After years of controversy, mismanagement, incompetence, tens of millions of unaccountable pot permit fees and tax dollars dumped into the general fund in contradiction to what the voters said they wanted it to go to, many more consultant and permit prep dollars, much frustration (especially by, but not limited to, pot permit applicants), hundreds of useless meetings, lots of lawyers and self-made “consultants,” and frequent managerial turnover, Mendocino County is finally (and ignominiously and quietly) admitting the obvious and giving up on the idea of having an official Cannabis Program Manager.

Meet Rosie! Rosie is a three year old domestic shorthair. In her time at the shelter, this sweet and sassy girl has made great strides to come out of her shell. She likes to stretch her claws on her scratching posts and sleep in her hidey-hole. Rosie has been known to give love bites to her friends when she is happy. Rosie is very treat motivated and will gladly emerge from her naps to partake in a bite to eat. Rosie lived with other cats in her previous home and has done well with other cats at the shelter, but she would doubtless be very comfortable as someone’s only cat. Due to her shy nature, Rosie would likely be best suited for a home without dogs. She has had limited interactions with small children during her time at the shelter. Rosie’s adoption fee is $100.00. Come and meet Rosie today!

PG&E has a conditional OK to drill into Cape Horn Dam on the Eel River, one of two dams in Mendocino County it wants to tear down. The holes will test the dam, the ground under it and the river sediment that has built up behind it, according to records filed with state and federal dam regulators. Cape Horn Dam holds back Van Arsdale Reservoir. An intake 400 feet upstream of the dam takes in Eel River water. The water runs through the Potter Valley Project's tunnels to the East Fork of the Russian River, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. PG&E has asked the commission, known as FERC, to let it give up its license for the project and remove both Cape Horn and Scott dams. It would keep only the parts of Cape Horn needed for a new diversion, the New Eel-Russian Facility. In a May planning document, FERC staff wrote that removing
