Mayoral Forum Online

KVPT has the Mayoral Forum from April 2, 2008 and May12, 2008 online.

I am so excited!

I was sitting at the light at Kings Canyon and Peach this morning and I noticed something wonderful. At the south/west corner of the intersection there was a sign that said WinCo and CVS will be coming soon. The lot also had trucks that were working and level, clean ground! I have heard such good things about CVS from people who live by them so I am stoked. I already love WinCo so this all is a win-win!

Possible Local Treasure

Thanks to a find today, I have discovered a possible local treasure. Boba Cabana is a local coffee house across the street from Fresno State's stadium on Barstow. They have free WiFi available, so right there that is a great asset. They also will give you a free drink on your birthday if you just show them you birthday on your ID. Now, I haven't tried them yet so for all I know it may stink but I think it is worth checking out! I will report back when I have more info.

Get Your Shred On!

So now that tax season is over it is time to celebrate. But all my shredding I have to do is in the way of my happy dance. You know what I mean, all of last years power bills, credit cards statements and the taxes that have now aged out of storage. But, if you are like us you only have a little shredder with a little bin. So about this time of year a spend a few hours shredding and bagging, ugh. Well, Central Valley Community Bank is holding FREE mobile shredding services around the valley. You are limited to 6 banker boxes per person or business. I even called to see if it was going to be in the parking lot so I could pull up and leave the kids in the car. They said it is but the kids might want to get out and watch it shred. The man who comes out even has a camera so you can actually watch it shred. So you can get ride of you personal papers and entertain the kids all at once!

So here are the details but every location will be 9-noon the appointed day:

May 20, 2008 at the Sunnyside Office (570 S. Clovis Ste 101, (559)323-3400)
May 29, 2008 at the Herndon and Fowler Office(1795 Herndon Ave Ste 101 (559)323-2200)

Fresno County 5th District Supervisor Race

So I am predicting that the 5th District Supervisor race is going to get mighty interesting. In the interest of full disclosure, I know Nathan Magsig's wife from MOPS but that won't blind me. But between know Julie (and meeting her husband briefly on many occasions) and this being my district I am very intrigued as to how this all is going to be going down. I have been hearing for a while that this is going to be a bit of the old school versus new school but I am not sure how it is going to shake out.

I am interested to see who Waterson ends up endorsing. Though Magsig definitely came out on top on the bookshelf comparison with Poochigian. I would take Drucker for inspiration for leadership over Seuss any day. Though Seuss has his place in politics too;).

Fresno County: Superintendent Training Ground?

I saw an interesting phenomena mentioned in Friday's Fresno Bee. Apparently 5 area superintendents are leaving their positions at the end of the school year. 3 are retiring but 2 are just relocating. A couple things about it strike me as odd. I find it all that all 5 are leaving in one period. I also find the 2 that are moving on just curious. It seems around here that people who get to this level are local yocals and stick around for ever. Are we getting a new type of head honcho? I know that some former FSUD supers are/were up for bigger areas. Maybe it is just that I was raised in Clovis and people seem to be here forever;).
