FIRE and SMOKE
Below, wildfire smoke rolls over Ukiah’s Western Hills from the Orr Springs Road area the evening of Saturday, June 21. Lightning strikes the day before sparked fires throughout Northern California, more than 100 of them in Mendocino County.
CDF fire crews walk down a hillside off of Greenfield Ranch Friday evening to man a controlled back burn toward the Jack Smith Fire that has been threatening ranch residents and their homes for the past week. Cal Fire issued an evacuation order for 30 homes in the Greenfield subdivision about 5:30 p.m. Friday after the Jack Smith Fire jumped a creek drainage and headed toward the homes. The evacuation order was reduced to an evacuation warning on Saturday.
Yellow tape blocks the entrance to a Mont- gomery Woods hiking area on Monday after- noon. The park was closed due to fire danger.

By SHAWN OYLER UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE
(UMS) - Starting at precisely 7:45 a.m. today, some of the last Presidential Coins minted with “In God We Trust” engraved on the edge by the U.S. Government are being handed out free to the public. Readers are getting all six of the existing coins free with each complete set of six edge engraved vault tubes they claim. So, who’s to thank for this massive giveaway effort? Well, it’s not the govern- ment. It’s the privately held World Reserve Monetary Exchange. The U.S. Government barely got started minting these Presidential coins with “In God We Trust” on the edge when federal law signed by the President required imme- diate preparation to remove “In God We Trust” from the edge. The first six Presidents that were minted in limited quantity are now out of produc- tion and there will never be any more. These were the first circulating United States coins with edge markings since the legendary St. Gaudens Double Eagle and with the new law, they are likely to be worth even more than the three dollars The Official Red Book: A Guide to United States Coins already says each coin is worth. And we’ll even give you the direct Hotline to call so you can be among the first to get yours free right now. Almost immediately after this bill became law, coins with “In God We Trust” began being snatched up by those in the know. Now these golden Presidential Dollars are harder to find than ever. “It’s a miracle we even have these coins,” said Robert Castaldo, Executive Director of the World Reserve Monetary Exchange, “it took the full power and resources of this privately held organization to secure this hoard, and now we’re handing them over to all who cover the cost of the valuable N GOING, GOING, GONE: You are looking at the last of the edge engraved “In God We Trust” Golden Presidential dollar coins ever minted because crystal-clear Vault Tubes.” the new federal law prohibits them from ever being minted again.
