Spared damage from countywide fires, Petaluma

became a refuge for nearly 2,000 fleeing deadly blazes

As fires this week raged to the
north, east and south of Petaluma,
the city, spared from the devastation
inflicted upon neighboring Sonoma
County communities, became a refuge
for those fleeing the deadly blazes.
Beginning Sunday night, Petaluma
residents nervously watched as strong
winds fanned flames in the hills of
eastern Santa Rosa, the Sonoma Val-
ley and along Highway 37.
An island sanctuary surrounded
by fire, Petalumans opened their
arms, sheltering, feeding and clothing
thousands of people forced to evacu-
ate neighboring cities. The refugees
arrived in cars and buses at shelters
around Petaluma, many having lost
everything in fires that totaled at least
100,000 acres in Sonoma County alone.
At least 21 people died in Sonoma
County and other fires in Napa and
Mendocino counties.
Jeunee Craw-Molinaro spent Mon-
day at the Lucchesi Park Community
Center, one of 10 shelters throughout
Petaluma. The Santa Rosa resident
and Petaluma preschool teacher was
one of many from the Coffey Park
neighborhood who faced an apocalyp-
tic scene left in the wake of a deadly
fire that leveled the entire district.
When she returned to where her
home had once stood, all that greeted
her was ash and the charred remains
of the stone steps that had led to her
front door.
A fire on Lakeville and Highway 37 caused road closures on Monday. The 2,000-acre

As residents from Sonoma County
impacted by widespread fires fled to Pet-
aluma in droves, animal rescue groups
and local shelters convened to care for
frightened pets.
The nonprofit Petaluma Animal
Services Foundation set up a mobile
shelter outside Lucchesi Park Commu-
nity Center to ease the burden on those
taking refuge inside. As of Wednesday
morning, the nonprofit was providing
care for 20 pets, Executive Director Jeff
Charter said.
“We take care of folk’s animals when
they’re here so they can take advantage
of the resources — get a bite to eat,
something to drink, a cup of coffee and
those kinds of things and know their
animals are safe,” Charter said Mon-
day. “We’re here to be the safety net for
the animals because in a disaster, they
tend to get lost in the shuffle sometimes,
but those of us who are animals lovers
know they’re not going to get lost in our
shuffle.”
The shelter is well-versed in disaster
response after lending a hand with the
deadly 2015 Valley fire in Lake County.
Along with several other rescue orga-
nizations, the nonprofit last week also
went to New Orleans to clear shelters

EDITORIAL
Helping fire
victims in
time of need
Petalumans’ renowned spirit of
generosity will be tested in the
weeks and months to come
W
hile Petaluma was spared
the widespread devastation
wrought by fast-moving wild-
fires that attacked our neighbors in Santa
Rosa and Sonoma Valley this week, local
residents and business owners here have
shown enormous levels of generosity and
altruism for the many hundreds of fire
victims who took refuge here. In addition
to the heroic and tireless work of our first
responders, the volunteer efforts demon-
strated by thousands of Petalumans has
been extraordinary.
Flanked by fires on three sides Mon-
day, Petaluma city officials, working
with a large contingent of volunteers,
quickly opened several shelters to res-
idents of neighboring cities fleeing the
destructive fires, taking in more than
1,600 evacuees by mid-afternoon.
The Lucchesi Community Center,
Petaluma Veterans Memorial Build-
ing, Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds, Casa
Grande High School, the Cavanaugh
Center and many local churches across
the city opened their doors to provide
food, clothing, crisis support and over-
night accommodations to people whose
homes had been turned to ash.
Local donations came in at such a rap-
id rate that by Tuesday afternoon many
shelters had more food and clothing
than they could handle.
Restaurant owners on the east and
west sides of town, including Cucino
Paradiso, Napolito’s, Sauced BBQ,
McNear’s and many others, jumped in
to help by providing free meals to fire
victims. Preferred Sonoma Caterers
prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner
for several hundred fire victims.
Lace House Linen employees carried
away donated clothing and bedding that
was quickly washed and returned neatly
folded. Casa Grande football players
volunteered to offload and set up dozens
of cots from trucks brought in from
Sacramento. The Petaluma Creamery
donated cheese. Clover Sonoma donated
milk. Three Twins donated ice cream.
Synergy Health Club opened their doors
for free showers and Ooh La Luxe gave
out free clothing.
These are just some of the many
stories of kindness and generosity that
have emerged in the days since the disas-
ter, and no doubt will continue during
a recovery effort that will likely stretch
well into next year.
As firefighters from across the state
struggle to get these hellish fires under
control, more help is needed for the
thousands of people left homeless.
If you are interested in volunteering
at the local shelters, call 565-3861. Sono-
ma County Red Cross is also in need of
volunteers to assist fire evacuees. Red
Cross has exhausted their volunteer
pool and many additional hands are now
needed during the emergency. Anyone
interested can call 573-3399 to volunteer.
If you can help host an evacuated
person or family in your home for a few
days, few weeks or few months, contact
Petaluma People’s Services Center
SHARE Sonoma County at SHAREfire@
petalumapeople.org.
The Redwood Empire Food Bank,
which has severely depleted its supplies
serving the needs of the fire victims, is
in desperate need of financial and food
donations to continue feeding those in
need. Go to their website, refb.org, to
make a donation, or drop ready-to-eat,
non-perishable foods at their facility at
3990 Brickway Blvd., Santa Rosa.
Petaluma’s well-documented generosi-
ty and compassion is one of this commu-
nity’s key virtues. Time and again, local
residents donate, volunteer and pitch
in to help those in need. It’s a tradition
here, and thanks to these efforts we all
enjoy a stronger community.
The fires will eventually be extin-
guished, and then the long road to recov-
ery will begin for the survivors. In the
meantime, thousands of Sonoma County
residents need your help.
If you can donate your time or money,
please do so today.

New VFW staff
EDITOR: We are excited at VFW Post
1929 to let the public know that we are
here, and put the word out about the
Veteran Day Celebration.
A few points that we would like to get
out:
For the first time we have all new offi-
cers. As Commander, I am the youngest
Commander the Post has had in over 30
years.
We have a new bar manager who has
spent countless hours transforming the
bar, and cleaning it out.
We now are open for football on Sun-
days and Mondays. With a $6 donation,
you will receive a 1/2-pound cheeseburg-
er.
We are having a free BBQ that is open
to the public following the Veterans Day
Parade.
We have recently adopted two units
— a National Guard Unit, and the Chief
Petty Officer Association from Two Rock

Trestle trouble
EDITOR: I was glad to see your
excellent article about the Petaluma
Trestle. I have thought over the years
that it should be repaired. It occurred
to me that if individual citizens donated
something like a dollar or more, that we
could get the funds to do it. Perhaps if
some of the people involved in the plan
could approach the schools we could get
the ball (or train) rolling.
I am not in a position to organize it,
but would donate.

PULSE OF PETALUMA
Poll respondents: More gun control laws needed
A
majority of respondents to an on-
line Argus-Courier poll said that
the U.S. needs stricter gun control
laws. This comes in the wake of anoth-
er mass shooting, this one a Las Vegas
massacre that killed 58 in the worst
mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Here are some comments:
■ “Absolutely, we need stricter gun
laws. In order to be successful at this,
however, legislation needs to be incre-
mental or we will be defeated in the
effort.”
■ “We really need better social services
to identify and help those with mental
problems, depression, etc.”
■ “Maybe not gun control, but ammu-
nition control.”

enforced. What we need are competent

EDITOR: The Spring Lake Village

Wind-driven fires
EDITOR: It would be advisable to
shut down the power grid during dry
weather and high wind conditions. I
noticed my lights flickering, which can
be attributed to power lines shorting out
and dropping sparks. Critical services
mostly have backup generators, and the
inconvenience to the public for a few
hours should be acceptable versus the
alternative we are suffering now.

Too much violence

■ “Stricter gun control laws are

Unfortunately there is absolutely no way
to prevent continued mass gun violence

■ “There is no conceivable reason any-
one, including law enforcement, should
have semi-automatic weapons that can be
converted to fire faster.”
■ “You’re just putting restrictions

Combining
land use
essentials
Addressing climate
change key to meeting all
other planning goals
By DAVE ALDEN
I
’ve written before about
Know Before You Grow, a
Petaluma organization that
presents forums on local land-
use policy and projects, which I
help with planning.
During the organization of
Know Before You Grow, we
identified four factors that we
believe must be incorporated
into new land use actions. Our
list was affordable housing for
all, a broad range of mobility
options, reduced or eliminat-
ed carbon emissions to fight
climate change, and stabilized
municipal finances.
Although the
composition
remains subject
to adjustment,
it’s a list with
which we re-
main comfort-
able. The four
items captured
Dave our essential
Alden goals.
However,
someone recently suggested
that we cut the list further,
down to two items. We couldn’t
see the logic and have asked for
a rationale. But with the seed
planted, I gave myself the men-
tal exercise of deciding how I’d
cut the four points down to two.
After cogitation, I jettisoned
the mobility options. All you
passionate bicyclists, don’t hate
me but, as much as I support
walkability, bikeability and
transit, I decided those activ-
ities didn’t rise to the same
level as affordable housing, the
existential threat from climate
change, or the chaos of wide-
spread municipal bankruptcies.
Using similar thinking, I next
dropped affordable housing. We
need a livable planet and a func-
tioning government for housing
to matter.
But I then turned the exercise
around and realized there was a
different way to view the Know
Before You Grow list.
If we take climate change
seriously, not the current
half-measures but truly seri-
ously, affordable housing must
be an element. Creating places
for people to live in convenient
locations, without breaking
their budgets or the planet
with miles of driving for work,
school and shopping, is essen-
tial to fighting climate change.
Similarly, allowing people not
only to get around on foot, bike,
or buses, but to make those
modes more convenient than
cars, must also be a part of the
climate change battle.
If we take climate change
seriously, affordable housing
and mobility options are tools
that must be employed. In a
slimmed down list of essential
land-use elements, affordable
housing and mobility options

don’t need their own
space. They’re already
there.
So that left me with
two essential elements,
climate change pushback
and stable municipal
finances.
But I also had momen-
tum. There are two prin-
cipal reasons for our cur-
rent spate of financially
distressed cities. First,
we’re largely unwilling
to pay sufficient taxes
to cover the legitimate
costs of emergency and
other essential services.
Second, we’ve built more
infrastructure than can
be maintained with our
current taxes.
Setting aside the possi-
bility of higher taxes, the
most important thing we
can do to save our cities is
to reduce infrastructure
maintenance costs by
having less infrastruc-
ture. Conveniently locat-
ed affordable housing and
mobility options other
than cars reduce the need
for infrastructure.
To recap, if we set re-
ducing carbon emissions
to slow climate change as
a goal, we must facilitate
affordable housing and
mobility options. If we
accomplish the last two,
our cities are financially
stronger. Bingo. All four
Know Before You Grow
points are met by taking
the climate seriously.
But when I write
“taking climate change
seriously,” I don’t mean
recycling, riding a bike
occasionally, or turning
down the thermometer a
degree. Reducing carbon
emissions to zero will re-
quire far more significant
lifestyle changes.
To be clear, I’m not
writing this column by
scratching in a riverbank
with a sharpened stick
in front of my wigwam
while my berries dry for
wintertime sustenance.
I’m not speaking from a
position of superiority. I
live a typical American
lifestyle, maybe better
than some, but not nearly
good enough to get con-
trol over climate change.
I know that I, and most
others, must make signif-
icant changes. We need to
get to work.
But it’s good to know
that when we do so, many
of our other land-use
needs will also be covered.

Flooding in Texas, a

devastation in Puerto Rico,
a shooting massacre in Las

shook the nation. For us here in
Sonoma County, it was pretty
much abstract as we watched on
television, felt sympathy for the
victims and rallied to send aid.
This week’s firestorm that
blazed across Northern Cali-
fornia, leaving a wake of death
and destruction, was differ-
ent. It happened in our home,
where we live, work and play.
The numbers are telling — at
least 16 dead, more than 2,000
structures destroyed, tens of
thousands forced to evacuate,
fire spread over at least 50
square miles — and growing.
For me, the number that
really matters is five. That is

I also want people who went

realignment of some NCS schools
By JOHN JACKSON
ARGUS-COURIER SPORTS EDITOR
It’s official, Petaluma High School and
Casa Grande High School will be in the
same sports league next school year.
The California Interscholastic Federation
North Coast Section Board of Managers
unanimously approved last week a restruc-
turing that will lump Napa, Vintage, Amer-
ican Canyon, Justin-Siena, Sonoma Valley,
Petaluma and Casa Grande into an as-yet
unnamed league in the North Coast Section.
Napa, Vintage and American Canyon
were accepted into the North Coast Section
in April leaving the Sac-Joaquin Section.
Justin-Siena, Sonoma Valley, Petaluma and
Casa Grande have always been members
of the NCS. The new league will play in
what is now the Marin-Sonoma-Mendocino
Conference, although it is likely Napa will
be added to the conference name.
The new league brings together seven
schools from differing leagues — Napa
and Vintage from the Monticello Empire
League, American Canyon from the Solano
County Athletic Conference, Justin-Siena
from the Marin County Athletic League,
Casa Grande from the North Bay League
and Petaluma and Sonoma Valley from the
Sonoma County League.
With the exception of the move of
Justin-Siena, the Marin County Athletic
League will remain intact.

County League football victory over
Piner looks like a routine win by an SCL
power over a league also-ran.
But whenever Petaluma plays Piner,
especially on Piner’s frayed synthetic
turf, the game is never routine.
Such was the case Saturday when the
Trojans had their hands full with the
fired-up Prospectors until the final min-
utes of the first half, when the visitors
scored two touchdowns to put the game
out of reach. Still, Piner battled to the
end, beating a running clock to score a
satisfying final touchdown as the game
was drawing to a close.
Piner played hard on a hot, but not
sweltering, autumn afternoon. In the
end, Petaluma had too many weapons,
particularly up front on the offensive and
defensive lines.
When it was all totaled up, the Trojans
had their usual dominating offensive
game with 340 yards rushing and another
96 passing behind alternating quarter-
backs Justin Wolbert and Cole Powers.
Both played well and each ran for a score.
As usual, Petaluma used a bevy of
rushers, with nine Trojans getting a
chance to pack the football, led by Wol-
bert with 104 yards. Sixty-nine of those
yards came on a scoring run. Garrett
Freitas, given a chance to run between
the tackles as opposed to his usual proce-
dure of attacking an opponent’s flanks,
responded with 79 yards, with Jacob
Rollstin adding 67, Erick Diaz 28 and
Dominick Ayers 25.
Powers completed four of seven passes
for 82 yards, while Wolbert was 2-of-4 for
14 yards. Donovan Castillo was a work-
horse for Piner, running for 73 tough

birthday,” says Petaluma’s
Heather Banaszek, referenc-
ing her son C.J. Banaszek, who passed
away from complications of leukemia
in 2014, at the age of 13. “He would be
17 years old,” Banaszek notes, “and we
want to celebrate his birthday by giving
hope to other families battling child-
hood cancer.”
Honoring C.J.’s birthday - and his
legacy as a ‘cancer hero’ - by helping to
find a cure for childhood cancers, has
become a bit of a Petaluma tradition.
On Oct. 22, in celebration of C.J.’s life,
many of his friends, supporters and the
wider Petaluma community, will once
again mark the milestone with a festive
fundraising dinner and a bowling tour-
nament pointedly dubbed “Striking Out
Childhood Cancer.”
It will be the third consecutive year
for the annual event, taking place at
AMF Boulevard Lanes, immediately
followed by a gala party — including
catered dinner, cocktails and a grand
auction — at the Petaluma Veterans
Memorial Building.

Repair there, he was looking to move to
Petaluma when Neil Southwick offered him
an opportunity to take over Southwick’s
Shoe Store. The Terzians ran Southwick’s
for five years, with John as salesman and
Georgia the cashier and bookkeeper, before
renaming it Wide World of Shoes, and
turning it into one of the first discount shoe
stores in the North Bay Area.
Charley Terzian broke into the family
business one step at a time, starting out as
a buyer traveling to shoe fairs and manu-
facturing plants, looking for volume deals
on overruns and closeouts, in an era before
the specialty brands of today took over.
In the early 1970s the business moved
next door into the vacated F. W. Woolworth
building, enlarging its floor space to 6,500
square feet and gaining an additional 5,500
square feet in the basement, allowing it to
acquire more major brands. Along with the
expansion, Wide World of Shoes became
one of the first downtown merchants, be-
sides the drug stores, to be open on Sunday.

art became the center of
that dream. Though she
did not have professional
art training growing up,
Lexy’s teachers frequent-
ly told her she had a gift.
In high school she
decided she would take
that gift and turn it into
something real.
“During that period
of life, you’re trying to
figure out who you are
and what do you want to
do with your life, and I
knew I wanted to get into
art,” Lexy says. “At first
I was thinking I wanted
to get into painting, but I
knew it would be hard to
try and make a career out
of that.”
That’s when Lexy dis-
covered graphic design.
“You can incorporate
illustration into graphic
design and you can use
photography and all sorts
of things,” she says. “I
just thought, wow! That’s
so exciting.”
Once she knew what
path to take, Lexy knew
exactly where she wanted
to take it – Rhode Island
School of Design, which
Lexy describes as the
“Harvard of art schools.”
To her dismay, the
school ended up rejecting
her portfolio, so instead
she found herself at a
Florida state school.
But for only six months.
Shortly after beginning,
Lexy met a professor who
encouraged Lexy to step
out of her usual artis-
tic box, showing ways
to make her portfolio
stronger.
“I used to be a perfec-
tionist, and she helped me
get a feel for what I was
drawing and start to get
loose,” Lexy said. “At first
it was really uncomfort-
able and weird, and then I
realized that it unleashed
this whole new world to
me.”
Thus encouraged, she
decided to apply to RISD
once again, and finally
got the congratulatory
letter she was hoping for.
“I was surprised that
they picked me, because I
didn’t know I was talent-
ed as an artist yet,” Lexy
admits, allowing that
her initial rejection had
sparked some self-doubt.
“I was intimidated and
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN PETALUMA?
“I would have to say the people and the surrounding area. It’s just so beautiful here, unlike any-
thing. The rolling hills, the many hiking trails, the accessibility to wineries, great food. That was
something I missed in New York City. I’m grateful to have found that here in Petaluma.”

nervous because I knew
that I was with the best of
the best artists.”
Finally at the school of
her dreams, Lexy found
herself in search of an
interesting and engaging
internship program to
enroll in as part of her
major. Though the sky
was definitely the limit,
there was no way Lexy
could know that she
would soon become the
first-ever graphic design
major to internship for
NASA, at the Kennedy
Space Center.
There, she had the
opportunity to redesign
VIP banquet invitations
that NASA sends out for
space shuttle launches,
invitations sent out to
well-known celebrities,
former astronauts and
other high-profile figures.
That project completed,
Lexy’s supervisors at
NASA caught an even bet-
ter glimpse of her design
abilities, and quickly gave
her more marketing and
advertising work.
Lexy’s work at NASA
soon opened the door
to other graphic design
students, many of whom
have since contacted her
to thank her for leading
the way to such a stellar
opportunity.
“It’s so heart-warming
for me and makes me so
happy to have that experi-
ence,” Lexy says.
After graduating, Lexy
lived in New York City for
a while, but soon realized
that she was missing a
small-town, country feel.
That is when she decided

to make the big move to
the Bay Area. Now living
with her husband as a
soon-to-be mother, Lexy
runs her own graphic
design firm known as
Elu Creative, where she
focuses on branding and
promotions for Sonoma
County businesses.
With Elu Creative, she
concentrates on learning
the values and person-
alities of businesses and
their audiences, and col-
laborating with local il-
lustrators, photographers
and web developers to
fully display those values
through logos, copywrit-
ing and other branding
techniques.
Her ultimate dream is
to have a design studio
in Sonoma County with
a team of designers and
production artists, work-
ing together to shape the
county and help stimulate
the growth of local busi-
nesses. She also hopes to
help other designers and
artists grow into their
own success stories.
“I want to do things
differently and do it right,
with my heart,” she said.
As for other young
people who hope to
make something of their
dreams, Lexy has one
piece of advice.
“Always go with your
gut, no matter what
you’re doing. Do what you
think is right. If you fol-

Ghost-loving fans of Tom

documentary “Haunted
Sonoma County” have another
chance to explore the spooky
side of the county in the Peta-
luma-based filmmaker’s newest
release, “Haunted Wine Coun-

miered last weekend in Sonoma
— will materialize anew on
Friday, Oct. 13 (what could be
better?) at Summerfield Cin-
emas in Santa Rosa. All signs
point to a (possible) Petaluma
screening in the future.
The film travels through
California’s Napa, Sonoma and
Mendocino counties, visiting
dozens of haunted locations.
The “evidence” of each spot’s
hauntedness is described by
historians, writers, paranor-
mal investigators and spirited
eye witnesses. “Haunted Wine

rowing older, as they
say, is not for the faint
hearted.
In Cinnabar Theater’s new
comedy “Quartet,” by play-
wright Ronald Harwood (“The
Dresser”), aging is only one of
the challenges facing a famous
foursome of onetime opera
singers. They also have to
deal with each other, and two
of them used to be married.
Adding to the frequently funny
comic tension, the singers – all
residents of a posh retirement
home for musicians – have been
asked to reunite to sing their ca-
reer-defining four-part musical
passage from “Rigoletto,” at a
celebration of Verdi’s birthday.
“I like the way the play treats
the process of growing older,”
says Jereme Anglin, who is
directing “Quartet” for the
acclaimed Petaluma theater
company, itself long associated
with opera, having staged at
least one opera a year for most
of its 40-plus years of operation.
Of the new play, Anglin adds,
“I like how it talks about what
it’s like to be an artist who can
no longer do the thing they are
best known for.”
To bring “Quartet” to life, An-
glin has assembled an all-star
cast of Sonoma County actors
– Laura Jorgensen, Liz Jahren,
Clark Miller, and Michael Fon-
taine - who, taken as a group,
have literally hundreds of plays
behind them, many of those
having been staged at Cinna-
bar. During a break at a recent

In dystopian Los Angeles, elite

‘Princess Bride’ swashbuckles back onto big screen

Anniversary screenings planned around coun-
try, including Boulevard Cinemas in Petaluma
By DAVID TEMPLETON
ARGUS-COURIER STAFF
It’s inconceivable.
“The Princess Bride” is thirty
years old.
The film that made popular
catchphrases of lines like, “As
you wish,” and “Have fun storm-
ing the castle!” and “You killed
my father, prepare to die!” and,
ahem, “Inconceivable!” has now
held its uniquely quirky place
in modern popular culture for
three full decades.
To celebrate, select movie
theaters around the country –
including Petaluma’s Boulevard
Cinemas - will be screening the
film on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 2 p.m.
and 7 p.m.
Initially appearing with little
fanfare and a cast of unknowns
(with the exception of Peter
Falk, an Oscar winner and
television legend for his lead
role in the series “Columbo,”
and Saturday Night Live’s Billy
Crystal), the movie, helmed by
“Spinal Tap” and “Stand by Me”
director Rob Reiner, was first
released in October of 1987.
The loopy-sweet, exuberantly
off-kilter fairytale was an ad-
aptation of William Goldman’s
1973 fantasy novel. At the box
office, the film was only a modest
box office success, earning $30
million dollars on a budget of
$16 million.
But once released on video
the following year, the film was
embraced by the general public
with the ferocity of an R.O.U.S.
(that’s a Rodent of Unusual Size,
of course). The movie made an
instant star of Robin Wright,
playing Buttercup, the fiercely
loyal-but-practical almost-Prin-
cess who pines for her true
love Westley (Cary Elwes, also
launched to stardom with the
film), a gentle farm boy whom

Buttercup believes was kid-

Mandy Patinkin, in the role of
the vengeful swordsman Inigo

his work in Broadway musicals.
Wallace Shawn (who eventually
became the voice of Rex in the
“Toy Story” films) was mainly a

role in the movie “My Dinner

of playing characters who,
are both very different
from themselves, and often
very similar.
“Unlike me, my char-
acter, Jean, doesn’t want
to be there, not at all,”
laughs Jorgensen (whose
last show at Cinnabar was
2014’s “Driving Miss Dai-
sy”). “Jean is the diva, and
she resists that whole part
of aging, the part where
you can’t quite do your art
anymore at the level you
once did it. That’s for other
people to face, not for her.”
Jean, she explains, tends
to cling to the past in a way
that’s not healthy for her.
Adds Jorgensen, “That’s
so clearly not what I want
to do, as a person, as I get
older. The past in the past.
The present is the pres-
ent.”
Fontaine (“Tomfool-
ery!”) agrees.
In the role of Reginald, a
gentle fellow prone to sud-
den outbursts of profanity,
Fontaine is one of the only
members of the cast who’s
actually appeared in and
directed operas.
“Well, I’ve been a mu-
sical theater singer who’s
expanded to do some
opera,” he allows, “and
I’ve felt pretty comfortable
with the few that I’ve done.
But I’m still a student
of what it means to sing
opera.”
With the exception of
Reginald’s unpredictably
foul mouth, it’s a character
Fontaine says he identifies
with, and not just for the
operatic experience.
“As I’ve gotten older,
I’ve found something that
my character has also
found,” he explains. “At
one point Reginald says,
‘I’ve liked getting older,
because all the petty
jealousies and ambitions,
it all falls away. It’s not
important anymore. I can
let it go, and just get on
with today.’ I have found
that to be so true. Things
that years ago would have
angered me, they don’t
bother me so much. I like
that, and I identify with
that. I’m enjoying letting
things go.”
“Each of the characters
in this play embodies their
own strategies for dealing
with age,” suggests Clark
Miller (“Of Mice and

try,” will debut at the Sebastiani Theatre in October.

The cast of “Quartet” works with artistic director Elly Lichtenstein, during a rehearsal Monday at Cinnabar Theater.
“It’s about how the
glories of our past

—Liz Jahren,
‘Quartet cast member
Men”). “My first reaction
was, ‘What a funny play!’”
he acknowledges. “But as
we’ve been working on it,
I’ve found it to have quite a
bit of depth. Yes, it’s about
coming to terms with ag-
ing and mortality, but it’s
also about coming to terms
with your past, things you
did wrong, and now have
to find a way to accept.”
On another level, adds
Jahren (“Always Patsy
Cline”) ‘Quartet’ is about
the past and the present,
and whatever it is that’s to
come.
“It’s about how the glo-
ries of our past are present
in our future,” she says,
adding that she identifies
with her character, Cecily,

“It was my father’s idea to open on
Sunday. He didn’t want to stay at home
and waste time, he wanted to be produc-
tive,” explained Terzian. “Our Sunday
business was good, despite a letter we
once received from a church admonish-
ing us for working on that day.”
In the late 1970s, Charley Terzian
took over the business from his retiring
parents. He added stores in Sonoma,
Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa during a
period when specialty shoe stores were
taking hold and the family shoe store
business was fading.
In 1975, he opened Charley’s Liquors, a
discount liquor store that also carried a
large selection of local premium wines,
but at that time most buyers preferred
jug wines to the premium labels. He
added an in-store delicatessen, which
became an instant success, thanks in
part to the available parking Charley’s
provided. In 1982, his slow-pitch softball
team, Shooze & Booze, captured the city
championship.
After selling his interest in Charley’s
Liquors to Jim Maestretti Jr., and closing

in 1987. Specializing in men’s work boots,
the store became Workforce Boot & Cloth-

Street in 2000 and two years ago moved

his latest store, Sonoma Boot Company.

Homeless, ill kids are focus of fundraising efforts

COMPILED BY DAVID TEMPLETON
ARGUS-COURIER STAFF
CAROUSEL FUND — ANNUAL CAR-
OUSEL FUND RUN 5K
Sunday, Oct. 29, 9-11 a.m.
What’s happening? Whenever a child is
diagnosed with a catastrophic illness, the
family is faced with numerous challenges,
and paying for medical care is often one of
the most stressful. To help out, Petaluma’s
Carousel Fund sponsor the annual Car-
ousel Fund Run 5K race, a fun, family-ori-
ented opportunity to assist local families
struggling with such illnesses. 100% of all
race fees will go to the work of the Carou-
sel Fund. Registration will remain open
until all spots are taken, or till midnight on
Oct. 28, whichever comes first.
Who does it help? The Carousel Fund is
a Petaluma-based charity founded in 1987
to financially assist Petaluma families with
sick children. The all-volunteer organiza-
tion raises and distributes thousands of
dollars annually through benefit events
such as the Carousel Fund Run.
What else should we know? The Car-
ousel Fund Run takes place Sunday, Oct.
29, beginning at 9 a.m., at Ellis Creek Park,
3890 Cypress Drive. To participate is $15 for
a single runner/walker or $35 for a family.

AN HISTORIC SOIREE — BENEFIT
FOR ONE COLD NIGHT & SOCIAL AD-
VOCATES FOR YOUTH
Wednesday, Oct. 25, 5-8 p.m.
What’s happening? An estimated
25 percent of Sonoma County’s homeless
population is 25 years old or younger.
Sometimes, all that’s needed for these
young folks to get off the street is a positive
stable relationship with a supportive adult.
Getting off the streets and into a job or
school can be a matter of life and death for
such young people.
To call attention to the problem of youth
homelessness, Petaluma’s Ben Goldberg,
of Simply Solar, will be sleeping outdoors
ONE COLD NIGHT: Calling attention to youth homelessness, the ‘One Cold Night’ event will feature Petaluma’s Ben Goldberg.
in Santa Rosa for a single long night, Nov.
3, along with fifty other Sonoma Coun-
ty leaders. The effort is called One Cold
Night, during which each participant will
be raising money from their own commu-
nity to support Social Advocates for Youth.
Everyone who makes a donation of $25
or more to Goldberg’s effort will receive a
ticket to Simply Solar’s annual communi-
ty event, An Historic Soiree, taking place
at Hotel Petaluma on Wednesday, Oct. 25,
5-8 p.m. There will be food, drinks, music
and a treasure of raffle items. Donors at
the single-ticket level receive one raffle
ticket. A donation of $100 or more gets
four tickets to the event, plus eight raffle
tickets.
Who does it help? Social Advocates
for Youth is a Sonoma County non-profit
focusing on homeless youth between the
ages of 12 and 25. To learn more about
Social Advocates for Youth visit saysc.org.

Pluots at the Petaluma farmers
market.
Pluots and
squashes
and berries
(oh my!)
T
he markets continue
to overflow with the
abundance of what some
people call one of the five “sea-
sons,” when summer produce
continues to be available, and
fall produce has arrived as well.
Pluots
The fruit stands have not one,
but three different varieties
of pluots, a tasty fruit that is a
cross between an apricot and a
plum. It stands to reason that
since there are a number of
colors of plums, such as red,
purple and green, there could
be pluots in those same colors.
Pluots can be
used in cooking
pretty much
like plums are.
They not only
are good fruits
to eat out of
your hand,
but they add
Juli so much to a
Lederhaus variety of dish-
es. Sliced and
added to a salad with a salty
cheese such as feta and some
sharp greens like arugula is one
of my favorite ways to enjoy
them. Finish with a vinaigrette
dressing and you will dine
handsomely.
I recently made a plum sa-
bayon gratin, a dessert, which
sounds a bit fancy but is really
quite easy to make. For those
of you like some of my friends,
who tell me I have just strung a
whole lot of words together that
they have no idea about, a saba-
yon is a whipped dessert made
of a sweet wine, some sugar
or honey, and egg yolks, and
cooked over simmering water.
It is magical how so few
ingredients can be spun into
something so ethereal and
special. A gratin is something
created in a shallow heatproof
dish, and cooked by one of
several methods to be brown on
top. If you want the full recipe,
just email me.
Squash
Winter squashes of many va-
rieties are in the markets now,
and they are so delicious. But-
ternut or delicata squash are
two of the most popular now,
and both are very good choices.
But if you can find red kuri (or
curry) or Hokkaido squash, or
Kobacha squash, definitely give
them a try.
I like to seed and then peel
the squash with a sharp po-
tato peeler, and then proceed
from there. A helpful hint for
removing the seeds is to use a
melon baller, a butter curler, or
a citrus sectioning knife, if you
have one of those tools.
One of my favorite ways to
cook it is to cut it in ¼-inch
thick slices, coat the slices with
olive oil and season with salt
and pepper, and roast them in a
single layer at 375 degrees until
deep golden brown, flipping
once to be sure you get both
sides brown. The slices are good
on their own, and grand with
a drizzle of something with a
little zest, like nice balsamic or
pomegranate vinegar.
Berries
There are still fresh berries
in our farmer’s markets —
strawberries, blackberries and
raspberries, all organically
grown and delicious. We are
so blessed here in California to
have such wonderful produce,
that sometimes we overbuy,
and then what? What happens

is a delightful unprepossessing surprise.
I have both dined in and enjoyed take-out

and I have never been disappointed.
While this is clearly not an upscale
restaurant, it is a place you can go to have
an enjoyable meal and leave with many

expected.
The small team here never seems to
be upset about special requests, and they
all really want you to enjoy your meal,
whether it is a single entrée, or a table full
of food to enjoy family-style with friends
or family. They proudly advertise that
they use no MSG, which is nice for those
who have an issue with that seasoning.

has been baking Apple Cakes and Fried
Apple Rings along with the traditional
Plum Cake, which will be served at the
Grand Finale Buffet.
“The plum cake is a tart made with a
yeast crust that is not sweet,” she said.
“It has a crumble top made with butter,
sugar and flour.”
Over at the HopMonk taverns, Chef
Randi Dozhier has come up with some
tasty appetizers to serve with all of the
traditional Oktoberfest beers as well as
the house beer — Kellerbier — an unfil-
tered pilsner that is custom brewed for
HopMonk by Biersch’s one-time partner,
Dan Gordon of Gordon Biersch Brewing
Co. of San Jose.
The Rauchbiers and Marzens served
at Oktoberfest for many years tend to be
on the heavy side, with more malt flavor
than hops, Biersch said.
“They are big, smooth, malty beers
— very old school,” Biersch said. “Now
the Helles Lager or Export style is more
popular — it’s lighter, and you drink it in
liter mugs.”
For Oktoberfest, Hopmonk is also
serving a hybrid-style Festbier brewed by
Gordon Biersch Brewing Co. that is rich
and malty, like the old-school beers, but
have a bit of a hoppy finish.
“You can buy it anywhere.” Biersch said.
“It’s only 5.6 percent alcohol, which is mod-
erate. It’s malty but very drinkable.”
One of the appetizers served by Hop-
Monk provides a twist on the ubiquitous
fried pork cutlets: Dozhier deep fries
some pork meatballs, calls them Schnit-
zel Bites and serves them with a sour
cream-dill dipping sauce.
“It’s easy and tasty and traditional,”
Dozhier said. “The bites are made out of
ground pork, and we use a Kellerbier bat-
ter instead of an egg wash … and dip them
in a panko-Parmesan blend and fry them.”
Another flavorful small bite on the
HopMonk menu through Oct. 22 is the
Currywurst, a classic Berliner dish that
features German bratwurst sliced and
grilled, then served on a bed of warm
sauerkraut topped with a mustard curry
chutney sauce.
As a hearty entree, HopMonk is slow
roasting a classic Sauerbraten, a Ger-
man-style braised pot roast, and serving
it with warm potato salad and sautéed
root vegetables.
“It’s a national plate,” Biersch said of
the dish. “It’s one of my personal favor-
ites in the fall, when it’s turning cool and
you want something hearty.”
The meat is marinated for up to 48

hours in vinegar or wine, vegetables and
pickling spices, to infuse the roast with
more flavor. Then it is braised in the mar-
inade juices, which are strained off and
sweetened with crushed gingersnaps,
creating a nice balance between the sour
and the sweet.
“The house beers go really well with
it,” Dozhier said. “It would be really hard
to find a beer that doesn’t go with the
Sauerbraten.”
Every fall, Biersch said he gets queries and cut into fine strips.
about why his restaurants do not offer
German food on the menu all year long.
“I ask them, ‘How many times did you
go out for German food last year,’” he
said dryly. “It’s a small bite club … but
I definitely think of German food in the

MIA
Our sweet girl Mia is just a
puppy at 8 months old. She's
super wiggly, politely playful
and wonderfully fun. Mia LOVES
plush toys, going for walks and
learning new things. Mia has a
special way of melting hearts of
all those around her with her
charming personality! As with
all young puppies, Mia would
love to learn more about the
basics (she's smart and catches
on quickly as she's
eager to please). Mia would like
to live in an active home with
(respectful) children ages 8 and
older. Mia likes other dogs and

I’m all ears! Maybe you’ve

I like to dine with friends:
I’ll select a piece of kibble from
my bowl and bring it over to
wherever you happen to be,
then eat it. Then I go back to my
bowl, choose another morsel
and repeat the cycle. I guess
you could say I’m a “social
eater”. At 9 y/o, I’m sweetly
social in general. I like to be
where my people are. Since I’m
a delicate 5 lbs., kids should be
older, gentle and respectful and
dogs should be of the smallish

a doll! He's quite a love bug and
just as sweet at can be. He
loves everyone and everything!
He's a dreamboat of a boy just
hoping to find a family to love,
to go for walks, to play with
toys and to possibly snorkel
around in the water in the
kiddie pools from time to time.
He loves curling up next to you
for naps, affection, and belly
rubs, too. Reese likes other
dogs (he attends the off-site
group doggy play dates) and
would like to live in a home with
children ages 13 and older.
