Overall 37.76 percent of women will suffer some form of cancer, as will 44.29 percent of men. “What’s cool is the idea of playing for somebody that has been affected by cancer,” freshmen coach John Wheeler said. “It’s cool to see the effect they’ve had.” While all the players have pledged their seasons to raising awareness, to some the idea has become even more personal. Freshman Mayson Tru- jillo, who’s grandfather died of cancer, has dedi- cated her season to her mother, who was recently diagnosed and also works at the school.

We definitely care about our teams more now than in past years.” Even the youngest players have sensed the unity. “I feel like they’re try- ing to help us out and try- ing to get us better,” Tru- jillo said of the upper- classmen.

OPENS Continued from page 1A and treats. Guests Randy and Bar- bra Phelps, of Old Shasta, were headed to Reno and changed their minds, they said. Instead, they drove to Manton for a day of wine tasting. Having helped the Liv- ingstons with hydroseed- ing in the past, the Phelpses were glad to see the winery finally open. “It’s nice to actually be able to buy wine this time,” Randy Phelps said. “And it sure is pretty up here.” Manton has six active wineries — Cedar Crest, Shasta Daisy Vineyard, Mt. Tehama Winery, Ringtail Vineyards, Alger Vineyards and Indian Peak Vineyards. Because of a suitable micro-cli- mate, similar to Napa Val- ley, grapes grow well in the area. Just down the road at Ringtail Vineyards Satur- day afternoon, Robert Carrillo and Donna Delga- do were pleased with how the wine and chocolates event was going. “We couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Delgado said as Carrillo was helping a guest carry cases of wine to his vehi- cle. Offering specials on their wines and treats from Vivian Weyll, a Brazilian friend and owner of Cocoa Mania, Delgado and Car- rillo were hoping for at least 100 visitors Satur- day, Delgado said. It was the second year Ringtail Vineyards partici- pated in the event. “It’s a great romantic getaway for couples, friends and family,” Del- gado said. Manton is fairly close to Red Bluff and Redding, but still remote enough to feel like a vacation, she said. Some people told her the area resembles what Napa Valley or Sonoma was like years ago. Besides the wine and chocolates, the Manton Grange played host to five-course dinners for $20 Saturday and Sunday nights. Further down the road, Julia’s Diner hosted a prime rib dinner both nights. Just before the din- ner kicked off Saturday, a Harley Davidson owners group met for lunch after a drive up from Redding and some wine sampling at the vineyards. The converted manu- factured home with built- on rooms and decks is also a mercantile. The small diner, decked with historic rodeo pictures and rusty, old cookware on the walls, plays roommates to a newly re-opened craft store. The one-room shop is filled with items made by locals, such as scented soaps made by the nearby Monastery of St. John, knitted scarves, painted and carved gourds and custom jewelry. For the weekend, the mercantile sold plates of magic cook- ie bars and Valentine’s Day-themed boxes of fudge. Back at Cedar Crest, neighbors and friends mingled with new guests as wine flowed and sold into the afternoon. Jim Livingston expects to make some 500 cases of his own wine, with 12 bot- tles to a case, he said. “Mr. Wine-stein,” as his wife referred to him, designs his own labels and bottles the wine on-site. Cedar Crest is one of the few vineyards in the area that makes white wine in stainless steel tanks, he said. With all the technical equipment that a big win- ery would have, stored in one room with storage tanks and boxed cases of wine, the vineyard oper- ates small-scale but up to code. Wines offered by the glass or by the bottle included Syrah, Viognier and blends. The Manton wineries are all located along For- ward Road and open at varying hours year-round. Right now, the vines are in hibernation, but by fall, vintners expect a nice har- vest. In May, they will be hosting Cinco De Wine-O.

PG&E may have lost data SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A newspaper is reporting that a move nearly two decades ago by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to com- puterize its records may have led to the company los- ing crucial information about its pipeline system. The San Francisco Chronicle reports in its Sun- day print edition that since acquiring a new computer program in 1993, PG&E has struggled with its data- base. After installing the sys- tem, information had to be entered into the system from paper documents. The Chronicle says some key information was some- times unavailable or difficult to interpret, possibly explaining why PG&E offi- cials were not aware the pipeline in San Bruno that exploded in September had been built with a seam.
