By Irene HilsendagerAfter the terrible firestorm in

Oct. of 2017, houses, apartmentsand even motor homes are at apremium. After watching agranny unit being built down thestreet, the curiosity of restric-tions came to mind. The City of Cotati has no re-

strictions. Many homeownersare looking to make good use ofthe unused space near the pri-mary dwelling. Many propertiesin Cotati are zoned to add grannyflats in backyard spaces whichprovides homeowners to have achance to become a micro realestate developer.Cotati has six requirements for

building a granny flat.Granny flat: technically re-

ferred to as an AccessoryDwelling unit or ADU.No minimum lot size is re-

quired to develop an ADU, otherthan required by the underlyingzoning district by Ca. state stan-dards.For detached ADUs, the total

floor area of the unit shall not beover 1,200 square feet. No max-imum floor area for conversionsor existing space is established.The minimum floor area for anADU is 150 square feet again byCa. state standards and the max-imum floor area is 500 squarefeet.Properties located within 0.5

miles walking distance from apublic transportation are exemptfrom additional parking require-

ment. (state mandated).Specific design styles and re-

strictions are not specified understate standards.Under state law, the city must

approve or deny any permit ap-plication in 120 days or less.The timeline to finish a granny

flat design, permit and new con-struction or remodel project istypically more than 12 months.Again go to the City of Cotati,check with the city’s zoning de-partment and learn more aboutthe requirements in Cotati.Rohnert Park has more restric-

tions. ADUs, also called second-ary dwelling units, in-lawapartments or granny units, arean important housing resource

By Joshua Farestveit-MooreConstruction on Rohnert Park’s Westside Fire Station is proceed-

ing on schedule, according to an update by staff at the city’s lastcouncil meeting on the evening of Tues., June 11th. Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety (RPDPS) has long

lacked a fire station west of Highway 101 and for most of its historyit didn’t really need one. Originally, the territory west of the highwaywas slated for low-density industrial with some light commercialtossed in. But times change and over the past couple decades thecity’s council has taken a more accepting outlook towards new res-idential developments. Of course, more people means more services, and when Rohnert

Park approved its Twenty Year General Plan back at the turn of themillennium, they slated a bit of property along Labath Ave. and theHinebaugh Creek as a potential site for the city’s third fire station.Nothing happened for a while, but in 2017 the city finally decidedto pull the trigger. They appropriated $5.6 million and sent the proj-ect out for public bid. “It looks after the future. With all the growth out there how do

By Stephanie DerammelaereBoth the Cotati and Rohnert

Park farmers’ markets kicked offlast week, Rohnert Park celebrat-ing its 10th year anniversary andCotati revamping their market tobring in more vendors and en-gage the community. Much morethan just a place to pick up someproduce, both markets aim tomake a family’s weekly trip tothe market a fun activity thatpleases both young and old alike,with music, games, activities andgreat food. A major addition to the Cotati

farmers’ market this year is thepartnership with Farmster, theorganization managing theVeronda-Falletti Ranch in Cotati. “Farmster is really excited to

be a part of the community andjoin up with the farmers’ mar-ket,” says Kelly Smith, Execu-tive Director of AgriculturalCommunity Events Farmers’Markets, which manages boththe Cotati and Rohnert Parkfarmers’ markets. “They plan onbringing their farm goods includ-

ing eggs, potentially meat fromsome of the animals and vegeta-bles they’re planning on growingfor the market.”Farmster also plans on intro-

ducing fun games for all agesthat will vary from week to weeksuch as corn hole and squashbowling.Along with the old favorites

such as vegetables from OrtizFamily Farm and fruit fromNeufeld Farms, there are also beseveral new vendors such asWaxing Moon offering microgreens from Sebastopol andChay’s Organic Farm offeringstrawberries and vegetables. Thisyear there are also several newhot food vendors such as Moun-tain Mike’s pizza and Cotati-based Great Savor, offeringcomfort food that is fresh andsourced locally. Some new pack-aged food item vendors includeFlavor Fiesta offering Boba teas,Juice House Company sellingdetoxifying juices and RainyDay Chocolates to satisfy everysweet tooth.

“The Cotati Chamber of Com-merce will sell beer and wineand they’ll also have a rotatingbusiness booth for local busi-nesses who are members of thechamber,” says Smith. “It’s agreat way for businesses to en-gage in the community and alsobe a part of the farmers marketwithout the full season commit-ment.”To ensure that all ages of fam-

ily members are engaged, theCotati market will again haveVictoria’s Fashion Stables offer-ing pony rides and a petting zooand a new vendor, Party Jumps,will offer jumpy houses. “It’s great because the kids

love it and it’s a great way for theparents to have a moment to lookaround the market while stillbeing able to see their child,”says Smith. “You can have a mo-ment to visit the booths and havean adult conversation while yourkids are having fun in the jumpyhouse. It’s a win-win for the fam-ilies.”

Farmers’ markets kick off

There was a nice turnout for the opening night of the Cotati Farmers’ Market in La Plaza Park lastThursday. People ate, drank, listened to live music, bought produce, and took advantage of free chairmassages. Children played games and enjoyed two jump houses, pony rides, hanging out with chickensand a bunny along the playground equipment that is part of the park.

Granny units in local areaBy Lanny LoweryAll signs pointed to the announcement of a new superintendent

for Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District to happen at theJune 11 trustee meeting. While this did not occur, causing muchspeculation in the community, the process searching for the new su-perintendent, allows for more time to ensure that the new leader fitsthe district’s needs.The agenda for the “Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees”

listed a most dramatic moment. Item 5A lifts the curtain a fewinches from the floor: “Approval of the Employment Agreementfor District Superintendent.” The board meeting should have beencrowded with principals, teachers and community members antici-pating the introduction of the school district’s next leader. In reality,on that 100+ degree June evening, more PG&E employees than ed-ucators populated the board meeting room, a strong suggestion thatsomething was amiss.The agenda, released Fri., June 7, gave some clues as it told about

a trip made by three board members to Temecula Valley UnifiedSchool District on May 16. From that point it was not difficult todetermine whom this prospective superintendent was. A few hours’computer search reading news articles told the story. A couple ofphone calls to Temecula Valley and to other educational contacts

New fire station getsfinal direction

By Joshua Farestveit-MooreIt was nothing but smiles and applause as the Cotati City Council

appointed its newest member to the city’s planning commission atits Tues., June 11 meeting. Her name’s Brittany Mckanny and she’s new to town, relatively

speaking. It’s only been a year and a half since Mckanny, her hus-band and their seven-month old infant moved to the city from SantaRosa, but already she’s certain that Cotati is where she wants to putdown roots, as it were. Why? Well, the reason is quite simple: she likes the small town

feel. “We knew about Cotati but never really understood the unique-

ness of the community. Since we’ve been here we’ve fallen in love.It’s a wonderful place that we are absolutely committed to raisingour son in,” Mckanny said. “The walkability, the people, the factthat my neighbors say hello—we feel like we’re a part of this place.It’s incredible.”It all started a couple weeks back when Mckanny attended a plan-

ning commission meeting with an eye towards getting more in-volved in her community. Right time right place, because it was

‘Planning Commision’ see page 2

Cotati fills PlanningCommission

‘Planning Commision’from page 1there that Mckanny met Coun-cilmember Landman. Landmanjust so happened to be scoutingfor a replacement for the plan-ning commission after its previ-ous member, Ben Ford, resigneddue to complications in his per-sonal life. Mckanny and Landman

spoke, and Landman must haveliked the cut of her jib becausehe put her name forward asFord’s replacement. Her nomi-nation sailed through the coun-cil with unanimous approval. “There can be a lot of value

in bringing in a new face, a newenergy. A fresh viewpoint,”Landman said. “I think it’sgood to bring in someone who’sgot a family and helps give a

different look on what we needfor the community.”For her day job, Mckanny

works with her husband over atPacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)as a program manager over ingas operations. It’s actuallywhere they met and Mckannyfeels that she couldn’t haveasked for a more family-orientedcompany. They’ve worked withher during the transition to Cotatiand have helped get her situated. When asked whether her son,

Bo Murphy, would be followingin his parent’s footsteps, sheclaimed he was seven monthsold and still considering his op-tions. “I’m trying not to pressure

him into doing one thing or an-other. I’m going to let him seewhere his talents take him,”

Mckanny said. Mckanny knows that she’s

new to Cotati. It’s a flaw that shehopes to turn into a strength byproviding a fresh, outside per-spective for a city and a commis-sion that’s composed almostentirely of long term residents.Still, despite her eagerness todive into the job, she’s wellaware that experience has itsplace too. She says that her firstpriority upon taking office willbe to listen and learn, to betterknow the community and figureout how they do things. And Mckanny will have her

chance. Her first planning com-mission meeting is scheduled forJuly 1st at the Cotati City Hall.Anyone interested in meeting thenew commission member shouldswing by and say hello.

‘Fire Station’ from page 1you provide the servicesneeded?” RPDPS Chief Timo-thy Mattos said. “Traffic is aninteresting subject. Sometimesgetting to the west side istough. Right now we do coverthe west side with our two sta-tions, but this will certainlyprovide us with better re-sponse times to the west as its

expanding.”Over the years the price has

gone up. As of Tues., RohnertPark staff believes the full cost ofthe project will come to $7.7 mil-lion. This increase has less to dowith the project’s expansion andmore to do with the station’s ar-chitect putting together a clearerestimate. The price tag demands quite a

hefty chunk of change, but resi-

dents of the city shouldn’t feeltoo much of a pinch. Only $2.1million will draw from the city’sPublic Fee’s Program. The restwill come from a combination ofthe Federated Indians of GratonRancheria, $3.5 million, andRohnert Park’s Casino Reserve,$2 million. So with most of the money

coming from someplace else, thecouncil currently has no plans tolevy further fees upon the city. Rohnert Park to field a full

engine out of the facility, whichmeans three men on round theclock call. At minimum thatmeans nine to twelve new fire-fighters. Finding that muchfresh blood for any public safetydepartment can be difficult, butMattos claims that the RPDPShas already laid the groundworkand should be capable of fillingthe station easily upon its com-pletion. “The city has a very strong

human resources departmentwith a very aggressive hiringprogram,” Mattos said. “Just be-fore I got here we had six in the[SRJC Fire Academy]. They’venow graduated and are in fieldtraining. We put five additionaltrainees in April and we’reabout to put two in July. That’sall based on the timing of theWestside Fire station.”Now that Rohnert Park has

its budget and plans secured onthe Westside Station it will sendthe project out to bid. Then itwill bounce back to the cityPlanning Commission, and if allgoes as planned, the city willbreak ground on the WestsideFire station in the spring of2020.

‘Farmers’ from page 1Cotati farmers’ market’s open-

ing day June 6 was kicked offwith music by Un Amour Band,and the music line-up continuesevery Thurs. through Aug. 29with a variety of great local

bands. Rohnert Park’s market, held

every Fri. from 5 to 7:30 p.m.,has also consistently grown overthe last ten years since it started.Along with bands, food and pro-duce vendors, other booths willfeature non-profits such as theRohnert Park Animal Shelterthat will be bringing adoptablepets once a month. Museum-on-the-Go will have craft activitiesfor kids and “The Fun Zone”will represent various local fam-ily friendly businesses such asFundemonium, Rebounderz,Cal Skate and Double Decker

Lanes.“That’s the great thing about

the farmers’ markets – both ofthem,” says Smith. “If you’re afamily and you’re looking tohave some fun, you don’t have tospend an arm and a leg to bringyour kids out. It’s a great com-munity place for people to cometogether and have an inexpensivemeal and hang out with friendsand family and watch free music.We’re not only honoring ourfarmers and supporting our localbusinesses, it’s also a place tosupport our community.”

‘Granny’ from page 1for communities in the area. The City of Rohnert Park has

updated their ordinances twiceover the past two years primarilyin response to a state law thatpassed in Sept. 2016 requiringcities to loosen requirementsaround building ADUs. Thesechanges made it more stream-lined for people to build an ADUon their property.The Rohnert park Municipal

Code currently allows seconddwelling units (or Accessorydwelling units) in single familyzoning districts with require-ments related to minimum lotsize, square footage limits, addi-tional parking, owner occupancyand other provisions. The newstate law limits the city’s abilityto enforce many of the current

provisions in Section17.07.020.X ADUs off-streetparking cannot be required forunits contained within the exist-ing space of a single family resi-dence or accessory structure ormeeting any of the following cri-teria as required by state law.The unit is within one-half

mile of public transit.The unit is within a designated

historic district.The unit is entirely within the

principal residence and results inno net increase in habitable floorarea on the property.The unit is in an area where

on-street permit parking is re-quired, but such permits are notavailable to the tenant.The unit is within one block of

a car-share vehicle.The elimination of the require-

ment that the property owner

maintain residence in the pri-mary unit, and the increase in theallowable square footage of theADU shall not exceed 50 percentof the existing living area andwith a maximum increase infloor area of 1,200 square feet; atotal area of floor-space for a de-tached ADU shall not exceed1,200 square feet. Until Jan., theRPMC limited second units to700 square feet. There are currently eight

ADUs in process of being ap-proved or constructed in the city.As suggested before, always

contact the City of Rohnert Parkand the city’s zoning departmentto learn more about the require-ments of Rohnert Park.Thank you to the cities of Co-

tati and Rohnert Park for their in-formation.

By Irene HilsendagerElizabeth Van Nuys has magic

hands. Her hands seem to have amind of their own. Listening toher interesting story was an eyeopening experience. She saysshe only makes bowls but whiletelling about her bowls, old

newspapers, shoe polish andglue came into the story. In the early 90s, Elizabeth

took a class from Suzanne John-son in Petaluma and it was an“interest” class. Whatever suitedyour fancy. She tried to drawwith charcoal, colored pencils,water colors and didn’t love anyof it. She even tried working orplaying with clay what shethought was an ashtray. Her in-structor told her it looked like ahorse, so how could Elizabethscrew up a little ashtray? She was an instructor, for over

thirty years, first as a classroomteacher and later as an adminis-trator. She would cut manythings for the classroom and hersilhouettes always resembledsomething other than what shehad in mind. But then she startedmaking papier-mâché objectsand it has been her passion eversince. Van Nuys says, “Regardless of

how many bowls I make, no twoare ever alike.” Showing hersamples from start to finish wasa rare treat. How someone couldmake a bowl that looks as if it isa beaten copper or brass bowl, isway beyond my comprehension. Elizabeth is married to David

Van Nuys, has four children anda very proud grandmother of six.Kira Van Nuys-Martin lives inCotati with her husband andthree children, Jonathan VanNuys lives in San Francisco,Matthew Van Nuys lives in NewYork City with his wife and onechild and Christopher Van Nuys,a recent graduate of the EmpireLaw School, lives in Cotati withhis wife and two children.Now for a little lesson in mak-

ing Elizabeth’s bowls. She takes

a form, be it an old vase or what-ever, cuts strips of newspapersand puts on a couple of layerswith glue to begin a slow task.This is to be left to dry for a longperiod of time. She makes sureeach layer is dry before she pro-ceeds so that mold will not begin

to grow. After the drying periodshe again puts on layers and be-gins to shape it or as she puts it;I mold with my hands. After shefeels it is strong and dry enoughshe will gesso it white and there-after, she will sometimes useshoe polish to stain it. One exam-ple included shoe polish, jute, ajar ring for the bottom, coffee fil-ters and the many, many layersof news print. This is an inexpen-sive material and doesn’t take

too much thought but is verymeditative.The Chinese are thought to

have invented paper at the startof the second century and fromthis they developed papier-mâché and plasterboard. Thefirst people to start using papier-

mâché as a commercial mediumwere the French at about themiddle of the seventeenth cen-tury. In Europe papier-mâché be-came a preferred method amongartisans to make furnishings,serving dishes, pianos, knobsand even horse-drawn carriages.The ancient Egyptians wereknown to have made coffins anddeath masks out of a primitiveform of papier-mâché layers ofpapyrus or linen covered withplaster.Elizabeth says there are

Thirteen reasons tofold American flag

By Mickey ZeldesI rescued a dog today. Not on the job, which you would expect,

but in my neighborhood off hours. It wasn’t a life-saving or cliff-hanging rescue. I just returned a stray pup home. It took less thanfive minutes but it was satisfying. And this story isn’t to pat my-self on the back but to show how many pieces had to be in placefor this to happen.

I was out for my power walk (sans my own dog since he can’tkeep up anymore now that he’s a tripod) and headed to the paththat runs along a park across from my neighborhood. Lots of peo-ple bike, jog or walk that path and many have dogs. I saw a tandog running loose on the neighborhood side and a woman walkingacross the street to her car. I often see rude dog owners who allowtheir dog to run loose (even though it’s a leash only area) and payno attention to what their dog is doing that I was not surprisedwhen she just got in her car and looked at her phone. So I askedher “is that your dog?” Surprisingly she responded “no, but Ithink it came out of that yard.”

Sure enough the dog was standing by a fence with a loose boardand a white dog was poking his head out. It was as if the tan dogwas encouraging her friend to join her in her escape. Would havebeen a cute video if I had thought of it! Seeing the problem Iwalked over towards the dog who turned to me and wagged hertail and then sat submissively as I approached. That’s the firstpiece in place. The dog wasn’t fearful, didn’t play “catch me” andwas actually very friendly.

The second piece was that she had on a collar with an ID tag.Clearly written was her name “Kiwi,” her address and a phonenumber. So helpful!! Microchips are fabulous and a necessitybut they don’t help a good Samaritan out on the street. Anyways,it turns out that the house with the loose board was her home andI went up to the porch to see if anyone was home. That’s the nextpiece that worked. A gentleman opened the door and was appro-priately surprised to see his dog sitting on the porch with me.How often do we not get involved because you never know thereaction you might get from the other person? There are manyangry people out there quick to assume the worse and accuse you,or some mysterious other person, of trying to steal their dog andpurposely breaking the fence, etc.

So backing up, I guess the first piece was that I was willing toget involved. The other woman knew the dog was loose and eventhought she knew which house the dog came from but she justgot in her car and left. It’s true a lot of irresponsible dog parentsjust open the door and allow their dogs to roam free, especially ifthey are near a field or park and assume they will come safelyhome when they are ready. No need to consider the havoc aloose dog can create for others! It also raises the question ofwhat you would do if no one was home. Do you put the dog inthe yard and try to secure it with a rock or something? Do you

call animal control and wait for an officer to respond (do you havethe time to do that?) Do you take the dog home and call the num-ber and maybe hold onto the dog until the owner comes homefrom work? Or do you think, “well I tried” and leave the dogloose? Getting involved doesn’t always turn out to be a quick,easy thing!

Fortunately, this man was grateful that I rang his doorbell. Itook him to the side of his house to show him the loose board(with his other dog still poking his head through) and he appreci-ated that I took the time to do that. It was an easy thing to do inthis situation and it all turned out for the best. It was clearly agood use of five minutes of my day and I’m happy that I helped. Iwas clearly lucky that all the pieces were in place. Would youhave done the same?

located at thenorth end ofRedwood Driveby Wal-Mart, isthe fourth in aseries of largediscount storeson RohnertPark’s west sideand its opening fol-lows the opening ofPrice Club, Food 4Less and Wal-Mart.On Wednesday af-

ternoon at 2 p.m. thewarehouse store willopen its doors during aribbon-cutting ceremony.“That’s the sneak preview forour construction customers,”said Grace, “but everybody whowalks in the door will be wel-come.”Home Depot is a warehouse

his crew movedinto the buildingin the middle ofMay. “There wasnothing here, wecame into anempty shell.”He said. Insidethe 102,000square-foot

Irene Hilsendager’s column

each week touches on momentsin the history of Cotati, RohnertPark and Penngrove.

The relief California’s66,000 kidney dialysis patientsfelt last fall after two seriousthreats to their survival werebeaten back has turned out tobe short-lived.Not only are labor unions

contemplating a second at-tempt to pass something likelast year’s failed Proposition 8,but there’s also an attempt torevive a legislative proposalthat could throw thousands ofpatients who require dialysis tostay alive off the expensivetreatment.Because labor interests like

the Service Employees Interna-tional Union, which sponsored

Proposition 8, lost by a solid 62-38 percent margin last year, thatpossible revival looks like the less threatening of this dangerouspair.Proposition 8 aimed to put more union workers in hundreds of

dialysis clinics, where patients with end-stage kidney disease sitfor at least three hours, three times a week while their blood runsthrough filtering machines that cleanse it of toxins normally re-moved by healthy kidneys. It would have forced closure of an un-known number of clinics by demanding they withhold paymentfrom key workers and officials.(Full disclosure: The writer underwent six months of dialysis

before receiving a kidney transplant.)The other threat last year came from a legislative bill carried by

Democratic state Sen. Connie Leyva of San Bernardino County.Her measure could have thrown dialysis patients off their healthinsurance plans if they accept third-party aid in paying premiums.For some dialysis patients, such aid is critically important.

Many are so exhausted and weakened by the constant blood inter-changes they endure that they cannot work, living on fixed disabil-ity payments and other forms of welfare. Premium assistance canbe the means for staying alive.But Leyva’s bill, known as SB1156, quickly moved through

several legislative committees, eventually passing handily in partdue to support from unions that saw it as somewhat similar in im-pact to their ballot initiative, which eventually failed. Fortunatelyfor dialysis patients, then-Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed that bill.

But it is back, a near clone sponsored this time by DemocraticAssemblyman Jim Wood of Healdsburg, whose district includesmuch of the state’s North Coast. It would require organizationsproviding charitable financial aid to dialysis patients to disclosetheir identities to insurance companies. This bill is part of a na-tional effort by insurers to force such patients off their books andonto public coverage like Medi-Cal. Essentially, the insurancecompanies seek to transfer their expense to taxpayers.Dialysis does cost a lot, often running more than $6,000 per

month and sometimes above $50,000. So the new measure canhave two major effects: Limiting some people’s ability to get dial-ysis and increasing insurance company profits.No one yet knows how Wood’s new bill, known this time as

AB 290, will eventually fare. But there are few new faces in theLegislature, and there’s little new about the identity of their finan-cial backers. Which will likely place the fate of thousands of dial-ysis patients in the hands of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has saidnothing about this bill.There are ironies here. One comes in the brief bio posted on

Woods’ official website, where the longtime dentist brags that he’s“been successful in passing legislation to protect and expand (ac-cess to) medical, dental and mental health care…”His new bill would have the opposite effect. Because it allows

insurance companies to reimburse dialysis clinics at rates belowthe cost of providing care, some clinics might close or refuse careto patients with premium assistance.Many of those patients are helped now by the American Kidney

Fund (AKF), financed in part by large dialysis companies that runthe majority of California clinics. The AKF gives premium help toabout 74,000 dialysis patients in all 50 states, including almost4,000 in California.HIt called last year’s SB 1156 “a thinly veiled attempt by insurers

to prevent kidney patients from being able to choose their own in-surance plan, if they accept charitable premium assistance.”The AKF claimed that bill aimed to let insurance companies rid

themselves of “sicker and more costly patients.”So at least some dialysis patients are once again back on notice

that their needed care might not last long. That’s not a good thingfor folks whose health is already seriously compromised.Elias is author of the current book “The Burzynski Breakthrough:

Insurers keep going after dialysis patientsFourth of July festivities are

right around the corner. Wewant to keep our communityfire safe. Prior to July, thePublic Safety Departmentworks to ensure property own-ers mow high weeds. We setJune 14 this year for compli-ance with our high weed abate-ment ordinance. We willcontinue to get weeds knockeddown leading up to July 4.If you participate in Fourth

of July celebrations, use thefollowing safety tips:Obey local and state laws re-

garding the sale and use ofstate approved fireworks. Allavailable officers will be on

patrol this year to enforce our $1,000 fine for illegal fireworks.Use common sense by adhering to all warning labels and direc-

tions on fireworks products.Never let children play with, light, or handle fireworks. Do not consume alcoholic beverages while lighting fireworks as

it increases your odds of injury or misuse. Light fireworks on stable, hard, flat, surfaces that are 25-40 feet

from flammable items and spectators.Never put your head or any part of your body over a firework.

Never look into a tube to inspect a firework. Never hold a lit fire-work in your hand. Wear eye protection and use long matches when lighting fire-

works.Don’t attempt to re-light a “dud.” If a firework fails to ignite, let

stand for at least 5 minutes, then immerse in water. Keep a bucket of water, a water hose and/or a fire extinguisher

nearby for emergencies. Always be prepared to respond to amishap.Store fireworks in a cool, dry place and not in a pocket.Move animals inside and away from displays – the noise and

lights of fireworks often frighten animals.Don’t purchase or possess illegal fireworks. They are against

the law, unpredictable, and dangerous.Illegal fireworks are identified as anything that explodes, flies,

or launches into the air. Stationary devices are generally consid-ered “safe and sane.” If you choose to purchase safe and sane fire-works, purchase them from local non-profits to be certain they arelegal. If you are in possession of illegal fireworks or they are onyour property, you will be fined $1,000. It is important to note thatsafe and sane fireworks may only be used within city limits onJuly 2-4. Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety is excited to an-

nounce that residents now have a new tool to help combat illegalfireworks. The tool is an App called “Nail ‘em” and will serve asan aid in the city’s zero tolerance approach. The App is a firework-specific reporting tool for anyone with a mobile device. Easily report the possession, sale and/or use of illegal fireworks

in our community along with photos and GPS location. The App isfree of charge as a public service through TNT Fireworks. It isavailable through the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores forboth the iPhone and Android platforms. Complaints submitted through the App will automatically be

routed to the correct law enforcement and/or fire personnel. Youcan opt-in to receive notifications and stay informed about the sta-tus of your complaint. Will you help keep our community safe byreporting illegal fireworks activity? Burton Rec Peace Garden. Two Rotary Clubs, the City of

Rohnert Park, and numerous businesses worked together to en-hance the appearance and quality of life for residents by trans-forming an area of dirt and ivy into a beautiful display of droughttolerant plants. Come visit the Peace Garden at the Burton Rec Center to see

numerous peace quotes, peace poles and a Hiroshima survivortree. This project is a wonderful example of our city value of col-laboration.

By Janet and Lanny Lowery“Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!”

Maybe all of what most of ushave known about opera sincechildhood. This comes early inCinnabar Theater’s “The Barberof Seville.” Now we must waitfor two and a half hours for, asYogi Berra may have so aptlycoined the end of most produc-tions, a baseball season or anopera, “It ain’t over till the fatlady sings!” No time for waiting for that

lady in the Cinnabar productionas the laughter does not cease.Verbal, vocal and physicalhumor singly, dually, or all com-bined happen from the openingcurtain to the closing gag. And,as the person sitting left of mecommented, ”It’s all performedin English!”The age-old story of the secret

suitor opposing the pantelone,the rich old lecher, for the lovethe young beautiful heiress, pres-ents its complications throughdisguises and tricks and deceits.The predictable outcome leaveseveryone smiling, the audience,the young couple, the old lecherand even Figaro the barber.Cinnabar has outdone itself

bringing not just this remarkableshow to its venue but also somany widely known and highly

talented performers to its stage.Sergio Gonzalez, knownthroughout the Bay Area for hisperformances, and cited by“Classical Voice” as singing with“great charm and excellent vocalability,” plays the role of Lin-doro, the helpless lover who de-pends on Figaro (Igor Vieira) thebarber to guide him in his lovepursuit of Rosina (MayaKherani).While “Opera News” declared

Vieira as “show stealing,” in thisversion of “The Barber ofSeville” every character has hisor her moment. The show openswith a comical vignette involv-ing street musicians. And onescene seems to try to top the last.Krista Wigle as the servantBerta, for example, makes themost with her opportunity toreact with expressions, move-ment and voice to the appearanceof the handsome young Lindoro.And Lee Strawn’s Bartolo, the

schemer and lecherer, whoseward is the beautiful Rosina, de-lights the audience with his folly.Bass Jason Sarten plays Basilio,Rosina’s music teacher. His pro-clivity to obliviousness estab-lished in the first scene with theother musicians, allows Figaro tomanipulate him in his majorschemes.

Igor Vieira as Figaro becomesthe primary showstopper al-though every other charactercompetes with the scene stealing.Voice, movement and timingcontribute to Vieira’s incredibleperformance.Soprano Maya Kherani as

Rosina, no less comedic than theothers, shares her “crystallinetone” described by Opera News.Even novice opera audiencemembers appreciate her range,her stamina and her exoticsounds.This outstanding production

with musical direction led byMary Chun and stage directionby Cinnabar’s own Elly Lichen-stein with James Pelican ischarged with an eleven-personorchestra. Scenic design byJoseph Elwick presented first astreet scene outside Rosina’shome and later an interior viewof her sala. Costumes designedby Jolie O’Dell suggested a 19thcentury atmosphere.The perfect introduction to

light opera and a chance to enjoymusic, slapstick and verbal com-edy and vocal acrobatics, “TheBarber of Seville” runs throughJune 23. Contact Cinnabar fortickets at 707-763-8929 or goonline: centerstageticketing.com.

Cinnabar’s“Barber” hilarious!

If anything happens to you,your family has someone toconsult.

If you weren’t around, whatwould happen to your invest-ments? In many families, oneperson handles investment deci-sions and spouses or childrenhave little comprehension ofwhat happens each week,month, or year with a portfolio.

In an emergency, this lack ofknowledge can become finan-cially paralyzing. Just as smallbusiness owners risk problemsby “keeping it all in theirheads,” families risk problemswhen only one person under-stands investments.

A trusted relationship with afinancial professional can be sovital. If the primary individualhandling investment and portfo-lio management responsibilitiesin a family passes away, thefamily has a professional toconsult – not a stranger theyhave to explain their prioritiesto at length, but someone whohas built a bond with mom or

dad and perhaps their adultchildren.

You want a professional whohas to meet a fiduciary stan-dard. Look for a financial pro-fessional who upholds afiduciary standard. Profession-als who build their businesseson a fiduciary standard tend towork on a fee basis or entirelyfor fees. Other financial serv-ices industry professionals mayearn much of their compensa-tion from commissions linkedto trades or product sales.

Commission-based financialprofessionals don’t necessarilyhave to abide by a fiduciarystandard. Sometimes, only asuitability standard must bemet. The difference may seemminor, but it really isn’t. Thesuitability standard, which hailsback to the days of cold-callingstock brokers, dictates that youshould recommend investmentsthat are “suitable” to a client.In contrast, a financial profes-sional working by a fiduciarystandard always has an ethicalrequirement to act in a client’sbest interest and to recommendinvestments or products thatclearly correspond to that bestinterest. The client comes first.

You want a professional wholooks out for you. Financialprofessionals earn trust throughtheir character, ability and can-dor. In handling portfolios formyriad clients, they learn towatch for certain concerns andto be aware of certain issuesthat may get in the way ofwealth building or wealth reten-tion.

Many investors have builtimpressive and varied portfo-

lios, but lack long-term wealthmanagement strategies. Moneyhas been made, but little atten-tion may have been given to taxefficiency or risk exposure.

As you near retirement age,playing defense becomes moreand more important. A trustedfinancial professional couldhelp you determine a risk andtax management approach withthe potential to preserve yourportfolio assets and your estate.

Your family will want noth-ing less. With a skilled finan-cial professional around to actas a “co-pilot” for your portfo-lio, your loved ones will havesomeone to contact should theunexpected happen. When youhave a professional who canstep up for you, today and to-morrow, you have a financialprofessional whose service andguidance can potentially addvalue to your financial life.

If you’re the family memberin charge of investments andcrucial financial matters, don’tlet that knowledge disappear atyour passing. A will or a trustcan transfer assets, but not theacumen by which they havebeen accumulated. A relation-ship with a trusted financialprofessional may help to con-vey it to others.Ken Weise, an LPL Financial

When you’re getting a mort-gage the process can seem a lit-tle bit scary because it’sunfamiliar and most peopledon’t take out mortgages thatoften, so the unfamiliarity ofthe process can seem daunting,stressful and somewhat cryptic.Here is how the mortgageprocess works and most impor-tantly what you should avoiddoing when getting a loan…

In order to successfully pro-cure mortgage financing, youmust compile supporting finan-cial documentation includingbut, not limited to, pay stubs,W-2s, bank statements, copiesof insurance and complete anapplication with the lender ofyour choice. From here mostbanks will create an application,send you disclosures and moveyour file into processing wherethey do some additional dotting

of the i’s and crossing of thet’s. Next the processor willpush your file over to under-writing. Make no mistake theunderwriter’s job is to denyyour loan. Your loan will comeout of underwriting either de-nied, suspended or approvedwith conditions. Very rarely doloans ever get denied, gener-ally most loans get ‘approvedwith conditions.’

Approved with conditionsmeans on a purchase you cangenerally release your loancontingency if the conditionsare met which is based on thediscretion of your mortgageprofessional. Approved withconditions means your closingwill close provided you providemore supporting documenta-tion. Here is what this mightlook like:

Provide a year-end pay stubwith a breakdown of compensa-tion.

Explain $4,200 cash depositin savings account ending in334.

Letter of explanation aboutwhy you’re buying this prop-erty in relationship to the otherproperty that you presentlyown.

Provide last page of K1 thatyou supply the bank that you’reusing for your mortgage withthe above documentation yourloan would be final approvedclear to close and docs orderedto close escrow.

Let’s say for example youprovide all these things re-quested and upon the review ofthose items more conditions areadded. It happens, but notoften. Please understand mort-gage companies are not tryingto deny your loan and they’renot trying to make life hard foryou even though it might feelthat way. The federal govern-ment says this is how you mustdo loans. It’s not an option tosimply ignore a bank statementor withhold documentation be-cause when that transpires theloan could cause what’s calleda buy back in the secondarymarket and that lender could beon the hook for thousands andthousands of dollars. Mortgageunderwriters can only ask fordocuments that are withinmortgage loan guidelines. Theycan at times ask for documenta-tion beyond that in quirky com-plex scenarios, but it is seldom.So, it’s critical to work with aloan officer that knows the

guidelines better than the un-derwriter. Finding such an indi-vidual is a rare find indeed.

The number one thing youwant to make sure that youdon’t do when seeking a mort-gage is go dark or non-respon-sive or be resistant to providingdocuments that the underwriterneeds. You also want to avoidtrying to supply another docu-ment in lieu of the documentthat the underwriter originallyrequested- 9 out of 10 timesthat does not work.

The simple answer is youmust surrender. You must bewilling to surrender and trustthat the lender that you’ve hiredto handle your home financingis going to perform for youeven when it seems difficultand all odds are against you,have faith. Not all lenders andbanks are created equal, but awillingness to stick it throughto the end is worth it.

When the mortgage companyasks for document the right an-swer is “ok.”

“I am too busy.”“I will not provide that.”“Why?”“I have already provided this

before.”“I don’t understand and will

not provide until I understand.”All the above answers when

a lender requests further docu-mentation is the wrong ap-proach especially if you areunder a mortgage rate lock andtiming is off the essence.

*Mortgage tip: Nearly allmortgages contain a time clockwhich is continually ticking,and you could be on the hookfinancially, by failing to providethe necessary documents thelender is requesting in the formincreased fees for not closingescrow on time.

It’s usually quicker, fasterand easier for you and in yourbest interests financially to justget the piece of documentationthat the lender needs rather thanbeing resistant or uncooperativewhen they’re only trying to dotheir job in helping you reachyour financial goals.Scott Sheldon is a local mort-

gage lender, with a decade of ex-perience helping consumerspurchase and refinance primaryhomes second homes and invest-ment properties. Learn more atwww.sonomacountymortgages.com.

Vaccinations are vital. It isalarming the number of peoplethat are refusing vaccinationsfor themselves and their chil-dren. Vaccinations are safeand prevent life threateningdiseases. Over the last few years there

have been outbreaks ofmeasles and whooping coughwith many deaths due to lackof universal vaccinations. Notlong ago, these diseases werethought to be eradicated in theUnited States. But continualmass immunizations are neces-sary to control the spread ofthese highly contagious dis-eases through the population.

There are combinations of reasons why people don’t get vacci-nated, which include fear of shots, fear of side effects, fear of thegovernment or corporate conspiracies and/or a belief in bad, dis-proved science. As a result, they, their children and others areplaced at a greater risk for illness and possible death.Last week, I talked with a young mother who was refusing vac-

cinations for herself and her infant because she did not like shots.I was taken aback. In 2010, there were 11 infant deaths from per-tussis, better known as whooping cough, just in California alone.While researching on the Internet, I found heart-wrenching storiesfrom parents who lost their children from their own lack of immu-nization. Please take the steps to receive vaccinations for you andyour children.

MeaslesMeasles is a highly contagious viral disease. On May 30, fed-

eral health officials announced that there were more measlescases, 971, in the United States the first five months of 2019 thenthere were in all of 1992, when the last large outbreak in the U.S.occurred. InHDec. 2014, a large outbreak of measles started in Cal-iforniaHwhen at least 40 people who visited or worked at Disney-land theme park in Orange County contracted measles; theoutbreak also spread to at least half a dozen other states. Thisyear’s measles epidemic has involved 26 states. In 2000, measleswas considered eradicated in the United States, but has recentlymade a startling come back. So it is crucial that everyone have thevaccine. With globalization, infectious diseases are only oneplane ride away.Since 1963, when the vaccine was introduced, cases and deaths

from measles in the United States and other developed countrieshave plummeted. Prior to the vaccine, measles caused approxi-mately 450 to 500 deaths each year in the United States. Between1985 and 1992, death from measles was reported in approximatelytwo out of every 1,000 U.S. measles cases, with pneumonia ac-counting for about 60 percent of these deaths, according to theCDC. The most recent measles death in the United States occurredin 2015.“Measles are preventable and the way to end this outbreak is to

ensure that all children and adults who can get vaccinated, do getvaccinated,” Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the C.D.C.Measles are widespread in many parts of the world, including

Europe, Africa and Asia. Before widespread use of the vaccine,measles led to more than two million deaths a year, world-wide.Vaccination resulted in an 80 percent drop in worldwide measlesdeaths between 2000 and 2017. Around the globe, measles infec-

tions were responsible for 110,000 deaths in 2017, the most recentstatistical year. Most of them were children under five. The over-whelming majority — more than 95 percent — of measles deathsoccur in countries with low per capita incomes and weak healthinfrastructures, such as nations experiencing or recovering from anatural disaster or conflict. Disrupted health services, includingroutine vaccinations, along with overcrowding in residentialcamps increases the risk of infection.Measles begin with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, fol-

lowed by a cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and arash. The rash typically appears first on the face, along the hairlineand behind the ears and then affects the rest of the body. Infectedpeople are usually contagious from about four days before theirrash starts to four days afterwards. Children routinely get theirfirst dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine at 12months old or later. The second dose of MMR is usually adminis-tered before the child begins kindergarten but may be given onemonth or more after the first dose.

Whooping coughPertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a highly

contagious disease. Whooping cough is an infection of the respi-ratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It ischaracterized by severe coughing spells that end in a “whooping”sound when the person breathes in.The pertussis bacteria spreads from person to person through

tiny drops of fluid from an infected person’s nose or mouth. Thesedrops may become airborne when the person sneezes, coughs, orlaughs, infecting others when inhaled. Pertussis spreads evenmore readily by individuals touching their hands to their mouth ornose and then touching surfaces like a doorknob or a drinkingglass. Others touch the same surfaces, getting the drops of bacte-ria filled fluid on their hands and then touch their own mouths ornoses. Washing hands regularly helps prevent the spread of dis-ease. Even better is a vaccination against pertussis. The first symptoms of whooping cough are similar to those of a

common cold, including runny nose, sneezing, mild cough andlow-grade fever. After about one to two weeks, the dry, irritatingcough evolves into coughing spells. Severe coughing continues forapproximately two to four weeks, though the coughing spells cansometimes last even longer. The last stage consists of another sev-eral weeks of recovery with gradual resolution of symptoms. Insome children, the recovery period may last for months.During a coughing spell, which can last for more than a minute,

the child may turn red or purple. At the end of a spell, the childmay make a characteristic whooping sound when breathing in ormay vomit. Between spells, the child usually feels well.Whooping cough can be prevented with the pertussis vaccine,

which is part of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis)immunization. DTaP immunizations are routinely given in fivedoses before a child’s sixth birthday. Whooping cough immunitycan fade five to 10 years after the last vaccination. To give addi-tional protection in case immunity fades, children ages 11-18should get a booster shot (called Tdap). Adults should receive aTdap booster shot as well. Boosters should be given to adultsevery 10 years, since whooping cough immunity can fade five to10 years after the last vaccination.Pregnant Women are recommended to receive Tdap (whooping

cough booster) in their third trimester (between 27-36 weeksHofpregnancy, at the earliest opportunity during this window). Tdap isrecommended during each pregnancy, evenHwhen givenHbeforepregnancy. The protection that expectant moms receive from Tdapalso passes to their baby in the womb. This helps protect babiesduring the most vulnerable period, until they are old enough to get

their first whooping coughvaccination at 6—8 weeks ofage.In conclusion, everyone

should receive vaccinations forall diseases recommended bytheir physicians and Center forDisease Control. No Excuses!Enjoy Life and Keep Smil-

Communicating about end-of-life care and how to broachthis topic with your aging par-ent or loved one can come upin simple everyday conversa-tions. H They could begin assimply as sharing coffee after afamily funeral and your fathersays “I never want to behooked up to ventilators likeUncle Steve was,” or drivingaway from a nursing homevisit and your mother says “Inever want to end up in a placelike that”.HStatements such as these can

give you a glimpse of whatyour loved one does or doesn’tdesire for their end-of-life care.

What they don’t provide you with, is the full picture you need toadequately plan ahead. The best plan of action is to have inten-tional conversations surrounding these concerns when you’re notin crisis, before there’s a reason to need such conversation.

Fear #16I don’t want to die in a hospital or an institutionlike a nursing home.How to manage this: There are many options for the end of life

outside of nursing homes and hospitals. Educate yourself on whatthese options are for yourself or your loved one. LookHinto home-care options with your loved ones, orHinvestigate what an aging

community with various levels of care would look like for them.Knowing your options and all involved in them ahead of time, willhelp when it’s time to make a decision if /when change is neces-sary.

Fear #2666I don’t want to lose my independence.How to manage this: In today’s world there are so many devices

& apps that offerHopportunities to make a living at home as long asyou can a viable option. Look into homecare options too so thatyour parent or loved one can stay living independently in theirown home without feeling like they have to rely on family mem-bers to meet their daily care needs. HOften home care might be atemporary solution while a senior is ill or recovering at home froman injury. HA little bit a help early enough can ward off long-termstruggles and keep your aging loved oneHliving happier, safer,healthier and independently in their own home as long as theypossibly can. HAs a home care provider myself, I always remindour clients - we are not here to take your independence from you,rather to help you maintain it.

Fear #36What if I get Alzheimer’s disease or dementia?How to manage this: Designating a loved one with POA (power

of attorney) will give that person the power to advocate when theyno longer can for themselves. Let them designate a trusted personin their life with this responsibility and it will give your loved onepeace of mind- that their care wishes will be met regardless oftheir mental acuity.

Fear #46 6I hate the thought of being on ventilators to keepme alive.How to manage this: One of the best gift you can give yourself

and your family is to establish a living will. Many attorneys will

prepare a Living Will as part of an estate planning package. HThisinvestment is a gift to yourself and your loved ones as it outlinesthe treatment preferences in the event he or she is unable to makethose decisions for him or herself. Here in California we have thePOLST form (Physician orders for life-sustaining treatment). It isa medical order signed by both the patient and the physician thatspecifies the types of medical treatment a patient wishes to receivetowards the end of life.Culturally it’s normal to feel anxious talking about death.H Your

parents may struggle to communicate clearly what their wishes arein advance of the end of life care. The best way to address it is tosimply carve out time and be intentional with the conversation ifthe opportunity doesn’t naturally present itself.H The best conver-sation is where you get to ask questions to understand their wishesand reasoning behind their choices.H Do be sureHto record your dis-cussion by taking notes so you have something to refer back towhen making plans in the future.H Having an open communicationwith your loved one will give everyone involved a sense of peacewhich will outweigh the anxiety leading up to the conversation.

‘CRPUSD’ from page 1confirmed that Cotati-Rohnert Park had selected a very fine candi-date.Just after 6:30 p.m. on June 11, school board president Leff

Brown reported out Item 5A in one short sentence: “We did notreach agreement with our candidate for personal reasons.” Forty minutes later, with few reports and business as usual, the

meeting adjourned.Steve Goldstone and Dave Brown, Cosca Group consultants, have

carefully steered the district through a process that allowed all stake-holders input into this most critical action. This followed CoscaGroup’s mission statement: “We involve district leadership in everyphase and every key decision and provide continuous communica-tion, frequent updates, and convenient access to consultants through-out the process.” As these consultants have delivered on thesepromises during the past four months, they have earned the respectof the trustees and the community, so that an extended wait for theright superintendent becomes more than an act of faith.Cosca Group and its two consultants who have led this search re-

alize their task goes far beyond the duties of headhunters. Publiceducation, the foundation of American values, relies on the partici-pation of all community members. Cosca Group asserts its beliefsystem just below its letterhead: “We believe that education is a co-operative effort of family, school, and community and that all chil-dren deserve the opportunity for success in schools.”To date, Goldstone and Brown have involved many stakeholders.

In Feb. and Mar., they conducted 31 meetings and ran several pollsto determine the needs of our community in a superintendent. Withthe board’s input and direction based on all of this input, on Mar.26they identified desired leadership qualities and characteristics. Andfrom this information, the consultants put together a hiring brochurethat the trustees approved at the beginning of April.One conclusion based on the perception of the recent district lead-

ership was that the district had poor communication, a failure oftransparency, and policies that lacked inclusion of all of the com-munity. This led to an identification of what was needed in a super-intendent.The brochure’s opening statement set the tone for the desired new

leadership: “The Board of Trustees of the Cotati-Rohnert Park Uni-fied School District seeks a long-term relationship with a collegialleader who can build on the district’s strengths through the devel-opment of an effect governance team led by its Superintendent ofSchools.”What does that look like? The eight past superintendents have

each in his or her unique way maintained a distance from nearly allof the stakeholders. Most importantly, none of these superintendentswere effective leaders of teachers and principals because they alldistanced themselves from the realities of the classrooms and thecampuses. They were content to hire consultants to lead trainingswhile they often stood aloof at the back of the training rooms. Theyrarely visited a campus long enough to get a feel for what was reallyhappening.What can be learned from looking at this history? A good super-

intendent will not just be available for teachers, principals and com-munity members. A good superintendent will be engaged with allof the stakeholders in educational activities. A good superintendentwill be a presence on the school campuses and accessible to every-one. A good superintendent will be a teacher, a mentor and a com-municator. Following eight figure heads who emphasized one feature or an-

other but never actively participated in the educational process, su-perintendent number nine must be the leader that Cotati-RohnertPark schools has been missing for forty years. A true leader willcontinue to teach, mentor and lead by example. The weekend study of the prospective candidate highlighted just

what a great superintendent will do: stand in front of employeesand conduct the training, listen to employees needs and act upon

that information, mentor school leaders and always serve as an ex-ample of how they should conduct themselves.The process to find the best superintendent seems slow but a wait

for a “real” superintendent will not hurt as this community has beenwaiting for forty years. The good news is that the school board andthe consultant team are committed to making the right choice. Theyhave set their standards high because this community deserves a su-perintendent who is a teacher, a mentor and a leader.“Nothing is ever lost,” stated Governor Willie Stark in “All the

King’s Men” and repeated reporter Jack Burden. And that rings truein this superintendent search. The community did not get the ex-cellent candidate from Temecula Valley but did learn more aboutwhat a great superintendent looks like. And now, more informed,the search continues.
