Jam’s Joy Bungalow declares ‘Free Food April’ for those who can’t pay
Since Christmas, Jam’s Joy Bungalow on the square in Sebastopol has been providing free meals for anyone who needs it between 3-5 pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.

Another local icon in jeopardy
Unless you’ve been closely following Sonoma County happenings, you may not be aware that another local, iconic bridge, the 1915, Parker-through-truss, Lambert Bridge, is in jeopardy of being removed from service. Like our Healdsburg Memorial Bridge, until recently, this bridge had a Caltrans reported structural Inventory Rating (a rating used for federal funding purposes) of zero tons.

In June of 2013, I became aware of this threat and corresponded with our County Supervisor, Mike McGuire.
