Being "quiet" has merit to it. In my opinion, the presidential and 5th District politicking has been way too loud, so I have had to tune it out, in search of some silence to think, feel, and decide...

Goat Rock Ukuele,

I (Sebastopol City Council candidate and Open Our Hospital advocate Jonathan Greenberg) could not agree more with your sense of dismay that there is indeed something very wrong...

I think the problem here is that you have an unreasonable expectation of the kind of answer a candidate can honestly give. In fact I would say that if a candidate was willing to give you the kind of...

Hey Rossmen, you're on the right track about the out-of-town developers making it clear that they would take their toys and go home if they don't get the nod for their luxury liner. There is a subtle...

There are 3 seats open on the Palm Drive Health Care District board and 5 candidates. 2 year ago this was a hotly contested election because the fate of the hospital was stake, with some candidates...

For those who feel that judging Lynda Hopkins by her supporters and donors is unfair, an article in today's Press Democrat, reports the conclusions of an academic study on how various potential...

Again, it never ceases to amaze me how Hopkins supporters are rude and call names (no need to call me 'twisted') but tar everyone else as 'negative'. Really first rate republican tactics- not...

I agree with a lot of the concern about Sonoma County (and most of coastal California) becoming increasing expensive. Increasing property values, rents and gentrification are subjects I've been...

From Lynda Hopkin's FB page:
Question - "Wine lobby...pro Vineyard development? Man."

"I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might...

First off, the reference you cited is far from national press. It is the blog of an unpublished attorney that is two days old; mysteriously timed to coincide with the negotiation of this shakedown...

To all my West County friends, from Elizabeth Fuller –

I want to shout out a big public thank-you to Sonoma West Medical Center for the excellent experience I just had with my total hip...

Yes, as the saying goes, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I've lived here for over 40 years and I believe I have experienced enough regarding the...

The former Palm Drive Hospital in Sebastopol will open to patients Friday after a months long delay, the facility’s operators...

And the object of this thread is to discuss the re-opening of the hospital and the various considerations, which Rustie's questions and Dan's answers have been helpful to explore.

Let's leave the...

(above and beyond the call of duty for the Greater Good of this Community): That’s what I call a “Hero” in my book, Dan and Joan!<o:p></o:p>
You have made this Report transparent and clear enough...

Barry,

I have sent you a private email with the risks and weaknesses with the SWMC plan as I see them and suggest to Jim that he sends to you as well. Then, you can judge if each of us has made a...

Responding to ICCSoma's post above, the gist of which is his/her comment"

can we step back and stop the no hospital/hospital attack modes and talk about what this community needs and what is...

>>>But why are you still doggedly trying to shoot down Dan's plan now?

This is the question in many minds, I think, and not just in my own. It emerges again in the latest Sonoma West coverage,...
