Snapp Shots: East Bay cat rescue group holding auction to raise funds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past May, Island Cat Resources and Adoption (ICRA) got a request for help with a family of kittens that had taken up residence in an Alameda backyard. A feral mom had given birth to five babies, and the homeowner was providing food and water to the whole family. The Alameda-based ICRA stepped in to humanely trap and whisk them away to a local vet for spay/neuter surgery. Mom was too wild to be socialized, so she was spayed and returned to her yard, where she has loving care and shelter ever
Snapp Shots: On anniversary of 9/11, spirit of unity must be rebuilt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I remember everything, though, from the smoke emanating out of the North Tower of New York City’s World Trade Center after the first strike to the final collapse of both towers and the loss of more than 3,000 Americans in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, along with the days that followed, with hundreds of frantic relatives posting pictures of their missing loved ones at the crash sites, hoping against hope that they would somehow turn out to be alive.

However, in 2021 a CBS News investigation found that many donors assumed part of their contributions would filter down to their local animal
Snapp Shots: New police chief good news for Oakland, bad for bad guys (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Correction: A previous online version of this column said Oakland Police Chief James Beere received two Silver Stars for his military service in Iraq. Beere received a Bronze Star with a “V” for “valor” and a Purple Heart. Good news! Jim Beere, the Oakland Police Department’s interim chief, isn’t the interim chief any more. After an eight-month search for a department leader, Mayor Barbara Lee has taken the “interim” out of his job title. He’s now the permanent chief. In his short time as interi
Snapp Shots: East Bay librarian offers up kids’ summer reading list (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was a kid, they used to make us read as a punishment for being naughty. I always thought that sent the wrong message to children: that reading is something to fear. They should have been giving us reading as a reward for being good instead. Years later, at one of my college reunions, we had a guest speaker: the great historian John Morton Blum, who told us, “Yes, you can learn a lot by reading; but in the final analysis, the best reason to read is that it’s just so much fun!” In that spir
