Safeway aims for crate-free PLEASANTON (AP) — The nation's second-largest grocery chain says it will adopt purchasing policies that favor more humane treatment of pigs. Safeway Inc. announced Monday that it's planning to stop buying from suppliers that use pig gestation crates. Most pork currently comes from sows confined during their four-month pregnancies in narrow crates. Animal wel- fare activists have pushed for using open pens. Other corporations such as McDonald's and Burger King also plan to buy pork from pigs not kept in crates. Safeway spokesman Brian Dowling says the chain already buys some pork from producers who are phasing out gestation crates. The Pleasanton, Calif.-based company has not set a deadline for going completely crate-free. The Humane Society of the United States has been working with the industry to improve welfare of caged chickens and pigs.

Ron Warner: It's been my experience in the last eight years that the county depart- ments are now getting together in meetings more often. A case in point is the AB109 committee, which is various departments coming together to solve a problem that affects the whole coun- ty. as a whole? Ron Warner: I think the supervisors I've worked with, we look at projects as the county overall and we work to make the county better overall. Ron Warner: There are times when a supervisor will bring a project to the board's attention and I personally have supported projects throughout the county area.

They're talking about rehab for alcohol and drug use. Ron Warner:We have to look at this as not just incar- ceration but to try to help these people towards a bet- ter life. example would be the South Avenue offramp project in Corning, which was in Dis- trict 4 but greatly affected the traffic and safety of all the people in Tehama Coun- ty. Ron Warner: I do know the chief administrator has department head meetings where they discuss how the departments can better work together. News:Will there ever be a real and completed solution to the truck traffic on 99? Ron Warner: I believe the Red Bluff Daily News: Why did you decide to run for another term? Ron Warner:I was asked by a group of people from both Corning and Los Moli- nos to run for another term. There are projects that are ongoing that I want to see completed. News: What role do you feel the county should play in the branding effort, or should it? Ron Warner: I'm 100 per- cent behind the Branding Effort. I believe that the county should look at all the suggestions that are coming from the branding group and work with them when we can and encourage them every chance we can. Ron Warner: I currently Red Bluff Daily serve on the ad hoc commit- tee for the fairgrounds, which we are talking about incorporating into the brand- ing effort. Ron Warner: I serve on the ad hoc committee for the State Fair booth, which is incorporating the branding logos and sayings. Red Bluff Daily new direction we are going will greatly help the traffic. Ron Warner: After many years of trying to find a route from the Distribution Center over to the Flores Road Overpass failed, this new direction of possibly widen- ing 99W to the onramp near the Valero Station at Main Street should help in moving the truck traffic along. Ron Warner: Also, in the project is the intersection of Gyle Road and 99W. Improving that intersection, getting trucks on and off the freeway to the distribution center. Red Bluff Daily News: It seems we're always hearing reports the Woodson Bridge park could be closing due to state budget issues, is there a local solution to prevent this from ever happening? Ron Warner: If you're referring to the State Park, that may rest with the Gov- ernor's ballot measures that are coming up soon. Ron Warner: There are no plans to close the county park at Woodson Bridge. Ron Warner: I've been News:Yesterday, your chal- lenger Burt Bundy said "I think he lets the administra- tion set policy and determine many of the issues, particu- larly in the Fifth District." Is he right? Ron Warner: My reply to working on the Kopta Slough for years. If the river continues its movement to the east, it could bypass Woodson Bridge altogether, and that county would be forced to build a new bridge, at millions of dollars. Ron Warner: I am happy to see that DWR has picked up the Kopta Slough project where the Army Corps of Engineers left off due to lack of funding. that, anyone who knows me knows that I investigate and look into all issues on the agenda. I don't allow admin to direct me one way or another. Ron Warner: A case in News: Earlier we spoke about individual district con- cerns, what balance should a supervisor have when com- ing at issues between what's good for his district versus what's good for the county Red Bluff Daily Ron Warner: I believe a supervisor should be open minded to the concerns of the citizens of Tehama County, no matter what dis- trict they live in. Red Bluff Daily News: What is going on to help clean up the appearance of 99E around Los Molinos? Ron Warner: Phase II of the project should start in June sometime. That will be more curbs, gutters, storm drains, street lights, land- scaping, and a main portion will be the storm drain pipe that heads west out of Los Molinos under the railroad tracks and to the slough. Ron Warner: This will help get the storm waters out of Los Molinos and help with the safety aspect of children walking in the street to get to school. Ron Warner:We have received $500,000 Safe Routes to School funds to put curbs and sidewalks around the grammar school. I am looking for funding to do curbs and sidewalks on Grant Street over to the high school, which might be part of Phase III. Ron Warner: I continue rently have 70 people in the County Jail who should be in the State Prison system and therefore we have 70 people we've had to release under supervision to make room for them.

This is an ongoing problem and the Board of Supervisors is tak- ing action to simplify recovering the monies we spend to clean properties when the property owners refuse to do so. Red Bluff Daily News: What is your opinion on the proposed work farm? Ron Warner: I approve of that 100 percent. Not only as a work farm, but I know the committee has to make Tehama County and District 5 an even better place to live. Ron Warner: My strong point is working one-on- one with people. When I get a phone call or an email with a complaint or a prob- lem, I handle it immediate- ly. If I don't have the answer, I will contact the department that has the answer for me and will put the citizen in touch with that department or get the answer for them.

Red Bluff Daily THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say for August 1959) The sale of 4H and Future Farmers at the fairgrounds last week was the best ever. Lynn Maxwell and Orville Parker deserve a lot of credit. The most interesting bidding was when Jack Owens' son John walked into the ring leading his calf. John, who looks like he will play football for Red Bluff High in a few years, grinned as he walked around the ring and the bidding began very spiritedly. John's uncle Jim had come down from Klamath to buy the calf. John's grandmother, Mrs. Roy Owens, had suggested to his Uncle Hap that they should buy it. Then Buck Noble of the Westover Ranch entered the bidding and finally bought the calf for $1.02 per pound or nearly a thousand dollars. He then donated it to the Sisters Hospital. *** The meeting of the Rotary Club will be addressed this week by Mr. Coates who will explain to the members why they should buy stocks and bonds. Whether this is just what is needed at this time is problematical. Money is tight and as more money goes out of the county, interest rates will go higher. I am considering asking for equal time to sell the Rotarians on the idea of going to Reno instead of investing in the stock market. They probably won't have much money left either way in the course of time but it would be a lot more fun in Reno. Incidentally, I didn't lose any money in the stock market crash of 1929 because I didn't own any sock, but I saw a lot of normally conservative people that I liked that get hurt badly. *** Any writer who says a word against school expenses is automatically a communist or a no good so and so. However, one of Tehama County's biggest taxpayer was telling me last week that school expenses are high enough and that if women of Red Bluff want a summer session of school so they won't have to look after their children for a few hours each day, let the ones who use the service pay for it. Approximately 450 attend the grammar school summer session at a cost of $9,000, just for the teachers. *** *** *** Grandson Bruce Smith wants to know if God is a Baptist and if he wears shoes. Although I imagine he is a Baptist, I can't answer the question about shoes. Did you notice on the front page of the S.F. Examiner Friday was an article very similar to the one I printed in a past issue about the cost of child aid and the reasons why it is eventually going to be a serious problem?
