Siskiyou citizen comments on CBS Sunday Morning News on State of Jefferson

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 09:58 PM PST

By Rex Cozzalio, Siskiyou County

It is greatly distressing and disappointing seeing CBS Sunday Morning's elitist policy manipulation of public perception.  The complete disconnect and sarcastic dismissal of the untenable destructive conditions forcibly imposed  upon the very people who provide you the 'sustainable' food, shelter, and comforts you so enjoy demonstrates the very reason this desperate act has become necessary.  Rather than attempt to investigate the justifications prompting a vast majority within affected areas to consider statehood, you instead relegate the issues costing the lives and homes of thousands within our region alone to an insignificant transitory 'movement' to be chuckled at over at morning coffee.  In doing so, you use Mr. Douglas Brinkley from Rice University to give a color of credibility, regurgitating the same unaffected agenda driven opinions that brought us to this point in the first place.  Virtually NONE of Mr. Brinkley's statements were either substantiated or correct, and his offensive and patronizing derogatory stereotyped label would never be tolerated or aired by your 'politically correct' media regarding ANY group of citizens other than the targeted rural residents.  As example:

-          While Geri Byrne did a fine job to the edited superficial level she saw aired, the countless examples of regulatory oppression and exposed agenda corruption justifying the 'unhappiness with regulatory decisions' were never even acknowledged as existing.  Whether from complete ignorance of the issues or a more likely condoning of the inequities, Mr. Binkley essentially rendered our devastated region as whining children.

-          The reason individuals were 'guaranteed' unalienable rights under our Constitution was the knowledge that without them any democracy will by 'majority vote' subjugate and consume a convenient minority for the unaffected benefit of that majority.  Under the current regulatory onslaught, individual rights and futures are being confiscated along with vested property and interests in an effective 'condemnation without compensation' attrition of our 'precedent setting' region.  We are one of four generations living at the same location and we, as have the majority from our region, have watched our communities and environment systematically destroyed by agenda driven boilerplate profiting 'policies' imposed from non-vested entities deaf to the history, knowledge and experience of regional residents.  Decades of cited 'public comment', documented history, and unbiased current studies and results contradicting imposed policies from affected residents  regarding the region they know better than any has resulted in ZERO effective 'public process' incorporation.

-          Mr. Brinkley's misleading statements regarding Congressional representation are ludicrous.  First of all, Constitutional primary power falls to the people and the State.  Any State having drastically disparate environmental conditions and populations will see the most populous region living one experience subjugate those other regions living another.  That majority elects 'representatives' who do NOT serve the needs or interests of those other regions.  That reality is the reason voting districts AND multiple States were conceived as a means to minimize those inherent inequities.  If such distinctly different and geographically definable regional experiences are found within the same State , the interest of any vastly outnumbered 'minority' region will be effectively 'unrepresented' both at the State and Federal levels.  Our Constitutional authors knew that, which is why THEY PROVIDED THE MEANS TO SEPARATE A STATE.  If not intended or necessary as the means to mitigate realized inequity, as Mr. Brinkley so casually states, then why is there a provision to do so!  Only for geographically defined areas having a general commonality of regional experience and distribution is an effective representation approached within the 'political process'.  Our State does NOT enjoy such a condition as it stands, but a far more equitable geographical representation is easily possible in our circumstance.  Will it likely occur in the face of a Legislative majority reticent to release its hold?  Perhaps not, but it is the only option that appears to remain short of watching the absolute disintegration of the beloved regional communities and environment we have all sacrificed so much to protect over the generations.  Mr. Brinkley's assertion that 'further division' within an unchanged population base will somehow 'weaken the nation' is equally ludicrous, especially when such a revision enhances effective representation for all regions involved.  By his rationale, we should recombine everything into the 13 original States, although with his seeming bent towards consolidated government concerns, perhaps he feels a one-world government would be even better….

-          Perhaps the greatest arrogant affront to our region was Mr. Brinkley's 'comment' that (to paraphrase) 'when you reach the core of any secessionist, you will find a (implied ignorant) person afraid of other cultures and colors'.  Nothing displays his bigotry and arrogant ignorance more than his 'opinion' of the very people condemned and of whom he obviously knows nothing.  Our region was made up of radically different races and cultures living together in a bond of common experience and background long before Mr. Brinkley could suck pabulum or ever heard of 'racial equality'.  I, as likely most in our area, am multi-racial and multi-cultural, including Native American.  Coming from a county having had the first black county Sheriff in the State of California, elected multiple times based upon the quality of his character, with blacks comprising the smallest percentage of county population, for our regional destruction to be marginalized as inherently  comprised of racists and bigots 'afraid of change' was infuriating to say the least.

While happy to at last see recognition that we even exist, it is a shame that the 'mega-city majority' imposed attrition of our effectively unrepresented rural communities, regional resources, and wisdom which support our nation are dismissed as an amusing anecdote.

Another grievance in CA: L.A. and more taxes

Griffith   Park: Another City Hall Inspired Raid on DWP's Ratepayers –Taxed Via Rates

by Stephen Frank on 11/06/2013 

Should those that pay for water and power in Los Angeles have added to   their bills a subsidy of Griffith Park—a recreational facility in LA.    In fact the city is taking money meant for repairing or expanding the water   and power and financing other parts of the government.  Then the   Department has to go back and raise rates since they do not have enough money   to pay for their main job.

This is how government raises taxes without a vote—they steal money, then   raise rates—in this case it is really a tax.

"Under the current system, the Department of Recreation and Parks receives   a discount of more than 50% on its water rates compared to homeowners,   renters, landlords, and business establishments.  Furthermore, unlike   the rest of us, Recreation and Parks is not charged for higher rates once its   usage surpasses predetermined levels. These "tiered" rates are designed to   encourage conservation.

Based on some rough assumptions on the amount of water used by Recreation   and Parks and the amount of the discount, the "savings" are in the range of   $10 to $15 million.  Of course, the Ratepayers are once again stuck with   the bill."

Vast Majority of "Jobs" Created in California Last Month Were Part Time

by Stephen Frank on 11/06/2013 

Read this article carefully.  Note it talks about jobs being created in California—but what type of jobs?  "By far, the service sector added the most jobs last month – some 17,300, says ADP. The "goods producing" sector tacked on a net increase of only 1,770 jobs."

The term "service industry" is for restaurant employees, car wash workers, and other such places of work.  These are mostly part time, low pay/no benefit jobs.  Thanks to ObamaCare and the rest of the Obama economic polices, 70% of jobs created in the United States are part time.

California is in a Depression.  We have a debt/deficit of $132 billion, our real unemployment is over 14%.  Our taxes are high and regulations killing whole industries.  The "creation" of 19,000 new jobs in a month is not good news, it is a reminder that elections have consequences—this is the Obama/Brown Depression.

Fire Serves As Reminder For Home Heating Safety

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 10:53 PM PST

With the weather starting to get colder people are doing whatever it takes to stay warm.

An attic fire in Ashland, Saturday, is believed to have been caused by a stove pipe not properly maintained, serves as a reminder to use caution when firing up those chimneys, heaters, and wood stoves.

"Every year this time of year any time you have homes that have wood stoves or their burning wood products, they create a bi-product called creosote and that creosote builds up," said Dana Sallee of Ashland Fire.

"It is probably one of the most difficult fires to put out because of access its beneath the ceiling and bellow the roof and those are hard places for us to get there."

To try and prevent fires like that from happening he says keep wood stove's maintained by cleaning out the piping at least once a year and make sure you are using the right materials.

"A lot of wood thats green. That's not really dry thats another reason why you can get a lot of build up in the flu, it can damage the flu. If it catches on fire it can crack the brick and that allows fire to get into the attic space."

Another alternative to keeping your house warm could come from space heaters, such as oil radiating heaters or infrared heaters.

Katy Ratliff from Home Depot said, "the oil will heat up so it continually radiates it doesnt kick on and off creating the energy to be used a little bit more."

But no matter what it is that you'll be using this  season, Sallee says be aware of your surroundings.

As America begin to prepare for one of the biggest days to remember and honor those who have fought in wars, a local organization says they want younger veterans to join in their community.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars or V.F.W. is a support and service center for men and women back from duty.

They say they don't see too many young veterans and hope that changes.

One veteran said wants veterans to know the VFW is there to be a second family to them. He says its all about working together as a community.

Etna football finishes 2nd in SCL with win over Weed

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 10:57 PM PST

Article by Jimmy Hausauer, photos by Mallory Pappas

The Weed Cougars lost a heart breaker at home against the Etna Lions, on Friday night, 27-26. The game was a back and forth affair, with Weed taking an early lead, only to see the Lions battle back to win it. The Lion victory earned them 2nd place in the Shasta Cascade League at 3-1. Weed finished 3rd at 2-2. Etna (8-2) received the 5-seed for the NSCIF D-IV playoffs and will travel to 4-seed Chester (8-2) next Friday. Weed (6-4) is the 7-seed and will go to 2-seed Biggs (9-1).

Weed’s first offensive play was a screen to Edgar Casorla who gained only one yard before being brought down. The second play for the Cougars was a big 37-yard ramble by Carlos Sanchez, who drove down to the Etna 33 yard line. Aidan Hagarty, the Cougar QB, went deep and found Rashaan Broomfield for a touchdown. Sanchez added the PAT and Weed went out to an early 7-0 lead.

After recovering a fumble on the Weed 30-yard-line in the second quarter, the Lions went to work starting with Finley running for 26 yards to the 4-yard-line. The Cougar defense hammered down on the Lions next run, dropping the back for a yard loss. However, Hausauer carried the ball on the next play and found pay-dirt from five yards out, getting Etna on the board. The PAT was no good, leaving the Cougars ahead, 7-6.

The Lions began their next possession on their own 33. Hausauer got the carry on the first play and went 10 yards. The next play was Hansen who went 17 yards on the outside. A holding call brought Etna back 10, but that wasn’t slowing the Lions down. Finley did some hard running for 12 yards making it 2nd and 8 for the Lions. A false start pushed Etna back five yards. A screen to Hansen went for 26 yards with some quick moves and good down field blocking. Hansen got the call again and earned six off the edge putting Etna on the Weed 23. The Cougar defense locked down the off-tackle and stopped the Lions next run at the line. A hard 17-yard-run by Beltran brought the Lions down to the 4-yard-line. Hausauer got the call and worked into the end zone once more, giving the Lions a 12-6 lead. Etna went for the 2-point conversion, but Broomfield picked off the pass.

The Cougars next drive started on the 50, after a bad kick by the Lions. Shaffer rushed for five yards on the first carry, Hagarty scrambled for four yards, and Broomfield rushed for five. Lions J.T. Murray and Kaae took down Shaffer for a loss of three yards on the following play. The 5th play of the drive was another scramble by Hagarty for two yards. A 3rd and 11 called for another drop back by Hagarty who threw to Casorla, but Hansen put a stop to that play leaving the Cougars with a 4th down. Weed had a trick up their sleeve though, as they came out in punt formation. Broomfield was lined up to kick but dropped back to throw, and found Hagarty for a first down. The following play was a screen to Broomfield who took it 37 yards to the 3-yard-line. The Cougars’ offense was looking to score, as Hagarty dropped back to pass. With pressure coming, Hagarty found Sanchez in the end zone for a touchdown. The PAT was blocked, but Weed had the lead 13-12, going into the intermission.

On their first possession of the second half, the Lions set-up on the Weed 35, following a short punt. Hausauer, Beltran, and Brad Scoville helped Etna to a first down at the Weed 9-yard-line. Hausauer took it 4 yards, then Hansen finished the drive with a dive into the end zone for a Lion touchdown. The Lions did a direct snap to Finley who took it in for a 2-point conversion, giving Etna the advantage, 20-13.

The Cougars went 3-and-out on the next drive due to the Lions’ pass rush and Kaae who recorded two tackles for a loss. The Cougars punted to Nadig who returned it to Weed’s 15, but the ball was fumbled and the Cougars recovered. On two plays Broomfield rushed for 85 yards down to the Lion 5-yard-line. Hagarty kept it on the outside and stretched across the goal line for the score. The PAT was good, tying the contest, 20-20.

Nadig, who was looking for redemption, took the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for an Etna touchdown. Finley added the PAT, putting the Lions back on top, 27-20, at the end of the third quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Etna punt returner was Scoville who took the punt for 60 yards. However, the play was called back on a penalty and the Lions set-up on their 46. Combined running by Finley and Hausauer moved the Lions down to the 5-yard-line. Due to a tough goal line stand by the Cougars, the Lions found no success on the drive, as they were shutdown the next four plays.

Weed’s offense took over on the 4-yard-line, Broomfield rushed for five and Casrola rushed for 12. On 1st down, Hagarty dropped back and fired down field but the pass fell incomplete. Another screen for no gain, and another sack for the Lions defense caused the Cougars to punt.

Etna also was forced to punt on its next drive, as the Cougars defense kept the Lions from gaining any big yards.

Following the Lion punt, Weed started on their own 33, where Broomfield racked up 37 yards rushing and receiving on six plays. With close to a minute left in the game, the next three Weed plays were an incomplete pass, a running back dropped by Kaae at the line, and a pass deflected by Beltran. On 4th and 10 Hagarty tossed a 36-yard TD strike to Broomfield, bringing the Cougars to within a point, 27-26. The Cougars attempted a gutsy 2-point conversion for the win, but the Lions defense wasn’t going to have it. Broomfield was immediately wrapped up by Scoville and Austin Winklehausen, leaving Etna with the 27-26 lead.

Weed attempted an onside kick, but the ball had a bad spin and rolled backwards and out of bounds securing the win for the Lions.

Final Shasta Cascade League standings

Fall River 4-0 (7-3)
Etna 3-1 (8-2)
Weed 3-1 (6-4)
Modoc 1-3 (3-7)
Burney 0-4 (0-10)

Miners varsity football and cheerleading against Lassen

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 07:44 PM PST

Even with a season-ending injury to star quarterback and all-section safety Kaden Culp during a scrimmage, the Yreka Miners still started the 2013 season strong. The Miners went 4-1 in preseason, and won their first Northern Athletic League contest against Anderson. Among the preseason wins were a 49-27 blowout over Skyline League co-champion Klamath Union, and a 42-30 win over Sacramento Valley League co-champ Trinity.

Although he finished the game, Yreka lost quarterback and safety Ty Currie to a broken thumb against Anderson. In six games, Currie had thrown for 522 yards and nine touchdowns. He had also run for 481 yards and six TDs.

Soon after losing Currie, Yreka lost wide receiver, defensive back, punter and kick returner Michael Schuler to shoulder surgery. Schuler had accounted for 580 total yards and five TDs.

Add in some additional injuries, and the undermanned Miners had a tall task ahead of them going into Friday’s game against Lassen (5-5).

Lassen scored on its first four possessions to lead 28-0 at the half. The Grizzlies scored on their first possession of the second half, for a 35-0 lead–the eventual final score.

Yreka was able to move the ball a bit early in the game, reaching the red zone a couple of times, but was hurt by penalties and miscues.

The Miners finished the regular season 1-4 in the NAL, and 5-5 overall. Yreka is the 8-seed in the NSCIF D-II playoffs and will travel to Cottonwood next Friday to play number-1 West Valley (5-0, 9-1). West Valley’s only loss was to undefeated D-I Enterprise, 28-3.

Final Northern Athletic League standings

West Valley 5-0 (9-1)
Central Valley 4-1 (7-3)
Corning 3-2, (7-3)
Lassen 2-3 (5-5)
Yreka 1-4 (5-5)
Anderson 0-5 (1-9)

Tigers advance to semi-finals, lead North sweep of the South

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 01:07 PM PST


Photos by Chelsea Helms

The Dunsmuir Tigers led the way, as the North 8-man football teams demolished the South teams in the 1st round of the NSCIF 8-man playoffs. Top-seeded Dunsmuir shutout the South’s 4-seed 48-0 on Friday night. It was far from being that close of a game. Dunsmuir led 40-0 at the half. In other 8-man playoff games, (N2) Redding Christian crushed (S3) Loyalton 52-0. (N3) Butte Valley defeated (S2) Greenville 59-42. The North’s number-four team, Big Valley, dominated the South’s best team, Princeton, 66-38. The North Section’s 5th best 8-man team, Hayfork, has moved on to preparing for basketball due to a system that rewards mediocrity rather than accomplishment (Yep, that’s opinion, but look at the results of RD-1 for verification).

Tiger Dayton Pepperdine threw for 95 yards and a TD against Mercy. He also ran for 90 yards and a TD. Chase Sordahl led Dunsmuir in rushing with 95 yards and three TDs on eight carries, as well as hauling in a TD pass. CJ Palmer went for 79 yards and scored a TD.

Palmer led the Tigers defense with 12 total tackles, 11 of which were solo. Randy Hix had 9 total tackles, and Joey Campbell had 8. Hix and Campbell each had 1.5 sacks, and Trent Johnson had a sack. Palmer had an interception, and Hix recovered a fumble.

Dunsmuir (11-0) hosts Butte Valley (8-2) in a semi-final game on Friday at 6:00 pm. The winner will face the winner of Redding Christian versus Big Valley for the championship.

WEATHER DISCUSSION

A dense fog advisory is in place for Jackson, Josephine, Douglas & Eastern Curry Counties through 10am. Widespread and dense fog this morning will eventually burn off and partly sunny to mostly sunny conditions are expected by late afternoon across all locations.

A cold front sitting just off to our West is going to push eastward this evening. This will bring rain showers to the Coast around midnight, and isolated showers across inland areas through the morning. By the afternoon, skies should clear some and showers will have wrapped up.

Following this system, a high pressure ridge will build in for the middle of the week and bring dry weather through Friday. Morning fog and low lying clouds are anticipated through this time, with clearing skies into midday.

More Renovations for Downtown Ashland

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 07:30 PM PST

11-10 jbo ashlandASHLAND, Ore. – The city of Ashland is looking to renovate its downtown yet again.

On December 17th, the city council will hear proposals for how to spend a $128,000 fund generated from hotel taxes.

The changes will include all of downtown, not just the plaza, and will be mostly aesthetic. Councilors say it won’t cost residents a dime, but there are some voicing concern.

About 500 people have signed a petition to change the color of the bricks in the plaza from the current grey to a color they say would be a bit more pleasing.

"The original plan that was given to us, the council, showed salmon colored pavers, not charcoal grey," said City Councilor Carol Voisin. "So that’s what I thought was going to be there."

Replacing the plaza bricks would cost around $20,000 out of $128,000 fund.

The council will hear proposals for renovations on December 17th.

The Show Must Go On for Local Musician

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 07:23 PM PST

video preview image

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – A local blues musician gets the opportunity of a lifetime – to compete in an international music competition in Memphis, the blues capital of the world. But that dream was dealt a blow when he discovered that all his instruments and equipment had been stolen.

Grants Pass resident Phil Newton and his band partner David Pinsky competed as a duo at the Eugene Blues Society for the chance to make the trip.

The two normally perform in separate bands. Learning how to play together, and as a two-piece unit, was no small challenge.

"He and I simply honed our act as a duo and worked on that for about a year to get the parts to fit right," said Newton.

But after winning the prize this fall, the unthinkable happened. The two were performing a gig at a Selma bar. When Newton pulled up to the bar he went to get his gear from his truck, but discovered it empty.

"We were doing the fundraiser to go to Memphis… I turned around to get my harmonicas and they were gone, along with the mics and everything else," said Newton.

Newton says he isn’t concerned about the money – the equipment is insured after all. But some of it is one-of-a-kind.

"Some of the equipment that was stolen I can’t… I can’t replace," said Newton. "It’s one of a kind of stuff, and has huge sentimental value as well."

But not sentimental enough to stop him.

Newton has played and admired the blues ever since he was a kid. Whether borrowed or backup, he says he’ll find what he needs to compete.

"I bought the tickets today," said Newton. "We’re on our way, the hotel rooms are reserved!"

The Memphis International Blues Challenge kicks off in January.

Until then you can catch Phil Newton and his band, Broadway Phil & the Shouters, playing gigs all over the valley to raise money for the competition.

WEATHER DISCUSSION

Tonight will be very similar to last night with areas of fog and low clouds developing by morning with patchy freezing fog. Fog will linger the longest in the Illinois Valley tomorrow not burning off until the afternoon with most other valley locations seeing clearing my mid to late morning. A cold front will approach the coast Monday night bringing rain overnight Monday into Tuesday morning, mainly at the coast with a few showers inland. Most of the rain will fall during this time period with only isolated showers through the day Tuesday.

Fog will persist through the extended with increasing afternoon sunshine Wednesday and Thursday. A long wave trough will move in next weekend which is a set up that allows disturbances to slide in and bring unsettled weather to the region. Our first chance for rain arrives Saturday with the heaviest rain falling at the coast.

Flea Market Re-Opens After Gov. Shutdown

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 06:27 PM PST

flea market

MEDFORD, Ore. — The government shutdown is over, but it is still affecting some businesses a month later.

The Medford Flea Market uses the armory once a month to host their market.  However because of the shutdown last month, the Oregon National Guard needed the space for their monthly training, and this left the Medford Flea Market homeless.

This month they are back up and running as usual, but both the vendors and the market owners said the cancellation cost them money.

The flea market has been around for more than 40 years and has only closed two other times before, once due to a flood, and once due to a wild fire.

The owners of the flea market had to call each vendor individually and tell them about the cancelation.

They also spent money on advertisements to inform the public about the cancellation.  Overall, they said the closure cost them money.

"I can take a wild shot and say we were out a couple thousand, which not having to pay what we pay a day here for the armory — it helped and hurt at the same time," said Medford Flea Market owner, Dennis Nelson.

The flea market pays the National Guard Armory $1,200 a day to rent out the space so they said they did save that money that way, but by the time they rent out tables to vendors and charge and entry fee they make a profit, a profit they lost out on last month.

Typhoon Haiyan Devastates Philippines

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 11:38 AM PST

typhoonBy Andrew Stevens

TACLOBAN, Philippines (CNN) — As Vietnam braced for the arrival of a weakened but still powerful Typhoon Haiyan, Filipinos grappled with devastation on a scale they have never seen before.

No electricity. No food. No water. Houses and buildings leveled. Bodies scattered on the streets. Hospitals overrun with patients. Medical supplies running out…and a death toll that could soar.

The Philippine Red Cross estimated at least 1,200 people were killed by Haiyan, but that number could change as officials make their way to remote, nearly inaccessible places pummeled by the storm.

The town of Tacloban, in Leyte province, is a city on edge. It was one of the hardest-hit places. Tacloban’s mayor said 10,000 people may have died.

“People here were convinced that it looked like a tsunami,” Alfred Romualdez told CNN.

“I have not spoken to anyone who has not lost someone, a relative close to them. We are looking for as many as we can,” he said.

This special beef is not found in your grocery store

Jenner Family Beef Etna California Mail Order Meat
Find out more about Jenner Family Beef:

http://www.jennerfamilybeef.com/our-beef.html
No Added Hormones | No Added Antibiotics | Corn-Free Vegetarian Diet
USDA inspected | Source Verified | Locally Pasture Raised
Jenner Family Beef offers a unique quality of beef for the quality-seeking consumer.

This beef is not found in your grocery store because it requires extra handling and time to produce a product of this standard. The quality of feed impacts the quality of the beef; our cows, Angus-cross bred, never leave the ranch where they are born but are raised on pasture grass -- much of which is native grass -- in the spring, summer and fall. In winter, when temperatures drop into the teens or lower, we feed our own grass-alfalfa hay. Finally, we keep our animals for a longer period of time, which increases the flavor of the final product.

If you haven't visited our website yet, check out our WINTER SPECIAL! It includes 1 chuck roast, 1 london broil, 1 sirloin tip, 2 pkgs of short ribs, and 2 pkgs of shanks (great for Ossobuco!)
