local renewable energy providers
to lead the way and not look to San Francisco or Berkeley to muscle their way in on the work. Local companies for local energy. Good jobs and cleaner air are just the start of the benefits to us. ~ Beef Mcwin
Responding to Current Threats to the Sonoma
Mr. Charter and Mr. Trump are so far apart they are standing back- to-back. Somewhere between the two reality will have its day. Our coast is our most precious treasure, and since the beginning of human establishments along the coast there has been a need to use the resources of the ocean for our survival and enjoyment. T
Most of the residents of Guerneville, Rio Nido, and surrounding areas responded quickly and without
panic during the evacuation orders. Their response allowed firefighters
to continue to battle the fire and save properties from the inferno raging not far away.
Next time, and there will be a
next time for fires in our part of Sonoma County, you who ignore an evacuation order may lose your lives. Due to your own actions.

HairToStay
Having lost my hair during chemotherapy for breast cancer, I
am happy to support this event so women who have low income who are already going through so much PLUS cancer don’t have to suffer the loss
of their hair due to their treatment. PLUS, this looks like such a fun event! ~ Diane Heditsian
Our County
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Supervisor Hopkins for her tireless efforts to improve the quality of life in our beautiful west county. She
and her staff show sincere care and concern and have done a great job for us, particularly with their handling of the flood impact on Guerneville. Thank you Lynda!
Microgrids
It’s time to move forward
with microgrids that serve west county population centers. There
are multiple benefits that would come to residents of the county if neighborhoods were to be the source of energy with no reliance on PGE
to provide reliable and safe power. We have the technology and much of the feasibility of the idea has been performed by the creation of the MAC’s. Tell Lynda Hopkins we want
his won’t change. Best management practices include putting Charter and Trump ideologies on the same table at the same time for a real review - enough division! Let’s get real and ask our elected officials to do the same.

I’m old enough to have lived through many many changes in West Sonoma County. I applaud this writer for pointing out serious flaws. I too have seen ‘consultants’ advertising their services. ~ Suzanne Lindsey
Thank you for your news article and your ever-loving commitment to Sonoma County and the preservation of its coastline, and the California coast. As you will remember, I served as North Central Commissioner from 1972-1982 and was chairman 1980-
82. I am still doing a lot of wetland and historic preservation work for the coast and in San Francisco Bay. I applaud and second your efforts to encourage folks to participate in the LCP process.
