RPDPS director welcomes
back Sonoma State students
Brian Masterson, Director of the Rohnert Park
Dept. of Public Safety, has penned a welcome back
letter to the students of Sonoma State University.
As we all enjoy a warm summer in Rohnert
Park, we are also welcoming back to our community new and returning Sonoma State University
students. Rohnert Park is fortunate that we have a
respected and beautiful university in our community which brings thousands of students who add
to the diversity in our city. Many of these students
live off campus in our neighborhoods along with
senior citizens, families with young children and
professionals who enjoy a good quality of life in
Rohnert Park.
These Sonoma State students are vital to many
of the businesses that reside in Rohnert Park and
we appreciate their business and what they mean
to our local economy. Many of these young adults
are seeking education as a means to obtain degrees
that will give them a foundation for careers in
many different fields and professions. Most of our
students grew up in towns that are very similar to
Rohnert Park and they feel comfortable in our
neighborhoods.
We all know that in many communities there are
times when neighbors do not get along and on oc-
casion the police are called in to resolve a problem. A large percentage of students who live off
campus understand the importance of being a good
neighbor and do their best to ensure their social activities do not disturb their neighbors. In years
past, we have had some issues with parties or disturbances.
Some of these incidents were alcohol related
and we are called in to resolve the situation. Therefore we recommend students who are 21 to be responsible with their indulgence of alcoholic
beverages.
It is against the law for any person under 21 to
be drinking alcoholic beverages. In the event the
police are called out, there may be arrests made
which will affect your chances to achieve that
dream job in a very competitive job market. Your
experiences in Rohnert Park should help to shape
your future and your resume will attest to your academic achievements.
We look forward to the return of our Sonoma
State Students and seeing you around our town as
you integrate seamlessly into our community. Stay
safe and enjoy your school year and the surrounding community. You are our neighbors and we
want to welcome you back!

New, old faces in political arena
J C Penney
By Dave Williams
There are two things that are almost guaranteed
whenever an election cycle rolls around – one is
the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District
will place some sort of bond measure (parcel tax)
on the ballot and the other is that former councilman George Barich will run for one of the open
seats on the Cotati City Council.
This year’s election is Nov. 8.
Three incumbents – Vice Mayor Susan Harvey,
Councilwoman Wendy Skillman and Councilman
John Dell-Osso – are up for reelection, and Barich
is one of three people trying to gain one of the
Changes
abound
within the
CRPUSD
Gilardi not running for school board
reelection; six vying for Cotati seats
seats. The others are Cotati Design Review Committee member Eris Weaver and Jason Goebel.
Former Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District board member Eric Kirchmann had taken out
papers but did not file the required candidate intention form or nomination papers by the Aug. 12
deadline.
If this year is supposed to be the season of electoral change, somebody forgot to remind citizens
of Rohnert Park.
For the second consecutive election cycle, the
incumbents on the Rohnert Park City Council up
for reelection – Mayor Gina Belforte, Councilman
Jake Mackenzie and Councilman Joe Callinan –
will be running unopposed.
Belforte, while attending Tuesday night’s CRPUSD Board of Trustees meeting, hinted the council may decide to cancel its election at its next
meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 23. The move makes
sense because holding an election where the incumbents are running unopposed would cost the
city $50,000.
There also will be at least one new face on the
CRPUSD board, as Ed Gilardi, who served on the
board for 20 years, announced on his Facebook
page that he would not be seeking reelection in

Back to class...crack the books
By Dave Williams
Remember when, long before the turn of the century, the
first day of school came the
day after Labor Day?
Obviously, those days are
long gone, as students – some
gladly and others reluctantly –
in the Cotati-Rohnert Park
Unified School District returned to classes on Wednesday for the new school year.
Some students returned to
schools with new principals,
while others saw nothing but
familiar faces in their school’s
administration.
CRPUSD Superintendent
Robert Haley was bouncing
from school to school on
Wednesday, but took a couple
minutes to address the upcoming school year.
“I think our focus this year
is being committed to future
and making good decisions,”
he said. “We’ve done a lot of
work in getting best trained
and performing teachers and
seeing them in action. The
teachers’ work with students
has positive impact on kids.”
A lot falls on the shoulders
of any school district’s superintendent. His or her decisions
impact hundreds of students.
Some decisions are popular
and some aren’t, but superintendents seek what’s best for
the district not only in the short
term but they also have to take
the long view.
“As an organization, we
need to make good decisions…looking for the future 5
or 10 years down the road,”
Haley said. “We want to leave
a good legacy behind.”
Part of Haley’s legacy will
be the hiring of six new principals in the district. The new
principals are: Jennifer Hansen
at Evergreen; Teresa Ruffoni at
Richard Crane (year round);
They may look like twins, but one year separates sisters Aaliyah McCormick, 2nd grade, left, and Arianna, 1st grade. The two were all smiles as they were excited to be

CHP warning local drivers to follow school bus rules
The 2016-17 school year began earlier this week for the Cotati-Rohnert
Park Unified School District and Penngrove, and the California Highway
Patrol wants to remind the public of the
laws regarding school buses and speeding in school zones.
California Vehicle Code (C.V.C.)
section 22454 (A) VC-paraphrased,
states that it is a violation to pass a
school bus which is stopped with the
red lights flashing and/or the stop signal arm engaged for the purpose of
loading or unloading any schoolchildren. Drivers of vehicles approaching a
school bus with the red lights flashing
and/or the stop signal arm engaged are
required to stop immediately before
passing the school bus, and shall not
proceed past the school bus until the

flashing red light signal and stop signal
arm cease operation.
The section also states that the driver
of a vehicle upon a divided highway or
multiple lane highway need not stop
upon meeting or passing a school bus
that is upon the other side of the roadway. For the purposes of this section, a
multiple lane highway is a highway
that has two or more lanes of travel in
100
off
each direction. The fine in Sonoma
County for a violation of this section is
$695.
“It is that time of year and school is
back in session, and that means many
of the children in our communities will
be walking or biking to school, and
there will undoubtedly be an increase
in traffic congestion, both in the morning and afternoon,” CHP Captain Mike
Palacio said. “Give yourself and your
family plenty of time to negotiate the
change in traffic conditions. More importantly, please be mindful and cautious around what is arguably our most
precious gift, our children. Most of us
have a tendency to become impatient
in heavy traffic, but please be patient
and give other drivers the benefit of

volunteer,
97, finds
lots to do
By Irene Hilsendager
In the Northern part of England sits a small Welsh community with a very strong
Presbyterian Church and that is
where Olwen Jones was born.
When you say Welsh you
think of deep coal mines, but
Welsh miners came to England
and worked in the iron works or
were carpenters that built the
big ship lines.
Because of the quota of allowing people into the United
States, the family had to wait in
England for two years before
they took sail to the new country. During that time, Olwen’s
mother, Emma, kept the family
together by being a trained
dressmaker.
In 1927 Jones and her
brother, Trevor along with
mother, left for the United
States on the Canard ship lines.
they spent one week on the ship
heading for the land of wealth.
Organic entertainment
“My mother entertained us
by saying that Orville Wright
was flying his plane over the
ship, our necks were very sore
from peering up into the sky all
of the time,” Olwen said.
After landing in the United
States the family went to
Boston, where they took a train
and had another week of travel
to Oakland. John R. Jones, father to the weary travelers, was
a Welsh Presbyterian minister
who was already living in the
San Francisco area.
“It was so much fun going to
Sunday school as the classroom
in the church had a straight
view to the Seals Stadium and
we could watch all of the Seal
players hit the balls over the
fence,” Olwen said. “I remember the DiMaggio brothers so
well.”
While living in San Francisco, Olwen attended McKinley, Everett Jr. High, Lowell
High School and went onto San
Francisco City College. She
then transferred to San Francisco State College to receive
her teaching credentials.
In 1941 Jones began teaching
at the Petaluma Junior High
School on Fair St. She recalls it
being extremely close to
Petaluma High because they
had to share the school’s gym.
Olwen remembers that because
of the Fair Act, where the law
was that you had to conform to
school safety, the building
leaked so profusely that the janitor knew exactly where to
place the buckets and pans to
catch the leaking water.
“My largest class ever
amounted to 25 pupils,” she
said.
‘Big Fish’ nicely
mixes fantasy
and family life
Friday, August 19, 2016 - 3
THEATER REVIEW
By Jud Snyder
The title “Big Fish” provides
playgoers with no clues as to
what’s going on, for there’s no
angler fishing for trout, nobody’s digging worms for bait,
not even any clam diggers.
Wait a minute, what about
the mermaid? Yes, there’s a
mermaid and now you have a
clue. It’s on the big stage at
Spreckels Performing Arts Center.
Stripped of its singers,
dancers, songs and pit band,
(heard but not seen), “Big Fish”
is merely the saga of a family as
it matures: husband, wife, children together down life’s path.
But it’s musically and fantastically draped with so many gorgeously costumed singers and
dancers you hardly have a
minute to catch your breath.
Yes, there’s a big fish, Bobby
Finney on stilts, in the midst of
all the singers and dancers as
the superlative fantasies emphasizing the family situations fill
the stage when they bubble to
the surface like the mermaid.
Darryl Strohl DeHerrera is
the father and occupies a lot of
time singing and dancing like
other major role players. He’s a
Sacramento area stage veteran
and there should be a star on his
dressing room door. The same
applies to Heather Buck, his
wife, who’s familiar to Spreckels’ audiences. Mark Bradbury
plays their oldest son, and
they’re the major trio holding
the thread that stitches this professional production together
and thank you Gene Abravaya
for your professional talent in
directing this magnificent fantasy with its huge cast.
I wish we had room to rightfully praise other cast members,
but I can’t resist citing costume
designer Pamela Enz, who must
have spent hours at her special
task.
Then of course there’s Eddy
Hansen, lighting designer, who
used a goodly quantity of his
bag of tricks with background
designs to utilize the entire
stage.
“Big Fish” isn’t exactly a
marquee duo to attract playgoers to Spreckels main stage, but
believe me it has everything –
from hilarious bits to pure
poignancy. If your eyes don’t
wet up with tears the way mine
did during the second act, you’d
better have your emotional state
checked by your psychologist.
It’s a 2-hour, 45-minute show
with one intermission.
This, please don’t miss out
on it. Please.
It runs on the big Spreckels
stage through Sunday Aug. 28
and reservations are at the box
office Tuesday through Saturday afternoons and one hour before curtain times just in case
there are vacancies. Find out at
588-3400.
The 26th annual Cotati Accordion Festival runs Saturday and

The Community Voice:
I ran for city council two
years ago with the idea I could
make some changes simply by
putting sunshine on some of the
city council actions that are
very detrimental to the citizens
of Rohnert Park.
It started out with the giant
raise in the sewer and water
rates. My investigation revealed a false need to increase
the sewer capacity. A secret
deal was worked out and eventually the “needed” sewer capacity was sold to the casino
and that money used for other
purposes. This was just a part
of what may be technically
called fiscal maleficence. There
are numerous incidents of such
maleficence. My investigation
is extensive and very solid.
As many of you may have

The Community Voice
I WOULD THINK THE
FACT that Rohnert Park will
not have a city council election
this November will have the
impact on citizens like the
wispy effect of a bird feather
floating to settle on a leafstrewn forest knoll.
RP incumbents Gina Belforte
and Joe Callinan have already
served two terms on the city
council, and Jake Mackenzie
has served five terms. All three
have served as mayor at various
times. Mackenzie is the current
vice-mayor and will no doubt
be chosen mayor after the election.
This isn’t the first time the
city has no names on the ballot
challenging the incumbents and
at the rate the popularity of
electoral politics is diminishing
it won’t be the last. City council
incumbents had no challengers
back in 2012 and in 2014, the
lone challenger was Dave
Grundman. All three incum-
bents survived.
I remember a few years back
when we had 10 candidates for
RP city council. It was early in
the 2000s or very late 1990s,
and the sight of all 10 sitting at
a long table in Foxtail’s banquet
room giving brief talks and answering questions gave a boost
to the political scene in this city.
But since then it’s been sadly
downhill.
WHO’S TO BLAME?
Mainly it’s the people. They’ve
lost faith in the political system…just read the polls taken
by reliable polling companies
whether its city, county, state or
federal. We’ve noticed polling
organizations continually note
governing bodies from U.S.
Congress on down to county
and city elected panels consistently have a “favorable” rating
only in the high 20s or low to
mid 30s.
It used to be taking up a ca-
of “you’re not doing enough for
us” from people everywhere.
reer in politics had a notable
flavor: You’re doing something
to make this city, county or
state a better place to live.
Nowadays, if you call somebody a “politician,” you’ve applied a negative adjective to the
genuine politicians we have
among us. It has created a sense
THIS IS A WORLD-WIDE
phenomenon. It provides an
opening for people like Donald
Trump to tap into this discontent here in the United States.
In England it caused the
downfall of Prime Minister
David Cameron when the people voted to drop out of the European Union and they are still
squabbling over the results of
this Brexit move seeking a remedy to soften the blow. France
is in a perilous political era.
Italy and Greece are in the same
situation and only Germany is
surviving so far.
Countries are building fences
to block Syrian and other Muslim country refugees. Where
does the blame for all this
worldwide turmoil belong?
Much of it belongs to former
U.S. President George W. Bush
and his ill-advised invasion of
Iraq to unseat dictator Hussein.
Who can forget Bush strutting
in a flight suit across the deck
of a ship bearing a huge banner
proclaiming “Mission Accomplished”? What was accomplished? Only civil wars in Iraq
and Syria.
But enough about foreign travails.
THE LACK OF candidates
for RP’s City Council has only
a local impact, thank goodness.
The reaction was slight, as I
mentioned.
I was amused by RP Councilman’s Joe Callinan quote in the
Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
The daily said the lack of candidates was due to “voter apathy.”
Joe replied, “I don’t think that’s
it. I think most people are
happy with the job we’re doing.
We’ve balanced our budget for
three years in a row. We’ve gotten our finances back in order.
Employees are happy.” You’ll
notice, not a word about the
millions of dollars the city owes
to retired employees benefits or
health care. Joe was just indulging in city hall-speak.
There must be a better word
than “apathy” to apply here. It’s
pretty strong. Maybe it’s just
“indifference” to what’s going
on in city hall or maybe a “who
cares” attitude.
PART OF THE BLAME
goes to the Internet and all its
complicated attachments that
can be held in the palm of your
hand. The Internet provides instant answers and satisfaction.
Accomplishing legislation
through the use of politics
moves slowly in this age of instant gratification held in your
hand. Accomplishing needed
legislation the old fashioned political way will never be as fast
as the Internet, so all we can
say is do your best to get used
to it. Small consolation indeed.
City manager touts actions geared toward improving RP
Working together to build a
better community for today and
tomorrow – that’s the mission
of your city government. Like
many mission statements, it
sounds good. But it doesn’t
mean much unless city employees and our residents actually
work together. Here’s how:
Keep the city looking good
One issue presents opportunities for us to do just that. We
hear from residents about properties that are overgrown with
weeds, have cars parked in the
yard or are just plain neglected.
The city has a full-time staff
person dedicated to getting
owners to clean up these properties.
We encourage owners to do
the right thing and fix problems
on their own – and they usually
do. But when necessary we take
legal action to make things
right.
That’s what the city can do –
but we need your help, too. We
don’t always know when there
are problems, and you can help
be our eyes and ears in the community.
Here are some things you can
do to help:
1. When you see a problem,
City of RP updates
By Darrin Jenkins
call Jette Selberg in Code Compliance at 588-2249. Or email
her at [email protected].
2. Report an issue with your
cell phone by downloading the
Go Request app for Rohnert
Park. From there you can easily
report a problem, including
sending a photo.
3. If your lawn is looking dry
or your plants are wilting, feel
free to water them – while parts
of the state remain in a drought,
we have sufficient water and
there are no limits on which
days you can water.
State Farm property
One example of a property
needing attention is the State
Farm site. It is the responsibility of the property owner to
keep it in good shape. When it
became clear they weren’t
meeting their responsibilities
we started legal action. As a result, the city has hired a contractor to cut the weeds, mow
the lawn, and perform general
clean up. This started earlier
this month and will continue as
long as needed. And we are requiring the owner to pay for all
of this – it is simply not acceptable to let a nice-looking property in the heart of our city
deteriorate.
More ways we’re building
a better community
Keeping the city looking
good is one way we can build a
better community together.
Here are some other things
we’re doing, and some ways
that you can help:
derground and improve storm
drains and the sewer system
while widening the road and
making it safer. We appreciate
your patience during this long
project, and ask for your continued patience as work continues
on Rohnert Park Expressway
and other improvements.
• Adding Public Safety
staff: To keep Rohnert Park
safe, the city added and filled
four new police positions
within the last year and is
adding three more police officers and two firefighters this
year. You can help by reporting
suspicious activity; whenever
you see it, please call 911.
• Opening park restrooms:
After years of closure because
of vandalism, we are making
the restrooms in our parks more
secure and opening all of them.
The restroom at Benecia Park is
open. We expect the restrooms
at Eagle, Magnolia Pool and
Sunrise Parks to be open by the
end of the year. The remaining
restrooms should be open by
the summer of next year.

RPDPS offers a few tips to prevent car theft
The Rohnert Park Dept. of
Public Safety has suggested
these tips for keeping your car
from being stolen:
• Keep track of your car keys
and do not leave a spare key in
the overhead visor. Many car
thieves know about the spare
key hidden in the wheel well or
the under carriage of the vehicle.
• Keep your car in the garage
if possible.
• Do not leave valuables in
plain sight inside your car, do
not invite trouble.
• Purchase the “CLUB”
which is a metal bar that keeps
the steering wheel from moving
and is a strong deterrent to auto
thieves.
• Make sure to keep your vehicle locked at all times, even
while driving.
• Do not leave your vehicle
running with the keys inside
while you are not paying attention, especially in the winter
when you are warming the car
as you retrieve items from your
residence.
• Most car thieves work at
night and parking your vehicle
in a well-lit area can be a good
deterrent.
• Install an anti-theft system
in your vehicle if it does not
have one. Thieves are less
likely to steal your car if they
know it has an alarm system.
Many insurers will offer discounts for vehicles that have an
alarm.

A look behind the scenes at Greek Festival
The Community Voice
By Isabella Giovenazzo
Every good festival needs
great food, and that’s what was
offered at this year’s Greek Festival held last weekend at St.
George Greek Orthodox Church
in Rohnert Park. Many popular
dishes were on hand along with
some that may not be as familiar to those who have never
been exposed to Greek cooking.
Things like beef shawerma,
kifta, and sweet kunefe need to
be prepared days in advance to
be ready for cooking and serving on the day of the festival.
Many say the kitchen is the
heart of the home, and the
preparation that takes place in
the days leading up to the
Greek festival seems like a
labor of dedication and love.
With a menu of more than 15
items needed to feed up to 1000
hungry guests, the planning and
production of the food at such

Art’s Place...a satisfying meal
By Chris Chambers
Lunch here at Art’s Place is:
A) like taking a trip to Italy; B)
going to your local Familyowned restaurant; C) trying to
find a needle in a haystack; or
D) the best kept secret in Rohnert Park? Of course, like all
questions of this nature, the answer is all of the above.
With 40 years of experience
in the food industry, it might
surprise you to know that Art’s
Place is only a little more than 3
years old. And it might surprise
you to know that there are a
wide variety of non-Italian
menu items, and one of the
most often ordered for lunch is
the proverbial hamburger. And
with that hamburger there are
some great French fries or
onion rings to compliment that
burger. I know there are a cou-

Abscess warns us

Wandering a major risk

The Community Voice
“My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.” Ernest
Hemingway (1899–1961)
Ernest Hemingway, one of
the great American authors of
the 20th century, was ahead of
his time when he recognized the
connection between his health
and his productivity.
The irony of Hemingway’s
quote is that at age 61, he shot
himself, committing suicide
after his health had broken
down.
When your body alerts you
that something is wrong, take
care of the problem right away.
Even minor warnings should
never be ignored. Your body is
telling you something needs immediate attention. One of the
things your body can alert you
to is an abscess.
Dental abscess
Dental abscesses are often
extremely painful because they

can expand in soft tissue of the
body. However, a dental abscess in the bone cannot expand
and instead produces painful

nerves. Usually a dental abscess can be treated successfully with root canal therapy or
an extraction. If left untreated a
dental abscess will eventually

council.
A number of newspaper articles suggest a desperate campaign of misinformation was
used. This misinformation extends to some of the current
public information published by
city hall from time to time.
If you run for city council,
plan on speaking to a lot of people as you pass out your campaign flyers. I did and received
much encouragement and support. Usually, the League of
Women Voters put on a candidate’s information night. The
two incumbents that I ran
against then never could agree
on one of several dates suggested so the event was canceled.
There is also a $50 tax that
goes to the state for the privilege of running for public office. This is akin to a poll tax
the U.S. Supreme Court struck
down not so many years ago.
One last item in case you did
not know it. While serving on

the council, you will receive
$400 per month (well deserved)
plus full medical, dental and
eyewear paid for by the city
plus retirement. Note that the
council members are not employees of the city nor are their
family members. Most city employees currently pay for a significant portion of their
benefits. The real kicker here is
that after three terms in office,
council members will receive
their benefits for themselves
and their immediate family for
life. What to do next? Make
sure you vote! I would encourage you to run as a write-in candidate, as replacing three
existing council members now
would return representation
back to the citizens.
Even write-ins are OK nowadays. For me, I usually do not
vote for incumbents, as they

Rosa, CA
Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $341,613.62

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all
liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title
insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee
sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed,
and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may
call (714) 848-9272 or or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the
file number assigned to this case 15-40704. Information about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Graton makes contribution
to water quality campaign
The Community Voice
The leadership of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR) has jumped into the local
political waters by making a financial contribution
to help support the Sonoma County Regional
Parks and Water Quality Improvement measure.
The FIGR has pledged $200,000 for the measure, which the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved and which will be on the Nov. 8
ballot.
The measure will provide locally controlled
funding with the intention to improve access to
parks, natural areas and trails; provide safe places
for children to play and explore in the outdoors;
open existing parkland to the public; protect clean
drinking water sources and preserve parks and
open space for future generations.
The measure will be a half-cent sales tax in unincorporated Sonoma County and will generate an
estimated $9.5 million.

Since 2012, the school district’s trustees have placed a
bond or parcel tax measure on
the ballot. Measure D, passed in
2012, added an additional $1.1
million for the district’s General
Fund.
In 2014, Measure B, an $80
million bond measure was
passed. A renewal of Measure D
was passed in a special election
in 2015.
The fact all bond measures
passed is a strong indication of
how the local community values
education and is willing to open
its collective pocketbook to support the district.
This year’s bond measure, ap-
proved for election at the board’s
meeting in July, calls for $80
million in general obligation
bonds at a rate not to exceed $49
per $100,000 of assessed value.
This November’s election will
mark the fourth time that Barich,
since being recalled by Cotati
voters in 2009, will be making an
attempt to get back on the council.
This will be the first time both

If the school bus driver is able to

issue a warning letter to the

The location of the violation will
also be given to officers working

The first step is deciding how you’d like
to prepare your meat. Consider stepping up
your game by smoking your meat. Smoking is a popular choice because it infuses
flavor through≠out the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures
make it extra tender. Another advantage is
the chance to create a wide range of unique
flavors using wet and dry rubs, as well as
seasoned wood chips and planks.

One of the most delicious and decadent cuts of beef

Perhaps the most flavorful way to perform that “low and

which imparts the wonderful flavors of wood smoke into
the meat. While not everybody has access to a proper

Distemper dangerous to your cat or dog
By Mickey Zeldes
Imagine you stepped out of
your house one evening to go
for a walk and was confronted
by an obviously sick, disoriented raccoon. What would you
think? Rabies would come to
mind, most likely. And you
could be right because all of
Sonoma County is considered a
rabies endemic area. More importantly, would you know
what to do?
A couple weeks ago Rohnert
Park dispatch got a call about a
rabid raccoon in front of someone’s home in the E section. As
rabies is a threat to humans, the
call was taken seriously, but because it was after hours and beyond the scope of our usual
calls, we turned to Sonoma
Wildlife Rescue for assistance.
Advice from the wildlife experts is that you should never
attempt to catch a sick wild animal yourself. If you can contain
it in some way that can be helpful; but you should never attempt to catch, or even touch, a
sick raccoon or opossum. Don’t
offer it food either, although if
it’s that sick it probably won’t
eat anyway. Just call for help as
soon as possible.
Turns out this critter didn’t
have rabies (whew!) but had
distemper, which has very similar symptoms. Raccoons are
special because they can catch
and carry both canine and feline
distemper. Although those two
have the same name, they are
very different viruses and can
exhibit different symptoms.
These viruses are not transmittable to humans but can definitely infect our pets.
Distemper can spread through
direct or even indirect contact
with the saliva and nasal discharge of infected animals.
Canine distemper is the one
most often mistaken for rabies
because the animal can appear
disoriented and will have a discharge coming from the eyes
and nose (hence appearing to be
frothing around the mouth).
Distemper begins with upper
respiratory symptoms such as
sneezing, watery eyes and
fever. It progresses to the gastrointestinal system causing
vomiting and diarrhea and then
can go into the nervous system
causing fits, seizures and paralysis. Distemper has no cure, so
treatment (for dogs and cats) is
mostly supportive therapies and
focused on relieving symptoms.
In cats, distemper first attacks the blood cells compromising the immune system and
leaving the kitten vulnerable to
other viruses. It then affects the
gastrointestinal system, causing
vomiting and diarrhea leading
to dehydration. The cat might
then show signs of seizures
looking similar to the canine
version but the two are distinct
SSU to work with Latino
Service Providers on big
mental health endowment
Latino Service Providers has
received a $1 million grant to explore how Latino cultural practices promote mental and
behavioral health.
As part of the grant, Sonoma
State University faculty and students will work with the organization and other agencies to
recruit and train high school students over the next six years to
identify and implement cultural
practices as therapeutic practices.
Latino Service Providers President and SSU Professor Francisco H. Vázquez hopes this will
open the door for MediCal and
insurance companies to pay for
cultural practices as mental
health practices.
“Our main goal is to look at
how cultural practices such as
mariachi music, mural painting,
Aztec danza, festivals, pláticas
(conversation), theatre and curanderismo promote mental and
behavioral
health,”
says
Vázquez. “The next step then is
to validate these practices into
evidence-based
practices
through rigorous evaluation to
potentially qualify them as a formal therapy.”
Mental Health problems have
been shown to disproportionately affect Latinos in Sonoma
County. Farmworkers were
three-times more likely to binge
drink in the past 30 days when
compared to U.S. adults in 2011
(47 percent vs. 18 percent), according to the 2013-14 Sonoma
County Farmworker Health Survey. And when screened with the
PHQ-2 depressive screening
tool, female farmworkers (22
percent) were significantly more
likely than male farmworkers (7
percent) to need additional
screening for a depressive disorder.
The program, called “Testimonios: Reducing Mental Health
Disparities for Latinos,” focuses
on training high school students

(mental health advocates) who
will collect, disseminate and circulate information between
home, school, and social media
on the one hand and state evaluators, LSP, and public and private agencies on the other.
“There is a lot to do in the initial six months,” says Vázquez,
who is also the director of the
Hutchins Institute for Public Policy at SSU. “I will be talking to
people in the community who already make these practices a way
of life to create an advisory
board, and establish collaborative agreements with KBBF
Bilingual Radio, the Sonoma
County Department of Health
Services, Behavioral Health Division (BHD), the Health Sciences Department at Santa Rosa
Junior College, Santa Rosa City
Schools and Roseland School
District to help us select the students and schedule their training.”
By fall 2017, Vázquez hopes
to have three different high
schools set up with one-year
classes that culminate in a certificate for students to be community mental health workers. LSP
will familiarize those students
with resources for mental health
treatment in Sonoma County.
The students will use that knowledge and take an inventory of
mental health needs in their own
communities, then connect those
in need with the correct resource.
Students will receive a stipend
for their work.
Another facet is getting more
Latino students interested in a
career in mental health. “We are
trying to create a pipeline for students to become mental health
workers, because there’s a
tremendous lack of bilingual
Latinos in that field,” Vázquez
said.
The grant from California Department of Public Health is
funded by the Mental Health
Services Act of 2004 (Proposition 63).

Good reports on A-zone deer hunting
By Bill Hanson
The Sportsmen’s Report
The earliest reports in are very good for
A-zone deer season. The California Dept.
of Fish and Game has recorded one of the
best opening weekends in recent years.
Some bucks are big for this zone and
some are like, “Really? You shot that little
buck?” The wild pig population got stirred
up some this weekend, and with hunters already in the bush, some good porkers were
also bagged. The season is long, so do get

Did you know the sea otter is a member of
the mustelid order, as are beavers? They
have scent glands with which they identify
each other. The smell is not as strong as a
skunk by a long shot. Still when you approach beaver you can smell them before
you see them. The same is true of the sea
otter. Perhaps Mr. Shark can hone in on the
odor and eat the eater.
Camping improving
Late summer camping is getting really
good. My favorite is camping on the coast
this time of year. The ocean can be calm,
the sea breeze clean and fresh, and campfires are the stuff of legend. Get out and
take advantage of it all.
Now that school is open campsites are
not all full, so drop-in is possible. Phone
ahead or check the state camping web site

Abalone season is rocking
Abalone season is in full swing again.
The snails are asleep during the day, so you
don’t have to sneak up on them. Well, you
kind of have to sneak up as they feel pressure in the water and can clamp down on
the rock so tight you have to hammer your
ab iron between the foot and rock. Of
course, you are on breath-hold mode in say,
20 feet of water…cold, scary water with
sharks and kelp. Oh my! No wonder
abalone is so rare. Here’s a news flash,
there are more abalone out there in our near
shore environment than there was when I
began diving in 1975.
By any unbiased assessment, the population is healthy and well on our coast. Not
so south of the Golden Gate. So many pollutants eventually impacted the abalone
population that some diseases and parasitic
invasions nearly wiped out the tasty mollusk.
Off Monterey they are still thriving. I’ve
been under the Point Lobos Reserve, protected for many decades. The sea life there
is happy and plentiful, as is our coast. The
abalone at the reserve are healthy, just past
where the furry little arms of a sea otter can
reach. They love abalone and most anything they can get their cute little paws on.

earned
All-Academic honors from their respective

In the CCAA alone, 70 student-athletes were

During 2015-16, Sonoma State studentathletes combined to earn a 3.097 GPA. It
was the second consecutive year that the
Seawolves have set a new department GPA
record, upping their mark from 3.037 in
2014-15.
The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) placed 70 Seawolves on its
2015-16 All-Academic team, the Pacific
West Conference (PacWest) named 11 men's
and women's tennis student-athletes to its
Honor Roll, and the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) recognized

Rock hunting delayed
Rock hunting in the desert is on hold.
Folks do it, but the day time temperature
can be deadly out there. They can wait until
winter for me to visit again. The streams
are an excellent source for rock hounding
right now.
The streams at the north end of the state,
say Siskiyou, Humboldt and Trinity, are
full of treasures. Each day lowering water
levels reveal new material for the lucky
rock hound. Think about some of the wonderful Jade that comes out of the streams
and rivers there. The beautiful pink and
black Rhodonite and colorful Jaspers for
the taking, so much fun to be had, so little

Can new rental agreement
plausibly pass for mortgage?
Rental income can be a double-edged sword if you need it
to qualify. Here’s what to know
about your future rental income
when it comes time to getting a
mortgage…
Some mortgage companies
will give you the benefit of
using fair market rents for income when buying a rental
property. The type of financing
is called non-owner occupied
and it does cost more than primary home financing. Expect a
rate of 25-35 basis points higher
than owner-occupied and secondary home transactions.
Where it may get sticky
Let’s say you have a rental
property that you had for the
last few years. Your new rental
agreement is higher than the
rental income from previous
years, which are identified on
your tax return. You cannot use
this new income to qualify, as
there is no history of that income. Lenders will perform a
rental property analysis, taking
into consideration depreciation,
expenses, insurance, mortgage,
HOA and interest paid to banks.
The net income of this lender
average is what is used to determine how your rental well hurt,
help or have no effect on your
ability to borrow.
• Mortgage tip: Know that
showing big losses on your
Schedule E will limit your borrowing power. It does not automatically preclude you from
qualifying, but it does count

into your debt-to-income ratio.
Your debt-to-income ratio is a
benchmark factor lenders use
to assess how much debt loan
you can carry against your income.
How rental income comes
together for a mortgage
General lending rules with
rental properties:
• Projected rents may be used
by most lenders as an offset
against the mortgage payment
at 75 percent gross market rents
determined with an appraisal
when buying a property.
• If you owned a rental property for the last 12 months,
lender averages your expenses
which may impact your income
ratios and ultimately how much
mortgage you can handle.
• If you bought a rental in the
last year, but have not yet filed
your return you can use 75 percent of the rents with a rental
agreement bypassing the rental
averaging lenders use.
make all the difference in how
you qualify with a lender. Even
if a property is showing a loss,
it still may make sense to borrow as keeping the property
over time might mean carrying
forward losses to offset against
future taxable earnings.
Alternatively, selling the
property may net extra funds to
purchase another property, minimizing any rental losses in the
process.
Please note, always consult
with a licensed tax professional
regarding your unique situation.

Nearly 30 nonprofit and government organizations will recruit students at Sonoma State
University's annual Service and
Internship Fair on Sept. 1, from
11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. in Salazar
Plaza.
The fair provides community
organizations the opportunity to
get students involved with their
work and gives students a chance
to explore opportunities for
meaningful internships and community service opportunities.
Groups like the United Way of
the Wine Country, American Red
Cross, Sonoma County Board of
Supervisors, Positive Images and
many others will be on hand to
recruit students for volunteer
work and internships. Many academic classes and programs at
Sonoma State require volunteer
hours or internship credits.
“Students have the opportunity to connect directly with
community partners,” says
Merith Weisman, coordinator of
Sonoma State's Center for Community Engagement and organ-
izer of the event. “It’s different
facing people one-on-one than
responding to an email. Making
that connection in person can
make all the difference.”
One nonprofit recruiting at the
event is Farmster, a nonprofit
founded by a group of recent
SSU alumni.
The group is developing and
operating a five-acre community
farm at Sonoma Mountain Village, just a few miles from campus.
“We see this event as a great
opportunity to take steps to pursue our mission to bring youth
back into agriculture,” says
Farmster Program Coordinator
Jenna Topper.
Students can register for internship credits as late as Sept.
19, though some departments
may have earlier deadlines. For
more information go to the Center for Community Engagement’s
website

Empire receives $100,000
gift from Finley Foundation
The Ernest L. and Ruth W.
Finley Foundation recently
gifted $100,000 to the Empire
College Foundation to further
the college’s free General Education Diploma (GED) preparation
program for the public. The program was initially funded by a
$250,000 donation to the Empire
College Foundation from the estate of former Empire College
board member, businessman,
and civic leader Evert Person.
The new grant from the Finley
Foundation is estimated to perpetuate the program through
2021.
Training and materials, along
with the cost of the four-part
GED exam, are all provided at
no cost for those whose current
educational equivalency is at the
eleventh or twelfth grade level.
Classes are held at the Empire
College
campus
Monday
through Thursday, with a choice
of morning and afternoon sessions. Since the program’s inception in 2012, 171 individuals
have attained their GEDs. With
17 to 25 percent of high school
students in Sonoma County not
completing high school during
the past 6 years, along with
higher unemployment rates and
lower earnings for this group, the
need for preparation programs
for the GED is increasing.
Empire College offers educational opportunity grants ranging
from $1,000-$2,000 toward one
of our programs.”
