THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL REGION SUNDAY, NOV. 30, 2008 – A-11 Ski resort openings delayed

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A storm dropped a few inches of snow around Lake Tahoe, but it was not enough to allow skiers and snowboarders to hit the slopes in full force yet. Like most Sierra resorts, Kirkwood had hoped to open by Thanksgiving. But even an opening this weekend appeared doubtful after Wednesday’s scant snowfall, Kirkwood spokesman Daniel Pistoresi said. “It would take a pretty miraculous change for that to happen,” Pistoresi told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “Now, we’ve got to play catch-up a little. The target is as soon as possible.” At Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, where the resort’s bunny run has been open since Nov. 13, operators are waiting for Mother Nature to deliver enough snow for full opera- tions. “We always shoot for Thanksgiving if we can get it. Historically, it can go either way,” resort spokesman Mike Pierce said, adding the past three seasons failed to pro- duce conditions to allow for such an early start. Resort operators prefer to open by Thanksgiving to gear up for the all-important peak Christmas holiday skiing period. Bob Roberts, executive director of the California Ski Industry Association, said Sierra resorts were fully open only 21 percent of the time on Thanksgiving in the past decade, 39 percent not at all and 40 percent partially. Alpine Meadows, which had initially planned to open the day before Thanksgiving, now is shooting for a tentative opening date of Dec. 6. Family and animal rights groups find home for calf

By SUE MAJOR HOLMES Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Logan the calf left central New Mexico on Friday, bound for Texas in a borrowed trailer to live out his days on a 1,300- acre animal sanctuary. The trip culminates an effort that began in July to keep the rapidly growing ani- mal out of a slaughterhouse. Logan — named after the community near where he was born — was orphaned soon after birth in May. Rancher Lonnie Gallegos, 75, who has macular generation, and a 72- year-old friend recovering from knee surgery moved the little red calf to a shed on Gallegos’ property to protect him from coyotes. There, they bottle-fed him. But it was obvious the calf needed room to grow. Gallegos’ daughter, Leona Gallegos of Albuquerque, recalls taking Logan, then about a week and a half old, for walks while visiting her father. The first was wonderful, she said. “He was interested in everything, and very accom- modating. The second day on the walk, forget it. He did not want to return home,” she said. “He wanted his freedom. He wanted to walk and he wanted to explore everything. I don’t care if it was an ant. He wanted to get down and smell thought about using a trailer. large.
