KDRT_DGS_Drought-March2021.png

Don and Lois talk about a wide variety of Spring gardening topics! Starting off with a mention of the warm weekend temperatures forecast, and about the latest update regarding California's ongoing drought, two years running. Today, the statewide figures are updated showing our region in "extreme drought" due to the low rainfall during our "typical" rain season September - March. Don talks about how this can especially impact our trees and other plants, and gives some watering advice. And of course, a return to the frequently asked questions such as: When is it best plant tomatoes? Mid-April!

COVID-19-YCCA-Jeneba-16x9.jpg

I became aware of Jeneba Lahai and her work with Yolo County Children's Alliance (YCCA) a few weeks ago when she spoke on a panel hosted by Yolo Community Foundation. She is the director of programs for YCCA, which helps families, particularly non-English speaking families, access services, learn valuable parenting skills, and find support. As an immigrant herself (she is originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa), Jeneba has particular insight into immigrant families' needs during the pandemic.

That's Life for Freddie Oakley in 2019

Thu, 03/18/2021 - 11:00am | Lois Richter

Freddie Oakley portrait

Do you remember when Freddie Oakley was our Elections official for Yolo County? She has done so much more than that! I've know Freddie for many years, interviewed her here several times, had her as a guest on my television series back in the 1990s, and she even hosted that show once ("Thoughtfulness" on DCTV). Today on That's Life, we reminisce about the old days (good old days? bad old days?) and hear what Freddie has been doing since she retired.

Retired? HAH! Busier than ever is more like it! Hope you enjoy the chat.
