Elder: Thanks to those helping with 'Movies in the Park'

I would like to give a special thanks to Hardester's Market, the Middletown Area Merchants Association, Tanya at Star Gardens, the Boy Scouts and our District Supervisor Jim Comstock for supporting “Movies in the Park” in Middletown.

Everyone worked very hard to make it happen.

I would also like to thank all of the good folks in the Middletown area for their generosity, for their typical community spirit and for making a HUGE showing last Saturday night!

It was a truly magical night for me and I was really "feeling the love" that we all share for each other.

We had a few glitches on our maiden voyage and the entire group pulled together (like they always do) and made it work.

I hope that this event will continue to grow and I look forward to our next movie on Aug. 8.

So many thanks to everyone.

Marlene Elder lives in Middletown, Calif.

Brandon: A monumental celebration

On Saturday morning I had the thrilling experience of watching the sun rise over a national monument – from my own house!

By creating the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, President Obama has assured that the extraordinary biological diversity at the wild heart of the Inner Coast Range will be protected forever.

Its remarkable geology, ancient cultural resources, outstanding recreational opportunities, dramatic scenic vistas – all of these wonders will be protected forever.

In building his own conservation legacy the president is also doing something much more momentous: he is establishing a legacy for our children and grandchildren and everyone who comes after them.

This achievement is truly cause for jubilation, and for gratitude for the leadership and vision shown by the president, Senators Boxer and Feinstein, Congressmen Thompson, Garamendi and Huffman, state Senators Wolk and McGuire, Assemblymembers Dodd, Wood and Levine, and all the local elected officials, businesses, organizations and individuals who have made this long-cherished objective a reality.

Please join me in sending a message of thanks by clicking the link at the top of the Sierra Club Redwood Chapter home page, www.sierraclub.org/redwood .
