| Assisted-living patient arrested in hand saw attack; 3 hurt
(01-30) 15:12 PST PETALUMA -- A resident of an assisted living facility was arrested early today after he allegedly attacked a fellow resident with a hand saw and threw a wheelchair down a flight of stairs at officers, who finally subdued him with the use of a stun gun. David J. Cooper, 53, faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a police officer in the 1:35 a.m. incident. About that time, Petaluma police received a report of a disturbance inside the Sunrise Assisted Living Facility at 815 Wood Sorrel Drive. Responding officers found a female resident in the lobby suffering from what appeared to be serious head wounds, said Sgt. Matthew Stapleton. Employees alerted officers that the suspect, later identified as Cooper, was still armed and inside the home.
Batavia woman, WWII nursemourned
Growing up in a farmhouse that lacked indoor plumbing, Margaret Wood couldnt have realized her future would include flying trans-Atlantic flights as a Womens Army Air Corps nurse during World War II. Her assignment with the 817th Medical Air Evacuation squadron took her to France, Germany and the Azores, where she transported wounded troops to England for more medical treatment. Patriotism led her to enlist in the service after graduating from nursing school at the University of Michigan. We got all caught up in the spirit of the adventure, and it just seemed the thing to do, Wood told a newspaper reporter several years ago. A longtime resident of Western Springs and a Batavia resident since 1998, Wood died Monday after a brief illness. She was 87. Born Feb. 21, 1919, the former Margaret Langdon grew up in Hubbardston, a small Michigan farm town.

Broome County considers new site for nursing home
"If we don't have the (nursing home) beds, many of our loved ones would have to be sent out of Broome County, which would be hardship for many families." Legislature Chairman Mark R. Whalen, who represents part of the East Side, said Tuesday that as with all large county capital expenditures, he's skeptical of the project until he's convinced the county needs it and it's something people in his district want. When asked for a show of hands, none of the residents on Tuesday indicated they were opposed to a new nursing home on the East Side or on the former psychiatric center campus, just its proposed location in the bowl. Lifetime East Side resident Chris McAuliffe said he would be glad to see jobs return to the East Side once the proposed nursing home opened. "It will be a very positive thing to revive the East Side," said McAuliffe.
