On a sad note, we have lost a 27-year Wonder Valley
resident. Steve Badders passed away in his sleep on October 1. Our sincere
condolences go out to wife Cathy, daughter Breann and son Kyle. Steve will be
missed in our community.
We want to thank Tim Candelaria for jumping on our
impassable roads so fast after the recent storm. You did a fantastic job, Tim,
and we all really do appreciate it. If you have any issues, comments,
questions, compliments or complaints about our roads, please leave a message
for Tim at 760-367-9880.
Handy Hint: If you’d
like to hide some rolled-up cash for emergencies, pop the end cap off a marker
and remove the ink cartridge – or take apart the spring bar that holds your
toilet paper roll – and stash the cash inside.

perfect season, CBS sold the Yankees to George Steinbrenner’s syndicate for $10
million, the final episode of “Bonanza” was broadcast, Emilie Howell Warner
became the first female commercial airline pilot, the first handheld cellphone
call was made, Federal Express began operations, the U.S. launched its first
space station, the first CAT scan took place in the U.S., the Concorde flew
from Washington DC to Paris in three hours and 32 minutes, “The Godfather” won
Best Motion Picture and “The Waltons” won Outstanding Drama Series.
