Many people who are opposed to legal hunting would be well-served if they would take a few hours of their time and attend a hunter education class. Having taught hunter education for many years and being a hunter using rifle, shotgun, muzzleloaders and archery equipment I have learned quite a bit about wildlife and people. More ... One fine morning, son Melvin and I were fishing on the upper Trinity River when we came upon a man sleeping. Fearing the worse, we woke him and asked if he was all right. He replied that he was taking a nap after a night of "owl hooting." Sensing our puzzlement he explained that he hooted owls for the timber company. More ... Please get to know your charities before making donations. Recently many Trinity County residents received a pink solicitation from the National Breast Cancer Research Center in Washington, D.C. Included in the packet was a pink ribbon decal for your window. More ... I'm beyond tired of hearing how broke Trinity County is. In my opinion the board is doing nothing to improve the situation. They're trying to balance by attrition! This will never work — hasn't for the last 100 years. Let's try something new for Trinity County! We'll apply logic — increase our tax base. More ... I am a fisheries biology student at Humboldt State University currently studying fish disease. As fish habitat degrades due to the effects of pollution, climate change, water loss and other factors, fish become more vulnerable to disease. More ... Be glad … be very glad! As a recently relocated Trinity County-ite, I would like to add to Barbara Talvola's delightful Sept. 2 column. Trinity County and Weaverville are so fortunate to have Tops Super Foods, Ace Hardware, CVS/Longs Drug, and each and every other business there! More ... As I was reading Ray Schar's latest "diarrhea of the mouth" as he calls it, I was wondering what he was smoking as he went on his latest rant in the letters column. Say Ray, you forgot a few on your list of "whys." Why do people worship the ground their head is buried in? From experience, I'm sure you could give us some enlightenment on that one. More ... More on hunting. I called the Fish and Game Department in Sacramento — they have no such data on wounded animals and said there are things floating around by animal rights groups that go from 14 percent to 80 percent depending on the day. The truth lies somewhere in between of course. I would lean toward 14 percent. More ... We are in the midst of a great national debate over health care. One side is accusing the other of being socialists, because that other side is pushing for a "Public Option. More ... John Veevaert's statements (Feedback, Sept. 2 Journal) are misleading. He also seems to need an "exaggeration check" option on his computer. He obviously was not at the town hall meeting or up on current events. Is this how he is going to lead us through an "enlightened and thoughtful debate? More ... The Internet and assorted news media can be utilized to readily research and support any belief. Rep. Wally Herger and his constituent used the "administration's" term "right-wing terrorist" as it has now morphed to represent "an informed supporter of liberty and freedom of speech willing and capable of expressing himself. More ... Mr. Veevaert and Mr. Strickler have apparently been living in a cave with UBL since the last election. The referenced comment in their articles last week about Wally Herger being a self-avowed "right-wing terrorist" is a lie. More ... Rep. Wally Herger has expressed support for a self-proclaimed right-wing terrorist. Given the benefit of hindsight, he reaffirmed his support for this man. Now, he must explain himself not only to the people in the 2nd Congressional District, but also to every American who has suffered due to terrorism. More ... I wonder if Homeand Security checked that woman for rabies? You know, the one that scratched that right-wing terrorist at Wally Herger's town hall meeting. I just wanted to know, because there sure a lot of left-wing liberal Democrats acting rabid lately. More ... A very good friend of mine took her own life today, she couldn't live in this world the way her country, our country, the United States is becoming. More ... We were heading to the coast and almost hit a Highway Patrol car that was making a U-turn in front of the Nugget restaurant. He didn't have his lights or sirens on. After I let go of the dashboard I started thinking "what would have happened if our places were switched?" If you have a job where you are responsible for enforcing laws then you do not break them. More ... Why when Caltrans has laid off employees to save money have they retained personnel to repair a problem that could wait until California is again more stable financially? "Life and death" highway repairs must be maintained even in our poor economy but "sidewalk" repairs probably do not fall into that category. More ... |
