NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A three-alarm fire tore through three attached residential homes, forcing residents to run for their lives on Staten Island.
The blaze was reported around 7:40 a.m. Friday and declared under control at 8:45 a.m.
It erupted at 106 Pitney Ave. in the Bloomingdale section of the borough and quickly spread to two other units, the FDNY said. The three were in a row of seven attached three-story homes.
"Very scary. I didn't even have sneakers on, I just ran out," Christina Polizzotto, who was forced to flee her burning home with her little boy, Eddie, told CBS 2's Scott Rapoport. "The whole house just went up."
Off-duty FDNY firefighter Leonard Tyrell lives nearby and quickly sprung into action.
"I saw smoke coming from the rear of 106," he told WCBS 880's Jim Smith. "Just ran across the street and got them out. I knocked on all the neighbors' doors, got them out."
Tyrell's quick thinking helped startle residents awake as the homes went up in flames.
Department of Sanitation workers Jay Visone and August Cocuzza were working in the neighborhood when the blaze erupted.
Neighbors said the two also started to alert residents.
"We saw the houses on fire and together we just ran to the homes and just started ringing on door bells," Visone said.
Video from the scene showed huge flames and heavy smoke rising from the buildings at the height of the fire.
"It was just advanced fire on arrival and we had to stretch numerous hand lines," deputy fire chief Dave Smith said.
Thirty-three units and about 138 firefighters responded to the scene.
Seven firefighters suffered minor injuries; one civilian refused medical attention, fire officials said.

The 2012 election season in Wakulla has been marked by high rainfall totals. However, the rain isn't the only thing making it muddy here on the Gulf coast.
I recently wrote a letter to the editor of our local weekly about a 2012 county commission race in Wakulla. One candidate is an incumbent. Commissioner Mike Stewart was elected to the commission, sat out a term, and then was re-elected in 2008. The challenging candidate Howard Kessler is a former county commissioner who was defeated in 2010. Kessler has moved to a different district to run in 2012.
Recently, a Facebook page paid for by an ECO started slinging mud about issues related to gay marriage and family values. Wakulla can be fairly conservative. Our county's neighbor to the north, Leon, is more liberal. It is a college town and a human rights ordinance was passed there a few years ago. A few miles south, down here on the coast, marriage equality is not yet on the radar. However, in a community where people may ask what church you attend when they first meet you, a conversation about conservative family values resonates with many citizens.
In 2008, the Florida Marriage Amendment, also known as Proposition 2 and The Marriage Protection Amendment, was a proposed initiated constitutional amendment to the Florida Constitution. It appeared on the November 4, 2008 ballot in Florida. In order to pass, the amendment required a 60% majority of those voting in the election.
The ballot language said, "This amendment protects marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife and provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized."
The measure passed statewide with a healthy margin:
Amendment 2 (2008)
Result Votes Percentage
Approved Yes 4,645,602 62.1%
No 2,833,052 37.9%
The amendment joined the following other marriage "protection" measures in Florida law:
Florida Statute 741.212(1) defines marriage as the legal union between one man and one woman and provides that the term "spouse" applies only to a member of such union (FL. Stat. 741.212(1),(3)).
Florida also adopted a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1997 which was codified as Florida Statute 741.212.
In 2008, in Wakulla, out of 14,066 cast, 9930 votes were cast in favor of Amendment 2. At the time, there were 18,566 registered voters in the county.
That said, it is interesting that someone would try to make marriage equality in this county commission race.
August 20, 2012
Dear Editor,
I planned to wait a bit after the primary election to write another political letter but recent events have prompted me to cut the wait short. A few weeks ago I noticed that electioneering communication focused on the County Commission Seat 3 race had started to appear. Print ads, Facebook pages, and websites had appeared – some focused on the candidacy of former County Commissioner Howard Kessler and others focused on current Commissioner Mike Stewart.
As of now, the Wakulla Democratic Party has not endorsed a candidate in this race. We may not do so at all since there is no Democratic candidate in the race. However, as a voting citizen of this county, I personally have an interest in the outcome of this race. Previously, I have voted for both Mike Stewart and Howard Kessler – albeit for different races. I have never had to choose between them on a ballot before. Their campaigns in this cycle will influence how I cast my vote this November.
Over the weekend, I saw an electioneering site on Facebook take a very negative turn. Previously, the Facebook page and the website http://www.tellthetruthmikestewart.com/ critiqued Commissioner Stewart's record in office. However, on Saturday, a post from the Facebook page administrator posed questions about Commissioner Stewart's ties to a group called Floridians for Accountability engaged in electioneering communication against Dr. Howard Kessler. The posting suggested that the group supported marriage equality, but referred to the issue as "gay marriage" and questioned Commissioner Stewart's family values.
I was disturbed by this negative turn. No human rights ordinance has been proposed in Wakulla County. There has been no referendum on marriage of any kind in this community. Why say this and why attack someone's family values for something that would be a state or federal issue rather than a county commission issue?
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be a link between Commissioner Stewart and this electioneering communications organization.
On my own Facebook page, I linked to the electioneering page and spoke out against negative campaigning. I also called for Dr. Kessler to take a stand against the page. Both Commissioner Stewart and Dr. Kessler responded to my posts. Other community members participated in the thread as well.
The Facebook page has since been taken down or perhaps I have been blocked from viewing it but the address and name were https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tell-the-Truth-Mike-Stewart/372675729469564?ref=ts. The thread on my own Facebook page disappeared with it. The page still shows up in search engines but can no longer be accessed.
Tell the Truth, Mike Stewart – Résumé | Facebook
Tell the Truth, Mike Stewart. 11 likes • 1 talking about this.
I felt compelled to write this letter because Dr. Kessler stated that he did not approve of negative campaigning and that he had no connection to the Facebook page or to the website http://www.tellthetruthmikestewart.com/. Both sites were listed as paid electioneering communication paid for by FLQOL, 3019 Spirea Street, Sarasota, FL 34231. This group is the Florida Quality of Life Council, Inc. It is a registered electioneering communications organization. The only source of income for this group are a series of inkind donations for accounting made by the BATTLEGROUND GROUP, INC.
An inquiry into the actual IP address of the website http://www.tellthetruthmikestewart.com/ shows that it is registered to Republican political strategist Chris Akins – see the screen shot attached to this letter. Mr. Akins lists Dr. Kessler as a client and also refers to their professional association in a June Facebook post – see the screen shot attached to this letter. However, there doesn't seem to be a record of payment to Chris Akins or Akins Campaign Strategy listed on Dr. Kessler's campaign finance reports filed with the Wakulla Supervisor of Elections. If Mr. Akins is donating his services, shouldn't that be listed as an inkind contribution to Dr. Kessler's campaign?
I believe there is a place in politics for electioneering communication. However, I think such groups need to stick to actual issues that are relevant to the race. I think it is important that candidates are honest with citizens about efforts undertaken on their behalf. To say, "this is terrible and I didn't authorize it nor do I condone it" is one thing. Candidates can't always control what their supporters do. However, in this instance, the connecting lines between Dr. Kessler, Chris Akins, FQOL, the Battleground Group, and the negative electioneering communication sites beg for scrutiny.
I'm calling for a clean, honest race for County Commission Seat 3 in which the candidates stick to the issues and campaign on their own merits. Candidates, please keep it clean.
Rachel Sutz Pienta
Chair, Wakulla Democratic Party

There is nothing controversial on any of the projects, only that there are not enough of them. We have a craft room that is nothing , but angels, all of the proceeds from the angels go to do Gods work. I love the topiary angel and I'm sure it will be in our shop. Sandy@Mrs. C's

I don't understand why every time that Religion is introduced it is considered taboo.. I am a Christian and I find that these representations of faith are a beautiful testimony and gives crafters an opportunity to share their Joy through the things they love.

Modeled after an infamous royal residence in France's Loire Valley, Chateau Marmont opened its doors in 1929. It was originally a luxury apartment residence, but was converted to a hotel during the Great Depression. The hotel was acquired and restored in 1990 by André Balazs. The hotel has become a celebrity in its own right.
The hotel is popular with celebrities both for its iconic appearance and its private accommodations. Each of the sixty-three rooms, cottages and bungalows are a home of their own. The majority have full kitchens, sitting areas or living rooms, some have formal dining rooms, balconies and private terraces. The scale is gracious from a long gone era, perfect for hosting an impromptu party-thick soundproof walls ensure privacy.
In 2010, Sofia Coppola directed her movie Somewhere at the hotel. The opening scene of The Canyons was shot at the Bar Marmont. Other celebrities would have produced work at the hotel include Hunter S. Thompson, Annie Leibovitz, Dorothy Parker, Bruce Weber, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tim Burton, and Jay McInerney.

Did You Know? The Beverly Hills Hotel
July 2, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Legendary billionaire heir, Hollywood producer, and recluse Howard Hughes spent a good chunk of his life in a bungalow at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Hughes famously became a recluse after an aviation accident that nearly killed him. In 1947, he spent four months in his private screening room, where he subsisted on a diet of chocolate, chicken, and milk. After he emerged, Hughes took up residence in Bungalow 4 at the legendary Pink Palace. He allegedly left his Cadillac outside and unused for so long that the tires went flat and plants began to grow in the car's interior. His wife and key staff members also took up residence in the hotel, albeit in different rooms.
Hughes spent time living in other luxury hotels. In the early 1940s, he lived in the Sunset Tower Hotel. Hughes and his entourage occupied the entire top floor and the 14th floor as well. He also spent time at Eden Rock Hotel on St. Barth's. The luxury resort has a suite named after him. The Howard Hughes loft is situated on top of the iconic main house, and has three terraces and a stunning 360° view of the bay. The suite also has a King size bed, kitchenette, dining area, spacious living area, and 2 copper clad bathrooms.

His Own Mother the Victim of a Murder, Psychologist Everett Worthington Jr. Explains Why We Must Learn to Forgive
"I got so angry," says Worthington, 52, recalling the night he learned of the murder. "I looked at a baseball bat and said, I wish I could have that guy here. I'd beat his brains out.' Then I thought, 'Whose heart is darker?' "
Worthington, who lives in Richmond with his wife of 28 years, Kirby, a child-development specialist, and Katy Anna, 16, the youngest of their four children, says he no longer harbors hate for his mother's killer. Contributor Alicia Brooks Waltman talked to Worthington about the importance and difficulty of learning to forgive.
Why is forgiveness such a hot topic now?
President Clinton's infidelity, warfare in Kosovo, the Littleton massacre—all these things have forgiveness as their root issue. So forgiveness is very much on people's minds.
Why should we forgive people who hurt us?
There are obvious benefits to forgiving someone with whom you have an ongoing relationship—your child, your parent, your spouse. Such relationships are important; forgiveness helps people learn to live together.
If you have been hurt by an institution instead of a person, it is still good, psychologically, to forgive. Look at Nelson Mandela, who spent 20 years in jail but refused to take vengeance on the white establishment that imprisoned him. All major religions promote forgiveness because people obviously hurt each other again and again, and forgiveness preserves the social fabric.
What are the risks of being unforgiving?
Refusing to forgive can have health consequences. Holding grudges is a kind of hostility, and chronic hostility is related to a high risk of cardiovascular problems. It's also a source of stress that could be harmful over the long term.
Isn't it sometimes foolish to forgive? At some point, for example, shouldn't Hillary Clinton or Pamela Anderson Lee stop forgiving their partners?
That's confusing reconciliation and forgiveness. Forgiving means accepting what has happened and deciding not to seek revenge. Should you forgive? I think yes, always. But should you always reconcile? Maybe not. Consider a woman who is being beaten by her husband but keeps going back to him. She can forgive him—without staying with him.
How do you teach people to forgive?
By following five steps, using the acronym REACH.
R is for recall the hurt; relive the pain and acknowledge that an offense was committed against you.
E stands for empathizing with the person who hurt you by trying to understand his motivations. I tried to imagine the guy who broke into my mother's house. He doesn't expect anyone to be home; when he hears someone behind him, he just reacts.
A is for altruism: You give the gift of forgiveness. As a Christian, I knew I could be forgiven by God for the rage I had in my heart, so who am I not to grant forgiveness to whoever did this?
C stands for a real commitment to forgiveness.
And H means holding on to forgiveness. Forgiving my mother's killer didn't take away missing her, the sorrow, the loss at such a tragedy. But it took away a lot of the anger, a lot of the hatred.
How long does it take to forgive?
Forgiveness is something you deal with after the tears stop rolling. For example, it's important for the parents and students in Littleton to experience their grief fully and deal with it. They shouldn't rush.
Are people more forgiving than they used to be?
It's in vogue for people to say that they are forgiving, but if they really are, I don't know. It's easier to hold a grudge these days, because electronic connections have replaced many personal ones. If someone makes you angry, it's easy not to return their e-mail or phone message.
What do you say to people who think that being forgiving makes them look weak?
It takes more courage to forgive than to hold a grudge. If I hold a grudge because I'm angry, I feel stronger. But to say I want to set that anger aside—that takes courage.

Green algae in an East Africa aquarium / Which fluorescent tubes?
I have a problem with green algae. Now I read that one is supposed to replace the fluorescent tubes regularly. I have peacock cichlids, what kind of tubes do you recommend in this case?
usually, elevated nitrate levels are responsible in case of green algae, which is rather common in aquariums with East African fish due to the mostly low number of plants. Increased water changes with water low in nitrate are advisable in this case as well as adding more plants if possible - Vallisneria plantss are suitable, at least with non-herbivorous fish species - and using about 1 liter sera siporax per each 100 liters of aquarium water in the filter (this leads to nitrate breakdown directly in the biofilter).
In particular, the sera daylight brilliant and the sera blue sky fluorescent tubes are suitable for lighting East Africa aquariums. They can advantageously be used in combination; a sera plant color may be a useful additional tube.
Best regards
sera GmbH

Why yes… fishseddy I guess I did! That's hilarious. Wouldn't be the first time something comes up in the spring that I have no idea what it is.
yes Sharon, that is what I think – a large moth but how in the world do they get out of the ground???

But maybe some sort of hawk moth??? (she said hopefully)
It has the right size but it doesn't have that sort of horn thing on the outside. There are lots of hawkmoths here – maybe an achemon (sp?)
I think it has wings – because of you can sort of see them. I don't know if we have cicadas here Resa? I could follow that lead and have a looksee tho

Aw gross fishs. I hope that isn't it! On the other hand, I have never seen a cicada in my life so hopefully they don't live here as they seem just too yucky.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, April 3 (HealthDay News) -- Following the presentation of a new research initiative designed to map the human brain, set out in the State of the Union address, the Obama administration has unveiled the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, according to a White House press release issued April 2.
Congress has been asked to commit $100 million in the President's Fiscal Year 2014 Budget for this 10-year project, which aims to accelerate the development and application of new technologies to help record and map neurotransmission and complex neural pathways, and ultimately to find ways to treat, cure, and prevent neurological disorders.
The BRAIN initiative includes key investments to start research; in 2014, the National Institutes of Health, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation will support about $100 million in research. Strong academic leadership has been selected to define detailed scientific goals and a multi-year plan for achieving these goals. Key private sector parties will also be involved in the initiative, including the Allen Institute, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Kavli Foundation, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, under the direction of the President, will explore the ethical, legal, and societal issues pertaining to the research initiative.
"This initiative has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of neural circuits, providing the fundamental knowledge that is critical for developing treatments for a host of neurological and psychiatric disorders," Dr. David Fitzpatrick, scientific director and chief executive officer of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, in Jupiter, Fla. said in a statement.

I happened upon MDA while looking for a substitute for my Payday addiction, I found a recipe that was Ok, but more important I got the bigger message. anyway I made my own great nut bar that I love. My version isn't purely Primal, but it fits my plan and goals which are to control my blood sugar.
1 3/4 C Splenda, or "some" honey
1/2 C Milk
1/2 C (stick) Butter
1/4 C Coco Powder
1/2 C Nut Butter
3 C total of any combination of nuts, seeds, coconut, and Dried Berries
I like to use toasted almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut, and cranberries
optional dash or so of Pumpkin Pie Spice, or something like it
Bring first four ingredients to a boil over Medium High heat and boil for 90 seconds (don't go too far away)
mix in nut butter, vanilla, and spice, until incorporated
mix in nut mix.
You can press the mix into a baking dish and chill and cut into bars, which can be tricky getting out, or make into balls. which ever you like.

The filly Summer Applause, who won an allowance race Saturday by seven lengths in her first start on dirt and around two turns, might race next in the Silverbulletday on Jan. 21, trainer Josie Carroll said Sunday.
"We've got to test her caliber before we go down the road,'' Carroll said. "We're tentatively going in that direction.''
The Silverbulletday for 3-year-old fillies is the first two-turn stakes prep for the Fair Grounds Oaks.
Ridden on Saturday by Robby Albarado, Summer Applause led all the way, running a mile and 70 yards in 1:43.55 to score her second victory in three starts. Her first two races were on the synthetic surface at Woodbine.
"We needed to try her on the dirt and see what she has,'' Carroll said.

A group of 7 migrants discovered at Border Patrol checkpoint, large cocaine seizure days earlier
The El Centro Sector Border Patrol released a news brief on Thursday, March 28th, confirming the apprehension of 7 Mexican nationals who were hiding in a refrigerated truck. The truck, which was carrying watermelons, was stopped at the inspection point between Salton City and Westmorland about 4a.m. on Thursday. Dogs alerted agents of the hidden passengers, which consisted of 6 men and 1 woman. The driver was also taken into custody.
On Friday, March 22nd, 38 pounds of cocaine were apprehended at the same checkpoint in Imperial County. The drugs are estimated by officials to be worth $1.2 million. A 32 year old Mexican citizen, who holds legal permanent residency in the U.S., was apprehended.
The interior checkpoint, where the arrests took place, lies on Highway 86, approximately 46 miles northwest of the U.S.-Mexico border crossing at Calexico.

DWTS' Maksim Speaks Out On Sabrina's Elimination
Photo: CRAIG SJODIN/ABC
Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan may have been the celebrity voted off Dancing with the Stars last night, but it's one of her chief competitors who's growling about her elimination.
"I'm going to be the a**hole and say that there were couples, celebrities, that should've been eliminated tonight," pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who's partnered with Spice Girl Melanie Brown, told Extra after both Bryan and soap star Cameron Mathison were singled out for elimination. "The two in the bottom two were not."
When the final tally of votes came in, Bryan and partner Mark Ballas were sent packing in what was deemed the biggest upset in the show's history. It prompted reactions ranging from stunned to angry from her competitors, the studio audience and even the show's judges.
"I'm really upset. I'm kind of heartbroken," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Extra. "As a female competitor, we have never seen anybody as good as Sabrina." –Scott Huver

MOBILE, Alabama -- The puppy that had been thrown from a third-story balcony continues to improve, Dr. Jeni Knizley at the South Alabama Spay & Neuter Center said today.
The weeks-old, long-haired dachshund puppy was injured March 27 after she was thrown from the balcony of an apartment at Barrington Park Apartments on Cottage Hill Road. She landed in a grassy area and was taken to the center in serious condition.
"Her (Lola's) liver enzymes are still elevated," Knizley said. "She's active and playful and seems to be making a very good recovery.
"I would say she's got a good prognosis at this point, but unless there is permanent liver damage, she should be fine," Knizley said. "She's perked up and barking and acting like a puppy."
Kendria Dexter, the puppy's owner, was arrested March 28 and charged with cruelty to animals. She was released from Mobile County Metro Jail with bail set at $1,000, jail records show.
As of this morning, there were 35 applications from pet lovers wanting to give Lola a permanent home, Knizley said.
Adoption applications can be found at saveastray.org. Donations can also be made.
Knizley said those who wish to adopt Lola will have to wait until the criminal case is resolved.

Here is how our program works:
When a player picks their free lottery numbers for the week, they must visit a sponsor first. YOU can be that sponsor!

Mother's Day is May 11 and we have some great stories being readied for publication that readers sent us.
One story is a delightfully written tribute to a son's mother, in which, he describes how she dealt with any hostility thrown her way with humor and a swift turn of the cheek.
But, in preparation for Father's Day in June, we're now looking for readers' stories about their fathers; or the men that served as father figures.
In honor of Father's Day, we'd love to hear from readers like you as to how you feel about your own father. What did your dad mean to you, teach you, or how did he influence you? And send photos of your dad along with your story.
In my own case, I never particularly thought my dad was a strong father figure – perhaps because he lacked parental role modeling after his mother died when he was only 5 years old and his own father often left in search of work during the Great Depression.
But, I looked up to my dad with deep respect and admiration.
Without perhaps even intending to be, he was a great mentor and life coach. I lost my dad in 2005 and yet I often wish that we could still sit down and talk because I so appreciated his outlook on life.
I miss you Dad.
Send us your story. Don't worry about how polished your story might be – we'll help!
Send your stories and photos to: email@example.com.

Slimming down your thighs requires a whole leg approach, and your legs are complex muscular entities. The secret to slimmer thighs is finding the perfect exercise combination to reduce and elongate without adding bulk. While you can't spot reduce a particular part of the body, a low-intensity, beginner's workout mixing yoga and strength training will focus on stretching and toning while slimming your thighs and providing muscle definition.
Step 1
Move from all fours into a pushup position and tighten your abdominal muscles for Downward-Facing Dog, a popular thigh slimming yoga position. Inhale, and as you exhale, bring your hips toward the ceiling. Imagine a string attached to your tailbone, pulling you upward. Lock your arms and slant your upper body downward, your face looking toward your toes. Relax your head while inhaling and exhaling, keeping your heels pressed to the floor and your knees straight. Hold the position for 30 seconds. Inhale, lower your hips and then move onto your knees. Slowly sit back, your buttocks resting your feet, feeling the stretch in your upper thighs.
Step 2
The dumbbell step-up is a go-to strength training move that works the thigh muscles to trim away fat. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand in front of the step with your feet shoulder-width apart and your shoulders pulled back. Keep your back straight. While holding the dumbbells at your sides, step up onto the step or stair with your left foot. Using the left leg for support, bring your right leg up. Imagine you are stepping onto a higher step and then lower the right leg to the ground. Step off the step and switch legs.
Step 3
The High-Lunge is a relaxing yoga position that tones the thighs and glutes. Begin in a pushup position, using your arms to support your weight. Loosen your knees, inhale and bring your right knee to your chest. Rest your chest against your right thigh. Your left foot should be flat against the floor. Straighten your knee, pushing your thigh upward. Inhale and exhale throughout. Feel the stretch and exhale as you step your right foot back, switching legs and repeating the steps.
- Wear appropriate workout attire. Shoes are not advised for the yoga positions, but are recommended for the step-up portion.

Feeling good!
Yesterday I made a great dish, super excited. I made a [I][U]sauerkraut salad[/U][/I] with a homemade mayonnaise dressing (egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard) the salad had apple, caraway seed, cheese, pimentos, green bell pepper, and onion in it. I REALLY like Sauerkraut I guess... but hey I am made up of 50% German
Any one know the health benefits of sauerkraut... ?
Today should be a good one, I have already been productive at 6:00 this a.m. about to head to work and I have an afternoon planned of either hiking or biking with my dad, haven't decided which one yet ( thinking I want to hike, but dad wants to bike)

|NEWS UPDATE: Olmsted looks to enter race for Cotati City Council seat
Alden Olmsted's name will not appear on the Nov. 6 ballot, but the Cotati resident is in the process of filing paperwork to be a write-in candidate for one of the three city council seats up for grabs.
Olmsted, according to deputy city clerk Tami Taylor, has yet to garner enough signatures to qualify as a write-in candidate. He had originally turned in the requisite 20 signatures, but some of those proved invalid. Taylor said she doesn't doubt he'll gather enough signatures in time.
Hel'll jump into the mix with Mayor Susan Harvey, councilman John Dell'Osso, first-time candidate Wendy Skillman and former councilman George Barich. Councilwoman Janet Orchard has opted not to run for reelection.
Olmsted is a seven-year Cotati resident and the son of conservationist John Olmsted.
He also is a distant cousin to landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. He was born and raised in Sonoma.
The 41-year-old filmmaker and photographer said he decided to run for two reasons - concern for the Downtown Specific Plan and the current makeup of the council.
"I looked at who was on the council, and it was the same faces," Olmsted said. "Maybe they need some young blood. I think there's a disconnect between the current city council and the people of Cotati."
He said he wants to help Cotati maintain its Cotati-ness.
"I want to help Cotati grow in a way that keeps Cotati Cotati...that maintains the small-town feel," Olmsted said. "It's my desire for Cotati not to become a city no one wants to live in."
It seems the most pressing issue in Cotati is roundabouts on Old Redwood Highway. Olmsted said he's against roundabouts and is a supporter of Measure U, which if approved by voters, will ban roundabouts, traffic circles or "any similar traffic feature."
