Members of the Grand Jury are selected each June to serve a year- long term.

Ellen and Howard raised their children in Menlo Park moving to Cottonwood in 1974 where they spent their re- tirement years amongst family and friends.

Robert Thompson Turner, known to his many friends as “Bob,” was born in Schenectady, New York in 1917. The family moved to Eureka, California when Bob was a child. He grew up learning the fine points of construction from his grandfather, Ira Turner, a prominent builder in Eureka. He graduated from high school in Eureka and at- tended Humboldt University. His first marriage was to Clara Mae Haas, who sang with the Metropolitan Opera. They shared a love of music. Turner was an accomplished pianist and singer. The mar- riage ended in divorce. He served in the army in World War II in Cherbourg, France and later entertained family and friends with sto- ries of his experiences there. After the war he married Marilyn Jackel and followed in his Grandfather’s footsteps as a builder of fine homes. Marilyn Turner died of cancer. After retiring and building a home in Red Bluff, Turner was active in the Presbyterian Church where he sang in the choir and met Dorothy Tupman Turner. They were married in 1990. They spend the next 20 years traveling, gardening and helping others. Bob survived cancer and kept going after he was diagnosed with macular degener- ation. He was loyal, determined, kind, and a good hus- band and stepfather, he is missed. Robert Thompson Turner is survived by his wife Doro- thy Tupman Turner, (Lassen House, Red Bluff) his stepchildren Patricia Barbour, Mike Tupman, and Bernice White, nine grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren.

DELTA Continued from page 1A flooding than New Orleans. “For the first time, Cali- fornia has admitted that it has promised more water than nature can provide,” said Jonas Minton, water policy advisor for the Sacra- mento-based Planning and Conservation League. “To restore our ecosystems and provide reliable water sup- ply, we’ll have to signifi- cantly improve how we manage the water that is available.” But Minton said it’s unclear what impact the plan will actually have. Balanc- ing water supply needs with water availability may prove to be a difficult multi-year process, he said, given the sharp political divides over dwindling water supplies. And no progress has been made in identifying the right conveyance system, or who would pay for the new infra- structure. “It doesn’t appear anyone has yet identified a sweet spot combining economics, environment and political feasibility,” Minton said. The final Delta Plan will include recommendations for some type of canal or another water conveyance system, which will be devel- oped through a separate fed- eral and state initiative called the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. But in order to be included in the Delta Plan, that second step must be approved by state wildlife and water agencies and can’t violate other laws meant to protect wildlife. Estimates for building a canal around the delta range as high as $9 billion, while an underground pipeline could cost as much as $11.7 billion.

An active chamber member since 2004, she served as vice president in 2006 before being elected presi- dent. Morales said if she could clone anyone it would be Brewer, the youngest person to be elected mayor in the history of the race. “I’d like to thank every- one who supported my cam- paign,” Brewer said. “Los Molinos is heading in a good direction with the revi- talization project and the chamber. We need to keep foot, opaque fence around outdoor gardens, which must be set 100 feet away from the property line. The county is not sur- prised an appeal will be filed, as that was what the plaintiffs’ attorney has said all along, but it is con- fident the Third District Court of Appeals will sup- port Scheuler’s decision, Assistant County Counsel Arthur Wylene said. “Everyone has a view as to what the law is and a right to challenge an opposing view,” Wylene said. “That’s why we have courts for that, but in this case they’re wrong.” Browne said plaintiffs did go into the case know- ing they were going to appeal because they knew there was no chance in the local court. “The local attitude is so appalling and biased we knew the only way we were going to win was to get it into the court of appeals,” Browne said. “Justice will be done. We have every confidence that the appellate court will rule on our side.” In the meantime, the county’s ordinance will remain in effect.

Admission is free for spectators. “The public is invited to come out and watch some great rodeoing,” McCarley said.

WE SAID in October of 1965 One evening, during dinner, son Brandon told us of his elementary school football exploits, and then asked me to tell of my high school pigskin prowess. Always eager to haul out the old press clippings, I told my enthralled audience about the time Red Bluff was playing Oroville in a driving rain storm, and my mother handed me an umbrella so I would not get wet sitting on the bench. And then there was the episode of the shoes. We were playing Susanville in that fair city, and Jack Robinson, our 1st string lineman, broke the cleats off his football shoes. Line coach Spike Hunter walked up and down the bench and bellowed, “Who’s the substitute for that position.” I jumped up and signaled that I was that man. He eyed me critically and made a memorable decision. “Quick, Minch, give your shoes to Jack!” Needless to say, our team, with my shoes, won the game. Such are the glories of the gridiron. * * * * * * Dr. Bill Martin and I engaged Carl Coleman and Dick Hallock in a tennis doubles match…and we came in second. All I can say about Mr. Hallock’s game, is that he returned one shot with his racquet held behind his back! * * * * * Over 50 years of serving Tehama County Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 is four. She had gotten off to a bad start in our horsey set while riding Prince David, who was only 38 inches tall, and had a perfect disposition. However, he accidentally walked under my tall American Saddlebred when she was astride. She was knocked to the ground, and the incident convinced her to stay out of the saddle for about a year. When Madalyn finally mustered up enough courage to ride David again, she got along without mishap and was really enjoying the outdoor life…until it was time for her baby sister Maralyn to ride. We purchased another and bigger pony for Madalyn and named him Sky Red and the two began a battle for control. She spent more time in the air than in the saddle. He would buck her off in every conceivable way, and when he tired of that, he would dash under a low limbed prune tree and knock her off again. There was a lot of dirt on her face and tears in her eyes before last weekend when she finally took control and Sky Red knew he had met his match. For his conduct, the pony received a new bridle and for her valor under fire and over horse, Madalyn was promised a toy car for her Tammy doll. Editor’s note: 46 years later, confined to a wheelchair, her courage was ably demonstrated when a long deteriorating bone condition in her foot caused her doctor to suggest that the foot should be removed. With little hesitation, she agreed, knowing that with a prosthesis, she could walk again…and I suppose ride a pony if she were so inclined.
