Regional: Bay Area Homeowners Can Apply For Grants To Replace Wood-Burning Stoves

Bay Area homeowners can now apply for grants of up to $15,000 to replace wood-burning stoves and fireplaces with electric heat pumps under a new regional clean-air program. In a statement Friday, the Bay Area Air District announced that financial assistance is being offered to homeowners who want to replace wood- or pellet-burning stoves, fireplace inserts and open-hearth fireplaces with electric heat pumps. A separate option is available for homeowners who want to remove open-hearth fireplaces or uncertified wood-burning devices without replacing them.

Bay Area high school football fans, especially those around Acalanes (Lafayette, Calif.) keep trying to convince Tyler Winkles to pursue the sport at the next level. Perhaps after Winkles' performance Friday in a stunning 70-54 win at heavily-favored Pittsburg, the speedy, athletic quarterback with a baseball scholarship to Washington State secured will change his mind.

Crime, Judgment, and America, on PBS

In the early 1990s, I worked as a law student intern in the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. This meant visiting pretrial detainees in the Hall of Justice at 850 Bryant Street, a forbidding, seven-story concrete block that was an apt physical manifestation of what prison-reform advocates like to call “the carceral state.” One of our clients was a Salvadoran teenage gang member who had slashed his stepfather’s throat with a box cutter. He was, in a limited sense, quite likable. Among the many ironies of criminal defense work is that the most serious offenders are often the most relatable.

SF Zoo’s Last African Lions to Move to Colorado Sanctuary

Beloved lions’ new home features 3 facilities with a combined 40,000 acres. This past May, San Francisco Zoo & Gardens announced that it would be transferring its remaining African lions to a new home to better support their welfare needs as they age. When seeking a new home in conjunction with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan (SSP) for African Lions, one of the main requirements was that the facility be either an accredited institution or an SSP-vetted and approved wildlife sanctuary. Today, the Zoo has announced that its 11-year-old male Jasiri, and 12-year-old female, Marvella (also known as Lulu) will transfer next year to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado.
