From over the Hill . . .
April
14, 2012
You might as well accept that this next week will
be a busy one. At least it will take your mind off having just
paid your property taxes and income taxes!
The
whole week (April
16th to April 21st) is 'Scott Valley
Clean-up Week'. You can find all the information you need
to know (or listen to the podcast which tells the
news) at Serena Travis's Good
Morning Scott Valley site.
You
all know by now that I am big on
'Shop Local', 'Support
Local Musicians and Artisans' and 'Preserve
the Historic ' . . . and you can accomplish all
of those and have a fabulous
time doing it!
Here
you go . . .
the total package . . .
invite family and friends
to join you . . .
Hopefully
you already have your tickets for the Big
Band Fun Concert Thursday night, April
19th, at the historic
Avery Theatre in
Etna. If not, then you better hightail it over to Premier
West Bank in Greenview; Scott Valley Drug in Etna or Scott
Valley Bank in Etna or Ft. Jones and get your tickets ($6
advance) as we expect to be sold out come show-time.
Then . . . on Saturday, April 21st
. . .
Begin
at Scott Valley Feed
in Greenview (or Yreka)
for Springtime festivities. . .

home and take a nap, then head over to the Coffee
Concert at the Ft. Jones Community
Center for music and refreshments,

The
Ft. Jones Church built in 1873, has been used as a Methodist Church
for 139 years. The historic white church sits at the top
of Sterling Street, above the Post Office. As you well know, anywhere
that has been used for Fellowship for that many years has a special
feel to it.
Having
a Methodist Episcopal Church in northern Scott Valley was conceived
by individuals who contributed funds to begin building this church.
Among them were A.J. Goodnoe, A.B Carlock, J.A. Davidson, Rev.
I. Reynolds, J.K. Luttrell, Geo. E. Evans, and many others. The
church was dedicated on June 24, 1874. The cost was $1,600, half
of which was donated throughout the construction, and $500 more
raised at the dedication, with $330 still due at that time.
Over time, there have been many baptisms, marriages, celebrations,
and funerals held in the little church. For this historic
Church to continue to be
a presence in Fort Jones, our support is needed.
If you have ever been to their previous Fund-raisers, Dessert
Auctions or the Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival, then you KNOW
the pies the 'Church Ladies'
make are outstanding.
See
you there . . .
In joy!

it simple
