Four arrested in AmCan murder By MARSHA DORGAN Register Staff Writer Monday, February 26, 2007 10:10 a.m. Sheriff’s detectives have arrested four teenagers in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy at an American Canyon birthday party last month. Three 17-years-old boys from Vallejo...

I think gloprincess has given you ideas that are a little more catering to the younger youth in the area. If the target is more the "teen" I have a couple of suggestions, and this post is not to say her ideas could not be incorporated into the event. Contact the high and middle schools reg...

It doesnt take long to read the posts on this site as to who is supporting who in AC. Concerned AC Resident...this site may be a little too negative for you. (It use to be much worse) You are new in a community that has been controlled by a few...for years. Once someone who thought that the best int...

AmCan should wait By Times-Herald readers Article Launched: 02/22/2007 07:31:35 AM PST The American Canyon City Council needs more office and meeting space and is contemplating purchasing the newly completed office building at Napa Junction Road and Highway 29. I would strongly suggest that any acti...

Tonight, as usual, I went to Safeway to pick up a quick meal...I was handed a yellow slip of paper from a teen that was requesting certain products to help less fortunate residents in Napa Valley. Personally, I was moved to think these kids were out there for a very worthy cause. I bought my groceri...

One word: Nit-wits!!!

ac94503

Well, as I said, "Business as usual in AC". I hope you guys know what you are doing, I would love to be wrong. Also, Cindy thank you for standing up for what you believe and I'm sorry the support was not there for you tonight. One last comment, as a resident for 20 something years I have o...

According to this article the price tag in 2 weeks has gone to $9 million with the improvements that would be required for this building to serve the City. For less than the estimated improvements an 8,000 square foot building could be built next to the existing City Hall. Council weighs options for...

Ignoring the public’s right to know Tuesday, February 13, 2007 If you can’t handle the rules, you shouldn’t play the game. Last Friday marked the latest deadline for candidates to turn in campaign finance documents to elections authorities. The documents are required to show money spent between Oct....

De-ja vue! I find the timing of this article very interesting. Wonder why the Register decided to research this now?

Also, a question...Mayor Garcia collected more than he spent. What happens with this extra $1,741?

ac94503

Just for the hell of it ... What is our identity in Napa Valley?

Canyonites, AmCanners????

I had never heard (until recently) that people from Napa were called "Napkins". I love it!

So what name should we recognize as our own?

Any suggestions???

ac94503

VicRiv,

Sorry, but it is time to put egos aside!

I think the purchase of this building for whatever City purposes is probably already a "done deal". So I guess we can say..."Business as usual in AC"... Just My Opinion.

ac94503

I hate to say it but...I do believe that there is not a current Council Member that is qualified (based on their prior experience) to make this decision. I am not qualified to make this decision either and glad it is not my responsibility. Regardless of Mr. Maguire's suit...I hope all of you will re...

ac94503

Besides the property tax expense what about an estimate on the leasehold improvements once this building is occupied. Are we just going to set up tables and folding chairs in a new location or are their plans to create a council chamber with a more permanent appearance? How about the expense for a s...

ac94503

Now I'm curious, VicRiv...What group were you representing when you met with the City Manager and who asked you. Also, what other residents were invited to participate in this meeting prior to the Council Meeting and what was their feedback as far as the options presented.

ac94503

I didn't catch the entire meeting but after reading Dan Judge's article in yesterday's paper I would like to know why a remodel of the current City Hall could not be done. The old drive-thru for West America Bank should be removed and the building could be extended onto the adjacent lot. If you look...

AmCan may buy Cabernet Village for City Hall By KERANA TODOROV, Register Staff Writer Saturday, February 03, 2007 Cabernet Village, a two-story office building near Napa Junction, could house American Canyon's City Hall one day. The City Council voted unanimously Thursday to consider either acquirin...

Cindy,

You Rock!

Hope your feeling better.

ac94503

I have lived here for many years and rarely agreed with Paulette Griffin... Tonight, I agree. "I don't like the location at all!" The City has always asked for respect...The Council should stay where they are until they can build their own facility or relocate to a place that is designated...

After reading ACPD Warrington's post, I probably should have specified...
GUNS in the WRONG HANDS...KILL!

ac94503

With such a tragedy in our community this really is not a time to keep quiet. It is a time to make suggestions as to what all of us, as residents, can do to keep another family from having to endure the years of heartbreak facing the Gee family.

ac94503

Definitely a tragedy in AC. I have read the articles and posts on the Napa Register site. I hope the Napa Sheriff's Investigators will be able to find the responsible individual(s) quickly. These unpredictable acts of violence are so frequent lately in our neighboring cities that I guess I thought w...

ac94503

I also read the article about the "Code of Ethics" in the Times Herald. That is (according to the article ) a very small part of a document that needs much discussion prior to being approved. In fact, if I remember correctly, there will be many meetings or workshops before this document wi...

ac94503

I know Barry quite well. He is dedicated to his open space movement in AC. I think the article in the Vallejo Times Herald showed a man with a "passion" for what he and others find important for the future of AC regarding recreational opportunities. He does his homework and is extremely in...

ac94503

Victor, The reason I remembered your post is that I agree with your statement: "Most frustrating, is in my daily work routine I am results driven-and the slow movement of the city's bureaucracy leaves me feeling frustrated and stifled." I do not have the patience for long drawn out discuss...

ac94503

Am I the only one that remembers this post by VicRiv after his so-called "buttgate" remark? VicRiv Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cindy, I appreciate your comments and support. When the attendance issue came up-I ch...

ac94503

Vic Riv? I thought you had other obligations that required you to resign from the Parks and Rec Commission ? So I am somewhat surprised that you would want to serve as a Planning Commissioner for the next several years? My understanding is that a Planning Commissioner position requires more time tha...

ac94503

I would just like to make a suggestion regarding the updating of the infrastructure in AC during the next several years. Do we have to dig up all of the roads in AC at the same time? I feel the public works dept needs to finish one project before starting another. Right now between the City and Calt...

ac94503

I find it interesting that very few people post on this site any more. What happened to Mr. Maguire, Minding City Business, Meadows Guy... I found this site (in the past) very educational as far as what was important to many in AC. Is it the WalMart suit that has shut everyone up? As I have said in ...

ac94503

Today I decided to cross the highway and check out what is on the other side. Not much! The apts that were built may be beautiful inside but they are still apts and very expensive at that! The Visitor Center had approx 3 cars in the lot...The flower shop was closed ...Laff's gifts was not open and l...

I found it interesting that the reprint of the Register's Letter to the Editor that appeared last week has been altered in today's Times Hearld. There is no mention of Stacy Su. Also, it states that the author lives in AC.

ac94503

I'm wondering if anyone has been to the "new steak house" at NV Visitor Center. I also would like to know what the price range is and were you happy with your meal? I'm looking for more of a variety of food in AC and would appreciate your opinion.

ac94503

I read the letter that you are referring to and found it to be the best letter written that I have read from the "pro-walmart" side of this issue. I would love to hear a response from the other side, who I would assume is Stacy Su? I will be perfectly honest in my observation here: Stacy i...

ac94503

I received a very thought provoking email from Mr. West.

I would like to thank him for his response.

ac94503

Mr. West, I would really appreciate it if you could share why you feel demonstrators against the war in Iraq disrespect your son's memory. You more than anyone could enlighten us. I have read before that people cannot support the troops if they do not believe in the president's plan for Iraq. I have...

ac94503

I don't know about you but if I can go to Safeway and buy a quart of Ice Cream for $3.00...I am not interested in paying $6.00 for a cone! I personally am not surprised! Isn't this what the Chamber of Commerce is suppose to be all about? Bring business into this area that the residents will support?...

ac94503

I am very pleased by the responses to this thread. I recognize several of you that have been posting on this site for the last several years and it was nice to know we could share a little more about ourselves than the usual banter that seems to run a-muck at times. I feel we all are more "alik...

I have lived in AC for over 21 yrs. Why I moved here? We could use the VA loan (Vietnam Vet) and buy an affordable home for ourselves and 2 children. (What we were "suppose" to do.) This area has so much more to offer today than I could have ever imagined. It was soooo behind the times 21 ...

I was unaware of this meeting until I got home tonight and read this article. AmCan to have special city council meeting By Times-Herald staff Article Launched: 12/27/2006 06:53:18 AM PST AMERICAN CANYON - The City Council will consider the following items during a specially scheduled meeting at 6:3...

I have a question about the "Tree" sculpture behind the Council (that I see on TV) during the meetings. Who's names are on that tree? How does someone qualify to be on this tree? I think it is a beautiful piece of art and have always wondered what qualifies an individual to be recognized o...

I for one would like you to become more involved in American Canyon politics, and I'm sure there are many others that feel the same way. Thank you for such an inspiring letter. We all can be heroes By MATT POPE Wednesday, December 20, 2006 6:08 AM PST Sept. 11 has been on my heart a lot la...

AmCan pastor accepts post at San Quentin By MICHAEL WATERSON NVP Services Monday, December 18, 2006 6:09 AM PST Morris Curry, a longtime fixture of civic and religious life in American Canyon, announced this week that he has stepped down as pastor of Hosanna Life Renewal Christian Fellowship Church ...

ac94503

I will agree with one thing that you pointed out...Victims! I feel that the people that need support and prayer are those that have suffered at the hands of Pastor Curry's new clientele. I have no sympathy for them. And if there is a God...too late to repent in my book! Would like to hear others opi...

ac94503

VicRiv, "For the first time in 21 years, I know what it's like to really pastor," he said. So what has he been doing in AC for 21 yrs if not "pastoring"? Sorry you find my post negative, but I found his statement offensive to the many residents that listened to his weekly sermons...

ac94503

Well, I guess you have to do what you have to do to keep a "captive" audience... AmCan pastor finds new calling as prison chaplain AMERICAN CANYON - Longtime pastor and community activist Morris Curry Jr. has resigned the leadership of his church to become a full-time chaplain at San Quent...

Maybe more people would Stop if they knew how much it is going to cost them. A co-worker recently did not come to a complete stop at a sign on Elliott (right in front of the Sheriff's office). Her fine is over $500.00 not to mention what it will cost to attend a driving class so her insurance will n...

I have never witnessed so many offenders of running "STOP" signs than in Safeway's parking lot! I noticed that the AC police have recently slowed down the traffic on Rio del Mar in the morning commute (thank you) but Safeway's lot is an accident waiting to happen. As you come out of Jack i...

ac94503

Vic Riv, I want to make sure I did not mis-understand the grant given to the "youth" of AC. Kids that are 24? I think the adult age now a days is 18 yrs. old. So, with that said who exactly is 24 yrs old and possibly taking advantage of money allocated to a "youth" program? Pleas...

ac94503

I read this article (that VicRiv posted today) yesterday in the paper... I do have one question... The ages of the recipients seems so wide spread...14-24 yrs old. That concerns me. Couldn't these projects been divided into groups of 14-18 yrs old and 19 to 24yrs old? A 10 yr spread seems (for lack ...
