Ventress Totally understand your frustration. I continue to email Jim and use the button at theRead 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 . TheRead 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 openingRead More party and they are an important part of Novato.

Thankful for Moylan's Brewing, and their commitment to the community. Support locally owned businessRead More first in Novato.

Where's the daily/weekly weather report? It used to be at the top of the front page? I really likedRead More reviewing it with just a glance.
Peter May 20, 2013 at 10:16 am
This new site is great . I wonder if the Posters who wanted to run the old Patch site with allRead 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

What is going on here
Craig Belfor May 18, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, andRead 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.
Tina McMillan May 18, 2013 at 04:36 pm
Craig I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research andRead 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: http://www.marincounty.org/Main/~/media/Files/MarinGov/Board%20Actions/20130514CDAPlanBayArea-LTR.pdf There is also a presentation by the Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area: Is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin? Calendar: Novato Community Alliance Title: Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area Date: 30.05.2013 18:30 - 20:30 Location: Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael " A forum sponsored by the Marin Economic Forum on the Plan Bay Area will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 30th in the Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael. Panelists will be Plan Bay Area proponents Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey; Napa County Supervisor Mark Luce, president of ABAG; and critics Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute, author of "Gridlock"; and Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant and former chief financial officer of the Southern California Rapid Transit District. Moderator will be Marin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams. Admission is free."

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead 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.
Eleanor Sluis May 24, 2013 at 09:58 am
Joe- sorry you feel that way, but it is due diligence when people are concerned about blightedRead More neighborhoods and are trying to find solutions in fixing them. One reason that the Whole Foods Market and 125 units were built was that many people wanted to cover over what they saw as blight and some did not care what was built on that site. The same thinking was at the old hospital site by some stating that anything was better than what was there , considered as blight. The point is that in the process the developers were contacted and made changes in design and density of those properties and the surrounding properties seem to have maintained their values or increased. The designs and densities are debatable. Last night at the meeting with the owners of the Shell station of the Novato Square property, they were interested in the fact that at the bus stop and at the Novato Square annoyances from autos and people are disturbing to property residents. The residents want to make sure that the new design for the Shell station will add to and not detract from the neighborhood. They are interested in finding solutions for maintaining the area, including property values, which go up in well-kept neighborhoods over time in Marin. Please join a group and help with finding solutions for maintaining and improving on Novato’s vision of a rural, suburban, friendly, safe, educated, tolerant, and family oriented hometown to 53,000 people and visitors.
Bill L. Johnsome Jr May 24, 2013 at 03:52 am
Eleanor, The market and not your group will tell us where our property values are going. TheRead More square shopping center has an owner and if you think he Is going to listen to you and your friends,I have a river for sale. You and your so called group complain about everything this town does and nobody listens to you or your friends . Relax and enjoy life as you are a nice lady but the local groups you have joined have twisted your brain in the wrong direction. They wanted you as a member but when you ran for office did they vote for you ?
Eleanor Sluis May 23, 2013 at 05:18 pm
Peter- Correction- the meeting about property is at the Marin Board of Supervisors on May 30, atRead More 6:30.
Tina McMillan May 24, 2013 at 06:35 pm
John It is a little easier on the eyes, with smaller sections and more contrast. I have to goRead More back to the front page to see if the menu bar for our Patch is on top or on the bottom. I wish I could remember the former set up. As I recall Brent would post articles to the front page including new blogs and categorized them so that we had the ability to hit a link and get all the articles on issues like housing and charter schools. it meant you could read the front page and then go directly to your area of interest. There is too much white in this format. It makes it harder to read. Your eyes kind of bounce around. The BackBay Patch contrast helps. I will write the editor to find out how the choice is made. Thanks!
John Parnell May 24, 2013 at 05:07 pm
I had posted previously, but it doesn't show up (although I am notified of new comments). I thinkRead More some of you misinterpret the implications of this format change. I don't get what a template change for the website has to so with any certain individuals' comments. Although it is nice to see Peter finally signing with a real name, despite the vitriol staying the same. I also agree that this new template is not as user-friendly. The Boston Patch site uses a better template than this new one. What does everyone think of it? Backbay.patch.com
Peter May 24, 2013 at 04:06 pm
Maybe this post from Tammy will give you the boost you are looking for Tammy R May 20, 2013 atRead More 10:07 am People like Tina McMullin are upset because Patch is no longer her personal soap box. Her decpiction of you and other Patch designers as "Terrorists" is insensitive and pathetic. That is the site people like Tina prefer. If you're not careful, Patch will once again turn in to an angry blog for the repressed and narcissistic.
