Foss told board mem- bers to take a peak around the front yard to get a general impression before knocking on the door and leave notes for those who are not home, making sure to always point out something pos- itive. Most residents Foss and Humphreys visited Wednesday on Wor- thington Avenue didn’t know about the program, but were already in com- pliance with the stan- dards, sparing them- selves a second visit. “It doesn’t have to be moonscaped or eradicat- ed,” Foss said. “We just want them manicured and cleaned up so fire doesn’t have a straight path to the house.” Foss said, as a fire- SHASTA Continued from page 1A search by winds as strong as 55 miles per hour, freezing tempera- tures and stormy weather.

Shrubs can be within the firebreak but they have to be maintained, meaning plants need to be kept watered and green, Foss said. While rules are differ- ent for each property broken up into three par- cel sized, the 100 feet of clearance around the res- idence and other struc- tures is required in all cases, she said. “It’s just with the smaller lots it’s usually the main portion of the lot (that falls within the 100 feet),” Foss said.

He was less than opti- mistic when audience members asked him about the possibility of getting enough Republicans elect- ed to repeal the health bill. “It’s very tough,” he said. “I don’t want to give you false hopes, because it’s not easy.” Herger, who is among those who voted for the controversial 2008 bank bailout, railed against Pres- ident Obama’s stimulus bill for failing to prevent rising unemployment and said it is primarily creating gov- ernment jobs. “The story was that we’re looking at 7.25 (per- cent) unemployment,” if no action was taken, he said.

Asked about his position on Meg Whitman, a candi- date for governor in the Republican primary, Herg- er said he agreed with her on the most important issues, and compared a vote for Whitman to his mar- riage. “Thank goodness my wife chose me, even though I’m not perfect,” he said.
