THE ANDERSON VALLEY PANTHERS crushed undefeated Calistoga Friday night in Boonville, 44-24. The defending NCL III champs — that's us — were upset by Upper Lake last week 34-22. The loss to Upper Lake was to a team that hadn't won a game the prior two seasons, and that was bad enough, but having our 16-game winning streak snapped seemed to provide plenty of angry incentive for us to knock off the undefeated league leader Calistoga.

Several Three-Dot regulars remarked on the strong aroma of marijuana emanating from a significant number of young folks in the Valley in recent weeks, many of whom have never been seen around here before. It is a mystery.
As the Panthers made the two-plus hour journey to the “wilds” of western Sonoma County to play Tomales last Wednesday afternoon, they were looking to bounce back from two recent morale-sapping defeats. The situation was…
A Three-Dot regular reminds me that two of the current five members of the AV School Board are leaving when their terms end in less than a month. Martha “Marti” Bradford, who, after so many years service, to paraphrase an old Three-Dot joke, apparently will not be carried out of the boardroom in a box after all, and Patti Wilson.

I drove over the hill to Ukiah on a hot day. I was looking for the County's lead educator. He's an Italian from Point Arena. I thought about how far education has slipped since Socrates and how they poisoned him for being bisexual. I drove east to Talmage. Damaged people shuffled up and down the sidewalks in the sun. A dog was dead in front of the Talmage Market.
"The Porkie" served at the Navarro Store on Saturday and Sunday afternoons by Grill Master Guy Kephart is surely one of the Valley’s finest offerings. Pulled pork wallowing in bbq sauce and served with cole slaw on top, inside a lightly toasted sourdough bun. it just makes a perfectly serene Sunday afternoon amongst the Deep End redwoods even better.
The annual Alumni game took place last Wednesday evening when this year’s High School team faced players from several previous seasons in what is always a close contest, with the school team holding a 4-2…
Last Wednesday, September 23, the AV Panthers traveled south to Santa Rosa for the first of a number of season-defining matches. this one against five-time defending regular-season champions, Roseland Prep. These games have always been…
