Picks & Pecks Editorial: Blessed event isn't news

Since when does a teacher's attempt to maintain order in a classroom become a cause célèbre for religious freedom? When FOX News gets involved, of course. Which explains how Vacaville's Will C. Wood High School health teacher Steve Cuckovich ended up on the nightly news this week, after he docked points from students who used the customary sneezer's "bless you" to disrupt class. There are plenty of pecks to go around here: To the students, of course, for being rude. To whoever called the news station instead of getting the teacher's side of the story. And to FOX News, for taking a nonstory and blowing it completely out of proportion. As for Mr. Cuckovich, The Rooster says, "Bless you" -- for trying to teach these kids some manners.

Dixon celebrates its hometown heritage today, as the 25th annual Lambtown takes over the May Fair grounds, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The family-friendly festival is a testament to the volunteers who put it together year after year. They get the anniversary pick.

It's understandable that Vacaville police have to stretch their budget, but getting other driver's insurance to pay for new police cars may not be prove sustainable. The Rooster jests, of course, but it is a wonder that, in less than a month, two Vacaville patrol cars have been involved in pile-ups on Interstate 80. It's unclear if the female officers behind the wheels were at fault, but the publicity alone is giving women drivers a bad name. There is one peck to issue in Monday's most recent crash: It goes to whoever thought it was a good idea to do construction work on Alamo Drive during rush hour and snarl I-80 off-ramp traffic.

After a rash of home burglaries in Suisun City, police there increased patrols and started keeping track of who was coming and going from the neighborhood being hit. When officers compared notes, they found their suspect, who was arrested this week.

Known as the “grandfather of specialty coffee,” Peet’s Coffee & Tea has been a Berkeley institution since opening its doors more than forty years ago. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Peet’s Coffee & Tea was a pioneer among other food purveyors in Berkeley’s “gourmet ghetto” – a collection of European style shops and restaurants. Today, traditional values are maintained through the hard work and attention to detail that is essential to creating coffees of distinction. The roasting facility is in Alameda, just a few miles from the original location on Vine Street in Berkeley, which still attracts a large, loyal following, including many who are proud that they have been customers since the store opened in 1966.
