'Paid crisis actors'?! ' Provided funds'?? Quotation marks around 'school'??? Is this response a sick joke or is the writer actually serious? :hmmm:

Have any of you, like myself, attempted to contact Recology, (after receiving a higher bill than the one from the previous agency) at their only listed means of contact, an 800 number, and get put...

- a favorite one of mine, for decades. Thank you.

If you has seen, as I have, large numbers of honeybees, a whole hive's worth, staggering in circles in the street, disoriented and unable to fly - certainly doomed - after anyone in the vicinity has...

This is SO like what happened with the Courthouse Square boondoggle - Public meetings 'to seek input' only after it was a closed-door done (horribly) deal. So many folks spoke against it, to no...

What a thoughtful, caring response to this thread... More than ever, we have to be there for each other, in whatever way we can. I have not been homeless, but have been too close at times and have...

Many, many people spoke eloquently (and, occasionally, humorously) against the Courthouse Square project at meetings "seeking public input", but it was a done deal before those meeting even occurred...

I agree; Redwood Credit Union is great! They were the only ones to offer me a car loan when I first got here many years ago and needed a car. Free checking, good rates for everything Very...

I agree! JH

Warren and Harris are both eminently qualified. Bill Maher also suggest our own Gavin Newsom, though he's not well-enough known nationally. But, then, either was Obama!

KOWS radio is an all-volunteer group of people who give their time, money, expertise and love to the project of providing excellent public (i.e. not bought,sold, or owned by anybody) radio to the...

Very poignant - Thank you for posting this.

Like others,I started spontaneously crying for joy hearing this. The power of love.

I did not see abandonment of the Santa Rosa protest in that post. It's a 'both and' as far as I can see. And, isn't part of the idea to drive less??

The changes in our county are as disturbing to me as Donald Trump's ascendancy - Fortunately, Bernie continues as a strong candidate - But. locally, as CVS prepares another eyesore, as heritage...

Gifted Sebastopol artist and friend Don DeViveiros passed this morning. If you have known Don well enough to wish to attend a celebration of his life some time in the near future, please reply to me...

I am beyond appalled that the city of Santa Rosa is scheduling its Earth Day event in Courthouse Square!!! Are they utterly oblivious??!!:hmmm:

Hope you have a fun and restorative holiday!

You who have known Gor Yaswen through WACCO, the SRJC, theater, poetry, as a KOWS host, or as a friend and local Sebastopol character, should know that he lost control of his motorcycle, hit a...

We love the Michael Moore movie - lively, fun, serious, warm and thought-provoking.

By the time this was actually presented to the public, at three crowded and contentious meetings, it was, clearly, already, a 'done deal'.

I am especially disappointed in Combs, Wysocky and Coursey.

It sickens me too - a done deal before they even pretended that our input meant anything at all.

At the very crowded meeting today, it became clear that the plans offered by the developers all involved removing some or all of the old and beautiful trees and increasing parking. Very sterile,...

Another horrible decision in the works.I sent a note to the Council via the link you provided. Very easy to do; thank you.

A very intelligent and thoughtful response by Obama.

I have found the writer of that article, Clark Mason, to be a warm, open human being on other occasions. Good man to contact at the PD.

For a truly entertaining 40-minute radio dramedy about the 50's, including MKUltra, check out tomorrow, Friday night's show on KOWS, 107.3 fm, at 7 p.m.. It's called "Johnny Nickel", (a noir...

We had two weird experiences with Graton cops recently. The first time we were pulled over for no reason other than that we were pulling out across from the Underwood on a weekend night in a very...

The increasing malice in this thread is disturbing. I have personally seen fairness, kindness, and concerned thoughtfulness from Chris Andrian over an extended period of time.

I agree; it is. Much of what's good has come from willingness to speak truth to power. You may already know that Norman Soloman presented a petition of over 100,000 names in Oslo, suggesting that...

We are all very concerned with Mister Carillo's breeches, er, breaches, but the true elephant in the room, the big villain to me, is the NSA, which seems to be Hell-bent on establishing a Big...

Regarding the WACCO response to the charges against Efren Carillo, I find this rush to judgment by a generally progressive, reasonable group of people surprising and appalling Is this kneejerk mob...

I 'd have to agree. Keep up the good work, Barry. WACCO is truly alive, not dead/bought out.

I've been offline for a few days, so I don't know if anyone else has posted this. If not, I am extremely sad to (again) report the loss of a local fine musician and wonderful human being, David...

What a beautiful young being she is - a huge, huge loss - deepest sympathy to you and your family.
