THE COUNTY FAIR at one end of The Valley, something called Bliss Camp at the old Boy Scout camp, Navarro. Quite a mob of bliss ninnies, too, many of the men in cartoon stove pipe hats, the women in green and purple hair. “Blissings to All! Come galactivate your heart space and co*create magic at our Bliss Camp four-day gathering at Camp Navarro in the beautiful Mendocino Redwoods.” Etc.

Greetings one and all. if you are sitting comfortably, I shall begin. Well, the County Fair had my full attention over the last week; as…
The first home match of the year took place last Wednesday (Sep.3) when the Panthers hosted Middletown in a non-league game. This has been a fairly comfortable game for AV in recent times but, under a new head coach, the visitors were a different proposition this time and despite dominating the first half and creating several good chances, AV were held by the battling Middletown team to just one goal by half-time.

So it’s that time again. The County Fair comes to Boonville! Let’s start with some intriguing questions that were raised at the Three-Dot this past week with regard to this weekend’s activities. Will the attendance be an increase on the recent year’s disappointing numbers? Will the infamous “Large-breasted Boonville Flasher” once again expose herself to Sheriff Tom Allman as he rides in the Parade?

Will there be any sheep wounded at the Sheep Dog Trial? Will Pickles the Clown scare any small children? Will any teenage girls run off with a Carny? (See Quiz below).
The late postponement of the opening game against Clear Lake as a result of the very disappointing fact that no officials had been assigned to referee the game, saw the 2014 AV High School Boys’ football season finally getting underway with a non-league match at Kelseyville on Friday, August 29. The team arrived in two vans in time to watch the conclusion of the AV Girls’ team loss against the Knights before preparing to start their own match on what was a very warm late afternoon in the drought-ridden landscape of Lake County.

So that was it. With the Labor Day weekend over, summer has officially been and gone, although the desperately needed rainfall is still some way off, assuming we get some!? The holiday weekend saw the usual influx of tourists, many of whom were polite and respectful, but some found the need to treat our roads like racetracks and I saw several instances of their “footprints” in the form of the above average amount of road kill.
When is it reasonable to spend precious moneys to confirm the obvious? Phillip Dow, the head of the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG), insists that…
