Hazel Flournoy, 93, of Corning, CA passed away peace- Barbara Ann Bryson passed away peacefully on March BOARD Continued from page 1A Final offer letters were sent to all the property owners in early February in an effort to settle the land dispute. Of the five landowners of seven parcels surround- ing the reconstruction area, only one has accept- ed the final offer sent in February, Woods said. “Some are going to say that we haven’t done enough, but we’ve done all we can, all that was required,” Woods said. During the public hear- ing, property owners and tribal representatives responded to Woods’ pre- sentation and proposals. Property owner Lori Pritchett was the first to respond. Her biggest con- cern is that the archaeo- logical issue has been “glossed over,” she said. “The artifacts are my property,” she said. “They were removed and I don’t know where they are at this time.” She also questioned why there weren’t any fur- ther searches done in the area and why the Paskenta band of Nomlaki were the tribe given authority over the artifacts, when some consider the area to have been Wintu land. Robert Burns, the Trib- al Council co-chairman of the Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu Nation, spoke against the assertion that the artifacts belong to the Nomlakis. “This here is Wintu country,” he said. He spoke against the disrespect of burial sites of his people and the poten- FAIR Continued from page 1A Patricia is survived by three sisters: Rosalee Ehrhart of Klamath Falls, Leona Clark of Valley Springs, and Eva Rhoads of Los Molinos; and seven children, 10 grandchil- dren, 12 great-grandchildren. Memorial service will be held Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 11:00 am, at the Tehama Cemetery.

Wes spent most of his life in NorCal. Worked as a Cowboy/Ranch hand as a young man, worked as a Mechanic prior to and during service in the U. S. Army, stationed at Fort Lewis, WA., he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, and honorably dis- charged as a Corp. 1st Class. Later was employed as a Mill worker, retired as a fiberglass gunstock fabricator at Browns Precision in Los Molinos, spent his "retirement" helping all his neighbors irrigate, tend livestock, repair homes, etc., always the first to offer help to anyone, yet, he refused to ask for help for himself.

Williams, daughter Cindi Ram- sey, son Joseph "Pete" Van Dyke, son Corey Van Dyke, 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 – Daily News – 7A tors 1,000 years old.” “I more or less resent the fact that Tehama County is selling us out in this particular area,” he said. Burns suggested the board take time to look into the matter further. “I don’t understand why we have to go into a big hassle and go into pub- lic, eminent domain,” he said. James Hayward Sr., a cultural resource manager for the Redding Rancheria, followed Burns comments. There was not enough consulting with recognized local tribes, he said. “We weren’t told there was a burial there,” he said. “We could have been involved and helped on this project.” Linda Pritchett, mother of Lori and owner in the proposal area, spoke adamantly against the bridge project, alleging that county workers didn’t get her permission to be doing surveying and archaeological work on the land. Other speakers includ- ed Rod Lindsey, a Shasta Lake City Council mem- ber and Native American, and George Purdy, a prop- erty owner off Bowman Road. Woods said the issues over which tribe has the descended authority over the artifacts was deter- mined by the Native American Heritage Com- mission. The historical property survey listed some dis- agreement between the Nomlaki and Wintu tribal boundaries, he said. How- ever, he didn’t object to including the Wintu tribes in the excavation of the site that is incorporated into the project plans. District 4 Supervisor Bob Williams asked Woods if there would be a stop midway through the project should they find any more artifacts or remains and what would happen to them. Far Western Archaeo- logical Society would be the agency that, in the right-of-way acquisition, would in turn give any artifacts found to a curator. California State Universi- ty, Chico would be the final destination, Woods said. Some debate ensued about why the archaeolog- ical excavation would not happen before the project continued. Woods explained that there would be no purpose in continuing with the archeological excavation if the right-of-way was not acquired. Public comment was reopened and Linda Pritchett stepped forward again. “This is not even legal guys,” she said. Hayward said the arti- facts and burial items should not be removed from the area. “They belong back in the ground,” he said. “Not on somebody’s mantle or down at the university.” During a meeting break, Hayward comment- ed further. “We have no say in it and that bothers me,” he said. “Those could be from some of my ances- late,” Dagorret said. Kerstiens said he wonders how long, especially with the governor’s proposal of funding elimination, the Tehama District Fairground can sur- vive. “We’ve got to look at every penny in that checkbook and justify everything that’s spent,” Kerstiens said. “The last thing I want to see is for it to go down under my watch.” The board discussed the renewal The donated items orig- inate from all walks of life in the local community, spanning from Chico north to Redding. The store relies on community mem- bers’ donations of new and used items to fund the Hospice Foundation. In 2010, the store generated $55,000 for the founda- tion. Proceeds are also redirected to the store operations on Main Street in Red Bluff. Store manag- er “The phenomenal clini- cal care patients receive from the North State Catholic Healthcare West facilities is the reason for the generous donations,” Elliot said. “This generosi- ty helps to sustain the Hos- Although the county is doing what it needs to get the bridge done, Hayward is looking to protect any- thing sacred to his people, he said. He believes the Wintu tribe was dominant in the Cottonwood Creek basin and traveled the waterways there, not the Nomlaki tribes. After a series of ques- tions from supervisors to Woods and county coun- cil, the board decided to go ahead with acquiring the right-of-way through eminent domain. Howev- er, they considered that a burial procedure with the Nomlaki tribe would have to be decided as soon as possible to avoid any trou- ble later, should any more remains be unearthed. The conclusion was the bridge needs to be replaced and the county had followed proper pro- cedures to accomplish a plan that is best for all the parties involved. “It appears to me that every effort has been made to acquire the properties,” Williams said. He supported eminent domain as a last resort, he said. The next step in the process will be in the legal department. County coun- sel will file a condemna- tion action and a motion for possession, but the process will take several months. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailyne ws.com. of its lease with the county. While the buildings are owned by the state, the property is owned by the county. The vote was to enter in a contract to renew the lease for 25 years.

The tireless efforts to recycle and go green include edu- cating students by provid- ing books and furniture to SERRF, donating to the local fairs and carnivals, as well as suitcases and cloth- ing to foster children who move from home to home. And now Hospice con- tributes beyond its local boundaries. THE PASSING PARADE Last week, in a rush to judgment regarding being abandoned by the retiring or the dying off of professional “caregivers”… i.e. doctors, lawyers and so forth, I passed hastily over Dentist Fred Godbolt (1893-1980) Here is what I wrote about him in June of 1972: Dr. Godbolt paused, gave me a squirt of water and allowed me to spit. “When do you start your vacation?” I asked. “Well,” he replied, “I’m going to take a permanent one at the end of the month.” “What?” I said, “Retire? Why you’re just hitting your stride…you’re in your prime!” He gazed thoughtfully out the window of his second floor office in the Crocker Bank building, and then murmured, “I just figured that the building was getting old…and the equipment was getting old…” “But that’s only two out of three, “I replied. “Surely you’re not tired of the dental business…and I’m sure you could use the money by continuing to work.” He chuckled, “Well…I think I have put in my time and paid my dues.” And indeed he has. Doc says he opened up shop in this same building in 1931. That was two years after I was born…about the time I was presented as a perfect baby by Dr. Doane at a Rotary Club luncheon. Fred was no stranger to that organization, as he was known as “Number One” throughout his long life. That means, over time, he has looked into more mouths than Painless Parker. And climbed more stairs as well. There are 31 steps to his office and if he climbed them but twice a day, 5 days a week for the past 41 years…and the Park Service says it is a vertical rise of 1945 feet up the trail to Lassen Peak, then the good doctor’s trip to his office over 41 years would be the equivalent of 197 trips to Lassen’s summit. You may want to jot that down for future reference...and the fact that his wife, Martha, was the church organist in town for many years. Dr. Fred is the only dentist I’ve ever had…and my father before me as well. What will I do? I can’t just let a stranger peer into my mouth and deduce I still brush sideways rather than up and down! This is serious. Maybe he could wait another couple of years and we could retire together. Something must be done to head off this premature decision. However, with retirement, Dr. Fred will have time to bow hunt, fish and smell the roses. Perhaps that’s the way it should be. * * * * ** Odd that I wrote the above almost 40 years ago…and now, once again, I am complaining about the premature retirement of Dentist Don Young. Tsk, tsk.
