When asked about her education her reply was, “I have lots of college but it did not amount to anything because I was a pre-med student.” Oh, my gosh! In her mind she is now a doctor. My advice to the hospital is to check her credentials better than Marcia Wharff did or they will have a new staff member. And if they let her “blow smoke” she will be Chief of Staff. After all, “she is a fast learner.” (Her words) Caren Lopez Willits For Colfax To the Editor: As a single minority working female parent, I am supporting David Colfax for re- election to the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Colfax has proven in his voting record that he is for the working people of this county. He is a creative thinker and he does think “out of the box.” And he actually walks his talk. His concern and respect for the environment is proven in his track record, opposing off-shore oil drilling, helping with the Gualala and Albion rivers being classified as Wild and Scenic, was a major player in creating the Big River Wetlands Conservation Projects. These are just a few of the issues that Supervisor Colfax has worked on, the list could go on and on. He was the only supervisor who voted against the County’s General plan because of the housing element; for he is an advocate for low incoming housing, senior housing, farm workers housing, and “smart growth.” Supervisor Colfax has worked diligently for the county to have good health care, i.e. he helped with securing large amounts of funding for alcohol and drug counseling and education, he was involved with “Mendocino First Five Commission” which has invested in creative and inno- vative programs to meet the needs of children, he is a strong advocate for needle exchange, he was the only supervisor who was opposed against cuts in the Mental Health Dept., and he coordi- nated the board to put the GMO ordinance before the voters, and this list also could go on and on. In short, Supervisor Colfax does not just vote on the agenda items, he actually rolls up his shirt sleeves and participates in producing solutions.

New ways to Sometimes light your fire we can be pretty By JOE YONAN The Boston Globe CLUELESS Something about grilling brings out the gadget freak in even the most level-headed cooks. Maybe it's the heat from the fire, but when Dad said or the smoke in their eyes. But even those whose indoor kitchens are reasonably free of the latest gizmos seem com- he wanted a razor pelled to clutter up their backyard with all manner of equipment. for Father’s Day, that’s That said, even if you have the grill of your dreams (I can't NOT what he meant. live without my Weber Performer), some well-designed accessories can make al fresco cooking easier. Grilling tools come with an extra criterion: They have to be sturdy enough to withstand not just flames, but the kind of knockabout treatment that comes with the territory. I found six items that are not only durable and easy to use but perform their stated task with aplomb. It all starts with fire, and charcoal users should know that nothing beats a chimney starter except an even bigger chimney starter, which can save untold hours of lighting and waiting for heat replenishment. The Companion Group's Ultimate Chimney Starter, emblazoned with barbecue guru Steven Raichlen's signature, has square edges that make for easier pouring, and it proves that size matters. Fish lovers know how difficult it can be to turn a fillet without leaving part of it stuck to the grill grates. There are plenty of techniques aimed at avoiding this - oiling the fish in addition to the grill, leaving it alone until a nice sear is formed, and more. But you have to turn it at some point. LamsonSharp, the Massachusetts-based maker of fine cutlery, also manufactures fantastic spatulas for commercial as well as residential use, and its fish turner is wide and sharp enough to scrape your salmon right up and over. (Hint: Use it in the same direction as the grates.) Then there's the falling-through-to-the-fire problem, which plagues smaller items such as vegetables and hot dogs. For the former, Outset's grilling skillet has big-enough holes to let the all-important smoke in. (If you didn't have that, you might as Be smart this Father’s Day well be cooking inside, as far as I'm concerned.) & get him a new Motorola Razr .
