Thank you Alameda County Sheriff's for putting on such a great event. I LOVED that I was able to getRead More FREE finger printing for my children. My daughter loved the jumpy house and McGruff the Dog. Thanks again!

Nice story about Doris, but what about 'Main' Street (This articles headline). Has Lewelling reallyRead More been renamed and who decided that and when and why was there no notification. I wouldn't exactly consider Lewelling Blvd San Lorenzo's Main street.

When you hang with thugs, sooner or later you're going to say or do something that will anger them.Read More And thugs will do what any wild animal will do, lash out at you. But its not with an an outstretched claw, its with a gun.

Very cool website, beautiful work... the blue landscape, the outcroppings, where for one but manRead More how?

got some of my best "candid" shots w/out looking at the screen or viewfinder, got a feelRead More for the framing by just practicing shooting from the hip... frees your eye and seems to free up the subject too, really grown to like images when the eye to eye isn't with the lens. gotta love autofocus...

CHP clerical are short staffed due to not being able to hire. They are forced to take furlough daysRead More off every month (with a decrease in pay) but they still must complete the same workload. Volunteers fill in that gaps to keep providing great service to the community. The fact that these citizens volunteer their time to help make a government agency more effective is honorable. The administrative side is a support to all of the traffic safety work and educational programs that the field does. What an important role these volunteers must have!

This new Patch format sucks. The Patch used to have a look and feel unlike other sites. Now it looksRead More like every other site, crowded with ads and links designed to distract you.

They could not have put a better spin on the fact that non-paid scabs are doing the work that paidRead More clerical help would normally do. You can put a dress on a pig, but its still a pig. These seniors should be ashamed.

That dog was on Joseph drive on Saturday morning. I was on my way to the airport or I would haveRead More tried to help him! He/she seemed pretty skittish, poor thing.

I am a San Lorenzo Village Volunteer. I am not an employee of the Castro Valley Patch. TheRead More "Village News" is a blog only about San Lorenzo events. To clear up any confusion. Thanks.

I think you're missing the distinction between a regular news article and a blog. News articles areRead More generally submitted to an editor for approval. A blog is written on a subject or subjects that interest the blogger and usually don't go under the slash-marks of an editor. This specific blog is written on the subject of San Lorenzo Village. You're welcome to blog on Castro Valley if you so wish, that's up to you.

I subscribe to the Castro Valley Patch. I read what is published through that medium. How would anyRead More reader know that the generic title "Village News" is specific to San Lorenzo? And what kind of reporter finds a story with regional implications and only focuses on its impact to one particular neighborhood? And what kind of editor doesn't proof this story and explain this to the reporter and direct her to rewrite the story in the broader context so it will appeal to a larger audience? Only on The Patch. Its amazing this poorly steered ship with a crew that changes every other week is still afloat.
