Marin County fire officials quickly doused a small grass fire that sparked a couple miles outside of Novato’s city limit on Friday afternoon, according to dispatcher Lauri Thompson.
Dispatchers received reports of a grass fire on the 4300 block of Novato Boulevard at 4:34 p.m. Firefighters arrived and extinguished the blaze in less than a minute.
“It was very small, it only burned about one-eighth of an acre,” Thompson said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Roger - Some of the stories written just before the software changeover did not migrate to the new…Read More site. I'm keeping tabs on those stories that are missing to make sure they transfer over once the dust settles.

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.
If you have been following the Plan Bay Area debate here is a link to the response from the Supervisor's:

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.

I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance and…Read More Novato Homeowners Association. Both are grassroots groups working with local government to ask much needed questions regarding Plan Bay Area.
Your comments are reminiscent of a previous poster named Bud Lite who was engaged in heated exchanges. Since his name continued to evolve it was only his message that made him recognizable.
No one can give you the world but NCA and NHA are both resources that can provide information and discussion of important local issues.

Hello,
It took our groups letters to get the change as we do not want to read someones garbage…Read More that takes twenty posts to say one thing . I have never had a heated exchange with you but I can tell you I was sick of reading your garbage like a lot of other people were. You and your group promised the world, told it the only way you wanted the outcome to be and got caught by the real people of Novato

I keep trying to get news, but the only thing I get is Julia, the party pooper of Hamilton, has…Read More discovered another party. Get over it, Julia. These are not the inflatables your husband parties with. These are just kids having fun. They could be doing much worse.

Bubbasixpack called me and says he's blocked off the Patch. I don't seem to see any of the other…Read More names any more. Are they purged too? What's going on? Why can't we get an answer? sounds like the Patch died. Too bad. It was a good thing. Now I know why Brent bailed out so suddenly.
Craig Belfor May 19, 2013 at 01:40 pm
It took me 30 minutes to view and respond to AVID. Too much time. Since I use 5 computers to run my…Read More business, I read Welte's respose to Tina's post, then I googled "Terroist", and in less time that it took me to get on Patch to comment, I learned how to make a thermo-nuclear device that would take out the entire town of Novato. Don't worry, I love this town and would never do such a thing, but our country was founded by an act of terroism that arose when the people couldn't get any say in the way they were being governed. (Goggle "Boston Tea Party"). We are our past, and our thoughts, opinions, and views have been erased. Don't make it easier to torch a town hall than to find out when the next meeting is. There are crazy people in this town, and not all of them are on the council. Not everyone has my pacifist, non violent but vocal temperment.
