A big thanks
On behalf of many residents of Spring Valley, I would like to make an acknowledgement of all the help that the Rocky Fire received.
Many folk, including myself of Spring Valley, would like to thank all those helping us during the time of the fire. Those who put evacuation in place and saw to helping people evacuate.
Thank you to our local firemen as well as all the firemen who came from all over; nearly 4,000 in all. You have saved our homes.
Thank you to the Moose Lodge for providing shelter, food and water. There were many volunteers helping us when it was hard for us to help ourselves. The Moose did a fantastic job of organizing, keeping us supplied with all the necessities; food, liquids. To help with this, donations of clothing, camping supplies, bedding, food, and personals. We were kept up-to-date regarding the current status of the fire; this helped tremendously. Several nights we had Cherokee to add a little fun. (That was great).
We had volunteers come from the county to aid us in this time of need. We even had a biker club prepare our dinner and cleanup. What an unexpected treat. Thank you guys!
A special thank you to all in our community who helped with evacuation and housing of pets and horses. Let’s not forget to thank those who donated animal food, as well. What a blessing!
Thanks to all the invisible contributors. There were so, so many.
Job well-done everybody!

What (really) is a lie?
I think it is time to ask our friend “Mac” to define what he considers “lies”! We need some specificity because, more and more it appears that anything he disagrees with, or doesn’t understand, is considered a lie. Perhaps worse is his tendency to consider anything a “Dem” says is a lie and anything a “Rep” says is the truth.
Pretty obviously, with his selective memory he has eliminated Iraq from history

Wire up
I have never been anywhere the car radio has so many interruptions as Lakeport. In SF’s Broadway the car radio would not play until coming out the other side. A so-called expert ran an aerial wire on the ceiling of the tunnel and, guess what, the radio played all the way through.
Why can’t we run a wire underneath all the crap that are on the poles — run a wire between five or six poles in front of the Lagoons on Main St. Please give it a try.
