The family of Deana Jean (Sloan) Campbell would like to give each of you a heartfelt “thank you” who came from far and near and provided their love and support in so many unique ways and especially to those that shared their wonderful experiences of how Deana touched their lives. Those memories will last us a lifetime.

There are no words that can express what we feel in our hearts, but we want everyone to know just how much we appreciate all the things that were done to help us and honor Deana.

Weeks: Too little on the ballot |

I received my Lake County ballot from the registrar this week and was livid!
How much money was spent to mail out ballots for one position for the board of Mendocino College?
I am glad that we have a campus of Mendo College here, but can't the board be elected when there are other matters on the ballot?
What a waste of money at a time when so much is being cut for lack of county funds. This is a travesty.

McSorley: Event was too loud, too long |

Last weekend, Sept. 18 through 20, there was loud Christian faith music and revival permitted to occur in Nice for three straight days and nights in which the sound decibels often exceeded allowable levels, yet were to permitted to continue by the local sheriff's department.
By Sunday at 8 p.m., while this gathering continued in almost Branch Davidian Waco-esque style, I phoned the sheriff's nonemergency number to lodge three complaints – all to no avail. The harried dispatcher said she had received numerous complaints but was told by the sergeant on duty that the revivalists had a permit, and they could play until 9 p.m.
I am not an unreasonable person. If the activities had occurred just once on either Friday or Saturday and went until 9 p.m., so what? However, these activities were allowed to go on for three consecutive weekend days and nights, and effectively, disrupted Nice residents' rights to worship (or not) as they see fit.
I felt sorry for any Jewish people in Nice who had their sabbath and high holy days disrupted in such rude fashion. The fact that our law enforcement officers chose to not enforce the noise ordinance is yet another issue perhaps to be decided next election day.
