Valley People (June 28, 2017)

IT REACHED 102 IN THE SHADE in Boonville last Thursday. And was higher than that out in the Yorkville direction. 110 in Ukiah where a hot day somehow seems to double down in wrap-around ghastliness. Winds were at or near zero. Some reports even had Fort Bragg around an amazing 90 for Thursday. Temps are supposed to gradually return to more normal 80s for highs in Anderson Valley over the next few days with corresponding reductions in other areas of the County.

Bird’s Eye View (June 28, 2017)

The school year came to an end a couple of weeks ago without any more “incidents,” and for many of us it was not without some relief that the recent chaotic events took a backseat for a time. A few weeks ago we had the unsightly occurrence of our Elementary School Principal calling the police and claiming that she had been held against her will in our School Superintendent’s office by the Superintendent herself. Furthermore, comments from disappointed, disillusioned, and downright shocked parents and members of our community, plus folks who work at the school, have been all over Facebook and social media ever since.
