Letters (Feb 24, 2016)

The Supervisors' Meeting on the Kemper Report was disheartening when Supervisor Hamburg and Supervisor McCowen threw adult mental health patients and their families under the Ortner bus for the next many months.

Valley People (Feb 24, 2016)

WE HEARD that Bobby Owens, Boonville native son and grounds supervisor at the Boonville Fairgrounds, and a guy I've known since he toddled over to my house to play basketball when he was still in…

Panthers Again In Playoffs

PLAYOFF GAME TIME: AV (#2) meets North Hills Christian (#15) (Vallejo) this Wednesday (Feb 24th) at 7 pm at the Anderson Valley HS gym.

The Hollowness Of Loss

I first met the celebrated American composer Steven Stucky not in Ithaca, where we have both lived for the past twenty years, but in Los Angeles on February 26, 1995. I arrived in Ithaca later that year; Steve had taken up what proved to be a more than three-decade-long post as professor of music at Cornell back in 1980 after doing his doctorate in composition at the university in the 1970s.
