Neighbors have legitimate concerns regarding the need to use this highway. Detours create more stress and more pollution. There is nothing particularly ecological about Diablo Canyon-powered electric bikes and motorbikes taking over the stretch. Nor are yoga classes, skateboarding or parades activities which can not be staged elsewhere. Given the inhospitable fog and winds that beset the coast, these do not appear to be a great use of public space, profit making or not.
A little over a year ago, we started Slavic Voice 4 Ukraine with a simple goal: we wanted young people to have a space to connect with Ukrainian culture and with each other. This idea is behind one of our newest projects, “Blooms from the Ashes: In Honor of Maria Prymachenko,” an international youth art competition celebrating Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko.
Throughout the past few years, media coverage has endlessly fixated on traffic volume metrics, safety statistics and granular debates about commute times.

Food plays a significant role in Diwali celebration. Freshly made foods such as chutney, savory dishes and sweets are shared with friends and relatives.

And will they ask the wealthiest people and largest interests to contribute their fair share?

State Sen. Scott Wiener, representing San Francisco, has worked overtime to weaken and limit the CEQA, a state law that requires state and local government agencies to analyze the potential environmental effects of proposed projects and to inform decision-makers and the public about those effects. CEQA also mandates the identification of ways to avoid or lessen environmental damage and the consideration of alternatives to projects. CEQA provides environmental safeguards for the protection of our communities.

No City government should gamble our precious, essential public resources on running a risky “Public Bank.” Not now, not in the future, no matter how hard elected officials campaign promoting it.
Proposition G provides a practical middle ground by restoring weekday access to the roadway for commuters, working parents and daily traffic, while preserving full weekend and holiday car-free closures for coastal recreation.
The goal should be simple: more families should be able to attend a good public school close to home, while preserving meaningful choices like language immersion and specialized program.
I aways turn to soup for the evening supper. An easy to prepare, creamy vegetable soup made without adding any cream is my go-to recipe. I have a few favorite creamy soups. However, this is one of the easiest and quickest ones to make. The fresh corn available now is another reason to prepare this soup. So, if you are hungry and want a nourishing and fast dish, this recipe is for you!
