Off the Record (Sep 3, 2014)

WE OFTEN HEAR of furriners other than Mexican nationals growing dope deep in the hills of Mendocino and Humboldt counties. These furriners are often accurately identified as Bulgarians, and how exciting for our tiny, outback population to be so globally villaged! Bulgarians! There was a nest of Bulgos in Covelo that was busted up by Mendo’s famous lawman, Peter Hoyle, a few years ago, around the same time a multi-national trimmer crew — Italians, Swedes, Spaniards, Japanese, and Chinese — was discovered near Laytonville. They were all young and seemingly recruited out of a Bay Area youth hostel. The Italian consul even dispatched a couple of lawyers to defend the Italians against the rubes in the County Courthouse. And just the other day a couple of girls, one a Brit, the other an Argentinean, both of them looking awfully upscale by outback dope standards, were arrested on dope-related charges in Willits.

Letters (Sep 3, 2014)

The paper has printed a number of letters from community members who have concerns and observations about the Anderson Valley Health Center and the care received by patients there. Unfortunately, many of these letters have promulgated significant misinformation. Additionally, a number of people attending the Health Center’s Board of Directors meeting on August 25, who expressed their concern for Dr. Apfel, repeated much of the misinformation that has been published. Although we cannot always comment on particular points, we can make general statements that we hope will alleviate some of the concerns.
