Though the fire season has not officially started, CalFire is making the necessary preparations based on statewide conditions including hiring seasonal firefighters, increasing emergency dispatch levels and staffing facilities 24 hours a day. A burn ban may be nut into place as early as July 1. CalFire has been opening its seasonal fire stations since last month and today, all 10 are open and ready. CalFire is also encouraging homeowners to take precautions as the weather becomes increasingly hot and dry and much of the dry grass on the hills becomes a fire hazard. Mendocino Unit Chief Marc Romero said homeowners should remember to clear 100-feet of defensible space around their homes to reduce risk to the buildings in the case of a wildfire.

Growers with less than 25 plants aren’t polluting our environment, hiring slews of trimmers from LA or guarding their patches with guns. They aren’t making a fortune, either. (Try growing 10 plants and making enough money to support your family, buy a new truck and fly to Mexico for the winter. ) In short, Measure B targets the wrong guys! (Last month, our Board of Supervisors restricted growers to 25 plants per plot, rather than per individual, rectifying one of the primary over- sights of Measure G.) By encouraging law enforcement to per- secute anyone with more than six plants, we will make criminals out of our friends and neighbors -- out of law-abiding citizens with families and jobs. Not only am I opposed to putting people with seven pot plants behind bars, I am also concerned that Measure B will have a deleterious effect on our economy. Like it or not (and I don’t like it), marijuana cultivation has become a large part of our economy. This means we need to Lifestyles 2008-2009 address the issue slowly -- first targeting massive grows that Lifestyles breed violence and environmental degradation -- or we will 2004-20052004-2005 jeopardize local businesses and professionals.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Why B is bad for Mendocino: The handwriting is already on the wall, here folks. The uncivil war of prohibition is rearing its ugly head again. This is the same issue, states rights vs. federal dogma. Generally speaking, only the special interest groups that seek to overturn M.C.C. 9.36 have the myopia to suggest that the law enforcement officers will concentrate their energies and taxpayer money on the big time growers. To allow local deputies to use their “discretion” in the manner that they will enforce the law will prove to be disastrous. They have already proven that they will lie, cheat, and steal to falsely persuade prohibitionist judges to sign illegal warrants. This is called the “color of law”. This is a violation of our basic human and civil rights. Unfortunately this has been going on for some time now, and is the current policy even if it isn’t codified. Sooner rather than later this explosive issue is about become the nightmare that the Yes on B propagandists have contrived. It is up to the people of this wonderful county to realize that having your or my neighbor arrested for cultivation of cannabis is unethical. It is becoming obvious to many of us “in the know” that Please Remember to Vote on Tuesday!! this Measure is only a decoy for an even greater disaster. If the Measure does pass, and for some strange reason First District Candidate: Ukiah S. Morrison isn’t thrown out on the constitutionality matter, then the illegal grows will actually increase.

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the letters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
