The FPA has retained Joan Vilms as a real estate broker to negotiate on our behalf the purchase from Summit State Bank of approximately 7.9 acres of vacant land in Forestville, to be used primarily as permanent open space and plaza for the downtown area. We see this as a long term process. Come to the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors' meeting on September 18 for their possible approval on the Forestville Town Square project.

Kozlowski Farms grew from a seed
The Kozlowskis have come full circle since their ancestors fled Kansas in the ’30s for the fertile fields of Sonoma County. The Dust Bowl was just one obstacle this close knit clan has survived.
Since 1948 they have been farming near Sebastopol, selling products that are beloved by locals as well as national buyers. Carol Kozlowski shares news about the farm and the remarkable family that makes it all happen.

Late sculptor honored at Quicksilver
The Quicksilver Mine Co. gallery in Forestville will open a show of the sculpture of Charles Fahlen on Friday Sept. 28, with a special reception honoring the artist on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 4 to 6 p.m. Fahlen, who died in 2010, began his professional career as an artist in the late 1960’s in Philadelphia, exhibiting extensively on the East Coast before moving to Guerneville twelve years ago. This show at Quicksilver will focus on sculpture completed in his Russian River studio during the last five years of his life. An avid reader and traveler, Fahlen created a largely abstract and very personal body of work, often referencing themes of exploration, particularly the American West.Quicksilver is at 6671 Front St. and is open Thursday through Monday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In Castaneda's view, giving these workers the same overtime benefits as those in other industries is a "bad idea." "Not a lot of farmers can pay overtime. Crops are going to go bad," Castaneda said.
But others say California farmworkers should be paid overtime like everyone else as a matter of fairness and equality...
