Curvy woman needs waltz dress

By Doni Greenberg • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

No offense, guys, but I need a moment alone with the women, please.

It’s about my waltz dress for Dancing with the Stars.

Help me help me help me!

The only thing I’ve got are my shoes. Wait, I take that back. I didn’t even get the correct dance shoes. Wrong color.…

Skip fireworks, celebrate independence from fire

By Doni Greenberg • Jul 1st, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

If you want to see fireworks Friday, you may have to travel to Mount Shasta.

Because the north state’s fire conditions are crazy dry and dangerous, fireworks celebrations have been canceled and/or postponed left and right. 

Extinguished fireworks include: Saturday’s Burney Basin Days fireworks (yes for Basin…

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 29th, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Note from Doni: The following column, Wally Herger rides to rescue Ridge, was first published in the Paradise Post on June 28, written by that paper’s editorial board. I thought you might find it interesting.

Wanted: Your fire 411

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 24th, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Food for Thought has some fire information sources for you:

We’ve posted this Cal Fire web site in our announcement box. Because it’s a California-wide site, it’s a bit circuitous to navigate. But it’s a good start.

Also, we offer this Google Earth Map with dots that represent area fires. (This requires high-speed…

Smoke, fire, fear

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Saturday morning Bruce and I sat under the cover of our back deck and watched God’s weather channel. Lightning zigged and zagged. Thunder rocked and rolled. We smelled the rain before we heard its ping on the roof overhead. The…

When downtown destruction is a good thing

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 22nd, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Get a good look at the roof on The Mall in Downtown Redding. It’s about to undergo a major make-over that will begin with some long overdue demolition to begin its beautification.

As you might recall, the Redding Redevelopment Agency awarded…

The men said, “I do”

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 18th, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Tuesday I arrived so early inside The Mall in downtown Redding that the Shasta County Clerk’s office wasn’t open.

I was there for an important occasion: A gay couple would be the first to marry in Shasta County after the California Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriages.

But this wasn’t just any…

Last days for hybrid tickets

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 17th, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

The last time I felt that nervous while driving in the Convention Center parking lot was when teaching my kids to drive.

My fears were the same: A wreck or fender-bender.

This time, I was the one behind the wheel as I test drove a…

Story’s just begun for Shasta High paper

By Doni Greenberg • Jun 14th, 2008 • Category: THOUGHT: What's on Doni's mind

Dear Shasta High School newspaper students,

You have my deepest sympathies regarding the death of the Shasta High Volcano, your school newspaper.

I’m also saddened to hear that your MIA adviser allowed you to take the heat for a few students’ controversial…
