Sikhism is often a misunderstood religion
After the tragic shootings at a Sikh temple in Illinois earlier this month, many people seem to have questions about this religion. Sikh men are often confused with Muslims because they both often have facial hair and wear turbans. Although Sikhism is a major world faith (20 million members, at least 250,000 in California, including more than 50,000 in the Bay Area), most people may not know much about this faith.
Red Phone: Highway needs cleaning
"Hi, I was just wondering why South County never cleans up around the on and off ramp around Leavesley Road and on the freeway. Don't we have someone that represents us in South County?

Uncommon–Core Curriculum
For many years all I did was run. Sometimes I would stretch, a little. Sometimes I would do some yoga, a little. But mostly I just ran. If I wanted to run faster, I ran faster in training. If I wanted to run farther, I ran farther in training—longer long runs, more miles per week. I would read about cross training—do some bicycling, swimming, elliptical. Never did it. Not much anyway. I like to run. I don’t have the time or inclination to go to a pool or a gym or dust off a bicycle.
