GRIDLEY THUMBS AND ROOTS

By Izabella Fredericks

LIVE OAK, CA (MPG) - Last year the Kalkat family and the community of Live Oak lost one of their own,

Sunny Kalkat. Sunny was an alumnus of the High School and a big member of the community. With his passing he left a majority of his funds to be spent on

fixing up and bettering the community.

The Sunny Kalkat foun-dation donated a much needed Laser Cutter to the FFA department last year,

and this year, a brand new Scoreboard to the High School. At the Night Rally Thursday, August 29th, the Live Oak Lions and the

Live Oak Highschoolers, family, friends and alumni gathered on the football field for the big reveal of the new scoreboard, donated by the Kalkat family in memory of their son, Sunny Kalkat and in honor of coach Arostegui (center in green shirt). Photo by Idalis Vallejo

Gridley Sees Growing

Pains with 21 Potential New

Homes By Seti Long

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Three parcels, currently shrub covered fields, were the topic of discussion at Monday’s Gridley City Council Meeting, as they are set to be developed. The 4.7 total acre properties located on northeast corner of Peach Street and eastern side of West-Biggs Gridley Road would be the home of 21 parcels – 20 designated for single family residents and 1 designed as a storm water retention basin.

The properties in ques-tion have been approved for development in the past, first in 1993 and again in 2005, but the subdivi-sion maps expired. The new applicant, Hilbers New Home Communities out of Yuba City, has submitted a similar proposal to the previous past two devel-opments. The potential Hilbers Homes develop-ment meets the General Plan land use and Housing Element of the City of Gridley and supports its goal notated in the Housing Element Policy – “The City will encourage infill devel-opment in meeting the housing needs required by expanding populations.” Larger properties within the city limits or sphere of influence between exist-ing homes are being eyed for developments similar to this one.

The subdivision would consist of 17 homes between the ranges of 3,501-5,999 sq. feet and 3 homes in the range of 6,000-7,499 on roughly 50’ lots, totaling 20 homes. The 21st lot would act as a storm water detention basin. Of course, improve-ments to the area would need to be made, especially along the east side of West-Biggs Gridley Road. Those would include the con-struction of curbs, gutters and landscaping, etc. The Engineer for the project, Genesis Engineering, esti-mated that the cost of those improvements would run around $357,420. Hilbers has asked the City Council to allow the deferment of those improvements, dis-tributing the cost to each of the twenty parcels, adding approximately $17,871 to the cost of the new homes.

Addi t ional ly, Idaho Street would be extended north through Peach Street and become the proj-ect’s main artery, with a future extension street to Bridgeford Avenue added to the north end of the development. Glenn Drive would serve as the entrance to the development off of West-Biggs Gridley Road.

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - The Big Game is here. The Harvest Bowl, played between the Gridley Bulldogs and the Live Oak Lions, gets everybody talking about football all week long up and down Highway 99 and serves up bragging rights to the winners.

Last year’s contest was won by Gridley High School by a score of 48-21. They used a forceful running game to overpower the Live Oak defense. The Bulldogs shut out the Lions in the second half of the game to pull away to the victory. The Lions had remained close at halftime, with the score 28-21.

The star of the game last year was senior running back Jorge Moran, scoring three touchdowns and rush-ing for 267 yards on 29 carries from

scrimmage. Live Oak did have a 99-yard return for a touchdown on a kick-off .

This year Gridley’s record stands at 1-1, with last week’s win over Central Valley by a score of 36-22.

Live Oak’s record stands at 2-1, with an impressive win over Hamilton by a score of 45-12 last week.

The last time Live Oak won the Harvest Bowl contest was on September 14, 2012 at their home stadium. It was their 4th win in a

row, with the score ending in a shut out at 26 - 0.

The Harvest Bowl is scheduled for this Friday night in Gridley, with the varsity game starting at 7:30.

The crowds are always big for the football battle between the two schools, so get there early to get a great seat and share in the pre-game fun. H

The new Pi-Line Honoring Publisher W.D. Burleson By Josh F.W. Cook

You can learn a lot about a community by attend-ing high school sporting events. As you drive into their town is there garbage around on the streets, are the houses with their yards well-maintained, do the stores look safe to shop in? Many people I meet in the real world know of Gridley because they played high school basketball and went to the Gridley Invitational Basketball Tournament. The GIBT was somewhat famous in the ’70s, and 80’s because unlike most small towns that invite small-town teams to attend their tournament, GIBT would attract the most prominent - most suc-cessful schools to come to town and compete. It got to the point that NBA scouts added Gridley to their annual schedule. The home team would some-times lose like 124 to 13, but the other games were Olympic level quality.

Whatever criteria you use every time you drive into another community, you start to judge them by the things that you see and overall experience. Hundreds of future grown-ups pass through the locker rooms of that our schools put up for the visiting team - it really sends a message to out of town visitors. I hated schools that put our team in the girl’s locker room, and the showers had no hot water. To be a real class act, you should roll out the red carpet and then beat them on the field. Defeating them and then electrocuting them in a dungeon-like locker room is terrible form.

Inevitably every time I drive south on Highway 99, I hit a red light in Live Oak. I get to read the Live Oak commu-nity message board at the intersection that tells peo-ple what to sign up for, and what events are hap-pening in the community. Live Oak, based on what I’ve read on their digi-tal scoreboard installed at the intersection, seems to be a pretty good place to live. Oddly if I go through the last 20 interactions I’ve had with people who live in Live Oak they are happy, well-rounded peo-ple. Whoever put up the digital brag board that tells everybody what’s going on should be given some municipal aware-ness award. I think it’s

time for the City of Biggs to go big time. Instead of just repainting the water tower, they should turn it into a tourist attraction where people can climb to the top and walk around kind of like the Space Needle in Seattle. I don’t know the legal liabilities involved in this, but I’m telling you, having been on top of a water tower or two in my lifetime, the view is fascinating and enjoy-able. I think it would be a real boost to downtown businesses if people could come and climb the Biggs water tower. This tower is something that could be a community game-changer. More significant than changing the name of Biggs to “got milk.” Also, of note when it comes to Biggs, we hear notice that Nate Wilkinson of the City Council has decided not to run for County Supervisor. He would have been a great County Supervisor because he is part of a rare City Council that works together and gets stuff done. If we could trans-plant Wilkinson to Chico and have him be Mayor there, America would be a much better place. Biggs-Gridley and Oroville have done so much for the peo-ple who got burned out of their lives; Chico govern-ment continues to bring shame upon themselves. Good leaders matter, espe-cially during and after a disaster. H

Wilkinson Backs Kimmelshue in Supervisor Race

Forwarded to the Gridley Herald From Tod Kimmelshue

BIGGS, CA (MPG) - Mayor of Biggs Nathan Wilkinson announced he is ending his campaign for County Supervisor and endorsing Tod Kimmelshue in the race for the 4th District.

“I want to thank my family, friends, and supporters who have helped me and supported my candidacy for Supervisor. My decision to end this campaign did not come lightly, nor without great consider-ation,” said Wilkinson. “Ultimately, the most important thing for Butte County and the 4th District is to have the right leader for the job. We need someone who will protect our rural way of life and not burden our farmers, ranchers, and

families with more government over-reach. As much as in my heart I wanted the job, it is more important that we ensure that the wrong person does not end up in that seat. Tod has my full sup-port, and we look forward to partnering on solutions as I continue to serve the City of Biggs.”

The 4th District is one of three County Supervisor seats up for election in March next year.

“I extend my sincere appreciation to Nate for his service to our country and the City of Biggs,” said Kimmelshue. “We both agree that Butte County is the jewel of the North State that we must protect from those who don’t share our values and don’t understand our rural commu-nity. I’m grateful for his support.” H

Gallagher Urges Veto of Rent Control Legislation

By Curtis Grima

SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Assemblyman James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) sent a letter to Governor Newsom urging a veto of Assembly Bill 1482 (rent control). Gallagher also offered the following state-ment on the measure:

“Year after year, the CA Legislature passes bills that totally jack up the cost of living. They pile on

regulations and laws that drive up the cost of rent and the cost of construc-tion. And then they have the audacity to blame land-lords for homelessness. The Sacramento majority has been talking about poverty and homelessness for the last decade. They pass bills to ‘help’ but the problem has gotten worse. Policies like this rent control mea-sure will not help people on the margins. Period.”

For more information on Assemblyman Gallagher visitwww.assembly.ca.gov/Gallagher

Assemblyman James Gallagher represents the 3rd Assembly District, which encompasses all of Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba counties as well as portions of Butte and Colusa counties.

CHP Helicopter Visits Gridley Scouts

By Cindy Scott

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - California Highway Patrol Officers Jason Hertzell and Matt Calcutt (L) flew their helicopter into Gridley to speak to Scout Troops 24 and 48 about their flight work and careers. Pilot Hertzell and Flight Officer Paramedic Calcutt explained that they do three things with the helicopter–search and rescue,

medevac, and law enforcement. The heli-copter cost $3 million, has an $800,000 infrared camera under the front nose, has room for one medevac patient, and is the only aircraft model to ever land on Mount Everest. It has a 950 hp engine and the infrared camera can tell if a person is wearing sunglasses from three miles away. The Scouts had plenty of questions and enjoyed watching landing and takeoff. H

Gridley Gun Show Draws Crowd to Fairgrounds

By Dirk Damon

G R I D L E Y, C A ( M P G ) - Hundreds of hunting, fishing and general out-door enthusiasts streamed into the Butte County Fairgrounds for the annual Gridley Gun Show. The event was hosted Sept. 14-15 in the Expo Hall by Chico Gun Shows.

Organizers Blair Snyder and Hildy Langewis of Chico Gun Shows coordi-nate approximately eight gun shows annually. The Gridley event typically takes place in October but was moved to September to accommodate Paradise Rod & Gun Club’s planned show during that month. That event, however, has since been canceled, according to Snyder.

“These (gun shows) have been more difficult to do in the state of California,” said Snyder, who has been

co-hosting regional gun shows for 10 years with Langewis. He cited the changing political atmosphere nationally regarding ammuni-tion as part of the reason.

“Ammunition has taken the biggest hit,” Snyder said. “It’s probably down 75 percent. Also, back-ground checks are a big issue. There are just strict safety checks.”

For the avid outdoors-man, the Gridley Gun Show had a lot to offer. Vendors, artists and col-lectors from Butte and surrounding counties were on hand to sell, trade and show off their wares.

Cal Crawford of Red Bluff had an array of mil-itary rifles on display for sale. Nearly all of Crawford’s firearms were military rifles that had been restored or refurbished and, according to Crawford, included a bit of history.

The most expensive of his collectibles at the show was a U.S. Springfield 1903 Model.

“This rifle was used dur-ing World War I,” Crawford said. “It has the original cartouche by the officer, which is why the $1600 price tag.” A cartouche is a stamp that is embossed on the rifle at the time of rifle’s issuance.

Aside from typical hunt-ing accessories, there was also a variety of search-ing gear for patrons to enjoy. Vernon Roper of Marysville brought his metal detector trade to the gun show, displaying that metal detecting is a kind of “hunt” that the public can enjoy as well.

Snyder and Langewis are gearing up for Chico Gun Shows hallmark event scheduled in February 2020 at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico. H

Senator Nielsen Applauds Governor’s Crackdown on Vaping and e-Cigarettes

By Nghia Nguyen

S A C R A M E N T O R E G I O N , CA (MPG) - Governor Gavin Newsom issued an Executive Order to develop recommendations to remove illegal and counterfeit vap-ing products from stores, direct a public awareness campaign, develop recom-mendations to place warning signs and impose stricter age verification requirements.

Senator Jim Nielsen said, “Nicotine negatively affects teenagers’ development

- emotionally, behaviorally and physically. Protecting our youth is a bipartisan issue, and policy makers must do what we can to safeguard them.”

T h e G o v e r n o r ” s announcement fol lows President Donald Trump’s plans for the Food and Drug Administration to ban e-cig-arette flavors.

Parents across the nation are seeing their other-wise healthy children suffer from popcorn lungs, chronic coughing and other

ailments. Some have gone to hospitals, where they are in medically induced comas.

In the Sacramento region, a young man from Loomis struggled to fight for his life earlier this month due to respiratory failure. Doctors believed his illness was due to vaping. He is now home.

U p o n w i t n e s s i n g this growing epidemic, concerned parents have edu-cated themselves so they can raise public awareness.

Commentary by Leanne McCrate

Dear Dietitian,

I’ve been experiencing a lot of digestive problems like stomach cramping and bloating. My friend who has celiac disease thinks I may have it, too. I have an appointment with my doc-tor and have been reading up on celiac disease. What is the difference in gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, and wheat allergy?

– Susan

Dear Susan,

It can be very disruptive to have a digestive problem, and I’m glad you are tak-ing the right steps to get this resolved. First off, gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye). It is also used as a binder in some products such as soy sauce, ice cream, and hot dogs. Binders are used in food processing to thicken and improve the product’s texture.

Celiac disease is an auto-immune, genetic disorder that affects as many as three million Americans. It is caused by a reaction to gli-adin, a component of gluten. The body’s reaction to glia-din causes a flattening of the

villi, the fingerlike projec-tions in the small intestines that facilitate the passage of fluids and nutrients. This damage, in turn, results in malabsorption of nutrients.

Symptoms of celiac disease include diar-r h e a , a b d o m i n a l cramping and bloating, and possible weight loss from malabsorption. One may also experience headaches and joint pain. A physician will perform a blood test to look for certain antibod-ies. If these are found, the next step is an intestinal biopsy to look for damage to the villi, which will pro-vide a definitive diagnosis of celiac disease.

Gluten sensitivity, some-times called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, is not well-defined in the medical community, and there are no blood tests to diagnose this condition. Symptoms produced after consum-ing gluten are similar to those with celiac disease, but damage to the small intestine is not found. It is usually diagnosed after rul-ing out celiac disease and wheat allergy.

Wheat allergy is some-times confused with celiac disease, but these condi-tions differ. With a wheat allergy, the body produces antibodies to the proteins in wheat. In celiac disease, the body has a response to a specific protein, gluten, and the body’s reaction is differ-ent than a typical allergic reaction.

A wheat allergy occurs when the body mistakes this substance as harmful. Symptoms occur after eat-ing wheat and sometimes

when inhaling wheat flour, and may include itching, hives, diarrhea, and even anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threaten-ing allergic reaction that requires immediate medi-cal attention.

If you are sensitive to gluten, you are also sensi-tive to wheat. However, if you are allergic to wheat, you will react to other components of wheat, not just gluten. Therefore, you need to be sure all the products you buy are labeled “wheat-free” as well as “gluten-free.”

It is important to note that certain nutrients may be lacking in a gluten-free and/or wheat-free diet. While wheat flour is enriched with nutrients that are stripped during processing, gluten- free manufacturers are not required to enrich or for-tify their products. Missing nutrients may include vitamin B 12, thiamin, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and fiber. You may con-sider taking a supplement to obtain these vitamins, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to get your fiber. Consult a Registered Dietitian to design a healthy meal plan that works for you.Until next time, be healthy!Dear Dietitian

The Partnership, Not the Family, is

the ProblemDear Dave,My two brothers-in-law and

I have been thinking about going into business together as a side project in the real estate world. One of them is an architect and licensed general contractor, one has a success-ful painting business, and I’m a chief financial officer with a CPA background. Plus, I had a lot of construction experience as a young man. I know you’re not a big fan of business part-nerships, but how do you feel about a family business like this?. – Dan

Dear Dan,

Going into business with family isn’t my big concern here. I’ve said many times that partnerships are the only ships that won’t sail, and I’m a firm believer in that philosophy. I would encourage you guys to

set up a situation where one of you is the owner, then fig-ure out a plan where the other guys get paid off the bottom line – as if they were owners. Trust me, anything with three heads is going to end up being a monster at some point.

Here’s the thing about fam-ily businesses. When everyone understands their role and has the best interest of the company in mind, family busi-nesses can be a lot more fun and more successful than non-family businesses. Statistics show the average family busi-ness lasts 60 years, while the average publicly-traded com-pany lasts about 15 years.

So, there’s nothing inher-ently wrong with the family part of the equation. It’s the partnership aspect I’d stay away from. – Dave

Renter’sInsurance?

Dear Dave,We just helped move our

son into a cheap, off-campus apartment a few blocks from where he is attending college. We signed the agreement, and are paying the rent, because he makes very good grades. Do you think renter’s insurance is a smart buy? It’s less than $12 a month, but the minimum coverage I can get is $15,000,

and he probably has less than $1,000 worth of belongings there. – Kevin

Dear Kevin,

I’d get renter’s insurance. My guess is it also comes with five or six figures in personal liability coverage, as well. That’s in case he’s out on the patio with his buddies, some-one slips and falls, and they decide to sue because daddy’s on the lease.

In a case like this, because there’s so little to start with, it’s not theft or fire taking the contents of the apartment that you’re worried about. It’s the liability portion of the cover-age that makes it worth every penny of what you’d be pay-ing. That alone makes it worth $10 to $12 a month just to make sure a slip-and-fall doesn’t mess with your life! – Dave

questions:

Do you have an emergency kit with nonperishable food, one

gallon of water per person per day, medications, flashlights

and batteries?

If you own a generator, is it safe to operate?

Do you know how to open your garage

door manually?

Can we reach you in the event of a Public Safety Power Shutoff? Update your contact info atpge.com/mywildfirealerts.

Parents have arranged for after-school care and activities. Snacks carefully stored. New backpacks ready for action.

All is ready for a new start, right? Wrong! With all the best intentions, things are not perfect. Things have been left out.

Parents, have you given your children the shield, breastplate, and sword nec-essary to protect them this year? No children can’t carry weapons to school, but this armor can be used anywhere at any time with no fear, metal detectors will not locate these.

This armor is the virtues needed in life to survive

the pitfalls placed in our path.

By training our children to be truthful, trustworthy, dependable, and disci-plined, we armor them with weapons they really need – not knives, guns, drugs, or other devices known to exist in youth circles.

We can provide the best course of study in the world but fail to give them a complete education.

We must train and teach our children in body, soul, and mind. If we are lax in one area, we may cause our young people to falter.

Teaching family values is the primary responsibil-ity of our family unit. It makes us who we are. The traditions handed down from family to family guarantee us that life will continue on earth in some orderly manner.

Without soldiers pre-pared for battle against the problems facing our world, we may lose the battle for lives. The pressing issue is saving our youth so they will have a chance to meet their tomorrow prepared!

God prepared His peo-ple to battle their foes. He prepares us to fight as well-trained as mod-ern Marines. He has given

us all the necessary tools. He even sent His right-hand man, Christ, to train us. Therefore, we must all be soldiers, marching for-ward for our God. We must always be on guard duty, watching and preparing to move on command.

Armed with God’s Word, the Bible, and protected by His armor of virtue, truth, knowledge, and trust, we can be warriors for a better life. Our youth must not go unprotected into the world at any time.

Just like new shoes and coats against the weather, our youth must carry those teachings that protect them from storms they cannot see, but which bombard them day after day.

As we prepare for a new school year, let us pre-pare our families for all the experiences they will face this year and every year. It is our duty as family teachers to instill the best possible education for life, and that includes spiritual values that build confi-dence in eternity.

Join the Gridley United Methodist Church in learn-ing and teaching these values Sunday at 10 am. We are located at the cor-ner of Magnolia and Haskellstreets. H

Biggs Council Meets on New Development

By Dirk Damon

BIGGS, CA (MPG) - The Biggs City Council directed staff to research all options before it would consider approving a res-olution that would divide a 0.29 parcel for development at 330 Aleut St.

The agenda item was tabled to a future meeting by a 3-1 vote, with mayor Nathan Wilkinson casting the lone “no” vote. Councilmember Brian Bassett was absent from the Sept. 10 regular meeting.

City staff and councilmembers com-mented on the pedestrian traffic, namely families walking to and from school, as well as narrow driving conditions. There are also parking issues on 1st Street and at the Aleut trisection.

City Engineer Trin Campos reported that pavement width measurements were narrow and that several options were open to the council. Some of those options included no parking and making it a one-way thoroughfare. City Administrator Mark Sorensen concurred with Campos, as did councilmembers that 1st Street has

been a “longstanding problem” for Biggs residents.

The Biggs City Council meets the sec-ond Tuesday of each month. Meeting sites will be announced as City Hall undergoes a renovation.

In other action, the Biggs City Council: Approved 4-0 a resolution to divide

a vacant 0.26-acre parcel located on the northwest corner of E and 8th streets into two lots. A condition was placed on the resolution that would exclude the project from allowing auto traffic from 8th Street;

Approved 3-0 a resolution to vary the 20-foot rear yard setback required by City zoning requirements by allowing a 10-foot encroachment to allow construc-tion of a duplex residential structure. Councilmember Roger Frith abstained from the vote.

Heard a report from Campos on reim-bursement from the USDA on the City’s wastewater project. To date, the City had $4.5 million waiting to be reimbursed for monies spent on the $11 million project. H

Remembering Sunnyand Head Coach Honoring Mr. "A"community of Live Oak gathered at the high school to unveil not only the new home bleachers and field that were revamped with the community’s tax dollars, but also the score-board that was donated in Sunny’s name by the Kalkat family.

The whole school and community members in attendance joined the Varsity Football team on the field in anticipa-tion for the big unveiling.

As the tarp fell down and revealed the scoreboard, the head coach of the var-sity team, Jim Arostegui, was surprised to see his name on the top of the scoreboard, reading “Jim Arostegui S tadium”. Having coached foot-ball for over 30 years, the school board and students deemed it an appropriate way to honor the foot-ball coach and his years of teaching as he will be retiring this year after a thirty-eight year career.

One thing Jim, or Mr. A, is known for around campus is his perfect attendance, almost never missing a day. It is a rumor among students that if he were to take all his vaca-tion days at once, he could miss a whole school year. Now, every time students, faculty, alumni, and com-munity members of Live Oak visit the stadium they can remember and honor Mr. Jim Arostegui and all he’s done for Live Oak High School. H

Continued from page 1

Coghlan, who lives on nearby Idaho Street, attended the meeting circu-lating a letter outlining his concerns about the tentative parcel map for the development. Most of Coghlan’s con-cerns focused on traffic flow, pedestrian safety and the need for the city to ensure the proper development of surround-ing streets likely to be impacted by the increase in both motor and pedestrian traffic. Coghlan wrote, “To keep this section of the road safe, I ask that the Gridley Planning Commission require road improvements that keep the same standards used for the construction of Heron Landing and Eagle Meadows and that they be completed to prior to resi-dential occupancy.”

The term “future street improvements” had been tossed around by both appli-cant, engineer and the city, as property

between the Hilbers development and Heron Landing remains an island unin-corporated in the development of the area. The hope is that improvements along the eastern side of West Liberty Rd. between the two housing devel-opments will be possible in the future, bridging the gap between the two com-munities. That is yet to be seen. At this time there is no plan in the engineering schematics to widen West Biggs-Gridley Rd and add a right- hand turning lane into the Hilbers development, like with Heron Landing and Eagle Meadows. Streets to the south of the development, Peach, Idaho and parts of Spruce, are not equipped to handle pedestrian traffic.

Gridley City Council tabled the deci-sion to proceed with the approval of the tentative subdivision map until the next city council meeting in order to further review items of concern. H

The following are stories that appeared in the Gridley Herald 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 years ago:

25 Years Ago (1993)Live Oak wins

grant Live Oak has been

awarded a $14,700 grant to help fund a study to determine the feasibility of pro-viding a facility in the city for the Head Start Program. The funds will come from plan-ning and technical assistance money that is available under the federal Community Development Block Grant program which the State Department of Housing and Com-munity Development administers for small cities.

50 Years Ago (1968) Biggs Experi-

ment Station hosts rice growers

Rice Growers of Butte, Sutter, Colusa, Glen and Yuba Coun-ties, as well as from other areas of Cali-fornia are expected to attend the annual Rice Field Day being held today at the Rice Experiment State at Biggs. Two group dis-cussions and a tour of the station will be on the itinerary. The an-nual meeting of the California Cooperative Rice Research Foun-dation will conclude the Field Day events.

75 Years Ago (1943)Blast kills 1 - in-

jures 40Fire of undeter-

mined origin destroyed the Sutter Butte Canal Co. warehouse build-ing on the corner of Spruce and Virginia Streets in Gridley. A large blast incidental to the fi re caused the death of Ernie Lujon, 17, a resident of Gridley and senior student at Gridley High School. Ten others were in-jured to such an extent

that hospitalization was required and some 30 others were treated at local physicians for fractures, cuts, bruises and shock. The cause of the blast has not been determined - a rumor that dynamite was being stored in the building was refuted by the canal company management. Other theories are that the blast was caused by the explosion of an oxygen tank, part of an acety-lene welding outfi t. Confusion reigned af-ter the blast and vol-unteers were needed to help treat all of the in-jured, some even being sent to the Yuba City hospital for treatment. 100 Years Ago (1918)

Airplanes visit Gridley

Monday four air-planes, presumably from Mather Field, visited Gridley and one landed in the Onstott tract north of town. Three of the pilots did straight fl ying, circled the town and went away, while one pi-lot did stunts over the city. Performing hair raising maneuvers, he sometimes dropped within a hundred feet of the ground. The planes were marked with the American star and apparently were the Curtiss patter training planes.

125 Years Ago (1893)Fire at BiggsA destructive fi re

occurred at Biggs on September 1st, at around 10 o’clock in the morning. The rail-road hotel, Hastings Butcher Shop, Chas. Porters offi ce and a va-cant building were de-stroyed. The following buildings were dam-aged considerably: La Point Bros. dry goods store, Dr. Cleveland’s offi ce and the Sacra-mento Valley Bank. all communication is shut off except by telephone through Butte City.

Candy Cane Lane BeginsThe Kids’ Choir will begin rehearsals for the

children’s Christmas musical “Candy Cane Lane” on Tuesday, September 4, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Gridley Christian Church. Children four and older are wel-come to participate in this fun 35 minute musical. We meet every Tuesday until the performance date of Sunday, December 2.

In this Christmas musical theater experience we learn the truth that God alone can satisfy our hun-gry hearts. Candy Cane Jane leads Marsha, Mark and Mindy through the Soul Food Forest to Miss Ginger’s gingerbread house to learn the recipe for life. They even go for a ride on Casey’s train to learn how to grow. Other highlights include the story of the Christmas candy cane and its unique witness during the season, and a heart-warming testimony of “Let’s Light a Candle” with Away in a Manger.” This cheer-ful musical for children contains important messages for all. Come and join us! Singing for Jesus is fun!

There are Bible lessons and snacks, along with singing, drams and simple choreography. Some sign language will be learned as well. Each child is given a special part in the program that he/she is capable of doing well in order to gain self-confi dence and to learn how to work together as a team to accomplish a goal.

One free CD will be given to each family. Partici-pation in this choir is entirely free. Donations, how-ever, are gratefully accepted.

Gridley Christian Church is located on the cor-ner of Hazel and Washington Streets next to Sav-Mor Market. Call Bonnie Schnepel for more information at 933-8945.

Gridley Thumbs and Roots

By Barbara Ott

On the Road: As we crossed Arizona, we saw a lot of brush and few cac-tus. Once we entered New Mexico we climbed in elevation and the brush changed to a low growing juniper forest. The tallest trees were about 20 ft. tall. It was a rich dark green which contrasted beautifully with

the reddish rocks and the sil-ver sages. This forest is vast, it covers miles and many mountains. It was strange to see such a large forest with such short trees.

In Arizona we visited the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. These fan-tastic places can be seen in the Petrified Forest National Park. It is a wonder to see logs on the ground and real-ized they are solid stone. Many have a core of agate. New logs are constantly being exposed from under-ground and in the sides of sandy hills. The striped layers of colored rock in the hills and cliffs of the Painted Desert are haunt-ingly beautiful. Mixed into all of these earthy and rocky delights are the plants. Stocky bushes with silvery

leaves and twisted trunks, tough stickery wild flowers and many other little plants hugging the ground. While we were visiting this area, we saw a wonderful exam-ple of instant bloom after a rain. The bushes were sil-very green and gray, plain and hearty. When some rain moved through the next day millions of tiny yellow flowers popped out on these bushes. This added a sunny shine of yellow throughout the desert greens and grays. A magical bit of life happen-ing instantly.

New Mexico is where we saw our first fields of cac-tus. There were drifts of cholla style cactus for miles mixed into the grasses and the junipers. The desert is beautiful but not a place I could live. H

CORNERSPARKY'SSPARKY'S

Pet Fire Safety

Pets give us comfort, friendship, and unconditional love. Our connection to them can be among the strongest relationships in our lives. But pets can cause fires. We need to be careful with pets in the home.

SAFETY TIPS• Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or knock over cooking

equipment. Keep pets away from stoves and countertops.• Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters.• Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in

place.• Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents. Have a “pet-free zone” of at

least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.

• Consider battery-operated, flameless candles. They can look and smell like real candles.

• Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.

SMOKE ALARMS• Have working smoke alarms on every level of

the home. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.

• If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out.• Never go back inside for pets in a fire. Tell

firefighters if your pet is trapped.

Pets and WildfiresMake sure pets are included in your

family’s wildfire evacuation plan. Build an evacuation kit for each pet in your household. Ensure each kit is a size and weight that can be quickly and easily loaded into a vehicle when packing to evacuate.

Pets and wild animals have a part in starting about 700 home fires per year. Roughly three- quarters of these fires were started by cooking equipment, fireplaces or chimneys, lighting, or candles. H

Butte County Sheri� ReportSeptember 4th - September 16th

When you live in a small town like ours, some-times you get a bit thirsty for entertainment. I mean, we’ve all heard most of Windy Wilson’s stories, and the radio and the televi-sion stations are in a much bigger town.

But once in a while, we have Willoughby. I think Dud passed him on the highway before he got here and phoned Doc down at the Mule Barn coffee shop. The entertainment alarm went off more loudly than the tornado siren, and in five minutes flat, we were down at the grocery store, wait-ing on the latest sales spiel Willoughby might bring.

Our favorite so far was the artificial seafood with a shelf life longer than writ-ten memory, but we were

counting on Willoughby to come up with something new and terrific. He didn’t disappoint.

When he grinned and waved and leaped out of his car, we gasped. Blue hair. Now Willoughby normally had brown hair mixed with gray, a natu-ral look for a middle-aged man. But blue hair?

We got inside the gro-cery store quicker than Wi l loughby. Annet te looked up from the cash register at today’s audience and smiled. “Willoughby?” Of course, we said.

Then here he came, necktie and all, with his sample case.

“Annette,” he said, “you know we need to keep up with the times, and that’s why I brought you this new age-reversal product called Fall Back. Yes, ma’am, in this kit is the answer to sweeping away the years and returning to that look we had when we were back in school.

“Inside this modestly-priced kit are hair colors that will mark you as being hip … you know … with

it? Blue, green, purple, all the good colors. And then we have this …”

And he pulled out some-thing that looked like tweezers on steroids.

“ A n n e t t e , ” s a i d Willoughby, “your cus-tomers can bypass all that costly care by doing things for themselves. Yes, this is the combination tattoo nee-dle and piercing clamp. All in one..”

“Willoughby,” Annette said, “how many times did you have blue hair when you were in school?”

“Well …”“And trot out your tat-

toos and piercings for us, too,” said Doc.

Willoughby looked like someone just stepped on his pet frog.

“I can give you a really good price on this kit, anyway.”

Doc nodded and whis-pered. “I’m sure he can.”

G R I D L E Y, C A ( M P G ) - Members of Beta Omega Master chapter of Beta Sigma Phi , met for Beginning Day recently at the home of president Dell DeMeyer. Lunch and a social meeting were held to kick off the new sorority year following the theme, “Stand Tall-Stand Out-Dream Big,” featuring pink flamingos and other tropical decor. Highlights of the event were new yearbooks for each mem-ber and a Welcome Ritual for new member Ruby Dickey-Mena. Members made reservations for an upcoming Far Northern California Council brunch at Win River Casino in Redding and reports were made on the two outings held earlier in the sum-mer, including the movie “RocketMan” and the Yuba City B Street Theater production of “Mamma Mia.” Regular meetings will resume in September at the Lake Madrone cabin of Kathy Adams.

Beta Sigma Phi is an International social, cul-tural and philanthropic g r o u p w i t h a r o u n d 100,000 members, and is for women of all ages, backgrounds and inter-ests. Membership is

By Seti Long

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - For 44 years, the City of Gridley

has benefited from the service of Frank Hall. From the

1970’s to the early 90’s, Hall dedicated 22 years to the

Gridley Police Department, rising through the ranks to

become Lieutenant. From there he branched into another

venue of civil service, joining the ranks of the Gridley

City Council, where he served as a council member for

an additional 22 years. Within the last month, Hall has

stepped down from the council to tackle health issues.

As a tribute and expression of gratitude for Hall’s ser-

vice, members of the City Council, City Administration

and Public Works Department felt it only right to cel-

ebrate his career with a special dedication. During an

unannounced proclamation at Monday’s City Council

Meeting, Paul Eckert, City Administrator and Daryle

Dye, from the Gridley Public Works Department, pre-

sented a custom made street sign featuring the names

of the two future streets in the FEMA Camp Fire

Community to Council Members, officially declaring

one “Hall Rd” in honor of Hall’s service. All city officials

present expressed their heartfelt thanks and well-wishes

for Hall, with Mayor Bruce Johnson sharing how Hall

had inspired his involvement in city government.

Hall, who is currently focusing on his battle with

By Seti Long

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - After 40 years of

dedicated service, the Gridley com-

munity is losing Dr. Nikon Udom to

retirement.Dr. Udom began his career in

medicine after graduating from

Chulalongkorn University, one of the

most prestigious schools in his native

Thailand. It was there he received

his MD and graduated with honors,

6th in his class. In 1973, he moved

to Chicago, IL, to do his residency

at Cook County Hospital and

later did his fellowship in

Endocrinology and Metabolic

medicine at the University of

Illinois in Chicago.

In the year 1979, he set off to

sunny California in an attempt

to get out of the bitter Chicago

cold and found himself in Gridley.

After trying the town on for size and

realizing what it had to offer, Dr.

Udom and his young family decided

to stay. On January 1st 1980, he offi-

cially took over the practice of Dr.

Sears establishing his own clinic

on Spruce Street and beginning what

would be a 40 year career working

with Biggs-Gridley Hospital – now

Orchard Hospital.

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - After

a touching dedication to

council member Frank

Hall, Gridley City Council

addressed auditing services

and budgeting issues.

The City of Gridley has

employed the auditing ser-

vices of Mann, Urrutia and

Nelson for the last six con-

secutive years. Current

Finance Director Juan Solis

said that it is a good idea

for cities to switch audit-

ing companies periodically,

but recommended that the

Council retain the compa-

ny’s services for the next

two years as his last day

holding the position is

Friday, April 5th.

Council approved the

resolution for a two-year

extension with Mann,

Urrutia and Nelson to ease

the transition between

Finance Directors and

allow the future director

time to acclimate to the

system of operations.

Council then reviewed

and adopted budget expen-

diture increases that would

allocate funds for 2 com-

munity service officers

and the city’s affiliation

with Butte Interagency

Narcotics Task Force.

Recent weather has put

strain on the city’s pump

stations - with pumps

operating at 100% capac-

ity and crews working 72

hours straight - rotating

power in order to prevent

overload and pump fail-

ure. Council authorized

additional $80,000 for

the purchase of two back

up pumps, and also dedi-

cated $20,000 more to tree

removal services.

The current city bud-

get is forecasted to come

in nearly 2 million dollars

under budget for the 2019

year, and the City expects

these additional expendi-

tures to have little effect

on the overall department’s

finances.Closing out the agenda

items, Council Members

discussed the appointment

of a new council mem-

ber to fill the vacancy left

by Todd Farr. After review

of the applicants, a motion

to appoint Zach Torres as

the city’s newest coun-

cil member was passed

unanimously by the coun-

cil. Torres, who has been

actively involved with

both the Gridley Chamber

of Commerce and Gridley

Planning Commission

in past years, will be

appointed at the next City

Council Meeting. H

Volleyball Competes at HomeBy Joshua Porcayo

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Gridley High School JV and var-sity volleyball teams competed at home this past week against the vis-iting Marysville Indians and the Colusa Redhawks. On Tuesday, September 10th, the varsity Bulldogs played five sets against the Indians in a close match. Seniors Eliza Sannar, Rubi Tena, and Lorena Martinez had an incredi-ble match. Juniors Marissa Patane, Ally Mardesich, and Isabelle Hernandez also contributed to the success of the evening with excellent ball con-trol and passing. The Lady Bulldogs won the first set 25-18, but dropped the next two sets 25-19 and 25-21. The Lady Bulldogs won the fourth set 25-21, but fell in the fifth set 15-12.

Earlier in the evening the JV Lady Bulldogs hit the court against the Indians in a best-of-three matchup. Standout f r e shman , Kenn i son Cota, helped lead the Lady Bulldogs to vic-tory. Sophomores Audrey Johnson and Haven Counihan played excel-lent defense and provided controlled passes to their teammates for scoring opportunities. The Lady Bulldogs won two out of three sets for the victory.

O n W e d n e s d a y , September 11th, Gridley was back on their home court against Colusa. Varsity struggled on the evening, but saw great teamwork and growth from juniors Marissa Patane and Isabella Diaz-Infante. Patane had some excellent blocks at the net followed up by some high flying spikes for the score. Tena and Mardesich once again controlled the ball well for the set-up. The varsity Bulldogs fell 25-19, 25-19, and 25-8.

Co ta and the JV Bul ldogs were back in action against the Redhawks in another best-of-three match. This game saw a lot of rota-tion between sophomores Haven Counihan, Aubrey Ponciano, and Audrey Johnson with help from freshman Taylor Perry, Alexia Gutierrez, Emily Luna, Emry Egan, and Becca Hamman. The team chemistry was clicking in each set, but the Lady Bulldogs fell 2-1 and lost the match. H

By Joshua Porcayo

LIVE OAK, CA (MPG) - They’re big. They’re quick. They’re hungry. The Live Oak High School varsity foot-ball team entered the Friday, September 13th, contest against Hamilton with a 1-1 record looking to make it back-to-back wins on the season. The crowd was electric from the opening kickoff and the team fed off that energy all the way into half-time. On the first play from scrimmage, junior run-ning back, Odin Moody, got the handoff from quar-terback, Tony Vallejo, for a run up the middle. Moody would cut to the right side of the field and break free for a 70-yard touchdown run. After a 2-point conversion run Live Oak led 8-0 only 19 seconds into the game.

A bad snap on the first play of Hamilton’s offense resulted in a fumble recov-ery for Live Oak’s defense at the Hamilton 18-yard line. The student section in the stands went wild as the Lions got the ball back. Junior fullback, Hayden Langley, would punch it in from 6-yards out giv-ing the Lions a 16-0 lead after another 2-point con-version with 10:01 to go in the first quarter. The Live Oak defense kept the pres-sure going and stripped

the ball from the Hamilton offense setting up great field position again from the Hamilton 40-yard line. After a 21-yard scram-ble, Vallejo connected with Dominic Herrera for a 19-yard touchdown pass. After another 2-point con-version, Lions went up 24-0 with 9:31 remaining in the first quarter.

The Live Oak defense continued its first quarter dominance when Esteban Rodriguez stepped in front of a Hamilton pass and took it to the house 45-yards for the pick-6. After the PAT kick, Live Oak led 31-0 with 8:34 to go in the first quar-ter. Hamilton looked to gain some offensive momentum, but another forced fumble by the Lions defense ended any threat.

On the next play of offense, Nick Gomes, broke it down the right sideline for 66-yards before being pushed out of bounds at the 1-yard line. Gomes punched it in on the next play from 1-yard out and increased the Lions lead by a score of 38-0 with 7:05 to go in the first quarter. Another fum-ble recovery late in the first quarter set up a 23-yard touchdown run by Herrera to start the second quarter. Live Oak went into halftime with a 45-0 lead and won the game by a final score of 45-12.

Live Oak will visit the Gridley Bulldogs (1-1), Friday, September 20th, for the annual Harvest Bowl. Junior Varsity starts at 5:30PM and Varsity begins at 7:30pm. H

GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - The conclusion of week 8 marked the end of the reg-ular season for 530 Sports’ slow pitch softball sum-mer season on Thursday, September 12, 2019. Every

team in both leagues com-peted each week in hopes of making one of four play-off spots. In the Monday night league, week 8 meant everything for all six teams, as a win or a loss would continue or end a season. The Ball Busters entered

week 8 as the number one seed and beat Pitches Be Crazy 17-5 to take first place in the regular season. A win by Sons of Pitches over Softball & Chill and a loss for All About That Base by the Dirty Birds mixed the entire playoff picture up.

The regular season con-cluded as follows: 1st place Ball Busters (6-2), 2nd place Sons of Pitches (4-4), 3rd place Dirty Birds (4-4), 4th place All About That Base (4-4), 5th place Softball & Chill (3-5), and 6th place Pitches Be Crazy (3-5).

T h e Tu e s d a y a n d Thursday night league wasn’t as close of a play-off race as the other league, but Pitch Please upset a perfect regular season for Team H&H with an 8-6 victory. The regular sea-son concluded as follows: 1st place Team H&H (7-1), 2nd place Misfits (6-2), 3rd place Maximum Effort (5-3), 4th place Pitch Please (5-3), 5th place Team SS (3-5), 6th place Default Judgement (2-6), 7th place Knuckle Heads (2-6), and 8th place ATAP (2-6).
