May 2026
5.15.26 We got Barbara Lynn Bareuther back to Humboldt yesterday. She is now a "Ward of the State" thanks to the various participants. Happy Memorial Day! More to come!!!
January 2026
1.7.26 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Looks like Carl De Maio is bringing some heat to the game for Democrats. "FINALLY Trump Orders Fraud Investigation of California" When the cat's away the mice/rats will play. Lookout here comes the Cat!
Also: RIP Sharon's Dad Ron Jenkins. It's been a tough suffering year for him and the family. California healthcare failed poor Ron. About 20 years of skin cancer and not a single visit or referral to an oncologist. Ron died suddently after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. He had it everywhere but no help for all those years. Like Barbara. He was a Californian who did everything right.
and: I would like to thank Michelle Bushnell for being a top notch representative for Humboldt County. Her and Rex Bohn have been ready for action when the emergency happens. There will be many more earthquakes around here as we live on a fault.
Also: Looks like we are continuing into a couple more court dates in February for Ms. Georgetown Law.
Finally: 2026 Yay! It's gotta be better than 2025. We have plenty of work to do. Getterdone!
December 2025
12.1.25 Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! Projects currently outperforming time this year. We just put big bucks into a new roof for The Rio Dell Times studio. Thanks to Alves Roofing for the work and the SBA for the loan. Our poor 1915 era house has never had it so good. We were in horredndous shape. Four layers of comp and haphazard plywooding mixed with the original shakes. 14 Guys got here done and no more leaking. Hoooah!!!!
Also: Ouch to. Ms. Georgetown Law Looks like she is going to be back in court again in 2026 with yet another continuance.
and: the balls are ready but we haven't made the time to try Rio Dell's fancy new Bocce court. It looks like a fine playing field. I am quite competitive and I just love hurling balls among other things. We will have to get the camera and mics down there and get some action shots.
Finally: Kier Starmer is still a Wanker
September 2025
9.3.25 Money money money. Rio Dell gets state grant for finishing our ADA accessible trail head. Yay! Those stairs there suck!!! It's a welcome 1.2 million dollar grant.
Also: Check out what a supermajority looks like in our front page video with good ole "Cut the Mic" Gail Pellerin. They have a great lockstep to shut down anyone not in their club. The math doesn't lie- If you aren't a Democrat in California then you don't deserve to be represented according to Governor Newsom and his toadies.
Finally how about some world news. Apparently Kier Starmer is Wanker
August 2025
8.4.25 Illness Abounds with our licensed drone pilot Shauna. Big bummer as we were hoping to get Wildwood Days with our Eye in the Sky. Maybe next year. That will give that new Bocce Court some break-in time. The granite surface is supercool. We do have some great ground level media that will get published eventually.
Also: Ouch to. Ms. Georgetown Law. To put it to actual words might be a Sin. This is one of those places that we can just play the imagination game. In my honest opinion this last Thursday was a quite humiliating day for You Know Who in Court Sharon really nailed it! It's amazing the latitude Ms. Georgtown Law is given in the Humboldt Superior Court. While frustrating, it is also revealing of something deeper going on. Imagine a barrel full of fruit. It's so sweet and lovely on top but some rot got in with the good and you don't see it. I think you all know the rest...
July 2025
7.31.25 Wildwood Days!!!
It's time to party in Rio Dell!
7.11.25 Tick tock goes the clock. Looks to be a shiney rebuild of Rio Dell's Bocce Court Soon. Great idea on the drain pipes. We can't wait to give it a whirl... "Ctrl + Scrollwheel" == Scale page for Windows. Our Bocce balls are ready for rolling!
June 2025
6.30.25 Hello Mr. "F" did you make it here yet? Nice to hear from you. Semper Fi
May 2025
5.8.25 TGIF! Check out our video of the SB (311) Grove currently featured on our front page. Woah! It's lock step with the California Legislature. How many Mothers will be raped by transexuals in lockup this Mother's Day? What about Moms with dementia in nursing homes? Maybe Ms. Georgetown Law would like answer that one.
Also: Mmmmm Bread of life. Sharon's got it down. We will get recipes etc. together for publishing as we can.
Finally: Big CalFire meeting coming up for the new headquarters in Rio Dell. This is a great addition to the community. That brings $$$ Mooola! Maybe some great fire protection too. We will get the media and publish in our already mighty archive. The numbers look... GREAT!!!
March 2025
3.31.25 The Most Immediate Threat to Medicaid/Medi-Cal in California (audio) - Opinion by Sharon Wolff
3.30.25 Sourdough bread from scratch Mmmmmmm. Sharon has nailed the "Recipe" We will try and get a nice
Video about it all as we are able. The studio remains mothballed unitl I get some better weather. April showers bring May flowers.
Also: We got some good Congressman Huffman media today. That we will be publishing. He is our Federal guy in the house. We need his help for our County. Love him or hate him. He's our guy...
Finally: Woah! hole in the roof at Palco? Is that fir? It doesn't look like redwood in the video. Too bad, it would have not failed. I can tell you from the experiance of living in a 1915 redwood house. It doesn't rot! Quite amazing really. A piece of Douglas Fir will rot away in about 5 years if its touching the ground.
Back to the races...
3.10.25 Modern Medicine: Time Flies when you have heart disease. Not me Steve, but my Father In Law. Would you believe at 87 you can get a new heart valve and lease on life? Woah! A lot of trauma and drama but in the end modern medicine made the grade. The lesson here for our students of logic is don't ignore a failing heart valve. The surgery was mininmally invasive. Apparently the doctor that does them in Santa Barbara does 4 a day. Just get it done if you need it!
Daughter of California: I am going to continue running "The Stolen Purse" video on our front page for a bit longer. At the point of the video we still had no clue as to what was actually going on behind closed doors.
February 2025
2.5.25 Welcome to new Rio Dell Police Chief Joshua Phinney.
January 2025
1.26.25 Tick Tock goes the clock. Looks like our Blue Collar Trucker friends are getting a big nevermind from the city on the recent bruhaha over parking big trucks. Sharon will be publishing another story on this local debacle soon.
also: Rio Dell Times is baking sourdough bread from scratch and you should too. A Big thanks to my Mother == Carolyn who is also a California Girl just like Barbara. She gifted us a nice breadknife and slicer as well as a razor for scoring the top. When we get it all figured out we'll make a how to video specific to Rio Dell California. Sharon has found that for your starter a heatmat and thermometer are essential. It's cold and we have some baking right now Mmmmm.
Note: On Day Two the chickens are still unable to peck the bottom crust on a recent loaf but new hope is rising...get it, rising... :-)
Finally: Backyard chicken lover's. Chick season comes soon. One thing that thrills Mom and the kids is baby chick's. I think it takes about 3 to 4 months and then your getting your own eggs and you know what goes into them.
1.1.25 Happy New Year! 2025 looks to be a bumpy ride. So many issues on deck locally, nationally and globally.
