Fitzpatrick compares the rela- tionship between California’s marijuana laws and city zoning ordinances to churches, nuclear power plants and livestock auc- tion yards, all of which must com- ply with local policies. “These types of proposed uses, just like some types of medical marijuana activities, are clearly legal,” he writes. “But just because they are ‘legal’ doesn’t mean that the jurisdiction must allow them to go into any geographic area, regardless of their impacts on sur- rounding uses of property and on the people surrounding those neighboring properties.” California law is clear that, when state law does not address zoning or land use, cities will be given the right to regulate land use, Fitzpatrick argues.

The lush, nat- ural setting of Dog Island, free from modern sights and sounds is eerily remi- niscent of several famous Virginia battlefields, includ- ing The Peninsula, Chan- cellorsville and the Wilder- ness, where some of the Civil War’s fiercest fighting took place. Hosting the event are the 72nd New York Volun- teer Infantry, one of several units that make up the Fed- eral Brigade of the Reenac- tors of the American Civil War. Many members live in Red Bluff and surround- ing communities. The group is comprised of sev- eral Union and Confeder- ate infantry, artillery and cavalry units, as well as a large civilian contingent. All members are dedi- cated volunteer living histo- rians who strive to recreate the daily experiences of both soldiers and civilians during the Civil War. Rick Barram, event coordinator, portrays Pvt. Sullivan Bid- dle, clerk of the 72nd New York. He talked about what people will see at Dog April 12, 1861 - Confederates fire on Fort Sumter, beginning Civil War April 25, 1862 – City of New Orleans cap- tured by Union fleet under Flag Officer Far- ragut April 27, 1863 - Chancellorsville Cam- paign begins; birthday of General U.

Don’t be surprised if the person you’re talking to sounds and acts as if they’re from another era, because so that it would not cost the city anything, Grissom said. The course would be open to public use any time the park is open, and because it is in the park there is no admission cost. Having the course at Dog Island would bring more traffic to the park and deter unwanted activities, Police Chief Paul Nan- fito said. Now that they have final approval to move forward, Gris- som and Emde will start fundrais- ing and advertising to people excited about have the new activ- ity in town. Organizers want to raise all the costs of installing the course, so that it will come at no cost to the ney General has reviewed the case and found no prob- able cause. Bird has since attempted to perform a citizen’s arrest city. The project will cost an esti- mated $15,000, which includes the price of 18 top of the line bas- kets and tee signs, trash cans, benches and message boards at each hole. The goal is to raise the initial $15,000 to install the course, but if organizers cannot raise that amount, they will forgo some amenities, such as having trash cans at every hole and consider having cheaper bas- kets. Once the initial fund is collect- ed, organizers will continue to fundraise to help maintain the course. Grissom pointed out that little maintenance is needed on on Nielsen, but did not receive the support of local law enforcement. “(Parker) has a duty to arrest Mr. Nielsen,” Bird they work hard to transport themselves and the audi- ence back to that era.” Randy Hewitt portrays Capt. Henry Hobbs, com- mander of Company C of the 72nd New York. Hewitt described the battles and demonstrations planned for this year’s event. “We work with our Con- federate counterparts to show the audience the tac- tics, the heroism and even the tragedy that attended every battle in the Civil War, large or small,” Hewitt said. “Reenactors work hard to ensure the weapons and maneuvers are as authentic as possible. For- tunately, the casualties are only imaginary, but when the battle ends, folks can still see the devastation by touring the surgeons’ tents. Reenactors are natural entertainers, but our ulti- mate goal is to give the public a better understand- ing of the war that changed and shaped modern Ameri- ca.” Admission to the event is $5 for adults, $1 for chil- dren 10 and younger. Food vendors and Civil War-era merchants will be on-site throughout the weekend. A free shuttle service, run by Paratransit Services is provided from the north- west corner of the Home Depot parking lot at 2650 North Main St. Parking at the lot is free. The public is urged to make use of the official event parking and shuttles, as parking will not be allowed at Dog Island — except for handicapped parking or handicap drop- off — or along Main Street in front of the park. Those walking to the site must cross Main Street only at marked pedestrian cross- ings. the baskets once installed and foot traffic through the course would take care of itself. Mayor Jeff Moyer said disc golf is a great addition. It will bring more people to town. Forming disc golf leagues and hosting tournaments could attract visitors and contribute to local revenues. Grissom said he has spoken to disc golf players in Anderson, which is the closest course, who were excited about coming down to play if Grissom gets the course built. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com. said. “He is required to do this.” Calls to Parker were referred to County Counsel, who declined to comment.

State delays plan to expand bear hunting SACRAMENTO (AP) — California wildlife offi- cials on Wednesday delayed taking action on a proposal to expand the hunting of black bears in the state, say- ing public concerns haven’t been fully addressed. The decision by the Cal- ifornia Fish and Game Commission means hunters will not be allowed to go into new territory when bear-hunting season starts this fall. The statewide limit on bears killed legally — currently at 1,700 — also would remain the same. The commission voted Daily News photo by Tang Lor The cast of Mercy High School’s Seussical the Musical. MERCY Continued from page 1A Horton the Elephant is a really nice guy. He’s loyal and trustworthy, and junior Tommy Wilson said he kind of sees himself as that kind of guy. Not only can the cast relate to the characters but also the lesson of the musical. By the end of the musi- cal, Gertrude McFuzz, played by senior Alaina Germano, who spends most of her time trying to impress Horton by grow- ing her tail feather, learns that people should be loved for who they are and what they do, not what they look like. “The lesson is actually a very important one for high school students because nowadays most girls try to impress guys with makeup and stuff, but they should know that it’s about what you do and helping others and looks shouldn’t matter,” are $5.

The state has proposed allowing hunting for black bears in San Luis Obispo County, as well as parts of Inyo, Lassen and Modoc counties. State wildlife officials also want to eliminate the cap on the number of bears that can be killed each sea- son so they can have the flexibility to decide when the season should end. California’s bear popula- tion has climbed from fewer than 10,000 bears in early 1980s to 38,000, and hunt- ing proposal is expected to have a negligible affect on the bear population.
