Today's riddle: What has to be broken before you can use it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Hazmat Emergency Followed By Two Concord Fires (patch.com) — Concord residents saw a busy week for Contra Costa Fire as crews handled a hazardous fluorine leak at an industrial facility, safely evacuating workers and fully containing the gas. Firefighters then battled two separate house fires in Concord on consecutive days, including a roof-cutting operation on Babel Lane and a blaze on Andrews Drive that displaced residents and involved rescuing several pets.
• Janet Johnson, Sistas on the Links Founder Scores First-Ever Hole-in-One – African American Golfer's Digest (africanamericangolfersdigest.com) — Concord’s Skylinks at Buchanan Fields Golf Course was the scene of a memorable milestone when Sistas on the Links founder Janet Johnson scored her first-ever hole-in-one on March 29. Her 92-yard shot on Hole 3, witnessed by fellow club members, highlights both her dedication to the game and her broader work encouraging women’s fellowship and participation in golf.
• Vinnie's Not Coming to Brentwood After Planning Commission Denial (contracosta.news) — A popular Concord nightlife operator has decided not to expand to Brentwood after that city’s Planning Commission unanimously rejected a permit to allow cocktails at a similar venue there. Concord’s Vinnie’s Emporium was repeatedly cited as a successful, well-run example, including praise from a Concord police lieutenant, but Brentwood officials said their downtown plan and neighborhood concerns outweighed the proposal.
