Editor’s notebook: Calling all lemons

The wedding is less than two weeks away and there are several thoughts swirling through my head. Top of the list: Where can I find a good hamburger?

Sustainable living: Tough choices for over-the-hill commuters

Anyone who relies on a car to make ends meet (that is, nearly everyone in the U.S.) knows that gasoline is quickly approaching the $5 mark and may hit $6 a gallon by the end of the summer. With the lack of jobs in Santa Cruz County, especially in San Lorenzo Valley, we simply don’t have many choices other than driving “over the hill” for a paycheck.
