LASSEN COUNTY Times Vol. 38, No. 38 lassennews.com Tuesday, July 5, 2016 Serving Susanville and Surrounding Areas (530) 257-5321 50 cents Supervisors discuss Jefferson resolution Makenzie Davis News Editor [email protected] Main Cruise The annual Main Cruise attracted attendees and showed off classic cars. See page 2A Marijuana committee The Lassen County Board of Supervisors discussed creating a committee to look into the matter. See page 1B With the voters of Lassen County deciding they were not interested in splitting from the state of California to form a new state of Jefferson, the resolution passed by the board of supervisors in 2015 essentially self-destructed, according to chairman of the board Jim Chapman. During the Tuesday, June 28 Lassen County Board of Supervisors meeting, the board posed a question of potentially rescinding the declaration and petition approved by the board in a 3to-2 vote in March 2015, which was under the condition it was approved by the voters during the June 7 Presidential Primary Presidential Election. According to the Summary Election Results from the Lassen County Clerks office, Measure G, which asked voters if they’d like to leave California, failed with 3,964 votes against and 3,094 for it. “The resolution was conditional upon submitting it to the voters at the June primary this year. It was, and the voters rejected it,” said Jim Chapman, noting there was a “poison pill” in the resolution, which killed the resolution since the voters were not in favor of it. “I thought people made the decision, and I respect that,” said supervisor Bob Pyle, wondering why the matter was on the agenda again. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s dead in the county,” said Chapman. However, the chairman did note the election results should be sent to the State Assembly and Senate. During public comment, and during the agenda item, audience members spoke about the topic. Some Jefferson supporters continued to ask to the board for its support during the upcoming litigation the prosecede side is putting together, challenging the Reynolds v. Sims case. Jefferson supporter Barbara Keeling, of Janesville, said if the county pulled the declaration, it would not have a seat at the table when Jefferson is formed. She added, with the 3,000 people who voted in favor of the measure, the county was still involved with the push to separate. “We understand that the vote was no, but now it’s up to you guys whether or not you want to go and be at the table,” said Keeling. “Lassen County voted it down in June, it’s not going to change anything. We cannot dictate, to the other counties, whether or not they can have Lynne Sella Staff Writer [email protected] Lynne Sella Staff Writer [email protected] To subscribe to the Times, call 530-257-5321 See Jefferson, page 11A Where’s Waldo search returns to Susanville Blood drive seeks donors Renee Hopson, Susanville blood drive coordinator, would like to remind residents of Lassen County of the upcoming blood drive. The local drive is scheduled from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 12 and from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 13 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 905 Richmond Road, Susanville. Held every three months, the Susanville Community Blood Drive helps maintain the local blood supply of Northern California and Nevada. Uncertain about donating? Here are some facts provided by the United Blood Services to consider: • One donation can save three lives. • Every two seconds, someone needs blood. • One out of seven hospital patients require blood transfusions. • 38 percent of the population is eligible to donate, but only 5 percent does. Blood donors must be healthy, weigh at least 110 pounds and be at least 17 years old. Donors who are 16 will be allowed with a signed permission form. Recommendations include eating a healthy iron-rich meal before donating and drinking plenty of fluids before and after your donation.

Whether or not they can separate from California.” Chapman said it was fine for Keeling to participate in Jefferson, but said she was not a representative of the county. Joseph Turner, another pro-Jefferson supporter, noted how rescinding the declaration would only strengthen its case. Several people spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting speaking in favor of participating in state of Jefferson. Some said they Waldo is spotted in front of Margie’s Book Nook with David Teeter, owner. Photo submitted Ceremony honors Robert McElrath In celebration of Waldo’s 29th birthday, the annual search for the man in the striped shirt and hat began July 1. Hosted by Margie’s Book Nook, this community event draws attention to the creation of the fictional character. Participants are issued a passport from Margie’s and then begin the quest to find Waldo at 28 locations throughout Susanville. Passports are validated with a stamp or signature for spotting him at each location. A collection of 10 of these earns an “I Found Waldo” sticker and a $1 off coupon for Margie’s. Anyone who has found 20 Waldos, receives a button, a coupon and is entered into a drawing held at the final activity for this event. Local authors of all ages can submit Waldo stories of any length, with or without illustrations, and one lucky winner will be selected to receive a prize. The search will end with a Where’s Waldo party 5 to 7 p.m. July 30 at Margie’s Book Makenzie Davis News Editor [email protected] Dedicated to honoring the memory of a past veteran, law enforcement officer and community member, a local member of the United States Air Force ensured Rob McElrath’s memory would continue on. During a Saturday, June 25 ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Hall, Justin Bermander, of the United States Air Force, presented three flags with significant meaning to the Susanville Police Department and McElrath’s family. “It means a lot for me to do this,” said Bermander, who added his service has helped him appreciate the sacrifice of others that much more. “We’re going to let Rob’s memory live on.” During the ceremony, many people close to McElrath See Waldo, page 11A City fire restrictions Lynne Sella Staff Writer [email protected] Three flags were donated in honor of Rob McElrath’s service to his country and community: one to the Susanville Police Department, one to McElrath’s father and another his mother. Photo by Makenzie Davis spoke about his life and character. His sister, Jennifer McElrath-Head shared some stories about him from people who knew McElrath, and asked them to say one word that described the former Susanville police officer. Some of the spoke words included role model, selfless, steadfast, brother, kind, caring, love, genuine and more. However, McElrath-Head See McElrath, page 11A New priest at Sacred Heart Catholic Church Father Arbel Cabasagan, the newly appointed priest at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Susanville, was born in the Philippines. He earned a bachelor’s degree in electronics and communications engineering in 1987 at Cebu University, Philippines. He also earned a master’s degree in management at San Jose State University. He enrolled in Saint Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park, California where he earned a master’s degree in divinity in 2007. After completing his graduate studies, he enjoyed a successful career, working at Timex Corp. as a senior product development engineer. He worked at Timex for 18 years. Arbel listened and was inspired to become a priest by Saint John Paul II who challenges young Filipino Catholics to become missionaries to the world at the 1995 World Youth Day in Manila, Philippines. He was assigned parochial vicar at St. Joseph Parish in Sacramento in 2008, at Saint John the Baptist Church in Folsom in 2009 and pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes in Colusa in 2010. To be an ordained priest is “an awesome responsibility.” “It is a God-given divine gift to make present the great mystery of redemption and salvation and a great responsibility to be part of the sanctification of the living community. As priests we mirror the mind and heart of Christ, which requires a serious life and prayer,” Arbel said. He was ordained into the priesthood Oct. 26, 2007 at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento, California. As of July 1, all burning permits issued to residents of Susanville have been suspended until Nov. 1. Dan Weaver, Susanville Fire Department battalion chief, also wants to remind residents that, in addition to the ban on burning, weed abatement should have been completed by Monday, June 27. Chapter 8 (8.28.030) of the Susanville Municipal Code states: It is unlawful for the owner, agent, lessee or other person having charge or control of any piece or parcel of land within the city to allow weeds or rubbish to grow or to remain thereon, or upon the street or sidewalk in front of such piece or parcel of land. “We are proud of our community, and the weeds need to be eliminated,” Weaver said. The fire department will be issuing citations to residents who have not complied with this ordinance.

Photo by Makenzie Davis Police help neighborhoods reduce crime Makenzie Davis News Editor [email protected] The Susanville Police Department is looking to help local neighborhoods decrease crime rates. With some very successful local neighborhood watch groups, like the Depot 6, the department is offering to help guide other neighborhoods and the residing citizens should they want to start up a program. On Thursday, June 23, the local police department hosted an event open to residents informing them on how to start up a neighborhood watch program. “Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective community watch tools,” said interim police chief Jim Uptegrove. “Criminals don’t like people watching.” During the meeting, attendees were supplied with a packet, which included information on how to start up a watch program. School resource officer Terra Avilla shared the packet she put together, which included crime prevention and safety tips, resource information and signage resources. She added the community’s knowledge is key in helping the department in the neighborhood. “It’s your neighborhood, you have a vested interest in keeping it safe,” she said. Included in the packet was a letter from Uptegrove to interested parties. “The neighborhood watch program is a crime prevention program that involves all aspects of the community working together Your Health Insurance Enrollment Expert Serving Susanville & Honey Lake Valley Michael C.

So she went door to door, and the group formed. “Lo and behold, we have taken that neighborhood back,” she added. Some tools they use include a private Facebook page for homeowners and established renters only, and they always keep an eye out for anything that’s not how it should be.

According to local Audie Noneo, the Peace and Dignity Journey is a spiritual run that embodies the prophecy of the eagle and the condor. Runners begin on opposite ends of the continents, in Chickaloon, Alaska and Argentina, and run to Panama. It’s a spiritual prayer run meant to unite the indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere. The run is six months long and runners pass through hundreds of indigenous communities. Noneo said through the journeys, participants help each other reconnect to their respective spiritual practices and help them relearn their role in the world. Andres Mendoza of Azusa, California, started the run in Alaska and will be continuing the whole way to Panama. “The run was started in 1992 by around 200 nations,” said Mendoza. Mendoza said it was started by a couple of people in Chicago who had a dream of uniting people through running. “When they approached the elders about the dream, the elders knew they were coming,” said Mendoza. “It was the prophecy of the eagle and the condor.” Mendoza explained that the prophecy mandates that all indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere would be reunited in a spiritual way to heal the nations in PUBLIC NOTICE • JANESVILLE AREA RESIDENTS • order to work toward a better future. Mendoza said that each year the run focuses on a different underlying prayer. This year was the prayer for seeds. Mendoza explained that plants are being genetically altered to be more resistant to pesticides. “We don’t know how this will affect our children and FREE GREEN WASTE DROPOFF at ARTISAN COFFEE & PIZZA FACTORY Parking Lot Corner of Church Street & Highway 395 in Janesville Brush, Tree limbs, Yard trimmings, etc. NO TRASH future generations,” said Mendoza. Mendoza said that seeds are not just physical, and we plant seeds whenever we go out into the world. “We have to be mindful of the seeds we plant in our children,” Mendoza said. “They are the future.” Locals from Lassen County drove to Redding the day before to run with the runners towards Susanville. Once they arrived, they walked together to the Susanville Indian Rancheria where they met in the sports center for prayer and food. Those who were continuing the run stayed at the Diamond Mountain Casino and headed off in the morning toward Reno, Nevada.

Fire Restrictions No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires will be allowed outside of designated areas even with a valid California Campfire Permit. Campfires must be built within agency installed and approved fire pits. However, lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed as long as the forest visitor has a valid California Campfire Permit available from (preventwildfireca.org/Camp fire-Permit/) or from Forest Service offices during normal business hours — 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, building or designated recreation site.

Photo submitted HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Get the LATEST on lassennews.com The average household contains 3-10 gals of hazardous materials of which 20% usually will go down the drain. For our community that means between 2,300 and 7,700 gals of hazardous materials will be disposed through the sewer. These hazardous materials would include: fuels, antifreeze, oil, oven cleaners, solvents, herbicides, pesticides, paint and paint thinners, drain openers, finger nail polish removers. The disposal of these items into the sewer causes pipe corrosion, explosions, inhibits wastewater treatment and can cause injury to our workers. The proper disposal of household hazardous materials is important to you, your wastewater utility and the environment. Thank you SSD Board of Directors SUSANVILLE SANITARY DISTRICT 45 S.

Crossword Puzzle Answers to this week’s puzzle can be found on page 11A Put Weather Here Answers to this week’s puzzle can be found on page 11A Lassen County Times Tuesday, July 5, 2016 9A Pups on Parole celebrates another great year Lynne Sella Staff Writer [email protected] For the ninth consecutive year, the Lassen Humane Society has partnered with the California Correctional Center to continue Pups on Parole. Founded by Mary Morphis from the Humane Society, with the help of Bill Merkle, retired warden, this program has found forever homes for more than 430 dogs. This program pairs a dog from the animal shelter with one or two inmates assigned to the CCC Firehouse to work on socializing, training and companionship. According to Vicky Reisel, local Humane Society board member, only certain dogs are selected for this program. “Dogs that are not likely to go to a rescue, are goodnatured or may be euthanized are good candidates for our program,” Reinsel said. “It’s important for people to know that we can’t just take any dog. It has to come from the shelter.” Dogs that are selected receive an immediate rabies shot and are spayed or neutered within a week. When adopted, the dog is microchipped, checked for heartworm and given kennel cough and five-way vaccinations. The dogs are trained to sit, stay, heel, not to jump on people and to play well with others. Inmate handlers learn how to train these dogs from other experienced handlers as well as by reading books and watching videos. The handlers agreed that the primary mission of this program is to socialize the dogs and make them acceptable for adoption. While the most difficult part is letting the dogs go, (it’s like losing a friend), it is also the most rewarding. “It’s a great program,” Garth Renaud said. This celebration marks the end of Renaud’s participation as the program coordinator as he is retiring. For more information about this program or to find out how you can help, please contact the Lassen Humane Society at 257-4555.

Photo by Andrew McLarty Local student receives Rotary District 5190 Scholarship Lynne Sella Staff Writer [email protected] Megan McLarty was one of nine recipients of the 2016 Rotary District 5190 Scholarship. After traveling to Reno, Nevada for an interview, she was notified June 13 that she had been awarded a scholarship. A 2013 high school graduate of Mt. Lassen Charter School, McLarty has attended Lassen Community College for the past four and a half years, officially enrolling in the fall of 2011. During that time she earned associate degrees in natural science, allied health and social science at the age of 16 and in mathematics and physical science, biology and biological sciences the following year. Transferring to the University of Nevada, Reno this fall, McLarty will continue her studies toward bachelor of science degrees in applied mathematics as well as biochemistry and molecular biology. Her future plans include attending medical school, where she plans to specialize in cardiology. In addition to earning her degrees, McLarty plans to continue her study of dance. She describes herself as growing up in the art, having enrolled in ballet classes at Joan’s Studio of Dance at the age of 9. “The floor is the canvas, and I am the paintbrush,” McLarty confided about her dancing. “And it helps me relax after studying.” McLarty has performed in annual recitals as well as performances with the Susanville Symphony and Susanville Choral Society. She has also performed in the Reno Dance Company’s “The Nutcracker” for three consecutive years. D AVID J.

Additionally, Darryl Bermender, McElrath’s field training officer, also remembered the time he spent with him. He said when McElrath was just joining the department he already had a very strong work ethic and knowledge of the community and its people. Darryl Bermender also commented on McElrath’s dedication to serving the community and his team. “He touched the lives of so many people,” he said. “Rob’s memory will continue to live in this community.” Moreover, Susanville Police Department Chaplain, Pastor Bruce Ingle, spoke during the ceremony. “Rob was a man of great love, great commitment and great faith,” said Engle. “Rob set a great example of compassion and care for others to emulate.” The flags, which were given to McElrath’s parents, and the SPD, were flown in B1-B bomber planes over Syria and Iraq during times of conflict.

Makenzie Davis News Editor [email protected] With the potential for upcoming state measures for marijuana use, the board of supervisors opted to form an ad hoc committee to delve into the topic. During the Tuesday, June 28 Lassen County Board of Supervisors meeting, Aaron Albaugh and Jeff Hemphill were selected to form an ad hoc committee to study and make recommendations to the board on how to comply with Assembly Bill 243, Senate Bill 643 and Assembly Bill 266 on marijuana cultivation. “We, I believe, have to have made some choices prior to the date (when the bills will be essentially enacted) … about what we foresee Lassen County’s long-term role in marijuana cultivation, medical or otherwise,” said county counsel Bob Burns. In a letter to the board, Burns wrote, “Because these bills leave some degree of local control in tact, individual counties are beginning to have to make some choices about what level of marijuana activity they are prepared to accept. These are policy statements which vary from community to community, many times from person to person. Implementation at the state level of most of the significant provisions of these three bills won’t occur until January 1, 2018. However, any local control sought to be retained, must be in place before then. I recommend we begin now.” Medical marijuana grower Dennis Hines attended the meeting, and shared his belief that the committee should be comprised of more than just supervisors and should include a variety of people, including those who use marijuana for medical purposes. “I think Hines makes a valid point,” said board chairman Jim Chapman. Burns added he hoped any committee would be sure to take a balanced approach to looking at the issue. Moreover, Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced in a statement that the initiative for marijuana legalization received the 365,880 valid petition signatures needed to become eligible for placement on the November ballot.

Simple advice for a healthier lifestyle As pointed out in the past, despite everything we know and has been said about the health benefits of exercise, a recent study shows us that 43 percent of employed adults do not exercise nearly as often as they should. At the same time, a new joint study from researchers from the University of Sao Paulo and Tufts University in Boston reminds us that over half of what Americans eat (nearly 60 percent) is considered “junk food.” These behaviors continue to persist in this country despite constant warnings that being sedentary and eating this way is sure to increase one’s risk for chronic health conditions like diabetes, obesity, heart attack, stroke and cancer. So what’s standing between those with the desire to be healthier and the action needed to achieve better health? Could it be, at least in part, information overload and the human ability to tune things out? Maybe we should back up a bit and try to simplify the matter. As Simin Nikbin Meydani, director of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, tells Time magazine, eating healthier does not have to be complicated and done by the numbers. You don’t have to go vegan or Paleo. You can start by simply making sure that your plate contains foods of more than two different colors. If it’s got green, red and brown, for example, you could be on your way to getting the nutrients you require. We should also make sure you consume it and enjoy it with someone else. “Sharing a meal with friends and family impacts our health and how we age and fare as we get older,” Meydani reminds us. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that American adults do two-and-a-half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, plus some muscle strengthening on the side. If that seems too much, or you're loathe to calculate such things, don't despair. You can benefit from even a small amount of added movement each week and uncomplicated exercises like walking. Some will always be better than none; to start, do that to which you're comfortable committing. A small behavioral change can also lead to embracing a wider checklist of healthier choices. Many experts believe that each lifestyle change a person makes supports other positive steps that can be added. Not surprisingly, a recent study tells us that people who changed the widest variety of aspects of their life to be healthier see bigger improvements in their mood and stress levels compared to people in clinical trials who changed just one part of their lifestyle. What’s also clear is that in order to achieve the maximum benefit that the food we eat can provide we need to think about what we actually eat before we eat it; to start by considering eating whole foods and trying to avoid processed ones. According to Dr. Qi Sun, of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and the senior author of a recent study of the effects of whole grain foods in diet, eating a diet rich in whole grains would reduce a person's risk of dying early. The study found that eating three servings of whole grains a day was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of death from heart disease, and a 14 percent lower risk of death from cancer, compared with eating one serving or less of whole grains daily. In fairness, it’s not like people are not concerned about what they eat. According to government research, about 77 percent of U.S. adults look at labels when they shop. But if we've learned anything, it's that food labeling is not always our friend. Americans spend more than $40 billion a year on foods identified as “all natural.” Surveys show that consumers seek out the “all natural” label believing the food was produced without genetically modified organisms, hormones, pesticides and artificial ingredients. Not so. This reality has led to more than a hundred class action lawsuits accusing companies of misleading consumers. The issue of whether genetically modified foods can be labeled natural has been raised in more than 50 legal cases. Until now, the Food and Drug Administration has “respectfully declined” to weigh in on the issue. While the FDA is at last considering the matter, it has yet to engage in rulemaking to establish a formal definition for the term “natural” in food packaging. By law, products must be checked out by the Food and Drug Administration before they can be added to our food. But since 1958, there has been a growing list of exemptions to this law. Today, it’s hard to know definitively whether some of the estimated 10,000 chemical additives spread throughout our grocery store food supply pose a health problem to us. We consume them in very small amounts day-to-day and that, we’re told, poses no health risks. At present, neither the government nor food manufacturers have taken on the time or expense of measuring possible long-term effects of these additives. It is a problem not dissimilar to the one we have with the pesticides that are sprayed on the fruits and vegetables we eat. We’ve now recently learned what many experts have long suspected — heavy use of the world’s most popular herbicide, Roundup, could be linked to a range of health problems and diseases, including Parkinson’s, infertility and cancers, according to a recent study. Roundup is by far the most heavily used herbicide in the country, and the Food and Drug Administration has no idea how much of it ends up on the food we eat. The FDA has never bothered to test for chemical residues on foods headed to market. The EPA is now conducting a standard registration review of ‘glyphosate,’ Roundup's active ingredient. In the meantime, I urge you to exercise at least a bit more and to eat at least a little bit healthier. Most importantly, to travel that extra mile (if need be) and pay that extra expense (if you can) to buy certified organic foods.

During the Tuesday, June 28 authority meeting, the board recognized Paul Payne, former Landfill manager, for his time served. He was presented with a framed resolution from the board commending him for his service to the authority. Payne is retiring the position. According to the resolution, Payne started working for the Authority June 8, 2008, with his retirement on June 30. “Paul has a long and distinguished 35 year career in solid waste management, commencing November 1981 as operations manager for Norcal Waste Systems in Oroville, California and as manager of Lassen Waste Systems in Susanville from November 1998 through May 2008 and … throughout Paul’s employment as the landfill manager, he earned the respect of his supervisor, staff, customers and the Lassen Regional Solid Waste Management Authority Board of Directors.” Moreover, the resolution read Paul would be remembered by his fellow staff at the authority “for his knowledge, dependability, resourcefulness, honesty and outgoing personality as the landfill manager.” The board unanimously approved the resolution and Authority member Jim Chapman read it aloud. Additionally, during the meeting, the board had to appoint a new member to fill the role of president, which was left vacant by Lino Callegari, who was not reelected to the Susanville City Council. Chapman was nominated and appointed to fill the presidents role, and authority member Kathie Garnier was appointed to vice president, filling Chapman’s old position. Callegari’s replacement on the authority will be arriving on the board shortly.

In a study conducted by the California Office of Traffic Safety in April 2016, at least 12.8 percent of California drivers were observed using a mobile device during the day, up from 9.2 percent in 2015 and eclipsing the previous high of 10.8 percent in 2013. Due to the difficulty of observing mobile device use in a vehicle, these figures are considered minimums, with actual usage likely several points higher. "These latest numbers are discouraging, but not totally unexpected," said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. "The number of smartphones in the United States has gone from zero 10 years ago to more than 200 million today. They have become so much a part of our lives that we can't put them down, even when we know the danger." California and many other states observed National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April. The California Highway Patrol and hundreds of other law enforcement agencies conducted educational and enforcement efforts. The CHP alone organized more than 300 educational presentations and issued 13,496 citations for distracted driving violations. The OTS conducted a social media campaign urging drivers to “Silence the Distraction.” “Distraction occurs any time drivers take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel and their minds off their primary task of driving safely," CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said. "Any nondriving activity is a potential distraction and increases the risk of a collision." Data from the CHP's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System shows that in 2013, 22,306 people were involved in collisions in which distracted driving was a factor. The number of distracted driving victims in California increased slightly in 2014 to 22,652. From 2013 to 2015, the number of drivers killed or injured in collisions in which distracted driving was a factor increased every year — from 10,162 in 2013, to 10,548 in 2014 and to 11,090 in 2015. Despite these numbers, drivers seem less concerned about the dangers of distracted driving. The OTS study found that the observed usage rates appear to confirm previous studies that show more drivers admit to using mobile devices sometimes or regularly. Fewer drivers believe that talking or texting on a cell phone is a major safety problem. Meanwhile, the percentage of those who say they have been hit or nearly hit by a driver using a cell phone remains steady at nearly 60 percent. Other significant findings in the observational survey include: •Though nearly all types of usage were up, typing and posting increased by more than one third. •The highest observed electronic device use and the fastest increase in usage is in urban areas, at 9.4 percent. •Electronic device use during rush hours increased by 71 percent in 2016. •The percentage of 16 to 24 year olds talking on handheld cell phones increased from less than 1 percent every year since 2012 to more than 2 percent in 2016. •Southern California drivers hold the phone to their ear at a rate double (3.8 percent) or more that of Central California drivers (1.9 percent) and Northern California drivers (1.4 percent). “The study results are disturbing,” Farrow said. “Every time someone drives distracted, they are putting themselves, their passengers and everyone on or near the roadway at risk.” Tuesday, July 5, 2016 5B Garden contest winner Plumas Bank sponsored the Lassen County Home & Garden Show and had a coloring contest for the kids.

Measure G, created by a declaration by the Lassen County Board of Supervisors March 17, 2015, essentially asked the voters to decide if Lassen County should join the state of Jefferson movement through a simple up or down advisory vote. The California Elections Code defines an advisory vote as “ … an indication of general voter opinion regarding the ballot proposal. The results of the advisory vote will in no manner be controlling on the sponsoring legislative body.” In the end, Measure G was defeated. It gained 3,094 yes votes (43.84 percent) against 3,964 no votes (56.16 percent), according to the Lassen County Clerk’s website. Despite that clear vote of the people, you’d be completely wrong to think the Lassen County Board of Supervisors has DITORIAL resolved the state of Jefferson question. Both the proponents and the opponents attended the board’s Tuesday, June 28 meeting and the discussion continues regarding a portion of the board’s resolution that reads, “Whereas, alternatively, if an effort in forming a new state is defeated, the Board of Supervisors of Lassen County would consider joining a credible legal challenge to the Reynold’s case … ” Given their inability to sway people across the Northern California to join their movement, the state of Jefferson proponents are now pursuing an allegedly “unstoppable” legal challenge to the Reynolds v. Sims, a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision that apportioned state legislatures — including the California Senate — under the one-man, one-vote rule rather than one that follows the federal model that elects legislators based upon geographic boundaries. In his majority opinion, Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote, “Legislators represent people, not trees or acres. Legislators are elected by voters, not farms or cities or economic interests.” The state of Jefferson proponents argue such a system hurts rural counties because their small population numbers allow the large urban areas to control state decisions. Ironically, one of the disparities cited for the Reynolds v. Sims decision was a lack of representation in, of all places, Los Angeles County. More than six million people lived in Los Angeles County in 1964, while one rural California county had a population of only 14,000 people. Both counties had one representative in the state senate. At last week’s board meeting, proponents said they would attend a state of Jefferson Formation Conference held in Live Oak next month. This small, unelected group of state of Jefferson proponents should recognize the people of Lassen County voted against Jefferson. And they also should abandon their repeated false assertion the county has approved a declaration to join the new state. Perhaps it is too bitter a pill for the state of Jefferson supporters to swallow, but just last month the voters rejected their vision of the future. The people said no. Elections have consequences, and the people of Lassen County have expressed their opinion and their will regarding the state of Jefferson question. It’s time to put this Jefferson thing behind us and move forward with the real business of the day.

I was whisked off to a four-year university in Oregon where I earned my degree in mathematics. A small-town girl living on the edge of Portland resulted in a whole new definition of growth. But it could not have happened without a foundation in Lassen County. Now I’m back. Nothing is more addicting than a wholesome hometown. Throughout my childhood, Susanville cheered me on during science fairs and field hockey games. I spent hours in the library, sold countless boxes of Girl Scout cookies and watched Blockbuster come and go. I’ve taught a tolerance workshop to third graders and floated down the Susan River. I may have said my goodbyes once or twice, but Susanville has always welcomed me back with open arms. That’s what family does. My plan is to change the world through IT’S MY TURN ASHLEY GROGAN Sports Writer [email protected] architecture, but first I want to get back to my roots. Susanville has raised me well, and now it’s my turn to be an active part in the community’s growth. It is my time to delve into the world from behind the lens rather than in front. As the new sports writer for the Lassen County Times, I’ll be there to see who wins the championships and who learns from mistakes. Athletes are born everyday, and I’m here to capture the Lassen sports fanatics in their natural habitat. Am I out of my comfort zone? Sure. But this is just another way that Susanville is helping me branch out. I’m here to learn about athletic expression just as much as I report on it. I want to see the passion behind each serve, and I want to understand the impact behind every tackle. Whether you dribble, tumble, toss the pigskin, catch or run, Lassen County would like to hear about it, and I’d love to report it. Give me a call at 257-5321 or send me an email to [email protected]. so I can see you compete. I’m prouder than ever to be American In the controversial world we live in today, I am prouder than ever to call myself an American. Being an American isn’t just living in the United States; it’s a name for those who show patriotism, love for these states, and would gladly lay down their lives for this beautiful country we cherish. To be an American, you don’t even have to be from the USA. That’s what makes this country so special to me. We accept all people willing to do what it takes to earn the right to become an American. I am honored to have been able to wear the starred and striped flag with those three powerful letters sewn onto my chest so many times. Competing for Team USA for seven years was an honor each and every time I put on the red, white and blue. Stepping onto the competition floor at national competitions, international competitions, training, and in the street, I felt I had to have the absolute highest respect for my team, my competitors, my family and IT’S MY TURN JAKE JACOBSON Sports Writer [email protected] myself because I knew I was an American. There is no greater feeling than standing at the top of the podium in first place in a foreign country listening to the “Star Spangled Banner” play loudly. No greater feeling than standing with my right hand LETTERS Annual car show Congratulations to Patti Hagata and the Chamber of Commerce on the best Susanville car show in more than 12 years. And, thanks to the city for the use of Memorial Park. The park was a perfect setting. It was an enjoyable afternoon for folks strolling around the park or sitting in the shade. The music was great, the food delicious and the beverages were refreshing. The cool air under the trees and the grass lawn were much better than the sweltering sun and hot pavement on Main Street. Smart move. Next year will be even better when word gets out on the great location and fun afternoon. John Larrivee Susanville Liberal foolishness So reading the letters, and once again, liberal foolishness to the rescue. Not. So it’s some liberal organization in this case; the meat and dairy hating PETA people. You know, the people who kill animals because people shouldn’t have pets, saying that there should be a tax on meat and dairy. Obviously, the woman who wrote her little letter has no idea of the audience she is speaking to. Lassen County is a very pro-cattle, pro-meat eating and pro-dairy county. And we are sure we do not want another pointless tax. Suggesting it should be a sin tax is about the dumbest thing I have heard yet out of the mouth of liberals so far. But good luck trying to make it happen here in Lassen County. It may work in liberal strongholds like San Francisco, but there is no way it will ever even be thought of in this county. Maybe instead of telling us what to eat and citing pointless reports from the joke that is the U.N., the fools at PETA put their money where their mouth is. If they really care about animals, they would push for laws putting an end to animal shelters that kill animals when their shelters are over full capacity. Or maybe pushing for harsher laws and punishments for known puppy farm operators and dog fighting rings. Keep your business to yourselves about what people put on their tables for dinner. I for one will keep enjoying beef, eggs, pork, chicken and milk. A to the healthy diet, not a starvation diet of vegetarianism or veganism. Thank you. Erik L. Staehle Susanville Tax vegetables The letter in last week’s paper about a tax on meat was so arrogant, self-serving, and basically wrong that it demanded a reply. The logic just does not follow. Seventy percent of water usage worldwide is on agriculture and agricultural concerns are a major cause of water pollution. Perhaps we should tax vegetables by the pound to counteract this. Taxes like the one in Philadelphia are less about revenue than to discourage the use of these products. Like cigarette, alcohol and other sin taxes, the goal is to raise revenue while punishing activities deemed important to discourage. As human beings have always been omnivores, and as history has proven, the availability of meat and dairy (through the ages) has increased the life span of humans by improved nutrition, it is a narrow view that meat and dairy warrant a sin tax. The incentive to eat vegan foods is not financial or epicurean; it is an ideology bordering on a religion. I personally find all forms of proselytizing offensive, as I did this letter. If the goal is to raise revenue while discouraging activities detrimental to society, perhaps a over my heart gazing up at my country’s flag rise above all others while singing along proudly. However, this wouldn’t be possible for myself and the other members of Team USA, the coaches, and everyone residing in the states without our military going out every day and night and laying it all down on the line. I am forever grateful to the men and women who have served and currently serve our great nation and defend our freedom from those who want to take it away because they are the backbone of this country and make everything that we do every day happen. So this Fourth of July, think about our troops who make sacrifices for us every day. Realize how many Americans give the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It’s not about the barbecues or the fireworks. It’s about celebrating the freedoms we have and will continue to have for years to come. God Bless America. E D I TO R $1 tax on all public storage facilities would make more sense as, we as a people, all have way too much stuff. It is easy to advocate a tax on something that will not impact you; it is a different story when your ox is being gored. PETA is like any other single-issue group. They may have been, at one time, a group of reasonable people who shared a belief, but when you begin to advocate ways of imposing your beliefs on others, you cross a line. Liberty is not quantifiable by whether or not it is good for you. It is your choice to enjoy your steak and eggs without the interference of government or anyone else (IMHO). David Goodman Susanville Bug problems I live at 6,000 feet elevation in the forest, and I use a bug light to kill the beetles and moths. Two years ago it was beetles and moths, now it is only moths, but a lot. To make bug lights work properly, all the plastic screen has to be cut away so the light shines and the bugs can get to the screen that will kill them. I am off the grid, so I use a battery powered bug light and it seems to only stun them, so I get up around 5:30 a.m. and kill them myself before they fly off. I am getting hundreds every night and am going to get another light this very day.

George Cramer Susanville Right to bear arms I don’t know why I am the only one who brings this up, but the right to bear arms is the balance of power between the states and the federal government. See Article I, section 10, paragraph three of the Constitution. “No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep the troops or ships of war in time of peace.” People wonder why the word regulated is used in the Second Amendment. The word regulation was used in old military catalogs. On the newsreels, I have seen both President Truman and President Eisenhower warn us of a conspiracy to disarm the population, which would probably start with a presidential assassination. Then the perpetrators would dish out the wealth and rally the under privileged behind them. Truman even accused them of trying to assassinate him. I am not the only one who saw those newsreels, so again, I don’t know why I am the only one to bring this up. As they explained it, there are two ways to throw the country into a dictatorship. One is government control of the defense industries and the other is disarmament of the population. Civil rights laws, labor laws and environmental laws are steps toward government control of the defense industries violate the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, while gun laws violate the Second Amendment. Now, you wonder about the shootings. Suppose you are a conspirator and you happen to be a psychiatrist with a patient who is both homicidal and suicidal. I am sure you could program this patient to commit a mass shooting and then suicide. James Caldwell Doyle, California Lassen County Times, Westwood PinePress Tuesday, July 5, 2016 9B COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES About the Jefferson movement and the Brits WHERE I STAND MS. TERRY GHERARDI EL DORADO COUJTY It didn’t take long for many of us to recognize the parallels between the Brit’s win for independence from the European Union and the efforts to separate from California by citizens of 21 Northern California rural counties. Brits, like Jefferson supporters, feel they have been over regulated, lost their economic freedom and independence. It is also widely reported that the Brits want to re-establish their sovereign borders as opposed to the immigration and open border policies dictated by Brussels and other countries in the EU. All the aforementioned explain why the effort for equal representation and to form the 51st state continues to gain momentum and recognition across the globe. In fact, the day after the vote, a British citizen sent a message to the Jefferson Blog, stating: “If we in Britain can win our independence, then so can the people of Jefferson.” Signed, a Proud Brit. I would like to reiterate, that the Jefferson movement is not looking to secede from the United States. The California State Legislature has refused to respond to the requests by rural county citizens, to restore the equal representation that existed prior to 1964. Why? Because those who represent Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area are fearful of losing their power and dominance in Sacramento. Too often this lack of representation leaves rural citizens and their needs at the short end of the stick. The Brits made it clear they were tired of the bureaucracy and over regulation by Brussels and the greater EU. The complaints are the same for those in Jefferson counties that have been hardest hit by the burgeoning of big government in Sacramento, with its 570 state agencies and departments that continue to grow, mainly due to the 800 or 900 new laws passed by the state legislature in the last two years, layering more taxes and restrictions on already struggling taxpayers and small business owners. A recent George Mason University report observes California “taxes and regulates its economy more than most other states” and ranks last in Regulatory Freedom and 49th in Occupational Licensing regulations. California also ranks last in Chief Executive Magazine’s ranking in Best States/Worst States. As with the Brits, Jefferson supporters are told by the media and others, that those in power in the California state government will never let you go. But just like the Brits, Jeffersonians continue to persevere. In Britain’s case, the pollsters, media and political pundits got it wrong. Jeffersonians believe the R E M E M B E R WH E N 140 years ago Leo Button, an old Honey Laker who has now taken up his abode at Silver Lake in Oregon, made a visit this week, and brought back with him a wagonload of furs and buckskins. The furs he shipped to New York and the buckskins he sold to Sears, the Susanville glove maker. He had also among his wares the pelt of an enormous grizzly, which he captured himself. At sight of the pelt, we felt like climbing a tree. Lee is a very successful hunter and trapper. 90 years ago For the past week, Susanville has been hemmed in by a forest fire, requiring the efforts of 1,000 men to save a portion of the town from burning. The fire was kept away from all buildings and no property damage resulted inside the town. The burned area is estimated to be 15 to 20 square miles and the Red River Lumber Company has lost some good timber in the district southwest of Susanville. The entire county is covered with an unusually large growth of grass and weeds, which is now as dry as powder. With a stiff wind behind them, the flames ran through the grass as fast as a man could walk. 70 years ago No grocery stores will be open Sunday beginning next Sunday, July 7, according to an agreement reached this week by stores previously open on Sunday. Asking the understanding and cooperation of the public, the grocers explained they, too, want a day of rest like other people. They asked people not to forget to do their weekend shopping on Saturday from now on, with no grocery stores open on Sunday. 20 years ago The recent discovery of a body north of Susanville has turned into a homicide investigation after officials determined the cause of death. On Saturday, June 22, sportsmen discovered a man’s body at the bottom of a canyon on Schaffer Mountain. The cause of death has been determined as a blunt force trauma to the head. Efforts are being made to discover the man’s identity, including searching missing persons records and examining fingerprint records. 15 years ago Severe drought conditions in Lassen County prompted the Board of Supervisors last week to unanimously request Governor Gray Davis to declare a state of emergency. 10 years ago “Not enough water is falling from the sky,” said supervisor Bob Pyle at a Bureau of Land Management organized meeting on Tuesday evening, June 28. Pyle’s statement came in response to the question, “Why do you think there may be a lack of water?” The public meeting, at the fairgrounds’ Jensen Hall, was held to collect comments about proposed water pipeline projects based on ...is Now Open!

Last year “Last year the Intermountain Area experienced the Eiler Fire, the Bald Fire and the Day Fire: three fires that burned over 85,000 acres,” said Dave Junette, unit chief for the Lassen-Modoc-Plumas Unit of Cal Fire. “All three of these fires required evacuation, and many homeowners experienced firsthand how difficult it can be when you are not prepared.” “With record-setting drought conditions we must take every step possible to prevent new wildfires from starting,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. “One less spark means one less wildfire.” doomsayers have it wrong, underestimating the dedication, motivation and stamina exhibited by these rural citizens. All that is occurring and being voiced in Britain and much of the United States, mirrors that of what Jeffersonians have vocalized the last three years. And, isn’t it ironic that July 4th marks 240 years since American citizens won their independence from the tyranny of British rule? Now it is predicted that June 23, 2016 will go down in history as the date that Britain won its independence from the EU. One cannot predict how this will all play out, but I feel the people of Britain and those seeking the 51st state are sending a clear message: We will persevere in our quest for equal representation, economic freedom and smaller government, therefore empowering the people to put an end to the over regulation and bureaucracy that exists in the state and federal government and the European Union. Perhaps 19th Century author, John Basil Barnhill said it best: “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Boxer statement on Supreme Court ruling in whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt WHERE I STAND BARBARA BOXER U.S. SENATOR U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (DemocratCalifornia) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision in the Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt case: “I am greatly relieved that the Supreme Court found that the Texas restrictions made the right to reproductive freedom a hollow right. The justices were wise to find that this egregious law created such an ‘undue burden’ that it made the right to choose essentially nonexistent in the state of Texas. “This is a great day for Americans who believe in individual rights and women’s health care — but we must note: in state after state, Republicans are trying to take away reproductive freedoms, and we must remain vigilant.” 10B Tuesday, July 5, 2016 Lassen County Times, Westwood PinePress PERSPECTIVES The nonviolent history of American independence WHERE I STAND RIVERA SUN AUTHOR/ACTIVIST Independence Day is commemorated with fireworks and flag-waving, gun salutes and military parades . . . however, one of our nation’s founding fathers, John Adams, wrote, “A history of military operations ... is not a history of the American Revolution.” Often minimized in our history books, the tactics of nonviolent action played a powerful role in achieving American independence from British rule. Benjamin Naimark-Rowse wrote, “The lesson we learn of a democracy forged in the crucible of revolutionary war tends to ignore how a decade of nonviolent resistance before the shot- heard-round-the-world shaped the founding of the United States, strengthened our sense of political identity, and laid the foundation of our democracy.” One hundred and fifty years before Gandhi, the American colonists employed many of the same nonviolent actions the Indian Self-Rule Movement would later use to free themselves from the same empire — Great Britain. The boycotting of British goods (tea, cloth and other imported items) significantly undermined British profits from the colonies. Noncooperation with unjust laws eroded British authority as the colonists refused to comply with laws that restricted assembly and speech, allowed the quartering of soldiers in colonists’ homes, and imposed curfews. Nonpayment of taxes would prove to be a landmark issue for the independence movement. The development of parallel governments and legal structures strengthened the self-rule and self-reliance of the colonists and grew local political control that would ultimately prove strong enough to replace British governance of the colonies. Acts of protest and persuasion, petitions, pamphlets, rallies, marches, denouncements, legal and illegal publications of articles and disruption of British meetings and legal proceedings were also employed. Some of the most powerful boycotts in nonviolent history occurred in the New England colonies against the British Crown. Though the term boycott would not emerge for another hundred years until the Irish coined it during tenant and land struggles, what the colonists called “nonimportation programs” dropped British revenue in New England by 88 percent between 1774 and 1775. In the Carolinas, colonists deprived the Crown of 98.7 percent of import revenue. Moreover, in Virginia and Maryland, the rate reached an impressive 99.6 percent participation. Resistance to the Stamp Act of 1764 through 1775 dropped revenues 95 percent below what was expected. The British could not even pay for the cost of enforcing the Stamp Act throughout the colonies, and it was repealed in 1766. Newspapers published without paying the Stamp Tax used noms de plume to avoid reprisal. Courts closed because lawyers and judges refused to pay the Stamp Act Supreme Court endorses corruption WHERE I STAND LARRY KLAYMAN FREEDOM WATCH Recently, the Supreme Court issued an unprecedented 8-0 decision overturning a conviction in a criminal case against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for accepting gratuities to himself and his wife in exchange for favors. The case styled McDonnell v. United States creates high court precedent that unless a politician or other government official would not have taken an act but for the gratuity – otherwise known as a bribe – then there is no crime. Larry Klayman, a former U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch reacted angrily to the unanimous decision. “The justices of the Supreme Court, who ironically genuinely believe that as legal elite they are above the law, have just issued a decision which cements corruption in the nation’s and state’s capitals, as well as on the bench. Not coincidentally, Supreme Court justices receive perks from private interests, such as expense paid junkets from special interests to speak and participate in seminars that take place in vacation spots around the nation and the world. These special interests, by providing these gratuities, obviously hope to influence decision-making at the high court. The justices have always found they are immune from charges of accepting illegal gratuities. In fact, Chief Justice Roberts, in an annual report of the high court a few years ago, has even written that justices are not required to abide by the Judicial Code of Conduct, as it does not apply to them and may be unconstitutional. “Now the Supreme Court has gone a step even further. With its unanimous decision today it has not only protected the likes of Republican establishment former Governor Bob McDonnell but also effectively cleared the way as cover for Democrat establishment presidential candidate Hillary Clinton not to be indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice for bribery in soliciting and accepting hundreds of millions of dollars in socalled contributions to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for favors when she was Secretary of State. It is almost impossible to prove that a politician or government official would not have otherwise taken an action but for the gratuity he or she took and the justices obviously know this, as they are not unintelligent men and women. “The Supreme Court’s 8-0 vote thus scratches the backs of both parties, protects itself and is a total disgrace. It is why the nation is in a revolutionary mode a la Great Britain and its recent vote on Brexit and why we must remember what our second American president and great Founding Father, John Adams, proclaimed at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence that it would not matter how many times we changed our rulers or forms of government; without ethics morality and religion we would not have a lasting liberty. Indeed, the nation is collapsing as we speak in a cesspool of continued and increasing legal and government corruption. “The Supreme Court trashed the vision of our Founding Fathers and issued a great setback to liberty.” For more information, email [email protected] or call (424) 274 2579.

Published LCT July 5, 2016| for the printing of court documents. Shipping permits were supposed to be stamped, and, since merchants and shippers refused to pay the tax, ports closed and even official documents were not delivered. Merchants of New York, Boston and Philadelphia pledged a nonimportation pact until the Stamp Act was repealed. Six months later (at a time when crossing the Atlantic by sail took at least six weeks, and sometimes as long as three months), the Crown repealed the Stamp Act under pressure from its own panicked merchants. In a campaign that is strikingly familiar to Gandhi’s spinning campaign, the American boycott of imported British cloth held spin-ins, whereby young women gathered in large groups to spin homespun yarn for weaving cloth. Colonists even stopped wearing the traditional funeral black (which mirrored English style) in protest of Great Britain. Women played significant roles in all the nonimportation programs, especially the resistance to the notorious Tea Act. While everyone remembers the Boston Tea Party’s dumping of tea into the Boston Harbor, few Americans have heard about Susan Boudinot. She was the 9-year-old daughter of a New Jersey patriot, who, when handed a cup of tea while visiting the governor, curtsied, raised the cup to her lips, and then tossed the tea out the window. These are just some of the many nonviolent actions engaged in by Americans in their struggle for independence. Some scholars even go so far as to call the Revolutionary War, the War of Reclamation, for the revolution had already been won in the hearts, minds, homes and practices of the people by the time the British Crown sought to reclaim the independent and self-governing colonies. This Independence Day, tell the stories of the role nonviolent action played in establishing the United States. Perhaps by next year, we will be participating in re-enactments of spin-ins, holding mock funerals for Lady Liberty and engaging in boycotts of imported goods to commemorate how American independence was actually won. State treasurer comments on Brexit WHERE I STAND JOHN CHIANG CALIFORNIA STATE TREASURER Britain’s exit from the European Union shouldn’t adversely affect the state of California’s investments. State treasurer John Chiang recently stressed that uncertainty roiling world markets in the wake of Britain’s planned departure from the European Union is not expected to substantially impact investments managed by his office or the state’s outstanding debt. About two-thirds of the $75 billion Pooled Money Investment Account is invested in low-risk and liquid U.S. government securities. The balance is in prime-rated capital market investments. The account includes $22.5 billion in local government agency funds. In addition, the state’s outstanding, general obligation debt portfolio is conservative, with 95 percent in fixed-rate bonds and just 5 percent in variable-rate bonds. Today’s events will have no impact on the state’s fixed-rate bonds. There have been only minimal changes to interest rates on variable-rate bonds. “Market volatility could be sharp until many questions surrounding Brexit can be resolved over the coming two years,” said Chiang. “Californians can be assured, however, that my office is monitoring developments closely and will take appropriate actions to safeguard the state’s financial integrity. “Our $75 billion investment portfolio and another $75 billion in outstanding general obligation debt are in strong positions to weather the uncertainty as Great Britain and the European Union embark on a complex and unprecedented separation,” Chiang said.

My guess is you envision the typical creature with a humped back, long shaggy cape and mane, thin legs and a back that slopes down to a narrow rump. On its head you likely see relatively short horns that curve out from the animal’s head then turn upward. When an American thinks of a buffalo, what he or she usually sees is in reality a bison. There is a big difference between buffalo and bison. The difference is the distance between the Great Plains of North America and Asia or Africa. Bison are native to a small area of Europe (this population is endangered and protected) and most of the Great Plains of North America. Buffalo (really water buffalo) are native to Asia and Africa; half a world away. How’s that relevant to pet food? Simple. There is a WHERE’S WALDO IS BACK David and Margie Teeter at Margie’s Book Nook have kicked off the 29th annual Where’s Waldo promotion. This year there are 28 merchants participating throughout the community. Waldo is hiding in all of these businesses and when you spot him, collect a passport and a store stamp or signature. When you’ve collected at least 10 different store stamps, bring them to Margie’s Book Nook, the Find Waldo Headquarters, to claim an “I found Waldo” sticker and a special coupon. This is limited to the first 100 spotters. See this week’s ad for more contest details. TREATS NATURAL PET MARKETPLACE huge shortage of bison for pet foods now because many people have turned to bison as an alternative to beef. Now imagine that you’re a pet food manufacturer that built the No. 1 grain-free pet food in the USA on a diet said to be made from roasted bison and roasted venison, but you can’t find a source for bison? What to do? There’s only one thing to do. You keep the front of the bag the same, but start importing water buffalo meat from Asia and/or Africa and then hope the American consumer will never notice. To find out more about where your pet’s food really comes from, visit us at any Treats Natural Pet Marketplace. We’ll guide you to foods made in the USA with ingredients from the USA.
