Women’s Spaces host Elaine B. Holtz points out, “This is the first time the city of Santa Rosa will be voting by districts and the six candidates for the Santa Rosa City Council were interviewed in the [KBBF] studio...Each for about 16 minutes, and each interview appears as separate audio files.
The candidates and their districts are:
John Sawyer (2) Lee Pierce (2)
Tom Swedhelm (6) Victoria Fleming (4) Dorothy Beattie (4) Mary Watts (4)
Next year in April there will be an Earth Day cleanup and people said they are hoping we can make this a barbeque also. Roseland Review will look deeper into how to do an Earth Day “Roseland’s Way”.
Listen to the interviews online at womensspaces.com
You can also hear an interview with the newly elected Clerk-Recorder- Assessor-Registrar of Voters Deva Marie Proto for Sonoma County, who provides detailed information about voting and election procedures.
While walking along the streets of Roseland near Bayer Farm during the cleanup there were also numerous people out “Walking precincts” to get people to vote for various items on this year’s election ballots.

Pierce a good man, and an Army Veteran, who will listen to people from Roseland and South Park as he previously did while on the Santa Rosa City Council in the past. For the best thing for Roseland a woman named Mary Watts who works for Community Action Partnership could be our best bet. We don’t get to vote for her, but you could tell your friends about her. Lee Pierce and Mary Watts know about Roseland. They will help Roseland if elected so please spread the word so we can try to have a better Roseland sooner than later.
of the excellent sights and sounds at KBBF’s annual Trunk or Treat event. However, one reader read the piece and wrote in:
There is no such thing as a “fifties Mercury Straight Eight.” Mercury started in 1939 with a Flathead V8 and possibly a Straight 6. Never made a Straight Eight. Dear Reader,
