Today's riddle: How far can a fast dog run into the woods? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Marin County warns of harmful insects on grapevines (marinij.com) — If you recently bought leafed-out grapevines from the Novato Costco, county agriculture officials want you to bag the plants and call them before moving or discarding anything, due to a harmful invasive insect. Marin has already destroyed dozens of infested vines and set traps at the store, as North Bay counties race to protect local vineyards and backyard gardens from potential damage.
• In Your Town for May 27, 2026 (marinij.com) — A Novato man was arrested after authorities say he started a small fire under a tree near the playground by Miwok Park on Novato Boulevard, which firefighters quickly put out before it spread. The roundup also notes a San Rafael arrest after an alleged bike-related assault and a Sausalito house fire in which a dog died, with residents escaping unharmed.
• De La Salle escapes Redwood comeback, advances to 14th consecutive NCS D1 title game (fresnobee.com) — Novato’s baseball team gets a brief but notable mention as one of the North Coast Section playoff opponents that pushed De La Salle into late-game pressure situations. The story focuses on De La Salle’s 7-6 semifinal win over Redwood and its upcoming NCS Division I title game against Granada, but underscores how earlier tight games with Heritage and Novato helped prepare the Spartans.
