The WMF Facebook Feed
The West Marin Feed gained traction as a Facebook page and many of the local followers still find it there. Times have changed and Twitter has taken over as a better news medium, but WMF still posts on Facebook at least two or three times a week.

The best part about Facebook (if there is one) is that there is a lot of really good information that people are able to add to stories in the comments. Unfortunately, you have to go to the Facebook post itself to see these comments, they cannot be imported onto this feed.

"Hi, my name is Scoby and I’m fundraising for Barbara Keady (aka The Village Snipper in Point Reyes Station). Barbara took a tumble a couple of weeks ago, falling from her outside deck down onto paving stones. She broke her tibia in two places and her fibula in four. Besides that she injured three of the four sides of her “ankle box”. She is in good spirits, but is now focused on healing, which will take two or three months.

Obviously, she can’t work, while at the same time she is obligated to pay rent on her shop as well as her home. So this fundraiser is to help Barbara pay her rent and other basic expenses while she is healing and without income."

"Hi, my name is Isabelle. I’m raising funds to help my mom with recovery from spinal surgery. Cecilia LeMieux is a hardworking single mother of 4 and the sole care provider for her 13 year old son. On September 4th she suffered serious trauma to her spine. She is receiving surgery to reconstruct her vertebrae. She has always supported her family and is now unable to care for herself due to this trauma. The money will be used to cover the cost of transportation, food, additional child care and assistance during recovery. Our mom has a big heart.

"California's chance of power outages will grow in the coming days, as the state prepares to enter the most brutal stretch yet of an ongoing heat wave, officials said Sunday.

Energy demand is expected to outpace supply starting Monday evening, and predictions for Tuesday show the state rivaling its all-time high for electricity demand, said Elliot Mainzer, president and chief executive officer of the California Independent System Operator.

Energy officials and power companies have been urging people since Wednesday to use less power from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. by keeping air conditioners at 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.5 degrees Celsius) or higher and avoiding using major appliances like ovens and dishwashers. Those so-called flex alerts have allowed the grid operator to keep the lights on so far.

On Saturday night, the state used about 44,000 megawatts of electricity, Mainzer said. By Tuesday, that's supposed to ramp up to more than 50,000 megawatts, nearing record levels of energy use set in 2006. But the state would rather curb demand to avoid that number than test the power grid's capability to respond."

It is a dangerous heat wave, but it also produced a pretty rare day in West Marin. Loads of traffic tonight leaving Point Reyes. Plan accordingly.
 Friday, September 2 ,2022 at 1:03pm
The big holiday weekend is here. And a major heat wave that gets hotter and hotter with peak highs supposed to be next Tuesday. Fortunately we've got the fog conditioner and some light NW winds in West Marin keeping us cool. The inland crowds may want that too and could head this way, so prepare accordingly. And if you live or are going over the hill, be safe!

This photo is of some locals reminding a boater out at Shell Beach in Inverness last weekend that it isn't safe to have a boat in the swimming area, because that's where swimmers are.

The Inverness Fair is happening on Saturday. Pancakes at 8am, booths, crafts and music go from 10am to 3pm. WMF may be there for a short window with some very limited edition stuff.

From the PRLight "“I know that beauty is subjective. It is true that bells are the largest instrument in the world.” Father Pizzuto was defending himself from complaints that the new bell at St. Columba’s Episcopal Church, which had been ringing a total of 177 times every day before going silent last week, ruptured the tranquility of Inverness.

A truck was stolen in SF and was found in San Anselmo. When the police tried to apprehend the robbers in the truck, they fled towards West Marin. Apparently they drove with one tire on fire down Sir Francis Drake, through Olema to Point Reyes Station with CHP chasing them and a helicopter overhead. Then they circled around Point Reyes Station a couple of times, the tires in the truck were blown out and they ditched the truck by the gas station. The two suspects then jumped out of the truck and were arrested. Video by Marc Matheson.

On Tuesday, July 5, my good friend Adam Neale lost consciousness while surfing at South Beach in Point Reyes. Five local surfers who were surfing with him, Lewis Samuels, Patrick Kent, Shawn Collins, Enzo Buckenmeyer and Cameron Wickliffe pulled him out of the water and began performing CPR. Oceanne Carriere, who was on the beach, called 911 and the local dispatcher coached them until the first responders showed up. Adam regained consciousness and was airlifted to a hospital in Santa Rosa where he made a full recovery. Those six people and the dispatcher saved his life and are true heroes. Thank you.

If you haven't been CPR certified, now is a good time to go do it. You might save a life someday.

From the Point Reyes Light, “Without cell reception to call 911, his friends agreed, he likely wouldn’t have survived. Mr. Collins said on Drakes Bay, or at Kehoe Beach, where cell phones don’t get a signal, his friend might not have been so lucky. A planned AT&T cell tower near the Point Reyes Lighthouse will expand service on the outer reaches of the seashore, but not for customers of other cell companies. Park rangers are planning to install four new beach safety stations at North and South Beaches, each equipped with rescue sticks, tourniquets and flotation devices. The rescue equipment could help bystanders rescue swimmers and surfers in an area where it often takes many minutes for emergency responders to arrive.”

The WMF Roll Into the Week weekly newsletter is out to get you prepped for the upcoming week in West Marin. This issue covers:

- Record rainfall (2.33" on Mt. Tam) this weekend which helped with fire danger.
- Marin Board of Supervisors meet about climate change mitigation projects.
- PG&E getting a lot of feedback about their E.V.M (Enhanced Vegetation Management) strategy and how many trees are being cut down.
- It was a great Western Weekend Parade on Sunday.
- A story in the New York Times about NIMBYs in Marin. "NIMBYs who used to be viewed as, at best, defenders of their community, and at worst just practical, are now painted as housing hoarders whose efforts have increased racial segregation, deepened wealth inequality and are robbing the next generation of the American dream."

A question for local folks. My wife, Dakota Whitney, says that she is unable to make calls on her cel phone on the weekends (we are on Verizon) and she thinks that it's because there are more people out here on the weekends which overwhelms that cellular networks. Others have said they have this experience too. Is this a universal thing? Do folks have degraded cel phone service on the weekends in West Marin?

This 'rare' license plate was found recently on eBay and Hilary Cheda assessed its value for WMF: "The ones that are really rare say Cheda's Chevrolet on top and Pt Reyes Station on the bottom - sold up until the early 80's. We have one here at the garage that was off of our old blue El Camino. The one that was sent to you was sold until the 90's when my grandpa stopped selling Chevrolets and General Motors would no longer allow us to use the name Cheda's Chevrolet. At that point we changed the license plate frames to read Cheda's Garage." (Thx AF for the find)
