DeMeo Park Recycle Station- Conservation Corps of North Bay helps at risk youth get their lives back on track with a year’s worth of job training, work experience along with an education to get a GED or H.

I'd be a good kitty! Take me home.

The “first” Peanut statue in all of Korea. Don Taylor, owner of Railroad Square’s Omelette Express, will travel to Jeju-do, South Korea for the dedication of the first and only Snoopy statue in all of Korea. Don has been devoted to fostering the relationship with Santa Rosa’s Korean sister city, Jeju-do. This Snoopy will be placed in the main park (Citizen Welfare Park) of Jeju City. The 30” bronze Snoopy will stand on top of his Korean dog house made of black lava stone, with a red sand roof. Roses bushes will be planted next to Snoopy and a nearby walking path will be named, “Santa Rosa Way” in honor our our City. Safe travels, Don!

Snoopy in Korea

No More Railcars. The last vintage railroad car was recently removed from the SMART site. All four cars, that made their home in Railroad Square for many years, have been transported to their new home with the Timber Heritage Association. It would have delighted locals, tourists and rail enthusiasts to have the cars on display near our historic depot but dreams like these are not always financially possible. In the meantime, it is absolutely wonderful that they will be preserved and displayed by the museum. http://timberheritage.org

Mail stolen from box. A Jefferson Street neighbor reports: A neighbor told me that some of my mail was at his back door under a step. I left 6 envelopes in my mailbox at 9am to be picked up by the mailperson in the afternoon. Evidently before she arrived it was stolen. There were 5 envelops with checks in them – one recovered by the neighbor. I put a stop payment on all the checks and reported this to SRPD. It is a sad state now that I can not even leave outgoing mail in my personal mailbox on the porch. Please let others know that they may also have had outgoing mail taken from their box on Friday. Thanks Susan S Hayes

Crime Alert:

Another Garage Intruder- From a Hewett Street Neighbor: Just wanted to alert the neighborhood that someone was in our unlocked garage while we were home sometime Thursday night, and probably early Friday morning. We heard a strange noise outside around 9:30 Thursday night and we checked the yard but didn’t see anything. Then at 5:30am we saw that our shop lights were on and the side door was wide open. We think someone knocked over a bike and got scared and left because so far we haven’t seen anything missing. Remember this also happened on W. 6th Street in December- so let’s make sure our garages are locked.

CAT FOUND: Black short hair, Neutered male, very friendly at 124 W. 6^th Street. Call (707) 318- 2853 He is extraordinarily sweet and loving. If his owner is not found by the end of this month, I will need to take him in to animal control, where he will most likely be euthanized. (since he is black, older, and has medical issues).

The West End Vintage Rose garden- in spite of being uprooted and spending several months in pots- our vintage roses were replanted in their new location. They spent this year re-establishing themselves- and have been under the loving care of our W. E. Rose Garden lady Gina Stateler-Calhoun. The rose garden is bound to be lush and incredible in the upcoming season.

"Georgetown" Rose

DeTurk Round Dog Park- Well used and well loved, the dog park is a social gathering place for neighbors and other dog loving residents. There is a monthly Poodle Party and Pug Play day held at this great little park. Although the park has suffered with irrigation issues… S. R. Rec and Parks assures us that those have been fixed. Peja- the Golden Retriever and owners Cherie and Jeremy Kemp live close to the park and cheerfully spend time keeping it in order. We are fortunate that many dog park “regulars” dedicate themselves to caring for this lovely little jewel right in our own neighborhood.

Aren’t we lucky?
