Innovative Labs Announces “Sonoma Breeze”

Petaluma, California
Innovative Labs-LLC announces Sonoma Breeze, a new air filter system.

“Sonoma Breeze uses Nil-VOCS photo catalytic oxidation cores that destroy VOCs,” said Innovative Labs founder John Webley. It continuously draws air into the air purifier where UV light activates a long-lasting titanium photo catalytic reactor core, breaking down and eliminating odors, pollutants, airborne biological contaminants and VOCs. Of 14 leading air purifiers, Sonoma Breeze is the only air filter that meets the rigorous metrics set by the CDC and NASA for removing airborne formaldehyde. For more information, contact Innovative Labs at (707) 527 9714.

Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery

In the May, 2011 issue of Mortuary Management, there is an article titled, "Historian Seeks to Change Racial Slur on Graves." The story is about the Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery where the graves of many people, from several cemeteries, were moved when Folsom Dam was constructed in 1954. Due to an interest in cemeteries, I've been following this story for some time. Several weeks ago I was in the area on business and was able to photograph the cemetery and the graves. I've attached both a photo of one of the graves in question as well as a recent article from the Sacramento Bee newspaper reporting the resolution of the problem.
