In Kensington, we're dealing with a new neighbor who's installed multiple video surveillance cameras, including one pointed at our bedroom window. The red light flashes 24/7. She also has bright lights along her walkway and her front door. The front door light floods our bedroom, which is beginning to feel like a movie set.

Before doing anything drastic or offensive, please contact them personally to see what can be done to a mutually satisfactory result. We had a motion sensor light that turned out to affect a neighbor on the next block, and they very kindly presented the problem to us in a way that made us want to fix it. (Unlike a neighbor directly across the street who presented a very minor item with banging on our door and huffing in a most disagreeable way)

I believe Donh Casi's pictures of the smoke from the Chevron fire give a false impression. I could see the fire and smoke from my front porch. The smoke didn't come toward El Cerrito at all. The wind blew it over Richmond and San Pablo. A friend who lives in Carriage Hills in El Sobrante told me the smoke went directly over his house. The pictures give the impression that El Cerrito was immersed in a toxic cloud, but I never saw or smelled any smoke here.

El Cerrito and other cities have a light ordinance to prevent this kind of thing (intrusive lighting over fences and onto street). I suspect Kensington has the same. Check with the city planning dept. And ask your neighbor change the lights to turn on only with heat/motion.

Some in Richmond do not agree with your viewpoint. http://www.tombutt.com/forum/2013/1305010.htmRead More “I have never seen a public servant work harder for anything than WCCUSD School Board member Charles Ramsey worked to complete the District’s ambitious program to rebuild or upgrade every single school in the system.” I wonder how this court decision will impact WCCUSD. http://www.contracostatimes.com/breaking-news/ci_23447723/state-high-court-denies-review-alamedas-measure-h State high court denies review in Alameda's Measure H suit The ruling in the Alameda case is expected to have far reaching consequences for school districts throughout the state as similar lawsuits over parcel tax structures have been filed in Yolo, Contra Costa and Los Angeles counties.

The WCCUSD needs to hear what thoughts citizens have on this matter. Currently, the WCCUSD boardRead More meetings have placed the Public Comment period late in the meeting, making it difficult for folks to comment. I have started a petition for modifying the agenda. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/let-us-speak-wccusd/ In Hercules, we are still awaiting a correction to the taxation process, that apparently we are due a higher percentage as explained by Councilman Romero here http://pinole-hercules.patch.com/groups/opinion/p/2012-hercules-dan-romero Wouldn't it be ironic if Mr. Ramsey get's his wish before the citizens of Hercules get theirs?

Milton, your calm and reserved opinions certainly would serve you well in a leadership role.
