When event organizers first applied to the county for a festival permit, Flournoy opposition mobi- lized within days. A handful of neighbors quickly banded together to protest at a Board of Supervisors meeting before the county denied organizers a permit for legal and safety reasons. In Manton, some nearby resi- dents reached welcomed the festival to its new location. “I think it’s wonderful that we’re having people up here that can enjoy our community,” Corey Livingston said.

BARN Continued from page 1A said in a letter was an acceptable way of handling the situation. Several people said Tuesday, while May is very good at her job, she couldn’t be everywhere at once. Mike Collins, a member of the Junior Livestock Committee, speak- ing for himself and not the commit- tee, said asking leaders to police themselves wouldn’t work. “If someone’s not out there con- sistently it doesn’t help,” Collins said. “I’ve seen it myself. Everyone supports Nancy because she does a hell of a job, but Nancy leaves and they laugh behind her back.” Jeannie Stroing said there wasn’t so much a need for a barn boss as someone to enforce the rules, adding that she has seen, at least in the steer barn, a lot of people have friends and family or even profes- sionals fitting and grooming the ani- mals. “It’s upsetting to see non- exhibitors helping,” said Stroing’s daughter, Stacey Stroing, who has been showing steers for seven years. “A barn boss would level the play- ing field for all.” Marcia Wilson, who has been a STANCE Continued from page 1A ers were tired of career politicians where ‘‘every- thing comes down to party ideology.’’ ‘‘The GOP isn’t going to send me to Washington, D.C.; the people of Cali- welfare fraud within law enforcement Cohen could recall, he said Tuesday.

No further information leave following was released Tuesday. Others found the news too new to form an opinion. Kay Zimmerman, also of Manton, said she knew too little about the event to weigh in for or against it. Phyllis Penticoff offered some of the strongest opposition to the Mys- tic Garden Party. “They’re just ramming it down our throat, basically,” Penticoff said. Traffic, fire dangers and the last- minute event notice topped the list of wrongdoings for Penticoff. “When we have the Apple Festi- val here, the streets are lined, but that’s a different crowd,” she said. Cindy Collins, owner of Water Wheel Park, said the festival was larger than most she had hosted before. But festival producers showed foresight and had gone to great lengths to prepare, Collins said. “I’m beyond impressed with these guys,” she said. In the meantime, the public is advised to take some precaution when in mountain lion country. Here are tips from Fish and Game on how to stay safe. • Do not hike, bike or jog alone. • Avoid hiking or jog- ging when mountain lions are most active during Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailyn ews.com. Organizers have long touted their own medical and fire suppression teams and were prepared to pur- chase tens of thousands of gallons of water in preparation for the festi- val. On top of that, the park maintains its own fire breaks, irrigation sys- tems and grass cut short by the park’s miniature horses — enough to pass local CalFire inspection, Collins said. The result may yet be the best scenario for the mix of yoga work- shops, concerts and ceremonies. Water Wheel Park is so lush the event may come back next year, Lindsey said. “Sometimes, things can seem darkest before dawn,” he said.

Wilson touched on preventing diseased animals from infecting oth- ers by saying that the best way to put a stop to it is to have animals checked before they are unloaded. Spring Severson, parent of a 4-H participant who has shown goats and sheep over the last six years, works at the 4-H office and said a barn boss is not needed. “The more people in the puzzle, the murkier it gets,” Severson said. “It’s nice to have it set up with just one person to go to.” Severson read letters from three people who are 4-H club and project leaders, including Debbie Spangler with Bend-Jelly 4-H, Cindy Dick- son with Olive 4-H and April Scholzen with Westside 4-H. All three leaders wrote highly of May, saying she had always responded to their problems in a prompt and fair manner.

Most of the time it’s an adult (that’s a problem). I spend 95 per- cent of my time the week of fair talking to parents.” Exhibitors get two verbal warn- ings before they are asked to leave, but in all the time she has been supervisor — even when her chil- dren, who are 32 and 30, were showing — May said there hasn’t been a big problem. “There’s never been anyone writ- ten up,” May said. “I give warnings and the second warning is that they will have to load up and leave.

About 10,550 acres of the Point Reyes peninsula were used for coastal artillery and U.S. Navy dive-bombing practice. The land became part of the federal park in 1962. Officials closed part of east- bound Highway 12 shortly after the fire began, causing traffic to back up for miles in both directions. The fire did not threaten any buildings and was under control by 6 p.m. Yahnke said the cause was under investigation.
