The Cloverdale Unified School District has put Measure H, a general obligation bond measure, on the Nov. 6 ballot, which will authorize the sale of up to $46 million in bonds to the district. If approved, the bond money will go toward improving school facilities, modernizing classrooms and replacing deteriorating plumbing, amongst other things. (See sidebar for a list of projects that would be authorized to be financed by the bond.)

On the Nov. 6 ballot, there will be six candidates vying for three spots on the Cloverdale City Council. The city council election comes around every other year and is on a rotating election schedule (of the five council spots, two were elected during the last city council election and three are being elected this year); during the 2016 election, Councilmembers Melanie Bagby and Mary Ann Brigham were voted into office.

WALKING FOR WATER — The Cloverdale High School Key Club hosted its first annual Save the Rain-Bow Color Blast on Sept. 15. According to Key Club Advisor Sue Cummins, the blast had a total of 21 volunteers (from the Kiwanis Club, Key Club and Builders Club) and 64 participants. Blast attendees of all ages ran, walked and jogged their way through stations of colored cornstarch. The Key Club raised approximately $1900, which will go toward bringing clean water to 125 children in Africa.

In Sonoma County and all across California, cannabis companies that don’t have permits from Sacramento have received cease and desist orders over the past six months. Those companies have had a choice: fill out the forms, submit them to the authorities and pay the fees, or face loss of property and fines.

Sonoma County is no stranger to cannabis, and the passing of Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), has opened the doors for approved, state-licensed facilities to commercially sell, distribute and produce marijuana for its recreational consumers.
