But the temporary ban cites a number of other concerns, including that the same case, the pending Qualified Patients v. City of Anaheim, has not yet resolved whether cities and counties have the right to implement a permanent ban. The ban argues large medical marijuana growths and dispensaries are the targets of violent robberies. “Facilities which dis- pense marijuana have the potential to cause serious harmful effects...to citi- zens living, visiting, shop- ping, conducting business or otherwise present in the area,” according to the ordinance. The ordinance cites a violent burglary in Los Molinos targeting mari- “We had more of everything,” said Chamber of Commerce Presi- dent Valanne Cardenas, whose orga- nization sponsors the event.

Poetry contest A $1,000 grand prize is being offered to the last poet standing in a poetry contest sponsored by Rainbow Fine Arts. Poems of 21 lines or fewer on any subject and in any style will be judged by the contest director Dr. Jack Carroll. “We love encouraging poets,” Carroll said. “We trust this contest will produce exciting results!” Stuffed Pork NEW YORK (AP) — Adnan Zulfiqar, a graduate student, former U.S. Senate aide and American-born son of Pakistani immi- grants, will soon give the first khutbah, or sermon, of the fall semester at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. His topic has presented itself in the daily headlines and blog posts over the disputed mosque near ground zero. What else could he choose, he says, after a summer remembered not for its reasoned debate, but for epithets, smears, even violence? As he writes, Zulfiqar frets over the potential fall- out and what he and other Muslim leaders can do about it. Will young Mus- lims conclude they are sec- ond-class citizens in the U.S. now and always? ‘‘They’re already strug- gling to balance, ‘I’m American, I’m Muslim,’ and their ethnic heritage. It’s very disconcerting,’’ said Zulfiqar, 32, who worked for former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland, a Georgia Democ- rat, and now serves Penn’s campus ministry. ‘‘A con- troversy like this can make them radical or become more conservative in how they look at things or how they fit into the American picture.’’ Whatever the outcome, the uproar over a planned Islamic center near the World Trade Center site is shaping up as a signal event in the story of American Islam. Strong voices have The contest is free to enter and open to poets of any age. Fifty prizes totaling more than $5,000 will be awarded. Entries must be received by Sept. 15 and may be submitted by mail to Free Poetry Contest, 7308 Heritage Dr., Mt. Ver- non, Ind., 47620 or at www.rainbowpoetry.com. Those sending entries should include their name and address on the same page as the poem. A winners list will be sent to all entrants. emerged from outside the Muslim community. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been stead- fast in his support for the project. Jon Stewart nightly mocks the bigotry that the protest unleashed. ‘‘The sentiment, say, five years ago among many Muslims, especially among many young Muslims, was that, ‘We’re in this all by ourselves,’’’ said Omer Mozaffar, a university lec- turer in Chicago who leads Quran study groups as a buffer between young peo- ple and the extremist preachers on YouTube. ‘That has changed signifi- cantly. There have been a lot of people speaking out on behalf of Muslims.’’ Eboo Patel, an American Muslim leader and founder of Interfaith Youth Core, a Chicago nonprofit that pro- motes community service and religious pluralism, said Muslims are unfortunately experiencing what all immi- grant groups endured in the U.S. before they were fully accepted as American. Brandeis University histori- an Jonathan D. Sarna has noted that Jews faced a sim- ilar backlash into the 1800s when they tried to build synagogues, which were once banned in New York. Patel believes American Muslims are on the same difficult but inevitable path toward integration. ‘‘I’m not saying this is going to be happy,’’ Patel said. ‘‘But I’m extremely optimistic.’’ Yet, the overwhelming feeling is that the controver- sy has caused widespread damage that will linger for years. American Muslim lead- ers say the furor has emboldened opposition groups to resist new mosques around the coun- try. Rhetoric from some politicians that lumps all Muslims with terrorists will depress the Muslim vote, analysts say. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, said in opposing the Islamic center that, ‘‘America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization.’’ – Thank You – thanks to the generosity of these local businesses & individuals. • ROSE HABLITZEL, ENROLLED AGENT • RED BLUFF INTERIORS • LP BUILDING PRODUCTS • STATE FARM INS, KEITH THOMAS • TEHAMA ESTATES • CALIFORNIA WALNUT CO., INC. • AIRPORT AUTO REPAIR • KAY STEPHENS, MD • QRC D NEWSAILY RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U N T Y S I N C E 1 8 8 5 • GREENWASTE OF TEHAMA • BRETNEY SUTTERFIELD • HOYT-COLE CHAPEL OF THE FLOWERS • TEHAMA COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS • SUSANNE WHALEN, DMD INC • PLACER TITLE CO.
