I have a special treat for readers this week: an enlightening trip down Memory Lane to celebrate 10 years of A Bird’s Eye View. It all began on November 24, 2004 with the original column below in italics.
A FEY VOICE on our nut screener says, “Mrs. Ricard was not born and raised in Boonville.” Click. The call sounded like it came from an outdoor pay phone; the voice was furtive bordering on frightened. And prompted, I guess, from an item several weeks ago where I'd said an old timer had told me he thought Mrs. R was a Boonville girl.

WE WERE ALWAYS great admirers of the late Helen Libeu, and close enough to her to visit with her at her home in Duncans Mills and picnic with her at her old growth redwood grove up Peachland Road here in Boonville. There have certainly been noisier environmentalists on the Northcoast but none as effective as Helen who fought off Corporate Timber from her seat on the State Board of Forestry and through her strong influence with the Northcoast’s elected Democrats, from Congress on down.
