Born in Santa Cruz, CA in 1921, she was the second of three children of Vina and Max Kortum. The family soon moved to Petaluma where they lived on Western Avenue, and later to a poultry ranch on Ely Road. Maxine's dedication to information and history propelled Maxine Kortum Durney, librarian and community leader, every direction and we're happy to continue working with you." Tino Nava, Bell Carter's PG&E account manager, said he knows the improvements cost money and he appreciates that the company looked at the bigger picture. "It's a huge use of your time, but her from high school book shelver at the Petaluma Li- brary to regional director of the south county libraries in Alameda County. After receiving her associate degree at Santa Rosa Junior College she earned her bachelors and masters degree in library science from U.C. Berkeley and became the librarian at the Petaluma Public Library. She also served as a reference librarian in Red Bluff and worked at Northbay Library Services in Santa Rosa. After marrying William Durney she moved to Los Molinos (Tehama County) where she and Bill raised three children. During her years in the central valley, Maxine was a local 4-H leader, studied botany, assisted with Bill's plumbing business, and resumed her library career. After several years in Petaluma and Fremont, they retired to Petaluma in 1979 where their home became a center for family gatherings. Maxine's keen inquisitiveness about the world and ap- preciation for current events and history imbued in those around her an interest in local and global affairs. As a member of the Board of the Southern Sonoma County Re- source Conservation District and a member of the Califor- nia Native Plant Society, Maxine volunteered much time to community and environmental causes. She led projects including negotiations between dairy farmers and conservationists and the establishment of roadside signage to increase public awareness of watershed boun- daries and creeks in southern Sonoma County. A Demo- crat throughout her life, she undertook an active part in politics, and in 1984 she traveled to Iowa to work in the presidential campaign of California's Senator Alan Cran- ston. Her lifelong appreciation of nature and wild California began with childhood camping trips with her family on the Mattole River and the California coast. Later, she en- joyed camping, hunting and fishing trips with her hus- band Bill, and taking her grandchildren camping with Coastwalk. She fostered in her children and grandchildren the enjoyment of the outdoors, flower identification and watercolor painting, as well as a love of reading and ap- preciation of art, music, and the theater. She loved to travel, visiting friends and relatives in Ken- ya and Japan, visiting and helping with childrens' pro- grams in India and Russia, and taking grandchildren to the historic sites in Boston and Washington, D.C. Her interest in history was sparked by her heritage as a great granddaughter of Sarah Graves Fosdick, a Donner Party survivor and early Calistoga teacher. Maxine became a central source of family history. She also conducted nu- merous interviews and collected letters and memoirs for the Petaluma Chicken House Project, a much-used histori- cal library resource. Those who knew Maxine describe her as strong and ad- venturous, calm and loving, inspiring others with her breadth of knowledge, spark, and wit. Maxine was predeceased by her husband Bill Durney and brother Karl Kortum; survived by her children Vina Breyfogle, Si Durney, and Max Durney; by eight grand- children and five great grandchildren; by her brother Bill Kortum; and many nieces and nephews. If desired, donations in Maxine's memory may be sent to the Sonoma Land Trust, 966 Sonoma Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95404-4814. A celebration of Maxine's life will be held at 11 am on March 10 in Petaluma at Cypress Hill Cemetery. CARE TO COMMENT?

"While we will miss his leader- ship as supervisor we are confident he will represent us just as strongly in Sacramento."

Regardless, the Hope Chest is preparing to close ley are our agricultural users and processors. If we can get more of the large users off the peak usage period we can serve more customers." The peak period, between noon and 6 p.m., is the most expensive time to consume energy. By reduc- ing usage during this time, compa- nies would save money while free- ing up energy for others. This would mean PG&E doesn't have to build more plants to produce more energy, White said. The aeration project has been in the works for the last four months, said Bell Carter Director of Engi- neering Ron Kerr. "This particular project focuses on reducing energy consumption during waste water treatment," Kerr said. "The aeration project consists of automate controls for 65 motors that inject air into waste water. The inject- ed air is required for the natural bio- logic process of treating waste water." Previously, the pumps were turned on and off manually, but now they are run by a computer, he said. "It's a pretty smart system," Kerr said. "It measures the dissolved oxygen level and chooses the most efficient pump." Mackintosh said. "Someone out there caused this colli- sion. They need to step up and accept responsibility for it."

Jerry Brown has signed compromise legislation that allows school districts to preserve transportation funding after parents and advocates complained about losing school bus services. The governor's office announced Friday that Brown signed SB81, which was passed by lawmakers earlier this month. The bill alters a $248 million school transportation spending cut lawmakers included in the state budget they passed last summer. The cut was to take effect automatical- ly at the start of the year because tax revenue was running well behind projections.

The project cost $228,949 to install, but is expected to save $329,208 a year, reducing the car- bon footprint by 788 tons a year, he said. The company also has installed an evaporative cooler system with which they take the water used to rinse the olives, cool it down and reuse it for things like washing floors, Kerr said. "Anytime we can lower the cost while improving our sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint it's a good thing," Kerr said. "We do live here and this business is agri- culturally based, so the environment is extremely important." The evaporative cooling system and the newest project, using solar power in the receiving building, should both be up and running by March, he said.

Judge dismisses GOP suit SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal judge dismissed a law- suit filed by a group of Republicans challenging California's newly drawn congressional maps, the California Citizens Redis- tricting Commission announced Friday in its latest court victory. U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Wilson dismissed the challenge led by former congressman George Radanovich. Republicans, who have been trying to halt new district bound- aries that could diminish their political clout, had argued that the commission improperly used race as a factor in creating voting districts.
