100 years of Amador
Alumni, students and the community at-large are ready to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Amador Valley High School, with the organizing committee hard at work planning the festivities set for Sept. 14-16.
The celebration will begin with a wine-and-cheese reception on Sept. 14 at the Museum on Main, which will be displaying an exhibit highlighting Amador over the years. An original painting of the historic Amador building by Miles Santos (class of 2015) will be auctioned off in a combination live and digital auction.
A downtown parade will follow on the afternoon of Sept. 15, featuring the 350-member Amador marching band and other floats and entrants, with Pleasanton natives Juliette Goodrich and Brad Kinney performing announcer duties. The procession will wrap up in time for people to enjoy the Pigskin Kickoff before the Amador football game.
Prior to the parade and evening festivities that Friday, tours of the campus will be offered to those who register beforehand.
On Sept. 16, the Amador Friends of Music will sponsor the Centennial Pancake Breakfast on the high school quad. The event from 8:30-11 a.m. will feature music from the school’s band and the Amador Alumni Band, as well as salutes from other Dons’ departments and clubs.
Some classes are holding reunions over the anniversary weekend too.

South Livermore Valley Area Plan review
The Alameda Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has released the draft report on its South Livermore Valley Area Plan Special Study for public comment and review.
“The report has been commissioned to provide objective information and data that may better inform deliberations and potential future policy decisions pertaining to the South Livermore Valley area through the support of agricultural preservation policies and the extension of municipal services,” LAFCO officials said.
Comments must be submitted by Aug. 11 to be considered in the development of the final report, officials said. LAFCO is on track to consider final adoption at either its September or November meeting. To view the report and submit comments online, go to www.alamedalafco.org.
The LAFCO website also now features a draft report of the agency’s initial feasibility analysis of potential incorporation of the unincorporated communities of Castro Valley, Ashland, Cherryland, San Lorenzo, Fairview and Hayward Acres. Public comments will be accepted for the final report by Aug. 11.
