Watershed Wise: Creek friendly home improvement and yard care

August 9, 2017

The days are long and warm, but many of us are anything but lazy. We are in our yards tackling our outdoor honey-do lists. We are refinishing our decks, painting our homes and taming our yards. After painting the house, sanding the deck, or trimming back the landscaping it would be convenient to sweep or pour the mess into the storm drain (or gutter). The problem is that everything that enters the storm drain eventually flows into our creeks untreated.

The recent report by the Independent Citizen Advisory Committee on Pension Matters further documented that the problem is far from being solved five years after reforms had begun. More importantly, as a result of the committee’s work, we now fully understand why pension costs are so high, and we know a way to fix that problem.

Commentary: Land for affordable housing – priceless

September 15, 2020

Nine years after the project was launched, the self-described “ultra-luxury resort” Montage plans to welcome its first guests on Dec. 19. Rooms are available for $695 to $945, or you can book a $1,995 suite with “views of the surrounding mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows.” Luxury in the wine country has its price, but there is more at stake than just money.

Snapshot: Pruning Prepares the Vines

January 11, 2024

Sonoma County's vineyard workers clip 100 million canes per year, bringing forth spring's bud break, summer's veraison, and fall's harvest, and German POWs worked in the vineyards and orchards during the 1940s.
