When somebody runs for judge around here it’s nothing but a popularity contest for the voters. Unless you happen to know the candidate personally — and therefore can reasonably expect some kind of access or even leniency for your family and friends in future legal cases — there is no way to find out what kind of person you are voting for or against. That’s because candidates for judge do not have to — they’re even forbidden to — say how they’d rule in any given case, real or hypothetical. No other candidate for public office enjoys this kind of pig-in-a-poke protection.

It’s the kind of volunteer effort that eats up your free time for months.
On May 2nd, a tranquil spring day, the KZYX Board of Directors met for the annual membership meeting at the Point Noyo Restaurant's bar room in Fort Bragg. For the second consecutive meeting the Board's…
Prison is a young man's game. Or woman's; I don't want to take a sexist position here, but I will take an ageist one in that it absolutely requires the vigor and resilience of youth…
Just north of Hopland on the west side of Highway 101 is a nice White House. It has always been known as The Manning House. As I was growing up in the 1950s it was…
