Growing up the youngest of three boys, Morse saw his brothers and mother struggle with addiction. His father died when Morse was young, and he grew up with- out a father. Despite being surround- ed by drugs and alcohol, he never got into it, and now thanks his brothers for scar- ing him into being drug-free. He did allow his brothers to introduce him to punk rock music and skateboard- ing, and that became his escape. Even in the punk rock to the big city of Los Angeles, California where she assist- ed in the war effort riveting plane parts at the North American Aviation plant in Inglewood. She returned home to Oklahoma in 1944 where she met a young man at a local dance and he walked her home along the rail- road tracks. Jenny married Denver mason in Independ- ence, Kansas on September 4, 1945, and they were blessed with their son Steve on May 31st of the following year. The Masons were an active couple, they were both ex- cellent bowlers, infact Jenny maintained a 165 plus aver- age at the age of 87. Many was the day that Jenny and Mason could be found boating, camping, fishing or water skiing not only with son Steve, but also with their grand- kids, nieces and nephews. The Masons taught two gener- ations of their family to water ski. Prior to moving to Talent, Mrs. Mason was a long-time resident of Gereber, California where she and her hus- band raised horses, cows, pigs and chickens as well as cats and dogs. One of her Appaloosa horses, Damian-T, was a race winner at the California State Fair in Sacramen- to. However, those close to her know it was not her many skills and talents that made her special, but rather who she was. She had a strength and patriotism that with- stood her through a Great Depression, a World War, a decades long threat of nuclear holocaust and 9/11. Per- haps the most amazing thing of all - after the inevitable trails and tribulations of a long life, there was still that twinkle in her eye, that quick smile and the smart-aleck remark as if you were still ten years old and had just trip- ped over your own feet. Jenny, Grammy, Aunt Jean, she was all of those and more, she loved her family - children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, brother, nieces, nephews. Her son;s wife Sheila, became the daughter she never had, but most of all she loved Mason, her husband. Jenny and Mason are together once again, reunited for- ever.

The alternative custody program is for less serious offenders. Qualifying inmates must have less than two years left on their sentences, which would be completed while they are tracked by GPS-linked ankle bracelets and report to a parole officer. It comes as the state grapples with court rulings that call for reducing the prison population at its 33 adult prisons by more than 30,000 inmates before July 2013. Corrections Secretary Matthew Cate called the program a step in breaking the cycle of incarceration in families. Christine Ward, execu- tive director of the Crime Victims Action Alliance, said her organization isn't opposed to all alternative custody programs. But she is concerned that Califor- nia's definition of nonvio- lent and non-serious crimes includes some offenses that most people would consider violent or serious, such as possessing weapons or explosives, launched at the 2010 fair, which will have the theme of walnuts. Ray Bianchi of Bianchi Orchards will be doing walnut pairing during the fair and Slow Foods Shas- ta-Cascade will be holding a dinner at 6:30 p.m. Thurs- day featuring local foods with an emphasis on wal- nuts, Eidman said. The dinner requires a second ticket, which is $20.

The state assumed $4 billion more in tax rev- enue than was anticipat- ed in the governor's May budget revision. Addi- tional cuts would be trig- gered in December if tax revenue falls short of assumptions. The state controller's office reported last week that general fund revenues are running behind bud- get estimates by $403.8 million so far for the fis- cal year ending June 30, 2012. If revenue falls short by more than $1 billion, it will trigger about $600 million in additional cuts, including $100 jail are in these programs,'' Ward said. ''If they screw up, it can be pretty bad.'' About two-thirds of the 9,484 female inmates in California's prison system million each to the Uni- versity of California, California State Univer- sity and the Department of Developmental Ser- vices. If revenues fall short by more than $2 billion, it would prompt a $1.5 billion cut in K-12 school funding, as well as other education cuts. The treasurer has said the provision for auto- matic triggered cuts pro- vided stability for investors. ''Triggers were one of the strongest parts of the budget, and they're just fine the way they are,'' Dresslar said. ''Hopeful- ly, the governor will veto the bill.'' Sen. Mark Leno, D- San Francisco, chair of the Senate budget com- mittee, said the Legisla- ture was simply asking for flexibility and trans- parency from the state's executive branch. He said the bill Female inmates in California could get early release are mothers whose chil- dren are currently with rel- atives or in foster care, though many of those women won't qualify for alternative custody. Shellabarger said. "They should be held accountable." TIDE Special Agent Supervisor Eric Maher wasn't at the scene of the shooting, but he spoke on behalf of the agency. "The dog was very aggressive and attacked an officer," he said. "It was a threat that had to be stopped." The dog was very large and the agent's only choice to stop it was shooting it, Maher said. Shellabarger's claim appeared before the board during the regular meeting Tuesday. County Counsel recommend- ed that the board reject the claim and refer it to counsel, the standard first step in county litigation. should not concern investors because it doesn't undermine the governor's authority to make midyear cuts if necessary. It requests the administration consult legislative leaders by Dec. 9, prior to the trig- ger deadline of Dec. 15. ''The needs of the state shift often and quickly ... this bill would allow for that kind of conversation to happen prior to that cut...'' Leno said. He added, ''I prefer to remain hopeful and optimistic that the trig- gers will not be neces- sary.'' The bill also included a provision requested by community colleges to delay implementing a $10 per unit increase until the 2012 summer term if the trigger has to be pulled. Some lawmakers sug- gested the bill would allow advocates to oppose the cuts, all of which were difficult as the state struggled with a budget shortfall and a 12-percent unemploy- ment rate. ''This is an incremen- tal step at edging away from those cuts,'' Sen. Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, said in opposing the bill last week. Brown's spokesman, Gil Duran, said the bud- get moved the state's rat- ing from negative to sta- ble by providing certain- ty for investors. ''The trigger cuts are integral to the state's fis- cal balance, and Gov. Brown will act to main- tain the integrity of this responsible budget,'' Duran said. THE PASSING PARADE Ted Dress went to his reward last week, and though based in Yuba City, he is still remembered by tenants and fellow businessmen in Red Bluff as a very successful developer of commercial property. He was landlord to such familiar names as Sears, and Kragen (now O'Reilly) Auto Parts, and enabled Staples to locate on south Main and become a part of his center. In Red Bluff alone, he developed the Shopping Center on Antelope Blvd which, in the past, was home to Big R Ranch & Home, Lassen Ranch and Home, Crossroads Feed & Ranch Supplies, BC Tires, Prairie Market, Canned Foods Outlets and other enterprises, the most current being the L and L Thrift Store. When Blue Shield outgrew their former site, Ted allowed me to negotiate with them for a 40,000 sq ft call center on St. Mary's Ave. Despite the continuing recession which forced many of the aforementioned companies to downsize or go out of business, Ted maintained his property and never doubted they would become occupied when the economy turned around. lent, Morse has been able to maintain his straight edge lifestyle. He has hung out with rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Nas and Eminem but he never got into doing what they do, and he has their respect for that, Morse said. "I love Snoop Dogg, but I don't smoke weed because he smokes," Morse said. Choosing the straight edge lifestyle is easy for Morse because he knows what the alternative would be. He has seen friends over- dose and pass out drunk. "To lose friends to addic- tion is a horrible thing," he said. "Addiction is so seri- ous. It all leads to death or jail." ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e- mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. He was born the 5th of 6 children in Albert Lea, Minnesota to Greek immigrants, managed to enlist in the Marines at 15 and fought in the battles of Saipan, Tinian and Okinawa. After the service, he worked in the family business and married Darlene Jones with whom he had two children, son Craig and daughter Joy. He eventually settled on the west coast where he opened various Big R Farm and Ranch stores in Oregon and California. Yuba City became his home base in 1973 where he operated as R & H Investments. I entered his sphere of influence in the late 1970's soon after I received my real estate license, and found myself fortunate to have gained his confidence, for I was wet behind the ears and in awe of his business acumen. Our first encounter was nearly my last. Prairie Market had gone out of business and he asked me to clear the 18000 sq ft store of shelving and refrigerated containers with the provision that I could keep and sell any personal property therein for my work in clearing the premises. With the help of my family we finally cleared the area. When I notified Ted the space was ready for tenancy, he said, "By the way, take all the shopping carts over to Lassen Ranch and Home." I was stunned and stammered, "Mr. Dress, you said I could have and sell any of the property within the building, and I have done just that. The carts were mine to sell." There was silence on the other end of the line, and then he said, "Well, hell, if that's the way you understood it, then that's the way we will go." Since that day, over 30 years ago, we had the perfect business relationship. `He was indeed a valued friend and one of a kind. I regret he never met my father for they had much in common when it came to being successful in business. R.I.P.
