Re: “Voices of Dreamers”
My goodness, this is the best story I have read in a long time. It was sent to me via the SRJC website which I am a member of. I will post this on SRJC Human Services Network to get the word out. Keep dreaming.
Re: “The Final Four”
And I'd love it if PG&E were on this list, to weigh these companies fairly, and if Bohemian asked Sonoma Clean Power to talk about what it's like to try to buy cleaner power with a cheaper price in a market known for being dirty in general -- we as citizens just didn't push hard enough to demand a nation-wide clean energy supply, so now we're stuck with playing in the dirty muck of the energy market as it is.

I'm down in Long Beach and I'm starting to spread the word down here.
Re: “The Final Four”
I like this article and I love the fact that the Bohemian is investigating something so important to all of us, but I'd love it EVEN MORE if your reporter looked into the labor practices of each company. You can't be a GREEN ENERGY provider if you don't pay workers decent wages and benefits and give them a voice at work (especially in jobs like this where public safety is at risk- do you want a worker to have to choose between speaking up about shoddy safety standards or losing his or her job?) Workers rights standards should be a part of any criteria in picking a "Green Energy Partner"
Re: “Steep Climb”
Why is it that nowhere in this story is AMGEN (the tour sponsor) mentioned as the manufacturer and clandestine provider of the primary drug in the scandal? Why do the riders get slammed over and over while the creator and pusher of EPO gets the publicity, and praise, for TOC despite being deeply and darkly implicated in some seriously ugly drug controversy? http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/armstr…

Power words that come from the heart!
Re: “Bird Call”
The people who care need to coordinate with a bunch of friends with the right equipment and implements and cut the damn netting down yourselves. Do it at night if you have to. It should be obvious by now that these government idiots aren't going to do anything. Why are you surprised - it's what they do best.
You better get out there and help those birds or there will be thousands of dead ones in that netting. GET RID OF IT AND DO IT YOURSELf.
And if you are asked about it, respond like the governent agencies do: deny, deny deny.

Re: “Bird Call”
Meant the petition to remove the nets. It is located on the NSCC website (native songbird care & conservation).

Re: “Bird Call”
I have pledged $100 to NSCC to help Bowers her staff and her mission. I have signed the petition to remove the nets on the NSCC website. I have shared this horrible problem with over a hundred conservationists....If you can please help. Please sign the petition, please spread the word....
Thank-you.

Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
I was wondering if the Family would be intrested in sharing this story on my TV Show I would be intrested in having Annette Keys share this story. My TV Shows deals with State Mental Hospitals and families and friends mentally ill. I sent a message to the editor to ask to foward my message to Herczog family. My site is waynemorinjr.com
Thank You

Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
What a shock to read about Mark's murder. He was a really fine person: intelligent, kind, thoughtful. My heart goes out to the family; they are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the justice system will listen to their plea for compassion and mercy for the mentally ill son.
Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
My hopes and prayers surround this entire family and all who are seeking the truth and its relevance to Houston and his care beyond this sad moment. I, too, wake up everyday to a tragic nightmare that began over 7 years ago with psychosis and the killing of 2 of our 5 children by their medication induced psychotic father and my husband, David Crespi. I believe that we all need to seek the full truth and surround the details with diligent attention for understanding to facilitate meaningful action and healing beyond the horror. See CrespiFamilyHope for details and possible understanding. I completely support understanding and mercy for Houston.
Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
What a sad story. My sympathy to the family. I remember Mark, Annette, and Marilyn from the mid-1980s in San Francisco. May God have mercy.

Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
Absolutely agrees with the thrust of this article.After knowing known Mark personally, and having a nephew who suffers from this disease, I believe that a delicate balance between mercy, wisdom and keen judgement desperately needs to be exercised. Mark was a deeply caring individual, and probably would be the first to testify on Houston's behalf.
Re: “A Picture of Tragedy”
For those complaining about the article writer: What do you expect? Remember who wrote it, and then remember Mark for who he was. Mark Herczog was one of the few who were inspiration to me when we met early in 1992. He was a role model who I aspired to be like one day. He encouraged me in so many ways, to pray, to be persistent and to talk when I needed to. I loved that man and was always grateful when he walked into a room. Save me a seat, Mark! Until we meet again...

Re: “The Final Four”
Yes, I too would like PG&E to be compared with the 4 companies being considered by SCE. I am shocked at the heavy involvement in nuclear and would never support that. And i grew up in NYC with ConEd, which I associate with belching smokestacks. I suspect that PG&E might look angelic in a comparison with Con Ed. Although I spoke last night in favor of Petalumans having some choice, what I have read here is looking like "out of the frying pan and into the fire." I am concerned and would like to hear what Sonoma Clean Energy has to say about the advantages of going with their plan.
