Mayor's Message
As Mayor of the City of Cotati, I'm pleased to
welcome you to our city.
Cotati has long been considered the "Hub" of
Mark Landman
Sonoma County, by virtue of its central location,
and its distinct and historic hexagonal plaza.
Surrounded by beautiful vistas of hills, vineyards, majestic oaks
and redwoods, Cotati offers all the benefits of living in a small
city, with the cultural advantages of being located near major
urban centers and a highly acclaimed state university. Cotati's
roots are steeped in agriculture and music, and our citizens are
proud of the diverse and charming community that has been
shaped by over 100 years' history.

We encourage you to come and visit, and in the process discover
the spirit of Cotati. While you're here, enjoy our public art
displays and visit our new Historical Society Museum located
in City Hall. If you come for a visit, you might want to pack for
a lifetime: my wife Jan and I stopped by 26 years ago, and the
result was that we chose to make Cotati our home.

of its mixed-use development and "green" building programs.

something for everyone. Our annual Kids' Day Parade and
Festival, our wonderful summertime Farmers' Market, the Cotati
Jazz Festival, Oktoberfest, our annual Holiday Tree Lighting
Celebration, and the Cotati Accordion Festival, the largest
Accordion Festival in California, all take place in historic La
Plaza Park, in the heart of Cotati.

Message from the Cotati Chamber President
Cotati Chamber of Commerce is in many ways not much different than other Chambers in that
we strive to enhance our business community. We do this in several ways which include our
Quarterly Speaker Series, Open Houses and Ribbon Cutting Celebrations, Breakfast Meetings,
After Hours Mixers and our weekly "Chamber Update" emailed each week to our data base of
businesses and interested individuals.
Patrick McCarty
How we are different than most other Chambers is that we have developed a slogan: "Working
together to build a prosperous, happy and safe community." I think the key word of our slogan is community. I can think of
no other organization that strives harder to bring together our business proprietors, citizens and visitors into a thing called
community. Our events demonstrate that intention year round. Our Farmers' Market, Kids Day Parade and Celebration,
Jazz Festival, Oktoberfest and multi-evening holiday events are just some of the ways that we choose to bring the people of
Cotati and our neighbors together, inclusively, as we actively seek to accomplish the goals that we have chosen.
I have been active in the Cotati Chamber for several years and cannot recall a single luncheon meeting, breakfast meeting,
ribbon cutting, open house or event of any kind that was deemed "members only." I invite each and every one of you to
participate in any way that you might choose in the many activities provided by the Cotati Chamber of Commerce. A good
place to start might be to send an email to; [email protected] and ask to be added to our data base so that you can receive
our weekly Chamber Update that will keep you informed of what's going on in our community.
I look forward to seeing those of you that I know, and meeting those of you whom I haven't met yet, as we work together to
build a prosperous, happy and safe community.

Education in Cotati projects. At Technology Middle School, faculty team up with
Technology High School teachers to design thematic units
targeting science, mathematics, and engineering.
Rancho Cotate High School is known for its comprehensive high
school programs and outstanding sports teams. An instructional

this campus as a place where students can fully prepare themselves
for life beyond high school. Rancho students may select from among
six pathways based on their specific interests: Liberal Arts; Health,
Science, and Medical Technologies; World Languages; Media
Arts and Business; Visual and Performing Arts Entertainment; and
Clean Technologies: Design, Automotive and Construction.
Cotati's 2nd school - Built in the early 20th Century

four preschools to serve the youngest citizens and extending through
the university years at Sonoma State University, immediately

6,000 students in Cotati and Rohnert Park. The tenets “All students

bicycling distance of some neighborhoods in Cotati, but school bus
service is also available.
SSU has a state‑of‑the‑art library and information center, and
the recently open Green Music Center is designed to become
one of the great concert halls of the world. The Wine Business
Institute in the School of Business & Economics is one of the
only programs in the U.S. to focus exclusively on the business
aspects of the wine industry. Each year SSU sponsors hundreds
of seminars, workshops, lectures, conferences, exhibits and other
programs open to the public. The Center for the Performing Arts
and University Art Gallery are also major local attractions.
Lawrence E. Jones Middle School and Technology Middle School
serve students sixth through eighth grade. Middle school students
receive a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum delivered in a safe
and caring environment. Students participate in band, visual and
performing arts, language, and intramural sports. Student leadership
activities promote citizenship and achievement. Students participate
in career guidance and exploration through clubs and events. Parent
partnership is a high priority and is essential for student success.

Prue Draper –
Prue became the secretary for the Cotati Chamber of Commerce and
Lloyd was a member of the Cotati Volunteer Fire Department. After
they sold the paper Lloyd went to work for a printing company in
San Francisco while Prue worked for the Argus Courier from 1970
until 1977.
Cotati's Woman of the Year
By Chuck Lucas
In 1942 Kate Hepburn was nominated for
an Academy Award for her acting in the
film, “Woman of the Year”. In 2013 Prue
Draper was nominated and won FOUR
“Woman of the Year” awards. She won
these awards from the city, county, state
and national offices of; the City of Cotati,
David Rabbitt, the County Supervisor,
Prue with recently donated Jim Boggio accordion Petaluma, State Senator of the 3 District,
at the Cotati Historical Society Museum
Lois Wolk and U.S. Representative, Mike
Thompson of the Fifth Congressional District. That's a grandslam
of “Woman of the Year” awards.
But they were looking for adventure. After considering purchasing
a coconut plantation in Tonga they decided they would apply for the
Peace Corps. After waiting for a Pacific Island country in need of
someone to teach printing skills they finally got their opportunity in
Western Samoa. They locked everything up and left.
When Prue got back in 1979 she went to work at the Rohnert Park
– Cotati Times as a reporter. Here she wrote about the controversial
issue of the day on whether to allow Hewlett-Packard to build a
new campus on Petaluma Hill Road. HP hired her as a secretary
for the facilities manager. HP was looking for a name for the road
that led from Petaluma Hill Road to their new offices. It was Prue
Draper who came up with the name Valley House Drive after the
former road house located on the corner of East Railroad Avenue
and Petaluma Hill Road. Prue and Lloyd were determined to take an
early retirement. That didn't last too long and Prue was asked by the
Press Democrat columnist and historian, Gaye LeBaron, to become
her temporary assistant for six months. It turned out to be two years.
A Georgia native, Prue grew up in Petaluma where her father had a
chicken ranch. After graduating from Petaluma High she attended
UC Berkeley. In 1950, while a camp counselor at Camp Noya, she
became enamored with a young scout leader Lloyd Draper. Within
a year they were married and moved to Cotati when Lloyd's cousin,
Ed Runyon, enlisted the adventurous couple to help him run his
newspaper, The Cotatian. Runyon owned two newspapers and asked
Prue and Lloyd if they would like to buy the Cotati paper. They did.
They ran the paper, doing everything themselves from writing, layout,
photography and printing. Here they raised their three children and
ran the paper and print shop until 1965.
In 1989 they again tried their hand at retirement and traveled around
the entire US in their RV taking many cross-country trips. They
eventually traveled the world visiting “almost every” Pacific Island,
Costa Rica, Peru, the Galapagos like Hope and Crosby making
“Road” pictures.
During this time she and Lloyd were among the City founders of
Cotati, chairing the Incorporation Committee in 1963 that led to the
successful incorporation of Cotati as a city.
Prue was a board member of SSU's “Friends of the Library” and a
docent at the Petaluma library's history room. In 2004 the Drapers
authored Images of America Cotati published by Arcadia Publishing
(www.arcadiapublishing.com)) a wonderful glimpse of Cotati's past.
Arch’s Glass Inc.
As many of the old time social clubs like the Oddfellows lost
membership and closed they called Prue and Lloyd to see if they
had room for their collection of historic items. The Drapers said
they would take the items in and promised that someday they would
find a permanent home for them. In 2007 they began pursuing the
dream of a historical museum for Cotati. With the help of attorney
Maurice Fredericks of Rohnert Park, they began the legal process
to incorporate as a non-profit organization. It took three years but
on June 22, 2007 the incorporation was completed and the couple
fulfilled their promise when they found a home for the museum in
the back of the old police station in what is now City Hall. Today, the
museum is a beautiful gem that displays the history of Cotati from
the Miwoks to the present day including the recent donation of Jim
Boggio's accordion. Prue served as the first president of the museum
and now is its historian.

Prue's partner in adventure, Lloyd B. Draper, died on April 1, 2010
but Prue, 83, still has twice the energy and drive of people half her
age. Her courage, determination and stamina are to be admired and
she has finally been recognized with these four well-deserved awards.

COTATI'S GOLDEN

By Chuck Lucas
The area that is now Cotati was once the bountiful domain of the
hunter-gatherer society of Coast Miwok

the Kota'ti who lived for millennia upon the lush marshes, creeks,
valleys and peaks of Sonoma County. The fish, fowl and game were
plentiful. The natives called

that the missions were
to be secularized in
1834. By 1837 they
had begun handing
out land grants to

Mexico's
claim to the area Three of the city's esteemed founders
that was also coveted by the Russians and British.
The 17,238 acre Rancho Cotati was first granted to Texas native
Captain Juan Castenada in July 1844 and contained the modern
Cotati, Rohnert Park and parts of Penngrove. Unable to pay
the troops it was common at the time that loyal soldiers were
paid off in land grants. Castenada, who preferred to live in San
Francisco, was unable to find enough workers this far north and
was in danger of losing the land grant and decided to sell it off.

1777 to alert the citizens that the British were on their way.
Larkin, a major land holder in California, and whom some
considered to be one of the wealthiest Americans, then sold it
to a Mr. Thomas S. Ruckle. During the Bear Flag Rebellion
of 1846 the deeds of the ranchos were lost or destroyed.
When Dr. Page died his sons took over the management of
the ranch. In his will, Page set forth terms that the land could
not be subdivided until his youngest son, William, turned
25 years of age in 1892. This made it the last of the large
California land grants to be broken up into smaller parcels.
In 1849 Ruckle sold it to Dr. Thomas Stokes
Page for $16,000 a substantial sum in those
days. Page was born in New Jersey in 1815
and at the tender age of 21 Page graduated
from the University of Pennsylvania School
of Medicine (est. 1765). Page was practicing
medicine in Valparaiso, Chile where he met
Faxon Atherton, also from Massachusetts,
who suggested to Page that he should come
to Northern California. As is often the case
in waves of immigration, it was Larkin who
Dr. Thomas Stokes Page
suggested that Atherton, (who made his
fortune in shipping, import and export in the Gold Rush), should
come to northern California. The city of Atherton bears his name.
The unique hexagonal layout of the center of Cotati mirrored
Page's hexagonal barn. The Page barn was located at the present
site of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. The streets that border La
Plaza as it's known today were named by Wilfred Page after the
six male children of the Pages: Henry, Charles, Arthur, George,
William and Olof. His sisters received no such accolades but
Wilfred named a street after himself on what he saw to soon be a
major thoroughfare, but is in fact, but a lonely little road in Rohnert
Park that runs from the 101 Freeway and fades to the west of
Stony Point Road. The hexagonal layout of the “Hub” resembled a
wagon wheel and although found in Europe and Washington D.C.,
it is very rarely seen in the U.S. and in 1973 it was declared a State
Historical Landmark.
In 1870 the San Francisco and Northern Pacific Railroad ran from
Petaluma to Santa Rosa. Along the way they had a water and wood
stop for their locomotives at what was called Page's Station later to
be called “Cotate,” with an “e”. It is said that folks found the name
difficult to pronounce and it was changed to “Cotati,” with an “i”.
By 1893 the Page brothers formed the Cotati Land Company
and started selling real estate in parcels of five to twenty
acres. The brothers kept 4,000 acres for their own ranch
and sold off about 9,000 acres to eager buyers. This
Due to the disarray of the land grant records it took Page and his
lawyers seven years of struggle with U.S., California, Mexican
and Spanish laws to prove his ownership. Page in the mean time
had established a large cattle operation in absentia and had a large
home built on a small hill overlooking modern Cotati. Page and his
wife, Anna, returned to Chile during that time until illness caused
him to return to California in 1869 where he remained until his
death in 1872 at age 57.

would become the beginning of the egg industry and soon
wooden chicken houses covered the verdant hillsides.
George P. McNear, a Petaluma pioneer who arrived in California
in 1856 and built an empire and fortune in the grain, shipping,
banking, real estate and railroad businesses, purchased the
remainder of the rancho and, like the Pages, was an absentee
landlord. The management of the ranch fell to the care of Fred
Keppel a blacksmith, who was born in Marin County in 1878.
Two
young
lawyers,
Paul Golis, a native of
Scranton, Pennsylvania
and a graduate of
Duke
Law
School
and Petaluma native,
Maurice
Fredericks,
of the University
of Santa Clara Law
School, joined forces in a
law firm that had clients from the building
and construction industry. The idea to create a planned city
from scratch appealed to their business sensibilities and they
started to plan the new town of Rohnert Park in 1954. The duo
made a trip down to Hollister and offered the Rohnert family $200
for each of the 2,700 acres ($540,000). An appeal to the County
Supervisors was approved for a special assessment district to
finance the infrastructure of the new community. In his A History
of Rohnert Park: From Seed to City John H, DeClercq said, “The
new district consisted of two rental houses, a barn, flooded fields
and pheasants, but not a single tree and four adults living in the
district boundaries.”
By 1915 local farmers from the towns of Penngrove and Cotati
donated the right of way for the construction of the Redwood
Highway. that would run from Petaluma to Santa Rosa. It
was the major thoroughfare until the freeway came in 1957.
In 1929 McNear sold the property to Waldo Emerson Rohnert a
Detroit native who was an honors student from the Michigan State
Agricultural College who graduated in 1889. The elder Rohnert
became associated with Charles Copeland Morse, “The American
Seed King,” and founder of the Morse Seed Company. Rohnert
grew seed crops of sweet peas (as seen on RP's signs as an emblem
of its past) onions, lettuce, carrots, mustard and garlic. After Waldo's
death in 1933 the operation was taken over by his son, Fred Rohnert,
a Stanford Law School graduate. The younger Rohnert managed the
company from Hollister but his business of the wholesale selling
of vegetable seeds was such an agricultural success that it was
considered second only to Santa Rosa's Luther Burbank gardens.
After World War II was over and the GI's came home to Sonoma
County, the fields, orchards and pastures began to catch the eye
of developers looking to convert the fertile ag lands to tract
homes for young families eager to buy into the American Dream.
In 1957 the Golis family moved into the first residential home built
in Rohnert Park on Adele Avenue. By 1960 there were rumblings
by the community leaders of Rohnert Park about incorporating as
a city. It was put up for election but was defeated by a vote of 118
to 85. But that didn't end the debate. Some people wanted to merge
the towns of Rohnert Park and Cotati into a single city to be called
Cotati Park. Some only wanted to incorporate Rohnert Park while

Rohnert Park then re-hired Zion to explore the incorporation of
just Rohnert Park. Zion proposed that it would be better for RP
to handle it's own services and would be an upgrade over what
the County could provide. The County was petitioned to allow an
election to decide about the incorporation of the town. In a vote
of 308 to 238 the vote passed and on Tuesday, August 28, 1962,
Rohnert Park would be incorporated becoming the fourth largest
city in the county with a population of 2,775 people. Rohnert
Park would become the first city since 1905 to incorporate.
others didn't want either of those proposals. Dr. Bill Kortum DVM,
one of the founders of Cotati and the chairman of the incorporation
boundary committee wrote, “A number of meetings had occurred
between citizens of the two unincorporated communities: experts
were consulted, the Manual of Incorporation by Scott was
obtained and a mutual incorporation was proposed. Paul Golis was
adamantly opposed to the mutual incorporation, claiming that the
lack of planning, old sewers and inadequate streets of old Cotati
would bankrupt a new city. Cotati's volunteer fire department was
providing protection for Rohnert Park. Cotati had spearheaded and
secured the placement of
Sonoma State College
on East Cotati Avenue
(bumper stickers read
“College in Cotati –
It's a Natural”) and
Rohnert Park's public
utility district was to
provide the college
with sewer connections.
Then the astute Dr. Kortum was struck by a thought, “The
Wednesday morning following Tuesday's Rohnert Park
incorporation election, I realized that the official recognition
of the vote tally would not occur for a week. On the following
Tuesday the County Clerk would report the vote tally to the Board
of Supervisors, after which the Board would certify the election.
I knew that Rohnert Park, once a city, could under state law veto
any incorporation of a new city as close as Cotati.” Because of Dr.
Kortum's busy veterinary practice two days passed before he was
able to call Prue and Lloyd Draper who published The Cotatian,
Cotati's local newspaper. The Drapers put the paper to press on
Thursdays and wouldn't be available until Friday morning. “Prue
and Lloyd began work on Friday morning to set up the paper work
and obtain the petition signatures under the guidance of the Scott's
Manual of Incorporation. The goal was to file a petition to initiate
the incorporation of Cotati on Tuesday morning before the Board
of Supervisors could declare Rohnert Park a city.” The pressure
was on to incorporate Cotati over a short four day weekend.
In addition to Kortum and the Drapers, they were joined by local
realtor Joe Dorfman, Dr. Fred Groverman DVM, Al Falletti,
Cotati North Plaza, early 20th Century
In 1962 William T.
Zion was hired to investigate the practicality of the two towns
incorporating under the same umbrella. Zion came to the
conclusion that it was “feasible, but not advised” to have the
two towns incorporate together citing the costly infrastructure
problems of Cotati's sewers and roads. Dr. Kortum continued,
“A breakaway group led by Golis filed for separate incorporation
but the boundary lines did not include the new college site.”

College, an acceptable maneuver under Scott's Manual. Soon
our reading of Scott's direction revealed the need to a metes
and bounds description of the map, an enormous undertaking.
Joe Dorfman, in the proper spirit, called a number of people
qualified to work on metes and bounds description and finally
reached the wife of a person who turned out to be on a fishing
boat on Bodega Bay. A shortwave radio call was made to the
boat and the man came in from fishing to start a whole weekend
of boundary description.” Unfortunately, the man's name has
been lost and his name remains a mystery. Calls to the County
recorder to find his name have not been returned as of this time.
Anyone with information about him should contact the Cotati
History Museum at 707-794-0305 or email at [email protected].
Even more incredible is that the work was done without the aid of
attorneys which would be unheard of today. That would become
problematic. Dr. Kortum sums it up this way, “Unfortunately
the final word from County Counsel was that the fifty foot wide
corridor to Sonoma State was not wide enough to meet the recently
passed state law (LAFCO) regarding the width of city controlled
corridors. Sadly the University of California publication on
incorporation written by Scott that allowed the 50 ft. corridor had
not been rewritten
to accommodate the
new law. Cotati lost
its hard won claim
to Sonoma State's
geographical identity.
But we provided
the opportunity for
Cotati to decide
its
own
future.”
Over the weekend of August 25th to the 26th of 1962 Lloyd and
Prue Draper began to collect the signatures of property owners
to incorporate the city. On Monday morning they succeeded
in delivering the petition, proper paper work and the metes and
bounds map to the Board of Supervisors with only hours to spare
before Rohnert Park would be certified as a city by the Board
of Supervisors. The Board granted the petition from the Cotati
citizens and an election was held on July 2, 1963 with a turnout of
84% with 278 voting for incorporation and 47 voting against the
proposal. Prue Draper notes that the Cotati History Museum has
records showing that the election total costs were less than $100.00.
The citizens of Cotati
owe a great debt of
gratitude to the City
Founders for their
tireless
dedication,
determination
and
very hard work for
making the City of
Cotati the thriving
community that it
is today.

COTATI AT 50! MUSIC IN THE AIR!

Cotati is a town rich with music and the arts, a thriving hub of
northern California’s long tradition of contemporary culture, and
this year’s musical celebrations will have the added sparkle of
Cotati’s 50th Anniversary!
Music &
Live Events
in Cotati
The 33rd Annual Cotati Jazz Festival takes place on Sunday, June
16th in La Plaza Park, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and then from 4
p.m. on at various downtown clubs and restaurants. With jazz
ensembles playing all over downtown Cotati, it’s been called the
biggest little jazz festival in Sonoma County! With half a dozen
different clubs and restuarants to see live bands, all the musical
events are within walking distance, and admission is free to the
park and all venues.
With its share of renowned studios and legendary clubs like
the Cotati Cabaret and Inn at the Beginning, Cotati has become
famous for its longtime music events like the Jazz and Accordion
festivals, but musical events of all kinds, great and small,
contemporary and classical, take place in Cotati all year around.
The heart of Cotati’s cultural identity is highlighted once again
this year by the 23rd Annual Cotati Accordion Festival which
will take place Saturday and Sunday, August 17 & 18, 2013 in
La Plaza Park. It’s a multi-cultural extravaganza of squeeze-box
serenades, polka dancing, jam sessions and bands from all around
the world playing everything from polka to conjunto. From 9:30
a.m. - 8:30 p.m. both days, opening with an accordion parade, the
festival is supported by the City of Cotati, and Sonoma County’s
Cultural Arts Council. There will be 30 acts featuring Russian,
Klezmer, Italian, Punk, Irish, Polka, Rock, Zydeco, Tex-Mex,
Country and a Circus. The festival also includes the Jam Tent, the
Polka Tent, and Zydeco Dance Party, the arts and crafts vendors,
and plenty of food, wine and beer. Tickets will be available online
at www.cotatifest.com, at all Oliver’s Markets, People’s Music,
and The Last Record Store.
The Green Music Center has proved
its potential as a world class venue
with top class musicians, both
classical and contemporary - the
classical with the return of Lang
Lang and the legendary Itzhak
Perlman, and the contemporary
with Lila Downs, Carmina Burana
and Herbie Hancock among many others. Of course the Green
Center has also become a great resource for music students - the
orchestras and many other classical ensembles on campus.
There are many clubs and bars in Cotati with a variety of live
music most nights of the week. And if you just want to go out
dancing or listen to the jukebox, there are choices too. Friar
Tucks Pub is a great bar for dancing, especially the infamous
Cotati crawl and where every night is karaoke night, and

The day begins with a free pancake breakfast sponsored by the
Church of the Oaks from 7am to 9am. Everyone is welcome for
delicious home-made pancakes and coffee! Once you’re filled
up on pancakes, take a load off between West Sierra and Old
Redwood Highway as a spectator, or burn some calories and join
the parade procession!
Spancky’s too is a downtown favorite. The Cotati Yacht Club &
Saloon can also get busy, and the Eight Ball is a good place to
kick back.
The parade gets moving at 10am and participants will be judged
in a variety of categories and prizes will be awarded at the
festival in the park. VIPs from the City of Cotati and all around
Sonoma County will be in attendance, and introduced on stage.
The Cotati Historical Society is planning a walking tour of
Cotati and a History Hunt, led by our very own local historian
and Cotati’s ‘Woman of the Year’ Pru Draper, that will lead folks
on a journey through time and reveal interesting facts and details
about 31 buildings in the city. This adventure will start two
weeks before our 50th Anniversary event, so check the website
(www.cotatis50th.com) in July
for the official map.
Perhaps the brightest new musical note in town is at the Redwood
Cafe where owners Michael McCullaugh and Mustafa Jamal,
have revived live performances on the Cotati ‘strip’ with their
Redwood After Dark series: Free open mic nite on Thursdays
with Andre & Jeremy, the swing jazz of the 18-piece J & H Big
Band on the 2nd Friday of each month, and 9-piece Lakay, with
singer Mystic Man, also booked in a regular Friday slot and on
the 4th Friday of each month, it’s Reggae at the Redwood! With
music coordinators Mark Benanti booking the reggae on Friday
nights, Andrea De Channes handling Saturdays, and Mooka
Rennick presenting a Wednesday night Prairie Sun Showcase,
this is an exciting new venue for local music fans. The food’s
pretty good too!
The Cotati Kids Day Parade and
Festival is put on entirely by
volunteers, like the Boys & Girls
Club of Rohnert Park, and funded
through donations from local
businesses like Oliver’s Market,
Redwood Empire Disposal, Exchange Bank and AM Printing of
Rohnert Park! The Cotati Chamber of Commerce in partnership
with the City of Cotati are the parental organizations that help
The biggest day in Cotati this year is the 50th Anniversary Cotati

Church of the Oaks
A Non-Traditional Heritage
in Sonoma. Two different men owned it briefly before him. One
of them supposedly lost it in a card game. Page allowed the
congregation to buy two adjacent plots more cheaply. For $10,
again in gold coin, the Church of the Oaks acquired plots eight and
nine in 1909. The congregation promptly began building a social
hall and what is now known as the Rose Cottage, a small building
rented out as a home once and now used for small meetings and
other activities. Church records indicate that 13 members signed a
Church Charter dated June 4, 1901.
O
The picturesque Church of the Oaks is home to a vibrant spiritual
community and is often utilized for weddings, and hosts more than
twenty 12-Step programs every week. Sadly, the last two of the
proud, and very old, oak trees were found to be diseased and had
to be removed in 2004.
ne hundred twelve years ago a small group of dedicated
Congregational individuals put their time and talent to a project of
building a church. The building was like a miniature version of the
numerous large ones in New England. Church of the Oaks is the
perfect image of a small town church of the last century. Complete
with its steeped roof, it has been standing at the corner of West
Sierra and Page streets in Cotati since the land was purchased
March 6, 1906. Built of redwood, the church is in its same location
since its completion in 1907. The building has never been rebuilt.
As years passed the community of Cotati prized this little church
and its accompanying two buildings as a significant landmark.
Cotati is an energetic and diverse community. Church of the
Oaks appreciates being an integral part of Cotati. Through its
participation in the Chamber of Commerce it supports the Kids
Day Parade, which this year will be combined with Cotati's 50th
Anniversary celebration. They will also again be hosting their
annual pancake breakfast that morning, free for everyone.
The Sebastopol Congregational Church purchased "lot 7 of block
7" from the Thomas Page Company for "$100 in gold coin". Over
the years a grove of oak trees grew up around the church, hence
the name, Church of the Oaks. The whole area was owned by
Thomas Page, and had been almost since the Bear Flag Revolt

Cotati:
Sonoma County’s
“Peaceable Kingdom”
By Patty Lyn Tweten
nuclear facility at Bodega Head, or for helping create the 1972
Coastal Initiative that lead to the California Coastal Commission.
But, before all that, he opened the first veterinary practice in Cotati
in 1955. A graduate of the new Veterinary School at UC Davis, Dr.
Kortum set up his practice out on Gravenstein Highway where it
has operated for the last 57 years. Three years later, he was joined
by Dr. Fred Groverman.
Before he retired, Dr. Kortum expanded the practice to
8 veterinarians and constructed a large animal clinic for surgeries
and lab work. The large practice split into two hospitals, one for
large animals and one for small, in 1984.
The large animal practice, Cotati Large Animal Hospital,
has a staff of four Veterinarians with Dr. Gene Harlan as the senior
partner. Arriving in 1974, Harlan was attracted to the Cotati area
by the amount of high-end horse and
cattle work available. He says the
wide and varied nature of his work
keeps the job interesting. His typical
day might include attending to a lame
mule, dressing a wound on a horse
and vaccinating cattle, with a couple
of horse dental raspings thrown in.
Dr. Harlan is especially proud of the
surgery and lab, as it is unique to a
large animal practice. Most often, Dr. Kortum & his wife Lucy
his patients come to him to be treated
in a controlled, well-lighted environment that is preferable to
a cramped stall or muddy pasture. The clinic features a large
operating room specifically for surgeries that require complete
anesthesia. The padded walls and roughened floors allow groggy
animals to awaken safely without injuring themselves. There are
also special surgical pens for standing animals so operations can
proceed safely for vet and patient. Most interesting is a tilt table
that has the power to safely lift and tilt a large animal on its side
for foot procedures.
Enthusiastic and informative, Dr. Harlan has been
very involved in the community as the Cattlemen’s Association
president and a 4-H leader. He also established a preceptor program
at the hospital that allows veterinary students to see “real world”
Dr. Gene Harlan of Cotati Large Animal Hospital flushes the
tear ducts in a horse in the hospital's large clinic.
Cotati is a community of animal lovers. One can walk
down any street and see a dog walker or two, and the gregarious
chickens in front of Walgreens are a constant source of amusement.
But to say that the community merely cherishes its pets is an
understatement. The care and keeping of animals is interwoven
with the history and culture of this city.
Beginning as a sheep and cattle ranch, the town was
designed around the railroad station, with the land around it
parceled into small farms. Thus, an interesting mix of “rural” and
“urban” developed throughout the first half of the 20th century.
At the very heart of Cotati’s foundation in 1963 was a
desire to protect the city’s unique rural feel from encroachment by
Rohnert Park — an effort that was spearheaded by local veterinarian
and, later renowned environmental activist, Dr. Bill Kortum.
In the last half-century, businesses have popped up to
meet the animal care needs of town residents. And, in turn, these
businesses have contributed back to the community in unique and
interesting ways.

“Laid back and

it’s clear that this is a place

reason that he keeps his
practice simple with a common sense and affordable approach to
animal care.
During his years in Cotati, he has seen “a couple of
lifetimes of pets.” One of the most memorable clients was a couple
with a big Rottweiler. Their previous vet would only see the animal
if it was muzzled. Dr. Reif worked slowly and carefully with the dog
so that it was comfortable and could be examined safely without a
muzzle. That Rott was his patient for another 16 years.
It seems that Cotati has embraced Dr. Reif as he has
embraced the city’s pets. One of the things that Dr. Reif likes best
about his vet location is the pleasure of walking through town
hearing, “hi, Doc” as he passes.
applications of their craft. He points out that a unique aspect of the
practice is the high number of organically raised herds and grassfed beef in the western part of Sonoma County. “You just don’t see
dairy cows out grazing like you do here,” Dr. Harlan notes.
Cotati Large Animal Hospital has a total of four
veterinarians on staff, all of which are native Californians. In
addition to cattle and horses, the large animal hospital treats sheep,
goats, pigs and camelids (alpacas and llamas.)
Cotati Small Animal Hospital has remained next to
Cotati Large Animal Hospital since the two practices split in
1984. Dr. Fred Groverman continues as a partner in this practice
with Dr. William Cook. He has been an active community board
serving on the Sonoma County Fair board, the board of Petaluma
Valley Hospital, and Waugh School board. A Petaluma native,
Dr. Groverman also has an enduring commitment to his family’s
Shropshire Sheep ranch in Petaluma, begun in 1934. In fact, he
even has a strain of Shropshires named after him.
Dr. Cook joined the Cotati Small Animal Hospital team in
1977. He notes that pet owners in Cotati are compassionate about
their pet care and down to earth and friendly. Over the years, he has
treated many animals at the hospital, but a four-month-old kitten
with a broken leg that came to visit the hospital in 1996 really
stands out. Dr. Cook took on the kitten, nursed her back to health
and named her “Fur.” She remained at the hospital and became the
official greeter for 16 years. It was only last year that she passed
away and into the annals of feline history.
The Vet Around the Corner
Hidden in plain sight just off the plaza in the old Rexall
building is the La Plaza Veterinary Clinic owned and operated by
Dr. Joel Reif. Attracted by the laid back feel of the community,
Dr. Reif hung out his shingle in 1992. La Plaza has remained
An Alternative Approach
The Animal Hospital of Cotati has been serving the
community for 14 years on East Cotati Avenue. Founded by
Dr. Katheryn Hinkle and her husband, Carlton, the hospital has
four veterinarians and an animal chiropractor. Unique to the
hospital is its comprehensive approach to animal care combining
western medicine, chiropractic treatment, Chinese herb therapy
and bioresonance (a form of electromagnetic therapy.) These
alternative therapies are used in conjunction with traditional
western medicine treatments, or when those traditional treatments
have not been as successful as desired.
The hospital also prides itself on offering the cutting
edge of current veterinary medical practices. They offer the latest
in technology in their diagnostic tools and therapies from MRIs
to chemotherapy. “Our philosophy is: We practice compassionate
aggressive veterinary medicine,” says Carlton Hinkle, business

manager. However, the staff understands that pet owners can have
budget constraints and tries to work inside the means of every client.
One of the reasons that the Hinkles set their hospital
in Cotati is the demographic profile of the community. “The pet
owners absolutely love their animals and do the best for them,”
notes Mr. Hinkle. “The people are earthy, they call it like they
see it — and, they’re accepting,” he adds. Like human medicine,
veterinary medicine is beginning to consolidate into large
hospitals, but he appreciates Cotati’s support of independent
business owners.
they’ve expanded their store to meet their customers' needs. They offer
dozens of hay and grain blends, as well as bedding and straw. “Whenever
people wanted something, we’d order it,” quips Alice Larsen.
Bob and Alice are lifetime Sonoma County residents. As
long as they’ve been in Cotati, they have also been instrumental
in the town’s development. They were present in 1966 when three
busloads of dignitaries inspected the 220 acres of pastureland that
was to become Sonoma State, handing them Gravenstein apples as
they stepped off the bus! 44 years later, Bob Larsen delivered an
enormous load of straw bales to the construction site of the future
Green Music Center. He soon found himself lining up the bales
to create a life-sized floor plan of the building. Each “room” was
spray painted with a dollar amount and auctioned off later that day.
(The Green Music center was eventually completely funded with
private donations.)
Sometimes, Bob and Alice Larsen miss the dairy days
(the bookkeeping was a lot easier with only one client.) Now the
store sees a healthy 125-225 customers a day. But, they love Cotati
and the people who live there. “They’re a great bunch of people
and they love animals,” notes Bob.
Creature Comforts
If it hops, flies, gallops, grazes or grunts you can shop for
it at Larsen’s Feed Store. Owned and operated by Bob and Alice
Larsen, the Cotati landmark has been a hay and feed store since
1974. But, the Larsens have been dairy people since 1947 on the
Larsen's Feed Store, located on
127 acres between Gravenstein
Highway and W. Sierra Avenue,

Alice Larsen began selling
hay in 1974.
A Tag, a Leash, a Home
At the same time that Rohnert Park and Cotati were
incorporated, the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter was built. It has
been caring for animals ever since. Its staff and volunteers handle
over 1200 animals a year, returning lost pets and rehabilitating
and adopting out abandoned pets. It also serves as an educational
resource for the community.
Shelter supervisor, Mickey Zeldes points out, “We are
YOUR shelter. We only take in animals found stray in Rohnert Park
and Cotati, or surrendered by our residents.” The shelter also serves
as an adoption agency and educational resource to the community.
127 acres nestled between Sierra Avenue and Gravenstein Highway.
After selling their dairy business in 1973, the Larsens
found themselves with a barn full of surplus hay and set about
selling it. After the supply was gone, customers asked, “Aren’t
you going to sell hay again?” Thus the business began. Over the years,

serving the area for the past three years offering full-service dog
grooming at reasonable prices. Owner Toni Borgo, a groomer for
20 years, was attracted to the area by the local pet owners. “[it]
fits everything that a grooming shop should have. It’s a personal
business and people treat dogs here the way they should,” she says.
Just next door is Frizelle Enos Feeds, which came to the area in
2011. A sister store to Sebastopol’s 74-year-old Frizelle Enos, this
location was initially set up as a distribution and storage facility
according to Keith Benson, manager. “As we were cleaning and
setting up the warehouse, many previous customers of the former
Penngrove Hay and Grain came in looking to buy products,” he
explains, “so we changed our focus to opening a retail store.” One
of the things he likes about the area is the diversity of animals people
have. “We are in an area where small farms still exist and where
there is urban growth. So, one minute I may be talking to a customer
about cattle feed, and the next I will be talking about diamond
studded cat collars.
Whether you have
a horse, chicken,
dog, cat and even
goldfish, we can
feed it,” he adds.
Sydney and kitty, and Karen and bunny at RP Animal Shelter
Pet owners can get free pet tags and microchips for their animals.
There is a low-cost spay and neuter service. Additionally, senior
pet owners on a fixed income can take advantage of the Silver
Paws program that assists with vet care. People can receive dog
training and kids can attend summer “critter” camp. Teens, college
students and adults are encouraged to volunteer their time where
their rewards are a lick, wag or yip instead of dollars and cents.
The shelter is also the perfect place to find your next pet.
You can browse the website (www.rpanimalshelter.org) to look
at available animals. Ms. Zeldes suggests, “It’s best to come in and
visit. We will gladly help you find a pet that matches your lifestyle
and will fit in with your family.” All dogs and cats are examined
by a veterinarian and vaccinated before leaving the shelter. They
go home with food, a collar and leash or travel box, all for a
reasonable adoption fee of $95.
Ms. Zeldes encourages residents to bring abandoned animals
to the shelter. “We can scan for a microchip and hopefully get the animal
reunited with his worried parents.” With a caring, convenient and robust
facility like the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter in the community, there is
no reason to turn your back on a lost or strayed animal!

Peaceful Coexistence
It’s safe to say that Cotatians have always lived in a
peaceable kingdom with their animals — from the town’s ranch
origins to the open tolerance of all creatures. Cats lounge blissfully
on fences and in gardens, hens run wild, and many a business has
a welcoming dog water bowl at their front door. Businesses have
come to Cotati to meet the needs of pet and livestock owners. But,
they have given back as well by educating its youth, supporting its
seniors, and helping shape the city in its growth and development.
Just Nearby
With the jigsaw border between Cotati and its neighbors
to the north and south, businesses in other towns also cater to the
needs of the city’s animal owners. There are two other businesses
in Penngrove doing just that. Penngrove Pets Grooming has been
