David Hamilton...
Steel sculpture, welded with light and thought.

OH... I don't have any pages right about him or doings right now, but Wally Hedrick, the astonishing and wonder-filled painter and Fix-it Shop owner/operator that came to the fore in San Francisco during the "Beat" days... is our local media-mogul!
Wally was a partner in Six Gallery , where Ginsberg first read "Howl"... with Kerouac passing the hat and whupping a burgundy bottle in time, chanting "Go" and Cassady listening in...
If you're driving through The Town of Bodega from Noon to Two, tune in to 103 FM.
That's Wally's 100 milli-watt Wall of Sound Radio Station.
Superb old recordings of Poetry, Music and Political Manure Manuevering...

The Judi Bari Homepage
Here's a collection of some links about the best agitator, organizer and natural force the North West has seen in a long time.
In the spirit of Mother Jones, Judi Bari would not accept coporate decimation of The Old Growth Redwoods. The FBI's infamous Co-Intel agents abused her rights. Somebody or a group, exploded a bomb under her butt. She kept fighting through the anguish of fallen trees and the physical pain from the bombing.
It took the greater natural force of cancer to take her body. Nothing will still her voice, stop her will or reverse her actions.

O'Reilly Project in Sebastopol goes to court!
The City Council affected a bunch of us on The Coast and The River. Legal action is the only means left to stop this inapropriately sited Development cloaked with PC, mis-represented facts and sucking up to the pastiche of The Internet and its Corporate Icons.

Even though they Roasted Sebastopol, LAFCO approves O'Reilly Development!
Next Stop The Courts!
The jerks at LAFCO ...( Are you listening Tim Smith??? You know what HE DID ,he said how lousy a job Sebastopol did of planning, THEN he went and voted for it!) approved what they very specifically said was "not just BAD planning, but planning by convenience! Planning that went against common sense , and not to come back to LAFCO again in this fashion... Then they voted 4-3 in favor of the horrendous traffic, planning and land-use mess! Tim O'Reilly was very revealing in saying Sebastopol had guided him toward that site! Even though light industrial growth was set on paper, COLOR-CODED to take place on the south side of Town! The City was pushing a bad site on Tim from the beginning! How much extra money did he have to spend following the screwed-up direction of The City of Sebastopol!
