Great post Nancy. My partner & i have been discussing the lack of "light industry" that we thought was what the barlow would be about, a mix, or what is there & "light industry".

Sonoma and Napa County Residents Oppose Winery Over-Expansion

Residents from throughout Sonoma County are meeting to strategize about challenging recent proposals...

We may have a good argument against the Dairyman proposal and the overall attempt at the Napatization of Sonoma County after all. The really great news for this conscious community is that according...

A reference or post to this piece may have been made elsewhere; it seems pertinent to this thread so here goes:

Maybe the pop psych should go to a new thread, with EC just one example of whatever.

Should there be a new thread for the Supes' actions next Tuesday?

It is not pleasant to watch Efren squirm. However, don't be fooled. The eleventh hour called for a stellar performance on his part, and I dare say he ventured to deliver. In the end,...

(Frankly, the reactions I saw on WACCO after the incident happened tapped into my existential sense of hopelessness. The environmental, civil rights, anti-war, and especially the feminist movements...

PD: Carrillo testifies he was hoping for sex

Carrillo's own words today - exactly what those with common sense suspected and expected.

I like and use southpoint storage in sebastopol- very safe and they'll even loan you a truck to move in. all kinds of prices, units, etc.

Hopper Storage on Hopper Ave is great if they have any openings. Stay away from Storagepro " Lock it Up" on Airway and Public Storage. They get you in and then raise your rent after a couple of...

the woman carrillo frightened into calling 911 twice has a lawyer because the court system provided her with one. the courts have gotten lots of public feedback about how these kind of cases are...

I have found A-1 Mini Storage on Dutton Meadow in south Santa Rosa to be the most inexpensive storage place. They also are good people. Managers live on site.

Since I saw absolutely no mention of any effort which may have been expended by you researching Marsy's Law, I am going to conclude that you did not bother to read it and familiarize yourself with...

I prefer the term "accuser" to "victim" to describe the person making the accusation. Calling her a victim presupposes that she is honest and accurately perceived what happened, and that the conduct...

It is good to get some humor into this too-acrimonious discussion. :) Mr. B, who is a talented photographer with a show currently at the Risk Press Gallery in Sebastopol, and I have indeed been...

I personally think that we could easily reduce the number of police in Sebastopol. I'm more afraid of them than I am of driving in Oakland. Due to their numbers and budget, my perception is that they...

I think it was the response that triggered his enforcement. Instead of apologizing and being done with it, you got defensive and tried to put the blame on others - regardless of who was really at...

At yesterday's Board of Supervisor's meeting, 13 spoke in favor of resignation and 10 spoke about other issues unrelated. No one spoke in Carrillo's favor (if you mean in terms of his staying in...

US Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is a true nutcase. Paul praises genocidal tyrant, President Bashar Al Assad of Syria because he "protected Christians." For which country is Paul a senator for? I...

Thanks, Dan, for your enlightening post.

and, as far as I'm concerned, are some of the...

Well Bruce of Occidental- I guess your life has been perfect ,not having to turn to local representatives and our legal system for assistance and help for you and your family and to help others. Only...

wow, that's a pretty generic pool you're tossing them all into. You don't notice the difference between the cases? I doubt that Wiener or Spitzer endorse (or indulged in) late-night uninvited...

I agree that the guy should not be lynched since no violent acts were committed, except possibly the destruction of a window screen. Regardless of his motives, since he found himself in a...

Richard, I really like your reference regarding the public's confidence in Carrillo to continue to serve in public office.

If I'm not mistaken, Canada and other nations have what is called, "A...

I never called anybody a rat, but only used a simile?
I feel bad for Efren, and he will be able to defend himself in court. Adrian is very competent. My point again is that the image of what is...

This discussion is not about stigmatizing "swaths" of a demographic. It it not about persons with a medical condition going about their private business in their private lives. It is about the...

Ok, let's back up from this statement a bit. Being on psych meds doesn't automatically mean that a person is not capable of clear thought and/or decisions. If the medications are being prescribed...

seems simpler just to buy his vote the normal way.

boy, I would never have guessed that this topic would draw the bandwidth it has!!

One of the myriad reasons we hope to have only people of good judgment making broad decisions that affect our personal welfare, our health and any number of aspects that politicos can influence our...

Very useful information, especially for dealing with our county government and its employees. The information about "duping delight" is particularly applicable to our current Public Health Officer...

While the arguments go back and forth regarding Efren's "addiction". It has taken on a life of so many of the celeb's in Los Angeles, where they get into hot water and run off to rehab for thirty...

are you supporting him just because you agree with him politically??
somehow I missed the story about Clinton roaming the neighborhood in his skivvies. Scary image, that.

He most certainly needs to go like yesterday; a real disgrace. He needs treatment to get his life together but stay out of politics.

Thanks again for your research, Dzerach. Interesting that First Five felt the need for 2 pediatric operatories in FLUORIDATED Healdsburg. No wonder Chalfin doesn't want anyone to see the...

Sebastacat,

I took notes at the Feb. 26 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. One of them reads:

Gorin: "No physician recommends that infants zero to six months should ingest fluoride, is that...
