The Court System needs to help those who have had multiple DUI's, perhaps due to mental health…Read More problems such as Bipolar and other more harmful mental health problems.
Jail or prison does not address the under line health issues, if they self medicate with alcohol to ease their pain. Thousands of tax dollars could be saved if repeat DUI offenders had medical examines and were diagnosed properly and helped.
KUDOS to the officers at the checkpoint yesterday on San Marin. They were courteous and…Read More professional. I have no problems with them since everyone needs to be reminded of the significant problem that driving while impaired is for our society. I went to
DMV yesterday to renew my license and the young lady asked me when I got my first license - told her when I was 14. She did the math in here head and said "Sir you have certainly been driving a long time" Yup and still have a clean record.
The man that got 3 DUIs in 5 days is 71 years old and driving, to me that is concerning enough.…Read More $75K for bail, he must money which means he'll have a good lawyer. Most likely he'll have to pay a big fine, do a few days at the county jail, do some community work, and go to AA.
Hi Joe, yes, I can add that for you. I am so sorry, I forget that people all over read this stuff.…Read More Meadow Park is located in Novato, CA, USA.
New Patch format is a little challenging - you will need to highlight the URL and click on Open…Read More Link.

I know just the place. It has all that you require, except one thing. The neighbors are not…Read More conscious. They're dead. It's called heaven. Good luck in your search, and I hope you beat out the stampede of people who dream of the same thing.

Totally understand your frustration. I continue to email Jim and use the button at the…Read More bottom of the front page to send comments about problems with the new format to the tech team.
I suspect they don't care unless they are made to care. Brent really took Patch to heart and responded to every person as if they were all important. That is part of what made him such an exceptional editor.
So far Jim has contacted me twice, once to chastise my use of the word terrorist and then to correct my spelling of Pat Eklund's name. I added a "c".
I am not sure how to bridge the gap with the new guys but have not given up entirely due to the encouragement from Pete and Joe. They have renewed my belief that the news is for everyone and we mustn't allow trolls to take over.
Ventress ,
Common sense tells you if you block your e mail address you will receive nothing . The…Read More trolls have not taken over as they have just put people like you out of business with your phony stories . Why do we need to keep reading your crying when you say you are gone ? Please take your friends with you as the regular readers do not want your garbage
Moylans has always been there for us. They rock! They also provided the brew for my biz opening…Read More party and they are an important part of Novato.
This new site is great . I wonder if the Posters who wanted to run the old Patch site with all…Read More the phony garbage/ postings are sneaking a peak to see a new / better patch . They all complained and said they will quit if not changed back. Guess what folks We have always told you if you want change you need to get out of your computers face and take action . We did just that and look at our reward, A new site for regular people who have common sense .. Thank You Patch
Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, and…Read More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.

I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research and…Read More commentary and has replaced it with irrelevant banter and Ads.
It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch.

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they just…Read More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.
