Ripe Rewards: Tomatoes
There are certain times of the year here in Sonoma County when you feel compelled to, you really must, work with certain foods. It is almost criminal not to, because they grow so beautifully, and most of all they taste out of this world.
Valentines for our schools
Seeing teachers last week picketing in downtown Sebastopol and other teachers filling seats in front of school board meetings in Windsor, Cloverdale and Healdsburg reminds us we are beginning another school budget cycle. And this being Valentine’s Day also reminds us that our most cherished sweethearts are our children. There’s no better treat we could give our children and their teachers than more support for local education.
No on Measure A
The Sonoma County Growers Alliance (SCGA) has closely studied Measure A, the Sonoma County Cannabis Business Tax, weighing benefits and concerns. It is with great disappointment that the Sonoma County Growers Alliance Board of Directors found itself in opposition to Measure A. We want to explain how our board came to this decision, and offer our support to work to craft future policy that has the best interest of the community and local economy in mind.
Wheel of Light, January 2017
The New Year begins on a challenging note with four planets lining up in a T-square formation during January and February. This culminates in a transiting Grand Square around the full Moon on January 12. The main players in the T-square are Jupiter in Libra, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Mars transiting through Aries joins them in February. The Grand Square adds the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Cancer. All the signs involved are cardinal, meaning that the main problem could be too much impulsive choices and actions. The way out can come from being more deliberate in planning.
But I Digress … What’s in a name?
Bean Affair. What does that mean? Sounds a little like a Mexican restaurant, yes? But it’s a coffee shop in Healdsburg. Does it imply that you should have a romantic affair with your coffee beans? Can I just say, “Yuck?”
