Dan EvansDan EvansIf you happened to be driving past our office last week, you might have seen the lights on later than usual. You might have noticed a few clusters of people gathered around the newsroom entrance or overheard snippets of conversation about housing, traffic or BottleRock. No, we weren't putting the paper to bed - we were welcoming in the community. The gathering was casual but heartfelt. Some folks stopped by to say thanks for a story we'd published or a reporter they admired.

The board of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley has removed Greg Bouillerce as its executive director, naming longtime club leader Jaime Gallegos as interim head. Reached late Friday afternoon, Bouillerce, who led the Napa County nonprofit for nearly five years, declined to go into details as to what led to the change. He was named executive director in August 2020 after serving as director of operations of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Helena and Calistoga.

I squinted through the bug-splattered windshield of my Mini Cooper as I entered Pismo Beach, the Pacific Ocean on my right, the cracked asphalt of Highway 101 below. I looked down at the odometer. Almost time. I took the next exit, winding through that tiny San Luis Obispo County town, its curving streets and overall architecture in fitful harmony with the coastline that could swallow it at any moment. I stopped and took a photo of the mileage: 92129.

Dan EvansDan EvansSaturday night, I found myself in a Los Angeles ballroom packed with elegantly dressed reporters and editors, many of whom were dusting off those suit-and-tie combos for a rare appearance. The occasion? The annual California Journalism Awards, hosted by the California News Publishers Association, where hundreds of journalists from across the state gathered to toast the best in the business.
