In the 1st District supervisor race, incumbent Michael Delbar was able to tighten the gap between him and his challenger Carre Brown slightly by garnering 3,020 votes (39.55 percent) to her 4,582 votes (60.01 percent.) On Election Night, Brown held a commanding lead over Delbar with 2,710 votes (60.26 percent) to his 1,772 votes (39.4 percent.) In the 2nd District supervisor race, Ukiah City Councilmember John McCowen was able to increase his lead by nearly a point over challenger Estelle Palley Clifton with 3,335 votes (53.69 percent) to her 2,858 votes (46.01 percent.) On Election Night, Clifton was trailing McCowen with 1,632 votes (46.82 percent) to his 1,846 votes (52.95 percent.) In the race for Ukiah Valley Sanitation District, Michael Pallesen (1,952 votes, 20.46 percent,) Clifford Paulin (1,468 votes, 15.38 percent,) Theresa McNerlin (1,644 votes, 17.23 percent,) James-John Ronco (1,352 votes, 14.17 percent) and Jason Hooper (1,265 votes, 13.26 percent) will represent the first elected board in organization’s history. David Malarich (1,215 votes, 12.73 percent) announced his withdrawal from the race several days prior to Nov. 4, but his name appeared on the ballots anyway. Challenger Jimmy Rickel also garnered 602 votes for 6.31 percent, but not enough for a spot on the five-member board. Sarah Baldik/The Daily Journal Barry Friedman, vice president of Friedman’s Home Improvement left, and Plowshares executive director Mary Buckley unload 10 turkeys Friedman’s donated to Plowshares, Thursday morning for their Thanksgiving Dinner. Friedman‘s donated 20 turkeys to the Ukiah Senior Center and gave a turkey to each of their staff for the holiday. On Nov. 5, the day after the election, Ranochak announced that 16,149 absentee and 721 provisional ballots had yet to be counted in the initial election results. A similar situation occurred in the June 4 primary election, when the Elections Office announced the following day that 10,835 absentee and 439 provisional ballots had yet to be counted and were not part of the unofficial results released on election night. When the final tallies were announced 15 days later, none of the results in any of those races had changed. Reasons to be thankful By RICHARD ROSIER The Daily Journal People in the community will have a reason to give thanks this Thursday as Plowshares and the Ukiah Senior Center offer Thanksgiving feasts. Two meals will be served at the Senior Center, one at 11 a.m. and another at 1 p.m. for a $6 fee. According to Lavonna Silveria, executive director of the Senior Center, the 1 p.m. meal is completely booked, but there is room during the 11 a.m. meal. “Different people are focusing on different groups,” said Silveria, “and our focus is on seniors and their families and extended families. This is our fourth year of doing this, and we try to let people know what it happening in the community so if we happen to get people who don’t have any money who come here we give them a flyer and tell them what else is happening and where they can go in case they don’t know. . .” The meal at the Senior Center is made possible by the contributions from various organizations in the community. “Savings Bank, Friedman’s and Denny’s are really helping us,” Silveria said. “Savings Bank is giving us money for food, which is covering most of the food cost, and Denny’s is giving us pies and Friedman’s is giving us turkeys.” Routine patrol ends in meth, pot bust in Hopland The Daily Journal placing marijuana into small bags for apparent sales. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Mendocino </li><li style="flex:1">County </li></ul>Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Spears was patrolling the Hopland area in the area of A further search revealed that Simon was in possession of a controlled substance, approximately one gram of methamphetamine, along with concentrated cannabis.

Deputy Spears then made contact with the driver of the vehicle and asked what he was doing at location when he smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle, according to a release issued Monday. Due to the tough financial times, the Senior Center will be using this dinner as a small fundraiser. “In the past we’ve basically broke even or lost money doing this,” Silveria said. “Now at least with having some of the food cost covered we’re able to make a little bit of money. . .” <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Further </li><li style="flex:1">investigation </li></ul>revealed that the subject Robert Simon, 61, of Willits, was processing marijuana and Elk man arrested on suspiciaon of domestic battery, other charges Plowshares will be serving up two Thanksgiving meals this Thursday as well, free to the public.

As part of his extended family, Forrest leaves behind his stepchildren, Keith Thornton, (Angie), Bonnie Dashiell, (Rodney), and Mark Thornton, (Julie) and 7 step-grandchildren. In 1970, looking for a place to retire, Forrest and Veta found their dream of owning a ranch in Potter Valley. In 1979, having retired from Daniel passed away at his home on Sunday, NEW YORK (AP) -- Cash or credit? For more Americans, who have already maxed out their credit cards or are just trying to manage their spending better in the tough economy, the answer is increasingly the old-fashioned one. Retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and J.C. Penney Co. are noticing a marked shift away from credit cards in favor of cash and debit cards. A big factor is less credit available as major card issuers cut spending limits and raise fees even for customers who pay their bills on time. The shift ends Americans’ long love affair with credit cards and is one of the changes in consumer behavior that has emerged since the financial meltdown that could depress consumer spending this holiday season and affect shoppers’ habits long afterward. Particularly during holiday seasons past, shoppers could count on a pile of plastic to give them the extra financing needed to splurge on presents before they had to face the bills in January or later. But even when the economy recovers and credit loosens up, analysts say Americans -- shaped by what could be a deep and long-lasting recession -- are likely to stick with buying only what they can afford just as their parents or grandparents did after the Great Depression.

Drawing from its huge fan base of teenage girls, who fell for Stephenie Meyer’s novel of forbidden love between brooding vampire Edward Cullen and bookish high schooler Bella Swan, “Twilight” made a whopping $20,636 per theater, according to Sunday morning estimates. And the fangirls will get another taste soon enough: Summit Entertainment, which released “Twilight,” announced during the weekend that it’s going ahead with production of “New Moon,” based on the second book in Meyer’s internationally best-selling series. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will return as its star-crossed lovers, but whether Hardwicke will be at the helm again is still being determined.
