Sonoma County supervisors and Santa Rosa City Council members are preparing to make their strongest statements yet Tuesday in support of undocu-mented residents in an effort to
calm fears stoked by President Donald Trump’s controversial executive orders on immigra-tion.
They appear poised to do so, however, without using the po-litically charged term “sanctu-ary,” a designation without a clear definition that Trump has said could lead to the loss of fed-eral funding for communities that “willfully refuse” to coop-erate with immigration agents.
“Once we use the word ‘sanc-tuary,’ it means a lot of things
to a lot of people, and then it becomes an issue of the current administration’s threat to re-move our federal funding,” Su-pervisor Shirlee Zane said.
Santa Rosa is also preparing to discuss a resolution Tuesday that reads a lot like a sanctuary resolution without ever using the word, calling it instead a res-olution to “Safeguard the Civil Rights, Safety and Dignity of All Santa Rosa Residents.”

Super Bowl ads wade into ‘new reality’
Building supplies company 84 Lum-ber tackled a heap of controversy over the weekend with its carefully crafted — yet inconclusive — 90-second Super Bowl ad featuring a Mexican mother and daughter embarking on a diffi-
cult journey north that left the viewer wondering where they ended up.
At the end of the ponderous tale, script appears on the screen: “The will to succeed is always welcome here.”
That wasn’t the full story. The Su-per Bowl ad asked viewers to visit the 84 Lumber website if they wanted the rest of the story. The website version included a five-minute “director’s cut” version that concludes with the pair entering the United States through a door in a towering border wall, a di-rect take on one of the most combus-

Palms Inn, a former motel, now transforming shattered lives
Jim Crawford and his fian-cee were walking down the street in northern Santa
Rosa one day last January, headed downtown where they planned to spend another night sleeping outside in the cold.
Crawford and his fiancee, Dana LeBlanc, had just left a motel where they often stayed for a few days whenever they
could pull together the funds. The homeless couple had just checked out and, with no cash left even for a bus ride, was making a more than 2-mile trek down Mendocino Avenue.
