n the past nine months since its
abrupt closure, the once-pristine
Adobe Creek Golf Course on the
fringe of Petaluma’s east side has be-
come a massive overgrown blight on the
community, frustrating residents who
own homes in an upscale subdivision
surrounding the now-defunct amenity.
A large group of property owners
from the 320-home Adobe Creek Home-
owners Association gathered Tuesday
at Casa Grande High School to urge city
and county leaders to help them find a
resolution to mounting issues, including
rat infestations, weeds, declining prop-
erty values, dust, trespassers and dying
trees. A path forward isn’t clear, as the
100-acre course is split between county
and city jurisdiction and is governed by
several layers of highly-restrictive land
use regulations that all but solidify its
use as open space or golf course.
On Jan. 1, the course’s owners shut-
tered the 18-hole facility amid declin-
ing business and what operators said
were insurmountable financial losses
amounting to $200,000 annually. The
course faced rising costs while seeing a
steady decline in play despite efforts to
stabilize the business, which included
revamping facilities and marketing,
operators said.
The fate of the course has been the
focus of much speculation this year and
emotions are running high as homeown-

Tuesday implored city and county
leaders to take a more active role, both

they can accomplish.

Local ‘dreamers’ fear end of DACA are carcinogens, not to mention

As President Trump asks Congress
to act on immigration policy, those
left in limbo dread deportation
By HANNAH BEAUSANG
ARGUS-COURIER STAFF
It was the first time in 25 years that Zahy-
ra Garcia felt like she could breathe.
The sense of relief came after the Pet-
aluma resident applied for and received
benefits from the Deferred Action for Child-
hood Arrivals (DACA) after the Obama-era
program was instated in 2012.
It allowed Garcia, whose parents illegally
spirited her to America from Acapulco,
Mexico when she was 1, the opportunity to
obtain temporary protected status, safe-
guarding her from deportation while pav-
ing the way for her to get a driver’s license,
a Social Security numberer and legal work
status.
That protection for young people brought
to the country illegally by their parents was
temporary and required renewal every two
years, but it did not grant lawful status.
Last year, Garcia, who lives in Petaluma
with her wife and their child, quickly pur-
sued and was granted permanent residency
after she first heard that Donald Trump
was running for president. In the wake of
a campaign filled with anti-immigration
rhetoric, President Trump Sept. 5 made
good on a promise to end DACA, casting
a shadow of uncertainty over the lives of
many in Sonoma County. The program will
be phased out over six months, leaving the
fate of so-called “dreamers” in the hands of
the years of herbicides and pes-
ticides that went into keeping
the turf on the football field.”

“We’re trying to make it
as reasonable for everyone
as possible,” Hoppes said.
In 2015, voters in the
mostly rural school dis-
trict rejected a parcel tax,
which requires two-thirds
voter support, with 61.9
percent voting for the mea-
sure. Before that, voters
had been generous to the
260-student school.
The original parcel tax
voters adopted in 2004 was
$45 per year. By a 76 per-
cent margin, voters in 2008
extended the tax by eight
years and added $5. In 2012,
voters approved $4 million
in bonds, which the district
used to upgrade security,
rehabilitate a sewer line,
build a new entryway and
improve facilities at the
57-year-old school.
Hoppes said the parcel
tax, which is estimated to
net $70,000 per year for the
school with a $2.6 million
annual budget, would be

like music and counseling.
It will help restore hours
for the school library and
bolster technology in the
classroom. And, it will
help keep class sizes small
— 22 for the lower grades
and 29 for the upper
grades of the kindergarten
through 6th grade school.
“This is the kind of thing
that guarantees that kids
will be well-rounded at Wil-
son School,” Hoppes said.
The Sonoma County
Taxpayers Association has
not yet taken a stance on
the measure, one of just a
handful of issues county-
wide on the ballot this
November, and the only
one in the Petaluma area.
Dan Drummond, president
of the taxpayer group, said
he looks at each measure
on a case-by-case basis.
“It’s important to avoid
knee-jerk reactions,”
he said. “The question
really would be, why is the
Wilmar School District in
financial straits.”
Hoppes said the district
took belt-tightening mea-
sures during the recession
when state funding for ed-
ucation took a hit. The dis-
trict this year cut $50,000
from its budget, carried
over another $50,000 from
last year, and increased
enrollment. The Parent

The parcel tax will
not provide money for

according to the propo-
nents. Property owners 65
or older are exempt from
paying the tax.
Hoppes said the money
would be used to help fur-
ther students’ education.
“It really helps sup-
port kids having the full
elementary experience,”
he said.

Jeanne (McCarter) Pratt Robert Lynn Shor

Jeanne Lenore (McCarter) Pratt
passed away peacefully on
September 4, 2107 at the age of
97. Jeanne was a true native of
Penngrove where she was born,
raised, schooled, and continued
living for over 90 years. Two
buildings in Penngrove reflect
a large part of her past; the
Penngrove Hatchery on the south
end of town built and operated
by her father, W.E. McCarter,
and on the north end, Riebli
Bros. where her first husband,
Art Riebli (d) built and co-owned
an iron works business with his
brother, Carl. Jeanne and Art
(also a Penngrove native) met at
Petaluma High School and were
married in 1939. Both were
active with the Penngrove Fire
Department - Art as a volunteer
fireman and helping to acquire
the land and developing the
Penngrove Community Park.
Many of Jeanne’s recollections
of her early years in Penngrove
were documented in interviews

the site and met with the
contractor who began hos-
ing down the work area.
However, it was discov-
ered that one water truck
could not handle the job
and, while a second truck
was brought in, there
were some “equipment
challenges,” and hoses had
to be used in areas of the
field.
Callahan said the prob-
lem was compounded by
an afternoon wind that
blew over the construction
site on a very hot summer
day.
“I’m sure that if the con-
tractor had to do it over
again, he wouldn’t have
gone forward on a windy
day,” said Callahan.
Hutka remains con-
cerned about health
issues.
“They needlessly ex-
posed the neighborhood to
what might be more caus-
tic then they thought,”
said Hutka, who added
that he is having a sample
of the substance analyzed.
Callahan said the Bay
Area Air Quality Man-
agement District has been
working with the contrac-
tor to monitor any further
problems. Guerrero, while
upset with the incident,
acknowledged that the
district did respond to
weapon and domestic assault
and a misdemeanor of violating
probation.

Velasco-Salinas, 30, was arrest-
ed at 430 Washington St. on
misdemeanor charges of driving

hit and run and driving without
some of the neighbor’s
concerns.
“What happened was
really a blatant disregard
for the neighborhood,”
he said. “But they (the
district) have taken steps
to improve.”
Guerrero, in an email
to the district, asked
for specific remediation
measures, including an
advisory letter to house-
holds surrounding the
project site that there was
a potential chemical con-
tamination, professional
cleaning remediation to be
provided by the district,
placement of fabric dust
barriers around the perim-
eter of the Petaluma High
field project and increased
water truck activity.
Callahan said a dust
control plan is in place,
that there would be more
use of water truck for dust
suppression, continued
cleaning of streets and
the district had asked the
contractor to add dust
coverings to the fences
around the project.
Thomas said the process
of mixing the quicklime
and cement into the soil
lasted “two or three days”
and now was complete.

fights.
Police are still trying to
piece together a narrative
of the events leading up to
the incident and are ask-
ing for the public’s help,
Lyons said.
Nunez-Castro was
transported to Santa Rosa
Memorial Hospital, where
he died from his wounds,
police said. A second vic-
tim in his 20s, whose name
and place of residence
have not been released,
was treated at the scene
for a wound on his arm,
police said.
“We don’t know what
initiated the altercation,” Ly-
ons said. “We’re just trying
to contact witnesses and see
any surveillance video that
may have been present at
the time. It was around 1:40
in the morning and there
were not a lot of people
down there except for the
bar and night club crowd.”
Lyons said the suspected
assailant fled on foot in
the direction of the Keller
Street parking garage, leav-
ing a trail of blood. Police
tracked the blood drops up
Telephone Alley to Wash-
ington Street and into the
parking garage, where the
trail stopped, Lyons said.
A tipster reported
hearing a car drive away
at a “high rate of speed”
around the time of the
incident, Lyons said.
The fatal stabbing was
the first homicide in Peta-
luma since January 2016,
when Harold Coombes, 86,
shot and killed his bedrid-
den wife, Bertha, 83, before
committing suicide, in what
family members described
as a mercy killing. The last
homicide before that was
the 2014 shooting death of
Arturo Hinojosa, 49, in his
west Petaluma home.
The downtown area
around Kentucky Street
has been the scene of
several fights and assaults,
especially on weekend
nights when the bars close.
“I certainly hate to hear
about anybody that died,
but I’m not surprised,”
said Joel Sealfon, walking
with his wife, Heidi, from
their Kentucky Street
business. “You’ve got three
bars pumping out booze
every day. Kids drink.
They don’t know how to
control themselves.”
The Sealfons said they
often dine out downtown,
but wouldn’t come to Ken-
tucky Street late at night.
Petaluma Chamber of
Commerce CEO Onita Pel-
legrini said the business
community is shaken after
the unusual act of extreme
violence in the heart of
the city. “Everyone is
concerned,” she said. “It’s
a fatality and that’s very
rare for Petaluma, cer-
tainly, and it’s something
that would of course cause
people to talk.”
She said Police Chief

business group at its quar-
terly luncheon last week,
offering reassurance that
Petaluma’s overall crime
rate remains “very low.”
“I know the police
department is super on top
of crime and these types of
incidents,” she said. “We
can take comfort in the
fact that we have a strong
police force.”
Savano said the city
averages one or fewer
homicides annually, and
said the department has
already been working to
step up its presence in
downtown and will contin-
ue those efforts.
“Ironically, we’ve been
having discussions about
trying to expand that cov-
erage with increased staff
presence, officers on bikes
in downtown having a
higher presence and more
vehicle patrol,” he said.
“There’s been an up-tick
in vandalism and general
calls for service and we’re
trying to respond to that.”
Along with other depart-
ments across the city, the
public safety agency was
hard hit with cuts amid
recession-induced belt
tightening, and it has yet to
make a comeback to previ-
ous staffing levels. As the
city’s leaders grapple with
the prospect of further
diminishing services if
additional revenue sources
aren’t injected into its bud-
get, Savano said his officers
will continue to protect
the city to the best of their
abilities. While it had 77
authorized positions before
the recession, the depart-
ment is down to 64 autho-
rized positions, with eight
of those unfilled as four
officers are out and the
department seeks to hire
four additional officers.
“This message has not
changed — we do not have
enough police officers to be
everywhere that we would
like, especially in the down-
town area at times of night
and day when the demand
for their presence is the
greatest,” he said. “We’re
simply trying to keep up
with calls for service that
are coming in. ... This
community is ours to take
care of and we have to work
together, whether that’s
business owners or tourists,
it’s incumbent on every cit-
izen to pay attention and to

report suspicious behavior
or criminal activity before
things get out of hand.”
Over the years, the
Keller Street garage has
been particularly prob-
lematic for crime. In 2008
two people were shot and
injured in a confrontation
that started at the nearby
Phoenix Theater. Last
year, a 16-year-old boy was
hospitalized after being
attacked on the roof. In
August, a gunman held up
a man and woman walking
on nearby Liberty Street.
No arrests have been made
in that case, Lyons said.
A memorial for Nunez-
Castro was set for Sept. 14
in Santa Rosa. A GoFund-
Me campaign to raise
money for his son, Tristan,
has been established at
www.gofundme.com/9t-
5gf3-christian-nunez.
Nunez, his brother, said
the whole family is still in
shock from the incident,
saying it “seems like it’s
not real.” He said that his
brother was a hard-working
family man with aspira-
tions of owning his own
landscaping business some-
day. He said Nunez-Castro
liked boxing and spending
time with his family. He
hoped for swift justice for
his brother’s killer.
“I’m hoping they catch
him, I really do,” he said.
“He just took someone’s
son, someone’s brother,
someone’s father from us.”

Committed
to saving
local lives
In Petaluma, resources exist
for AED, CPR training, and
it’s paying off in lives saved
A
man collapses on the golf course
at Rooster Run and a bystander
begins applying CPR. Another
man runs up with the golf club’s AED
(automatic external defibrillator), a
device that delivers electric shocks to
restore a normal heart rhythm after
cardiac arrest. Following the machine’s
automated commands, he delivers three
shocks and the victim’s heart begins
beating again. The man survives.
A Petaluma Junior High School
eighth grader sees a man collapse at a
rowing event in Oakland. Relying on the
training she learned in P.E. class, the
13-year-old student uses CPR chest com-
pressions, keeping the man alive until
paramedics arrive. Again, a life is saved.
If you could easily save someone‘s life,
would you do it? For most people, the
answer is “yes.” Learning CPR is easy.
So is using an AED.
In both cases noted above, the life
savers said they were simply following
the training they had received.
Here in Petaluma we’re lucky to
have extensive resources ensuring that
anyone interested in learning CPR can
be trained on how to perform it. And
with the growing availability and ease of
using AEDs, the matter of ordinary peo-
ple saving lives in Petaluma is becoming
almost commonplace.
We just need more people trained on
CPR and more AEDs placed in local
businesses, and that’s also easy to do.
For more than 35 years, the Petalu-
ma Health Care District has operated
Healthquest CPR, an American Heart
Association-certified training center
providing classes and on-site training
for thousands of residents, business
owners, teachers and students. The

River dredging
EDITOR: Since 1981, with the produc-
tion and building at the marina, Petalu-
ma eyed a potential income of $150,000
a year for the birthing slips and launch
and fuel profits.
What has happened to the last 30 years
of marina revenue that the city has put
in the general fund? Now the harbor the
downtown turning basin and the exis-
tence of the maritime use of the river is
in jeopardy as a dead river.
This cannot be a challenge because,
after two years, I moved my boat out of
the marina area because of its depth and
shoaling and the mud residue that gets
inside my engine.
And I still can’t understand, after the
construction of the Highway 101 bridge,
why a survey was not conducted to ac-
count for the loss of draft by the exces-
sive construction and batter piles going
in with the bridge peers and sheet metal
which only shift the mud and slurry out
into the fairway.

Setting the record
straight
EDITOR: After reading Skip Som-
mers’ Petaluma Past, I must attempt
to set the record straight. Sommers
quotes an Argus-Courier report about
“Japanese aliens illegally holding farm
lands in Sonoma County.” I must point
out why the Japanese residents were
deemed illegal.
It was because of racist legislation
that includes the “California Alien Land
Act of 1913 and 1920” and “The Immigra-
tion 1924” that restricted land ownership
and leasing over three years by the
Japanese people. Sommers alludes to
the “seizure of their property went into
effect.”
Fact, the seizure of their property was
for the duration of the war only. When
the Japanese of Sonoma County re-
turned home their property was waiting
for them. No Japanese resident lost any
real property in Sonoma County. I know
this because my family lived on a Japa-
nese-owned poultry ranch and were told
to vacate the property upon the return
of the property owners. The same could
not be said for other areas of the state.

■ “Count me in as a supporter to end
DACA. Sorry, but I’m one of the silent
majority in the US that agree with this.”
■ “Absolutely agree with straightening
out this Obama mess. This executive order
was never constitutional nor a legal law.
The Executive branch cannot make laws
such as this one that Obama created.”

has referred to Congress to make laws.
He has said no action will be taken until
Congress acts.”

Olmsted, “We must be prepared, The
menace is real.”
Fact, of the over 110,000 Japanese who
were interned/incarcerated, not one was
ever convicted of a war crime. An article
about local Japanese cannot be complete
without honoring the local men who
joined our armed forces to protect our
country while their families were locked
behind barbed wire and armed guards.
Against all odds these brave troopers
joined the fabled 442nd Infantry Regi-
ment, the unit was awarded 9,500 Purple
Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, and 21 Med-
als of Honor. Another group, the MIS or
Military Intelligence Service, operated
behind enemy Japanese lines.
Sommers continues “Adding to those
fears was the growth of the American
Nazi Party.” In reality, Petaluma did
have a pro-Nazi group called the Ger-
man American Bund that met in a local
building. At times the Bund members
dressed in Nazi type uniforms and would

was called the Fuehrer by local media.

EDITOR: Isn’t it amazing how the
media can magnify the insanity of so
few (i.e. Charlottesville) into the rest of
us believing that sort of thing is ubiqui-
tous. How on earth did it become so wide
spread that we have to throw up barriers
against hate-speech? And, what is “hate-
speech” and who decides?
Would we prefer that our thinking
be filtered by someone ensconced in a
government position or perhaps some
religious official? Or would we prefer
to decide for ourselves? Other cultures
believe the clergy must decide what is
permitted. In still other countries, any
“bad” thoughts (i.e. anti-government)
are not allowed on pain of severe pun-
ishment (North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba,
etc.)
Anyone want the job of deciding?
Surely, we would have deep suspicions
about the power and political motiva-
tions of anyone who actually took the
job. Since words are just the result of

be done to reach a legitimate perma-

to do it. First step would be an in-depth
screening to eliminate any problematic
individuals.”
■ “This decision is cruel and lacking
in any logic. Here are innocents striving
to contribute and along comes the big,
bad wolf to destroy hopes and dreams to
the detriment of our society.”
■ “If you’re here illegally no matter
how you got here, you’re breaking the
law, especially for those waiting in line to
become citizens legally.”
■ “ It’s time we put our focus and our
funding back into the American people. If

What makes
Petaluma
special?
Many describe Petaluma
as a unique place, but
what does that mean?
By DAVE ALDEN
I
’ve written before about
Know Before You Grow, a
forum series organized by
Petaluma Urban Chat. I was
a founder of Urban Chat and
serve on the Know Before You
Grow committee.
In the first two forums, we
tried to identify the key ele-
ments of our town that must be
nurtured as we move into the
future.
Nominations remain open,
but the key characteristics thus
far identified are affordable
housing for all, a useful range
of mobility options, pushing
back on climate change, and
financial stability at city hall.
We’ve had good conversations
about all four, although much
work remains to translate the
thinking into action plans.
For the next forum, we’re
trying a different tack. We’ve
noted that sometimes even a
well-conceived project, one that
incorporates all four elements,
still runs into opposition when
residents decide the proposal
“doesn’t feel like Petaluma.”
We can hopefully benefit from
exploring that concern and
discussing how to address it.
So, for the three Saturdays
beginning Sept. 30, we’ll con-
duct walking and biking tours
through various districts of
Petaluma to explore why we
love Petaluma.
The tours, for which the
number of participants will
be strictly limited, will be
planned and guided by experts
on elements of our town from
architectural heritage to social
interactions. The facilitators
will seek a blend of education
and interaction among the
participants about how Peta-
luma works and what makes it
special.
After the tours are complete,
we’ll gather on Monday, Oct. 16
to share lessons learned. We all
hope to come away with more
finely-tuned senses of why we
love Petaluma.
Check petalumaurbanchat.
com to learn the tour lineup
once it is announced, and
please participate with Know
Before You Grow in our shared
journey to sustain and to en-
hance Petaluma.

Just
another
game?
I
t’s just another football
game. If you believe that,
I have some ocean-front
property in Iowa I would like to
sell you. The Egg Bowl is back
and people who get excited
over things like high school
football are on a I-can’t-wait
countdown.
Although Petaluma and Casa
Grande are not in the same
league or the same North Coast
Section division, the game is a
big one as they look down the
line to playoff seeding or even
making the playoffs. The goal
is always to win league, but
when it comes to the post-sea-
son playoffs, every game is
vital in terms of qualifying,
and in terms of seeding. The
outcome of Saturday’s game
could well determine if either
team gets a home game or trav-
els in the playoffs.
Of course, the Egg Bowl is
much more than a W or L, no
matter how important that
might be. Anytime Petaluma
plays Casa Grande in anything,
from Scrabble to basketball,
it is bigger than the game.
Earlier this fall, the rivals met
on the volleyball court before
a nearly full side of the Casa
gym before a wildly enthusias-
tic crowd of rooters from both
sides of town.
When the game is football,
the crowd and enthusiasm
can be multiplied and then
squared.
The last game between Casa
Grande and Petaluma varsity
football teams was played in
2011.
Now it is back. It would not
be accurate to say it is back
bigger and better than ever.
There have been some great
games with huge significance
played since the first game
between Casa and Petaluma
was played in 1974 and the first
official “Egg Bowl” was played
in 1993.
I don’t like to admit I’m old,
but I was at that first game 43
years ago. Newbie Casa Grande
won, 9-0, in what still stands as
one of the biggest upsets in the
rivalry.
Things are different this
year. The game is more of an
event, with the emphasis on
community activities before
and at halftime. Players from
both schools have joined in
community service leading
up to the game. It seems to be
working. I’ve noticed much
more harmony than I’ve some-
times seen in past years among
not only the players, but also
the fans. There will always be a
freeway between east and west,
but there doesn’t have to be
animosity.
That doesn’t mean the game
won’t be spirited.
Players from both sides know
one another; some of them
are good friends. But, there is
something bigger than a win or
a loss on the line — pride. There
is school pride, team pride and
individual pride.
Win and that sweet taste
lingers in your mouth like
homemade ice cream, lose and
you will belch burning chili for
weeks.
You can take bets that before
the end of the first quarter of
the first basketball meeting
between the rivals from the
football winners’ bleachers
will come: Egg Bowl! Egg Bowl!
Egg Bowl!
In these days of threatened
nuclear war, earthquakes,
floods and hurricanes, a
football game is really a very
insignificant event.
But for one special Saturday,
that insignificant event will be
huge in a small Southern Sono-
ma County community.

Playing for pride
Petaluma, Casa Grande resume storied football rivalry on Saturday

hat might be the biggest sport-
ing event held in Petaluma in
the past seven years happens
Saturday afternoon on the Casa Grande
High School football field when Petalu-
ma and Casa Grande high schools kick
off the 2017 Community Egg Bowl.
The football game between the Gau-
chos and Trojans dates back to 1974. The
contest between the rivals was officially
dubbed the Egg Bowl in 1993. It was
suspended following a contentious 2011
game, and finally reinstated and rein-
vented this year with an emphasis on
“community,” sportsmanship and unity.
Players from both teams have joined
in several joint community-service
projects, including clearing hay bales
following the Rivertown Revival and
helping out at the Petaluma Educational
Foundation’s big PEF Bash.
According to the coaches, Denis
Brunk at Casa Grande and Rick Krist at
Petaluma, the players have bought into
the community aspect.
“I see a lot of good will coming from
the kids,” Krist says. “They’re the ones
who will keep things in perspective.”
“Football is a competitive sport, but it
is a community event and our kids have
bought into that,” Brunk says.

ARGUS-COURIER STAFF
Former Casa Grande High School foot-
ball player Weston Bryan did some exten-
sive research on the Egg Bowl following
the announcement that the game would be
“put on hold” at the end of the 2011 contest.
Among his findings:
■ The first game between Casa Grande
and Petaluma was played in 1974 and won
by Casa Grande, 9-0, but Petaluma won 14
of the next 18 games through 1992.
■ In 1993, the game was first called the
Egg Bowl. It was won by Petaluma, 27-13.
■ From 1988 through 1997, Petaluma
won 10 straight games, including five
straight after it was officially titled the Egg
Bowl.
■ Casa Grande won five straight games
from 2003 through 2007, and the Gauchos
won the last two before the game was put
on hold.
■ The first four games between the two
teams were all shutouts, with Petaluma
following Casa Grande’s initial 9-0 win with
27-0, 16-0 and 28-0 victories.
■ The most lopsided Egg Bowl occurred
in 1996 when Petaluma beat Casa Grande,
57-0. The closest game was Casa Grande’s
3-0 win over Petaluma in 2004.
Egg Bowl live (hopefully) on Trojan Live
ARGUS-COURIER STAFF
Fans who can’t get to the Egg Bowl in
person can catch all the action via the
Petaluma Trojan Live YouTube channel
— hopefully.
Plans are for the school’s TV journal-
ism’s new sports department to stream
both the varsity and junior varsity games
live on the school’s YouTube channel.
To be successful will take some
ingenuity. According to Griffin Epstein,
who heads the sports department,
first efforts to broadcast from the Casa
Grande field were unsuccessful because
there isn’t a strong enough bandwidth at
the Casa field.
Griffin has a plan to connect at the Casa
gym and run cables to the football field,
but will have to wait to see if it works.

Late Casa Grande rally not enough to prevent loss

Gauchos fall to 0-2 despite
late TDs against San Marin
By LUKE STRAUB
FOR THE ARGUS-COURIER
Casa Grande rallied late against San
Marin on Friday night but couldn’t stop
the Mustangs from making big plays, and
the Gauchos lost their first home game
under new head coach Denis Brunk, 45-26.
The Gauchos scored two unanswered
touchdowns in the final quarter, and
trailed by 13 points with 6 minutes left
to play, only to allow a kickoff return for
a San Marin score. Another late touch-
down by the Mustangs put the game
away for good, and Casa Grande’s record
fell to 0-2.
Kenneth Fitzgerald ran for 74 yards
and Jance Offermann completed 21 of 44
pass attempts for 264 yards for the Gau-
chos. Offermann had three touchdown
throws, one each to Isaiah Cappelen,
Nate Busse and Josh Grayson.
But Casa Grande failed on two fourth-
down attempts in the red zone, including
a fourth-and-3 try from San Marin’s
10-yard line to close the first half. The
Gauchos had several long drives that
produced zero points.
Casa Grande’s defense couldn’t contain
San Marin’s Jahmal Changeux, who ran
for 202 yards on 19 carries with three
touchdowns. San Marin gained a lead
it wouldn’t relinquish after an 88-yard
touchdown pass from Colin Hickey to
Mitchell Timberman in the first quarter.
Coach Brunk said his team’s funda-
mentals have to improve.
“We did a lot of good things, but we
need to get better at the basics,” Brunk
said. “We need to get better at blocking
and tackling, and we’re going to work on
that this week.”
Casa Grande did have an early lead,
however. After a San Marin field goal, the
Gauchos drove 80 yards in a penalty-lad-
en drive that ended with a 28-yard touch-
down pass from Offermann to Cappelen.
Casa missed the extra point, but led 6-3.
Penalties by San Marin and strong

and the offense a short field, but it

couldn’t capitalize. San Marin got the
ball back, and Timberman’s 88-yard
catch and run gave the Mustangs the lead
again.
After a Casa Grande punt pushed
San Marin back to its own 35-yard line,
the Gauchos caught a bad break. Casa
Grande’s Braeden Chadwick forced a

fumble after a long Mustang run, but
the ball bounced off the turf and into the
arms of a San Marin player and he ran
into the end zone from 32 yards out.
Consecutive short punts by the Gau-
chos gave the Mustangs great field po-
sition, and Changeux finished a 30-yard
drive with a rushing touchdown that
pushed Casa Grande’s deficit to 24-6.
Casa looked determined to score again
before halftime, but a 14-play drive ended
with an incomplete pass to Dominic
Mchale in the end zone.
The Gauchos’ third quarter was
marked by sustained drives by its offense
that resulted in no points, and more
short punts. The defense contained San
Marin’s attack until Changeux broke free
for an 84-yard touchdown run.
Casa Grande was on the move to start
the fourth quarter, though, and this time
it converted. Touchdown passes from
Offermann to Grayson and then Busse
cut San Marin’s lead to 31-18.
But San Marin answered with a kickoff
return for a touchdown by Marco Di-
mare, and Offermann threw an intercep-
tion deep in his own territory on Casa
Grande’s next possession that set the
table for another San Marin touchdown.
Jadon Bosarge got some late playing
time at quarterback for the Gauchos and
completed a touchdown pass to Busse.
Bosarge ran around the left side of the
defense for a 2-point conversion to end
the scoring for both teams.
Brunk said Offermann did a good job,
but needs to read the defense better.
“That’s a basic thing, too, we need to
work on his reads and check downs and
that’s the basics that go right along with
tackling and blocking.” Brunk said.
Jack Leonetti and Chadwick stood out
on both sides of the ball for the Gauchos.
Leonetti intercepted a San Marin pass in
the first half.
Casa Grande linebacker Jordan Gr-
amajo recorded a quarterback sack, and
Jack Green forced a fumble that Aaron
Krupinsky recovered. The recovery led
to the first of Casa Grande’s fourth-quar-
ter touchdowns.
Brunk said his team needs to play
faster on defense, and execute better on
offense to improve and earn its first win
of the season.
Casa Grande’s next opportunity for
victory is Saturday at home vs. Petaluma
in the first Egg Bowl since 2011.
“We’re going back to the basics this
week,” Brunk said. “We’re going to grind
and get better.”

Petaluma rallies
late for wild win
over Terra Linda
In a battle of Trojans,
Sonoma County team
overcomes 5 fumbles
By GEORGE HAIRE
FOR THE ARGUS-COURIER
After trailing for most
of the game, the Petaluma
Trojans scored twice in the
late minutes to overhaul
Terra Linda, 52-44, in an
entertaining scoring fest
on Saturday afternoon in
Marin County.
The turnover-filled
contest was nearly bobbled
away by the visiting Tro-
jans, who lost the ball five
times to set up Terra Linda
scoring drives. Petaluma
trailed, 28-20, at halftime
and twice fell behind by
a couple of touchdowns
before rallying behind its
hard-working offensive
line to eventually pull it
out.
“We have to improve
each week, but I don’t
think we did today,” said
Trojan coach Rick Krist.
“The second half was
much better for us because
of the play of our offensive
front. Our kids won the
battle up front.”
“It’s all about momen-
tum. We can enjoy this one
for a while, but our team
will have to play much bet-
ter if we expect to compete
with Casa Grande next
week. We did a great job
coming back.”
Terra Linda struck early
on a 76-yard run by Kobe
Johnson and a touchdown
toss by lefty Matt Peters
to take a 14-0 first-quar-
ter lead over the stunned
visitors before Petaluma
was able to settle in and
exchange scores for the
rest of the game.
The contest settled into
big plays by Terra Linda
against the time-consum-
ing short gainers by the
visiting Trojans. Johnson
had 153 yards rushing for
Terra Linda and Peters
tacked on 136 through the
air.
Petaluma completely
controlled the time of
possession as quarterback
Justin Wolbert and run-
ning back Jacob Rollstin
punched out short gainers
that produced first downs
to move the chains.
Rollstin had huge
numbers with five rushing
touchdowns on 129 yards
on the ground. Wolbert led
Petaluma with 155 yards
when Terra Linda failed to
read the Trojan quarter-
back keepers.
Terra Linda main-
tained a one-touchdown
advantage at 44-36, but
the wheels came off when
Peters went to the well too
often in the last 12 min-
utes.
Twice the Terra Linda
lefty threw into heavy cov-
erage, and both times the
ball was tipped by onrush-
ing Trojans into critical
interceptions that set up
the biggest offensive plays
of the day by Petaluma.
Isaiah Blomgren picked off
the first one.

them both, falling to St.
Bernard’s, 42-14, and San
Marin, 45-18.
Krist is quick to warn
not to write the Gauchos
off because of the record.
“Their record doesn’t re-
flect the kind of team they
are,” the Petaluma coach
says. “They have played
two really good teams.
They have some good ath-
letes, and we are going to
have to step up our game
to win.”
Although Petaluma won
and Casa Grande lost last
week, it was Brunk who
was most pleased with his
team’s play.
“We had a lot of turn-
overs (five),” Krist points
out of Petaluma’s play in
the win over Terra Linda.
“Overall, it was not our
finest effort.”
Brunk was more pleased
with the Gauchos, despite
the loss to San Marin.
“We are getting better,”
he says. “Our offense is
starting to click. We expect
to get better week-to-week
and it was nice to see us
progress. It is cool that the
players are beginning to
get it.”
To stop Petaluma, the
Gauchos are not only
going to have to get it, they
are going to have to do it,
particularly on defense,
where they made strides
last week, but have still
given up 87 points in two
games and will be facing a
team that is averaging 50
points a game.
The Trojans are a
running team using
a triple-option attack
expertly administered
by senior quarterback
Justin Wolbert as the key
to the assault. Last week,
Wolbert “read” the Terra
Linda defense to the tune
of 369 rushing yards,
leading the way with 155
yards of his own. Fullback
Jacob Rollstin, the team
workhorse, added 129
yards. The two mainstays
are supplemented by a
variety of complementary
halfback speedsters.
“They will put a lot of
pressure on our defensive
line,” says Brunk.

Keeping your eyes on the ball
Aqus Cafe owner
brings juggling to
Spring Hill middle
school students

T
he Spring Hill School middle
school program was thrilled
to welcome John Crowley to
campus recently. Crowley is the owner
of Aqus Café, explains school spokes-
person Don Lewis. The collaboration
between the school and community
member is providing a program to
help Spring Hill students develop a
fun skill that not only teaches coor-
dination and concentration but also
helps with teamwork — juggling.
Under Crowley’s guidance, students
made their own set of four juggling
balls and then practiced juggling with
a partner. “Students had a wonderful
time with basic juggling skills, and
are excited for this ongoing program,”
shares Lewis.

DOGGED PURSUIT: Students at
Mary Collins School have all read
it. Now it’s time to let the dogs out
with a summer-ending party.
Students celebrate a year
of summer reading (with the
help of a dog named Winn
Dixie): For the students of Mary
Collins at Cherry Valley Charter
School, the last few months will
be remembered as the Summer
of Winn Dixie. That’s the book —
the modern dog-and-kid classic,
“Because of Winn Dixie,” by
novelist Kate DiCamillo — the
kids have spent the summer
reading. This Friday, they will be
celebrating, and sharing favorite
moments from the book, at a
special event organized, in part,
by school librarian April Derby.
“We are hosting a ‘Because of
Winn Dixie’ party and barbe-
cue,” Derby wrote in to The
Buzz, “complete with live char-
acters from the book making
guest appearances — and even
the dog Winn Dixie.” In the eve-
ning, the school will be screen-
ing the 2005 movie adaptation
of the book. “This is such a neat
event for so many reasons,”
Derby said. “Especially because
the books were purchased with
grant monies received from
The Rotary Club of Petaluma
Foundation, and Friends of
the Cherry Valley Library.”
According to Derby, those 200
copies of “Winn Dixie” will now
be passed along to three other
schools in the district, for the
reading pleasure of other stu-
dents throughout the 2017-2018
school year. Added Derby, “It’s
a win-win for so many children
in Petaluma!”

Jana McClelland to be
honored by Harvest Fair as
Outstanding Young Farmer
of 2017: From the age of 5,
when Petaluma native Jana Mc-
Clelland was given her first calf
(named Essey), she has known
she wanted to be a farmer. To
stockpile money for college, she
raised bull calves, and eventual-
ly obtained a BA in Agriculture
from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Since graduation, she’s been
running the family dairy farm
alongside her parents as a full
partner in the business. Having
transitioned to organic farming
in the 2000s, the farm — with
McClelland’s enthusiasm —
now observes sustainable
farming practices. Eventually,
McClelland hopes to create
a non-profit organizations
dedicated to the education of
farmers and the public around
issues of organic and sustain-
able agriculture. Because of her
commitment to local farm-
ing, this year’s Harvest Fair
(running Oct. 6-8 at the Sonoma
County Fairgrounds in Santa
Rosa) will be honoring McClel-
land as its 2017 Outstanding
Young Farmer. A special dinner
and celebration will take place
on Oct. 1, at Luther Burbank

Craft beer fest on tap again
Ale’s well and good as riverside brewing event hops into its 5th year
THAT THING YOU BREW: Beer of all styles will be flowing this weekend at the Petaluma River Craft Beer Festival, with music, food, beer and friendly neighbors.
By CLARK MILLER
FOR THE ARGUS-COURIER
T
he 5th Annual Petaluma River
Craft Beer Festival on Sept. 16
gives both craft-beer neophytes
and connoisseurs a chance to experience
the exploding North Bay brew scene, in
tandem with some of the tastiest local
food in Petaluma.
“This is a more intimate event than
many beer festivals,” said Onita Pel-
legrini, CEO of the Petaluma Chamber
of Commerce, “because we limit ticket
sales to about 1,200 — which is why we
usually sell out.” She said the downtown
riverfront setting enhances the experi-
ence for locals and visitors alike. “And
the single $40 price is a plus because it
covers both beer tastings and food — and
the food portions are very nice.”
General admission includes a souve-
nir glass and ten tickets for beer or food
tastings. Dedicated Driver tickets are
available for $20, for which you receive
six tickets for food, plus free coffee, tea
and lemonade.
The event is sponsored by the Peta-
luma Area Chamber of Commerce and
the Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley. All
proceeds will benefit river projects, local
non-profits, special Petaluma Chamber
programs, and Rotary’s youth and edu-
cation programs.
“Our city’s downtown riverfront
setting for the festival is amazing,” said

E
ver since family patriarch Nazzareno
and his wife Anna — together with
their son Joseph and daughter Palmi-
na — moved to Petaluma 70 years ago,
closely followed by sons Geno and Dovilio
(Dovey) and their young families, there has
been a Lombardi family-operated business
in these parts. Working closely together,
the cohesive Lombardi clan staffed a once
popular downtown men’s clothing store
and Lombardi’s Market, in Cotati.
Following a
delightful conversa-
tion with 95-year-old
Ruth Lombardi, who
is the last surviv-
ing member of the
original generation
of business-minded
and family-oriented
siblings and their
Harlan families, I’ve become
Osborne aware how vital the
combination of busi-
ness and family can be.
A native of Stambaugh, Michigan, a
small community that later consolidated
with the mining town of Iron River, Ruth
was one of three children. At times, during
the Great Depression, life was challenging
and money was short. The iron ore mines
closed, food was rationed and work was
provided by the WPA. Fortunately, Ruth
prepared for the future by attending busi-
ness school in Chicago. A future she never
could have imagined began one night while
she was visiting a bowling alley in Iron
River, when she was asked by a handsome
stranger, Geno Lombardi, if he could buy

this weekend, on Water St. at the Petaluma River
Libby FitzGerald of the Craft Beer Fest
Committee of the Petaluma Valley Ro-
tary Club. “You’ve got Petaluma’s oldest
buildings, the cobblestones, the railroad
tracks and the river.”
The festival will feature tastings from
twenty-one local breweries, all but six
located in Sonoma County, plus two
local makers of hard cider. There will be
fourteen local food vendors.
FitzGerald said the public can antic-
ipate more food options this year than
previously, including samplings from a
new restaurant and one that hasn’t even
opened yet. “It’s a fabulous group of food
vendors,” she said.

Pete (John Maher the piano player, a
familiar figure in downtown Petaluma);
Randy & the Special Agents, a Sonoma
County blues band; and Sugar Moon, a
swing band whose repertoire includes

“We will feature a couple of our ‘Lim-

of Seismic Brewing Company, referring
to beers brewed in one batch and sold as
draft only. “These beers mostly stay here

Bear Republic will bring Double
Aught (Bohemian Pilsner) and Hop
Shovel (American IPA), according to
Drey Meyers, event coordinator.
Ken Weaver, author of The Northern
California Craft Beer Guide, says the
event is an opportunity for both the
newly curious and experienced beer
tasters. He recommends that the former
group pay particular attention to brew-

made into a 1989 cult-classic miniseries (starring Tim

vivid memories from his years as a faithful

annual Petaluma Poetry Walk, taking place for its
22nd straight year this Sunday, Sept. 17, beginning
at noon. One of Vartnaw’s favorite memories is
from one particular Poetry Walk, eight years ago.
“It’s a memory of seeing the poet David Meltzer
at the Aqus Café,” he recalls. “Specifically, it’s
when David performed his poem ‘Brother.’ Fortu-
nately, we caught it on film, and it’s online on the
Poetry Walk website. It’s an amazing poem, and an
amazing performance.”
Meltzer came to fame as a poet during the Beat

grandmoms hauling their
family’s youngsters to the
movies for another look
at everybody’s favorite
shipwrecked alien.
The story has become
so familiar that even those
gentle, plant-loving alien is
accidentally left behind by
his crew, and is befriended
by a lonely boy named
Elliot, and his brother and
sister. Eventually, as the
rubbery, Reese’s Pieces-ad-
dicted stranger attempts to
rig a way to let his fellow
space creatures know
where he is, government
alien-catchers descend on
Elliot’s home, leading to
one of the best flying-bi-
cycle chase sequences
every put on film. The
sailing-across-the-moon
shot has, in fact, gone on
to become one of the most
recognizable and frequent-
ly counterfeited images in
movie-making history.
When initially released,
the bittersweet science-fic-
tion fantasy quickly be-
came the highest grossing
film of all time, taking the
title of box office champ
from 1977’s “Star Wars,”
which had taken the honor
from Spielberg’s 1976
“Jaws.” Critics tied their
typewriters in knots trying
to capture in words the
film’s unexpected colli-
sion of humanity, horror,
heartbreak and wonder.
Todd McCarthy, of Variety,
MOON SHOT: Where were you when E.T. and Elliot first flew across
the moon in 1982? The classic film returns to the big screen for two
days only this week. It’s definitely going to “be good.”
wrote, “It’s been said that
the only people who don’t
like Disneyland are late
adolescents who feel too
hip to enjoy the pleasures
of their earlier years, and
the same will probably
hold true for “E.T.”” Mar-
tin Kent, of the Hollywood
Reporter, said, “Amid the
wonder, excitement and
joy that virtually every
frame of this picture
elicits — swept along by
John Williams’ playful
and uplifting score — one
really does fall in love with
the delightful little alien,
and indeed, finds oneself
reaching for the handker-
chief (and realizing it, but
not minding, upon later
reflection) right on cue.”
And Michael Sragow,
writing for the Rolling
Stone, enthused ecstati-
cally, “We are invited into
a magical hall of mirrors,
as we watch E.T. watch the
children watching him.”
In the years since,
numerous films have
attempted to capture the
same troubled-kid-meets-
lost-alien magic of “E.T.”,
but only a few – Disney’s
“Lilo and Stitch,” Brad
Bird’s “The Iron Giant,”
Joe Dante’s “Gremlins” –
have succeeded.
Interestingly enough,
“E.T.: The Extraterres-
trial” stands as one of
Spielberg’s only major hits
to have never spawned a
sequel. Not that it wasn’t
original release of “E.T.,”
screenwriter Melissa
Mathison and Spielberg
collaborated on a treat-
ment for an “E.T.” spinoff,
with the unpromising
title of “E.T. II: Nocturnal
Fears.” The treatment – a
brief outline of the story,
which has been much
disseminated on the
internet over the years –
couldn’t be more different
than the sweet, magical
storytelling of the first
film. In the sequel, a band
of carnivorous mutant
aliens — a twisted, cruel
version of the species
E.T. represents – land on
Earth and commit cattle
mutilations. Eventually,
Elliot – whose mom is now
dating “Keys,” the scien-
tist played by Peter Coyote
in the first film — and his
brother and sister (and
bicycle-riding friends), are
kidnapped and tortured by
the aliens, until E.T., who
still seems to be keeping
his mind-meld connection
with Elliot, answers the
The treatment’s final
paragraph concludes the
stunningly tone-deaf tale
like this:
“There is HOPE in
everyone’s eyes, as they all,
again, behold the pictur-
esque departure of their
favorite alien. Dreams CAN
come true! THE END.”
Needless to say, that
film was never made. In-
stead, “E.T.” was allowed
to stand on its own as
a unique, indelible and
long-lasting testament
to the loneliness and
hopefulness of childhood.
With the help of Fathom
Events – which has built a
business around rereleas-
ing classic movies to the
big screen – E.T. is coming
back home where he be-
longs - in an actual movie
theater, where that ride
across the moon will once
again be as big, beautiful
and unforgettable as it was
the first time.

very explicit or explain too much. It
mentions war, in a way, but it could
have been about any war, or taken
place at any time. It’s a very strong
poem, and I’ll never forget seeing its
writer perform it in his own voice.
“We lost him, last year,” Vartnaw
adds, in reference to Meltzer’s sud-
den death, in Oakland, on December
21 of 2016.
That’s part of the importance of
the Petaluma Poetry Walk, he points
out. The unique literary event – in
which attendees move throughout
the downtown area from venue to
venue, meeting new poets at every
fresh location - allows rising new-
comers to perform alongside greats
like Meltzer, reminding poetry
fans young and old how powerful
a well-performed poem can be. In
some cases, those performances
become part of a legendary poet’s
legacy.
The Petaluma Poetry Walk was
founded by former Sonoma County
Poet Laureate poet Geri Digiorno,
back in 1995, before Vartnaw himself
had moved to Petaluma.
“I was living in San Francisco,
and moved up here in 1997,” Vart-
naw says. “I didn’t even know about
the Poetry Walk till the next year. I
went, and was just dazzled by it. All
of these great poets together in one
town, on one afternoon. Then, some-
time after, I asked if I could help.
And I’ve been involved ever since.”
Every Poetry Walk, since the
beginning, has featured between 20
and 25 poets, performing in venues
as varied as bookstores and bars,
restaurants and art galleries and
seed stores, sidewalks and back al-
leys and museums and barbershops.
The performers have included fa-
mous legends, and emerging future
superstars, poets from Petaluma
and the wider Sonoma County stand
alongside writers from San Fran-
cisco, and beyond. Not surprisingly,
a number of Sonoma County poets
laureate have participated in the
Poetry Walk.
This year, Vartnaw has invited all
of the living laureates.
“Including myself,” he says. Vart-
naw was, indeed, named the Sonoma
County Poet Laureate for 2012-2013.
Performing at this year’s Walk will
be Gwynn O’Gara (poet laureate
2010-2011), Terry Ehret (2004-2006),
Iris Jamahl Dunkle (the current
poet laureate), and Poetry Walk
founder Geri DiGiorno (2006-2007).
Other poets on the roster include
wildlife biologist and poet Maya R.
Khosla (author of “Song of the For-
est After Fire”), Sebastopol-based
environmental poet Raphael Block
(“Spangling Darkness”), Santa
Rosa’s Ed Coletti (“Germs, Viruses
& Catechisms”), onetime cowboy,
tree-planter, and 1960s Berkeley
“street poet” Jampa Dorje, and
many more.
With new venues, and a few more
poets than in the past, he Poet-
ry Walk has become a bit longer,
under Vartnaw’s guidance, allowing
attendees more opportunities to see
more poets. He admits that there was
concern that eight hours of poetry
might be too much for some people.
“That’s fine,” he laughs. “People
may not want to do the whole thing.
They can start, and then leave after
a few venues, or jump in later, or
pick and choose throughout the day.
This ways, though, it gives people
more choices.
With another laugh, he adds,“I do
the whole thing, of course.”

boys. Ruth did the sewing
and the alterations, and
for years she pegged the
pants of nearly every
style-conscious teenage
boy who purchased a pair

of Levi’s from the store.
Lillian Lombardi, Dovey’s
wife, worked as a sales
clerk, and his sister Polly
(Parker) was designated
the bookkeeper. Joseph
Lombardi, who enjoyed
the grocery business, ran
Lombardi’s Market.
For many years, an
attraction that drew
curious onlookers of all
ages to Lombardi’s was
the eye-catching display
of detailed, hand-crafted
wood carvings of the Old
West that lined its walls.
The intriguing collec-
tion began when retired
railroad worker William
Caldwell started bringing
carved carts and wagons,
buffalo and cattle, goats,
dogs and chickens to the
store. Highlighted by
a carved 20-mule-team
pulling a borax wagon,
the collection grew to 109
carefully crafted pieces,
before Mr. Caldwell passed
away. Following the clos-
ing of the apparel store the
Lombardi family donated
the entire collection to the
Petaluma Historical Li-
brary and Museum, which
is planning to feature it in
a future exhibit.
When the brothers
started buying their own
family homes, they contin-
ued to stay close together
by purchasing a group of
adjoining properties that
occupied the same block
along Vallejo St., Marin
Way and Averye Way.
After buying five of the
six homes that sat on one
block, the Lombardis re-
moved the backyard fences
and built a structure be-
hind 706 Marin Way, which
they called the “Cantina,”
where every festive family
event and holiday celebra-
tion was shared together.

When she and her hus-
band were building their
rural “retirement” home,
they were sure to include
a woodshop where Geno,
who passed away in 1999,
refinished antiques and
built homemade furniture.
The home also provides
a showcase for Ruth’s
antique clock collection,
which started through
a family friendship with

Food & Drink
At Sugo Trattoria, a taste of Italy
At Petaluma’s Sugo Trattoria, great service and Italian comfort food go hand-in-hand
By JULI LEDERHAUS
FOR THE ARGUS-COURIER
W
ith so many great restau-
rants in Petaluma, especially
in the Italian food category,
it is hard to pick a favorite. For us, it
usually depends on what we are in the
mood for at that particular time.
When we’re in the mood for Italian
comfort food, we tend to think of Sugo.
There is something about this cozy
little restaurant that just feels right. It
almost feels like walking in the front
door of a friend’s home, with a two-
tiered dining and kitchen area and a
small patio out front.
We have never entered this restau-
rant without being greeted right away
— usually by multiple folks who sing
out their greeting and get you seated
right away — as long as there are
available seats of course.
As soon as you are seated, a small
wooden tray of delicious bread ap-
pears, and there are bottles of olive oil
and balsamic on your table for dipping
as you choose. In the current restau-
rant climate of bread service that
comes with a hefty price tag, it is lovely
to find a nice restaurant that under-
stands how off-putting charging for
bread is to many restaurant customers.
Clearly Annette and Peter get it
when it comes to how to run a restau-
rant to make the customer feel happy.
One of the dishes we always order is
their Bruschetta Trio. There are nine
different kinds to choose from. We
have tried them all, and each one is
delicious. The last time we were there
we had the prosciutto, housemade fig
jam and brie; the warm artichoke and
walnut pesto; and the classic tomato,
pesto, mozzarella and basil.
You could make a meal out of just
this one category of items, and at only
$8.50 for three, you won’t spend much
for this very high quality dish.
The item on my must-order list
is the housemade pappardelle with
rotisserie chicken, pistachios, wild
mushrooms and spicy broth. When I
tell people about this dish, sometimes
I sense push back because of the word
“spicy,” but honestly it is very mildly
spiced, and not at all what I would
consider “hot” except by the tempera-
ture.
It is comfort food of the first order
of magnitude, with its handmade
silky smooth pasta — pappardelle are
wide-cut egg noodles and these are
Here’s how to use those abundant tomatoes
T
he markets are at the height of the
year right now, with many more
farms being represented at the
farmers markets.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes of every ilk — from cherry
to beefsteak, field to gorgeous heirlooms
— are all there. Since everyone seems to
love this fruit/vegetable,
I won’t offer any partic-
ular suggestions beyond
this one.
If tomatoes are too
abundant in your
kitchen, simply take the
stem/core off of them,
and put them in your
Juli super blender (this does
Lederhaus take a really strong
blender like a VitaMix).
If you have one that you can easily do
great smoothies in, that should handle
this process.

so thin you know they are made right
there. The chicken, mushrooms and
pistachios add just the right amount
of varying textures to make the dish
interesting. Because of the use of a
light broth instead of sauce, and the
addition of those certain ingredients, I
always feel somewhat virtuous when I
order it, because it just feels healthy.

them into a big stainless steel pot, add
a touch of garlic if you like, and cook
them at a good boil for about 20 minutes.
Then can them as you would any
other tomato product. This method is far
easier than the old “peel, pack and can”
method, and let’s face it, the majority
of our uses for canned tomatoes wind
up having them turn into some kind
of sauce. You will have that fabulous
taste of wonderful summer tomatoes all
winter long.

Salads are done just right here, with
the proper ratio of dressing to ingredi-
ents, nicely tossed, and with well-bal-
anced ingredients to provide exactly
the kind of refreshment one wants in
a salad meal.
Another favorite is the risotto.

Seedless Concord grapes
This is a relatively new grape, and so
lovely. If all you know about Concord
grapes is that you find lots of big seeds
and inedible skins, think again. This
newer variety has great bold grape-jelly
flavor, but none of the drawbacks of the
original. I rarely see these in grocery
stores, but the farmers markets do have
them for a short period of time right
about now. They are worth seeking out,
and just enjoying out of hand.
Because of their great flavor and seed-
less quality you can use them to make
a wonderful grape pie or tart. Another
lovely way to use them would be to make
a salsa using some sweet onion, grapes,
cilantro and as much of a hot pepper as
you care for. Finish it with some fresh
lime juice and enjoy it on a piece of
broiled chicken or fish for a perfectly

is one of our favorites. The seared
scallops on this dish were enormous,
properly seared and very fresh. One
cannot ask for a better dish, and at
only $15 it is the bargain of Petaluma.
If you enjoy beef, and like it raw,
then the carpaccio at Sugo is the dish
for you. Thinly sliced raw beef fillet
dressed with EVOO, shaved Parmesan
cheese, and capers, and served with a
lightly dressed field greens salad is a
perfect rendition of this classic Italian
appetizer.
We went there one night with our
little dog, and sat on their pet-friendly
patio. A bowl of water was swiftly
provided for our furry friend, and
the staff members were very accom-
modating when fellow patrons were
doting over our little dog while she did
some tricks for them. This caring at-
titude is the difference between being
pet-friendly and pet-tolerant as some
restaurants can be.
One night we went there with two
exchange students, one from Para-
guay and the other from Taiwan. The
server was extraordinarily helpful in
guiding these two teens from other
countries to dishes they knew they
would enjoy. In our opinion, it is this
professionally proffered service that
sets Sugo apart from so many other
restaurants.
Desserts at Sugo are made from
scratch right there, and it shows in
how fresh they are. Most recently, we
tried the lavender panna cotta with
fresh berries. It was delicious and was
a great sense-of-place dessert with the
use of lavender that we see growing
abundantly here in Sonoma County.
Sugo is located at 5 Petaluma Blvd.

movie theater. There is some limited
off-street parking, quite a lot of street
parking, and two parking garages

PUZZLE ANSWER
Market Continued from D1
light, healthy and yummy summer-
time dish.
Specialty garlic
If you pay close attention you
will find a broad spectrum of garlic
types in the farmers markets. This
garlic is like nothing you will find
in the grocery store, and very worth
seeking out. I recently bought three
different varieties from two differ-
ent growers (Leisen’s and Kraut’s
Sunset Ranch) and did them as a fun
starter for two small dinner parties.
The appetizer was a roasted garlic
tasting. To roast whole heads of gar-
lic, you simply trim the tops off flat
so you expose each “toe” of garlic,
drizzle them with a little olive oil,
salt and pepper, and then put in a
small baking dish, and cover tightly
with tin foil. They are baked at 300
degrees for an hour for sweetly
perfect soft spreadable garlic. The
trickiest part of this was keeping
track of which one was which, but
that turned out not to be too prob-
lematic because they really did look
different once I cut the tops off.
We tasted Spanish, Siberian and
California garlic from Leisen’s (at
the Tuesday market on N. McDow-
ell) and German Red, Metechi, and
Georgia Fire grown by Rick Krout of
Krout’s Sunset Ranch in Sebastopol
(at the Saturday market at Walnut
Park.) They were all lovely, and
each had their own nuanced flavor.
I served them on thin toasts made
from a sourdough baguette.
Another way to taste garlic is to
serve them raw, cut in half with the
skins still on the toes, to rub on the
same kinds of toasts. You will get
the full taste of the raw garlic, and
can decide for yourself, which you
like best for things like traditional
bruschetta, salsa or aioli.
Armenian cucumbers
They are very pale green, very
curvy and ridged. You can eat the
whole thing, which is lovely, since
that way you can maintain the nice
scalloped shape of the slices in this
variety. You can use them any way
you would ordinary cucumbers,
but you will find the taste just a bit
different.
One way I like to serve cucumbers
which always surprises people is to
seed them, cut them into about one-
inch chunks, and sauté them quick-
ly in a little butter. Finish them with
some dill weed — fresh is lovely but
dried words too, and serve them
as a hot vegetable. This would be a
good one to do that with because you
could surprise your dinner guests.
I found these special cucumbers at
the Saturday farmers’ market down-
town. They were grown by Petaluma
Bounty Community Farm, which is
an urban educational farm that uses
donations, grants and volunteer
workers in order to make locally
grown and sustainable produce
available to everyone by offering
reduced prices to low income Peta-
luma residents, as well as donating
food to families in need.

My friends here at SHS are
convinced that I’m part Dutch
Shepherd and part small horse.
What gave it away? The way I
gallop around the dog yard at
full speed? Yessiree Bob, a big
fella like me needs room to run!
At just 11 months young, I’m
seeking not only wide open
spaces, but a loving forever
posse to explore them with. My
ideal family will have a securely
fenced yard and the patience to
help my dignified inner gent
meet my fun-loving outer foal.
Another dog in my future home
would be welcome, as would
kids sturdy enough to match
my strong, energetic play style.

ROCKY
At just over a year old, Rocky
is hoping to find a new family to
love. He’s beautiful, smart, fun
and wonderfully friendly.
He loves playing with all sorts
of toys, snorkeling around in
the water in the kiddie pool and
working with you for treats.
He’s super smart and knows
fun cues like sit, lay down, wait,
shake and find it. He also walks
nicely on a leash. Rocky may be
a little shy at first meeting but
warms up nicely. Rocky likes
other dogs and has an energetic
friendly play style. He thinks
cats are much too interesting to
live with and would like a home
with children ages 15 and older.

SANTA
About the name…
What, you were expecting a
jolly old elf? As a shy, petite
gal, I’m not exactly jolly. At 2,
I’m not exactly old. And, in spite
of having pointed ears, any
similarities to an elf are purely
coincidental. So, about the
name. It’s the feminine version
of Santo, or saint, in Italian –
capisce? Saints are generous.
I share purrs freely. Saints are
devout. I’m devoted to naps.
Saints seek kindness. I’m
seeking a kind, gentle person
to give me a calm, safe home.
Saints are patient. I’m hoping
you’ll be patient and give me
a chance to warm up to other
pets. Lastly, saints have faith.
I have faith that you’ll be
visiting SHS to meet me today!
