Published Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Winiford Williams DOUGLAS DEAN SMITH June 18, 1935 - August 31, 2013 Doug Smith passed away at home in Red Bluff on Aug. 31, 2013. He was 78. He was born June 18, 1935, in Scottsbluff, Nebr., to Lloyd and Julia Smith. Doug was raised in Gering, Nebr. and graduated from Gering High School. He entered Chadron State Teachers College with the intention of majoring in Industrial Arts in order to teach shop. However, while there, he experienced a call to ministry, and transferred to Nebraska Wesleyan. After completing seminary at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, he was ordained a Methodist pastor and appointed to minister to Methodist students at the University of Wyoming. There he met Kathleen Conant. They were married Aug. 25, 1963, and moved to California where Kathleen finished school and their three children were born. In his work Doug alternated between ministering to people and working with his hands. He was a gifted storyteller which enriched his preaching, and he had a special rapport with children and teen-agers. God used him to make a difference in many lives. But he was also an adventurous and creative man who was especially drawn to buildings, boats, and old tools. The family lived for two years in Sausalito on a houseboat he built, and another two in a cabin he made in Scott Valley. He also restored one of the oldest houses in Red Bluff. The churches he served and the jobs he held, in chronological order, were: pastor at Epworth Methodist in Berkeley; mail carrier for the Berkeley Post Office; prison guard at San Quentin, pastor of Etna and Ft. Jones; house painter in Scott Valley; pastor of the churches in Colfax, Dutch Flat, and Elk Grove; house painter in Sacramento, part-time administrator at "Loaves & Fishes" (an agency serving the poor and homeless in Sacramento) while serving part-time at Knight's Landing United Methodist Church. In 1990 Doug and Kathleen moved to Colorado so that she could attend seminary. While there, Doug served several churches. On their return to California in 1994, Doug became the pastor of First United Methodist Church in Red Bluff, and Kathleen was appointed pastor to the four smaller Methodist churches in the county. All his adult life Doug felt a call to say no to war. When the country was involved in armed conflict, he often protested. During the Vietnam war Doug was very troubled by the ever-mounting deaths on both sides of the conflict. It came to him that Mt. Shasta was a natural peace symbol, having more power than a nuclear weapon, yet sitting there quiet and peaceful. He resigned his position at the Etna and Ft. Jones churches to protest the war and draw attention to Mt. Shasta as a symbol of peace, knowing that many would think him crazy. With help from friends and family, he lived near the top of the mountain for three months. Doug's last effort to say no to war was in Red Bluff. He and Kathleen were a part of the group that stood at the corner of Oak and Main Streets on Saturdays to protest the Iraq war. Doug made the large banners and was instrumental in keeping the vigil going until that war ended. For several years after retiring in 1998, Doug was the devoted caregiver for Kathleen's mother. In his free time Doug enjoyed writing down his thoughts and bicycling in the hills around Red Bluff. Doug cherished his family, and they loved him dearly. How they'll miss his bear hugs and the twinkle in his eyes. All those who knew and loved him are left to nurture that of Doug that lives and grows in them. Doug died of complications related to Alzheimer's Dementia. He is preceded in death by his brother Max. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; brother Roger Smith and wife Lorraine of Rogue River; brother Rusty Smith of Bakersfield; son Matthew Smith and wife Fiona Gow of San Francisco; daughter Audrey Smith and husband Art Elder of Oakland; and daughter Kristen Smith of Ft. Collins, CO; and four granddaughters Renata, Sasha, Olivia and Julina. Memorial gifts may be donated to Poor and the Homeless (P.A.T.H.), P.O. Box 315, redbluffpath.org; or a charity of your choice. Services will be held on Sat., Sept. 21, at 2:00 p.m. at Cone Community Church, 1 mile south of Dairyville on Hwy 99 E. Winiford Williams died Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013 at her home in Gerber. He was 76. Arrangements are under the direction of Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers. Published Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. POT Continued from page 1A ent standard. "You're asking me to play by one set of rules and these bad guys just don't have to play by the same set," Galper said. Galper said he wondered if he should just announce he would shoot law enforcement himself to keep authorities off his property as well. Chairman Dennis Garton said the board did not want people taking the law into their own hands. "When I call the powers that be and they tell me they don't have the man power to deal with it then what choice (do I have), what am I to do? Let them kill my cattle? Let them burn me out?," Galper responded. Galper said the only other option he could see is to list an advertisement in California Farmer and move because Tehama County was now allowing dope dealers. "If we'll allow the criminal element to establish itself in Tehama County — and I'm not talking about marijuana — I'm talking about a criminal element that is breaking laws. If we allow them to establish in this county we are going to regret it because we're not going to be able to get out of that terrible, sticky mess we've put ourselves in," Galper said. Newton said the men were trying to bring the issue to the attention to the board and asked them to ask themselves what type of future vision they had for Tehama County. "We're living in fear in this county. We're living in fear of the Mexican drug cartel," Newton said. Garton said the board would be hearing around a dozen marijuana ordinance appeal cases on Sept. 18. "We're very aware of the issue, we're trying to work with it as best as possible," he said. Garton referred both men to meet with the sheriff's and fire departments and suggested a meeting may need to be held in the future. After public comment Newton and Galper met with Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston and Fire Chief Jeff Schori outside the board chambers.

Jerry Brown secured a federal grant to help agencies pay for the cost of the Clover Fire. THE PASSING PARADE (Another letter from Herb Flournoy in the Merchant Marines to Dave Minch January 1943) "Well here we are back in the states safe and sound after another convoy trip with lots of news and strange experiences. We sailed from New York in November and arrived in Casablanca French Morocco about noon on the 18th. We were supposed to land a week earlier but the first invasion force ran into so much trouble that we were forced to land a week later. I talked to a French woman whose son was killed on the French battleship Joan Bart which we put out of commission. She did not blame the Americans but said she would seek vengeance against the Germans as long as she lived. The modern parts of Casablanca are very nice with streamlined buildings and beautiful parks and drives. The finest apartments cost 450 franks a month and the exchange rate is one American dollar for 75 francs. For an American dollar you can get a maid who will do all the cleaning and cooking. However, in the poorer sections of the city the conditions are worse than you can imagine. The streets are only 10 to 15 feet wide and no accommodations were available. Water is conveyed in buckets or crocks and all washing is done in public troughs which are also used for horses and camels. There are no sanitary facilities and the stench that arises from some streets is almost strong enough to knock you down. Restaurants have open fires in a little corner where food is cooked to order. I saw an Arabian Jew having some of those famous African dates packed for shipment, and he had two ragged Moroccans walk on top of the boxes in their dirty bare feet to pack the dates in tightly. I lost my appetite for them right there. Flies swarm by the billions everywhere you look. I work from 15 to 18 hour days seeing that all the meat is cut up and ready for the next meals. You can get an idea how much we prepare in knowing that we use 5400 pounds of turkey for one meal or 5600 pounds of spareribs or 450 pounds of stew meat. We had a thousand officers and crew plus the troops we transported on the ship. By the way, on our trip back to the states, we got into some really rough weather. Many times the seas came crashing over our decks. On board, there was a Hindu snake charmer with his snake. I was watching his act and he asked me if I would like to be blessed. I gave him an O.K. and tossed him two francs. He came over with his flute, put the cobra right on the floor next to me and started playing. He then kneeled down and kissed both my shoes. I could not understand what he was saying but it was very interesting until he wanted me to kneel down and let the snake kiss me. That was too much for me and I declined.
