Cannabis Country: Insurance agent for the marijuana industry

It’s good to see former students doing well, especially when they do well in innovative ways. That’s true for Daniel Garcia, who took my classes at Sonoma State University (SSU).

Words Matter

It’s ā€œback to schoolā€ time again and that means shopping trips for new school clothes, buying new notebooks, pens and erasers for the backpack and complaining about how early the first class bell is scheduled to ring.

Neighbors: Suki McCoy

Dog owners encounter likeminded folks in this dog-friendly town, and thus I met Suki right on my block as she walked her poodles while carrying a two-pound Chihuahua in a sling ā€˜round her neck. During that brief conversation I became anxious to learn more.

Single payer activists confront Assembly Member Jim Wood at Demo meeting

District 2 Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) was on hand at the July 20 meeting of the Windsor Democratic Club to discuss his 2017 legislative activities. He outlined highlights of the recently passed $183 billion budget with expanded support for K-12 education and additional funding for pre-schools. Wood reported that gas taxes have been increased to pay for repairs to our highways, the condition of which is costing motorists approximately $700 per year in repair costs to their individual vehicles. He touched on other legislation in which he is engaged, including Assembly Bill 1433, which proposes using funds from the recently passed Cap and Trade Extension for carbon sequestration through better management of our forests and natural and working lands.

Someday we’ll laugh about this . . . right? Burney Falls and other wonders

We finally got to take a trip to see my dad and his new home in Burney, and it was wonderful. The trip itself took about five and a half hours, give or take a rest stop or two, taking the northern route (101 to Ukiah, then over to I-5 and up to Redding, then climbing up the mountains to Burney). The best part of the trip was getting to hug my dad, but there were a lot of other memorable moments, too.

‘Angels’ lands at Raven Performing Arts

:Every Sunday matinee we do a post-show discussion with the audience, so they get a chance to make comments and ask questions of the actors. We saw there were a lot of people who were quite moved and quite touched by the play. So the opening weekend could not have gone better, as far as I’m concerned," said director Steven David Martin.
