Letters to the Editor 10.29.26

Daniel Muñoz shouldn’t have called the Weekly “fake news” (“It’s a nasty political season in Salinas with insults and media boycotts,” Oct. 22-28). That label is lazy and it’s been abused nationally. But this column misses the bigger point. Distrust of a local paper isn’t just a Trump-era reflex trickling down from D.C. It also comes from how the paper uses its influence close to home.

PG&E warns of new power shutoffs in 7 Northern CA counties. See areas at risk

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is warning that more than 600 customers in seven Northern California counties could lose electricity beginning Friday evening as strong, dry winds raise wildfire concerns, less than a week after widespread shutoffs left tens of thousands without power. The potential public safety power shutoffs could affect 644 customers in portions of Butte, Lake, Napa, Shasta, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties, according to PG&E’s latest estimates. But the possible outages are narrowly targeted, with the utility’s maps showing small, scattered areas in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and remote sections of the Coast Ranges. In Butte County, possible shutoffs are concentrated east of Paradise and Magalia, around the Concow area. In Shasta County, the areas under consideration follow portions of the Highway 299 corridor near Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek. Closer to Sacramento, only small pockets of western Yolo County and Solano County near the Napa County line are at risk. The maps do not show potential shutoffs in Sacramento, Woodland, Davis or West Sacramento. PG&E placed portions of all seven counties under a PSPS watch for Friday and Saturday, meaning outages were considered likely because of forecast high winds and dry conditions. The utility said
