A blessing for a safe journey
Bell's Ambulance, which has served north Sonoma County for 60 years, has never put a new ambulance into service without first having it blessed by a priest. Above, Father Sean Rogers of St. John the Baptist Church blessed Bell's new rig Tuesday morning. He later blessed Pamela and Wayne Bell, who run the business founded by their parents. The new ambulance went into service immediately, stationed at the Bell's office in Windsor.

Have a Great Fourth
Not all Fourth of Julys have been as historic as this year seems to be. We stand just 10 or so generations beyond the original 1776 founding of our country and our Declaration of Independence. Our times are nowhere as monumental as the Independence Days celebrated during our Civil War or the bleakness of two world wars. Yet, right now, we have arrived at a historic defining point as we debate — and must decide — what America’s “greatness” truly is, how it was created and whether it has been lost or needs a radical reformation.
