an ultra-high-net worth family, 'was getting no traction' with the admissions office at a private university on the East Coast. Germain, 64, who is managing director at Germain DiCarlo & Wong Wealth Management Group in Beverly Hills, California, said he turned to one of the team's partners, Kelly Wong. Wong had a contact at the university, and she agreed to make some calls.'We were able to open up the door,' said Germain. 'If Kelly hadn't done that, I'm not sure the student would have ever gotten' the attention her application deserved, Germain said. 'Little things like this are important.' Germain adds: 'All the father could talk about is how we helped his daughter get into the university she most wanted.' Jeffrey R. Germain Germain's nine-member team manages $1.8 billion in assets for about 135 high-net worth clients. The team, part of Wells Fargo Advisors, has been ranked by Forbes | SHOOK as both a Best-In-State and a Top Wealth Management Team. When wildfires ravaged Southern California in January, a prospective client told Germain that his family had lost their home. The family couldn't find a suitable building contractor. Germain made some calls and connected the prospective client with a builder. The family became a client. Having a small client base, Germain said, 'gives us enormous bandwidth and ability to do these things for the client.' In another instance, a client's home was burglarized and stripped of its electronics. The client called Germain in a panic. 'Oh my god, what am I going to do?' she asked. Germain took inventory of what had been lost, drove to Best Buy and worked with the manager there. Within a week, all the client's electronics had been replaced, delivered and installed. When another client was near tears because he lost a prized Rolex to the wildfires, Germain's team made a couple of calls and replaced the watch. Clients in the market looking to buy a car sometimes turn to Germain's team. The team has helped clients find the right vehicle, negotiate the price and even secure financing. After listening to the Germain's team approach toward helping clients, judges selected Germain DiCarlo & Wong Wealth Management Group as a Best Idea Winner at the Forbes | SHOOK Top Teams Summit. 'Probably 70% of what we do is outside the scope of how we make our money,' says Germain. 'It's just about being available, leveraging all the contacts I have. What drives our business is being there for whatever our clients need.' 'Our focus is on representing the client and treating others the way you wish to be treated.'
