October 26, 2017
Salida Rotary gave the Salida Welcomes You a much needed face lift.
The blue and gold is the national colors of the Rotary, Ripon had recently changed their sign and Salida Rotary soon followed suit.
The sign is paid for and maintained by the Salida Rotary. The new sign is also reflective at night making it visible. Salida Rotary also provides the banners up and down Salida Blvd and all the landscaping along with the sprinklers. Salida Rotary is also planting twenty four new trees in the park this year and provide scholarships for the area high school seniors, youth services clubs at both Salida middle school and Gregori High School, Student speech contest, Salida little league and provide dictionaries for all third graders. Salida Rotary is also reach out internationally. They are great for the community.
Thanks Rotary Club of Salida! Looks nice!

Modesto's short-term sprawl plan
February 3, 2015
Guest reporter for Salida Ca News - Katherine Borges
MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Bee's Kevin Valine hit the mark in his article, “Lots of room for growth in Modesto” when he referred to the amount of Modesto's inventory of vacant land, “The short answer: an awful lot”. The Modesto City Council’s Economic Development Committee presented the updated urban growth review on Monday at the Alliance Center.
Modesto City Planner Patrick Kelly reiterated Valine's comment, “We believe that we would.” in whether there would be plenty of available land for residential units. Despite some infrastructure issues to be resolved in the Tivoli development, city planners estimate the development in northeast Modesto will produce twenty-five units per acre.
But when it comes to available land for business and industrial parks, disagreement arose. Modesto Chamber of Commerce's Craig Lewis, claimed businesses locate in Mountain House and not Modesto because, “Fees in this county and city are way too high.” But Community and Economic Development Director, Brent Sinclair countered, “Mountain House has higher fees.”
Sinclair also reviewed for the committee and members of the public in attendance the various Measure A and M votes that were on the ballot in 2009. These measures are advisory votes cast by the public and all of the 2009 measures in the north and to the west of Modesto received a majority of “No” votes. Despite this, Sinclair pointed out that the City Council can ignore the results of these advisory votes at their discretion. It seemed apparent that this will come to pass when Modesto City Councilwoman Jenny Kenoyer, approached some Wood Colony residents at the meeting to say, “Modesto needs shovel-ready land in order to get companies here.” Kenoyer is either ignoring or ignorant to the fact that neither Wood Colony nor Salida's Community Plan land is anywhere near “shovel-ready”.
And the land they wish to annex from Wood Colony and Salida is not the only land far from being shovel-ready either. Land surrounding Johansen High School reportedly has “issues” and the area known as “Fairview” is lacking water infrastructure. It may end up being ten years or more before this land is ever developed. Will the companies that Kenoyer cites wait that long?
Modesto's Comprehensive General Plan Update is expected to be completed by October 2015.

Salida Community Toy Drive
helps local families.
Meet Denise Parga of Salida,
She moved here three months ago, Denise is originally from Merced, she realized the violence in the area was more then a single mother of ten could handle. She moved to Modesto three years ago, after her 17 year old son was shot, he survived and is doing well. " I realized moving to Modesto, that I had moved from the frying pan right into the fire," Denise said. She then moved to Salida and since feels a lot safer in her community, Denise loves the schools here and said she has found her new home. Her story reaches back to 1998 when her first husband was shot and killed in Las Vegas, he was gambling in one of the casinos and bumped into someone after getting up to leave a slot machine, the person pulled out a gun and shot him. Later Denise met Ray who had children of his own, they soon married and had a blended family. In 2005 just five months after their son was born, Ray was hit and killed by a train. The nightmare had started all over again for Denise. She is now a single mother to ten children, she is raising her late husbands children and was not going to be able to afford Christmas this year. Until she received a phone call from Salida Chamber of Commerce and Salida Rotary that she had been chosen to come down and pick Christmas presents for her five children which are under 18. She will get to pick two toys, one puzzle, and one book for each child, she will also get to pick a game for the entire family. "I would not be able to give my kids Christmas this year and I cannot thank this community enough for their help. All my expenses from moving has taken a toll on me this year," Denise said.
Denise Parga is just one of the several families that will receive gifts this year.

Salida has come together to make a difference in peoples lives and we are very proud of our community.
The toy drive was a HUGE SUCCESS!!
