1. Ken Norton, talks on Discernment. Other than co-producing Women’s Spaces and sitting silently beside Elaine at the soundboard during the broadcast, produces the 5-minute episodes on the Scent of Light twice a month as a radio segment and podcast. Today he presents his episode called Discernment, for helping us with our decisions when traditional assumptions have to be let aside like in this time of our community response to slow the pandemic rate of infection so as not to overwhelm the medical system.

He has been producing his 5-mnute episodes on the Scent of Light since May 2018, which are broadcast during the Radio Spotlight Magazine the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the Month on Radio KOWS 82.5 FM-LP in Santa Rosa, and available as podcasts.  Ken assisted his mentor Professor Dr. William Hermanns for 19 years, helping him edit and publish his works, and Dr. Hermanns death in 1990 became Trustee of the Wiliam Hermanns Trust.

2.  Misti Wood, Community Engagement Liaison, talks of the precautions the Sonoma County Sheriff Department is taking in responding in a support role to the directives being given by the Interim County Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase in her Shelter-in-place order to delay the spread of the Coronavirus to not overload the medical system with more cases than beds or other equipment. The Sheriff Department enforces county laws and directives in the unincorporated areas of the county and the police enforce the laws in their respected cities, but Misti assures us of the agencies staying in communication with each other and assisting one another when needed. Misti also stressed that bilingual operators will be available when calling the Sheriff  or the general Help line 2-1-1 for where to seek services in the county.  She reminded us of the county’s website socoemergency.org which has much information on the current situation in regard to this pandemic sweeping our county and the globe and behaving as safe as possible.

About our Guest:   Misti Wood was born and raised in Truckee, California. She moved to Sonoma County in 2001 to attend Sonoma State University. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies and Planning with a minor in Spanish. She worked as a land use planner at the City of Cotati and Sonoma County for 13 years before working at the Sheriff’s Office. Her professional experience includes land use planning, public policy, and community outreach. She focuses her volunteer efforts at the Food For Thought food bank as a board member and serving clients in English and Spanish.
