All the as-yet-unidentified perpetrator was able to make off with was a sizable donation jug which previously sat on the organization’s front desk. “There couldn’t have been more than 20 or 25 dollars in there,” said Dayle Reed, Food Bank manager. “When peo- ple come through here they put in a dol- lar or two. I clean it out every other month.” After Gosset Alarm Company noti- fied Ukiah Police officers, Food Bank employee Bonnie McCutcheon made her way over to the building. “I arrived at around the same time the cops did,” she said. “They had their guns out and they went through the building. I walked to the back of the parking lot and then they came back out and we did a walkthrough of the building.” After inspecting the pantry’s stocks and offices, it was determined nothing was missing except the donation jar. “No food is gone,” said Reed, point- ing toward the frozen turkeys located in the walk-in freezer. “Everything else looks fine. There wasn’t any sign of a forced entry. The emergency exit to the back door was open when they got here.” Reed said when she heard the Food MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal City technicians work to repair a downed power line on the corner of Dora Street and Observatory Avenue.

Editor’s note: The following article was received in reply to reader Kristi Van Tassel’s letter, “Remembering Anton Stadium,” which was published on a recent Reminisce page. Other readers are also invited to submit their memories of Anton, which the city Anton, I bid ye farewell! plans to rebuild. By PAUL NOKOMIS Kristi Van Tassel, I thank you for the opportunity to write about Anton Stadium because I heard about your letter in the paper and decided I had something to say about it as well. I was born in 1980 and never saw the stadium the way she did…in good condi- tion. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. Quite the contrary, that was by far the best field I ever played on and that’s a compliment because I still hop fences and go play ball, Anton being the first of course. (“If you fence it, I will hop.”) Anton had style. And while home for Festivus I went by the park and to my dismay, no grandstand.
