By P. Solomon Banda The Associated Press OSO, WaSh. » The search for survivors of a deadly Wash- ington state mudslide grew Monday to include scores of people who were still unac- counted for as the death toll from the wall of trees, rocks and debris that swept through a rural community rose to at least 14. In struggle to find loved ones, family members and neighbors used chain saws and their bare hands to dig through wreckage that was tangled by the mud into bro - ken piles. Authorities said they were looking for more than 100 people who had not been heard from since the disas - ter about 55 miles northeast of Seattle. They predicted that the number of missing would decline as more peo - ple are found safe. But the startling initial length of the list added to the anxieties two days after a mile-wide layer of soft earth crashed onto a cluster of homes at the bottom of a river valley. "The situation is very grim," Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Tra - vis Hots said, stressing that authorities are still in res- cue mode and are holding out hope. But he noted: "We have not found anyone alive on this pile since Saturday." Snohomish County sher - iff's spokeswoman Shari Ire- ton said Monday afternoon search and rescue crews discovered an additional six bodies, bringing the number fatalities to at least 14. About 30 houses were destroyed, and the debris blocked a mile-long stretch of state highway near Ar - lington. Cor y Kuntz a nd sev- era l volunteers worked Monday with chain saws to cut through the roof of his uncle's house, which was swept about 150 yards from its previous location. Kuntz said his aunt, Linda McPherson, was killed. He and the others pulled out files, his aunt's wallet and a box filled with pictures and slides. The mudslide struck Sat - urday morning, a time when most people are at home. WaShingtOn Mudslide death toll 14 ; se ar ch c on ti nu es Ted S.

The Associated Press ROSEViLLE » With no end in sight to the state drought, a Northern California city will ask residents to reduce water use by 20 percent. The Sacramento Bee says Roseville will impose the cutbacks on Monday. While the city is call - ing the reduction "manda- tory," the newspaper says water customers will not be hit with a surcharge or penalty if they do not meet that target. Roseville, the largest city in Placer County, operates its own utility, which serves most of the 127,000 resi - dents with supplies from Folsom Lake. Off icials backtracked on a February proposal that would have used sur - charges to compel reduc- tions Water conservationists criticized Roseville's ap- proach, saying that without an enforcement or penalty structure, customers were unlikely to heed the call. But city leaders expect that education and out - reach will translate into cutbacks. dROught Ro se vi ll e de cl ar es water cutbacks The Associated Press SaCRaMEntO » The state of California has agreed to mail voter registration cards to nearly 4 million people who have signed up for insurance through its health care exchange after a threat of a lawsuit, the American Civil Liberties Union said Monday. The ACLU of California and others said they threat - ened to sue the state for fail- ure to comply with the Na- tional Voter Registration Act, also called the Motor Voter Act. The law is de- signed to make it easier for voters to register by requir- ing opportunities to apply at offices that provide pub- lic services. The ACLU said Covered California had provided no opportunities since it launched Oct. 1. The mail - ings begin Monday and are to be completed by May 5. The 19-page agreement also commits the state to develop procedures by this fall to ensure that all insur - ance applicants have an op- portunity to register to vote, whether they apply in per- son, online, by phone or mail. The agreement was ap- proved by Covered Califor- nia's board and signed by Sec- retary of State Debra Bowen and Peter Lee, the program's executive director. hEaLth and VOting St at e to s en d vo te r fo rm s to insurance enrollees TAMPA, Florida — If Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone leaned over the counter and whispered, "Do you have anything that can improve my memory," he would be a rich man today. It's a question he's heard countless times in his 45-year career. He has seen families torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mental decline, a silent condition that threatens the independent lifestyle seniors hold so dearly. In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slow mental decline, he finally found the answer in the pages of an obscure medical journal. "I was studying materials about memory loss and cognitive decline, and there it was, right in front of me... evidence of a real memory pill!" "At the time, I was an anchor for a medical program in Los Angeles. I was so excited that I contacted the author of the research and invited him to come on the program as a guest." "I wanted millions of listeners to learn about this important new development!" Dr. Steiner's guest that night, US researcher, Josh Reynolds, observed a common 'disturbance' in aging brains, one that may be the primary cause of degrading memory and concentration powers. Gasping for Air? He saw evidence that older brains were 'gasping for additional oxygen,' a condition caused by poor blood circulation. "Insufficient circulation," says Steiner, "reduces oxygen to the brain, a sign of premature mental decline. This also restricts the supply of critical brain specific antioxidants and nutrients." Reduced blood flow has another brain-numbing effect: it slashes the number of neurotransmitters in the brain, the messenger molecules used by the brain to help form thoughts, retrieve memories, and help its owner stay focused and on-task. Fewer neurotransmitters circulating in the brain translates to concentration and memory woes. So, Reynolds and a team of scientists developed a natural, drug- free compound shown in research to prompt aging brains to begin to 'think and react,' younger. Tired Brains Snap Awake! "It helps tired, forgetful brains to 'snap awake," says Dr. Steiner. "This natural memory pill is to your aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs," he says. It works so well, explains Stein- er, that the participants in a peer- reviewed, international research study not only saw improvements in their memory, mood and concentration, but they also regained lost brainpower equal to that of someone 15 years younger, all in a 30-day time period! This made perfect sense to Dr. Steiner, who knew instinctively that age-related memory p r o b l e m s m a y b e correctable. After the Show After the show, Dr. Steiner confided to his guest that he was fearful of not being able to recall certain subject matter for his popular radio show. "He gave me a couple of bottles and instructed me on its use," says Dr. Steiner. "Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear!" Feeding an Older Brain The formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins. It also helps restore depleted neurotransmitter levels, while feeding the aging mind with brain- specific nutrients and protective antioxidants. Steiner was so impressed that he began recommending the formula to his pharmacy customers. "I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommend- ing it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!" Pharmacy Best-Seller "It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it." "It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula." "A rookie doctor right out of medical school can set a broken bone, or treat a rash or runny nose," explains Dr. Steiner. "But he is often clueless when it comes to helping a patient who can't remember to take his medicine, or forgets where he's parked his car, or even worse, foolishly leaves the oven on at night." "With this simple, drug-free formula, we finally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective. And you don't need a prescription either!" Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehen- sive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence exami- nation, a daunting examination that tests a candidate's mastery of pharmacy law. "I began taking the natural memory compound for two weeks prior to the test, and I passed with flying colors!" "The recall I personally experienced was fantastic," says Steiner. Many frontline healthcare professionals are embracing this natural remedy for three reasons. First, the formula was submit- ted to the rigors of a placebo-con- trolled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, using the same FDA- sanctioned brain testing protocols used to qualify prescription-sold cognitive medicines. "The findings for improved brain function were shocking," says Steiner. Then, the results were shared with the world in a well-respected, peer- reviewed medical journal. #1 Selling Brain Health Pill Thirdly, this natural, memory- boosting wonder has passed the toughest yardstick of all – scrutiny from the US consumer. Word has spread; in a very short time, Reynolds' memory-booster has quickly become the #1-sell- ing brain health supplement in the United States. Dr. Steiner estimates that as much as 10 million single-doses have been used with excellent results by 'lots of forgetful folks.' Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory compound with bolstering his confiden ce. "It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more confident every day." Carey S.* reports, "I feel so much more focused and with the new energy I'm now ready to tackle the things I've been putting off for years!" Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a night-and-day difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory was declining at an "alarming rate." "I was about to consult a n e u r o l o g i s t when I read a newspaper article about it." "It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later, even my husband was impressed with my improved memory. And I am very happy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!" "I highly recommend it," says Dr. Steiner. "This drug-free compound is the perfect supplement for increasing one's brain power. If it worked for me, it can work for you!" Get a Free 30-Day Supply of this Pharmacist-Recommended Memory Formula!
