It’s in The Bag … Read the Resident

The actual Willow Glen Resident website is updated through August 28! But WGx thought you might want to know what’s in the paper this week.

While we can’t reproduce the whole paper online, here are some of the bigger headlines from Friday, October 2, 2009:

• Residents divided as Council bans plastic, paper bags starting 2011; ‘Ramp-Up’ time aims to educate shoppers
  • Also on this topic this week , SJ City Councilmember laments the pending “plastic bag fee bureaucracy”
  • And a few weeks ago, WGx wondered aloud whether the pending “bag fee” would apply to other companies’ use of plastic bags … like the one your WG Resident might still be in?
    ;-P
• Cover Story: Women’s Work: program gives low-income women entrepreneurial skills … First Steps: Enterprising women launch business at flea market

And for some extra bonus coverage, a certain local WG-based toddler got a little free publicity in the SJ Mercury News today, as a result of his family attending Saratoga’s Harvest Wine Festival:

Trent Keene of Willow Glen, age 4, fired a barrage of wine corks from a muzzle-loaded air gun as his father, Aaron, watched from a safe distance. “As long as it’s not bullets,” Trent’s dad said, beaming. “What could be more fun to do with a cork?”
