Person of the Month, Bayer Farm.
La Voz’s Person of the Month articles celebrate outstanding members of the community and their contributions to our region. Since our inception we have featured folks from both private and public sectors as well as local college students. Some, like the community leaders we’ve featured are well-known. Others are not, but richly deserving the recognition for their civic contributions. We’ve featured artists, athletes, educators, elected officials, business professionals, community organizers, TV and print media people and even a woman who cleans houses for a living. But this is the first time we’ve featured a farm.
El artículo sobre La Persona del Mes celebra
a los miembros sobresalientes de la comunidad y sus contribuciones a nuestra región. Desde que empezamos, hemos presentado a personas, tanto del sector privado como del público, asi como a estudiantes de las escuelas locales. Algunos, como los líderes comunitarios que hemos presentado, son muy conocidos. Otros no, pero se merecen mucho el reconocimiento por sus contribuciones a la sociedad. Hemos presentado a artistas, atletas, maestros, servidores públicos, profesionales de negocios, organizadores comunitarios, gente de la TV y de los medios y hasta a una mujer que limpia casas como medio de vida. Sin embargo, esta es la primera vez que presentamos una granja.

Person of the Month, Martín Zuñíga.
“My mission for Santa Rosa is to find underrepresented artists and make sure they are in galleries, museums, and in the art world. Generally, I’m looking for these artists in the special education classrooms, in the criminal justice system, in the fields, in communities that are usually not associated with the fine art world. These artists express experiences that need to be shared and appreciated, and I want to make sure there is a space for all of us, and a light shining on this work too.”
“Mi misión para Santa Rosa es encontrar a artistas poco conocidos y asegurarme de que estén en galerías, museos y en el mundo del arte. En general, yo busco a estos artistas en los salones de clases de educación especial, en el sistema de justicia criminal, en los campos, en las comunidades que normalmente no están asociadas con el fino mundo del arte. Estos artistas expresan experiencias que necesitan ser compartidas y apreciadas y yo quiero asegurarme de que haya espacio para todos nosotros, y una luz que ilumine estos trabajos también.”

The Humanist Community by Noris Binet. Many believe that we are again
living through a historic moment that reaffirms the belief that humanism is not only essential but inevitable if we want to find ways to compel organizations to respond effectively to the real needs of communities. When work practices, implementation of programs and jobs look beyond just basic needs and address the “total human” as a core concern, then there arises an opportunity for communities to move forward and lead their own destiny.

The holiday season is upon us and along with it come some special concerns for your pets. A delicious tray of Christmas chocolates or Halloween candy can turn into a toxic treat.
A stray turkey bone could be a choking hazard and even a piece of tinsel could be life threatening. The good news is once you know what the hazards are, you can easily keep your pets safe and sound for the holidays. See page 3.
