Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

In a story that many concertgoers were fearing, the cancelled Sierra Nevada World Music Festival has stated that it will not be able to give refunds to those that paid for tickets. The three-day festival that was supposed to occur in Boonville at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds was cancelled, but little was said about refunds to paying customers. This has happened before with other cancelled festivals in the U.S. Sometimes the festivals file bankruptcy to protect themselves. There also will be no refunds for packages that included lodging.
