Supports Gore
Editor: I support James Gore for County Supervisor because he has the same energy, knowledge , temperment and positive attitude as has been shown by Mike McGuire.  He too will listen and be a fair broker when divergent views exist. I cannot say that for Ms Fudge  who is no friend of Healdsburg and doesn’t enjoy the support of most past or present City Council members from the Cities within the supervisorial district.

Girl Scouts Camp
Editor: Girl Scouts of Northern CA Service Unit 107 enjoyed a fun filled Fall Encampment held at Camp Royaneh in Cazadero. “Camping through the Decades” was theme of this camp for the 125 attending campers and adults. Program aides helped in teaching the girls outdoor skills, outdoor cooking with pie irons and dutch ovens. They also made tie dye pillow cases and worry dolls. The most inspirational leader is Barb Novak who at 80 years old is teaching the girls orienteering skills with compasses! They also learned some songs that have been passed down through generations for over a hundred years!

Town Council Support
Editor: No one can deny the incredible transformation of Windsor over the past 20 years. It is now a vibrant, economically sound and inviting town that has garnered national recognition for it’s design and “community first” policies. This success is the result of sound planning and knowledgeable leadership.
Three Windsor Town Council candidates, Sam Salmon (incumbent Councilman), Dominic Foppoli ( Planning Commission Chair ) and Mark Millan ( Planning Commission Vice Chair ) are all currently serving our community in their respective roles. As you probably know, Windsor is currently working on updating it’s General Plan. This task relies on thoughtful analysis, community participation and insight.
We need the kind of knowledge, commitment and leadership that these three can provide during this very important process. They will continue to work on protecting and enhancing the wonderful community we’ve created.
Please join me and many others in electing Sam Salmon, Dominic Foppoli and Mark MIllan to Windsor Town Council

Windsor Planning Commissioner
