Neither Turri nor his neighbors support the festi- val, he said. “There’s not one person in our area that is happy about this,” Turri said. In addition to disagreeing with the subject matter, Turri had practical concerns about wildfires. He called for an Environmental Impact Report similar to the kind required under state law for development projects, and threatened legal action. “If one blade of grass was never without a pet, sometimes two or three. She was a lover of cats; however she has room in her heart for all animals. Peggy will be missed by those who knew her, and those whose lives she touched. In loving memory there goes burnt on my property, and that goes for my neigh- bors as well, there will be a lawsuit,” Turri said. Others said they feared trespassing or heat exhaus- tion. They cited a video on the website that depicts the host property with ponds and green grass and claims the Paskenta Road property is near a river.

ARNO MELGER Mar 11-1916 - July 10-2010 Arno passed away in Red Bluff, CA., on July 10, 2010. He was 94. Arno was born March 11, 1916 and raised of German ancestry in Meeme, Wis- consin to William and Em- ma Melger. Growing up on the family farm with his brother and two sisters, he learned a lot of handyman skills that would later be useful. In 1941 he met and fell in love with LaVerne Bolle, they later married in Kiel, Wisconsin on October 11th 1941. A marriage that lasted 67 years. The couple moved to Southern Califor- nia in 1952, then to Red Bluff in 1972, which they called home for 38 years. Arno was in the Army during WWII. During his tour of duty in Europe and surrounding areas he was a translator, mechanic and ammunition transporter. Prior to his service in the military he learned to build silos on local farms. Fol- lowing his four years in the military, Arno became a block and brick mason. A very hard worker, he crafted his skill from Los Angeles to the Oregon bor- der. So avid a brick mason that he was called the "Cor- ner man" while working on the Tehama County Jail ex- pansion. Arno was a devoted fami- ly man, and husband. Very rarely was he seen without his loving wife at his side. He enjoyed the outdoors, picking blackberries, tend- ing to his garden and grow- ing fruit trees. Spending time with his grandchildren was another one of his fa- vorite pastimes, going fish- ing and making apple cider were two of his favorites. He was active in the LDS Church for over 30 years. Arno will be greatly missed by family and friends. He was preceded in death by brother Oscar and sis- ters; Erna and Elsie and his devoted wife LaVerne, in 2008. He is survived by his chil- dren, Elayne Ferguson, Lar- ry Melger (Anne), Janell Teisseire (Leonard), grand children Wayne D., Jessica Melger, Stacy Tumidanski (Mike), Steve Teisseire (Ste- phanie) and great- grandchildren; Zack and Ethan Lane, Trinity and Dy- lan Tumidanski, Bronson and Belle Teisseire.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Arno Melger’s name to The Church of Je- sus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Red Bluff. Thomas Dale Young, 67 years of age of Elk Bend, Idaho passed away on July 1, 2010 at his home. Tom was born in Chico, Califor- nia on June 12, 1943 the son of Fred and Lucy (Rosas) Young and spent a happy childhood in Stirling City, California until the family moved to Red Bluff, California where Tom at- tended local schools. Tom worked in local mills until he found his true calling with the U.S. Forest Service. When he retired, his interests were fishing, hunting, camping and clas- sic cars. He loved his family: wife Susan, mother Lucy, sister Wanda Birdsong, sons: Bobby (deceased) and Craig, daughters: Bonnie, Kelly and Kary; 6 grandchil- dren; 5 great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews and dear friends far and wide. Private family services will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Jones & Casey Funeral Home of Sal- mon, Idaho. Calls to property owner Susie Lawing were not returned Tuesday afternoon. Event Producer Jason Gallagher said he and Law- ing have been trying to reach neighbors and businesses. Together, they have negoti- ated property rental agree- ments, water purchases and even convinced the local grocer to stock up on health food in preparation for the festival. “We are trying to reach out to as many (people) as we can, and if we didn’t get everybody, that was an over- sight,” Gallagher said. The festival will not fea- ture pyrotechnics and has a strict “no fire” policy, Gal- lagher said. Plans call for firebreaks around the property, teams of local, volunteer firefight- ers and fire trucks, all of which will be complement- ed by new water systems installed specifically for the occasion, Gallagher said. Gallagher promised a paid, professional security team of 25 and a force of 500 volunteers to guard against trespassing. He downplayed the web- site video of the property. “It’s just a video we took on a phone,” he said. “We’re not trying to misrepresent anything. Almost everyone knows this area is hot.” As to the impact of the festival, Gallagher said he LASSEN DALE DEAN COULTER Dale Dean Coulter passed away Sunday, July 11, 2010 at his home in Gerber. He was born on May 8, 1929. Dale was a Veteran of the Korean War and was a re- tired Millwright for LP.

The final step will construct a trail linking the Manzani- ta Creek Trail to the peak parking lot and improve the Man- zanita Creek trailhead parking. During trail work, closures of the Lassen Peak Trail are possible at any time without notice. Most of the work on the trail will take place Monday through Thursday. On these days, the trail will be closed at the Grandview area, about 1.3 miles from the peak parking area. Once the trail opens for the season, it will be open to the summit Friday through Sunday, except while the California Conservation Corps assists with the restoration July 28 to Aug. 4, Aug. 11 to 18 and Aug. 25 to Sept. 1.

NEXT Continued from page 1A In 2003 the monks broke ground on the reconstruc- tion of the chapter house from a 12th century Span- ish, Cistercian abbey with stones that had been trans- ported to California by newspaperman William Randolph Hearst in the 1930s. In October of 2008 a major milestone was reached with the completion of the chapter house’s extra- ordinary Gothic portal, and in 2009 the stone masons installed 800-year-old stones onto the chapter house’s interior walls and erected columns. With help from the Hind Foundation stone masons are installing stone arches in four of the six bays of the vaulted ceiling this year. In 2011 the plan is to finish construction on the chapter house interior. For information on visit- ing the Abbey of New Clair- vaux and seeing the progress of reconstruction effort, or for information on how to contribute to its completion, call 839-9936. The Abbey of New Clair- vaux is a men’s Cistercian, or Trappist, monastery that was founded in Vina in 1955. Its roots reach back to the first Cistercian monastery in Citeaux, France in 1098. The Abbey is at Seventh and C streets in Vina on his- toric property once owned by Peter Lassen and later by Leland Stanford. For additional project information and to view new construction photos, visit www.sacredstones.org. For more information about the abbey’s monastic community, go to: www.newclairvaux.org. expected to bring a major economic boon to Tehama County. Parts of the festival celebrate organic, local farming and the crowd could bring in hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. “There’s going to be thousands of people that come through the restau- rants...clothing stores, gro- cery stores,” Gallagher said. But those benefits may not be enough to convince the Planning Department to ease its requirements as it considers the second major event to fall under a new fes- tival ordinance. The first, the World Hemp Expo Extravaganja 2010 in May, was only issued a permit after a long, tangled back-and-forth between organizers and the county, which resulted in a new ordinance from scratch. By the time the festival was through, it violated sev- eral permit conditions. But the county agreed not to penalize organizers in light of the fact it granted the per- mit at the last minute. This time the county may be less forgiving. Planning Director George Robson admitted that, like WHEE 2010, it would be impractical for the county to stop the Mystic Garden Party once the event is under way. The county will only try and break up the event if some immediate, life-threatening hazard, like a wildfire, is present. But the county reserves the right to take legal action against organizers during and after the festival if they do not comply with a coun- ty-issued permit. Like the WHEE festival, Robson is looking to staff from other departments, including CalFire, to weigh in on permit conditions. Staff recommendations are due Monday, and a per- mit may be issued shortly after. “There’s going to be a bunch of conditions,” Rob- son said. Gallagher said his opera- tion’s conditions are fine but said he would be happy to work with the county in the days leading up to the festi- val.
