SAGEING NOT AGING Aging itself isn’t the problem. It’s the images we hold about it, our cultural expectations, that cause our problems. – Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, From Age-ing to Sage-ing*

If aging means “adding years” or “getting older” than we start aging from the day we were born. However, in our culture, we tend to reserve that term for a later stage of life when we are “over the hill” or “put out to pasture.”

We live in such an ageist culture that it is not surprising that we dread growing older! “Aging may be fine for wine and cheese but not for me!” is a sentiment commonly expressed by those approaching mid-life. In our culture, aging conjures up images of increasing frailty and forgetfulness, of helplessness and dependency. We picture canes and walkers, hearing aids and magnifiers, pill dispensers, and adult diapers. Our collective negative attitude toward aging provides fertile ground for lucrative marketing of products and procedures that promise to make us look, feel, and act younger than our years.

The book referenced in the above quote was one of the first to reframe our concept of aging and recognize the positive opportunities of elderhood. Since then, numerous others have also identified the possibilities of this later stage of life for continued personal growth. Freedom from parental and career responsibilities allow time for exploring new interests. Physical limitations that slow us down allow time for extracting wisdom from previous life experiences and developing greater humility, deeper relationships, increased compassion, and greater patience. We can also grow in our awareness and appreciation for the simpler pleasures of life.

Inspired by Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi’s book title, I propose that we replace aging with sageing! Aging is associated with the declining aspects of late life. Sageing, on the other hand, refers to developing the qualities of a sage including continuing inner growth and increasing insight. (It is coincidentally interesting that the more common meaning of sageing refers to the burning of the herb to purify and bless!) Wines and cheeses can continue aging, but I am committed to sageing!!! *In addition to this book, a great resource for enhancing our elder journeys is Sage-ing International (https://sage-ing.org/) which is based on Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi’s insightful exploration of the potential of elderhood. The organization offers informative workshops, helpful resources, and wisdom circles. _______________________________________________________________________ Gary Hermes resides at Sonoma Oaks manufactured home community and is passionate about exploring the potential of the elder journey for self-growth and service.

CHANGES! Sonoma’s district elections are changing!! What you need to know WE ARE IN DISTRICT 4 PURPLE along w/ Moon Valley & Sonoma Oaks

Beginning in 2026, Sonoma voters will elect City Council Members by district rather than atlarge. Under the new election system:  

Districts 1, 3, and 5 will vote in November 2026 Districts 2 and 4 will vote in November 2028

How Were District Lines Drawn?

The district boundaries were adopted by the City Council on April 2, 2025, following a public process that incorporated: 

 

Legal criteria: equal population using 2020 Census data; compliance with the California Voting Rights Act; contiguity; and respect for natural and man-made boundaries where practicable.

Communities of Interest (COI): testimony and COI input describing neighborhoods, shared amenities, schools, and local concerns to help keep communities together.

Public participation: multiple public meetings/hearings, posted draft maps, and opportunities for written and spoken feedback before the Council selected the final map and election sequence.

Sonoma Index Tribune article - By James Bohar June 4, 2026 Sonoma City Council voted in 2025 to change how Sonomans select those who represent them on council.

Instead of one at-large district, where each council member represents every resident, Sonoma was divided into five representative districts. As a result, voters in each district will now choose who represents their specific area with its specific issues on City Council. How does this change the Nov. 3 election for City Council?

Elections will take place for districts 1, 3 and 5, where either the previous council member’s term or appointment has ended. This means voters in each of those districts will be choosing their respective representatives on council. By my own observations, district voting is a big civic upgrade in a city like Sonoma. There are multiple advantages over the previous atlarge system.

District council members will understand and represent the particular concerns of their constituency more effectively — traffic, noise, safety, creeping commercialism into residential neighborhoods, a balance between residential, tourism, and business development, etc. and the concerns of the whole city, as well.

Each district will organize to provide leadership in identifying the best-qualified candidates.

Competition among each district’s candidates will provide greater variety of viewpoints for residents’ consideration. For example, in fall 2025, two candidates whose terms had expired (Sandra Lowe and Jack Ding), ran unopposed and were reelected.

While a candidate’s general experience and capability are important, district voting will lend more weight and awareness to the actual issues concerning their potential constituents.

District voting works best when candidates emerge from their community’s interests, not ambition alone.

While voter participation in elections it is important (in the 2024 council election, voter turnout was 87% of the 7,696 ballots issued) — equally or more important; well-informed, meaningful civic participation would most likely increase by more active community/district organization.

Some city officials viewed the change to district elections as a positive step, according to the Dec. 11, 2024 Sonoma Index-Tribune in a front-page article headlined, “Sonoma city plans switch to district elections.”

Then-City Manager David Guhin said cities that have switched to district-based elections benefit, as this change “can lead to more equitable decision-making that reflects the needs 9

and priorities all residents.” He added that district-based elections can also be more costeffective and “reduce campaign costs, encouraging more grassroots participation” among residents in local government.

Lastly, he said that making the change to district-based elections will also help the city avoid litigation by demonstrating “a commitment to fair representation.” Lowe said in the same article that she believed city leaders would “ultimately … embrace a process which highlights our uniqueness in our neighborhoods, as well as our community as a city.”

A map of the five districts in Sonoma is available on the city’s website, sonomacity.org/documents/city-of-sonoma-city-council-election-districts/ In order for each resident to determine their own district, they are directed to insert their address in the city of Sonoma website’s “District Voting section,” sonomacity.org/district-based-elections-begin-innovember-2026-find-your-district-today/ District voting only delivers on its promise if voters in each district organize deliberately.

Districts don’t automatically produce effective representation. PEOPLE DO. There is scant information available from the city to create election public awareness or to enable the districts to organize effectively.

Let’s starting talking about the November elections, now. ~James Bohar has been a Sonoma resident for over 20 years and previously served five years on the Sonoma Planning Commission. He’ll return with a second column that includes suggestions about the role residents and city leaders can play in district-based elections.

MISC INFO: https://www.sonomacity.org/city-council-districts/ The City of Sonoma has launched a new online District Finder tool to help residents determine which City Council district they live in as Sonoma transitions to district-based elections beginning in November 2026.

Using the interactive tool, residents can enter their address to quickly identify their City Council district and learn when their district will next vote in a City Council election.

The District Finder is available on our City Council Districts webpage.

Residents may notice that districts do not currently appear to have a representative assigned to them. This is because current Council Members were elected at-large before the transition to district-based elections and are serving out their existing terms.

The City is also preparing additional outreach materials to help inform residents about the transition. Printed district maps are currently in development and will be made available once finalized.

Questions or need help? Call (707) 933-2216 the City Clerk’s Office.

Robin’s Corner - Community Manager, Pueblo Serena Estates Rules, Rules, Rules, can’t live with them, can’t live without them. By far the most challenging aspect of my job is to enforce the sometimes hard to understand rules, or mitigate between residents about what is fair or unfair…and inevitably someone will probably end up less than satisfied with the decision. Know that I, we, listen to both sides of a dispute, debate and weigh different options, and then I ponder things in my heart.

That being said, there are very few conflicts for a community of this size, and most neighbors are able to work things out amicably without ever contacting the office. This would be the goal, but it is understood, that on occasion it is necessary to contact management. And we are here for you.

There are days that last forever, interminable, and your begging time to speed up, when all three granddaughters and their Mama, were diagnosed with strep throat, and you yourself contracted something with rash and bumps, and you just want this to be over.

Then there are the days you would like time to slow down…Sitting under the giant trees near the creek watching the quail and their teeny tiny dandelion puff babies running along the path to the nearest hiding place. Papa Quail perched high surveying the safest route, and Mama Quail herding the puff balls to a safe place. Soon followed by a female turkey strutting through the bocce ball court, in no hurry, just taking her time to get to the creek. This is also the time of year when it is not uncommon to see deer choosing the best fig, or rose to have for dessert, before bedding down under the redwoods. We get to live here! Amazing….

My favorite guilty pleasure is to lie in my hammock listening to the wind chime, the table top fountain burble and Joni Mitchell trilling about the “Ladies of the Canyon” lifting my head just long enough to see Bill set down a chilled glass of New ZZealand sauvignon blanc, before he quietly disappears, leaving me to my solitude. It refreshes my spirit when I take the time to luxuriate in my garden hammock, knowing that soon the girls will arrive for the weekend, and we can swim, and bake, and walk and blow bubbles, knowing that when they return home my hammock will be waiting for me. I believe this is what we could call the best of both worlds.

Christina, our boss, asked for some photos of our lovely Pueblo Serena to present to the annual HCA board of directors meeting. We can all be proud of our community and recognize the truly unique beauty of this place we call home. Of course the design and layout of the community happened years ago, but thank goodness someone 13

had the forethought to allow for the green spaces, the landscaping, the walkways, the ponds, and over the years things have been maintained very well.

Many of you have extraordinary gardens, and the common areas are looking manicured while the back forest area is left as natural as is practical, all culminating in our very serene community. And we get to live here!!!

Treat yourself, and go for a leisurely walk through Pueblo, sit for a minute or two and listen to the quail, feel the breeze on your face and be thankful, for this lovely place we all call home.

Be good to yourself, and one another.

Congratulations!

We have accomplished our goal to stop HCD's Mobilehome Fee Increase proposal! It has been REJECTED by both the Senate and Assembly Budget SubCommittees.

HCD* was trying to balance its budget woes on the backs of California mobilehome owners by proposing to raise all of the numerous mobilehome-related fees annually by the CPI and then round up to the nearest dollar.

Thanks to all who made phone calls to the California State Senate and Assembly during this budget hearing process.

The Right Way to Clean a Bird Bath (and Keep Birds Safe)

By Madeline Buiano, from Martha Stewart.com

Bird baths can build up with potentially harmful bacteria, pathogens, and algae if not cleaned properly. Bird baths give our feathered friends a peaceful refuge to hydrate and preen, but proper maintenance is needed to keep them welcoming and safe. Since the water in a bird bath is typically stagnant and not naturally filtered as it is in a stream or pond, it can accumulate potentially harmful bacteria and other pathogens. Cleaning your bird bath—and filling it with fresh water regularly—will ensure it's safe for the birds that drink from it and use it to clean their feathers.

How Often to Clean a Bird Bath How often you clean your bird bath depends on a few factors, including the weather, how frequently it's used, and where it's located. Generally, you should clean your bird bath every two to three days, or more often if the water looks cloudy or dirty. More frequent cleanings may also be necessary if it's hot outside or if the bird bath is under a tree.

"Clean your bird bath more thoroughly every week or so by scrubbing it with a vinegar solution and letting it dry before refilling it," says Tod Winston, a birding guide and urban biodiversity specialist at New York City Bird Alliance.

Materials Needed - Make sure you have these materials on hand before getting started.     

Rubber gloves Scrub brush Hose or bucket Water Distilled white vinegar

Steps for Cleaning a Bird Bath While it's important to replace your bird bath water and rinse away any debris every other day, you should also complete a deep clean of the bird bath once a week, following the steps outlined below.

1. Discard Old Water Start by putting on a pair of waterproof gloves to protect your hands when cleaning. "Pour out the old bird bath water and large debris into a nearby flower bed or lawn, where it will drain into the soil and not accumulate," says Winston.

17

2. Rinse and Scrub Once the dirty water is removed, rinse the bird bath out with a hose or bucket of clean water. Scrub any lingering debris with a brush. Note that the type of brush you use depends on the material of your bird bath.

"For the lightweight plastic basin I use in the WarblerFall, I have learned the hard way that a wire brush, which works well on hard ceramic, will score it badly," says Julie Zickefoose, bird expert and creator of the DIY WarblerFall bird bath. "Algae then gets in the scratch marks, and you can't get it out." For delicate materials, consider a nylon dish scrubber or a cleaning eraser.

3. Clean With Vinegar Next, mix a solution of 9 parts water and 1 part distilled white vinegar, says Winston. Dip a scrub brush into the cleaning solution and scrub the bird bath, focusing on areas with heavy algae buildup.

Warning - Do not use soaps with synthetic ingredients, such as common dish soap, to clean your bird bath, as the chemicals can strip the oils off the bird's feathers.

4. Rinse and Refill After scrubbing the bird bath, rinse it with water to remove the vinegar solution. "Let it dry in the sun to make sure any remaining vinegar has evaporated," says Winston. Once the bird bath is dry, refill it with fresh water.

Tips for Maintaining a Bird Bath There are a few measures you can take to reduce how often you need to replace the water in your bird bath and keep it sanitary between deep cleans. 

If possible, place your bird bath in the shade to keep the water cool, reduce evaporation, and slow down the growth of algae and bacteria, says Winston. The best area for a bird bath is near, but not directly under, a low shrub or tree.



If your bath has rocks, keep a reserve pile of flat rocks to switch out and set the dirty ones in the hot sun to bake, says Zickefoose.



Generally, your bird bath water should be no more than 2 inches deep. "Deeper water is less comfortable for smaller birds to wash and preen, and is harder to keep clean," says Winston.



Always replace old bird bath water completely rather than just adding more water to a dirty bird bath.



Consider adding a running water feature to your bird bath, either with a fountain or a simple, slow trickle from a hose. "The sound of moving or dripping water is very attractive to birds, and water movement will also discourage mosquitoes from attempting to breed," says Winston. https://www.marthastewart.com/how-to-clean-a-bird-bath-11983181 18

QUOTES 4th of JULY quotes My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

Thomas Jefferson Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

Dwight D. Eisenhower This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.

Lyndon B. Johnson All we have of freedom, all we use or know, This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling, "The Old Issue," 1899 America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

Adlai Stevenson May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this, our own country!

Daniel Webster Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism.

The Lighter Side Traffic Court A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked her occupation, she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court."

He smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a red light' five hundred times."

Two Guys From Chicago Two guys die and wake up in hell. The next day, the devil stops to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats, warming themselves around the fire.

The devil: "What are you doing? Isn't hell hot enough for you?"

The guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Chicago, Illinois, the land of ice and snow and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a bit."

The devil is absolutely furious. He decides to turn off all the heat.

The next morning, it's below zero in hell. There are icicles everywhere and people are shivering so bad they are unable to wail and moan.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Chicagoans. He finds them jumping up and down and cheering.

One exclaims, "When hell freezes over, that can mean just one thing: The Cubs won the World Series!"
