Courthouse closed, two weeks of the red tier, smoke in Anderson Valley

November 10, 2020 — Not quite half the ballots from the recent election have been counted, assuming all of Mendocino County’s 53,651 voters participated.
Both courthouses in Ukiah and Fort Bragg will be closed all week, due to two unrelated covid exposures last week.
And if you see smoke in Anderson Valley tomorrow, chances are it’s the Anderson Valley Fire Department conducting a training burn at Gowan’s Orchard in Philo, starting at 8am. The site is ten acres of fallow field bordered by Hendy Woods State Park and the Navarro River.
Mendocino County has now been in the red tier for fourteen consecutive days, after which schools will have the option of reopening to in-person instruction.
And as the year winds down, the Board of Supervisors is asking for detailed financial information and priorities from the Measure B Citizens Oversight Committee.
