Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - January 2018

It is soon after the Solstice, the official beginning of Winter and a chilly day. The view from my cosy cyber-hut shows tall redwoods against the partially sunny and overcast sky.

I hope that you all had wonderful Chanukah and Christmas celebrations and are now ready for the New Year of 2018!! In our little corner of the world we strive to support each other, including in emergencies and by shopping locally.

The new Caz Central store in downtown Cazadero is an example of a very interesting shop which features unique items created by our neighbors! Both the Duncans Mills andCazadero General Stores offer daily groceries and specialty items, Mr Trombly’s Tea and Table stores in Duncans Mills is also owned by a Cazaderan, plus the sweet shop Toys and treats, next to the Duncans Mills General store and the terrific Gold Coast Coffee shop and bakery.

I had the bittersweet pleasure of celebrating the life of dear friendMichael Tuggle – local poet and intense lover of his family, who passed from this life on Father’s Day, 2017. His wonderful family members and extended family of friends gave Michael a cosmic send-off, with heartfelt stories, poems and general good feelings!

We are blessed in west county with many talented writers, musicians, actors, painters, sculptors and cooks. Mike Tuggle’s recent bookThe Motioning In is available – call 865 9536 to order one. To get a copy of Sashana Kane Proctor’s recent bookCave of the Casting Bones please call 6325761.

Here is what’s happening at the Montgomery Elementary School for January, 2018. Students will be getting back in the swing of the daily routines as they return to school from their two week Winter break on Monday, January 8th. There will be a school holiday on the following Monday, January 15th, for Martin Luther King’s birthday.
