Artists FROM PAGE 1 Maps and documents regarding the proposed rezones are available at http://www.co.tehama. ca.us/planning-depart- ment and at the planning department. The public is encouraged to check the documents if they are con- cerned that their property would be impacted, Moore said. "During the process, we had folks with concerns about the Paskenta and Lu- ther Road area come in," Moore said. "We discov- ered that in the general plan process mistakes had been made." Properties that had been zoned as commercial and had land-use designated as commercial in the general plan, previously updated in 1981, had been redesig- nated as residential in the 2009 plan. "Staff recommends they be pulled out and return to commercial," Moore said. "They are all existing, low- intensity uses." The commission heard concerns over the mobile home overlay in general from several Rancho Te- hama residents with about a dozen present to repre- sent their area. Rancho Tehama resident Fred Casey started off the public comments asking for the overlay to be re- moved to give the home- owners and the Home- owners Association a little more to work with as to the age of homes going in. Several Rancho Te- hama residents were con- cerned over mobile homes that were 40 years old go- ing in, some of them over- night without permits, and the hazard they presented due to their antiquated electrical wiring. "This only impacts this area," Moore said of the overlay removal. "Rancho Tehama has become the dumping ground of the other counties because there are no limits on the manufacturing age. It's a great opportunity to clean- up the area." If the overlay is removed, homes that are older but are legally permitted will be grandfathered in. Those that are not le- gally permitted would be addressed by code enforce- ment. "This is an on-going is- sue that needs to be solved as expediently as possible," said Planning Commission Chairman Lynn DeFreece. "It's an issue that is wide- spread."

By Marcy Gordon The Associated Press WASHINGTON Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee have called off their pro- posed merger after the Obama administration told the companies it would hurt competition in the U.S. canned tuna market. The Justice Department announced Friday that the deal, announced a year ago between Thailand's larg- est seafood company and Bumble Bee Foods of the U.S., was off. If Thai Union Group, owner of Chicken of the Sea, had bought Bum- ble Bee, it would have com- bined the second- and third- largest sellers of tinned tuna in the U.S. in a mar- ket long dominated by three major brands. The third major brand is StarKist Co., based in Pittsburgh, a subsidiary of Dongwon Industries of Seoul, South Korea. Bum- ble Bee, which is owned by the British investment firm Lion Capital LLP, is based in San Diego. Tri-Union Seafoods, the Thai Union subsidiary operating as Chicken of the Sea Interna- tional, also is based in San Diego. "Consumers are better off without this deal," Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer said in a printed statement. He said the two companies knew or should have known that competition already is lacking in the canned tuna market, and more consoli- dation would make the sit- uation worse. Bumble Bee CEO Chris Lischewski confirmed in a statement that the two com- panies had mutually agreed to terminate the deal. "Dur- ing the last year, Bumble Bee has conducted busi- ness as usual and now has a renewed focus to execute its vision for the company well into the future," Lisch- ewski said. Representatives of Tri- Union Seafoods didn't im- mediately return telephone calls seeking comment. When the deal was an- nounced in December 2014, Thai Union said its pur- chase of Bumble Bee would be its largest acquisition, and would boost its earn- ings by reducing costs and improving efficiency. Thai Union, with annual sales of about $3.5 billion and some 35,000 employ- ees worldwide, also has in- ternational brands John West, King Oscar, Petit Na- vire, Parmentier, Mareblu and Century. Bumble Bee posts sales of around $1 bil- lion yearly; it has roughly 1,300 employees. COMPETITION CITED Ch ic ke n of S ea a nd B um bl e Be e abandon tuna merger as US objects The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Califor- nia lawmakers, scientists and crabbers met to dis- cuss the continued delay of the rock crab fishing sea- son, though recent sam- ples indicate the situation is improving. The San Francisco Chron- icle reported that at a legis- lative hearing by the Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture in Santa Rosa on Thursday officials dis- cussed the financial, health and ocean impacts caused by the shutdown. Officials found elevated levels of domoic acid in crabs las month. The toxin is produced by a massive bloom of microscopic algae that's caused by warming ocean conditions. Recent crab samples show the situation is im- proving, with acid levels in Half Moon Bay, San Fran- cisco and Morro Bay com- ing out clean. The health ad- visory cannot be lifted until all samples from the entire region show safe levels for two weeks in a row. TOXIN Lawmakers, scientists meet over crab season delay The Associated Press SAN JOSE About a dozen Northern California guards at a troubled jail system are under investigation for re- peatedly exchanging racist text messages. Santa Clara Sheriff Lau- rie Smith said guards have been placed on leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation. Smith said she will fire any guard found to have texted racist sentiments. Smith declined to specify exactly how many guards are under investigation or have been placed on leave. The texting scandal sur- faced three months after three guards were charged with murder in the beating death of a mentally ill in- mate. The San Jose Mercury News first reported the in- vestigation Friday and ob- tained several of the texts, which were found on a pri- vate phone of a guard re- cently charged with ille- gally accessing confidential records from a government criminal justice database. Investigators seized the phone of Ryan Saunders with a search warrant. Saunders was charged in October with eight counts of accessing records of people he knows from the Criminal Justice Information Control, which tracks suspects in the court system. Saunders has not en- tered a plea and his attor- ney Joshua Olander didn't return a call Friday. The text messages ob- tained by the Mercury News show guards dispar- aging blacks, Jews, Asians and Latinos with slurs and allusions to violence. In one exchange, a guard texted a group of colleagues that police killed 550 people in 2015. "If they're black, it doesn't count," responded one of the guards. "I'm absolutely appalled," the sheriff said. The Mercury News said Lance Scimeca, head of the guards' union, is among the guards under investigation and on leave. He is alleged to have used a slur against Jews and saying the per- son's "hide" should be used to make lampshades. "Unfortunately, there is nothing I can say. I was ordered not to discuss my case with anyone in a let- ter from the Sheriff's Of- fice," Scimeca told the Mer- cury News. "This is where the sheriff has me over the barrel." Scimeca told the paper he wasn't told why he was placed on leave in Septem- ber. He didn't return a phone call or email inquiry from The Associated Press. No other guards were identified. The Santa Clara County Correctional Peace Officers' Association didn't return a call. The sheriff said the FBI is also looking into the texts as part of an inves- tigation of jail operations prompted by the beating death of mentally ill in- mate David Tyree in Sep- tember in the county's San Jose jail. TROUBLED SYSTEM 12 jail guards probed in California for racist texts NICK UT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee have called off their proposed merger. BEULAHMARIEMANGINI September 8, 1919 ~ November 30, 2015 Beulah Marie Eslinger Turner Mangini, 96, died on Mon- day, November 30, 2015 peacefully at home in her pretty rosebud nightgown, snuggled under her electric blanket and listening to her favorite classic country music. She was born in Cedar Springs, Missouri on September 8, 1919 to Franklin Willis and Elsie Maude Conner Eslinger. Until recent years, she thought her birthday was on the 9th, but a check of the birth certificate told us oth- erwise – so birthdays were always a two-day celebration. Beulah was one of 9 children: Lottsee Helen Gray (Rob- ert); Edgar Harold Eslinger (Dorothy); Arthur Wilbur Eslinger (Eugenia) (Lillian); Velma Doris Scotto (Vincent) (Del); Elmer Donald Eslinger (Mary Etta); Claudine Eslinger; Willis Floyd Eslinger and Elsie Ruthe Wicht (Buzzy). In 1920 her family moved to their homestead in Colora- do. In 1923 they sold the property however, remained in Colorado for two more years. In 1925 the family moved back to Missouri, Cedar County and in 1930 to Vernon County. The depression hit them hard and then their house burned so her father decided it was time to move West. His cousin, Oscar Eslinger had moved to Idaho in 1919 and his brother, Lew Eslinger followed in 1929. So in 1933, Frank and Maude packed seven of their nine children and a few personal belongings in their 1929 Chevrolet and started the long journey. Beulah tells the story of arriving in Twin Falls with $3.10, paying the bridge toll to Jerome where they stayed with her Grandma Conner until they moved to Twin Falls where they lived with her Uncle Lew Eslinger and his family. There was a total of 15 children and 4 adults liv- ing in a 4-room house three miles west of Twin Falls. As soon as possible, her father rented a farm just a mile away and they started their new life. The two oldest chil- dren remained in Missouri until later. Eventually they made their way West and the Eslinger's of Idaho was born. For a while, she lived and worked for a neighbor, even- tually moving into town to live with a cousin, daughter of Oscar Eslinger and attend Twin Falls High School. She graduated in 1937 and has enjoyed the Over 50 Class Re- unions for many years. In 2015 she was the second old- est graduate. The Eslinger families were members of the First Christian Church in Twin Falls. It was at a church Young People's meeting that she met her first husband, Horace Lee Turner (died 1969). They were married on March 17, 1938 and had five children: Venita Cappel Philbrick (Russell); Sharon Olson Merritt Griffith (David); Billie Turner (Nancy) Rebecca); Rickey Turner (Mary); Greg Turner (Laura) (Jody). The Turners farmed west of Twin Falls, ending up on Highway 30 property just east of Union School. Beulah was as good at driving the beet/grain truck during harvest as she was at the sewing machine making dance cos- tumes for her daughters. You could always count on her having a large garden and spending time at the canning kitchen with sisters-in-law. She found time to be in- volved with her children at Union School as the Cub Scout, 4-H and Blue Bird leader. Family gatherings and holidays were always special. In 1967 Beulah and her youngest son, Greg, moved to San Rafael, California where she worked in her sister's dress shop. She loved pretty things and visiting with peo- ple, so was a perfect spot to enjoy both. Every occasion was a party, Lawrence Welk program was a Saturday night must and she could play cards for hours. She en- joyed traveling and her sister Helen included her on a trip to Europe and cruises to the Mediterranean, Acapulco, and Alaska. It was on a blind date that she met her second husband, Adolph "Al" George Mangini (died 2010) and they were married in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 24, 1968. Al had four adult children: Lenore Bell; Florence Warner (Bob); Alan Mangini (Rose); Joy Ann Smith. Beulah and Al lived in Novato, California, a couple short stays in Boise and Jerome, Idaho, then, in 2002 they moved to Red Bluff, California to be near family. In August, 2013 she went home, moving back to Twin Falls with her oldest daugh- ter and son-in-law. Her parents, husbands, two step-children, one step- grandchild and all siblings have preceded her in death. She is survived by a blended family of 7 children, 36 grandchildren, 62 great-grandchildren and 49 great great- grandchildren; one brother-in-law, Buzzy Wicht, Santa Ro- sa, California. She has five first cousins living in Twin Falls, the oldest being 100, and all from the same Lew Eslinger family that she lived with when first coming to Twin Falls in 1933. She has an unimaginable number of other cousins, nieces and nephews that will also miss her love and warm smile. This is a long story – but 96 years is a long time. A sincere thank you to the staff at St. Luke's Home Care and Hospice for the gentle and caring way you all helped Mom and her family for these last few months. A bucket of love and thanks to Tonya Herrin who helped us all through the final couple years of Mom's homecoming.
