Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - May 2017

There are raindrops on the decks and the sky is dark surrounding the large redwoods outside of my cozy cyber-hut. I have received reports of up to 170” from various Cazadero locales and am astounded by the sheer volume of rain that we have all received to date! The result is mixed: yes, the water levels are up for all of us who rely on wells, but the hillsides are now saturated and what goes up must come down! CalTrans and other local agencies will be working on our crumbling roads and the prolific landslides are fearsome! I am gratified to know that the detour of traffic off of Hwy#1 will not occur on Ft. Ross Rd. and Cazadero Highway, except in the case of emergency.

The school year continues at the Montgomery Elementary School and 8th grade graduation will be in June. I will have more M.E.S. info in the next issue of the Gazette. You may call the school office at 632-5221 for up to date events.

Please come to the next meeting of the Cazadero Community Club to be held on Tuesday, May 2nd-7 p.m. at Firehall #1. Kim Gluch has agreed to be the Club President for this current term and will be training new Vice President Maureen Berry (Club Treasurer) to take over next year. Susan Moll will continue as the very capable secretary. All are welcome to help plan events which benefit the entire community.

I want to thank and commend Club members Linda Baswell and Bonnie Chase for clearing trash from Cazadero Highway. Let’s all try to make their job obsolete!

As an avid Public Library user, I applaud the soon-to-be-restored Monday hours! The libraries are especially important for our many rural communities and offers up a myriad of services to all card holders.

As Spring progresses, so do our many projects. Cazadero Supply offers its 1st Saturday 15% Discount day, with an incredible assortment of yard, household and vehicle items to assist you.

Raymond’s Bakery features their Friday Pizza and Music Nights, plus has a presence at many Farmer’s Markets with their delectable baked goods.

Both the Cazadero and Duncans Mills General Stores have daily grocery items and many local specialties, including wine, meat and fish, bread and soaps.

The CazSomona Inn will re-open for Mother’s Day and will probably have music and arts events throughout the warm months. Visit their website atwww.cazsonoma.com for more info.
