Having just published a biography of Jasper O'Farrell, a friend suggested the Sebastopol City Council should enact a Jasper O'Farrell Day to recognize one of West County's original ranchers. In the...

Ukraine is a long way from America.

Are we going to sit by while eastern Ukraine and possibly the entire country are carved up and swallowed by Russia?

I cannot vote for Greenberg, but I would if I still lived in beautiful Sebastopol....

One last post. Hopefully, I will be through. Obviously many disagree on the subject of "Jonathan Greenberg as a team player." Please, someone define for me what is meant by the term "team player."...

With a new year ahead of us, here is a new resolution for Congress: Restore the ban on assault weapons and ammunition. Just look at what our friends at Bushmaster are serving up in 2013. Two...
