Quote, its now absolutely clear from solid evidence that he has been systematically been stealing from parishes and parishioners for the past 15 years. What he has done constitutes a great crime, even in the church. While the church took the case to the Santa Rosa Police, there does not appear to be enough evidence to prosecute. Its hard to explain, you know . To hear that, you know . For me, money is not so important. Its the relationship with people and the trust that might be broken. Reporter as of now the diocese has removed father oscar from his priestly duties probably forever. And parish members . If the father were here now, what would you say to him . Id hug him. And let that speak for itself. Reporter we did ask the Sonoma CountyDistrict Attorney if they plan to press charges. That office said they have received nothing from the Santa Rosa Police department.

Working in the sense that people are noticing them. Like this one right here that im going to show you right behind us. It says prevent auto thefts. Please take your valuables with you. People are seeing them, but theyre just not doing anything about it. Theyre still leaving their belongings inside their cars. And what the officer was telling me, one big advice is if you are going to take those 10, 15 minutes to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, leave someone in your car or stay, just watching this area to make sure that your belongings, if youre moving or you have your suitcases, because youre on your way to the airport, theyre not unattended.

Good health, its more than just your body and how you feel. Dr. Robert kilpatrick is its getting more and more chaotic every day. What is your definition of wellbeing . I suppose wellbeing, larry, is vibrancy, and the ability from a mental and physical and spiritual perspective to be effective in the world and do what you want to do. How do we get there . Since it seems like many of us are heading in the opposite direction. Well, the Commonwealth Club of california has decided that well have a summer series to try and answer that question. Good plug. Thats a professional interviewee right there, move. Right. The art and science of wellbeing starts on july 31st. Okay. And you have a weekly series . We have about, oh, 15 or 16 speakers in the course of the month. Okay. Go ahead. Whats going to be emphasized . Well, we have a spectrum. We have lori davies adams, chief executive of pollinator partnership, the largest in the world, focused on improving the environment of pollinators. Her talk is bees, butterflies and wellbeing.

You mentioned to me before we went on you do meditation and some other things to try to get the right state of mind. When you look at the impact social media is having on people in general, what do you think . I think its best to control that. And one way to do that is to do things like chi gong and tai chi where you focus more on your body and your mind. A friend of mine, lee holden, who is probably the most famous chi gong master in the United States, is coming to democrat on chi gong for the audience and involve everyone in an experience i think on august 2nd.

Japan is second, singapore third, macau is fourth, san moreno is 5th. I was surprised to see the United States in terms of Life Expectancy was 43rd in the world at 79. 6 years of age. Why . Well, the strange thing about that, larry, is that the United States spends about twice as much per capita per person on health care and yet as you say, were not even in the top 25. So its a question of a system thats very inefficient, that is not providing health care, you know, for the vast majority of citizens, and ill go on the record since this is an opportunity i think that all americans and People Living in the United States should have access to health care, at least at some level. And particularly children. Okay. How much is diet a part of this, do you think . Huge, and i could lose ten pounds. Okay. How can the public get involved with the art of and science of wellbeing which is coming up at the Commonwealth Club . Its really simple. You can register at www. Commonwealth. Org.
