The 3 Myths That are Causing Your Back Pain 

Are you tired of having back or joint pain? You can learn how to be free of pain! Learning what is the underlying cause of your pain will enable you to make changes that eliminate your pain. Almost everyone in highly industrialized countries has adopted a modern posture that is misaligned and so pervasive we can't even see it. Many treatments don't address the underlying cause of pain.

Learning a set of simple, specific guidelines can bring you relief from pain anytime, anywhere. The same guidelines that take away your pain also straighten your spine.

Come to a 2 hour Balance Method workshop - "The 3 Myths That are Causing Your Back Pain". Mention where you heard about this for your complimentary ticket!

IN PETALUMA: Tuesday, April 24 from 7:15-9:15 pm.
(Also offered in Berkeley May 5)

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Seating is limited. To register, call 707-658-2599 or visit www.sonomabodybalance.com

Why do people in some countries have no back pain? 80% of the population in the United States suffers from back pain, compared to only 5% in many other countries, such as Portugal and Greece. These healthy people move slightly differently than we do. The teaching of the Balance Center is based on more than 35 years of research on these healthy populations. When you stand, bend, sit, walk, and sleep as these people do, your pain can be significantly reduced or eliminated.

SIX WAYS THIS APPROACH IS UNIQUE:

-Balance is based on studying healthy people
-No special devices, special equipment or special chairs are needed
-No exercises or radical positions are required
-Balance dramatically improves your posture
-You use this information immediately in your car, at work, even at the
movies
-A slight shift in position brings relief


WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE BALANCE METHOD?

“For 17 years I spent thousands of dollars for medical treatment and loss of work time to find a solution to relieve lower back pain due to an auto accident.  I sought treatment using acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, osteopathic and more. These treatments were helpful for a short time, but it did not teach me the proper body mechanics for lifelong relief. Surgery and continuous use of drugs was not a viable option.
    The classes I took from Dana at Sonoma Body Balance were my saving grace. I learned how to properly sit, sleep, walk, drive, bend, lift, etc. I have not experienced any back pain since completing the classes.”
- Wayland Lew

Petaluma Friends of Recreation

Petaluma Friends of Recreation (--PFOR), an all-volunteer group representing most of the leagues, teams and recreation interests in town came together in 2009 because of the dilapidated, neglected city fields and facilities. City funding for parks and recreation has never been adequate and has been decimated during the recession. Worse, the city has no capital replacement budget for essential features such as the boiler at the Swim Center or the roof on the community center. PFOR realized that their best chance to save these important community assets, rested with a combined appeal for financing.

Working with municipal finance expert, Craig Hill who lent his time pro bono, PFOR explored every financing option including bonds, sales tax and parcel tax. They chose the parcel tax. Even though it requires two-thirds voter approval, it cannot be re-appropriated by the city for other purposes.

PFOR started with 24 projects that had been identified by the Music Parks and Recreation Commission thru a series of community meetings. That list was narrowed eventually to 8. Together, these eight projects serve toddlers through seniors from every corner of Petaluma, and run the gamut from trails, fields and tennis courts, to parks, playgrounds and recreation centers. Most importantly, the eight can be financed, entirely or substantially by the revenue which could be reasonably generated by a parcel tax.

Next, PFOR raised $15k and hired Godbe & Assoc. to conduct a poll of 300 Petaluma voters, last summer. The eight projects received a very positive response and 61% of those polled said they would support a parcel tax of $68/yr. for 9 years.

Based on that research, PFOR is attempting to qualify a measure for the November ballot which would tax single family residences @ $52/yr. (or, a dollar-a-week) for 15 years, with rates varying between $52 and $500 for commercial, industrial and multi-family parcels. PFOR attempted to keep each rate as low as possible while still generating the $1.24m needed annually for the projects. Proceeds will be used to purchase bonds which will allow construction to begin right away, with funds also available for immediate repairs and for on-going maintenance. Seniors can apply for an exemption from the tax.

PFOR has visited nearly every service club and civic group in Petaluma and heard resoundingly a deep distrust of city government. Therefore, a Citizens Oversight Committee was written into the initiative as part of a process to do everything legally possible to keep the city and state from usurping the parcel tax revenues, and ensuring that those funds are ONLY spent on the eight projects as specified in the measure.

PFOR is presently collecting 4600 signatures of Petaluma voters. That process, which involves only grassroots volunteers and no paid signature gatherers, must be completed by May 15. They are also raising money towards the $85,000 cost of getting a measure on the ballot that can secure a 2/3 vote. Volunteer petition circulators, petition signers, donors and anyone else who wants to help are warmly welcomed. Go to www.PFOR.info to donate, volunteer or learn more.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE RESULTS OF BALANCE?

“I have successfully used Balance Center instructions as part of a comprehensive treatment program for my patients with painful spinal conditions.”
- William Firtch, M.D.

"For 17 years I spent thousands of dollars for medical treatment and loss of work time to find a solution to relieve lower back pain due to an auto accident. I sought treatment using acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, osteopathic and more. These treatments were helpful for a short time, but it did not teach me the proper body mechanics for lifelong relief. Surgery and continuous use of drugs was not a viable option.
The classes I took from Dana at Sonoma Body Balance were my saving grace. I learned how to properly sit, sleep, walk, drive, bend, lift, etc. I have not experienced any back pain since completing the classes."
- Wayland Lew

"This class was a revelation for me. It increased my awareness of being out of Balance and I learned simple changes I can make to become more balanced and pain free. It was powerful learning what I can do on a daily basis to avoid pain. Dana taught us simple techniques to use everyday to correct bad posture and live pain free. It’s given me hope and has been a life changing experience that has put me back in control ."
- Julie Shapiro, Oakland, CA

"Before I took the Balance class, I experienced chronic neck, low back, hip, and gluteal tension, in spite of the fact that I received weekly chiropractic adjustments. While taking the class, my tension decreased significantly. The tools I learned in the class also enabled me to teach basic sitting skills to patients which helped eliminate a major cause of recurring back pain for many of them."
-Jay Bunker, Chiropractor

Taught by Dana Davis, MA, Senior Certified Instructor by the Balance Center in Palo Alto and Certified Yoga Teacher. Class includes slides, practice sitting and bending in Balance, anatomy and individual hands-on guidance. Enrollment is limited. For more information, visit www.sonomabodybalance.com.

Only 7 days left - be a Lucid Dreamer!!!

Friends, Music Lovers, Fellow Aqus Peoples - 

We only have 7 days left in our pledge drive to make the very first Lucid Dreamer CD!!   

Lucid Dreamer (formerly Satori Express) has performed original, creative power pop for last ten years at venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including many festive shows at Aqus Cafe.

We are reaching out to the Aqus community to help raise the funds we need to finish our first record, using a website/tool called KICKSTARTER.

We need good people like you to visit our Kickstarter page (which descibes the project and includes links to audio and video samples) and then PLEDGE any amount of money to the project, from $1 up. 

If we reach our target goal of $3,000 by May 11th, we will get the funds needed to go into the studio and finish our recording.  And if you pledge $20 or more, you'll get a free advanced copy of the CD.
If we don't reach our goal, we won't get any money (that's how Kickstarter works).   

We are halfway there, we just need a few more good hearted music lovers to kick in some bucks.  Please go to the link below, take a listen, and consider making a pledge BEFORE MAY 11th!

Local Filmmaker seeks help funding Documentary on Small
Businesses

Inventing Survival, a new documentary

Small business owners must employ alternative tools and tactics in
order to survive on the same field as corporate giants, and they must
often invent new methods to adapt to the changing field itself.

I want to explore this battlefield and find out what entrepreneurs are
doing to ensure their survival, what they're up against, and what
works.  More importantly, I want to lend a voice to small business
owners that will hopefully start a conversation among consumers and
highlight what's at stake.

Kickstarter is a crowd-sourced funding mechanism that allows
independent creators like myself to fund large projects. In stead of a
few people fronting large sums of money, many people can help get a
project going with just a few dollars each.

Please consider lending a hand to my project, and please help spread
the word. All information can be found at the following link:

Pelican Art Galley hosts Art at the Source Preview Exhibit

Pelican Art Gallery presents Preview exhibit for Art at the Source.
There are two large open studio events in Sonoma County.  The first is Art at the Source, put on by the Sebastopol Center for the Arts.  The event encompasses the first two weekends in June.

In years past, Art at the Source has been limited to West County.  This is the first year that a Petaluma gallery is participating in the preview exhibit.  Pelican Art Gallery will be host to several dozen artists in a Preview Exhibit running from May 10th - June 30th.  Artist reception for this exhibit will be held during the May Art Walk on Saturday, May 12th from 4 - 7pm.  Stop by to meet the artists & enjoy the spectrum of artwork.

Petaluma certainly fits the description on the Art at the Source website: "Renowned for its artist community and bohemian culture, Sonoma County is rich with stunning landscapes, superb cuisine, and world-class wineries making it the perfect  getaway to discover art."   We're proud that Petaluma is being recognized as an art destination".  Several Petaluma artists will be showing their work during this event because of the hard work that Jan Schultz has done with the Sebastopol Center for the Arts.  Jan is a sculptor working in metal.  Her art has been shown in several galleries in Petaluma.  Discover the other artists at http://artatthesource.org.

The 18th annual Art at the Source Tour features 155 artists in 96 studio locations, and the diversity includes painters, sculptors, potters, jewelers, photographers, glass, wood and fiber artists. Many studios have more than one artist.  Pelican Art Gallery is located at 143 Petaluma Blvd North. Contact at www.pelicanart.com or 707-773-3393.  Standard hours are Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 11am - 6pm, otherwise by appointment.

"To mark my 21st birthday, I decided to produce a  body  of work  for my
first solo art show. This show is about exploring questions that  I face
as a young man growing  and  entering  the  world.  I am  drawn  to wood
carving as my main medium because i enjoy dealing  with  a material that
yields consequences, if not done carefully, and the romance of  creating
art through the process of destruction. I have  always  been  interested
in  mechanics  of any  sort.  The  irrefutable  cause   and   effects of
machinery provide a safe haven for me in a world  where  almost  nothing
is straightforward. For this show,  I  chose  my subjects  to  be things
that i can physically see or touch, because the life in  front  of me is
my greatest influence. For me, a picture or  video  is  never  enough to

Learning to Love a Wounded World By Dianne Monroe

In his book Eaarth, Bill McKibben explains that the effects of man-made global warming are not a thing of the future, but are already here now. Human activity for the past centuries has already changed the Earth we thought we knew. How can we learn to love this damaged Earth that human activity (both knowingly and unknowingly) has created? How do we wrap our brains and hearts around something this huge? And how do we do this in a way that offers healing, renewal, genuine hope and a path forward?

Wanted: Summer Sublet

I am a 23 year old recent graduate that works two restaurant jobs in Petaluma. I currently live in Santa Rosa but am looking to cut out the commute! My awesome cat and I are social, but don't party hard, clean, respectful, and understand the importance of great communication. We would like a place under $600ish from June 1st to the end of August. Thanks in advance to all that consider helping us out.
