Music of the Americas

Last Sunday we enjoyed the music performed by Ron Brickman, Corina Stoian, and Alex Dumitrache at the Rail Road Flat Community Hall. They played a variety of tangos and ragtime and the cookies and lemonade were great. We are looking forward to next month’s Cajun music and BBQ in West Point.

West Point BBQ

We had a good time with friends (old and new) at the West Point Fireman’s BBQ. Mighty tasty chicken and we won a mystery basket that had lots of good stuff in it, a hand knit scarf by Linda Toren, 2 Ansel Adams framed photos, wine, greeting cards made by Eileen Kleinschmidt, and more. They should make the BBQ at least an annual event.

March 22 the tri-tip dinner with the deputies was good food and plenty of it. Deena and I talked with many friends and met many new friends. The music was good, but we didn’t stay for the dancing.

Sheep Ranch Potluck

Last evening Deena and I went to a potluck at the Sheep Ranch Firehouse. We had a great time visiting with our neighbors. We shared food and wine and some very interesting conversations. We helped put away the tables and chairs but we were not the last to leave.

Glencoe/Rail Road Flat

Last night, March 20, as an interested observer I attended the Glencoe/Rail Railroad Flat discussion about the size of the town centers of each community. There were only about 50 people in attendance, but they made some decisions and some progress. I met new people and look forward to further engaging conversations.

Saint Patricks Dinner

Deena and I went to the corned beef & cabbage dinner at the Mountain Ranch Town Hall this evening. I was glad I had called to reserve tickets as the dinner was sold out. It was a delicious dinner and Craig and Pat brought a bottle of their wine to share with our table.

After dinner we played bingo. I had not played bingo for at least 40 years. Many variations were called by Jim Bass, kite, six pack, layer cake, four corners, picture frame, goalpost, and blackout.

We had a great time and look forward to more community events.

The Supervisor Race Gets Crowded

The Stockton Record reports on the Calaveras County Supervisor candidacies.

Morse, 61, said he is running because he disapproves of Wilensky’s decisions, in particular Wilensky’s support for the hiring of Stephanie Moreno as the county’s community development director and of Moreno’s decision to remove former Building Department Director Ray Waller from his job.

Wilensky is out of the area until Feb. 18 and was unavailable for comment Friday.

Morse said home builders he knows complain that it is now more difficult to get approval for projects.

“I will respond to the people and take care of things where I can,” Morse said.

Morse said he does not expect to spend more than a few thousand dollars on his campaign. On Friday, he was wearing a button recycled from the campaign of San Andreas attorney David Studley, who lost to Wilensky in 2004. “MORSE” was written on masking tape that covered the name “Studley.”
