Light's zucchini contest ending The deadline for West Marin youngsters to enter the annual Light Contest for Heavy Zucchini is 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23. Local children can bring zucchinis grown in their family gardens to The Light, where they will be photographed with their squash. Before coming to The Light , youngsters should stop at Beckers' Whale of a Deli to get their zucchinis weighed. Cormorant rescue Steve Hill of the Marin Humane Society last Thursday collected a stranded Brandt cormorant that had curiously landed on Highway 1 near Five Brooks. They called the Humane Society and waited an hour and a half by the side of the road until help arrived.
Cormorants can only take flight from water.
Sewage hearing set The City of Santa Rosa will hold a public hearing Tuesday, Sept. 24, on the environmental report for its controversial plans for disposing of treated sewage. One of the proposed sites is in Two Rock near the Marin County line, which has alarmed many West Marin environmentalists and ranchers. The development would cover 108 acres. The remaining 2,048 acres on the two properties would be permanently preserved as open space with some public trails. Planning commissioners last week recommended that county supervisors approve the project's environmental-impact report, despite vocal protest by some residents of Lucas Valley.
