Hawes and Mull under investigation?
The leader in local news and sports coverage throughout the Intermountain Area See Mountain Echo on the web at MountainEcho.com Published every Tuesday Vol. 36, No. 02 January, 10, 2012 Hawes and Mull under investigation? Reverge Anselmo says he went to FBI - Hawes says “It is BS” By Walt Caldwell Mountain Echo editor A bitter 2008-09 dispute between Reverge Anselmo, owner of 7-Hills Ranch and Anselmo Vineyards a dinner house known for its fine dining, fine wines, and beautiful view, led to litigation and finally may have resulted in an investigation of two of Shasta County’s top officials, Glenn Hawes and Russ Mull, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The battle began when Anselmo removed blackberry vines from his ranch in Inwood, west of Shingletown. The County came down hard on him accusing him of damaging a wetland which turned out to be a controversial claim. Anselmo pointed out that he was a rancher operating a ranch and removing blackberry vines was not disturbing any wetland. The County, led by Hawes who was chairman of the Board of Supervisors at the time, and Mull, who is in charge of the Planning Department, continued to pursue the matter. Anselmo says that while seeking information to be used during the continuing litigation, he began finding things involving Hawes and Mull which appeared to him to be criminal. He began turning that information over to the FBI in 2010. He says he has talked to agents since then and been assured that the agency was investigating. But, because of policy, he says, they would not tell him anything further. Gina B. Swankie, a spokeswoman for the FBI, also told Mountain Echo it was against the Department’s policy to confirm or deny any inquiry regarding a possible investigation and declined to make any comment regarding any possible investigation of Hawes or Mull. The rumor of an investigation has gone county wide since it was aired on KCNR and KQMS radio station talk shows in December, when callers said Hawes, who was announcing his candidacy for another term as Supervisor and Mull, are reportedly being investigated. In a phone interview Hawes, says it’s crazy and just a rumor. Mull didn’t return Mountain Echo’s phone call by press time Monday. Anselmo says “it is no mystery that there is something very wrong with the relationship between Hawes and Mull.” One questionable item he says involves a business owned by Hawes, the Stillwater Plains Mitigation Bank, Inc. and the county planning department. According to Anselmo the county was requiring, what, he feels, was an unusually large number of bonds, insuring the protection of the environment. He alleges that Hawes has an exclusive territory for issuance of such bonds in the Shasta County area. Anselmo said that appears to be a direct conflict of interest. Hawes, acknowledged that the mitigation bank was his company and said that people required to mitigate issues don’t have to use his services. He says they can post money with the agency requiring the mitigation in lieu of a bond. Hawes said he had tried to find out if he was being investigated and was unable to because of the agency’s policy not to comment. He says he asked Sheriff Tom Bosenko to check with the FBI on his behalf and Bosenko had told him there was nothing to the rumor. The whole thing is “no more than a rumor,” Hawes said. It is B.S.” Anselmo says it is being investigated and may take some time because of the FBI’s thoroughness. Experts update ag community By Valerie Lakey Mountain Echo reporter Photo by Ron Mosher EYES BASKET... Fall River’s John Michael Hubbard eyes basket in championship win over host Etna Saturday. Area teams start league play this week. See sports Section B for more NOME, AK- Jeff Kinzel, 58, son of Jack Kinzel of Burney is one of the 3,500 Nome, Alaska residents anxiously awaiting the imminent delivery of fuel. The town is expected to run out before their Spring Shipment can be brought in. Nome was already iced in when the November shipment was scheduled to arrive so it wasn’t delivered. Gasoline, diesel and fuel oil already costs the residents $5.43 a gallon. There are no roads into Nome and ice has blocked the harbor. If the gasoline has to be flown in, one aircraft load at a time, it is estimated that gas will cost the consumers in Nome well over $9 a gallon. Temperatures are regularly recorded at 20 degrees to 30 degrees below zero and the ice has made it necessary for the Coast Guard’s only currently active ice breaker, the Healy, to accompany a double hulled 9.5 million gallon Russian tanker, the Renda, with a load of fuel from South Korea. In addition to the ice, the mission has faced problems that had to be solved. Homeland Security has waived regulations to make the joint effort possible. The ice breaker and tanker are too large and the harbor too shallow to come into port so, when they arrive, they will have to work out a way to get the fuel in. That way will probably involve using a mile of special hose one of the two ships is carrying. McARTHUR - Local Farmers and ranchers met for the annual Winter Ag Meeting hosted by Shasta County Ag Department, University of California Cooperative Extension, McArthur Farm Supply, Floyd A Boyd Co., and Copp’s Irrigation. Growers were given the opportunity to update their Restricted Material’s permit through Shasta, Lassen and Modoc Counties. Topics covered ranged from an update on restrictions and rules through the Ag Commissioners office and a demonstration of safety equipment. The Natural Resource Conservation District (NRCS) was on hand to go over changes in the funding programs for farmers and ranchers in the area. The “Equip Program” will no longer be selected from just the local area. All applications will be selected from a regional area. Applications are rated and compete against a larger pool for available funds. For more information on NRCS projects and funding, contact the McArthur NRCS office. Shasta County Farm Advisor Dan Marcum and McArthur Farm Supply PCA, Steve Iliff discussed the importance of fertilizer, methods of soil and plant sampling and how to compensate for deficiencies. Iliff presented data related to the amount of nutrients taken away from a crop at harvest. He and Marcum both emphasized that having samples evaluated can “paint a better picture” as to what fertilizers and nutrients a crop needs. Iliff reiterated that all fields and soil are different so standard fertilizer practices of “what we have always done” may not produce the best yields. In addition to proper nutrient balance, water quality is also important. Steve Grattan of UC Davis addressed water quality and its affect with plants response to fertilizers. Cattle ranchers heard from Shasta County Livestock advisor, Larry Forero regarding the performance advantage of wintering Cattle in the Sacramento Valley. Hay markets were also discussed along with the markets for other local crops. There were several breakout Sessions available including livestock issues, irrigation and technology, marketing and the annual InterMountain Haygrowers meeting. A trade show was also available for those in attendance.

My reasoning is simple. First, I don’t base my reporting on what any other media organization does or does not choose to report. My job is to report accurately, fairly and be as thorough as possible on issues of interest to my readership, not what some other media organization thinks is politically correct or of interest to their readers. Second, I’ve never been known for being politically correct, or willing to back off because someone would rather I not do a story. Third, Mr. Hawes is a public figure, elected by the voters of Shasta County’s District 3, of which the Intermountain Area is a part. Mr. Mull is a bureaucrat serving at the pleasure of Mr. Hawes and the other supervisors. What these two men do directly affects our daily lives and future of those they serve. I knew it would happen, school is back in after the holiday break and the pace has picked up. In fact, I write this column while at the Etna basketball tournament where all Fall River and Burney teams are playing. There are a lot of familiar faces and it seems like everyone is having a great time. It is pretty neat watching Fall River alumni become involved in coaching. Breanne Reynolds is helping with the varsity girls and Matt Westland and Colin Corr are involved in the boy’s program. These were all very talented athletes at our local school. Thank you for becoming a part of our community and students! There are several fundraiser dinners coming up that you may want to plan ahead for. The Adin Crab Feed will be two nights, Friday, January 20 and Saturday, January 21 at the Adin Community Hall. Cost is $30 and the dinner is at 6:30 p.m. both nights. If it’s crab you like you will have another chance at the Fall River Boosters Crab and triTip Dinner on February 11 in McArthur. This dinner will be from 6 – 8 p.m. and tickets are available from booster’s club members. The boosters do a lot of work supporting the local athletes and students. They will again be hosting Sober Grad Night, so your contribution will be well used. As examples, the County Board of Supervisors, at the recommendation of the Planning Department have considered and passed controversial measures with the potential of major impacts such as the “High Density – Low Income” planning measure and the Knighton Road Project and the Hatchet Ridge Windmill Project, each which had large numbers of individuals in the affected areas opposing them. In the case of the Knighton Road Project the citizens have gone so far as to force the issue to be placed on the June ballot. Fourth, Reverge Anselmo, is not known as a kook. He is a legitimate rancher and business man, well known and successful, who became embroiled in a dispute with the County in a highly publicized matter still going through the courts. Fifth, Mr. Hawes has announced he is planning to run for re election and his record is under scrutiny by his constituents. When rumors, true, false or otherwise reach the public for whatever reason or in whatever manner they may impact the election of an official such as Mr. Hawes. If, Would you rather have spaghetti? You are in luck; the Burney Little League Spaghetti Dinner will be Saturday, January 28 at 5:00 p.m. in Burney. The also have a great drawing going on with many prizes. Mayers Memorial Hospital has a new slogan. “Always Caring, Always Here.” The new slogan was a collaborative effort by the facility team, starting as a contest for employees. Almost twenty possible slogans were entered, with the winning slogan submitted by Keith Earnest, Chief Clinical Officer for Mayers. After employees submitted their ideas, the choices were narrowed down at several committees and the final decision fell to the Board of Directors during the December meeting. Mayers Board of Directors members also adopted a new Mission statement: “Mayers Memorial Hospital District serves the Intermountain area providing outstanding patientcentered healthcare to improve quality of life through dedicated, compassionate staff and innovative technology.” I hear that Keith happens to be in Thailand at the moment along with Burney High School Graduate Brett Shoemaker. There were even pictures of Brett parasailing. Looks like quite an adventure. The Intermountain Cattlewomen are looking for new members. This is a very active organization dedicated to promot- for no other reason, they deserve to be aired to help set the record . The information gathered can then be presented so that the constituents may evaluate the issue and act with a better understanding of what the “rumor” is all about. The constituents can make up their minds as to whether the rumor is true or false. It is too bad that law enforcement agencies at all levels will not “confirm or deny” inquiries about their investigations. That would quickly turn a rumor into fact or garbage. However, if they did that, it would also severely hamper, if not destroy, many of their chances to complete an investigation. With that in mind, I did everything I could to verify the validity of the rumor. I presented what I found out fairly and thoroughly and kept side issues and non-related issues out of the story. My door is always open to anyone who wishes to give further information which may shed additional light on any story, including the one in question. ing agriculture in the Intermountain area. They provide scholarships for local students and participate in many educational activities in local schools. If you have an interest in promoting agriculture, this could be a good organization for you. The Intermountain Tea Party group will be hosting a meeting on January 24 featuring a candidates night. Everyone is encouraged to attend. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Veteran’s Hall in Fall River Mills. There is also a Municipal Advisory Council Meeting at 7:00 p.m. January 19 at the McArthur Lions Hall. The main topic will be the auxiliary water storage tank in McArthur. Community residents are encouraged to attend. I heard a little tip about a newly published book by one of our local residents. It is a murder mystery by Georgia Brown Zuniga. “Cager” is available at the Barnes and Noble website. Be watching for another story about a recently published author. “WHO IS THIS MAN - A Journey Through Alzheimer’s” by Edna Eades is available on Amazon.com. Keep the information coming. I appreciate it and am very happy to include your events in this column. valerielakey@ yahoo.com Thank you Editor: The family of Gerry Crane would like to thank everyone for the kindness, help and support they gave us during the loss of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Gerry Crane.

January 10, 2011 Page A-3 A male lion takes a break. A look at the other side of the world Four months in Botswana - the final chapter By Shea Logan Mountain Echo reporter I n July I said goodbye to Burney and my school to study abroad in Botswana Africa. For the past four months I have lived and gone to school at the University of Botswana. I joined twenty other students from across the U.S for a new experience. Just like the others, I left not knowing what to expect but ready for anything that came my way. This semester has been a whirlwind and the time has come to say goodbye to UB, the many friends I’ve gained, and Botswana. This past week the 21 of us had the chance to visit the Okavango Delta before we all said goodbye. The Okavango is the largest inland delta in the world. It encompasses multiple protected game parks and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa. Home for many animals, the Okavango is what many people imagine when they think of Africa. After spending most of my time in the city at the university it was great to spend the past week hours away from any town or city camping in different game parks. Every morning we would wake with the sun and spend eight hours in the back of a safari truck in search of lions, elephants, leopards, and many more. It could be hours, even days, before you saw the next predator. It’s not everyday that you see a lion or leopard and it’s fairly rare to see any but the sight of one would make everything worthwhile. We happened to be the lucky few to spot them with ease. Within hours of entering the large reserve we came across three pregnant lionesses lying in the shade next to the road. The lionesses lay there, unaffected by our presence, as we were able to drive within feet of them. The following morning we drove around a corner to find a pride of lions with a cub. Again, the lions paid little attention to us as we sat there in awe. We thought it couldn’t get any better but it did everyday. It had been three weeks before any tourists, guide, or park official had seen any leopards and we were warned that it was a high possibility that we wouldn’t see any. It was only the second day of camping when we were out on a late afternoon drive. We had already spent four hours in the truck and it was quite uneventful up until that point. I was in the second of three trucks when in the distance we just happened to spot a crouching leopard. We had hit the jackpot. The leopard was on the hunt, looking for its next dinner. We were lucky enough to get within ten feet of it following it as it inched closer to the impalas and wildebeests. The leopard waited over thirty minutes waiting for the right moment to pounce. There were so many chances for the leopard but the impalas and wildebeests outsmarted him and escaped before he could catch his prey. With in an unsuccessful chase the leopard climbed up a tree to take a nap while we looked on. It was one of the most amazing sights. This was a ‘This is Africa’ moment. We had spent months in Botswana waiting for something like this and we had just ended our time abroad on top of the world. With our last time together in the Okavango Delta, the time has come to leave Botswana. Many people, including local Batswanans, have asked why I chose to study in Africa. I’ll be honest and say that at first I didn’t really know either. I had barely heard of Botswana before meeting with advisors and knew little about Africa. I just knew I wanted to go there. Now that my study abroad has come to a close, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Africa was long in the making, I had the opportunity to anywhere in the world and I wanted something different. I went to school with 15,000 local and international students, took part in multiple excursions, lived with a local family in a ‘village’, and ended with an amazing safari. The past four months have been filled with so many memorable moments. There have been many places I’ve never thought of going to but coming to Botswana has given me so many opportunities. I have lived with the Batswana, visited South Africa and Zambia, and have experienced some of the most spectacular environments in the world. After coming to Botswana I was warned that I wouldn’t want to leave. Beyond the exciting locations, it has been the hardest to say good- bye to all the friends I’ve made. We have always joked that it takes a certain kind of person to choose Botswana; you have to want to go. It is hard for someone to go out on a limb and spent months in a country studying with little or no insight. Five months is not long but being in an unfamiliar country with people that I’ve never met has had a significant impact on my life. The feeling of leaving Botswana has been similar to that of graduating high school. There are always going to be those moments that I will always remember and want to relive. I met incredible people and made great friends, some I may never see again, but we have all shared in this experience. One thing will always remain: we all came into this program alone and left one big family. I had an amazing time in Africa and I want to thank the Mt. Echo Walt and Donna for allowing me to share in my experience.

Nielsen angry over delay in funding Veteran’s Home SACRAMENTO – Budget Vice Chair, Assemblyman Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) expressed his outrage with Governor Brown’s decision in his proposed budget to delay the Redding Veterans Home for yet another year denying those who have served and sacrificed for our nation the care they deserve. “This is just one of a long list of bad decisions Brown has made that have hurt veterans since he’s been in the office,” said Nielsen. “He’s reneging on a commitment he’s made to those who have fought hard, sacrificing their lives even, for our country.” “Brown appears to be holding the already completed Redding and Fresno Veterans homes hostage in a budget proposal that one commentator has accurately referred to as ‘the biggest ransom note in history,’ said Nielsen. “The Governor’s threat that if California citizens don’t ‘pay up’ to the tune of $7 billion in new taxes, he will cut these homes, cut three weeks from the K-12 school year and continue his dangerous release of tens of thousands of un-rehabilitated criminals into their communities, is a shakedown of epic proportions.” Nielsen explained that the delay for another year of the Veterans Homes could compromise Federal Funding to assist with these important projects, and he thought this was an unacceptable risk to take by delaying the homes’ com pletion. “As for our American heroes, California veterans, the Governor’s track record has proven that they are not a priority for him, especially when state expenditures are increased by 7% in the proposed budget,” said Nielsen. special privileges this year, including a parking spot.

Sunny With Occasional Tirades - a review Sharon Nesbit Sunny with Occasional Tirades By Sharon Nesbit By Walt Caldwell Mountain Echo editor What I’ve always loved about Sharon Nesbit is that she’s been there. She understands life and presents it with a smoothness and sense of humor that makes it a joy to read. Additionally, each column is short meaning you can pick the book up and put it down without losing your train of thought. Her column on “The Outlook” the paper she has worked for more than 40 years, could just as easily been describing The “Mountain Echo” or many other papers, when she says “...And more nights than we can count, we are the only people at city council meetings, except, of course, the city council.” She went on to point out that those in the newspaper business are human, “Some nights we screw it up and miss a quote or spell a name wrong or - dammit- louse up the numbers. Often we print a story that some hurting family wished they didn’t have to read. All of our readers want more of some things, less of others and are positive the other High School gets the most press.” It doesn’t matter where you open up her book, you find yourself reading about something familiar. As an example I opened randomly and read “Spock, keeping babies alive.” As someone whose mother and father sprayed DDT on the floor to kill ants, didn’t panic when I teethed on the table legs that had been painted with a lead based paint, and taught me I could make my pennies shiny if I rubbed them with liquid Mercury, and for the most part raised my daughter the same way because no one had drummed into us that we had to worry about germs on everything, and that if you didn’t wrap your kid in bubble wrap and dress them like they were going to play tackle football the chances are they’d kill themselves. Sharon put it better, saying in part... “If something went wrong, we looked in his troubleshooting guide (Benjamin Spock’s book of Baby and Child Care). Usually the first paragraph under a subjectfor instance, “vomiting”- yielded the answer. (either Jell-O or warm 7-Up.) The trick was to read no further. If you pursued the subject to the third paragraph, you got to projectile vomiting and panicked.” I understood and chuckled and ended with a better understanding that Donna and I weren’t alone in how we experienced the world around us, just as my grandson Scott and his wife Crystal would when she points out “...we raised our children without the guilt required of today’s parents. I think that’s what bugs our kids. That, and the fact that they turned out pretty well.” The 100 columns span 11 categories from beginnings to life lessons with Maud, technology, tirades casual parenting and casual grandparenting among those in between. I have no problem recommending the book written by Sharon who also delighted our readers for a number of years, edited by the editor of the Gresham, Oregon Outlook, her boss, Len Otto, Sunny with Occasional Tirades sells for $15.95 and is currently available at Mountain Echo or Amazon.com. In fact, I think it should be required reading for all who take themselves too seriously and want to think and learn with a smile on their face. No Warning - No Mercy - a review Gwen Rickman New Twists On Dessert Favorites (StatePoint) Getting your family to eat right doesn’t mean forcing them to skip dessert or forego favorite cakes and cookies. You just need to learn to prepare those sweets in better ways. It’s all about making desserts that are wholesome and delicious, so your kids will actually eat them. A few easy alterations can make a big difference -- such as reducing sugar or fat, adding fruits or swapping-in more healthy fats and grains. Here are some tweaks for your family’s sweets: • Substitute: Replace ingredients with smart alternatives. Try swapping white flour with whole wheat flour in cakes and cookies. You can use two egg whites for a whole egg in most recipes, or dark chocolate instead of more fattening milk chocolate. And low-fat milk usually can be used instead of whole milk. • Reduce: For starters, serve-up smaller dessert portions. Plate a small slice of cake or pie with some fruit and your kids won’t notice the difference. Within recipes, try reducing the amount of sugar or butter. In most cases you won’t miss what you leave out. • Don’t Deprive: Most desserts add some fat and sugar into your family’s diet. Deal with it. Saying “no” will lead loved ones to look elsewhere for sweets at school or work. You can even indulge their urge for candy. Just be careful with portions and consider smart options, such as Nestlé Raisinets, California raisins drenched in rich Nestlé Milk or Dark Chocolate. They have 30 percent less fat than the leading chocolate brands and provide real fruit in every serving. • Add Fruits: Add fruits to cakes and pies, even as toppings instead of whipped cream. You can add apples or applesauce to most recipes without anybody complaining. And tossing in some berries or raisins will add antioxidants. To get started, here’s an easy recipe for oatmeal cookies using whole wheat flour, brown sugar and a special twist. More creative recipes can be found at Facebook.com/raisinets. Deluxe Oatmeal Raisinets Cookies 1 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats 1 cup Nestlé Raisinets (dark or milk chocolatecovered) 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, Raisinets and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. For smaller cookies, use a level tablespoon. This yields about 4 1/2 dozen cookies. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. No Warning No Mercy By local author Gwen Rickman By Walt Caldwell Mountain Echo editor Gwen Rickman and her husband Rick are no strangers to prison life. Both spent a number of years working in the system before their retirement. Because of this No Warning - No Mercy has a style and air of confidence about it that, even though fictional, puts the reader inside the prison walls and minds of those involved. A riveting plot, not one you’d want to read alone at midnight. As the close of the prologue demonstrates, it isn’t a book for the squeamish. Written on the living room wall, in the family’s blood, was the final coupe-de-grace, “Debt paid in full, mother F_____.” The story is about Correctional Captain “Mac” Makey and Cor- rectional Officer Carlos Vega, the prison, prison gangs, and payback. Rickman carefully builds her characters, setting and plot, from Carlos Vega, a womanizing family man with a big ego to a number of others including the Makey and Vega wives and children, inmate Raymond Ortiz who heads the Surenos gang in the prison and a host of others. Rickman takes the readers inside the prison and exposes the day to day routines, the cold blooded relationships, manipulation, set ups, ruefulness, revenge, pay backs criminal activity, while building her plot to a nail-biting climax. Tips For Making Your Home Senior Friendly (StatePoint) More seniors than ever before are living healthy independent lives well into their golden years. And a vast majority want to remain in their homes as long as possible, according to the National Aging in Place Council. However, most houses were not built to adapt to our changing needs as we age. “The good news is there are many simple ways to make a home more functional for your needs as you age,” says Shannon Sims, marketing communications manager for ThermaTru Corp. By 2030, Americans 65 and older will make up 20 percent of the population. For those wishing to make aging-in-place easier, there are several things to consider. De-clutter Rooms Eliminate clutter that could get in your way, such as planters and small console tables. Pay attention to area rugs and other tripping hazards. And if you have wood floors and carpeting, install transition strips where they adjoin. Evaluate Your Entryway To ideally accommodate a wheelchair, the doorway to your home should be at least 32-inches wide. Even without a wheelchair, a wider opening can be beneficial when entering and exiting. There are different doors you can install to meet your mobility needs and personal style. For example, Therma-Tru offers 42-inch wide entry doors in its Classic-Craft Rustic Collection and Classic-Craft Oak Collection, to allow for easier access and for dramatic and elegant curb appeal. Also consider how the door swings. A door that swings in may be easier to operate than one swinging out. A remodeling contractor can help determine what your home can accommodate structurally, provide recommendations for styles and handle installation. Tweak Bathrooms and Kitchens Lowering countertops in your kitchen and bathroom can make using them easier. And consider grab-bars for showers and bathtubs. For their part, curbless showers and bathtubs with entrances that open can reduce the possibility of falling. Get a Grip According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 67 million adults will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis by the year 2030. For them, just turning a doorknob can be painfully difficult. Consider installing lever-style handles on exterior and interior doors. And choose ones with a multipoint locking system for ease of opening, such as those from Therma-Tru, which also provide greater security and stability. “Making life easier can be as simple as choosing low-maintenance entry doors with easy-to-use levers instead of doorknobs. Or, to allow more fresh air and light into the home, a homeowner can request Vented Sidelites on their doors that swing open easily on hinges,” says Sims. Upgrade Patio Doors Patio doors tend to receive more traffic than front doors. If your patio door is due for an upgrade, you can choose the classic elegance of a hinged door or the modern convenience of a sliding door. Both are available in two-, threeor four-panel configurations to ensure a wide In her book the gangs are growing stronger because of the increase in drug trafficking and struggle for control between the various gangs. Inmate Ortiz manages to set up Officer Vega. That set up leaves he and his family and friends vulnerable. Captain Makey finds himself in the position as he becomes charged with investigating criminal activity on both sides of the prison wall.

Big Valley is in Westwood Wednesday for a non-league game, then opens League season on the road in Dunsmuir on Friday. A Sacramento high school girls team lost a recent game by the verrrrrry lopsided score of 105-2. That’s not a typo - 105 to two. The Johnson warriors lost the game - their fourth without a win this season, and both coaches agree that the winning Florin team did NOT run up the score. Johnson coach, Jeanie Huizar is quoted in the Sacramento Bee as saying her players didn’t want to quit when it was 69-0 at halftime and didn’t want pity from their opponent, and they are eager for their next game. Personally I’d have been looking forward to the next game after the first two minutes of that tilt. Johnson is not a small high school, so why so poor at basketball? Apparently none of the girls have any basketball experience, and are learning to dribble with one hand and learning to block out and other fundamentals of the game all under game situations. Here’s the kicker - 30 girls signed up for the team, but only 12 were able to make grades. Since then, four more have dropped out because of poor grades. To this ol’ guy, this is just a sad commentary on what’s wrong today. When I was a kid (now I’m sounding like my parents - ugh!) if I came home with poor grades I wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week, nor would I be allowed to leave the house - except to go to school. It is not that difficult to make a ‘C’ average. It takes a little work, but not difficult. Now back to the idea that Florin didn’t run up the score. Excuse me, but scoring 105 points against any team means your squad had to go all out all the time from tip-off to buzzer. A truly good coach would have seen it was time to practice your passing game and use the shot clock to slow down the debacle. To continue to blaze away in a score-at-will manner just doesn’t make sense. Oh, and the two Warrior points came as free throws. I congratulate the eight girls who’ve kept their grades high enough to remain on the Johnson Warrior’s team, and wish them the best of luck.

For those who want snow, consider moving to Cordova, Alaska. Cordova is a small fishing village that is used to snow, but is literally buried in the white stuff after 18 feet fell this past week. That’s correct - not another typo Eighteen Feet of Snow! Roofs have collapsed, and many are trapped inside their homes because they can’t get out their doors. I love snow, but even this is a bit too much for my liking... after all, you can’t build a snowman if you can’t get outside. • Here’s an item you can file under the “Huh???” file folder. One Jeffrey Drew Wilschke was arrested in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier this year. He was again arrested this past week. Apparently he legally changed his name in between the two arrests... His new name - and I’m not making this up Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop Bop-Bop. Go figure. Do you call him Mr. Zopittybob Bop-Bop or just Mr. Bop-Bop? Personally, I don’t really care to know. Can we just call him ‘idiot’ for short? • 49er Fever is once again gripping northern California, as our beloved team is finally back in the playoffs. They host New Orleans this weekend, and no matter how die-hard you are, you have to be a bit worried. Another miracle finish for Tebow fans in Denver, with their 29-23 overtime win Sunday evening. Personally I think any team will have trouble downing the Green Bay Packers - huh, Dakota??

They blew the game open in the fourth period with a 15-7 run for the win. Injuries plague Lady Cardinals BIEBER - The one thing the Lady Cards can’t afford is injuries with a limited number of players on the squad. But injuries did plague them this past week, as their tilt in Hayfork on Tuesday was cancelled when Rebecca Barnett’s torn calf muscle (coupled with Hailey Stevenson’s injured ankle) left not enough players to field a team. They did manage to get a team together on Friday for their season home opener against Mt. Shasta, but came up short in the scoring department. “I had to make a tough decision for the future of the varsity program this week,” noted coach Norm Stevenson, “either to not play the Mt. Shasta game or move a JV player up. I knew that I had to have a player who could play the front court as well as the back court.” He continued, “I made the decision to move Erica Stevenson up hoping to utilize her size inside as well as her dribbling and passing abilities. One more injury and we’ll be forced to combine the two teams.” Big Valley came up short to the Lady Bears Friday, 36-66, “a very good team with quick players and good shooters,” Stevenson quipped. Megan Bertelsen notched nine points with 10 rebounds, while Magen Fairchild and Courtney Jones each added seven points. Hailey Stevenson returned with six points, while Erica Stevenson had five, Andrea Torres with two. Big Valley (6-7) is in Westwood Wednesday, the begins league play on the road Dunsmuir (1-7) Friday night. in on Credit the defense in this one, with Fall River stealing the ball 24 times to rattle the Lady Lions.

Parker added 12 along with 18 rebounds, while Thompson hit a doubledouble with 11 points and 19 boards. Mandy Lakey added three, while Alex Whitney and Cora Venegas had two each and Emily Vigil one. Costellanos was named the MVP, with Parker All-Tourney. FR coach Kathy Jones noted before the final tilt Saturday that she views the upcoming SCL season as a race between Etna, Weed, Modoc and her Bulldogs for the top slot. After downing Etna here, her squad has now faced all three of those other teams, coming up with preseason wins over Modoc and now Etna, but coming up short against Weed. Fall River (8-4) is in Modoc (7-3) Tuesday (tonight) then gets a rematch with Etna (4-8) at home on Friday. FR BOYS WIN TOURNEY_____ Continued from B-1 The Bulldogs got double digit scoring from a quartet of players, led by Reynolds with 23.
