• After parent hit in crosswalk, Calistoga families demand safer school drop-off (record-bee.com) — Families in Calistoga are pressing the school district and city for safer drop-off conditions at Calistoga Elementary after a parent was hit in a crosswalk this fall. Police have already stepped up patrols, while district and city staff study curb extensions, clearer crosswalks, designated drop-off zones, and more walking and biking programs. Officials say short- and long-term safety changes are now in motion. 
• A mic, a moment - and a movement: how poetry found its voice in Napa County (mercedsunstar.com) — Calistoga readers can now tap into a growing Napa County poetry scene, including rotating workshops at the local library led by county poet laureate Aisha Rivera. Alongside fellow organizer Brandon Tagle, Rivera is building welcoming, free open mics and classes that center accessibility, bilingual expression, and marginalized voices. Together, they’re turning scattered gatherings into a supportive creative network across the valley.
