• Sunday, January 29th, 2012

February holds two very important meetings for West End residents. One is about the uses of the DeTurk Round Barn and the other about an Asphalt plant- both issues can really affect the quality of life in the West End so they must be examined with care.

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. S. Diploma. This is especially wonderful because some of the Corpsmembers and staff call the West End Home. CCNB build, distribute and maintain all recycling drop off stations. They will also pick up, on a regular basis, all aluminum, glass, plastic containers and recyclable paper and cardboard deposited in the bins. Another recycle bin will be located at DeTurk Round Barn Park. http://www.conservationcorpsnorthbay.org

Unclaimed Friendly Black Cat needs a friend- Black short hair, neutered male, extraordinarily sweet and loving needs a new home. He is black, older, and has medical issues, so if he goes to animal control he will most likely be euthanized.  He is at 124 W. 6th , Call (707) 318- 2853.

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

 The birds are singing, the sun is shining… Is it winter time? Western Farm is in the news, SMART has announced that they will be able to extend the line to the Guerneville Road Station and a house of despair gets hope.

Neighbors:

Thank Goodness!  This once glorious historic building has had a very sad history of neglect and abuse. West Enders Betsy Hall and Gene Wright have purchased the house on the corner of 7th and Davis and will slowly revive the property. They plan to make it a property that will make the West End proud.  It’s a big project but it will make such a difference to this neighborhood. Thank you!

A West End house of dreams

Luther Burbank Parade Entry: A West End Neighborhood entry in the parade this year?  Deborah Crippen has a few ideas… any one else interested in getting involved? The parade is on May 19th and the theme is Rockin’ Round the Roses.

• Wednesday, December 28th, 2011
End of the World? Some folks just like to keep their mind occupied…remember Y2K? It was never the horrible thing some predicted. If you need to keep your mind occupied… clean off your desk before the New Year! Still not sure? Check out 2012: Six End-of-the-World Myths Debunked by National Geographic News. Now go out and celebrate the end of a wonderful year and the beginning of another an even better one!
