Changes at Sebastopol Fire Department

Mon, Sep 12, 2011 - 12:47pm

Last week, the City bid a sad and fond farewell to John Zanzi as Fire Chief. John was the second Chief that the department has had and led the Department for many years with great distinction. Our city is unbelieveably fortunate to be served by such a talented and dedicated volunteer fire department. While John would deflect any credit for the success of the Sebastopol Fire Department to the volunteers who serve us, John's efforts, guidance and steady sense of duty and purpose played and will play a pivotal role in its continued success.

Japanese Disasters

Mon, Mar 14, 2011 - 3:10pm

When news of the massive earthquake and tsunami reached us last Friday, our thoughts immediately turned to our sister city friends in Takeo/Yamauchi. Fortunately, they are located a far distance from the most affected areas, however many residents in our sister city undoubtedly have friends and/or family members that have been directly impacted. As the news on these terrible events continues to unfold, please keep all of our friends in Japan and other affected areas in your thoughts and prayers.

Holiday Street Tree Lights

Thu, Dec 16, 2010 - 9:26am

The Press Democrat published a column on December 16, 2010 regarding the lack of street tree lighting on Main Street this holiday season. The column essentially said that the City was preventing the Kiwanis Club from installing lights on the trees. While there is a kernel of truth to that notion, the facts of the situation are more nuanced then the article makes clear.
