I have often thought that telling ourselves and each other what a wonderful community we have here in the Valley is something that is certainly true but, if repeated over and over, perhaps a little too self-congratulatory, and almost smug in my humble, and some might say, curmudgeonly opinion. I feel that simply knowing it, enjoying it, feeding off it, and adding to it, without frequently “shouting it from the rooftops,” no matter how true it may be, is a more agreeable way to enjoy and celebrate this undoubted gift we as a community possess.
CONNOISSEURS of wacky public meetings might want to attend the Health Center’s meetings as its overlarge board of trustees goes all sphinx on locals trying to pry info out of them. This is what happens: The locals “vent” as the trustees look back at them as if they’re not there. The eight sphinxes don’t look angry or amused or haughty or anything at all other than blindly disinterested.

G.P.A.’s above 3.0 abound among the student athletes and the sports” teams are enjoying great success. The girls” volleyball team has just one loss while the boys soccer and football teams both have 100% winning records, and girls soccer, while having a mixed won/loss record, have come a long way since their two-girl first practice a month or so ago! Our small rural high school never ceases to amaze me. and thankfully it’s far more often than not for good reasons!
The team faced its toughest test yet when they hosted Rincon Valley Christian last Wednesday at Tom Smith Field. The Christians had won all six of their games to date this season and their coach…
THE COUNTY FAIR at one end of The Valley, something called Bliss Camp at the old Boy Scout camp, Navarro. Quite a mob of bliss ninnies, too, many of the men in cartoon stove pipe hats, the women in green and purple hair. “Blissings to All! Come galactivate your heart space and co*create magic at our Bliss Camp four-day gathering at Camp Navarro in the beautiful Mendocino Redwoods.” Etc.
Greetings one and all. if you are sitting comfortably, I shall begin. Well, the County Fair had my full attention over the last week; as a result all I can provide on this occasion is…
