# 134 - October 29th, 2008

Greetings one and all…Are you sitting comfortably - then I shall begin…As usual, let’s start with a Valley Quiz!...This time it’s based on my adventures this past weekend out and about in The Valley - answers at the end…
1. Who is the quarterback for this year’s high school football team?
2. How much does it cost to park and walk at Hendy Woods?
3. Who are the owners of the Apple Farm?
A Vulture’s weekend…Last Friday afternoon, accompanied by the Silver Skylark, I decided to fly down to Santa Rosa to watch the A.V.H.S. Boys play a crucial soccer game at Roseland Prep. Along with about thirty other A.V. fans who had also made the trip, I very much enjoyed the remarkable comeback by the Panthers from 0-3 down to tie 3-3 and thus almost certainly secure a second place league finish in the regular season and a home game in the first play-off round…Following all this excitement I quickly turned round and zoomed back to the Fairgrounds in Boonville in time to see the second half action as the Football Panthers clinched an excellent victory, 14-12 against a fine Rincon Valley team, also setting up the real possibility of a play-off game…Panther sports – clearly it’s the place to be!…
Despite a mild hangover as a result of my celebrations on Friday night, I found myself flying over Navarro Vineyards on Saturday morning and, along with Skylark and fellow visitors, joined winery ‘owner’ Sarah Bennett and Border Collies, Grace and Rose, as they attempted the very difficult task of moving a flock of seventy-five sheep through the low-lying vines to new grazing pastures up in the foothills on the eastern side of The Valley. One hour later, and after some chaotic moments, the job was complete – well done to all!…It was thirsty work so a visit to the Apple Farm and a cool bottle of apple juice was next on the schedule. It’s very pleasant that in this day and age the Apple Farm is still able to offer the ‘honor system’ and customers are trusted to help themselves to the fine array of products on display and pay what they owe by leaving the money in a box. Not only did I devour two juices but I also bought some crispy fresh Philo Gold and Baldwin apples – and truly delicious they were too…
Next stopover was Hendy Woods just a little further along the Philo-Greeenwood Road where there is a similar “trust” method on the charge for a walk in the beautiful and majestic Redwoods. Obviously there is nothing wrong with that but, unlike at the Apple Farm, there is no change box and so what are you to do if, like me (I only had a $20 bill), you do not have the exact change to leave in the envelope that is provided? I went in anyway and hoped the Ranger would understand my dilemma, and that of other visitors I’m sure. After a peaceful, serene, and at times mesmerizing walk (if everyone could do this once a month I’m sure the world would be a better place), the Ranger arrived as I was flying away…I would like to think that he would have understood, or even better, will come up with a way of rectifying this situation…
After a brief break to nibble on some carrion, it was down to The Deep End for the final live music night of the year at The Navarro Store. As I arrived I was greeted by a wonderful smell emanating from Pablo’s grill along with the superb sounds of the Bobby Young Project resonating from the stage. The “usual suspects” were all there and by the time the headline act, Willie G and The G-Spots, were in mid-set, there was a crowd of about one hundred people having a wonderful time. Following a most satisfying plate of ribs washed down with some cold beers, I was just thinking that Dave Evans and his staff have provided a wonderful regular gathering place and event for the community all summer long when, for reasons that are still unclear, some serious “Deep End Discussions” broke out…It was quite ugly and several innocent by-standers became unwittingly involved. One very inebriated, dark and curly-haired individual completely lost it at one point, turning over three large picnic tables and swinging out wildly at anyone within range. I left shortly thereafter, as did many of those present – which was just too bad. Once again, and even in such an out-of-the-way place as Navarro, the enjoyment of so many had been spoilt by the selfishness of so few…
On Sunday it was time to pay a visit to one of my favorite Valley events – The Barn Sale on Anderson Valley Way. On my arrival, Bill Holcomb was busy at the grill with wife Eva, Gloria Ross, and friends graciously helping the many customers. I picked up a couple of bargains and as I devoured my succulent Holcomburger, I was able to watch three sheep dogs being put through their paces in the field alongside. From what I could tell, they appeared to be mostly in control and, following the successes of the school sports’ teams, in football terms, it seemed to be about a 28-7 victory to the dogs – yer gotta like that…
Meanwhile, I hope you have all been working on your Halloween costumes because there are a couple of big events coming up in The Valley this weekend. On the night itself, Friday October 31st, there’s a costume party with all sorts of other goodies, not to mention ‘Scary-oke’, at The Boonville Lodge, and on Saturday, 1st November, it’s the Magic Company’s “20,008 Leagues under the Sea” costume party at The A.V. Grange - I’ll be one dressed as some sort of bird of prey!...
Well, after such an intense few days of “top quality investigative reporting” around the Valley, I shall not feel guilty at all about receiving my huge salary from the A.V.A. this week!...I’ll get my coat, shall I?…Be careful out there; stay out of the ditches; think good thoughts, and may your god go with you…Oh, and of course, one final request, “Let us prey”…Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture…

1. David Swanson is the school Q.B. who has led the Panthers to their unbeaten record so far…
2. $6 – and for such a special place, it’s a no-brainer…
3. Karen Schmidt and Tim Bates are those trusting souls who produce some of the best apples anywhere

# 133 - October 22nd, 2008

Greetings one and all…Are you sitting comfortably - then I shall begin…As usual, let’s start with a Valley Quiz!...This time we have a local music theme - answers at the end…
1. Which band was the headline act on Saturday night at this year’s Mendocino County Fair?
2. Who will be the main act at the upcoming Halloween (actually Nov. 1st) party being organized by The Magic Company at The Grange?
3. Who provided the music at the recent Harvest Party to benefit the ElderHome and Senior Center, also held at The Grange?
It’s that time again – yes, readers, this coming weekend, October, 25th/26th, sees the monthly Barn Sale at The St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church Refectory on A.V. Way just north of Boonville. It runs from 9am to 3pm on both Saturday and Sunday and along with bargains galore you can “experience” a delicious Holcomburger fresh off Bill’s grill, and perhaps, on the Sunday, even see some shepherds and their dogs working the sheep in the field alongside. Sounds like a delightful afternoon to me!
This weekend also sees the final gathering of the year for the Boonville Farmer’s Market in the Boonville Hotel parking lot from 9.45 to Noon, and will feature a potluck. The good news is that in its place over the winter months there will be a Food and Craft Mart, also organized by Cindy Wilder, held each Sunday from Noon to 2pm at The A.V. Grange Hall on Hwy.128 between Boonville and Philo. As Cindy tells it, “If you grow it or make it, you can sell it!”…For further details call 895-2949…
Whilst I have been featuring several “Whines of the Week” of late, I haven’t done a “Wine of the Week” for some time - and this week is no exception. However, in a related ‘incident’, I did find myself indulging in the superb Caldo de Mariscos (Seafood Soup) at Libby’s Mexican Restaurant last Saturday lunchtime. The food here continues to be of a high quality and Libby makes this particular special by using Red snapper, Shrimps, Mussels, Clams, veggies and rice. By dipping in the homemade delicious corn tortillas and accompanied with a chilled bottle of Pacifico beer, the experience was, dare I say it, orgasmic, and can therefore be highly recommended...
‘Signs that The Apocalypse may NOT be approaching - #1’: This shocking news just in from my top investigative reporter who is embedded with The Onion magazine in Chico, California...”In an unprecedented and historic event Monday, the 'I Am Under 18' button, an Internet security device which if selected restricts access to websites featuring adult content, was clicked for the first time ever, anywhere, by a young fellow in California. 'I knew I could simply claim to be over 18 and continue onto my desired destination, but I also realized that I would have to live with the lie for the rest of my life,' said local resident Ivor Biggun, 17. 'I admit, I was curious to see what type of material I would find on www.juggworld.com, but that button was clearly placed there for a reason, and let's face it: 17 and three-quarters is not 18. I plan to return to the site three months from now, when I will be mature enough to handle its content.’ “…Seems like a nice boy; peculiar, but nice…
If only Ivor had listened to American politician and military man, Alexander Haig, perhaps he would not have had to live “with the lie” of claiming to be 18. Following Haig's advice, he probably would have decided to not click the button and thoroughly enjoy what he found on juggworld.com. For it was Haig who explained away numerous ‘truth-stretching’ with the famous words, “It is not a lie, it is a terminological inexactitude”… And that, courtesy of the General, is your Quote of the Week…
County Sheriff Tom Allman, the head honcho in these parts and quite a far way beyond, showed up in town last Tuesday evening and popped into The Boonville Lodge Bar and Grill where I was enjoying a nice tossed green salad and a cup of herbal tea – just joking. The Sheriff guzzled down several Jack Daniels and Cokes – still just joking. He actually said a friendly “hello” to the customers and enjoyed a chat with a couple of them before announcing that he was checking in on the well-being of an “old friend”, Amy Bloyd. She wasn’t there that night and he left shortly after…Now far be it from me to gossip but it was at The Parade at The County Fair that the very expressive Amy showed her “approval” of the job Sheriff Tom is doing by flashing her “girls” to him as he rode past on a float. I personally saw him smile in appreciation. Now fast forward to last Tuesday when he comes in to the bar to see her. I’m sure it’s all very innocent and I couldn’t possibly comment further…
Well, following the “adult” nature of the column this week, I think it’s definitely time to take my leave!...Be careful out there; stay out of the ditches; think good thoughts, and may your god go with you…Oh, and of course, one final request, “Let us prey”…Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture…
P.S. “Hi, potential Sheriffs, good to see you at the “Meet-and-Greet” at Lauren’s on Sunday – hopefully we can work something out”…

1. Dean Titus and The Coyote Cowboys
2. The Mermen
3. The Peanut Butter and Jam Band

# 132 - October 15th, 2008

Greetings one and all…Are you sitting comfortably - then I shall begin…Let’s start with a Valley Quiz!...Answers at the end…
1. Who is the P.A. announcer/commentator for our high school football games at the Fairgrounds?
2. Whose is that voice on the message if you call the A.V. Brewery?
3. Who is the announcer of the Sheep Dog Trails at the Mendocino County Fair?
…Which leads me to…The final Sheep Dog Trial of the season took place this past weekend at The Johnson (Stanley) Ranch in Yorkville. The summer-long competition of twenty trials held in the Mendocino/Lake/Sonoma region, organized by The Redwood Empire Sheep Dog Association (R.E.S.D.A.), has been dominated by shepherds and dogs from out of the Valley in recent years. However, with the fine runner-up performance at The County Fair by Kevin Owens and his Border Collie, Bren, together with the small group of eager shepherds and dogs, currently working together a few times a week at the field alongside The Barn Sale building (just north of Boonville alongside Hwy. 128), perhaps there will be a local shepherd and dog who can bring back the glory days to A.V. sheep-herding in the not-too-distant future…p.s. check out www.resda.com for further details…
Talking of the relationship between man/woman and dogs, how about this little gem from poet and novelist, Rainer Maria Rilke for our Quote of the Week…”God sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it…and he knew that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that in body and mind it could not have been made better in any way”…I can’t argue with that…
Public Service Announcement # 377: As I flew over Gowan’s Oak Tree and Fruit Stand on Hwy.128 last Saturday lunchtime I noticed quite a crowd of people had gathered for the “U-Pick Pumpkins and Wagon Rides” event. And the good news is that it takes place again this weekend (October 18th/19th) from 11am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday…
Now on to # 378: The public radio station, KZYX & Z, begins its weeklong Fall Pledge Drive this coming weekend – October 18th. Please give generously, many good people work there and they do a fine job overall, plus the excessive political correctness emanating from their suburban Philo H.Q. seems to be abating a little. Furthermore, with the departure of Vance “Smooth-Talking” Crow, it doesn’t feel like you’re giving to a used car salesman…I’m merely trying to help…
And, while we’re all gathered here, what about #379?...I can now confirm that the locally filmed “Pig Hunt”, in its final full length version, will definitely be screened at the A.V. Film Festival, to be held at The Grange in January, 2009. Produced by Robert Mailer Anderson, written by Zack Anderson, and directed by Jim Isaac, the movie is described by Mitch Davis, the executive director Fantasia Film Festival as “the wildest American horror movie of the year”…Should be a wild night in Bedlam!!!...
It would seem, based on reader comments, that the recent “Whines of the Week” have been a little ‘nastier’ of late; “cruel yet fair” even, although quite tame compared to what is being said by certain politicians as the election campaigning reaches new lows. It appears that nothing is off limits and, with that in mind, perhaps neither should be a complaint by your wine-guzzling, hypocritical correspondent about the wineries in our fair Valley.
Now I realize that the recent frosts can do damage and there is probably little that can be done other than to continue with the use of the fans currently employed, but do they have to be that loud? Talk about noise pollution! It’s ridiculous that everyone within a mile or so has to endure what sounds like several helicopters hovering above the neighborhood for hours on end through the night. I wonder if any of the winery owners/managers are also trying to sleep within ear distance of this racket? I think we should be told…
Talking of frosty mornings reminds me that some of you would perhaps like to know that we Turkey Vultures can be seen on such mornings ‘sunbathing’ in a tree or on top of a power pole with our wings spread out. This is done to increase our body temperature after a cold, and frequently sleepless (!) night…And whilst I’m sharing some “interesting and informative” (well I like to think it is) “Jive Turkey”, did you know that we are not related to any other birds of prey...Yer gotta like that!…
I’m outta here – time for a glass of de-frosted late harvest Riesling, I think…Be careful out there, stay out of the ditches, think good thoughts, and may your god go with you…Oh, and of course, one final request, “Let us prey”…Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture…
p.s. “Hi, Independent Career Women! Am I invited to the meeting this month?!”
p.p.s. Former Valley dweller (and a very rare visitor these days) and self-proclaimed “King of Boonville” – John Buckner, was in town with lovely wife Paige and kids Camille and Anderson, this past week. They hosted a party at their for-sale home and, as the day wore on, some guests might well have said, not for the first time, “'Jester of Boonville' would be far more appropriate"…Either way, best wishes to them all!...

1. Ernie Pardini is the “Keith Jackson” of Panther football…
2. That baritone voice that greets phone-callers to the Brewery belongs to Dan Houck (W Dan of KZYX fame). He does a great job and one can only hope that he receives royalties now that he no longer works for ‘King’ Ken…
3. The knowledgeable words that describe the ‘action’ at the Sheep Dog Trial are those of Guido Pronsolino – long may he continue…

# 131 - October 8th, 2008

Greetings one and all…Are you sitting comfortably - then I shall begin…So the first real rain of the season arrived last Friday and from my vantage points high above the Valley floor I believe I saw many farmers scrambling to get their crops out of harm’s way. I hope they were successful. although, despite the forewarning of an accurate weather forecast, some seemed to have left it too late…
It’s time for the ever-popular Valley Quiz!...Answers at the end…
1. Which three varietals are the most prevalent in The Valley’s vineyards these days?
2. How much did the A.V. Brewery donate to local community organizations from the money raised at The 12th Annual Beer Festival this year?
3. I hear one or two of you saying, “All this talk about wine and beer - what about us tolerance-preaching bible readers?”. Well, if you’re that way inclined, you can always go to The Valley Bible Fellowship to discuss things This is the local Independent Bible Church of no-fixed denomination - but where does it meet?...
Moving on…Public Service Announcement #323: The Haz-Mat service that takes care of your waste that the County Dump will not handle is in town this coming Friday and Saturday, October 10th/11th. They are at the Fairgrounds’ parking lot from 9am to 1pm each day… Meanwhile, it’s probably time for a reminder that The County Dump, a couple of miles out of downtown Boonville on Mountain View Road, is open every Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9am – 4pm each day…
It would appear that several “little birdies” think they know the name of the common thief who is repeatedly stealing gas out of people’s cars and trucks here in The Valley before selling it on for relatively cheap prices. Apparently the authorities were informed at one point and one would think it not be beyond the powers of a basic investigation to either clear this up or even lead to an arrest. So why hasn’t this happened? I think we should be told…
And while I’m on the subject of annoying anti-social behavior, can anything be done about the guy in the black Corvette/TransAm (?) who drives along Hwy 128 like an absolute maniac? He is usually spotted at around 8am, just when parents are driving kids to school, and is invariably in sunglasses as he maneuvers all over the road at speeds varying from 75mph down to 25mph and back up again. He is a serious accident waiting to happen. His antics have been reported at least twice to my knowledge but the response has been one of indifference. Apparently there is nobody around to “protect and serve” us at that time of the morning…I couldn’t possibly comment…
The Quote of the Week, appropriate as always, comes from Robert F. Kennedy…”Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true, is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on”…I think he is right on the second point as least, and perhaps it’s time we all made some phone calls before I have to personally go and…(Continued on page 74)…
On to a far more pleasant topic – the upcoming Valley Social Events…The next two weekends (Oct 11th/12th and 18th/19th) see the “U-Pick Pumpkins and Wagon Rides” event at Gowan’s Oak Tree and Fruit Stand on Hwy. 128 - it goes from 11am to 4pm each day…On Saturday evening (October 11th) from 7pm to midnight at The Grange on Hwy. 128, there is the annual Harvest Dance. This is a benefit for The Elder Home, The Senior Center, and The Grange, with music provided by The Peanut Butter and Jam Band. I am reliably informed that dress code should be either a Costume or “Boonville Casual” - whatever form of sartorial elegance that may take…It may also be time to start working on your Halloween costumes because there are a couple of big events coming up. On the night itself, Friday October 31st, there’s a costume party with all sorts of other goodies, not to mention ‘Scary-oke’, at The Boonville Lodge, and on Saturday, 1st November, it’s the Magic Company’s “20,008 Leagues under the Sea” costume party at The A.V. Grange…
Finally this week I have a contribution for “Road Kill of the Week” sent in by The Piratical Pirate bird and Puffin…”We were on Hwy. 128 the other day when we observed a garbage truck pull over and back up. We are particularly fond of garbage trucks and any erratic maneuvering can mean a morsel or more. Indeed, there was something on the road. The car ahead passed the truck and stirred up a cloud of Inflated Greenback feathers. Feeling a surge of community spirit, we stopped to aid the driver clean up the carnage. It was a good specimen with plenty of down and a few of the larger flight feathers. Alas, these days the Greenback lacks any real substance and the feathers don't insulate like they used to. A few more dropped by and in short order no trace could be found.”…Hmm, interesting. Greenbacks, eh? Are you thinking what I’m thinking? – I believe we’re right and somebody around here should be buying the drinks following their piece of good fortune…
Well now I think it’s time to take my leave...Be careful out there, think good thoughts, and may your god go with you…Oh, and of course, one final request, “Let us prey”…Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture…
P.S. “Hi, Bill – I’ll have a pint of beer, please – anything except Coors Lite!”

# 130 - October 1st, 2008

Greetings one and all…Are you sitting comfortably?...Then I shall begin…Last Saturday afternoon I attended the memorial for Richard Reitz at the Apple Hall in Boonville where I joined a large crowd of perhaps eighty people who were there to pass on their condolences and show their support for Richard’s wife Amy and his stepchildren Mea and Eric. It was mainly an ‘old Boonville’ gathering with members of long-time Valley families comp
rising the majority of those in attendance. The display of Richard photographs and ‘Richardisms’ was wonderful, the food excellent, and the shared reminiscences both funny and moving – the event was special and Amy told me that Richard would have no doubt approved. A fine tribute to a fine man…
“Well, what have we here?” was the question that flashed through my mind as I floated above Yorkville Ranch Road in the High Roller country between Boonville and Yorkville. There below, before my disbelieving eyes, were twenty cows roaming across the high meadows – healthy looking beasts with a glint of mischievousness in their eyes, I must say…I had heard about these guys from disgruntled local folk and wanted to see for myself if indeed they really were roaming “wild”. Well it seems as if they are and, following a brief chat with the expensive-flower-munching cow at the head of the herd, it turns out they are just cruising the hills, eating whatever goodies they find in unsuspecting yards and gardens, trampling whatever water lines may be underfoot, and, despite various neighbor’s complaints, their owner is doing nothing about it… Rather like a rogue dog that threatens sheep in these parts, based on what I’m hearing these cows are taking quite a risk, if you get my drift. I can only hope their owner saves them in time…
Whilst we are on the topic of respect for ones neighbors, let’s have a relevant Quote of the Week…It’s from a wise fellow you may have heard of, Confucius, who was once heard to say, “Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?”…
And whilst I’m ranting about this, what about the certain horse-riding folks on Holmes Ranch Road who do not “pick up/shovel away” the vast mounds of steaming horse turds that are deposited on the road at the end of people’s driveways? Now if this were some sort of ‘message’ being sent to certain neighbors then I can see why it may be done – I would probably even approve. However, if it’s just indiscriminate and unintentional then that’s just not neighborly and wrong and perhaps I should respond on behalf of my disgruntled friends and pay the culprits a visit with my Vulture buddies and make some “deposits” on the splendid redwood decks of these rude horsey-folk…
Moving on…I was unfortunately unable to attend the Johnnie Winter show at The Navarro Store last Friday evening but Hummingbird, who was relaxing on the deck at The Nest, tells me she could hear most of the set quite clearly and she was nearly two miles away – it was a good show and she saved herself $50!...Talking of gigs in The Deep End, at the recent performance by The Smoke Detectors”, along with several other attendants, I was very concerned to see the house very nearly “brought down”, literally, when a very large-breasted Valley woman, with beer in hand, attempted to “move-and-groove” with one of the main poles supporting the huge tent over the stage. The air was not as charged with eroticism as one may have thought – she was far from sober and talking to herself, intimating that her boyfriend was not paying her enough attention. She clearly decided to show him, and those unfortunate to be close by, what he was missing and that he was surplus to requirements. Despite her thrusting gyrations, and being soaked with beer, the pole stood firm, although there was certainly a wobble or two…You’ll be no doubt pleased to know that all was well by the end of the set when the couple could be observed entwined lovingly together on the dance floor, sweating profusely, each with a beer in hand, whilst the wiped down tent pole appeared to be none the worse for its experience…
This just in from my top political reporter, Balding Eagle, on the campaign trail with The Onion Weekly newspaper…’Less than four weeks after introducing to the nation her developmentally disabled newborn and her 19-year-old son preparing for military service in Iraq, Republican vice presidential nominee and conservative Christian woman Sarah Palin recently delivered a speech flanked by three heretofore-unknown relatives, including a naturalized Mexican half brother, a formerly lesbian niece, and a New York City firefighter cousin who saved several lives during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. "John McCain and I will take on the Washington establishment and give the government back to the people," said Palin, who several times gave the "thumbs-up" sign to her African-American coal-miner uncle seated in the audience. "We envision a better and brighter future for hardworking, selfless Americans like Guillermo, Anne, and Ted here." Palin has a campaign stop scheduled next week in Texas, where she is expected to introduce her stepsister Linda, a $35 barrel of offshore-drilled crude oil wrapped in an American flag.’
And finally this week I have received the very pleasing news from the Independent Career Women’s group here in the Valley that one of the recipients of their scholarships, Yutsel Garcia, did “the right thing” and attended a recent meeting to thank the women for their generous financial donation that will be put towards her college fees. Hopefully many of the other graduates have done the same, or soon will do, and thereby show their gratitude to the respective Valley individuals/groups who contribute towards the cost of their studies…Meanwhile, may I say, “Well done, Yutsel, I believe you will go far”…
Well now I think it’s time to take my leave…Be careful out there, remember to keep your windows cracked if you have pets in your vehicle, think good thoughts, and may your god go with you…Oh, and of course, one final request, “Let us prey”…Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture…
P.S. “Good morning, elle gee, how’s the Boonville Hotel garden look today?”
