A RED FLAG WARNING has been issued for much of the region for late Saturday night through Monday morning. Strong easterly winds and very low humidity will create conditions favorable for rapid wildfire spread in areas where fuels are receptive. The strongest winds and lowest humidity are expected to occur along primarily high terrain and ridgelines; however, mountain waves may drive winds into a few scattered valleys and even down to some coastal areas as well.

POSSIBLE PREEMPTIVE POWER OUTAGES

In an announcement issued shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday, PG&E warned it may shut down power in the most dangerous areas over the next 24 hours, citing high winds expected Sunday evening and lasting into Monday morning.

MENDOLAND'S OLDEST MYSTERY

Mendoland's Oldest Mystery

Fifty years ago, there were ongoing clashes between rebellious longhaired youth and law enforcement. In Mendocino County, it would play out in peculiar fashion, resulting in Mendocino County's oldest homicide cold case.

In May 1967, a scrawny jailbird hippie was arrested in Leggett while trying to seduce a 14 year old girl. After serving a short sentence, he left the county with the encouragement of law enforcement.

In early Summer 1968, five young hippie women and an infant arrived in the Anderson Valley area of Navarro in a repurposed school bus. As some of the first hippies in the neighborhood, they made quite a splash in the conservative community, being quickly dubbed the Witches of Mendocino. Although the bus and women were malodorous, they carved out their own social niche in the Philo community. As young women in their twenties with access to drugs, they held a certain allure for slightly younger male teens of the neighborhood while rejecting advances by older local men. On June 22nd, one of the women dosed a 17 year old boy with LSD-25. When he freaked out on his acid trip, his mother called for the cops. Deputies and CHP troopers responded, arrested all five women, and turned the baby over to Children's Protective Services.

The five women were convicted of drug charges and served 63 days in the County Jail, being released on August 16th. One of them violated parole, and may have been rearrested later. Also, one arrestee had confused matters by trying to pass her baby off as another one's child. They would have had to return to Mendocino County post-sentence to reclaim the child.

On October 14th, Clyda Dulaney's eight year old son awoke belatedly at about 7:30 AM in his home just off Highway 101 across from where Retech is today. He searched the family's trailer for his eight months pregnant mother. He didn't find her, but did discover her purse dumped out on her un-slept-in bed. Then he exited the front door and discovered her body outside the trailer. The frightened lad then dashed into the trailer next door in search of his great-grandmother. She was lying in the living room, television on. She had been beaten about the face and garroted with a stretched 36 inch boot lace.

The eight year old dashed out the back door of that trailer, re-entered his home via its back door, and awakened and dressed his two younger brothers. He led them out the back door to a neighbor's house. The neighbors called the Sheriff at about eight o'clock.

Sheriff Reno Bartolomie and his investigators found little physical evidence at the scene. Clyda Dulaney was lying on a walkway between the two trailers. She still had a double-looped leather thong embedded in her neck, and she had been beaten about the face and head. A heavy rain during the night had washed her body clean of trace evidence. Inside her trailer, Nancy Warren offered little more in clues — just blood under her fingernails. She too had been throttled by a double-looped 36 inch boot lace.

A $300 wad of bills in open view was ignored by the killer(s). A missing antique jewel box valued at $5,000 was later accounted for as sold. The change from a cash box may have been pilfered. Nancy's Antiques, the business directly in front of the trailers, was undisturbed.

Investigation began by looking for those with motives to kill either victim. Sixty-four year old Nancy Warren's life was unexceptional and she seemed to have no enemies. The same could not be said of her 24 year old granddaughter Clyda. She had left her ex-husband and father of her three boys, Johnny Ussery, and taken up with 49 year old Donald Dulaney and was bearing his child. Ussery was suing for custody of his sons, calling Clyda an unfit mother.

Ussery quickly proved his alibi; he was in Eugene, Oregon on the night of the murders. On the other hand, California Highway Patrol Sergeant Donald Dulaney had some explaining to do.

He said he was living in a Ukiah apartment with his teen daughter while seeking a large enough home for a blended family of six. Meanwhile, Clyda and sons stayed in her family's trailer. On the evening of the 13th, the entire Dulaney family watched a Disney show on TV at the apartment before Dulaney chauffeured Clyda and her boys home. After dropping them off at 9:30 PM, he headed for Sacramento, where he was scheduled for two weeks training. As he reached Route 20, he realized he had forgotten his uniform. After returning to his apartment for the uniform, he drove to Sacramento, arriving at 1:45 AM.

The blood under Nancy's fingernails was the wrong type to be Dulaney's. A check of his financials didn't uncover a large withdrawal that might have been used to pay off a hitman. He seemed cleared.

With the insiders checked out, what of the outsiders? The Sheriff considered three transient purse-snatching suspects who fled Ukiah. They may or may not have been the same three men reported changing a flat tire in the roadside vicinity of Nancy's Antiques the morning of the 14th. Another three men, possibly one or both of the above trios, was overheard in Hopland having a suspicious discussion. Then there was the report of a pickup truck full of hippies seen in an orchard near Nancy's Antiques. A vague and distorted grapevine rumor insisted that the murders may have been retribution for the Philo raid. In any case, none of these leads panned out.

Nor did the next lead concerning hippies. In December 1969, television news was rife with the horrific tale of an eight-month pregnant actress and her companions being slaughtered in Los Angeles. Sheriff Bartolomie recognized some of the faces featured; he had housed them in his jail under bogus names. He contacted the authorities in southern California. It seems that Sadie Mae Glutz, Ella Beth Sinder, Suzanne Scott, Cathran Patricia Smith, and Mary Brunner were actually Susan Atkins, Ella Jo Bailey, Stephanie Rowe, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Mary Brunner. The earliest recruits to Charlie Manson's murderous Family. And the hippie that had been arrested in Leggett? Charlie Manson. Who visited Susan Atkins at the Mendo County Jail during her stay there.

An interesting factoid emerged: leather thongs were used to restrain a couple of Mansonite victims before they were killed. Yet however tantalizing the facts were, the Mansons couldn't be firmly linked to the double murders.

One final incident occurred years later, when Johnny Ussery served time in Vacaville with Charlie Manson. Ussery was one of a group of inmates who approached Manson from behind. Ussery asked, “Hey, who did that thing up in Ukiah?” Manson spun about, and not knowing who had spoke, looked Ussery in the eye and replied, “You'll never know, will ya?”

And to this day we don't know. Fifty years on, the only chance at unlocking the riddle of Mendocino's oldest murder mystery will be if someone finally has a fit of conscience and confesses, or somebody divulges the family secrets…

HOWARD HOSPITAL FOUNDATION V. KEMPER

by Mark Scaramella

Last March Howard Hospital Foundation President Margie Handley introduced the “project manager” her foundation had hired for about $40k to prepare a cost estimate for converting the Old Howard Hospital in Willits into a Psychiatric Health Facility to the newly formed Measure B Mental Health Facilities advisory committee. The project manager, who runs a construction outfit called Heller & Sons with experience building PHF units, said that he had received a “list of needs” from the county which he'd used to determine room configurations, building code requirements and plans, which he’d then used to prepare a “proposal.” These proposed specs, he told the Measure B folks, could easily be converted into plans for an $11 million to $15 million upgrade/remodel for Mendo PHF II. He added that the cost range was based on either “market rates” for labor at $11 million or about $15 million if done under government contract with government specified “prevailing wages” for labor.

Then at the April Measure B Committee meeting, Willits City Manager Stephanie Garrabrant-Sierra questioned the Heller & Sons estimate, which Ms. Garrabrant-Sierra said assumed that the remodeled building would not need to meet California’s restrictive “OSHPD” (Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) hospital (seismic) construction standards, and, if it did, would raise the cost from their current estimates of $11-$15 million to an even higher number.

Fast forward to the August 29 meeting of the Measure B/Mental Health Facilities Advisory Committee, when consultant Lee Kemper summarized his well-prepared “needs assessment” report for the committee including a cost estimate for a new Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) — somewhere, not necessarily Willits. Kemper estimated that a PHF (not including the land) could be built for around $8 million.

Oops.

So, the consultant says a new PHF would cost a lot less than remodeling old Howard Hospital, undermining the assumption everyone seems to think was the main objective of Measure B in the first place.

Committee member Ross Liberty, who seems to have assumed that because he knows how to weld an exhaust pipe he also knows about mental health planning and construction costs said:

“Accepting this report does not mean we take everything as fact. In fact, I have some serious concerns about the $7.5 million budget for a building, for example [that Kemper provided]. And I have some concerns about some of the assumptions made on what it’s gonna cost net-net to run the psychiatric unit. So you’re saying we’re gonna accept it, not necessary believe it all. I don’t know how else to put that. No offense [turning to Mr. Kemper]. But I’m really challenging those numbers as they are unbidden. … It seems to me that the recommendation circles around some assumptions there which are, um, you know, based on verbal discussions and— not that I want to say there’s anything wrong with them, but…”

But Liberty’s attempt at “no offense” didn’t work.

Apparently Mr. Kemper took enough offense that this month Mr. Kemper — on his own initiative and at no additional cost — sent the Board of Supervisors a “Follow Up to August 29, 2018 Presentation” which is in Tuesday’s board agenda packet.

KCG Memo to Measure B Committee_092518

In that follow-up, Mr. Kemper defended his cost estimates against Liberty’s “offensive” comments:

“Kemper Consulting Group has been able to verify that [our] cost estimate of $5 million to $6 million for construction of a Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF), not including land, was not based on a prevailing wage requirement. It was based on construction costs for a private business. Based upon our subsequent research, we project the impact of a prevailing wage requirement on PHF construction costs would be an increase of 30%* above the top range of $6 million. This would increase the estimated cost to $7.8 million (not including land). Our original top-end estimate was $7.5 million.”

Also at the August 29 Kemper presentation, other Measure B committee members noted less insultingly that perhaps apples were being compared to oranges in considering the Foundation’s much higher old Howard Hospital remodel cost against Kemper’s lower number.

Kemper’s recent “follow-up” addresses that too, saying that if apples are being compared to oranges, then the problem is with the apples, not the oranges. That is, the assumptions (“from the county”) that Ms. Handley and her Foundation may have used to prepare their own private needs assessment should be revised and a new cost estimate should be submitted to the County based on Kemper’s much more comprehensive overall needs assessment.

Mr. Kemper concludes his “follow-up” with:

“3. Comparability of Cost Estimates for PHF Construction — During discussions with the Measure B Committee, it was reported that the estimate of $11.2 million to $14.9 million for rehabilitation of the old Howard Hospital building included costs for two facilities: a PHF and a separate psychiatric rehabilitation facility. To enable an ‘apples to apples’ comparison of estimated PHF construction costs between this estimate and the estimate we have provided in our report, we recommend that the Measure B Committee ask the Howard R. Hospital Foundation for a revised proposal from Heller & Sons that shows the separate costs of construction of each of these facilities. Kemper Consulting Group has recommended that a PHF be constructed with Measure B funds along with a Crisis Residential Treatment facility and a Crisis Stabilization Unit. Our firm has not recommended construction of a psychiatric rehabilitation facility [as included in the Foundation’s proposal] in addition to these recommended facilities.”

WE’RE NOT SURE how all this wrangling will play out. We doubt that Ms. Handley will shell out more money for a revised estimate from Heller & Sons — although that would be helpful, if at the same time delaying things. But it does seem clear that the Measure B Committee will now need to decide if they want to use Ms. Handley’s Foundation’s informal and as yet unpublicized “needs assessment” or Mr. Kemper’s $68,000 county-paid needs assessment based on his highly-praised professional report.

MEANWHILE, we again suggest that if the Sheriff and the Committee want to get going with a PHF — and they certainly should — why don’t they follow-up on Behavioral Health Advisory Committee Chairperson Jan McGourty’s suggestion that a pre-fab mobile/trailer facility be placed in Willits or Ukiah and get going with it for the short term with an initial preliminary staff from the legions of staffers now working under Camille Schraeder’s $28 million mental health services contract, while the “needs” are defined and the apples, oranges, and, well, nuts are sorted out. Not only would this provide short-term relief to law enforcement, but it would let the County get a feel for what it will take to staff and deliver a functional PHF someday.

LITTLE DOG SAYS, “Do I vote? Of course I vote, and I vote the dog ticket all the way. Any candidate who includes his dog with his perfect wife and 2.2 children, all of them beaming out at me with their big white perfect teeth, heck yeah, he or she gets a big paw up from me!”

UKIAH SHELTER PETS OF THE WEEK

This fluffy little kitten is Marble. She’s a 2 month old female, born to a feral mom but scooped up by a kind person who was able to socialize her. At the Shelter, Marble is a mellow kitten who likes to cuddle up in your arms. Marble lives with her two sisters who are also available for adoption.

Lexi is a sweet, shy dog who will need reassurance and TLC to help her gain confidence and feel comfortable. Right now, Lexi’s not too sure about leashes, so we are showing her that when a leash shows up--FUN follows! During her evaluation and meet and greet, Lexi was reserved, but she perked up a bit when she met the shelter's "tester dog." Lexi is a 1 year old, spayed female who weighs in at a svelte 69 pounds. More about this golden-eyed beauty on her webpage: mendoanimalshelter.com/dogblog/lexi

The Ukiah Animal Shelter is located at 298 Plant Road in Ukiah, and adoption hours are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 10 am to 4:30 pm and Wednesday from 10 am to 6:30 pm. To see photos and bios of the shelter's adoptable animals, please visit us online at: www.mendoanimalshelter.com or visit the shelter. Join us the second Saturday of every month for our "Empty the Shelter" pack walk and help us get every dog out for socialization and exercise! For more information about adoptions please call 707-467-6453.

AVA VOTING RECOMMENDATIONS, ROUND 3

It is regrettable too that the level of collective deliberation and debate at election time is so abysmally low, especially at the national level; and also that, in more cases than not, our elections are competitive in theory only. Thanks to gerrymandering and the many other ways that the duopoly party system has succeeded in institutionalizing itself, many, perhaps most, electoral outcomes can be confidently predicted in advance. —Andrew Levine

The Northcoast is gerrymandered for conservative Democrats, hence Huffman, Wood and McGuire, a trio of seat warmers of little distinction and less accomplishment, their expensive mailers notwithstanding. McGuire boasts the Redwood Trail which, count on it, will never become reality. Wood voted against the state’s version of single payer. Huffman went for the Hillary-Schumer-Pelosi Axis over the Northcoast Democrat’s strong support for Bernie. All three are to the political right of the majority of Northcoast Democrats and imposed on us by corporate-funded Demo Central. The AVA recommends No on all three of them.

Governor

Gavin Newsom: This guy’s going to be president so get used to him. He has demonstrated political courage, at least when he was confined to San Francisco, when he successfully defeated Frisco’s insane policy of handing drug addicts and drunks nearly $400 a month cash. Of course the care part of Newsom’s Care Not Cash never materialized and the streets of Baghdad by the Bay have never been as squalid as they are today. Newsom’s for the truly insane high speed train project and is about the same as Jerry Brown on all state issues. The glib, fast-talking Gav will be more of the same as he preps for the White House.

John Cox: A conservative Catholic — against abortion and the death penalty but for medical marijuana and tolerant of gay concerns — Cox opposes Trump who has nonetheless endorsed him. Not as insane on the issues as most Republicans, but no match for Newsom with his piles of money from Big Democrat who will crush the upstart papist.

Lieutenant Governor: A purely ceremonial post contested by a pair of interchangeable hack Democrats. Who cares?

Secretary of State: Padilla is a machine Demo but narrowly preferable to Republican Meuser. Padilla.

State Controller: State Controller: It seems like Betty Yee has been in office forever. Part of the San Francisco Democrat machine, Yee, a career officeholder, had "served" on the State Board of Equalization at a fancy salary prior to her election as State Controller. If you're as estranged from the Democrats as we are, vote for the other person (Konstantinos Roditis) as a No vote on Democrats.

State Treasurer: Fiona Ma has not distinguished herself as a SF supervisor but, as a CPA she’s at least qualified for this job, as is her CPA Republican opponent. No real diff between the two. Ma by a nose.

Attorney General: We’re for Becerra because mercy tends to be more likely with a Democrat than it is with a Republican retired judge like Bailey. Becerra.

Insurance Commissioner: Poizner over Lara because Poizner is registered Indpendent and is more likely to be independent of the rapacious industry that preys on all of us.

State Board of Equalization: Party Democrat off the San Francisco Board of Supervisors versus a Republican realtor. No choice.

United States Senator: De Leon will be a marginal improvement over Diane Feinstein. De Leon.

2nd District Representative: Incumbent Huffman vs. Dale Mensing, Republican grocery store clerk out of Garberville. Mensing!

State Senator: Veronica Jacobi vs. incumbent Mike McGuire. Jacobi has real credentials as an engineer and a business owner. Jacobi.

State Assembly: Matt Heath is a Republican who cites fatherhood as a reason for voting for him. Dude! Anybody can do it. It qualifies you for nothing, but incumbent Wood? Vote for Dad. Heath for Assembly.

Vote NO on all the incumbent judges, especially the hacks functioning as appellate judges. Speaking from sad personal experience with both the state and the appellate courts, both of which, in twisted, illogical, childlike reasoning ruled against me in two beefs I made the expensive error of pursuing beyond the Mendocino County courts, I can tell you that you might as well flip a coin as appeal to this sad gang of mostly Democrat-appointed, life, sinecure holders who have the arrogance of revealing nothing of themselves on the ballot, appearing thereon for mere re-anointment. Vote No on all of them.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction: Anyone in full possession knows that the public schools need to be totally re-structured, having become an immovable blob of entrenched interests that prepares no child for life in a crumbling society, especially the children of the large majority of parents. Most of you will have noted that the wealthy abandoned the public schools years ago, a clear case of the rats leaving a ship they knew was sinking. Of the two guys running for Superintendent? Thurmond seems more in touch with the entropic morass schools have become. Thurmond.

Supervisors

Third District: Haschak v. Pinches

Fifth District: Williams v. No one

Pinches for Third District Supe because he's frugal, creative, truly independent, although Haschak, improved lately as a candidate, seems to be tardily more familiar with the issues. He did well in the recent debate with Pinches in Willits. And we certainly agree with Haschak’s opposition to the recent pay raises for the County’s bigwigs as they prioritize themselves over the County’s line workers, and not for the first time. Pinches suggests the raises are somehow legally mandated, but Haschak roared back, “Show me the law.” Haschak’s major downside is his financial support from outside Democrats of the large type, including endorsements by the Demo machine that controls the Northcoast — Wood, McGuire, Huffman et al. County admin desperately wants Haschak because they see him as another Yes vote for continued featherbedding and mutual congratulation sessions in lieu of the public's business. Sensible people will vote Pinches.

Williams for 5th District Supervisor, although so far it's unclear why he wants the job, employing “job” in its loosest sense, at least the way the incumbents are doing it. There’s a cavernous disconnect between what the present County leadership says it’s doing and, objectively, actual results. The bi-monthly meetings are festivals of delusion, Potemkin-like affairs heavy on managerial self-congratulation that do not coincide with reality, kinda like meds time in an asylum. Candidates Haschak and Williams, if they think there isn’t massive dysfunction at the top, if they think the present functioning of the supervisors is acceptable, will be more of the same. Pinches has always been about getting ‘er done.

Fort Bragg City Council: Lindy Peters, Ruben Alcala, Tess Albin-Smith, Bobby Burns, Jessica Morsell-Haye, Mary Rose Kaczorowkski, (Three seats up) Incumbents Cimolino and Turner are not running. We like Alcala and Albin-Smith so far.

Point Arena City Council: Incumbent Barbara Burkey is the only candidate running for two seats. We think she can easily fill both of them for a town that seems to exist solely to fund a couple of expensive part-time managers.

Ukiah City Council: Jim Brown and Maureen Mulheren (incumbents) with Chon Travis, Ed Haynes, Matt Froneberger and Juan Orozco running for three seats. Incumbent Kevin Doble is not running.

Travis is certainly the most exciting council candidate in some time, having been busted by the Ukiah PD for meth possession in 2011 (which he claimed was planted on him), but excitement isn't enough to doggedly sort out the business of running Ukiah. Haynes and Orozco for sure; Haynes especially will be an asset for good government on a weak and fiscally irresponsible council, second in general dereliction only to the County Board of Supervisors.

Willits City Council: Incumbent Larry Stranske, Greta Kanne and Jeremy Hershman are running for two seats. Incumbent Ron Orenstein is not running. We're still in research mode re Willits but hear good things about candidate Kanne. Stranske definitely deserves re-election. Willits’ city government seems to cook along competently enough given the dearth of complaints about it.

Coast Hospital Board: Incumbent Kevin Miller, John Redding, Jade Tippett, Amy Beth McColley, and Jessica Grindberg are running for 3 long term seats (Incumbents Kitty Bruning, and Peter Glusker are not running). Also, Karen Arnold and Rex Gressett are running for incumbent Tom Birdsell’s short term seat (appointed incumbent).

People we trust recommend Arnold, Redding and Grinberg. No, we don’t care if Redding’s a Catholic and generally conservative. We're of course partial to our ace Coast Correspondent, R. Gressett, but want him to focus on his journalo-responsibilities.

Coast Parks & Rec: Bob Bushansky (incumbent) is the only candidate running for three seats. He’s the guy who says Mendo Public Radio’s opaque budget is not only perfectly balanced, it’s perfectly understandable. Which it isn’t. Bushansky, natch, is the KZYX board’s treasurer. He’s probably just right for Parks & Rec.

County School Board: Incumbents Don Cruser and Mary Misseldine, plus Tarney Sheldon are running for three seats. Incumbent Camille Schraeder is not running.

Fait accompli. The three candidates are the winners of this cozy little paid sinecure that oversees an invisible agency. We only hope the County School Board will not join the gutless wonders already working surreptitiously to undermine newly elected superintendent, Michelle Hutchins. She ought to at least be given a chance to do the job without fending off ghosts, especially in the context of MCOE, an entity presided over by howling incompetents for many years.

Mendo College Board, 3 seats up. Incumbents Ed Haynes and Janet Chaniot are not running. Ed Nickerman, Camille Schraeder, Donald Burgess, Patrick Webb, Giny Chandler, Xochilt Martinez, John Pegan, Larry Lang and Jerry Eaton are running for three seats. We thought Nickerman was dead, an assumption which is a measure of the college's invisibility, and we have no idea of the issues involved here, if any. Also: Robert Pinoli Jr., incumbent is running against William Daniel for one short-term seat. Pinoli is an Anderson Valley homeboy so we’ve got to go with him, but William “Bill” Daniels, unlike the other candidates, has posted campaign signs, meaning he really wants the job. We hope to find out why. Nickerman for sure, at least while he remains upright. Nice guy whom we’ve known and liked for many years.

A READER NOTES re candidate Lang: “This guy was the theater tech staff person, one of the highest paid classified positions at the college. He was an inch away from impossible to work with and finally after years of complaints from outside and inside the institution, he was fired. He then got his union to help him sue the college, a move that cost tax payers lots of moola. And eventually, he won a settlement. This is not a surprising event at the college, it was the way the well-paid higher-ups dealt with problematic employees. Instead of doing their job and conducting actual evaluations, the problematic person was paid off to just go away.”

Local Measures

Fort Bragg Measure H - Shall the measure to enact a three-eighths (3/8th) of a cent general purpose transactions and use tax to provide the City with an estimated $623,000 per year for a limited period of fifteen years be adopted? YES

Willits Measure I - To fund general municipal expenses such as police, fire, roads and recreation, shall the City of Willits tax cannabis (marijuana) businesses at annual rates not to exceed $10 per canopy square foot for cultivation (adjustable for inflation), 6% of gross receipts for retail cannabis businesses, and 4% for all other cannabis businesses; which is expected to generate an estimated $250,000 to $400,000 annually and will be levied until repealed by the voters or the City Council? YES. (About time the stoners coughed up.)

Statewide Ballot Measures

Proposition 1 — Authorizes Bonds to Fund Specified Housing Assistance Programs. Legislative Statute. YES. With many Americans now sleeping in their cars and on the streets, it’s past time for an effective federal housing programs of the New Deal type, but some money at the state level is better than no adequate money at all levels.

Proposition 2 — Authorizes Bonds to Fund Existing Housing Program for Individuals with Mental Illness. Legislative Statute. YES, although we desperately need to re-institute state hospitals.

Proposition 3 — Authorizes Bonds to Fund Projects for Water Supply and Quality, Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Water Conveyance, and Groundwater Sustainability and Storage. Initiative Statute. YES. Water quality and quantity is deteriorating faster than it can be intelligently managed, but Prop 3 is a step forward.

Proposition 4 — Authorizes Bonds Funding Construction at Hospitals Providing Children’s Health Care. Initiative Statute. YES

Proposition 5 — Changes Requirements for Certain Property Owners to Transfer their Property Tax Base to Replacement Property. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. NO. Oligarchical swindle.

Proposition 6 — Eliminates Certain Road Repair and Transportation Funding. Requires Certain Fuel Taxes and Vehicle Fees be Approved by The Electorate. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. NO. Not a good time to roll back the gas tax with infrastructure crumbling throughout the state.

Proposition 7 — Conforms California Daylight Saving Time to Federal Law. Allows Legislature to Change Daylight Saving Time Period. Legislative Statute. YES

Proposition 8 — Regulates Amounts Outpatient Kidney Dialysis Clinics Charge for Dialysis Treatment. Initiative Statute. YES. Years ago, I accompanied a friend to one of these blood-washing joints in Santa Rosa. My friend had been blackballed from several for complaining about conditions which, in the place I saw, were demonstrably poor. Syndicates of greedy doctors own these most lucrative businesses which, in the advanced countries of the world, are part of single-payer medical systems where they rightly belong. Imagine your kidneys owned by faceless collections of medical exploiters, and that’s what we presently have as is.

Proposition 9 (On July 18, 2018, Proposition 9 was removed from the ballot by order of the California Supreme Court. It was the Divide California into thirds initiative.)

Proposition 10 — Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property. Initiative Statute. YES. Doesn’t go nearly far enough and, in the spine-free political context of elected Mendo, unlikely to be initiated.

Proposition 11 — Requires Private-Sector Emergency Ambulance Employees to Remain On-Call During Work Breaks. Eliminates Certain Employer Liability. Initiative Statute. NO. Corporate-owned ambulance services behind this one as a way to chisel free work out of first responders.

Proposition 12 — Establishes New Standards for Confinement of Specified Farm Animals; Bans Sale of Noncomplying Products. Initiative Statute. YES. Seems common health sense to us unless you’re indifferent to the chicken on your plate spending its short life getting shot up with chemicals in a cage so small the thing can’t even turn around.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 THE UKIAH VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT filed a formal claim against the City of Ukiah for $16 million going back to the 1960s. According to the claim, the City of Ukiah has knowingly miscalculated the number of sewer connections in the City vs. the number of sewer connections outside the City (aka the District) which determines the percentage of sewer system costs allocated to the Sanitation District since late December 1966. The claim stemmed in part from a Grand Jury report which also noted Ukiah’s miscalculations which conveniently benefited Ukiah.

According to the claim, the miscalculation is primarily caused by skewed “projections” showing an inflated number of future sewer connections in the District; these figures were never recalculated to reflect the actual (lower) number of connections as called for in the agreement between the Sanitation District and the City.

According to the agreement between the Sanitation District and the City, not only does the City of Ukiah operate the Ukiah Valley sewer system and the treatment plant, but Ukiah also does the books for the system, including the Sanitation District’s books. This in turn would have increased the costs for the Sanitation District which, although not stated directly in the claim, caused increased sewage service costs to ratepayers outside the City of Ukiah.

WHY DID THE PROBLEM FESTER for so long? According to the 2013 claim, prior to 2008 the Sanitation District Board was made up of three appointees, two from the Board of Supervisors and one from the Ukiah City Council who, presumably, didn’t take an interest in the annual allocations — projected or actual — of sewer connections which increasingly favored the city and added up to lots of money in the city's favor over time.

Then in 2008, the Sanitation District was reorganized into a five-member elected board and that “independent” board began looking into the sewer connection allocations only to be stonewalled by the City of Ukiah which, the claim alleges, refused to provide the Independent Board and staff with access to the sewer system books — “even though numerous requests have been made.” The Claim says that Ukiah told the District that the records were “lost or otherwise destroyed,” even though the City had a fiduciary duty to maintain them.

THE CLAIM alleges that the annual reviews and re-allocations as called for in the City-District agreement would have corrected the projected number of non-City (District) connections to the actual number of non-City (District) connections. But the reviews were never conducted, and therefore the ratio of City-to-District hook-ups was skewed in favor of Ukiah, costing the Sanitation District millions of dollars over the years, most of it accrued since the 90s.

THE CLAIM ALSO ALLEGES that the City has overbilled the Sanitation District for the District’s share of the $75 million sewer system/treatment plant expansion project in the mid-90s, based on a similarly skewed calculation of sewer hookups.

THE CLAIM turned out to be essentially true, because last month Ukiah “settled” the claim by paying essentially the amount the District’s 2013 claim demanded.

According to the Summary provided by the District’s Ukiah attorney outfit, Duncan James & Associates:

Sonoma County Superior Court case number SCV 256737

SUMMARY OF DAMAGES:

$16,416,296.49 - TOTAL AMOUNT OF DAMAGES

$9,996,246.03 - NET RECOVERY after all litigation expenses

$6,420,049.97 - TOTAL DISTRICT litigation expense.

THAT’S RIGHT: the City of Ukiah has to pay basically the original $16 mil-plus, while Duncan James gets $6.4 million of that.

In other words, the City of Ukiah has been using the Sanitation District and its ratepayers as a slush fund to backfill the City's budget deficits for years (presumably intentionally because Ukiah benefited from the convenient miscalculation, but intentionality was not disclosed in the settlement), in a manner similar to the way the City of Ukiah used redevelopment money, but which stopped when the State of California put an end to redevelopment in the early 2010s.

THE CITY OF UKIAH ends up paying a couple of million in their own attorney fees plus the Sanitation District’s attorney fees of about $6.4 million, meaning the Sanitation District will net about $10 million after Duncan James’s huge fees are deducted. Of course, Ukiah could have offered to settle the case soon after the claim rather than fighting it all these years only to end up paying the $16 million-plus original claim. The courts could have saved everybody a lot of money if they’d ordered the parties into court overseen settlement conferences right away and saved the City and the District lots of fees. But Mendo courts have never seen fit to order such cost-saving conferences until after the attorneys have milked their clients for as much as they can first.

THE OTHER WINGTIP SHOE WILL DROP when Ukiah area sewer system ratepayers, both in the City proper and the District outside the city, find out what their new sewer rates will be next year.

UKIAH CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES ANSWER AUDIENCE QUESTIONS AT FORUM

by Justine Frederiksen

All five candidates for Ukiah City Council answered questions from an audience gathered at an election forum Thursday night at the Ukiah Civic Center.

The forum was hosted by the Mendocino Women’s Political Coalition and moderated by Ukiah Daily Journal editor K.C. Meadows, who asked the candidates their opinion of how the city is addressing “the homeless situation, and what would you do differently if you could?”

“In one minute?” incumbent Council member Jim Brown said, referring to the fact that each candidate was allowed 60 seconds to respond to each question. “Homelessness is a nationwide problem, there is no easy answer. And homelessness is not a crime.

“We have a shelter that is currently a winter shelter, and we need to look strongly at opening that up year-round,” Brown continued. “We need to strongly look at helping our homegrown homeless people and keeping the transient people on the road. There’s a lot of things the city is doing well, especially from the law enforcement side of it – they are citing people who are trashing our waterways and not being environmentally sensitive. Could we do more? Yes, if we had millions and millions more dollars.”

“We do need a lot of services for the homeless they may not be getting in order to (help them) out of their situation,” said challenger Juan Orozco, adding that he read the evaluation of Mendocino County’s homeless services completed by Dr. Robert Marbut that includes 28 recommendations, many of which Orozco described as “very good.”

Challenger Ed Haynes said he also read and agreed with the Marbut report, suggesting that the “city take a proactive approach” to one of the recommendations in particular, which is to make sure that every person who receives services from any of the numerous agencies and nonprofits in Ukiah is entered into a Homeless Management Information System.

“People (currently) don’t get paid for entering data into the HMIS, so the city could facilitate that, pay someone to go around to the different areas where the homeless are getting services and get them into that database, that would be a big step forward,” Haynes said.

“There’s so many levels and dimensions of homelessness and they can’t all be treated the same way,” said challenger Chon Travis. “For me, I think … we have a lot of empty buildings and we have a lot of retired professionals in this community who are really bored, and they’re amazing teachers, and we have a lot of people who need to learn better work skills. So when you put those people together in these empty buildings, call it whatever you want on the outside, but inside, get people feeling really good about who they are again and create some real healing for some of those who want to get back into their community and contribute.”

“We need to work better as a community in collaboration with the nonprofits and collaboration with government, and (understand) how the money flows down to the nonprofits and how the community sees the nonprofits,” said incumbent Council member Maureen Mulheren. “More collaborative effort is what’s key for the homeless problem, (which) is one of the most challenging community conversations we have.”

The candidates were also asked, “How should the city revitalize its downtown, and should that include a prohibition on marijuana stores?”

“Well, that’s an interesting way to phrase that question,” said incumbent Mulheren. “I think that one of the most important things the city can do to improve downtown is to work on parking, and how people get around the downtown,” explaining that having to cross four lanes of State Street to get there keeps a lot of people from walking into the area.

“I don’t think that limiting any kind of industry, cannabis or otherwise, is necessary in our downtown,” she said.

“I think our Main Street Program and Chamber of Commerce do a pretty good job of bringing folks downtown, and I would think that the restaurants and the shops would want to take the lead in revitalizing the downtown,” said incumbent Brown. “I don’t think we should prohibit marijuana business downtown; however, they have to have a good plan with a good safety net for all to be safe.”

“I believe we do need to have our downtown be a little more attractive for shoppers, and safe, as well, for people crossing the street, and we could definitely use some innovative changes in the parking as well,” said Orozco. “As far as cannabis businesses, there is a time and place for that, but maybe not where we walk our children around.”

“As a business owner outside downtown, I’ve witnessed a lot of attention paid by the City Council to the downtown area, and almost none to other businesses outside of it,” said Haynes, a veterinarian and owner of Ukiah Veterinary Hospital on South State Street. “If downtown can’t pull itself together, I don’t have a problem with it suffering the consequences. And as far as marijuana shops, I think they should be wherever they want to be, unless it’s near a school.”

“I’m glad you asked that question,” said Travis, explaining that recently he and his wife counted “nine empty buildings downtown within four blocks. Let’s try and get something started in those buildings by involving the youth: these guys are brilliant, they’re always thinking of cool things to do. The thing I would do, elected or not, is approach young adults (and suggest we talk to) the owners of these properties and see if we can’t get start-ups happening in them. I think the ideas these kids would come up with would be amazing.”

Three seats are up for re-election Nov. 6, with incumbents Brown and Mulheren facing challengers Haynes, Orozco and Travis. Matt Froneberger’s name will also be on the ballot, but he officially withdrew from the race.

SAVE YOKAYO BOWL

With all that’s going on in the world, it seems hardly worth mentioning that the modest, 16-lane bowling alley at the north end of Ukiah might have to shut down before the end of the year.

Unless you live within a hour or so of the Yokayo Bowling Center and you have a sense of the purpose the place serves.

More than 4,000 people have signed petitions that really are a communal plea for mercy for the 60-year-old business that gives kids, seniors and families in a great swath of Mendocino and Lake counties something fun and affordable to do — especially when the weather turns wintry.

Friends of Yokayo Bowl are hurting along with owner Mike Schutz as he confronts the possible loss of his business.

“I don’t want to see this go,” Schutz said.

He leases the building on North State Street, and the current lease expires at the end of the year. Schutz said he’s had good relations with the owners, all heirs of the late Henry Erickson, during the 10 years he’s run the bowling alley.

Erickson and his late brother, Arnold, once owned a good deal of property, including the Vichy Springs Resort and, right next to the Yokayo Bowl, the landmark Fjord’s Smorg-ette. There’s now an In-N-Out where the Fjords was.

Earlier this year, Schutz was anticipating no problems with renewing the lease on the Yokayo Bowl building with the Erickson heirs and their company, Erickson Brothers Properties.

Trouble arose in July. Schutz was told that someone was offering to pay triple what he was paying to lease the building.

Schutz said one of the partners let him know that, in fact, he and the others were more interested in selling the property. So Schutz wrote up a purchase offer and presented it to a Ukiah real estate agent for the Erickson heirs, John Lazaro.

Schutz said the owners rejected his offer, so he sweetened it. He was waiting for a response when, he said, Lazaro told him the owners were thinking it might be better to continue to lease it.

But to whom? Schutz has no idea who’s vying to take over the current home of Yokayo Bowl. I phoned real estate agent Lazaro but haven’t heard back from him.

Schutz would like to throw himself into planning one of his biggest events of the year, a fundraising tournament for Special Olympics on Dec. 2. But if the building is leased or sold to someone else, he’d have to lock the doors by about then in order to vacate by Dec. 31.

“We’re kind of in limbo,” he said. And here it’s happening just as weather is drawing in bowlers from the cold.

PINCHES, PEOPLE

Dear People of the 3rd District,

It is once again election time. Please vote! Many people have come to believe that their vote doesn’t count. That we have simply lost all control over our government and our future. Democracy only works if the people who are lucky enough to live in a democratic society, participate in the process. WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

Your vote does count! If you recall, Mendocino County took on Monsanto and won. It may not have completely wiped out GMOs, but it set an example that others have followed. The leaders we choose, set the standards as well. If we make smart informed choices about local issues and leaders, then our votes do have an impact.

We have seen a lot of changes recently due to decisions that voters have made. Changes that have turned our local economy into one crazy roller coaster ride. I don’t know where it ends but I don’t think we’ll be in Kansas anymore.

The next person we elect as 3rd District Supervisor needs to be the person with the most experience. The person with the best navigational skills and track record for getting things done. The person we can trust the most with our future.

We must elect John Pinches to be our 3rd District Supervisor. He has twelve previous years of experience as 3rd District Supervisor. He gets things done. Not just in the third district but for the whole county.

John Pinches personally supervised a strict departmental budget review and established operational analysis systems at the beginning of his first term as 3rd District Supervisor. John Pinches has no problem with transparency. He will not only give you the facts. I have personally witnessed him publicly offer to give a copy of the facts to anyone who would like a copy.

John Pinches won’t be bought by special interest groups. In fact, John will not accept donations any larger than $49.00. John Haschak on the other hand, has accepted thousands of dollars from special interest groups as far away as Los Angeles, Sacramento and Alameda. Not to mention he didn’t even spend it locally. He spent almost $10,000 having his printing done in Santa Rosa. There are at least 10 locally owned Printing services in Mendocino County. If he isn’t supporting local business now, he certainly isn’t going to support us later. He hired an out of county consulting firm as well. Green Dog Campaign Consultants out of San Rafael. This is public record.

Haschak claims that, John Pinches couldn’t get the second access road done for Brooktrails, during three terms in office. The truth is, Brooktrails property owners would not go for it.

Haschak doesn’t think our water rights are important. John has always fought for our water rights and our rights as private property owners. He has studied and is well versed on all aspects, laws and contracts involving and pertaining to this county, both public and private.

Haschak claims the support of past supervisor Hal Wagenet. The guy who wanted to put meters on our springs and wells. At the end of his term as 3rd District Supervisor, Mendocino County was on the verge of bankruptcy. The county was a fiscal disaster.

John Pinches implemented a FULLY FUNDED program to repair roads, bridges and infrastructure for our county. John Pinches helped put in motion, the Pine Mountain Bridge and the pedestrian bridge on Branscomb Rd. Now close to completion.

John Pinches created the program to use Air Quality Programs to dust coat rural county roads, initiated the Amnesty Program for Building Permits, stopped herbicide spraying along Hwy 101, opposed ground and aerial spraying the chemical Garlon on forest lands, paved Covelo Airport and strongly opposed Tax Hikes. It would take a whole page to list the many things John Pinches has accomplished for the 3rd District and this County.

John Pinches has served this county for years! He has been involved with least, 18 agencies, associations, councils and Boards in the interest of this County. Haschak thinks commitment is showing up at Grange breakfasts.

Mr. Haschak asked John Pinches at the Candidate forum, why he is running for Supervisor, after stating that he wouldn’t run again. I’ll tell you why! Because many people have encouraged John Pinches to represent us again. Our own Mendocino County Supervisors asked Governor Brown to appoint John Pinches to the position when Tom Woodhouse took leave last year. Governor Brown chose to leave the 3rd District of Mendocino County without representation for months, during a time, when representation was extremely important to the future of this our county. The Governor must have known Pinches reputation for getting things done and defending our water rights!

All the issues Haschak talks about doing, Pinches has been on top of getting done for years. John Haschak doesn’t even know the laws or facts. John Haschak needs to do his homework!

John Pinches Knows the facts and the laws pertaining to the issues of Mendocino County. He has already proven that he is dedicated to serving this community! He has the experience we need! He won’t be compromised. by large donations from special interest groups. He will fight for the people of this District. He has never let us down.

Please make informed and intelligent decisions about our future!

Vote for John Pinches for Third District Supervisor!

LOVELY LITTLE FAMILY EXCITED FOR A LITTLE NEST

Hey there! We are a friendly couple with a little kid, one of us is a second-year student at the Krenov School of Fine Woodworking here in Fort Bragg. We are excited to create a new nest, and we're ready to move this weekend. We’re mostly wanting to be homebodies when not working/in school. We are hoping to find a sweet spot with an oven and a bathtub, which we could install ourselves. We’re willing to make a barn/warehouse/workshop livable. The kid, Ruby, is a darling and very respectful almost-4 year old who lives with us part-time, and is used to living in funky places and staying safe within them. We’d be particularly happy to housesit/care for someone’s horses, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, etc. One of us also has years of caregiving/nanny experience. We’re open to other forms of work-trade, and/or paying rent. References a plenty. Thanks for reading. Have a beautiful day!

ON LINE COMMENT OF THE DAY

When I was back in Norteamerica in late 1986, making an ultimately disastrous attempt to reintegrate into the “culture” as it stood, I went into a deli in upper Manhattan and purchased a large, fragrant, blushing mango. For a dollar. It was winter, and I stood there for a moment outside the store imagining the trip that fruit had taken, how little the farmer must have earned from it, and the very fragility of the whole transport / distribution system. That was only me, the stranger in my own land. Everybody else was going about their business, assuming the era of ripe dollar mangoes would stride merrily on forever.

A REAL MAN?

Hey Jerry Philbrick,

“We have a real man for president.”

“We have a real man for a judge.”

These are quotes from you. Since when does a real man grab women by the pussy? Since when does a real man pin a young girl down and sexually assault her while his friends laugh? Promoting judges like Moore who molested a 14-year-old girl as a 32 year man, or Republican Sen. Shorty was going to prison for molesting young boys. Is this what is making America Great Again? Apparently the definition of a man has changed in your mind. Jerry, you are not the same person I knew from Comptche. I cannot help but wonder what you would have done if any of these men would have touched your daughters when they were young women? You should be ashamed to call yourself a man, and to support someone like Trump.
