Oak
Valley is a small, friendly community just off the freeway in the Blue Diamond
Mountains. As today’s story begins
Linda had just learned that although she is a teacher in need of a job - Oak
Valley does not seem to have a High School.
As we listen in we find Judy at the O.V. Dairy Queen explaining the
situation to Linda.
Judy:
“...why, we don’t even have a Jr. High.
We don’t have an Elementary School, or a Pre-School. Why the Oak Valley pet store doesn’t even
have enough fish to form a school.”
Linda:
“Well, what do people do?”
Judy:
“I guess they buy their fish over in Mayville.”
Linda:
“Judy, have you always worked here at the Dairy Queen?”
Judy:
“Oh, no. I’m retired from
the Government Services Department and I get a fat check each month from the
government for my war injury. Folks
around here call me the Double-Dipper, Dipper.”
Meanwhile…
Across town and over two streets, Erick has an audience with Judge
Carmine Miranda-Wrights.
Eric:
“Your Honor, I believe I have enough here to take to court. My client, Mr. Ferguson, was wrongfully
discontinued and as a result did not receive the proper medical care needed.”
Carmine:
“That’s fine but just who are you taking to court? What I mean is, can I have a ride too? My car has been in the shop and although it’s
fixed I refuse to pay the interest charges they’ve tacked on.”
Well… Just who is going to court? Moreover, what’s this conflict of
interest? A beauty contest judge working
as a trial judge and now we find that Judy the Double Dipper-Dipper was
wounded? What a scoop. Tune in again
tomorrow when we will hear Linda say, “ Hey, why couldn’t we turn that old,
empty hospital into the new Oak Valley High School?”
