Mr. Singh came by the museum today along with Chief Wells to discuss what we have learned about the scouts’ misadventures. After interviewing all of the boys, it seems they were on the third day of their trip and had done a plant identification exercise, particularly for things you could survive on if you were […]
Search and Rescue has been out with search dogs looking for the scoutmaster. They have found several very minimalist camps and the trail has lead them all over the south ridge and deep into the national forest. It’s almost as if this guy doesn’t want to be found. So, he seems to be alive and […]
Sources close to the Mayor have informed us that three more competing offers have come in for parcels surrounding the quarry. There seems to be some overlap, but that all of them include the problematic “North Parcel 5.” When we asked the Mayor about this, he stuck his head out into his reception area and […]
Well, we’ve been getting a whole slew of emails from some of you that haven’t lived in town in years and never visit (not to name any names). You want to know what was meant in the Friday update by “Jurisdictional Anomalies,” and we’ve gotta tell ya, we’re a little reluctant to get into it. […]
This is your Community Bulletin for the week of June 25th, 2016. And wow, what a week. First off, the scouts: The first boys that were rescued have all been returned to their parents after getting their statements. It seems that the ninth boy, Francis, is still speaking incoherently, but has calmed down and is […]
For those that haven’t been following the missing persons search, the Forest Service has reported that the last of the scouts have been found. As you may know, the first batch of scouts were found hiding out in woodshed just outside of town, having been scared away from their camp by noises from a party. […]
Last night, for the first time since 1948, the Summer Solstice was ushered in with a full moon. As you can expect, the ruckus up on the North Ridge was impressive. Those of us that live on the ridge line had few options but to raise a glass of your sedative-of-choice if there was any […]
Police Chief Lola Wells would like to alert everyone that, in the rush and panic over pimentos yesterday, a lot of folks in town missed her warning about raccoons. As such, a few people who left their sheds unlocked (and we aren’t naming names) are missing tools and other “useful shiny things.” As editor, I […]
This is your Community Bulletin for the week of June 19th, 2016 After a couple of weeks of pretty unseasonable temperatures, this past week has been pretty nice, and the gardens have loved the additional rain. Amma Johnson, known around here for her amazing green thumb, has just finished getting her sweet potatoes in the […]
Sheila is back from her survey of the south ridge. She says that the “campers” have moved along after some gentle nudging, and that things on the hill are, “…about as quiet as you would hope they could be…for this time of year at least.” Of concern are signs that badgers have found their way […]
Six years. Now, I’m telling you, if you called a plumber and he said it would be six hours before he could fix a clogged toilet, you’d keep calling around for other options. If the EMT said it would be six minutes before he’d bother doin’ CPR on ya, you’d stay alive probably outta sheer […]
