Please reply...

As a care-giver with over 30 years experience and an IHSS worker for the last 5 years, I agree with most of what everyone is saying. What most folks don't realize is that over 60% of IHSS workers are...

You could "offer" it, and see if you have any takers. From what I've seen, there's a shortage of IHSS workers, so employers put up with those who are less than desirable. The other part is that it...

Perhaps I/we should ask/require that IHSS workers get a free listing in our Business Directory? That way we can collect referrals/reviews from other Waccos. It also begs the questions if the IHSS...

Evan Wiig of the Farmer's Guild and Sebastopol Grange did a study of which grocers are the most local. It has been posted online by the Press Democrat, as follows. Though the list itself was too...

Please realize that most of our systems are broken. Chaos happens each time CAPITALISM raises its ugly head!!

Also when I have more time, I will attempt to raise awareness about the importance of...

For anyone using the services of IHSS (In Home Support Services) Sonoma county's most vulnerable population please consider these words of caution. This involves screening workers more in depth who...

We're introducing a new category today: Health & Wellness. I think this can be a great resource for our community as well as way for our many gifted healers to share some of their expertise.
...

For anyone not familiar, a bill was introduced in the Senate on February 18th to mandate/force vaccines on all children in California. This would apply to all children whether in public, private or...

Wild grapes grow in our area, so you don't have to depend on wine grapes that have somehow managed not to be sprayed. The wild California grapes are, in fact, used as root stock for local wine...

I'm curious to find out about any supportive writing/creative groups in the area (within short, easy drive of Santa Rosa). I'd like to get back in to doing writing and other creative work (like...

Last year or so we started a petition with almost 800 signatures to stop spraying Roundup and worse things such as Atrazine. It was taken to Parks, Santa Rosa City Council, City Manager etc. There...

Hi all -

My thoughts on this topic, Part II -

First, I want to say that unfortunately I'm not available to take on this issue right now. But I will offer a couple thoughts for those who are. ...

Hi all -

Thanks to everyone for caring about toxics and protecting our precious ecosystems, including our waterways. Thanks also to the folks who mentioned my work on the toxics issue. And thanks...

Either pick your own...

Don't let your extra Gravensteins rot because you can't eat them all or give them away. Bring them to the Burbank Farm and turn them into delicious juice which you can then freeze or let ferment. ...

Idiots!! Roundup works on grasses and does not work on cane type plants, such as blackberries. A different type of herbicide is needed for the latter... but no herbicide at all sounds like a better...

On Tuesday August 19, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors is meeting. They have a large agenda, but several of the agenda items deal with homelessness, which there is a lot of in Sonoma County. ...

As someone who works in the world of restoration and botany, I would like to make a couple of suggestions. It is really likely that the people spraying are people like myself: wary of herbicides,...

There are certainly far more harmful biocides in use, but Roundup is far from benign. The City of Sebastopol has not used Roundup or any other chemical herbicide or pesticide on city property since...

Yikes! Seems very irresponsible. Are there toxic warning signs up so people don't eat those blackberries? Thanks for posting.

Thank you for doing this!

Carrie... I am a seasoned worm farmer. I have eliminated almost all wet garbage from the weekly pickup, and have benefitted from these critters' valuable worm casting fertilizer for the vegetable...

Contrary to popular belief, Lyme Disease is very prevalent in our neck of the woods. I thought I'd start a thread and see if there's any interest in sharing experiences, information and resources...

I think Sebastopol could really use a tool-lending library and community work/wood shop. I'm a builder who would be willing to manage it and I know there is demand for something like this. But how to...
