Williams Pioneer Day June 5

Mark your calendars as the City of Williams will play host to the 39th Annual Williams Pioneer Day, Saturday June 5. The volunteers of the Citizens for a Better Williams have once again worked diligently to make this year’s Pioneer Day bigger and better than ever, with added events for the whole family.

The day before the Pioneer Day festivities the Williams Alumni are sponsoring a golf tourney to benefit the Sacramento Valley Museum, Friday, June 4 at the Arbuckle Golf Course. People may sign up as an individual or team as the game for the day is a four man scramble. The tourney is for everyone, even nongolfers.

Saturday will kick off with the parade scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. followed by children’s events at Redinger Park, and a car show will be held downtown. This year there will be a shuttle, horse drawn wagon, from downtown to the Sacramento Valley Museum where there will be Williams Alumni activities and free admission to the museum until 4 p.m.

For your culinary enjoyment, the Citizens for a Better Williams will be selling carne asada dinners with all the trimmings and dance the evening away with live music from Jimmy and the Jets, all to be held on 7th street.

This year attendees have the opportunity to enter a drawing for a Traeger Professional Barbecue, a $1200 value, donated by local Traeger dealer Everett Brainard. Tickets are $10 each or three for $25.

To round out the day, there will be a fireworks display sponsored by Morningstar Packing of Williams.

To learn more about the golf tourney, to enter or become a sponsor call 53-520-0096 or 530-723-0052, you may also download a form from www.sacvalleymuseum.com.

Anyone driving past Williams Elementary last week might have thought they had somehow shifted back in time to the 1850's.

The third graders have begun their Pioneer Unit, where the 100 students and their teachers reenact Pioneer life and a treacherous journey on the Oregon Trail.

(Courtesy Photo)The dress code at Williams Elementary includes prairie bonnets and cowboy hats this month, as students participate in a virtual re-inactment of life as a Pioneer headed West in 1849.

With all in full Pioneer garb, the Williams campus has taken on a new appearance where the dress code now includes prairie bonnets and apron and boots and cowboy hats. Students have new names, become part of a pioneer "family", and actually participate in a virtual wagon train headed west.

The Pioneer Unit was started 12 years ago by teacher Jane Peacock and has morphed into a full blown month-long tradition that will conclude when the wagon train reaches Sutter's Fort and the young pioneers graduate on May 27th.

The Grand Opening of the latest Colusa Regional Medical Center Clinic is scheduled to take place Wednesday, May 26, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at 151 East Webster in Colusa, previously the home of the UC Davis Clinic. “The grand opening is an opportunity for people to meet the doctors, tour the clinic and see what services are available locally,” said Marilyn Davison, CRMC Board member and CRMC Art Committee chair. “We are so fortunate to have our own hospital here in Colusa and not to have to travel outside the county. A lot of people may not be aware of the services offered by CRMC, and this event will create awareness.

Besides the unveiling of the clinic, which will host an internist, gynecologist and allergist, guests will be treated to a one-man art show with works by Willows native Vic Kronberg adorning the walls of the facility and easels outside. Russian piano instructor Marina Kashis, who has a studio in Colusa, will be on hand playing live music. Refreshments will be served.

This is a very good way of introducing what is here and to see the magnificent totality of what people have within their distance of transportation, said Dr. Marilyn Kennedy, CRMC Art Committee member, who has been practicing medicine for 52 years.

Anytime we can come together to celebrate, give thanks and see beauty, especially in this economy and other societal ills, is a good thing.

Approximately three years ago a patient was bothered, but mostly uninspired, by the plain, sterilelooking hospital walls. Davison took action and, together with the CRMC board, created the CRMC Art Committee.

Being considered the top of your class can be quite an honor, but at Pierce High School in Arbuckle students get more than a pat on the back.

Once a year the top academic achievers in the Junior and Senior classes are honored at a special dinner dedicated to them and the teachers they feel inspired them the most.

The resume of each student is impressive with the various clubs, groups, community service deeds, and other achievements filling page after page.

Parents and loved ones get to hear their special student lauded for those accomplishments.

It’s a special evening for the educators as well. They get to see first hand how they have affected the lives of their students.

Congratulations to the PHS 2010 Distinguished Dozen!

Award-Winning Wooden Coins Back for Fair Central Valley Gas Storage (CVGS) is returning this year as the 2010 Colusa County Fair Wooden Coin sponsor. Its popularity and success in years past Colusa County earned it the title of Small Fairs Best Single Day Promotion from the Western Fairs Association, and resulted in a number of other county fairs picking up the idea for their fairs.

Thanks to the generosity of CVGS, $1,000 in wooden coins, redeemable at any Colusa County Fair food vender, will once again be handed out by fair “spies” around the county. The coins are also available at Bank of America, US Bank, Umpqua Bank, Butte Community Bank and Wells Fargo Bank in Colusa.

In Arbuckle they can be found at the Umpqua Bank and at the U.S. Post Office. In Williams they are at the U.S. Post Office and at US Bank. In Maxwell, Stonyford and Princeton, the coins are at the U.S. Post Offices. If individuals are overheard talking about the fair, they will receive a $1 coin.

Collecting the coins has become competition among some coffee groups.

Colusa County Fair CEO Carolan Meek, who devised the fair promotion a few years ago, reminds fair patrons only the 2010 coins will be redeemable at the fair. “Previous years’ coins are no longer redeemable, but they are still great collectibles,” she says.

Letter to Editor

had the opportunity to participate in the Field of Dreams program, an event designed to give specialneeds children and their families a weekend away, fishing and hunting up in the hills. Most of us don’t give a second thought to our ability to go fishing when we want, but for some, it’s an almost impossible task. The sheer logistics of getting wheelchairs and health equipment out to where they can participate may seem impossible, but, thanks to people like local man Tom Dermody, they have worked and created a support system to open up these outdoor opportunities to everyone. The kids are absolutely amazing and so are their parents, so positive and thankful for the chance to participate.

But, alas, one day I met a special someone, a man I knew was different from anyone else I had ever met. Right from the beginning I knew my life had changed for the better. Within three months we were engaged and had our dream wedding nine months later.

After three years of struggling, we welcomed our first child into the world and 18 short months later our second.

Chicken report: I do believe that if these chickens aren’t completely traumatized, they should start laying eggs anytime. Although I feel the whole free-range thing is over-rated, it seems to be time to shut the gate on the pen. I think I would rather spray for bugs!

While watching television the other evening I had the sensation of being watched, then I heard a tapping at the sliding glass door.

Low and behold it was Meredith’s beloved Chickadee at the door. It was a little creepy! What we do for our children (husband included)!

Prior to opening I had a lot of input from family and friends as to what the name of my business should be. It was a hard decision because I was given some really creative suggestions but one day it came to me that I was happiest being “Auntie Deb” to my nieces and nephews so that was the name I chose. I love all of my customers but most of all I truly have loved being “Auntie Deb” to your kids.

I would like to thank all of you, most of whom I’ve known all of my life and to those that started out as customers and are now dear friends. A special “Thanks” goes out to my helpers over the years. We had many years of great times “decorating” the shop and I couldn’t have done it without you.

You all know who you are.

It has been a wonderful nine years and it has been a pleasure working with you.

Andrea Moore may be reached Thanks again, via email at publisher@ williamspioneerreview.com Debbie “Auntie Deb” Charter Dear Editor:

MOTORIZED MADNESS !!!

It is with a heavy heart and many mixed emotions that Auntie Deb’s will be closing after nine years on Saturday, June 5th. It was a dream of mine to operate my own gift shop and because of your patronage my dream became a reality.

The Arbuckle Elementary Parents Club would like to thank everyone who contributed to the incredible success of our recent walk-athon. Over $9,500 was collected by walkers in kindergarten through fifth grade. Each student walked around the track for 30 minutes and afterwards each student was treated to a bottle of water and a granola bar.

A Special thank you needs to go out to Alsco-Geyer Ace Hardware for donating bottles of water for each student; to all the volunteers who counted money or ran around and made sure everything happened that needed to happen; and finally

to the Arbuckle Elementary school staff who graciously supported this event during a very busy time of the school year.

The money collected will be used to pay for field trip transportation costs, dance academy with Rogelio, and assemblies.

this is a private matter between two neighbors we see no reason for it to be carried into other people’s affairs, nor why this road district should be called upon just at this time to buy another mountain road and be compelled to keep the same in order, and trust the matter will be amicably adjusted by the parties concerned.

Williams Farmer 5/25/1915- RANCH IS A MODEL SACRAMENTO VALLEY WEALTH PROVED ON WILLIAMS HOMESTEAD

Herman Dunlap of PAT ASH Antelope Valley paid Contributor the Farmer a pleasant Sacramento Valley Museum call on Tuesday Probably the best morning. He referred stocked and most us to an article copied from the scientifically handled 1800 acres Colusa Herald in these columns last of land in Northern California is week and requested us to correct the the well known Gibson Ranch at misstatements contained therein.

Mr. Some of the animals on the ranch Schuckman continued through his are of national fame. The oldest son place until he arrived at a point in the of Lily Arcata, and heir to her best road forks, the left road leading to the points, is there, and another famous Noble Place. Here Mr. Dunlap met Holstein, from one of the fine stock the party a persuaded them that he ranches of the east, divides with meant business. The wagon was not him the honors of the Holstein herd, loaded with hay, Mr. Dunlap did not although some of the other members have a shotgun in his hands and the of the herd are equally to blue trouble did not originate over district ribbons and medals. school matters as charged in the In the swine pens are animals that Herald. Mr. Dunlap has no quarrels can trace their ancestry back through with Schuckman but simply stopped the proudest lines of swinish nobility, him from traveling his private road to lines that have made the name of the Noble as he has others.

The distinctive feature of the Gibson Ranch is the adoption and up-to-date Mr. Noble can get right-of-way over ideas that are regarded by many as Mr. Dunlap at any time he chooses to experimental innovations. The only open his field to Mr. Dunlap, and as silos in the vicinity are here, two

big towers with green feed that keep the dairy herd up to the maximum of milk production the year round.

The dairy barn is flushed with a hose twice a day, and is as clean as a Dutch kitchen. The same pressure tank is used for this purpose furnishes the force to send the skim milk through pipes from the creamery to the calf pens a block or two away. It also furnishes the power for irrigation such land as it needs water through the dry season.

One large field is supplied with 18inch mains, from which pipes are laid for sub irrigation. It was an experiment, but it worked, and will be copied in time by the more timid ones.

A field of year-old alfalfa is also an object lesson. This alfalfa is as thick on the ground and as high as any three year old crop in the Sacramento Valley. The secret is that the ground was inoculated before planting. The theory of inoculating land for alfalfa is not a new one, but it remained for the Gibson Ranch to put it in practice in this section of the country. It costs about $1.50 per acre for the operation, and this year will turn in $10.00 and acre profit on the investment.

Those who tell of the wonderful yields of wheat that once gladdened the hearts of the grain raisers of the valley should see a field of that cereal that is now heading out on the Gibson Ranch. It would be thicker if there were any room to thicken up in, and it is as high now as the fence. No crop ever grown on virgin soil was thriftier, or promised a more abundant yield than does this field the present year. It is good simply because the soil has been rejuvenated and brought back to its original richness and better, through the growing of alfalfa upon it for a few years. The alfalfa richly paid for itself while it held the ground, and the humus which it collected has been left as a legacy that has transformed a worn-out field into one of the richest pieces of soil in the neighborhood.

It has simply been bred up from a scrub patch of land to a high grade worthy of registration in any stud book of aristocracy Hard work, hard sense, and the courageous and consistent application of scientific principles in always striving for something better are what has made the Gibson Ranch “different” and the results are apparent.

It would be a splendid thing to own a ranch like this but a mighty big job to make one.

Williams Farmer 5/25/1951-H. A. ATWOOD OFF FAIR BOARD AFTER 15 YEARS; MAKES STATEMENT Williams California May 24, 1951 TO THE PEOPLE OF COLUSA COUNTY: My term as director of the 44th

May 7, 2010 - May 21, 2010

5

District Agricultural Association expired on January 1, 1951 and I have been serving since then under the provision that one must serve until his successor has been appointed.

I am advised that I am not to be reappointed to the Fair Board after fifteen years of service, and the reason given for dropping me was that I have been active in the Democratic Party in this county.

This puts politics in the Fair Boards and the Fair Boards into politics. It has always been my belief that it was fundamental that all good citizens should affiliate with, and support the political party of his choice, provided that that party did not menace our American Heritage.

Mr. Terrill Sartain of Colusa has been appointed to succeed me and Mr. Ronald Abernathy of Williams is to succeed Mr. Robert Pryor, who resigned due to his Draft Board responsibilities. After a year and half of vacancy, Maxwell will now be represented by Mr. Alonzo Dennis and Mr. David Stowe of Colusa has been reappointed. These good men, together with the remainder of the old board, will constitute a strong and able Board to administer your Fair.

I wish to extend my sincere tears of thanks to the people of Colusa County for their support of the Fair during my fifteen years of stewardship, and this support has made the Fair grow to its present satisfactory proportions.

To Messer’s. Lange, Williams, Pryor, Britton, Griffin and Stowe, and the past directors: No one ever worked with more congenial boards as we have had during the last several years, and the friendships formed will be of lasting pleasure.

SUPPORT YOUR FAIR. It is a truest means of expressing your belief in our Democracy, as by showing what you produce, what you make, and what you do, you are giving factual testimony of our American way of life.

Short-Track Racing Coming to Fair The Community Foundation of Colusa County and the 44th DAA will cosponsor a short-track motorcycle race at the Colusa County Fair on June 11. Proceeds from this new event will benefit the 44th DAA and the Foundation, which awards grants to Colusa County non-profit groups and organizations.

He said there is a limit of 42 riders being accepted into the race due to time considerations. Each heat in the Colusa County race will be run on a 1/10-plus-mile flat oval track, taking about three-and-a-half minutes to complete a heat. The bikes travel at 20-25 m.p.h., for about 18 seconds per lap.

Short-track, or flat-track, racing involves between four and eight competitors riding around an oval track in a counter-clockwise direction over a set number of laps, usually six to eight, with points or transfer positions being awarded on a sliding scale. Points are accumulated over a number of heats, with the winner scoring the most overall. In the case of elimination heats, highest finishing positions transfer to the next racing event. The skill of flat-track racing lies in the ability of the rider to control his motorcycle when cornering to avoid losing places through deceleration.

“If riders are interested, they should contact me at 530-476-0703 or call the fair office at 530-458-2641,” Brewen said. Applications are also available online at colusacountyfair.com or at the fair office. There is a $30 entry fee prior to June 1, and $50 entry fee after that date. Pit-crew passes (maximum of two per rider) are $10 each. No riders under 16-years-of-age will be allowed to enter. Riders 16 and 17 must have a signed parental consent to race. The event will have a $10 general admission. Pit gates will open at 3:30 p.m., practice at 5:00 p.m., and racing begins at 7 pm.

Foundation board member Gary Brewen is serving as chair of the race project.

Brewen had a brief stint in the 1960s and 1970s as a professional short track competitor. He explained that the motorcycles used is this type of racing are stripped-down street bikes.

Modern short track bikes are typically modified moto-crossers. “Most of the ‘70s era trackers don’t have brakes,” he said. Riders wear a steel shoe on the left foot as a balance point when setting up for the turn.

Brewen, recalling his days as a racer, said there appears to be a revival of the sport nationwide. At a recent Arizona race, more than 8,000 die-hard fans of the sport filled the stands, despite rumors of icy rain and persistent snow flurries.

CRMC continued inception, 250 pieces of art have rotated through the hospital. “People need to have something other than white walls to look at,” Kennedy said. “(The artwork) is really conducive to healing. Some pieces may be comical and bring some peace to the soul, others may show a lot of serenity and make us inspired.” “Now the hospital is more like a home,” Davison said.

“It’s a more relaxing setting and healing atmosphere.” The intention is to create the same healing atmosphere at the new clinic with Kronberg”s watercolors, mostly local scenery, animals and agriculture.

In previous years, the CRMC Art Committee has hosted art shows at the Arbuckle Clinic, Williams Clinic

Brewen added that volunteers are needed to work the day of the race.

There will be a training day about a week prior to the event. “Anyone interested in becoming a part of this event should give me a call,” he said.

El rápido derretimiento de la nieve a la llegada de la primavera representa un peligro Las recreaciones que son llevadas al aire libre, tienen que tener precauciones por el repentino cambio de temperatura, el cambio brusco de la corriente.

Sacramento, Ca.-El derretimiento de la nieve en primavera ha hecho que se activen precauciones del departamento de electricidad (PG&E) y del departamento de botes y aguas (DBW), urgiéndoles a las personas que se recrean cerca de corrientes de agua tener el debido cuidado para no sufrir de incidentes.

El departamento de utilidades del estado y sus agencias previno que los paquetes con nieve son un poco más grandes de lo normal en esta época del año. Como los días son más calientes y más largos la nieve en las montanas comienza a derretirse, lo cual ocasiona los cambios bruscos de temperatura en los ríos así como el cambio en el brusco aumento de la corriente.

“Las personas que planeen pasear cerca de las montanas y los ríos, o canales necesitan estar atentos y tomar las apropiadas precauciones , nos menciono Alvin Thoma, el director del PG &E. Las corrientes del agua cambiaran debido al derretimiento de la nieve por lo tanto debemos de precaver que se tendrán varios cambios en la corriente del agua así como en la temperatura .
