25 years ago Thursday, Aug. 12, 1982 Ukiah Daily Journal COUNTY BUDGET JUST WON’T BALANCE. County supervisors failed last night in a marathon attempt to balance their budget, losing ground on a $1 million shortfall during debate that lasted until 2:15 this morning. Assistant Auditor Dennis Huey gave boardmembers the bad news. As their second review of specific department budgets concluded, they turned to Huey for a total. “I’m sure we’re farther out than when we started,” he said. Despite earlier commitments to “stay until we’re done,” Board Chair Norman de Vall closed the session. While supervisors began the evening facing a deficit of roughly $1 million, the shortfall was only on paper. As happened during similar hearings last year, County Administrator Al Beltrami and Auditor Merydel Peterson had come up with savings, new revenues and adjustments worth roughly $1.4 million, more than enough to balance. But the last-minute finagling was offset by a hard-line stance by the Mendocino County Employees Association (MCEA) during contract negotiations concluded yesterday. According to County Counsel John Drummond, the MCEA refused to back down from a 10 percent salary increase guaranteed in the final year of a three-year contract. They gave up three percent in retirement subsidies, however. The MCEA also rejected a proposed 36-hour week. Beltrami had accounted for the 10 percent pay hike in his budget calculations, but had banked on the shorter workweek. The negotiation results threw the bottom line off by an estimated $1.5 million.

*** BLAZING HAY LOAD SET GRASS FIRE ALONG HIWAY 101. A blazing truck load of baled hay set a grass fire ELUSIVE IMAGES PHOTO CONTEST a mile long south of Burke hill late Sunday afternoon which called out the Ukiah and Talmage fire departments and the Division of Forestry before the conflagration was brought under control, after a 2-hour fight. The Peterbilt truck and trailer belonging to the Passalaqua Trucking Company of Santa Rosa was scattering sparks from the burning load while James Morris, the driver was wholly unaware of the havoc he was causing. The hay was set afire at the rear of the truck, evidently by a spark from the diesel exhaust, says Fire Chief Al Bechtol of Ukiah, and the rig might have rolled another mile or so without the driver becoming aware of the fire had not a member of the highway patrol come along. Ukiah Fire Department sent four pieces of equipment, the Division of Forestry sent four trucks and a bulldozer and the Talmage Fire Department sent one truck. Two hours were put in by the Ukiah men, fighting the blaze and running to the nearest water hydrant for a refill. The highway was blocked for a considerable time. Although the load of hay, estimated at about 15 tons, was lost, the truck and trailer was not badly damaged. *** MINISTER MISSES BOAT TO GREECE IN TV CONTEST. Rev.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING gets read. gets remembered. gets results!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: Newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Each year, teachers spend an average of $475 of their own money on classroom materials and supplies, according to a report, “Teacher buying behavior 2006-2007”, from Quality Education Data, Inc. “Tighter budgets mean teachers are spending more of their own money to keep their classrooms stocked,” said Shira Goodman, executive vice president of marketing for Staples. “In an effort to make starting the new school year easy for teachers, Staples stores are kicking off the back-to-school sea- son with a Teacher Appreciation Day and giving educators tools to keep them organized. Staples is pleased to dedicate a day solely for educators, and it’s our way of letting them know how much they are valued.” The first 200 teachers visiting Staples Stores on Teacher Appreciation Day, Saturday August 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Kristin Vinyard and Anthony Villareal will receive a Staples polybinder that will include a legal pad, paper clips, highlighters, and index flags, among other back-to- Villareal-Vinyard school accessories and discount coupons.
