A service dog is the key to independence for many disabled people. Beyond opening doors and flicking light switches, dogs offer companionship and emotional support. Since the service dog concept was founded by Bonita Bergin in 1975, the use of service dogs has spread around the United States and the world. After visiting Cuba in 2011, Bergin University of Canine Studies master student Davis Hawn, (at left) was inspired to bring service dogs to the people of Cuba. With the help of Beatriz de la Osa, (right) a Bergin student from Cuba, the creation of the first Cuban Assistance Dog training facility is underway. It will be called The Booster Center, in honor of Hawn’s yellow Labrador retriever, Booster (with the eye glasses).

He marched alongside Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and campaigned for Bobby Kennedy. He joined the Native Americans and African-Americans in a quest for justice and helped found the California Human Development Corporation (CHD), a beacon of hope for the poorest of the poor; the immigrant artists of this beautiful landscape we call the North Bay. After 45 years of working for farmworker’s rights through CHD, Aurelio Hurtado retired this past June, leaving a legacy of service that empowers and inspires. We sat down with him to get a glimpse of the man behind the legend.

Redwood Empire Food Bank and Network for a Healthy California Team Up to Promote Summer Food Program and Active PLAY! Redwood Empire Food Bank and Network for a Healthy California teamed up to launch the Summer Food Program at five different sites in Sonoma County. REFB supplies healthy lunches at 46 sites during the summer for children less than 18 years of age. Network for a Healthy California helped out by coordinating a physical activity section of the kick-off that included a watermelon walk, relay races, a smoothie bike, a hand-crank smoothie machine, melon weight-lifting and the bright and cheerful Nutri-Beast from Kaiser Permanente.
According to a study by the American Journal of Public Health, children gain weight more than twice as fast during the summer as they do during the regular school year. The difference between school and summer gain rates was especially large for three at-risk subgroups: Black and Hispanic children, as well as those already overweight.
“The study’s findings suggest that children benefit from school’s structured environment, which includes scheduled meals, snacks and recess,” said Jennifer McClendon, Network for a Healthy California–Northcoast Region Program Director.
