The Associated Press SEATTLE American In- dian tribes wrestling with whether to legalize mari- juana have scheduled a na- tional conference on the topic next month in Wash- ington state. Organizer Robert Odawi Porter, a tribal law expert and former president of Seneca Nation in New York, says there's been a lot of dis- cussion among tribes since the Justice Department an- nounced in December that it would allow them to grow and sell marijuana. A few tribes have ex- pressed interest in the legal pot business. But for many, concerns about substance abuse are paramount. Por- ter says the conference will explore the legal, business, social and cultural ques- tions facing tribes when it comes to marijuana. The Feb. 27 event at the Tulalip Resort Casino is be- ing co-sponsored by Seattle attorneys Hilary Bricken and Robert McVay, who have hosted other confer- ences on legal pot.

DONALD BOYCE WEBSTER October 28, 1924 ~ Janaury 9, 2015 Donald Boyce Webster passed away peacefully on Fri- day, January 9, 2015, in the house in Red Bluff where he had lived since the early 1950s. Don was born on Octo- ber 28, 1924, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to Lee Lansing and Josephine Mae (Binning) Webster. Don practiced law in Red Bluff from 1950 until his retirement in 2010. He and his wife, the late Ida (Halpin) Webster, were very involved in the community for more than half a century. Don followed a circuitous path from Wisconsin to Red Bluff. His father worked as a telegrapher for the Santa Fe Railroad, and Don moved with his parents and his older brother, David, to Seligman, AZ, and Barstow, CA, before settling in Fresno. At Fresno High School he ran track, served as president of the Student Senate, and earned val- edictorian honors. Don enrolled as a freshman at Stan- ford University in 1942. After one year there, he enlisted in the Navy V-12 Program (U.S. Marine Corps) and spent his sophomore and junior years at U.C. Berkeley in the officer training program. From there he shipped out to Parris Island, SC, for basic training, and then entered the Naval School of Oriental Languages, where he trained to become a military translator. He took intensive classes in Japanese at the University of Colorado and Oklahoma A&M. When World War II ended he left the Marines and returned to college. Don completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford, and then graduated from Stanford Law School in the Class of 1949. In 1950 he married Ida, who at the time was working in the Stanford Law School Placement Office. The newly- weds noticed an ad for an entry-level lawyer in Red Bluff (a town of 4,500), and they decided to move there so Don could work as an associate with attorney Stanley Pugh. The next year Don was recalled by the Marines to active duty at Quantico, VA, and thereafter returned to Red Bluff permanently. In 1964, Don started his own so- lo law practice across the street from the Tehama County Courthouse, and represented countless clients in the Red Bluff area until he retired at the age of 86. He walked the eight blocks back and forth to the office every day, twice a day (walking home for lunch at noon and then back to work). Don was an elected member of the Red Bluff Elementa- ry School Board for almost 20 years, and was active in various local organizations, including the Democratic Central Committee and the Elks Club (past grand exalted ruler for the Red Bluff chapter, 1962). He and Ida helped organize the Kelly Griggs House Museum Association in the 1960s, and in 1984 Don was a founding member of the Lassen Park Foundation, where he served as a board member for the next two decades. Don and Ida raised four children (Bob, Abby, Debby, and Ben), who attended Red Bluff High School and went on to graduate from Stanford University. Don was a vora- cious reader, and the Webster house included a library with thousands of books (and no television). Always an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, Don and his fami- ly loved to hike in Lassen Park, which he cherished as his "backyard," and other wild areas throughout the West. They also enjoyed frequent trips to Ashland for the Ore- gon Shakespeare Festival. Over the years, the Webster family (and later, Don and Ida together) took many vaca- tions to national parks and monuments, museums, art gal- leries, colleges, historic homes, forts, battlefields, and oth- er landmarks across the United States. Don's inspiring presence will be greatly missed by his children and their spouses, Bob and Carla Webster, Abby and Rob Hilson, Debby and Dave Trotter, and Ben and Joy Webster, and Don's seven grandchildren (Andy, Em- ma, Jack, and Patrick Trotter, and Ethan, Grant, and Keith Webster). The family is grateful for the assistance provid- ed to Don by caregiver Teresa Spliethof over the past few years. A gathering to celebrate the lives and honor the memo- ries of Don and Ida Webster is planned for March 28, 2015 in Red Bluff, details to be announced. Thereafter there will be a private family service at the Northern Cali- fornia Veterans' Cemetery at Igo, in Shasta County. Re- membrances in Don's honor may be made to the Lassen Park Foundation, Post Office Box 33, Anderson, CA 96007.

TheAuditor says that only way the Road Department can make a bid of this size is by advertising in a county newspaper, or by the Board of Supervisors deciding it is in the best interest of the county not to bid.Afirst class County Manager would prevent misunderstandings such as this one. … Many people are worried that the coming presidential election will generate a lot of religious hatred if Catholic Senator Kennedy becomes one of the candidates. By the time the Convention starts, possibly Lyndon Johnson,Adlai Stevenson, or someone unknown at this time will be carrying the Democratic hopes.As far as the Republican hopefuls, Rockefeller says he won't run as a vice President, but do you remember Governor Warren 12 years ago when Dewey was pretty sure of being the presidential candidate? Governor Warren said without any question he would not accept the nomination for vice President. However, he changed his mind. I have always felt that if Warren had been running for President, we might have been spared those years with Truman*. … I note that meetings of peace officers and others have decided that the Stout dance hall will have a 60 day trial period after which they could have their license taken away. Somehow this doesn't look exactly right to me. I believe the Stouts are doing their best to run a fine place in which teenagers can congregate and dance. I do not believe they are responsible in any way for the disturbances that have been created there. Boys have nearly no work to do nowadays and if they are naturally healthy and full of energy which if not dissipated via work, is likely to be used in chasing the opposite sex to, driving autos too fast or fighting. One evening recently a boy from Orland and a boy from Redding went to their respective homes, collected their gangs and reappeared. They were looking for revenge and trouble. No 10 sheriff deputies could have stopped such a fight.And if a deputy hit one of the boys the boy's father could have sued the deputy or the County. Hitting an underage boy is serious business. I suggest some of the law enforcement agencies show the Stouts how to stop the disturbances. If it would work here, I'm sure every community in the country would want to hear about it. They are all experiencing the same trouble, many to a much more serious degree. *History has shown that the once reviled Truman experienced a reversal of public opinion in later life.
