Jarrett: Something other than ‘Konocti’

I am sorry that I was unable to attend the last Board of Supervisors meeting to give my input on the proposed name change for Kelseyville.

Here’s what I think:

If our elected officials are unwilling to take the heat and make a decision, then …

The question of the name change should be left up to the people of Kelseyville.

However, if the name is going to be changed, I think it should be changed to something other than “Konocti.”

I was a teacher and board member in the Konocti Unified School District. To name Kelseyville Konocti will cause undue confusion.

I am sure that there are many meaningful words in native languages which could better describe the community.

Please do not use Konocti.
