Red Bluff Rotary, Red Bluff Sunrise Rotary and Tehama County Cattle- Women hosted a Celebra- tion of the Life of Una Jor- dan, at the Cone Kimball Plaza on the evening of Thursday, June 19th with many friends from the com- munity attending. Many stories were shared about the remarkable lady who was a friend of Eunice Shriver when the Special Olympics was started, and Una was present to help. I remember Una at the Flower Boutique when Linda and later Kendra had a summer job deliver- ing flowers, and later when she arranged the floral ar- rangements and bouquets for the weddings. When I was installed as California CattleWomen president the executive board wore corsages of Al- stroemeria from the Flower Boutique, instead of the usual rose buds or carna- tions. They were beautiful corsages. Tornadoesdamage feedlots, farms The media has shown the twin tornadoes and the dev- astation they left behind in the small town of Pilger, Ne- braska many times, but no mention about the wreck- age they left in the nearby feedlots and farms. WOWT.com, June 18, 2014 update: "Once the massive storm smashed through Pilger, there was more destruction ahead. "About the time we walked outside we seen it coming across the county line," said Michael Henrich, who works and lives on a feed- lot north of Wisner. They spent the morning try- ing to round up the cattle. "They got to get loaded onto trucks." Many were injured and he estimates that half of the 3,200 on the property didn't make it. "Michael rode it out with a co-worker in the storm cellar. "It came right over the top of us. It sucked the cellar door right up and we were hanging on to some steel pipes so we wouldn't get pulled out. There was so much dust we could hardly breathe. Thank God noth- ing came down in there. We got up against the wall as close as we could so that if debris came down we didn't get impaled or something." "A half mile from the feedlot, we noticed a marker at the end of a lane noting a home that, until Monday, had been in the family since the 1870s. It's gone. Corn fields have been stripped. Debris is spread for miles. "The feedlot owners plan to rebuild. As for Michael Henrich, he says it's hard to get the image he saw from the storm cellar out of his head. "We leaned forward and you could look straight up and see right in the mid- dle of the tornado, the de- bris flying right over us," he said." Pilger, Neb (KMTV) June 16, 2014 — "Monday's twist- ers killed more than 300 cattle at a farm just north of Pilger. "The owners of Her- man Dinklage, Inc. says the storm also destroyed their barn, equipment and house. Monday night, they were in the process of mov- ing the hundreds of surviv- ing cattle to a safe place where they can have food and shelter. " The damage to their herd alone will be exten- sive; each cow ( really a steer or heifer) is $ 2,000. They did not have an exact number of cows killed, but said it was more than 300." The Siouxlandmatters. com/ story by Rachael Krause on June 17th men- tioned the Dinklage feedlot. "The tornado's destruc- tive path obliterated a feed- lot near Wisner, Nebraska on Monday. "What remains of the Herman Dinklage feedlot in rural Nebraska is mostly rubble after Monday's tor- nadoes ripped through the area. The tornado's destruc- tive path left downed power lines, dead cattle and build- ings leveled. "David Dinklage was in- side the basement bath- room of his home on the feedlot on Monday with seven others when the tor- nado hit. "The tornado skipped over much of the house but the rest of the farm wasn't so lucky. "Some of these places are like a war zone and unfor- tunately some of the ani- mals were killed," said Jeff Dinklage, owner of Herman Dinklage Inc. Feedlot. "Jeff Dinklage said 90 percent of the feedlot was destroyed by the twister and many of the animals killed. "We have a veterinarian out here and we're taking care of the animals in the most humane way we can," Jeff Dinklage said. "He said he's grate- ful people weren't hurt in the storm but still bro- kenhearted over what was lost.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON Agricul- ture Secretary Tom Vilsack Tuesday announced that the United States and Hong Kong have agreed on new terms and conditions that pave the way for expanded exports of U.S. beef and beef products to Hong Kong. "This is great news for American ranchers and beef companies," said Vil- sack. "Hong Kong is already the fourth largest market for U.S. beef and beef prod- uct exports, with sales there reaching a historic high of $823 million in 2013. We look forward to expanded opportunities there for the U.S. beef industry now that all trade restrictions are lifted," Vilsack said. Under the new terms, Hong Kong will permit the import of the full range of U.S. beef and beef prod- ucts, consistent with access prior to December 2003. The new terms became ef- fective Tuesday. Previously, only deboned beef from all cattle and certain bone-in beef from cattle less than 30 months of age could be shipped from the United States to Hong Kong. Ear- lier this year, Mexico, Uru- guay, Ecuador and Sri Lanka also lifted their long- standing restrictions to pro- vide full access for U.S. beef and beef products. "Last year, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) granted the United States negligible risk status for BSE, further affirming the safety of U.S. beef and beef products," said Vilsack. "We welcome this move by Hong Kong and will continue our ef- forts to break down barriers and expand access for high- quality, safe and wholesome U.S. food and agricultural products in Hong Kong and around the world." In December 2003, Hong Kong banned U.S. beef and beef products following the detection of a bovine spongiform encephalopa- thy (BSE)-positive animal in the United States (one of only four cases ever discov- ered in America). In Decem- ber 2005, Hong Kong par- tially reopened its market to allow imports of deboned U.S. beef from cattle aged 30 months or younger pro- duced under a special pro- gram for Hong Kong and expanded access to include certain bone-in cuts from cattle less than 30 months of age in February 2013. Experts in the United States and countries around the world have con- firmed that U.S. beef is safe, with extremely low risk of BSE. There has never been a recorded case of BSE transmission to a human through American beef. TRADE Hong Kong reopens for US beef exports and trade The Associated Press SAN MATEO A San Fran- cisco congresswoman un- veiled legislation Friday that would regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way as typical tobacco products, accusing the e-cigarette in- dustry of targeting children and teenagers with its mar- keting. "With flavors like gummy bear, cotton candy, and chocolate cake, our kids are literally vaping these things up," said U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, who announced the proposal outside the San Francisco General Hospital emergency room. "With ads using sex, our teens are lust- ing after these objects." The legislation would re- strict television advertise- ments of electronic ciga- rettes as was done for to- bacco, a statement from Speier's spokeswoman, Ka- trina Rill, said. On Monday, Speier plans to introduce the bill in the House to reg- ulate the devices that heat a liquid nicotine solution to create inhalable vapor. The proposal would also prohibit marketing to mi- nors under 18, bar adver- tising that increases use by children and ban most fla- vorings in the products. It would require the Food and Drug Administration to es- tablish childproof packag- ing standards and dosage limits.
