News- Survivor Tree story Posted: 31 May 2007 12:33 PM CDT Mount Shasta Herald- News: Survivor Tree offspring dedicated By Sibyl Walski A color guard opens the dedication of the trees ceremony at the College of the Siskiyous on May 25. A solemn presentation of colors by a local Boy Scout troop and the skirl of bagpipes by CDF firefighters opened the formal dedication ceremony of three young elm trees grown from seeds of the Survivor Tree. The elms were planted Friday in a protected area behind the board room at College of the Siskiyous in Weed. Three more wait in the wings for planting in what will be an oasis of quiet natural space on the campus in which to reflect and meditate - a peace garden. They are the only offspring of the Survivor Tree known to exist at any public institution in California. Local resident Marie Mitchell, who lost her brother FDNY Lt. Paul Mitchell in the 9-11 attack, acquired the seeds at a gathering of 9-11 survivor families in 2003 as a gift from Betty Robins, a survivor of the Murrah Federal Building attack in Oklahoma City in 1996 and a founder of the Survivor Tree Program. For three years they were nursed along by the gardener at Shasta Abbey, first in the greenhouse, then outdoors to weather-harden them. The invocation for Friday's event was delivered by a monk of the Abbey. Rev. Master Kodo Kaye spoke of "the lines of connection" among humans geographically far apart, but close in their hearts. Betty Robins came to Weed to help dedicate the trees. A friend and colleague of Paul Mitchell, Battalion Chief Steven San Filippo, also participated. San Filippo did not go home for three weeks after 9-11 because the enormity of the devastation kept him on the front lines. Both also spoke of the connections, and how they all led to each other from the trial by fire they each experienced, and to Siskiyou County through Mitchell, as well. The Survivor Tree is a 90 year old tree that once spread its canopy over the parking lot of the Murrah Building and whose shade the workers "coveted," to use human bombing survivor Robins' word, through the hot Oklahoma summers. It suffered severe blast damage the day the Murrah Federal Building was bombed. So severe was the damage, in fact, that after investigators finished digging shrapnel out of its wood, the plan was to take it down completely. Then it did something to reverse the human decision. It leafed out the following spring, as it always had. Human survivors began to see it as a symbol of resilience and recovery from trauma they could take to their own hearts, and they began to collect its seeds. Nurserymen throughout Oklahoma began to grow seedlings and distribute them among the survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing. The distribution spread to those individuals and communities who promised to care for the seedlings. Lines of connection spread in ways and directions the Oklahomans never anticipated via those seedlings. They are now rooted in communities all over the country. FDNY firefighters came to Oklahoma City in the aftermath of the tragedy to assist any way they could, and a connection was forged between the two cities that brought Oklahomans in their turn to help the 9-11 families, if only to show them that they could go on. Almost none of the firefighters who rushed to help in Oklahoma had survived the disaster in their own city, San Filippo said, but the cords of connection did. COS president David Pelham said the trees now taking root in Siskiyou County soil "are dedicated to those who lost their lives and to the concept of international understanding and peace, that these concepts be a focus in our hearts, our minds and our lives for the rest of all time." The original tree was nursed back to health and looks surprisingly whole. It still spreads its branches in the midst of the memorial to the event that changed it and so many others for life. "

Local News - Good Samaritan Rescue Posted: 30 May 2007 10:13 PM CDT MyMotherLode.com - Local News - : Good Samaritan Rescues Accident Victim Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 04:25 PM Bill Johnson MML News Director Sonora, CA -- Thanks to wearing a seat belt, Sonora's Bill Schuler is alive to enjoy another day after his single vehicle accident. Early Tuesday afternoon the former president of the Tuolumne County Board of Realtors was headed eastbound on Hwy 108 in his 1992 Ford Explorer when he attempted to make a right hand turn onto Via Este. His brakes locked and the car headed straight into a ravine approximately 20-25 feet below street level. 21 year old Jeff Hike of Sonora jumped into the ravine, kicked in the back window, cut the seatbelt with his pocket knife and led Schuler to safety. While the car suffered major damage, Schuler had only a scratch on his right elbow and some back pain to show for an incident that could have taken his life were it not for his seatbelt.

Time to prepare for catastrophic fire? Posted: 31 May 2007 12:33 AM CDT Mount Shasta Herald, Weed Press, Dunsmuir News - Mt. Shasta News - News: Now is time to prepare for catastrophic fire By Paul Boerger Published: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 2:10 PM CDT Global warming has hit the forests says CAL FIRE battalion chief Margy Marshall, and with southern Siskiyou County having a long history of wildfires it is only a matter of time before another one occurs. Marshall says it is up to citizens to prepare the areas around their homes to defend their property. At a May 23 presentation at the Stage Door Carbaret Coffeehouse in Mount Shasta, Marshall strongly made the case that homes with a "defensible space" have a high rate of survivability from a wildfire. "You home will have a 86 to 95 percent chance of survival if you choose to manage the vegetation around your home," Marshall said, noting that California law now requires 100 feet of defensible space. Marshall showed historical maps of the large fires that have occurred around Mount Shasta, several coming right up the city boundary. "It would be naive to think that it can't happen again," Marshall said. Marshall said the following step are essential in preparing for a wildfire: € Choose fire safe building materials whenever possible; € Have a "lean, clean and green zone" immediately surrounding your home that includes clearing for 30 feet and a "reduced fuel zone" for an additional 70 feet; € Prepare for evacuating to a safe area. Know where the safe areas are in your city; and € Pay attention to the "little things" during the summer such as cleaning gutters, moving wood piles away from the home and don't let flammable materials accumulate in your yard such as under the deck. "By reducing the chance of your home igniting, you can make a difference," Marshall said. Marshall said the impact of global warming cannot be ignored. "Since 1986, longer, warmer summers have resulted in a fourfold increase in major wildfires. Researchers attribute these changes to an increase in summer temperatures and earlier melting of snow pack," Marshall said. "Snowpacks are melting one to four weeks earlier than they did 50 years ago. We are at 50 percent normal right now." Marshall said she has been a firefighter since 1977 and has seen a "big change" in the number of fires. "It used to be unusual for us to deploy elsewhere," Marshall said. "Now, hardly a summer goes by when we aren't sent somewhere." The Mount Shasta Area Fire Safety Plan has the following recommendations if a wildfire occurs: € For an evacuation, make plans for moving pets and valuables, turn off propane, dress in long pants, long sleeved shirt and cap and check on children, elderly or disabled in your community; € If you are unable to evacuate, stay inside your home away from outside walls. Remember it will be hotter outside that inside the home. Keep doors closed and unlocked, stay together and remain calm. Once the fire has passed, check your home, attic and yard for burning embers and extinguish small fires if safe to do so. If you become trapped in your car, park as far away from grass, brush, trees and power lines as possible, close doors, windows and vents. Cover yourself with a blanket or jacket. Marshall said she was part of the crews that fought the Cedar Fire near San Diego that destroyed over 3,000 homes and killed over 20 civilians, in addition to firefighters. "Most of the civilians who were killed, died trying to flee the fire in their cars," Marshall said, stressing again to make your home defensible. Marshall said CAL FIRE is available to inspect homes and make suggestions on how to create defensible space. Check local listings for the nearest station. "The signs are all around us that a wildfire will occur," Marshall said. "You can make a difference." "

Firefighter Told To Move Them Posted: 30 May 2007 10:32 AM CDT Firefighter Told To Move Them LINK: May 23, 2007 California - The white front and red glittery strip of lights on a 1966 fire engine peeks out from behind a wooden fence in a newer suburban area. They give away a neighborhood fixture: Mark Hathaway's two historic fire engines. When Hathaway isn't at work as a city firefighter in San Jose, he is tinkering with the engines' wiring and shining their sleek red surfaces. He has become legendary at Cowell Elementary School, a couple of blocks away, for regularly giving his 7-year-old daughter, Melaine, and her friends rides to school in the engines. His 3-year-old son, Mathew, rides in a child seat. But city code enforcement officials say the engines break a city law banning vehicles over 8,000 pounds in residential areas, even on private property. The fire engines weigh 24,000 to 25,000 pounds each. He has until June 11 to move them. "The reason I bought my house was because it would house my fire engines," said Hathaway, 36, who moved to Woodside Way about 5 and a half years ago and bought one of the engines soon after. "I chose the city of Manteca. It is supposed to be 'The Family City' and my fire engines are part of my family. I have two young kids who would be very sad to see them leave, and so would I." The hoses and exterior fixtures would be vulnerable to vandalism at a storage park for recreational vehicles, he said. Replacing the windshield on the 1966 fire engine would cost at least $1,000, and the round, metal siren proudly centered on the vehicle is $1,400. A well-wisher whom Hathaway had never met showed up at his door and offered him a spot of land for the trucks, but Hathaway said he would have to put money into a shed to house them securely. Hathaway grew up next to San Jose's Fire Station 9. By age 5, he had acquired a love for the engines, visiting the station and then saving up money for toy engines. The first real one came when he turned 18. It was a 1970 fixer-upper he later sold to San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico. He bought the 1966, his most recent, about three years ago. Trouble arrived April 28 when someone sent an anonymous, online complaint to the city's government outreach site reporting the engines and a camper in the driveway. An anonymous caller also left a voice message with a complaint about the camper protruding onto the sidewalk. The city sent a courtesy letter to Hathaway on May 1 stating the camper couldn't be parked in the driveway and the engines violated the weight rule. School, neighborhood support Neighbors praised Hathaway and signed 24 letters to the city asking that the engines be allowed to stay. But the City Council voted 4-0 Monday evening not to pursue changes to the code or an exception for Hathaway. "I support you," Councilman Vince Hernandez said. "It is all those 12 or 13 or 14 other people who will line up behind you and say, 'What about me?' (that I can't support)," he said. "It's a difficult situation." Hathaway supporter Jim Rachels, a lifelong Manteca resident whose children, ages 7 and 10, have attended field trips to Hathaway's trucks, scoffed at implying that letting the engines stay would open a Pandora's box to comparable requests. "It's embarrassing, quite frankly," Rachels, 44, said. "Mark has been there for 5 and a half years without any issues. He offers a community service. He has field trips, he is at every event, and his passion as a firefighter is an asset to our community." Cowell Principal Harriet Myrick shook her head at the possibility of no longer seeing children arrive at school on the engine. "It won't ever be the same," she said. "Kids will never have that thrill of riding to school in a fire engine. How many kids get to do that? "He offers a free service, and in education today, there is not a lot of that." The city's Fire Department does presentations only for students in grades 2-4, she said. Hathaway has given his presentations to students at Cowell and at Woodward elementary schools and brought his truck to community events. The effort earned him the name "The Fire Engine Guy" and sometimes, "The Fire Truck Guy." "I don't know what I'm going to do," Hathaway said. "If I can talk to a lawyer and take it to court? I don't know. I don't think it is fair." Written by Modesto Bee
