Slam 2020 12 Photos courtesy of Sebastopol Senior Center Café Espresso By Brandon McCapes With over 200 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Sonoma County each day, staff and volunteers at the Feature of the week Sebastopol Senior Center have been working to keep the most vulnerable safe and connected to services throughout the pandemic. The center, which has served area seniors from North High Street in Sebastopol for 51 years, has had to adapt to the needs of its members, who are not only at higher risk of severe coronavirus infec- tions, but also suffer from lockdown-related isolation. The non-profit organization serves around 1,200 older and elderly citizens in Sebastopol, where ap- proximately one third of the population is elderly, according to Executive Director Katie Davis. Davis has been working at the Sebastopol Senior Center for over three years and transitioned into Weekly Columns the executive director role in October. When the pandemic began to spread in March, Davis said she and her colleagues decided to shut Thomas Elias 3 down days ahead of March lockdown orders in order to protect the people they serve.

Sonoma County, of which over 20 percent of the population are senior citizens, has had over 13,000 cases and 160 deaths this year, according to county data. “We knew we had a responsibility to our seniors and meeting in groups was just not recommended,” Davis said. After the lockdown, staff who weren’t furloughed sent out bulk calls to all of the 3,000 community members on its roster, which Davis said helped to reach seniors in rural areas who may not have access to modern technology. Davis said before the COVID pandemic hit, the senior center was a bustling hub for seniors in Se- bastopol and Sonoma County, providing classes and lectures, free dine-in meal services, over 3,200 ‘Senior Center’ see page 12 Sportsman’s Report 2 State keeps high school WSCUHSD Entertainment athletics in holding pattern Approves Parcel By Patrick Norton tion until after January 1, 2021, at the earliest.

PG&E uses helicopter saw to prune hard-to-reach trees This week, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) began flying a helicopter saw along electric transmission lines in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, as part of enhancing the safety and reliability of the transmission system along the North Coast. A helicopter saw, or Heli-saw, is a series of vertical circular saws suspended from a high-performance helicopter used to trim the tops and sides of trees near high voltage power lines. PG&E uses the Heli- saw in remote or hard-to-reach areas for climbing crews. It’s a safe and efficient way to prune trees in areas where snow and muddy roads make safe vehicular access a challenge, as an example. Let’s play a game The work will take place along 46 miles of power line corridors and rights of way from Fort Ross north to Gualala, Elk and up to Fort Bragg in November and December.

The Community Voice has been providing the local news, sports, entertainment to our readers and marketing tools to local busi- nesses at affordable prices. We have gone through many phases including twice a week, tabloid and more. We now have been a weekly newspaper for over 27 years taking pride in providing a crisp, quality newspaper. Since 1993, as the owner and publisher of The Community Voice (a family-owned newspaper), we have made all efforts to pro- vide the best community news possible. Other local papers have closed in Northern California over the past three months and those communities are not seeing their local news, nor having their voices heard. We are doing well and with your support we will continue to do so. With rising costs and a tumbling economy, we need to make this a subscription based newspaper. With the co-operation of U.S. Postal service offices from San Francisco, Petaluma and your own local post office in Sebastopol, we will able to get the paper delivered to you on Fridays in most cases. We thank you in advance for your support and hope you understand these changes are necessary during these challenging times.

This month I feature Lance Corporal David Munoz and his parents John and Judy Munoz. Why include families in these spotlight articles honoring children serving in the military? Families, especially parents, are a large influence for their children in making these life altering decisions. As Judy said, when a child goes off to the military, the family also becomes a military family. His parents were originally from Southern California. They moved to Santa Rosa in 2001. David grew up in Sonoma County. Although he didn’t complete high school, he attended Santa Rosa High School for his first two years, did a year of home schooling and then attended Maria Carrillo High School before dropping out. He went on to earn his General Education Development (GED) certification and attended Santa Rosa Junior College where he obtained his Associate of Arts Degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. David was living at home, working at Ike’s Sandwich Shop while attending the SRJC. In 2019, David decided he needed to do something with his life, so at age 24, January 2020, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. David shipped out to Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego. He did his basic infantry training at Camp Pendleton, CA. He is currently stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, also known as 29 Palms, in Southern California. 29 Palms is the largest USMC base in the United States. David is acting platoon sergeant for the Weapons Platoon of Baker Company 17. His military occupational specialty is 0341 which is a mortarman. His platoon is responsible for providing indirect fire support for his company. There are many reasons for joining the military. David said the prime reason for him was mostly joining to do something in his life, something in-line with his ideas, something to help him grow up. He also said, there are “days when I think it was the stupidest decision of my life, but then there are days when I find it the most amazing thing to be doing.” Overall, he felt his experience has been learning “the most defining character traits about me.” When asked why the Marines, especially the Infantry, David said “I thought if I was going to do it, I’d do it right.” He wanted to join the Marines because he wanted to be in the service that was the toughest challenge of his life.” He said other services also pro- vide educational opportunities and job skills, but “if you want to challenge yourself – consider the Marines.” David doesn’t plan to make the military a career. He said he was following a personal roadmap. That included getting his associate degree, 4-years with the Marines, then go back to school for his bachelor’s Go to BeABellRinger.org to sign up to become a volunteer degree.

The Present can be a present in itself. After my open-heart surgery, I spent a LOT of time just being. I would sit on our living room couch gazing out the window enjoying the blueness of the sky and the greenness of the hills and the feeling of being alive. I still do that a lot! We cannot time travel to the past or future, but we can take the time to embrace the present. Let’s face it, if there is anything we have now, it is time. So take some time to simply sit down and be. You’ll get to know yourself better, and discover a lot good things about you, about your life and about the people you love. It really is a nice way to spend some of your time. Wow!

‘Tax Measure’ from page 1 will trigger the qualified status of their budget, leading to a requirement for a Fiscal Recovery Plan.   
     This was the driver for considering consolidation of high schools that led to community concern and ultimately attempts to find ways other than consolidation to meet the structural deficit of the district.  
This parcel tax measure and a related Transient Occupancy Tax measure proposed for the March 2021 ballot are potential ways to bridge the immediate shortfalls and provide time and funding to look for    longer term solutions. Also, at the December 16 meeting, two new trustees will take their oath of offices, replacing Landry     
 and outgoing trustee Ted Walker. The board will reorganize and approve their meeting calendar for        2021. Finally, they will select their voting representative, and alternate, to fill vacancies on the Sonoma County Committee on School District Organization.
