I've got a whole lot of this and thats this week:
Don't forget the Shasta County Planning Commission will have a public
hearing at the School District's office on Tamarack in Burney Thursday
regarding the proposal to allow windmills on Hatchet Ridge.
The AT&T Redding phone books in their orange wrappers are still
scattered under the Post Office's cluster mailboxes throughout Burney
and Johnson Park - It's been two weeks plus.
Caltrans has sent a note out to the media saying there will be up to 45
minute delays from Shasta Street in Burney to Diddy Wells due to
road work through the 25th.
Did you notice that the wind came up Sunday. It really whistled and the
skys almost turned blue. We could almost see the mountains again. It's
nice to think that maybe the fires are out - at least those close by.
All the firefighters deserve a round of applause.
On the political scene I wouldn't vote for State Senator Sam Aanestad
if he was the last politician alive. Anyone that won't stand up for the
senior citizens in his district doesn't deserve the title and I'm
almost to that point with Assemblyman Doug LaMalfa too.
What these people don't understand is when it comes to peoples lives
there is no room to play Republican or Democrat. There comes a time
when a person has to stand up and be counted, not suck up to some party
hack. They either need to do it or be voted out of any office they are
currently in or aspiring to gain.
Open Letter to
Senator Aanestad
Dear Senator Aanestad: My husband, 78, and a retired school
administrator and I, 74, a school teacher, and still working as a
substitute teacher, are most worried that our legislature is so willing
to close down small hospitals all around our state. Living in the
Intermountain Area is possible for us (homeowners) because we know our
health needs can be taken care of locally, rather than having to
drive to a major hospital - and back, about 150 miles round trip.
Perhaps, as a legislator, you have a hospital a little handier to get
to, and perhaps don't need to worry - as we do - about the increased
cost of any long drive. But those concerns are major for us, and have
the potential to push us out of our home. Our hospital serves 28,000
people, over a 2,600 square mile area. Since 32% of the patients are on
Medi Cal and 38% on Medicare, cuts and hold backs on payment for
these services up us in extreme jeopardy. Please reconsider these
devastating budget cuts. For as powerful a society as we are in the
United States, we must protect our children, our seniors, and those
other members of our society that are at great risk.
Please do all you can to alleviate these problems and see that we do
not lose a very important part of our lives. We don't approve of the
governor trying to balance the budget with his proposed cuts to
Medi_Cal and Medicare, as well as delayed payments.

Open Letter to
Governor
Schwazenegger
Dear Governor Schwazenegger, You are so cool and you are a great actor
and thank you for writing my grandma a letter and me and my sisters
come and visit her every now and then and please protect the health
care so some day when my grandma Luck needs to go, she can go to the
hospital.
You are also a great governor of California and you are also a great
governor speaker. I am listening to you right now on Good Morning
America, Sunday the 13 of July in Burney, California and I am from
Klamath Falls, Oregon. I am here for vacation bible school and to visit
my grandma, Elizabeth Luck.
Please see if you can help people like my grandma.
I am 11 years-old, my name is Steven Karl Sanchez. I am a really good
artist just like my uncle Steve.
Sincerely
Steven Sanchez
