The window of opportunity is closing for a coordinated response to combat climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said recently. “Humanity is on thin ice—and that ice is melting fast,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “Our world needs climate action...

Judging from comments from both the public and the commission members itself, there's a clear favorite in the naming of a new Saggio Hills park: Laura Fish Somersal, a Pomo basketweaver thought to be among the last native speakers of both the Pomo and Wappo languages, languages she taught at Sonoma State University and elsewhere.

A narrow stretch of Sunset Drive overlooking Villa Chanticleer, which has been called out by its residents as a potential hazardous location in an emergency, experienced a real-time test last Friday morning when a contractor’s pickup truck suddenly caught fire, sending flames some over 20 feet into the canopy of the wooded neighborhood...
