* (update, 2025-08-19): We've been off the air since June, after a power spike fried both our transmitter and our studio board. The board is still out, awaiting parts (it's an old digital board... we finally found replacement internet blades for it from a broadcast supplier in Australia.)
At least we're back on the air, and got a little better coverage from the transmitter rebuild. Still flying on one engine, but we're finally up in the air again.

Think of it. Add the Mare Island Golf Course to our Preserve and San Pablo Bay Trail. Then, starting in October, as the Navy transfers to Vallejo, the Ammunition Depot, South Shore, and Western Magazine, add them to create a Regional Park.
The income from leasing the six Civil War houses and the over 30 beautiful industrial buildings will sustain the Park at no cost to taxpayers, while nature will be preserved, indigenous events, youth programs, hiking to the 360 degrees view, creative folks-arts and IT will have contemplative spaces.
We can do through our leaders. Please tell them.

The Master Gardeners are hosting a variety of events for the late summer into the fall.
Judy Hager starts things off on a presentation on the best methods for "Fertilizing Your Garden," 10 a.m. Aug. 29, at the Dixon Library, 230 N. First St.
One of the season highlights is the Fall Plant Exchange, scheduled for 2 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Master Gardener Office, 501 Texas St., in Fairfield.
"Fall is an ideal time for planting, benefiting both plants and gardeners. The warm soil and cooler air help roots establish and store nutrients, leading to stronger, more drought- and heat-tolerant plants in spring. Fall plantings also need less watering as temperatures drop and rain increases. Mulching remains essential for moisture retention," the Master Gardeners stated.
All items are free, but plants will be checked for pests or disease and discarded if infected.
Other Master Gardener events include:
• Compost Give Away Day: Sept. 13, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Dunnell Nature Park, 3351 Hillridge Drive. Fairfield will be providing free compost for residents who must bring their own container. There will be a Master Gardener table of experts there to answer questions.
• Nurseries vs. Home Improvement Garden Centers: Oct. 1, 6 p.m., Town Square Place, Vacaville. When it comes to picking the right plants, understanding the difference between nurseries and home improvement garden centers can make all the difference.
• Growing Sweet Peas, Oct. 11, 9 a.m., Dunnell Nature Park, 3351 Hillridge Drive, Fairfield. Sweet peas are a classic garden favorite: fragrant, colorful and perfect for cutting.

2025 Citizen Science Project: sampling the Napa River in Vallejo
Napa River water quality
Vallejo's Napa River has a long history of pollution from industrial sources, the local wastewater plant and rainwater runoff. Companies have been fined for violating water pollution laws during recent years. We want to sample the Mare Island Strait to better understand what's in the water, so we can work on improving the river strategically.
Why native plants?
Native plants are not only beautiful, they also benefit our ecosystem in multiple ways. Native plants require less water than non-native plants, and their robust root systems help filter and clean water before it runs off or percolates into the ground. Native plants don't rely on chemical fertilizers, an they provide food and shelter for native pollinators and wildlife.
Our free native plants are available to residents in 94590 or 94589 zip codes, where many neighborhoods have histories of discriminatory housing practices and increased pollution burdens.

Support the Monarch Migration
Help Monarch Watch Get Milkweeds in the Ground
Monarch butterfly numbers are at an all-time low. Many pollinators are declining as well. Loss of habitat threatens the monarch migration. Your support for habitat threatens the monarch migration. Your support for habitat restoration will help sustain monarchs, pollinators, ground-nesting birds and other wildlife. Over 70% of our native plants and more than 30% of our crops are pollinated by insects.
Your generous contributions allow us to work with nurseries to produce and distribute hundreds of thousands of milkweeds each year. Donations are used to underwrite our Free Milweeks for Restoration program through which we distribute milweeds to organizations that lack funds for habitat restoration.
Donate to Monarch Watch: monarchwatch.org/donate
To apply for free milkweeds, please visit monarchwatch.org/free-milkweeds
To obtain milkweeds for gardens, please visit our Milkweed Market via milkweedmarket.org
Visit Monarch Watch online at monarchwatch.org or connect with us via Facebook, Instagram, or X.com (Twitter) for the latest monarch news and information.

One of the most effective ways to help our planet be healthier is by adopting sustainable practices such as the five Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot.
WHATBIN.COM
Recycling saves precious resources, such as water and trees, and reduces energy consumption.
Materials such as paper, glass, and some metals and plastics are remanufactured and made into new products. Recology accepts a variety of materials for recycling.
The Recology website whatbin.com is an excellent tool to know, without a doubt, what goes in which bin.
YOUR PLASTIC BOTTLE CAPS CAN BE RECYCLED!
Once the plastic bottle is empty, screw the cap back on and put it in your blue bin.
Caps must be on the plastic bottle to be recycled, or they fall through the sorting machines and end up in the landfill.
COMPOSTABLE PLASTICS AREN’T
Compostable plastics are marketed as a green alternative to plastics. They are supposed to break down into compost. However, the reality is that we do not yet have the infrastructure to break these materials down. These items can’t be recycled either because they are not plastic and should not be mixed with plastic. Please put them in the landfill bin. Better yet, employ reusable containers and utensils.
PET WASTE GOES IN THE LANDFILL BIN
Our cats’ and dogs’ poop can contain harmful parasites and bacteria. If flushed or composted, these can end up in our waterways or food systems. And no one wants that.
Please put pet waste in the gray bin, even kitty litter that may be labeled “flushable.”
LANDFILL FACTS
When waste is sent to the landfill, nothing is sorted out.
This is why it’s especially important to keep recyclables, food scraps and other compostables, and hazardous waste out of the gray bin. Landfills can only hold so much material, and when they’re filled up, more dump space must be found.
Putting recycling in the landfill means wasting a lot of materials that could be used for new products.
Putting food scraps, yard trimmings, and other compostables in the landfill increases emissions of harmful gases, such as methane.
Putting hazardous materials, such as paints, solvents, and batteries in the landfill can start fires and release toxic compounds into the air.
Sort your discards to get the full benefits of recycling and composting and help protect the environment.
FARMS, NOT LANDFILL -
By participating in curbside collection for composting, you keep food scraps, yard trimmings, and food-soiled paper out of the landfill, thus reducing methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. Recology collects these materials and turns them into nutrient-rich compost that nurtures soils on local farms. In this way, composting helps close the loop on food production, making it an effective way to return valuable nutrients to the earth and promote healthy ecosystems.
Pick up Recology compost for use in your yard at 2021 Broadway, 8 AM – 3:30 PM Thursday – Saturday. Limit 2 bags while supplies last. Reusing, recycling, and composting are powerful ways to take action and make a positive difference for the planet.
CLEAR CLUTTER FOR FREE!
Use your annual Dump Coupon or one of your four free Bulky Item Pickups to remove big or heavy items that won’t fit in your bins.
The Dump Coupon, which you should have received in the mail, is good for a one-time use at the Devlin Road Transfer Station through the end of the year. You may drop off one load up to and not exceeding 1,000 pounds. The original coupon must be presented with an ID that matches the address of your Recology account.
A single-family residence Bulky Item Pickup is equivalent to 2 cubic yards (3ft x 3ft x 6ft): approximately 12, 32-gallon bags of trash and 3 oversized items such as furniture, mattresses, or a refrigerator.
Freon removal charges apply. Schedule a pickup by calling 707.552.3110 or emailing vallejocustomerservice@recology.com.
