Supervisor Nathan Magsig admits to faults with his poll on potentially changing the name of Squaw Valley because of its offensive echoes.
The results of the flawed poll was very decisive, though, as he mentions in this video clip.
Top 3 suggestions if it has to change were Bear Mountain, Bear Valley, and Dunlap Extension.
Dept. of Interior suggested Yokuts Valley.
One speaker here today blamed “woke insanity” for any belief that the word “squaw” might be offensive.
He challenged everybody to find a single dictionary entry indicating any offensiveness.
So I did a Google search.
First answer seems it offensive.
I’m sensing a lot of anxiety in Mariposa about the deaths of Jonathan Gerrish, Ellen Chung, their 1-year-old daughter, and their dog on a hiking trail in August.
Not knowing the cause of death has people speculating about nearby dangers.

They were in a very hot Devil’s Gulch valley on a 110-degree day.
Made it most of the way around Hite Cove Trail.
They were found about 1.5 miles from their vehicle.

Black-owned Clovis store, Just My Essentials, was vandalized overnight. @ClovisPolice_CA are now investigating.
“BLM” crossed out, N-bombs marked instead, and products taken and destroyed.
@ClovisPolice_CA Owner Chanel Wapner says she's the *only* Black store owner in the @OldTownClovis area and this isn't the first time she's been a target for hatred.
And for the people who seem so eager to accuse the victim of this crime... (there were a lot on Facebook pretty quickly.)
She reported this to police.
Filing a false report is a crime.
Her husband is a criminal defense attorney.
They know the law.
This isn’t faked.
The Bad News Bears #Yankees are back, but keeping it close despite creating a quick strike 1st inning 3-run rally for Miami, terrible fielding, and only 6 baserunners in 6 innings, 2 of whom were erased by double plays.
7 baserunners in 7 innings, 3 of whom were erased by doubles plays.
So essentially, 4 baserunners in 7 innings and it’s still a game they could win by turning one of those DPs into an HR in these last couple innings.
But would the #BadNewsBears#ScrantonYankees do that?

Confusing Tuesday update from the state.
They have Fresno County meeting the metrics to get out of purple.
Awesome, right?
Caveat #1: A county needs to do it two weeks in a row to change tiers.
Caveat #2: Check the stat I circled.
(1/2)
It doesn’t match the state’s own data for the raw number of new cases per day in this county, and by a significant enough margin to keep us from qualifying for the red tier this week.
I’m not working @ABC30 today, but I’m about to ask Dr. Rais Vohra for details.
Dr. Vohra confirms we've met the metrics for moving from purple to red.
Need to do it one more week.
I'll ask about the discrepancy when I can.
