International Women’s Day in Fort Bragg in pictures

Linda and I enjoyed taking photos at the two events in Fort Bragg for International Women’s Day, the one inside Town Hall celebrating history from the Daughters of the Golden West and outside, the big protest. Check out the Mendocino Voice story.

Brutus almost became an awful story of the event. With a Trumper yelling, people honking their horns and chanting, he suddenly freaked out and stood up straight, threw off his leash and ran across the highway to find Linda. The marchers protected him automatically and all was fine but we are not doing anything without a harness from now on.

The Raging Grannies of Mendocino Facebook page has a shocking video of French women protesting rising facism around the world topless and angry. I thought it was an appropriate reaction to what is going on, a wake up call, but it might be odd for me to post it as a man. What do you think?

Frank Hartzell has spent his lifetime as a curious anthropologist in a reporter's fedora. His first news job was chasing news on the streets of Houston with high school buddy and photographer James Mason, back in 1986. Then Frank graduated from Humboldt State and went to Great Gridley as a reporter, where he bonded with 1000 people and told about 3000 of their stories. In Marysville at the Appeal Democrat, the sheltered Frank got to see both the chilling depths and amazing heights of humanity. From there, he worked at the Sacramento Bee covering Yuba-Sutter and then owned the Business Journal in Yuba City, which sold 5000 subscriptions to a free newspaper. Frank then got a prestigious Kiplinger Investigative Reporting fellowship and was city editor of the Newark Ohio, Advocate and then came back to California for 4 years as managing editor of the Napa Valley Register before working as a Dominican University professor, then coming to Fort Bragg to be with his aging mom, Betty Lou Hartzell, and working for the Fort Bragg Advocate News. Frank paid the bills during that decade + with a successful book business. He has worked for over 50 publications as a freelance writer, including the Mendocino Voice and Anderson Valley Advertiser, along with construction and engineering publications. He has had the thrill of learning every day while writing. Frank is now living his dream running MendocinoCoast.News with wife, Linda Hartzell, and web developer, Marty McGee, reporting from Fort Bragg, California.
