Thirteen of these original drawings have been made into limited-edition contact prints (50 per drawing and the prints at $75 each). They were on sale that night, I don't know if they are still available. Maybe someone can let us know.<BR/><BR/>Mays’ prints’ total proceeds will go to a nonprofit organization that event organizers Titus and Karen Pingitore have named in Mays’ honor — the “Amaysing” Grace Foundation, which was begun to help Ferndale families (95536 area code) who must travel for medical treatment for their children.<BR/><BR/>Phone 707-786-4111 or 786-4611 for more information.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-22557336365165863492007-02-09T16:43:00.000-08:002007-02-09T16:43:00.000-08:00The police report from the same issue would seem t...The police report from the same issue would seem to bear you out 4:32:<BR/>Jan. 22: - Traffic stop at Hwy 211 & Sage for speed violation<BR/>Jan. 24: - Report of chimney fire in the 600 block of Main<BR/>- Pedestrian stopped at main and Milton for riding skateboard in the middle of the road.<BR/>Jan 25: - Vehicle stop at Ocean and Main for lighting violation.<BR/>- Erratic driver reported on the Wildcat.<BR/>- Vehicle investigation on Lewis St.<BR/>Jan. 27: - Traffic stop at Hwy 211 and Market for brakelight violation.<BR/>- Report of loose horses on Port Kenyon.<BR/>- Traffic stop at Hwy 211 and Port Kenyon for speeding and failure to yield to sign.<BR/>- Traffic stop for taillight violation at Centerville and Meridian.<BR/>- Loose cows returned to field at Hwy. 211 and Waddington.<BR/>- Report of burned out vehicle at Centerville Beach, recovered stolen vehicle.<BR/>Jan. 28: - Report of man with taser at the ferndale Fairgrounds inside the track.<BR/>- Traffic stop at Port Kenyon and Fulmor for stop sign violation.<BR/>Jan. 29: - Follow up on stolen plastic cow.<BR/><BR/>What's the story on the plastic cow?Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-23748788009784913802007-02-09T16:32:00.000-08:002007-02-09T16:32:00.000-08:00lawson is NOT well liked here in ferndale.

Contrast that with what he is doing now.<br /><i>Garbage cases, said Gallegos, come in two forms: Cases that would lose if actually brought to trial and cases that are overcharged for the crimes committed. The idea behind filing both kinds of garbage, he said, is to get the defendant to plead guilty, netting a conviction without having to go into court.<br /><br />"Probably 95 percent of the cases that are filed plead guilty. In fact, there are a lot of cases that are filed on the assumption they will plead guilty, because of the time and expense involved in defending them. But these cases shouldn't even be filed in the first place, because if they were challenged, they would lose," Gallegos said. Better yet: If they weren't filed at all, it would save the county time and money...."</i> <a href="http://www.northcoastjournal.com/022102/elect0221.html">NCJ - In the News 2/21/02</a>Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-41292857513739557902007-02-05T09:04:00.000-08:002007-02-05T09:04:00.000-08:00I thought in Gallegos first election he said he wa...I thought in Gallegos first election he said he wasn't going to waste resouces on chicken cases.
