By Dave WilliamsThe Downtown Specific Plan

Revitalization Project in Cotati isnearing completion, according toCity of Cotati staff, which maybe accelerated thanks to a one-time influx of money from theState of California.The Cotati City Council at its

meeting on Tuesday unani-mously adopted a resolution ap-propriating and increasing theproject’s budget by $250,000 toa revised total that will not ex-ceed $2.919 million. The pur-pose of the money will be toreplace the slurry seal road treat-ment with overlay treatment forOld Redwood Highway fromHighway 116 to La Plaza.According to a city staff re-

port, the State of California hasaccelerated and paid off the Eco-

nomic Recovery Bonds issuedunder Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger. The mecha-nism established to fund the var-ious state obligations, includingservicing the bonds, was termedthe “triple flip.” The triple flipsunset in Fiscal Year 2015-16,resulting in final one-time bal-ancing adjustments received bythe cities and counties. Cotati’s final balancing adjust-

ment, which was determinedafter adoption of the Fiscal Year2016-2017 budget, is$247,836.03, which was not in-cluded into the city’s adopted

budget. Cotati’s adopted FY2016-17 budget includes a 32percent operating reserve, whichexceeds the council’s 25 percentoperating contingency policy. Because the city has extra in

its reserves, according to thestaff report, it could choose tosave the money or to use it on in-frastructure improvements. Citystaff recommended the road im-provements, given the currentstate of the roadway, Old Red-wood Highway’s importance tothe city along with the simulta-neous improvements to the gate-way area occurring now.

Although this roadway is fed-eral-aid eligible, there are noforeseeable federal funds avail-able, as the needs statewide farexceed any available funding. “I think we have to look at this

stretch of road downtown andOld Redwood Highway,” Coun-cilman John Dell’Osso said. “It’san opportunity to fix up our mainstreet. It runs right through thecenter of town, and it’s used byevery jurisdiction around us. Iwould hope the improvementswe make to that road in ourdowntown area could in the longterm help the businesses that arethere and the potential busi-nesses in the future would comebecause there’s a nicely pavedroad and whatever parking avail-able is there.”

By Dave WilliamsBoth the city councils of Cotati and

Rohnert Park paid tribute to ArturoIbleto, also famously known as thePasta King, in honor of his 90th birth-day. He picked up his first proclamation

at the 5 p.m. Rohnert Park City Coun-cil meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 27 andthen…“I don’t have much time because I

have to be at another city hall to getanother…” Ibleto said.Just about every city in Sonoma

County wanted to honor Ibleto for allhe’s done to help people in the county.In fact, he had to send representativesto other council meetings to pick uphis honors.He also was honored two hours later

by the Cotati City Council, where heand Councilman John Dell’Osso alsoengaged in a discussion in Italian, asIbleto did earlier with Rohnert ParkMayor Gina Belforte.Ibleto, born in Argentina but raised

in northern Italy, left Italy for theUnited States in 1947. This after shun-ning Mussolini’s army during WorldWar II to join the Italian Resistance.

‘Ibleto,’ see page 16

“The most glorious moments in your lifeare not the so-called days of success, butrather those days when out of dejection

and despair you feel rise in you achallenge to life, and the promise of

future accomplishments.”

By Isabella GiovenazzoWhat can be written in a

brief newspaper story about aman who has worked and livedin Rohnert Park for almost 50years and who has helped andserved so many people in thecommunity?What can be said about the

Reverend Dr. Sam Tharpe? Tospeak with this man is inspir-ing, and one of the best thingsabout him would be his gentlemanner and his smile, which ismost closely described with theword “jolly.” His face lights upas he talks about the kids he hascoached and mentored over theyears, and he says it’s becauseof them that he was chosen tobe grand marshal for Saturday’sFounders Day Parade in Rohn-ert Park.One of them, now a film di-

rector in Los Angeles, recentlylet him know that his life waschanged by Rev. Tharpe, whospeaks of them like family. Hesays, “My kids I’ve coached,I’m coaching them for life.They’re my friends. They keepin touch with me. Some of theseguys just lost their parents, orsomething and want to talk. I’mthere for them, not just as aminister, I’m there as a friend.I’ve taught some of these guysfrom the 7th and 8th grade.”What makes him so ap-

proachable? “It’s just me…maybe it’s my

personality,” he said. “I try totreat people with dignity and re-spect, and they always treatedme the same way. I’ve seen alot of kids grow up and I’veburied a lot of kids, unfortu-nately. I’m a part of what makesup the fabric of this area, andI’ve seen it grow. I’ve seenchange in a lot of areas. Thebest things about this city arethe people. I’ve always seen thegood in people...this county al-ways had more good peoplethan bad.”Family means everythingHe met his wife, Joy, at

Sonoma State University, andsays it’s because of her and hiskids, Amy and Sam, that he hasbeen able to accomplish somuch. When asked what his greatest

accomplishments are, hereplies, “Just feeding a lot ofpeople for over 25 years is oneof the greatest accomplishmentsanybody could have.”He is referring to the Thanks-

giving dinners and Christmasbaskets that he has helped toprovide through the Boys andGirls Club. He adds, “Just to be there for

people is an accomplishment.Or, to go out and look for folksto help. People want to do goodbut sometimes have no avenueto do good. And getting peopleto help you do what you need todo; those are accomplishments.I’m just the catalyst...If you canbe there for them that want todo something, that’s a greatthing.”Tharpe also spoke of the

need for more people to becomeinvolved in their communitiesand to get to know their neigh-

bors. He talked about the busynature of life keeping people ata distance from each other.“Some people don’t even

want to know their neighbors,but you’ve got to want to knowthem, and to want to be aroundpeople,” Tharpe said. “To invitethem in for sandwiches and tosit down and talk. That’s howyou build trust in people.” Hecontinues, “I’m hoping that thisworld one day will get togetherin terms of loving each otherand respecting each other.” Doubtful we’ll see changeHe is doubtful, however, he

will see this type of change.Why? He believes all the propa-ganda that people are exposedto creates fear. He says, “Peopleare afraid of each other. Whenpeople ask me about the shoot-ings of black folks, and of this,that and the other; you know,everybody has their own opin-ions. I’m just hoping that oneday we just approach things dif-ferently as people, as human

beings.”How does he stay positive

amidst fear and negative propa-ganda? “I don’t allow negative things

to be a part of me,” he said. “Ihad cancer and in three monthsit was gone because every day Igot up and I said ‘I’m gonnalaugh a lot today. This thingisn’t gonna beat me,’ and it did-n’t. So, I look for the positivethings in people. I look for thepositive things in life.” His go-to mottoWhen faced with the unex-

pected he has a motto: “Everysetback is a set-up for a come-back, so when you have set-backs look for somethinggreater to happen to you.”When asked what type of

legacy he would like to leavefor the local community, hesays, “I hope to get help so Ican continue to feed people andto help people. I want to justreach out or be there for people.If that’s a legacy, that’s kind of

what I’m going for.” For a manwho worked 40 hours a weekwhile playing football and tak-ing classes, who made theDean’s List twice and graduatedin three years, was inductedinto the Hall of Fame atSonoma State two times, andhas always found time to helpothers in need, his legacy hascertainly helped to build astronger community in RohnertPark. And back to that smile,

which he believes can go a longway in helping people feel bet-ter. He states, “Just being niceto people. A big smile is wortha lot, and to look at people andsay something that might makethem smile is good. We don’tget enough of that.”You will get the chance to

see the Reverend Dr. Tharpesmile and wave as the proces-sion happens on Saturday at 10a.m., beginning at Lawrence E.Jones Middle School and con-tinuing down Snyder Lane toRancho Cotate High School.

Len Geraldi, Kristine Redko, Cassie Whittington and Rosemary Mo-jica are shown with the plaque of music and memory - Music in theMind, which was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rancho Cotati.

Photo courtesy of Rotary Club of Rancho Cotati

By Irene HilsendagerThe members of the Rotary

Club of Rancho Cotati were in-spired by the documentary“Alive Inside,” a dogma thatchronicles the startling experi-ences of elderly individualsthroughout the country whohave been reinvigoratedthrough a simple experience oflistening to music.This influential film revealed

the uniquely human conjunctionthat is found in music and howits healing capability can suc-ceed where prescription med-ication is lacking, especially incases of dementia andAlzheimer’s.Among some participants, re-

searchers had found synchro-nization in several key brainareas and similar brain activitypatterns in different people whowould listen to the same music.This suggests that participantswould not only perceive themusic the same way but despitewhatever personal differencesthey brought to the table, therewas a level on which theywould share a common experi-ence. Brain regions involved in

movement, attention, planningand memory would consistentlyshow activation when partici-pants listened to music.Through discussions, the Ro-

tary Club of Rancho Cotati de-cided to partner with theWindsor Care Center ofPetaluma (WCCP) and to thisconclusion, they would pur-chase and configure 18 iPodshuffles/headphones with musicthat the chosen participantsalong with their families wouldidentify the era or special expe-riences to the patients. The iPods were filled with

music by volunteers includingthe Technology Middle SchoolInteract Club and then given tothe individuals with various de-grees of dementia orAlzheimer’s.

The Rotary Club’s goalswere exceeded both quantita-tively and emotionally. By playing the favorite or fa-

miliar music, eyes lit up, limbsmoved, speech and interactionimproved, coloring becamemore precise and daily hygenicroutines became animated suchas combing of the hair andbrushing their teeth unassisted.The Windsor Care Center ofPetaluma now incorporatedMusic and Mind into a regulardaily routine. WCC has also added other

elements such as lavender can-dles, familiar tactile objects andhand massages into their pro-gram.Throughout the 2015 rotary

year, the RCRC had a coregroup of five or six volunteerswho would visit the WindsorCare Center several times tohelp monitor the interest andprogress of the program. The club even co-hosted a

Rotary Valentine’s Day to assistall the residents of the WCC inmaking valentines and decorat-ing cookies for their visitingfamilies.Cassie Whittington, a fellow

Rotarian from the San RafaelEvening Club and also a thera-pist at WCC, put a journalingprogram into place in order totrack the progress of the 18 res-idents along with their familiesand other staff members. Theclub also received a Rotary Dis-trict Grant for their valiant ef-forts.Not every experience is atotal breakthrough but whilewatching “Alive Inside” andseeing the results at WCCP, it isknown that even the tinieststeps forward can be life chang-ing for both the recipient andcaretakers. Anyone interested in learning

more about any aspect of theMusic and the Mind programshould [email protected] or call (707)535-6427.

Interest wanes. Make sure the idea is not worth pursuing before you toss it aside, Pisces. Invitations arrive by the handful. Pick the best and leave the rest.

Travel plans get put on the back burner when a deadline at work is moved up. Gather the team and get busy, Aries. You’re closer than you think.

Some relationships are worth saving, Taurus. Make amends. A home improvement project goes more smoothly than expected. It’s all in the prep work.

Stumbling blocks pop up left and right, but they are no problem for you, Gemini. A wish resurfaces, and this time, it is granted, thanks to someone special.

Gratitude is hard to come by these days. Don’t let it get to you, Cancer. It’s the completion of the to-do list that counts. A date is switched.

It doesn’t matter how you look at it, Leo, it is still a problem that must be resolved. Financial stresses make for a tense time at home, but all is soon worked out.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, Virgo. There is more to be done than you realize. Roll up your sleeves and dig in. Experimentation in the kitchen wows.

Fall picks call for some creativity at the grill. Grab that pal that loves to barbecue, Libra. A long-lost friend shows up at just the right time.

Fudge the truth, Scorpio? You might want to rethink that notion. Look who you are dealing with. A grand plan is in the works at home.

A sudden move at home leads to a long to-do list. Tackle it one step at a time, Sagittarius. Rush, and you could wind up with a big mess on your hands.

Some collectibles are worth displaying, Capricorn. Take the suggestion into consideration. Confidence continues to grow at the office, as the results come in.

The colors of fall inspire you to make some changes in décor at home. Start with that neglected corner, Aquarius. It could be so much more!

Fran Pavley, about to betermed out of her seat in thestate Senate, was worried be-fore the June primary election:Would her trusted longtime aideHenry Stern be aced out of theNovember runoff election tosucceed her by a more business-oriented Democrat?The answer turned out to be

no, but it was no sure thing, asStern managed only a 7-percentmargin over Janice Kamenir-Reznik, attorney and longtimeactivist, president of the Cali-fornia Women’s Law Centerand co-founder of anti-genocideorganization Jewish WorldWatch.This was a classic fight be-

tween Democrats whose priori-ties are only slightly different.Stern has a strong environmen-talist record. Kamenir-Reznikwas perceived as more busi-ness-friendly. So a large shareof the $900,000 in primaryelection spending – mostlymoney from businesses – in theSan Fernando Valley-based27th state Senate district wentto Kamenir-Reznik, while Sterngot some support from laborunions. Pavley, who wrote land-mark state environmental lawslike the 2006 limits on green-house gases and carried legisla-tion making the reopening ofthe leaky Southern CaliforniaGas Co. Aliso Canyon naturalgas storage field more difficult,could breathe easier.Stern did not lead the field in

the primary, but he was the

leading Democrat and is fa-vored to best Republican SteveFazio in the fall.This race played out differ-

ently from others in the new po-litical reality that’s emergedhere since the 2010 adoption ofthe Top Two primary electionsystem. The new system, whichsees a one-party U.S. Senaterace and more than two-dozenone-party legislative and con-gressional matchups this fall,has spawned a de facto thirdsignificant political party,loosely called the “business De-mocrats.”This grouping, often elected

over opposition from labor-backed fellow Democrats, rep-resents fulfillment of the statedpurpose of Proposition 14,which created Top Two. It’sgenerally moderate members

usually vote with Democrats onsocial issues like abortion andgun control, but are far less en-vironmentally oriented than theparty mainstream. The Republi-can minority in Democrat-dom-inated districts often helps electthem. They are the big reasonbusiness-funded political actioncommittees will spend wellmore than $20 million this yearon California legislative andcongressional races, eventhough the 17 state propositionson the November ballot are di-verting some business-donatedPAC money. Education interestsalso are splitting money be-tween candidates who favorcharter schools (generally busi-ness Democrats) and thoseloyal to teachers’ unions.A typical race of this type

comes in San BernardinoCounty, where moderate, busi-ness-oriented Democrats havenever been rare. That’s whereincumbent AssemblywomanCheryl Brown, backed by real-tors and oil companies, benefit-ted from more than $600,000 inbusiness PAC money during theprimary. Business PACs mighthave to spend heavily in the 3rdSenate district, where longtimeincumbent Lois Wolk of Davisis termed out. This race also features two

Democrats, the business-ori-ented Bill Dodd, now an assem-blyman, facing Mariko Yamada,a former assembly member.Dodd got more than three timesas much financial support in the

primary as all other candidatescombined, but is still not as-sured of election unless he getssubstantial support from thedistrict’s minority Republicans. EdVoice, a so-called “re-

form” group advocating morerigorous school evaluations,scored a major primary victoryin the nearby 4th Assembly Dis-trict, covering parts of Napa,Yolo and Sonoma Counties,when Winters Mayor CeciliaAguiar-Curry drew 28 percentof the vote, thus eliminatingWolk’s son Dan, who scored 25percent. The bottom line is that there

are fewer sure-thing races forCongress and the Legislature inthe offing this fall than beforeTop Two began, and that theminority party in districts heav-ily dominated by either Democ-rats or Republicans will decidesome close races.Smaller parties don’t like

this, because they have norunoff election slots, but theycan fix that if they draw morevotes down the line and, per-haps, raise more money to helpthem draw those votes.Email Thomas Elias at

THE HICKSVILLE PUBLICLIBRARY was on EastNicholai Street a few blocksfrom Hicksville Junior HighSchool. As a curious fifthgrader I often walked over andwould look at book titles in theadult section, probably wonder-ing why they were called “adultbooks.” Then I remember, a short li-

brarian with her hair pinned tothe top of her head to make her-self taller came over, pointed inanother direction and said“Children’s books are overthere, this section is forgrownups.” I was humiliated and hoped

none of my classmates saw mequietly taking a scolding from alibrarian. Libraries used to be like that.

They only had books, a well-thumbed, grimy-faced card cat-alog and were usually staffedwith properly formal women

and sometimes men, whohardly ever smiled.My mother liked libraries,

but Hicksville was a small townon Long Island and we lived onEast Street, way over on theother side of town. So she choseher books in a nearby drug storewhich had a rental library withseveral shelves, and for a fewpennies or a nickel a week shecould borrow books.Drug stores these days carry

a large stock of paperbackbooks, new or used but mostlynew best-sellers which are sup-plied by book-tainted distribu-tors, like Stu Sergeant ofRohnert Park and publishinghouses. It’s a real cottage industry for

Stu and Eloise and you can fre-quently see Stu, armed withsmall computers, looking atbooks in thrift shops to begrabbed up, if they’re clean andnot torn, and repackaged so

they can be stocked on drugstore shelves. I often went back to the

Nicholai Street library andwhen the librarian was busyelsewhere, sneaked over andlooked at the adult’s section. Ididn’t take any of them to the

front desk, for I was afraid theunsmiling librarian wouldn’t letme check them out on my juve-nile library card. LIBRARIES SURE HAVE

changed since Nicholai Streetdays. If you counted people,adults and kids, there’s morefoot traffic to and from the li-brary than the Community Cen-ter, Callinan Sports Center andCity Hall combined. I wouldn’tbe surprised if you combinedthe foot traffic at Costco andWalmart, the totals would stillfall short of the library’s. Intruth libraries have becomecommunity centers unto them-selves. We can give credit to all the

computers with easy access,special kiddie programs like“Reading to Your Dog,” and theprograms for tots to introducethem to books they might notget at home; Teen and Young

Adult Book sections, Friends ofthe Library and their splendidused book store and the Ar-mando Flores big meeting roomfor citizens of both cities tohold important citywide debatesand discussions; and the freemusic performances for every-one held in this meeting room.YET DURING THESE

DAYS of the 21st century li-braries are underfunded. Theyneed a Yes vote on Measure Y.This is not like school bondswho need a bond measure onthe ballot every two years tosurvive. They’ve had to closeevery Monday to meet theirbudget, and this is listed as themost irritant step of the fundingcrisis as far as the public’s beentelling us.In fact, if the county library’s

board of directors solemnlypledged that if Measure Y is ap-proved, their first step would be

to re-open the libraries on Mon-days, Measure Y would win bya healthy margin. RP’s CITY COUNCIL ap-

proved Measure Y, listed ontheir Sept. 27 agenda. RP’sVice-Mayor Jake Mackenzie isdue to be named mayor some-time in December. His wife,Barbara Mackenzie, is chiefspokesperson and member ofthe Library Advisory Board. Ifthe council would have cast anegative vote on Measure Y, I’dhate to be a fly on the wall inthe Mackenzie household.That’s just one anecdotal rea-

son for a Yes vote on MeasureY. There are many other reasonsmostly in the area of commonsense. I assume voters use their in-

dividual common sense whenthey mail in their ballots or visitin person (as I do) their electionballot headquarters.

The Brainy DogBy Sherry Clark

“We're getting rid of ourdog…”

These words send chillsdown a dog professional’sspine. Wait, don’t stop reading.More information is better thanless information. You deserve toknow the options so you canmake the most informed deci-sion possible. Are you a quitter?Would you give up on yourchildren? Do you know dogsthink of you as family? Do youknow dogs think?

Here are a few questions toassist in your difficult decision.• Which option will convey

the most positive image toyour children, friends andfamily?

a) Get rid of the dogb) Face and resolve the is-

sues?• Which option will make

you "feel" best about your-self?


sues?• Which option will return

the love and devotion your

dog has already unselfishlyshared with you?


sues?Be brave, be the leader by

providing positive “life lessons”for your family. Your familywill respect you more than youthought possible.

Are finances kicking yourtail? You're not alone. I get it.Food and a roof over your headare priority. But even if you arein a dire situation, consider thisquestion. If you lost everythingbut still had your family, wouldyou feel lucky? Would you beso thankful to have each other,that the grief from losing“things” quickly fades.

Just for the sake of your dog,put him or her in the family cat-egory instead of the things cate-gory. How does that look? Yourfamily (dog included) snuggledin the back seat of your car eat-ing rice? Could be worse. Thereare ways to get dog food (andhuman food) if you let yourselfask for assistance.

List three ways you can save30 dollars a month for dogfood. Bring your lunch towork? Cut commercial bever-

ages in half? Buy fewer ciga-rettes a month? Brain stormwith your family, everyone canpitch in a little. Write it on apiece of paper so it’s in blackand white. This is yet anotherway to gain your family’s re-spect.

One more question. If yourdog was well mannered, wouldyou try harder to keep him orher? That's the bottom line.Train your dog and your dogcan spend more time with you.Presumably spend his or herwhole life with you.

This is the reason I quit mybig fancy job to become a dogtrainer. I wanted to do some-thing important, more importantthan process improvement forbig corporations. Family ismore important. Making con-nections with nature for me, es-pecially animals, is moreimportant. Keeping dogs out ofshelters and with their families,to me, is extremely important.

The No. 1 reason dogs are inshelters is because they are un-trained. We humans fell downon the job. The reason over 4million dogs are put to deatheach year is because we didn'tproperly train our dogs. I know

that's a lot to think about. Sleepon it, process it, just don't dis-miss it without talking withyour family. Do it at 7 p.m. andmake a date with your familyand…what’s your dog’s name?

By the way, the following arechangeable behaviors. Chal-lenge me, I've devoted my lifeto this. I'll talk to you.

Jumping, barking, digging,chasing animals, nipping, bit-ing, growling, fighting, runningaway, peeing on the floor, poop-ing on the floor, pulling on theleash, going nuts at deliverypeople, lunging at dogs, eatingthe carpet, couch, or drywall,stealing food off the counter (orsteak from the grill), costing toomuch money (yah that too),knocking people over, drinkingfrom the toilet, following youeverywhere, jumping out of thewindow, barking while in thecar, scratching the car, gettingcar sick, eating the garden,smudging the windows, takingthe best seat in the house, grab-bing a stupid bottle of waterfrom the fridge instead of abeer, drooling (okay, not much Ican do about that one)…well, Imight have some ideas on thatone. I'll do my very best to helpyour dog stay in his or her fam-

ily. I promise!The reward for the family?

Check out these thoughts.You are the one who they’ll

talk about with admiration intheir eyes as they tell friends,lovers, counselors, grandchil-dren that:

“My parents were not per-fect, but they made darn surewe kept our dog Smoky evenwhen times were hard. Workingtogether we made sure Smokeyhad what he needed. It helpedus pull together. Keeping him,seemed to lower our stress. I re-member Smokey licking us onthe face and we would all bustout laughing.

On the other hand, don’tthink your family will forgetthat you are the one who dis-carded the family dog, thinkabout how that will programkids of the future?

If you’re not convinced tokeep your dog, at least vow tomodify your future behavior.Please don’t repeat the behaviorof getting a cute big-eyed ani-mal unless you plan ahead forthe life expectancy of that ani-mal (for dogs plan on 14-18years). Will you go to college?Where will the animal live dur-ing that time? It’s not Mom and

Dad’s job to take care of the an-imal you adopted unless youmade that agreement BEFOREyou brought your pet home.Gonna do it anyway?

Ask family and friends toadopt from you. Take the timeto find a no-kill shelter. Pay forads to advertise your dog. Makeposters explaining your situa-tion.

Pay for boarding until youfind a home. Place free ads on-line. Petfinder.com,craigslist.com, search for “freepet ads.”Note: Don’t offer your dog

as a “free” pet. There are badpeople out there who can makedark money (or worse) off freeanimals.

Train your dog so he or shehas a better chance for finding apermanent home, who knows,once trained you may changeyour mind.

When do you stop trying todo more to save your pet? I’mnot talking about making thedecision to euthanize – al-though if you’re not willing toat least treat the pain your pet isin if it’s ill, then euthanasia is amust.

I’m talking about doing yetone more test to check values oradding another medication,which needs monitoring, to analready full array of drugs. Ad-vances in veterinary care areawesome – we are able to cureor at least treat diseases that justa few years ago were a suredeath sentence.

But it all comes with a pricetag. I don’t know if you’veshared this experience but itseems like every trip to the vetis another $500 or more. Andthe trips are becoming morefrequent.

Not only do I have severalanimals each with their needs,my oldest dog, Poppy, a 12-year-old Sheltie is having a lotof health issues. She was diag-nosed with Cushing’s disease afew years ago and we havebeen giving her medications forthat.

It requires regular monitoringthrough blood tests. Cushing’scan cause high blood pressure,so she’s on medication for that.Her liver values were elevated,so she’s on a liver support pilland a special food.

She’s had an issue with in-continence, so she’s on an herb(which really works!) for that.It seemed her stomach was a lit-tle upset (whose wouldn’t bewith all this medication!) soshe’s on an antacid. Now she’scoughing so we put her oncough medication but that, we

found out after more tests, is asymptom of congestive heartfailure – so now there’s twomore pills!

Each medication has its ownrisks and side effects. My vethemmed and hawed as she ex-plained these to me. Saying thathelping the heart could hurt herkidneys, and not feeding thespecial diet could hurt her liverand having heart issues wouldaffect her appetite (she is skinand bones despite being fed 4meals a day) and so on. I finallyhad to say that I get it – my dogis getting close to her end andit’s just a question of which ofthese issues will do her in. Inthe meantime, she needs tobreathe and eat to stay alive. SoI guess I’ll treat her symptomsand we’ll do the best we can tokeep her comfortable. For me,that is the real issue. I’m not

going to force pills down herthroat or give her painful treat-ments so that she becomes re-sentful of me. It’s all aboutgiving her quality of life andkeeping her comfortable so shecan continue to do the thingsshe enjoys.

What really seemed ironic tome is that just this week I got acall from a woman who saidshe adopted a kitten from us 17years ago and she’s not eatingas well as she used to. She wasasking if she should offer hersome canned food, which shehas never done before. I saidthat was something she shouldreally discuss with her vet, butshe said she didn’t have one.The cat had always beenhealthy and only had to go tothe vet once a few years ago. In17 years, she had only paid forone vet visit! You can only

imagine how bad the cat’s teethare and she most likely hassomething serious going on ifshe is losing weight. But shewill die one day and the ownerwill just think that is what oldcats do.

Which is true and, again, Ijust worry about pain and suf-fering. It is not just neglect tolet a cat wither away. It can becruel.

I get that not everyone is inthe financial position to taketheir pet into the vet every timesomething goes wrong. But inthe meantime my pampered dogis getting nine different medica-tions and supplements. And myhusband and I are having thehard discussion about when dowe stop.Upcoming events• Fix-it clinics: Free cat

Casey is looking forsomeone with a BIG heart!

Someone who's willing to look past her lumps and geriatric is-sues to the sweetheart underneath (anyone who's had a labknows what I mean!). Casey was an unclaimed stray but weknow from her microchip that she is 11-1/2 years old - and itshows. She's a little arthritic and her eyesight and hearing is notwhat it used to be. But she is the happiest dog and absolutelyloves people! She enjoys going on walks and will even put thetennis ball back in your hand when playing fetch! Such a smartgirl! So sad when these seniors end up in a shelter. Anyone will-ing to take on a golden oldie?

The Sportsmen’s ReportBy Bill HansonI visited a giant sporting

goods store in Coddingtown. Ihad a simple question that re-quired me to find asalesman/woman, which was a10-minute search. The one I caught was 20-

something and seeminglybright. I posited my questionabout the difference in three dryfly lines that seemed identical,save the price. One line cost$35, No. 2 was $29 and thirdwas only $22. He looked atthem thoughtfully, scratched hisslightly fuzzy chin and said, “Idunno. (pointing to the most ex-pensive) This one is better.” I asked him what the differ-

ence is but my question fell ondeaf ears, as he was staring athis cell phone. A few morequestions on the subject andseveral glances at his cell phoneleft me no better off. He offeredto find someone to answer myquestion and left, deftly dodg-ing racks of sports clothingwhile looking at his cell phone. I stood at the rack of fly fish-

ing equipment. I want it all! Tenminutes passed by and I againset off to find some help. At thefront door there were two sales-men both looking at theirphones and ignoring me. Theonly person actually workingwas a young woman at the oneopen register, and she was tend-ing a line of six customers wait-ing to pay. Not willing to wait in line, I

went in search of help again.This time I found two 20-some-things who were looking attheir devices, not up to scout fora customer. In fact, when I ap-proached one young lady sheturned away without looking atme…her attention locked onher phone.So here’s the deal, by what

name do these people go by?“Cell phone zombies” is one

I’ve heard but none of the em-ployees tried to eat me, so zom-bie is not quite accurate. Theyseemed transfixed on their de-vices, Wiktionary (informationfound via my PC) says, “Trans-fixed, mesmerized, renderedmotionless, etc.”This did not work, I had just

watched clerks dodge me andracks of goods while glued totheir device. I have also seenpeople in cars who use a redlight to stare at their device orwork on their taxes after thelight has turned back to green.One young lady was drivingwest on Highway 12 with along line of cars forced to fol-low her at 20 mph while sheworked her phone. It got my goat even though I

was driving east. I’ve given upon Wiktionary, so now I’ll seewhat kind of blogs I can find onthe subject. Ooh! Nooo! Mr.Bill! Technology has bitten youtoo! Run for your lives, we’reall going to die!I’ll work on a more fitting

title for this ailment. Mean-while, I drove back to RohnertPark, parked my truck 10 stepsfrom the front door of our ownprofessional fishing store. I wasgreeted when I walked in by a20-something salesman whosecell phone was locked in itsholster. He directed me to thefly fishing department. Theclerk there was helpful and in-formative. I bought a new float-ing fly line at $37 and wenthome happy. The next time I attempt to

buy something, I’ll check mydevice for store ratings before Idarken their door.

‘Cotati’Continued from page 1Eris Weaver, who is running

for one of the three council seatsup for election this November,questioned the use of the moneyon this particular project.“I don’t know if this project of

fixing the road is the best use of$250,000…it might be,” Weaversaid. “Have other uses for thisbig one-time chunk been dis-cussed in terms of there’s allthese different things we want todo? What’s the best one to doright now with this chunk thatwe’re getting? That’s a questionI haven’t heard discussedtonight. To get this money andonly use it for one thing raisesthis question.”The project grant funding is

restricted to streetscape, bicycleand pedestrian improvements. Inaddition to the required localgrant match, only limited cityfunding was available for road-way improvements, resulting incontract documents calling for

slurry seal. City staff says that al-though slurry seal would providean improvement, underlyingroad defects would reappear andthe improvement would be lim-ited in duration. The city has negotiated a

change order with the projectcontractor for installation of adouble fiber seal overlay to re-place the slurry seal, includingroadway structural repairs and aleveling course. A double-fiberseal overlay is a new pavingmethod to Cotati, but has beenused by other agencies, includingCaltrans. This paving method isexpected to have an estimated 8-10-year life, can be applied todistressed asphalt and is a frac-tion of the cost of traditionalgrinding and paving. Thismethod would enable the city topave this very large area, includ-ing all road repairs and supple-mental bike lane striping for anamount not to exceed $250,000.A traditional grind and overlaywould cost between $400,000-$500,000, depending on scope.

school Romer and six other par-ents started a public schoolunder the Waldorf model. Thisschool became the WoodlandCharter School and was ex-tremely successful with 260children, and ironically it wasonly a kindergarten at first butthey used this style to get theirfeet wet. Romer, along with the

school, evolved very fast andsoon Romer was in administra-tion. This eventually led to plan-

‘Tatman’Continued from page 1commute anymore; she then be-came a principal at TechnologyMiddle school and serviced twoschools. About this time Tatman

started to express interest in theelementary school level. She checked out Hahn; this

was her first year at Hahn buther third year in the RohnertPark-Cotati Unified School Dis-trict. She had always heardabout Marguerite Hahn School,which was built in 1978 and hasa little over 500 students and re-ally thought about the elemen-tary expectations at Hahn. Tatman is married, lives in

Rohnert Park and has two chil-dren who are also enrolled inthe district. Some of Tatman’s goals for

the future are to make Hahnschool into a greater school

with her staff and all of thebuildings on campus; Tatmanhas much to offer to the staffand community. Tatman says, “I want to live

up to the expectations of HahnSchool since it was a CaliforniaDistinguished School. I want tocontinue to keep the wonderfulacademics and make sure thisschool goes forward in the mostpositive manner. For myself Ialways want to improve extracurriculum activities and keepeducating myself in a very posi-tive direction.”Ashley’s mom is also a high

school teacher working forSanta Rosa City Schools anddad owned his own small busi-ness; both having very highwork ethics. Marguerite HahnSchool will have a walk-a-thonOct. 4, as the school needs toraise $30,000 in cold hardmoney to make sure Tatmangets slimed by her students.

By Berniece OwenFinding good reading mate-

rial for grandchildren can be achallenge. I’ve got three: twoteenagers and a 9-year old. So Iwas happy to be reminded re-cently about library booklists inmyriad of categories. A visit tothe Sonoma County Libraryweb page will lead to some ex-cellent suggestions by agegroup and genre and readinglevel. From thesonomalibrary.org link, click on“Kids” or “Teens,” and preparefor a fun and interesting sam-pling of what is available.Joan Lowery Nixon wrote

more than a hundred books.Like this one, “The Kidnappingof Christina Lattimore,” most ofthem were mysteries directedtoward young readers. How-ever, the heroine of this fast-paced novel is no Nancy Drew.She is a feisty and modern 15-year old who is determined togo on a field trip to France withthe rest of her class despite herparents’ refusal to pay the tab.When her wealthy grandmotheralso says “no” to Christina’s de-mand, readers can expect com-plications to follow.Set in Houston, Texas, the

story unfolds with Christina asthe narrator, so we join her inthe 1970s. The book was firstpublished in 1979, and millen-nial readers may be bothered bysome time-warp factors. For ex-ample, Christina makes sure shehas quarters in her purse for thetelephone she plans to use if shecan find a gas station that hasone. She does not have a cellphone and makes no mention ofneeding one. How times havechanged!Then Christina is kidnapped,

and the real story begins. Re-member, the book is narratedfrom her point of view. Nixondoes a fine and believable jobof describing the girl’s disbeliefand fear about her situation.Her captors wear ski masks todisguise their faces, and thegeneral air of menace alongwith the threat of physical harm

seriously frightens her. How-ever, Nixon does not use thebloody images and strong lan-guage that are common in somebooks today.The kidnappers demand ran-

som money from Christina’sgrandmother, who is the matri-arch of the family and a leadingand powerful figure in Houstonsociety. She holds the purse strings of

the family fortune. Meanwhile,Christina begins to throw offterror and tries to determine ifthere is any chance for escape.When she learns that the ran-som will be paid, she is over-joyed. However, when police break

down the door of her prison andcome to her rescue, Christinalearns to her dismay that thestory is not over. Neither thepolice nor her family believesthat it was a real kidnapping.They think she planned thewhole thing to raise money forthe school trip. Now beginsChristina’s quest to prove herinnocence. She will not rest until she

finds the person who really wasthe mastermind behind the plot.The story moves along

briskly, never losing the voiceof its young heroine. Readersare unlikely to see the endingahead of time, which is a pri-mary requirement in classicmystery writing.

Jane Peleti

Sonoma State University Bi-ology Professor Sean Place isheaded to Antarctica after receiv-ing a $618,000 National ScienceFoundation grant to study howclimate change might affectspecies living in extreme coldenvironments.The molecular biologist is

specifically studying how tem-perature affects fish that haveevolved in sub-zero waters overmillions of years. Antarctic fish,he says, are often considered ex-tremely vulnerable to even smalltemperature changes. But onequestion his study asks is this:What might be the positive ef-fects of global temperature in-crease?Acclimating to stressful con-

ditions like extreme cold spendsenergy that could otherwise beutilized for growth and reproduc-tive effort. Warming water, saysPlace, could make some of afish’s internal processes, such asprotein folding, more efficient,freeing up critical energy forother uses.“It’s a bit controversial,” Place

said. “Most people don’t like tothink of global climate change ashaving any benefits. But weknow there will always be win-ners and losers with anychange.”But even if there may be some

small benefits to these or otherspecies, a rise in global sea sur-face temperatures can still turnout to be a net negative, he cau-tions. The same drivers of increased

ocean temperatures (increasedatmospheric CO2) are also driv-ing declines in ocean pH, be-cause one-third of the carbondioxide in the air is absorbed intothe oceans. This ocean acidifica-tion has already been blamed fordie-offs of coral, oysters and

other ocean creatures and maywell offset any positive gainsthese fish might see from tem-perature increases alone.Place is also researching the

assumption that, after millions ofyears in frigid waters, these fishhave completely lost the capacityto respond to a rapid increase intemperature (recent evidencesuggests this response may stillbe present in these fish to somedegree). To do this, he will testevidence of permanent disrup-tion of the species' heat shock re-sponse by looking for mutationsin the pathways that determinehow proteins are folded in theircells.This is important because in

addition to Antarctic fish, otherspecies have recently beenshown to have lost their heatshock response. If this proves common across

Antarctic species, it could mean

the negative effects of global cli-mate change may actually begreater than anticipated for theecosystem as a whole.Though he grew up in New

Mexico, this will be Place’s sixthtrip to Antarctica, and he was re-cently invited to give a key talkat the Scientific Committee onAntarctic Research meeting inMalaysia. He will spend two sea-sons in McMurdo Station, theNSF research center in Antarc-tica, and will be joined by bothgraduate students and undergrad-uate students on these expedi-tions.Despite the heavy dose of mo-

lecular biology associated withthis grant, some of his researchtechniques might sound more fa-miliar to ice fishing aficionados:To collect his subjects (emeraldrock cod), Place will drive outonto the ice, drill a hole and fishfor them.

There are professional advi-sors who help older adults de-clutter to avoid householdhazards. Home Instead Seniorcare offers resources to helpguide you to do some of this onyour own and we build partner-ships with those professionalswhen you need to bring one in.Call my office if you want anyof these resources mailed toyou.You enter your dad’s home

and can’t believe the stacks ofstuff that have accumulated onevery flat surface: piles ofnewspapers and mail every-where, the medicine cabinetoverflowing with 10 years’worth of hair spray (despite hisbeing bald), heaps of dirty laun-dry on the bed so there is noplace for him to sleep. Youwonder how it got this bad.A lifetime accumulation of

possessions combined with adaily influx of junk mail, billsand newspapers can quicklyoverwhelm seniors who may al-ready be struggling physically,mentally or emotionally.Experts say seniors are prone

to cluttering for a variety of rea-sons, including fear of loss,anxiety, depression, not know-ing how to get rid of posses-sions or even memoriesassociated with specific itemsthat hold no intrinsic value.“It’s sort of the elephant in

the room,” added Dr. CatherineRoster, a University of NewMexico clutter researcher.“People don’t want to acknowl-edge there is a problem, whichcreates an underlying anxiety,stress, guilt or embarrassmentthat can have a negative effecton their mental health and pro-ductivity. There are a lot of issues in-

cluding economics. When thereis general disorganization, peo-ple lose important documentsand can't find bills and thenmiss payments. So some seriousissues start affecting them. Allthe research shows that peopleare slow to recognize the prob-lem.”And for seniors, the risks of

living in clutter are many, fromslipping on loose papers to thethreat of fire to the health ef-fects of mold and mildew. Clut-ter can also interfere withfamily relationships and leaveadult children wondering if theonly inheritance awaiting themis a big mess.In order to identify potential

trouble, Home Instead SeniorCare alerts family caregivers towatch for the signs in a senior’shome that indicate clutter creepcould become a problem in-cluding:• Piles of mail and unpaid

bills.• Difficulty walking safely

through a home.• Frustration trying to organ-

ize.• Difficulty managing activi-

ties of daily living.• Expired food in the refriger-

ator.• Jammed closets and draw-

ers.• Compulsive shopping.• Difficulty deciding whether

to discard items.• A health episode such as a

stroke or dementia.• Loneliness.Family caregivers can be-

come just as overwhelmed asseniors. Spring is a great time for

family caregivers to help sen-iors declutter for their ownhealth and well-being. We sug-gest a three-step plan where thefamily caregiver brings threebins – one for the stuff the sen-ior wants to keep, one for dona-tions and the other for trash.Sometimes seniors just need alittle help. One Home InsteadCAREGiver helped her clientgo through a house full ofnewspapers and clipped the im-portant articles that he wantedto save, enabling him to throwaway the bulk of the clutter.That was a relief to both theaging adult we serve and hischildren. Spotting clutter zones:

Kitchen• Cabinets with unused

pots and pans: The problem is

a senior can fall trying to get tothem.• Freezer and refrigerator

with expired and old food: Asenior can suffer food poisoningor malnutrition.• Bills on the counter and

kitchen table: The problem isthere could be unpaid bills.

Bathroom• Expired medications in

the medicine cabinets and oldmake-up: The problem herecan be missed medications andaccidental overdosing as well asskin infections and irritations

from expired make-up.• Cluttered shelves: The

problem can be the inability tolocate necessities.• Using the bathtub to store

papers: Hygiene problems canarise.

Bedroom• Papers and magazines on

and under beds: This can cre-ate a fire hazard.• Too much clothing and

shoes in the closet: This canbring about confusion and dis-organization.

Stairways• Magazines and shoes on

the steps: The big issue here isa tripping hazard.

Almost everyone has experi-enced heartburn. About 25 mil-lion American adults sufferdaily from heartburn.It is that burning sensation

felt behind the breastbone andsometimes in the neck andthroat. Heartburn is caused bystomach acid refluxing – orsplashing upward – into theesophagus, the muscular tubethat connects the throat to thestomach. Occasional heartburnis nothing to be concernedabout. However, anyone whohas heartburn on a regular basisshould consult a physician.Constant exposure to stomachacid can irritate the lining of theesophagus, cause sinus infec-tions and erosion of the teethand gums. Serious heartburn isknown as gastro esophageal re-flux disease or GERD.The esophagus carries food

and liquid into the stomach. Atthe lower end of the esophaguswhere it enters the stomach,there is a strong muscular ringcalled the lower esophagealsphincter (LES). The LESshould remain tightly closed,except to allow food and liquidto pass into the stomach. Refluxoccurs when the LES is notworking properly.It may relax for periods of

time throughout the day andnight, or it may be constantlytoo weak to function effec-tively. This allows the stom-ach’s acid juices to flow intothe esophagus. How severe thedisease becomes depends onhow weakened the LES is, andthe amount and duration of acidrefluxed into the esophagus.GERD treatmentsTreatment for GERD is

aimed at reducing acid reflux.Initial treatment can involvechanges in lifestyle, such asavoiding eating anything withinthree hours before bedtime,stopping smoking, avoiding cer-tain foods and alcohol, andmaintaining a healthy weight.Lifestyle changes are often

all that is needed to correct mildforms of GERD. When GERDis moderate to severe, the pa-tient’s physician can prescribemedications. Some medicationsthat reduce stomach acid in-clude Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcidand Axid. Certain potent newerdrugs, such as Prilosec and Pre-vacid, can almost eliminatestomach acid entirely. Thesetwo drugs are most frequentlyused when GERD is severe.Other medications, such asReglan (generic: metoclo-pramide) tighten the LES.These may be especially usefulat night when reflux often oc-curs.In extreme cases, surgery can

be performed to treat and cor-rect GERD. Working togetherwith your physician, you candevelop a good medical pro-gram to successfully treatGERD. If you suspect youhave GERD, please contactyour physician. People often

suffer for years, when simpletreatment with medication orlifestyle changes can reduce oreliminate symptoms.GERD and dentistryDecay from acid erosion of

tooth enamel is one of the worstproblems from GERD. I havehad numerous dental patientswho have had severe dentaldecay directly related to GERD.Their constant regurgitationsbathe the teeth in acid, etchingaway the enamel, leading todecay. GERD patients oftenhave a history of difficult dentalvisits, often leading to dentalfear. Usually the GERD patientcannot lie back in the dentalchair without acid reflux dis-comfort. In many cases, theyhave a severe gag reflex, whichmakes dental x-rays difficultand mouth impression nearlyimpossible. Often GERD pa-tients are depressed and embar-rassed by their constant dentaldecay problems. This con-tributes to their dental phobia.Dental treatment for GERD patientsCertain dental procedures can

help the GERD patient. Impres-sions can be made much easierby using smaller side trays toreduce gagging. A digital pan-tographic radiograph allows fullmouth x-rays without puttingfilms in the mouth triggering agag response. It is also taken inthe upright position, so avoid-ing gastric reflux often found inthe reclined position. This pro-cedure also has the added bene-fit of reduced radiation,one-tenth as much as traditionalx-ray films.I have had great success

using conscience sedation onGERD patients. Sedation pre-vents the gag response in pa-tients and eliminates their fearwhile allowing long dental ap-pointments. Conscience seda-tion, often called sleepdentistry, is an extremely safeprocedure where the patient istotally relaxed in a sleep-likestate, but is responsive whenneeded to open and close theirmouth. The night before the appoint-

ment, the patient takes a pill tohelp them have a restful nightsleep. An hour before their ap-pointment, they take anotherpill, and then a companionbrings them to the office. Vitalsigns are monitored and moremedication is given in the officeas needed. The next day theyhave little or no memory of thevisit.Three years ago I treated a

young lady with an extreme gagreflex along with an acid refluxcondition that made her pastdental treatments difficult anduncomfortable. At the initial ap-pointment, my staff took a digi-tal pantographic radiographwithout a problem. We tooktime with her and determinedher treatment and comfortneeds. With conscious sedation

she was treated comfortablywhile having an extraction,bone grafting and a dental im-plant. She was able to lie backfarther than usual in a dentalchair without acid reflux andhave a standard x-ray takenwithout a gag reflex. Treatmentwas a success and should last along time with constant moni-toring. She felt great the nextday with no memory of thetreatment.Preventable procedures for GERD patientsOne of the greatest chal-

lenges with GERD patients ispreventing future tooth erosionand decay. Brushing with cer-tain toothpastes can trigger thegag response and the accompa-nying acid reflux. So toothbrushing is often ineffective,leading to dental plaque anddecay. Often the medications toreduce GERD cause reducedsalivary flow, a condition calleddry mouth. Saliva is designedto help clean the teeth, washaway bacterial plaque and fighttooth decay. A number of pa-tients say that sucking on breathmints, candies, or lozengessoothes burning in the mouth.Sucking on lozenges can alsostimulate saliva production,which helps to fight dry mouth.Beware of mints or suckingcandies that contain sugar, asthey will contribute to increaseddecay.The GERD patient needs to

be extra diligent with brushing,flossing and rinsing, but toooften this triggers the gag andacid reflux response. Contin-ual sipping of water can help toreduce dry mouth. Frequentrinsing with water (or ideally, afluoride rinse if it doesn’t trig-ger reflux response) is helpfulfor washing the teeth. Also,frequent brushing, even withjust plain water, is extremelyhelpful for removing acid andplaque from the teeth. Findingfluoride toothpaste that doesn’ttrigger acid reflux is ideal; usu-ally non-foaming toothpaste isbest. Frequent professional den-tal examinations and cleaningare vital for health.If you have GERD, working

with your physician and dentistcan give you a much improvedhealth and quality of life. Ifyou have had difficulty withdental treatment in the past andparticularly if you need exten-sive dental treatment, I wouldhighly recommend conscioussedation dentistry.Enjoy life and keep smiling!George Malkemus has a

The Voice

By Irene HilsendagerHere’s a look back on Rohn-

ert Park becoming a city:On Aug. 21, 1962, residents

of Rohnert Park voted to be-come Sonoma County’s seventhcity, the county’s first new citysince 1905 and California’s firstmaster-planned city. It was a ju-bilant day not only for PaulGolis, the father of RohnertPark, who along with his part-ner Maurice Fredericks, had

been working to build theirmaster-planned communitysince July 5, 1955, but also forthe many citizens who workedtirelessly for months to ensure asuccessful election.Early in 1962, a committee

was formed to work for incor-poration with Tom Bolduc andDave Doing serving as chair-men. Enthusiasm grew and onelection day out of the 20 can-didates running for city council-man, the five elected were:Peter M. Callinan, JackBuchanan, Vernon P. Smith andDale Foust, all very dedicatedresidents who had been servingadmirably on the CommunityServices District, and KennethC. Bell, who was against incor-poration and was quoted as say-ing the area is not ready for it.Upon being sworn into of-

fice, the five elected, Callinanwas to serve as the city’s firstmayor.

Previously, a bitterly foughtincorporation election on April12, 1960 failed to pass, leavingthose who believed in RohnertPark more determined than everto build a successful city. Bylaw, the area would have to waitfor two more years before an-other election could be held.There were detractors. Most

of the residents of Cotati andRohnert Park loved their owncommunity and respected thediverse style of the other. How-ever, there were a small handfulof people from Cotati who triedunsuccessfully to stop RohnertPark from incorporating by it-self. They quietly invited a fewselect people to meet at a pri-vate Cotati residence with in-tention, some believed, to filefor the incorporation of theareas of Cotati and Rohnertcombined before Rohnert Parkcould again file for incorpora-tion. When questioned by an

uninvited reporter if the inten-tion of the meeting was to stopRohnert Park from incorporat-ing by itself or merely to studythe feasibility of joint incorpo-ration, the tenor of the meetingquickly turned to the latter.Two feasibility studies fol-

lowed. The first for joint incor-poration of the cities and thesecond for Rohnert Park by it-self. The rest is history. Rohnert

Park became a city in 1962 anda year later Cotati did the verysame and we all know that bothwonderful cities have their ownunique qualities.On Saturday, the efforts of

Fredericks and Golis will behonored as Rohnert Park cele-brates Founders Day at theRohnert Park Community Cen-ter, located at 5401 SnyderLane.

SnyderLane and Copeland CreekBridge were widened and land-scaped medians were added toseparate traffic on Snyder Lane.

“This area has always hadheavy pedestrian and motor traf-fic and updating it to make it safefor both residents and visitorshas long been a priority of theCity,” said Art da Rosa, DeputyCity Engineer and project man-ager.Final site improvements will

include installing flashing bea-cons at crosswalks to improveaccess to schools and walkingpaths along with renovating ac-cess ramps around the SpreckelsPerforming Arts Center. “We greatly appreciate the co-

operation and patience from ourcommunity members, especiallythe residents and businessesalong Snyder Lane, as well as theschool district, during the time ofconstruction,” said City EngineerMary Grace Pawson.

The Roth IRA changed thewhole retirement savings per-spective. Since its introduction,it has become a fixture inmany retirement planningstrategies.

The key argument for goingRoth can be summed up in a

sentence: Paying taxes on re-tirement contributions today isbetter than paying taxes on re-tirement savings tomorrow.Here is a closer look at thetrade-off you make when youopen and contribute to a RothIRA – a trade-off many saversare happy to make.• You contribute after-tax

dollars: You have already paidfederal income tax on the dol-lars going into the account. But,in exchange for paying taxes onyour retirement savings contri-butions today, you could poten-tially realize great benefitstomorrow.• You position the money

for tax-deferred growth: RothIRA earnings aren’t taxed asthey grow and compound. If,say, your account grows 6 per-cent a year, that growth will beeven greater when you factor incompounding. The earlier inlife that you open a Roth IRA,the greater compounding poten-tial you have.• You can arrange tax-free

retirement income: Roth IRAearnings can be withdrawn tax-free as long as you are age 59½or older and have owned theIRA for at least five tax years.The IRS calls such tax-freewithdrawals qualified distribu-tions. They may be made to youduring your lifetime or to a ben-eficiary after you die. (If youhappen to die before your RothIRA meets the 5-year rule, your

beneficiary will see the RothIRA earnings taxed until it ismet.)

If you withdraw money froma Roth IRA before you reachage 59½ or haven’t owned theIRA for five tax years, that is anonqualified distribution. Inthis circumstance, you can stillwithdraw an amount equivalentto your total IRA contributionsto that point, tax-free andpenalty-free. If you withdrawmore than that amount, though,the rest of the withdrawal maybe fully taxable and subject to a10% IRS early withdrawalpenalty as well.• Withdrawals don’t affect

taxation of Social Securitybenefits: If your total taxableincome exceeds a certainthreshold – $25,000 for singlefilers, $32,000 for joint filers –then your Social Security bene-fits may be taxed. An RMDfrom a traditional IRA repre-sents taxable income, whichmay push retirees over thethreshold – but a qualified dis-tribution from a Roth IRA isn’ttaxable income, and doesn’tcount toward it.• How much can you con-

tribute to a Roth IRA annu-

ally? The 2016 contributionlimit is $5,500, with an addi-tional $1,000 “catch-up” contri-bution allowed for those 50 andolder. (The annual contributionlimit is adjusted periodically forinflation.) You can keep makingannual Roth IRA contributionsall your life. You can’t make an-nual contributions to a tradi-tional IRA once you reach age70½.• Does a Roth IRA have any

drawbacks? Actually, yes.One, you will generally be hitwith a 10 percent penalty by theIRS if you withdraw Roth IRAfunds before age 59½ or youhaven’t owned the IRA for atleast five years. (This is in addi-tion to the regular income taxyou will pay on funds with-drawn prior to age 59½, ofcourse.) Two, you can’t deductRoth IRA contributions on your1040 form as you can do withcontributions to a traditionalIRA or the typical workplaceretirement plan. Three, youmight not be able to contributeto a Roth IRA as a consequenceof your filing status and in-come; if you earn a great dealof money, you may be able tomake only a partial contributionor none at all.

A chat with the financial pro-fessional you know and trustwill help you evaluate whetheror not a Roth IRA is right foryou given your particular taxsituation and retirement hori-zon.Ken Weise, an LPL Financial

Advisor, provided this article.He can be reached at (707)584-6690. Securities offeredthrough LPL Financial. Mem-ber FINRA/SIPC. The opinionsof this material are for informa-tion purposes only.

FHA loans and conventionalloans remain the most popularfinancing type for today’s mort-gage borrowers. Let’s exploresome ways to determine whichprogram makes the most finan-cial sense for you.

FHA loans are insured by theFederal Housing Administra-tion. The program contains twoforms of mortgage insurance;an upfront mortgage insurancepremium calculated at 1.75 per-cent of the loan amount amonthly premium based onbased on .8 percent of the loanamount. These forms of mort-gage insurance make the FHApricey, however the program isvery flexible. FHA allows:

• New mortgage post shortsale or foreclosure is a threeyear wait time.

•New mortgage post Chapter7 bankruptcy is a three yearwaiting time.

• Payment to income ratios ashigh as 55 percent.

• Co-signors are permitted.• Can finance up to 97 per-

cent loan to value paying off afirst and a second loan underrate and term avoiding cash out.Cashing out is a lender termthat refers to the structure of amortgage where you’re receiv-ing funds to pay off debt be-

yond what you owe. It is usu-ally subject to more restrictiveguidelines, not the case withFHA.

• FHA loans contain very at-tractive interest rates as low as3.25 percent on a 30 year fixedrate mortgage.• When it makes sense: The

program makes sense when youhave little equity to work withor a unique financial situation.You’ll need at least a 3.5 per-cent down payment to purchasea home using an FHA Loan.The program will go as high asthe maximum county loan limitin the area in which you arelooking. In Sonoma County, forexample, a single-family homemeans a loan size all the way to$554,300. If your credit score isanything under 680 an FHAloan generally is optimal.

Conventional loans are loansbought and sold by Fannie Maeand Freddie Mac and representthe lion’s share of the mortgagemarket. These loans, while themost popular, also containtighter qualifying guidelinesthan FHA. Conventional loansinclude:

• Can use with no mortgageinsurance with just 10 percentdown.

• New mortgage post shortforeclosure is a seven year wait

time, four years post short saleand four years post Chapter 7bankruptcy.

• Offer the lowest possiblepayments.• When it makes sense: a

credit score over 680 and a 5percent down payment shouldthe bare minimum to exploreworking with a conventionalloan. Conventional loans alsoare stricter on the two-yearsame field history for employ-ment and income and have ahard payment to income ratiorequirement at a max of 45 per-cent.

Which loan program is mostsuitable for me?

If your credit score is 680 orhigher, then a conventional loanwould make more sense. If yourcredit score is under 680, anFHA loan would be more ap-propriate.

If you’re financial picturecomes with a story, your sce-nario could go either way, espe-cially if it has anything to dowith divorce or a previousderogatory credit event such asa foreclosure, then FHA wouldbe the route.

If you have a big down pay-ment, then conventional is yourvehicle. If you have a big downpayment and a so-so creditscore under 680, then conven-tional could be a good vehicle,but your interest rate will behigher due to credit score.

If you don’t have a big downpayment but have a great creditscore, FHA primarily would beyour vehicle, although a 5 per-cent conventional loan wouldbe a solid choice as well.

The key is to understand thecharacteristics of both programsand how they relate to your fi-nancial picture. Right out of thegate you might be a good candi-date for either program. Select-ing the right loan is a functionof choosing the one that is bestin alignment with your paymentand cash flow expectations.Scott Sheldon is a local mort-

SSU NewsCenterSonoma State University will not pursue the

construction of a proposed 10,000-seat outdoorpavilion at the Green Music Center and Weill Hallfacilities, and instead will focus efforts on enhanc-ing graduation rates, the student experience andacademic programs.

“After reviewing the project with my new ad-ministrative team, and consulting with key stake-holders we’ve agreed that utilizing our alreadyexisting facilities at the Green Music Center, inlieu of adding an additional facility, would bestserve our students, our academic mission and thesurrounding communities,” said first-year SSUPresident Judy K. Sakaki.

The Green Music Center currently features out-door seating for select concerts at Weill Hall +Lawn.

The rear wall of the 1,400-seat Weill Hall opensto seat an additional 4,000 on the tiered WeillLawn and Commons, with a large LED screen andfull sound system to enhance the experience. The

pavilion was planned for the east side of the GreenMusic Center's Weill Hall.

“It is our desire to take advantage of the unique-ness of the experience that Weill Hall + Lawn pro-vides, and the flexibility in terms of programmingthat is available with a venue of its size and con-figuration,” said Zarin Mehta, executive directorof the Green Music Center.

The indoor/outdoor Summer 2016 MastercardPerformance Series at Weill Hall + Lawn this yearincluded performances by the Santa Rosa Sym-phony; comedians Trevor Noah and Gabriel“Fluffy” Iglesias; Melissa Etheridge; the AvettBrothers; Los Tigres del Norte; and many others.

Over the past five years, the Green Music Cen-ter has established itself as a preeminent perform-ing arts venue, attracting artists of the highestcaliber such as Wynton Marsalis, Alison Kraus,Yo-Yo Ma, Lang Lang, Renee Fleming, KevinSpacey and Steve Martin, to name a few. It has be-come a central focal point for the arts in the greaterSan Francisco Bay Area.

By Chris ChambersI have struggled with

whether or not a “chain” shouldbe included in my reviews inlight of the fact that The Com-munity Voice represents thelocal community. As I went through the pros

and cons, I took into accountthat the distinction is sometimesconfusing. Is Mary’s a chain(they have 10 or so locations)and even what about Super-burger or Mike’s as they eachhave more than one location?The deciding “vote” came as Ithought about the number oflocal people employed by OliveGarden and the number of localpeople who choose to eat there.I have not exhausted the truly

“local” restaurants and willcontinue to include them as themainstay. This change does notmean you can expect a reviewof Jack-in-the-Box.I have not been an Olive Gar-

den fan and for a long time did-n’t even consider going there.But with a couple of recentlunch visits brought on by adining partner suggesting it, Ihave to say it is a great valuewith very diverse and good tast-ing offerings.When you have “complete”

lunch offerings starting at $6.99one has to at least give the op-tion some consideration. Thenewest offering is their classicduo with unlimited soup/saladand then a sandwich (such as

the Italian meatball breadsticksandwich with fries) or a smallpasta dish or flatbreads withtoppings. I had a hard time finishing all

of the fries and the last meat-ball. And that was one of the$6.99 offerings. I can hardlybeat that price with a Big Macmeal at McDonalds.The soup and salad, both “all

you can eat,” is an amazingvalue at $8.99. There are usu-ally four soups to choose fromand if you wish for a secondbowl of soup it can be differentfrom your first choice.The salads are pretty much

your standard garden salad butthe lettuce is crisp and the otheringredients are sufficient to

make it stand out. It’s served ina large sized bowl and since it’sunlimited you can have it re-filled. For those not on a dollar

budget or calorie budget theydo offer standalone entrees such as Shrimp Scampi,

Chicken Picatta, or GarlicRosemary Chicken as exam-ples. These range in price fromaround $12 up to $18.99. Onenice feature is that each of theitems has a calorie count associ-ated with it so for those of youwho count calories you can fig-ure out your total with ease. The Olive Garden also offers

a special luncheon item of cre-ating your own pasta bowl with6 different types of pasta (riga-toni, cavatappi, spaghetti, angelhair, whole wheat linguine andgluten-free rotini) and fivetypes of sauces (traditionalmarinara, five-cheese marinara,traditional meat sauce, Asiagogarlic Alfredo, garlic whitewine.) Perhaps they should bethe “have it your way restau-rant?”The service has been prompt

and acceptable and it’s easy toget in and out in less than 45minutes and potentially in halfan hour. The Olive Garden is open

every day from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.and is located at 6430 RedwoodDr., in Rohnert Park. Call (707)586-3607 for more information.

‘Ibleto’Continued from page 1His life was in danger on numer-ous occasions, as he engaged inactions that slowed and frus-trated the German army.Ibleto once spent eight days

hiding in a hole with no food orwater while enemy troopscamped close by. He spoke no English when he

came to the United States, buthe took whatever work he couldfind. He eventually opened abutcher shop, a Christmas treelot and a limousine service. Fi-nally, in the early 1970s, heopened Ibleto’s SpaghettiPalace at the Sonoma CountyFairgrounds. Since then, he’sbeen pleasing many palates inSonoma County with his din-ners featuring pesto and po-lenta. He has donated his time,

food and money to numerouscharitable causes in SonomaCounty. He lives in Cotati andmarvels at this area’s growth.“I come here 67 years ago

and in Cotati and Rohnert Park,there was nothing here…ab-solutely nothing, just a field fullof seeds,” he said. He currently owns a restau-

rant in Rohnert Park, Art’sPlace, on Rohnert Park Ex-pressway and doesn’t appear towant to slow down.“I’m 90 and will shoot for

100…it’s just a number and itdoesn’t bother me at all,” Ibletosaid. “I still work seven days aweek. I have to work. Now,after my birthday they want meto stop working.”Not working simply is not

Ibleto’s nature, so he made acompromise with friends andfamily.“Now, I start 6 in morning

and stop 6 at night,” Ibletoquipped.

Olive Garden...locals do go thereJuggling while rummaging

Bernard Omiple shows his daughter, Sophia, 10, how to juggle balls that he found while shopping at the Rancho Cotate High Schoolmarching band’s annual rummage sale on Sept. 24 on the RCHS campus. This is one of the band’s fundraisers for the season.
