While we watch amazing folks helping those in desperate straits in TX, I just want to say we have our own kind and wonderful people here as well. Thanks to the Latina mother and her young son, who...

Since building our fiber-to-the-home network in Sebastopol, we have managed to get many households to switch, but about half of the households in Sebastopol are still using Comcast or AT&T instead. ...

You might try calling Crossing the Jordan. Their focus is on helping women with children find housing, and other support. They're a religious organization, that does good work.

Ah, yes, but are those Driscoll's berries? There is an ongoing boycott against them for labor violations. I can't imagine how little the folks who picked berries that can be sold at that price must...

I don't think it's a conspiracy (I never do, do I?) but it's right up there with other silly things our society does. It's possible it helps - and it would help if done right - but it's mostly a...

I will support.
I would also be interested to know if you shop at Whole Foods?

for years we went to the dump as a regular chore. It was kinda fun, having little kids especially, to back up to the cliff and throw your stuff over the edge. Once a guy pushed off a 20' plus...

Actually, I think Barry has a perfect right to express his opinion here like anyone else. He is a valued member of the community like the rest of us, and as moderator he never suppresses our...

"in bed with Monsanto" is a bit of hyperbole. It was a $1500 contribution years ago - they support research into MS which many in her family are afflicted with. In this campaign, Noreen has...

Maybe we can feed two birds with one scone by building Ned Kahn's tower, and putting the KOWS antenna inside it!

Challenge accepted. Erik Koenigshofer's PAC has reportedly raised $105,000, and so far spent $85,000 on Lynda Hopkins' behalf. You can see the details on Noreen Evans' Facebook page. And...

I have made inquiries about the hit piece on Noreen Evans by speaking to Neal Fishman, a former Coastal Conservancy employee. He is well informed about the roles and duties are (and were). Neal gave...

Who said that something MUST be built? Probably the owners felt that way, but that was not the point of the post that mentioned how long the lot had been vacant. The point was that anyone could have...

Mickey Hart is not Caryl Hart.

I do not accept the competitive, either/or tunnel vision of SOSRoads regarding support for parks and nature. Take a higher road both/and approach and support both measures. As important as roads are...

As an organic farmer for the last 24 years, I have learned to appreciate the smell of manure coming from the dairy farm next to my fruit farm. That manure is some of the best natural fertilizer...

I find this anti union invective very disturbing. Certainly there have been serious abuses perpetrated by unions, usually when the upper management lost touch with their membership and became another...

35903The local press seems to want to limit the information we get about the entire field of candidates running for 5th District Supervisor. There are five candidates, but the Press Democrat only...

I replied to your questions a few pages back. I said I was proud to work for SEIU and the working class. And I told you the average pension for our rank and file workers.

I'm very proud and...

The Sebastopol City Council will hear KOWS application tonight, Tues., to move its harmless low-power antenna to Pleasant Hill Rd. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at the Community Center on Morris...

The Right to Farm should not be interpreted as The Right to HARM, which is what the over-grown wine industry here does. It is the main user of the cancer-causing RoundUp and other deadly poisons,...

Congratulations on acquiring yet another store and your desire to create an expanded offering to your customers.

I am concerned that your plans would eliminate Cheekos. They have been there for...

I have been a KOWS broadcaster since the station opened. I believe In free speech community radio as an important resource for political awareness and action as well as vital in an emergency. I...

Here goes: The comment on split body trucks is accurate. The recycling is in one big barrel and trash in the other barrel. A hydraulic mechanism moves the door between and compacts the material. One...

This is a beautiful clear, articulate sober open letter written by Norman Soloman, and it is one of the best things I have seen on this troublesome issue of the cruel treatment of a true hero!

Hi Everybody,

Can you please just chill, at least for the weekend? :chillpill:
I'm trying to enjoy being on the RiverGuidess trip.
I'd like to not worry about pandemonium breaking out. ...

22865Sunday night or early this morning, someone stole everything from our "Honor-System" farm stand on Joy Road in Occidental. It is the worst theft we have had in the 20 years of having our little...

Ray... as I sat reacting to and composing a response to your sad and angry post, Jennifer here said much of what I feel. Your outpouring of pain and loss and fear was palpable, and for that I am sure...

I have no expectations: I'm open to whatever happens, if anything. We have to admit that things have been shifting dramatically for quite awhile already, but if we've been safe and sound in our own...

Thank you, Barry for your avid interest and attention to this. We do not need the negativity and your moderation is appreciated. I am glad you are in contact with Paula Downing and that you have a...
