Colusa County Farm Bureau Supports Local Firefighters Local firefighters have been helping out wherever they can in the battle against wildfires throughout Northern Califor-nia, Seeing this, the Colusa County Farm Bureau decided to donate 2 pallets of bottled water, one for the city fire depart-ment and one for the rural. This kept the firefighters well hydrated while on the brutal firelines and also let them know they had the support of the CCFB.

The Pig Putt Golf Tour-nament was started 26 years ago by local Cali-fornia Highway Patrol officers, some who are now retired and some that have moved on to other areas. Those offi-cers were Gary Regnani, Allen Maxey and Clay Jones.Officer Clay Jones ran

the tournament from 1985 to 1995 and from 1995 on it has been run by Officer Bill Cobb. The tour-nament was initially started for a rest and relaxation outlet for local law enforcement and also to raise money for local or other worthy charities. The tournament, which is held annually either the second or third Friday in June, is open to everyone, not just law enforcement personnel. They dedicated this year’s tournament in honor of the fallen Yolo County Deputy Tony Diaz who was killed June 15. Event planners felt that the timing of the tournament (the day of Diaz’s funeral) was an appropriate way to remember him by. All the proceeds of this year’s tournament went to his fam-ily. Traditionally the money raised each year goes to the CAHP Widows and Orphans Fund, but the money can be used and dispensed to other charities as directed and voted by the board

Valuable CouponsInside Boxing Team Formed In Colusa County

Recently members of the boxing club were treated to a camping and fishing trip in reward for all their hard work.

Many may not realize it but Colusa County has its own USA sanctioned boxing team. USA Boxing is the authority for all amateur boxing teams nationwide. This free club was started by Merced Corona of the Colusa County Sheriff’s Office, who has his own history of amateur boxing. “Right now my wife and I cover most of the costs to run and maintain the gym,” stated Corona. “It’s a way we enjoy giving back to the sport we love and we really enjoy working with the kids in the community.”On June 29 they took kids from the boxing team on a two day camping and fishing trip as a reward for all their hard work over the past three months of training.“All of the kids caught at least one or two bass, for some it was their first experience fishing,” shared Corona.The team will start training again in September and currently is open for new membership to both boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 14.

For more information call or email the Williams Pioneer Review and we will get you in contact with the Corona’s. Contact us at 530-383-4861 or [email protected].

On the fourth of July the residents of Williams were treated to 36 American flags that had been generously donated, decorating the downtown district. A long time wish of Patricia Ash, the fundraising was started last February and through a donation of $25.00 a flag and pole could be purchased and would be put out on the holidays that honor our veterans.

Ash reflected that growing up in Williams, all the businesses would put out a flag on holidays but over the years the tradition died. So with the idea, and the memory, and the cooperation of the Citizens of a Better Williams the tradition has now been brought back to life.

Flags were purchased through Williams Hardware and bright galvanized poles manufactured by Dave Goforth, with the assistance of Kevin Ash. The flags were then assembled by Jim and Andi Armstrong and Pat Ash . Bright and early on the morning of the fourth, the flags were placed in holes drilled by John Benson, Bill Bowen and Pete Garcia of the Williams Public Works Dept. By 7am, American flags were, once again, flying in downtown Williams.

Thirtysix flags are a good start, although the Citizens would like to see many more flying. If you would like to be a part of the project, you may send your tax deductible donation to: Citizens for A Better Williams, PO Box 702, Williams, CA 95987.

Are you still using a screen saver?By Lloyd Green, Jr.

Colusa County Chamber President

When I started this column a while back, I never thought it would be this interesting to find some great articles and tips on saving energy and promoting a greener life. As business owners, we often rely on technology, and there has been an increasing effort to educate people to become more energy-efficient on using their computers, peripherals, consumer electronics and gadgets. The most overlooked part of your computer for its energy efficiency is its monitor. Sure, you have purchased a flat-screen LCD monitor, Energy Star® compatible, but are you still using your screen saver? If yes, turn it off. In the good old days of tube monitors, screen savers such as the “flying windows” and picture slide shows were invented to prevent burn-in, a permanent shadow branded into the phosphors of your monitor by a static image of the last thing you left on your screen. Today’s flat-screen LCD monitors don’t burn in, so if you still have the “flying windows” or that endlessly looping slideshow of your adorable children, or your recent trip to Cabo, then you’re behind the times, even if you have the best and greatest computer today. So, if you’re not sitting at your computer, then turn it off! Or set your monitor to turn off after three to five minutes of inactivity. This usually can be adjusted and set up under the screen-saver preferences, normally under “power settings.” If you are frequently away from your computer or only use it for “point-of-sale” transactions, for instance, then set your power settings to just one minute of inactivity. Many companies and corporations are starting to turn to this procedure. One in particular is Telstra, the biggest phone company in Australia, that has removed all the corporate screen savers from the 36,000 computers in its offices. What will happen? The change will cut tons of CO2, which they claim will be the equivalent of taking 140 cars off the road for a year. Good on ya, mate! Follow Telstra’s example. Let your flying windows and 3D Text crash and burn!Summer Energy Saving Tips: ► In warm climates, where summertime heat gain is the main concern, look for windows with double glazing and spectrally selective coatings that reduce heat gain.

► If your air conditioner is old, consider purchasing a new, energy-efficient model. You could save up to 50% on your utility bill for cooling. Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels.

► Keep in mind that insulation and sealing air leaks will help your energy performance in the summertime by keeping the cool air inside.

► Plant trees or shrubs to shade air conditioning units but not to block the airflow. Place your room air conditioner on the north side of the house. A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in the sun.

► Don’t place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostat senses heat from these appliances, which can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary.

► Consider using an interior fan in conjunction with your window air conditioner to spread the cooled air more effectively through your home without greatly increasing your power use.

► Don’t set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and, therefore, unnecessary expense.

► Whole-house fans help cool your home by pulling cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. They are effective when operated at night and when the outside air is cooler than the inside.

► During the cooling season, keep the window coverings closed during the day to prevent solar gain.

MHSA Assisting With Outreach in Colusa CountyWith funding through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), the Colusa County Department of Behavioral Health is reaching out to its consumers with a monthly newsletter. The publication recaps recent events, giving those involved a boost and recognition for their participation. The newsletter includes positive messages, as well as a monthly calendar of events.

Feedback indicates that this publication has been a welcome addition for consumers, and it has opened doors of communication between mental health consumers and the public. Several of the Colusa County Mental Health Services consumers have agreed to be interviewed to share their stories for the newsletter and for other local publications.

Earlier this spring a drop-in center, “Safe Haven,” was added at the Colusa County Behavioral Health building. Safe Haven provides a safe, welcoming place for consumers to gather. It is being operated with a number of structured activities, as well as providing a place where consumers can feel at ease and socialize without fear of discrimination.

Additional outreach is being developed through a series of eye-catching brochures. Each brochure contains behavioral health facts and information on how and where to receive help. Along with the brochures, the Colusa County Department of Behavioral Health created an easy-to-read insert, which contains listings of help organizations, churches, and mental-health facilities in and around the county. The two-sided flyers are being distributed by the local recycled merchandise store, IMPACT Colusa County, by placing one in each bag of purchased merchandise.

Impacting Colusa CountyFor years Impact Life and its volunteers have been helping the commu-nity. Started by Cathleen Hulbert to help those in need, as well as rais-ing funds for the youth Christian organization, Younglife, it continues to make a positive ‘impact’ on many lives throughout the county.Impact relies heavily on items that are donated to the store. The donated items are then sold at an affordable price at the Impact store, to those families who may not be able to purchase the same items new. Money raised through the sales of these items are returned into the operation of the program and other programs that improve the quality of life in Colusa County.As with any organizations, volunteers are always needed, and wel-comed. Some people volunteer through their church, school or other community programs.“Colusa County is one of the nicest places in the country to live,” said operations manager Buffy Welch “People here truly care about each other as human beings, regardless of their social or economic status.”“Our main goal is the preservation of the family unit Continued Page 14

I dodged a bullet the other night. Mer-edith announced at bedtime “I know how you have a baby.” Instantly my stomach dropped.

Heaving a big sigh I bravely asked “How do you get a baby?”

“Well. You pray and pray really hard then God lifts you up into the sky and gives you a baby,” she explained while demonstrat-ing the ‘praying really hard’, eyes scrunched shut, then lifting her hands heavenward.

I have to say, I was thanking my lucky stars. Hopefully she couldn’t see the relieved look on my face because I was in no way ready to have that talk with my five and a half year old daughter. Yikes.

Last week Meredith participated in a horse camp put on by Marcy Parsons in Williams. She had an absolute blast. I was really happy for her to have the opportunity, being raised on a farm, being around the cows and horses, I wouldn’t trade it for anything and it was cool watching how excited she was, learning new things, making memories. Isaac is really looking forward to next year’s horse camp, I am too.

Well, I just put the kids on a plane to Oregon with my mother-in-law. It was a little bittersweet. Last year Meredith went up there to attend vacation bible school with family, Isaac stayed home because he was still fighting the potty training battle. This year they are both going. It sometimes makes me really sad to see how fast they are growing up, but I am thrilled with their independence and very individual personalities. I am very proud of them, they never cease to amaze me with their humor and antics, yes, I am sure they have given me a few gray hairs but they are worth it. Thankfully I color my hair!!! I look forward to each and every day spent with my family, I am truly blessed.

OPINION

Overview of Enterprise Zone Tax Credits in CaliforniaEDC Insight By Lynda Reynolds, Colusa County Economic Development Corporation Chair

Businesses located within predetermined boundaries of an enterprise zone are eligible for tax credits against their corporate tax liability. The major tax credit enjoyed by businesses is the sales- and use-tax credit on purchase of new or used equipment worth up to $20 million a year. The machinery or the equipment purchased is deemed qualified if it is used to:

process, fabricate, manufacture, or assemble a product.•

produce a renewable energy resource.•

control water and air pollution.•

Qualified machinery includes communication and data-processing equipment: all equipment such as telephone systems. Fax machines, copiers, computers, and computer- aided design (CAD) systems are also included. The only rider is that the equipment should have been purchased in California. Only if the equipment of comparable quality and price is not available in California, businesses may purchase from outside the state.

Business owners can claim hiring credits, a percentage of the wages paid to an employee hired after the designation of the zone. The amount that can be claimed is based on the actual hourly wage or 150 percent of the minimum wage, whichever is lower. The credit can be claimed over a five-year period. In the first year 50 percent of the wages can be claimed as tax credit, 40 percent in the second year, 30 percent in the third year, 20 percent in the fourth year and 10 percent in the fifth year. If the employee stays with the business owner for five years, the business owner gets almost $32,000 tax credit. However, if the employee is fired or leaves the company before 270 days, the credit will be recaptured.

Apart from these two major incentives, there are three more tax incentives that businesses can claim to increase their bottom line.

Net operating loss can be carried forward for a period of 15 years or until •it is exhausted, whichever is earlier. If the business has operations both within the enterprise zone and outside, then NOL is determined by using an enterprise-zone apportionment formula.

On certain depreciable property, businesses can get an up-front •expensing of up to $15,000.

Business loans and mortgage loans obtained from commercial and non-•commercial sources are eligible for net-interest deduction if they meet certain conditions:

The loan must be obtained after the enterprise zone designation or before 1. the expiry of the designation.

Only loans made to businesses that are within the enterprise zones are 2. eligible.

The loan amount has to be used only for the business activity that is 3. carried out in the enterprise zone.

The lender should have no vested interest in the borrower’s business.

The net interest deduction is allowed only while the business is located in the enterprise zone. In the event of the business owner relocating the business outside the enterprise zone or on the expiration of the enterprise zone, the net interest deduction ceases.

Change of Plans...

By Ashley Indrieri, Executive Director, Family Water Alliance

With the Fourth of July weekend now behind us, it may be time to take a look at what the Golden State has experienced in water-resource management. Many communities ban fireworks in an effort to reduce fire danger, and many people stayed closer

to home, most likely because of the $4.50 fuel prices. Many people who use California waterways as recreational facilities may have experienced their last weekend of fun, as major reservoirs in the state ask boaters to remove boats from marinas and to reduce recreational watercraft speeds because of record low-water levels.

It’s definitely a lot different this year from what we have known in the past. While there are many variables causing people to change their behavior, the drought we are experiencing is affecting everyone.

With the headlines in the Sacramento Bee last week about landowners allowing their front lawns to die due to unprecedented water cutbacks to Valley farmers, it is easy to see that we are headed for some tough times ahead.

The legislature is grappling with many ideas that may ease the water crisis, but with the political bickering, it’s a piecemeal approach to solving the problem. There are numerous bills being considered in the state senate and assembly that call for a reduction in water use in both the urban and agricultural sectors. While I agree there is something we can all do to conserve water, many water districts have voluntarily lined canals, and farmers are using water conservation methods to improve efficiency.

The majority of people in the agricultural sector are doing their best at being good stewards of the land, but will that be enough? Agricultural practices seem to be a favorite target of would-be reformers. Many people living in Southern California, or even in Sacramento, in what I call the concrete jungle, have no idea what farmers and ranchers do every day. That is why education is key to solving the problem.

Family Water Alliance has been dedicated to educating the public about issues affecting our rural communities since 1991. It is easy for me to see that many people do not understand what challenges and obstacles rural Americans deal with almost every day, and education will hopefully lessen the burden that the ag community has to bear.

Family Water Alliance is a 501(c)3 education corporation whose mission is to educate the public about issues that affect rural communities. For more information or comments please visit: www.familywateralliance.com.

OPINIONThe burning question...

By Nikki Hancock

I’ve had a question on my mind lately and I just cannot seem to come to my own conclusions about. Maybe someone out there can help me.

What makes the difference between a person being resilient, versus becoming a statistic?

Let me explain further what I mean by that.

It seems the older I get, the more I experience and see in this world I realize that life is just plain and simply not that easy. People go through hard times and it seems that nobody is exempt from pain, heartache, or unfairness. Death, loss, sickness, abuse, addiction, bad childhood experiences, broken hearts, infidelity, dishonesty, fear, loneliness, mental illness, and tragedy are all examples of what I’m talking about.

My question is: why is it that some people, when faced with adversity, rise above the status quo without even flinching? And why is it that others fade into the background and become a statistic?

Why is it, that one victim of child molestation actually becomes a molester while another resolves to become the best parent ever to live? Why is it, that one child of an alcoholic picks up that bottle right alongside mom or dad while another chooses to live their life sober?

I know two girls who were raised in similar circumstances. Not unloving homes by any means, but definitely not the most ideal situations for children. Neither of them had much physical affection and both grew up with alcoholic parents. One of the girls became extremely tough. She never needed or wanted affection from anybody and has always had a hard time opening up to people in interpersonal relationships. The other girl, from very similar circumstances, became quite the opposite as an adult. She is more co-dependent and extremely affectionate. While girl number one is very uncomfortable with affection and pushes it away, girl number two actually feels she needs it to survive and becomes overly affectionate with people?

I have noticed these differences in people so much lately and I’m completely intrigued as to what makes the difference in somebody’s head between resilience and becoming a statistic…

What makes the difference in how people react to unforeseen circumstances that happen to them or the environments they are raised in? Tell me what you think . . .

LOOkING BaCkTHE NEWS BACK THEN

COuRTESy OF THESACRAMENTO VALLEy MuSEuM

Patricia Ash, contributor

Williams Farmer 7/21/1944-IN SWITZERLAND

On Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kintana received a telegram which stated that their son, Staff-Sergeant Frankie Kintana, was place in an internment camp in Switzerland, but was O.K. and not to worry. The message coming through the Red Cross was signed by Frankie. Further details, as to his internment there were not stated but it is thought the Flying Fortress Bomber on which Frankie is a gunner went down over Bern, Switzerland. Upon receipt of the message the Kintana’s were naturally very much upset and disturbed, but after thinking it over, they are somewhat relieved that their son is in Switzerland rather than in a German Prison. He will probably remain there for the duration and will, at least know safety and comfort in the neutral country. The many friends who were concerned with this news also hope that Frankie will remain in Switzerland. Another son, Joe, with the U.S. Marines, is in combat in Saipan.

Williams Farmer 7/3/1953-REPORT SEEING FLyING SAuCER AND PILOT ON THE GROuND

John O. Black and John J. Van Allen, miners who have a claim 38 miles northeast of Oroville, were in Williams, Wednesday of this week. They tell an interesting story of seeing a flying saucer near their mining property. Mr. Black states that he came upon one which had landed on a sandy beach. The pilot, a short man about four feet 11, was returning from the creek with a pail of water, and was about 50 feet from the saucer so he had a good view of the mysterious flying object. He said it was only about 8 feet across and was shaped like two silver saucers placed together. When the pilot saw him, he rushed into the mystery and took off. There was no noise like the soaring of a plane engine, only a hissing sound and the object took off through the trees at a very rapid speed. He stated that he could see no moving parts, and how the saucer was propelled was a mystery. Mr. Van Allen stated that he had seen the flying saucer, but only in the sky, not on land. Mr. Black stated that he examined the place where the saucer was parked, also where the pilot was walking. He could not find any foot print, but where the flying mystery was stationed marks were left in the sand.

Williams Farmer 7/17/1953-HISTORICAL SOCIETy CHOOSE WILLIAMS PIONEER HOME AS MuSEuM SITE

The historical home of the late William Williams, after whom the city of Williams was named, was selected by the Colusi Historical Society for the library and museum sites, according to the advisory ballots submitted to them. The ballots were counted by the board of directors of the Society at their quarterly meeting held in Willows Saturday afternoon.A total of 192 ballots were received, coming from all parts of California and from other states including Des Moines, Iowa and New York City. Of the total vote, 95 were for the Williams House, 56 for the Regain lots in Colusa and 41 for the Terrill lots in Williams.Upon the advice of the membership, the directors voted to accept the offer of Mrs. Marguerita Williams Hotaling of the pioneer Williams home for the Society’s library and museum site.POOL NEARING COMPLETIONThe pool is filled, but for the sanitary facilities which must be complied with a sewer line, which must be finished, it could be used for swimming if there were an accredited lifeguard to take charge.There is a crying need for plumbers to finish up the necessary work. The fence is on its way and should arrive any day and there is still concrete to be poured. Therefore, local man power would be very welcome at the site.

The directors and workmen will be grateful if parents keep their children away from the site while unsupervised. Also, you are urged not to drive past the barriers, thus keeping as much as possible of the loose dirt out of the pool. The time when we can all go swimming now depends entirely on how many turn out to make what was only a dream three years ago, an actuality. Donations have fallen off but are still coming in slowly and the directors are grateful for the help and cooperation of the following: Williams Hardware, Williams Home Economics of the Grange, Standard Oil, Darolyn and Judy Marshall, Women’s Society of the Methodist Church. Total donations, $5,473.50.

SuRVIVORS TELL OF ESCAPE FROM MOST DISASTROuS FIRE IN NO. CALIF FOREST

Stanford Patton 26, son of a Forest Service Employee, confessed to the crime of starting the fire in the Mendocino National Forest which claimed the lives of fifteen firefighters last Thursday evening and resulted in one of the most tragic forest fires in history of the entire Forest Service. Patton, father of three children and son of Phillip Patton, a 30 year veteran of road and maintenance work with the Forest Service, faces a charge of murder involving all fifteen deaths and a possible felony charge under Section 6005 of the Penal Code, starting range or brush fire deliberately.

The following interview is a reprint from the Orland Register of July 13:- Stunned by the tragic fate of their fellow firefighters with whom they had broken bread so recently, and near exhaustion from the climb up the hillside to safety and shock, the nine survivors of the flames which left the rest of their party charred and lifeless, in low hesitant words, told of their escape and the horrors they witnessed. They sat red-eyed and weary in the trucks in the early hours of dawn ready to take them back to their families of the lost men at the New Tribes Mission Camp at Fouts Springs. “The whole place exploded,”Duane Stous, a husky young firefighter, explained. The whole thing lasted only a matter of minutes.Five of us went in originally and all were killed except me. “We had just brought lunches for the whole bunch and had just started eating,”Lloyd M. Mattson recalled in a slightly wavering voice. “As soon as we heard the ranger call to us we started to run. Some of us thought we should head north up the draw and the others didn’t think they could make it, so they headed east,” Matteson said the firefighters had gone down into a small canyon to put out a spot fire and had succeeded in stopping it when the wind changed suddenly and the fire roared off from the opposite canyon wall and was upon them before they knew it.“The fire was right behind me burning my britches,”Lesley Thompson said in describing how he and the others scrambled up the hill side and barely made it over the top to safety.”Fifteen seconds later and I wouldn’t have made it,” he shuddered. Thompson said the underbrush and slate made it slow going in running from the fire.Jack Toews related that he thought when Ranger Charles Lafferty called out a warning; he believed the forestry man was calling them to go to another fire. He said he started back up the hill slowly, not realizing the fire was sweeping down on them. About half way up he saw flames and “I got scared then.”William L. Baker said he, too did not realize the danger. “The ranger hollered to come up and those on the lower side headed the other way and tried to go over the top of the hill,” he added. The bodies of the latter group were found about half way up the hill, stacked like fallen logs. Across the canyon, another member of the New Tribes Mission was watching the flight of 24 men from the racing flames. He is Homer Hancock, who was in charge of a hose truck. “I saw the doomed men’s lights,” he said. “It looked as if they were being driven off their course by the flames. Suddenly there were flames behind them, then a puff of smoke. I didn’t see lights anymore. There were no shouts to be heard, from the men. The roar of flames, which often sounded like heavy rain pouring off a roof, killed all other sounds.” Hancock’s truck caught fire and the seats were damaged slightly before he got turned around and headed down the canyon. Only one truck got through the canyon for the next few hours. It was driven by State Ranger R. A. Casaurang, who drove through the flames to reach his headquarters in Elk Creek.

Williams Farmer 7/13/1961-TANKER AIDS IN FIRE CONTROL

Nick Moller of Maxwell recently aided the Maxwell Fire Dept. in controlling a grass and brush fire on the Waldo Ranch west of Maxwell. Moller took his tanker plane, which has a 300 gallon tank and water bombed the fire.

The results were both highly gratifying and spectacular. The tanker which was formerly used by the Forest Service in fire control work, helped in controlling the fire with its ease in getting the water into remote areas where ground crews and trucks can reach only after great difficulty. This was the first time that the tanker had been used in actual fire control work since Moller purchased it. He had made several practice runs, however. Approximately 100 acres in the foothills were burned over by the fire.

FIRST CONCRETE POuRED AT BOWLING CENTERWork continues to progress on the bowling alley. The first slabs of concrete were poured earlier this week at the Cross roads Bowling Center. Roy Harkcom is the owner of the establishment which will be open and ready for the start of the fall bowling season.

Williams Farmer 7/20/1961 C.G. VANN PuLLS SEVEN yEAR OLD FROM CREEK

Seymour (C.G.) Vann Jr. age 12 and a companion, Butch Hagan of Willows, also 12, are credited with the saving of a seven year old boy when the youngster suffered a leg cramp while swimming in Hat Creek. The boy, Billy Killebrew of Willows, reportedly a strong swimmer, was seized by a cramp while swimming recently in the cold mountain stream. He went over a small falls and had gone under once when the boys saw him. They jumped in and brought the drowning seven year old to safety.

Gardening with CurtisIt’s Time for Summer Garden Clean-up

With hot July temperatures comes lots of rapid plant growth. So fast in fact, that this is the month your garden is most likely to get away from you. Here are some tips to get your garden back under control. Hot temperatures bring dry plants. To water your plants successfully, use a slow flow of water over an extended period of time. For example, turning on your hose to a trickle, and leaving it overnight (or about 8-10 hours) is a great way to ensure a deep and complete saturation of the soil. Don’t

rely on lawn sprinklers alone to take care of your trees and shrubs. I suggest using soaker hoses on your special flowerbeds and planters. Try keeping one going all the time on low and keep it moving from day to day.

The more you water, the more weeds grow too. Evaluate your weed situation and come up with an appropriate plan of action to get rid of them. Depending on your garden, spot weed killers and pre-emergent herbicides may be considered. Be careful to read the instructions and follow them. I have found out the hard way: don’t double the mix because it won’t necessarily do twice as good of a job. If it gets windy, stop spraying right away, as one drift of herbicide (such as Round-Up) can kill a hundred plants. I advise spraying in the early morning or in the evening.

Remove weeds, fallen leaves and branches. Prune shrubs and roses as needed. Watch for insects trying to take over. Take care of them before they do. Try adding some new color to fine tune your garden. Pay special attention to your entry area for maximum effect. Then sit down in the shade, put your feet up, and enjoy the beauty you’ve helped create.

Tired of that old furniture? Why not sew a custom slipcover….Do you love your sofa and loveseat but have a hard time parting with it because it is comfortable? Maybe you remember how much you paid and can’t part with it for that reason, whatever the reason, we have a solution. Custom Slipcovers!

Today in California we are concerned about the fine dust that flows thru the air into our homes. Slipcovers can protect our furniture and expensive fabrics. It not only gives your room a new look when decorating, but it will also protect your furniture from wear and tear, small children, and pets. Not all Slipcovers are created equal! You may ask why you can’t run into Target or JC Penney’s to purchase a ready-made slipcover. They are relatively inexpensive, easy to obtain, etc. However, they are usually one size fits all and rarely achieve a tight fit, so you spend time fussing with the sure not fit slipcover and will hate them in no time! At Home Fashions u you will explore how to cut fabric for a slipcover with the right side of the fabric facing out (draping method), sew welt cord, use the welt cord to outline sections and then sew the slipcover from the outside with the stitch in the ditch method. Why not give your furniture a new outfit. Go for summer coolness, wash and wear, critter covers or maybe some party wear!

Here are a few preparation tips for sewing slipcovers.

1. Furniture with good bones and in decent shape

2. Cotton or Cotton Blends, Linen, Hemp, Organic Blends, work best for sewing slipcovers.

3. Are you going to wash or dry clean your slipcover?

4. If washing? You need to pre wash the fabric and pre shrink it

5. Most fabric shrinks 3 to 15 percent when washed

6. Washable welt cord, do not use cotton cording.

7. Adjustable zipper foot for your sewing machine.

8. Serger sewing machine to prevent fabric from

Dear Ms. Armstrong,

This letter is to acknowledge the services that the Citizens for a Better Williams provide to the City and convey the City’s appreciation of your continuing efforts. The Citizens for a Better Williams stepped up and took over the task of organizing the annual Pioneer Day Parade, which was previously organized by the Colusa Chamber of Commerce. This is the only citywide function held within the City and it involves extensive time and effort by the members of the group and other volunteers. The City would be unable to accommodate this event with our limited staff.

The Citizens for a Better Williams have lived up to their name by contributing to the City on a year round basis by contributing services that make the City better, but the City is unable to provide. The Citizens for a Better Williams have planted flowers and also provide ongoing maintenance of the flowers at various locations within the City that brightened up the City. You have also provided the labor and materials to paint the store fronts of vacant buildings within the Downtown Business District greatly improving the image of this area. The Citizens for a Better Williams have held a number of cleanup days that removed trash from the public rights-of-ways.

The Citizens for a Better Williams took on the task of decorating the City over the Christmas Holidays. This project brightened up the City and inspired business owners to add their own decorations during the holidays. The Citizens for a Better Williams has generated a spirit of civic pride in the City that would not exist except for their efforts.

I highly commend your efforts and welcome your contributions to the City. The City will continue to support and cooperate with your efforts and I hope you will continue your efforts in the future.

Sincerely,James P. ManningCity Administrator

The following is a letter the Citizens for a Better Williams received for their efforts to revitalize the city.

to repeat next year.This year’s weeklong day camp included the kids learning the basics of horsemanship, from learning the parts of the horse and the equipment used, to riding and equine-themed craft projects. All the kids got to ride a horse each day and there were a lot of prizes and awards. One special treat was a surprise appearance from singer ‘Adrian’ who gave a short performance for the girls and talked about her life on her

family’s ranch. The week concluded with a special family day where the kids could show off their new skills and they received certificates at an awards ceremony. “Positive reinforcement for the kids and non-stop action is important,” she said “I can’t say enough about how important it is to me to make a difference, it makes my life worth living.”Parsons is an avid volunteer in many youth organizations such as 4-H, FFA, and Girl Scouts.“It’s just what I love to do,” said Parsons.She has other programs available year round, riding lessons, pet sitting and birthday parties in the barn.To learn more about Marcy Parsons, horse camp or other services she provides, including pet sitting and riding lessons, call 530-473-3980 or visit the blog at: http://parsonsfarmsanctuary.blogspot.com

Parsons’ Horse Camp a huge successMany little girls and boys dream of horses when they are young, yet few ever get the opportunity to be around the mighty animals. But recently, Marcy Parsons of Williams, made that dream come true for 17 local girls.“I have always been involved with horses,” said Parsons “It was always my dream to work with kids and horses. I passionately believe in kids and horses and the good it does for both.”Parsons went on to explain how children develop so many important things like, confidence, a sense of responsibility and independence.“It takes a lot of guts getting way up there [on the horse],” she laughed.This summer was the first such camp that she, along with help from her mother and youth counselors, put on. She has been dreaming and planning for the day for over two years and said “I absolutely love it,” talking about her experience, which she plans

CONSEJOS PARA AHORRAR ENERGIA EN EL VERANO*En climas calurosos donde el calor del verano es la mayor preocupación, es bueno buscar por ventanas que tengan doble el vidrio para proporcionar mayor insolación, y pinturas claras que reduzcan el calor.

*Si tu aire acondicionado es viejo, considera en comprar un modelo más eficaz en el uso y ahorro de energía! Te podrías ahorrar hasta un 50% en uso de la energía que usualmente consumes cada mes. Busca por los que tengan el logo de ENERGY STAR Y que tenga etiquetas sobre cómo usar la energía eficazmente.

*Mantén en mente que la insolación y el sellar todos los escapes donde pueda escapar el aire que proviene del sistema de aire acondicionado ayudan en el rendimiento de mantener el aire fresco en tu casa u oficina o cualquier otro lugar donde lo estés utilizando.

*Siembra arboles o arbustos que le proporciones sombra a tu aire acondicionado, pero que no bloqueen la circulación de aire del mismo, coloca la unidad de aire acondicionado del lado norte de tu casa. Una unidad de aire acondicionado operando en sombra usa hasta un 10% menos de electricidad que la misma unidad operando bajo los rayos del sol.

*No coloques lámparas o televisores cerca del controlador de temperatura de tu aire acondicionado. El termostato percibe el calor que es despedido de tus aparatos eléctricos, lo que puede ocasionar que el aire acondicionado continúe encendido por más tiempo del que es necesario.

*Considera usar un ventilador junto con tu aire acondicionado de ventana esto ayuda a distribuir más eficientemente el aire en tu casa sin aumentar el consumo de energía.

*No programes tu termostato a una temperatura más fría de lo normal. Esto no ocasionara que tu casa se enfríe más rápido y al contrario puede ocasionar un enfriamiento excesivo y esto resultara en un gasto innecesario.

*Los ventiladores de casa ayudan jalando el aire caliente hacia arriba y ocasionando que sea expulsado atreves del techo. Estos son muy efectivos usándolos en la noche cuando el aire de afuera es más fresco que dentro de las casas.

*Durante la temporada en la cual usamos más los aires acondicionados, mantener las cortinas de las ventanas cerradas durante el día ayuda a prevenir el sobrecalentamiento en las casas.

EL DEPARTAMENTO DE SALUD DE COLUSA ESTA TRATANDO DE PROVEER INFORMACION DE SUS SERVICIOS A TODO EL CONDADO

A través del patrocinio del Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)el el departamento del comportamiento de la salud en el condado de Colusa ( Colusa County Department of Behavioral Health) esta llegando a sus consumidores con un periódico mensual. La publicación captura eventos recientes. Dando a aquellos que están involucrados un estimulo y reconocimiento por su participación. El periódico incluye mensajes positivos, como también un calendario de los eventos que se presentaran mensualmente.

Los resultados indican que esta revista ha sido bienvenida a los consumidores, y ha abierto las puertas de la comunicación entre los consumidores del departamento de salud

y el publico.

Un gran número de consumidores de los servicios de salud están de acuerdo en ser entrevistados para compartir sus historias en el periódico mencionado y otras publicaciones locales.

A principios de esta primavera el centro de “safe haven” fue agregado al edificio del departamento de salud de Colusa . Safe haven ofrece una bienvenida segura y confortable para los consumidores que lleguen a este lugar. Esta siendo operado con un numero de actividades estructuradas, así como proveyendo con un ambiente en el que los consumidores se sientan en un lugar seguro sin miedo y sin sentirse discriminados.

Adicionalmente se esta tratando de alcanzar a los consumidores con un programa de panfletos que estén a la vista de la mayoría de las personas. Cada panfleto contiene información del funcionamiento del departamento de salud así como donde y como recibir ayuda. En conjunción con estos panfletos el departamento de salud esta creando y agregándoles una lista fácil de leer de organizaciones tales como, iglesias y lugares que se dedican al cuidado de la salud en el condado. El panfleto que tiene vista por los dos lados esta comenzando a ser distribuido por la tienda que se dedica a reciclar mercancía IMPACT de Colusa County colocando los panfletos en las bolsas donde se coloca la mercancía de los consumidores.

matters pertaining to: legislation affecting the agricultural economics of counties, rural development programs, and environmental programs affecting agriculture. The committee is responsible for oversight of platform amendments and resolutions from other steering committees. Aside from the agricultural spectrum of things he will also be on a steering committee that deals with criminal justice and public safety systems, including: criminal justice planning, law enforcement, courts, corrections, homeland security, community crime prevention, juvenile justice and delinquency prevention, emergency management, fire prevention and control, and civil disturbances.

All members of the various committees will, over time, bring issues before the committee that are important to the counties they live in, and would like to see brought before the House and Senate for consideration for a Bill or funding under federal programs that already exist.

Marshall’s term will last as long as he actively participates and holds office as a County Supervisor and will help lend Colusa County a voice on both a State and National level.

TODAVIA USAS EL SISTEMA DE GUARDADO DE PANTALLA EN TU COMPUTADORA?Lloyd Green, Jr.

Presidente de la cámara de comercio del condado de Colusa.

Cuando comencé a escribir esta columna, nunca pensé que iba a ser tan interesante el encontrar algunos grandes artículos y consejos de cómo ahorrar energía y lo interesante en promover una vida más ecológica. Como dueño de negocio, frecuentemente dependemos de la tecnología y hemos tenido un incremento en el esfuerzo para educar a las personas en el uso eficiente de la energía en el uso de las computadoras y aparatos electrónicos.

Algo que no podemos pasar por alto en el uso eficiente de la energía de su computadora es el monitor. Claro tu ya compraste tu monitor de pantalla plana LCD Energy Star, pero todavía estas usando el guardador de pantalla en tu computadora? Si tu respuesta es si entonces apágala. En los buenos viejos tiempos los monitores de tubo. Los guardadores de monitores fueron inventados para que tu computadora no se quemara durante el tiempo que estaba inactiva.

En la actualidad las pantallas planas los monitores de LCD no se queman, así que si tu todavía tienes ese espectáculo de fotos en tu computadora de tu viaje a Cabo que sigue con la adorable foto de tu niño te estás quedando en el pasado , no importa que tengas la computadora avanzada hasta el momento.

Así que si tú no estás sentado enfrente de tu computadora entonces apágala! O puedes poner tu monitor programado a que después de tres a cinco minutos de inactividad se apague automáticamente. Esto usualmente puede ser programado en la parte de debajo de tu monitor el cual se nombra usualmente power Setting. Si estas frecuentemente lejos de tu computadora úsala únicamente como punto de venta, de transacciones y pon tus power setting solo a un minuto de inactividad.
