FORCED DIFFERENT
STANDARDS AND HABITS UPON THE
FAMILIES EXPERIENCING THOSE TIMES.
No role was more changed than
the child’s role.
In the Victorian world,
children were to be “seen and
not heard.” This didn’t work out
when the child was desperately
needed to help with the daily
chores and even the defense of
the homestead.
“ ”
The whole family was
struggling to survive the
new world and a team
effort evolved.
Child gender seemed to
matter less in the days of the
old west. Girls were expected
to carry their own just as well
as boys. The whole family was
struggling to survive the new
world and a team effort evolved.
Often this effort brought the
family closer together.
Imagine the thrill of a young
boy or girl upon seeing Indians,
buffalo, bear and snow-capped
mountains for the first time. It
was about a 2,200 mile trip from
the Missouri River to California,
and tough miles they were. In
1849, over 30,000 immigrants
came west for gold. About
1,500 of them were children.
The trip took 3 to 4 months by
covered wagon.
There were many dangers
to avoid: snakes, accidental
shootings, falls from bouncing
wagons, wild animals, scorpions, excessive heat, drowning,
simple cuts and infections,
typhoid, cholera, storms, snow,
and strangers were just a few. It
was an incredible trial for those
who had never lived outdoors.
The difficulty of traveling
by oxen, horse or mule wagon
through the plains, deserts and
mountains cannot be overstated. Cooking each meal over
a newly made fire. Caring for
the livestock, washing, foraging,
and finding water and food were
big burdens. Then, add a couple
of young kids to that and try to
understand the stress.
How about giving birth on
the trail? And nursing a baby
and keeping everything clean
enough for that baby to survive?
(Childbirth was a major cause of
death in the 1800’s, even in the
home.) But the children adapted.
After a while, even the coyotes
howling at night was no longer a
fear and the fine aroma of pines
and redwoods became a much
desired thing.
Keep in mind the lack of
surgical skills and supplies in

those times. Even if a doctor
was aboard the wagon train, less
then a third or them had ever
attended medical school. Just
living on a farm in Petaluma was
hard. Druggists sold countrymyth tonics and herbal cures.
Barbers pulled teeth and carpenters made splints and artifi-
cial limbs. Midwives delivered
babies. Whiskey was the best
anesthetic, and Petaluma had
plenty of whiskey.

out to spot the livestock by the
spouts of steam coming from
beneath the snow. Then, the animal had to be dug out, fed and
the cow milked.
Fire was always a worry.
Lanterns, candles, fireplace
to search for food and water and
wood, build the fires and help
mother cook, serve and wash
up. Wild berries were a treat.
Fish was a feast. Shooting a
deer, wild pig, rabbit or any kind
or bird was essential. Sparrow
pot pie became a popular dish.
And then, the oxen, horses,
mules and cows had to fed and
watered as well. That, also, was
the children’s job.

Images of Sports: Sports Memories
of Sonoma County by Lee Torliatt
No doubt about it, Petalumans had a fixation about chickens, to such an extent that some people even
decorated their horses to look like the Egg City’s favorite fowl. James Wayne, representing Tomasini Hardware Store, rode a “horse dressed as a chicken” in a 1945 parade. The sight of a Petaluma
chicken, real or imagined, often drew the ire of teenagers from nearby towns. (Courtesy of the George
Tomasini collection.)

As a youngster in 1932 and
1933, “Dead Pan” Joe DiMaggio played baseball in Sonoma County. He spelled his
name with an “e” (DeMaggio)
and showed his talent early
on. Playing with Sid Hansen,
the teenage San Franciscan
banged out three hits in his first
game. At the pro level in 1933,
he ran off a string of hits in 61
consecutive games, a league
record. The Seals gave him a
bonus check and a gold watch
George Duke of Petaluma
fought Fred Apostoli and other
leading boxers in a career
that began in the 1930s and
extended through much of
the 1940s. When he retired,
he taught boxing to dozens of
young people and even played
a Santa Claus with gloves on
Christmas cards. (Courtesy of
the Torliatt Family collection.)
Future police chief Melvin
(Dutch) Flohr (right) ran interference for future Justice
of the Peace Rollie Webb at
Petaluma High School in the
1920s. After playing at Santa
Clara, the 6-foot, 4-inch Flohr
came back to Sonoma County
where he became Santa Rosa’s police chief. Although the
Bonecrushers disbanded in the
early 1930s, Flohr and other
local players put a new team,
the Blue Eagles, on the field
Duke Iversen cleaned out the
chicken house first before
donning pads to play football
for Petaluma High School in
the 1930s. A powerful runner,
blocker, and tackler, Iversen
later played at University of
Oregon and professionally with
the New York Yankees. When
Iversen was at Petaluma, on

a raw sub in to pick a fight
with the Trojan star to get him
thrown out of the game. (Courtesy of the Duke Iversen collec-

Dick Gray, who arrived in America from Ireland at age nine,
carved out a business career as
a dairyman and a sports career
as a softball pitcher. Gray, who
started pitching in the 1930s,
was a regular on the mound for
34 years. (Courtesy of the Gray
Family collection.)
Sid Hansen of Petaluma was
described by a writer in the
1920s as a “real busher” with
“an arm of steel and plenty of
stuff.” Joe DiMaggio called him
“one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
He got several tryouts with
the San Francisco Seals and
Missions of the Pacific Coast
League, but ended up mostly
baffling semi-pro batters in Sonoma County on Sunday afternoons. His personal problems
finally led to a stretch in San
Quentin Prison. (Courtesy of
the Sonoma County Museum.)
It was the equivalent of running 18
marathons. The Indian ultra-marathon, a 480-mile chase from San
Francisco to Grants Pass, Oregon, held in 1927 and 1928, featured
Karook runners from the Klamath River area in northern California
and Zuni Indians from New Mexico. Mad Bull (left) a name given
to John Southard by an inventive public relations man for the Redwood Empire Association, was the first winner in 1927; other runners included (right) his brother Rushing Water (Gorham Southard).
Gorham died shortly after the race. Henry Thomas, also known as
Flying Cloud, ran the course in 7 days in 1928, winning $5,000.

Gene Benedetti helped organize the Petaluma Leghorns
for a special Armistice Day
game in 1946. One teammate
recalled, “He threw two touchdown passes, both for the other
side.” From there, Benedetti
turned to coaching, winning
40, losing 6, and tying 2 over 4
seasons.

Book Review
Back in the 1920s and 30s, knickers were the order of the day for fashion-minded
golfers. In step with the times were members of the Petaluma Golf Club, pictured
here starting from the left: captain William Thomas, H.C. Scrutton, Dolph Hill, Eric
Nissen, Grover Stone, Jack Olmsted, Emmett Olmsted Jr., and Jack Cavanaugh.
Hunting and fishing were among the earliest sports activities in Sonoma County.
Many of the earliest settlers were far more comfortable with a rifle, shotgun, or fishing pole than they would have been with a bat or ball. Armed with sleeping bags,
crackers, canteens, and thermos, Petaluma laundryman Lucien (Red) Libarle,
auto repairman Pete Torliatt Jr., and banker Al Tomasi prepared for a Russian
With star-studded uniforms and an abundance of talent, the Petaluma Merchants
softball team was established in 1947 and stayed together for seven years. The
Merchants won 32 of 34 games in 1947 and went 33 and 5 in 1948. The 1949 team
is pictured as follows: (back row) Bill Jackson, John (Lefty) Wetch, Jack Cline, manager Lou Kaiser, and Gig Shoemaker; (middle) Dick Gray, Dick Michaels, Guido Cazazza, Merle Taylor, and Don Higgins; (front) Ed Noriel, Gil Winslow, Don Adams,
Moch Lucchesi managed his own son, pitcher Ron Lucchesi, and other young
players on the Petaluma Eagles team in 1950. Players pictured here, on the squad,
are: (back row) Roger Dempsey, writer Lee Torliatt, unidentified, Ron Lucchesi,
unidentified, Dick Treadwell, Benny Walker, Walt Miller, and manager Lucchesi;

clean and swinging harmonies”
—SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“As stylish as the Edsel, hipper
than the Hi-Los, the EDLOS
bring a frightening funk to a
Cappella singing.”
“The Bad Boys of A Cappella
combine an opera pedigree
with loony humor.”
—LOS ANGELES TIMES
The “Bad Boys” fill a rather
unique niche in the a Cappella

on an 18th century style Welsh
triple harp, and the charm and
beauty of Irish, Breton and Scottish music on the Celtic harp,
performed by a master harpist
in one of Petaluma’s charming
Victorian homes.
Cheryl Ann Fulton is a harpist whose dedication to technique is legendary. The harp, in
the hands of an artist like this, is
like an elder statesman of the
human spirit. The sensitivity of
Fulton’s playing is matched by
her virtuosity, as she will appeal
to lovers of folk and classical
music.
Recognized worldwide as
a leading pioneer in the field
of historical harps, Fulton is
America’s premier performer
of historical harps, in particular
Welsh and Italian triple harps
and medieval harps. She is the
founding President of the Historical Harp Society.
Known for her exceptional
artistry, in the last decade she has
become a renowned and highly
sought after teacher of her masterful and expressive technique.
Her solo recital performed at the
John F. Kennedy Center featured
five historical harps in one program of which the Washington
Post said, “Fulton drew from all
of them a serene and delicate
sound...remarkable instruments
which Fulton played with total
skill and reverent affection.”
A versatile recording artist,
she can be heard on over thirty
albums and soundtracks broadly
ranging from medieval, baroque,
orchestral, and contemporary
music to Celtic music and film
scores. Her first solo album, The
Airs of Wales, brought her recognition and acclaim as a genuine virtuosa of her instrument. A
composer as well as performer,
her original compositions from
her second solo album, The
Once & Future Harp, have been
featured on National Public
Radio.
Recognized as a leading
scholar in the field of historical
harps, Dr. Fulton, a Fulbright
scholar, is a contributing scholar
for the New Grove Dictionary of
Music and Musicians and has
written a chapter for A Performers Guide to Medieval Music.
She is currently working on a
harp technique method book

new life to old numbers. Nautical, gold rush, and railroad themes abound in both the traditional and
original songs performed by the band.
The first talk of forming the band came when Patrick Michael Karnahan and Richard Restivo met on
the set of “Back to the Future III” in 1989. Both Patrick and Rick were in the Hill Valley Brass Band, while
future band mate Steve McArthur was given a speaking role as Festival Man #1. During the filming breaks
Patrick and Rick began to formulate the idea for a traditional folk
group that would cross cultural
and musical boundaries—an
acoustic folk band with no limits!
At the first band meeting
the name was chosen, early the
next morning the Loma Prieta
Earthquake hit the San Francisco
Bay Area (hence, the 10 year
anniversary CD title “The Day
the Earth Shook.”) Along with
the idea of an open format in
regards to the musical choice,
every new band member would
have the opportunity to bring
their ethnic background into the
music.
The Black Irish Band gained
national attention after being
featured on “CBS This Morning” with Paula Zahn and Harry
Smith. At the Festival of the
Sea in San Francisco, with attendance estimated at 40,000,
the band delighted huge audiences. In addition, the band
performed at the
North Texas Irish
Faire, as well as
the International
Celtic Festival in
Vail, Colorado.

ACME Chophouse:
A Traditional Chophouse With a Healthy Flair
I
SATURDAY NIGHT AND
THE DINING DETECTIVES WERE IN
THE SOUTH BEACH, CHINA BASIN NEIGHBORHOOD OF SAN FRANCISCO. Our mission this evening
was to dine at a new restaurant,
the ACME Chophouse, which
is located adjacent to Pac Bell
Park. The décor is casually elegant, featuring the look and feel
of an Old San Francisco Grill.
This is accomplished by the
lovely wooden bar, rich wood
paneled walls, Deco lighting
and a mix of booths and tables.
The recent renovation features
aesthetics which are “green”
and sustainable matching the
socially responsible business
practices of the ACME Chophouse.
We began our evening at
the bar and had a cocktail before dining. We enjoyed chatting with the bartenders, John
and Jon, who told us that ACME
has great food and was jampacked on baseball game days,
which can be a challenge at the
bar. They love it though and a
great time is had by all.
We were soon greeted by
Keith Reese, who we know
from his previous position at
another famous San Francisco
Steak House. Keith is now the
General Manager at ACME and
they could not have made a better choice. He is one of the most
pleasant and knowledgeable
restaurateurs we know. When
you dine there be sure to meet
him. Keith shared with us the
socially conscious philosophy
behind the restaurant.
Traci Des Jardins, Managing
Chef, Thom Fox, Chef de Cuisine, and Larry Bain, Director
of Operations are the visionaries
behind ACME. They are committed to using naturally raised
meats from Niman Ranch and
grass fed local meats from The
T WAS
Western Ranchers Beef Cooperative, as well as poultry, local
fish and sustainably grown fresh
produce. Healthier food makes
for a healthier clientele.
Our server was soon at our
table alerting us to the specials
which included a grass fed New
York Steak and Wild Salmon.
We ordered some Santa Lucia
Sparkling Italian Mineral Water
and some wines by the glass
and were about to see what the
ACME Chophouse had to offer.
STARTERS
Baby Back Ribs
The ribs were a large starter and
were tender and had a spicy
sauce. This could be enough for
a meal.
Seafood
Platter—Cracked
Dungeness Crab, Clams on The
Half Shell, Chilled Shrimp, a
generous serving of Oysters on
The Half Shell (Kumamoto, Hog
Island and Tomales Bay) and
Chilled Mussels
This was a superior platter
which is great choice for Oyster Lovers. All the shellfish was
extremely fresh and the sauces
added to their taste. The platter
was placed on an elevated stand
for all to enjoy.
ENTREES
Grass-Fed New York Steak
This was a first for us and we
were pleased with the preparation, juiciness and taste. The
lower fat content gives the steak
a different consistency and taste.
It is interesting to note that grassfed beef cooks much faster than
traditional beef, as much as
30% faster. The spices and grilling made it a tasty cut.
Braised Short Ribs
This was our favorite entrée. It
fell off the bone and melted in
your mouth with a terrific sauce.
Simply superb!
Seafood Platter Appetizer at Acme Chop House in San Francisco.
Cured Double Cut Pork Chops
Brined by marinating overnight
in brown sugar, kosher salt,
lemon and, onion. This was also
a fantastic entrée that was thick
cut, moist and flavorful.
THE
DINING
DETECTIVES
BY CAROL & JOE DAVIS
www.finediningdetectives.com
Baseball Steak
This is a butcher’s cut that is
sometimes called a hanger steak.
The sliced presentation was
lovely and it was juicy and moist
with a savory flavor.
All entrées are accompanied
with sauces of your choice. We
particularly enjoyed the Chimichui, Salsa Verde and Whole
Grain Mustard sauces with our
main courses.
Fabulous Fresh Vegetable
Sides
All the sides were prepared with
locally grown produce and the
taste reflected the freshness. The
Creamed Spinach, Scalloped
Potatoes and Market Vegetables
could not have been better and
rounded out the meal perfectly.
Even those of you who may shy
away from vegetables will find
these to be superb!
ACME SWEETS
We opted for 4 desserts and
usually only mention a few. It
was hard to tell which was the
best from our choices of Apricot
Cheesecake, Peach and Cherry
Pie, Butterscotch Pudding, and
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
Cake. The desserts kept being
passed back and forth around
the table and they were all worthy. The sleeper was the Apricot
Cheesecake which was moist
and cheesy but not too sweet.
It was whipped to perfection,
almost like custard and had
the unique apricot topping that
made it tangy. Along with dessert we were pleased to taste
some Ports. The Taylor Floodgate
10-Year Tawny which was toasty
and carmelly and the Nieport
20-Year Tawny which had a terrific finish, a dry fig taste and
was drier, were a perfect accompaniment to the super desserts.
ACME COFFEES AND TEAS
A great closer after a hearty meal.
For coffee try the Jaguar Espresso
which is shade grown in Brazil
and Guatemala or the Nicaragua
Fair Trade Organic. As for the tea
drinkers try the Chamomile Citrus
The Cured Double Cut Pork Chops was a fantastic entrée.
The Acme Sweets were perfectly accompanied by some lovely
Blossom or the Mint Mélange.
WINES
Booth McKinney, the Wine
Director afforded us the opportunity to try a number of
interesting and better wines by
the glass. One could easily find
a bottle as well to pair with the
cuisine and your budget. The
wines that we enjoyed included
a French Sancerre, Domaine
des Vieux Pruniers, Loire Valley
2000 which was a light White
wine like a Sauvignon Blanc
which pared perfectly with the
Seafood Platter and a Clos du
Val, Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
which paired perfectly with the
steaks.
The ACME Chophouse is
a welcome addition to the San
Francisco dining scene. The staff
was friendly yet professional
and the meal was well paced.
The philosophy of locally grown
and in season produce and better fed animals with superior
preparation produced excellent
meals. The portions were ample
but not overwhelming leaving
us still able to try the superb
desserts.
We highly recommend The
ACME Chophouse and look forward to returning soon with more
friends.

Brave New Workshop Comedy Troupe, the nations oldest ongoing satirical comedy and improv theater.
Lake Wobegan RevisSEARCHING FOR
LAKE WOBEGAN
Garrison Keillor and Jesse “The
Body” Ventura have both made
America aware of Minnesota.
Governor Ventura, first-ever
Reform Party candidate to win
statewide office, is still in the
limelight from his wrestling beginnings and now as governor.
Garrison Keillor’s beginnings came through a radio
show with musical guests and
commercials for imaginary
products as “something funny
to do with my friends, and then
it became an achievement that I
hoped would be successful, and
now it’s a good way of life.”
Garrison’s soothing voice
gives life to mythical Lake
Wobegan, the little town “that
time forgot and decades cannot
improve.” Fittingly, Garrison and
Jesse have done verbal battle
and wrote competing books.

TWIN CITIES
Aptly named the “Twin Cities”
by Mark Twain, St. Paul is more
sedate and neighborly than the
more modern and liberal Minneapolis. Minneapolis has very
low crime, is clean and tidy and
sprinkled with little parks every
few blocks.
St. Paul, Minnesota’s capital,
boasts a marvelous 1906 goldleafed copper and steel statuary
group, “Progress of the State,”
by French and Potter placed at
the base of the Capital’s dome. A
tourist can stand right next to the
gold chariot with breathtaking
views of the Twin Cities.
Extending nearly 5 miles,
Summit Avenue is the longest remaining stretch of residential Victorian architecture in the United
States. Notable stately homes on
Summit Avenue include the 1891
mansion of James J. Hill, founder
of the Great Northern Railroad,
Garrison Keillor’s house and
Jesse Ventura’s governor’s mansion complete with the state of
Minnesota carved in granite on
the lawn.
Minneapolis, the “City of
Lakes,” is notable for 3 clustered
lakes—Lake Harriet, Lake Calhoun & Lake of the Isles. My
niece, Nina, and I race-walked after her Jack Russell terrier around
Lake Harriet on a warm Thursday
morning among multitudes of all
ages. Does anybody work here?
For more info. visit: www.
geomyidae.com/
RESTAURANTS AND THEATRE
Outstanding restaurants include
gourmet gems, down home and
ethnic cooking comparable with
any big city. Nye’s Polish restaurant at 112 E. Hennepin Ave,
Minneapolis, decorated in 50s
retro serves the best kielbasa,
cabbage rolls, and hand made
pierogi this side of Poland. Off
the dining room the alwaysbusy bar features “The World’s
Most Dangerous Band” playing
polka favorites like, “Beer Barrel
Polka” and “She Sat On My Lap
and She Smoked My Cigar.” Yodeling and harmonizing, the accordionist, sax and drummer let
it rip while customers danced.
What’s even more unusual is
the band members are all nearly
90 years old! Bryant-Lake Bowl
(corner of Bryant and Lake
Street) serves excellent, cheap,
gourmet food. Most clients never
even bowl.
Downtown the Rock Star
serves modern gourmet meals
in dining areas decorated with
stark black and white photos.
Known for theaters, I attended the nations oldest ongoing satirical comedy and improv
theater, Brave New Workshop.
Very talented comic performers
called my nephew, Jason, from
the audience onto the stage for
“questioning” as an “airport terrorist” in “Bushwhacked II.” This
production satirically portrays our
President and recent crisis both
humorously and with respect.

ST. CLOUD
Situated along the wooded banks
of the Mississippi and Sauk
Rivers, 65 miles northwest of
Minneapolis-St. Paul, St. Cloud
is the epicenter for Lake Wobegan searches. Garrison Keillor’s
Lutheran Scandinavian mythical Wobegan contrasts with St.
Cloud’s real German Catholic
roots. A characteristic of this
areas Germanic/Nordic work
ethic is punctuality, intolerance
for dirt and clutter that is driven
into the locals from babyhood.
A St. Cloud University professor
can start class 5 minutes early
because her college students are
present and waiting to be taught.
In the late 1800’s, St. Cloud’s
Granite City quarries attracted
immigrants from Sweden, Poland, and Scotland who were
experienced in stone cutting.
Mountains of granite lie just beneath the topsoil. Stearns County
granite is found in the Minnesota
State Capitol, railroad bridges,
street paving blocks, cemeteries
around the world and local home
basements and windowsills.
Although St. Cloud’s polished
granite park benches can look
mausoleum-like with chiseled
“dedicated to” inscriptions.
The pricey Queen Anne
style Heritage House and homier
Wild Rice Inn bed and breakfasts serve up warm hospitality,
history and breakfast in style.
Visit Clemens and Munsinger
Gardens, Saintt John’s University

average?” It is found in the hearts,
minds and funny bones in us all.

ABOUT

MONEY
BY JIM BECKER
Q
A
When will this market
turn?
I don’t have the answer to
that and neither does
anyone else. Investors need patience and courage. Patience because this stormy market is not
going to last forever. The sun will
come out again. Courage because bear markets grind away
at investors’ confidence and
generate a lot of fear. At the conclusion of a bear market, most
investors conclude “I’ll never do
this again” and sell their stocks.
When a new bull market begins,
it often catches many investors
by surprise, leaving those who
moved to the sidelines feeling
foolish. This bear is beginning
to wear many investors down.
Unless we get a nice rally in the
last few months of this year, this
will be only the third time since
1926 that bonds have outperformed stocks 3 years in a row.
Q
A
Is it time to get out?
No.
Investing is not as
simple as buying when
you feel good, and selling when
you feel bad. That’s the same
as buy high, and sell low. Yes,
there’s bad news, but that’s why
stock prices, as measured by the
S&P 500, are nearly 40% below
the peak. If you own goodquality securities and are well
diversified, stay put. If you have
money to invest, continue to put
it to work; not all at once, but
systematically each month.
Q
The accounting scandals
have really shaken investor’s confidence. Is everyone
cooking the books?
A
No. The majority of
accounting problems seem
to be concentrated among those
companies in the so-called “new
economy” that set very high,
unrealistic expectations. Enron (a
new-age utility), Global Crossing
and Worldcom (telecommunications) all had set growth goals
well —above their peers in their
respective industries. When those
goals could not be met, they apparently “polished” the numbers
in an effort to mislead investors.
Other accounting problems
are occurring or are suspected
among companies that aggressively grew through acquisitions (Tyco), were under severe
financial stress (Xerox). They
convinced investors to focus on
alternative measures of performance (cable companies, media
and wireless telecom). Companies in these industries have
also come under pressure due
to real or perceived accounting
issues. While there have been a
few dozen companies that have
been affected, there are literally
thousands of companies that
have not been touched by the
accounting scandals.

Best of Bill
By Bill Soberanes
columnist-peopleologist
This article originally appeared in the
Petaluma Argus-Courier. Bill Soberanes’
column and “My Fascinating World of
People” appear regularly in the Argus-Cou-
Bill Soberanes, (left) chats with Hank Howe, widely considered Petaluma High’s most handsome graduate.
Hank Howe: Petaluma’s
All American Boy
H
ANK
AS
HOWE WAS KNOWN
ALL AMERICAN
THE
BOY WHEN HE ATTENDED
PETALUMA HIGH SCHOOL. One of
the unusual things, Hank’s many
pals still call him the All American Boy. I must mention, too,
that Hank was considered one
of Petaluma High School’s most
handsome graduates. In 1945
he scored Petaluma High’s only
touchdown in a game against
Santa Rosa High School.
Hank, who turned 75 years
old on July 5th, is one of the
founders of the Petaluma group
that holds monthly dinner parties at Jake’s Place.
As a youngster Hank took
part in the Mud Ball Wars between East and West Petaluma.
The story he authored on the
“war” is a classic. Even though
he was very young, he has a
vivid recollection on the Mud
Ball War and the guys who took
part in it. They became friends.
Hank said, “Although I served in
the U.S. Navy and my friends,
who served in the U.S. Armed
Forces, discuss the Mud Ball
War more often than we do our
time serving Uncle Sam.”
Hank, whom I consider a
gifted writer, has enough material to write an exciting book.
His dad, Bill Howe, worked
in many western movies. His
mother, Louise, was a stunt
horseback rider in a number of
movie serials. His sister, Mary,
was a receptionist at Warner
Brothers Studio, and his brotherin-law, Bill Barry, was a moving
picture stage set-up man.
Hank’s grandfather on his
mother’s side was Lionel Comport who for 50 years furnished
animals and other material for
the movies. He knew all the
great stars and character actors.
Hank’s material on Lionel Comport is a real treasure of over 50
years in the moving picture busi-
“

took part in the Mud Ball
Wars between East and
West Petaluma.
”
ness. This material alone would
make an exclusive story on
Hollywood’s changing scene.
Over the years I attended
many functions with Hank. A
couple of times we were special
guests at the Cauliflower Club in
Hollywood. This club was made
up of athletes who played in the
movies. It was during our gettogether at the club that we met
the great character actor Mike
Muzurki, and Abe Goldstein,
who at the time was the last survivor of the Keystone Kops movies. At the time Goldstein was
90 years old. To the best of my
knowledge I not only mingled
with him I was the last guy to
interview him. In Palm Springs
Hank and I met Joe Bop, a superb piano player who played
for many celebrities including
Frank Sinatra.
Hank has been a regular
visitor at the breathtaking Catalina Islands. He spent time in
the Hawaiian Islands with his
high school pal Irv Peiper. At
that time they knew Duke Halamoka, the king of Hawaiian
swimmers. Hank’s information
on the land of pineapples and
hula hula dancers could be another chapter in the book he is
being urged to write.
It’s also interesting that
Hank was voted one of Petaluma High School’s all-time
popular students, and another of
the amazing things is he’s still a
popular leader among his many
friends and a central figure in
many activities including the
World’s Wristwrestling Championship Tournament.
Guys like well-known
Petalumans Joe Harn and Don
Ramatici classify Hank as one of
the most interesting people they
have ever met and so does Ralph
Giacomini. His friend, retired
Marine Colonel. Bob Krause,
put it, “Hank is one of my most
admired friends.” Petaluma football star, Bud Chadwick, said,
“He brings a ray of sunshine to
those who mingled with him.”
I always knew how popular
Hank is, and this knowledge
was reinforced when I attended
a Petaluma High School reunion
with him. Hank arrived at the
reunion and both men and
women rushed up to talk with
him. They told many yarns about
him, and that could be another
reason they call him Petaluma’s
All American Boy.
What keeps a man like Hank
Howe so active at his age? It’s his
love for people and his many
activities. Today he has a new
generation of admirers who look
upon Hank as an extra special
guy.
Before moving to Lake
County with his wife Nance,
Hank was one of Redondo
Beach, California’s most popular
citizens, and the reason I know
was I spent time with him there.
Among Hank’s many other
talents, he’s a fine wood carver
and talented singer.

BY JOE TINNEY
DEEP IN THE POT-
T
HINGS GET SLOW FOR HUMOR
COLUMNISTS IN THE SUMMER,
but fortunately we still
have the potholes.
Most amusing was the
squabble over whether the city
should have spent $20,000 on
a poll to see whether residents
would vote for a tax increase to
fund street repairs. But of course
this was a comprehensive poll,
covering all registered voters in
town, right? Wrong. They polled
504 people. For 20,000 bucks.
Before the poll, common
sense told us “They’ll have a
hard time getting enough votes
to pass this one.” This cost nothing, but it wasn’t scientific.
They could have sent a
couple of guys out to supermarkets one day to pass out flyers
that asked “Are you a registered
voter in Petaluma?” and, “ Will
you vote for a $30,000,000 tax
increase to help fix the streets?”
This would have taken one day
and cost about $150. It would
have showed that they’ll have
a hard time getting enough
votes to pass the measure. But it
wouldn’t have been scientific.
So, they hired a professional
pollster to talk to 500 people.
It cost $20,000 and the result
showed that they’ll have a hard
time getting enough to pass the
measure. But it’s scientific.
I wonder how the cost of this
was determined. In other words,
how did the polling company
break down its bid? We don’t
know, but it might have looked
something like this:
Determine manner of ............ $1,000
conducting scientific poll
Determine stupidity............... $1,000
level of politicians
When stupidity level............ $10,000
determined, add zeros
to estimate
Plan exotic vacations
when poll finished
$2,000
Training to keep straight......... $2,000
face when presenting
estimate to politicians
Intensive training to
explain why scientific
poll is necessary when
presenting results
$3998.75
Actually conducting poll ......... $1.25
TOTAL
$20,000
Whether they impose a tax
on us or not, it’s good to know
the city will do something about
those potholes. They have increased the budget to get larger
crews to go out and fix them,
this very year.
You’ve seen those Cal-Trans
guys. They shovel a little black
stuff off a truck, mash it flat,
and then move on. It takes 30
seconds and costs maybe fifty
bucks each hole. Of course,
they can’t fill a hundred twenty
potholes an hour this way, because they have to drive to the
next pothole. In Petaluma this is
about five feet. I figure they can
fix fifteen or twenty potholes an
hour this way.
So, Petaluma is going to do
this to 270 potholes in the city.
They plan to complete this in
six months at a cost of several
hundred thousand dollars. Now,
I don’t want to be mean and
impose on the city workers a
breakneck pace like those slave
drivers at Cal-Trans impose, but
isn’t this just a teensy bit slow?
The street repair project seems
to be on the same lightning track
as the Rainier Overpass and Lafferty Ranch. At this rate we’ll have
the potholes fixed in 57 years.
Well, the little ones. Yes, this
project only fixes the little potholes. The large ones (the ones
you can see) will have to go out
to bid to a general contractor.
Now when we look at the cost of
fixing the little potholes, we have
no idea how they will figure
the cost of the big ones, and I’m
almost afraid to ask. It might go
something like this:
Picture the CEO of the paving
contractor and his secretary in
their office preparing the bid:
CEO: “First, determine the stupidity level of the local
politicians. Whoa! Sadie,
go outside and get a lot
more zeros. We’re going
to need a whole bunch of
them for this one.”
Now that the $20,000 scientific poll has been conducted,
maybe it was needed, but I’m
sorry the city spent so much
money on it. We could have
fixed three potholes for that. I
do have to side with the city
council members who complained about spending $20,000
on a poll without asking them.
Throwing money away like that
is what we have the city council
for.
I’ve been worried the city
might actually get the potholes
fixed, leaving us humor columnists with no material. I don’t
think I have to worry about that
soon.

Pete
BY RICHURD SOMERS
Truckers Amuck
P
ETE
DISAGREES
WITH
THE
(referred
to in the balance of this
column as the “Ass. Study”)
by an Auto Association, which
blames car drivers for accidents
between autos and trucks.
This company sent someone out to interview big rig
drivers who survived fatal accidents. Since the drivers of the
cars involved in these accidents
with big rigs were dead, the only
witnesses were the drivers of the
18-wheelers. Hmmm? Could it
be true that one can use statistics to prove anything?
Pete knows a few teamsters
who haul cross-country, so he
asked them what they thought
about the “Ass. Study.” They
told Pete that truckers must meet
impossible deadlines or risk a
return run without cargo, which
translates to zero profits. So,
they highball it and use whatever drugs they need to drive
until they drop.
Pete then went on a 7,000
mile drive across America to
witness accidents first-hand. Pete
logged every accident he saw,
and 100% involved big rigs and
at least one car. The important
statistic is that 100% of all the
accidents that Pete saw on this
7,000-mile trip involved a big
rig.
Pete also witnessed nearaccidents, which are those that
didn’t end in death, but easily
could have been fatal. In these
cases, truckers were driving too
fast for the road or traffic condiCURRENT

tions and could not react quickly
enough to avoid near collisions.
Big rigs barreling along,
would suddenly see traffic
stopped, and without even a
signal would swerve into an
adjacent lane where a car had
to take drastic action to avoid a
collision. Always, it was the alert
car driver who avoided certain
death.
The other fact that Pete
witnessed was that truckers do
two things on a regular basis:
(1) Put on their turn signal and
switch lanes at exactly the same
moment, which does not allow
automobile drivers much more
than a nano-second to avoid
certain death, and (2) Truckers
are extremely rude when they
know that two lanes soon will
turn into one lane. Approximately 10 miles before that happens, they will run their trucks
side by side, which prevents
cars from passing. This would
probably tick off Dale Evans.
So, to contradict the “Ass.
Study,” Pete responds as follows:
(1) Failure to keep in lane or running off the road is almost always
the trucker’s fault, (2) Failure
to yield the right of way is the
trucker’s excuse for driving in a
dangerous manner, (3) Driving
too fast for conditions, or above
the speed limit, is primarily the
trucker’s error, (4) Failure to obey
signs and signals is an inappropriate term, as truckers signal and
change lanes at exactly the same
time, and (5) Driver inattention is
99% the fault of big rig drivers.
