I share many of the concerns voiced by Jim Fattig (Feedback, July 9): lack of locals with dozers to jump on fires before they get out of hand; decommissioning strategic roads needed for fire and forest managing; brush, peckerwood poles, More ... Congratulations, Trinity County voters, it looks like we will have another chance to get a vitally needed and reasonable increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax from 5 percent to 10 percent. If we'll all give it just a moment's thought, we'll get it right this time and pass the increase. More ... To attempt to create controversy where none exists and to defame one of our fine local institutions seems very self-serving and mean-spirited to me. Ms. Felmery implies in her letter (Feedback, July 9) that the Old Lewiston Schoolhouse Library and Museum is doing something improper with book donations. More ... This letter is to inform and remind people to take precautions at all times. I was shopping in Redding and went to use the women's bathroom at a store. Due to an injury, I had been using the large "disabled" bathroom stall, so I tried the door and it was locked. More ... In response to Feedback of July 2, "It's time to shrink government." The people should read the Constitution of California and understand Prop. 218. Both are available through your Assemblywoman, Patty Berg. No charge for these documents!

In the beginning it was a rough start but they managed to turn it around and now serve a breakfast a standard above the local fair. It is too bad we will lose this quality. More ... We had a great turnout for the Weaverville Lions Club Cribbage Tournament on July 5. There were 52 participants. People came together to have fun and forget about the fears and smoke, if only for a couple of hours. More ... Open letter to District Ranger: Could some lightning rods or towers placed in strategic high points throughout the forest have prevented some of the fires? Do any other national forests use lightning rods as a means of preventing lightning fires? More ... The Burgess family wishes to extend a big thank you to the Rotary Club for allowing Jim Burgess Sr. to be this year's Grand Marshal of the Fourth of July Parade. We also want to say thanks to Steve Hagan and Boyd Butler for driving him. We are very proud of Weaverville and we were so happy to be part of the town's decision to honor Jim Burgess Sr. More ... |
