Two months ago in the September 25, 2015, edition of the Press-Banner, I appealed to my friends and the people of the San Lorenzo and ScottsValley on behalf of my daughter, Nicole Poduru. She was clinging to life in a Boise hospital as a result of a major stroke suffered just four days after her graduation from law school.

If you haven't made it to the last few work days, now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their community theater. We have the demolition of a wall and ceiling to finish. Four of us got the lower stuff done and with your help we can finish the job that involves scaffolding. So, come and get high on a theater work day this Saturday, November 7.

Our mother, a Mount Hermon resident, came to the United States 66 years ago. For 66 years, she has been opening her door to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.

Felton is getting ready for a party to celebrate the acquisition of land for a new Felton library as well as for outdoor community use, and you’re all invited!

Friends of Hospice thank all of those from the ScottsValley community for supporting the 32nd Oktoberfest at the Community Center on Sunday, Oct. 4th. It was an amazing event that included live and silent auctions, delicious German food, beer from Discretion Brewing and festive music.

It was so great to see the Press Banner highlighting all the artists who are showed in the San LorenzoValley for Open Studios on October 3 and 4.
