Boy diving for lobsters attacked by shark
A 13-year-old boy diving for lobsters was attacked
by a shark on the San Diego coast early Saturday
but was quickly pulled from the water by others and
flown to a trauma center, authorities said.
The boy suffered traumatic upper torso injuries,
but the attack was “nonfatal,” city Lifeguard Capt.
Larry Giles told reporters at Beacon’s Beach in Enci-
nitas, about 27 miles north of downtown San Diego.
The attack occurred just before 7 a.m., during the
opening hour of California’s popular spiny lobster
season.
The boy was attacked in about 9 feet of water
approximately 150 yards offshore. He was brought to
shore by three bystanders, Giles said.
Emergency responders arrived, and the boy was
flown by helicopter to a trauma center.
The three rescuers were identified only as an
off-duty police officer from nearby Oceanside, an
off-duty state lifeguard and a friend who were also
diving for lobsters. Giles said the trio provided a “tre-
mendous amount of aid to that young man.”
Witnesses estimated the shark was about
11 feet long, but the type was not known, he said.

Trump lays into Dems over Kavanaugh
President Donald Trump on Saturday night turned
the fight over the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh
to the Supreme Court into a midterm election rallying
cry, denouncing “the ruthless and outrageous tactics of
the Democrat Party.”
Speaking at his rally here, Trump also suggested Sen.
Dianne Feinstein of California, the ranking Democrat
on the Judiciary Committee, was responsible for leak-
ing a letter from Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey
Ford detailing her allegation that the judge sexually
assaulted her when they were teenagers.
“Dianne Feinstein, did you leak? Remember her
answer. Did you leak the document? ‘Uh. Uh. What?
What? No. Uh. No. Uh. I didn’t le- well, wait one minute.
No, no, we didn’t leak it.’ I’ll tell you what, that was real

it, but that was the worst body language I’ve ever seen,”
he said.
Feinstein has denied that either she or her staff
leaked the letter. The Intercept, which first reported the
allegation, has denied Feinstein’s office was its source.

ossing pizza is an art form

that takes years of experience,
dexterity and some serious
stamina. After 40 years in the pizza
business, however, Dennis Milano has
it pretty well figured out.
At his family’s new pizzeria, Urban
Pizza Co. in Santa Rosa, he’s always
up for a little fancy dough flinging,
spinning the glutenous dough high
into the air a few times, spinning it on
one finger, then doing a couple of fan-
cy twists. It’s mesmerizing to watch a
blob of flour and yeast succumb to the
forces of a veteran pizzaiolo, powerless
against the physics of a perfect toss.
It’s also something that’s becoming
a rare sight as prefab pizza doughs be-
come the norm, frozen discs that any
18-year-old can throw into an oven.
More than just for show (although it is
a pretty great show), hand-tossing the

SAFARI WEST » Animal park will celebrate 25th anniversary — and surviving the Tubbs fire
JOHN BURGESS / THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
Safari West owner Peter Lang hangs out with a Southern White Rhinoceros, one of the larger African species on view at his 400-acre wildlife preserve and tent camp on Porter Creek Road.
Wildlife, preserved

T
he day of Oct. 7 will mark two mile-
stones at Safari West: celebrating the
25-year anniversary of the preserve’s
public opening, and the night one year ago,
when the park and its creatures narrowly
escaped being swallowed up by the Northern
California wildfires.
On that unforgettable night, owner Peter
Lang was able to singlehandedly save the
400-acre wildlife preserve by fighting it with a
tangled chain of garden hoses, moving from
animal enclosure to enclosure, after staff and
family evacuated.
He recognizes that his being there is what
made the difference but he credits the pre-
paredness of his team as well.
“The emergency planning we did with
people was remarkable,” said Lang. “With
animals, I’ve said to a lot of people, don’t
confuse expertise with luck. I was very, very
lucky.”

My husband and I saved just
enough for them all to attend
college without any debt for tu-

Any extra money they’ve re-

A LOOK AT THE REBUILD EFFORT IN SONOMA COUNTY

Stay and rebuild, or sell and leave? It is the big question facing thousands of Sonoma County fire
survivors. The first wave of rebuilding accounts for little more than a third of the homes lost in
the county in October. A number of lots have changed hands or been put up for sale.

It’s been almost one year since my family lost our home in the
fires. I have donated hundreds of hours helping fire survivors for
no cost with their insurance issues. My firm has helped lobby the
legislature to protect fire victim rights.
We are helping hundreds of fire survivors to hold PG&E
accountable for burning down their homes and here is why:
1. Our insurance is inadequate, so PG&E is the the only way
to be made whole.
2. Why would you let someone burn down your home and get
away with it?
3. Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino County are all suing PG&E,
why wouldn’t you?
4. Most insurance companies are suing PG&E, why wouldn’t you?
5. Your lives were threatened, why would you let PG&E get away
with that?

“That ended up being a $15,000 surprise,” he
said. “But all in all, it’s been fairly smooth. We got
some great coaching from our contractors about
submitting our blueprints and permit applica-

There was never any question of moving out of
Redwood Valley, Nancy said.
“We’ve been here 44 years,” she observed as she
watered some potted plants that will eventually
be used for landscaping the property. “This is our
home.”
George concurred, noting that he and his wife
were optimists by nature. “We weren’t going to
become victims. We weren’t going to let this thing
define us.”
It’s clear, though, that the properties along
upper Tomki Road are at continued risk from
wildfire. The road is narrow and winding, and
the adjacent slopes are steep. The destruction left
by last year’s fires is all too evident. Though new
homes are going up, many lots remain vacant.

Rebuilding, Building, and Recovering

Kaiser Permanente in the Community
At Kaiser Permanente we are dedicated to rebuilding and building our
community’s health, resilience, and infrastructure.
We do this because it is part of our mission to improve the health of our
members and the communities we serve. In the immediate aftermath of the
fires, our Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit programs provided grants and
donations to fund mental health services for people affected by the fires, relief
assistance for undocumented residents, and assistance for patients and employees
of community clinics damaged by the fires.
We do this because it’s personal. More than 200 of our Kaiser Permanente
physicians and staff lost their homes, as did many of our members, friends, and
neighbors. We safely evacuated our Santa Rosa hospital, and all of our patients
received extraordinary care at other Kaiser Permanente hospitals and from our
community partners. We reopened our hospital and medical office buildings to
serve our members and patients. We developed a Resiliency Team to help our
physicians and staff cope with the aftermath of the fires. Most recently we built and
opened a new 87,300 square-foot medical office building in Southwest Santa Rosa
this spring.
We continue to assist and care for our most vulnerable populations by focusing
on access to care and coverage, healthy eating and active living, early childhood
development, and mental health and wellness. We recently provided $500,000 to
Santa Rosa City Schools’ Integrated Wellness Center to ensure continuity of mental
health services during periods when schools are not open. The Sonoma County
Department of Health Services received $1,000,000 from Kaiser Permanente
to support and extend the Crisis Counseling Program, a critical effort to deliver
trauma-informed services to those affected by the wildfires last year.
We do this because we believe that total health is more than freedom from
physical affliction—it’s about mind, body, and spirit. We do this because Kaiser
Permanente is part of our community.

IS YOUR HOME PREPARED FOR A WILDFIRE?

According to CalFire, 2017 was one of the worst fire years on record for California: we experienced 5 of the 20 most destructive
wildfires in the state’s history; over quarter of a million Californians were forced to evacuate their homes; over 10,000 structures
were destroyed; and the economic toll was in the tens of billions. This year’s fire season may be far from over and is on track
to be the worst in a decade, with the Mendocino Complex fire surpassing last year’s Thomas Fire as the largest in California’s
history. Each year wildfires destroy thousands of buildings, stripping families of their homes and most cherished belongings
and forcing them to rebuild their lives from scratch. The impacts of losing one’s home are devastating and the emotional and
financial costs are extreme. It is something that no one should ever have to experience. Few homeowners however, have taken
stock of all of the preventative measures one can take to better safeguard their property. Here are some considerations for
wildfire preparedness, for both new and existing construction.
LOCATION
Do you know the fire history of your
neighborhood? Topography of the site, slope,
prevailing winds during fire conditions?
ROOF
What kind of roof do you have? In what
condition is the flashing, chimney, roof vents,
gable vents? Do you have 1/8” maximum
heavy-duty metal screening over vents? Are
there cracks or gaps, combustible materials or
leaf litter buildup?
EAVES & GUTTERS

Are your eaves open or boxed? Do you have
eave vents? Are they covered with 1/8” heavy-
duty metal screening? Are your gutters clear of
combustible debris?
FAMILY SAFETY PLAN

STRUCTURE & ADDITIONS If you had to evacuate right now do you know
What materials is your siding? Do do garage exactly what important belongings you’d
doors seal? Are doors metal or wood? Do pack? Are they accessible? Do you know your
crawl space vents have 1/8” maximum metal evacuation route and have a destination in

Letter to the Community:
On October 9, 2017 our community experienced one of the most

destructive wildfires in the history of California. A great many of our
customers, employees, neighbors and friends were affected by the fires—
losing family members, businesses and their homes.
In the last twelve months we were reminded that our community, Sonoma
County, this place we call home, has a compassionate and generous spirit.
Exchange Bank’s roots run deep in Sonoma County and our commitment
to the community dates back to 1890. We helped rebuild Sonoma County
before, and we will continue to help as our community moves forward.

onstruction is humming along in
Sonoma County. Homes destroyed
by last October’s wildfires are being
rebuilt, while old structures are renovated
and foundations for new businesses are
laid.
Natural disasters have contributed to the
construction cycle for more than a century,
with fires and floods joining the 1906 and
1966 earthquakes. But population booms
and economic prosperity also play roles in
the development of new neighborhoods,
churches and shopping centers.
Some of these historic landmarks have
stood the test of time. Others have been
replaced by new structures in our ever
evolving landscape where the only constant
is change.

Notice from the Superior Court, State of California, County of Placer
If you own a home in California with Monier roofing
tiles, you may be entitled to receive compensation
What America
This Court-Ordered Notice arises out of a class action lawsuit involving
slurry-coated roofing tiles that were manufactured by Monier Inc. At trial, a jury
determined that qualifying homeowners are entitled to damages in the amount
of $3,705. Qualifying commercial property owners are entitled to $400 or more.
The purpose of this Notice is to inform you of your right to submit a claim for
compensation in a Claims Process overseen by the Superior Court of California.
This notice is only a summary. For additional information, including
a Detailed Notice that fully describes this Claim Process, please visit
www.RoofingTilesClassAction.com.
Who is eligible for a payment?
All owners of homes or commercial properties in the State of California, or
previous owners of homes or commercial properties with Monier tiles sold
between January 1, 1978 and August 14, 1997 (“Qualifying Tiles”), or previous
owners of homes or commercial properties with Monier tiles sold during that
same period, may be entitled to compensation. Homeowners may be entitled to
receive $3,705 per home, and commercial property owners may be entitled to
receive $400 for every 30 roofing squares.
How is the class defined?
The Court created two classes that overlap and they are defined as follows:
UCL CLASS: (i) all individuals or entities in the State of California who
own structures with slurry-coated roof tiles sold by Monier Company,
Monier Roof Tile, Inc., or Monier Inc. between January 1, 1978, and
